Honestly I was hoping we'd see the royal baby in the epilogue, but I guess we'll have to use our imagination hehe

Summary
In true Mr. Queen fashion, I'm adding a few short stories, that belong to the Queen of Swords (QoS) timeline. As Lady Choi so eloquently put it, everyone in the palace has secrets, some too trivial to reveal but provoke too much curiosity to ignore.
More importantly, I started QoS smack in the middle of the story so I'm adding chapters covering the events that led to Cheoljong's visit to Daejojeon in QoS Chapter 1. I am also writing a few other stories that I initially thought were too trivial to even include, and perhaps a few other minor stories after the events of QoS end.
There is probably no need to read QoS to relate to these short stories, but reading the main storyline will add some context.
A caveat: These short stories are not in chronological order.
ALSO: Jang Bong Hwan is still not on this timeline.

Summary
This is an alternate universe where Jang Bong Hwan never travelled back in time, but it follows a similar narrative where Cheoljong appears to be a puppet king, and So Yong is the woman selected by her powerful clan to be queen. It starts smack in the middle of the story where Cheoljong visits the queen’s chambers to find out what her motives are for saving him and Hwa Jin. From there, they have alternating POVs that show what transpired before that iconic confrontation in the Queen’s bedchamber. So Yong comes back from the lake a changed woman: strong, sassy, sly, shrewd.

Summary
АУ без объединения душ СоЁн и БонХвана.
После неудачной попытки самоубийства, Ким СоЁн принимает решение плыть по течению и не высовываться. Но естественно подобное не устраивает клан Кимов. Ким СоЁн должна принести пользу своей семье, живой или мёртвой. Поэтому, заручившись поддержкой своего отца и кузена Ким БьёнИна, СоЁн решает разрушить собственный клан изнутри и установить новые порядки. Только так она сможет спокойно вздохнуть и жить дальше.
Short summary: No-bodymerging AU in which SY decides to destroy her clan from inside so she can live freely. Kim Byeong-in and her father help her with that.
Maybe I will translate this story later, for now I write it the way google auto translate is readable.You can also read this story on my site Song of the Phoenix
