Surviving the Romance Fantasy

In this way, the teapot was prepared, and the dragon snow prepared by Seal Haga was put in the cup and served.

Each cup of that luxurious tea, with its pure white steam rising, was more expensive than dozens of meals for ordinary people.

Just pouring it into a glass gave off a subtle scent, filling the room with the scent of tea.

The maids closed their eyes and enjoyed the scent. Goods of this level were not easy to find, even in the Prince’s Palace.

‘Now… drink…’

Gaju Ha, who was lowering her head, laughed secretly inwardly.

It was the moment when the maid Seolran brought the star cup and scooped up some of the contents inside the teacup.

– Stand tall

“…”

Seolran was silent for a moment, looking down at the contents of the star cup.

That cold gaze is completely different from Seolran’s always lively appearance.

For a moment, Ha Gaju felt a shiver run down her spine.

At this point, there is no way to know what trick Seolran has in store for that star cup.

It’s not like there were any awkward parts in the process of getting here. This wouldn’t be the first time seeing signs of the crown prince.

All of this is just routine.

Nevertheless, there was a strange sense of discomfort in the sight of Seolran looking startled.

‘Have you noticed…? how? ‘I have no clue?’

Seolran’s eyes began to brighten little by little. At the same time, Matriarch Ha couldn’t help but strain her eyes.

Ha Kang-seok had to catch his breath for a moment.

In any case, it was a situation in which one should not lose one’s composure. The moment you turn your head to respond immediately to whatever situation unfolds –

– Hwiik

– gulp

The moment of reprieve that felt like eons was short-lived, and Seolran drank the tea in one go, refreshingly enough.

“I don’t think there is any major problem.”

After saying that, Seolran went behind the crown prince again, held her sleeves together, and bowed her head.

‘Whoa…’

Only then was Ha Kang-seok able to catch his breath. Anyway, things worked out as planned.

“…”

However, the moment of silence before drinking the tea left a strange feeling of anxiety in a corner of Gaju Ha’s heart.

*

One day, because of Seol I-mun, who suddenly became crazy about murder and started a rebellion, Hwayong Seol, a famous and powerful person, was instantly exterminated.

There are only two survivors of the Hwayong Seol family, who inherited the blood of the Seol Imun.

There were widespread rumors that the two were inside Cheongdo Palace.

In fact, everyone already knows.

One is Seol Tae-pyeong, head of the main palace, and the other is Seol-ran, a byeolseon maid in the crown prince’s palace.

The brother and sister, who started out as the illegitimate children of a rebel family, are now occupying important positions in the palace. There are still many people who point fingers at them.

Blood is thicker than water, and if you are a descendant of that madman, it is obvious even without looking at it. He must have been born with some strange temperament.

These were the people who said that and threw stones in their hearts.

Even though so many contributions have been made and such a long time has passed, the stigma does not easily disappear. Such is the original sin of the rebel family.

However, in some respects, those who point fingers may be right.

One was born with the qualities of a swordsman, and the other was born with the qualities of a protagonist.

And, those born with something extraordinary have a tendency to become stronger in the face of trials and tricks.

That is the decisive factor that differentiates ordinary people from great people.

Seol-ran, the byeolseon maid, is sitting at a distance behind Prince Hyeonwon, lowering her head while covering her lower body with her sleeve.

If you look at it from an angle where others can’t see it, the inside of her sleeves are soaked wet.

──Because I was spitting out the tea in my mouth little by little onto my sleeve.

At the same time, he evaluates the head of the family, Ha Kang-seok, with rational and cool-headed eyes. There seems to be a strange glow at the end of those eyes, which is infinitely similar to the appearance of Seol Taepyeong with his sword drawn.

‘I could feel the traces of Seonju at the end of the star cup. You don’t seem to know that I know how to distinguish Taoist techniques. I have to thank Master Ahn.’

The lively and lively look in her eyes from her childhood still remains, but as she worked as a maid in the star line, her cool-headedness gradually began to show in her.

‘I’m not sure, but they’re trying to use me as a weakness to manipulate Taepyeong.’

Seolran is the main character.

And being a Ropan Yeoju is not something that just anyone can do.

“Wow, this is the dragon snow that came as a real product…! It smells really good…! “I don’t know about anything else about Seal Haga, but it is excellent at growing tea…!”

Meanwhile, in Cheonokjeong of Cheonryongchae… there was Princess Ahyeon, who was smiling with the joy of the world as she gulped down some luxurious tea for the first time in a while.

“it’s good…! delicious…!”

Princess Ahyeon simply found the dragon snow so delicious.

…It was really, really delicious.

Japanese Ghost (1)

Around the time when Seol Tae-pyeong held the title of Hyeongwoljang and ruled as the owner of Hyeongjaebang, he was accumulating a lot of power…

The maid, Seolran, was also piling up a lot of things.

As a byeolseon maid in the Crown Prince’s palace, she wielded numerous Nine Swords, and learned minor Taoist skills from Baekdosa Ancheon.

I was able to hear rumors about the power structure among the military officers from the military commander of the Red Palace… and since I was familiar with the news among the maids, I was able to understand the situation inside and outside the palace to some extent.

However, you cannot leave the crown prince’s palace.

When you become a Byeolseon maid, you are in a position to move numerous maids, so there is no need to run errands.

Thanks to this, it is inevitable that my physical freedom is greatly restricted compared to the days when I was an apprentice and went to and from Cheongdo Palace under the pretext of running errands.

It is inevitable that as the delay increases, the number of eyes will increase.

Meanwhile, the head of the Sealing House even tried to poison her, and Seolran felt it all over again.

It seems like just yesterday that I was overjoyed because my younger brother, whom I cared so much for, received a prison sentence, and before I knew it, I myself had risen considerably in status.

As high-ranking officials begin to try to use him as a political tactic, he cannot help but realize that his position has become quite serious.

‘I don’t think Gaju Ha still knows that I didn’t drink poison.’

I sit behind Prince Hyeonwon with my head down and gather my thoughts.

I heard a lot of news that the sealing family and the Jeongseon family were fighting over the place of execution.

There was a high possibility that the reason the head of the Seal Haga family tried to poison Seolran was to manipulate Seol Taepyeong, the head of the Hyeongwol, to his will.

After noticing the talent of her younger brother, Seol Tae-pyeong, Seol-ran made a decision.

If you don’t think you can help Seol Taepyeong’s success as his real sister, then don’t interfere at all.

As one goes down the path of a great cause, one’s family is often in danger as well.

If you cannot control the person involved, it is common in politics to try to control the family.

Whether you’re kidnapped, intimidated, or bribed…

Because people try to manipulate people to their will by somehow creating flaws, the existence of family often acts as a weakness.

In order for that not to happen, you have to come to your senses.

Seolran’s hair was already in a state of split ends.

‘Shall we report all the facts to His Majesty the Crown Prince? Even if the purpose was to be a maid, poisoning the tea that His Majesty the Crown Prince touches is not a crime that can be easily overlooked.’

At the point when Seol-ran has already figured out Ga-ju Ha’s intentions, it is as if she has obtained a powerful weapon that will end the whole situation.

Although it is not as strong as the Jeongseon Inga, the authority of the Seal Haga is quite high.

Considering his many years of service to the Qingdao government, there is a high possibility that he will be sentenced to a very harsh punishment, although he will not be sentenced to death.

However, that did not seem to be what Seol Taepyeong wanted.

‘Taepyeong is trying to walk a tightrope between the sealing haga and the Jeongseon family, but it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to condemn the sealing haga…’

Seolran pondered for a moment, but eventually completely gathered her thoughts.

And after that… He took a moment to catch his breath and pinched his thighs tightly.

“hehehehe… Keuhuhuh…”

Since her days at Baekseon Palace, Seolran has been evaluated as ‘everything else is good, but her acting is not good.’

However, painful acting can be done somehow.

The method is simple.

This is because you really have to harm your own body and end up in pain.

….It’s such a simple and ignorant method that you wonder if it’s okay to do this.

“Huh… Huh…”

“Lady Seol…?”

“I overworked myself yesterday… and I’m not feeling well…”

In any case, the head of the Sealing House would think that he had taken poison.

The wisest decision is to leave this in place and discuss detailed policies with Seol Taepyeong.

Establishing a means to contact Seol Tae-pyeong seemed to be an urgent matter.

However, it is Seoltaepyeong who spends most of the day’s work not in the main palace but in the active room. I felt like I needed to think a bit more about how to contact them.

“When do you think Ilgwi Pyeonryang will appear?”

The next day, I sat quietly in Cheonyongchae’s Cheonokjeong and asked Princess Ahyeon.

Anyway, to kill the Yeokdeunggwi, you must catch all the Baekgwi, Ilgwi, and Wolgwi.

I was able to defeat Wolgwi without difficulty because I had the Boyeopsword that old man Baekseon gave me, but I was worried because I heard that it would be a bit difficult to start with Ilgwi.

From my perspective, I have no choice but to keep my body in good condition, train myself, and wait for the right time to come, but when Princess Ahyeon looked at me like that, she rested her chin and spoke with a serious expression.

“…….I don’t know…”

“…”

A-hyeon, a great girl who took on the world’s crisis on her back as she returned several times to kill the evil spirits.

She… seemed to have a poor memory.

“Taepyeong… are you thinking that my memory is terrible…?”

I really liked that topic.

“This is not a problem of memory… How strong is retrograde ghosting? “As the Ilgwi, Moongwi, and Baekgwi receive the power of the reverse demon directly, there are too many variables in their movements in each episode.”

Surely, this time, Yue Gui suddenly appeared in the middle of Tianlongchae?

Thinking about it, I had no idea how Ilgwi Pyeongyang would come for my head.

From my perspective, it’s not very pleasant because it feels like I’m just wiping my neck and waiting.

Still, it felt like time was passing smoothly as I was managing the active room given to me by General Deputy and working on the Hyeongwoljang together.

The season has already changed and fall is passing by.

The season when the vegetation is lush is over and the leaves are falling, so the days feel shorter.

Princess Ahyeon quietly gazed at the waterfall under the dark early evening sky.

Seeing how he can take his time like that while changing time so many times makes me feel like I can’t make sense of it.

Or maybe, if I didn’t do it like that, my heart wouldn’t be able to endure it.

…Is this giving too much meaning?

Maybe I’m just out of my mind…

“Taepyeong.”

“yes.”

“I feel like I’ve been harboring a lot of very rude thoughts about myself in my mind lately…”

“…”

“I’m not denying it… ugh…”

As I said, I have a really good feeling about such topics.

“Well, we don’t know when Ilgwi will arrive, but… we can still guess.”

“Is that so?”

“How treacherous the return to the station is. “I’m sure Tae-pyeong will wait for the moment when you find it most difficult to deal with it and then send you out.”

“Are you talking about moments when I find it difficult to deal with…?”

I heard that Ilgwi Pyeongyang was a disaster so magnificent that it destroyed one-tenth of the vast Cheongdo Palace.

When such a gigantic ghost appears, shouldn’t you be obsessed with killing it first, abandoning all other matters?

Is there anything more important in the world than that, waiting for an embarrassing moment? No matter when it appears, you have to throw away everything you are doing and run to kill it first.

However, you don’t know what’s going on in the world.

I can’t move carelessly because the reverse ghost may see something that is invisible to me.

“If you think about it, Ilgwi Pyeonryang appears as if Taepyeong was always waiting for you when you were in an important situation. “For example, when the Lunar New Year’s maid is in danger… or when something big happens in the active room…”

“My head hurts just thinking about it…”

“But I’ve handled it well every time… You’ll be fine as long as you don’t let down your guard… So don’t ever let down your guard…”

After saying that, Princess Ahyeon changed the topic.

“Anyway, I want to get Seol’s maid back to Tianlongchae until Ilgwi shows up. As I said, once the Ilgwi incident is over, my authority will be greatly diminished.”

“…”

“Don’t make a gloomy face. “It’s all bound to happen.”

Wolgwi and Ilgwi.

When two special spirits appear in the middle of Cheongdo Palace, the qualifications of the Princess of Cheondo, who occupies Cheonryongchae, are bound to be questioned.

Princess Cheondo, who is nothing but a shell, having used up almost all of the power of the Heavenly Dragon in order to kill Yeokdeunggwi.

There is no way for her to survive the pointing of the dignitaries.

What happens to the dethroned Princess Cheondo?

I don’t know.

And Princess Ahyeon doesn’t even tell me that. As if I would do anything if I knew.

This bothered me so much that I asked about it several times, but Princess Ahyeon repeatedly brushed it off with a hearty smile.

“After thinking about it day and night, I came up with a clever plan. Listen carefully, Taepyeong…”

“Are you talking about a silver bullet?”

“Put aside your doubts and just listen… It’ll be better than you think…”

Nowadays, it has become possible to cast an open eye of suspicion towards the princess of the heavenly capital of a country.

How blasphemous this is… If the maids at Tianlongchae found out, they would grab me by the back of my neck and throw me out, but I am also human.

When people are exposed to repeated environments, they adapt.

Princess Ahyeon….

Princess Ahyeon… is quite an easy person…!

That’s true, but what should I do…!

From Noble mtl dot com

“It’s making the Lunar New Year’s maid… suffer from fever.”

And the plan that Princess Ahyeon came up with was something I couldn’t even imagine.

“This is Inyun, a craftsman. As I heard, you are a tall person. Oh hoho.”

“I make a living by smelting metal. This is Inokcheon. “I heard a lot from the Chief Secretary, Hyeongwoljang Nari.”

“I’m In Gwi-chun, the blacksmith. Nice to meet you.”

A week later, people who had probably been lying on the floor for decades came pouring into the active room.

All of them had been working in the metallurgical industry for a long time, and except for In-yoon, a craftsman, all of them had wrinkles, which seemed to be unusual for their experience.

These technicians are not easy to deal with.

If the environment is not optimal, they will not work, and if they are not treated properly, they will try to leave for a better place.

As instructed by Seal Haga, they come into the active room and sit down, but if you do not provide them with the best environment, sooner or later the active room will become noisy.

Since this was not a very pleasant experience for me, I gave my warmest greetings to In-yoon, who was in front of me as a representative of the technicians.

“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far! “I heard that the Secretary-General is also coming for an inspection tomorrow, so I’ll be able to hear a lot of good things about him!”

“…”

Active room at home.

I shouted that in front of the technicians who greeted me, but the response was very cold.

Sea as expected.
