Chapter Index

    After much deliberation, he finally allowed me to accompany him, so it seems clear that he and Jojo are acquaintances.

    So who is it?

    This woman looks like a noble lady somewhere.

    “Is there anything you want to say to me…?”

    “It’s not like that, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

    The other person said that with a bright smile and dismissed my question, but wouldn’t it be strange if something that was bothering me no longer bothered me because of that one word?

    “I’d like to do that too, but you’ve been staring at me too intently since a while ago.”

    “Ah… I was so amazed that I ended up being rude without realizing it.”

    “Amazing? Me?”

    “Yes, I didn’t know it really existed.”

    Was the appearance of a noble lady somewhere not just a façade? It was a way of speaking that I could not easily understand.

    I didn’t know people could actually exist.

    So does that mean I’m some kind of fantasy creature?

    It was beyond absurd and even embarrassing, but the reason I couldn’t easily reveal those feelings was because of the other person’s appearance.

    I thought I had become accustomed to beautiful women not only here in the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also through the worlds of Hypnosis Academy and Guryong City.

    The blonde-haired woman who is staring at me right now feels a bit different from the people I’ve seen so far.

    If the beauty I felt from Cao Cao, Cao Ren, or the Hahou sisters was close to raw, then what I felt from that woman now was closer to the beauty of a jewel carved with all her might by a craftsman with such outstanding skill that he was called a master craftsman.

    So… should I say that it is a thoroughly calculated beauty?

    Not only the clothes she was wearing, but also the small accessories scattered throughout her body and even the wrinkles on her clothes seemed to exist solely to highlight her beauty.

    The original version was already enough to make me feel like I was seeing a beautiful person, so it felt like I was seeing not a person but a goddess briefly incarnated in royalties.

    That’s why I became convinced that the other person couldn’t be just a talented person.

    Common sense tells us that a person who gives off this feeling cannot be an ordinary person.

    As I felt my curiosity boiling over, the other person’s identity was finally revealed.

    None other than through Jojo’s mouth.

    “···I wish you would stop making useless jokes. Herbal medicine.”

    “Why? Is it because you’re embarrassed? Or… is it because you’re worried about something else?”

    The way he smiled while slightly folding his eyes and smiling was quite charming. Enough to mesmerize two or three people.

    That was why I became even more wary of the person I was already wary of.

    From my perspective, I had no choice but to do that because I already knew.

    The fact that the woman who is now teasing Jojo with her playful expressions and gestures will later become Jojo’s biggest enemy.

    Elemental herbs.

    A hero who later defeated Gongsun Zan, known as the Ghost of the North, and stood tall as the conqueror of Hebei.

    He was also a person who fought in the Battle of Guandu with Cao Cao.

    That person was standing in front of me right now.

    With unrealistic beauty wrapped around her body like a weapon.

    “Are you worried? Me?”

    “I thought it was because I was worried about what would happen if Lord Soohyun fell for me again… I guess that wasn’t the case?”

    “Hmph, even if you die and wake up, that won’t happen.”

    A confident voice.

    The moment something like that crossed Jojo’s lips and appeared in the world, I saw it. The sight of Won Soo’s eyes narrowing.

    And as soon as I could see such a scene, what came to mind was the image of a cat that had found a toy that piqued its interest for the first time in a while.

    “Really? Are you sure?”

    “If you want to go back to your mansion even now, let me know. I can give away at least one horse.”

    “Just kidding. joke. After all, why would I covet my one and only friend? The floor of Luoyang is already overflowing with people who want to follow me?”

    Despite Yuan Shao’s joking behavior, the wariness in Jojo’s eyes did not go away.

    Cao Cao, who glanced at Yuan Shao with eyes full of wariness, crossed over the gate of the manor that had suddenly appeared.

    A pretty stoic gesture.

    Did Yuan Soo feel that too?

    “I was curious about your reaction so I tried to joke around a bit, but you seem to be angry.”

    Elemental smiled bitterly and mumbled, then turned to the others, including me, and said.

    “Then shall we go in too?”

    ‘Hmm, that’s still it…’

    He’s pretty handsome.

    That was my first impression of a man named Suhyun.

    And there was nothing else to it.

    Somehow, we ended up being no better than evil friends, but Aman used to brag whenever he got the chance, saying that there was nothing he couldn’t do, but honestly, it didn’t seem that way.

    ‘Although he seems to have learned martial arts…’

    That was it.

    Because she seemed extremely weak compared to the two girls called Hebei Ssangwoong, who had decided to dedicate their loyalty to her early on.

    However, he didn’t seem very resourceful.

    Because the man named Yoon Soo-hyun did not have the sparkle characteristic of a tactician or a counselor.

    I don’t know, but if she gets stuck with the tricksters under her, she probably won’t be able to withstand Il Da-kyung and will end up like a bear eating honey.

    Paradoxically, that also made me more curious.

    That’s because the name ‘Aman’ was quite special to her.

    In Luoyang, which is no different from a den of animals, he was the only ‘person’ who could see through her inner thoughts.

    That’s why I wanted to know.

    The reason why my only friend and evil friend in the world fell in love with this man named Yoon Soo-hyun.

    How on earth did Aman come to like this man who had no special qualities so much?

    After all, because of memories from childhood?

    Maybe it’s really because of that.

    Memories become more beautified as the weight of time adds to them.

    It seemed likely that it was because of that, but I was not hasty in jumping to conclusions.

    Maybe it was something that hadn’t been discovered yet.

    The specialness of the man who made Aman fall in love with him.

    So I continued to observe… and as I did so, I was able to discover it.

    So… It must have been the moment when Cao Cao, who had led his party to a place in the manor that was considered the deepest place, snarled at those around him and brought up the story that the emperor might die soon.

    He said there was something he needed to discuss in detail, so I just complied, but I guess he didn’t expect to hear such a thing out of nowhere. While everyone was busy scribbling the word ‘shock’ on their faces with their eyes wide open, only that man remained calm.

    As if he knew that fact in advance.

    According to what I researched a while ago, he seems to have some connections in Luoyang. Did he get news related to him in advance through those connections?

    ‘No way.’

    I laughed at the possibility that immediately popped into my head.

    In a way, it was like laughing at myself, but I had no choice but to do it this time.

    That’s because it was such a ridiculous idea.

    The fact that the emperor will do it today and tomorrow was one of the secrets that they were always working hard to hide.

    This is a matter that is directly related to their fate, so of course it is inevitable.

    Still, what allowed her to reach the truth?

    It was thanks to the information and secrets that came into my hands as I ascended to the second-in-command position in the newly established Seowon County.

    Even she arrived at the truth after putting it all together with difficulty, but the eunuchs, who are keen to notice, find out…?

    If there was a person with such insight among the officials currently working in the government, she was willing to step forward and recruit them into her power.

    Unfortunately, such a person does not exist.

    So, it’s not like he heard it from anyone in advance… and the fact that he reacted so calmly even though he didn’t hear it beforehand…

    ‘You don’t see the emperor as an emperor.’

    Like someone who named their family dog the emperor’s name.

    Although it was only a little, I liked a man for the first time.

    That kind of specialness cannot be achieved just because you are good at martial arts or because you are resourceful.

    So it was a bit disappointing.

    If Aman wasn’t the only one who had his eye on her, he would have drawn her towards him.

    Generals with the power to single-handedly change the atmosphere of the battlefield, and strategists who can come up with a plan that can overwhelm the heavens are precious, but just as precious, or even more precious than them, are those who look at the world from a different perspective than others. That is.

    Just look at it now.

    “Then… I have to make a choice first. Is it the Dong clan or the Ha clan?”

    While everyone else is busy wandering around in panic, aren’t you just taking strides forward alone?

    I also liked that instead of the names of the princes, they mentioned those who were standing behind them.

    You probably know it instinctively.

    In the great kingdom that is about to begin, the princes are just pawns in the chess, and those who actually lead the game exist separately.

    “So, what do you think?”

    Sigh… I shouldn’t keep thinking like this…

    ‘Why do you want it like this?’
