While everyone was busy preparing a banquet for guests who came from far away, what was Sunwook, the first daughter who could be said to be the main character of the day, doing…?

“Huhhh… .”

I was sitting with my back against a bathtub that appeared to have been carved out of stone, enjoying the warmth seeping into my body.

Is it because the water filling the bathtub is just pleasantly warm?

The fatigue that had accumulated in every corner of my body seemed to be melting away.

The sensation I felt in my back and shoulders was especially special.

Perhaps because my breasts were bigger than others, those were the two places that were sore and sore all day long, but after soaking my body in hot water like this, it felt like the knots were gently loosening.

Taking a hot water bath is something I used to do often, but I wonder if it feels so special today because it was after a long hard time.

It was such a difficult journey that such thoughts naturally occurred to me.

During the journey, the number of times I was attacked by bandits or thieves reached seven times.

If you only count the number of times you were directly attacked, it would be twice that amount if you also included things you encountered along the way.

The current world was so chaotic.

This was because poor harvests and exploitation had continued for several years.

Nevertheless, no one is willing to take care of the people’s livelihood… In a way, it was natural that many people could not stand it any longer and rose up with sickles and pitchforks in their hands.

That’s why she felt sad when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Because she could see it in her eyes.

Unlike the leaders who dream of nothing, these people who are mere novices just throw themselves there to survive.

‘Someone has to step up and change the world.’

What if the world doesn’t change?

At some point, a second or third Yellow Turban Red Army will emerge again.

And if that happens, it will be the grassroots who ultimately suffer.

So the world had to change.

That was why he visited Yuan Shao, the successor to the prestigious Yuan family, and entrusted himself to him.

I thought that if people did not hesitate to call her a hero, she might be able to change the world.

What was needed to reorganize the world was not fancy words, but powerful power, and Yuan Shao had enough power to become that squire.

The Yuan clan, a noble family of the Four Three Dukes, is standing behind her, so how could it be so bad?

But… Even after observing this person, Won Won-ra was not convinced that ‘yes, this is the person’.

Instead of becoming confident… as the days passed, my skepticism about the person called Won Soo grew stronger.

I continued my observation by joining the ranks of agents assisting Won So, even taking it upon myself to run tea errands, something I had never done before in my life, but unfortunately it was the same.

Yuan Shao was clearly an outstanding person.

It was clear that he was an exceptional person worthy of being called a hero… In the ‘world’ that was in that woman’s mind, there were no images of the common people.

There seemed to be no such thing as ‘us’ except ‘I’ who stood tall and reigned over the world.

Is it really right to give such a person the power to overthrow the world?

It was a question that could not be answered for sure, so just as my skepticism was deepening day by day… The letter has arrived.

It was a letter from Jin Gung, a close friend with whom I had known for a long time.

Deciding to travel to Chohyeon after reading the letter that came like a shower was a somewhat impulsive decision for her.

The timing was also good.

Yuan Shao, who had been pushed out to the distant land of Gizhou by Dong Zhuo, who took control of the imperial palace, was thinking of raising soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo.

And for that purpose, he was interacting with the surrounding feudal lords under the water.

Of course, it was ambiguous to call Jo Maeng-deok of Chohyeon a feudal lord.

Unlike other feudal lords, he was not given the position of governor or governor.

But… Behind Jo Maeng-deok, there was the Jo clan, led by Jo Deung, the reigning queen.

Although there were many details that were not clearly revealed, it was known to everyone in the know that the wealth that the Jo family had built over several generations was comparable to that of the Won family.

So, if she makes up her mind and starts saving money… it wouldn’t be a task to raise a few thousand volunteer soldiers.

Even from the point of view of Yuan Shao, who was busy trying to attract at least one more prince with a few thousand troops, it was an attractive issue.

So, he tried to visit Chohyeon under the pretext of persuading Jojo to raise a righteous army… .

Despite all the sincere preparation, permission was granted so easily that it seemed pointless.

Thanks to you, I found out.

The task of recruiting surrounding feudal lords to form an alliance to fight Dong Zhuo is not progressing as smoothly as is known.

According to the information I picked up from among the secretaries under the lower knight Yuan Shao, the women of the Gongsun family who were currently ensconced in the north of Giju did not seem to have much interest in forming an alliance to confront Dong Zhuo.

Since they said they sent back the envoy sent by Yuan Shao without even listening to what he had to say, that must have been the case.

Anyway, he set out on his journey to Chohyeon, holding in his arms the personal letter he had received directly from Won Soo.

As I got closer to the land of Yeju where Chohyeon was located, I could feel a feeling of wonder starting to sprout from within my heart.

This was because the bandits who had been so rampant suddenly disappeared.

It was as if someone had rolled up their sleeves and stepped in to sort them out.

I know that there is no separate feudal lord near Chohyeon, so how can this be a harmony?

The novelty that started that way soon turned into astonishment.

It had no choice but to be like that.

From her perspective, it was inevitable… Because the scene she dreamed of unfolded before her eyes.

This was none other than Chohyun’s scenery.

The whole world was clearly in a state of confusion, but only here, Chohyeon, seemed to be one step away from such confusion.

The proof was that children’s laughter, which had not been heard anywhere since the chaos arrived, was everywhere.

Even the arms and legs of the children who were running around giggling like that were extremely plump.

Considering that children, unlike adults, start to dry out from their arms and legs when they are starving, this meant that they were eating well without getting hungry.

That’s not all.

The faces of the adults looking at the children running around in groups were full of hope instead of helplessness or irritation.

so… It was even more shocking.

Because I realized once again that while she was only vaguely picturing the future, someone was making it a reality.

At the same time, I started thinking.

It’s a good thing you came here.

I probably wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it in person.

The fact that a place like this exists in the world.

and… Now it was time to go meet him.

The person who made the scene she dreamed of into reality.

Is it because of the feeling of anticipation that has suddenly filled my body?

Although it is a little… My body felt hot.

To the point where I reflexively swallowed my saliva.

*****

Is it because we took enough time to prepare so that nothing was lacking?

The banquet was held in a friendly atmosphere.

The atmosphere changed completely when one of the things I touched made it to the top of the prize.

“Hmm? This is…?”

Unlike the ones that had been on the table so far, something dark and dark in color appeared before my eyes, and I couldn’t help but think it had been burned due to improper fire control. I wondered what was going on.

Sunuk’s face, which had always been smiling, shook for the first time.

The shaking that started like that became even more severe the moment the servant who served the food started cutting the meat into bite-size pieces using a palm-sized sword.

Of course it has to be that way.

Unlike the dark exterior, the interior was still bright red, giving the appearance that it was unripe.

Unlike Sunwook, who looked at what was on his plate and didn’t know what to do, Jojo and the others’ faces were calm even though they had received the same thing.

This was thanks to the fact that in preparation for the current situation, we visited each person in advance and informed them before the banquet.

“Please eat.”

“···.”

“You can enjoy whatever is contained in the bowl served together to your liking.”

Even though Jojo himself gave instructions on how to eat it, it seemed like it was burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside, so I couldn’t help it.

Taking advantage of Sunwook’s hesitation with chopsticks in his hand, he picked up one that Jojo had cut into bite-size pieces and brought it to his mouth.

The meal, which had been paused for a while, began again with Jojo at the head.

It was at that time that Sunuk, who had been frozen, began to move again.

Did they think it was rude to stay alone while everyone else was eating well?

Sunuk swallowed his saliva quietly, picked up the largest piece on his plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.

“This can’t be happening…!”

At the same time, it was right after that that the light green eyes that had disappeared behind the eyelids reappeared.

Eyes wide open as if they had been closed tightly for some time.

What it contained was a feeling of astonishment.

Of course it has to be that way.

It was the most expensive beef sold at a supermarket near my house (made in the US), and it was seasoned with MSG instead of salt and grilled to medium-rare, so the moment it touched the tongue, the umami flavor would have exploded with the juice.

So, without missing the opportunity when the other person is struggling in shock,

“How is it?”

JoJo’s freestyle rap began.

“It may look unsightly, but isn’t the taste just as good?”
