In a way, it was my first personal relationship that failed.

Hye-ryeong’s attitude had no choice but to become more cautious.

“Sister’s residence. Are you going out today?”

“You hated me leaving.”

“But that didn’t mean you had to stay locked up for a few days.

Did things not go well with Lalatina last time?

From what our sources know, there is most likely no problem… ”

“It’s not like that.

Just leave it alone.”

From always facing those who approached him, he turned his back on those who reached out for the first time.

Like a child who was startled when he touched a flame that seemed warm and cozy, only to be burned without realizing it.

Hye-ryeong was curled up under the blanket, tightly clutching the hairpin she had received as a gift.

But being a realist, she soon pulled the blanket aside and slowly stood up.

“Dog cow. I’m going out so get ready.”

“You thought well, sister.

Then, the clothes I picked out last time… ”

“No. Bring out the happiness of cancer.”

Maybe it was because, even though he had served the owner for a long time, there were times when he was completely unaware of his thoughts.

The owner, who was like a frozen iron plate without warmth, began to think that one day, a spring day would come when the chill would melt away.

She suddenly went out and came back, and when she came back, she was lethargic as if she had been sick for several days. What was she thinking this time?

Gyeon Sa-woo seemed to pause for a moment at Hye-ryeong’s sudden request for happiness again, but then he bowed his head and left the room.

After putting her worries behind her and quickly changing her clothes, Hye-ryeong went out into the street and walked quietly into the dark alley.

‘I need to check.’

Climbing walls, running like the wind, jumping over roofs.

The place she arrived at, moving like a shadow, was a building that Hye-ryeong only knew the location of and had never dared to visit.

When she arrived at her destination, she was standing next to the door and staring blankly at the handle.

Hye-ryeong, who was startled by the sound of footsteps coming from inside, was hiding again in a nearby alley with shaky steps.

“Master. Are you going out?”

“I’m planning to take a walk and then come back.

You don’t have to clean your room today.”

Slightly different from Carla, he rents a small building instead of a dormitory and uses it as a workshop.

Hye-ryeong stuck her head out to look at him as he was leaving the building, talking to the old lady who was managing the building.

“Then I will do it.

Are you having a good time?”

Antonio leaves the house with a slightly bitter smile.

Hye-ryeong, who heard his familiar voice, immediately began to quietly follow him from the alley while hiding herself.

“Master Antonio? Where are you going?”

“I’m not going anywhere in particular.

Did you sell a lot today?”

“Seeing you at the end of business, I guess you will have good luck tomorrow?

Since you often show your face, my luck has improved. Hot hot!!”

“I am. Now that you say that, I can’t help but buy it.

Are you feeling especially miserable today? How much does one cost? ”

“Even if I can’t give you something for free, I have to give it to you at a low price.

Please give me five dong.”

“How long will it take you to make money doing business like that?

Don’t keep refusing, just accept it.”

“Hello, Brother Antonio!!”

“The alchemists of the future are well-mannered.

Did you study hard today?”

“I studied with the book you gave me!!

Oxidation reaction of metal… I learned that!!”

“That’s a pretty fun part, too.

Different substances meet, stabilize each other, and become harmonious.

Then, next time, let’s prepare at least one or two oxidation catalysts as teaching materials.”

“Wow!!”

Surprisingly, Hye-ryeong, who had been hiding and watching him as she saw him greeting each other brightly while running into merchants and residents of the surrounding villages, couldn’t help but feel her shoulders drooping.

What would a man who can maintain such excellent relationships with people who have no special relationship with him think when he sees himself unable to do as he pleases with even the few he can barely call friends?

And by now, Carla’s words would have reached Antonio’s ears in many ways.

Carla would probably say bad things about her, and Antonio also seemed to be looking at his neurotoxic killing with a shocked expression.

Will Antonio be able to look at himself the way he used to, as he has a hateful attitude toward his beloved younger sister, Carla, and has openly expressed their differences to each other?

Like when sharing food together at a restaurant with a nice atmosphere.

Like when we pick out each other’s accessories and try them on, and somehow we end up laughing.

And, at the moment of parting, we feel somewhat regretful and look back at each other, then make eye contact and then turn our heads again in surprise.

If you think he’ll never look at you like that again…

“Sister, are you coming in?

Why are you standing there so awkwardly? ”

When he came to his senses, he had already left the scene as if running away, and all he could see was himself returning to the mansion.

“Death penalty for dog animals. What are you staring at?

Since your sister-in-law has returned, please prepare some warm bath water.”

“Uh… Uh… I understand.”

Jik Yeo-hwa, who said a simple word to Gyeon Sa-woo, who was looking at Hye-ryeong standing there with a blank expression, was leading Hye-ryeong into the mansion.

It was only when Hye-ryeong was led by Jik Yeo-hwa’s hand to take off her night clothes and soaked herself head-to-head in a warm bathtub that she could feel it.

My face, which should have been hot because of the bath water, and the slightly reddened area around my eyes, were finally cooling down due to the bath water.

After the silent bath, thanks to Jik Yeo-hwa who pushed her into the room without asking anything, Hye-ryeong fell down on the bed in her nightgown.

Just like it was this morning, yesterday, and the day before yesterday.

She curled up in a comfortable position and seemed to be lost in thought for a while, then she grabbed the pillow and pulled it down, hugging it tightly in her arms.

‘I am… It’s Dang Hye-ryeong… … ‘

She was unable to take her face away from the pillowcase even though it felt like it was getting a little damp, and soon she slowly let go of the pillow and returned it to its original state, lying straight on the bed.

“If you do it, do it… If you want to achieve it, you just have to achieve it… ”

As if she felt a little relieved after pouring out her emotions, she slowly closed her eyes with a slightly relaxed face, and her self-talk was scattered in the quiet room.

“It doesn’t matter what stands in the way.

If it falls apart, you can build it back up again in your own way.

Because that is the virtue of Tangmun.”

– – – – – – –

From the next day, her journey began.

One day, the girl suddenly came back crying, and every day she went out in night clothes and came back late at night.

“No, buy straight shoes… !!

Then you can say something…

100 million!! ah… Okay, so stop talking about the sides… !!”

Of course, the cow was loaded with “A grown girl cannot secretly sneak away at night”.

Thanks to Jik Yeo-hwa, who poked his side every time and gave him notice, Hye-ryeong’s deviations seemed to be quietly overlooked.

If you took it once and took it twice, now you just have to take it three times and take it four times.

However, Hye-ryeong, who had no intention of finishing even if she had to do it a hundred times, no longer cared about Carl or anything else, and only ran toward her own goal.

‘Once you get your own heart, it’s over.

‘Just fluttering around.’

I definitely failed, but I only found one method that didn’t work.

Hyeryeong continued to follow Antonio and began to investigate him.

If you ask me if I just don’t have the courage to come forward, just ask that question.

Until the dungeon incident occurred, she was getting to know Antonio through countless shadowing and background investigations.

As if there was no one else who had this much confidence in what she was trying to do, Hye-ryeong analyzed the information that was accumulating every day, but sometimes she found out things she did not want to know.

“The nobleman’s fan club… There are so many sluts doing what they are doing… ?

I know he is a precious person… No…

My brother… i love you… ? this… These bitches!?

Who are you eyeing, cheeky?”

In fact, he knows everything from Antonio’s favorite food to his habits, hobbies, and way of thinking.

Although it was ironic that he was the number one stalker.

Hye-ryeong, perhaps subconsciously aware that she was not doing well, treated the arrogant bitches of the fan club as if she were giving them laxatives rather than poison.

She was smiling happily like a mother as she observed Antonio, who soon left the girls and was alone.

“Ah… Ah… !! That… The man’s muscles… ♡

Umm… He wears a towel underneath… … ”

Sometimes, I would see Antonio coming out of the bath outside the window, and I would try to cool his red face, regretting having to cover him with a towel underneath.

Anyway, Hye-ryeong, who was also love, was getting to know Antonio more deeply every day, and falling more and more in love with him as time passed.

But there was something she couldn’t figure out.

‘Does the Gyeonsau priest have any taste in women?’

‘Hmm… Ever since I came to Groden, I’ve always looked so pretty with short hair.

If I were to choose a preference, it would be a tall woman with round eyes.’

‘Isn’t it completely the opposite of direct and private painting?’

Now that Hye-ryeong is openly giving love advice, perhaps the students around her are starting to notice.

Gyeon Sa-woo, who was talking more naturally than before, was answering her words with a grin and an expression that was pondering something.

‘Until now, my ideal type was Jigyeohwa Samae.

And this is something that my tastes have changed since coming to Groden.

Certainly, the beauties of the West are different in many ways.

that… Development or something… In many ways… Hehehehe!!

anyway!! When you find a girl you like, tastes and everything else become irrelevant.

Taste is certainly important, but it is only important when meeting for the first time.

Whatever the process was, I ended up liking it.

After that, what good is your ideal type?’

At some point, I saw Ji Yeo-hwa smiling brightly behind Gyeon Sa-woo, who started talking strangely and sweating profusely.

Hyeryeong was listening and thinking about what he said.

‘Yeohwa… The eyes are subtle… ?’

Anyway, from that day on, Gyeonsau, who had been constantly crying from across the room, said yes, but he had absolutely no idea about Antonio’s taste in women, which was important in the end.

‘They usually prefer people from their hometown…

Then I… … ‘

Hye-ryeong looked at the mirror, suddenly remembering the calmly decorated brown-haired Antonio, and was looking at her own reflection in the mirror.

The hair was extremely black, as if the ink had just fallen off.

Unlike Antonio’s bright brown eyes, he has deep black eyes that give you a feeling of not knowing what he’s thinking inside.

And when you think about the shapes of the faces that are clearly and exotically opposed to each other, you can’t help but chew your lips without realizing it.

“Warmhausen women have high noses…

Should I raise my nose a little higher too? ?

Make your eyes a little longer, your double eyelids and eyebrows darker…

And when you bleach and dye your hair, it’s a little… … ”

The great power of love makes us forget for a moment even the Chaoxing tradition that strictly prohibits touching the finished body.

How can you make your partner like you?

As a companion who looks after you and will be with you for the rest of your life, will you be able to keep him satisfied without getting tired of it?

However, despite so many concerns, it may have been fortunate that it was ultimately impossible to put it into action.

If you do something that goes against tradition and become out of the family’s eyes, your value will be greatly reduced.

Even as she was worrying and worrying again, time continued to pass by.

Of course, the time between her first realization of love and the continuation of it could not be said to have been long, but she had gone through invaluable experiences in cultured and superficial human relationships.

Now, perhaps because she had picked up quite a few things, various changes were beginning to occur in her way of thinking.

‘that’s right. I said that appearance isn’t the only thing that’s important.

A person with a warm heart can be loved… ‘

As I watch her look down at her soft breasts and put her hands through the fabric of her clothes, I wonder if she may have wasted time.

Still, I wonder if we can even get a feel for something similar.

“That’s right. Have you heard a lot that I’m nice?

So does your father, that’s right!!

My mother, whom I haven’t seen since she was born, must have felt the same way!!

Where else can you find a woman like this?”

In fact, the problem was that they weren’t even similar.

This time, she wanted to delve into the theory of the mind, not the theory of the body.

As a chaste and gentle woman who is one of the ideal types of men, her plan was to appear in front of Antonio and surprise him.

Immediately after I made up my mind, it was broken from Antonio’s words, which sounded like I was meeting a close friend on an outing one day.

‘I didn’t say anything that great.

Just be confident, proud, and be nice to your family.

A woman like that is popular wherever she goes… … ‘

I wish I had thought about this a little more deeply.

At least for Hye-ryeong, Antonio’s comment only made her feel that her actions of hiding behind the scenes and secretly spying on the other person were pointless.

Moreover, right after that, she was gritting her teeth as she saw Antonio, a member of the Warmhausen envoys, leading the envoys to the Changgwan, where they had stopped by for entertainment.

“Wait… Floraz… here?

It’s said to be a competitor to LaLatina or something, right?”

When I heard a name that I had once heard in passing, I guess I had a bad feeling about something bad.

No, maybe that’s just an excuse.

In order to prevent Antonio from doing what he was going to do in the future, he might have needed a plausible excuse.

With that premonition, Hye-ryeong found herself gradually becoming restless as she watched the envoys being led to the room one by one and Antonio and Ludwig remaining until the end.

‘Please please please please please please

If you come to me, I can do something bolder than those bitches.

My body, a masterpiece of Tangmun, is much better than those cheap ones… !!’

Will the sparrow pass by the mill?

In the first place, the act of a man going to a brothel itself is not strange according to conventional wisdom.

No matter how much of a gentleman he was, Hye-ryeong did not expect him, a man, to go to Changgwan and do nothing.

A pretty woman who seemed to be in a good position in the window approached me as if naturally inviting me, and I saw Antonio holding her wrist and walking briskly inside.

In the end, Hye-ryeong escaped from her hiding place with her eyes rolled back, and quickly climbed over Floraz’s wall.

‘They say they like confident women… I wish I knew it would be like this.

I should have tried to seduce him with my body before he was taken away… !!’

And without hesitation, Hye-ryeong broke the window as if possessed and rolled into the room where the two were. As a result, Hye-ryeong ended up in this situation today.

“A stranger who appears to be an agent from Chaoxing…

The Reaper’s accommodation… Breaking into… … ?

Is this weirdo your sister-in-law?”

“……”

In response to the question of Gyeon Sa-woo, who was reading the newspaper while holding it, Hye-ryeong remained silent, turning her head away.

“They say there was an executive of the Reaper Corps in the room right next door.

It appears that they entered the wrong room and broke into the room of an assistant member of the Shinigami Corps…

They say they are conducting an investigation, including what they tried to do to the Shinigami executives…

If you do this wrong, it could lead to a huge diplomatic dispute, sister.”

It wasn’t that Hyeryeong didn’t understand what he was saying.

After all, they had broken into a facility used by important foreign guests.

And that too, using Chaoxing’s unique night clothes and items.

“Saw death penalty. wait a minute. It’s just as the executioner said, lady.

Maybe you want to, but if not, just say no.

It’s just that the party may end up at the center of a diplomatic dispute, so I’m sure… ”

When the calm Jik Yeo-hwa was even told to use the title ‘lady’, which she did not use unless she was quite embarrassed, Hye-ryeong seemed to have no choice but to admit the whole truth.

“That’s right, it’s me… ”

Thanks to the night happiness, Hye-ryeong’s identity may not be directly discovered, but it goes without saying that if something goes wrong, the conflict between the three kingdoms could flare up.

If he kept his mouth shut like this, his own secrets might not be revealed, but on the contrary, Cao Xing’s authority would be undermined as he would be criticized without knowing anything.

Then, of course, the empire would launch an investigation to catch the culprit behind the loss of authority and hold him accountable, and if they went deeper, it would be revealed that the items he used were those of the Tang Dynasty.

“Miss… … How could you do such a thing… ”

And at this point, the image of the party family is that of a family that specializes in assassination and espionage.

In other words, it was a position in which the authority of the party was bound to be undermined in any direction, raising suspicions that the party had at least attempted to assassinate a person from another country or steal top secret information.

As Hye-ryeong found herself in the position of having trampled on her family’s pride, there was nothing she could do other than sigh a little at the increasingly complicated situation.

“Rather… If you embroider… …

Then, there is a spark at the gate… ”

“That’s not possible. Jang Moon-in and other seniors wouldn’t want that either.

He’ll probably use another informant currently working in Groden as a discard.

So, you have nothing to worry about. but… … ”

Hye-ryeong, who began to feel a little anxious at Jik Yeo-hwa’s voice slurred at the end of her words, slowly raised her head from the bed she was sitting on and began to look at her.

Jik Yeo-hwa, who was looking down at her from the bedside, was gently putting her hand on Hye-ryeong’s shoulder with a bitter expression.

“You must prepare to leave as soon as possible, lady.”

“left… Dany… … ?”

“If additional problems arise, the lady’s personal safety must be protected.

so… We have to go back to the main gate.

This is something that was instructed by Jang Mun-in before departure… ”

Hye-ryeong’s pupils were shaking violently at the shocking statement that came out of her mouth.
