“Hmm, I guess my eyes weren’t wrong.”

The female princess smiled and said with a satisfied expression.

“How do you feel, honey? The child you scolded at first for being unsightly is now a loser whose reputation no one can deny. They say he’s called a loser!”

When the female princess harassed his wife, the wife smiled embarrassedly and hit the female princess’s arm.

“This person is so… mischievous.”

The female worker’s wife covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

“Honey. How do you feel? Are you feeling good?”

The female worker’s wife smiled warmly and stroked the girl’s face.

“I guess you value physiognomy, dear. The person who will become Jiabi is the ruler of Paehyeon. Hoho!”

The female princess’s wife smiled happily and continued speaking.

“Although the marriage was postponed due to various unfavorable circumstances, that is over now. Now that he doesn’t have to go anywhere, let’s set a wedding date.”

Yechi, who had been silently listening to her parents, raised her head.

“…Huh? mother. What do you mean by that? There’s nowhere to go?”

“Oh, didn’t you know?”

The female princess’s wife laughed ‘huhu’.

“Yugye, that person is looking for the woman who saved his life during difficult times. He is looking for the person who saved him from assassination when he was a fugitive. Now that the urgent stabilization of Pahyeon has been successfully completed, I will repay the favor.”

The female worker’s wife chuckled as she saw the girl’s expression slightly distorted.

“Ugh, don’t worry. Are you embarrassed because I’m a woman? Anyway, we have a pre-existing agreement, so why are you trying to turn a blind eye? The reason Yu Seobang is looking for someone now is to repay a favor. It’s good to have a caring father.”

However, Yechi’s expression did not brighten at all.

“That’s not it, Mom.”

Yeochi sighed deeply.

“I am worried that the West has collapsed here.”

The female worker’s wife was taken aback by Yeochi’s words.

“Oh my? He… why does he say that?”

The female worker’s wife crushed the katydid.

“A wife’s happiness lies in following her father’s wishes? If you want to remain a loser, you have to follow that!”

“Umm…”

Yeochi frowned.

“Mother, the person who will be my father-in-law is not a great person who will remain a loser.”

Yeochi continued speaking.

“He needs to go up a little more, a little higher. Don’t just settle here.”

“Ha, indeed! This guy!”

The female princess’s wife was embarrassed by her daughter’s greed.

Although it is said that it is every wife’s dream to want her husband to succeed, there are degrees of that.

Desire without purpose will soon lead to destruction.

The princess’s wife knew this and was worried about her greedy daughter.

“Honey! Let’s talk to our katydid. I can’t tell you how absurd what this kid is saying is.”

The female princess’s wife asked the female princess for a favor.

The female princess glanced at his wife and then looked at the female fish.

“Yeochiya.”

The female princess opened her mouth.

“How far do you think that child can rise?”

Yeochi smiled at her father’s words.

“Above all people.”

The princess’s wife’s face turned pale.

Although the Jin Empire was shaken by rebellions, the emperor’s authority was still strong.

It is not a position so casual that it is mentioned so easily.

“Is that so.”

The female princess said.

“Me too.”

His wife frowned at the woman’s words.

“Honey!”

“Mother.”

Yeochi firmly interrupted her mother.

“Our Yeo family will be even more extraordinary.”

Yechi continued speaking.

Power greater than “. More domination. More power. That’s what I hope for.”

“…a merchant who deals with the empire.”

“Yes.”

To fulfill my father’s will, and to make my dreams come true.

said the katydid.

“I need to send a gift to my father.”

The female princess nodded.

His wife thought that the air in the room had somehow become lower.

She thought this while trying to deny that she was feeling fear from her father and the daughter she gave birth to.

*****

betrothal.

Is there any engagement ceremony that doesn’t make your heart beat like this?

I sat at the head of the table and groaned, clenching my chin.

“Ryan, do you really have to do this? Can’t you just not do it?”

When I said that to Zhang Liang, he clicked his tongue.

“Tsk tsk! How can you be so childlike? What Paehyeon needs now is stability! For that purpose, a battle was fought to break the momentum of potential threatening forces.”

“That’s true, but…”

I said that while moaning.

“And no matter what anyone says, Yeo Gong is the richest person in Pung-eup, Pai County! Moreover, the officials who ran away when the governor was murdered are also being taken care of.”

Sigh!

Zhang Liang spread his fan and said.

“In other words, this is an act of securing our military’s finances and at the same time sending a signal of reconciliation to Jin’s officials. No matter how strong the army is, in the end, it cannot survive without food. And the person who provides the food is not the farmer, but the administrator! For the sustainable operation of our military, management inclusion is essential!”

I could only nod my head at Zhang Liang’s explanation.

okay.

It may sound like crap, but I have nothing to say against it, so I have no choice but to follow it.

Well, wasn’t it when the emperor of breasts became king that katydid began to really taste good?

…Of course, if I remember correctly.

There won’t be a big problem if you get married right now.

Yes, it will.

In fact, isn’t it much different from the missing historical facts I knew?

If I just be careful about my behavior here, nothing bad will happen.

Well, just by looking at the appearance of the katydid, she is a beauty.

Since you have a good body, there is no reason to refuse.

“Ah, is the search for the person I asked for going well?”

I changed the subject.

I was going to put off looking for Jo Seo-rin for a while.

Even if you repay the favor, the situation will stabilize and it will be better to repay the favor.

However, thanks to Beongwae’s hard work, Bangyeo and Horeung were quickly settled, and my influence was sufficiently consolidated.

And that in a short period of time, less than a year.

In less than eight months, I became the loser of this area.

So now all that’s left is to repay the favor.

If a person does not know grace, how is he any different from an animal?

When he delivered his farewell message to me, the circumstances were not favorable, so I sent it to him, but now that he has reached a high position, I have to pay it forward for saving my life.

“Not yet.”

Zhang Liang said.

“The gatekeepers say they have never seen such a woman go out of Pungeup, so it is certain that she is inside the castle… but strangely, she was not found.”

Zhang Liang must have shown anxiety on my face as he hurriedly added.

“But don’t worry! I am willing to put my honor on the line to find that woman! Thanks to that woman, I also saved my life! If I do not return the favor, my proud family name will cry!”

I was a little relieved by Zhang Liang’s loud words.

Yes, that’s clear, so why worry?

You will be able to find enough.

Anyway.

“Yeochi has arrived!”

A civil servant came running and reported this.

“Um, yeah.”

It’s time to work.

No matter what, I need to complete this engagement before I can plan my next move.

I got up and got ready to meet my fiancee.

The palanquin with the katydid riding on it came in with the sweet sound of music.

Every time the palanquin, beautifully decorated with red silk, moved, a dizzying scent of flowers spread.

“Hmm.”

I crossed my arms and looked at the palanquin.

The palanquin was heavily draped with silk, as if the female worker had spent a lot of money on it.

So much so that you can’t see inside.

So, I had no choice but to stand blankly without even seeing my fiancee’s face.

“Keuung… Kwaung…”

For some reason, Ha Hoo-young was whining like a puppy that wanted to poop.

“It’s okay, I’m engaged. engagement. It can change at any time.”

Beonkwae was comforting Ha Hoo-yeong by patting her.

I guess they don’t want to get involved with this strange-looking woman who is an elder in the neighborhood they follow.

“Now, let’s go to Hanmo, who is officiating at this glorious occasion! This glorious place is governed by the gods of heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars! From now on, we will perform this sacred ritual!”

The officiant rewrote the pipe and shouted loudly.

“Defeat, Lord Yugye! Do you hereby promise to enter into a sacred engagement?”

“Yes.”

I answered briefly.

The officiant nodded with satisfaction and opened his mouth one after another.

“Now then, the female princess’s daughter, katydid! Do you agree to promise a sacred engagement here?”

“…”

There was no answer back.

“What is it?”

“Something strange?”

The excitement spread among the people who came to celebrate the engagement ceremony.

“Katydid?”

The officiant blinked in confusion and approached the palanquin.

“Why is the answer… Ugh!”

The person who looked inside the kiln was scared and fell asleep.

“Ugh! Aaaah!”

The man screamed like a man who had lost his mind and crawled away.

“…”

Something is strange.

Something was going wrong.

I tried to calm my trembling heart and approached the palanquin.

Then, he carefully picked up the silk hanging from the palanquin.

“…”

It was Jo Seo-rin who was there.

Skin as pale as a corpse.

Empty eyes.

And the cruel wounds carved all over his body.

Her body, abused to the point of nausea, was enough to evoke fear.

And the skinny baby in her arms.

‘The hell… the hell… Seorin… what is this…!’

I suppressed a moan and lifted the piece of bamboo placed in front of Jo Seo-rin.

There was a sentence written there in eerily beautiful handwriting.

“…katyfish…!”

Anger stirred.

My blood boiled like crazy.

This bitch…

I will definitely tear it to pieces with my own hands and kill it.

I swore so.
