I was relieved to be free from the life that had been constricting my body.

By the way, what kind of life makes a person unable to move his body?

What kind of martial arts is this?

…When I think about it, a guy like Hang-woo would go on a rampage even if he just entered the martial arts world.

It would be better to just abandon the assumption that this place is the same as the real Earth.

“Okay, are you ready to see the king?”

The hawk said that and laughed loudly.

Just because I was a royal descendant didn’t mean I was really a descendant of some royal family.

After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there were many cases of princes from fallen kingdoms wandering around, so when they first met a young man they did not know, they often referred to them as ‘wangson’.

“I don’t know anything. Please explain first.”

What is a line? You bitch. Also, you idiots, you got excited about something that only you know, right?

I had a guess, but I cast ignorance.

Perhaps Yeochi, who had been keeping an eye on me and Beungwae, came up with an appropriate excuse to call us.

Although the choice of line was a bit shocking.

But was it originally like this in Chohanji?

I’m not sure about that.

I’m not a traitor and I only know Chinese history superficially.

I couldn’t trust that knowledge because I got it all by browsing Wikipedia.

“Hoo- That’s right.”

The hawk grinned as if my reaction was amusing.

“I am a hawk, my name is Joe, baby. The young lady I serve liked you so she sent me. Now, isn’t this a clear explanation? But there is an order to everything. First, I need to get to know you. Show me what you have.”

Hawk, Joe. Just like the name of her mother, Mrs. Yuo, that also means Grandmother Jo.

Anyway, Joe said that and looked at my body as if scanning it.

“Me? haha! You’ve come to the right place! I’m a charlatan! Let’s come to the Daehyup that protects this Paehyeon!”

I said in an exaggerated voice, pounding my chest.

knight errant.

That’s a good thing to hear.

And it was probably a word that would be fascinating to anyone who read a lot of martial arts magazines.

An apostle of justice and protector of the people.

The last bastion to protect the precious values of people that the law cannot protect.

knight errant.

This is roughly what modern people think of as a charlatan.

But the reality was a bit different.

knight errant?

It’s good to hear.

In fact, I heard that there is a story about Hyeopgaekjeon in history books.

However, the so-called charlatans of this era were mostly shoulders.

Gangsters who make inaction their goal in life and extort money from market merchants.

In today’s terms, he was closer to a gangster.

They have force, but they are not under the control of the law, and they just punch as they please. What does that mean?

You’re a gangster.

So, the reason I called myself a charlatan was because of this.

‘I’m a gangster full of bravado. So he’s not a good groom. Just go, please.’

As if my intention had worked, the wrinkles on Joe O’s hawk deepened.

“A charlatan.”

Joe muttered.

“It’s a coincidence. The female princess is also a charlatan. Is this also the fate of heaven?”

…Fuck.

Was Yeochi’s father, Yeo Gong, a charlatan?

It came back as a blade of knowledge that I only knew superficially.

I can’t believe that a topic that was said to destroy a standing position has actually become a ploy to flatter people.

“…Actually, it was a lie. I am not a charlatan or anything. I’m just an unemployed person wandering around.”

“Huh? Why do you suddenly change your words?”

“Hehe, I’m embarrassed to call myself a charlatan in front of a real charlatan.”

It looks like the gangster who was bragging about being a gangster ends up meeting a real gangster.

I showed off my acting skills and performed method acting.

“…I see.”

thank god. This seems to have worked well. Joe looked at me with a slightly bored expression.

“That’s right!”

Soha must have sensed my intention and fiercely defended me.

“This guy really doesn’t know how to do anything! I’m not good at farming, I’m slow at calculating, and I’m not very smart. They’re all half-baked, and the only thing they know how to do is drink and be a bitch! I’m the kind of person who only likes the neighborhood gangsters because he doesn’t have any ability and only brags!”

…Is this what fact violence is like?

No, isn’t that a bit excessive, Soha?

Are you looking at me like that?

“Hmm…”

Joe’s expression became increasingly crumpled.

…Thank you, Soha. It feels a bit excessive, but I think it achieved its purpose.

“Moreover, it looks ugly! see! Is this what a person looks like! It looks like a reptile! He’s a man and walks around shaking his teeth because he looks like a dragon, but the dragon is a total mess. Is this a dragon? You snake! Right, Yubaek?”

Soha asked Brother Yubaek.

“Huh? Uh, uh… right?”

Brother Yubaek nodded with a nervous expression.

…Soha, do you have any ill feelings towards me?

I’m not a person who cries a lot, but I’m crying…

“Okay, okay.”

Joe waved his hand and signaled to stop.

His eyes were filled with disgust, as if he was looking at me like a piece of human trash.

The goal was achieved, but those eyes hurt a little.

The disdainful gaze of an old man who probably had a bit of a fling in his youth is much greater than I thought.

…I’m craving alcohol, really.

“I didn’t come here to make a schedule for today anyway, so this is enough. I think I have a general idea of what kind of person Wangson is.”

The hawk said so and handed over a letter.

“The duchess is holding a banquet in a few days. The young lady has asked the royal family to come there, so be sure to attend, my child. Because I think the seating schedule will be set at that time.”

“…Yes?”

Didn’t the line cross the water?

Why is it still going on when the hawks look at it with such disgust?

“Because it’s not my decision.”

Joe Maepa said so.

“The princess is also interested in you. Please come, baby. I want to know you more too.”

Joe Maepa said that while still looking at me with disapproving eyes.

With those words, the hawk slowly left my house.

…What should I do with this?

Should I just chew it and stay home?

Isn’t this causing regret for no reason?

AC.

“…Bounded type.”

Me pondering my troubled thoughts, and a gloomy voice calling me.

“I’ll talk in a bit.”

Soha said that with a glaring look in her eyes.

“What are you doing walking around, and why are you like this? I really need to know.”

No, but why is he like this?

The same goes for suddenly going on a rampage to kill him.

It’s the same as being angry now.

Have you lost your mind because you’ve been so stressed these days?

“Heung!”

As he looked at Soha with eyes that said he did not understand, Soha snorted and turned his head.

Then, holding an armful of bamboo pieces, he walked away grinning.

“Gyeya.”

“Yes, brother.”

“Your sin is so great.”

“…Why are you doing this to me?”

“…That’s it.”

Brother Yubaek looked at me with a pitiful look and left.

Oh, the plague.

Why are you doing this to me? What did I do?

“Er, I don’t know. For now, let’s just maintain the hikikomori tactics.”

I was planning on using the excuse of feigning illness to lock myself in my room.

A trick strategy used by many people, including Sima Zhongda.

What can they do when I say I’m sick?

With that thought in mind, I went into my room and lay down.

How flawed this extremely naive idea is. And the people with whom I am connected are not such easy people.

I didn’t know at this time.

“Seorin.”

Joe called someone quietly into the dark alley.

“Jo Seo-rin.”

Susss-

What came out of the darkness, trembling, was a girl.

Although there was obviously no sign of popularity, the girl appeared as if she had come out of thin air and bowed down in front of Jo Oh.

“Did you call me, Grandma?”

Jo Oh nodded at Jo Seo-rin’s words.

“Yes, I called.”

Joe continued.

“How do you view that royal grandson?”

“…I think it’s the same as grandma’s thoughts.”

“I told you not to guess what I think, but to say what you think.”

“…He is a boring man.”

Jo Seo-rin said.

“No ability, no spirit. A worthless man who only uses superficial tricks on such topics. That’s the man I saw. I don’t understand why the young lady is interested in a man like that.”

Hearing Jo Seo-rin’s words, Jo raised the corner of his mouth.

“Really?”

“Yes, grandma.”

“I raised you in vain.”

“…Yes?”

Jo Seo-rin was embarrassed.

“That royal grandson is a dragon.”

“…”

Jo Seo-rin looked like she couldn’t understand Jo Oh’s remarks.

A dragon?

“Child of the Red Dragon. It is a sleeping dragon that cannot be recognized because it is crouching now, but once it raises its huge body, it will stain the heavens and earth with blood and transform the world. A man whose vessel is so large that he dare not know its depth.”

Jo Seo-rin was taken aback by Jo Oh’s words.

I wondered if what Jo Oh was criticizing was the unsightly man I had just seen.

I also thought that maybe I was misunderstanding something.

However, Jo clicked his tongue and corrected Jo Seo-rin’s misunderstanding.

“Your opinion of the man is correct. I saw it in that man.”

“But the look in the grandmother’s eyes…”

“The dragon wants to crouch down, so I adjusted the rhythm to not irritate it.”

Joe snorted and said.

“Quietly watch over that royal son, Seorin.”

“…”

“and.”

The next words that came out of Zhao Wu’s mouth were a violent command that Zhao Xilin could not even imagine.

“Embrace that man’s seed.”

Joe ordered.

“Plant the dragon’s child in your belly.”
