Who exactly is Bang So-un, the eldest son of the Chupungpyo country lord?

His name became a hot topic among the public.

An unknown figure who successfully married into the Hwangbo family, the most prestigious family in Gangnam.

Wherever the Golden Dragon General goes, he exerts his influence in the martial world and the court, being the greatest general in the world.

He has now secured the position of the next husband of the Golden Dragon General’s successor.

In the most sensitive information circles of Gaang and Haomun, Bang So-un was already classified as a top figure, and efforts were being made to gather information about him.

But people’s surprise was nothing compared to the shock felt by Bang So-un’s father and in-laws.

Upon hearing this astonishing news through rumors, Bang Seok-cheon and Kang So-bin firmly believed that the person in the rumors was their child’s namesake until the official visit from the Golden Dragon General.

Bang Seok-cheon boasted to all his acquaintances in the martial world, singing songs about his child’s success.

He treated so many people to drinks that it was as if he were hosting a grand feast.

Kang So-bin also shed tears of joy.

For the third-rate Chupungpyo country lord to have gained the backing of the Golden Dragon General was a significant event.

Requests for services would increase, and they would be able to hire even more skilled bodyguards than they currently had.

The idea of a son-in-law did not bother them at all.

It was natural.

It was not appropriate to marry off the successor of the Golden Dragon General to a small country lord’s daughter.

***

Originally, weddings start at the bride’s house and end at the groom’s house.

It was a natural procedure to bring the bride to live with her husband.

But this time, it was a son-in-law, so the wedding started at the groom’s house and ended at the bride’s house.

The bride and groom, dressed in red wedding attire, came to the groom’s house, bowed to the parents, and paid their respects to the ancestors.

Unfortunately, due to the wedding custom of covering the bride’s face, those who were watching the wedding could not see the famous face of Gangnam’s beauty, Hwangbo Seol.

Then, they rode a splendid carriage prepared by the Golden Dragon General and headed back to the harbor.

A grand ship was waiting for them on the Chang River.

The power and dignity of the Golden Dragon General were fully displayed at this wedding.

Each aspect of this event made people unconsciously feel awe towards the Golden Dragon General.

However, the main character of this wedding, Bang So-un, who everyone envied and sincerely blessed, was feeling miserable.

Hwangbo Seol seemed determined to remain silent as a stone, not uttering a single word.

Of course, they exchanged a few short words with a forced smile when they met his father and in-laws.

But during the ceremony, she didn’t say a word.

It was boring.

It was so boring, but he had to endure it silently, unable to talk about it and had to keep it to himself.

“Let’s wait and see, Hwangbo Seol. We’ll see when we meet again…”

Bang So-un gritted his teeth.

As a woman who had officially become his wife, she knew how she must have felt about him, but he was planning to kindly teach her some manners.

But now, he felt like he might end up asking her to be educated harshly.

Bang So-un’s mood took a turn for the better on the day they arrived at the Golden Dragon General’s residence.

Finally, tonight was the night.

A thrilling excitement ran down his spine.

His heart felt light and free, and he couldn’t wipe the smile off his face throughout the wedding.

When he bowed to his beloved father-in-law, Hwangbo Pyeong, with aching regret, he also reminded himself that sometimes innocent people get hurt in such situations, and it was unavoidable.

After all the ceremonies were over and only the awaited joint ceremony remained, Bang So-un led Jang Il to the place where the joint ceremony would take place, as planned in advance.

Among the guards and attendants, some had seen Jang Il’s face before, but amidst the numerous applicants, they couldn’t remember his face.

However, just in case, Bang So-un introduced him as her personal bodyguard to everyone except the sharp-eyed Hwang Bo-seol, whom she avoided making eye contact with.

And then, she discreetly brought Jang Il into the room, away from the gaze of those waiting around.

***

The room where the joint ceremony was to take place was truly magnificent.

The expensive ebony bed was adorned with splendid embroidered silk bedding crafted by artisans, and various exotic flowers and plants were tastefully arranged in a pleasing manner.

While it was already dark outside, multiple candles illuminated the room brightly.

A fine room indeed.

A room too good to teach manners to a wife.

Jang Il was hidden under the large ebony bed, his stature making him barely visible even when crouched inside.

Leaning against the bed, Bang So-un spoke, “You always work hard. I’m truly grateful.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Aren’t you my benefactor?”

“No, that debt is as good as repaid. Now, I owe you.”

“What do you mean?”

“So, I have a good plan for you next.”

Excitedly, Bang So-un said, “A good plan, you say? I’m curious.”

“Haha, in my opinion, the master probably won’t live longer than the rumors of the world. So, I changed the plan. No need to worry about the master’s suspicions. Instead of manipulating her behind Hwang Bo-seol, I will openly become the master. When I have control of the Golden Dragon Hall’s funds, I plan to invite the top martial artists of the martial world to this Golden Dragon Hall. With good conditions, we might be able to invite first-class or close to first-class experts. And at the moment of that contract, can you imagine if there’s a hidden ace up my sleeve? At that moment, you…”

“I don’t need to say the rest, right?”

“Oh, that’s a great idea! If my power is scattered, even first-class experts won’t be able to do anything in front of me.”

Jang Il exclaimed in admiration.

I see. So, the master aimed for Hwang Bo-seol of the Golden Dragon Hall first.

If elite martial artists are turned into faithful slaves, even greater things will be possible next.

“Yes, I plan to create your own armed forces with them. You can name them as you wish… Anyway, you will become the leader of an underground squad that doesn’t appear in the world. And that armed force will become the main force of the Golden Dragon Hall. How about it? Exciting, isn’t it? To be able to do as you please with top martial artists.”

“Wow… I can’t express this excitement in words… If my belongings are created… This anticipation is beyond words. So, I can educate them in any way I want?”

“Haha, do as you please. And honestly, I quite like your taste. It’s fine to educate my wife in your style this time. Even if you handle it a bit roughly.”

“Thank you, master. I will work hard to make the woman who has been bothering you throughout the wedding ceremony realize the duties of a wife.”

Jang Il’s voice was filled with determination.

Bang So-un chuckled softly.

She was already looking forward to which ‘wife’ would come out.

“Oh, by the way. Is it only possible to create a good child-like figure in a hypnotic state? I mean, is it possible for them to realize that they are a good child even when they are not hypnotized? Isn’t it more convenient and better to know that they are a good child even in their normal state rather than having to hypnotize them every time?”

“Possible, Your Grace. Of course, it will take a long time······. One day is not enough. It completely changes a person’s consciousness. However, I will do my best to show you the finished product until Hwangbojangju is destined to see it. I will consider it as a gratitude for giving me the position of Daechu and work hard.”

“Thank you··· Shh!”

After warning Jangil to be quiet, Bang Sooun smoothly moved to the table prepared under the bed.

Soon, the door opened with a creak, and Hwangboseol entered.

She was still dressed in a red ceremonial attire, but the cloth covering her face was removed.

Reluctantly, she walked towards Bang Sooun and sat in front of him.

“Hmph, I had to come into the room because of my father, but don’t even think about doing that with me. Until you can prove your words, you are not my husband.”

“Ah… I am touched, madam. Finally, you speak to me.”

Bang Sooun looked genuinely touched.

Hwangboseol gave him an angry look.

“Didn’t you hear me just now? I don’t consider you my husband, so I am not your wife!”

“Ah… Of course, madam’s thoughts are important. But as a husband, I have a duty to teach you manners.”

“What nonsense is this?”

Bang Sooun seemed to deliberately provoke her with his words. He was skilled at making people angry.

Hwangboseol glared at Bang Sooun with rising anger, but he just smiled casually.

“What are you talking about… It’s like this. Leave!”

Suddenly, someone sprang out from under the bed like a bear.

In that moment of eye contact, Hwangboseol realized that it was Jangil.

In that urgent situation, she quickly decided on her course of action, but Jangil was quicker.

“No one outside… eh!”

Even though he was a third-rate martial artist, he was more than capable of subduing an opponent without any martial arts skills.

In an instant, Jangil covered Hwangboseol’s mouth and brought his eyes close to her face.

“Since it’s the second time, it should be easier, Miss… I mean, Madam Hwangbo. Now, look into my eyes.”

“Ugh!”

Dark waves swirled in Jangil’s eyes.

Unable to resist that force, her eyes began to follow the dark waves again.

Despite thinking she had seen that strange phenomenon somewhere before, the thought passed by quickly.

“Follow it. Follow that illusion. Yes, you’re doing very well. Since you’ve done it once, it should be easier. Yes. Follow that feeling from before. The more you follow, the heavier your body will become, and drowsiness will wash over you.”

No… I can’t…

Contrary to her thoughts, she couldn’t muster the strength to push him away.

Her body felt limp, as if all the energy had drained out of her.

She was overcome with drowsiness, and her consciousness became hazy.

“It’s almost done. Close your eyes and fall asleep, then you can relax completely. You can be very comfortable. Just a little more… just a little more.”

Hwangboseol’s eyelids were almost completely closed.

Her eyelids continued to tremble.

Although it was a feeble resistance, her eyes were soon completely closed.

Her arms fell weakly to the ground.

“Phew, it seems the second time is less tiring after all.”

Jangil wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“I think you were greatly startled by my sudden appearance. Anyway, is it time to begin the education?”

Bang Sooun looked at Jangil with hopeful eyes.

“No, not yet. You have to go through a long process of deepening hypnosis. You’ll be bored without much to see. Just close your eyes for a moment.”

“No, I’m not bored, so give it a try.”

Despite speaking so confidently, the following actions were truly boring.

Counting up to ten, rubbing Hwang Boseol’s hands and feet for hours, and continuously whispering in her ear.

Watching that boring sight for a long time, Bang So-eun, who was tired from the long ordeal, finally blinked and fell asleep.

***

“Hmm…?”

How much time had passed exactly.

Without waking up Jang-il.

As Bang So-eun stretched and rubbed her sleepy eyes, she caught sight of Hwang Boseol’s back.

But that back was… naked.

Her waist-length, lush green hair, the skin underneath shining brightly in the candlelight, was beautiful.

Below her slender waistline, contrary to her slim figure, voluptuous curves rose up alluringly.

As much as her beauty, her figure was like a work of art.

Lost in her beauty, Jang-il’s mouth opened.

“If I command you to lick, what should you do?”

Unlike usual, he was giving orders in informal speech.

It seemed like he was executing the harsh command properly.

“If… if the master commands me to lick, the lowly concubine must… must lick the master’s noble foot… with the lowly concubine’s humble tongue, cleanly…”

A voice devoid of emotion, completely different from usual, flowed from Hwang Boseol.
