“For? Did you say it was a dragon?”

The wise man asked in a puzzled voice.

“That’s right. This lady has a small talent for looking at physiognomy. But since the most magical and outstanding face I have ever seen is right in front of me, how can I say that it is not the face of a dragon?”

The female princess said with a chuckle.

In this era, physiognomy had the same status as science in modern society.

This means that rather than just watching it for fun, there was a belief that it was actually related to fate.

“I was curious about who the nobleman who paid 10,000 won in wedding rites was, but it turned out to be a young man with a dragon in his body.”

“…”

I felt like my stomach was going to explode.

I wanted to shoot him and ask if he had taken drugs.

The dragon is a piece of shit.

What kind of dragon looks like me?

Does this person know what I really want and does this on purpose to harass me?

I chose the truth to make people hate me, but they like it so much?

“Woman, I would like to say something.”

Soha raised his voice and spoke.

“Oh, what do you mean? Juri, who is close to that young man. Tell me.”

The female princess spoke with a cheerful expression.

“Yes, as you said, I am familiar with this person named Yu Gye.”

Soha spoke in a cautious tone.

“This Yugye person enjoys talking loudly and making promises, but rarely comes to fruition, so it is difficult for him to be trusted. I hope that the princess will not be angry and will listen to what I say. Yu-gye is too shallow to gain the trust of a female worker. Even the 10,000 won wedding gift is pure bluff.”

First of all, it was a good assist from Soha.

The facts are a bit spicy, but I think you can roughly understand them at this level.

“Hehe, the guy can be a bit braggadocious! Isn’t it a hundred times better than being timid and crouching?”

Did you really take drugs?

Or did I open a new hypnosis app that I didn’t even know about?

What happened to that guy?

Why do you like me so much?

“A man who spreads his dreams, even though they are vain, is more manly than all the schemers who cleverly craft their words and make up their facial expressions. Born as a man, he had big dreams and was born with a majestic spirit. These are the qualities of a dragon. Isn’t that so?”

The female princess turned her head to the magistrate and asked.

The Hyeonryeong seemed to have difficulty saying something and just pouted his lips.

“Giggles! Well, you can go back now, Yugye! I will bring you good news soon, so stay tuned! My daughter seems to like you too! I hope to get him a dustpan and a broom soon.”

It means to be welcomed as the concubine of the dustpan and broom, ‘Kichu (箕箒)’. In other words, it was a euphemism for asking to be made his wife.

After hearing what the female princess said, I bowed my head in greeting and left.

Something really isn’t working out.

I don’t know what’s going on.

Why do you like it so much when you are openly telling the truth?

*****

After the banquet was over and the guests had dispersed, the princess’s wife came out.

She ran towards the female princess at a quick pace and opened her mouth.

“Honey, you mean your daughter?”

The female princess’s wife asked in an embarrassed voice.

“You always said that there would be no better sight than this when you saw a katydid, right?”

“That’s right.”

The female princess answered.

“It’s my child, but it’s a really good look. Even if you search all over the world, there would probably be only a handful of people who have been blessed with that much heavenly luck. I guarantee it.”

The female princess said with a smile.

“Then it doesn’t make sense!”

The female princess’s wife said, furrowing her eyebrows.

“Do you mean to send a child born with such precious physiognomy to a bastard like that? When I asked Joe, he said he was a gangster who didn’t even do the right things!”

The female worker’s wife seemed very angry and asked with anger in her voice.

“Haha, is that what Joe said? That grumpy old woman only told half of the story.”

“What?”

The female princess’s wife asked.

“There’s no way that fox-like hawk-like old lady wouldn’t be able to see the physiognomy, so you probably already know. I can’t help but tell you what an absurd fate that writer Yoo Gye is.”

“An absurd fate?”

The female princess’s wife frowned.

“Yes, it is an absurd fate.”

The female princess quietly looked around.

After confirming that there was no one around, the female worker lowered her voice and spoke.

“Soon the white snake will die.”

“…!”

The princess’s wife’s complexion turned pale.

The white snake is the symbol of Baekje. White means the west, so it means the country that arose in the west, that is, the Qin Dynasty.

Her husband is now saying, ‘The Qin Dynasty will soon die!’

“Da, you… what on earth…!”

“And soon.”

However, contrary to the princess’s wife’s wishes, the princess did not stop talking.

“The son of Jeokje (赤帝) will rise up and cut down Baekje.”

“…No way you mean.”

“That’s right.”

The female princess smiled.

“The person I met today is the Red Dragon.”

“…How do you know that? How are you so sure?”

“Are you sure? What can I do with that, ma’am.”

The female princess said with a chuckle.

“There is only one thing that is certain. Soon, Jin’s world will become more chaotic than ever before, and when that time comes, that unsightly man will shake things up in a way that no one can imagine.”

The female princess said.

“I don’t know if I will win or lose, but I decided to bet on the winner.”

“You would bet your daughter on a bet like that?”

“I will risk everything, not just my daughter.”

“…”

“Yeobulwi asked his father about the business of buying and selling the world, and his father told him, ‘It is a business whose profits are indescribable.’ Because of that, Yeo Bul-wi, who jumped in, became a businessman who controlled the world. I want to try that too.”

The female princess laughed.

“A businessman who controls the world, a name that is enough for me to bet my all on.”

*****

“I’m so damn tired.”

I gritted my teeth and said to myself.

“AC, really! Damn, that sucks! Ugh, I’m losing my temper!”

I tried to relieve my anger by gulping down alcohol, but it was no use.

Rather, it only made me more angry.

In the past few days, life has become horribly boring.

Everything didn’t go as I wanted.

The attempt to avoid fate was frustrated, and instead, the effort to avoid it ended up accelerating fate.

Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy that often appears in Greek mythology?

“Ugh, really! Let’s die, let’s die! I will drink and die today!”

If you drink it and die, you won’t have to look at that annoying prick!

chin!

It was Beungwae’s hand that stopped my drink.

“What is it?”

“Stop drinking, bro.”

“A, why are you doing this too? What the hell!”

“I told you to stop drinking.”

“This guy told my brother…”

“If you don’t take it, you won’t think about countermeasures.”

I kept my mouth shut at Beongwae’s words.

That was correct.

Even if you escape with alcohol, nothing will get better.

It’s about finding a way to avoid this troublesome wedding with a little bit of wisdom.

That was what I was going to do.

I rinsed the alcohol off with water and sat up straight.

“Soha?”

“…I’m looking into whether there are any ordinances that could interfere with this female worker’s engagement.”

“Jocham, Jubal, and Noh Gwan?”

“It looks like Joo-bal and Noh-gwan are having a discussion on measures while comforting the crying Cho-cham.”

“Then what about Ha Hoo-young?”

“Young is…”

Beongwae’s answer was unfinished.

Doo-dah-dada!

“Stay here, brother!”

Ha Hoo-young came running, kicking up a strong cloud of dust.

He is the ancestor of the famous one-eyed bastards Xiahu Dun and Xia Huyeon from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He was a master of carriages and famous for his insight into people, but here, where I am, this man…

“Let’s run! I’m going for a run today! Let’s run far, far!”

Whoosh whoosh! Ha Hoo-young snorts and her eyes shine.

On top of its head stood ears that were not human.

The horse’s ears.

And the horse’s tail was waving on its butt.

That’s right, Ha Hoo-young was a beast in this world.

A horse beast known as ‘Horse Daughter’.

…Don’t ask me why I look like this. Because my bone hurts too.

“Let’s run! Let’s run! Let’s run! Brother, let’s run!”

Ha Hoo-young waved her hands and shouted.

“Where do you run? Be quiet, young child!”

Beongwae looked slightly angry and shouted.

“…No, I guess it’ll be okay?”

At that moment, an idea flashed through my head.

I clapped my hands.

“Okay, let’s run! All I have to do is go far away!”

I shouted.

“Where do you mean?”

Beongwae tilted his head and asked.

“Hamyang!”

I answered.

“I’m going to Hamyang to work as a deputy!”

Getting engaged vs. working as a sidekick

Like a real man, I chose the latter.

This is the correct answer!

“Young, let’s go!”

Like a man, I carried my daughter on her back.

“Run, hey!”

“Oooooh! Brother, I’ll run!”

Ha Hoo-young shouted and started running.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

The sound of horses’ hooves was heard.

Okay, let’s go to Hamyang!

Let’s run to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, to escape fate!
