Near Mount Giyeonsan.

Two women were pressuring a man, cornering him.

The sharp and spirited looks of the two women resembled each other a lot.

It was inevitable.

They were sisters.

The eldest and youngest daughters of Sagongsega.

Sagong Hye-ryeong and Sagong Hye-mi.

“Oh my, ladies! This man has nothing to do with Madoo. He doesn’t even know the first thing about Madoo!”

The man pleaded.

Despite his unpleasant rat-like appearance, there was no sense of malice about him.

“Nonsense!”

Smack!

“Ouch!”

Sagong Hye-mi ruthlessly slapped the man’s chest.

The man slumped weakly.

“I clearly saw you sneakily peeking at us with those lecherous eyes, so where do you get off babbling nonsense!”

“T-That’s… that’s not what I… meant…”

“Is that so?”

Sagong Hye-ryeong spoke in a cold tone.

Her icy gaze could freeze anyone in their tracks.

“Y-Yes… I-I mean…”

The man kneeled again, clasping his hands together in supplication.

“Then speak the truth.”

“Sister!”

Sagong Hye-mi frowned, but Sagong Hye-ryeong raised her hand.

“Let’s hear him out first. Speak.”

“Ah, I understand… I-I just couldn’t help but be captivated by how beautiful you two ladies are… I-I couldn’t help but look…”

The man desperately tried to explain himself.

“Is that so?”

“Y-Yes! That’s the truth!”

With a relieved expression, the man nodded repeatedly.

But.

“This trash.”

Thwack!

Sagong Hye-ryeong’s sword moved.

Slice!

The sound of something being cut.

Blood sprayed high.

Thud.

His severed arms weakly writhed on the ground.

“Aaah!”

A scream of immense pain.

The man, now armless, writhed in agony.

“Haha, as expected of my sister.”

Only now did Sagong Hye-mi smile with delight.

“A worthless scum like this, who peeps at women’s bodies, is not worth keeping alive.”

Sagong Hye-ryeong sprinkled the blood from her sword on the ground as if brushing off something dirty.

“True words, sister. Should I kill him?”

“Do as you please.”

“Hehe, I’ll do just that. Keeping such a guy alive would only spread bad rumors for no reason.”

“P-Please… spare me… P-Please… spare me…”

Despite writhing in agony, the man begged for his life.

But Sagong Hye-mi’s expression was like that of a child with a new toy.

“Don’t want to? Want to die?”

“P-Please… I beg you…”

“If you beg, who will spare you?”

Swish!

Thud!

Sagong Hye-mi’s sword swiftly severed the man’s throat.

Spraying blood.

Sagong Hye-mi deliberately let the blood splatter on her.

“Hehehe, hehehehe.”

Licking the blood off her lips, she extended her tongue.

Her actions were unimaginable for a noblewoman.

Nail Cutter.

Indeed, that eerie nickname was not given without reason.

“Why bother.”

Sagong Hye-ryeong shook her head as if not understanding, flicking the corpse with disdain.

Then.

Thud.

The sound of a bird taking flight was heard.

It was a messenger pigeon.

Sagong Hye-ryeong’s expression changed.

“It’s from the main house.”

“Ugh, we haven’t even had proper fun yet.”

Sagong Hye-mi clicked her tongue.

Sagong Hye-ryeong gently placed the pigeon on her hand.

The letter stuck in its claw.

She immediately checked the letter.

And.

“Urgent…?”

Sagong Hye-ryeong’s eyes widened.

In Sagongsega’s communication, there were different grades based on importance.

Among them, the urgent mark indicated the most pressing news.

“What? Urgent?”

Sagong Hye-mi’s eyes widened as well.

It was a surprising situation even for them.

“What does it say?”

Sagong Hyemi asked urgently.

“…It seems like someone sent a creepy warning letter to the main house. A warning of an impending intrusion.”

“What? It’s not just a simple prank?”

Sagong Hyeryeong shook her head.

“No, if it were just a simple prank, Mother wouldn’t have sent such a letter herself.”

The Sagong sisters knew their mother was a very cautious person and wouldn’t send such an urgent letter lightly.

“Well, that’s true, but…”

Sagong Hyemi also acknowledged that.

She clenched her fist.

“Ugh, how dare some lunatics target our main house?”

“They must have seriously underestimated us by staying quiet.”

“Yeah, they need to see a proper example to never underestimate our main house.”

“Anyway, let’s go, little sister. We need to hurry before it’s too late.”

“Yes, sister.”

The two sisters agreed.

And they immediately started heading back to Sagongsega.

***

Sagongsega was quiet.

Outwardly, at least.

It wasn’t unusual for the three of them to be so busy, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Located in a secluded area on the outskirts of the village, where few people passed by.

***

“Are you sure, young master?”

Jangil asked with a slightly anxious expression.

He was a tyrant when dealing with women, but now he seemed like a timid fellow.

Bansooun chuckled.

“Of course, I’m sure. People don’t pay that much attention to their surroundings normally.”

Of course, if it dragged on, they would definitely be exposed.

But nothing significant would happen in just a day or two.

Even if an unexpected situation arose…

“And we have the hostess, so what’s there to worry about.”

That’s right.

Sagongsega’s hostess, Mok Unggyo.

As long as she was alive and well, there would be no problem for Sagongsega.

Her presence alone was proof that nothing would happen to Sagongsega.

“Oh, right. That’s true. As long as she’s there, we have nothing to worry about, right?”

Only then did Jangil’s expression relax.

“That’s right.”

Bansooun smiled slightly.

They were now back at the hidden base of the Golden Dragon Army.

It was all part of a perfect deception.

As long as they stayed here, no one would suspect them of any misfortune befalling Sagongsega.

Of course, that was only for daytime activities.

At night, someone might secretly head to Sagongsega.

“But what if they arrive before us?”

Jangil blinked and asked.

“That’s not a problem either.”

Bansooun answered as if there was nothing to worry about.

“After all, we wouldn’t be of any help even if we were there, right?”

“Well… that’s true, but the fact that we’re going means the Jolhwada is moving. It makes me slightly uneasy without Yeonbojital…”

Except for Yeonsurin, the rest of the Jolhwada had returned to the hidden base with them.

It was all part of a perfect disguise.

In the end, only Yeonsurin and Mok Unggyo remained at Sagongsega.

“Haha, there’s nothing to worry about. As I said, with the hostess there, we have nothing to worry about.”

Bansooun laughed.

“Right?”

“Think about it. If my mother, who trusts me more than anyone else, suddenly attacks, the daughter won’t be in danger, right?”

“Oh, I see.”

Jangil finally understood.

He hadn’t thought that far ahead.

That’s why even with overflowing abilities, he needed someone to take care of him.

Bansooun chuckled.

His brain was too focused on how to humiliate and disgrace the women even more.

“I predict that by the time we arrive tonight, they will have already finished everything.”

Bansooun predicted.

It was a prediction filled with confidence.

After all, tonight was a good date to finish things at the hidden base.

“Haha, if the young master says so, it’s almost as if it’s already done.”

Jang-il chuckled.

***

A quiet night.

The women dressed in nightclothes crossed over the walls of Sagongsega.

It was the inner courtyard.

Two of them were carrying their masters on their backs.

In an instant, they approached the main house.

The door of the main house was wide open, welcoming the uninvited guests.

Banso-un could be sure of one thing just by that.

That Yeonsurin and Mok-ungyo had finished their work cleanly.

“Stop.”

The inner courtyard stopped.

Banso-un and Jang-il stepped on the ground.

In front of them, Yeonsurin and Mok-ungyo were bowing with their foreheads pressed to the ground.

“Welcome, honored sir.”

“Welcome, master.”

The women politely greeted them.

Their attitude was so natural.

But if people had seen it, they would have been shocked to the point of their eyes popping out.

Of course, the target was the master of the house, Mok-ungyo.

It was because she, the proud master of Sagongsega, was proving with her whole body that she was not the owner of this house.

Kneeling like a slave, even pressing their foreheads to the ground, in a posture that dared not to rise.

By addressing her as a master, the ultimate title that could not even be mentioned by a slave, with polite respect.

Banso-un thoroughly enjoyed that feeling.

Receiving heavenly treatment from someone else’s master in someone else’s house was a very special experience.

Even if they knelt down in the same way, it was a feeling that could not be felt in the Golden Dragon Field.

Banso-un decided to add one more pleasure to that feeling.

“Mok-ungyo.”

“Yes, master.”

“Crawl over here and lick my shoes like a dog.”

“I obey your command, master.”

Mok-ungyo crawled, swaying her buttocks from side to side.

Suddenly, Banso-un raised her hand and stopped her.

“Stop.”

“Yes, master.”

“Why are you doing this, young master?”

Jang-il tilted his head.

“Haha, no. I just thought it would be much more special to have you do it in front of the girls since we’re already here.”

Banso-un said with a twisted smile.

“Ah, I see. Of course, young master. It would definitely be more special to do it in front of the girls.”

Jang-il chimed in.

Banso-un turned her gaze to Yeonsurin.

“Yeomae.”

“Yes, honored sir.”

“You must have caught the prey well, right?”

“Of course, honored sir.”

Yeonsurin immediately confirmed.

Banso-un’s expectations were never wrong.

Yeonsurin and Mok-ungyo had subdued the two daughters who had returned to their ancestral home.

“I will go straight there. Lead the way.”

Banso-un’s voice was filled with excitement and anticipation for what was to come.
