The fact that the emperor personally designated an auspicious day was equivalent to breaking the imperial order.

In other words, you must get married on a designated date, and anyone who interferes with this will be punished by the royal decree.

As I was thinking about returning from my meeting with the emperor, Hongryeon gently held my hand.

“Hehe. I can’t even run away anymore?”

“I had no intention of running away or hiding.”

“I’m just saying this. But as soon as possible… when?”

“If you are thinking of an auspicious day, it will be the end of next month at the latest.”

Although the voice of the Sword Saint was faint, it contained excitement. And Chaejin just continues to stare at me in silence.

“It will break through. Stop looking. Master, take care of your facial expressions too.”

“Hehe, hehehe.”

“Uhuhuhu…”

Chaejin and Geomseong laugh softly. When Hongryeon was about to say something while looking at it, Chaejin spoke quickly.

“But you keep smiling too.”

“Oh.”

okay. After the audience, the three continued to laugh. I looked at them and shook my head. It’s good to smile.

“Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look around and then head back. Isn’t it a bit weird to come all the way to the capital and then go straight back?”

The three just laughed. No matter what I say now, they will do that, so I turned my eyes to Sayoon.

“Sayun. Is there a place you want to go?”

“Uh. I don’t know much about the capital… Do you know of any places?”

“Of course you know.”

After visiting the tourist attractions and good restaurants in the capital, we entered the accommodation provided by the imperial family in the palace.

Geomseong, Hongryeon, Chaejin, and Sayun shared one room, and I stayed in a separate room. While they were taking a break, I went out with the ingredients I had brought with me.

“Where are you going?”

It was a swordsman. She looked at the box in my hand and cleared her throat lowly.

“Keuhum. greatness. Um… what about that box?”

“What do you want?”

“…perhaps. Isn’t it for me?”

Hesitantly, while looking at me with a lot of anticipation, Geomseong spoke carefully and I smiled and nodded.

“Yes.”

“I see! Oh, boo, I didn’t mean to be a burden. Maybe I should do something too…”

“It’s okay. It’s not a big burden for me either. And the most important material is obtained from the Dragon Temple, so don’t worry about it. More than that… um. Shall we go together?”

“Is that okay?”

“What wouldn’t work?”

Geomseong was happy and walked next to me.

On the way, just like what I saw in the bright moon of heaven, there were many basilica reefs and the colorful buildings had quite a lot of decorations.

As I was walking around looking at them, I noticed several military officers coming out and being scared when they saw the Sword Saint.

“…Haha. I didn’t know that what I did in the past would come back like this. If I had known that would happen, I would have hit him gently.”

No, it would have been a mess even if I had hit him gently. I looked at Geomseong, who looked a little dispirited, and then wrapped my arms around her shoulders.

“Ah.”

“It’s okay.”

“…Hehe. Do you know what? You don’t know how much power your words can give.”

Geomseong gently placed her head on my shoulder, and I headed to my destination with her.

Gyubangjeon.

As I entered the place where clothes for the royal family and nobles were made, I saw a middle-aged woman standing like in the bright moon of heaven.

“Welcome.”

“Case and Syntax It’s June and this is…”

“Are you a swordsman? I have heard about that name and know it well.”

A middle-aged woman with a slightly tired expression pointed to the box in my hand. She seemed to have realized that these were the ingredients, took the box, opened it, and smiled.

“With this material, you can make a covenant.”

“Oath? What is that?”

The woman who was trying to explain only twitched her lips, then apologized and went inside. And after a while she came out with a set of clothes.

“Oh, oh…”

It was a gorgeous costume. A deep-cut, high-leg outfit that exposes the shoulders and cleavage, complete with stockings and high-heeled boots.

It was a fundamental costume that suited this fundamental world view very well.

“This is a costume that only special women can wear on special days, and is made only for the royal family. If you don’t have the ingredients, you can’t make it. By the way, it must not have been easy to obtain these ingredients… After all, you are a Shinsanseonja.”

“It was nothing special. How long do you think it will take to produce?”

“You can make it in one day. How long do you plan to stay at the imperial palace?”

“I’m planning to leave tomorrow.”

“In that case, I will make it by morning and send it to you.”

As she greeted her politely and went inside carrying the ingredients, Geomseong couldn’t help but admire the ‘oath’ placed there.

“This… is it okay for me to wear it?”

“Isn’t it okay? It suits me well.”

As I was looking at the navy blue and white clothes that matched her dark blue hair, I saw Geomseong. hmm. It will suit you well too.

When I nodded, Geomseong wandered around and put his fingers on his clothes.

“The oath has the effect of continuously recovering internal energy when worn.”

“That’s amazing. Well, isn’t this dug too deep…”

Geomseong, who was pointing to the lower part, gulped his saliva.

But in my opinion, Hong Seong-moon’s outfit was not that easy…

She looked at me and me alternately, smiled strangely, then walked up to me and placed her hand on my chest.

“Hehe. Do you know the meaning of a man giving clothes to a woman as a gift? Did you really miss me wearing this outfit?”

“Yes.”

“Ah. eww. Well, then…”

She nodded slightly with a red face and turned around. The nape of the neck that is glimpsed through the long navy blue hair is red.

“Ugh…”

And then you end up squatting down and not knowing what to do. I patted Sword Saint’s head and then helped him up.

“Now. Then let’s go back.”

“…Phew.”

I finally went out with a true swordsman. She didn’t say anything while we walked together to the dorm.

And, by the time we got to the dorm, she seemed to have calmed down a bit and gently grabbed my sleeve.

“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Of course.”

Geomseong and I went to the garden next to the accommodation and sat on the chairs there. She looked blankly at the sky, let out a small sigh, and then opened her mouth.

“I am thinking about resigning from my position as Jangmun-in.”

“Are you okay?”

“Um…”

She nodded slightly and gave strength to the hand holding the hem of my clothes.

Tension and relief. Joy, regret, satisfaction.

Geomseong looked at the sky with eyes filled with complex emotions.

“Everyone must have known. At least I’m not a long-faced seal. exactly. I wasn’t meant to be a long-time writer. How can someone who knows nothing but fight become a man who must protect and take care of everyone?”

“But you’ve done well so far, right? All of Hong Seong-moon’s disciples respect and follow you.”

“Hehe. You always say only nice things.”

The gaze that was staring at the sky slowly turns towards me.

The navy blue eyes were shining lightly.

“But that’s enough now. It’s time to take off the clothes that don’t fit me and put on other clothes.”

“I see.”

“Thank you. Really… I can’t thank you enough.”

She slowly and gently leaned against me and spoke in a more relaxed tone.

“From now on, Hongseongmun will not be Jangmunin, but Geomseong… no. That’s not it either. Because I will treat you as Na Yerin.”

As if pampering her, she leaned closer to me and whispered in a kind tone.

“Please accept it…”

I nodded to her.

After that there was nothing more to see in the capital. All I got was a lucky charm, some gifts from the imperial family, and an ‘oath’.

But it wasn’t a bad thing. However, the gazes of the three became a little more intense than before. Still, what is it?

It’s not like they’re going to eat people.

“Ugh~! It has arrived now.”

Sayoon smiled brightly, stretched out, and looked at the box lying next to her. These were gifts she bought with the pocket money she saved for her sisters-in-law and Chae-ryeon and Yu-ra when she went to the capital.

Sayun, who was looking at it with warm eyes, turned to me and said with a bright expression.

“Are you really okay?”

Sayoon tried to buy me a gift, but I stopped him. There wasn’t anything I wanted in particular, and I knew that Sayoon had spent a lot of money on buying those gifts.

No matter how well Hong Seong-moon made money these days, his pocket money was limited.

Now that I’ve brushed it all off, Sayoon will just have to suck his fingers for the time being.

If it weren’t for me.

“I’m fine. Still, I spent all my pocket money, what should I do?”

“Okay. Aren’t you too bitter?”

Hongryeon also spoke as if she felt sorry. In fact, Geomseong or Hongryeon were going to pay for the gift. But Sayoon says he wants to buy it himself, so what can he do?

One way or another, Sword Saint and Hongryeon were very weak to Sayun.

“Hehe. It’s okay.”

“If that’s you, then yes, but…”

“I went to the Imperial Palace, climbed the quarry, and visited Gyeonghwaru Pavilion. I’m satisfied. It’s just a shame that the other sisters, Chae-ryeon, and Yu-ra couldn’t go together.”

“Ryeon, how many times has she been to the capital?”

“But you’ve never been to the imperial palace, right?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s right. Hehehe.”

It was heartwarming to see him act like that for others rather than for himself.

It wasn’t bad in the bright moon of heaven, but now Sayun’s goodness has improved considerably.

“But you shouldn’t just think about giving too much. You know?”

Hongryeon spoke seriously, perhaps worried that she might be viewing the world in too pink a light.

Of course, it’s not to the point where I can’t tell the difference, but it’s still true that I’m worried, so I agreed and Sayoon smiled brightly.

“Of course! And like you said, I am always practicing how to distinguish between friends and enemies.”

“Really?”

“Yes. You say the same thing too. Warmly to allies. To the enemy thoroughly.”

“Haha. Are you already trying to imitate June?”

Geomseong smiled leisurely, and Sayun nodded, feeling embarrassed.

“Because you are the most ideal person for me…”

“Well, June has that side. Even if you put force aside for now.”

Chaejin nodded seriously at Hongryeon’s words.

“That’s right. So, I need to increase my training time in the future.”

Our Ilta instructor is trying to come up with a training plan.

“…Please do this gently.”

“Uhuhuhuhuhu. Don’t worry. Make sure you don’t think about anything else…”

“There is no need for that.”

When Hongryeon and Chaejin were discussing how to train each other, Geomseong spoke.

“Because I will stick around from now on.”

“Huh? But to Master…”

“The time has come.”

Geomsung looked at Hongryeon and spoke calmly.

“I am now thinking of resigning from Jangmunin. And…”

Geomseong slowly took my hand and smiled full of happiness.
