As the group returned to the dorm, I thought the day would end like this, but just as I was about to go to sleep, Yu-kyung called.

I thought it was a high level of harassment following the daytime memory-squeezing sentence, so I went to court repeating that I was dead.

“How on earth do you plan to get married to Yuya?”

Contrary to expectations, it was a really important business.

“Hyeok Kirin, who is known in the martial arts world, is a man, so marriage itself is impossible, and he probably didn’t come here just to tell nonsense that status doesn’t matter as long as there is love. So what did you have in mind when you came here?”

Yu-gyeong’s face as she asked me a question was full of the majesty of an emperor, without a hint of mischief.

The answer I gave. Or Yu-kyung, who exudes a strong will to listen to anything, even if there is no answer. Looking at Yu-kyung like that, I thought about the answer I had given.

Will the emperor be able to accept the answer I gave and the challenge I am about to take?

That thought occurred to me, but I couldn’t let it go.

In order to carry out the plan that occurred to me, the power and permission of Emperor Yugyeong were essential.

That’s why I decided to show it to Yu-kyung.

My sincerity!

“Peha. Soin came to the imperial palace to marry Princess Yuya. For quite some time from Agyang to here, I have been thinking about only one thing: how I could hold a wedding with Princess Yuya.”

“But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a solution. Princess Yuya becoming a cross-dressing woman named Hyeok Kirin and joining the fortune-telling group was not something a princess should have done.”

Hyuk Kirin’s expression became sad and Yu Kyeong bit her lip, but this was reality.

“What will happen if the princess’s secret spreads? Princess Yuya will be criticized for doing something bizarre that she should not have done as a princess representing the imperial family, and even though she is a Taoist, she will be criticized for breaking the unwritten rule of inviolability of government affairs for the sake of material success. Well, I, who roamed the martial arts world with such a princess, might also be criticized for being crazy.”

So, I thought and thought about how I could solve this unfortunate situation.

Suddenly this thought occurred to me.

“By the way. It made me wonder why Princess Yuya had to be treated so harshly. To put it bluntly, yes? What did Princess Yuya do wrong? For the sake of the order of the empire, I sacrificed myself and committed myself to martial arts! Ever since the cross-dressing woman became Hyeok-ki-rin, she has carefully looked after the disciples of her sect and practiced helping people with the heart of a thief. and! From then on, I became a martial arts leader and burned my own body to bring peace to the world! No, is that so?”

“That’s right.”

Yu-kyung is embarrassed when she sees me suddenly making a sudden move. When I saw Yu-kyung like that, I got angry.

“No, Your Majesty! Why do you speak so lukewarmly! Watch Princess Yuya now! Daehyeop, a cute and kind Hyeokgilin who naturally invites pats on the top of his head and stroking his cheeks, is being treated unfairly!”

“…What are you usually doing to my younger brother?”

I became even more angry because the emperor was in a strange place.

“Does it matter now! Princess Yuya, who can be loved by everyone, is in a position to receive unfair criticism from the world!”

Yukyung was taken aback for a moment when she received my burning gaze…but then nodded.

“You are right. Is there any other child in the world as beautiful and cute as Yuya?”

“…Brother?!”

Isn’t Yu-kyung the best in the world in terms of her love for her younger brother? How could such a Yu-kyung not be influenced by my enthusiastic praise of Hyeok-ki-rin?

“Yuya has been kind and cute since he was young! That goodness and warmth that is still shining today is something that anyone can like and make everyone smile…! Why can’t he shake off his charm to everyone, so he disguises himself as a man and surrounds Taeyang Geon…! Ugh…!”

Yu-kyung even has tears in her eyes, as if the sadness that has been building up deep in her heart for a long time is welling up.

“That’s right! What a pity!”

“It’s really like that! It’s just a pity that my immorality couldn’t protect Yuya’s cuteness!”

Yoo-kyung, who has no choice but to shed her anger!

And Sima Gyeong-hwi, who was looking at Yu-gyeong as if looking at a distant mountain, and Hyeok-ki-rin, who was looking at Yu-gyeong like she wanted to die at any moment, caught my eye, but what I need to focus on now is the inner anger I felt and Yu-gyeong who would sympathize with my inner anger. Because of this, he spoke even more passionately.

“This is not something that should end with feeling sorry! certainly! This is something that must be corrected!”

“Yes! You are right!”

“As expected, Your Majesty understands! A world where Princess Wooya’s good deeds are recognized! The world smiles at Princess Wooya’s personality and cuteness! Isn’t this the right world!”

“Yes! That’s right!”

done.

With the current enthusiasm, I can definitely persuade Yu-kyung!

I was so confident that I shouted out loud.

“The current world is wrong!”

“…huh?”

“In that case, we need to change it and overthrow it!”

Yu-kyung’s mouth, who had been completely influenced by my impassioned words just a moment ago, dropped open.

“If Princess Yuya’s behavior is something that deserves to be pointed out when compared to the world’s common sense! Wouldn’t it be okay to change it that way?”

Ho Cheon-an opened with the words, and began spewing out his thoughts and plans one after another.

Emperor Yujing thought as he listened to the thoughts and plans.

‘I thought this guy was a weirdo.’

Yu-kyung knew from several experiences that Ho Cheon-an was an unusual person.

What kind of person is Ho Cheon-an?

Wasn’t he truly the best gambler in the world, single-handedly destroying Luoyang’s elite gamblers in a game created by his classmate?

However, although he had such gambling skills, he only taught tricks such as sugar and hiding to Zen masters in the fortune-telling school, and had no interest in making a fortune through gambling.

The same thing happened when I was an external instructor at the Geumuiui Committee.

In fact, Yu-kyung planned to keep Ho Cheon-an in the position of Geumui’s external instructor for quite some time. There is no proof as certain as time, so if you keep him as an instructor for trainees who need to be sent back for a year or two, rumors will naturally dissipate.

He must have gained something from the royal palace, and rather than a ronin living under the sword of the political faction, he became a full-time military officer who was paid and treated well, and devoted himself to training. By the time he left, the intention was to give Ho Cheon-an, who had no associates, a title as a former military officer.

Since he was a smart person, I thought he would understand everything on his own and hold his breath, but he suddenly showed off a training method that I had never heard of before, and was instantly dismissed from his position as a training instructor at the Geumuiuiui and left Luoyang in an instant.

A person who has absolutely no clue!

Therefore, Yu-gyeong could only regard Ho Cheon-an as a gin.

But now Yu-kyung had no choice but to admit that her judgment about Ho Cheon-an was wrong again.

‘This guy wasn’t a freak… he was a madman.’

For the sake of marriage… I will wage war against the world.

When all the secrets surrounding Yuya’s identity are revealed, I will change it to receive applause instead of pointing fingers.

Even thinking about it again, it was shocking and stuffy, so Yu-kyung couldn’t help but burst into laughter. It was a truly absurd situation, but what was even more absurd was that this was a persuasive plan.

“I admit that there is truth in what you say. But I can’t shake my anxiety. If something fails, it is the imperial family that will suffer the most, and there is no telling how far the backlash will extend.”

In the end, if the project fails, it will be a huge blow to the public sentiment as the imperial family will inevitably be accused of deceiving the people for the sake of the princess.

That’s why Yu-kyung looked into Ho Cheon-an’s eyes and asked.

“So, will you give me confidence?”

“Peha. Do you remember the small talk we had when we visited the imperial family before? After visiting Cheonsangru, His Majesty asked how he came to have such gambling skills.”

“Yes. It was like that.”

Yu-kyung answered with a bitter smile. How can we forget the events related to that crushing defeat?

“The memories of that time are still vivid. You said that while living as a Sichuan ronin, you were blocked from martial arts and began to learn gambling.”

“Yes. Of course I said that. If I were to add further, I would say that I started gambling two years after I started my life as a ronin.”

“I see.”

Yu-kyung couldn’t hide her doubts even as she agreed with Ho Cheon-an’s words. Is that important now?

Yu-kyung’s doubts were completely resolved by Ho Cheon-an’s next words.

“It takes five years for a person to learn the art of gambling. And…as a member of the Sichuan Dynasty, I learned directing for seven years.”

Yu-kyung’s eyes opened wide at Ho Cheon-an’s answer.

Ho Cheon-an acquired absolute gambling skills through five years of training.

So, what level has the directing that has been honed over a longer period of time has reached?

An anticipation rose in Yu-kyung’s heart.

Perhaps, with that Hocheonan… I have high hopes that Yuya will be able to unfold his strange arms that were twisted because of him when he was a helpless child.

As such anticipation began to bloom, Yu-kyung unconsciously looked towards Yu-ya.

“Yuya’s..”

What is Yuya’s meaning?

Yu-kyung, who was about to ask that question, was speechless for a moment. It was because of Yuya’s eyes looking at him. Looking at Yuya, who was just looking at her with eyes full of worry, Yugyeong remembered the young Yuya who visited her for the last time before leaving the imperial palace.

It was he who remained behind the comfortable walls of the imperial family, and Yuya was the one heading to the martial arts world where blood and swords abounded, but Yuya’s eyes were filled with only worry for Yu-gyeong.

Just like now.

Yuya was just worried about Yu-kyung even though his marriage was at stake.

“Do as you wish.”

After realizing that fact, Yu-kyung was able to make up her mind. If he was just going to settle down and worry about Yuya like he did back then, why did he diligently strengthen the imperial throne and build up his power until now?

“I will risk everything to push you.”

I will honor “ people.”

The next morning.

Numerous warplanes flew from the imperial palace.

At Ho Cheon-an’s fingertips, the production of Hyeok Kirin, a favored hero and princess warrior set on the world stage, began.
