    “Hurry!”

    “Yes, I’ll be better!”

    Ye Bu Sang-seo Yu Ji-san hurried his servants to prepare for the light as soon as dawn broke. Yu Ji-san, who got into the carriage, had a triumphant smile on his face.

    ‘Hehehe, you made a big mistake! Your Majesty! And Princess Yuya!’

    The opportunity has finally arrived.

    An opportunity to regain the power that was taken away from Emperor Yugyeong.

    Thinking like that, Yuk Ji-san recalled the past.

    Princess Yuya disappeared into Wulin.

    Princess Yuya’s sudden disappearance into the martial arts world shattered the imperial power structure in one fell swoop.

    To the subjects who supported Yuya, this was no different from a thunderbolt in a dry sky.

    A princess who ran away from the imperial family to become a martial artist. This was absolutely not the behavior that the royal family should have taken, so the moment this fact was leaked to the outside world, Princess Yuya’s support was completely lost.

    Therefore, Princess Yuya had to be returned to the imperial family without anyone knowing, but this was impossible.

    He was in a position where he couldn’t use his power openly, so how could he find Yuya, who disappeared in the midst of a trend of actively avoiding, let alone collaborating with, those in power?

    No matter how long it took to find it, there was no answer because the longer Yuya spent in the martial arts world, the more serious his flaws became.

    Therefore, the Yuya faction that supported Yuya was helplessly disintegrated.

    The disintegration of the Yuya faction was never a good thing for the Confucian faction’s subjects.

    A law that requires merit to claim rights.

    Even if Yugyeong was crowned emperor, they were in a position where they could not gain anything since they did nothing in the process.

    After that, it was Yu-kyung’s solo stage.

    Based on a stable imperial throne, the power of government officials was reduced and the imperial authority was strengthened.

    Feeling a sense of crisis, the powerful people, regardless of faction, joined forces to oppose Yu-gyeong, but there was no way to reverse the trend that had already shifted to Yu-gyeong’s side.

    In such a situation, there was only one path that the authorities could choose.

    Hunch back and wait for an opportunity to turn things around.

    Yu Ji-san was convinced that today was the moment of reversal.

    This was because Princess Yuya appeared in the middle of Luoyang yesterday and revealed her past in detail. How bizarre is this for a princess of a great empire to dress up as a man and swing a sword across the Wulin region!

    The fact that Princess Yuya’s behavior deviated from the royal family’s laws was so clearly revealed that even an illiterate farmer in any village could see it.

    Princess Yuya’s dethronement is a confirmed matter, and the current emperor, Yugyeong, can never escape responsibility.

    Yook Ji-san wondered how to put pressure on the emperor.

    ‘First of all, I’ll have to get rid of that thorny classmate. The justification is sufficient because the power of the classmate must have been mobilized to conceal Princess Yuya’s private life.’

    Of course, the Geumui Commission could not just leave it alone. Local talents who were selected from outside the influence of the authorities were always a nuisance. We may not be able to get rid of him like his classmate, but we should at least make Admiral Geumwiwi resign.

    “Hahahaha!!”

    Yu Ji-san, who was letting his imagination run wild, eventually couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. The humiliation of worrying and worrying about not knowing when my place at the wedding ceremony would be taken away is over. Now it was time to return to the position of authority that had been able to defeat the will of the emperor and once again enjoy power and wealth.

    ‘your majesty! This time, even if heavenly fortune favors you, you won’t be able to escape!’

    Yu Ji-san, who had been laughing while thinking about that, suddenly stopped laughing.

    This was because people could be seen lining up through the window of the carriage.

    “What is it….?”

    Yu Ji-san muttered that without even realizing it. There was only one place where a procession of people could continue.

    Imperial Palace.

    When Yuk Ji-san remembered that fact, he stuck his head out the window without realizing it and couldn’t help but gape.

    “What the hell is this…?”

    A large crowd of people gathered in front of the imperial palace.

    *** ***

    It’s been a week since Hyeok Kirin personally went up to the gun stand and revealed his past.

    During that week, Luoyang was in chaos every day.

    Guests pouring out of Chilbong Gaekjan. Their actions caused uproar in Luoyang. Since many people immediately found items worth offering as prizes, their actions and reasons naturally spread through rumors.

    It is said that the people who flocked to get Geum Myeong-wol’s explanation offered a true prize to save Princess Yuya. The news quickly spread throughout Luoyang, and people from all over flocked to join the ranks formed by the actions of the Chilbong Guesthouse guests.

    Such actions of local people once again stimulated the Luoyang people. Even those who came from the provinces are going all out for the princess, so how can the Luoyang people stay still!

    We will also watch over the princess!

    As it was revealed that Geummyeongwol was Princess Yuya, the competition to take over Geummyeongwol spread in another direction.

    As the days passed, the procession of people to offer gifts to Princess Yuya continued to increase, and in proportion, a mountain of gifts was piled up in the imperial palace.

    The will of all people in the world is the will of heaven. So many people expressed their opinion that one could dare to describe them as all the people in the world.

    We defend Princess Yuya.

    Although the people clearly expressed their opinions, the treatment of Hyeok Kirin was not easily decided. For the powerful figures of the past, this was their last chance to regain their glory, so they fought with all their might.

    However, those struggles were dashed as rumors spread through Luoyang that the powerful officials who had driven Princess Yuya out to Wulin in the past were tormenting her again for their own greed.

    That’s what happened over the past week, and it was also the reason why Princess Yuya’s treatment was made public only today.

    Princess Yuya’s punishment was two weeks of probation, which was effectively a declaration of innocence considering the extremely strict imperial laws.

    “Long live His Majesty the Emperor!”

    “Long live princess mama!”

    So, those who heard the news, and indeed the entire Luoyang, burst out in joy, which soon led to a festival.

    “Princess Yuya only received a light probation!”

    “Good! Good!”

    “Isn’t this all the result of our Shanxi people’s hard work!”

    “What are you saying! The people of Shaomseo care the most about Princess Yuya!”

    “Ha! Do you have a sprained eye? Those who are happier than anyone else are all Luoyang people!”

    “Hmph! If Shaanxi had a capital, there would have been a bigger festival!”

    Well, there were some small fights like that during the festival, but the important thing is that they treat Hyeok Kirin’s work as if it were their own and are happy about it.

    The reason why they developed a crush on Geum Myeong-wol may have started from a desire to produce a martial arts hero in their own region, but isn’t this a reflection of their growing desire for the cute Daehyeop named Hyeok Kirin to be someone even a little close to them today? .

    Whether you are a hero from our region or a princess from our kingdom, you will feel the same sense of belonging as being connected to Jinmyeongwol.

    I smiled secretly as I looked at the people drinking and rejoicing. As the festival atmosphere took over, I became even more excited to look around the streets of Luoyang.

    People wearing official uniforms and carrying Seogong dolls were already noticeable. How much is it all? I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw lots of money going around Luoyang that would end up in my pocket.

    ah! Unearned income! The sweet taste had already spread in my mouth to the point where I was worried that my teeth would rot.

    As I walked around the streets of Luoyang, filled with joy, my eyes caught the sight of large palaces. As always, it was the Chilbong Guest Cup that radiated presence. With Chilbong Gaekjan in my sights, I turned my steps and headed towards Chilbong Gaekjan.

    I was curious about Jang’s news. You may not know it, but Jang and I’s performance would have become a legend in Chilbong Gaekjan. So, if you are Chilbong Gaekjan, you will be able to find out news about Jang.

    I thought about quietly settling into the Chilbong guesthouse, but I found out about Jang-i before I even entered the guesthouse.

    “For the Sun Guardians! For Hoeju Jang! For Princess Yuya!”

    “The Empire and Geummyeongwol Daily Life Collection! And for Seogong!”

    This was because numerous toasts could be heard beyond the walls of Chilbong Gaekjan. In the end, it seems that a Hyukkirin fan club was formed with Jang Yi at the center. The guests of Chilbong Gaekjan come from all over the country, so if they go back to the countryside and absorb the fandom formed in front of bookstores and tea shops, a huge organization on a nationwide scale will be born.

    Will Jang be able to lead a large organization called the Sun Guardians? After thinking for a moment, I nodded.

    Well, since we are a group of like-minded people, if we have passion, we can probably get through it somehow. If you are a deep fan, you will get through it just fine.

    After confirming the last issue that bothered me, I returned to the imperial palace. Until yesterday, I had been hiding like a princess and going in and out of the imperial palace and Luoyang through a secret passage, but now I was an official guest of the imperial family as an acquaintance of Princess Yuya.

    In other words, from now on, you can confidently enter and exit through the front door.

    As I entered the imperial palace through the gate, receiving salutes from the imperial soldiers, I felt a sense of relief, as if the last piece had been put in place. What can I say? Do you feel like everything that went wrong has been corrected? The fact that there was no longer any need to hide or deceive in the imperial palace, the center of the empire, truly refreshed my heart.

    It’s really over now.

    Honestly, this job was extremely difficult. It was more difficult mentally than physically.

    Because I wasn’t sure.

    The subject of this grand plan was not me, but Hyuk Kirin, and it was Hyuk Kirin’s charm, not my directing, that had to move the hearts of the world.

    I just believed in the charm of Hyeok Kirin, whom I had fallen in love with without even realizing it, and placed it high up so that everyone could know its charm.

    Jang Yi, the method of showing their intentions by offering gifts, the performance of Chilbong Gaekjan, and Jang Yi’s comrades who later encouraged the competitive spirit of the people of Luoyang were all unplanned.

    That’s why I couldn’t let go of the tension until this very moment.

    You can really rest assured now.

    “Whoaaaa….”

    Thinking like that, I let out a long, long sigh without realizing it. This sigh is probably the remnants of the worry and anxiety I have felt so far. I felt like my stomach, which I already thought was cool, had been hollowed out.

    Since I had already felt refreshed after eating the ox horn, I decided to shake off all the residue in my heart.

    so.

    I put Hyuk Kirin in my eyes, whom I haven’t seen for a week. You will be happy to see Hyuk Kirin smiling brightly.

    And after that…well. Should I hold him in my arms and stroke the top of his head and then give him a kiss? I wanted to rub my cheeks too, but I’ll try to hold back.

    Probably because it looks like he will be making a formal marriage proposal.

    I felt a lot of anxiety while going through this, and as anxious as I was, I had pictured the ending in my head countless times. Even though the situation was tense, perhaps because I had already developed an intracerebral delusion that bordered on brainwashing, I did not hesitate in my steps.

    That’s how I set foot in Baekhwa Palace, where Hyeok Kirin lives as Princess Yuya.

    “Are you here!”

    And the person who welcomed me at Baekhwa Palace was not Hyuk Kirin, but Emperor Yugyeong.

    “Hahahaha! The treasure of the empire! Hero of Wulin! It’s been a lot of hard work so far!”

    Yu-gyeong’s clown was so high up that he looked like he was about to ascend to heaven at any moment. I wonder if there will ever be another moment of joy like this for Yu-kyung. It was the day when Princess Yuya’s status issue was completely resolved, and it was the day when the roots of the authority that had been torturing her all her life were uprooted.

    “You should have seen the rotten expressions on the faces of those bastards! Seeing him just trembling and admitting defeat made me feel like a lifetime of anger was washed away! Wahahahahaha!”

    “ reduction. Your Majesty.”

    “Hahaha! Thank you!”

    Yu-kyung bursts into laughter. I wanted to join in the joy, but for some reason, the corner of my mouth didn’t want to move.

    Hyukgirin is not visible in Baekhwa Palace. And instead of Hyuk Kirin, it’s Yu-kyung at Baekhwa Palace.

    This was because I somehow had an idea of what the current situation meant.

    “Oh and by the way! I’m talking about a re-injury that caused you to drop out while you were an instructor. That person is very talented! I plan to give them appropriate positions among the positions held by those who are destined to fall and raise them myself!”

    “That’s a really good thing.”

    “Hahahahaha! How can you have such a great eye for talent? Your existence is truly the Red Hat of our Empire!”

    “It’s just a shame that they treat me like that when I just got injured again. But, Your Majesty…”

    “Hahaha! There is already no one in the world who doesn’t know about your abilities, but you even have humility. You have it all! Wahahahaha!”

    “Where is Princess Yuya?”

    Yu-kyung’s laughter suddenly stopped. The silence that came suddenly. In that silence, Yu-kyung looked at me, and I also looked at Yu-kyung.

    Ha, Cheonan. Hello Hocheon. You stupid guy. Didn’t you expect this obvious thing?

    “Haha, you mean Yuya? I’m sorry, but he’s already been placed on probation. How could living in the palace where one usually stays be a source of probation? We will only be able to meet each other after moving to another palace and spending ‘one month’ under tight security where ‘not even a rat’ can enter.”

    How could Yu-kyung, a patient with this extremely severe terminal stage Hyuk Kirin disease, allow me to kiss and confess to Hyuk Kirin?

    “Your Majesty, may I express my honest impressions?”

    “It doesn’t work.”

    “It’s ugly. Your Majesty.”

    “Ha ha! What does it matter whether it’s ugly or not? I can never give it to Yuya! We will live together in the imperial palace for the rest of our lives!”

    “I have already promised to get married. Your Majesty.”

    “Aaagh! I can not hear you! I didn’t hear you! A marriage promise made outside is invalid! I can never admit it!”

    I guess.

    It seemed that there was one more hurdle left to overcome in order to marry Hyeok Kirin.
