      by Korita After the imperial council meeting concluded and everyone was about to leave the main palace, Chief Councilor In Seon Rok called Vice General Jeong Seo Tae aside.

      by Korita Black Princess Po Hwa Ryeong, hear this. I have heard from the court officials about your deviation; disregarding the rules of the inner court by leaving the palace grounds is a transgression that cannot simply be overlooked. ….. …. … .. However, I also understand your situation with great magnanimity that you have just arrived at the Black Tortoise Palace and were yet to fully understand both the external and internal circumstances, so I am inclined to show leniency. The…
    • Chapter 24: The Black Princess Part 3 Cover
      by Korita After that day, it rained over the imperial capital for a long time. The pouring rain continued even as the sun set and night fell, making it difficult to even step outside the solitary room. I quickly covered myself with a cloth to shield from the rain and went out to a nearby inn, where I bought sliced meat, rice, and clean water before returning. Inside the dilapidated house, I approached Black Princess who was quietly hugging her knees, set down the meal, and spoke as I shook off the…

      by Korita Time flowed by. After spending some time in the warehouse while chatting idly, they finally decided it was time to leave and cleared away the items blocking the door. “You are truly an amazing person.” “Huh?” When they emerged from the rice warehouse, the Black Princess looked around. After confirming that the guard had relaxed to some extent, she slowly blended into the crowd heading toward the town. “While you perform reckless acts without hesitation, I feel a sense of safety…
    • Chapter 22: The Black Princess Part 1 Cover
      by Korita Although the special unit members were numerous, Seol Tae Pyeong did not feel a great sense of crisis. After all, there was no need to take them all down. His main goal was to create an escape route so he and the Black Princess could escape together. The confined space made it difficult for the enemy to form a proper battle line. The cramped conditions made it difficult for their allies to wield their weapons effectively. The collapsed wooden lanterns further restricted the enemy’s movements,…
    • Chapter 21: The Special Unit Part 3 Cover
      by Korita It’s a tough era. If one were to only look at the splendid majesty of the Cheongdo Empire, they might think all its citizens were happy. However, a quick visit to the slums of the capital would reveal just how deep the misery runs there. There’s a timeless rule that no matter how the times change, the wealthy live in luxury while the poor lead miserable lives. Indeed, the common wisdom that the poor struggle just to survive applies universally and across all eras. Therefore, it was perhaps…
    • Chapter 20: The Special Unit Part 2 Cover
      by Korita “Hmm~. The spring breeze is refreshing!” Perched atop the outer walls of the imperial city, the Black Princess Po Hwa Ryeong, let her court robes flutter in the wind as she gazed down upon the streets below. From this vantage point, the lives of each individual below seemed fleeting amidst the vast expanse of the city. Her hair tied in two bundles and flowing down her back danced pleasantly in the breeze. The wildflowers tucked elegantly into her hair were varied. Poppies, roses, goldthread…
    • Chapter 19: The Special Unit Part 1 Cover
      by Korita “Vermilion Princess, I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying…” I could feel the color draining from my face. Not quite sure what expression I was wearing, I decided to just keep my lips tightly sealed for now. “What I said stands as it is. Ah, after all, I too am a woman, and I am thus prone to fleeting feelings and needless thoughts at times. This could be seen as a natural occurrence… It’s, it’s not something to make a fuss over.” “But, but still…” “Please…
    • Chapter 18: The White Immortal Palace Part 3 Cover
      by Korita The Black Princess Po Hwa Ryeong can read the hearts of people. These were the words of Shim Sang Gon, the Under Councilor who played an important role in placing her at the helm of the Black Tortoise Palace. The “Under Councilor” was one of the three closest aides to Emperor Woon Seong, responsible for managing the Emperor’s decrees up close and deliberating on various policies. Because it was a position that could be considered one of the highest positions a civil servant could hold, his…
    • Chapter 17: The White Immortal Palace Part 2 Cover
      by Korita “So, the Azure Princess plans to visit the White Immortal Palace twice a week…” “Originally, a Taoist master came to the Azure Dragon Palace twice a week to teach me the art of Taoist magic, but it seems it has become difficult to receive further teachings from him anymore.” The tea gatherings held twice a month were a time for the princess consorts of the four great palaces to engage in conversation together. Even if you become the mistress of one of the four palaces, it does not mean…
