- 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.

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…

- “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…

- “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…
