nPerhaps because they knew something was going to happen today, they started to notice things they normally would have missed.

nOf course, that applied to everyone except Taesan.

nTaesan was his usual self.

nAs he had already known that the white flower brothel was not an ordinary brothel since his first visit.

nFamiliar things were caught on Taesan’s radars.

n‘So that’s where it was.’

nThe white flower brothel consisted of three pavilions.

nIn one of those pavilions, he sensed bad energy that he had several encounters with before.

nTaesan was not good at memorizing people’s faces. As he wasn’t interested. But he was sharp at remembering any unique sources or flow of energy.

nAnd he distinctively remembered the common flows found in the Jong Clan warriors.

nThat energy was gathered in one of the rooms in the pavilion.

n“I will escort you to your usual room.”

nThe room that the prostitute escorted him to was opposite the room where the Jong clan warriors were gathered.

nHe was able to sense a few strong energies.

nTo make the fight between them look authentic they would need strong professionals amongst them. It seemed that they had done their homework and sourced the right ones.

nThey were more skilled than the ones usually stationed here.

nAnd there were more professionals than usual.

n“Not bad?”

nThe prostitute’s eyes widened as she turned around to look at Taesan.

nHer face was flushed.

n“Are..are you choosing me for today?”

nIt was a misunderstanding but he couldn’t be bothered to explain so he nodded.

n“Sure why not.”

nThere was a mixed look of happiness and sadness shown on her face.

nEven if she were selected today they would not be able to spend the night together. So she was sad and disappointed.

nAll the other prostitutes who had spent the night with Taesan said that their hearts still leaped whenever Taesan came to visit.

nAnd they all held strong urges to spend another night with him.

nThey were all disappointed that they couldn’t remember anything from that night besides the feeling that it was good.

nThat’s why the prostitute that had escorted him had dreamed of spending a night with Taesan.

nBut what a wasted opportunity it was.

nShe too wanted to be happy as the others who had been chosen by Taesan before.

nHer opportunity had arrived, but why was it today of all days.

n“Then…then I’ll call another as well.”

n“No need.”

n“Oh? Will you be satisfied with just me alone tonight?”

n“Yes. So now come and sit down.”

nThe prostitute happily entered the room and sat gently next to Taesan.

nThen Gyeongwan who was standing outside shut the door.

nTaesan looked at the girl sitting next to him. The prostitute averted his gaze and turned her face to show him her side profile.

nNow that he thought about it there was some time left until the start of their plan. So wouldn’t he be able to squeeze in something before then?

nThe prostitute held onto such wishful thoughts and looked at Taesan.

n“Don’t you think today’s environment is rather noisy?”

n“Oh? Well. I’m not too…sure….”

n“Listen carefully. Don’t you think there’s a fight going on?”

nThe prostitute paused and listened to the sounds of her surroundings. Then she faintly heard the sound of a fight.

n“Oh? I think you’re right?”

nShe knew what that sound was. It was the backdrop in the process to make today’s plan a success.

nThe prostitute sighed. It seemed she wouldn’t be able to achieve her dream after all.

nShe looked at Taesan with a calm and collected look in her eyes.

nThis naive and innocent prince was going to be in trouble today.

nTaesant smirked at the prostitute who was looking at her.

n“Do you want me to pick out your eyes?”

n“Sorry?”

nThe girl thought she had heard him wrongly. Did he really just say that?

n“Don’t look at me like that.”

n“How..how did I look at you…”

n“Do I look like a prey about to be eaten?”

nThe prostitute closed her mouth. She was confused. This was not the usual Taesan she had heard of.

nShe quickly tried to grasp the situation and opened her mouth to speak.

n“My…my prince what do you mean. I don’t quite understand.”

n“I think I have become rather benevolent lately? And I would have just let things go if you looked at me with sympathy but you dare to look down at me?”

nThe prostitute kneeled and bowed with her head to the floor.

n“I swear I never looked at you that way. I swear.”

n“Do you swear it on your soul?

n“Sorry?”

nThe prostitute stared blankly for a minute at Taesan.

nShe had heard the phrase swear it on your life but had never heard someone say swear it on your soul before.

nBut that was scarier than the former phrase.

nSomehow she knew instinctively that it would be dangerous to swear it on her soul.

n“Just start what you were planning to do.”

n“Sorry.”

nTaesan laughed wildly.

n“Do you think I came here without a clue of what’s going on?”

nThe prostitutes’ face turned pale.

n***

nGyeongwan stood blocking the door and looked around at his surroundings.

nYoo was standing next to Gyeongwan.

nAnd the doctor was seated a distance away from them.

nThis was different than the normal situation.

nNormally once Taesan entered the room the doctor would disappear only to return near the end.

nGyeongwan didn’t place much thought on the difference today. After all, today was a special day.

nGyeongwan who had been inspecting his surroundings tensely suddenly noticed Yoo.

nShe was no different from her usual self. But today she felt a little special to him today.

n‘Huh! What was I thinking!’

nGyeongwan turned away as his face started to flush.

nHe had been staring at Yoo when he had intended to inspect the surroundings.

nHe was nearly caught by Yoo.

nBut the problem was what came next.

nSuddenly he felt lustful. Normally he never dared to even dream about doing something to Yoo, but today he suddenly recalled Mdm Rogue’s suggestion to prepare a separate room for them.

nGyeongwan cautiously turned his gaze to Yoo. Coincidentally Yoo was looking his way and their eyes met.

nHe was surprised and quickly turned away.

nJust because his eyes had met Yoo he felt more lustful than before.

nThat was when Gyeonwasn realized he felt different than his usual self.

nHe then hurriedly looked to the doctor.

nThe doctor had a meaningful smile on his face.

nThis must be the side effect that he had mentioned earlier.

n‘How is this a small side effect!’

nGyoeongwan shouted inside his head.

nGyeongwasn who was struggling between his lust and consciousness noticed the sudden change in atmosphere and gained his senses.

nHis overpowering lust disappeared immediately. In its place, he was filled with adrenaline to fight.

nThis too was an unfamiliar feeling.

nAt that moment, he saw a bunch of people walking up the stairs at the end of the corridor.

nThey then started to walk towards Yoo and himself.

nThere were a total of 20 people, and their eyes glanced Yoo up and down as they passed by.

nGyeongwan was covered in cold sweat as he fought the rush of adrenaline that provoked his urge to fight and kill.

nThe group of people opened the door where the Jong clan were gathered.

n“Here you are.”

nWhat came next was a typical scenario.

nA fight over the scenario where one of them had picked the girl the other wanted when they had chosen her first.

nAnd after a series of ego stabbing comments, a physical fight broke loose.

nCrash!

nWith a loud explosive sound, the furniture and decorations started to break around them.

nThe broken pieces reached as far as where Gyoengwan and Yoo were standing, while the two of them watched on calmly.

nThose from the surrounding rooms peeped out curiously.

nThe people who had started fighting inside the room were soon out on the corridor and the fight started to build up.

nNaturally, the Jong warriors and the white flower brothel warriors tried to come closer to Gyeongwan and Yoo.

nAnd naturally started to attack Gyeongwan and Yoo.

nHad the two not been aware of today’s plan they would have been taken by surprise.

nBut the two were ready and in position.

nClang clangggg!

nThe two yielded their swords and defended all attacks.

nEveryone seemed surprised.

nThey were much more skilled than they had anticipated.

nThey had expected it to be an easy fight.

nThey thought they could easily surpass Gyeongwan and Yoo and break into the room they were guarding and beat Taesan.

nBut their first move had already gone wrong.

nThe two were too strong to use their planned coincidence as an excuse to take them out.

nSuddenly the Jong warriors and the white flower brothel warriors had a 180-degree change of behavior.

nThey started to attack Gyoengwan and Yoo together as though they were on the same side.

nTheir synergy was off, but they were highly skilled so didn’t interfere with one another’s attacks.

nGyeongwan and Yoo’s eyes were full of determination as they fought back their attacks.

nThe Jong warriors were definitely more skilled than the white flower brothel warriors. But it was easier to fight the Jong clans for them.

nAs the two grew in strength, their ability to attack their weakness had grown as well.

nAt this point, the attackers were taken aback.

nBut nobody expected today to be a failure.

nAs there were still those remaining that had not stepped in yet.

nMoonkwang who had been taking things lightly started to put more force into his attacks.

nAnd the professionals from the white flower brothel increased their attacks as well.

nGyeongwasn and Yoo hesitated momentarily.

nTheir original plan had been to block the rest while letting the professionals pass them and enter the room.

nBut seeing their skills they were concerned whether Taesan would be able to defeat them on his own.

nThen the same thought occurred to the two of them.

n‘Who’s worrying who. There’s no need to worry for Taesan.’

nMoonkwang came straight at Gyeongwan, while the three professionals from the brothel came at Yoo.

nGyeongwan stepped to the side and swung his sword.

nCrash!

nThe immense power in Moonkwang’s sword pushed Gyoengwan far aside.

nAnd just like that, the Moonkwang was about to break open the door.

nBut the door opened up on its own. in such a timely manner.

nAnd Moonkwang entered the room.

nAt the same time, those that had been attacking Yoo followed Moonkwang into the room.

nAnd with that, the door closed shut again.

nNeither Gyeongwan nor Yoo had the intention to stop them from entering the room.

nThe two glared at their opponents in front of the closed door.

nNow, this was their real fight.

nThe first to move was Gyeongwan.

nGyeongwan had been struggling to fight his adrenaline.

nSo he let loose and swung his sword at his opponents.

nClaaaang!

nThe surrounding was filled with clash of energy and fire sparks.

nWhile Gyeongwan attacked in a rough vigorous manner Yoo started her smooth and graceful attacks

nSwoosh!

nThe two had practiced and fought each other to their core, every single day.

nMeaning to say, they were most familiar with each other.

nThey knew one another weak spots, strong points, and habits so their synergy level was optimal.

nThey moved as if they had become one.

nThe longer they continued to fight, the more they felt a peculiar sense of familiarity and homeliness.

nIn comparison, the jong warriors and the warriors from the brothel were not working hand in hand.

nUsing that as an opportunity, Gyeonwasn and Yoo attacked continuously.

nThe more they fought, and the more intense their fight became, the more they became one with each other.

n***

nMoonkwang and the professionals from the white flowers brothel looked for Taesan as soon as they entered the room.

nTaesan was seated in a relaxed position and looking at them.

nJust then the door of the room closed shut.

nThe person who had closed the door was the prostitute who had been in the room with Taesan.

nShe was shaking in fear.

nAlthough they were not sure what had happened in the room, one thing was certain.

n“Hmm. Have you been hiding yourself the entire time?”

nMoonkwang glared at Taesan with a look of disbelief.

nTaesan slowly stood up from where he was seated.

nThe four who were watching him suddenly felt a strong pressure pushing their whole body down.

nTaesan’s words settled heavily on top of that pressure.

n“Jong clan loser step aside. I have something to discuss with the rest of them.”

n
