n“My Prince, a guest is here.”

n“A guest?”

nTaesan looked at Soso as she said there was a guest for him.

nSoso’s facial expression didn’t seem like she was satisfied.

n“She is extremely pretty…..”

n“Pretty? Is she someone you don’t know?”

nSoso nodded.

n“Yes, it’s my first time seeing her.”

nThe reason why Soso’s facial expression was grim was that she thought Taesan was looking for another woman instead of Harin.

nShe really wished Taesan would date Harin.

nTaesan believed that if a lady who Soso doesn’t know visited him, then there is a high possibility that he doesn’t know the lady either.

n‘Perhaps it is the lady from the brothel or the owner?’

n‘There is a chance that the owner may visit once since I let her warrior go.’

n‘Although I didn’t instruct Gyeongwan to do so, he has confirmed that he saw the warrior walking to the brothel.’

nAlso, Gyeongwan told him that there was chaos inside the brothel.

n‘They must be scared.’

nGyeongwan pretended that he didn’t know anything about what happened last night but it probably made him think about it.

nHe predicted that the brothel owner would react in any form. Taesan believed that the owner was not just an ordinary owner.

n“Bring her.”

n“Here?”

nAs Taesan just looked at Soso, Soso was intimidated and put her head down.

n“I will bring her immediately.”

nAs Soso went outside, Taesan sat down and practiced the Magical Spell of increasing Spirit.

nThe Magical Spell of increasing Spirit was not a martial art that anyone could learn anywhere since it has a strong force and is hard to control due to its volatility.

nHowever, Taesan reached the top in the Magical Spell of increasing Spirit.

nIt wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was a capable master in controlling the power.

nIn contrast, Taesan learned enlightenment when he died so the instability of the Magical Spell vanished.

nAs a result, he was able to train himself for the Magical Spell at any time, place, or in any situation.

nIt was possible for Taesan to continue or quit training so he would use his spare time to train himself.

nWhat Taesan was doing now was purifying the force which he obtained through the Magical Spell.

nBy purifying it thoroughly, he could make the power belong to him and he planned to connect the disconnected heartbeats one by one.

n‘How many people do I need to absorb from now on?’

nSince there were so many disconnected heartbeats, he wasn’t sure how many times he had to repeat the procedure.

nWhile he was intensively training, Soso came back from outside.

nShe brought a guest with her.

nAs Taesan saw the guest who entered the room, he gave a mysterious expression.

n“Danyoung?”

nThe guest was Danyoung but she looked surprisingly different.

nIt’s obvious that she looked different than last night and she looked way different than they said goodbye before.

nMeanwhile, the ladies in the brothel who spent the night with Taesan changed as well but Danyoung was the best out of them.

nDanyoung went on her knees in front of Taesan and put her head down.

n“I will serve you, Mr. Prince. Please allow me.”

n“Why?”

n“You gave me life so I want to live for you.”

nTaesan just looked at Danyoung with her head down. Then, he turned his head and looked Soso who appeared anxious.

nAs he was watching Soso, he wanted to laugh.

n‘It only has been a few days but I must have changed,’ Taesan thought all of sudden so thus he made a generous decision.

n“Prepare a room.”

n“Sorry?”

nSoso became surprised and her wide eyes looked at Taesan.

nTaesan didn’t bother with Soso’s reaction and asked, “Where do you stay?”

n“Sorry? Me?”

n“You have the skill to make me ask the question twice.”

n“I stay at the residence where the maids are staying.”

n“Is that so?”

nTaesan looked as if it was an unexpected answer. He thought she would stay in a better place as she was his exclusive maid.

n“Then you can move as well.”

n“Sorry?”

n“Anyway, is there any work you do other than serving me?”

n“Nope. I do other things. I have a lot of work.”

nTaesan frowned.

n“Screw that. Also, move near my room. Make her room next to yours.”

nSoso was extremely frazzled but she responded, “Yes, I understand.”

nShe became confused. Actually, things related to maids were handled by the human resource department. So, any decision had to go through there.

nHowever, Taesan wouldn’t be considerate enough to handle such an issue.

nSoso worked hard to organize her tasks inside her head.

n“While you make a place to stay, make a room for Gyeongwan as well.”

n“Sorry? Is Warrior Cheon joining as well?”

n“He will if I tell him to do so. Well, he can stay there if he wants to.”

n“Yes. I will tell him that.”

nTaesan waved his hands.

n“You two ladies can go. Soso, guide her well.”

nStartled, Soso asked, “Then… is this…. Lady will be working as a maid?”

nTaesan looked at Soso with a dull face.

n“What else will she do?”

nSoso looked once at Taesan and once at Danyoung. Although Taesan said such a thing, Danyoung’s attitude didn’t change at all.

n‘It seems like she hasn’t done such work before…….’

nThe problem wasn’t only that. Danyoung was too pretty to work as a maid.

nAlthough she was less pretty than Harin, Danyoung was prettier than many people in Muhan.

n‘She will create some trouble.’

nUnless Taesan’s position was firm, numerous guys would harass or hit on Danyoung explicitly.

n‘Gosh, whatever.’

nSoso shook her head and brought Danyoung while leaving Taesan’s room.

nAs Soso was trying to close the door, Taesan gave his last order.

n“Tell Gyeongwan to get ready. We will be heading out as soon as the sun goes down.”

nSoso was about to say, “Again?” But she was able to hold it and nodded.

n“I will tell him while talking about his new place to stay.”

nAs Soso and Danyoung left, Taesan laughed.

n“She still can’t manage to keep her face still.”

nAlthough Soso didn’t speak, her facial expression showed her feelings.

n“That’s a skill.”

nAlthough it wasn’t intentional.

nGyeongwan had a dependent relationship with the Golden Wall Clan.

nHe obtained a place to train and medicine for training the martial arts for the Black Dragon group.

nThat’s why even the boss of the Black Dragon group couldn’t dare to mistreat Gyeongwan.

nSo that was the reason why Gyeongwan was using a small tourney hall by himself inside the Black Dragon group.

nIn addition, he was qualified to explore all secrets desired by the Golden Wall clan for the Black Dragon group.

nIt was a condition that Gyeongwan couldn’t deny.

nGyeongwan did his best to teach martial arts to the Black Dragon group.

nAlthough he couldn’t teach his genuine martial arts, he was able to effectively teach other martial arts.

nThat’s all Gyeongwan was thinking about.

nHe planned to leave the Golden Wall Clan once he mastered his martial arts.

nHowever, there was one factor.

nIt was called Taesan.

nGyeongwan endlessly swung the sword inside the small tourney hall owned by the Black Dragon group.

nIt was a process of accepting new enlightenment.

nHowever, as he swang his sword, comments made by Taesan got him thinking.

n‘Perhaps he thought he made a mistake.’

nThat word was going around his head and he wasn’t able to focus on the training.

nAs he was recalling to see what the meaning was, he came up with one conclusion.

nHe was still not able to destroy his wall effectively.

nAlso, the more he trains, his thoughts became more certain.

nIf he didn’t gain anything from the beginning, he wouldn’t have such feelings.

nHowever, he couldn’t do that now. When he moved the sword, he somehow felt stuffy and the movement didn’t go well.

n‘I thought I was free from the weapon… but I am not.”

nThe thoughts continued to increase. However, he couldn’t grasp his thinking.

nAs he was doing so, Taesan’s face came up.

nWhile Gyeongwan put his sword down and thinking about something, he felt somebody was moving inside the tourney hall.

nGyeongwan turned his head to see who it was.

n“Soso?”

n“The Black Dragon group leader told me to come here… The Prince will move when the sun goes down.”

nSoso wanted to add a few comments.

nUnlike usual, Gyeongwan’s face looked dark and scary so she was worried if Gyeongwan was against Taesan.

nHowever, there was no need. She saw Gyeongwan’s face becoming brighter.

n“Really? Then I should head now. Let’s go.”

nGyeongwan left the tourney hall before Soso even made a step.

nShe mumbled while looking at Gyeongwan’s back.

n“I mean… He will leave not now but once the sun goes down…”

nOf course, Gyeongwan didn’t hear that. That’s because he already left the tourney hall and was heading to Taesan’s residence.

n“Anyway… did he have such various facial expressions?”

nSoso shook her head while whispering.

nTaesan left the Golden Wall residence with Gyeongwan behind him.

n“Are you heading to the brothel today as well?”

nAs Gyeongwan asked, Taesan looked at him.

nSomehow, today’s atmosphere was different. The tone, facial expression, and attitude differed.

n“What’s wrong with you? Did you eat something wrong?”

nGyeongwan mumbled and cautiously said, “It’s because….what you said before…”

nTaesan raised his hands and interrupted, “Drop it. Tell me about other brothels.”

nGyeongwan looked anxious like a dog who needed to pee. However, he couldn’t deny Taesan’s order.

n“Then…How about the other brothel?”

n“I don’t know. Then, let’s go there.”

nAs Taesan spoke, he raised his chin to tell Gyeongwan to take the lead.

nTen days ago, if Taesan did such behavior, he would feel Gyeongwan’s murderous spirit but now everything seemed to be natural.

nGyeongwan took a step towards another brothel.

nStill, he looked at Taesan’s face. The need to get some gains constantly pressured Gyeongwan.

nTaesan stopped walking all of sudden. Then, he scratched the back of his head and looked at Gyeongwan.

n“Hey, if you are going to lean when you feel stuck then just drop everything.”

nThat surprised Gyeongwan. Then, Gyeongwan’s shoulder sagged like a scared dog.

nWith one sentence, the pressure which oppressed Gyeongwan disappeared. Instead, self-hatred filled inside Gyeongwan’s heart.

n“Why don’t you join in today?”

nGyeongwan made a bitter smile after hearing the comment and shook his head.

n“I have to protect the Prince. Nothing will happen but I can’t stay relaxed.”

nTaesan laughed.

n“Who is protecting who? Well… I like your attitude. Also, you think too much. When I was in your shoes, I just swung the sword with full energy even though my muscle strength or stamina were depleted. Do you know what happens if you do that?”

nGyeongwan looked at Taesan with wide eyes.

n“I don’t know.”

n“Of course, you don’t know. You haven’t tried it like that.”

n“Then, what should I do?”

n“What should you do? Just do it.”

nGyeongwan took a deep breath.

nTaesan didn’t experience such things. It was a joke.

nBut it was a joke that didn’t sound like a joke.

n“Then, let’s go. I’m really expecting to see falling flowers.”

nTo compare it to falling flowers, they must have been in the industry for ages. Then how filthy were their souls sticking to the spirits?

nTaesan took a step with excitement.

nAlso, Gyeongwan took the lead while safely guarding Taesan.
