Suddenly, Haejoo felt a sharp 105a3cef5b pain crossing from his shoulder 0a24fb72fe to his chest. Haejoo slowly 337807b4ed placed his 2271b849f2 hand on 24de47fa0a his chest. It felt like a warm water 149fd6b103 bag had burst in his uniform e64aa21e34 pocket, hot, painful, and stinging. His hand e98da35af8 was covered 603ddbb747 in blood.809f5ba66c2c75409948

The knife the student had dropped 6aa6ef1b2d was now in someone else’s hand. He stabbed the knife into 387ce754cd Haejoo’s shoulder, swinging it like 9cf6cde2d6 a toy without fear.

Choi Haejoo lay 0e04767466 on the cold 54128e1579 asphalt. His body felt hot 7181edfb31 yet cold, and the 84a79dce76 world was dark. It was like being 6be53fef6a underwater; he couldn’t even 4005b821ba hear properly. It felt as if he were already dead, 1a90cb99a1 a faint soul trapped in his corpse. He couldn’t reach 6de1f7488f out or lift b0c825f968 his head. There was nothing 8cd93c2c53 he could do.07de497b86b44e75f256

Drowsiness overwhelmed him.c44bc35cfeec37a94276

It felt like 3a2a0f7f46 waking up from 42ec47879a a long sleep. Consciousness returned. Haejoo thought 959c2b4b60 he had daf36105b4 survived. People really 0324414b1e don’t die 71ec9783ac easily. He wondered if the station had handled his leave properly, considering 2457b0ccb7 he had been on the brink for quite some time.

A group dressed 43a8662ddb in Rococo-era attire. The lavish 4cd35a21dd room where de0e899f6d he lay. Everything was too e1e15c4de3 realistic to be 085188b7cc a dream. Haejoo became confused. Was this a vision seen in a 3432ba88f3 coma, a kind of afterlife, or had ca742378da I been reincarnated through some occult power?

Haejoo didn’t 37a7005828 believe in bc99eb3499 the unscientific. But no matter how he looked 10e11f033f at it, this was occult. Have I been reborn in the body dab91d20e0 of a boy I don’t know?

He wasn’t sure a9ccb663fa if reborn was d111610b77 the right term. Reincarnation, as he understood it, meant being 168cb1e532 born in a different era with a 5b1afc7a37 completely different personality after death. It was strange to have been reincarnated by going back in time to the medieval era, with his personality bab716a3fa clearly transferred into the body of a boy who had presumably lived his own life for some time.0ff22dc9c215634ea388

The people who had been lingering a581f06283 in emotion gradually composed themselves and 496045ef01 left Rohan’s room one by one. The last to remain were a beautiful woman, f9803daaf4 who seemed to be Rohan Lansonfree’s mother, and 106e9e425a a stern butler in a tailcoat.795b974495ee9eb1103e

The butler took a meal a93f6153bf from a trolley brought in 56ab258094 by a maid and fed b0a8ed4741 Haejoo spoonful by spoonful. He served perfectly in sync with Haejoo’s 52f1538829 pace of eating and swallowing the soup. For some reason, Haejoo was 04929f7c5d convinced the butler wasn’t human.12e7afda68a9afa8e819

Haejoo was beginning e68b09aeff to piece things e44dcebf41 together. As absurd as it was, it seemed he had 6ddb0757a7 been transported to the world of <For the Emperor>.

He guessed this from 4afd803a22 the beautiful attendants each 756fa1d6b7 visitor had by their 0340a7dccb side. They stood by their 39fe7ee6ba masters with expressionless faces, 7a5cc1f4d5 like loyal dogs or 9c45bf2285 shadows. Haejoo observed 39edb4224f their movements.
