Yujo grit her teeth as she followed the man. Thinking back to his behavior at the ChiHwaRu and the storeroom, Yujo knew that this man’s hands and lips acted fast. As long as the girl was wearing a skirt, he acted like a besotted fool. Imagining him meeting an early demise filled Yujo with glee.6b474946718a6da4

The palace! Yujo’s eyes widened. As she thought… Was he an independent official? He was incredibly talented in the martial arts, and he had a strange aura about him. And for some reason, he gave off the scent of bureaucracy. There was a chance that the emperor had wanted this matter investigated due to the fact that the Heukra was seen with the guibin’s waistband.7cf49fc3b0d396c9

The man continued up as if he were heading to the second floor, but he stopped at the middle landing of the staircase and stepped in front of a large cabinet that had been placed against the wall.
