‘What’s his real identity? He’s definitely associated with the Kwangho Army…’
As Geon was shirtless, it was hard to gauge his rank.
In the dim light, he appeared to wear pants similar to those of trainees, indicating his soldier status.
Yeon Woo, following Geon’s shadow, cautiously inquired.
“Are you a senior soldier?”
“No.”
“Then, are you a trainee like me?”
“Do I have to explain everything to you?”
“Ah…”
Geon’s blunt response settled Yeon Woo’s curiosity.
‘So, he’s also a trainee, probably out to buy supplies for the initiation ceremony.’
She had mistaken him for just another trainee.
Yeon Woo hadn’t realized that the ‘madman’ from Baekaksan could be part of the Kwangho Army.
“You were training, weren’t you?”
“People are scarce at this time, making it ideal for training.”
“You’re very diligent.”
She wondered how intensely he must have trained to end up shirtless.
Despite his intimidating appearance, he seemed earnest, likely knowledgeable about the military.
“Do you know what happens during the initiation ceremony?”
“I don’t.”
Geon’s straightforward response contrasted with others who might ramble about unknown matters.
Dae-bok would have babbled on and on about things he didn’t know.
Unlike others, Geon was a man of few words.
Yeon Woo thought it would be nice if she could somehow mix the two.
In the meantime, it seemed like Yeon Woo had caught the chatterbox disease from Dae-bok and kept talking.
“I’m worried about the senior soldiers’ bullying during the initiation ceremony…”
The dark camp was scary, as was the silent man beside her.
Moreover, the thought of encountering the man named Janggabdol during the initiation ceremony filled Yeon Woo with dread.
She felt that incessantly talking might somehow alleviate her worries.
“…”
Regardless of Yeon Woo’s chatter, Geon silently walked ahead without responding.
Yeon Woo, undeterred and not tired, continued to share her concerns.
“My biggest worry is about Lord Gwangho.”
“……?”
Geon, who had been unresponsive until now, twitched at the mention of himself.
Why would this new recruit talk about him?
Unaware that the man beside her was Gwangho himself, Yeon Woo continued speaking.
“I’m telling you this because it’s just between us, but they say Lord Gwangho’s military name means ‘crazy tiger.’ It literally means a mad tiger.”
“…….”
It was a bold move to gossip about someone right in front of them.
Geon couldn’t help but turn around, amazed at Yeon Woo’s audacity to call him a madman to his face.
He was curious to see how far this clueless trainee would go.
“Go on, say more.”
Suddenly showing interest, Geon prompted Yeon Woo, whose eyes sparkled.
“Have you heard? They say Lord Gwangho, true to his military name, is violent in nature. He reportedly buries officers he dislikes right into the ground.”
“…….”
“And that’s not all. I’ve heard he tears wild animals apart with his bare hands when he’s hungry and drinks human blood when he’s thirsty.”
“Ha!”
Geon let out an incredulous laugh at Yeon Woo’s outrageous words.
Even for Geon, who typically didn’t pay attention to rumors about himself, hearing such absurd gossip firsthand felt different.
What did this trainee think of him?
Oblivious to Geon’s disbelief, Yeon Woo continued her misguided talk.
“It’s not funny. We could be next in line.”
“What a ridiculous fellow.”
“Fellow? He’s a prince of this country, no matter how wild. You should watch your words.”
“…….”
Calling him a ‘mad tiger’ and accusing him of beast-like behavior, but taking offense at being called ‘fellow.’
She was even misinterpreting his comment about her absurdity.
It was hard to know where to start correcting such a soldier.
Just as Geon was curious to hear more of her absurd statements.
“Ah! There’s the merchant!”
Yeon Woo pointed to a merchant in the distance.
It seemed they had arrived at the North Gate where the merchant was, while gossiping about Geon.
With little time left before the initiation ceremony, Yeon Woo was in a hurry.
She rushed past Geon to the merchant’s stall.
“Two baskets of meat and two bottles of liquor, please!”
“Right here.”
After paying the merchant, Yeon Woo’s hands were full with food.
Having achieved her goal, she turned to speak to Geon.
Or rather, she intended to.
“Aren’t you going to buy anything, my lord? By the way, what is your na…”
He had clearly been nearby, but Geon was nowhere to be seen now.
“Where did he go…?”
No matter how much she looked around, Yeon Woo couldn’t find a trace of Geon.
It was almost as if he had vanished like a ghost.
“He always disappears so suddenly.”
Yeon Woo murmured to herself, looking at the spot where Geon had been standing.
Only the soft chirping of crickets and the crackling of torches filled the quiet empty space.
The initiation ceremony was set to take place in the senior soldiers’ barracks.
Fortunately, due to her quick pace, Yeon Woo managed to arrive just in time.
Dae-bok was standing in front of the senior soldiers’ barracks.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
