Unfortunately, there was no name tag. Although that would reduce its value, something even more incredible was there instead.
The green epaulet on the shoulder.
This was…….
“Do you want to sleep in the bed? I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
At the voice from behind, Minjoo turned his head creakingly. Eunha was standing in front of the sofa, holding extra blankets.
“……Sister.”
Minjoo’s lips quivered faintly.
The wind that slipped through the slightly opened window puffed up the curtain. The curtain passed, and the boy’s surprised face was suddenly close.
“Where did you get this?”
Twinkletwinkletwinkle─
The boy’s eyes were shining like never before.
(This is a time separator.)
“Ah, they say they’re coming now.”
After hanging up the phone, Jehwi hesitantly returned to his seat.
The woman sitting opposite had introduced herself as ‘Catherine.’
Catherine, a beauty in a neat suit and sharp glasses that suited her well, had her hair meticulously pulled back in a bun, giving a mature and tidy impression.
“I was worried about the sudden request for a meeting, but I’m glad you readily accepted.”
She smiled, pushing her glasses up with a finger. Jehwi returned the smile awkwardly and thought.
‘Readily…not exactly.’
Having been by Siwoo’s side for a long time, he knew. The moment the story of the Princess of Heukyeom was brought up, Siwoo’s temperature changed.
Jehwi peeked at the woman sitting opposite, holding his teacup.
But really, her Korean was fluent. The pronunciation and accent, not a single part of it was awkward.
Her left chest badge (Badge) was particularly dazzling. It was shaped with a large letter C engraved on a gold horseshoe surface.
‘That’s the badge of Chaser…….’
He was seeing it for the first time.
Chaser was a hunter guild affiliated with the United States. Although its size wasn’t large, it was an historic guild, established in the early days of the Gate’s appearance.
“I hear that the guild master of Chaser is a famous hunter, a former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel.”
However, that was all the information that had come across the sea. In fact, it was said that not much information was known even in the U.S., so there couldn’t be much to find out here in Korea.
Anyway, to work with a guild like Chaser, that level of foreign language ability must be a basic requirement.
Catherine, who had detached her lips from her teacup, grinned at me, who was glancing at her with curious eyes.
“Are you interested in our guild?”
“Ah, my apologies. It’s just that it’s so shrouded in mystery, I couldn’t help but be curious.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
She set down her teacup and looked down at the badge pinned to her left chest.
“I don’t know much about Chaser either.”
“Pardon?”
“Although I’m wearing the badge, strictly speaking, I belong to Chaser’s subsidiary, Clamp Management.”
Catherine placed her business card on the wellpolished glass table.
Oh…. even the business card was gilded.
Management. As a person in the same industry, it seemed like we would get along well.
So, they exchanged business cards and had a conversation over warm tea.
As Jehwi had expected, the two people working in the same industry had quite a lot in common. For example, having a stubborn boss.
“I, too, had to suddenly go on a business trip to Beijing on the night of the order from my representative. It was my younger sister’s birthday… Ha ha. Thanks to that, I had to be careful for quite some time.”
“I see. I also had to postpone everything and hurriedly come to Korea, so I probably won’t be able to go home for a few days when I go back to the U.S.”
“You must be very tired from your journey.”
The two looked at each other and smiled warmly. They felt they understood each other without needing to say more.
Then, not long after, the door opened noisily.
Bang!
“Ah, Representative…”
“Is it here? That guest.”
It was Siwoo.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
