〈Episode 589〉 The Little Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace.
A small room on the upper floor.
It looks like a place where it would be difficult for many people to enter.
At least five or six people were crammed into that small room.
A thinly spread bed.
Mrs. Mi was bowing briefly towards the place.
“This is Hyoran Mi, the person in charge of Baekhwasangdan. I would like to meet the princess of the Ice Palace.”
When Mrs. Mi said that, the person in the bed smiled faintly.
“Oh, you don’t have to treat me like that. You can just make it easier for me.”
minx.
No, you fool… No. The Little Princess of the North Sea waves her hand at Madame Mi.
Okay then.
“No, my lady, how can you say such things to someone from the Central Plains?”
The person standing behind speaks.
“Wherever you go, you deserve to be treated with respect. Especially in an unfamiliar place like this.”
He was probably an escort.
The spirit of bringing up the subject is also considerable. Even if it is not possible, it feels like the climax has been easily passed.
Then, is the person next to him also an escort? There is another person with similar clothing to the man.
The author will probably be escorted too.
The princess shows a somewhat troubled expression at the escort’s words.
“Woobeom… This isn’t even our land. How could I accept a worse example than this? I even caused an accident?”
I don’t know what to say with confidence.
Swish.
The little princess carefully changes her position to show respect to the other person.
“ball…!”
The escort seemed surprised and tried to stop him, but the princess’s words came first.
“My name is Yuri. I am known as the fourth star of the North Sea. Thank you for welcoming me here.”
His gray hair sways as he bows his head slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his head and smiled slightly.
“I didn’t plan on meeting you like this… Hehe.”
I guess so.
I guess you never thought you’d run away and get caught and meet him again.
“I’m a little embarrassed. This is it.”
Yuri scratches the back of her head and spits out the words.
Silence follows those words.

Because no one said anything.
Just a few seconds like that.
A short while later, it was Mrs. Mi who broke the silence again.
“I would like to thank you again for visiting the Central Plains… .”
“Hehehe what?”
“First, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Before you were welcomed, I would like to hear about how you attempted to escape.”
“iced coffee.”
The reason why he disappeared through the guard earlier.
It seemed like he wanted to hear that part.
“Maybe you didn’t like the instructions above.”
“That’s not it.”
“If you do that, I want to know how you could do that.”
As Mrs. Mi continued to speak calmly, Yuri smiled slightly and answered.
“I just wanted to look around.”
“Are you talking about sightseeing?”
“yes.”
Even Mrs. Mi fails to control her expression at the simpler answer than expected.
I was wondering what kind of answer that was…
The expression on Yuri’s face as she spoke was sincere.
“I really wanted to come to Jungwon. Especially to Hanam where the Murim Alliance is! I thought I would never be able to go until I died. But now that I’m here, I can’t stand it anymore.”
His expression was full of excitement as he spoke with a bright smile.
“So I wanted to see the Murim Alliance and the famous Shaolin Temple.”
“… So, are you saying that you ran away?”
“I’m sorry about that. But I felt like I wouldn’t be able to leave once I got here. And I really would.”
After hearing Yuri’s words, a question arose in my mind.
‘Once you get to the top, you can’t get out?’
It felt a little strange to hear him say that with such confidence.
“So… Since it has come to this. I can’t just watch it today… .”
“No.”
Mrs. Mi cuts off Yuri’s words firmly.
“The Central Plains are more dangerous than you think, Your Majesty.”
“Hey… But just for one day… .”
“We have been asked to provide safe protection for the duration of the princess’s stay in the Central Plains. It is dangerous to go outside without permission… .”

Mrs. Mi’s eyes narrow slightly as she looks at the glass.
“If we think about what you wanted from us in the Ice Palace for your princess, it is even more impossible.”
“… Ugh.”
Yuri groans at the firm words.
Every time I see it, I really don’t understand it.
‘Why does it look like that and look so cheap?’
Resembling Mo Yong-hee means that she is a cold beauty with a cold aura.
Even because of her hair, Yuri looks colder than Mo Yong-hee.
How can someone’s actions and speech be so different from their appearance?
‘So. Why was I called here?’
I’m just quietly watching this situation unfold, still incomprehensible.
“But…! He hasn’t come yet.”
“Your Majesty…? What do you mean…?”
“The Red Feathers of the Central Plains!”
… What feather? Everyone had to make a strange expression at Yuri’s shout.
“Wouldn’t the story progress if he came?”
Mrs. Mi’s brow furrows at the strange nickname.
Red Feather? What kind of human is that?
It was a nickname I had never heard of before.
‘I think even Madam Mi doesn’t know this.’
After hearing the words, Mrs. Mi frowned and thought about it for a moment.
“ah?”
He looked at me as if he realized something.
What? Why are you looking at me?
Mrs. Mi, who had been looking at me for a while, quickly turned her gaze to Yuri.
“Your Majesty. That may be.”
“If we’re going to talk about it when he comes anyway… . Until then, I can just watch, right? Even if it’s just for a little while.”
Yuri’s eyes, which were about to burst into laughter, left Madam Mi and looked at me behind her.
“Huh?”
Then he suddenly pointed at me with his finger.
“You…! The one who hit me!”
As soon as Yuri says that, the guards behind her react.
An unnecessary atmosphere was created in the already small room.
“Hit me…?”
I can feel the escort’s eyes becoming more and more murderous.

Oh, this is not good.
“No, that’s not it. The situation is a bit…”
Just as I was about to hurriedly make an excuse.
“What do you do in times like this? Oh, right.”
Yuri suddenly started to change her posture.
He kneels down and clasps his hands together obediently. And he does so while looking at me.
What is that doing?
While I was momentarily confused by the strange behavior.
“Excuse me.”
She looks at me and says.
“I am…”
The voice also seemed to have changed somehow. I guess you could say it felt like an awkward imitation of a man’s voice.
No, that was it.
Why is that woman suddenly speaking like that?
At that moment, I had such a question.
Yuri looked at me and said.
“Would it be okay if I married you?”
“…?”
The atmosphere rapidly becomes cold.
Not only the sound of speech, but even the sound of breathing became inaudible.
My thoughts stop.
I think it was like that for about a second.
Was that the problem?
“What is this crazy bitch talking about?”
I couldn’t help but blurt out the words.
It’s been a while since I last spoke harsh words.
“Huh….”
Next to me, I heard Mo Yong-hee swallowing her breath.
Yeah, I would have covered my mouth too.
I break out in a cold sweat as I unknowingly say the words.
at that time.
“wow.”
Yuri reacted after being cursed at.
“I swore! Wow!”
A reaction different from what I expected bursts out.

“Oh my, you’re crazy. This is amazing! This isn’t the answer I was hoping for, but it’s refreshing, isn’t it?”
“…”
“Hey, can you do it one more time? It’s the first time I’ve heard you curse.”
At those words, I unconsciously distanced myself slightly.
I think she really is a crazy bitch.
It’s difficult.
‘No matter how crazy it is, I don’t want to deal with someone who is truly crazy.’
It was already annoying because she looked similar to Mo Yong-hee, but her personality made it even more annoying.
Yeah, that’s exactly it.
A person who doesn’t want to get involved.
That guy in the North Sea was the type of person I was least compatible with.
I was thinking about running away for a moment because it didn’t seem easy.
“hey.”
The guard behind Yuri calls out to me.
Woof.
Suddenly my lower abdomen reacted.
I felt that and looked at the other person.
“Savage. What did you just say to the princess?”
“savage?”
That’s another unique term. It’s a word I’ve never heard before.
I’ve heard of thugs, scoundrels, and even crazy people. A savage? That’s refreshing.
“To spout such nonsense! Those Central Plains guys are just as dirty as I’ve heard.”
That’s a pretty shitty choice of words, I thought.
A growling voice mixed with energy.
“How dare you say such things, knowing who this person is?”
“I thought you were introducing everyone yourself?”
“Shut up!”
You asked me.
Why are you getting annoyed when you asked me?
“A lowly race like you. How dare you spit out nonsense to the star of the North Sea! I can’t even thank you for coming!”
“Oh, Woobeom. Isn’t that a bit too much…?”
“Please stay still. I will protect your status as a princess from them.”
“You don’t have to do that…!”
Yuri tries to stop him urgently, but
Woobeom takes a step forward, seemingly unwilling to hear this.

At the same time, the bastard’s hand turned to the sword tied to his waist.
“I will tell you what the Sword of the North Sea is.”
Spoon-!
Just as I was about to pull out the sword.
Towering-!
The guy had to stop himself without being able to draw his sword.
Just before drawing the sword.
Because before he knew it, the tip of a sharp knife was on his neck.
“Don’t move.”
Gulp.
A little blood flows from his neck.
“This bitch…?”
The person who subdued Woobeom was surprisingly Dang Soyeol.
At some point, Dang So-yeol moved and threatened Woo-beom with a knife.
Are you flustered by the unexpected situation?
The guy starts rolling his eyes.
I said as I looked at it.
“thrice.”
Then, attention is focused.
The little princess too.
Mrs. Mi too.
Mo Yong-hee too.
That idiot named Woobeom was also looking at me.
“At first, I gave Mrs. Mi a pass for saying some shit.”
I did my best to sound gentle.
“Next, you got past the bullshit you were talking to me about.”
You can see his expression distorting as if he doesn’t understand.
“I even saw you try to draw your sword for the last time.”
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.
“I’m really not feeling well today.”
He looked at Woobeom as he spoke.
“But you’ve already endured it three times?”
He said with a light smile.
“If you say one more word here, you. Really die.”
There is no next.

I looked at him with that thought in my mind.
Okay then.
“What are you saying now…?”
Unable to control his pride, he blurts out a word.
I was worried that something would happen if I didn’t say anything, but fortunately I was able to.
With that thought in mind.
My hand was already on the bastard’s neck.
