Episode 31 In the original novel, Danha’s personal history was briefly mentioned a couple of times. The King of Jehaguk had many children. However, he was such a heartless father that there were children he had never even called by name after they were born. Even when his children fell ill and died, became political sacrifices, were abused by their mothers, or died in battle, the King remained indifferent to them. Danha took care of his neglected younger siblings as if he were their…-

<Episode 30> Hissss. I thinly sliced the duck and tossed it onto the pan, sizzling atop the stove. I added mushrooms and onions, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and stirred it all together. Fortunately, the western shelter was well-stocked with ingredients, just like the other shelters. While it wasn’t a kitchen with gas that you could turn on with a valve, there was a cooking stove. The structure was a little different, though. It was about 17 pyeong (around 56 square meters),…

<Episode 29> * * * “They can’t see or hear, but they only recognize humans?” “Yes.” “And you have no idea how that’s possible?” “That’s right.” I nodded while stepping around some branches as the Crown Prince questioned me. Sien, who had been walking while hugging a tattered blanket I had washed for him—saying it was too precious to throw away—approached us. “As expected, Lady Ria, you’re so clever.” His eyes, like violets, curled into…

<Episode 28> Jaeger’s gaze fell on the woman who had fallen into a deep sleep. Between them, the only light came from a single light stone. In that dim glow, her face, at ease despite the awkward position she was curled up in, was visible. Her pale, makeup-free skin, long lashes, small and delicate features, and smooth jawline stood out. She had rolled up her sleeves, and her hair was messily tied up. For a moment, the face of that detestable woman overlapped with the face…

<Episode 27> “Do you have the backpack? Hand it to me.” Jaeger obediently handed over the bag that was slung over his shoulder. I fumbled around, opening it and feeling for what I needed. I pulled out cotton, disinfectant, and a special ointment from the temple by touch. “Give me your injured leg.” Once again, he offered his leg without protest. ‘That’s strange, I thought he’d snap at me to mind my own business and take care of myself.’ It seemed like the…

Chapter 1: The King of Ghosts “What do you mean by that?!” The one who abruptly stood and shouted was The Heavenly King of Growth, the Southern Guardian King. His face twisted in displeasure, as if he had heard something deeply offensive. “That being is a ghost! A ghost, I tell you!” He wasn’t the only one wearing such an expression. Every person seated around the table wore a similar look of unease and disapproval. “That’s right. This is absolutely unacceptable. How could…-

Translator Note: This novel is deeply rooted in Korean folklore and incorporates many cultural and historical references that may not be immediately clear to those unfamiliar with the culture. While I will do my best to make the translation as clear and accurate as possible, please be aware that my understanding of the nuances of Korean traditions, myths, and historical context may not always be perfect. I am not a native speaker nor do I have deep roots in Korean culture, so there may be elements…

<Episode 4> I tapped the spot on the map where our hut was located with my index finger. “Right now, we’re at the East Shelter.” In the Sacred Zone, these huts were referred to as shelters, and there was one in each of the cardinal directions—east, west, south, and north. The shelters were places where the families of the deceased could honor their loved ones with the temple’s permission. Most of the deceased were from the upper class, except for the commoner soldiers, so the…

Lorena was in the guest room. Sitting still on the sofa, wearing the coat offered by a female officer, her small figure seemed almost fragile. Vaye strode toward her with his long steps. Standing by the sofa, he looked down at Lorena’s profile from an angle. Her eyelids were shut tightly, and she exhaled quietly, as if trying to steady herself. “Get up.” At his low command, her delicate eyelashes quivered slightly. Her hands still bore traces of dried ink and brown bloodstains. The…-

To put it briefly, Lorena could not reclaim her wedding ring from the jeweler. The jeweler hesitated to comply with her request to return it. <I recognized at first glance that this item originally belonged to you, Señora... However, if I hand it over to you, I would have no excuse to present to the Marquis. I doubt you’d want me to inform him that the Duchess of Levantes retrieved this item, would you?> Lorena had no choice but to leave the jeweler, merely asking him to keep the ring's…
