Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 144
Love 6
When the princess asked as if she had to do something, I held my head in confusion and thought hard about what she meant. A hypothesis came to mind.
What is it?
I wonder if this isn’t a civil servant-style job.
‘Is that really how civil servants handle things?’
Originally, when the word ‘official’ was attached, it meant that something had to be shown to the superiors, and so the world of civil servants was full of things like protocol and formality.
If it was Taesu, it seemed like he needed something to show to some sort of high-ranking official of the time, perhaps even higher up.
But the thing I, with my previous life’s mindset, hate the most is the civil servant-style way of doing things.
Isn’t that what it shows?
How much trouble did you have in your previous life when a law was passed out of nowhere requiring the creation of a breeding facility that did not fit the actual situation?
I calmed down and asked the princess again.
I think it would be difficult to just show it off without thinking about the people.
I’m saying this while leaving some room for error, just in case you get scolded for being rude.
“Oh, it’s something that can be resolved by just leaving it alone, but you have to do something? Is there really a need for that? Wouldn’t it be better to first reassure the people that it will calm down in a few days?
“It seems like you need to show something to someone… Is there any way to do it?”
Then the surprised princess and the governor looked at each other with wide eyes.
It looks like it stings a bit.
Then, the two exchanged glances, looking at each other as if the princess was sending a message.
Soon the story was over, and the prince and princess nodded in succession, and then the princess let out a sound that seemed to acknowledge something.
“At first, I thought he was just a young So-hyeop, but he was a man with many more talents than I thought. That’s right. As So-hyeop said, I need to show him something. How should I explain this… Will So-hyeop understand…?”
That was when.
A sudden squeaking sound of hinges is heard.
Even though the princess had clearly bitten everyone, the door opened slightly and the creaking of its hinges echoed throughout the reception hall.
-Squeak.
“Who are you!? I clearly told you not to come near me until the story is over!?”
The princess’s shrill scream is interrupted by the creaking of hinges.
I thought I heard a voice of apology from outside, but what was sticking its head into the slightly open reception hall beyond the shouting was an unexpected person, no, it was the poisonous Cho and Bin.
-Tsurut?
-Tsurur?
The two boys looked at me through the slightly open door, poking their heads to the side and sticking their stuff in, asking, “Dad, is there more to the story?”, “Do we have to wait any longer? Why is that woman screaming?”
The two guys’ tentacles were wiggling through the crack in the door.
Since the fairy and the two guys were too big to come in, I told them to wait at the entrance until the conversation was over, but it seems they couldn’t wait that long and stuck their heads out.
“I’m sorry, Princess. I think the kids couldn’t stand it.”
“Oh, kid?”
I was afraid that the kids would get in trouble for interrupting the princess’s conversation, so I quickly apologized to the princess and ran toward the door.
“Guys, Daddy told you to wait. Just wait a little longer. The story is almost over, okay? Just wait a little longer. Okay?”
-Tsk tsk… “When will it end? I’m bored!”
-Tsurut. “Okay, Dad.”
Bin-i is whining and Cho nods his head in agreement.
As expected, the eldest daughter, Choga, wrapped her body around Bin and dragged her out through the crack in the door.
As I turned around, leaving behind Bin-yi’s grumbling that continued to ring in my mind, I saw the princess and Tae-su with surprised expressions on their faces.
The princess asked back in a disbelieving voice.
“Ma, do you understand!? And you say, daughter?”
“ah···.”
Earlier, I just showed them the outside appearance of Cho and Bin-yi as if they were dragging some kind of animal to show off my professional appearance, and when I told them to wait outside, I said it in my head, but the kids seemed surprised that they understood what I said and that I was their daughter.
‘Why don’t you show off after a long time? Well, since I’m part of the royal family, I’ll do you a favor.’
At the sight of the two surprised people, he quickly opened the door to the reception hall that had been closed, and called out to Yohwa and Cho and Bin, who were waiting outside.
“Binah, Choya, Yohwaya.”
-Tsurut?
-Kissit?
The three gathered at the entrance to the door at my call.
At the same time, he called out the other children who were in Hwa-eun’s arms.
“Yeondu, Hyang-i, Seol-i, Bing-i. And Agi. This is Moji and Soji. I’m late introducing myself. This is my family.”
Seol-i and Bing-i, who jumped out from the hem of Hwa-eun’s skirt, ran towards me with the baby on their heads, and Mo-ji and So-ji, who were still like shoulder decorations, started to wiggle when I called their names.
In addition, when the scent and green tea rose from the nape of the neck, the eyes of the Taesu and the princess widened.
The sight of Hyang-i rubbing her cheek almost makes your eyes pop out.
‘Wouldn’t it be amazing and fascinating? This is something you can’t see without purchasing a VIP pass to the poisonous plant…’
As I was thinking to myself that the princess should be forever grateful to me for giving her such a great show today, I heard the princess ask a question.
“A, family?”
“Yes, as you can see, I am a man who is crazy about poison. So, family.”
That was when.
The princess suddenly stood up from her seat as soon as I finished speaking.
She asked with a big smile on her face.
“Crazy about poison? Is that true?”
“Yes, you could say I’m crazy.”
There was a moment when I was slightly taken aback by the sudden joy.
‘What, what is it?’

“You were worried for nothing? Well, I guess our conversation will be easy.”
“yes?”
The princess suddenly felt like our conversation would be easy.
Then she asked the craftsman a favor.
“It seems like the only person who can help me is Sohyeop, so would it be okay if I spoke to Sohyeop alone?”
“yes!?”
I don’t know what point made her happy, but the princess’s face was clearly filled with joy.
The princess suddenly demanded a private conversation.
‘I feel uneasy about something.’
I’m talking about a very uneasy monologue.
***
A situation where everyone else is kicked out and only the princess and I are left.
As expected, my sense of unease was not wrong, as the princess scared me with a secretive voice.
“You must keep what I am about to say a secret. If this word gets out, your life could be in danger. Do you understand?”
‘Damn, I feel uneasy for some reason…’
Even if you watch dramas from your past life, not knowing the secrets of the political world is what keeps you alive longer…
He asked cautiously with a blank expression.
“Can’t I just not listen?”
Then the princess smiled like a mischievous child and answered with a wink.
“No, haha. If I don’t say this, I don’t think Sohyeop will help me. And I think that’s the only way Sohyeop will understand me.”
“I’ll just help you. Let’s see, what can I do to help you, Princess?”
The princess shook her head, even though he said he would help in some way.
The princess commanded with a very haughty expression that hid her smile.
“This is the royal command, so listen carefully.”
“···.”
What can I do when the royal family’s orders come out?
I had no choice but to listen to the princess’s words with a sad face.
Then the princess, whose expression seemed even more excited, began to tell me her story.
“So, when I was six years old, I first saw the sword on the waist of the King. It was a beautiful sword with a golden thread. That was probably when it started. I started to become crazy about swords······.”
***
“Whoa!”
Princess Guandu, Yu Ji-ryeon.
My first memory of the Sword of Ji-ryeon was accompanied by tears.
“What is this! Why is the princess crying?”
The Empress’s scolding fell upon her crying.
Ji-ryeon wiped away her tears and pointed to one of the gold soldiers.
Ji-ryeon was the only legitimate child born from the body of the empress, who was the emperor’s most favored person. Although she was a princess, from the moment she was born, she had been receiving the emperor’s favor just like her mother, the empress. So, making her cry would have been a shocking thing to do, but that was something that six-year-old Ji-ryeon could not have known.
Then, the king bowed down with a thoughtful face.
One of the soldiers fell to his knees and shouted.
“Please, kill me! Your Majesty! The Princess asked for a sword, so I was worried that she might get hurt···.”
“Are you talking about a sword?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Is that right, Princess?”
Ji-ryeon nodded with a tearful face at the empress’s question.
It was because he wanted to wear a sword with a sparkling golden thread on his waist.
“Black is dangerous, so don’t do it, princess.”
Her desire to wear the Tyler sword on her waist seemed to have subsided as the Empress said that the black sword was dangerous and should not be worn, but a few days later, Ji-ryeon followed the Emperor to watch the training of the Imperial Guard and was captivated by their splendid military performance, and on the spot asked the Emperor to let her learn swordsmanship.
“A sword? Yes. Yes, if the princess wants to learn, she should learn. I will give her a good teacher.”
At first, the emperor seemed to think it was nothing serious.
Perhaps he thought it was just a childish request, so he instructed the commander of the royal guard to teach Ji-ryeon the sword she wanted.
That’s how the first training began.
The first training session was very disappointing from the start.
I thought I would be able to display flashy sword skills while holding a shiny sword, but what my teacher, the leader of the Golden Army, the general, brought was a small wooden sword.
About a half inch long, just right for her hand.
“A wooden sword… It’s short….”
“Princess, at first, everyone trains with a wooden sword. If you use a real sword from the beginning and get hurt, it’s a big problem. Once you get used to the wooden sword, I’ll ask the Emperor to give you a real sword, so you can get used to it for now.”
“really!?”
“Okay. Okay, let’s start with the cut first…”
The leader of the royal guard seemed to be trying to teach something strange, but as soon as Ji-ryeon picked up the wooden sword, she closed her eyes and recalled the royal guard’s sword dance that she had seen a few days ago.
And regardless of what the commander of the royal army said or did not say, he slowly began to unfold what came to mind.
At first, I almost fell over because I was not used to swinging a sword and moving for the first time. But as I repeated it, I got used to it.
When she put away the wooden sword with a satisfied feeling, the face of the captain of the royal guard with wide eyes of surprise came into view.
“Wu, Wujae (martial arts)!”
“No trouble?”
The fact that Ji-Lyeon had outstanding martial arts talent was soon reported to the emperor, and the emperor was greatly pleased and gave Ji-Lyeon a real sword.
Although she was a woman, she was very happy to hear that she was a genius of the ages.
Thanks to that, Ji-ryeon was able to learn swordsmanship as much as she wanted, but the more she learned, the more she felt something strange.
The more he stretched his sword, the more he realized that the best swordsmanship of the imperial court that he had been practicing was not his own.
Twelve-year-old Ji-ryeon asked the captain of the royal guard.
“Why is it that the more I learn about the royal martial arts, the more I feel like they’re not mine?”
“Are you saying that it doesn’t seem to belong to the princess?”
“yes.”
The captain of the royal guard looked serious and lost in thought at those words.
He spoke in a cautious voice.
“Not all swords are the same. There is a sword that suits you. I think the sword that suits you the most is not the royal sword, but a sword from Taoism or Buddhism.”
Due to the nature of the imperial martial arts that values practicality, most of the imperial swords are murder swords.
It’s a sword focused on killing someone, but according to the general, Ji-ryeon has a tendency to swing her sword alone and achieve enlightenment, which is suitable for Taoism or Buddhism.
At those words, Ji-Ryeon decided to learn the martial arts of Taoism and Buddhism.
That’s why at first I tried learning some of the martial arts from the Taoist and Buddhist schools in the Imperial Secretariat, but I felt like the Buddhist martial arts suited Ji-ryeon better.
I thought it was good that it happened.
The Taoist martial arts schools would almost certainly reject Ji-ryeon on the grounds of his inability to endure official duties, and he thought that he would not reject Ji-ryeon since he would become a monk the moment he converted to Buddhism.
That is why, in order to disguise himself as a devout Buddhist, Ji-ryeon pretended to go around to various temples in the Central Plains and offer Buddhist prayers.
The goal was the Emei sect, though.
However, the Amipa he went to found rejected Ji-ryeon.
The princess came to him asking to become a nun, but he was afraid that if he accepted it without thinking, he would incur the wrath of the royal family.
When Ji-ryeon hesitated to answer the question of whether the Emperor had permitted her to become a nun, she was immediately rejected.
In the end, Ji-ryeon, disappointed, had no choice but to return to the palace.
And then, fatefully, I met my teacher.
A hermitage we stopped by on our way back.
A familiar sound coming from the mountain behind the hermitage where I had climbed in the middle of the night, shaking off the maids to swing my sword out of frustration.
-Seeing. Sing.
The place where I arrived, having moved my footsteps without realizing it, at the sound of a sword being swung.
I was able to meet a woman who was clearly wearing the clothes of a nun, but who had long hair.
A sword’s trajectory that you can’t take your eyes off of.
The image that Ji-ryeon had been longing for was there.
The swung sword cut through the moonlight, and darkness scattered across the cold blade.
The sight of fallen leaves caught in the black wind gently swirling around the woman and then settling down.
As he was blankly staring at the sight, the woman who noticed Ji-ryeon’s presence scolded him in a sharp voice.
“You shouldn’t spy on others practicing! Who is your teacher that didn’t teach you that too!?”
Ji-Ryeon, startled by the sound, quickly shook her head and said.
I had never learned anything like that, but I wanted to learn the sword I had seen from him earlier.
“I, I couldn’t learn those things because I didn’t have a teacher. I’m sorry.”
“Huh? You don’t have a teacher?”
“Oh, I was distracted by the sword and made a mistake. Please teach me!”
A woman who wanted to join the Army, and was looking at Ji-ryeon as she bowed and bowed according to the martial arts etiquette learned from the leader of the Geumgwan.
The woman answered with a smile.
“You don’t even know who I am and yet you ask for my teachings? Alright. Draw your sword and come at me. It would also be good to teach your juniors, wouldn’t it?”
And the time that followed was like a dream.
In the palace, I couldn’t even exchange swords with anyone, and even if I fought someone with a wooden sword, it was no fun because they wouldn’t fight back, but the hem of my clothes was cut.
When the sword grazed my cheek and blood came out, I couldn’t help but tremble.
A training that risks one’s life.
Yeah, that’s one of the things Ji-ryeon wanted.
-Cheong! Chae-jaeng!
“Take this? Then take this too. It’s the Great Compassionate Thousand-Handed Sword!”
-Chaenggrang.
After dozens of rounds, the sword that the Emperor had given me was broken in half, and a voice was heard.
Ji-ryeon was holding the handle of the remaining sword with her hands trembling from the shock of being struck by the sword, when she heard a woman’s voice.
“Would you like to give me your wrist?”
A wrist extended as if bewitched by a woman’s request.
The woman, holding his wrist and checking something, nodded and said.
“As expected! You have outstanding qualities!? And you have a pure background. There is a bit of a murderous spirit in your swordsmanship, but that seems to be due to the swordsmanship you learned. You clearly said you didn’t have a master, is that true?”
A voice is heard as Ji-Ryeon nods her head with a blank expression at the question.
“Really? Then, do you have any intention of becoming my disciple? I am Yeonhwa, the eleventh sword queen of the sword pavilion of the Bodha Hermitage in the South Sea.”
“Hey, Kenhou!?”
Of course I had heard of Botaam, but the reason I targeted Amipa was because I heard that Botaam was more closed than Amipa.
I had given up on becoming a disciple because I had heard that it was not easy, but Geomgak is the best school where women can learn swordsmanship.
Ji-ryeon immediately knelt down and answered.
Moreover, if it is a sword, it is the lord of Botaam.
Because she was finally able to learn the magical ascending sword technique she had so desperately wanted.
“Oh, thank you! Thank you!”
“Then, should I bow deeply to the teacher as an example of obeisance?”
“Yes, of course! Master, please bow deeply.”
It was after I had bowed deeply in such an eloquent manner.
“Okay, then, as soon as it’s daylight I’ll go to your parents and tell them that you’ve become my disciple. Where is your home?”
At those words, Ji-ryeon rolled her eyes and answered.
“Oh, the palace.”
“?”
The teacher blinked at the word palace.
The teacher, who soon came to his senses, asked again.
“Oh, do your parents work in the palace? Then, an official position?”
“Oh, Emperor···.”
The Master’s eyes widened in disbelief.
