Sojung. Are you ready?
소정
yes
성재
First, let's review what we learned before.
소정
yes
성재
How far have you learned?
소정
How to hold and swing a basic size sword.
성재
Give it a try.
.
소정
Ugh... Ugh...
성재
good job.
성재
Now we're going to move on to a slightly more difficult stage.
소정
yes.
성재
What's more important than swinging the sword is blocking the incoming sword.

성재
Are you okay today?
소정
yes
성재
Let's stop here for today.
성재
Let's go in.
소정
yes.
현식 (집사)
Your Majesty... I have a letter from the Imperial Family.
성재
A letter? Go in and take a look.
성재
What letter?
현식 (집사)
Here it is.
<> Letter content
<Dear. Duke of Asosh.>
How are you doing?
<Please come to the palace during this national foundation festival.>
There's going to be a ball.
<And make sure to bring the person you bought this time.>
<I'll end this letter here because it's too long and boring.>
성재
......
성재
It's the founding of the nation...
National Foundation Day: A commemorative day commemorating the founding of a nation.
성재
A week later....
성재
Call Sojeong.
현식 (집사)
yes.
...
소정
I... Your Majesty...
성재
Hey, come in
소정
What's going on?
성재
Do you happen to know about Geonjeongguk?
소정
no...
성재
It is literally a commemorative day commemorating the founding of the country.
성재
It's May 31st, a week from now.
성재
I heard there was going to be a ball at the royal palace that day.
성재
The emperor had ordered that you attend with him.
소정
Me...?
성재
Yeah, I don't know what you're thinking.
성재
You said before that you wanted to debut in the social world, right?
소정
yes..
성재
Is it still like that?
소정
yes...
성재
Then this founding of the nation is the beginning for you.
성재
You don't have to debut if you don't want to.
성재
Even if you don't debut, I can make sure you live comfortably in other territories.
소정
Thank you for your kind words, but... I want to debut.
성재
Okay. Don't rush into it. Just attend the ball this time and then decide.
소정
yes.
소정
Me. Your Majesty
소정
If His Majesty the Emperor gives an order, do I have to follow it?
성재
If possible, it is better to do so.
소정
Why?
성재
Because we belong to the imperial faction.
성재
The nobles are divided into the imperial faction that follows the emperor and the noble faction that follows the noble families.
성재
Because we, the only Dukes currently, are of the Imperial faction, the imperial family will not collapse and the imperial power will be maintained.
성재
It is good to strike this balance.
성재
Of course, I could turn it into an aristocratic one...
성재
Then the damage the Emperor will inflict on us will be enormous.
성재
Because I don't want to lose something precious...
성재
Follow the emperor.
소정
yes...
성재
'Because I don't want to lose you.'
소정
I'll step back now.
성재
okay.
