First, let's review what we learned before.

소정 image

소정

yes

성재 image

성재

How far have you learned?

소정 image

소정

How to hold and swing a basic size sword.

성재 image

성재

Give it a try.

.

소정 image

소정

Ugh... Ugh...

성재 image

성재

good job.

성재 image

성재

Now we're going to move on to a slightly more difficult stage.

소정 image

소정

yes.

성재 image

성재

What's more important than swinging the sword is blocking the incoming sword.

Your Majesty... I have a letter from the Imperial Family.

성재 image

성재

A letter? Go in and take a look.

성재 image

성재

What letter?

현식 (집사) image

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 image

성재

......

성재 image

성재

It's the founding of the nation...

National Foundation Day: A commemorative day commemorating the founding of a nation.

성재 image

성재

A week later....

성재 image

성재

Call Sojeong.

현식 (집사) image

현식 (집사)

yes.

...

소정 image

소정

I... Your Majesty...

성재 image

성재

Hey, come in

소정 image

소정

What's going on?

성재 image

성재

Do you happen to know about Geonjeongguk?

소정 image

소정

no...

성재 image

성재

It is literally a commemorative day commemorating the founding of the country.

성재 image

성재

It's May 31st, a week from now.

성재 image

성재

I heard there was going to be a ball at the royal palace that day.

성재 image

성재

The emperor had ordered that you attend with him.

소정 image

소정

Me...?

성재 image

성재

Yeah, I don't know what you're thinking.

성재 image

성재

You said before that you wanted to debut in the social world, right?

소정 image

소정

yes..

성재 image

성재

Is it still like that?

소정 image

소정

yes...

성재 image

성재

Then this founding of the nation is the beginning for you.

성재 image

성재

You don't have to debut if you don't want to.

성재 image

성재

Even if you don't debut, I can make sure you live comfortably in other territories.

소정 image

소정

Thank you for your kind words, but... I want to debut.

성재 image

성재

Okay. Don't rush into it. Just attend the ball this time and then decide.

소정 image

소정

yes.

소정 image

소정

Me. Your Majesty

소정 image

소정

If His Majesty the Emperor gives an order, do I have to follow it?

성재 image

성재

If possible, it is better to do so.

소정 image

소정

Why?

성재 image

성재

Because we belong to the imperial faction.

성재 image

성재

The nobles are divided into the imperial faction that follows the emperor and the noble faction that follows the noble families.

성재 image

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 image

성재

It is good to strike this balance.

성재 image

성재

Of course, I could turn it into an aristocratic one...

성재 image

성재

Then the damage the Emperor will inflict on us will be enormous.

성재 image

성재

Because I don't want to lose something precious...

성재 image

성재

Follow the emperor.

소정 image

소정

yes...

성재 image

성재

'Because I don't want to lose you.'

소정 image

소정

I'll step back now.

성재 image

성재

okay.
