Sigh... How many times has this happened?

Jungkook muttered softly and sighed.

It has been three days since Taehyung began investigating those who confessed as ordered.

When Jungkook visited their house, their reactions were all the same.

"Get out of here!! You're so unlucky..."

I'm sick of being turned away with those words.

전정국

Is this person... the last one?

I knocked on the door with a glimmer of hope.

"Who are you?"

전정국

Well... I have something to ask the owner of this house.

"What's going on? Why are you doing this?"

전정국

Well... I'll have to meet him and talk to him in person. Please let me meet him.

"....Wait here."

전정국

Yes, thank you.

After waiting outside the door for a while, the servant came out again and spoke as if he was apologetic.

"I don't know what's going on, but he said he doesn't want to see me... What's going on?"

전정국

That... Do you happen to know a person named Heo-yong?

"Of course. Aren't you the one who was exiled for plotting treason? I heard you were involved in it too."

Jungkook said, looking into the house through the slightly open door.

전정국

But if you committed treason, how can you live so luxuriously?

"Isn't it natural, since the Lord of the Images is giving us money? He provides all the financial support."

'Well then...'

전정국

Then, do you know who came here right before or the day before the treason incident?

"Hmm... I'm sure the Lord of the Images came to see you that day too. But why are you bringing up this case?"

전정국

Ah... I was just curious... Anyway, thank you.

"Be careful. If you ask too many questions and wander around, you'll lose your head in an instant."

전정국

Yes, thank you. I'll be going now. Please tell her I'm sorry for the noise.

Jeong-guk, who had received unexpected information, hurried to the palace.

At that time, Yoon Dae-sung's house

윤대성

Have you heard about the female doctor named Yul?

"Yes, Your Majesty. It wasn't difficult to find out because rumors spread throughout the palace that the doctor's name was actually Wol."

윤대성

Wol..? Then what is the name Yul?

"It seems she used a pseudonym to hide her identity. Also, it is said that the doctor's date of birth is the same as that of the woman named Wol."

윤대성

So... that woman is... that girl?

"It seems so. I think it's true because everyone in the palace knows this, even if you ask them."

윤대성

Okay... then... you'll have to work hard once more.

윤대성

I'll give you plenty this time too.

"Just give me the order. What is it?"

윤대성

Moon, bring me that girl's neck.

At that moment, the owner of the house that Jeongguk had visited earlier rushed in.

"Your Majesty!! It seems there has been a hitch in the work."

윤대성

What's going on?

"That's... someone just came to my house and asked me about that guy's case."

윤대성

...Do you remember that man's face?

"Yes, of course. I only saw it briefly, but I remember it clearly. She was beautiful, but she also had a tremendous energy about her... Her black clothes were fluttering."

"His face is as innocent as a boy's, but he also has a somewhat mature feel to him..."

At his words, Yoon Dae-seong fell into thought.

"Your Majesty, what will happen when everything is revealed..?"

윤대성

That won't happen. You can go now.

"Yes, I will only trust you, my lord."

After he left, Yoon Dae-seong spoke to the man standing next to him.

윤대성

...I'll give you four more.

"yes??"

윤대성

I'll give you 4 more...

윤대성

Don't show yourself before me until I cut that bitch's throat.
