The ledger contained a detailed record of all the allowances Sulwha had received so far and everyone’s kindness.

It wasn’t just about money. Even the candy and skewers that Jo Ho-na and Lee Mu-myeong bought were recorded in detail.

The ornaments that Sim Mi-ho had given to Seol-hwa a while ago were also recorded in the ledger.

Sim Mi-ho asked, tilting his head.

“Why did you write this down?”

“Our Confucius said so.”

“What did the lord say that you wrote it down like that?”

“They say that kindness and enmity are repaid double.”

Seol-hwa, who had finished speaking, put strength into her shoulders.

Sim Mi-ho tilted his head at Seol-hwa’s words.

“So you really want to pay back this much double?”

“Of course. When I become rich, I will pay you back double.”

Seolhwa held up two fingers.

I straightened my arms so much that my index and middle fingers seemed to reach the sky.

Sim Mi-ho asked with a sly smile.

“Then there must be a ledger that records your enemies?”

“hey.”

Seolhwa pointed to a corner of the bundle.

At that sight, Sim Mi-ho reached out his hand.

Seolhwa’s hands were faster.

Seolhwa quickly put the ledger into her bosom.

“This is a secret.”

“Well, the ledgers that contain favors are not secret, but the ledgers that contain grudges are secret.”

“Of course. Those who write down favors are allies, so you can share the information, but those who write down enemies cannot be shared with anyone. Hehe.”

Seolhwa smiled brightly and put down her brush.

Under the ledger where the favors were written, everyone’s name and the amount or help was already written down.

Sim Mi-ho was amazed by Seol-hwa’s memory and brushwork.

I was worried because all of his actions seemed to be becoming more and more like Hanbin.

One lord was enough.

Even Seolhwa didn’t want to resemble her lord.

That was when.

Joho came walking with a crab gait.

Seol-hwa noticed his presence and said.

“What’s wrong? Brother Joho?”

“Change this for me.”

When Joho sneakily extended his fist, Seolhwa tilted her head as if she didn’t understand English.

“What?”

“I’ll give you silver, so give me back the iron coin you gave me earlier.”

When Joho opened his fist, there was a silver coin lying there.

Seolhwa asked again.

“Huh? Why?”

“I think the iron sword is inferior. But how can the iron sword be considered a joke when you’ve been with me for so long?”

“Okay, hehe.”

Seolhwa handed the iron sword to Joho.

And then he accepted the favor.

Joho nodded.

“You have to change what’s written in that ledger too.”

“I already changed it. Look here. Hehe.”

When Seolhwa pointed to the ledger, Joho’s eyes widened.

In fact, Joho never saw Seolhwa fix the ledger.

Joho couldn’t follow Seolhwa’s hand.

His expression was extremely serious.

What a sight for a living thing that can’t even keep up with Seolhwa’s hand!

Joho’s shoulders couldn’t help but slump.

For a moment, Joho tilted his head.

There was one thing I didn’t understand.

That was the amount in the ledger.

There was no trace of correction in the ledger amount displayed next to Joho.

It was originally a silver coin.

What on earth happened?

Did he even gain the supernatural power to erase ink?

Joho’s eyes trembled slightly.

Then someone grabbed Joho’s sleeve.

“How long are you going to keep doing this?”

I turned my head and saw that it was a long robe.

Joho quietly stepped back.

The position that Joho had taken until just now was taken by Jang Sam.

It seemed like a secret conversation was taking place, but the conclusion was the same.

Jang Sam-do also offered silver coins.

Joho watched Seolhwa’s actions intently from behind.

I wanted to know what was going on.

Joho’s eyes grew wide as they reached their limits when Jang Sam stepped back and another Red Blood Tiger Squad member handed over the silver in the same manner.

No matter how I looked at it, Seolhwa didn’t change the ledger.

In other words, the ledger originally recorded it as one silver coin.

The snowman covering the books smiled quietly.

At that smile, Joho opened his mouth.

Only then did Seolhwa start to collect money.

Joho looked around.

Others seemed oblivious to what was strange.

Even Sim Mi-ho, who was watching from behind.

Seol-hwa, who had quickly swept up the money, organized Cheong-hwa and her bundle.

Then Joho approached quietly and asked.

“Oh, what happened? Seolhwa.”

“What is it?”

“I just said that. No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t understand it.”

“Are you talking about the ledger?”

“Yeah, you definitely didn’t fix it. Like you knew we were going to give you a favor.”

“When the topic of ledgers came up, everyone’s eyes lit up.”

“The look in your eyes?”

“When I said I would pay you back double, your eyes were like gold.”

“hmm.”

“That’s why I wrote it all down in advance as silver coins.”

“So you knew we would take back the iron money and give you the silver money?”

“sure.”

“Who on earth taught you that?”

“Who are you, Confucius?”

“omg.”

“If you only learned martial arts from Confucius, you are making a mistake. What you should really learn from Confucius is not martial arts, but wisdom.”

“Wisdom… … .”

Joho raised his head and looked at the sky.

Now that I look at it, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa were writing down every single word Hanbin said.

Joho couldn’t figure out why he was acting like that.

But now I think I know.

That one small action made the difference between Seol-hwa and himself.

When Sulwha was organizing the sayings of her lord Hanbin, she was thinking about the letter she would give to Hyang-i of the lower village.

When Seolhwa followed her lord and imitated his footsteps, she herself was holding her head in her hands.

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like I lacked training.

After admitting everything, Joho felt much more at ease.

If I just started trying from now on, it would work out.

Joho turned his head again with a determined expression.

There was Hanbin looking at the distant mountains.

At that moment, Seolhwa grabbed Joho’s sleeve.

When I turned my head, Seolhwa was smiling brightly.

Seolhwa opened her mouth first.

“Good job, brother!”

“Thank you, Seolhwa. You have given me enlightenment.”

“I’m glad it’s not too late. But it’s not something that can be achieved with just effort. Can a warrior only have high martial arts skills? You need to be good at armament to make a name for yourself. That’s why I prepared.”

“A sergeant major? What does that mean?”

When Joho asked, Seolhwa looked at Cheonghwa.

As if she had promised, Cheonghwa opened the bundle and took something out.

It was a leather pouch about a hand’s length wide.

Cheonghwa handed Joho a leather pouch.

Joho asked at that sight.

“What the heck is this?”

“It’s a writing tool.”

Although it was Cheonghwa who handed over the item, it was Seolhwa who answered.

“Writing tools? Why do I need them?”

“I think that from now on, Your Majesty the King will also record the words of our Confucius.”

“hmm.”

Joho looked at Seolhwa in surprise.

It’s as if he’s asking how I knew that.

Seolhwa smiled brightly.

“These are all the basics of sales. Speaking of that leather pouch and the writing brush and ink it contains… … .”

The story continued to explain about leather pouches and ink sticks.

Joho took out the pouch from his bosom as if he was under a spell.

For a moment, the snow flower in front of Joho disappeared along with Cheonghwa.

In the remaining hand of Joho was a leather pouch containing a writing brush and ink.

Joho, who had been blankly staring, looked back and forth between the leather pouch and his empty pouch.

Then a familiar voice was heard from behind.

“Did our youngest get hurt too?”

“Ah, Mr. Jangsam.”

“It’s nice not being lonely.”

“What do you mean, sir?”

“You and I have both been through it, so it’s only natural that we aren’t lonely.”

“Oh, sir, when did you buy it?”

“A little while ago… … . I bought it from So-gun.”

“Wow, they say that a place where you open your eyes and cut off your nose is a place of great strength, and that saying is exactly right. Cutting off Seolhwa’s nose!”

“If you learned your lesson with a few silver coins, you should have done business instead of cutting your nose.”

“What kind of lesson is this? I feel like I’ve been through something.”

“This is a lesson that money is no match for business. It is a story of a man who escaped a near-death experience a little while ago. Do you think he would do something like this just to get a few pennies?”

“That’s not true, is it? But don’t you feel sorry about it at all?”

“Well, I’ve already saved enough money to open a guest house after I retire, so I think I don’t need any more money.”

“Oh, you’re going to end up on the ship at this rate.”

“You punk, don’t say that. I like the secular world.”

“Haha, that’s the same for me too. The world would be better if I were with my lord.”

***

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa followed Hanbin in a hurry.

When Hanbin was out of sight, he followed him, begging desperately.

The boy’s cheeks swelled as he was forcibly dragged between Seolhwa and Cheonghwa.

Seolhwa cried out at the sight.

“Cheonghwa, wait a minute!”

“Okay, sis.”

As the Qinghua and Seolhwa stopped at the same time, the little boy who had been linking arms with the two in the middle walked forward and then back again.

It was like riding a swing.

There too, for a moment, So-gun puffed out his cheeks.

Seolhwa shouted urgently.

“Cheonghwa, get out of here!”

“Sister, avoid it too!”

After finishing speaking, Cheonghwa jumped like a rabbit and left the place.

A scream came out of the soldier’s mouth.

Remember!

For a moment, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa looked at each other.

Seolhwa continued speaking with an awkward expression.

“No.”

“That’s right.”

At that moment, So-gun came walking with his eyes wide open.

“Sisters!”

“Sogun, what’s wrong?”

“Why did you all avoid me?”

“We want you to… … .”

When Cheonghwa trailed off, Seolhwa answered.

“I knew you were going to throw up. Anyone who saw it would think you were going to throw up.”

“I almost threw up. What do you do when you suddenly jump like that? The problem isn’t that I almost threw up, I almost died. Look at my eyes.”

The boy points to his eyes with his index finger.

In that moment, Seol-hwa’s eyes widened.

The little prince’s eyes were darting around to the east, west, south, and north without being able to settle down.

Seolhwa asked with a worried expression.

“Where does it hurt?”

“If you’re running around like that, how can you not feel dizzy? I feel like I’m going to die.”

“Come to think of it, I didn’t think of you.”

Seolhwa patted Sogun’s shoulder as if she felt sorry.

The little prince’s eyes lit up as if he had remembered something.

“If you’re sorry, buy me dumplings later. I paid for the meal today.”

“It’s not just about the price of food. It’s more than that.”

“Yes.”

The little boy immediately changed his expression and straightened his shoulders.

Now even the pupils have returned to normal.

Seolhwa chuckled at the sight.

At that moment, a refreshing laughter was heard from behind.

“Haha, you really had a good day today.”

“Oh, Your Majesty.”

As Seolhwa hid the veil behind her, Hanbin continued speaking with a sly smile.

“Don’t worry about me. Just keep doing what you were doing.”

“Oh, no. It’s already over, Your Majesty.”

“Then follow me slowly. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Hanbin started to quietly take the lead.

Hanbin, who was walking ahead, stopped walking.

There was a huge hall there.

Baek Ju-cheon was waiting in front of the pavilion.

***

Hanbin was facing Baek Jucheon.

Between them sat an awkwardly placed steaming teacup.

This was the seat that Hanbin had requested.

But Hanbin didn’t say anything and just sipped his tea.

It was already the fifth time I had followed him.

Baek Ju-cheon, who couldn’t stand it any longer, said.

“If you have anything to say, feel free to say it.”

“I have a favor to ask.”

“If it were a request from you, would I not grant it?”

“Please open the door.”

Hanbin pointed north. Baek Jucheon’s expression hardened for a moment.
