Chapter 45
In front of the jade hairpin,
Ha Eun-eung and the prince stood frozen.
Only the viewers were visibly frustrated.
Throw it away!
Haha, you can buy that kind of hairpin at the market.
Don’t even think about it.
A 13-year-old Silent Swordmaster with a hairpin? No way.
You’ve been given it, just take it and toss it aside.
How about giving it to the wandering merchant as a gift?
Wow, even Satan would cry at this level of demonic behavior.
So, if Silent Swordmaster ends up with the mixed-race boy, can we congratulate them?
I’ll kill that guy, then I’ll die too!
To kill him, you’d have to see his face first. You think you can cross the Dae-suri threshold?
Hahaha, revenge difficulty is way too high.
No one could engage in personal revenge or interfere,
and those who wished to intervene
were standing beyond a path too treacherous.
The illegitimate child of the Yokai King,
amidst the jealousy of 7,200 viewers,
Silent Swordmaster took the hairpin from the prince.
“!!”
Ha Eun-eung thought,
It’s just a hairpin.
A mere tool for tying hair.
To refuse such a kind gesture from him,
who had gathered gladiators in such a short time for her,
because of some unease over the meaning of the object
would be an act of abandoning this tragic prince
who had already been abandoned by everyone, starving for maternal affection.

The hairpin is an object for a maiden who hasn’t been married yet! Please, stop!
Someone tried to incite her,
<조신한숙녀 님 100000원 후원!>
A hairpin is simply a tool for convenience for long-haired women. How could it be considered vulgar?
Someone else encouraged her,
<요망한마망 님 100000원 후원!>
The lewd feeling of exposing a white neck in front of thousands... I can’t stand it!
And some simply enjoyed the moment.
Silently,
Ha Eun-eung raised her hands behind her head to tie her hair,
as her smooth white neck was revealed,
leading to her fingers sliding down her glossy, polished skin,
capturing attention with her alluring collarbone.
Through the slightly open front of her attire,
her breathing caused her chest to rise and fall,
teasing the imagination with a forbidden fruit,
making her viewers swallow their saliva.
Maganom and the prince swallowed hard,
unable to contain their excitement.
The prince glared at Maganom as if he were about to kill him,
but in his quick recovery, his gaze remained harsh,
a silent promise to never spare him if he looked at him again.
He then continued.
“Yokai Queen Osotsu tried to kill me, passing all the blame to me after my father’s death. She’s not someone who should be given a ticket.”
“Same goes for the general.”
“Wendigo, you said you were a former soldier of the general. I understand your personal feelings, but please wait a moment. I was about to explain.”
Next, a large bear-like figure appeared in the shadow on the eastern side.
“The eastern quarter of the palace belongs to General Vicro, a loyal general under my father. However, after the Great Yokai Rebellion and the rise of the Yokai Queen, he broke away and formed his own military faction.”
“Compared to the Queen, he seems much more moderate.”
“That’s right. We plan to obtain General Vicro’s ticket. Once we enter the palace, we’ll receive his summons. But there’s one concern.”
The prince’s expression darkened.
“Since I barely escaped the palace with nothing, Vicro has never reached out to me.”
With a gloomy look on his face,
he turned to Ha Eun-eung.
“I’m certain that Vicro harbors ambitions for the Yokai King’s throne. He won’t help me easily. But if you wish, I’ll gladly approach him.”
The political power structure of the palace.
The fierce struggles of powerful Yokai for the rightful throne.
Ha Eun-eung could feel a sense of nausea rising within her.
‘Not only have I been harassed by so many factions and organizations in the martial world, now I have to deal with the political struggles of Yokai in a game too?’
The closer she got to the central figures of great power,
the more her life seemed to become miserable.
She had no desire to bear such trials and fatigue any longer.
Thus, Ha Eun-eung made up her mind.
Once her goal was achieved,
she would leave the palace without looking back.
“Prince? Sorry, but it’s an order from the elders. I can’t give you the ticket...”
She couldn’t accept being held up by some street vendor’s ticket deal,
so she didn’t hesitate to jump over the counter,
brandishing her sword at the vendor’s neck.
Only after this did everyone realize her intent.
“Mother?”
“Ah, I see. The noble lady has hidden great strength beneath her beautiful appearance.”
“Wendigo, I like strong humans.”
“....”
