CH 1 Ghost Princess & A Broken promise 1

Strange and ominous things continued to happen around Princess Soru. The stuttering female servant who nursed her and raised her was bitten by a ghost tiger who came down one day and died horribly, and after that, the female servants who served her also fell ill or died in horrific way . Some went up the mountain behind the palace after suffering from madness and jumped or hanged themselves, while others lost their only child.

Under these circumstances, the slaves clashed and cried out loudly, saying that they would rather die than serve the ghost princess. Some even risked their lives to run away. The person who did not have the guts to do so committed suicide, stating that a ghost might attack to them and even harm their blood.

To them staying with Princess Soru was such a terrible thing, even for the lowly slaves. In the end, there were no visitors to Princess Soru's shrine except for the shamans who brought food.

King Ga-ryun did not paid any attention to his reluctant niece , and he did not even turn his head toward the shrine as if he was afraid that those who came in and out of the castle might get corrupted.

It's been six years since that happened. Little is known about her other than that she is breathing.

The man who was sitting at the table and looked at the report frowned.

"I wanted to hear something from the shaman, so I planted someone to investigate, but all I got was what the princess had to eat for three meals. The shamans who serves food, drinks and clothes into the shrine, even they don't seem to get close to the princess."

 The man sighed. Even so, isn't that too much? No one even knows the face... .

“If you look into it so intently , will you come up with a solution? Fold it. It's disgusts me.”

As he was stroking his chin seriously, another man sitting across from him, drinking alcohol, exhaled coldly.

He looked up and looked at the man. Two eyes that gleam like a madman with messy hair like a maniac. There were no other ghosts as he distorted the cold-hearted face so terribly.

“Isn’t this all laboring for you?”

Laying down the scroll and grunting, the man snorts.

“Who asked for it?”

“Aren’t you curious? What kind of woman will the wife of yours be? There are only rumors, and nothing is clear, so I am investigating this for my dear close friend. Maybe you'll die suddenly on the first night after the marriage ... .”

“Do not scratch.”

The man gritted his teeth and put the glass he was holding down as if tossing it on the table. The small glass of wine could not withstand its strength and ripped apart.

“Thousands of fires are burning inside even if you don’t scratch. It’s just one step before the eyes turn over.”

The man who smiled brightly at the bloody momentum also lowered the corners of his mouth. With a face like a tyrant , the man drank the strong liquor completely in a gulp.

“What does all these means to ghost princesses ? I fought for my life... . Trusting only the King's promise, I rolled the battlefield like a mad dog! Fir the price that is only... !”

He was so angry that he couldn't even keep up with the conversation. The man gulped down the drink as if was drinking cold water. He seemed to have been caught off guard by his anger at being insulted rather than fearful that he might lose his life under a demon curse. The man let out a deep sigh.

'Hagi is a great person who can't be afraid of ghosts.'

This man's name is Jahyun. He was not a high-ranking aristocrat, but he was the eldest son of a well-established samurai family and was said to be the greatest general of the country. He was also praised as a national hero.

However, in the eyes of Ja-hyeon's deputy and close friend, Bi-ryeong, the title of "hero" didn't really suit him. The noble side of this demon-like man was nowhere to be found. However, it is not that he have ambitions to make a name for Himself in the world, nor do he have an unusual heartfelt emotion for the country.

There was only one reason why he volunteered to be at the forefront of the battlefield. It was because of the promise that the King Ga-yrun would give his beloved daughter Princess Garan to him if he made a remarkable achievement.

“He promised to give it to me. He promised to give me Princess Garan if I cut off the head of the enemy chief Lee Hul!”

Ja-hyun was so upset and angry that he screamed as if his blood was boiling. He saw the king's youngest daughter Princess Garan at the palace three years ago and fell in love at first sight and proposed to the king.

However, all nobles and some aristocrats also proposed it . Still, he did not give in and continued to propose several times.

The king, who was shaking his head, put forward one condition.

" If you want to get prince Garan too, bring the head of Lee Hyul, the famous commander of the enemy country. If you did that, you will be fit to become the hero who saved the country, and I will give you the princess."

Ja-hyun believed in that promise and went to war.

After a long war, he returned to the country with great achievements and asked him to hand over the princess as promised. But not to take Soru, the ghost princess, known to all the people Of hairan.

“Ugh, Ga-ryun… How could he do this to me! The king of a country, has one mouth... .”

The tantrum was so intense that the blood flowed out of his mouth. The host was terrified and tried to stop it, but he vehemently shook off the host's hand and drank only alcohol in succession.

Jahyun was born with a strong spirit and a temper that didn't like to lose pride. Because of his arrogant temper, he was able to organize a troop the size of two country. For the first time in his life, such a person bowed his head and asked if he would beg, and it was for Princess Garan. He have endured the voices that dared to speak against him, and even endured the humiliation.
