Startled by Seol Jihu’s unexpected movement, Eun Yuri hurriedly attempted to twist her arms.

However, being completely drained of energy from the intense training, her fatigued body did not move as she wished, causing her to be caught in Seol Jihu’s hands.

Seol Jihu’s lips curled up into a mischievous grin.

"Jeez, why are you resisting so much… It’s a gift, you know?”

Eun Yuri glared at the chuckling Seol Jihu, but she could only dumbfoundedly stare as a ring was slipped onto her finger.

"It’s all done now. Congratulations.”

Seol Jihu patted the back of Eun Yuri’s hand.

She had a rare, perplexed expression as she stared at the silver ring on her finger.

Sure, giving a ring as a present was fine and all, but her face said she could not, for the love of god, understand why it had to be her left hand, and why he had to personally put the ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

"You worked hard. Get some rest now."

Eun Yuri glared at Seol Jihu with narrowed eyes, but Seol Jihu paid no heed to it. Instead, he even winked at her.

"Oh right, don’t be too surprised. There might be another person there, but she’s a queen, so don’t be too disrespectful.”

Leaving behind words she didn’t understand, Seol Jihu walked out, waving his hand.

"…"

Eun Yuri stared at her left ring finger for a long time before shaking her head. She then let out a long sigh before quietly closing her eyes.

And when she opened her eyes again, a new world was spread out in front of her.

"Welcome!"

"Come here! Hurry up and come!”

With two girls wearing pointed hats welcoming her with outstretched arms.

The next day.

Seol Jihu’s...
