Inside the estate within the Yahwol Palace,

a white flag fluttered magnificently, marking the location.

The estate belonged to one of the four families personally granted honor by the General.

Possessing significant military power and several commercial districts, it wielded considerable influence.

This was also the residence of Baek Wol, the head of the Baek Family.

The Baek Family was a noble lineage established with the General’s blessing.

Among the families, the Baek Family held purity of bloodline as paramount.

In other words, hierarchy within their domain was strictly enforced.

Purity was law.

This was a principle the Baek Family upheld, and within this estate, anyone not of pure blood dared not raise their head.

In such a place—

Step. Step.

Someone was walking through the corridor.

A man in neat clothing with long hair tied back was moving at a leisurely pace.

Despite being tied, his hair was so long that it dragged along the floor, sweeping it as he walked.

However, his physique was unimposing.

He had a slim build, and his frame seemed almost too delicate for a man.

There was no aura of intimidation.

He looked like someone who could be knocked over with a mere nudge.

“…Haaah…”

“Haaah…hh…”@@novelbin@@

Inside the estate, everyone lowered their heads as he passed.

None dared to meet his gaze.

And yet—

“Hmm-hmm-hm~.”

He paid no attention to their deference, instead humming a tune as he strolled slowly.

At every step he took, those around him lowered their heads even further toward the ground.

They all knew.

This was the only way to avoid incurring his wrath.

After walking slowly for some time, the man suddenly stopped.

“Hey.”

He spoke in a soft, low voice.

“Aren’t you going to open the door?”

“…!”

The person sitting nearby immediately sprang to their feet.

They quickly grabbed the handle of the large door in front of them and began to open it.
