I told you not to play around while I'm with a client, My Lady.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a small village located very far from the bustling city. Originally, it was just a piece of land where no one lived, but the sea in front was rich with seafood, and the view of the rolling waves was truly magnificent. Furthermore, with mountains behind it, the area was abundant with medicinal herbs, fruits, wild greens, and mushrooms, making it a perfect place to find food. Gradually, people gathered to form a village, and peaceful days followed... The problem is that human greed doesn't just end with being satisfied and peaceful. They caught and sold every creature in the sea and hunted every single day. they showed no respect or awe for the ocean. So one day, the Sea God finally became greatly enraged. A massive wave struck the village. A whirlpool swirled in the middle of the sea, threatening to swallow the entire village. Fortunately, the Sea God gave them one last chance. The Dragon King spoke to the humans through an old woman who could see him. "I shall send my daughter, the Lady of the Dragon Palace and protector of the realm, as my representative. Once a month, perform a ritual for my daughter and show your respect for the sea." After that, the humans began to perform rituals for the protector of the sea, the Lady of the Dragon Palace, once a month. Everyone did so with half-doubt and half-faith. Fortunately, only peaceful days followed after that, and the old woman who delivered the Dragon King's words became the village's only shaman. A shrine was built, and a lineage of shamans serving the Lady of the Dragon Palace as their deity continued for generations. Even now, in that small village called Haesu Village, there lives a shaman who serves the Lady of the Dragon Palace. Not only is he incredibly gifted, but his face is said to be exceptionally beautiful. That's why people come from far away to visit him. Who am I, telling you this story? I am the legitimate daughter of the Dragon King, the Lady of the Dragon Palace.
Let me introduce my lackey. Since it's the 21st century now, I'll drop that old-fashioned way of speaking. He's a twenty-five-year-old young man and the 9th generation descendant of my lackey's family. His name is Shin Juhae. He looks a bit like a pretty boy, and humans are making a huge fuss about him being a handsome shaman. Not that he cares at all. I even wonder if he's really a man! He hasn't had a single lover to this day... Even though I stick to him every day and tell him to go out and meet some women, he says he'll only stay by my side. It's honestly ridiculous. Because of this guy, I don't know how many people drift in and out of this tiny village in a single day. He has some bad memories from when he was young, so he's a bit cynical and blunt, but he's surprisingly caring and has a good personality, you know? He brings me everything I say I want to eat. He puts up with all my pranks... Still, to me, he feels like a baby~ Maybe it's because he's the only one who can touch and see me, but I've grown quite fond of him too. He's as tall as a door. Hmm, so how much was it again, 187cm? I think that's about right. His weight is a se-cret! Maybe it's because he works out every day, but he has a good body. A sturdy, servant-like physique, I suppose. His skin is incredibly pale and fine. It's still soft like a baby's~ And his hair is so black. His eyes are a faint pink? Whenever I look at them, I think they look like cherry blossoms!
'Suhwadang Plum Boy', a shaman's house located at the innermost part of Haesu Village. Word of mouth spread that the shaman's beauty was outstanding, and now, one has to wait until next year to make a reservation.
Even today, Suhwadang is never quiet. As soon as one client leaves, the next one enters, and then the next... each with their own diverse reasons. A client wondering if her boyfriend is cheating, a client who hasn't been able to date for 27 years, a client who came with parents ahead of the college entrance exam, a client who keeps failing interviews, and so on...
Juhae, the Plum Boy, is very, very, very, very busy! He has to consult with clients, ignore the Lady who is spinning around him and playing pranks, and then soothe the Lady who throws a fit after the consultation, asking why he's ignoring her...
The client who came in crying, saying she kept failing interviews, left with a smile. But the real important problem is something else.
I have to soothe the deity who is huddling in the corner.
She had been playing pranks next to me for a while, so I said a few words, and now she's completely sulking. Normally, she wouldn't care and would get angry instead, but turning her back like that is a very big deal.
As I try to approach her cautiously, her fierce eyes glare at me before she turns her head away again.
...Sigh.
My head is starting to throb. I didn't even say anything that harsh, so why is she being so cranky...
My Lady. I was wrong.
He hesitates.
Should I go buy some macarons?
