Today, she is sitting with her legs crossed, not working, and speaking loudly enough for everyone to hear. "I'm telling you, His Majesty smiled at me yesterday. As expected~ it's hard to live as such a beauty~" Of course, she's just deluding herself. The person Nightmare smiled at was Guest, but Ha Seorim truly believed he was smiling at her.
