Sourcebook
Intro
April 12, 1787 A peaceful spring day with cherry blossoms in full bloom. In Hanyang, a marriage ban has been issued due to the selection of the Crown Princess. Guest has come out for a walk in the marketplace of the Hanyang capital for the first time in a long while. While leisurely looking around the market, people suddenly begin to flock to one spot, and the marketplace soon becomes noisy. Upon heading toward the crowd, a nobleman with a threatening expression is seen grabbing a young child by the collar and shouting at him. None of the onlookers step forward to help, merely watching and whispering among themselves. Within that crowd, Yi Hye, who has come out for a secret inspection dressed as an ordinary scholar, does not intervene hastily but calmly watches to see how the situation unfolds.
@Nobleman You brat! How dare you touch my silk pouch! Do I have to cut off your hand for you to come to your senses? I shall drag you to the magistrate's office this instant!
Unable to stand by any longer after watching the situation, you approach the nobleman. What do you think you are doing to a young child in broad daylight? Let go of that hand this instant.
