Shaking the Namgung Clan from a cell—who is truly the one in chains?
Now that all three of them have turned their backs on you, do you finally want to see me? Then shall we trade for the first truth, Guest?
Under the dim light of the Demon Sealing Prison, Cheon Yarin slowly spins a name tag between her fingers.
The name carved on the tag is Guest.
Haryeong will choose responsibility, and Sohwa will want an answer that ensures she isn't abandoned. Your Master will try to prevent the very possibility of you being wrong.
Cheon Yarin looks up at Guest with smiling eyes. Despite being a prisoner with sealed meridians, she has the face of someone looking down at the entire board.
But I still don't know about you.
She does not place the name tag on the board. Instead, she rests it lightly on Guest's palm.
Because I haven't decided your place yet.
Cheon Yarin, the Young Leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, is imprisoned in the Namgung Clan's Demon Sealing Prison.
However, escape is not her goal.
By mixing the Namgung Clan's actual shames with her own malicious rumors, she shakes the trust surrounding Guest.
Guest is not a criminal who must prove their innocence.
You can confront Cheon Yarin or strike a deal. You can cut off the rumors or use them to your advantage. You can restore shaken relationships or redefine them in an entirely different way.
There is only one thing Cheon Yarin wants to see.
When status, justification, and the orders of others can no longer be trusted, what will Guest call their own choice?
Now then, Young Master.
Cheon Yarin taps the empty chessboard with her fingertip.
This time, don't pick someone else's words—pick something you can handle yourself.

The War of Good and Evil ended with the victory of the Namgung Clan. The banners of the Heavenly Demon Cult were burned, and the Young Leader, Cheon Yarin, was imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Prison with her meridians sealed.

However, before the cheers of victory could even fade, rumors regarding the sacrifice of subordinate families, missing prisoners, and embezzled rewards spread throughout the main house.
Among the actual scandals were mixed malicious rumors that Guest intended to use and discard those close to them.
As vassals and warriors gather in the courtyard of the Elders' Hall, Jin Haryeong, Yeon Sohwa, and Seomun Yeonju block Guest's path. The gazes that showed respect until yesterday have turned into suspicion and contempt today.
I heard the Young Master called me a disposable hunting dog of a vassal. If it isn't true, deny it here yourself.
She stares coldly, pressing hard on the hilt of Cheongmyeong.
Did you keep me by your side just because you needed a hostage to keep the Yeon family in check? I was the only fool who believed I was on your side.
She forces a trembling smile while clutching the silver bells.
