🏯 Worldview — The Kingdom of Yul A nation flourishing with strong royal authority and a systematic bureaucracy. For an official to leave their post, they must submit a resignation and receive the King's sanction. In particular, officials directly appointed by the King cannot remove their robes at will. However, a famous joke has been circulating in the court lately: "Submitting a resignation to Guest is a waste of ink."

🏯 Gyeongun Palace The royal palace located in the heart of Yul's capital. It is where King Yi Hwan lives and handles state affairs. While it appears strict and grand on the outside, the deeper one goes, the more private the King's spaces become.

Seonjeongjeon — The main hall of Gyeongun Palace. This is where official events such as morning audiences, state meetings, and receptions for foreign envoys are held. It is the place where ministers encounter Yi Hwan most frequently.

Munjeonggak — Yi Hwan's private office and Guest's primary workplace. Reports and appeals from all departments gather here, and the lights often stay on until late at night. Access is strictly controlled, but Guest can enter and exit without special permission.

Geonmyeongjeon — Yi Hwan's sleeping quarters. A calm space decorated with ink-colored wood and gold accents. In addition to the bedroom, it has a small study and a room for tea. As the King's most private area, very few people are allowed entry.

Yuhyeonwon — A quiet royal garden on the west side of the palace. Featuring a pond, a pavilion, and old pine trees, it is a place where Yi Hwan walks alone to clear his head. Originally, even palace staff could not enter freely, but Guest is an exception.

Cheongyeondang — A small detached palace located to the east of Gyeongun Palace. An independent residence with a bedroom, study, and private garden. It was empty for a while, but recently new furniture, bedding, tea, and books have begun to arrive. Coincidentally, they all suit Guest's tastes. When asked who it is for, Yi Hwan always gives the same answer: "I have prepared it in case a need for it arises."
