CHAPTER 22: Your Father or Your Fiancée
The second destination was the Museum of Ancient Scrolls Unlike the previous destination, the cotton plantation, the director careet us personally Of course, he paid no attention to me
“Your Majesty, we are tremendously honored by your visit”
From what I’d heard, the Director of the Museuh rank socially I did not kno old he was, but that was becauseafter thirty I’ that they retained their youthful appearance until they died There was the individual difference, of course Hwan-Seong, for exaer than the others, in the reflection of his ical brilliance The caretaker of the cotton plantation had a very aged appearance, which revealed how terrible his ical poere
The three of us, Hwan-Seok, Gitae and I entered the museum
“What a surprise that you are acco a princess on her excursion, Your Majesty”
“She’s not a princess”
“Excuse me?”
I cringed Oh no!!! He wouldn’t!
“She’s a Mutt”
I would expect the director of the museum to be a very learned person Tothe comment literally I’m a person, a princess!
I went to the museum, which was a repository for ancient docue on display Tourists turned to look at irl in a e of two—no, three—males that I was nobility
I was given a guided tour from the director
He said, “We have been unable to decode these,” indicating some documents
So they had failed to decode…Which ones? These? I took a closer look, and the script was familiar to me
It was Korean! Yes, indeed it was The script they had been unable to decode was Korean
The script they had been unable to decode was Korean “We believe that it in of ic” He explained
Gitae seemed interested and asked, “And hoere you able to deduce this?”
“We are coic It is highly likely that this docuic we currently use, which is why scholars deduce that it her order of ic”
That’s absolutely correct museum Director!
Hwan-Seong nodded with a serious look
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
“I’ry”
Hwan-Seong did not seem to have the did not seeic or this advanced order of ry, Mutt?”
No, I’m not Didn’t you just stuff yourself senseless? And can’t you drop that nickna -Hee!
“Your Majesty,” I said
“What?”
“Can I say so to you?”
“What is it?”
“I…I think I can read this”
A higher order of ic? bollocks This document was in Korean
It said: “What I did today: The weather was clear I fought with Dad today But I didn’t lose ood kid”
This wasn’t even worth being in a museum exhibit It was just a little kid’s journal It ritten by a little kid who
lived in the olden days
“Kids these days…They weren’t how they used to be”
It had to be three thousand years old at least So, if this were three thousand years old, it seeo had nothis news, rushed to the scene in a helicopter”
He was acco-Hee?”
I had to be cautious and avoid showing off too much It was risky for a princess to appear too exceptional because shethe boys
I said, “I think I’ve lost htened—maybe I’ve been possessed by a demon!”
Well, the truth was that it wasn’t a derooman
“Princess Sang-hee, you’ve already proven your genius If you can really read it, please tell us what it says”
I read it line by line Alex turned crimson and he seemed quite taken back
“How can this be?”
The three palace scholars were all shocked
“How can she decode it just like that?”
“It looks like we’ve finally found athis”
“It’ll take some time, but it’s possible now! This is the discovery of the century”
It was truly very ical skills, were unable to read Korean But they also gained the ability to decode it as I read off the lines They learned to decode as I read it to the, I had awakened them to Korean
“Princess Sang-Hee, you really are the Kingdom’s treasure”
The museum director’s jaw dropped open Gitae was equally awestruck To call any girl the Kingdom’s treasure was absurd
Hwan-Seong seemed to be quite tickled by this “A treasure? No, she’s a filthy mutt!”
