Chapter Eighty-five: The Auction

When Haneul got off the carriage, the first thing she noticed was the ginormous tree that was attached to the tavern. It must be why the tavern was named 'The Tree Tavern.' 

The Empress then cut off her daydreaming and stride towards the entrance with elegance and grace. And as expected, all eyes were on her. Ah, the attention. She somehow missed the palace as she disguised herself as a noble. 

The stiff and strict-looking guard was even agape by Haneul's presence, albeit the mask. And in a friendly way, he asked.  "Your pass, My Lady?"

Hearing this, Haneul faked a laugh as she slowly pulled out the emblem that was placed between her breast. "Ah. How could I forget? Here."

Haneul expected for the guard to be flustered. however, she did not expect for him to reach out her emblem. "T-thank you and enjoy the auction."
