Liang Meili was Seung Nyang's younger half-sister, She never knew who or where her father is yet all she has left of him was a necklace that matches her father's and a family name Liang. Meili and Nyang wandered around the city as a beggar disguised...
Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long, I didn't think that it would be that long but that writer's block happened and gifs that won't work, so it took me a while but here we are (there's only one gif in this chapter because the rest didn't work) again sorry for keeping you guys waiting
"Drinks on his Lordship. Enjoy, Let's drink" "Cheers" seeing that their all having free wine while my sister is sleeping, I wonder if I should check on Nyang right now "Myung, you should have a free drink and relax, your brother will be fine" I looked to see that Jeom Bak-Yi tries to offer me with some wine. I shake my head and said "later, I'll check on my brother right now just in case" Jeom Bak-Yi then sigh just got up and walk away from him I then mid-stop and turn around and then said "but if he's not awake then I'll come back for the free wine" Jeom Bak-Yi then smile while I head inside then he yelled out "I'll make sure that I'll save a bottle or two for you then" I smiled and laughed a bit he better keeps his word when I come back I then continue to walk till I reach to the room that both Nyang and his lordship are, just as I was about to open the door, I then heard music coming from the room but it suddenly stop, only two voices. I then realize that she would possibly try to kill him, once I open the door and close the door behind me, I then looked up to see that his lordship was playing geomungo but right now my sister is most defiantly awake and standing while the lord is on the ground, both looking at me but then Nyang turns her head and said "Enjoy your harp and your 'chicks'. They suit you better" she was about to leave until the lord get off the floor and said "Did you forget the match? You and your brother are my servants" Seung Nyang looked like she was ready to kill him, I don't blame her for that "I say go, you go. Stay, you stay. I own the both of you." Nyang then turns her head to look at him and said "Try your luck with a mutt. I'm a Jackal and he's the Sparrow" I was about to open the door so that my sister and I can leave the room yet his lordship then said "All right. Be my younger brothers than" I froze yet I turned my head to look at him while Nyang did the same only little bit "I'll tell you something, my best friend is none other then... The Crown Prince." Nyang then looked at him with no emotions "So that's the same as you having a crown prince as your elder brother, still want to leave?" Nyang then turned around fully and said "Crown prince, Crown Putz, either way. I'd rather eat horse dung than trade, my own people, as concubines" his lordship was shocked then he folded his arms and said "You have lots of bitterness towards the world" can't say I don't blame her for that "Because it's rotten to the core, royal parasites that sell themselves like courtesans are the worst kind" she then took one step closer to him and said "Any more out of you and it won't be a lid next time, it will be your head" I then open the door to leave the room while Nyang grabs her bow and arrow and left the room as well.
Outside
Nyang and I are finally outside of the bar yet I didn't get free wine, thanks a lot Nyang. I sigh and been thinking about what are going to do now until Jo-Cham appeared out of nowhere and grabbed both me and Nyang, I was actually surprised to see him again. Nyang then asked, "What are you doing here?" Jo-Cham had the are you serious look and then said "What are you doing with them?" Nyang then looked away for a moment then said "An archery match. Who are they?" "Did they ask about the salt" Nyang then sigh and said "not even once, are they investigators" I then looked at Jo-Cham and he said "His Majesty wouldn't like it, don't see them again" Nyang and I then nodded and said it at the same time "Right." she then left while I stayed a bit before going after her "I made sure to listen to each and one of their conventions yet nothing, one thing I know for sure is that they are pretty tight lip about it" Jo-Cham nodded and I left to go after Nyang. Just I was about to call out my sister I suddenly bumped into someone and I landed on the ground, I looked up to see another lord yet the only difference is that he has make-up on him wait why is he wearing make-up "My apologies, I didn't see you there" he then lend his hand out "let me help you up" I was pretty confused about why he would be kind to me instead of scolding at me but either way I then accept his hand and he helped me up then later dusted out the dirt on me while I still was confused, I then said "It's alright, I didn't look where I was going either my lord" I then look over his shoulder to see that Nyang was worried for my safety, I then turned back to him and said "I must get going now, hope you have a lovely night my lord" I bowed my head to him a bit for now and walked towards to Nyang.

"My lord, are you alright?" he turns to his servant and said, "I am fine for now, but for some reason, he looked so familiar" he then turned back to the person that he bumped into for a moment where did he got that necklace is the question, but I'll find him again later but right now, the crown prince is going to be so much trouble when I find him then back to his servant with a smile "come now, we have a meeting with the crown prince" he and his servant then head to the very same tavern that both Nyang and Meili were and left.
A few days later, at the lantern festival
I couldn't remember how long has it been since we last went to the lantern festival together, I turned to Nyang to see that her smile even though that his lordship has brought us along to the lantern festival, I still happy to see her smile once again, yet for some reason, Nyang didn't let me go to meetings with her for many days but I always managed to get the information with or without her knowledge. I stood alongside Nyang and started to pray and wished, I then hear his lordship asking Seung Nyang about what did he wish for, knowing Nyang she told him why would he care. It only got a bit funny when he said "A pretty little wifey" I then rolled my eyes then smile, Nyang then said "Wife, pssh" she then walked a bit further away from him and looked at the streets, he then followed her and said "Why not? Men like women, it's natural" he then stand next to her and continue "see anything you like, tell me and I'll..." "I wished for money" I then walked next to her and said "I too wish for money" the lord was in disbelief and said "Money, money. That's all you two talked about" "it's the only thing you can trust" Nyang then left my side to walk a bit further "You two had a rough life" Nyang then suddenly turn her head with worry look and run to protect me and his lordship yet an arrow shot her leg. I then suddenly looked at the mysterious archer, when the archer shot another arrow I pushed his lordship to Nyang so he could protect her while I rolled to the other side, the mysterious archer missed the shot and left the building. Once I've got up from the ground, I then immediately turned to see that there's indeed an arrow on her leg "You all right" Nyang didn't turn her head to him but said "I'll live" she then broke the arrow in half and tries to walked it off despite that his lordship offering himself to carry Nyang on his back yet she kept walking, he then unexpected picked Nyang up and carry her in his arms. Nyang then started to demanding to let go and ask for my help which I won't since she have shot on the leg "Sorry brother, but your leg got shot and your leg is bleeding, so it probably for the best that he carries you while I keep an eye out for that archer just in case" then we all walked back to the very same tavern while Nyang didn't stop telling him to let go.
"Hang on, We're here" I then saw the very tavern and for once I just glad to see his men are still here but also the strange lord with makeup is here as well and Jeom Bak-Yi still owns me bottles of wine but that doesn't matter now, what matter is to see if Nyang could survive at least. His lordship and Nyang then went inside of his room along with the strange lord with makeup, "Myung, what happened" I didn't turn to Choi Moo-song yet I told him "someone sent an assassin to kill him but Seung Nyang saved his life but the assassin escape and Seung Nyang got shot in the leg". A couple of minutes pass by yet it feels like hours when the door open, I turned to see the same strange lord with makeup and saw me then walked towards me and said "your brother will live for now" I smile in relief then thank him and left him to go to my sister only to see that she slap him, I wasn't surprised that she would do that but seeing that he ripped a hole in her only pair of pants and she slap a noble lord just great, not only that I have to stitch that later, she slapped a noble lord "It's my only pair, You ripped it. Pay up" the disbelief didn't leave his face nor mine and he then said "What?".
End of Chapter 3 at long last, Chapter 4 coming soon...
