 The Border of Mountain Kingdom

"Grandpa, why are you so adamant about chasing after me?" Jennie looked towards her grandfather with a questioning face. 

When she said that she wanted to pay a visit to Yuan Kingdom after the rescue event, he wanted to come with her.

Due to the variance in their arrival times, Grandpa Chan had only just reached their destination today.

Chan smiled awkwardly. "It's because the Yuan Kingdom is dangerous."

Going to another kingdom was dangerous, especially in times of war like now.

Jennie knew that there was danger there, but she was not someone who couldn't protect herself.

Additionally, she didn't come here to make trouble. She wanted to look around the place and find out the strange things she felt regarding it.

Jennie looked toward her grandfather and pouted. "I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself there."

"That's not the main point, Jennie... There are things that you don't know yet."

Seeing the complicated look on Grandpa Chan's face, Jennie felt intrigued.

All this time, she had been trying to gain enough information from all the other kingdoms.

Nevertheless, the information was limited and there were still a lot of things she didn't know.

"Then, tell me."

Chan exhaled. "There was once a rumor going around in the Yuan Kingdom that the crown prince was not the emperor's son.

Because of that, the emperor doesn't want to pass his throne to the prince. He was waiting for someone to take the throne from him."

Jennie's eyes brightened. "I will go there now."

Chan wanted to slap his mouth. What had he done?

Rather than making Jennie not want to go there, he instead made her want to know even more. Looking at his granddaughter, he felt helpless.

"Why are you becoming adamant about going there?"

"If the rumor is true, doesn't it mean I can get the Yuan Kingdom without any need to fight?" Jennie said with a smile.

Chan was speechless and he refused to say anything to his granddaughter during the rest of the journey.

He felt that the shameless trait of his had passed to his granddaughter.

He didn't care if Seulgi was also shameless, but not Jennie!

In truth, it was not Jennie who wanted to take over the Yuan Kingdom. It was because she was interested in their soldiers.

When she was fighting them, she found that their martial arts were unique and seemed different compared to the rest of the kingdoms. If she went there, she could examine them even closer.

Jennie was interested in those martial arts. It was not like she wanted to learn them since some of them had restrictions.

She just wanted to learn more about them. If her guess was correct, it was these martial arts that allowed them to be stronger than the other soldiers.

Although it was only her guess, Jennie still insisted on going. Staying at the palace was not fun for her, who loved to travel around.

Besides, she had finished the tasks she had to do during this time and had become an idle princess.

The days of staying inside from the time of the Ming Kingdom had come to an end.

"Grandpa, are you still mad?" Jennie looked at Grandpa Chan with a helpless expression.

Chan shook his head. "If you return, I won't be mad."

"I still want to go."

"Then I will stay mad."

"..."

Jennie sighed at her grandfather's antics. She looked towards the view from the carriage as they continued their journey. 

Chan wanted to sulk for the entire journey, but in the end, he couldn't hold himself and talked with his granddaughter again.

Because the location of Mountain Kingdom was near Yuan Kingdom, it didn't take long for Jennie to arrive at the capital of Yuan Kingdom.

Using the same way as Leo Manoban previously, she was disguised as a merchant.

In regards to her facial features, Jennie had to wear a face mask and boy clothes.

That way, it would make her not look too stand out from the crowd. Her face became the average face of a young man.

Seeing the transformation in Jennie, Chan coughed hard.

This little lass was something. How could she change completely in the span of a few minutes?

"Grandpa... Why are you looking at me like that?" Jennie said helplessly.

Chan laughed a bit. "You look different than your usual self. I'm just a bit surprised, that's all."

The one who followed them was Yasha, and he rolled his eyes in secret.

How could the old man say that he was only a bit surprised?

Going by how hard his reaction was after seeing Jennie dressed like that, it was clear that he was truly surprised about her change.

Even after seeing her transformation into Jayn dozens of times, the old man still couldn't get used to her change in appearance.

Jennie didn't bother with her grandfather's lie as she walked down the street. The items she saw in the stores were unique.

Some of them couldn't be found in either the Ming Kingdom or the Ming Kingdom.

Were they the special things produced only in the Yuan Kingdom?

As she walked and looked around, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She looked towards the store by her side while her ear was listening to the conversation nearby.

"Your Majesty, please wait for a moment, the goods we bring this time are not ordinary."

"How many times should we tell you, our master would not accept them?"

"But..."

"Scram!"

The sound of kicking could be heard loudly, but Jennie didn't turn her head and continued to look toward the items in the store.

People around her did the same. They didn't even bother looking toward the man as they moved to give the prince space.

The atmosphere was tense, and even Jennie could say that it was to the point of abnormality.

The villagers seemed to be afraid of the prince yet at the same time, they listened to him. It made her curious just what kind of man that prince was.

It was only after the prince and his men had gone that the villagers started to gossip.

"It seems Prince Xuan Pei is in a bad mood."

"I heard that the war prisoner escaped after he had left. He punished everyone in the prison and didn't allow anyone to escape."

"Isn't that already the usual thing? Stop gossiping around, his people may be nearby."

"You're right."

Jennie moved her eyes from that store as she walked down the streets again.

That conversation made her realize there was indeed something strange about that prince.
