"I will go take a walk around the capital." Da-hye said as she left the room that they were in. Dang-gu followed behind her. "I'm craving something sweet like treats."

"Ah, you can just get them here." Dang-gu said.

"No, I will not get them here." Da-hye said.

"Oh, all right then." Dang-gu said. "Will you get me seaweed cookies?" Dang-gu asked.

"Yes." Da-hye said. Dang-gu's favorite snack was seaweed cookies. "All right, I will see you later then."

As she was leaving Da-hye saw Sang-ho. Sang-ho was her uncle's assistant.

"What are you doing here?" Da-hye asked Sang-ho.

Sang-ho was a mage of Songrim who worked for Da-hye's uncle. A thought suddenly came up in Da-hye's mind.

"Are you here to see someone?" Da-hye smiled.

Da-hye had been trying to find Sang-ho a wife. Because otherwise he would end up old and lonely like her uncle.

"No, I'm here for you." Sang-ho said.

Sang-ho was just here to keep an eye on Da-hye. Her uncle was afraid that she would start doing reckless things, so sometimes he would send Sang-ho to keep an eye on her. Da-hye found it really annoying. She did not want someone watching her all the time.

Da-hye's smile faded. "I told you many times, you have to find a partner so you won't end up old and lonely like my uncle." Da-hye said as they both left Chwiseonru.

"So, why haven't you married anyone? Do you want to end up like the leader?" Sang-ho asked.

Everytime that Da-hye tried to find a wife for Sang-ho, he would always try to change the topic and find a husband for Da-hye. But, she didn't want to marry just anyone.

"This is not about me." Da-hye said.

"This is not about me ei...." Sang-ho was interrupted by Da-hye.

"Oh, what about the snack seller we saw the other day? She's pretty." Da-hye said. "No, I think the daughter of Dressmaker Cho is pretty. She's a few years younger than you."

"She is pretty, but I do....." Sang-ho was cut off again.

"Ju-wol! Do you like Ju-wol? She's pretty." Da-hye said.

"I'm not interested in marrying right now." Sang-Ho said. "What is it that you want to buy?"

"Treats." Da-hye said. "Maybe we'll see that snack seller again. Ask her for her name." Da-hye smiled.

Da-hye liked setting people up. It was like she was born to be a matchmaker. Sang-ho might have said that he didn't want to marry anyone at the moment but Da-hye saw the way he looked at Dressmaker Cho's daughter.

~~

"Gosh, you look so beautiful." Dressmaker Cho told Da-hye.

Dressmaker Cho and her daughter had come to Songrim because Da-hye needed a dress for a banquet she was going to.

"Look at this other beautiful dress." Cho Mi-hi who was Dressmaker Cho's daughter said. She was holding a white and light pink dress.

"Try it, try it on." Dressmaker Cho said.

Da-hye took the dress from Mi-hi. Just then, Da-hye heard the door open. She turned around to look at Sang-ho.

"The leader said he had prepared a dress for you." Sang-ho told Da-hye.

"He did?" Da-hye asked. She gave the dress back to Mi-hi.

"I'm sorry, these dresses are so pretty." Da-hye told Dressmaker Cho. "I didn't know that my uncle had prepared a dress for me."
