Jang Ok-Jeong
I will not consume anything
Despite the protests of my new court ladies

Giving each other worried looks as they do as I order

As soon as I am prepared the doors to our bedchamber open
Thinking of what lies behind the walls makes me waver
"Lady Jang?" Says one of my court ladies
I nod taking a step forward
