Sarah, thanks to Yoon's consideration, took on various chores for the Ha family, and she learned more about them.
The Ha family had a much higher status in Yeongchun Kingdom than she had thought.
The fact that the head of the household and the little lord were both trusted as the King's swords.
That was enough to elevate the Ha family, which had been famous for its integrity for generations, to the top family in name and reality.
"...Did you get away with it again this time?"
“That's right. You abandoned the Yeon clan and saved my neck.”
"What on earth is the Yeon clan...!"
"Keep your voice down, Ha Yoon."
Sarah, who was sweeping the yard with a broom, turned her gaze to where the conversation was coming from.
Then, she saw Ha Yoon and the head of the household talking about big and small things in the pavilion in the garden.
Sarah clicked her tongue before Ha Yoon, who had noticed her gaze, turned his body and turned his head toward her.
She didn’t forget to mutter with a slight sneer,
“You’re still young.”
Believing that morality, trust, and punishment of evil will be upheld in this world is so...
“You’re young, what’s that? You’re the youngest here, you idiot!”
“Ouch!”
Thud!
At that moment, a loud voice was heard and someone slapped Sarah on the back.
She screamed and reflexively turned around to see Shin-oh, the chef and most powerful man among the servants of the Ha family.
The old man clicked his tongue and nodded.
“If you’re done sweeping the front yard, go sweep the back yard too. Bring a broom and pull out some of the plants you planted in the garden on your way back.”
“...The garden is right when you open the kitchen door.”
“So what?”
“...Yes.”
Sarah replied in a gruff voice and nodded.
Shin-oh kept nagging her about the leaves still on the ground before he left and then disappeared.
Sarah was absorbed in punching the air at Shin-oh’s back.
‘Did you come with me for nothing?’
She came here because she thought it would be harder to work at a government agency like the other beggars, but for some reason, this family wouldn’t leave their servants alone.
Sarah sighed deeply and walked to the backyard.
“...Pfft.”
“What’s wrong, Yoon?”
“Ah. It’s nothing, Father.”
Yoon, who had been watching the whole scene out of the corner of his eye, let out a small laugh.
Ha Ga-ju was surprised at that sight and asked with wide eyes, but Yoon simply shook his head and lifted his teacup.
His warm gaze followed her small back.
‘Wouldn’t it be the right choice to run away now?’
Late at night.
Sarah frowned seriously in the corner room without falling asleep.
Even after sweeping, she had to work without rest until the sunset.
The Ha family was full of people who strictly followed the strict order of the head of the household, “Those who don’t work, don’t eat.”
"Ha Yoon, you seem to have a lot of ruthlessness, so I came here. Do you think you make people work more mercilessly than some government agency?”
Sarah, who was groaning, swallowed a sigh as she thought about this.
“But there’s no guarantee that other places will treat you better than here. Right now, everyone is hushing me because I’m a Ha family employee...”
The moment Sarah left the Ha family, there would be many people in the world who would be looking to kidnap her. They just couldn’t touch her because she was a Ha family servant who was so clean and pure, and famous for being the King’s Sword.
Unless she plan on using magic to sweep away the guys who rush in and live in the middle of the chaos, it was inevitable that she would have to hide her abilities to some extent.
To do that, she needed the glory of the Ha family, at least for now.
'Let's go... '
She had no intention of leaving, after all. It was just the same old complaint she made every night.
Sarah grumbled that her back was aching because of Shin-oh and crawled back into bed.
But the next moment.
"...!"
Her head snapped toward the window.
Sarah glared at the window, still in the same position she had been crawling back into bed, alert.
'... Just now.'
Wasn't that Shin-oh's scream?
That was the moment she thought that.
Bam!
The door to the corner room opened and a calloused hand covered her mouth.
Sarah instinctively elbowed the man, who had come running at her and was about to use magic.
"No Name, it's me."
A soft voice pierced her ear. Sarah, who had been glaring fiercely, stopped.
Only then did the hand covering her mouth and nose fall away. The thick, bloody smell that had been blocking her hand rushed to Sarah’s nose at once.
“What is this...”
A mutter escaped through her teeth.
Sarah, her face pale, slowly turned around.
Then, Yoon, who was covered in blood and struggling to hold onto his sword, forced the corners of his mouth up and whispered.
“Listen carefully.”
“Master, your wounds...”
"It's a name that suits you well."
"Is that so?"
Yoon laughed softly.
Snow was still falling in the sky.
Yoon stopped walking, which had not stopped the whole time, and turned his back on Sarah and looked up at the sky.
The sight of white breath leaking out from the side of his long, black hair stuck to her vision.
“Yeon.”
“...Yes?”
“Do you know why this place is called Yeongchun Kingdom?”
Her name, called by Yoon’s voice, felt unfamiliar, and strangely ticklish.
Sarah flinched and asked back a step later.
However, Yoon soon continued, perhaps because he didn’t expect an answer.
“The winter here is harsh, but the spring that comes after the winter is beautiful and long.”
“...”
“That’s why lovers often use words that refer to spring when expressing their love.”
Yoon turned around after saying that.
His light brown eyes were as affectionate as when he was young, but other than that, he had changed so much that he could have been a stranger.
His height had grown significantly, his shoulders had broadened, and his neck and jawline had thickened.
Sarah felt a new sense of ‘unfamiliarity’ with Yoon.
At that moment, Yoon took off the black coat he had been wearing and put it around Sarah’s shoulders.
He suddenly met her gaze and smiled kindly.
“I want to welcome the coming spring with you.”
“...”
“How about you?”
The moment she heard those words, she couldn’t help but gasp.
For a moment, many questions flashed through her mind.
Why did he bring up such things right after telling her a story about lovers?
Why did he suddenly use a different tone?
Did he mean that he didn’t want to remain in a simple master-servant relationship with her?
In fact, Sarah didn’t know what Yoon meant.
She had been through too much to do that. She just wanted to deny it.
There were still so many memories from her past life that hadn’t healed yet that it was burdensome.
So Sarah bit her lip once, took off the clothes Yoon had wrapped around her shoulders, and took a step back while holding them in her hand.
“...I’m sorry.”
Sarah bowed her head deeply and held out her hand holding the clothes.
Yoon, who had been silent for a moment, seemed to take the clothes from Sarah’s hands, and then put them around her shoulders again.
“You must be cold. Wear it.”
“My lord. I...”
“I understand what you mean. However, even if it is selfish, I do not want to see you suffering from a cold.”
“...”
“Please.”
Feeling her nose tingle, Sarah unconsciously raised her head.
Then, just like before she had said no, Yoon’s smiling face came into view.
At that time, Sarah had not been able to face his smile, so she tightly shut her eyes and turned her face away.
However, thinking back later, she should have taken in more of his smiling face.
That was the last Yoon she had ever seen.
“...”
Sarah sat blankly in front of the door and stared at what the palace men were holding in their hands.
The one holding Yoon’s neck glanced at Sarah as if he was curious and coughed.
“His Majesty said that the matter of the household was truly regrettable. Did you really think that the king of Cheongna would send back the head of an envoy who had come to seek peace and declare war?”
“...”
The Ha family had a much higher status in Yeongchun Kingdom than she had thought.
The fact that the head of the household and the little lord were both trusted as the King's swords.
That was enough to elevate the Ha family, which had been famous for its integrity for generations, to the top family in name and reality.

“Listen carefully.”
“Master, your wounds...”
“Hide in the closet, and when all signs disappear, get out of here and go to the inner room. If you lift the scroll there, there’s a secret passage behind it. Go through there...”
“What are you talking about, right now!”
Sarah unconsciously shouted.
As soon as she smelled the blood, her heart started pounding reflexively.
It was not an instinctive anxiety, but rather a learned anxiety.
But Yoon kept his faint smile on and calmly muttered,
“You didn’t see anything.”
“...”
“You’re smart, so you should be able to figure out who the attackers are without much difficulty. But forget about it.”
“...”
“Forget it and run away. You shouldn’t have been involved in this place in the first place. So run away quickly.”
Yoon laughed without a trace, telling her to leave him behind and live.
The moment she saw that smile, something inside Sarah sank.
She lowered her head and muttered as if gritting her teeth.
“...Raise.”
“Huh?”
“What are you talking about, right now!”
Sarah unconsciously shouted.
As soon as she smelled the blood, her heart started pounding reflexively.
It was not an instinctive anxiety, but rather a learned anxiety.
But Yoon kept his faint smile on and calmly muttered,
“You didn’t see anything.”
“...”
“You’re smart, so you should be able to figure out who the attackers are without much difficulty. But forget about it.”
“...”
“Forget it and run away. You shouldn’t have been involved in this place in the first place. So run away quickly.”

The moment she saw that smile, something inside Sarah sank.
She lowered her head and muttered as if gritting her teeth.
“...Raise.”
“Huh?”
“When do you say that when you eat from the same pot, you’re all family?”
Yoon blinked, unable to understand what Sarah meant even amid the tension.
In fact, the words Sarah had uttered had come from Shin-oh’s mouth, but he didn’t have the energy to explain that.
A shadow silently approached through the wide-open door.
For a brief moment. Sarah, who had been thinking hard, grabbed Yoon’s arm.
Yoon was flustered and tried to open his mouth, but Sarah’s sharp eyes spoke first.
“Keep it a secret.”
“What...”
Boom!
But before he could hear the answer to his question, the masked man who was about to stab Yoon in the back with his sword broke through the wall and was thrown out.
The head and wife of the Ha family lost their lives that day.
However, paradoxically, Yoon’s reputation grew even more.
When the Yoon family attacked, most of the family members were unconscious after being attacked.
Everyone else lost their lives.
That’s why people naturally thought that Yoon had defeated dozens of assassins alone.
Only Yoon and Sarah knew the truth about that day. Because Sarah wanted it that way.
Anyway. From that day on, Yoon became the head of the Ha family, and instead of relying on Yoon for food, clothing, and shelter, Sarah pretended to be his confidant and took care of the assassins.
That implicit symbiotic relationship continued for a long time after that.
Until the boy became a man and the girl became a woman.
Sabak-
The sound of two footsteps echoed through the snow-covered bamboo forest.
Now, a voice with an extremely low resonance that showed no trace of youthfulness rang out softly.
“No Name.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Normally, she would have answered insincerely, asking why he called her again, but somehow Yoon’s mood was completely different from usual.
Sarah answered politely as if following him.
Yoon laughed briefly, perhaps because it was funny, and continued.
“You..."
Yoon blinked, unable to understand what Sarah meant even amid the tension.

Sarah answered politely as if following him.
Yoon laughed briefly, perhaps because it was funny, and continued.
“You..."
“...”
“Do you plan on returning to your hometown someday?”
Sarah raised her gaze that had been down.
Then, through the fluttering snow, she saw Yoon’s back, wide and wrapped in black clothes, unlike when he was young.
Sarah fixed her gaze on Yoon’s back, remained silent for a moment, and then answered.
“I don’t know.”
At first, she simply thought that she had crossed the sea, as people said.
But there was no such thing as 'twisting' here.
The world of monsters and people was not separate and connected, but rather mixed together.
Because of this, even Sarah couldn't be sure whether this was her original world or not.
That meant that even if she wanted to return to Elvares, there was a high probability that she wouldn't be able to.
Of course, that was a secondary issue.
Sarah had no intention of returning to Elvares, at least not yet.
Yoon hesitated after hearing her words and then parted his lips.
“No Name.”
“Yes.”
“When I first met you, when you had a really good relationship or family, I told you to get a meaningful name for them.”
“Yes.”
“If you don’t plan on returning to your hometown, and... if you don’t plan on having enemies anywhere.”
Yoon paused for a moment and asked.
“Would you mind if I gave you a name?”
“...”
Sarah’s shoulders jumped up for a moment at those words.
She was a little embarrassed, but she didn’t necessarily have to refuse.
In fact, Yoon was the only person in Yeongchun Kindgom who had a connection with Sarah.
Furthermore, she could hear traces of his worries in his voice.
She didn’t want to refuse and embarrass him.
Based on those thoughts, Sarah nodded.
“Do whatever you want.”
“Do you plan on returning to your hometown someday?”
Sarah raised her gaze that had been down.

“Do whatever you want.”
“Your answer is too soulless. If you don’t want to, you can easily refuse.”
“No. The grace of the young master, no, the head of the household, is as touching as the sea.”
“...What good is it if you just combine the words that were taught to you without a soul? I'm sorry."
Yoon burst into laughter, and his back also shook. Sara also snickered.
Soon, Yoon stopped laughing and spoke calmly.
"Yeon."
"..."
"I will call you Yeon."
"What does it mean?"
"It means to continue."
It was a short statement, but the meaning contained within it was affectionate.
Somehow, her heart felt like it was tickling, but Sarah unconsciously suppressed that feeling.
She changed the subject as if denying her feelings.
"What does your name mean, Master?"
“It means to become a person who seeps into everyone like a drizzle.”
“No. The grace of the young master, no, the head of the household, is as touching as the sea.”
“...What good is it if you just combine the words that were taught to you without a soul? I'm sorry."
Yoon burst into laughter, and his back also shook. Sara also snickered.

"Is that so?"
Yoon laughed softly.
Snow was still falling in the sky.
Yoon stopped walking, which had not stopped the whole time, and turned his back on Sarah and looked up at the sky.

Sarah sat blankly in front of the door and stared at what the palace men were holding in their hands.
The one holding Yoon’s neck glanced at Sarah as if he was curious and coughed.
“His Majesty said that the matter of the household was truly regrettable. Did you really think that the king of Cheongna would send back the head of an envoy who had come to seek peace and declare war?”
“...”
“Um, but. When I heard from those who returned alive, I heard that the King of Cheongna asked for you to be handed over as proof of peace, but Ha Ga-ju refused, and that’s how things turned out...”
After that, the palace messenger continued to speak, but Sarah couldn’t hear it.
Her ears were ringing.
‘I shouldn’t have sent you alone.’
Yoon went to Cheongna alone out of consideration for her. He had left her here on purpose, worried that her, who had rejected his confession, would feel uncomfortable.
Sarah laughed like a crazy person in front of those who were debating whether to catch her or not. She lay down on the dirt floor and let out a sound that was neither laughter nor tears.
She said she didn’t want to be hurt anymore, but in reality, she had already grown attached to Yoon.
It was also very cruel.
‘Why ..’
Anger suddenly welled up in her. Sarah dug her nails into the ground and ground her teeth.
Why do I have to go through this again?
Still unable to let go of her attachment to humans, and although she often said she would be alone, in the end, she wanted to be by someone's side?
'It's my fault.'
At that moment, every bit of humanity that remained in Sarah's heart was cut off.
Her eyes, finally letting go of all attachment and greed, became empty and lost their light.
After that, she killed all those who tried to capture her and ran to Cheongna.
After much struggle, she barely succeeded in beheading the King of Cheongna, but even she could not hold off the endless surge of soldiers alone.
'Ah...'
Sarah fell down on the pile of corpses and exhaled thinly.
Then a white smoke like a ghost rose from her teeth.
A tear flowed down from her empty eyes.
"The winter here is harsh, but it is said that the spring that comes after winter is beautiful and long."
'It's winter.'
With the last touch of snowflakes falling on her cheek, her breath ceased.
Her world seemed to have stopped in winter forever.
“Sylvia.”
Until she met someone who smiled like spring again.
After that, the palace messenger continued to speak, but Sarah couldn’t hear it.
