Berengar sat down in the dining hall of the Joseon Royal Palace. At his side was none other than Min-Ah, who stared angrily at her stepmother. The woman was quite beautiful despite her age and appeared to be the mother of at least five of Yi Sung-Jin's children. Despite this, she was still nothing more than a concubine, with the primary wife being seated next to the Joseon King himself.
Several of Min-Ah's sisters were equal to if not superior to her in regards to beauty, but Berengar took no notice of these young women, no matter how they might try to gain his attention. He already had enough women by his side, and had pledged to himself that Itami would be the last.
While one of Min-Ah's many sisters poured Berengar a glass of wine, the man himself was in the middle of a conversation with the Joseon King. For whatever reason, Yi Sung-Jin wanted to conduct this diplomatic meeting over dinner, rather than in a more quiet space.
