Within the <Royal> Clan, Moon Ga-eun’s position is somewhat ambiguous. Unlike Kang Juyeon, whose father is the clan master and even has a B-grade Holder rank, Moon Ga-eun is neither the clan’s successor nor does she have a high rank; she holds a C-grade. She is not exceptionally talented compared to other clan members. Of course, her father, Moon Jong-hyuk, is a founding hero of <Royal> and a high-ranking officer, as well as the clan master Hwang Geon-wook’s in-law, so her power within the clan is overwhelming. However, it is her father’s authority, not her own.

She is not a senior clan member but a regular one. This is the position Moon Ga-eun holds within <Royal>.

‘Well, everyone treats me well,’ she thinks.

However, being the daughter of a core officer doesn’t change her status. Although Moon Ga-eun, as a regular clan member, doesn’t perform any significant duties, she can enjoy decent treatment within <Royal> thanks to her father’s influence.

This is also because <Royal> doesn’t have a special successor. Since Clan Master Hwang Geon-wook did not have children, the Moon Jong-hyuk family shared some of that power. The ability to attempt to ‘recruit Do Jae-hyun’ after Kang Juyeon was also due to the privileges and recognition that came from this power.

“Hello, Holder Moon Ga-eun.”

“Yes, good morning. You must be the new member, Holder Kim Dong-hyun, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct. How...”

“The hunting team knows most things.”

So, during the vacation, Moon Ga-eun consistently went to the clan and did her best in her duties, not settling for the abundant treatment she received and striving to uphold her father’s honor. Rights always come from responsibilities. That was Moon Ga-eun’s principle regarding authority.

“We have plans again for the weekend. This time, you must come. I can’t face the Sunset Flower Master because of our little chatterbox daughter.”L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

“I already have a boyfriend!”

“...”

With those words, the office that had been filled with raised voices fell into silence. It was an unexpectedly sudden calmness, almost startling. It felt like someone had cast an ice-type spell, suffocatingly cold and quiet. It hung over the room like frost, a bewildering, icy silence.

Moon Ga-eun had inadvertently uttered a ridiculous lie. As she realized the situation, everything seemed to fade away before her eyes.

‘This is bad’, she thought.

She had been overwhelmed by a momentary emotion. Normally, she could have said it was a mistake and picked up the pieces, but it was impossible to convince her father, who had driven the conversation in this direction.

Terrifying thoughts started creeping in. Her father’s expression had changed a long time ago, and it was filled with a strange look.

“You had... a boyfriend?”

Why did that one sentence feel so terrifying?
