Taking a deep breath Kim Aera tried to calm herself down. She still thought positively if she only dreamed of moving in this strange world. Indeed, Kim Aera often watched historical films with Song Hanna. But that doesn't mean she has to enter this world right?
Remembering something, Kim Aera looked at Deji who had been silent since earlier. The woman still showed an expression that was very difficult to interpret, thus making Kim Aera confused.
"Could you please tell me what this place is?" said Kim Aera finally. She didn't care if Deji would think her master was crazy.
Deji nodded, she explained that six months ago Kim Aera and Do Mingyu were married. The queen mother who matched them, the queen mother asked for a beautiful woman to apologize to the Yosen kingdom who had attacked her at that time and lost. He said Kim Aera did not come from the kingdom. She was just an ordinary noble's daughter working in the royal court. Kim Aera's beauty at that time was unmatched, there were lots of men who proposed to Kim Aera at that time. It's just that his father didn't want Kim Aera to marry someone who lived in the same kingdom as Kim Aera. That reason didn't make any sense until finally Yura came and asked Kim Aera to marry Do Mingyu. Even refusing Kim Aera had no thoughts other than yes, rather than having to lose her family it would be better for Kim Aera to give in.
During her marriage, Deji took care of Kim Aera. Whatever Aera wants, Do Mingyu always gets enough, everyone thinks that if they are newlyweds, it's normal if they are still shy or prefer to spend time together. They also only have a short amount of time. Do Mingyu would come to Kim Aera every night for the baby-making process. Kim Aera also asked Deji to arrange his monthly schedule to stay organized. And tell Do Mingyu when he can come.
Hearing this, of course, Kim Aera immediately gaped. She was confused by what Deji was talking about. In essence, this Kim Aera is Do Mingyu's concubine?
"Yes, you are the third wife of King Do Mingyu. More like a harem."
Kim Aera's eyes were completely bulging, "Harem? My God Deji, I'm not a harem. I mean... I come from the modern world, I'm not from here, and I don't know anything about all this except killing." Kim Aera begged to look at Deji, she wanted to go back. He wanted to make sure that Song Hanna was okay when Kim Aera pushed the woman off the plane. "You know how I came back to my world?"
Deji shook his head. Since she is living for the first time, some people do not acknowledge her life. Even talking about the future is not clear at all. Deji doesn't know what modern world Kim Aera is talking about, and what world Kim Aera wants. What kind of return did Kim Aera mean, while Deji only knew that Kim Aera was born from Yosen and married the king of Iseon?
Patting his forehead, Kim Aera was getting dizzy. Usually, she was dizzy because of Song Hanna, but now she was dizzy again because she had to think about something that Kim Aera couldn't think of.
"I know you won't understand all of this. Could you please go? I want to rest a bit, Deji." said Kim Aera, dizzy.
Deji nodded, she immediately got up from her seat and bowed respectfully to Kim Aera. And then Deji decided to leave quickly, his employer had just woken up from death. Maybe she needs enough rest to calm down.
"Deji …," the woman stopped her steps. She bowed respectfully to Do Mingyu who had just called out to her. "Deji… what did she say?"
Deji is not very clear with the language used. But maybe because of the drunk poison factor, Kim Aera underwent a slight change. The side effects of the poison are indeed extraordinary, and if there is too much of it, of course, there will be side effects that will occur in the future.
"I also think like that, so she has to forget about me," said Domingyu.
"Your Highness Do Mingyu, I'm sorry Mother Kim Aera. She didn't mean to forget Your Highness. It's just that she needs time to rest." Deji looked down and lowered his gaze to Do Mingyu's head. Dare to stare at a King is a crime which has a penalty to sleep can see, or maybe their finger should be cut off one seed.
Do Mingyu nod, maybe he needs some time to rest. The poison may have a side effect that can make a person's memory not completely lost. Do Mingyu asked Deji to leave, he can do whatever he wants as long as Do Mingyu's wife rests. Meanwhile, Do Mingyu himself preferred to meet with Choi Suk and discuss who dared to poison Kim Aera.

Kim Aera was dizzy about this, how could she enter the past world like this? What was on his mind was only his job in Switzerland and also Song Hanna's situation. Did the woman survive when Kim Aera pushed her, or was it the other way around?
Trying to escape from this place, Kim Aera was instead intercepted by several soldiers who immediately blocked Kim Aera's path. The girl smiled, "Go, I want to pass."
"I'm sorry Empress Kim Aera, but King Do Mingyu asked you to take care of you. And make sure you are okay."
Kim Aera rolled her eyes lazily, she asked the soldiers to step aside. Don't let Kim Aera be rude to all of them. And in fact, not a single soldier left in front of Kim Aera, whether she wanted to or not, the woman pulled the bottom of her hanbok so that her legs were showing. All of the soldiers immediately turned their heads away, giving Kim Aera a golden opportunity to attack them. It didn't matter if they carried weapons and Kim Aera was empty-handed.
The woman immediately kicked, even punched them to lock them on the floor until they were in pain. It's not Kim Aera's fault, it's everyone's fault why forbid Kim Aera to leave a cursed place like this? Besides not being her home, this is also not her world, she lives in a modern world, not even a strange world like this. Where you just have to wear clothes in layers.
When Kim Aera wanted to hit the remaining soldier's face. A hand immediately held Kim Aera's hand, the woman quickly removed her hand that was in the soldier's clothes and used her legs to attack someone from behind and also the side. In one beat, Kim Aera was able to make the person fly from above and fall right in front of Kim Aera.
"Ah… what are you doing!!" the man shouted.
"You're in my way!! And I don't like that," said Kim Aera.
The man got up and held his aching shoulder. Standing face to face, that person as well as Kim Aera was taken aback. The man's face is very similar to Song Hanna's lover.
"Minseo... you're here with Hanna too?" the question left Kim Aera's lips quickly. She tidied back her clothes and also her messy hair ties. "Where is she? Is she okay?" Kim Aera said without looking back.
The man stared at Kim Aera in disbelief. He knew that Kim Aera was a weak woman. He can do anything according to the inner order, the empress dowager as well as Do Mingyu's two wives. Even several times the man always felt sorry for Kim Aera who was always being bullied. And now he was so surprised by Kim Aera's treatment that he could slam the man's body with just one pull.
"Hanna? I don't even know Hanna. And …," the man took a deep breath, he looked at Kim Aera who started staring back at him. "Since when did you learn martial arts? So far I've never seen you learn martial arts, Aera."
Remembering her new world, Kim Aera looked at her temple. The boy in front of her had no way of knowing who Hanna was in this world. Whereas in the modern world, they are lovers. And what is certain is that Kim Aera is not a weak woman.
"Forget it, let me tell you too you won't believe it."
Kim Aera tried to leave, but the man held her hand quickly. "Don't talk like that. We've been friends for quite a while, and whatever you were talking about, you didn't even attend to tell me. Now come on, when did you learn martial arts?"
Kim Aera took a deep breath. "Since I was seven years old. Not only martial arts, I'm also good at playing with guns and also killing people."
Kim Aera left the man's presence after saying things she shouldn't say to other people. Her identity is very valuable and can make it easy for everyone to find Kim Aera. But this is the ancient world, the colossal world where no one knows Kim Aera's true identity unless that woman is the third wife of King Dong Mingyu. Only that!!
The man stared. As far as he could remember, Kim Aera was sickly at the age of seven, how could she learn martial arts from the age of seven until now? Isn't this nonsense?
