The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

chapter 1





< When I woke up, I was a 4-year-old in another world >

* * *

It was about an hour ago that the electricity in the company building suddenly went out.

Since it was a hot summer, it seems that the electricity usage increased rapidly and there was a load somewhere, or the old electrical wiring eventually broke.

The electricity was cut off and there were no broadcasts, so it is not known exactly.

It was just that someone had gone downstairs and picked up the story, and they were talking like that.

“ha···. hot.”

Jeong Jin-young sighed at the air that was choking his breath.

Earth’s summer is getting hotter and hotter.

Could it be because of the warming?

Maybe it’s because the Amazon jungle is shrinking.

In any case, it must be because humans have damaged nature.

Humans are eating nature.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be this hot if the air conditioner didn’t work for just an hour.

I left the window wide open, but the only thing that came in was a hotter wind than inside.

I feel like dying from heat

It’s not a joke. It’s real.

I really think I’m going to die.

Jung Jin-young leaned back on the chair and sat down. It felt like my backbone was missing.

Everyone else in the office was also sagging like salted cabbage.

All water comes out of the body. The sweat looked like water.

In the end, even before 12 o’clock, the colleagues started to find an air-conditioned building outside on the excuse of eating.

Jeong Jin-young also got up from his seat slowly.

Anyway, let’s get out of here.

I went out of the office, but the elevator didn’t work.

Well, since there is no electricity, it must be natural.

You have to walk down dozens of floors.

People were sighing and heading for the stairs.

A long sigh flowed from Jeong Jin-young’s mouth.

Jung Jin-young passed through the hallway and headed for the emergency exit.

It was the moment when I was about to step on the stairs and go down.

someone called his name

“Jinyoung Jeong!”

Habits are scary.

Involuntarily, he turned his head.

With my feet in the air, I twisted my body forcibly, losing my balance.

It was stupid, I thought a beat later.

But regret it, the bus has already left.

The body was slightly tilted back.

I hurriedly tried to correct it, but my body, which was limp due to the heat, couldn’t move in time.

Uh, uh, but my gaze turned to the ceiling and my body floated.

People’s screams were heard.

‘sh*t!’

it’s X

now only twenty-eight.

A year ago, I had a girl I like.

It was three months ago that I appealed from the people around me, blocked the approach of other men, approached slowly while receiving support from women, and set the timing and confessed.

The woman who was trying to run away with vague answers was pushed gently for several months, and she managed to get a good answer.

that was two days ago.

The first kiss was also the same day.

I was excited to start dating from now on, but this is it.

Damn it! damn it! A f*cking world!

I was swearing in my heart, but once again my whole body was shocked and my eyes went dark.

The last thing I thought about was how funny it would be to fall down the stairs and die like this.

In the future, people at the company will think of him like a joke.

Ah, back in the day, there was a very funny death. No one pushed me, but I fell down the stairs by myself and died. Isn’t reality more fun than fiction? ha ha ha. There are such funny deaths in this world.

* * *

visor! visor! visor!

How lost were you?

Somewhere there was the sound of iron striking hard.

noisy.

I still have a headache from falling down the stairs, but I think my skull is splitting because of that sound.

But if that’s all you need, you’ll be fine.

Because the sound of iron can be heard quite far away.

But someone was hugging him and crying right over his head.

“young master! young master! Alas, Bocchan! Come to your senses.”

A woman was squealing as she tucked his head in her thick breasts.

It was a voice that sounded like an old man.

The throat is big.

The woman’s voice seemed to echo directly through her skin.

‘Please stop! far···. please step away from me Your voice makes my head hurt, but I feel like I can’t breathe because it gets stuck in my chest.’

But the woman’s breasts keep her mouth shut. Of course I couldn’t tell.

“Ugh…”

He groans and wriggles his arms.

I tried to push her away with my hands, but I couldn’t move.

In addition, it is made of cast iron, and women’s strength is their business.

He was on the verge of dying from lack of oxygen.

‘Keahhhhh… really die Air…give me air.’

I survived even falling down the stairs, but if I die for such a funny reason, I don’t think I’ll die even if I die.

As I struggled with that thought, the woman pulled away as if she had noticed only then.

He gasps and blinks his eyes.

At first it was dark, but it gradually became brighter.

Recognizing the face of the person in front of him, Jung Jin-young’s mouth fell open.

A woman he had never seen before was looking down at him.

But I am not Korean.

was a foreigner.

The light eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and the long nose bridge was straight down the center of the face.

It was a hook nose.

I’ve seen it occasionally in movies, but it was the first time I’ve seen a nose like this in person.

my nose is crooked Besides, it’s ridiculously long.

The woman’s bronzed hair was pulled up tightly and hidden under a strangely shaped hat.

The hat, as large as his head, was made of black shiny fabric.

I think he was forty or fifty.

She was a well-fed woman.

Overall, it was on the chubby side, and above all, the chin was double.

amazing.

I also saw a double chin for the first time.

The woman was wearing a dress of sturdy looking fabric.

The hard brown fabric tightly wrapped around the body that was about to explode.

However, the upper part of the dress, which strongly pressed against the body, was completely open.

The chest is only half way in.

The top of her chest was inflated like a balloon and overflowing over her clothes.

It was a very thin cloth that gently wrapped around the chest.

As if a large handkerchief was wrapped around the neck, the pleated fabric came down to cover the chest and was tucked into the dress.

It is the appearance of a noble lady in medieval Europe that can be seen in paintings or movies.

cried the woman with a sorrowful face.

“young master! Are you hurt anywhere?”

‘young master? me? Could it be that everything the woman cried and said was directed at me?’

no, that’s really weird

he is twenty-eight

I wasn’t old enough to be called a young master.

It’s not even like that in the first place.

Jung Jin-young blankly looked behind the woman.

There was a steep, narrow staircase behind the woman.

Oddly shaped lanterns are scattered on the brick walls. It wasn’t a torch, but it didn’t even look like electricity.

It was a corridor reminiscent of an old castle somewhere in a medieval movie.

In the right wall, large windows were pierced at regular intervals.

Through the window, I could see a high ceiling and a wide hall.

The hall was full of fighting soldiers.

The clashing of weapons was heard everywhere.

Jung Jin-young turned his gaze to the front again.

At the top of the stairs was a large arched window.

Through the window, I could see the blue sky reminiscent of autumn. Somehow it doesn’t look like summer.

On the steps near the window, several men dressed as medieval knights were fighting wielding swords.

Jeong Jinyoung blinked.

‘Where the hell is this place! Could it be that they are filming a movie?’

Suddenly, I thought so, but it’s not. I was at the company office a while ago, but I can’t be at the filming location all of a sudden.

rather···.

My God, no way, maybe, maybe…?

‘No way, did I come to another world?’

There were many stories like this in the novels I read briefly on the subway during my commute.

But that’s fiction.

There’s no way that could happen in real life.

Yeah, it seems like I’m dreaming.

Maybe now he is being taken away in an ambulance.

He hit his head hard, so he must be dreaming while he was being taken to the ambulance.

Yes, obviously.

‘Please tell me so.’

After a moment of silence, the woman hurriedly got up and took him in one arm.

“young master! Hurry up. The enemy has entered the castle. We need to get out of here right now.”

It’s okay because it’s a dream. You don’t have to avoid it. But is it really?

“…”

Jung Jin-young looked up at the woman’s face.

Beads of sweat stood out on his plump face. Veins are sprouting from the woman’s white skin due to tension.

Maybe it’s too real for a dream.

When our eyes met, the woman smiled as if to reassure her.

“It’s okay, Bocchan. Don’t be afraid.”

As I noticed now, the woman was holding a blunt-looking knife in her right hand.

Looking over the woman’s shoulder, she saw a man jumping down from the top of the stairs.

Bloodshot eyes stood in the man’s eyes.

It seems hostile.

The knife the man was holding was covered in red blood.

It’s real. The blood flowing down the stairs and the drops of blood spattering on the walls looked so real.

As the man approached, the woman raised her arm and drew a knife.

There was a loud sound as swords collided with swords.

As the swords collided vividly right in front of me, I finally realized that this was reality.

The man raises his sword high again.

The woman quickly hid Jinyoung behind her back and pointed the knife at the man as if slashing it.

However, the two swords did not collide.

The enemy’s body fell forward weakly, revealing instead a man in armor.

Unlike the other men, this man was wearing silver armor that covered his entire body.

Antique decorations are engraved all over the armor.

A long black cloak was draped over the man’s shoulders, and dark gloves were worn on his hands.

Beneath the nose, a well-trimmed mustache stretched out on either side.

He was a man who radiated the charm of an adult man.

Even if I don’t know it well, it seems to be a considerable status.

“Captain of the guard!”

the woman exclaimed in relief.

The man, the captain of the guard, nodded slightly to the woman, then got down on one knee in front of Jeong Jin-young.

“Little Master! The castle has already been captured. However, if you go to the office, there is a secret passage that leads out of the castle. I will take you there from now on.”

Oh, it was.

Now was not the time to admire people’s appearances.

I don’t know what it is, but right now he’s in the middle of a battlefield. Also on the side of being captured.

Until now, I think it was the feeling of watching a movie without knowing it.

However, when I heard the word “secret passage” in detail, I immediately came to my senses.

Jung Jin-young looked at the man’s back.

All the enemy soldiers who had been fighting until a little while ago were all corpses lying on the floor.

It looks like the captain of the guard has knocked it down.

I heard a woman’s voice right next to me.

“I will not accept you, Bocchan. Guard Captain, please take care of this knife for a while.”

As the woman said, she hugged Jung Jinyoung.

The captain of the guard picked up the woman’s knife and stood up.

“…”

I thought it was strange from before.

Because Westerners are taller than Asians, they can be taller than themselves.

But even taking that into account, these people were too big.

Besides, the woman lifted him up without difficulty.

Jeong Jin-young looked at the small hand that had been in his eyes for a while but had been trying to ignore it.

‘no way···.’

I try to wiggle my fingers.

The little white finger moved as he intended.

Seeing that it moved according to its own will, it was clearly his, but no matter how you look at it, it was a child’s hand.

“…”

Let’s say that I have yielded a hundred times and come to another world.

But I thought it would be a transfer.

I never thought I’d become a child.

To think that even in the middle of being captured like this, I became a child who couldn’t do anything…

Jung Jin-young saw the face of the woman who was running while holding him.

Hey, who’s the young boy you’ve been crying out for?

‘Who the hell have I become?’

And what will happen in the future?

For him who has lived in a peaceful modern world, wouldn’t this kind of dark fantasy reality be too difficult? The load is too heavy.

‘What can I do? Will I be able to return to Earth if I fall down the stairs once again?’

I hope someone can tell me the correct answer please.

I would love to go back if I could.

No, please return it.
