#2 System was Activated :) ~~~

{Requesting host (Jude Dire) for permission to activate System~~~}

Without thinking much, Jude casually threw out a word, 'Use.'

{System has recognised special keyword~~~
Activating system... 5%...10%...}

'What. It actually worked—'

His thoughts abruptly morphed to silent screaming as a few scrambled images were forcibly inputted into his head. He staggered, trying to learn on a wall.

{Activating system... 90%...100%...
Ding! Ding! Ding!~~~
System is now online! :) ~~~}

Jude found himself covered in cold sweat once the pain eased. He wobbled to his feet, sorting out the images in his head. After a while, he was in a daze.

'This is...'

{System is online! :)~~~
Host (Jude Dire) has received the gifts for complete activation!
Congratulations ~~~
Would host like to check present list?}

'... okay.'

He wondered what those jumbled images were and guessed that the present list would have a clue.

{System has received permission!~~~

A very long list showed up in front of Jude that made his head spin. It was going to be one long first day in the world...

—————

In the Imperial Harem, the only Princess Consort of Seokwang's Emperor, Wang Yu, was throwing a tantrum. Her name was Lan Qing and she was the princess of southern Seokwang. She was often referred to as the definition of patience. To make such a lady angry, the cause was indeed not simple.

"Too busy to see me!? This is the exact same excuse he has used the last 6 months!" Lan Qing angrily spat, throwing all the decorations off their stands.

Even if she was strong enough to bear the fact that the King rarely came to her palace and preferred to frolic around with the other members in the harem, even if she had the foresight to think about such matters before her marriage, never once, in her wildest dreams, had she thought that the man would ignore her presence completely after meeting his latest concubine.

Her personal attendants panicked as Lan Qing stepped onto the broken shards of a vase.

"Madame Lan! Be careful!"

"Why should I?! He has not once come to see me for the last half year! Even! When! I! Almost! Died!"

With each word, she smashed another fragile ornament.

The attendants were aghast. They had no idea how to quell this person's anger. Especially since it was the first time they were seeing their calm mistress explode in rage like this.

"Madam Lan! Quell your anger!" An attendant clamored pointlessly. Another one ran away from the scene to report to his majesty.

As the attendants were too busy trying to stop their master's destruction, they didn't notice the brief moment when her eyes glew red.

At the beginning when the new concubine arrived, she had held no malice toward the latter and even welcomed her with open arms. However, the way the other treated those who welcomed her was beyond being ungrateful.

The previous week, the lady had dared to poison her. Yes, a commoner with no connections dared to poison the princess consort after entering the palace. Even though the benevolent lady had reported the matter more lightly in order to avoid blaming the concubine who may have been blackmailed, the king refused to hear it.

The thing which drove her highness mad was the fact that her husband, Wang Yu, had become so infatuated with the poisonous lady that he only listened to one side of the story before deciding the punishment.

"The victim of the crime had been punished!"

"With such a way of judgement, the country would surely fall into the hands of the corrupt officials who would destroy the kingdom!"

"It shows that no matter how much military strength one has, incompetence is incompetence!"

Those were the rumors floating outside the palace.

She gritted her teeth. This had been a harsh slap to reality.

She had been blind to marry such a man before!

At this rate, the country was bound to fall into ruin!

She had to escape.
