Sponsored Content

TL/N: Sujebi is hand-pulled dough soup, or Korean-style pasta soup, is a Korean traditional soup consisting of dough flakes roughly torn by hand, with various vegetables.

It was raining outside.

Pitter-patter

Looking at the late spring rain, listening to the sound of falling raindrops made Luana want to eat something.
Luana jumped up from her seat and took out a pot and poured water.
After that, she prepared some anchovies, put it in the pot, and brought it to a boil in a short time.

She carefully scooped out the foam that rose up, seasoned the soup with salt, added some potatoes, and hand-pulled the kneaded flour, then she brought it to a boil.
She wanted to make the dough proofed, but it was not possible.
The sound of the spring rain was growing.

“If you eat well and then die, it’s fine.”

Luana hummed as she watched the thin dough rise and turn into a transparent milky color.
It seemed to be cooked.
But it would have been tastier if she added more vegetables.
She stared into the soup in regret.

Bang!

At that moment, the kitchen door opened and a middle-aged woman rushed in.

“Princess, something is wrong!”

“Oh, nanny! Are you going to eat too?”

Luana took out another bowl, filled it with sujebi and placed it on the table.

“Now is not the time to eat! The Imperial Army has invaded the inside of the Royal Palace! We must run away now!”

The nanny exclaimed in a hurry.

“No, I know that.”

Luana scooped a spoonful of the still hot Sujebi and blew on it before putting it into her mouth.
The sujebi, which had slightly absorbed the broth, made the texture soft, and just right for her taste.
The hot anchovy broth with softened dough went down her throat.
As she expected, the taste was delicious! She thought it would be better if there was some ripe kimchi here.

Watching Luana scooping up the second spoon, the nanny put on a look like she was about to faint.

“Why are you so relaxed?!”

There was no use running away.
Ttis kingdom will be destroyed anyway and all the royals will die, just as the story.
All royal family members will die, except one.
No matter how far away you run, they will catch each one of us and to a more gruesome death.

‘If I die again, I want to die as painlessly as possible.’

Luana pursed her lips and scooped out the third spoon.

Although she didn’t remember the novel title, it was a famous romance fantasy novel.
Luana was reading the novel before she died.

In the story, there was Ingrid, a beautiful princess widely known for her beauty.
She was the heroine of this story.
And in the Empire, there was a war-crazed Emperor who dreamed of conquering the continent.
He was the male lead.

At first, he invited Ingrid to be his concubine.
But Ingrid did not accept the proposal.
Yeah, the Emperor was a little too crazy for her to accept.
As soon as he ascended to the throne, what he did was destroy weaker countries and conquer them.

The Emperor, furious out of a single refusal, sent a Duke and his army to the kingdom to seize Ingrid’s kingdom and forcibly drag her away.
And Luana was born as one of the non-existent princesses in the story.
Growing up to some extent, she was so desperate to find out that this place was out of the novel.

But in the end she got over it! She decided to just give up and die.
She didn’t want to put much effort and time because she had lived very fiercely in my previous life.
She just wanted to live in moderation, eat what she wanted to eat, and stay.

‘By the way, the Emperor is really cheap!’

But that cheap guy is the most powerful person in this world, there’s nothing she can do about it.
Luana’s life was like a lantern before the wind.

“What should I do? I’m destined to die this way.”

“What?”

She died once already, and in this second life, she just wanted to die peacefully.

“Nothing.
But are you really not going to eat, nanny?”

“Do you still have the urge to eat in this situation?”

“Yes.”

Luana nodded her head and heartily ate the sujebi again.
A bowl soon came empty.

“I should eat some more.”

The still steaming sujebi was generously scooped out with a ladle and poured into a bowl.
The nanny, who was watching the figure, sat down across from her tiredly.

“Just give me one bowl.”

“Okay.”

The nanny was also given a bowl with a generous scoop.

“It’s delicious.”

“Of course.
Who do you think made it?”

“I thought you were a little strange for a princess whenever you made a dish that I didn’t know where the recipe came from.”

‘What? Did you think so? But not anymore, right?’

“After much thought, I really think you are quite strange.”

The nanny shook her head and ate the sujebi.
They ate while listening to the sound of raindrops coming from outside, so no side dishes were needed.
The two quickly emptied the bowl.
They felt better now that they were filled.

Great, now, even if she dies today, there will be no regrets.
Luana patted her round, swollen stomach.
Then the door to the kitchen swung open.

“Here they are!”

A soldier holding a blood-soaked spear shouted, and a knight in armor approached.

“Where is the princess?”

The knight shouted to the two with a fierce expression.
Luana and the nanny exc
