The story begins with Gyuri being punished by Madam Zhou.
Gyuri couldn’t understand why she was being punished and Madam Zhou explained that it was because of her poor behaviour towards the young master, Taehyung.
While Gyuri carried out her punishment, Taehyung eventually appears and taunts her, causing Gyuri to chase after him.
The pair engage in a scuffle until they were stopped by Taehyung’s older brother, Junmyeon. Junmyeon, or the third brother, calls for Madam Zhou and Gyuri is once again under the mercy of Madam Zhou’s disciplining methods.
The chapter then transitions to Namjoon’s point of view and how he is mulling over the prospect of war and what the new emperor will be like. While doing so, he suddenly gets distracted by the sound of muttering coming from the courtyard.
It was already night and by squinting his eyes, Namjoon manages to spot the profile of a young woman, carrying four buckets of water on both shoulders.
Later, Namjoon discovers that the maid that was being punished was no other than Gyuri. But before he could ask why she was being disciplined,Gyuri faints in his arms.
