October 13th, Year 1782

A panicked Eunuch Yoon enters the great hall and bows in respect to the king as the ministers all look at him with confused expressions.

Yi San slightly glares at the eunuch and leans on his throne. He was about to speak and scold his servant until the eunuch beat him to it and announces.
