“G-Greetings to the Clan Head!”
The servant hastily bowed.

At the very moment Namgoong Mucheon’s gaze landed on the cloth, Seop Mugwang arrived behind him.
“Whose blood is that?”
At Namgoong Mucheon’s question, the servant answered in a trembling voice.
“I-It belongs to the honored guest.”

“Explain clearly what happened.”
The servant bowed even lower and continued.
