Van Thomas has just inherited a house from his late grandparents in the countryside and has moved into it--only to realize the house is a rather popular resort that serves all kinds of customers all year round. As the owner and manager of the building, he realizes that the inn caters to an unusual clientele, and has an even more unique staff. His secretary is named Daji. A pirate named Waverly Leviathan with   resemblance to Poseidon often stays. Daji's nephew often stays and calls himself Sun Wukong. A novelist and screenwriter, Athena, is working on a masterpiece. Then there's the CEO named Odin and his twin sons named Loki. Could these mythological connections be more than coincidence?

I've learned not to dismiss Kryptosia's suspicions. Red Bamboo definitely seems shady. "I understand. We'll keep an eye on him. Honestly, he seemed like he was playing both sides--the emperor's and the farmers'."


Kryptosia grins. "Permission to shadow him when you don't need me? And when i say shadow, I mean that he'll never see or hear me."


"Be our guest," Daji replies around a mouthful of duck congee. "Go see what he's up to."


Laying aside her napkin, Kryptosia floats out of our imperial quarters. 


Tina hands me the thick book on the Honeydrop Phoenix, and I open it to read over breakfast, with Daji and Tina reading along with me on either side and Baby Krak listening as I read aloud.
