In May of the 9th year of King Sejong's reign (1427, Year of the Fire Pig), an incident occurred where Seo Dal, the son of the Minister of Justice Seo Seon, severely injured the glassmaker Pietro.
The beginning of this incident was truly absurd.
The reason was that Raphael and Pietro had passed by Seo Dal without any courtesy while he was walking down the street.
"Did you see that audacious fellow? Do they even know who I am? Bring those rascals here at once and make them pay!" At Seo Dal's command, the steward, who was accompanying him, stepped in to stop him.
"Master, they are foreigners. Haven't you heard the rumors? The Crown Prince cherishes them!"
"I don't want to hear it! No matter how much the Crown Prince cherishes them, such rudeness cannot be overlooked! Bring them here immediately!"
"Master."
"Quickly!"
With Seo Dal's order, the steward sighed softly and gestured to the servants following behind.
At the steward's signal, the servants grabbed clubs and chased after Pietro and Raphael.
"Stop!" Without thinking, Pietro and Raphael, who were heading towards District 51, began to run as soon as they saw the men with clubs charging at them, not even looking back.
"Run for your life!" Raphael shouted at Pietro while they ran for their lives.
