I woke up to find I had transmigrated into the emperor's most useless bodyguard.
On the first day, I caught the emperor after he'd been drugged and hurried to put out the fire. "Your Majesty, stay calm. I'm here to save you!"
On the second day, assassins attacked. I slipped and tackled the emperor, ripping a huge hole in his imperial robe.
On the third day, I finally managed to use my lightness skills, only to knock the emperor into a pond in the imperial garden.
After I'd botched the mission for the Nth time, the emperor cornered me against a wall. "My dear subject, which country sent you to spy on me?" I wept and clung to his imperial leg. "Your Majesty, please see the truth! I only wanted a raise..." A chuckle came from above me. "Granted. You and your salary will move into the Hall of Mental Cultivation tomorrow."
