Why's the minister's residence so remote?

Quest Text Oh, how I wish I could go to Seoul,
feast on some yeot candy, and watch the street performances!

Summary Beats me. But it does seem odd, doesn't it?
He's one of the most powerful men in the country, right?
True enough, and that commute must be a real bear.
What made him settle down in this here spot for a house?
It's all on the account of his sick daughters.
Even the best healers couldn't do a thing for them.
From what I heard, he picked a far-off place
with clean air and fresh water for them. There's that Do school nearby too.
But all that don't matter much now *sighs*.
Life sure seems like a puzzle sometimes, doesn't it?
