If. Flowers in both hands (medium)
The wine glass filled with a clinking sound. There was a sumptuous menu on the luxurious table. The fragrant liquor aroma and the delicious smell of food mingled together, and chopsticks were passed around along with the drinking glasses. It was a drinking party that gave everyone the feeling that they were treating an important guest.
There was an old man sitting across from me. His white hair and beard testified to the turbulence of the years he had endured, and his eyes showed a spirit befitting his age. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary person, but his appearance and calm demeanor were not those of an ordinary person.
Although the outfit he was wearing was not flashy, it was made from the highest quality fabric. In Liyue, where mammonism is rampant, most people are anxious not to boast about their wealth. This was because he believed that it was directly related to his prestige and face. However, the old man across from me seemed to be trying not to show any signs of floating. There were only two types of people in Liyue who could do that.
Even if they do not boast of their wealth, they are famous people who enjoy great honor, or practitioners of Seonism who have transcended the world. The old man in front of me was one of the former.
“…… “Um, old man Cheonchu?”
I opened my mouth cautiously. The eyes of the old man called ‘Elder Cheonchu’ glanced at me in a slightly high-pitched voice. And he started clicking his tongue.
“You are a young man, but your memory is worse than this old man. “Didn’t I tell you over and over again that being ‘Uncle Cheonchu’ was enough?”
I looked a little perplexed at those words, but in the end, I had no choice but to sigh and nod. The other person was not someone I could treat carelessly, regardless of his age or status.
That’s right. This old man sitting across from me is Li Yue’s ‘Tian Chusheng’. He was a figure who led the Chilseong, the country’s leadership, and was a living legend in the political world who had protected Liyue for decades. His reputation and virtue were already widely known, and although the people of Liyue did not even know his face, they were full of praise for Tian Chu-sheng.
According to Monde, he is in the same position as General Barca, who went on an expedition, and is no different from the actual ruler of Liyue after the death of the King of Darkness. I wasn’t stupid enough to stretch myself in front of someone like that. It was a matter of courtesy before pride.
I shook my head as if I had no choice and opened my mouth again. The name had been modified.
“So, Uncle Cheonchu… “Do you like the meal?”
Still, he seemed a little dissatisfied with my tone of maintaining the extreme honorific title, but Cheon Chu-seong nodded. He had a mischievous smile as always.
“Yes, the food suits my taste better than I thought. Just enough to forget the hardships of the past few days.”
I kept my mouth shut at those words. I had nothing to say about that. Not long ago, after a piece of news hit Liyue politics, Liyue Chilseong had to struggle to sort out the confusion.
If you ask me what the cause was, it was me. No, to be exact, I wasn’t the only one with this problem. Chen Chusheng’s gaze swept over the protagonists of the rumor that shook Liyue’s political world, including me.
There were two women standing behind me. They were fidgeting about something, and when Cheon Chu-seong saw that, he burst into laughter as if it was amusing. For him, it was bound to be fun.
That’s because the women behind me were by no means formidable people from that perspective. They were big names who played a part in Liyue politics.
“Hyung Ok and Sister Gamwoo… When they said they were going to marry Geumrang (金狼), I wondered what would happen. “Seeing your cooking skills today makes this old man less worried.”
At those words, the two women called ‘Okhyeong’ and ‘Sister Gamwoo’ were startled and threw up their hands. Needless to say, they were ‘gakcheong’ and ‘gamwoo’, and were the general secretaries of Okseongseong and Wolhaejeong, the first of the Liyue Seven Stars, respectively.
The two suddenly announced their marriage. The other person was a big man who was the owner of a caravan from Mond and a financial advisor to the Knights of Pevonius. Putting aside the question of why a woman of the rank of Gakcheong or Gamwoo would become the wife of a man whom she had regretted, the news of the marriage itself was as shocking as a bomb being dropped on Li Yue’s political world.
It was an incident in which all the premises that had been considered common sense in Li Yue’s power structure collapsed. I was still the owner of foreign capital, occupying a threatening position in Liyue, and each office and Gamyu were known to have opposing political positions.
However, when the three are placed in a single frame called ‘family’, the story becomes complicated. Even in modern society, where the distinction between public and private life is relatively clear, blood relationships have important political value. This was especially true in Liyue, where family-centered politics took place where such distinctions were not yet clear.
It was no different from a complete reorganization of the power structure. Li Yue’s future was bound to change with just that small variable – which of the three of us would take the lead in this marriage alliance. Such an important event occurred suddenly. There were bound to be all kinds of speculations and rumors about this, and Li Yue’s political world naturally fell into chaos.
The person who took care of this was Cheonchusong, who can be said to be the seat of Liyue Chilseong. He had recently taken a step back from politics and was taking a wait-and-see attitude, but the confusion in Li Yue over the past few days was so extreme that he had to come back.
So, even though I had ten mouths, I had nothing to say, and each office and Gamwoo also had no choice but to be embarrassed in front of Cheon Chu-seong. The fact that the division was caused by a one-night stand of youthful energy was not something that could be said in front of someone who had not slept for several days trying to deal with it.
Gamwoo was the first to open his mouth. She spoke with a mixture of confusion and sadness on her face.
“Oh, speak low, old man Cheonchu. How could the head of Liyue Chilseong talk to a mere secretary…? ….”
“Isn’t Gamwoo now not the general secretary of Wolhaejeong, but Geumrang’s wife?”
At those words, Kamu closed her mouth as if she had nothing to say. Her face turned a little red. She had a shy, yet secretly happy face. She hadn’t had her wedding yet, but her future with me was a foregone conclusion. It was rare to realize that fact recently, but hearing such words from an old acquaintance like Cheon Chu-seong gave me a different feeling.
The government seemed to be displeased with the sight of Gamwoo’s sister like that, but since it was in front of Cheon Chu-seong, they did not make the mistake of getting into a war of nerves with Gamwoo like usual. Cheon Chu-seong couldn’t bear to see Gam-woo’s shy and shy appearance and burst into laughter.
“hahahahaha! Still, I think first love is good. Seeing that Kamwoo, who had said that she would remain Chilseong’s secretary forever, is unable to say anything…….”
“…… No, please don’t tease me. “Elder Cheonchu.”
In the end, Gam-u could not bear the shame and lowered his head. Her face turned bright red. She then took a step back, which seemed to be a signal to stop teasing her further. Cheon Chusheng, who was looking at the scene with a grin, turned her gaze to her second target.
It was Gakcheong who was looking at Gamwoo with disapproving eyes. Tian Chusheng called her out of the blue.
“By the way, Ok-hyung.”
“…… Yes yes?! Please speak, Elder Cheonchu.”
Gakcheong, who had been blinded by jealousy, was surprised and responded to Cheon Chu-seong’s call. She started to feel restless again. She heard from each office that she also received a lot of care from Tianqiu Sheng when she entered politics.
He was like a political father, so to speak, and I felt sorry for putting him through such a difficult time. He must have felt even more sorry for doing so even though he would have known well how to behave by the time he reached Liyue Chilseong.
However, Tian Chu-sheng did not look very angry. He picked up the glass, took a sip of the alcohol in it, and then quietly opened his mouth.
“…… “That was surprising. I thought you would be a bit political in your marriage.”
It was a simple impression. However, there was no question that penetrated the feelings of each office as sharply as that. In a way, it was a core part of the human nature of ‘each office’ that he showed as a politician.
Use everything that is available. What is important is Li Yue’s future, and for that, she was willing to burn her entire life. You could tell just by looking at her that she invested all her time in dealing with Li Yue’s big and small affairs, regardless of her hobbies or relationships.
For each government, nothing was more important than Li Yue. Even her own life was like that. Therefore, it was a widespread expectation throughout Li Yue’s political circles that she would also use her marriage for political purposes.
That might be why she did it. After the marriage of each government was announced, Li Yue’s political world was especially turbulent. Since this was a marriage decided by ‘that government’, it was natural to conclude that there must be some political purpose behind it. In fact, neither she nor I had any such purpose.
The announcement of my marriage was a big change for each office. So each office was unable to say anything to Cheon Chu-seong’s question for a while. She must also be confused as to how this happened.
But the worries did not last long. Gakcheong took a step forward and placed his hand on my shoulder. I smiled bitterly and gently placed my hand on his hand.
“…… “Because I love you that much.”
A simple, honest confession. At that one word, Chen Chusheng’s expression became blank for a moment. For him, the sight of each office making such a confession was very surprising.
Seeing that reaction, each office felt a little downcast. She asked cautiously.
“Are you disappointed? In the end, I am just an ordinary woman…….”
“No.”
However, like a seasoned politician, Cheon Chu-seong was quick to control his emotions. He answered in a stern voice and set down his glass.
“…… Rather, it looks good. hehehe, yeah. That’s how life is. I am glad that you have finally discovered the happiness of human nature. “You really like Geumrang that much?”
Gakcheong’s face turned red at those words. When I thought about it again, it seemed like it was a shameful confession of love. I thought that was quite cute, so I patted Gakcheong’s hand a few times and then said,
“Enough of that, Mr. Cheonchu. “My wives are also busy with work, so shouldn’t I just let them go?”
“Ha… Still, does this mean he takes care of his wife just because he is her husband? hahahaha, nice. “Then let’s talk with the guys.”
How did Cheon Chu-seong see me like that? He said he thought I was a little special. I was glad that he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood. These sentiments must have been the same for Gamwoo and Gakcheong as well, as they both breathed a sigh of relief and soon left the room.
I felt like I could hear some fighting from behind, but I decided not to pay any attention to it, as meddling in women’s fights would only cause harm. Instead, I raised my glass and announced my intention to make a toast.
The conversation with Cheon Chu-seong was enjoyable. He was full of energy for an old man, and had a pleasant and easy-going personality. He was someone I couldn’t help but communicate well with, so the drinking party that happened to be arranged was held in a surprisingly friendly atmosphere.
Putting all political issues aside, Cheon Chu-seong treated me with the attitude of an adult who only looks at his new husband. Starting with his family history, he even told me what to pay attention to when raising children. It was an experience that was not boring for me as it was interspersed with stories of his experiences that made me laugh.
Then the question was asked. Cheon Chu-seong asked me.
“…… So.”
With a blush on his face, as if he was a little drunk, Cheon Chu-seong opened his mouth. Instead of trying to drink, I turned my gaze to Cheon Chu-seong.
“Are you happy now?”
I was silent for a moment after hearing those words. I turned my gaze to the side, then looked straight ahead again. And I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yes, I think so.”
And my hour hand is pulled. That’s my life these days, yeah. I was happy in my own way.
**
When I opened my eyes, I felt a strange sensation. The feeling of something wet, of mucous membranes slipping. I realized that one part of my luxurious cotton blanket was bulging. When I gently removed the blanket, there was blue hair with the beauty of a jewel.
The horns, which were half black and half red, caught my eye. And the curves of the flawless white naked body and the mysterious purple eyes that can be seen at a glance.
She was licking my dick, which had become hard in the morning, with her tongue. She kissed him with affection, kissing him, then took him in her mouth and swirled her tongue around him. Then, as if she noticed that I opened my eyes, her purple eyes turned towards me.
As I stared at her blankly, my wife smiled her sly eye.
“Why did you wake up like this?”
She greeted me with a slurred pronunciation because she was holding my things. I wondered what to say about this surreal scene, but in the end I had no choice but to ask a simple question.
“Sister Kamwoo… No, thank you. “What are you doing?”
I almost called my wife by her old title, but was able to correct myself right away. I thought I was used to the title by now, but in this dream-like situation that greeted me right after waking up, it seemed like my brain couldn’t even function properly.
In response to my question, Gamwoo only then took my object out of her mouth. Huh, the hot, wet breath touched and dispersed my object. My object, which was soaked with saliva, was giving me a slightly cold sensation as soon as it was exposed to the outside air.
Kamu tilted her head with a questioning look, as if he was asking an obvious question.
“So, you’re serving?”
“No, I mean… ….”
I was wondering how to answer that innocent question, but ended up sighing.
“…… Why are you acting like this since morning? “You had enough fun yesterday, right?”
At those words, Gam-u looked puzzled. She asked back in her still innocent voice.
“But I heard that men like this kind of thing.”
I was silent for a moment. What Gamwoo said was not wrong. The scene of a beautiful woman volunteering in the morning is probably one of the things that many men dream of. I was just a little embarrassed, but I felt good.
So my tone was not more forceful. The end of my words became blurred.
“That’s true, but… ….”
“Then, shall we continue?”
And Gam-u kissed my object once again, saying, “Okay.” And I felt a warm, moist texture. The soft flesh wrapped around my dick as if licking it. I moaned loudly from the pleasure.
The pursed lips gave a soft, firm pressure. In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and slowly raised my upper body.
Gamwoo’s eyes were filled with questions as he was holding my items face down. When I raised her upper body and it became difficult for her to stay there any longer, she also tried to raise herself up on her bed. But my hands were faster than that.
My hand grabbed Gamwoo’s horn. Immediately after that, Kamu let out a groan.
“Oh, Lord… Well, there… ….”
Gamwoo’s pronunciation was muffled again as he tried to get up. It was because he was still holding my belongings. But I was so excited that I couldn’t pay attention to this. Rather, I put more strength into the hand holding the horn.
Cook, my object pierces the inside of Gamwoo’s mucous membrane. Gamwoo’s eyes opened wide, and a suffocating sound came out. Her eyes became blurry. Since only my upper body was raised, I couldn’t move my waist. So the one that naturally moved was Gamwoo’s head.
I pulled her horn like a handle and repeated her push. Gamwoo let out a sound that was either moaning or crying. A sudden stab to the inside of her neck would naturally be painful and could also cause nausea. However, Gamwoo did not raise her teeth to express her disapproval.
On the contrary, she had a slightly hazy look in her eyes. No matter how excited I was, I was not the kind of person who would freely cause pain to the woman I loved. Nevertheless, the reason why I grabbed her horns without hesitation was because of Gamwoo’s walls.
She had somewhat masochistic tendencies. This even becomes stronger when you grab her by the horns. That was the conclusion I came to after staying up all night with Gamwoo over the past few weeks.
Also, the horns of the Kamu were also an erogenous zone. I stabbed her in the neck again and again, and Gamwoo moved her tongue in response. A rush of pleasure surged up her spine.
This did not seem to be much different for Gamwoo. Gamwoo’s eyebrows trembled. The sensation from her horns, and even my dick poking her throat. There were many factors that fueled Gamwoo’s s*xual excitement.
It didn’t take long for me to cum. My object, which had already been warmed up for a long time before I woke up, gave out affection as if it had been waiting. A sharp sense of pleasure ran down my spine.
“Huh, huh?!”
Gam-u seemed a little surprised by the semen pouring straight into her esophagus, but she soon closed her eyes and accepted my semen calmly, as if complying. Furthermore, she moved her tongue secretly as if urging me to ejaculate. Thanks to that, my situation lasted a little longer.
When the pounding feeling of ejaculation subsided, I sighed and let go of her horn. Gamwoo, who regained her freedom, gulped and swallowed my semen. Only then did she blush and look distressed.
No matter how mutually agreed upon it was, I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry at this point. I cautiously asked Gamwoo, who was coughing.
“Well, it’s okay…” … ?”
Then Gamwoo hurriedly caught his breath. She cleared her throat, hmm, then immediately raised her body and came to my side. It was an obedient attitude that was a little burdensome.
She said to me with a grin. She smiled as if telling me not to worry.
“…… Yes I’m okay. Honey. “Did you sleep better than that?”
Instead of answering, I gently hugged her shoulder. Gamwoo burst into my arms and hugged me. She seemed embarrassed for a moment, but then she pressed her cheek against my arm as if she was happy.
It was a consistent love. I smiled bitterly, feeling both happy and embarrassed. I said while holding her.
“Thanks to someone… “So did you sleep well?”
“I still feel like I’m dreaming.”
What a fuss, I was trying to say that but ended up not being able to say anything. It was because Gamwoo’s expression looked so happy. Her face, which had always been drenched in fatigue, was now showing a subtle glow of happiness.
She said, snuggling deeper into my arms.
“…… “I am always grateful that I married you.”
“Me too.”
I then smiled bitterly. It was because it brought back bad memories.
“…… “Even though I was a little scared to get permission to get married in front of ancestors.”
Gam-u let out a light laugh at my words. She, too, seemed to recall her own memories of that day.
“But it was cool, Liu Yunchafengjin was so angry, but you stayed calm the whole time.”
“Then what should I do? I’m lucky if I don’t get swept away with a single flap of my wings. I should at least stay calm…….”
The scenery of one day began to play in my head. ‘Ryuunchafungjinjun’ was one of the sages who took the form of a crane. She was like her adoptive mother who raised her from childhood, and she cared for him that much. She was embarrassed when she heard that Kam-woo had fallen in love with her human friend and was getting married. .
What’s more, he has not one, but two wives. Even if I were a parent, my family would be devastated, so it was natural for Liu Yunchafengjin to be angry at having to hand over his adopted daughter, whom he had cherished as his own child for thousands of years, to a stranger.
I really thought I was going to die that day. Not only the Liuyunchapungjin army, but also the Sowolchukyangjin army, which took the form of a stag, the Hangma Daeseong bull, which hunted evil spirits, and the Risucheopsanjin army, which had the appearance of a crane like the Liuyunchafungjin army. Even without that, I was able to completely accept the anger of the good people who were furious at the news of the death of Emperor Amwang.
Still, they couldn’t bear to ignore Kam-woo’s words that he would rather die without me, so the ancestors decided to bless my marriage with Kam-woo under one condition. And that condition has become one of my main routines these days.
Gamwoo seemed to be reminiscing about that time just like me, and suddenly asked me a question.
“…… Come to think of it, how is Hangma Daeseong doing these days?”
Hearing those words, I groaned and groaned. It was because it was a question related to one of my main routines these days. It was also a condition of being allowed to marry Gamwoo by the ancestors, and the content was to receive the teachings of Seongak from the ancestors.
‘Seon-ga-sulbeop’ was a mysterious magic practiced by sages. Its power was so mysterious that the belief that ancestors’ wishes would come true was widespread among the Liyue people. I should have been thankful that he was teaching me such an amazing and mysterious secret, but power comes at a price.
It hasn’t even been a month since I decided to learn Zen techniques, but I was already crying.
“It’s still my daily routine to run around all day and then go to work at the top, right?”
What on earth does technique have to do with physical strength? I wanted to argue, but the person who agreed to teach me the Zen techniques was none other than Hangma Daeseong So. Although he had the appearance of a delicate boy with turquoise hair, he was a nobleman who had slain countless evil spirits during Liyue’s thousands of years of history.
I did not have the courage to confront such a fearsome being, so in the end I had no choice but to accept the training method without saying anything. However, as if the training method was not without foundation, Kamu just giggled and looked happy.
“Hang Ma Daeseong places importance on the basics. “As you learn Seonga techniques, you will probably realize why physical strength is important.”
“…… In fact, there is no guarantee that you will live long even if you learn Zen techniques.”
However, despite Gamwoo’s comfort, I could not help but let out a sigh. The real reason why my ancestors taught me the art of Zen is because the art of Zen is fundamentally rooted in the art of longevity.
People often become sages when they learn the Zen techniques and gain enlightenment. And for ancestors, lifespan was meaningless. This was because, unless they were killed by someone, they enjoyed a semi-permanent lifespan.
Even if he did not become a sage, it was Li Yue’s common sense that the sage arts prevented aging and extended lifespan. Since my mate is a half-human, half-seon who will live for thousands of years more, the sages were also worried about my comrade remaining alone after my death, so they were forcing me to learn the sage arts.
But reaching such great heights was not easy. Moreover, I was busy with top-level work as well. This was the reason why I had a pessimistic view on the Seonga technique.
But Kamu didn’t seem to think so, so he slightly raised his upper body and kissed my cheek. And she smiled such a beautiful smile.
“If it’s you, you’ll do it. And if you don’t reach the level, don’t worry.”
She continued her words while squeezing my hand. To anyone who could see it, it was the face of a woman drenched in happiness.
“…… “If you die, I will die too.”
However, the words he spoke were very scary. I made a promise again.
I have to somehow learn Seongajuk. Also, I thought I would have Gakcheong also learn Seonga techniques. Because she was my wife too.

If there was a time when I spent a happy time with Gamwoo, I also spent another day with each office. That morning, I opened my eyes feeling the heat.
The feeling of mucous membrane sliding against each other, I secretly shifted my gaze to the inexplicable pleasure I felt in my lower abdomen.
My wife, Gakcheong, with light purple hair, was sitting there. She was moving her waist on top of me, and her expression was slowly melting from the subtle pleasure.
I asked a little embarrassed.
“…… Each office? “What are you doing now?”
“A successor, huh… Because I have to give birth…….”
And then a crackling sound came out. The inside of each hall, which was sufficiently wet, was hot enough to be hot. Each time she shook her hips, she sent a tingling sensation of pleasure up my spine.
As if it was no different for each hearing, her face was flushed with excitement and pleasure. She was still chewing her lips, and it seemed like she was engaging in this act with some seriousness.
“For that b*tch, hahahaha… I can never hand it over… “Huh?!”
In response to each office’s chilling jealousy toward Gamwoo, I straightened up my waist. Immediately after that, Gakcheong let out a loud moan due to the intense stimulation. I found that sight quite cute, so I immediately got up and attacked Gakcheong. The tide turned in an instant.
I moved my waist and pierced the inside of each ear, whispering in her ear.
“…… “Are you enjoying yourself too much for that?”
“Oh, no…” Tsk, huh, tsk?!”
Gakcheong’s body must have already become quite hot, and every time I poked inside, it tightened as if it was sticking to my object. She squeezed my body as if she was approaching climax. I was also worried about her, but I deliberately pretended to be calm and harassed Gakcheong with words.
“Why not? “I’m still feeling it a lot.”
“Well, that’s…” Yeah, well, uh, it just so happened… “Huh!”
Her breathing became deeper and longer. She meant that she was about to climax. When Gakcheong couldn’t even speak properly and she was moaning, I stuck my dick deep inside her.
I ejaculated at the same time as Gakcheong’s body began to tremble. The pleasure of being wrapped around the mucous membrane and ejaculating was so good that it could not even be compared to using birth control. Even after the sensation of my ejaculation subsided, the spasms in each ear continued.
After a while, Gakcheong and I, who had had a good time since the morning, lay down again, breathing heavily. Our two bodies overlapped as if on top of each other. I asked while stroking Gakcheong’s hair.
“…… Is there a need to worry so much about successors? “Even if there is no successor, I still love you.”
“Heirs and love are separate issues.”
To me, it was said as a consolation, but the response from each office was stern. Gakcheong, who was taking deep breaths and trying to catch his breath, spoke to me in a reproachful tone.
“This is a child who may become the successor to Mond’s caravan and the prestigious Liyue family. The moment we are born, we will receive a lot of attention from Monde and Li Yue’s political circles, and of course we need to provide appropriate education, so we can do it while we are young… Jook, have to give birth, side, side… Oh really!”
However, she soon cut her off in frustration. When her words seemed to get longer, I pulled her close to her neck and kissed her. As the kiss continued, each office finally had no choice but to give up reprimanding me.
The way he pursed his lips looked like he was pouting, but I knew that was something Gakcheong did when he was in a good mood. To be more precise, it was a behavior you show when you are in a good mood but feel embarrassed. I thought she was cute so I kissed her a few more times.
In the end, each office fell into my arms even though they pretended not to like it. Her soft volume filled my arms with satisfaction. I giggled and laughed.
“Do you know how many children you will have? “If we keep going like this, I won’t be able to do my job at Chilseong.”
“Hmph, don’t ignore me too much. I am Gakcheong. “She is a capable woman who can handle both work and childcare.”
I guess that’s right, I put more strength into her arms that were hugging Gakcheong. Gakcheong subtly clung to my arms even more. It was a happy time.
“I feel a little sorry for having that talented woman all to myself.”
“…… “Are you conscious?”
Gakcheong pouted his lips at my impressions and said. She huffed and snorted her laughter.
“Even I can’t have my husband all to myself…” “It’s not fair.”
I smiled bitterly at those words. I had absolutely nothing to say about that. When this fact became known, not only the family of Gakcheong but also the entire Liyue expressed doubts about a woman of Gakcheong’s caliber tolerating the existence of another wife.
But as she said, each office was each office. In an instant, she overpowered the elders of the family and Li Yue’s public opinion and became my wife. It was something I couldn’t help but be thankful for.
There was no way to express my gratitude, so I had no choice but to hug Gakcheong.
“But you’re happy enough, right?”
“…… “That’s right.”
Gakcheong finally said that and turned her body to face her. And she kissed me on the lips. I’m already used to it, but I feel that joyful happiness no matter how many times I do it.
“That’s why I’m watching. Because I Love You… “Tell me to do well for the rest of my life.”
You may be wondering, I held each office face to face for a while while saying those words. Even though the trigger was sudden, whatever.
Because I am happy, that is enough. That’s what I was thinking.
**
When I opened my eyes with a headache, it was already morning. I couldn’t even remember how much I drank with Mr. Cheonchu yesterday.
Cheon Chu-seong’s rectification continued with Juryang. He boasted that he was quite a drunkard in his old days, and he drank so much that I couldn’t compete with him.
To begin with, the people of Liyue were a race that drank strong liquor like water. It was a country with the second largest number of drunkards after Snezhnaya, so there was no way I, a native Korean who drank even 20-percent alcohol, could deal with it.
Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I opened my eyes alone. Recently, I woke up with either Gamwoo or Gakcheong. The wives seemed to have gone to work, leaving their husbands smelling like alcohol.
Today was a long-awaited holiday. It was when I got ready and went out to the living room with the thought of going to meet King Hangma.
There was a golden glow lingering there. Pale golden hair reflecting the morning sunlight. And scarlet eyes that resemble the sun.
I stopped when I saw that. It had to be that way. Because she was also the woman I had the most awkward relationship with recently.
Lumine, the person I loved. I said hello with an awkward smile.
“…… “Uh, did you sleep well?”
“Yes.”
Lumine’s answer was cold. These days, my conversations with her have always been like this. A conversation that is cold and consists only of short answers, even if answers are given.
It had to be that way. For her, Lumine, the man she had considered as a half-lover had suddenly announced that he was getting married.
Even if she pulled out her sword and rushed at me, I had nothing to say. In that sense, Lumine, who only treated me coldly, could be said to be closer to an angel.
Lumine’s guide, Paimon, saw me like that and clicked her tongue as if it was pitiful. Even though I was treated like that, I had nothing to say, so I became sullen.
Lumine didn’t even look at me. She stood up to her feet in a cold manner, and soon took her steps outside. I wondered what I should say, but managed to say goodbye.
“Huh, Lumine? Bye.”
Then Lumine’s eyes glanced at me. Those profound golden eyes were still beautiful, but the temperature with which they looked at me was the opposite of what it had been a while ago.
“…… Okay.”
She said that and left. Yes, happiness came at a price. I recalled the day Gamwoo and Gakcheong became my wife.
I wasn’t there, but I heard about it from the governor and each office. What happened at the place where Mona, Fissle, and Lumine were all located.
It was less than a month ago.
