285. East, Yue Kingdom (12)
The woman who had just met me summoned a bunch of undercover men and thrust their swords at her.
If you were to ask me if I knew what kind of woman he was touching, other people would probably give the same answer as I did.
“Who did I touch?”
Soon her green eyes disappeared for a moment and then sparkled again.
“…Are you being pretentious?”
“No.”
“Didn’t you try to do something shameless last night…!”
Are you talking about what happened with Kaen?
Unfortunately, nothing happened with her during the night.
“I could tell just by looking at his trembling eyes. It was clearly by force… No, looking at it now, it doesn’t even seem possible…”
Kaen was embarrassed because nothing happened.
It was clear that the girl whose name I did not know was completely mistaken about something.
[ What kind of situation should we consider this to be? ]
Sierra, who was holding her chin, was struck speechless by the sudden situation and tilted her head.
“……”
I had no idea where to start explaining so I kept my mouth shut.
“Originally, it would have been appropriate to kill him by chopping his limbs off right away, but many people are looking at him, so we overlook him. I hope we never have unnecessary contact with him again.”
“Contact…”
“If you violate this…”
“…Are you going to die?”
“I will die. For sure.”
“…I understand, so please at least get rid of this scary thing.”
I said, gently pushing the blade near my neck with my index finger.
“…Go back.”
As the girl speaks, the masked men disappear into the background.
Is it just a coincidence that their presence felt shallow?
I wanted to ask her why she was pacing in front of Kaen’s room last night, but she found out why.
Based on their attitude and explanation, these guys are presumed to be Wolyeonghoe (月影會).
Wolyeonghoe.
An armed group organized by Baek Do-hwa in the past.
‘That means that this organization, whose identity and purpose are unclear, somehow knows that Kaen is the reincarnation of Baek Do-hwa…’
Honestly, I don’t know how that is possible. Was there even a record of what the queen of the previous dynasty looked like hundreds of years ago?
If not, it might have something to do with the sword she obtained from Hanzo’s tomb.
“…Hmph.”
Before I could even say my question, the girl turned her head as if she didn’t want to look at me and walked out of her hallway.
Well, if they are Wolyeonghoe, I still feel relieved.
From noble mtl dot com
At least it won’t harm Kaen.
I have left the investigation of the Wolyeonghoe to Keraf and Volk, so let’s not dig into it any further.
I had something else to do.
***
Blind swordsman, Zeto.
He had the nickname ‘Paradise Exile’ and had a history as unique as his nickname.
According to rumors, he died and came back to life.
It seems that there was an uproar in the West, saying it was a ‘miracle of a saint’ or something, but for people in the East, a distant and foreign land, it was a somewhat difficult rumor to believe.
I heard something from Raijin.
He said he cut off the head of the bandit leader.
His skills seemed to be outstanding for his age, but that did not mean he could touch Lord Hoe.
Hoeju-nim already had a partner with whom he had made a covenant. If only Lord Hoe’s memory comes back, everything will be resolved.
I went back to the room where the cadets were gathered and eating.
Red-red hair that seems to capture the color just before the sun sets. Even the blue eyes reminiscent of water jade.
‘Lord Hoe…’
She was nibbling at her meal with a thoughtful look on her face.
It’s definitely because of that guy.
“Do you have no appetite?”
I was worried about her, so I walked up to her, got out of her car, and asked.
“Oh, it’s okay.”
“If you need anything, please let me know anytime.”
She locked eyes with her for a moment and then quietly stepped behind her.
There was an order from the vice-president to refrain from contact as much as possible, but I could not suppress myself.
He was, after all, the person she had been looking for her whole life.
I was taken in by Wolyeonghoe when I was young and received various educations. To serve the Lord of the Lord and the King of Conqueror, whom we may meet someday.
My classmates used to say things like that sometimes.
Is it certain that he will come back alive?
Is it right to foolishly wait for a dead person?
I was not swayed by their words.
Of course, it’s not that I’ve never been shaken.
We don’t know when they will return to this world.
It may not be my generation, but the next generation, and the generation after that.
But because of them, I was not able to collapse on the street and starve to death.
I was able to fill my stomach, receive a high-quality education that I could not envy, and create a ‘family’ called ‘Wolyeonghoe.’
I thought I should return the favor.
Most of the members of Wolyeonghoe probably had similar thoughts.
‘After careful consideration, it was decided that the next vice president would be Howol.’
The efforts paid off.
The vice president of Wolyeonghoe had a lot of work to do and a lot to learn, so decisions were made early on.
I thought it was an opportunity to get closer to Lord Hoe.
Because the next Vice Chairman…
‘This is Lord Hoe’s memoir.’
I had the authority to read Lord Hoe’s memoirs, that is, his diary.
After finishing my rough training, in the evening I went into the room where the memoirs were and delved into her life.
The Lord Hoe’s feelings and concerns were recorded in much more detail than what she had previously learned.
From the middle of the story, the meeting with King Baek Cheon-gyeol of the Conqueror was described.
What I felt after meeting him.
How did I fall in love with him?
What did she get from him, and how happy did she feel about it?
The story of the two written in Hoeju’s memoirs could not be compared with novels sold on the market.
It was a thrilling and thrilling love story that was more than enough to capture the girl’s heart, to the point where I thought I was in love with Baek Cheon-gyeol.
I finally met Lord Hoe.
It was a little different from the Lord Hoe I met in the memoir. It seemed like he had no memories of his past life.
The head of the vice-hoe told me that if the Lord of the Society has no memory, I should approach him with caution.
He said that it was up to the Lord to decide whether to accept the events of his past life.
“Zeto, feed me too.”
“I’m not a child.”
“I don’t have any hands either. Is that okay?”
“……”
The Lord of Hoe’s despondent eyes were focused on the blind man surrounded by women.
I can’t believe you were swayed by such a lecher.
Hoe Lord, don’t worry too much.
Your destiny is different.
***
After eating breakfast, we had time to explore Muran freely for the next part of our schedule.
It is said that I will not be able to meet King Xu Yi-san of the Yue Dynasty until evening, and Edward said that he has requested a private meeting with me.
I didn’t specifically refuse.
I thought there was nothing bad about hearing what he was trying to say.
I had something else to do, so I left my group for a while.
Because it was a long-awaited outing, Eisel and Yuri didn’t seem to like it, but when I told them it was related to my teacher, they seemed to agree and let me go.
I didn’t lie.
Because it was related to Sierra.
“Master, are you sure it’s okay?”
Standing in front of the large gate, I asked Sierra, who was floating next to her.
“Hap-!”
“Hap-!”
The sound of the officials cheering can be heard behind the gate.
This is Sierra’s home.
It was the ‘Sakwol Dojo’ that produced the largest number of warriors in Wolguk.
[ Well, I guess it can’t be helped… I’m also curious why Yasui ended up like that… ]
Sierra scratches her cheek.
He still seemed reluctant, but he seemed to have given up and said that there was nothing he could do due to the situation.
[ …Instead, could you please do me a small favor from this teacher? ]
“What is it?”
Soon Sierra approaches me and she whispers.
She had no reason to whisper, but her voice actually echoed in her head.
“……”
I heard her whisper and tilted her head.
[Close your eyes. Just once. Just once. ]
She shows off her cuteness in a way that is not typical of Sierra.
“If I were to be honest, my eyes are already closed…”
[Speaking from her own mouth, aren’t you over the moon about this kind of thing? ]
“Hmm…”
[ Wouldn’t it be possible…? ]
For some reason, Sierra seemed cute in a low posture, so she decided to grant her request.
I don’t know why she became estranged from her parents, but it was a pretty hot request.
“I will try my best.”
With those words, she pushed open the large gate.
ㅡKikigigeek.
The door opens and the wooden swords of the officials who were shouting their cheers stop. Their eyes are focused on me.
Soon, one of the officials approaches me and speaks to me.
“What brought you here?”
ㅡSereung.
I immediately pulled out my sword and thrust it into the neck of the official who greeted me with a friendly voice.
“What kind of guy are you?!!!”
Then the large man on the other side shouts loudly.
“…Are you causing trouble because you know where this place is? Identify yourself!”
Soon a large man approached me, his eyes focused on my bandages and he crossed his arms and threatened me.
I answered his question by slightly raising the corners of my mouth.
“I am Jawol’s disciple and her lover.”
“Jawol’s…?!”
[ Well, to that extent…?! ]
The large man and Sierra are embarrassed at the same time.
Whether they were embarrassed or not, I faithfully carried out my mission as asked.
He turned his sword and thrust it at the large man, then opened his mouth again.
“I came to destroy this seal.”
Provoke the entire dojo in the name of Jawol.
It was a request from Sierra, who said she wouldn’t be able to fit it neatly inside the seal.
