The grounds of the mansion are spacious. There are many facilities other than the mansion, but there are plenty of places to plant trees.

‘The main gate area is not that great.’

The road leading from the main gate to the mansion. Flowers are in full bloom on both sides. There is also a garden managed according to the president’s will.

‘Is the back the best after all?’

There is a spacious lawn behind the mansion.

It’s a place where baby unicorns and fairy spirits usually play, and it’s close to the mansion, so it’s a good place to plant fairy trees.

-Wow! Am I coming back to life at home?

-Rio. Even the King is not sure, so he is just trying. Don’t burden him!

-Oh, is that so?

As we headed to the back of the mansion, the fairies smiled brightly and showed their anticipation.

I calmed down the fairies who were laughing and making noise while looking at the land.

[Yeah, Carly’s right. It seems possible, but I’m not sure. Don’t be too disappointed, because it might not work this time.]

-Yes! I’ll be looking forward to it!

-I told you not to say that.

-Huh

He left the whispering fairies behind and touched the ground. This was the work of confirming that the location was suitable through observation and sympathy with Mt. Taesan.

-Even in the kingdom, the fairy tree was a very important existence as a wall and a heart.

“… … .”

-The Fairy Tree spreads out the heavenly connection system to block external threats and always maintains the internal environment close to paradise.

I heard that the fairy tree is not just a simple house. It literally has the function of a heavenly connection. It is a tree that has inherited a kind of uniqueness.

It spreads out barriers to block danger and decorates and maintains an internal environment that is pleasant to live in.

The effect is amplified as more fairy trees are planted in an area.

-The King has not yet fully realized his power, but he is certainly capable of it.

[… … ]

-…Your Majesty?

Teramorga, who had appeared and been chattering away, tilted his head.

When she tried to look at my face by bending over, I quickly turned my head away. I flapped my wings slightly to cover my face.

-Wow, Your Majesty…?

Shock spread across Terramor’s face.

-Did I offend your Majesty?

The subject who had been standing quite solemnly now waved his hands in confusion.

At the gesture that did not allow me to hold onto my body, I pouted and played back the words that were left in my head.

[You should take him to the mansion and let him rest]

-…ah?

[You called me king and all, but you naturally insisted on abolition. You said you would serve me as a knight, but is that okay?]

-Uh… That’s…

[Shouldn’t you at least take my side? You say you are a knight. What country’s knight instigates the imprisonment of his own king? This is complete treason… Phew]

“You shouldn’t scold a subordinate who said the right thing.”

Lee Ji-yeon grabbed my chin with one hand and pressed my cheek.

Her lips stuck out comically like a carp. Jiyeon Lee shook her head and crouched down next to me.

“If you pursue it like that, will you be able to offer advice later out of fear? If you keep getting rid of loyalists like that, you’ll end up with traitors by your side.”

-Your Majesty…!

“… Ahem! Hmm… ”

Terramor’s eyes were filled with emotion. Jiyeon, whose cheeks were slightly red, rolled her eyes in embarrassment at that gaze.

[dissatisfaction]

[pointy]

-Phew…

“Ahem. Don’t be like that… ”

As I puffed out my cheeks, Lee Ji-yeon stroked my cheeks with her fingers.

“Of course I know it’s a joke, but it’s a bit much if you just harass me… Oh, that’s right. After the meeting, come to Taesan Family House with me. ”

[yes?]

“I told you before on the battlefield. Let’s go to the main house once to see the manifestation of Taesan… Yes, just like when you went to the Gyeophwa family.”

[aha]

Since Taesan has been manifested, it meant that he was asked to visit the family once as a formality.

“What… Besides that, I told you before. There are fairies that are managed by the main house. Let’s go in there together.”

Lee Ji-yeon glanced at my wings and spoke. I tilted my head as I thought about the question.

[Uh… will that work?]

There are several special management areas in the Taesan family’s territory.

This is an area that protects special materials or monsters that require strict management, and because of its importance, only a few people are allowed to enter.

Entry and exit by outsiders is especially strict.

“Don’t worry about that. Who am I now?”

At my question, Jiyeon smiled and pointed at me. It was a smile brimming with confidence. I tilted my head and let out a sigh.

[Taesan’s Housekeeper?]

“Yes, I am the one giving permission now.”

Before last winter break ended.

The head of the Hyeon Tae-san clan, Lee Ji-ah, suddenly declared seclusion and appointed her successor, Lee Ji-yeon, as the head of the clan.

‘The reason was that he went into the training and got into the private sector.’

This is something that didn’t happen in the original.

‘Eiji’s Taesan was particularly powerful, but it had great power in the art of command.’

Saengmaek and Saemaek are places that are strictly managed by the Taesan family, and in the original work, I went in and checked in some way.

As the name suggests, Saengmaek is a place where life comes and goes. Saemaek is… a place where yin energy, which can also be called evil energy, comes and goes.

Of course, it is a good place to handle life manipulation and divination respectively.

‘hmm…’

I met Lee Ji-ah at the last birthday party. When I recalled the uneasiness I felt and observed back then, I felt a sense of ominousness.

“Well, he is in the cradle of the main house. Even if I do the final review, the head lord at the main house is having a hard time… ”

Lee Ji-yeon smiled awkwardly and shrugged her shoulders.

[But I know you’re working really hard, senior. You’re juggling school and family affairs.]

“It’s less difficult because there’s a general overseer. So don’t criticize your loyal followers too much.”

[…yes…]

I pout slightly and tapped the floor.

Kukukung! A small hole was created in the ground that was shaking. Then, he split the air with his fingers.

The air split apart. The entrance to subspace opened up and black tree roots came out. Then came a withered, twisted body and bare branches without a single leaf.

This is the dead fairy tree I brought earlier.

The roots of the fairy tree were placed in a hole and filled in with dirt to secure it in place. Of course, this alone will not bring the dead tree back to life.

“This is the first time I’ve seen it in person.”

Seoyul, who was behind me, crouched down next to me. Her five-colored wings fluttered, and her curious eyes searched the fairy tree.

‘hmm…’

Those sparkling eyes of curiosity ignited my desire.

“Can I help you?”

[I’ll try it by myself for now]

I focused and observed the fairy tree in detail.

I still have confidence, but if I were to say certainty, it would be a bit presumptuous. I placed my hand on the fairy’s neck with a strange expression.

As expected, he’s already dead.

Even though it is a plant, the spark of life has already gone out. If you put life into a pot with holes in it, it will just leak out again.

Even if you try to keep the vitality alive and move it, it is ultimately a form of sorcery.

It cannot be said that he was truly saved.

I exhaled calmly and drew a lot of life from the ground.

A great life force was moved, caught in the grip of Mt. Taishan.

If you spread it, the dried and twisted land will come back to life, but if you take it out, the land will die.

But there’s no problem here.

The land where the president’s words remain is full of life. It’s okay to pull out this amount several more times, and even if you pull it out, it will soon rise again.

He slowly guided the life to the roots of the fairy tree.

The roots that had been attached to the tree began to twitch, and soon the life began to pour in.

‘This isn’t enough.’

The vitality that I had worked so hard to hold in came out in a blur.

‘After all, what happens if you fix the bowl…’

Mt. Taishan.

Expanded ability to command and revive.

That alone wasn’t enough. I came up with the answer instinctively.

I’m not saying it’s impossible. It’s possible if there are other factors.

‘Fairy’s rank.’

A race that is born and raises and manages fairy trees. Among them, an individual that gives birth to fairy trees and makes them grow.

Am I that entity? I’m not sure, but judging from the reactions of the spirits and fairies, I think I am.

I held my breath and pulled up my strength. The uniqueness of the slowly rising Taesan expanded.

‘Expression.’

Taesan expansion ability

Life and death can be decided

-Woooow!

The life energy held in the fairy’s neck shone brightly. The life energy that had not yet been fully absorbed was quickly sucked into the fairy’s neck.

‘Let’s start from Taesan…’

-Woooow!

The vibrations flowed again.

It is not a fairy tree. It is not a mountain. It is a uniqueness that has swelled inside.

At the same time, my wings vibrated. The three pairs of brightly colored wings flapped wildly.

It was a split second. A line was drawn between the wings and the fairy’s neck.

-Thud!

The fairy’s neck wiggled roughly.

‘Ugh, ugh… ‘

The body, the flesh, also writhed together. What was inside expanded. Cracks appeared where there were none, and it tore and split apart.

‘ah.’

It’s a familiar feeling. It’s a feeling I’ve experienced before.

The soul wants to come out of the body.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

-Kuuung!

The fairy tree rose.

***

While Lee Ha-yool went to Taesan to receive education, a meeting was in full swing in one of the rooms of the mansion.

“Aga… Hmm, Harul. I guess this is the only way to scold her lightly… ”

The topic is, of course, Lee Ha-yul. To be exact, the level of scolding regarding this incident. At Elia’s worried words, Atra shrugged his shoulders.

“There’s nothing I can do. It’s something I did at the Tower of Growth after much thought. If I continue to support and criticize it, it might happen outside the Tower later.”

“I know that, but… sigh… ”

Elia let out a sigh.

That’s not wrong. The Tower of Growth is a place for training. It’s a place specialized in knowing your limits and expanding them.

It is also a place to experiment with technologies that might be possible, such as this one.

“That kind of thing, that kind of thing is called technology… ”

But the technology that Lee Ha-yool experimented with is just ridiculous.

The space where the second-year entrance exam was held that day.

It had been less than ten minutes since Iha Yul left the room to experiment with this technique. I remember the vibrations and the aftermath that made it feel like the world was going to crumble.

One side of the world was sparkling.

Those who were afraid that a disaster had struck witnessed it. A sphere that was clearly visible from a far away place, changing from black to white.

This was the direction the rate was headed.

Those who went there, doubting whether it was true or not, saw an absurd sight.

An empty pit, as if the world had been eaten away. A sky that was falling apart.

The wall that divided the world was breached, revealing the empty space beyond.

The rate below was not visible.

Of course, Elia fainted, and Hong Yeon-hwa had to close her eyes tightly and gather her sanity that was about to break. Even Baek A-rin was left with her mouth open in a daze.

“Is that really the right technique? Isn’t it just a hydrogen bomb explosion?”

“You can break the sky and the wall with something like that. Even if you just consider the scope, it seems much wider… ”

The power output is truly beyond imagination. The technique used to defeat the twin-headed dragon before was also clearly absurd, but this… goes way beyond that level.

In fact, it’s a bit of a stretch to call it a technology. I still get goosebumps thinking about Lee Ha-yool polishing and using something like that.

“Still, you’re trying so desperately to become stronger… ”

Now everyone has a rough idea.

The excessive obsession with strength that Lee Ha-yul shows. I thought it was just a reaction to the misfortunes he experienced during his powerless days, but I think differently these days.

This side.

Lee Ha-yool knew about the disaster in advance. He also prepared in advance and took action to stop it.

“Tsk, I’m waiting for now, but I wonder when you’ll tell me.”

“Well, if it’s a childish personality, I think they’ll hide it and try to take care of it on their own. I think it’d be right for them all to just grab me and spit it out… ”

“Haa… ”

The sighs that had been held back in front of Lee Ha-yool came out incessantly in this room.

“Sigh.”

Hong Yeon-hwa also sighed deeply and buried herself in the sofa.

“By the way, where did all the fairy children go? Even Rudi and Carly who were there a while ago disappeared?”

“You said Harul called? What did he say, that he was rebuilding the house?”

“Home?”

Everyone tilted their heads at the unexpected remark.

-Kugugugu…!

“What is it?”

At the same time, a vibration shook the mansion. A shadow appeared on one side of the room.

Everyone who jumped up turned their heads towards the shadows.

“… What.”

And then I saw it. Through the large window, I saw a huge tree towering up into the sky.

It was in the direction of the following rate.

“What the fuck is that?”

I think I know who the culprit is even without looking.

A gloom appeared on Hong Yeon-hwa’s face.
