by adminRed hair, blue eyes.
Three people from a family that could be said to be a fabrication no matter what anyone said were sitting in a carriage and going home.
“Oh, come to think of it, Seonhwa, you seemed to be on good terms with Baekho earlier. Who is that fierce-looking Baekho?”
Their story of sharing private stories made me think of Baekho, who had seemed to have the strongest aura and who I was close with earlier.
“Ah… . Well, as you might have guessed… . I think they’re twins.”
“Twins? That kid?”
“Yes.”
“Well, there was one kid who was too weak. I thought he was a collateral child.”
I smiled faintly at that mother’s family.
“Hey, how good is the relationship between the collateral line and the Sashinsu family?”
It was a well-known fact. Politically, it did not look good. That branch would be subject to checks from other families, and if they were checked, of course… things would not go well for that family.
So, be careful not to act in a way that gives special favors to your family.
Because that was the most basic of the basics.
Of course, I need to look into it a bit to see if it applies to other families, but it was basic for me.
It should be a warm flame for everyone, and it should not discriminate by giving special privileges to some.
So I was concerned about the child. It was obviously the first time he had worn something like this, and most of all… . he looked like a big cat, just like his mother said, so he looked cute.
It was originally a duty, but that’s why I secretly purified the child’s liquid. A very small liquid that was just beginning to bloom.
I couldn’t find out when, where, or how it came up. It was clear that if I didn’t touch and release that lump, it would become a lump that would never go away… .
‘We’ll get to know each other more as we meet more often in the future.’
Why does a warm smile appear on my face? It feels even cuter, like seeing a cat living on the street that doesn’t give me a hug.
It will take a long time to become close, to get used to each other, and to get used to each other… but still, someday.
“Are you that cute?”
I nodded quietly at my mother’s words. The child named Baek Yi-han already looked straight, and rather than cute, he felt pretty.
I had a feeling that the kid would be able to handle it, so I said everything.
“Yeah. It looked really hard.”
That sight, which seemed younger and more immature than our age, couldn’t help but seem cute.
“What’s so cute about that? It’s just a big cat.”
“That’s why I hang out with my brother.”
“What? This is-”
“My brother is just a big bird!”
“I’m losing!”
They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Yes. This is what family is. That thought crossed my mind.
Even in my view, it was a completely different relationship from Baek Yi-han and Baek Yi-yeon, who treated each other with a distance. This must be what it means to be a family, close siblings.
What on earth was wrong with them that made them stay so distant from each other? I tried to understand, but in my heart, I still couldn’t figure it out.
Because it was so different from us.
“Ha, I’m a little worried too. That guy seems to lack emotions.”
“Right? That bothers me too.”
“Lack of emotion? What do you mean?”
My mother seemed a little embarrassed by those words.
But that’s what he looked like.
Even when someone surprised him from behind, he didn’t react much.
That sight was enough to make us a little bewildered. It seemed that we now knew enough about what kind of education they had.
“That’s right, I didn’t really see the child being surprised, laughing, crying, or excited. Or rather, I didn’t see it. There was almost no change in expression.”
“… … . So?”
At those words, my mother’s expression became a little serious.
“As expected, twins… . That must be why I win, right?”
My mother shook her head at my words.
“It’s not good to judge rashly. Just think about it. You can ask me later, but… .”
“Okay.”
“But, mother. If you continue to leave that child like that, he might get worse.”
My brother asked me with a genuine concern. He said I wasn’t cute, but it seemed like he was still concerned.
No matter what he said, he was ultimately just one of the gods who looked after everyone.
“That’s right. While I’m at it, I’ll give you some surprising news.”
“What a surprising news?”
“I think that kid will come to our house to play often.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Mother’s words were disconcerting. If my brother reacted like that, then I had said everything.
“A young and large white tiger said that it was the father’s order and would sometimes bring the child here.”
My mother said with a faint smile.
I feel better. Doesn’t that mean I can see and play with that kid a lot? What should I prepare for him so he’ll like it? For some reason, I wanted to stay with that kid a little longer.
It wasn’t just pitiful. It was a strange feeling.
“Seonhwa.”
“Yes?”
“Is it that good?”
“ in?”
“Show me your wings, you idiot.”
“Huh?”
-Food addict.
“Huh?!”
“Oh my, you idiot.”
It was a strange habit I had. When I was feeling really good, wings would sprout from my back without me even realizing it. It was as if I was hearing the words, “I feel like I’m going to fly.”
“Really, when are you going to learn how to handle it? No matter what, you have to handle it well, right?”
“Ah, brother!!”
My face turned bright red, and I even had the illusion that it was ripening. I was that embarrassed.
My brother ruffled my hair at my actions.
“Oh my, what a cute guy.”
“Oh really!”
“Stop it-, we’re almost there.”
“Yes.”
My brother let go of me and got out of the carriage. Sometimes I saw him and he was really annoying.
“… .”
After finishing all the meditation, I came back and had no idea what to do.
Since I was ordered to rest anyway, I deliberately went into bed and made myself comfortable.
It was also because after the bullying stopped, nothing unusual happened in bed.
While I was sitting there trying to sleep, the room manager came up to me.
“Yeon-ah. Where have you been?”
At his words, I sat down first. Since the words of a superior are something that must be followed first, I just have to say it as it is and let it go.
“I came back after meditating for a while.”
“… . How many hours? Alone? My wife was looking for me earlier. She wanted to give me a snack.”
“… Can I go now?”
“No, he said to come back later if you were tired. Are you tired?”
“… . No. I will go and meet you now.”
“Uh, uh… . Okay.”
He looked at me with eyes that seemed to be looking at something strange.
Was there something wrong with me? But I didn’t remember doing anything wrong, so I just thought it was something uncomfortable and let it go.
-‘Oh, you idiot.’
I could hear the voice of the ability chattering behind me, but I ignored it and walked on. After all, nothing else mattered to me.
I walked down the street looking for the place where the lady who said she wanted to see me so badly was.
Today in particular, there were a lot of eyes focused on me. It didn’t matter why.
All that mattered was to get there quickly. As I approached, I met an unexpected person.
“Hey, Lee Yeon.”
“… . Meet the superiors.”
“… What are those clothes?”
“… . Clothes?”
I didn’t even know what they were talking about. I was just wearing the clothes I was wearing.
“No, why are you- wearing such noble clothes- that’s what I’m saying.”
“… These are the clothes I borrowed from you, my lord, because I was visiting the palace today.”
Come to think of it, this was my first time wearing something like this, so that’s why they reacted this way.
Only then did I realize the reason for their stares. Usually, my doubts would be resolved and I would feel a little relieved, but not now.
I never thought that being emotionless would bring me this kind of comfort.
“Where are you going now?”
“On the way to see Madam.”
“Madam? Why, Madam.”
“Because Madam asked to see me.”
She really did ask to see me first. That’s why I’m going. There was no other reason.
At my words, they looked at each other for a moment, nodded, and said.
“Yeah, well… . After that’s over, let’s meet up for a bit.”
“Yes.”
I guess I’ll have to go and meet Madam.
… Anyway, they are also my seniors and superiors who have to follow orders.
