by adminAfter hearing her children’s words, Jinah had several worries cross her mind.
According to what these children said, it was soon said that the king would prepare means to eliminate them.
However, if there was a bigger problem than that, it was that Lee Yeon had to deal with them head on.
It’s not like Gaju can always protect them. From my perspective, Han-i wasn’t a kid who was suited for battle.
In addition, I began to worry about whether it was right to keep a child who had already returned with one of his arms cut off in this damned family.
“… … .”
Calling the child a name and taking him out? It was possible.
However, the problem was the dragon.
During the war, Baek Han almost unconditionally followed Shenlong’s orders, and asked him why he was so afraid of Shenlong and obeyed him so absolutely.
The answer was surprisingly simple, yet scary.
“Because that existence can see the whole country.”
“All?”
“Yes, it is the most terrifying ability of all. You can look down on any place you want, in any way you want. You can also see whether or not we have carried out the order, and you can exercise your power of compulsion in any way you want for the sake of the country.
… . I’m talking about the gods.”
Those words were the words that scared her the most. More than anything, it was the reason why Jin-ah had tried to persuade Baek-han instead of running away with the child.
Whatever he did, it would be seen by the king in some way. If the king saw it, what would it mean whether he ran away or did something?
Besides, this child was also a god. He didn’t know how orders were transmitted and how they were carried out. There was no way he could have known such things.
The problem was more that my husband, who was so strong and iron-willed, was acting like my commander would never see me.
It would be absurd for him to run away and deceive the king, who was so strong that he chose to submit. And even if he ran away, what if the king judged him to be a traitor and ordered the child and me to be killed?
In the first place, will there ever come a day when the child is free from his commands?
In that case, the answer would be to raise him properly by the side of the strongest person I can trust.
So, I chose to try to persuade him… .
In the end, the result of that persuasion was… failure and this bitter pain. If I had known this would happen, if I had…
‘I shouldn’t have made such a stupid choice… … .’
He knew better than anyone that he had put forth the best of all possible excuses for the sake of the child. He could have simply chosen to run away.
If you didn’t like what this person was doing, you would have run away by doing anything, whether it be death or life, to a place where no one, not even gods or anything else, could enter, and even if they did come, you would have continued to run away.
Has this child ever suffered like this?
Such worries continued to fill my head. However, worrying about such things did not change much.
Right now, that is.
“Hana.”
“… Uh, uh… Mom.”
It was extremely difficult to properly explain the current situation to my child, who was still not fully awake.
The best thing to do was just ask my father if he had sent a message.
“… Did you contact your dad?”
“I sent a messenger home earlier, telling you to call the people of the Blue Dragon and the Red Bird.”
“… Yeah. Good job.”
It was the best decision a child could make. It didn’t matter how it happened. Now, it was time for me to do what I had to do.
Meanwhile, there was chaos within the family.
“What does that mean?”
The aura of Baekhan was scattered throughout the house without being controlled. That much meant that he was in a bad mood.
“That’s, that’s why… .”
“What about that kid?”
The spirit and pressure that the energy gave off was something that was beyond words.
The greatest divine beast of the time, the only white tiger with that title. That was Baekhan.
Since Baek-han was so angry that he couldn’t control his temper properly, he needed others to calm him down.
“That kid, his arm-”
He was a child who couldn’t possibly be like that. No, he was a child who couldn’t be like that.
If that child had stepped forward and tried to block everything, it would have been meaningless. The fact that that child came back with a cut off arm was the most unbelievable truth.
“Take me now-”
“More than that, there is something the Master asked me to do!”
“… What?”
I looked at Je-seon. Right now, the priority is to take care of the injured child. What did Lee Han ask for? It wasn’t important.
“Nothing is more important than that child’s work.”
“Your Majesty’s arm has been cut off! Just in case, the Lord of Soga asked me to call the Blue Dragon and the Red Bird!”
Sogaju. The fact that the name came up also meant that Jeseon thought that this was really important for this work.
And, indeed, Lee Han’s words were appropriate.
“… You put in the chimney. I’ll go see the child right now.”
It was urgent. I had to see it right away. It was more important to know what the child’s situation was.
“The lady has already arrived, the head of the household must take care of the family and do what needs to be done now…!”
“… … tsk… .”
It wasn’t that I wasn’t worried. I wanted to go right away. However, his words were true. There was a lot to do. Right now, it might be more helpful for the child to put them in a chimney.
“… … . Bring some stationery.”
“… Yes!”
“I guess I should also call together the knights who went out to the village… . Sigh… .”
In many ways, my head has been hurting. This has already happened.
It was three days… Just three days. If more time had passed, I might have been able to show them my face. But…
“… … . At this rate, even if the Blue Dragon asks, I have nothing to say.”
At least if they had shown that they were taking good care of the child, they might have been able to argue with them when it came to claiming custody.
However, those who prioritize life could not possibly ignore this. This was… . an absolute indication and proof that anyone could see that our family was not suitable for raising Lee Yeon.
Poison, amputation of an arm, how could that possibly happen in a week? It was absurd. It shouldn’t have happened. And yet, it happened in this family.
Who, what kind of person.
Would you want to raise a child in a family like this?
If you love and cherish your child, you would never think like that.
-Crack.
My teeth chattered. Even as I held the brush and wrote, the thought that the child would leave this place filled my head.
… … . I thought about following the children around for security purposes, but… .
‘The family business, ha… .’
It would have been better if, from the beginning, she had received an equal education and grown up equally as she had said, and then handed over the command of a different family or branch to that child.
If we had moved in that direction to establish a new system, wouldn’t this have happened?
‘…. I don’t know.’
It was something I already knew was a useless assumption. I knew better than anyone how meaningless and meaningless these things were. Nevertheless, I had no choice but to do it.
“… . Send this to another family right away.”
“Yes.”
The chimney has now been sent. The knights have also been ordered to return.
Now, the thing to do is to go see the kids.
“Now, I’m going to go see the kids.”
No one tried to stop them. It only strengthened their speculations a little more.
The speculation that ‘there might not be just one master’.
As time passed, one day, no, two days later, the two birds flew to the families of the Red Bird and the Blue Dragon.
Those who were contacted by the birds,
“… . What the-!!”
The blue dragon is furious.
“… . Huh?”
The prince felt bewildered.
The sudden arrival of a chimney brought them the most terrifying news.
It was a huge deal for those who were confident that nothing would happen.
Those who felt different emotions because of this came together as one fact.
The thought was, ‘I have to rush into Baekho-ga right now.’
These chimneys, which reached the head of the household at that time, created waves larger than expected, enraging the two divine beasts.
