by adminTwo days ago, the family members who had encountered the child realized that they were now in a position where they could no longer ignore the child.
So, even though they may not know it, there were more people who tried to get a little closer to the child.
The moment the story of bullying was even slightly passed on to the people in the family, they were worried about the disadvantages that would fall on them.
Of course, aside from that, there were those who were frightened by the mere fact that they were nobles, and those who were worried about being ostracized from the group began to step forward.
Be that as it may, it was true that Lee Yeon didn’t really care whether they treated her well or not.
“Hey, Yeon-ah.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Today is an off-duty day.”
“… Yes?”
“… I got hurt, so I’m going to rest for a day.”
As I looked at the child’s expression that seemed a little incomprehensible, the fact that the child was used to working and thought that was life only became more evident.
And, seeing that he was getting dressed to go out to guard the security, even though he had heard the words to rest, I could tell how busy he was with his work, and how he had never learned how to rest.
Of course, it wasn’t that they made it this way, and it was bigger because there was no one to tell them. What does that matter? They didn’t tell them, so they did the same thing.
What really broke their hearts was that the child was living his life as usual, regardless.
Meanwhile, Baek Yi-han and Choi Jin-ah were talking to each other.
“… . Can’t you think about it one more time?”
“Are you saying you’re taking Yeoni out?”
Now, the two were quietly talking to each other at the table where nothing was coming out. It was also largely because they didn’t know when or where the poison would come out and make them sick.
“Yeah. Mom knows best what that means.”
“… . So I plan to talk to your grandparents too. Ask them to help you.”
“That’s- No, that’s not the problem! If we catch you, Mom will die! If we catch you, you’ll be dragged off to war no matter what! Just, here-”
“Then what if your brother gets a fatal injury again?”
“… … … .”
He couldn’t answer either. It was already too late, that was a given.
When I thought about the way my brother looked, it wasn’t the kind of reaction a normal person would have. But that didn’t mean I had any reason to risk my life and leave this place.
Whatever happens, it will be discovered without fail. The moment it reaches the king’s ears, he will always know where and how you are hiding…
What’s the point of running away with it?
The list of all those who are going to battle will be delivered. Soon, evil spirits will gather in front of the country’s barrier. Even if you hide it until then, you will definitely be discovered after that time.
In that case, there would be no way to cover that golden eye. Even though they were both divine beasts, the magnitude of the divine dragon’s power was as different as heaven and earth.
“But that’s not right. Grandfather is going to take his brother’s place? That’s just a lame excuse! All the children of the Shinigami clan who can fight must go to that battle and fulfill their respective roles!
That’s the law… Even if my brother lost his arm, he’s not a person who can’t fight. What are you going to do about that!”
“… .”
There was no way to deceive them. Everyone had to decide to tell the story that the child was in a coma, but it wasn’t common for a child to fall into a coma.
Because it’s usually something that comes only when you lose your ability or are on the verge of death.
At that young age, my abilities were fading away? That in itself was nonsense. Usually abilities fade away as you get older.
It was difficult to say that the wounds they had suffered were great, but they were the ones who had a strong sense of duty to work for the country. Why did most of the collateral branches of the Shinsoo do work that was connected to their own family business?
That’s because it’s an instinct engraved in them. It’s not like she didn’t know that. In fact, that child could have been driven by instinct and gone to battle. That was the biggest problem.
Still, it wasn’t like there weren’t any methods that came to her mind.
Judging from the child’s characteristics and behavior that I’ve seen so far, it was clear that the child would follow orders. If so, then just use that.
“If you tell Yeon-i that, she can take her out no matter what. She’s not the type of kid who wouldn’t follow that order.”
“Let’s say Hyung goes against his instincts like that, then what about Dad?”
“… … .”
“If Mom disappears, Dad won’t stay still! If it’s related to the death penalty, he’ll try to find her first! There’s no way!
There’s only one country in this world, this Jo-na-ra! Where on earth are you going! You’ll either get caught by the king or by your father! It’s one of the two! ”
“We’ll have to find out from now on. He said he’ll leave when he’s ready. You should go back too. You have work to do, don’t you?”
“… . Anyway, I’m against it. It’s too dangerous. ”
She watched her son storm out of his room like that, and there was nothing she could say. What he said was right.
But what can we do? It’s already happened.
He would take the child away. That was the unchanging truth. He no longer had the confidence to stand by and watch what the child had gone through.
“So, you’re taking your son with you?”
It was the words of an old man who resembled Baekhan. He was looking at her seriously at her words.
I was a little taken aback by my daughter-in-law’s sudden words, but now it was something I had expected.
‘Poison, amputation of limbs… I’ve seen these stories and these incidents before my eyes, so there’s no way a child who was against the education of illegitimate children would like to have a child here.’
It had been a long time since he had heard the story of the child coming back with a cut off arm, but he had not approached the child because he thought the child would not want to be that close to him.
In fact, it would be more correct to say that I felt like there was nothing I could do for the child.
“Yes, Father.”
“… . Can you handle it? The moment you get caught, your head might fly off. ”
“But I don’t want to send the child out. The child was already injured before he could fight the poison. If he fights the poison, I don’t know how much more he will be injured. My father and that person both came back from that place with injured eyes.
There are also many scars that cannot be washed off.”
“… . Sigh… .”
These were undeniable facts. Fighting evil was, strictly speaking, like confronting a collection of evil emotions.
There were more than one or two people who went crazy during the process. Even with the Black Tortoise’s defense equipment, it was difficult.
In fact, it was for that reason that those with strong abilities chose to suppress their emotions… .
Even if I later returned the feelings, or even if I taught him how to feel them, it was still unknown whether the child would get better.
However, leaving the child alone or taking him to war was a matter of concern for them, because no one knew what would happen to the child.
So, that was it. Even if the child had been poisoned, he thought that it was wrong for him, who had already had the greatest influence on the decision, to appear in front of the child.
Didn’t the child already start to feel bad because of his own fault?
‘… . I already feel a great sense of trouble in the house.’
Taking all that into account, he chose to distance himself from the child.
“… If you’re going, go after you’ve heard of the House of Zhujak.”
“Yes?”
“… I feel sorry for the child. I heard the general situation from Han. He said he already called the other gods, so go then.
Because it’s still a long way to go before the liquid reaches the gate.”
“… . Yes. Thank you for your permission. I will take my leave now. ”
“… . Yeah.”
As he watched her retreat, Baek Seo-han had no choice but to put the bear’s paw, which he rarely smoked, into his mouth.
This was because he knew best that this series of events was largely due to his order to raise the child as an illegitimate child.
“… … . Was I wrong? Ju-on.”
Baek Seo-han began to fall into deep thought as he called out the name of the previous prince, who had been the most hypocritical of them all.
The answer is, because I wanted to deny and avoid it, even though I knew it was already there. Because I wanted to believe that it would get better, that there was no better way.
-‘You don’t have to be so obsessed with ideas, you rascal! Oh my, if only that bastard Baekhan were a little more like me!’
He just breathed out smoke bitterly, recalling what his old wife had said, now that she was no longer a cat but a tiger.
