***

Sayun, who returned from her trip to Murim, did not leave right away. Since it was polite to rest for a few days when returning to her hometown, she decided to go back to Hongseongmun and get a good rest.

Thanks to this, Geomseong returned to Hongseongmun after a long time.

Thanks to you, I took charge of the children.

“Ugh…”

Ha, last name, texture, line.

A baby with calm dark blue hair that resembles Geomseong.

An impressive castle with fiery red hair like a lotus.

Gyeol inherited Chaejin’s ebony black hair.

Sun is a child with gray hair who has a blunt expression like the older Sayoon, but looks just as warm.

Just as each baby looks different, they also have different personalities, so it is not normal to just take care of them.

I gently rocked the four babies in their respective baby baskets.

The four connected baskets shake and the babies who are looking at the decorations hanging in the air laugh.

“If you just look at that, it’s so beautiful.”

It’s because the kids haven’t cried yet, but if they start crying in earnest… Ugh.

No matter how superhuman I was, having four children crying in a row was a difficult attack to withstand.

How do people who aren’t truly superhuman raise their children?

“You. Don’t you need to get some sleep?”

Hongryeon spoke worriedly to me, who barely slept last night. But even so, you can’t put off what needs to be done.

“I guess I should just finish this and get some sleep. Big Sayun. Please make some ice.”

“Oh. Yes.”

She made ice with an ice ball and brought the chunk of ice she held out to her eyes. The heated eyes around my eyes are calming down. While I was resting for a while, the door opened and Chae-ryeon came in.

“Brother-in-law. This is Moonwoljeong… Ah. Were you resting?”

“Haha… did you bring it?”

“Yes. I don’t know if this is interfering with my rest. Are you okay?”

“It’s okay, so give it to me.”

“What is that?”

When Hongryeon looked puzzled, I handed out the documents. It is a story about the union of the Murim League, Gaekjan, Hong Seongmun, and Moon Woljeong.

When I have an important meeting, I’ll hold it at my guesthouse rather than at the Murim League, something like that…

If I lay the board like this, if the Black Lotus or a new force appears in the future, I will plan to make my guest room a meeting place.

Of course, if that happens, Island Hwaseong will develop further…

“Is it okay?”

“It’s not a bad thing. I can hear the land price of Seomhwaseong Fortress rising.”

As the island developed, land prices were rising exponentially, and naturally my land was becoming more expensive.

It’s not really strange for rich people to move around in search of stability, but…

Well, should this also be considered a good thing?

“The Lord of Seong will like it.”

More rich people = more taxes. I would like it more because the formula is established. The castle can also be expanded.

If things proceed in this way, Island Hwaseong could soon become a second-tier castle.

“The number of people trying to target you will increase.”

The older Sayoon spoke softly with a creepy expression on his face for a moment, and I nodded.

That’s something that can’t be helped.

Since I am the focal point, just kicking me out can cause quite a big blow to the political faction.

That’s why we can’t entrust our children to people we can trust.

Normally, I would have used a nanny, but I don’t have a useful nanny.

“We are here.”

Even if it’s not a nanny, I’m glad I have a useful helper.

The one who opened the office door and came in was Geomseong, who came up with Sayun yesterday and brought Hyeonhwi down.

I didn’t know much, but Hyunhwi had a knack for taking care of children. And what stands behind her…

“Sa-yun? Rest more. Why did you come down?”

“Hehe. I miss the kids.”

“Really? It just worked out well. It was when I started whining to be hugged.”

Sayoon smiled brightly and hugged the children one by one.

Even though she is very shy, she doesn’t seem to feel any pressure when the kids see her.

Are you saying it’s already Sayundan? I’m proud.

“Master. Guest has arrived.”

customer? No one will come now, right?

I saw Geomseong, Hongryeon, and Big Sayun, but they all shook their heads. Did he come to visit Chaejin, who is currently at Munwoljeong Pavilion?

Let’s go down first. I went down with Geomseong and I couldn’t help but flinch and shake my shoulders.

“Uh… um.”

An old man who shouldn’t be here was sitting in the corner of the guest room.

Next to him were two servants who clearly looked like experts, and two experts from his classmate.

It is full of experts that can only be felt from the outside.

In other words, this old man.

“Shhh.”

He is the emperor.

why?

Did you go undercover?

No, there are so many places to go in the world, so why go on a secret journey here?

The Emperor smiled brightly and offered him a seat.

“Sit down.”

“Ah. Yes.”

I sat down and he told me to pull the brazier to the side, probably because the weather was starting to get chilly, and then glanced at Yohwan.

She also seemed quite embarrassed that the emperor himself came.

“The shaved ice here is so delicious, right?”

Actually, shaved ice is over.

But since the emperor is looking for it, shouldn’t we make it?

Yohwan glanced at me, nodded and went upstairs. The older Sayun, who came down after a while, stared at the emperor for a moment and then went into the kitchen, and soon Yohwan came out carrying a basic shaved ice.

It’s “. After all, shaved ice tastes best when eaten in a warm place. Don’t you think so?”

“That’s right.”

“Then… Oh. This is delicious.”

“Thank you.”

“In addition to the shaved ice, I heard that the soup and rice served here after taking a bath is also excellent. I heard the soup was thick and there was a lot of meat in it.”

Why is the emperor interested in the soup here?

A person who doesn’t eat all kinds of delicacies even if they are presented to him.

I was dumbfounded and then laughed.

“Would you like me to roll you a bowl?”

“Haha. I’ll eat it later, after I take a bath.”

The Emperor shrugged his shoulders and spoke leisurely, then glanced at the Sword Saint. She had a calm expression, but she looked as if she would pull out her sword if she made a mistake.

Perhaps that was why the emperor’s side’s masters were also staring at the Sword Saint with murderous expressions.

“Are you here to have shaved ice?”

“Of course, it’s not just that. There’s a really interesting story these days. ah. Come to think of it. Did you hear?”

“Yes?”

“The Demonic Cult was greatly defeated and retreated.”

This is a story I too have heard.

It is said that the war in which Yura previously participated continued sluggishly, but was eventually pushed back from the Demon Bridge.

It must have been unable to withstand the aftermath of the collapse of the original Confucianism.

“I heard it from General Cheon not long ago.”

“I really like the news so quickly. And they say things are going well on the western side… Ah. right. The mine you recommended produced good iron, and the Gold Commission and Dongchang were very happy about it.”

“I would like to sincerely congratulate you.”

“Hahaha. okay. I heard there was another rare slope there. I heard you had four daughters?”

I smiled at him who was grinning.

“Yes. They are truly lovely children.”

“Okay. That is truly something worth celebrating. So that’s it. While we are celebrating, I have one question to ask.”

“Please tell me.”

“Are you planning on starting a family?”

“No.”

I declared, and the emperor stared at me intently, then nodded as if satisfied.

“If you need anything, come visit me anytime.”

After saying that, the emperor stood up.

So the emperor is making a proposal now.

If you’re thinking of joining hands with a mediocre power, let’s join hands with the imperial family.

Whether it’s authority, money, or power.

There is no power greater than the imperial family in the current empire. That’s why I told you not to go somewhere else because I can give you everything I can give you.

“There will be no power that I join hands with other than Hong Seong-moon and Moon Wol-jeong.”

“I hope so.”

The emperor tapped his ear.

Are you saying your classmate is watching?

I don’t really plan on starting a family, so it’s okay…

On the contrary, if something goes wrong, you have something to complain about, so it’s definitely not a bad thing.

No. From the imperial family’s point of view, they have a duty to protect our children from being taken advantage of, such as from being kidnapped, so doesn’t that mean that even if something happens, the masters of the class will step in and protect our children?

It’s a huge benefit. this.

In that case, it was impossible to just let the emperor go.

“You are thinking deeply about something. If you don’t know anything, please come to us at any time.”

“Hahaha! I’m really looking forward to that! What can Seonja Shinsan tell me!!”

Of course, the emperor would know quite a few things if he used his classmates or the imperial intelligence organization, but I know better about the parts that have not yet been revealed.

When the emperor comes later, this debt will have been repaid.

I watched him amble away and then sat down.

“I don’t know why that old man suddenly came.”

I chuckled at the boldness of the Sword Saint. She would be the only person in the world who could say something like that to the emperor.

“Who was it?”

Sayun came down holding Seong. No, more accurately, Seong-i was clinging to Sayun. On the other side, there is a halo, a grain next to it, and even a line on the back.

Strangely enough, my kids follow Sayun well.

“It would be nice…”

Chae-ryeon, who came with him, looked at Sayun as if she were jealous, but she was just embarrassed.

Strangely enough, when Chae-ryeon hugs him, he immediately starts crying.

As the apprentice said, it seems like children’s feelings can’t be helped.

“Anyway, how long are you going to take a break?”

“Well… there hasn’t been any special mission from the Murim Alliance yet.”

Some people travel to the martial arts world simply as if they are traveling, but there are also people like Sayun who do it with a sense of mission.

Both have their pros and cons, so I don’t want to say anything, but I hope you don’t overdo it.

“Okay. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Surprise. Ahaha… Sister. I understand.”

I guess Big Sayun’s serious words touched my heart. She smiled and nodded.

I watched them and then went up. Anyway, there is work left.

There were always women in the backyard of the guesthouse, where I could rest comfortably.

Geomseong, Hongryeon. And Chaejin, who seems to have just arrived.

And the great Sayoon, who escaped from the world of pain and despair and found happiness here.

And my lovely daughters.

Sayoon, who we were trying to protect along with them, was laughing with her friends Chaeryeon and Yura.

It is a heartwarming sight just to look at.

I calmly looked around the view of the guest room.

In the large bathhouse over there, Jibakryeong Namgungcheon hangs out with people, and occasionally a disciple comes by to look after his granddaughter.

The warriors from Munwoljeong are always staying at the Munwoljeong branch, and the warriors who received help from me have settled down in Seomhwaseong and become a source of strength for this place.

If you consider the emperor’s proposal today and the knowledge I have…

I really think we will be able to live without any major problems in the future.

I put the pipe in my mouth and tried to light it, but shook my head.

Now this is a place where babies stay.

You can’t make it smell like tobacco.

I thought as I chewed a bite of the confectionery.

okay.

This is satisfactory…

…..

When I think about it, it’s not enough.

Give me more!!
