by adminAn ordinary night.
That night, a groan of pain was heard from the flat wooden mansion.
“Madam, just a little more effort!”
“Ugh… !”
How bad was the labor pain?
When the woman’s voice could no longer be heard.
““Whoa—-!!!””
The voices of two boys rang out.
A huge halo of light. The aura, invisible to others, filled the mansion.
And at that moment.
-bang.
“Jin-ah!!”
A man with white hair and golden eyes, looking like a cat, opened the door and came in.
The man looked down at Jin-ah and the newborn children in bewilderment.
“Are you going to keep doing that?!”
“… ! Oh-Mother… .”
“Daughter-in-law, you’ve worked hard. Now that this mother is here, don’t worry.”
She suddenly followed behind and glared as she took care of the mother who had just given birth.
“Baek Han! You get out now!”
“ㅇ-Yes.”
The moment I left the door, feeling slightly embarrassed.
The man faced a man.
“Then why did you slam the door and come in?”
“Father.”
Is this what a man looks like when he gets old?
“Anyway, you look so much like me that it’s annoying.”
The old man continued speaking, his eyes tearing.
“Are they twins?”
“… Yes.”
“… Is that so.”
The old man walked quietly.
The man followed behind her quietly.
“… What are you planning to do?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Education. Don’t you know tradition?”
“… .”
The man simply bowed his head.
“Listen to your father. Traditions exist for a reason.”
“… .”
“And didn’t you feel it too? The power that child had.”
That’s true.
Why did the man kick open the door and come in?
It was because of the strong energy felt inside.
It was also because it was rare for such a strong energy to be generated, so I was worried and kicked the door open and went in.
“… . Details in the office-”
“When a child is born, even if he or she is a royal, it is taboo for him or her to enter this family. Don’t you know that?”
“… .”
“Decide now. This is a big deal. This is urgent. You have to decide how to raise the child.”
“… .”
The man’s head was filled with confusion.
The fact that the child who came to him had great powers was unchangeable.
Then I had to learn how to deal with it.
“Think carefully. If you have emotions, you will ruin things. That child is born with the power to ruin this country alone.”
“… … .”
A lot of thoughts were running through my head.
I still don’t know what’s the right thing to do with that child.
“… .”
However, there was one thing I knew.
When you don’t know what’s right, more often than not, the first thing you think of ends up being the best.
“… … . Okay. First of all… . I will tell you to do that education.”
“Good idea.”
And at this time they did not know.
I never thought this would become a sadness that would last a lifetime.
The annex seems to be more shabby than the main mansion.
There were countless people living here who looked like servants.
-Ding ding ding
The bell rang.
It was the moment that signaled the start of work.
“Ugh… .”
Early in the morning at 6 o’clock.
It’s a little early for a young child to be waking up.
I always had to wake up at that early hour.
When that happened, what I faced was, as always, the pranks of my peers.
-Kudangtang.
“Oh, sorry! I thought you’d be able to avoid this easily since you’re the son of Baek Hanim!”
“… .”
It’s okay.
This kind of thing has been more familiar to me since a long time ago.
I now know that this is happening to me because I am an illegitimate child who seems a little better than the collateral line.
Of course, it took a lot of time to get used to it.
“Everyone is here!”
“Yes!”
The man who was acting as the leader told us our numbers.
“All 5 people in this room woke up!”
“I’ll tell you all the schedule! Baek–! You learn the letters and go make dinner right away!”
Each person was assigned a task to do.
At first, it was surprising that there were people older than me who were learning to write, but now it’s not so surprising.
They just came into this collateral house late.
It was only recently that I understood and accepted that fact.
Of course, that didn’t stop their harassment.
“You learn the texts and history, and then head straight to the training ground.”
“Are you talking about the training ground?”
“Yes. He ordered me to go and help maintain the training ground and help with training.”
Although there were occasional incomprehensible names, living here was livable except for the people who harassed me.
“Okay.”
This is already the fifth time I’ve had this happen.
The reason is that I stopped caring now.
Because I learned that worrying about such things doesn’t do anything for me.
Just, quietly.
They just go out and do what they tell them to do.
Lecture room.
To be exact, it was a training room for the collateral line.
I overheard adults say that it was amazing that the school looked like the same school that everyone else went to.
“For those of you who are learning about the history of this place for the first time, let me explain again.”
It was at this time that the young collaterals came back here again, and it was time to review history for those who had not yet learned it.
“First of all, the place you are in, as you know, is the Zhou Dynasty. Is there anyone who knows the founding myth?”
No one goes first.
There may be some who do this because they don’t know, but most people don’t come forward even if they know.
If you do that, you’ll get caught.
The collateral children sent here are usually children who have not been treated properly and are not in a position to succeed to the position of head of the collateral family.
They already know each other well.
The pecking order between collateral branches is something that they already know about by the time they are around 7 or 8 years old.
And. Children who come right after they are born or at the age of 3 actually don’t know the history of the founding of the country.
“Nobody knows.”
It’s not that the instructor doesn’t know that.
But, even then, there was another reason why he asked.
“This country was founded by the King of Zhou. He is known to us as the founder of the nation, Jushin.”
It was a tedious topic, but to summarize, this is it.
In the beginning, God commanded the Lord to establish a country, and at that time, he sent four divine beasts to protect and maintain the country.
These were the white tiger, the blue dragon, the red bird, and the black tortoise respectively.
Each of these guardian angels has transformed into the current guardian angel family, and each possesses mysterious abilities.
And now, this noble family, which has gathered together these collateral branches, is also one of those families.
Baekho was in charge of military affairs and military strategy.
Since Baekho is in charge of everything related to the military, he asked that question in order to find a great man who could step up and do the job even in this kind of atmosphere.
‘… Then what are you going to do? You’re just going to have an illegitimate child.’
I think I was full of these thoughts at the time.
I have no intention of understanding what the so-called noble authors are thinking. I just do what I am told and I will have no problem making a living.
It was the truth of the world that I learned at a young age.
Now I’m learning a little more about the writing I can do,
At 8 o’clock in the morning, I received a simple dry bread and headed to the training ground.
This is the treatment we always received.
In the first place, since they were illegitimate children or collateral offspring of Baekho, they did not have to struggle that much, and there were no people who sang about malnutrition.
“ha-”
Still, it was inevitable that I would feel hungry.
Then what do you do?
It’s not like the things I have to do are disappearing.
-Dalgrak.
8 a.m. The time when Baek Yi-yeon prepares the training ground.
“Why on earth would you leave that kid there?!”
A red-haired woman who was almost finished eating began to question.
“… . I said it, Jin-ah, it was necessary.”
“Baekhan!”
“Choi Jin Ah!!!”
-bang.
It was the first time.
The first time he got angry was at a dinner with her.
He, who had married out of love and always yielded when something like this happened, did not back down this time.
The reasons were clearly explained sufficiently.
Why does that child need that kind of education?
Still, she was not convinced.
“What kind of power is that? Even if everyone rushes in, they might not be able to stop it!?”
“… .”
Now the man was beginning to show a look of resignation.
He also had a hard time.
It was his own child.
They were raising such a child as a soldier without even receiving proper treatment.
How can you like that?
“… Sorry. It’s already been decided.”
“… .”
Another child, who was watching his parents arguing from the side, just watched the situation with eyes that showed he did not understand.
