episode_0005
by adminThe first time I heard that the kid had to stay away from here.
It was fine until then.
At that moment when it seemed like I was pregnant with twins, there was a tradition my husband explained to me.
The power of the Sashinsu family is that when twins are born, the older brother born first has greater power.
However, the ability to inherit power is not innate.
On the other hand, the younger brother is weaker, but can inherit abilities.
So, it is said that the main custom of the Sasinsu family is that when twins are born, the twin brother takes over as the head of the household.
‘And he said that he educated his twin brother so that he wouldn’t be greedy for the position of the head of the household.’
But I didn’t know that it would separate me and the child in that way and make it known that he was an illegitimate child.
“… . Sigh.”
I was about to pass by the flower garden, feeling upset… .
When I stepped down from the front lines and began to take care of the family affairs, I came across the deputy commander I had recommended.
‘Why is he… over there… ‘
And behind that, I saw a child.
Silver hair, golden eyes.
The color I know best.
It was a color that no one in this place could have unless they were direct descendants.
‘A little smaller than my peers…’
It even seemed smaller than that young Lee Han.
-Knock knock.
That child is my child.
Instinct screamed.
How many times have I expressed my regrets to my husband in order to meet that child.
In the end, we always fought because he didn’t listen to all of that.
Right now, over there. In front of you, within arm’s reach if I just call your name.
I had a child.
‘You have to know the preemptive strike.’
Because the moment Seonje saw me, it was clear that he would tell me to go back.
I faced Lee Yeon as quietly as possible.
“…Madam?”
I could hear Seonjae’s panicked voice, but it didn’t matter.
The most important thing to me was that I met this child again.
“… Hello?”
“… .”
The child’s expression was unreadable.
I thought I was good at reading people’s emotions while rolling around in the battlefield.
The child’s expression seemed almost blank.
I even questioned whether this was the face of a five-year-old child.
‘I’m not someone who became stupid because of torture…’
How can this little kid be so emotionless?
I couldn’t understand.
At that moment, the words he had said flashed through my mind.
‘That child is too strong. So, we must educate the successor.’
…I didn’t know it meant this.
I don’t even know what it means to be strong.
How can such a young child have such great strength?
“Who are you?”
While I was looking at the child and thinking about various things, the child asked me a question.
“Ah, I’m… Choi Jin-ah. I’m the head of this household. Who are you?”
The child wouldn’t know me.
Even if I knew this child, this child would not know me. I should not have pretended to know this child.
So, explaining it like this would be more suitable for the child.
“My name is Baek Yi-yeon. Ma’am.”
Lee Yeon called me “Madam”.
The word ‘Madam’ made my heart ache so much.
‘Why does it have to be this way?’
Although these facts were still incomprehensible to me, I wanted to teach Yeon-i what she was learning right now.
“What is this guy doing right now?”
“You are learning weapon skills.”
“No technology?”
You’ve already reached that level of skill?
Even though I had stepped back from the front lines, I was well aware of the intensity of the Baekho Army’s training.
However, even though Lee Yeon was my husband’s son, I didn’t think he would have the skills to learn martial arts.
‘That can’t be true.’
“Did you check correctly, Jeseon?”
“That’s right, ma’am.”
“… .”
Jeseon is not the kind of kid who would lie and start something. That’s why I put him in the position of deputy commander.
That meant that Lee Yeon really had mastered martial arts to that extent.
“Did you say your name is Lee Yeon?”
“Yes.”
“If it’s okay, can I tell you?”
“Madam!”
“… Jeseon, I have a favor to ask just this once. Please keep it a secret from him.”
“… . Okay.”
First of all, Je-seon stepped down.
Even just the fact that I could meet my child like this made me feel so good.
So much.
I was a little taken aback by the fact that a woman suddenly showed up and offered to help me improve my martial arts skills.
Because I’ve never met this woman before.
But, what is it?
Something made my chest feel heavy.
My heart strangely raced as I watched this person grab the items for me and step forward to explain them to me one by one.
‘… I’ve never even seen this person.’
I kept feeling like I missed something.
I don’t know who this person is, but I’m starting to get the feeling that I shouldn’t be near them.
‘But since you are my lady, I cannot disobey your orders.’
It looks like you’ve got something pent up, so I guess I’ll just hang out with you for a bit.
“Is this your first time handling a weapon?”
“Yes.”
“I see. Hmm… Then let’s start with the sword?”
“Okay.”
-Clang, clang.
“… Well, I guess there isn’t a sword that’s the right size… . The only thing that fits is… . Ah. This is it.”
“… Madam, isn’t that a small sword that assassins carry around?”
“If Lee Yeon-i enters now, it will be just the size of a regular person. Okay, do you want to hear it?”
He quietly accepted the sword the woman gave him.
It had some weight to it, but it wasn’t heavy.
“Okay, first of all, how much is the black?”
“It’s just a little heavy.”
“Okay, that’s usually a one-armed sword, but since you’re short right now… let’s try using both arms.”
“Yes.”
He holds the sword with the hands of a child who is told that he is small.
“Now, swing it from top to bottom.”
-humming.
“… . Hmm. Not bad for a first swing. After all, is that guy’s son? ”
“… .”
Does this woman know about me?
Well, that’s probably why he didn’t look so flustered when he saw me.
“Um… But that’s strange. Jeseoya!”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“I remember hearing that when he swung his sword, it made a clean sound from the beginning. Is that right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“… . Hmm. So this is not right?”
I don’t even know what those two are talking about.
But they started to talk slowly.
“That may be the case. Each of the Baekho family’s children has a special weapon.”
“… Hmm. Now that it’s come to this, let’s try using it all.”
… . I think I’ll try using all the weapons… .
This one is the standard length, so you can get one that’s shorter or longer.
however….
-Sreung… .
‘This kind of thing only happens in long distances.’
“Is it your attitude this time?”
“… . How did you know?”
“I knew it sounded longer than this.”
“… . So?”
There was a slightly curious look in the eyes of my wife as she looked at me.
“Okay, let’s swing this around like an attitude?”
“Yes, I understand.”
-humming.
“… Hmm… . This time it’s not particularly clean. Should I try a small one this time?”
“Yes.”
A particularly small knife came in.
“… . This is… .”
I think it would be better to throw it rather than swing it.
… Should I swing it as if I was throwing it?
-Fit.
“… !”
“… ?”
moment
“How did you do it?”
“Because it was so small… I thought I’d throw it… .”
“… Ah. Now that I think about it, I didn’t really teach you how to swing it properly. ”
“But Madam, usually Baekhoga’s children do this quickly even if you don’t tell them. There is also a concept of Doljabi, where they follow the first thing they wake up to.”
“Well, he’s good at reading numbers too… So too… . Hmm… . Maybe it would be better to teach him assassination?”
“Maybe so.”
What on earth are these people talking about in front of the parties involved?
“That would be good. But first, you have to learn all the weapon techniques, so let’s focus on assassination techniques and teach other weapon techniques. Since you’re a child of the Baekho family, you should be able to use them all.”
The woman named Madam said to me with a warm smile that made me feel as if she had high expectations for me.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
…Why do I have an ominous feeling?
After the training was over, I just watched the child go.
“… The progress is faster than I thought… .”
It was obvious that the child was losing his emotions.
I felt like I was going to become really stupid if I kept going like this.
‘I want to use my hands before that…’
However, it was difficult to openly go look for the child.
‘If I do that, he’ll find out and start complaining again. I can’t keep fighting and let Lee Han grow up alone…’
… I was truly at a loss.
