-Knock… . Knock… .

    It’s burning inside.

    The inside of the wide, wide smokehouse is on fire.

    It was inevitable.

    It was natural that this place would burn.

    that….

    “… You’re doing well.”

    The child fell into a state of meditation more easily than expected.

    Entering deep meditation and calling forth something of oneself was not an easy task.

    The biggest reason is that it doesn’t take that long.

    Who would have dared to expect that everything Lee Yeon did would progress so quickly?

    Since I entered meditation so quickly, my animalization would also proceed quickly.

    ‘I hope it passes without any problems…’

    Of course, if you did that, it would be even better.

    If there were no problems, all of this would have been just his own worries, and if that were the case, it would have been a matter of simply changing the family’s policy.

    Even if that weren’t the case, it would now be possible to have the child live in the main palace.

    At least, as a loyal vassal and knight who protects Baek Yihan.

    Because I could have made it look like that.

    And if that happened, the issue with Jin-ah would be resolved to some extent.

    However, if the opposite were true… I had no idea what would happen if problems arose.

    Either destroy everything or drive me to my death. If that happens, then it means that my suspicions are true, and at the moment when my suspicions become true, all of this…

    -Keep going.

    It becomes something that cannot be helped.

    ‘So please, there won’t be any problems.’

    As I prayed, I looked down at my child.

    How much do I hate myself?

    We have been trained to suppress, kill, and stifle our emotions, and we live our lives unable to express them.

    I didn’t know how much pain it would cause. I just knew that the road ahead was dark and difficult to walk.

    I looked down for a long time, waiting for some change to occur in the child.

    That was the moment.

    “Ugh… .”

    The child began to react in some way.

    -Ss …

    Slowly, hair began to grow all over his body.

    The tail begins to appear. Ears grow.

    Okay, now it’s starting. Please, take control. Please, I beg you.

    Prove to me that you can control your powers properly and live without any problems.

    And, such expectations are truly colorless and vain.

    “Kaaa …

    The child just kept growing bigger.

    It felt like it had grown to the size of a mountain, just like the record of the invitation that it was as big as a mountain, enough to fill up this place.

    It was something of an unidentifiable level.

    A big, huge, beast.

    One that no one, including my generation and even my father’s generation, has ever seen.

    The largest white tiger was born. However… .

    “Krrr… .”

    It seemed as if there was nothing to see.

    It couldn’t be helped. A force that strong.

    The power of the Four Guardians is ultimately the power that the first guardian deity brought with them. When drawing out that power, you must encounter a fragment of the power within.

    The smaller its power, the easier it is for the person to handle. However, if it is big, if it is too strong.

    “Kraaa …

    Now, like this… .

    “Damn it!”

    -bang!!

    Caused a riot.

    “Honey!!!”

    “Don’t come!!!”

    What I feared became reality. From my father on, what I feared became reality.

    -Kudduk.

    It was a situation where I had no choice but to clench my fist. In the end, it was proof that my ancestors were right. I wanted to see that I was wrong, I wanted to know that, I wanted to prove that my ancestors’ words and customs might have been wrong.

    however.

    ‘This isn’t it… .’

    Yeah, in a way it might have been planned from birth.

    The great power I felt from the moment I was born may have predicted that this would happen.

    -Ssss… .

    I, too, release my power to match the child. Even if I give it my all, I don’t know if I can stop it or not.

    But. At least… .

    Right now, I had to stop this kid.

    “… … ha… .”

    What on earth am I hoping to see while watching this?

    In fact, it’s all a lie, whether it’s ability or not, and what I’m seeing is just another trick to completely trample on my feelings.

    With that thought in mind, I just stare at the bitter memories that keep coming up.

    And yet, the steps do not stop. The deeper I go into my memories, the louder the growling sound of something resonating within me becomes.

    “Wrong.”

    Those were the first words I heard when I reached him.

    “… What?”

    “What you thought. You were wrong.”

    If that’s what I thought, then it’s nothing more than an ability and all that, and isn’t that all a lie, and isn’t the purpose to kill emotions?

    How do you know this about him?

    “What are you?”

    “What the heck, look carefully.”

    “… ?”

    “Doesn’t it look exactly like you?”

    That’s right.

    That was me.

    But how?

    Why am I here?

    I didn’t understand. I was confused. I couldn’t say anything.

    “What are you… .”

    “I am, you. To be exact, should I say it is an ability that you need to learn?”

    “… … A skill I need to learn?”

    So, is that my ability? How?

    “It’s natural that you don’t understand. Usually, abilities don’t take the same form as you.”

    “… . What?”

    “Of course. Other people don’t have this much power. It’s possible because you do it.”

    I didn’t understand what you were saying. What do you mean it’s possible for me?

    “You… . Well, I don’t know. Well, it’s better to leave it unknown. I just think you’re more capable than others.”

    “… … . Strong ability?”

    “Yes, the ability is more than twice as strong as others.”

    I didn’t understand that either. If that’s the case, then wouldn’t the conclusion be that the reason I’ve been treated so well is simply because my abilities are so strong?

    “… . Well, that might not be completely wrong… .”

    “Is it really true that this happened because I’m so strong?”

    “Yeah. You don’t seem that upset right now?”

    “Even if it’s unfair, you can’t feel it.”

    “Ah. What… . Don’t worry, it can happen.”

    When I heard that he had strong abilities, I thought to myself, “Is it possible for such things to happen?”

    But I only thought about it, and the emotions that came up inside me were close to 0.

    It was a given, since they were already tied up outside.

    The fact that I couldn’t feel anything wasn’t something that could change much.

    -Kukung.

    “What the!?”

    Suddenly, the inside shook.

    I couldn’t even figure out what the hell was going on.

    The sudden shaking was enough to catch me off guard.

    “Oh, well. It’s nothing. I’m just causing a bit of a ruckus outside right now.”

    “What?”

    “Why? I don’t like this place anyway. It’s the place that made you suffer, so why should I protect this place?”

    “… … .”

    I had nothing to say.

    Yes, it was an unchangeable fact that it was a place that made my life difficult by making me suffer and suffer. But.

    That doesn’t mean that what I can do changes.

    No matter what I did, they would keep me bound and tied down. Wherever I went, I was a person with the appearance of a white tiger,

    I couldn’t even go outside the country.

    Because I don’t know where something is out there.

    “What does it matter what’s outside, isn’t it more important to get out of here?”

    “That’s… well.”

    Honestly, I don’t know. Sometimes I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to die like this.

    In the end, it’s a matter of ability, and it’s up to me to decide.

    “Ha… You annoying guy. Just stay here for now. I’ll take care of everything.”

    “Keu- Heuheu… .”

    In the water, I was fighting the opponent with my sword, which I was best at.

    however.

    -Cool.

    They were no match for me at all.

    The ship was pierced and in pain, and it was not something that could be dealt with with the healing power that the water lily brought.

    No one has ever taken my sword… .

    “Creullaa!!!”

    That giant beast could even do that.

    No, there was no need to stop it.

    Because the weather didn’t work out.

    ‘At this point, I too can become an animal… .’

    There was no other answer than that.

    I would have been a much smaller white tiger than that kid.

    But now, there seemed to be no other answer.

    That was the moment.

    “Kreuk- Kreuk… .”

    The white tiger’s appearance was strange.

    It got smaller and smaller.

    Soon, it transformed into the appearance of a child.

    “… Ha… . Finally… .”

    -dump.
