The next day.

​

It was just another ordinary day, no different from any other day, where I spent time training like any other day and meeting the master I was supposed to serve.

​

These are the days when I quietly watch the sparring taking place in the sparring room that has finally been half-rebuilt.

​

In those days, a sudden change came into play.

​

-grasp.

​

The sound of an arrow flying reached my ears.

​

I immediately ran towards the master from that spot.

​

With a rattling sound, he snatched the arrow.

​

“Yeon-ah?”

​

“Kyung? What the heck is this… .”

​

They didn’t really realize the situation. Well, it’s only natural that they didn’t notice since they were sparring.

​

“Krrrr… … .”

​

From the arrow. The ground melts with a whizzing sound.

​

“Kyung, what the heck is this-…?”

​

They seemed to finally understand the situation when they saw the object in my hand.

​

I immediately guided him.

​

You shouldn’t be here right now.

​

“Come in.”

​

If the young master dies from such an attack, then I will be the next to die, despised by these power-users.

​

That was something I also declined to do. Rather- I would like to see that warm light again… No, now is not the time to think about such things, nor can I.

​

“Call out the soldiers.”

​

The moment the previous head of the household quickly stepped forward to take control of the situation, I felt a sense of discomfort.

​

“No way!”

​

“What?”

​

A moment of hesitation at my words.

​

-grasp.

​

Another arrow flew in again.

It’s dangerous to go right now. In the end, I took out the daggers I was holding from my waist.

“I’ll catch it.”

​

It seems like he thought that if he muffled my presence to this extent, I wouldn’t be able to find him.

​

But, that’s a mistake.

​

‘I trained myself to find people in a place where there was no sound at all, one night.’

​

I was able to find those things all at once.

​

-Pot.

​

My dagger, which had flown in in an instant, began to descend, carrying something else with it.

​

“Keuk- keuk… .”

​

It was a masked man. The thing that was lodged right in his head was enough to kill him.

​

He quietly draws his sword.

​

At that sight, both of them were astonished.

​

I couldn’t figure out why. I just looked at them and said.

​

“What would you like to do?”

​

“… … .”

​

The master still looked at me in a daze, and Seondae managed to pull himself together and spoke to me.

​

“Are you okay?”

​

“Yes.”

​

“… . Yeah, I guess so.”

​

After a brief commotion, people gathered.

​

While the knights rushed to take care of the situation, the previous head of the household took me and the young master to another place.

​

“… … … .”

​

The young master seemed shocked. Well, I guess I was inconsiderate in this regard. The young master probably never developed the tolerance for such things.

​

I, having indirectly experienced what it was like to take a life once or twice, and having trained myself not to be swayed by such emotions, had no problem with this.

​

But I forgot that it wasn’t me.

​

As I come to realize these facts one by one, I still can’t get over the feeling that I’m defective.

​

I had to take that into account. The moment I forgot that, it was no different from forgetting my duty as a guardian.

​

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I was immature.”

​

When I spoke and apologized, the master seemed slightly dumbfounded.

​

It seemed like he didn’t know why I was apologizing.

​

Then, the predecessors stepped forward.

​

“No, you did nothing wrong. If you did something wrong, it was me. You suggested running away right away.

​

But I was wasting my time, and I was afraid that you would suffer more damage because of it, so I caught you in a hurry.

​

Well done.“

​

My predecessor praised me by saying that. But, why? I felt frustrated for some reason.

​

“It seems a little dangerous to proceed or do anything more today. I’ll explain it to that bastard, so you two should both go back to your rooms.”

​

A little bit empty, no. A little bit stuffy.

​

It was the end of the day.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

It was a peaceful day. My brother was by my side, and I was training.

​

My brother is watching.

​

That one observation was one of the things that made me strong.

​

I couldn’t do it half-heartedly because I knew he was standing there. He was my brother after all.

​

Don’t you want to show off how great you are at least to your family?

​

I knew that you would definitely feel uncomfortable. You can tell by the way my brother was treated, the atmosphere, and the wounds.

​

In the first place, weren’t those records there?

​

Didn’t my brother eat poison?

​

Just with those things alone, it was already becoming more difficult to approach my brother. Would my brother really care for this family? Would he like it? Was I already too far away to narrow the distance?

​

At that moment, I was having that thought.

​

“You little punk! Can’t you concentrate!”

​

At his words, I suddenly came to my senses and focused on the sparring-

​

Suddenly, a powerful energy came rushing towards me.

​

-A string.

​

With the sound of the tree breaking, my brother was looking at the tree while growling.

​

In his hand he held an unknown arrow, and the poison on it was melting the floor.

​

Only then did I realize.

​

‘Ah, it’s a raid.’

​

When he said he was going to run away, I actually thought about running away too. It was an attack, wasn’t it?

However, my grandfather did not do that, and my older brother saved him.

​

However, apart from that, it was very difficult to look at the person who fell because of the dagger thrown by his brother.

​

He wouldn’t leave my mind. I had to watch him with my own two eyes, panting hard and making incomprehensible sounds.

​

As I watched the life he had taken, I had to suffer.

​

I couldn’t understand. Why on earth did I do that?

​

My brother was just my brother. My brother was just my brother. But. Why. When I look at my brother, I feel anxious that he might take my life.

​

When I looked at him, I remembered the image of him throwing the dagger with the same indifferent face as before.

​

Despite that, there was nothing I could do. I knew that, so I said nothing.

​

Perhaps because he knew of my discomfort, my brother apologized to me. I didn’t know why.

​

First of all, he gave me an apology.

​

He said he was not considerate. That was not it.

​

My brother just thought of me and did that for me.

​

To be exact, he did it with everyone in mind.

​

Because I judged it to be dangerous.

​

And yet I… .

​

Without saying anything, I sent my brother to his room.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

“So, how do you feel about flying to Baekho-ga alone, ignoring my words like that, huh? You damn son!”

​

Blue eyes, blue hair. Appearance that makes him look a bit like a gangster.

​

To his sharp eyes, the person wearing the same clothes as the other members of the National Assembly was none other than Cheongryong.

​

“You must have come back late at night, come up with some excuse. Do you know how much this father suffered yesterday because you were gone, you idiot?”

​

“… . Oh, I’m sorry.”

​

He just scratched his head and looked away.

​

“… You have to tell me properly so I can decide whether to help that little white tiger or not. What did you see?

As all the gods feel, this generation’s dragon is not normal. He shouldn’t be giving his daggers to that damn sun. ”

​

“… Haa. A child without emotions.”

“What?”

​

A child without emotions. Those who deal with life know better than anyone that this is not something that can be easily created.

​

“… . Are you sure?”

​

“Yes. Ah- well… . It’s getting a little better now.”

​

“Getting better? Wait, that can’t be. If you don’t have emotions, does that mean you have a head injury? That’s not it… .

Abuse?”

​

The blue dragon pondered for a moment, then asked, getting closer to the answer. The little blue dragon nodded.

​

At that moment, a spirit flowed out from the blue dragon at those words, causing the ground to crack slightly.

​

“These crazy guys… . Ha. They kept saying they were sasaengs or something, but they’re still the same? These guys.”

​

“Yes?”

​

“I don’t know about you, but… How many times have you done that? Those bastards.”

​

“… … . Father, what is that… .”

​

“How many families in our family have white hair? Even if they don’t have golden eyes.”

​

“Yes? Yes. Why is that?”

​

“They are all children who were completely ruined by twin education. Our ancestors brought them here and took care of them. That’s why we hate Baekhoga.”

​

“… … How many generations have you been saying this has been going on for?”

​

“Yes, that’s why I tried to get rid of the twin rule every time… . The Zhou Dynasty and the Xuanwu families refused, saying, “If the twins cause misfortune, who can stop them?”

Hyunmoo, I understand to some extent, but it’s so absurd that the main character in charge of the liquid is the one who does it.

Haein, you, definitely help that kid find his feelings, I’ll make sure to make sure Abi doesn’t find out about Shinryong. ”

​

“… ! Yes!”

​

It was the moment when a divine being who had been watching the situation from the sky finally caught the opponent’s tail.

​
