by adminInside the magnificent dragon-filled palace, now familiar to the man, the man continued to think.
Why did the woman take the child? That was the first question that had to be addressed.
That question had to be resolved. Even if he loved the child no matter how much, why would he take the child away while risking his own life?
If she had sent the child away alone, the child might not have died as an illegitimate child with the power of a Grim Reaper. But she did not choose that method.
So then what is the reason?
‘Can’t the child survive?’
No, that kid is strong. No matter where you throw him, he’ll survive by using his abilities as a collateral.
‘Then, does the child not know the ways of the world?’
It doesn’t matter. Since you’re strong, you can do anything. Then why on earth are you obsessed with that child? I don’t understand.
If it was because I cared about my child, it would have been more reasonable to tell her everything on the spot. However, she didn’t do that.
‘Did you judge that there was a risk of running wild?’
I’ve heard that there was only one instance in which a white tiger almost died. No, I’ve even seen it. That huge, great white tiger running wild.
That’s why he called them together in a hurry. He looked at the direct lineage, and then the collateral lineage, and through that, he couldn’t tell which one was the illegitimate child.
That’s why they were called out in a hurry. Of course, there was a backlash.
Okay, so let’s say there’s only one reason she didn’t tell you. She didn’t tell you all about it because she might run wild.
If that’s the case… .
“A child who is thought to have escaped the danger of death because he was born out of wedlock. The least we can do for that child.”
Although he had only seen the child a few times, he had already become accustomed to manners and the manners of a servant. If that were the case, then it would be said that he had some unknown loyalty to Baekhoga.
What does it mean to have an inexplicable sense of loyalty?
“The story of being loyal to them.”
If that’s the case, then it’s understandable why they reacted that way and left. How would a child accept the fact that he was a direct descendant of the real family while he was loyal as an illegitimate child?
That could create the possibility that the child might run wild.
In addition, it was said that the child almost died recently.
“So if you say you took her… .”
I could understand it to some extent
So the conclusion was one. She wanted to run away with the child because she was afraid of ruining the child. The child was in danger of dying and might run wild.
But, if you take her there as an order? That makes sense to some extent. But… .
“What should I do with that damn woman?”
I kept wondering what to do with the woman who stole what I needed most. I remember what that woman looked like. She looked like a collateral member of the main character.
However, he didn’t seem like someone who had previously worked as a nobleman. I remember that he had personally volunteered and participated in the war.
‘Then, you’re saying that you’re not a collateral of the main author…?’
That appearance is the exclusive property of the Zhujak. If that is the case, then it must mean that he is someone who has fallen from the Zhujak family… .
I understand that he is a person who has broken away from the main writer’s family. Then the next question is: Where and how did he break away from? I had to know that in order to do what happened next.
It couldn’t have just fallen from the sky. All we need to know is whether or not he’s a collateral of the main character.
“Should I send a letter first?”
The collateral branches of each house of the masters. We need to contact them. Ask them if they know anything about Choi Hyun-ah. If it becomes clear that they are not nobles, it will be obvious where to send the knights.
“After I bring that child, I guess I’ll have to kill any woman who gets in my way.”
If that happens, there will be no one to protect Baek Yi-han, the only one who can continue the power… The ability to continue the power will be passed on to the child.
“The day when we have it all is not far away.”
If I can just achieve that, I can do anything I want.
*
A strong sense of something rushed over me. There was no one in this forest, no animal that could make me feel this way.
No matter what attacked me, I caught and killed them all.
It wasn’t for nothing that I helped the child with his martial arts training. It wasn’t like I was wearing the commander’s title for show. But, this kind of strong feeling?
A strange sense of alarm went off in my head telling me I shouldn’t go any further.
‘… . I always ignored things like this and got seriously hurt… .’
It wasn’t an ability that I developed while I was at Baekho-ga. It was a unique feeling that I had from the beginning. Of course, after I finished inferring about it, I chose to change my method.
But… If you change it right now, will the child be convinced? There would be various problems. The child would not be convinced, and on a trip to see the world, suddenly turning around and heading to another territory. If a woman leading a family did that, she would definitely misread the map and be doubted about her abilities.
‘… Of course, the child is not the type of person to show that… .’
I knew better than anyone that Lee Yeon-in wouldn’t show it, but what I was more scared of was… the fact that the child would realize that all of this was a lie.
If he had noticed that fact, it was clear that the child would not go with me. And if that happened? Would the child survive? I could only conclude that it would not.
For a child who didn’t know anything about the world and only knew how to work, living alone meant that he might be exploited by other people, just like he was exploited by this damned family.
So that’s what happened.
The fact that the child kept disappearing from my sight was scary in itself. What if he disappeared from my sight? What if the child died after that? I couldn’t erase that assumption.
This time, he came back with his arm cut off. How scary that must have been.
“Sigh… .”
I let out a sigh so that the child wouldn’t hear. I was so lost as to what to do now. The forest still showed no sign of ending. This damned sigh kept screaming for me to keep coming out.
It was so heavy, I wondered if it could even be called a sigh. It was a sigh of fear at losing the child. I didn’t know if I could call it a sigh, but the feeling of it just coming out of annoyance and the feeling of this I was breathing now were different. They had a completely different weight.
I never wanted to lose my child. I didn’t want to see him die. I didn’t want him to die and come back to me as a corpse, or for him to follow me as a young man when I died. I didn’t want any of that.
Whether it’s Lee Yeon or Lee Han, I earnestly hope to enjoy what I can, see what I can, and live that way, always, happily.
So, isn’t that why I’m making this choice and living like this now? I know that changing a child is difficult.
The personality that is formed and nurtured in childhood, when you are not working, does not change much as you grow up. If you have a strong personality, you will eventually lose your strength as you go through many things. But, isn’t this not the case?
That was why I had to come out with the child even now. I wanted to believe what he said no matter what, but hadn’t the child’s arm already been cut off and returned?
It’s not that I didn’t want to trust my husband. Isn’t he the person I love the most? The person I love and cherish the most, I have to trust and follow him, and I have to rule him so that he doesn’t worry about what’s going on inside and outside.
However, something happened that made me have no choice but to worry about the outside world.
So, this is what I decided to do. Of course, my husband was a cute cat to me, except that he was very considerate of me and never changed anything he had decided on.
If this incident hadn’t happened, with the child, I would have gone about my life as usual.
That’s why I hated this situation even more, and even if I wasn’t there, the family could still go back. Didn’t I leave the flexible Lee Han-i family behind?
Of course, it would be a bit difficult at first, but it would be possible to cope to some extent.
“Yeon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“If you wear the mask, let’s do many things.”
There were many things to do. It was possible to look around many places and go to many places. It was possible to go see flowers with the child there, but it was also possible to look around the mountains or the village.
I was able to do everything that I couldn’t do because I was busy.
So, even if it’s just for a little while, that’s fine.
I needed to spend time with my baby, even if I got caught in the end.
