“The matter I asked you last time was……”

“That part was handled without problem.”

“These days, there is nothing special about the news coming from the Murim Alliance.”

“Since I received so much support, I should work smoothly, Am.”

“Recently, it was said that a person named Deung Won-pyeong, a Soyogeomsu (逍遙劍手), single-handedly brought down a Heukdo sect in Hanam.”

“Huh… I’ll have to watch carefully.”

Na Won-gwang, the general of the Namgung family, settled down while listening to the conversations of other people holding important positions.

The atmosphere is such that all meetings on important agenda items are over and moved on to small talk.

Except for him, everyone else had the surname Namgung, so it was awkward to force the conversation to continue.

Na Won-gwang was appointed as the general manager of the Namgung family due to his involvement in the Murim Alliance with the current head of the family, Namgung Myeong.

Thanks to his decades of helping the head of the family and proving his ability, no one looked down on him.

Rather, the more important the person in charge of the family is, the more they recognize and respect Na Won-gwang’s abilities as a general.

But no matter how good he was at his job, being accepted into the family was a different matter.

Because Na Won-gwang was already married, it was impossible for him to become Daryl’s son-in-law.

It was not a world where it was considered a flaw to take a concubine if a man was capable, but Na Won-gwang’s wife came from an unknown family.

If Crown Prince Namgung took a woman from a prestigious family as his concubine, there was a good chance that matters would become complicated.

“I’ll go in.”

Drurrr

The Governor-General arrived in front of the head’s office and went inside to report.

Inside, Namgung-myeong was holding the family head’s seal and checking previously delivered documents.

He cast his gaze at the commander-in-chief in the same manner as he was handling his work and muttered quietly.

“Commander… You here again…!”

“Here are the issues that the head of the household should check.”

“Isn’t there too much work that I have to do myself…!”

“I have summarized this as best as I can.”

Namgung-myeong raised his fist in response to the commander-in-chief’s calm answer.

However, I could not bear to knock on the desk made of Haenam Hwanghwari, which is said to be thousands of years old, and my arms were shaking.

It was proof that the policy put in place by the governor to prevent the head of the family from constantly destroying the desk while working was effective.

Namgung-myeong, the person involved, was feeling frustrated because he could not swing his arms comfortably.

“Um…?”

At that time, among the new documents brought by the Commander-in-Chief, the one placed at the top caught Namgungmyeong’s attention.

This is a report with the name of Namgung Hwaran written on it.

Namgoongmyeong slowly lowered his arm, put aside the document he was looking at, and picked it up.

“……”

The Commander-in-Chief quietly closed his mouth and nodded as he watched Namgung-myeong read the document from beginning to end.

Since the time of the Murim League, the head of the family preferred to use her body rather than sit and work.

Since he always reacted violently when I visited him for work, I deliberately placed something on top that would divert his attention.

The general, who had experienced Nam Gung-myeong for decades, knew how to deal with him.

“Hwaran said that the child has become more active…”

“That’s right. I think it’s because of the new boots the matriarch gave me a few days ago.”

“By startup, you mean a disciple of Elder Namgung-hyeon!”

His voice, which had become somewhat strained due to work, regained strength.

The general responded to Namgung-myeong, who spoke again in his characteristic booming voice.

“I wonder if he can really be considered a disciple of Elder Namgung-hyeon… Thanks to his strong body, he seems to be able to work without any problems.”

“It’s a good thing you gave him to Hwaran!”

Ordinary people could not work in close proximity for long because of her daughter’s constitution.

However, Namgoongmyeong felt satisfied when he found out that Minho, whom he had named just in case, was doing an excellent job.

If Namgung Hwaran was uncomfortable or Minho had any problems, he changed his mind, having planned to send her back to the outpatient clinic immediately.

“I guess I can keep it running!”

After coming to that conclusion, he turned his attention back to the report in his hand.

“But what is this Binggirim that Gasols are looking for so much?”

At the time Namgung Hwaran was making ice cream, Namgung Myeong, who was away from Sega for a while due to work, was unable to taste the ice cream.

“It is a type of ice food made using milk and sugar.”

The Sega personnel who had not had the opportunity to experience such a thing may not have known it, but the general manager, Na Won-gwang, knew that something similar to it was sometimes eaten in the imperial family.

“It is said that a father named Minho taught him how to make it.”

Namgung-myeong expressed his admiration after hearing the commander-in-chief’s explanation.

“That’s amazing. Elder Namgung-hyeon’s insight was right!”

Namgoongmyeong’s thoughts returned quickly.

He clearly preferred physical work to sitting at a desk processing documents, but there was a reason why he rose to such a high position.

The reason he is a great leader.

‘This is a good cause! ‘You never know when you’ll have the chance to take care of Hwaran again!’

I don’t know how someone who lived in a slum until recently could make food that was eaten by the imperial family, but for Namgung-myeong, there was something more important than that.

There was a reason to take care of Namgung Hwaran, his sore finger.

The greater the power, the more likely it is to collapse due to small cracks.

As the head of the Namgung family, which is supposed to be the most fair, I have not been able to provide much support to Namgung Hwaran.

Because of her constitution, she was weak, so she could not become a warrior, and because of her sexual organs, it was said that a man who became her husband would have a short life, so even marrying into a good family was overlooked.

Namgung Hwaran’s position, which did not play any role in Sega, was becoming increasingly narrow.

Binggong, who paid a high price to free someone just in case, could not handle her constitution.

As a father, all he could do was to give her medicine consistently and make her life comfortable.

until now.

He thought for a moment about how much money Sega could mobilize right now and said,

“General, how many merchants receive support from our Namgung?”

“The merchants belonging to Hefei’s Sanghoe are all receiving support from the Namgung family. In addition, with a few exceptions, large merchants traveling between provinces are doing business with us.”

“Yes, I did! Then there would be no problem with investing in advance in talented people with promising future!”

The commander-in-chief, realizing what Namgung-myeong was talking about, lowered his head.

“We will prepare thoroughly.”

“Okay, and call Hwaran to the office! Minho, my brother-in-law, is also there!”

“Okay.”

***

“Are you telling me to try the top, father?”

Namgung Hwaran’s beautiful voice reached Namgung Myeong, the head of the Namgung family and her father.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s top or bottom run. Don’t you also need something to build on?”

Namgungmyeong spoke in a soft tone.

A different attitude from the last time I visited Baek Geon and his office.

‘Even a man like this shows a soft side to his daughter.’

It looked quite strange.

“You provide support, but you don’t actually have to sell Binggirim?”

Whether I was watching from behind or not, the two continued their conversation.

“It is just a justification. Wasn’t it hard enough just to make it for Sega’s employees?”

“But…”

“If someone raises an issue, you only need to occasionally sell it to high-status people. It’s the father’s decision, so you don’t have to worry.”

‘Well, it was hard to make.’

I nodded quietly.

Namgung-myeong also seemed to have no intention of mistreating his daughter.

” Take this opportunity to go out and look around the world. ”

It seemed that Namgung Myeong was trying to use this incident as an excuse to create a foundation for Namgung Hwaran to become independent.

It will be okay as long as Namgung-myeong is the head of the family, but if he disappears, the way Namgung Hwaran is treated by the family will be worse.

In the original work, the head of the Namgung family did not die, but it was a good decision considering the future.

“But… I’m weak and my hair color is too noticeable…”

Namgung Hwaran mutters in an uncertain voice.

Namgoongmyeong also looked at her sadly.

Looking at them, he quietly used his supernatural ability to create heat that only Namgung Hwaran in front of him could feel.

“……?”

Did you feel your back getting warm? Namgung Hwaran turned his head and looked at me.

I smiled quietly and nodded, as usual.

‘I’ll take responsibility for you, so do what you want.’

It’s okay to reject Namgoongmyeong’s offer and stay in Sega.

If there are people who look down on her, you can use your position as a starter to break the pot.

Depending on the suggestion, you can run the top or base.

If you are setting up a top, you can use Baekgeon to get all kinds of valuable items, and if you are setting up a base, you can just tell them the recipe for chicken or black bean noodles.

Either way, it is a far cry from leaving for the North Sea Ice Palace.

Did he read my unchanging attitude?

Namgung Hwaran’s shaking eyes suddenly stopped.

She looked at Namgoongmyeong again and took a small breath.

And, unlike before, he spoke with a powerful voice.

“Let’s do it, Dad!”

Namgungmyeong was looking at it with a happy face.

“Then go to Dongling! I have informed the Commander-in-Chief, so preparations will be completed in a few days!”

It was the same booming voice as usual.

We quietly bowed our heads to him.

As we finished our business and turned around to leave, we heard additional words in our ears.

“And… before I go, I’d like to make this for my father too.”

‘Oh, I haven’t given it to the matriarch yet.’

Namgung Hwaran, who made eye contact with me, shouted in a voice filled with laughter.

“Yes!”
