by adminAfter calming down a bit, I put the child down. What on earth have I done?
Everything that I had held back and hidden until now has now come out into the open.
What on earth have I done?
A sense of inferiority came over me.
It was to the point where I had just told the child things that I shouldn’t have said.
The child found out that I was his mother.
Of course, my dazed state didn’t matter to them, or maybe they were just being considerate.
The child was just lying inside me and whimpering.
“… . Baby… .”
As I looked at her raising her head at my call, the thought crossed my mind that maybe she really thought of me as her mother now.
Even though I know better than anyone that that can’t be true.
“… . I have so much to tell you… .”
I wanted to tell you one by one why you are here and what will happen in the future.
“… … . First, should I wash it?”
“That’s right.”
I felt good because my child cried as if he was happy. My child responded to me as if he was looking at a monkey.
The child will never know how much that sight gives me strength.
I quietly held the child in my arms and went into the water with the child. Jujak, who had been watching me blankly, spoke to me.
“Are you okay?”
“… Thank you for worrying about me. I’m okay now.”
I had to say that.
Otherwise, I didn’t think I would be able to hold out.
Because I was so driven to tell my child everything, I didn’t know what would happen the moment I admitted it.
So I denied it, at least in words.
It’s okay now. Don’t worry.
There was no need to discuss whether those words had any degree of credibility.
It was definitely a fabrication, Alter. I was just saying that to endure.
But, what about this and what about that?
The most important thing right now is that the child has found his emotions.
The child had found her feelings, and since I had already told her that I was her mother, there was no need to hide it anymore.
“… .”
I just hoped the child wouldn’t be shocked by these stories.
A young white tiger swims quietly in the water. Both Zhujak and the hostess are watching it.
The sight was so cute. It looked like little clouds floating on the water.
A little kitten who loves water. Who would have guessed that?
Of course, it wasn’t something that was completely unexpected since such things had happened… But still, seeing it with my own eyes was something that made me feel different.
The eyes of the two people looking at that cute, small figure showed various emotions.
Such emotions as ‘sympathy’ were reflected in their eyes.
In fact, it was inevitable.
They know all too well what this child has been through.
It was a shame. Just the fact that that child had to go through something like this.
And, more than anything, I love and cherish the thing that healed my wounds.
You don’t know how heartbreaking this is.
But you can’t stay stuck in those thoughts forever.
After all, they were living human beings, people.
Those emotions that came up every time I saw the child were put aside for now and I started telling the story.
“… Mom. You said you had something to tell me earlier, right? ”
“… Ah. Okay.”
The landlady reacted as if she had just remembered. However, the problem was that her expression turned sour as soon as the story was brought up.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling dizzy or something-”
“No, that’s not it. The Knights. It’s because of the royal knights.”
A knightly order directly under the royal family.
Those words made even the most enthusiastic remarks. What kind of beings are they?
If the Baekho is the next military force, then the one that is definitely mentioned is the royal knights.
What the hell is wrong with that order?
Have you done anything to deserve them chasing you?
The young novice was unable to connect the dots of events. Well, that couldn’t be helped.
Because she hadn’t heard the story that the damned thing was preparing to flood again.
She had no idea what danger they were taking by being here now.
In the first place, it was more like their mother’s consideration that they didn’t need to know all the messy details of the family because the direct lineage hadn’t been confirmed yet.
“… Don’t you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“… Now, the liquid is about to overflow again.”
“… . Yes?”
An expression as if she was hearing this for the first time. She seemed to be thinking for a moment.
It looks like he’s constantly avoiding something.
Combining several factors to determine the child’s ability, she quickly came to a conclusion.
“So, you’re being chased by the Royal Knights right now?!”
“What?!”
Lee Yeon looked back in surprise at the sudden loud noise.
“Phew- No, it’s okay. Yeon-ah.”
The sight of them making me laugh was the very definition of loveliness.
How lovely, how lovely. It made me forget what they were talking about at that moment.
“That’s right… .”
They started talking again, watching Yeon-i go back into the water.
“So, you’re saying that’s what it is now?”
“That’s right. The bigger problem is… . The Knights are probably nearby.”
“… . Yes?”
She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. If earlier it had been because she felt really dangerous and embarrassed, this time it was nothing.
Isn’t this a situation that can’t be like this? It’s a situation where you have to leave for another place right away, but you’re staying here like this?
Looking at the confusion on the young geese’s face, she spoke.
“I’ll leave as soon as the sun rises.”
“… . But, what about sleep? And, where are you going?”
“Now that I can’t stay in Jujak’s village, I guess I’ll have to go to Cheongryong’s village.”
It was the best that could be done.
It was the right thing to do to help the child live a slightly better life by talking about why emotions shouldn’t be suppressed and what would be better to do instead.
“… . Sigh… .”
It would have been nice if the young rascal could have done something, but he couldn’t.
The royal knights are now moving with just this young white tiger.
What happens next if you disappear?
When the king moves, no one can predict what will happen next.
At least there might be a way to stop the Knights, but not the King. No one knew what he would do.
So they can’t move.
So he himself cannot move.
It was frustrating, but there was nothing I could do about it.
So, what should we do now?
“What are you going to do to Yeon-i?”
“I have to tell Yeon-i… .”
No matter what the child thought or felt, I had to talk about what kind of relationship I had with the child.
That way, the child will be able to understand the whole situation.
Otherwise, I could see that the child would not be able to understand why this situation was continuing.
“But, that- the child… .”
“… Even if you don’t understand, you have to do it.”
“… . Not now. The child has just regained his emotions.”
“I don’t know either. So, I have to tell you before I leave tomorrow morning.”
That was right, she felt.
Meanwhile, those who had made some guesses as to where it might be.
“The unit is now divided into two groups.”
“Yes? Do you really mean it?”
“Yeah. Just in case.”
At those words, they began to understand what the captain was talking about.
It is generally accepted that there are no other places with many people that they can go to besides the village they are going to now, but what if they want to move outside of this territory?
It was necessary to prevent them from leaving in the first place.
‘It is better to capture them and return than to be killed or broken by that king.’
“The Knights will now block all roads leading to any territory except Baekho Village. And everyone else will follow me to the village where the sunrise is said to be a tourist attraction. Got it?!”
“Yes!”
It was clearly hinting that this long game of tag was about to end.
At the inn, they finally decided to tell the child the story the next day, went to sleep, and woke up.
The day that had dawned so peacefully had a very unpleasant atmosphere.
That’s the reason, whatever. No matter what anyone says, it was because of that.
“So, I am your child.”
“… . Yeah.”
It was because I told the child the same story I had told yesterday.
