Episode 424. Ten Heavenly Demons (4)
“Since it is ⋯⋯, the expected amount is expected to rise slightly from last year.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Wonju?”
“hmm?”
So Yeon-sim, who had been staring blankly out the window, turned her head. There was a coin holding a bunch of documents.
So Yeon-sim said as if he was embarrassed.
“I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while.”
“Ah yes.”
“You must be busy too, but you took up time for nothing. Can you say it again?”
“no. We will report back.”
Coin reported in the same tone as before.
So Yeon-shim listened to her words, but lost his concentration again before he knew it.
Coin asked cautiously.
“Should I post the report later?”
“Hwaa.”
“Yes, Lord Won.”
“What do you think?”
“yes?”
“It means that the secret palace is gone.”
“Ah…”
Now, the leaders of the Wah Shingyo know what the Secret Palace is and what they have been doing.
Everyone was surprised, but unexpectedly, the leadership thought that Xi Liang’s decision was reasonable.
For them, there is only one god of Shinto religion, and the fact that there is a monster group to control that god made them angry.
Soyeonsim was different.
Of course, she was also furious, and wholeheartedly agreed with Xu Liang’s choice. However, as time passed, she had other ideas as well.
“I had forgotten about the existence of the Secret Palace until now.
I was sending supplies to the secret palace every month, but it was just a very natural part of the job.
In the first place, I had never thought about what kind of group they were or what they had been doing.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Looking back, it turned out to be a really unreasonable group.
That God restrains him when he goes astray? They thought they were people who didn’t understand why God was called God.”
“⋯⋯.”
“By the way.”
Confusion crept over So Yeon-sim’s face.
“To think that their existence has disappeared, suddenly becomes frightening.”
“yes?”
“Of course, I wholeheartedly agree with the leader’s choice. Even if you don’t agree, you can’t help it. If the headmaster says he will, then he must do so.”
“Ah yes.”
“The only thing I’m worried about is…”
For a moment, Xiao Yanxin looked up at the coin.
Joo Hwa’s face was still expressionless and beautiful. She was as talented as she was, and a quick-witted successor.
However, at this moment, even Joo-hwa could not see through So Yeon-sim’s heart.
So Yeon-shim swallowed the words behind her back.
“no. I said something wrong.”
“⋯⋯.”
“I’ll report back and listen to you later. Just go away.”
“Yes, Lord Won.”
Joo Hwa seemed to have something more to say, but soon bowed her head and withdrew. It was because she didn’t want to touch her little heart, which seemed complicated even if it wasn’t.
So Yeon-sim, who was left alone in the office, looked up at the ceiling with a worried face.
‘If I’m right…’
She had a very scary thought.
But I hoped it wasn’t true. To be precise, I didn’t want it to explode right away. I thought maybe it would be a while later, but not now.
Soyeonsim, who had been thinking for a while, stood up from her seat.
“Yeon-oh.”
“Yes, Lord Won.”
“Put a message in the military department. Tell the military commander that you’re sending it directly.”

“Eulachacha! ugh, hot Haha! sorry. He seems to have been so busy lately that he forgot how to ride a car. Let it cool down a bit before eating.”
Receiving the teacup Ho Yo-seong gave her, So Yeon-sim asked with a calm face.
“You are usually very busy, aren’t you?”
“It is. But you know what? Now that the new leader has taken the position, we have no choice but to be busy. Isn’t Hwanheewon like that too?”
“that’s right. I’m so busy that I can’t open my eyes.”
“Kheup! You don’t know how scary that word that you normally use casually sounds now.
There’s really no time to blink, no time to snort. Well, Wonju will do the same, right?”
He said, “Why did you come here when you know we’re both busy?” It was a humorous joke asking about the purpose of the visitor.

Normally, So Yeon-shim would also exchange a few words, even if it was a pun, to the beat, but now it was neither a situation nor a state like that.
“I’ll ask straight forward.”
“Ah, welcome. Straight forward.”
“Are you going to conquer the central plains, Master?”
Hoyoseong’s eyes twinkled.
“Why did you think that?”
So Yeon-sim’s face hardened.
“⋯⋯I was right.”
What I hoped for was real. Her feelings of love made her feel even more disturbed.
Ho Yo-seong shook his head.
“Today, Wonju doesn’t seem to want to joke with me.”
“Why?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Why are you trying to conquer the midfield in this situation? This is a time when our school is more chaotic than ever.”
Ho Yoseong scratched his head.
“Before the in-depth conversation, let me say a word. We still don’t know when the midfield conquest will be, or even if the headmaster really thinks so.”
“You don’t know?
“I really don’t know. Because the headmaster never said anything to me.”
So Yeon-sim’s eyes flashed.
“But the commander-in-chief thinks so too, doesn’t it?”
“⋯⋯ heh heh.”
Ho Yo-seong licked his lips.
“Wonju’s eyes are really amazing. Or is there something wrong with my ability to manage facial expressions?”
“Now is not the time to joke!”
“I am not kidding. I mean it. There are not many people who can relate to the fact that the lord arranged the secret palace and raised the banner of conquering the central plains.”
So Yeon-sim took a deep breath.
I was so excited. It’s a situation she can’t help but get excited about, but she thought she had to take control of her heart.
It was time for her to open her mouth again.
“But why did you come all the way here for such a big deal?”
“⋯⋯Is this a joke too?”
“One more thing, I’m really busy. I don’t feel like joking around today either.”
“It’s a big deal! The teacher is still…!”
“You said you didn’t have a coronation? Or are you not respected by the cultists?”
“⋯⋯!!”
“What is the big deal?”
So Yeon-sim shook her head. It looked ridiculous.
“You know? How much harm will going into the midfield be to our school? It’s not just the main school.
For any organization in the world, unreasonable conquests in a state of system instability will inevitably lead to catastrophe.”
It was a dangerous statement. At least, that was the case in the Heavenly Demon Church. Ho Yo-seong’s face also became more serious.
“It’s an unreasonable conquest in an unstable system. Well, maybe you can see it that way.”
“⋯⋯?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Are you the only one who knows So Won-joo’s thoughts? You didn’t infer it from a conversation with someone, did you?”
“Of course.”
“Fortunately, the.”
“Yes? What is it?”
“If So Won-ju was a soft-spoken person than I thought, I would immediately arrest someone who had a conversation with Won-ju.”
In an instant, he felt goose bumps run down his neck.
“Ah, of course, it would be different if the target was the leadership. After calling him and hearing the answer, if he seemed to be babbling somewhere else, he would have pursued him then.
“⋯⋯ why?”
Ho Yo-seong tilted his head as if it were strange.
“Looks like you already know, don’t you?”
If So Yeon-sim’s eyes are outstanding, Ho Yo-seong’s eyes are also not lightning-fast.
Su Yeon-shim praised herself for not telling Joo-hwa in her heart. If it was Ho Yo-seong, he would have seen through his lies at once.
“If that is the will of the headmaster, we will not be able to stop it.”
“You are right.”
“But I think it’s a problem that can be delayed. The teacher…”
“He is like steel.”
“yes?”
“The will is so strong that once you set your mind to it, you can achieve it somehow.
Maybe that strong will and drive made him who he is today.”
“⋯⋯.”
“In other words, we cannot break his will once he has made up his mind.”
Soyeonshim let out a sigh of relief.
“If you do something wrong, you may end up resenting the church members.”
This, too, was a dangerous statement. However, Ho Yo-seong did not catch her. This is because the current conversation is a conversation that excludes ostentation and ostentation.
“That’s why I’m so busy right now.”
“yes?”
“Hwanheewon must be struggling with budgeting for the main school this year, right?
If the religious leader says he will start a war before next year, Wonju might die from overwork.”
“Now is the time to say that.”
“I am different.”
“Is it different?”
“Wonju must be very busy with the school’s housekeeping, such as budgeting.
However, I am concerned about overall domestic affairs, including plans to calm the minds of the guards,
In the event of an actual war, you may have to jump directly into the front line and command the troops of the school.”
“⋯⋯!!”
“As a military officer, the highest level of safety is guaranteed.
Because it’s the first thing you have to kill among enemies. So I am safe, and at the same time I am in the most dangerous situation.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Do you understand? I gave up my life after knowing the will of the headmaster. If a war breaks out tomorrow, it means that my life could end tomorrow as well.”
Ho Yoseong smiled.
So Yeon-shim couldn’t even imagine how much agony, conflict, and complicated emotions were contained in that smile.
“So I am preparing. He cannot stop him, so he must give him the victory. His victory is our victory.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Look at the essence. We are not unstoppable because of his strong will. Because His will is God’s will, it cannot and must not be stopped.”
“⋯⋯Essence.”
“I understand the desire to pass on a more solid Hwanheewon and a good religion to live in to future generations. But never forget.
We are the workers who work hard to create a good Protestant religion, but there is a separate owner who manages the workers.”
Everyone knows this, but after hearing Ho Yo-seong’s words, So Yeon-shim felt a chill run down her back.
‘I see.’
Seeing Ho Yo-seong’s eyes, which were as bright as starlight and at the same time hot as lava, So Yeon-sim realized.
‘I must have been lacking.’
I knew it in my head. If the religious leader says so, he can’t break that will,
But my heart was different. She had been watching him since Xi Liang was the third Duke.
It’s nothing like a great friendship, but at least I knew that he was a person who could communicate.
So I wanted to stop him. I wanted to make them aware that it would be dangerous to break out of war right now, maybe later.
But now I realized. That such a thought itself was because he did not see Xiliang as a religious leader,
He mentioned the feelings of the believers and said that the current state of Protestantism was uneasy, but the element of anxiety was himself.
“You see? Why did I try to arrest the person who inferred this fact?”
“⋯⋯.”
“The appearance of Sowonju right now is the heart of the believers. It represents their appearance.
Now, there is only one small Wonju, but what if all of them are as anxious as Wonju?”
Soyeon-shim bit her lip. It was embarrassing.
Perhaps, for a long time, he lived under the reign of the absolutely invincible strongman named Lee Cheon-sang and sought stability, but those were all just excuses.
“Excuse me.”
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“Fortunately, the. I think you have made up your mind.”
“To be honest…”
“It must be a hardening process. and it will harden. I believe in Sowonju. So I have no intention of sending him to prison.”
Soyeonshim sighed softly.
“I looked embarrassed. sorry.”
“I’m happy to know that it won’t be like that in the future.”
It was then.
“Sir General!”
“What’s going on?”
“I got a call from the Demon Shrine!”
“The teacher?”
“That’s right!”
“I will prepare it right away. But what about?”
“They are looking for General Commander-in-Chief for the coronation ceremony and transfer of the magic wand!”
Soyeonsim looked at Hoyoseong.
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes deepened.
“I need to sleep less.”
