Side Story Episode 17. Night train trip (2)
Gwangma falls under criminal law.
It was truly a statement that made me imagine many things.
Gongmuoe, who was looking at Doheon, tilted his head.
“you… … .”
“Of course, you won’t be able to use the light horse for yourself. “There are eyes around us that see.”
“… … ?”
“But if I become the head of the family, won’t I be a strong help to the head of the family in his future endeavors?”
Outside of official duties, the mouth slowly opened.
I was curious because the atmosphere was different from what I remembered, but I never thought it would unfold like this.
“Did you say you would be mine?”
“exactly.”
“You?”
“Is that not possible?”
Gongmuoe, who was looking at Doheon blankly, soon burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha!”
The laughter was so loud that the entire interrogation room trembled.
“Today is a day that surprises me in so many ways. “I wonder if there has been another day as pleasant as this in recent times.”
Gongmu-oe, who had been laughing for a while, suddenly stopped laughing.
“Are you trying to play a joke with me?”
Where had the leisure from earlier gone? His face as he looked at Doheon was extremely sinister.
“It’s no joke.”
“Everyone knows your personality. It seems like he was in a hurry to say something he didn’t even mean to say. “I’m not an easy person to be fooled by such wordplay.”
“It was like that before.”
“what?”
“It was quite easy before. That’s why I hated you. “I couldn’t figure out why he was so arrogant and believed in a subject he had no skill in.”
I don’t know if it was an honest assessment, but it was enough to make people shut their mouths outside of official duties.
Doheon gave strength to his perspective on things other than public affairs.
“But you’re not easy anymore, are you?”
“… … “Hoo?”
“I went from being just a party member to becoming the head of the Penal Law Party in six years. “It’s impossible if you don’t have the ability.”
That was true.
No matter how rotten the Protestant religion was, in order to become the head of an important organization like the Penal Code, you had to prove your ability at a minimum.
It is a position filled with the filth of all kinds of bribery and corruption, but if he had no skills as the head of the criminal law, he would not have been able to sit in this position even if he was dead or woken up.
Of course, what kind of person he or she will show after taking the position of head of the party will vary from person to person.
‘That’s strange.’
A curiosity that could not be hidden appeared in the non-official eyes looking at Doheon.
‘Are you really trying to come under me?’
A personality that values norms and laws.
A person with a gentle nature, but a clear distinction between construction and construction. Gi Ki-gi, who joined as a low-ranking member of the side story, achieved numerous feats with overwhelming skills and became the head of the Sixth Dynasty even before he became a bastard.
Doheon is a person who has risen to this position solely through his skills, without any ties to the higher-ups.
There are absolutely not many people with this level of ability even in Tanggeum Shingyo. In reality, the number of all combat units in the civil and external wars would not exceed five. He was such a great person.
Naturally, the superiors’ view of Doheon was bound to be favorable.
However, the problem was the overly stubborn attitude of not being able to follow the trend even though the world was changing.
Nowadays, people regard Doheon as nothing more than a highly anticipated figure. Of course, the position of Gwangma Daeju itself was great enough.
‘A person like that suddenly changed his attitude like this?’
The brows outside of official duties tightened slightly.
‘Is there some ulterior motive?’
I had my doubts, but when I think about it, it couldn’t be possible.
Three of the six great lords had personal relationships with him. Their evaluation of Gwangma Daeju was no different from before.
Although he was said to be close to the Dark Lord Sogong, it was literally just a friendship. Sogong was small and had a unique personality, so he had no friends other than Gwangma Daeju.
In other words, it was about socializing with strangers. Jininba’s forces were too small to say that there was something planned.
“I thought you would be suspicious.”
“hmm?”
“I’ve always held my head high in front of the head of the family, but suddenly you say I’m going to go under, so you’re bound to be suspicious.”
Off-duty eyes narrowed.
It was natural to have doubts, but it didn’t feel good to see his condition openly.
“so?”
“As you know, I have no one to be with. “If we were to say that he was a personal friend, he would be a small man, but to be honest, he is a great man who does not have too much cow hair to expect anything from.”
“… … “Huh.”
Outside of official duties, I was dumbfounded.
‘Is this guy really the Doheon I know?’
Doheon was well-known as a trustworthy person with a clear personality.
However, no matter how bad the situation was, my friend Sogong said that he was a great man without brown hair.
Doheon smiled bitterly.
“I’m tired now too.”
“Are you tired?”
“I realized that there is a limit to advancement based on individual skills and performance alone.”

“So you want to try holding the rope, is this it?”
“Do you plan to remain as the head of the criminal court for the rest of your life?”
“Of course not.”
“Me too. I don’t know how the higher-ups view me. Blood should not dry on the knife held by a worthy swordsman. “They will keep me as a swordsman in the field until I die.”
It wasn’t wrong.
After Jajeon Demon Jo Baek-cheon ascended to the throne, the power of Shingyo had weakened considerably. Even now that he is weakened, he still exerts a great influence on the midfield, but neither the religious leaders nor the leaders would want him to weaken any further.
The problem is that they just don’t want it, and they don’t come up with appropriate countermeasures.
For them, Protestantism would now be like heaven. The stuffy laws and pride of the past were nothing more than shackles. Who cares about the state of affairs when you can have all the pleasures on earth just by stretching out your hands?
That’s why we need a talented person like Doheon even more.
The pleasures of heaven are in my hands, and the warriors who will protect heaven are around me.
You wouldn’t want to see a single swordsman in the same place.
“I am also human. “I don’t have as much desire for power as others, but I have no intention of remaining the leader of a field unit until I die.”
The corners of the mouth raised slightly.
“Do you want to go up?”
“All demons at our school will be like that.”
“Unfortunately, that cannot be done. “Having dreams is freedom, but if everyone were to achieve their dreams, the world would quickly become a mess.”
It’s already such a mess that it’s hard to open your eyes and see.
Doheon chewed and swallowed the words that came to his mind without even realizing it.
“As I said, I have no desire to climb to the top. “I just don’t want to stay as a daeju for the rest of my life.”
“Everyone starts like that. But if you go up one step at a time, you will see Najeon Danjujik and Wonjujik.”
“Please control it yourself.”
“control?”
“That won’t happen, but if I get greedy, can’t I use my connections to demote my rank or kick me out?”
“… … !”
Doheon closed his eyes.
“Because I know that you have that level of ability, I want to be with you. “Because without that, you won’t be able to elevate me from the position of Great Lord.”
His facial expressions outside of official duties became increasingly strange.
‘Hey, are you serious?’
I didn’t believe it at first. No, I couldn’t believe it. That’s how famous Doheon’s personality was, and he actually experienced it.
But the more we talked, the more I began to see Doheon differently.
‘Do people who have stood upright like bamboo their whole lives eventually become ripe rice in the face of great power?’
Outside of official duties, I hated Doheon.
I hated his stiff personality, the look in his eyes that did not acknowledge himself, and the series of actions that showed that you and I were different.
Even when there was a confrontation with him, the people around him comforted him but also laughed at him knowingly or unknowingly. He said that he was not a person who dared compare to Doheon.
It was he who made them all close their mouths.
So he believed in this method, and thanks to it, he rose to the position of head of the criminal law department.
However, the man he hated and hated, the Great Lord Gwangma, crawls under him.
‘That’s strange.’
When Doheon showed such weakness, I felt an inexplicable sense of futility outside of official duties.
‘In the end, all people are the same.’
Doheon shouldn’t have been like this. After being thoroughly beaten before his own power, he had to suffer a miserable end.
However, Doheon bowed his head, and Gongmuoe was angry at his actions, but felt even more joy and a sense of emptiness beyond that joy.
‘Did I grit my teeth so hard to oppress a man like this?’
Outside of official duties, I burst out laughing without realizing it.
‘I still have a long way to go.’
Since ascending to the position of head of the Criminal Justice Department, he has thrown the lives of countless demons into a pit.
In the end, Doheon was also a human being. It’s just that I lasted longer than others.
However, he had something special that others did not have.
“Why did you act so stiff?”
“What do you mean?”
“If he had calmly been captured by the Cheonggwiseung and calmly responded to the investigator’s investigation, his position could have been much more flexible.”
Doheon shook his head.
“I just didn’t want to take too long.”
“Was that the only reason? If you really wanted to be with me, you shouldn’t have ignored this event.”
“If that were the case, you would never have accepted me. “Even if we had the same conversation as now, you would have doubted me until the end.”
“Hoo.”
Doheon opened his eyes.
Looking at the cloudy eyes with a clear look of exhaustion, my heart was greatly shaken, even outside of official duties.
“Unauthorized removal of Tuma, insults towards the leader, and obstruction of cooperation with the investigation. “I want to be with someone who can make all those sins disappear from this place.”
“… … .”
“If a person can’t even do that, add all the sins they don’t have and send them to prison.”
A smile spread across his non-official face. This was what was special about Doheon.
Doheon’s nature is not gentle. It is confidence.
I check the ability of the person to stand on top of me even though he says he will crawl under my crotch. And once you determine that your ability is certain, you no longer look back.
That confidence, which was usually so annoying, now made a huge impression.
“Do you want to see the level of ability of the person you want to work with?”
“I saw a lot outside. But it didn’t make any real sense to me.”
“Now is the moment.”
“If the head of the family agrees, this moment is not the right moment.”
“ha ha ha!”
Gongmuoe burst out laughing.
It was a laugh filled with sincerity and joy.
“Of course I have the ability to do that. This is my kingdom. “No one can refuse my orders.”
“… … .”
“However, wouldn’t it take some sincerity to show that ability?”
Doheon got up without a moment of hesitation.
He pushed the chair aside, walked three steps to the side, and then slowly got down on one knee.
Then he lowered his head without saying a word.
“… … !!”
Outside of official duties, his eyes were greatly shaken.
It was an action worth more than a hundred or a thousand words. With that alone, Doheon proved his worth and at the same time admitted complete defeat.
There was silence for a moment.
Grumble.
Gongmuoe got up from his seat and went to stand in front of Doheon.
“Raise your head.”
Doheon raised his head and saw an outsider with his hand outstretched.
A face that is solemn but unable to hide its joy, and hands with colorful bracelets dangling from it.
“Thank you for your sincere kindness, which I will never receive again.”
Doheon stood up holding his hand.
Gongmuoe smiled and grabbed both of his shoulders.
“Yesterday’s enemy has become today’s friend. “This result was unexpected, but it brought me much more joy than taking you down.”
“… … thank you.”
Even the tone of speech changed.
Outside of official duties, I felt exhilarating pleasure. It was a much greater pleasure than when I got my hands on a thousand gold or when I spent the night with a beautiful woman.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The joy of a winner who throws his head back and bursts into laughter.
Doheon’s eyes sank as he saw that.
After a while.
“Gee, you shouldn’t be in a gloomy place like an interrogation room on a happy day like today. “Shouldn’t we check how much Tao Daju drinks?”
“It is an honour.”
“Good, good. Today, let’s drink until our noses become crooked.”
“of course.”
“Previously.”
“… … ?”
“I guess I’ll just take care of what needs to be done and go. “It’s better to keep the back clean.”
“What do you mean?”
Outside of official duties, his expression became serious.
“What happened at the fighting arena?”
A sparkle flashed in Doheon’s eyes.
The time has come to really take a chance.
