-slap!
The boy curled up like a shrimp and wrapped himself as the whip flew at him.
As the whipping continued, the boy’s clothes gradually became stained with blood.
The face of the screaming boy was distorted like a demon, as if he was blaming everything in the world.
‘On earth…what on earth did I do wrong?’
I was just born mixed-blood.
But is this a sin?
Should I be discriminated against and looked down upon just because I don’t have black eyes and have lighter skin?
I don’t know how it ended up like this.
-slap! slap!
[Die the damn Byeok-an bastard! die! It’s better for someone like you to die!]
The boy’s eyes began to tremble as he continued to be verbally abused and whipped.
Beyond the suffering and pain, anger began to overtake reason, and it soon overflowed with murderous intent.
‘I’m going to kill you. ‘I’ll kill you.’
The restraints on both arms didn’t matter.
All you have to do is bite that guy’s neck off with your teeth.
The boy, overcome by evil, looked for an opportunity with eagle eyes.
Then, the moment the hand that was whipping got tired and stopped for a moment,
“Aaaah!”
With a scream, he rushed towards the slave trader who was whipping him.
There was only one goal.
Biting the goddamn neck off.
Even if it means dying on the spot, I have the determination to kill just that one guy…
-puck!
However, before he could reach him, he was caught by someone’s kick and fell down.
It was the slave trader’s guard warrior who knocked him down.
[Who the damn blue-eyed bastard dares attack!]
-puck!
As he fell, the slave trader stepped on him with red bloodshot eyes.
When he kicked, he had no regard for the boy’s life or death.
He was just focused on letting go of his anger.
-Pukpuk!
-closely!
It hurt so much, but the boy bit his lip and suppressed a moan.
This was because he thought that showing his suffering was helping the slave trader take out his anger.
-Pukpuk!
‘Would it be better to die like this…?’
As his consciousness gradually faded from the pain, he longed for death.
Then it happened.
-Wow! thud! Roll around!
At that time, something rolled in front of the boy.
[Yes, you bitch…]
-Wow!
Hot liquid splashed and wetted the boy’s body.
The boy, who had been crouching down, soon looked puzzled and slowly raised his head.
I saw something amazing in his eyes.
It was the head of a slave trader with bloodshot eyes, as if he had not realized that his own head had been cut off.
How on earth did this happen?
The boy, who was dazed as he looked at the guy’s severed head, soon raised his head and looked at someone standing in front of him.
It was a beautiful girl with flowing blood-red hair.
The girl scattered the blood-stained sword on the floor, glanced at the boy, and then turned to leave the barracks.
I didn’t know why.
The boy, who had been in a daze, suddenly stumbled, got up in a hurry, ran towards the girl, and shouted.
[Please take me with you.]
* * *
[Please take me too!]
Suddenly, the masked Geumuiwi Cheonho Mara-hyeon’s eyes trembled faintly as if he was in a complicated state of mind, as he remembered his first meeting with So Ye-rin, the sixth Cheonho of the Geumuiwieui.
She was a benefactor who saved his life from falling into the abyss and a teacher who even taught him martial arts.
He was talking about leaving the woman who accepted him without any prejudice, but just by leaving his lips, everything felt heavy.
Although he didn’t know anyone else, he didn’t want to disappoint her, who was his gift.
At that time, So Ye-rin opened her mouth.
“……Why? “Why can’t I return to the imperial palace?”
“I’m sorry. miss.”
“Don’t just say you’re sorry, tell me why.”
“miss.”
“I told you to tell me why.”
Although she was speaking softly as usual, Mara-hyeon, who had been with her for a long time, could sense a faint excitement in her voice.

Mara-hyeon, whose heart became heavy at this, hesitated before opening her mouth.
“Namjinsa saw me. “If he goes back, he will be a traitor.”
It was a cause I had thought of in advance.
No, it wasn’t just a justification in the first place, it was also a fact.
Unlike her, who covered her face with a mask, she was in a position where she could not return to the palace because she assumed her original identity in order to get them through the palace safely.
If I were to go back, I would be immediately caught by the Namjin warrior.
In that case, even So Ye-rin, the eunuch who had joined the Geumwiwi, could be suspected, even though her face was not exposed.
“I’m sorry. “I can’t be a bother to you, young lady.”
“Who says it’s a nuisance? “Do you think I can’t even protect you?”
“…….You will be holding onto the lady’s ankles.”
“does not matter. “I will protect you in any way…”
“I have already made my decision.”
“decision? “It’s your decision to leave me as you please…”
“no. “I’m not just going to leave.”
“yes?”
“I would like to have Prince Mu Gyeong-un here as my lord.”
‘!?’
So Ye-rin’s expression hardened at Mara-hyeon’s words.
Mara-hyeon was an honest and loyal man.
Because he had been with me for a long time, he was not only a student, but also a colleague and like a younger brother.
She couldn’t help but be confused when he told her that he would leave her side and go under someone else’s wing without any warning.
“why…….”
Mara-hyeon felt bitter inside at her reaction.
But he soon composed himself and spoke.
“I’m sorry. Confucius Mok Gyeong-un saved me when I almost died from blood loss. So I want to spend the rest of my life serving Confucius.”
“……”
So Ye-rin closed her mouth at his words.
If you were to leave because your identity was exposed and it became a problem, you could take various measures, such as a skin mask.
But for this reason, I couldn’t catch him.
No, if you catch it, you will be ignoring Mara-hyeon’s decision.
“Mara cloth…no, Mara string.”
“Lady…Song….”
“stop. Why should I apologize for that? “You say you’ll return the favor, but how can I hold you back?”
‘Ahhh. miss.’
Marahyun, who was lowering her head, closed her eyes.
He still didn’t think he had repaid her in full.
However, there was someone right there who knew the truth about his father’s death, which had remained hidden for a long time.
If I miss this opportunity, it may never come again.
‘Again… If I get another chance, I will definitely return the favor.’
She was a gift that allowed her, who was mixed race, to live like a human being.
Since I was leaving like this, I had no desire to return to her side again.
I just wanted to repay the favor I received from her in some way.
Meanwhile, So Ye-rin approached Mok Gyeong-un and said politely with her hands together.
“Confucius. “Then, since I cannot be away for a long time, I will return to the imperial palace.”
“iced coffee. Of course you should.”
“If you have any information about the mark, please contact me. Of course, if I learn anything, I will share the information.”
“I will.”
“Then good luck.”
As she was about to walk away with those words, she paused for a moment, then turned her head and spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
“Please take care of Marahyeon.”
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders at her request.
So Ye-rin, who accepted this as a positive sign, smiled bitterly and then looked at the six-blooded Dan Baek-ha.
Then, Dambaekha also gave Mok Gyeong-un a hand gesture and then tore a part of his own clothes and handed them over.
The number was engraved on the hem of the clothes: [百二十六].
“How about this?”
“Thanks to your successor, Confucius, I was able to come back into the world like this. “I will never forget this great favor I received from Confucius.”
“I didn’t mean to, so you don’t have to be that grateful.”
“Even so, if it weren’t for Confucius, I would never have come out. That fact remains the same.”
Hearing her words, Mok Kyung-un twitched his lips and said.
“Well, if you think so, it’s a hint of gratitude….”
“I cannot teach you that because it is a skill that only the master of the original sect and the original sect can master.”
Even before Mo Kyung-un could finish his words, Dam Baek-ha sharply refused.
Mok Gyeong-un, who was about to ask for Gugyeol by hinting at her, licked his lips in disappointment.
It was quite an interesting method, so I wanted to know the exact composition.
He said to Mok Gyeong-un, who looked so regretful, pointing to the hem of the clothes that Dam Baek-ha had turned over.
“Even so, how can you not return the favor? I would like to join the Association of Associations, which is a group of followers of this church, for the purpose of rebuilding the church, so if there is anything I can do to help, even if it is insufficient, please send me this. “I will rush to help Confucius in one month.”
Mok Kyung-un smiled at her words.
Although she described herself as lacking, she was a great expert who was close to the level of Hyeongyeong.
Since such a master said that he would come and help at any time if requested, it was as if he had obtained a useful hand.
* * *
So Ye-rin and Dambaek-ha, a six-blooded person, went their separate ways.
When they left and the presence was completely gone, Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and then turned his gaze to Mara-hyeon and said.
“ruler. Now that we’re gone, shall we hear the real reason?”
Marahyeon’s eyes, visible through the gap in her mask, narrowed at Mokgyeongun’s words.
There was bewilderment in those eyes.
“What are you talking about…”
“You can’t lie to me.”
-Sneaking!
With these words, Mo Qingyun raised his demonic energy.
At that moment, Mara-hyeon’s eyes turned black with demonic energy, and he, who had been trying to hide his true feelings, revealed his true feelings without realizing it.
“My mother and my damned father are dead because of that damned old woman you stole from the gold house.”
‘!?’
-Papat!
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Chun and Meng Wuyue hurriedly blocked the space between Seonghwa Lingju and him.
Their purpose was to safely bring the Holy Spirit Spell to the Heaven and Earth Association.
However, if the purpose of this masked Geumwiwi Mara-hyeon, who was loyal to Mok Gyeong-un, was to take revenge on her, he should never have gotten close to her.
“What? Weren’t we on the same side?”
The apostate Monk Jaejeongjeong, who read the atmosphere, also boosted his energy and prepared to go out at any time.
At that time, the Holy Spirit stumbled with an expression of embarrassment.
‘Unbelievable……’
When she saw the walls of Marahyeon, she was filled with wonder.
However, because of what I said just now, I was able to be sure of his identity.
She opened her mouth with a trembling voice.
“Are you the son of a priest?”
“shut up!”
At that time, Marahyeon roughly took off her mask and shouted at her.
Even though his eyes were stained black with demonic energy, his emotions had already become intense.
“Mya, Hyun…”
“I told you to shut your mouth!”
Marahyeon and Ilgal tried to throw a new weapon at her.
At that moment, someone pressed down on his shoulder.
-closely!
Mara-hyeon tried to shake off this by raising his strength, but the opponent’s strength was so strong that he was forced to kneel on one knee.
-thud!
‘Who, who? ah!’
Someone did it, and it was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.
Mok Kyung-un placed both hands on his shoulders and said with a grin.
“If you run wild, you’ll be in trouble. “No matter what the story is, Mara Cheonho didn’t take that person out to do as he pleases.”
Although he said it casually, it was a clear warning.
It seemed like if I put just a little more strength into my hand, it would end up weighing down my shoulders.
In response, Marahyeon endured the pain and opened her mouth.
“Confucius…if you will entrust me with the disposition of that damned old woman, I will give it to you…with a horse. “With all my might, I will pledge my allegiance.”
“Are we negotiating?”
“Dear Confucius, I will be more helpful to you than that old woman.”
Hearing his words, Mok Gyeong-un sneered and sneered.
Then, she whispered into his ear.
“You value yourself quite highly.”
“Confucius… It’s true. “I am willing to give up my life for Confucius…”
“That’s too bad.”
“What is that?”
“Value changes depending on the situation. “Mara Cheonho was quite useful in the imperial palace, but he is worth more to me now.”
“Confucius!”
“So let me make this clear here and now.”
-closely!
Mok Gyeong-un’s grip tightened.
A small moan escaped Mara-hyeon’s mouth as the pain felt like her shoulder was going to break.
“Turn it off.”
“I hope you will put any thoughts of touching him out of your mind until I finish my business.”
“haha….”
“I quite like Mara Cheonho. But if you ignore my kind warning, unfortunately, I will have no choice but to do the same with my own hands.”
Eupcham (泣斬馬謖).
The phrase originated from an anecdote in which Zhuge Liang, a soldier of the Shu Dynasty, cut off his head in bitterness because his favorite general, Ma Sok, was defeated because he disobeyed orders.
It also meant that no matter how talented a person was, he would not forgive anyone who violated his name and rules.
Marahyeon didn’t say anything to Mokgyeongun’s words.
Seeing this, Meng Wuyak and Nie Chun were worried.
‘If the Seonghwa Spiritual Master is no different from his parents’ enemy, will that Master of the Geumuiwiwi readily accept the master’s warning?’
‘If it’s going to be a variable, it would be better to separate it now rather than give a warning.’
He is a person who left the person he was originally with and chose revenge.
Would such a person obediently follow his master’s orders?
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un took his hands off Mara-hyeon’s shoulders that were pressing him down.
‘ah……’
Are you really trying to get away with just this warning?
It was the moment I did it.
-thud!
At that time, Mara-hyeon suddenly got down on one knee towards Mo Gyeong-un and put his hands together to show respect.
Then he lowered his head and spoke politely.
“Mara County is planning to take Confucius Mokgyeongun as its lord. “I intend to stay by Gyeonmajiro’s side and be loyal to him, so please keep my promise.”
‘huh?’
‘What is this?’
The two people could not hide their surprise at his sudden pledge of loyalty.
I thought he might have resented him because he forcibly prevented him from taking revenge, but he suddenly swore loyalty.
But what does the promise attached at the end mean?
Did the lord promise something?
I couldn’t figure out what the English sentence was.
As Mara-hyeon bowed his head and pledged allegiance, the words Mok Gyeong-un said lingered in his mind.
[I hope you will put any thoughts of touching that person out of your mind until I finish my business.]
The premise was ‘until my business is done.’
Mok Gyeong-un tapped Mara-hyeon on the shoulder and said with a wry smile.
“I like it because you have a clear sense of humor.”
