Episode 65
If you are a warm-hearted person,
“Aren’t you moving quickly? You’re all slowing down! Didn’t the Sobun family leader tell you to hurry up and bring some food! The Sobun family leader!”
Hyungsam kept pecking at the servants who were busily moving the Baeksangjeon.
The servants’ gazes became sharper as they did so, but Hyungsam just laughed as if to say, “What are you going to do about it?”
From the beginning, his mind was filled with a rosy future.
No matter what people around me said, I couldn’t hear them at all.
‘Confucius Yunhui became the head of a small household, the head of a small household!! Who could it be thanks to? Isn’t it all thanks to me who faithfully served him from the side?’
The master’s honor often becomes the servant’s honor.
The status of Hyeongsam, who had been the head of the Baeksangjeon for a long time, naturally changed overnight.
Who would have predicted that Prince Yun Hui, who was called ‘the other half of the Nine Dragons’ just a few months ago, would end up like this?
The phrase “a sense of change in generations” came to mind naturally.
Hyungsam thought it was all his fault.
There were times when I was briefly swayed by Namgung Sanyoung’s temptation along the way, but isn’t that something that anyone can do at least once?
So Hyungsam thought that was nothing.
In other words, at the time, the decision to stick with Namgung Sanyoung was also a tearful choice(?) made for the sake of the peace of the branch family, so if it was the head of the small branch family, he would have fully understood.
Hehehehe!
Hyungsam looked down at the finished food, barely able to suppress the laughter rising from his danjeon.
Palace account, Eohyangyuksa, Mararyongha, Sujaeo.
Representative dishes of each region.
Hyungsam lightly tasted each one with his ring finger and then nodded.
“This one and this one up, this one down. And this one-”
It was at that time that the evaluations continued.
Taaak!
“!!”
“How dare you make something like this to offer to the Lord? Make it again!”
“Oh, I understand.”
Hyungsam slapped the servant who was holding the fish incense stick on the cheek.
Clang!
The fish sauce and bowl were spilled on the floor.
The other servants lowered their heads as they carried the food bowls, fearing that they might make eye contact with Hyung-sam. No, they tried to carry them.
The servants were on their way out when they were suddenly stopped at the kitchen doorstep.
Someone was blocking the way.
A middle-aged man with an odd appearance, carrying a large falcon the size of his upper body on his head.
It was Ilno and Onma.
“I’m so busy, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to get out of the way?”
Hyungsam growled as he looked at Ilno.
He was the person who had been rescued from Dosunghyeon and had been entrusted to Unhwi, and he had told him to get along well with him since he would be staying at Baeksikjeon from now on.
In that case, he would be considered a very distant junior and subordinate to Hyung-sam.
But instead of walking around cautiously, I felt uncomfortable looking at the little girl who had her head held high.
I want you to call me later and give me some food.
‘It’s all because I’ve been too good-natured all this time, so discipline has become lax! Anyway, if you treat them well, they’ll think about getting ahead of themselves. Tsk tsk! It’s all because I’ve become weak-hearted, because I’ve become weak.’
The reason I’m not scolding him right now is not because I’m scared of Ilno’s sturdy physique. Absolutely not!
However, Il-no ignored Hyung-sam’s glare and ate a piece of food that was in front of him.
“This crazy guy! He’s eating the food that should be presented to the Sobun family without permission!?”
Hyungsam jumped up from his spot.
How dare a lowly servant eat his master’s food? Does that make any sense?
But the atmosphere that Ilno gave off was so heavy that the servants could only watch each other closely and no one could protest about it.
Ilno chewed his food thoroughly for a long time, ignoring the gazes of those around him.
As if savoring the food to the fullest.
Then suddenly a deep furrow appeared between his eyes.
“This kind of trash… Ahem! You’re going to give it to your lord?”
“What? Trash?”
Hyungsam’s face crumpled.
Ilno took a bite of each of the other two foods, then ended up spitting them out on the floor.
The faces of the servants who were carrying the food turned pale.
Ilno went into the kitchen while he was at it, bent down, and picked up a piece of fish sauce that had fallen on the floor.
Tch!
Ilno chewed his food for a long time and then clicked his tongue lightly.
Then he personally helped up the fallen servant.
“Are you okay?”
“Okay, it’s okay.”
“You must be having a hard time because of an idiot who can’t even tell the difference between food and poop. I’m sorry, but could you ask the chef in charge to make one more dish of this?”
The servant trembled and looked back and forth between Il-no and Hyeong-sam.
Hyungsam’s face was now flushed red.
“Hey! What are you! Where the hell did that weird little bastard come in-”
“Please.”
The servant nodded absentmindedly and hurriedly went into the kitchen.

“Hey!! Can’t you hear me!?”
When Hyungsam finally couldn’t stand it anymore and exploded, rolling up one sleeve of his shirt, Ilno looked back with an indifferent expression.
“When I first came here, I was so surprised to hear that there were people who served their lord right next to them. I thought it was fortunate that they only wished that their lord would suffer less than the rest of us.”
“what-“
“That’s why I came here to say thank you… but this is truly extraordinary.”
Ilno glared at him as if he was going to eat Hyeongsam right away.
Hyungsam flinched without realizing it.
‘Wow, what kind of look are you looking at!’
Although Il-no was clearly just standing still, to Hyung-sam’s eyes it looked like a devil with long, slitted eyes had appeared.
Hyungsam’s face turned pale.
He had learned third-rate martial arts and had not even trained them properly, so he was unable to stand up to Il-no’s murderous intent that had already reached first-rate levels.
Even Il-no had accumulated a lot of practical experience by avoiding Cheon-san’s relentless pursuit over the past several years.
In addition, he began to learn martial arts little by little from Unhwi.
If I were to polish all of this, I would definitely be on par with the best.
Brrrrrr… … .
Hyungsam’s body trembled like an aspen tree.
My pants were getting a little damp.
“Sichuan cuisine is a vegetable cuisine, so the most important thing is a thick and rich flavor. If you don’t even know that kind of depth, how can you possibly present food to your lord?”
“!!”
“Your Majesty, you have tasted all the delicacies of the world, so this kind of trash must have been like torture to you…!”
Crack!
Il-no felt sorry for Un-hwi, who must have been suffering from food torture(?) all this time, and his teeth were gnashed.
Onma stroked Ilno’s head with his wings.
“Calm down. The young sect leader is much more easygoing than you think.”
Onma smiled slightly, thinking that Ilno’s loyalty was admirable, but that he still didn’t know exactly who the leader of the sect was.
Of course, from the perspective of an ordinary believer, they would have only seen the flashy and bold actions of the cult leader, so it was a natural attitude.
However, Onma knew very well how much the young leader had suffered growing up before catching the eye of the leader, and how many hardships he had overcome after becoming the young leader.
Wouldn’t you rather drink cheap liquor that you can drink with commoners than fancy delicacies from the mountains and seas?
So Onma wanted to ease Ilno’s worries.
“You’ve never once complained about something like this before, so it’s okay-“
『That must be because you were always worried about the suffering our believers were going through, so you couldn’t eat properly!』
“… Hmm?”
But something seems a bit strange?
“If you see one, you know ten. Perhaps you have always been like this in other things, blaming yourself, abusing yourself, and being lost in sorrow!”
Onma tilted his head for a moment without realizing it.
Self-reproach?
Self-harm?
Are you sad?
who?
The young leader?
… … .
They say that when people are suddenly shocked, they become speechless.
Onma was in exactly that state just now.
“Uh, um, so-“
The images of the young leader that he had seen over the past few months quickly flashed through Onma’s mind.
It seems like if there was something you didn’t like, you would start causing a fuss first…
『Furthermore, if the Sogyo leader had a warm personality, wouldn’t he have been able to properly express his anger at the servants’ foolish actions and unfair treatment!!』
Now I know what went wrong.
It seemed that the person called Sogyoju in Ilno’s mind was quite different from the Sogyoju he knew.
『My lord is always the one who brings hardship upon himself! He is always the one who puts himself in difficult places! But! Now I am right next to you!』
Flames burned brightly in Ilno’s eyes.
He clenched his fist.
『I can never let that happen again as long as I am here to serve you! Your health is the future of the Mythical Sect! From now on, I will take care of everything, from your food to your every move!!』
“… Well, if that’s what you want, then.”
Since it has come to this, let’s just leave it like this.
Onma didn’t want to dampen the enthusiasm of his juniors by correcting misunderstandings that weren’t misunderstandings.
It seems that the illusions and misunderstandings about the cult leader have gone beyond the realm of faith and into the realm of fanaticism… Well, I guess you’ll figure it out.
Ilno looked around at the surrounding servants and attendants and shouted.
“Bring a knife! If you have a Chinese iron skillet, bring one too!!”
The servants and maids began to move hurriedly.
Although Hyungsam was still standing in a corner, the mood had already shifted to Ilno’s side.
Hyung-sam, who suddenly opened his eyes and lost the initiative, couldn’t even protest.
The eagle sitting on Ilno’s head quietly turned its gaze this way.
“!!”
The hawk suddenly grew so big that I felt like it was going to eat me.
Iron fist!
Hyungsam ended up being so shocked that he collapsed on the floor.
Hiccup! Hiccup!
I had chills and hiccups.
My pants also got completely wet.
“Don’t turn it off, you punk?”
“!!!”
On top of that, I was hearing auditory hallucinations in my head.
The bird! The bird is talking!
Hyungsam ran out of the kitchen with his face turned pale.
Onma looked down at Ilno again.
A peculiar yet pitiful guy.
It seemed like his hometown junior would be in need of a lot of attention in the future.
But it was certain that it had the flavor worth growing.
Perhaps this child will be the model for the future reconstruction of the Angmasinhwajong… … .
‘By the way.’
Onma was worried.
‘What was this guy’s name?’
Onma tilted his head to the side.
* * *
Ilno concentrated on cooking again.
‘This is food for the lord to eat. It should be not only delicious, but also provide a sense of home.’
I hope that while the Master eats this food, he will be happy and think of his hometown.
Ilno truly thought so.
