Episode 178: The Girl, Dan Yehwa
[[Why are you laughing?]]
“Oh, I was wondering who that guy resembled. It was you. Does your personality change when you wear a mask? You really are good at talking nonsense in a strange and dizzying tone. Let me just say it simply. I’m afraid of my father. You mean and dirty little brat.”
[[… … Was he someone who lacked even the bare minimum of dignity? In the end, this was all he had to do. Is it inevitable that the blood of sin will flow?]]
Crunch. An eerie sound flowed out of my body. I felt the excruciating pain of my bones crumbling to dust as the force tightened around my entire body.
But I narrowed my eyes and spat out what I wanted to say in anger.
“You crazy kid. I was an idiot for trusting you and relying on you. If I had known this would happen, I would have told my father everything you did and asked him to erase it. Hehe… … . What a shame, what a shame.”
[[… … Does that mean Amazon doesn’t know anything? That’s a foolish lie.]]
“I never thought you would be this shameless. Nameless. No, Heavenly Princess. Open your ears and listen carefully. Who is the one who messed up things because you couldn’t even properly educate your child? If that bastard hadn’t drawn his sword on me, then my father wouldn’t have gotten involved. Lies? If I hadn’t lied to my father and gotten away with it, would you be this relaxed right now? With my father’s personality?”
[[… … .]]
“Create a dragon? Open the gates of the heavenly mountains? Damn it. You’re finished. Kill me, and then go fight your father like you so desperately wanted. I’ll curse you in the afterlife. Haha!”
[[… … If you are trying to avoid the situation, it is useless.]]
“I was the one who reached out to you first, saying I would live a beggarly life. Do you think I would have done so if I had another choice? Heavenly Princess… … Think wisely. I can help you, and you just have to protect me. Is that difficult?”
[[… … .]]
A pup full of distrust.
Now I know for sure.
Whether anonymous or ignorant, more than anything else, I hate it when variables emerge that I cannot control within the categories I have established.
And to this guy, the only variable is the Trinity.
That must mean that something dark and disgusting is going on.
But that’s why you have to hold my hand even more.
“You still don’t believe me? Then go to Gwangmyeong Palace and check for yourself. No. The reason you kept quiet and came to me so late was because you had already decided to be together.”
As I threw out my words as if I was hammering a nail into the ground, after a while I felt a creepy laughter coming out of the nameless person.
You annoying little shit.
Then, the pressure that had been squeezing my body disappeared completely.
Then my body gradually sank to the ground, and Myeong looked at me absentmindedly and said.
[[That’s right. You’ve made me happy this time too. I’ll give you another chance.]]
You son of a bitch. You never had any intention of killing me in the first place.
Yeah, you enjoy it.
I guess I’ll have to take what I get.
“But what should I do? I can’t trust you anymore.”
The real negotiations start now.
[[… … The moment words are spoken, responsibility comes as a byproduct.]]
Does that make sense to someone who knows that?
“If you’re going to trust each other, the calculations have to be solid. I trusted you and did everything I could, but what happened? Not only did you drug me, you tried to harm me. If it weren’t for my father, I wouldn’t be here.”
[[However, it is also an undeniable fact that he survived.]]
“그것마저도 네 뜻이었다고 떠벌리고 싶은 건 아니겠지? 게다가 아버지께 둘러대기 위해, 나는 미혼산에 취해 허덕이는 개새끼가 되어야 했다.”
[[What does it mean?]]
“You’ll know in just three days. Rumors will spread all over the world that I’m eating unmarried food and getting sick.”
[[Are you saying that you covered yourself in filth to fool Amazon?]]
“What if you don’t do that? Do you think Father will forgive you for trying to kill me? I came to you without any plan to get medicine. I was drunk on Mihonsan, so of course I would have been stubborn. That’s why you did the bare minimum to defend yourself. And Father happened to be here at that time. Do you understand how much damage I suffered?”
[[… … .]]
“So if you’re going to treat me right, do it right. So I can trust you. Even a dog will look down on its owner and bite him if the food isn’t good enough.”
After I finished speaking, I looked at him.
Even if you just go in as a rookie and do what you’re told, you won’t find out anything.
You must be in a position where you can look down on what kind of conspiracy is being carried out while holding an important position.
The silent anonymous person opened his mouth.
[[You have chosen a difficult path. Excessive greed invites trouble. Your only choice is to follow the burden. If you cannot accept it… …you will simply disappear.]]
The momentum of the unknown once again overwhelmed the surroundings with a lively air.
My knees are shaking and I’m out of breath.
This guy… … This time I’m serious.
I clenched my teeth and didn’t look away.
For those who risk their lives, there comes a time when they are in a desperate situation and must face a huge wall.
Most of us, accustomed to days of standing still or stepping back to avoid the situation, fail to overcome it and end up dying.
But my life has been without a way out since I was born.
So I… … .
I have never backed down.
“I’ve never taken the easy way out. I need to have two things: clear authority in the heavenly palace, and the truth that’s being hidden.”
As I spoke, a blizzard and haze engulfed me like a typhoon.
Tens of thousands of eyes rotated and watched me eerily, as if they were staring at me through a hole in a dog’s mouth.
[[That which cannot be swallowed is not coveted.]]
“You have to try it to know. I have the authority of the right wing and the military, and even the issuance of the pass that the left wing had. I think this is enough of a deal. If you don’t like it, kill me here. Of course, I will have to face my father later. That is, at a time that has not yet come.”
Anyway, there is no choice for you or me.
The more the body is heavy for you, the more so.
And my prediction was not wrong.
The typhoon disappeared, and a round, golden nameplate flew out of an anonymous hand and landed on my hand.
When I picked it up and examined it, it was a strange pattern that seemed to have some kind of magnetism, separating and combining in a diamond shape.
[[This is the Heavenly Dragon Seal that only a lion can possess. I grant it to you.]]
Cheonryongpae. A memorable word. A nameplate symbolizing the heavenly palace.

Nightmare… … . Yes. He definitely had a piece of this.
So was he just a lackey of the Heavenly King?
I nodded, my expression fading.
“There must be one more left. Since we’re on the same boat, I should know what you guys are up to. Then I’ll treat you accordingly.”
[[If you go to Geumbong, you will know everything. Since you will not be back for a long time, tell Ma-jon that it is to cure the pulse.]]
“Golden Bong?”
He asked with a look of wonder, but the man disappeared like the wind as if he had never been there.
Thud, thud. Only the pure white snowstorm that I had forgotten about rests on my shoulders.
“Geumbong… … .”
I spent a long time reflecting on his words and staring at the hazy sky, unable to see even an inch ahead.

Myunggyo Subong Market
A cramped, dark room located in a remote area between houses that are complexly arranged like a maze.
A man was fighting a deep wound alone, sweating profusely.
The hems of his clothes are all torn, and his body is covered in red scars that look like ridges of sand.
“Macheonso… …Ma Taepyeong… … .”
In addition, he mutters two names that cannot be spoken in Cheonsan.
“I will definitely… … repay this humiliation. One by one, one by one. I will make you lose everything. Hehe… … .”
He was consumed by revenge and surprisingly, it was the heavenly messenger Banya.
He survived without dying.
He lay face down, his teeth grinding and his anger building up, and he continued to breathe energy into his body.
Even though he was called the One Magical Saint, the wounds he received from Bukmyeongsingong were not easily healed.
His howl erupted in excruciating pain and he hit the floor.
It was just one move.
Even though the opponent was the world’s greatest demon lord, I couldn’t believe that he was defeated so easily.
I was so angry.
“How pathetic.”
Just then a heavy bass sound flowed from behind.
Banya walked up to the wall without looking back and sat down with his back against it.
I raised my head slightly and looked up, and there was an old man with a huge build and solid muscles like a god.
“Hehehe… … Are you here to make fun of me?”
“The Amazon was not an opponent you could dare to fight. You had to experience it yourself to realize it. You are not worthy of being a Heavenly Archer.”
“Haha! When the great Xiongnu of the world speaks like this, my heart trembles. Why? Should I return the Heavenly Dragon Seal?”
Huns. That’s it.
He was facing Banya with eerie eyes that showed no emotion at all.
As a messenger of the Heavenly Palace, not a butler of the Somyeong Palace.
“… … The master has taken the young sect leader away. So if you were planning on doing something useless, you’d better erase it from your mind.”
“Haha! Shut up. I will tell the master myself. The young sect leader clearly has intentions… … .”
When Banya recalled the appearance of the cult leader, his voice naturally filled with anger. It was clear that he was hiding something. Finding out this was the first priority.
However, the Huns immediately dismissed it.
“There is no need for that. He has already gone to Geumbong, and the master has left everything to me.”
“Hunnooooo!”
Black smoke shot out fiercely from Banya’s body and turned into spear blades that struck the Huns.
one.
Kwaaang!
As the Xiongnu stomped his feet, the ground shook as if it were going to burst, and his muscles bulged as if they were going to burst. His sharp momentum was trampled helplessly by the Xiongnu’s fighting spirit.
“I will say this again for the last time. The Young Master will now be with us as a messenger from the heavenly palace.”
“Hun, Huns! Come to your senses. You are a man of integrity who dares to plot a trick in front of me. And yet, he has the rank of a lion like us. Oh, is it that you have been a slave for so long that your judgment has become dull? Is that so? Haha! It’s funny. It’s funny. Does your heart race when you meet someone you have served for ten years? Tell me. Yes?”
Banya’s sparkling eyes were brimming with murderous intent.
Even to the slightest remark, the Huns remained indifferent, as if it were nothing.
He was not a person so light that he would be moved by the constant appeals of a loser.
“Banya. If you do anything that harms the creation of the dragon body, then you will have to face me. This will also be the last time the master will forgive you.”
“Keuheuk… … Haha!”
The Huns looked down at him with an indifferent gaze, then turned around and went outside.
Banya’s madness soon turned into a roar, and his pitiful cries echoed lonely.

A day has passed since Anmyeong left.
I opened my eyelids to the sound of chirping birds, and the pure white snow had stopped and the sky had cleared up.
It was a truly cozy morning.
If it weren’t for the screams of Yaul-tak that would come out whenever I forgot.
“Little Leader-!”
Knock knock!
The sliding doors opened wide as if they were going to break, and Yaryutak’s round face suddenly popped in between them.
“Out there right now… … Ugh!”
Shhh! Shh!
Yalyutak quickly dodged the thrown inkstone and caught it.
It seems that his movements have improved considerably, and his practice of Taegwisaldo has picked up steam again.
I looked at the mirror, adjusted my clothes, and spoke to the guy who was grumbling over me.
“He didn’t even show his face during the chaos yesterday. Why is he making a fuss?”
“Yesterday? I was out because I thought they’d ask me to shovel snow? Oh no! Oh, don’t throw it. I told you there’s trouble outside right now.”
“What’s going on? Stop talking nonsense. I’m going to Geumbong for a while, so focus on your training… … .”
“Fiancee! Your fiancee has arrived!”
Fiancee? Who? Me?
It was truly an absurd thing to say, but the moment I saw a young girl standing shyly next to Yul-tak in Tokyo with a charming smile on her face.
I realized.
“Are you the leader of the cult? My name is Dan Ye-hwa.”
That I had a woman.
