Episode 203. The Only Child (1)

Cheon Myeong-myeong was heading to the Wei Zhenghui together with Cheon Yu-su.

“…….”

Last night, Oh In-su came to see me.

Cheon Myeong-myeong thought that Oh In-su had come to him because of the announcement regarding the second ranking announcement, but when he asked about it, he gave an unexpected answer.

“Prince Cheon Myeong Myeong passed the exam.”

“……?”

“However, there is an announcement to be made at noon tomorrow, so please come to the council meeting.”

When the first rankings were announced, the successful and unsuccessful candidates were announced on site along with the rankings.

However, Oh In-su told me whether I had passed or not as soon as he saw me, and added something meaningful.

“All successful applicants must attend the meeting tomorrow. If you do not attend, your acceptance may be cancelled, so please make sure to attend.”

“Your acceptance has been cancelled?”

“It means that you may be eliminated from the competition.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard those words.

They’re going to disqualify me simply for not attending the gathering.

Of course, he had intended to attend the meeting even without saying that, but what Cheon Myeong-myeong was curious about was what the Weizhenghui would announce by going that far.

‘… Something is not right.’

This was the first time that all participants in a council meeting were forcibly gathered together.

Furthermore, adding that if he did not come, he would be disqualified from the competition was no different from threatening with a knife to his neck.

“…….”

It didn’t seem like today’s gathering would end with a simple ranking announcement.

Cheon Myeong-myeong sensed this before he even arrived and arrived in front of the Weizhenghui.

“Your Highness the Prince of Cheonmyeongmyeong, and Your Highness the Prince of Cheonyusu.”

“…….”

“Confirmed. Please come in.”

When we arrived at the main gate, Oh In-su was guarding the entrance.

Does checking from the entrance like this mean that they have no intention of letting in candidates who haven’t passed the exam?

In other words, it seemed that the only candidates who could pass through this main gate were those who passed the second ranking announcement.

“Something about the atmosphere feels off.”

“…….”

“What on earth are they going to do with all the successful candidates? Naming them.”

As we passed through the main gate, Cheon Yu-su asked us this.

“Well, wouldn’t it be better to ask that question to him rather than to me?”

“That person…?”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong pointed somewhere with his eyes, Cheon Yu-su unconsciously looked at that place.

At that moment, both eyes widened in surprise.

After spotting Cheon Aeng-hwa approaching him, Cheon Yu-su hurriedly hid behind Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“It’s been a while.”

“Yes, it’s been a while.”

“You’re still alive.”

“…….”

“I’m kidding.”

I couldn’t tell if he knew something when he said that, or if he was just saying it.

But in reality, Cheon Myeong-myeong had been on the brink of death not long ago, so those words did not sound like a simple joke.

“You look healthy too, sister.”

“thank you.”

“By the way, this guy has something to ask you, sister.”

“……?”

As Cheon Aeng-hwa tilted her head, Cheon Myeong-myeong pulled Cheon Yu-su, who was hiding behind her, forward.

Cheon Yu-su is startled when his eyes meet with Cheon Aeng-hwa’s right in front of him.

Like a mouse in front of a cat, I tried to hide behind Cheon Myeong-myeong’s back in a panic, but Cheon Myeong-myeong held on tightly, so I was unable to escape from that spot.

“Hey, Myeong-yeong! Why are you doing this!”

“Didn’t you say you had some questions? My older sister knows more about things than I do, so feel free to ask her.”

“Ah, no, I’m not that curious…….”

Cheon Yu-su looked like a little child, fidgeting.

That was understandable, as he had never had a personal conversation with Cheon Aeng-hwa, and Cheon Yu-su was fundamentally afraid of the people of the Demonic Clan.

Among them, isn’t Cheon Aeng-hwa a person from the Hong Myeong family?

Just the fact that he was meeting that person’s eyes right in front of him made Cheon Yu-su feel like his heart was going to burst.

“You… yes, Cheon Yu-su.”

“……!”

“Is this your first time having a conversation with me like this?”

Of course, Cheon Aeng-hwa knew Cheon Yu-su.

Of course, in the past, I only knew about him, but recently, I naturally became interested in him because he was a close associate of Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“So what do you want to know from me?”

“Oh, I’m not curious about anything!”

“What? You’re not curious about anything… Are you doubting my information power?”

Cheon Yu-su said that in an attempt to not offend Cheon Aeng-hwa as much as possible, but it seemed that his actions actually offended her.

Just by Cheon Aeng-hwa slightly frowning, Cheon Yu-su’s face became more serious than before.

‘If I do this any more, I’ll die.’

Since Cheon Myeong-myeong had some contact with Cheon Aeng-hwa recently, he wanted to use this opportunity to get to know Cheon Yu-su better.

But isn’t this the kind of situation where Cheon Yu-su dies of a heart attack first while trying to open up?

Was it still too early to greet Cheon Aeng-hwa? … Cheon Myeong-myeong thought so and let go of Cheon Yu-su’s body.

“Let’s greet each other later.”

“Name! It was scary!”

“Yeah, I guess I was a little rushed.”

As soon as he let go of her hand, Cheon Yu-su hid behind Cheon Myeong-myeong again.

Seeing that sight, Cheon Aeng-hwa let out a laugh as if she couldn’t believe it.

“What did I just do?”

“My sister looks a bit scary.”

“I?”

“Yes, isn’t the child afraid of his older sister?”

“…….”

There was no way to deny that.

He hated children to begin with, and whenever he happened to run into them while passing by, he only remembered them crying at him.

Cheon Aeng-hwa looked strangely offended and glared at Cheon Yu-su with sharp eyes.

“……!”

At those eyes, Cheon Yu-su completely hid his body behind her back.

When that image overlapped with the image of the child running away from her, Cheon Aeng-hwa felt even worse than before.

“Don’t you know, Sister?”

“…what?”

“Why did the council call the successful candidates here? And why did they even say that if they didn’t come, they would be disqualified from the competition?”

Even during the second ranking announcement, Cheon Aeng-hwa seemed to know what was going to happen.

So maybe you know something this time too?

Cheon Myeong-myeong asked with that in mind, but contrary to his expectations, Cheon Aeng-hwa immediately shook her head.

“I don’t know either.”

“…….”

“There’s only one thing I know. The secondary rankings were originally scheduled to be announced today.”

It was the same as the first ranking announcement.

The rankings of the candidates were announced, and those who passed and those who were eliminated were announced. That was the information that Cheon Ae-Hwa originally knew.

But somehow, it suddenly changed into a notice, and even Cheon Aeng-hwa didn’t know what it contained.

“In the first place, the government only invited those who passed the exam here. You must know that, right?”

“Yes, I know.”

“There are 25 people who passed. Now there is less than half left.”

“25 people…….”

The competition began and the year changed.

As that much time passed, it was normal for the number of remaining candidates to decrease, but when I actually heard the numbers, I really felt like the competition was coming to an end.

“The competition is now heading towards its final stage.”

“…….”

“There aren’t many missions on the bulletin board anymore. So I think the competition method might change again… Well, that’s just my guess.”

One of the most important elements of competition is retaliation.

Until now, candidates had been receiving enemy fire through tasks assigned by the National Assembly, but the fact that those tasks had run out meant that there was no longer a way to receive enemy fire.

All that remains is for them to declare war on each other and fight.

So are you suggesting another way to obtain the enemy’s firearms? … … It was a reasonable guess.

“I think so too.”

“yes?”

“There is just one thing that is bothering me.”

“Is something on your mind?”

“The fact that all successful applicants must participate. What do you think about that?”

In the last notice, there was no such thing.

In fact, Cheon Myeong-myeong did not participate, and even though he later went to the Weizhenghui and received a separate explanation, there was nothing special about it.

But this time, Cheon Myeong-myeong felt it was strange that such a thing had been added.

“What is that…. Is it too much of a hassle to say it twice?”

“…….”

“That can’t be right.”

“Is this a joke too?”

“I just said it.”

Cheon Aeng-hwa avoided eye contact as if embarrassed.

“But that could be an opportunity for us.”

“…opportunity?”

“Yeah. There’s someone I really don’t want here.”

Cheon Aeng-hwa didn’t say who the person was, but Cheon Myeong-myeong seemed to know who it was.

Because as soon as I heard that, one face immediately came to mind.

No, even if it wasn’t necessarily Cheon Myeong-myeong, if it was a candidate participating in the competition, everyone would have thought of one person consistently.

“…a thousand and one.”

“Correct answer.”

“Isn’t that just a vain delusion?”

Any candidate who does not come to this event today will be immediately eliminated from the race.

Of course, that fact must have reached Cheon Il-myeong’s ears as well… … It was normal for him to come unless he had the intention of being eliminated.

“I’ll admit I mixed in about ten spoonfuls of my own desires.”

“…….”

“But it’s not like it’s completely impossible.”

There have been several gatherings of brothers so far.

But most of the time, Cheon Il-myeong did not come to that place.

There was only one reason. It was because he thought he was number one in the hierarchy.

“Cheon Il-myeong, if I had to describe that person in one word, that would be it.”

“…….”

“Infant’s independence.”

Candidates for the Magic Ten Family have a tendency to look down on others.

It may be that he was born that way, but the environment around him had the biggest influence.

From the moment of birth, you have inherited the blood of the cult leader, and on the other hand, you have a family on your maternal side that is called the pillar of the magic cult.

Naturally, the idea that one is the best was instilled in them from a young age.

Among them, Cheon Il-myeong has never been less than number one since he was young.

One hundred brothers who inherited the cult leader’s blood. Among them, he is number one in the hierarchy.

That position of number one made Cheon Il-myeong who he is today, and Cheon Il-myeong has always lived his life befitting that position.

“Cheon Il-myeong, do you know what that person hates the most?”

“…What is it?”

“An act that lowers one’s status.”

“…….”

“If it’s someone you don’t recognize to some extent, they’ll try to kill you just for talking to you.”

At first glance, he seemed like a crazy person, but that was Cheon Il-myeong.

No, the crazy person was right.

However, Cheon Il-myeong himself thought that was natural and so he acted that way.

Swish-.

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s gaze turned somewhere.

“It seems like your sister’s wish didn’t come true.”

“……?”

At Cheon Myeong-myeong’s words, Cheon Aeng-hwa also looked in that direction.

No, the moment he entered through the main gate, all eyes around him were turned towards that place.

A confident gait as if one were the center of the world.

Cheon Il-myeong, he was entering the Wei Zheng Hui with a noble appearance.

“I was slightly looking forward to it……. It’s disappointing.”

“…….”

“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do. No matter what, it wasn’t to that extent…….”

That was when.

Cheon Aeng-hwa swallowed her words as she watched Cheon Myeong-myeong suddenly walking away.

“……?”

Where is that guy going now?

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at her with a puzzled look for a moment, but when she realized where Cheon Myeong-myeong was headed, Cheon Aeng-hwa couldn’t help but be shocked.

‘Sir, no way… …!’

No matter how I looked at it, my suspicion was correct.

The place that Cheon Myeong Myeong was heading to right now was exactly the direction that Cheon Il Myeong was walking.

chuck-.

Within a few minutes, Cheon Myeong Myeong stopped walking.

When Tteokhani Cheon Myeong-myeong blocked his way, Cheon Il-myeong also stopped walking, and everyone around him could not help but be shocked at the sight.

“It’s my first time greeting you.”

“…….”

“It’s called a thousand-mandate.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong greeted them with a light welcome.
