Episode 239. Guilt (1)

Early in the morning. Cheon Myeong-myeong was lying in bed, trying to sleep.

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly opened his eyes as if he had woken up from sleep.

‘It’s refreshing.’

It was a morning that made me feel like I had had a good night’s sleep for the first time in a while.

It may have been because the competition was over and he was able to sleep comfortably, but Cheon Myeong-myeong thought that the biggest reason was the softness of the bed he was lying in.

A comfort that felt like it was wrapping around your body. It was a bedroom that felt on a completely different level from where you had slept before.

Swish-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked around while slightly raising his head.

Just by looking at the soft bed and the furniture placed around it, you could tell that this was a different room from the one Cheon Myeong-myeong usually stayed in.

Originally, the place where Cheon Myeong-myeong lived did not have a bedroom with such ornate embroidery or antique furniture.

The Small Palace. Cheon Myeong-myeong spent his first night there, where only the Small Leader of the Magical Cult can stay.

‘That’s awkward.’

It still felt awkward knowing that this was his room.

Of course, it was impossible for the leader of the Magical Church to stay in such a shabby place, so he moved his residence here for the time being, but he still couldn’t get used to the environment that had changed overnight.

Even just the size of the room seemed several times larger than the place he had been staying before.

The room seemed unnecessarily large, which made it feel even more out of place.

‘But I like the bedroom.’

I didn’t like the size of the room or the excessive amount of unnecessary furniture, but I really liked this soft bed.

All this time, he had been sleeping on a hard rock instead of in a bedroom.

I was able to sleep very comfortably, to the point where I felt like that.

‘It’s so soft, I don’t want to go out.’

It was a bedroom that had the talent of making people lazy.

But he couldn’t lie here forever, so Cheon Myeong-myeong kicked off the blanket and came down from the bedroom.

Druk-.

Just then the door to the room opened and someone came in.

At the sudden visit, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s hand unconsciously reached for the sword that was placed next to him.

“Have you already coughed?”

“…….”

“I’m sorry. I thought you were still sleeping, so I came in without saying anything.”

The person who opened the door and came in was a maid from the small palace.

‘Yes, now there are maids too.’

Dozens of maids always reside in the small palace.

All of them are beings who move only for the sake of the cult leader, Cheon Myeong-Myeong. Cheon Myeong-Myeong can use them as his minions at any time.

Of course, since she had just come home last night, she hadn’t given any specific orders, but Cheon Myeong-myeong felt awkward about having a maid around.

‘The little sect leader comes to wake me up every morning.’

It was a natural thing, but to Cheon Myeong-myeong, it was also unfamiliar.

Of course, there were people who provided meals in the past, but they were only providing meals and could not be called maids.

On the other hand, the being in front of you is a maid who moves only for herself.

Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly recalled the name of the maid he had heard last night.

“Did you say it was oil painting?”

“You remembered my name.”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong said her name, Yu-hwa smiled happily.

Of course, I couldn’t remember all the maids’ names in one night, but I clearly remembered the name of Yu-hwa, the head maid of this small palace.

“Your Majesty, I have prepared a meal and a bath.”

“……?”

“What would you like to do first?”

Even if you eat like that, you have to take a bath in the morning.

I heard yesterday that there is a private bath in the palace just for the little lord.

It was late at night so I couldn’t take a bath yesterday, but it seemed that if the little sect leader wanted, he could take a bath in the morning.

“Then let’s take a bath first.”

“Yes, then I will guide you, Your Majesty.”

Little Master. I knew that was the title I was called by, but it still didn’t feel familiar to me.

After taking the Wind Demon Sword and the Flame Sword, Cheon Myeong-myeong followed Yu-hwa to the bathhouse.

“……?”

The entrance to the bath.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was passing by when he saw Yu-hwa and the maids following him, and he stopped walking with a puzzled look on his face.

“Why are you guys trying to come in?”

At that question, Yu-hwa looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong as if she was puzzled.

“Why are you coming in? Of course, it’s to help the young sect leader take a bath.”

“Want to take a bath?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Why do you need an attendant to take a bath?”

“Whether it’s taking off your clothes or washing your body… or anything else you need, I will always stay by your side to carry out your orders.”

All the maids in the palace were the hands and feet of the cult leader.

Even simple tasks like undressing or washing are mostly taken care of by the maids.

Even if he wasn’t necessarily a cult leader, if he had grown up in a family with some reputation, these things would have felt natural, but Cheon Myeong-myeong had been completely on his own from the beginning.

Of course, it would have felt awkward for Cheon Myeong-myeong to be in charge of bathing, and even though he was a junior cult leader, he had no intention of asking them to do something like that.

“Okay. I’ll take a bath by myself.”

“……?”

“There’s no need to dress or undress them. So just wait outside or go do other things.”

“However…….”

“If I really need you, I’ll call you.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at Yu-hwa with determined eyes.

When he spoke so firmly, Yu-hwa did not say anything else, but instead lowered her head and motioned to the maids behind her as if telling them to leave.

“If you need anything, please call. I will wait outside.”

With those words, Yu-hwa also went out.

Cheon Myeong-myeong stood still until the door was completely closed, and then let out a small sigh as the door closed.

‘I think you’re wearing clothes that don’t fit.’

The life of a small religious leader that everyone envies. However, Cheon Myeong-myeong seemed to feel uncomfortable from the first day.

I only had the thought of becoming a cult leader, and I didn’t think about such trivial details.

‘I think it will take some time to adjust.’

Cheon Myeong-myeong muttered to himself as he began to take off the clothes he was wearing.

Cheon Myeong-myeong entered the room with a plodding gait.

‘I’m tired.’

Until this morning, life was quite satisfactory.

The bathroom was spacious and had a nice ambiance, and the bath water was just the right temperature, so I felt like I was in paradise as I soaked in it.

Of course, the meal was also satisfactory.

The variety of food was so great that it was hard to decide where to start with my chopsticks, and they were all delicious.

But that was the only satisfaction I had. From the morning onwards, hell began.

“From now on, the young leader must learn the knowledge necessary to become a leader.”

“……?”

“Today, let’s study the study of kingship first.”

The leader must be strong.

Cheon Myeong-myeong has proven his strength by defeating numerous competitors so far.

However, these are only some of the virtues required of a cult leader.

Since he had already satisfied his military aspect, Cheon Myeong-myeong studied the other necessary subjects as a junior cult leader from morning until now.

‘My head is pounding.’

If I had just moved my body, I probably wouldn’t have been this tired.

Of course, I had learned the basics since I was young, but the knowledge that the new leader had to learn was more than that.

The depth and quantity of my knowledge were incomparable to when I was young.

It was only natural that my body had trouble adjusting to sitting still and reading a book for the first time in a long time.

“…….”

So, other candidates usually prepare for this by studying a little bit from a young age.

If you learn a little bit of academic knowledge, it will be much easier to learn later.

Of course, for that to be possible, you would need to have a separate personal teacher, but of course, there was no way Cheon Myeong-myeong could do that.

dump-.

In the end, the mandate meant that everything had to start from scratch.

So, it is bound to be much more difficult than others.

It was because I couldn’t answer a basic question today that it got this late.

I thought it was enough to just become stronger, but I never thought the Sogyoju would have to do something like this. Cheon Myeong-myeong approached the bedroom with tired steps and collapsed right there.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Then a voice was heard from somewhere.

Cheon Myeong-myeong heard a familiar voice in his ear and immediately got up straight, dragging his tired body.

Before he knew it, Seodaemun had materialized and was right next to him, and seeing Seodaemun after such a long time seemed to give Cheon Myeong-myeong some strength.

“You look pretty tired.”

“…I’m sorry. My disciple showed an ugly side.”

“Was class difficult today?”

“…Yes, a little.”

Anyway, Seodaemun-gu would have watched the whole situation from inside.

Cheon Myeong-myeong answered honestly, and Seo Dae-mun asked calmly while looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“It’s natural that it’s hard. You’ve been focusing on nothing more than your studies, and people naturally have difficulty with things they’re not familiar with.”

“…….”

“But learning is also something that a disciple must do. Are you willing to give that up?”

“No. Not for a moment did I think about giving up.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong answered firmly and immediately.

Of course, the sudden change to an unfamiliar environment felt somewhat difficult, but Cheon Myeong-myeong had no intention of giving up on the cult leader just because of that.

How did you end up here?

Surviving the competition and becoming the leader of the sect may be considered as having achieved one’s primary goal, but failing to maintain it would ultimately be tantamount to failure.

“I will become the leader of the Magic Church.”

“…….”

“So, I will make the Magical Church mine in the future. Then, I will definitely be able to keep my promise to my master.”

Destroy the Magic Cult. That was the promise Cheon Myeong-myeong made with Seodaemun.

If you think about it simply, there would be a way to destroy the Magic Cult from the outside, but in fact, there was an easier and more certain way.

That is to destroy the magic cult from within.

If you become the leader of the Magic Cult, wouldn’t you be able to control the Magic Cult as you wish with just one command?

In other words, it was quite possible to lead the Magic Church down the path to destruction.

“…Are you still clinging to that promise?”

“Because that was the beginning of my revenge.”

“…….”

“If I hadn’t met you, Master, and made that promise, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Seodaemun also knew.

The fact that Cheon Myeong-myeong would definitely keep that promise. The disciples that he had seen so far were people who kept their word no matter what happened.

Of course, Seodaemun could not forgive the Magic Cult that led the Cheonmasingyo sect he ruled to the path of destruction.

However, Seodaemun was worried that Cheon Myeong-myeong might give up his own life and go down the wrong path because of his revenge…

“Naming, if…….”

That was when.

Seodaemun couldn’t help but swallow his words when he suddenly heard a voice outside the door.

“Your Majesty, we have a guest.”

It was Yuhwa’s voice.

Cheon Myeong-myeong glanced at the door, then looked at Seodaemun again.

Before he knew it, the Seodaemun Gate had disappeared, and upon confirming this fact, Cheon Myeong-myeong looked straight towards the gate and said.

“Who is it?”

“I wish to see the leader of the Nakcheonmun Buddhist Order.”

Nakcheonmun. Cheon Myeong-myeong’s eyes widened slightly at the fact that he had come to see her.
