Surviving the Romance Fantasy - Surviving the Romance Fantasy chapter 87

They are a group of technicians who have experienced all kinds of hardships. They value practical things and are rarely swayed by worldly power.

Should I say that it is like the people of Jeongseon? While they pursued power, they often had other important philosophies in mind besides power.

They are the opposite of the people of Seal Haga who are focused on power.

Is it because of that? It is not easy to suppress them with just the position of Hyeongwoljang.

In their eyes, there is a high possibility that I will be seen as a young person with a high rank.

However, since he cannot be completely free from worldly power, he is treated as a superior, but that only ends there.

Not only that, the look in the eyes of the adjutant who was standing behind me with his head bowed earlier was unusual.

“Why is Sihwa, who expressed his ambition to become the best bureaucrat as a prosecutor, here serving as an adjutant?”

I look at my lieutenant, Ha Shi-hwa, with a grin and look at him with disdain.

Metalworker Inyun.

Jeongseon Inga’s technical representative. With her flowing red hair, she looks like a queen at first glance, but unlike her always dignified appearance, she has a sharper and more snobbish look.

The short bob ends above the shoulder, and if it is longer than that, it seems to be a hindrance to working.

Women holding technician positions often had short hair like that. It was highly likely that the compromise she made on her shoulders was an expression of her desire to improve her appearance as a woman.

“You mean a craftsman? Until recently, he had been talking about wanting to become a person who could pound iron like his grandfather… but I guess his belief was limited to that level.”

Hashihwa accepted it with a smile, just like Hashihwa did.

I felt like sparks were flying as the two fought, but I blocked them by clearing my throat once.

Anyway, Inyun had no choice but to bow his head and retreat since Ha Sihwa was my subordinate.

“Anyway, unpack your things and rest. “I’ll go take a look once my internal affairs work is over.”

“Thank you for caring me.”

He sent Inyun and the technicians off with a neat thank you note.

Anyway, it seemed like the active room development plan was really starting to accelerate.

“Daein Seol, I’m so anxious.”

Meanwhile, Bicheon came up to me and asked.

“If this continues… won’t the active room simply become a battlefield between the Sealing House and the Jeongseon House? “It’s like mixing water and oil, which cannot be mixed, in one place.”

“That’s what I hoped for.”

When I said that, Bicheon looked dumbfounded.

You still have a long way to go, Bicheon.

In a battlefield, the place where the most money is invested is the battlefield.

Japanese Ghost (2)

There was a world of hell spread out on Seondo Mountain in the Anhyang region.

A huge superior demon reigns at the top of the mountain, looking down as if it wants to devour everything on earth.

Looking at the numerous groups of middle-grade demons coming down from the top, one might be tempted to believe that the world has already been destroyed.

Tens of thousands of Cheongdo soldiers flocked to slay the demons, but in the end, if they did not kill the superior demons at the top of the mountain, this hell would continue forever.

Deputy General Jeong Seong-tae, looking up at the nobleman on the mountain in front of the great army, grabbed his sword sheath.

Her fingertips were trembling, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.

He was a man who enjoyed being afraid.

*

– mate!

Hashihwa’s rolled-up cheeks were turning red.

Although she had been stabbed several times when she was young, it had been a long time since she had received such a sincere slap, so the corners of Ha Shihwa’s eyes trembled for a moment.

“Ugly bastard.”

No matter how many times you experience being touched by a rough man, you will never get used to it.

Ha Si-hwa quickly bowed his head and apologized to Ha Kang-seok, the head of the sealing family.

“sorry. “Because the activity room was more busy than expected, we were unable to contact you properly.”

“okay. “I am relieved to hear that the executioner didn’t use any special tricks, but that means that your half-hearted contact and neglect of the sealing family’s affairs for such a long time was entirely a result of your laziness.”

Even though He Xihua had ten mouths, she had nothing to say.

As it rained for a few days, the construction work of the active room took a break, so there was no reason to refuse the sealing Haga’s call.

It was fully expected that I would be scolded like this when I came home.

“I used the power and money of Seal Haga to feed him, put him to sleep, and even put him to bed, but are you repaying the favor with such laziness? “Are you feeling ashamed?”

“yes. “I’m truly sorry, old man.”

– mate!

His cheeks were lifted once more, but Hashihwa lowered his head again and looked down at the floor.

“Do you think they sent you there to become an industrial force for some active room? Even if you bring in people and raise them, it is truly meaningless. “It’s Sihwa.”

“sorry.”

“Whoa…”

Gaju Ha sat down in front of Datak, somehow controlling the rising heat.

As if he couldn’t control his anger, he kicked Hashihwa’s knee and hit Datak again for no reason.

“Ugh…”

Hashihwa, who was kneeling and complaining of pain, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

For the past few months, I’ve felt like I was possessed by something.

After sitting in the manager’s chair in the active room, I started to enjoy the work and was quickly absorbed in it.

He quickly forgot about the sealing and other things, and it was a moment when he realized once again that he was indeed an engineer.

Was it so much fun?

Because I forgot my duty, being treated like this was a blessing in disguise.

In this Cheongdo palace, the family name is like a stigma that sticks with you throughout your life.

Even though you may be away from the nest for a while, the name of being from the Sea of Haka is never lost throughout your life.

If a person betrays his family or runs away at night, he will become a widow and follow that person for the rest of his life.

For a person in public office, that dishonor is fatal. Forsaking the laws of heaven was one of the greatest sins a person could commit.

I was not born as a person of Sealing Hagah because I wanted to, but since I was born as a person of Sealing Hagah, I have to take responsibility for that weight. That’s what a family was like.

Just as my lord, Hyeongwoljang, has been fighting the stigma of being a Hwayongseolga throughout his life, he too must live as a person of the sealing family.

I never felt that it was unreasonable. Because Seonbongha is a human being, there are many things that benefit him.

However, there is a feeling of loss that creeps into my heart from time to time.

Isn’t it strange that I feel a sense of loss even though I haven’t lost anything?

It had been quite a while since such contradictory feelings arose, but Ha Shihwa accepted the feeling as if it were a part of her body and lived with it.

“Well, that’s enough. “I gave you such a big opportunity, but you couldn’t take it, so I guess that’s where your fate ends.”

People who have reached the end of their usefulness are mercilessly thrown away. That was the rule of the sealing Haga.

Of course, as he is a member of the family, he will not sell it somewhere, but he will throw it away without hesitation when a political scapegoat is needed.

That’s what it means to not be in the eyes of the matriarch. It is no different from receiving a terminal sentence.

Hashihwa was relegated to being one of the many outcasts.

It’s natural.

This is because other things took priority over the sealing. It was natural for those who committed crimes to be punished.

“I tried to use you, Sihwa, to recruit Hyeongwoljang, but I have come up with another plan, so I don’t need you anymore. Try to imitate the lieutenant of Hungwoljang for a bit, then go back to studying next month. If you’re going to do it this way, working as a prosecutor and holding a government position will be more helpful in sealing the house in the future.”

“If it’s next month… there are less than 10 days left…”

When Ha Si-hwa said that reflexively, the Ha family head’s eyes twinkled.

Seeing that scene, Ha Shihwa had no choice but to quickly lower his head again.

“I will post the personnel agenda to the party meeting. “Get your affairs in order.”

A scratch on a woman’s face is a great disgrace.

As Hashihwa walked off the floor, wiping away her red, swollen face, Seal Haga’s maids passed by and looked at her in surprise.

Still, they couldn’t ask if it was okay, so the maids just swallowed dry saliva with difficulty, lowered their heads, and walked past.

A gaze with an appropriate mix of curiosity and compassion can greatly reduce a person’s self-esteem.

They will whisper in places like the laundry room or the kitchen. It seems like the woman who was the inspector of the study was beaten up by the Ha family. Even the man who seemed to be going all the way to success for the rest of his life stumbled on a rock and fell.

It can’t be helped that there are rumors going around. Feeling miserable is also inevitable.

As she was walking down the floor, tears welled up for no reason, but what surprised Ha-hwa herself was that the reason she was heartbroken was not because of the sealing Haga’s eyes.

I have to return to my studies in ten days.

You have to leave the active room and start working as an inspector again.

The job of a prosecutor is suitable for one’s aptitude and is not difficult, but there are many things that have to be left behind that keep hanging in one’s mind like a hook and chipping away at one’s heart.

The construction projects of active rooms that have been chipping away for several days and nights, the street preparation projects, and the housing site construction projects where engineers will come in… The results are just around the corner, but they all have to be handed over to others and leave.

– ‘It’s your work.’

The reason why what Hyeongwoljang Seol Tae-pyeong said flew into my heart like a dagger was because he realized that everything he had done as a prosecutor until now was someone else’s work.

As an engineer, I put my name on the line and work day and night to design, draw up a budget, hire people, arrange materials, raise reports, inspect housing sites, prevent accidents, and monitor progress…

The moment you realize that every single moment was a moment to prove your worth, the fact that you have to throw away all your achievements becomes deeply painful.

Nevertheless, the stigma of the family name cannot be erased in this Qingdao country. I am a person from Seal Hagah.

If you bear the disgrace of being the one who killed the family that fed you, raised you, and made you successful, you will not be able to even maintain your current position.

Can not help it.

It’s something that can’t be helped.

‘…I have to prove my worth to the Sealing Haga.’

However, there is only one thing that Haga hopes for in the sealing.

The goal is to find Hyeongwoljang Seol Taepyeong’s weaknesses, seize them, and make it possible for him to wield them.

In the end, Ha Si-hwa was in a position where he had to follow Seol Tae-pyeong.

No matter how much I thought about it… there was no way to reverse that position.

It rained in the ecliptic for a while.

It was only going to get colder in a little while, so it was fortunate that it was raining and not snowing.

If you leave snow alone, it will pile up, but rainwater will be swept away on its own without having to clear it away.

As if announcing the end of late fall, the waves sweeping away the fallen leaves that filled the palace grounds are refreshing. It’s like an eraser that erases seasons.

The long winter was coming, and the active room had to prepare for it.

The schedule was tight because we had to finish all the foundation work before winter came, but it was raining so we couldn’t work. It’s time to rest.

Workers in active rooms are eager to work regardless of whether it rains or snows, but when all kinds of building materials absorb water, they become heavy and lose their shape.

In the end, this rainy week became the last vacation season for the active room.

When the rain stops, the Sangseogwan will come out for an inspection, Ha Si-hwa and Cheong Jin-myeong will fight that they can’t work together, and the engineers from the Jeongseon family will also run amok.

Until then, it is time to curl up and rest for a while.

– Shoot!

– Fighting, fighting.

As I sat on the floor listening to the sound of rain, I felt like I was enjoying some leisure time for the first time in a long time.

It’s been a long time since I watched the raindrops falling from the eaves alone.

When he was young, he was with Seolran, when he was an apprentice samurai, he was with the Baekseon Palace family, and during the latter years of his life, he would look up with him.

Time is meaningless and passes by so quickly… Before I knew it, I felt a sense of incongruity as I was acting as a high-ranking official with the title of Hyeongwoljang.

In fact, since he had achieved success so quickly, it was not easy for him to adapt.

“It’s cold.”

Bicheon, who was examining the paper doors in his house, knelt down behind the floor and said.

After it rained, if you went outside and exhaled, your breath would come out. Winter is coming.

“Okay. Go in and rest. “I’m going to get really busy after this break.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Bicheon bowed his head in greeting, opened the paper door, and entered.

All of the attendants who had been looking after my life at home were put into the activity room development project, so in reality, I was the only person left in this luxurious house.

Bicheon took care of the minimum convenience, but it was still a hassle to have to cook the food and fold the blankets myself.

They say that when a person’s position gets higher, his or her thoughts also adjust accordingly… Why is this such a big deal and bothersome?

I think I lived a much tougher life than this during my time as an apprentice samurai…

It was when I was thinking such foolish thoughts.

-Chabak, chabak.

A human figure was seen in the pattering rain.

At this time, in this weather, in this place.

When I think about it, all the personnel standing guard near my house had been sent away.

Even though it was like this, my body guard had the power to do something, and I thought that if I was doing such a bad thing, someone would send an assassin…

Still, I wondered if they should have left at least a sentry.

Isn’t it a bit odd for someone to suddenly appear in my yard?

With that thought in mind, I narrowed my brows and looked into the yard. The person I was talking with was a familiar person.

“What is it, manager? “It’s been raining for a long time so I decided to take a break. What are you doing here?”

“…”

It was pouring rain like this, and in the middle of the rain, manager Hasihwa appeared soaking wet.

No, you should stay in a corner of the house when it’s raining like this, or at least use an umbrella.

They look like ghosts, walking around in an atmosphere like a woman who has suffered a broken heart.

“…I came here because I have something to tell you, Lord Hyeongwoljang.”

However, looking at Manager Ha who seemed somehow unusual… I had no choice but to shout to Bicheon to bring me something to wipe.

“I think I’ll be leaving the active room sometime next month.”

“…Is that why you’re making such a fuss?”

I told Bicheon to bring a large cotton cloth, wiped off all the moisture from Hasihwa, and placed her on the floor. In that situation, he told Bicheon to bring a bowl of rice.

Bicheon has good sense in these areas. After bringing out the nuts and alcohol, he quickly entered the room.

…He’s a guy who cares about details…

He also has a smooth face, so when he gets older, he will be able to lead a lot of women around…

“I was wondering why he was wandering around in the rain alone for a long time like a tragic heroine…”

“…isn’t it jealousy? In fact, if I, who was in charge of the work, were to leave at this time, there would be a big setback. “I was a little worried about that… my thoughts were becoming complicated.”

“It’s not that, it’s probably because I feel bad about having to throw away the job I raised like my own child and leave.”

When I said that as if poking him, Hashihwa flinched and looked at me for a moment.

It’s a reaction that seems to have hit the nail on the head. Anyway, these kids all have similar ways of thinking.

“Just looking at the work, if you look at it like it’s pretending, it’s like pretending. why? Are you calling me incompetent during the sealing process?”

“That’s not…”

“I wasn’t very subtle in my question. “If you ask someone from Seal Hagah like that, there’s no way they’ll give you an honest answer.”

If you look closely, you can see that Hashihwa’s cheeks are red and swollen with her hair stuck to them.

It looks like it came from somewhere.

My fingertips were shaking, but I pretended not to notice.

Revealing the other person’s wounds often leads to even bigger wounds. I am a person who knows how to distinguish comfort from nonsense.

“That’s not true… I am of the position that I received more during the sealing.”

“okay. “If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”

“I am not making empty assertions. “No matter what anyone says, I am a person from Seal Hagah.”

Let me point out that part clearly.

To survive as a bureaucrat for a long time, you must give trust to the group you belong to.

In a way, it was a natural reaction, as Hagar had lived and adapted countless times within the organizational system of the Sealing Hagar.

“It’s just that… I harbored some disloyal thoughts.”

“Disloyal thoughts?”

“yes. Adjutant Bicheon, Black Moon Captain Cheong Jinmyeong, and even the engineers of the central city… All of those gathered in the active room are free to find their own place, without being tied down somewhere. “When I look at that, there are times when I feel some kind of loss, even though I haven’t lost anything.”

Hashihwa spoke in a hushed voice.
