Chapter 22: The Reward of Patience

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaahh …

“Big sistereeeeeeeeee-!”

The moment Yeon Yu-hwa got off the armored carriage and stepped onto the pavement in the square.

Two girls ran up to her and hugged her.

“Oh my, oh my… ?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa looked down at the girls with her eyes widened.

“You guys…?! Da-eun and Da-hye? Really?”

“yes yes!”

“That’s right, we are!”

Even though she had an expression of disbelief, she continued to hug and caress the three princesses, Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye.

“How I wanted to see you…!”

“Why did you come only now…!”

Tears were already welling up in the twin sisters’ eyes.

“Already, you guys have grown so much…! You’ve grown so much…!”

Once again.

Tears welled up in Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes as she realized how long her absence had been.

“I’m sorry… guys. I’m sorry… .”

She hugged the children tightly with trembling hands.

The warmth and cuddly behavior that comes from the small, delicate twin sisters is more important than anything else.

It made me feel vividly that I had returned to my parents’ home.

“Don’t be sorry, big sister!”

“That’s right! Don’t be sorry, Big Sister!”

They said, pulling her out of Yeon Yu-hwa’s embrace and grabbing her hand.

“Oh, by the way!”

“Let me introduce you to the work we’re doing these days!”

“work…?”

A look of bewilderment appeared on Yeon Yu-hwa’s face.

“What kind of work do you do? No, more than that, you… .”

Yeon Yu-hwa trailed off as she tried to ask her sisters a question.

Twin sisters.

Lady Ha, the queen consort who gave birth to Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye, died a suspicious death.

After that, the twin sisters came under the protection of Oh Geum-ran (吳錦?), the head of the business support team.

But even so,

Yeon Yu-hwa knew that it would be bad for her twin sisters to meddle in such important family matters that they could even call it work.

‘This is difficult… .’

It was difficult to say that directly to these innocent twin sisters.

‘What about Via?’

She followed the figure of Yeonbi, one of the Four Princes who had arrived with her.

“… So the Hwangbo family… .”

“… and according to follow-up intelligence… .”

He was having a serious conversation with some people who seemed to be in important positions in the family on one side.

Even to Yeon Yu-hwa, who had been away from the family for a long time, they were at least the elders of the sword family or people of similar status.

Oh, they were just waiting in the square for the arrival of the private convoy.

‘Obviously, I said I was acting as Sohyun’s agent…’

Suddenly, anew.

Memories of the time when he left this family came flooding back.

* * *

“One princess… !”

The first thing that came to mind was the image of the elders of the emergency response meeting scolding me with stern expressions.

“You are not the Grand Princess of this family, you are the First Princess!”

“Don’t you dare try to presume on the subject!”

The best sword in the world.

At that time, Yeongeomun (淵劍?), the head of the Luoyang Sword Family, had fallen and the family was thrown into great chaos.

“but…!”

She is a princess, not a grand princess.

The meaning was clear.

Yeon Yu-hwa’s pure intention to help resolve the family’s turmoil was dismissed as mere impure intentions.

“stop…!”

“Don’t you know that if you, Princess Il-gong, move now and the axis of power begins to shake, things will get worse here?!”

“You shouldn’t act rashly during this sensitive time, and just quietly marry into the Hwangbo family as promised…!”

Just like that.

I’ve never felt unfamiliar with the ‘high-ranking people’ in my family.

“Then, what about Sohyun?! What happened to Sohyun?!”

“He has abandoned his role as Archduke.”

“Huh?! There’s no way that kid would do that?!”

“If you continue to interfere with our work like this, I will detain you, you workaholic…!”

“… … ?!”

father.

In a family where the Taesang family had disappeared, Yeon Yu-hwa even felt fear from them.

Most of the people who always smiled at me and treated me kindly changed their expressions.

and.

“I’m sorry, Miss… .”

Even those who truly cared for her expressed their discomfort.

“I guess… our thoughts are the same as theirs.”

“I think that Princess Il-gong-nyeo’s biggest role is to go to Hwangbo-se-ga as planned.”

“In such turbulent times, a marriage alliance with a powerful family like the Hwangbo family is essential.”

I wanted to protect my younger siblings.

“Your Majesty, it would be best for you not to worry too much about the safety of your ladies.”

“If the princess steps forward, it will have the opposite effect.”

“Please trust us and leave it to us.”

She didn’t back down.

“Mother…?! Where is Mother…?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa found her mother.

but.

“Mrs. Il and Mrs. Lee are currently under top secret protection.”

Some people and others were the mothers of Princess Yeon Yu-hwa and Princess Yeon Seo-rin.

She asked to meet them, but even that was impossible.

“Until the culprit is caught, it is impossible to see anyone for safety reasons. Naturally, I cannot tell you the location either.”

“Isn’t this, in fact, confinement?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa shouted as if spitting blood.

“The mothers of the second and third princes are running around like that?!”

Absolutely.

Those two wicked women who were already vying for the succession position must have imprisoned the mothers of the first and second daughters, who might have been a hindrance to their plans.

She thought so.

“Neither I nor Serin are interested in the head of the household…! The two mothers are the same…!”

So, the emulsification is even.

I even went to the Supreme Executive Council, which was established later, with great difficulty to appeal.

“Don’t you know that you are people who have kept your distance from the power of your family your whole life…?!”

but.

The reality was different.

“… something.”

“I think there is a misunderstanding.”

The voice of the top management answered thus:

“This action was personally requested by the two ladies.”

“… … ?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa realized this through letters left behind by her mothers.

‘Please be patient.’

Two mothers.

In order to avoid a civil war that could start ‘at any moment’ among the women, a secret agreement was made.

He chose to be imprisoned himself.

It was the best course of action for them, who had no interest in power and in fact had no power.

and.

Also, condensation.

“It is said that negative talk about marriage is gradually spreading within Hwangbo Se.”

“In the current state of affairs of the family, the departure of the provisional alliance would be a great crisis.”

She responded to the CEO’s remarks:

“…All right.”

I had to answer.

“As long as this marriage alliance is maintained, you must take responsibility for the safety of the mothers.”

“…I promise.”

“In the name of the Executive Council.”

She too, like her mothers.

I had no choice but to choose patience.

* * *

‘It used to be like that…’

When Yeon Yu-hwa said something to the people who looked like elders, Sagongja Yeon-bi could be seen repeatedly lowering their heads and struggling.

Not Yeon Yu-hwa herself.

Their superior-subordinate relationship is clear to anyone who sees it.

“Big sister.”

“uh…?”

Yeon Yu-hwa was momentarily taken aback by the twin sisters’ calm voices.

“We know what you’re worried about.”

“But, you don’t have to worry anymore.”

She realized.

During the long years that Yeonyuhwa was away.

It wasn’t just the twin sisters’ height that grew so much.

“Okay…! Let’s go, big sister!”

“We’ll show you!”

With the twin sisters holding onto her hands with such force, Yeon Yu-hwa had no choice but to follow them.

* * *

“Where is this…?!”

In front of the huge pavilion.

Yeon Yu-hwa was so surprised that she stopped walking without realizing it.

“Hmm huh huh…!”

“Hmm huh huh…!”

The twins shrugged their shoulders and raised their noses as if they knew Yeon Yu-hwa would be surprised.

“Yes, that’s right!”

“This is the General Administration Office, the administrative heart of our Luoyang Sword Family!”

Yeon Yu-hwa asked in bewilderment at the sight of the huge pavilions lined up so long that she couldn’t see them all at once.

“Hey, wasn’t this place closed after my father collapsed?!”

She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“The Chief Executive Officer was clearly in charge of the administration of the family, with the Emergency Response Committee and the Supreme Executive Committee following it temporarily closed… ?!”

A situation in which the head of household is absent.

The Executive Committee, due to its unique and strict rules and nature, could not conduct business in a public place.

so.

The General Administration Building, which had no owner, was closed down.

“Hoo hoo…!”

“Are you surprised?”

Unlike the memory of Yeon Yu-hwa.

Countless people were busily moving in and out of the General Administration Building.

“We will start working from this hallway to the end of that hallway!”

From maids and servants walking around in groups carrying cleaning tools.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

Through the lower-level scribes who ran through the crowds, carrying an armful of documents, as if they were messengers.

“What if things still aren’t going well?!”

“That, that…!”

All of them, including those who appeared to be elders, were walking busily with the personnel of the General Administration.

“iced coffee….”

Just like when my father was here.

no.

Perhaps even more vivid and busy than when my father stood tall.

The general manager was on the move.

“How do I…?”

“Hoo hoo hoo…!”

The twin sisters, Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye, spoke to Yeon Yu-hwa in high spirits.

“This is all what Bia (翡兒) accomplished while her older brother was away!”

“Via…?!”

“Yes, that’s right!”

Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye were so excited that they grabbed her hand and dragged her into the administrative office, bragging about everything.

“Right then, when my eldest brother had won the Second Northern War and the three princes had been pushed out of the line of succession, the family was in chaos!”

“That guy Via and the elders of the Big Brother faction opened the General Administration Building again by surprise!”

That’s possible.

Are you saying that Via and Sohyun’s power has grown that much within the family?

Emergency Response Meeting – To the extent of reopening the General Administration Building that the Executive Council had closed?

“… … .”

moment.

The image she had just seen came to mind in Yeon Yu-hwa’s dazed mind.

“Agent…!”

“Your Majesty…!”

The many powerful men of the sword waiting for the Sagongja Yeonbi in the square.

As that image came to mind, the appearances that the Empress of the Hwangbo family had shown me became even more understandable.

Not only were the Duke of Sagong Yeonbi and the Grand Duke of Yeonsohyun recognized as strong successors to the Luoyang Sword Family outside of the country.

They are now.

Even within the power structure within the Sword Masters, which was no different from this Manmajeon (temple of ten thousand demons).

Standing tall among the most powerful figures in power.

“Then, the top management council…?! They approved the reopening of the General Administration Building…?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa, who experienced that time, also knew well how strict and thorough the people in the top management council were.

“Hmm huh huh…!”

“Now, look here!”

“… … !”

Yeon Yu-hwa couldn’t help but be surprised again when she saw where her twin sisters were pointing.

“The Executive Office of the Supreme Council…!”

Obviously.

The administrative department directly under the top management, which was operated separately and externally, was established.

He was nesting in the administrative office and was working with the administrative office’s scribes and assistants to carry out his duties.

“Ta-da!”

“That guy Via managed to convince the top management!”

“In fact, it is almost certain that the eldest brother will become the head of the small household!”

The twins bragged about each other, competing with each other.

“To minimize the administrative difficulties that may arise later and to ensure a smooth transfer of power-!”

“And to make it clear to everyone that the Executive Council has no greed for the power they currently have-!”

“I convinced them that it was a necessary procedure!”

“ah…!”

Yeon Yu-hwa was amazed, surprised, and amazed again.

The Luoyang Sword Family has not yet completely escaped the storm of the family’s absence.

But the current swordsman was moving forward even in the midst of the storm.

Even.

Even in a situation where the most important focal point, Yeonseonhyeon, was moved to the north, to the imperial capital, and to the outside.

The sword is drawn again.

was moving forward.

“Hoo hoo hoo…!”

“It’s still too early to be surprised…!”

The twin sisters managed to pull Yeon Yu-hwa and bring her into the executive office of the Supreme Council.

“Hey, guys?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa said in embarrassment.

“The executive office of the Supreme Council must never be entered without permission!”

Her words were not continued.

“Welcome, Your Majesty!”

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Work is piling up!”

“… … !”

Yeon Yu-hwa was surprised by the loud voices of the writers, but the biggest shock went to Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye.

“great!”

“Bring me the urgent documents right away!”

The twin sisters sat in what appeared to be the highest seats and began stamping their approval seals.

“What, what is going on…?!”

The twin sisters smiled and said, “Eumhuhu,” towards Yeon Yu-hwa, who was so surprised that she was even stammering.

“We are-!”

“It is a link between the Executive Office of the Supreme Council and the General Manager, and at the same time-!”

“I became the person in charge of business connections!”

“…Uh, how?!”

The twins instead of explaining.

He handed her a document.

“So, because of that-.”

“We could do this too.”

“… What is this?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear as she checked the contents of the document that was tightly sealed in several layers.

Then, the twins’ soft voices came into her ears.

“Go to the Won-gak-jeong (original garden) of the eldest brother.”

“Because they are waiting for their older sister there.”
