Episode 575

Part 24: Answer

“Big sister, what do you want to do from now on?”

What do you want to do?

The question from the servant girl Yeon-bi was clear, but it was bound to be confusing for the servant girl Yeon-yu-hwa.

“…Are you asking me how I want to live from now on? Or…?”

I understood the cost of the four pillars.

Up until now, she had only been thinking about her older sister who had been enduring each day in hell.

“What would you like to do with Hwangbo Se-ga, big sister?”

Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes grew wide.

“Hwangbo Se-ga…?!”

“and.”

Ignoring her reaction, Sa-gong-ja Yeon-bi continued asking questions.

“Big sister, Yeon Yu-hwa. What kind of life do you want to lead in the future?”

“… Yuhwa.”

The ladies came out of the pavilion.

One of them wrapped her arm around the shoulder of the young princess, Yeon Yu-hwa, and the other held her hand tightly.

“Bia (翡兒) is asking all these questions for you, so don’t think too hard about it.”

“Yes…! Your answer isn’t important right now, but Via gave you, Yuhwa, this question to look back on and think about your life again.”

“Mothers… .”

My heart quickly warmed up at the mothers’ warm words.

“The answer isn’t important.”

“What’s important is that you start thinking for yourself again.”

Little brother.

The mothers’ interpretation of the question of the four children has been around for a long time.

He comforted Yeon Yu-hwa’s frozen heart as she endured the cold hell of the Hwangbo family.

but.

‘Is it really true… as the mothers said…?’

Did Sakongja Yeonbi ask Yeon Yuhwa this question with that intention?

“… … .”

Princess Yeon Yu-hwa looked at Princess Yeon-bi over her mothers’ shoulders.

“… … !”

The sight of the four noble ladies that caught her eye was the complete opposite of the warm and gentle atmosphere of Won Gak Jeong.

His black clothes were tightly wrapped around his slender body like armor in several layers.

At first glance, Yeonbi’s glassy eyes, which had a greenish tint, had an eerie corner that even rejected the gradually setting sun.

The boy’s beauty, which seemed like someone would fall in love with at any moment, was completed with a colder cold than marble and a terrible poison.

‘…okay.’

Yeon Yu-hwa was convinced.

The person over there.

In her memories, it wasn’t Via who only followed her older brother around.

“… … .”

He is the representative of Grand Duke Yeon So-Hyeon, whose fame is known throughout the Central Plains.

Despite his absence.

In this huge family called Luoyang Swordsmanship, they are facing off against countless monsters in the political world.

It was the four-legged race.

“Big sister, what do you want to do from now on?”

His question is.

Just like mothers say.

It may be to give Yeon Yu-hwa an opportunity to look back on her life and think about her future.

It wasn’t a question for the sake of a little help in regaining her lost identity.

“…Do you think you can do it?”

and.

Yeon Yu-hwa’s answer to Sakongja Yeon-bi’s answer gave her strong confidence in her guess.

“I heard from my eldest brother. I heard that since she was young, she has been helping our father, the Supreme House Lord, with his work.”

“It’s not that grand.”

Princess Yeon Yu-hwa shook her head.

“I just helped out with chores and spoke to my father.”

“Is that so?”

A smile appeared on Sakongja Yeonbi’s lips.

“It’s different from what I heard.”

Something.

The mothers, sensing that the atmosphere had changed, moved away from Yeon Yu-hwa and gave her space.

And some men and women could see it.

“As far as I know, before my older brother came in and out of the General Administration Office, I heard that you were the one who had been playing your role well from the beginning.”

“… Even so, compared to what So-Hyeon did later, it was just a drop in the bucket.”

“It is foolish to compare people to the great phoenix.”

“…okay.”

Yeon Yu-hwa smiled more refreshingly.

“That’s true.”

She gradually.

As if I was shedding my skin, I began to feel more relaxed.

“So, what are you trying to say?”

Until a little while ago.

Yeon Yu-hwa, who had been swept away by the newly revealed facts of the past and was shedding tears, was no longer there.

“If it’s the older sister I know and what I’ve heard from my older brother, she can definitely do it.”

“… … .”

There was no immediate reaction from Yeon Yu-hwa when she heard those words.

but-.

‘oh…!’

‘Yu Hwa…!’

Some men and women held their breath in admiration.

In the figure of Yeon Yu-hwa standing alone on the ground, one could not find the image of a woman who had to endure countless wounds.

‘Yu Hwa, Yu Hwa has changed…!’

‘That appearance is exactly like when I was young!’

The conversation between the two women through their eyes did not continue until the end.

“I am.”

It was because Princess Yeon Yu-hwa looked at Princess Yeon-bi and answered.

“I don’t want to run away because of something like divorce.”

The fuel efficiency was immediate.

“There is no need to do that.”

“I am.”

Yeon Yu-hwa’s voice became even more powerful.

“I don’t want to be one-sided and endure this anymore.”

“at all.”

Yeonbi nodded her head vigorously.

“I don’t think my older sister will tolerate anything unilaterally.”

“I am…!”

Yeon Yu-hwa’s voice became clearer.

Is it shedding its shell and growing further?

no.

She was returning to her original form.

“Just once. I don’t want to end it like this, just because I beat up Hwangbo Dusung. I don’t want to leave the Hwangbo Se clan, who used to gossip with that bastard and badmouth me and my family, alone.”

A fire flashed in her eyes.

“… … !”

At that sight, Yeonbi, who had been surprised for a moment, smiled faintly.

It was different from the green light shining from the eyes of the four-legged reaper, and it was also different from the ghostly fire blooming from Yeon So-hyeon’s eyes.

Scarily, in my memory.

This was because they resembled the gaze of their father, Yeongeomun, the best swordsman in the world.

‘indeed…!’

“And above all…!”

Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes were blazing.

How could I have hidden this gaze until now?

How much determination and perseverance did she have to live with?

“I cannot forgive the Empress of the Hwangbo family who encouraged and led such an atmosphere.”

There is no need to endure it any longer.

The mothers are back.

Even the twin sisters Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye, who we had been worried about, are now fulfilling their roles within the family.

The youngest daughter, Nan, returned safely to Yeon So-hyeon’s arms and was returning to her family.

Princess Yeon Seo-rin had become so famous during the Second Northern War that it was difficult to become more famous.

Yeonbi, one of the Four Princes, single-handedly supported the family to the point where no one’s absence was felt.

and.

Above all else.

The name that prevents the Empress of the Hwangbo family from making any rash moves.

The name that moved even the King of Swords, the King of Namgung Sega, who was crowned Emperor without a crown.

The name that even shakes the heads of the sixteen imperial families who reigned as absolute powers in the imperial capital.

‘Sohyun…!’

Than this.

Could there be a more solid name?

“I am.”

The condensation has been going on for many years.

I brought out the words I had repeated countless times in my head.

“I want to have Hwangbo Se-ga.”

She wanted to take everything away from the Empress.

“That is my revenge.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

The two mothers smiled as if it was natural for the Sakongja Yeonbi to look so surprised.

“Okay, then. That will happen.”

“uh…?”

rather.

Yeon Yu-hwa was taken aback by that immediate answer.

“Is this a problem that can be explained so simply…?”

“Of course.”

The four-legged sergeant shrugged his shoulders as if the cost was nothing.

“Eldest sister, at the end of this matter, you will probably be able to become the de facto owner of the Hwangbo family.”

Yeonbi, who had finished speaking so simply, greeted the two ladies.

“I have to go now because I have a lot of work to do. I will visit you again, mothers.”

His attitude was very polite, and the ladies saw him off with bright smiles.

“Yes, come often.”

“Make sure to eat!”

“yes.”

“uh…?”

The tension from just a moment ago evaporated in an instant.

Yeon Yu-hwa was flustered as she looked back and forth between the Sakongja who was quickly walking away without looking back and the mothers who were waving at him.

“Uh, uh…?”

Okay then.

The mothers smiled faintly at her.

“What are you doing? Why don’t you hurry up and follow me?”

“Have a nice day, Yuhwa. We can meet at Wonkakjeong Pavilion anytime.”

“Mothers…!”

Get your hands on Hwangbo Se-ga.

It was Yeon Yu-hwa’s choice, and her mothers gently pushed their daughter’s back.

This time.

Instead of tears reflecting in Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes, a strong will was revealed.

“I’ll be back…!”

“okay!”

“See you later!”

The mothers waved their hands until the end, watching their eldest daughters walk away.

“… … .”

“… … .”

And even when Yeon Yu-hwa’s figure disappeared beyond that, the smiles on their lips remained the same.

“Something….”

“It feels refreshing, haha.”

The two mothers laughed.

“Your Majesty the Supreme.”

The maid of Won Gak Jeong who approached them said.

“As you requested, I have prepared some simple water activities.”

“Oh my…!”

The women were very excited and happy when they were shown small but comfortable boats prepared for water play, fishing rods, and baskets containing refreshments.

“Thanks for raising my sons and daughters well, I am now able to enjoy such luxuries again…!”

“That’s right, haha…!”

Instead of choosing a path that would be free and safe, Yeon Yu-hwa chose a fierce and dangerous path.

But they didn’t let their worries out.

“Whoa…!”

“The big fish bit me…!”

“Pull the fishing rod slowly, Your Majesty…!”

They were wives whose husbands were busy traveling all over the Central Plains during turbulent times.

“Oh my…!”

“It’s a huge fish!”

“T, there was something I definitely had to do at a time like this… ?!”

“Oh right, a rubbing…! I need to take a rubbing!”

“I will prepare immediately.”

Gyaruruk…!

The sound of them laughing brightly like girls without any worries or concerns echoed throughout Won-gak-jeong.

“You asked again…!”

“Ohhh… ?!”

like.

As if they had never experienced any hardship or suffered any pain.

“This size…?!”

“T-is that a shark…?!”

“…It’s just a big carp, Your Majesty.”

The children who will return to this Wonkakjeong.

So that they can feel happy with themselves at all times.

* * *

“Big sister.”

Sagongja Yeonbi spoke to Yeon Yuhwa, who had caught up with him at the entrance to Won Gak Jeong.

“There’s one thing I’d like to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“really….”

for a moment.

Yeonbi, who had been hesitating, asked.

“Is it just revenge? What motivated you to do that, big sister?”

“… … !”

Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes widened for a moment.

Within, it curved gently.

“As expected, your eyes can’t be fooled.”

“…indeed.”

Yeon Yu-hwa smiled brightly like she did when she was a child, and walked forward briskly, looking back at Yeon-bi as she spoke.

“I thought it might be possible.”

“…What do you mean?”

The smile on Yeon Yu-hwa’s lips deepened.

The smile was cool and refreshing without a single shadow, the eyebrows were thick as if showing his determination, and both eyes were shining intensely.

Was her impression always this strong?

At that time, the eldest daughter, who resembled her father so much, was once again inwardly amazed.

“I just watched quietly.”

She said.

“More than that empress, this Yeon Yu-hwa. She could lead the Hwangbo family much better.”

“… … !”

Completely unexpected, but at the same time.

At the answer that suited her appearance so well, Sakongja Yeonbi’s eyes widened.

Yeon Yu-hwa said to him,

“Even if I try to be active in the swordsmanship world, I’ll end up being buried in the shadows of you and Sohyun.”

She winked one eye.

“… That makes perfect sense.”

Sakongja Yeonbi nodded slowly and started walking again.

“More than that, Via!”

Yeon Yu-hwa quickly caught up with him and asked.

“But, was it really okay to answer that simply earlier?”

“Okay, then. That will happen.”

It was to say Yeonbi’s answer that was like that.

“Of course.”

This time too, Sakongja Yeonbi answered nonchalantly.

“Is the opponent that Hwangbo Se-ga?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Even if the empress holds out?”

“Anyone.”

“Why? How?”

Yeonbi answered calmly, looking at the sunset sky.

“When my older brother hears of my older sister’s decision, the future of the Hwangbo family will be decided.”
