Episode 586
Chapter 10
The study was plunged into heavy silence and shock.
“… That Yeonseonhyeon?”
A breath-holding voice leaked out from the mouth of Namgung Bukwi, the head of the Namgung Se family.
“Are you saying that it is at the same level as the best sword in the world…?”
The best sword in the world, Yeongeomun (淵劍?).
The strongest warrior who led the golden age of Luoyang Swordsmanship.
How can you compare the best sword in the world with Yeon So-hyeon, who is not even a seasoned swordsman.
The one who said that was his father.
If he had not been the Sword King of the Uncrowned Emperor, the head of the clan, Namgung Bukwi, would not have even laughed.
“… … .”
Instead of answering, King Namgung Je simply stroked his sword with an incomprehensible expression.
“ha….”
Gaju Namgung Bukwi sighed and sat down on the chair, holding his forehead.
“This is giving me a headache. The existing plans….”
There is no stopping Yeon So-hyeon’s realm from becoming increasingly known.
Right away, rumors began to spread like wildfire that he was the new supreme being.
Because of that.
If this is long, how many variables will arise during the long Yongbongjihoe (Dragon and Phoenix Meeting) period?
And how the plans to block Yeon So-hyeon from becoming the head of the small family will be disrupted and ruined.
It was terrifying just to think about it.
“First of all, we need to revise the goals that our Namgung family must achieve in Luoyang….”
Gaju Namgung Bukwi covered his forehead and muttered to himself.
“… … .”
Namgungje, looking at his son like that, let out a low snort.
His son, who had once put down his sword, is now.
I tried hard to turn a blind eye and just focus on my role as the head of the household.
“… Now that I think about it, father.”
Gaju Namgung Bukwi asked as if he had just remembered something.
“At that place, at the end. What did you talk about with the Empress of the Hwangbo family?”
The two people who were called the Supreme Beings had something to say just before they parted ways.
But since they spoke in a way that went beyond close-range transmission, no one else could know what they were saying.
“It’s nothing.”
King Namgungje shook his head and replied lightly.
“I asked Yeon So-hyeon if what I saw was true, and the old woman simply agreed.”
“… … .”
at all.
It wasn’t a trivial story.
‘Empress Hwangbo Sega also agreed with her father’s opinion regarding Yeon So-hyeon’s realm…!’
The opinions of one supreme being different from those of two supreme beings in terms of the weight of their credibility.
It meant that it was virtually a declaration of confirmation.
“… But then.”
Suddenly.
At the sound of his father’s voice, Namgung Bukwi, the head of the household who had been deep in thought, raised his head.
“That old lady. There was something strange about her…”
“yes?”
“I’m saying there was something strange about the reaction.”
King Namgung Je frowned and spoke about the sense of discomfort he felt.
“At first, the old woman felt a great shock, just like I did. It was a shock mixed with joy and sorrow, one could call it despair, one could call it hope.”
As I confirmed Yeon So-hyeon’s realm, I felt a great sense of despair, and at the same time.
In the midst of endless loneliness and doubt, I felt hope through the existence of a visionary who had gone ahead.
“however….”
King Namgungje of the Sword said as if he was not sure.
“The next moment. What I felt from the old lady’s face was the look of her making up her mind about something.”
“…yes?”
“That old lady… .”
The Sword King’s eyes narrowed.
“There’s something. Be careful.”
* * *
An office with the feet down and the windows blocking out the sunlight.
“… … .”
The one sitting silently, staring into space, was the Empress of the Hwangbo family.
Her gaze followed the trail of golden dust dancing slowly in the sunlight streaming in between her feet.
And then soon.
The corners of her wrinkled mouth opened.
“…What is Doosung’s condition?”
Hwangbo Dusung (皇甫?崧).
It was a question about Yeon Yu-hwa’s husband and her own son.
The closest aide who had been waiting beside her bowed his head and answered.
“… Even without that, I had something to report about it.”
The Empress asked calmly.
“Was the recovery rate unusually fast?”
“… … ?!”
The closest aide, who had been looking surprised, came to his senses and quickly answered.
“Yes, that’s right. But how can you-.”
“hmm.”
The Empress did not allow questions, and her closest aides immediately shut their mouths.
After confirming Yeon So-hyeon’s realm, the Empress’s mood seemed very disturbed, and provoking her was like giving up one’s life.
“‘Take care of’ all those in charge of Doosung’s treatment, and move the child to the secret underground facility.”
The Empress did not want Huang Bodusung’s condition to be known to the outside world.
“… Yes, my lord.”
As soon as her closest aides left the room, the Empress slowly sank deeper into her chair.
“…I should meet them.”
Just as the Sword King said.
It was clearly some kind of determination that was flashing in her eyes in the shadows.
* * *
Luoyang Swordsmanship.
Won-gak-jeong (original garden).
“Are you coming?!”
“Are you coming?!”
The two girls raised their heads like rabbits perking up their ears.
The maid of Won Gak Jeong nodded, letting out a small laugh at the cute sight.
“Yes, I heard they are coming to Wonkakjeong now.”
With screams of joy filled with “Kyaaaaaaaah!”, the two twin girls ran out into the open air.
“Ahh?!”
“I decorated it so nicely, but… ?!”
The twins didn’t care whether the maids sighed or not behind them.
“mother!”
“Mothers!”
Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye.
The three princesses and four princesses of the Luoyang Sword Family opened the inner quarters door as if they were going to break it down and shouted.
“They are coming now!”
“They are coming now!”
At those words, the two women who were enjoying their afternoon tea peacefully in the inner quarters looked surprised.
“oh…?!”
“Right now…?!”
Ilbongin, the mother of the first princess Yeon Yuhwa, and Lady Lee, the mother of the second princess Yeon Seorin.
“Now is not the time to enjoy tea…!”
“Okay, mothers, let’s go quickly…!”
Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye treat each other as if they were their own mothers.
He took each of the two women’s hands without hesitation and led them away.
“Oh my, oh my…!”
“I thought you would definitely stop by the General Administration Building first and return to Wonkakjeong at night…!”
The two ladies were embarrassed, but they couldn’t help but smile at the good news.
“Oh?! Oh, come to think of it!”
The princess Yeon Da-hye shouted.
“What about your first sister?!”
“oh?!”
The third princess, Yeon Da-eun, stomped her feet as if something big had happened.
“I left early in the morning with that guy named Via and haven’t come back yet!”
Both girls shouted at the same time.
“This is a big deal…!”
“This is a big deal…!”
at that time.
A sigh was heard in their ears.
“… Haa, sisters.”
It was Sagongja Yeonbi who had just heard the news and arrived at Wonkakjeong.
“Please, behave in a manner befitting the status of a princess of the Luoyang Sword Family-.”
“come!”
“Here we go!”
Yeon Da-eun and Yeon Da-hye pretended not to hear and flew over to attack Sakongja Yeon-bi.
“Capture Via!”
“Capture complete!”
Yeonbi, who was held captive by them and lifted up, cried out in surprise.
“Who, ladies?! What are you doing-?!”
They carried him and ran without caring whether Yeonbi struggled or not.
“Now, you should decorate it too…!”
“It’s nonsense to try to greet someone when they’re so exhausted from chronic fatigue…!”
“Ku, you’re decorating?!”
Yeonbi’s face hardened.
“S, really…?!”
Suddenly, a nightmare about cross-dressing from the past flashed through his brilliant mind.
“Kyaaaaah…?! No…! Sisters, that one thing…?!”
Yeonbi was dragged far away, struggling and screaming, but no one helped him and everyone just laughed.
“Oh my, oh my…!”
rather.
The two ladies’ eyes sparkled.
“I should call a chemical engineer and leave a record…!”
“Ah! By the way, among the maids at Won Gak Jeong, there was a girl who was very good at drawing…!”
The sight of the feared Sagongja Yeonbi being helplessly defeated by her older sisters was a rare sight that could only be seen in Won-gak-jeong.
The only place where Yeonbi, who is always counting down the days, can disarm and relax is right here.
That was why it was this Won-gak-jeong.
“…mothers.”
In the meantime, a woman named Yeon Yu-hwa approached them and greeted them elegantly.
“I’m back.”
Still, Yeon Yu-hwa’s greeting felt somewhat distant.
“… Hmm.”
“… Hmm.”
The two ladies exchanged glances, then he simultaneously hugged her tightly.
“Huh, mothers?!”
The two ladies warmly welcomed her, embracing Yeon Yu-hwa.
“Welcome back safely.”
“Our daughter, you worked hard today.”
Did they think it would be politically advantageous to keep the oil painting inside the sword?
The Empress of the Hwangbo family did not call her, and Yeon Yu-hwa was regaining her senses by going around with Sagongja Yeon Bi for two days.
“Mothers… .”
The two ladies linked arms with Yeon Yu-hwa on either side and walked together toward the entrance of Won Gak-jeong.
“Then, is Serin coming back with you too?”
It was Ilbon who first asked about the second princess, Yeon Seo-rin.
It was a considerate action towards his wife, who might be curious about news about her daughter.
“Oh, yes.”
Feeling that warm heart, Yeon Yu-hwa nodded with a smile.
“Not only Serin, but I heard that the youngest, Nan, is also joining.”
“oh…!”
The two ladies jumped for joy with bright faces.
“The difficulty is coming back?! Oh my, what should I do with this!”
“I can’t believe how long it’s been since our family has gathered together like this…!”
Ah, Yeon Yu-hwa realized.
That’s right.
After those harsh times that came after my father collapsed.
This was virtually the first time so many families had gathered together in one place.
“How’s the food preparation going?”
“We are preparing thoroughly in the kitchen, ladies…!”
“What about the kids? Tell them to gather before it’s too late!”
“Yes, I understand…!”
The maids of Won Gak Jeong who are always calm, and the two ladies who are usually very easygoing.
At this moment, he didn’t even bother to hide his excitement, but shared his excitement and joy.
“I heard you just entered the main road!”
As the latest news spread, the peaceful Wonkakjeong became even more excited.
“Sisters?! Put this down!”
“Oh my…!”
“Hohoho…!”
Everyone burst into laughter at the cute appearance of Sa-gong-ja Yeon-bi, who was caught by her two older sisters.
“Now, you guys come here too!”
“Now you guys need to get dressed properly…!”
The two wives would catch the twin sisters and nag them while fixing their clothes.
“Sister, it’s not too late…. To protect my honor, please kill me now….”
“You look good together, but why are you dead? Oh my, now our Via. You can get married~.”
“Kwaaaaak…!”
While the princess Yeon Yu-hwa teases the princess Yeon-bi, the princess of Sagongja.
They do.
The moment he arrived, he engraved precious and dazzling memories into one corner of my heart.
And then soon.
“Here you come…!”
The main gate of Won-gak-jeong opened wide, and a huge carriage pulled by two spirits appeared.
Ummmmmm…!
Are the two spirits happy to be back home?
Yellow and Black cried out loud to the people who welcomed them.
Squeak!
The iron fortress stopped, the door opened, and the first one to jump out was the youngest of the family.
It was the Five Princesses Rebellion.
“Mothers…! Sisters…! Ah, the eldest sister…!”
She ran towards those who came out to greet her with a bright expression that seemed to have everything in the world.
“Fourth brother…, you?”
It stopped.
“… Ahem.”
Sakongja Yeonbi coughed with a red face and grabbed the weight.
“Are you back? You must have had a hard time in a foreign land.”
But, if you try to weigh yourself while dressed as a woman, how much weight will you be able to weigh?
Princess Nan couldn’t hide her puzzled expression as she circled around Yeonbi.
“Could it be that my memory is faulty…? Wasn’t it the fourth eldest sister, or the older sister…?”
“Ugh…!”
At that time, Yeon-bi coughed up blood at the words of an innocent girl without any malice.
“Eww…!”
Then, with a shout almost like a cheer, a large silhouette appeared from the carriage.
“We’ve finally arrived…! Liquor! Bring me liquor right now! The strongest one, whole!”
It was Princess Yeon Seo-rin.
Everyone burst into laughter at her honest appearance, which was completely incongruous with her nickname, “Heavenly Clothes Without Stitches.”
“Do you notice alcohol before your mother?”
Yeon Seo-rin’s eyes widened at the sharp voice of the second wife that cut through the laughter.
“mother…?!”
“Yeah, it’s your mother-, Whew?!”
She ran to her mother and hugged her in a flash.
“Mother, my gosh…!”
“Gyaaaah…!”
Yeon Seo-rin hugged her mother and spun around with a shout of joy.
And she hugged her mother tightly and shouted towards the carriage.
“Thank you, Sohyun…! Thank you so much…!”
At those words, everyone stopped chattering and looked at the carriage.
Rattling.
The maidservant Jeong-ah got off the carriage first and waited in an elegant manner, and the maids of Won-gak-jeong, who had been lined up, all knelt on one knee.
“… … .”
And Yeon So-hyeon appeared under the sunlight.
His deep eyes reflected the images of his family looking at him together.
“Big brother…!”
The third princess, Yeon Da-eun, and the fourth princess, Yeon Da-hye, looked like they would burst into tears of joy at any moment.
“Big brother…!”
Sakongja Yeonbi looked at him with a bright, unwrinkled face, forgetting even her own appearance.
“Sohyun…!”
Princess Yeon Yu-hwa held Princess Nan tightly in her arms, and was delighted to see that he had grown tall and handsome, unlike her memories.
and.
He opened his mouth, smiling gently at the two mothers who welcomed him.
“I’m back, mothers.”
that.
How long ago did Yeon So-hyeon, who had been living alone in Won-gak-jeong for such a long time, finally say these words?
The two ladies answered him with wide-eyed smiles.
“Welcome…!”
“Welcome, Sohyun…!”
That day.
The autumn sunlight shining down on Won-gak-jeong was simply warm.

Return, end.
