Rebirth of The Heavenly Demon (Jang Young Hun)

In his room, my mother was waiting for me, too.

“You wanted to see me?”

“Yes, I have something to tell you. ”

My father told me about Song Woo-kyung's visit. The Sanctuary offered to support the invoice and also wanted to create a coalition, so Song Woo-kyung told me that he had come to see his father to discuss the matter.

“You should know, it's the inscription. ”

I could feel my parents' attitude towards me had changed. Now I acknowledge myself as an heir to the Wall Seal.

“The change has begun in the forest. ”

Although my father only told me about the mountain forest, the entire midterm was changing.

I was honestly surprised that my death was known and that the river was moving so fast.

It's because my death has such a big impact.

Anyway, I couldn't make a decision about this. There is no need to be angry about building a coalition in the mountains. I'm the only one who banned it.

However, it was doubtful that Song Woogyeong would be suitable for the head of such a coalition. Once a coalition is formed, everything from that moment on is politics. It was a completely different thing to control a single doorway than to coordinate and unite the different doorways.

I also thought I should take another look at why the Sanctuary offered such an offer. Merchants only move when there is a profit. Particularly, it is a very prudent decision for them to work with the Moorish people.

I'll have to find out.

“Thank you for letting me know. ”

I was going to turn around and leave, but my mother asked me.

“Song Moon-joo stopped by for a while? ”

“Yes. He once again said no to the marriage. ”

He said as if he was embarrassed.

“That guy, too. ”

I still don't hate your face.

My mother smiled brightly and said.

“I mean the same as Song Moon-joo. ”

I understood Mother's heart, so I just came out without saying anything else.

I feel a deeper connection with the two of you.

At first, I thought I should consciously accept them as parents.

But emotions are now naturally ahead of consciousness. You two feel like my real parents. I really want to deal with it.

To be honest, I was glad.

Having such good parents.

I think the deceased Mother will understand. Even for those who have not been good to you.

An unexpected man came to see me this afternoon.

Songhwa Lin came to see me. Her visit was unexpected and the embarrassment appeared on her face.

“You're surprised. ”

“I didn't think you'd come for me. ”

“I'm here for a favor. ”

Her request was unthinkable.

“Convince the doorman to let my father refuse the offer of the Sanctuary. ”

“Do you think my father will change his mind about stopping us? ”

“I don't know. But I'm sure it has a big impact on the decision. ”

It wasn't hard to think that way. Your friendship was special. It is said that when poverty enters the house, false friendships go out the window. They're still in the same room.

“Can I hear why you're trying to stop it? ”

“I don't think building a coalition will work with my father. ”

“Aren't you underestimating your father? ”

“I think it's better than overestimating. ”

I agreed with her. I also had a problem with Song Woogyeong forming a coalition.

But there was a positive side to it. I may say this with my own mouth.

“Didn't the previous oath stabilize Moo-Rim? I don't think it's a bad idea to be the head of the coalition in a peace machine like this. It can also greatly increase the strength of the invoice. ”

“I'm actually worried about it. ”

“What?"

“The Conqueror has been a blind man for far too long, powerfully armed. At least he kept the peace of the river, but in the dark, he raised it. ”

“Raised in the dark? What's that?”

“Compressed Desire. ”

I was flawed by the unthinkable words.

“Kang Hoe is someone who has an instinct to beat the opponent and go up. Born to be violent, savagery. We're wolves and tigers, not rabbits and deer, right? ”

“But?”

“But everyone hid their true nature from the power of blindness. You show your face and I'll smash you to bits. ”

It was a rough and extreme expression, but it touched me.

“They would have wanted the oath dead for a long time. ”

The next thing she said, I felt like I was hit in the head with shit.

I never thought about it. It came as shocking as any word I had ever heard.

Everyone just wanted me dead?

She said it verbally.

“I'm scared. My father jumped into a place where his enduring desire exploded like lava. ”

Now I can see exactly why she was so against it. There was more clear reason than just not to get into ugly, dirty politics.

“Is this why you said you hated dead aphrodisiacs? ”

She shrugs and replies.

“There's a more important reason... but I don't want to do this right now. ”

What could be more important than this?

She said in an uncomfortable tone.

“Please. I'm asking you for the first time, so I want you to listen. ”

I had a dream for a long time.

It was a dream of going back to the past and having a meeting of Muslims.

The leaders of each organization, including the amount of seaweed, sit on an elongated table.

Hard faces. Stiff-necked behavior and clerical tone that doesn't allow mistakes.

It's like you're wearing a white mask without a face.

Yes, it must have been because he was told that the one whose face looked particularly stiff was suppressed desire. Everyone will hear that I only want to die.

Did he really just want me dead?

Suddenly, my thoughts resounded there.

Then the people who were sitting turned their heads together and looked at me.

My eyes are cold.

I had doubts that I had forgotten for a while.

Am I assassinated?

I woke up the next moment.

“Phew.”

This is all I hear from her.

The greed for power is a parasite that feeds on the human body. So I don't even know if it's living in my body. But I do know what terrible things happen when it starts going crazy.

So I pressed it tightly with my bare hands. I ruled iron so that I would not greed for power at all.

I haven't thought about it since I died.

Compressed Desire.

Is it really going to explode?

Or maybe it's already been ejected?

I went to the General that afternoon.

“Tell me about the brokerage council. ”

“Why do you ask? ”

“I have something to ask you about the invoice. ”

He gave me a rough story about Songhai.

The clumsy General narrows his eyes and looks at me. I doubted what else I was going to do wrong, but it was impossible to find such intentions on my bold face.

“Don't you hate me? ”

“You're mistaken. I don't hate you. ”

“Hmph! Don't lie to me. ”

I gave him a pinky cup for no reason, but I didn't hate the fact that I came to ask him something.

The Grand Chamberlain told me about the brothel. Indeed, he did not just age. He explained in detail the Sanctuary and other Chambers of Commerce, based on his profound knowledge.

I asked a lot of questions about the brokerage council, but I couldn't find anything special.

“Has nothing special happened lately? ”

“It was nothing. ”

“I understand. Thank you. ”

He suddenly said that he was about to turn around.

“Oh, I don't know if this is going to help, but I have an idea. ”

“What is it?”

“I had a drink with your chancellor a few months ago. At that moment, I overheard him telling me that he was going to be in business with the Moorish. He didn't tell me where he was. ”

“Have you heard from them since? ”

“I didn't hear that. ”

“Thank you very much. ”

The Grand Chamberlain said bluntly that he didn't need to be embarrassed to have this conversation with me.

“Don't get me wrong for scoring. ”

“Yes, the chancellor still hates me! I'll keep that in mind.”

“Feeling better.”

I turned around and asked one more question.

“Is there a young man who you think is your successor? ”

“Why do you ask? ”

“I'd like to be my personal secretary. ”

“Eek! That's what I thought! ”

If I did, I would not believe it, so I just laughed and left.

I can feel the Minister's gaze behind me. I feel a little softer than before.

After meeting with the General, I went to see my father.

“What's going on? ”

“I just came to have a cup of tea with my father. ”

“Him.”

My father got in the car after he was bitten that he was going to burn.

I drink tea from my father for the first time.

“How's your training going? ”

“Yes.”

If you really set your mind to it and practice the White Moon Sword, you will spread it more subtly than your father. If you have something to show me, I'll only show you half of it.

“Your mother has great expectations of you. Never forget that. ”

I told my mother ahead of me, but my father would have said the same thing.

“Yes, I will try my best. ”

I came to my father because Song Hwa Rin asked me to.

Do I have to do her a favor? She's right. Song Woogyeong will reject the offer if he persuades him strongly.

But is this the right way?

The curiosity that kept on telling me the answer was already there.

I didn't bring up any invoicing.

“The tea tastes great, Father. ”

I came up with another way to present it to her.
