Chapter 242
Episode 242 When is this not an opportunity??
Grand Duke Geommuyang stood alone at the edge of the cliff of Daecheon Mountain..
The Cheonmashinyo Church buildings looked small in the distance..
Geommuyang held out his hand. If you hold it like this, you can get it with one hand..
He opened the empty fist he had clenched in the air again and remembered what Geommugeuk had said before..
―There is no coexistence between brothers in a power struggle? They end up killing each other? Who decided? Why should we be swayed by the precedents and suspicions of idiots who can't even control their desires? So don’t even dream of being swayed. If you feel anxious, like I'm going to kill you, come visit me..
Then, even if I did visit, I would have had to visit ten times. I've been having frequent nightmares lately. Every time in my dreams, Geommugeuk kills himself while laughing..
―My brother is so naive. Did you believe everything I said? Well, I guess this is what happens. Did you think you could share power? And the greatest power in Moorim? I'm thankful that you're so naive. It's so pathetic, so pathetic.
Then I wake up cursing at him. Despite all the criticism, he is the one who loses every time. And Geommuyang knows. Those words spoken by Geommugeuk are ultimately his own thoughts..
Geommuyang has also been busy these days..
Handle school work and meet people in various positions. I went to take care of some external work. I was doing many things while saving up time for sleeping..
But I couldn't keep up with Geommugeuk's unstoppable moves..
When you open your eyes, you become a disciple of a demon, when you open your eyes, you are wandering around in the forest looking for poisonous insects, and when you open your eyes, you are excommunicated from the evil soma. When I open my eyes again…….
Because he was a person who couldn't bark at the training ground, and couldn't run until he was about to die while carrying the evil Soma on his back..
Wow!
It felt like the people's enthusiasm for the sword dance was ringing in my ears. I didn't want to be a narrow-minded and mean person, but it's hard to hold back this crazy jealousy..
Just when I felt like screaming, Mabul arrived there. Despite his short stature, his golden brilliance was still there..
“Did you call me??”
“Welcome.”
Mabul stood on the cliff side by side with him..
“Extreme Soma has awakened.”
“I heard it too.”
Geommuyang’s voice was dry. Mabul could tell. That he is not in a good mood. Of course it can't be good because the mazons are turning to Geomugeuk one by one..
Mabul understood Geommuyang’s feelings better than anyone else..
“Quan Ma still supports the Archduke..”
The corner of Geommuyang’s mouth curled up slightly..
“The disciple is a non-pole.”
He judged that Gwonma's support would not last long..
“Gwonma is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. I will not tamper with the words I said..”
Mabul quickly added,.
“The King of Poison will also support Confucius..”
“Barking in the gym with Mugeuk?”
“So Gongja Lee became further distant from his successor. The person who would become the Heavenly Demon should not have done that..”
“Are you aware that Mugeuk’s popularity on campus has increased since that day??”
“What is important is the will of the religious leader rather than popularity. The Archduke is the eldest son of the religious leader, and from a young age, he believed that he would be the successor..”
Mabul tried to give him strength, but Geommu Yang asked in a weak voice..
“These days, when I see myself and Mabul, I think of that. Defeatists and groundless optimists. isn't it?”
“Who is a defeatist??”
Geommuyang’s expression frowned slightly at Mabul’s question..
I don't know if Geommuyang knows. Mabul was so frustrated and disappointed so many times in her relationship with him that she almost fell into defeatism. I made up my mind several times to get this far..
Mabul asked calmly..
“I've never been optimistic, but even if I were, why do you think it's unfounded??”
“Then do you believe that I can be your successor??”
Mabul stared into Geommuyang’s eyes and answered firmly..
“I believe.”
“So that's the problem. Because your judgment of the situation is so dark. While we were stagnant and rotting, Mugeuk burst like a waterfall and flowed into the sea..”
“No matter how talented a scientist is, we only need to do one thing well..”
“what is that?”
Mabul raised his voice and shouted like people shout from the top of a mountain..
“An archduke is more suitable for the position of a religious leader.!”
His cry echoed several times..
When the echo disappeared, Mabul said:.
“All you have to do is convince everyone of that. There is no need to be offended or angry that Lee Gongja took the hearts of the Magons. The Archduke only needs to do that..”
Miss Geommu expressed her anger in a somewhat accented tone..
“How frustrating! Mabul, do you really think I am better suited for the position of leader??”
Mabul said confidently.
“Yes, it suits you better.”
“This is why it is an unfounded confidence. Mabul was not chosen by Mugeuk, so he had no choice but to remain with me.?”
Geommuyang said without filtering words that should never have been said, words that would greatly hurt Mabul..
Unexpectedly, Mabul was not that offended. Because those words sounded like a scream.
Until now, Geommuyang had treated herself while hiding her true feelings. It made me wonder what he was thinking now. But now I'm screaming that it's hard.
“That statement is completely baseless..”
When Mabul answered calmly, Geommuyang took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom..
“Do you know what's in it??”
“what did you hear?”
“It's intangible and terrible..”
Mabul was surprised to hear the words ‘intangible hell’..
“Are you saying you are going to kill Mr. Lee with that??”
Then Geommuyang answered without hesitation..
“There's nothing I can't kill.”
Mabul stared at him and asked.
“So why bring it up here? He asked me to have a drink with Lee Gongja, so give him a drink! kill it!”
After pushing him so hard, Mabul sincerely tried to calm him down..
“Don't you know you shouldn't do that? Duke Li declared that he would fight for succession without bloodshed, but if Duke Li was poisoned, no one would follow the Grand Duke. The mazons and the demons below them..”
Geommuyang said, looking down at the medicine bottle..
“so… … I'm thinking about writing it to myself..”
match!
Geommuyang’s head turned..
Mabul jumped up and hit him mercilessly on the cheek..
Surprised, Geommuyang looked at him. I was so surprised because I had no idea that Mabul would touch my body..
Mabul held out his hand..
“Please.”
A cold energy was radiating from Mabul's body along with a golden glow..
It was my first time seeing Geommuyang. Seeing Mabul get angry like this in front of him?.
“Please!”
Because of his strength, Geommuyang gave him a vial of medicine..
Mabul opened the cap and poured it right down to the bottom of the cliff. And I threw the bottle too..
The two were silent for a long time..
“I got hit for the first time.”
“This is my first time hitting a religious leader..”
I thought the proud Geommuyang would go crazy, but unexpectedly he was calm. If you had hit him when he said he was going to kill Geommugeuk, he might have exploded..
“It's a poison I bought at a high price, but it's a waste..”
“What's a waste is the time I spent thinking in vain like that..”
The corner of Geommuyang’s mouth, which had been curled up the whole time, returned to its original position. Geommuyang sat down. I've been talking while looking down at Mabul, but now we're at eye level..
“Prince, take a look at the sky..”
Mabul looked up at the sky..
Geommuyang’s gaze, which was looking at the Heavenly Demon Church in the distance, also turned towards the sky..
Originally, Mabul was not this kind of person. Geommuyang felt it. Both he and Mabul have changed a lot. Everyone is changing as they become entangled with sword dance..
“You must overcome your anxiety to become a successor. If Prince Lee blows like a typhoon, Prince Duke should be like a rock. Be a strong rock even in the typhoon.”
Geommuyang’s eyes wavered. Mabul, this guy is serious..
The last remaining mazon.
Come to think of it, Mabul was there from the beginning..
It was Mazon who stayed from the beginning to the end..
“I am not a rock, I am just a pebble rolling around in a typhoon. Even seniors can go to Mugeuk! Mugeuk will understand the heart of the elderly more. He will speak better than me and be more considerate..”
“So I don't like it. That's my role, so why do I do it? As an older person, I need to be considerate and understand. Just as I am now trying to understand the Archduke..”
Geommuyang was in tears..
I said this to Geommugeuk the last time we met..
―If you think that the Mazons are laughing in front of you, you are very mistaken. They will eventually make a choice at the last moment that is in their best interest..
I've been living with this mindset until now..
“why did you choose me?”
The wind that blew shook the hem of the two people’s clothes..
“I think I like an archer better than a scientist..”
Mabul smiled and said it as if it were a joke, but Geommuyang did not laugh..
When your life was pushed to the edge of a cliff, there was someone protecting you in front of that cliff..
Mabul, who was only half the height of an adult, was blocking his path like a giant..
“Then I will go down first..”
Mabul said goodbye and turned around..
“Mr. Mabul.”
“yes?”
“Actually, the drug I mentioned earlier was not an intangible poison. This is a treatment for internal injuries created by a magician. I had no intention of drinking it..”
“I know.”
Geommuyang was surprised..
“I knew it?”
Mabul took out the same medicine bottle from his arms..
“Because I have it too.”
“Did you hit me knowingly??”
Mabul smiled awkwardly..
“If not for an opportunity like this, when would you try to hit the Archduke??”
Without waiting for an answer, Mabul quickly turned around and went down the mountain..
Looking at that scene, Geommuyang ended up laughing awkwardly..
Geommuyang also stood up. He looked up at the sky instead of the Heavenly Demon Church visible in the distance..
“……If we continue like this, we will end up losing..”
I may have already lost.
Still, I can't just lose. I thought I had to do my best until the end..
For some reason, I felt like I wouldn't have any nightmares like today..
* * *
“I want to keep bothering you?”
Hyeolcheondoma, who was reading a book, raised his head and looked at me..
I was walking back and forth between Hyeolcheondoma's room..
“I have important concerns.”
“So, why are you worrying about such important matters here?.”
“Maybe because there are a lot of books here, I feel smarter..”
“Then, go into the Heavenly Demon’s Pavilion and think about it. Because I will become the smartest person in the world.”
“There are no old people there.?”
I quietly approached Hyeolcheon Doma..
“What do you do when you are in a crisis and the only person you think of is the elderly??”
“Isn’t there a masker you like? I'm in a relationship where I'll give up the perennial snow ginseng as well. go there and find out.”
I held back my laughter..
This little guy gets uncharacteristically jealous from time to time. In particular, it was Hyecheondoma who was very jealous of Soma..
“Who would you compare to our elders? Soma, tell him to just stare at the wall over there in Akin Valley..”
“That's probably not it. You're not going to disturb me so I can have a good time with the woman I'm with..”
“You all know that Cheonhwaruju came..”
“Even if you don’t want to know, all kinds of reports come in all day long..”
Hyeolcheondoma read a book.
“So, whether it's Operation Golden or something, go talk to the masker or the drunkard..”
I sat on the floor next to the window seat where Hyeolcheondoma was reading a book..
“The name of the operation was grandiose, but no detailed plan was made. Since you've read so many books, shouldn't there be a method in it??”
“Boy, the book is a place where you come to rest and avoid those ridiculous strategies. Find the answer there.”
“great. I'll stay here until I find the answer.!”
“Whoever wants!”
The moment I threw myself onto the bed, an invisible force pushed me away..
“Do not lie down in bed wearing the clothes you used to wear outside.!”
Hyeolcheondoma took me to the door through empty space..
I leaned against the window next to the door and thought about it..
“What are you worried about??”
“This operation is difficult because it is not about blindly making Mabul my own person..”
“Why can't it be just four people??”
There's no way the blood-cheon-doma doesn't know the reason.?
“That's because if you take Mabul away, you'll be putting your brother in too much of a corner..”
So I was worried that my brother would do something he shouldn't have done..
But Hyeolcheondoma was looking at this situation from a different perspective than me..
“Is that really so??”
“Isn't it??”
After a moment, Hyeolcheondoma said:.
“If even Mabul turns around, wouldn't the Archduke also give up cleanly? I thought the Archduke was that kind of person..”
“!”
I guess I trusted my brother more than Hyeolcheon Doma. It may be because of something that tormented me when I was young. I had a preconceived notion that if I was pushed into a corner, I would end up doing something mean and mean..
However, there is also a relationship with my brother and the Magons that is separate from me. To the Magons, the older brother is the person who steps down when they step down..
“We must give the Archduke a chance to properly admit defeat. The things you worry about now will explode when you still have regrets..”
Hyeolcheondoma, who had been talking while looking down at his book, raised his head and looked at me..
“When you step on it, you step on it clearly. Even for the Archduke.”
I looked at the Hyeolcheon Doma in silence..
“Why are you looking at me like that??”
“I always say this, but I wonder how I would live without my elders..”
“I always say this, but I will live well by sharing the mask with the masked man..”
“You are persistent..”
“Okay, don't worry about this side's grudges. Why are you worried about their relationships? cheekily.”
I bowed my head respectfully to Hyeolcheon Doma..
“thank you Thanks I found the answer.”
What Hyeolcheondoma said is right..
Only when I fight against him with all my might will he finally smile and admit defeat..
Clumsy consideration will only hurt your brother's pride. I definitely make Mabul my person. Rather, when that happens, the relationship between my brother and Mabul will also reach a new point..
After leaving Thomas's residence, I walked straight toward Mabul's residence, which was crowded with monks..
