Chapter 410
Episode 410: We need to look back more often.
Geommugeuk and Han Seol, who returned to their residence, met with Seo Nak and told Chwi Ma and Ian what happened..
When the sword dance ended, Hanseol said to Ian:.
“It was a good decision to not handle it ourselves and leave it to the Sogyoju..”
I thought she was being deceived by Geommugeuk, but this incident changed my mind a little. Even if it wasn't a transcendent being, there was definitely something extraordinary about it..
The gaze of the playful sword dance turned towards Ian..
“A subordinate who hands over work to the leader.?”
“In times like that, a good leader would be to pretend not to notice..”
“It's difficult, living as a leader.”
“Lord Sogyo is living a difficult life. All other leaders have it easy..”
Han Seol was still unfamiliar with this type of conversation. Because I was confident that such an easy relationship with Suha would definitely have major side effects..
“Do you know who the person closest to Elder Seo is??”
Hanseol answered honestly to Geommugeuk’s question..
“The person closest to you is the palace lord..”
“Could you please arrange a meeting with the palace lord tomorrow??”
“Of course.”
“Instead, I will go alone tomorrow..”
“Why??”
Geommugeuk gave an unexpected reason..
“Because when you have a child, you become a parent, not a princess..”
Hanseol believed that Geommugeuk still did not know about his mother..
“I don't think you need to worry about that.?”
“There are laws in the minds of parents that their children never know..”
“How does Soju know the hearts of his parents? Someone who hasn't even gotten married yet?”
It was not a sword dance drama where the answer to this question was difficult..
“When you have someone like your father as your parent, you study hard about them. What are parents!”
Geommugeuk saw Chwima laughing at his words. Everyone fears and cares about their father, but probably not as much as Chuma. I'm glad that I cleared up the misunderstanding that my father would hate me..
Geommugeuk approached Chuma, who was drinking tea, and sniffed it..
“Master So, what are you doing??”
“I'm checking it out because you and the car don't really suit each other. I was wondering if there was alcohol in the kettle instead of tea..”
With those words, Geommugeuk poured tea into the empty teacup and drank it..
“I feel like I'm drunk somehow. Isn’t this a tea-flavored drink??”
“It's nice to drink tea too..”
“Still, you're holding up well.?”
“You know? There is nothing as mysterious as the human body. As if I haven't been drinking so much, my body is already getting used to the car..”
“Not that one. I'm good at resisting the urge to throw everything down..”
Chu Ma drank his tea and said:.
“I can't last long”.
Chuma's eyes were extremely cold through the flowing hair..
Ian and Hanseol knew. Intoxication is not about holding back alcohol, but about holding back anger..
Geommugeuk looked out the window and spoke softly. Now I treat him like an older brother, not a mazon..
“I'll pull it out soon. This is too beautiful a place for evildoers to hide..”
Everyone followed Geommugeuk's gaze and looked at the pure white world outside the window for a moment..
Knowing what kind of person the Blood King is, Geommugeuk imagined for a moment that the white world would be covered in blood..
It's okay though.
Soon it will be covered with pure white snow again.
* * *
Binggungju treated me with refreshments..
“It's my first time sitting together with the successor of the Heavenly Demon Church..”
“It's an honor.”
“Come on, let's go.”
As I drank the tea without hesitation, Binggungju gave me an unexpected look. It's Sogyoju, so how can you drink it without checking for poison?.
“Before coming, I researched and studied about the palace lord..”
“What kind of person am I??”
“He was an intelligent and intelligent person. Even if dementia develops half a hundred years from now, at least you won't poison the small religious leader from the Church of the Heavenly Demon..”
Binggungju smiled slightly. I understood it as a compliment that he looked like he was in his twenties or thirties..
“I did some research on you too..”
“what kind of person am i?”
Binggungju answered while looking at me..
“A person who cannot easily answer that question.”
“You saw it well. I am not an easy person.”
Although he said it as a joke, Binggungju didn't laugh as if he really thought that..
“There is progress in the investigation?”
“Yes, so I visited Elder Seo yesterday..”
“Are you suspicious of Elder Seo??”
I took a moment to drink my tea slowly..
“What do you think, palace lord??”
“It's absurd.”
“There are suspicious circumstances.”
“Is that so??”
“And yet you remain calm.?”
“Because it can't happen.”
Binggungju did not hide that he trusted Seonak more than anyone else..
“You haven't answered my question properly yet..”
It was also a question asking you to tell me your thoughts directly..
“I suspect.”
“The reason is?”
“That's just the feeling.”
In order for the forces behind the scenes to threaten the palace lord, it would have to be someone like Elder Seo..
“I'm saying there's no direct evidence..”
The sword dance was acknowledged with a smile..
“Why did Elder Seo kill Wonju??”
“I don't know either..”
“he is not that kind of person.”
She nailed it once again, but I feel it. That there is some disbelief hidden in that belief. If you really trusted Seonak, you would have stopped the investigation right now..
There is a separate reason for letting me stay in the ice palace and allowing me to investigate the case..
‘what do you really want?’
I feel that there is a secret hidden deep within the eyes beyond finding the evil beast that killed Wonju..
This time, I looked into Binggungju’s heart through the Northern Blood Gate..
“I think the Northern Blood Gate is also involved in this incident..”
Even though the Northern Blood Gate was mentioned, she was not particularly shaken..
“did you expect?”
“Because your second child is involved with you..”
“You know he's dead.?”
Of course Binggungju knew..
“They say that they were so shocked by the kidnapping this time that they committed suicide..”
“do you believe that?”
She drank tea instead of answering..
“What do you think? The type of person who even kills their children for their own desires..”
“I'm like that too. He is a person who is more important to Binggung than his children..”
Her answer was self-mocking yet provocative..
“It seems I studied the palace lord incorrectly. The palace lord I studied with is a person who cares for his daughter more than anyone else..”
Binggungju looked at me intently. With a look in your eyes that asks how you know that.
I don't know anything else, but I know one thing for sure. how much you love your daughter.
I haven't been able to express it properly until now, and it seems like I don't even know my own feelings..
“Well, it's okay anyway.”
I have attracted people who work well and communicate well in any situation..
“Because my father would be like that too..”
As expected, Binggungju smiled faintly. She must know very well what kind of person the Heavenly Demon of her time is..
And what I wanted to say was this.
“Both your father and the palace lord are thinking wrong..”
Binggungju seemed slightly surprised by the unexpected words. You probably didn't know that even the Heavenly Demon would tell you that you were mistaken, even though you were the one in front of you..
“In what sense??”
I told her first what I wanted to say to my father someday..
“When you sacrifice everything for the organization and look back, I want to tell you not to live a life without anyone..”
“!”
“It's a life I run for the sake of those behind me. So I just looked ahead and ran. How can you do this? Such a lamentable life. You need to look back. That's enough, you have to look back much more and more often than you would like. Sadly, seven or eight times out of ten, I don't even know I looked back. Because they have to look behind themselves too..”
I stood up and greeted her politely..
“I would like to tell you that it is time to take care of your daughter. Fortunately, it looks like I'm still standing behind..”
* * *
The next day, I visited Binggungju again..
“what's happening today?”
“I came to see you again today because I thought you might have been too rude yesterday..”
“You told me to talk to my daughter and then you came again..”
Fortunately, he didn't seem upset about yesterday. Because her daughter's issue is probably just as important to her..
“You haven’t called your daughter yet.?”
Binggungju could not answer. If you were a person who could look back right away, you would have been living looking back in the first place..
“I know that it won't be easy once you say it..”
“so? Does this mean that you will come until it is done??”
“I think so..”
“The reason for doing this?”
I have feelings for both of you, but there are other reasons as well..
It was because of Seonak. He will be watching me meet Binggungju..
We met yesterday, and we met today too. If we meet again tomorrow?
Given his obsessive-compulsive nature, it is assumed that he seeks some kind of perfection or order in his relationships..
The Demonic Cult leader, who clearly shows signs of doubting himself, meets Binggungju every day? This will definitely shake up his order..
We need to find out quickly what role he plays in this. Is it just a good elder who has OCD, or is it their hands and feet or the torso itself?.
“Could there be any other reason? I hope that the Lord of the Ox will do well. If it weren't for Sogongju this time, I wouldn't have been here. I wouldn't have been able to see the palace lord this often. Since you studied me, I guess you know me well. I really like hanging out with the late exponents. I'm the one who dances with you, too..”
No matter how hard you try to understand me, it won't be easy. As long as what you are convinced is false is my truth.
“Have you ever felt lost??”
What else are you trying to say by saying this? Binggungju shook his head with those emotions intact on his face..
“I get it often. I felt the same way yesterday when I left to see the palace lord. How could I be so arrogant and say such things to the palace lord? In the first place, I followed you to the North Sea because I wanted to spend time with you..”
I bowed my head politely to her..
“I'm sorry for being cocky yesterday..”
She stared at me in silence for a moment and asked.
“Did you say you quit drinking??”
“Yes, it is a sobriety of loyalty..”
“When will it end??”
I knew it meant we should have a drink together..
“It's not far.”
Of course, I added a decisive word:.
“If the palace lord trusts me.”
* * *
The reason Seonak moved was that evening when Geommugeuk visited Gungjujeon for three days in a row..
“Welcome, Elder..”
“I stopped by on my way through..”
From the time when Binggungju was a small palace lord until now, Seonak has always been courteous to her..
Seonak immediately revealed his business..
“I heard that you often meet with the leader of the Demonic Cult..”
“He came to see me for three days straight..”
Seonak asked cautiously..
“When you become a leader, you won't just move. What did you think his intentions were??”
He expressed his feelings about sword dance by using the expression “ultimate intention.”.
“He told me to get along well with my daughter..”
Seonak waited for the next words. I was wondering if that wasn't the end..
“We mainly talked about that for three days..”
Seonak couldn't believe it..
‘The palace lord deceives me.?’
Of course, I couldn't help but think that way. The sword dance he performed was skilled compared to his age. There were thorns and bones in every word that struck me..
But you came here for three days to say goodbye to Hanseol? It was hard to believe.
“As you know, demons are untrustworthy people..”
“I don't trust them either.”
If you don't believe them, why did you invite them??
Seonak said, trying hard to swallow the words that were stuck in his throat..
“I don't know what Sogyoju's intentions are, but I think it would be better to get him out as soon as possible..”
And added emphatically.
“Even for the ice palace.”
Then Binggungju spoke softly..
“You say it's for the ice palace again..”
When Seonak was shocked and was about to ask what he meant, Binggungju spoke first..
“You are right. There is nothing good about demons staying in the palace for a long time. I tell Mr. So to handle this case within a deadline..”
Although he obediently followed his wishes, Seonak noticed that Binggungju was different from usual. It was somehow strangely different..
Bingungungju always stood at the distance and position he had decided. And I felt it at this moment. It stands slightly crooked from its original position..
“This is all for the sake of Bingungung..”
Seonak left those words and came down from Gungjujeon. As I was coming down the stairs, I remembered what Binggungju said earlier..
―You say it's for the ice palace again..
also? When did you mean what you said? It was something I said out of habit, so I couldn't tell when I meant what I said..
When he came down to Gungjujeon, Seonak met Geommugeuk at the entrance..
“Elder Seo?”
“Sogyoju.”
The two people looked at each other and exchanged greetings..
“Are you on your way to see the palace lord??”
“That's right. you?”
Although he showed a side that didn't need to be seen, Seonak remained calm..
“I also came to see the palace lord. If you had come a little earlier, we would have seen you together. It's a pity.”
“He said you've been visiting him often lately..”
“It's not often that I have the opportunity to learn the palace lord's high level of insight..”
“Then let's talk.”
“I'm planning to meet the palace lord and go to Bukhyeolmun Gate..”
When Seonak’s footsteps were mentioned, Seonak’s steps stopped..
“Why is it in the Bukhyeolmun Gate??”
“You will be very heartbroken because you have lost your self-control. You should go and mourn..”
“Lord So is so kind..”
Seonak did not believe that he was going to mourn..
I didn't feel well. Geommugeuk was moving around and distracting his surroundings..
“See you next time then.”
Seonak watched as Geommugeuk lowered his upper body and swept the fist. A letter sticking out of Geommugeuk’s arms.
‘no way? Is this the letter that said Wonju gave me Hyangsulbingju??’
I saw the sword dance. For the first time, your kindly smiling face hardens in any situation..
His order began to fall apart..
