Chapter 415
Episode 415: Drinking party is allowed.
Geommugeuk got up from his bed..
“I see you often these days.”
Seonak stood blankly at Geommugeuk’s words and then spoke softly..
“There must have been some mistake.”
Unlike when he pushed hard earlier, he was calm..
“I think there is someone trying to get the elder into trouble with false information..”
‘That's you!’
Seonak felt his heart about to get angry..
‘It's not like me.’
I'm having trouble controlling my emotions these days as I'm being caught up in the relationship with the leader..
It was like that when I came here. I should have checked under the blanket more calmly and politely. Also, I shouldn't have been so surprised if I saw him in bed..
“I'm sorry for being rude..”
Seonak controlled his mind by being polite..
“This is not something that can be ended with a simple apology, so today I will formally complain to the palace guard..”
“That's right.”
Seonak left the room with the warriors he had brought with him..
As they left, Ian shouted at Geommugeuk..
“When did you come??”
“A little while ago. When you open the elder door.”
“Through the window.?”
Geommugeuk nodded. Ian looked at the horse..
‘Ugh, I guess it was someone's brother. He knew you were here but you pretended not to notice.!’
Ian was relieved and sighed..
“iced coffee! You were surprised! I thought my heart was going to explode earlier..”
Chuma heard her words..
“He must have been glued to the window trying to make his heart explode. To surprise you by coming in at the right time..”
Ian nodded and agreed with Chwima's joke..
“Of course, you are the kind of person who will hang on to a snowstorm as long as you can surprise others. Okay, you must have achieved something by surprising people like this.?”
It was a statement made to attack the sword dance..
“I found the mastermind.”
Ian screamed, ‘Oh my!’ I was more surprised than when I took off the blanket earlier..
“Really?”
“I got lucky.”
“You are truly the best in the world at surprising people.!”
Geommugeuk secretly infiltrated the Northern Blood Gate and saw Han Seol meeting Yang Seok..
While everyone was focused on the meeting, I planned to investigate the inside of the Northern Blood Gate. However, I saw the guard who had followed Yang Seok leave..
Since this was not an ordinary incident, I followed him and witnessed him perform a blood attack on Shi Bi. I acted like I was taking care of her, but in an instant, I was in trouble, so I couldn't help her even if I wanted to..
“who is he?”
“He is in charge of guarding the heir of the Northern Blood Gate..”
Chwima and Ian nodded with stern faces. As expected, they were hiding in a completely unexpected place..
“So you revealed your identity to him on purpose??”
Earlier, Seonak was convinced that there was no sword dance here..
As expected, Geommugeuk nodded..
“In order to find out what his martial arts level was, I also wanted to check if the Northern Blood Gate and the West Elder were connected to each other..”
“You checked both.?”
Geommugeuk nodded..
“There's one more thing. Our imprisonment here will also be released. Since Seonak showed great disrespect to the Sogyoju of Shingyo, it means that Binggungju has a justification for releasing us..”
Ian asked Geommugeuk with a blank face..
“Do you know what I think at times like this??”
“What do you think??”
“ah! How lucky am I to be on the same side as you? How fortunate I am that I am not your enemy.?”
Do you know what I feel??
How fortunate I am to have you by my side in such a bright light.?
“I was so surprised that it made my heart stronger..”
Now Geommugeuk looked at Chuma. He was looking out the window in silence.
What are they thinking? alcohol? Or dead Wonju? Or the girl I left behind?
But it was all wrong. Right now, Chwima was thinking about sword dance. How can you be so smart? How do I get things done without panicking??
If it weren't for the sword dance, everything would have to be handled on your own, but would you be able to achieve this result? It's been a long time since I've been thinking about feeling like an older brother even though he's really my younger brother..
“brother.”
Not my brother. Instead, call me younger brother..
I looked back at the sword dance performance with such foolish thoughts..
The words he had been waiting for so much came out of the mouth of his younger brother who was like an older brother..
“It's finally time to start drinking.”
* * *
Han Seol returned to the Bing Palace and headed to the Palace Palace..
“I came to drink tea.”
Although he said he would come back and drink it, Binggungju was embarrassed because he didn't know that he would come looking for him as soon as he came back..
“Come here.”
Hanseol sat at the data table provided in the palace palace, and Binggungju rode in the car himself..
“I'll ride.”
“Okay, just sit down..”
Binggungju started brewing tea himself..
Meanwhile, Hanseol watched his mother's back in silence..
I wanted to say something, but nothing came out of my mouth. Should I ask what kind of car it is? Or should I bring up the story of the Northern Blood Gate first? Should I at least talk about the weather??
It's been so long since we've only exchanged official words that I don't know what to say..
I thought that speaking was similar to martial arts. No matter how great a meal is in your head, it is useless if your body does not get used to it. No matter how earnest your heart is, words will not come out because they are not in your mouth..
It was a moment when I realized again that words are spoken with the mouth, not with the head or heart..
Meanwhile, Binggungju came to make tea..
“How does the tea taste??”
“great.”
No words were spoken and there was only awkward silence..
Binggungju wasn't much different from being awkward..
What should I say to my daughter? Binggungju is also worried about things he has never done in his life..
So the two just drank tea quietly. They say you can tell a truly close relationship by how awkward it is when they remain silent, but these two still have a long way to go. A breathtaking silence that makes you wonder what would have happened if there wasn’t even a car in front of you..
But Binggungju didn't want to break this silence by saying anything..
In a way, I actually liked this awkwardness. Because I felt like a new relationship was starting.
The person who broke the silence for a long time was Han Seol..
“Who do you think will survive longer, a heartless person or a kind person??”
It was a random question, but I answered it first..
“a heartless person.”
Then Hanseol smiled slightly..
“Your answer is the same as mine..”
“Don’t all unmanned people think the same??”
“Ian, who came with So Jyoju, said that. He says he thinks kind people will survive for a long time..”
Ian, for some reason, I caught my eye when I first met him..
“I was just curious. What is the palace lord thinking?.”
Was it because of that question? Binggungju spoke out what was on his mind for the first time..
“I wanted to raise you strong. A child who is not shaken by the howling north wind.”
The tea in the teacup that Hanseol was holding vibrated once, creating a wave..
so? How is it now? Did you grow up to be the kind of child your mother sees you as??
After talking with my daughter, I was finally able to find out about Binggungju..
I tried to create a situation like this, and the reason I said that a little while ago was not because of a sudden change of heart or because of the sword dance..
He knew his instincts. If things continue like this, I will lose my daughter. Almost everything has already been lost. I was just ignoring it with the excuse that I was busy with work. If things continue like this, she will just be the owner of the palace and will not be the mother..
Maybe I was living thinking that it might already be too late. I don't want to check it, so I try my best to look away..
Then, a sword dance performance appeared. The words that I would still be standing behind flew into my heart and eventually brought me to this place..
And I really wanted to say this. It's a little embarrassing, but I really wanted to do this for my daughter..
“You raised me well to be that kind of child..”
There was silence.
It was just a word. Han Seol felt as if part of the ice wall frozen in his heart was breaking and pouring down. The barrier was still huge, but it was significant that it was broken for the first time..
Han Seol finished drinking the tea he was holding and put down the tea cup..
“I'll take you next time.”
* * *
If you want to run a drinking party in someone else's house, you need the owner's permission..
“You seem to be in a good mood..”
Binggungju smiled faintly at my words..
“My daughter went there.”
Binggungju's expression told what the place was like..
“Congratulations.”
“Thanks to you.”
“I was the one who said the words, and it was the palace lord who turned around..”
Binggungju was feeling great gratitude for the sword dance. I understand now. In the report on the sword dance, the incredible movements of the mind.
“But what should I do? I might have to ruin the palace lord's good mood..”
“what's going on?”
Geomugeuk said seriously.
“I'm trying to deal with Elder Seo. please allow.”
Binggungju said nothing at the shocking remark. Maybe he expected it to turn out like this..
“I saw a master using a blood technique at the Northern Blood Gate..”
Binggungju’s eyes glowed coldly at the mention of bloodwork. As far as he knows, there are no masters in the North Sea who use blood skills. In other words, it means that there is a conspiracy going on in the Northern Blood Gate..
“He was connected to Elder Seo..”
“The evidence is?”
“doesn't exist.”
“So you're saying you're going to kill the elder of the Ice Palace just based on the circumstances??”
“I think this is enough. Because we have to judge by considering some of the mistakes and lies that the elder made earlier..”
In particular, it was decisive that he even lied to Binggungju about asking him to put Hyangseolbingju for the dead Wonju. In the process, Binggungju also saw a different side of Seonak..
“You couldn't find clearer evidence from these people. They are all too old-fashioned for that. Even if I took the time to find it, it would already be too late..”
There was silence for a moment. I gave her enough time to think about it..
“The person the palace lord should be concerned about right now is not Elder Seo. You may be most concerned about him because you haven't known him for a long time, but he is just an arm attached to a torso. What you need to pay attention to is the head and body..”
These were the decisive words that moved her.
“It's not me who makes this decision..”
“what does it mean?”
“The palace lord's bad premonition called us. I am telling you that the former palace lord's intuition was correct..”
Eventually, Bingungju made a decision. It didn't take that long.
“I will handle Elder Seo myself..”
“Of course you should. However, when it comes to Elder Seo, I hope you give Mr. Chwima a chance first..”
Considering the current situation, there is a high possibility that the person who killed the Wonju of Baekju Snowfield was Elder Seo..
There was one more worry, and this time the decision was quick..
“I will allow you to have drinks. However, please invite me too..”

Seonak was organizing decorations in the main hall..
When my mind was busy, I would take out all the decorations and decorate them anew..
I lined up correctly again. When I lined up everything without a single error, there was a sense of pleasure from that perfection..
While I was engrossed in this for a while, I heard the sound of the main hall door opening behind me..
The sound of the door opening was different from usual..
Originally, there should have been a report from a subordinate that someone came before the door opened..
But if the door opens alone like that, it means that an uninvited guest has arrived..
All the subordinates guarding the outside must have been subdued..
Seonak said without looking back..
“Please wait a moment. Because it's over.”
Seonak turned back only after lining up every last one perfectly..
The person looking at him in the main hall was Chuma..
When I made eye contact with Chuma, I knew instinctively..
‘came to kill me.’
Seonak sat at the table welcoming guests..
“Thank you for your patience. Come on, let's sit down..”
Chu Ma sat across from him..
Seonak placed the glasses on the table, one in front of him and the other across from him..
“Maybe it's because I'm tired from work, but I'm thirsty. Could you please give me a drink??”
Chwima lifted the blood tube hanging from his waist and opened the stopper..
The fragrant scent of ice wine wafted out. This is ice wine made by Wonju before his death..
Chu Ma took a deep breath and poured the drink into the glass in front of him..
But he didn't pour alcohol for Seonak..
Chwima drank alone. It was my first drink in a really long time. As the alcohol spread throughout my body, I closed my eyes and put on a happy expression. As I drank the ice wine, my longing for Wonju arose..
Even though his eyes were closed right before his eyes, Seonak was unable to attack him. This is because the cycle that rose like a haze around his body quivered as if it were alive..
Chuma slowly opened his eyes and asked.
“Why did you kill that person??”
Chuma poured his second drink only into his own glass..
Seonak said while fiddling with the empty glass in front of him..
“Give me a drink and ask. There is no mercy.”
Even in this situation, Xu Luo was not afraid at all..
“You're confident you can kill me?”
Chu Ma did not confirm or deny, but just stared at him in silence..
“It's all because of inertia. So did I. Because there was no one to make me nervous in this North Sea..”
Seonak, who lived with a smile, began to show his true colors. He revealed his true prayer. The prayer that came out was so cold and strong that it seemed to freeze the whole world. He was more skilled than he was originally known for..
“It's really scary to get caught up in inertia. Since you are a mazon, you must have achieved something in your life, right? Normally, I would have defeated an enemy that I couldn't defeat. Win and win again. As it turns out, the other person was not you, but was preyed upon by the fear of a demonic cult..”
Chu Ma was not at all shaken by Seonak's momentum. He took another drink..
Before they knew it, the cycle of intoxication had spread like fog around them..
“I drink the alcohol, but you talk nonsense..”
Seonak smiled, showing his teeth at Chwima's leisure. He always had a good-natured smile and smiled like a wild beast baring its fangs..
“That woman was weak. It would have been fine if I had made it secretly, but I kept thinking about it. One day he came to see me and said that. I guess I should tell the palace lord the truth. Now my curiosity has been answered.?”
Then Chwima gave an unexpected answer..
“I wasn't curious at all. Isn't it obvious why humans like us kill good people? It must be a trivial and selfish reason..”
“But why did you ask?”
It was at that moment when Seonak made an expression of incomprehension. I heard someone's voice from behind.
“I said I was curious..”
The person who walked through the thick fog and sat down was Binggungju..
She stared at Seonak and asked calmly:.
“Was that also for Binggung’s sake??”
