Chapter 90
Episode 90: A relationship worse than not being close.
In fact, even when he told Geommugeuk that he would wait and see, Hyeolcheondoma had a great feeling of disbelief..
Geommuyang comes to see you first? Without taking care of other Mazon? That can't be possible..
But as if it were part of a dance performance, Geommuyang came that night..
“What's going on with you??”
Then Geommuyang held up the liquor bottle he had brought..
“I came here because I wanted to have a drink with an elderly person. If I remember correctly, you liked this drink.?”
“I managed to remember it. Now, come here..”
Instead of letting him into the house, Hyeolcheondoma sat facing him on a large rock in the yard..
“It's refreshing, so let's have a drink here..”
“great.”
Hyeolcheon Doma brought Sibi a drink and a simple snack..
We met on the day Geommuyang returned, but we weren't in a situation to look out for each other at that time..
Now, for the first time, Hyeolcheondoma calmly observed Geommuyang’s prayers. Indeed, my prayers were different from when I left..
“I heard that you have overcome the magic tool wall.?”
“Thanks to your concern, I passed..”
“Congratulations.”
“thank you.”
“The leader must have been happy.”
“yes.”
Hyeolcheondoma asked various questions about the magic tool wall, and Geommuyang answered as sincerely as she could. In the past, the two used to talk about martial arts..
Geommuyang liked talking about Hyeolcheon Doma and martial arts. Strangely enough, I got along well with him..
When the drink was almost empty, Hyeolcheondoma spoke first..
“I came here because I wanted to ask you something. So feel free to ask.”
“Yes, then, like a man, I will ask without interrupting. Why did you choose your brother? I think there must be a reason or reason..”
“Of course there is.”
Hyeolcheon Doma thought for a moment about what to say, and then answered:.
“Your brother has the power to attract people..”
Geommuyang nodded silently..
“It's a power that attracts the heart.…….”
I expected many answers and thought there might be something like this. However, when she heard it in person, Geommuyang was overcome with feelings of despair and regret..
In my life, I have never heard of someone being attractive to me..
“I have never felt that kind of power from Mugeuk. Oh, I don't mean to disparage Mugeuk. I wonder what that feels like.”
“Of course I didn't feel it. There would have been no reason for Lee Gong-ja to be attracted to you, and you also would have had no time to accept your younger brother's feelings.?”
“Yes, I did..”
Hyeolcheondoma poured a drink for Geommuyang, who nodded obediently..
“You are a great warrior. He definitely has the qualities to become a Heavenly Demon..”
Hyeolcheondoma truly thought so. Really, if Geommugeuk hadn't been acting like a crazy person, I would have continued to support Geommuyang..
“And yet you chose your younger brother, right??”
“There are times in a person's life when he or she is pushed around by a sudden wind..”
“I wish I was where the wind is heading. I want to go this road with my elders.”
The eyes toward Hyeolcheon Doma were shining. At least at this moment, Geommuyang was speaking the truth..
“Aren’t there many other mazons??”
“no. I really need an older person.”
“The reason is?”
Although Mabul followed him like his right-hand man, deep down in Geommuyang's heart, he preferred Hyeolcheondoma..
“To me... … Because you are absolutely necessary..”
He gave no other reason..
I thought that if Hyeolcheondoma had not heard from Geommugeuk that Geommuyang would come, he might have been moved by this plea..
“May I give you some suggestions??”
“do.”
“When I become the Heavenly Demon, I will seat you in the position of the First Demon..”
“First Amazon?”
“yes. We will create the best position among the Mazon that is recognized by the Cheonmajeon. Additionally, we will increase the size of the Namdo Bell to three times its current size. We will lift the limit on the number of demons and significantly increase support for the Namdo sect. In addition, we will open Cheonmaseoggak especially to the elderly. You can go and see it any time..”
Geommuyang knew that Hyeolcheondoma liked books. In the Cheonmaseogak, not only military secrets were stored. There were many poems and literary works that Hyeolcheondoma would like to see that are difficult to find in the market..
Considering the fairness with other Amazons, it was truly an unconventional proposal..
Of course, Hyeolcheondoma was not naive enough to believe everything he said..
Later, when you become a Heavenly Demon, what will you do if you say, ‘The opposition from other Magons is stronger than I expected, so please make some concessions.’?
He would even be older than he is now, turning into a toothless tiger..
“Mabul: Would that person be upset if he heard it? You must be confident that you will become the best mazon..”
Of course, Geommuyang seemed to have expected this reaction and was not embarrassed at all..
“I can't help it. Although I respect and like Mr. Mabul, I think Mr. Doma is the most suitable person for the position. You can tell the old man Mabul what I just said..”
It seems like he has faith that he will never say this to Mabul. Where on earth did this belief come from? Do you think of yourself as such a noble person??
“I'll think about your suggestion..”
“thank you.”
After toasting the last drink, Geommuyang stood up..
Geommuyang, who was about to leave, added the last thing.
“Elder, I will definitely become the Cheonma..”
After Geommuyang disappeared, Hyeolcheondoma took something out of his mouth. It was blood liquor given as a gift by Geommugeuk. He did not completely trust Geommuyang who brought him alcohol..
Hyeolcheondoma said to himself,.
“……Yeah, there was a time when I was sure of that.”
* * *
When Geommuyang returned, Mabul was waiting for him..
“Have you ever visited Hyeolcheon Doma??”
“Our school is still the same. There are no secrets.”
“What kind of secret command is it that you confidently visit in broad daylight like that? Why did you do that??”
“I went to appease him..”
“So?”
“He says he'll think about it..”
“he betrays.”
Mabul deliberately used the strong word traitor..
“A person who changes his mind once will change his mind again. You know?”
Then Geommuyang said something surprising..
“While I was drinking, I saw you had poisoned blood in your mouth..”
“Unless that person goes crazy!”
Compared to the angry Mabul, Geommuyang was calm..
“It didn't look like they were trying to hide it on purpose. I don’t trust you, Thomas said..”
“no more dealings.”
Even more surprising words came out of Geommuyang’s mouth..
“By the way, I offered to give the first mazon position to the elderly Doma..”
For a moment, Mabul was startled. It was so unexpected that I froze for a moment..
I originally thought that the position of First Majon was mine..
So Mabul waited for the next words. First of all, I said this to placate you, so don't worry about it..
But Geommuyang didn’t say that..
‘So what is it? Are you really going to give it to me??’
Mabul bit his molars without realizing it. You can see the way a person is clenching their molars if you look closely at them. Moreover, how could a master like Geommuyang not know? However, Geommuyang pretended not to see it and did not react at all..
All kinds of thoughts passed through Mabul's mind..
Was it a mistake? Or because you are insensitive? Either that or knowingly and intentionally.?
I thought that maybe he was trying to punish me for bringing in the Yunnan twins this time..
Similar things have happened in the past. The most embarrassing thing about moments like this is that Geommuyang is a more intelligent and smarter person than anyone else..
So, Mabul was always confused by the thought that it might not just be a mistake, but an action with some intention..
And the worst part of all is this:.
Not being able to express these feelings.
If it had been anyone else, I would have already asked directly..
Why? Are you ignoring me? Don't do this.
But those words did not come easily to Geommuyang. Is it because I started the relationship wrong? Or is there some kind of invisible wall that Geommuyang intended to erect between him and himself??
The relationship between Mr. Geommu and himself is a relationship in which only he suffers..
A relationship is worse than not being close at all…….
In the end, Mabul summed it up like always:.
‘Yes, you can. Because you are still young.’
As an adult, I have to endure it. Because the task he took on was to turn a young man with great blood into a devil..
“We have to take care of our people too. They are all watching too.”
You should know that these words came after many thoughts.!
Did you read Mabul’s inner thoughts??
“I don't have much affection for other mazons..”
“What do you mean??”
“Don't you and Thomas come out and say who you support? But the rest of the Mazon are just watching. Will you be on the advantageous side later? It's so shallow..”
It would have been great if only Hyeolcheon Doma had been left out of those words. No, if he really wanted to deceive himself, he would have removed it intentionally. Being honest like this shows respect for yourself..
“Still we really need them.”
“I only trust the elderly..”
Mabul and Geommuyang looked at each other and smiled..
Mabul felt relieved to some extent, but the pain in his heart did not resolve..
‘So who are you giving the first Amazon to??’
But in the end, neither Geommuyang nor Mabul said anything about him..
* * *
Hyeolcheon Doma came to me with a surprised face..
“You were right. The Archduke really came to visit me. How on earth did you know??”
“This is a secret... … I have the ability to see the future.”
“Seeing that you're still crazy, I guess someone took your mind away with a magic trick..”
I laughed and said at Hyeolcheon Doma's joke..
“Didn't I tell you? My brother is naturally like that..”
“This time, I felt something big again..”
Hyeolcheondoma hesitated for a moment in what he wanted to say. But it was something I said anyway. Indeed, given his personality, it was a remark worthy of hesitation..
“I realized again what kind of person you are to me..”
“!”
I was nervous. This was the first time that Hyeolcheondoma spoke about me in this way..
“what does it mean?”
“No matter what temptation the Archduke tried, he didn't pay attention. As you said, he made an unconventional offer. But I didn't agree at all.”
In my ears, I heard the door to his heart open a little more..
I was thankful for the Hyeolcheon cutting board. I was so grateful that you told me that fact..
Yes, I have to say this to understand. Everyone acts like they know everything, but if you don't tell them, they won't know..
I immediately pulled out my black magic sword and drew a line on the floor. And I drew a line a little further to the right than the line that Hyeolcheondoma drew before..
“Has your love for me reached this point now??”
Hyeolcheondoma did not deny it, but he also did not forget the warning..
“But you know what will happen if you do that.?”
“what happens?”
“You will pay a heavy price. Among the products that come with a price, the ones displayed at the front are the ones with the most money..”
Perhaps because he reads a lot of books, Hyeolcheondoma sometimes uses expressions that don't suit him. I really like this side of him.
“I'll keep that in mind.”
“If what you said is true, the Archduke would also visit the leader of the Pungcheon Church. Can I leave it as is??”
“I have to leave it..”
“Will that person be as strong as me??”
“Instead, aren't there two people??”
“Two people? who? high moon?”
“The leader of the Pungcheon Church will definitely discuss the matter with Gao Yue..”
“Do you believe in gowol??”
“yes.”
“You shouldn't trust people so easily.”
I think that Hyeolcheondoma's wariness includes a bit of jealousy. Since I had no intention of using that jealousy to win over Hyeolcheondoma's heart, I obediently followed his words..
“Yes, I will always be on guard. Please take good care of the elderly too..”
“Sure. By the way, are you planning to just stay while the Archduke is wandering around like this??”
“Since it's been a while since I came back, I have to give up the lead at least once. Let's see how you come out..”
I thought it was a good thing. He'll put us all to the test.
“Let's see if the ground hardens after the rain and if we end up rolling around in the mud naked..”
