Chapter 382 – 376 Port City Praver
Returning to the hotel, Hwanin was greeted by Anne and Yurpa, who were packing up their belongings.
= Are you here? Welcome.=
=Welcome.=
Anne came closer as she asked with her face a little frustrated.
=Doryeong, what’s going on? I don’t understand the story Hwanyeon told me at all.=
Standing on the table, Hwanyeon frowned as she ate the fruit cut by Yurupa.
“What do you not understand? Is it so hard to understand that the lady of the deceased Prabur was acquainted with Hwanin and Isilite, and that the lady loved Hwanin enough to commit suicide, and that a conspiracy and scheming between cities lurks behind that death?」
= You forgot too much about the story in the middle! What if I summarized it only for you to know?!=
“Is that the point?”
=Oh, really!=
Hwanin comforted Anne, who was pounding her chest as if frustrated, and said.
“It’s overly implied, but it’s just as I said. Sit down once I have someone to introduce to everyone.”
Who can introduce you? Where are the people?
Looking behind Hwanin, who had no one there, Anne tilted her head and looked back at Isilite, who only smiled at her slightly puzzled face.
Standing in front of Issilite, Anne, and Yurpa on a long sofa, Hwanin invited Baekryeogang, whose expression was mixed with anticipation, tension, excitement, anxiety, and curiosity, to his side.
“…….”
“…….”
Looking at Baekryeogang, who was small and delicate, as if he was throbbing, Hwanin seemed to be denying the common sense he had learned from his parents.
How could he be so innocent when he died? Are you saying that your past life and memories are now irrelevant to you?
‘Perhaps her previous life was fleeting and meaningless to her.’
At Hwanin’s gaze, Baek Ryo-gang looks at him with a nervous heart, and then smiles happily when he sees his outstretched hand, and Sosogo puts his hand up.
Hwanin stared at his small, slender hand for a moment and began injecting aura.
=Huh?=
=Oops.=
As the color begins to be added to the blue-colored spiritual body as it was in life, the girlfriends are amazed, like ordinary people seeing top-class actresses and idols for the first time.
Isilite, even though this is the third time, her mouth is slightly open, and she is staring at Baeklyukang’s face.
“Let me introduce you. Baek Ryeo-gang, a young lady who was the second daughter of Baek Joong-ik, the lord of Prabur. About ten months ago, on her own request, she had explored the Labyrinth Unreached by Wayford.”
=…… Uh, um.=
= Oh my…….=
Hwanin’s story made Anne and Yu Lepa look puzzled as she didn’t know how to react.
How should I greet the soul? Nice to meet you? Talking about your health is forbidden, and talking about your current situation seems NG, right?
In place of them, Isili Te got up from her seat and approached Baek Ryogang and greeted her.
=It’s been a while, Lady Baek Ryeo-gang. I met you earlier, but I couldn’t say hello because of the situation.=
“Yes, nice to see you again. Is it only 10 months? How have you been?」
Isilite was a little taken aback by Baek Ryeo-gang’s greeting.
When she tries to answer that she’s doing well, she’s worried about the condition of Baekryeo-gang, and she can’t say no.
Baek Ryeo-gang smiled softly at Isilite’s appearance.
“You don’t have to worry so much about my condition. Now that I am no longer the daughter of a noble family, I would be happy if you could call me by my first name.”
= That…… Go.=
= Oh, it’s a little embarrassing. I don’t care.=
“My name is Li Kang. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Holy Warrior of the Silver Iron Wall.”
= Huh? Did I know?=
“Yes. The story of Hwanin-nim’s colleague is famous. Yes? Mr. Yurpa.”
Baek Ryeo-gang, who naturally exchanged greetings with Isilite, greeted Yurpa with a smile on her face, and Yurpa hurriedly greeted her with a face that she did not know she knew.
= I, I would not have been known because I never showed up…… ?=
“Because you’re Hwanin-sama’s colleague.”
Baek Ryogang smiled brightly when he said that, but she was a bit taken aback when it came to her Hwanyeon.
Thanks to gathering the whereabouts of the green saint through information combination, I knew of the existence of Anne and Yurpa, but there was no explanation about this little fairy in the report.
Hwanyeon, noticing that fact, smiled and asked.
“I don’t know, do you see?”
“Oh…… Mi-I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. It’s only natural that I don’t know because I’ve rarely shown myself properly in front of others. I’m a fan I joined Hwanin’s party in the tyrant dragon’s labyrinth.”
“Really? I would like to hear more about that story if there is a chance.”
With her smiling face, Bai Lijiang slightly bent her waist and held out her hand, and Fan Yan also smiled and held her fingers with both hands and shook them.
“If you go around with us, you will naturally understand. But you can really touch it.”
“Ah, I see. How did it happen Is it because Hwanyeon-nim is a fairy?”
“Rather than that, Hwanin must have done something? You also have a very strange tactile feeling.”
“Private questions and curiosity will be addressed later, and the situation will be sorted out for now. Anne, Yurpa. Would you like to go out and tell us what information you have gathered?”
The women, who were trying to sneak up on Baek Ryeo-gang, wake up to Hwan-in’s question and sit down again to answer.
Yurpa opened her mouth first.
=Yeoni visited while gathering information, so we couldn’t find out much, but it’s certain that the lord of Pravor is half insane.=
= Yes. It was said that until three months ago, even the slightest suspicious behavior on the street was immediately caught by the soldiers. It is said that if they resisted the arrest, they were executed on the spot. At that time, the entrance to the city was very strict, so I heard that if the identity was unclear, entry was prohibited at all?=
“Didn’t you know the reason why such behavior started?”
= Uh…….=
Anne looked back at Baek Ryogang with her face saying it was difficult to answer. Baek Ryogang answered her instead.
“I think it might be because of me. After I committed suicide and traces of the intruder were discovered, my father’s chronic disease, suspicious disease, worsened.”
“…… Did no one really notice the intruder coming in and out?”
“Yes. My father must have felt like a knife had gone in and out of his throat. I think that’s probably the reason why the soldiers started capturing the behavior winners.”
= It was also said that it has eased a lot since two months ago. Instead, citizens’ dissatisfaction is on the verge of an explosion. I have a lot of complaints about the lord, but I think that this situation is caused by RSOP, so I think it’s a very severe state of antipathy toward that side.
At Anne’s supplementary explanation, Yurpa said while placing her palm on her cheek.
=Everyone seems to think that the cause of this condition is RSOP. Alsop’s battleship is said to be developing power near the passageway exiting the Praver Strait, and Pravor’s battleship is also in formation against it…….=
If the capital had not intervened in the palace, an all-out war would have already occurred several times, and according to rumors circulating in the city, a small skirmish with Alsof had also taken place at a good location to build a battery position on land near Praber Strait.
=But there’s no way that Alsop would suddenly do that, right? In my opinion…….=
Yurupa’s gaze turned to Baeknyeogang, which was standing neatly. This is the face that thinks that Baek Ryogang’s death triggered this situation.
However, he turns around as if he had no intention of saying such a thing in front of him.
=From the perspective of the lord, fortunately out of misfortune, didn’t you spread the wave of tranquility strongly earlier? Because of that, I felt that people’s anger had softened a little.=
= Oh, that’s right. The shop owner who went to sell magic tools did the same. The current threat posed by the soldiers has decreased, but the unsettling atmosphere has intensified. So, he was choking on his breath, but after the grayish-white light appeared and disappeared, he said it became easier to breathe. =
“I felt that light too. It’s embarrassing, but at that time my consciousness was a little cloudy, but after being surrounded by the light, my mind became clear……. Was that intense light a wave of Hwanin-sama’s tranquility?”
= Yes. Was it great? It’s the first time we’ve seen something like that.
“Yes. My heart is pounding at how warm the light is…….」
Hwanin asked Baekryeogang’s shy confession.
“Come to think of it, how did you know I was at Mr. Resim’s house?”
“Just…… It seemed that Hwanin-nim was there. I felt the warmth of that light strongly there.”
Hwanin thought that it might be because he is a soul and feels the waves strongly.
That’s also true, when wandering around villages or villages to make them into Buddhas, the spirits approached Hwanin first. Like ephemera attracted by light.
Anne, who clapped her hands lightly as if to evoke the atmosphere, spoke.
= That’s all we know. Therefore… I said you can call me by name, so I’ll let you go? How does Ryogang…… Did you come with Doryeong?=
In response to Anne’s question, Hwanin let out a silent sigh and explained her reasons in an easy-to-understand way to bring her back.
At that, the women’s expressions turned cold like a blizzard.
=Are you sure the intruder is from Alsop?=
“Come to think of it now, she never said a word about where she came from. I think she cleverly led me to think that she came from R. Thorpe.”
In response to Baekryeogang’s answer, the women clutched her head as if they had heard a nonsense story, or let out a small sigh as if in bewilderment.
= Ha…… The fact that Lady Ryegang also threw herself in a situation where nothing was certain…….=
=Why did you do that? When she dies, it’s all over. She said she fell in love with Dolyeong? Didn’t she want to see her alive again? =
To Anne’s question, which sounded like she was scolding, Baek Ryogang smiled and answered as if it were nothing.
“I didn’t know anything else, but I felt one thing for sure. If I were alive, those people would continue to threaten Hwanin. People’s voices have power, so if you call for misfortune with the same words, that misfortune may actually come true, right? For me, it is unbearable for Hwanin-nim to get caught up in such a thing…….」
=But if you die, everything is over. I can’t see myself anymore, I can’t touch, I can’t talk…….=
“I thought it would be fine as long as Hwanin-nim didn’t get into trouble in return. And he thought that if he succeeded in remaining as a spirit, he might be able to attain Buddhahood from Hwanin-nim.”
Baek Ryeo-gang’s answer made the women feel astonished.
Somehow, isn’t the way of thinking different from them? Are the high-ranking barons of Radsea originally like this?
Baek Ryeo-gang, who read such a sign, added an explanation with a slightly sad smile.
“Ever since I rejected my father’s will and a dispute with Althof arose as a result, my position was as good as standing on the edge of a knife. If I stayed like that for a few more months, I think I would have been killed by my father.”
= What? Why?!=
“Because…….」
On the day when the blood alliance between Prabur and Alsof was broken and Alsof protested and threatened, the women shuddered slightly as Baek Ryogang smiled and told the story of being beaten and kicked by Baek Joong-Ik.
It’s not something to laugh at, so how can you laugh? Is it normal for a daughter to be killed by her father in the baronial world?
When the women were speechless and Hwanin kept his mouth shut, Hwanyeon opened his mouth.
“Awesome. It can be said that the extreme ideology of male predominance, the endless selection of people, and the ideology of treating children as tools are mixed together as the worst masculinity that represents men in Radseah.”
The women made melancholy faces at the thrill of pounding on their bloated stomachs after eating all six apples before they knew it.
Hwanin put the Hwanyeon in his hand and stroked his hair.
“That’s why I won’t be staying at Prabur any longer.”
To sum up Praber’s current situation in one word, it is political strife.
The reason for the confusion, the foul atmosphere, and the death of Baekryeogang are all due to political strife.
“If the city is suffering from natural calamities, I would of course contribute. But there’s no need to get involved in a feud between the two families and deliberately put filth on your body.”
It is true that Baek Ryogang’s death is questionable, but if you think about it calmly, you and Baek Ryogang have nothing to do with each other.
“What a relief. If Hwanin-nim had said that he would intervene in Praver’s situation, I would have stopped him…….」
The party is also talking about that.
Anne exaggeratedly shakes her hands and sighs as she speaks at the heavy story that her heart chokes her chin.
=So, will Ryogang go out with us from now on?=
There are complicated reasons for her death, but the fact that she was for herself also accounts for a significant amount.
“Reason is the lady who gave up her life for me anyway. I intend to do everything I can…….”
“I-I want to go on a trip with Hwanin-sama, even if it’s just for a short time!”
“…… They say. So, even until she attains Buddhahood, she intends to go with her. Any objections?”
= How do you object in this situation……. If I objected, I would have turned into trash in an instant.
She smiled a little humorously and winked at Baek Ryogang, and Anne, taking in her sunset, brushed her reddish silver hair and said,
= She said that she would tie up three days, but if this is the case, it would be better to just cancel and leave right away…… But, it’s going to be night soon. What should I do? Are you just going?=
“Ah, the castle gates should be closing by now. You’d better stay here today and leave early tomorrow.”
“I’ll check and come back.”
Hwan-yeon, who floated from Hwan-in’s hand, flew through the open window and came back after a while to inform them that the castle gate was really closed.
“Then we’ll stay here tonight, and we’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”
=Master, then I will go out for a while to buy groceries. I still have a lot left, but I want to supplement a few ingredients. Spices and seasonings have also decreased a lot.=
“It’s getting late. Will it be okay?”
=I saw it on the way, and there were several places that were open for a while. I’ll be back soon. =
“Anne, come with me too.”
=Uh.=
With her Hwanin’s permission, Isilite packed her preservation bag and left the room with Anne. Yurpa visited the magic store today and started writing down the sales record of the magic tools sold.
「Ah, really? To be born from Hwanin-sama’s blood, Hwanyeon was a special fairy.”
“What is special? It’s just a hybrid of a human and a spirit, oops.”
「Taeng.」
Baek Ryeo-gang, who blocked Hwan-yeon’s small lips with her index finger, scolded him in a small voice.
“…… ?」
“I don’t mean to use such bad words. Hwanyeon is the one and only special fairy in the world who inherited Hwanin-sama’s noble blood.”
“… Well, did you think so…….」
Hwan-in, who had been watching the rarely shy Hwan-yeon and the smiling Baek Ryeo-gang at the sight of such a fantasy, turned his gaze out the window that was now dyed black.
This is the second time I’ve been with the spirit since Cedar…….
‘I’ll have to be careful.’
If I even shoot something like the enhanced tranquility wave that I used for the first time today, Baeknyeogang will be forced to become a Buddha in an instant.
…… ?
Wouldn’t it be a good thing if you did it?
Hwanin, who narrowed his eyes for a moment at his thoughts, shook his head slightly and started to turn on the light in the guest room.
