Chapter 393 – 387 Baekchiryeong PART1
At Baekryeo-gang’s request, Hwanin thought for a moment, then held her hand and generously poured her aura.
The entire blue soul accepts enough aura and quickly regains its bright appearance.
Baeknyeogang reveals itself as if an angel descended along with a group of bright lights that spread brightly in the air.
The White Ryeo River in its soul state is also beautiful, but it doesn’t look like a person in its blue state without any color added.
It looks like a beautiful painting that is alive and moving, or a hologram.
However, when the color is added and the appearance becomes darker after receiving the spiritual energy, from then on, even the Hwanin will automatically direct their gaze.
If it were someone other than him, Baek Ryogang would be a peerless beauty who would be forcibly fixed for a few seconds the moment he saw Baek Ryogang.
Hwanin’s women unwittingly turned their eyes to Baek Ryeo-gang, who suddenly appeared in the air, and Hwanin was also briefly distracted by Baek Ryeo-gang, who showed him an angelic smile.
However, only Baek Chi-ryeong had a sad face——
Puck!
= Kyaheuk.=
She rushed at Baek Ryogang, but Hwanin kicked her in the stomach without mercy and threw her to the ground.
Baek Chi-ryeong, who fell grandly with a crackling sound, jumped up like a tumbler and threw herself at Baek Ryeo-gang, who was flustered, as if she had been frustrated.
That’s why I’m like this…… !
Chin.
=Wow?!=
As soon as Baek Chi-ryeong, who was about to throw her fist at Baek Ryeo-gang, her wrist was grabbed by her Hwan-in, she jumped, her body floated, and soon after, she was unable to catch her fall and was thrown to the stone floor. Lost.
Kwakwang!
=——Keep it… !=
Baek Chi-ryeong, who fell from her back while holding her arm, vomited air from her lungs instead of screaming.
For a while, the moment she tried to run at Baek Ryogang again with her face covered in evil, Hwanin’s soccer kick, which triggered Grimoam’s belt, was stuck in her navel.
Puck-!
= Oops!=
Thud! Crunchy, pounding…….
She flew like a soccer ball and smashed her bookshelf. Shards of her bookshelf and spines fell on top of Baek Chi-ryeong, who fell to the floor.
‘The activation speed of Grimoam’s Belt is faster than that of the Necromancer.’
The belt is activated just by lightly touching any part of the belt with willpower.
Hwanin, who had blown a woman weighing about 60 kg like a soccer ball with the strength of the artifact belt, stopped her friends from pulling out her weapon and approached Baek Chi-ryeong, who was buried in her pile of books.
“Former leader Baek Chi-ryeong.”
Then, he grabs and lifts her bright green hair, like the blades of grass of Baek Chi-ryeong, who is wriggling in pain as if her intestines are being cut.
Pududeuk-
= Oh…… !=
An eerie bursting sound came from the scalp that could withstand the 60kg load, but Hwanin didn’t care and asked Baekchiryeong, who distorted her face in pain.
“Do I look funny?”
With all of her weight on her hair, Baek Chi-ryeong moaned and panted while glaring at her Hwanin with her widened eyes.
Hwanin said while receiving that gaze with an expressionless expression.
“The people who should receive your resentment are the lord, Gongja, and me, but you only show your anger on your sister. Are you saying that an easy-going person is Baek Ryeo-gang?”
With a bang-!
Kwa Dang Tang!
=Ah!=
Chin Hwan-in, who had bitten her tongue and threw out a thin stream of blood from the corner of her mouth, brushed off a handful of green hair that was caught in her fingers and said.
“Why are you bothering me so much? The perpetrator pretends to be the victim and shouts that he is unfair and pitiful and goes on a rampage, but who can see that favorably?”
= Ugh…….=
“Former leader Baek Chi-ryeong. You’d better keep in mind that everything you can breathe and exhale alive right now is because you have the surname Baek. And that the castle will not protect you blindly.”
=What good is that!!=
Hwanin, who was about to turn around, looked back at Baek Chi-ryeong in a high voice that seemed to come out of the internal organs distorted.
= What’s the use of that! Status too! Honor too! Property too! Everything was taken away, and nothing was left…… !=
Tears flowed down her eyes mixed with anger and sadness in her eyes as she wrote angrily, saying, “I’d rather kill,” Saying that dying to the saint is the only way to make her name known.
Seeing Baekryeogang looking at her sister with sad eyes, Hwanin let out a small sigh and turned to Baek Chiryeong.
“Did you say there was nothing left?”
= Yes! Look at me! Even the castle will be taken away and you will be reduced to a commoner! What is left of me like this!!
“Isn’t there any freedom left?”
= So much…… !=
“The freedom you have now is what Baekryogang wanted even after he died.”
Baek Chi-ryeong, who was in a half-collapsed position, flinched at Hwan-in’s point and looked back at Baeknyeo-gang.
A younger sister with the appearance of a peerless beauty who has been jealous and longed for all her life, restless and anxiously looking at her.
“She wanted no family, no position, no honor. The only thing I want is the freedom to fly freely in the sky and a family where I can feel and give and receive family love.”
= Believe me…….=
“Why can’t you believe it? She’s the one who even threw herself off her spire for her family, who only pushed her.”
=…….=
“In this world, there are people who gain freedom only by giving up their lives. There are people who grew up as orphans under the bridge, overcame violence and hunger, and sprouted in hardships. There are people who were born into a race that everyone else curses as dirty and live hard despite being persecuted.”
Even Baek Chi-ryeong could tell that he initially pointed to the Baengnyeo River. But who are the second and third?
Is there really such a person in the world?
The moment Hwanin’s eyes turned to the women gathered in the living room, Baek Chi-ryeong, who realized that they were in the past, shut her mouth in awe.
“Compared to them, you have knowledge, health, ability, and beautiful wings to fly in the sky. Aren’t you overflowing with what you have? Even so, if you keep thinking that there is nothing, then what you really lack is a sense of peace and contentment.”
Until just before, she wanted to curse the world, but something, the evil man in front of her eyes seemed to drain her miasma like water from the bottom of the poison.
If I refute that statement, I feel like I’m the only one who’s an ugly bitch.
However, if she stays still, she feels gloomy and despairing because all the rich and prestigious movies she had enjoyed until yesterday have disappeared.
Hwan-in’s criticisms pointed out her own shortcomings, and Baek Chi-ryeong, whose anger was bleached at her complicatedly swirling emotions, wanted to just put everything down.
Power is something Even the father who used to rule the world was barely breathing with that kind of face in the past…….
“Sister…….」
Bai Lijiang, like her tragic heroine, half-fallen, bowed her head and carefully called out to her sister, who bowed her head.
“Her sister’s fault… No. All because I threw myself away without thinking about the aftermath…….」
Baek Chi-ryeong cried. Pretending to be nice… No, she’s not pretending to be nice, but she’s really kind, but seeing her sympathize with herself makes her stomach twist at the feeling that her own ugliness and inferiority complex are being stimulated mercilessly.
So the answer came out pointedly.
= What are you Do you sympathize with me now?=
“That, that’s not it…….」
= Or shut up. No matter how much I’ve fallen, it’s not enough to be sympathetic to you who died.
When Baekryeogang becomes sullen at Baekchiryeong’s response, Anne mutters as if she is going to die in disgust.
= Look at what he is talking about. I want to hit it with a hammer.=
After wiping the blood from her mouth with her sleeve, Baek Chi-ryeong staggers from her seat with a determined expression on her face. And she looked straight at Hwanin with her eyes filled with her anger, she said.
= Saint Hwanin. I apologize for the mistakes and rudeness I’ve made to you in the past. This is the truth without a single lie.=
Just like the first time I saw him, his attitude was upright and confident.
= That’s all I wanted to tell you. To convey these words…… I wanted to meet you so much, but my brother stubbornly stopped me from meeting you, and you didn’t even listen to me.
“You brought it upon yourself. If you had behaved normally, Gong Baek would not have stood in your way like that.”
=…….=
To attack only with irrefutable words, all of them are hateful men.
Baek Chi-ryeong chewed on her anger and murmured.
= I wanted to preserve my honor, but…… As you said, I lost everything trying to protect my modest pride.=
She’s not quite a nerd.
There was something of her realization in her own story, so maybe she’s putting her frustration away and having that kind of attitude.
So Hwanin is a little bit, but Baekchiryeong liked her.
I had a desire to bully and bully him.
Tears are drawn out by bullying, or making a person feel humiliated and humiliated is only interesting when the other person deserves it.
Dealing with someone who is ugly, has no ability, and has a bad personality is just a waste of time.
= My apologies to you are with my father, oh…… As Ravi said, I swear I will do your will. Please tell me what you would like me to do.=
“…….”
Hwanin stood upright and thought for a moment as Baek Chi-ryeong sent her lofty eyes.
In fact, if you ask her if she is guilty of her mortal sin, the answer is no.
From her own point of view, she is a woman who is arrogant and out of sight, but when she considers her position and status, what Baek Chi-ryeong did is understandable.
Killing the villagers in Krabin Village was to punish the high-ranking spirit master for committing a crime.
The knights under the direct control of the lord of the city, and the lord’s children, of course, had the right to make a summary judgment.
What the 21st Execution Battalion did to her was the dogma of a guy who tried to be overly loyal to her, and her direction was completely wrong, but it was true that she wanted to apologize.
Therefore, her Hwanin had to come up with a suitable punishment that would not cross the line in her resentment even while she felt her humiliation.
Well, even if you hit Baek Chi-ryeong’s head and drop it, it wouldn’t be a big problem given the attitudes of Baek Jung-ik and Baek Jung-gang. However, it is certain that there will be problems with Baek Ryogang, who is trying to build a good relationship.
So she has to punish Baek Chi-ryeong to feel her humiliation without holding her grudge…….
‘Due to the nature of the people of this country who are obsessed with pride and honor, it would be extremely humiliating and a punishment that would make you kick the blanket every time you think about it.’
I just remembered something suitable.
Hwanin said in a calm manner.
“Then let’s start by writing a letter of reflection.”
=…… Uh, what… ?=
Seeing Baek Chi-ryeong in dismay, Hwan-in smiles and kindly explains.
“It was called reflection. Beginning with what you did in Kravin Village and ending up here today, ‘everything’ that happened in the meantime, without exception, write a ‘repentance letter’ full of apology.”
=…….=
“Until I say I’m done, I’ll write here on the bare floor, on my knees, on my stomach.”
Baek Chi-ryeong’s white face turns red at the gesture of pointing to the middle of the living room, and her eyes and the area around her mouth begin to twitch.
Whoa, whoa……. Taking a long trembling breath, Baek Chi-ryeong stammered and opened her mouth as if she was barely maintaining her face. No, she was trying to negotiate.
= Oh no…… Is it okay if I just treat myself as a maid or a no-slave!?=
“It’s okay. They didn’t commit a mortal crime, but they dug out their eyes and cut off their limbs and dragged them around for the rest of their lives to make fun of them. Even the corpse was left to be fornicated by an animal. There is no need to let her status go down to the bottom like that.”
If you don’t want to see her head down and her body being ravaged by the pricks of dogs, horses, and beasts, get on her knees in the middle of the living room and write a letter of self-reflection.
Chilled by the eerie example, Baek Chi-ryeong, who shook her shoulders, felt her heart pound and thump, and looked back at the bare floor her Hwanin’s finger was pointing at.
The last story of Hwanin flew into the back of Baek Chi-ryeong’s head.
“It will be a handwritten letter of self-reflection by the lady of a noble family that will spread throughout the world, so you should write it with all your heart.”
Hwanin laughed inwardly as he saw her expression filled with confidence turned into humiliation and despair.
The sight of a young lady who looked like her knees had never touched the ground in her entire life lying down like a dog on the bare floor and writing something on a piece of paper became quite a delightful eye candy.
= Uh…… Grunt…… Wow….=
= Uh-huh, to gnaw your teeth at a situation where even if you have a heart of apology, it won’t be enough. Do you want to kneel down in the corridor where attendants and maids come and go and write a letter of regret?
= Oh?! No! Not like that! I hope you don’t misunderstand, it’s because of your anger towards me!
Surprised by the sound of a thump, the massive hammer head hitting the side, Baek Chi-ryeong hurriedly shakes her hand and shakes her head.
Then, she lowers her head so that her nose touches the paper, and writes down her reflections.
= Write slowly. As if embroidering stitch by stitch, with a sincere apology, huh?=
=That’s right!=
Hwanin, who had been watching Anne sweat profusely while receiving her cravings, looked back at her at her words that her yurupa smiled beside her.
=How did you come up with a punishment that humiliates people like this?=
“Physical pain or abuse is just an additive to a person like that woman who endures hardships with proof that she is right. In order to humiliate people mentally enough to not be able to think of such a thing, they need a means to break their strong pride in half…….”
When had the young lady of the lord’s family ever been subjected to such corporal punishment? At best, it would have ended with just looking at the wall and reflecting on the tutor or admonishing him.
When I say that’s the reason for making fewer reflections with that posture, Yurpa nods her head and agrees.
= Indeed. It’s just that even ordinary children would hardly have had the experience of writing a letter of reflection like that. How is Lady Ligang?=
“Me too…… I’ve never seen such punishment….”
=Will it work for that woman?=
“My older sister is a person with more pride than anyone else. She probably wants to die of shame by now.”
= Hey! You didn’t write it right?!=
=Muh, why are you doing that?!=
= What is the text of the reflection statement! ‘I think I made a mistake, so I’m reflecting.’?! This is very responsible evasion is ingrained in the body!=
=…….=
= Who are you and what did you do wrong! How will he rectify the aftermath of his own mistakes? What will you do to avoid making that mistake again? It means write the object word correctly!=
=Okay, I was wrong. I’ve never written an apology before…….=
= I really watch you with my eyes wide open. If you cheat a little or cheat a little, I’ll put a seat in front of the central fountain on Praber Street and ask you to reflect less!=
=… ?! Again, I’ll do it right! Because I made a mistake, I’ll write it again, so please, at least that…… !=
Baek Ryeo-gang looks at Baek Chi-ryeong with surprised eyes as she grabs Anne’s pants crotch in surprise.
Seeing her innocent and kind side, her Hwanin thought that after a while, her corporal punishment to be inflicted on her at night should not be seen by her Baekryugang.
Then, in a voice so small that Baek Chi-ryeong couldn’t hear her, she spoke to Baek Li-gang.
“It is because of you, Li Kang, that she is keeping her alive.”
“…… Yes?”
“Because if Baek Chi-ryeong dies, she will suffer because it is your fault. It was for you that I saved the lord. You will be sad if he goes mad and dies.”
“…….”
Bai Lijiang wiggled his fingers with a surprised and embarrassed face.
I haven’t done anything, but why does Hwanin-nim take care of me like this?
“I don’t know either.”
「Eh.」
Could it be that she spilled her inner feelings without even realizing it?
Hwanin, who turned her head away from Baek Ryogang, who was embarrassed as she covered her cheeks with her hands, watched Baek Chi-ryeong fill her blank paper with her mouth tightly shut in the middle of Anne’s interruption.
“One thing is for sure, I want to earn your trust as a colleague.”
“Colleague…….”
“You will act with us from now on. If you do, you will have something to help you with. What we need most in such a situation is trust and trust in each other.”
“…….”
“It is also because I want you to be my true companion that I saved the lord, accepted the apology of Baek Gong, and ended it with a letter of remorse instead of beheading that woman.”
Baek Ryogang looked at Hwanin and put his hands on his chest and said,
“Hwanin-nim said I could help you… You said it before. Can I really, really die and become a soul be of any help to Hwan-in? … ?”
“Lygang. I cheat when necessary, but at least I don’t lie to my colleagues.”
She knew that too. His women, Isilite, Anne, Yurpa, and Hwanyeon trust him more than anyone else.
“It’s difficult to talk here, and if you go out of town, I’ll tell you too. Then you will understand that you can help me too.”
“…… Yes!”
Is he really able to help Hwanin-nim as a ghost?
If so, if only it could be so…… Thinking that he would be very happy, Baek Ryogang gave Hwanin a heartfelt smile.
