122 – I remembered.
Zegalin was confused.
Has she lost so much blood that she sees herself in vain?
Is she making a mistake in judgment because it is difficult to breathe with broken bones?
But she soon realizes that the words that follow are true.
“Head of the house.”
“…… Ah.”
“I am the head of the family. She would have told me not to call him father. “Have you forgotten it already?”
That’s right.
That’s right.
I was so embarrassed that I ended up making a mistake.
A bastard who is not recognized as a proper member of the family.
That is Zhuge Lin himself.
As she felt a strange sense of bitterness, she realized even more that the person in front of her was her father.
That cold attitude.
He does not see himself as a child.
That cold action actually made me feel more relieved.
Even a villain with the ability to ‘disguise’ cannot imitate him as well as I can.
‘…… ‘
But soon her relief turned to her doubts.
What the hell… why?
No, how before that?
Did she find this place where she is?
Someone has a signal……
“…… Ah.”
In an instant, Zhugelin realized.
I see.
Rune…
Sister Rune…
A precious family, not related by blood, who always takes care of her and her Eunbyeol…
“… Dead… “That’s it.”
A signal goes off the moment the family’s hisuin dies.
In addition, Rune’s ultimate skill had a strong unique wavelength.
Based on that, she probably tracked where she was.
Je Galin lowered her head in her despair.
It was sad, and her heartbreaking heart tore through her insides.
“What are you doing? “Hurry up and get on.”
“…… “
But the other person did not consider her feelings at all.
Jegalin quietly enters the room.
She expressed her short condolences to Rune during the five minutes she was in her car.
*
Silence continues.
Uncomfortable, yet extremely uncomfortable.
Such crazy silence flows between the two.
“… Cough.”
Zegalin coughed.
There is very little blood mixed in.
Although she continued to be careful.
In the end, it appears that internal injuries occurred.
I quietly looked away.
Sitting there was Zhuge Sik, who did not respond even though he saw the blood on her hands.
I smile bitterly.
Even thinking about it myself, it was foolish.
She decided not to acknowledge him as her father.
I decided not to crave affection.
The only family members are Eunbyeol and Rune.
I decided to only acknowledge these two people.
She was so dumbfounded that she was hoping for a warm word.
A fleeting moment.
Zegalin recalled an old thought of hers.
A memory similar to now, but more terrible.
‘… It was definitely like that back then.’
Precious little brother.
An old memory of going to the river to play with Jegal Eunbyeol.
The old days when we were 12 and 7 years old.
I don’t remember the detailed intermediate process.
The only thing that comes to mind is that we both went out to have fun and came back completely ruined.
‘… Did you fall while playing near the water?’
Probably so.
The bottom line is that both of them were injured here and there.
Well, it’s a situation that can easily happen to a child.
It’s not a fight or anything, but a story about walking around and falling.
This is something that everyone has experienced at least once.
But from that day on, when Jegalin returned holding his younger brother’s hand, he painfully realized his position in his family.
-Party-!
A painful burning sensation occurs in the hand, as if it were heated by fire.
He fell to the floor after being hit by it, and his younger brother, who was watching, cried and cried.
-What a bastard! How dare you let your legitimate son, the heir to the family, get hurt!!?
A father who is very angry.
Relatives watching from the side as if it were natural.
The biological mother of her younger brother, who despises her as if she sees bugs, and the mistress of the family.
“…… “
And……
My mother glared at me without saying anything.
Why are you glaring at me?
Isn’t it natural for a mother to protect her?
As a child, Zegalin was much more saddened by this than his father’s unholy spirit.
I found out only later.
She said that her mother was not affectionate towards her from the beginning.
My mother was born as the daughter of a maid.
Without notice, she secretly crawled into her father’s bedroom while he was sleeping with the purpose of rising in social status.
Even though she was of low birth, she succeeded in having a child, so she took the position of her concubine.
My mother was always anxious after that.
Fear of being abandoned by her father.
I’m afraid of being abandoned by my family.
He is afraid of losing everything he enjoys.
That’s why I hated myself for being a hindrance rather than a help.
‘…… ‘
Jegalin, whose thoughts had reached that point, slowly rubbed his forehead.
She sighs, drowning out her pain so as not to offend her father, or rather, the head of the family.
‘… I guess it’s because it hurts.’
After all, people seem to think all sorts of things when their body is weak.
Normally, I would never remember such an unbelievable memory.
‘Anyway, what happened after that… ?’
Ah, that’s right.
Proper treatment as well.
I couldn’t even get food.
I was locked in the warehouse for several days.
A barn infested with rats and bugs.
I wrapped myself in straw and shivered without even a proper blanket.
‘…… ‘
Originally, the story would end here.
After that, it’s an obvious story.
A boring life just like that.
Luckily, I have excellent abilities.
A life lived after receiving recognition and getting a job as an instructor.
That is who you are.
But there was one strange thing.
‘… For sure… ‘
There was definitely something more.
He was the reason he came to care for and love his younger brother.
It was a time when Zhuge Lin was looking back on his memories for a long time.
She was barely able to break out of her sentimentality when she heard her own voice.
“… “This is ridiculous.”
“…… !”
For a moment, she thought she had heard wrong.
She was so shocked that she opened her eyes wide and looked to the side.
“It’s ugly.”
Jegal expressionlessly looking at the window.
But it was definitely the words that came out of his mouth.
He then handed me a handkerchief from his arms.
“First, at least wipe your face with it.”
“…… “
I hesitated for a moment because I couldn’t believe it.
“What, how long are you going to keep holding it?”
“… Ah.”
Zegalin could barely calm his startled heart and stuttered as he took his handkerchief.
Then he glanced.
It was hard to see what expression he was making because he was looking out the window.
He is like Zhuge.
Not even once did he act like a father.
From Noble mtl dot com
He is a person to whom no degree is given.
That’s why it was unfamiliar.
The warmth I received for the first time.
‘… ….’
Zegalin slowly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, hiding his red face.
I cleaned up my disheveled face and swept away blood stains from various places.
Nevertheless, I calmly thought about the future.
‘Let’s be calm… There is no time for sentimentality.’
I suppress the feeling of revenge building up in my heart.
Calmly. Think wisely about what to do.
‘First we have to go back to the academy.’
There I had to talk to the president and ask for help.
Now that we have gathered a certain amount of evidence, it is likely that the overseas ‘Hero League’ will take a heavy step.
Of course, associations are not allowed.
I received a sufficient explanation from Choi Si-woo.
She knew very well how much of a den of evil that place was, and how much of a corrupt group they were under the guise of villains.
*
It was that moment.
“Cough…” !”
Zegalin suddenly coughed and inadvertently covered it with the back of his hand.
Wipe your mouth and check underneath.
“…… !”
Immediately, my body suddenly became stiff.
The back of the hand was full of large amounts of blood.
Amount of bleeding that clearly could not have occurred due to the previous injury.
‘… No way.’
Slowly but surely, she turned her head.
Before he knew it, Zhuge Sik was there looking at him.
“You… dare.”
His body is shaking.
As if he couldn’t be more angry, his entire body was full of wrath.
But the most impressive thing is the eyes.
‘… Beast.’
It was definitely not a human eye.
Animals, not domestic animals,
That was the look in the eyes of an old dog that had given up thinking after eating the food given by its owner for a long time.
“How dare we dare? We have been helped for generations… “Damage his body?”
A single word without knowing the context.
A single word without any context.
But that was enough.
The doubts and doubts that remained in Jegalin’s mind solidified into a clear puzzle and filled in the missing parts.
Why is my father so incompetent?
The head of the family, Zhuge Shik.
Do you still hold a high position in politics?
Why are you at odds with the association so much?
‘… That’s what it was like.’
Finally… Why was the bishop so relaxed?
The brilliant Zegalin understood everything.
“Cough…” Cough.”
Hematemesis is getting worse.
Did they put poison on the handkerchief?
It was a very effective poison.
Zegalin chose to dig up a little bit of information rather than focus on deciphering.
“… For a long time… Contact with the bishop… There was… yo. This?”
Jegal Sik got angry at Jegalin’s trembling words.
“You lowly bastard! “Don’t call him by his second name carelessly!”
He continued to shout.
It was so loud that my head was buzzing.
“You damn bastard! I can’t repay the favor of giving birth to me, feeding me, and raising me… How dare you, how dare you make it out of his sight? Uh!!”
What a damn old man.
Did you boil and eat a train barrel?
It was still loud.
“I want to kill you right now, but he said it!”
I have already made enough sacrifices.
I don’t want to see any more blood.
“Instead, I said that since I knew too much, I would put it away for the time being.”
Zhuge Shik, who had said everything with a huff, still lifted his legs with his old body, as if he could not bear his anger.
Wow!
“Wow… !”
A shallow moan escapes from Zegalin’s mouth.
It was a skinny thigh with no muscles, but it had a rust-colored color.
It was probably a kick strengthened with magical power.
“He told me to take you to the hospital, but I can’t do that! Damn b*tch, lowly b*tch, like her mother, all she can do is bewitch men with her s*xy body and become a parasite! How can you even refuse to be asked to marry someone! In the end, you are committing such an immoral act!”
Puck!, Puck!, Puck!
Because his mind was dazed by the poison, Zhugelin was hit defenseless.
A crackling sound is heard.
All he could do was gasp as his ribs and several other ribs were broken.
Boom!
In the end, the back door that could not hold out opens wide.
Sharp!
Jegalin, who was spread out like trash on the street, rolled around on the cold road for a long time.
“… “Hmph, you old bastard.”
Jegal-sik, who was watching, closed the door.
It was a cold attitude that said it didn’t matter whether he died or not.
“…… Cough. “Gagging.”
The sound of a vehicle leaving is heard.
Jegalin raised his head with all his strength.
Situational judgment and information collection.
It was something that had to be given the highest priority.
‘… Fortunately, we are out of the slums.’
Because it is late at night, it will be discovered late.
It’s a place where people walk around… Maybe you can call for rescue.
‘… No, I guess I’ll die from addiction before that.’
In a cloudy mind.
Jegalin had many thoughts.
Discussion takes place within the brain about what to do.
Your own misery and burning anger and hatred.
I feel sorry for Choi Si-woo.
Various other things come to mind.
But soon, only one thought filled my mind.
‘… ‘The day I was locked in the warehouse.’
After that……
After that……
Obviously, what happened?
‘… Ah.’
I remembered.
The cold warehouse floor.
The next night I couldn’t even drink a sip of proper water.
Along with a rattling sound, a little girl came in whimpering beyond the window.
‘… Eunbyul was cute.’
The girl, with food and drink wrapped tightly behind her and tied with a rope, rolled towards her, rolling around on the dirty dusty floor.
“Huh, huh!”
I cried loudly.
“Oh, my sister! “Oh my sister!!”
I’m sorry. Sorry.
I’m sorry!!
‘…… ‘
I cried so sadly.
That’s so funny.
Because it was so funny.
I’m so thankful for that.
I couldn’t bear to get angry.
She couldn’t bear to complain.
I couldn’t bear to hate him.
Zegalin still thinks.
If that day didn’t exist.
She clearly hated even her younger brother.
Obviously… She said she would have become a devil who would do anything to burn Zhuge family.
‘… It’s cold.’
Zegalin, thinking of her sister, slowly curled up around her.
You can hear the distinctive fluttering sound of paper fluttering.
It unfolds with a rattle.
Some of the abilities Choi Si-woo had bestowed upon him were scattered there.
Zegalin, who watched silently, grabbed one of her sheets with her hand.
Using the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth as ink, she used her remaining mental power to draw a small symbol.
‘… Choi Si-woo, please take notice.’
Jegalin gave his last strength.
She slowly closed her eyes.
She thought before losing consciousness.
‘I’m sorry. Rune.’
And
‘…… Love you.’
Eunbyeol.
