Chapter 50 – Reconciliation
A huge and rugged mountain range where an evil old dragon lived a hundred years ago.
Thorn Mountains.
Because the mountain ridge looked like a knife stuck upside down, the villagers who settled in the area called it the Blade’s Edge Mountains.
The Manchu tribes were fighting a long war of conquest in the highlands located in the mountains. They were a cavalry people who learned how to ride a horse as soon as they took their toes.
They once dominated the western plains, but were pushed back by the Empire’s territorial expansion war and hid in the Blade’s Edge Mountains at the western end, where they were now engaged in a war between dozens and hundreds of tribes.
However, among them, there are bound to be people with a rebellious temperament, so a tribe of tribesmen who had not left the highlands for nearly a hundred years crossed the mountains and began to see the plains of the western part of the empire.
Doo doo doo doo-
The sound of the horse’s hooves hitting the floor resonated.
An old man who woke up from a nap because of back pain came out of the cabin tapping his back.
“Eh, what does this mean…?”
Bright red flames were coming up from all sides. The wooden fences surrounding the village were engulfed in flames, breaking and collapsing.
“Uh…?”
Hee hee-
Through the collapsed wooden fence, cavalry armed with swords poured in.
“Attack···! It’s an attack aaaaa!
The old man shouted at the top of his voice. Startled by the sound, people ran out of the cabin in a hurry.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding-
The sound of copper bells being struck came from all directions.
People who have just woken up and rub their sleepy eyes. They shouted when they saw the cavalry coming through the rice field on horseback.
Eh, it’s the bandits!
Run away!
The old village chief somehow tried to gather the men and fight against them, but the horde of bandits rode in, trampled on the buds, and brandished their curved swords mercilessly.
Aaaaagh…!
Help me…!
“Kill me…! Kill the man…! Rape women…! Haha…!”
A man on a horse groaned.
The small mountain village was instantly engulfed in horror and turned to ashes, and all the men were decapitated like cattle, and their hearts were cut to death.
Screams, shouts, and women’s weeping cries rang out.
Bodies were scattered on the floor. The villagers also found and slaughtered all the children hiding inside the hut and in the latrine pit.
Before sunrise – Manchurian warriors grabbed women by their hair, dragged them around, and ate grains of rice and meat from barns.
After a day’s rest sitting on the heap of ashes, the band of bandits went straight to the next village.
In the direction they were heading, there was definitely Seojun and Ian’s village – Herero.

After finishing the field work, Jack and Ian trudged back home.
I’ve been skipping meals for the past few days and haven’t been able to sleep properly, so my face is pale. Her bright golden hair was frizzy, and her eyes were black.
Jack was worried about his son’s condition, but Ian said he was fine and didn’t skip the field work.
I was in the middle of returning home along the road with the sunset behind my back after finishing today’s work.
Arriving in front of the house, the two find someone they haven’t met in the past few days…
“Uh···? Seo, Seo-joon hyung?”
It was Seojun.
Tongue ah ah ah ah ah ah…!
It was so nice to see him, he didn’t even know that one of his shoes was coming off, so he rushed to Seo-joon’s arms.
Seo-joon patted the guy’s back and laughed haha. In the distance, Jack smiled as he walked with his cart.
“Guy···. Why did you procrastinate when you were going to reconcile? It’s good to see you after a long time!”
At Jack’s words, Seo-joon shrugged his shoulders.
Next to the two people who had met after a long time, Lily was also standing awkwardly. She was red all over her face, and her forelock was disheveled.
“Lily? You ask why is her face so red? Did you catch a cold?”
Lily waved her hand at Jack’s question.
I think it’s just because it’s a little hot… She laughed awkwardly and muttered.
Only then did Ian fall from Seo-jun’s arms and hug Lily with teardrops hanging from the corners of his eyes. She looked like there was no way to hide her joy.
Oh…! Lily was surprised, but she held him in her arms and she patted his back.
“Lily…! Seojun hyung is back. Did I know it would happen soon…? Haha···!”
“…Yes, that’s good…!”
Would it be that good… Because Ian liked it, a smile bloomed on Lily’s lips. It was because of her own sacrifice, but she didn’t dare to vote like that.
Seo-jun, who was watching the two of them, laughed and spit out these words.
“It’s all thanks to Lily. He asked for it.”
“What…?”
At Seo-jun’s sudden words, Lily turned around at him.
She wanted to stop Seo-jun’s mouth immediately, but she couldn’t even run to it because she was noticing Ian, and only her feet stomped. I wonder what he might say – he looked nervous.
When Ian asked what he was talking about, Seo-joon looked at the nervous Lily and continued.
“Lily came to me and asked for it. I won’t interfere with the training from now on, so please take a look at the training again… Instead, please don’t hit me too hard, okay. What. I decided to make you understand.”
“Is-is that true, Lily…?”
As Ian looked at Lily, her eyes widening, she shook her head bewildered.
Lily…!
If he was so grateful, Ian hugged Lily with her tears streaming down her face.
Lily, who did not know that he would be so moved, patted Ian’s back as he started to cry.
Ian laughed while crying.
It must be because I am so fortunate, thankful, and happy again.
He smiled so brightly for the first time in a while, and Lily was clearly happy.
Lily patted Ian’s back and glanced at Seo-joon. She awkwardly nods her head… It was an expression of thanks. Seo-joon shook her head, saying that it was okay.
Then, leaving the two of them behind, she approached Sophia, who was lighting a pot alone in the kitchen.
“…”
She had been watching Seo-joon’s eyes all the time. As he entered the kitchen, eyes flew in all directions. I want to avoid it, but I can’t avoid it because I have to see the fire.
Seo-joon whispered as he approached Sofia, who was crouching down and lighting up a poker.
“Mom.”
“Uh, yes… Yes, Seojun. Long time no see···.”
Sophia smiled awkwardly in response.
“Yes, Mom, I missed you.”
“That’s a lie…”
Seo-joon widened her eyes at Sophia’s small muttering.
Seeing her cheeks flushed red and her lips sticking out, she looked like she was sulking. The fact that he didn’t come for the past few days has become an unintentional neglect play.
Bitches are cute…
Seo-joon hugged her tightly.
“Oh no…! Ha, Ha Seo-joon…!”
She quickly pushed away Seo-joon, who hugged her around the waist and massaged her breasts.
And then, I trimmed the color and looked to see if anyone had seen it. Ian and Lily were embracing each other and whispering their love, while Jack was busy dusting and tidying up his farm equipment.
Exhaling her whoop-relief, Sophia put her hands on her waist and made her stern expression.
“Seojunie, you… I told her not to do that in front of her family. Ah…!”
“Yes, Mom.”
“Answer only once!”
Sophia bruises again with her face reddened. She doesn’t tell me not to call her mom anymore.
By the way, when we hugged her earlier, her nipples seemed to swell, but it must have been accumulated from holding back. But what can I do? Seo-joon is not her body that can satisfy her now.
Still, she might be able to provide some comfort.
Seeing that Jack hadn’t come out of the warehouse yet, Seo-joon kissed Sofia on the lips.
After being kissed by a thief, Sophia covered her lips in surprise and looked around. With a very red face, she told him not to do it – slapped Seo-joon’s chest with her fist.
“Sophia- what’s for dinner tonight?”
Just then Jack came out of the shed and took off his straw hat and hung it on the wall.
Sophia was surprised and quickly left Seo-jun’s side, and Seo-joon licked her lips as if regretting it.
“Ah, oh, today is chicken stew…!”
“Oh, that’s nice…?”
Jack didn’t seem to notice anything about Sophia, who looked visibly flustered. Humming his hum, he took off his boots, dusted the sand outside, hung his overcoat on a hanger, and sat down at the table.
Seo-Jun smiled silently and helped prepare dinner by Sophia’s side, who occasionally glared at Seo-Jun with her blushing face.
When dinner was served, she called the couple of lovebirds outside.
“Let’s eat, kids!”
When the two men and women entered the room and sat down, Seojun and Sofia, who had put the food down on the table, also started eating.
Since it had been a long time since everyone gathered together for a meal, the family members who started talking about this and that seemed more friendly.
Seo-joon, who was bored with that, took off one of his shoes and subtly stretched out his foot and tickled Sophia’s shin under the top.
At first, she wondered if someone had touched her by mistake, but when she felt his foot tickling his leg playfully, she realized that it was Seo-jun’s fault.
“…”
Sophia stops the spoon and glares at Seo-joon with his face reddened. Seo-joon winked at Jack and the others, telling them not to show off with a wink.
Swallowing – Sophia swallowed and began to sloppily open the spoon again.
Seo-joon put his feet deeper and began to lift his skirt.
