Surviving the Romance Fantasy

In Gwi-bi looked at the tip of her chin for a while and pondered, then grabbed Seol Tae-pyeong by the collar.

“Then you take off your clothes.”

“….yes?”

– Kwagagak

The morning air rushed into the crypt.

It was only dawn when the sky had just begun to turn blue, but having been in the dungeon all night, that alone was dazzling.

What came out of the crypt were two people.

Seol Tae-pyeong, who had completely taken off his top, was carrying a hyeondang over one shoulder, and with the other hand he was holding a cold heavy sword.

And, in places where the skin was exposed, torn cloth was rolled up here and there. Seol Tae-pyeong’s clothes were cut and wrapped here and there.

He used the collar of his palace robe to tie up the wounds of the Hyeondang, and he was forced to look like this.

“No matter how much we cover ourselves, we cannot be completely free from the demon’s blood.”

“I know. If this is resolved with first aid, the ghost hunters won’t have to go through that trouble.”

Dawn breaks. The morning sun drives away the yin energy of Mt. Baeksak.

The sun’s rays also cast off the shadows cast in the forest, revealing the face of the Ingwibi, standing firmly on top of the crypt.

“okay. don’t ask me Did you say that one person could slash up to how many ghosts?”

“If one strong man cuts down about ten enemies, it will reach its limit.”

“Then, I’ll have to aim for twenty.”

At that point, you’ll reach Taehwajeong.

The way she talked like that while bathing in the light of dawn was really dignified, and indeed, she was a typical princess.

“You clearly told me that. If you do not distinguish between courage and recklessness, you will be in great trouble later.”

“I may have been drawn to the atmosphere and made an over-the-top mantra.”

“Well, I don’t think I was presumptuous. However, I don’t know why, but now I feel like I can cut down countless ghosts and reach Taehwajeong.”

“…”

“Perhaps because you are there.”

Should I say that her calmly acknowledgment while closing her eyes is also an in-gwibi-like appearance?

“Is this courage or recklessness? It is still too difficult for me to differentiate between the two in the first place. Even if you look like this, the days you have lived are too short.”

“…”

“But I believe this is courage.”

When I open my eyes again, speculation is about to come up in those red eyes again. The night is coming to an end.

“Yes, it is a very strange feeling.”

Enjoy the light of the rising dawn and the winter air that cools your prayers. And then, the Ingwibi laughed. As expected, that cahahahahaha sound of laughter seemed to be intoxicating only in front of comfortable opponents.

“Having you by my side, I have a certain certainty that I will definitely survive.”

That being said, in the end, the only thing that comes to mind is one person.

He was probably the one who was sweating profusely to save the crown prince at this point.

A heroine with a superhuman temperament who survives without losing her will in any extreme situation comes to mind.

Perhaps because of that, Seol Tae-pyeong answered with a grin.

“It seems to be hereditary.”

After saying that, the two of them run through the forest covered with demons.

cut, cut again.

Climbing trees, climbing over sand.

Cutting through the air at dawn, pushing over the procession of flying spirits. Climb Baeksaksan Mountain and climb again.

The group of ghosts rushing at us is much larger than expected. The spirits of the spirits are drained from the rising sun. But even taking that into consideration, it’s overpowering.

Even so, the two do not stop cutting and cutting again.

Screaming, covering the wounds, grabbing the handle of the sword and running side by side.

The sword of the Ingwibi splits the ghost that rushes behind Seol Tae-pyeong.

After that, Seol Tae-pyeong grabbed In Gwi-bi’s wrist as she was about to lose her balance and fall.

Thinking it’s worth it, I continue to jump, step by step, ignoring the screams of my whole body.

However, what blocks the way is the gigantic size of the secondary ears.

The newborn’s head makes a grotesque cry, and its numerous limbs wriggle. Numerous low-class ears also chime around it.

However, the steps of the two did not slow down.

The sun rises behind the top of Baeksak Mountain.

Using that as a milestone, he continued to swing his sword and run.

*

Dawn broke.

Future led hundreds of soldiers and stood upright in front of Taehwa Pavilion. Almost all of them were swept away by landslides, leaving only traces.

The fog was completely cleared by the white line’s magic, and the ghost hunters near the imperial castle were also wanted as soon as possible.

Although the accident happened, the conditions were finally prepared to rescue the people who were swept away by the landslide in one night. Even this would have been delayed if it had not been for the help of ringworm.

First of all, I had to find the prince somehow.

If you are caught in a landslide like this, it is difficult to be sure of your survival. However, as long as there was hope, we had to move as quickly as possible.

“First, start near Taehwajeong Pavilion, and go down to the demons…!”

It was the moment when the future shouted that and tried to lead the surrounding forces.

-Teouk

Riding on the traces of earth and sand that had pushed Taehwajeong down, a man’s arm came up. The hand was bloody.

It looked like it came up on the trail of a landslide.

The man who clenched his teeth and climbed the cliff toward Taehwajeong and stood upright was Seol Tae-pyeong, whose entire body was covered in blood.

“I-that’s…!”

Future was startled and jumped off the horse.

Standing staggeringly in front of the cliff of Taehwajeong, Seol Tae-pyeong was wearing a moribund lady-in-waiting on one shoulder, carrying a ghost’s blood-stained robe on her back, and wearing a heavy Korean heavy sword on her waist.

Just by standing there, blood was flowing down and making my feet wet. However, he is holding on to his legs and standing with his head down.

Its appearance was to the extent that it could be seen as a dead human being standing still.

“lawmaker! Call the legislator! Right Now! Bring the councilor ASAP!”

Mirae ran out and ordered the soldiers in a loud voice.

– Cheeky Duck

After hearing the voice of the future, Seol Tae-pyeong fell slowly onto the stone floor.

‘This guy… belongs to the White House…!’

It was the moment when Mi-rae, who ran out, looked at Seol Tae-pyeong, who had fallen out with the two girls.

Over the cliff, you can see the bloodstains of the road he climbed up. As I followed my gaze below it, I had no choice but to gulp dry saliva with my eyes wide open.

The soldiers following the future also had no choice but to look down and freeze.

‘Oh… is this… crazy…’

Baeksak Mountain’s corpses were piled up like a mountain, bathed in the sunlight at dawn.

And in the center, a huge secondary ear that even ghost hunters struggle with was split into two vertically.

The cut surface is covered with cold ice and is frozen cold.

It was a sight that could easily guess what had happened.

It was a sign of struggling to survive.

“Looks like a lot of work. Compared to when I was sitting, it definitely seems to be a much busier seat.”

I couldn’t sleep for several nights because I was trying to figure out the accident that happened during this birthday celebration.

When Xiang Xi led his tired body into the office of the Red Palace, a passenger had arrived and was sitting at the desk looking at some bamboo scrolls.

“General Jung. What are you doing to the Red Palace?”

“I was having a little talk with my civil servants, and I ran out because of the frustration. It’s definitely a place where I worked for a long time, so I feel comfortable sitting in the enemy’s palace. The expressions of the warriors are also good.”

Deputy General Jeong Seo-tae.

He originally sat in the position of commander of the Red Palace, but rose to the position of general starting with the rebellion of Hwayongseolga. At that time, many general-level military commanders died, so he succeeded a little earlier.

Along with the rugged body, the impression that looks exciting makes opponents feel intimidated with only spirit.

There will be no other person so well suited to the title of captain. That kind of feeling made me come out of nowhere.

“This time, because the demons were rampaging, all the high-ranking officials gathered and started a commotion.”

“Roughly, everything that needs to be fixed has been fixed. The crown prince was also unharmed.”

“okay. Judging from the tired look on your face, the warriors in the palace must have suffered a lot too.”

Saying that, he gulped down a bottle of alcohol lying next to him. It felt like I was drinking alcohol.

He slammed the bottle on the wooden table with a puhahahaha sound and continued with a slightly lower tone.

“A ghost came out of Mt. Baeksak. I never thought I would see something like this in my lifetime.”

“I also think it’s not serious.”

“It must be that the spirit of the Celestial Dragon has faded.”

“…”

“Well, nothing big will happen right now. I’m worried. Off.”

After a big burp, I look out the window.

“Princess Ahyeon will take care of it. We are guys whose job is to wield a sword, so let’s not worry about that.”

“In the first place, why did you come all the way to the enemy palace when you belong to the main palace now…”

“Anyway, they treat me like an uninvited guest here too. Tsk tsk. What I don’t know about this grace is that when I was small, I had a cute taste.”

“General Jung…”

“Well, the samurai you talked about also came up at the party meeting. I’m here to tell you.”

Mirae showed interest by resting her chin on those words.

“That baekseon palace madman. He cut down hundreds of ghosts in one night? The generals under my command all had their mouths wide open.”

Jeong Seo-tae gulped down his drink once more, and continued talking with a sigh.

“He’s got some skills, but he’s not wearing the military uniform of the enemy palace. Could our boss have neglected his duties too much? Tsk tsk.”

“I knew. We also shared stories. However, it was just that he was not a talented person to be recruited into the enemy palace.”

“Once he was given the position of commander-in-chief, this guy has risen to the top of his eyes in the future. Do you know how common it is to know how to use a knife?”

“It’s not that my eyes are high, I’m not someone worthy of entering the enemy’s palace in the first place. I don’t know if I get older later.”

Whenever I passed by Baekseon Palace while patrolling the outer palace, the man was always sitting on the floor, diligently cleaning or mending something.

Sometimes I’m sweeping the front yard with rain, sometimes I’m repairing the fence, sometimes I’m drying the weeds…

The way he cherished Baekseon Palace seemed like it was my mission to protect it.

“Perhaps when the time comes, I will come out of the White House on my own. It’s the military uniform of the enemy palace. You can put it on at that time. Even if it looks like that in the first place, it doesn’t matter how old you are.”

“Well, anyway, he saved the princess this time, and thanks to the fact that he cut down quite a few ghosts, the crown prince’s rescue was also sped up. When I asked if it would be good to reward her appropriately, the civil servants of the main palace held her back.”

“…Because you’re from the Hwa-Yong Seol family?”

“The sin of trying to trample on the emperor once is not easily forgotten, even after generations have passed. You don’t know this guy, do you?”

Seol Yi-mun, the family head of Hwa-yong-seol.

On a rainy day, the horror of walking through the front gate of the main palace alone with a gun gun is probably imprinted as a nightmare in the memories of these high-ranking officials of Cheongdo Palace.

Seol Tae-pyeong’s extraordinary sword skills may have reminded him of Seol Yi-mun.

Such are the shackles of the rebellious family.

Deputy General Jeong Seo-tae spoke bitterly. However, at least General Jeong himself thought that if he was a military man, he should be evaluated for that level. He was a man who only loved his skills.

“Well, even considering that, the achievement is huge. Even the bushy-bearded civil servants couldn’t deny that. So I roughly pushed through at the party meeting, and I managed to get a Taeseong sword and a small amount of money. Also, he was an apprentice warrior, but the apprentice in front of him could be removed.”

“At that age, having the qualifications of a regular samurai might create a greater sense of incongruity. I don’t know if it’s such a good thing to rise among peers.”

“How is it? Those who will be able to do it anyway enjoy all that burden. When the opportunity arises, we must advance in advance so that we can snag it in our back pockets later.”

Jeong Seo-tae pushed the bottle and stared out the window.

“In the future, you will know. No matter what family you come from, a guy who can use a sword well is so precious. If you find the right guy, you’ll have to tie him up so he can’t go anywhere else. Whether it’s money or a government official.”

“It’s also paradoxical that decent guys aren’t tempted by that.”

“I know. So, there is no easy task. Anyway, something is wrong with the design of this bastard’s world. Tsk.”

After saying that, Jeong Seo-tae gulped down his drink again.

– ‘Let’s work less and earn more.’

– ‘That’s my motto.’

In the future, he offered a silent prayer to Seol Tae-pyeong.

It was obvious what the future would be like if he caught the eye of the famous hard worker Jeong Seo-tae.

“….is it so. That’s right.”

The only thing Mi-rae could do was to agree with Jeong Seo-tae’s words.

“So, Miss Ran is still lying down?”

“huh. I heard from Lady Cheonryongchae across the street. But there is no danger to my life, so he says it’s okay.”

“I see.”

A week had already passed since the fuss at the birthday party.

For me, a quick recovery is a big advantage, and at this point, I can get my hands on work again. Minor wounds and pains remained, but all were tolerable.

At the time, it seemed to be in a semi-mixed state, but in the first place, my main specialty was to revive in a semi-mixed state.

“I heard that Seol Nine, my one and only blood relative, was seriously injured, but he doesn’t seem to be more worried than I thought. I thought you would break out in a cold sweat while making a fuss.”

“If you live together for ten years, you will know everything. Sister Ran is not someone who will die so easily.”

In the first place, if you think about the content of Cheonryong Love Song, you could only know that he wouldn’t die, but… that’s another story.

Should I say it’s the superhuman temperament unique to the main character? He never gets frustrated under any circumstances, and no matter how many times he falls, he gets up all of a sudden.

If you just live next to it, you’ll just stick your tongue out.

Seeing that there are no rumors about the lady-in-waiting who saved the crown prince, it seems that Ran was rescued much later than the crown prince, just like in the original story.

After that, it must have been that the pile of stones collapsed and cracked. In any case, it seemed clear that the two had been rescued separately.

The great credit that saved the crown prince had been volatilized.

It’s really unfortunate, but it wasn’t unexpected. In fact, it should be in line with the content of Cheonryong Sonata.

Crown Prince Hyunwon was in a moribund state. He must have vague memories of the woman who supported him in the pile of stones.

He must have been more attracted to a girl named Seolran because he was a girl beyond the vague memories he saw as a fantasy in a dying state.

And when you recall all the truth, you will feel something like fate for a girl named Seolran and yearn for it more and more.

If you think about it, should the present ball be left as an investment for the future?

If you think about it from my point of view, it’s still a waste, but if you think about Seolran’s personality, you’ll say that with a smile.

It wasn’t something I was hoping for in return in the first place.

“…”

Certainly, being a romantic heroine is not for everyone… but…

“oh! This is the Taeseong sword! Heo Eok! Heavier than I thought!”

While thinking about it, Yeon-ri, who was sitting next to the floor, made a fuss.

Seolran’s credit for saving the crown prince was volatilized, but my credit for saving the Ingwibi seemed to have gone to the meeting.

Along with the Taeseong sword, a symbol of honor that warriors want to hold in their hands, a considerable amount of money has arrived.

In addition, I was able to get rid of the apprentice warrior qualifications so quickly that it was unusual for this age. In terms of soldiers, is it about 2nd rank special? It feels like I was treated quite unconventionally for an illegitimate child from a rebellious family.

“It’s Yeon-ri. Don’t pull out the knife because it hurts. It’s heavy.”

“Taipyeong. Even so, I can’t handle one of these things.”

“…it’s expensive.”

“…”

Yeon-ri had a chronic illness that made it difficult for her to touch expensive items. It’s because of the nightmare of breaking a jar while working as a lady-in-waiting in the main palace. Sure enough, Yeon-ri suddenly swallowed dry saliva and quickly put the sword back in.

Yeon-ri, who put down the Taeseong sword so quietly… suddenly stood up and looked down at me as if she had suddenly changed her mind.

“hmm! Because you talk so calmly and calmly, I feel a sense of backlash for nothing! Taepyeong treats Nine step by step, while I treat the world comfortably?!”

“…”

“Even if I look like this, I’m a year older than Seollal Nine, and I’m a regular lady-in-waiting… Why don’t you treat me like an older sister?!”

“Sister Ran is…isn’t she…”

“What kind of logic is that…”

After Yeon-ri says that, she puts her hand on my waist and spreads her chest while talking.

“Now, call me. Sister Yeon!”

“What are you talking about… Yeon-ri-ya…”

“Do you want to try it once? Come on, Sister Yeon!”

“What the hell are you talking about… Yeon-ri-ya…”

As she said that, Yeon-ri sighed deeply. He seemed to think that it was wrong to be treated like a sister.

“Ha, what would I expect? Yes, I lost.”

Yeon-ri hopped off the floor and put on her shoes. As much as Yeon Ri-in was in charge of the housework for Baek Seon-gung by herself, she was not so relaxed either.

“I’m going to go get some dry blankets. Taepyong. Call me over for dinner.”

“okay.”

Perhaps the grunting was just a whim I had been pampering for a while, and the protruding lips quickly went in as well. When I think about work, I become serious right away.

So Yeon-ri went to the backyard of Baekseon Palace.

…and then, after a while, suddenly come back sweating and talk.

“Taipyeong. I heard that the current queen has been to Baekseon Palace…”

“…”

What the hell are you talking about… Yeon-ri…

*

“You look healthy!”

Breath rising through the winter air.

When I saw that the Ingwibi’s breath was rising more thickly, I felt that my voice was getting louder with joy.

I, who was sitting on the floor with Yeon-ri, had to kneel down and bow my head as soon as I saw the lady-in-waiting suddenly appear. Even the lightning in the dry sky would have been less sudden than this.

As I said sometime ago, it wasn’t often that the crown princess went in and out of the concubine.

Besides, to go to Baekseon Palace without any contact. This kind of eccentricity was usually stopped by the maid of honor, but it seemed that the chief maid of honor did not stop it.

The result, when I came to my senses, was Yeon-ri and myself hanging down on the floor, sweating profusely.

“In-gwibi-nim.”

There were no eyes to see, and it was only in the crypt that was in an extreme situation that I was able to put down a little weight and talk… In Cheongdo Palace, where there are many eyes to see, the story was different.

Although he was given an apprenticeship ticket, what a huge gap there is between an ordinary warrior and the owner of the Suzaku Palace. It was a gap to the point where it would be meaningless to emphasize it one by one.
