Chapter: 595
Damn it.
A cracking sound is heard from somewhere.
Cracks appear in the space and pressure is seen building up.
Overwhelming energy.
Yuri’s body began to tremble uncontrollably under a pressure that was completely different from when she first saw him.
“Huh… Huh… .”
I can’t even breathe properly.
It was a terrible murderous feeling I had never felt before.
“Your Majesty…!”
Woo-seok tries to move at Yuri’s reaction.
“Stop.”
Another person in front speaks.
It was a person called the Red Feather Escort.
“If you move, it will break.”
The emotion in the voice is genuine.
Woo-seok felt this and couldn’t move easily.
Benda does not mean turning towards oneself.
Woo-seok could see it.
This means that the author’s gaze contains the Little Princess.
Could he stop it? Woo-seok had to bite his lips as he figured out his opponent.
‘I can’t stop it.’
At least I can’t stop it now.
I feel my arms going numb every time I move.
The opponent was much stronger than expected.
It means that he doesn’t have the confidence to protect the princess under this kind of pressure.
‘I didn’t know the warriors of the Central Plains would be this strong…’
I bite my teeth and realize the harsh reality.
The opponent’s power was far beyond his expectations.
The inspector in front is also like that.
The same goes for the woman who is blocking my brother.
‘I felt it last time too.’
The ability to approach in an instant and aim for the neck.
A facial expression that doesn’t reveal the will to live, and a gesture that is different from that.
He was showing that he was a very skilled guest.
Even though he said he was injured…
No.
‘Even if you weren’t injured in the first place.’
Of course, the unmanned vehicle in front.
Could I have protected the princess from that woman’s fingertips?
I wasn’t sure.
Woo-seok had to swallow his breath as he recalled this.
‘… Are you saying that it’s not just the white fox?’
I heard that there are many people in the Central Plains who are just as good as those in the North Sea.
I never knew that people like this existed.
Not very old.
How could one reach such a level?
‘Even.’
Woo-seok’s gaze was directed to the very edge of the table.
The master of speculation that fills the room.
A young man is looking at this place with the corners of his mouth raised in a tense situation.
Resting his chin on his hand and smiling.
It exudes such an eerie murderous aura.
‘What is this?’
Woo-seok felt the hairs on his entire body stand on end.
Apart from the warriors in front, the author is of a different class.
It’s not just a matter of winning or losing.
It was a matter of life or death.
The Ice Palace Lord who rules the North Sea.
The ten generals who are said to be guarding the ice palace below.
Woo-seok could be sure.
The author says that he has the aura of a general.
Otherwise, the current level of pressure is incomprehensible.
‘The red feathers of the Central Plains… .’
The being that Baek Yeo-woo and Bi-wae-gun praised so much.
Woo-seok could understand why the two of them went around praising the red feather.
A presence that makes your stomach churn just by looking at it.
The pressure that seems like it would bring the opponent to their knees with just one look.
The author is a man born with the qualities of a monarch and the talent to support him.
The owner of this place seems to be a Baekhwasangdan owner.
You could tell at a glance that it wasn’t true.
What I’m saying is that young man is the real owner of this room.
‘It’s dangerous.’
It was really dangerous.
More dangerous than the one I experienced when I escaped the North Sea.
It’s several times more dangerous now.
You can tell by looking into their eyes.
The author.
‘I will have no hesitation in killing the little princess.’
He is the new being of the martial arts world and a blood relative of the Ice Palace.
It doesn’t matter to the author.
That feeling was clearly felt.
“Ugh… .”
Yuri lets out a painful groan.
From the distorted expression and the cold sweat flowing down her face, you could tell how much pain Yuri was in.
Woo-seok bites his lip as he looks at this.
I shifted my gaze and looked around.
The only ones who are suffering are himself, Woo-beom, and Yu-ri.
The expressions on the faces of the others show only a hint of bewilderment, but no sign of pain.
What this means is.
‘Does that mean you’re controlling all your energy?’
We are adjusting it so that it does not cause any harm to those around us.
Even while providing such rough and suffocating pressure.
How is that possible?
The difference was overwhelming.
“hey.”
A cool voice pierces through Yuri.
“Answer me.”
“…”
Yuri’s eyes shake at the words she hears.
For her, now was clearly an opportunity.
This is the moment when you can figure out what the other person wants.
I have a clear idea of what Red Feather cares about.
No, there was no need to say understanding.
Because it was no different from what the other person had told him.
By using this, it is possible to persuade the red feather.
‘… Heuheu… Heuheu… .’
The red feathers spoke with their spirit and eyes.
[If you joke, you die.]
This was a clear warning.
What should I do?
Had to choose.
Here, you can take a step forward and try to persuade them.
Just give in to that energy.
The red feather was quietly looking at the glass.
With eyes that seemed to be forcing a choice.
The worries didn’t last long.
Yuri was quick-witted.
“… The white fox… .”
If you go any further from here, you’ll die.
My whole body’s instincts were telling me so.
“It was my… escort.”
The moment Yuri spoke like that.
Hwaak-!
The energy that the red feathers were spewing out subsided.
Only then was Yuri able to exhale the breath she had been holding.
“Ugh… . Huh… gasp… .”
“White fox?”
The red feather tilts its head.
Yuri was watching the reaction carefully while catching her breath.
“… that’s what we called her.”
“It seems like it suits me, but it feels like it doesn’t.”
He laughs as he spits out the words.
It was a completely different laugh from the one they had been giving themselves earlier.
It’s a little bit brighter.
Looking at that, Yuri could realize that the white fox and the red feather were very close friends.
“Escort… He was your escort?”
“yes.”
“How did it turn out like that?”
“… I don’t know the details because it was decided by the princess.”
It just happened that way.
In the first place, escorts change often.
At first, I was skeptical about the fact that foreigners were the escorts.
He was also a person brought by a close friend. Since the princess gave her permission, she did not harbor any ill will.
“Escort… I wondered what he was doing….”
After hearing that, I was lost in thought for a moment.
After that, he looked at the glass again and spoke.
“So, what’s the answer to the question I asked earlier?”
“…”
What I asked earlier.
Is it because of the influence of the energy? My head isn’t working properly.
My mind is clouded and bothersome.
Immediately Yuri raised her hand.
Taaak-!
“!!”
“Your Majesty–!!!”
Everyone except Red Feather looked at Yuri in surprise.
Because she hit my cheek hard with her hand.
Gulp.
Blood is flowing from the corner of his mouth because he hit me so hard.
Yuri immediately wiped the blood away with her sleeve.
Now I finally feel a little more refreshed.
“Sorry, I’m a little dizzy.”
“hmm.”
When everyone looked at the glass with bewildered eyes.
There is interest in the eyes of the red feather.
“You asked if Baek Yeo-woo was connected to the incident that occurred at the Ice Palace.”
“that’s right.”
“I don’t know.”
In response to Yuri’s answer, Red Feather strokes my lips with his hand.
No other reactions are shown.
Explain further.
Yuri thought that was what that action meant.
“Before I came to the Central Plains, Baek Yeo-woo remained in the palace.”
“You said you were an escort. Why?”
“It was her choice.”
“He made that choice?”
“Yes. The letter I received was received at that time. If I go to the Central Plains and meet you, please pass it on to me.”
“…”
Red Feather’s eyebrows furrowed as he heard Yuri’s words.
There was no lie in what he said.
Yuri told it as it was.
If you mess around like he said, you never know what might happen.
but.
I just didn’t spit out any lies.
I didn’t say everything.
“I immediately fled to the Central Plains. I don’t know what happened to Baek Yeo-woo after that.”
“What is the current status of the Ice Palace? It was because of a rebellion. Please explain more precisely.”
“…”
Yuri took a moment to catch her breath and quickly shook her head.
“…There are ten great warriors in the Ice Palace who are supposed to protect the palace. Three of them met their deaths immediately after the rebellion.”
“He might be dead now. Is it that bad?”
“yes.”
Bam.
Let Yuri give the answer.
The water glass next to the red feather breaks in half.
Geuggeuggeuk-.
In addition, there was a vibration in the room.
It wasn’t the same kind of murder or speculation as before.
This energy could also be seen coming from red feathers.
“This is a really shitty situation.”
The red feather smiles and says.
Yuri found that smile more frightening than the expressionless face.
“Were you trying to drag me into such a dangerous situation?”
“that….”
“Oh, that doesn’t matter. It’s not that important, so just ignore it.”
It was words I absolutely could not ignore.
Red Feather waved his hand as if it really didn’t matter.
And then he spits it out.
“What was the request? Was it to go with me to the North Sea?”
Yuri’s eyes widen at the mention of the red feather.
No way.
“Don’t like it because I’m not saying I’m going. It’s annoying.”
“…”
Yuri nodded immediately at the cool words.
“Tsk.”
Looking at that, Red Feather clicked his tongue briefly.
“One day. I’ll give you an answer within one day, so just wait quietly.”
“…”
As if going between heaven and hell, Yuri’s expression on the horse with red feathers had to keep changing rapidly.
Before Yuri could say anything, the red feather rose up.
Then he looked at Baekhwasangdanju and said.
“I’ll get up first. I have something to look into.”
As Danju nodded, the red feathers immediately disappeared.
Seongyul and Dang Soyeol, who had been blocking Wooseok and Woobeom, also retrieved their swords and disappeared after them.
The room became quiet in an instant as the gust of wind died down.
About ten seconds passed like that.
“… Ugh…!”
Yuri covered her mouth with her hand and retched.
Immediately the escorts rush in and take the glass away.
It was the aftermath of holding back energy and pretending to be fine.
“It’s okay… It’s okay.”
Yuri tried to smile as she stopped them.
Her hands were still shaking, but she was able to smile.
Somehow, I had a feeling that things would go in a good direction.
I left the top and headed straight to my quarters.
The pace was fast. That’s how impatient I was.
[I… was an escort.]
The words Yuri spat out linger in my head.
‘escort.’
The story goes that Namgungbia, who had left for the North Sea, was escorting the princess.
Why did things suddenly turn out like that?
‘I just said I was going to practice.’
He ignored my orders and headed to a random place. Why was he escorting a woman he didn’t know anything about?
I was getting annoyed.
Perhaps.
‘I thought maybe I could see it.’
When I heard that people were coming from the North Sea.
Just in case, I had one thought.
It was also around the time when I was coming back, and it was right around the time when people came from the North Sea.
I wonder if he came back.
I had such expectations.
But.
‘Things have turned out like this.’
A bloody wind is blowing in the North Sea.
But it seems like Namgung Bi-a was involved in that.
Suddenly.
It was something that made me hot just thinking about it.
I wanted to run to the North Sea right away and figure out the situation.
‘The timing is not good.’
Even though the timing was bad, it was really bad.
It was the same with meeting Cheonma in Hanam.
I can’t go to the North Sea right now.
That was the situation, let alone the plan that had been set in stone.
‘In two months, it will be a martial arts festival.’
Two months, or a little more than two months away.
After that, a martial arts festival will be held in Hanam.
I absolutely had to be there.
Furthermore.
‘The time to attack Hanam also overlaps.’
By the time the martial arts season ends, there is a harvest to be gained by raiding Hanam.
This was something that absolutely had to be done, as it would form the basis for future plans.
But in this situation, are you leaving for the North Sea?
‘How far is it to the North Sea?’
Since I hadn’t thought about going, I hadn’t even calculated the distance.
My head is spinning.
Or, how about the option of leaving after the non-combat is over?
‘Even if I can’t do it, it’ll be two months later’
After that period, we go to the North Sea.
Is that possible?
If you just hear the story, it’s not just any ordinary rebellion.
It was at the level of dreaming of driving out the princess and carrying out reforms.
If Namgungbia was involved in that situation, when I hesitated for two months and went to Bukhae.
‘What if Namgungbia is wrong?’
Just imagining it takes my breath away.
That was impossible.
We have to find a way.
I had to think quickly.
One day, find a way into it.
If there is no way.
‘Ignore everything and go to the North Sea.’
Even if planning is important right now.
If you ask me whether Namgungbia’s life is more precious than that, I only had one choice.
I returned to my residence, my teeth chattering.
First, go to the room and contact the Dark King separately… .
“You came.”
“…!”
Just as I was about to enter the room, I stopped in my tracks when I felt a presence.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice any human presence around me.
Even though the opponent was an ordinary person.
I said looking at him.
“…Elder?”
“You’re late.”
The entrance to my room.
There stood the god.
I wonder why he is here.
I tried to question it, but the god’s words were faster.
“Your expression doesn’t look good. What’s wrong?”
“… No, I just have a little something to do.”
It wasn’t a situation where I could have a long conversation with Shin.
I had to make a plan right away.
The god who heard my answer said,
“Then things were bad.”
His voice was filled with the same weariness as mine.
“…What’s going on?”
When I asked with a question, Shin-ui began to speak to me with a hesitant expression.
“I came because I have a favor to ask of you.”
“…”
After hearing the words of the god, I found myself frowning without realizing it.
Why did it have to be now?
I forced myself to control my expression and spoke to the god.
“I’m sorry. Right now, I can’t… .”
“… Soon, something big will happen in Hanam.”
Stop.
My mouth, which was about to say no, was tightly shut by Shin’s words.
Something big in Hanam?
“I know your situation is not good, but… I really want you to grant me this request, those who have ill intentions toward Hanam–.”
“That word.”
I cut off Shinui’s words and grabbed his hand.
Then the god makes a surprised face.
I said, looking into the eyes of such a god.
“Can you elaborate a little more?”
