Surviving the Romance Fantasy

“oh… Oh hoho… !!”

She tries to make an arrogant smile later, but Seol-ran’s imitation of a villain like that only creates a sense of discomfort, as if she is wearing clothes that don’t fit her.

In the end, the shame fell on Ha Deok-bi, the only sane person.

In the first place, there was no way such a low-level tactic would work against the Princess of Cheondo.

No matter what, she is a country’s princess. This is not a position for someone who is swayed by the tricks of a single maid.

– Woe!

However, at that moment, the energy that had filled the area gradually subsided.

Ha Deok-bi failed to consider the most important fact. In any case, Jin Cheongrang was not in a normal state right now.

Through the subdued energy of the sword, the figure of Jin Cheong-rang was revealed, covering his mouth with his sleeve.

She stands still in the calm air… I was sweating profusely.

Surviving on Ropan Episode 123

just(7)

There is no reason for people to become weak.

This was the impression that Princess Ahyeon felt as she sat in Cheonryongchae and looked at the numerous officials.

As they say, the prime ministers who seemed to rule the world forever fall like flower petals as time goes by.

You pursue that kind of power all your life, and then one day, you suddenly get stabbed in the back and disappear.

Even those who seemed to be in their prime forever become slowly fading stars, looking back on their lives and eventually disappearing into the afterlife.

If you look at the long history of humankind, you will see a long line of people dying like that.

Usually people become weak.

Aging comes, things we need to protect disappear, and we either achieve our dreams or become frustrated. In this way, wrinkles gradually increase amidst the joys and sorrows, and we grow older looking back on the past rather than dreaming of the future.

There is no reason for people to become weak. Because that’s what humans are.

Therefore, people who have become strong have their own reasons.

Only those who have a reason to become strong can endure bone-chilling patience and stand tall.

– Woe!

He used his sword power to block Seol Taepyeong’s fist that came out through the dust.

However, the body was pushed away by the aftermath alone. It breaks the inner wall of Cheonryongchae and falls all the way to the deepest part, Cheonokjeong.

Since he began to show his true feelings at the White Tiger Palace, the White Ghost has been continuously beaten.

The appearance of Seoltaepyeong revealed through the smoke rising from the collapsed rubble. The face has the look of a beast.

No matter what anyone said, he was too strong.

[Ugh… ! ]

He was bleeding and when he lifted the collar of his palace uniform, there was a thick layer of blood.

When you see the dark red ghost’s blood flowing down thickly, you are surprised that there was so much blood in your body.

[Whoop… . ]

– Shoot!

Cheonokjeong with waterfalls pouring down.

The pavilion surrounded by clear water is beautifully located in the deepest part of Cheonryongchae.

It was the place where Princess Ahyeon always sat and gathered the energy of the Heavenly Dragon.

Princess Ahyeon lived there almost her entire life. Cheonokjeong is said to be the most sacred place in Cheongdo Palace, but at least for Princess Ahyeon, it was a comfortable place like home.

When I sat in the pavilion of Cheonokjeong and listened to the sound of the waterfall, I felt at ease.

I also thought that it would be nice to be able to sit in this sacred garden and contemplate the world for the rest of my life.

The white ghost woke up with blood pouring out.

Among the waterfalls of pouring clear water, the ghosts of the past were writhing.

[You are stronger than I imagined… . ]

The strong had a reason to become strong.

While living in this concubine as Princess Cheondo, she saw many powerful people. We are not just talking about force. There were people with a strong mind, people with politically open eyes, and people with quick sense.

Among them, the owners of the four palaces were people who lived strong lives in their own ways.

They all had to be strong. Because I had to survive.

In her childhood, when Princess Ahyeon, who knew nothing, climbed to Cheonryongchae.

From then on, he guarded this Cheonryongchae longer than anyone else, keeping in mind what kind of people they were.

Over and over again, I remembered the images of these women settling in each palace and living their lives with their own reasons in mind.

Lady In Ha-yeon lived to prove her worth.

Queen Jin Cheongrang lived to raise the level of Taoism.

Queen Pohwaryeong lived to promote harmony within the palace.

Deokbi Howell lived to gain greater power.

The masters of the four palaces guarding the four directions centered on the Tianlongchae, each looking in a different direction and stretching out their hands to achieve a different goal.

Is it only the owners of the four palaces who do this?

The emperor lived to monitor the safety of Cheongdo Palace. The treacherous Hwaan lived to protect his power. Sangseogwan In Seon-rok lived to enhance the authority of Jeongseon Inga. Deputy General Jeong Seong-tae lived to protect the people from ghosts. General Seong Sa-wook lived to protect the emperor.

The head maid lived to protect Cheonryongchae and Princess Cheondo. The chef lived to make more delicious dishes. Merchants wanted to make a lot of money, lawmakers wanted to save more people, and soldiers lived to protect their country and family.

This country of Cheongdo, where noble people gathered, was full of people who continued their life’s journey in their own direction with their own firm will.

This country was where countless people took shelter and rested for the endless journey of life.

Therefore, the reason for the girl’s life was determined without difficulty.

Let us live to protect this country of Cheongdo, which is full of people like this.

In order to embrace the reasons for life that each person values, let us protect this country by holding in our arms each and every reason that is as precious as gold.

The reason for life that the little girl had as she walked through the yard holding the hand of the head maid was bigger and nobler than anyone else’s.

However, what is the meaning of holding this feeling alone?

In order to confirm this feeling one day, the girl would tell this decision to a friend she always met at Cheonokjeong.

Whenever the girl went to Cheonokjeong, she would go up to the roof and talk to her friends.

“───.”

However, that too is now a story of the past.

– Quagwang! bang!

– Boom!

Baek-gwi’s body fell once more from Seol Tae-pyeong’s punch and landed on the roof of the pavilion.

The roof of Cheonokjeong, which always protected Princess Ahyeon from the snow and rain, took in and protected her body this time as well.

The monster’s eyes shine again through the rising dust.

– Woe!

Seol Taepyeong took out the broken sword.

Before the white ghost could resist any further, the sword was driven into his right shoulder.

– Phew!

[ Ugh! ]

The white ghost screamed in pain.

The flowing dark red blood obscured my vision.

The blade that pierced the roof was acting as a skewer that impaled the white ghost’s body so that it could not move.

Just by moving, I felt a sharp pain as my flesh was being cut open.

In the meantime, Seol Taepyeong grabbed Baekgwi’s opposite shoulder and struck the reversed ghost’s defenses on its neck.

– Kaang!

A dull sound, like hitting a huge wall, rang out.

No matter how strong he was, there was no way he could so easily break the powerful defensive technique of the Reverse Demon.

– Kaang! Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

Despite this, Seol Taepyeong’s fists did not stop.

The sight of him frantically striking down the half-cracked beopjin is quite frightening.

To the eyes of the white ghost who no longer had the strength to move his body, he looked like a devil from hell.

– Kaang! Kaang! Sigh! Pushuuk! Kaang! puck!

Occasionally, a crackling sound or the sound of blood splashing could be heard.

Seol Taepyeong’s fist, which repeatedly struck Beopjin, was distorted, blood bursting out, and even the flesh was scraped off.

In the end, blood splattered everywhere every time he swung, but Seoltaepyeong didn’t care and struck repeatedly.

It gives me goosebumps to see how calm he is, as if even the pain is flowing away.

– Kaang! Kaang! Clink!

He struck the dharma for a long time until his bones were broken and covered in blood, and eventually, just before Seol Taepyeong’s hand was completely broken, the dharma shattered into pieces.

– Crispy!

Seol Taepyeong’s fist pushes in between the scattered swords.

He grabbed the white ghost’s neck and looked down with sage-blue eyes.

“I finally got it.”

[Wow, heheheo… . ]

“I told him to unseal the concubine. “Otherwise, I’ll crush your cervical vertebrae.”

Looking at Seol Tae-pyeong’s trembling fingers, he is already at his limit.

Nevertheless, it seemed possible to completely take away the life of a white ghost by crushing its neck.

Just by feeling the pressure of strength rising from the corner of my neck, I immediately got my answer.

This monster now takes less than a second to kill White Ghost.

[ main… . ]

In the midst of his stopping breathing, Baekgwi struggled to speak out.

Tears began to form in the corners of Baekgwi’s eyes. Seeing this, Seol Taiping’s eyebrows twitched and trembled.

[Kill… la… . ]

“… .”

I would rather die than submit to the enemy.

Those words were not meant with such spirit.

The white ghost, whose entire body was covered in blood, spoke in a trembling voice.

The point is that there are no regrets about life anyway.

[ I am… There is no reason to live anymore… Why would you threaten someone with death who has no reason to live? . ]

“… .”

[In a way, death is my true rest. So, grab my neck and crush my bones. ]

If you can’t stop Seol Taiping, it’s better to die here.

Because there is no reason to live.

What makes her so sad?

What caused this girl to fall into an endless void?

[I made a promise to my only close friend. I will protect this country of Qingdao for the rest of my life. That’s what I live for. So, I told my friend about my decision and asked him to watch over my life. After losing that resolve… There is no reason to live anymore. ]

“Friend… ?”

[ okay. A friend who always listened to my story whenever I sat alone in Cheonokjeong. Always looking down at me, sometimes smiling, sometimes turning away or disappearing and not being seen… My one and only friend… . ]

The battered white ghost looked up at the high sky with blank eyes.

The huge full moon colored the dark red sky with bright light, shining warmly on Cheonokjeong.

‘is it.’

It is not difficult to picture the young Princess Cheondo.

Cheonokjeong late at night with no one around.

Princess Cheondo sits alone under a moon as bright as the sun.

A girl who has lived her whole life as a princess of Cheondo, with no one to open up to and only receiving looks of awe at her.

All the dignitaries at Cheongdo Palace have grand intentions in their hearts, and the people in the concubine are all living with heavy intentions on their backs.

Because they were just people who were holding on in their own way amidst the adverse winds of life.

The girl also looked up at the sky, holding that heavy and weighty meaning tightly to her heart.

There, there is only the moon that looks down on all things with warmth. Cheonokjeong is a place that no one can access.

There wasn’t even a friend who would listen to that foolish girl’s fleeting resolution.

Therefore, there was no one who could laugh vigorously at his solemn decision, which was not appropriate for his age.

This girl lived her life without realizing the laws of nature that girls of her age naturally came to realize when they played by picking pebbles, picking flowers, or playing tag by the river.

The thing about life is, if you just live it, you will survive.

Even if there is no big or grand meaning.

Even if there is no immediate goal to pursue.

Even if what I’ve been chasing my whole life, thinking it was fate, disappears before my eyes like a facade.

Even if you think that the pain of being stabbed by a dagger will last the rest of your life.

I just open my eyes the next morning. I get hungry when it’s meal time.

Every now and then, I get a little sore, so I go for a walk.

I was bored so I read a book. If you stare blankly out the window… That’s just how we live.

And if you live like that, a new reason will suddenly appear.

The reason for living is that something appears and then disappears, and even when it seems to disappear, it appears again.

I just lived with the flow, and one day I looked back at my steps.

It was said that human life is about dying while looking back on how well you lived.

It is truly fleeting.

That is why it is said to be beautiful.

It’s just that there was no one around to tell it.

“okay… .”

Seol Taepyeong gently closed his eyes.

Is the rising emotion sympathy?

Nevertheless, you ghost.

The roof of Cheonokjeong Pavilion bathed in moonlight.

Seol Taepyeong’s raised fist gained strength.

– Tuuk,

The middle-aged maid Yeon-ri led a horse into the back of the main palace library.

Because the situation in the main palace was in chaos, it was not difficult to enter.

In the alley between the shadowed buildings, I looked up for a moment at the pillar of light reaching toward the sky.

“It’s going to get colder.”

He muttered such words to himself in a lively voice, and picked up Seoltaepyeong’s bo-yeopsword, which was tied to the horse’s waist, with both arms.

“Ugh… It’s heavy. “How can he swing this like a tree branch?”

Yeon-ri sat leaning on the dirt floor behind the library, holding her sword, as if waiting for something.

In the old days, I would never have thought of getting my clothes dirty and sitting on the dirt, but it seems like such a long time has passed.

I spend some time sitting at the back of the library, not paying attention to the rising dust.

As I quietly looked up at the sky, the moon rising from the sunset sky suddenly revealed its face.

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I stopped looking up at the sky from Cheonokjeong.

“I see… “Don’t be too disappointed.”

If you sit alone in the pavilion of Cheonokjeong, and occasionally climb up on the roof of the pavilion to avoid the eyes of the maid… A large full moon would rise above the vast sky.

This is something I have been doing since my childhood, before I had to go through many regressions.

The girl leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes.

“It’s natural to become estranged from old friends.”

If I stood on the roof of Cheonokjeong and stretched out my hand to the sky, it seemed as if I could touch the moon rising in the distance in the starry sky.

The young Princess Cheondo would look at the round friend of Hwiyeongcheong in the sky and confess her concerns.

It’s a shame, but thanks to that, I was able to not lose my mind in the harsh Cheongdo Palace.
