Surviving the Romance Fantasy

The wooden sword the man was holding… was blazing with fire.

Not just the blade, but the entire sword handle.

The man let out a spirit, holding on to the burning wooden sword with gritted teeth.

From noble mtl dot com

‘A crazy… bastard…!’

Flames are embroidered along the trail of the sword.

The trajectory of moving twice horizontally and once vertically is clearly engraved in front of your eyes.

– Roaring!

Gritting his teeth and holding the sword, a murderous intent welled up in the eyes of the man.

Why do you bother to wield a flaming sword?

It was to cover the cloud’s view.

When those who have risen to the stage face each other, a very brief gap separates the winner.

The posture of the opponent swinging the sword, the center of gravity, and the direction in which it will move afterwards. This is because you have to make the next move by gathering the minute information that is revealed very briefly.

However, the flames following the sword’s trajectory blazed and scattered the vision, making the man’s next move unpredictable.

“Keugh!”

‘I have to keep my distance…!’

Before he could even finish thinking about it, the burnt man’s hand dug into Unbaek’s arms.

After striking the stomach, he grabs the collar and throws it to the floor like the other members.

“Ke-heo-eok!”

– Valid! bang!

When Unbaek stumbled onto the floor and let go of the sword, the man kicked the sword away and blew it away.

Unbaek looked at the man, feeling a sharp pain running through his body.

The man’s fingertips are all covered with burns.

I grabbed the burning wooden sword tightly and exchanged only four sums. In that moment, the man’s hands were already completely red.

However, the man knew intuitively that the momentary difference would make the difference between winning and losing.

Strength is second to none.

It’s been a long time since I’ve built up my martial arts skills.

The seat of the head of the gwisu is not something anyone can sit on. The idiots have been through rigorous training for decades, which will leave them in a matter of hours.

However, there are times when the sense given by nature turns upside down even the years of accumulated effort.

Maybe fifteen sums at most.

Just by exchanging battles to that extent, the man sensed what he had to do to defeat Unbaek.

That feeling is not something that can be achieved through effort.

It is something that can never be obtained unless it is given from heaven.

“Heo-euk… hee-euk…”

The exhausted man clenched his fists as he looked down at Unbaek.

Burning White Tiger Palace.

A man with his back to the fire burning red in the middle of the bed. A beast possessed by that blood looks down at Unbaek.

Unbaek closed his eyes.

Before long, the man fell unconscious with his fist.

It was the moment when the accumulated years of training became colorless.

Duckby (1)

– Quaang! Fire!

– Pooh!

The gwisu members who were aiming their bows outside had no choice but to swallow dry saliva.

It was because some of the members who had entered the burning White Tiger Palace were being thrown into the backyard in a state of fainting.

Colleagues rolling tirelessly on the dirt floor couldn’t even make a sound. All of them have completely lost consciousness and have no will to resist.

The scene where he throws his fainted colleagues into the backyard one by one. It may seem like a kind of mockery, but if you think about it carefully, it was rather for them.

It was clear that he would lose his life if he passed out in a burning building.

The man with a face covering was picking up those people one by one and throwing them into the backyard.

– Percussion!

– Kwaaak!

However, the sight of fainted comrades popping out of the building one by one… is just terrifying to the observer.

Eventually, when they saw the man protruding out of the house, even the leader of the demons, their eyes tightened.

Unbaek, the leader of the nobles, was a man who could be said to be first-class as a military man.

Seeing such a person pass out casually and come out, the members of the garrison had no choice but to stiffen.

“Heo-euk… hee-euk…”

Of course, the man’s condition was not normal either.

Blood was flowing here and there, and his hands were swollen with burns.

It was the moment when he was about to throw Unbaek, the leader of the nobles, into the backyard.

The man in the cotton cloth looked at the head of the fainting demon, as if something was unusual.

Deokbi Ha continued walking, holding on to his fainting spirit.

The night was still dark, and visibility was poor, but it was not easy to orientate as the mind was confused by the continuous intense pain.

What does it mean to go on like this?

The more the pain in the body rises, the more thoughts come along with it.

Perhaps the pursuit of the demon will continue.

Seol Tae-pyeong alone won’t be easy to block all over 20 ghosts. It was clear that somehow, a few of them would get out separately and continue to pursue Hadukbi.

If so, it seemed clear that he would be caught before he could even get out of the concubine.

All struggling is pointless. It might be better to just reminisce about the past life while being lost here.

Nevertheless, Deokbi Ha had no choice but to keep moving his feet. It was because Seol Tae-pyeong blocked my escape route.

Someone was struggling to save himself, but the person in question had no choice but to do something.

If so, it is right to try as much as possible to survive in the line possible.

That was the least courtesy to a man named Seol Tae-pyeong.

Even in the midst of burning pain, she gritted her teeth and walked, walked, and walked toward the outside of the concubine.

If you walk like that… Sometimes there are times when even the sky will give you an answer.

“Ha, ha Deokbi?”

Meeting Consort In and Deputy General, who were walking towards the burning White Tiger Palace, may be proof that the sky is smiling at Deokbi Ha in a way.

The soldiers of the enemy palace cannot enter the back of the concubine.

In order to save Seol Tae-pyeong, who will face the demons, In Gwi-bi had to take the fastest route anyway. That was the back road. It was a place that ordinary soldiers did not use and did not even know of its existence.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok…!”

“Ha Duckbi! What are you doing! The condition…!”

“Your Majesty, stay away! I will support you!”

The deputy general who quickly jumped forward quickly helped Deokbi Ha.

Ha Deok-bi’s body, which was stained with burns, seemed painful to look at at a glance.

Ha Deok-bi closed her eyes tightly, supported by Deputy General Jeong Seo-tae. My whole body was screaming just from being supported.

It’s really savage that it’s a world thing.

When it came to being helped by Ingwibi, who was gritting her teeth and jealous, Deokbi Ha couldn’t even shed a laugh.

“Looks like you were seriously injured in the fire! Right now, to the soldiers of the enemy palace…!”

“The returnees… are after me…”

At those words, the faces of the Ingwibi and the deputy general hardened at the same time.

As the deputy general speculated, the nobles of the main palace moved to arrest Ha Deok-bi.

Ha Deok-bi groaned in pain, but rolled her head and accurately grasped the situation.

Seol Tae-pyeong was holding the Suzaku-pae given to him by Ingwibi. It means the person who was sent by Ingwibi.

However, these people did not know that Gwisu had come to catch Hadukbi himself.

If you make a mistake with demons, you will die. Realizing that fact, he quickly ran to check Seol Tae-pyeong’s condition.

In the end, meeting these two people on the back road of the concubine was close to the butterfly effect caused by Seol Tae-pyeong.

Could heaven be on his side? In any case, it seemed that he had the fatal power to save people.

“If you carelessly help me… you don’t know what kind of crime you’ll be punished for… you better keep that in mind… you’d better…”

“…I won’t ask for a long time.”

In front of Deokbi Ha, who was moaning in pain, In Gwibi asked with a firm face.

“Is it Lady Deokbi Ha who sent me the sachet?”

At those words… Ha Deokbi shook his head slowly.

From Ingwibi’s point of view, it is impossible to know whether the statement is false or true. In reality, it was Deokbi Ha, but it may be that he is just telling lies to get out of the situation right away.

Gathering all the circumstantial evidence, it is clearest and most certain to think that Ha Deok-bi did this.

“Now that the situation has come to this, let me put everything down and tell you.”

Deokbi Ha said with a weak laugh.

“I was jealous of you, Queen Consort.”

“…”

“How can a woman like her not be jealous of you?”

In the eyes of Deokbi Ha, who had to struggle and endure every moment to survive in the sealed family, the life of a noble princess like Jujak must have been like the sun that she couldn’t reach even if she stretched out her hand.

As the governor of Jeongseon’s family, as the owner of the Suzakugung Palace.

The appearance is also more beautiful than anyone else, and even the personality is straight and there is no part that can be cut down.

People praised Deokbi Ha-wol for looking like a fairy, but in Ha-wol’s eyes, In Ha-yeon was the noblest fairy. That’s why she was jealous of Ingwibi.

The numerous scratches on my hands, all of which were not in the perfect girl. He is a person who stands in the same position and reigns firmly, regardless of the ups and downs of life.

Even himself, a self-serving servant who did not choose any means and methods for power, was only an ugly human figure in front of a noble noble woman.

“that…”

“But… I didn’t.”

Still, it was not Ha Deok-bi who put Yowol-hyang in a sachet and presented it to Ingwibi.

That fact is not a lie, it is the truth. I don’t know if Gwibi In will believe it, but Deokbi Ha only told the truth as it was.

“Perhaps, the one who plotted all the tricks…is the heavyweight.”

There, a person of the same sealing house is pointed out as the culprit.

Ingwibi and Deputy General looked at each other for a while, then looked at Ha Deokbi again and asked.

“Is it… are you sure?”

“The Empress Dowager appeared in person at the Palace of the White Tiger, leading the demons. It seemed clear that he was probably intending to capture me and bring me to the emperor.”

“The demons… were under the direction of the Queen Mother?”

No matter how noble a woman may be, she does not have the authority to command nobles.

Ingwibi and deputy generals were clearly aware of this fact.

Naturally, the following conclusion was drawn. There is someone who made it possible for the middle queen to command nobles.

Only the emperor or the three highest-ranking officials of the main palace have the authority to exorcise the nobles.

The emperor had no way of knowing about this yet. If that’s the case, I can’t stay still.

If so… it is the story that he was one of the three high officials… who gave instructions to heavyweight Ha Chae-rim so that he could return home.

Sangseo-gwan, Middle-seo-gwan, Munha-gwan.

“I saw with my own eyes that Mun Ha-gwan was busy preparing for the Cheonryong Festival, and Jung-seo-gwan was also just at a drinking party.”

The deputy general spoke directly to Ingwibi.

If so, there was only one person left by the method of elimination.

In Gwibi’s eyes began to tremble slightly. This is because the remaining characters were also familiar to Ingwibi.

“…”

SangseoGwan Inseonrok.

The head of the Jeongseon In-ga family and the father of In Ha-yeon, the queen consort.

– ‘Please consider that I am in a position to worry about the future of the ecliptic rather than such private sympathy.’

In Gwibi didn’t know either. She, too, had eaten enough to grow old.

This Qingdao Palace is full of beautiful and romantic scenery, but if you dig a little deeper, it is a place where trickery and scammers run rampant among those who have their eyes on the throne of power.

Encouragement and trickery, scheming and trickery.

It was common for those who lived a splendid and beautiful life to reveal their gloomy inner feelings.

Even the servants who seemed trustworthy and loyal were full of greed for success after all.

That is why the man named Seol Tae-pyeong looked mysterious.

It was the first time that even with such skill with a sword, he had no intention of winning a fortune.

Is there such a person?

Yes, there are people like that.

However, since the name of her father, whom she trusted and followed, popped up here, it was difficult for the princess to keep her composure.

“Father…?”

The main palace office.

The one who was contemplating the world with his hands behind his back in that grand place overlooking the whole view of Cheongdo Palace.

A high official who wields authority with an upright heart, thinking of the people.

However, it is said that a person with integrity and innocence can easily take the position of Sangseojang.

I had to intuit to some extent. In the end, in order to go beyond a certain line in this Qingdao Palace, I had to get dirty on my hands. Kwon Mo-soo is like a virtue that must be taken in order to stay put in this Qingdao palace.

The picture was drawn without difficulty.

To stand at the top, you must trample all who climb up.

Just because he was the head of the Jeongseon In-ga family, he could not be completely free from that rule. The people of the sealing house, who would try to bring down Jeongseon’s approval whenever they got the chance, would have been constantly concerned about them.

If things go according to plan, who will benefit the most?

Once that was sorted out, the overall picture of the situation was unexpectedly easy to see.

“is it…”

In Gwibi bowed her head and monologued.

It seemed that the thoughts of Sangseo-gwan Inseon-rok were drawn to some extent.

Heavyweight Ha Chae-rim, whose position is becoming unstable within the sealing family.

She wanted to further solidify her position, even if it meant undermining the power of the sealing house.

If you knew what she was thinking, all you had to do was give her a sword that she could wield.

Because the heavy rain will use that sword to cut off the authority of the sealing Haga on its own.

From the perspective of the Sangseojang, there is nothing to be harmed. Because all of this was done by Ha Chae-rim, the heavyweight.

The reason why the Sangseo-gwan gave up the nobles was because he reached out his hand to the reasonable request for help from the heavy secretary who was trying to condemn Ha Deok-bi.

The truth of everything… has nothing to do with the Sangseo-gwan.

Even if heavy rain’s plan fails, it’s nothing more than heavy rain fooling everyone.

If you think about it like that, even if the plan of the middle secret fails in the end, she will become a high treason, so the desired goal of suppressing the authority of the sealing house will be achieved.

Whatever it is, it is a bet that only gains from Jeong Seon In-ga’s point of view.

Surviving in the political arena is in line with running away from responsibility.

The opportunity to take down a rival family once without any responsibility does not come easily.

In Seon-rok, the head of the Jeongseon family, would not miss this opportunity.

“Mr. Did you hear about the fire on the concubine side?”

“…”

Annokjeong (安綠亭) overlooking the royal tomb site, where the Cheonryong Festival was held, at a glance.

After drinking it, putting down the rice wine, the senior secretary shook his head as he listened to the aide-de-camp’s report.

He was an old tiger who had survived 30 years in this magnificent Qingdao Palace.

“Anyway, if the emperor directly asks for my sins, I cannot lie. It will be the same for Ingwibi.”

Deokbi Ha spoke while enduring the pain.

If Ha Deok-bi is caught by the nobles and brought before the emperor, Ha Deok-bi will not be able to escape the death penalty.

Because the sachet that Consort In received as a gift was a gift from the Palace of the White Tiger.

The lady-in-waiting knew that, and the maid of honor, Hyeon-dang, said that it was definitely a gift from the Palace of the Baekho.

If so, Ingwibi has no choice but to talk like that. You can’t make up facts that don’t exist.

There is no point in talking about things you don’t like. Bondi sin is judged only by facts and evidence.

Perhaps heavyweight Ha Chae-rim disguised the sachet as a gift from Baekho Palace, either by using someone or buying someone. There must have been a lot of trickery involved in the process, but that is all past. There is no way to dig it up now.

The sachet given as a gift from the Palace of the White Tiger contained poison. In the end, only that fact remains.

As long as the fact is clearly revealed, it is Ha Deok-bi’s responsibility to prove that the sachet is not a gift from the Palace of the White Tiger.

Now, if I cry out that I have never gifted anything like that, it will only be seen as a belated evasion.

What kind of persuasive power would there be in belatedly belatedly begging the emperor after the poison was released?

“I have to prove that I didn’t send the sachet… But… I can’t remember the means…”

As Gwibi In and Vice General listened to Deokbi Ha’s words, their expressions became complicated.

Who to trust and who to doubt.

….If you want to survive in this Qingdao palace full of trickery, you must be suspicious of everyone.

However, if you just doubt everyone, you can’t do anything in the end.

At the end of the end… You have to trust someone.

Can you really trust Ha Deokbi’s words?

In fact, everything was planned by Ha Deok-bi, and what if he was just looking for a way to break the situation while leaving all the sins to Joong-bi?

What if all the words you said were just lies?

From noble mtl dot com

But can the heavy rain be trusted?

Even his father, Sangseo-gwan Inseon-rok, whom he trusted and followed all his life, might be wielding the trick of the board?

In Gwibi closed her eyes.

He reigned as the owner of the Suzaku Palace, and lived a life wielding countless people under his command.

If you live like that, the essence of wielding people eventually boils down to that question.

who will you trust? Who is a trustworthy person?

The answer to that question was the surest criterion for judging the ruler’s vessel.
