Surviving the Romance Fantasy

If Deputy General Jeong Seong-tae decided to do something, he would go forward even if the Princess of Cheondo appeared and tried to stop him.

He is not a person who can move just because he is grilled or boiled with a three-inch tongue.

“Deputy General Jeong Seong-tae… will definitely die…”

“Is that so…”

“huh. “Taepyeong, I don’t think this is very happy news for you, so I wanted to tell you as late as possible.”

“…”

Princess Ahyeon, who is always cheerful, took a rare look at me. She didn’t seem to be in a very good mood either.

“As you know well, since he ascended to the position of general, there have been quite a few instances where he has spoken out on behalf of Cheonryongchae. “When I had just entered Cheonryongchae and couldn’t tell what was right and wrong, there were a lot of times when I owed them political debts of one kind or another.”

“…Did you?”

“Yeah… So, I tried various tricks, but the Vice General really never listens to what others say. “I may have risen to that position because I have such a self-centered temperament, but…”

He is a person who became a general-level official only through force and perseverance.

I knew very well that he was a different person from the very beginning, but I never thought that he would die in vain like this.

“Taepyeong. Actually… that’s not the only thing that’s important. “The time has come for a superior ghost to appear, which means that it is time for other special spirits to appear within the Cheongdo Palace.”

“…I don’t think it’s been that long since we cut down Yuegwi Yoran.”

“As far as I know, along with the Sangdeunggwi incident in the Anhyang region, great confusion also occurred within the Cheongdo Palace.”

Princess Ahyeon looked down at her teacup and said with faint eyes.

The voice seemed very heavy.

“Ilkwi (Japanese ghost) Pyeongyang (平量).”

Yes, I think I understand why Princess Ahyeon’s voice is heavy.

Ilgwi basis weight. As soon as I heard the name, I felt like I didn’t need to hear the rest of the explanation.

General Pyeonryang (平量將軍) is the nickname Jeong Jeong-tae earned when he managed a village called Anhwabang.

Whether it’s collecting taxes or using military service…

No matter what he does, he doesn’t want to think about it in a complicated way, so he does it roughly and fairly.

It was a nickname that showed his cheerfulness.

Jeong Seo-tae, a hero born from difficult times.

He was the one who was in the right place.

“He is the one who swallowed the solidification poison four times. “He’s probably intoxicated with Yogi’s power, so he’ll probably destroy a few buildings when he shows up in the palace.”

“…”

“Taepyeong.”

Princess Ahyeon basically has no worries about me in terms of her powerlessness.

If she’s worried about me, then it’s time to be really careful.

“Really… you can’t let your guard down…”

Princess Ahyeon’s expression lowered her head, showing even more seriousness.

hell (1)

“Since Ilgwi Pyeonryang embodies the power of a general-level official commanding a large army, he will appear with numerous ghosts.”

“…You mean in the middle of Cheongdo Palace?”

When Princess Ahyeon nodded, I couldn’t help but laugh. Didn’t the lower knight Yuegui Yoran also openly appear in the middle of Cheonyukjeong in Cheonryongchae?

“Listen carefully, Taepyeong. “You should not think about anything else and just focus on catching Ilgwi.”

“…”

“Ilgwi is something that can never be underestimated. “I’m sure you’ll have a hard time too.”

If Deputy General Jeong Seo-tae, who has consumed hardening poison four times, goes berserk with the power of Yogi… no matter how much he can overcome his spirit, he will be killed if he is careless.

However, it seems that that is not the only meaning contained in Princess Ahyeon’s words.

It feels like it knows something more but isn’t telling me. Rather than saying there was any malice, it was more like he was just having a hard time speaking.

I nodded for now, but the awkward feeling didn’t go away, so I continued.

“I have felt this for a long time… Princess Ahyeon has too many things to hide from me. “Isn’t that right?”

“…”

“Aren’t we all in the same boat now? “We have a common cause of killing evil spirits, and there is no need to hide this or that, even if it is for my own sake.”

Actually, it was a strange thing.

I knew that Princess Ahyeon had rewound the world several times to kill Yeok Deung-gwi.

Even though they know everything about each other, I still get the feeling that there is hesitation between the lines of what Princess Ahyeon says.

We are in a position where we must join forces in the face of a huge disaster called reverse return, but there is nothing better to hide, isn’t there?

“It still bothers me that there’s something left unsaid to me.”

“…”

“Could you please tell me everything without adding or subtracting anything?”

When I spoke so calmly, Princess Ahyeon looked away and thought she would pretend not to know, but then sighed.

“…Probably, after killing Ilgwi Pyeongyang this time, the help I can give you as the Princess of Cheondo will be greatly reduced.”

“Is that so?”

“Like Wolgwi Yoran, like Ilgwi Pyeongyang… A ghost of that level has appeared twice, not in any other place, but in the middle of Cheongdo Palace, the center of this country. “How serious is that?”

After listening to the story up to that point, I felt like I immediately knew what Princess Ahyeon was worried about.

“…Princess Ahyeon. if…”

“okay. The weakening of the Heavenly Dragon’s power will become more clearly publicized. “I… can’t remain the Princess of Cheondo forever.”

Even if we assume that it may be because the Wolgwi incident is an unusual event, once Ilgwi Pyeongryang is taken care of, Princess Ahyeon will no longer be able to maintain the same authority as before.

Of course, he would not be kicked out of Tianlongchae right away, but it was clear that he would lose his authority little by little.

In the end, she may become quite shabby – Princess Ahyeon is predicting her own downfall.

“Listen carefully, Taepyeong. No matter what happens to me, you should only worry about yourself. “Never forget that if you want to achieve success, you must prioritize your career above all else.”

“…”

“Now that her authority as the Princess of Cheondo is high, she may still have some use value, but as time goes by, her prestige will decrease. When that time comes, you will have to reject me.”

Princess Ahyeon spoke in a solemn voice.

I don’t know what future those eyes saw.

“I am the Princess of Cheondo now, but never forget that it is Lady Seol who must eventually ascend to this position.”

At least I was certain that Princess Ahyeon was hiding something from me.

“Well, what’s the point in telling such a dark story! Right now, the most important thing is to think about how to bring the maid to Cheonryongchae and prepare well to deal with Ilgwi Pyeongryang! huh?!”

“That’s true, but…”

“There’s a lot of work to be done right now, so what’s the point in talking about it later?”

Just like that, he glosses over what he said and quickly changes the topic of conversation.

I still feel certain that there is something that Princess Ahyeon has not told me.

If you don’t say something, it’s also an adult thing to assume there must be a reason and pretend not to know.

However, it is not easy to pretend not to know until this point.

“First, I will look into more methods on my own, so go back today and finish the work in the activation room! Since you’re at the palace, take a look at the people who will be under your command! Taepyeong, you have a lot to do!”

A sense of discomfort drips from the sight of him trying to quickly send me away.

However, I had no intention of prevaricating.

“Yue Gui Yaoran, Jin Qinglang. “Ilgwi pyeongryang, Jeong Seo-tae.”

“…”

“Then… who is the White Ghost?”

Is it accurate to say that I hit the nail on the head?

Princess Ahyeon’s expression hardened for a moment, but then she let out a wry smile.

“The White Ghost… could it be…”

“Taepyeong.”

Princess Ahyeon lowered her head and spoke with difficulty.

“I will be dethroned during the Chungwon Day celebrations next year.”

“…”

“It is obvious what will happen to the Princess of Cheondo, who is dethroned because she failed to fulfill her duties. Still… Taepyeong…”

Is this what I was thinking about until the end?

“Don’t pity me, don’t try to save me, and don’t take my side.”

*

Geomtaekgwan Hasihwa is a member of the Seonbong Haga family and is a civil servant who has worked for quite a long time in the government department in charge of civil engineering and architecture inside and outside the palace.

With his gray-white hair neatly tied back, his sleeves pushed up and his mouth saying all the things he can’t say, he is truly a sharp-looking person.

Among the many government officials, she was the most highly regarded, and although her rank was low, her influence could not be ignored.

This is because in studies where practical work is emphasized, practical skills often become the size of one’s voice.

Just as a soldier who is good at work has greater influence within a group than most other executives, Ha Si-hwa solidified his position by controlling the government officials for a long time.

He had the ambition to one day rise to the position of a student inspector and command people.

If your intentions are high, you will work harder at what you do.

She was widely recognized as the person who did the best in her studies, and finally…

“Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to come out to study.”

I was cut off from my studies.

“…”

Prosecutor Hasihwa bowed his head as he looked at the personnel orders.

‘Hyeongwoljang Seoltaepyeong? Food manager in the active room…?’

Hashihwa, who was looking at the documents with his sleeves rolled up, sighed heavily.

Hasihwa, a self-proclaimed woman, always worked hard to receive recognition in her studies with the body of a woman.

Without even applying a single coat of powder, she tied her shiny hair back and gritted her teeth in an attempt to be recognized.

He stayed up all night reading practical books, running around the site to familiarize himself with the structures of buildings, and eventually memorized the number and structure of each house, and even dismantled abandoned houses one by one to analyze their architectural structures. .

There was no poisonous tumor like this. The reason I was able to work so hard was to one day stand at the top of my studies and gain great power.

‘No matter what… how can you use me as a bargaining chip without even saying a word to me…!’

The people of Seal Haga know well that they will do anything to get what they want.

Knowing that he too could one day be used as an outcast, he worked hard to prove his worth.

However, when I thought that my dream had ended in vain like this, tears threatened to come to my eyes.

How hard have you lived?

I treated each day as if it were a treasure, saving time and training myself. How can the world betray itself in this way?

From what I heard, the person named Hyeongwoljang Seol Tae-pyeong is someone who just got into the world by accident and has no background.

Even such a person could end up becoming a general-level official, so Ha Kang-seok, the head of the Seal Haga family, sold off Hashi-hwa’s dreams and efforts as a means of trading to recruit him.

‘I’ve put in years of effort into my studies, but to the people of Sealing Hagar, even that is just negotiation material…’

He felt bitter and was heartbroken for a moment, but Hashihwa quickly composed himself and shook his head. When I lived as a member of the sealing family, I often came to realize reality in this way. You can’t even dream of success unless you get frustrated every time that happens.

The hair on the back of my head was swaying along my head. It seemed to represent a strong heart.

‘But they say a crisis is an opportunity. If the calculating Ha family member is someone who goes to such lengths to recruit him, there must be a good reason.’

After all, most of the military officers who work hard are just ignorant people with hard-headed minds.

In any case, if you can get hold of the person named Seol Tae-pyeong, the leader of Hyeongwol, it will be a great weapon for you.

‘I don’t know what kind of person he is, but from what I heard, he doesn’t seem to have a very keen eye for the political scene in Cheongdo Palace. If I cook it well and boil it, I might be able to use it as a means of success…!’

It was around this time that Ha Si-hwa was nodding his head.

– Boom!

At that time, the door to the prosecutor’s office opened violently.

“uh…?”

“Oh, are you Hashihwa?”

Is this the way back to the active room after visiting Tianlongchae?

Truly without any context and out of the blue, Hyeongwoljang, a 3rd rank servant, came into Ha Sihwa’s office.

Isn’t there something called probability in things in this world?

It is questionable how a high-ranking official of the main palace could suddenly appear as if he were a friend from the neighborhood, but Hyeongwoljang Seol Tae-pyeong does not seem to care about that at all.

“…! Tongue, Hyeongwoljang sari…?!”

“You look smart and good at your job. Hey, help me pack my bags.”

“yes!”

From behind, Adjutant Bicheon came into the office with several maids and began to gather all kinds of Hashihwa’s belongings into a bundle.

– Kwakwang, boom! bang!

– Whirr! Whick!

It was so quick that I didn’t think I’d ever done something like this once or twice.

“Long… I didn’t know that Lord Hyeongwol would come already…! No, that’s…! “How can we end up in such a squalid place…!”

“Did you hear the news? It’s okay to say hello. Since you are in charge of the active room, all you have to do is work under me.”

“Well, I was going to slowly say hello…”

“are you okay. I’m so busy, what kind of greeting can I have? “I’ll pack up all your belongings and move them, so let’s go to the active room first. We can talk there, right?”

Even a lightning strike is no more sudden than this.

Hyeongwoljang Seol Tae-pyeong kidnapped Ha Si-hwa and took her to the active room, as if it was nothing special.

A bowl of soup was placed in front of Hashihwa, who had been kidnapped to the active room.

It looks really delicious with the steam rising.

Hyeongwoljang’s home in Hyeonghwalbang. There were four people sitting at the dinner table.

On one side, Hyeongwoljang Seol Tae-pyeong was slurping down soup, and next to him, Adjutant Bicheon was eating soup with a deathly expression.

Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong was also eating soup with a pained expression on his face, and it was scary to see the ghost’s blood all over his body. They had just cleared out the low-level demons outside the active room.

A man dressed in a high-ranking military uniform, an apprentice warrior, and a bloody ghost catcher.

Ha Ji-hwa, who fell in between like Hong Il-jeom, thought to herself.

‘What on earth is this place…?’

What the heck, hell.

As if to answer that question, Seol Taepyeong said.

“What are you doing if you’re not eating? “After you finish eating, eat quickly because you have a lot of work to do.”

“Ah yes. But… I haven’t even been able to properly introduce myself yet…”

“Do it while working. Day.”

When I looked at the expressions of Cheong Jin-myeong and Bi-cheon as they shoved soup into their mouths, they both had soulless expressions, as if they were half dead.

It seems that the two people are the closest associates of Hyeongwoljang Seol Tae-pyeong, but no matter how you look at them, they look like they are dying under the pressure of work.

Hashihwa had a hunch.

It was clear that he had entered the fiery pit of hell.

Ha Deokbi was humming. I wonder if I’ve ever felt this good in a while.

As I walk along the floor of the White Tiger Palace, I am just enjoying this feeling of joy as if it were all the fun in the world.

It feels like everything is going well after capturing Hyeongwoljang Seol Taepyeong. It feels like his position within the Inbongha family is getting higher and higher… and more than anything, he clearly feels that Ingwi, who has lived under him all his life, is harboring a sense of inferiority.

‘I must have been really angry that the execution sentence was attached to me…’

Deokbi Ha touched the corner of her mouth with the tip of her white fan and monologued with a satisfied smile.

When I close my eyes, the scene I saw at the tea ceremony seems to flash back to me. The queen, who was always noble and always full of dignity, was jealous…!

Just thinking back on that memory made me feel an unknown sense of satisfaction welling up in my heart.

‘There are so many things to be gained just by having Hyeongwoljang Seol Taepyeong within your power. I need to gather as many things as possible that could be his weaknesses. Just in case, I have to make it so that I can never think of anything else.’

The insidious nature never goes anywhere.

Ha Deok-bi smiled happily and organized his thoughts.

‘Now that Hashwa has gone under his wing, he will ask for a lot of useful information.’

Ha Deok-bi laughed endlessly, feeling as if he had won a thousand troops and ten thousand horses.

He’s come this far, so who can stand in his way?

The world just seemed bright and beautiful.
