Chapter 666
occasional uninvited guests. Despite the sudden appearance of the Beast Cat King, Baeksang’s voice was calm.
“Don’t you already know, Princess?”
The Beast Tomb King laughed bitterly.
Baeksang’s words were true. Although not a small number of tribal chiefs have turned away, he is the owner of the South Bay Palace.
At least in the inner palace, the affairs of the whites
I was aware of the show of hands
“He stayed in prison for quite a while. What did you talk about at such length?’ Baeksang, remembering the conversation with Jin Tae-gyeong, stopped involuntarily. But his hesitation was short-lived.
“Two days later at noon. He said he would be executed in front of everyone.”
“and?”
“It also taught me that no one can stop it.”
At one word aimed precisely at himself, the king of beasts’ eyes sank deeply.
“Do you really think so?”
“of course.”
“What if you don’t want to let that happen?”
“The palace lord is the one who stands at the forefront, but the authority to decide the great affairs of the barbarian rests exclusively with the Great Council.”
Baeksang, who uttered a low voice, continued
“Did you forget the oath that the ancestors of this land gathered under one banner hundreds of years ago?”
U ≫
“The result will not change. Tomorrow, the agenda for the last meeting is the execution of Han Chinese Jin Tai-gyeong.
However, if he had given up on Jin Tae-gyeong, he would not have come to this point.
“Is that all?”
“Twenty tribal chiefs, including myself, have already agreed. If the princess abandons the will of the convention and chooses another method… … .”
“I’m not asking that.”
The beast tomb king interrupted the white statue, who was trying to continue, and continued his words like a sigh.
“Didn’t Jin Tae-kyung tell that child? The story about Hui.”
U ≫
Incontinence smeared on the expression of the white statue, which had not been shaken. It was so in the past, and so it is in the present.
The only thing that can shake him after decades of living with an iron face is the child he can no longer have by his side.
And Beast Myowang was a person who knew that fact better than anyone else.
“I didn’t put anyone in prison, I just guessed. I was convinced when I saw you shaking unlike usual.”
“how… …
“How can you not know? We’ve been together all our lives.”
Baeksang shut his mouth. The two words “we,” came especially loudly. The two letters that were natural for the two of them, but are now unfamiliar to them. But???… .
hard
“That was when the princess and I were standing on the same road.”
The Beast Tomb King shook his head.
“It’s the same now. We’ve never parted.”
“It is already too late.”
“It is not too late. We are still sworn brothers in our hearts, so we can undo our past mistakes even now.”
“To me, they are all connections in the distant past.”
“And the younger brother, until now, in that past
I am captivated.”
u? n
“I also remember that day. How can we forget the day when the brightest and brightest child disappeared from this earth?”
Baeksang gritted his teeth. The memory of that day is painful just to think about it.
At the same time, on the one hand, I knew. When all the truth surrounding that day was revealed, there was someone who was as angry and sad as he was.
But all was in vain.
“Neither I nor the princess were helpless. The evidence proving their guilt is gone, and everything is buried in the peace that followed.”
The countless footsteps on the sandy beach were swept away by the waves that followed, but Baeksang remembered. The faces of those who turned away from their children in danger were engraved into their flesh and bones and chewed with their hearts.
I thought everyone was walking side by side on the wide sandy beach called Jungwon, but in reality, they were just taking the lead because they were of a different ethnicity.
“All of that can’t be forgotten or undone. But what about the princess… … !”
Baeksang, who was about to raise his voice, suddenly stopped talking. It was because he saw the sadness on the Beast Tomb King’s face before he knew it.
“You think I forgot? This poor father who had no choice but to let her children go first?”
fifty years ago.
Among the 10,000 warriors who headed to Central Plain, the children of the Beast Myowang were also included, and they did not survive to set foot on the southern lands.
“I still regret it. If only the Namman hadn’t become the palace master, if only he hadn’t headed for the battlefield. I wondered what it would have been like if I had turned down the children’s request to at least fight alongside their father.”
“Your brother is right. We were helpless, we were furious, we cried out in sorrow, but there was nothing we could do. But he had to return to Nanman. Because everyone was tired of pushing back the peace that had come after 10 years and starting another war.”
The Beast Tomb King let out a devastated laugh. At that time, the gap between the Southern Manchuria, which was only one of the outside powers, and the Central Plains was remarkable.
No, even looking at the sect M faction alone, they were comparatively inferior.
Mu Sang Jin-in, a great scholar of the time, was respected by many for his appearance befitting a Daehyeop, and when he lost his life in the final battle at Daeseolsan Mountain, countless literary factions and Murim people visited Jongnamsan Mountain.
“I just made a choice. Among the dead, the living, and vengeance and the cause.”
What happened after that was as everyone knows
The Beast Tomb King leads the survivors
He returned to southern Manchuria and faced numerous criticisms from those who lost their families.
“My life was full of regrets. However, I have never regretted the choice I made then. That’s how we came together and became richer and stronger than before, and we have the power to pursue the criminals of the past.”
Baek Sang’s face hardened at the story he had never heard before. But at the same time, there was also an incomprehensible emotion mixed in his eyes as he looked at the Beast Tomb King.
“But the princess will be on the side of the midfielder again this time.”
The Beast Cat King answered without hesitation.
“Yes, it will.”
“Why the hell… …
“Because it would be foolish to burn the whole forest just because one tree is sick.”
“What needs to be uprooted is what made the tree sick. If we recklessly burn the forest, the next place the fire will go is us.”
The Beast Tomb King continued with a sigh.
“The Demonic Cult was like that in the past, and Amcheon is like that now. We fought to protect the forest. This land is also part of the forest.”
It’s a fact that neither the Chinese nor the Southerners acknowledge.
Even though they are far apart, they live together in a forest called Heaven.
and,??… .
“Don’t you know, Baeksang?”
The person who understands it best is the Ui-je who is looking at him with shaky eyes.
“know. No matter what this brother said, he couldn’t hear it. It’s a long time ago that I can’t even remember, and the Baeksang of that time must have died and disappeared a long time ago.”
The children of the Beast Myowang were killed by the Demonic Cult, but the Baeksang’s only child was sacrificed due to the ignorance of those whom he believed to be allies.
As much as that, the size and depth of anger toward the midfielder must be different, but the Beast Cat King, who has been watching Baeksang for a long time, already guessed.
“I will not stop on my way now
noodle… … . brother will regret it In the past, now, and in the future”
Baeksang wanted to answer. I won’t regret it
He said that he would do anything for Hui, that child who was like everything to him, that he would go down this path willingly smiling even if he could be called a vengeful ghost while alive, and even if he were called a demon after death.
‘But why… …
why. why the hell
The thought that I had repeated hundreds or thousands of times in my mind over the past years is not coming out of my mouth at this moment. Even though I have already passed the road of no return, for what reason and why are you doing this? Baeksang and Baeksang The moment he threw an unanswerable question into his empty heart, the low voice of the Beast Cat King pierced his ears.
“I may step down from the position of the princess.”
Baeksang’s pupils shake at the words he couldn’t mourn. However, the Beast Cat King continued with a calmer tone than ever before.
“I didn’t hear that wrong. If my younger brother wants it, I’ll give up the position of the princess right now.”
Baeksang was confused. If the position of the head of state becomes vacant, one of the remaining warchiefs is appointed as the new head of state through a great council.
However, now that the two warchiefs, Heukwoong and Yohee, had disappeared, the meaning of Beast Myowang’s proposal was clear.
“… … You’re saying you’re going to make me the new princess instead of anyone else?”
“okay. It is as you hear.”
“Palace. Did you even go crazy?”
“Can that be?”
Thirty-two tribal chiefs actually move the South Bay Palace, but the authority given by the name of the palace cannot be ignored either.
“What the hell is this?”
Baeksang, who was looking at the Beast Cat King with incomprehensible eyes, suddenly shut his mouth.
In the attitude of the moment I realized something
‘no way
A thought flashed through my mind like a flash of light. At the same time, the Beast Tomb King slowly opened his mouth.
“Half-time, half-time is enough. Open the way for them.”
The time of anti-sijin, and the two letters of ‘them’.
That alone was enough for the guess to turn to certainty. Baeksang asked in a boiling voice.
“Why the hell, for what reason
Are you doing it?”
There was not an inch of shaking or hesitation in the Beast Myowang’s answer that came soon after.
“Because they came to help us. Just like we did in the past.”
“And I will help you. Like always.”
It’s already too late for that
Baeksang muttered something in his heart as if spitting it out, calling the guard who was waiting outside. No, he was about to call.
But for some reason neither his feet nor his lips came off.
Baeksang gently closed his eyes, but the voice that should have been let go was still ringing in his ears.
– How much more blood are you going to shed, Baeksang?
* * *
Their movements through the darkness were quiet and stealthy.
Shish shush!
The wind splits and the leaves sway at the swiftness of the figures shooting in one direction.
And by the time someone noticed it, it was already too late.
Whoops, Tuduk!
A body that collapses stiffly. A person holding a torch in his hand licked his lips – open the prison.
Hwareuk
Yayulmok’s face was reflected on the flickering torch.
