47. A warrior faces death (4)
Eventually, we reached the door.
I held Regin’s hand tightly. I gathered courage and opened the door.
But the scenery in front of me did not match anything I had imagined.
A girl wearing a dark dress was eating.
Next to him is Yulgeum, a beautiful woman with golden hair. He was
holding a thin stick and
teaching etiquette to the girl.
“stop! If you cut the food that big, wouldn’t it fill your mouth? “Eating while making chomping noises is what animals do.”
“I’ll do it again.”
“Good, you have a good attitude toward learning.”
“thank you. teacher.”
Signi asked in a whisper with a surprised face.
“Are you talking already?”
“Well… you shouldn’t think about human children. Yulgeum
is pouring a tremendous amount of knowledge into her head.”
“You two over there, be quiet. “Right now I’m teaching them eating manners.”
Signi bowed her head and closed her mouth at Yulgeum’s sharp voice.
Signy and Regin sat quietly on chairs in the corner of the room.
“Don’t talk with food in your mouth. “If you can’t even keep that, then starve yourself.”
“Yes, teacher.”
“Then try it again.”
” yes.”
The little lady cut the meat with a knife
and put it in her mouth.
I quietly chewed the small piece and swallowed it without a sound.
The elegance is already beginning to appear in the fingertips. It was clear how strictly the child was taught.
“Character is not developed automatically. “When beauty becomes ingrained in you after repeating it a hundred and thousand times, your character first begins to grow.”
“Yes, teacher.”
“Then let’s practice over and over again.”
“yes!” Yulgeum left her behind
and approached where
Signi was.
“How are you feeling?”
“Thanks to Yulgeum, I’m okay.”
“It’s thanks to Lexia, not me.”
“ah! “Where is Lexia now?”
“I went hunting. Because I need to get food. “I live here with Regin, taking turns taking care of you and finding food.”
“Have I been unconscious for a long time?”
“It’s been a month.”
” really?”
“Then should I lie to you?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
SIGNI bowed his head slightly. Then, a thought occurred to me and I looked at Yulgeum.
Yulgeum gave an angry rebuke to Signi.
“Are you a child with no sense of spirit?”
” yes?”
“Wishing to the devil! “ It’s not like we don’t know how many fates were mixed up because of Zeke’s mistake 10 years ago
!”
“ah! That’s…
“Anyway, if criminals do get into an accident, they end up doing it big.”
“sorry.”
“it’s okay. “Because it’s already happened.”
“Brother Zeke must have already come back alive.”
“No, not yet.”
“I came back in just a few minutes.”
“The angels did something. “Time will pass here as long as they spent there.”
“I was there for about 280 days.”
“No one knows whether it will be longer or shorter than that. “It will take a long time to come back depending on the accumulated karma.”
Yulgeum sighed briefly.
“Now is not the time to worry about them. “We need to focus on that guy right now.”
What Yulgeum was pointing at with his chin was none other than the devil’s child.
“I haven’t even decided on a name yet, but he’s already grown so much.”
“I was surprised too.”
“I’m still far from being surprised.”
Yulgeum shook his head and said something to the girl.
“Why are you peeking here while I’m eating?”
“sorry.”
“done. Stop for a moment and come here.”
“Yes, teacher.”
A smile spread across the girl’s lips. I wiped my mouth with a napkin and got up from the chair without making a sound.
Only after pushing the chair back into place did the girl come to where Signi was.
Signi saw the face of her child for the first time.
And I was shocked. Because he looks so similar to himself.
At a time when she was wondering what to say first, the girl naturally hugged Signy’s waist tightly.
” mom!”
“Call me mother.”
Yulgeum said something, but the girl didn’t listen.
I rubbed my face and sniffed.
“You’re acting like an animal again!”
The girl didn’t care and dug into Signi’s body.
Signi hugged the girl tightly.
Yulgeum did not scold the girl anymore.
If you think about it, teaching them etiquette was also to suppress their demonic habits.
There is no better place to teach love than a mother’s arms.
One hug is better than a thousand harsh words and a thousand teachings.
Signy lifted the girl up in his arms.
Such a big baby right from the moment he was born. It felt a little strange, but I quickly got used to it.
We stayed together for 10 years.
It’s amazing how a child you meet for the first time feels so familiar to you.
“It was this sound. It was this smell. I remember everything. “I hear and remember all the voices and thoughts my mother uttered within her body.”
“Oh, if I ever cursed anyone, please forget it.”
“Mom!”
The girl hugged Signy, and Signy
hugged her tightly again.
“Why are you making such a fuss when you spend every day with your mother?”
The girl smiled and said, “Hey,” Yulgeum suddenly said.
“Every day is too short.”
“We must quickly become independent. “Children go through puberty as early as 10 years old.”
Yulgeum said this and looked at Signi again.
“It hurts to talk about it again, but this kid is special. “The birth itself is the same, and more than anything else… the level of pure blood
is so high that it’s strange.”
“Purebloods too? Does this mean that the blood of a warrior flows?”
“that’s right. “I expected it to some extent since I was raised with your blood, but my pureblood level is 49%.”
It was difficult for Signi to find what to say in response to Yulgeum’s words.
“Is that… the shame of the world?”
“Of course not. In theory, he could have at least had the first hero’s child?”
“I guess so. Because half of it
will be in my father’s blood.”
“I guess we can say that God’s breath was involved. Besides, technically this child is generation zero.”
“…49% pure blood in Generation Zero..
“Almost certainly the last hero.”
Signy’s expression hardened.
The last warrior.
It was a name referring to a hero who had the destiny to kill the Demon King.
Just thinking about it was ominous.
“That’s not possible! “We can’t raise this child to be a warrior.”
“Then are you planning to raise me to be a demon lord?”
Signy kept his mouth shut.
Of course, he must be raised as a demon lord. Because this child is of Deus blood.
But those words did not come out of my mouth easily.
“Think about it carefully. Which one is better for this child? While I was thinking about it, I also thought about the name. “Even if I discuss the official name with my father, I have to call him whatever he wants for now.”
“I’ve thought about that. “What about the remaining Migo after subtracting Deus from Demiurge?”
“It’s an appropriate name for that person. I like Migo. “Let’s just call it that for now.”
Meego’s growth was truly enormous.
From the second month after birth, he began to absorb a lot of knowledge, including swordsmanship and magic and general liberal arts.
In the human world, Lexia was in charge of teaching warrior science.
As a woman from an elite family, she knew a lot and was quite an excellent teacher.
The Yulgeum barrier was limited to just one building and
it was impossible to go out, but on the other hand, there was no danger inside.
Migo lived a peaceful life within that narrow enclosure.
They ate human food and acquired human habits.
However, his true nature as a demon king was often revealed. Especially when sparring, it was almost like an animal.
Sparring with Migo was mainly Regin’s job.
Putting aside the warrior’s weapons of shield and sword, Migo
preferred to fight with his fists.
Wearing leather gloves, he faced Regin’s sword and shield.
Thanks to his cat-like agile movements, even Regin often lost sight of Migo.
“Why don’t you use a shield and a sword?”
“no! “Use your uncle.”
“You really have no manners without Yulgeum by your side.”
“So are you going to scold me?”
“You…
Regin was speechless.
I couldn’t scold him. It was even more so because of the guilt of trying to kill Migo,
who was not even born .
“Yulgeum is too strict. “My uncle and mom are so kind.”
“But what Yulgeum says is correct.”
“Tell me about Uncle Zeke.”
Migo spoke up.
Regin smiled as he looked at his cute nephew.
“Brother Zeke…
I thought the hatred had penetrated to the bone marrow.
There was only a feeling of hatred. But…
just by changing my mind, the longing piled up like a mountain.
The rest of the emotions passed through Che’s eyes and were discarded, leaving only the emotions he felt when he was five years old.
It seems that it was he who was cursed, not Zeke and Signy.
With that in mind, Regin told Migo the story of Zeke’s heroism.
“Brother Zeke is the only warrior who fought the Demon King twice. “Over the past 666 years, countless warriors have fought against the Demon King, but you were the first to fight twice.”
“Did you win?”
“We won once and it was a draw the second time.”
“The second person you fought was your father, right?”
“O” Hmm.
They did not hide that Migo was the devil’s daughter.
Usually, the more a secret of birth is hidden, the more it is likely to spread in unwanted directions.
Besides, it wasn’t something that could be hidden just by hiding it. I thought that
if I told her the truth and raised her in the right direction, there
would be less problems later.
“What is the devil?”
“He’s a villain. “Once every 100 years, they invade the human world and kill people.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“You covet land where the sun rises.”
” why?”
“That’s because all living things like sunken land.”
“why?”
“It feels good to be out in the sun.”
” why?”
“So, all living things like sunny soil.”
“Then you can share it.”
“huh?”
“Give the land to the demons. “I heard they also like sunny land.”
“Well…
“Why are you going to war? Do you like fighting and killing that much? Will I like it too?”
“no! You have the blood of a warrior flowing in your veins. “A warrior is someone who protects the weak and protects people.”
“why?”
“Because God commanded it.”
“Why do you only protect humans? “Can’t we protect the demons?”
“Because demons are the enemy.”
“Then am I an enemy too? “I’m also half demon.”
“ You
left Regin speechless.
If you hit someone and become an adult, that’s it! I wanted to say that, but in reality, the age difference was only 5 years. If you are a child, you are still a child.
“Why fight? I am a demon, but my mom is human. Demons and humans can get along well, right? Uncle Zeke is dead now. And the demon king father went to the underworld to save Uncle Zeke. Because we were close, wouldn’t we have gone to the world of death? “Why go to war when we can be friends?”
“There is good and evil in the world.”
“I heard they invade because they like sunny soil. “That’s not evil.”
“Demons are ferocious. “After killing someone, they eat the body.”
“Don’t humans do that?”
“That
was Regin’s defeat once again.
When asked whether humans are vicious, I could not answer yes.
