Episode 390 Brisingamen
Ugh! crying-!
A child is heard crying. The voice of a child crying sadly in the dark is heard spreading towards the two of them.
The next moment, the darkness that covered Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung lifted and the son-in-law became brighter.
Soon after, a beautiful woman’s face and clear voice entered.
It stops the two of them from moving.
“why. why are you crying so much Mom is here.”
The woman’s voice was infinitely warm.
As usual for parents looking at their beloved child, her face is full of only smiles.
A clean smile without that common annoyance.
This made the viewer forget even what they were in right now. I just feel blind love and warmth.
While Jaehyun was watching blankly, Yoojung Kim suddenly asked.
“That woman… can’t it be…?”
“……okay. Seeing how pretty she is, she must be Freyja.”
Jaehyun calmed down and said calmly.
Somehow, she felt Kim Yoo-jung’s staring eyes reaching her, but now was not the time to talk about it.
Moreover, Jaehyun’s words were persuasive.
Freya. she is the god of beauty
Her cream color, which appeared in mythology, is said to be truly phenomenal, and it was said that the level was unparalleled.
Jaehyun had never seen a woman as beautiful as Freya in her life.
A face that is strangely different from those who are called beautiful in the human world.
She was singing a lullaby for her child.
“Let’s focus. Even if it’s a piece of memory, you don’t know what will happen.”
Jaehyun focused his mind as he said that. As he expected, things didn’t take long.
It was because Freya’s expression hardened coldly as she heard a knock from outside. She gave more strength to the hand that held her child.
Why?
Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung felt a strange sense of anxiety in that scene.
It’s like looking up at the dark clouded sky before a bout of rain. A feeling of being soaked in such unpleasantness suddenly enveloped the two of them.
Then comes Freya’s slightly trembling voice.
“Who are you? What happened?”
“I have been ordered by Odin.”
Odin’s henchman, who was waiting outside, spoke. Freya’s brow was completely wrinkled. It seemed that she hadn’t yet sided with Odin.
The edge stood at her words.
“I would have said it before. I will not go to war with Odin. I don’t like using humans, and I won’t oppress other gods and races.”
“Odin said he would respect Freya’s wishes. I only came once to ask you to join the Aesir at a meal.”
Freya seemed to think for a moment, but eventually put the child down and sighed and started to pick out a dress from the closet.
At that moment, Freya’s monologue was heard in Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung’s ears.
[I regretted my decision to attend Odin’s banquet that day for the rest of my life.]
[I shouldn’t have gone to the banquet.]
[I shouldn’t have believed Odin’s ugly lie…]
The two of them spit again . It fell over once, and the son-in-law went dark again. The two instinctively realized that they were moving to the next scene.
that disturbing monologue.
That something happened out of it.
‘What this means is still unknown.’
However, I was sure that the dinner hosted by Odin would not stop at just a leisurely party.
However, I can’t help it.
Now I just have to watch.
* * *
Subsequently, pieces containing Freya and Odin’s memories are clearly engraved on the retinas of Jae-Hyun and Kim Yoo-Jung.
It took my breath away just to watch.
It wasn’t just a matter of tension. It was because overwhelming mana was leaking out from everywhere to the point of nausea.
The image of Freya attending the banquet came out briefly, and then the scene changed again.
Kim Yoo-jung felt a little nauseous because of the screen that rotated frequently.
It was okay for Jaehyun because he had been through this often, but it seemed like he wasn’t used to it.
Jaehyun asked with a worried expression.
“hey. Are you okay?”
“Ah oh.”
Before you can answer correctly, the next scene plays again. This time it was from someone other than Freyja.
I see a palace with a throne and large windows.
Jaehyun sighed and looked at the person sitting there.
“Odin.”
“Is that… Odin?”
Kim Yoo-jung asked Jae-hyun, who was muttering.
“okay. The beginning of all cases… from him.”
The fact that the races of the nine worlds were oppressed. That the world was out of balance.
Also, the fact that Jaehyun is now facing an extreme situation.
It all started with the existence sitting on that throne.
Jaehyun bit his lip. Kim Yoo-jung realized that he was angry now.
Hugin was also by his side. Odin asks Hugin.
“so. The way to capture Freyja is really sure, isn’t it? Hugin.”
“of course.”
There was also a black screen.
Jaehyun thought about that and focused as much as possible on the conversation between the two. Their story was full of shocking things, so Jae-hyun and Kim Yoo-jung had to try to suppress their anger as much as possible.
“The child’s soul was stolen. I only managed to capture that piece, but…well, this would be enough to fool her.”
Hugin spoke to Odin and held out a small necklace in front of him.
At that moment, Jaehyun felt an uneasy imagination branching out in his mind. Hopefully not. I thought so, but the opponents were Odin and Hugin.
“A child’s soul contains about 10%. After all, magic that defies the law is still difficult to handle properly…”
Odin examined the necklace and then nodded.
“Still, at this level, we can get her on our side. Go then.”
“All right.”
At Odin’s words, a shadow rises from under Hugin’s feet and he disappears.
As always, it was a magic that hid the appearance he had seen.
“That… is it possible that Freyja’s child’s soul was fragmented into pieces?”
Kim Yoo-jung asked with a breathless face as if she didn’t want to believe it. Jaehyun wanted to shake his head there, but unfortunately, what she said was true.
The tiny vitality felt within it. It was because it was felt from the child Freya was holding a moment ago.
Freya’s monologue continues.
[After returning from the banquet, what I saw in front of me was my child, who had already turned into a cold corpse. My lovely child… He is not breathing anymore.]
* * *
The scene switched again.
Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung’s shock continued.
Hugin visits Freyja. He is seen rolling on the dirt floor of the gymnasium. However, there is not a hint of agitation on his face.
After all, it was the crow itself that felt no emotion.
“How dare you do that with my child…!! I will tear you to death Odin and you…!”
“Calm down.”
It was the time when Freya, who had lost her temper at Hugin’s words, began to slowly thrust the blade into his throat. Hugin’s voice approached her in the worst possible way.
“The child can still be saved.”
Saying that, Hugin held out his necklace.
It wasn’t something decorated with beautiful decorations or stuffed with precious jewels, as people had heard in the world.
It just contained Freya’s most precious thing.
It contained fragments of the child’s soul. Freya’s hands trembled at the faint breath of her child that she felt from it.
“Go to war. If you hold the nine worlds in your hands with Odin, your child will be spared. I vouch for it.”
“Are you going to bargain… with my child?”
“If it is for the sake of peace, I will gladly do so.”
Hugin’s words. It was too paradoxical.
To say the word peace after ruining a person’s life? Jaehyun was genuinely disgusted with him.
He suffered that way too.
He lost his mother and attacked himself. That, of course, was painful for Jaehyun. It was humiliating and I wanted to pay it back.
he knew That that was Odin and Hugin’s main tactic.
But there’s never a way to get over it. A person who is caught mortgaging what is dear to him becomes the weakest and the strongest.
Knowing that, Odin and Hugin must have made such a proposal. I also knew Jaehyun. Of course, I didn’t understand it with my head, but that’s the worst option. I also knew that it was the best for Odin.
Jaehyun thought.
Freya would not be able to refuse their offer.
Sometimes, there are things that can be exchanged for beliefs in life.
He knew it more clearly than anyone else.
[I thought for a long time, but I realized that nothing is more important to me than a child. So… I’ve decided to become Odin’s dog.]
If that’s necessary, then so be it. Even if it was a reproduction.
I probably had to do that.
Then, after Hugin disappeared, Freya hugged the necklace and sang while shedding tears.
Lullaby.
The endless lullaby rang through the gymnasium for a long time.
* * *
Freya stood on the battlefield.
Other gods, giants, and elven races condemned her.
It was a seemingly reasonable accusation. Freya. Wasn’t she betraying her belief that she would never stand on Odin’s side?
But what happened in between. she didn’t tell anyone
Because Odin asked for it.
Also, since her own child was held hostage, she could not act hastily.
[Odin spread a rumor to me who lost my child and tried to get him back. ‘She coveted a beautiful necklace and joined Odin’s side in order to have it.’]
[But I can’t help it. If only I could bring my child back to life. If I could feel the weak but warm warmth that gripped my index finger, if I could sing a lullaby again, I could do anything.]
Freya puts on her helmet.
But why?
The smell that emanated from it was not like that of steel, but it felt like the thick smell of blood that someone else would shed because of him in the future.
Numerous Valkyrie troops follow her.
Numerous white wings rise in the air and on the ground, and flags engraved with crows symbolizing Odin float on the battlefield.
she shouts in a voice mixed with resentment.
“All charge!”
With him, the first Ragnarok began.
It was the beginning of a war.
