Episode 666
Unexpected Guest. Despite the sudden appearance of the Beast Cat King, Baeksang’s voice was calm.
“Don’t you already know, my lord?”
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 Manya Palace.
At least in the inner palace,
he was aware of the white statue’s every move.
“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?”
“They also let me know that no one can stop it.”
It was only when the word was aimed at him that the Tomb Keeper’s eyes sank deeply.
“Do you really think that way?”
“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 continued with a low tone,
“Did you forget the oath that the ancestors of this land gathered under one flag hundreds of years ago?”
U ≫
“The result does not change. The agenda for tomorrow’s final meeting is the execution of Han Chinese Jin Tae-gyeong. He knows that the balance of power has already tipped.
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 King of Beast Tomb, who cut off Baeksang’s words, continued with a sigh,
“Didn’t Jin Tae-kyung tell that child? A story about Hui.”
U ≫
Incontinence spread to Baeksang’s unshakable expression. It was the same in the past, and it is the same 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 kept his mouth shut. The two letters “we” approached especially loudly. The two letters that were natural for the two of them but are now unfamiliar to them, but???
… .
”
Beast Cat King shook his head,
“It’s the same now, we’ve never parted.”
“It is already too late.”
“It’s not too late. We’re still bloody brothers in our hearts, so we can undo our past mistakes even now.”
“To me, they are all connections in the distant past.” “And my brother is still
haunted
by the past .”
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 has disappeared and everything is buried in the peace that followed.” The
countless steps 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 ethnic group.
“All of that can’t be forgotten or undone. But why is the palace owner…!”
Baeksang, who was about to raise his voice, suddenly stopped talking. It was because he saw the sadness on the face of the Beast Cat King before he knew it.
“Do you think I forgot? This ugly father who had no choice but to?”
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 live to set foot on the land
of Southern Manchuria. “I still regret it. .I wondered what it would have been like if I had refused the children’s request to fight at least with their father.” “
Your brother is right. Because everyone was tired of pushing back the peace that had come after 10 years and starting another war.”
Beast Myowang let out a devastated laugh. At the time, the gap between the southerners, who were only one of the outside powers, and the central plains was remarkable. No, even in
terms of sect M faction alone, they were comparatively inferior
.人) was respected by many for his appearance worthy of Daehyeop, and when he lost his life in the final battle at Daeseolsan Mountain, countless munpa and Murim people visited Jongnamsan Mountain
. Between.”
What happened after that was as everyone knows.
Beast Tomb King led the survivors
back to southern Manchuria and faced numerous criticisms from those who lost their family members:
“My life was full of regrets, but I never regretted the choices I made then. .In that way, we are united as one, richer and stronger than before, and equipped with the power to pursue the criminals of the past.”
Baek Sang’s face stiffened at the story he had never heard before, but at the same time, his gaze at Beast Myo King was mixed with emotions he couldn’t
understand
. Chi answered without hesitation,
“Yes, I will.”
“Why on earth…
“Because it’s stupid to burn down an entire forest just because one tree is sick.”
“What needs to be uprooted is the cause that made the tree sick. If we burn the forest recklessly, the next place the fire will go is us.”
Beast Myowang continued with a sigh,
“The Demonic Cult was like that in the past, and Amcheon is like that now. We were fighting 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 then,??…
“You know that too, Baeksang.” “I know
that the person who understands it the most is Uiji, who is looking at him with shaky eyes
. No matter what this brother said, he couldn’t hear it. They say it’s a long time ago that I can’t even remember, and the Baeksang of that time has long since died and disappeared.”
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.
“If you don’t stop on the way you are now
… your younger brother will regret it. In the past and now￡ and in the future”
Baeksang wanted to answer. Saying that he has no regrets,
that he can do anything for that child who is like everything to himself, that he can do anything for Hui. ”
But why…
why… why the hell why?
The thought that I’ve been replaying hundreds of thousands of times in my mind over the past years is not coming out of my mouth at this moment. I have passed a road that I can never go back to.” Even though he came, for what reason and why is he doing this? Baeksang, and at the moment Baeksang asked a question he could not answer in his empty heart, the low voice of the Beast and Myowang pierced his ears
. Baeksang’s pupils trembled at the saddened words, but Beast Myowang continued with a calmer tone than
ever
before .
If the position of the head of the palace becomes vacant, one of the remaining warchiefs will go through a great council and take office as the new palace.
However, now that the two warchiefs, Heukwoong and Yohee, have disappeared, what does the Beast Cat King’s proposal mean? It was clear: “…You’re going to set me as the new
palace princess, not anyone else?” ”
Yes.
That’s what I heard.
”
There are 32 tribal chiefs, but the authority given by the name of the palace cannot be
ignored
. I realized something in an instant from
his calm and calm attitude, which was different from usual.
‘A thought
flashed through my mind like a flash. At the same time, the Beast Cat King slowly opened his mouth
. .Open the way for them.”
The time of anti-sijin and the two letters ‘them’
were enough to turn guesses into convictions. Baeksang asked in a boiling voice.
“Why the hell
are you doing this?”
There was no wavering or hesitation in the Beast Cat King’s answer that came immediately afterward:
“Because they came to help us. Just like we did in the past.”
“And I will help you, as always.”
“It’s already too late for that,”
said Baeksang, muttering in his heart, called or tried to call the guard who was waiting outside.
But for some reason, neither his feet nor his lips moved.
Baeksang gently closed his eyes and should have let him go. The voice to say was still ringing in my ears.
–
How much more blood are you going
to
shed ?
The leaves split and the leaves sway,
and by the time
someone noticed it was already too late.
– Open the prison cell.
Yayul-
mok’s face was reflected on the torch shimmering in the fire
.
