Episode 207 Floating the odds (2)
Chae Yeo-min, standing at the entrance to the Demon God Palace, put her back on her back and kicked a stone with her toe.
Sodang was restless.
“Princess. “I’ll just go to my place…”
“I don’t want to.”
“Princess!”
“When your brother cos out, we will eat together. “I’m not going.”
Sodang bit his lip.
After thinking for a mont, she spoke in a much calr voice.
“I don’t think the Three Princes would want you to wait.”
“How do you know that?”
“How upset would you be if you knew that you were waiting for no reason. “You know that the three princes care for you very much, right?”
Chae Yeo-min smiled brightly.
Then he pouted his lips.
“Would your brother not like it if I wait here?”
“Probably so…”
“But Sodang didn’t ask you either.”
At this level, it is safe to say that they are making a fuss for no reason.
Sodang sighed inwardly.
‘not good.’
She wasn’t very happy about Chae Yeo-min hanging out with Seo-ryang.
Of course, I realized later that the malicious rumor was sothing the Archduke had cooked up. It was clear that he had misunderstood that part.
But a misunderstanding is just a misunderstanding. The Seoryang that Sodang saw was like a bullet that could explode at any mont.
‘The current princess cannot handle the three princesses. No, maybe it could be like that forever.’
Sodang bit his lip.
‘Even though the succession battle will be concluded this year, it’s still not right to give up.’
She wanted Chae Yeo-min to beco stronger. I wanted to beco stronger. I wanted to beco more mature as a person.
So, he earnestly hoped to confidently take the presidency, beco the master of Protestantism, and live comfortably.
However, looking at the situation, it seed unlikely that Chae Yeo-min would beco the successor. If, as rumored, the succession battle is concluded within this year.
If so?
‘It doesn’t seem likely, but there is a possibility that other candidates will be eliminated to strengthen the power base.’
It was also the reason why princes worked hard to beco emperors. They run wild to seize power and at the sa ti struggle for survival.
why? When you beco emperor, it is customary to kill all your brothers who may beco your political enemies in the future.
It is not important whether the brothers who did not beco emperors have the ability or not. The brothers were killed in order to leave no room for rebellion, centered around the princes who could not continue the imperial line.
‘That’s how it will be…’
A dangerous light flickered in Sodang’s eyes.
There are many ways to assassinate a master. If you are a master of extre magic, the chances of success may be slim, but if you look for it, you will find it.
At that ti, Chae Yeo-min looked up at Sodang.
“Sodang?”
“yes?”
“What are you thinking like that?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I’ll take a mont…”
Sodang shook his head inwardly.
I was frustrated with myself for even thinking about assassinating the Three Dukes for a mont. Even if you succeed, it’s a problem, but if you fail, the misfortune will also reach Chae Yeo-min.
This is a thod that should never be done. It shouldn’t be like that, even for Chae Yeo-min’s sake.
But…
‘Is all I can really do is wait patiently?’
Chae Yeo-min’s eyes widened.
“uh?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Sister.”
“yes?”
Sodang was surprised when he saw where Chae Yeo-min was pointing.
“Oh Gongnyeo?!”
Joo Seo-yoon approached Chae Yeo-min.
Chae Yeo-min placed both hands on her stomach and bowed.
“You ca.”
He looked very different from when he was with Sodang. I could see that Chae Yeo-min was having a bit of a hard ti with Joo Seo-yoon because she was very polite.
Joo Seo-yoon glanced at Sodang.
“What are you doing here?”
“yes? Ah yes! Princess Chae Yeo-min
waved her hand.
“I’m waiting for my third brother.”
Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes lit up.
“Third brother?”
“yes. “When you co out, let’s eat together.”
“It’s rice…”
Joo Seo-yoon looked at the door of the Demon God’s Palace.
“Then I guess Master is talking to you now.”
“yes!”
A ray of shadow fell over Joo Seo-yoon’s expressionless face.
She knew roughly what was going on. Furthermore, how dangerous is Seosyang now?
‘Master won’t just let it go this ti.’
Rather than using anything else, treason was used as a weapon. Because of that, the entire Protestant church was put on high alert.
Moreover, Jin Guanyong and Guan Ping did not really commit treason. In other words, they paralyzed Protestantism with false information.
If he couldn’t co up with a convincing explanation, Seo-ryang wouldn’t be able to walk through that door.
Joo Seo-yoon shook his head.
“Let’s go eat with .”
“yes?”
“You don’t like it?”
Chae Yeo-min was embarrassed.
“Oh no! But is it okay if you eat with ?”
“Why wouldn’t it be okay?”
“…I thought you didn’t like .”
Joo Seo-yoon almost laughed without realizing it. When I see Chae Yeo-min so honest, I sotis feel envious.
“Let’s go to Jamiru.”
Chae Yeo-min, who had been lost in thought with her mouth closed, nodded.
“great. song. Instead, please tell sothing delicious. “I will buy it for my brother later.”
Joo Seo-yoon nodded.
“okay.”
“yes! uh? But is it okay if I go to Jamiru?”
“are you okay.”
“I heard that Jamiru will be closed for a while? I know that Rouge is also receiving treatnt at the Blood Soul Pavilion. “I wasn’t hurt, but…”
The shock must have been great.
However, Joo Seo-yoon did not want to worry about Rouge’s ntal state. I just want to eat the food prepared by Jamiru’s masters.
“It’s not closed. let’s go.”
“yes!”
So the two won walked side by side.
Sodang, who followed the two from behind, finally showed a look of relief on his face.
Oh Gong Nyeo is better than the Three Dukes.
* * *
Is it because of my mood?
As soon as Seoliang entered Daejeon, the air seed to have beco twice as heavy.
“I’m here.”
“Are you here?”
Even though the atmosphere was so stuffy, the two people were like usual. At least that was the case so far.
Hu Yaosheng lowered his head.
“If you speak to the leader, I will leave my convictions….”
“Stay here.”
“yes?”
Lee Cheon-sang still spoke in a drowsy tone.
“He is the one who created the worst political strife in Protestant history. “Isn’t the military departnt busy trying to control the situation on campus?”
“Oh, that’s true.”
“Shouldn’t we listen to the conversation and make a decision on whether or not to put that guy in prison?”
It was a statent that would send shivers down the spine of anyone who heard it. Hu Yaocheng’s eyes automatically turned to Xu Liang.
Xiliang scratched his head.
“It’s scary right from the start.”
“You brought this on yourself.”
“I won’t deny it.”
“It is sothing that cannot be denied.”
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was burying his back in the royal temple, straightened his upper body. It was a rare upright posture.
“It was a mistake to choose treason as a thod to eliminate competitors. Do you know why?”
“The quality is bad in that it created room for the school’s leaders to abuse it in the future.”
“Yes. Most of the students on campus see through the essence of this situation. “Treason is a serious sin that cannot be forgiven by any cause, but it was brought out as a weapon of political strife.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes beca dull.
“At the sa ti, it is a fight that proves to yourself that your own abilities are not enough to overwhelm everyone else. “If you had real abilities, there would be no need to take this risk.”
It was a cold and sharp gaze.
“Therefore, no matter how thorough your preparations are, it will not be easy to convince .”
“I know.”
“There is no need to take a long ti. “Get started.”
Seo-ryang thought for a mont and scratched his head.
“It feels like a burden to hear you say that.”
“….”
“I’ll give you this first.”
Seoyang took out a letter from his arms.
Wooooow.
The letter spontaneously ca to mind and flew to Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened. This is because I read the strange sll of blood emanating from the letter.
“What is this?”
“Please read.”
It’s quite a cocky move. Of course, Lee Cheon-sang did not care about such trivial matters as before.
Lee Cheon-sang opened the letter like that.
Flash!
The glow in his eyes beca bright.
“I wrote it down well with my free hand. Of course it’s handwritten.”
“….”
“If you have a hard ti believing it, you can check.”
Hu Yaosheng was surprised.
I was surprised to see that the letter was Gwanpyeong’s confession, and I was surprised to see a rare expression of surprise on Lee Cheon-sang’s face when he saw it.
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been looking at Seo-ryang with surprised eyes, looked down at Seo-ryang again.
He opened his mouth.
“’The two brothers’ abilities were outstanding, so I was not confident that I would win this succession battle. At that ti, Grand Duke Jin Gwan-yong suggested a way to ascend to the highest rank and at the sa ti promised to create a new position of assistant teacher and place in that position. So, I accepted to train with him, but since I don’t know when the leader’s reign will end, I took this opportunity to et the leader…’”
Those last words were received by Seo-ryang.
“In order to eliminate it, we decided to improve the magic technique of the two-body demon.”
“….”
“In the end, Archduke Jin Guanyong died and I was imprisoned for the serious cri of harming the Heavenly Demon Army. Since I have lost my qualifications as a successor anyway, I am writing down the circumstances in order to be confident in the end, so please forgive .”
“You know it all by heart.”
“That’s right.”
Xu Liang smiled.
“Because I told you to write it down like that.”
It was an extrely shaless statent. It was sothing we could say without hesitation because we both knew the truth of this situation.
However, not everyone has the ability to say that to the religious leader’s face. Hu Yaosheng was amazed at Xiliang’s boldness.
Sreuk.
Lee Cheon-sang, who placed the letter on the table, kept an eye on Seo-ryang.
“How did you do it?”
It was a word with multiple anings.
Xu Liang said with a smile.
“I decided to represent him. “If only you would admit that this is treason.”
“Does that an the second child confessed?”
“That’s right.”
“Treason is an unpardonable grave sin. Regardless of the reason, he will be executed unconditionally. “And yet you managed to get a confession like this.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.
“You’re not clumsy enough to be caught off guard, so did you make a separate deal?”
Even in the midst of surprise, his keen insight remains. I realized once again that he was a person who couldn’t hide anything.
Of course, I had no intention of hiding it.
“He said he would cure my madness and teach how to ascend to the top.”
“Is this the way to get to the top?”
“yes. And he said that when he awakens to the extre, he will be of moderation.”
“dium?”
“Yes, if I beco the leader of the cult.”
Huh.
The air, which was already heavy, beca even heavier.
The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose.
“You managed to instill that confidence in .”
“yes?”
“…Are you really planning to choose the second child?”
“of course. ah! What if I beco the leader of the cult? “Even though I may not be cheap, I keep the promises I make.”
“Interesting. But isn’t that a promise that can be kept on the premise that the second child doesn’t die?”
“That’s right. That’s why.”
Xiliang fell flat on his face.
“Please, please save him.”
