(EP-110.1) Legacy #1
110 – Demon King’s Legacy #1
─Seongeum-ah, your dongsaengs are graduating-.
[T/N: “-ah” is like “-nim” but used to refer to close people or friends, dongsaengs ans younger siblings]
The hesitant teacher finally opened his mouth. To which I responded as if I already knew.
Because there was only one reason why the eloquent teacher would be stuttering like this.
─I’ll get paid from my part-ti job soon. I’ll share so to buy clothes when they enter college.
The teacher stroked his long side-hair in guilt.
─It must be difficult for you to live on your own. I’m sorry for always asking so much of you.
─They will also be adults when they graduate, so this will be the last ti. They’ll also get part-ti work of their own. Rather, any news about the thing I talked about?
—Ah, that. I got soone. I’m looking into it. In particular, there’s soone who said they’ve t last ti….
My heart raced at the positive response. However, contrary to my feelings, the teacher’s expression was not so bright.
─Do you really want to see her? I’ve seen a lot of friends who went to find their mother after becoming adults, and there are many cases of not finding what they’ve been expecting to say the least.
My teacher wasn’t too keen on finding my mother.
─Sotis, so things are best left unknown.
But I was dying of curiosity.
Why did she leave ?
And after you left , where and how were you living now?
So I started tracking the information of the woman, who was perhaps my mother, that left at the orphanage. Now, it paid off and I was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
But if we really did et, what should we talk about?
Would she even see ?
─I don’t know you. Why are you looking for ?
—Honey, who is he?
─I don’t know, he’s been stalking !
What if I got treated harshly?
No, I still had so slight expectations.
The woman in my mory, a fragnt of a very young childhood, was very sweet and warm. She would often stroke my hair with her warm hands.
It was like that that day too.
━Listen to the teachers carefully and wait. I’ll co pick you up soon.
I believed those words and waited.
Until the mont when the back of the woman, which looked very big at the ti, disappeared in the distance.
Hoping that she’d turn around and co back for .
But as ti passed, after so many years, she still didn’t show up. Now, I was already an adult.
So I’d go.
I’d go to her myself.
Finally, standing at the door of a store where she was said to be working, I took a deep breath and…, I opened the door.
Dalrang, dalrang-.
The door bells chid as I made eye contact with a woman.
The woman was very young and had dark hair. She wore a crown on her head and was looking down at with her proud and arrogant eyes.
─You’re late, Theo.
—Aira-nim?
Why was Aira here? Then when I turned, I saw high columns rising and the floor being covered with a colorful velvet carpet.
Before I knew it, I found myself at Angmar’s Palace.
Seuk-.
Aira, who was sitting on her high throne, rose.
─I’ll punish you for being late.
Aira pinched my cheeks and lifted up. It hurted!
What was this?
It was then that I realized.
Ah, it was a dream.
Then, in an instant, everything around began to ripple like water, before popping like a balloon.
* * *
Seuk-.
As I slowly opened my eyes, I could feel soone pulling my cheeks.
All I could see were dark stone walls, decorated with torches. This was no Angmar Palace.
Calmness imdiately surged to help clear my thoughts.
Ah right, we got trapped in a secret room underneath the Draco Family’s manor. I must have fallen asleep and had a dream.
「You have calmly judged the situation!
