Chapter 1275 – Muan Deul Gaiden 35. Predestined Crisis.

“Ughhhhh.”

I slowly open my eyes with a shattering headache.

The same ceiling as yesterday greets you.

I hope everything is a dream every night

I prayed, but it seemed to be of no avail.

It’s like seeing the beginning of the same day repeat every day.

“Whoa…”

Let out a light sigh.

Snap

Soon after, I slowly reach out my hand, hold the mirror nearby, and look at his face.

In longing, a haggard woman full of red bloodshot pensiveness took her place.

It was clear that he had been crying all night and was asleep.

Slippery

But I don’t care, I stand up.

This is just something I see over and over again.

Change into a training uniform.

Dance the sword and sweat.

The freshness carried by the wind permeates the whole body.

It was the only pleasant time of the day.

Enjoy Ban Shi-jin’s freedom

Wash the body drenched in sweat.

Moderate chest

Firm stomach

Narrow waist

To the voluptuous buttocks

Wash every nook and cranny without missing anything.

And dry the wet body with internal power.

She then returns to the room and eats Miyum, rather than wanting to eat, just to continue her life.

If you consume Mieum, you will now start reading the book you couldn’t finish reading yesterday.

My day repeats today as well as yesterday.

Stuck in this little room.

Knock Knock Knock

At that time, a crack was added to the routine of daily life.

Surely there is no one to come

Someone started knocking on the door.

“…Who are you?”

The first words you say after waking up

I even felt like I was locked and cracked as I was going to sleep.

“The little boy, Jegalbang, is coming, lady.”

“How did you come to my place so early in the morning?”

If it was Jegalbang, he was a collateral warrior belonging to Gajujeon.

What has he been doing since early in the morning?

“There was a message from the head of the household to come to the office as soon as you wake up, so I risked being rude and came early.”

“To Gajujeon? Did my brother come back?”

The head of the household, Jegalchan, was currently staying in Namchang as the commander-in-chief of the Uicheon League.

By the way, do you want me to come to Gajujeon?

“You returned at dawn.”

‘…It’s a big deal, to come back to Sega without a message.’

Originally, he was the older brother who would have left a message for Sega first.

But you came to me unexpectedly like this

I wondered.

“Okay, let’s go as soon as we’re ready.”

He wasn’t in the mood to go anywhere

He was the head of a family.

As a family member, how can you refuse?

“Then I’ll go away.”

Soon, the sound of footsteps receding behind the door began to be heard.

“Whoa.”

As soon as he left, a sigh came out of Jegal Jugyeong’s mouth.

It was an older brother who hadn’t interacted with her for quite some time after leaving the door.

She felt uncomfortable at the thought of meeting Lee Jee.

‘…But I can’t help it.’

More than staying in Sega

I couldn’t even think of rebellion.

Because that was the family’s duty

‘…I have to do makeup first.’

Soon after, Jegal Ju-gyeong began to apply basic makeup while looking into Tokyo.

To show a minimum of courtesy to an older brother whom I haven’t seen in a while

****************

This is profit

With the sound of hinges engaging, the door slowly began to open.

And through the gap in the open door, a middle-aged man exuding a solemn atmosphere entered his field of vision.

It was Jegal Chan, her only blood relative and head of the Jegal family.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Kyung-a”

Jegalchan spoke in a calm tone.

It’s already been a year since she left the door.

In other words, it was as if she said that it had been a year since they had met each other like this.

“…See the family head.”

“…You seem to be getting more haggard the more I haven’t seen you. Are you eating properly?”

Jegal Chan opened her mouth with a worried expression on his face.

The new she didn’t see, she looked even more haggard.

She was not as pale as she was,

Her limbs, which were already thin, became thinner and thinner.

Her ant-like waist became thinner and thinner, and it seemed like it could be caught in her handful.

She could guess how she had been.

That’s why it was unfortunate and sad.

To think that she, who was called the jewel of the Jegal family, was suffering so much.

“I’m eating properly every day… You don’t have to worry.”

“You’re lying… How… Is that what a well-fed person looks like?”

“…Really…So you don’t have to worry about it.”
Zhuge Jing calmly followed her words.

“Anyway, why did you call me?”

And she immediately changed the subject.

Like she don’t wanna hear no more nagging

“…I have an urgent message to tell you…Kyung-ah.”

Even though she knew the truth, she had no choice but to let go.

It was because she didn’t want to make her even more uncomfortable as she was having a hard time even facing herself.

“…Please speak.”

“Tomorrow there will be a guest at Zhuge’s house.”

“A guest?

“Yes, a very precious guest.”

“I don’t know what that has to do with me… Do you want me to serve customers in person?”

“How could that be? Rather the opposite.”

Zhuge Chan shook his head from side to side and opened her mouth.

“Don’t do anything, just stay still without a door. Like a person who doesn’t exist.”

“…That noble guest seems to have great hostility towards me.

“Wrong. Kyungah.”

Jegalchan denied it at once.

“It is rather your side that has hostility.”

Sigh

In an instant, Zhuge Zhuang began to gnaw his teeth.

Because I could guess.

Who is such a precious guest that even Jegal Ga-joo personally stepped forward to welcome it?

What is the identity of the customer with great hostility?

“…Jang Seon-woo.”

The man who killed her husband Lee Jae-won

Seonwoo Jang

Probably nothing else.

“Don’t ever do anything that disturbs you. Just stay still as if you’re dead. Do you understand?”

“I’m not stupid, I don’t do anything to become a family member.”

Jegal Jugyeong replied coldly.

“Besides, I think my older brother was mistaken, but I have no hostility in the first place. He just did his job.”

Jaewon Lee did something to die.

He just made a fair judgment as a knight.

What is hostility

“It was right, it was right. But in the back of your heart, don’t you still hate and resent him?”

Jegal Chan opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“…It’s not like that.”

“You want to believe no.”

“…”

Zhuge Jugyeong could not refute.

It was because he couldn’t answer the words that stabbed him in the middle.

“Don’t go out anywhere while he stays, just stay still, not intrusive, like a non-existent person, my first and last request to you. Kyungah.”

“…There’s no need to bother with such a request, since I had no intention of meeting her or going out in the first place.”

“I know that you leave the household once every 10 days.

“…It was your older brother who put Jia under surveillance.”

Zhuge Zhuqing slightly frowned at him.

Lately, Jegal Jia has been assigned as a supervisor.

The reason seemed to be here.

“Before meeting the king, I needed to know about your actions.”

“Was I too unreliable? Enough to keep me under surveillance?”

Jegal Ju-gyeong glared at him with cold eyes.

It was because of the growing resentment towards Jegalchan, who had arbitrarily attached surveillance.

“I just tried to be perfect as the family head.”

Jegal Chan stared straight into his eyes and calmly opened his mouth.

As if he had no regrets whatsoever.

How many times did we stare at each other like that?

“…I want to go back.”

Whiik

Soon, Jegal Jugyeong turned around.

I didn’t want to face Jegalchan anymore.

“I won’t ask where you did what.”

Jegalchan looked at her back and continued.

“But if that action harms the Zhuge family, I will rule it out no matter what. Keep in mind, Zhuge Jugyeong.”

Jerk jerk jerk

Jegal Jugyeong left Gajujeon without even answering.

Like you’ll never come back

Jegal Chan just stared at her sister’s back.

With very complicated eyes.

*********

One day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days

Jegal Ju-kyung was just lying dead on her bed, not even moving.

In order not to encounter

In order not to offend

Like a dead person

Like a person without

She was just passing the time holding her breath.

‘…It’s been a long time.’

It’s already the sixth day

She still had no communication that she had left.

‘I don’t know why she stays there because she has something to see.’

Annoyance rose.

It’s not like I don’t have a home

What to see

Does that mean she stays with Zhuge?

‘…I have to go to the shrine.’

She was so closely guarded that she couldn’t find any way out.

It was because the top elite were guarding the front of their residence in three shifts.

‘…And the risk is great…’

Jang Seon-woo was staying at the Jegal family.

His brother, Jegalchan, was watching him.

Worst case

The identity of the shrine may be revealed.

‘…If I get caught…Wouldn’t there be an uproar?’

Lee Jae-won was the worst public figure to receive criticism from the world.

A dirty hypocrite who spares no finger pointing not only at the Murim people but also at the grassroots.

If it is discovered that he is honoring him, the honor of Jegal Sega will fall endlessly.

Worst case

He did not know that he would incur the king’s wrath and drastically reduce the position of the Zhuge family.

‘…Should I…Give up?’

Shaking my head

But soon, Zhuge Jugyeong shook his head from side to side.

Once in ten days

Heading to her shrine was a very precious time for her.

So that the dead husband who did a lot of evil will not suffer for a long time

I hope to live a better life in the next life

Praying and praying, she honored her husband.

And at that moment, her mind was stable enough to have the illusion of being with her husband.

It is the only time when you feel mental peace.

How can I give up that time

Slippery

It was a risky job that could drastically reduce Sega’s position, but she managed to stand up in the end.

‘Yes, secretly… If you come here secretly… It’ll be fine… As long as you don’t get caught…’

While repeating over and over again that it’s okay if you don’t get caught.

Slippery

Soon after, her body began to melt into the surroundings.

And she slowly started to head outside.

To honor her deceased husband
.

Tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat

Zhuge Jugyeong, who got out of the family, showed extreme skill in shinsing.

To reach the shrine as soon as possible

To meet my husband as soon as possible

How long has it been like that

A small shrine soon caught my eye.

‘Arrived!’

Soon, her eyes began to glow.

The only shelter for her devastated woman

The only place where you can lean on your heart

There she was, she had finally arrived.

I couldn’t help but feel full of vitality.

This is profit

She smiled and slowly opened the door.

At that moment, Zhuge Jugyeong’s expression began to harden infinitely.

It was because her completely unexpected persona greeted her.

“You were the owner of this shrine.”

“…Brother.”

Zhuge Liang opened her mouth with her trembling voice.

The man’s true identity was Jegalchan.

The head of the Zhuge family and the only blood relative.

“I think I need a little explanation, Kyung-ah.”

Jegal Chan glared at her with her cold eyes and opened her mouth.

“What the hell have you done?”

Whiik

Jegal Chan lifted up the mortuary tablet on which Lee Jae-won’s name was written and opened her mouth.

“…”

She couldn’t answer

I honored Moorim’s achievements

I prayed for the killer

That’s why she couldn’t answer easily.

“If you don’t answer right away, I will break it.”

Kwaaaaak

Jegal Chan began to hold her ancestral tablet tightly.

With the momentum to break it down

“Prayer! I was praying!…For my husband…For my dead husband…I was praying!”

She hurriedly raised her voice.

It was because I was worried that the ancestral tablet might be destroyed if I left it like this.

“Did you mean that you even built a shrine to pray for a terrible and heinous murderer?”

“…Yes…I…I did it…So…Punish me…Please don’t touch the mortuary tablet…I’ll beg you…Please…Please…”

Zhuge Jugyeong began to beg earnestly.

An ancestral tablet was an object that was believed to contain a soul.

Breaking it would be no different than killing her husband.

How can I just watch

“You’re out of your mind.”

Jegal Chan frowned at her and opened her mouth.

“Do you know what you have just done? Not only did you drop the prestige of the Jegal family to the bottom, but you also drove nails into the bereaved families of those who were killed by Lee Jae-won. But please don’t break the mortuary tablet? Do you!”

“I know!…That it was wrong…I know very well! But…But I couldn’t help it!…To others, he’s a heinous murderer and criminal…A horrible villain… But…To me…My only husband…My only love…He is someone I will never forget…When I think of him who must be suffering in hell…I can’t help it… There wasn’t…”

Zhuge Zhuang wept and spat out his words.

I knew from long ago

That his behavior is abnormal

Something irrational and nonsensical

But still, I couldn’t help it.

Reason trying hard to be cool

Suppressing my rising emotions, I shook him at random

It fluctuates on its own and has grown so big that it can’t be controlled

“Foolish! Truly foolish! Putting my feelings first as a self-made stance!”

Grasp

Jegalchan threw Lee Jaewon’s ancestral tablet to the floor.

Then he slowly began to lift his feet.

As if you want to trample on it right now

“No!”

Seeing that sight, Zhuge Jugyeong quickly ran and wrapped his ancestral tablet.

“Come out.”

“I can’t…You’d better trample me!”

“Hurry!”

“No!”

Zhuge Jugyeong was stubborn.

It is an expression of a firm will that will never get out of hand.

“Come on! Then I will trample you along with the mortuary tablet!”

Zhuge Chan lifted his foot high.

With full strength

‘I’ll be stepped on!’

Tight

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes tightly.

And waited patiently.

Until the intended shock is delivered

But no matter how long I wait

The intended shock was not delivered

It doesn’t feel any pain.

‘…Have you… Stopped kicking?’

Jegal Ju-kyung, who was puzzled, slowly opened his eyes.

I could see it in that moment.

The savage hand holding my brother’s feet

“You…Your Highness!?”

And Jegal Chan, whose feet were unknowingly caught, raised his voice in contemplation.

As if you never expected

“What is this? Jegal’s family.”

A man called the King.

Seonwoo replied in a calm tone.

He stared straight at Jegal-chan with his unique deep and profound eyes.
