Chapter 284 – 285. It’s All Because of You!
Seonwoo fell into serious trouble.
He fully understood how desperate she was.
It would definitely be a situation driven to the edge of a precipice.
If you can’t save the ice crystal this time, you will have to spend the rest of your life in exile instead of exile.
In severe cases, he could have been assassinated by political opponents.
He was pitiful, pitiful, and compassionate.
However, her request was too big to be granted with compassion.
You want me to protect you from the North Sea Ice Palace’s palace owner, the Northern Palace?
Was burdened
That’s huge too.
It was Seon-woo who confirmed with his own eyes how far North Gung-yeon had reached.
Isn’t she a woman who has reached the realm of transcendence, the realm of transcendence, which is the process of going beyond the Hwagyeong, which is called the absolute realm of land, and toward the immortal world, which can be said to be the limit of human beings?
She could still see her fierce battle with the Swordsman.
But how can she protect her trumpet flower from her?
It was nonsense.
It would be better to ask the swordsman.
“It’s impossible.”
Seonwoo refused with a firm tone.
I want to help, but I couldn’t do it in the first place.
“…Is it something that can’t be done?”
Jacaranda asked Seonwoo with a visibly disappointed face.
“She’s not good enough in the first place. Her level is not enough to stop her.”
Sunwoo shook his head and said.
I didn’t have the hobby of making promises I couldn’t keep.
He also hated giving hope to the impossible.
I was simply telling the truth as it was.
“No, it’s quite possible.”
At Sunwoo’s words, Neung Sohwa continued with a determined expression.
“It’s impossible, so the North Sea Ice Palace owner is on the level of a provincial police officer. There’s no way I can be an opponent as I’m only a police officer in Hwagyeong.”
Seonwoo continued talking as if it were nonsense.
Hwagyeong and Hyungyeong literally had a huge difference.
Bridging the gap wasn’t easy.
“No, it’s possible if it’s a martial art you’re learning.”
In spite of Seonwoo’s objection, Sohwa Jaung opened her mouth with a determined expression.
“It’s impossible even with the martial arts I’ve learned? How do you cut the snow wind with a sword?”
Seonwoo answered the question as if he was frustrated.
It was the Bukgungyeon where the word natural disaster fits.
There was no way he could deal with such a northern gung-yeon because he had not reached the level of the sword.
“Aren’t you learning the art of changing the flow?”
“…”
Creepy
In an instant, Sunwoo felt a chill run down his spine.
It was because the unexpected words came out of her mouth.
How could she know about the existence of Konkondaenai?
“Wh…What do you mean?”
First of all, Seon-woo pretended not to know her, taking off her pretense.
“You don’t have to pretend. She’s seen it all. She’s the way you turn back an attack in an instant.”
“…”
Seonwoo shut his mouth tightly.
It was because I didn’t know how to react to such a sudden situation.
It was only once that she showed her age in front of her.
It was when he turned back the attack of Jang Gwang, the deputy owner of Bukpungdae.
But how can you see through the essence of martial arts just by seeing it once?
I couldn’t believe it.
What a gifted woman she is
“Bonnyeo is not an idiot. Bonnyeo also saw and understood at a glance that the North Sea Ice Palace Master had reached the state of anti-seon. And I concluded that with your martial arts, you could stop it enough. That’s why I’m asking you. Would you have asked for protection by giving up?”
Neung So-hwa looked at Seon-woo and continued talking nonstop.
“It’s true that I’ve learned her special martial arts. But there’s no guarantee that she can stop her from reaching her predicament. How can I be sure?”
“Hasn’t she already been verified?”
“Verification?”
“Didn’t the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace ask you? How did she block the snow wind?” .”
“…”
Hearing her words, Seonwoo bit her mouth tightly.
After the confrontation, Binggungju would ask Seonwu how to get back the snow wind several times.
It seemed that she had overheard a question she asked Sunwoo.
‘Damn it’
Seonwoo sighed inwardly.
This was because she felt that it was ambiguous to refuse something.
However, it took me a while to accept it willingly.
The North Sea Ice Palace owner’s strength may not be all that she saw during the day.
It was clear that she was hiding even more tremendous power.
It was too risky for her to accept her job against her, trusting only her age versus her age.
Moreover, isn’t Bukgungyeon the benefactor of the federation?
How can she confront her with her
Seonwoo kept his mouth shut with a stern expression on his face.
It was in deep sorrow.
“Sunwoo.”
As Seonwu was silently lost in thought, Nung Sohwa looked at Seonwu and opened his mouth.
“Please, please. There is no one I can ask for this kind of thing besides you right now. I know it well. But I have no one to rely on except you. If things go well, I will reward you with this grace even by pulling out the pillars of the imperial palace, so please listen to my request. If there is something you want, I can give you anything. I will give it to you. I promise in the name of the monarch.”
Neung So-hwa looked at Seon-woo with an impossibly serious look and continued.
She showed Seonwoo the sincerity she had in her heart.
She knew too.
She said that she was asking a shameless favor, relying on a few days of acquaintance.
And the fact that Sunwoo didn’t even have to listen to her request.
But she didn’t have the right way for her now.
In a situation where even martial arts were sealed due to the ban, there is no way to preserve her life intact.
She only had Sunwoo.
The one who will protect himself.
“Of course, if you refuse, I won’t force you either. Everything will be the result of your choice after much thought. I’ll just follow your will.”
“…”
Hearing her words, Seonwoo was deeply troubled.
Looking at the circumstances, it was a situation that had to be rejected unconditionally.
The northern court was strong, and she had no reason to risk it herself.
Her head began to ring countless times.
She said no, please.
Strangely, however, a feeling of stuffiness gathered in the corner of his chest, as if something had been put on it.
“What are you going to do if you refuse?”
“Then I can’t help it. I have no choice but to convince her alone.”
At Seonwoo’s question, Neung Sohwa continued with a resigned expression.
“I might die.”
“But you can’t come all the way here and be stunned.”
“Why don’t you come back with the troops?”
“Did you tell me to go to war with the North Sea Ice Palace?”
She glared at Seonwoo with sharp eyes and continued her words.
“That’s… To guarantee the minimum safety.”
Seeing her sharp gaze, Seonwoo hesitated and continued.
“If you come with troops and ask for ice crystals, that’s threats and coercion. How could you do that for my own safety?”
Neung So-hwa looked at Seon-woo and said contemptuously.
“In the first place, there is no guarantee that the flames can be controlled with certainty by ingesting ice crystals. It’s just an attempt. I can’t mobilize troops for such an uncertain task. Besides, if I had to go to war with them, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”
“What?”
“The guilt of sacrificing hundreds and thousands of lives for my comfort.”
Jacaranda looked at her Sunwoo with her straight eyes and continued her words.
Bruise
And Seonwu stared blankly at the trumpeter.
Because she was quite shocked.
She was royalty
It is a royal horse that is said to have inherited the blood of the Son of Heaven.
No one can deny the fact that she has the noblest bloodline in her midfield.
How could she say something so selfless?
How can you have such altruism in this place where the status system is firmly established?
To be honest, she could have given orders to Seonwoo.
That’s because her status is unparalleled.
But she asked for a favor, not her order, and she had an attitude of accepting even a refusal.
Seonwoo felt his heart tremble.
She was not only noble in her status.
Even her heart was noble.
Sunwoo thought.
She said she didn’t want to let her die the way she did.
“Stop.”
Sunwoo looked at her trumpet flower and opened her mouth.
“What do you mean?”
“To be alone with the Ice Palace Master.”
“What happened?”
“I will die.”
Sunwoo continued with a serious expression.
It was literally.
I experienced it for a while, but the personality of the ice palace was not easy.
He had a strong ego and had a strong personality.
Besides, I don’t know if it’s because I came up to the hyeongyeong, but I was dry and indifferent.
When she asked for the ice crystal, the treasure of the North Sea Ice Palace, she did not know what would happen to her.
“I have no way.”
Neung So-hwa looked at Seon-woo and continued her words.
“I just wish that the Ice Palace Master would be more merciful.”
“Ha…But…”
“It’s over now.”
Jacaranda opened her mouth as she stared at her Sunwoo with her straight eyes.
“Your concern for me has been fully conveyed. So stop now. It’s not that I don’t understand your concern. I’ve already made a decision and will humbly accept the consequences of that decision.”
“…”
“Even if my life is in danger.”
She spoke in a calm tone.
And Sunwoo, who heard her words, could understand.
That she is sincere.
“Ha”
Sunwoo let out a big sigh.
Because no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t think that she could break her stubbornness.
He didn’t want to let her die either.
In the end, there was only one thing she could do.
“Large fire.”
Sunwoo frowned and sang the trumpet.
“Tell me.”
“You said you’d listen to anything. Is that true?”
Instantly, upon hearing Seonwu’s words, Neungsohwa’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern, like a surprised rabbit.
She thought she would be rejected, but it was because the response came unexpectedly.
“Why no answer?”
“…Of course. I will grant you anything you want, even if I have to pull out the roots of the pillars of the imperial palace. I swear by the name of the monarch.”
After thinking for a moment, she slowly opened her mouth.
“Okay, then I’ll go with you when we go to the negotiations.”
After hearing her words, Seonwoo continued speaking in a nonchalant tone.
“…That…Is it really okay?”
After hearing Seonwoo’s definite answer, Neung Sohwa asked him worriedly.
She was afraid that she might have made a reluctant choice because of her.
“What?”
“Following me and having a private meeting with the Ice King.”
“I’ve already decided in my heart.”
“There’s no need to overdo it. Aren’t you feeling the pressure?”
Neung So-hwa opened her mouth with a worried look on Seon-woo.
When Seon-woo accepted her offer, she was overcome with guilt.
It was because she felt like she was forcibly holding someone she didn’t like.
“Don’t get me wrong. She just thought it would be better to leave the debt to you, the granddaughter of the current emperor and the daughter of King Yan.”
“You’re lying. How can you say that getting rid of debt is more important than life?”
“I don’t want to die.”
“Then what are you going to do when you die?”
She held on to her negative stance.
“Didn’t you come to ask?”
Seeing her negative attitude, Seonwoo asked her in embarrassment.
Surely she didn’t come to ask for help?
Do you mean sticking to such a negative stance in a situation where hope is not enough?
“I’ve changed my mind. I’ll go alone. Wipe your feet and go to sleep.”
He changed his demeanor in an instant.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Sunwoo asked her as if she was absurd.
Hadn’t she appealed that she was the only one to ask for a favor?
But how did he suddenly change his mind?
“I don’t want to embarrass you. Come to think of it, aren’t you the body that owes her grace to the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace? In the unlikely event that you end up confronting her, you will become a child of hers without even knowing her grace!”
“No, where did you learn such bad words as a son of a bitch!”
“I learned from Seolhyang!”
“It’s a bad word. Don’t use it.”
“Anyway, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go to her alone.”
“No, if that’s the case, go alone from the start! He’s going to come at night and make people’s minds go wild, and then go somewhere!”
Sunwoo frowned at her and raised her voice.
Why do you say you refuse again?
It’s not even a tree frog.
“I’m sorry about that. But after talking to you, I changed my mind. I don’t want to ask you for help by forcing you to refuse to the point of trembling!”
“No, when did I tremble!”
Sunwoo raised his voice as if it was unfair.
“You are all revealed in your expression! Your expression has never straightened since I started talking about it! But how can I ask you for a favor!”
“Are you okay? Just as she said, you can learn her special qigong and fight against her.”
“I don’t like it though.”
“Don’t put your pride on things that cost your life.”
Sunwoo growled at her and glared at her.
It was because she was getting annoyed with her constant insistence.
What kind of pride do you build when you are like a lantern in front of the wind?
“It’s not because of pride! It’s all because of you!”
At Sunwoo’s words, Neung Sohwa shouted as if it was unfair.
