Chapter 589 – 590. The Magical Serpent’s Scheme

Jaewon made a puzzled expression.

It’s because the nonsense words came out of Dang Jin-seol’s mouth.

What is the Jeongma War?

Twenty years ago, a huge armed conflict occurred between the political faction and the Demonic Cult.

A huge war that destroyed countless clans and drove countless knights to death.

The battlefield of Sisan Blood Sea, where everything in Murim was stained red with red blood.

It was called the disaster of the Murim people and was imprinted with fear that should never happen again.

That was the True Demon War.

But what the hell does this mean when you want to cause such a great battle again?

“Madam, are you talking sanely?”

Lee Jae-won asked her with a suspicious look on his face.

Because she suspected that she might have lost her mind.

Otherwise, how could you say such crazy things?

“Of course I’m speaking my mind. Lord.”

Hearing this, Dang Jin-seol smiled and continued.

“Didn’t I tell you? The sacrifice of so many innocent people is inevitable.”

“No matter how much!

Lee Jae-won raised his voice in a fit of fuss.

Twenty years ago during the Great War

It was Lee Jae-won, who led the front line and put an end to the Jeongma Daejeon.

He knew better than anyone the dangers of the Great War.

So he had no choice but to protest.

It was such a terrible war that even Lee Jae-won, who considered human life like a fly, felt it was devastating.

“It’s a line… What’s the standard for that line?”

Dang Jin-seol, who heard that, smiled softly as if he was having fun.

“What are you talking about!”

Hearing this, Lee Jae-won frowned.

What kind of floating noise will I spin his words around?

It’s because the annoyance has risen.

“Didn’t the lord say it didn’t matter how many people died?”
Dang Jin-seol looked at Lee Jae-won with a calm expression.

“…Ha…But…”

Lee Jae-won blurted out his words with a puzzled expression on his face.

He certainly said that.

However, he did not have the courage to start a great battle.

If this fact gets out

It was because it was obvious that everything that had been achieved so far would all be blown away in an instant.

It was such a dangerous thing.

To the extent that even himself, who is admired with respect, saves himself.

“The lord.”

When Lee Jae-won did not say anything, Dang Jin-seol slowly opened his mouth.

“What are you so afraid of?”

She asked him curiously.

“…When the Great War of True Demons begins…Many people…Will die…”

Lee Jae-won stuttered and continued.

It was a look full of anxiety.

“That’s not it. The leader.”

Upon hearing that, Dangjin Seol shook his head from side to side and continued.

“What I’m really worried about is not people dying.”

Dang Jin-seol continued to speak with his eyes sparkling like snakes.

Wince

Hearing Dangjin Seol’s words, Lee Jae-won flinched and trembled.

Because her sweet voice made her heart thump.

“That…What does that mean!”

Soon, Lee Jae-won raised his voice as if in a fit of anger.

“What the lord is worried about is the anxiety of losing everything.”

She continued her speech with an alluring smile.

“You’re afraid that everything you’ve been building for 20 years will collapse in an instant.”

Dang Jin-seol looked at Lee Jae-won with confident eyes and continued.

“…That…Isn’t it…I’m…Really…Worry…For Murim’s well-being.”

Lee Jae-won, who was hit hard, stuttered his words and made excuses.

She wasn’t wrong.

It’s scary.

He fears that everything he has built will be lost.

“Master, you can be more honest.”

Dang Jin-seol, who heard that, continued with a soft voice.

“I can understand everything about the leader.”

“My…Everything…?”

“Yes, I can understand you no matter what you do. Even if you are a murderer who has slaughtered countless women for decades…Even if you are a cold-blooded person who put all the blame on his disciples for the sake of honor… Even if you’re the one responsible for destroying . “

Dang Jin-seol looked at Lee Jae-won with a glamorous look and continued.

“…You… You…”

Hearing her words, Lee Jae-won glared at her with a shocked expression on her face.

Because he heard something completely unexpected.

“Are you surprised?”

Dang Jin-seol looked at Lee Jae-won and smiled lightly.

The look of Lee Jae-won, who opened his eyes wide in surprise, seemed very cute.

“…”

Lee Jae-won stared blankly at her with her mouth open.

Because he didn’t know what to say.

She knew everything

He realizes that he is the culprit of all the murders that have occurred in the Cheonmu Maeng for decades.

In order to protect the honor of Cheon Mu-maeng, he found out that he framed his great disciple Jang-sam.

The fact that he destroyed the Goo family in order to take revenge on Ja-Yeop Koo, who rebelled.

Creepy

Soon, Lee Jae-won felt a chill run down his spine.

For she felt an indescribable sense of dread at the thought that everything within her was being peered into.

‘How…How…You know everything?’

It was scary.

She, who knew everything about herself and was just looking at her, is her word.

“You knew… Everything…”

Jaewon Lee looked at her with her trembling eyes and opened her mouth.

“Yeah, unlike the others, I’m not half-penny.”

Dang Jin-seol shook his head in affirmation.

“…Why…Why did you keep your mouth shut all this time?”

Lee Jae-won asked her with an expression that she did not understand.

Because I didn’t understand it at all.

Why did you keep your mouth shut when you knew all the facts?

I couldn’t help but understand.

“Because I had no reason to tell you.”

Dang Jin-seol gave a cool answer to Lee Jae-won’s question.

“What!?”

Lee Jae-won asked with a puzzled look on his face.

What does that mean again

No reason to say

Is that what you would say as a female member of the political faction that revere Hyeop?

“There’s no benefit to me by saying that, is it?”

“…”

Lee Jae-won, who heard her words, shut his mouth.

It was because he was at a loss for words because of his confident attitude.

“If the facts come out, won’t Gyeong-ah become the daughter of a criminal? I will also become the wife of a criminal. Besides, she might have to give up everything she has achieved so far.”

She spoke in a calm tone.

“And even if I told the truth, would the members of the alliance really believe me?

Dang Jin-seol said with a soft smile that it was fun.

It was Cheonmu-maeng whose faith in Lee Jae-won reached its peak.

In such a situation, I couldn’t believe that Lee Jae-won’s ugly crime was revealed.

Honor is bound to have more power than facts.

“Besides, if I had been talking about such a fact, would the lord have stayed still?”

“…”

It’s true.

If she had been talking about the crime she had committed, she would have given her a knife as a wife.

It will become a stain on yourself who should always be perfect.

“Why, under such circumstances, would I talk about such facts?”

She continued with her cold eyes twinkling.

“…,”

Hearing her words, Lee Jae-won looked at her with her fearful gaze.

Because it gave me goosebumps.

To keep their power

To save one’s life

He pretended not to know even though he knew all the circumstances of the series of events.

For decades.

How can you not get goosebumps?

“…Why did you tell me these things now?”

Lee Jae-won asked her with a questioning expression on her face.

Because I was curious about her intentions.

It was a secret that had been kept hidden for decades.

These are serious secrets that you will have to keep hidden for the rest of your life if you intend to keep them a secret.

The moment you reveal that secret, you won’t be able to guarantee your life.

I was curious about my intention to reveal those secrets only now.

“To give you faith.”

Hearing this, Dang Jin-seol spoke in a calm tone.

“Trust?”

Lee Jae-won asked her as if she didn’t know.

“Yeah, the belief that I’m on your side.”

Dang Jin-seol smiled and continued.

“I’m on your side, knowing every facet of you. It’s a huge risk. I want you to know that.”

“I don’t understand.”

Lee Jae-won shook his head from side to side and continued.

“Why? Did you put a line on my side?”

Lee Jae-won asked her with her expression of ‘I don’t know’.

Because I didn’t understand

Right now, he was in a situation that was no different from a kite with a string off.

The reputation was lowered infinitely by spraying against the late index who surrendered.

And he lost his honor as the best man in the world when his arm was cut off by the latter.

Also, as he assaulted Lady Zhu, who was supported by numerous elders and elders, her political position was infinitely reduced.

But how do you put a line on yourself like that?

I couldn’t help but understand.

“Would you believe me if I said I love you?”

Dang Jin-seol asked Lee Jae-won with a playful expression on his face.

“Fuck.”

Lee Jae-won continued her words as he glared at her with his cold eyes.

He hadn’t slept in decades.

She said that she was a fairy tale, and she had never met her eyes properly.

There was nothing left of her like her love for herself.

“Oh… Be merciless.”

Hearing that, Dang Jin-seol smiled and continued.

“Tell me the right reason. Dangjinseol. If not…”

Lee Jae-won glared at her with his ferocious eyes and opened her mouth.

“You will die for silence.”

Lee Jae-won continued as if warning.

Woo woo woo woo

And soon, the momentum that was unmatched in the middle of the day.

“Reason…Reason…”

Dang Jin-seol smiled and continued as if he was having fun.

“The reason is simple. Because that way would be more profitable.”

“Benefit?”

“Yes, it’s a benefit…”

Dangjinseol smiled lightly and continued.

“To be honest, the situation is not good right now. It wouldn’t be strange if you were suddenly impeached. But if you were impeached, it would be very difficult for me.”

Dang Jin-seol spoke in a calm tone.

“Because I’ll have to give up everything I used to enjoy. The honor, power, and wealth of being the wife of the Heavenly Warlord. I can’t see anything like that.”

“So you’re going to help me?”

“Yes, it is what I want you to hold on to power for a long time.”

Dang Jin-seol continued with a charming smile.

“How is it? Are you convinced?”

Dang Jin-seol looked at Lee Jae-won and asked again.

“…It was done.”

Lee Jae-won nodded to her question.

If I had talked about love and all that bullshit again, I would have exploded my head.

However, she gave a good enough reason.

To stand by one’s side for gain

How can you not understand

“Then can you trust me now?”

“…”

Lee Jae-won shook his head without saying anything.

Because she felt that she no longer had to doubt the fact that she was completely on her side.

“It’s fortunate. The Lord of the Lords trusts me.”

Dang Jin-seol continued talking with a happy expression on his face.

“Then shall we return to the main subject now? Are you afraid? You will lose everything in an instant.”

She looked at Lee Jae-won with her magical eyes and continued talking.

“…That’s right.”

In response to her question, Lee Jae-won nodded and nodded.

It’s because I thought that it was meaningless to lie clumsily in a situation where everything was exposed.

“I’m afraid… Of this paradise I created after working so hard for over 20 years! Everyone looks up to me, everyone likes me, and lives only for me! I’m afraid it’s all about to collapse!”

Lee Jae-won threw away all pretense and expressed his sincerity.

It’s not that innocent people die, but that they fear losing paradise.

“I understand. Lord.”

Dang Jin-seol, who heard the words, continued as if he agreed.

“I also don’t want the paradise you created to disappear.”

She continued with her serpentine eyes shining.

“That’s why we have to start a great war of magic. To protect your own paradise.”

She looked at Lee Jae-won with eyes filled with confidence and opened her mouth.

“If you don’t, your paradise will crumble.”
