Chapter 25 – Should Mother… Take It Off? (1)

Dan Hye-won was feeling very good.

Since almost all of the elders of her family had passed away 20 years ago and her family had fallen into a deep pit of misfortune, this was the first time that the world looked bright to her.

Just spending one night with someone who praised her endlessly was enough to fill her heart with happiness.

“You’re so pretty, so pretty! I’m going to leave a hickey on your forehead because you’re so pretty… hehehe…”

When Kang Yoon kissed her forehead, she was initially taken aback, but the sensation of her heart swelling up inside her grew stronger the more she thought about it.

What a sweet sensation. She was sure that Kang Yoon had continued to do this kind of thing because he knew about this sensation from the village where he lived.

Now she finally understood her husband. Her husband must have held her like this because he wanted to feel this kind of happiness.

Now that she no longer expected her husband to fulfill his role as a husband, the situation where she came to understand her husband was so ridiculous.

To avoid being caught in her happiness, her subordinates secretly stole glances at her face and whispered to each other.

“Did you hear anything?”

“I’ve been listening to you while I’m out and about with you. What are you hoping for?”

The Eunbi Division of the Sachendangga (Secret Squad).

As their name suggests, they were a group directly under the governor who concealed information, but they were also afraid of their superiors.

If you dug deep enough, they were just living off their monthly salary like anyone else.

If they were spies who went out to gather high-level information, it would be different, but their lives were far from the terrifying information organization that just collected and analyzed information.

So they were desperately trying to guess the mood of the governor, who was now wearing a very bright face.

Why would someone with a bright face have good news even when it’s dark or bad news?

Is there something unimaginably good happening?
Is there something unimaginably bad happening?

Unbeknownst to the subordinates who were keeping an eye out for any signs of fear, Dan Hye-won was just lost in her happiness.

After finishing the morning greetings, I went out with Jegal Mi-ryeong and Sijeon.

Gochen was busy with state affairs and was reading documents, so he was out of the running.

He seemed to be so busy with state affairs that he had to come out here and work.

On the other hand, we didn’t have any specific work to do, so Jegal Mi-ryeong was half-dragging me around.

“Look at this! Don’t you think it would be nice to make clothes out of this fabric and wear them?”

“Oh my, it’s perfect for our younger brother.”

“Oops! He’s not my younger brother, he’s my son.”

I was dragged around like this whenever she showed interest in clothes or food.

And the most pitiful person who accompanied me was the warrior of the Tangga who rode in the escort car.

“Y-Your Highness, please give it to me. I’ll carry it.”

“If you accept everything, will you be able to see what’s ahead?”

“…Thank you.”

We ate the food on the spot, but the warrior was carrying all the other items, including the fabric.

It would have been better to bring one more person.

But since Sachen was a region that was only accessible to outsiders, Jegal Mi-ryeong’s overspending was understandable. There were many things that could not be easily obtained in other regions.

All the bankruptcies accumulated by the family were from there.

Since most of the major companies were somehow related to the family, Sachen was truly the kingdom of the family.

The clothes worn by the family’s warriors had the character for Tang written on them, so it seemed like the merchants were more eager to buy them.

“Why are you carrying this? Leave it to the escort.”

“But, Mother…”

Was she always this unyielding to others? Did she look surprised by my expression? Jegal Mi-ryeong narrowed one eye.

Once the baggage was handed over to the warrior, his view was completely blocked.

“Hmm, can you continue your escort duties like this?”

“Uh, it seems difficult.”

Oh, could this be it?

“Tsk tsk… This is why escorts are like this…”

“I-I’m sorry…”

“That’s it. You go back first with that. We’ll take a look around a bit more and then leave.”

“What? B-But…”

“Tell them I sent you back. If there’s any punishment, I’ll take care of it, so just go back.”

Although his face was hidden by the baggage, he seemed to be struggling quite a bit.

But Jegal Mi-ryeong pushed the warrior’s back and sent him off.

“Phew, I understand that you have to take care of your customers, but you should have some awareness. Right?”

“Mother…”

“We came out alone with our son, and we can’t walk around with that kind of thing.”

I sympathized with the warrior who had suffered enough and made a vow.

“Is there anywhere else you want to go? Just say it.”

Jegal Mi-ryeong smiled brightly. Why does every little thing she does make me feel like I’m with a girlfriend… It’s exciting…

But the reason I came out in the first place was to wander around the back alleys, specifically the area around Haomun Gate.

I hadn’t even read the letter my teacher wrote before I lost it, and there was no way to contact him in Haomun. I was hoping that if I wandered around the back alleys enough, my teacher would find me.

Since I wasn’t going to leave the palace anyway, I thought it would be okay to wander around alone…

‘How long is he going to keep following me?’

Jegal Mi-ryeong followed me stubbornly, even though I said I wanted to wander around and calm down.

But since I’m a good son in the story, I couldn’t just shake her off and go alone. I was in a dilemma.

“These days, it’s a good weather to see the lake.”

An old man selling sweets on the other side spoke up, and Jegal Mi-ryeong looked at me as if asking if it was okay.

Let’s go, let’s… sigh…

The lake, called Samcha Lake, was enormous.

When I heard the sailor say that it wasn’t that big compared to places like Dongjeong Lake, I realized that everything here seemed big.

“Your father used to sail here often when he was young. He thought I liked it, so he would always suggest going whenever he had the chance.”

Even though the escort was left behind, Jegal Mi-ryeong didn’t seem to care about the sailor and chatted away.

“You didn’t like it?”

“No, I did. But it was better to be with your father, not that I particularly enjoyed sailing.”

“He still doesn’t know that I have no interest in sailing,” Jegal Mi-ryeong laughed.

“Our son will meet a woman he likes someday and get married, right?”

“…Do you think so?”

“This mother doesn’t expect much. Just choose what makes you happiest, Hyun.”

Jegal Mi-ryeong reached out and held my hand tightly.

“You don’t have to become a famous swordsman like Gangho, or inherit the throne and make the country prosper. Your father isn’t interested in those things either, to be honest.”

“…”

“Just think about your happiness, only your happiness. Do you understand what I’m saying, son?”

Jegal Mi-ryeong’s delicate hand trembled. Her sad eyes seemed to be pleading for my understanding.

Perhaps all day today, Jegal Mi-ryeong was just waiting for a chance to say this to me.

She acted cheerful in front of me, but I could tell that the death of Gohyeon deeply hurt her.

I could feel the mother’s heart that didn’t want to lose her son again.

I smiled mischievously and said, “I’ll live my whole life just sailing with you, mother, until I grow old and die.”

“Pfft…”

Jegal Mi-ryeong couldn’t hold back her laughter at my intentionally playful response.

“I told you to laugh. Laugh, mother.”

As if waiting for those words, Jegal Mi-ryeong burst into a clear laughter.

She patted my shoulder after barely suppressing her laughter as a martial artist.

“Our son has grown up. Mother knows your heart.”

“Everyone will do this much.”

As Jegal Mi-ryeong kept saying, “Still, our son is the best,”

Pitter-patter.

Rain began to fall from the sky.

“Oh my, guests! I’ll bring out the boat right now!”

The sailor opened his mouth in surprise and hurriedly got up.

Since there was no separate roof on the boat, we had to endure the rain.

Actually, I thought I could block the rain if I raised my qi, but it was impossible with Gohyeon’s martial arts level that I heard from Gocheon.

While I was getting soaked in the rain, Jegal Mi-ryeong couldn’t avoid getting wet either.

Oh, a mother’s love…

Despite the rain, the sailor skillfully steered the boat to the shore and bowed his head apologetically.

Jegal Mi-ryeong shook her hand, saying it was okay, and then found a place with a suitable roof.

The sailor seemed to have some thoughts too, as he soon discovered a small pavilion nearby.

After arriving there, we could finally catch our breath.

“I didn’t know it was going to rain suddenly. It was clearly a clear day…”

“Are you okay, mother?”

“I’m okay. They say I’m still a top-notch martial artist.”

Seeing Jegal Mi-ryeong raise her arm as if to show off, I suddenly realized.

Oh, shit…

The wet clothes clinging to her body revealed Jegal Mi-ryeong’s figure in a provocative way.

Compared to Danhye-won or Eonso-yeong, her voluptuousness was less pronounced, but her body drew a harmonious and beautiful line.

However, it was definitely not plump, but a sexy figure.

I tried to inject some qi into my penis to make it erect, but it was already too late.

The penis that had been thoroughly ejaculated with Danhye-won last night shamelessly began to show off its power with the help of the escort’s strength.

The erect penis seemed to be talking to me.

“Why are you being like this when you’re not even Gohyeon? Why should I hide in front of a fucking female?”

I completely agreed, but not now, not really… Please calm down…

The more I concentrated, the more I felt the sensation of the wet cloth wrapped around my penis.

And the next moment.

“Hyun-ah…”

Jegal Mi-ryeong discovered the painfully erect penis and covered her body with a surprised face, but it was already too late.

The penis wriggled even more in response to the covered figure.

Jegal Mi-ryeong half-turned her body and only moved her eyes, but my penis showed no signs of calming down.

Instead, I became more aroused as I realized the fact that the line of her buttocks, which was clearly visible due to being soaked, was provocative.

Eventually, Jegal Mi-ryeong closed her mouth tightly while looking at me and then opened it again.

“Hyun-ah…”

The thought of being called a worse creature than an animal is already breaking my heart…

“Mother, um… is mother disappointed? Like a commanding officer?”

“H-hmm, if it’s too hard, mother can… take it out for you?”

Oh my.
