Chapter 42 – The Dawning (2)
Of course, the reason Yoochun frowned was not because Jiyeon Lee was causing trouble. Rather, she was showing great ability in the administration of ‘wings’.
She was to the point where her guild wouldn’t work without her now. So the reason he wrote her impression was not her…
“Hmm… That true and pretty child will need a man to take care of him soon…”
Contrary to those serious worried eyes, it was because of that damn old man with a trembling mouth and the stupid daughter standing in an observation balloon somewhere.
‘Damn it, why are you doing this to me?’
If you’re worried, you can call yourself and ask, but always call yourself and ask if Ji-yeon is doing well? Because of the two of them, who contact each other almost every day to tell them not to be too hard on themselves, Yoochun has been feeling a slight pain in her backbone lately.
“…I’m outside right now, so go out and ask yourself…”
When Yuchun said he was going to Seoul to meet Manseong Lee, Jiyeon Lee said she would accompany him, and she followed him.
“Uh huh, would that child say something difficult with his own mouth? Better ask the person closest to you. Isn’t it?”
“…Again, I have Killian…”
Yoochun, who had become accustomed to the world of Last Legacy, did not insist on being monogamous.
In a world that allows polygamy, what does it matter if you’re looking for just one person or dating more than one person, as long as there is an agreement?
However, it was a little burdensome for her family, and for someone like her father or grandfather to secretly recommend it.
“Hmm, to say that, I know that Ji-yeon and I are closer than I thought, right?”
“That…”
After Jiyeon Lee woke up a month ago, Yoochun made the same excuses she made to Killian. She said that she was sorry that she couldn’t control her strength.
Even so, the hard expression seemed to go back to the past. At that, Yoochun and Lee Dogyeong lamented whether she had closed her heart again or was late.
Inevitably, Yoochun is about to leave for Incheon with only Hayeon Yang and the villains.
‘I want to go too.’
Lee Ji-yeon followed me and said so. With a face that doesn’t know what he’s thinking.
In response, Yuchun said that if she had a hard time, she didn’t have to force herself to come.
‘Don’t you need someone who can carry out all administrative duties with a good relationship with the association?’
At that, Yuchun just shut her mouth and brought her back. Lee Do-kyung rather liked it.
Thinking about it now, I was very fortunate. It was because without her, her ‘wings’ would not have taken the form of a plausible organization in a month as it is now.
Yoochun, who has never done organization management, must have taken half a year more as she bumped into and out of it.
If you look at it this far, doesn’t she bring someone who is very good at work? Rather, it’s a good thing, so what’s the complaint? You might think so. The problem was something else.
‘I’ve never done anything like that…’
The problem is that after finishing her work, she follows her around under the pretext of helping her Yuchun.
In fact, there was nothing important other than acquiring information from the Fallen archives.
‘Mr. Jiyeon…? I don’t think there’s anything to help me here… Why don’t you go in and rest?’
Yuchun is still in charge of the heavy work, but when she can rest, she tells her to go in and rest.
‘No, I do not want.’
‘Ah yes…’
I hate it. But that didn’t mean she didn’t have her cause. The soon-to-be head of a guild needs a secretary to manage his schedule so he can’t be alone…
Well… I don’t know later, but no matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t need it right now.
From that day on, Ji-yeon Lee just… Finished her work and was quietly around Yoochun, just like everyday life.
‘That doesn’t mean I’m just getting closer.’
But what’s also funny is that she doesn’t come within Yuchun’s reach.
When Yoochun approaches, he moves away, but when he gets out of her range, he follows him again. With that cold expression.
To summarize it.
– I’m not interested in you. So don’t come too close. Oh, but don’t go too far.
It felt like this
This incomprehensible arrogance. Aren’t you a cat?
A lot of different stories were created because of that, but anyway, the important thing now is to ignore that old man and get out of here.
“Next time, meet and ask about it in person, and I will go back for now.”
“Hmm~ Is it going over like that?”
“Or would you like to have a sparring match with me today?”
“Heh heh… The old man must have interfered again… Goodbye…”
Realizing his sincerity that he did not want to talk about Lee Ji-yeon any more, Man-seong Lee broke out in a sweat.
“I will contact you in a week. Then”
Yoochun quickly left the place and got on the secretly installed elevator through her back door and exited through the building registered under Lee Man-seong’s personal name near the association.
“Did you finish the story?”
“Yeah…They accepted it much easier than I thought.”
Outside that empty building, a white shirt, black skirt, and black stockings. In addition, a ponytail with straight hair resembling the night sky reaching to the waist was tied together. Lee Ji-yeon, who had the appearance of a perfect office lady, stood calmly.
‘How are you…’
Looking at her appearance, Lee Man-seong’s words came to mind. Looking at her frankly expressionless face, I don’t know if she’s happy with her life now.
“Hey Ji-yeon?”
“Yes?”
“Ji-yeon…Are you satisfied with your life in Incheon?”
She honestly thought that if she had told Yuchun to report her workload, she would have beaten her earlier.
If it wasn’t for Lee Ji-yeon’s outstanding work efficiency, she would have missed 24 hours.
But she is sorry nonetheless, but her current wing cannot be without her. Fortunately for her, she seems to have a crush on herself, so how does she play that part well…
‘I’m disgusted too…’
Yoochun laughed bitterly at her moment, her own self trying to take advantage of Lee Ji-yeon’s heart naturally.
‘I need to pay more attention.’
“…If there is anything you want, please tell me. Because her wings can’t be without Mr. Jiyeon.”
“…”
“If you don’t have it right now, tell me when you think of it.”
“…Yes, I will.”
“Thank you as always.”
Yuchun put on a delicate expression, and she didn’t see Lee Ji-yeon answering, so she headed for the car parked outside.
“Then let’s go to Incheon. After we go and reorganize… We’ll go to Dawning tomorrow.”
“Yeah, but…How is that Kaian who is said to be behind the dawn…”
In response to Lee Ji-yeon’s question, Yoochun recalled the information he had heard from Tibo China about her real name, ‘Kaian Beren Duke’.
The Berenduke Family This family was founded by Martuga Berenduke, who was called the first hero in the past.
It was a huge family that occupied 10 seats in the 13th Committee, which produced at least one high ranker among its descendants, as befits a descendant of one who was called the world’s strongest in the distant past.
‘I was at a loss for words when I heard that Berenduk was destroyed…’
The problem was that Yoochun almost fainted when he heard that the family had gone extinct. Because they were still part of the 13th Committee when Yuchun was playing Last Legacy.
‘The one who destroyed them was Arbella…’
The 1st Knight Commander of the Arbela Van Axir Current Committee and the owner of the Black Mirror who destroyed Berenduke and took 10 seats. And his former self…
‘I still don’t know…’
Yoochun’s head went awry at the unexpected development even after he got out of the main story. Why did the main character exist, how did it become so strong, and how did it create such a huge force? Is that really who he is?
‘I’ll think about that later.’
It was very important and work, but it was a problem that could not be solved. Can you easily meet the owner of 10 seats on the committee?
Right now, I’m not sure what to do with that guy named Kaian. And…
“How can it be… There’s only one…”
The method was already decided in Yuchun’s head.
Upon learning what he had done in Korea, Yoochun’s eyes lit up with cold blood.
“If he doesn’t get down, I’ll have to crush his knees.”
If Tibochina asked for her life, and because of the information she had to listen to, she would kneel down and become a slave.
If the information Tibochina gave me was certain, they were a useful force. However, if she held her head stiff, she intended to crush her personally.
And Yoochun was hoping for the latter.
*
In a room where even the darkness lingers under the blue moonlight. One man was listening to the report of a subordinate standing next to him, pouring strong alcohol without any snacks.
“So, I heard you got a call from Tibochina…?”
“Yes…”
“Kuh-kuh…Yes… The bitch you thought was dead showed up after a month and said something?”
Gulp… Gulp…
The man of the dawn, Kaian Berenduk, listened to the reports of his subordinates and poured the bottle into his neck without even pouring the strong liquor in the subspace.
‘My lord…’
Within a month, the appearance of a ruler worthy of being the only heir to Berenduke in the past had gone and the figure was completely disheveled. Having suffered two major failures in recent years, Kaian lost his cool and was shaking.
‘This is the first time I’ve experienced such a failure…’
One of the family’s greatest treasures, the Holy Water, has been lost. Many of the hidden troops were also lost. Even DuBlanc there. It was almost impossible to cover all of them on Earth.
In addition, the confrontation with the Golden Bird, which is getting more and more intense. Catastrophic failures like never before.
As a result, his lord was increasingly unable to maintain his composure as all events would be delayed for decades.
“Didn’t I ask what that bitch said?! Yurhim!!”
Clink-!
It’s like the fact that he’s showing such intense excitement that he’s never seen since his family was wiped out by Arbella, or he’s shouting his own name that he’s never called except when he was young.
Yurhim lowered his head. Considering what I’m going to say now, he couldn’t muster up the courage to face Kai An.
“…Do you want to hear what Tibochina said? Or not…”
“Tell me everything!”
“Yes…Then…”
Yurhim relayed the conversation he had with her to Kaian without adding or subtracting.
“Keukkeuk…So you’re asking me to surrender to my new master?”
To be precise, it meant that he could live by doing so, but to Kaian, who had lost his temper due to anger and humiliation, it was just an unpleasant thing for his dog to fawn over other owners and bite him.
“…Sorry…”
“You trash bitch!!!”
Kaian, who had been smashing everything around him because he couldn’t hold back his anger, glared at Yurhim with bloodshot eyes.
“Whoa, so when is the bitch owner coming?”
“I’ll be back by midnight tomorrow…”
“He’s coming…Yes…He said he signed a slave contract, so you gave your all. Betrayer year…”
Hard…
The fact that he blew everything up to where he was currently staying, unrefined mana flowed from his body.
“Prepare as a highst member centering on you, Yurhim. They say you’re so great, but I have to greet you properly.”
“…Are you okay…?”
“What else do you mean?”
“The gatekeepers also voluntarily entered as his slaves. The reason is obviously…”
“Joy! Anyway, the bastards guarding Berenduke’s gate. It must have been just a waste of life!”
Kaian was even more resentful of them. Because the gatekeepers were the ones who ate the rust while the family was alive.
He gnashed his teeth at the thought that they had betrayed him with Tibocina.
Seeing his master gnashing his teeth in anger, Yurhim lowered his head even more. It was because it seemed that if his eyes met, he would have doubts in his heart.
‘To think their lives were too precious to be enslaved…Those gatekeepers…?’
Contrary to the words of the lord who is now excited, those guarding the front gate of Berenduk were more loyal than anyone else, even though they were weaker than other knights.
‘In addition, Tibocina was also strange.’
Yurhim recalled her conversation with her earlier through her communication amulet.
“A month later, a call like that… You dare… Betray your lord…?”
“Betrayal… Betrayal… No… Rather, it’s different…”
You could have thought that the voice that was completely subdued was guilt, but it wasn’t. It was like… Resignation.
“What I am doing now is rather a dedication…”
“Speak properly…”
“I can’t tell you everything…Because there’s a ban…”
Haha…
Tibo Chyna gave up everything and gave a smile that seemed to make her feel better.
“I still love him…Kaian-sama, and that’s why I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart.”
“…”
“Surrender. My master…A monster…Is a calamity…When he approaches, I have no choice but to…Bend down and wait for him to pass…”
“Crazy bitch…”
“Don’t look at me like that…Even you…If you were there at the time, you wouldn’t have had to make this choice.”
Looking at Yurhim’s contempt and disgust in her eyes, beyond her amulet of communication, she felt no anger whatsoever.
‘Goyucheon…’
Tibo China, who was more devoted to her lord than anyone else, and the one who subdued her loyal gatekeepers. A being who knew nothing but its name approached Yurhim ominously.
