EP.24 After the Demon Sword. (1)
Queen of the Magic Sword (1)
The morning of the day that Guyangcheon left for Sacheon by carriage.
Wi Seol-ah was doing housework with other maids.
Now that she had become somewhat accustomed to housework, Wi Seol-ah was starting to enjoy it little by little.
He enjoys doing laundry and cleaning, and he is liked by his maids because he cleans much more thoroughly than expected compared to his carefree personality… .
It seemed like he wasn’t very good at cooking.
‘… Seol, Seol-ah, you shouldn’t hold the knife like that…!’
-bang!
‘Stop it quickly! If you keep doing that, Seol-ah’s hand will get cut off!!’
‘Oh my goodness, the chopping board is cut!!’
‘Fire!! We have to put out the fire first!! Gaedong oppa, bring me some water. Water!!’
‘No way, no way, the potatoes are turning black!!!’
The incident where Wi Seol-ah, who was popular among the servants, was seen holding her hand up near the wall was famous among the servants.
Because of that, a ban was even put in place among the servants, telling them never to let Wi Seol-ah cook for them.
Because of that, Wi Seol-ah remained gloomy for a while, but she regained her energy when she heard that she would be taught properly when she grew up a bit.
“Seol-ah, can you bring me some laundry?”
“yes!”
Today was the same as any other day. The work day started with cleaning and laundry.
As I was walking back carrying the laundry I had gathered, I saw a carriage outside my residence. It was the carriage I had ridden in before when I went to the Nine Dragons Club.
‘what…?’
Even the fact that there was another carriage behind them made it seem like they were going far away.
Wi Seol-ah walked back quickly and asked another attendant.
“Sister Hongwa, what is that carriage?”
“Huh? Oh, I think the master is going to Sacheon this time.”
“Huh…? Where did you go, Master?”
“Yeah, so that’s why this elder prepared a carriage in a hurry?”
“Huh? Seol-ah, have you heard anything? Why didn’t anyone tell the personal attendant…?”
“Since Seol-ah is still young and hasn’t learned much about the job, it’s going to be almost a month, so maybe that’s why?”
“Ah… that could be the case.”
“Ha, ha, a month…?”
A month…? A month?
Wi Seol-ah’s eyes shake violently.
The young master has been gone for a month…?
No, isn’t that possible…?
Wi Seol-ah couldn’t figure out why her chest felt so stuffy.
“Hey, when are you going?”
“Perhaps, since you said you would leave as soon as the Master coughed, we will leave soon, right?”
If the servant’s words were true, it would be soon time for Guyangcheon to rise.
Wi Seol-ah stops with a blank expression, as if she has received a huge shock.
In the meantime, the attendant patted her head, saying that she looked cute.
“Seol-ah, after you finish doing the laundry, should we go to the warehouse with you and move some groceries together?”
“yes…….”
“Do you want to take some medicine?”
“yes…!”
After washing the laundry, you and your servants began to move the groceries to the cart.
“Is this enough? It’s going to be a long journey.”
“Wouldn’t you stop by every now and then to buy something?”
“Ugh… I don’t know if a month with you will be okay.”
“But don’t you feel like you’ve become a little more gentle since Seol-ah came in?”
“… That’s right. Last time I was cleaning, I tapped you on the shoulder and you asked, ‘Are you okay?’”
“I didn’t even graze you, I just hit you, didn’t you get slapped in the face?”
“That’s what I’m saying! I’m so comfortable with my job these days… Is it okay for me to be this comfortable?”
As we worked along with the useless chatter, the carriage was soon filled with groceries.
Wi Seol-ah suddenly asked her attendants.
“Sister, then will you be taking this carriage with you too, Master?”
“Right? Now, if I just pack my clothes….”
“Hongwaya! This elder has arrived!”
“Oh, oh! I’ll go now! Seol-ah, let’s go quickly.”
“yes…!”
As the servant ran away, Wi Seol-ah also tried to run after him.
[wait.]
Wi Seol-ah stopped in her tracks at the sound of the voice.
I looked around desperately to find the owner of the voice, but there was no one around Wi Seol-ah.
“Who, who are you?”
No answer came.
Wi Seol-ah wondered if he had spoken inside the carriage, so she went inside the carriage, groaning, to check the inside.
There was no one inside, which was filled with all sorts of food ingredients.
There was some space for people to hide, but even that was empty.
After confirming that no one was there, Wi Seol-ah tried to get out of the carriage again, but someone pushed her.
“Ugh!”
The pushed-out Wisul-ah went into the empty space. ‘Ouch.’ She groaned as if she had fallen to her knees.
I quickly turned around, but all I could see was carrots. There was still no one there.
Wi Seol-ah was afraid of the repeated strange situations and wanted to get out of the carriage quickly.
“So when should we leave?”
The voices of Guyangcheon and Elder Lee were heard from outside.
Suddenly, it occurred to Wi Seol-ah that if she stayed still here, she might be able to go all the way to Sacheon.
I was confident in hide and seek.
Even my grandfather, who was good at finding things, would keep wandering around, unable to find anything when he played hide-and-seek with me.
‘Will it just stay that way?’
Although she felt bad, Wi Seol-ah quickly shook her head, saying that it didn’t seem right.
I was scared to go without telling my grandfather.
I was scared for even a month without my grandfather.
If you wait quietly, the master will return. Wi Seol-ah made up her mind and tried to get up.
[wait.]
“…!”
Wi Seol-ah sat down in surprise at the sound of the voice.
It was that voice from earlier.
‘Who, who are you?’
As expected, there was no answer.
The voice seemed familiar, but Wi Seol-ah couldn’t remember it.
“Okay! The old man took care of everything. Let’s go!”
“What kind of departure is this…!”
Heeeeeeling!
“Hic!”
While hesitating, a horse’s neighing was heard and the carriage started off.
Wi Seol-ah was at a loss and panicked, but the carriage was already moving away from Sega.
‘Uh… What should I do? What should I do!?’
Wi Seol-ah feels someone stroking her fidgety head.
It’s a soft touch.
Even though she was screaming, Wi Seol-ah strangely fell into a deep sleep at the touch of her hand.
As my eyelids gradually closed, I heard a faint voice.
[I’m sorry, please take care of me.]
When Wi Seol-ah opened her eyes again, it was midnight and there were carrots all over her eyes.
“That’s why, that’s why.”
After hearing all the excuses, Goo Yang-cheon asked Wi Seol-ah.
“I got possessed by a ghost and got into a carriage. It’s not my fault, so please forgive me.”
“yes that’s right!”
“What are those carrots?”
“… I’m hungry… All I can see is carrots.”
ha.
When Gu Yangcheon’s deep sigh was heard, Wi Seol-ah quietly averted her gaze.
After hearing everything, Goo Yang-cheon quietly clenched his fists.
“… That’s it.”
“yes…?”
“How can that make sense!”
Guyangcheon’s fist struck the crown of Weiseol-ah’s head.
“Ugh!!”
******************
What should I do about this situation?
A bundle of troublemakers comes into view, wrapped around Jeongsu-ri and sitting down, struggling.
What should I do with this guy?
How on earth did they manage to hide?
Even if we set off in a hurry, is this possible?
I don’t really know how great the power of Cheon-oe-cheon is, but
They know that if they put their mind to it, it wouldn’t be a problem to erase one Sega.
I don’t know what the Sword Lord’s true feelings are, but if we were to guess the Sword Lord’s senses, wouldn’t we already be able to see the entire Sega?
So, do you also know that Wi Seol-ah rode in a carriage?
“It hurts….”
“I hit you because it hurt, you punk.”
There were times when I came without saying anything, but the situation was so urgent.
Did you think I would just throw you in a carriage and start driving off?
“Why on earth did you follow me?”
“I didn’t mean to follow you… You’re really a ghost…”
As I was trying to feed the peanuts to the ghost story again, Wisul-ah covered her head.
“sorry…!!”
At that sight, I put my hand down again. What should I do? Should I send it back?
There was no turning back for the carriage. Time was already running out, and there was no way I could turn back for this.
“Should I separate one of the guards and attach him…?”
It would take half a day to get there by carriage, so if you walked, it would take a few days at the latest.
However, since there are only a few days left, it is not something that can be sent off without any thought.
He said that he was worried about sending Wi Seol-ah away like that.
My expression must have been mysterious because Wiseol-ah quickly grabbed the hem of my clothes.
“Can’t we go together? I can do this job well! I’ll work hard. Please take me with you. Master…”
“It’s a long journey, I’m sure Noya will be worried.”
“Grandpa said that if I listen to you and work hard, I can do whatever I want!”
No, first of all, the important thing is that you’re not listening to me. You’re…
“It’s a hassle for the other servants to take care of you too… .”
As he spoke and looked at the others, his eyes looked strange. What should I say?
‘Cheer up, Seol-ah, sleep a little more!’
‘Thank goodness… I feel a little better if Seol-ah is here!’
The look in his eyes was something like this. Am I the villain now? Is that it?
He wiped his face away from the complicated situation.
Why is it always so complicated?
“Why on earth did you follow me?”
Wi Seol-ah hesitates and answers my question.
“I feel anxious because you are not here. My chest feels so stuffy… Can you please take me with you?”
Tears well up in Wi Seol-ah’s eyes.
My chest tingled at Wi Seol-ah’s words.
But aside from that, I was curious as to why Wi Seol-ah was doing this to me.
If I had to find a connection in this life, it would be the snack I got from a street vendor.
I also tried not to pay too much attention to Wi Seol-ah.
But why? It was something I couldn’t understand at all. It definitely wasn’t love.
Even if that were the case, I thought it would be just a child’s tantrum and would go away after a while.
No, I had to think about it.
Wi Seol-ah holds onto me with a pitiful face like a lost cat.
I can see her eyes getting more and more tearful.
But this wasn’t it. I had to send it back.
I took this guy with me knowing what would happen in Sacheon. It was something I was anxious about even after thinking about it a hundred times.
I guess I’ll have to find a way to bring in people from Sega, either by attaching two escorts.
You shouldn’t always be swayed by Weiseol-ah. That’s not why you returned.
He spoke with a firm voice, his mind firmly set.
“… If you cause an accident, I know you’ll be sent back immediately.”
… .idiot.
