Cheeks covered in freckles.
He’s shorter than me and about two years old.
He looked like just an ordinary servant, but I could tell.
‘He is the dark king.’
That man’s true identity is the Dark King.
I felt vague before hearing the voice, but I became certain after hearing the transmission.
Plus.
‘It’s full of a sense of incongruity.’
Knowing that, I could feel a strange sense of alienation.
The vibration I felt in my arm was the same.
‘… What the hell is this?’
Is there a heart in the scaly part? It’s pounding like crazy.
Why is it like this?
I tried to ignore the vibrations and looked at the Dark King.
The dark king seems embarrassed by my gaze and breaks out in a cold sweat.
No, I was just pretending.
‘Why are these people so good at acting?’
Both the Emperor and the Dark King had acting skills that were completely incomprehensible.
As I looked at the dark king, my gaze naturally turned to the defeated king.
As if wondering what on earth is going on.
I wondered if even the Emperor didn’t know about this.
‘This old man… .’
I could tell right away when I saw the expression on Pajeon’s face as he smirked at me.
This man also clearly knows this.
‘So the Dark King and the Demon King had a connection?’
I don’t know what kind of love it was, but it didn’t seem like it was okay.
Moreover, I don’t even know why the Dark King is there.
I ask the Emperor, trying hard to avoid the gaze of the Dark King.
-What is it…?
-What are you talking about?
-I’m asking why he’s there.
-Don’t worry about it. I’m just one of the attendants.
-What is that…? Do you have a headache?
I know he’s the queen, but he tells me to just ignore him and think of him as a servant.
What the hell is this?

When I asked him in a bewildered manner, Paejon simply answered with an indifferent expression.
-Well, I have a favor to ask, so that’s why.
-Please…?
Pajeon’s words make my head spin seriously.
A favor to the Dark King?
-Who the hell are you trying to kill?
This was the only thought that came to mind right away.
To be honest, I thought this was all I could ask of the Dark King.
Upon hearing what I said, Paejon frowned slightly and looked at me.
-How can I think… . Hmm… .
He spits out the words as if to ask what kind of nonsense he is talking about, but then tilts his head for a moment.
Why are you doing that?
-…Is it roughly similar?
-…yes?
-Well, I guess it’s similar. Just think of it like that.
What the hell does this mean?
So, are you saying that the Dark King is going to kill someone?
It feels a bit strange that the demon lord made such a request to the dark king.
I didn’t bother to ask any further questions.
Everyone has their own circumstances. For me, all I had to do was learn martial arts from Paejon.
The only thing Paejon wanted was for me to further develop my martial arts skills, so that was the extent of our relationship.
Should we say that it is ambiguous to call each other master and disciple?
At least that’s how I see my relationship with him.
A priestly relationship formed out of necessity.
It’s a really ambiguous relationship that I’ve never heard of before.
So, I am a bit concerned about the fact that the Dark King is mixing with these people and going on a journey together to the Four Heavenly Kingdoms.
If it had nothing to do with me, then it was okay.
only.
‘I wonder if it’s related.’
I just have a little thought about it.
‘The King’s hometown was Yeonga.’
It was not something else, but I found out that the Dark King was the descendant of Yeonilcheon, and Sacheon happened to be a place where traces of Yeonga remained.
When the Dark King said he was going there with me, I had to get a strange feeling in many ways.
‘But… is this right?’
As I thought about them one by one, I had to feel that the state of the group leaving for Sacheon was a little strange.

Including the Dokwang, the head of the Tang family, who is known as the ruler of Sacheon, and the Amwang, the king of murder.
Even Paejon, one of the three highest ranking gods among the Central Plains warriors.
When I saw that everyone who was leaving for Sacheon was a bunch of people who were just farting around somewhere.
‘At least we won’t be attacked.’
As for safety, it was at a certain level.
If things were to get worse here, there wouldn’t be much that could happen other than the Dark King trying to kill everyone right away.
Besides that, I wonder what kind of crazy guy would attack the Tang Dynasty’s transport carriage.
Even if that’s the case, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
It seems that the Poison King has brought considerable force to take the criminal to Sacheon.
If he had known that the Demon King and the Dark King were among this group, I wondered if he would have brought such a force.
Maybe not?
Thinking like that, I started to distance myself from the Dark King.
This time someone came towards me and hugged me around the neck.
“…?”
I think it would be more accurate to say that he was tightening rather than embracing.
Just as I was about to force it out, wondering what it was, I had to stop myself when I felt a familiar scent behind me.
“Brother, are you really going?”
This was the scent that came from Gu Hee-bi.
“What are you doing, sis?”
“Are you really going that far away? Aren’t you going home with your sister?”
“I have to go.”
“at home?”
“No, four thousand.”
At my answer, the hand that Gu Hee-bi was holding tightened.
“What the heck… are you doing?”
“Oh, you keep wandering around outside the house. You went through puberty wrong. You used to be cute.”
I was dumbfounded after hearing Gu Hee-bi’s words.
“What’s wrong with coming to the wrong place?”
Because I wasn’t old enough to be going through puberty.
Besides, the old days were weird, it was weird, it was just incomprehensible to say that the old days were cuter.
I roughly released Gu Hee-bi’s arm and looked at her.
He’s frowning strongly as if he doesn’t like something.
Looking at that Gu Hee-bi made me feel sick because it seemed like she was just pretending to be cute.
Has that guy forgotten his age?
Why is a grown woman doing that?

“I really don’t like it….”
“My older sister.”
“huh?”
“Aren’t you getting married? Aren’t you too old?”
“…”
I asked this out of curiosity as I was thinking about Gu Hee-bi’s age.
Gu Hee-bi’s expression changes in an instant after hearing the question.
The sight was just like that of an evil spirit.
Immediately after seeing that expression, I stepped back slightly and said.
“… No, I just… asked because I was curious…”
“Little brother, did you want to burn all your hair? Don’t tell me, I’m good at that.”
“sorry.”
His eyes were unusual, as if he was quite angry.
I was just curious, but he seemed to be in a rather upset mood.
‘Well, age isn’t the issue, who would take that crazy personality?’
The marriage was already full, if not overflowing.
Gu Hee-bi wasn’t really engaged or married… no, she wasn’t able to do so.
When I think back to the fact that I never got married in my past life, I wonder if I plan on growing old as a spinster for the rest of my life.
I guess it doesn’t matter since such people are widely known among the uninhabited.
Judging from the way he reacts like that, it seems like he’s really concerned.
“If you say you’re going home, I’ll let you go.”
“That’s impossible.”
“How firm. It’s annoying.”
Gu Hee-bi clicks her tongue at my answer and turns her head away.
He walks towards the people of Guga, as if he has nothing more to say to me.
“Do as you wish, whether you come or not.”
The voice that suddenly shoots out while walking is still the same.
When will that person’s personality soften?
It’s probably impossible.
‘It’ll be a lot.’
If you were born with this blood, it seemed like it would be impossible.
Right after Gu Hee-bi left.
The person who appeared this time as if he had been waiting was Iljangro.
Why do you keep coming one after another? It would be more convenient if you all came at once.
I had to frown as I looked at the elder who approached me. The elder also frowned when he saw me.

“…Your expression turns sour as soon as you see the old man. What kind of manners is this?”
“What else are you giving me? I won’t accept anything.”
“Huh, do you think I’d give you a gift because you’re so pretty?”
“The problem is that it’s not a gift, it’s giving.”
Whenever I met the elder, I could recall that each and every item I received brought about an incident or accident.
It was obvious that it would happen again this time, so he meant that he would absolutely not accept it this time.
As he was glaring at the elder with such determination, the elder took something out of his bosom.
As soon as he saw that, he shouted at the elder.
“Oh, I won’t accept it! Hey, hey. What are you giving me again?”
“This guy! Do you think he’s doing this because he wants to give it to someone!?”
“Then you don’t have to give it to me!”
The elder and Iljang started to have a fight like a dog.
I said this with the intention of not accepting whatever that item was.
Why does this person keep leaving his thoughts to me?
This time, when I was trying to run away without receiving it, the elder talked behind my back.
“This is not mine, it is your father who has given it to you.”
“…yes?”
“It’s a shame that the rich couple are so useless. They make old people run errands for them.”
Although the elder was grumbling, my mind was focused on the object in his hand.
‘Father?’
Why is it that my father, of all people, is giving me something?
As I thought about those words, I looked towards my father. My eyes met with his, who happened to be looking this way.
I made eye contact with my father for a moment, and he turned his gaze away from me first.
Looking at this, it seemed like what Iljangro said was right.
‘What is this?’
After checking up to that point, I received the item. It wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t given to me by the elder.
… It looks like an ordinary metal plate.
“What is this?”
“I don’t know. The owner just asked me to tell him.”
“Then you can just tell them directly. What…?”
“That’s what I’m saying. If you’re really curious, go ask.”
“No, that’s a bit… .”
“Haha… Those rich people are really bickering.”
The elder shook his head as if he was tired.
It’s gotten better than before, but I still feel awkward asking my father things like that.

‘… I guess he gave it to me because it has a use.’
Thinking like that, I roughly put the bag in my bosom.
Of course, I didn’t think they’d give me anything weird.
“What will you do when you return, Elder?”
“What are you going to do? You’ll just spread out and sleep.”
“… Ah, yes.”
Speaking of which, if you were to pick the busiest person in the household, the first would be my father.
The second was Iljangro.
The old man is so active in his old age that it seems that the elder is always going out.
I glanced at the elders and pointed at someone with my fingertips. This was a personal question.
“Then… Are you really going to take him with you?”
The elder’s gaze follows my hand.
In the direction my hand was pointing, there was none other than Gujeol-yeop standing somewhere with a dark expression on his face.
The expression on the elder’s face slightly darkened when he saw that.
The reason I specifically asked about Gujeol-yeop is none other than this.
This is because Gujeol-yeop said he would not be participating in this Sacheon trip.
