Surviving the Romance Fantasy

In order to survive the Haga of Sealing, he had to become a person that could not be abandoned. He thought he would be able to do that when he became the owner of the Palace of the White Tiger.

However, how cunning creatures are humans.

Because he knows better than anyone what kind of people the people of Seal Haga are, the situation was not difficult for Deokbi Ha.

“It seems that Yowolhyang didn’t work. That Seol Tae-pyeong is a man… Is he better at improvisation than I thought?”

“Hawol, are you confessing your sins yourself?”

Joong-bi laughed softly while covering his lower body with a fan.

“I thought very well. It is truly grievous to have committed such an immoral act, but am I not the daughter of the Seal Haga, who shares the same lineage as me? Let’s go to the emperor together and ask for mercy. Let’s bow our heads and ask the emperor for forgiveness.”

“…what it really means to survive, sometimes the world is really cruel.”

Deokbi Ha didn’t pay much attention to what Jungbi said.

If you look up at the eaves, the moon hangs over the ends.

The night sky where the heat of the Celestial Dragon Festival rises. The night when everyone was laughing and chatting, as always, was someone else’s story.

“Isn’t this something that the junguibi concocted?”

“…”

It is the princess who is always exposed to scheming and trickery. There was no way that such a princess would wear a sachet-like gift without hesitation.

The reason Confederate In put the sachet on the tip of her sword without any doubt was that the person who gave the sachet as a gift was the owner of the Palace of the White Tiger. That’s why it’s so rare to have a certain identity.

However, Deokbi Ha never presented anything like a sachet to Gwibi In.

In the middle, someone called herself a lady-in-waiting of the Palace of the White Tiger and inserted a present. Of course, there’s no way anyone can buy something like that.

She had to be able to get her hands on the White Tiger Palace’s maid’s uniform, and she had to be a person who was knowledgeable about the duties of a concubine, and she had to be able to directly supervise all the intermediate processes.

During the Cheonryong Festival, Ha Chae-rim, who had been in the Palace of the Baekho all along, was the right choice.

The problem is, there is no evidence of that. Probably, the heavy rain prepared several grounds in its own way.

“Wow. No matter how precarious the situation is, how can you say such things to me without knowing grace? How much help have you helped me while living as a concubine? Don’t you remember?”

“Does the head of the family know about this?”

Ha Deok-bi did not listen to a single word from Jung-bi. Everything she said was deceit.

“You worked so hard to get me into the Palace of the White Tiger, but I don’t think the patriarch would have decided to use me as a throwaway card.”

“Wall.”

“…Are you afraid?”

Ha Deok-bi did not tremble at the sense of betrayal or shed tears in fear.

However, he only laughed softly in a low voice.

“I wonder if the future will come when I will one day become a much nobler person than the heavyweight, and get rid of the heavyweight?”

If you want to survive in the Sealing House, you must trample on all those who come after you while climbing endlessly.

Become the noblest, and you must make sure no one uses you as a discard.

Life is a struggle.

It is a creature called a human to struggle throughout life.

From noble mtl dot com

It must reign unrivaledly at the top, and exist as a person that no one dares to reach out to.

Ha Chae-rim, the middle queen, was the one who reigned at the top of the sealing family’s female wives.

Isn’t it the one who rises to the position of Emperor Unseong’s side secretary and makes even the high officials of the main palace bow their heads?

However, time passes. It was called Hwamu eleven red.

The beauty that seemed to last forever is starting to rust little by little. Emperor Woonseong, who was a reliable supporter, also begins to grow old little by little.

However, she didn’t even give birth to a proper boy, so she didn’t even have a son she could entrust.

Since she couldn’t have a son, her authority as a side concubine began to diminish little by little. Even if he embraces a son belatedly, he cannot replace Crown Prince Hyunwon, who is now favored by Emperor Unseong.

Then, the princess of the same sealing family was heard as the crown prince. Hawol is a girl.

At a young age, with a beautiful appearance and outstanding ability, he became the owner of the Palace of the White Tiger and gradually builds up his authority.

my time is over

Time passes swiftly as always, announcing that the next generation is coming.

There is no point in resisting and struggling. Little by little, heavy rain will become a ‘word that can be thrown away’.

“Mr. The situation has come to this, but I am not angry with the Queen Mother at all…”

The heavy rain was hiding his expression behind a fan, but he could feel a look of bewilderment.

Jungjungbi knew that Ha Deokbi would cry, blow, squeak, or gnash his teeth in anger. That’s why, in order to forcefully drag her to the emperor, she even dragged her to the ear with the help of the Sangseo-gwan.

However, after biting the lady-in-waiting with her own hand, she looked at the heavy rain with pitying eyes.

The emotion in those eyes was… sympathy.

If she had been caught in someone else’s clutches and was in this situation, she would have been angry and rudely angry, but when she saw the heavy rain, she looked at her with sympathetic eyes.

Deokbi Had knew. The situation of the middle wife and the self is not very different.

He says it’s unfair, and he doesn’t even have the heart to defend himself that he is a clean person. It is because the fact that he is an ugly person who uses all sorts of schemes is the truth in name and reality.

If Yowolhyang had come into Deokbi’s hands in time, he would have tried to trick him into using the Yowolhyang someday, if not now.

However, the man named Seol Tae-pyeong might have coped with it well because he was more adroit than I thought. Then… the ending would have been similar.

– ‘This petty man… he harbored disloyalty deep in his heart that he should never have as a subject…!!’

It is only then that he realizes that all of the confessions Seol Tae-pyeong made out of nowhere were lies.

He approached as close as possible to take advantage of Hadukbi’s weakness. He realized that Ha Deok-bi would use tricks in some way.

How did you figure it out? Even Gwibi In, the owner of Taegeum Hairpin, did not notice Deokbi Hawol’s true color. The proof is that she innocently put on a sachet and went up to the podium.

However, that man has some great insight.

‘Even though it has no meaning now.’

Deokbi Ha slowly closed and opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

“If I continue to go and tell the Emperor, I will most likely be sentenced to death.”

“…Didn’t I tell you not to worry too much about me? You said you would beg for mercy together.”

It was a very believable word.

Ha-wol, who took a sneak peek at the 10 demons, instantly drew out the energy in his body.

“…?!”

Ha Chae-rim was startled.

No one in the sealing family knew that Deokbi Ha had a talent for piloting.

This is because Ha Deok-bi did not believe even the people of Seal-ha.

Of course, that skill can never be said to be outstanding. Even apprentice masters would be more proficient at handling ki than this.

However, very basic skills were enough.

– Woe!

A small flame that rose in an instant flies toward the back of the courtyard.

There… There were piles of explosives prepared for the festival.

Ha Chae-rim now realizes why Deok-bi brought the ladies-in-waiting back into the Palace of the Baekho. After all, they were my people, so there was no need to hurt them.

She had planned to send all the maids out through the back door in advance. If you pass through Baekho Palace, you can quickly exit through the open middle gate in the back.

Before Ha Chae-rim could say anything, the world turned white.

– Quaang! Quaang!

– Whiing! Hey hey hey!

Before long, a huge flame erupted and covered the courtyard of the Palace of the White Tiger.

*

– Kwaaang!

– Patter! Patter!

– Roaring!

The sound of burning trees filled the area.

It wouldn’t be strange if all of them were blown away by a sudden explosion.

However, the nobles of the main palace quickly protected Ha Chae-rim from the explosion, and minimized the shock of the explosion by setting up a camp.

However, the rising smoke obscures the view, and the heat impedes movement.

As the smoke clears a little, the whole view of the Palace of the White Tiger begins to come into view.

“This, oh… are you… crazy… Wol-ah…!”

– Whoa!

The flames that started in the courtyard were moving to the Palace of the Baekho.

Eventually, the fire continues to spread and burns up to the main building.

The dark sky begins to turn red. even though the sun didn’t rise.

“Flee! Find the suspect!”

“Search inside the Palace of the White Tiger! Perhaps all the ladies-in-waiting fled through the back door!”

“Find Duckby Howell!”

“Keuhuk, heouk… Cool! Cool!”

Deokbi Howell, covered in ashes, woke up in the fire.

The impact of the explosion left it as it fell, breaking the paper door and seeming to be stuck in the main house.

“Huh..! Huh…”

He brushed off the fire at the end of his robe. That alone made her whole body scream.

“Hey, heck, heck…!”

It was too much of a shock for her body to withstand.

Blood flowed from one ear hole, as if it had temporarily moved away from the sound of the explosion.

The pure white court uniform was covered with soot, giving it a terrible look.

I try to get myself up with my palace robe hanging down, but every few steps I take, excruciating pain rises all over my body. Just like that, my toe slipped and touched the floor again.

However, if you stay here, you will burn to death.

Ha-wol ran towards the other side of the yard. It was clear that if I went out to the yard, I would be caught by demons.

Anyway, demons don’t know the internal structure of Baekho Palace. Run inside, climb over the window on the other side, and run out the back door.

Then, all you have to do is evade the red palace warrior guarding the concubine, circumvent the soldiers patrolling the outer palace, and run away from the soldiers guarding the Taeseong Gate to the imperial palace.

After that, somehow arrange a wagon in the ecliptic and run out. If you sell the jewelry you wear on your body, you will be able to last for a few months.

– Kwadangtang!

Running along the floor, he trips and falls to the floor.

“Billion, heogh…! It can’t be… is it…”

It was difficult to even hold on to.

Fleeing to the outside of the imperial capital in this state… There was no way that was possible.

However, Deokbi Ha raised his head and stood up.

If there is even the slightest possibility of survival, they grit their teeth and struggle to survive somehow.

Life is a struggle. In order to survive, we must constantly struggle.

“Do you think I… I will… die here…?!”

Shedding blood, jumping over the burning floor.

If I go out of the concubine and blend in with the buildings of the main palace, somehow it might work.

There is no one to ask for help.

The ladies-in-waiting would die if they helped Deokbi Ha. Now that the situation is like this, the demons will try to capture themselves even if they cut down those who stand in their way.

‘It’s not without hope…!’

I don’t know if I manage to get out of the concubine somehow. If heaven helps, you can live somehow.

First of all, you have to think about getting rid of the ears. Fortunately, Ha-wol knew much better about the internal structure of the Palace of the White Tiger.

‘Just run on the floor, open the back window to the kitchen, and go out to the backyard…!’

– Kwagang! Blasphemy!

A burning wooden pole hit Deokby’s body.

Deokbi Ha somehow bent over and caught it with his back. However, the palace robe caught fire, so he had to roll on the floor and shake off his clothes.

It was so miserable, but no one was watching anyway.

He succeeded in putting out the fire in burning pain, but his back was full of burns. There were already blisters in some places. Even just walking gave me an excruciating pain.

“Ugh, whoop…”

Deokbi Ha clenched his lower lip tightly.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry. Even if I cry, I lose my energy…!!”

He staggered open the kitchen door and entered. However, the inside was completely engulfed in fire, so it was impossible to get near it.

Deokbi Ha clenched his teeth and ran up the wooden stairs next to him. If you jump off the shed on the second floor, you might be able to get out into the backyard.

So, breathing in the heat, I ran up to the warehouse.

When I opened the door, I saw the inside of a warehouse full of fire. Still, it was much less heated than the kitchen.

I had to make a quick decision before the fire grew stronger.

Deokbi Ha made his way through the fire and barely reached the window on the warehouse side. Ignoring the burns all over my body, I climbed onto the windowsill.

It was high enough to fall at this level, but with the woman’s body, there was no guarantee of safety. If even one part is broken, you can no longer escape. It should never have happened.

Hadukbi closed his eyes and fell to the floor.

– Kwaak

– Quaggagak! Kwa Dang Tang!

“Kyaaak, uhhh!”

Rolling on the dirt floor, I barely managed to clear my mind. Luckily, he didn’t seem to be hurt enough to move.

However, that doesn’t mean the pain goes away. After struggling through the pain all over her body, she sprinted across the backyard again.

Still, he managed to keep his body fit enough to run and jump out into the backyard.

Deokbi Ha clenched his teeth as he ran across the backyard on a moonlit night.

A few more times, I roll on the dirt floor and fall.

Still, I had to keep going as long as my body allowed me to.

‘At this level… at this level, I’m on the side of escaping very quickly! We have to go to the main palace first! Heaven… Heaven is helping me…!’

I just monologued across the backyard, but…

Unfortunately… the sky wasn’t on Ha Deok-bi’s side.

‘…!’

Deokbi Ha, who was somehow making her way through the backyard as if half-creeping, sees a man who has just opened the back door and entered Baekho Palace.

Those eyes are wide open. It was the same with Deokbi Ha.

And the moment he figured out who the man was… Ha Deok-bi closed his eyes and monologued.

‘Geary… Even the sky has abandoned me…’

A night with a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Under the sky dyed red by the burning lights of the Palace of the White Tiger, the one who stood and approached from beyond the backyard.

The man’s name was Seol Tae-pyeong.

It was Ha Deokbi’s throwaway card that Ha Deokbi planned to throw away after using it to dethrone Ingwibi.

At this point, Seol Tae-pyeong himself would have been well aware of that fact. He must have clearly understood that Deokbi Ha used him to kill Ingwibi, and as a result, he almost died as well.

There is nothing to say even if he couldn’t overcome his anger here and now and cut Ha Deok-bi with a single knife. Heaven had sent an envoy to kill her one last time.

Deokbi Ha did something like that. Of course, I couldn’t put the plan into action directly, but it was a great product that would have happened someday.

It’s over.

I risked everything and ran away for the last time, but it was just in case.

Even if she went out of the concubine in the first place, it was difficult to find a way to escape to the emperor. I just tried desperately by leaning on a thread of hope.

Deokbi Ha bowed his head and accepted his fate.

Now… I didn’t even have the energy left to run away anymore.

“Ha Duckbi.”

Seol Tae-pyeong was standing in the moonlight in front of the collapsed Hadukbi.

The moonlight was so dazzling that Deokbi Ha couldn’t see his expression properly.

Did you say that life is a series of struggles? It was time for the long struggle to come to an end.

Deokbi Ha gently closed his eyes and accepted death.

However, the answer that came back completely broke Ha Deok-bi’s expectations.

“Let’s go out of the concubine for now.”

“……what…?”

“I will support you, so put your arm out this way.”

Blazing White Tiger’s Palace (2)

– Quaggagak!

– Roaring!

The outside beams of the back kitchen collapsed on fire.

As he rolled on the backyard floor once and shook the whole area, Deokbi Ha’s head grimaced.

Her physical condition, which had already reached its limit, screamed out at the slightest shock.

Still, it was clear that if I sat here quietly, I would be killed by dogs.

“Well, why are you in the concubine now?”

“The Queen Consort gave me the Suzakupae. Although it is temporary.”

“Suzakupae to you…?”

Jujakpae was an identity card given by Ingwibi to a trusted aide.

Although she is a noblewoman who has many ladies-in-waiting under her command, only one of her aides is the head maid.

Basically, no one can receive the crown prince’s wooden plaque.

This is because if the owner of the wooden plaque commits an immoral act, the authority of the crown prince who trusted him will be damaged. In short, it meant that the man was completely trusted by Ingwibi.

Seol Tae-pyeong quickly helped Ha Deok-bi and raised him up.

The body screamed again, but Deokbi Ha endured the pain by chewing his lips.

“Once you leave the concubine, there are quite a few places to hide. If things don’t go well, you can hide in the inner room near Baekseon Palace.”

“Well, why are you helping me?”

In the heat of the blazing White Tiger Palace, Deokbi Ha asked, barely holding on to his spirit.

“Didn’t you… notice everything I was about to do?”

“…Are you talking about sachets?”

“…”

Seol Tae-pyeong spoke while leading Ha Deok-bi’s body.

“There were too many parts that I didn’t like because it was Deokbi Ha’s own initiative.”

“How do you know that?”

At least in this concubine, no one noticed about Deokbi Ha’s true color.
