Surviving the Romance Fantasy

Even so, it wasn’t too strange.

As long as he was once accused of being a criminal, all interpretations had no choice but to go in a direction that was unfavorable to Ha Deok-bi.

“Hawol-ah…! How did I feel sorry for you…! You are trying to make me a criminal…!”

Ha Chae-rim, the heavy rainer, shed tears incessantly.

“I… how much I cherished you as a woman of the same sealing Haga… How could you do this to me… Hawola… Hawola…!”

It’s an outsider.

Deokbi Ha touched the floor with his trembling fingers.

In the midst of everything already over, what do you mean more desperate. Death was already predicted.

I just closed my eyes.

The gathered dignitaries all looked at Ha Deok-bi with contempt.

Even though she couldn’t humbly admit her guilt, she was a wicked woman among evil women who, after recklessly struggling to the end, tried to frame even the only one on her side, the heavyweight. At least it was for them.

Heavy rain Ha Chae-rim wiped the endlessly flowing tears with the sleeve of his clothes, wiping them again and again.

The sight was so pitiful that the high officials clicked their tongues in pity.

However, the moment Ha-wol’s eyes met under the cuffs… Joong-bi smiled sadly with a sad voice.

The implied meaning was obvious. Any further resistance is pointless, so accept your fate.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

The emperor asked Deokbi Ha.

Deokbi Ha… I couldn’t bear to answer more.

I had no choice but to lower my head slowly… slowly, feeling my throat choke.

– Quaang!

– Grasp! Whiik!

It was then.

“Yes, what are you! what! Stop them from entering!”

“Wow, what kind of power is this strong! Aww! Aww!!”

“This bastard is safe here! dry! Dry it right away!”

There was a man who crawled into the tent, pushing back the charging soldiers with force.

Because he had the Suzakupae, he was able to pass through pretty much any place, but even so, he couldn’t easily advance to the Emperor.

Nevertheless… the man shook off the soldiers and went into the tent with gritting teeth.

Gwibi In and Deokbi Ha couldn’t help but be surprised to see them.

A man wearing a black cotton cloth and covered in blood.

The face that could be seen under the half-removed cotton cloth was… seoltaepyeong.

*

“Awful! How safe are you here!”

“Stop!”

The one who called the soldiers to stop was Sajang Mi-rae, who was sitting with his head bowed in front of the emperor.

At that instruction, the soldiers of the enemy palace were frightened and froze.

Mirae jumped out with a sword and looked at the man’s face glimpsed under the cotton cloth.

“You are Seol Tae-pyeong of Baek Seon-gung. What kind of safety is this place, how tyrannical are you! Get out of here before you face your big brother!”

“Mr. I came because I had something to tell you.”

So, when Seol Tae-pyeong said something in a low voice, future eyes widened. They chatted in low voices for a while, then bowed their heads.

The gathered dignitaries had no idea what the hell was going on.

However, the future did not block Seol Tae-pyeong, who bowed his head and advanced.

As always, Emperor Unseong, contemplating everything with cold eyes, is sitting on the throne.

Beneath it are full of high-ranking officials, and a lot of high-ranking military officers.

In fact, at the top of Qingdao Palace, where many people gathered, a man covered in blood entered.

It looks like a corpse is alive and moving.

However, the man didn’t care and came dragging bloodstains and knelt with his head down.

“your majesty. I am truly sorry for going off topic. I am truly ashamed to come before him with a miserable appearance, but please consider the circumstances in which I had to act quickly because the matter was urgent.”

The man’s heavy voice rang through the room.

“It is said that I am Seol Tae-pyeong, a third-rate warrior of Baek Seon-gung. In this controversy surrounding Mr. Ha Deokbi… I came here personally because there is an indispensable piece of evidence.”

Both Jung-bi and Ha Deok-bi had no choice but to keep their eyes wide open.

Seol Tae-pyeong’s intrusion into the scene was something no one could have imagined.

Eventually, Seol Tae-pyeong took out a small object from his chest and set it down in front of him.

“—This is the sachet that was attached to the end of the noble lady’s sword.”

At those words, everyone understood why the future had let Seol Tae-pyeong inside.

The sachet that all the military officers in the enemy palace rushed to find but couldn’t find… came out of Seol Tae-pyeong’s arms.

“That, that’s…!”

The most surprising was the heavy rain Ha Chae-rim.

It was because I couldn’t understand why Seol Tae-pyeong had taken out the sachet.

“…your majesty! Proof that it was a sachet that was present at the scene…!”

“That’s right!’

Before Ha Chae-rim could raise her voice, In Gwi-bi, who was bowing her head beside her, shouted.

“That must be the sachet on the tip of my sword! Although it has been scorched and burnt here and there, the shape has changed, but it is definitely recognizable as the same thing!”

Ha Chae-rim was speechless at those words.

In Gwibi, without examining the sachet properly, exclaimed. It was judged that it was more important to give weight to Seol Tae-pyeong’s words.

If In Gwibi asserts that, no one can deny the fact that it is the scent bag that was present at the scene.

“Is that so?”

Unsung Emperor quietly accepted the words and then continued.

“He said that if you look at the sachet, you can prove your innocence. Is it right?”

“…yes.”

“Look at the embroidery on the sachet, and explain it in a way that Jim can understand.”

Ha Chae-rim’s face began to turn blue.

It was because I never thought that Seol Tae-pyeong would appear here with a scent bag in person.

However, it is the same that Deokbi Ha is also driven into a corner.

The words you just said were just words thrown out to get you out of a crisis. There was no way I could prove my innocence using the embroidery just by actually looking at the sachet.

“your majesty.”

To make matters worse, the bad news happened overlapping.

“This sachet is scorched and damaged here and there, so I can’t properly examine the embroidery.”

In the end, God seemed to be on the side of Ha Chae-rim at the end of the last.

Ha Chae-rim didn’t miss the opportunity and got up from his seat and shouted.

“I knew it would be like this!”

Ha Chae-rim exclaimed in a desperate voice, as if everyone in the world had to listen.

“Even Deokbi Ha must have known that he couldn’t even look at embroidery! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to speak so confidently!”

If you don’t kill, you die.

Attempting to cover a crime is a serious crime, just as serious as the original sin.

If he fails to drag Deokbi Ha to death here, the dew of the executioner will be himself, not anyone else.

Ha Chae-rim shouted more desperately than anyone else.

“What’s the point if you’re not in a state where you can look at embroidery, Your Majesty! You don’t have to be seduced by Ha Deokbi’s words anymore! If you are always being led by claims without evidence, the law cannot stand right!”

The situation has completely taken over.

I don’t know how the samurai named Seol Tae-pyeong got his hands on the sachet, but it doesn’t mean anything if you can’t look at the embroidery–

When the thought reached that point, Ha Chae-rim was speechless.

how?

How does the warrior Seol Tae-pyeong have the sachet that the warriors of the Red Palace could never find even if they searched all over the platform?

“your majesty. Do you know where I found this sachet?”

Taking advantage of Ha Chae-rim’s speechless gap… Seol Tae-pyeong raises his head and speaks.

“I found it in the arms of Unbaek, the leader of the nobles.”

At those words… a cold silence hung over the tent.

Unbaek, leader of nobles.

He was the manpower that Sangseo-gwan Inseon-rok assigned to help the heavy secretary Ha Chae-rim.

Yes, he is the one who moves under the direction of the heavyweight in this case.

He had taken a sachet and hid it on the spot.

So, who ordered it? Daejeon Who would have tried to hide the sachet?

In this case, who was able to properly operate the leader of the nobles, who could not be manipulated carelessly by anyone?

that…

“…”

Soon, the blood began to drain from the heavy rain’s face.

Duckby (3)

‘Wunbaek was attacked by that person…? Ah, was that the reason why I couldn’t reach Unbaek from a while ago…!’

Heavyweight Ha Chae-rim was stunned, but somehow managed to catch his spirit.

It is said that even if you are bitten into a tiger’s den, you will live as long as you wake up. I never expected Seol Tae-pyeong to come and pick up the sachet here, but if I stutter in embarrassment here, nothing will happen.

‘Don’t panic…!’

I quickly calmed down and looked around. Public opinion has not yet completely passed.

The emperor and the high officials were all taken aback by the sudden change in the situation, but the suspicion had not completely crossed over to the queen.

“This is strange! Even if the leader of the nobles had that sachet, how could a mere samurai take the sachet the leader of the nobles was holding! It doesn’t make sense!”

“That’s something… You’ll have to check with the leader of the nobles.”

Saying so, Seol Tae-pyeong was wearing a black cotton cloth worn by nobles. Even if he pretended to, he could tell that he was actually having a fight with the demons.

It’s not that difficult to ask the nobles about the facts, but just looking at Seol Tae-pyeong’s condition, I felt that it was not unusual.

However, how can a mere third-rate warrior fight with demons on equal footing?

I couldn’t believe that fact, and for a moment there was a confused atmosphere in the audience.

“…”

He swallowed dry saliva and kept his expression as natural as possible.

– ‘If you look near the rostrum, you will find an open sachet. Please bring it with you.’

– ‘Is that a must-have item?’

– ‘Perhaps that will prove that Ha Deok-bi played a trick. This is a must-have item to convince Ha Deok-bi to be judged.’

Certainly, Joongbi asked Woonbaek, the leader of the nobles, to take care of the sachet.

He brought a plausible reason and put it around, but in fact, it was close to the act of destroying evidence using the promotion of the ghost.

Deokbi Ha has good eyesight. If you see the real sachet in person, you may express the fact that the embroidery on it is not your own. Then things get complicated.

So, it was necessary to damage the sachet in some way. Before this piece of evidence popped up in front of the emperor’s eyes, it had to be torn or burned to make it difficult to distinguish the embroidery.

So, before that, the sachet had to come into the hands of the middle wife at least once.

However, things started to go haywire when Deokbi Ha exploded gunpowder and started a fire at Baekho Palace.

Ha Chae-rim, who was swept away in the aftermath of the explosion, had no spirit to control himself, and Unbaek also had to chase after Ha Deok-bi, who had fled. In such an urgent situation, with the building burning and the warriors of the enemy palace flocking, there was no way he had time to care about the sachet in his arms.

Ha Deok-bi himself may have thought that all his struggles were meaningless.

The struggle to survive was steadily increasing Deokbi Ha’s lifeline.

“Tell me about the heavy cost.”

As I held up the Emperor’s cold gaze, I felt as if cold water was splashing all over my body. But even a stutter here will ruin everything.

“It is true that I asked the leader of the nobles to bring me a sachet.”

When Jung-bi said that, there was a buzz once again in the middle of the room. It was the fact that Seol Tae-pyeong’s words were true.

However, the middle queen was also a person who had survived and endured for decades in the main palace.

As it was, Jung-bi went to the middle of the tent and sat down and prayed.

Did the heavy rain admit all the sins? All the high-ranking officials of the party widened their eyes at the shocking fact, but the words of the heavy secret that followed were different from their expectations.

“your majesty. However, how could asking for a sachet be a sin? I just wanted to prepare the evidence in advance to prove Ha Deok-bi’s disloyalty…”

Heaven helped Ha Chae-rim.

The situation was so urgent that I couldn’t put my hands on the sachet, but the sachet had already lost its original form due to the chaos in the burning White Tiger Palace. The original purpose has been achieved. It was truly a miracle that would not be enough even if I prayed to the sky several times.

If that’s the case, you can survive here if you escape.

The one who scorned the noble queen, took advantage of the leader of the nobles, falsely framed Ha Deokbi, and even lied to the emperor.

If you carry all of those sins, you won’t be able to leave Qingdao Palace alive.

Even so… I feel that things are getting twisted compared to originally planned. The heavy rain gnashed its teeth inwardly.

Yes. According to the original plan, nothing would have happened.

As I initially thought, it would be the end if I used the nobles to arrest Ha Deok-bi and bring her to the emperor to reveal her sins in detail.

He had to take the sachet that Unbaek was carrying before going into the tent, and he had to untie all the ends of the embroidery or roll it on the dirt floor a few times.

However, because of a third-rate warrior kneeling in front of that emperor, bowing his head.

Everything is twisted because of that ugly guy who shows up out of nowhere and ruins everything.

However, even if the sky collapses, there is a hole through which it will rise.

Joong-bi shed tears and tried to calm the situation.

“your majesty! Please do not doubt this woman’s loyalty!”

However, the situation was already slowly declining.

“…If so, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

Mirae, who had been quietly lowering her head, raised her head and stood up.

The other high-ranking officials were making faces that seemed to be ambiguous, but already spoke in a tone that was half confident about the future of the commander-in-chief.

“Didn’t you keep quiet about the fact that you prepared the sachets in advance?”

“That…that’s…”

“The warriors of the enemy palace ran around with their feet on fire to find the sachet. As soon as the leader of the nobles took the sachet, he would have rushed to the Palace of the White Tiger, so even if he didn’t know about it, how could he have been hiding the existence of the sachet until now?”

The eyes of the audience gathered at Mi-rae, who was constantly talking.

Not a single word of the future was wrong.

He took a look at Seol Tae-pyeong, who was kneeling, and then spoke with his eyes gently closed and opened.

“Are you in trouble if there is a sachet in this place?”

It is not easy to look suspiciously at the heavyweight. The same is true even if he is the commander of the enemy palace.

However, in the future, he raised his voice with conviction and spoke to the emperor.

“your majesty! Deokbi Ha must have talked desperately!”

– ‘Let me take a closer look at the sachet on the podium! If it’s a gift that would have been sent directly to the queen, it would be natural for me to embroider it myself.’

– ‘I know the number I put. If I could see it myself… I could prove that the sachet wasn’t made by me!’

Ha Deok-bi’s pupils tremble a little, as her arms are tied behind her head and her head is lowered.

Crying out loud to confirm the embroidery was not done out of any certainty or confidence.

These are the words I said with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw because I didn’t want to accept death as it is. Actually, if you look at the sachet, there might be a clue to something.

The same goes for the burning of the Baekho Palace.

There was no certainty that he could survive this way. I just couldn’t stay still.

They were the result of struggling to survive each moment for a little longer.

‘…’

Seol Tae-pyeong, dripping blood, bowed his head.

The words he had been saying as a habit suddenly passed through Deokbi Ha’s chest.

Even if you are ugly and pitiful, struggle to live even for one more second.

Do not yearn for those who accept death and leave noble and beautiful.

Even if you roll in the mud, bite your opponent’s trousers, growl vulgarly… you must never stop trying.

From noble mtl dot com

Never give up on struggling to survive. Even if it seems meaningless, if you grit your teeth and try, some meaning will bloom.

“Right now, I can’t take a closer look at the embroidery because the sachet is in a mess… but when I think of Deokbi Ha shouting with confidence, the situation is too unnatural!”

The future shouted in a loud voice.

“Isn’t this all too exquisite to be a coincidence!”

As the future shouted, a murmur spread among the dignitaries.

Deokbi Ha shouted that he could prove his innocence as long as he had the sachet.

And, the heavy rain showed a movement as if he was trying to hide the sachet somehow.

Yes. It’s too close to be a coincidence.

Among the confused dignitaries, Emperor Seon Unseong spoke in a lofty voice at the top.

“A reasonable point.”

And, the emperor’s cold gaze turned to the heavy rain.

“You tell me. Why did you keep quiet about the fact that you knew the location of the sachet?”

Because I didn’t have to say anything.

If you dare to show the sachet to Ha Deok-bi, you don’t know how things will turn out.

And, I couldn’t have imagined that a soldier whose name I didn’t know would show up after beating the leader of the demons and insert a sachet.

I never imagined that the owner of the Palace of the White Tiger would burn the Palace of the White Tiger to the point of struggling and running away.

All the reasons that made the snowball grow are too many to list one by one, but…

“that…”

However, no reason could come out of the mouth of the heavy rain.

“It is—”

Cold sweat began to run down his face. You have to find an excuse for something.

The emperor understands, the dignitaries understand, and Ha Deok-bi cannot refute… The reason why Jung-bi was hiding the location of the sachet… must be made right now…

If you drag on the sluggish time, the blade of doubt will fly towards you. When that happens, everything is over.

However, what do you mean by answer… The head spinning to the limit screams, but the suspicious gaze toward the heavy rain does not lift.

“I am…”

The heavy rain eventually answered with a voice that stopped.

“I… my memory… wasn’t as good as before… so I forgot… for a while… I’m buying it…”
