Surviving the Romance Fantasy

Regardless of the irrationality and nastiness of the world… it’s just a story from Heavenly Dragon Love Story.

“So, just come to the activation room. “He acts as a double agent between the scholar and me.”

*

Black Moon Captain Cheong Jinming could not help but doubt both his eyes and both his ears.

The same was true for the Black Moon Team members around them.

Although a 5th rank Tongseokjang is by no means worthy of being called a high official, it is still an official position with a level of authority that cannot be compared to that of ordinary people.

It’s funny that such a person even showed up to have a private meeting with the Black Moon Captain, even getting beaten up, and even though he was beaten all night long, he still managed to eliminate all the Black Moon members in one blow.

Moreover, what they are saying is that after beating up Cheong Jin-myeong himself… they are asking him to come under my command.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that he’s someone whose inner thoughts you can’t read, but I never thought it would be like this.

‘What kind of person does this…’

In addition, he knows all the confidential information that has never been revealed to anyone.

There is even the fact that the person behind Blackwoldae is scholar Sim Sang-gon, and their plan is to assassinate Crown Prince Hyeonwon…

Tongseokjang, who is sitting on a wooden table, seems to have a knife hanging from his eye.

Just looking at him felt like he was piercing everything to the core, so Cheong Jin-myeong had to swallow dry saliva once.

If you use your tongue incorrectly, there will be unbearable consequences one after another. That Tongseokjang in front of you is definitely not the type of person you can control.

Nevertheless… Cheong Jin-myeong, who had caught his breath, slowly spoke out.

“Can you trust and control a person who easily changes who he should trust and follow… by calling him a leader?”

Even though he may have been reduced to an ugly group that kills people on request, he spoke the truth.

“Once I decide to follow someone, I never change that decision.”

Even if a knife flew at me right after those words, I felt like I had nothing to say.

The correct rule is to kill enemies who fail to appease. From Tongseokjang’s perspective, there was absolutely no reason to keep Cheong Jinmyeong alive, as there was no way to know what harm he would inflict on Cheongdo Palace.

The warrior in front of me is clearly far above me.

Nevertheless… I can’t help but try to resist. Cheong Jin-myeong was looking at the broken swords lying around, preparing to pick them up and pull them out at any moment.

“…”

– Clap, clap, clap.

However… Seol Tae-pyeong, the head of the National Assembly, applauded and shed tears of emotion.

“…?”

“Indeed… that spirit of not breaking his will even in the face of the blade of death… is definitely worthy of being called a man…!”

Yes.

The person named Seol Tae-pyeong was someone that Cheong Jin-myeong could not fathom.

“Damn it… I highly value your courage in maintaining your integrity even in this situation…!”

Cheong Jin-myeong had to somehow hide his astonished expression.

As the story that internal inspector Seol Tae-pyeong’s fate was unclear spread throughout the concubines, there was a murmur even among the maids.

As soon as she heard the terrible news that a government official had been kidnapped right near Cheongdo Palace, the head maid An Lim also checked the security near Hyeonmu Palace again.

It was a basic skill of a head maid to know how to strengthen her inner self the more such impure rumors were heard.

“From now on, make sure to close the middle gate whenever you enter or leave. “It may be a little cumbersome, but make sure to accurately record and report the identities and impressions of people coming and going.”

“yes.”

“It’s a noisy time inside and outside the palace, so let’s be more careful.”

After giving clear instructions to the superior maids belonging to Hyeonmu Palace, An Lim entered the inner room of Hyeonmu Palace and inspected the condition of Jangjimun.

He also looked at the structure of the building from the beginning to see if there were any other ways the assassin could have entered, and asked the military officers of the Red Palace guarding the perimeter of the Hyeonmu Palace walls to be especially careful.

Speaking of the crown princes, everyone’s expressions became serious.

There is a rumor that Queen Jin is preparing something by locking herself in her room, and it seems that Queen In has gone to visit In Seon-rok of the Sangseogwan in person. Ha Deok-bi had been a bit infrequent in the news lately… but he also seemed to be going through a lot of trouble.

Speaking of heartache, the same goes for my owner, Po Hyeon-bi.

It was truly a headache for the head maid, An Lim, but Hyunbi Bae Po-ryeong seemed to cherish the head of the house, Seol Tae-pyeong, as her closest friend in the Cheongdo Palace.

Considering that he had jumped over the wall of Hyeonmu Palace to chat before leaving to subdue demons… it seemed like he might take some unexpected action this time as well.

‘First of all, I have to report to Queen Po to tell her to be careful as the security situation doesn’t seem to be good recently.’

After seeing the face of Xue Taiping for the first time in a long while at the Blue Dragon Palace, Po Xuanbi’s condition was unusual. There were times when I looked in the direction of the main palace while walking on the floor for no reason, and this was like a sign that an emergency would occur.

Lady Anlim already knew enough about Hyeonbi Po. Most likely, he would like to meet Seol Tae-pyeong alone and resolve past issues.

Every three years of Seodanggae, we recite Pungwol…!

There is no way that Chief Maid Anlim, who has been Hyeonbi Po’s maid for more than three years, would not have been able to properly understand even a single detail of her master’s behavior…!

What is important here is preemptive response. Before Po Hyeon-bi did something foolish, he had to go into the inner room and pay close attention.

– Grumble

– ‘I’m sorry, Anlim! The moonlight is nice and the night breeze is cool, so it would be nice to go for a walk!’

– ‘I’ll be back before the sun rises!’

– ‘I love Anlim so much for always working hard and working hard on my behalf!’

However, no matter how much Anlim he was, he could not move ahead of the intelligent Po Hyeonbi.

“…”

The inner room was already empty.

Intelligent butterfly. Hyeonjeop (賢蝶) Paturyeong.

The agility of Hyeonjeop achieved by overcoming mental fever… did not seem to be limited to body movements.

The world seems to be speaking to Anlim.

Are you trying to snatch a butterfly swimming freely among the flowers with your dull human hands?

There is no way!! conflict!!

“Hyeonbi……………………”

An Rim had to sit on the floor, holding his face.

Heukwoldae (5)

The plot to assassinate Crown Prince Hyeonwon, which Sim Sang-gon, a scholar, had been preparing for several years ends in a very futile failure.

This is because Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong, who was at the core of the plan, failed to kill Prince Xuanyuan.

The reason… I already knew, having read Heavenly Dragon Love Story.

This unscrupulous and unjust plan to assassinate the crown prince… Regardless of its success or failure, it would be natural to stop it by beating up the mastermind…

When I think about the reason why Blackwold couldn’t kill Prince Hyeonwon… I thought it would be okay to just turn my head away for now.

In many ways, it could have been better.

Darkness is fair.

After the darkness of the night settles, whether it is the dazzling courtyard of Hyeonmu Palace or the streets of the active room filled with poor people’s dens, there is only an eulssi-like atmosphere.

As my eyes adapted to the darkness that hung like a curtain, the panoramic view of the active room seemed to be engraved in my eyes at least a little.

‘Is this the active room where Taepyeong’s family gathers?’

Hyunbi Pohwa-ryeong was crossing between buildings, her small body hidden in the darkness.

The light of the crescent moon in the midheaven is too weak to illuminate the entire land.

This is good news for the saturation zone, which needs to move quietly.

The story of how Pohwaryeong acquired the nickname Hyeonjeop is not short.

While Seol Taepyeong was catching and killing countless ghosts in the northern lands, Po-Ryeong was devouring all kinds of books in the library of the main palace.

A couple of months was enough for a gentleman to read all the scriptures that he had to learn throughout his life. After that, he read all kinds of agricultural books, ceremonial books, technical books, historical records, as well as imperial edicts and prefaces to various reports… he just read everything he could find in printed form.

In addition, by taking advantage of the light flapping of wings like a butterfly, I was able to perform various light techniques to the extreme, and I became able to handle small blades and memorization without difficulty.

When she first entered the Xuanwu Palace, she was just a pretty and lively girl, but only two years were enough for her to become a true master of the Xuanwu Palace, fluent in numerous knowledge, adept at improvising, and able to deal with people.

‘The shapes of footprints are diverse, but there is a certain rule that the traces are regular. There are quite a few footprints on the military boots worn by military officers, but if you look closely at his stride, will you be able to discern Taepyeong’s footprints? The footprints of high-ranking civil servants’ military boots are not as large as I thought.’

‘I guess we can estimate stride length and height through the length between footprints. Taepyeong has a noble status for his age. Considering his age, even if he were wearing the same high-ranking military officer’s military boots, his stride would have been relatively narrow…’

‘There are many traces that are presumed to be Taepyeong’s footprints… Among them, you can look at the relatively deep depressions in front of the footprints. ‘It’s a trace of moving forward while being wary of something.’

‘It must have been with its center of gravity forward so that it could jump up and perform a light attack at any time if someone ran at it. Then it’s either this way or this way.’

Bao Bao-ryeong looked at the numerous footprints near Seol Tae-pyeong’s house and immediately recognized what Seol Tae-pyeong’s footprints were. It was an insight so delicate that it could hardly be attributed to a human being.

‘Did they drive it towards the forest and fight… I hope no one gets seriously hurt…’

The news that Seol Taepyeong had been kidnapped caused great confusion among the concubines, but Bao Ba-ryeong was not too worried about him.

Even though he is just a boy who is about to become an adult, Seol Taepyeong is someone who has acquired the qualities of a sword master from Shin Yeol. He is not the type of person who can be subdued simply by bringing in a few assassins.

Through his own inferences and guesses, Pyo-ryeong concluded that Seol Tae-pyeong was captured intentionally.

If you want to take him by force, you can’t take him away quietly and without a trace like this. Because he was a person who could destroy one or two buildings if he decided and resisted.

‘You may not know Lady In and Lady Ha Deok, but Lady Jin may have some idea.’

It is difficult to realize what it means to receive the blessing of divine passion unless you are the person involved.

The fact that Hyeonbi Phwaryeong was given the title Hyeonjeop also played a big role in his belief.

It is a phalaenopsis that swims among the flowers without being caught by anyone. No matter how many military officers were brought from the palace, they could not even touch a single hair on Queen Po.

If you decide to run away, you won’t be able to catch him even if you bring all the demons from the main palace. Even if she secretly ran out of Hyeonmu Palace and wandered around outside whenever she got the chance, that was the reason why the head maid, An Rim, could not do anything to stop her.

Anyway, I don’t know what Seol Taepyeong’s intentions were, but… it was an opportunity to meet him and clear the air without interference from inside or outside the palace.

If possible, since we met, it would have been perfect to find out if she was seriously injured, and to ask her at least some information that would put her at ease since there were many people in the concubine who were worried.

If you continue up the mountainside road like this, you will come across a small hut. Since I had visited all the small mountains near Baeksaksan Mountain, I still remembered that much.

Looking at the movement, the traces seemed to be heading towards the abandoned cabin.

“Who is there!”

“There’s someone over here!”

It was around this time that I was climbing the hill behind the active room, following the traces of Seoltaepyeong.

It is a place so low that it is closer to a garden rather than a hill. A suspiciously large number of assassins were camped out and guarding this place.

“omg!”

Bae Po-ryeong was walking with the end of his palace robes pulled up for fear of getting them dirty.

Meanwhile, numerous assassins came out of the darkness of the night, pressing their mouths with their sleeves in shock.

“So, isn’t she a girl?”

“Why are you climbing the mountain at this hour?”

There were roughly fifteen members of the Black Moon Team who showed up.

When one of them took out a knife and asked, Bae Po-ryeong had to think about what to answer.

First of all, it seems to have come to the right place at the point when the Black Moon Team members came out. Seol Taepyeong was probably here.

“Well, that… I took the wrong route…”

Although she usually treats all kinds of maids poorly and gives orders, she has no hesitation in using polite language in urgent situations. This is because he originally came from a commoner background.

As the girl stuttered and said that, the Black Moon Team members looked at each other’s faces.

First of all, looking at her appearance in the darkness, it doesn’t seem very dangerous. He is short in stature and has a weak voice, so it seems like he is really just a person who has taken the wrong path.

However, soon the moonlight began to appear little by little… and as the girl’s dazzling court uniform came into view, the mood of the Black Moon members changed.

They wore clothes that were as inconspicuous as possible, but even the simplest clothes looked very noble in the eyes of commoners. There is no way that the owner of Hyeonmu Palace could hide his presence so easily.

Eventually, someone came out who recognized that face.

“It’s a direct saturation order!”

“what…? Tongue, why is the owner of Hyeonmu Palace…! “In a place like this…!”

It felt like I had encountered a dragon along the way. The owner of Hyeonmu Palace suddenly fell into the middle of a hill.

One of the Black Moon members quickly lowered his posture and jumped up. This was because it seemed necessary to inform Captain Black Moon of this fact.

However, no matter how much of a Black Moon Team member he was, he couldn’t move as quickly as Po-Ryeong, who was blessed with divine heat.

– Hwiik.

Is it appropriate to say that it feels like I’m flying with the wind? No, it’s actually the wind itself.

Without even feeling like he had put in a lot of effort, he placed the tip of the shoe on the tip of the arm of the member of the Black Moon in front, as if he were dancing and swimming.

“…!”

The collar of the palace uniform was fluttering like the wings of a butterfly.

It still looks like he is holding on to the end in case dirt gets on it.

The body of Po-Ryeong, who carefully sits down on the arm of the Black Moon member who is holding out his sword… I can barely feel the weight.

I heard that someone who reaches the peak of meditation can even erase the weight of his own body.

These are the ones who ride on the fluttering leaves, climb on the tip of the swinging sword blade without a care in the world, and run around the battlefield performing eccentric acts that cannot even be guessed.

“Oh, I’m sorry if it hurts… I’m just saying it hurts…”

“what?”

At that moment, Bao Po-ryeong moved his foot and scattered the dirt on the tip of his shoe into the Black Moon Dae-won’s eyes.

-Sigh!

“K, keaaak!”

“I-I’m sorry!” Sorry! If you wash it off with water, there won’t be any major problems! Oh, really! maybe? Anyway, really!”

It twisted its body once, jumped, and landed on a tree branch.

The appearance of Bae Po-ryeong riding like a squirrel on a tree in the dark. The appearance does not match the luxurious palace attire at all.

All members of the Black Moon had to harden their expressions and take out their weapons.

As the moonlight gradually falls, Pohwaryeong appears again.

She thought to herself as she tidied up her collar in a mysterious manner.

‘….scared!’

…Anyway, it was my first time in real combat.

*

“The command to saturate the mountain has been reached. “Maybe this cabin is the destination…!”

“what…? Hyeonbi…?”

Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong, who had been talking with Seol Tae-pyeong for a while, sounded embarrassed.

It is no different from saying that a lion has appeared in the middle of the sea. Why does the owner of Hyeonmu Palace suddenly appear here?

In fact, there was only one reason that could be said. When Cheong Jin-myeong turned his head and looked at Seol Tae-pyeong, he was also sweating profusely.

“…Why is Po Hyeonbi here…?”

He didn’t seem to know the reason either.

However, I could guess.

Hyeonbi Pohwaryeong is definitely not the type of person that can be locked in a cage.

He was mature in his own way and accustomed to the royal court’s laws, so he didn’t do anything reckless, but he was still a person who had no way to tie him down if he didn’t want to be tied down to the royal court.

Since Seol Tae-pyeong had not had a chance to properly solve the problem even once since his return, it seemed certain that he had followed Seol Tae-pyeong in order to check his condition. No matter what anyone said, she really liked a man named Seol Tae-pyeong.

Po Hyeon-bi’s strength is weak, but the agility of his movements is at a level that is difficult for even advanced martial artists to follow. No matter how sincerely the members of the Black Moon Team try to pursue it, it will be difficult to even catch up with them.

It certainly wouldn’t take long to reach the cabin. They will try to clearly see with their own eyes who the Black Moon Captain who kidnapped Seol Taepyeong is.

‘That’s… not good…’

The incident surrounding Crown Prince Hyeonwon was essential for Seolran to succeed as a high-ranking maid. In addition, it also serves as an opportunity for Crown Prince Hyeonwon to begin to reconsider the value of life.

Although there was a major crisis, it did not result in casualties, and in fact, it was an opportunity to get rid of Sim Sang-gon, a disciple, so it was desirable to stand up.

However… if Po Hyeon-bi checks the face of Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong, things may get messy.

This is because Cheong Jin-myeong disguises himself as a civil servant and invades the palace to observe the situation. It won’t be that difficult because there will be help from scholar Shim Sang-gon.

The reason why he didn’t show himself in front of others to the extent that people thought he would do this was probably because he wanted to hide his appearance as much as possible. Because no one should notice his hidden presence in the palace.

Therefore, if he revealed his face to Hyeonbi Po, who never forgot his face once he saw it, all his plans would be ruined. It’s nothing more than a plan to get his hands on Prince Hyeonwon, but it’s dangerous to leave clues like that.

If you give even the smallest clue, Po Hyeon-bi, who has a quick mind, may start from that clue and arrive at the truth in an instant.

However, we cannot tell them to keep quiet about the plot to assassinate Crown Prince Hyeonwon.

No matter how much I consider him a close friend, how can I ask him to participate in the assassination of Crown Prince Hyeonwon? Even if he actually had no intention of assassinating him, it was reasonable to assume that there was no way to convince him of that.

In that case, it was right to hide everything that could be hidden for now.

“Ugh…”

Seol Taepyeong rested his chin and thought for a moment. It seemed like a good idea to do something.

From Noble mtl dot com

– Woe! Woe!

– Hwiik!

I feel like I’m trying to cut off water. It means that there is absolutely no way to cut it.
