Surviving the Romance Fantasy

Even the emperor cleans himself up before entering the Cheonryongchae. Because it is a place where there is a shrine maiden who obeys the will of the heavenly dragon.

The authority may be weaker than that of the emperor, but even the emperor should keep the manners of treating the owner of the concubine in front of Princess Cheondo.

Roughly, the relationship between a battalion commander and chief sergeant major… I just think about it in a clumsy way.

A place that everyone in the palace, except for the emperor, looked up to and respected. Heavenly Lady.

Yes.

Later, it was the seat that Seolran would occupy.

“I don’t think there’s a problem with the truth itself?”

While being guided by Cheonryongchae’s middle-class lady-in-waiting, I inspected the amulets attached to various places in the concubine.

Baekseon’s skill is certain. Even though it has already been a year since Jinbeop was installed in the concubine, Bangsuljin, which blocks the influence of evil spirits and dangerous pilotage, is still intact.

“…”

His eyes stung at the barrel full of nines and ladies-in-waiting everywhere he went, but it was work, so he couldn’t help it.

The concubine of Qingdao Palace is the size of a decent village.

The four palaces and the central Cheonryongchae, plus Seongung, where nine men and ladies-in-waiting live, and Inseongung, where doctors and archivists live…

It took a whole year just to look at the talismans attached to various places.

“Your savior’s illness doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Jinbeop.”

“Is that so… I’m sure that’s what Samurai Baek Seon-gung said.”

The middle school maid spoke sadly.

Although he was only a young apprentice warrior, he understood my words when I gave him the name of Baekseon.

It was the moment when I felt the authority of Baekseon.

“The hostess must be very ill.”

“Every night is a struggle. I am a lady-in-waiting belonging to the Cheonryongchae, so I only hear about it, but I see the expressions of the ladies-in-waiting of the Blue Dragon Palace getting darker day by day.”

Judging from what the sentry said, it seemed that the old man with white lines wanted me to check on Sukbi’s condition.

Usually, the inspiration’s actions had their own reasons.

“Then, I’ll just check the hostess’s condition and go. We should head to the Blue Dragon Palace.”

*

In fact, there were not very good rumors circulating about the hostess’ illness.

Because time is time.

Gwibi, Hyunbi, Sukbi, Deokbi.

Aren’t the four masters of the concubine one of the highest positions within the palace that a woman can reach?

Hyeonbi and Deokbi’s seats are still empty. Because the selection process is not over.

Currently, only the princess and queen consort are the hostesses of each palace, but…

“It’s Yeon-ri.”

I said as if tossing it on the way to the Blue Dragon Palace.

“It doesn’t feel right, so you just go back.”

“…”

Yeon-ri also trembled, but shook her head. It’s a bit like coming here and going back.

The reason why such an unusual reaction comes and goes is because there is a high probability that nothing good will come of it.

Although Sukbi was elected as the crown prince and was placed in the Blue Dragon Palace, in fact, she does not play a role as a consort.

It was because the crown prince was still too young.

Crown Prince Hyunwon, the next emperor, is 13 now, and will be 14 when he celebrates his birthday this winter.

Thirteen is obviously too young to know about a woman. However, after the age of 14, the story changes little by little.

Considering the era in which mid- to late-teenagers are regarded as the appropriate age for marriage, it is a story of an age at which the eyes begin to turn toward the crown prince.

Well, in fact, the prince fell for Seol-ran, the heroine, so he stopped paying attention to other women. However, there is no way the people of Qingdao Palace could have predicted that.

The crown prince’s favor is, after all, the power within this concubine.

As the prince’s age increases year by year, Bideul’s competition to catch the prince’s eyes begins.

It would be rather recommended if it was a good-willed competition to beautify your appearance, learn poetry, calligraphy, and become a benevolent and wise person.

However, where is the competition always beautiful and good?

It is the scenery of the concubine of Qingdao Palace, which seems to spread a beautiful landscape wherever you look.

This is a battleground for women, where all sorts of scheming and scheming run amok.

At a time like this, the hostess’ illness.

If you like conspiracy theories a little, you might be able to imagine something outrageous.

That there is someone who is aiming for the seat of the hostess.

Or that there is someone who wants to keep the accommodation expenses in check.

It’s a dangerous idea that you might end up living in prison the moment you say it out of your mouth, but…

Among the ladies-in-waiting, there must be some gossip.

No matter how you look at it, it seemed that there would be nothing good about getting involved, so I wondered if it was necessary to bring Yeon-ri.

In the end, Yeon-ri didn’t go back until she came to the front gate of the Blue Dragon Palace.

“I have come because there is an order from an elderly man with white lines to come and look after his wife’s illness.”

Saying that, I went inside, and the lady-in-waiting of the Blue Dragon Palace personally came to greet me.

The head maid of each palace.

It was a high-ranking position that would not be entrusted to anyone except the daughter of a well-known local noble family, or a woman with an official position, even if it was just an assortment.

I was taken aback because I didn’t expect the maid to come out in person, but considering the situation, it wasn’t that strange.

“You are the warrior of Paekseon Palace. He was promised in advance that he would come. However, I was surprised that he was younger than I thought.”

“I just came to check the situation. What does the senator say?”

“…if you see for yourself, you will understand the situation.”

Listening to what he said, it seems that it has been quite a while since the lawmaker stopped visiting.

No, every night is a hump, why?

Wouldn’t it be strange to have a member of parliament clinging to you all day long?

I thought the situation was strange, and followed the maid into the depths of the Blue Dragon Palace.

*

Sukbi is a place where a pure and good disposition is valued by supporting the energy of the blue dragon among the gods of the four directions.

Also, in ‘Cheonryong Love Song’, he was skilled in mysterious techniques and appeared as a master of pilotage.

In particular, he was good at seduction to control people’s thoughts, but Sukbi used that great ability for a cause rather than for self-defense.

The sukbi I saw in the novel was beautiful and wise as the owner of the blue dragon palace, and had a strong temperament like a heron who did not shy away even in the face of a great divine beast.

Well, that’s all from a few years later. It is a long time in the past from the story of Cheonryong Love Song.

At most, in the original work, only the first meeting between Mirae and Seolran, which only appeared in flashbacks, has progressed.

Only now, Sukbi was nothing more than a thirteen-year-old girl who had just been elected crown prince.

– ‘Look there… He’s a warrior from the Baekseon Palace…’

– ‘He must have come to see Mrs….’

– ‘You look young… Car, you’re wearing a knife…’

– ‘That… if so…’

I could hear the voices of the maids whispering.

However, the energy was a bit different from the buzz of the other ladies-in-waiting I saw while wandering around the concubine.

It felt like they were sharing some big secret.

That’s how the central building of Cheongryonggung came out. Probably the place where the hostess who fell ill is taking care of herself.

The closer I got to that place… the oddly less popular.

It is strange to be so quiet in a situation where countless ladies-in-waiting for patients are not enough even if they come and go frantically.

“Go inside, open the inner door, and the hostess will be lying on the bed.”

Saying that, the lady-in-waiting took a few steps back and bowed her head. The guide seems to end here.

Aren’t you coming along? I was about to ask, but I stopped. Because there must be a reason for the actions of a lady-in-waiting.

“I’ll go in first, Tae-pyeong.”

Yeon-ri, who was standing quietly next to her, said. Although he is still young, he is going to go to a woman’s bed anyway. It seemed good that Yeon-ri went in first and checked the situation.

That was the moment when Yeon-ri was about to push away the jangjimun with luxurious decorations.

“wait a minute!”

A young, sharp voice was heard.

And Nine, who looked very young, jumped out onto the floor of the central building.

Judging from the cloud and lightning embroidery on the Nain’s suit, it seemed that this Nine belonged to the Blue Dragon Palace.

I opened the paper door and stood in front of Yeon-ri, who was about to enter.

“You shouldn’t eat inside this… this!”

“…”

I was taken aback by the sudden situation.

“Boo… please. You know how arrogant I am talking.”

“you…?”

“I am the nine apprentices at Blue Dragon Palace. It’s such a lowly status that you don’t even need to know the name. but…”

It takes a lot of courage for an apprentice Nine, who is close to the lowest rank among maids, to interrupt a warrior who is performing official duties.

He himself was trembling and holding back tears, but spoke in a trembling voice.

“Boo, please…! It is the secret wish of this lowly thing. Just… can you just go back…”

“…”

“Uh, uh, you realize how arrogant you are. If you tell me to be flogged, I will do it… If you tell me to cut out my tongue… I will cut it… Please… please… come back just once…”

It was the first time I had ever seen young Nain pray so desperately.

Before I could turn my attention to the head maid behind me, the middle-class maids who were watching the situation in the garden jumped up and grabbed Nine.

“Bunryeong! What’s wrong! Come out quickly!”

“Musa-nim is in trouble! I just came to check the situation!”

“that’s right! Shouldn’t the situation change if I report it to the old man with ringworm?”

“Well, then… even if it’s just a sword at your waist! Give me that sword too! please..! please…!”

“He really…! Are you insane?! Asking a samurai to hand over his sword is an act of great disrespect!”

“Please forgive me, samurai! Bunryeong is still young and has little experience so he doesn’t know what to do..! ruler! Let’s go out! Bunryeong!”

Nine, who had been arguing for a while, was led out by the hands of the middle school maids.

When I glanced at the maid, the maid, who had been bowing her head, lowered her gaze.

After staring at the maid for a while, I turned my gaze back to Yeon-ri.

Yeon-ri nodded and pushed the Jangjimun aside.

A more luxurious inner door appeared. I went into the central building, closed the outer door, looked at the inner door, and spoke to Yeon-ri.

“This is your last chance not to get involved in the situation, Yeon-ri. Doesn’t it seem odd to look at it?”

“Taipyeong. If I go back like this, will there be anything more than being scolded by the old man with white lines?”

Looking at it, it was really Yeon-ri’s words and actions.

Perhaps the reason why the old man Baekseon keeps Yeon-ri in the palace of the Baekseon is because of this courage.

– drooling

As soon as I opened the door and entered, a stench hit my nose.

*

What kind of people are the four princesses in the concubine?

It is the flower of the court and the object of respect for all wives.

They are always beautiful, tidy, wise, and should be exemplary.

However, the woman lying on the bed was more like a spearman than a human being.

Even though there are so many ladies-in-waiting in the Blue Dragon Palace, why can’t they manage hygiene?

The vomit she vomited from the fever is all over the bed. Judging by the stench rising, it seemed that it hadn’t been cleaned for several days.

Her blue-grey hair, which should have been as beautiful as silk, has become a disheveled hair that wraps around her body like thorny bushes.

The emaciated forearms look no different from the shapes of corpses starved to death in the corners of the slums.

“This… this…”

Yeon-ri opened her eyes wide as she saw the scene in front of her. No, what the hell were the maids of the Blue Dragon Palace doing until they reached this point?

Yeon-ri covered her mouth, unable to overcome the nauseating stench.

I was too embarrassed to even think about getting close to the bed.

The sound of a woman repeating only coughing and moaning in the rising heat.

At that moment, she may have recognized that we entered the room… I feel like the woman’s expression has changed.

At the same time, the aura of the mysterious sorcerer covers the whole body.

‘Uuk…!’

It was also a moment when I felt nauseous.

– Suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering.

A voice like someone whispering spreads in my ears.

– It hurts, it hurts, it’s hard. I can’t lift a finger. It’s hard, it’s painful, it’s painful, it’s painful, my whole body doesn’t have strength. It’s hard, it’s hard, it’s hard

I found it difficult to keep my balance.

At that moment, one word penetrated my brain like a dagger.

– Kill me.

His gaze wavered greatly.

– Kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me.

– It’s hard, it’s hard, I don’t want to suffer more, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me.

This… among all the piloting techniques… is the trick of deception.

It was the power to dye people’s hearts with delusion and manipulate them according to their will.

– Kill me, kill me, end this pain, kill me, kill me.

– Kill me.

“Hoo-wook…!”

When I came to my senses, I was about to put my hand on the handle of the knife.

I managed to come to my senses by chewing on the tip of the cheek in my mouth. The bitter taste of blood lingered in his mouth.

The basics of how to resist seduction were learned from the old man Baekseon. It was fortunate indeed.

After gritting my teeth and regaining my strength, I checked the state of the hostess.

And then I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide. It was because the dark red spots that climbed up on the skin were clear.

“This… is a fever…”

– ‘And considering the condition of the lady who was ill… you might be more helpful than me.’

It was only then that he seemed to understand a little of what Baekseon meant.

I too suffered from a fever when I was young.

Usually, nine out of ten people who suffer from a fever… No, ninety-nine out of a hundred die.

It is said that those who survived sometimes open their eyes to mysterious and extraordinary abilities that were not there before. It was only then that I thought I knew why Sukbi was so good at piloting in ‘Cheonryong Sonata’.

Did he suffer from a fever right around the time he was chosen as a sukbi?

There is a fact that many people do not know.

Most people who suffer from fever die, and half of them die by suicide.

A fever that causes people to die in pain for several months, eventually makes them give up their lives.

A man’s spirit is not strong enough to endure this constant rush of pain at the mere penny of possibility of living.

The mind that slowly wears out over several months eventually makes you find a way to die a little more comfortably.

The fever hasn’t gone away yet, so this level of seduction? It seems that there was a reason why Cheonryong Love Song gave off such a fresh atmosphere.

A mysterious sage contemplating the world with her bluish hair gracefully flowing and sitting in the main house of the Blue Dragon Palace, covering her mouth with a drooping silk sleeve. Sookbi Jincheongrang.

Those who have overcome a fever that almost always kills them the moment they get sick often have a unique miraculous feeling in their bodies.

Subi was one of those people.

The pain of a fever can never be understood or sympathized with by anyone who has never really suffered from it.

You will feel as if the demons of hell are constantly whispering in your ear.

Death is the only way out.

Come on, escape from this endless fire of pain.

– Kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me.

“Keugh.”

I shook my head again and stood up from my seat.

That was the moment.

– Sreuk!

I pulled out the sword that was tied to my waist.

It’s not me, it’s Yeon-ri.

“The blade… was here… barely found it…”

It was only then that I realized the sense of incongruity in the bleak bedroom. In this room, there is not a single blade or dull object that could be used as a weapon.

The ladies-in-waiting had put them all away.

“Hey dude, wake up!”

I quickly grabbed Yeon-ri’s arm.

The knife fell from Yeon-ri’s hand and rolled on the floor.

“You have to kill it. I have to kill you.”

At that moment, Yeon-ri and I met eyes. A wisp of goose bumps ran down his back.

There is no reason in bloodshot eyes.

The silky veins rising from the pure white snow are like those of a madman, making you swallow dry saliva just by encountering them.

“I have to kill you, Tae-pyeong. Listen to me… I mean… I’m right…”

“…it turned out right.”

“Kill, kill, kill. put an end to this pain let’s kill huh? kill it, you have to kill it Come on, pick up your knife. have to kill let’s kill Let’s kill them.”

Yeon-ri has no resistance to this kind of piloting.

Even if she belonged to Baek Seon-gung, it would not have been easy for her to learn resistance to pilotage as she was only a lady-in-waiting.

It didn’t take long to slowly fade into that madness.

“Come to think of it, you are the enemy of my parents. The one who tore my parents to shreds is the master. Now is your chance, let’s kill it.”
