Surviving the Romance Fantasy

chapter 5



“Get your mind right! Both of your parents are alive and well!”

“What are you talking about. Baekseon, the old man who took care of us, was also killed by this master. The Crown Prince, Seol Nain, and you were also killed by Sukbi. let’s kill this woman have to kill now kill it, tear it to death let’s split the boat Let’s take out the guts and cut them all apart.”

With my eyes tightly closed, I grabbed Yeon-ri by the waist and tied her up.

For now, it seemed like it would be better to leave this room and get out of the scope of seduction.

– ‘Taepyeong, you must survive.’

– ‘Even if it’s a one-hundredth, one-thousandth chance, you must never stop trying to survive. Taiping.’

– ‘Even if you look stupid and meaningless, you should never give up on life.’

– ‘I can live. You can definitely live, Taepyung. Never doubt that fact.’

*

As soon as Yeon-ri came out of the central building of the Blue Dragon Palace, she vomited. It seemed that the aftermath lingered for a long time because he was not familiar with seduction.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…”

After vomiting for a while, I was finally able to find reason.

Then, as soon as she felt the gazes of the ladies-in-waiting around her, she blushed as if she was ashamed of having vomited in front of so many people.

“Ji…Really…I almost killed you…”

Eventually, as soon as I found the opposite s*x, I broke out in a cold sweat.

“How are you feeling?”

“Thank you, Tae-pyeong-ah… I’m a little better now… I think I saw a kaleidoscope… I also had a lot of… terrible nightmares…”

“nightmare? What nightmare…?”

“Archie… It was a dream to eat rice soup with lots of blanched shoots…”

“…to the point of having nightmares?”

The hand that was patting Yeon-ri on the back also stopped.

Seeing her eyes fully restored, I felt somewhat relieved. If there is a problem with Yeon-ri’s safety, even the elderly with white lines will be very worried.

“Yeah, I hope my condition is back.”

Then, I stood up and looked around at the ladies-in-waiting gathered around me.

In the center, the maid of honor of the Blue Dragon Palace was visible.

I walked slowly and approached the maid. The maid flinched and trembled.

I grabbed the head maid by the collar.

The ladies-in-waiting gathered all at once opened their eyes wide in surprise.

“Cheer, heo. Kuck.”

“Tae, Tae-pyeong! what are you doing!”

I grabbed the maid and dragged her down the floor and threw her into the front yard.

“Cheuk!”

Thrown helplessly to the dirt floor, the maid coughed.

Yeon-ri was startled and ran out into the front yard.

“Tae, Tae-pyeong! I said it’s okay! No matter what, if you act like this to the lady-in-waiting… it won’t end with flogging…!”

In terms of court protocol, military officers are usually much higher than concubine ladies-in-waiting. No wonder.

However, no matter how much it was, it was impossible for a young apprentice samurai to swing his fist at the head lady-in-waiting.

As I said, when you become the chief maid of the Blue Dragon Palace, you are bound to hire a woman of sufficiently noble status.

He is a person who has to support the crown prince by his side, which is natural.

If you hear the story of an apprentice warrior beating the crown princess’ maidservant, the main palace will be shocked and turned upside down.

And I will kick that apprentice warrior out of the palace right away. In some cases, it may be punished with a big brother.

Since Yeon-ri knew that fact, she was startled and tried to stop me, but it didn’t take long for Yeon-ri to feel a sense of incongruity.

“…”

Yeon-ri swallowed dry saliva and looked around.

It was so quiet that it seemed strange.

A mere apprentice warrior beat the maid, but no maids of secondary or higher level came forward.

As if the warrior’s anger was justified.

And, as if they were also sinners.

“Why didn’t you take my sword before entering the boudoir?”

That question would become a dagger and stab the maid in the chest.

Yeon-ri also held her breath as if she realized something.

Throwing it into the swamp of seduction without any prior explanation and without even taking the blade away… is nothing short of madness.

Even if I resisted the master’s trick, Yeon-li almost killed the master.

“Did you use us to kill your master?”

I couldn’t help but think so.

Before entering the boudoir, the only one who tried to take my sword was the young apprentice Nine.

I looked back.

Numerous middle- and high-ranking maids kept their mouths shut like bags of barley borrowed from them.

“I have committed a mortal sin.”

At that moment, the lady-in-waiting knelt down, bowed her head, and planted her head on the dirt floor.

The reason why I am so outraged and unable to say a word despite my noble status is that it would not be strange if I told the high-ranking officials of the main palace that they would all be sentenced to death.

“oh my god…”

Lily’s eyes trembled. His voice was also trembling.

“How… the ladies-in-waiting of the Blue Dragon Palace…!”

“Because I thought this was the right thing to do.”

The lady-in-waiting spoke with tears streaming down her face.

“Ever since you took the throne, there has not been a single day when I haven’t been there for you. I took pride in being the lady-in-waiting of the Blue Dragon Palace, and I looked after the lady’s illness with all my heart every day.”

The maid’s tears fell onto the dirt floor.

“You don’t know how desperate we were after finding out it was a fever. Still, we tried our best in every possible way to save the lady’s life.”

“…”

“All we can do is draw clean water, clean the room, try to feed one more spoonful of porridge, and pray every night… but somehow, we work day and night to make your master’s condition better. I did… but…”

Power came into the hands of the head maid who was resting on the dirt floor.

“After that, a hundred and forty more days passed. The seasons have changed twice. The disease continues to worsen, but the master keeps complaining of more and more pain… Eventually, he starts begging for death, and five days ago, he began to use mysterious magic tricks…”

The other middle school maids surrounding her couldn’t help a single word.

“I have heard that the moment a fever sets in, it is practically the same as being dead. It is said that there is a one in a hundred, one in a thousand chance of surviving… but because of that infinitely weak possibility, do I have to endure the pain of the master who is suffering so much…? It is, on the contrary, more cruel…”

“…”

“We did everything we could. I stood by my side, gritted my teeth, and assisted the master, who had to endure the pain of burning his flesh every time with that small body, so that he could live even one more day. However, even I can’t bear this pain anymore… What more can we do? This ideal… is nothing but pointless torture.”

“Then you take matters into your own hands, why are you bringing us in!”

Yeon-ri raised her voice.

He seemed to be getting angry. It was worth it.

The lady-in-waiting admitted that she was right in using us to kill her aunt.

“Because they belong to Baek Seon-gung, I thought that if the two of them did the work… Baek Seon the Elder would take care of them.”

Saying that, the maid hit her head on the dirt floor.

“We are the maids of the Blue Dragon Palace. If we do it, it’s just a felony, but if an elderly person with ringworm steps forward, it’s a different story.”

“…”

“I heard that the two of them are loved by the elderly Baekseon. If you are an old man with white lines, you will come forward and testify that you would not have been able to resist the master’s seduction. If it is the words of Baekseon, an elder who has mastered the art of pilotage, even the high-ranking officials of the main palace will understand. The level of guilt will be greatly reduced. So… I thought it was better… to make them do the work… so… I tried to use them.”

“Haa… I’m so full of energy!”

“I have committed… a mortal sin…”

It was miserable to see the head maid bow her head in front of a lady-in-waiting and an apprentice warrior.

Rubbing her hair on the dirt floor with a tear-stained face, she looked more like a butcher than a maid.

The luxurious high-ranking lady’s clothes were stained with mud and looked like rags.

“Even if you pray like that… We can’t forgive the lady-in-waiting. The lady-in-waiting, she just wanted to be comfortable with herself!”

Yeon-ri clenched her fists in anger.

“Taipyeong! You don’t have to be in a place like this anymore! Let’s go to the main palace officials right now and inform them of the situation! If you leave this crazy place alone, it will cause even greater wrath!”

“That’s right!! I am well aware of the situation!!”

“…uh?”

I raised my fist and spoke to the maid with clenched fists.

“I will forgive you!!!!!”

“What the hell are you talking about, Taepyeong!”

Yeon-ri, who was getting angry instead of me, was stunned.

*

I looked around at the ladies-in-waiting and the Nines. Everyone had their eyes wide open.

It was the same with the maid of honor. I didn’t think I would ever get an answer like this.

“Listen up, Yeon-ri. The ladies-in-waiting actually dragged us in and killed the lady, so there’s no need to do anything.”

“What?”

“It’s enough just to inform the high officials of the main palace that the lady is suffering from a fever.”

Yeon-ri opened her eyes wide when she heard those words.

I went to the head of the maid who was resting her head on the dirt floor and lowered my posture to look at her face.

The maid looked at me with trembling eyes and a haggard face.

“However, you didn’t do that. He hid until the end that it was nothing more than a simple illness, that he had a fever.”

Close your eyes and think about why.

The high officials of the main palace only think of the crown prince.

Suk-bi entered the concubine as the crown prince, but suffered from a fever.

Her education as a crown princess had not yet begun, and she had just sat down.

It’s a new fever at this point. This is a flaw that cannot exist for the crown prince, who needs everything to be perfect.

It didn’t even take its place as a proper rain, and it’s not like a young prince who didn’t know anything attached affection.

In the first place, the two of them must have never even seen each other’s faces, so it would be better for the crown prince to dethrone them before they become attached to each other.

If you are dethroned, you will be kicked out of the Blue Dragon Palace. Being thrown out of the palace with a fever means death.

He will decide that it is better than letting Crown Prince Hyeon-won, who knows nothing, go through the pain of losing his beloved rain.

…Actually, that doesn’t happen.

After all, Crown Prince Hyun-Won is so enamored with Seol-Ran that he won’t even look at other women. Well, that’s a fact I know because it’s me.

In any case, few survived the fever.

It is better to find a new hostess before the crown prince becomes attached. It was obvious that the conclusion would come.

If you’re a lady-in-waiting at the Blue Dragon Palace, you’ll be able to see this trend clearly.

That’s why he was hiding the fact that Sukbi was suffering from a fever.

It’s enough to just report it as it is… The maids of the Blue Dragon’s Palace already fell in love with that young lady, and tried to save her somehow.

But the passing years wear away the will.

While the seasons change twice, the fever shows no sign of going away.

And more than anything else, she herself has been begging for months to kill her, whom she has become very fond of.

Disease doesn’t just kill the sick.

He kills all his family and friends who help him.

It is more common than you think to see the whole family collapse when one of the family members starts fighting cancer.

It was the same with this Blue Dragon Palace.

The long and long illness of the master was devastating the Blue Dragon Palace itself and was slowly killing it.

Even with the addition of Sookbi’s magic tricks, holding on to the crumbling mind reaches its limit…

Eventually, it reached the point where he even helped a warrior with a sword enter the master’s bedroom.

“No one knew about that.”

I wouldn’t have been able to tell you where to go.

There was silence for a while in the courtyard of the Blue Dragon Palace.

“Everyone must have suffered a lot in the past.”

How meaningful that one word must have been, I don’t know from my point of view.

The strange air of sadness spreading among the ladies-in-waiting was… keenly felt.

“It must have been a lot of hardship, so I will take that much into account. I won’t let the main palace know about it.”

“But… I… tried to make you a murderer.”

“It was. You will have to pay the penalty for that. There are many things I want to ask for, but let’s tackle the urgent first.”

I said while rubbing my chin.

“Please obediently cooperate in helping to save the lady.”

“…yes?”

*

– Kung.

I felt as if all the bones in my body were breaking down. Sergeant Jin Qinglang vomited again and vomited blood.

It fell out of bed.

Even just that, the pain in my whole body surged up, and I felt like my brain was burning.

‘Cheer, huh…’

The reason why I managed to move my weak body and fall under the bed was because I caught my eye on the sword of the military officer lying on the floor.

The sword that the Baekseongung warrior entered and left on the floor.

I didn’t even have the strength to bite my tongue off, but it seemed like I could kill myself if I had that sharp sword.

That’s why I somehow came down to pick up that sword that fell on the floor.

I pushed the floor with my thin hands and somehow raised my upper body. That alone made my hands tremble.

When I raised my head like that, the whole body nerve next to the floor came into view.

There was a reflection of his haggard figure.

The sunken eyes, the messy, ghost-like hair, the red ginseng covered with vomit, the skin that smelled disgusting.

The day she left her home after being elected crown prince, the proud parents’ eyes came to mind.

Become the most beautiful flower in Qingdao Palace and live a splendid and dazzling life.

When you think of your parents shedding tears of joy while praying for that… Tears of sadness rise from your face.

There is nothing strange about her being the appearance of a rat, let alone a flower of the court.

It is better to face death than to live in pain and struggle ugly like this.

Sukbi somehow managed to get close to the sword and grabbed the handle.

However, I can’t pick it up. The samurai sword is not light enough for a dying girl to wield.

Still, I try to gnaw my teeth to pick up the sword, but it doesn’t work as I thought.

Even death cannot be decided at will. The fact is so miserable that tears come to my eyes.

– drooling

It was then.

I opened the inner door, and the owner of the sword entered. It was a good thing.

He needed someone to wield that sword in place of his master.

“Oops, I almost got in trouble!”

The warrior of Baek Seon-gung quickly entered the sleeping quarters and snatched the sword his master was trying to lift.

And I put it back in my scabbard.

Sukbi was stunned and barely lifted her head.

Baekseon Palace, where Baekseon, a master of pilotage, resides.

Does it look like that because it’s a samurai from that place?

Through the dim vision, the man’s figure looked like a fairy.

It was good.

She felt the heat rising inside her body. The aura of the swordsmanship flowing through his body stimulated the intense pain even more, but it was fine if he could just die.

Sookbi’s magic tricks grew deeper and stronger in the blink of an eye.

The flow of energy was directed towards the man who entered the room.

Grab hold of the man’s spirit, and whisper in his ear through that energy.

It’s a stronger sign than ever.

kill me No matter what, end this life of pain.

The man’s vision loses focus. The seductive magic that was used would dominate the man and make him wield a sword.

The man, guided by the master’s magic trick, took out a small dagger from his chest.

Did he carry a separate dagger instead of a sword worn on his waist?

The weapon was pretty good.

Thinking that she could finally end this life of pain, Sookbi closed her eyes.

– Pook

However, the man’s dagger was pointed at his own thigh.

“Quaaa!”

A man’s moaning in his ears.

Blood flowed down the man’s thigh.

The dagger stuck in it was aimed at my body.

Suki opened her eyes wide in surprise.

This crazy man had committed self-injury to overcome the illusion.

“Huh uh uh…!! Persistence!!!!”

After shouting a spirit, he approached with a limp and lifted the sukbi from the floor.

“Cheer up!!! Persistence!!!!!!!!!! Passion!!!!! You can do it!!!!!! Ah~ A real man!!!!!”

The body of the master, exhausted by the man, felt almost as light as a feather.

“High mountain, deep valley!! Silent descent!! Snowy wires!!! We go!!!”

The image of chasing away delusion while singing a song of unknown origin is already close to madness in itself.

Couldn’t he be just a madman before he fell for seduction?
