When I belatedly greeted Grandfather, he gave me a scolding, smacking my cheek.
“A hundred years too late, you rascal. Where do you think I allowed you two to be in a relationship? Even now, your father is in a difficult situation, and what will happen later is uncertain.”
“Hey, Grandfather. How can you be so harsh on him like that?”
“I am originally a narrow-minded and clumsy old man.”
Once again, Grandfather glanced at Danmokbi. Wisely, Danmokbi bowed her head, avoiding Grandfather’s gaze.
Grandfather told Danmokbi to step back. If there were conversations to be had between us two, it was about my mother’s story.
After Danmokbi left following Jegalmin’s guidance, only Grandfather and I remained in the room. I finally caught my breath.
“What about Mother?”
I thought he would talk about the funeral soon, but Grandfather’s response was unexpected.
“She dressed early. She’s already well-prepared.”
“What? Why?”
Makeup? It was so unexpected that I froze, and Grandfather’s answer was even more surprising.
“The body was too damaged, so there was no choice but to do makeup. Originally, we planned to put her in the coffin, but it seems the body won’t decay like this.”
“The body won’t decay. That’s…”
I was about to ask, but I stiffened. Come to think of it, even after ten or more years, my mother’s body was well preserved.
In fact, mummies do not form without proper pressure and sealing. However, the bodies of our parents were preserved to the extent that the flesh clung to the bones.
Grandfather spoke with a painful expression.
“Yeah. It seems like it was used as an offering for some wicked sorcery.”
That statement wasn’t very surprising. I had sensed something unsettling since entering that dilapidated house. However, when he mentioned sorcery, something came to mind.
‘Could it be that my parents were one of the sacrifices for summoning me?’
The fact that I, their child, was not ordinary was the thought that crossed my mind.
‘What if they deliberately performed sorcery to summon me…’
So, I might have been summoned to this world.
‘In that case, is the culprit from the Blood Guild?’
Once I made this assumption, many suspicious circumstances came to mind.
‘Come to think of it, they already knew that I am a writer.’
And they even said they could send me back.
‘If the Blood Guild has truly mastered summoning, it’s chilling.’
Thinking about Blood Guild and Hemjug Hyuk, I turned pale. Grandfather asked with a frown.
“Do you happen to know anything about the culprit?”
“Oh, no.”
“Well, back then, you were just a child.”
‘…’
Actually, there is a place I suspect.
It felt like stabbing my heart to tell a lie. But it was difficult to speak the truth.
‘How do I tell them that I am actually the author of this novel and was summoned because of it?’
It’s said that your daughter died because of me.
Unable to act like this or like that, on the verge of tears, Grandfather interpreted it differently and patted my shoulder.
“Don’t make such a face. Thanks to you, didn’t you find your mother? I am satisfied with just that.”
“Grandfather.”
It’s not because of such things that my expression is distorted. I bit my lips.
After talking with Grandfather, when I came outside, I let out a deep sigh.
‘Looks like the unfortunate fate doesn’t just break away from the Blood Guild.’
Well, even though Danmokbi, Jegalmin, and Nangunglyeo brought the survivors and me back, they didn’t completely destroy the Blood Guild headquarters, and Hemjung Hyuk was still alive. Surely, somewhere, they are still scheming evil deeds.
‘Then what should I do?’
Initially, it felt uncomfortable that Hemjung Hyuk became such a bad person because of me. But now?
If he continues to do bad things, can I still protect him?
‘I really don’t know.’
Thinking about it in various ways, I couldn’t find an answer, so I let out a deep sigh. It was right at that moment. A voice I hadn’t heard in a long time called me.
“Why are you like that?”
“Jiho.”
It was Jegal Jiho, who had become my closest friend at Jegalsega.
Although his hairstyle had changed after marriage, his face, with a playful smile, remained the same.
Approaching with a bright face, Jiho hugged me tightly with both arms.
“I heard the story. You were kidnapped by the Blood Guild, and it could have been a big problem.”
Jiho heard too. I looked at Jiho and smiled faintly.
“I was surprised. But now, I’m fine.”
“Weren’t you supposed to master the final move? I thought you could have easily escaped. But the Blood Guild’s abilities seem to be remarkable beyond my imagination.”
“Yeah, I was surprised too.”
Even now, I couldn’t figure out how to open those iron chains that didn’t budge even with orders.
‘I should definitely know how to open it in case I meet them again.’
Making a groaning sound, I shook my head. Although there were many complicated thoughts, in front of Jiho, whom I met after a long time, I didn’t have much to say.
“Why is there no difference! Even when it’s night, your beloved doesn’t go to their room!”
