Danmokbi’s words were correct. There was no way to restrain Baekho in this world. Perhaps that was why Danmokbi attempted to capture Baekho with wicked magic.
However, there existed chains in this world that even Baekho couldn’t shatter. Once, they had struggled at my ankles; it would be foolish not to consider that in this situation.
“There are chains made of perennial iron. They didn’t break even with my power. If Baekho were bound with those, it wouldn’t be easy for him to escape.”
“Tsk.”
Danmokbi clicked his tongue, but he nodded as if acknowledging the possibility of perennial iron chains. Then, he suddenly tapped my shoulder and asked,
“So, were you considering that you might have to go out as a price to release Baekho if Hyeoljung Hyeok comes looking for him?”
“Ugh. H-how did you know?”
It felt like he was reading my thoughts openly. Startled by his accurate guess, I let out a deep sigh. Then, he spoke to me like to a child.
“Yeon-ah, you know there’s more than one person who would shed tears if you left, right?”
“W-well, I know.”
“Yeon-ah.”
He just called my name, yet I tightly shut my mouth. Even if I thought about it, going out to Hyeoljung Hyeok for the sake of saving Baekho was not a feasible option.
Danmokbi spoke calmly.
“Trust me. I’ll rescue Baekho.”
“……Yes.”
I nodded.
“He’s targeting you. You must never go out. You understand that, right?”
“I understand.”
Even though I gave my answer, Danmokbi repeated,
“For me, you are the only one. Don’t forget that.”
It was a weighty addition echoing in my heart.
Jegal Jiho boasted that he was closest to Jegal Yeon. Therefore, the current situation in the organization targeting Jegal Yeon was truly frustrating.
‘Just when I was finally trying to be happy, what is this lightning strike?’
Even when Jegal Sae was present, the wistful look on Jegal Yeon’s face always bothered Jiho.
‘Finally free from that miserable face.’
Seeing Jegal Yeon’s warm gaze towards Danmokbi, Jiho felt relieved. It made him happy that the child who could show affection was free.
But, a cult! Suddenly, the cult leader was targeting Jegal Yeon!
‘Moreover, he must be an undoubtedly troublesome man! Watching him break Grandfather’s techniques and scheme to enter Jegal Sae, it’s obvious!’
If he genuinely admired that woman, he should have properly visited the family and sought their permission. Why resort to kidnapping-like actions?
Although he had jokingly tossed a comment to Jegal Yeon about her popularity, once he returned home, Jiho was furious.
“Listen, Rangrang! Yeon hasn’t changed a bit.”
Jegal Jiho’s husband, who had been waiting quietly in the room for Jiho, chuckled.
“Why would Yeon change?”
The temperament initiated by Hyeoljung Hyeok eventually led to the slow progress in the romance between Danmokbi and Jegal Yeon. If they had held hands and had a wedding quickly, there wouldn’t have been any interference from the cult.
“But even with the prince in front of her, Yeon is acting like a young girl.”
Since the two always appeared composed in front of others, it wasn’t entirely wrong for Jiho to feel frustrated. Jiho complained to her husband, hitting her chest.
“She’s still slow in her work, and her feelings are dull. If she wants something, she should boldly reach out and grab it. Who would recognize her if she stays quiet?”
Jiho’s husband replied with a sincere smile.
“That’s just her personality, and we can’t do anything about it.”
“It’s frustrating to me. Probably, if we both fell into the water, she would even give the plank I was holding to me and drift away.”
Jiho knew that best. Jegal Yeon, who would feed even a stranger with hearty stew, and Jegal Yeon, who would quickly eat a meal served cold.
“How did she become such a foolishly kind child.”
With pursed lips, Jiho sighed deeply. Her husband chuckled, giving her shoulder a comforting pat.
“Still, wouldn’t it be nice if our child were like Yeon?”
“…Well, it would be nice not to have to worry about her.”
How beautiful it would be to have a good and gentle daughter.
Even Jiho, who had been complaining about Yeon, ended up smiling faintly and giving such an answer.
It was precisely at that moment.
“Do you really think that way?”
A voice, stiff, heavy, and yet strangely warm, echoed in Jiho’s ears.
Jiho reflexively gasped, grabbed her husband’s hand, and turned around.
Through the open window, a handsome man was smiling, revealing his fangs. On his handsome face, with a high nose and thick eyebrows, were distinct facial features.
“I think I can grant that wish.”
Smiling brightly, a sense of danger flashed in Jiho’s mind. Instinctively, she knew.
That man was dangerous.
‘Even if I don’t ask who he is, I already know who he is.’
The mysterious man who desires Jegal Yeon. The leader of the cult, Hyeoljung Hyeok.
A commotion erupted outside a moment too late.
“The bars are torn!”
“Intruder!”
“Intruder!!”
But it was already too late. Hyeoljung Hyeok had come to Jiho’s room, and the intruders found themselves inside, led by Jegal Sae.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
