I puffed out my cheeks and glanced at the white tiger, and the white tiger narrowed his eyes and murmured in a small voice.
The snack you made last time was very delicious…
Well, of course. I smiled broadly and nodded.
“You mean the chewy treat? Got it! I’ll make it for you.”
Hmm, it’s not that I’m listening because of that.
Our cat, no, our white tiger, acted haughtily but eventually fell into this servant’s lap. I stroked the white tiger’s round ears and grumbled.
“The young master suddenly wants to go north. Just the two of us! Why would he do that?”
Going on a trip alone with a boy in this era! Even though we are still children. No, but isn’t it strange for two children to set out on a long journey?
At my grumbling, the white tiger licked his front paws and mumbled.
…You work diligently, so why are you so dull in your own affairs?
“What is it?”
Dull! I’ve survived in this world for years just by being alert.
I puffed out my cheeks with an incredulous look, and the white tiger, licking his front paws, said,
Just think of it nicely. That child wants to travel with you too.
“Is that so?”
Traveling with Danmokbi! Suddenly thinking that way, the trip north felt ordinary again. Should I just think of it as a picnic with friends and relax!
He keeps grumbling about wanting to buy you clothes, and shoes. You must prepare yourself. You may have to carry a bundle when you return.
I burst into laughter at the white tiger’s words.
“Oh, the young master said so, but will we have time to shop?”
It’s not a leisure trip. At my answer, the white tiger jumped up from my lap and said,
If you’re going to answer like that, I’ll stop counseling.
“Aw, how grumpy you are!”
I tickled the white tiger’s neck again. Suddenly attacked in his weak spot, the white tiger groaned and lay back on my lap.
I gently brushed the white tiger’s fur and said,
“The trip. I’m looking forward to it.”
Are you? I’m just anxious. Don’t leave my side.
“Haha! What could happen? Got it, white tiger.”
I kissed the cute tiger on the head, lovingly.
Hey! I’m getting annoyed, so stop making close contact.
The white tiger grumbled and disappeared into the bushes. I laughed cheerfully.
[This is the time separator]The steward rushed to the lord’s office when he heard the lord was looking for him urgently.
The lord’s eyes were strangely flickering as he looked out the window at the sky. Like a sky that seemed about to pour rain.
The lord closed the window he was looking out and said,
“The second one says he wants to go north.”
“Oh, really good news.”
“That’s good news. His skills are real. He will win easily.”
Knowing how much the lord had been looking forward to Danmokbi winning this martial arts competition, the steward sincerely bowed and congratulated him.
But he couldn’t help but stiffen at the words that followed.
“The problem is that girl who follows my son around like a shadow.”
A girl following Danmokbi. The chief officer could not have failed to know who she was.
‘Yeona again.’
The chief officer slightly curled his lips. Danmokbi had tried to eliminate Yeona several times already. The chief officer had always obeyed Danmokbi in anything, but when it came to Yeona, he couldn’t readily nod in agreement.
Her only sin was taking pity on an abandoned prince and taking care of him wholeheartedly. But now to kill the girl because she was close to the prince?
But such logical reasoning didn’t go through to Danmokbi. Danmokbi spoke with a light tone, as if crushing a bug to death.
“This time, it’s planned to be handled. So, you should erase all traces of the girl from our estate.”
“But, but that.”
The momentarily hesitant chief officer bowed his head as he spoke.
“……If the young master finds out, he won’t stand still.”
Danmokbi’s thick eyebrows twitched at these words.
“So? How long should we watch that child’s mood? If that worthless thing ends up taking the lady’s place, it’ll be too late!”
“Yeona knows her place. Her relationship with the young master is like that of siblings, not one between man and woman.”
Danmokbi still had a few years until adulthood.
Just as not all childhood playmates become a couple, the relationship between the two would naturally change as they grew older, the chief officer thought. Even if it turned into a romantic relationship, they could separate or attach them then.
But the chief officer’s words did not go through to Danmokbi.
“Your tongue has gotten long, chief officer. It seems I could cut it a bit.”
“…….”
In the military command post, the chief officer bowed his head deeply.
Finally, as if satisfied by the silence, Danmokbi tapped his chin and muttered.
“Now is the opportunity to go to another region. The North is vast, and no one will be surprised if a girl like her disappears. My son may be in sorrow for a while, but what can he do about a child who’s already dead?”
To Danmokbi, Yeona was no different from a tiny bug. Danmokbi tightly clenched his fist, thinking of his soontoberealized ambition.
“Very soon now. The name of Danmok’s family will resound in the central region.”
The obsession with power clung stickily. The chief officer sighed and bowed his head.
‘It seems difficult to avoid this crisis this time. I’m sorry.’
