Chapter 291 – {IF Side Story: Original Heroines}
{IF Side Story: Original Heroines}
What Yuchun Group emphasized in its requirements related to Ye Eun-chae’s engagement was not to embellish too much.
Ye Eun-chae was asked to come dressed in the simple blouse and hot pants she usually likes.
Thanks to this, Ye Eun-chae was able to escape the crisis of being decorated as diversely and extravagantly as a doll play.
Although she was now a girl of an age where she was reaching puberty, she hated her extravagant and intricate make-up.
She liked swords, and she liked outfits that made it easy to move around.
Of course, she also had an aesthetic sense, but her appearance stood out even in her own eyes.
Her mother, Kim Hyo-seon, was also a great beauty, but Ye Eun-chae was showing what the term Gyeonggukjisaek means at just 14 years old.
Therefore, even if she only wore a simple blouse, T-shirt, or hot pants, she looked so good as if the outfit had been made just for her, putting her age to shame and further emphasizing her charm as a female swordsman.
However, because of her excessively beautiful appearance, she was unable to engage in public activities. The Ye family, who recognized the potential of her beauty from a very young age, tried to hide her as much as possible until she entered the Academy.
Meanwhile, the purpose was to look into her liver and find a good candidate for an arranged marriage.
But she was also exceptionally talented with her sword.
In the Ye family, her sword skills were even better than her older brother and successor to the Ye family, Ye Han.
[That’s great!]
[Such talent! I’m proud!]
All the elders in the family, including her parents, were delighted to see her talent.
‘It’s still not enough, it’s a shame… ‘
Eunchae Ye enjoyed holding her sword and seeing how she got stronger the more she trained. Thanks to her being able to move freely to some extent, she devoted herself to training to become even stronger.
Unlike before, where all of her actions were restricted, she was allowed more freedom in that she could train freely, roam around her mansion, and occasionally even experience dungeons.
And the taste of her expanded freedom was sweet.
Normal children would have resented the family for confining them like this, but Ye Eun-chae, who was good-natured, thought differently.
‘I’m happy that I learned the sword, became stronger, and gained freedom. However, many people would not have been happy because they did not have this power.’
Seomun Cheon, her successor to the Seomun family line and one year older than her, was also said to have had her awakening and gained her powers only in her last year.
And before her awakening, she said, she was not treated well even within the Seomun family, and in fact, she was looked down upon and ignored a lot. Ye Eun-chae thought that was very unreasonable.
Even though we are the same people, some are awakened and others are not awakened, so they are discriminated against.
However, it was impossible to simply eliminate her discrimination, considering that the differences in abilities due to whether or not she was awakened were so great that they could not be considered the same human being.
That’s why Yeunchae came to her own conclusion at her young age.
She herself is talented. Then?
‘With this power, she will become a hero. Then she will be able to make more people happy.’
People killed or injured by monsters.
Villains who harm innocent people even though they are the same person.
He promised himself that he would become stronger and become a hero so that there would be fewer such people.
‘I hope that Seo Moon-cheon, he will understand my feelings… ‘
Ye Eun-chae was curious as to how Cheon would accept the fact that he had such thoughts, as he knew the sorrow of being a secret saint.
She made it easy for her future fiancé to wear whatever outfit he wanted so that he wouldn’t have to dress up for nothing.
It would be false if she didn’t feel fear and nervousness, but at the same time, she was also looking forward to meeting him.
“Eunchae, let’s go quickly.”
“Yes, Mom.”
And the place that Yucheon Group asked to visit was the private facility of Yucheon Group, not the Seomun family. There, she promised to have a meeting with Seo Mun-cheon, and from the Yu-cheon group, only Kim Hyo-seon other than Ye Eun-chae was allowed to come.
As the hostess of the Ye family, she did not seem to be offended by Yuchun Group’s one-sided notice.
‘Everyone looks happy.’
Ye Eun-chae also knew very well that there was an atmosphere of excitement within the Ye family, saying, “You’re joining the successor of the Yuchun Group!” She was happy that she had sold herself to the person who would get the highest price.
But Ye Eun Chae was not upset about it, nor was she angry. She was strange, but I was lucky that she wasn’t sold.
‘As expected, you won’t hold her hand…? ‘
Ye Eun-chae walked behind Kim Hyo-seon, feeling a little glum as she did not hold her hand but instead walked ahead of her.
Unlike other people, Ye-eun-chae had never experienced holding her mother’s hand and walking outside, but she secretly hoped that she would hold her hand just for today.
But it seemed like the expectations were too high.
And then the two saw the person who came to meet them from Yucheon Group.
“My name is Levia. Please take care of me.”
The beauty with dark blue hair, showing off her voluptuous body, politely bowed to Ye Eunchae. A muttering sound could be heard from the other members of the Ye family who were watching her.
“Levia, President of Yucheon Artifact!”
“They say he’s an incredibly strong person.”
She said, “I heard that she is from the secluded people of the Kingdom of Riverin.”
“A huge person has arrived. Does that mean Eunchae is that important?”
Based on the evaluations of the Ye family, it seemed clear that Ye Eun-chae was truly a great person. If she was Yucheon Artifact, then of course she had heard of it, and if she was the boss there, she was truly a very high-ranking person.
“Hello.”
Eunchae Ye greeted politely. Then Levia smiled slightly and said.
“You don’t have to say that. Ye Eun-chae will be one of the hostesses of the Yucheon Group. You can call me that at your convenience.”
The people of the Ye family seemed somewhat moved by those words.
Her mother, Kim Hyo-seon, and Ye Eun-chae’s father, Ye Woo-jin, the head of the family, also looked satisfied.
“Then I will attend to you two.”
“Yes, please take care of me.”
Kim Hyo-seon naturally handed Levia the undercarriage. She told Ye Eun-chae that she could call her whatever she felt comfortable with, so she thought that she, as her mother, could naturally call her her mom as well.
Then Levia’s gaze became subtle.
“The only person I have given permission to is Ye Eun-chae… Kim Hyo-seon. I will assume it is okay with you and move on. However, I warn you that people other than Ye Eun-chae and Kim Hyo-seon should not treat me poorly.”
A terrifying sense of intimidation emanated from around Levia.
“Oh, I see.”
Yewoojin, overwhelmed by the momentum, nodded her head with a slightly pale face. Because her momentum eluded her, Ye Enchae could not experience it directly, but when she saw that everyone in the Ye family turned pale after experiencing the intimidation that Levia exuded, she felt that her skills were truly incredible.
‘You’re really strong. ‘Can I become that strong?’
As Ye Eun-chae was thinking such things, a portal appeared in front of her.
“Then I will attend to you two.”
Kim Hyo-seon, who, like herself, was an exception to Levia’s momentum by taking the lead and entering the portal, spoke with a calm expression, although she was a little embarrassed.
“Let’s go, Eunchae.”
“Yes, Mom.”
He felt that Levia was giving him special treatment.
* * *
Kim Hyo-seon was satisfied with the current situation.
It seemed that the Yucheon Group was trying to block interference from the Ye family by communicating with only one person to prevent the Ye family from acting as their masters.
And the communication channel chosen by Yuchun Group was himself.
In other words, from now on, the Ye family can only interact with the Yucheon Group through themselves.
In a word, her power within the Ye family was tilted towards her. She had originally had a significant say as she had married into the Ye family as a hostess and an arranged marriage, but now her power would surpass even that of her husband and head of the family, Ye Woo-jin.
Kim Hyo-seon, who wanted to develop the Ye family on her own initiative, had high expectations and hoped that her daughter Ye Eun-chae would receive the favor of Seo Mun-cheon, the successor to the Yucheon Group for a long time.

‘Is this this place?’
Yeunchae entered the building that was her private residence through her portal and felt that it was mostly empty.
It wasn’t that there were no people at all, but the quiet felt as if the place had been deliberately emptied of people.
“I was waiting.”
And Ye Eun-chae was able to see Seo Moon-cheon, who would become her fiancé. As she had heard, he was a very handsome boy with black hair.
He was said to be one year older than her, and it was said that he already had real power over her in the Seomun family.
But beyond all that, Ye Eun-chae was curious about a person named Seo Moon-cheon.
Her anticipation was blooming within her that perhaps he would be her first friend as well.
“Thank you, Oppa Cheon. My name is Ye Eun-chae.”
“Well, we’re one year older than each other, so you can just call me comfortably. There’s no need to use the honorific.”
