Chapter 451 – Flower of Evil (6)
The dark streets of the bullpen.
Uweeeeek – Vomit is running down the wall.
A man wearing a large jangsam stumbled while drunk.
Toward the man – someone approached.
It was a middle-aged man with a bushy beard.
Leaving behind the bastard, who stood out in many ways, he left the mansion alone and came here through subtle stealth.
“He disappeared.”
A drunken man turns his head at the words of the owner.
Completely covered in shadow, his face is not visible at all.
“The trail was lost at the brothel. I guess I’ll have to let the dog out.”
A deep voice comes from a drunk man.
“… Have we really joined hands with the flower of evil?”
The owner shook his head.
“I don’t know exactly. However, the possibility of that happening is strong. “I can’t believe that he hasn’t even met that woman yet.”
“I understand.”
The man who answered took out a silent flute from his front pocket.
There was no sign of being drunk anywhere.
He put the flute in his mouth and breathed in through his thin lips.
Peep-
The sound of the flute was very delicate and thin.
Nevertheless, it spreads far and wide.
The sound of dogs barking is getting louder all over the city…
In the gloomy darkness, the dogs hiding in the bushes – one by one, began to wander towards the gate of the bullpen.
With his yellow and red teeth exposed, he gives off a sinister look as if he is ready to bite something at any moment…
“W-what are those!”
“No, these bastards…! Hehe! Don’t go away…!”
“Ahhhhh…! Dog, dog bites people…! Wow! “
People waiting in line to be inspected were very frightened and tried to chase the dog away, but it was no use.
The skin of the stomach of the man swinging the pole was torn off, and as the man’s screams rang out, people filed out in all directions.
However, the dogs did not miss a single one of them.
He chewed up the calf of a merchant who was trying to run away from his carriage, and bit the back of the neck of a woman who had brought a hat she had knitted to buy bread for her newly weaned child.
The return of the father and son took place.
The guard, filled with astonishment, came out with a spear and started swinging and stabbing at it, but they were dogs with demonic energy.
No matter how hard I pierced it, all I could get was a few scratches on the thick leather.
As the soldiers were bitten by the dogs one by one, the guard commander, who was sweating, screamed.
“Fuck, the castle gate…! “Close the gates…!”
“Colon! “There are people who haven’t come in yet!”
Just then, the moon cleared the clouds and revealed its bald head.
As the bright moonlight poured down, the sight of dogs coming down the snow-covered mountain ridge like a torrent of dogs was engraved on their retinas.
“Everyone, shut up and close it quickly! There are too many of them! “If they all come through the gates… The city is over!”
At those words, soldier Cernut grabbed the pulley to close the castle gate, but a bolt flew from somewhere and pierced through the soldiers’ necks in a line.
Kwasik-!
I could feel its power just by looking at its tail quivering as it was stuck in the bricks of the castle wall.
“Holy shit! Close the gate first, you bastards! From the castle gate…! Hehe…!”
The bolt flew out – this time it got stuck in the mouth of the talkative guard captain.
He suddenly fell down, and the screaming gradually stopped.
Soon, a group of dogs rushed in like a tidal wave through the wide open gate, barking and barking.
The man who fired the crossbow jumped out of the bushes, holding down his wide-brimmed hat.
“Pirili- The dogs are whistling. A song of blood and flesh-.”
The face of the man humming his song looked very happy.
“`
My body is shaking, and dogs are barking in the distance.
You can hear the sound of horses’ hooves stepping on gravel and wheels brushing against the bushes.
The driver deftly flicked the reins, and felt the stallion slowly retreat beyond his eyelashes.
“···I think I’ll be okay.”
“Mother, there are wild dogs everywhere. Don’t you know very well that they are always targeting you? Please let me at least stay by your side.”
It was a conversation between Andalote and Nivera.
She pretends to sleep quietly, and Seojun tries to hear more, but Nivera notices her like a ghost and speaks.
“Hey, I know everything happened, so why don’t you open your eyes.”
Sensitivity is good, bitch…
When I slowly opened my eyes, I was inside a carriage.
Except for a small window, the inside was narrow and dark.
Seojun’s eyes stopped as he looked around at his son-in-law for a moment.
Andalote took off the old man’s mask. Finally.
Black leaves like scum covered the white nape of the neck, reaching down to the waist – blue threads of veins were visible on the delicate skin.
Bright yellow eyes like moons are looking directly at Seojun.
It seems like he’s looking at me a little, but his eyes aren’t full of confidence yet.
Is that so…
Even if Seojun proves that he is Balthazar’s bloodline through the power of magic, even if he makes it look like he is truly her son.
Andal Lote probably didn’t fully believe it.
That means she is probably a woman, a mother.
However, what was the reason Seojun took the risk and took the test?
She couldn’t back down.
Now he had to push on, no matter the cost.
Considering the time and money I had spent, and even the coins – I could never give up.
Fortunately, in his mind she were the stories she had opened up about in her previous episode, the raw feelings she had for her mother her, which she had heard from her real son her, Shane.
Moreover, he also had a secret trick.
Something I’ve hidden all this time, but will take out at the crucial moment…
“Are you feeling okay?”
When Andalote asked that question, Seojun answered after washing his face
“It’s okay. However,···. “Where are you going this late at night?”
“We are heading to a safe house outside the city.”
“Why?”
Her eyes her point beyond the bars of the carriage.
Ah –
The sound of the dog barking was very loud.
When I opened the grate, I saw a large fire breaking out inside the high castle wall.
Even as the snow fell, the fire was growing in size, enough to burn down dozens of houses.
“That is…”
Nivera even answered.
“···There’s a bloody wind blowing in the bullpen. A wild dog might be able to handle the old Colossus alone, but the problem is those who run the dogs. “My mother was worried that you might get hurt, so she decided to take you to the safe house.”
Fuck – that guy who opened the store did this without any hesitation.
That meant that not only Ian but the entire group was in danger.
When Seojun acted as if he was going to kick down the carriage door and leave, Andalote stretched out her hand and grabbed his wrist.
“Your companions… The Golden Knights of the mansion will protect you. Your safety was more important than theirs right now. “I’m sorry.”
Nivera is seen clenching her fists at Andalote’s apology.
Seojun looked at her quietly for a moment and then leaned back against her.
A sigh of relief escapes Andalote’s mouth.
In fact, it was right to ask for it to be taken down right away.
There may be two purposes for them setting wild dogs in the bullpen.
One is Andalote, and the other is to eradicate Seojun, who is suspected of being a traitor.
Since they probably had no information about Andalote, there was a high probability that their first target would be the golden mansion where Seojun was staying.
Andalote must also have obtained information that their power was heading there.
So, they must have smuggled Seojun here.
“I have to go back. Please stop the carriage for a moment.”
“···That is impossible.”
“No. My companions are there. There is also a guy I consider like my own younger brother. At least, I can’t let him die, even if no one else knows.”
At Seojun’s words, Andalote closed her eyes tightly.
And then sigh. Afterward, he looks at Nivera, a tall woman sitting next to him.
“···I’ll be back.”
“Thank you, Nivera.”
“No.”
The carriage door opened, and in an instant, Nivera’s new model disappeared.
If it is the Nivera that Seojun knows, he will be able to protect the mansion.
Still, I had to go back.
I was definitely anxious. If Ian is lost, the 9th round will end in vain.
First, we have to persuade Andalote.
He wiped his face and closed his window again, letting the snow through.
The silence continued.
Neither of them spoke, so nothing could be heard except the occasional swing of the reins by the driver.
“Ugh…”
Was it because I couldn’t stand the suffocating silence? Or maybe it was just because I thought I had to say this.
She brushes the leaves of her hair to the back of her ear and then touches her lips.
“I’m sorry, I doubted you. But···. I know it must have hurt you, but… I still don’t know. Furthermore, I’m really sorry…”
The repeated apologies were sincere.
Seojun witnessed Andalote showing such emotions – this was the first time in the previous episode.
After all, she was not in a position to apologize.
She was a woman who stood alone and ruled under the shadow of the empire.
Her words were the solemn law of her bullpen, and she knew every grain of wheat that came into her bullpen, and every penny that fell into the bowl of the tramp on her street.
“It’s okay.”
Seojun shook his head.
There wasn’t a single shadow on his smiling face.
He rummaged through his front door and pulled out something.
This was the secret weapon.
This was the turning point when she let go of some of her doubts and felt sorry.
The day it rained.
The day Andal Lote hid her child in the bushes and ran away.
The leaves of her black hair were woven around her child’s fingers to bring him back.
When the black grass ring appeared in Seojun’s pocket, her bright yellow eyes widened infinitely.
Even her breathing stops and I can feel her eyes endlessly looking at the ring.
“I always kept it. There were times when she thought it smelled nostalgic and even tried to throw it away. But now that I see it, it looks quite similar to your hair.”
Seojun’s eyes turn to her.
She placed the full ring on her palm and muttered in a calm voice.
“I don’t hold any grudges. No matter what you ask of me, even if you wish for death… Isn’t this the life I gained thanks to you? I’ve dreamed of meeting you again someday. I remember what you said to me the day we broke up. Furthermore, I remember the kiss you left on my forehead that day, the feel of those lips and your scent. Furthermore, I haven’t forgotten. Furthermore, I had no intention of forgetting. Chuhodo.”
Her trembling eyes slowly turn from her full ring to Seojun.
Seojun held her full ring tightly and smiled lightly again.
“Therefore···. I dare. Just one thing I’ve wanted to say all along… Is it okay if I do that?”
She had no other answer.
Seojun lifted her body up from her back and gradually approached her as she stopped breathing.
And she took her in her arms.
He sighed softly and whispered in her ear.
“I love you, mother.”
And.
The lips of a child who had come back after ten years touched her forehead again.
