Chapter 289 – White Cow (2)
Twelve families with the right to elect the ‘first disciple’.
Among them, anyone who picks the weakest family White SnakeI will pull out the crest.
That’s why the Baeksa family was a uniquely weak family…
Even within the family, I, Baek So-so, was special.
As you can see from the surname Baek, I was born with black hair in a family of Baeksa, where everyone is born with white hair.
Just like the woman who led the Baeksa family down the path of downfall and banned the transmission of the ‘Kangsin’ from the 12 families.
“You must kill! You must kill me right now!!”
“…The patriarch. Please wait a moment. If it’s a child that needs to be killed anyway, wouldn’t it be better to help the family even a little?”
Originally, he would have been killed as a cursed child right after he was born, but should I say this was good luck or bad luck?
The day I was born was the day when each of the 12 families had to select a student candidate.
After experiencing a near extinction experience.
The Baeksa family never coveted the position of ‘first disciple’.
However, the reason for submitting a candidate is only because of Aslan’s rule that each of the 12 families must submit a candidate who is related to the family lineage.
My selection as a candidate meant that the Baeksa family would live quietly without paying any attention to the position of the “First disciple,” So that I would be satisfied with the life of Baek So-so.
“…Hungry.”
As a result, unlike candidates from other families who naturally receive thorough support from their families, I was raised without even getting proper food, let alone support.
“…Tomorrow… I hope I can eat my fill.”
Still, I tried.
Even if I’m treated as a cursed child now, with the expectation that if I produce satisfactory results, the family will accept me.
With no support from her family, she has survived time and time again with her innate talent and courage, even in a situation where she can’t even eat properly.
But…
“When the hell is that bitch going to come back? …Are you going to ruin the whole family!”
In the Baeksa family, only the hostility towards me, who could not be the ‘first disciple’ anyway, but made me stand out for nothing, only grew stronger.
“My lord… Lower your voice. Then someone will listen.”
“Tell me to listen! Is there anyone in the family who doesn’t know why we saved that black-haired bitch until now! Damn it! …What will you do if the Baeksa family loses sight of other families!”
Every time I heard the screams of the family head, I desperately covered my ears, ran to the corner of the barn, and apologized for my mistake.
“…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry I was born.”
***
The day my fantasy completely collapsed, I Purple catIt was when he defeated the family candidate.
‘Ah…Ahh…!!…This…Won! I won!’
It was only a friendly match, but I couldn’t control my joy at the first victory I had won.
Of course, I was hurt a lot and I won because of miraculous luck, but winning is winning.
“I did it!”
No one who watched the match would have expected that I would defeat the heir of the mother family, but I did it in the end!
I wanted to share this joy, so I dragged my injured body and went to the head of the house and said,
‘Go…Ga-lord…I won. I… Beat the candidate for my… Family.’
‘…Okay. Good job.’
Although it was short, it was the first praise from the head of household that I had heard in my life.
I could not believe that I had done well, and I felt that all the contempt and persecution I had received was comforted.
‘…G…Now!’
In the future, it will be necessary to change the perception of the family little by little in this way.
…I thought so.
***
Poo-! Poo-!
‘Ahh!! Go…!…God…! Ugh!!’
‘… Gear nose! Gear nose!! Are you planning on destroying the family!’
‘…Ah…It hurts…Patriarch…It hurts…!’
‘Hey…Hey!!! Something like an asshole! You should have died as soon as you were born! If you’ve raised me up until now, shouldn’t you be aware of it! Won? Nobody! No one in my family wanted you to win!’
After being beaten for a long time, I was dragged by the head of the family head and put my head down in front of my daughter’s head.
‘…Please…Please…Forgive me.’
‘Hmm.. Is there anything I can say to forgive? Well, rightfully won the duel… Tsk tsk. Our candidate was lacking.’
At first glance, it seems like a polite tone of voice. However, in his words, he clearly looked down on me.
‘That’s… It’s not that there aren’t enough candidates for Jamyo. This bitch confessed to using the Elixir of the White House in a duel.’
‘Huh… Really?’
…Not written.
In the first place, I couldn’t even learn the vision of the white family.
And even if you’ve learned it, it’s a duel where you can do everything except take your life.
What do you mean by using it?
It was like that from today’s duel.
Unlike me, who was holding a few long needles and an old dagger, didn’t the candidate of Ja-myo come wrapped around his body with a famous sword and magical tools?
‘It’s all my fault for educating the bastard… Oh, I’m self-proclaimed, and this is a bit weak… It’s my sincerity. So please, this time…’
‘Hmm… I see. I’ll just skip this time, seeing Baekgaju’s sincerity.’
‘Oh my! Thank you very much. Soso! What are you doing! Without saying thank you!’
Thank you?
What on earth do you have to be thankful for?
Did you force yourself to do something you didn’t even want to do?
Or the robbing of a barely won victory?
“…”
“Four years!! Can’t you tell me right now!!”
Jjaak-
As he slapped his cheek, the fishy smell of blood filled his mouth.
“Heh heh… Be sure to use baekgaju in moderation.”
“No! As the father of this bitch, I had to thoroughly educate myself! Hurry!! I can’t say thank you to the owner!!”
Squeak- squeak-
After being beaten over and over again until my face was completely swollen, I had no choice but to speak.
“…Now…I would like…To…Thank you…For your…Kind..Heart… Of Jaju.”
**
That night, ready to die, I headed for the lake on the back mountain of my family holding a dagger.
“…”
Arriving at the lake, I saw my face reflected on the surface.
Cursed black hair, a small and diminutive body, a bruised, swollen face that could hardly be seen as a woman.
“Ah…Ah…Aaaaa!”
The moment I saw it, I grew up and cried for the first time.
“Huhhhhh. Why eh eh..!! Why..!”
Why the hell was I born this way?
Didn’t ask for much
But is it such a big greed to want to live peacefully?
“.. Haha…”
The moment I tried to stab myself with a dagger after emptying my emotions with screams for such a long time.
“Please stop.”
A man appeared.
A man with dark hair like me.
However, unlike my hair, which was soaked with soup and sweat, the man’s was shining beautifully in the moonlight.
“…Who are you.?”
“My name is Eugene Calliope. Rather, how about putting down what you have in your hands?”
That buck─
As the man approached, I brought the dagger closer to my throat and said,
“…Go, don’t come any closer! If you come close, you will… Die.”
“You die even if you stay still, and you die even if you come close… This is difficult.”
After scratching his cheek for a while, he smiled softly as if he had remembered something and took something out of his arms.
“Looks like you’re very hungry…”
What the man took out was rice balls.
“Have you not heard that ghosts that die after eating are beautiful? If you’re going to die anyway, wouldn’t it be better to have a fine color?”
“I-I’ve never heard of that.”
“Ah… I didn’t know what to say here. I made a mistake…But are you really not going to eat it?”
“Of course I don’t eat…”
I tried to stop myself from eating, but when the smell of rice balls passed my nose, an unbearable hunger hit me.
“…Under.”
I laughed involuntarily, but it wasn’t even funny.
I was dumbfounded at myself being shaken by rice balls at best, even though I was about to die a moment ago.
—Growl
And once again the moment the stomach rumbles.
Unable to hold back, I rushed into the rice ball and bit it until my throat was full.
“…Eup..!…Uhhhhh..!
“Eat slowly. I would like to Now, water.”
It was only after I ate all the rice balls he gave me that I finally regained my sanity.
“…I ate well. Thank you.”
“I’m glad you liked it.”
I get angry when I see a man laughing without knowing my speed.
“But there is nothing I can do. As you can see, I have nothing… No money.”
“I didn’t ask for that. It is a great reward that you are not dead.”
“…Who doesn’t die? I ate, so I’m going to die now.”
Then the man reached out to me and said.
“Then… If you’re willing to throw away your life anyway, why don’t you entrust it to me?”
“…Leaving it to you…What difference does it make? After all, I am a person who is not needed by anyone. …I’d rather just die like this.”
“No. If you hold my hand, a lot will change.”
“Ha… It’s different? Then tell me. What makes a difference! Tell me!”
The man who slowly closed and opened his eyes at that question looked at me and declared.
“…I will make you the ‘First Disciple’. Baekso-nim.”
