Episode 32
This was because Tang Ye-jun suddenly jumped out and grabbed my younger sister’s wrist.
“Even if you are a matriarch, you think you would dare to behave like that to the head of the Tang family and get away with it?!”
That scolding was the beginning.
Yejun acted as if he was going to eat Yerin at any moment.
“Please let go of this.”
Yerin struggled to shake off her brother’s hand.
However, Yejun showed no signs of backing down.
“Do you think your father would stay quiet even though he knew you were acting like this?!”
… … Now, what?
At that moment, a bright blue spark flew up into Doyul’s eyes.
Danggaju, Dangsocheol.
Yerin, who had been abused by the Tang family for a long time, showed an unusual fear of her father.
‘But how dare you.’
In anger at being treated, Doyul clenched his molars.
‘Are you using the head of the family to threaten your wife?’
After that, I came to my senses.
“What are you doing now?”
Do-yul found himself glaring at Dang Ye-jun as if he were going to kill him.
Yerin opened her eyes wide and looked back at Doyul.
“Gu, palace lord?”
Doyul took a step forward.
Even though I knew that I was half-reasoning, I couldn’t control my emotions.
“Inside the North Sea Ice Palace, you are threatening the matriarch of the North Sea Ice Palace.”
“Well, it’s not like that… … !”
Yejun hurriedly tried to come up with an excuse.
‘shit.’
Doyul also knew in his head.
The Sacheondangmun is a prestigious family that ranks among the five major families.
Even if he lost a match with the small head of such a family, it would not be of any benefit to the North Sea Ice Palace.
but.
“Seeing you behaving so rudely, I think I know how the leader of the Tang family views the Beihai Ice Palace.”
… … Still, I was unbearably angry.
‘ma’am.’
When I took Yerin out of Sacheondangmun, I made a firm promise.
At the North Sea Ice Palace, I will make you smile comfortably.
I will make sure you are respected as the matriarch.
I won’t let anyone treat Yerin carelessly.
however… … .
“Ah, I feel sorry for the palace lord.”
Yejun is smiling softly.
And Yerin, frozen in front of Yejun.
The vivid contrast was so heartbreaking.
Also, I was angry.
“My younger sister was very rude to my brother, so I scolded him a few words and then raised my voice.”
“… … “Are you scolding me?”
“yes. But, isn’t that something that can happen between brother and sister?”
Yejun asked Doyul back in a relaxed tone.
“Anyway, it’s like the Beihai Province is living off of the Tang family’s food… … “We can just move on on good terms with each other.”
Isn’t it?
As he asked that question, Yejun burst into laughter.
‘As long as there is Seolucho, Sacheondangmun can no longer stand above the North Sea Ice Palace.’
It has been a long time since the family leader’s new request had already flown out of Yejun’s mind.
That’s because Sacheondangmun had been controlling the North Sea Ice Palace for too long.
The sense of superiority he had for a long time remained like inertia, making Yejun unable to make rational decisions.
Doyul, who was staring at Yejun, answered coldly.
“Well, it’s different now.”
“… … “It’s different?”
“yes. “Now we have sullucho.”
Tang Ye-jun’s face stiffened as he was stabbed in the painful spot.
“From Sichuan Province to Behai Province, you came a long way to get Xulucho.”
Doyul tilted his head crookedly.
“Judging by your actions, it seems that Seolucho doesn’t have much of a desire to do business with you?”
Oops.
Only then did Yejun feel the blood rushing out from under his feet.
My father asked me to do this several times.
Until you obtain Seolucho, never go against the wishes of the North Sea Ice Palace!
“I am… … “I mean.”
Yejun panicked and tried to speak.
“Is there anything else you want to say here?”
However, Doyul had no intention of listening to that excuse any further.
“As the palace lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, I personally witnessed a situation where the matriarch of the North Sea Ice Palace was being threatened by the So Family Lord.”
“Well, just listen to me for a moment… … .”
“no. “I don’t want to pollute my ears with such nonsense.”
As Doyul drew a line like a knife, Yejun’s face became stained with shame.
“Choose your choice, Sojiazhu.”
“Oh, no! “Palace lord!”
“Are you going to turn this into a family feud, or are you going to quietly retreat like this?”
Yejun felt it instinctively.
Doyul was truly prepared to fight with the Four Heavenly Dangmun.
‘no.’
This was an important time as Seolucho’s deal was at stake.
If there was a problem here, it would be like crossing the water forever.
Above all, if Doyul, the owner of the palace, declares that ‘there may be no Seolucho transaction’… … .
‘If you keep acting like that, we’ll cut off our food trade!!’
The cry rose to the top of his throat, but Yejun tried to suppress it.
If the Seolucho deal goes awry due to a moment’s divergence, Dang So-cheol will really try to kill Ye-jun.
“… … “I will just leave.”
In order to achieve something big, you have to know how to step away sometimes.
‘It’s enough for that disrespectful palace lord to show him a hot taste after completing the transaction.’
In the end, Yejun gritted his teeth but bit himself.
However, Doyul didn’t even look at Yejun’s back as he walked away.
Instead, Doyul looked back at Yerin with a face full of worry.
“Are you okay?”
“yes I’m okay.”
Yerin quickly nodded.
Because it was really okay.
However, upon hearing that answer, Doyul suddenly looked pitiful and stroked Yerin’s cheek.
“Your wife says it’s okay this time too.”
“yes?”
“Even though your face is so stiff… … .”
Oh, that’s it.
I did it because I was thinking about whether or not I should beat up Dang Ye-jun… … .
It seems that Doyul is in a serious misunderstanding.
Yerin became a little embarrassed.
‘… … More than that.’
Yerin glanced up and looked at Doyul’s shoulder.
Pure white snow was piled on my shoulders.
‘What are you going to do if that guy catches a cold like that?’
Of course, I know that Doyul, as the lord of the palace, has a high level of martial arts skills, so he has a very healthy constitution.
‘Still, it’s annoying.’
Yerin picked up the umbrella that had fallen on the floor.
I took a step closer to Doyul.
“Palace lord, more than that.”
“yes?”
At that moment, a red shadow appeared over Doyul’s head.
Yerin raised her heel and tilted the umbrella to put it on Doyul.
“It’s snowing like this, and you came here without even holding an umbrella?”
“Well, I’m okay… … .”
“I’m not okay.”
Yerin glanced at Doyul without being hateful.
“What if the person who is the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace is getting hit in the eye?”
“Are you worried about me?”
Doyul, who was feeling playful, asked mischievously.
OK.
“You are saying the obvious.”
Yerin looked sour as if she was saying something obvious.
“Who else would I care about if not my husband?”
“… … .”
At that moment, Doyul felt speechless.
husband.
That word, which was nothing special, felt like it was stuck in my heart again.
“More than that, my lord, what are you doing here?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
I came to see my wife.
The answer that I would normally have answered casually was strangely stuck in my mouth and couldn’t come out.
Doyul quietly averted his gaze for no reason.
“… … “I heard that the camellias were in full bloom.”
“Camellia?”
“yes. So, I decided to look at the flowers and go for a walk… … .”
The words spoken out loud were lame excuses even for Doyul himself.
because… … .
“Well, I understand that camellias are also blooming in the palace lord’s residence?”
At Yerin’s words that hit the nail on the head, Doyul closed his eyes tightly.
Yerin, who was looking up at Doyul, soon bent her eyes into a half-moon shape.
“You can just say you came because you missed me.”
“… … .”
As soon as I heard that, my face lit up.
This feeling is both embarrassing and tickling, as if the truth I had been trying so hard to hide has been revealed.
Doyul pretended like nothing was wrong and extended his hand to Yerin.
“Give me the umbrella, I will carry it.”
“yes? No, you don’t need to… … .”
However, Doyul had no choice but to take the umbrella from Yerin’s hand.
After that, he tilted the umbrella over Yerin’s head and said that.
“You can’t keep walking around on your heels, can you?”
“… … .”
Look at that guy making fun of me for being short!
Yerin lit up her eyes.
“Palace, aren’t you having too much fun making fun of me these days?”
“Is that so? “I don’t know.”
Doyul lifted his hour hand.
Yerin couldn’t hide her shocked expression.
And then.
“But, ma’am.”
A soft voice rang out.
Yerin’s eyes widened at the sound that was different from usual.
A maid who is looked down upon by the Four Heavenly Order, who is like an enemy, and the partner of an arranged marriage forced upon her.
We haven’t lived together as a couple for a long time.
I just thought that the sight of a little girl struggling to survive somehow was strangely eye-catching… … .
‘I suddenly couldn’t imagine life without that kid.’
My mind was already so preoccupied.
therefore.
“Wouldn’t this be fair?”
