I Became the Young Wife of the Martial Arts Novel’s Male Lead

Episode 45

* * *

It was an early morning with dazzling sunlight.

Mu Gong-ju, who went to the training ground early in the morning to supervise the training of his students, discovered something unexpected.

“Those people… … .”

Yerin and Doyul, dressed in plain clothes, were walking busily.

Mu Gong-ju approached the two people with a curious face.

“Where are you both going?”

“Your wife said she wants to inspect Behai City, so we’re going out together.”

Doyul quickly answered in a proud tone.

Then, Mukongju quietly followed the two people.

“Wouldn’t it be inconvenient in many ways for you two to go out alone?”

“yes?”

“I think it would be a good idea for me to go with you.”

… … Isn’t this like a grandfather trying to punish his grandchildren?

Yerin quickly shook her head.

“It’s okay, I can’t interfere with you supervising the training of your disciples.”

“B-but… … .”

“We’ll go there by ourselves.”

In the end, Mukongju drooped his shoulders sullenly.

“… … “Yes.”

He looked like a grandfather who had been rejected by his grandchildren, so I felt a little sorry.

‘It’s too much to go with the palace lord as an escort when you’re going to go stealth at best.’

Are you taking them all the way to Mukongju?

‘That’s not it.’

Yerin made up her mind.

“Then we’ll go first. Let’s go, palace lord.”

But then.

Gyulryulwonju quietly intervened.

“They say I have to watch the training of my disciples day and night, but my schedule is empty this morning.”

No, this person?

Mu Gong-ju opened his eyes.

Be that as it may, Gyulgyulwonju desperately expressed the fact that he was free.

“I don’t feel comfortable leaving just the two of you, so I’ll go with you.”

“Thank you for your offer, but I will decline it.”

Yerin gently but firmly shook her head.

“The Lord of Discipline only has a schedule for the morning, but he has a schedule for the afternoon.”

“No, that’s…” … .”

“Shouldn’t you meet the leaders of Seolgeomdae?”

At those words, Gyulwonju flinched and stiffened his shoulders.

Yerin hit the nail with a smile.

“The palace lord is with us, and above all, the security in Beihai Province is excellent compared to Sichuan Province. “It won’t be dangerous.”

Gyulwonju closed his mouth in dissatisfaction.

With Yerin talking like that, it was embarrassing to insist that she would follow suit.

“I’ll be back before the sun sets.”

Mukong-ju and Gyul-won-ju could not take their eyes off the back of the two people as they walked away.

I can’t tell you how sad that face looks.

and.

“Eh, tsk.”

Master Mu Gong-won seemed to have regained his appetite, and then turned to look at the great disciple who was standing next to him.

“Go and tell the disciples.”

“What should I tell you?”

“From now on, swing the wooden sword five hundred times.”

“yes?”

The great disciple looked at Lord Wu Gongwon in confusion.

“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

Gyulgyulwonju added one more word.

“Will it be five hundred times? “You have to do it a thousand times!”

“That is a correct point. “When I check later, I will also tell you that anyone whose posture is disturbed will be added a hundred more times.”

No, why are you suddenly taking out your anger on us?!

Unable to protest like that, the great disciple stared at the two monks with an aggrieved expression, as if he had been stabbed in the back of the head.

Then Mu Gong-ju got angry.

“Oh, why don’t you go now?!”

“Go, go!”

The great disciple was frightened and rushed out.

* * *

The two escaped out of Behai Province.

The first place the two headed to was the area where private houses were gathered.

Perhaps because it was lunch time soon, white smoke from cooking rice could be seen rising from the rooftops.

In a sunny area, children with rosy cheeks were sitting in a huddle.

They played with pebbles and ran around laughing and making fun of each other.

“Guys, we need to eat lunch!”

At that moment, a woman came out of the house and found the children.

“Mom!”

“Did you call us?”

The children threw away the pebble and ran out.

“What is for lunch today?”

“I want to eat something delicious.”

He grabs the hem of his wife’s skirt and chats away.

“…….”

Yerin looked at the scene blankly.

In the past, when she was Seol-ryeon.

I devoted my whole life to building the Beihai Castle, and the sight I wanted to see the most was right in front of me.

This is how ordinary people live in peace.

And when I see this, I can’t help it.

‘Sejin.’

It makes me reminisce about Sejin.

A precious disciple who became the lord of the Beihai Ice Palace in obedience to her wishes and devoted his entire life to the Beihai Castle.

Starting with that sacrifice, Beihai Castle could have become so stable.

‘therefore.’

Yerin clenched her fists.

‘Even Doyul, the disciple’s descendant, is somehow happy…’ … .’

But then.

“… … person.”

“…….”

“ma’am!”

Yerin suddenly came to her senses at the sound of a voice calling me and turned to Doyul.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Yerin quickly shook her head.

I can’t say that I was reminiscing about the old days when I was Baek Seol-ryeon.

Then Doyul narrowed his eyebrows.

“You said it was nothing, but it seems to me that you were thinking a lot.”

“Ahaha… … .”

Yerin smiled awkwardly.

And in Doyul’s experience, he had never heard a proper answer when Yerin appeared like that.

Doyul sighed deeply.

“Now we’re going out to the streets. “There are a lot of people, so be careful not to get lost.”

Then, he gently holds Yerin’s wrist.

Yerin’s face suddenly looked astonished.

“More than that, my palace lord, this can’t be right.”

Yerin shook the wrist that was being held by Doyul a couple of times.

“Are you holding me like this because you’re afraid I might get lost?”

“sure. “I’m your wife’s escort today.”

Doyul smiled mischievously.

‘This isn’t an escort, it’s like a father taking care of his child… … .’

Yerin pouted like a duck.

But that doesn’t mean I’m doing enough to tell you to let go of this hand.

‘Because Doyul cares about me in his own way.’

Meanwhile.

‘huh?’

Suddenly feeling a sense of discomfort, Yerin turned around.

All I could see were children playing, and the scenery as far as I could see was peaceful.

Doyul tilted his head.

“Why are you doing that?”

“hmm… … .”

Yerin, who was looking at the children with a strange expression, shook her head.

“no.”

Something kept getting on my nerves, but I couldn’t pinpoint where it was.

Yerin headed toward the street with Doyul in a confused mood.

* * *

After that.

Yerin and Doyul arrived at Jeojat Street.

Despite the cold weather, the busy streets were crowded with people.

The cafeteria was full of people, and street vendors were also setting up here and there.

“There are so many people.”

Yerin was once again filled with emotion and said this to herself.

But this time Doyul didn’t answer.

‘huh?’

Yerin narrowed her eyes and looked back at Doyul.

Doyul was busy looking around.

But something was a little strange.

The forehead is deeply wrinkled, and the gaze looking around is serious.

It’s like he’s suspicious of something… … .

“… … Lord of the palace?”

“ah.”

Only then did Doyul come to his senses and look at Yerin.

“Why are you doing this?”

“that… … “Something feels a little strange.”

Doyul, who was licking his lips, soon shook his head.

“I guess I was sensitive.”

“is that so?”

Doyul nodded wordlessly.

Why isn’t that the case?

It’s clear that something is bothering me, but I feel like I can’t figure out exactly what that ‘disturbance’ is.

That was exactly the kind of feeling Doyul was feeling right now.

‘But it might have seemed a bit foolish from the wife’s point of view… … .’

Isn’t this like a child completely captivated by a scenery they see for the first time?

Doyul hastily added an excuse.

“Um, so. “It’s my first time being out on the street like this.”

“aha.”

“I haven’t had the time to go out in stealth so far… … That’s why it is like that.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

… … It seems like the more excuses I make, the brighter my wife’s smile becomes.

Am I mistaken?

Doyul couldn’t hide his embarrassed face.

‘Oh, that’s right.’

Looking at Doyul like that, Yerin suddenly came to realization.

‘Even though he looked like this, he was a master from a noble family, right?’

Actually, it was natural.

10 years ago, wasn’t the previous palace lord killed by a blood cult?

This means that Doyul rose to the position of palace lord when he was only five years old.

It is said that the Wonju members did their best to support Doyul, but even that must have its limits.

Aren’t you still working even while you are sleeping?

‘Furthermore, the workload given to the palace lord itself is murderous.’

Yerin, who was thinking back to her days as a palace lord, trembled her shoulders.

Seolryeon, the founder of the North Sea Ice Palace, was able to travel abroad as he pleased.

That stubborn and responsible young princess wouldn’t have even had the time to go outside.

I heard that your first outing was when you went to the central plains for the wedding with Yerin?

‘Actually, back when I was a snow girl.’

Yerin lightly shrugged her shoulders.

‘Because once I tried to go out, I had to listen to a lot of nagging.’

Se-jin, who was nagging me with his eyes wide open, was still clearly visible before my eyes.

‘My lord, you didn’t say you were going on a trip abroad, did you?’

‘Palace Lord, have you checked all the ledgers? ‘The numbers here and here don’t match?’

Lord of the palace, Lord of the palace, Lord of the palace… … !

Yerin let out a groan without even realizing it.

“Ugh.”

“ma’am?”

Doyul, who was absorbed in looking around, quickly looked back at Yerin.
