Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Special Side Story Episode 11

“Sojeo.”

“Please speak. “Unrang (郞).”

A window with sunlight streaming down.

Sitting across the table from Dang Seo-yeon, I hesitated, unable to open my mouth easily.

I thought I had made up my mind, but the words didn’t come out as well as I thought.

‘after.’

As I was about to bring up the story, my back became stiff.

I felt more nervous now than before the final battle with the Demon Cultist.

“Take this.”

“This?”

“A ruin that was attacked after driving out the demonic cultists. “It is one of the gems found there.”

“Why are you giving this to me? Regarding the distribution of the secured relics…”

“If we have those items, Sojeo’s concerns can be resolved.”

“yes?”

“I received an appraisal from Sima Xiaoxiao. “I found out what it was used for.”

Tang Seo-yeon looked surprised.

It seemed like he couldn’t easily believe what I was saying, but at the same time he couldn’t hide his anticipation.

“If you possess it, even if you are poisonous, you can have children.”

“Really?”

“of course. “Do you really think I would play tricks on you by touching Sojeo’s sensitive parts without even realizing it?”

I relayed the story I heard from Simaun to Tang Seo-yeon.

An object that guarantees the survival of its owner, allowing it to survive no matter what dangerous environment it is exposed to.

The conversation I had recently when I had drinks with my teacher was repeated exactly as it was.

Originally, she wanted to tell her earlier, but she was late in delivering the news because she went to the Tang family while Sima Yun was appraising the relics brought from the West.

“However, if you want to use it to protect the fetus rather than the holder, the gem must be handled in a slightly special way. “He said he needed some training.”

Although he gave warnings, it didn’t seem to reach Tang Seo-yeon’s ears.

After all, how important is that?

I finally got what I had been longing for.

“……”

Tang Seo-yeon remained silent for a while, just fiddling with the jewel she had received.

It was a similar yet different reaction from my teacher.

A face that clearly reveals a complex state of mind filled with mixed emotions.

I waited for a moment for her to gather her emotions.

“thank you.”

“There is no need to be grateful. “Isn’t it the result of our hard work together?”

“The reason I went all the way to the chief in the first place….”

“As I said before, it wasn’t just for Sojeo.”

These were not empty words.

I gained a lot through this trip.

The martial arts skills of Cheonleimun could be safely passed on to future generations, and personal doubts, although slight, were resolved.

‘Planting the seeds of internal strife in the Demonic Cult is also an income that cannot be ignored.’

One thing I regret is that I couldn’t figure out why the demons tried to get their hands on the jewel.

If I had known this would happen, I would have held at least one person prisoner and obtained information.

‘Anyway, if that’s the case, there might be several female soloists in the party in the future.’

A single woman cannot have children.

To be exact, you shouldn’t have children.

Because the poison is transmitted to the fetus, it causes the terrible experience of stillbirth.

Therefore, among the blood relatives of the Tang family, the majority of those who became Germans were men.

Even so, isn’t this a family that would bring in a son-in-law to ensure succession through blood relatives?

When a direct blood relative like Tang Seo-yeon decided to become a German, it was only natural for those around her to voice opposition.

But what if that jewel is delivered to the Tang family?

As the risk of stillbirth disappeared, new possibilities might be presented.

Those who had exceptional talent for martial arts but were deprived of opportunities because they were women might be able to freely learn their family’s martial arts.

‘Enough of my random thoughts.’

After taking a deep breath.

I finally got to the point.

“There is something I want to say to you.”

“Are you saying that’s what you want to say…?”

“At this time, I want to strengthen my relationship with the women around me.”

Tang Seo-yeon’s eyes became sharp.

The relaxed atmosphere from just a moment ago suddenly disappeared.

A cold silence fell and engulfed the entire room.

“What does that mean?”

“I mean it literally. “I thought we couldn’t continue our current lukewarm relationship forever.”

There was no way she didn’t know what I was talking about.

I could tell just by looking at the glances she occasionally exchanged with Cheon Ga-ryeong.

She probably noticed it before I did.

The favor of women toward me.

“So what answer do you want to hear from me?”

“If you wish, I will end all relationships with them.”

“If we don’t object, will we all accept it?”

“yes.”

“Does my answer make sense?”

Tang Seo-yeon smiled bitterly.

She also knew.

The complex interests that are intertwined around me.

How big of an impact will the answer you give here and now have?

“The conclusion has been decided anyway.”

“Nothing is set in stone.”

“For example, the younger brother, the princess, and the deputy military officer. Each and every person is very important to Unrang. Breaking the relationship with them by using personal feelings…”

“What I want to ask now is your doctor’s opinion. “Please tell me your true feelings without considering anything else.”

I meant it sincerely.

If Tang Seo-yeon wanted to end her relationships with other women, I would do so.

Even if my relationship with Hao Wen becomes estranged.

Even if the residents of Yunnan protest against my decision and spit out abusive language.

Even if the link with the Maengju faction created by Dok Go-seong is completely severed.

Everyone was willing to take it.

Because she is my fiancé.

Because he is more special to me than anyone else, as he helped me regain the humanity I had lost in my past life.

“……”

Tang Seo-yeon didn’t say anything for a while.

They just stare at me with eyes that I can’t read.

After a period of silence that seemed to last forever,

“I…”

Her mouth finally opened.

* * *

‘I’m still not good at this.’

Tang Seo-yeon laughed inwardly.

I knew it in my head.

That this day will come someday.

[I have already won his heart, so I will be generous and give you a chance as well. What is that?]

[I’ll nail it down for sure. I will achieve the future I want with my own hands. I don’t need my sister’s consideration in that process.]

It was a time when I was thinking about the problems of being a female single person.

The memory of hurting my beloved younger brother came to mind because of my wrong judgment.

I knew about women who had special feelings for Yeonsun.

Those who were not simply drawn to Yeonsoon’s power and status, but were drawn to him after observing him for a long time.

But I tried my best to pretend not to know.

Because I was afraid that my current relationship would break down.

It wasn’t just about his relationship with his lover, Yeonsun.

The precious relationships I made while going through the hardships of life and death as a strongman.

I was extremely afraid of it collapsing.

‘These are not empty words. He will definitely keep his word.’

The Yeonsun he knew was that kind of man.

Of course, he was never a just person who always carried out his promises.

He was a person who would not hesitate to stab others in the back if it was beneficial.

‘but.’

At least to those who are within their own enclosure.

He was also a person who always kept the promises he made to those around him.

Therefore, it was not easy to come up with an answer.

Because he knows the weight that will be placed on each word he utters.

‘Foolish person.’

I couldn’t understand him leaving the easy path and going back to the difficult path.

If he had made up his mind to do so, it would not have been difficult to create a situation in which this side could never refuse.

Why is he bringing up this story at this time?

Why do they want to finish the work they had been putting off only after handing over Bo-ok and solving the problem of being a female German?

‘It’s obvious.’

Yeon-woon was a person who was extremely cunning and petty when necessary.

But why do they insist on attacking head-on only in times like these?

It would be better if there was only one choice.

It would have been easier if I had been in a situation where I had no choice but to reluctantly nod.

‘No, rather, that’s probably why you’re being forced to make a choice.’

Yeonsun was a person who valued relationships with people around him.

Because he is like that, he probably knows it better than anyone else.

A forced relationship cannot last long.

‘I know him just as Unlang knows me.’

Although he seemed to have left the choice up to him, he was never one to avoid responsibility.

It was clear that he intended to take on all the rest himself.

“I…”

It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have a desire to be exclusive.

Is there a woman in the world who would not want to have the man she loves completely to herself?

Not to mention that he was a blood relative of the Tang family.

‘but.’

Just as Yeonsun gave for himself, he also wanted to give for Yeonsun.

He didn’t want his endless desire for improvement to be broken because of him.

This too was undoubtedly sincere.

‘I don’t want to see him discouraged because of me.’

He was a person who valued the relationships he had with the people around him more than himself.

Ending a relationship with someone meant cutting out part of the driving force that had driven him throughout his life.

I wanted to prevent that much.

It should never have happened.

“are you okay.”

“……?”

“I guess it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have younger siblings. “It’s not right.”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course I’m serious.”

A soft smile appeared on Tang Seo-yeon’s lips.

A bright face in contrast to before, when all kinds of emotions appeared and disappeared repeatedly.

Perhaps it was because he had put an end to his long worries, but on the other hand, he seemed relieved.

Squeak.

She picked up the kettle on the corner of the table and poured tea into the empty cup.

“…….”

She put down the glass in front of Yeonsun and motioned for him to drink.

Yeonsun carefully picked it up and spoke in a calm voice.

“I’m sorry. Sozer.”

“You haven’t forgotten, right? “The bet still stands.”

Tang Seo-yeon’s eyes narrowed.

A voice overflowing with mischief.

Yeonsun calmly nodded and answered.

“Of course I’m saying this because I remember.”

[In that sense, this is a bet I propose. From now on, we will refrain from using the word sorry to each other.]

[The one who apologizes intentionally or accidentally loses. I will also place a condition that the loser must grant the winner one wish.]

[Of course, it is not a one-time bet. If you apologize ten times, your wish must be granted ten times.]

“Foot.”

Dang Seo-yeon bursts out laughing, unable to hold back.

The rigid atmosphere was relaxed and soft air surrounded the two people.

The conversation between the two men and women continued for a long time after that.

At the table, outside in the garden, and on the bed.
