I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 153

Episode 153 It Was You

Myunggyo Ilbong Gwangmyeonggung

“Usagi. What should we do about this now?”

The left-hand man, Lee Soon, fidgeted and pressed for an answer.

He was originally a timid person.

They couldn’t even sleep properly for fear that it would be revealed that they had participated in the assassination of the cult leader.

On the other hand, Usa Jangho-gun looked majestic.

“What are you so worried about? Nothing has been revealed. Reporter Cheon, you just have to tease him a little.”

“You saw it. The cult leader is angry. How can you not know that our lives could be in danger if this continues? I am afraid. He hasn’t come back for several days now, and I am worried that he might be looking into something else. It is driving me crazy.”

“Your Majesty. Why are you so frustrated? Do you think Gwangmyeong Palace will be safe if you drive us out when there are no soldiers? I have alternatives, so stop now and calm down.”

At the word alternative, the left-winger came closer and asked.

“An alternative? What is that?”

“The military has disappeared, and the movements of the palace and the elders are unusual. What if we try to blow this up a little? It will give the left-hander and I a reason to increase our power. Think about it. How long do you think the leader will move around like that? He will probably get tired and give up soon. So let’s not act rashly and increase our power to a level where they can’t be kicked out. Yes, how about calling it the New Envoy Corps?”

At Usa’s confident words, the Left-hander nodded with a slightly improved expression.

Anyway, now they’re the only ones left. After thinking about it for a while, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to gather some warriors and build up some power.

Yeah, that’ll work.

The left-hander consoled his frustrated feelings.

and.

The leader, Matthew Pyung, has returned.

*Even if Tae Kang-jun was alive, he would have greeted me with a smile as if it were nothing special, but the air in Gwangmyeongjeon is quite heavy.

“Your Majesty, the military and non-military factions that dealt with the religious affairs have disappeared… … The repercussions are by no means small. It is not easy to determine the authenticity of the documents that are coming up right now.”

As soon as he saw the left-hand man, Lee Soon let out a loud noise.

“The movements of the palace are also unusual. The Blood Palace is demanding a pass out of the blue, saying that they want to go out of town… … Shouldn’t we suspect that there might be another intention at this particular time?”

Usado was also furious. As he said, it was true that suspicious movements were being detected in the palace and the elders’ council one by one.

The advice from the left and right lions continued without pause. Each and every one of them was not light, but serious.

‘Why didn’t I know?’

But Ma Tae-pyeong sat on the throne, resting his chin on his hand, and remained silent with empty eyes.

“So… … .”

After the boring complaints, Usagi offered his final advice.

“We must quickly gather our forces at Gwangmyeong Palace. If you give us the order, we will contact the Seven Great Palaces and the Elder’s Council and dispatch warriors.”

It was a speech that had been waiting just for this moment.

Clearly, Matthew had no choice but to allow this.

But.

“haha!”

Contrary to expectations, Matthew burst into laughter.

The words are nice.

The idea is to further increase the power of Gwangmyeong Palace in order to keep the Seven Great Palaces and the Presbyterian Church in check.

but.

“The military was indeed great.”

“Yes? Yes… … . That’s right. Although he did plot a rebellion, the balance was somewhat maintained because of him… … ”

“How dare you turn them into such incompetent filth. Amazing.”

“Reverend… … ?”

Mataepyeong glanced coldly at his two aides.

The death of the soldier shattered the false image of the Gwangmyeongjeon to Mataepyeong.

The Usagi still had an expression of confusion. On the other hand, the Zusagi lowered his eyes like a dog with its tail tucked in.

He was a timid and quick-witted man. There was an ominous atmosphere. It was time to bow down.

Knock, knock. Matthew said, tapping the armrest.

“Without the military, the palace and the elders have different ideas… … . Yes, that could be possible. If the Ming sect doesn’t have that level of ambition, can they be called the leadership? But you know, Woo Sa.”

As Matae Ping snapped his fingers, the pressure was broken and a sharp wind shot out, splitting the space.

Wedge, slap!

“Ugh!”

Usa Jangho-gun screamed and grabbed my right shoulder, falling to his knees.

The arm was limp and one of the bones was completely shattered.

“Since when has Gwangmyeong Palace been afraid of such things as conspiracy?”

Thud. Right-hand man and left-hand man felt their hearts sink.

I forgot.

He is always carefree and playful, but he is capable of carrying a mountain on his shoulders.

It was not because the military was present that the palace and the presbytery were silent. It was because behind him was the unapproachable Matthew Ping.

What good is it if cunning tricks come pouring in? They will all burst like bubbles at the touch of a hand.

Matthew Ping stood up and continued speaking.

“Usa, Usa… … How did you end up like this? Are you old and senile, or are you just tired of that place?”

“Teacher, teacher… … .”

“Well, we’ve been together for a long time, so we’re both getting old, our toenails are getting dull, and our eyelids are starting to droop.”

“Cult Leader, how can you say that? Shin Woo-sa is not dead yet!”

“exactly?”

“yes!”

Matthew Ping’s eyes harden and become colder.

“Then… … Don’t disappoint me anymore and live quietly as if you’re dead, as if you don’t exist. Do you understand? Usagi.”

Despair is on Usagi’s face. It was an indiscriminate notice. It was a harsh punishment telling him not to interfere any further if he wanted to keep his seat.

However, unlike the Left Commander who kept his mouth shut, the Right Commander Jang Ho-gun could not fully accept this.

No matter how old he was, he was a master of the highest order of the religious order. He was the one who had been served by Matae Ping since the time he was the leader of the religious order.

“Please… … reconsider. These are too harsh words. The soldier is dead, and the Heavenly Demon Lord has left. If even I, the sect leader, leave his side, how can discipline be upheld? It will be too much for the Left Master to bear alone.”

Matthew nodded absentmindedly at Usagi’s earnest request.

Force can stop rebellion, but it cannot handle conflict.

Also, it’s true that we’re not on such a light footing that you can kick me out for saying something carelessly.

but.

‘Was it only the military’s intention?’

No way. It is highly likely that the Left and Right Lions were also involved.

“Usagi, do you really have to be dead and buried in a coffin to understand my will?”

“Teacher, teacher… … .”

“Then die.”

Bang! Matthew Ping’s fingertips snapped again. Then, a slow wave rippled.

It is a tremendous energy that can distort space with just air power.

Usagi’s pupils dilated, and soon a huge, fierce wind blew in like a ship crashing down on the ferry.

The momentum was on a whole different level from before.

Kwaaaaang-!

There was a loud noise against the back wall, and a large puddle was dug up.

But what was surprising was that it avoided the exact spot where the cow had been. Thanks to that, the shape of the cow with one hand covering its face remained in the spot where it had been cut off.

It’s not just the aerodynamics that are high, but the level of handling is also overwhelming.

“Reverend… … .”

Usagi’s pitiful cry rang out. But it was already too late.

Matthew Ping said.

“That’s it. Don’t make my memories of Usagi any uglier.”

“iced coffee…….”

Usagi’s despair leaked out of his mouth.

I see. You tried to harm the cult leader.

He closed his eyes tightly and spoke as if he was spitting out his final protest.

“Then… … what will the young sect leader do? If the fact that the vein is cut off becomes known, the princesses and elders will not stay still.”

“That sounds exactly like a threat.”

“Please listen without misunderstanding. I am simply stating the truth. It is impossible to kill them all. Also, if I am not there, who can take the place of the cult leader… … .”

“There is still one person left.”

“What is that… … .”

“The five light-minded people were originally five.”

“no way……?”

A look of shock appeared on the faces of the left and right lions, and then many sounds were heard outside the Gwangmyeongjeon Hall.

“Looks like you’re here at just the right time.”

Matthew Ping’s gaze turned to the door, and the lions on his left and right also turned around.

Squeak.

* * *

I stopped in front of the thousand steps, took a deep breath, and asked.

“What about me?”

“What else are you asking? I’m not a woman going to see her husband. Oh, really. You’re very nice, aren’t you?”

Dongbang nodded at his words and touched his clothes again.

He wore splendid attire like a successful scholar returning home in glory, and his hair was neatly tied up.

Chuck. As soon as I took a step up the stairs, Gwangmyeongcheonmadae and Dongbang came out to greet me and followed me.

It was ten years of living in anxiety.

They ranked ranks by the yardstick of martial arts and measured the level of need.

So I was born with everything, but I wasn’t given anything worth living for.

‘But in the end, you died by my hands.’

I know this isn’t the end. Maybe it’s the beginning of something better.

But I wanted to show myself confidently today. I didn’t want to look anxious.

I wanted to tell you that I came back alive, that I won.

I wanted to climb up those stairs and see your face.

As I reached the top of the stairs, the signboard for Gwangmyeong Palace finally came into view.

He stopped again and asked.

“Princess.”

“yes.”

“What about me?”

“Oh, right. Again!”

“Does it look good?”

“Yes, I love it so much I could die.”

Yes, I should be happy. I should be smiling. I should not be anxious anymore.

It must be so, but why do I keep feeling uneasy? Tae Kang-jun is dead.

I tore it up into small pieces and threw it to the fish as food.

The closer we get, the more the suffocation doesn’t go away.

“Why?”

Asking myself this question didn’t give me an answer. But fortunately, this dirty question didn’t last long.

Because I was able to realize it the moment I faced him.

“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”

An old man greets me in front of Gwangmyeong Palace.

The last member of the Gwangmyeong Five-Way Order and the person in charge of Cheonma Library.

“cotton…….”

He laughed heartily.

And then I realized.

Who was the real cause of the sense of discomfort I had felt until now?

Now I understand.

It was you.

The ghost was right. There is something in Cheonsan that even I don’t know about.

Around him, thousands of ghostly azaleas swarmed in all directions.

They were like the eyes of a living watcher, constantly searching for something.

But when I entered his surroundings, I felt lost and wandered around.

“It looks like you saw something.”

Anonymous said.

I turned my head to face him, click click. An uncontrollable fear seeped into me, like a rat falling into a snake’s den.

You… … what are you?

“The young sect leader is truly an amazing person.”

What? I wanted to ask, but my mouth wouldn’t open. A chill ran down my spine, and I wished this time would pass quickly.

“Let’s come inside together. The leader is waiting.”

So I entered the palace like a dog being dragged by a leash in his hand.

*I thought.

Anonymous… … He clearly belonged to the Gwangmyeong Owi, but unlike the others, he was someone whose face was hard to even see.

Sometimes, all I encountered was a person who came down the thousand steps.

Until now, I had no feelings whatsoever when I saw him.

An old man who lives in his own world, nothing more, nothing less.

But why?

Does anyone else in the world feel more dangerous than me right now?

Is this also the price for using the power of evil spirits?

“What is the body of the cult leader like?”

“The pulse has not completely disappeared, but fortunately, it has returned to its former state, albeit slightly.”

“Thank you for bringing me here. I will give you a reward at the Poison Palace. You may take your leave now.”

“Yes, Master.”

When I looked to the side, I saw Dongbang nodding at me and then stepping back.

Where are you going? Don’t go.

I keep checking on him, but I can’t get what I want.

“cotton.”

Father continued speaking again.

“Yes, Master.”

“Please take care of the little cult leader.”

“Don’t worry. We will do our best to find a solution while you are staying at Cheonmaseogo.”

“Thank you.”

What the hell is this! Why should I be in Cheonma Library?

I looked at my father with resentful eyes, Chuck. An anonymous, wrinkled hand came up to my shoulder.

I clench my teeth and slowly turn my head. An eerie feeling spreads through my body.

If there is a natural enemy, is it like this?

Everything felt helpless, like when I was first born and faced the world.

I lowered my head again with empty eyes.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

I didn’t come here to show myself like this.

His eyes shook with despair.

Must be informed.

Interest is dangerous.

That’s how it should be… …but that doesn’t work.

“You’re probably not fully recovered yet, but it seems like you’ve been too tired to come here. There will be many days left, so let’s stop here.”

The nameless words made me feel as if the world was falling apart.

“That could be the case. Starting tomorrow, stay at Cheonma Library.”

“ah…….”

I couldn’t say the words I wanted to say in the end… …as if thorns were poking out.

‘Ah… … Father… … . Please don’t abandon me anymore.’
