I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 3

Episode 3: Yayul Tak

Despite his young age, he has an evil gaze and the corners of his mouth are turned up. Anyone who sees him can tell at a glance that he is a magician.

Night market.

You are the only one who has visited me repeatedly for three days.

If we were to define him, we could say he was a bodyguard belonging to the Somyeong Palace and a close friend of Ma Cheon So.

To sum up, the only family members in this large palace are me and Yaryutak.

“Oh, and you called my name too. Do you remember me now? I was bored when you came back and there was no MacAri. Isn’t it because I lack energy? Haha. Should I hold on to Kiru?”

Birds of a feather flock together. How could they be so shallow? He clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense… … . My memory isn’t completely there yet, so let me ask you a few questions.”

Yaryul-tak didn’t answer, but came up to me barefoot and placed his hand on my forehead.

“What are you doing?”

“What’s strange? The way you speak is just like… …the political bastards.”

“gibberish!”

By any chance… … did you notice?

Sweat dripped down my spine. Should I kill this guy and get out of here? Or… .

Just as his worries deepened, he spoke again.

“Kuuuuu. I’m joking, I’m joking. You’re surprised… … . Are you into scholars these days? You used to be into punks. Well, I’m busy, but if the leader of the small group orders me to, I have to follow. Come in.”

I can confidently say that the original Ma Cheon So was more than you could ever imagine.

“A busy person sleeps in broad daylight? Wipe off your spit before you speak.”

“Haha, are you curious? So, what are you so curious about today? Thank you for coming all the way here.”

It’s right in front of my nose, so what’s the matter with Wangrim? I clicked my tongue and entered his annex. Unlike the original, Yaryultak’s room was rather neat. In particular, it was surprising that there were so many orchids, which are said to be difficult to raise.

“Are you raising me?”

As I carefully stroked the fully bloomed flower petals, old memories settled in comfortably.

“Why? Are you trying to tease me again? Hey, hey! Don’t touch that… … .”

“The leaves are thin, soft, and curved, and they are reminiscent of mountains and rivers. They have a good fragrance.”

“yes……?”

Whenever I felt angry, I would tend to the orchid and trim it.

When I smelled the strong scent after a long time, a smile naturally came to my face.

“Really… … Are you the little cult leader? Have you come to the upper hall to receive the Juhwa?”

He asked with eyes full of distrust.

There is definitely a need to change the tone.

“Originally, I… … What did I say in this situation?”

“Usually… … .”

Yul-Tak seemed to be thinking deeply, then frowned and revealed the whites of his eyes as he shouted:

“Hey, you stinky tofu bastard. Say that again. I’ll cut off your three-inch tongue with a five-penny piece.”

“… … .”

Ma Cheon-so Lee Ja had a speech impediment.

It would be a good idea to think about your tone little by little.

“Why do you look at me like that? No, well. It’s true that the leader of the cult was particularly harsh… … Isn’t it natural for a magician to curse?”

“ha…….”

Calling yourself a magician? I’m so embarrassed I can’t even talk to you.

But this is also something I have to adjust to. I have to endure it and endure it again.

It is truly regrettable.

“More than that… … .”

As I looked around, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

Has Lee Ja been guarding Somyeonggung alone while the Sogyoju is practicing closed-door training?

“Why are you still here?”

“What is that… … .”

Yul-tak mumbled like an embarrassed young bride.

Could it be… … that it is their own sense of justice and loyalty?

“Hehehe. Where is a more convenient place to eat and play than here? Even if you go into the Seven Great Palaces, it’s called martial arts training and you have to gather at every temple, so it’s going to be hard. And that’s all? There’s always something to do, like conquering the Central Plains or something… … When you’re next to the Young Master, you’ll get a lot of green onions. Even if you go out, it’s just a barn or a gambling house. How convenient is that? I want to live comfortably.”

Well then, that’s right. He was born a general and is truly a stubborn person.

I took a shallow breath, sat down in the high-backed chair, and got to the point.

“Stop talking nonsense. Tell me how the famous school is formed.”

“Ha, you really don’t remember that either? That’s serious.”

It’s truly disgusting to see him shaking his head and glancing at me.

“Give me the answer.”

“The Seven Secret Palaces of the Two Myungs. The Myunggyo is made up of a total of nine palaces. The topmost palace is the Gwangmyeong Palace where the leader resides, and the Somyeong Palace where the lesser leader resides.”

I nodded slightly.

“Then the Seven Great Palaces must be the force that supports them.”

“Yes, that’s right. But right now… … they are also the ones who pose the greatest threat to the Gwangmyeong Palace.”

Yul-tak sat on the bed with a very serious expression and even crossed his arms to set the mood.

It’s not that cool.

“Why?”

“Why? Because the leader is no longer here. Where did he go? That’s why there’s so much talk these days about picking the next leader. You arrogant brats.”

It is said that the leader of the Demonic Cult, Ma Tae-pyeong, disappeared about two years ago, leaving behind only a personal letter telling people not to come back.

With the tigers gone, it was natural that wolves would try to become kings of the mountains.

“Even so, there must be a sub-religious leader?”

Still, there are questions.

No matter how incompetent he may be, isn’t he still a minor cult leader? It doesn’t make sense to discuss the leader’s position without mentioning him.

“Are you talking about someone else right now?”

I forgot for a moment.

“Please continue your story.”

“Who would consider the Little Leader as the next leader? His martial arts skills are weak, his brain is not that great, and his behavior is also ugly. Other than that, he is not worth looking at. Heh! Even I wouldn’t vote for him. If you make a leader of a dog or a cow, is that a good religion? It’s a dog religion.”

It’s certainly not wrong. But… … why do I feel so nauseous? Is it just my imagination crushing tofu in a mortar and pestle?

“You’re talking so loudly in front of me.”

Let’s take a quick look. Yaryul Tak was startled and waved his hands.

“Ha, haha… … . That’s what they say in the world, I mean. Of course I’m the eternal loyal follower of the young sect leader, right? Of course.”

I would rather believe the words of repentance from the political party.

“But… … Didn’t you lose your martial arts skills, Master? They say that if you fail to learn the Heavenly Demon Art, you lose everything… … . Your complexion is good?”

He tilted his head and changed the subject.

“Isn’t that what you want?”

Of course, it’s not worth answering.

“Oh, of course not! It’s just… … no.”

Yul-tak scratched his head with a suspicious look and then smiled like an idiot again.

‘A word is worth a thousand gold. Although I have taken him as my master, I cannot abuse his martial arts skills.’

A heavy weight of determination weighed on my shoulders.

Yul-tak noticed the awkward atmosphere and immediately changed his stance and asked this.

“Do you know how many family members belong to Myunggyo?”

“Well… … . But wouldn’t it be thousands?”

The warriors of the Murim Alliance and the Sado League. If you consider their family members, I think it would be around that number.

But.

“f*ck. Thousands? Listen carefully. The number of Ming sect members spread throughout the Central Plains, including the laymen, is probably in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions.”

“Does that make sense?”

“That makes sense. That’s why the Emperor is so strange. Have you seen what he says about the Murim Alliance or the Sadoyeon? But he only singles out the Ming sect and openly calls it an evil sect.”

When I heard it, it was like that.

No emperor ever regarded the factions of the Central Plains as enemies and oppressed them on a national level.

Even so, millions? At this level, isn’t it no different from small countries like Seoha or Daeri?

If so, this goes beyond a simple armed group… … .

“Could it be that the Seven Grand Palaces are also taking on administrative roles like the Three Ministries and Six Departments?!”

“omg…….”

Yul-Tak looks on with his mouth wide open.

My thoughts seemed to be correct.

The Seven Great Palaces may be a great force that cannot be compared to a single sect.

Then the question remains.

“But why is it so quiet? You said that it’s been over two years since the leader… disappeared. Then wouldn’t there have been plenty of time for a rebellion to break out by now?”

Yul-tak’s expression was strangely distorted.

Then he sighed and answered.

“Of course, I didn’t stay still. But the Seven Great Palaces are not all the same… … and there are many more laymen who do not belong. Above them is the Presbyterian Church.”

“The Lee Myung Palace, the Seven Great Palaces, and the Presbyterian Church are keeping each other in check. They share the authority to decide the next leader.”

“That’s right! So, the situation became even more mysterious when the official successor, the Young Leader, suddenly appeared right at the moment when we were waiting for the Mingyo Great Heavenly Festival held once every two years.”

“I guess so.”

Now I understand.

There were many people in the Demonic Cult who wanted to become the King of the Mountain. That’s why it’s peaceful now.

Because they check and restrict each other.

However, this is a dangerous tightrope walk. If you lean even a little further, the battlefield will become a whirlwind.

So what’s next…?

All arrows may point to the center.

“But… …Why are there only the two of us in Somyeonggung? What about the other family members?”

“There used to be more. The leader kicked them all out.”

“I?”

“Yes. They kicked me out because I’m ugly. They kicked me out because I’m skinny. What more can I say? Right now, even if I beg them to come, they won’t come.”

Yeah.

Ma Cheon-so is truly a helpless person.

Anyway, now I know a little about the Demonic Cult. What’s left is the Murim Alliance…

Gulp.

A deep hunger stirred involuntarily.

Then Yul-tak smiled sinisterly and spoke.

“Hehe. I told you to eat some. Let’s go first. Shouldn’t you eat something? Let’s go to Myeongchunru (明春樓)! There, Sannibaekyuk slaughters pigs alive, boils them, and makes soup. Wow! It really melts in your mouth. It melts.”

Gulp. Just hearing it makes my mouth water.

As I was always trying to follow my father’s advice to be frugal, I could count on one hand the number of times I ate proper food.

But it’s Sannibaekyuk.

My reason began to crumble away little by little.

“Do you think that’s all? Take a bite of the okmi-gang, made by boiling corn from Hanam with beaten egg and boiling it until it’s savory, and your five internal organs will melt in your mouth!”

“Go. If you want it so badly, I’ll go. But only this once.”

“Hehe. Are you being foolish? Okay. Go ahead!”

Yul-tak got up and started walking ahead.

My steps also became lighter.

But then he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with an embarrassed expression.

“Ah… … Now that I think about it, Myeongchunru won’t do. Let’s just have a simple meal somewhere else.”

“why?!”

I was moved. There was no reason.

But Yul-Tak frowned as if he was really having a hard time and answered.

“The regular meeting of the Myungyo Second World is being held there today. It would be better not to go there.”

His expression was sincere.

To put it simply, it means that there is a gathering of children from successful families… … .

Are you worried about being ignored by the crowd? But that’s okay. I wasn’t taught to back down from injustice and bigotry.

I am the son of Jeongdo, the son of the leader of the martial arts world… … .

Gulp.

“Then it’s better.”

“Yes? It’s going well.”

“Now that the closing ceremony is over, it’s only right to say hello. Since you’re children of noble families, it would be even better if you were of similar age.”

“Huh?”

“What are you so surprised about? Take the lead.”

“Ugh… … !”

Sigh. Seeing you being so surprised, I can tell you have an innocent side.

I stood up from my seat and opened the door with a creak. Bright sunlight streamed through the hallway and reached me.

Think briefly. Act quickly.

If you can’t get out, there’s only one answer.

Change it or get rid of it.

I am not a magician but a person of the right way, just like a quantum mind.

A breeze is blowing.

Her long hair was fluttering.

She said to him with a smile.

“Is there anything else besides Sannibaekyuk?”

“Oh, there is. There is. Oh, I don’t know. Let’s go! Let’s go!”

Yul-tak looked at him with a blank expression and then left the annex in a dazed manner.
