Seo-yu remembered Ga-ram’s words about the two being twins.

Both had identical appearances to the Golden Dragon Family Head and even shared the same surname, so there was no doubt.

“Then who are you?”

Both their gazes turned to Seo-yu again. Seo-yu bowed her head politely.

“Hello, my name is Seo-yu.”

“Seo-yu? Who’s that?”

Yi-ryeong tilted her head.

Seo-yu was at a loss for words and hesitated.

‘The Family Head’s guest?’

That was the first thought that came to mind, but it was difficult to say out loud.

Seo-yu knew best that those were just considerate words the Golden Dragon Family Head had said for her sake.

Seo-yu was not a guest of the Golden Dragon Family. She couldn’t possibly be such a precious existence.

Just as Yi-ryeong’s eyes, raised sharply, began to narrow.

Li-gon’s eyes widened as he pointed at the top of Seo-yu’s head.

“Wow! Yi-ryeong, she only has one horn!”

“What are you talking about, Hwang Li-gon, you idiot. That can’t be… it’s really true?”

Yi-ryeong’s eyes, which had been scoffing, also widened.

The two children approached Seo-yu and asked.

“Why do you only have one horn?”

“Where did the other one go? Did it break?”

As the Golden Dragon twins, who were easily a span taller, quickly closed the distance, Seo-yu unconsciously stepped backward.

‘Brother! Look at her horn. It’s really strange.’

‘It really is. Why does she still only have one horn? And it looks like it stopped growing halfway.’

‘Right. Hey, why is your horn shaped like that?’

Seo-yu was crushed by fear as bad memories suddenly surfaced. Her already pale face turned deathly white.

Yi-ryeong struck her palm with her fist in admiration.

“Wow, having one horn. That’s so cool, isn’t it?”

“Right? It looks really strong. Are you good at fighting?”

Li-gon nodded in agreement and asked Seo-yu again.

‘Fi-fighting?’

Why would they ask about that? I can’t do anything like that…

While the flustered Seo-yu could only move her lips wordlessly, Yi-ryeong answered seriously.

“She probably can’t fight. How could she fight being so small? If someone hit her, that person would be the bad one.”

“That’s true. Mom said not to bully weak people.”

“Right. Dad said Mom is always right about everything.”

Seo-yu, who had suddenly become a small and weak person, rolled her eyes around. She wanted to deny it, but it wasn’t exactly wrong either.

More than that, she couldn’t believe the twins’ reaction.

‘They said my horn is cool…’

When she was with the Great Antlered Deer Family, everyone had always spoken ill of her horn.

Not a single person had ever said it was cool. No, there wasn’t anyone who spoke positively about her horn at all.

‘Could it really be true?’

It couldn’t be, she knew it couldn’t be.

Even so, as her heart pounded rapidly, Seo-yu placed both hands on her chest.

Yi-ryeong, who had been staring intently at Seo-yu’s horn, muttered to herself.

“But since the horn is in the center, it looks kind of cool. If I had one more, would I look like this too?”

Swoosh—

Yi-ryeong turned her gaze to Li-gon and suddenly reached out one hand.

“Hwang Li-gon, give me your horn.”

Suddenly, a crisis of losing one horn had arrived.

Naturally, Li-gon refused.

“Hey! Hwang Yi-ryeong is always asking me! This time give me yours!”

“But then I wouldn’t have three!”

“I want to have three too!”

The eyes of the two who had been bickering turned toward Seo-yu.

Flinch!

‘My, my horn won’t work. I only have one…’

Seo-yu, who had gotten scared in advance, quickly covered her horn with both hands. Then Yi-ryeong frowned.

“We don’t take the last remaining one. What do you think we are, thieves?”

“We brave Golden Dragons don’t do such things.”

Li-gon also huffed. Seo-yu, realizing it was a misunderstanding, quickly apologized.

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about.”

“Right. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Yi-ryeong and Li-gon spoke in turn. Seo-yu, who had expected to be scolded, felt greatly relieved.

However, the crisis continued.

Yi-ryeong, who had been staring at the horn, quietly approached and asked while covering her mouth with one hand.

“But who were you fighting with when your horn fell off?”

“Yeah, just tell us secretly. We won’t tell anyone. Really.”

Not to be outdone, Li-gon also covered his mouth with the opposite hand and asked the same thing.

She couldn’t understand why they kept bringing up fighting, but Yi-ryeong and Li-gon looked very serious.

It was then that Ga-ram’s voice was heard.

“Miss Seo-yu, Master Hyeon-ya is making a House Call… Oh my, Miss! Young masters!”

“Ga-ram! We’re here!”

“It’s Ga-ram!”

Ga-ram looked back and forth between the two children and Seo-yu.

Seeing Seo-yu looking troubled, Ga-ram instantly figured out what had happened.

“You two did greet the family head before coming, right?”

“No? We were going to tell uncle about mom first.”

“But where did uncle go?”

“Lord Hyeon-ya went out to tend to a patient. More importantly, shouldn’t you hurry and go see the Family Head? He must be waiting eagerly for you two to arrive.”

When Ga-ram skillfully guided them to go outside, the twins were completely hooked.

“Right! We have to go see dad.”

“One Horn, we’re going! See you again!”

Yi-ryeong and Li-gon waved their hands vigorously and quickly ran out.

Seo-yu blankly placed her hand on her horn. Naturally, she still had only one horn.

‘One Horn.’

A unicorn deer.

In the Great Antlered Deer Family, it was a phrase used to mock Seo-yu, but somehow hearing it from those two didn’t feel bad.

How strange. She heard the same words, yet the feeling could be so different.

‘Is it because they said it was cool?’

They said it looked strong, that they wanted to imitate it too.

All of it was something she had never heard in her entire life.

Seo-yu couldn’t escape for a long time from the afterglow of that intense first meeting, as if a typhoon had swept through.

Swoosh!

When Hyeon-rang lightly swung his sword, the irregularly positioned training straw dummies were cut down in succession.

Yet the path where his sword passed maintained remarkably consistent height and trajectory. It was thanks to his exceptionally outstanding swordsmanship.

The greatest swordsman of the current era.

Anyone who saw Hyeon-rang’s sword would spare no such praise, but those who knew him even a little would say this:

‘The Golden Dragon Family Head uses a sword solely to prevent unnecessary killing.’

They would say.

And that was the truth.

Winged Dragons were a race stronger than any other creature existing in this world, and Hyeon-rang was the strongest among them.

However, Hyeon-rang was neither conceited nor satisfied in the slightest.

‘What meaning does it have anyway?’

He was a pathetic man who couldn’t even properly protect the one he loved.

‘Bi-yeon, you were right. Killing is so easy, yet why is protecting so incredibly difficult?’

It was when Hyeon-rang was self-deprecating with a gloomy expression. Hwan-wol’s voice came from behind.

“Family Head, have you come? As expected, you were at the training ground. You should be resting after returning from the battlefield.”

Hyeon-rang, who had already noticed his arrival, turned to look at his aide nonchalantly.

“What is it?”

“Miss Yi-ryeong and Young Master Li-gon have just returned.”

Hyeon-rang immediately asked back.

“What about Li-han?”

“It seems it will take several more days for him to return. He briefly left the Dragon Palace to gather medicinal materials. It appears he received the news late because of that.”

Hwang Hyeon-rang unconsciously swallowed a sigh and nodded his head.

“Yes… I understand. The children?”

“They are in the office.”

“Let’s go right away.”

Hwang Hyeon-rang left the training ground with Hwan-wol. As he walked, a certain child suddenly came to mind.

“That child, Seo-yu—how is she? Is she doing well?”

“Actually, I was going to tell you about Miss Seo-yu…”

The sound of footsteps running up from behind made Hwan-wol stop speaking.

The twins couldn’t wait and had come out to greet him.

“Father!”

“Daddyyy!”

Hwang Hyeon-rang swept both children into his arms and entered the office.

“Yi-ryeong, Li-gon. Did you have a good trip to the Dragon Palace?”

“Yes!”

“Yeah!”

The twins answered energetically. A slight smile spread across Hwang Hyeon-rang’s lips.

“Did you both greet your mother?”

“Of course!”

“But I don’t think Mom heard us! She keeps sleeping.”
