Chapter 93

“Kids, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Jaseonghwa quickly came down and pulled Moa into her arms.

At the same time, she let out a sigh of relief after confirming that her sons were unharmed.

“Mother…!”

Moa buried herself in Jaseonghwa’s embrace.

As she was warmly enveloped, all the frightening things came rushing back at once.

“Huuung…”

Moa burst into tears.

Jin Saheon frowned at his daughter’s crying and looked around.

The Master of Saryeom House collapsed on the floor.

The giant Sasamyeong that had melted down limply.

Even Rin with her pale face.

“…The situation is complicated.”

“Father, I’ll explain.”

Jin Dowoon quickly approached.

“The Head of the Manor was subdued by Master Sayeom, and Sasamyeong…”…”

“Somi swallowed the forbidden technique!”

Moa interrupted while crying.

“Somi ate it all up!”

Jin Saheon and Jaseonghwa looked puzzled.

The two couldn’t see Somi, but they already knew of its existence from Yeongang.

A cat that they couldn’t tell whether it was a Guardian Spirit, a spiritual creature, or Moa’s imaginary friend.

Seeing Moa speak like that even in this situation, it must really exist, Jin Saheon nodded.

[I ate it all… Ugh, my stomach feels weird.]

Somi staggered but approached Moa with a triumphant expression.

Moa looked at Somi and thought of a toy car rolling on the floor, then put it in her arms and tugged at Jaseonghwa’s sleeve.

“Mother, but…”

Moa made a tearful face and opened her front garment.

The High Cliff crystal hanging around her neck was still cold as ice.

“Something seems to have happened to Brother Danhwi…!”

“What?”

Jaseonghwa also knew about the High Cliff crystal hanging around Moa’s neck.

Her face hardened stiffly after touching the crystal.

“…This is.”

Jin Saheon also approached to check and made a heavy expression.

“Something must have happened at the Imperial Palace.”

“Father, will brother be okay?”

Moa asked while tears streamed down her face.

“We can’t know right now.”

Jin Saheon stroked Moa’s head.

When his daughter’s lips became pointed from sobbing, he hurriedly continued speaking.

“But we must finish the matters here first.”

“…”

“If the Crown Prince is in danger, we will definitely save him. But right now, your safety comes first. Do you understand?”

Moa nodded while trying to hold back her tears.

“Mmhm…”

Her small hand gripped the crystal tightly.

‘Brother, you’re alive, right?’

While Moa worried and grieved.

[Burp.]

Somi, having finished digesting, let out a final burp.

[I ate it all…]

At that moment.

The dark energy completely disappeared from Sasamyeong’s body.

Clear intelligence returned to the clouded eyes.

Sasamyeong slowly raised its head and looked around with clear eyes.

[This place is…]

Instead of mad howling or groaning sounds, it was a deep and calm voice.

[Am I… in my right mind.]

Sasamyeong looked down at its own body.

It saw scales that had fallen out sparsely and a body covered in wounds.

[…Is this me.]

And then the memories came flooding back.

Memories from when it was corrupted.

As the realization of what it had done came rushing in…

[I… hurt the children.]

Sasamyeong’s voice trembled.

[I swore to protect the clan… but in the end, I ruined it.]

The Guardian Spirit that had seemed so mighty looked like a lost child, making Moa rub her eyes slightly.

‘Snake grandmother looks sad…’

Moa’s heart ached in sympathy as she looked up at Sasamyeong with a tearful expression.

‘I didn’t feel this when she was fighting with my brothers and Somi… Is it strange that I’m getting soft-hearted?’

Moa secretly looked around at Yeongang and Jin Dowoon’s expressions, then wiggled her fingers.

This was because her brothers’ expressions didn’t look as heartbroken as Moa’s.

“Mother, is Sasamyeong also a chestnut burr?”

And she asked Jaseonghwa in a small voice.

“Well… let’s see if Lady Sayeom can remove the thorns.”

At Jaseonghwa’s words, Moa held her breath and watched Rin approaching Sasamyeong.

As Rin approached with her pale face and trembling hands clearly visible, Sasamyeong looked at Rin.

At that moment, the elongated pupils shook greatly.

[You are…]

Sasamyeong’s voice cracked.

[You resemble that child.]

The image of the previous Head of the Manor overlapped with Rin’s face.

The person who smiled warmly and revered her.

The only human who wished for her to follow her heart.

[I’m sorry.]

Sasamyeong bowed its head.

Seeing a being close to divine bow its head to a human, Rin was shocked and collapsed flat on the floor.

“We, we were wrong, Sasamyeong.”

Sasamyeong’s corruption had occurred just before Rin was born.

Rin, who had been accustomed to the corrupted Guardian Spirit, was greatly shocked to see it reborn in its true state, having cast off the contamination.

Just looking at it naturally inspired awe.

‘How could father do such a thing to such a Guardian Spirit…?’

The snake’s tail approached Rin, who was lying prostrate in renewed shock.

“Kyah!”

Sasamyeong wrapped around Rin’s body once to lift her up and spoke in a heartbroken voice.

[Just because your father abandoned me… I shouldn’t have abandoned you all as well.]

“…No, Sasamyeong.”

Eventually, tears flowed from Rin’s eyes.

“It was Father who did wrong. Not you, Sasamyeong.”

Rin placed her hand on Sasamyeong’s scales.

“I heard how much Grandfather loved you, Sasamyeong.”

[Ah….]

Sadness welled up in Sasamyeong’s eyes as she recalled vivid memories as if they had met just yesterday.

“You loved our clan too, Sasamyeong. So….”

Rin bowed her head once again.

“I’ll apologize on behalf of our clan. I’m truly sorry for what Father did to you, Sasamyeong.”

[….]

Sasamyeong couldn’t continue speaking.

The sight of the daughter of the human who had corrupted and exploited her apologizing seemed to give her some special feeling.

However, soon she returned to that sad look as if she had given up on everything again.

Watching this, Moa carefully approached Sasamyeong.

“Snake Grandmother.”

[…Little child.]

Sasamyeong looked at Moa.

[You saved me.]

“No. Somi saved you.”

Moa shook her head.

“I just… saw the memories of how you became hurt, Sasamyeong.”

At Moa’s words about seeing memories, everyone including Rin was surprised.

Though she had always been a mysterious child, they hadn’t known such things were possible.

“The sadness when someone you loved left. The pain of being abandoned by someone you tried to protect.”

Sasamyeong’s eyes wavered.

“But still.”

Moa stroked Sasamyeong’s scales.

“Sister Rin and her sibling are here. The family of the grandfather you loved still remains. So it’s not over yet.”

[Yes… that’s right.]

Sasamyeong looked at Rin.

The image of the previous clan head overlapped with her.

Something transparent flowed down from Sasamyeong’s eyes.

They were tears after thousands of years.

[It wasn’t over yet.]

The moment the tears fell to the floor.

As if recognizing the desire to undo her mistakes.

The Guardian Spirit’s powerful force became waves that swept through the area.

Moa looked surprised as she watched her bangs flutter upward in the gust.

“Kid, grab on tight!”

Yeongang shouted so Moa wouldn’t be startled.

“Mother.”

Dowoon also blocked in front of Jaseonghwa and Yeongang to help them escape the wind’s influence.

“Waah!”

Moa held onto Rin and Sasamyeong’s body, fluttering like a pinwheel.

Jin Saheon left his reliable sons and grabbed Moa, holding her tightly.

Then, after a moment, the sudden gust suddenly subsided.

‘Something feels lighter!’

Moa opened her eyes wide.

Perhaps because the space used for evil deeds was in front of them.

The cool and heavy atmosphere unique to underground suddenly felt brighter.

She could intuitively realize that something good had happened to Saryeom House.

After the chaotic atmosphere settled for a moment, Jin Saheon looked at the collapsed Master of Saryeom House and asked.

“What will you do with the Master?”

At his question, Rin raised her head.

Her eyes turned cold.

“I’ll use him as evidence to prove the Emperor’s evil deeds… and I’ll handle it myself.”

“You’ll need to hide him well… His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t want civil war.”

Since Danhwi’s goal was to completely turn the Emperor into a puppet and then change the regime, even regrettably, it wasn’t a card to use immediately.

They would need to use it along with multiple layers of evidence to prevent the Emperor from escaping.

[Wait.]

Sasamyeong called to Rin.

[Let me see that child… just once more.]

Sasamyeong slowly approached the Master.

The man lying collapsed and groaning.

A child she had once loved and rejoiced over just for being born.

[…Poor thing.]

Compassion was contained in Sasamyeong’s voice.

[He went mad because of illness. But I cannot forgive him….]

“Sasamyeong, he’s a human not worth such consideration.”

Rin approached and looked down at her father with eyes that viewed trash.

He was such a bad human that even this compassion was a luxury.

[…Yes. Now I too will erase him from my heart.]

The man abandoned by his daughter and the Guardian Spirit lay unconscious with a slightly furrowed brow.

Unaware that he would be trapped in a place no one could find, waiting only for the day his evil deeds would be exposed.

***

Moa sat in the Guest Hall of Saryeom House with a tired face.

Before leaving Saryeom House, there was something to finish.
