Chapter 245
Time flew by like an arrow, and before we knew it, the day for Grandfather Am-wang and Bandit Grandfather to return was tomorrow.
I pushed aside my melancholy feelings and helped Grandmother prepare food for the grandfathers.
Today, instead of noodles and dumplings, a heartfelt feast was laid out on the table.
“Father, this is something you’ve always liked. Please try some.”
“I have no appetite.”
Grandmother looked worriedly at Grandfather Am-wang, who was only drinking alcohol without any side dishes.
Our Shin Geum acts cool on the outside, but she had exactly that expression of wondering if she was being unfilial.
At times like this, the charming granddaughter has to step in, doesn’t she?
“Great-Grandfather! I really love this too! We must have similar tastes, don’t we?”
I picked up a side dish and placed it on top of Grandfather Am-wang’s rice.
“…Thank you.”
Unable to refuse me as well, Grandfather reluctantly took a spoonful.
Then Bandit Grandfather next to him began stirring his plain rice with his spoon in an obviously exaggerated manner.
Oh my!
“Bandit Grandfather, please eat quickly too.”
I barely swallowed a sigh and added side dishes to Bandit Grandfather’s rice as well.
What could I do?
All of this was my karma.
Having one body but two grandfathers made serving them quite difficult.
‘As expected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.’
Huh?
Oh, it wasn’t two but three.
Though he said nothing, I could clearly see that Grandpa Tak was displeased.
I observed the situation and secretly sent a telepathic message to Grandpa Tak.
“Grandfather, tomorrow it’ll just be you and me left. Then I’ll show you all the filial piety you want. Please bear with it just for today, okay?”
“Alright. You must keep that promise.”
“Of course!”
Though it’s sad to part with the two grandfathers, I think I’ll feel more at ease with just one remaining.
It was when Grandpa Tak was smiling contentedly at my promise.
“What are you two exchanging telepathic messages about?”
Grandfather Am-wang looked back and forth between me and Grandpa Tak with sharp eyes.
“…Telepathic messages? What do you mean! Grandfather, try this too! It’s really delicious!”
I made excuses and quickly shoved a side dish into Grandfather Am-wang’s mouth.
“I will definitely visit Sichuan within two years. So please relax and eat. My wife prepared these dishes from dawn.”
Uncle Gong Pae-cheon also stepped in with perfect timing.
“You know what happens if you break that promise, don’t you?”
The corners of Grandfather Am-wang’s eyes curved wickedly like Grandmother’s.
It was a precursor to a back-smashing.
“There should be good news by then too!”
“Pardon?”
What good news?
I tilted my head while worrying about Uncle Gong Pae-cheon’s back.
“A granddaughter, I mean a granddaughter!”
Ah, a granddaughter.
“If a grandson is born, there’s nothing I can do, but for now I’m team granddaughter!”
Our grandfather’s preferences are quite firm.
Uncle Gong Pae-cheon and Grandmother’s faces turned red as beets in an instant.
Separately from that, giggling sounds could be heard from around us.
“I want to see my cute aunt soon too!”
Whether it was a daughter or son, I was confident I would genuinely adore them once they were born.
I’d probably go crazy kissing and cuddling them.
‘Ah, just imagining it is adorable enough to kill me.’
“Seolha, don’t you rush things.”
“…Pardon?”
Suddenly, Grandfather Am-wang’s gaze toward me became strange.
Weren’t we just talking about Grandmother’s child?
Why is the arrow pointing at me?
“You mustn’t have babies before even getting married!”
“Of, of course! How could you say such a thing about me! Grandfather, don’t you trust me?”
“I trust you!”
Grandfather’s gaze suddenly turned toward Eok I-geon.
“But I can’t trust that guy!”
“I agree!”
Not only Bandit Grandfather but even Grandpa Tak glared at Eok I-geon with fierce eyes.
All three of them looked murderous, as if they might shoot lasers from their eyes.
The problem was that this behavior had absolutely no effect on Eok I-geon.
His expression didn’t change at all as he ate his food, looking quite serene even to me.
If that could be called an ability, it was indeed an ability.
“You must always conduct yourself properly. Don’t even attempt things like kissing!”
“Right! That’s how it should be!”
“…Cough!”
I was drinking water because my throat was dry, when the sudden comment made me cough involuntarily.
‘What, what do they know to say such things?’
Having committed sins, my shoulders automatically hunched up.
“Sister, have you already progressed that far?”
Then Yang Ha-rin tactlessly butted in, making a big fuss.
“Oh my! What’s this! What’s this!”
Covering her mouth with one hand while hitting my shoulder with the other, she was absolutely delighted.
It was my fault for not being able to refuse when she said she wanted to say farewell to the grandfathers.
“I’ve never done it before. Sister, what does it feel like?”
Do you call that a question?
Can’t you see the grandfathers are here?
Even though I glared at her to stop, Yang Ha-rin completely missed the hint.
Yes, that’s how you’re Yang Ha-rin.
Sigh.
“Ha-rin.”
“Yeah?”
“Please shut that mouth of yours.”
When I spoke while clenching my teeth, Yang Ha-rin finally seemed to sense the danger signal and backed away.
Even then, her face still read ‘this is so entertaining.’
“Young Master Eok, did you understand what I said?”
To Grandfather Am-wang’s question, Eok I-geon gave no answer.
Just saying ‘Yes, I understand’ would suffice, so why is he being stubborn!
“Hey! Why is there no answer!”
“Young man, are you listening to us?”
The grandfathers were on the verge of getting angry.
When I glared at him, Eok I-geon sighed and answered.
“I can’t lie.”
Crack!
In an instant, the room fell silent.
In the settled stillness, Eok I-geon spoke again with firm resolve.
“I cannot give up on kissing.”
Hey! Hey! Eok I-geon!
Is that something to say so dramatically?
I almost burst out asking if he was crazy.
What’s so important about a mere kiss that you’d risk your life?
Do you know or not that all our grandfathers are among the Ten Masters?
Even Yang Ha-rin, who had been giggling thoughtlessly, grew tense as the atmosphere reached its worst point.
Sure enough.
“This, this brat!”
“Get down on your knees right now!”
Prince Lee!”
The three grandfathers rose simultaneously in outrage.
Whoooosh!
Enormous energy swirled like a storm, and the air in the room froze instantly.
Clatter. Clatter.
Tables floated into the air, and the dishes on them shook precariously.
Crack—
Some of the plates couldn’t withstand the force and split with cracking sounds.
“How dare you touch my granddaughter…!”
Broken dish fragments became daggers shooting into the air.
Eok I-geon didn’t even blink despite the sharp projectiles floating right before his nose.
His unwavering stance was impressive in its own way.
“Prince Lee, it’s not too late even now!”
When even Grandpa Tak joined in, the energy grew even more fierce.
Windows rattled as if they would shatter, and the door curtains were torn away.
The room gradually became a battlefield under the three grandfathers’ rage.
“Father!”
“Elder Ho-jon!”
“Please calm down, Master Tak!”
Grandmother, Uncle Gong Pae-cheon, and Elder Ma, who had stopped by to pay respects, belatedly realized they couldn’t just watch and began restraining one grandfather each.
Crack crack crack!
Uncle Gong Pae-cheon even pulled out weapons from his chest and set up barriers in all four directions.
The energies were so terrifying that if the barrier had been even slightly delayed, the entire pavilion would have been blown away.
Though it’s awkward to say this at such a timing, I was quite amazed to witness the unity of orthodox and demonic martial arts in this way.
Anyway, through the three people’s efforts, the commotion finally subsided.
I hoped Eok I-geon would show even a slight sign of remorse, but that was my arrogance after all.
“But I’ll make sure no baby is conceived.”
“Wh-what?”
“Today I’ll cut off that bastard’s head even if it means making an enemy of Cheonma!”
Rumble!
The energy that had barely been suppressed boiled up again.
“Cheon-gang! Seo-ryeon!”
I had no choice but to ask the two to take Eok I-geon away.
It seemed this chaos would only stop if Eok I-geon was removed from the grandfathers’ sight.
Indeed, once Eok I-geon was dragged out, the grandfathers’ energy disappeared like a lie.
“Damn brat!”
“How dare he run his mouth carelessly!”
“We must keep a close watch!”
After that, the three grandfathers began devising measures to separate me from Eok I-geon.
In that process, wine cups crossed the table many times.
“When will we see our granddaughter again? *sob*!”
Tears welled up in Bandit Grandfather’s eyes, who had been talking about killing or sparing Eok I-geon just moments ago.
“She’s my only blood relative I’ve barely found!”
My heart wasn’t comfortable seeing such a grandfather either.
“Bandit Grandfather, I’ll definitely come visit you. You told me the mountain villa’s location too, right?”
“You’ll write letters?”
“Of course. I’ll send messenger birds every day!”
I made promises liberally to comfort grandfather.
Honestly, every day would be difficult, but I planned to do it frequently.
“Ho-jon, why are you crying? How unseemly in front of your granddaughter!”
Grandfather Am-wang clicked his tongue seeing Bandit Grandfather sniffling.
Hmm, yes.
Everyone lives with at least one double standard tucked away in a corner of their heart.
Grandfather Am-wang clearly had no idea that he himself had been the most agitated one until now.
“Now, now, if we’ve done this much, let’s all calm down…”
“You stay out of this!”
“Where do you get off interfering!”
Before Grandpa Tak could finish speaking, Grandfather Am-wang and Bandit Grandfather trembled and shouted.
“Really now, when people meet they also part ways. Didn’t I say to come anytime you miss her?”
“Are you rubbing salt in the wound now?”
“Don’t you understand the meaning of putting yourself in others’ shoes?”
“Oh my, I understand. I get it. Let’s toast while waiting for the future.”
Despite the two grandfathers’ prickly reactions, Grandpa Tak responded gently.
“That old man Tak is the only one having fun.”
“I envy the in-law!”
Laughing and crying, grumbling then laughing and crying again.
Thus the last drinking session at headquarters continued late into the night.
And as soon as the next morning dawned, Grandfather Am-wang and Bandit Grandfather truly left the Demonic Sect.
They say you don’t notice when someone arrives but it shows when they leave – I suffered from depression for a while.
Please stay healthy until we meet again.
For the two grandfathers, I prayed to all the gods every single day.
