The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Epilogue 2 (1)

* * *

One year later.

The Imperial Capital was bustling everywhere with unprecedented large-scale preparations for guests. The identity of the guests wasn’t particularly surprising, but.

If a group of guests arrived much earlier than scheduled, it was enough to make the subordinates panic and become even more busy.

Especially if the guests were someone cherished by the current Emperor, who had only been on the throne for a year but was acknowledged for his control, even more so.

The military personnel had also become busy. From the moment the guests passed through the Capital City, their safety and escort became the responsibility of the Imperial Guard.

Shaman Wolfsbane, who held the position of Imperial General, was equally busy.

He was walking down the corridor with his long hair loosely tied.

Since it was a corridor gallery and close to the city gate, the noisy sounds from outside could be heard clearly.

“So we’ve hit the jackpot, Uncle. Can you believe it? The Capital itself! The Imperial Palace! They’re our trading partners!”

“Heh heh heh.”

Shaman turned his head. Since this was the second floor, he could see the first floor scenery clearly.

Cargo carriages gathered in clusters.

In front of them, a red-haired woman was talking excitedly, while a bearded middle-aged man was nodding beside her.

“Our White Dragon Guild has really shown up the Capital’s three major guilds. How about we celebrate today and drink until our noses are crooked?”

“Heh heh. If Biyu allows it, then we should.”

White Dragon Guild. Currently the guild that had spread its wings the most with the Hei Family Estate backing it. Not only had it extended its influence throughout the Empire, but it was also a remarkable place that had more active exchanges with forces outside the Empire.

From briefly observing Biyu from the side, it was clear that the White Dragon Guild’s prosperity was also due to her involvement.

Of course, the ability of Jeok Yunha, the Guild Master over there, couldn’t be ignored either.

And the person next to the Guild Master was Tak Undeok, famous as a ginseng gatherer.

“By the way, how is Minjae’s condition? Is he still suffering from that severe illness?”

Jeok Yunha grinned as if amused and poked the family-like Uncle’s side with her elbow.

A slight shadow crossed Tak Undeok’s face. Soon he shook his head back and forth.

“Heh heh, Minjae has to overcome it himself. What can we do?”

“That’s true. One-sided love has to be overcome by oneself. Of all people, he had to make the precious Family Head his first love, what can you do?”

Shaman, who was just passing by, hesitated. He had heard words he couldn’t easily ignore.

“Our boy is suffering from unrequited love, and on top of that, Ayan pulled him out when he was holed up at home? Telling him to work as a bodyguard. That young lady is really magnanimous, isn’t she?”

“Sigh, we’re grateful for that.”

Tak Minjae. It was a name Shaman had heard before. Tak Undeok’s son, and a precious Wind Mage and promising talent, wasn’t he?

When he briefly stayed at the Hei Family Estate, he had seen his face too.

He was a young man with handsome features, and the way he looked at Biyu seemed unusual.

Shaman soon turned his head and walked down the corridor again.

The procession of the Hei Family Estate that arrived upon the Imperial Palace’s invitation was larger in scale and had more people than ever before.

Because of this, he and his subordinate Capital military unit couldn’t help but be tense.

Although it was better than a year ago, discriminatory attitudes toward Oriental People still remained in the Capital.

The resentment and hatred that had seeped into the Capital Nobles was the same.

And his role would be focused on preventing the thoughtless Capital Nobles from doing unnecessary things.

Since he had no intention of interfering with whatever the Hei Family Estate did.

‘I will bestow the position of Grand General to Shaman Wolfsbane, the Family Head of Wolfsbane.’

One year ago.

After the Emperor passed away, it was an order given by Emperor Raon, who had just held his coronation ceremony, as he replaced personnel in the administrative and military departments.

At the time, Shaman was known to be missing, so there was opposition.

But Raon stubbornly brought him out from the Hei Family Estate. His movement was also due to Biyu’s request.

Since she had saved his life, he should return to the Capital and do his work instead of staying at the Hei Family Estate where he had nothing to do.

With those words alone, he decided his course of action. Of course, Sylvester Book, who had become Prime Minister under the new Emperor and was struggling alone among the discriminationists, welcomed him with both hands raised.

It was a decision without regrets.

But he couldn’t think that the Emperor’s command had no ulterior motives.

There was no one who didn’t know that the Emperor and the Family Head of the Hei Family Estate were passionate lovers, in an engagement relationship.

Moreover, there was also news that they would marry soon.

That’s right.

This visit from the Hei Family Estate.

It was for the upcoming wedding ceremony.

Shaman briefly placed his hand on his chest.

Throb.

Feeling the familiar throbbing, he outwardly moved his steps calmly.

Pretending as if nothing was wrong.

It was what he did best.

“Over there, over there! They said there’s a really big Fountain over there. Go! Gyewon! Minjae!”

“…Who dares to call Brother’s name so carelessly.”

“I would like to tell you to maintain your dignity.”

Shaman hadn’t gone far when he discovered three people who suddenly poked their heads out from not far away.

A cute and lovely beauty with yellow hair, a tall and handsome Warrior with black hair.

It was a gentle-looking young man with brown hair.

It was Hei Ayan, Hei Gyewon, and Tak Minjae.

The peculiar thing was that Hei Ayan was being carried on Tak Minjae’s back.

Shaman noticed that there was a splint on Hei Ayan’s ankle.

“Why not, we’ll just be miserable if we stay at the Lodging anyway! Just guide me around. I’m bored to death with this sprained foot.”

“That’s why Brother said he would pick the Medicinal Herbs on the Cliff for you.”

“I also said I would pick them with Wind Power for you….”

“Everyone’s so noisy! An excellent Physician should know how to dig up Ingredients with their own hands.”

“But I know that the Family Head doesn’t dig them up directly….”

“Hey, Minjae, no talking about our Elder Sister! You’ll cry!”

“….”

Ayan giggled and patted the back of Tak Minjae who was carrying her.

“I’ll cheer you up, let’s go!”

“You just want to cheer yourself up, Miss.”

“Hmm, that’s true. Then what should we do? Want to marry me instead?”

“Wow. I can hear Youngest Uncle fainting from here.”

“Ahahahahaha!”

The sound of the three people’s conversation grew distant. Shaman stood quietly in the shadows until they disappeared, then tried to move.

Then he suddenly turned his head and made eye contact with Ayan.

‘Hey, Brother. Do you like our Elder Sister?’

A year ago, just before he left the Hei Family Estate, he had heard this question from Ayan.

Hei Ayan was a bright and lively person, but surprisingly sharp and quick-witted.

When he didn’t answer, Hei Ayan just left him with a smile and said goodbye.

‘Live kindly. Our Elder Sister likes kind people. Though there’s probably no hope anyway. You don’t seem to want to be hated either?’

Shaman had let those meaningless words pass without response as well. But the fact that he occasionally remembered them was probably because of something that remained in his heart.

Hei Ayan waved her hand, and he only nodded.

Only after the three people completely disappeared did he move his feet.

A moment later, he stopped walking only after arriving at the garden connected to the main castle.

Since they had given an entire castle to the Hei Family, it wasn’t strange to see Hei Family members everywhere today.

‘At this rate, aren’t we going to see Tak’s son-in-law?’

‘Shut up, get lost! Ah, Elder Brother, seriously. I told you not to follow me!’

For example, after seeing Hei Ayan’s group, he had also seen Hei Birang looking for Ayan, and Hei Biwon who was busy teasing his little sister with a grin.

So it wasn’t particularly strange that he would see Hei Bihu, Hei Biyu’s father, in the garden he was passing through.

It was just curious that someone who had been following his daughter around like a shadow as her bodyguard was now alone.

Of course, he wasn’t completely alone.

Hei Bihu was smiling at someone, and true to his face that made every single palace maid blush,

he looked incredibly beautiful.

Shaman made eye contact with the translucent figure. It was Baek Arin, Biyu’s mother.

– You’re the one who made our Biyu cry tears of blood, aren’t you?

He had conversed with her before.

Shaman didn’t know, but Hei Bihu had regained all his memories after his illness was completely cured.

And after piecing together his memories, he had come to deduce that Biyu had lived multiple lives.

Naturally, he also knew that she had treated him with her own life.

Combined with Arin’s opinion, who had already found it strange, Biyu was thoroughly interrogated(?) by her parents that day and confessed everything.

Her three lives and regression, and her ability to heal with lifespan.

After discussion, the three family members decided never to tell Hei Birang and Hei Biwon.

They thought that if they learned they had influenced Biyu’s death in her first and second lives, it would be unbearable for them.

Though Hei Bihu showed a dejected appearance for a while after learning all the facts, even that disappeared after receiving several hard slaps on the back from his wife’s hand.

The three family members decided to think only of future happiness.

Of course, Biyu’s third ability was to be sealed forever.

– I heard you caused my daughter much pain.

Unaware of this, Shaman guessed that Biyu had told Baek Arin about dreams in response to her question.

– Now that my daughter has given you life, I hope you live your own life. Both of you, happily.

And he quietly bowed his head, recognizing the warning within those gently spoken words.

This was also another reason why he left the Hei Family Estate to go to the Imperial Palace.

Baek Arin, who met his eyes, nodded slightly. Shaman also bowed his head.

Though her silhouette seemed delicate, an atmosphere that made people unable to move flowed from her.

Finally reaching his office, Shaman stared at the door instead of entering.

The image of Hei Bihu and Baek Arin he had just seen wouldn’t fade.

Though one was a semi-transparent ghost, since she could be seen and touched like a human, she was no different from a person.

The affectionate and happy appearance of the two wouldn’t leave his eyes.

…What if.

If he hadn’t done something to regret.

Could he have lived with someone he loved, like them?

Shaman stared intently at his hand gripping the door handle for a long time.

Soon a small bitter laugh escaped his lips.

“Ha, such pointless thoughts…”

‘Still, there’s probably no hope. It seems like I don’t want to be hated either?’

…Actually, he had told Biyu one lie.

He closed his eyes tightly.

“Biyu.”

A tender and sorrowful voice that no one could hear.

In truth, he didn’t think of his third life as a different life. Though he had expressed it as a dream, it was actually closer to memories surfacing.

Therefore, he remembered everything – the emotions of loving her, and the wrong he committed when he betrayed her under brainwashing.

Having committed an unforgivable sin, remembering while being eternally unreachable was precisely.

The painful and eternal punishment he imposed upon himself.

He opened the door.

He stepped into a life where loss would accompany the path that lay ahead of him.

If there’s anything I wish for, it would be only this.

I hope you will be happy.
