A Kind Goblin’s Bird - Chapter 81
He cant even hold her hardened body.
He cant even fill her coffin with flowers.
He cant even put her on a white sailboat.
Leaving her in this dirty place? Does she want him to do that? Her grievance, yes, because there is that.. In fact, she might not even know what resentment is.
Just the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, wife like a flower.
return.
He could feel a spys gaze. The gaze of the spy that he has felt all his life. He always thought it was familiar, but at this moment, Sa Heon-young wanted to twist that spys neck. He wanted to tear the spys limbs apart. He wanted to burn it all down. Finish it all.
Young-ah, if only I could.
But think of her grievance. Her grievance that may not even exist.
Those who killed her. Enemy. Those who are now nothing but enemy. Those who will make a joke even if he dies here. Its okay to be a laughing stock, but if he dies here, who will comfort the soul of his pitiful flower? Who?
His body is heavy. He knew she was here, but the thought didnt stop him from walking away. His whole body feels like its falling down to the ground.
As Sa Heon-yeongs body collapsed, the armed forces rushed in. Your Highness! The voice calling out like that was far away. His body was heavy.
Did your grievance cling to me? Did your grievance even come to me? Then dont go. Never, never go.
Sa Heon-young closed his eyes. The last tears of blood pooled on his lips and flowed down his chin.
***
It was two days later that Sa Heon-young woke up again.
His eyes were covered and he thought he was blind for a moment. Sa Heon-young was not surprised at that moment. He didnt seem to be surprised by anything anymore. What is surprising about becoming blind or becoming a beggar. Hes already lost everything.
He lost Young-young.
Did a landslide happen?
Yes, Your Highness.
She was buried with the dirty things. The flowery one will be forever mingled with the dirtiest ones on Yangan.
I see.
There were no tears now. The tears seemed to have all flowed out in the valley of sinners. It was like sand, not blood, that was circulating in his body, pouring out all his emotions.
Skree, skree. He heard such a sound inside his body.
Your Highness, this is Ha Soye.
Yes.
That, This lowly thing has something to tell you, but I want to send everyone back.
Sa Heon-yeong did not send back the people. He was no longer afraid of anything. It didnt matter what the spy said.
Just, it was all boring. He already knew which one was the Crown Princes spy and his mothers spy. The reason he didnt deal with them was that even if he dealt with them, it would be repeated again.
In that case, it would be better to know and control who they are and to give them something to say in moderation. Knowing that, Ha Soye had always been very careful.
But now, even if he declares his disrespect and falls under the Crown Princes sword once more, what does that mean?
Young-young doesnt exist anymore.
Why did they kill her?
Ha Soye grew up at the court. She knew the affairs of court ladies quickly, and if she wanted to find out, there was nothing she couldnt figure out. Ha Soye looked embarrassed and cautioned, Your Highness.
Just tell me.
Your Highness, forgive me.
Ha Soye blurted her words as if in trouble. Sa Heon-yeong asked, curious about Ha Soye, who blurs her words even though she knows what he means.
Whats wrong?
Her Highness , its a will, how dare I.
A will?
Sa Heon-yeong unwrapped the cloth that was covering his eyes and threw it away and waved his hand. At that one gesture, everyone retreated from the bed in unison.
Sa Heon-yeong called Ha Soye, who was a little far away, closer with his hand gestures.
A will. What did she say? Did she even curse? She must have tried to, saying that she would repay everything in the underworld for meeting an ugly husband and being brutally murdered.
What did shesay?
There wasnt any place that wasnt pretty in her, but her voice was particularly pretty. Even if she would hum a little, the people would look back at her in captivatedness, but to say that she cursed with that voice?
Sa Heon-yeong knew the rough story. Sa Heon-yeong also had a spy placed in the Empress palace. But he didnt hear the details. On that day, the spy did not get close enough. He could hear about the scene that day, but he couldnt hear the details of the inner story.
Ha Soye was terrified of how she was going to tell this story.
Uncharacteristically, she continued her story with hesitation, unlike her.
The atmosphere when Queen Mun arrived before the Empress. The story of the day when Queen Mun sang, and the Empress who slept while listening to the song, suddenly changed and whipped the queen, and Queen Mun who endured not to sing, and everyone went crazy.
Sa Heon-yeong thought he knew the gist of the story, but it was much worse than he thought. The Empress did not consider his wife from the beginning, and when her wish did not come true, she beat his wife recklessly like a beast.
