Chapter 45: Peach Blossom Girl (1)

The night streets were lined with bars selling alcohol and a young man came out of one of them. A noble dressed in rich silk.

Several prostitutes were following after him.

It isnt even midnight yet, but you are already leaving?

Young Master, do you know? They say that if a person changes suddenly, then it means something bad will happen!

The young man sighed as he said,

I need to go home and wake up early tomorrow, my mother is not feeling well these days. I might end up being kicked out without a penny to inherit.

Then come to our brothel. We will feed you and put you to sleep too!

Are you asking me to work here?

Work? Would we? You can be a musician!

The only thing I know is to knock out rice bowls.

Young Master, seriously!

Everyone smiled, and a servant brought him his horse, but he waved his hand.

I will walk tonight. That way, the smell of alcohol will go away.

All the women burst into laughter.

I didnt think she would be such an angry person!

Dont even get me started.

The young man sighed. He couldnt stop, even with such cute beauties around him.

Phew, my situation

The young man walked with his back straight in the splendid night.

All the pedestrians passed in the other direction, and occasionally, some horse riders would pass by too.

I dont have a companion! It would be nice if a beautiful woman could fall from somewhere. Then it wouldnt be boring to walk around while looking at her.

As he turned the corner, the young man hesitated. It was just something he said.

A woman walked in front of him. She had jet-black hair that reached her waist, and a slender body with silk wrapped around it.

She was a typical royal beauty, and his eyes widened.

If I cannot take a look at her face, I might not be able to sleep tonight!

He walked faster, but it was strange.

No matter how fast he walked, he couldnt get close to her, and he was now almost running, but the woman was still ahead of him.

Am I too drunk?

He realized it at that point. So he pulled his clothes up to run.

Hello! Miss! Please stop! I have something important to say!

The woman didnt turn back, and she walked quickly to the side of the river where the boats sailed.

As she rode a boat alone, the young man also rode one to follow her. In the middle of the river was a small artificial island made of stone and soil. And the woman stopped her boat there.

She went into the pavilion built on the artificial island. It looked like a celebration hall. The young man opened the door and followed her.

Miss!

At that moment, a cold wind hit his body, making the man sober up.

The sight in front of him felt ominous. The whole place was full of cobwebs. The walls and floor were covered with dark red marks.

This isnt it.

It was so terrifying that he couldnt stay there. So he tried to leave, but right then, he saw a beautiful woman with her back to him standing near a window. And the man once again forgot about his fear.

Oh! You were there!

The moment he approached her with joy, something small fell from the womans body, and it rolled.

A dice?

One that had fourteen sides and was used for settling penalties at drinking parties. And it rolled until it halted.

The young man read the dice without a thought.

Laugh out loud?

?

Only then did he realize. She was alone, and there were no other officials who followed her.

It meant she wasnt going anywhere and that she had been waiting there.

And the person was maybe him?

Seol Young bowed his head.

Great Heavenly Head.

Seol Young-rang.

She bowed her head very lightly, and Seol Young asked,

What business do you have with me?

The woman stared at him and then smiled.

Interesting.

What?

Seol Young-rang proudly said he would solve the supernatural calamities that I foresaw, and you actually did solve them a couple of times, which is nice. Actually, I thought that you were acting ignorant since you are a careless person, but this is unexpected.

She looked like she was scanning Seol Young.

It seems like you are afraid of something.

The womans eyes were sharp, and she had her own opinion.

Seol Young was nervous but he answered without hesitation,

Of course. I am always afraid of things.

Um? What?

As you must have already known, isnt sorcery something that borrows power from the other side? Those who wish to practice it always have a fear in their hearts, and first of all, the fear of Gods is what we call

As she listened, her face contorted.

Seol Young-rang, I didnt mean that.

She looked at Seol Young.

Arent you also suspicious of the identity of the High Governor?

This struck a chord. But Seol Young said nothing.

If he had just noticed that, he wouldnt have even gotten close to him. He frowned slightly as he said,

I dont understand what you mean. Do you have any doubts regarding the High Governors identity? If it isnt him, then did some fox disguise itself as him? Dont you think the Hwarang troops would have discovered it?

Hmm.

She smiled.

Seol Young-rang, where did we first meet? You think I dont know anything about you? Even though you are calmly putting on this pretense, you are worried inside. You are no idiot, and I know you must have already figured out a couple of things about the High Governor.

She continued before Seol Young could respond.

I do not want outsiders to meddle in the affairs of the clans. Are you going to fall for his words and cover them up? You should think carefully about whether that is a wise decision. You are already being fooled.

You are already fooled. Isnt that the favorite phrase of the one who wants to deceive others?

Shut up and listen, young man. The High Governor must be helping you little by little to avoid the eyes of others. In that way, he makes you depend on him. That is his method.

A strange smile appeared on her lips.

I am someone who cares about this nation. Think about it. Everything I hold in my hands now comes from this nation, so would I want this nation to be shaken?

There is no doubt that there is a revelation from heaven, but after thinking, I realized something.

?

Maybe the real problem maker is elsewhere. Disguised in an identity, no one would suspect.

She looked Seol Young right in the eye.

I just want to give you a chance to choose. If you think there is some truth in what I am saying..

She pulled out a pouch of red silk from her sleeve.

Then open this. You will learn an important secret about the High Governor.
