CH 3 Ghost Princess & A Broken promise 3

(host\=Bir-yeong)

Ja-hyun's face contorted badly. He was the owner of a look that felt intimidating because of his ferocious eyes. When a sign of anger is added to that, it is truly ugly In such a bloody way. Ja-hyun spoke harshly with his teeth .

“Spit it!! If you're trying to trick me into something scheming, then get it out of the way. If You're trying to use me as chess piece then stop it. No one dares to do that to me.”

“If I could treat you like a chess piece, I would have to put you away sooner. Instead of using something that could explode like explosives, I would cut it off.”

Ja-hyun only snorted. How do he know what's inside of him? Bir-yeong was a sly man with ten squirrels in his stomach. A guy who has been together for over ten years, but he can't figure out what's going on inside his head.

Just looking at that sullen face, thinking all of these doubts about whether this guy is trying to trick him because he's trying to plot something . But he is not going to do what Bir-yeong want. After all, even the king, the father of the country, has no credibility, so who can he trust?

Ja-hyun muttered, filled with skepticism.

“It’s probably good. All I wanted was Princess Garan. I risked my life for the king's promise. But now he's refusing and I can't stand it. I will make a deal with him tomorrow.”

“If you do that, you will only end up being refused and killed! I'm well aware of your fiery temper, but you'll have to let it go this time. Even though it was like playing around with King Ga-ryun , at least King Ga-ryun couldn’t be as reckless as before.”

“Is this not being treated rudely now? Even though he is insulting me... !”

“ Calmly Consider the advantage you will get. Even if it's just a fake, you've got a princess. Although Princess Soru is the daughter of the deposed King Shin-yul, the previous king added her to the family register as his daughter not as his grand daughter . According to the genealogy, she is now the sister of King Ga-ryun. To have that princess as your wife means to become the king's brother-in-law. Even if it's just a fake... . You can get your name into the royal genealogy. If you have the power, you can exercise the power that comes with it. As it is a wedding ceremony that he established himself, King Ga-ryun cannot do anything about it.”

That phrase sounds pretty plausible, but Ja-hyun was so absurd that he didn't even snort. The king's brother-in-law? Soru was a woman who became a member of the royal family but was not treated as a member of the royal family. The one who is possessed by a ghost and everyone is reluctant to do is that Princess Soru . Even the previous king said she was unlucky and said to remove it from his eyes.

The biological father was imprisoned and could not see the light, and the mother died after receiving a private drug in return for committing infidelity. Even the servants are reluctant, so he'd rather die than serve the ghost princess. The king's sister? What kind of false relation do you mean?

“It’s a pity, there are rumors circulating that if l get close to that girl, I will die anyway.Then I will make King Ga-ryun my companion, who will die anyway.”

“Hahaha, where are you going to die at the hands of a ghost! Or maybe it's because she's afraid of ghostly curses, isn't she?"

“It’s a silly provocation!”

However, the frivolous provocation was so annoying that Ja-hyun, like a tiger, roars wildly . Bir-yeong was excited and drank one more drink.

“Why not? I've also heard a song coming from the valley. Rumor has it that the ghost who sings this music at sunset, right? The story of the ghosts of Heiran country who coveted the princess and fought fir her... . If you make Princess Soru wife, the whole house will become a haunted den. Ja-hyun you are s human too, but you are brave reluctant and the ghost seems to be trembling in his presence .”

Even though he knew he was saying this with the intention of trying to encourage him, the more he talked and Ja-hyun shut his chin tightly.

"Are you afraid of ghosts like me?" seeing how he grinds teeth like that, Bir-yeong is more excited to talk. Ja-hyun opened his axe eyes.

“Shut up! Do you want to live next to an ominous and reluctant girl, just like you said? . But why should I be satisfied with a ghost girl rather than Princess Garan!"

“It’s because you don’t have the strength.”

Ja-hyun was furious and threw a glass of wine against the wall.

Despite the loud noise of clanging, Bir-yeong only smiles softly. He narrowed his eyes and continued talking.

“Your status is nothing like King Ga-ryun said. As The eldest son of a military family with a declining trend. It's not enough to be a General . That is why, among the nobility from the Sedo family, it has not been so neglected. You have survived only Because of that pride of exceptional martial ability, but in reality, you don't have the power to defy the king's command."

“… … .”

“Because you know that too, you didn’t say anything and stood at the forefront in tge battlefield .”

Ja-hyun clenched her teeth. Bir-yeong's words scratched his inner thought , but he knew that those Words were not meant to ridicule him. He was angry, but he had to be able to control his anger so that he could still be called the best military commander in the country.

Seeing Ja-hyun's eyes glowing fiercely, but not saying anything, Bi-ryeong grinned.

“But now things are different. You've become a member of the royal family, even if it's just a pretense, and you've earned a reputation that can proudly claim the treatment you deserve. Soon nobody will be able to look down on your authority "

“… I can't be bothered by that foxy tongue trick of you. You're just trying to use me as your pawn."

" Uhh!! This foul temper.. Sacrificing your entire family to marry Princess Garan and take down the king, IS That what you want? "

Ja-hyun suddenly relaxed her shoulders and muttered. As if his boiling hearts has calmed down, the way he hangs on the chair means more talk actively, "I will listen."

Bir-yeong smiled and filled Ja-hyun's glass with alcohol. This explosive-like bastard has calmed down, so he will persuade him calmly. He spoke softly.

“If the Gost princess is really possessed , take her as your wife and then send her for recuperation somewhere far away. There is nothing to bring her to the bedroom. The king said he would give it, so you have to receive it, that's all. If you are greedy, then bring Princess Garan into the courtroom. There’s nothing you can’t do if you have time.”

“Hey, that’s easy. It's like this because the king can't give away his precious thing... .”

“Isn’t that enough if you do it now? There's plenty of time ahead. You had no power,but in the future you will have the power that no one can ignore. Wasn't it the case that all the armed forces who participated in the war came in with their head bowed to have Ja-hyun as their lord? Soon your family will be the most powerful in this country. See if King Ga-ryun can treat you like this even then.”

It's really creepy to talk about cleverly. Ja-hyun, who was glaring at his close friend with fierce eyes, soon saw the king's letter torn to shreds. The fire inside the heart was not extinguished, but it was time to put it to sleep.

Yeah, I'm not as miserable as this guy says. let it go.

“I'm not saying I'll forget this matter. I will repay him for the humiliation I suffered. Even a king will have to pay the price for playing with me.”

“Do what you want.”

Ja-hyun, who stared at Bir-yeong for a moment, got up from his seat and closed the door with a bang and left.
