Chapter 63 (2/2)

“I’m the only one left?”

In fact, he had not known that the other people were leaving. It was the first time he had heard that.

“Have you not heard the news yet? A notice was sent to all the prospects telling them to return to their homes.”

Byeoktaesan nodded.

“True, they aren’t really in a situation where they can continue with the meeting.”

But soon he tilted his head.

“It would be much faster if they had the prospects participate in the investigation as well, are they trying to not take things that far?”

The investigation would be much easier if the prospects and the warriors each of them brought were included.

The basis of all investigation was manpower after all.

In addition, it was a chance for the prospects to get some experience.

“If they did that and something happened to the prospects during the investigation, that might make things difficult for Homuryeon to handle.”

“You mean they don’t want to be responsible? Well, I suppose that’s a matter of choice.”

Byeoktaesan, who muttered that, looked at Yeonharin.

“Then are you going back today?”

Yeonharin shook her head with a slightly sad expression.

“No. Tomorrow.”

Byeoktaesan looked at Yeonharin making that expression. Byeoktaesan’s eyes flashed.

‘Come to think of it… A person similar to Soso was right next to me all along.’

In fact, he hadn’t looked at her in this detail before.

When looking at Yeonharin, her beauty usually grabbed most of the attention.

So, unlike when he saw other people, he had never looked into her spirit in detail.

To do that, he would have to concentrate, but he never thought of focusing when looking at Yeonharin.

However, the situation was slightly different now.

Thanks to the enlightenment he gained a while ago and the spiritual power absorbed recently, his eyes were much better.

Thanks to that, he was able to take a closer look at Yeonharin’s spirit.

The foundation was pure so it was similar to Soso. However, the spiritual power accumulated in her spirit was a little different from Soso.

Still, he felt like he would be able to get a similar result. No, it was almost certain he will.

“You are going back tomorrow huh… … .”

Byeoktaesan muttered and looked straight at Yeonharin.

When Yeonharin saw Byeoktaesan staring at herself, her face turned slightly red.

Come to think of it, Byeoktaesan has never looked at her so carefully.

She swallowed without realizing it.

There was a moment of silence.

When Yeonharin’s tension had reached its peak, Byeoktaesan spoke.

“Come to my room tonight.”

“Excuse me?”

Yeonharin was amazed.

She didn’t know he would speak to her directly like this. Of course, it wasn’t like she hated that.

Yeonharin calmed her heart beating like crazy with her hand.

And she nodded without hesitation.

“I will. Tonight, uh, when should I come over?”

“You can decide the time. Just don’t be too late.”

Yeonharin’s head moved eagerly up and down.

“O-okay, then I’ll leave for now.”

Yeonharin got up from her seat. She felt like her heart was going to explode if she had stayed any longer.

Byeoktaesan stared at the back of Yeonharin, who was quickly going out the door.

“She’s definitely pretty alright.”

But maybe tomorrow she will be prettier than she is now.

He was a bit curious about what would happen.

Byeoktaesan smiled.

When night came, Yeonharin was restless.

“My lady, what’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

At Yoo Seo-yeon’s question, Yeonharin wiped her eyes and shouted inside.

‘It’s because of you! You! Why aren’t you leaving yet!’

It wasn’t possible to go to Byeoktaesan’s room because of Yoo Seo Yeon, her bodyguard doing her job and not leaving her side.

However, it was a little embarrassing to say that she was going to Byeoktaesan’s room proudly.

Even though, everyone will end up finding out when tomorrow came.

“My lady?”

Yeonharin took a deep breath and smiled brightly as she looked at Yoo Seo Yeon.

For some reason, Yeonharin’s bright smile looked terrifying and made Yoo Seo Yeon flinched.

“It’s gotten late, so shouldn’t warrior Yoo go get some sleep too?”

Yoo Seo-yeon said with a determined expression.

“I’ll be fine leaving after confirming that you went to bed.”

“It’s not like anything will happen here, so you don’t have to work so hard.”

“But how can I possibly do that?”

“I told you, you can? Since I know the heart of warrior Yoo, you can stop now and go get rest. Okay?”

Those words stabbed Yoo Seo-yeon’s intuition.

“My lady, are you… … !”

Yeonharin was amazed and shut her mouth.

Yoo Seo-yeon’s eyes widened. As if she could not believe it.

“How… How did my lady….before me…”

Hearing that Yeonharin got a little ticked off.

“Hey, are you saying that to me right now?”

Yoo Seo-yeon looked at Yeon Ha-rin with warm eyes.

“I am just proud of you. Seeing that you have grown up like this…”

Yeonharin quietly turned her head with an embarrassed expression.

Yoo Seo-yeon gripped the shoulders of Yeon Ha-rin.

“You can definitely do it. Go ahead before it’s too late. Wouldn’t it be bad if the lord ended up falling asleep while you were lingering here?

At those words, Yeonharin nodded heavily with a determined expression.

Yeonharin opened the door and sneaked out.

The hostel was quiet and serene.

Yeonharin moved quickly and quietly and entered the room of Byeoktaesan.

Byeoktaesan was sitting on the bed.

Yeonharin looked at him and gulped.

She walked slowly.

As Byeoktaesan tapped the bed with his palm, she quickly ran and went into the blanket.

Byeoktaesan laughed when he saw that. The action that Yeonharin just did was the exact same as when Soso came.

“Okay, then…”

Yeonharin looked at Byeoktaesan with a tense expression and closed her eyes.

Byeoktaesan then pulled out her spirit.
