Chapter 150
The Baengri Clan’s Unwanted Granddaughter
Chapter 150
“Where are you going?” he asked.
Why is he so shameless?Didn’t I just catch him sneaking after me? I was speechless for a moment.
“I’m just going out for a bit. How did you even see me to follow me?” I replied.

“I just saw you and followed you.”
Is he copying what I said? I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t follow me.”

“Why not?”
“...You’re not supposed to follow people around without their permission.” Do I really have to teach you every little thing?
I could excuse him trailing after me as a kid as him not knowing any better, but doing it at this age was entirely different. And considering that he started tailing me right as I left, it seems he’s been hanging around my quarters… This didn’t feel like a one-time thing.
What do they call it when a duckling trails after the mother as soon as it hatches? Imprinting? Is that what this is?

Yayul nodded and said with sparkling eyes, “Then give me permission.”
“...”
“Yeah?”
“...No. I’m sneaking out right now.”

“I won’t tell anyone.”
“Are you saying you will tell if I don’t give you permission?”

“Huh?” Yayul looked at me like he couldn’t believe I would say that.
What?Why do I feel like I’m the bad guy here?
He looked at me for another moment, then lowered his head and mumbled, “I really can’t...?”
The way he looked reminded me of how he’d waited in the courtyard back at the Namgoong clan for me to come back, every single day. But just when I opened my mouth to say something…
Tch!Ch!
I looked in the direction of the sound to see that Gyeol had coughed. When I noticed me looking at it, it slammed its tail on the ground with dissatisfaction and then got up as if telling me to hurry up already.

“...Just for tonight, then,” I told Yayul, who smiled brightly and stood next to me. “And don’t come near me. You’re too conspicuous, so sneak behind me like you did just now.”

After a little more walking, I found the servant I’d paid off ahead of time. He was surprised when I told him that Yayul would be accompanying me, but he managed to sneak us both out of a side door.
Of course, Yayul had to hurry to change into a servant’s outfit to avoid detection. He tidied his hems and looked at me. “What are you smiling about?”
“I’ve always thought that servants’ clothes really don’t suit you.”
“Is it that bad?”

“Yeah.”
Yayul’s face fell.

Flustered, I explained further, “N-no, what I mean is that you look like a noble young master with a sad backstory out on a secret mission.”
“A noble young master?”
“Yeah.”
He didn’t seem to really get it, but he smiled at me anyway.

“Why are you smiling?” I asked.
“I just like when you smile.”
“...”
Yayul and I climbed into the carriage that was waiting for us outside the garden. After a fairly long ride, the carriage stopped, and the driver opened the door.

When I hopped out, I could smell grass. We were in front of a forest road. I don’t think we’ve come out that far... Where are we? In the silence, I could hear the sound of trickling water beneath the rustling of leaves in the wind, which gave me an idea of where this was.
The driver handed me a lamp, and Yayul and I started walking up the only road. Just as I’d expected, a familiar dock soon appeared before us, the same small dock I’d visited with Seok Gayak and the girls from school last time. There was a boat there.
Е ñ ǔ m ä .і̌ d̀
A pale hand lifted the shade as its owner smiled at me. “Welcome, Yeon.” He then glanced behind me. “But... You seem to have brought some baggage with you.”
“It just turned out that way.”
“I did see it through Gyeol’s sight.”
Jaegal Hwamu reached out to help me onto the boat. The moment I grabbed his cold hand, a strong force pulled me in. “Ah!”
The boat pulled away from the dock as soon as I fell into his arms. I got up, hurriedly trying to catch my balance on the rocking ship.
“You scared me!” I exclaimed.

I looked back to see Yayul was trying to follow me, but some men in black had appeared and stopped him.
“He can’t come along,” Jaegal Hwamu announced.
I gave him a hard look. “You could’ve just said.”
Jaegal Hwamu just blinked at me. “Would he have followed you here in the first place if he could be talked out of anything?”
That... was true.
There was a splash behind us. I turned to see one of the men stopping Yayul had fallen into the water.
Е̃ n um̃ а̄.i̊ d
“Don’t touch me.” Yayul’s voice was eerily calm for someone who’d just thrown a man into the river.
I quickly qi-spoke to him, “Don’t fight, just wait!I’ll be right back!”

That got him to stop his rampage.
Jaegal Hwamu examined my expression. “Do you feel sorry for him?” he asked, seeming truly baffled.
I furrowed my brows instead of responding.
He stroked his chin and mumbled, “That’s quite a peculiar sentiment.”
Ё n ũ m̃ а
“What’s so peculiar about it?”
“That Yayul... You know he and the Cheonsan Flame Lord slaughtered a whole criminal organization half a year ago?” He intoned in a singsong voice, “Screams and groans of pain filled the estate the whole night through, and once all fell silent, flames rose into the sky...”
“Why are you telling me this now?” I demanded.
“So you’ll know to be careful.”

“...”
“A person’s nature doesn’t change so easily. It’s fine as long as his cruelty is directed at someone else… But if at some point it does come to point toward you, it’ll be that much harder to bear.” Jaegal Hwamu finished solemnly, “I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
Ё n̊ ùm̄ а̄.і̂ d
I didn’t respond, and then changed the subject. “So what did you call me for?”
He motioned for me to sit down. When I did, a servant put a plate down on the table.
“It’s a new recipe from Chuodang,” he explained.
It was a rice cake from a shop that I liked but was too far for me to stop by often. I sighed and picked up one of the rice cakes, my eyes widening after taking a bite.
“There’s tea too.” He poured out a cup and handed it to me.
Mmm. Jaegal Hwamu really does have good taste. The tea went perfectly with the rice cake.

“You’re not having any?” I asked.
“No, I’m fine.”
The boat rocked gently as it headed toward the center of the river. I saw a few other boats out here and there, their occupants enjoying some nightlife on the water.
Eating delicious snacks and drinking tea in the cool breeze melted away my displeasure at being dragged onto the boat, replacing it with disappointment.
“...It would’ve been nice to eat together.”
We’d gotten far enough now that I couldn’t see Yayul on the bank anymore.
Ê n̈ ů mа ..і̇ ḋ
When I picked up another rice cake, Jaegal Hwamu dipped his head and stole it right out of my hand. I looked at him in disbelief, and he curved his eyes in a smile. “Mmm, this one tastes even better. Must be because you gave it to me.”
I opened my mouth to say something, then just sighed and shook my head. “Why did you call me outside at this hour? Don’t tell me it was just to hang out on this boat.”

“Just give it a moment.”
I waited patiently, just as he said. A moment later, the boatman put out all the lights, and a mid-sized boat began to float toward us from the other side of the river.
I glanced over at it and couldn’t believe my eyes. Aunt Euiran...?What’s she doing here?Is she out night boating too?Wait, didn’t she leave for the Soh clan with the twins?
I looked around, but the twins were nowhere to be seen. Instead, I noticed some people who seemed to be trained in martial arts. None of them looked like they were from the Baengri clan.
W̄е̂ b̆n̆ о̇ v е̄ l̊ E n u m.а̂
Who is she with? I used natural force to enhance my hearing, and though at first I could barely hear anything over the sound of the river, the sound grew clearer as the boats got closer.
“To Unnam... Guiju... lost the trail.”
“Over ten years... that damned monk was there, what’s gotten into him all of a... Keep tracking him. Got it? Anyway, what about that medicine? Can he make it or not?”
“...He has sent word that he is unable to analyze it, so he will return it to you.”

Crack!
I flinched. The sound was ear-splitting with my hearing as amplified as it was.
Ẅеb́ ǹ o v̆ е́ l Е n úṁ а̊
Aunt Euiran seemed to be throwing a fit, screaming and hurling everything inside the boat. “He can’t even do that? The so-called greatest pharmacist on the continent? Figure it out one way or another! Find someone else if you have to!”
“My apologies.”
“Dear,” a third voice said.
Dear?
“My lady, please calm yourself.”
My lady? I’d heard that voice before. It was Aunt Euiran’s husband, the Soh clan head.

“It can’t be helped. You know your father has eyes everywhere. And so do others. We must be as careful as possible.”
“That damned old coot just won’t die,” Aunt Euiran sobbed. “How dare he send my sons to the Temple of Discipline! I should never have trusted anyone to begin with, not Mother, and not my brother.”
I looked back. In the darkness, Jaegal Hwamu smiled brightly, putting his index finger to his lips.
