Chapter 129: Harp Case (14)
He was right.
It was self-evident that he was pierced with an invisible arrow.
It was Baek Eon and Song Ok who looked into his wound and treated it, and it was Hyo Wol who almost got killed when he was trapped inside the harp box.
But why did Seol Young fall down?
I am sorry.
Seol Young got up right away. Baek Eon brushed off the dirt from Seol Youngs clothes and lowered his voice,
So this harp box killed the official?
Yes.
Seol Young replied.
I will tell you now. It was not a coincidence that the White Tiger Troops were entrusted with the ancestral ritual. I saw a strange vision when I was dreaming during the festival.
Is that why you ran out so suddenly? And worked overtime?
I apologize. I was so shocked that I felt so lost. I just thought that I had to respond quickly to save my hyungs. But in the end, I couldnt do anything
Seol Young sighed and looked at Zaha.
Phew
Hyo Wol sighed.
I really thought that was the end, I couldnt believe that the White Tiger Spirit Troopss Third would die like that, but the High Governor suddenly rushed over, and
He blocked the arrow shot by the Second hyung.
He couldnt bear to say that, so he lowered his head.
Thank you for saving me.
Baek Eon, Song Ok, and Seol Young also bowed their heads.
Instead of trying to answer, he moved his injured arm around.
I can still use this.
Still, it would be hurting and uncomfortable for a while.
Baek Eon said,
Im not sure what to do because the High Governor suffered instead of us as a result of our lack of understanding.
No.
Zaha shook his head.
No matter how proud you are, your troops or the other Hwarangs couldnt have stopped this. I was the only one who could stop it.
You mean to say that it was that strong?
Hyo Wool was a bit taken aback by Song Oks question.
Baek Eon, however, seemed to have guessed it to some extent.
But Song Ok was not like that.
His personality was simple and easygoing. He wasnt the type to keep unpleasant thoughts in mind for a long time.øv€lß1n.
He didnt pay much attention to the fact that he had shot the top of the harp box and that blood flowed from there.
Do not say anything.
Hyo Wol shrugged.
It was like some amazing archer had shot the arrow to pierce the target. I dont even want to think about it anymore.
Do not think about it.
Seol Young said that right away, and he looked at Hyo Wols hand that was holding the righteous weapon that he had picked up from inside the harp box.
Show me that.
He asked him and looked at it. The small, plum blossom-shaped weapon no longer shone.
There was no trace that it had sucked up the owners blood. It now looked the same as when Seol Young first took it out of Hyo Wols room.
It felt strange.
It was as if Hyo Wols blood had completely vanished.
Was that normal? Well, Hyo Wol wasnt the one shot by the arrowit was Zaha.
Then the blood that was smeared onto the harp box during the festival day?
Did it turn into Zahas blood?
If Zaha was hit by the arrow instead inside the harp box, what happened to Zaha during the time of the festival?
One person couldnt be in two places. If they went back and looked at the past, would Zaha and Hyo Wol vanish from the festival?
His head felt so confused with those strange thoughts.
He couldnt go back to the past now, so he wouldnt know the answer either.
Well, this is what you should know.
Zaha spoke.
Take it slow. You never know what will happen, when, and where. You need to be careful in the future.
Yes, High Governor.
Seol Young didnt answer as he was lost in thought, so Hyo Wol patted him on the shoulder a couple of times.
It seems I havent said anything to you yet.
This solves one question.
Seol Young looked at his right wrist, and it also seemed to be changing. When he broke the harp box, he did feel a strong shock.
He was about to take off his sleeve and untie it, but then Zaha said,
Wait
He paused for a second and frowned.
What is it?
I spoke too much, so it hurts.
Seol Young flinched.
The man got injured while saving his hyung. He couldnt help but think about that fact again.
Shouldnt you head home and lie down without pushing your body to the limit?
Right.
After moving his shoulders a couple of times, Zaha put one hand in front of him. Seol Young stared at him, not knowing what to do.
?
Get up.
Ah, yes.
Seol Young helped him up.
Should we borrow a palanquin or a carriage?
What are you talking about? Is this something that I can go around talking about?
Zaha walked out of the palace on foot, and he walked as if he were fine. And the injury wasnt obvious through his robe.
He pretended it was nothing and walked home.
The married couple came out and greeted them.
Did the ritual go well?
Yes.
Zaha didnt show his injury even in front of them.
Was he really not going to take care of it? Seol Young was puzzled but still followed him without saying a word.
Zaha calmly entered the main hall like usual.
Could it be that he was truly fine?
It didnt look like anything serious, so he even had that thought. But of course, it wasnt like that.
The moment they reached his room,
This is it.
Zaha laid down on the chair as if he would collapse, and then he said,
Ah.
And then he got up.
The wound hurts.
Then?
A cushion.
Seol Young looked around the room.
Here.
He brought some cushions and put them behind Zaha.
This is better.
He said, stretching himself.
Water.
You didnt say anything to the couple, though.
He thought so, but he couldnt do anything about it now.
Yes.
Seol Young quickly went to fetch water.
The water bottle was filled with clean water that the couple gave him.
Seol Young poured water into a glass and brought it to Zaha.
Here.
He drank the water and wanted to lie down again.
I can live a little longer now. It isnt something a dead person should say, though.
And he closed his eyes.
I cannot get used to being hurt for the first time after eight years.
Get some rest.
No.
Zaha opened his eyes again.
It is playing with other peoples thoughts. This is actually the most important moment.
