Chapter 213 An Unnecessary Loyalty

Proofread

‘I made a mistake.’

That was Lee Wanyong’s first thought when he heard Choi Seulgi speak. He had heard Jung Hayeon call Blood Dagger a few times in the village.

There was a change in Choi Seulgi’s demeanor, and she seemed to recognize it. Lee Wanyong turned around to see Jang Ye Ri look curious.

“It won’t be difficult... but I want to know the reason.”

Lee Wanyong quickly replied to Jang Ye Ri’s remark.

“Ah, people from Earth sometimes want to find their past relations. It’s probably one of them.”

“Mr. Lee is right.”

“I see... as I was born here, I did not know that. I will grant you that favor. You can wait here as this will take time.”

“I am grateful for your help.”

Lee Wanyong felt a shiver down his spine as he felt something was strange with her. He was growing rigid when Jang Ye Ri put down her teacup. He immediately felt better, as Jang Ye Ri was now staring at Choi Seulgi with interest.

“Do you have anything to say to him?”

“No, no. He just looked similar to someone I used to know... Could you let me know where I can stay?”

“I will guide you myself.”

“Thank you. Do you want to have a meal together?”

“Let’s.”

They reached an agreement easily, but Lee Wanyong could not help but feel something was off as the two women went out. It was because he thought Choi Seulgi was looking for Blood Dagger.

The first thing Lee Wanyong thought of was personal gain out of all things. He knew Choi Seulgi’s reputation, as he took care not to be isolated from the outside world in the village.

‘Someone comparable to the North Queen.’

‘Someone divine who serves the North Queen.’

‘A talented thief.’

Choi Seulgi was bright, kind, well-liked, and had given up everything for the North Queen. She was credited with 40% of the North Queen’s achievements in all areas, from dungeon conquests to one-on-one battles.

He felt a blade slide through his stomach, and pain spread all over his body. Someone was also messing with his brain. He felt like he was becoming a heap of meat, but the weirdest part was that he was seeing all this from an outside view. The pain was real, but he was sane. Also, he could not shout out for help.

Choi Seulgi’s voice rang again.

-This is a secret between us. All right?

“Ahhhhhhh!”

Lee Wanyong jumped out of the bed with a shout. He breathed in and out and saw that his body was whole.

“What the fuck...”

He was drenched in a cold sweat, and Lee Wanyong looked over his body to check again.

“What is it?”

Park Hancheol, another strong one from the East, had come to check on what was happening. Lee Wanyong murmured in a tiny voice.

“Where is Choi Seulgi...?”

“She is still with Jang Ye Ri. It seemed that they have much to talk about.”

“Re... really?”

Lee Wanyong saw that only ten minutes had passed and could not fathom what had happened.

‘Damn...’

Park Han Cheol spoke up.

“It seems you have a problem. I will call a priest.”

“No, no. It’s quite all right.”

Lee Wanyong spoke after considering the danger.

“Is there a message from the South?”

“A specific date.”

“Then... when can I?”

“You can return to the village soon.”

Lee Wanyong sighed. He wanted to get away as soon as possible. He wanted to go back, where he would at least be safe under Blood Dagger’s protection.
