Sadly, I love you.
20, Pungan (1)



승철
I heard the Pungan area has been settled. What is the exact current status?


준휘
I have ordered the tribal chief, Myeongho, to keep him captive.


준휘
Since the general of the northern region of Yeon is captured, planned command is impossible,


준휘
It is not yet exact how many reinforcements will be deployed.


승철
.. In that case.

Seungcheol continued walking and spoke.


승철
Let General Eun-woo lead 1-2 and command the Pungan region.


승철
1-1 stops by Pung-an and then travels with me. I have somewhere to go.


은우
I will obey your command.

I wonder how much further I had walked.


승철
I see it over there.


장병 서명호
Your Majesty, I am deeply humbled.


승철
Is it the rumored Northern General?

Seungcheol faced the face of the man Myeongho had been holding captive.

After staring for a few seconds, he took a step back.


승철
Minhyeok, the Northern General?


민혁
....


승철
From now on, I will send you back to the country.

Everyone looked bewildered at Seungcheol's words.

After all the trouble we went to to keep them, sending them back? Anyone would think that wasn't normal.

And the thought quickly vanished at Seungcheol's subsequent words.


승철
instead,



승철
I'm going with you.


승철
You guide them.



승철
Up to where the King of Yeon is.

Minhyuk flinched at the sudden glimpse of Seungcheol's madness.

It was merely a fleeting glimpse through the pupils,

As the shadow of an even greater madness, hidden between Seungcheol's heart, shone,

Minhyuk was suppressed and could not do anything.

Just what happens in the future,

I was just afraid.


은우
...

The place was still windy.


승철
Cha Eun-woo, what are you doing?


은우
Ah, Your Majesty. Haven't you left yet?


승철
It's still under maintenance.


승철
We've reached our limit sending the injured back to Chaehyangseong.


승철
They say there will be a shortage of manpower.


은우
... I suppose so.

As expected, Eunwoo was lethargic.

The reason is probably obvious.

As if he knew that, Seungcheol


승철
Oh, right.

Very slightly,


승철
This Pungan region.



승철
It was Jeon Won-woo's hometown, right?

He irritated Eun-woo.



은우
......


승철
.. Pfft, don't be too scared.

Seungcheol smiled slightly.

Was it mockery, or was it a pure laugh?


승철
No matter how much I scream and struggle to die,


승철
Seo Yeo-ju will never die.


은우
yes....?


승철
It's time to go.



승철
Make sure to keep it safe.

Seungcheol left a meaningful smile,

He started moving, leading the soldiers and following Minhyeok.
