GMLS Ch 0 – Prologue
by soapaHow on earth did it come to this? No matter how I wracked my brain, clutching my head, I couldn’t figure it out.
Yihwa was currently on his way to meet ‘the master who hastily returned to the palace and became emperor for the sake of marrying me’. ……Even writing it out in letters, I wonder what on earth this means.
Yeo Yullyeong said softly.
“If you are still not resolved in your heart, you may simply leave from here.”
“He is… No, sir.”
“Is that so.”
Yeo Yullyeong didn’t ask further. To be precise, he couldn’t. In the next moment, shadows scattering an extraordinary aura appeared.
Yihwa, who had reflexively placed a hand on the hilt of his sword, paused upon confirming their identities. They were the Milyeonggun, who had flown from the imperial palace.
“The Milyeonggun? Why are you here…”
They, who had likewise identified Yihwa, exchanged glances. Without a word of explanation, the Milyeonggun bowed their heads once, then swiftly hooked Yihwa’s arms, one on each side.
“Huh?”
And just like that, they snatched him up and flew to the imperial palace.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa?!”
Yeo Yullyeong made a visor with his hand over his brow.
“They say in Geumseong, they’d even cut off your nose in broad daylight, but I never imagined they would snatch away my son.”
My son, my foot!
“You knew, didn’t you? Minister?!”
Yihwa, already far in the distance, screamed his lungs out. Yeo Yullyeong, with his characteristic languid smile, fanned himself gently with his folding fan.
“I had no idea.”
Wi Joonghyuk and Monghyul, who had run over with wide eyes, passed Yeo Yullyeong and chased after Yihwa.
“…Is what I would say, and you would hesitate.”
Click. The folding fan snapped shut. His eyes were now fixed on Yihwa, who had become a mere dot, and the two warriors who, thinking he had been abducted by some ruffian, were chasing after him in a panic.
