A Kind Goblin's Bird

Chapter 25

A Wish That Can’t Come True

Young-young came into the concubinage and admired it. It was a beautiful place. It was elegant to see the many pavilions harmonized with the red and green trees. It was like Sa Heon-yeong.

No, it was not like Lord Heon-yeong.

As she went into the inner part of the concubinage, Young-young came to think that this beautiful place was very different from Sa Heon-yeong.

It smelled of death. The smell of old deaths. It smells like a graveyard she once visited. Why is it that these deaths are felt here, where everything was kept in its place? She felt like quiet ghosts were floating in the air.

“Has anyone died nearby?”

Young-young hugged Sa Heon-yeong by the neck and whispered softly in his ear.

Sa Heon-yeong muttered, “Well,” and looked around once. As if wondering what Young-young was looking at. Then he lowered his voice and asked.

“Why are you asking that?”

“It smelled of death.”

“Smell of death?”

“Hmm. The air is mixed with death. Like a grave.”

“Oh,” said Young-young, clapping her hands. And she asked in a low voice to Sa Heon-yeong.

“Is this place built over a tomb?”

According to the mother’s saying, if you build a house on the grave, the ghost will wander forever. At what time did she say that ghosts float around? Oh, if there is a cold…… Was it like this? She said that even in places where people keep getting killed. A place like a battlefield.

Sa Heon-yeong smiled with a puzzled face and shook his head, and Young-young asked, “Then, was it originally a battlefield?” At that, he seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, and then he grinned.

“In a sense, yes.”

Sa Heon-yeong’s words were sometimes difficult. Young-young tilted her head. In a sense, what does that mean? If yes, then yes, and if not, why not? Young-young finds it difficult to understand.

Sa Heon-yeong began to climb the stairs. A lotus flower was carved on the stone steps leading up to the very ornate and large pavilion. Even though it was carved in stone, it was vivid. How did they engrave it like this? Young-young was amazed.

After Sa Heon-yeong had finished climbing the stairs, he lowered Young-young. When Young-young came down to the floor, her accessories made a clear sound of clang clang, and sound. Sa Heon-yeong looked down at Young-young.

A long-sleeve with a fine color that looks like a persimmon. The wide sleeves were meticulously engraved with fallen leaves, and the long sleeves lined with different thicknesses of silk spread beautifully. Considering Sa Heon-yeong’s preference for not showing her upper chest, a long cloth tied to her upper chest.

They applied red rouge and drew her eyebrows a little longer than usual. The headdress on her forehead made her look a little different. The one applied to her face was beautiful and white, making Young-young, who had already pale skin, look more like a glass to the world.

“Young-ah, have a good trip.”

At Sa Heon-yeong’s words, Young-young’s eyes widened.

“Aren’t you going together?”

“I have to attend.”

Young-young blinked her eyes. The maids said that Sa Heon-yeong was a very busy person. He was promoted to the position of Inspector General, but they said that it was an important position. Young-young smiled softly.

She actually hates this beautiful place.

“Then, will we meet later?”

I don’t like your mother either. I don’t even like your brother, the Crown Prince. They’re all scary. It’s strangely scary here.

Young-young swallowed everything she wanted to say. It seemed she shouldn’t have said it. Because she only needs to sing once anyway. She smiled brightly so that Sa Heon-yeong, who had to go to work, will not be bothered.

“I have work. Court Lady Yoon will take you there. See you at home.”

At home…….

Young-young was sad, but she nodded her head without showing it off.

“Yes.”

Sa Heon-yeong hugged her once, and then she let go. He immediately started going down the stairs. Young-young stared at his back. She could see his shadow hanging down the stairs. She had a strange feeling.

What is this feeling…….

Something is ominously going on in her mind. It’s a voice talking in her heart, but no matter how much she listens, she can’t hear what it was saying. Strange. It was when Young-young frowned.

“Greetings, Queen Mun.”

A woman named Court Lady Yoon suddenly came out and knelt down on her knees. After that, many court ladies knelt down, saying, “Greetings Queen Mun.”

“Ah, right, hmm…….”

She shouldn’t be polite, right? “Yes,” she said, then hurriedly changed it to an informal tone, and Young-young nodded her head. Her heart was heavy.

***

When the Empress entered the audience room, she watched the tiny, insignificant-looking girl knelt on her knees, standing up with a bunch of things that were not acceptable to her, saying, “Greetings Queen Mother.”

Hmph. The Empress snorted as she sat down on her own seat. The girl that Heon-yeoung likes quite a bit. The Empress didn’t want to allow the girl who went to the palace to stand up so easily when she was just illegitimate children of commoners, so she had her knelt down on her knees and just looked down at her.

Not long ago, Heon-yeong annihilated this girl’s family. It seems that this girl was being abused a little in the house, and he was angry to the end. He caught the family growing herbs and killed them all. Herbs? Huh, herbs? Who cares about that? How could Heon-yeong, who is equivalent to the king’s hand and the general of inspectors, be free enough to intervene in a herb or other incident? It’s obviously because of this bitch.

Where are you so pretty?

No matter how carefully she opens it, she can’t find any pretty corners. A terribly skinny body looks like a lowly born, and a pale skin looks like a sick person. An overly small body makes it doubtful whether it will be possible to give birth, and a blank eye is not at all as intelligent as an idiot.

Where the hell do you like it?

Before meeting this girl, Heon-yeong gave priority to his mother’s words. Although he was a goblin, he always cared for the mercy of his mother, who didn’t abandon nor kill him. Of course, she had always been educating him for fear that Heon-yeong would run into her son or herself without knowing his place. She made it clear to the prince, too, and the prince cleverly established who had the upper hand over the goblin Heon-yeong when he was young. After that, Heon-yeong became obedient.

But the rebellion is about to come again. Because of this one bitch.

“I heard you sing.”

The empress followed her words without allowing her to stand up, and the court ladies were perplexed. But they were well-trained and no one showed their surprise.

“Yes, Queen Mother.”

Young-young raised her head as she answered. This empress is also faintly smelling like death. Why? Why is the splendid pavilion where such a beautiful woman lives …… ?

“They say that if I sleep while listening to your song, my wishes can come true, is it true?”

“I do not know.”

Young-young shook her head fluttering at her. She really didn’t know. When a high-ranking person like a castellan pays a lot of money to sleep while listening to her songs, she can only guess that there is probably something good about it. When they slept listening to a song, she didn’t know what was there.

“Insolent thing!”

When the empress yelled at her, Young-young shrugged her shoulders in surprise. Young-young couldn’t understand why the beautiful woman was angry.

“What are you going to do with that insolence.”

The Empress pointed her finger at her Young-young. The trinkets on her nails made a sound. At that time.

“Empress.”

Court Lady Yoon carefully intervened in the empress’s words. Her fearsome gaze fell down, but Court Lady Yoon got down on her knees and said.

“Forgive this lowly subject. Even if the punishment comes later, it will not be late. However, if her body is ill, I am concerned that her little talent will be affected.”

“I know what you mean, stop.”

The empress’s fingers were withdrawn again. Young-young stared blankly at her fingers.

Oh, it feels familiar. Every time Young-young was beaten with the rod, she didn’t know why she was being beaten. She just get beaten. All she could do was be beaten helplessly, as the beatings only increased when she resisted or cried. It was a similar atmosphere back then.

I’m going to be beaten today.

Young-young became pale. Although she thought being beaten was not a big deal, she didn’t like being beaten because she had been with Sa Heon-yeong for a few days. Sweat dripped from her hands. She wondered if Sa Heon-yeong would come and take her out. This beautiful woman is Sa Heon-yeong’s mother. When she looked at her face, she could see Sa Heon-yeong. So he won’t take her out from here. Wasn’t he the one who brought her here in the first place?

Her heart aches.

Young-young clenched her fingers.
