Absolute Regression Chapter 90

Episode 90: A relationship is worse than not being close.

In fact, Hyeolcheondoma had a great feeling of disbelief until he told Geommugeuk that he would wait and see.

Geommuyang cos to see you first? Without taking care of other Mazon? That can’t be possible.

However, as if it were part of a dance performance, Geommuyang ca that night.

“What’s going on with you?”

Then, Geommuyang held up the liquor bottle he had brought.

“I ca here because I wanted to have a drink with the elderly. If I rember correctly, you liked this drink, right?”

“I managed to rember. “Now co here.”

Instead of letting him into the house, Hyeolcheondoma sat facing him on a large rock in the yard.

“It’s refreshing, so let’s have a drink here.”

“great.”

Hyeolcheon Doma brought Sibi a drink and a simple snack.

We t on the day Geommuyang returned, but we weren’t in a situation to look after each other at that ti.

Now, for the first ti, Hyeolcheondoma calmly observed Geommuyang’s prayers. Indeed, the prayer was different from when I left.

“I heard that you have overco the magic tool wall?”

“Thanks to your concern, I passed.”

“Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

“The leader must have been pleased.”

“yes.”

Hyeolcheondoma asked various questions about the magic tool wall, and Geommuyang answered as sincerely as she could. In the past, the two used to talk about martial arts.

Geommuyang liked talking about Hyeolcheon Doma and martial arts. Strangely enough, I connected well with him.

When the alcohol was almost empty, Hyeolcheondoma spoke first.

“I ca here because I wanted to ask you sothing. So feel free to ask.”

“Okay, then, like a man, I’ll ask without interrupting. Why did you choose your brother? “I think there must be a reason or a reason.”

“Of course there is.”

Hyeolcheon Doma thought for a mont about what to say and then answered like this.

“Your brother has the power to attract people’s hearts.”

Geommyang nodded silently.

“It has the power to attract hearts…”

I expected many answers and thought there might be answers like this. However, when she heard it in person, Geommuyang was overco with feelings of confusion and regret.

In his entire life, he had never heard of soone being attractive to him.

“I have never felt such power from Mugeuk. Oh, I’m not saying this to disparage Mugeuk. “I’m curious about what that feels like.”

“Of course you didn’t feel it. “There would have been no reason for Lee Gongja to be attracted to you, and wouldn’t you have had the luxury of accepting your younger brother’s feelings?”

“Yes, I did.”

Hyeolcheondoma poured a drink for Geommuyang, who nodded obediently.

“You are a great warrior. “He definitely has the qualities to beco a Heavenly Demon.”

Hyeolcheondoma truly thought so. Really, I would have continued to support Geommuyang if Geommugeuk hadn’t been acting like a crazy person.

“And yet you chose your younger brother, right?”

“There are tis in people’s lives when they are pushed around by a sudden wind.”

“I wish I was where the wind is heading. “I want to go down this path with my elders.”

The eyes toward Hyeolcheon Doma were shining. At least at this mont, Geommuyang was speaking the truth.

“Aren’t there many other mazons?”

“no. “I really need an older person.”

“The reason is?”

Although Mabul followed him like his right hand man, deep down in Geommuyang’s heart, he preferred Hyeolcheondoma.

“Because you are soone I really need.”

He gave no other reason.

I thought that Hyeolcheondoma might have been moved by this earnestness if he had not heard from Geommugeuk that Geommuyang would be visiting.

“May I give you so suggestions?”

“to do.”

“When I beco the Heavenly Demon, I will place you in the position of the First Demon.”

“Jeilmazon?”

“yes. We will create the best position among the Mazon that is recognized by the Cheonmajeon. Additionally, we will increase the size of the Namdo Bell to three tis its current size. We will lift the limit on the number of demons and significantly increase support for the Namdo sect. In addition, we will open Cheonmaseogak especially to the elderly. “You are welco to co and see it any ti.”

Geommuyang knew that Hyeolcheondoma liked books. In the Cheonmaseogak, not only military secrets were stored. There were many poems and literary works that were difficult to find in the market that Hyeolcheondoma would like to see.

Considering the fairness with other mazons, it was truly an unconventional proposal.

Of course, Hyeolcheondoma was not naive enough to believe everything he said.

Later, when you beco a Heavenly Demon, what will you do if you say, ‘The opposition from other Magons is stronger than I expected, so please make so concessions.’

He would even be older than he is now, turning into a toothless tiger.

“Mabul, will that person be upset if he hears it? “He must be confident that he will beco the first mazon.”

Of course, Geommuyang seed to have expected this reaction and was not embarrassed at all.

“I can’t help it. Although I respect and like Mr. Mabul, I think Mr. Doma is the most suitable person for that position. “You can tell the old man Mabul what I just said.”

It seems like he has faith that he will never say this to Mabul. Where on earth did this belief co from? Does he think of himself as such a noble person?

“I will consider your offer.”

“thank you.”

After toasting the last drink, Geommuyang stood up.

Geommuyang, who was about to leave, added the last thing.

“Elder, I will definitely beco the Heavenly Demon.”

After Geommuyang disappeared, Hyeolcheondoma took sothing out of his mouth. It was blood liquor given as a gift by Geommugeuk. He did not completely trust Geommuyang, who brought him alcohol.

Hyeolcheondoma said to himself.

“…Yes, there was a ti when I was sure of that.”

* * *

When Geommuyang returned, Mabul was waiting for him.

“Have you ever visited Hyeolcheon Doma?”

“This school is still the sa. “There are no secrets.”

“What kind of secret command is it that you confidently visit in broad daylight like that? “Why did you do that?”

“I went to appease him.”

“So?”

“He said he would think about it.”

“He is a traitor.”

Mabul deliberately used the strong word traitor.

“A person who changes his mind once will change his mind again. “You know, right?”

Then Geommuyang said sothing surprising.

“You were drinking, and you had poisoned blood in your mouth.”

“As long as that person doesn’t go crazy!”

Compared to the angry Mabul, Geommuyang was calm.

“It didn’t seem like they were intentionally trying to hide it. “I don’t trust you,” Thomas said.

“Please do not interact with any more.”

Even more surprising words ca out of Geommuyang’s mouth.

“Indeed, I offered to give the position of First Majon to the elderly Doma.”

For a mont, Mabul was startled. It was so unexpected that I froze for a mont.

I originally thought that the position of First Majon was mine.

So Mabul waited for the next words. First of all, I said this to appease, so don’t worry about it.

But Geommuyang didn’t say that.

‘So what is it? ‘Are you really going to give it to ?’

Mabul bit his molars without realizing it. You can tell if a person is clenching their molars if you look closely at them. Moreover, how could a master like Geommuyang not know? However, Geommuyang pretended not to see anything and did not react at all.

All kinds of thoughts ran through Mabul’s mind.

Was it a mistake? Or because you are insensitive? Or is it knowingly or intentionally?

I thought that maybe they were trying to punish for bringing in the Yunnan twins this ti.

Similar things have happened in the past. The most perplexing thing about monts like this is that Geommuyang is a more intelligent and smarter person than anyone else.

So, Mabul was always confused by the thought that it might not have been just a mistake, but an action with so intention.

And this is the worst part of all:

Not being able to express these feelings.

If it were anyone else, I would have already asked directly.

Why? Are you ignoring ? Don’t do this.

But those words did not co easily to Geommuyang. Is it because I started the relationship wrong? Or is there so kind of invisible wall that Geommuyang intended to erect between him and himself?

The relationship between Geommuyang and himself is one in which he suffers alone.

A relationship is worse than not being close…

In the end, Mabul sumd it up like always.

‘Yes, that can happen. ‘You’re still young.’

As an adult, I have to endure it. This is because the task he took on was to turn a energetic young man into a Heavenly Demon.

“We have to take care of our people too. “They’re all watching, too.”

You should understand that these words ca after many thoughts!

Did he read Mabul’s inner thoughts?

“I don’t have much affection for other mazons.”

“What do you an?”

“Why don’t you and Thomas co out and say who you support? But the rest of the Mazon are just watching. Will you be on the advantageous side later? “It’s so shallow.”

It would have been great if only Hyeolcheon Doma had been left out of those words. No, if he was really trying to deceive himself, he would have removed it intentionally. Being honest like this would be respecting yourself.

“But we still need them.”

“I only trust the elderly.”

Mabul and Geommuyang looked at each other and smiled.

Mabul felt relieved to so extent, but the pain in his heart did not go away.

‘So who are you giving the first mazon to?’

But in the end, neither Geommuyang nor Mabul said anything about him.

* * *

Hyeolcheon Doma ca to with a surprised face.

“You were right. The Archduke really ca to visit . “How on earth did you know?”

“This is a secret… I have the ability to see the future.”

“Seeing as how crazy you are still, I guess soone took your mind away with a spirit spell.”

I said with a smile at Hyecheon Doma’s joke.

“Didn’t I tell you? “My brother is naturally like that.”

“This ti, I felt sothing big again.”

Hyeolcheondoma hesitated for a mont in what he was going to say. But it was sothing I said anyway. Indeed, given his personality, it was sothing he would hesitate to say.

“I realized once again what kind of person you are to .”

“!”

I’m nervous. This was the first ti that Hyeolcheondoma spoke about in this way.

“What does it an?”

“No matter what temptation the Grand Duke tried, I didn’t listen. As you said, he made an unconventional offer. But it didn’t move at all.”

In my ear, I heard the door of his heart open a little more.

I was thankful for the Hyeolcheon cutting board. I was so thankful that he told that fact.

Yes, I have to say this to understand. Everyone acts like they know everything, but if you don’t tell them, you won’t know.

I imdiately pulled out my black magic sword and drew a line on the floor. And I drew a line a little further to the right than the line that Hyeolcheondoma drew before.

“Are you here now that you care for ?”

Although Hyeolcheondoma did not deny it, he also did not forget the warning.

“But you know what will happen if you do that, right?”

“What happens?”

“You will pay a heavy price. “Among the products that co with a price, the ones displayed at the front are the ones with the best results.”

Perhaps because he reads a lot of books, Hyeolcheondoma sotis uses expressions that don’t suit him. I really like this side of him.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“If what you said is true, the Archduke would also visit the leader of the Pungcheon Church. “Can I leave it as is?”

“I have to leave it.”

“Will that person be as strong as ?”

“Aren’t there two people instead?”

“Two people? who? Gowol?”

“The leader of the Pungcheon Church will definitely discuss the matter with Gao Yue.”

“Do you believe in Gao Yue?”

“yes.”

“You shouldn’t trust people so easily.”

I think that Hyeolcheondoma’s wariness includes a bit of jealousy. Since I had no intention of using that jealousy to win over Hyeolcheondoma’s heart, I obediently followed his words.

“Yes, I will always be on guard. Please take good care of your elders as well.”

“Of course. By the way, do you plan to just stay there while the Archduke is wandering around like this?”

“It’s been a while since I ca back, so I have to give up the lead at least once. “Let’s see how my brother turns out.”

I thought it was a good thing. My brother would put us all to the test.

“Let’s see if the ground hardens after the rain or if we end up rolling around naked in the mud.”
