Love Letter From The Future - Chapter 781
781 – 9. There is not a single day when this does not happen (31)
The area near the top of Cheongeom Mountain (天劍山) was always quiet.
Not only were most of the facilities located halfway up the hill, but there were few visitors due to the high altitude. There won’t be many people who stop by this place without special business.
It was the same for me.
Unless you decide to run, it was a distance that would take more than two hours for a round trip. No matter how physically strong you were, time was always a waste.
Nevertheless, there was one reason why I climbed the mountain every day.
‘Great Master’.
He was a swordsman living in seclusion at Cheongeomsan Mountain and the leader of the mysterious sect ‘Sword Circle’. I was visiting her ‘grave of her sword’ to meet her.
The reasons were diverse.
Great Master was a senior who devoted himself to the path of the sword for more than several decades. He also had strong skills, so it was natural to want to ask for his advice. In addition, I was also curious about the old relationship with ‘Swordsmith’.
However, today’s purpose was more urgent.
I didn’t know that Cheongeomsan Mountain would soon burn down.
It wasn’t anxiety or doubt. Last night, I received a clear answer from the monster disguised as my sister.
‘Greed’ was the disposition to always do what you wanted to do.
Even if I told a trivial lie, there was no way I would talk nonsense about my goal. I knew that better than anyone else.
Because all of Perchus’ bloodlines are like that.
As always, the old woman was watching the countless sword images on the cliff with her back turned.
“Grand master!”
There was no reply.
Because it was a treatment I was already used to, I chose to approach Chaegeun a little more instead. That’s when I stood behind the Great Beom a few steps away.
At last a calm voice greeted me.
“Is Moore in such a hurry? “It’s been less than a day since we broke up.”
“Cheongeomsan Mountain may be dangerous.”
The old woman didn’t react much to my serious tone.
He simply swept down the crack in front of his eyes with his hand. It was a huge crack that split the ‘Grave of the Sword’ in half.
So I had to persuade him again.
“It’s not a joke. Yesterday, I contacted a high-ranking member of the Dark Church…….”
“Is this something that can be prevented?”
I was momentarily speechless at the unexpected retort.
When I frowned slightly, the old woman continued speaking without even looking at me.
“I guess it doesn’t exist.”
“But at least some preparation is possible. Requesting reinforcements…….”
“If there was enough time, you wouldn’t have even had a chance to hear the information. “How much is left?”
Once again, this was a correct point.
Actually, I also expected this. Nevertheless, the reason this fact was not immediately announced was because of concerns about confusion.
Unnecessary agitation meant unnecessary risk factors.
This was the reason why I visited Daesabaom as soon as morning dawned. Shouldn’t the head of the organization be the first to hear and make a decision on an issue this important?
But what if it’s already too late?
At least it would have been better than suffering without knowing. With that belief, I decided to prioritize conveying information as much as possible.
“The exact date is unknown. “It wouldn’t be surprising if an attack came right away.”
“There will be bloodshed again.”
At the same time, the old woman let out a small sigh.
It meant that I wasn’t feeling completely comfortable. But the response was so smooth.
I was on the verge of biting my lip because I couldn’t understand it at all.
Boom!
A very vague feeling as if heavy drinking was passing by my ears.
My eyes widened as I sensed something strange. Did you really come right away?
I wasn’t the only one who noticed this. Finally, the great instructor let out a long breath and closed his eyes tightly.
“Go first.”
That alone was enough.
The two figures equivalent to ‘Master’ had just reached a consensus of opinion. It was clear that something unusual had occurred.
Even so, I couldn’t get off the ground right away.
“What about Master Daebum?”
Although the detailed power cannot be measured, Daebeom was also a strong man who was on the verge of becoming a ‘master’.
Even if you combine all three instructors, who can be said to be the next best force in the Heavenly Sword Mountain, it is impossible to replace them.
It was obvious that joining the front line would be helpful.
However, the old woman was the guardian of Heavenly Sword Mountain.
“I will stay here. Since you don’t know what the enemy is aiming for… “I must protect the ‘Heavenly Sword’ here.”
“Does it exist?”
“I don’t know.”
I think we’ve had similar questions and answers before.
The old woman’s answer was the same.

“But I am the main criminal of the ‘Sword Circle’. I guess I should do my duty… “Like you.”
No further conversation was necessary.
Not only could I not break the will of the great criminal, I did not want to break it either. The duty as head of an organization with thousands of years of history was not a light one.
Just before turning my back and leaving.
“Be careful.”
Looking at the empty sky, the old woman sighed.
“I feel something unusual.”
That’s right.
First of all, I was someone who had one foot in the door to becoming a ‘master’, and it would be very difficult to subdue me with the traditional seven sins. Nevertheless, the Dark Church carried out an attack on Cheongeomsan Mountain.
It meant that something was possible.
The unfortunate truth is that, even if that were the case, there is no way out for me.
I immediately turned around and started running. Leaving the dumbfounded old woman alone.
**
Seria Yurdina was a noblewoman.
Although it is said that all worldly names have been abandoned now, the past has not all been bleached. No matter how much you were born in a concubine, special treatment was natural as long as you were born with the name ‘Yurdina’.
In other words, she never had to get her hands wet in her entire life.
So, Seria was now experiencing an unfamiliar experience.
“I’m a little thirsty.”
“Yes, yes…” ….!”
Every time Delphine, lying on her hospital bed, said something, Ceria was so shocked that she was busy taking something from her. At the time it was like now, it was water.
I never thought the day would come when I would have to nurse the sick.
It was also in a form that was almost market-like. Even worse, the other person was my sister whom I wanted to kill so much.
Seria’s mind had long since been unable to accept reality. Only a sense of duty or guilt was guiding that body.
The reason she ended up in this situation was simple.
Sparring two days ago.
Recently, Seria was experiencing confusion about her identity. She thought she would definitely forget, but her first love, whom she could never forget, appeared before her eyes. Moreover, next to her is Delphine Jurdina, who can be said to be her love-hate relationship.
So she got excited.
If we were to be specific, it was Delphine who contributed to her cause. Because she continued to provoke her with her words. But no matter how much she did, there was a line that should not be crossed.
I still remembered it clearly. On the first day Ian and his group came to Cheongeomsan Mountain, a conversation I overheard from afar.
No matter who heard it, it was a hint that Delphine was pregnant. However, during the sparring, he lost his temper and even sat down on the pregnant woman’s stomach and struck her with his fist.
It was a terrible sin.
What if something goes wrong with my nephew in the future? That child is also the child of first love.
Just thinking about it made Seria’s body tremble.
“Her shoulders seem a bit stiff…….”
“Lord, would you like me to massage you?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m bored, but I don’t feel well… ….”
“W-what can I do for you?!”
To be honest, this is the first time in my life I’ve heard that being bored doesn’t make you feel good.
Seria was willing to grant the request without saying anything. It meant that she didn’t have enough space in her heart.
Of course, Delphine was not one to notice this.
She had been watching Ceria’s restless appearance for a while. Eventually, she took a drink of the water that Seria had brought, and then said something in a bored voice.
“…… “Seria.”
“Yes? Even if you feel uncomfortable again…….”
“Are you okay?”
At some point, Delphine was holding a small book in her hands. I brought this book to relieve boredom, but it also helped me hide my gaze.
So that it is difficult to read what is inside.
For an instant, Seria’s body suddenly stiffened. Delphine was leaving behind her bookshelf, looking somewhat unhappy on her face.
A fluttering sound blows in the silence.
“This is our West.”
Seria’s body stiffened as she flinched. Her face clearly showed her embarrassment. First of all, my pupils were shaking.
For a long time, the girl just pursed her lips. Open, close. Until Delphine finally added a few words.
“We were in a relationship where we both died and couldn’t live like that, right? “At one point, he lunged at me as if he was going to kill me, and now he’s even holding my bottle head.”
“That’s… ….”
“I want you to answer honestly. “If you don’t, I’ll be very upset.”
Seria’s head was lowered. A gloomy shadow appears on his face, and soon a small voice comes out.
“…… “There is no such thing as qualifications.”
At the same time, Ceria blatantly avoided Delphine’s gaze. The only way she could express her emotions was by intermittently chewing her lip.
Delphine sighed and watched the scene from the corner of her eye.
“I can’t hear you well? Again.”
“You have no right to do that!”
At the teasing request, Seria ended up crying and ended up screaming.
Delphine looked at her younger sister who was starting to fuss and smiled.
“Qualifications? “What qualifications?”
“Well, so…” I am… I’ve already caused a lot of trouble…….”
“What kind of special story is that? You’ve always been like that. From long ago until now.”
Ah, the sound of teeth clenching rang out.
Ceria’s eyes became somewhat harsh, but Delphine’s attitude remained relaxed.
And then the book turns another page again.
“My mother too… Yes, actually… ….”
The end of Seria’s words, which she was muttering, became blurred. She looked at her sister closing her eyes tightly, as if she was having a hard time spitting it out with her own mouth.
Delphine spoke in an extremely calm tone.
“You killed my mother.”
Seria’s trembling stopped. Instead, the emotion that appeared in her eyes was pure fear.
It meant that it was a sin that was painful to even hear about. On the other hand, there was not even the slightest crack in Delphine’s expression.
“So what? “What are you saying?”
“I don’t even know that… ….”
“What difference will it make if I know?”
It was an extremely uneventful interrogation. If someone were to see it, they would think he was asking what he ate that morning and how he was doing.
But the content contained within was enough to push Ceria into a corner.
“Seria, you are Yurdina.”
It was a simple yet unwavering tone. Delphine spoke quietly as if she was telling the obvious truth.
“After all, Yurdina must do whatever it takes to win. You should only consider other people’s circumstances after taking care of yourself first… But you’ve always been like this since you were little.”
Ceria just bowed her head without saying a word. She didn’t even know what she was thinking.
“Even if something was taken from me, you just cried and didn’t protest at all…” It’s still like that. I thought about my situation arbitrarily and tried to take care of myself… You’re losing money like this. “Just grab my bowl.”
“But, my sister is pregnant now…” … !”
“I didn’t do it.”
Eh, and.
Seria’s eyes widened. Delphine smiled brightly as she received her bewildered gaze.
“Who said you were pregnant?”
“Yeah, but… Definitely morning sickness…….”
“Oh, that? It was disgusting. “Have you been mistaken again?”
At first, I was in denial.
“Then, surely…” … ?”
Next is enlightenment.
“Yes, you were just looking at me needlessly. What do you think, does this sister’s advice feel a little heavy now?”
Finally, her face turned red.
“aaah!”
Ceria threw her hair wildly and let out a scream. She immediately jumped up from her seat and her blue eyes were fierce.
“You lost money by worrying! I really, really, really hate it! You!”
“Really? I love you, Ceria… “One way or another, you are my ugly potato.”
What can she say about Taeyeon’s weak response?
Finally, Seria let out a humming sound and turned away. Just before leaving Delphine’s residence.
“Don’t be clumsy, Seria… “Because you are Yurdina.”
At her advice again, Seria’s steps stopped for an instant.
If it had been before, I would have asked who ‘Seria’ was. But she can’t do that now.
So the girl hesitated. I’m getting a taste for the language that wells up in my heart and the language that’s been thoroughly refined in my mind.
Finally, just before her lips softened.
Boom!
An explosion of alcohol hit Cheongeomsan Mountain. Bringing screams and flames.
This was the start of the fire.
