WEST
The Western Pa Empire-The 17th year of the Sunginje Dynasty.
The Pa (波) Empire, 17th year of the Sunginje dynasty.
“Aaaaaah!”
After several gut-wrenching screams, the woman finally gave birth to the child.
“Madam, Madam! Look. A healthy baby boy.”
While the midwife was receiving the placenta, the maid talked excitedly as she washed the baby who had been crying softly.
“Your baby is already extremely beautiful. Oh my goodness, how wonderful. Ma’am, don’t lose your strength yet and take a look at the baby. I’ve already washed him. Here you go.”
The midwife reproached the female servant for chattering on.
“Stop your nonsense! Because of you, she will have used up more of her strength. Now go outside and tell him you saw that the baby is a boy.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The servant girl quickly got up and left the birthing room.
In the meantime, the midwife cleaned the rest of the mess and the mother forced herself to renew her vigor.
“My baby?”
“Here you are, My Lady. Would you like to hold your baby?”
Haengsubido, who was next to the midwife, could not hide her glow.
He was the eldest son.
He was also the first-born son born to the Gok clan, one of the five families of the catastrophe.
This small boy will do a lot of Important work in the future. She was deeply moved to receive such a person with her own hands.
Madam Gok, hot and wet with sweat, stretched out her slender wrists.
“Iri…… Come here.”
“Yes, Madam.”
The maid handed the child swaddled in cloth to Lady Gok. The baby knew his mother instinctively and stopped crying for the first time as soon as he was put in his mother’s arms.
“Baby, my son.”
Madam Gok smiled even amid the postpartum pains as she looked at the baby, whose white skin looked just like hers.
The baby opened his eyes and followed his mother.
“… …!”
Madam Gok’s face turned pale in an instant. It was impossible for those who stood around her not to notice.
“My Lady……? What’s wrong?”
“Oh, no……no! I must not be seeing right.”
Madam Gok closed her eyes tightly and pulled the child into her arms.
“It can’t be. He is my son!”
Madam Gok pretended hard not to see that even at first glance, the baby’s eyes which were facing her, were mixed with a blue light.
It couldn’t be, she must have seen it wrong! Madam Gok wanted to be wrong!
🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋
But when the child grew up and passed five years old, no one could deny that the child’s eyes were mixed with blue. The Tohwa Gok main family gathered over the child and spent the day and night discussing his fate.
The Gaju took the name of Jinsung from the child, which he had been given as the eldest son, and took the son from his mother and imprisoned him.
The child, who was now called Heun (痕) instead of his original name, had to live under the yoke of being the ‘criminal of the family‘ from that day forth.
🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋 🜋
A long time ago, on a day in the 11th year of the Wonje Dynasty (元帝) after the founding of Pa,
In the castle built by the Gok clan, a madman (狂人) named Yeo-Heun, with the surname Gok, destroyed the Imperial Palace he had built with his own hands under the orders of the Original Emperor, and buried the spirit (變) of his life beneath it. It is said that the madman, who on that day brought the sin of treason to his family, was also born with a glimpse of blue light in his black eyes.
The blue was karma that the soul could not release.
T/N: From here on out I’ll be using Yeo-Heun for the previous incarnation, and Heun for the current incarnation. Note that in the book, there is no difference in his name.
