He didn’t try to deny it, asking “What are you talking about?” After all, it was an undeniable truth. Any forced excuse would only expose his weaknesses.
Namgung-woo accepted the situation and spoke.
“May I ask how you knew?”
“There’s no need for such formalities. As I said before, I have no doubt that you are the one we should serve as the Clan Head of our main family.”
Namgung Baek began his explanation and immediately answered.
“Since the Clan Head asks, I, Baek, shall answer. Initially, I was unaware. I surmised you were a descendant born to the vanished Sword Emperor after he met another woman.”
