Chapter 99 Namgung’s Name
Namgung Sol’s mother, Namgung Si-hee, had a lover.
She wanted to live because she loved him. She dreamed of a life together.
When the Clan Head died and the Sword Family Blood Feud was clearly lost, Namgung Si-hee began to search for a way to survive.
And a chance was given to her.
A chance to protect her loved ones, at the cost of betraying her own blood.
“Hand over the Namgung Clan survivors. In return, I will spare those you love.”
It was an opportunity personally guaranteed by Dokgo Wol, the Clan Head of the Dokgo Clan.
Namgung Si-hee took the hand Dokgo Wol offered.
That was how the Namgung Clan crumbled from within.
Dokgo Wol kept their promise. Namgung Si-hee was free. She lived with her beloved, turning a blind eye to the sin she had committed.
She gave birth to a child, a daughter. Hoping she would live as a common folk, she named her Sol. Jeong Sol.
Then, her husband died. He succumbed to illness. It was a common occurrence. A human body, unversed in proper Martial Arts, was incredibly frail; dying from a seemingly minor illness was hardly surprising.
From that moment, Namgung Si-hee taught her daughter a Cultivation Method. Excluding Martial Arts like Sword Art, she only allowed her to cultivate Internal Energy for health.
Please, don’t leave my side meaninglessly like your father.
But Namgung Si-hee didn’t know.
That it would be herself, not her daughter, who would leave the family first.
And as her daughter sorted through her mother’s belongings, she uncovered a secret.
