Chapter 129
One day before the confrontation with Kwangseung.
“I envy your mane.”
“……what do you mean?”
“Or not.”
Namgung Hyuk frowned at the blunt words.
“It’s just that your swords seem to have a confused mindset.”
“I mean the sword will.”
“You’re not as good as you were at the sword circle.”
There was no venomous speech like this. Namgung Hyuk couldn’t figure out what he wanted to say at the moment.
“If you want to challenge me, say exactly why.”
“Your sword is shaking. You must have a complicated head. Especially since you saw Gali’s secret dance.”
Spot on. I tried not to show it, but it showed.
“Are you going to teach him a lesson?”
“No need to teach him. He knows what he’s doing.”
Nam Gung-hyeok frowned at that.
“Stop spinning your wheels and tell me. What do you want to tell me, your lack of a sword or…….”
“Mrs. Tang.”
At the mention of his mother, Namgung Hyuk’s expression stiffened. His guard is up.
“You, me, and Gali. The relationship between the three of us is complicated.”
“What do you mean by suddenly bringing up my mother?”
“Gali seems to have gotten along well with Madame Mo Yong.”
As he spoke, the relationship between Namgungal and Lady Mo Yong grew stronger. There was no longer any talk of the rivalry for the title. From then on, Namgungal’s demeanor toward Namgungban and Namgunghyuk became much gentler.
“You’re so easy to talk about.”
It was awkward and uncomfortable to suddenly hear Namgung talk about his mother, but Namgung didn’t seem to want to stop.
