Chapter 87
He came to save me.
Or is he here to save his mother and the Namgung Wall.
I remembered the actions of the mysterious Southern Palace Master, who had traveled all the way from Anhui Province with only five of his followers.
He must have sensed Bai Guang’s aura.
Or he felt threatened by his mother.
Or whether he flew because of both, he couldn’t tell.
One thing was certain.
“Don’t blame him. Your father has a purpose. ”
My mother’s last words before she died.
Perhaps my resentment and grudge clouded my vision and prevented me from seeing it.

“How are you feeling?”
“Much better.”
My mother, or Mrs. Baek, is nothing more than an ordinary person. As such, the killing intent and hostility shown by Bai Guang was likely to have caused a mental crack in her.
Of course, I protected my mother and Walli from Bai Guang’s aura with all my heart, but I don’t think I could have overcome it completely.
Several days of convalescence were certainly necessary.

I could have resented her enough, but she didn’t point that arrow at me.
This was the kind of person my mother was.
“Besides, didn’t the Grand Duke summon you to me?”
As I said this, my face burned hot.
“Oh, Mother! No!”
I shouted at my mother as she bit her tongue and performed a determined act of self-determination. My face heated up.
