Chapter: 1045

Chun Yeowun asked Dan Baekhyun in a stern tone.

“T-that, it can be thought of as such, but there was nothing I could do. There are numerous spies in the main palace.”

“Spies?... Are you talking about the Blade God Six Martial Clan?”

“... yes.”

In addition to those who died in the underground, Baekhyun was certain that there were spies of the Blade God Six Martial clan everywhere in the Palace.

The most suspicious ones were Dan Jucheon and his followers.

Hearing that the king met with an unfortunate accident and the dragon had been released, the first action he took was to convene a meeting and be appointed as the deputy king of the palace.

“He took advantage of the crisis rather than devising measures. At that time, I was unconscious because of the wounds I suffered, only if I was fine! Tch!”

Taking advantage of the release of the Dragon Turtle, he had himself appointed as the deputy king in the palace, and was delegated all the powers as he gathered all the powerful people in the palace.

Although it was a moment of crisis, Dan Jucheon was being respected as a hero by the people of North Sea Ice Palace.

While Baekhyun was unconscious because of his injuries, everything had already been decided.

As if they were all waiting for that moment.

“It is a situation which raises suspicion, but maybe he could have done it without the help of spies?”

Ko Wanghur asked.

At that Baekhyun raised his head and answered in anger.

“If that person really wanted the position of king based on his skills, maybe my father and I would be able to understand! But he, a person who is supposed to be my father’s brother, took advantage of a crisis and took power. If something like that happens in your Cult, would you dismiss it as a simple power struggle?”

“...”

At that, Ko Wanghur went silent.

Baekhyun’s words weren’t wrong.

He kept saying that his uncle took advantage of the crisis, but there was a high probability that he thoroughly colluded with the Blade God Six Martial clan.

They had plotted things the same way everywhere.

“And, the three elders are known to be the right hands of my uncle. They and my uncle were all in favor of bringing in those bombs from the Blade God Six...”

“Enough.”

‘?’

Chun Yeowun asked him to stop talking.

When he said that without hearing the entire story, Baekhyun turned restless.

Chun Yeowun spoke to him.

“I don’t think there is any need to hear more.”

“T... then?”

“Well, people of the Demonic Cult will head to the North Sea to secure the safety of the former Lord.”
