Chapter: 205

“...Okay.”

Yeowun answered hesitantly. Mun Ku then leaned back against the building wall with her limp leg and started talking.

“This face is the face of my twin brother.”

“What?”

Mun Ku was a twin. She had a brother named Mun Yu who was the future leader of her clan. Their father, Mun Sung, was killed right before the twins were born by the Evil Forces. After experiencing such shock, their mother had trouble giving birth.

“Mother died while my giving birth to my brother.”

‘Ah...’

Yeowun realized she had been raised without her parents. Yeowun felt more sympathetic as he too had no parents.

“My brother was always weak since he wasn’t given a proper birth.”

Unlike Mun Ku, who came out first normally, Mun Yu was born with a defect of being mentally ill. It was very shocking for Mun Yun who just lost his son. He now had a mentally ill grandson who was the only one who could succeed the family. It was unfortunate for the Dragon Fist Clan who always had a male to lead the family.

Mun Yun then hid the fact that his grandson was mentally ill. He tried very hard to heal his grandson, but nothing worked.

“Grandfather was very sad.”

He barely made his clan powerful like that of the six clans, but no one could succeed him. Unlike Mun Yu, Mun Ku’s talent at martial arts was astounding. She had reached the master level just when she was just sixteen, and Mun Yun was glad and sad at the same time.

“And that’s when the time to join the academy came closer.”

Mun Yun hesitated. All clans were required to send students to join the academy, but he couldn’t send Mun Yu, who could barely speak. If he sent his granddaughter instead, that was same as saying that his grandson had a problem.

“Is there a reason for not revealing your brother’s sickness?” Yeowun asked since he was confused. In his opinion, the problem was going to be revealed sooner or later anyway.

“...All six clans want to take our clan under their wing.”

The six clans were always competing with equal power between them. The Wise Clan was the strongest at the moment, but having the Dragon Fist Clan would be enough to turn the tide.

“They always ask us, and if they realize what happened to us... Ugh.”

Mun Ku scowled. If the Dragon Fist Clan’s only successor was mentally ill, it would easy to take the entire clan under them by marrying Mun Ku off instead.

‘I see.’

Yeowun nodded understandingly.

“So, grandfather declared to be neutral to protect our clan.”

The 9th Elder wanted to keep his clan from being absorbed into one of the six clans. Mun Ku then gave him a surprising idea.

“I told him I would join the academy as a male student.”

She also knew about the situation of her clan, so she decided to join the academy in place of her brother.

“If I pretend like I’m my brother and do well at the academy, the six clans won’t try to play tricks on us at least.”

Mun Yun did not want it at first. But he soon asked his friend, and the only one who knows about the details of his clan, 12th Elder Huan Yi to make her a mask, and that’s how she was here now.

However, the thing was that she did not use her brother’s name. This was as a precaution just in case her gender was revealed so that her clan or her brother would not take the blame.

‘So, this was what happened.’
