Chapter: 382

But this was what he really thought.

‘With the future Lord as my son in law, our clan will become the number one clan of the cult! This serves both of us well.’

Was he really persuaded? Yeowun seemed to be deep in thought and everyone turned to Yeowun. Mun Ku even had her eyes pointed down from concern. Yeowun, who fell silent for a long time, spoke.

“You are right.”

That brought joy and sadness to the people. Sama Yi wasn’t sure if Yeowun will agree, but he instantly brightened up and smiled.

‘YES! Hahaha! I knew it. What fool will refuse such a good offer?’

But Mun Ku instantly turned gloomy. She felt her heart aching when she heard Yeowun saying as if he was ready to marry. She had been rejecting the idea, but she finally realized her true feeling.

‘So... I’m in love.’

She finally realized her feeling, but Yeowun was going to be with another woman. This made her feel lonely and sad. Sama Young, who was pushing back her hair embarrassingly, was pretty and Mun Ku herself, hiding her face with man’s mask wasn’t. There was no way Yeowun will like her in that way.

“Hahaha! You have made a good choice. We will be family now, so we can...”

“I think you misunderstood.”

“Yes?”

“I just said you are right in what you said.”

Sama Yi froze in place at what Yeowun said and asked.

“I beg your pardon?”

“Let me ask you instead. Aside from marriage, do you intend on approving me of being the heir?”

“U-uh, that’s...”

Sama Yi frowned. He didn’t expect Yeowun will ask back in this way. He had expected Yeowun to accept the offer as it was going to benefit both of them, so this question was unexpected to say the least.

‘This is..’

If he says the marriage was requirement, then it would put him in a shoe where he was only wanting power, and if he says marriage doesn’t matter, then this will give Yeowun reason to refuse the marriage.

‘He got me. I thought he was going to be naïve... I was wrong.’

Sama Yi was lost for words. He couldn’t answer either way. He thought maybe he should go strong for the future’s sake, but he was concerned about what Chun Yeowun had done until now, which in turn would come to him.

‘Prince Chun does not even fear six clans that all cultists fear. It might not be a good idea to make him angry.’

He was afraid of ruining everything out of greed. Sama Chak then opened his mouth to help his father.

“Master, can I say something?”

“...Go ahead.”

“My father, 9th Elder have shown great interest in you ever since the sixth test. Even if it wasn’t for the marriage, my father have prepared this feast only because he thought you fit to become the heir.”

‘N-no! My son, if you say that...’

Sama Yi frowned. Sama Chak was only trying to help, but this had narrowed the remaining option for Sama Yi.

“Is that true? Elder?”
