A Kind Goblin’s Bird - Chapter 82

‘Which bitch put a goblin egg in my stomach?’

The Empress has always wondered about it. She was always convinced that the bitch who put the goblin’s egg inside her stomach, and she, with noble blood, had to give birth to the filthy goblin was the concubine.

A bird that grants wishes. Sa Heon-yeong knew how much the Empress’ heart was beating when she heard the story without looking at it.

Sa Heon-yeong knew that he was not a goblin. He knew it all too well. He had never used a magic spell once in his thirty years of life. He was always facing death on the battlefield. He has never had anything beyond human, so he must be just a human.

However, Sa Heon-yeong did not claim to be a human since he was a child when he was nearly killed by the Crown Prince’s sword. He couldn’t. So he lived as a goblin.

Although he was a human, he had to wear a goblin mask for many years to obey the command to live like a goblin. It was unreasonable and sometimes humiliating, it was breaking his heart, but it was unavoidable. The other person was the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor.

His wife , who knew nothing, had hit the Empress head-on. To a mother who denies everything, saying that his son is a goblin, his wife claimed that it was his son.

The cost was horrendous.

“…… So, if she didn’t want to be deposed, the Empress commanded Her Highness to sing.”

“…….”

“She asked if she’s deposed.”

“…….”

“Will the Empress accept her son…….”

Sa Heon-young’s eyes widened, then slowly distorted. He covered his face with one hand. He didn’t know how to control his crazy feelings.

What is that?

Young-ah, his foolish and kind wife. Why did she lose her life?

Sa Heon-yeong raised his head and looked at the ceiling. When he missed one night and came back in the morning.

‘I thought something bad happened.’

She had been staring at the darkness all night long. She said she was worried when Sa Heon-yeong returned. What did he say then? Did he laugh at her? He didn’t remember well.

She was so worried when he didn’t come back for one night.

In fact, she didn’t even know he was doing something bad.

Just to acknowledge him as a person. Did she leave so harshly when she said something like that?

What is so important about him that he knew nothing while she was tormented?

“It became a will.”

Sa Heon-young closed his eyes at Ha Soye’s words. Now he thought his tears were dry, but something else was filling his eyes. He didn’t know if it was blood or tears.

“Ha Soye.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“I need some rest.”

Retreat. Sa Heon-yeong closed his eyes while Ha Soye disappeared.

Swallowing hot things, he thought of the lovely person he could no longer hold. And, slowly he recalled those who took that person away.

Something is breaking in his mind. The shattering sound was not as loud as he thought. Is this the mind or is it humanity?

Whatever it was, it wasn’t as big as he thought it would be. It broke in an instant. No, only the shell is broken. The soul that was in it went to the underworld with Young-young. She was the only one who treated him as a human, so he had to die with her.

“Foolish husband, really.”

Sa Heon-yeong wiped the place next to him with his hand. There was nothing left of Young-young’s body temperature, but the fact that it was the place where she had laid made him happy.

“I couldn’t protect you and I couldn’t fill you with flowers, and I couldn’t even burn you on a white boat.”

After that, Sa Heon-young took a long breath. He slowly lowered his back and kissed the empty bed. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened his eyes. A sly smile dripped down like blood from his lips.

Who said that the road to the underworld is lit with blood……. Young-ah, go slow. I’ll light it up like broad daylight soon.

His eyes were red from tears of blood. Just like a goblin.
