===================
‘S-submission?’
Imperial Noble Consort Seo’s eyes shook wildly.
She had known he wanted something, but had never imagined he would demand it this openly.
‘This wretch dares!’
No matter how far she had been cornered, she was still the Imperial Noble Consort.
A mere rogue of murim was telling her, the mother of the Crown Prince of this nation, to submit?
How could anyone say such a thing without being utterly insane?
She would rather die than preserve her life by submitting to a man like this…
“You cannot go to Her Ladyship!”
At that moment, the eunuch Yu Bong stepped in front of Peng Seok-im, who was consumed by madness and desire.
However,
-Papapak!
“Kuhk!”
-Thud!
Struck in the chest, abdomen, and elsewhere by Peng Seok-im’s lightning-fast punches, Yu Bong dropped to his knees.
From the start, there had been no way Yu Bong, who could not even measure up to Junior Supervisor Jang of the Eastern Depot, could stand against Peng Seok-im.
Even barehanded, without drawing a sword, he was no match.
Peng Seok-im kicked the kneeling Yu Bong in the head and sneered.
-Thud!
“Urk.”
“A gelded brat like you dares stick your nose in?”
After knocking Yu Bong down in an instant, Peng Seok-im looked at Imperial Noble Consort Seo and licked his lips as he said,
“Seo Yang-hyo. Let me see that fair flesh of yours.”
Peng Seok-im, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing rough.
At the sight of that desire-filled look, Imperial Noble Consort Seo found herself stepping back.
Many men had coveted her in the past, but because it had been within the imperial palace, they had at least observed the minimum measure of decorum, and none had spoken such vulgar words.
So she felt both unbearably humiliated and afraid.
“P-Peng Seok-im, do you think you can do this and remain unharmed?”
“Unharmed? Why would something like that matter? Once Seo Yang-hyo tastes this thing all through the night, she will never be able to escape it.”
Peng Seok-im said this while fondling the swollen bulge between his legs.
Watching that, she turned her head away in shame.
Was that truly the man’s real desire, his true nature?
It was filthy beyond words.
If such a man violated her, she felt as though she would want to bite off her own tongue and die.
So she said to Mok Gyeong-un,
“Did you not say you would grant everything you wanted?”
“…”
“Mok Gyeong-un!”
At the sight of Mok Gyeong-un not even pretending to hear her, she bit her lower lip until it bled.
What kind of man was this?
Imperial Noble Consort Seo shouted urgently,
“Are you truly even human? Are you just going to stand there and watch a frail woman be violated by that thing?”
She appealed to his humanity.
She had no intention whatsoever of giving Mok Gyeong-un what he wanted.
At those words, the approaching Peng Seok-im glanced at Mok Gyeong-un, then burst into laughter.
“Puhahahahaha. You are asking help from some prostitute-faced brat like this?”
Though he was consumed by madness and desire, his ability to sense qi was still alive.
In his eyes, Mok Gyeong-un looked like no more than a brat at the peak level.
The sight of her asking a mere brat like this for help was laughable.
-Whip!
Peng Seok-im pointed the Evil-Answering Sword at Mok Gyeong-un and said,
“Hey, brat. Want to try stopping me?”
At that threat, Mok Gyeong-un smiled pleasantly and then stepped aside.
-Swoosh!
“Why would I? Do as you wish.”
“You! You bastard!”
At that sight, Imperial Noble Consort Seo was so flabbergasted she did not know what to do.
Was he truly going to stand there and watch as she, the mother of the Crown Prince and the most exalted woman in this country, was violated by a creature like that?
To the woman writhing in agony, Mok Gyeong-un sneered and said,
“I wonder whether His Majesty the Emperor would still cherish a woman once she had been violated by another.”
‘!?’
The moment she heard those words, her expression froze.
Until then, she had thought only of the humiliation of the moment, but when she heard Mok Gyeong-un say that, a hundred thoughts tore through her mind.
If the Emperor learned that she had been defiled by such a man, he would be furious.
And that fury might not end with that wretch alone, but could reach even her and the Crown Prince who had been sullied.
Then everything would end in total ruin.
‘No!’
The very thought was unbearable.
So Imperial Noble Consort Seo wrapped both arms around her own body and shouted at the approaching Peng Seok-im.
“D-don’t come near me! If you do, I will bite off my tongue and kill myself!”
“Kill yourself?”
-Pat!
At that moment, Peng Seok-im, who had been walking slowly and savoring her fear, instantly closed the distance with a movement art and struck her acupoints.
-Tatatatatatak!
In an instant, her body locked rigid.
“Hk!”
“I cannot allow that. I have waited far too long for this moment.”
“You! You!”
“Ahhh. Do not worry. I only made sure your mouth lacks enough strength for you to bite your tongue off.”
“What?”
“Since I am already doing this, I should at least hear the crying, pleading sounds of Seo Yang-hyo as my thing grows even more excited.”
‘!!!!!’
At those vulgar words, Imperial Noble Consort Seo’s face twisted in humiliation.
“Hehehe.”
-Riiip!
Then, as though he was enjoying even that, Peng Seok-im laughed and tore apart her splendid outer robe.
At once her white flesh and undergarments came into view.
As her clothes were torn, tears welled in Imperial Noble Consort Seo’s eyes, unable to withstand the shame.
It was humiliating beyond words.
Was she truly to be violated by a man like this?
Her trembling eyes turned toward Mok Gyeong-un.
‘!?’
When she saw Mok Gyeong-un watching her with an utterly indifferent face, Imperial Noble Consort Seo lost all words.
Was that man truly human?
How could he watch such a sight with eyes devoid of all feeling?
-Clench!
“Aaah!”
At that moment, Peng Seok-im grabbed both her undergarments and breast-band at once.
It seemed he meant to rip them off in one go and leave her upper body completely naked.
Even seeing that, Mok Gyeong-un stood there with folded arms and showed not the slightest reaction.
He was like an evil ghost utterly devoid of human feeling.
‘How did this consort ever end up in the hands of such monsters…’
It was a true dilemma with no way forward or back.
Whether she was violated by this filthy bastard and cast aside by the Emperor, or submitted in defeat to that evil-ghost-like man, both outcomes were equally dreadful.
-Riiip!
At that instant, the garments covering her upper body were torn away completely.
With that, her full upper body came into view.
Its pale tautness, unimaginable for the body of a woman who had already borne a child, made Peng Seok-im lick his lips and drool.
Unable even to move, fixed in place, her face flushed red with shame and tears spilling down it.
That sight only excited Peng Seok-im all the more.
“Hehehe.”
-Clench!
“Aaaah!”
Peng Seok-im savagely seized one of her breasts, while his other hand was already moving toward her lower body.
At last, Imperial Noble Consort Seo cried out in desperation.
“I will do it! I will do as you wish, so kill this bastard at once!”
At that shout, Peng Seok-im sneered and said,
“For the lofty Imperial Noble Consort Seo Yang-hyo to be begging some brat like this to kill me just because she is in a hurry… truly…”
“You heard her, didn’t you?”
At that moment, hearing the voice from behind him, Peng Seok-im gave a snort.
Then, gripping the hilt of the Evil-Answering Sword in his right hand, he turned his head toward Mok Gyeong-un and said in a low voice,
“Brat. This is your last chance. I am in an exceptionally good mood right now, on the verge of such a grand affair, so I will let you off just this once. Get lost.”
“That will be difficult.”
“Difficult? Ha!”
At that, Peng Seok-im straightened up.
Then he turned fully and pointed the sword at Mok Gyeong-un, speaking in a low growl.
“You are truly crazy to die. You prostitute-faced runt.”
“You have bad luck.”
“What?”
“If you had not greedily coveted another man’s sword, none of this would have happened.”
“What nonsense are you babbling!”
-Slash!
With that shout, Peng Seok-im swung the Evil-Answering Sword at Mok Gyeong-un’s neck.
It was so fast it seemed intent on separating head from body in a single instant.
But then,
-Pak!
‘!?’
Peng Seok-im’s eyes flew wide.
And no wonder, because the blade had been stopped by Mok Gyeong-un’s bare palm.
“What in the world…”
-Wooooong!
At that moment, the blade of the Evil-Answering Sword that was touching Mok Gyeong-un’s palm trembled and let out a ringing cry.
Even Peng Seok-im, who had been consumed by lust and madness, could not hide his shock.
The sword was reacting to this brat as though it were alive.
‘The sword is resonating?’
What in the world was happening?
“Now return my sword.”
“Your sword?”
“Yes.”
At those words, Peng Seok-im distorted his face fiercely and shouted,
“Stop babbling nonsense! This sword is mine! It is not something a brat like you has the right to covet!”
-Pat!
With that, he pulled the blade away from Mok Gyeong-un’s hand and tried to launch another sword form.
Then,
-Crunch! Crunch!
In that instant, the veins on the back of the hand gripping the Evil-Answering Sword bulged grotesquely, and, as though he had fallen into qi deviation, Peng Seok-im could no longer control the inner power in his hand.
“Guh!”
Unable to endure the pain, he released the hilt against his will.
-Thunk!
The Evil-Answering Sword dropped from his hand and stabbed upright into the ground.
The blade trembled on its own, and at that sight Peng Seok-im looked utterly unable to understand what was happening.
“Wh-why are you rejecting me?”
It was true that it was a demon sword, but he had believed the sword had chosen him.
And yet the sword was clearly rejecting him.
At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un grasped the hilt of the Evil-Answering Sword, which stood upright in the ground, and drew it out.
-Woooooong!
At once, the sword’s ringing grew louder and a radiance flowed from the blade.
The sight made Peng Seok-im’s eyes waver.
Had this brat truly been chosen by the demon sword?
“Then go in peace.”
“What?”
-Slash!
Before the question had even fully left his lips,
realizing that something sharp had brushed past his neck, Peng Seok-im grabbed at his throat with both hands in sudden alarm.
-Pak!
At the same time, Mok Gyeong-un lightly shook the Evil-Answering Sword to flick the blood off the blade.
Watching that, Peng Seok-im’s eyes filled with despair.
Ignoring him, Mok Gyeong-un walked to Imperial Noble Consort Seo, who still lay frozen by the acupoint strikes, and released the sealed points.
-Tatatatatatak!
Once the acupoints were released, she started violently and hurriedly covered her breasts with both arms.
Though she was still deeply ashamed, her resentment toward Peng Seok-im was even greater, and glaring at him she said,
“Why are you not killing him?”
“I did kill him.”
“You killed him?”
“Yes.”
“What are you talking about? He is still standing there perfectly alive, is he not?”
Peng Seok-im was indeed still alive, clutching his own throat in terror.
At that, Mok Gyeong-un gave a faint snort of amusement and walked over to him.
Peng Seok-im moved his eyes wildly from side to side, trying to express refusal.
But Mok Gyeong-un paid it no mind, touched a finger to the man’s forehead, and flicked it lightly.
-Tok!
Then,
-Srrrreulreureureuk!
The head Peng Seok-im had barely been holding onto slid away and fell backward.
-Thud!
-Puhsh!
As the head hit the ground, blood burst upward like a fountain from the severed surface of his neck.
Imperial Noble Consort Seo’s eyes went blank as she stared.
The man had been a shameless villain trying to violate her, but seeing him die beheaded right before her left her on the verge of losing her mind.
‘Monster… This man is a real monster.’
Holding his broken nose, the eunuch Yu Bong inwardly clicked his tongue.
He had not even seen the sword cut through the man’s neck.
Even the man himself had only realized it after being cut and then frantically clutched at the wound.
It was swordsmanship like that of a ghost itself.
While still reeling inwardly in shock, Yu Bong hurried over to Imperial Noble Consort Seo and covered her with his outer robe.
“Uuuugh.”
Imperial Noble Consort Seo trembled violently as she wrapped herself in Yu Bong’s robe.
It was not as revolting as when she had seen Peng Yi-mun’s head, but it was still sickening all the same.
So Yu Bong cautiously said to Mok Gyeong-un,
“Her Ladyship can scarcely endure this. Shall we move somewhere else and give her just a little time?”
“That is hardly difficult.”
At those words, Yu Bong let out a quiet sigh of relief.
If they moved naturally to another place and left Imperial Noble Consort Seo in the care of the palace maids, then he himself could stay out of their sight for a while.
After betraying them, lingering before their eyes did not seem likely to end well.
“Then I shall escort Her Ladyship and…”
“Ah, I nearly forgot.”
“Pardon?”
Mok Gyeong-un shook his head at the puzzled man.
“I was not speaking to you.”
At that, Imperial Noble Consort Seo trembled all over and looked at him in confusion.
What exactly had he forgotten?
Then Mok Gyeong-un smiled pleasantly and said,
“Since Your Ladyship promised submission, I thought I ought to show you the fate of traitors.”
‘!!!!!’
The instant those words fell, Yu Bong was so shocked that he tried to say something to Mok Gyeong-un.
“M-Master Mok. I too am loyal to you…”
-Slash!
He never got to finish.
In the blink of an eye, Mok Gyeong-un’s sword was already raised over Yu Bong’s head.
Yu Bong’s eyes widened as though they would split apart.
Then, in the next instant,
-Srrrreureu!
A vertical red line appeared down the center of his face.
Imperial Noble Consort Seo slowly turned her head to the side with trembling eyes.
As she turned, blood began to flow from that red line, and then Yu Bong’s body split apart into two halves.
Blood spraying from the severed body splattered all over her.
-Pupuput!
Frozen by fear, she could not move at all.
As Imperial Noble Consort Seo stood there drenched in blood, Mok Gyeong-un gently stroked her cheek and said softly,
“I trust you will conduct yourself properly.”
