When the Black Moon Rises - Chapter 226
Chapter 226
Unable to understand how he was trying to do the wedding ceremony first this urgently, Ju Myoungyoon asked Clan Head Baek.
“But wouldn’t the Mystic Ruler's enthronement ceremony be more suitable for the purpose of making the Mystic Realm peaceful?”
“That is.”
“I believe that as the Ju family is trembling and collapsing like that, setting up the Mystic Ruler even a moment faster is the way to prevent the unfair gathering of blood relatives that might happen, and to organize the situation even faster.”
“……Then how about doing the enthronement ceremony and the wedding ceremony at once? The upcoming auspicious day happens to be the auspicious day of the red moon where positive energy pulsates, befitting even the enthronement ceremony of the Mystic Ruler.”
“…….”
That didn't logically make any sense.
How could they do the two large and important events, the Mystic Ruler's enthronement ceremony and the wedding ceremony of the leader of the Six Clans’ alliance, at once like it was not a big deal.
Ju Myoungyoon wanted to make his daughter get on the seat of the Mystic Ruler.
It certainly wasn't because of wanting to hold power.
If only the heart of a father was considered, rather than that, he wanted his daughter to simply spend each day joyfully, without any responsibilities.
However, running out first before crisis more than anyone, protecting people, not sparing her life, and fixing the scattered harmony.
Watching the deeds that his daughter was doing right beside her, Ju Myoungyoon couldn't help but remember when he first had been disappointed by the Mystic Ruler.
How much did he want a lord that he could trust and follow.
But the person befitting his desire at that time was right next to him.
He wanted to tell himself at that time. That a perfect leader who wasn’t lacking anything among the qualities of a leader was right here.
That was why doing the wedding ceremony first was even more hesitant.
Because the Baek family was a place that was even more conservative when it came to the external activities and actions of women.
He had judged that getting on the seat of the Mystic Ruler first and getting married to the leader of the Six Clans’ alliance as the head of the Ju family and the Mystic Realm would be of help to his daughter rather than becoming the seat of Mystic Ruler as the Lady of the House of the Baek family.
However, even while thinking all of that, words that refuted easily didn't come out.
That must have been because he read the clear impatience inside the eyes of the man in front of him.
‘It wasn't already a special thing for Clan Head Baek to conclude everything with the wedding no matter the story, but……’
Ju Myoungyoon, who hesitated for a moment, took out the words to Sehwa.
“Nothing special happened, but… if it's alright, can you persuade Clan Head Baek? Rather than the wedding, after you first get on the Mystic Ruler’s seat-.”
“Huh???”
Sehwa blinked her eyes and blocked Ju Myoungyoon’s words.
“I, become what, you said?”
“Why are you surprised? I, your father, already spoke about it before. How you would be on the Mystic Ruler’s seat-.”
“Father. I have no intention at all of becoming the Mystic Ruler.”
“What??”
“And even if we do the enthronement ceremony, if we do the enthronement ceremony of the Mystic Ruler and the wedding ceremony separately, there would be a considerable gap in time in between, right?”
“That is true. Because both ceremonies are big events that the entire Mystic Realm will pay attention to.”
“Then I also would rather do the wedding ceremony first rather than all these discussions. How about doing the wedding ceremony first and thinking about it after that?”
“I certainly am not opposing your two's marriage. However, in your father’s judgment, it would be nice if you persuade Clan Head Baek.”
“Huh?”
“The word Mystic Ruler can give you burden. I sufficiently understand that. But is there a need to already conclude that you won’t become the Mystic Ruler this hastily? Have conversations with the other Clan Heads and-, if necessary, a time to sufficiently think about it-.”
Sehwa, who was being flustered at Ju Myoungyoon's words, quietly closed her eyes at some point.
“Father, Mother. I’m really sorry.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Because I-.”
“…….”
“I……”
“…….”
“I, a reason why we have to do the wedding ceremony quickly first has come up. So……in truth. The reason is a bit……”
Sehwa, who avoided her gaze, gripped her stomach.
“…….”
Ju Myoungyoon, who was blankly watching that appearance for a while, leaped up and shouted.
“You, you, by any chance?!!!”
Dispatches were urgently sent to the White Stone Pavilion, and birds flew here and there.
That day, the wedding ceremony was proclaimed in the entire Mystic Realm with the name of the leader of the alliance of the Six Clans and the name of the acting Clan Head of the Ju family, Ju Myoungyoon.
The people who read the proclamation posted everywhere chattered, making this into a topic.
“The wedding ceremony of the young lady of our Ju family and the leader of the Six Clans? This is a huge celebration.”
“Even if they're called the Six Clans, in the end, they couldn’t ignore the Ju family.”
“Isn't it because it's that young lady? You also heard it, right? That the young lady is the Red Dragon. That she did this and that to the Corrupt Dragon in just one go?”
At those words, someone pouted their lips.
“But in truth, I feel like that story is a bit suspicious.”
“What is?”
“Is she really the Red Dragon? Then why is she not proclaiming that she was reborn as the Red Dragon? That important news?”
“What are you talking about? It's not like there are only one or two people who saw it themselves. Ah, by any chance, is she trying to proclaim it at the wedding?”
“That’s right. She's the Red Dragon who descended after a very long time. Since the status of the Ju family has fallen, maybe she’s trying to be revealed even more wonderfully in front of everyone to revive that dignity.”
“But something is strange. The person who is the Red Dragon doesn't sit on the Mystic Ruler’s seat, and another person is the acting Clan Head.”
“That's right. If we look at it now, isn’t there a possibility that it's a rumor made to support the back of the young lady who is marrying the leader of the Six Clans?”
A few voices kept pouring out suspicion, but those around them didn't agree with them easily.
“You say that even after seeing the Corrupt Dragon’s evil energy all disappear from the territory? Then who purified those curses?”
“That’s right. If the leader of the Six Clans purified it, they would say so. Would they dress up a young lady who isn’t a Divine Beast as a Divine Beast? They’re calling her Divine Beast since she has really become one.”
“Even so-.”
“Then how about going to the wedding ourselves? Even though we won’t be able to go inside the wedding, if we are near it, we’ll be able to hear any news fastest.”
“That’s right. If the stories we are hearing are all true, isn’t the Ju family’s young lady the one who brought life force back to this Mystic Realm based on huge Spiritual Power?”
The person who nodded their head clenched their fists tightly and spoke.
“Since she’s our benefactor, it wouldn’t make sense if we don’t give her a gift for her wedding. Let’s also go with congratulatory gifts.”
The people who were noisily sharing conversations began to move toward the White Stone Pavilion, where the wedding would be held.
And the people who were continuously expressing disagreeable voices separated in the opposite direction from them and ran somewhere.
After hurriedly entering some large mansion, they told the things they heard.
A low sigh burst among those who had gathered inside a wide room.
“Are you just going to keep watching like this?”
One of them, not hiding the contents of their displeased heart, expressed a voice like that.
They were the elders of the Ju family who had avoided going to the judgment stand while denying that they had nothing to do with the deed that the Mystic Ruler did.
“If not. What am I supposed to do about it in the current situation?”
“However, isn’t it definitely strange? While we definitely saw that child’s appearance of changing to a Red Dragon and changing to a new Divine Beast, it’s too quiet after she came back, isn’t it?”
“It’s been a month from that matter on the river, a month.”
“Since it’s after she used such huge regenerative power. It’s clear that she lost the power of the Divine Beast.”
“That is correct. There were many such matters even in the Ju family’s historical records.”
“Moreover, the fact that Ju Kyunghyun wasn’t caught gives power to that conjecture. If she really is the Red Dragon, then she would have Clairvoyance.”
“Yes, if that child can use the power of a Divine Beast, leaving the Mystic Ruler to be on the run for one month doesn’t fit for whatever reason.”
“The reason why the Divine Beasts are increasingly disappearing from the Mystic Realm, we are conjecturing it’s because the Divine Beasts are sacrificing themselves by melting their enormous Spiritual Power into the atmosphere to maintain the world a bit more. It’s clear that she also lost power similarly to this.”
The elders added one word at a time and persuaded him as Ju Sanghyun, who was listening, was silent.
“Since the situation has also become like this, and it's not like we’re going to do anything. However, aren’t we saying that at least the Clan Head has to be a person who knows about our circumstances even a little?”
“That is right. Elder Myoungyoon is a steadfast and admirable person, but……well. In the position of the Clan Head, there are things that one has to unavoidably get their hands dirty, but it’s clear that he won’t permit such a thing with his personality.”
“There are still many things that haven't been revealed, but if he becomes the Clan Head and confirms even the records that only the Mystic Ruler and his followers could read. If those things even become publicized, the Ju family won’t be able to hold their heads up high.”
“Fortunately, Elder Myoungyoon is greatly disappointed in the Ju family, but doesn't have greed for power. If your daughter isn’t going to sit on the Mystic Ruler's seat, he will support Elder Sanghyun through conversation.”
“If that young lady hasn't lost her power? If she still has power?”
The elders shook their heads at Ju Sanghyun’s question.
“Then why would they do the wedding ceremony first? Isn’t it natural to do the enthronement ceremony of the Mystic Ruler first before anyone gets on the seat?”
“They are trying to first give her a proper status through a wedding ceremony since her power is gone. Because they can’t suddenly make the young lady who has no power get on the Mystic Ruler's seat, it's to make it seem like the Lady of the House of the Six Clans’ Alliance takes the seat of the Ju family Clan Head and Mystic Ruler.”
“…….”
“Elder Sanghyun. Please make a decision.”
“If more time passes and the acting Clan Head becomes firmly set as the Clan Head, then there is no method.”
“…….”
“Elder Sanghyun!”
“For now-.”
Ju Sanghyun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke while trailing off his voice.
“Let’s make this one thing clear. I am not coveting the seat of the Mystic Ruler out of my own greed.”
“What kind of words are those.”
“Of course. We all know Elder Sanghyun’s great cause.”
“That is right. Elder Sanghyun is just trying to take on a hard role so that the Ju family can still at least hold their heads up high.”
Ju Sanghyun nodded his head as everyone spoke one word at a time.
“Alright. Since the Elders understand my heart and resolution so well, let’s at least bring the Ju family Clan Head seat to my hand for the honor of the Ju family members, even if it’s not anything else.”
