Chapter 98
“Where is Father?”
“...He’s not here.”
“You didn’t tell him?”
“I didn’t. He made it clear—anyone else hearing about it is fine, but absolutely do not let Father find out. Said if we do, he’d just die. Bastard’s insane.”
If you knew even a little about the man called Seol Muryeon, that much was perfectly understandable.
How had this whole situation started?
It all began with Seol Muryeon’s mistake—smuggling away the Thousand-Year Serpent in secret.
If that mistake were to become public knowledge, his dignity as a Polar Descendant would inevitably be damaged.
So, resolving the issue before it spread was the ideal course of action.
“Youngest... He’s not going to die like this, is he?”
Among the Polar Descendants, the one who cared most about family was Seol Yeonhwa. That was undeniable.
Her worry seeped from her every movement and word—there was no hiding it.
