Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

‘What happened to Hwa-eun!?’

I asked urgently, and Hwa-eun explained the situation.

‘It’s still just twitching. Ah, I think one side is getting a little thinner? One corner feels a bit more fragile. When I opened the window, the light coming in made it look like the inside is starting to show through. Is it waking up now?’

‘R-Really!? I’m on my way now, so just hold on a little longer.’

‘Got it, So-ryong.’

Listening to Hwa-eun, it seemed like Moji and Soji’s metamorphosis was imminent.

She said one side looked thinner, which might mean the silk inside was starting to dissolve.

Silkworm moths usually melt the silk from the inside, pierce through one side, and emerge, so it’s common for the cocoon to appear thinner in that area.

I urged the four Gold Guard escorts to hurry.

At this rate, I wouldn’t even get to witness the kids awaken.

As their father, it was practically their coming-of-age ceremony—I couldn’t possibly miss that.

“Let’s pick up the pace!”
