Chapter 37: Descent from the Mountain
The red palanquin Jincheon rode moved smoothly.
It was hard to believe that this large palanquin was being carried by delicate-looking maids.
Leading the way were the two Wind Commanders and three of the Twelve Signs Commanders, along with about a dozen escorts, while the rest followed in orderly formation behind the palanquin.
“Finally leaving.”
Jincheon let out a sigh.
The sight of Suyo and Mokyo with the palanquin straps on their shoulders felt a little pitiful, but still—just the fact that he was leaving this place lifted a weight off his chest.
Looking back, how tense had those days been?
One bizarre situation after another, all that business about Palace Master, Red Dragon, and Wrath—ways of thinking that made no sense to him.
For Jincheon, it had been nothing but a string of constant pressure.
Even if he had been showered with luxury and attention by beautiful women, it didn’t change that fact.
“The Oracle... probably best not to see her again, huh?”
This might be the last time. There was a chance he wouldn’t be able to keep the promise he made to her.
