I was so flustered that I could only roll my eyes, unable to do anything.
I had come here to find a hiding place to escape my disciple’s sharp eye. To encounter my disciple here, of all places. It was hard even to breathe properly.
What was my disciple thinking about me now? Had he already heard the story about my seeking a hiding place? Or not yet?
Would he find me suspicious if he had heard? Or would he just consider it a whim?
No. That couldn’t be. My disciple is clever. He would surely find me suspicious.
Damn it. Could he possibly deduce that I have memories from before my regression?
My heart was pounding so loudly that I couldn’t hear the noise outside. My ears were ringing.
I was staring blankly ahead when I felt a strong gaze and barely managed to lift my head.
The Duke was looking at me with sharp eyes. Oh no, had I been too obvious in observing my disciple?
That gaze brought me somewhat to my senses.
I hid my fear and showed the Duke a smile that would fool others.
Fortunately, Sunan asked again, having grown tired of waiting for an answer to his question.
“Grandfather? Who is that person?”
Apparently finding it hard to ignore his grandson twice, the Duke answered.
“He is a noble.”
Then the Duke looked at the 13th Prince, as if to make sure he had answered correctly.
‘The Duke doesn’t want to tell Sunan about the 13th Prince. Why? Is the 13th Prince’s visit to the gambling den a secret? But he should tell his grandson, shouldn’t he?’
No, rather, Sunan of this time doesn’t know the face of the 13th Prince. I thought he knew in the previous life.
How did Sunan know about the 13th Prince in the previous life? Darn. I’m confused.
I remembered the big picture, but the intricate details were mixed up, making it hard to recall.
Meanwhile, Sunan asked his grandfather in an astonished voice.
“A noble?”
Sunan’s gaze landed on the 13th Prince, who looked younger than himself.
He seemed unable to believe that his stern and frightening grandfather would refer to the delicate young man as a noble.
I kept my mouth shut for now.
Sorry to Sunan, but when my disciple was quiet, it was hard for me to pretend to know him.
‘But the Duke must know who I am. Sunan introduced me as Yoyo Hwa.’
No one who knows the 13th Prince wouldn’t know my name.
The 13th Prince and his fledgling teacher Yoyo Hwa. For better or worse, our names had always been linked since I became his teacher.
“Yes, a noble.”
“A friend of Grandfather’s who’s that young?”
The Duke scowled but didn’t scold his grandson.
Instead, he suddenly turned to me and said,
“Yes. Your friend is seeking a hiding place?”
Selling me out to save his grandson, that old rascal.
“Yes. About ten or so. Right, Yoyo? Ten?”
Maybe I should write my will as soon as I get home. Grandfather and grandson are digging my grave together.
I shouldn’t look at the 13th Prince at a time like this. But even before I thought about it, my eyes were drawn to my disciple. I was curious about his reaction.
Oh. I shouldn’t have looked. He’s looking at me with a smiling face.
It’s all very well to say a smiling face, but it’s the expression he wore before giving me poison.
I quickly looked away from his smile at the Duke.
Was it because my real enemy was smiling ominously at me? The fear I had for the Duke before entering the room had completely disappeared.
With the Poison Prince beside me, the Duke looked like plain water.
Anyway, the answer I had to give was clear. If it were just Sunan, I might suddenly change my story, and he would tactfully follow along. But the Duke was different.
The Duke knew nothing about me and had a relationship with the 13th Prince. If the friend who asked his grandson to find a hiding place suddenly changed his story upon seeing his disciple, he would find it suspicious.
“Yes. Ten.”
All I could do was answer as if there was nothing wrong.
The Duke asked again.
“Why are you seeking a hiding place?”
Sunan felt even more sorry that the matter had spread like this because of his wrongdoing, and complained to Duke Yuga in a somewhat annoying tone.
“Ah, Grandfather. Why are you asking that? There must be something going on.”
“The danger of a hideout varies depending on its use. Isn’t it a mystery what will be hidden in it?”
It was in vain.
“What are you talking about?”
“It means whether what will be hidden in the hideout is oneself or a bomb, how would I know?”
“No, Grandfather, where would a child who only studied at home have a bomb? You just don’t want to rescue him, do you?”
Moreover, every time Sunan said a word, Duke Yuga’s gaze seemed to worsen.
I wondered if it was a misunderstanding, but Duke Yuga endured Sunan’s tantrums a few times, and then completely ignored him, looking at me and asked,
“What is the use of a hideout, Sir Scholar? My naive grandson cannot answer properly, so Sir Scholar, please answer.”
The sharp voice and tigerlike gaze were enough to remind me of Duke Yuga’s infamous reputation that Sunan had told me about in a previous life.
“I am…….”
