Sama Yi was lost for words. He couldn’t answer either way. He thought maybe he should go strong for the future’s sake, but he was concerned about what Chun Yeowun had done until now, which in turn would come to him.
‘Prince Chun does not even fear six clans that all cultists fear. It might not be a good idea to make him angry.’
He was afraid of ruining everything out of greed. Sama Chak then opened his mouth to help his father.
“Master, can I say something?”
“…Go ahead.”
“My father, 9th Elder have shown great interest in you ever since the sixth test. Even if it wasn’t for the marriage, my father have prepared this feast only because he thought you fit to become the heir.”
‘N-no! My son, if you say that…’
Sama Yi frowned. Sama Chak was only trying to help, but this had narrowed the remaining option for Sama Yi.
“Is that true? Elder?”
“U-Uh…”
Sama Yi hesitated and Yeowun suddenly got up from the seat. Sama Yi became shocked and Yeowun bowed.
“I think your opinion differs from that of your son’s. I think you and I walk the different path. I am grateful for your welcome. It is time for me to go.”
“Huh?!”
This was an outright decline, giving up what Yeowun had come here to do. Sama Yi thought Yeowun would not go that far as he needed approval, but this wasn’t expected.
‘Ah!’
And with this, Mun Ku who had been gloomy, brightened up. She was worried that Yeowun might marry another woman, but refusing like this gave her new hope.
‘But wouldn’t this become a problem to Prince later?’
She was glad that Yeowun refused, but this brought concern. Samu Clan was surely going to be a great help. Besides, the Lord himself also had 7 wives and many heroes had many wives so marrying someone here wasn’t much of an issue anyway.
‘Oh?’
And with Yeowun turning away, Yin Moha smiled in surprise. She was worried that maybe Yeowun will be persuaded by Sama Yi’s plans, but it was glad to see Yeowun going strong against him.
“Let’s go!”
As Yeowun said to his servants, Sama Yi’s eye turned large.
‘I-is he really leaving?!’
“W-wait!”
As Yeowun tried to go down from the guesthouse, Sama Yi grabbed him.
“E-elder Chun! Where are you going? You can’t just leave!”
Sama Yi frantically held onto Yeowun and decided he should step back on this.
“If you are angry from the marriage proposal…”
“Marriage. That, we can do it just like how you offered. Elder Sama. But do you know why I want to become the heir?”
Chun Yeowun asked Sama Yi. The simple reason would be Yeowun wanting to become the Lord, but this question meant that Yeowun was asking for something else. Yeowun then spoke to Sama YI.
“Why do you think the six clans hold the power over the entire cult today?”
“Why? That’s…”
Sama Yi then realized what Yeowun was talking about. Chun Yeowun was saying that having a familial relationship with the Lord had brought this problem. Sama Yi, elder of the cult, knew this very well and have thought himself that this was a problem.
