Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 426

Chapter 426: The Lazy Bum is Strange (1)

Druuuur.

Wei Jeonghan had a relaxed expression.

“This is strange.”

His task was not simple. Investigating an unusual incident in enemy territory was not easy.

The mental pressure was immense, and the threatening glares while he investigated kept him tense.

Where did this relaxation come from?

“Hmm…”

Wei Jeonghan rotated his neck several times. Feeling his internal energy, he realized it was full of energy.

“This is strange.”

He felt as if he had returned to his youth.

“Did you cough?”

Jangil came out of the next room. Seeing Wei Jeonghan, Jangil bowed:

“Ah, yes. Did you sleep well last night…?”

Wei Jeonghan trailed off upon seeing Jangil’s face. After looking at Jangil for a moment, Wei Jeonghan said with a strange expression:

“Did you eat a dog? We are in the Tang family. You might get in trouble if you do that.”

“No, I didn’t do that.”

“Then why is your face so radiant?”

Doubt appeared on Wei Jeonghan’s face.

Jangil’s face was very clean, not like that of a vagabond. He looked like a Buddha or a jade child.

“Huh?”

Jangil touched his face and laughed:

“My skin improved from sleeping well.”

“You slept well?”

“Yes. Don’t you feel well?”

“Huh? How do you know?”

“It’s obvious. You’ve been worried about that guy, haven’t you? You’ve been concerned about him, and you’ve had nightmares. But since he’s been quiet these days, you can sleep well.”

“Th-that…”

Wei Jeonghan stammered.

He was right.

‘Damn it.’

Wei Jeonghan couldn’t control his surprise. His good physical condition was because Wei Yanho was quiet.

‘Is the stress of being in enemy territory and being watched less than the worry about my son causing trouble?’

Should he consider this Wei Yanho’s influence?

“Kgh, even though he’s my son…”

Wei Jeonghan shook his head. But his body was honest. His good physical condition was the proof.

“When we arrived at the Tang family, I was very worried about that guy, but now I’m calm. I want to live here forever.”

Jangil seemed willing to eat even poisoned food if Wei Yanho remained quiet. He understood it, but he was also a little annoyed.

“It seems that that guy understands the situation. I thought he would cause trouble here as in the East Palace, but it seems he knows this place is different. I don’t know if he has matured or is afraid. Khm, it’s surprising.”

“But he’s my son, you shouldn’t speak ill of him in front of me.”

“I’m sorry. You seemed very understanding…”

“I am.”

What bitterness.

Having to feel relief when talking badly about his son with another person. Life is bitter.

Besides…

“Your comment worries me.”

“Huh?”

“Like you said. Wei Yanho has been quiet lately.”

“Yes.”

“That’s strange.”

“…Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan said firmly:

“He hasn’t matured, nor is he afraid. And he will never mature, and he will never be afraid.”

Unease appeared on Jangil’s face upon hearing that:

“Could it be…”

“We must go. Follow me.”

“Me too?”

“Who else?”

“…….”

Wei Jeonghan, with a serious expression, walked quickly downstairs, and Jangil followed him like an ox led to the slaughterhouse.

‘I spoke too much.’

Jangil realized that the root of all evil is the mouth.

“You can’t enter.”

Wei Jeonghan looked at the woman blocking the door to Wei Yanho’s room with a strange expression.

“Ah, hmm…”

Then…

Wei Jeonghan looked around him and then looked at the door again:

‘It seems this is his room…’

The maids looking at him with a strange expression were familiar to him too. So, this is Wei Yanho’s room…

‘Who is this woman?’

Why was an unknown woman blocking the door to Wei Yanho’s room?

Wei Jeonghan closed his eyes:

‘As I thought.’

He must expect the unexpected.

It’s easier to expect a dog to fly than to expect Wei Yanho to stay still.

“What kind of person is he?!”

Wei Jeonghan couldn’t contain his anger.

This lazy bum is only diligent when he causes trouble! If he’s going to be lazy, let him be constantly lazy! Why?! Why is he only diligent at these times?!

He felt angry.

When he was about to shout, Wei Jeonghan noticed a strange look.

A little girl peeked her head from behind the woman.

“Ah…”

His shout disappeared upon seeing the child. He couldn’t shout upon seeing her scared eyes.

‘What is this?’

The woman is fine. But what about this little girl?

Could it be…?

“No! No! Don’t say nonsense!”

It’s not the time. When that girl was born, Wei Yanho was still a child, what nonsense!

As if he wanted to get rid of that unholy thought, Wei Jeonghan shook his head hard. That was impossible.

“Who are you?”

Wei Jeonghan decided to attack directly. If he doesn’t know, he must ask.

“I am Lord Wei’s bodyguard.”

“…Bodyguard?”

“Yes.”

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes trembled:

“Excuse me, miss.”

“Yes.”

“Unlike my son, I am a normal person.”

“Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan’s face flushed:

“Why does someone who doesn’t even use a sword need a bodyguard?”

“…”

“That’s not what I’m asking! I’ve never seen you before, why are you my son’s bodyguard and blocking me?”

“It’s a long story.”

“Make it short. I might die of frustration.”

Jangil stopped Wei Jeonghan:

“Calm down, master.”

“Do I look calm?”

“You must calm down. Haven’t you been through this before? This miss is clearly a victim of Wei Yanho, why are you scolding her?”

“Kgh…”

Wei Jeonghan hit his chest in frustration.

But Uil, who was blocking Wei Jeonghan, shook her head firmly:

“It’s not like that. I owe him a favor.”

Jangil clicked his tongue upon hearing Uil:

“Excuse me, miss.”

“Yes.”

“That’s how it starts.”

“Huh?”

Jangil looked at Uil with pity and said:

“That guy is a mess, but he doesn’t hurt people on purpose. It usually starts with good intentions, so everyone is grateful to him. The problem is that that gratitude doesn’t last long.”

“…….”

“I don’t know your situation, but if you want to live a normal life, run away. You won’t be able to live a normal life near him. It’s better to leave without looking back.”

Uil looked at the two without being able to say anything:

“N… no…”

When Uil was about to speak, they heard hurried footsteps behind them:

“Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan turned his head and looked at the person running:

“Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan’s face hardened.

It was Tang Cheongun, who was running towards them. Why was the leader of the Tang family, a famous person, so rushed?

‘Well, why.’

He already knew the reason. He just wanted to know more details.

And Tang Cheongun didn’t disappoint him.

“W… what did you do?!”

He went straight to the point. That was good.

That was easier.

“What do you mean?”

“There’s… a problem.”

“Huh?”

Tang Cheongun looked at Wei Yanho’s room and said:

“They say a stranger broke into the Jegal family last night.”

“A stranger?”

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes trembled.

So, a stranger broke into the Jegal family. A stranger. A “stranger.”

He was very curious about the identity of the stranger… no, that…

“What did he do?”

“I don’t know his purpose…”

“Yes.”

“He broke in and destroyed the Jegal family’s formation, and beat everyone he saw.”

His eyes began to tremble.

“H-He beat everyone?”

“Yes. He didn’t kill anyone, he just beat them. They say people were flying like kites…”

That’s strange.

What is this feeling of déjà vu?

Although it’s the first time I hear this, it seems I’ve heard or seen it before.

“And he destroyed half of the Jegal family’s buildings.”

Wei Jeonghan turned his head.

Shudder.

The woman blocking the door lowered her head upon seeing Wei Jeonghan’s gaze.

‘He couldn’t even do it on purpose.’

It would be less suspicious if he had written “I was involved in that yesterday” on his face.

“Is that true?”

Wei Jeonghan laughed:

Yes.

As I thought.

He wouldn’t stay still.

“That stranger…”

“…Yes, that stranger… khm, stranger…”

Wei Jeonghan rubbed his face.

Damn it.

Wei Jeonghan felt sad that he couldn’t shout “Why do you suspect my son first?” But, even if he thinks about it, that stranger must be Wei Yanho.

“Kgh.”

Yes.

He already caused trouble, so he must find out the reason. Then he will feel less frustrated.

Wei Jeonghan, who had made a decision, looked at Uil:

“Won’t you move?”

“…No.”

Upon receiving the expected answer, Wei Jeonghan smiled:

Well, there’s no other choice.

“Hu.”

Wei Jeonghan took a deep breath and said to Uil:

“Cover the little girl’s ears.”

“…Huh?”

“Cover the little girl’s ears, I’m telling you. Her eardrums might break.”

Uil covered So Ryeo-gun’s ears with her hands upon understanding what Wei Jeonghan meant. At the same time, Wei Jeonghan’s eyes turned red, and a terrifying shout resounded:

“GET OUT OF YOUR ROOM, YOU DAMN BASTARD!”

The tiles of the building fell to the ground from Wei Jeonghan’s shout.
