Blessing Curse (Curse of Blessing)
28. A Beginning

Since when did Gi Tae become envious of the happiness of others. So far, he is known for people who are willing to suffer for the sake of happiness that is not destined for him. Since when did he become someone greedy?.

"Hey, Chu Yi, do you think I am guilty as well?" gi Tae asked Chu Yi to break the silence of the night.

Gi Tae is currently lying on the ground staring at the sky. He was resting before Chu Yi who was still also sitting on a rock while watching him silently.

"How do you think?" replied Chu Yi who asked him again.

"I just saw that he was someone I had to remove from my life" Gi Tae said, staring blankly at the night sky using one of his arms as a cushion.

Chu Yi understood what Gi Tae meant, she was obviously talking about Hyujin.

Naturally this sentence made Chu Yi feel worried. If left like this, then all their efforts would be in vain.

Chu Yi had to stop Gi Tae's bad thoughts like that.

"When you lose someone's life, what do you feel?" Chu Yi asked calmly. He wanted to bring this conversation to something more meaningful.

Gi Tae shifted his gaze, he was currently looking at Chu Yi in surprise.

"How do I know, I've never even killed a boar before." he replied with a frown.

Isn't it clear that Gi Tae has never hurt anyone, except for a punch he gave Hyujin back then. With his emotional record, he is out of control.

"Hmm..." Chu Yi sighed deeply as she placed her hands back as her body support "then what do you feel when you help release the black magic curse?" he slowly looked up at the sky.

The stars can hypnotize a person's mind. The light is so beautiful as to fill an empty space in someone that no one can penetrate.

Gi Tae looked back at the night sky filled with stars.

The cold night air provides calmness for those who feel the hardness of heart and mind. It feels like something of a relief.

"When they came to me, it was like I was feeling the hardship they were feeling. And when I managed to get rid of their difficulties, I was carried away by the smile they gave me. It was a relief..." a faint smile appeared on Gi Tae's lips without him knowing.

"You were born as a helper.your curse is not to kill, but to remove another curse. Although there are many evils that want you, you are still you." said Chu Yi who immediately made Gi Tae look back at him earnestly "want how it will be, how it will be, all we need to do is do this with our best version, right?" he added with a sincere smile to Gi Tae.

Gi Tae smiled and nodded his head.

His conversation with Chu Yi that night was one of the best. He was so grateful to meet her.

The morning Gi Tae woke up, Hyujin was no longer in her bed. Yes, Gi Tae and Hyujin were ordered to share a room.

Although according to Chu Yi this was an extremely risky act, but they needed to do this to exercise Gi Tae's emotional control.

For Gi Tae himself, sharing a room with Hyujin was difficult for him to accept, but he was forced to obey them on the grounds that there was no room for Hyujin anymore.

If it is no longer available why is Hyujin still allowed to stay here?

As for the other princess, they had split the remaining three small-sized rooms. Like the three daughters of Hira, Mozhawa, Sazhawa and Mizhawa were in the same room. For Ji-hyeon, Jeong Ra and Chu Yi occupy a room adjacent to the room where Gi Tae and Hyujin are located. As for Dayeon, Chaeyun and Na Yeong were next to the rooms of the Hira princesses and faced off against the other two rooms.

Although the cottage they lived in was quite small, but the division of each room as if it had been designed as well as possible by those who built it. Until the brown wooden building looks so neat and beautiful.

"Are you awake?" asked Na Yeong who was cooking food in the kitchen located right after the hallway of the room. This time Na Yeong was alone because the others were having other jobs.

Gi Tae is reminded of his mother who always smiled warmly like Na Yeong. When seen again, Na Yeong and her mother had a lot in common. It makes Gi Tae miss his mother even more.

I don't know what was going on inside Gi Tae, because without realizing it, Gi Tae walked up to him and hugged him from behind by leaning his chin over Na Yeong's head. He just misses his mother so much.

Gi Tae's sudden movements made Na Yeong's brain stop working. His heart was racing like it was about to run out from within his chest.

Na Yeong's eyes and mouth opened wide and his hands stopped from the activities he was doing.

"Gi-Gi Tae.. What are you doing?" with a stupefied Na Yeong tried to calm herself down.

Although Na Yeong had been fond of teasing Gi Tae since their meeting, but when Gi Tae did this to her made Na Yeong completely forget about herself.

"Missing his mother?" na Yeong said in her heart "i thought she liked me! basic!" he added with disappointment.

Na Yeong suddenly regained consciousness and released Gi Tae by shaking his back where Gi Tae was hugging him warmly.

Gi Tae's disappointed face was so noticeable when Na Yeong did that. He realized he had acted impudently to one of the princesses of the seven kingdoms. Plus Jang Na Yeong is the daughter of Jang Gu who is the center of leadership of the seven kingdoms.

"I'm sorry." said Gi Tae with a lethargic bow along with his sour face.

Na Yeong felt guilty after seeing her expression. He also did not mean to disappoint her, only that he himself was disappointed.

Na Yeong could only nod his head.

A sunny morning is a good time to start your inner power training together with Chaeyun.

After the physical training with Chu Yi yesterday, Gi Tae's body felt crumpled. But his obligation to continue training cannot be abandoned, or Ji-hyeon and Mozhawa and maybe the other princess will be disappointed in him. He could not see the people he cared about being disappointed.

"I heard you've managed to unlock the foreign energy in your body? I'm curious about that. Can you call him back?" chaeyun asked after Gi Tae finished warming up.

"I haven't been able to call him yet, it will only come out at certain times." replied Gi Tae who was not interested.

"A pretty bright morning for a sour face like you!" Chaeyun clucked to see the laziness on Gi Tae's face "come on, don't break my spirit to train you." she added by draping both arms over her chest.

Although Chaeyun was not as great as Chu Yi and Jeong Ra, but he was also quite adept at mastering inner power, just like Dayeon.

Gi Tae only sighed lazily in response.

"All right, I'll try" muttered Gi Tae resignedly.

Gi Tae shook his hands a few times while taking a breath to concentrate his strength.

He was trying to fuse the energy he felt within his body and drain it towards his two palms.

After a while he tried, but no results came out.

"Koakk..!" koakk!!"

Only the sound of a crow could be heard filling the quiet morning.

Made Chaeyun aware of their stupidity.

"Hmm... how about we start with learning about breathing arrangements?" chaeyun said somewhat awkwardly.

"I've done it before, but well, let's try again" Gi Tae said with a pruning.

The breathing exercise referred to by Chaeyun turned out to be different from what Gi Tae knew.

Currently Gi Tae is following the movement of breathing arrangements made by Chaeyun.

It not only regulates breathing, but is also able to cultivate canuragan science. Because in addition to great magic, a solid foundation for energy is very important.

All magic practitioners know this, both from black magic and magic.

Chaeyun moved both of her hands flexibly but surely on the extremely sturdy horses of her two legs. Gi Tae follows him from behind by constantly trying to concentrate his mind according to the instructions of Chaeyun.

Chaeyun's two hands stretched out on each side of her body and then spun upwards flexibly and continued with a forward push. After that is followed by a round of the wrist inward while parallel to the shoulder and throwing energy forward with only the thumb and index finger standing, while the other three fingers bend to help the energy center. This movement is done repeatedly until the body's metabolism and breathing are well processed.

According to Gi Tae this is easier than having to pull a large log and go on a rampage to resist strange orders.

Gi Tae sure can do something like this all day. This made him calm and peaceful.
