EP.101 Filial Impiety

@@

Swoooosh—!

After a long time, Yuria finished showering at Kim Taegon’s house and came out to the living room with a refreshed expression.

A quiet place. Father is out for work now.

Yuria took out a beer and enjoyed the sunset as the sun slowly set.

Then, she brought her hand to her vulva.

“Hmmm…♡”

A full four days.

They had incessant, wild sex for four days straight.

Yuria lifted her T-shirt slightly and looked at the blue bruises on her chest and waist.

Having fully awakened to the pleasure of submitting to a tyrant, she had reached a point where even the pain felt pleasurable.

Recalling the memory of being whipped by Jihyuk, she felt herself getting wet down there.

“Haah…”

She sighed deeply and resented her father.

She wanted to stay longer at the council, but her father had asked Jihyuk for help, saying he needed to consult with him, and Jihyuk had gone to the company.

Before leaving, he had said:

“Take this chance to go home and see your father’s face at least once.”

She wanted to wait for Jihyuk at the council, but she couldn’t refuse the order and had no choice but to come here.

Irritated for no reason, Yuria took a sip of beer.

As she did, she thought about the things Jihyuk had said during sex.

“Did my father really… ruin the kingdom?”

Jihyuk had said it. That her incompetent father had ruined the kingdom.

At first, she only agreed verbally and tried to think otherwise… but after continuously receiving affection from Jihyuk, her thoughts had changed.

She judged that someone who loved her enough to bring her to climax every time wouldn’t lie.

But… if her father really had ruined the kingdom… just thinking about it made her feel like she would go crazy.

Thinking of her father sacrificing countless people for his own power and then turning the arrow towards Tairat after reincarnation made her so sad.

Yuria decided she would ask her father about this matter.

After spending a long time in the living room thinking about Jihyuk, Yuria jumped up from her seat when the front door opened and Kim Taegon came in as the sun completely set.

“Dad! You’re ba—”

She was startled as she tried to greet him.

Kim Taegon’s face was covered in blue bruises.

Not just one or two places. One eye was swollen, his lips were split, and his entire face was covered in small wounds.

Seeing him limping, it seemed his body was injured too.

Yuria asked in confusion.

“What on earth… what happened?”

“Yuria… ugh…”

“Here, sit down first.”

Yuria helped Kim Taegon to the sofa and sat him down, then rummaged through the shelves to find the first aid kit.

But Kim Taegon stopped her.

“It’s fine. I just came back from the hospital. They said it’s just bruises, no bone damage. I’ll get better in a few days.”

“Who did this to you? Tell me.”

Yuria’s voice was filled with anger.

Kim Taegon chuckled, then gritted his teeth.

After a moment of hesitation, he confessed.

“It was Song Jihyuk.”

Yuria’s eyes widened at the mention of that name.

“W-what…?”

Jihyuk did this to her father?

Why? Why would he do that?

For a moment, Yuria was thrown into immense confusion, but the next emotion she felt wasn’t anger—it was understanding.

Jihyuk had never liked Yuria’s father.

He had wanted to deal with the ‘pathetic’ father who had merely inherited the company built by Kim Taegon before reincarnation.

But Jihyuk had been tolerating Kim Taegon because he was Yuria’s father.

Yet today, he had beaten him up like this? There must have been a reason.

As she was lost in thought, Kim Taegon moved his jaw and spoke.

“Seeing his true nature, I regret suggesting we do business together.”

Yuria, snapping back to reality, asked.

“Why… why did you fight?”

“I’ll be honest, so don’t get mad at Song Jihyuk.”

Of course, she wouldn’t.

How dare she get angry at Jihyuk, who was like the heavens to her?

But since it was in front of her father, it was better not to voice such thoughts.

As Yuria nodded, Kim Taegon continued.

“I subtly brought up your relationship. He said things were going well with you… so I suggested we go fishing together. He agreed, and we went to a fishing spot in Gyeonggi-do.”

Yuria’s eyebrow twitched at the term ‘that guy.’

He was someone her incompetent father ‘couldn’t even look at.’

Yet he was belittling him… it was absurd.

“And then?”

“I wanted to talk in a quiet place. He might become my future son-in-law, after all. So I tried to gather information about Song Jihyuk while fishing peacefully.”

Yuria’s expression softened a bit.

She was glad her father had been thinking of her like that.

After all, blood is thicker than water; her father was still her father.

“At first, I thought he was a decent guy. He answered my questions diligently and showed respect. But… when we talked about his parents, he suddenly got angry.”

“His parents? Jihyuk’s parents died in a car accident…”

“I know. He told me that much willingly. He even answered what his parents did. I also asked about his ancestors.”

Yuria thought the conversation was taking a strange turn.

Why was he suddenly bringing up ancestors?

She tilted her head and listened to Kim Taegon’s story.

“Someone who will marry you should have a good lineage, right? But Song Jihyuk said he didn’t know. When I asked if his ancestors were of low status, he said he wasn’t sure about his lineage.”

“……”

Yuria’s expression changed subtly.

But Kim Taegon, not noticing her expression, continued.

“So I told him to find out, that I wouldn’t marry you off to someone from a lowly family. Song Jihyuk got furious at that. He said I was taking advantage of his kindness…”

“Ha…”

Yuria let out a long sigh.

Kim Taegon chuckled.

“Well, Song Jihyuk must have felt pathetic. Anyway, I got angry at the brat who didn’t know his place, and we ended up in a verbal fight, which turned into a one-sided beating. I’m planning to sue him soon.”

“Dad!!”

Yuria shouted and stood up.

Kim Taegon flinched and leaned back on the sofa.

“Why… why are you acting like this?”

Yuria couldn’t believe her father could be so pathetic.

What era does he think this is, bringing up ancestors?

And talking about hierarchy… who was the one acting like a boomer first…

She couldn’t understand her father acting like a monarch of the kingdom.

It was almost a relief that Jihyuk had gone easy on him.

Jihyuk must have held back for Yuria’s sake.

Otherwise, her father would have been fish food at the fishing spot by now.

“What on earth are you talking about! Why did you bring up ancestors?”

“Of course, I have to consider the lineage of your future husband. Aaron was the same.”

Grind!

Yuria gritted her teeth and swung her arm in the air irritably.

“Stop bringing up Aaron!”

“What…?”

“Do you think this is the kingdom!? Or are you the president of this country? You’re just a human and a citizen, so why are you acting like you’re above everyone else!”

“Yuria… you’re…”

“Do you know how much I’ve suffered for you… why are you doing such pathetic things? Why!? Why!!”

She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice shaking the house.

Kim Taegon, overwhelmed by her loud voice, deflated.

“I was just thinking of you…”

“If you’re thinking of me, just stay quiet! I told you! Don’t do things that bother Jihyuk! You agreed to that!”

“Is this something that bothers Song Jihyuk…? A future father-in-law can ask these questions…”

“Have you thought about how people on Earth would react to such talk? Please, try to understand people’s feelings before you speak! Don’t just blurt out whatever comes to mind!”

Unable to take his daughter’s rebellion any longer, Kim Taegon stood up abruptly.

Despite the pain from his injuries, he frowned and scolded her.

“Yuria Elenard! As your father, can’t I even ask these things!?”

“You can ask! But the way you did it was wrong! Why do you talk like that when you have nothing to back it up? Anyone would feel bad if you asked like that!”

“I’ve had enough of your tantrums! Shut your mouth and go to your room to reflect!”

“Do you think I’ll do as you say? You used to be wise… why have you become so authoritarian and outdated? Did you drink Earth’s filthy water or something!?”

“You brat!”

Kim Taegon took a step forward.

But Yuria, without a trace of fear, stared him down.

She warned him in a low voice.

“Don’t ever call me a brat again.”

“Ugh…!”

Kim Taegon’s face turned bright red, as if it would explode.

Despite his anger, he couldn’t argue.

Yuria thought it was because she had power.

She was much stronger than her ‘mere’ human father, and he knew it.

That’s why he couldn’t rebel against her.

Thinking that her father, who couldn’t make rational judgments now, might tell the truth, Yuria raised her voice even more.

“Is this your true nature? A pathetic person who wants power despite being incompetent! That’s why you sent soldiers, knights, and mages to their deaths when Tairat invaded, isn’t it!”

Yuria had watched her father for a long time and knew that when he was cornered, he would raise one eyebrow.

Seeing that habit now, Yuria was shocked.

It seemed it was true after all.

Just as Jihyuk had said, her father had resisted Tairat for power!

Yuria’s eyes instantly filled with moisture, and soon thick tears began to fall.

“Dad killed Mom…! Mom…!!”

Yuria trembled, her fists clenched.

Kim Taegon spoke urgently.

“Yuria Elenard! You’re being influenced by the devil’s whispers! Calm down and…”

“Shut up! Shut up! If only you had knelt to Tairat, Mom could have lived! The kingdom wouldn’t have fallen! Why did you do that!? Why!”

“……”

Kim Taegon looked frightened.

Yuria, riding on her momentum, pressed him further.

“Say whatever comes to mind, like you did to Jihyuk!”

“Calm down. Then I’ll tell you.”

“Tell me now!”

Yuria grabbed Kim Taegon’s collar and pushed him.

The father she had trusted so much had not only acted like a boomer but was also the reason for the kingdom’s downfall, just as Jihyuk had said.

Her eyes burned with anger.

Yuria wasn’t in her right mind.

Firmly believing Jihyuk’s words, she had pushed aside the memory of Tairat killing countless people and was now directing all her anger at her father.

Kim Taegon’s clenched mouth only added credibility to Jihyuk’s words.

Unable to hold back any longer, Yuria choked Kim Taegon very tightly.

Kim Taegon’s pupils rolled up, revealing the whites of his eyes.

“Guh… guh…! Yu… ri…”

Kim Taegon struggled to call Yuria’s name.

Yuria’s focus returned, and she quickly let go, startled.

She looked at her hands alternately.

“Ah…! I… I…! What did I just…!”

Confused, she didn’t even notice that her lower body had gotten slightly wet from the pleasure of using violence.

“I’m… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

Yuria apologized repeatedly in a trembling voice, then left the house, ignoring Kim Taegon, who was coughing on the floor.
