[Storybook] The Tale of the Oduksini

Chapter 5: Her Highness "Lee Duksoo, Warden of Donghae! You are well aware of your criminal acts!" Dolswe sat solemnly and began to question the two suspects. "A small price to pay for a great cause... but now you've ruined it all!" The Yeongam of the East admitted that he had someone powerful supporting him from the sidelines all along, and Dolswe dropped the traveler's jade orb in anger. Just then Yeonhwa, a welcome sight walked in. For some reason, suddenly, Dolswe fell to his knees in front of her. "O great Morning's Heir, I, Inspector Lee Mongryong, humbly witness your grace." The sinister energy of Dark Bonghwang began radiating from Yeonhwa. She revealed that the jade orb wasn't a relic of the Tiger Palace, and that it was the forbidden legacy of Taebaek. She had intentionally manipulated the situation to help the Oduksini regain its full power by pitting the traveler and the Yeongam against one another. "Ah, have I not told you once before about my troubles? I have a dreadfully ill brother... One I love as my own son. Now I finally have the power to save my king... Traveler, Mongryong...even you, Duksoo and Iksoon... I shall forever be in your debt." Even Dolswe was left with a look of dumbfounded confusion as he watched Yeonhwa disappear with the jade orb.
