All Chapters of The Girl of an Old Mansion: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Soon his body was at the surface of sand. The moment he opened his eyes, above him was the clear blue sky more vivid than ever before. He woke up engulfed in full oblivion; in front of him lay the view of the endless roaring sea. The cool waves were licking his feet, fizzing and bubbling like brine. The man stood still, facing the soft breeze inhaling the briny aroma. The melody of tides washing the shore was soothing and soporific to his ears.Lost in the tranquillity of gentle hue of gold beneath feet, cold onshore breeze blew humming a serene melody across his ears and adoring the gurgling and the gushing of the waves, a sudden giggle brought him back to his senses.He turned around in precocity only to find his wife and daughter beaming with smiles looking at him. The little girl immediately grabs her father’s hand, interlinking their fingers and clin

In the palacePrince Jian’s condition was getting dreadful. He even started to see dark shadows in daylight. He felt the dark shadows cohering with him all the time and also felt them sucking his energy out of him like a parasite. He could see everything clearly, how the shadows move as though they had a life of their own, watching him and shifting with his movements. Spirits lurked in the shadows, watching him.Talking about his appearance, he looked like a living skeleton. His once handsome fair skin and bright eyes had now become pale, swollen and barren ones. He was living in terror and spoke in a tremulous voice.Jian often yammered about a wild cry disturbing the silence of the night and eventually shrunk in horror. His tone grew thrillingly distinct as he whispered to Ruyi about the disfigured bodies roaming around him and glaring at him with hatred.“Ruyi! Ruyi! They are coming here, please hold me. Don't leave me!&rdq

Isuel was crying, her heart settled low at the cavity of her chest. The grief and guilt in her heart spread through her body like a poison burning in her veins. The harsh reality exposed to her like a slap that eventually made her realise her sin. She walked to her room with heavy footsteps and flopped down on her bed.She closed her eyes and allowed her to drown into the memory of that fateful night.One lady and her son were standing in front of her. The lady was clueless what was happening or why they were summoned by the queen until she saw her daughter. Min-shi, that poor girl was begging to not to drag her family and to spare their lives.Mi-sook ordered the two to be killed. Horrified by the order, the lady started begging for their lives, her little son whose tooth was yet to come, hid behind her mother shivering in fear looking at the sword near their neck. All of a sudden, the loud groaning stopped and in no time the ground was flooded with the blood o

He nodded and left. Ruyi quickly hid herself behind a wall.Ruyi had just discovered Mi-sook’s secret. It was shocking yet frightful, she became restless, her eyes were opened wide due to an utter flick, as if the whole world was breaking and crumbling apart around her. Just there she stood quite in total paralysis, lost in thoughts of who has been the most hapless, pitiable and miserable person in all this case Mi-sook, Nabi, Prince, Jian, Jian’s parents or Ruyi herself. She knew one thing that she must inform the Emperor about Mi-sook’s conspiracy before it's too late.Meanwhile, Lord Yong and the Emperor were having a secret meeting at the hall. They were in the middle of their conversation and a sudden sound of rushing footsteps disrupted them. Suddenly, a loud slam of the door made both of them sit up, startled. To their surprise, it was Ruyi.Ruyi breathed as if no air would ever be enough, as if she were a drowning victim suddenly brough

“I knew about his condition, brother Nyang told me about him. Yes, I am sad hearing about his death but I never felt any affection toward him as we never met. He didn't even know my existence; he was like a stranger to me. But still, it would be an arduous state for everyone in Noam, especially for his parents. Noam again became heirless. I can feel their pain, as everything they did was to give an heir to Noam and now, he is gone. It's really heart wrenching.” Si-ri said in a weak voice.Just then Si-ri saw Nyang walking towards the cave. Nyang looked tired as if he hadn't gotten any sleep since several nights. When Si-ri got the clear image of his face she became scared. His eyes were swollen and his overall appearance was inkling that something terrible had happened.Nyang stood mute in front of Si-ri looking at the ground. Si-ri’s heart was thumping fast looking at Nyang’s bizarre demeanour. She came close to him and asked him apprehensively
