Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

Chapter 169

After several months away, the grand Nine-Tiered Gates of the Tang Clan finally came into view.

From the First Gate to the Ninth Gate, they stretched deep into the clan’s heart, a towering symbol of power and legacy.

Seeing them again, I felt a strange sensation.

‘This place… actually feels like home now.’

Beside me, Geom-ryong and Kwon-ryong, the two senior warriors accompanying us, also gazed at the gates with nostalgia.

"It’s been a long time since I last saw the Tang Clan."

"Indeed, Geom-ryong. It’s been a while."

Hearing this, I turned to them curiously.

"Have you visited the Tang Clan before, Geom-ryong, Kwon-ryong hyungnims?"

"Of course, Gwang-ryong. That would have been—"

Just as Geom-ryong was about to explain, a sharp voice cut through his words like a blade.

"Hmm? Gwang-ryong? Did I hear that correctly?"

"Hwa-eun, did I mishear that? I could’ve sworn I heard Gwang-ryong again."

"Ack! L-Ladies, it was a mistake! I-I meant Bi-ryong! A few years ago, when you weren’t around, I came here once or twice on an errand…"

Poor Geom-ryong.

He had been speaking casually, looking toward the gates, when he accidentally uttered my forbidden nickname.

The sheer panic on his face resembled that of a man caught sneaking out at night to play games—only to be discovered by his mother.

And for good reason.

After those two had bestowed the ridiculous nickname Gwang-ryong (Mad Dragon) upon me, they had been scolded thoroughly by both Seol-noona and Hwa-eun.

From that moment on, Gwang-ryong had become a banned word.

Though, of course, they didn’t always obey that rule.

"Gwang-ryong?! You’re seriously calling my fiancé that?"

"So you’re choosing to insult my little brother? The eldest son of the Beast Palace?"

The last time those words were spoken in front of them, the response had been ice-cold stares and razor-sharp words.

"A-Ah, no, no! Please, ladies, calm down! You see, it was just a term of affection—"

"Affection? If you call him that twice, does that mean next time it’ll be Lustful Dragon or Perverted Dragon?"
