I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 298

A thick hatred.

And beyond that, a faint obsession.

"You used to treat all your batchmates like idiots, calling us slaves and whatnot.

After having your special early graduation ceremony, you still came back here?

What, wanted to gloat over our pitiful chains or something?"

Baek Seol bit her lip, reading the emotions pouring out from him.

Even though their end had been disastrous,

if you asked whether she could say she 100% hated, despised, and loathed him—

she couldn’t say yes with complete certainty.

"...You’re... alive."

"...What?"

That's why she could only force the words out with difficulty.

All the rage she once had toward him had already burned away the moment she crushed his balls and turned him into a eunuch.

What remained now was only a faint sense of sadness and pity.

"Ahahahaha!"

Jin Guok suddenly burst out laughing.

After laughing boisterously, he abruptly dropped his expression.

"Alive? Of course I’m alive.

What, did you think I’d fucking die or something?"

"No, I just...."

"Maybe someone like you, who always stood at the top and even became a Knight of One, wouldn’t understand—

but I was always just barely beneath you.

Someone like me wouldn’t die from just one kick."

"...."

Back then,

unable to control his emotions, Jin Guok had hurled insults he should never have said.

Enraged, Baek Seol had kicked him squarely in the crotch.

Without holding back her strength,

his testicles had completely ruptured.

He had become a eunuch.

If they had left it untreated,

he probably would have died.

"Thanks to you, I’m neither a man nor a woman anymore.

But it’s fine.

Because I realized something even more important."

"Something more important?"

For a man, what could be more important than that?

If you looked at Go Muyeol, his dick seemed more precious to him than anything.

"Freedom."

"!"

Baek Seol’s eyes widened.

"Was it the day after I confessed to you?

You shattered my world.

I had been blindly thinking that becoming a Knight of One was the highest honor and ultimate success.

But you woke me up to the truth.

That longing for freedom had already started sprouting back then."

"That's—"

"You were right, Baek Seol.

Serving someone isn’t glorious.

It’s just being a slave.

We were born to be sold into slavery,

trained through brutal hardships for all those years.

Our lives were tainted with misery from the start.

No matter how much they try to whitewash it with loyalty,

the truth—that it's a tragedy—doesn't change."

Baek Seol let out a long sigh.

It was like she was looking at her past self.

In the old days,

she had thought the same—

that knights were just slaves,

and that a Knight of One was nothing more than a personal slave.

Back then,

those thoughts had weighed heavily on her chest,

and she had always been frustrated why none of the others realized it.

But now....

‘He's got it completely backwards.’

‘You're wrong, Baek Seol.’

‘By serving my lord, I found true freedom.’

She thought completely differently now.

"No. It's different.

Knights... aren't slaves.

You're thinking wrong.

Just like I used to."

Jin Guok narrowed his eyes.

"...You’ve changed a lot since I last saw you.

I guess by now you've spread your legs enough times that you can’t think any differently.

You’ve already become a slave.

Even if you resent your situation,

you can only rationalize it to protect your own pride.

In the end, that’s all you amounted to."

"..."

Vicious words.

Even back then,

it was this kind of talk that made her lose it and crush his balls.

She could smash him again now if she wanted.

But this time,

she decided to let it go.

Because he looked... truly broken.

And she felt a sense of responsibility for that.

"Well, don’t feel too bad about it.

You’re a mess, sure,

but I’m no better.

After you became a slave, I got dragged off to a lab."

"A lab...?"

"Yeah.

I came here today because I was being transferred to another lab.

They said I was lucky.

That it’s rare for the timing to work out like this.

Told me to stop by and see the graduation ceremony one last time.

Never thought I'd run into you, though."

"..."

"You took away my manhood—

but you also gave me the realization of freedom.

That's why I hated you,

but at the same time,

I respected you."

Jin Guok declared firmly.

"I’m going to find my freedom."

"!"

"Right now, I’m nothing but a lab rat,

shackled by loyalty.

But I will find freedom.

I’ll become a free man,

and I'll sit down one day,

drinking, laughing about what I once was.

And when I do,

I’ll think of you too, Baek Seol."

"..."

"If you want to report me as a traitor to the family, go ahead.

No matter what hardship comes my way,

my will won’t break.

Whatever ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) happens,

I’ll use it as a stepping stone for freedom."

He was utterly determined.

So resolute that it was admirable—and at the same time, reckless.

Baek Seol felt a strange sensation.

Discomfort?

Pity?

There was a storm of emotions she couldn’t name.

‘Was I... like that toward my lord?’

Standing at the most glorious and free position possible,

yet seeing it as a shackle and slavery—

such frustrating, blind ignorance.

How could she make him realize that true freedom was precisely in that unconditional trust and loyalty?

‘You can only understand... by serving your lord.’

She herself hadn’t known,

not until Go Muyeol taught her,

not until he opened her eyes.

"It’s not really my place to say this,

since I’m the one who made you that way....

But find yourself a good lord.

Then you’ll understand.

You’ll see what real freedom is."

"You still leave curses until the very end."

"..."

Jin Guok turned his back on her.

As if he had no regrets.

It was completely different from the past—

when he had clung onto her despite claiming he didn’t care.

"Go back to your master, slave."

Baek Seol watched his figure disappear and muttered quietly:

"You said you were dragged to a lab.

Yet you’re walking around freely like this....

That alone proves you’re already free, Jin Guok.

The freedom you’re looking for—

it's just your shackles wearing a different mask."

Ironically,

watching Jin Guok only made Baek Seol more certain of the value of her lord’s absolute trust.

"Ahh! Aah, aaang!!"

"Khgh!"

I was buried in Kim Seoye’s breasts, pouring out another thick load, when it happened.

Just as I was trembling and twitching from orgasm,

the door opened with a knock—and Baek Seol stepped inside.

"I’ve returned, my lord."

"Oh...?"

She bowed her head politely with her usual chic expression.

Same as always—

but somehow, there was a faintly sentimental air about her.

Guess nostalgia really could soften a person.

"Haa... you came back early.

Faster than I thought."

"I’ve seen enough."

"Yeah?"

I had let Baek Seol go, hoping she’d take a little trip down memory lane,

but she came back much earlier than I expected.

Even if she had just wandered around the training center, looking at everything,

it should have taken her longer than this.

"Did you get enough time to talk with your batchmates?"

"..."

Baek Seol made a face like she was remembering something,

then gave a small nod.

"Yes.

I confronted my past."

"Oh... yeah?"

Weird way to answer.

"We’re leaving tomorrow.

If there’s anything left you want to do, you should go now. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

You don’t know when you’ll ever get another chance to come back.

People will scatter eventually, and who knows what’ll happen?"

"...Thank you for your consideration.

But I’m fine."

"Yeah...?"

‘No matter how you look at it, she came back too fast to have done much.

Was she... a loner?’

I considered it for a second but shook my head immediately.

There was no way someone like Baek Seol—perfect in every way—would ever be an outcast.

Especially with her overwhelming strength.

‘Well... she says she’s done, so no point forcing her back out there.’

In that case—

Squelch.

"Hngh."

I pulled my cock out of Kim Seoye’s pussy.

Her inner flesh clung stubbornly to it,

but eventually my dick slipped out,

with a flood of semen gushing after it.

"Remember where this is?"

"...Yes.

It was my room."

"And it’s also the place where I took your first time."

For some reason, Baek Seol smiled faintly.

"Yes.

It’s also where I realized what true freedom was."

Freedom...?

"The day my lord awakened me to freedom—

it was like being born again."

"Oh... really?"

Was it that big a deal?

"I used to constantly pity myself and my situation.

But after that day, I never thought that way again."

"Is that so?

Then what are you thinking about now?"

"That I’m fortunate... to have become your exclusive knight."

"I was just thinking the same thing—

that I’m lucky to have you as my knight.

In many ways."

Baek Seol smiled softly,

then began undressing.

She knew exactly what I wanted now—too well.

"Above all else,

what makes me happiest is that I am a woman who can embrace her master."

"We’re in complete agreement.

I think so too."

Baek Seol climbed up onto the bed and wrapped herself around me.

She smelled intoxicatingly good.
