Noonbyeol told Gwi, one of Neanthal's men, to return to Mantiev. She wants to know the news of her daughter who is being cared for by her sister, Chaeeun. But the news that Gwi brought was not just about Taeri.(*)

"Chaeeun and Roddib are now on the Plains of the Moon. She is treating an Igutu. And guess who is he?"

"Speak clearly, Gwi," Yiseu reprimanded.

"Tagon."

All who heard this widened their eyes.

"Tagon? You mean the previous king of Arthdal?" Noonbyeol can't believe it.

"Yes."

"Is he still alive?" Eunseom asked.

"Still unconscious when I went there, but yes, he was still alive."

Tanya glanced at Saya. His face did not show any expression, but Tanya knew, many things raged in that man's mind.

"And Lady Tanya's father was there too."

Tanya was surprised, "my father?"

~~~

Tagon's eyeballs seemed to move in his closed eyelids. The eyes slowly open. Yeolson who took care of him, immediately called Chaeeun to check.

"Niruha, can you hear me?" Call Chaeeun while moving her fingers in front of Tagon's eyes. The eyeball followed Chaeeun's hand movements.

"Blink your eyes once if you hear me."

Tagon blinked once. Chaeeun smiled with relief.

"How?" Yeonbal asked.

"Niruha has passed his critical period. But he is still weak and seems unable to speak."

The sound of horses approaching the cave. Yeonbal is on standby with a drawn sword. Chaeeun and Yeolson each carried the babies, while Roddib also prepared his paws. But their tension and fear vanished as soon as they knew who was coming.

"Tanya!!!" Exclaimed Yeolson as he approached and hugged his daughter.

"Father, thank God you're safe."

"I am grateful that you survived the attack last time. I have been worried about you every day."

Noonbyeol immediately took her daughter who was carried by Chaeeun. The baby's lips formed a cute smile, as if she knew that her mother, who had been gone for 3 months, finally returned home.

"Oh my... you're already this big now. Sorry, Taeri, mom went too long to not watch your growth period," Noonbyeol wiped the tears at the tip of her eyelids.

While breastfeeding Taeri, Noonbyeol glanced at Saya who was kneeling beside a large rock where Tagon was lying weak.

"You saved that man," said Noonbyeol.

"I know, he's the cause of our parents' death. But I can't let him die. I don't know why my heart is so weak."

"Not weak, but nice. You are a very nice person, Sis. Fortunately, his warrior met you, not me."

Saya held Tagon's cold, weak hand.

"Father..."

Tagon's eyeballs stared at Saya, as if he had many words to say, but he could not make any sound other than a hoarse hiss.

"I think his throat are damaged by the Bichwisan effect, as well as his internal organs. But he is truly extraordinary because he can survive the deadly poison," explained Chaeeun.
