“ | We, Bi Yeong Pal Mu, are Your Majesty's shadow. As long as you do not call us, we do not appear. | ” |
–To Yi Won |
Baek Ryung was a member of the Bi Yeong Pal Mu, notably a personal guard of King Jin Won during his excursions.
Plot
Compact Heist Arc
One night, Baek Ryung was summoned by Yi Won as substitute to Heuk Rang to visit Yu Hyang Ru's Nabi.[1]
The next day when Nabi was poisoned, Baek Ryung tells Won to return to the palace for the court meetings, but he reprimands her for letting Nabi leave. She tells him that Bi Yeong Pal Mu are his shadow and will not appear unless he calls for them. He then tells her that she should be thankful he does not have a sword with him, much to Baek Ryung's nervousness. Left with no choice, they head back to the palace.[2]
Chase Arc
During one of his excursions, Won goes to the slums to catch a pickpocket. When he arrives at the site, he encounters Chung's ill brother, Woon, who admires the Crimson Moon so much that he wanted the current king to be replaced by the masked vigilante. Infuriated and insulted, Won calls for Baek Ryung to call for the Royal Army and burn the village. She then leads the army, but loses sight of the king and misses his escape. It is implied that she found him afterwards and accompanied him back to the palace. When they arrive, her captain Heuk Rang notices a wound on the king's face and scolds Baek Ryung for her carelessness of letting the king be wounded.[3]
Revolt Procurement Arc
At the gallery, Baek Ryung catches Baek Ho tailing Won and points her weapon at him from behind, asking who he is and what his purpose is for following the king. Baek Ho immediately grabs her and flees at once. As the king enters the shop, she leaves to catch Baek Ho first, having nothing or no one suspicious around in the location. She then flees and follows Baek Ho.[4]
Baek Ryung comes across Won asleep and wakes him up. He asks her if nobody was with him, and tells him that no one was with him when she arrived at the place. She adds that he seem to have "grown wings", making Won think that his "friend" truly exists.[5]
Trivia
- Her name means "white phantom". Like the other members of Bi Yeong Pal Mu, her alias was formed out of an adjectival color and a noun.
