The king also watched as their play came to an end. From the moment that Hyunmu had mentioned “Your Majesty”, he had been listening to their story with some concentration.

    ‘As expected.’

    At the point when an illegitimate child suddenly appeared in the family, that child was an illegitimate child.

    If he could kill his younger brother and bring him back to raise him, the child would naturally become the king’s property. The fact that he had already decided to give his heart to him was something Ju Han did not know.

    If I had known, I would have considered killing them both.

    “Anyway, are the kids going back now?”

    He quietly watched the situation and then contacted his followers. It was possible for him to do so, since he was harboring evil.

    If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

    “Now the white tiger is returning. Aim at the one inside the carriage. Not outside the carriage.”

    -“Yes? Wouldn’t it be okay if it’s the same white tiger?”

    “No, aim for the twin brother.”

    They knew better than anyone that they couldn’t handle a twin brother. In the first place, they weren’t involved in that.

    Besides, there was only one being that needed to be tamed. It was his twin brother.

    ‘Normally, it would be right for them to have a hard time handling the liquid with their skilled assassins.’

    That also means that the young white tiger has great power.

    His value was not known to others, and Ju-san was certain that he was the only one who could handle him properly.

    So, this was what was going on, but they had no idea. Those young children were busy seeing each other off right now.

    “Chi, are you really going?”

    The mountain began to speak as if it was a little disappointing. It looked truly lonely.

    “Oh, right, it’s not like we’re not meeting, we’re going to meet in a few days, does that matter?”

    The blue dragon continued speaking while roughly patting his head.

    “I’ve been bored lately!”

    Rather, he was a crown prince who seemed very young. In terms of age, he was similar to Baek Yi-yeon, and for those who wished for Yi-yeon to give off that kind of vibe, this fact made them feel a little sad.

    There was no way Lee Yeon could feel or understand it, and there was no need for her to… . It was an unavoidable part.

    The Blue Dragon and the Red Bird hoped that this young White Tiger could live a little more like a human being.

    Even though he was a god, he was just a person. Just a person. It was inevitable that a bitter smile would form.

    “If you’re that bored, why don’t you come over and ask His Majesty for permission?”

    “chi.”

    Those who had somehow managed to appease him thus got into their carriages.

    Only then did Lee Han begin to see the image of his brother that he often saw.

    It was only then that the feeling of anxiety began to gradually disappear.

    I began to feel relieved at the fact that he was becoming a brother I knew, rather than a brother I didn’t know.

    To that person, even though it was very small, he began to feel a sense of urgency. No matter who he was, he was the one he knew. That was right.

    However, the mere fact that this being called Baek Yi-yeon had shown an invisible form in front of him made him extremely uncomfortable. It shouldn’t have been like that.

    “We will bring the reporters.”

    The servants who had been watching the children play from afar began to go back, so they called the knights of the White Tiger family who had gone to the training ground and began to return.

    So he got into the carriage and, on the way, he asked.

    “Did you have fun?”

    It was a question directed at Lee Yeon. It was a small grudge from someone who had never seen his brother enjoy himself to that extent, and who felt that he had to bring it out.

    Whether or not he knew about his ill temper, Lee Yeon just nodded slightly.

    “Yes.”

    There was no such thing as lying in his dictionary. In the first place, it was impossible.

    Lee Yeon thought that if he lied and was caught, he might die.

    It was natural for Lee Yeon, who had thought that he wanted to avoid that.

    Whether they knew or not, their misunderstandings continued to pile up. From the beginning, it was natural since they both thought it was impossible to have an open conversation.

    So, after a while of silence, Lee Han began to express the things he was curious about.

    It was an action that started from the thought that if not now, there would be no chance.

    However, that was something that should not have been done.

    “Kyung, Kyeong-eun – Aren’t you being treated as an illegitimate child?”

    “Yes.”

    “Or, Kyung. Kyung, have you ever wondered about Kyung’s mother?”

    I just wanted to know if he knew or not. I wondered if he had ever felt it.

    A curiosity that cannot be said to be pure. A curiosity that wants to find out the reason why it is different from mine.

    Slowly. Very slowly, he began to press on Yeon.

    “I don’t know.”

    His answer followed. At first, he hesitated to answer. It was because he had heard from his room manager that Madam was trying to fulfill that role.

    However, making an effort and having a child feel that way were two different things. He was definitely not that kind of person.

    She was just a person who had to take care of the child. She was someone who had to be taken care of.

    It was fortunate that he didn’t get cursed at for calling that person a mother, like an illegitimate child crawling up to him.

    At Lee Yeon’s answer, Lee Han seemed to feel a little dizzy.

    My brother doesn’t know his mother. That one fact, it hit him so hard. That’s how it was. He never thought of his mother as his mother.

    Just the fact that it was coming had significant repercussions for him.

    “Then… . Have you ever wondered?”

    “No. I heard he’s already dead.”

    “… … .”

    There was no way to continue the story.

    For him, his only family was his half-brother, Lee Han, and his father, whom he called the head of the household.

    And that’s not all, the family that should have treated him well as a family, abused, neglected, harassed him because he was an illegitimate child, and even attempted to poison him…

    Only one thought crossed Lee Han’s mind.

    ‘I wonder if my brother can really like us?’

    The simple answer to that question has already been given. And, the moment I realized it, the thought occurred to me that conversation might be nearly impossible.

    “It’s the enemy!!!!”

    A loud voice was heard from the knights guarding the carriage. Then, Lee Yeon tried to head outside.

    “Kyung is here!!!”

    Lee Han shouted loudly. Also, he didn’t want to see him covered in blood. The knights outside were elite as well.

    Lee Yeon froze at his words.

    “But, Your Majesty.”

    “The knights outside are elite too. You don’t have to come out.”

    Even if he doesn’t step forward, things will work out on their own. They will.

    And, that kind of belief is scary.

    “Kkaaah!!”

    There were endless screams outside. Even the voices calling for Lee Yeon echoed. However, Lee Han did not let him go. Because the Knights were never tired.

    While being so scared, he held onto Yeon.

    -Crunch.

    With the door open, the carriage began to move forward. Towards Yihan, exactly. And… Yiyeon, who sensed the precise movement of the energy-…

    -Bam.

    Blood poured from his arm. The pungent scent of blood filled the carriage.

    “… Huh- bro?”

    The name that shouldn’t have been called came out first. That was it. I ended up calling him hyung. However, he didn’t take it seriously. He didn’t think it was a slip of the tongue.

    The person who made the mistake of speaking may not even have known that he made the mistake.

    ‘It’s my fault… what…?’

    I failed to make the right judgment. I thought I could deal with the enemy without even knowing him. My body didn’t even move.

    But Lee Han’s brother moved. As if he had experienced something like this before.

    “Krrrr… .”

    A low, resonating growl.

    My arm was almost cut off. If I got hit again, my arm would be cut off.

    I felt it. They are strong. I couldn’t let my guard down.

    Whatever was being said behind his back was not important at the moment.

    I could clearly feel that the young master behind me was not an opponent I could handle.

    ‘I won’t use my powers, I’ll stop them here.’

    The current emotions were so intense. If I fight while using it… .

    There was a possibility that it would work. Lee Yeon heard a voice that seemed to be shouting at him to use his ability, but he pretended not to hear it.

    “Huh, are those really twins? They block all your swords.”

    “Didn’t our master say that in the first place?

    The tone was sly and stiff. It was an irritating tone. It was a tone that made you think of someone. The child tried to erase that possibility and thrust his sword.

    The exact vital point. He rushed in as if to stab me there.

    …it was the beginning of an unexpected battle.
