by admin-Kkieeeek… thud.
I feel a huge energy flowing towards my audience room.
There was a very faint energy, but it didn’t matter.
What I wished for was someone with that huge energy. Because that was the one.
I look down at him as he approaches. The figure lying on his stomach is that of a knight.
‘hmm.’
If you like it, then you like it. Judging by the strength, it was clear that they were twins.
‘Tsk.’
I couldn’t have twins. It was dangerous, to begin with.
Twins were extremely dangerous. There was no need to say how dangerous they were. I already knew it so well that I was sick of it.
The fact that he listened so obediently meant that their education had been successful, and that was why they would never hand him over.
‘In the first place, twins are not direct descendants, and they are losing their ability to continue.’
He wanted to make the house itself a direct subordinate to the royal family. He did not need something so lowly that he was treated as an illegitimate child and raised in a lowly manner.
‘That doesn’t mean there is no opportunity at all.’
Every time, I felt strangely attracted to those damned pure white cats, but that doesn’t mean there was any beast of death that could completely reject this king. After all, beasts of death are beings that are subordinate to the king.
It was just that he occasionally felt annoyed at the royal family’s restraint.
From the previous generation to the present, even the next generation of the family has looked at me with hostility. To be exact, it was a look of caution.
The one who appeared to be my twin brother just looked at me straight in the eye without any emotion, but the younger brother did not.
‘Tsk. I guess I take after my mother in being smart.’
It was a gaze that reminded me of that rotten woman named Choi Jin-ah, who saw through the essence of everything I did and opposed anything that would benefit any of the four families of the Four Guardians.
That much, I didn’t like the look in his eyes as my twin brother.
If only the madmen who wished for the liquid running wild inside to rule the world weren’t there, they would secretly assassinate them and bring them into their possession.
“I understand Your Majesty’s intentions. However, I doubt whether we, the lowly ones, can dare to be His Highness the Crown Prince’s playmates.”
The reckless one objected to me. I felt bad about that, but I didn’t show it. I am a dragon, and I am the highest being who guards this place.
“Why do you think so?”
I had to ask calmly. It was enough to show my feelings only when I was alone.
There’s no reason for me to show them something that even my son doesn’t know.
“We are just a bunch of mere warriors with great military prowess. As someone who will eventually rule this country, you are meeting us… .”
It was a cliche. It was like, why would you look down on a humble family that only handles swords?
“Well, then does that mean that what you do as a Grim Reaper is just swinging a sword?”
“… That’s not what I meant-”
He was a smart man beyond his years, but that was all.
“What you say is very open to interpretation, Confucius.”
He even gave me the title of Confucius, which I didn’t even envy, and now when he speaks and treats me well, he tells me to just understand and accept these words and actions.
“And, if what you say is true… . It would be appropriate for you, the Sashinsu family, to meet the next monarch at least once.”
A good and kind king who shows himself in front of others.
He said it while showing off that appearance.
“Isn’t that what he needs for the country he will rule in the future? The Sashinsu family and the royal family must always communicate.”
“… … .”
That was true. That was the custom, the tradition, and in this country where most of the collateral families were registered as nobles, these were the highest noble families.
“Isn’t that right?”
“… . I am sorry, Your Majesty. I am still immature… .”
“No, that could be possible. Then, I guess you gave permission.”
“… Yes.”
The younger brother leaves the seat while saying goodbye. At the same time… .
-Kwaang.
“Fucking bastards.”
He slammed the wall. How dare he, on my subject. On the subject of the trash I have to deal with.
“Tsk.”
When and how should I get my hands on them? These were the only worries that filled my head.
Immediately after our audience with the King, we headed straight to meet the Crown Prince.
And yet, I pondered over what the king had said.
The glare in his eyes that he was clearly looking at was not the glare he was looking at us with.
Those were the eyes that were aimed at my brother. I didn’t seem to think much of them. Those bitter and gloomy eyes.
Although it wasn’t clear exactly what he wanted, it was clear that he coveted his brother’s power.
I don’t think I can hand over my brother. We’re not that close.
However, the thoughts contained in those crimson eyes were completely unreadable. It felt as if he was someone who had no interest in this world, or rather, in living itself.
Yeah, just like my brother.
“Your Majesty.”
“Why, sir?”
“This is the doorstep.”
“Ah.”
Before I knew it, I had reached the room where the crown prince was playing.
“Let’s go in.”
In that place… .
A cute child who looked exactly like the king, but much younger and cuter. It seemed like his every thought could be read. He was playing with children who had different powers.
“Oh, new friends?”
As he spoke, he came towards us, waving his hand.
“Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you.”
I was the first to give my greetings and give my brother a brief greeting as well.
The crown prince seemed a little embarrassed by our greeting, but soon greeted us.
“I’m the main character! What about you?”
“I am Baek Yi-yeon, and the person behind me is Baek Yi-han.”
“Both names are pretty!”
He looked at us with a pretty smile.
“Do you want to play with me?”
His words, speaking to us as equals, felt a little warm.
It felt like a completely different atmosphere from the king who spoke to me with warm words. It was a feeling I had for the first time.
“It’s an honor.”
I followed him, smiling.
While my master was walking along the road, I caught sight of a person.
Red hair. Blue eyes.
A face that reminds me of the landlady. Something like that. That kind of face.
Why is that face? A younger and more youthful face. The tails of the eyes don’t even resemble hers.
And yet… .
For some reason, my eyes kept getting drawn to it.
I felt my heart pounding.
My thoughts seemed to be being eaten up by my heart.
That, my heart ached. Why did it have to be like this? In order not to look at that woman, I deliberately avoided the place.
Then, a person approached me.
“Why are you here?”
That was the crown prince who had offered his greetings earlier.
“… . It’s awkward, that’s why.”
“Really? Why?”
“… Yes?”
“If you’re awkward, there must be a reason!”
“… .”
I didn’t know what to say. Telling them that this was my first time hanging out with nobles would have made them think I was an illegitimate child.
I would have to answer that I hate crowded places – because the place I train and the place I live are crowded places.
Of course, I doubt they would care about that.
Even though I knew it wasn’t true, my intuition kept telling me not to approach.
‘Don’t come near.’
If I approached it, I felt like I would just collapse. She seemed like the kind of woman who could do that.
When I was so scared.
“Kyung, come here.”
“… Yes.”
My master called me. … I didn’t want to go, but it was my job to follow him.
At that sight, he tilted his head slightly. It must have been an unusual sight for the crown prince. He seemed to be a fellow noble, and he seemed to be from the same family, but I approached him with respect.
Some people seemed to have a rough idea of what kind of person I was.
That was the moment.
“Hello?”
The woman spoke to me.
“… !”
In an instant, I felt my heart pounding.
“Hello! I am the Balsam Flower of the Jujak Family! My name is Seonhwa!”
“… … . My name is Baekhoga’s Lee Yeon, Baek Lee Yeon.”
I greeted her in the same way as she greeted me.
She smiled at my greeting.
“That’s a pretty name. Are you the younger sibling?”
“… … . That’s-”
“That’s it.”
The master interrupted my greeting and answered. At that point, I had already developed a certain degree of awareness of them.
I am an illegitimate child.
“… . I’ll be leaving for a moment.”
“What? Why? You play too.”
“… … . No. I’m just a little dizzy.”
“… … … Uh… . Okay.”
… … . I also needed to calm my heart.
