"You should be able to count on me, Elizabeth. When you were my bodyguard, I could do anything for you!" King Morwen snapped for the umpteenth time.Word attack after word attack continued to be received. Elizabeth, who was already crying over her miserable fate, sobbed even more. Her tears flowed more and more heavily. A relentless flood ran down her cheeks.Elizabeth sat down where she was. She covered her tear-streaked face. All of King Morwen's words hurt her too much. Elizabeth cried her heart out in front of the man she still loved with the same feeling.Her crying lasted for a long time. King Morwen was confused about how to calm Elizabeth down. Finally King Morwen chose to wait until Elizabeth's crying subsided.Standing for too long made King Morwen tired. In the end, sitting became his choice. He sat across from Elizabeth. Face to face with the woman who might even be hurt by the words that came from his lips.For a long time the two of them sat there without a word, or a l

The night was getting late, the wind on top of the building was getting so cold and piercing to the bone. Even so, both of them still felt at home there as if they were not bothered by the cold air. Elizabeth rubbed the clear droplets that had been falling from her eyes. It feels very tight, if you have to remember and bring up the past that leaves endless wounds. While Morwen was silent, she felt guilty for snapping and cornering a woman who had experienced injustice for almost a thousand years. She had no idea that Elizabeth harbored this suffering herself. It was heart-wrenching for everyone who listened to her, especially since one of the causes of that suffering was herself.Every time Elizabeth said that she was just a lowly soldier, somehow her heart was so tight. Inappropriately, he now blamed Elizabeth for his silence in the face of the treachery and cunning of his own brother, King Draco."Who am I, just a lowly former soldier. It would be inappropriate for me to pit my gr

Silence. Everything was silent as if there was no life at all in that world. It was as if only the two of them lived on this earth. The moonlight did not even feel beautiful at all. It may have seemed pleasant to others, but to King Morwen himself it was nothing more than the atmosphere in a graveyard.He did not know what to say. It wasn't that he was afraid to say a word, it was just that he felt that at the moment his mind felt claustrophobic. Perhaps this was his habit. She could not say anything while there was nothing definite for her to do about the current situation.Elizabeth wiped away her tears. Finally after a long time she began to calm down. Everything she said earlier was effective enough to make her feel very relieved. Maybe it couldn't heal her old wounds, couldn't erase what had happened, and also couldn't grant all her wishes for a better life in this kingdom. She just wanted to pour it all out and in the end she felt that it was not in vain. After this she was sure

Everything King Morwen said, Elizabeth did not understand. She was confused, unable to grasp where the man was going. Even to ask, it felt very tiring. Until finally, they were now both silent and busy with their own thoughts.The dream of becoming a commoner kept crossing King Morwen's mind for a long time. Living in a place where humans were, made him a different person. This way, he could enjoy things that he could not do in the kingdom. Such as doing all kinds of things alone.Elizabeth continued to stare at the stars. At first she was not interested in seeing the starlight that shone so brightly on them this night. But when she glanced at King Morwen and he was staring up, it made Elizabeth curious.'What exactly is up there?' Elizabeth asked herself. Curious about what she would get if she also looked up.After all, why would King Morwen want to live as a commoner? Why was he discussing the love story of a commoner? Isn't being a son of a king and ending up as a king the happies

"We'd better investigate here first. If we don't find anything later, then we'll report to Uncle." Riko suggested.Edward rolled his eyes lazily. "As you wish," he replied, looking away.Riko knew that Edward would disagree with her suggestion just now, but she also had no other ideas other than this. Because her curiosity was still too high. Riko was afraid that if she left later, the black portal would disappear when she came back here. She didn't want to leave without knowing anything.'Why is this portal here? As I recall, there is nothing here,' Riko thought.As a snake demon who would often travel to the forest, Riko obviously knew and remembered that there was nothing but shady trees. This was the first time Riko had seen a black portal with a white light that sparkled to dazzle the eyes.The two of them wandered around, circling the portal. There had probably been about three times but they hadn't found anything that could serve as a clue to their curiosity."How many more tim
