"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 clouds began to darken. Soon the night would come. The two of them were still at home on top of the empty building without any lighting. Elizabeth's vision was fading. King Morwen's face was not very visible. Fortunately, Elizabeth could still see how clear the eyes of the man standing in front of her were.Dizziness struck Elizabeth. Crying turned out to be labor intensive. The muscles around her temples felt tense. Elizabeth didn't realize how long she had been crying. After remembering, it turned out that she had been shedding tears non-stop for almost a day. Her feelings were all mixed up. Her chest was raging, Elizabeth felt that her face was already hot because of how long she had been sobbing.King Morwen remembered that his father, who was still the King of the people of Pyloruf at that time, was a little late in announcing his marriage. So it was only natural that Elizabeth would hear about it too late."At that time I was just a lowly soldier. I was a child of an ordinar
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
King Morwen was stunned to hear everything Elizabeth had to say about the woman's condition. He could not believe that Elizabeth had to bear all the heavy burdens that she had endured for thousands of years.The man's feelings turned into confusion. As a Prince, King Morwen felt useless to Elizabeth who used to be his soldier. Power did not allow him to do what he wanted."I never knew you had to go through all that alone." King Morwen held back his tears from spilling out in front of Elizabeth.Truly, King Morwen was very sorry. He became Elizabeth's close friend but knew nothing about her. Even her suffering, King Morwen knew nothing about.Elizabeth had to struggle alone, carrying the heavy burden that King Draco had placed on her. About the forced marriage and the pressure on her parents and on her. Not to mention the explosive that King Draco planted in Elizabeth's body if she betrayed him.It was unexpected. King Morwen had been wrong all along. It was not Elizabeth who betrayed
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
Looking at King Morwen who had been mostly silent like a mute statue, Elizabeth smiled wryly. Her heart was deeply wounded because of the same man. Not then, not now, Elizabeth was still hurt because of King Morwen."I guess I was right, you'll never save me," Elizabeth said with a discordant laugh."What can I count on from you? Fortunately, I didn't have the confidence to ask you for help back then. I also feel lucky that I didn't expect too much from you." Elizabeth rolled her eyes lazily.Elizabeth let out a long breath. She stretched her body which felt stiff. She had been standing in that position for too long. Finally Elizabeth moved and stretched her body to prevent cramps. Now Elizabeth's gaze refocused on King Morwen.The mother of one looked at King Morwen with minimal lighting. Suddenly the moon was above her. Making Elizabeth and King Morwen able to see each other clearly."So, it was all in vain wasn't it? Even if I look for you and ask for your help, I will still be des
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
A feeling of pity filled Riko's heart. She could not bear to see Elizabeth crying for Edward but was ignored. If it wasn't for Elizabeth and King Morwen, Riko wouldn't have wanted to follow where Edward went either."Where did the boy go?" Riko cast her eyes around but did not see Edward's whereabouts."I have to change," she muttered softly.Riko looked for a quiet place nearby so that no one would see her when she turned into a snake. Once, someone accidentally saw her transform into a snake. The person immediately fainted and became hysterical. Riko was scared and would never do it again in any place.After turning into a snake, Riko went back to look for Edward. With her snake eyes, Riko looked at everyone who passed around her. Edward was nowhere to be found."I need to sniff his scent so I can find his whereabouts faster." Riko muttered under her breath.So far, Riko had not managed to find any trace of Edward's body scent. She knew the scent of the man who had attacked her so w
