“Thank you.”

Seo-yun expressed his sincere gratitude to his nephew.

He organized Judas's outfit instead of his clumsy, stubborn, big hands.

“In fact, I was very hesitant to meet you. ”

Until now, my voice has trembled with worry and anxiety.

Seo-yun knew all the secrets of the dark Lubarzan Imperial Palace that had to be experienced because of his brother's death.

“I know what to say first. I don't know if you resent me, this country. ”

Seo-yun's eyes were bitten with bitter emotions like tea water.

“I was worried and scared of so much. ”

Like hardened flesh in the palm of your hand, there are flesh that squeezes and hardens the defendant's abscess.

It was the inner stiffness that Judas had.

Seo-yun smiled with hardened and tired eyes, but he smiled generously. Then he asked Judas, who only listened to him quietly.

“Have you been disappointed because you are a coward that doesn't match what your uncle looks like? ”

“I don't think so. ”

Judas shakes his head slowly to reassure the opponent.

“Everyone is a coward. If you hadn't been so scared, I would have been the only coward here. Rather, I am grateful. ”

“You look a lot like your mother. ”

“…… Is that so? ”

I thought I would never hear as much as I did in the thaw. It's even worse in Seo-yun's mouth, Ha-yun's brother.

‘I didn't think it resembled it at all. ’

I thought of my mother's face in memory, but nothing resembled her.

Judas inherited all the appearance features from his father, even though he did not have mixed blood, but was able to withstand the pure blood of Lubarzan Yellow. There was no trace of a surprising Manchi maternal.

Seo-yun posited in a strong tone, asking him awkwardly.

“Very much, very much alike. ”

“What do they look like? ”

Even though I only met her after I had grown up, her nephew who asked about her mother was still like a child.

Seo-yun was deeply moved with sadness. My sister's son was much cuter than I vaguely imagined.

Seventeen was this small and adorable age. Seo-yun didn't have much in mind.

“In this country, the face is called a bend of the ice, and the eye is the spear of the heart. I still don't know when you're your age. ”

“That's a really good expression. ”

It was strange not to know the age of the body, but the years in which he actually lived.

However, Seo-yun stared at Judas with a peculiar glance.

“Your face, especially your eyes, looks exactly like Ha-young's. It's like talking to him. ”

I felt strange when someone else discovered something in common with my unknown mother.

Judas remained silent without finding anything to say for a while.

From the color of the skin to the hair, the color of the eyes was all different, but after hearing it, I thought that the face shape might be a little similar.

“Oh, right. I don't know if you like sweets. ”

Seo-yun loosened the whole scroll like a cloak and robbed it.

Then, as if enchanted, the medicine and wheat and beetle were constantly appearing.

Then Judas, who was staring at the sheep he was doing, gave it all to Judas.

“This is the end.”

“I don't know what I'm going to like. I brought all the sweet and delicious sweets. I want to taste it with my friends. ”

Seo-yun glanced back at Edan, Cristina and Baikal.

In a short period of time, the fast-paced loners noticed that they had grown up in a barricade rather than a mere military relationship.

Though they could not enter sweet sweets without children, everyone smiled because they imagined Seo-yun picking sweets deeply, thinking about the nephew they first met.

When I was in such a smoky atmosphere, I heard a scream from somewhere.

“Arghhhhhhhh!”

“Ugh. Oh, my God. ”

Seo-yun frowned. Then I brushed a mess of crumpled scrolls through the hall and pretended to be on my shoulders.

“I have to go now because I can't leave my seat for long. ”

“Take a look. ”

Seeing that the servants were looking for Han like that, he seemed to be quite the king as usual.

Judas smiles in Cook's arms with tons of sweets that he holds. Seo-yun stopped to take a step when he saw it as he was leaving.

‘... Ha-young. ’

I can't even close my eyes to see if the shape of the smile that kills the sound resembles that of a dead sister. Seo-yun couldn't overcome the howling yearning and covered his face with his hands.

“What do you think? ”

“I'm so sorry for you. ”

“You didn't want to be alone. ”

As Judas said, Seo-yun refused to offer his sister as tribute to another country until the end.

Upset by Seo-yun on his knees, who resisted harshly and refused to face his royal duties and responsibilities, Seo-yun ordered that he be kept in a room. Then he sent Hayun away without further ado.

Once in the Emperor's hands, there is no way to reclaim the tribute. Because of this, the country has escaped annihilation and has barely entered its stabilization phase.

There is nothing Seo-yun wanted to do about her death. However, he felt even more guilty that he had done nothing.

“No, I thought maybe I could protect you instead of me. If you're with the sun, at least you can save that little girl's life. ”

Perhaps it would have been unnecessary to send Hayun away if he had mobilized all means at his disposal, not to protest.

Seo-yun regretted it and regretted it again. He was no different from his father, who was also king, but he compromised with reality and gave up his responsibilities.

“No matter how many times I sent one to the Emperor. ”

At the highest point, you put countless things under your feet.

“The Sunbae King, and also the Emperor of Lubarzan. I may have guarded each country, but I couldn't protect the one person I was close to. ”

Judas realized that he heard Seo-yun's regrets. Loneliness was telling the same story that people were telling themselves right now.

It was so painful that Judas loosened his fist without a pulse.

What a powerful person should do.

‘Eventually what I should have done. ’

It was to protect those who were closest to him.

Hot sighs came out. What I understood with my head and what I desperately understood with my heart was completely different in weight.

“Because you're here, Your Majesty! ”

Then someone popped up on the roof of the anterior chamber. In contrast to Seo-yun in a white outfit, he fluttered with a dark brown applicator and plunged like an orchid in the air.

“Phew. No matter how deep inside the palace, it's dangerous if you go alone. Nail me in the ear...! ”

The one who approached him with his teeth was the king's direct escort. Apparently, he was not equipped with weapons, but he was strong enough that no one had ever threatened the king's identity.

The problem was the same personal behavior as now rather than the enemy's darkness. I did not see the impulsive deviation of King Seo-yun for a day or two, but the expression of the escort was not very polite.

As always, the escort, who was about to stretch out his sunrise speech, found Judas standing beside Seo-yun and kept his mouth shut.

‘Is that Princess Ha-yun's daughter? ’

Rumor has it that horses without feet go to heaven, and the rumors were swift.

I didn't come to announce it separately or by surprise, but there was already talk of Prince Lubarzan's visit throughout the capital.

Not to mention inside the palace. The escort bowed and greeted the King deeply, thinking it was worth it, instead of brushing the King's naivety this time.

“Welcome to Her Majesty the Prince of Lubarzan. The sword that carries the Holy King is called Jung Daul. ”

When introducing the name, Lubarzan would say 'Daul Chung’, but in thawing, he followed the language rules of thawing.

Judas understood this and nodded softly and greeted him.

“Nice to meet you, Judas. ”

For the first time, it was a meeting between the king and his uncle and nephew, not the prince.

A courteous greeting from the successor of the Imperial Monarch illuminated Daoul's eyes, who understood the situation.

‘It's a big bowl. ’

No matter how brilliant he was, he was still too old to put away his blood and emotions.

He seemed willing to adapt himself to the situation with a relaxed personality. He never leaves his inner self in pride or vanity.

After a long time as a king's escort, Van Daul recognized Judas' monarchy, whose vigilance and analysis of the people he met were at a glance.

“Kmm. Hmm. ”

Seo-yun coughs at the escort, who closes his mouth like a clam, pressed against the soft pressure.

Thanks to this, Daul, who had escaped from the memorial, had a tireless eye for Seo-yun. When I met an unexpected guest, the murmur that sank as far as I could was lifted back to the end of my neck.

“I was about to go back. ”

“ ……. ”

“Hmm. Really. ”

“ ……. ”

Seeing Su-yun staring at you with disbelief's eyes, Seo-yun burst into laughter alone.

On the other hand, the escort Jung Daul was silent with a sand-checked face because he could not imagine in front of a precious guest.

And the three Lubarzan escorts, who felt a strange curiosity in both of them, were also anxious.

"You look alike."

‘….. You look just like me. ’

‘Well, you look a lot like this. ’

Usually it's gentle, but if you plug it into something, it's a nasty vault.

At one point, it was an uncle's nephew who resembled him without honor.

Cristina, Edan, and Baikal look at Dowl with sympathetic young eyes in the mood to see their future somehow.

“Now I don't see it. You come to me as you wish and interrupt my time playing with my friends. ”

“No, it was good to see you first. ”

“Yes, I will say hello again tomorrow. See you then, Judas. ”

The two have not formally met yet.

Politics in public is like a play. I pretend I don't already know, and I greet new people like I've seen before to promote relations between the two countries.

At this time, we must watch out for words so that there is no reproach in each country.

Seo-yun returned to a more comfortable face than when he first ran like a madman.

Judas, who was staring at the distant back of the Thaw King, sighed with a long sigh.

“My lodging. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“You're a good man. ”

It must have been a good brother to Hayun.

His affection for his sister led him to fall in love and spread to his nephew.

I was anxious if I wanted to bring any delicious confectionery and grumbled about my loneliness.

But Judas was heartbroken by that unconditional affection. He remembered the grief of the young self who could not protect his mother.

‘I was wrong.'

The child constantly begged for forgiveness.

He knew that his existence threw his mother into danger and eventually led to her death.

I'd rather have him disappear, and then my mother would come back. I eagerly wished until the moment I breathed a wish that could never be fulfilled.

The dramatic return of the memory of his former life at the crossroads of life resulted in a more mature ego called 'Igrette’ taking charge of everything, and he was freed from some of the guilt he felt as a child.

But since Igrett and Judas were the same person from the beginning, I couldn't shake all the guilt of my mother.
