Egret

It was around that time that Baek Ho and the Blue Dragon arrived at the bookstore, getting beaten up. Someone stepped over them with a quick step and swiftly entered the scribe first.

"Meang? That Ain.....

I met him for the first time, but I was able to recognize him immediately. because he was a child who had received royal blood in the Thaw family.

“Oh, son of Seo-yun. ”

"It looks a lot like Seo-yun. Ugh, you don't have to be a fan of friendship.

Now only twelve years old, he was the only prince to be loved and raised in a large palace. The recent lack of royal friendship is no longer surprising, but Baek Ho grumbled lightly instead of despairing.

But what are you so happy about?

Gaya's expression was like a fun sightseeing spot in a bored car.

“Well, what do you expect the little prince to do? ”

"You're not worried, you're expecting? Anyway, you son of a bitch.

“Shut up. We'll be quiet...... No, let's keep an eye out. ”

Gaya sneaks up behind Izio with her arms held by Beak Ho and Fluby.

His master could not be pushed by such a child, but if it was thought to be harmful, he would immediately intervene and block it.

The young prince, who did not even know how to see the three pairs of eyes, entered the bookstore, nervous in his own way. The goal was immediately noticeable.

‘Silver……. ’

The prince was awkward for a moment and fixed his gaze on his hair. It was a mysterious color that I couldn't believe was between myself and my cousin.

The young prince of the thaw saw Judas and felt jealous at the same time of his heterogeneity.

Oh, my God! You're a total stranger. '

Although the fact that all foursome were being attacked by the commander was kept confidential, word spread quickly that the contractor of the Blue Dragon appeared.

The prince heard directly from his father, Iseuyun, that Judas had signed a contract with the Blue Dragon.

As soon as I heard about him, I came running to the scribe, impatient with curiosity.

In the middle of a quiet and awkward bookshelf, the power filled the fist of the prince who found a boy who was revealing his presence with a toxic, heterogeneous appearance.

‘No, you didn't come here to fight. Let's be polite and say hello. As royalty in my country, I must also show solidarity. ’

“Th..... ”

The moment I made up my mind to tremble, another voice came into my mouth.

“Brother, how do you read this? ”

Unfortunately, as a prince, the opponent was not alone.

Judas was studying the overall history and culture of thawing through his book during rainy hours until Seo-yun's decision was made. And next to him was Sage, his half-brother.

"Brother?"

The hair was different, but the fact that the two were related was easy to recognize with the eyes of a twelve-year-old. One more person appeared, hesitating for a moment.

“That would be difficult, wouldn't it? Besides, it's a book that reads vertically. ”

“What?”

Sage and Ran have been very close. Sage, who did not know the language of thawing, was using an artifact with an interpreter enchantment until she communicated, but was forced to read the letters.

It was Pixie Ran who was nicer than her brother Judas who brought her that sage.

“Thanks for letting me know. ”

“That's about it. Judas is busy with his own business. If you have any more questions, ask me. ”

Inspired by her kindness, Sage didn't even care about the ugliness of the day. Judas treated her so unfairly that he was also affected.

They grew up without Sage or Ran or any proper friends. Although Lan was much older, he had Pixie's distinctive purity, which made him look like his age.

The two developed into close friends by teaching and learning the rhythms of Scripture.

With those children by his side, Judas smiled quietly like an old man looking at his grandchildren's reproach with his eyes fixed on the book.

“Self, then. ”

He lightly covered the book and put it in its original place.

“I'm going to go now. ”

Sage and Ran began to organize all the books that had been dizzily taken out along Judas.

“Has the nobleman there come to see the book? ”

“…… Ah, no! ”

The prince panicked and groaned.

Since when did you know that the golden pupil was facing forward?

There was no surprises or suspicions in it. The prince knew that the opponent had noticed everything about him.

“No…… ”

“If you have something to say, why don't you walk outside and share it? The weather is really nice. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

The will to show the royal majesty has long since flown. The prince put up with wanting to make a tear close by.

As soon as I left the bookstore, a stinging sun poured out. The weather was really nice, as Judas said.

The prince introduced himself with a formal ceremony one step late.

“This is Izeo, descendant of the Yi Yi royal family. I came to say hello when I heard that you had just stepped in. If you'll excuse me. ”

“No. Nice to meet you. Judas E., after Lubarzan's second name. This is Lubarzan Archidion.”

The first name of the empire Lubarzan means Emperor. And the second name was the Crown Prince's.

As long as Prince Izzieo of Thawing kept his example and greeted him, Judas also treated him according to the law.

It was different from Lee Seo-yun, who treated his uncle as his nephew in private.

Judas then noticed that Izzieo had initially come to him with a favour, but that he felt distant from himself.

‘Thawing is a nation of one people, unlike the Empire. It's going to be hard. ’

The unfamiliar attitude that Izzieo now saw was an extremely common response as a defroster.

In fact, there is no corner where he would feel the same way about Judas.

Judas was not even an eastern yellow skin, and neither his head nor eyes were of the same color as humans.

His name was also imperial, and he was extraordinarily extraordinary as an heir to the throne, not just a prince. Everything has to be difficult between cousins who have never seen it before.

It was unusual for King Lee Seo-yun to show generous affection just because he was Dorian's sister's child.

Judas understands Easyo's position and quietly waits for his next words.

Noticing that he had handed over the initiative of the conversation to himself, Gio opened his mouth with an astonishing look.

“What brings the Imperial Prince to this country? ”

“I was invited by His Majesty five years ago. ”

“Invited……. ”

Though I didn't know it, I thought it would be worth remembering my father, Seo-yun, who was always fond of the dead Princess Ha-yun. But I didn't like the spirit.

"Why did Avama invite him to my country? Why didn't you just steal the Blue Dragon from the Empire? ’

Izzie thought she took the blue dragon. It looked worse than once and nothing seemed graceful.

“Brother.”

At the same time, Sage, who had organized all the books with Ran, panicked as he saw Izzie burning up the competition.

‘Competition?’

On the outside, it was a similar position as the Crown Prince and Prince of one country as the successors of another. In fact, however, they were not at all similar.

In Sage's view, comparing the two was already rude to Judas. It's like comparing one puppy to a skilled bum who's been through prenatal labor.

“This is my brother Sage, and my fairy Lan. ”

Judas organized the book and introduced the two people back to Gio. Sage hides her crazy feelings and sends her greetings.

“This is Prince Lubarzan Sage. ”

“It's Lan.”

Seeing Ran greeting with a clear smile, Geo stiffens his face. It wasn't just because she used a shorthand.

“I heard fairies are beautiful as maidens. ”

“Lanie is a really pretty kid. Of course, it's not a familiar species in the thaw. ”

Judas is obsessed with Gio's whimpering or not.

When Geo saw it, the lane of day was literally the worst thing a man could imagine.

I'd rather be a monster or beast who looks unusual openly, but the skin or certain parts of it are grossly disgusting in human form.

The disgust she feels when she sees her skin peeled and blood flowing or when she sees a bone broken in a bizarre direction is melting into her appearance.

It was like seeing a ghost with human skin turned upside down.

Izzie stares at Sage with her creepy forearm tucked away in her long sleeve.

“Moreover, to the 3rd Prince of the Lubarzan Empire. You're an unusual member.”

“Is that so?”

Judas nods, as if he were talking about a distant country.

Gio, who was choked by his appetite, stares straight at him. As a child, Giovanni could not understand Judas, who was accompanied by the enemy's son, who killed his mother by a yoke-looking girl.

So I asked myself a polite question without my knowledge.

“And I say, Can you trust each other? ”

“Yes.”

It was instantaneous. It was very resolute, unlike what had been laid bare so far.

“Why?”

“I'll ask you the same thing. How do you see trust to be gained? ”

Izzie couldn't answer the sudden question. It was simple, but I didn't think of an answer like this.

Gio shuts his mouth, and Judas asks again.

“So who do you mainly trust? ”

“To have faith, you need to know your opponent perfectly. So I don't trust anyone. ”

This time I was able to answer. EZIO, of course, expressed my opinion.

“I don't know about ten paths in the water, but I don't know about one path in the mind," he says. "It's a matter of constant observation and determination for a long time. ”

“How long is it exactly? ”

“At least we'll have to watch. ”

Judas shakes his head with a gentle smile.

“You don't know how to earn the Prince's trust, you only learn how to assess people. ”

Izzieo's face hardened.

“I am the royal family of this country. Who dares doubt me, the prince of the Thaw? ”

“The higher you are, the more suspicious you are. What others see in His Majesty is loyalty, not trust. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“Even if I knew for a lifetime. ”

“ ……? ”

“As far as I know, I can see my heart now by looking at my face, and I know even the petty habits that I see when I lie. ”

I didn't even know that the children I loved like family were not happy at all.

What he kept was not a man, but a rule of his own. He kept the rule that he would not intervene in the lives of others, but left the precious behind in his wounds.

“Trust is usually bilateral, but it can never be absolute because it actually flows in one direction. It's impossible to know someone completely. ”

As a child grows up and grows up, man betrays man. Frid once said it was natural.

Judas agrees with that remark.

“Does that mean no one believes you? ”

“No.”

But that was a different matter than mistrust.

“In any case, give up arrogance that you will fully know about your opponent. It's ignorance, not trust. If you want to trust someone. ”

There is no relationship that is always peaceful and full of love. Life always has a flexion.

“Trust that anyone can hurt you first. ”

That we can hurt each other.

Judas recalls when he was sworn to the back by his loved ones.

If I had known this first, all things would not have gone so far.
