Limitless Dream

Scarlen's life is perfect.

A strong historian born of a historic family line, he also had the beauty of receiving the love of the continent in one body. On his journey, he met a wonderful and powerful knight and fell in love with destiny, who was King Arthur, the only monarch on the continent.

They held hands and returned to the Kingdom and were blessed on the continent and ruled the world with kindness and fairness.

Even though I didn't have a child yet, it wasn't that important to think about young age.

Family, destiny, husband, power, beauty, happiness, honor, love.

Scarlen's life with everything was as bright and snowy as the summer sun.

“Your Majesty, the king has returned. Reports just came in from the perimeter guard. He says he's on his way to Uranus. ”

“Was that really the case? ”

Scarlen, who was practicing her sword alone at the royal training ground, was delighted to run like a maid.

It's been a month since the king left the city. It was a trip to find a dragon.

Including when she first met herself, it was already her sixth trip. Until the last time, he also went on a trip together, but this time he was forced to stay because of the earnest eavesdropping of the officials that it was not good to leave the royal palace for too long.

For less than a month, Scarlen longed for the king's job every day. I haven't been away this long since I got married, or since I first met you.

“But you're back so soon. Maybe you found a clue about the dragon? ”

“Be glad, my queen. The king has finally acquired the dragon. ”

“Is that true? ”

Scarlen is just as pleased with her work as she is with yours.

No, couples are one-sided, so you have to say it's their job.

I was so happy that my beloved pet had finally fulfilled one of his life's aspirations and was once again glad that I no longer had to travel to get a dragon.

Scarlen jumps out of the pool, washing her sweaty body and dressing herself in a new one. I had no time to put on makeup. I wanted to meet him as soon as possible.

As I stepped out the gate of the city, I could see that countless people were gathering. After Scarlen appeared, the people praised Renozian by calling out his name.

With the sound of the world dying, Scarlen sees something big fly away.

The shape of the aircraft grew larger. It was a huge dragon that glowed in golden light.

In the dragon's head, Arthur, the man she loved, stood tall and proud. On the dragon's side and on the other, the death squad flew together like a dragon escort.

In comparison, the superdragon was very large. The dragon with the proximity division, the large body, felt so incredibly small.

When the dragon slowly scatters over the square and stops completely in the air, its giant wings flare and compress the people as if they were crushed by the wind. Nevertheless, the people rejoiced and cheered.

At a height of more than a hundred meters, the king landed lightly on the ground.

Scarlen reaches out to the king with a bright smile. The king grabs her hand with a kind smile.

“I got the dragon. ”

“Congratulations, Leon. You've finally accomplished your goal. ”

“No, we've only taken one step apart. Caglian will not stop until we get his trust back. ”

The king and queen graciously hold hands, looking up at the fluttering dragon in the sky. The bigger the sun was, the more mysterious and majestic it became.

“It's really cool. ”

“You know what? It's the same superdragon we missed when we first met. ”

“Is that true? How can such a coincidence... …. ”

“You know what's even more amazing? I heard he's still growing up. ”

Scarlin is surprised with his eyes wide open.

“So, you mean bigger diagnosis over there? ”

“According to ancient records, the biggest dragon was the size of its body that surpassed the metropolitan area. ”

Scarlen looks up at the portrait of the dragon, unable to resist admiration.

I mean, it's amazing how many hundred meters you can fit in there right now, and you're growing more? In the past, there were far larger individuals than that?

“Oh, right. Did you name it?”

“Of course not. ”

“Yes?”

Scarlen tilts her head in curiosity, given the king's natural expression. The king grins and squeezes her hands together.

“It is the queen's unique power and tradition to name a dragon in the House of Renault. Of course you have to give me a name. ”

- Chiiing.

A slight tremor touched her brain. She hardens for a moment after a short blow to her head.

"Wait?"

She talks a lot in ‘reality’ about Han Seo-jin and ‘dreams’. So we realize that there are years or more of time differences in each other's dreams.

She repeatedly listens to King Arthur's memory, which she looked at many times.

Yes, I'm sure...

‘Naming a dragon... is the queen's unique power?' Tradition?

The story that Han Seo-jin told was completely different from that. I heard the name of the dragon is the king himself.

When in chaos, the king urges you.

“Please give me a name. ”

“Uh, well. That……. ”

Scarlen stutters, embarrassed. I couldn't catch the ribs, what was going on, what was going on, what was going on.

Suddenly, everything was calm. The king, along with hundreds of ministers and countless people who had gathered for a certain distance, looked only at his face.

She doesn't overcome the burden, and reflects on it.

“Taron, I would say Taron. ”

“Taron?”

At that moment, the king was shocked and flawed. Not only that, even the Royal Headmaster and his father, who were standing politely near him, were embarrassed and raised their faces.

They murmured amongst themselves as if they didn't know the reason. Only the king and his father were surprised by the name Taron.

The king asked with a trembling voice.

“How do you know that name...? ”

“Yes? Well, I just built it. What's the matter, Leon? ”

Scarlen is a little overwhelmed.

I don't understand why he would react that way to the name Taron.

“Just... as I recall. ”

The king's mind is troubled as if he's contemplating something.

My father regained his relaxation and bowed his head politely with a smile.

“What an unbelievable coincidence that the Queen's name was given inadvertently. I think it's fate, Your Majesty. ”

“Destiny…… I guess. Is this fate?”

“Leon... what's wrong with you? What's so special about the name Taron? ”

The king smiles lightly and claps his shoulders.

“The Taron is a name you will never know, forgotten long ago. That's why I was surprised. ”

“What's your name? ”

“When Caglian was taken from us, there was a man who fought without giving up until the end. He may not be the best warrior in the family, but he died fighting bravely until the end. His name is Taron. ”

“ ……. ”

“Very few people know it now, but it's an ancient legend long forgotten. What a wonderful coincidence. I was surprised to find myself and my father-in-law by the name you coincidentally gave me. ”

My father smiled and helped.

“This must be fate. Perhaps it's not fated to be brave like the great knight Taron. Your Majesty, please give the dragon a name. ”

The king looks up at the dragon with a proud look on his face. And I declared it glorious.

“My everlasting comrade, your name will now be Taron. ”

Will he be happy to receive his name? The dragon flaps its giant wings and stirs up a violent wind.

Scarlen glances at the majestic figure like a movie, and mutters silently inside.

‘Taron...... I just told Seojin what I heard. ’

* * *

- Congratulations on taking the dragon, Your Majesty.

The king nods and passes by the old man.

A man stands silently on his own on the outskirts of an army with many knights and soldiers. Red hair, but an invisible face.

It has a mysterious feeling that does not seem to exist in this world. Only the face of the woman is invisible, as if the range of perception is closed.

- You got the dragon. What are you going to name it?

- Taron, Taron.

- That's a great name, Your Majesty.

A woman who can't see her face, but is very beautiful.

The moment the king pulls her face into his arms, the woman suddenly whispers. The voice alone sounded alien.

― Why did you come back here?

The king did not recognize the words. because it wasn't "king," it was "self."

- My king. Everything here is a dream and a lie, and that's the only truth.

The king did not hear the woman whisper.

The woman said again.

- Even if everyone deceives you, don't forget it.

I've already had this dream over and over again.

This is a scene I've been through several times.

So, Seojin could also predict the scenes that followed.

‘It's over. ’

Soon, as curtains will come down on the stage when the veil is over, so will the veil cover all sides. All sound will be distant, the landscape darkened, and he will be pushed out of the world of dreams.

And when you wake up, you'll realize it's your bedroom, or you'll be asleep in the lab.

‘…… huh? ’

But today was different.

It was a little different from the previous dreams that had been repeated several times. Even though the woman who thought she was a queen whispered meaningful words, the world of dreams was not yet closed.

Like pressing the pause button, everything in the world stopped.

At that moment, when the flow of time was frozen, only the woman was releasing her presence freely from her confinement.

The woman slowly raised her face, looking straight at 'this side’. The woman's eyes were not looking at the king, but at Seojin's retina clearly.

“My king. ”

The woman said.

The voice was completely different from the one that was part of the dream. It was as lively as real reality.

“I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. ”

The king, or 'Han Seo-jin’, desperately moved his arms. You force yourself to move your body, as if it were not your own, and you encounter a strong repulsive force that seems to resist its control.

The pain came as if my whole body was torn apart. I still gripped and endured it, and touched the woman's face.

“I shouldn't have listened to the last word. ”

I patted along the cheeks of the woman, and tears flowed.

Han Seo-jin kept her cheeks closed, silent.

“I resent it. Why didn't you leave me in your world? ”

Except for the woman, the landscape began to blur.

Her voice fades away. At the same time, I can see her face clearly.

- Is it still beautiful?

She wasn't a queen.
