(This story continues from the Season 2 prologue.)
"Ren is the Prime Minister of the Southwestern Empire,
And besides, he attacked our empire,"
"Your Majesty, please calm down.
You must be very tired."
"That's right, Duke Aaron."
The man who had been talking to Baekho until just now
A. The head of the Duke's family, Aaron.
He was enlightened at the age of three
He rose to fame as a genius of the empire and became the head of the family.
As more and more people started looking for him,
I was traveling to the Southwestern Empire,
A month ago, Baekho was short-handed to handle his work.
I brought Aaron.
He is even very loyal
He follows Baekho very well.
"So, will you attack the Southwestern Empire first?"
"It's a long shot, but there's nothing I can do."
-
Meanwhile, the emperor also received a letter from Ren.
"What, what is this.."
The emperor's mind seemed to be going blank.
Minhyun doesn't have feelings for her
Even so, it's war.
War with the Southwestern Empire, a great power among great powers.
As Baekho said, there was no chance of winning.
"Inviting the emperor and prime minister of the Southwestern Empire
"Send a letter."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Let's meet up and talk first
It was an operation to avoid war.
-
"invitation?"
Meanwhile, Min-hyeon, who received the emperor's letter, was puzzled.
I asked Ren.
"The Emperor is really funny, whenever he takes his eyes off you
"You're inviting me now?"
"...don't curse him too much."
"I wonder if you still have feelings for me."
"No, no, I said no!"
Minhyun overreacted to a surprising degree.
Minhyun himself didn't know why he did that.
"Ahem, since you invited me, I guess I should go anyway?"
Minhyun asked, coughing awkwardly.
"Well... that's right, we don't want our reputation to get bad."
-
In the end, Minhyun and Ren headed to the Northeast Empire.
The emperor sitting on the throne, with those standing on either side of him
Baekho and Aaron came into view.
“I hope you have been well.”
Minhyun is not curious to anyone who looks at him
He asked in a way that made it seem like he was being pushy.
Actually, I was a little curious.
"Yes, Confucius is doing very well, Your Majesty the Emperor."
The word that hurts Min-Hyeon's heart the most, Confucius.
But Minhyun asked without showing his feelings.
"After seeing Confucius' face just once,
"Can I talk to you?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Your Majesty, me too."
"Your Majesty, just stay still."
Ren was worried that Minhyun might get involved in something ominous.
I tried to follow him, but I was alone with Confucius.
Minhyun, who wanted to meet her face to face, stopped her.
-
One step, two steps like that,
Every time I take a step toward Confucius's residence,
My heart ached.
Finally arriving, I carefully opened the door.
Isn't it Confucius who welcomes us with a bright smile?
"Your Majesty, I missed you so much.."
As soon as he heard that, Minhyun
I sat down on the spot and burst into tears.
I thought I had forgotten everything,
I thought you hated me,
I guess that wasn't it.
