(This story continues from Season 2 Episode 1.)
"Why, why are you crying-!"
Confucius was embarrassed and wrapped his small arms around Min-hyeon.
"I've missed you so much, Confucius..."
"me too."
The two of them hugged each other for a long time.
Minhyun, who had barely stopped crying, opened his mouth.
"Then, by any chance, your father's identity too,"
"Yes, I know."
"You must have been very surprised."
"Yes, but I can't help it-
Both His Majesty Emperor Abamama and Emperor Minhyeon
"You are precious to me! You are both wonderful."
Min-Hyeon couldn't help but be amazed at Confucius's speaking skills.
Baekho's brilliant mind and Minhyeon's warm heart
It seemed like it had both,
And that was actually the case.
"But, what brings you to our empire?"
"Your mother invited you.
But I don't think I'll be able to stay long."
At Min-hyeon's words, Confucius's expression quickly turned to regret.
"Yes.."
"Well then, I guess I should go now. See you later."
"Take a look."
Minhyun also expressed his regret
He returned to the emperor.
-
"War? That's ridiculous."
Leaving behind the warm moments with Confucius
What Min-Hyeon saw when he returned was a very sharp atmosphere.
"Why not, with Confucius?
Not only did they talk about His Majesty the Emperor of our Empire,
"You betrayed me, your old friend."
The old harmonious atmosphere between Baekho and Ren
There was no sign of it, and rather, the relationship between the two was not very good.
It looked like just an argument, but it was bloody.
The emperor was hesitating inside it.
Minhyun found it and blurted out a word.
"Everyone, stop talking. Let's talk calmly."
At Minhyun's one word, the two barely became quiet.
I sat down.
"Your Majesty, let me see you for a moment.
The two ministers there, please talk quietly.
If there's a fight, I won't let it go."
Min-hyeon took the emperor to a place where the two had walked together before.
Time has passed, but it is still beautiful
I headed towards the walking trail.
-
"Phew.."
Min-hyeon tried to hide his emotions before talking to the emperor.
After taking a couple of deep breaths, he continued.
"Do you remember this place?"
Min-Hyeon asked the emperor cautiously.
"yes.."
"At that time, I cherished Your Majesty.
Do you remember that too?"
"Yes,"
"And, I will make you like me more than Prime Minister Baekho,
Do you remember saying that?"
"yes.."
The emperor tried to understand the meaning of the continued questioning.
It wasn't easy to know Minhyun's mind.
"...It's all useless now. It's too late."
Minhyun said weakly.
"The war will go on, Your Majesty, for the sake of which I have received
"I couldn't bear the pain."
Then he brought up the topic of war, but the emperor's expression was
Seeing it getting dark, I quickly changed the subject.
"Are you happy with the Prime Minister?"
"Yes. I'm happy."
It was the answer I expected, but hearing it made my heart ache twice as much.
"I see,"
"Sometimes, I miss your kindness."
When unexpected words came out of the emperor's mouth,
Minhyun couldn't hide his surprise.
"Emperor Minhyeon, no, Crown Prince.
Didn't you want to see me?
In a gentle, soft voice like before
Min-Hyeon heard the Emperor call him Crown Prince.
I had no choice but to answer like this.
"I missed you, and a lot of that too."
As soon as Min-Hyeon finished speaking, he hugged the emperor.
