All the king's horses

I knock the ice from my bones

When I was born, I was a prince of a country.

A warm room, a soft bed.

A life where everything you need is at your fingertips, without you even having to ask.

It was a life that many people would envy.

์ •์ธ

Huh? Mom!!

I found my mother and ran to her, and she embraced me warmly.

์™•๋น„

What did our lover do today?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Today I played tag, had a snack, took a nap, um...

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Um... what did I do...

์€๊ด‘ image

์€๊ด‘

You took the test, right?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

teacher!

The teacher, as a count, knew a lot about politics and the flow of the market, and he taught me about them.

The teacher was originally a central government official.

But after he no longer had any interest in politics, he turned to being an educator.

He became a teacher who was highly anticipated and invited as a lecturer at many schools.

์€๊ด‘ image

์€๊ด‘

Prince, did you get a perfect score on your test today?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Oh, that's right! I got a perfect score on the test today!

์™•๋น„

Really? Good job.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Teacher, where is Changbin?

Changbin was the son of a count and my best friend of the same age.

No, actually, he was my only friend.

์€๊ด‘ image

์€๊ด‘

Changbin went to take the school entrance exam today.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Then can I hang out with Changbin tomorrow?

์€๊ด‘ image

์€๊ด‘

Sure. I'll bring it tomorrow.

์™•๋น„

Do you like Changbin that much?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Yes! I like Changbin.

์€๊ด‘ image

์€๊ด‘

I am honored that you love my son so much.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

But I don't go to school?

์™•๋น„

Yes. Jeong-in has to learn differently from other children, so she doesn't go to school and instead learns from teachers.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Um... yes.

์™•๋น„

Our lover is now going to go and play some more.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

yes

Was that the happiest time when I didn't know anything?

Everything seemed perfect.

I was eight years old when I first realized that I was eighteen.

I became an adult and was appointed as the official successor.

He learned from his father, who was a king, and received proper education to succeed to the throne.

์ฐฝ๋นˆ image

์ฐฝ๋นˆ

Hey! What are you doing?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

homework...

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Do the homework your father gave you.

Even though 10 years have passed, the teacher is still my teacher.

As I became the successor, there were many people my age besides Changbin by my side.

Originally, I had my own bodyguard, which was tied to the royal escort, and I also had my own specialists and teachers for each subject.

My escort knight, Seungmin hyung.

์Šน๋ฏผ image

์Šน๋ฏผ

Prince, it's almost time for the teacher to come.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Oh no... This is a big problem.

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

It's shift change time!

And my other escort knight is Hyunjin.

The two of them took turns escorting me.

์Šน๋ฏผ image

์Šน๋ฏผ

Is it shift change already?

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Hey, get out quickly.

์Šน๋ฏผ image

์Šน๋ฏผ

This is too much, really.

After a while, I called Hyunjin hyung aside.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

By any chance, do you and Seungmin need a separate vacation?

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Are you on vacation?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Yeah. You couldn't get a proper rest or see your family because you had to take turns escorting me every day.

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Hey, it's okay. Seungmin and I don't have any family to meet and we don't have a home.

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Then, do you want to go on a trip with your friends?

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Have a nice trip.

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Um...then would you like to go with me, Prince?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

Me? Okay, it's uncomfortable.

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

It is uncomfortable. Where can you find a boss as comfortable as a prince?

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Among royalty, or rather nobles, the only person who cares about the people below them and treats them comfortably is a prince.

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

So let's go together.

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

If you don't like it, then don't...

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

No... I'm not saying I don't like it...

ํ˜„์ง„ image

ํ˜„์ง„

Then let's go together!

From that day on, Seungmin hyung, Hyunjin hyung, and Changbin all got together to decide on a travel destination and schedule.

So the plan was made and I headed to my father's office to tell him about my travel plans.

์™•

Who knew that kid would be hiding in a place like that...

์™•

Are you sure you took care of it?

"Yes. They say the castle itself was turned into ashes."

์™•

What about Yeongji?

"I destroyed them all."

์™•

Are you sure that kid is dead?

"Yes. The person who saw him in person as an envoy a while ago said that he dealt with it himself."

์™•

He is my son... but how dare you betray your father?

์ •์ธ image

์ •์ธ

'son...?'
