All the king's horses
of that time
After our short trip, we returned to the palace.
현진
We're almost there now.
정인
Ugh... it's a bit far.
Finally, the palace began to come into view in the distance.
정인
uh...?
승민
Something is strange?
As I hurried to the palace, I realized why it looked strange.
현진
fire...!
The palace was on fire.
The entrance had already collapsed, leaving no way inside, and the fire was burning too fiercely to put out.
It was a sight where there was no hope of even putting out the fire.
승민
excuse me...
When Seungmin looked at the place his brother had pointed to, he saw a person standing on the collapsing roof of the palace.
정인
Who is it...?
The man was wearing a black mask, wearing a black cloak and carrying a sword.
정인
It's dangerous to be there...
창빈
Wouldn't it be correct to assume that that person started the fire?
정인
Is that so...?
While we were doing nothing but sucking our fingers, the person standing on the roof suddenly disappeared.
정인
Who is it?
창빈
I don't know...
As time passed and the building was completely burned, the fire naturally went out.
My mother and father died.
This could be known from the pieces of their clothing and ornaments found inside the palace.
The palace has completely disappeared.
The house I lived in my whole life disappeared.
은광
Prince, please stay at our house for now.
So I ended up staying at the Count's house with Changbin.
Only then did everything become real.
Ah, I have nowhere to go now.
I don't have a family anymore.
Changbin quietly watched over me as I sat there in such a vain manner.
창빈
My mother passed away when I was young too.
창빈
After days of begging to go out with my mom, it was finally the day we went on a picnic together.
창빈
On the way home, there was a carriage accident, and my mother took all the shock away by hugging me and saying she would save me.
창빈
When I came to, I was in my dead mother's arms.
창빈
At that time, I felt like my mother died because of me, so I cried a lot and my father had a hard time too.
창빈
however...
창빈
As time passes, everything gets better.
창빈
So don't hold it in and cry.
창빈
Cry loudly, miss and be in pain to your heart's content.
창빈
And shake it off.
창빈
Your mother would want that too.
When I heard those words, my frozen heart melted and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.
After shedding tears like that for a long time, my heart felt a little lighter.
정인
What do I do now...?
정인
My home... my family... everything is gone...
창빈
What should I do? I have to become a king.
정인
I rode the bow all the way, so how could I...
창빈
If there is no palace, does that mean there is no king?
창빈
You saw that guy earlier. This wasn't an accident, it was an incident.
창빈
It doesn't matter where the palace is, so quickly gather the remaining ministers and take the throne.
Those words brought me to my senses.
I don't have time to be sad like this.
