[BL] The Child Who Gives Birth to a Jewel
23.
A few days after the incident
Jeonghan still can't get out of bed
Around the bed, pearls and ruby diamonds were scattered.
Jeonghan was crying, shaking and scratching his body.
The nails wound the skin and the blood flows out and becomes pearls.
Even after treatment, the wound is reopened
민혁(엄마)
Honey, please don't do this... Your pretty skin will be covered in scars.
정한
I've been caught... What should I do? What if I get dragged away again and get hurt and beaten like before?
민혁(엄마)
That would never happen. My family is a dukedom, a family that even the king can't control. Your uncle is the heir. My grandfather also treasures you, so no one can take you away.
정한
Really?
민혁(엄마)
then
민혁(엄마)
The bitch who hurt you has already been executed.
민혁(엄마)
There's no one who's going to hurt you
정한
Oh... Mom...
Jeonghan wakes up from bed after a few days and cries while hugging Minhyuk.
민혁(엄마)
Let's clean up the room and start with treatment.
정한
yes
호시
Jeonghan, can I come in?
I hear Hoshi's voice outside the door
민혁(엄마)
I've been worrying about you for days, not even eating, just sitting in front of your door.
정한
Really? Come in.
호시
Jeonghan... I'm sorry... I should have protected you.
정한
No... you saved me
호시
I was worried about you, so I decided to hire the most skilled and well-tempered knight among our family knights to be your bodyguard.
정한
Escort knight?
호시
Yeah..I'll always be by your side
정한
huh..
호시
Can I ask you to come in?
정한
huh
민혁(엄마)
Let's meet after I get treated and organize my clothes.
정한
ah..!!
Jeonghan looks at his own clothes
He was stained with blood and tears here and there, and there were even bruises and cuts from nervous self-mutilation. His face was swollen and puffy, and his hair was a mess from not washing for days.
정한
I...will wash up and change my clothes.../////
정한
It's our first time meeting... I'm embarrassed
호시
Okay? See you tomorrow then.
정한
huh
호시
Then I'll come after breakfast tomorrow.
정한
huh
Hoshi is leaving
민혁(엄마)
The other hyungs were also very worried.. Myungho is rushing to the top right now and Seungcheol went to the Duke's house to ask for their cooperation.
민혁(엄마)
I will protect you
정한
/////
민혁(엄마)
Now that we're up, let's wash up and eat.
정한
Yes/// Thank you.. Mom
민혁(엄마)
Yeah.. since I'm your mom, there's no one who'll bother you.
정한
yes..//
At that time in the palace
Nobleman 1: Did you hear, Prince? That Count Minhyuk's youngest son is the one who gives birth to a jewel.
Prince: Is that true?
Noble 1: Yes... I managed to obtain the ruby that came from that child. Here.
Prince: Oh~~ What are rubies made of?
Noble 1: It's called blood. It's said that the eyelashes turn into pearls.
Prince: Is that true?
Noble 1: Yes. If you get your hands on that child, succession to the throne won't be a problem.
Prince: That's the problem... You're Count Minhyeok's son, aren't you? You know Count Minhyeok hates me, don't you? He's trembling with fear.
Nobleman 1: Are you still like that? You really are so narrow-minded.
Prince: Ahem... I did hit him a bit...
Nobleman 1: If that's the case, then I'm grateful.
The prince, who was Minhyuk's age, had been following him around and harassing him since childhood, seeking to leverage his family's power, and eventually even trying to take him by force. Of course, Minhyuk, who had been patient, eventually threw a tantrum and threatened to kill the prince.
Prince: Is she pretty?
Noble 1: According to those who saw it in person, it is as beautiful as an angel.
Prince: (gulp)
Then someone knocks on the door.
Knock knock
Sijung: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calls you.
Prince: Just me?
Market: You've called both the prince and the princess.
Prince: Tsk
Prince: Tell them I'll be there soon.
Market: Yes
