The Eight Princes of the Eri Kingdom
00. The reason I protected you


"Ugh-"

When I turned seven, I had a little sister. A pretty little girl.

Junmyeon was also very happy to have a little sister. Of course, I was also very happy at first.


어머니
"What should I name it?"

When it was time to name my sister, the extended family was gathered at home: my grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, and uncles.

Junmyeon, Ray, and my uncles all offered their opinions. Of course, my grandparents also recommended good names to my mother.

"Sophia!"

"Luna!"

I suggested many names like Sophia, Luna, etc., but my mother and father looked like they didn't like them.

Then suddenly a name crossed my mind.


시우민(김민석)
"Elysia-"

The name 'Elysia' suddenly crossed my mind, and when my mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather heard the name, they were very happy and said it was a good name.

When my younger sibling was born, it was just good.

My younger brother Junmyeon and my cousins Lay, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Kyungsoo used to play with Elicia a lot.

But Elicia only liked me, who was always busy studying, leaving out the kids who played with her.


엘리시아
"Xiumin, brother~ Come play with me! Hehe"


시우민(김민석)
"Haa... Can't you see that I'm training right now? You have many older brothers who play with you, so why are you asking me to play with you? Go to Suho."


엘리시아
" yes... "

Elicia ran to Suho and hugged him, sobbing.

I felt really sorry for Elicia at the time because I, as her eldest brother, couldn't hug her and couldn't play with her using the excuse that I was busy.


수호(김준면)
"Elysia, why are you crying? Who has been tormenting you?"


엘리시아
"It's nothing! Suho, come play with me! Hehe"

Seven years passed and when I turned 21, my father, seeing how trustworthy I was, said, "Now I can leave the king's position to you."


아버지
"Xiumin - Now I will pass the throne to you. I hope you will rule our Eri Kingdom well, just like your father."


시우민(김민석)
"I will rule our Eri Kingdom well, as you commanded. I hope that you will not get sick and that you will live a long and healthy life."

I succeeded to the throne at the age of 23.

He went through the villages, greeting the people of the Eri Kingdom and receiving a warm welcome from them.

But as soon as he became king, a mountain of work piled up, and he was busy with it. Just like before, he couldn't welcome Elysia back then.

다른 애들
"Hey, Elicia, you said she's a crybaby? Haha"

There were a lot of kids who teased me, calling me a crybaby. Every time that happened, Kai would run over and say something on my behalf.


카이(김종인)
"Hey, you're the crybabies. Get out of here right now-"


엘리시아
"Thank you... Please don't tell Siu-min about this either."

He also told me not to tell Siu-min's older brother about this incident.

I didn't tell Xiumin because I thought he would be annoyed if he heard this news.

puck-

I tripped over the kids' legs and fell.

The kids were murmuring as they watched me fall from behind.

다른 애들
"Look at him fall lol"

Thump-

Tuuk-


엘리시아
"Huh...-"

"Elysia, take my hand and get up."

Someone reached out to me. I took it, stood up, and looked ahead to see Siu-min standing there.

The owner of that hand was Xiumin's older brother.


시우민
"Who are you to bully my little sister, Elicia?"

다른 애들
"Your Majesty, I am sorry!"


시우민
"If I catch you like this one more time, I won't let you off the hook. Do you understand?"

다른 애들
"N..yes, I understand!"

I had no idea that kids my age were going through something like this.

I, the king of this kingdom, felt sorry for not being able to take care of my only sister, Elysia.

I led Elysia into the castle.


시우민(김민석)
"Elysia- can you tell me what happened and why you didn't tell this brother-"


엘리시아
"During that time, I was teased by many kids my age. Many kids didn't know that Xiumin's older brother was my older brother, and they only knew that Suho's older brother was my older brother."


엘리시아
"Kids from my class and other classes came and started spreading rumors that I had gotten into the school illegally. The rumors spread throughout the school, and after that, kids would often knock me down and hit me for no reason."


엘리시아
The reason I couldn't tell you about these things is because I was afraid that you would hate me even more than you already do and that you would find it annoying.


시우민(김민석)
"Why do I hate you? I don't hate you. So whenever something like that happens, tell this to my brother. Do you understand?"


엘리시아
"Yes... thank you, brother-"

I gave Elicia a warm hug for the first time.

I have never once disliked Elysia.

I don't know why I was so cold to Elicia back then.

But now I really like and love Elysia.

It's been a long time since I've come back with a new work.


하프며니
This piece is a mix of kingdom and supernatural themes. I remade a piece I'd written about on my blog. Haha.


하프며니
Some of you may be wondering what other articles I have written and why I brought in a new work.


하프며니
Destiny, I've decided to temporarily suspend the serialization of "My Love." For the time being, I plan to continue serializing only this work.

Thank you for your understanding.
