The result of trust

Episode 6. Birthday

Time passed, and before I knew it, it was Seongjae's birthday.

The palace was busy for a while preparing for Seongjae's birthday banquet.

현식

Happy Birthday.

성재

Thank you for giving birth to me.

현식

You're already 10 years old.

현식

Seeing you look so reliable, your mother will be very happy too.

남준

Seongjae-yaaa

남준

Oh my gosh, this soft, squishy little baby is already 10 years old?

남준

No, no, I can't send it.

현식

What can't I send?

성재

lol

남준

Seongjae, what do you want for your birthday?

성재

yes?

남준

A gift. Even if he is the Crown Prince, there must be something he wants to receive, right?

성재

Hmm... I'm not sure.

성재

Looking forward to what gift your uncle will bring is also part of the gift, isn't it?

남준

uh...

남준

okay.

현식

Why do you always get dragged into things by kids?

남준

To think I got dragged into this!

현식

Stop playing the flute all the time

현식

Follow your father and make books with me at the Hall of Worthies.

남준

Ah, I'm working hard.

현식

Haha, yeah.

남준

Seongjae, I'll bring it.

성재

yes~

Ilhoon left

성재

father.

Seongjae gestured to call Hyeonsik.

Hyun-sik lowered his body.

성재

Can I go outside the palace just once? (Whispering)

현식

what?

성재

Just this once... I want to go out in casual clothes. (Whispering)

현식

Ha... fine. Take an escort instead.

성재

yes

That night

Seongjae and Minhyeok, dressed in plain clothes, went outside the palace.

성재

Wow! Look at this!

민혁

If you go that way, a night market opens.

성재

Really?

성재

May I go there?

민혁

Of course.

At the night market, there were things to see that Seongjae hadn't been able to see before,

There were so many things to eat and see.

Seongjae ran around here and there, laughing innocently as if excited.

민혁

Decline a little slowly..

성재

Shh! I came out in casual clothes.

민혁

Yes, young master. Haha.

성재

lol

민혁

Young master, I think I need to go to the outhouse for a moment.

성재

Ah yes. Have a good trip.

Seongjae waited at that spot while Minhyeok went to the outhouse.

Minhyuk returned as quickly as possible out of anxiety.

But I wonder why uneasy premonitions are never wrong...

When Minhyuk returned, Seongjae was gone.

민혁

Ah... damn it.

민혁

Young master! Young master!!

Minhyuk kept shouting as he walked around the market floor.

Not long ago...

While Minhyuk went to the outhouse

???: Doesn't that kid over there look like he has some money?

@@@: You can tell just by looking at him that he's a young master from a noble family.

???: Why are you alone?

@@@: How would I know?

@@@: Let's hurry and go bring him back.

???: hey,

성재

?

성재

Ooooooh

The assailants quickly covered Seongjae's mouth and entered a secluded alley.

성재

What... what are you doing right now!

???: Now, my young master. Where is Gaga?

성재

Go? Why would I...

@@@: Stop talking nonsense and just say it.

성재

I don't want to.

???: Haha... yeah, it wouldn't be fun if you blew it too easily.

The assailants instantly drew their swords and threatened Seongjae.

Seongjae did not have a single black weapon at that moment.

성재

Ha... seriously. Why are you doing this to me!

@@@: What could be the reason? We have to make a living, too, don't we?

성재

So... ah...

성재

You can't kill me anyway.

성재

If you kill me, you won't make any money.

???: Did you notice already? You're quite smart...

@@@: I won't kill you, but I can make you look like an idiot.

성재

under...

성재

Save me!!

???: Ha... damn it. Shut up!

"Save me!!"

At the sound of Seongjae's voice coming from somewhere, Minhyuk immediately headed toward the source of the sound.

민혁

Please... please....
