Your Majesty, I love you.

21. The End of Unrequited Love

전 웅

Kim Dong-hyun, did you have fun?

김동현

Ha, Dae-hwi, I almost cried when I couldn't see you anymore. Seriously, I have to do this, Emperor.

전 웅

You do everything others can't even if they want to. Hmm, it seems like it'll be nine months before we meet again in one place.

I shook my head at the reality that we could meet one day and then meet again a year later. Park Woojin was lucky, born in Rubia.

김동현

The people have been taken away… … This time, I’m going to kill all the guys below. Honestly, isn’t it time to get rid of them?

전 웅

Help me? They were already annoying.

하성운

He committed many crimes, such as stealing taxes from the people, spending the country's money as he pleased, playing around when His Majesty was away, and gossiping about His Majesty and other people.

김동현

… … ShiX, I knew this would happen. The atmosphere was somehow gloomy. Brother Woong, set a date for the execution.

전 웅

You should stop killing people. If you keep doing this, the population will be cut in half.

김동현

Ah, let's get rid of that first. I don't even want to hear the name.

하성운

As expected, we don't need their opinions, right?

김동현

Yeah, let's inform the country. Those who own slaves will be fined, and those who beat people will be punished ten times that amount?

전 웅

What about the freed slaves? … They have no homes.

김동현

Then why don't you just make it? What are you worrying about?

I grabbed a blank piece of paper, pen in hand, and began to scribble earnestly. Those bastards must own these lands, and they must have gotten them unfairly, of course.

김동현

That's just an overflowing amount of land. I'm sure I told you to manage it, but you didn't, right?

With a deep sigh, I resolved to dedicate the rest of the day to this problem. People were already getting hit by now. I couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

하성운

If Your Majesty so pleases, I will help. I know a lot about the geography.

전 웅

First of all, I'm going to deal with those guys. They're the ones who don't do their job and just swear.

They were two trustworthy people. Fortunately, it seemed like they could do it twice as fast. My thoughts were focused solely on getting things done quickly, meeting my loved ones, and ensuring the people's well-being.

김동현

Lee Dae-hwi… …I won’t disappoint you and I’ll definitely come get you.

이대휘

Oh, I'm bored. Is it really only a year since I last saw you, Your Majesty?

I closed my eyes tightly, remembering the time I cried in front of everyone before leaving. I was so sad back then, what should I do? Perhaps it was because I had hugged His Majesty in front of my father earlier, but his expression didn't look good.

이대휘

Dad, you don't like His Majesty? You probably don't... ...?

"Isn't he the person slaves hate the most after their masters? You know that very well."

이대휘

"Well, there was a reason for that! As far as I can see, Your Majesty is innocent. How hard has Your Majesty been trying to abolish slavery?"

I was confident because I'd seen with my own eyes the efforts to eliminate it before. I told him I'd solve it within the year! But when my father's expression didn't soften, I smiled awkwardly.

"If you like it, I can't help it, but I'm just worried. I've only heard bad things about Your Majesty in my life."

이대휘

Ahahaha… … P, Your Majesty, don’t do anything strange to me! Maybe?

"maybe……?"

It's not like I didn't do anything! I almost died in the middle of it, and yesterday, I had a secret I couldn't tell you. I thought I should stop now, because if I said anything more, you'd probably tell me to cut ties.

이대휘

Huh, Your Majesty is a really good person… … .

“Just a few months ago, you said you were going to kill me-“

이대휘

Oh, Dad, that was a long time ago!!

Lee Dae-hwi, why on earth did you think that?! But looking at it this way, it seems like I've really changed a lot. I never thought I'd like this person, but I've changed to the point where I only look at him, so that says it all.

이대휘

Don't say that... I'm going to love that man a lot!

He laughed, saying he understood, as if he had given up on making a fuss about it. "I promised to marry Your Majesty!"

이대휘

Think about it, if we abolish slavery. It will definitely be abolished within this year!

"So if it doesn't disappear, does that mean I won? Now, what month is it this month?..."

이대휘

J, wait a minute, exactly one year from now. Honestly, six months is a bit much, right?

It was a moment of needless seriousness. I'll believe my telepathic message was conveyed well, Your Majesty!

박우진

Haha… … Am I shaking right now? Lee Dae-hwi must be there right now, right?

Dressed differently than usual—not to say I was dressed strangely—I went to Dae-hwi's house. Naturally, I had to avoid the emperor, and it was with great difficulty that I got out.

Ding-dong-!

박우진

Hey, Daehwi, are you at home-

이대휘

Hey, Woojin hyung, why are you here?

He opened the door wide and called out to me, "Woojin hyung!" I almost fainted from a heart attack. Why are you so cute?

박우진

If it's not inconvenient, come out with me sometimes... even for a little while...

이대휘

Playing together? I'd be more than happy to! I already had no one to play with, and now I'm playing with our precious prince.

I thought he'd reject me, but he accepted me so brightly that I felt a twinge of emotion. I'm glad I like Lee Dae-hwi, not just anyone else. Oh, and of course, I can't touch him because someone else has their eye on him.

박우진

Maybe not now, when do you have time?

이대휘

I have to make it on time for you, hyung. How did you get out without being caught…?

박우진

That's because I always make you work. I want to have some fun too.

박우진

‘Actually, I just want to be with you, but Donghyun is next to me, so I have to draw the line.’

이대휘

Okay, I'll just change my clothes and go out. Just a moment~

She came in cutely and quickly, but came out quickly. When I called her name, a fairy came out. Even just putting on some clothes made her shine.

박우진

You really… … can’t not like it- huh.

이대휘

Yes? What? Let's just go quickly! What's the course?

박우진

A place I wanted to go with you… … No, I wanted to introduce it to you!

It's definitely hard to give up on unrequited love and just be close siblings. Aaah, but what can I do if I like this guy!

박우진

‘I don’t want to like you either, but is that easy?’

A one-sided crush begins and will soon fade away. He smiled bitterly at the sad reality.

Days that felt short, like a day or two, now feel long and tedious, as I'm so concerned about the empty seat next to me. I'm trying to do my best, but it's harder than I thought.

전 웅

Crazy. Hey Donghyun, you've caused trouble at Deli again.

김동현

Oh, please get rid of that country. Please… …!!

전 웅

No, it's not that simple. This time, they're trying to kill everyone in the country because of a war. What will become of Delhi and its people?

김동현

Shit X. Block them all right now.

Since our country, Rosemary, is close to Delina, they'll all come. What will happen if that many people come? Our country's state is already a mess.

김동현

I'm going to die now. How can I control all those people? I can't, I can't.

전 웅

… … Tens of thousands of people died in a few hours. They’ll be coming here soon to catch people?

I bit my lip. I took a deep breath, then immediately left the room and prepared for the meeting. If this continued, everyone would die, leaving no one behind.

김동현

Protect our people first. If they die because of Delina, it's over.
