◈ 185. [Side Story] Falling Flowers
10 minutes ago.
It’s a sudden word.
I hit a German Suplex.
In other words, it is a wrestling technique that grabs the opponent’s waist with both hands and lifts it backwards to slash the opponent’s head upside down.
I don’t know what this technique is called in this world, but I suffered it anyway.
The person who bet this technique on me was Princess Yoon.
“Uryaaaaa!”
She lifted me up with bearish strength, and threw me straight into the wooden chairs on the platform.
Kudangtangtang!
“Quack!”
The chairs were smashed, and I was buried in the debris.
Whoops, I have no feeling in my neck. I think my back is too weak.
As I sprawled out, Princess Yoon cast a healing magic on me with a bloody face.
No, give me a bottle and give me medicine. Rather, what is the princess class? Are you a Mutugaya priest?
“No one cheats in the North. Do you know why?”
After casting German Suplex and the subsequent healing magic on me, Yoon looked down at me, who was on the floor, and wiped his hands.
“Because cheating people, regardless of social status, gender, or age, should be beaten.”
“sorry… … do… … .”
After announcing their engagement today, he suddenly dumped Princess Yoon and danced with another woman.
There was an uproar among the envoys of the Northern Kingdom. It was a very big diplomatic rudeness.
The people of the Northern Kingdom, who were very angry, decided to ‘punish’ me in their own way, and this was the result. It is a very exciting country.
“Come on, I think this should have eased your mind a little.”
Clearing up the hideous atmosphere, Fernandez stepped forward. This kid has a refreshing face for some reason.
“It’s a pity to marry a fool like my younger sister, who has a bright future like Princess Yoon.”
“Actually, there was a lot of talk in our imperial family. I thought marriage talks with this mischievous guy would be a nuisance to the Aryan kingdom… … .”
Even Lark joined in. It’s a bit sad to be sold by the older brothers at the same time.
The two princes appeased the northern kingdom envoys and led them out of the grand banquet hall.
Arranged marriages have already passed, so the alliance must be strengthened in other ways.
Princess Yoon rolled her eyes at me for the last time and went outside. I put my hand on her back and waved her hand.
“Did Prince Ash make an accident again?”
“Is it like that? As expected, the empire’s number one idiot… … .”
“So what? You didn’t want to marry the northern kingdom, so you called her fiancée like a beggar from the past, whom you didn’t normally see, and danced?”
“Are you aware that you are causing harm to the imperial family?”
“Your Majesty must be really worried too… … .”
I closed my eyes gently while monopolizing the evils of the remaining nobles in the party.
Still, thanks to the reputation he has built up as an idiot, I’m not that surprised, even though everyone curses at me.
‘This is how you added a page to the legend of Kim Ash’s madman… … .’
As soon as I decided to live as Ash, I did this. Maybe I have a talent for pretty crazy things?
At that time, Serenade finished the private meeting with the emperor and came out. I smiled and attached her words to her.
“Did you solve it well?”
***
“Let’s break off our engagement.”
After hearing the report that the conversation between the Emperor and Serenade went well.
To the serenade that seemed to have something more to say to me, I jumped ahead.
“… … .”
The serenade froze. I laughed bitterly.
Of course I know. As far as the fact that this lady has feelings for me.
However, breaking up the engagement with Serenade is something that I have been thinking about for a long time.
“There are many eyes to see.”
The party leader’s attention is on us on the platform. I took Serenade’s hand and led her towards the garden terrace.
“Let’s go over there and talk.”
The serenade followed powerlessly.
It was summer in full swing in the garden.
Even in the evening sunset, the recording was clear. The fresh summer scent filled the garden.
On the tree next to the terrace, the spring flowers that had been hanging till the end were dropping their petals one by one. It was a light blue petal.
“why… … Are you?”
A wet voice was heard. I looked back.
“Why do you want to abandon me again?”
Tears trickled down my white cheeks.
Serenade was looking up at me with tears streaming down her silver eyes.
I remembered the day I first met Serenade. Even then, she looked up at me like this and cried.
“I don’t really know what’s going on with Mr. He treated me coldly for years, but he treated me kindly the past few days, and now why? … Are you asking to break up?”
“… … .”
“If you’re going to throw it away anyway, why did you treat me so warmly? If you come to know the warmth like this… … I mean there’s no going back… … .”
“serenade.”
Approaching her weeping, I let out a small sigh.
“Our relationship was wrong from the start.”

The imperial family needed money, and the merchant family needed a rise in status.
At the end of an understanding between the two, Ash and Serenade were engaged.
And the misunderstandings, speculations, and wrongdoings that have accumulated over the past 10 years are mixed… … The relationship between the two broke up.
Ash became a maniac, harassed Serenade and extorted materially,
Serenade needed Ash’s lineage, so he passively clung to it.
‘The relationship between people is like a Jenga puzzle.’
A wooden puzzle that builds a tower by removing the pillars between them and placing them on top.
Ash and Serenade’s relationship was a precarious Jenga puzzle on the verge of collapsing.
The pillars were thin and flimsy, so they were in a state where even the slightest shock would cause them to pour out.
Although he temporarily sutured his wounds and endured a bigger crisis, he could not build the next human relationship in this state.
Because the festering wounds will burst one day. After all, one day the tower will collapse.
So- I decided to build the tower again from zero base.
‘Because I decided to live as Ash.’
I will also operate on the relationship between the four Ashes.
So, serenade.
“Let’s start over.”
The serenade, who had been crying and giggling, looked up at me with open eyes. I smiled.
poor girl
You poor man who came all the way here to rescue me, standing barefoot, with his short hair disheveled, his dress torn, his stockings torn.
We are on the same side.
you can’t throw it away
“The circumstances of the imperial family and your family’s long-cherished wishes are all right. No one else cares, just between the two of us, let’s start over.”
“… … .”
“first… … With the commander of the southern front, and the upper tier to deal with there. As a good business partner.”
It is no longer someone dependent on someone,
To walk equally, at the same eye level, looking at each other.
“All over again. it’s a fresh start how is it?”
The serenade who was wiping away tears with the back of her hand murmured softly.
“… … Even a dance partner.”
“huh?”
“Will your dance partner continue?”
I burst into laughter as I watched the serenade with nose-maeng-maeng sounds.
“of course. partner.”
The evening wind blew. From the branches that swayed above our heads, the last remaining spring petals poured down.
Suddenly, a verse came to mind.
One day waving a delicate hand and falling petals… … .
“… … .”
Spring ends and summer comes.
We become a little more, adults.
As I said in that poem, there are relationships that mature only when there is a breakup.
therefore… … .
I said with a smile.
“Let’s break up.”
Facing my silver eyes filled with serenade tears, I spoke softly.
“Let’s go together from the beginning. serenade.”
Past the young spring of immaturity, into the summer of maturity.
together.
“… … .”
Serenade didn’t cry anymore.
Serenade, who wiped away the tears with the back of her hand, tidied up her face, then bowed to me first and bowed.
It was a neat and beautiful movement.
“It was a good time. Husband.”
It was a greeting after the dance.
Smiling brightly, I slowly bowed in front of her while bowing.
“I enjoyed it too, serenade.”
shoot it… … .
After the greetings are over, the wind has stopped, and the flower rain has stopped.
“… … excuse me. My dear… … No, Your Highness the Prince.”
Serenade corrected her title and smiled thinly.
“I know it’s really disgraceful to say things like this after a breakup.”
Your voice trembles. eyes are red She is truly a woman of many tears.
“Just one, can you grant my wish?”
“What? say it.”
“only once… … Can I give you a hug?”
It was a voice that seemed to have squeezed out all its will.
I smiled and spread my arms.
Serenade was carefully placed in my arms. I hugged her tightly.
“Hard. suffocate Tight enough to crush… … .”
I gently grasped her slender shoulders, which would break if I held her tighter.
The serenade in my arms sobbed.
So we broke up.
So, we parted.
***
Three days have passed.
The victory party was over, the negotiations with the guardians were over, the Wintersilver family was saved, and the southern front’s independence route was guaranteed.
It seemed like everything was going well, but it wasn’t.
First of all, about half of the promised sponsors withdrew their support because of kicking Princess Yoon at the end of the party.
It was the reason why such a light man could not be trusted.
‘It’s not because it’s just a waste of money… … ?’
Still, about half of them actually came to the palace and gave donations.
I wonder where this is, but why are they all my big fans… … let in Every time I received sponsorship, I was a little scared.
It’s normal to try to spit while shaking hands, asking for an autograph on some ass, asking for an eyeball licking, asking for some kind of reaction, no, crazy man, why so many… … ?
Even so, with his many years of experience as a streamer, he managed to entertain patrons without difficulty.
Bastards who cross the Donero line just hit the van and that’s it.
The negotiations with the guardians seemed to have ended well, but after that, he had to be called to the imperial palace every day for additional meetings.
It was mainly about the production and inventory of magic stones, and how much to send to the ecliptic.
Of course, the ecliptic demanded the full amount, and I tried my best to cover up the amount I earned and send only half of the actual amount.
It’s honestly a waste of even half of it, but I’ll have to spend enough to avoid human sacrifice in this scary town.
If you think you can save people, you can send more than half of them. Anyway, after the middle, there are still magic stones left over.
Envoys from the Northern Aryan kingdom also came to visit me once. Unexpectedly, Princess Yoon had a refreshing face.
“Thanks to you, I’m glad I can’t get married, what!”
He said he had come to see me one last time after preparing to return to the North.
The signing of the alliance seems to have ended well somehow. Did Fernandez do some numbers?
I’m a little sorry that this is like trolling, but you shouldn’t try to use someone else as a marriage of convenience in the first place.
“Oh, I will tell my country that I am dumped by the prince. Are you okay?”
“Do whatever you want.”
That much I am willing to do. Go ahead and say you’re very full. He brags that he also has a German Suplex.
“See you then, Your Highness the Prince. Next time, put some more muscle on it. Because it seems to be my taste.”
Having said that, before leaving, Yoon said, Oh my! Then he suddenly lifted his shirt up.
Me, Yun’s men, and Alberto, who was clearing the teacup, were frightened. what?!
Beneath Yoon’s top, his abs were shining proudly.
“How is it, is it cool?”
Then he smiled and left.
no… … It’s cool. What’s the point of me showing you that?
I spend a few days like that.
“Ah, Pigitta.”
With no more guests, I sigh in relief and start preparing to head south.
“Your Highness, a new guest has arrived.”
“huh?”
Someone came to visit with Alberto’s guidance.
I smiled wide at the welcome face.
“Yah! You were alive!”
“… … .”
A prosecutor wearing a maid’s uniform with a swordsman on his back.
It was Elise.
