Flames rose up.
A fire that contained fierce and terrible heat, but at the same time felt strangely warm.
Hahahahaha.
The blue-white flames that penetrated the body along with the spear blade burned, melted, and simultaneously enveloped everything.
One person’s unhappy life.
A monster who realizes his mistake only in the end.
‘Goodbye, Wichong.’
It was at that time that I transcribed the name of the person I had seen at the sales floor the day before.
The chains of immortality that bound a person as an imperfect blessing and curse were broken.
Tiring. Tiring. Tiring.
Hearing the clear sound of the bell announcing that eternal rest had finally arrived, I collected the heat that had been constantly pouring out through the blade of the white flame spear.
In the charred spot, only a handful of ash remained.
Left ahhh.
Was it the wind that blew by chance, or was it the generosity of someone watching everything from above?
I stared at the ash being carried by the wind and spreading far and wide.
The next moment, I heard a person’s voice breaking the short silence.
“Sasaroi was a traitor who tried to overthrow the imperial family, and a criminal who colluded with foreign enemies to throw the great nation into disaster.”
I asked back without looking away.
“Do you think it was too comfortable an end for someone like that?”
“Yes.”
“I think so too.”
No matter how much you reflect and repent, a sin once committed will not go away. All the mistakes he made as a member of the Dongcheon Demon Army, not as a threat, are a burden he must bear even in hell.
“Then why did you do that?”
“Then why didn’t your Majesty stop me?”
Master of the voice, the emperor answered. “Because I didn’t want to stop it/1
Although it was a short answer, the answer was full of meaning and made me laugh. “I see.”
“Now it’s your turn to answer.” “I am.”
I paused for a moment and bit my lip.
“······There were just some people that suddenly came to mind.”
“I guess they too are sinners like Wichung. “I committed an irreparable mistake.”
“yes. And at the same time, they were people who regretted such bad choices.”
The great elder of the Taiwonjin family was like that, and the white statue of the Nammanyasugung Palace was also like that.
They chose the wrong path, following the light called Amcheon (暗天), and were never able to retrace their steps.
Sometimes I look back on the way I came and regret it, because I have come too far to turn back.
And while I was pouring out my anger toward those people, I also had to feel sorry for them.
I could have made a slightly more correct choice.
With the thought that if that were the case, innocent people would not be sacrificed.
‘But it was always late.’ It’s not self-blame or regret.
There is nothing that can be done about water that has already spilled. However, although I could criticize the result of their choice, I could not dare to criticize that choice.
Revenge is easy, forgiveness is difficult.
Humans are inherently such animals. “We will erect a memorial monument.” In the silence that had fallen again, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth and continued.
“One is for those who passed away here today, and the other is for the people who were sacrificed in the fierce strife between military leaders. And the last one.”
The emperor suddenly stopped speaking and his gaze turned towards the west, where the wind had rushed far away.
“Mosanpa (芽山派). Yes, the Mosan faction would be good.”
Breathe.
At the emperor’s unexpected declaration, the civil and military officials around him gasped.
Because erecting a memorial to the Mosan faction would mean dishonoring the reputation of King Taejo, the founder of the great nation, and the imperial family.
But before any of them could open their mouths, a shock even greater than the previous one swept through the surroundings.
No, I hit it.
“And all of this will be done in the name of the Crown Prince, not mine.”
“······!”
“······!”
The air around me trembled. Everyone’s eyes widened.
Prince.
A new ruler who will one day inherit this vast continent.
I also completely forgot.
What was this place created for today?
What awaits at the end of this bloody, cruel banquet?
And the crown prince’s position, which had been vacant for the past ten years, was about to receive its owner at this very moment. “King Sangsan, Jupyo, obey the imperial command!”
The exhausted emperor can no longer be found anywhere.
A voice filled with the majesty that only the supreme king of a nation can possess pierced the air. Riding the wind, it enveloped the entire banquet hall.
Cha cha cha chang!
Starting with Baek Yeon, the commander of the Geumuiwi, thousands of Geumuiwi drew their swords and pointed them at the sky.
Their golden armor and blood-soaked sword bodies sparkle.
Those brilliant waves made of steel were shining only for one boy.
To the young king who chose forgiveness rather than revenge even in the face of enemies and who dreams of a peaceful era that no monarch has been able to achieve in the past thousand years.
“ah. iced coffee.”

And towards his younger brother who seemed at a loss in the face of this sudden situation, the emperor calmly opened his mouth.
“Did you dare disobey the emperor’s orders/’ “Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”
“Come closer.”
“But, but Your Majesty has already
At that moment, there was no one who could not figure out what King Sangsan Ju-pyo was trying to say or where his gaze was directed.
A woman surrounded by courtiers, clutching her swollen belly.
I already know the name of the woman who went from Sichuan Province’s favorite concubine to becoming the emperor’s concubine.
‘Aehyang.’
I can feel the anger that cannot be hidden in Aehyang’s eyes as she looks at this place with gritted teeth.
However, the emperor’s expression towards her did not contain even the slightest emotion.
It’s like treating a tool that was kept by your side from the beginning out of necessity. ‘Wait, really?’
Suddenly, a thought passed through my mind, and the emperor opened his mouth.
“That child who will come into the world someday will inherit the blood of the already dead Lord of Sichuan Province.”
“Therefore, neither that woman nor the unborn child has anything to do with Jim, so no one should raise any questions about this.”
At this unconventional declaration, the civil and military officials clearly looked taken aback by the unexpected situation, but several people, including me, were convinced.
There was not a single lie in what the emperor said a moment ago.
‘I never expected it to be true.’
An emperor who, despite having an empress and concubines, had not seen an heir for over ten years.
However, when I think about it again now, it is not that I did not see the successor, but that I was right in not seeing it.
For my only younger brother, King Sangsan Joo Pyo.
‘It must have been protected from all threats. The throne, and the emperor.’
The only direct descendant of the royal family.
At the same time, for Amcheon, he is a great scarecrow who has every reason to overthrow the emperor.
On the surface, it was no different from sending him into exile because he could not bring himself to kill his younger brother, but the reason why King Zhou Biao of Shangsan was able to survive until now was because of the emperor’s will.
“Do you still not understand?
He, who had given up being the heir for his younger brother and had to become a heartless older brother for his younger brother, spoke slowly.
“It was a position reserved for you from the beginning. “It was a place that only you could climb.”
Although he rose to the position of the most honorable emperor in the world, the shackles of being a traitor and a scoundrel were placed around his neck.
Although he took care of government affairs day and night, due to his restraint, he became a tyrant.
It was called
“I hoped you would survive and not become Jim’s only weakness.”
Perhaps, on the day when the unweaned child left the imperial palace, it was not only Dongcheon Demon Army who was watching from afar.
“I had to send him away to protect him. “In order to eradicate the traitors that we were unable to completely eradicate in the past, we had to bring you back to this land of death.”
Ten years were not short at all.
To correct the Dongcheon Demon Army’s shaky foundation. Even as the emperor prepares for the battle that will end everything.
And his only brother, who was secretly returned by the Geumuiwi, was protected in the form of confinement.
Even using an invincible expert called Gungseong (弓星) as a mere bodyguard. “Pyoah (標兒) hey.”
The emperor’s voice that flowed from between his dry lips was surprisingly warm.
It was enough to make even Baekyeon, who had been with him the longest as a comrade and subject, open his eyes wide.
Enough to harden the body and mind of a boy who had longed for his blood relatives for a long time.
“Now, the time has come.”
“······!”
At that soft word, eyes as clear as a river trembled.
However, what was contained in those eyes was not hesitation but determination, a will that only those who move toward their dreams can have.
“God, Sangsan King Jupyo.
Sreuk.
The long hem of his clothes grazed a pool of blood, but even on a battlefield where everything was stained red, the young king’s light did not fade at all.
“I follow the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.”
A bright smile that no one had ever seen before spread across the emperor’s wrinkled mouth.
“I agree.”
Wow!
Amidst a huge shout that shook the heavens and the earth, the two people met after wandering a long way and hugged each other. Not as a lord, but as a brother.
The crown prince and emperor of a newly born great kingdom were born here today. The moment the two brothers embraced each other, the crowd trembled, unable to swallow the rising commotion.
“iced coffee······!”
How much have you hoped for over the past ten years? I hope all of this is a lie.
I hope that Sun Li, twisted and scorched like a monster, will one day find its rightful place.
But.
But it happened like that.
What I had longed for in my heart, without being able to say it out loud, had become a reality and was unfolding before my eyes.
A whirlwind of indescribable emotions swirled in the hearts of those who witnessed the end of an era and the opening of a new era.
It soon became a huge roar and overflowed in all directions.
“Long live your Majesty the Emperor!”
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince, live forever!”
“Please, please kill God!” Countless cheers and cries.
Some who knew the truth laughed and cried like children, while others who had been deceived by lies and criticized the emperor staggered through self-reproach and regret.
However, there were also people who did not belong to any of them.
“hurray! hurray! Long live!”
Dry lips and wrinkled cheeks soaked with tears that constantly cry out prayers for the emperor’s long life.
However, the old gray eyes that looked at this whole situation were deeply sunken.
‘I never thought things would turn out this way.’
The old man silently swallowed in his heart a word that should never be uttered.
Thinking about the opportunities that still remain.
‘However, everything is not over yet.’
He was an old man who knew the whole truth from the beginning and joined hands with the Dongcheon Demon Army only for the sake of wealth and glory, but he had no intention of becoming a traitor and having his old family exterminated.
‘Yeonpanjang (連判狀). All we need to do is get rid of the few people who know the identity of Yeonpanjang and Nobu.’ The statement that King Seongjeuk was a traitor and traitor is incorrect.
Even if you actually plotted a treason, it is not a crime as long as you are not discovered.
And the old man, who was the teacher of the crown prince in the past and was respected by all Confucian scholars in the world and rose to the rank of a great scholar, was very meticulous in this regard.
‘I will definitely survive. As always.’
The old man, recalling that promise in his heart, backed away little by little, shouting for national independence amidst the chaotic crowd.
I had to meet my subordinates waiting outside the imperial palace as quickly as possible.
If he eliminated the very few key people who knew his identity and obtained the Yeonpanjang, he would be able to maintain his current status, and even if the situation was difficult, he would be able to take his family assets and run away.
No, I believed so.
Until, amidst the muffled shouts, someone’s eerily clear voice penetrated my ears.
“Where are you going so busy? “In times like these, we need to share the joy.” “I”
The old body suddenly stiffened.
The old man slowly turned his head and saw the face of a young man approaching at a leisurely pace.
“Jin…Taekyung.”
“Hey, what is Jin Tae-kyung? “Desolately.” The young man, Jin Tae-kyung, added with a grin.
“You should say Comrade Jin Tae-kyung.”
“Well, what is that…
“I did not know? “I also signed the petition?”
“Uh, isn’t it this person?”
At that moment, when Jin Tae-kyung shook his head, a cool voice rang out from behind the old man.
“long time no see. “Adult in college history.” puck!
As the shock hit the back of his neck and his vision turned black at the same time, the old man remembered a person’s name.
‘erythema.’
It was over, everything.
