Jin looked at Siris in shock.
She had an expressionless face as always. In some ways she seems to be detached from everything, and in other ways she seems indifferent to everyone.
However, as a long-time colleague and friend, Jin knew why Siris always had that expression.
responsibility.
From the moment she recognized who she was, Siris’ life was filled with training to become the perfect next queen.
A harsh and boring life.
Siris was accustomed to that kind of life from a very young age. It never occurred to her that ‘something else’ might come into play in her life for the Queen Mother.
That is, until I met Jin.
Cry… … .
Siris filled his and Jin’s glasses with wine.
“The first day we met, you scammed me at Marmite. haha… … “If I think about it now, it was strange that I applied ointment at that time.”
“What is it like?”
“At first, I gave him ointment to apply on his own. Then he saw your dirty hands and said he would apply it for you. “If it were my personality, I wouldn’t have given you ointment, much less applied it myself.”
“That’s right.”
“I guess it was surprising at the time that I met someone my age in such a rough place. “From a young age, I often acted on behalf of my mother, and when I went out of the palace, I was mainly on missions, so I rarely even talked to my peers.”
Jin nodded, thinking of Talaris. She had been bragging about sending Siris to important meetings and going to meet her lovers ever since Siris was about five years old.
Of course, the intention was to boast that Siris was that smart, but it was a passage that immediately showed how much pressure she had to endure growing up as a descendant of the royal family. So to speak, she was receiving royal lessons at every moment and was always suffering from exams.
“So I saved him, and when I found out that he was Runkandel’s youngest child… … I was really shaken up. But after thinking about it for a while, I realized I wasn’t angry at you.”
“… … Siris, are you angry with yourself? “The fact that I was deceived.”
“that’s right. I’m angry with myself. How ridiculous did I make the Queen Mother by foolishly doing her a small favor… … I even lost sparring. “That’s what I thought.”
Phew!
Siris took a sip of wine and smiled. Jin followed suit, emptying his glass and refilling it.
“But after losing, I put ointment on you again… … In the midst of feeling defeated, disappointed, and other such feelings, it was strangely refreshing. You know what I want to say, right? The truth is, I’ve always wanted to escape the pressure. “The pressure of being a small palace lord.”
Even though we were together for such a long time.
This was the first time Jin had heard Siris’s intentions like this. And she never even noticed. Because she has always been the perfect oxbow owner.
From around the time she turned fifteen, those under the Queen’s protection went to Siris, not Talaris, when they had a problem.
“I had no choice but to work hard, Jin. To put it bluntly, I am less talented than my mother. While playing, her mother was one of the three great powers, including Sir Siron and Lord Ron… … I have never taken a break from training even for a single day, and I am not even in the top 5 powerhouses of this generation. “That’s why my mother pushed me so harshly from a young age.”
Jin didn’t answer, but clinked his glass lightly with her.
“To me, you have always been a good competitor. Our relationship started fresh, and what we experienced together afterwards was dangerous but mysterious. “How many times has your life been saved thanks to our secret palace?”
“I can’t even count them.”
Starting from Colon until now, Bigung has always supported Jin generously. Even when she came to Mila to meet the people from the Demon World, she was riding a mote.
“You have helped me countless times, Siris. “No matter what I do, I can never repay it all.”
“Yes, if you have a conscience, you should know. Haha, then try braiding my hair.”
“Hair?”
“You’ve never tried it, have you?”
“I don’t think there is one.”
Siris showed off her long hair by braiding it in front of her shoulder.
“Take your hair between your fingers and gently knot it… … This is how you do it. Braid only three braids here and here.”
“Let’s make it as pretty as possible.”
“Yes, if you’re not pretty, I’ll turn your chin away.”
Jin stood up and stood behind Siris. She carefully picked her hair, and each strand smelled sweet.
Jin didn’t open his mouth for a while because he was concentrating, and at some point, Siris started humming in a low voice.
Every single stem was braided.
When Jin held up the mirror to reflect her braided hair, their eyes met in the mirror. For some reason, I laughed.
“How is it? “I said I was working hard.”
“Hmm, that’s good. Please be patient until the end.”
Jin braids his hair again, and Siris hums.
Jin, it’s been a long time, no. Maybe she was showing her flirtatious side for the first time, she thought.
It was beautiful. Her silver-white hair was shining like a river in the sunlight.
“Once upon a time.”
“Yes, Siris.”
“At one time, I had the same thoughts as my mother.”
“which… … ?”
“One day, it occurred to me that it might really be a good idea to have you as the hostess of the secret palace. I don’t remember exactly when it was. Was it time to recapture the compass? Anyway, I thought it would be best for the royal palace.”
For the big palace.
Siris pondered those words and took another drink.
“I don’t know about you, but that issue has been a long topic for me. Because I couldn’t understand my heart. “Did I think it would be a good idea to marry you just for the sake of being a queen, or did I think I wanted to marry you because I love you?”
Jin couldn’t answer.
However, Siris did not mind at all as he silently braided his hair. Anyway, I didn’t start talking today because I wanted to hear an answer.
“It had to be the former. “I should have wanted to marry you only for her concubine’s sake, not because I love you.”
However, it felt good to see Jin’s hand trembling slightly while braiding my hair. So, out of curiosity, I asked a question.
“Jin, why don’t you ask why your opinion is not important?”
“that… … .”
“You could have just refused?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Haha, no, it’s not true. You would have refused. “Because you probably already have someone in mind.”

Valeria Heaster.
Siris knew that she and Jean had spent the night together in the Red Owl.
As soon as I heard the news, I decided I had to talk to Jin. I thought it would be a good idea to tell Jin my feelings just once, just once.
“jin.”
“yes.”
“Unfortunately for me, it’s not because of the big palace… … From some point on, I just had you in my heart. “I respected you as a competitor, I liked you as a friend, and I loved you as a man.”
The second hair was braided. Jin calmed his trembling hands and picked out the last of his hair.
“I was the one who confessed, so why did you drop it? “If my hair gets damaged, I can’t just get over it.”
“Siris… … .”
“It would have been nice if I had known this feeling a little earlier. And I’m more like my mother… … What can I say, if she had been good at expressing herself, she might have had a chance. But not anymore. I think it’s time to close this heart. For the Big Palace, and for us.”
we.
It wasn’t just Jin and himself that Siris expressed that way. It was a story that included all of her colleagues.
“The fight that awaits us now will be harder than ever. Then, I don’t want to make a mistake. “I have already made my choice.”
I couldn’t really choose my words.
Jin just braided her hair with hands that had barely stopped shaking. When she had finished braiding the last of her hair, Jean showed Siris the look in the mirror.
“Oh, you did it well and delicately until the end.”
And just as Jin was about to nod his head.
Sitting back, Siris naturally pulled his neck and kissed him on the lips.
“With this, all the debt you owed to the Big Palace as a competitor has been paid off. From now on, we won’t be in debt to each other.”
you to me Because you are my best friend and the most precious person.
“So, if you need anything in the future, feel free to tell me anything. It means be shameless like you are now. okay? Instead, promise me two things.”
“… … what?”
“First, I hope that your treatment of me will not change in the future. I feel more comfortable with you now than before. “Can you do it?”
Jin nodded slowly.
“Secondly… … I feel like I’m a bad person for saying this, but whatever. It’s not going to happen anyway. “If by any chance you feel that your thoughts of Valeria are not permanent, come to me.”
Siris turned around again.
For some reason, Jin’s eyes seemed wet, and I didn’t want to see them. I didn’t even want to hear the answer to my second promise.
It wasn’t because Jin seemed to be shaking his head. Likewise, it was because I felt sorry for my precious colleague, Valeria.
There are two glasses left and one glass of wine left.
Siris filled his own glass with all the remaining alcohol. And as he was about to empty the cup, he impulsively got a chill.
Hwaaaaa… … .
The glass filled with cold bloomed like a snowflake and then froze in an instant.
“… … For some reason, I don’t want to drink this right now. I’ll have to come back and empty it someday when I remember. Let’s go now, Jin. “Go out first and wait a moment. I’ll ask the manager to keep this and then I’ll leave.”
After Jin left, Siris stared at the frozen glass for a while.
It was Sogungju’s heart.
