A Little Regret

Pyeonjeon (便殿). It is an office facility where the king or the emperor watches the daily housekeeper.

Various people had already gathered there to discuss. When the princess entered, everyone stopped discussing and looked at the princess and said hello.

“I see you, Princess of Japan.”

Some of them were familiar faces and some they didn’t know. But being able to be in a position like this was definitely a symbol of power by itself.

They’re probably all in great positions. In fact, they only bowed their heads slightly to the princess, but they didn’t act like Kisea-san.

“Empress Mama. How are you?”

“Sir Xerox. You idiot…”

Soon, some people found Empress Mama and came to greet them. My eyes turned to other places, not them.

A human being, but no longer a human being. The face of the corpse in the corner was definitely someone I knew.

‘Prince Edmund.’

And an unknown woman who died hugging the three princes tightly.

Both bodies were not damaged in the slightest. Probably, he died from poison. I don’t think it’s been a while since I’ve seen him alive, but seeing him again as a corpse didn’t feel good.

“No no! Degrading the Prince…!”

As if he had come to this point, the captured knight screamed. Tears fell from both eyes. A knight called Xerox talked briefly with Empress Mama, then glanced at the knight and shook her head.

“Damn, Mama. Please open your eyes. Lowering!”

No matter how many times I hold onto and call someone who has already left, there is no response. The two have already left. to a place we don’t know. A place that even God can’t promise.

The three gods promise well-being in this world through the means of divine power. Nemi for abundance, Elysia for safety, and Helai for healing. But none of the three speak of the well-being of the afterlife.

Death is something outside the realm of the goddesses. Naturally, after death is not within the scope of what they can promise. In fact, does anything after that really exist?

“Since national law is strict, the three princes and the three queens were originally to be tried and then executed. But he must have known that he was destined to die anyway. They both committed suicide.”

“Chief Xerox…! If you did, the lives of both of them would be…”

Even the lady here, who can’t even speak, probably knows. Even if they could reach out to help, there was no reason for them to do so.

In order to save his life, Chungbok went looking for someone who seemed to have the slightest strength, and prayed and prayed even though he knew it would not be possible. The master turned his back on his loyalty and left in search of an easy and quick death.

I really didn’t know that I would see the imposing prince like this again. When I met him before, if someone had told me that this person would die like this, I would not have believed him.

Roka didn’t say anything as if he had similar thoughts. The boy just turned his head.

Kisea-san once again stunned the woman who screamed at the whale whale. A knight called Xerox glanced at Kisea-san.

‘Snow…’

I only saw it after looking straight at it. There was no light in his eyes. Since there is no image in your eyes, you will probably not be able to see.

“One is the princess, and the other two, who are they?”

It was as if he had found the three people who possessed the most magical power among us, the Princess, Roca, and Kisea-san.

Behind him, an old man came and stood beside him. When he saw our company, his eyes lit up.

“Aren’t you that kid back then? Heh heh, the kids these days are different from ours, but after not seeing them for a few days, they grew up and came back.”

“Treasure Keeper Grandpa.”

“Not only has your body grown, but your skills have also grown. I hope you will reach the Master at that age. But Inseok-ah. Was Chamwoldo sold at a junk dealer? Why are you holding such a thing in your hand after taking the best Tao?”

You’ve already met Loka. Was it the person I met when Roka left me and went to the Imperial Vigo?

It didn’t seem like Loca didn’t like that person either, so it wasn’t a particularly cold atmosphere.

It wasn’t even a friendly atmosphere. I didn’t answer and just stood still, so in the end I smiled and took out the moonstone instead.

“That’s because Chamwoldo has already melted so…”

“No, it doesn’t melt that easily. What did you do to melt it like a melted candle? Hey, I’m so bad at using this. It won’t be easy to make the Dao again…”

Startled, he caressed the moonlight and shook his head.

“At least in this imperial palace there is no one who can fix this. I’ve entrusted Whedon, who is the best general in the system, to make weapons several times, but he’s also very savvy. Bringing these things will only ruin them.”

“I am thinking of going to a man named Urban the dog and entrusting him with the repair. Would it be possible for him?”

“Urban? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name.”

The old man was in trouble for a moment. A man named Xerox saw the old man and greeted him politely.

“Master Geher. Do you know anyone?”

“One is familiar with me, and the other is familiar with rumors. Rangwang Kisea, who said that he was a mercenary even though he became a master because he was greedy for money, was probably you.”

“No, I sound like a money-crazy when I say that.”

Kisea countered. said an old man named Geher.

“Or not. More than that, why are you there? Since when have you been with the princess?”

“From today.”

“You are a very honest woman. Well, anyway…”

He thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Dog, Urban… he will definitely be able to do it. Urban was a great craftsman. Because I only forged and polished steel to make a treasured sword. When I met him, I realized that the saying that a craftsman doesn’t choose any ingredients is not a lie.”

“You have a lot of experience.”

“No. You can’t keep talking like that.”

Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, Rocca pulled my sleeve and shook her head.

It had been a long time since I was able to read fear in a child’s eyes.

“It’s not over. The words never end. If I spoke the wrong way, I might have to hear from you here until tomorrow.”

“Look at this guy. The old man has nothing to do and is bored, so he unpacks some stories. Inseok-ah, who else can I hear of such a life story?”

“Sir Geher. Can I see your Majesty sooner than that?”

In the end, the Empress spoke first. In fact, Mama didn’t seem to want to be with the two bodies any longer. I do not know what the relationship between Prince Edmund and this man was, as an outsider.

However, seeing Mama’s eyes so complicated, I can only carefully guess that the two of them didn’t hate each other so intensely.

became There is nothing more meaningless than calculating a gift for a dead person.

Those who were close with him and those who fought with him, now there is no reason to mention Eunwon any more. Death is like that. There are few things the living can do for the dead.

“Mom, please wait a minute.”

An old man named Geher shut his mouth and nodded. The princess, unaware that she was pointing to herself, stood blankly, staring at the body.

“Let’s give him a little more time. The big thing is over. It doesn’t matter if you report a little later. Anyway, a different story is being shared within me.”

“But now, this time, once passed, will never come back. It is better to cut it now. It will be a great study for me as well.”

*****

“Edmund…”

Sadly, it isn’t. But if it’s a pity, it’s not.

Ardein stood blankly for a moment, looking at those who were once alive. Now they can never communicate again. There is no fight, no reconciliation, no more. The wall of death has separated each other forever.

“Did you leave like that?”

The many words of resentment that lingered in my mouth gradually subsided. In the end, I couldn’t get it out of my mouth. already dead Even if I ask for more grudges now, it’s like hitting a dead man in the face. Not a metaphor, really.

“…a pathetic bastard.”

suicide? Suicide? Yes, he ate poison and left comfortably. But what about the lives left here? Now that you are a traitor, you will never see the sun again.

The princess lamented and stood up. All grudges were swept away. The resentment wasn’t so deep as to cut the corpse into pieces. Otherwise, there really wasn’t anything else I could do. he is already dead

Just a little bit of regret left. If I had reached out my hand before the two of them split like this…

When power, prestige, and age were superior. If Edmund had acted like an elder when he still respected him, wouldn’t he have come to this point?

It wasn’t a very deep regret. And no one really knows if that was the case. The princess gave her one last glance, and then looked around. Then I was startled.

“Are you done now?”

It didn’t seem like it, but everyone was staring at themselves. At Geher’s question, she just nodded without a word. Soon, the old man beckoned as he walked in one direction.

“Follow me. There seems to be a passenger, so you will have to wait a bit.”
