He was not surprised because he came to see him from far away land, but he was shocked by his physical condition.
But Baekhan smiled happily.
âI was chosen by the White Dragon.â
âWhite Dragon?â
âYes.â
The moment he found out that he had been chosen by White Dragon, his eyes flashed with alarm.
In the original story, Eunhanâs circumstances is only briefly described. For this reason, information on spear or dragon skill was not provided in detail.
But I could guess why he was wary of the white dragon.
He was chosen by an ominous black dragon. The people tried to kill Eunhan just for that reason. Because itâs a white dragon, it must be at odds with the black dragon.
âWhatâs the white dragon doing here? Are you here to kill me?â
Baekhan shook his head hurriedly.
âNo.â
âThen why did you come?â
âIâm here to pick up my brother.â
âAre you trying to send me away?â
âNo way! Iâm here to get you.â
âThe White Dragonâs vessel swore allegiance to its master.â
âWhat the hell is this?â
âWhite Dragon chose Eunhan as my master. Please become Changâs emperor.â
Baekhan kissed Eunhanâs feet. As I watched from the side, I was surprised by the situation. However, Eunhanâs face, which looked down at Baekhan, was rather cold.
âI refuse. It must be one of your tricks.â
He answered without a momentâs hesitation.
âItâs not a trick! I came alone. I didnât tell anyone!â
âIf thatâs true, Iâll reject right away. And keep your mouth shut.â
Eunhan spit out coldly. His appearance, who always looks nice, felt unfamiliar.
âBrother, do you know how much Iâve been looking for you? Thatâs how I cried. I missed you.â
âGet out.â
âListen to me, brother. Iâll explain everything. Please donât turn away from me.â
I felt sorry for the boy who begged with his knees. I spoke carefully to Eunhan.
âEunhan, why donât you listen to the story? I donât know the details, but I donât think heâs dangerous.â
âNo, Your Highness, you canât trust him.â
Eunhan was firm. At that moment, the gentle expression of Baekhan suddenly changed and looked at me.
ââŠBrother, did you really chose that girl, not me?â
âMe?â
I said in their language. It was my first time using the language, but I was able to speak fluently because I am a polyglot.
By the way, why is he saying that all of sudden?
âBaekhan! Be respectful to Her Highness!â
Eunhan said in embarrassment. However, a white light was already lit up in the hands of Baekhan.
âIâm the only one who can serve you. No other people is acceptable.â
âWait a minute. IâŠâ
Before I could explain, the white light from his hand flew towards me. I closed my eyes reflexively. But nothing happened.
I opened my eyes carefully.
Baekhan fell on the floor. Eunhan, who was next to him, ran straight to me.
âYour Highness, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?â
âOh, Iâm fine. But that personâŠâ
âHe will wake up in a few moments. Donât worry.â
âIâll bring him back home for now.â
Eunhan usually stays in the palace, but he owns a house outside the palace. He didnât buy a mansion, but he said he lived in Collinâs house with him.
âOkay.â
When I nodded, Eunhan disappeared with Baekhan.
***
Eunhan did not visit the palace for more than three days.
Eunhan said to Tenstheon that his younger brother came, so he was given a vacation after a long time.
Collin, who was staying with Baekhan, looked unexpectedly happy.
âHeâs very cute. Of course, his cuteness didnât reach the Crown Princeâs cuteness.â
He knew of Blakeâs cuteness. Even though Baekhanâs appearance is outstanding, it is incomparable to my husband. Because Blakeâs is the cutest in the world.
âHeâs a man, isnât he?â
âMaybeâ
âWhat do you mean by maybe? Havenât you been together for a few days?â
âWell, I donât know because he has been avoiding me so much.â
âAvoiding?â
âYes, but given his attitude, he must be a man.â
He made a vague remark.
ââŠdid Eunhan abuse his brother?â
âHaha. I donât know how the Chang culture is. But I donât know, brothers are usually rough with each other.â
Collin didnât really deny it. However, I couldnât imagine Eunhan, who was courteous and nice, abusing his younger brother.
Iâm sure itâs an exaggerated joke, given that Collin said it playfully.
Anyway, Eunhan and Baekhan seemed to be getting along well. Like Baekhan said, I donât think heâs trying to hurt him.
I went back to the Crown Princeâs palace.
âAncia!â
Upon arriving at the palace, Blake came running with a bright smile.
âYour Highness, Iâm here.â
ââŠ.Yes.â
ââŠ.Your Highness?â
He narrows his eyes and pouts his lips. Heâs blatantly upset.
âBlake.â
âWhat.â
âIâm here.â
As soon as I called his name, he smile with satisfaction and laughed.
âI miss you.â
âItâs been less than an hour since I left the palace.â
âIâve been waiting for you for an hour.â
âReally?â
âPlease talk casually to me.â
âItâs still awkwardâŠâ
âThen Iâll wait a little longer.â
Blake grabbed my hand and put his hands on mine. His expression was calm, but his ears are flushed.
I was smiling at Blake, and I heard footsteps behind me.
When I turned my head, Eunhan stood there.
âYour Highness, long time no see.â
ââŠ.â
âI donât think weâre close enough for to say that.â
Blake held my hand tightly and spat out.
Heâs like that again. When will their relationship get better? But Eunhan, looked at us in a calm manner and said, âThatâs right,â as if he was not very open to Blakeâs cold attitude.
âI have something to tell you, Your Highness.â
Heâs trying to tell me about Baekhan. I nodded.
âOkay letâs go into the room.â
I was about to go to the room with Eunhan, but Blake held my hand tighter and wouldnât let go.
âBlakeâŠ?â
âYou have to come back quickly.â
âOkay.â
Only then did Blake let go.
***
âIâm so sorry about that day. I almost put you in danger.â
As soon as Eunhan entered the room, he bowed his head and apologized.
âNo, nothing happened. Are you all right?â
âYes.â
He nodded his head. But contrary to the answer, his face was very gaunt.
âMay I ask whatâs going on?â
ââŠâŠ.â
âYou donât have to say anything if itâs hard to say.â
ââŠâŠno.â
Eunhan was silent for a moment and said slowly.
âAs you know, Iâm the Prince of Chang. But that doesnât mean anything. The emperor slept with a lot of women. A woman of high status received the title of concubine, but a woman of humble status didnât get anything.â
The last emperor of the Zelcan Empire had numerous emperors and children. Eunhan had reacted rather furiously to this, and now I could see why. He is in that position.
âThere were over a hundred children, and even the courtesans couldnât memorize their names. But the emperor was proud of it.â
If the Asteric Empire was founded by the Goddess of Lightâs power, Chang was founded by the power of the dragon. Even some of the royal family were chosen by the dragon, they are called âYonginâ
Emperor Chang wanted to have as many yongin as possible in his generation and had over a hundred children. However, he didnât even know how many children there were, let alone their names.
It was a story that didnât come out in the original story.
âMy mother was originally a commoner. But, she was recognized for her strength and came to the capital. Then she caught the emperorâs eyes and took her. That was the beginning of the tragedy.â
Eunhanâs eyes flashed a moment of sorrow.
âThe emperor forgot my motherâs existence before I was born. Because of her origin, she stayed with the court ladies without receiving the concubine title. Then, she was recognized after giving birth to a son. She has also been given a small place in the corner of the Imperial Palace. It was old and shabby, but it was a beautiful place with a small garden next to it.â
âThe place must be full of flower scent.â
âYes, itâs always been full of flower scents. I was happy when I was young. I got along well with Baekhan.
He got along well with Baekhan? Baekhan seemed to be Blakeâs age at best. Eunhan must be much older than him. I was curious about the age of Baekhan, but Eunhanâs expression changed dramatically.
âThen one day, I was chosen by a dragon. It was the black dragon, a sign of ominousness and was prophesied to destroy the country.â
Eunhanâs mother is said to have learned about this and hid it thoroughly. Of course Eunhan did too. If it gets known, he wonât be able to guarantee his life.
