27.Sincerely

As soon as Yoohyeon looked back, Yoohyeon quickly closed his eyes and turned back at the dizzying sight that unfolded.

“Hmmm..This looks like a very inappropriate outfit for a princess of a country..”

Rebecca laughed at Yoohyeon’s innocent behavior.

“You stare at me even more than before, isn’t that what you’re doing now?”

Yoohyeon, who was speechless at the words that hit Rebecca’s bones, cleared her throat.

“It’s big… But it doesn’t look appropriate to talk in that outfit. Besides, a grown woman.”

“But, I usually wear this when I sleep, but isn’t it Yoohyeon-nim who visited me late at night? That’s secretly?”

Rebecca said to Yoohyeon, who had nothing to say again at the right words.

“Look at Jeong, then I’ll cover you with the blanket. Is that okay then?”

While saying that, Yoohyeon finally let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Rebecca wrapped in a blanket, and finally looked at Rebecca.

“It’s ridiculous to say it now, but I’m sorry I came so late. It’s my negligence.”

Rebecca nodded her head at Yoohyeon’s apology.

“If you’re really sorry, could you do one favor for me?”

“Please? Say something. I will listen to you if you can.”

Rebecca let out a sigh of relief at Yoohyeon’s willingness to allow it and asked cautiously.

“I won’t go so far as to ask you to take responsibility since you’ve taken care of my body. Could you protect me for a while instead?”

As soon as Rebecca asked me to take care of herself, I saw Yoohyeon showing a puzzled look and naturally offered an alternative that I thought was the next best thing.

“Are you asking me to escort you? There’s nothing difficult, but where are you going?”

When Yoohyeon asked, thinking that she was traveling around many places as a princess, Rebecca shook her head and said,

“No…Actually, I think I’m in a bit of a dangerous situation right now.”

“Danger? What danger are you in?”

As Yoohyeon asked curiously, Rebecca explained what had happened so far.

“So your half brother, the prince, attempted to assassinate you? And even the emperor of this country is suspicious? Isn’t it wrong for me to receive a reward from the emperor?”

Yoohyeon frowned at the subject that made his head dizzy just by listening to it for a moment.

When he showed signs of refusal, Rebecca also said, her complexion darkening.

“Yes, I’m probably sure. Considering the history of the 1st prince… And I received the reward in advance, so please accept it.”

Rebecca gave the ring she was wearing to Yoohyeon.

“If you infuse magic into that ring and think of a person you want, it will transform into that ring. As long as the magic allows it, it doesn’t last long, so please use it wisely.”

Yoohyeon felt sorry for Rebecca, but on the other hand, she sighed and said as she felt uncomfortable getting involved in matters that had nothing to do with her.

“Haa…Then how much do you want me to escort you?”

At Yoohyeon’s words, Rebecca carefully asked Yoohyeon.

“Is it possible until I secure the evidence that the crown prince worked with heresy…?”

It was Yoohyeon who firmly shook his head at Rebecca’s words.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. I’m a man with a lot of work to do. A week at most, or tell me something else.”

“Can you please help me a little more? If the price is not enough, it’s not enough, but even my body…”

After Rebecca said that, she pulled down the blanket and approached Yoohyeon. Yoohyeon’s expression hardened.

“Don’t be like that. I’m not saying your body is unattractive, I personally just can’t tolerate a relationship like that.”

After Yoohyeon spat out words of rejection, she covered Rebecca with the blanket and said.

“Take care of your body more. From what I’ve seen, you’re just this low-value person, aren’t you?”

Rebecca, who bowed her head at Yoohyeon’s refusal and was silent for a long time, raised her head and tried to smile.

“I’m sorry. Yoohyeon-nim, I must have thought too much of myself… I didn’t even think about Yoohyeon-nim’s circumstances.”

Yoohyeon’s expression hardened at Rebecca’s brighter appearance, as if she had put something down, but Rebecca didn’t notice and continued talking.

“Then could you sneak in one more time tomorrow morning? I’ll show you the face of my original escort driver! I’ll take good care of you for a week.”

Rebecca, who brightened up as if she had been depressed before, said goodbye to Yoohyeon, and Yoohyeon, who seemed to be pushed out of the door of Rebecca’s room, leaned forward to her visit and was lost in thought.

“Haa…Damn it.”

I don’t know how, I’ve been through countless battlefields, and I’ve seen a lot of people who look like that every time.

Rebecca’s face was also showing the tired and exhausted look of those who eventually gave up on everything.

Yoo-hyeon was called the first person in the world and was even revered as a god, but he was a Yoo-hyeon who had many experiences of the precious people around him disappearing.

-Yoo Hyeon-ah. My precious disciple.

– Young master. Thank you so much.

I was Yoohyeon, who became stronger in order not to have to experience losing a precious person again, and now I am stronger than anyone else, but I still understand in my head that not everyone can be happy.

But why does Rebecca’s last face come to mind? I decided not to get involved in anything that had nothing to do with me.

At last, Yoohyeon let out a sigh at Rebecca’s sobs faintly audible from inside.

Rebecca was weeping as her gown wrapped around her shivering body in the cold wind.

“Yeah… He wasn’t the right person for someone like me anyway.”

It was late, but I was happy when Yoohyeon did not forget to visit me.

And when I saw the changing scene,

I have adapted to the fact that people usually stare at my body in an insidious way.

‘I’m ashamed..!’

But it was the first time my body had been shown to an outsider in such a defenseless way, so I felt ashamed.

But I felt oddly happy that he treated me like a child and was ashamed of me for being conscious of me as a member of the opposite s*x.

So I guess I was too optimistic.

Yoohyeon-nim is not someone who can be swayed by the likes of me…

Certainly, if I were the crown prince who killed all of my siblings from the same boat for the sake of his throne, then it would be natural for me to target him as well.

While blaming myself for staying quiet like an idiot, I felt complacent in a corner of my heart, wondering if the Yoohyeon I’d seen would protect me.

I was unbearably anxious that his proposal to protect me a little more confidently was turned down due to his mistake of looking at his body.

Still, I didn’t want to lose sight of you right in front of me, so I even tried to offer up the virginity I’ve kept my whole life.

However, the way he covered me with the blanket again and said.

Your eyes talking carefully while looking at me.

It was so brilliant. Like the warm but unapproachable sun.

I know that you are the only one who can’t be locked up in a cage, so I tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, but it seems like it can’t be helped that my heart hurts.

I heard his voice that I had been wanting to hear so much as I was closing my gown, feeling a colder sensation than ever, perhaps because of the wind that came in as he left.

“If you are crying so sadly, how can I go?”

When I turned around at his voice, Yoohyeon was looking at me with a warm smile.

“Youhyeon…”

I painfully realized that not everyone could be happy in the end in the previous world, and now I made up my mind to protect only my people.

I wanted to become stronger because I didn’t want to lose someone important to me, and since I was already strong, I knew that I would leave before myself anyway, so I couldn’t make someone precious.

For that reason, I put the fence in my heart as high as possible and pushed away those who approached me, but it seems that child has penetrated my heart before I knew it.

Of course I am not an idiot, but I am not ignorant of the hearts of those who like me.

I tried to avoid it because I knew it would be sad someday, but seeing her sad face somehow hurts my heart.

Her sobs beyond her door remind me of her memories of the not-so-long few days with her, and her footsteps do not let go.

“I guess this is destiny after all. Even if you avoid it, you can’t avoid it..”

Now, running away from this moment, if my heart hurts, isn’t there a reason to keep my promise?

‘If I regret not taking action, I will live on with the memories of the past as bandages, even if it hurts later.’

It was the moment when a transcendentalist, who had been silent and disingenuous about his feelings for decades, became honest with his feelings and took action for the first time.

Carefully opened the door and approached.

Looking out the window far away, I see you adjusting your collar.

How could such a small child shake my heart? She said while stroking her hair, feeling strange from the first time she saw her.

“If you are crying so sadly, how can I go?”

Then she, who had been holding her breath, looked back at me.

“Youhyeon…”

The fact that I didn’t reject you who came to me so slowly will make me remember it as the best choice I’ve ever made in my life when I look back.
