75 – to the empire

* * * *

Even if you just brush your collar, it’s a relationship from a previous life.

What it means is a proverb saying that even a relationship with a person who seems like a fleeting moment should not be neglected, but it is also a proverb whose meaning has faded since the video about what the collar was spread on You Tube.

In fact, the collar in Hanbok, the clothing of the Joseon Dynasty, when this proverb was spoken of by people, meant the neckline.

It was an explanation that in order for that neckline to brush, at least a hug was needed.

The majority of people react to this… Well, it’s obvious like fire. This is the beginning of ‘anishing’, which is unique to Koreans.

-No, it’s good enough to hug you on the road, damn it.

– These days, if you do that, you will be reported for sexual harassment.

– Maybe it’s because of the Joseon Dynasty, the concept of chastity… uh? Why do you think the Joseon Dynasty was more promiscuous? Mom, my hair is weird. I think I’ve been altered. Hehe.

– Hahahaha If I give a hug to a girl I don’t know on the street, will it become a relationship?

– Above that I am currently being interrogated for sexual harassment at the police station. please write down

The fact that it was different from what he thought, ‘That’s definitely a relationship.’ numerous comments.

But I rather took it differently. It was a completely different feeling to me, who was stuck in the corner of the room and couldn’t make eye contact or even talk with people properly.

Even if you just brush your collar, it’s a relationship.

In other words, I might say it like this.

You can meet the ties of the previous life again just by brushing the collar.

The reason I thought this way was the fact that the lines spoken by the narration of the science documentary I watched the day before existed in my mind.

The probability of this universe being born.

The probability that a planet called Earth will be born in this vast universe.

And the probability that you, or me, will be born on this earth.

Multiplying all of these, the probability of you being born can be defined as:

Just one word.

Call it a ‘miracle’.

So cherish the you who were born with that miraculous chance.

Cherish the bonds and the people you have been able to meet through such a miracle.

So that the world can embrace you as a miracle as you greeted the world with a miracle.

… Now that I think about it, there is a feeling that it started as a documentary and ended as a public service announcement giving lessons.

‘Well, that doesn’t matter anymore.’

The important thing is that the proverb was taken to mean that the unlikely miracle of being reunited with a person from a previous life could be performed with just one touch of the collar.

So Lily, noticing the shadow of worry on my face, gently grabbed my hand.

Feeling the warm body temperature in the cool sky wind, I turned my head to Lily, who had been constantly looking at the secret garden we had left.

“bean.”

It was only Korean, but it was clear what Lily was trying to convey to me.

If you have any concerns, look at them to share them.

There was no reason to hide it, and there was no need to worry about it, so I confessed the meaningless weight.

“I was wondering if what I chose was really the best.”

“…that little princess?”

“yes.”

Another woman in front of Lily for the first time… No, even if you say it’s a woman. Isn’t it strange to call a little child who looks like 4-5 years old a girl?

In any case, since he had never agonized over his worries about others in front of Lily, of course it was also the first time he had confessed this.

“But that’s the only way for the princess to be happy.”

“As far as I know, it is.”

Lily’s expression changed subtly and she began to crumple her fruity lips.

It seemed that he didn’t like the way I tried to step into the labyrinth of troubles with no exit.

But I also had my own excuses.

Except for Lily, I was the first person in this world to help out because I thought I wanted to help myself.

The reason was that he felt a strong sense of identification with Evangeline’s background, just as he felt a sense of liking for Lily.

In the case of Lily, I was very impressed by her way of not giving up and moving forward, and in the case of Evangeline, the problem was that she was too young and had a kind heart.

… Although the overlap of the things I experienced when I was young helped a lot.

‘But that’s true, what kind of ups and downs do you have to go through to become such a tomboyish and arrogant kid… ah.’

Lily, who had a pouty expression about to explode in my field of vision, smiled bitterly at the first glance.

Come to think of it, it was because I had forgotten that my lover was the person whose personality was influenced the most by the person next to me.

Crawfish is convenient. Are they getting together?

Me, Lily, and Evangeline.

All of them are people who had an unhappy childhood. One is also currently in progress.

Each of them took different actions to protect their own bitter scars, but the essence was the same.

I, too, who chose avoidance by hiding in the corner of the room in order not to suffer any more.

Lily, who had no side other than her parents, became a girl who tried to assimilate with her surroundings and receive affection.

Lastly, Evangeline, who had to act as a worthy successor under the burden of being a child without even being able to smoke once.

There was only one thing each of the three different people longed for from the bottom of their hearts.

Someone who truly cares for me and loves me.

Lily and I have found a partner, but Evangeline hasn’t yet.

She will have to endure the pressure alone for years to come, and will have to play the heir while wearing a mask that doesn’t fit her size.

Until he was taken by a slave trader and rescued by Ian.

‘Coming to think of it this far, the original Evangeline looks somehow cute.’

Evangeline, immature, childish, clumsy, cheeky little boy.

The point of being rescued in the story is after Ian was called a hero, so no one can argue with Ian’s words that he will protect himself, so he is the only heir to be able to travel with Ian.

Could it be that she was unleashing all of the emotions she had endured for her parents until then to Ian and Selina?

Isn’t the fact that he shows a cheeky appearance to people other than Ian and Selina, also because he has digested the habit of a child who starts crying when he sees anyone other than his parents, suitable for his age?

I could feel that my perception of her was slowly changing after meeting the present Evangeline, whom I had not known because I had only seen that cheeky figure.

And it was these reasons that put my eyes on the garden, which had gone out of sight.

“We’ve already left the road. Bean, I’m not ignorant of that feeling, but don’t get too caught up in the assumption of what if. Because if is like a vermin that eats itself.”

“…I see.”

“You were the one who said that you wanted to avoid the unexpected twist of fate and an irreversible danger. You made the right choice.”

That was what Lily said to me as soon as she boarded the perforation ship.

If it bothers you so much, why don’t you just help me?

To that, I replied that I couldn’t do that because I couldn’t fully take care of Evangeline, and thinking about what would happen in the future would make me just work and run away.

The fact that I, the only one who can twist fate, give advice myself is quite a precarious situation.

But did they say that when the human heart receives a 1, it wants a 3?

At the time, I was satisfied with it to some extent and was able to move forward, but it is true that I felt very confused when I put the perforation line in front of my eyes.

Maybe we should have had some tea together… do.

“I get the feeling that Bean is a person like a dragon’s egg.”

“Yes? Why is the dragon suddenly here…”

“The outside is very hard, the guard looks very strong, and it seems difficult to get close to, but should I say that the inside is very soft?

“…”

What does it mean to be an introverted person?

It is true that he himself was aware of some of his weaknesses as well.

That’s why I licked my lips and turned my head.

In response to my reaction, Lily poked her cheek and said,

“World Tree, you said you would solve the problem? With the ‘justification’ that it would bring good results in many ways.”

“yes.”

“My fiancée is greedy~ Are you complaining about not being able to perfectly guide the life of a baby princess because it’s not enough that some human in the world saved the World Tree by herself?”

I didn’t have anything to say even if I listened, so I just silently inflated the cheek Lily was poking at and flicked my fingers.

With a bit of rebellion in mind.

Then, Lily’s sighs poke me instead of fingers.

“A fiancé who thinks of a princess from another country while leaving the fiancé right next to him… isn’t that too much?”

“Yes? Oh, no, that’s…”

Lily’s sinister smile appeared as she hurriedly turned her head away in embarrassment.

By the time I realized I had fallen into a trap, it was already too late.

Lily’s palm gripped my face and fixed her gaze on herself.

“It’s not jealousy, because I know your feelings aren’t like that. It’s just my own advice to the empty you. You’re not really omniscient. But why are you so eager to take care of this and that? Now the problem lies in front of your eyes. We have to work through it step by step.”

“The…problem right in front of you?”

As I tilted my head, Lily gave me a chin, looking back.

When I turn my head, I see the scenery of the empire that I didn’t even notice when I arrived.

“Aren’t you curious about how Obama will react when he sees you?”

“ah.”

Then I saw that there was

It wasn’t time to get confused about not having a cup of tea with Evangeline.

Now I had a bigger problem in front of my eyes.

Right now, he had to reunite with that foolish emperor. As well as being her daughter’s lover.
