Episode 175
Episode 67. Sweetheart “Yuma hyung! It’s easier to go to the east with me!”
Ballinan clung to Yuma almost like an obedient puppy. An invisible tail seemed to wag on his hip.
Puang and Cindy were now accustomed to the humiliating behavior of the noble prince.
However, Cindy was unsure of how to report Ballinan’s actions to the head of the Imperial Household Agency.
“Hmm good. Let me take you.”
That’s how the party to the east was all decided.
Barlinan hugged Yuma once, saying he would prepare the items he needed right away, and ran to the Povian family’s mansion.
Of course, I had no plans to leave immediately. As I didn’t know if it would be a short trip or a long trip, I needed time to say hello to people.
Yuma expected about two years, including the time to travel to and from the eastern expedition.
Learning the decisive battle from Lagatino Rollmandi was a secondary issue, and the most important was killing Amanzo.
Perhaps Amanjo was the root cause of the dragon horse war. Yuma has been thinking about that often lately.
God’s power comes from faith. Except for Hwa, the influence of the power increases depending on how many people believe in it.
Therefore, it was clear that the longer Amanzo spent growing in power in the East, the greater his authority would be.
Because he too is a being classified as a god.
killing god.
Yuma didn’t know if this was really possible.
However, he had already fought once before, and Yuma was not defeated.
A deep-rooted hatred of demons.
That was the driving force behind pushing the sword towards the transcendent being called the Demon God of Yuma.
‘Let’s see who grows stronger, faster, bigger, and more confidently in the East.
There was no plan to confront Amanjo with only blood and blood. There was no guarantee that a mysterious wizard would appear and help him when he was in danger.
A new force is needed. Yuma judged that Kyle’s allies were not enough to face the upcoming threat.
Defeat Amanjo and cultivate a new force that can be used during the Dragon Horse War. Open your hands with stronger power.
That was the reason Yuma left for the east.
Natalie suppressed her distraught mind and looked at Yuma lying next to her.
This man seems to have accomplished enough already, so why should he go to the land far to the east?
It was a thought that had been messing with Natalie’s head for the past month. Never in my life have I cared so much about someone’s choices.
When I was a child wandering around the back alleys of Haseo-guk, when I survived all sorts of strife within the organization, and when I had to fight for the match.
Natalie had no memory of being swayed by the judgment of others. He just chose what he could and couldn’t do and properly distributed his hands.
But now I couldn’t.
Natalie’s world was no longer based on Natalie herself, but on Yuma. The key to the ship of life is completely taken away.
“Whoa…
That said, I couldn’t leave the rose society and follow it all the way to the east. It was not a story that Hoeju would be away at a time when the basis for a new rose meeting had to be laid.
Besides, it had to be Natalie herself to take care of Dawn.
Considering the number of lives saved by the Dun brothers as children, he couldn’t entrust it to anyone else.
Every day, Natalie went to the Zach family’s intensive care unit and was feeding Dunn rice and porridge.
‘What am I thinking about right now?’
I know very well how childish the feeling of love is.
A few months at the shortest, a year at the longest. Why was my heart so frustrated just because I couldn’t meet Yuma during that time?
In the world, he wasn’t the only one who went through such a brief breakup. Looking at the women who send their husbands and sons to the battlefield right away, they themselves are very lucky.
Natalie buried her face in her lap and closed her eyes. Before I knew it, several hours had passed, and the curtains that blocked out the moonlight were turning purple.
‘No, that’s not it. What’s so dizzying about it…
Natalie was finally able to find out why she was suffering so much.
no i couldn’t admit it
she doesn’t like it
The fact that one day Yuma will marry someone other than herself.
He was a man with huge ambitions that was incomparable to rose wine and became a nobleman.
arranged marriage.
It was the surest means of expanding power that even those of noble blood would go through, even if they were not nobles but the imperial family.
Although they are now like lovers, if Yuma marries a nobleman, she will become his mistress.
The person who will marry Yuma will most likely be Catherine or Hella.
Especially Catherine.
Since Kyle’s empress tacitly married a member of the 3rd family, it was the rule of the empire, so it seemed that Yuma would probably marry Catherine. Duran Jacques is in an atmosphere of anticipation.
Wasn’t Catherine with Yuma on this trip to the east?…
The tip of her nose became hot.
He thought that if Yuma left, whether through an arranged marriage or for some other reason, he would be able to let go.
A lowly girl from a backstreet gangster in a small country shouldn’t block the path of a man who became a dragon of the empire. Because Yuma has to climb to a higher place. Because he loves Yuma.
A life in which I trample on anyone who harms me, use my friends if necessary, pursue profit rather than benevolence, and sometimes stab my loved ones in the back.
That was the life of ‘well-powered people’ in Natalie’s opinion.
Natalie wanted to be that person ever since her parents sold her out.
The Villain of Haseo. A dark title that compressed his past life.
By the time I became the head of the Rose House, I had thought that I had become a person close to such a powerful person to some extent.
But now Natalie realized that she had been fooling herself so well that she couldn’t really be that great of a person.
She never had the confidence to stick a knife in Yuma’s back under any circumstances.
It was unfair and resentful. Yuma didn’t care about that and just slept well next to him.
“Ah…
what am I to Yuma?
Once I felt soft and weak, my vision suddenly blurred and tears flowed uncontrollably.
There was no way to know where the hell so many tears were leaking from.
She cried, barely holding her breath so that Yuma wouldn’t wake up.
I didn’t want to put a burden on my heart by showing this to that bad guy.
Or, I didn’t want to be seen as a weak human being who was struggling with not seeing for a while. As a teammate, he had to be strong to remain by Yuma’s side.
“why.”
Natalie turned her head towards Yuma, startled. Then Yuma hurriedly turned around so that he couldn’t see this.
However, while the hem of the blanket she was holding was wet with tears, Yuma was speechless.
Just when Natalie assumed that Yuma was talking in her sleep or that she had heard it wrong, she heard Yuma’s voice again.
“Why are you crying, Natalie?”
Natalie didn’t answer, trying to keep her eyes wide open, clutching at the hem of the blanket. It was difficult to breathe as if someone had grabbed my heart. It felt like my heart was about to burst at any moment.
Seruk.
When Yuma stood up, the sound of the blanket being pushed was heard. Natalie couldn’t say anything.
“No, I don’t think it matters why you cry.”
Yuma’s hand wrapped around his neck strongly and gently. Yuma felt the water on Natalie’s cheek and hugged her from behind.
Big and small scars on Natalie’s back touched Yuma’s chest and stomach.
It was a scar she had never been ashamed of, but Natalie felt ashamed of the scar touching Yuma’s body.
Two heartbeats that can only be heard in the world of two people who are in close contact with each other interlock and overlap.
Yuma gently hugged Natalie until the hurried and complicated sound calmed down.
Natalie was able to pull herself together and stop the tears. I was so pathetic that I couldn’t help but laugh.
Natalie, you acted like the main character in a love story. Even though I am a human who is more familiar with the smell of blood than the salty taste of tears.
Natalie said that to herself.
“If it’s okay, tell me too. Why are you so sad?”
“I didn’t cry.”
“I didn’t even ask why you cried. I asked why you were sad.”
“I’m not even sad.”
“Then I will ask the question again. Why can’t you sleep?”
“I was about to go to sleep.”
“hmm. okay. Then I’ll talk to you, Natalie.”
“What?”
“The only thing I will love for the rest of my life is you.”
Tears that had barely calmed down came pouring out again. Natalie turned her head and glared at Yuma.
“you. will you marry me?”
“of course.”
“You are a noble of the empire. I’m a commoner The moment you marry me, Baron Drake is a loss. That too is a huge loss. And I said, “You lived a bloody and vibrating life, you could kill people casually, and you were the ruler of the underworld. There is no such thing as a clean past. Right?”
“okay. They look ugly on such a subject and are trying to grab your ankles.”
“I like that the most.”
“what?”
“They say I like the most when you get ugly and grab my ankle. So stop crying.”
“A madman!”
“It’s okay if it gets worse. And I’m not that great either.”
I was a coward, a eunuch who only watched my past life fall apart, and a person who happens to get a new life and profit from the memories, knowledge and talents of that time.
Actually, I enjoy watching myself succeed more than preparing for the Dragon Horse War.
After experiencing time reversal, I became a completely different person from the eunuch Yuma.
The fact that I go to the east to fight Amanzo, the demon, is actually more because I am curious about how strong I can become.
I see now that I am the embodiment of the lust for power. When I was a eunuch, I thought I was honest, but I wasn’t.
I want to put both the West and the East under my feet. I want to rise to the top of the world.
A selfish old eunuch. That’s what I look like. I’m not actually eighteen.
Someday I want to tell you this story. Natalie as much as you. I hope you know all about me someday.
But that’s not the case now. Maybe I won’t be able to confess forever.
Yuma swallowed those words and met Natalie’s eyes.
“okay?”
“What what? Are you saying you’re not a good person?”
Natalie was in a hurry to avoid Yuma’s eyes, her face flushed red.

“You really are a weirdo…. Eup!”
Yuma decided to set aside all of his schedule for today and spend the whole day lying in bed with Natalie.
When I think about it, since I have been working all this time to prepare for the future, I wondered if it would be okay to put all my energy into dating for a day or so.
When night fell again, Yuma spoke to Natalie, who was lying exhausted. She lay on her face, barely breathing.
“Let’s go together, East. Leave the rose society to Chen and Dan.”
Natalie didn’t even have the strength left to answer.
