As the military salute sounded into the sky, a middle-aged man in a dark blue Korean military uniform walked towards the auditorium with steady steps, William VII, who was dressed in a ceremonial dress at the highest point, looked solemn, and the nobles who watched the ceremony around bowed their heads to greet the people in front of them.

The red carpet was spread from the main hall to the palace gate, and Rey walked forward step by step, just today he will be crowned Duke of Eton, from a commoner to the point where he is now, the Governor of the Seven Seas is famous for his benevolence and fraternity and the use of soldiers like a god in the empire, but on such a solemn occasion Rey couldn't help but lose his mind, how his lover felt when he was crowned an earl many years ago, joy and pride or wandering like himself.

The memories of the past were too short, and he couldn't help but turn them out and chew them over and over again, just so as not to forget that lover in the depths of time. Rey still remembers the first time he met Jin, after the confrontation with Daniel, he was separated from everyone because of his negligence, and after being seriously injured, he stumbled and fled to an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city, and slept on the cold stone slab, at that time he really thought he was going to die, the first day, he told himself that he was going to take back the Patilos Islands that he had been informed by his father, but when the wound became infected and the fever almost took away his senses, in a blur he prayed like heaven as long as he could live, Even if the power of the past is reduced to ashes.

Then after that he felt someone reach out and land on his hot forehead with a faint cold fragrance, and his cold body was wrapped in a warm coat, and at that moment in his blurred vision he only remembered a pair of black eyes, full of worry and concern, and deep love, just like the people who used to surround him.

Later, when he woke up, he didn't know why the man concluded that he had amnesia, and told him that they were lovers and partners, and at that moment he only felt funny, and thought to himself that no matter what, let's see what tricks the person in front of him is playing!

Looking back now, the days of recuperation were the happiest days of my life. They spent their days reading books, playing chess, dealing with things in the castle, and tasting the pastries he had people make...... The man was very kind to him, whether it was food, clothing, shelter, transportation, or other things, and even paved the way for himself over the years, but he never told him.

At that time, he even thought that after unifying the Patilos Islands, he would definitely return to this person and accompany him for the rest of his life!

However, all the qiē came to an abrupt end that night!

He remembered that when he heard the truth from Elizabeth's mouth, at that moment anger burned all his senses, he forgot how the person in front of him was kind to him, how he arranged for himself to enter the knights, entered the command group, and even introduced himself in front of His Majesty, forgot how that person took care of himself when he was sick, and how he tried to let himself go first in the face of the tiger, living and dying together in the past, he thought it was a sentence that he had left in front of him, but that person always put himself in front of him- But at that moment, his strong self-esteem made him like a wounded beast, and he didn't even want to believe his own kind.

He remembered how the man prayed to himself with a humble look in the cold wind, and he said, "Rey...... Can we talk? ”

It was the first and last time he called himself by his real name, and he could even trace the man's expression, bit by bit, it turned out that he had put that person in his heart in his anger.

However, what he repaid him was abuse and sarcasm, when Daniel appeared, reason no longer existed, what kind of motivation did the person behind him have in the past, what kind of hatred he has now, it is really a good calculation and good intentions, but he is ridiculous that he is arrogant for half his life and actually fell into the palm of his hand, and then he is labeled a traitor, he knows that he is afraid that he will never go back.

The battle with Daniel has been a long-standing feud, and at that moment he actually didn't care too much about anything else, because Daniel has a good personality, and Rey believes in the swordsmanship in his hands, but he ignored Siegel's warning before, and there are other survivors besides Daniel who arrived here.

When he heard Jin shouting "be careful", he sneered in his heart, thinking that he was planning to kill himself through a duel, so when that person pounced, he took a sword in his hand, and shot as decisive and ruthless as ever without the slightest hesitation, since it is destined to be a life-and-death situation, then he naturally wants to be the one who lives!

The blade pierced the body, and he took the man into his arms, only to find that the three daggers with dark blue colors were inserted in his chest, and all the qi qi qi was just his own imagination, he saw that the eyes that were full of concern and love in the past seemed to be extinguished at this moment, and only ashes remained, and the man tried hard to push himself away, he said, "...... I don't owe you anything......"

At that moment, he knew that he had shattered a possibility of recovery with his own hands, and that person's blood stained the snow-white white fox fur red, soaked little by little, and could no longer be washed away.

Just holding the boy in his arms, the person in his arms in the moonlight is as thin as paper, haggard and thin so thin that he doesn't want to be a soldier at all, how can this be?

How so!

Obviously they love each other like this, obviously he has thought about taking Jin to travel all over the world in the future, they will go out on every warm spring day, hunt in the dense forest to escape the heat in every hot summer, share the fruits of the territory on every cool autumn day, and gather around the fire in every cold winter, drink fine wine and read beautiful winter days until their gray hair is gray...... The next moment as if crazy, he wrapped Jin in his arms hard, it seems that this way can warm up the people who are gradually getting cold in his arms, how long, as if for a moment and like a lifetime, when the waning moon falls from the west, the people around him are all imprisoned, he holds the body of his lover who is completely cold in his arms, and looks up blankly at the person who is standing in front of him and wants to snatch Jin away, at that moment leads to the newborn sunrise, the roses bloom one by one, and then instantly wither in the surprised eyes of everyone, One by one, the petals fell directly from the branches to the ground, like a grand funeral!

For a long time after that, Rey couldn't believe that the man was gone, until he entered the command regiment, until he led the expedition and saw off the other people, but there was no one among them, and at that time he finally believed that the original person was really gone.

Since then, he has rarely returned to land for more than a decade, except that every late autumn, on the day of the man's death, he travels alone to Rose Island to pay respects to his lover who will never wake up.

It was only on that day that he would be allowed to set foot on Rose Island, and for so many years, the nobles and nobles in the imperial capital knew that this was the governor of the Seven Seas, and now the powerful Duke of Eton and the Duke of Rose never wanted to make peace, and any decree as long as the former was in favor of the latter would inevitably be opposed, and the emperor had persuaded him many times but still to no avail.

How can it be reconciled? He is the younger brother of Siegel in the palm of his hand, but because he was seriously injured and because he died, how can he not be resentful, as the man said, if he didn't meet him, he was afraid that he would still be the high governor of the Seven Seas, Count Lotus.
