Nothing could erase the surprised look on King Guan's face when he heard what his son said. The king's throat choked at the words of his own son.
Cursed?
Why doesn't he know about it himself? No, he must have heard wrong, this son couldn't possibly be cursed like that, let alone die. After all, the next leader of this kingdom should be Axeryeo, not someone else. Even though there would be another new child later, he had already imagined that the Leonword kingdom would be ruled splendidly by Axeryeo with all his intelligence.
The hand gripped the arms of the young man who was not afraid to fight his father. The look in Axeryeo's eyes actually symbolizes deep disappointment and also a form of his reluctance to defend his father's mistakes. King Guan exclaimed loudly, "DON'T KICK UP! YOU MUST inherit THAT, I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER CHILDREN! GOD SAYS THAT TRULY GLORY IS IN THE HANDS OF THE FIRST KING AXERYEO. OUR KINGDOM WILL BE MORE WORKING, AXER!
Axeryeo shook his head, "God is not wrong, King, but God said like that after the curse was given to me. I'm sorry, Venerable Guan, I also feel unworthy to be the king of a kingdom that doesn't know humanity and only has greed in it. Now, it's better if I just wait for the time of my death. It's more fun to wait for a god to finally free me from the burdens and suffering that I've been hiding. If after this His Majesty is going to war, I won't want to get my hands dirty by killing people. innocent and become a victim of your selfishness, "said Axeryeo did not tremble at all against the highest person in his kingdom.
Then, her legs stepped back after Princess Ryusin and took off her long robe that she had been wearing earlier to cover the body that had been struggling with embarrassment. Now, Axeryeo just stares with the same shame and guilt as the incident that he didn't expect at all. He took the princess away from there, though half dragging because it was impossible to keep him in the place of the sinners any longer. It was no longer possible for her to let Princess Ryusin feel broken again and weep bitterly, thinking about the future crushed by that night.
With the horse he took, Axeryeo and Princess Ryusin went from there somewhere. Only the wind is the compass and the only direction, through the dark forest on a speeding horse. Meanwhile, King Guan's gaze did not escape. He was very angry, but it could not be denied that his heart was also happy because he knew the weakness of the enemy that he could not cooperate with.
The sun had fallen, the bright sky turned dark with clouds covering the stars that night. Everything changed, when one of the servants loyal to the princess found out about the shocking thing and reported it to the king. Seeing his daughter desecrated by the kingdom he rejected, he turned red and declared war. It didn't matter, his mind was in a whirlwind, let alone Princess Ryusin being taken away by Prince Axeryeo. It was no longer a matter of self-esteem, the people who were also angry agreed to declare war on the great empire.
The sound of war was immediately approved by King Guan himself, he even believed that he could defeat the Shiewook Kingdom easily. It's true that Prince Axeryeo said, arrogance will change everything, even King Guan is sure that Axeryeo is just joking and will return to the kingdom to become king.
Curse? Huh, King Guan only knows that God often plays with his life and doesn't believe in curses. In fact, he did not know that the current God was furious with him. Like the king of the Shiewook Kingdom. Desecrating an innocent daughter, even still happy above the suffering is a big sin that will not be forgiven forever. The god cursed that every descendant of Leonword would suffer, so the King of Shiewook would determine what kind of suffering it was. Because it only casts a curse after the curse is clearly said.
After a long time in formulating their respective strategies to win and determine a suitable war place, a few months later, the big war really happened so terrible. In the war of revenge and proof of arrogance, thousands of great Shiewook warriors died, even the people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the princess died, all of them became a sea of thick blood in a matter of the blink of an eye. Some were stabbed to death, some died with their necks cut off from their bodies, some were trampled by elephants. All were completely brutally turned off. The amount which is quite contrasting looks like it wants to prove that the small kingdom should not refuse the request of the be kingdom sar.
Even witches die, they are killed in underhanded ways and ruses that were never imagined before. Being poisoned in the dinner before the great peak where they were willing to activate the main crystal to win the war brought that truth.
The last remnant, the king of the Shiewook Kingdom was at death's door with the tip of King Guan's sword on the left chest and ready to pierce it at any time. Even for a second the hand could press downwards and fresh blood could flow, but King Guan wanted to hear about defeat.
"Just admit that your kingdom lost, and immediately join mine so that your people prosper. I can guarantee that the children and women there will become the wives of the nobles of the Leonword region," said King Guan.
"Tch, dream! Until whenever, my kingdom will never give up to a useless leader like you. I chose my kingdom to sink instead of joining Leonword. You said you would vouch for the women? Don't you remember what you did to my daughter? I won't be willing, no. would at all," said the king with a thinning consciousness after being stabbed repeatedly in the stomach.
"Oh, so do I need to make your daughter die too? Now she will definitely not be favored by any prince because she is impure anymore. Even her own fiancé," said King Guan laughing out loud. "Surely she will become a Gisae‐--"
"KING OF GUAN! ENOUGH!"
"Hahahaha, you're yelling at me? Go ahead. Soon it's a fact of the world that your daughter won't be able to live much longer."
“In the name of the Great God, I curse your kingdom and all of Leonword's descendants!” Just when he said that a curse was coming, the sky turned cloudy and the entire sky let out a mighty roar. The darkness already dominates the sky, the soldiers who are in a sword fight with the rest of the soldiers from the Shiewook Kingdom stop their sword fighting. "You have tarnished a precious woman from us, you are too proud of your kingdom, you are selfish and never want to accept defeat so I curse the Leonword kingdom and the entire territory it acquired. Every descendant of Leonword will always be male and male, female is just a thing. which is rare in this world. Everything turns upside down, and if Leonword and his descendants rule the earth then that is where the real calamity will be felt by your human race, indiscriminately. I, will protect the true descendants of Shiewook. Nothing will be able to touch my people. by your people. YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS!"
In that instant, King Guan's sword was drawn at the chest of his enemy, and he looked at the enemy who died instantly. The roar grew louder, he only knew that the war ended with his victory. The Shiewook kingdom ended too.
Suddenly, Axeryeo came along with Princess Ryusin. They arrived, and the daughter's chest tightened to see her father die in such a pathetic manner. Even the sword was stuck in his chest. He approached frantically and couldn't control his tears. It was shattered.
"Prince, you said that everything would be fine, didn't you? This is what you mean? The destruction of... my kingdom, my father, my people, and even my pride....," Princess Ryusin's throat was already choked, she lost her voice. "At this time, you don't need to help me anymore." Then he took the sword from his father's chest. King Guan was prepared with another sword if Princess Ryusin dared to mess with his son.
Unexpectedly, Princess Ryusin's sword drew towards his stomach and blood came out from both his stomach and mouth.
"Death ... it's better like this ... goodbye, Prince Axeryeo ... enjoy all the burdens on your shoulders as ... Ra-ja," Princess Ryusin's words said as his last words before his breath began to weaken and he fell.
The princess, who was no longer breathing, died tragically in front of the people who had helped her. It is better to die like this than to die with humiliation. He also could only hope that King Guan died even more pathetic than his father, died leaving a deep bitterness. Certainly, that girl also knew something would happen when the father's anger was already at its peak; that is curse. Princess Ryusin only accepts her father's curse on those who hurt her, she will not defend or ask God to lift the curse. He himself was very tired of King Guan's actions.
Axeryeo, who was shocked, looked very shocked and could not say anything else, he knelt in front of the two bodies that had begun to lie stiff. Crying for all the cruel acts committed by his father, which now looks far from him. In fact, making up for the mistakes his own father had made, he was even ready if he had to marry Princess Ryusin and leave Leonword to find peace in a distant place Rather than settling in that great land. He bowed in every stanza of repentance that in fact he had not done anything wrong. The bow was too long, holding back the sadness that filled the chest space.
BROK!
"AXERS!"
Axeryeo collapsed beside the princess, he slowly began to close his eyes limply. He had expected, it turns out that God listened to his prayers. King Guan jolted straight up to his son, confirming that Axeryeo was just fainting, but when he held the vein in Axeryeo's hand, it didn't feel like it at all.
The curse did happen, and Axeryeo died unexpectedly. King Guan clad in sadness then asked his soldiers to bring Axeryeo's body to be cremated in the kingdom. The news of their crown prince's death even spread quickly in the ears of the people.
The shocking fact that King Guan heard after Axeryeo's death was that during this time the man had not only studied science continuously but studied swordsmanship as well as a king with a warrior spirit. The prince was listed as the personal student of a former commander in chief of the war army, which meant that Axeryeo's abilities were unquestionable even though he had only been studying for the past few months.
"Because the sword I raise is the sword of righteousness, not for killing innocent enemies at all."
"How come, Axer...."
A few sentences written by Axeryeo slapped King Guan, but he couldn't help but feel deep regret. What else can we do? He had already received a curse from the enemy after knowing that the curse that his son received had happened before his own eyes.
If it is true that the world will be destroyed by it, it cannot change. Fate.. he will see if indeed the birth of the baby in the future will continue to be male from the Leonword nation, or maybe not all of them will be male.
