Chapter 51 The white dragon is moody (7)

TL:Zimming

Blakes curse has stayed the same for three years.

If I found out why, maybe I can lift that curse.

How can I make the layer thicker?

Why are you asking me that? You made it yourself.

I made it? What does that mean?

You mean I made a layer of light, and it didnt spread the curse?

If you want to know more, persuade my brother.

Baekhan suddenly turned away, spitting coldly. I caught him going out in a hurry.

Wait!

What is it?

Can you please let me know?

I asked earnestly. There is not much time left now.

I thought he opened his heart to Blake. Seeing Baekhan who likes Blake, I thought that he might tell me about the curse. But Baekhan was as cold as he was at the beginning.

Did you forget the deal?

Eunhan will never do so. You know that.

Its your job to persuade him.

You know how nice Blake is. He had a hard time because of the curse. All his life, hes been accused by people without fail, and he never had a day without pain. He suffered from the pain of a curse digging into his flesh. And theres nothing I can do about it. But youre different. Please let me know. Ill do whatever I can.

I begged him with my knees on the floor.

Youll do anything?

Yes.

Then will you even die on his behalf?

Yes.

I answered without a moment of hesitation. It was pure sincerity.

The moment I heard Baekhans question, I thought I could give my life for Blake.

Since when did I love him this much? I was surprised at the sincerity for him that I didnt even know.

Take my eyes or life or whatever, and release Blakes curse.

But Baekhan shook off my hands.

all I want is my brother. I dont have much time left. Ill save Blake, so hurry.

***

Why on earth was someone like you born!

Lord Meng, Baekhans mother was always drunk.

She gave birth to a child after receiving the emperors favor, but she didnt get the concubine title and stayed at an old and shabby pavilion in the corner of the palace.

Lord Meng often hit Baekhan, whether she was drunk or not, she commited violence.

But no one cared about him. The emperor has more than a hundred children. Hes not a child of a formal concubine and has not been chosen as a dragon. Such a child was worthless there.

When there was no one to stop her, Lord Meng became more violent.

At that time, Eunhan, who was living in a pavilion nearby, saved Baekhan. After that day, Baekhan often fled and went to Eunhans place to avoid his mother.

Eunhans mother was a commoner and she was often weak and ill. Even though they have difficult circumstances, it didnt stop them from helping Baekhan.

Baekhan regarded Eunhan as a family. He had more than a hundred half brothers, but Eunhan was the only one who felt like a real brother to him.

But the happiness didnt last long.

Eunhan was chosen by the Black Dragon, which is prophesied to destroy the country. Upon hearing the news of his execution, Baekhans heart seemed to be broken. Fortunately, Eunhan ran away.

When Eunhan disappeared, Baekhan, who was close to him, was questioned. But he wasnt afraid of being locked up in prison. He only wished for his safety.

Then, the white dragon chose him.

To sign a contract with white dragon, he had to pay wirh his body. He lose his sight, and his body stops growing. Baekhan was willing to receive the White Dragon even though he had to live as a child for the rest of his life.

White dragon is a creature that can search for anything. If he becomes this white dragon, he may find Eunhan. Even at the moment of signing a contract with the White Dragon, there was only Eunhan in his head.

His life changed overnight, but he couldnt see his brothers face. Despite that, he wasnt sad.

Brother Eunhan is alive.

He learned that Eunhan is not the ominous black dragon, but a heavenly dragon.

The country was thrown into frenzy when Baekhan revealed the fact.

There were many who wasnt happy with that fact. They threathen Baekhan, to stop his search on Eunhan and to made them the emperor instead.

Everyone approached Baekhan with a hidden motives. Baekhan could see their true intention, they were filled with lies and greed.

Threaths, pretension, manipulation, harassment, violence.

Baekhan endured the pain day by day.

And finally, he found Eunhan.

He is now a wonderful young man.

Brother, please save me from this prison.

Baekhan wanted to hold onto him and cry, but he couldnt.

The white dragon chose Eunhan as my master. Please become Changs emperor.

Eunhan brutally refused Eunhans request, soon, Baekhan realized that he couldnt change his brothers mind.

After much consideration, Baekhan chose Ancia.

Baekhan offered Ancia a deal.

The Asterics Crown Prince is cursed. With this, he can go back to Chang with his brother.

That was the only thought he had.

However, when he saw Ancia begging for help to lift the crown princes curse, his heart became heavy.

Baekhan, smell this flower.

Blake plucked the flowers and held them in his hands. Baekhan quickly smiled and smelled the flowers.

It smells good.

Right? The flowers are very pretty too.

Blake brought Baekhan to the greenhouse because he was depressed about yesterday.

How will this child acted when he finds out that Im an evil man who threatens his wife?

The flowers looks pretty like you.

No.

Yes, yo do, youre very beautiful.

Youll be disappointed if you really see me. Im a monster.

Youre not!

But Blake smiles.

Im going to make a flower crown, can you help me?

okay

Blake picked the flowers from the greenhouse and gathered them in one place. He asked for help, but Baekhan had nothing to do.

Why do you want to make this yourself?

Im going to give it to my wife as a gift. It doesnt mean anything if another person makes it.

is it her birthday?

No.

Then what special day is it?

Blake shook his head.

Its not like that. Im just making it because I want to give it to her.

Do you often give her gifts?

No. I didnt. His Majesty gives her everything she needs, and even if I give her something, its his money anyway. Besides, Im going to die soon.

.

The young boys words shocked him. But Blake was calm.

Did you hear that from Eunhan? That youre gonna die before you become an adult?

.yes.

Thats why I didnt want to leave any traces. But then shell be sad. Then last year, I suddenly felt sick. I had a lot of regrets because I thought I could die. So I picked a rose from the greenhouse and gave it to Ancia. Flowers will eventually wither anyway, right? Like me.

.

But she loved it so much. She put the rose in a vase and put a preservation spell, she looked at it every day. I gave it to her in hope it would wither away. Seeing that, I regretted it. So I decided to give her a lot of presents.

Blake moved his hands diligently.

Baekhan couldnt see him completely, but he could see that Blake was weaving the flower crown diligently by looking at the flow of light.

Blake, who makes presents for Ancia, looked happy.

If only I wouldnt die..

Why do you practice swordsmanship every day when you think youre going to die?

To make abs.
