Epilogue, the beginning, not the end (3)
a few days later.
The funeral was held.
It was a place to commemorate the people who lost their lives in this war and the death of Hans.
People flocked to Dmitry from early morning, and they found Roman Dmitry standing there even though the funeral had not yet begun.
Everyone knew what it meant. Hans was a very special person to Roman Dmitry, so the main characters spoke carefully.
King of Cairo.
Daniel Cairo stood next to Roman Dmitry.
"As King of Cairo, I say that the lives of all people are equally precious, but that is a blatant lie. As you know, I also had a special existence. Count Nicholas. I would not be where I am today without him, who supported the young king who was nothing."
turned his head
Now, the eyes of a strong man who did not match the expression of a young king turned to Roman Dmitry.
"Baron Hans would have been happy. At least we didn't spend the last time together."
"Thank you."
"no."
I was grateful.
Count Nicholas died horribly in the war with Kronos, so advice like this would not have been easy for him. Nevertheless, he willingly took courage for Roman Dmitry.
Thirty years have passed and he, who is now called everything in Cairo, has become a giant who can handle such emotions.
Daniel Cairo leaves.
This time Flora Lawrence approached.
"Are you okay?"
"… … Okay."
"I don't think that life is really even an inch ahead. When I first met His Majesty, Roman Dmitry, I was just a child who knew nothing, but now I am in my 50s, and I have met His Majesty, who is exactly the same as then. To me, and to His Majesty the Emperor. Baron Hans was a really nice guy. There are very few people in this world who can blindly give emotions."
Lawrence and Dmitry.
As the relationship was formed by marriage, Flora Lawrence met frequently with Dmitry.
Actually, it was a little uncomfortable at times.
When he married his second son, Rodwell Dmitry, who had been married to Roman Dmitry by arrangement, some people were talking about bad things behind the scenes.
Each time, Hans took care of Flora Lawrence. How special you are, and the fact that you deserve to be treated here.
Baron Hans guaranteed it.
If Hans was precious to Roman Dmitry, to Flora Lawrence he remained a really good person.
"Congratulations on getting back to where you were."
It was the last word.
Flora Lawrence also stepped down.
So, one after another, people started talking.
Dmitry's main characters, people from all over the world, deeply sympathized with Roman Dmitry's heart and tried to help out even a single word.
They, too, heard the story of Roman Dmitry. The story of Roman Dmitry, who watched the last path of Baron Hans until the end, who stood by Hans as soon as he returned to Dmitry.
like that.
The funeral was held.
Roman Dmitry tried to be calm.
But at the sight of the bereaved family, who had endured the sorrow while crying, finally collapsed and burst into tears, and the voices crying out for their families.
I couldn't be quiet any longer.
* * *
I still remember clearly.
When he first opened his eyes as Roman Dmitry, he met Hans' worried gaze.
"Are you okay?"
"young master? young master!"
"Come on, get your medicine! The master is sick!"
There was an all-out riot.
In the end, it was settled when Roman Dmitry came to his senses, but from then on, a person named Hans was remembered as a special person by Roman Dmitry.
So I broke down the wall with him from the beginning. The eyes that cared for him did not leave my mind, so I brought him into the fence without any special reason.
Baek Jung-hyuk and Roman Dmitry.
In fact, they both had a similar beginning.
Baek Jung-hyeok, who was abandoned by his father, and Roman Dmitry, who lost sight of his father because of his reputation as a fool of Dmitry.
In a situation where he could have lived a similar life, Hans stayed by Roman Dmitry's side and proved that he was different from his previous life.
As a human being, I received human emotions.
Though the unborn emotions have no room to accept other emotions, Hans' blind emotions sowed seeds in Roman Dmitry's heart.
It nurtures myself and allows me to accept others.
Thanks to Hans.
Roman Dmitry was able to live as a human being.
As memories with him flashed through his mind, Roman Dmitry felt tears in his eyes.
as the emperor of the empire.
As the leader of all.
I had to hold back my tears.
If it is according to the teachings of Cheonma Shinkyo, if it is according to the teachings of the previous headmaster and father.
Human tears reveal our weakness, and absolute dominance at that moment is impossible, he always said coldly.
In fact, he had never seen his father cry.
Even in the circumstances of their sons dying, the father merely reacted to his son's weakness.
Baek Joong-hyuk hated such a father.
And without realizing it, he resembled his father and controlled his emotions.
"… … Hans."
was that so
I didn't want to hold back my tears any longer.
Like the emotions of other bereaved families who shed tears for the person they really care about.
Be honest with yourself.
I lowered my head.
cried for a long time
On the day that Hans was sent, the tears he cried secretly were revealed without hiding it in front of everyone.
No one found it strange.
Roman Dmitryden.
either emperor.
whoever that
On the occasion of letting a loved one pass away, everyone was just the same person.

catastrophe.
dimensional rift.
As the problem that plagued mankind was resolved, the two worlds, Dmitry and the Korean Empire, quickly regained stability.
last week.
There was a special change.
Once Roman Dmitry returned to the emperor of the Dmitry Empire, he entrusted the Korean Empire to Kim Jun-hyeok.
"Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok was a person who did his best for the safety of the people even when he was persecuted by the central government. I have no doubts about the fact that he is not lacking as the next emperor of the Korean Empire. There is a word I promised you when I founded the Korean Empire. I will surely make you live a human life. Even if I resign as emperor, I will not turn away from the reality of the Korean Empire as the emperor of the Dmitry Empire."
Everyone was excited.
Junhyuk Kim.
He was a man of sufficient quality.
Of course, everyone reacted with disappointment to the fact that Roman Dmitry would step down, but knowing his relationship with Dmitry, he couldn't force him to hold on to him.
No one thought it was irresponsible. Lastly, I thought that the promise not to turn away from the Korean Empire proves his responsibility regardless of his position.
It wasn't just that.
Roman Dmitry raised another issue.
"Listen, people of Dmitry. In the last 30 years of my absence, my brother and agent Rodwell Dmitry has shown great leadership. Without him, Dmitry would never have been headed in the right direction. As I experienced this, I realized one thing. If the day comes when I will step down from this position. Dmitry's successor will not be my children, but people like Rodwell Dmitry, who have done a great job for this country. A person who has been proven through thorough verification will be qualified to lead the Dmitry Empire."
it was extravagant
interrupted the transfer of power.
Even if they later get married and have children, Roman Dmitry did not want hereditary problems.
and.
"In the meantime, we have been through a lot of trials and tribulations. Especially the decisive battle with the Absolute. By winning that battle, the Korean Empire and Dmitry proved to be one. In the future, the two worlds, the two dimensions, plan to actively exchange and create a new world. God has given us another trial, but as always, we will endure it and build a new future."
new future.
It was the beginning of a new world.
like that.
Time passed.
* * *
It was a sunny afternoon.
Although it was the weather to go for a picnic right now, a large number of people flocked to Dmitry's building.
The reason is right.
It was because of Kim Pan-seok's trial.
After all the chaotic reality was sorted out, the shocking truth was revealed to the world.
"A wizard representing the Korean Empire. The wizard in white was actually Alexander!"
It was shocking.
In Dmitry's world, Alexander was remembered as a symbol of evil.
Names are mentioned in textbooks, and thousands of people have lost their families because of the demonic existence.
But, by the way.
Alexander's reincarnation!
The problem was serious.
At first, people said that Kim Pan-seok should be judged immediately, but some people questioned whether it was right to pass on the sins of a previous life to a 'reincarnated' being.
It was a really complicated problem. In the midst of intense garon-eul-bak (甲論乙駁), the trial schedule was finally decided.
in court.
As the jury watched, the judge opened his mouth.
"Criminal Kim Pan-seok. In his previous life, under the name of Aleksandr, he committed unspeakably evil deeds. We all remember the name, and it cannot be said that there is nothing wrong with being reincarnated as Kim Pan-seok. Now that the judgment is coming soon, sinners should make their final defense in front of everyone."
eyes were focused.
last.
It was my last chance to speak.
Since there were no lawyers in Dmitry's system, Kim Pan-seok got up and looked at the judge.
eyes were stinging.
Judges looking down on themselves, jurors looking at the enemy's young eyes.
Not everyone liked him.
However, until now after revealing his identity and attending this event, he has not tried to deny the past that it was Alexander.
Kim Pan-seok said.
"I admit all my sins. At that time, when I was called Alexander, I did the wrong thing that a human being should not do. Actually, I don't know what to say here. Having been reincarnated as Kim Pan-seok and given the opportunity of repentance (悔改), I tried my best to clear up the karma of my previous life, even though I knew that belated reflection was meaningless. I have done many good deeds enough to be called the wizard in white, but looking back on the past, I am undeniably trash. I will not defend myself. If my present life should be punished for the evil deeds of my past life, I will gladly accept that reality."
bowed his head.
acknowledging guilt.
That was the best Kim Pan-seok had to choose, to sincerely reflect on Alexander's sins.
* * *
new life.
new opportunities.
Kim Pan-seok wanted to live.
Because I was given the opportunity to worship the Heavenly Demon, I desperately wanted to survive and live a new life.
However.
'It is an undeniable fact that I have done evil. At that time, I gave up being human because of black magic, but that excuse would be meaningless to those who lost their families. In the future, in order to live as a person of His Majesty Roman Dmitry, I have to liquidate my karma. If not... … .'
Messed it up
At a dead end, Kim Pan-seok did not turn away from reality.
'I'd rather die.'
left to choose
From now on, it wasn't my will.
Whether people save him or not, Kim Pan-seok was willing to accept the consequences humbly.
Thinking about it.
It was a happy enough life.
Wasn't he, who was nothing but a worm, lived as a person of a heavenly demon for a while?
The judge received the opinions of the jury.
After discussing an important story for a long time, he drew everyone's attention and finally delivered the verdict.
"The jury participated in this trial and actively reflected the opinions of the people on the judgment of the criminal. Alexander is an undeniable villain. The crime he committed is unforgivable, but the court does not believe that a relationship of responsibility exists between Alexander's evil deeds and Kim Pan-seok's existence."
It's not just because he died once.
There was a reason people changed their minds.
"After the sinner had the opportunity to be reincarnated, he actually showed repentance. He performed good deeds enough to be called the wizard in white, and above all, he helped a lot by revealing his identity immediately after meeting His Majesty Roman Dmitry. If the sinner simply wanted to survive. He did not reveal his identity, or he may have been uncooperative in linking the dimensional passages. However, the sinner did a great job in many areas, and Dmitry's people highly valued the sinner's sincerity in that area. blast furnace… … ."
The tension was heightened.
Even if they say they are forgiven
If a verdict such as life imprisonment was issued, Kim Pan-seok had to live a life that had no meaning in the future.
Finally.
The judge put an end to the trial.
"Instead of acquitting Kim Pan-seok, a criminal, he orders indefinite community service to pay for the sins of his past life."
at that word.
on the word innocence.
'My lord. I survived! As a second member of the Cheonma Shintoism, I had to survive in a fair way!
Kim Pan-seok secretly clenched his fist.
three lives.
The tough relationship with the heavenly demon is not over yet.
