Flowers of Worship / 경배의 꽃 It was in the middle of the night that the woman who would be the Duchess came to see me. She said my father and mother died, and my kind uncle became king. She said it’s not worth it for me, the crown prince, to be living in hiding, too. “A while ago, Your Highness had been hiding from me. With all due respect, is that for the sake of survival? Just because your parents died doesn’t mean you have no reason to survive. Actually, that fact alone made it all the more reason why you should live. If you die now…” If I died now? When I asked her while looking at her eyes, the woman eventually brought out the harsh truth with empathetic eyes. “It’s like a dog’s death.” “That’s rude….” It’s been a long time since I said that. In a short while, he has been treated as a madman and beaten to death just by saying similar things. She loosened her arms that held me and I suddenly stiffened up due to it. Because I thought she might have loosened her arm to hit me. But she didn’t. She knelt down with one knee in front of me, just like a knight. “Hastred’s Sarian raised her salutations. May you accept it gladly.” My first knight is beautiful and kind. “Are you on my side?” “Yes, Your Highness.” It was all a lie.

What the heck bro
At least this maybe means that he doesn’t hate his nephew or want him to die, but he’s trying to annex her knights and family name to the crown by their marriage

Breaks my heart that such a young child was ready and willing to die 😭
And they starved him for three days??? Or was it just the stress?
Pure
I wonder what her tattoos are from
Pure
Ey yo what

Being babied is a privilege that most people aren’t allowed to experience in the entirety of their life, in real life as well. I’m jealous 😅

I can’t tell if he’s just dumb (common sense-wise, or street-wise) or simply blinded by his emotions all the time. I guess desperation can do that to anyone, but he has so much to lose and to be careful of, he’s really doing a poor job of hanging onto his life 😅
Pure
She’s the coolest 🥰🥰🥰 So effortlessly cunning and compassionate at the same time 💕
His devotion to her is because she’s the only one who’s truly been on his side all this time, and I guess he’s truly on her side as well?

Boi spitting some lines this chapter, dang 👀
Isn’t he just 13 though? 😂
Pure
Oh shoot dawg, not again
Also those red lines look like the FL’s tattoos?????? Maybe related??

I get it, I do, but she’s doing this to protect someone she cares about, and she’s free to make her own choices as well. Idk, I guess we’ll find out whether she wanted/needed him to come intervene (emotionally) in the coming chapters
