It was simple after that.

The kingdom, sensing defeat, sent a knight to persuade the Emperor every time, and that day too, the scheduled knight visited the Emperor’s palace.

The knight who visited today, Callis, pleaded with his dying voice to save himself and his kingdom.

A pathetic request, nowhere to be found in the knight’s pride. Callis seemed to know that his request would not be taken seriously.

Normally, Kun would have immediately rejected the knight’s entreaty.

But today’s answer was different. The Emperor accepted Callis’s request quickly.

Afterwards, even Callis himself seemed surprised and asked again. Having received confirmation, he left the palace with a blank expression.

And the next day, King Balront came to Kun in a hurry. It was to verify whether his knight had brought true information.

Conveniently, Kun still had the same intention. There, the two nations succeeded in negotiations, declaring a ceasefire.

Moreover, the two nations formed an alliance.

From now on, the two nations would not wage war with each other, and instead actively interact, according to the contract.

Additionally, the Emperor promised to compensate for all the losses the empire and the kingdom incurred during the war.

For the Balront Kingdom, the conditions couldn’t be more excellent.

When the news of the ceasefire spread widely throughout the empire, it caused an uproar.

At first, everyone considered it lowlevel gossip, but when their children began to return one by one, they believed the public opinion.

Contrary to Kun’s expectations, the backlash was not very severe.

The empire, which already held the world’s leadership, felt that there was no need to continue the war with bloodshed.

Of course, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the nobles who had expected profits.

But as time was the cure, the empire gradually returned to normal.

Kun was no exception either.

He regained his original form by pulling himself together. The perfect Emperor, the embodiment of fear, yet served by the entire empire.

He dealt with the work that had been postponed due to the war as it came. The reports that passed through his hands were enough to make several books.

And yet when night fell, someone came to mind. When he saw the sparkling white milk of dawn, someone who shone more beautifully came to mind.

Just a little later, when the kingdom was a little more peaceful, he would go there.

It was a time when he was enduring, showing his consideration.

“Your Majesty.”

In the infinitely quiet office, only the sound of pen and paper filled the interior until a new sound was added.

At Dylan’s call, Kun’s concentration was broken. Kun took off his glasses and allowed the other party to enter.

“I hope what you have is not a document that needs to be written anew.”

“Unfortunately, it is.”

Dylan replied playfully, handing the envelope he had been holding to his master.

Inside the envelope was a letter.

“It’s a letter sent by the King of Balront.”

The kingdom’s emblem was clearly engraved in the hard sealing wax.

“The knight who facilitated the ceasefire with the empire is getting married this time. He’s inviting us to the royal palace to celebrate both the ceasefire and the knight’s wedding. I mean, even though it’s the wedding of the knight who helped the ceasefire, isn’t it a clear breach of protocol to invite Your Majesty to a mere knight’s wedding?”

“They must be reminding us of our alliance with them. We never know when they might break the oath and rush at us.”

Callis Argen.

Publicly, it is known that this knight persuaded the Emperor. Since there had to be some reason and justification for the ceasefire, it was concluded that the knight had persuaded him to declare the ceasefire.

The hero who was a puppet in the play had become the hero of the century in the kingdom.

If he had a conscience, he should have known to be humble, not gladly accepting the honor.

“A declining noble marrying a princess, he’s become Cinderella.”

“Will you go?”

“If he’s earnestly requesting to see my face, sending a letter from afar, I must show it to him.”

He pretended to bestow a great favor, but in truth, he had another intention.

Didn’t he have someone to meet in the kingdom? Since it’s the royal wedding, he would surely see her.

Kun, who accepted the invitation, departed for the kingdom according to the other party’s schedule.
The kingdom’s Cinderella had never even thought of becoming a knight’s bride.

I was simply filled with anticipation at the thought of seeing the woman who had turned me into an adolescent boy.

(This is a time divider.)

“Do you swear to love the groom forever?”

A vow that can’t be missed at a wedding. A moment to promise each other to love before God.

Just following an obvious custom, Kun wanted to tear the priest’s mouth who was asking the vow.

The woman in a pure white dress looked like an angel. The bride was wearing a dress studded with jewels and large accessories, but undoubtedly, what captured people’s attention was the bride’s face.
