'The symbol of the king of Kouka Kingdom... Is the Hiryuu Castle. I swore that one day I would return to this castle.'

〜flashback〜
"Welcome, Soo-Won! Come quickly! We have pear juice today!" Yona shouts from the window, "It's nice to see you again, Soo-Won-sama. And Ojousama, please take a few step backs, you can fall if you stay like that." Yuriko walks from behind Soo-Won and greets him.

"Oh, Yuriko-san." He smiles at her, "It's nice to meet you again, too."

*bonk*
"You're open."
"Ow!" Hak bonk Soo-Won's head with the the tip of his Hsu Quandao.

"You're slow, Soo-Won-sama." Hak said this teasingly.
"Hak!" Soo-Won turn his head to Hak while rubbing his head.

"Yona is lucky... To have you two as attendant." Soo-Won suddenly said this.

"You have one too, right?" Hak asks him.
"But I want Hak and Yuriko." He says this while making a pouting face.

"Then become the king." Hak answers him with a smile.
"Huh..?"
"He means, marry Yona-ojousama and becone the king, Soo-Won-sama."
"Eh?! I can't marry Yona!" Soo-Won said this with a flustered expression.

"You want us, right?" Hak just points Yuriko with his thumbs with a grin.
"That’s what you mean..."
"Well, either way... I'll only acknowledge you... If you marry Princess Yona and become the next king. At that time, I'll become your right hand. I will stay beside you two until the end."
"It's also works on me. If you marry ojousama I will give you my full support, from being a servant, and as a guard. I will make sure to stay beside you two until the day I die." Yuriko said this with a smile.

"By the way, you'll have to provide me with three meals... And an afternoon nap. I'm the Thunder beast of Kouka after all." Hak starts to rambling about what Soo-Won has to give him if he really become his right hand.
"Ah, then I want to get a new katana and train the soldier." Yuriko joins him.

"Yes, that's..." He then lean his forehead on Yuriko's shoulder.

'But I know... When I become the king... Both Yuriko, Yona and Hak... Will not be by my side.' (This is Soo-Won's thought.)

"... A fortunate dream." He complete his sentence, Yuriko kind of realise that he's acting a little weird, so she just pats his head like what she always do to the three of them when they're still a kid. This only makes Soo-Won more want to cry.

"Soo-Won, hurry." Yona shouts from the window once again.

"Hak... Yuriko-san... Please... Protect Yona. Okay?"

〜flashback end〜

'On warm days like those... I was a little uncertain.' The gate's opening and Soo-Won raise his head, look straight to the front.

'But now... My "right hand" is gone, the girl who gave me warmth is gone. And the woman who always helps and forgives me no matter what I do.... The woman I falls in love with...  Is gone as well. I trampled them... I do the thing that will make her never forgive me again... And cast them aside... To come this far.'

"That’s our new king..?"
"He's still young, but he's lord Yu-Hon's legimate son."
"Oh, that's lord Yu-Hon' s...."
"Then... He'll definitely be a magnificient king."

'That’s why... I will not doubt anymore!!'

After he's crowned, he turns back as face all of the people who present there.
