성황의 아이들 [2]

304

304. Demon King No. 2 (2)

"One day there was a very large fire in Rohan. "Most of the buildings are made of wood, and with the long drought, the damage is said to have grown out of control."

Seongjin also heard about it from Dasha. A nobleman's estate was completely burned down.

At the time, Rohan's ambassador said that he had accused Owen of arson.

"Luckily, Owen, who happened to be outside the territory at that time, escaped the attack. However, she lost both of her parents in a fire. Perhaps that is why, even after she entered the imperial palace and became stable, she was unable to sleep properly."

Owen had openly said that he was not his biological son, but neither Seonghwang nor Seongjin paid any attention to that.

"... "I have nightmares about that time."

I could guess the reason right away. Didn't Owen say that to Seongjin before terminating the connection?

-Oh, I don't like it. If things continue like this, the dream will definitely be wild.

I wondered why the grown-up was suddenly whining in an unusual way, but it seemed like it was a desperate reason of his own.

"okay. It must have been extremely painful to vividly experience the loss of your parents every night. So, isn't that why the child sent me that gift?"

After saying that, Seonghwang turns his head and looks at the desk for a moment.

As I followed his gaze, I saw a white rabbit eye patch lying there. This is a limited edition eyepatch of the mental attack resistance S+, similar to the one Sisley showed earlier.

It was a whopping price of 3,999,000 P Cash.

"Sisley said it was something that would ward off nightmares. But why did I tell my father... ... ."

When the puzzled Seongjin asked, Seonghwang slowly shook his head.

"There is one reason I can think of. "I once said this to that child in passing."

Seonghwang, who was busy with construction work both in the face and at night, sometimes called Owen, who could not sleep, and showered him with divine power to pass the time.

-lung... Isn't your father sleeping at this hour?

It is said that to the boy who was still unfamiliar and hesitant, Seonghwang at that time casually answered:

-There is no need to sleep because you have divine power. Since my dream would be messy anyway, I think it would be better to finish at least one task during that time.

Seongjin, who was listening, became bewildered.

"... Just because of that?"

"okay. "Owen is a child with a quite delicate side."

Come to think of it, Sisley also said this before.

-Owen may seem like he goes around without thinking, but when you get to know him, he is a very attentive and kind person. I once told him that I had a nightmare, and he kept forgetting about it for years and then sent me this.

Since nightmares are what he struggles with the most, it seems like he didn't listen to what other people said in passing.

However, after purchasing two such expensive items with the cash I saved, and sending them off, I am actually afraid of nightmares? Does that mean he still hasn't found anything for himself?

"Why don't you write it first...?" ... ."

However, Seongjin was able to guess the reason as soon as he spoke. The day we first met at Pangea Chronicle, Owen said this to him with a serious expression.
