"Yes"

This was the word which brought two of them back. Yeonjun was elbowing Beomgyu and soobin was the one who answered the priest's question which was directed to Beomgyu but he was lost in the eyes of the one who was standing across the curtain.

Soobin and yeonjun was confused, they didn't knew that who is that all they was it must be kang. The person felt so divine for them also.

But why is Beomgyu's eyes filled up? One thing they didn't notice was the one who stood opposite also had tears filled in his eyes.

On one hand both yeonjun and Soobin was clueless meanwhile the other two youngsters was overwhelmed with many emotions.

While the priest stood there will a calm and knowing smile.

"Taehyun-Ah"

The three princes of Azurethra turned to look at the other side of the border some one other, obviously an another kang entered calling the one who was already standing there.

"Taehyun, oh Kang Taehyun so he is the Treasure of Eclipsara "

Yeonjun whispered to his brothers.
They were amazed meanwhile Beomgyu's eyes widened and a smile form of his lips hearing the name.

"No wonder he looks so divine "

Soobin whispered back. Even before yeonjun able to respond,  the newly entered kang spoke again.

"I'm apologising for interpretation  priest Eun-hoo but we are about to leave for the ritual of visiting villagers, Can we have Taehyun. I mean only if you are done"

There were a ritual existed in Eclipsara. On the day before coronation the about to king with his wife and the other princes should visit each and every subject's house. And should personally invite them to the coronation. It was a part of considering subjects as their own family.

"Ofcourse Prince Chan-Hee, you can take prince Taehyun. And for what I said him to stay for a while when you all left

The priest turned his gaze from Taehyun to Beomgyu and fixed his gaze on Beomgyu with a smile while continuing

Is done. "

Beomgyu who was only looking the Taehyun the whole time, turned his gaze to priest when he heard his words.

He was amazed, he was confused. What if he is just imagining things.

Nor his two brothers and Chan-hee didn't had any reactions. He turned to look at Taehyun who was already looking at him. With the same suprised expressions as him.

Taehyun was exactly thinking the same, after the rituals when everyone was about to leave the priest asked him to stay. Even after they all left the priest didn't said anything. Taehyun who was already affected by the overwhelming unknown feeling and race of heart became tensed because of Priest's silence. He knew that something is going to happen. But what? It didn't felt like something bad. But a really strong feeling which affected his heart the most. It was then he heard priest asking something it wasn't to him, but someone across the red curtain.

"Are you the prince who came with the message?"

He turned to look, it was the whole feeling exploded, he himself wasn't able to explain it. That second he forgot everything. He felt like, he was alone with the man opposite to him whom was being visible as red, the colour of fate.

' What is this feeling? Why is my eyes filling up seeing him? Why am I getting lost in his eyes whenever I look at it? Is it only me? But the way he is looking..
What does the priest mean? He didn't even tell me anything, does it mean...? Ah or am I just imagining things? '

Taehyun's mind was also filled with question he looked at the one who was responsible for the heart race he is feeling right now. It was then he looked  back at him too. It felt like both of them are thinking the same things.

But Taehyun had an question in his mind which Beomgyu didn't.

'But who is he?'

Taehyun didn't realised the crown prince of Azurethra, the great Choi Beomgyu whom which he admire after hearing the story of serpent mother Ruka.

"Thank you priest, Taehyun-Ah let's go "

Taehyun just looked at his brother, then again Beomgyu before looking at the priest.

"Go on child" The priest told Taehyun.

Taehyun gave him a weak smile before looking at Beomgyu. They again looked at eachother's eyes. Then, Taehyun slowly turned around to leave with his brother.

Both of them felt like their heart was breaking or something. While both his brothers turned around from the retreating figures to face the priest. Beomgyu's eyes was still fixed at Taehyun's retreating figure.

Beomgyu's eyes was filled up with pain, at same time Taehyun felt like something pulling him back, he felt like going back and to stand infront of that unknown stranger. He slowly turned his head still walking to leave.

The stranger was still looking at him. Seeing Taehyun turn around the pain filled face of Beomgyu finally gave in to a painful smile.

Taehyun also gently smiled at the stranger who was still looking at his way.

Both of them wasn't able to see eachother's smile because of the distance and covering red clothing they also knew it that it won't reach the other while smiling. But still they felt it. Something smooth touched their heart when they received the other one's smile. Calming them down.

Taehyun left the sawon with his brother completely dissapering from Beomgyu's sight.  It was then he was elbowed by Yeonjun he confusedly looked at his brothers. Both them glaring at him. It was then he turned to look at the priest. And finally he got the realisation of where is it now.

All this time when he was looking at Taehyun leaving, His brothers was confusedly looking at him they even try sending draggers at him and elbowing him. Which was useless. The elders was worried about how will the priest react? But the priest was looking at him with a knowing smile which confused the elder brothers more.

And about how Beomgyu behaved now, it was too out of character of him. They were worried about him even by the earlier incident now this too.
