CHAPTER 48: QUESTION OF ETHICS

On the other side of the sea.

The battle against the elves has left parts of the castle destroyed.

Some of the dungeons were drilled by large pieces of rock, many of the prisoners died under the rubble.

DWYER is very upset, he had to use his power to balance the balance.

His desire to acquire more power fills him with emotion.

Gradually the power he had shared with the dragons of ANCALAGON has returned, few of them returned with DWYER, they are the ones who helped him counter the elves, who came mounted on dark dragons, those who were domesticated, not by force, but by loyalty that they share with those elves from the middle ground.

When the meeting is over, SHURUI asks the king to stay, he has something to consult with him.

Everything seems fine, they're both calm.

When the councillors are gone, RYU asks SHURUI about the matter to be dealt with.

SHURUI, you want to talk to him about PANDORA.

Ryu missed, asks him why is he interested in knowing what's going on with PANDORA?

SHURUI has not left its seriousness, this tells RYU that he is really serious.

Then he decides to take a seat with him and asks him to talk.

SHURUI questions you for pandora's safety.

RYU tells him he's safe in his room.

Angry SHURUI questions you if you're going to let PANDORA live forever in a room?

RYU, pressed, gets a little upset, asks what right does it have to question your decisions?

He's just a councilman.

SHURUI, erupts in anger, like never before, being a peaceful being, attracts ryu's attention.

It tells you exactly what you know. Blame RYU for neglecting PANDORA.

He exposed PANDORA just the day before, she would be safer with the other humans, the second time he exposed her was to stay with her in her room... expressly alone with her.

I'm sure he slept with her all night.

Both are in a state where the slightest sign of aggression will cause the two to throw themselves at a stroke.

RYU, irritated, erupts against SHURUI, he is the new king, SHURUI, he is only his councillor, has no authority to command over what RYU should or should not do.

And in question of PANDORA, she herself was the one who asked her to stay with her that night... this somehow pasma to SHURUI, there is some sadness mixed with rage in his gaze.

RYU notices, is a little jealous that someone advocates for her like that, for a moment wonders if she is worthy of PANDORA's love, RYU looks at SHURUI... it is clear that he feels the same way as RYU for PANDORA... the difference is that maybe SHURUI would know how to take care of it.

RYU, bluntly clarifies to SHURUI that what he does with PANDORA is something he should not care about, SHURUI expressly objects to him thinking about PANDORA's well-being.

If he, as a man, gets intimate with her.

He'll kill her and that's something he won't allow.

RYU, almost drooling with rage, knows that SHURUI is right, it is dangerous to encourage such situations... It's just that... loses control when he is near her... RYU, you're afraid... loves PANDORA... he thinks he's capable of doing something very bad to PANDORA if he can't stop, in the morning he had a hard time doing it.

RYU makes the decision to see PANDORA for shorter lapses, which leads not to sleep with her again... just remembering the warmth of his snuggled body to RYU's, makes him want to marry her.

He rebukes himself.

He understands that SHURUI is right, it is only that, he feels that SHURUI does this for PANDORA and for it, not because YONGHÉNG has predisposed him.

It makes him angry to think that SHURUI wants to steal from his beloved, although, you know, he was his caretator for a long time... doesn't want him near her.

SHURUI with a seriousness that RYU never knew him, warns him not to let him harm PANDORA, if that costs him his life, he doesn't care, that's his duty.

RYU questions the latter part.

Was it YONGHÉNG who commissioned such a thing?

SHURUI replies bluntly that no.

PANDORA is her friend, her duty is for her to be safe, even from RYU.

This RYU took it as an offense.

He gets up from the table and gets ready to go.

Before leaving the room, he tells SHURUI that he should no longer be his councillor.

SHURUI, angry, tells him that's something they couldn't choose.

It was decided by YONGHÉNG. Whether they want it or not, it's something they can't change.

RYU, stress that he will be the one to take care of her.

RYU leaves that room very angry.

SHURUI is terribly angry, about to squeeze his hands and bleed his palms.

There's fury on his face.

RYU, walking away down the hall badly affected, he has always felt a relief from having SHURUI on his side, now he has a conflict with him.

RYU, wishing to see his brother, has not seen him since that time he felt that he would really attack him, his brother was certainly very hurt.

It was too much that RYU did not see and lived when he left in search of PANDORA, once again put first his own desires than his family's needs.

He remembers his brother when RYU asked him to be king because he did not feel entitled to be king.

It is now because of YONGHÉNG's desire, not because it really feels worthy of it.

He believes that YONGHÉNG loved his father very much, so that he wanted the kingdom to somehow return to his father.

This is the only thing that encourages him to remain in the position of king, although the council is actually the one who makes the decisions for now.

He feels very bewildered, doesn't want to go to see PANDORA, he doesn't want to see his brother for now either.
