Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 124

“Why you…”

King Angus lost his words when he saw that the second princess of Dream Land, Jieun, who he knew was close to his daughter now cover with blood still dared to walk towards him.

Arriving in front of the king who was still on the horse, Jieun began to say,

“Mia, before she passed away, she told me that you’re the best father that she has in her life, the first best man she has ever met before Ethan. She even promised herself that she wanted to get married to someone like you, and that is why she chooses the third prince to spend her entire life with. Because he reminds her of you.”

Ethan, who was still looking down at the ground began to look up and look at Jieun who was now facing his father -in -law.

Despite the faint voice, he could still hear every word that came out of Jieun’s mouth at that moment.

“So do you really, want to kill someone who Mia loves so much in her heart? Someone she chose because of her father’s reflection is on him? Isn’t it sound like you’re killing yourself?”

King Angus, who never crying in his life started to feel something in his eyes now. Sting.

“I know you’re so angry because you’re a father who loves his daughter too much. But, just as you love Mia, so does Ethan. I saw for myself how much he loved Mia, and I swear to you that on their last day together, Mia is such happy girl. She’s even smiling until her last breath.”

King Angus didn’t want to look in the direction of Jieun. Didn’t want the girl to be aware of the tears that were starting to flow on his face.

“And look at here now, people of the Dream Land even come here since this morning to pay their last respects to Mia. All the people here love her like she is their own family, even though she is their princess. Look at how high Mia’s rank is in their views and hearts. So do you want to ruin this day by creating chaos and war? Whereas today is a day where we should focus on Mia, and she alone. I am sure you don’t want people to remember today as a bloody event, a day of war. Because today in the future is supposed to be the day people will always remember Mia. Brought flower to her grave and pray.  Am I not right? ” Jieun very hopeful that a few of her words can get into the heart of the king.

Seeing some changes in the king’s face, Jieun finally handed Mia’s pouch along with a piece of letter there.

“This, Mia gave it to me before she passed away. Telling me to give it to her father after she died. She said she knew that her father would make some chaos later and wanted me to convey this before anything happened. Can you take this?”

King Angus looked at Jieun’s trembling hand that holding the object to him. One of his followers wanted to help to take it, but he stopped the movement with his hand and he himself got off the horse and walked closer to Jieun there.

Jieun didn’t afraid to face the fierce king. She looks right into his eyes without breaking the eye contact.

King Angus finally took the things from Jieun hand. He just looked in the envelope first, a little confused.

“The pouch contains a lot of Mia’s memory, her favorite things and all since she was a baby. She still collects all the things that contain meaningful memory of her. Like her first draw, her first shoes, even the first chocolate wrap that her father gave it to her. As she feels like it was the most delicious things that her father ever gave her and she wanted to remember that. And a lot more that you can see inside the pouch when you are alone. And the other one is letter. She even went to the magic store to keep her voice there. When you open it you can hear her voice as you read the contents but it only happens once.  This is the last messages that she wants me to give to her father. ”

Listening to that Queen Maya walked forward and stood next to her husband. She also wanted to know what Mia gave to her husband.

With the presence of his wife by his side, King Angus could not wait any longer there and continued to open the letter. Immediately Mia’s loud voice echoed there.

Dear father,

I know you must be shocked to learn that I have left this world. I wonder what you’re doing presumably. Are you trying to break this world apart? Or even wanted to take Ethan head?

I hope you won’t do that. If you didn’t want me to rise from the grave and become a ghost that will haunt you every time you were sleeping, you better stop it now.

I know, you must be upset because you love me the most and that’s make this whole thing hard and hurt. But father, if I think back, I rather die first than see you, mother, my siblings also Ethan go left me. I don’t think I can accept it well if all of you died before me.

But you probably think the same right? Because you’re my father. No parent in this world wants to see their child go first. But we have to accept the destiny that has been written to us with an open heart.

Tell you this father, as long as I live, this 26 years of my life, I feel really blessed. Of course, there’s a time when I feel hurt and disappointed, but, I am proud to be your daughter, I am the happiest when I got married, I feel lucky to meet too many good people and feel loved. I will not exchange that for anything. If I could relive this life, I would not hesitate to live the same path. I don’t want to change anything. That is how I feel.

I’m sorry. I’m saying this because I cannot become your proud daughter much longer. I’m sorry I make you worry and sad each time I make a decision based on my stubbornness. But dad, I got that temper of yours. You can’t complain at that.  You know that right? Seeing this letter, I guess mother probably jealous of you now as I mention you the most like she always does. Do brag this to her then, said that I choose you over her.

I love all of you so much. I know I didn’t tell you that a lot after I got married as we are not living together.  But you know it.

Please don’t cry too much for me. Please keep being saved and happy even though I am no longer with you. And lastly, I know it sound selfish of me. But please… Look for Ethan for me.  Please take care of him.  Because I know, he will break the most after I’m gone. You will do that for me right father? I know you will. Like you always do.

And now… I’m sorry… But  its time to say this…

Goodbye…

Jieun and everyone who heard there began to cry. Its warm, but heartbreaking letter at the same time. Even all the princes had a melancholy face at that time while King Liam started walking into the palace again with an unreadable face.

Ethan, however, break into the pieces. He cried very hard there while prostrating on the ground with both of his hands guarded his face from being seen by people. But all already know, even though his face is invisible, he is breaking down hard now.

King Angus could no longer contain his heart and began to sit on the ground hugging the letter while Queen Mary, who had been crying, now knelt next to her husband and began to hug him. The two cried together there.

After a while, King Angus ordered his army to retreat and he and his family began to enter the palace after apologizing to King Liam because of his actions earlier. King Liam did not say anything but he himself guided them into the funeral hall. Finally, proper funeral can be done in peace.

Jieun that injured was helped by Adele in a room while accompanied by Eun-Woo there. She pulled out an arrow that was still piercing Jieun’s shoulder at the time, and quickly before blood dripped she poured a golden liquid there. Makes the blood doesn’t flow out at all, and the wound is no longer visible, but the pain is still there.

Jieun feel amazed about that because she still hasn’t met anyone who treats differently than the others. Slowly she gave a bottle of medicine to Jieun after she do something in there.

“Here, you still will feel sick in a few days because it will take time to heal. You can drink this medicine twice a day to speed up healing.”

“Thank you.” Jieun said.

Adele smiled back at her and then left them both there.

“Are you mad at me?” Jieun asks Eun-Woo now they are alone.

Eun-Woo sigh there, but he just decide to hug her. What happened has already happened. And also that action saved them from fighting lor even war.. He just relieved that she is okay.
