The boat of love and happiness

"Ah, hey"

Yarkan looked at the person standing next to him with a deadly smile

I feel cold at the sight of her

Why are you doing this to me now?

I want to leave

"Where are you going, Your Highness? Haven't you missed this kind servant?"

"What kindness I don't see."

Yarkan swallowed and felt coldness down his back

"Leguar, are you angry?"

"What do you mean, Your Highness, how dare I think of being angry with you?"

"You're really angry, Liguar, so calm down and then we can talk."

"How sad I am for His Highness the Crown Prince, your fiancé."

"Who brought Nour's biography to this conversation?"

"I really pity him for having a reckless alpha like your Highness."

"Leguar, I apologize, so stop with that creepy smile."

"For the first time in my life, I let Your Highness go to another world without me, but all you did was get involved in accidents and lose your memories. No, what's worse is that you would have fallen into a coma."

"How much do you know, Liguar?"

"Look at what you said, Your Highness. Did you not want to tell me what happened as well?"

Yarkan clasped his hands together and looked at Liguar with pity

"I really apologize, I promise I will never do this again and I will never leave you behind."

"He who does this once does it every time, Your Highness."

"You don't believe me, Liguar."

"With all my regret, yes, Your Highness, I no longer believe you."

"Leguar, just this once, I will never betray your trust again."

Yarkan hugged Liguar

Leguar patted his master's back slightly

"You just want to escape from this, Your Highness."

After this hug, Yarkan pulled Liguar to sit next to him in his drawing hall

"I have a lot to tell you, so hurry up."

"Has something happened that makes you very happy?"

"Noor invited me to his heat."

"Oh. I will see your Highness's children soon."

"Liguar, don't say it that way."

"Does talking about children embarrass Your Highness? Is it interesting?"

"Don't joke, it's embarrassing."

"Why are you like this, Your Highness? Haven't you done it to him several times?"

"Leguar, it's omega heat. You know how different they are."

"You must be patient until then or you will die of excessive happiness, Your Highness."

"Liguar taught me"

" What ? "

"I mean how was your first night with your omega heat?"

"It was full of colours"

"Give me some advice"

"I feel a little guilty for filling your head with these thoughts."

"Don't worry, just tell me."

"Don't blame me later"

"Yes, I am responsible for my words."

//

"Will you repeat your words, Ratio?"

"The Prince Regent tells you to come to him now. He has something to tell you."

"At this late hour"

"Yes, he wants you soon."

" Why "

"I don't know anything about it"

"Ah, Ratio, I'm not ready."

"I'll help you, so get out of bed."

Ratio helped the Omega Prince prepare and with difficulty led him towards the Prince Regent's palace

"Do your best, Your Highness."

"Don't leave me alone Ratio"

Ratio waved his hand goodbye to his master

"I'll stay with Albert if you need anything."

The prince froze as soon as he remembered that he had come here at this time

He knows that nothing will happen between them because she is not in that kind of relationship, but his unconditional love for Tarkin played with his mind and made him think about a lot of things.

-

"Prince Omega greets the Prince Regent."

I'm dying inside even if he calls me, why are we talking in his private room

I know that no one entered his room except Albert

So why am I here?

Please, my heart, calm down, and you too, my mind. Nothing will happen, so stop putting forward those scary thoughts

"It's not official, Yuli."

Damn, even though I'm afraid he's finding out something, his saying my name makes me melt

Why does my love for him increase as soon as he calls me by my name, even though I know that the atmosphere is not appropriate?

"I heard some rumors going around so I checked them out and they were true."

"So what does Big Brother want from me?"

"Do you want to know what kind of rumor I heard?"

"Is she insulting Big Brother?"

"No, it's an interesting rumour."

" What is it "

"It was said that my younger brother, the Omega Prince, loves the Prince Regent like an omega loves an alpha."

"Huh"

"There's no need to be surprised, Yuli, because it's true in the end."

"Where did you hear that?"

It's a disaster, the thing I didn't want the brother to know the most was this

He will hate me for sure

No, why did this happen in the first place, where did he hear it from, and why did he seem so sure

"No, what do you mean, brother? How dare I look at you?"

"Yuli, you're trembling,"

"No, I was just shocked by what you said."

"Yuli, are you afraid of me now, why don't you love me?"

Tarkin came forward and grabbed Yuli, whose strength collapsed from the severity of the shock

Yuli was leaning on Tarkin

Yuli looked up and wished he hadn't

He saw Tarkin's features behind the curtain

No, not now, as close to me as possible

Damn, I can't control my feelings

In such a situation, my feelings should decline, but why do they increase so quickly?

Oh, I don't want that

"Look at me, Yuli."

Tarkin grabbed Yuli's face and raised it to his gaze

"Yuli"

"Yes, Tarkin"

Yuli's face was full of redness and ecstasy, especially that last word that he spoke as if he was enchanted

Yuli noticed what he had done and shook his head slightly, then pushed Tarkin off him

"Sorry, Big Brother, I didn't mean that."

That simple push allowed Tarkin's curtain to fall

In fact, leaving this is intentional

"What do you think, Yuli, now?"

"Please let me go, brother."

"Don't cry, Yuli, I just wanted to know if your feelings for me are sincere and not because of some other factor."

Tarkin wiped away Yuli's tears and rubbed his eyes a little

"Yuli, just be honest with me."

Yuli felt terrified, afraid of Tarkin's look at him if he confirmed the answer, and at the same time he could not refute the matter because it would lead to a dead end in front of them.

Yuli turned around and was about to turn the door handle and leave the room

Tarkin wrapped his hand around Yuli's waist and held him so he wouldn't let go

Yuli was about to push Tarkin again, but Tarkin preceded him by grabbing both of his hands in his fist

Yuli is now trapped between the door and Tarkin

Yuli turned his head to face Tarkin but was stopped

Tarkin's kiss was a surprise to Yuli because he was not mentally or mentally prepared for it

The kiss lasted for several seconds before Tarkin's lips broke away from Yuli's

"It must have been painful, Yuli."

"It was very painful for Tarkin."

Yuli was no longer able to control his feelings and rebuked him for letting those feelings control him

"It was a burning pain. I always looked at you from afar and wanted to be by your side with pride, so I did everything and destroyed anything in my way. I made a name for myself worthy of you being my big brother."

"But I didn't just accept that. I wanted only you. At that moment, I realized that what I felt was not respect, but love for you."

"I don't even realize when these feelings began to instill in my heart until I found myself wrapped around my heart and soul completely."

"Those feelings have become like thorny red flowers that grow at an enormous speed and trap a person inside until they completely exhaust him."

"That was the first time I felt that pain, and in that moment I knew why everyone who died at my hand was tortured by my red flowers."

"I tried so hard to hide those feelings because I didn't want you to hate me, Tarkin, but you discovered this yourself."

He let go of Yuli's hands and caressed his face a little

"Thank you for being honest with me, Yuli, now I will know what to do."

"Is there more after this?"

Why didn't I notice before?

Tarkin's expression is pained and sad, but his cheeks and ears are red

Not even a moment, when he noticed this position and Tarkin blushed, he kissed me

Don't tell me what I'm thinking is true

Yes, why didn't I realize this earlier? Tarkin is not the type to talk for long, and if he wanted to say something, he would say it quickly But he started to go back and forth on the conversation, to the point that he began his speech by saying a rumor, and he is the person who does not believe in rumors the most

"Tarkin, leave me, this is so embarrassing."

Tarkin Yuli escaped as he too absorbed the atmosphere between them

"Oh, I'm sorry if I hurt you."

"No, it's okay"

There was an awkward silence between them

Yuli just realized that Tarkin kissed him and was hugging him

and

Tarkin realized that he rushed to kiss Yuli without asking him because he did not want to see him in pain

Yuli lowered his head to the ground out of great embarrassment

Tarkin looked sideways to one of the corners of the room to avoid seeing Yuli

Embarrassment and tension began to rise between the two

" I do not believe this "

"Yuli, it seems we had a misunderstanding."

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"You were afraid to tell me your true feelings so that I wouldn't hate you, and I was afraid of getting you involved in my miserable life."

"Why do you describe yourself like this? Your life is never miserable. I have always wanted to share this life with you and no one else."

"So please don't describe your life that way, you have always been the shining hope in my life."

Tarkin touched Yuli's face gently and caressed it a little

"Instead of all those long sentences, there is one word I have always wanted to hear from you only."

Yuli placed his hand on Tarkin's hand that was caressing his face and held it lightly with a sincere smile

"I have always loved you sincerely, Tarkin."

Tarkin held Yuli in his embrace for a long moment

Tarkin leaned his head on Yuli's shoulder and whispered

"You won't regret this, right?"

"I will never regret it"

"Then you are more than welcome in my life."

"I still can't believe that all this pain ended with a word from you, Tarkin."

"I also want to tell you, you have to work hard to make everything about me yours alone, my heart, my soul, my life, everything that is precious to me."

"Sure, I won't back down from this, so Tarkin is mine now."

" This is good "

"Tarkin, it's too late now."

"Are you trying to run away because you're embarrassed?"

Tarkin raised his head and gave Yuli another kiss before letting go

Yuli ran away from the place like a runaway cat.

"Goodnight Tarkin"

"He's very cute"

//

"Your Highness, how was it?"

"Ratio"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Tarkin the idiot stole my first kiss without permission, no, he stole it twice."

"It was very awkward in that narrow room."

"I won't say anything, Your Highness. You can sleep or calm yourself down and tomorrow we will talk about what happened."

//

"Rico, how about going to the hidden elf village in their world?"

"I'm surprised that you brought this up now, and isn't that a village that no one except the Seven Distinguished Families can enter?"

"And you are the wife of the second son of one of those seven families."

"Do your words mean that I do not punish a stranger?"

"That's right, I still have a lot of power there."

"Why did you decide to go just now?"

"In order to meet the Elf Ruler, in case the children will be Elves too then I need the King's blessing."

"Do you usually do this?"

"Yes, this is our custom, but if you don't want to go, that's okay."

"No, I want to go, I like Alan to be happy so I have to go."

"I would be happy with that, but you and my children are more important to me than that."

"It's okay, I'm fine, we can go anytime."

"Okay, we'll leave early tomorrow."

Literally all Rico did was sleep and lie down and Alan served him all the time and carried him wherever he wanted to go

//

"Seriously, Alan, what's all this about?"

"It will be cold and snowy in the Elf World this season of the year."

"But there is no need to wear too much clothing."

"Bear this for your health and the health of the children, Rico."

Besides Riku's royal robe, which symbolized his being the Thunder Prince, he wore a pair of cotton gloves

A pair of warm, padded socks along with cotton earphones to keep warm, along with a silver fox fur coat tied with a small bow at the neck.

He looks huge and cute at the same time

Alan kissed Rico on the forehead and then pulled back his hood

"We are ready now"

"What about you, Alan? You're only wearing a light robe."

"I'm an elf and nature doesn't affect me, Rico."

"Your Highness and Sir Alan, the cabin is ready to go."

"We are coming"

"The journey, with the help of the main abyss of the family, took about a day and a half to the main world of the elf."

The cabin arrived at its stop next to the Elf World and Riku had to take another Elf World carriage to go to the hidden village.

"You look happy, Alan."

"I'm back home after a long time."

"I feel a little upset because I am the reason you left your country."

Alan stroked Riku's hair and kissed his cheek gently

"Don't do this. It was my choice to leave the place."

" This is comfortable "

"We are approaching the village border."

"You know, I'm really surprised by this sight."

Riku looked out the window and still couldn't believe it

Normally, the green color of nature was blinding to Riko's eyes and the sky was clear blue and the sun was shining

But now the white color of snow has covered all places and erased all the colors from them, and the sky has been distorted by black overcast clouds filled with thunder and snow.

_

The carriage stopped at the border, where there were elf guards standing around

Alan got out of the car to identify himself in order to pass through here

"Look who came here after more than three years."

"You are still being punished, older brother."

"You disgusting one, don't call me that, I don't even know why I came back here after leaving the village because of that Omega."

"I see, you like it here, so why don't you stay longer?"

" You bastard "

"Open the gate. I have come to seek the king's blessing."

"And I was the one who said that you missed your homeland, you idiot."

"There is no one more stupid than you, the one who was manipulated into betraying the village."

" I will kill you "

"You won't be able to do it"

"Mr. Alan, we have opened the portal. We thank you for cooperating with us and we are sorry for taking up so much of your time."

"Bless your work"

Alan returned to the car and found Rico angry

Alan pinched Rico's cheeks and smiled

"Why is my prince angry?"

"What if he tries to hurt you?"

"Rico is very nice, he is worried about me."

"I don't care about the agreement between us and the elf, and if he tries to harm you, I will make sure to end it myself."

"Don't worry, Rico, he can't do anything."

"Why are you so confident?"

"He knows that I am stronger and better than him and that my father will not make any decisions without consulting me. Let's just call it an inferiority complex."

"Do you mean that you have the largest wire among the family members?"

"Yes, my father values the family's reputation before the family relationship."

"So I was more suitable in my father's eyes than an idiot like my older brother, who is only good at messing around and ruining the family's reputation."

"You must have been lonely, Alan."

Alan hugged Rico and whispered to him

"It doesn't matter anymore because I have Rico now and soon we will have children."

"Yes, that is enough for Alan and I to be happy."

The cart arrived at the village, specifically in front of a very huge tree

Interestingly, elves live in houses carved into trees

The size of the trees and the shape of the homes differed depending on the condition of each elf family

The tree where the cart stopped was very huge and belonged to the Alan family, one of the seven families responsible for protecting the Elf treasure.

It was a very huge tree, the size of an imperial palace, and it was well carved, with various flowers decorating it on all sides

It seems that a lot of care was given to this tree to take such a good shape

Alan went downstairs and knocked on the door several times before the housemaid asked who the knocker was

"From there"

" this is me Alan "

"Yes, wait a minute"

The housekeeper opened the door and bowed politely

"Welcome back, Second Young Master."

"Is my father here?"

"Yes, he just came home."

"Rita, who came here at this time?"

"It is the second young master, your honor."

"You mean Alan?"

"Yes, your honor."

"Dad, can I talk to you?"

Alan's father approached and saw his son after a long break

"Oh my little Alan, how are you?"

"I'm fine dad, how were you?"

"Don't ask me about that. I suffered a lot with your brother."

"He still does not understand his responsibilities."

"You know, it's probably impossible to change."

"I saw him and the limits seemed to suit him well."

"Even you thought so, but why don't you come in?"

"I just wanted to check on you, because I came for the king's blessing."

"You mean my son-in-law is here?"

"Yes dad"

"And if you mean blessing, does it mean that you will have a father soon?"

"Yes dad"

"I am so happy to hear this good news after a very tiring day."

"Thank you, Dad, your words touched my heart so much."

"Come in, you and your husband. It's still too early for gold so quickly."

"Thank you for receiving me, father."

"Don't say that, you are my son after all."

"Thank you again"

Alan retreated to the cart and helped Rico get off

As for Saran, he took care of the bags that were brought

After a small conversation between Alan's father and Rickon, Alan guided both Rico and Saran to his room

Alan's room was on the left side of the second floor of the house

His room was spacious and simple at the same time

Her appearance was reminiscent of a spring breeze, she perfectly represented Alan

Alan closed the door and allowed Riku to sit on the bed to get some rest, and Saran had already started arranging things and inspecting the room.

"Saaran never leaves Riku's side."

"Check if the food is poisoned, and when I am not around him, do not leave him or let him talk to anyone, whether it is a young or old child, a man or a woman."

"Do not trust anyone, especially in this house, and do not hesitate to kill anyone who tries to get closer than five steps to Rico."

"You're being too careful, Alan."

Alan grabbed Rico's hands and brought them to his face

"I'm sorry I got you into this trouble."

"What exactly is the problem?"

"Your Highness, remember that we are here outside the Manganezika Ryan family."

"What do you think of the return of one of the masters nominated for the position of head of the family with children?"

"The heir returned with heirs under him. This is what you mean."

"Please just be patient for a little while, Rico, so I can see what my father is knitting and we can finish the matter as soon as possible."

"Don't worry Alan, have you forgotten who I am?"

"Take care well, Thunder Prince, but understand, I'm still afraid you'll get hurt."

"Okay, I will follow your advice and orders here."

"Thank you, Rico."

"Saaran, tell me anything that seems strange, even the smallest details."

"Okay, I will work hard to protect His Highness and his children."

"That's good, and don't mind me because I know what to do if Riku and the kids are okay."

"Don't worry, Mr. Alan."
