The princes were sitting at the table, the king was trying to understand what was going on as the atmosphere at that moment wasn't good. Hyunjin just ate quietly and sometimes looked at his brother who had not opened his mouth at any time, this made the king worried as what Jisung most likes to do is talk.
— Dad, we have something to say... — Jisung starts, looking at his brother who shook his head saying he was there for him.
— What happened? — The king asks.
— I was in the attic and... I found a box with some letters from mom... — Jisung didn't even need to finish talking, Christopher already knew where it was going.
— You found out, didn't you? — The princes stated and Christopher sighed. — I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but your mother said that Jisung had gotten used to it so she didn't want to tell the truth. Sung, I want to make it very clear that I have always considered you my son, I love you so much no matter what, ok?
— I know, I won't stop considering you my father and Hyun my brother. But the problem is... Dad, as I'm not from royalty I won't be able to take the throne since I don't have royal blood, and I don't want to change that because... I don't want to be a king, you know? You know I've never been comfortable with all this attention and stuff, so... I hope you understand.
— Is that what you were trying to tell? Son, I only think about your happiness, and if you prefer it that way, that's fine, I just want the best for you.
— Since you commented on happiness, dad... How would you react if I said I'm... dating a commoner? — Jisung asks more nervous than before, he couldn't stand to hide what he felt for Minho anymore so it was more than right for him to tell at once.
— Is it Lee Minho? The Lee's eldest son, I know them, they have a place not far from here. With the little I know about the boy, he seems to be very hardworking and apparently likes you a lot son, I want you to be happy so if you really love this boy, stay with him. — Christopher speaks opening a smile and receiving a hug from his son. — You didn't need to be so afraid to tell me, you wouldn't be the first royal to date someone from a lower class.
— What do you mean? — Hyunjin speaks for the first time at the table. He and Jisung didn't know anyone from royalty who had ever had a romantic relationship with someone from a lower class.
— The queen, your mother was a commoner. Her parents were unemployed so she supported them with the little money she received by selling candy, I met her at an important event in town, her smile won me over at first, when I realized, I was already in love and wow... That messed me up a lot, I remember that we had a lot of discussions at the beginning because we were so different, mainly because I didn't want to take up dating because of my parents. When I took the throne, I didn't think twice about asking her to marry me, and you two already know the rest.
— Mom was a commoner? For this I did not expect. — Jisung speaks surprised.
They talked more leaving only Hyunjin more and more thoughtful, does it mean his father has gone through the same thing as him? Christopher had also been confused with his feelings, did he deny what he felt too?
Whatever it was, in the end they got together and lived next to each other for years, would Hyunjin have the same luck?
