As soon as they were in front of the castle a terrible commotion happened; they found corpses of the soldiers hovering at the castle entrance. Agust sense a powerful magic from inside of the castle exactly in the king’s throne room as they ran into the castle..

Agust heard a faint yet fierce shout from inside of the throne room. He knew this voice; it's too familiar to not recognize. With one hefty kicked from Jin , the massive door was wide opened and in the middle of the room the murderer magician was strangling the king with one hand while another hand was holding a rather slender and sharp knife, blood trickling down his right hand. Meanwhile, Agust’s father, the mighty king, was limping in the murderer’s grasp, skin slowly turning sickly green from lack of oxygen flowing into his lungs. Agust without a hint of fear went straight to the murderer..

“He is- “ Agust about to complete his monologue when Jin’s trembling voice fills the room. “Hope! I knew it was you. Why? Why would you do this?” Jin said. Randa can’t believe his eyes. His long-lost brother, who abandoned them, is right in front of him, alive and well, but he did not expect to reunite in this heavy situation. two centuries ago, Hope had run away from the Elven Royal Court as he despised the Elven King more than anything else..

He thought that the Elven king only used them for his own benefit and never actually cares for them. The longer he lives in the kingdom, the more he felt it was suffocating. He decided to leave the kingdom and his brothers behind and to take revenge on the king of Vahl for their dead parents. Before he departed, he pleaded to the Elven king to allow him to seek revenge but the Elven king firmly disagreed to his pleas, so Hope, without thinking twice, fled to nowhere far from the suffocating kingdom..

Jin and Randa, with trembling eyes, linger on their brother’s pale porcelain complexion with that skinny frame. He looks like someone who never takes care of himself for over years. His eyes look dead inside like there is no more purpose for him to hold for his dear life. Jin vividly recalls two centuries ago, Hope and their parents went out, but he came back all alone without their parents and the day before he disappeared, his face looked tense and he couldn't concentrate at all..

Hope lets out a low, menacing laugh. “The king and the queen do not deserve to live in this world. I cannot forgive such a woman to marry a man who gave order to kill her own kind. Shameless woman,” “Hope this is not a right way to solve these problems,” Randa pleaded “Then how? People who are dead won’t come back Randa , Death is the best way for them to replenish their atonement or are you going to forgive them? Kind? Mercy? That’s why our parents are dead Randa ! Do not ever forget that!” Jin and Randa were stunned, their brains started to betray them.They could say nothing. Randa’s eyes were red, ready for a droplet of tears to fall down his cheek while Jin's mouth fell agape trying so hard to retort..

While this heart-breaking scene unfolding, Agust and Taebi sneakily went behind Hope, making him surprised and trampled over his own feet, Agust took this chance to cast a powerful magic to hold him down, he swore at the moment he was so grateful that Jie and Tiger taught him this magic spell..

Agust’s face was red from rage. He used all of his strength to punch Hope while yelling at his face, telling him how his mother tried to defend the witches and magicians, he even explained that his mother planned to make a fake body as their replacement to save them but they refused, scared if their beloved children will be discovered by the king..

The brothers broke down to tears from the painful truth. Hope too was sobbing really hard after Agust released his grip from his neck. The brothers ran toward their injured sibling, having an emotional reunion. Agust watched from afar while walking toward his father. He observed the shallow breathing. He mentally prepared to accept the death, but he tried to use his healing magic to save his father, but it was useless..

Two years after the tragic accident, Everything went back to normal. After the death of the late king, Agust became the new king of Vahl . He has banned the stupid rule of executing magic practitioners and witches. Vahl has changed since Agust took over, the kingdom now is welcomed for everyone to come in and out, no longer a kingdom with discrimination between different kind. People of Vahl look more joyful compared to what he remembered back then when the town was always gloomy and dark, but now it is always lively even in the middle of the night. The people here live in harmony..

As Agust became the king, Taebi became the king’s most trusted advisor and right-hand man, diligently helping Agust with paperworks and meetings, also teasing Agust from time to time as he said Agust looks more mature and reliable. When he had a day off, they usually spotted Taebi relaxing in the flower garden, sunbathing in his midnight black dragon form. People outside of the castle freaked out every time they saw the dragon, but to people within the castle Taebi was a likeable creature..

Jie and Tiger became the royal court official magic trainers. They received permission to open up an academy to train children, beginner magic practitioners and higher level, also selling official magic potions in a shop near the town. Agust also hired them as heads general of royal military because of their admirable abilities in magic..

Meanwhile, Jin , Hope and Randa worked as healers in Agust’s royal court, with Jin as the head healer in royal court and Randa , who was famous for his exceptional healing skills and amazing talent for making antidote potions. At the beginning, hope was awkward whenever Agust and the gang were around, but he slowly warmed up to their presence in no time. Hope now is a very cheerful and happy, different from back then. His love-shaped smile and his eyes now carry light in them. All the kids in the kingdom adore him. They will approach him every time he visited the town because of his friendly and warm personality..

Agust and Taebi have the closest relationship as they went through many hardships together. Sometimes they were like best friend and other times they looked like siblings who enjoyed teasing each other. Agust looks up to Hope as if he was his older brother, to him, Hope always showed his cool side whenever they have to work together, giving him advice and tips on many aspects. Jie and Tiger love to hang out in Agust’s office when they are done with their work with a silly excuse they were afraid Agust will be bored without them. Jin and Randa will also came once a day to check on the hardworking king, making sure he did not skip his meal and taking the vitamins they made..

After Agust took the throne, he created a tradition for the seven higher ups to have dinner thrice every week together. Once again, they were having dinner in the castle’s dining room. The room was full of their lively chatter and jokes but sometimes Agust found the jokes lame, he will just rolled his eyes and giggled. They also will take turns talking about their days or telling the others any issues that they had in mind..

Agust ate silently, listening attentively to his royal officers, which now his new family. Agust looked up from his plate. The huge, beautiful portrait of his late mother caught his eyes, he felt like the portrait was staring at him lovingly, telling him to live his life with no regret. At first he thought he was imagining things, but the gaze looked too real. He smiled.“You can rest well, mother. Don’t worry about me, I have them now” Taebi shouldered Agust with a knowing eyes and big smile on his face.“Welcome home, King Agust ”.
