Ending Maker Episode 452
SS #37 Kang Yu-jin (5)
“This is Elwin S Paragon.”
“Re, Regina Bayer.”
“May I ask you for the honor of joining us?”
“Father, please.”
As Eugene and Yuria walked forward alone under the gaze of the adults, Regina, standing in front of a boy who seemed to be twice as big as her – no, three times as big – had a hazy expression on her face that was a mixture of shyness, embarrassment, joy, embarrassment, and a feeling of being lost.
That’s because the moment she met the boy, Regina felt ‘destiny’.
The boy put his large arm around Regina’s waist and held her hand with the other.
The difference in height between the two was as significant as their size, so they were a perfect combination of a girl and an adult, a beauty and a beast, but the freshness felt from both of them made up for it all.
Because they just looked like a cute couple.
But Regina, the person involved, felt a little different.
This was because I felt a ‘dignity of an adult’ that I couldn’t feel from Aiden or Walter, from the boy’s large hands that covered my waist, his broad, solid chest, and his face that I had to look up at because of the height difference.
‘Adult. A real adult.’
Regina looked to be about fifteen years old thanks to her appearance that was much more mature than her peers, but at heart she was a thirteen-year-old girl.
But the boy in front of me seemed different.
Not only was his appearance good, but his clear, blue eyes gave off the maturity of an adult.
Regina’s heart pounded.
That’s because I suddenly remembered what Vivian had been chattering about.
-Women grow faster physically and mentally than men. Not by much, maybe 2 or 3 years? Anyway, that’s why the gap between men and women is bound to widen at our age.
-If it’s a gap, then a mental gap?
-Yeah, to put it simply, boys my age seem childish. That’s why it’s easy to admire older adults than peers at our age. Of course, our Walter is an exception. Walter is kind, cool, handsome, and mentally mature, so he’s not childish at all. Sometimes, it feels like I have an older brother instead of a younger brother, right? And not long ago, Walter… … .
Regina felt like she was about to burst into a bitter smile as she recalled the painful memories of Walter’s endless story, but she tried to suppress it and cut out only the necessary parts.
‘It’s easy to admire adults.’
Yeah, that’s right.
That’s probably why my heart is pounding so hard right now.
That would be the case, because the boy in front of him, Elwin, was truly mature.
A sturdy chest that makes me want to lean on it without realizing it, mature eyes, and even a gentle smile that Aiden could never make…
Regina found it difficult to continue thinking.
Because this moment with Elwin felt like a dream.
But there were no exceptions to the mighty flow of time.
As there is a beginning, there must also be an end, and the time to finish dancing has arrived.
Move one step to the side and then stop with a final push.
Regina felt like she was a little too attached, but Elwin’s strong arms felt so good, and she really wanted to rest her head on Elwin’s chest, so she was satisfied.
Moreover, I was able to see an unexpectedly cute sight.
‘It’s cute when you blush.’
Elwin was blushing and looking embarrassed, perhaps because their chests were touching due to being too close.
He seems like a total adult, but he has that boyish innocence.
If Aiden or anyone else had done that, Regina would have pushed them away immediately, but when it came to Elwin, she just thought he was cute.
‘No, but is Aiden an exception?’
Anyway, what was important right now wasn’t Aiden.
The boy in front of me.
Elwin S Paragon.
When the music ended and it was truly time to end the dance, Elwin bowed out as gracefully as he had when he first approached.
“It was an honor to be with you.”
“Me too. I, I really liked it.”
Regina, who spoke quickly and reflexively, was startled and blushed in surprise.
That’s understandable, because it was such a childish reaction.
It seems like you like something a little too obviously?
‘Oh, really!’
But the time I spent crying inside wasn’t that long.
Elwin blinked for a moment, taken aback by Regina’s reaction, but soon responded with a wonderful smile.
“I also had a great time. It’s embarrassing to say, but… … I don’t think I’ll ever forget what happened tonight.”
‘You’re so grown up!’
What an attitude, where instead of making fun of or laughing at mistakes, they actually say something even stronger to cover them up!
As expected from an adult.
A real adult.
“I, I don’t think I’ll be able to forget it either.”
When Regina answered shyly, Elwin smiled warmly, straightened his back, and bowed again.
“Let me formally introduce myself. I am Elwin S. Paragon, the first prince of the Paragon Kingdom.”
Regina screamed inwardly at the greeting from Elwin, who sounded like a knight in a love story – no, a prince.
‘Awesome! As expected of an adult! As expected of a prince!’
From the time I first discovered Elwin, I had a feeling he might be the prince of the Paragon Kingdom, but there was a considerable gap between my guess and the truth.
“I am Regina Bayer of the House of Bayer.”
Although a celebration was already taking place in her mind, Regina forced herself to calm down and paid her respects to the royal family.
Perhaps because of her flushed cheeks, it was a lovely greeting rather than an elegant one, and Elwin smiled again at Regina’s appearance, then spoke carefully while blushing as well.
“The orange juice is very refreshing. May I offer you a glass?”
Regina gulped at Elwin’s question.
It wasn’t because I was dancing that I wanted orange juice.
Because I understood the meaning behind Elwin’s words.
‘Ask me on a date?’
Now that the dance is over, instead of saying goodbye, let’s talk some more?
‘You’re so grown up!’
If it were Aiden, he would have said something rude like, “Let’s go over there and talk.”
He offers me orange juice while subtly hiding his intentions.
If Vivian had seen it from the side, she would have said, “No, he’s not mature at all. He’s childish and crude. Orange juice is so fresh, it’s so lame. If it were our Walter, he would have said something different. For example, if it were our Walter-” and would have started talking about Walter all along, but for now, she didn’t exist in this place.
Regina nodded vigorously, concluding on her own that Elwin was mature.
“Me too, uh, no! I want to drink orange juice.”
Oh no, I’m screwed.
It’s all ruined.
Why am I so childish?
If Vivian had been watching from the side, she would have started talking about Walter by saying, “You’re a kid, right? Of course, our Walter-“, but as I mentioned before, she wasn’t there.
So, Regina looked up at Elwin with concern, thinking, ‘What if I think of you as too childish?’, and Elwin turned his face to the side and bit his lip.
It wasn’t because I was disappointed in Regina.
It was hard to control his expression because Regina, who was looking up at him, was so lovely.
“Then… … I will escort you.”
“Yes? Yes, yes!”
Regina, internally cursing herself for answering so hastily this time, placed her hand on top of Elwin’s large hand, and Elwin smiled gently and guided Regina.
And Regina thought again.
‘But if you’re the first prince of Paragon… … Wait, wait, wait, wait.’
The first prince of the Paragon Kingdom.
A half-human, half-god born from the Sun Warrior Landius, one of the Paragon heroes, and the Archangel Rena.
In other words, a being similar to Regina herself, who was born between a wild god and a human and is half-human and half-god.
‘Destined for each other since birth?! Oh, no. That’s not what I was thinking about.’
Regina tried very hard to pull herself back from the thought of jumping to the side and recall the memory she had overheard and let slip.
‘Prince of Paragon, Prince of Paragon! Ah! I remember!’
It has been 11 years since the Prince of Paragon was born.
Because I was born a month after Yuria was born-
‘Wait! So you’re eleven?!’
By Korean standards, he was twelve – no, he could have even been thirteen – but by Pleiades standards, Elwin was eleven without a trace.
‘Hey, eleven years old?’
Regina looked back up at the handsome man escorting her.
As for height, it seemed like it would definitely be over 180 cm.
Regina herself was just over 150, so it couldn’t be helped considering the difference in size and height.
‘Are you really eleven?’
He’s so muscular?
I think he’s much older than Aiden?
‘Oh, no. Now that I look at it, it does seem a bit difficult.’
His airy face was still handsome and mature, but when you think of him as an eleven-year-old, you can definitely see some boyish aspects here and there.
‘Yes, eleven years old.’
You’re not an adult?
Rather, he was my younger brother.
You said he was younger than me, not my older brother.
‘Well, maybe it’s because he’s mature?’
When Vivian preached about Walter’s maturity, Regina insisted, “Well, he’s only twelve years old!” But this time, she decided to support Vivian’s theory.
But it was at that very moment.
“It’s okay! Eugene is probably a gentleman!”
“to?”
Regina turned her head in surprise at the sudden shout from Yuria.
balcony.
Yuria kicks off the balcony attached to the wall and throws herself towards the night sky, and the boy in her arms.
‘Wait, hug?!’
It’s not that Yuria is hugging you, it’s that Yuria is hugging you?
‘Oh, no. That’s not important right now.’
Yuria, who had kicked off the balcony and soared high into the sky, disappeared into light.
It was clear that there had been a space jump.
“Hey, gentleman? You’re a gentleman, so it’s okay? Ha, but maybe?”
To Regina, it was a shock in itself to see the world’s best Yuder speaking like a broken doll.
Because he’s always been the perfect older brother.
‘Oh, anyway, what is it? What happened?’
Regina wasn’t the only one who was confused.
The whole hall was in an uproar at the sudden turn of events, and people gathered around Yuder.
Maia and Dahlia.
Cordelia and guests who seem to have come from the East.
and-
‘Oh, uncle, I’m angry!’
The Count of Chase.
Regina flinched at his appearance with his eyes wide open, and so did Vivian, who was watching with excited eyes from afar.
“Find it. Definitely. By any means necessary.”
Count Chase spoke, and Uther nodded heavily.
Those two are together.
Those two have the same mind.
Regina swallowed dryly, feeling afraid without realizing it.
But it was at that very moment.
“Love’s… … escape?”
Elwin said.
No, it wasn’t just Elwin.
Several people in the hall simultaneously said the same thing.
Love’s escape.
A specialty of the Kingdom of Seilun.
A must-see course for couples with history and tradition.
“Love’s escape, huh?”
“As expected of a princess of a sacred country. This is truly a fiery escape.”
“I think I saw a scene like that in ‘It’s a Political Marriage, but I Want to Love Passionately.’”
All over the place, women began to whisper, and so did the men.
That’s because, thanks to some people, ‘love’s escape’ has become a very common occurrence in the Kingdom of Cailun.
“You reap what you sow, you reap what you sow. You did it, you.”
As Scarlett clicked her tongue and spoke, Cordelia smiled awkwardly, and Uther began to examine the traces of magic with fearful eyes.
And Elwin and Regina-
“That’s very generous. I’m a little… … envious.”
“Huh? Well, then we too… … Ah, no. Let’s go drink some orange juice.”
“Yes, let’s go have a drink.”
They went to drink orange juice while laughing happily, and Landius and Lena, who were watching them from afar, smiled warmly.

“I’ve arrived.”
