Chapter 4 Ecclesiastes Part [-]

Brother David's life issues are resolved, but the root cause of their conflict is not.

Ethan launched the riots to protest that his hometown was given to the enemy as a bargaining chip in a political deal, and David supported the king because the king was fully committed to promoting peace and avoiding more death and bloodshed.

King Silas paid a high price for peace with Gath. The cession of territory was the most criticized policy since he came to the throne. Even so, there were still twists and turns.The crisis in Gath's internal affairs was passed on to Gilboa because of the urgent need for peace.

Jack asked for his order, the king agreed, and sent David to go with him.

This is the first time Jack and David have fought side by side, even though they have fought on a war-torn front.

David couldn't help but glance at Jack as he drove to Gath and crossed the front line that had once been covered by gunpowder smoke.

Jack asked flatly, "What are you thinking?"

David hesitated for a moment before he was sure that Jack was asking himself, because Jack didn't turn his head to look at him, but stared straight ahead, David replied: "I was thinking that I didn't see you when I was at the front, if I knew you earlier Enough."

He did have some joy in saying that, Jack has taken care of him so far, from lending him a suit for a party to saving his brother's life.

Before getting acquainted with Jack, David felt that only Michelle, who was always caring about vulnerable civilians, was trustworthy, but after getting acquainted, David recalled his past dealings with Jack, which cast a bright color on his memory.

Jack didn't answer, and David didn't care, but he turned his head by chance, only to find that Jack was staring out of the window on the other side, pursing his lips, his face was expressionless, and his eyes looked focused.

David immediately knew that Jack was in a bad mood again. Even though he had known him for a short time, David had already learned that His Royal Highness was no less moody than ladies, and learned not to make trouble when Jack was in a bad mood.

The apparent leader of the mission was David, who was appointed as a representative to reaffirm the peace agreement at Gilboa because of his diplomatic experience with Gath, while the secret leader was Jack, who was ordered to lead the team deep into the hinterland of Gath to eradicate the rebellion Molecular leader Beria.

Something went wrong in the middle of the mission. Gath asked for help from Gilboa because the government was infiltrated, and every move was leaked, but apparently Gilboa also leaked the news. Two team members died and one was injured. David urged to go back and ask for help. , Jack insisted on moving on.

Jack's stubbornness surprised David, and he had to let the wounded return alone to catch up with Jack who wanted to go deep alone.

With the cooperation of the two, they successfully captured Beria and captured him alive.David's discovery made it impossible for them to execute Beria on the spot and then sneak back lightly. There are Gath-style ordnance in the Beria camp, and someone in Gath is collaborating with the enemy.

Or, is this not collaborating with the enemy?Because the governments of both countries now want to sign a peace agreement on the negotiated terms, the two forces secretly joining forces want to continue the war.

In order to bring the survivors back to the country, David went to a nearby farm to steal a car, and Jack stayed in the temporary wooden house to guard the prisoners. Under Jack's beating, Beria did not reveal the names of his accomplices, but the story of the Bible:

"Once upon a time there were two brothers, Cain and Abel, the first great-grandsons of God. The evil Cain killed the innocent Abel just out of jealousy, but he later became the ancestor of mankind, so, in the appearance of courtesy And we are all children of Cain."

These words are very accurate and deeply poked Jack's hidden wounds, because his father's request he is forcing himself to become indifferent, harsh, mean, and more efficient than he imagined, from the words of the Beria fanatics, he I saw his appearance, the past he distorted and abandoned, the present he was unwilling to face and admit, and the future he feared and loathed.

Beria firmly believes that in war, new and beautiful things will be born, and Utopia will eventually be established. No matter how many corpses are in the foundation of the dream kingdom, what makes him unbearable is that Beria insists that everyone, including Jack and David Wei are brothers.

No one can be David, the man he loathes and admires, longs for and fears, though there are feelings in it that Jack may never want to admit for the rest of his life.

When David came back, he just came to stop the enraged Jack from strangling Beria to death. The furious Jack was pulled away by him, and he punched him in the face, and then knocked him down with two punches, his eyes red. Hitting him, and punching him twice, David almost fainted before he stopped suddenly.

Then Jack leaned over, buried his face in David's collar, and remained still for a long time.

At the beginning, the two punches on David's head were hard enough, and David was dizzy, and it took him a while to regain his sanity.He thought that Jack just had a bad temper, but just now there was a heart that Jack really wanted to kill him.

He really...has never seen Jack so volatile again, one moment he's surprised to find that Jack wants to kill him, the next moment, Jack is on his shoulders, looking like he's in so much pain and needs comfort child.

Even if Jack refused to look up, David knew that Jack was crying.

Jack never made a sound, and David didn't make a sound or move.

Until David's dizziness completely subsided, they got up and sat down to watch the night. David sat at the junction of the inner and outer rooms of the cabin and stared at Beria. Jack leaned against the wall next to the outer door and stared at the gate. Jack Only then did he speak again.

The prince's voice was low: "You thought you saved my life when I was taken hostage, but in fact...you ruined it."

He didn't care about David behind him. He didn't know what kind of eyes David was looking at him. In fact, although he didn't want to admit it, he always cared. He didn't know when he always pretended to be friendly and sincere in front of David. This time he didn't want to care.

Jack said, "If I had died in Gath, I would have been a hero, and you should have left me alone and let me die."

David said softly, "No."

Jack ignored him. His life has been turned upside down since the capture. David's sudden appearance made him feel that the territory he lived on was shrinking. Thinking of the pain since then, he gritted his teeth until his cheeks ached. , but he was unwilling to reveal it easily, and tried his best to maintain a steady voice, "Now everyone in the country knows your name, and under your background, I gradually become... nothing."

David had never known that Jack cared about this, and he had to admit he was a little disappointed, more surprised, that he didn't know that Jack was so lonely and scared, and he was pretty sure there was no mercy in it.

He instinctively felt that it would be too pathetic for him to pity Jack.David just said, "You're a prince, Jack."

Jack said absently, "I'm not as...so good as you think."

After this night's outburst, David had already thought about it, and he just now realized that although he helped him a few times, Jack's performance in front of him was really not good in general. This discovery made David feel a little more relaxed : "It's okay, I trust you"

He said very seriously: "I believe in the king, you are the next king."

Jack pulled out a negative and sarcastic laugh in the darkness where no one could see: "Will you swear allegiance to me?"

David promises: "In the future, I will."

Jack said lazily, "Come and kiss my hand."

David leaned over, and instead of kissing Jack's hand, he reached over his shoulder, pulled his chin, and kissed his lips.

Jack tilted his head meekly and kissed him.

There has never been such a gentle and peaceful kiss between them. After a long time, David let go of Jack and smiled slightly: "Let's go home."

The way home was not peaceful. They were shot by their own army at the border of Shiloh city. It was due to General Ebner's order trap that General Ebner wanted to kill them. The gun is removed from the holster, and before he can shoot Jack, David shoots him dead.

Fortunately, Jack's popular face is the most effective pass, and the soldiers recognized his identity.

It was only after they returned to the capital that they understood the cause of the incident. General Ebner was a tough fighter and the plague crisis that the capital had just experienced during their absence. The last suspected patient waiting to be confirmed was Princess Michelle.

Jack and David were received by the king side by side in the church. Jack was honored by his father for the first time in his life. Even with David, the last words left by the king before he left were to pray for his sister.

The king left, but Jack and David still stood in the church, facing the candlelight side by side.

Jack exhaled and said, "This is the first time you have killed someone. It's not easy. It makes your blood change color and your conscience is condemned. You did it to save me."

David wondered if this is what Jack felt. In the Lord’s abode on earth, in the candlelight lit by the believers, David did feel that he had not misread Jack in the past. David replied: “I told myself, I have nothing else. choose."

Jack's voice was soft and hoarse: "There are always choices."

So David said, "You don't owe me anything."

And Jack finally turned to look at him: "Two choices, do you want to do it again?"

Even though the heavy atmosphere hadn't dissipated, David still wanted to laugh: "Is this an invitation?"

Jack raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let's have a drink together and pray for my sister."

They went to Jack's private villa to drink together. The room last time, the freezer last time, drank the second bottle. Jack received a text message from the palace housekeeper Thomasina. He looked up and told David: "My sister is fine."

David's Adam's apple twitched and said, "Congratulations to her."

After all, Michelle is the girl he fell in love with, she is also the princess of a country, Jack's family.

He was looking at Jack at the moment, and the two of them looked at each other. The air was slightly drunk with alcohol. Wars, natural disasters, and almost broken conflicts all made them extremely tired, but what they needed was not only rest, but also venting.

Jack stared at David, turned his wrist, and the phone slipped from his fingers. They stood up almost at the same time, their chests bumped into each other, and they rolled onto the bed together.
