Rui entered the room with her brother.
"Ah, Rui come here son" Julia asked her son.
Rui approached and sat down beside her mother. His father still looks tense as well as Karin who sits next to his father.
"Then, what was the reason I was called here" asked Rui.
His father still remained silent, he still hesitated to tell him the reason. Her mother looked a little tense looking at Rui and her father looking at each other.
"I" he said doubtfully.
Karin held her father's hand which was still slightly trembling and nodded to reassure his father.
"It's okay - what father, just say it" said Karin.
Then August took a deep breath and began to speak.
"I want us to go back to being a family like before" said August
Hearing that Rui fell silent, inwardly there was still a pain about how his father had not admitted him as a child as well as what his father had said to his mother.
"really presumptuous. After what you used to do to your own son, you easily asked to come back as before. Aren't you ashamed of yourself" Julia replied.
Karin who heard that, looked very sad. Moreover, he witnessed how every day his father regretted his actions and did not live his life properly even until his body was now very thin.
"Mother" he said.
Seeing her brother who looks very sad Rui finally dares to come talk.
"For me, the family is there to support each other. A father who bears the cost of his family's life. Mother who takes care of and educates her children. A sister who always guides her child. Am I lacking in that?" said Rui who made everyone go silent.
"No, I got it all without any flaws in my life. Then what will I complain about. Lie if I don't save the heartache of everything that's happened. But I will not hinder the happiness of my brother who wants to regroup into a family just because of my selfishness. So, I will accept all my mother's decisions" Rui smiled at her brother.
Hearing what his sister said, Karin was moved and bowed with tears.
His father also did not think that his son who he had been in vain - let alone so strong and breastfed in making decisions for the sake of his family without concern for his own feelings.
Julia looks proud of the words of her son. He did not expect that his son's mind was that mature in making decisions.
"It's not fair. Why did you leave everything to Mom. If I refuse it will be seen that only the mother is childish" Julia said, stroking her son's hair.
Julia turned her head and looked seriously at her ex-husband.
"But before that, there's nothing you have to say to us" Julia told August.
August understood what Julia was saying. Without hesitation, he woke up and immediately prostrated an apology to Julia and Rui.
"Ma_forgive me. I'm sorry for everything I've done in the past. I apologize for throwing you out Rui. I'm sorry to doubt that you're my own flesh and blood" August began to tear up.
" I'm sorry that I've been an irresponsible husband to you Julia, sorry for accusing you of being so cruel. Sorry for making all three of you suffer. I'm sorry, I'm sorry" August's cry became - so.
Julia held onto her husband's shoulder and helped him stand up. She hugged her ex-husband. Karin also hugged her mother and father and continued to cry happily. Rui hesitated to embrace because it was a little embarrassing, but Karin pulled her arm and her father hugged Rui too.
That was the end of their family split. But after that, August goes to Eliot and his father Julia and apologizes for everything. His grandfather Rui was very reluctant to accept all that, but because Rui and Julia had already accepted everything and forgiven him he was finally willing to forgive him, as well as elliot.
After that, Rui returned to the palace throne room because his presence had been waited by the emperor and other nobles to make a decision about what had been done by Zanaf and Albert.
"We've been waiting for you sir" said everyone there bowing their respects to Rui.
Rui stood in front of the two people who had been set to be executed to the next day. Rui looked at the two of them without the slightest expression. Then the queen of Anastasya ran to Rui's front and immediately knelt down and begged forgiveness for her son.
"Master, honorable hero lord. I'm not here as Queen or as a noble. But I am before you as a mother who asks for your generosity to forgive the actions of my only son. If you want, I can give up my life instead" Anastasya said in tears before Rui.
Seeing his mother willing to humble himself to such an extent, Albert was truly sorry for what he did. To tarnish his family's good name and even do such despicable deeds.
"Enough, stop defending your guilty son" the emperor said.
However Rui held onto the queen's shoulder and asked her to stand up.
"Stand, your honor. You don't deserve to beg me like this" he said helping her up.
"Prince Albert, stand up" Rui said.
Albert stood up and stared at Rui still looking sad because he regretted making his mother like that.
"It's okay - what noble Albert. I forgive you for everything you did to me. Songs anyway, the poison is nothing to me who has received 3 hero weapons. Somehow, my body was strengthened and also immune to poison. So I ask that these two people be canceled from their execution" said Rui who looked at the emperor.
Hearing that, the emperor became relieved. Apparently he also thought the same thing with Anastasya, in order to help his son, he would also risk his life in exchange.
But the Emperor did not just release the two men even though the hero had forgiven him.
"Alright, since the hero has forgiven him and asks that they both be forgiven then I will grant it. But for 2 years, they will be expelled and their titles as nobles will be temporarily removed until the sentence ends" said the emperor firmly.
"Tu_wait for the noble" said Anastasya trying to stop the emperor.
But Albert held his mother's shoulders and accepted all the emperor's decisions.
"No mother, this is the right decision. I admire my father as such a fair leader. So I accepted everything as proof of my regret. So, I asked that you wait for my return" Prince Albert smiled.
Anastasya hugged her son and continued to cry.
"And to hero lord Rui. I'm very grateful for your generosity" said the prince, lowering his head.
Then Zanaf and Prince Albert were exiled from the imperial capital and lived as commoners. But Zanaf received only 1 year of exile and his title as duke would be stripped and dropped as a baron.
The next day, Rui was asked to come to the detention room. Inside the cell, Rui sees the prisoners who once rebelled for being tricked by a fake hero. Rui was asked to make a decision about the criminals who had been appointed as the dead defendants.
