In the cold winter, with heavy snowfall, Henry II knelt naked in front of Becket's tomb and endured the whipping.
He braced himself and straightened his back, refusing to bow his head under the torture. Because once upon a time, the person in the tomb said to him: You are a king, you must hold up the sky for your subjects, and you must not give in to difficulties.
When he said this, Henry II was nestled in the arms of young Becket, staring at the blazing fire in the distance, feeling warm both body and heart.
Ten years later, in order to consolidate the power of the royal family, Henry II sent people to kill Archbishop Becket and canonized his former lover as a saint, causing his body and flesh to be eaten by all people after his death.
…
Henry sighed, looked at the scarlet color slowly covered with white snow, and clicked to exit the game page.
This was the seventh time, and he still couldn't save Archbishop Becket.
Henry threw the phone on the table irritably and drank the remaining whiskey in the glass.
It was obviously just a game, but he didn't understand why he was so persistent.
…
At night, Henry slept very restlessly.
When he woke up from his dream with a low growl, he saw Beckett lying next to him, looking at him with a look of reluctance.
Beckett: "You're having a nightmare again."
Henry looked at him blankly, not knowing where he was for a moment.
Beckett: "Don't worry, I will go to Canterbury in three days... To take over as archbishop."
There were tears in the man's eyes when he said this, and the water stung Henry's heart, so he blurted out without thinking:
"Don't go... You will die..."
"But if you don't go, you will die, my king."
After finishing speaking, Beckett took Henry's hand and kissed the back of his hand like a devout believer.
