The depiction of a sad love has made it popular, and 15 volumes have been released in total. It is a sad and moving story. In this article, we will introduce one of the characters that appears in "Queen's Flower", "Seitetsu". Seiitetsu is a very handsome man and is very popular with readers, but what kind of character is he?
What kind of character is Seiitetsu?
Aoteru is a very popular character in "Queen's Flower" and one of the key people in the story. The story would not have progressed without Aoteru. At first, he appeared as an arrogant merchant. Then he met the main characters Aki and Hakusei, and when they were 8 years old, he taught them the six arts of etiquette, archery, writing, and mathematics. This event was a great help to them, so we can see that Aoteru's achievements are very great. He has taught them and guided them for many years.
What is Aoteru's true identity?
Seitetsu appeared as a merchant. However, his true identity was "Seigai", the second son of the Sei family, a prestigious family of the Yellow Kingdom. Seigai became an attendant to the Yellow Princess when he was 10 years old. In fact, this Yellow Princess is the future Yellow Princess and the mother of Princess Ah. At first, Seigai hated the royal family, but after becoming an attendant to the Yellow Princess, he became involved with her and began to change his mind. From then on, he swore absolute loyalty to her. However, that loyalty turned into love.
They tried to elope, but...
The Yellow Princess also had feelings for Seigai. However, Huanghi was to marry into the Kingdom of Ya. The night before, Qing Gai and Huanghi were planning to elope together, but Huanghi did not show up at the appointed meeting place. In the end, Qing Gai became a servant to Huanghi (Huanghi), who became the official wife of Ya. It's a very sad turn of events. Not only that, but his loyalty to Huanghi turned out to be in vain, and rumors spread that Qing Gai was Huanghi's lover. Huanghi thought of Qing Gai, and as a result, he sent him back to the Kingdom of Yellow.
The relationship between Qing Che (Qing Gai) and Huanghi is so heartbreaking!
Even though they loved each other, Seitetsu (Seigai) and Kihi could not be together. However, several years later, Seigai received a cloth from Asia. On the cloth was a graffiti he had drawn at the meeting place when they had previously tried to elope. It turned out that Kihi had come to the meeting place.
He goes to Asia to pick her up, but...
Soon after, Seigai went to Asia to pick up Kihi. However, there he found Kihi looking very haggard. He tried to elope for the second time, but was stopped when Seigai's real brother, Seiitsu, slashed his left eye. This was the reason why Seigai hid his left eye.
Seigai is considered dead
So Seigai, the second son of the Ao family, was considered dead. He took the new name Seitetsu and became a merchant in Asia, with no connection to Seiitsu or Seigai. There, he met Aki and Usuhoshi in his shop. Usuhoshi, who was still young and had decided that Aki was the "master he must protect," saw himself as a child and taught Usuhoshi the six paths and Aki culture.
Aotetsu's final moments are heartbreaking
Aotetsu has had many heartbreaking episodes up to this point, but the final scene was also heartbreaking. Aki is sent to Yellow as a hostage in the first episode of the story. After that, Aotetsu's subordinates who had been hiding in Amiya are captured, and after being summoned to Yellow, they are sent from Yellow to A to avoid a war with A. However, a coup d'état by Earth Princess occurs in A, and Aki is caught up in it. He is driven to the brink of death, but he crushes Earth Princess' left eye and dies.
