The female protagonist, who had been unable to control her emotions for a long time and had been crying and laughing repeatedly, realized that she no longer had the strength to even expend her emotions and slowly opened the old door.
The father, who felt as much loss as the female protagonist, opened the door and went out, ignoring the female protagonist as she came out.
The heroine asked her father where he was going, but all she got in return was silence.
The moment the heroine poured water into a wooden cup and tried to drink it,
I heard the sharp scream of the woman next door right in front of my house.
As the female protagonist went outside without even putting down her glass of water, she saw her father, who had just been preparing to go out, hang himself from a tree and commit suicide.
The heroine dropped her glass of water at the thought of losing her beloved family, the last family she had left, and seeing the scene of her loss with her own eyes.
The female protagonist held onto her father's hand, which was losing its color, and continued to ask him questions as if denying that she had no one left.
"No...? Father, what I'm seeing right now is just a play...? That's it...? Right? Father, you're alive. It's not fun..."
The female protagonist, who had been denying reality, could not hold back her tears, and the woman next door, unable to recover from the great shock, ran back to her own house.
After burying her father's cold body next to her mother's grave, Yeoju said goodbye once and left the grave.
And the heroine who was running thought.
I feel compelled to do something I promised myself I wouldn't do.
I feel ashamed of myself for doing something I had only half-heartedly thought about.
So the heroine waited only for the day of the prince's procession.
About a week later-
The same trumpet sound and announcement of the prince's procession echoed through the village as before.
The female protagonist smiled with no emotion and ran over to stab the princess with the sword she was holding.
The prince was shaking the princess in shock, and the mistress was wiping the princess's blood-stained stool with a handkerchief.
The courtiers remained in their places, fearing that they might be retaliate against him, while the prince cried out for the life of his wife.
The Kingdom of Belita was literally thrown into chaos.
The prince was in great shock and could not come out of his room, and the heroine was locked in the kingdom's prison.
At the urging of his subjects, the prince headed to the prison where the female protagonist was imprisoned.
The heroine was out of her mind, and the moment the prince saw her, he couldn't contain his excitement and shook the iron bars.
The heroine didn't even lift a finger to that prince.
The prince, who felt that the heroine's attitude was shameless and inhumane, shouted at his subjects.
“Destroy this man’s entire family!”
But the heroine said this with a breathless smile.
"Three generations... But what should I do with this? I have no blood relatives left, and I'm on death row for murdering a royal family. Do I really have a third generation?"
The prince was speechless after hearing the heroine's words.
The prince thought this with his head down.
‘I think it’s right to execute this guy, but he looks so pitiful.’
"I feel so pathetic that I can't even kill my wife's murderer with my own hands because I'm so weak-hearted."
The female protagonist, who seemed unaware of his intentions, sat in the corner and stood up to shout.
"If you hadn't looked at me with such contempt, I wouldn't have turned into this monster. If your wife hadn't staged the whole thing, I would have stayed with my parents, and my family would still be here. Who are you blaming? Do you think I'm selfish? Yes, I am. That's why I wanted you to lose someone you love, too."
"Do you know what my mother always told me? Become the kingdom's moon and illuminate the dark nights of our Belita! She told me that every night, yet you trampled on my mother's wish and murdered her. In the end, you failed to protect the one you loved. Do you understand?"
Tears fell from the eyes of the woman who was so angry and soaked into the cold floor.
