(This story continues from Season 2 Episode 8.)
The next day, which I hope will never come even if I die
Whatever you do, it will come.
The bright moonlight pretended not to know the emperor's mind.
It's gradually disappearing.
And the Emperor doesn't have much time left.
"Your Majesty, this is the Prime Minister."
I don't know if you know the emperor's heart or not.
The white tiger cautiously came to find the emperor.
"Make yourself comfortable, what brings you here?"
"I thought you didn't know."
"...what,"
"That guy Minhyun is going to study abroad.
And you too... want to follow."
"How about that,"
"I heard about studying abroad directly from Minhyun.
But your doctor said it once and it was right."
The emperor's heart sank and he was
I blamed myself for forgetting Baekho's brilliant mind.
"You are clearly my enemy."
Baekho continued speaking in a resigned voice.
"But why did I like you?"
"...."
"It's annoying that you don't look at me."
Baekho was sitting there trying to smile
I got up from the chair.
"Don't worry, Confucius.
The Marchioness and I will raise him well.
Confucius also liked the Marquis.
I've made up my mind.
Madame Marchioness, you seem like a better person than I thought.
The government, too, seems to be able to do something."
The emperor was surprised by the unexpected words that came out of Baekho's mouth.
I was surprised, but my heart didn't hurt like before.
It seemed like he was getting used to the change.
"I'm going to punish that kid.
"After I'm punished, let me go into the government."
But the person I love all my life has changed
The emptiness and futility caused by this did not go away.
Of course, I was happy every time I saw Minhyun
As Baekho kept coming to mind, a feeling of emptiness welled up from somewhere.
He wanted to punish the Marchioness, the mastermind behind this incident.
"Shouldn't you do that?"
Baekho said something unexpected again.
"What? Why?"
"I like the Marchioness.
Even while holding you earlier, and even while talking to you now
"The Marchioness comes to mind."
Only then did the emperor understand.
Why was Baekho's gaze directed at him as cold as before?
Why is it that saying you like yourself is in the past tense?
Above all, he seemed to be fine.
As if looking at a white tiger.
"Minhyun followed me and went to study abroad,
"Leave the empire to me. You have this dependable chancellor-"
Baekho tried to lighten the mood by smiling brightly,
The emperor's face was still dark.
"Now I don't care,
Fortunately, I don't like you."
Baekho tried to reassure the emperor even a little.
I tried to say at least a little bit.
"That kid... you're not going to punish him, are you?"
The emperor opened the window and looked up at the high night sky.
After barely holding back the tears that were about to flow, I opened my mouth.
"I won't punish you."
Then he looked back and answered with a faint smile.
"Let's meet again sometime in the future."
Baekho also smiled in relief.
"Okay, take care of yourself."
-
'Now the empire will be completely mine.'
Len, who was eavesdropping on the conversation through the crack in the door, thought with a smile.
'Thank you for doing as I say, Baekho.
In fact, I would love the Emperor.'
Ren turned around with a bright smile as if he was satisfied.
His plan was perfect.
The tyrant released the poison.
