A Midsummer Night's Dream (free serial)

05: Bandit

여주하

Reveal who you are

여주하

!

At that moment, a blade entered my neck.

산적

Just follow me quietly

My neck was slightly cut and blood flowed.

It didn't hurt, compared to this level of pain

It's nothing compared to all the humiliation I experienced in the palace.

I continued to go deeper into the forest.

Led by the bandits, without even knowing where the destination was

If I opened my mouth here, this time I might really lose my neck.

So I decided to just follow along silently for now.

I was wondering what on earth these guys were thinking when they kidnapped me.

산적

It's a stepping stone bridge. It's slippery, so hold on to your skirt and follow me.

산적

Don't even think about doing anything stupid.

여주하

..(nod)

산적

I told you to be quiet, but you listened well.

산적

If the princess opens her mouth, the princess's army might come to get me.

산적

So keep quiet

ㆍㆍㆍ

How long did it take?

Crossing the dark forest

My silk skirt was torn to pieces

His arms and legs were covered in wounds from brushing against twigs.

The hair that was neatly braided was all messed up.

Hwaaaaak- (light comes on)

As I came out of the forest path, a bright light shone on me.

여주하

(Hey, is this... a mountain...?)

It was all mountains... If it was mountains...

Here...

산적

We finally arrived

산적

Welcome to the Ming Dynasty

여주하

(Is this the name..?)

산적

Oh, you can speak now.

산적

Did you keep your mouth shut the whole time because I told you not to talk earlier?

산적

I thought she was a poisonous princess, but she has a cute side too.

산적

Anyway, there are about 50 steps left to the destination.

Thud- thud-

산적

They're all here

여주하

cave..?

산적

This is where we live

여주하

Are you talking about the bandits..?!

여주하

I'm going to the bandits' den now..!

여주하

No, why did you bring me here?

산적

Well, to get to the point, I heard the princess was sent to Prince Myeongui.

산적

Our bandits are on terrible terms with Prince Myeongui.

산적

So the princess went to Prince Myung-ui and said she couldn't stand to see the prince happy.

여주하

For that very reason...

여주하

So what are you going to do with me now?

산적

The princess died in a bandit attack.

여주하

what..?

산적

I'm going to free you from your status as a boring princess.

여주하

how..?

산적

We live like bandits.

여주하

ㅁ,what?!!

여주하

Ha, but I don't like bad things!

산적

You'll have to adapt if you want to survive.

산적

We hate nobles

산적

If you want to remain a princess, you have no choice but to die here.

여주하

But, I lack the physical strength, skills, and martial arts to be a bandit..!

Puck- (kicking Juha in the stomach)

여주하

Ouch! (falls backwards)

It was such a powerful force, I thought my stomach was going to burst for a moment.

여주하

Ugh...what are you doing..!

산적

Are you being this joking?

산적

Our bandits will complete their goals even if they have to put a knife to their throat.

산적

You need to get stronger, princess.

산적

No, I'm new now

여주하

How dare you ask the princess...

Sreung- (pulls out a knife)

산적

Are you still unable to give up your princess status?

여주하

..Oh, no, I'll throw it away!

산적

Well then, I guess we should change the way we talk to each other from now on.

여주하

what..?

두목

I'm the boss here and from now on just call me boss

두목

From now on, you will be speaking to me politely, right?

두목

Yeojuha, you are a new member of the bandit gang.

여주하

…

두목

No answer?

여주하

..All right

두목

You're still too weak to live as a bandit with us.

두목

Hey, come here and get some new recruits

???

Did you call?

두목

From now on, you'll be in charge of him. You'll take responsibility for him and raise him well so he can be useful to our group.

두목

Because he was a precious person who was a flower in a greenhouse, he was raised to be rough and strong.

두목

Just like I did to you

두목

Make him strong as fast as possible and bring him to me

???

Yes, boss

두목

Newbie, you should say hello too. He hasn't been here long, but he's a senior who will be teaching you from now on.

두목

Unlike you, a weak newbie, he had overwhelming martial arts skills from the moment he came in, so I accepted him right away.

여주하

Hello

여주하

!

두목

What's with that expression?

이지훈

!

The prince who was said to have disappeared stands before me now.

And that prince who hated me so much

Cheers and comments are polite💫
