An important being, but one that will be forgotten over time: the king.
Suicide (1)
영의정
What? Are you saying the king is really contemplating suicide?
내관
That is correct, Your Majesty.
영의정
Hahaha! Things will get easier! The king is killing himself...haha!
영의정
Yeah... I'll make you want to die even more... haha!
영의정
Taehyung! Follow me. Let's go to Geunjeongjeon.
김태형
Yes, father.
내관
Your Majesty, I have heard of the video!
전정국
...come in.
전정국
What's going on at this hour?
영의정
When would I have time to see Your Majesty? I have come here today to introduce my son.
영의정
Taehyung, please greet me. It is His Majesty the King.
김태형
Your Majesty, I greet you. My name is Kim Tae-hyung.
영의정
I am one year older than Your Majesty. I think you are having a hard time these days, so I think it would be good if we could be friends.
전정국
(taehyoung kim...)
전정국
Haha... The video is really good at turning the conversation around. Tell me the real reason you came all the way here today.
영의정
(Winking at the maids) You guys get out.
상궁
Yes, Your Majesty.
영의정
You're quick-witted. Yeah. So you're thinking of committing suicide?
전정국
...I thought so, but not now.
전정국
In my dream, the late king told me not to commit suicide. But how could I possibly commit suicide?
전정국
Isn't that the "will of the former king" that you follow so much?
영의정
Haha! It seems like you're trying to bait me in some way, but you've just given me a good opportunity.
영의정
Wouldn't it be better if it were recorded in the historical records that the king himself committed suicide rather than being killed by a common assassin?
영의정
Well then, I will be going now, Your Majesty.
(The Prime Minister and Taehyung leave)
bang-!
전정국
No matter what I do, am I destined to die...?
Boom..Boom! Clang-!
내관
J..Your Majesty! Please hold on tight!
전정국
Fixed? Do I look fixed to you? No matter what I choose, I'm going to die!
내관
majesty!
영의정
It's tonight... Kill the king tonight.
영의정
After tonight...you will be rich.
자객
Hehehe... Thank you, Your Majesty!
호조판서
But, Your Majesty, would one assassin be enough?
호조판서
Even though there are many of our people in the palace...there are also royal guards...
이조판서
That's right. I think it would be better to add one more person.
영의정
Isn't there really no suitable person?
이조판서
hmm....
호조판서
Your Majesty, what about Taehyung?
영의정
Are you talking about Taehyung?
호조판서
Yes, there is no one in this city who is better at martial arts than Taehyung... and if the king dies, Taehyung will become king... so, isn't there a better person than him?
영의정
Hmm... I guess so. Then let's send Taehyung.
영의정
Hey there~! Call Taehyung!
김태형
Did you call, Father?
영의정
Yes, Taehyung. You go to the palace today and kill the king.
김태형
Yes? Your Majesty...?
영의정
Yes. If only the king would die like that...you would become king.
김태형
Am I... talking about wages...?
영의정
Yeah. Why can't you do it?
김태형
.....
영의정
Tsk tsk... How can you be so weak-hearted... Tsk...
영의정
Go. There must be a reason I spared your mother!
김태형
Yes...Father...
영의정
If you hesitate here, or tell the other guards and this goes wrong, your mother will die on the spot.
영의정
Do you understand?
김태형
...Yes, Father.
