Blood Emperor

🥀 Be careful with your words when you have a mouth.

권순영

I really don't like any of them.

권순영

Those princes couldn't even put up a fight in that spot,

권순영

Even cardinals are eventually checked by the Pope,

권순영

To think that even I am under the Duke's control...

최승철

It looks like a guest has arrived.

최승철

Seeing that he/she is not my guest

최승철

It looks like you are a guest.

권순영

Ah, have you already arrived?

권순영

I will go to entertain you now.

. . .

권순영

Was the journey here difficult?

이석민

Well, I suspect there are people here and there trying to take your life.

이석민

I did turn my head a little, but,

권순영

Haha, you're worrying about everything.

권순영

You are my guest; who would dare take your life?

권순영

Come to think of it, I can't rule out the possibility that I might target it.

이석민

Did you call me just to say something like this?

권순영

It's nothing else,

권순영

I will pay the price

권순영

I'd like you to grant me just one favor.

이석민

A request...

권순영

Do you happen to like rumors?

이석민

I won't accept it if it's a baseless rumor.

이석민

We must be careful with our actions, but we must be even more careful with our words.

이석민

Since you are Adeline's prince, there is no way you wouldn't know.

권순영

What do you mean, a baseless rumor?

권순영

Since I am in a position where I have to be very careful with my words, I am asking you to do it on my behalf.

이석민

Then again, with so many enemies, how could I go around with my mouth open?

이석민

Yeah, I’ve heard the rumors.

권순영

It would be very good from a human perspective.

권순영

His Majesty has turned his back on the Blood Tribe.

이석민

...what?

권순영

They say there is a skilled sorcerer on the outskirts.

이석민

I understand that the sorcerer was originally a sorcerer of the imperial palace.

권순영

Yes, unlike His Majesty the former Emperor who drove that man out

권순영

His Majesty the current ruler brought him back into the imperial palace.

권순영

You know, casting a curse on our blood race.

이석민

Cast a curse?

이석민

What nonsense

이석민

Do you think I don't know that if I find the source of the rumor, you intend to put a knife to my throat?

권순영

His Majesty said so.

권순영

Always be careful what you say.

권순영

To Your Highness and to the Crown Prince

권순영

And to me, too.

권순영

His Majesty thrust his sword.

이석민

Then the reason for bringing the sorcerer into the imperial palace is,

이석민

Is it to keep no one aware of the curse?

권순영

That's exactly it.

권순영

Isn't that an intriguing rumor?

이석민

Well, isn't it up to me to say what I want?

권순영

Haha, since I've already heard everything, if I don't say anything...

권순영

I can drink your blood right here.

권순영

We can get rid of the Sevino ducal family as well.

권순영

There is nothing I cannot do.

권순영

The person who spread rumors about me like that couldn't possibly not know.

이석민

...ahem-

권순영

I always told you to be wary of me.

권순영

Young Master Kwon Sun-young is a man who seeks what he desires, even if it means staining his hands with blood.

권순영

Tell me to be especially careful of that person.

권순영

The rumor you told when you were young has spread throughout the entire village

권순영

I was a bit lonely.

이석민

...Alright, I will say it.

권순영

It's a good choice.

권순영

Would you like to grab a meal somewhere?

이석민

Would there even be any food for humans to eat in a bloodthirsty household?

이석민

Let's just get up.

권순영

Right, if this rumor spreads everywhere

권순영

I will certainly pay the price for that.

이석민

then.

As Seokmin went outside,

Sunyoung laughing like crazy.

권순영

ha ha ha!

권순영

Jeon Won-woo, if things continue like this, will you be able to live?

권순영

There is no way that other cities besides Cistus would not know.

권순영

If you spread rumors about us

권순영

I really wonder which of your own kind will trust you.

. . .

The next day,

"I heard the atmosphere inside the Imperial Palace is no joke right now."

So this was the reason Adeline was so quiet—

To think that Your Excellency is performing good deeds even in such treatment...

윤정한

There are some not-so-good rumors circulating.

홍지수

Your Holiness, you must not be uncomfortable with anything.

홍지수

I will go and put the rumors to rest.

윤정한

It is not necessary,

윤정한

How can you say that you are responsible for your friend's actions?

홍지수

...

윤정한

That is truly foolish.

윤정한

Do you know where the ears are listening, yet you speak so carelessly?

홍지수

But, it's not a lie, is it?

홍지수

Isn't Your Holiness also keeping an eye on me?

윤정한

Since I did as you wanted,

윤정한

It is time you followed my advice.

권순영

Aren't you going to let go of this!!?

김민규

It is by His Majesty's order.

김민규

If you do not comply, Your Majesty has granted permission for immediate execution, so you have no choice but to carry it out.

권순영

H-ha... Jeon Wonwoo!!!

김민규

I'll drag you along.

홍지수

What is that...

윤정한

You would be wise to watch your mouth.

윤정한

Because Your Majesty knows everything.

홍지수

...Was there no curse from the beginning?

윤정한

I don't know if that is a curse.

윤정한

Whether it was just seeing right through.

윤정한

God doesn't tell you. Haha.

윤정한

One who claims to believe in God like that,

윤정한

Why can't you hear?

윤정한

Listen to your God.

윤정한

Your God was warning you from the beginning.

윤정한

Things I didn't hear, things I didn't notice

윤정한

It's you.

홍지수

...I should go too.

윤정한

You don't have to go far.

윤정한

Because we will meet at the temple soon.

홍지수

...m, what did you say?

윤정한

Let's go to the temple. His Majesty ordered preparations.

윤정한

I think I need to get ready a little sooner.

홍지수

How on earth does he see right through everything...
