Blood Emperor

🥀 The Empire Begins Again (2)

권순영

I wonder how you ended up being appointed as a reporter here...

권순영

I don't know what's going on, so I'm even more curious.

최한솔

After that happened, I

최한솔

I traveled all over the empire.

최한솔

I was looking for traces of him all over the empire.

권순영

okay?

권순영

Have you found anything else about Jeon Won-woo?

최한솔

no.

최한솔

But there was no place his hands could not reach.

권순영

Yes, using the word you, to make it broader,

권순영

Using the current emperor, more,

권순영

I took care of all the people of the empire.

권순영

I felt that when I came here.

권순영

But why of all people?

최한솔

Because I originally handled a sword,

최한솔

What should I do with my life now?

최한솔

I remembered what the former emperor had said.

최한솔

Do you remember what I said about sending you here to save your life?

권순영

So you wandered around so hard that you ended up here?

최한솔

First of all, there are many skilled knights here.

최한솔

Well then... Kwon...

권순영

Haha, I don't have any skills.

권순영

Just call me Kwon Soon-young.

최한솔

Oh, how have you been, Mr. Kwon Soon-young?

권순영

With Wonwoo's help, I came here,

권순영

For the first time, I enjoyed freedom.

권순영

I, who had barely enjoyed freedom in a limited space where I was always tied down by something,

권순영

I have complete freedom here.

최한솔

That's fortunate.

권순영

Our human duke became emperor,

권순영

I thought it would become a human empire again.

권순영

But all the atrocities became known,

권순영

Did any change begin to occur in the places where Wonwoo's hand touched, even just a little?

권순영

Yeah, much more than before,

권순영

It has become easier for our species to live.

최한솔

That's really fortunate.

권순영

I just found out a while ago,

권순영

That guy stabbed Jeon Won-woo

권순영

They say it was all Jeon Won-woo's plan.

권순영

A really ugly guy.

권순영

He was a good guy, so you couldn't just hate him.

최한솔

...do you miss it?

권순영

Huh, I don't know.

Knock, knock-

문준휘

Are there any guests outside?

권순영

Is it cold? Tell them to come in.

문준휘

It's obvious that he went in the morning to invite me...

권순영

Ahem-!

이찬

Hey Choi Han-sol?

최한솔

Long time no see.

이찬

Why are you here?

문준휘

From today onwards, you are a member of our knights.

이찬

That guy?

문준휘

Your skills are no joke, aren't they?

문준휘

Should I be careful from now on?

이찬

What the heck, you're writing an article about this?

최한솔

Because I sometimes feel like I lack the power to protect someone.

이찬

Anyway, that's not the important thing.

이찬

Do you remember July of the year after Wonwoo hyung died?

권순영

Why can't I remember?

권순영

A man with incredible power was born into the world in Cistus.

최한솔

They say that for a moment, humans trembled in fear.

최한솔

I was worried that it might harm humans.

이찬

I met that kid today.

권순영

what?

권순영

How did that happen?

이찬

Earlier... I bumped into something on the street?

최한솔

You're so careless.

이찬

Oh, okay,

이찬

That guy definitely looks like him.

권순영

Who do you resemble, perhaps Wonwoo?

이찬

Oh, perfect!

이찬

He looks exactly like the Wonwoo we saw when we were kids!

권순영

what?

문준휘

Is your name by any chance Jeon Won-woo?

최한솔

That's not the case.

권순영

Yeah, that's too unrealistic,

권순영

Isn't it just a coincidence that they look alike?

이찬

But Wonwoo hyung's birthday is also July 17th, and her birthday is also July 17th.

문준휘

The resurrection of the emperor...

권순영

What do you know?

권순영

If it's that guy's resurrection anyway,

권순영

Can't we expect a better life?

최한솔

Otherwise, it would be like blowing wind for nothing.

이찬

Sir Choi Han-sol, you know that even a knight must be careful about what he says, right?

문준휘

I should go to Cistus later to see that kid.

권순영

What are you doing?

권순영

There's no way Jeon Won-woo will really be resurrected.

문준휘

Still, you're interested because they look alike?

문준휘

Who knows, maybe he'll be able to wield a sword like he used to?

이찬

...How about that?

문준휘

huh?

. . .

지현수

The altar was a very disgusting place.

지현수

Every day, they bring the sacrifices to be sacrificed underground,

지현수

They practiced torture and brainwashing.

지현수

They were trained to ruin all of His Majesty's plans,

지현수

Above all, they carried out a crazy education to dominate humans.

최승철

...

지현수

I've been acting from the beginning,

지현수

I was in charge of the education and supervising the offerings,

지현수

...Actually, there were a few times when I lost consciousness because of the disgust.

지현수

There was a time when I almost got caught.

최승철

I'm glad I didn't get caught.

지현수

Fortunately, whenever Hong Ji-soo was away, he made an effort to reduce the effectiveness of the brainwashing education.

지현수

We endured together, healing our worn-out spirits.

지현수

Soon they were fighting each other without harming each other.

지현수

And as he asked,

지현수

He prepared to take his life.

최승철

...Are you saying that even if I didn't do it, there were others who would have done it?

지현수

Yes, that's right.

지현수

Because variables are bound to arise somehow.

지현수

He especially did not trust His Majesty the Emperor.

최승철

...Why?

지현수

In the end, he worried a lot that he might not be able to put a knife to his own neck because of his feelings.

최승철

...If you were worried about that, why did you ask such an unreasonable favor of me?

최승철

Haha, I should have asked you while you were still alive...

지현수

Anyway, Hong Ji-soo, who was born in Olivia,

지현수

Even being abandoned by someone from the same Olivia,

지현수

It was trampled even in Cistus

지현수

Next, they would have wanted to use humans.

지현수

And those who became friends at Cistus.

지현수

And then what I was talking about happened,

지현수

..In the end, he died because of his own greed.

최승철

... was trampled.

최승철

I guess everyone hated him except himself.

최승철

No, maybe even myself,
