Blood Emperor

🥀 The first and last bloody emperor

김민규

Your Majesty, what have you done...

전원우

You just heard the imperial edict.

전원우

There is no such thing as sin on your part.

전원우

So run out of the palace right now.

전원우

The imperial people will soon invade.

김민규

Why did you do that?

김민규

Why...

전원우

I was thinking of ending everything with Hong Ji-soo.

전원우

It was not the time to repay the favor.

김민규

...but I know full well that if not now, it will be of no use.

전원우

Get out of the palace right now.

전원우

I will keep my place here.

김민규

Please let me keep my place.

전원우

...Didn't I say no!!

전원우

I am guilty of staining the empire with blood.

전원우

You must pay the price for your crimes to the people of the empire.

전원우

so,

"The people of the empire no longer want a tyrant!"

"Open the door now and let the Emperor out!!"

김민규

...your majesty.

전원우

...

Wonwoo puts down the sword in his hand and tries to leave the palace.

But, Min-gyu blocked his way.

김민규

I will disobey the imperial command.

김민규

Somehow I kept my place,

김민규

I will protect Your Majesty.

전원우

Ha, I guess there's nothing I can do.

전원우

Yes, if that's what you want, I'll be your tyrant.

전원우

Knight Commander Kim Min-gyu, until his death

전원우

Please protect me.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial people broke through to the audience room.

Wonwoo, sitting arrogantly on the throne, holding a sword in his hand

They came face to face with Min-gyu, who was guarding the front.

I felt tense, as if I was standing on thin ice.

전원우

What crime would it be to kill someone who defiled the priesthood?

전원우

All that's left for those who interfere with everything I do

Wonwoo stabs the dead Hong Ji-soo with a knife.

And then with a cruel smile

전원우

That there is only death

전원우

You haven't forgotten my order, have you?

김민규

...Of course, Your Majesty.

전원우

If you want to kill me, you'll have to defeat my proud loyal subject.

A one-on-many fight began.

Wonwoo looked at the situation with arrogance itself, trying to pretend to be a tyrant until the end.

If there were any imperial subjects approaching, he would kick them away without hesitation.

Still, Wonwoo couldn't harm them.

The imperial people probably didn't know.

bang-!

최승철

What we need is a saint.

최승철

If you are not the emperor who will keep the empire peaceful

최승철

That we don't need an emperor,

전원우

Ah, these words I let go of came to harm me.

Seungcheol quickly knocked Minkyu down.

김민규

Ugh...!

최승철

Your Majesty, there is no need to listen to the imperial edict any longer.

최승철

If you just take a nap, there will be no imperial edict to oppress you.

최승철

And, Your Majesty.

전원우

...

최승철

I have already repaid the favor enough.

최승철

And now we have to put it into action.

전원우

Haha, I have a favor to ask.

전원우

I hope the other imperial peoples don't come forward.

최승철

...

최승철

All right.

전원우

Imperial citizens, please step back and watch.

전원우

I'm talking about my fight with Duke Adeline.

Wonwoo stood up with a knife in his hand,

Seungcheol looked at Wonwoo nervously.

전원우

This is also a bet.

전원우

The value of the bet is life.

최승철

It's what I was hoping for.

. . .

최승철

His Majesty sent you?

김민규

Yes, I have to go back soon, so please check quickly.

최승철

okay.

I write to you shamelessly. After today, I will no longer be here. Today, I will execute Hong Ji-su in the palace and offer his head to the people of the empire.

The princes who were to succeed me were sent into exile. And to free Prince Kwon, I sent him away. Now, I can finally reveal that Prince Kwon is not dead...

But even if we meet on the street, please don't pretend to know me, because I've helped him escape from his dark memories.

The introduction was long, but I beg you, Duke Adeline, to finish my story. I beg you to please finish it.

Please behead me proudly in front of the people of the empire and continue the throne as emperor.

최승철

...

최승철

Just tell His Majesty that I have read the letter.

김민규

...Yes, I understand.

. . .

A fierce battle broke out in front of the imperial people.

The sound of the sword rings again

Their heavy breathing

The breathless breathing of the imperial people.

전원우

If only I could go back in time

전원우

'Can we stop everything?'

전원우

'If only I had chosen well from the beginning...'

전원우

'I hope this sword didn't take my life just now.'

Phew-

최승철

..huh, ugh... gasp...

전원우

...lol,

최승철

...I'm sorry.

전원우

No.., ch, you look pretty cool.

전원우

Please... the peace of the empire I couldn't find

전원우

D..I hope you find it...

dump-

As Wonwoo fell, the cheers of the imperial people filled the palace.
