Call me a devil, Princess

EP.35#Another You

***

The downtown area here was different. Everyone was respectful, and there were tall buildings and beautiful parks.

It was a beautiful downtown area that naturally drew exclamations of admiration. It was a street that seemed like it could be walked by royalty.

사람들

Is it 0000 now? The weather is nice, maybe because it's April.

정은비

....?

I overheard people passing by talking, and it was now... 0000, a year later.

I...was asleep for a year...?

정은비

Ugh...that's ridiculous

I took a step back in confusion. Where am I? Then... what happens to me?

정은비

Hey..over there!!

사람들

....yes?

정은비

Where is this...?

사람들

Black Empire...but...

정은비

yes...?

사람들

Don't you know? You're from another empire. The Gold Empire is ruled by the Black Empire.

사람들

Because we won the war

정은비

war....?

I took a step back. The Gold Empire had vanished, and only the Black Empire remained. I was confused about my status here.

정은비

Huh?

As I stepped back, I tripped over a rock and fell backwards. Behind me was an emerald lake.

Tak -

Someone took my hand.

박지민

Still the same

정은비

B..Park Jimin...

It was Jimin who caught me, and the look in his eyes as he looked at me still seemed to be filled with hatred.

박지민

I came here because I saw a woman doing something crazy.

정은비

ㅁ..is this crazy?

박지민

This lake is the emperor's favorite lake.

박지민

If you go into that water, you will lose your breath immediately.

정은비

Oh...

I bowed my head in greeting because Jimin had saved me from almost dying.

정은비

A..thank you

박지민

It will soon be time for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive.

박지민

You are no longer a princess, so please be respectful.

정은비

N..yeap..

It was scary. The cold voice pierced my bones, sending chills through my entire body.

Jimin walked away from me without even a hint of a smile, wondering how scared the emperor must be.

I wanted to see Yuna and Eunbi and wonder when they would come back again.

정은비

ha...

It seemed difficult to adapt here.

I closed my eyes as the gentle breeze touched my skin. I wished the cool breeze would carry me along.

I also thought that it would be nice if this wind would erase all my memories.

Step by step... step by step...

I could hear the footsteps of several people walking towards this place.

People made way for me on their own, and I cautiously opened my eyes to the commotion.

사람들

J..Isn't that woman crazy!?

사람들

The Emperor has come... but why...

In front of me, I saw a luxury car and soldiers surrounding it.

정은비

?....

I wondered what these soldiers were doing there. A little later, a man got out of the car.

He had blue and golden eyes, black hair, and was wearing a black uniform, perhaps because he was from the Black Empire.

???

ha -

The vaguely visible figure of the person seemed to overlap with Kim Taehyung in some way.

As I looked at him, his hair turned silver.

김태형

This is making me feel like shit,

But he was the complete opposite of the Kim Taehyung I knew.
