[Contest] I opened my eyes and the nightmare began again.

21 • Facing the Truth

황후 , 서여주

...is that okay?

황자 , 김태형

Okay, come on.

황후 , 서여주

I said it's done?

Why are you two arguing?

Because we are fighting.

With what?

Taehyung is throwing a tantrum and saying he'll feed Yeoju some porridge.

황후 , 서여주

Why are you acting like this, what kind of kid are you?

황자 , 김태형

You're the kid, who's throwing a tantrum and saying he won't eat right now?

Childish?

I've been struggling with this issue for 30 minutes now.

황후 , 서여주

What if other people see it?

황자 , 김태형

If you look, you see, so what's the problem?

황후 , 서여주

Haa, I'm still the empress...

황후 , 서여주

The emperor hasn't even been executed yet.

Tak, -

_ Taehyung put down his spoon and looked at the female lead and asked.

황자 , 김태형

Why, do you care about dogs?

황후 , 서여주

I don't care about that person.

황후 , 서여주

You care about me.

황자 , 김태형

....what are you talking about? .

황후 , 서여주

Don't you get it yet? If the Emperor dies, I too will have to leave the palace.

_Taehyung's expression quickly hardened.

황자 , 김태형

...what are you talking about? .

황후 , 서여주

I'm a widow now, so I have to go back to my parents' house.

_ Taehyung's expression was one of disbelief.

황자 , 김태형

So, you're leaving me too? ...

황후 , 서여주

... that

황자 , 김태형

I want to follow you too.

황후 , 서여주

Buruk - ) What are you talking about! .

_ He looked at the female protagonist with wide eyes, as if he was startled.

황후 , 서여주

You have to stay here.

황자 , 김태형

what ...

황후 , 서여주

You are the last remaining blood relative of the royal family.

황후 , 서여주

I must remain here and become the emperor who will lead the empire.

황자 , 김태형

Emperor? ...

_ I handed the book to Taehyung who had a confused expression.

황후 , 서여주

You haven't read it yet?

황후 , 서여주

It's a book the emperor was hiding, I already read it when you were away.

_ Taehyung received the book and read it carefully.

Prince born in XXXX,

He who has the destiny of an emperor, will be born with purple light.

He will create a great empire and become a saintly king.

황자 , 김태형

..what is this? ..

황후 , 서여주

Still don't get it? ..

황후 , 서여주

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager knew this in advance and spread rumors that you were cursed.

황후 , 서여주

You are our "true lord" given by heaven _

황자 , 김태형

so? ...

황후 , 서여주

what? ..

_ There were tears gathered in Taehyung's eyes.

황자 , 김태형

So? , I asked if you were going to leave me too...

황후 , 서여주

...I don't want to live as someone's empress anymore _

황자 , 김태형

Mumble - ) No... this is .

황자 , 김태형

I didn't want to be the emperor!! I just wanted someone who would stay by my side forever _

황자 , 김태형

Even though they tormented me, my mother and my brother will soon be gone from this world.

황자 , 김태형

Even you... are leaving me?

_ Clear water droplets flowed down Taehyung's face as he vented his anger.

황후 , 서여주

.... Sorry .

황자 , 김태형

Jirejire - ) This is not it...

황자 , 김태형

I hate emperor stuff...

Whoosh, -

_ It was Taehyung who ran outside.

황후 , 서여주

..even the heavens are indifferent.

Clang, -

황자 , 김태형

This is not it!! ...

황자 , 김태형

This is not what I wanted!! ..

Knock knock, -

Thump, thump -

무녀 , 강 설

You have realized the ways of the world.

Whoosh, -

황자 , 김태형

Who are you...

_ Seol bowed politely to Taehyung.

무녀 , 강 설

I am a shaman from Joseon.

무녀 , 강 설

This is the woman who asked the prince to find the truth.

황자 , 김태형

what? ...

무녀 , 강 설

His Majesty must understand the ways of the world.

무녀 , 강 설

What you experienced at the border, and this time too...

무녀 , 강 설

It was a trial to become a saint.

황자 , 김태형

I never wanted an emperor!! ...

황자 , 김태형

I just need the Empress to be by my side.

무녀 , 강 설

.... Losing people is also another trial to become a saint.

황자 , 김태형

...who made that prophecy?

무녀 , 강 설

I'm going.

무녀 , 강 설

I know how Your Majesty feels, but this is all heaven's will.

무녀 , 강 설

Even the Empress's leaving the palace is her choice.

황자 , 김태형

no ....

slap, -

무녀 , 강 설

Surprise - ) Your Majesty! ..

_ It was Taehyung who knelt in front of Seol-i.

황자 , 김태형

You said you had a pre-show, right? ...

황자 , 김태형

Is there any way to change the prophecy? ..

황자 , 김태형

I'll do whatever it takes.

황자 , 김태형

If that doesn't work, don't let the heroine leave my side... please _

무녀 , 강 설

Your Majesty...

무녀 , 강 설

Still don't get it? ..

황자 , 김태형

What does that mean? ..

무녀 , 강 설

The prince's appearance now is no different from that of the emperor...

_ Taehyung's focus blurred as if he had been hit in the back of the head by Seol's answer.

무녀 , 강 설

Please send, Your Majesty the Empress....

황자 , 김태형

... flaw

_Taehyung fell to the ground and burst into tears.

무녀 , 강 설

.. majesty

황자 , 김태형

This is not it, really...!!

무녀 , 강 설

...

I felt it once again,

God is not a being that only makes humans happy.

황제 , 김태현

Empress...

황후 , 서여주

...

황제 , 김태현

I don't regret what I did to you.

황제 , 김태현

If I go back, I will do the same.

황제 , 김태현

I will keep you by my side and not give you to anyone else.

황제 , 김태현

If I could go back, I would kill Kim Taehyung first.

황제 , 김태현

After that guy came back, everything was ruined.

황후 , 서여주

...don't blame the prince.

황후 , 서여주

You know very well that he is a poor man, and his life was ruined because of Your Majesty.

황제 , 김태현

..have you seen it? , the book.

황후 , 서여주

I saw it.

황제 , 김태현

... So, you put the blame on me.

황후 , 서여주

You had a rough idea.

황제 , 김태현

Yeah, because you've been the only one coming to my room these past few days.

황제 , 김태현

So, you are the only one who can hide the poison.

황후 , 서여주

..so, do you want to kill me? .

황제 , 김태현

It used to be like that, maybe... this could be my karma too.

병 사

You must go now.

황제 , 김태현

Thank you for showing your face for the last time.

황후 , 서여주

....have a good trip.

황제 , 김태현

Lastly, I want to say this.

황제 , 김태현

"There was not a single lie in loving you."

With those words left behind, the heads of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager fell to the floor.
