[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.
