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

22 • Honest conversation, planning

After all the commotion died down...

Knock knock, -

시녀 , 지혜리

Your Majesty the Empress...

황후 , 서여주

what's the matter? .

시녀 , 지혜리

I think the Empress should go and see for herself.

황후 , 서여주

... what do you mean? .

시녀 , 지혜리

Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for several days.

You idiot, why aren't you eating?

황후 , 서여주

Where are you now?

시녀 , 지혜리

It is said that it has now been moved to the Imperial Palace.

황후 , 서여주

Let's go there.

시녀 , 지혜리

Yes, Your Majesty the Empress

황자 , 김태형

I said I don't like it!! Why do you keep doing this!!

시녀

You still have to eat it..!

Crack, crack -

황후 , 서여주

Everyone, back off.

시녀

Yes, Your Majesty the Empress...

_ When all the maids left, the heroine approached and grabbed Taehyung's chin.

황후 , 서여주

Are you a kid? , You can barely afford to not eat because of something like this?

황자 , 김태형

Is this all? ..

황자 , 김태형

Do you really think so? ..

_ The female protagonist sat next to Taehyung and spoke while cooling the porridge.

황후 , 서여주

There are things in this world that can't be helped.

황후 , 서여주

Even if you ascend to the throne, nothing will go your way.

황자 , 김태형

...I really hope you don't go out.

_ He cooled the porridge and brought it to Taehyung's mouth, saying:

황후 , 서여주

I can't help it.

황후 , 서여주

If I, the wife of the previous emperor, were to remain here, the people would surely look upon us strangely.

황후 , 서여주

If that happens...

황후 , 서여주

It will also be disadvantageous for you who have the support of the people.

황자 , 김태형

...I have a question.

_ I put the spoon back in the bowl and looked at Taehyung.

황후 , 서여주

What are you curious about? .

황자 , 김태형

Leaving the palace or not, getting away from it...

황자 , 김태형

What do you think of me?

황자 , 김태형

More than anything else, I'm more curious about this right now.

황후 , 서여주

.... How should I explain it? .

황자 , 김태형

I want to know how you feel right now.

_ He said, looking at his hands.

황후 , 서여주

Honestly, I don't know...

황후 , 서여주

It may seem like we've known each other for a long time, but you know we've only known each other for two months.

황후 , 서여주

And so much has happened in between...

황후 , 서여주

I'm just confused right now...

황자 , 김태형

Only I know your true self.

황자 , 김태형

Can you handle it? , living in hiding all the time _

황후 , 서여주

Everything is confusing right now..

황후 , 서여주

My goal is to be free...

황후 , 서여주

The more I try to achieve it, the more I feel like new challenges arise _

황자 , 김태형

... okay? .

Swish, -

_Taehyung held Yeoju in his arms.

황자 , 김태형

Still, thank you so much for not hating me...

There is only one thing that is clear.

For both Kim Taehyung and Seo Yeoju, it was their first time experiencing love.

It can't help but be confusing.

황자 , 김태형

You don't always have to think computationally.

황자 , 김태형

If you don't like it, I'll go.

황후 , 서여주

Surprise - ) What does it mean? ..

황자 , 김태형

I have something planned.

황자 , 김태형

I also have no intention of being emperor for a long time.

황자 , 김태형

Once this situation is over... I'll pretend to be poisoned.

황후 , 서여주

What are you talking about? , That's it! ..

_Taehyung covered the female protagonist's mouth with his long index finger.

황자 , 김태형

Shh.

황자 , 김태형

This is something that Jeon Jungkook and Park Jimin also know, and it must never leak out.

황자 , 김태형

If that happens, Emperor Kim Taehyung will die...

황자 , 김태형

If I become an ordinary citizen, I can live with you without worrying about anything.

황후 , 서여주

If it's because of me, don't do that.

황자 , 김태형

It's not because of you.

황자 , 김태형

For 22 years, I wasn't even treated like a human being, let alone a prince, and then... if you suddenly gave me the crown, who would do well?

황후 , 서여주

...are you serious?

황자 , 김태형

okay .

황후 , 서여주

But if that happens, who will take over?

황후 , 서여주

Is there anyone who has thought about it?

황자 , 김태형

Yes, if it's that brother... he'll lead the empire well.

황후 , 서여주

Did you have a close friend?

황자 , 김태형

Let's say he's a brother I became close with at the border.

황후 , 서여주

Jeon Jungkook and Park Jimin didn't even treat me as friends...

황자 , 김태형

A dog is a dog...

황자 , 김태형

Just wait outside for a bit, I'll be out soon. Okay?

황후 , 서여주

...I can't wait long.

Tsdam, -

황자 , 김태형

of course .

_Taehyung stroked the female protagonist's head.

황자 , 김태형

I promise, when it's all over...

황자 , 김태형

Let's go to the border, I'll show you around _

황자 , 김태형

It's a border so there are a lot of dangerous things to do, but it's a great place to enjoy the scenery.

황후 , 서여주

...promise me.

황자 , 김태형

Nod - ) I promise.

황후 , 서여주

By the way, I have a question...

황자 , 김태형

What is it? .

황후 , 서여주

What happened to the empresses?

황자 , 김태형

The second empress returned home as soon as the emperor died...

황자 , 김태형

The first empress, you know.

황자 , 김태형

Shin Joo-yeon.

황후 , 서여주

Why the dog?

황자 , 김태형

It disappeared, like a charm _

황후 , 서여주

what? ...

_ The female protagonist asked back with rabbit eyes.

황후 , 서여주

Weren't you locked up in the Empress's Palace?

황자 , 김태형

Because you didn't say anything, I was out of my mind after you collapsed _

황자 , 김태형

I didn't have the presence of mind to lock up the empress and say anything...

황후 , 서여주

I'm anxious...

황자 , 김태형

I'm sure you'll figure it out and live well.

황자 , 김태형

don't mind .

황후 , 서여주

Mumble - ) Still, I don't think this is it...
