Cursed Twins
Episode 9: The Cursed Twins
The next day
박지민
A sudden power outage yesterday... Isn't that absurd?
김태형
There was a maid who said she saw something strange yesterday, so Hwi went out to get her.
박지민
(Mumbling) Will I ever be able to meet that maid?
bang!!_
The door opens with a loud bang, but Taehyung doesn't show any surprise and just looks towards the door.
김태형
What's going on so early in the morning?
황후 폐하 박유선
……
김태형
Your Majesty the Empress.
황후 폐하 박유선
Do you really not know why I am like this?
김태형
Well, I don't know.
황후 폐하 박유선
Of all the women at the party yesterday, why a woman from the Daisy family? Aren't there women this mother has chosen?
황후 폐하 박유선
Why did you do something so outrageous to that girl when you could have just danced!!
김태형
…keep your voice down. There's a lot of people listening. And…
Jimin was standing where Taehyung's gaze went, and Yoo-seon also looked at Jimin.
박지민
Bow_) I see the moon of the Lotus Empire.
김태형
As you can see, I am talking to an old friend.
황후 폐하 박유선
(To Jimin) Go out. I have something to say to the prince.
As Jimin tries to leave after Yoo-seon's words, Tae-hyung stops him.
김태형
It seems like Her Majesty the Empress is the one who should leave now.
A mysterious war of nerves flows between the two, and eventually Yooseon gives up.
황후 폐하 박유선
Okay, I'll step down today.
김태형
Sing_) Your Majesty, please take care.
Yooseon leaves and Jimin approaches Taehyung.
박지민
I have seen Her Majesty the Empress several times, but I still can't get used to it.
김태형
Sigh_) You haven't adapted yet. How about me? Haha
Jimin comes out of the room after talking with Jimin and Taehyung.
황후 폐하 박유선
Stop it.
박지민
Pause_) … What is it, Your Majesty the Empress?
황후 폐하 박유선
Abominable thing..
박지민
……
황후 폐하 박유선
(Small) You might think you can fool our crown prince with that innocent face, but I'm different. I might be smiling on the outside next to the crown prince, but how evil is I on the inside?
박지민
…I don’t know what Empress Pyeha is saying now.
황후 폐하 박유선
I don't know... Okay, you'll just keep evading it until the end.
황후 폐하 박유선
Someday I will take off that ugly mask.
박지민
…
Yuseon leisurely leaves the place.
박지민
Will Her Majesty the Empress be able to remove my mask?
근위 대장•서휘
What?! You're dead?!
I came to look for the maid because of work, but all I heard was that she was dead.
시녀 (들)
Yes... I said I'd go out for a bit this morning... but he didn't come for a while. So I went out and...
근위 대장•서휘
He was dead..
근위 대장•서휘
Where is the body? Where is the body?
시녀 (들)
I've already cleaned it up.
근위 대장•서휘
Sigh... So was it suicide? Or murder?
시녀 (들)
He said it was suicide. He said he strangled himself.
근위 대장•서휘
Was there anything suspicious?
He said there was nothing strange, but then he started talking as if he had thought of something.
시녀 (들)
If there's anything suspicious... Ah! The corpse was covered in blood, but there were no bloodstains on the floor or walls.
근위 대장•서휘
The body was covered in blood, but there were no traces of blood anywhere else.
근위 대장•서휘
Okay, thank you for your time.
시녀 (들)
Yes, that's right.
근위 대장•서휘
Go now.
시녀 (들)
yes.
After saying hello, the maid leaves.
근위 대장•서휘
(Thinking deeply) … …
전정국
Suddenly_) Hwiya! What are you thinking about?
근위 대장•서휘
Surprise) ?!!
근위 대장•서휘
I'm just... looking for something.
전정국
Okay. Should I help you? We can find it faster if we look for it together.
근위 대장•서휘
No, it's okay.
전정국
………
Jeongguk looks around to make sure no one is there, then calls out to Hwi.
전정국
Hwiya.
근위 대장•서휘
huh?
Exactly_
근위 대장•서휘
What is this...
Hwi is flustered and wanders around.
전정국
Don't worry, it'll be over soon.
근위 대장•서휘
What does that mean?!
전정국
From now on, I'm losing my memories of these things.
Hwi's consciousness becomes clouded by an unknown spell from Jeongguk, causing him to become confused and his eyes to lose their strength.
전정국
From now on, listen carefully to what I say.
전정국
The maid you are looking for is usually a frequent thief of the imperial household and a liar, so you cannot trust her words.
근위 대장•서휘
yes..
전정국
And tell them that the maid tried to run away this morning, but was caught by a wild beast and killed.
근위 대장•서휘
All right.
widely_
근위 대장•서휘
(Flash of consciousness) Huh.. why am I here?
전정국
Aren't you going to His Majesty?
근위 대장•서휘
uh?
전정국
I told you I was going to see His Majesty.
근위 대장•서휘
Oh..? That's right.
근위 대장•서휘
I'll go.
전정국
Okay, bye. Haha
As Hwi leaves, the smiling expression on Jeongguk's face suddenly hardens.
"……"
?
Your acting skills have improved. Hahaha.
전정국
Shut up. Don't let this happen again.
?
Okay. Haha
