What... are you talking about?

김석진

N...you...

정 원

...What do you mean?

김석진

Well... I mean...

As Seokjin hesitated and couldn't speak, Won looked up at him and asked once more.

정 원

What I just heard,

정 원

Is it for real?

When Won looked at Seokjin with a serious expression, Seokjin paused and stepped back a little.

Even though I am a woman, I am the top knight, ranking first or second among them. Well, I couldn't become the Knight Captain just because I am a woman, but...

Still, he is ranked first among the knights, and since Seokjin knows that fact better than anyone...

He secretly grabbed the doorknob to escape and waited for an opening to run away.

정 원

Tell me quickly

김석진

...

정 원

Speak up!!

김석진

...

정 원

Say no, quickly.

Won grabbed Seokjin by the collar and continued speaking, wearing an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

정 원

Tell me... please...

정 원

Tell me not to...

김석진

sorry...

김석진

Sorry...

As Seokjin tried to place his hand on Won's shoulder, Won shook off Seokjin's hand, took a small knife from his bosom, and held it to Seokjin's neck.

정 원

If that's correct...

정 원

I guess it can't be helped...

김석진

!!

Red blood was gradually flowing down from where Won had touched with the knife.

정 원

Just go to prison purely.

김석진

Sorry, sorry...

Seokjin kept repeating "I'm sorry" before shaking off Won's hand and running away.

As Seokjin left, Won...

Thump

He dropped the blood-stained knife to the floor and

He clenched his fists and trembled.

And he muttered very softly.

정 원

ha...

정 원

To think I have to become an enemy of the person I respect...
