Imperial tragedy
#02.{Gladiolus}
When I was reading a book as usual
I heard a knock on the door.
dripping
황민현
Come in
하녀
Your Majesty
황민현
What's going on?
하녀
The Emperor calls the Prince
황민현
Okay, I understand. Go out.
하녀
all right..
황민현
Father, why did you call me?
황제
Are you really not going to marry the princess of country S?
황민현
If you're going to talk about that, I'll be leaving now.
황제
Why don't you want to do it?
황민현
I have told you a hundred, a thousand times. I heard you say that you would rather ascend to the throne by marrying someone you love with true love than by entering into a political marriage with someone you do not love and ascend to the throne. Father.
황제
...If you find someone you love, why don't you just break off the arranged marriage?
황민현
I don't like it. I want to marry someone I love and live happily, rather than have that dirty past of a broken marriage due to political reasons.
황제
Hey you! You're my son, and you just have to follow my will. So, you'd better do as I say.
황민현
I heard you said no, so I'll go now.
He called out to the prince who was about to leave.
황제
If you don't do as I say, the empress will face tragedy.
황민현
...
Tragedy...there's only one word that fits this description.
as soon as..
death
If the prince does not marry for political reasons, the emperor will surely kill the empress.
The prince must enter into a political marriage, even if it means being forced, to protect his mother, the empress.
The prince is willing to sacrifice himself by enduring for a while and entering into a political marriage rather than having his mother sacrifice her life for him.
황민현
Ha.. I'm going to get married for political reasons.. So don't touch my mother.
황제
Yeah, I thought about it well
황민현
Well then, I'll be leaving now.
황제
okay
The emperor returned to his room
I thought deeply
Is your choice right now or wrong?
황민현
under..
I tried to read the book again, but I couldn't concentrate because of distracting thoughts.
I chose to go for a walk to clear my mind.
While I was walking, trying to get rid of distracting thoughts
I found a girl
The girl seemed lost
What happened to the prince who usually didn't even pay attention to women?
I approached that girl for the first time
황민현
excuse me..
