It wasn't about becoming an empress.
#Side Story 1 (3)
It's already been 15 years since Crown Prince Taehyung's 18th birthday.
Seokjin lived a life that could be short or long, and ended his life at the age of 52.
With Seokjin's death, Taehyung, who was the crown prince, became the emperor of the empire.
...
The Pope | With the passing of His Majesty the Emperor, the title of Emperor reverts to the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Kim Tae-hyung.
...
Pope | As the monarch of this empire, please consider and embrace the people.
김태형
For this empire, for my people, I pledge to rule it with all my heart.
김태형
Like my late father, the late Emperor, I will lead this empire well.
As soon as Taehyung finished speaking, everyone in the cathedral began to applaud him.
Some people were shedding tears, others were shouting.
전정국
Your Majesty, I congratulate you.
김태형
Haha, no. It's all thanks to my little uncle.
전정국
What have I done?
전정국
This is all thanks to Your Majesty growing up so well.
김태형
Not a kid... haha
김태형
But my heart still feels a bit uneasy…
김태형
My father, who has been with me for 33 years… has not even congratulated me on my ascension to the throne…
전정국
…
전정국
I'm sure you'll like it above.
김태형
…I guess you met Momma up there?
전정국
[Sigh-] If His Majesty had been reincarnated, we might not have met..
김태형
…I really hope we can meet..
김석진
…I thought I would be able to meet you when I came here…
김석진
No matter how much I look for it, I can't find it...
김석진
I have something to talk about when we meet…
천여주
your majesty-
김석진
?!
김석진
empress….!
천여주
[Smile-] It's been a long time, Your Majesty
Seokjin felt a pang of emotion at the sight of the smiling female protagonist. Perhaps he was feeling sorry for her as he recalled his own past actions and words.
The strong Seokjin knelt before her and apologized.
김석진
I'm sorry... Really... That's what I meant.
김석진
I feel like I've done something terrible to you and your father... I don't expect forgiveness, so please let me at least apologize.
천여주
Wake up, it's been a long time since you put that thing out of your mind.
천여주
So now, free yourself from that guilt.
김석진
…!
김석진
Trembling-] What did I do to you... sigh
김석진
How could you forget that and how could you ask me to escape from this feeling of guilt?
김석진
Ugh— sigh, huh
김석진
I was blinded by love and didn't see the truth right in front of me.
김석진
I'm really... sorry
