이지은 :황비:
What should I do now? This has to happen.
엘로이 :황제:
.............
이지은 :황비:
Roy... tell me... something big has happened in the Koyori Empire...
이지은 :황비:
Surely this will spread throughout the empire... it will become ingrained in people's minds, just like the custom spread!
엘로이 :황제:
I'll see to it that I can handle this. The nobles will undoubtedly try to blackmail you. They'll say you must be deposed and the younger of the twins killed to prevent the empire's downfall.
이지은 :황비:
If they say I have to kill the second one, I'd rather die in his place.
엘로이 :황제:
That's not what I want. I have to somehow convince the nobles at the noble council to save the children.

November 3, 1251 · Noble Chamber
의장
We will now begin the 89th meeting of the Nobles. Please take your seats.
제이홉 :귀족:
There is an agenda!
의장
What is the agenda?
제이홉 :귀족:
News that the Empress has given birth to twins has already spread throughout the palace. As you know, according to the customs of our Koyori Empire, this means the downfall of the empire!
의장
Please refrain from using harsh language.
제이홉 :귀족:
What a radical thing! If news of the Empress giving birth to twins were to spread throughout the empire, how would you handle the aftermath?
엘로이 :황제:
It's true that the empress gave birth to twins, but how could such rumors ever spread beyond the palace? And isn't it absurd to shake the empire with such a ridiculous custom?
미나 :귀족:
Emperor Eloi. As you know, this twin custom has been passed down for over 250 years. Even among the people, it is considered natural to kill the second child when twins are born. This has caused public resentment, and if the second child of the twins is not killed,
미나 :귀족:
The discontent of the people who have kept their customs until now will explode.
귀족
To calm this situation, you must kill the second son and discipline the empress.
엘로이 :황제:
What the hell does that mean? Killing the second son!? And keeping the empress under strict control? Do you think I'm so low and ridiculous that you'd give such orders!
The nobles are speechless at the emperor's words.
제이홉 :귀족:
We're concerned about the Koyori Empire. It's an empire that's been around for 500 years, and we can't afford for it to be shaken by this crisis.
엘로이 :황제:
First of all, I will work with Duke Sugar to overcome this crisis together, so Empress, don't worry too much about this situation. There will absolutely be no way for rumors to spread outside the palace.
[Same day] November 3, 1251 · The Empress's Room
이지은 :황비:
As expected, the nobles are after me and my child.
이지은 :황비:
They probably wouldn't look kindly on me for interfering with their desired benefits... No... That's right...
이지은 :황비:
Rumors will undoubtedly spread uncontrollably, and we can't trust the Emperor alone. After all, they were born... I can't lose my twins to some foolish custom.
이지은 :황비:
What should I do... Twins... Customs... Ha...
After a few minutes
이지은 :황비:
Yes! The palace sorcerer! If I go to the sorcerer, I might be able to find a solution. Besides, if it's the sorcerer's room, rumors won't spread. I need to see the sorcerer quickly.
[The next day] November 4, 1251 · The Empress's Chamber
이지은 :황비:
I have to take the second one away... Listening to the sorcerer, it seems that in order to save the twins, I have to take Yewonil away to another place...
이지은 :황비:
But if I get caught stealing... I'll be the one who gets kicked out. But wouldn't that be better than Yewon dying? You need to think carefully, Lee Ji-eun.
이지은 :황비:
Yes, as the sorcerer said, it won't be easy to remove the customs ingrained in people's minds... To overcome this crisis, we have no choice but to use Yewon...
