My husband from the neighboring kingdom
#_1 : What? You're saying I'm an option?
김여주
Hmm... Is it morning?
bang-
강다니엘
Hah—Kim Yeo-ju, aren't you getting up! Do you need to be hit to come to your senses?
김여주
Ugh... Brother...
강다니엘
Who is your older brother? You filthy bitch.
Smack-
강다니엘
This is why you're not treated like a human being. You need to know your place. Tsk—what a nuisance.
This is my daily life..
You get hit whether you wake up early or late.
An everyday life where I get hit again and again just for existing.
강다니엘
2 minutes
bang-
김여주
2 minutes... Looks like I'm going to get hit again..
2 minutes... That is far too little time to get everything ready.
김여주
Every minute this time? I hope it's not seconds, at least..
Whoosh-
김여주
Ah, that stings..!
My body was always covered in wounds.
I have been beaten constantly since I turned five.
The reason is me, the reason I am alive.
황민현
(Chuckle) You're bold—thinking of eating with us.
김여주
... I'm sorry
강다니엘
(Seriously) I said 2 minutes, when did I say I'd give you 20 minutes?
김여주
I prepared this as quickly as possible, too.
Smack-
강다니엘
Shut up. If you did something wrong, you should be punished, right? Take him away.
황민현
Daniel, let him go.
김여주
Oh... Duck Bunny!!
황민현
Tsk—shut up... At least feed me so I have strength. Taking me home later is filthy and disgusting.
As expected... Minhyun oppa probably won't take my side...
김예원
Brothers! Did you sleep well? Hehe!
강다니엘
Aww~, is our Yewon awake? Don't look at dirty things first thing in the morning, go stay with Minhyun hyung~! Kim Yeoju, what are you doing? Get lost.
황민현
Yewon, come here! You might catch germs!
Thump-
김여주
ah...
You just... kicked me on purpose, right...? Still, I'm the older one...
Yewon is the youngest and is growing up receiving a lot of love, unlike me.
김예원
(Annoyed) Ugh—that's gross, Oppa! I just bumped into this kid!
김여주
... M-m-sorry
puck-
황민현
Can't you even be careful about that?
김여주
*Cough*- *Gasp*..
황민현
Yewon got dirty because of you, drag her away!
Ah... I... can't breathe properly...
김여주
Oh... uh... Brother... I'll be... careful... Please...
Pak-
황민현
Shut up—, drag them away! Drag them away and don't give them anything.
강다니엘
Yewon~ Oppa's hand hurts..?
김예원
I'll give you a kiss!
김여주
Oh... Brother! I did something wrong..! Please let me go.. Brother..
Ha... I wonder how long I'll be trapped this time...
Click-
하성운
Did you get locked up again?
김여주
S-Seongun Oppa!
김여주
Uh... uh... please... please let me go... Brother...
하성운
(Seriously) Why should I do that? There must be a reason you were locked up.
김여주
N...Yes?
하성운
If I let you go, what can you do for me? I don't do things that aren't in my best interest.
김여주
I... I'll give you! Anything! If it's something I can give you... anything...!
하성운
Really? Then die. We're comfortable without you.
I knew this would happen... Seong-un oppa hates me the most in my family, so there's no way he would let me go... But... wouldn't it be easier if I really died?
하성운
Hahahaha- There's no way you could die. You, who don't have a shred of courage. If you can't die, kill Park Woojin and Kim Yewon.
김여주
Ba... Park Woojin...?
Me... me being told to kill someone... But how?
김여주
How am I supposed to kill her...? You like Kim Ye-won, Oppa...
하성운
Hehehe, you're so simple-minded. I tell you, if you just change your behavior a little, they think you like them.
So... that was all a lie?!
하성운
Engagement... you know Kim Yewon and Park Woojin are getting engaged soon, right?
김여주
Y...Yes!
하성운
You're going to get engaged too. It's an option, I guess lol.
So you're telling me to get engaged to Kim Ye-won for the same man?!
하성운
(Grins) You understand quickly. Once the engagement is over, Park Woojin will stay at Woori Castle before the wedding ceremony. Please take care of this before the ceremony starts if possible.
김여주
Yes... yes, yes! Before the ceremony... I... I'll make sure to handle this quickly...
하성운
Are you scared of me?
김여주
...Ah... no, no! I'm not scared... But if I kill Kim Yewon, my brothers will be angry...
Then they'll find out that I did it... If I get caught, I'll receive a punishment even worse than now.... That...! I don't want to... I could die this time!.... But couldn't I just not get punished?
If I comfort the grieving brothers like Kim Yewon did, that love might come to me! If I handle it well, Seong-un oppa will like me too!
김여주
But... I didn't hear anything about the engagement...?
하성운
Of course. Because it's going to happen soon. I'm going to tell you today, so the word will reach you. Make sure you remember... You have to pretend this is the first time you've heard about the engagement... Otherwise, you'll be finished before the plan even begins— *Chop*—
Ah... that's right. If it turns out this isn't the first time I've heard this, I'll be misunderstood as having bugged them, and considering how much they hate me, my brothers would be more than capable of killing me... Ha... life-
Ah... I'm such a fool...
To think I suddenly signed a contract based on just that one promise to get me out...
How could you kill someone... and even an engagement...
김여주
Ah... what should I do... I don't think they like me either... Besides, I'm the Empress and it's obvious Kim Ye-won is the Empress...
김여주
I'm going to get chewed out by Kim Ye-won... since I suddenly barged into their private engagement...
김여주
Come to think of it, I didn't even ask about the engagement date.
bang-
배진영
Fuck, Kim Yeo-ju
김여주
J...Jinyoung oppa
Crash-
배진영
How did you eat Seong-un hyung to make him act like that?
김여주
N...Huh? What is that...
*Pow*
배진영
"What did you do for Seongwoon hyung to suddenly suggest sending you to Prince Park Woojin too? Do you know how much Yewon cried because of you?"
이대휘
Jinyoung hyung! Jisung hyung is calling. Go ahead, I'll handle this part.
김여주
H-h-h-h... c-h...
이대휘
Hey, shut up.
Smack-
김여주
Ah... let... my... hair... let go! I'm your older sister! Calling me 'hey'...! How rude...?
Swoosh-
이대휘
I don't acknowledge anyone younger than me as my older sister. Who are you to try and teach me? You're the one with no manners. Do you expect to be our equal after inheriting such filthy blood?
이대휘
Okay, you're going to go to Prince Park Woo-jin.
김여주
Ba... Park Woojin...?
*Pow*
이대휘
How dare you even mention someone's name! And your future husband at that! That brother is really pitiful... To think he took someone like you—and as an added bonus, too.
이대휘
The engagement is in five days, on August 7th. You aren't marrying the person you love; you're being sold off. Just take care of Yewon.
김여주
I know that too..... Ack-!
Crack-
이대휘
How dare you talk back? If you cause even the slightest harm, dying will be easier than living. Just figure it out yourself.
