(Short story) The Legend of the Flower

July 1st Pine Needle Chrysanthemum (Sugar)

김여주

Can't I?

민윤기

You can change it, because you're the queen.. (snickers)

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful queen named Kim Yeo-ju.

김여주

Hmm...pretty...

She wasn't as nice as she seemed.

김여주

It's all mine...it's all mine...

She had a hobby of collecting gems.

This kingdom is ruled by the Persian Kim Yeo-ju.

He made a law that required the people to pay their taxes in jewels.

All merchants' tolls were paid in jewels.

병사

Your Majesty... Protests from the people keep coming in...

김여주

If you don't like it, tell them to get out of this country.

김여주

The cost of going out is in jewels...lol

The number of merchants coming into Persia decreased and the people became tired.

But she was greedy and didn't give up.

Then one day

The village was abuzz with talk that a man had come from a country in the east carrying twelve boxes of jewels on twelve elephants.

The queen heard the sound and called him.

김여주

Hey, is that guy still far away..?

병사

No, it'll be here soon

김여주

i get it

rattle

As soon as he came in, the jewels sparkled.

민윤기

Hello Queen

She is so excited by the beautiful jewels she sees for the first time that she says she will buy them all, but the treasury is already empty.

National treasury (the country's safe)

She has an embarrassed face and he

민윤기

How about exchanging one citizen for one jewel?

She didn't hesitate for a second

김여주

Yeah, right

He exchanged all the jewels and people in twelve boxes, and when the last jewel remained, he was about to leave.

민윤기

Second... Then I'll go now, Your Majesty.

김여주

Oh, wait a minute, there's only one left.

민윤기

But there are no people left...?

김여주

Me...I can't do it?

민윤기

You can change it, you are the queen.

김여주

Nod

The moment I handed over the jewels, there was a loud bang and they burst and scattered everywhere.

The queen and her man were not in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

In the place where the debris was scattered after the explosion, beautiful flowers of various colors bloomed.

I think the queen and the jewel exploded together...
