Sigh... Reminiscence... Sacrifice... The Story of the Seven Princes

ep 97. swamp

Minhyuk is watching the news as usual

Instead 1: It has been over 10 years since Namok and Shinjeo started communicating.

Instead 1: The damage suffered in the process is not small.

(왕) 민혁🌑

so?

Instead 1: How about we just cut off communication?

(왕) 민혁🌑

Cut off contact with Namok...?

Instead 1: Yes.

(왕) 민혁🌑

In the process, we acquired military strategies and weapons and grew into the great nation we are today.

(왕) 민혁🌑

Are you telling me to hit the back of the head?

Instead 1: That's not it...

(왕) 민혁🌑

No, really.

(왕) 민혁🌑

Are you still concerned about interacting with 'barbarians'?

(왕) 민혁🌑

So you're talking about 'war' so easily?

Instead 1: I...there was no mention of war.

(왕) 민혁🌑

Let's cut off contact with Namok... I mean, let's hit her on the back of the head.

(왕) 민혁🌑

That means Namok might invade.

(왕) 민혁🌑

Namok is a military powerhouse.

(왕) 민혁🌑

If it's Namok, there's no reason to avoid war.

(왕) 민혁🌑

If Namok and Jeon Neng fight, Shinjeo will be ruined.

(왕) 민혁🌑

and...

(왕) 민혁🌑

I'm sick of war now

(왕) 민혁🌑

Dismissed.

Instead 1: ...

(왕) 민혁🌑

It's been over 10 years since I last interacted with Namok...

(왕) 민혁🌑

10 years...

(왕) 민혁🌑

Until then, I didn't know I would become king...

(왕) 민혁🌑

Eun-kwang hyung...

(왕) 민혁🌑

ha...

(왕) 민혁🌑

This can't happen again...

(왕) 민혁🌑

more..

(왕) 민혁🌑

I miss you...

Minhyuk's Point of View

Eun-kwang Lee died.

That was a long time ago.

I cried a lot back then too...

It still makes me sad to think about it.

late

A letter that Eun-kwang wrote to me...

Places we used to go together

Even if I just go to the place where the kids used to gather

I thought I was going crazy because I thought of Eun-kwang hyung...

At some point

Since when

It's all so strange

It died down.

like

Inside the iron bars on one side of the chest

I feel like that memory is sealed

But that seal

really

too

It's easy to solve.

If someone just touches it once

As if someone had released poison

It spreads quickly throughout the mind.

When that seal becomes stronger

Seongjae died.

He was killed unexpectedly by assassins sent by the poor.

In fact, it was an attempt to clear Seongjae's name.

My wrong choice killed Seongjae.

From then on, I lost confidence in my choices.

I wonder if I'll kill someone again

I was scared.

But the king's seat

Not only me and those around me

There are many instances where we must make choices that will determine the fate of all of us.

In the meantime

정국🌞

There's no need to do that.

정국🌞

Whatever choice my brother makes...

정국🌞

I don't blame my brother.

정국🌞

I'm on your side too.

The person who told me that

Dead.

Officially, he's been dead for quite some time.

In reality, he died not long ago.

After going through two pains

Now we have entered the sealing stage.

I shed fewer and fewer tears.

My heart hurts, but

No tears came out.

actually

Because I almost killed Jeongguk once already

I couldn't believe it.

Even now

정국🌞

brother!

Calling it that

It feels like he'll come running...

Now that bright smile

The fact that you can't see

It wasn't easy to believe.

.

Death is

Not just me

My brothers...

Even to my son

It was so cruel.

like

It was like a big swamp.

Experiencing death for the first time

For the first time, I felt my heart breaking

To get out of there

To get back to normal life

I struggled like crazy.

But my actions

And drove someone else to death

Someone else got sucked into the swamp.

I feel like I'm falling for it too...
