"Your Majesty, your fingernails are damaged."
진여주
"Ah. Okay.. next time."
Rattling-!!
시녀
"Your Majesty! Her Majesty the Empress is showing us the way!!!"
Suddenly-
진여주
"Is that true?!"
Stand tall-
Jeonghan, who had just arrived at the office and was about to enter, stopped in his tracks at the mention of the road. Watching the delighted Yeoju's face through the crack in the office, Jeonghan was filled with anticipation for the despair that would later twist into her face.
윤정한
“Didn’t I tell you that your only answer is me?”
Squeak- rattle-
윤정한
"Your Majesty, I have come to hear good news. I hear Your Majesty the Empress is coming to see you?"
진여주
" ..Yeah, come to think of it, is Jeonghan okay?"
윤정한
"Smile) Yes, it's okay."
Everything is okay now because I know you will come to me soon.
시녀
"Your Majesty, have you arrived?"
진여주
"Stay out for a while."
시녀
" yes. "
Squeak- rattle-
The maid who had been caring for Seungcheol left, and the female protagonist sat down next to him. Although he hadn't yet regained consciousness, the sight of Seungcheol breathing more comfortably than before seemed like a sign that he would wake up soon, and it gave me strength.
진여주
" ....Sorry. "
I'm sorry, Empress. In the end, I couldn't protect you. The female protagonist carefully stroked Seungcheol's head. When was it? I think there was a time when I stroked the Empress's head like this...
Oh, I remembered
When Seungcheol was a prince and I was a princess, I patted his head and tried to comfort him as he cried secretly in the annex where we lived together.
It was only later that I heard from The8 that everyone ignored and ostracized Seungcheol when I was away, and I scolded the servants in the separate building a lot.
진여주
"I will punish all those who harassed the Empress."
진여주
"Now get up....."
In fact, Yeo-ju thought that she hoped Seung-cheol would feel that she was giving him more affectionate love than anyone else at this moment.
최한솔
"Please explain to me, Your Majesty, what happened?"
윤정한
"I've been waiting for you, Hansol."
Hansol, who heard that Seungcheol was showing off his skills, went to Jeonghan's place. Jeonghan greeted him with such leisurely tea, as if he didn't see the wrath he felt, that Hansol's feelings were twisted.
최한솔
"If the Empress wakes up like that, I won't be able to send this document either. Do you understand?"
윤정한
"Don't worry, Duke, the poison he drank wasn't that weak."
윤정한
"Whether he wakes up or not, he will not be able to live a normal life, or he will lose all his memories and become a bum who doesn't even know who I am."
Hansol's expression finally relaxed at Jeonghan's words and he handed the document he was holding to his servant requesting Jeonghan to become the Empress, or more precisely, the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guard. He did not forget to also tell him to send it to the Emperor immediately along with other official documents.
Two people leisurely raised their teacups.
윤정한
"This is the end of it all"
최한솔
"It's a shame to not be able to see how ugly the Empress is falling apart."
The two of them had a pleasant tea time, and Hansol, who had left Jeonghan's quarters, headed to the west palace where Seungcheol was instead of outside.
Squeak- rattle-
Hansol, who had checked Seungcheol's empty room and the area around it, went inside.
Hansol, facing Seungcheol, who was barely breathing as if he were dead, just stared at him. He hated to admit it, but his face, which had many similarities to his own, crumpled with expression. The only difference was the blood type.
최한솔
"Why was it you and not me?"
Why did she choose you over me? Hansol impulsively grabbed Seungcheol's neck, almost strangling him. But he quickly came to his senses and let go. There was no reason to get blood on his hands.
최한솔
"Your life is really pitiful. If you had just lived within your means, you wouldn't have ended up here."
최한솔
"Please, die lamenting your fate."
최승철
(Crunch-)
As Hansol devoted himself to evil and cursed Seungcheol, Seungcheol's fingers moved under the bed. Fortunately or unfortunately, Hansol didn't notice it and left the West Palace.
It was the first time Seungcheol had fought desperately to live.
