The Emperor's Fate

#01 The Beginning of Destiny

August 9, 1639

A group of young women stands in front of the palace.

여인 1

Go in, listen carefully, and do whatever you're told.

여인 1

If we make even the slightest mistake, we will never survive.

다른 여인들

yes

So the women entered the palace.

There were many people in the palace who seemed to be of high status.

There were mostly older noblemen there.

But among them, there was one man who looked as young as us.

여인들

Do you see that person?

여인들

I hope that tall man chooses me.

여인들

Hey, is that one mine?

여인들

What do you mean, he'll probably choose me?

나

Can we stop chatting and go inside?

여인들

Okay, let's go in quickly.

So we went into the room

여인들

Hello

양반들

Oh my~

양반들

There are a lot of pretty girls here.

여인들

ha ha ha

여인들

You are too kind

양반들

Come here

There was a reason I hadn't been here until now.

I hate this so much

양반들

Everyone, choose the girl you like.

So, one or two seats were created.

Each position was filled, but there were still two people who had not yet been chosen.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I was one of those two.

Now it was the young man's turn.

If I don't make the final choice, I'll die.

There was only one reason why others avoided me until now.

I'm perfect except for that reason

And I'm young

He was also famous for his outstanding looks.

But unlike the women who came with me

I was the only slave

That's why everyone avoids me.

Elsewhere and here too

So I actually came here prepared to die

Now if that man chooses the remaining woman, I die.

황민현

I will choose this girl

양반들

Why do you choose this lowly slave?

Yes, he chose me

황민현

So what if she is a slave or the daughter of a nobleman?

황민현

People should not be judged by their status.

양반들

Even so, it's not a good thing for you to be associated with a slave.

황민현

I would have chosen that woman even if she were not a slave but a lowly scoundrel.

양반들

Why do we make such unwise choices?

황민현

I think this is the wisest way

황민현

The moment I saw this woman, I knew it was fate.

양반들

If that's really you, then do it.

황민현

thank you

So the remaining woman died, not me, and I lived dramatically by that young man.

I'm more curious than anything right now about why he chose me.

But I'm too scared to ask now

I decided to ask him later because I was too young to ask him.

So the noblemen and women drank their wine, laughing and laughing.

Those who were drunk enough to get drunk went to the room with the woman.

But for some reason, the person who chose me didn't drink much.

Even when other noblemen offered him alcohol, he only took a sip and put his glass down.

I questioned every single thing that man did.

But I couldn't ask, so I just kept it to myself.

As time passed, people started to leave one by one, and now only the two of us were left.

I brought up the subject to ask something I had been wondering about earlier.

나

I....

황민현

that...

나

Speak first

황민현

No, you speak first

나

No, Nari, please speak first.

황민현

Then is it okay to do that?

나

Yes, Nari

황민현

Who are you

나

yes?

황민현

Oh, is there anything that is difficult to answer?

나

No, I'm just surprised you asked me that.

황민현

Oh, then can you answer?

나

I can give you an answer, but I don't know what you're looking for.

황민현

There is no answer I want

황민현

I just asked because I was curious about who you are that you have captured my heart so much.

나

yes?

황민현

Are you surprised?

나

I can't believe Nari feels that way about someone like me.

황민현

I know

황민현

I doubted myself at first too

황민현

But no matter how much I think about it, I think it's true that I'm possessed by you.

나

.....

황민현

I think I love you

나

But I am too lowly a slave to be loved by Nari.

나

And I love you b

황민현

Who said you were a lowly slave?

황민현

You are too lowly to be loved by me

나

No matter how much you say no, it's an unavoidable fact.

황민현

Who the hell is saying that?

황민현

Have you ever seen a child as pretty, beautiful, and lovely as you?

황민현

Do you know how I feel right now?

나

Other people said that earlier too

황민현

What kind of guy is he

나

yes?

황민현

I'll make sure you never play with me again.

나

lily...

황민현

I love you

나

So I don't know what to do and I don't know what it is

나

I have never received love since I was born.

황민현

Then I'll tell you
