The Empress is not the Emperor's lover
#32: Heaven or Hell (1)
시종
What? Well...?
민윤기
Usually, the Empress's or Emperor's palace would have a secret passage in a place like an underground area.
시종
W-wait a minute! You're not actually planning to go in there, are you?
민윤기
that's right
시종
Your Majesty! How dare a person from another empire, and an Emperor at that, intend to trespass into the Empress's bedroom?
민윤기
There's no other choice. That's the only way to save the Queen.
시종
Ha... Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better to speak to the Emperor of the Diamond Empire and enter?
민윤기
Do you think that person would allow that?
민윤기
Even if we allow it, it will take at least a few days. What if something happens to the Queen in the meantime?
시종
your majesty...
민윤기
Then please do it as soon as possible.

Mommy!
The village where I lived was a village where it always snowed.
엄마
Yeoju! You're going to fall if you keep running like that!
Since the average temperature was so low there, I always had to wear thick clothes, which was a bit inconvenient, but I was still happy.
어린 여주
(Hugging Mom) Whee... I like you, Mom!
엄마
Mom loves our Yeoju so much, too.
아빠
What? Were you all here?
어린 여주
Daddy!
아빠
Oh my! Our Yeoju has grown up so much!
My father used to carry ice from our neighborhood down to the village below and sell it.
엄마
(Smiling) You're here
Although I didn't earn much money, it was enough for a family of three to make a living if we were frugal.
엄마
Go inside quickly. It must be cold.
아빠
Oh my, it's been a while since I've been home, too.
엄마
That's true. It got especially delayed this time.
아빠
Yeah, this time there were quite a lot of people looking for ice.
엄마
That's a relief to hear that.
아빠
So I bought a gift for my daughter.
어린 여주
Wow! A gift?!
아빠
Here! A gift for our female lead
어린 여주
Wow!
The money my father earned was just enough to make ends meet; he didn't have enough leeway to buy gifts, so while it might have been ordinary to others, that teddy bear was more precious to me than my life.
That is how I grew up in a poor but happy environment.
유여주
Mom! Where did my basket go?
엄마
Huh? It's not there?
Starting when I was 17, I began collecting medicinal herbs that grow only in cold mountain regions to help support my family.
유여주
No, I don't...
엄마
Yeah, that basket is old too, so let's just throw it away.
유여주
It's still a waste...
엄마
Come to think of it, you're already 22.
유여주
Yeah, right~ I can't believe I've gotten this old
엄마
It's about time for our female lead to get married, too...
유여주
Hey Mom! Why are you taking it so seriously? I'll do it someday.
엄마
*Sigh*! It's not "someday," but now is the time to start looking into it quickly.
유여주
Ugh, seriously, nagging again! I'm leaving.
And I shouldn't have gone out alone back then.
Thank you for your support, Bangtansarunghae♥
