The only woman the tyrant loved
14. Silence
김태형
“I like you… I think I like you.”
유여주
your majesty…
김태형
I know. I'm the only one who likes it, not you. If the Empress tells me not to come, I won't. Is that so...
김태형
By myself…
유여주
Your Majesty, stop it.
김태형
…empress
유여주
Lost? We have a contractual relationship.
유여주
I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.
김태형
Hwang heh.
유여주
(Suddenly) I want to be alone. Please leave.
Taehyung gets up without saying anything and leaves the room.
Three days passed like that, and Taehyung was busy with various things and couldn't see Yeoju, and Yeoju just avoided Taehyung.
김태형
Sigh-
박지민
What's going on?
김태형
no.
박지민
Then why do you breathe so little?
김태형
No... What brings you here?
박지민
… Last time, you asked me to investigate Her Majesty the Empress’s time as Crown Princess.
김태형
So, did you find out?
박지민
Nod_) Yes, it is rumored that the Emperor of the One-Tret Empire was very violent.
박지민
It is said that they attacked indiscriminately, without discrimination. Her Majesty the Empress was no exception. And it is said that they were particularly harsh on Her Majesty the Empress.
김태형
I see... Is there anything else?
박지민
That… I am ashamed to say this to Your Majesty.
김태형
What does that mean? Tell me, please.
Jimin hesitates for a moment and then opens his mouth.
박지민
In fact, it is said that Her Majesty the Empress had a fiancé when she was crown princess.
김태형
…What? Is that true?
박지민
But they broke off the engagement a few months later. The reason is still unknown.
김태형
Okay, I understand. Just go out and try again.
박지민
Bow_) Yes, Your Majesty.
A few minutes after Jimin leaves, Harin comes in.
김태형
What's going on?
시녀장 • 진하린
Your Majesty, your guests have arrived.
김태형
Guest? Who is the guest?
시녀장 • 진하린
I think you'll understand when you see it.
김태형
?
Harin opens the door with a smile and a man comes in.
"I see the sun of the Elijah Empire."
김태형
Bam_) Brother!
I get up from my seat and run to Namjoon.
김남준
Long time no see, Your Majesty.
김남준
How have you been?
김태형
Of course. What about you, brother? How have you been?
김남준
Yes, I've been doing well. Haha
김남준
I have someone I would like to introduce to Your Majesty.
김태형
Who…?
김남준
Come in.
The door opens and someone comes in.
정호석
Bow_) I see the sun of the Elijah Empire.
김남준
We met at the border and became friends.
정호석
My name is Jeong Ho-seok.
김남준
I came here without any plan because I wanted to see Your Majesty.
김남준
Please forgive my rudeness.
김태형
No, I'm fine.
김남준
By the way, I heard that you got married while I was away.
김태형
Ah.. yes. That's how it happened.
김남준
I would like to meet Her Majesty the Empress...
김태형
… … No, I will call you.
Taehyung tells Harin to call Yeoju.
유여주
What…?
시녀장 • 진하린
It is as I said. I request to see Your Majesty.
시녀장 • 진하린
If you don't like it, just decline.
유여주
No. I'll go.
dripping_
시녀장 • 진하린
Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress has arrived.
김태형
…come in.
As soon as the female lead comes in, Taehyung approaches her and introduces her to Namjoon.
김태형
Greetings, I am Empress Elijah of the Empire.
김남준
Bow_) I see the moon of the Elijah Empire.
김남준
I am Your Majesty's cousin.
유여주
Bow_) Ah.. hello.
김남준
Thank you for your hard work in assisting our Majesty.
유여주
No, it's okay.
김남준
Ah! Let me introduce myself. This is my friend, Jeong Ho-seok.
When Yeo-ju saw Hoseok's face, she was so surprised that she froze in place.
정호석
Sing_) Nice to meet you. I'm Jung Ho-seok.
유여주
…?!
