The only woman the tyrant loved
16. Price
정호석
It's been a long time since I've seen you face to face like this.
시녀 • 길소아
Bow_) … …
Hoseok and Soa met secretly late at night when no one was around.
정호석
I heard through the servant that you had been reporting on His Majesty's affairs.
시녀 • 길소아
Yes, that's right.
정호석
Thank you, but…
정호석
…But Your Majesty is getting married?! Do you think that’s right?
시녀 • 길소아
When I arrived here, His Majesty had already gotten married. I was surprised to learn this fact.
정호석
But in my opinion, it doesn't seem like they're in love...
시녀 • 길소아
I don't know about that either.
Meanwhile, Yeonjun is hiding behind Hoseok and Soa and eavesdropping.
최연준
(Mumbling) A man and a woman are having a secret meeting in the middle of the night...
최연준
I don't think we're usually close...
시녀 • 지우
(Whisper) Inspector.
On my way back from the bathroom, I saw Yeonjun, so I came over and whispered to him.
최연준
(Surprise + Whisper) What's going on here?
시녀 • 지우
(Haemaek + Sogeun) I saw the police officer going this way on my way back from the bathroom and followed him.
최연준
(I have nothing to say) … …
시녀 • 지우
(Haemaek) But what are you doing in the middle of the night, Detective? Are you playing hide-and-seek?
최연준
(Absurd) No
Jiwoo raises his head and looks around, and spots Hoseok and Soa.
시녀 • 지우
Hey, what are those two?
최연준
Shh! Be quiet!
시녀 • 지우
(ㅇ×ㅇ)
Rustle,ㅡ
정호석
Who's there?
Hoseok approaches Yeonjun and Jiwoo.
최연준
shit…
시녀 • 지우
Inspector, please run away quickly.
최연준
What? What is that…
When Yeonjun asks, "If I run away in this situation, what about your life?!" Jiwoo replies with a smile.
시녀 • 지우
I'll look away, so you can run away quickly, sir. Haha.
시녀 • 지우
If you look closely, that's the guy over there and the detective is running away.
최연준
………
Yeonjun is dumbfounded by Jiwoo's bright appearance.
정호석
I asked who was there.
Before I knew it, Hoseok came closer and the distance between us narrowed.
시녀 • 지우
Go quickly.
최연준
Okay, I'll repay this favor next time.
시녀 • 지우
Yes. Haha
Only after Yeonjun left did Jiwoo stretch and get up.
시녀 • 지우
Haam~ I slept well.
시녀 • 지우
(Acting) Huh? Where am I?
정호석
Who are you?!
When Jiwoo appears, Soa hides behind a pillar.
시녀 • 지우
Bow_) Hello. My name is Jiwoo, the maid of Her Majesty the Empress.
정호석
What is the Empress's maid doing here?
시녀 • 지우
Well? Me too...
시녀 • 지우
(Haemaek) I guess I walked here while sleeping. Haha
정호석
While sleeping?
시녀 • 지우
Yes! Sometimes I walk while sleeping.
정호석
ah…
시녀 • 지우
Then I'll go back to get some sleep.
정호석
for a moment…!!
시녀 • 지우
yes?
정호석
By any chance, how long has it been there?
시녀 • 지우
Well, I don't know.
정호석
Okay, go ahead.
시녀 • 지우
yes.
When Jiwoo leaves, Soa comes out.
시녀 • 길소아
Why did you save me?
시녀 • 길소아
What if that child hears this and tells the emperor?
정호석
It doesn't matter. I'll have to execute the plan sooner than expected.
A few days later
전정국
I haven't seen Park Jimin lately. Did you guys fight?
김태형
No. I left for a moment because I had something to do.
김태형
Why, what's going on?
전정국
(Sigh) No, not really..
전정국
What is this?
This is the document that Yoongi gave me a few days ago, saying it was about Soa.
※ Refer to episode 14
민윤기
"It's about that maid. Read it slowly."
민윤기
"We also thought about it a lot and told Your Majesty."
김태형
… … Come here.
전정국
ruler!
After receiving the documents, Taehyung opens them and checks the contents.
김태형
…?!!
Taehyung's face begins to harden as he checks the contents.
전정국
Why? What's the matter? Your face is frozen?
Taehyung reads the contents and calls Yeonjun to tell him to bring Soah up, but the door opens loudly and Harin comes in.
Bang,ㅡ
시녀장 • 진하린
I'm sorry, but I have something to tell you, Your Majesty.
김태형
I'm busy now. Talk to you later.
시녀장 • 진하린
No, Your Majesty, there is nothing more important than this right now.
김태형
Haa... So what's going on?
시녀장 • 진하린
Your Majesty, do not be surprised and listen.
시녀장 • 진하린
Her Majesty the Empress has disappeared.
