The only woman the tyrant loved
19. Let's see it alive
10 minutes before meeting Yeoju
김태형
First, Yeonjun, you save Jiwoo, and Hyung, you deal with the people outside.
민윤기
So, Your Majesty, in the meantime, you are saying that you will rescue Your Majesty the Empress. I understand.
김태형
Let's all meet again alive.
최연준
Yes, Your Majesty.
Jiwoo squatting in prison.
시녀 • 지우
Oh... Your Majesty...
"Why, you bastard?!"
Jiwoo is terrified when he hears noise and the sound of knives being wielded outside the prison.
bang_
시녀 • 지우
Huh!
When he hears the door opening, Jiwoo covers his mouth with his hand and squeezes his eyes shut.
최연준
…What are you doing here? Get up. Let’s get out of here.
Jiwoo cautiously opens his eyes when he hears a familiar voice.
시녀 • 지우
Fed... Inspector... Sir...
There was blood on Yeonjun's clothes and face.
시녀 • 지우
Blood…?
최연준
It's not my blood.
최연준
You're okay.
When Yeonjun saw Jiwoo's condition, he saw that there were bruises all over his face, arms, and legs.
시녀 • 지우
I'm fine. Come on, Your Majesty...
Jiwoo says he is okay, covers the bruise with the hem of his clothes, and says he must save Yeoju first.
최연준
… Okay, let’s get out of here quickly.
When Yeonjun reaches out, Jiwoo grabs Yeonjun's hand and tries to come out, but when Soa stands there, Yeonjun tells Jiwoo to evacuate to a safe place.
시녀 • 지우
yes..
As Jiwoo evacuates to safety, Yeonjun raises his knife and approaches Soa.
시녀 • 길소아
…I can’t take even one step out of here.
최연준
Sigh_) What will you do if I leave? lol
The sound of two swords rubbing against each other resonates.
Meanwhile, Taehyung is just embarrassed by Yeoju's actions.
김태형
Empress, what is this…?
When Taehyung tries to approach Yeoju, Yeoju speaks without changing her expression.
유여주
Don't move. If you move, I will strike Your Majesty immediately.
김태형
Okay, okay, so put this knife down.
유여주
Put the knife away.
Taehyung carefully puts down the knife.
정호석
Hahahahahaha!! It looks really good.
정호석
The emperor and empress of an empire pointing their swords at each other... This is truly an event that will go down in history.
유여주
You shut up too. You too will move and kill.
정호석
all right.
When the female lead gives him a warning look, Ho-seok closes his mouth and says he understands.
유여주
Your Majesty, I will now ask you four questions. Please answer them truthfully, without any lies.
김태형
Okay, I'll tell you the truth.
유여주
First, what am I to Your Majesty?
김태형
What is it? It is the moon of the Elijah Empire and my only companion.
유여주
…my second question. From the time you first met me until now, has there ever been a time when you lied to me?
김태형
No. I have never lied to you.
유여주
Well then... let me ask you a third question. Did my father participate in the murder of Your Majesty's older brother?
김태형
…
유여주
Why aren't you talking?!
유여주
My father asked me if I had killed the first prince of the Elijah Empire.
김태형
……right..
유여주
Huh… That’s ridiculous.
The female protagonist knew, but upon hearing it directly from Taehyung, she was shocked and put down her sword.
김태형
Empress, that's not it...
As Taehyung takes a step closer, Yeoju points the knife at Taehyung's neck again.
유여주
Please don't come near me.
He puts the knife to Taehyung's neck again.
The Fed and Soa are in a difficult situation as they point their swords at each other.
최연준
Don't give up now. You're going to die anyway.
시녀 • 길소아
Since I'm going to die anyway, it's better to just kill you and leave.
최연준
Sigh... Let me ask you just one thing.
최연준
Who hit that kid?
시녀 • 길소아
(Laughing) I hit most of them. Haha
최연준
(As if it's ridiculous) Huh... Why? Why, did you do that?!
최연준
That kid was so good to you... What did you do to that kid...
시녀 • 길소아
What the hell... I didn't like that kid from the start. It annoyed me that he dared to joke around with His Majesty while I was away.
최연준
So you hit that kid?
시녀 • 길소아
Well... that's right. Haha
최연준
(Anger) This bitch!!
시녀 • 길소아
Wow - Detective Choi Yeon-jun, who always maintains his composure, breaks down especially when it comes to that kid.
최연준
Shut up!!
시녀 • 길소아
But somehow, it seems like you're the one who needs to shut up.
최연준
what…?
When Yeonjun looks back, Jiwoo is caught and cannot move.
시녀 • 길소아
How is it? It doesn't look very good. Haha
최연준
……
시녀 • 길소아
What are you doing? You can't let go of that knife.
유여주
Okay, now for the last question.
유여주
If I take this sword away, will you kill me?
김태형
…… no.
김태형
I will save the Empress. If the Empress wishes to live, I will save her. If the Empress wishes to die, I will save her.
정호석
(Ear-piercing) What the hell are you talking about?
김태형
So come live with me and go to Elijah.
정호석
That's...!! Don't try to persuade His Majesty!!
As Hoseok approaches, Hoseok gets hurt on his arm and collapses on the spot.
정호석
Ugh...!!
정호석
Your Majesty, what are you doing?!
