The only woman the tyrant loved
21. Is this a dream?
전정국
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress's life is not in danger thanks to Her Majesty's quick stopping of the bleeding, but...
전정국
The chances of waking up are slim.
김태형
……
박지민
Min Yoon-ha is now at Her Majesty's side. So, Your Majesty, please receive treatment. Your Majesty, too, is injured.
김태형
I'm fine.. I'll go to the Empress.
Taehyung gets up and tries to leave the room, but Jimin grabs him.
박지민
No, Your Majesty is also injured.
김태형
I'm really okay. Don't worry.
박지민
Even if Your Majesty says it's okay, we here are not okay.
박지민
Your Majesty, I hope you're well. Your Majesty, the Empress, will be fine too. So please get well soon. I'm not asking this as Your Majesty's subject, but as Your Majesty's friend.
전정국
Yes. Park Jimin is right. Get treatment quickly.
As Jimin and Jungkook come out, Namjoon, who had been waiting outside, approaches them.
김남준
Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty alright?
전정국
I've called the doctor and am currently receiving treatment. Please go in now and see His Majesty.
김남준
It's okay. Is Your Majesty the Empress okay?
박지민
Fortunately, there is no danger to life, but the chances of waking up are low.
김남준
Haa… I see.
김남준
You guys go in and rest too.
박지민
Nod_) Yes.
전정국
You should rest too, hyung.
A month later
김태형
Say it again.
"That is... Since Her Majesty the Empress is now at risk of death, Her Majesty the Empress must be dethroned as soon as possible."
For a month, Yeoju remained in a coma, unable to wake up. News of her condition reached the ministers, and with each passing day, petitions calling for her dethronement multiplied.
김태형
Huh? Didn't they say that if you don't like the empress, you should take her in? But now, you're treating her like a dead person, as if she were on the brink of death... Dethrone her.
The minister in front of Taehyung is sweating and trembling.
김태형
You must have gone crazy trying to die.
Taehyung killed the minister with a knife, and blood splattered everywhere, including Taehyung's body.
김태형
ha…
Taehyung throws the knife and runs away.
최연준
Should I tell the maids to prepare a bath?
김태형
Okay. I want to be alone. Don't let anyone in.
최연준
Yes, Your Majesty
김태형
ha…
Taehyung lies on the bed and sees blood on his body.
"The criminal Kim Seok-jin has committed treason and is sentenced to death. Do you have any final words?"
김석진
(Absurd laughter) One last thing I have to say... Go and tell my father. Was I ever his son for even a moment?
김석진
If so, why didn't you save your son?
“…execute the sentence.”
Taehyung runs out of breath and approaches Seokjin, but is stopped by the palace knight.
김태형
Let go of this!! Let go of this!!
Seokjin smiles as he looks at Taehyung.
"Taehyung, hehe.."
김태형
No!! No!!
김태형
Bam_) No!
When Taehyung gets up, the female lead is sitting in front of him.
유여주
What did you dream about? Are you sweating?
김태형
empress..
유여주
Did you have a bad dream?
Taehyung hugs the woman in front of him tightly.
유여주
Your Majesty, why are you like that?
김태형
Empress... Do you know how worried I was?
유여주
I'm sorry for worrying your Majesty. Haha
김태형
No. I'm glad you're here in front of me.
He looks into her eyes again and strokes her cheek.
김태형
It's like a dream. The Empress is in front of me.
유여주
Smile_) Heh..
Taehyung's expression hardens as he sees the smiling female lead.
김태형
Is this a dream?
