후이

"ha ha ha..."

후이

"These are..."

Hui and the soldiers went around the village looking for rain.

Woogi went deep into the forest and held his breath.

우기

"Huh, huh"

Woogi held a long wooden stick in his hand and was ready to attack at any moment.

But large tears flowed down from Woogi's eyes, and he kept wiping them away so that they would not obscure his vision.

우기

"Sob_sob_"

I didn't want to believe it, but Minhyuk's death was a predictable fact.

우기

'I'll definitely come...'

우기

'I told you I was coming.'

우기

'I'll definitely come...'

But tears continued to fall from Woogi's eyes.

우기

'Should I run further?'

우기

'If I go any further, I won't know the way either...'

Military: "Oh, shit. Where the hell did you go?"

Military: "How long do we have to search for it..."

At that moment, the voices of the Spanish soldiers were heard and Ugi held his breath.

Woogi's left hand was tightly gripping a wooden stick, and his other hand was covering his mouth to muffle his breathing.

The soldiers gradually approached where Woogi was, and Woogi's heart beat faster.

Military: "Huh? Found it!"

Military: "Found it!"

우기

"shit!"

Woogi first struck the soldier who had found him with a stick and then ran deeper into the forest.

But other soldiers who had already heard the military's voice were rushing in.

bang!

우기

"Ugh_"

A soldier's bullet hit Ugi's leg.

But Ugi ran away with all his might, dragging one leg.

우기

"omg!"

Now there were soldiers on the road ahead of Ugi, and he was completely surrounded.

우기

"Haa...haa..."

후이

"Is that you?"

후이

"The one who tried to kill me."

우기

"......"

후이

"Your lover is already dead."

우기

"Then why don't you hurry up and kill him?!"

후이

"hmm..."

후이

"Take it."

Woogi was captured and taken back to the barracks.

후이

"Don't worry."

후이

"I will kill you tomorrow..."

After Hui left, Ugi was left with his arms tied to a pole until the next morning.

There was no emotion in Woogi's eyes, and the leg that had been shot was in agony as if it would break.

The next day came in such pain.

Two soldiers came in, untied the ropes that bound Ugi, and took him out of the barracks, leaving only his two arms tied.

Hui clicked his tongue as he looked at the helpless, drooping Ugi.

후이

"Tsk.."

후이

"Call the Incas."

The Incas gathered, and Huy took Ugi and went out to meet the people.

창섭

"Huh? I don't see any rain."

은광

"Seo..Seop.. over there.."

The place that Eun-gwang pointed to with his finger was where Hui was coming up with Woo-gi.

창섭

"Uh... isn't it rainy season?"

소연

"Sister! It's Woogi."

미연

"Huh? Huh...?"

"Aren't you the youngest princess?"

"I...damn it..."

"Now even the princess..."

When the emperor died, the people's emotions, which had been silent in fear, now boiled with anger.

"Hey! You guys don't see anything?!"

"Do you know who that person is?!"

"You rotten bastards!"

As people shouted, Hui also raised his voice and spoke.

후이

"Today, it's not the princess, but the thug who tried to assassinate me."

"Oh, what a shame. You should succeed and kill that rotten bastard."

"Yeah. You guys did something that deserved your death, didn't you?!"

후이

"Haa... I can't help it."

Hui held a knife to the neck of Wu Qi, who was kneeling with his hands tied.

Then people became even more enraged.

"Hey!! What are you doing!"

"Don't you want to take it off right now?!"

은광

"Ah... no!"

은광

"I... General!"

은광

"I think the child made a mistake because he couldn't control his anger."

은광

"If you could just forgive me this once..."

후이

"then..."

후이

"Will you die in my place?"

우기

"?!"

후이

"This child's father is dead and you are all adults, so can you say you are this child's parents?"

우기

"Nonsense!"

우기

“Why should someone else be held responsible for what I did?!”

우기

“I took responsibility for this on my own without any prior consultation.”

우기

"If you're going to kill me, do it quickly."

은광

"It's raining!"

우기

"It's okay, oppa."

우기

"That's what I did."

우기

"Let me finish it."

후이

"Aren't you really scared?"

우기

"......"

Of course, I was also afraid of the rain.

I had always been prepared for it, but when death actually came right before my eyes, I trembled with fear.

but

우기

'It's because I failed.'

우기

'I can't let someone else die in my place.'

My last remaining conscience, my sense of responsibility, and the glimmer of hope that my death might inspire the Incas to expel Huy.

Because of them, I overcame my fear and made a choice.

후이

"You're fearless."

후이

"You're ignorant..."

우기

"no.."

우기

"It's not that I'm ignorant... it's that I'm brave."

우기

"Ignorance is the absence of fear."

우기

"Courage is conquering fear."

우기

"It's not that I'm not afraid.."

우기

"Something greater than fear..."

우기

"I overcame my fear."
