The result of trust
Episode 94. What I Forgot


After the festival, Minhyuk and Seulgi went back to where Seulgi was staying.

It was to get permission from Seolgi's father to get married.

Father: Yes? You're getting married?


민혁
Yes, please allow me.

Father: Are you sure you want to marry my daughter?


민혁
yes.

Father: I'm sorry, but I think there's been a misunderstanding.

Father: My daughter had a chronic illness when she was young...


민혁
I know.

Father: So you still want to get married?


민혁
yes.

Father: Why?


민혁
It doesn't really matter to me.


민혁
What's important to me is...


민혁
Because Seolgi is by my side.


민혁
Actually, I have something to say too.


민혁
I have almost no home.

Father: What does that have to do with anything?

Father: Thank you. Thank you very much.


민혁
Oh... no.


민혁
I am more grateful.

Father: We will set up a wedding ceremony as soon as possible.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan.

but...


민혁
'I think I forgot something...'


민혁
'Something very important...'


민혁
I think I need to go to Hanyang for a bit.


민혁
Because His Majesty called me.


슬기
Oh, yes. Have a nice trip.


민혁
I'll be back soon.


슬기
Have a safe trip.

After running for several days like that, we arrived in Hanyang.


민혁
The thief Lee Ga-min-hyeok responds to His Majesty's call.


남준
Yeah. How's the area?


민혁
There are enough soldiers to drive out the immigrants.


민혁
However, it seems like he hasn't been properly trained, so I'm training him properly.


남준
okay.


남준
Is there anything else you need?


민혁
yes.


남준
I heard you're getting married.


민혁
Ah..yes.


남준
You're the daughter of the palace manager, right?


민혁
yes.


남준
If you look at the fact that they even got married there...


남준
I guess you have no intention of coming back.


민혁
......


남준
Step back.


민혁
yes.


민혁
ha...


민혁
Long time no see, Hanyang.


민혁
Should I take a look around?

Minhyuk looked around the market-like place along the road he used to take to and from work.


민혁
'Long time no see...'


민혁
uh?


민혁
what...

Minhyuk's gaze was fixed on a woman in shabby clothes.


민혁
Excuse me... Wait a minute!

Minhyuk ran after the woman.


민혁
Okay...just a minute!

When Minhyuk grabbed the woman's wrist, the woman turned around.


민혁
Haa... haa...


민혁
Queen Mother.


수영
?!


수영
Sir?


수영
What's going on?


민혁
Where have you been all this time?


수영
Ah, I became a government slave in the town next door...


민혁
ah..


민혁
His Majesty...has missed you very much.


민혁
Every time I come to Hanyang, he asks me to find out where Mama is.


수영
......


수영
Are you doing well now?


민혁
yes?


수영
Your Majesty.


수영
How are you doing now?


수영
I heard you went to Juve...


민혁
...ah....


민혁
That...that's...


민혁
Haven't you heard the news?


수영
What is it?


민혁
Two years ago... I took the poison given to me by His Majesty and...


수영
yes?!


수영
No..are you kidding?


민혁
sorry..


민혁
Sorry... I'm sorry...


수영
Huh_huh_Musa-sama.. Really..?


민혁
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

Minhyuk could only say sorry to Sooyoung, who was sobbing on the floor.


민혁
Me...even this...

Minhyuk handed over a pouch.

Inside it were the sea sand and seashells that Minhyuk had given to Seongjae and Suyeong.


수영
Hehe, thank you.


민혁
If you tell me where you live, I will take you to the grave later.


수영
Thank you so much...


민혁
I'm so sorry.


수영
Where do you work now?


민혁
I work as a military commissioner in South Chungcheong Province.


민혁
I came to Hanyang for a while because of work.


민혁
If you don't mind, wouldn't it be convenient for you to come to the area where I work?


수영
Even if I were comfortable...I probably wouldn't be able to go.


민혁
why?


민혁
I'm a thief.

Minhyuk led Sooyoung to the place where Sooyoung lived.

???: Where have you been and why are you back now!

???: Is that one errand that difficult?


수영
I'm sorry...

Minhyuk caught the hand flying towards Sooyoung.

???: Who are you?


민혁
My name is Lee Ga Min-hyeok, the governor of South Chungcheong Province.


민혁
I would like to see the head of this office.

???: Please wait a moment.

???: You follow me.

Minhyuk grabbed Suyeong's arm as she tried to follow him and dragged her behind him.


민혁
This slave too.

???: Just wait a moment.
