Turn the Hourglass (free serial)
03⏳



여주은
Hmm..


여주은
Whoosh! (jump)


여주은
What the... I was definitely waiting for the right time to hide in the room? Why am I here?


여주은
Hey! What's that?



여주은
It's an hourglass!!


여주은
I don't know what happened, but it's awesome~

Tick-tock (turning the clock)


여주은
How do you use it? First, set the clock to 2021.


여주은
And if you put the hourglass in the opposite direction, it would spin when the sand runs out, right?


여주은
Turn it!

Ssurukruk- (sound of sand falling)


여주은
Hurry up, hurry up and get off!


여주은
Hurry up...hurry up...


여주은
Hmm... Hurry up, hurry up...


여주은
Hurry up...


여주은
Ugh!! (Woke up)


여주은
Ah..it was a dreamㅠㅠ


권순영
I finally woke up


여주은
Eeeeeee!! What the heck, in someone else's room!!


권순영
This isn't someone else's room. This entire palace belongs to the Emperor.


여주은
So why are you here?


권순영
Do I need a reason to step into my palace?


여주은
Selfish guy (mumbles)


권순영
what?


여주은
No, I didn't hear that, that's okay haha


권순영
Actually, I came here because I heard a strange sound coming from this room.


여주은
A strange sound..?


여주은
Is there something like a ghost here too??!


권순영
Oh my gosh, I mean your voice


여주은
My...voice?


권순영
I don't know what kind of bad dream you had, but I got a report that you were talking in your sleep in the palace hallway.


여주은
Ah.. Anyway, give me that hourglass


여주은
I'll go back


권순영
Ha.. you're worried.. you're worried..


권순영
How can you keep the words "going back" from coming out of your mouth?


여주은
I'll probably never have anything like that happen in my life.


여주은
(Why? Because I'm definitely going to steal the sand clock tonight. Kekeke)


권순영
Do you want to go for a walk? It must be boring since it's an unfamiliar place.


여주은
You're the emperor, aren't you busy? Go quickly!!


여주은
I'll take care of the boring stuff


권순영
Okay..(hurt)

ㆍㆍㆍ


여주은
The palace is quite large.


여주은
If you're not careful, you might get lost.

Tadak- (sound of running)


여주은
Huh? What? I thought someone just passed by...


여주은
Is it just my imagination?

ㆍㆍㆍ

(Imperial Palace Basement)

조셉 (유설의집사)
Yes, concubine, that's definitely her.


유설
Really... that girl is alive?


유설
Jeong Ga-eul...that girl?


유설
That villain...is alive..??!

(4 years ago, on the day the emperor's concubine was appointed)


권순영
Ha..do I really have to take in a concubine?

신하
This country will find stability only if we bring in an empress as soon as possible.

신하
So, you should take in a concubine and find someone you like and make her your empress.

신하
We have gathered all the beauties of this country.


권순영
I'm not interested, but come out anyway.

Thump- thump-

신하
Come and pay your respects to His Majesty one by one.


유설
Hello, Your Majesty, my name is Yu Seol of the Yu family.


정가을
It is a pleasure to meet you in person, Your Majesty. I am Jeong Ga-eul of the Jeong family.

(Introducing other people too)

신하
I think everyone finished greeting each other.

신하
Your Majesty, please give me a concubine.


권순영
Ha.. I said I don't like concubines and such..


권순영
You guys decide

신하
Ha, but Your Majesty!


권순영
Okay, I got it, I got it


권순영
Whether it's Yuseol or Jeong Ga-eul, only the two of them are taken in as concubines.

신하
You're saying you're only picking two?

신하
So, the Empress is also deciding between the two?


권순영
Oh, I don't know, it's over so I'm going

Squeak- (sound of door opening)

신하
Concubines, from now on, you will live together in this room.

신하
You may become empress in the future, so please show your good side to His Majesty.

Knock- (sound of door closing)


유설
We're rivals, but let's get along


정가을
Rivals? Are you and I on the same level?


정가을
You don't even look like a rival to me.


유설
What...what?


정가을
Hey, don't look at the Empress's seat, it's mine.


정가을
I'm the one who came all this way just to become the empress.


정가을
I live only looking forward


정가을
So now I'm with you


정가을
I'm going to kill you (holding up a flower pot)


유설
M, crazy bitch!!

Clang-


유설
Whoa!!


유설
What the heck!! Are you crazy?? (Blood flowing from head)


정가을
What the heck, I missed my aim, I didn't kill him in one shot.


유설
No? Now I'm going to kill you.

Clang- (Pushes Jeong Ga-eul out the window)


정가을
!

Wheeeeee-

thud-


유설
Haa..haa..


유설
No... no!! I definitely killed him back then


유설
There's no way I'm alive!!


유설
Because of him... I'm in this state now..!!


유설
He pushed me into this basement because I killed him.


유설
I feel like I'm going crazy after being stuck here for 4 years.


유설
He's...alive and wandering around the palace?


유설
I'm so wronged, I'm here without ever seeing the sunlight??

조셉 (유설의집사)
Ha, but Mama... I definitely saw it

조셉 (유설의집사)
Jeong Ga-eul was walking around the palace.

Boom- (hit the floor)


유설
That girl... I'm going to get revenge.


유설
Joseph, tell His Majesty my grievance and get me out of here.


유설
And I will take revenge

ㆍㆍㆍ

Wheeing- (sound of wind blowing)


여주은
Ugh... It's so chilly it gives me goosebumps


여주은
I suddenly feel strong


여주은
Is it because the wind came in?





At this point, it's a national rule for a villain to appear... haha

You must see page 2 of the wizard's dictionary to understand why Jeong Ga-eul and Yeo Ju-eun have the same face.

Cheers and comments are polite⌛️
