Vampire Royalty [Season 2]

김석진 (27)
"Jung Ho-seok, don't you know me?"
김석진 (27)
"We first met when Taehyung chose you as his bodyguard. We were the same age and you were very sociable, so we became really close after a while."
김석진 (27)
"What a happy time we had together, Kim Namjoon, you, and me. What a beautiful time we had taking care of Kim Taetae. How precious were those thousands of years we spent together."
김석진 (27)
"You think that's funny? We laughed, joked, cried together... was it so easy that you could just forget everything all at once, like you were brainwashed?"
김석진 (27)
"Answer me, Jung Ho-seok. Was it that easy?"
정호석 (27)
"..."
김석진 (27)
"You, are you really not going to answer until the end?"
김남준 (27)
"Kim Seok-jin! Even if Jung Hoseok is brainwashed right now, he'll be very confused if we suddenly do this. Ask slowly."
김석진 (27)
"Why do we need to slow down now!!"
Behind Seokjin, Namjoon fidgeted, Jungkook struggled to hold onto Bin, Eunbi, and Yewon appeared one after another. Taehyung wanted to run to Eunbi, who was staring at him, but Hoseok, who was right in front of him, hadn't yet fully sheathed his sword, so he held back.
And while Hoseok's blade was threatening to Taehyung, his overly emotional brother was also a major headache. I was worried that something serious might happen if he continued like that.
At that moment, Baekhyun, who had been sitting still behind Taehyung, stood up.
변백현
"Master, first, put down that sword."
김태형 (25)
"Baekhyun, it's dangerous, so please sit down for now."
김석진 (27)
"I'm sorry, but I think this is a problem between us and Jung Ho-seok."
변백현
"..."
변백현
"No. Unless you go back to the state before you were completely brainwashed, that state will always be my master. It's right for me to deal with you."
변백현
"Give me a chance. The young master will be here soon, and then I might never have another chance."
김석진 (27)
"Why would there be another chance? Whatever happens, we'll just have to find Jeong Ho-seok again."
변백현
"If the young master executes the master as soon as he finds us, then what Seokjin said will be impossible to come true."
김석진 (27)
"..."
변백현
"Give me a chance."
김남준 (27)
"..."
김남준 (27)
"How do you plan on bringing Jung Ho-seok back? I don't know about anything else, but I'd like to hear an explanation."
변백현
"..."
변백현
"It's simple. You have to fight and break that ego."
At that moment, a loud roar echoed from the palace, a short distance from Pega, where Taehyung and his group were. Soon after, the sound of objects being thrown was heard, followed by short screams.
한승우 (27)
"You ran so hard, but how can you say you couldn't even find the tails of Kim Taehyung and his group who ran away with the prophecy book? Honestly, it wasn't even a grand group that came to the Silla era, it was just two people. And!"
한승우 (27)
"Park Jimin, what did you do to lose sight of Kim Seokjin and his group that you said you caught!! Are you in your right mind? Don't you think you should work hard now that you've received all the money?"
박지민 (25)
"..."
한승우 (27)
"Capturing Kim Seok-jin and his group was, in a way, the simplest and last resort. Did you know that and commit this act? Huh?"
박지민 (25)
"... sorry."
한승우 (27)
"Kim Taehyung lost his hyungs, Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon, whom he cherished so much. He lost so many kids he cared so much for, and even Hwang Eunbi, who he was obsessed with? He lost all those great hostages in the blink of an eye?"
한승우 (27)
"Common sense! Does that make sense? Does that make sense?!"
박지민 (25)
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect Jeon Jungkook to still have that much energy left."
한승우 (27)
"Ha... I told you that Jeon Jungkook was a monster that you had to watch out for!!!"
박지민 (25)
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry."
한승우 (27)
"..."
With Jimin's mumbled apology, the palace fell silent as a mouse. However, when Seungwoo, who had been arguing with her, asking if she was crazy, suddenly shut his mouth, the palace instantly became tense.
한승우 (27)
"..."
한승우 (27)
"... or not."
한승우 (27)
"Let's kill them all."
박지민 (25)
"... yes?"
한승우 (27)
"Kill them all and start anew. If we cleanly dispose of them without a trace, whether it's hostages or torture, neither the home country nor Kim Tae-hyung's forces will be able to do anything."
박지민 (25)
"master."
한승우 (27)
"Shut up. I won't listen to anything you say after already blowing one operation. Take your elite soldiers and find Kim Taehyung's group quickly. They shouldn't be too far away."
한승우 (27)
"It's a full moon today, so Byun Baekhyun will have a hard time."
김태형 (25)
"What's the point of fighting? I can't, Baekhyun-ssi, I'm not feeling well right now. If fighting is the only way to bring my brother back, I'd rather fight."
변백현
"No, I'm fine. I'm feeling better, and out of all of us, I'm the best at dealing with Ho-seok."
김태형 (25)
"..."
변백현
"You can do it."
With those words, Baekhyun, as if he were refusing to discuss any further, gently pulled out the dagger tucked into his waist. The dagger, engulfed in blue flames by Baekhyun's power, asserted its presence in the darkness.
김남준 (27)
"Are you really going to fight?"
변백현
"There is no other way."
김석진 (27)
"Still, I don't think it's right to take a gamble like this in a situation where Baekhyun's life could be in danger if you make a single mistake."
변백현
"..."
변백현
"The young master will find us soon. Hurry up and hide somewhere nearby. I'll finish this much faster than you think. I promise."
"Mr. Baekhyun."
변백현
"Hurry up!!!"
김남준 (27)
"Let's go, kids. Everyone, get moving!"
Eunbi and Yewon, who were holding onto Seokjin who was shaking and unable to come to his senses, Namjoon, who quickly pulled out Taehyung who was holding back tears in front of Hoseok who was just standing there in a daze, Bin, Jungkook, and even Jeonghan quickly left the abandoned house.
The surroundings were instantly engulfed in silence. Hoseok's transparent gaze cut through the moonlight and reached Baekhyun.
정호석 (27)
"..."
정호석 (27)
"I have no idea what's going on right now."
정호석 (27)
"But I know you're pointing a knife at me. Put it down."
변백현
"..."
변백현
"I'm sorry, master."
'I wanted to do something for my sister and the people I care about.'
변백현
“Even though it’s a little painful and tiring… please bear with it for a little while, Master.”
A dagger, engulfed in blue flames, flew swiftly toward Hoseok, who dodged it with relative ease. Then, he again took care to readjust his sword.
정호석 (27)
"...you attacked me, so there will be no mercy for you now."
변백현
"It's what I was hoping for."
As he grabbed the sword and swung it, Hoseok's eyes briefly caught Baekhyun's.
For some reason, the child was filled with tears. Ho-seok swung his sword, blocking the attack with a dagger, but he seemed to remain lost in confusion.
The background photo, I think, best matches Baekhyun from the Silla era. He still exudes a youthful air, yet somehow dignified... like Eunbi's younger brother? (I don't know what I'm talking about either.)
The reason I'm a week late again... (I know this might sound like an excuse now) is because I have to live this whole week practicing... I really want to throw everything away (^^) and give you all a lot of love... ㅠㅠ
Strangely, I found this episode even less engaging than usual. It felt a bit off. The plot felt unnatural, and... Overall, I didn't like this episode, so I'm not sure if it'll be a good read for you all.
Please read this and I hope you enjoyed it even a little. That's all I need :) Thank you so much for reading today, Noeuls! (And good luck to those of you taking graduation photos!)
