Your Majesty, I love you.
22. May everyone survive
People swarmed in like madmen, wielding knives and threatening each other for food. It was complete chaos. The smell of blood filled the air, and there were no sane people.
김동현
Ha, hurry up and deal with those guys… No matter what, killing Rosemary's people—
“Give it to me, give it to me……! I’ll kill you all……”
Judging by the way he was mumbling in an unintelligible language, he must be from Delhi. I had no choice, but in this situation, I had to swing my sword immediately. Even if it meant increasing the number of people I'd already killed.
“Your Majesty, avoid this place. There are no normal people here.”
김동현
So you're telling me to just watch as all our people die? Look over there, everyone, from children to the elderly, is bleeding.
Everyone is falling apart, and I, the emperor, am supposed to just sit back and do nothing? That's ridiculous. I took up my sword and immediately stepped forward to subdue them. Even though my life was in danger.
“Your Majesty, we will handle this, so please…….”
The moment I heard those words, a knife went into my arm. Ah, ShiX, I cut down everyone around me without even feeling any pain. You guys started it first.
"Your Majesty, I hear damage has been done to our ally, Rubia. The people of Delina have entered there as well—"
김동현
Stop it, stop it. Tell Park Woojin to protect Lee Daehwi first… … .
In the blink of an eye, a knife slashed at my leg. Four men rushed at me, leaving me helpless. Even in that situation, one person came to mind: Lee Dae-hwi. His home near the capital city made it even more dangerous.
Lee Dae-hwi, you must live. Even if everyone else dies, you alone must live.
이대휘
Ugh, I'm tired... ... .
As I was stretching and heading outside, a new friend of mine came running up to me. He started talking in a very urgent voice. I had just woken up and was still out of my mind…
"Dae-hwi, did you hear that? I heard that our hometown Rosemary Delina was attacked this time...! They said they'll be coming here soon too. What should we do?"
이대휘
Uh… …? What does that mean?
“Emperor Delina said something about starting a war this time, I guess that’s what happened now.”
이대휘
Wait a minute, what about Rosemary now? Your Majesty?
“He must have been badly injured. There’s still no news of him dying.”
"You're hurt? Where? Why? Who hurt you?" Just the word "hurt" sent a flood of thoughts through my mind. I held back tears and asked for more details about the situation. Then my friend looked at me strangely.
"But Your Majesty, why? Why are you worrying about that guy? Why don't you just get rid of Nojedo and die..."
이대휘
There must be a reason why it can't be removed. I heard that it's not His Majesty's fault, but because many people are against it.
I was angry, but I still calmly accepted it. Everyone here thinks it's Your Majesty's fault. Your Majesty is not at fault! I shouted, needlessly angry.
이대휘
I can do it this year... I guarantee it.
"Why are you taking his side? It's because of him that we're in this mess. Ah, I wish the people of Delhi would just kill us."
이대휘
… …Who killed whom?
I almost rolled my eyes for a moment, wishing for the person I love to die. I love Your Majesty, but everyone hates You. Am I that abnormal and strange to love someone like that?
이대휘
I'm sorry, but if you think like that, you can't be friends with me. Go, because unlike your friends, I can't listen to things like that.
“Huh? No, I was just playing with you because you were outcast, but you’re crawling up to me. Who are you?”
이대휘
Me? I'm going to marry Your Majesty. What's the problem?
He reacted as if he absolutely couldn't believe it and called me crazy. "Yeah, I'm crazy, what can I do?" I got a little carried away and almost started swearing at him, but I held it in and managed to calm myself down. "Oh, this is why I can't get along with people."
"Guys, he's a bit of a weirdo. He likes that crazy emperor. Isn't that funny?"
"That guy? I didn't like him from the start. There were even strange rumors."
The kids were whispering, but I could hear them clearly. I bit my lip and passed them. Before heading into the garden, I turned around and said something.
이대휘
Don't gossip behind your back and regret it later. I know what you're doing.
On the way, tears streamed down my face, and I leaned against a tree for a moment, pondering. When will this pain pass? When will His Majesty return? Will his injuries be healed? All sorts of thoughts raced through my mind, and I was immersed in a deep sorrow.
이대휘
I hope Your Majesty isn't hurt... ... Oh, why is Delina doing that?
박우진
Oh my, Daehwi, you shouldn't be here right now... ...!!
이대휘
Huh? Bro, why are you sweating so much?
박우진
We're in big trouble now. People from Delhi are coming here.
I was already surprised when she grabbed my hand, sweating profusely, but I couldn't be more shocked when she came right now. This was a situation where I had to run away, right? Could I die here? I was panicking, my eyes darting around when she suddenly picked me up and ran.
이대휘
Okay, wait a minute, what's going on now? Where are we going?
박우진
I need to be here, but you need to be somewhere safe, so you should go somewhere as safe as possible.
이대휘
Tongue, what are you going to do, if you're going to go, come with me. Or I'll stay here too... ...!!
Seeing a carriage parked, my body jerked. "No, we can't all be separated like this. I can't lose the one person I have left like this." I cried, begging him not to do this, but he spoke even more firmly.
박우진
Lee Dae-hwi, you know I like you. I don't want the person I like to get hurt or die.
이대휘
You think I'm not like that? I could die if I stay here. Why do you keep telling me to live alone?
박우진
I'm not dying. I'll definitely go later, so go and wait for me... Your father will be there soon too.
I tried my best not to get on the carriage, but it was all useless. I tried to hug her one last time, but she seemed so desperate, all she could say was to hurry inside. Not wanting to part ways like this, I held her hand tightly. Don't go, don't go. I don't want to lose anyone anymore.
박우진
Just live happily with Donghyun hyung. I'll watch you be happy from afar.
이대휘
No… … That’s not it. Hyung, you’ll be here soon, right? You will, right?
He didn't answer my question, just smiled. Then, releasing my hand, he said, "Let's live to see each other again. Maybe we'll even see each other in the sky."
하성운
Is there no other way? His Majesty is unconscious, and Delina keeps coming. We're far behind in terms of soldiers.
전 웅
… …Delina has a strong military, so there is no way to use it.
하성운
So what are we going to do now? Are we going to let Rosemary go to hell? Go to Delhi and get on your knees?
People are dying, and the country's emperor is unconscious. It's simply chaos. The fact that the country attacking is Delhi makes it even more so. We need to resolve this situation somehow, but how can we possibly do it? Who can possibly defeat such a large nation?
하성운
Phew, if His Majesty were awake, he would have done something… … .
김동현
Ask for help, help from the surrounding countries… … Harald, Dayan, Estin.
하성운
N, really? There's no way that big country would help. They're world powers.
김동현
Ha, let's take this opportunity to destroy Delhi. Those countries have been badly hit by Delhi more than once, right? They're offering to divide up that vast land.
(roughly the location of the country and whether it is good to eat in Delhi)
김동현
Do it now, before any further damage is done. The emperors of those countries will probably understand and do it.
I barely managed to speak before collapsing. I thought that would be the best option, so I sent letters to all the surrounding countries. Sending envoys was time-consuming and fraught with problems. Even as I worked through these issues, the thought of my people dying made my head spin.
김동현
Do it as quickly as possible, or Delina might hit Rubia.
As Dae-hwi loomed before my eyes, tears welled up in my eyes. I wondered if Park Woo-jin was alive. Surely neither of them were dead or injured. Unable to lie down in fear, I kept doing other things. Even though I clearly needed to rest.
“Your Majesty, please rest for now… If you keep getting up, your wounds will get worse.”
김동현
Find out about the situation in Rubia. What is the country like now?
Still in a daze, I grabbed the person next to me and asked him. Then, trembling, I began to explain the situation in Rubia. I knew His Majesty would be furious if I told him this. But lying would be even more infuriating.
“The capital has already been invaded, and with so many soldiers, there aren’t many people left alive—”
김동현
…….
Without even listening, I tried to leave. But Woong abruptly stopped me. He asked if Lee Dae-hwi would be happy to see me injured like this, and if he could have really left Park Woo-jin to die. But all I could hear was the buzzing, the vibration, and nothing else.
전 웅
Hey, what about Park Woojin? He's alive, right? There's no way he's dead.
“There is no news of death yet…….”
김동현
Daehwi… … I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to leave you alone… … .
I grabbed Dong-hyun, who was sitting on the floor, sobbing and on the verge of collapse, and carried him back to the bed. "Oh, what's he doing instead of resting when he should be?" I sighed, then glanced at Dong-hyun's face. It was the first time I'd seen him this pale.
전 웅
Well, the country was ruined overnight and I lost my loved ones, so the mental anguish was no small matter.
Woong-i was worried about Park Woo-jin and Lee Dae-hwi. If something went wrong, they'd both die without even seeing each other. And thanks to Dae-hwi, I became a human being, so I couldn't just break up with him like this. How could I send him to heaven so soon when I haven't done anything in return?
전 웅
I hope you escaped safely... ... That's how it should be.
As the sound of gunfire and screams continued to be heard from outside, the people inside also bowed their heads as if they were dead and shed tears.
휘슬 / 로휘
It must be my imagination that makes it seem short, right?
휘슬 / 로휘
Oh, and the reason I came back for episode 22 of Your Majesty! The event suddenly got longer 😅 When I used to mirror it - because I made the number of characters smaller - it took a little? 12 days, but this time it's a little overdone... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
휘슬 / 로휘
I think there might be people who want to see the main story, so I uploaded it this time with His Majesty. And in the middle, there's a map...
I thought I was learning some Korean history while making this. The Rubia area is passable, but the further to the right you go, the more chaotic it gets. It's just a map that shows locations.
휘슬 / 로휘
Anyway, I'm preparing for the event again and I'm going to post on my blog after a long time... 👋🏻 See you in the next episode!!
