133 – 27. Character Event – Kim Eun-ha
In a beautiful and peaceful country, there lived a great emperor and a wise empress.
They made the country prosperous, gave birth to brilliant sons, and lived happily.
Just as my first son was a blessing, my second daughter was born as a daughter.
The emperor and empress were happy. I pledged to live happily with my two children.
But there was just one problem.
The daughter was so sickly that she could have died as soon as she was born.
So the Empress made her decision.
No matter what the cost.
I decided to save my daughter.
……………
………
……
…
However, what if the Empress had made a mistake?
The price was crueler than she thought.
*
“……Mother…?”
“Yes.”
A past that is different from existing games, and character events that change accordingly.
Nevertheless, the way I was able to guess the dark side was simple.
It was an elimination method.
‘The number of people who can approach the princess immediately after birth is limited.’
At most, the father, the emperor, the obstetrician and nurse, and the mother, the empress.
Here, the candidates are narrowed down.
‘And…… A person who can induce the Empress to die.’
There is no way that a mere gynecologist and nurse could manipulate the Empress into being killed by Kim Eun-ha.
So, of course, the only ones left are the Emperor and Empress.
Of course, this is nonsense. It is just a guess that does not take into account third party intervention or various variables.
But for me.
There was ‘evidence’ that only I could see.
General skill .
My right pupil narrows and I look at Kim Eun-ha, who is trembling and embarrassed.
And after that…… A being that embodies .
[Normal skill:
Slaughtering, self-destructiveness, and obsession with killing.
This skill, which has been called by many names, is completely normal!
Be happy by killing at most one person a day!
* If you do not kill one person every 24 hours, you will suffer from
Mania.
* Physical abilities are strengthened to the extreme.
* This status is granted by ‘Lee Ha-neul.’]
.
A general skill that allows you to know information about visible objects.
This is a skill I gained as a reward for digging up flower beds and being taken to the security station when I first entered the academy.
It was almost an essential skill in the game, but I was able to realize it after using it a few times in this reality.
This is definitely a useful skill, but it is not absolutely necessary.
It is useful to be able to see information about artifacts or skills, but looking at the skill holder does not mean you can see the skill. It just showed the person’s height, weight, etc.
Watching Like this would have been impossible if it weren’t for That was embodied behind Kim Eun-ha.
It was clear because I checked it several times in an unknown number of loops.
So I know the culprit. I know that the Empress, Lee Ha-neul, granted .
And from the emperor’s attitude, it was clear that, contrary to the original, he was also an accomplice.
This was a fact that even a guy like me could easily figure out since he knew the culprit from the beginning and was trying to deduce it.
“What… Do you mean? Mother…?”
“Empress Lee Ha-neul granted To the princess.”
“……….”
Kim Eun-ha was silent.
I lowered my head and looked blankly at the floor.
Even though it would be much easier to doubt what I say and not believe it.
Because you trust me. Because you trust me.
So without denying reality.
I was in silent despair.
“……………….”
“…………What the hell.”
“……….”
“Why…why…?”
What finally came out was a crying voice that came out as if it were being squeezed.
She had never cried since the day she killed her mother.
She opened her mouth, shedding transparent tears.
“Why……Mom……Why…….”
“……………….”
“Why……?”
Suddenly. Pop.
Tears fall on the floor. Wash the floor stained with red blood.
In front of her who just cried, despaired, and screamed endlessly.
I got up from the chair.
‘The reason why the Empress granted To Kim Eun-ha.’
Of course I know.
In the original game, it was a secret that the empress alone hid.
If the dark side of the Empress remained the same, the reason would not have changed.
But.
“Prince.”
“……………….”
“Are you really just listening?”
“……I said I would leave it to you, Namgoong Min.”
“Are you really going to leave everything to me?”
“……………….”
“Didn’t you apologize to the princess? You wanted to unravel your tangled emotions.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“……I won’t listen any more.”
“You’re family, right?”
“……………….”
“You really don’t want to leave everything to an outsider.”
Tap. Step by step.
Leaving the crying Eunha Kim behind, he goes out of her room and closes the door.
Right next to the entrance to the room, a prince with a stern expression stands leaning against the wall.
“You’re just afraid. It’s time to tell her sister the truth.”
“…Eunha trusts you more than I do. She would like you to tell her.”
“Then everything will be resolved.”
“If that’s the case…”
“However, family relationships will inevitably break down.”
“……………….”
“I will ask you one last question, prince.”
Not in a position to be influenced by others.
Position to wield others.
I have gained a position where I can control the royal family.
I had no intention of holding it and swinging it.
“Abandon family conversation.”
“……………….”
“──Would you like to hand it over to an outsider?”
“……………….”
“…At least, I don’t think it’s someone.”
“………?”
“Eunha!!!!!”
“Catch him! His Majesty is escaping!”
“Now, wait a minute. To the dungeon…!?”
“Go after it first!”
Boom! Kwaaang!!
A loud noise is heard from the entrance of the dungeon.
Soon, a figure appeared from beyond the pitch-black darkness.
“…Your Majesty?”
“Prince! And fortune teller!!!”
“Hello, Your Majesty.”
“You fortune teller!! How dare you destroy the galaxy!!!”
“Why are you so angry?”
“Of course──”
“If you love your daughter that much, you should have expressed it directly to her.”
“……………….”
“The princess is in the room. Please go in with the prince.”
“……!”
“…What?”
“It’s a fight for the throne, a faction, a political fight. No matter what modifier you use… Family is family.”
As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water.
Whether in a positive or negative sense, family is family.
So.
“So, don’t leave everything to a fortune teller who doesn’t know the fundamentals, or make excuses and go into the room and meet the princess.”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll reveal everything. What will you do?”
There was no answer.
The Emperor, who roughly pushed me away and entered the room, had already given me enough answers.
The emperor, who opened the door and looked at him with shaking eyes, soon sent away the soldiers chasing him with a wave of his hand.
“…Thank you.”
“Nothing to say.”
I followed the emperor and entered the room.
I closed the door to the room and sat down.
I was so tired, so tired.
In the meantime, a quiet sound could be heard coming from inside the room.
“Brother…? Dad…?”
“Eunha.”
“Eunha, are you okay?”
“……Yes, but Namgoong Min…”
“It was your mother who gave .”
“……………….”
“Dad……?”
“Prince, no… Seongil. Did you already know?”
“……When I was young, I overheard my mother and father talking in their room.”
“Is that all?”
“Even my mother’s self-talk.”
“…You knew everything.”
“What do you mean?”
“Eunha, you… Have been weak since birth.”
“Yes?”
Kim Eun-ha’s character event, .
As the Korean Empire’s imperial family is involved and the princess is the main character, it seems natural that there is a huge conspiracy lurking around.
The truth was a bit different.
“He was born with the job of , But his body was so weak that he couldn’t breathe properly right after he was born. They say he was born weak because the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck in the womb.”
“……………….”
“Your mother…Haneul couldn’t accept that fact. That’s why she tested every artifact that grants skills right when she gave birth to you.”
“……….”
“And then in the end… I reached out to .”
Kim Eun-ha was both lucky and bad.
Thanks to being born as a princess, I was able to survive with all kinds of artifacts right after birth.
In return, she had to live with And .
“I didn’t know that. At first, I thought you were born with a
Spirit. Sky… Because my wife said so.”
“……………….”
“Whether you were born with a Or a , You were my daughter. That’s why I built a dungeon under the princess’s palace… And raised you there.”
“……….”
“Hae-neul really cared about you. Because of that, Seong-il was upset because he couldn’t take care of his son. I had doubts every time I saw you pulling out the hearts of prisoners and playing with them… But I still think it was a happy day.”
“……………….”
A mother who gave To save her daughter.
A daughter who had to kill people in return to survive.
Nevertheless, the father loved his daughter.
Even the son who knew the whole truth but remained silent.
Even though it was an infinitely twisted and terrible situation.
They were family.
A family where everyone cares for each other.
However.
“So one year passed, two years passed, five years passed… And seven years passed.”
“……….”
“My wife, Haneul, became more and more distressed.”
Maternal love was certainly great, but it still had its limits.
Dealing with my daughter, who kills people every day and comes running to me covered in blood.
No matter how much of a mother she was, it was an act that would destroy her spirit.
“Then one day something happened. Eunha…You accidentally broke her wife’s finger.”
“……Ah.”
“From then on, I was afraid of holding you, Haneul. More and more, I began to be afraid of you…”
Even more so if she realized that her daughter could kill her at any time.
If you meet her daughter without properly resolving
.
If my heart is ripped out and I die like the prisoners.
She forced others to die in order to save her daughter.
If only she realized that she could die.
“My wife became more and more obsessive, went crazy, and eventually… In the end…”
“…Mom tried to tie you up.”
“Tie a knot…? Brother, that’s…”
“……I was trying to kill you.”
“……………….”
“That’s what I heard myself muttering to myself.”
No matter the cost, she decided to save her daughter and live with her.
Her mother, who eventually saved her daughter’s life, was eaten in return and went crazy.
To kill the daughter who saved her life.
To resolve the seeds you have sown.
Lee Ha-neul picked up a sword.
“The day my wife left to kill you, she left a letter in my office.”
“……………….”
“Eunha, the spirit you possessed wasn’t something you were born with. It was something he did to save you when you were weak.”
“……….”
“And, she says she has to solve what she did on her own.”
“……………….”
What happened next was as Kim Eun-ha herself knew well.
Her mother, who tried to kill her daughter, was actually killed by her daughter.
Seeing Eunha in despair, her father, who knew the whole story, decided to seal .
By killing her mother, only after her daughter became disgusted with her own
Was she able to solve her
.
Maintaining
The thing that sealed .
Either way, it was a painful decision for the father of a daughter, the husband of a beloved wife, and the emperor of a country.
“After everything…”
“……………….”
“I couldn’t look at you properly. I was reluctant to talk to you and avoided meeting you.”
“……….”
“Every time I see you, I think of my wife who was going crazy… I ran away from reality even though I knew it was selfish.”
“……………….”
“And in the end, I ended up telling all my secrets here.”
“……………….”
“All I have to say to you is…There is only one thing left to say.”
“…Is it an apple? Like your brother?”
“No way. I wasn’t a good father, and I can’t go back to being a happy family now.”
“……………….”
“Just…Don’t hate your mother.”
“……………….”
In Kim Eun-ha’s character event, there is no grand conspiracy surrounding the imperial family, no political fight, or no fight for the throne.
It’s just a story about a family.
The story of a mother who says she will pay any price to save her daughter.
It can be commonly seen in any fairy tale.
Unlike a fairy tale, this is a story that ends in tragedy.
“……Yes, that’s right.”
“Eunha.”
“Eunha…”
“My mother… Hated me. She was trying to kill me…”
“……………….”
“……….”
“Dad, and brother. Thank you for telling me everything now.”
“And I hate you for finally telling me the whole truth.”
“So, wait a minute.”
“Please follow me.”
The princess takes the lead, followed by the prince and the emperor.
Leave the room.
Pass through the dungeon.
Across Kim Eun-ha’s room.
Walk to the lobby of the princess’s palace.
I, who was quietly following behind the three families, stopped somewhere in the lobby.
In front of the portrait of the Empress.
“……Mom.”
Kim Eun-ha clenches her fists.
She is clenching her fists, as if she is going to swing them at any moment, shaking so much that she bleeds.
She was a mother who tried to save herself.
As a child, she had to live by killing people because of that.
Her mother was going crazy with her.
The fact that her mother tried to kill her.
Rather, she killed her mother.
After that, I lived a life of suffering.
What started out with a clear heart was so twisted and twisted that it was already a complete mess.
She remains at a crossroads.
Should I destroy my mother’s portrait?
Should we leave it as is?
And.
Eunha Kim.
“…Namgoong Min.”
“Yes, princess.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“……Yes, there is one.”
── Son, our beloved Min.
── I’m sorry mom, I can’t leave you and Jisoo behind. Therefore.
── Let us all die together.
── We are family, so let’s all go together……
“In any form.”
“……….”
“A mother always loves her children.”
“…I see.”
Even at the moment of saving my sick daughter.
Even while going crazy from the fear of death.
Even when he tried to kill his daughter himself.
And when I told my son that we should commit suicide together.
Although it is twisted and misaligned.
Parents always love their children.
In response to my answer, Eunha Kim closed her eyes for a moment……
…… Made a choice
*
“…Fortune teller.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“I still don’t understand you.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“That’s too much praise.”
“You know very well about the Of the galaxy, but you unleash it? You unleash a blood-crazed monster in the middle of the city.”
“She is not a blood-crazed monster, but Your Majesty’s daughter.”
“…I can’t turn back already. Still, if Seong-il is a bastard, I can get along well with Eun-ha.”
“……………….”
“It’s still a bad impression on you, but… You helped Eunha, so I should repay you.”
“Are you saying it’s a gift in return?”
“……Another Namgoong Min has disappeared.”
“……!!”
“You’ve probably already had a conversation with ‘that being’. Even if you want to talk about what you know, it’s not the time yet. If we say it now, it won’t be surprising if our heads explode.”
“……………….”
“Be careful, Namgoong Min.”
“……….”
“Because another you has gone crazy with fate.”
“…Thank you for your valuable reply.”
“If you understand, get out of the office now. Now…….”
“…It’s time to clean my wife’s portrait.”
