No Escape

You were my brother’s woman, but you’re boring.”

It wasn’t until after the first night that she realized.

“You’re more disappointing than I expected.”

The fact that the man she spent the night with wasn’t her fiancé.

“But you crying in pain was pretty cute.”

The person who spat cruel words to her was her fiancé’s twin brother.

According to the prophecy that the births of twins would destroy the empire. Her fiancé’s brother, who she thought was dead, came back alive. With incredible abilities, he was a catastrophe.

“If you listen to me carefully, you might save my brother.”

He revolted and killed his father, the previous emperor.

“And your useless family.”

Her family abandoned her. It was also her family that sold her to the new emperor.

“I guess my brother loved you a lot? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left you alone with nothing but your body.”

She couldn’t possibly love him. But there was no way she could escape him alive.

“What are you doing?”

She stood on a cliff with no end in sight, but she wasn’t afraid. Rather, she thought this was the right thing to do.

“Come here now, Elena.”

“The time I spent with Your Majesty was my misfortune.”

She saw his anxious expression for the first time.

“Did you not hear me? Come here!”

His trembling voice left her rather unmoved.

“We will never meet again, Your Majesty. In the next life, in the life after that, forever.”

“I am sorry. So please….”

Then he said with a tearful expression on his face for the first time.

“Please don’t do this. I love you.”

Listening to his comical words, she threw herself down the bottomless precipice.
