My Romeo {English version}

• Narrated by Donghun •

The show begins, the soldier approaches Kira and takes the knife from its sheath.  Slowly he performs the first cut of the woman's belly, the silence is interrupted only by the screaming countess.  Kira tries to break free but is stopped by the soldiers who hold her more firmly, again the soldier makes another three large deep cuts in a slow way, being them in both thighs.  A few more cuts are made on her belly, arms, back, breasts and legs, all deep enough for the blood to drain staining the thin white nightgown they put on her as soon as they sent her to the dungeons, it is the uniform of those who are sentenced to  stay in those cells.  Several cuts made on top of each other in a deep and slow way have left her weak in addition to the hours without eating and drinking that she is not used to.

The soldiers guide her weakly to the huge fire that will be lit.  They tie it to the stake with ropes identical to the ones I cut from Youra and then walk away, the other soldier responsible for making the cuts on Kira cleans slightly on his robes, the dagger smeared with blood and then keeps the weapon in its sheath and  to position inside the long barrel of your left boot.  Comical, he snaps his fingers and takes a bottle containing two liters of alcohol in his hands.  The soldier opens the bottle and walks over to the screaming woman begging for help, the man hums some cheerful music clearly mocking the misfortune of others and begins to pour, without mercy, the transparent liquid in Kira's deep cuts.

The woman screams and fumbles for forgiveness, as a result of her anxiety the alcohol penetrates deeper into her flesh making her scream and moan louder.  The soldier ends up with all the liquid throwing it over the woman's head making her eyes and the back wounds burn.  She screams and protests even more when she sees one of the soldiers holding her approach me with a torch in hand, he hands it to me and I recognize it.  Carefully, I guide Youra's hand to hold it next to me, the torch that would have burned her alive last night.  The sun has just set and the darkness takes over, with a nod I give the soldier the order and he does so by lighting the torch.

My fiancee and I walk with the torch lit to the pile of wood that will fuel the woman's death.  We put the torch down together making its flames meet the wood and alcohol, we lift the torch and watch the flames slowly reach the body of the woman who screams and cries uselessly and desperately.  Then we throw the torch into the fire causing an intensification of the flames that increase its intensity.  We both walked away from the huge fire slowly and without taking our eyes off the woman's screaming body.  You and I stand beside the members of the court and the royal family, the darkness licks our bodies and in a few seconds it is interrupted by an intense white glow and with an open smile on my face, I notice with everyone, that the light comes from  wedding ring on Youra's left hand.

The girl next to me smiles hard and cries with emotion as soon as she realizes it, different from the woman in flames who widens her eyes, the flames increasingly taking over her body.  To everyone's surprise, Youra surprises me by pulling me into a deep kiss full of silent sayings.  In the background, the countess shrieks an extensive "no" with many meanings before being completely consumed by the flames.  We stopped the kiss due to shortness of breath and received applause from the audience watching us, even Sei Kwan, Eunji's father, applauds us but I think it was polite.  I know him well enough to say that he is against my marriage just because Youra is, or rather, was a servant.  My uncle is a being with a difficult mind to change and convince but I will make sure he doesn't fill my head with bullshit that he believes in relation to my future wife.

Everyone leaves the place after the last flame goes out.  It is late and I order the soldiers to leave the tracks of what happened there for three more days so that the reminder is properly fixed.  The message I want to send with these decisions that I made because they were left in my hands by Eunji and my uncles, is clear.  This doesn't just fit me, this reminder fits everyone in the royal family and citizens of both allied kingdoms.  Even without having alliances that shine brightly even in the dark to confirm that we have made the right decisions, our choices must be accepted without criticism as it is our right.  Monarchs must learn to trust our choices and sayings, even if someone's passion is an enemy, a servant, a deaf and the like, there must be a credibility that this union has important and ecological foundations for the future.

Royal family cars stop around the square, Youra and I walk to my driver's vehicle.  As usual, I open the car door for the smallest girl who enters and sits gracefully on the seat, take my place beside her and close the door.  The vehicle heads towards the palace in a few minutes, as soon as we arrive at the palace, I get out of the car, followed by Youra.  Seo Kwan walks up to us with a somewhat forced smile on his face.  I return the smile but in a sincere way, just like the girl next to me, I intertwine my fingers with those of the smallest I notice my uncle's disgusted look on our hands.

— At a banquet waiting for you!  Eunji had them prepare as a way of congratulating the couple, also as a way of saying goodbye as they leave tomorrow after breakfast, for Butyzzel.  I wish you an excellent trip and an excellent night's sleep.  Enjoy and rest.

— Thanks!

— Thanks!

We walked together towards the palace entrance.  Through the corridors, I meet a euphoric Eunji who is shocked by all the events.  In a way I am impressed with the way in which the girl contained her feelings about the violence of long ago.  I must say that Yuchan trained her well before going, very well.  We continued talking about different subjects all the way to the lounge and dinner, I thank her openly with Youra, for her great help.  I ate the other times I went out with my fiancee, I accompany her to her chambers after the spectacular banquet that was served to us has ended.  We say goodbye with a kiss and I just go to my room where I lie exhausted in my bed and fall asleep in an agile and deep way.
