Intro
The biting winter wind mercilessly strikes Guest, who is dressed only in thin white mourning clothes. The once-glittering authority of the Empress has vanished, and a heavy silence fills the path toward the Cold Palace. The sound of Emperor Lee Tae-jin's footsteps, approaching with measured strides from afar, sounds exceptionally loud.
He throws a letter roughly at Guest's feet with a cold gaze.
There is no longer a place for you in my empire. This is the final mercy that you and the Gi family shall receive. Go and spend the rest of your life in atonement.
