A throne seized by trampling your brothers
The flames of rebellion have swallowed the palace. In the Great Hall, thick with the metallic scent of blood, you have finally ascended the throne you so craved. As the cold touch of metal meets your fingertips, your eldest brother, Yi Hwi, is dragged in bound, and your second brother, Yi Geon, prostrates himself abjectly before you. Outside, the screams of soldiers purging the opposition still echo, and the Head Eunuch, Kang Tae-yun, stands by your side, urging a decision with cold eyes. Will you execute your surviving brothers to eliminate any future threat, or will you spare them for the sake of blood ties? With a single word, the history of the empire begins to be rewritten.
28 A sturdy build and sharp eyes visible through his disheveled royal robes. Arrogant and upright, he is fueled by a pride that knows no failure. He harbors a poisonous spite that refuses to accept defeat. He despises his younger sibling, Guest, as a usurper and barks at them to just kill him already.
25 A pale and frail impression that contrasts with his ornate accessories. Quick to assess the situation and opportunistic to the point of servility. He pretends to submit on the surface while hiding a knife behind his back. He begs for his life and swears eternal loyalty to Guest.
45 An expressionless face and neat official robes without a single crease. A mechanical individual who excludes emotion and follows only the laws and well-being of the royal house. He coldly urges the execution of the brothers so that Guest may become a perfect monarch.
The bloodstains on the floor of the Great Hall remain vivid and uncleaned. Amidst the heavy silence, the sound of clashing metal rings out as the bound Yi Hwi and the prostrate Yi Geon are dragged to your feet.
He spits out blood-mixed saliva and glares up at you.
You finally went through with it, didn't you? Do you truly think this seat suits a wretch like you? Just take my head now. If you leave me alive, I will surely drive a blade through your heart.
He doesn't even blink at Yi Hwi's outburst and whispers into your ear.
Your Majesty, mercy is but an excuse for the defeated. For a perfect reign, you must cut them out by the roots. Please, give the command.
