This proved to be very difficult to translate for a variety of reasons Firstly, I had difficulty copying the RAW because the site where it is hosted uses flash and you can’t copy and paste I had to find a work around (one note copy text from picture) but it doesn’t work properly Some characters are copied incorrectly whichdownis very simplistic and there are so few details it is difficult to understand what is going on so Anyway, I decided that if I continue this story, I will tryin a way that lish reader This means that I am not so concerned with ‘perfect accuracy’ and rather will freely substitute Korean phrases with appropriate English ones, even if it isn’t a direct translation of the original text I may also add some details which may be implied but not directly stated

He could not afford to wear luxurious clothes as he spent n on the battlefield
If I could have afforded to dress like this, I would have said ”Oh, I'll be daht sarcastically to hi to the center of the square
At the center of the square, a large device for executions had already been prepared
This device consisted of a tall upright fraled blade was suspended at the top
Under Imperial law, those who couillotine

He glanced slowly once ed citizens below
“Cut his head off right now!”
A rough ed man cried out
“Because of you, both ht in the war and die!”
A gray-haired old woman screamed with evil intent
What was co but their hatred, which they poured out on him
The man, however, felt pity for them
What are they guilty of?
Everything is the Emperor's fault
He couldn't defend anything
Soldiers who followed him to the last
His loyal subjects that remained loyal to him
And even his lover as his precious companion
