HER REMEMBERING THE PAST
FL : “여덟 살, 그 철없던 시절”

"Eight years old, those innocent days."
FL: “비록 아버지로 인해 주선되었던그 약혼은”

"Although the engagement arranged by my father was..."
FL: “아버지로 인해 물거품이 되었지만.”

“Even though it became a laughingstock because of my father."
FL’S DAD: “분명 내가황태자의 심기를 거스르지 말라고”

"Surely I told you not to defy the prince's feelings."
넌 황후가 되기 위해 태어났다, 엘레나!

감히이 아비의 뜻을 거역할 셈이냐?
"You were born to become the empress, Elena! How dare you defy your father's will?"
INFO: "Count Castaya, Elena's father."

(카스타야 후작엘레나의 아버지)
FL: 하지만 아버지. 카, 카스트로 태자 전하께서••

"But father, Prince Castro..."
FL: “함께있을 때마다”

"Every time we were together"
UGLY BOY PRINCE:

도망가지마, 엘레나.

제게 부적절한...

접촉을 하려 하시기에••
"Don't run away, Elena. Because you're trying to initiate an inappropriate contact with me..."
FL’s dumb dad:

"If that's your reason, then there's nothing I can do. Just make sure to preserve your purity. If Castro loses power..."
“그런 이유면

어쩔 수 없지.

순결만큼은 잘 지키도록 해라.

만약 카스트로가 권력을 잃으면”
FL’s dumb dad: “넌 3황자와 혼인해야 하니까”

"You have to marry the third prince, so..."

 

FL: !!!

——-
그래, 열 살도 채 되지 않았지.

하지만 요즘

황제의 움직임이 심상치 않아.

"Yes, I haven't even turned ten. But lately, the Emperor's actions have been concerning."
마치 왕위라도 물려줄 듯 3황자를 편애하지 않더냐?

"Doesn't it seem like he's favoring the third prince as if he's going to pass the throne to him?"

——-

RECAP STILL

FL’s dumb dad: 

아무리 어려도 남자는 남자야, 엘레나.

"No matter how young, a man is still a man, Elena."
“너라면 쉽게 해낼 수 있을 거다. 두 황자에게 그랬던 것처럼.”

"You could easily pull it off. Just like you did with the two princes before."
FL: “순진하던 시절, 나의 혼약자는 비센테 뿐일 거라 생각했다.”

"In my innocent days, I thought Vissentega was the only one who would be my fiancé."
“그러나 그가2황자로 밀려나던 해.”

"But as he was pushed aside to become the second prince."
“아버지는 새로운 태자인

카스트로의 손으로 날 밀어넣었다.

내가 지금껏 어떻게 카스트로의 모욕과 폭력을 견뎌왔는데.”

"My father pushed me into Castro's hands, the new prince. How have I endured Castro's insults and violence until now?"
“이젠 9살밖에 안 된3황자의 품에 들어가란 말인가? 난 언제까지,”

"Now, am I being told to go into the arms of the third prince at just nineteen? How much longer will I have to..."
“대체 어디까지

추락하게 되는 걸까•·•?”

"How far will I have to fall?"

—— BY READER

BACK TO THE PRESENT
FL: “그리고•••

이 지옥 같은 굴레에서”

"And... in this hellish restraint..."
내게 손 내밀어 줄 사람이 있을까?

"Will there be someone to reach out a hand to me?"
ML: “괜찮으십니까.”

“Are you okay”

(dawg where have u been all this time our girl been suffering ☹️😡)
"카스타야 영애.”

"Count Castaya, my dear."
FL: “..아직도 날 그렇게 부르네요.”

"...You still call me that way."
“차라리

이름으로 불러, 비센테.”

"Rather, call me by my name, Vissentega."
“날 조롱하기

위해 온 거니?

여태 죽지 않고 살아있어서?”

"Did you come here to mock me? Just because I'm still alive?"
(her thinking for real)

“하지만 아무리

2황자라고 해도,

신관 없이는 이탑에 올 수 없었을 텐데•••”

"But even if he's the second prince, he couldn't have ascended this tower without a priest..."
ML: “...그대가자해를 시도했다고 들었어” I WONDER WHY Dwg

"...I heard that you attempted self-harm."
자해••?

"Self-harm...?
ML: 애초에

이 탑에 갇히게

된 이유는

The reason you ended up trapped in this tower in the first place was..."
초조해진 아버지가 선을 넘었기 때문이었다.

'카스타야'가

황태자에게 반기를 들었다지.

"It was because your anxious father crossed the line. 'Castaya' sided with the prince."

가문을 말살해도

모자란

상황이지만.•·•

초대 황제가

이런 맹약을 했었다.

"Even if the family was exterminated, it would still be inadequate... The former emperor made such a foolish pact."
EMPEROR: 개국공신인 여섯 가문 만큼은'

"As much as the six noble families, who are the pillars of the country..."
'무슨 일이 있어도 그 핏줄을 보존해 주겠다'고.

그러니

네 목숨만은 살려주마, 엘레나 데 카스타야.

"Even if anything happens, I promise to preserve that bloodline." So, "Don't you dare take her life, Elena de Castaya."
하지만 앞으로는 평생 서쪽 탑에서 벗어날 수 없는 것은 물론,

후사도 낳을 수 없을 것이다.
"However, from now on, not only will you never be able to leave the western tower for the rest of your life, but you will also be unable to bear any offspring."
맹약으로 정해 놓았다고 하나...

스스로

아이를 거부했다 기록한다면,

신도 어쩌지

못하리라.

"Even though it was agreed upon by a pact... If it's recorded that she rejected having a child on her own, there's nothing even a g** can do."
FL: 그날 이후, 난 매일 같이 태를 망치는 약을 마시며카스트로의 폭력을 견뎌야 했다.

"Since that day, I've had to endure Castro's violence while drinking a potion that destroys fertility every day."
BAS**** PRINCE GUY:
"그렇게 떨지 마, 엘레나.

네 아비의 죄를 나만은 용서해 줄 테니, “

“Don't tremble like that, Elena. I'll be the only one to forgive your father's sins, so..."
“이대로 약만 잘 받아

마시면.•·

내가 널

구원해 줄게.”

"Just keep taking the medicine as you are now. I'll save you."

FL: ••그 모든게,바깥엔자해라고 알려져 있었구나.

"All of that, outside, is known as self-harm."
걱정 마,

내 손으론 상처 하나 낼 수 없어.

"Don't worry, I can't inflict a single wound with my hands."
(huh)

몰래다른 사람이침입해
(huh)

Someone else sneaks in
황궁의들이 번갈아

지키고 있거든.

The palace doctors take turns

I'm protecting it.
ML: 엘레나, 그대 지금•·

Elena, now...
FL: 이렇게

애원할게, 비센테.

like this

I'll beg you, Vicente.
제발, 나를..

Please, me...
이끔찍한 고통에서 벗어나게 해 줘...

Save me from this terrible pain...
이건 오직

너만이

할 수 있는 거야.

제발 나를

This is only

Only you

You can do it.

please me
ML: “내게 널

죽이라고.”

kill YOURSELF (ain’t no way 😖☹️)
너는 그게·•

“You’re that”
"얼마나 우스운 소리인지조차 모르겠지? 나는 오늘"은

"You don't even know how funny it is, right? I today.”
"얼마나 우스운 소리인지조차 모르겠지? 나는 오늘"은"

You don't even know how funny it is, right? I today."
"I've come to give you two options, Elena. Options..?" (네게 두 가지 선택지를 주러 왔어, 엘레나. 선택)
FL: “Options?”

지..?

ML: “도망가.”

Run away!
아래에 내 기사들이 기다리고 있어.

"Below, my soldiers are waiting for you."
안전한 곳까지

그대 하나 지키지

못할 리가 없지.

"There's no way I won't protect you to a safe place."
FL: 안돼, 나에게•

"No, to me..."
시녀들의 목숨이 달려있어!

내 발로 나간다면 그 애들이 죽을 거야.

"The lives of the maids are at stake! If I step out, those kids will die."
내가 여기서 자결한다 해도

마찬가지고.

"Even if I commit suicide here, it'll be the same."
두 가지라고 했지?

You said two things, right?
남은 하나는 말하지 않아도

알겠어.

만일 네가

정말 날

돕고 싶다면.

I don't have to say anything about the other one

okay.

If you

really me

If you want to help.
“날 죽여 줘, 비센테.”

Kill me, Vicente.

(NO BBG NO ILL SAVE U 🙁(
이제 누군가를 이용하고 싶지도, 더 이상이용당하고 싶지도않아..

Now I don't want to use anyone, nor do I want to be used anymore.
ML…: 독이야.

...It's poison.
마시면 통각부터 마비될 거다.그 뒤엔천천히 심장과숨이 멎지.

If you drink it, your sense of pain will be paralyzed. After that, your heart and breathing will slowly stop.
사소한통증조차없이.

Without even the slightest pain.
그렇다면..아마 세간엔, 내가 너를 죽였다고 알려질 거야.

Then...it will probably be known to the world that I killed you.
FL: 아.

Ah.
고마워.정말,정말 고마워•••

Thank you. Really, really thank you•••

FL:

그가 나를 돕는 이유 따윈 무엇이라도 상관 없었다.어린 시절의 정 때문이든카스트로를 견제하기 위함이든

It didn't matter what reason he was helping me. Whether it was childhood affection or to keep Castro in check.
나를죽일 수 있고

can kill me
나를 죽여도

무사할 사람은 한 명뿐이니까.

그러니...

오직 비센테만이

Even if you kill me

Because there is only one person who will be safe.

so...Only Vicente
나의 유일한 구원이 될 것이다.

It will be my only salvation.
NARRATIR: 

커, 흑..

Big, black...
ML: 엘레나••!

Elena!
FL: 비센테,넌 지금 내가얼마나 행복한지모르겠지.

Vicente, you don’t know how happy I am right now.
오직 너만이 날 살렸으니

다시 태어나도 이빚을 다 갚진 못할 거야. 그러니 부디, 나의 몫까지행복하길..
Only you saved me

Even if I am reborn, I will not be able to repay this debt in full. So please, I hope that even my share of happiness is happy..

FL:

마지막까지비센테의 행복을 빌며 눈을 감았다.

그의 선의가 나를 고통으로부터 구해주었으니까.

I closed my eyes, wishing Vicente happiness until the end.

Because his good intentions saved me from pain.
그러니 이대로 조용히 끝났어야 할 운명이었다.

okay… It was definitely a fate that should have ended.•.

FL: 나는 또다시 눈을 떴다.

I opened my eyes again.
어느 외국인. 고아 소녀의 몸 속에서.

Some foreigner. Inside the body of an orphan girl.
