A Father's Sacrifice, His Beliefs, and a Plan Involving Sato

Oh, this rice cake... It's made with Gyeonggi-do rice, a place famous for its fertile soil.

Was it called Ggaeam-ri?

Hmm. It had vast farmland, but something quite noisy happened there a long time ago.

I see. Then these greens are from— There was a man in that village.

That man... never named his comrades, even at the end.

They brought his little daughter in and pointed a gun at her right before his eyes like this.

He couldn't do it.

Choosing his convictions over his own child...

Honestly, I found it quite impressive.

Oh, I forgot the wine. A Taisho 8 vintage, thirteen years old. Quite aged.

But good wine needs a long wait to reach its full flavor.

But what's even more interesting came next.

After that man's daughter died, only then did he give up his comrades' names.

Of course, it was too late. Why did he do that?

He kept quiet while his daughter was alive, but only after death.

Doesn't that make him a bit like a loach?

He believed he could hold out. That his convictions could save his daughter.

But in the end... he protected neither his daughter nor his convictions.

Futile, don't you think?

Then, the time Giseungjwa arrives at Sato's study is between 6:30 and 6:40.

Yes. I'll stall so Sato is in his study then.

His wife was there too, Madam, how do you think that woman lived afterward?

The Governor-General's on the phone. There are two possibilities.

One is to live quietly with her memory. The other is to dream of revenge.
