I read the novel
Things got soooooo much worse hahaa
I have not read full novel because it is not fully translated so... just a half
Sorry for blabbering, my english sucks. Hope you can understand
So the king basically knows that mc is drawing picture of the gun but he pretends to be a clueless. And when Mc tried to give the drawing to the elder of their village they got caught. And some drama happens. While that is happening 2nd ml helps mc to escape and ml is totally loses his shit. He goes on in this big massacre whilst searching for the mc.(for example:ML just collects bunch of young guys who looks like Mc and hunts them like animal in the forest). Meanwhile 2nd ml and mc gets closer but not that close. And we saw 2nd ml's pov and how they first met and all that.
So their plan was going to another country but when they almost got to that country king catches up to them. As usual king uses gun and tries to kill the 2nd ml but mc saves him but got captured...
And from then on you probably can guess what happens
Oh yeah also the imae poison is real and there is only one cure
