"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 51" "Are you really going to do this, Your Highness?" "Yes." "I'm going to grasp this final chance for you and I, ...and for Prince Yeon Ing and the Crown Prince." "Your Highness..." "And I'm going to use this final chance to make everyone understand." "That I'm not the shadow, but you are." "That it won't be the Crown Prince, but your son, Prince Yeon Ing." " Your Highness..." " Do you understand now?" "I'm going to make you kneel before me." "What do you think Consort Hui is up to?" "I'm not certain, but it's making me really nervous." "Your Highness, you mean..." "I briefly considered taking up your offer." "I'm weary of all this, and your offer sounded tempting." "But I realized quickly that it's impossible." "No matter what the consequences, I can never be someone else's shadow." "So thank you, but I will return these to you." "Use this and anything else you have to try and get me." "I too will use everything that I have." "Your Highness!" "Please don't do this, I beg you!" "For the sake of the Crown Prince..." "I am doing this for the sake of the Crown Prince." "He was born as a Royal Prince and was raised to be Crown Prince." "His entire life revolves around becoming King." "I will not allow you and Prince Yeon Ing to destroy his future." "That is why I'm going to take this to the end." "No matter what fate awaits me..." "You and I..." "No..." "Now the Crown Prince and Prince Yeon Ing are involved too." "No matter what awaits all of us at the end of this fight..." "Aren't you curious as well?" " Let's go." " Yes, Your Highness." "I'm getting goosebumps!" "Your Highness, what happened?" "I had hoped to renew everything." "Your Highness..." "But it has become an unavoidable fight to the end." "Your Highness..." "Where did you get this, Your Highness?" " Master?" " How did you come by this book?" "I don't know..." "What's wrong, Master?" "Is there something wrong with that book?" " Please be quiet, Your Highness." " Halt!" " What?" "A problem at the East Palace?" " Yes, Your Majesty." "What kind of problem?" "Find any trespassers in the East Palace!" "Yes, sir!" "What is this about?" "We are investigating reports of a trespasser in the East Palace, Your Highness." " A trespasser?" " Yes, Your Highness." "What is this about?" "While you were at the Royal Pharmacy yesterday," "One of the attendants here saw a suspicious man." "We subsequently found a few of your books missing from the Office of Royal Lectures." "What?" "Missing books?" "Record of deeds performed by Han Dynasty Emperors" "Sogamrok" "I can see this is "Sogamrok"." "Can you explain what this book is doing here?" "Can you hear me?" "This book is used for the Crown Prince's education." "This book can only be read by the Crown Prince." "So what is it doing here?" "Master!" "Woon Hak!" "I'm not sure." "Did it get stuck on my shoe?" "Look here, Woon Hak!" "Why are you getting so excited?" "This is not that big of a deal." "Prince Yeon Ing must have picked up the book by mistake when he was at the East Palace." " By mistake?" " Yes, we were just about to return it." "Mistake?" "You're going to lie about stealing this book?" "What?" "Stealing?" "Pardon me, Your Highness, but were you at the East Palace at 1 pm?" "What?" "Now look here!" "What is the meaning of this!" "A report was made saying that a trespasser was at the East Palace and stole this book and a few others." "So you're implying that Prince Yeon Ing is the culprit?" " You're taking this too far." " Too far?" "We found the book here." "Now look here!" "Pardon me, Your Highness," "But will you answer some of my questions?" "Where were you at 1 pm and what were you doing?" "At 1 pm?" "I..." "I..." "Your Highness, why haven't you responded to my question?" "Please keep this a secret, Prince Yeon Ing." "Can you do this for me?" " Your Highness!" " Master..." "Geum!" " Mother!" " Your Highness..." "What is this I hear?" "So what are you saying?" "You're saying Prince Yeon Ing stole this from the East Palace?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I found the missing "Sogamrok" in the Prince's possession." "Then there must have been an explanation." "Why all this commotion?" "That is not so, Your Majesty." "Other books have gone missing too." "But when asked about his whereabouts during the time of the theft," "His Highness could not give an answer." "Geum, can you tell me where you were at 1 pm?" "Geum..." "I can't tell you, Mother." "I made a promise." "A promise?" "Geum..." "I didn't steal the books, Mother." "I swear!" "I know..." "I know you would never do such a thing." "But why are they accusing me?" "I don't know how that book got into my bag." "I swear..." "This is a trap." "Somebody is using underhanded methods to frame Prince Yeon Ing." "Your Highness..." "How could they do this to a young boy?" "How...?" "You mean you're behind the commotion at the East Palace?" "Yes, Your Highness." "I'm been up to a few tricks." "How dare a mere Prince read educational books regarding the reign of kings and emperors." "The Palace will soon become noisy." "Will that be enough to back Prince Yeon Ing into a corner?" "It doesn't matter if it doesn't." "I did it to buy time." " Time?" " I'm referring to the nurse." "And the items used in the black magic ritual that you returned to Consort Choi." "I did it so that they can't use it." "Even if this doesn't result in anything," "They won't be able to use their evidence against us right now." "It'll seem like they were waiting to pounce on the Crown Prince for his position." "All you have to do is sit and watch." "This will buy us time." "Meanwhile, we will plan on our strategy against Consort Choi." "They've done this so that we can't use the nurse's testimony against them." "Yes, because it will make us look bad." " They've done this to buy time." " This is despicable and crude." "How could they do something like this to the young boy?" "Despicable and crude..." "That is the Palace, Inspector Cha." "And before he is a young boy, Prince Yeon Ing is a Royal Prince." "Don't you understand?" "This is only the beginning of what he will have to go through." " Prince Yeon Ing..." " Older Brother." " Have you been here crying?" " No." "Older Brother, I swear I didn't take your books..." "I know." "Of course I know that." "Older Brother..." "I heard you didn't tell them where you were at 1 pm." "I heard that people are even more suspicious of you because of that." "Was it because of me?" "Because of our promise?" "You said that no one must find out about your condition." "You said I had to keep it a secret." "Prince Yeon Ing..." "Don't worry, Older Brother." "I keep my promises." "You're doing this for me?" "Even with what you're going through?" "Older Brother..." "Let's go to the Grand Palace." "I wish to speak to Father." "Yes, Your Highness." "Your Excellency, why do you think they're all here?" "I'm not sure." "I wonder what the Third Councilor is up to." "This is the decree, Your Majesty." "The Ministers have all gathered in the Great Hall." "Your Majesty, this incident must not be taken lightly." "The Royal Books are only meant for the eyes of the Crown Prince." "How can Prince Yeon Ing read them?" "How can such an atrocity happen?" "He's right, Your Majesty." "This is a act of aggression towards the Crown Prince." "Please heed our plea!" "Please heed our plea, Your Majesty!" "Please heed our plea, Your Majesty!" "Yes, you're right." "This incident must not be taken lightly." "For the mere reason that a young Prince had the "Sogamrok" in his possession, ...all of you have made such a great commotion." "You are the ones who are threatening the stability of the Crown Prince and our government." "Your Majesty, don't you understand the gravity of the situation?" "This cannot be explained as a mere mistake." "A mistake?" "Yes, you're right." "It wasn't a mistake." "Because the Crown Prince gave the book to Prince Yeon Ing." "The Crown Prince told me that he gave these books to Prince Yeon Ing to read." "Will you continue to insist that..." "Prince Yeon Ing did this to threaten the Crown Prince?" "Fine, since all of you insist that..." "Prince Yeon Ing did this to destabilize the Crown Prince," "Then what do you think of this?" " Bring in the decree!" " Yes, Your Majesty." "This decree states that..." "Consort Choi is appointed as Royal Noble Consort of the 1st Jeong Order." "What?" "Are you going to insist now that..." "Consort Choi is after the Queen's position?" "Your..." "Your Majesty..." "Why do you look so surprised, Third Councilor?" "Consort Choi is a Royal Consort." "And once this decree is carried out, she will become a Royal Noble Consort." "There is no law that states she cannot become Queen." "My Lady!" " Your Highness!" " I expected this to happen." "Don't make such a fuss." " Your Highness." " I've come to see His Majesty." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, why did you say that at the Great Hall?" "You may have been angry about what happened to Prince Yeon Ing, ...but you went too far." "Went too far?" "How?" "When I spoke about making you Queen?" "You think I said it in anger?" "Your Majesty...!" "I meant what I said in the Great Hall, Dong Yi." "I'm giving it serious consideration." "See?" "What did I tell you?" "This is His Majesty's intention." "If Consort Choi becomes Queen, the Crown Prince will be threatened." "And if that happens," "Prince Yeon Ing will become Crown Prince." "No, that cannot happen!" "Consort Choi is lowborn by birth." "How can a lowborn become Queen of our nation?" "How can our King have lowborn blood?" " That cannot happen!" " Yes, that must never happen!" " Yes, that's right!" " That must never happen!" "Before the Queen breathed her last, that was her request to me." "She wanted me to appoint you as Queen." "She said that would be the only way both the Crown Prince and Prince Yeon Ing would be safe." " But Your Majesty..." " Yes, I know this is not what you want." "I know what a heavy burden this is for you." "Your Majesty..." "At first, I thought that for the sake of the Crown Prince," "I had to appoint Consort Hui as Queen." "I thought that would be the best thing for the monarchy and our government." "But after what happened today," "I understand what the Queen was so worried about." "This is just the beginning." "The ministers will constantly try to act against both princes." "And if Consort Hui becomes Queen," "Prince Yeon Ing's future cannot be guaranteed." "But you'd be different." "You would protect the Crown Prince." " Your Majesty..." " So will you give it some consideration?" "For my sake and for the Crown Prince?" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness..." "Your Highness..." "You must have heard about what happened at the Great Hall today." "But this is not something I can do." "How could I possibly become Queen...?" "The Prince remained silent until the end." "Even though he was being accused of theft," "He refused to speak because of his promise to someone." "That was probably the Crown Prince." "I heard that the Crown Prince stood up for Prince Yeon Ing in return." "Your Highness, isn't this what you wanted?" "In order to protect this, you must do as His Majesty wishes." "Your Highness," "Tomorrow you will be appointed as Royal Noble Consort Sook." "First, you must accept your appointment with confidence and happiness." "Right now, that is your duty." "Chief Suh..." "We will await your decision, Your Highness." "But no matter what your decision is," "We will protect you and the Prince with our lives." "First, you must accept your appointment with confidence and happiness." "Right now, that is your duty." "We will await your decision, Your Highness." "But no matter what your decision is," "We will protect you and the Prince with our lives." "Yes, now we will soon have the answer." "We will know what our destinies are." "We will know who is the light and who is the shadow." "We will soon have the answer, Consort Sook." "I'm here to see His Royal Highness." "Is he inside?" "He's not in at the moment." "Really?" "He told me to come here at 1 pm." "How could he be so audacious as to come here again?" "I heard he's after the Crown Prince's position." "Maybe he's here to spy on him." "What did you just say?" "What do you mean I'm after the Crown Prince's position?" "Forgive me, Your Highness, but that's what the others are saying..." "That's enough!" "Your Highness!" "What is this about?" "Don't pay attention to them." "My attendants were talking nonsense." "I don't understand this." "Have I done something wrong to you?" "No." "It's nothing like that." "I've made sure this will never happen again," "So don't let it upset you." "Do you hear me?" "Yes, Older Brother." "The Palace feels so stifling today." "Something seems to be going on outside." "A music troupe must be passing through." "A musical troupe?" "Yes, it's going to be Harvest Moon Day soon." "The marketplace will be full of interesting sights around this time of the year." "Really?" "If I were still living outside the Palace, I would be having lots of fun." " There's village races and..." " Races?" "Yes, I used to be great at running." " You're great at many things." " It's true, Older Brother." " Geum, will you do something for me?" " What is it, Your Highness?" " I wish to rest, so you may all leave." " What?" "But Your Highness..." "I am not in a good mood today." "Do not let anyone enter my chambers until the evening lessons." "Yes, Your Highness." "Geum!" "Older Brother, are you really going to leave the Palace?" " Yes, and I've prepared clothes too." " But Older Brother..." "We shouldn't do this." "What if we get caught?" "We won't get caught." "No one will know as long as we return by evening lessons." " But..." " What is it?" "Don't you want to go?" "What?" "Of course I want to go!" "But you're the Crown Prince." "You shouldn't leave the Palace like this." "That's why we're going in secret." "Why are you just standing there?" "Let's go!" "All right, Older Brother." "Once we pass that gate, we'll be at the servant's gate." "How do we go around those attendants?" "I'll do what I always do." "Those are rats!" "They're fake rats." "But the attendants hate rats." "Except Ae-Jong." "She attacks them with her bare hands." "Take this, Older Brother." "Now's the time!" "You did it!" " You're good at this." " Let's go!" " Welcome, Your Excellency." " Has everyone arrived?" "Yes, please go in." "We got you!" "We see you!" " My Lord!" " My Lord!" "Members of the South and Soron factions have gathered for a meeting." "Now that Her Highness has been promoted to Royal Noble Consort," "They must feel even more threatened." "Is she still pondering over her decision?" "She has yet to come to a conclusion." "Yes, this is not an easy decision to make." "His Majesty is still resolute." "Once Consort Sook has made her decision," "His Majesty will appoint her as Queen." "Your Excellency, you must support us." "Please have a safe trip back." "Let us know once Consort Hui has made her decision." "Yes, Your Excellency." "Have a safe trip." "The Third Councilor seems to be in a hurry." "How dare you show your face here!" "What an audacious fellow you are!" "How could I compare to you in terms of audacity?" "What?" "All of you must have met to discuss the Queen's position." "But I should think there would be more for you to discuss than that." "I'm referring to the nurse." "Haven't you realized why Consort Sook hasn't taken any action yet?" "What are you babbling about?" "Consort Sook is waiting for the right time." "She is biding her time until it would have the most effect." "That bastard!" "She's waiting for the right time?" "Of course she is!" "Her plan is to use the nurse to announce the Crown Prince's condition." "Why else would she not have taken any action despite all the evidence she has?" "As Lord Jang said, she's waiting for the right time." "Your Highness, the Soron Faction has unanimously agreed to support you." "All that is left is for Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing to disappear." "Yes, that's right, Your Highness." "So, why have you requested to see me?" "Yes, Your Highness." "I've come to offer you my assistance." "First, we must reveal Consort Hui's plot to fool His Majesty and the Royal Throne." "We must let Government know about this, ...and punish all those who supported her." "Third War Minister, you seem to have misunderstood something." "Misunderstood?" "I do not wish to cause a commotion with the Crown Prince's condition." " Your Highness..." " Hiding the truth can cause a problem." "But the Crown Prince is Prince Yeon Ing's only brother." "I have no desire to ruin the relationship of those two brothers who care nothing of politics." "Your Highness, no one is free of politics within the Palace." "Even your attendants live by politics and power." "I think your idea of politics differs from mine, Third War Minister." "Your Highness, you cannot be so naive." "If you do not strike first, you will be attacked first..." "That statement differs from my opinion as well." "Ho-Yang, I heard the new gisaeng house in the marketplace has beautiful girls." "Why don't you go out and have a good time?" "I don't want to!" "What?" "Why not?" "That's your favorite past time." "Don't say that." "Go and have a good time with the gisaengs." "Go!" "My heart breaks when I see you here like this." "I said I don't want to!" "What if I see those thugs if I go out?" "I don't want to die, Mother!" "Ho-Yang, please go to the gisaengs." "Please!" "Why aren't you arresting those thugs who tried to kill my son?" "I told you we're still investigating." "Do you know how many thugs we have in the marketplace?" "Investigating?" "For a whole month?" "Fine, I'm not going home today." "Go and get your Chief now!" "You mustn't act like this, My Lord!" "What?" "Didn't you see the state my son is in?" "You're not taking me seriously because I'm not showing my anger enough?" "I'll have to put you in prison for disorderly conduct!" "I'll come back in one hour." "If you don't have them, I'll come again in another hour." "Until the time you get those thugs, you will have to see my face every hour." "Do you understand me?" "You damned wretches!" "I should just..." "How could a man like that be a senior official?" "What?" "Oh Tae-Poong has been going to the Police Bureau?" "Yes, I think he's after the thugs." "You mean his coward son saw their faces?" "I don't know what happened," "But one of the police officers had a portrait of one of the thugs." "Find them and tell them to leave the capital immediately." "Things are complicated as it is." "I have no time to deal with those thugs." "Yes, Madam." "You mean Ae-Jong looks for you?" "Yes, and she always manages to find me." "But I've gotten better at hiding from her." "Yes, I can see that." "You're great at hiding." "Older Brother, that looks delicious." " How much is this?" " Four for 1 pun." "Here you go." "Here." " And this?" " Two for 1 pun." "Here." "Is this your first time in the marketplace?" "I've passed through on my way to the Royal Tombs, ...but this is my first time being here." "How did you live without this kind of excitement?" "I heard you can mingle with strangers in the marketplace." "Is that true?" "Yes, it's true!" "It's so much fun." "I see." "I've only played "Tuho" with my attendants." " I know I'm good at that." " Older Brother, I have a great idea!" "What?" "Do you want to do what you're best at?" "What is that?" "Older Brother, now it's our turn." "Now we begin our Tuho contest." "Go!" "This is the last arrow." "I put all five arrows in." " We won, Older Brother!" " We did!" "Now we can have all the food as our prize." "Yes!" " We won!" " We won!" "Your Highness!" "He's gone into hiding again." "He'll be the death of me." " Sir!" " What is it, My Lady?" " Bring out the Prince." " What?" "From where?" "I have no time for games." "His attendants are in a flurry looking for him." "But we really haven't seen him." "Has he disappeared again?" "He's not with you?" " No..." " No." "Then..." "Where could he be?" "Your Highness, it is Lady Eun." "Your Royal Highness!" "He specifically gave orders to not let anyone in." "Is that so?" "I don't know if it's because it's our prize, but this honey cake is delicious." "It's your prize for being the Chief of the Tuho." "What?" "The Chief of the Tuho?" "So I get to be Chief of something because of you." "Older Brother, look!" "They're praying for good luck on the bridge." "Yes, I've read about this before." "One walks down the bridge and prays for good luck." "Older Brother, can we do this before we go back?" "I want to do it too, but it's almost time for evening lessons." "But evening lessons start at 5 pm." "We can play for half an hour more." " You really want to do this?" " Yes, I have a wish I want to wish for." "Fine." "We'll have to leave in half an hour though." "Did you make your wish?" "Yes, I wished that you wouldn't be sick." "What was your wish?" "I wished that we would always be close like this." "But that's a given." "You wasted a good wish." "Is that so?" " Thief!" "Thief!" " Move!" " Prince Yeon Ing, are you all right?" " Yes, I'm fine." " So it was you!" " Let go of me!" " Older Brother!" " Are you still going to deny your guilt?" "I don't know what that is?" "Let's see if you still say that after a beating." " Let's go to the Police Bureau!" " Let go!" "Let go!" " Do you know who he is?" "He is..." " No!" "Older Brother!" "You must not let anyone at the Palace know." " Older Brother!" " Go and get help!" "Hurry!" " Older Brother!" " Let's go!" " Prince Yeon Ing!" " Let's go to the Bureau!" "Older Brother!" " Let go of me!" " Come with us, you rascal!" " I didn't steal anything!" " How dare you lie, you rascal!" " Let go!" " Talk at the Police Bureau!" "He said no one at the Palace must know about this." "What do I do now?" " Is the Crown Prince inside?" " Yes, Your Highness." "But he insists on being alone, and has asked to prohibit any visitors." " Tell him I am here." " Yes, Your Highness." "Your Highness, Consort Hui is here." "Your Royal Highness..." "Your mother is here." "Crown Prince!" "Crown Prince!" "What is this?" "I'm asking you a question!" "Where is the Crown Prince?" "What did you say?" "The Crown Prince has disappeared?" "In the afternoon, he sent his guards away." "But he wasn't in his room." "The Royal Guard and the Office of Investigations is investigating." "Where could the Crown Prince be?" " Could he have..." " Stop babbling!" "His disappearance hasn't been confirmed yet." "Go and find him!" "Yes, My Lady." " What?" "The Crown Prince?" " Yes, Your Highness." "The Royal Guard and the Office of Investigations are searching for him right now." "But how...?" " Your Highness...!" " What is it?" " His Highness isn't here either!" " What?" "Geum isn't in his residence?" "Could it be...?" " What?" "Prince Yeon Ing too?" " Yes, My Lady." " I think they're together." " I don't think they're in the Palace." " Go and inform Chief Suh about this." " Yes, My Lady." "Dispatch all the soldiers in the capital to find the Crown Prince!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" "How could this happen?" "How...?" "What is going on?" "What is going on?" "How could the Crown Prince have disappeared?" " How astounding!" " I agree, Your Excellencies." "Geum..." "Crown Prince..." "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Your Royal Highness..." " Let go!" " Come with me!" " I said let go of me!" " You're in big trouble!" " I said let go!" " Be quiet, you rascal!" "Get in there!" "You'll stay in there until you give us your name and your parents' names." "You hear me?" "Your Highness, where are you going?" "I have to find Geum and the Crown Prince." "What?" "I know all of his old haunts." "We have to find them before this gets serious." "Your Highness...!" "We have to time to waste." "Go and summon my brother." "Yes, Your Highness." " What?" "She's going out herself?" " Yes." "She knows where Prince Yeon Ing likes to go." "She may be able to find him." "Inspector Cha!" "Be careful." "If the Crown Prince has been harmed, Prince Yeon Ing may be in danger." "You must find them before Consort Hui does." "Yes, My Lord." "I'm aware of that." " Have you seen this person?" " No." "Boys!" "Hold on a moment." "You may go." " Let's go!" " Yes, sir." "The music troupe will have visited the marketplace." " Go and find them." " Yes, Your Highness." "They would have tried to return before people knew they were gone." "But seeing how they haven't returned, something must have happened." "They have been taken by thugs, so please look out for them." " Yes, Your Highness." "Move out!" " Let's go!" " Let's get going!" " Yes, My Lady." "We'll look around the marketplace." "Go and search the village." " Yes, My Lady." " Let's go." " Let's go." " Yes, My Lady." " Sir!" " Did you look that way?" "They're not there." "I'll go towards Jeojang." "You go to Jaedong." "Jaedong?" "Yes, sir." "Come with me!" "Geum!" "Lieutenant, dispatch all the men to find His Highness." "The Crown Prince must be safe." " Quickly!" " Yes, My Lord." " Find the Crown Prince!" " Let's go!" " Call in the reserve troops." " Yes, sir!" "Sir, what should we do about that pickpocket?" "We have no time to deal with that." "But they've asked us to punish him right away." "He's still keeping quiet about his identity?" "Yes, sir." " Bring him out!" " Yes, sir." "Excuse me." "There seems to be a commotion." "Has something happened?" "What business is that of yours?" "The Crown Prince has disappeared." "The capital is in complete chaos." "What should I do?" "If they find out I'm imprisoned here, that'll cause a big problem." " Bring out that boy!" " Yes, sir!" "Come out, you rascal!" "Let's go!" "Geum...!" "Excuse me, have you seen a teenager and a seven year old boy here?" "No, I haven't." "Let go of me!" "Let go!" " Be quiet!" " Let go of me!" " Is this the pickpocket?" " Yes, sir." "Geum!" "Your Highness, that is...!" "This belongs to Geum." "That means he was here." "Where could they be, Chun Soo?" "Geum...!" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Translator/Timer:" "MrsKorea" "Editing/QC: victory" "Coordinators: mily2, ay_link" "Watch dramas legally at dramafever. com | crunchyroll. com" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 52" " Bring the boy out!" " Yes, sir!" "Get out here!" "Let's go!" "Geum!" "Your Highness, that is..." "This belongs to Geum." "That means he was here." "Where could they be, Chun Soo?" "Geum!" "Not yet?" "What do you mean not yet?" "The Crown Prince has vanished!" "And no one knows how or when?" " How dare you say this in front of me?" " Your Majesty, I deserve death." "How could such a thing happen?" "What were you all doing?" "Your Majesty, please calm down." "I fear you will ruin your health." "Are you sure this is not a kidnapping?" "Are you sure he wasn't taken?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "There were no signs of such a thing." "Go and find the Crown Prince." "If you come back without him, you will not salvage your life." " Do you hear me?" " Yes, Your Majesty!" "My Crown Prince!" "My son!" "It's almost 7 pm." "I feel like all the blood in my body has dried up into dust." "Your Highness, they will find him soon." "Please calm your heart." "How can I do that when I don't know if the Crown Prince is dead or alive?" "Your Highness!" "Older Brother!" "Let's talk inside." "I'm sure of it." "First he deliberately sent away his attendants," "And there is no indication of any attack." "I'm certain he wasn't taken by anyone." "You mean he left the Palace of his own will?" "Yes, it looks that way." "Something must have happened while he was outside the Palace." "I'm sure we'll find His Highness soon." "You must not worry too much." "But I don't understand." "The Crown Prince is aware of the furor this will cause." "He has never strayed from the rules before." "How could he have done this?" "That is why I found something suspicious in my inquiries." "Something suspicious?" " How did it go?" " He is nowhere in the Palace, My Lady." "What?" "What about you?" "He's not at the attendants' chambers, My Lady." "What do we do?" "Let's go to his residence!" " Prince Yeon Ing?" " Yes, his attendants are frantic as well." "I'm certain he isn't in the Palace either." " You mean they could be together?" " Yes, that is possible." "Oh my God!" "My Lady, they are nowhere to be found." "Perhaps they've returned to the Palace already." "That's not possible." "We have to search for them until we hear word of their return." "Then Shibi and I will go search on that side." "Yes, I'll search here." " Your Highness!" " How did the search go?" "We haven't found the Crown Prince or Prince Yeon Ing anywhere." "Lieutenant Nam and Captain Hwang met the thugs, ...but they were unable to find anything." " Please forgive us, Your Highness." " No." "This belongs to Prince Yeon Ing." "That means that just a short while ago, Prince Yeon Ing was at the bridge." "So start from there." "Somebody should have seen them." "Yes, Your Highness." "We'll find them." "Let's go." "It was Prince Yeon Ing?" "Older Brother, please wait a little while longer." "What is your name and where do you live?" "The Crown Prince has disappeared." "The Police Bureau and the capital is in chaos." "We have no time to waste on you." "Speak!" "If your parents come to pay the fine, I'll let you go with two strikes of the cane." "You rascal, you dare to keep silent?" "I reckon you'll open your mouth after a few strikes." "Halt!" "How dare you try to hit me!" "What?" "What did you say?" "Fine, I'll tell you who I am." "Out of our way!" "Move!" "Move aside!" "Goodness, how could the Crown Prince vanish like that?" "I know." "I hope he's safe." "I hope this doesn't end in a national tragedy." "Perhaps he went out with Prince Yeon Ing?" " What?" " Lady Ae-Jong was looking for him earlier." "You fool, that happens everyday." "How is it possible that two princes would climb over the Palace walls together?" "You're right." "That would really cause a scandal." "Director Hwang!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" "Help me!" "What's going on?" "What are you doing here?" "Help me!" "You need to help me!" "What?" " A fight, Your Highness?" " Yes, this pouch troubles me." "They say the bridge wasn't overly crowded tonight." "Perhaps there was a fight." "Then perhaps we should go to the patrol stations." "Yes, if there was a fight, the patrol stations would be aware of it." "I'm an Inspector of the Tribunal." "Show me tonight's patrol records." "Yes, sir!" "What should we do, Young Dal?" "I'll go to the Police Bureau and bring back the Crown Prince." " But what do I tell them?" " Tell them you're his uncle." "Yes, that's a good idea." "I'll tell them I'm his uncle and then take him to the Palace." "You take His Highness to the Palace." "No!" "I'm going with you to the Police Bureau." "That's not a good idea, Your Highness." "If they know the two of you left together it'll cause chaos." " So you should come with me." " But..." "Please do as we say, Your Highness." "I'll be sure to take His Royal Highness back safely." " Young Dal..." " Have faith in me, Your Highness." "You promise?" "You'll bring back His Royal Highness?" "Yes, Your Highness." "I'll stake my life on it." "Let's go, Your Highness!" "Your Highness, you must hurry." "Please!" "Your Highness!" "What did you find, Chun Soo?" "They arrested a pickpocket around 5 pm tonight." "A pickpocket?" "Yes, and his description sounds similar to the Crown Prince." "Where did they take him?" "I'm his uncle." "I'm the Crown Prince's uncle." "I'm His Royal Highness' uncle." "His uncle!" " This is the pickpocket's relative?" " Yes, that is what he says." "Yes, I'm His High..." "I mean, his uncle." "I heard he was at the Police Bureau and came to pay His High..." "I mean his fine." " But he already went home." " What?" "You mean back to the Palace?" "Palace?" "I mean..." "So he's been discharged?" "Discharged?" "Did I mention I had a few drinks tonight?" "I'm really sorry." " So your house is this way?" " That's what I said." "We have no choice but to go with you if we're to collect the fine." "Goodness me, how could a grown boy not know his parents' name or his address?" "He's an idiot that's why!" "If you're sending us on a wild goose chase, you'll pay!" "What do I do now?" "Where could he have gone?" "Sir!" "What brings you here?" "I'm so tired!" "Are you sure this is where you live?" "Hey, you!" " Over there!" " Where?" "Hurry along!" "Is this your home?" " Yes." " Then go on in!" " Anyone home?" " Anyone here?" "Anyone home?" " Who is it?" " Are you this boy's father?" "What?" "Of course not!" " Hey!" " Stop right there!" " Stop!" " Hey you!" " Stop!" " Stop, you rascal!" "Stop right there!" "Stop!" "Stop right there!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "That way!" "Stop!" "Who are you?" "Your Highness, please don't be alarmed." "I'm a Tribunal Inspector." "Your Highness!" "We found the Crown Prince!" " Inspector Cha is with him." " Are you sure?" "Is he unharmed?" "Yes, Your Highness, he's fine." "What about Prince Yeon Ing?" "Please don't worry about him." "He has returned to the Palace with Director Hwang." " The Palace?" " Yes, they should have arrived by now." " Your Royal Highness!" " Consort Sook." "Are you all right?" "Have you been hurt?" "Fortunately, he is unhurt." " Please forgive me for causing worry." " No, not at all, Your Royal Highness." "I am grateful that you are safe." "Thank you, Your Highness!" "Consort Sook...!" "We must escort His Highness to the Palace." "No, I will return to the Palace myself." "I heard my disappearance has caused great chaos." "If you are with me when I return, others might misunderstand." "But Your Highness..." "Prince Yeon Ing may get into trouble because of me." "I forced him to go with me and I won't allow him to suffer for my sake." "Since he has already returned to the Palace, please make it so that he wasn't with me." "Please, Consort Sook." "Your Highness..." "What?" "The Crown Prince has returned?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "His personal guard is with him now." "How is his condition?" "Has he returned unhurt?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Fortunately, he is said to be completely unharmed." "Crown Prince!" "Mother!" " Are you all right, my son?" " Yes, Mother." "I'm fine." "What is the meaning of this?" "How could you do such a thing?" "Please forgive me." "I needed some fresh air and went out alone..." "I didn't mean to cause such a commotion." "Alone?" "Are you trying to protect Prince Yeon Ing?" "What do you mean, Mother?" "I know everything!" "I know you left the Palace with Prince Yeon Ing." "I know he lured you outside the Palace." "No, that's not true, Mother." "It wasn't Prince Yeon Ing." "I wanted to go." "Do you expect me to believe that?" "Would you have this if he hadn't tempted you?" "Mother!" "I will never forgive Prince Yeon Ing for this." "This is all his fault." "He lured you out of the Palace to become a vagabond like him." "Mother, that is not so." "It wasn't his fault." " Come to your senses!" " Mother, it wasn't him." "It was I..." " Crown Prince!" " Your Highness!" "Crown Prince!" "How is he?" "He will be all right." "He just needs some rest." "That is good news." "Leaving the Palace has deteriorated his health." "Please excuse me." "Yes, my son." "Don't worry." " How is he?" " His condition has become stable." "Your Highness, he shouldn't have left the Palace in his condition." "That will only make his condition worse." "My Lord!" "Your Highness..." "Summon the Crown Prince's personal guard." "Quickly!" "How dare he try to harm the Crown Prince." "I won't let Prince Yeon Ing get away with this!" "You must compose yourself, Your Highness." "Here you go." "Who is this child, sir?" "I have such a severe cold." "He's a slave boy at the Bureau of Music." " Go ahead." " Thank you, my man." "Oh, I'm so dizzy." "We're all right now, Your Highness!" "Thank you, Director Hwang." "Your Highness, you must never do this again." "It's a miracle you didn't get caught." "Promise?" "I'm really sorry." "When do you think the Crown Prince will..." " The Crown Prince...?" " Halt!" "What is it?" "Your Highness!" "What happened?" "Is the Crown Prince safe?" "Yes, I saw him heading for the East Palace with his personal guard." "I'm glad to hear that." "It's so fortunate that things have come to a close." "Prince Yeon Ing might have gotten into big trouble!" "Has Prince Yeon Ing returned yet?" " Not yet, Your Highness." " What?" " He's not back yet?" " Yes, Your Highness." "I thought he was back with Director Hwang?" "Yes, so I sent Ae-Jong to wait for them outside." " You did?" " Your Highness!" " I have bad news!" " What is it?" "The Crown Prince's personal guard took His Highness away." "What?" "The Crown Prince's personal guard?" "What do you mean?" "Ae-Jong?" "What do you mean, Consort Hui?" "It's Prince Yeon Ing's fault that the Crown Prince is ill?" "It was Prince Yeon Ing who left the Palace with the Crown Prince, Your Majesty." "What?" "The Crown Prince has never done anything beyond the boundaries of his position." "But it was because of Prince Yeon Ing that he climbed over the walls and became ill!" "That's taking things too far, Consort Hui." "The Crown Prince and Prince Yeon Ing are only boys." "This is a mistake that any boy can make." "You protect Prince Yeon Ing yet again, Your Majesty." "You always protect him." "Consort Hui...!" "The Crown Prince of our nation was humiliated by being mistaken as a pickpocket in the marketplace." "It resulted in his health being harmed." "Our Crown Prince!" "You cannot cover this up as a mistake." "At daybreak, the entire nation will know that..." "Prince Yeon Ing tried to harm the Crown Prince." "The Ministers will not allow him to go unpunished." "Consort Hui...!" "Your Highness!" "I heard Prince Yeon Ing is here." "Why have you brought him here?" "Forgive me, Your Highness." "I heard that Prince Yeon Ing left the Palace with the Crown Prince." "Since His Highness lost consciousness," "We needed to speak to Prince Yeon Ing to find out what happened." "Even so, how dare you investigate a Royal Prince?" "This regards the safety of the Crown Prince, Your Highness." "Irregardless of his royalty, he must be investigated." "Your Highness!" " I will speak to Prince Yeon Ing." " But Your Highness, that is..." "Did you hear me, Officer?" "I said I will speak to Prince Yeon Ing!" "Your Highness...!" " Mother!" " Geum!" "I heard the Crown Prince is unconscious." "Is he all right?" "Is he in critical condition?" "This is all my fault, Mother." "I begged him to walk on the bridge." "He said he had to return for his evening lessons." "But..." "But this happened because I insisted." "Geum..." "If I hadn't done that, he wouldn't have been arrested or gotten sick." "What should I do, Mother?" "Don't worry, Geum." "The Crown Prince will wake up soon." "He'll wake up for your sake." "Mother..." "Geum..." " So everything is true?" " Yes, Your Majesty." "The Crown Prince left the Palace with Prince Yeon Ing." "At the prince's insistence," "The two of them joined the festivities on the bridge." "It was also confirmed that it was there that they were accused of being pickpockets and taken into custody." "This was all confirmed by Prince Yeon Ing." "Both of them hid their true identities for fear that things would get out of hand." "But things have already gotten out of hand." "The ministers who support the Crown Prince will not regard this merely as a childish mistake." "They will use this chance to threaten Prince Yeon Ing." " Sir!" " Is Chief Suh in?" " He's waiting for you." " Please go in." "My Lord!" "I heard the ministers of the Soron Faction have gathered in the Great Hall because of last night." "Yes." "It looks like things are going to get serious." "The ministers are up in arms about the fact that..." "The Crown Prince was imprisoned at the Police Bureau." "But it was just a mistake!" "How could they demand punishment for the young Prince?" "Because it involves the Crown Prince." "They will accuse Prince Yeon Ing of trying to harm the Crown Prince." "But that is preposterous!" "How could they suggest such a thing?" "Lives are taken in the Palace for a mere slip of the tongue." "Moreover, the Crown Prince is unconscious." "His supporters won't let Prince Yeon Ing get away scot-free." "Your Majesty, this cannot be condoned!" "The Crown Prince was humiliated last night." "How could you suggest we cover this up?" "It was a small mistake." "How could you demand punishment for such a thing?" "A mistake?" "You cannot say such a thing, Your Majesty!" "Last night, the Crown Prince's safety was threatened." "Your Majesty, I regret to say that..." "All of this happened because of Prince Yeon Ing." "According to the guard, Prince Yeon Ing coerced the Crown Prince to stay late." "He caused the Crown Prince to be humiliated by being mistaken as a pickpocket and imprisoned at the Police Bureau." "If it weren't for Prince Yeon Ing," "Would such a thing have happened to the Crown Prince?" "Councilor, you take things too far!" "How can you blame everything on the young Prince?" "Your Majesty, this concerns the well-being of the future King of our nation." "How can age be a factor when this regards the well-being of the Crown Prince?" "Councilor!" "The Prince's act caused great harm to the Crown Prince." "Thus, if he is not punished for his actions," "We will not back down either, Your Majesty!" "What?" "The ministers?" "Yes, Your Highness." "They plan to kick Prince Yeon Ing out of the Palace." "But this was my mistake." "Why are they putting the blame on Prince Yeon Ing?" "That's because he dared to cause you harm." "Mother...!" "What are you talking about, Mother?" "Why do you say he caused me harm?" "Mother!" " Cause him harm?" " Yes, Your Highness." "That's the scenario they have come up with." "The Crown Prince experienced great humiliation, ...and Prince Yeon Ing was with him." "They have sufficient reason to threaten Prince Yeon Ing now." "Your Highness..." "Yes, I said he caused you harm." "Mother, it was I who coerced him to leave the Palace." "Prince Yeon Ing has done nothing wrong." "No." "He took you to the dangerous marketplace and caused you to experience great humiliation." "And who was it who insisted on playing on the bridge when you wanted to return to the Palace?" "It was Prince Yeon Ing!" "So how can you say he is blameless?" " Mother!" " Why do you think he did all of this?" "Because he covets your position as Crown Prince!" "What did I tell you?" "He is not your brother, but your enemy!" "Because of this incident," "Prince Yeon Ing will be exiled from the Palace." "He will never threaten your position again." " I will make sure of it." " Mother...!" "So until everything is resolved, you will remain quiet at the East Palace." "That is what I came here to say." "Is this because of my illness?" "Are you doing this because you fear that I won't be able to ascend to the throne?" "Are you doing this to Prince Yeon Ing because you're afraid he will take over my position?" "What do you mean by that?" "I know..." "I know what my illness is." "I know that I may not be able to sire any children." "Crown Prince...!" "How..." "How did you find out?" "I'm asking you how you found out?" "Mother..." "No, my son." "I don't know what you found, but you're wrong." "Do you hear me?" "You're just a little weak..." "Mother, this is about me." "Please don't lie to me anymore!" "I beg you, Mother." "Please don't harm Prince Yeon Ing because of this." "My son..." "I won't sacrifice Prince Yeon Ing to keep my position." "I refuse to be a bad brother to someone who has shared his heart with me." "Your Highness!" "How could he have found out?" "How?" "They keep sending in petitions asking for the exile of Prince Yeon Ing from the Palace." "Your Majesty..." " What is Prince Yeon Ing doing now?" " I think he is at his residence." "You must divulge the Crown Prince's condition now." "That is the only way out of this situation." "Third War Minster..." "If the Soron ministers find out that the Crown Prince is infertile, ...they will turn their backs on Consort Hui and the East Palace." "Leave me, Third War Minister." "I told you that I will do no such thing." "Your Highness, do you mean to let Prince Yeon Ing be punished?" "You must do whatever it takes to protect the Prince." "And you have the ability to do exactly that." "Your Highness!" "Father!" "Really, Father?" "The Crown Prince has regained consciousness?" "Yes, now you won't have to make a wreath like you did for the Queen." "The Crown Prince will recover very soon." "I'm so glad, Father." "I'm so glad he is recovering so quickly." " Does that make you that happy?" " Yes!" "I'm so happy I could fly." "Father, I'm so sorry." "I've caused you a great deal of worry, haven't I?" " Prince Yeon Ing..." " Everything is my fault." "It was my foolishness that caused the Crown Prince's suffering." "Was it?" "So everything was your fault that day?" "Yes, Father." "His Highness wanted to return by evening lessons." "But I insisted on walking the bridge to make a wish." "I'm to blame for everything." "How strange." "The Crown Prince told me yesterday that he coerced you to do everything, ...and that you were completely blameless." "What?" "The Crown Prince insists it was his fault, and here you are, insisting it was your fault." " I wonder who's lying?" " Father, that... that..." "Prince Yeon Ing, you don't have to answer." "Who cares?" "The important thing is that both of you care for each other." "Father..." "Mother!" "Your Majesty..." "This is all because they both have a King for their father." "That's the reason." "They are both my beloved sons." "But to my ministers, they are pawns in a game of power and influence." "Dong Yi..." "I heard the ministers are insisting on punishing the Prince." "Don't worry about the ministers." "I will protect Prince Yeon Ing, no matter what it takes." "Your Majesty..." "Don't worry about the ministers." "I will protect Prince Yeon Ing, no matter what it takes." "Your Highness, do you mean to let Prince Yeon Ing be punished?" "You must do whatever it takes to protect the Prince." "And you have the ability to do exactly that." "Goodness gracious!" "So Prince Yeon Ing is to be cast out of the Palace?" "Of course!" "The ministers won't let him get away with it." "Consort Hui is behind everything, isn't she?" "She really is a fearsome woman." "That's because she's trying to protect the Crown Prince." "I know how she feels because of what happened to Ho-Yang." "Who will just sit and watch when someone is threatening their child?" "What should we do with our poor Ho-Yang, My Lord?" "I don't trust the Police Bureau." "I've asked some thugs to handle things." "I'm going to find them if it's the last thing I do." " Goodness gracious!" "My Lord!" " Father!" "Father, they're here." "They're here to get me again!" "Help me!" "Please help me!" " What?" " My Lord, are you all right?" " Let go!" " My Lord!" "Ho-Yang!" "Both my husband and son have lost their minds!" " Let's see what these thugs look like!" " Greetings, My Lord." " You...!" " My Lord, do you know them?" "Why are you doing that, Father?" " Take this, my son." " Why are you giving this to me?" "We found them." "Let's go and bring bloodshed to them!" " What shed?" " Bloodshed!" "Bloodshed!" "Get up." "Raise your heads!" "My Lord, are these the men you're looking for?" "Ho-Yang!" "It's them, Father!" "They're the ones who tried to kill me." " Thank you!" " Ho-Yang!" "Beat them until the verge of death!" "What?" "On the verge of death?" "Why?" "Are you scared?" "A man should take an eye for an eye." "That's what a man does!" "That's not what I meant, Father." "I want to beat them until they die." " But murder is illegal." " You're dead meat!" "Ho-Yang, you must not kill them!" "Why are you stopping me?" "I'll tell you everything." "Please spare me!" "Please have mercy on us!" "We were just following orders." " Please spare our lives!" " Die!" "Ho-Yang, wait!" "Get back here!" " Do something!" " Young Master!" "Please calm down!" "Why did you stop me, Father?" "You said to bring bloodshed on them." " I haven't shed any blood yet." " Stop this, you crazy fool!" "What did you just say?" " You were just following orders?" " Yes, that's right." " So please have mercy!" " Who was it?" "Who gave you that order?" "You bastard...!" "It was Madam Yu!" "It was Madam Yu from Jedong." "Madam Yu?" "You mean Consort Hui...?" "Yes, she's Consort Hui's mother." "We were just obeying her orders." "Father, what are these men talking about?" "Who gave them orders to kill me?" "I don't believe it." "Madam, you seem so cheerful today." "Yes, we are finally free of that meddlesome Consort Sook and her son." "What?" "Are you sure, Madam?" "Yes, I was worried for nothing at that shaman's prophecy of my death." "Die?" "Me?" "I am going to live for another thousand years." "Your Excellency, how are things going?" "The Soron ministers are boycotting their duties until our petition is accepted." "Our stance is legitimate and iron-clad." "Even His Majesty will not be able to stand against us." "It's not just the South Faction." "The ministers of the Soron Faction make up the majority of government.." "...and they are firmly standing their ground." "What are we going to do now, Your Highness?" "Prince Yeon Ing..." "Mother..." "Because of this incident," "Prince Yeon Ing will be exiled from the Palace." "He will never threaten your position again." "I will make sure of it." " Make preparations to make a visit." " Yes, Your Highness." "Your Highness!" "The Soron members of government are standing firm in support of the Crown Prince." "As long as they continue their stance," "His Majesty will not be able to stand against them." "Why do you look so worried, Your Highness?" "The Crown Prince knows everything, Older Brother." "What?" "He knows what his illness is." "What do you mean by that?" "How could he... how...?" "Your Highness!" "What?" "The Crown Prince is here?" "Yes, Your Highness." " Your Royal Highness." " Your Highness..." "What brings you here, Your Royal Highness?" "Have you come to see Prince Yeon Ing?" "No." "I'm here to see you today." "What can I help you with, Your Royal Highness?" "You must meet with the Crown Prince and persuade him." "He will listen to you and do as you say." " I'm here to see His Royal Highness." " He's not in his chambers, My Lord." "What?" "Then where is he?" "Let's go." "Lady Bong!" "Are you there?" "Yes, Your Highness." "Make preparations." "I need to speak to the Crown Prince again." "What?" "Yes, Your Highness." "~Recitesclassics~" "Your Highness, are you burdened by the commotion in the Palace?" "Yes, Master." "Because of me, the Crown Prince had to suffer," "And the ministers are all demanding that I be punished." "Your Highness..." "Does this mean I'm to be exiled from the Palace?" "Will I be sent away to live outside the Palace again?" "Will my mother have to suffer because of me too?" "No, Prince Yeon Ing." " Your Royal Highness!" " Your Royal Highness..." "That will never happen." "You rascal, why do you look so glum?" "You must not be happy to see me at all." "No, that's not true." "I'm so happy to see you, Your Highness." "Then why do you look so lifeless?" "And you're not calling me Older Brother!" "That... that's because I thought you never wanted to see me again." " What?" " You had to suffer because of me." "Not at all, Prince Yeon Ing!" "Why are you saying such things?" "It was I who coerced you to go out that day." "But you told Father that it was you." "And now you're the one who's suffering because of me." "That's why I feel so bad." "You've taken the blame for me." "But here I am as your older brother, and all I could do was watch you suffer." "That's not so, Older Brother." "Everything was my fault." "If I hadn't insisted on playing on the bridge," "You wouldn't have been arrested." "It was all my fault." "No, don't say that." "Please don't worry about Prince Yeon Ing." "It's because of me that my mother and the ministers want to sent Prince Yeon Ing away." "It's because I'm the Crown Prince." "They believe Prince Yeon Ing is threatening my position." "Your Royal Highness..." "But I have no right to be in this position." "That is why I won't allow Prince Yeon Ing to be punished." "What do you mean by that, Your Highness?" "What do you mean you have no right?" "Could the Crown Prince know about his condition?" "Could he?" "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is urgently seeking an audience with you." " The Crown Prince?" " Yes, Your Majesty." "My son..." "Father..." "What brings you here?" "I've come to speak to His Royal Highness." "He has gone to the Grand Palace, Your Highness." "What?" "What are you doing here?" "Your Highness..." "Yes, my son." "What is it that you wanted to tell me?" "Father, I am not worthy to be Crown Prince." "What?" "I know that it is my duty to protect the Royal family and our government." "But I have an illness, Father." "I cannot remain in this position and continue to hide this truth." "An illness?" "What do you mean by that?" "Crown Prince!" "Did you hear me?" "What are you doing here at the East Palace?" "Does the Crown Prince know about his condition, Your Highness?" "Does he know what illness he has?" "How do you...?" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Translator/Timer:" "MrsKorea" "Editing/QC: victory" "Coordinators: mily2, ay_link" "Watch dramas legally at dramafever. com | crunchyroll. com" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 53" "What are you doing here?" "Did you hear me?" "What are you doing here at the East Palace?" "Does the Crown Prince know about his condition, Your Highness?" "Does he know what illness he has?" "How do you...?" "Answer me, Consort Sook." "How do you know this?" "He came to see me earlier today." "What...?" "He said that he had no right to be Crown Prince." "He said he would not allow Prince Yeon Ing to be hurt." "What does that mean, Your Highness?" "What do you mean by that?" "You have been suffering secretly from an illness?" "Please, my son!" "You must not do this!" "If he has gone to the Grand Palace," "Could he have decided to tell His Majesty about his condition himself?" "What's going to happen now, Your Highness?" "My son!" "Please tell me I'm wrong!" "Please tell me you didn't tell His Majesty." "We should have done this from the very beginning, Mother." "You should not have hidden this truth." " Not from me, and not from Father." " Crown Prince!" "So are you saying you told him?" "Did you tell His Majesty?" "No!" "You couldn't have!" "How... how could you have done this?" "Why do you think I did this?" "For whom?" "It was for you!" "To protect you!" "But you told His Majesty?" "You told the secret that I risked my life to guard?" "Don't say that you did it for me!" "If you really cared for me, then you shouldn't have done this." "I am the Crown Prince." "I have never thought that I would not become King." "Like Father, I wanted to be a King that was benevolent to his people, ...and prospered his nation." "I sincerely wanted to be a good King." "But you were going to make me a sinner against the nation and the people." "You were going to make me a foolish King.." "...who couldn't perform his duty for his people." "Crown Prince!" "Your Highness!" "It's over!" "Everything is over...!" "What are you saying?" "My son, what are you saying?" "Infertile?" "You?" "Why?" "How could this happen to you so suddenly?" "No, Father." "It didn't happen suddenly." "For the past few months," "I had been drinking tonics to treat this condition." "What?" "I may not be able to sire any children, Father." "That is my illness, Father." "But no one knew of my condition," "Because the herbs for the tonic were brought in from outside." "Father, the reason Mother brought in these herbs secretly was because she was afraid." "She was afraid only for me." "So please forgive her, Father." "I'm sure she wasn't going to hide it forever." "My son..." "Infertile?" "How could he be infertile?" "How?" "My Lord." "Inspector." "Is it true that His Majesty knows everything now?" "I think so." "Let's hurry." "Chief Suh is waiting for us." "The Crown Prince intended to do this even before he came to see me." "I was naive." "I should have stopped him." "Why are you blaming yourself?" "You must be objective." "This is the result of Consort Hui's deviousness." " Your Highness." " Your Highness." "Your Highness, you must not give up so easily." "You've endured so much to get here." "What do I have left, Older Brother?" "The Crown Prince..." "the Crown Prince has fallen." " How can I not give up?" " No, that is not so!" "His Majesty loves the Crown Prince." "He will not cast him aside." "No, you're wrong." "He is the King." "He will act as King before he acts as a father." "Your Highness, His Majesty is here." "Your Majesty...!" "What do we do?" "Your Majesty...!" "When did this all begin?" "When did the Crown Prince start having this condition?" "It was a year ago, after he suffered from a high fever." "Did you just say a year?" "You mean you kept this from me for a whole year?" "Do you know what you have done?" "We could have healed him." "I was going to heal him." " Consort Hui!" " Your Majesty!" "Please... please give me a little more time." "We are using medicinal herbs from Qing." "They said those herbs will cure him." "So please..." "Give me..." "give the Crown Prince another chance." "Enough!" "That's enough, Consort Hui." "Medicinal herbs from Qing?" "Your family bought them secretly?" "Is that why you refused the care of the Royal Physician and used Physician Nam?" "The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne." "How could you treat his condition by yourself and keep it from everyone?" "Don't you realize that this may have exacerbated his condition?" "Haven't you considered that..." "Your actions may have made his condition worse." "The Crown Prince's condition is curable." "Please give me some more time!" "What?" "You still want another chance after all that's happened?" "What will you do with that time?" "You've mocked me and this nation with your actions." "But you want another chance?" "If I gave you this chance," "Did you plan to use it to cast out Prince Yeon Ing again?" "Your Majesty...!" "Did you think that I didn't know?" "Did you think that I didn't know who was behind the Soron ministers?" "Was that the reason?" "Did you do that to the young Prince because of the Crown Prince's condition?" "Your Majesty...!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Please!" "Please I beg you, Your Majesty!" "I don't care about what you do to me." "I will accept whatever punishment you give me." "But not the Crown Prince!" "Please have mercy on him, Your Majesty!" "Please allow him to maintain his position, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "If that is what you truly wanted..." "You shouldn't have done this, Consort Hui." "Your Majesty!" "So no matter what happens going forward," "You should realize that it is a result of your actions." "Your Majesty!" " Your Highness!" " Your Majesty!" "Your Highness..." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Really?" "The ministers in protest are leaving?" "Yes, My Lord." "For some reason, they're backing off." " Come now!" "Wait a while longer!" " Don't leave!" "We should back off?" "Why?" "I'll explain more in detail later." "In the meantime, please do as I ask, Your Excellency." "But Lord Jang..." "We must not aggravate His Majesty right now!" "What?" "Did something happen?" "Of course not!" "But it's just not the right time." "So please be a bit more patient." "I'll see you later." "Lord Jang!" "Councilor, what do you think this is about?" " Councilor!" " Are you curious, Your Excellency?" "You...!" "I believe I can give you the answer, Your Excellency." " Hurry!" " Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Did something happen?" "Older Brother!" "Did you hear?" "The ministers who were in protest have all left." "No one is demanding for my punishment anymore." "Is that so?" "Yes, for some reason, they've all retreated." "Perhaps they've decided to forgive me, Older Brother." "I'm glad to hear that." "I'm so happy for you, Prince Yeon Ing." "Older Brother!" "Your Majesty, Consort Sook is here to see you." " Consort Sook." " Your Majesty." "I too knew of the Crown Prince's condition." "But I couldn't tell you even though I knew it was my duty." "Please forgive me, Your Majesty." "I'm sure you did so because of the Crown Prince and Prince Yeon Ing." "It's not your fault." "Everything is because I'm a bad King and a bad father." "Your Majesty...!" "I don't know what to do." "Must I ignore the situation, knowing the Crown Prince's problem?" "My heart wants to protect that boy." "But sooner or later, his condition will be found out." "And even if he ascends to the throne, he will never..." "Your Majesty..." "Haven't you considered that..." "Your actions may have made his condition worse." "Did you think that I didn't know?" "Did you think that I didn't know who was behind the Soron ministers?" "Father, maybe this means we'll be reinstated to office." "My Lord, you're here again?" "We're still in the middle of the investigation, so please stop..." "I didn't come to harass you today." "I came to help you." " What?" " We found the men you couldn't." "Are you sure?" "That's what we said." "I brought bloodshed to them." "They should be on the brink of death right now." "But you shouldn't do that!" "My son is not quite himself after the incident." "But that's not the point." "I came to make a very important testimony." "What?" "I know who gave the orders to do this to my son." "So who was it?" " Are you sure?" "It was Madam Yu?" " That's what I said!" "Father, is this the end for Jang Hee-Jae and Madam Yu?" "Of course!" "Remember how much I suffered at their hands?" "Father, I'm going to count down until the day Jang Hee-Jae is ruined." "I finally found a reason to live again." " Mother!" "Mother!" " My dear wife!" "Dear!" "Ho-Yang, has your mother gone somewhere?" "I'm not sure." "Yoon!" "Yoon, you wench!" "I need to see that face of yours." " Madam, why are you acting like this?" " Yoon!" "Get out here this instant!" "I'm going to tear you apart, Yoon!" " What is this commotion?" " Yoon!" " I'm going to get you today, Yoon!" " What?" "Yoon?" "That's right, Yoon!" "How dare you come here and cause this ruckus!" "You were the reason my son almost died." "Stop spouting nonsense and leave my house." "Get this wench out of here!" "My Lady, please stop this!" "I'm not going quietly today!" "I'm going to see this to the end!" "Yoon!" "Have you lost your mind?" "Stop her!" "My Lady, please stop this!" "Move aside!" "This wench tried to have my son killed!" " What is this nonsense?" " Oh, so you're denying it?" "Who was it that burnt down Consort Sook's house and then tried to blame my son for it?" "What?" "Your entire household is going to be ruined." "The Tribunal and Police Bureau are probably on their way here already to arrest you." "Madam!" "What are you saying?" "What are you saying?" "You caused my son to suffer," "So now it's your turn to suffer many times more." "I don't know what to do." "But sooner or later, his condition will be found out." "And even if he ascends to the throne, he will never..." "Mother!" "Geum." "Did you hear the news, Mother?" "The ministers have stopped demanding my punishment." "This is because of Older Brother..." "I mean, His Royal Highness." "Yes, Geum, I know." "I won't let His Highness suffer again." "It's true." "I'll swear it to you too." "All right." "Your Highness, something is going on in the Palace!" "What is it?" "Did you hear the rumors?" "They say he's sick." "What?" "The Crown Prince has an incurable disease?" "Yes, I don't know what the disease is, but..." "People are saying that there might be a funeral at the East Palace shortly." "You fool!" "It's only been a short time since the Queen's funeral." "That's what I mean!" "But I don't think the rumors are completely groundless." "The Crown Prince has looked pale lately." "Plus the fact that Consort Hui has been so adamantly pursuing Prince Yeon Ing." "I wonder what this disease is?" "You mean rumors are already circulating about the Crown Prince's health?" " Yes, that's right." " But how?" "The Grand Palace wouldn't have said anything, so who...?" "Could it be...?" " My Lord, Consort Sook is here." " What?" "Consort Sook?" " Your Highness..." " Was it you?" "Was it you who spread the rumors about the Crown Prince?" "This incident isn't just about the Crown Prince." "It's about the future of our nation." "This secret couldn't have been kept forever." "The future of our nation?" "Don't make excuses that you did it for the nation when you did it for your own gain." "I will not let you!" " Your Highness..." " You wanted me to use the nurse." "Remember that I can always do so, Lord Jang." "I can use that nurse to reveal your intent to use her to threaten the Crown Prince." "I can use her to reveal everything to His Majesty." "Do you hear me?" " Your Highness..." " We must stop the rumors." "Summon Lady Jung and Lady Nam." "We must stop the palace ladies first." "Yes, Your Highness." "Pardon me, Your Highness..." "But you've had to suffer much because of the Crown Prince." "There is no reason for you to do all this for him." "I am a Royal Noble Consort of this nation." "This isn't because I pity the Crown Prince, ...or because I want to protect Prince Yeon Ing." "If the heir to the throne falls, the nation and government will collapse." "It is my duty to protect that." "Rumors regarding the Crown Prince?" "I'm referring to the rumors that the Crown Prince is suffering from a condition that may prevent him from becoming King." "Is it true, Your Highness?" "Of course not!" "That is preposterous!" "How can you deny what is true?" "This isn't something you can hide, Your Highness." "How dare you suggest I'm lying!" "There is nothing wrong with the Crown Prince." "This concerns the future of our nation." "If the rumors are true, we cannot continue to support him." " Is Her Highness in?" " My Lord!" "Councilor, this is Consort Sook's ruse to destabilize the Crown Prince, don't you see?" "The Third War Minister Jang Mu-Yeol betrayed my trust and went over to Consort Sook's side." "How can you believe his words and turn your back on us?" " Councilor!" " Your Highness!" "Your..." "Your Excellency!" "Looks like you have another problem, Your Highness." "I'll take my leave so that you can make plans." "Councilor!" "Your Highness!" "The Soron Faction is turning their back on us." "If they leave us, there is nothing we can do to stop this." "Your Highness, that's not important right now." "It looks like Mother is in trouble." "Mother?" "What?" "Why?" " Your Highness..." " Older Brother!" "Madam..." "You must leave now before the guards arrive." "Where to?" "Where can I go?" "Madam..." "The Police Bureau is after Mother?" "Yes, they've figured out that she was behind the fire at Consort Sook's house." "By now, they should have made their report to the Tribunal." "Our men will be waiting for you on the other side." "You must hurry, Madam...!" "But if I leave like this, what will happen to Her Highness?" "What if she has to take the blame?" "If you're arrested by the Tribunal, then there really is no way out." "Escort Madam to the ship!" "Let's go, Madam!" "Hurry!" " Escort her!" " Halt!" "It's the guards!" "Block their way!" " Block them!" " We must set sail now!" "Hurry!" "If you value your life, let go of that rope." "How dare you!" "Do you know who I am?" "She is the criminal who tried to kill Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing." " Arrest her!" " Yes, sir!" " Madam!" " How dare you!" "Let go of me!" "You'll pay for this!" "You mean Madam Yoon was the culprit behind the fire?" "That's right, my Lady." "She was arrested while trying to escape." " My Lady!" " Let's go." "I need to see Consort Sook." "Yes, My Lady." "Let go of me!" "Do you know who I am?" "I'll make you pay for this!" " Your Highness!" " Mother!" "How dare you do this!" "She is my mother and the Crown Prince's grandmother." " She is a criminal, Your Highness." " What?" "Silence!" "Who are you calling a criminal!" "Untie her!" "Untie her this instant!" "Your Highness!" "Escort Her Highness!" " Let go!" "How dare you!" " Let's go!" " Your Highness!" " Mother!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness." "You mean it was Consort Hui's mother who gave the orders to kill the Prince and myself?" "Everything is coming to light, Your Highness." "There is nothing that will hide their crimes now." "The Police Bureau has already received confessions from the men hired by Madam Yoon." "The only thing left now is Madam Yoon's own confession." "Your Majesty..." "It was the Crown Prince's grandmother who tried to kill Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing?" "Does the Crown Prince know this?" " My son..." " Father!" "Everything was for me." "Mother and Grandmother both did these things because of me." "No, that's not true." "This is not your fault." "Father, how will I wash these sins away?" "How will I wash these sins away?" "My son...!" "This is all a ploy by Consort Sook." "She's planned everything to ruin Consort Hui." "Consort Hui is going to fall." "You need to lend her your support." "But I heard that the Soron Faction has already turned their backs on her." "What can the South Faction do when we have such few members left?" "So you're going to betray her when she's protected you all this time?" "Betray her?" "Consort Hui and Madam Yoon created this mess themselves!" "What?" "How dare you!" "Do you know who put you in this position." "How dare you!" "What will you do?" "Die at my sword now or stake your life at the Great Hall?" "Have you lost your mind?" "Yes, I have!" "So figure out a way to save Consort Hui before I kill all of you." " My Lord, please don't do this!" " Let go of me!" "That bastard will pay for what he said." " Don't do this, My Lord!" " Let go of me!" "Your Highness, everyone's watching us." "It will be dangerous if you go out now." "I am already at a dead end." "I have to regain the support of the Soron Faction." "Without them, I am finished." "Your Highness!" "What?" "Consort Hui is here?" "Yes, My Lord." "Councilor!" "What are you going to do?" "How dare they make you wait like this." "How can they be so disrespectful?" "Don't cause a commotion." "Right now, if they demand my heart, I have to give it to them." "Your Highness..." "Why have you come alone?" "Where is the Councilor?" "Please forgive me, but His Excellency has already fallen asleep." "What?" "Look here...!" "This is an urgent matter." "Speak to him again." "Please forgive me, Your Highness." "His Excellency told me to tell you that..." "It is already deep into the night and that everything is finished." "How dare they...?" "How dare they send a mere steward to send me away?" "How dare they?" "Your Highness...!" "His Majesty has given orders to interrogate the criminal Madam Yoon at the Tribunal." "The Office of Investigations will also commence an investigation into who else is involved." "My Lady, who else is involved...?" "We will begin by interrogating Consort Hui's attendants." "Take them to the Office of Investigations!" "Yes, My Lady!" " Lady Yu!" " My Lady!" "Let go of me!" "How dare you!" "Why are you doing this?" "Let's go!" "Take the criminal to the interrogation room!" "Yes, sir!" " Let's go!" " Yes, sir!" "Let go of me!" "I said let go!" "You wretches, do you know who I am?" "I will make you pay for this!" " Let go of me!" "Take her!" "You wretches!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness, you must remain strong." "You must survive no matter what it takes." " What use is it to survive?" " Your Highness!" "I've ruined the Crown Prince's future and given up my own mother." "What reason do I have to live?" "For vengeance!" "To pay them back for all of this!" "You must live so that you can have revenge." "Revenge?" "Yes, you're right." "I still have revenge to finish." " Your Highness!" " Yes, Older Brother..." "I will not allow everything to be taken from me." "If I must lose something, then so must Consort Sook." "If the Crown Prince is ruined, then so be it for her son." " Let's go." " Yes, My Lord." " Have they started the interrogation?" " Yes, Your Highness." "Chun Soo!" "Your Highness." "What is this?" "Why are there guards here?" "You mean the Prince and I may be in danger?" "Consort Hui has been backed into a corner." "We do not know what she will do in desperation." "Chun Soo...!" "Mother, I will not let you go with bitterness in your heart." "I will give you Consort Sook and her son's heads on a platter." "Room of Palace Lights Where all the lights within the Palace are controlled" "Is there enough?" "This is the strongest accelerant in the room." " Let's move quickly." " Yes, sir." " My Lord!" " How is it going?" "Everything is ready." "Let's go." "Looks like he's up to something, sir!" "Jang Hee-Jae and his men were lurking around the Room of Palace Lights?" "Yes, My Lord." "They seemed to be acting cautious." "It's strange that they are still in the Palace at this hour." "They're definitely up to something!" "What could Jang Hee-Jae be up to now?" "I'm certain it has something to do with harming Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing." "I must go to her." "Who are you?" "I..." "I'm on duty..." "Why are you doing this?" "Chun Soo!" " Chief Suh!" " Your Highness." " What is it?" " Your Highness..." "Lord Jang Hee-Jae is going to harm Prince Yeon Ing and myself?" "Yes, we're certain he's up to something." "But His Majesty is in the Palace too." "They wouldn't do something so reckless." "They're backed into a corner right now, and will be capable of anything." "Until we can confirm it's clear," "You should move to a palace residence with better security." "Please do this, Your Highness." " Ae-Jong." " Yes, Your Highness." " Bring Geum here." " Yes, Your Highness." "Mother, where are we going so suddenly?" "We're going to move to another building." "Why?" "Is there a problem in the Palace?" "Geum, listen to me carefully." "You must not leave my side today." "What?" "Yes, Mother." "No matter what happens, you must stay with me." "Yes, Mother." " Let's go." " Please come with us." "Fire!" "Fire...!" "Isn't that the East Palace?" "Older Brother!" "Fire!" "My Lady, it's the East Palace." "The East Palace is on fire!" "Move aside!" "Where's the Crown Prince?" "Where is His Highness?" " We do not know where he is." " You mean he may not have escaped?" " Find the Crown Prince!" " Yes, My Lady!" "Your Highness!" "What did you say?" "A fire at the East Palace?" " Yes, Your Majesty." " And the Crown Prince?" "How is he?" "His whereabouts have yet to be found." "The Royal Guard is searching for him." "What?" " Your Highness!" " What is happening?" "The fire is bigger than expected." "The Fire Guard are working hard, but the fire isn't dying down." "How is His Highness?" "Has he escaped to safety?" "Lord Shim!" "I don't think his whereabouts have been confirmed yet." "You mean there's a chance that he wasn't able to escape?" "The Royal Guard is searching for him," "But right now, no one seems to know where he is." "Mother..." "Prince Yeon Ing..." "How is the search going?" "Where is the Crown Prince?" "We're searching for him with the help of the Tribunal Guards." "Yes, sir!" "(Bell used by the Palace to gather citizens or soldiers)" "That's.. that's the Royal Bell!" "The fire is getting uncontrollable." "They're ringing the bell to get more help." "They need the help of the citizens outside the Palace." "What do we do?" "Sir!" "Hurry along!" "How is it going?" "Is everything ready?" "We're gathering all the manpower we can!" "The winds are strong tonight, and it's spreading the fire." " You must hurry!" " Yes, My Lord!" " Begin." " Yes, My Lord!" "Consort Sook's Palace is teeming with security." "It'll be too difficult to attack them there." "So how will we break through the security?" "We use fire, Older Brother." " Fire?" " That's right." "When there is a great fire in the Palace," "And the Fire Guard are unable to control the fire, the Royal Bell is rung, ...enlisting the help of the citizens who live outside the Palace." "Start this great fire, and open the Palace gates." "But Your Highness..." "When that happens," "The multitude of people will pour into the Palace to help." "Amidst the commotion," "Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing will be killed by robbers disguised as the citizens." "Do you understand?" "The Crown Prince's Palace is on fire!" "We must put it out." "Hurry!" "Follow the Fire Guard!" "Over there!" "Follow the Guard!" "Mother, what's happened to His Highness?" "He's safe, isn't he?" "Geum..." "Chun Soo, you must go to the East Palace." "The Crown Prince must not be harmed." "You must find him!" " But Your Highness..." " We're all right." "You need to take the Royal Guard and go!" "Uncle, you must rescue His Highness." "Please, Uncle!" "Chun Soo...!" "All right, Your Highness." "Please don't worry, Your Highness." "The Crown Prince is safe, I'm sure of it." "The two of you will stay here." "The rest of you will follow me to the East Palace!" " Let's go!" " Yes, sir!" " Geum..." " Mother...!" " Your Majesty!" " My son!" "My son!" "Your Majesty!" "You must not do this!" "Your Majesty!" "What's wrong, sir?" " Those are quiet shoes." " Sir?" "Aren't those the shoes worn by robbers to quieten their footsteps by putting fur on the soles?" "I hope Older Brother is safe." "Your Highness, everything is ready." "We have to move to the other residence now." "Ae-Jong, can you go to the East Palace and find out what's going on?" " But..." " Please." "Can't we go after we find out if the fire is out and if the Crown Prince has been found?" "Yes, Your Highness." "Older Brother..." " Stay here and guard the residence." " Yes, Your Highness." "Is that you, Ae-Jong?" "Who... who are you?" "Prince Yeon Ing!" "Ae-Jong!" "Why is there no answer?" "Perhaps they moved to the other building first." " Go and find out." " Yes, Your Highness." "Prince Yeon Ing!" "Prince Yeon Ing!" " Mother!" " Prince Yeon Ing!" "Prince Yeon Ing!" "Mother!" " Mother!" " Geum!" "No!"
