"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "This drama is set during the Joseon Era under the rule of a fictitious king." "All characters and events are fictitious and have no historic basis." "Episode 1" "In the beginning, it is said there were two suns in the sky, and two moons, as well." "And so... it was too hot in the day, and too cold in the night." "At a time when all creation had fallen into chaos, when all the people in the land had fallen into distress," "an extraordinary hero appeared, and shot his arrows to take down one sun and one moon." "Only then did the world become a peaceful place." "That's right." "Heroes are needed during troubled times." "Don't you think, my nephew?" "He considers a younger brother born from a different belly still his flesh and blood." "Our Majesty has given Prince Ui Seong too much strength and legitimacy." "That's why... a group of sly, crafty people have formed that reverence and serve him as a King's Advisor." "But what can we do?" "We can't just wait idly for a hero to appear, can we?" "Forgive me, Your Highness." "I am unable to understand the profound meaning of your words, Your Highness Queen Mother." "Become a hero." "Become a loyal subject." "Consider the sincere heart that cannot bring itself to intercede, and become a worthy subject." "There is but one sun in the sky." "There is also only one King's throne." "Prince Ui Seong's mere existence alone threatens the King's throne." "He is a sun that absolutely must be eliminated." "[Prince Ui Seong:" "The younger half brother of King Seong Jo]" "Whose orders are you acting under?" "What's wrong?" "What's the matter?" "Where do you think you're going in the middle of the night?" "Didn't you feel it, too?" "It was definitely... a thirst for blood." "Even if you go, it's already too late to do anything." "Still, I have to go." "He..." "He's in danger!" "Ari." "Ari!" "Ari!" "Ari!" "Stop!" "It's been a long time, Prince Ui Seong." "The man who visited my house so often that he wore down the doorsill..." "You wanted me to back you up in your quest for power." "Have you changed your methods now, or have you found another backer?" "I did find one." "I'm thinking of taking on the King as my backer from here on in." "What was it you said?" "These days, any sort of dog or cow seems to be coveting power?" "Didn't you say that only men of honor were fit for politics, not the likes of dogs or cows?" "The King is not one to be swayed by fabricated stories of a treason plot!" "Whose words do you think His Highness will believe?" "It's a pity, but... you'll have no occasion to see His Highness again." "Before then, so I can send you on your journey to the heavens... don't be too scared." "Your close friend, the Inspector General will be there already, waiting for you." "Why him?" "Why in the world him?" "!" "All of his admonishing words are aimed at the maternal side of the family, so it's not unreasonable that the Queen Mother would get upset." "It's a good day." "With the moonlight as your companion, the road to your grave won't be all that bad." "Get her!" "This belongs to a shaman from Seongsucheong*." "(*Govt. office that oversees the royal family's shamanic rites)" "Search the area thoroughly." "If she's alive, kill her." "If she's dead, you must bring in her body." "Yes!" "[Seongsucheong]" "The State Shaman is here." "Where has Ari gone to?" "About that..." "Ari." "Ari, is it?" "Because of the strength of her divine powers, she and another shaman named Nok Young are considered to have potential to be the next State Shaman." "She couldn't have gone very far yet as she's injured." "We are combing through the nearby woods, so in a short while..." "Love between royalty and a shaman..." "The heavens are helping us." "What do you mean?" "Ari, that girl..." "She was originally a slave from Prince Ui Seong's family." "If they had a close relationship, then people had to have known about it." "Then, isn't it more dangerous?" "How so?" "Stake one's life purely for the sake of love, that is what's in the hearts of foolish young girls." "That girl who witnessed everything..." "It's not unthinkable that she'd risk her life and barge into the Kings living quarters." "If we don't kill that girl now..." "What if that girl... had hoped that the man she loved would become the owner of the throne?" "And what if she had used a talisman in order to fulfill that hope?" "It's possible, isn't it?" "However, we need solid evidence that she had used a talisman." "The State Shaman at Seongsucheong is one of my people." "How could there be a problem?" "Report both of them for treason." "By mandate of His Royal Highness, all traitors are to be..." "Is everything... in this letter true?" "[King Seong Jo]" "There seem to have been internal strife among the traitors." "As Prosecutor General Hong Man Ho later realized his wrongdoings, before his death." "It is our belief that he killed Lee Han (Prince Ui Seong's birth name) and then committed suicide." "I am the one at fault." "Because I was slow to report their treason, we lost the chance to punish the group of traitors." "Please be understanding." "Your Highness." "The State Shaman from Seongsucheong has arrived." "State Shaman, tell me what you know about that talisman." "This talisman." "It..." "It is for the sun's energy to thrive and flourish." "Are you positive?" "Would I dare lie in the inner palace of the King?" "This talisman is definitely meant to restore power and vitality to the sun." "Tells us whose talisman it is." "A girl named Ari from the Seongsucheong charmed this talisman." "I am sure that it is hers." "Then where is that shaman "Ari" right now?" "She has realized she's been discovered, and she is currently on the run." "Capture that shaman no matter what." "What's wrong?" "Why are you making such a commotion?" "There..." "There is a person over there." "No, a corpse." "No, it's a person!" "Lower the carriage." "Madam, the baby in your belly will suffer a scare." "Please go back in the carriage quickly." "How can you expect me to ignore that a person is dying?" "My lord..." "Look here." "Are you conscious?" "My lord, your outrage..." "I..." "I will..." "This won't do!" "Get her into the carriage." "Excuse me?" "!" "How can we just put a strange unknown woman in the carriage?" "You there, you all are going to have to help me!" "Stop there." "Wh.. what's wrong?" "We are searching for a treasonous criminal." "Open the carriage." "Treasonous criminal?" "You can't do that." "How can you look inside the carriage of a woman of nobility?" "Ah... inside..." "Really." "What is the problem?" "Why are we being detained here?" "We are looking for a treasonous criminal who is on the run." "Can you please step down temporarily from the carriage?" "I'm just on my way home after offering a devout prayer for my soon to be born child." "I have difficulties moving right now, so if you are indeed that suspicious, follow me to my home." "What are you going to do?" "Are you going back with me?" "Forgive my rudeness." "Let's go." "Stop there!" "You'll have to get out for a moment..." "Oh, my goodness!" "Ah, blood!" "I see blood!" "The doctor said for you to be careful in the last month!" "Send us on our way, quickly!" "There may really be big trouble at this rate!" "She is the daughter of the Chief Censor." "(Office of Censors = one of the 3 Offices of Joseon)" "Will you bear the responsibility if anything happens?" "Move aside!" "Step away!" "Hurry, let's go!" "Hurry, move quickly!" "Madam, Madam." "Please bear with it a little longer." "Aigoo, Madam!" "I don't know how to repay you for your kindness." "Because of a lowly wretch like me, you have ruined your beautiful clothes, and even pretended to be in pain." "I wasn't pretending." "I really thought that I was going to die." "It wasn't me, but this child who saved you." "She's lovely like the moon." "Then... is this child a girl?" "Yes, it's true." "You said that you are a shaman, and I guess you really are." "I was hoping to have a cute daughter." "Is the baby really a daughter?" "That's right." "And she will be born to a most noble destiny." "What's wrong?" "Ah, it's nothing." "I just felt a little dizzy." "Will you really be fine on your own?" "Please don't worry as I'll be fine." "The grace and kindness you've bestowed on me today, Madam," "I won't forget, even in death." "Although I may not be a shaman," "I can see people pretty well." "You are not a bad person." "Madam!" "Madam, your daughter..." "I'll protect her even if I am dead." "Stop it." "Who was the person that gave you orders?" "I don't know anything about that talisman." "If you speak the truth now," "I will allow you to at least gather his corpse." "How can I tell you who ordered a talisman I never wrote?" "We have solid proof that you are under orders of the traitors." "Wench, are you going to feign ignorance to the very end?" "!" "Did you say traitors from that lowly mouth of yours?" "Did you say proof?" "If you, who fabricated false evidence, aren't a traitor, who are you saying is a traitor?" "!" "Have you seen such a brazen wench?" "!" "Are we going to have to cut out your tongue and slit your throat before you tell the truth?" "!" "You filthy bastard!" "You must have thought I was the only one that saw." "You must think it will end if you just get rid of me." "You're wrong, you filthy bastard." "The heaven's moon was watching you." "That man's blood wasn't the only thing that was soaked into your blade that night." "That night's moonlight seeped in it, as well." "Wait and see, you filthy bastard!" "There will be a day when your evil deeds will be revealed under the moonlight!" "There will be a day when that moonlight will certainly cut your lifeline!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Why aren't you pulling?" "!" "Yes!" "Only for half an hour." "If we get caught, it's both our necks." "So come out as quickly as possible." "Ari." "Ari." "Ari." "How..." "How can a person be so foolish?" "What did I tell you?" "Didn't I tell you there was nothing you could do even if you went there." "I have never even once wished that he would take over the King's position." "And he never wished that, either." "I know." "How could I not know that he was falsely accused?" "That's good enough, then." "If you know, that's enough." "Enough?" "What's enough about it?" "I am unable to do anything even though I know." "I am unable to save my friend who has been falsely accused." "Please don't cry." "All of this is the will of the gods." "What's the use of gods at a time like this?" "!" "What's the use of divine power?" "!" "Why don't we relay the whole truth to the King?" "And with you, I'll..." "You must do something in my place." "There's a child you must protect." "Her family will be destroyed if she gets too close to the sun." "But the child will be born, destined to be at the sun's side, protecting the sun." "Please make sure that child is safe." "Please protect her." "What..." "What are you talking about?" "You there!" "Come out." "Who is the child that I need to protect?" "My life ends here." "You live" " and look after Seongsucheong." " Who exactly is this child that you..." "Look here." "Get out quickly." "Ari." "Ari." "Ari!" "Ari." "Two suns, and one moon." "May all three of you be unharmed." "It's true that she is lovely like the moon." "Yeom." "Does your sister look lovely to your eyes, as well?" "Yes, she is very lovely." "Child." "Your name is Yeon Woo." "Heo Yeon Woo." "Your father prepared your name before he left as an ambassador to the Ming Empire." "Do you like it?" "You must do something in my place." "There's a child you must protect." "You've come?" "The red parasol and folding chair that were here, where did they go?" "Madam, the oil and honey pastries for the table are missing." "Have you seen the oiled paper that was here?" "Crown Prince Highness." "It's about time for you to take part in your lesson." "You've already delayed quite a bit, so it would be good for you to get dressed quickly..." "[Hidden Moon Pavilion]" "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Why are you not coming out, yet?" "Really, doesn't that give you motion sickness?" "Hurry up." "At this rate, we'll miss the moment when when your brother receives his honors." "[Personnel* Minister, Yoon Dae Hyung] (*One of the 6 Ministries, responsible for appointing officials)" "[Chief Scholar*, Heo Young Jae] (*Heads the Office of Special Advisors, one of the 3 Offices of Joseon)" "Yeon Woo, look over there." "Your brother is over there." "Although he is not as good looking as my son," "Woon is indeed very handsome." "The Woon that you are talking of..." "Oh, right." "You have never seen him before, right?" "That boy over on that side, he is Woon." "He has been studying under your father together with Prince Yang Myung." "You do know that those two are your brother's closest friends, don't you?" "Both of the top literary and military scholars are your father's students." "Looks like we have to organize a big celebration this time." "I suppose the storeroom will be emptied again then." "Apparently, he finished lunch half an hour ago, so I am sure he is still in the palace." "If the King were to know about this, all of us are certain to be severely punished." "Hurry, move." "Hurry." "Yes." "His Highness The King has arrived." "Kneel all." "Bow your heads." "[Bangbangnae" " Ceremony where scholars with the top marks on the civil service exam bow to the king and receive a Royal gift and certificate]" "I can't be burning my skin, after all." "The top literary scholar, Heo Yeom, and top military scholar, Kim Jae Woon, please come forward." "Second place literary scholar, Kim Se Min, and second place military scholar, Im Byung Wook, please come forward." "Just look at your father." "It's so clearly obvious that he's happy." "Just look at him." "See how the corners of his mouth are pressed down?" "That is your father's expression when he is trying to keep himself from smiling." "From what I see, you are not a palace girl." "So why have you come into the palace?" "Then what about you, Young Lord, why were you trying to climb over the wall?" "How dare you?" "I am the only one that's allowed to ask questions." "Are you not going to answer my question?" "Do you have no idea that trespassing in the palace is considered high treason?" "I am just here to attend my brother's top literary scholar award ceremony." "How am I to believe that?" "It's up to you to believe it or not." "But I don't believe it would be right to see someone stealing from the palace and pretend I never saw a thing." "I am now going to have to call for the guards." "What do you mean call the guards?" "What do you mean steal from the palace?" "I.." "I was just looking for the door to go out." "Actually, my brother is the top literary scholar." "No..." "He's the top military scholar." "I need to see his..." "This..." "This is." "Well..." "These are the royal gifts my brother received from the King." "Over here!" "There is a thief in the palace." "Here at the Hidden Moon Pavilion." "Who is the fellow?" "!" "It's all because of you." "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had to run like this and run out of breath." "But why have you continued to talk down to me?" "That's because you are younger than me." "Isn't that how it's supposed to be?" "How can you be so sure that I am younger?" "How old are you anyway?" "You just have to subtract two years from your age." "Then, you're only eleven, isn't that right?" "So, why..." "So, you are thirteen." "See?" "I am older than you by two years." "Oh, where are you going?" "Just like I told you earlier, I am going to find the guards." "No, didn't I tell you already?" "I'm not a thief." "I am here to watch my brother who was awarded the top military scholar." "Why is it you just blame everyone else and tell lies when you open your mouth?" "The person who was awarded top military scholar is my brother's good friend." "And I hear he has no younger siblings." "Is that so?" "That fellow has no younger brother?" "Ah, all right." "I'll tell you everything." "What's the point of trying to hide anything at this point?" "The truth is that I... wanted to go and see my older brother." "Are you going to tell me again that your brother is the top military scholar?" "No." "No, he's not." "My older brother..." "Though he was born from a different womb, to me he is warmer than anyone I know." "Literature and martial arts..." "though he is outstanding at all of it, he is someone who cannot take the civil service exam." "Though he will be a talented man and a pillar of the nation, he is someone who cannot become a government official." "Though he loves and respects his father, he is someone who cannot receive his father's love." "Though he is well-loved by many people, he is someone who cannot appear in front of many people." "And, the reason why my brother has to live this way... it's all because of me." "Perhaps, he is afraid of my father's eyes upon him." "He hasn't come to visit me in a long time." "Therefore," "I wanted to go out and find my brother directly." "Does that explain what you wanted to know?" "Why do you blame yourself?" "What?" "Neither the fact that you were born a legitimate son, nor the fact that your brother was born an illegitimate son, were decisions you could make yourself." "So then, why are you blaming yourself?" "Didn't you just say earlier that I just blame everyone else when I open my mouth?" "Didn't you just reproach me for it?" "It is said that a man of honor doesn't resent the heavens, nor does he blame people." "You've read the Analects of Confucius?" "Furthermore, the farmers don't blame their fields, and musicians don't blame their instruments." "The problem is in one's own self, and not in whom one faces." "And if your brother is truly the warm person that you hold dear, it's likely he's not blaming you." "And so, don't blame yourself either and don't blame anyone else." "Actually, that vile practice of discriminating between legitimate and illegitimate children should be resolved by the king." "If this practice blocks the future paths of talented people, and sows discord between brothers, then shouldn't it be corrected?" "Frankly, regarding Joseon law, there are just too many points I just don't understand." "Aristocrats and slaves are all equally people, and yet, there's class-based discrimination." "Father always says, that women of the home who are reading too much is against the law, but..." "So what you're saying is that the way the King has been governing is wrong." "Is that what you mean?" "No... it's not like that at all." "Looks like this time," "I should be the one who goes to the guards." "Please don't." "Then, what should I do?" "Then, just pretend you didn't hear the things I said just now." "And now you know that I'm not a thief either, right?" "No." "Why not?" "Then, what's the problem now?" "Where did you get those things that you were carrying on your back earlier?" "Those are mine." "All of it is mine!" "Are you satisfied now?" "They were all rare and expensive things." "So how could you possibly own those types of things?" "I kept treating you as cute, and now you're crossing the line." "Are you belittling me right now?" "I am this nation, Joseon's..." "I..." "I am this nation, Joseon's... palace attendant (eunuch)." "She has already been missing for an hour." "She must still be in the palace as she wasn't seen going near the carriage." "Please help me find her." "You must find..." "Tell me." "Exactly, how much is a palace attendant's salary to be able to own such expensive things?" "Yeon Woo!" "Mother." "Oh, my child." "Oh, oh." "Stop there." "Just stop there and be still." "Where in the world have you been?" "You are not to speak even a word." "Not even a word." "If you open your mouth, you'll be severely punished." "You there." "I have already admitted my crimes." "I have already confessed to the guard on my own." "Are you satisfied now?" "Ah, the things that I stole are at the Hidden Moon Pavilion, so let's go there." "Just go." "Wait a moment, Miss." "Just a moment." "He asked me to deliver this to you." "Who?" "He said that you'd know if I tell you the young master from the Hidden Moon Pavilion." "Ah, you are talking about the young palace attendant." "But, what's this?" "Although there are lots of things that I want to say, but because I can't talk about it, it irritates me." "The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more unfair it feels." "If she is a smart child, then she should know what I mean by this." "Did he say anything else?" "From now on, tell her she better be careful when traveling the roads at night." "That's what he said." "He is even considering my safety when traveling at night." "He is indeed not a bad person, after all." "Okay." "What is it outside of this palace that is enticing you so much?" "What are you lacking inside the palace that you are coveting things outside?" "I just want to see Yang Myung Hyung, to be able to discuss scholarly pursuits." "The people with whom you are to discuss scholarly pursuits are you teachers over there." "I'm sorry, but" "I am not inspired by any Sigangwon* lessons." "(*Office in charge of educating the Crown Prince)" "What?" "With no heated debate, how am I to break through the walls that limit us?" "Without doubt and questioning, how am I to really know this world?" "What is impossible in my classroom here... is possible in my discussions with Hyungnim." "So!" "Is this your excuse for climbing the palace's walls?" "I felt all main roads were blocked ahead and behind, and for just a moment, I was tempted by a side street." "How have you all been educating the Crown Prince for him to become like this?" "!" "All officers ranked 3-jang and below are to be dismissed." "And until the new Royal Lecturer is appointed, a guest from the other offices will take over the Crown Prince's classroom!" "The Crown Prince is to study late into night everyday, to make up for the time that he had wasted." "And from now on, he will not be accompanying me to any rural palaces or royal tombs, so keep that in mind." "Queen Mother, the Personnel Minister is here." "Let him in." "You were looking for me?" "Welcome." "Isn't that a bonsai?" "Lately, taking care of these little ones is rather engaging." "What do you think?" "The way the branches wind, doesn't it look old and elegant?" "The magnificent energy it gives off makes me feel like I'm looking at a towering Pine of Mt." "Mokmyeok." "Do you know what the bonsai's charm is, Personnel Minister?" "Isn't it the opportunity to take a sapling and raise it into the form of your liking?" "That's correct." "But you see, about the bonsai... it's really harder than it looks." "Because if you miss the right timing, it's going to be really hard to shape it into the form you want." "I heard there was a huge uproar with the Sigangwon." "Yes, there is going to be a large reshuffling of the personnel." "I hope that the Crown Prince will be able to meet a decent teacher this time." "It is a great worry." "What's the responsibility of the Royal Lecturer, after all?" "It's the position that cultivates the next King, is it not?" "I have already taken measures." "For the sake of the Crown Prince who will be succeeding the throne, and for the sake of the next term of rule, there is still much that our family must do." "In particular, your responsibility as Personnel Minister is extremely important." "Your Highness, I beg of you to consider the Crown Prince's feelings." "With not a single friend to confide in, the Crown Prince must live a palace life full of forced responsibilities and restraints." "Please allow Prince Yang Myung to come to the palace freely." "Since you have sent the still unmarried Prince Yang Myung out to live in a separate home and have prohibited him from making informal visits to the palace, the Crown Prince feels even more lonely..." "He cannot keep his position by acting like a spoiled child!" "All our royal ancestors lived that way before they stepped up to the throne!" "Someone who must embrace all of the people in the land isn't able to suppress his own self-interest?" "!" "Is that fathomable?" "!" "But, Your Highness..." "I am going to rest." "You should retire, as well." "Is someone out there?" "Escort the queen." "He has given his royal orders to bar anyone from entering today." "I am really sorry." "[Consort Park]" "How could it be your fault?" "Prince Yang Myung hasn't been coming to the palace to pay his respects to you lately?" "I heard that he went for a brief trip out of the city." "Because His Majesty The King has eyes as sharp as knives, it may make him feel uncomfortable to visit the palace." "If he would come back, please tell him to make a trip to the Queen's quarters to pay respect." "And if he were to drop by the Crown Prince's quarters on the way, that would be even better." "Please give me a good price." "I have to buy some gifts for my friends." "I have never seen a hunter like you before." "Are you a newcomer?" "No, I am just visitor passing through." "I just ran out of traveling money, so I caught a few of these for fun." "Let me take a look." "These are all wild pheasants, right?" "Of course." "From deep inside the mountains, the real wild pheasants that grew up only drinking dew." "What's that?" "Dew?" "Hey, you fella." "How can wild pheasants live on only dew?" "You are really..." "What is that line over there?" "Ah!" "It's an eight year old blind girl who has so much divining ability." "She is able to tell exactly what you are suffering from without feeling your pulse." "And also, they are selling some kind of stone talisman, that was rumored to be a cure for all sickness." "They have been lining up like that in order to buy that medicine." "A cure for all sickness?" "Yes, a cure for all sickness." "I had been having trouble deciding what sort of presents to buy." "Then should I get one of those, as well?" "Here!" "Surpassing even the State Shaman, Jang Nok Young, is the divining powers of this child shaman!" "Putting Hua Tuo and Bian Que out of business, (Ancient Chinese Physicians) is the mystical stone that is able to cure all illnesses." "Limited quantity, we have just 50!" "Here, here!" "There aren't many left, so come quickly to get your number tags." "Everyone come quickly to buy them." "Give me one." "There really aren't many left." "It's those people, State Shaman." "Those are the shameless people who are using children to con others." "And when they starve and abuse a child to death, they buy another child and continue with their business." "Sometimes, the children get sold into prostitution." "I will have to go in and have a look myself." "Now, the customers from # 41 to # 45, enter!" "Please wait for a moment." "You have to go take a number tag first." "I'm sorry, but I'm before you." "Two suns in the Joseon sky?" "There is an evil energy piled up on your shoulder, so you must be suffering from shoulder pains, right?" "Sugoong*, sugoong..." "(*Underwater palace)" "The sugoong fairy says that a vengeful spirit has stuck to you." "And that he is really a strong fellow." "Two suns." "You have to make use of the # 2 mystical stone." " That will be 20 nyang*.(*Old Korean coinage)" " Oh my, thank you." "But, what's the reason you are here?" "Well as for me," "I hurt my leg when I was hunting for wild boars." "Now then, the next customer please." "A mountain animal's vengeful spirit has covered your hurt leg..." "Oh, I can see rays of lights coming from you, Ahjussi." "It's a really pretty yellow." "Or is it reddish?" "Light?" "What kind of light?" "I am hungry." "Sugoong, sugoong, sugoong, sugoong..." "The sugoong fairy says for that leg ailment of yours, the # 4 stone will be enough for you." "Her body is gaunt and her belly is bloated." "And there is some strange sound coming from her stomach." "This is probably due to stomach and spleen damage, dehydration, lack of rest, and bad blood circulation, right?" "Rascal, what do you think you are trying to do here?" "It is clearly malnutrition caused by starvation and exhaustion." "So do you want to get beaten up by mystical stone # 2?" "These bruises on her neck." "These wounds." "Just how many hidden wounds are there that you're trying to cover up?" "That's because this wretched girl gets easily bruised..." "That's really strange." "Don't you feel that something is wrong?" "Open your eyes." "Ah, you wretched little girl!" "Aish!" "I am hungry!" "Hungry!" "Hey, aren't you a con-man?" "!" "He's a fake, a fake!" "The money, money." "What are you doing?" "My money, my money..." "Please call for the constable." "Ahjussi, I am feeling dizzy because you are running too fast." "That's because you've been starved for too long." "Just hang on for a moment." "I will be taking you to a physician." "And also," "I am not an ahjussi, Kiddo!" "Come here!" "Ahjussi!" "Ahjussi!" "Ahjussi!" "I don't want to go!" "I don't want to be beaten!" "You are not going to be quiet?" "!" "Put that child down at once." "What's this now?" "Move aside!" "Move!" "Move!" "Go after him!" "Let's go!" "Catch him!" "Let that child go, okay?" "I'll ask some places like the inn to take in that child and raise her well." "All because of you, our earnings for the day are all gone, and we can't set foot in this place again." "Now... do you realize what sin you have committed?" "I warn you not to make me angry." "It'll get really dangerous if I get angry." "It will be even more dangerous if I get angry." "You rascal!" "I am warning you one more time." "It's really going to get dangerous for you if you make me angrier." "Did I tell you that my sword fighting teacher was the top military scholar from the recent civil exams?" "If your sword fighting teacher is the top military scholar, then my father is His Majesty The King, you punk!" "I know His Majesty The King a little." "And he says he never had a son like you!" "Your Highness." "I have completed my trip safely and have returned." "Please forgive me for paying my respects from outside the palace." "Has the Crown Prince been healthy, as well, during this time?" "I am not going to run away, so please stop that." "If you were to find out I am the Crown Prince," "I suppose you would nag even more." "But after all, there probably won't be any reason for you and I to meet again." "Draw, circle, write, square." "If you were to draw it, it's a circle." "If you were write it, it'll be a square." "I think I know this." "Rabbit, life, rooster, death?" "The rabbit lives but the rooster dies?" "What on earth could this be?" "Miss, it's Seol!" "You are still looking at that thing, Miss?" "Seol." "If the rabbit lives but the rooster dies, what will happen?" "Who is going to wake up the people in the morning if the rooster dies?" "You should go to sleep now." "Do you want to be scolded again by the High Official?" "I thought in the moonlight," "I might see some hidden words." "Who is going to wake up the people in the morning if the rooster dies?" "Morning." "The hour of the rabbit." "Rabbit, life, rooster, death." "Born during the hour of the rabbit." "Dies at the hour of the rooster?" "[Hours of the Rabbit - 5 AM to 7 AM Hours of the Rooster - 5 PM to 7 PM]" "If you were to draw it, it's a circle." "If you were write it, it'll be a square." "Rises during the hour of the rabbit and sets at the hour of the rooster?" "Day!" "The daytime!" "Sun!" "Sun..." "Are you belittling me right now?" "I am this nation, Joseon's..." "Sun." "Could it really be, that we will be able to meet again?" "Crown Prince, do you know?" "Do you know how relieved I am that there is no reason for us to meet again?" "I am really happy to see you again." "Heo Yeon Woo."

"This is my sister's gift for you." "You will become sick if you keep it in your heart." "The longing to see you." "I don't care if everyone else becomes the Crown Prince's people, as long as you become mine." "I called you here because I want you to help read the kids' faces." "Who knows?" "Among them, there may be a child that may become our Crown Prince's future consort."

"Quickly." "Quickly remove that thing." "Quickly!" "Your Highness." "Perhaps, we can meet again?" "He wouldn't have sent an assassin, would he?" "Hye Woo Suk?" "What concern do you have that you aren't able to sleep?" "Tell your concerns to this rock." "This rock is called "Hye Woo Suk" that worries for you." "This rock takes away your problems and brings solutions, so sleep comfortably now." "It's a souvenir from my trip." "He came again?" "This man is really!" "Haven't I made myself clear to him?" "As expected, Jae Woon, your skills are amazing." "I guess I have no talent in weaponry." "Looking at my state after years of training." "Are you okay, Young Master?" "Can't you stop calling me 'young master'?" "I've told you many times, but you're stubborn as well." "Anyway, Prince Yang Myung is late." "From the promised time, he is already an hour late." "When Prince Yang Myung was here, this backyard was always noisy." "Since there are only you and me, it seems a bit empty." "Had I known that you would have missed me this much," "I would have ended my journey and returned sooner." "Prince Yang Myung!" "My love, Heo Yeom!" "Congratulations on passing the civil service examinations." " Wow!" " Prince Yang Myung." "Kim Jae Woon!" "You are not amiable at all." "Jae Woon, I will just half congratulate you." "Did you enjoy your trip?" "I did as a matter fact." "Now!" "For my loving popular friends, I brought back precious tofu, so let's drink in the moonlight, okay?" "Let's go." "Now, let's drink." "Because you're running late, I thought you were going to stay away longer." "I was late because I was looking at an important person." "Forgive me." "I have found someone I care for more than you." "Have you found a lover while you were gone?" "You haven't ever said anything about someone..." "You didn't by any chance climb over a wall again, did you?" "Hey, what are you talking about?" "How can I, with my prince status, climb into a woman's house?" "Especially, when it's the wall of your precious younger sister..." "Even though my sister is young, it's the law that men and women of different families must be separated." "On top of that, weren't you found by the child and received a scolding?" "After going through that, how could you go..." " again?" " I know." "I know." "I know." "I know very well, so please stop." "You're so uptight." "If you showed her to me when I asked," "I wouldn't have gone through that embarrassing situation." "Whenever your sister's name comes up, your face turns sour and your voice becomes lower." "Jeez." "Prince Yang Myung!" "Oh!" "Did you just laugh?" "Yeom!" "You saw it too, right?" "This ice man laughed!" "It's a once in a lifetime event." " Don't you agree?" " If you climb that wall again," "I'm not going to stand by and do nothing." "I said I understood." "More importantly, I have special presents for you two." "These are charms to help you start your official career." "Have you heard of the mystic rocks?" "Whenever you look at it, think of me, so you must always carry it with you." "It may be a bit heavy to carry it on me." "Oh, is that so?" "If that 2nd one is too big, then I'll give you the 4th one." "Then are you guys now becoming the Crown Prince's men, too?" "What's wrong with the atmosphere?" "Come." "Come." "Come." "Once you enter the palace, we won't have the chance to meet like this, so enjoy tonight." "Here." "This is the newly edited list for the ministry officials." "This is the Sammang*?" "(*The king picks one from the recommended candidates)" "Yes." "They have been chosen for Sigangwon* (*The office in charge of the Crown Prince's education) after great deliberation from the grand masters." "These are the most outstanding candidates." "Your Highness, as you have ordered, I've learned more about the junior officials." "Alright." "Who were the ones chosen?" "Though I do not know who the king chose, the list of top 3 recommendations," "I have brought through great pain." "Firstly, the Ethics final candidates are:" " Yoon Sung Chul, Yoon Dae Ho," " Yoon Sung Chul, Yoon Dae Ho," "Kim Ki Joo." "The Crown Prince's teachers:" "Park Ji Hong, Yoon Pil Won, Jung Min." "Literature candidates:" "Yoon Si Wan, Choi Byung Eun, Choi Chi Soo." "You knew already?" "Do you think that's new information?" "Aigoo..." "It seems like Grandmother used a lot of resources." "No, the one who worked hard is probably Yoon Dae Hyung." "So, is that the only thing you have learned?" "Today will be the first day of class with your new literature tutor, but I do not know very well who is..." "Whether it's one person or the other, they're all probably men who want power," " old farts." " Then perhaps, are you saying that you're going to make him lose again..." "For someone who can't participate in politics yet, how can I have that kind of right?" "Then..." "I only have one choice." "I'm going to let him see how difficult it is." "Yo, Yo..." "Your Highness!" "Well then, shall we go test how long the new literature teacher is going to last?" "Your Highness..." "How long do you think he will endure this time?" "I bet my special hair pin that he will quit and lose the election within a month." "Let's go." "Oh!" "Oh my." "Yo..." "Your Highness, the new literature tutor is here." "I received the royal command to become the literature tutor, Shin Heo Yeom." "I am meeting the Crown Prince for the first time today." "Older brother is going to be at the Sigangwon with the Crown Prince?" "Then, brother is going to be the Crown Prince's teacher?" "Since he received the royal command to be the literature candidate at Sigangwon, isn't that obvious?" "[Madam Shin]" "Yeon Woo, are you okay?" "I'm okay." "I was thinking about something else." "Jeez, where is your head?" "You read hard books easily, but look at your embroidery." "He probably won't know that I am his sister, right?" "Why are you saying such an obvious thing?" "What?" "Oh, never mind." "I am here to watch my brother awarded the top literary scholar." "Your Highness..." "Please have respect for your teacher." "How old are you this year?" "Two years have passed since jihak*." "(*15 years)" "Then, you're just 17?" "That's correct." "Your Highness, please have respect..." "For such a young age, you must have a strong supporter." "Heo Yeom?" "Did you say Heo Yeom?" "Out of all the Sigangwon positions, you couldn't put one of our own people in that position and you gave up the position to someone who is still young?" "!" "Are you unaware of how important that position is or, have you forgotten about what I said like wind passing?" "Heo Yeom, won't be able to control the Crown Prince's temper." "In a short time, he'll walk out on his..." "Oh, I'm so frustrated!" "Who is he?" "He is the son of the Chief Scholar, a man of proper behavior." "Do you still not understand what that means?" "With this choice of personnel, he will be removing all of his maternal relatives." "Do you not know that?" "The king is already forming his own political power!" "Bulsogishin*." "(*A god that even the king can't call whenever he wants)" "After learning, he became god." "Then make him your servant to help you become king." "Then, he's a god that is not only a teacher but a friend." "That's good." "That's very good." "17!" "17?" "!" "What does Father take me for that he assigned a baby!" "Your Highness, I finally have information about the man, Heo Yeom." "He placed first in the literature" " examination." " Be quiet!" "The information that you bring is always behind." "I'm positive this time." "His popularity and fame were amazing since he was a Sungkyunkwan scholar." "If you wanted looks, he has the looks." "If it was knowledge, he has it." "If it was personality, his was the best, as well." "He is the perfect classical scholar who did no wrong." "Is there a seat available?" " Over here." "Sit here." " Sit here." "The seniors at Sungkyunkwan were a given." "The students viewed him sacredly and highly." "Men and women of all ages, regardless of one's position, were all attracted to his charm." "He was known as the fascination of the scholars." "Are you Heo Yeom whom Eun Hyang from the brothel likes?" "Do you want to..." "As soon as people saw him... be friends with me?" "They were charmed by his looks and personality, so they asked if they could be friends." "Not only that!" "Literature, politics, history, philosophy, and mathematics." "There isn't a subject he doesn't have an interest in." "Basically, to express with thought provoking Chinese characters, he's a genius who said that studying was the easiest for him!" "Shut it!" "Shut it!" "Shut your mouth!" "I don't want to see you, so for the time being turn around." "Brother, it's Yeon Woo." "Oh, yes." "Come in." "I see it's time for us to read already." "Let's see." "What book did we say we were going to read today?" "Was it The Great Historian or New Accounts of the World?" "Your face has worry written all over it." "Does it look like that to you?" "Did something happen to you today at the palace?" "Or perhaps, has the Crown Prince been giving you a hard time?" "It's not that." "It's not like that." "I think I have received a hard task from the Crown Prince." "What is it?" "Please tell me." "I will help you." "Will you really help me?" "I think the Crown Prince has a big misunderstanding about me." "I don't know how to open up his heart." "Misunderstanding?" "I'm sure it's not only because of a misunderstanding." "Do you think he'll feel comfortable having a young man as his teacher?" "It's not because of you, Brother." "That's..." "Maybe, because of me." "Oh no." "I made you worry for no reason." "Don't worry." "If something is tied, then it will untie somehow." " Brother." " Yes." "Brother, you want to win over the Crown Prince's heart, right?" "Do you have a way to do so?" "I will end today's class here." "You're really a shameless person." "You're not teaching me a thing, yet you're receiving pay." "You're really shameless." "It seemed as if you were not ready for class yet, Your Highness." "It's probably that you're not ready to teach me, yet." "Then instead of our class today, may I dare to give you a riddle?" "Did you say a riddle?" "Yes." "If you are able to answer the riddle, I will give up my position." "However, if by any chance, you are not able to answer it..." "If I can't?" "Please respect me as your teacher and show me you want to learn." "You want to have a deal." "Fine." "Give it to me." "Since you asked, I will dare to give it to you." "It is something that can light up the darkness in a moment." "It is something that can bring the light into darkness in a moment." "What is it?" "Isn't that so simple?" "It won't be that simple." "That's what you think." "I will look forward to hearing the answer at our next class." "At the same time, there won't be a reason for me to see you again." "Those are eunuchs from the Crown Prince's palace, aren't they?" "But, why are they taking all the books from the library to Crown Prince's palace?" "The queen is waiting for you, Princess." "Princess!" "Didn't you say you were going to Jung Palace?" "Brother, after listening to father's scolding, have you decided to study enthusiastically?" "Wow!" "When do you plan on reading all these books?" "Min Hwa, since I don't have time to play with you, don't distract me and go back." "Why is the Crown Prince suddenly acting like this?" "Why are you standing like that?" "The reason I am standing like this is because of the Crown Prince's order." "His Highness is trying to solve a Sigangwon assignment he received from his tutor." "Assignment?" "What is the assignment?" "I told you go away." "Huh?" "Please tell me what the assignment was." "Something that makes the world light in an instant, and also makes the world dark in an instant." "That's what the assignment was." "Isn't that the eyelids?" "Look." "If you close your eyes like this, the entire world becomes dark." "If you open your eyes like this, the entire world becomes light, right?" "Look at the way you think." "You're substandard." "Aigoo..." "This is why I don't talk to you." "You're distracting my studies." "Go back now." "The answer is monarch's politics." "As written in the Doctrine of Means:" "Let the states of equilibrium and harmony exist in perfection, and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth, and all things will be nourished and flourish." " H-His Royal High..." " Shush!" "So, the monarch will reign over the country with sincerity and kindness." "If there is continuous harmony, then all creations will be happy." "In other words, the citizens' lives will become brighter." "Then the opposite, the citizens' lives will become darker." "The answer is obviously monarch's politics, is it not?" "I'm sorry, but it is different from the answer that I have." "What did you say just now?" "It is not the answer?" "Yes, that's correct." "Then, what is the answer?" "The answer is... eyelids." "Are you joking around with me?" "If you do not like the answer, then does it become a joke?" "What?" "What did you say?" "If the answer cannot be found in the scriptures, does it become a low level idea?" "Then, what seemed like child's play is really the answer?" "When you look at it from the eyes of a child, the entire world can become a problem, and the entire world can become the answer." "There are two important things for learning." "One is... you have to lose the arrogance that you know the answer to everything, and the other is... answering the questions from your pride and bias." "That pride and bias is making Your Highness's eyes, heart, and everything dark." "You need to realize that." "I apologize, Your Highness." "Shush!" "You said monarch's politics." "That is absolutely correct." "But, having your eyelids closed tightly, how are you going to observe the citizens' well-being?" "How are you going to become king?" "First, please correct your attitude towards learning." "Is anyone outside?" "Yes, Your Highness." "Yes, Your Highness." "Please give your order." "Tell the kitchen to have refreshments ready." "Yes?" "Why refreshments?" "After my lesson," "I want to chat with my tutor and apologize." "Yes?" "Then," "Your Highness!" "Today, I will learn about literature and show my respect for my tutor, and do my best to learn." "Please forget about how I acted previously, and please accept my greeting." "It seems like the Crown Prince has finally met a good teacher." "Hence, my brother, that amazing Crown Prince, surrendered to the literature tutor, right?" "Princess, your laughter is too loud." "Please lower your voice." "Please." "The tutor is a special person." "I have to see his face." "I'm going to give him an award." "Princess, you're not planning on seeing a man outside your family," " are you?" " As well as," "I am going to tell him that I answered that hard riddle, too!" "Princess." "Princess!" "Princess!" "Aigoo, Princess!" "Princess!" "Princess." "Princess." "Princ..." "There is something I am curious about." "Please ask." "If I had actually answered correctly, were you planning on giving up your position?" "Do you think I wasn't prepared to do something like that?" "I only viewed you as a pedant, but you're stronger than you seem." "Actually, my younger sister gave me the strength." "If you act like a tongue inside his mouth, what isn't there that you cannot do?" "So even though the Crown Prince's attitude for learning is reckless, you'll just need to give him excellent grades." "There was such an easy solution." "But how long will that gratitude go, since you didn't gain his heart sincerely." "What is the point in that?" "That is also true." "The road to being a treacherous subject is easy, and the road to being a loyal subject is hard, but shouldn't you think about what's better for the Crown Prince first?" "Be a disloyal subject and gain his hypocritical heart, or be a loyal subject and receive a possibility of his trust." "Is that what you mean?" "The Crown Prince is a wise man." "Though he has a misunderstanding about you, he will realize your loyalty eventually." "So please have strength, Brother." "She is quite a smart person." "How old is your sister this year?" "She is 13." "13?" "Then, you discuss your worries with your younger sister?" "Your Highness, the tea is getting cold." "Drink it before the smell and taste dissipate." "Oh, right." "Tutor Heo, please have some as well." "Then, the person who scolded me today is not you, but your sister." "Isn't that right?" "That's true." "Then, the person who has the right to eat this precious taffy is also your sister, right?" " Yes?" " Hyung Sun." "Yes, Your Highness" "Wrap this black taffy." "I have to present this to my hidden tutor, not Tutor Heo who is in front of me right now." "Hyung Sun." "Yes, Your Highness." "Can you believe that a 13 year old said those wise things?" "If it is Tutor Heo's sister, then I think it would be possible." "Tutor Heo became a top literary scholar" " at the age of 17" " What did you just say?" "Tutor Heo won a first place at the state examinations?" "When?" "When did he?" "This past examinations." "I am just here to attend my brother's top literary scholar award ceremony." "Why are you telling me that now?" "!" "Why now?" "When I tried to tell you last time, you told me: "Shut your mouth"." ""I can't trust the information you bring me."" ""Shut your mouth immediately."" "The Crown Prince did?" "Yes." "He said a present for his tutor and gave it to me." "If you say seok soo*, (*A gift presented to a teacher) then it's yours." "Then why are you giving it to me?" "Well, that's because I told him that you gave me the strength to lecture him." "What?" "!" "A..." "And?" "He said the real teacher was you, not me, and took care to give this to you." "He didn't say anything else?" "Well, nothing really in particular..." "Oh!" "He asked if the riddle was your idea, as well." "Riddle?" "!" "Yes." "I actually gave His Highness a riddle." "Oh, yes." "But, why do you seem so unsettled since earlier?" "What?" "Oh..." "It's nothing." "Did you solve the riddle that I gave you?" "Are you really... the Crown Prince?" "Well..." "What do you think?" "I... wish that you're not." "Why don't you try one." "Is it delicious?" "It's very delicious." "The fact that you gave this to me... does that mean you have forgiven me?" "If not..." "Are you trying to scare me?" "Please tell me... what you mean." "He cannot neglect his ministers like this!" "Who are the ones who protected the king in the past?" "Who should he be thankful for being able to reign right now?" "All of this is because of the Queen Mother and you, the Minister of Personnel, isn't it?" "Every year, we hold a unity meeting for the ministers who have done meritorious service for the king, but how can he exclude the ministers from this?" "If it was going to be a precedent, then the Minister of Personnel would be in the leading position." "Heo Young Jae... we have to get rid of him first." "Ever since he became the Chief Scholar, the Three Offices have united." "The King's advisors in the Three Offices have started to voice their own opinions." "With them sending appeals to the King daily, renouncing his distinguished relatives, it is not unthinkable that His Majesty's devotion would begin to slant." "That's true." "With this tutor appointment, the fact that his son was chosen, it's the king's way of giving him more power, don't you agree?" "If we don't do something to take care of him..." "If we do that, there's only blood that will be on that hand." "Then, is there another solution?" "When they gain one position, another will become useless." "What's the point of rushing?" " You're back, Father." " Why did you drink so much?" "Tell the chef to make some honey water and bring it to him." " Yes." " Let us go." "Aigoo!" "You..." "Do you want to go see the palace?" " What?" " If you want," "I can have you live there." "Queen's father." "The father of the queen." "Why do you need a letter paper suddenly, Young Miss?" " Do you plan on writing a letter?" " Not a letter," " but an apology letter." " What?" "Why are you writing an apology on such expensive paper?" "You can just go in person and apologize till your hands become raw." "It's because he's not a person I can see whenever I please." "Well, is the person His Highness or the Crown Prince?" "Jeez, just say an apology or get hit a few times." "I don't care if I am physically punished, but I'm afraid that something may happen to my brother." "I'm sorry, Young Miss." "I'll just be a minute." "I want to go to the blacksmith." "Just a minute!" "Have the two of you really done something wrong?" "Ow." "Young Miss." "Young Miss." "Where do you keep your eyes?" "!" "I'm sorry." "Please forgive me." "Are you alright, Young Miss?" "Where are you touching with your dirty hands?" "It's fine, Nanny." "It's not like this child did it on purpose." "You seem like you're in a hurry." "I'm fine, so get along." "Thank you." "Young Miss, thank you!" "Oh yes." "Here you go." "Good bye." "We're here to pick up the hair piece that we ordered the other day." "Yes, hold on a moment." " What's wrong, Nanny?" " The purse..." "Young Miss, just wait a bit, okay?" "It's dangerous, so go over there." "Ahjussi, even with things like that, don't you make weapons?" "The ones that fighters use!" "W... why are you..." " doing this?" " Do you really not know why?" " Hand over the purse." " What purse?" "Do you think I wouldn't know?" "You bumped into the miss and pretended to dust her off and stole the purse!" "I didn't steal it." "Have you ever seen such a treacherous wretch before?" "Will you hand it over if you have thief written on your face?" "Where is it?" "Where did you hide it?" "I didn't steal it!" " I didn't do it!" " Stop it, Nanny." "Young Miss." "There are a lot of people watching, how can you act so irrationally?" "Please believe me, Young Miss." "I didn't steal it." "Alright." "You're saying you're innocent, right?" "Yes." "Then..." "Prove it." "That you're not a thief." "Enough looking at the flowered paper." "Why should you put a flower pattern on an apology?" "For the King... down here, this paper with the four gracious plants" " is..." " I said it's not the King, so why do you keep saying that?" "Then, is it the Crown Prince?" "Oh, it must be the Crown Prince then." "Then it's even better." "I am the Crown Prince's hyung." "The Crown Prince's tastes, let's see." "But..." "What did you do wrong that you're writing an apology?" "Wow!" "This is a greenhouse, isn't it?" "Oh, you know!" "I've only seen them in books." "It's my first time seeing it, actually." "That lattice window is made with oil based paper." "It's to let in the sun and block out the wind, right?" "Wow!" "Is this yours?" "Among my kinsmen, there's a man who is obsessed with vegetation." "Since he can't obtain a government office, he was sulking about and wasted his money to make this greenhouse." "The reason why my brother has to live like that... is because of me." "I don't know if he's worried about my father, but it's been a long time since he has come to see me." "Thanks to that man, I borrow this place once in a while." "It's the perfect place to dry wet clothes, right?" "Prince Yang Myung," "I've heard it's been a long time since you've gone to the palace." "Here, what do you think of this?" "This chrysanthemum is the one flower that the King likes, so at every event it is always included." "If this is it, won't it be better than an apology letter?" "What kind of a person is the king?" "I'm curious about what kind of a person he is." "Um, well..." "What kind of a person should I say he is?" "The King... is a man whose face is bright like January." "He always contemplates about what he has to do for the citizens and his officials." "You're very arrogant!" "For an illegitimate prince, why are you trying to learn the road to becoming king?" "!" "Though he is severe, he is a free person." "Oh, my Crown Prince has come." "I heard that you finished your literature studies quickly." "For the teachers and tutors who taught the Crown Prince well," "I will give a big reward." "Well anyway, he's an amazing person." "Are you not going to the palace?" "I heard that you haven't been there since your return from your journey" "Did you hear from Yeom?" "No." "I just think he's waiting for you." "Who is waiting for me?" "The Crown Pri..." "No." "I mean," "The King is waiting, and the Crown Prince, as well." "They are busy people." "Do you think they'll have time to wait for me?" "They are waiting for you." "For someone who writes poetry, do you not know what longing is?" "When the fires in our bodies become sick, it becomes longing." "Why then do you think... the Crown Prince tried to climb over a wall?" "Then..." "When I scale your wall in the dark, you must understand." "This and that are two different..." "How are they different?" "An..." "Anyway, go pay your respect and greet them a day sooner." "I'm being serious." "Why are you laughing at me?" "It's been a long time, since you've stared at me in the face and talked to me for a long time." "Thank you for your warning, but you should worry about yourself." "Tell me who your master is!" "That way I can get the money that you stole!" "Why can't you tell me who your master is?" "Oh, you and your master are working together, right?" "You wretch!" "Before I hand you over to the police, talk!" "You wretch!" "Then why didn't you watch where you were going." "I'll make you open your mouth." "If you thought you'd be safe after you soiled my favorite clothes, then that's a big mistake." " Did you say stealing?" " Yes." "Of all people, she touched the Minister of Personnel's belongings." "She was going to be dragged to the government officials and have thief engraved in her face, but the young miss barely ended it and took her to their house." "You wretch." " Bring the straw mat!" " Yes." "Seol!" "Young Miss." "Are you okay?" "Are you alright?" "What are you doing?" "Even if she did do something wrong, how can you do this to a person..." "What is the commotion about?" "Excuse me." "I am the Chief Scholar's daughter, Heo Yeon Woo." "I heard that my maid stole your purse." "I think that there's a mistake here." "What do you think you're doing?" "I told you to find out the truth." " Who told you to punish her like this?" " But..." "You said to beat her to the brink of death earlier, Young Miss." "I'm sorry, Young Miss." "You told me to send her back but my anger did not subside, so..." "You're apologizing to the wrong person!" "I'm sorry." "No matter how much I asked, she wouldn't say whose maid she was." "The ignorant servants did this without knowing, so please forgive us." "It's hard to control those who work for us." "However, her habit of stealing is not being fixed." "So before she becomes a bigger thief," "I think it'll be a good idea to sell her." "In any case, the money you lost," " I'll send someone to pay..." " There's no need for that." "Since we made a mark on your belonging, let's forget this happened." "Young Miss." "This child is not a thing that you buy and sell, but my friend and my family." "What?" "For me, though there is no division between the nobles and the commoners," "I believe that there is a division in personal affairs." "Though I do not know how much money you have lost today, do you think it'll amount to the hurt that this child received today?" "What did you say?" "So, as I understand that you're sending her back, then I will take her home." "Let's go, Seol." "Are you okay?" "What kind of girl..." "This is my sister's present for sending her the black taffy." "It looks like it's a plant, but what did she plant?" "I'm not sure of that, either." "It looks like it's a seed that she got from a greenhouse." "She said if you grow it on a heated floor, it will have the effects of a greenhouse." " Then, shall we start cla..." " Tutor Heo," " what kind of person is your sister?" " What?" "She listens to your problems and gives solutions, so it's obvious that she's a wise girl." "Exactly, what kind of person is she?" "Your Highness, it's time to take part in Sayeon*. (*Discussions about writings)" "It's because your brother-sister relationship is special, so I am envious." "Every night, I read a book with my sister and there are a lot of opportunities for us to discuss many things, so..." "You read books with your sister?" "Yes, that's correct." "Since she was young, she was a child who enjoyed reading books more than my seniors, so I have a lot to learn from her, as well." "She's the complete opposite of my sister, Princess Min Hwa." "That child only knows the alphabet and she is such a crybaby!" "Min Hwa..." " look at the way you look." " Brother, I hate you!" "What are you doing right now?" " Why are you doing this?" " You're saying bad things about me ...especially in front of him!" "I hate you." "I hate you." "I hate you!" "The Crown Prince is lying to you." "I'm not a crybaby, but a pure-hearted lady." "I've nearly finished memorizing the alphabet." "I understand." "I understand your words perfectly, Princess, so please stop crying now." "If you continue, your beautiful face will become ruined." "I'm beautiful?" "What?" "Am I really beautiful?" "Miss!" "Princess!" "Take her away now." "Look at this handwriting, Hyung Sun." "How can you say that a 13 year old girl wrote this?" "It's amazing that there's a girl who knows Chinese characters, but this girl's handwriting is amazing, as well." "But, what is the content like?" "This is Yi Gyu Bo's* verse." "(*Goryeo Statesman/Minister)" "A monk who lived in the mountains wanted to have the moonlight." "So he gathered the moonlight in a bottle." "He went back to the temple and realized that when the bottle was emptied, the moonlight is gone." "A bottled up moonlight... is impossible to have." "What would be the point of remembering a young girl's mistake?" "Please forget about what happened at Eunweol Pavilion." "I'm repenting." "It seems like she has already solved the riddle I have given her." "Forget?" "I thought she was wise, but she's foolish, isn't she?" "How can I forget about you?" "Princess!" "Princess." "Princess!" " Father!" " Oh..." "It's Princess Min Hwa." "Father, are you in good health today, as well?" "Now that I have seen my Princess Min Hwa, any illness I may have had are all gone!" "Then why has my princess come all the way to the Palace Hall?" "Father, I want to learn to read, as well." "Oh!" "My Princess has become interested in learning words?" "Yes!" "I want to learn from the Crown Prince's tutor, as well." "Are you referring to Tutor Heo?" "Yes." "You can't." "Why is it impossible?" "He is the Crown Prince's teacher." " Learning from the Crown Prince's teacher..." " I don't like that!" " I will learn from Tutor Heo!" " How could you?" "!" "Didn't I say no?" "There are some things you can have and others that you cannot." "Please kill me." "A book boy?" "Yes, Your Highness." "Just as a book boy was used to prepare a prince to become the Crown Prince, prepare one for the princess as well by choosing a daughter of the ministers." "How about choosing out of the daughters, one who is personable and smart?" "Normally, only the Crown Prince had someone to accompany him." "Although this has never been done before, for the Princess's learning, it may not be a bad idea." "Then, is there a lady who's recommended?" "When considering age and morality, the Minister of Personnel's daughter is worth recommending." "The Minister of Personnel's daughter, that's good." "Then, what about bringing in the Chief Scholar's daughter as a book girl, as well?" "The Princess's book girl?" "Yes." "Every three days, you will accompany the princess and listen to the Queen's teachings with her." "Do you want to try?" "Entering the palace?" "You don't want to?" "That's not it." "If it's not something you want, tell me." "I will tell His Majesty." "Why aren't you sleeping?" "Why?" "Yeon Woo does not want to be a book girl?" "She said she would." "Then why?" "The palace is a place where you have to be cautious of every step you take." "To bring two of our children into a place like that doesn't make me comfortable." "She's just going to become the Princess's companion." "If there are no hidden causes, then nothing can be done." "Are you saying there's a hidden reason for being a book girl?" "You're just over thinking." "She's a young girl who doesn't know politics." "I'm uneasy about this." "Very uneasy." "Our Yeon Woo was born with a noble fate." "Someone once said that she'll risk her life for hers." "Who said that?" "Someone said that, so don't worry." "You should go in and sleep." "Ari, have you been well?" "I'm sorry I couldn't visit often." "My life is until now..." "You have to live and protect that child, instead of me." "Tell me, Ari." "Who is the child that I have to protect?" "Princess Min Hwa is still childish, so I am worried." "Don't worry." "Once she spends time with the ministers' daughters, she will start to mature." "Queen Mother, Seongsucheong's shaman has arrived at the palace not too long ago." "Oh, is that so?" "It seems like she hurried here." "If it's Seongsucheong's shaman, then are you imploring on an ivy to bring good fortune to your family?" "I had her come to look at the children's physiognomy who will become the book girls." "Why the book girls' physiognomy?" "In any case, they are children we are bringing into the palace, aren't they?" "Caution." "You must be cautious." "Who knows?" "If amongst the two, there might be one who will become the Crown Prince's wife." "What?" "From now, you will have a lot of responsibilities." "If she goes near the sun, she will face disaster." "She is a child whose fate forces her to stand by the sun's side." "Please protect her and make sure she is safe." "There are two moons."

"Miss, what are you doing at the palace?" "Could it be that you are also to be a companion to the princess?" "Then, you too?" "High Shaman." "The Queen Mother is waiting for you." "Let's go." "I, High Shaman of Seongsucheong, have returned from the blessing ceremony and come to see you, Your Highness." "Fine." "Were you able to carry out everything as you had hoped in Songak?" "There was confusion and disorder amidst the movements of the heavens' divine secrets." "therefore we offered up fervent prayer for a few more days and I returned to the palace later than expected." "I ask for your understanding." "Would I be so narrow-minded?" "Aside from that..." "As you have received the message, you must already know that I would like you to do a physiognomy assessment* *character judgment through appearance of the Princess's companions who are entering the palace." "What do you want to determine through this assessment?" "The countenance of a Queen." "After traveling through mountains and streams, purifying your mind and spirit, you must have more clarity in your eyes than ever." "Between the two children, determine if there is the countenance of a future Queen." "Until the Queen calls for you, please wait here for a while." "Excuse me." "Your name is Bo Kyung, right?" "Although our first meeting was not so pleasant, couldn't we just forget the past and try to get along well from now onwards?" "In the palace, you must not make anyone into your enemy." "Even if it is your enemy, on the outside, you must bite your tongue." "You must never show your true feelings or allow anyone to discover them." "That is politics." "All right." "Let's get on well." "Thank goodness." "I thought that you might still be very angry at me." "No." "I was really sorry for what happened that day as well." "Since you put it that way," "I do feel really relieved." "From now on, let's truly try to get along well, shall we?" "All right." "No matter how I look at this, it doesn't seem like a flower at all." "What can this be?" "That's right." "I can see her and ask her directly." "Your Highness." "I have confirmation that the companions have already entered the palace." "Oh, right." "And did you manage to find out whose daughters they are?" "They are the Personnel Minister's daughter, Yoon Bo Kyung and the Chief Scholar's daughter, Heo Yeon Woo." "She has entered the palace as I had guessed." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo, is it?" "It's a very pretty name." "Could it be... that you have a maiden in your heart?" "Hyung Sun." "I can only depend on you." "Your Highness." "Why?" "Why are you acting like this?" "Your Highness." "I can't do that, Your Highness!" "Why can't you do it?" "For a crown prince and a maiden from a respectable home to meet alone..." "And more even inside the palace." "And in secret on top of that..." "That is something that absolutely cannot and must not happen!" "Furthermore..." "To penetrate the heavy security and move about secretly is in a word, impossible!" "That's why I am asking you to help me, isn't it?" "Have you forgotten about the recent wall climbing incident?" "The wounds on my exposed backside from the brutal punishment have not even yet healed." "And is that all?" "Today's schedule is no child's play." "In place of the His Majesty, the King, busy with all matters of the state, you must attend the soccer match of the new appointees of the Seonjeongwan*." "*Royal Messenger's Office" "And also..." "Sa Do Mok (palace attendant evaluation)." "Sa Do Mok" " Evaluation of palace attendants carried out by the Royal Secretariat 4 times a year." "When you did not pass the Sa Do Mok evaluation and were in utter despair, the person who earnestly comforted you, the person who helped you..." "Who was it?" "It... it..." "It was you, Your Highness." "The person who provided you with focused tutoring on the subject to be tested, The Doctrine of the Mean (Confucian treatise)..." "Ah... who was it?" "It was you, Your Highness." "And thus, you were not dismissed, but rather, your rank was promoted." "Who was that due to?" "It... it..." "It was you, Your Highness." "Upon hearing the news that you were entering the palace," "I was unable to sleep." "I will send someone shortly, so let's meet again then." "Lee Hwon." "Ay, always..." "That same story..." "That's absolutely... possible." "It must be hard on you, entering the palace." "Through the Queen Mother's decree," "I am to be responsible for the education of the Princess's companions." "And I have heard that you have already completed your studies of elementary Chinese characters and the Four Books for Women at home." "Is that right?" " Yes, that is so." " Yes, that is so." "And so, I don't think I will give you additional lessons on them." "Please just keep our Princess Min Hwa company and enjoy yourselves." "Your Highness, have you been well?" "Between the two of you, which of you is Scholar Heo's sister?" "Princess." "Is it you?" "Is it you?" "Which of you is Scholar Heo's sister?" "It is I." "So it is." "I just knew it was you." "You resemble Scholar Heo, so you are pretty as well." "Oh, right." "This is for you." "Inside it, there's a trinket." "I am deeply grateful." "I am the daughter of Chief Scholar Heo Young Jae from the Office of Special Advisors," "Heo Yeon Woo." "I am the daughter of Personnel Minister Yoon Dae Hyung," "Yoon Bo Kyung." "Queen, Royal Consort." "Yes, Majesty." "They are lovely children, are they not?" "It is as though flower petals have floated into the palace." "I hope that the both of them will become good companions of the Princess." "We shall heed your word." "Two moons risen up in the Joseon sky." "All you need to do is attend and watch." "There is no need for you to take part in the match personally." "What if Your Highness were to be injured?" "If I'm dead, I'm dead, but I cannot tolerate boredom." "The day His Majesty, the King, finds out about this, I'll be put to death." "Really." "You talk too much." "Have you been well, Your Highness?" "Oh, Hyungnim!" "Of course, I've been well." "Were you making your way to the East Palace (Palace of the Crown Prince)?" "Yes, I was going to see you." "And perhaps see Scholar Heo in the lecture hall." "Is Scholar Heo someone that you know?" "He is a friend I made after I left the palace." "Oh, I see." "I didn't know as Scholar Heo didn't mention it." "Let's find another place to talk instead of just standing here." "Please excuse me, Your Highness." "You must stay with your schedule." "It appears you are busy." "I will go and talk with Scholar Heo, so please go on with your schedule." "That works out well!" "Hyungnim, you should compete too." "Excuse me?" "Guards, listen." "Guards, you and the Seonjeongwan members are to split into two teams, and we will play a soccer match." "Your Highness." "With the East Palace's name at stake, we absolutely must win." "Do you understand?" "Certain victory!" "Do you know each other?" "He is a friend who studied with me under the Chief Scholar." "He is Kim Jae Woon, the top military scholar of the recent exams." "Didn't I tell you already?" "I'm not a thief." "I am here to watch my brother be awarded the top military scholar." "Why is it you just blame everyone else and tell lies when you open your mouth?" "The person who was awarded top military scholar is my brother's good friend." "Well, if it isn't the person who nearly became my brother?" "This is another interesting connection of fate." "Upon hearing the news that you were entering the palace," "I was unable to sleep." "I will send someone shortly, so let's meet again then." "What's that?" "What?" "It's nothing at all." "I can't do, it's too boring." "Let's go out and play, Yeon Woo." "Excuse me?" "Hurry." "Quickly." "Now." "Princess, Princess." "Princess." "Princess." "Lee Hwon?" "Let's go there, over there." "Come over quickly, quickly." "Start!" " Over here" " Miss, here." " Over here" " Miss, here." " Here, here" " Over here." " Over here" " Miss, here." "I am from the East Palace." "I will send someone shortly, so let's meet again then." "You are Scholar Heo's sister, correct?" "I... it's not I." " Over here" " Miss, here." " Here, here" " Over here." "How can that be?" "She looks really like Scholar Heo." " Over here" " Miss, here." "Hyung Sun." "What... are you doing here?" "Oh, yes." "I was just passing by." "Now then..." "Is there anything that you may like to ask?" "Is Scholar Heo in Crown Prince's study?" "Scholar Heo and the Crown Prince are at the soccer fields..." "Scholar Heo... playing soccer?" "Princess." "Where are you?" "Can you please clap your hands at least?" "Here, over here." "Scholar Heo is over there, over there." "Where?" "So then, was there the countenance of a Queen?" "Why are you not answering me?" "There wasn't?" "Congratulations." "Everything will go according to your wishes." "So then..." "The Personnel Minister's daughter..." "She will one day be master of the Queen's quarters." "What sort of joke of destiny is this?" "Though one has the countenance of a Queen, she is fated never to be master of the Queen's quarters." "Although one does not have the countenance of a Queen, she is fated to be master of the Queen's quarters." "Two moons." "Two Suns." "And... the smell of death." "Your Highness!" " His Highness." " His Highness." "Your Highness!" "Capture that man at once!" "Yes." "Your Highness." "It's a misunderstanding, your Highness." "All of you, stop!" "Let him go at once." "Your Highness, I deserve to die." "This is... a serious, competitive match." "From this point on, if you intentionally allow me to steal the ball or allow me to get by you or leave the goal open for me," "All of you will be severely punished under military law!" "Take heed." " We shall obey your order!" " We shall obey your order!" "Princess." "Why are you being like this?" "If the King finds out, there will be big trouble." "Don't worry." "The King always takes my side." "What are you all doing?" "Take the Princess back at once." "It is fine if everyone becomes one of the Crown Prince's people." "Heo Yeon Woo, as long as you are willing to be mine." "Your Majesty!" "Oh, it's you, Princess." "Are you enjoying your time with your companions?" "Yes." "I like this girl especially." "Whose daughter are you?" "I am the daughter of the Chief Scholar of the Office of Special Advisors, Heo Yeon Woo." "Then you must be the Personnel Minister's daughter." "That is so." "You truly have outstanding daughters." "Your kindness is immeasurable, Your Majesty." "I hope that you will become good companions of the Princess." "We shall take it to heart." "But then, since you have already entered the palace." "You are not allow to talk of the greenhouse trees." "Do you understand the meaning of my words?" "Personnel Minister's daughter, would you be willing to answer?" "Please forgive me." "I have always been taught by my father that literature and politics are the realms of men, and that virtues and obedience are the realms of women." "And so, I... have only studied elementary Chinese characters, the Four Books for Women, and the Book of the Virtuous Woman." "It's enough for a girl to learn to that standard." "So, then..." "Chief Scholar's daughter, would you like to offer an answer?" "The phrase "not to talk of the greenhouse trees"" "originates from the tale of" "Kong Guang, a Han Prime Minister." "All right." "What is the tale?" "Even when those closest to him asked what trees grew in the greenhouse, it is said that Kong Guang would never answer." "Would you also explain the meaning of the tale and phrase?" "It means that matters regarding the palace and the court must never be spread outside the palace walls." "You're doing very well, I see." "It is just as you said." "You must never speak of things you see, hear or feel inside the palace outside the palace walls." "Will you take that to heart?" " Yes." " Yes." "Your Highness." "Prince Yang Myung is requesting an audience." "Let him in." "I suppose there will be another fit of scolding like a bolt out of the blue." "Your loyal subject, Yang Myung, is here to pay respects to Your Majesty." "What brings you here?" "Please forgive me." "It's not that I have forgotten" "Your Majesty's warning to be cautious of making personal visits to the palace, but..." "I am asking why you have come to see me." "Your subject... has a small request to make of Your Highness." "You have a... request?" "That is so." "Speak." "There is a girl I have in my heart." "Whenever it might be, at some point, she is the woman I want to make my companion for life." "And if..." "By any chance, you have already made arrangements regarding my marriage..." "It is my hope... that you would also consider what is in my heart." "Your loyal subject dares to entreat Your Highness" "and make this, my first and final request." "Whose family's daughter is she?" "Excuse me?" "Did you not understand my words?" "I am asking you whose family's daughter is she?" "She is the daughter of the Chief Scholar from the Office of Special Advisors, the maiden named Heo Yeon Woo." "I understand." "I will think about it." "What is it you just said?" "I said that I'll think about it." "Your benevolence is immeasurable, Your Majesty." "Fool." "I just told you to show caution with your visits to the palace." "Did I ever tell you to stop coming completely?" "So then..." "What is your initial feeling of entering the palace for the first time as a companion to the princess?" "I liked it." "That couldn't possibly be all, could it?" "Yes, it is." "What is that?" "I've been curious and nervous about how you were doing in the palace." "So I have been waiting the whole day for you to come home." "And to hear you say only that is not interesting at all." "Ah, I saw Brother in the palace." "How were you able to see me?" "It's a secret." "What?" "As I'm not to speak of the greenhouse trees, please don't ask me anymore." "Yeom, it looks like you could learn a lesson from her." "It looks that way." "I was worried over having you enter the palace, but it seems it was an unnecessary worry." "I feel that compared to any maiden in this world, my daughter is the most kind-hearted and wise." "To me as well," "Father, you are the best!" "This is really..." "There's no room for anyone to get between father and daughter." "I'm so sad, how shall I keep on living?" "Yeom." "As for your mother, I feel that compared to any scholar in the world, my son is the wisest and most handsome." "Yes, Mother." "I think that my mother is the best as well." "Seol." "It's me." "I am so sorry, Miss." "I didn't realize..." "Where did you get that wooden sword?" "Oh, I just... made it little by little whenever I was free." "But what brings you here, Miss?" "Oh..." "The truth is..." "I have something to ask you about." "What is it?" "There is someone who received a letter from someone else." "But she doesn't quite understand what it means." "What was written in it?" "Because of you, I was unable to sleep." "I'm sending someone over." "Let's meet then." "So, it's a threat letter, saying there will be a fight soon." "But, did the person they sent over find who he was looking for?" "Ah, he did go looking, but the person said it was a mistake and avoided..." "What a fool!" "He just made matters worse!" "In a situation like that, one needs to face it head on!" "Do you think there will be repercussions?" "That goes without saying!" "Avoiding a challenge like a coward and lying even?" "That's the worst situation!" "Sounds like there's going to be some major bloodshed soon." "Do you think I'm trying to scare you?" "Aren't you?" "Well..." "What do you think?" "If I were to answer that I don't think so, will you send someone again?" "If I do," "Will you come to meet me?" "Will you come to meet me?" "I do want to meet you at least once." "Will you... send someone again?" "Are you enjoying your time with your companions?" "Yes." "I like this girl especially." "Father, it's Bo Kyung." "Come in." "You were looking for me?" "In the palace today." "Did you do anything inappropriate?" "I didn't." "There was absolutely nothing like that." "Then, why were you not able to get in favor with the Princess?" "What are you crying for?" "!" "It's because I am not Scholar Heo's sister." "What?" "The Princess has an affection for Scholar Heo." "And so, of course his sister, Yeon Woo, would win her favor." "And it's not only the Princess." "Someone in the royal "Lee" family sent a letter to the girl as well." "There is no one in the palace on my side." "They are all on her side." "So how can I win anyone's favor?" "Just now..." "What did you say?" "Excuse me?" "Did you not just say that someone in the royal family sent her a letter?" "I am not sure about it..." "But since the surname was "Lee"..." "The name of that royal family member, what was it?" "Lee Hwon." "On the letter, it clearly said "Lee Hwon."" "A letter, you say?" "Our Crown Prince is already is already at the age for love." "The Crown Prince spends all his days in the palace." "How did he even know that child to send her a letter?" "Her brother is part of the Sigangweon*, is he not?" "(*Office in charge in educating the Crown Prince)" "That man, Heo Young Jae... our relationship with him is ill-fated in so many ways." "From what I see, she seems to be a very clever child." "There is no need to worry." "Even if the Crown Prince already has her in his heart, what problem could it pose?" "Can a royal wedding happen merely out of love?" "I don't mention it merely because of the Crown Prince's feelings." "The way that His Majesty, the King, looked upon the child was also special." "To summon both that man's son and daughter into the palace..." "What do you think his intentions could be?" "To restrain the maternal side of the family." "We must hasten a royal wedding." "Royal wedding, you say..." "If we just wait and put our faith in the High Shaman's words, we cannot know when we will see a new master of the Queen's quarters." "If the heavens have already determined what shall be, it is up to the people now to make it so." "Do all we can and only then, leave the rest to the heavens." "That is a very good saying indeed." "You move the Ministers." "And I shall move the ranking women of the court." "I shall do as you say, Your Highness." "Nanny, please tidy up my hair." "You have already spent too much time on your appearance." "If you are any later, it will be awkward." "Don't worry." "My father said that he would explain it well." "It's done, Miss." "Come and meet me here when it's time to leave the palace." "Yes." "Let's go." "Father." "I... want to live in the palace." "Please make it so I can live in the palace." "I am here from the East Palace." "The Crown Prince... quietly... wants to meet you." "For Your Highness the gallant posture of your turned back is particularly attractive." "You could stand with your back to the door, and then as you slowly turn around, if you were to break out that deadly smile, you could capture the heart of any girl." "I finally am able to meet you." "It is so." "You must know already but I am not an attendant." "But this nation, Joseon's Crown Prince." "Although I don't know the reason." "After that day," "I could not forget your face." "When I heard the news that you had entered the palace as a companion of the Princess," "I felt I had to meet you again, even if it was like this." "You are really an unfeeling girl." "It was so difficult to meet and yet, you won't even let me look upon your face." "Who are you?" "Excuse me?" "I am asking who are you and why you came here." "I am the Personnel Minister Yoon Dae Hyung's daughter," "Yoon Bo Kyung." "You sent an East Palace attendant, so I just..." "I am sorry." "Excuse me?" "There's been a misunderstanding." "Your Highness." "What do you think?" "The longevity bracelet that I made is prettier, right?" "Yes." "The longevity bracelet that you made is much prettier." "Ask me who I am going to give this to." "Who are you going to give it to?" "Scholar Heo." "Excuse me?" "And, to whom are you going to give the one you made?" "I, too, was making it for my brother." "You can't!" "I will give mine to your brother." "You can give yours to my brother." "Then wouldn't that be fair?" "The Cr..." "The Crown Prince?" "How could I dare?" "I'll deliver it so give it to me." "I'm going to make it again." "This one is really too poorly made." "If you wish." "Hello." "Try wearing it." "When I heard the news that you had entered the palace as a companion of the Princess," "I felt I had to meet you again, even if it was like this." "What?" "The Crown Prince and the Personnel Minister's daughter?" "Are you sure that it was the Personnel Minister's daughter?" "And not the Chief Scholar's daughter?" "I saw them coming out of the Eunweol Pavilion with my own eyes." "Really?" "It doesn't look like they had just a common relationship." "Then, could it be that they knew each other before she entered the palace?" "If she's the Personnel Minister's daughter, then she's a relative of the Queen Mother." "The Queen Mother may have made a liaison between the two." "What did you say just now?" "You had better truthfully tell me everything you know." "Do you call that an excuse?" "!" "I really feel this is unfair." "When I asked her, she clearly stated with her own mouth that she wasn't Scholar Heo's sister." "Why would that child be telling such a lie?" "If you have to ask me such a question, you put me in a difficult position." "There is no reason for that girl to be avoiding me." "If you insist on asking, then..." "[Brain Chart]" "What's that thing?" "I drew a picture of the thoughts in Miss Yeon Woo's head." "The thoughts in her head?" "Yes." "First, Miss Yeon Woo's brother, namely Scholar Heo." "He occupies at least 70% of her thoughts." "As much as 70%" "Yes." "Miss Yeon Woo has grown up under the same roof with a genius like Scholar Heo, a man with unsurpassed beauty." "Therefore, an average boy will not garner any attention." "Furthermore, the classmates who studied with Scholar Heo," "Prince Yang Myung and Kim Jae Woon, have significant appeal themselves." "The magnanimous and delightfully charming" "Prince Yang Myung takes up 20%." "The cold palace man and picturesque figure, Kim Jae Woon takes up 10%." "Cold palace man?" "It's the shortening "the stone cold man from within the palace"." "This is the nickname given to him by the court ladies." "But then..." "What's that small dot that's over there?" "This is you, Your Highness." "What are you saying?" "!" "That my existence to Miss Yeon Woo is as tiny as that eye crust sized dot?" "!" "That..." "That..." "There is a reason for that as well." "First, from a geographical standpoint, you and she have been separated by a very long distance." "Then, she mistook you for a thief when you first met." "And you yourself told her you were an attendant." "And so, the lady's first impression of you is that you're a thief and an attendant, an attendant and a thief, nothing less, nothing more." "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut your mouth up!" "I can't stand looking at you." "So, stand with your face turned for the time being." "Your Highness, it is Sang Sun." "Come in." "Your Highness." "His Majesty, the King has requested your presence." "His Majesty?" "What are you guards doing in the East Palace?" "We are under the royal orders." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Are the rumors true?" "Is it true that you met the Personnel Minister's daughter privately?" "It is true that we met, but it was a mistake." "No, a misunderstanding..." "Are you trying to make excuses?" "!" "I know well... that there is no leeway for excuses." "But please let me clear up one misunderstanding." "What in the world are you referring to as a misunderstanding?" "Please forgive me, but there is already a girl I have in my heart." "What?" "When I heard that she entered the palace as a companion to the Princess, it is true that I wanted to meet with her in secret." "But it is not the Personnel Minister's daughter." "The girl that is in my heart is the daughter of the Chief Scholar from the Office of Special Advisors." "There is a girl I have in my heart." "She is the daughter of the Chief Scholar from the Office of Special Advisors, the maiden named Heo Yeon Woo." "Although I cannot explain the situation in detail, my heart is already with..." "I shall act like I didn't hear those words from you just now." "But, Your Majesty!" "Have you forgotten that you are this nation's Crown Prince?" "!" "Because of your reckless behavior, that child could become a sacrifice in a political war." "How could that thought not occur to you?" "!" "I will let it pass quietly this time." "Please don't disappoint me a second time." "Do you understand?" "I'll bear it in mind." "The Ceremonial Committee will be set up shortly." "Ceremonial Committee oversees court ceremonies as Royal Wedding, throne ascension." "Know this and leave now." "Bo Kyung." "Will it be all right for you to ride in the palanquin?" "I heard you had suffered severely due to motion sickness." "What does that have to do with you..." "Ah, that..." "Thank you for your concern, but actually, I wasn't late because I had motion sickness." "Then why?" "This is a secret." "At Eunweol Pavilion earlier," "I met with the Crown Prince." "He says that he has been watching me from afar." "He said he had to meet me at least once even if it was like that." "You have to keep this secret." "Recently, the Queen Mother has given earnest orders to welcome a Crown Princess for the Crown Prince." "The Crown Prince is already fifteen years old this year." "So, naturally, we plan to hold a Crown Princess selection." "Please speak your opinion." "I feel that what your Highness makes a reasonable argument." "That is what this subject thinks as well." "We should hasten a royal wedding and ensure an heir to the throne." "Rites Minister, please listen." "From Hanyang to the rural districts, all unmarried girls from the age of twelve to sixteen are to be prohibited from marrying and must submit their names to the maiden roster." "I shall carry out as instructed." "And also, we will be having a Narye ceremony this evening," "Narye - a lunar new year ritual to chase away demons." "so Officers and Ministers, please attend and enjoy yourselves." "Yes, Your Highness." "Your Highness." "The banquet is starting soon." "You must hurry and get dressed." "Hyung Sun." "Yes, Your Highness." "What kind of a flower is this?" "I will take a moment to look." "This is not a flower." "It's a lettuce." "Lettuce?" "Yes." "Lettuce." "Why did she gave me a lettuce?" "Now..." "I will never be able to hear that answer." "Throw it away." "What?" "Because of your reckless behavior, that child could become a sacrifice in a political war." "How could that thought not occur to you?" "!" "Shortly, we will be going to the palace for the ceremony." "Although we have the approval of the Queen Mother, we still need to move cautiously so as not to attract attention." "So we have to be really careful." "Yes, High Shaman." "But whose spirit are we comforting in this ritual tonight?" "It's for the mother of Prince Ui Seong." "Ever since a few years ago, people say they hear a phantom crying in the room she used to sleep in." "And so, every lunar new year's eve, by order of the Queen Mother, we perform a dead spirit comforting ritual." "[Peace]" "Please run away." "This is not a destiny you can handle." "Do not make the ties any stronger." "Right now is your only chance to avoid it." "Do not make the ties any stronger." "Right now is your only chance to avoid it." "While you can avoid it, as much as you can avoid it, you must run away." "Do you... recognize me?" "Please say who it is that I am." "This nation, Joseon's..." "Crown Prince," "Lee Hwon." "Did you tell me to forget you?" "Did you want me to forget you?" "I'm sorry." "Although I tried to forget," "I could not forget you."

"What sort of outrageous nonsense is that?" "It is the selection of this country's future Queen." "Please allow the selection process to be just and legitimate." "Please pass override Queen Mother's action." "Do you share the Crown Prince's feelings?" "Are you going somewhere?" "Will you come with me?" "That child, Heo Yeon Woo." "Kill her!" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "[This drama is set during the Joseon Era under the rule of a fictitious king.]" "[All characters and events are fictitious and have no historic basis.]" "Episode 4" "Your name, Yeon Woo... does it mean a gentle rain?" "Yes." "It is those Chinese characters." "Then, I suppose it could also mean a misty rain, then." "That's a pretty name." "Forgive me, but... may I ask the meaning of your birth name, Your Highness?" "[Hui = Birth name of royalty that may not be used indiscriminately]" "It is a name His Majesty gave me in hopes that I would become like the Sun." "Lee Hwon." "But, why have you been avoiding me?" "Was it... because you dislike me?" "No!" "So, you don't dislike me." "Then, why make me risk this sort of danger?" "Whoa there!" "Disloyalty, disloyalty." "I'm not the one you hold in your heart." "What do you mean?" "I've heard that recently in this same spot, you met the Personnel Minister's daughter in secret." "That was purely because of you." "If you hadn't lied, there would have been no reason for me to mistake her for you." "Mistake?" "Then..." "You don't even think of your disloyalty in fooling the Crown Prince." "You just blame..." "Wait a minute." "Could it possibly be that you..." "Yes?" "Were you jealous of us?" "Excuse me?" "N- no." "This, this is a big problem." "A woman's jealousy is one of the seven valid reasons to divorce a wife." "And, to think the girl who's going to be my queen is so jealous." "I said it wasn't so, why do you keep..." "Excuse me?" "Soon, a ban on weddings will be issued." "That means a Crown Princess will be selected soon." "You will put your name on the maiden list too, won't you?" "I will be waiting." "Knowing you, I'm certain you can become the Crown Princess." "You told me to throw it away, but I knew you would look for it again." "I did well not to throw it away, didn't I?" "Hyung Sun." "Yes, Your Highness?" "You don't know the reason the maiden Yeon Woo sent me lettuce, do you?" "Wouldn't it be to symbolize waiting and to relay the hearts of the people?" "Your Highness waited and waited to see what would grow out of the pot." "However, no matter how long that wait felt, how could it compare to the feelings of the farmers waiting to harvest rice?" "Furthermore, lettuce is a vegetable used as medicine." "If one takes lettuce, one may temporarily feel sleepy, but later, the head clears and not only does it make one wiser, but it also breaks up the anger stacked up in one's chest." "And because recently, Your Majesty harbored resentment towards Scholar Heo, don't you think an entreaty to let go of that anger and focus on your studies could have been part of Miss Yeon Woo's profound thoughts?" "H- how is it that you..." "The maiden Yeon Woo told me alone." "This is already the 14th time you've talked about that lettuce." "Unless my head is a block of stone, how could I forget?" "I told you?" "Yes." "When?" "After you met at Eunweol Pavilion at the Narye ceremony and spoke of the lettuce, every time you see me, every time you have a free moment, constantly..." "Then, you must have also marveled at maiden Yeon Woo's wisdom." "At first, I marveled and it even made me shiver..." "But, even the most beautiful song, if you hear it too much..." "Wait and see." "The girl will definitely become a benevolent queen adored by all the people." "A ban on weddings!" "We will end our lesson here today." "Has the maiden Yeon Woo been put on the maiden list?" "Not yet." "Is there possibly some problem?" "Crown Prince." "I pray you would listen to your subject's small entreaty." "What do you mean entreaty." "As one of Joseons people," "I know that putting her name on the maiden list is the proper thing to do, but won't you please, please exclude my sister?" "I kneel and beg of you." "An upright man of integrity like you, what is the reason you would make such an entreaty?" "The Crown Prince is asking his subject!" "Answer the question." "Because she cannot be with Your Highness." "What do you mean the maiden Yeon Woo cannot be with me?" "What sort of outrageous nonsense is this?" "I will pay for my crime of disloyalty today in the future." " However, please..." " So you're saying... you intend to break the royal law and be a rebellious subject?" "Your Highness." "I cannot do that!" "I cannot accept your entreaty." "The first reason is that I don't want to lose you." "The second reason is that I..." "I... it's your sister..." "I think I'm in love." "Your Highness, Your Highness..." "It's not so." "The person His Highness has affection for is absolutely not Scholar Heo." "Do not misunderstand." "It is not you, Scholar Heo." "Though I cannot tell you who it is, just know that it is a female person that looks just like you." "Highness." "Your Highness..." "Your Highness." "What are you going to do about this atmosphere?" "If you were going to profess your feelings, you should be clear about who..." "Quiet!" "I haven't even professed my feelings to her yet." "How can I tell someone else first?" "Then, you should not have even mentioned it." "Disappointment, disappointment, supreme disappointment!" "None other than Scholar Heo!" "How could he make such an entreaty to me?" "Do you really have no idea why?" "I suppose he doesn't find me suitable for his sister." "Forgive me, but..." "I believe that is likely not what Scholar Heo is thinking." "Then, what is he thinking?" "The person to be selected has already been designated anyway." "The Personnel Minister's daughter has already been unofficially chosen." "What's the point of putting her on the maiden list?" "What good could possibly come out of it?" "What are you doing?" "What if our Yeon Woo is selected as a third stage final candidate?" "Please give it to me." "Maidens not chosen in the third stage are forever the Crown Prince's women, and they must live forever alone, do you not know that?" "Wife!" "Our Yeon Woo... are you saying you'd be fine with it if we, with our own hands, make her end up living alone forever as if she were in mourning, my lord?" "Then, as righteous loyal subjects, we should break the law?" "How can you be so inflexible?" "You can entreat His Majesty to keep Yeon Woo's name off the list!" "Absolutely not." "It's not enough that it's disloyal, but what you're saying is also unethical." "Then, are you saying we just sit back and watch helplessly?" "!" "And therefore, Scholar Heo likely made his entreaty because of his love and concern for his sister." "Then, the maidens that are not chosen cannot enter the palace?" "Occasionally they are pitied and brought in as royal concubines." "Was Yang Myung Hyungnim's mother also possibly..." "That is so." "Consort Park was a final candidate that was ultimately not selected, and His Majesty felt pity for her and brought her into the Palace." "However, most maidens are just forgotten." "Your Highness?" "It's the Queen Mother." "Excuse me?" "The elder supervising the Ceremonial Committee is the Queen Mother." "What better opportunity is there to increase the power of her side of the family?" "I'm certain the predesignated choice is..." "I am the Personnel Minister Yoon Dae Hyung's daughter," "Yoon Bo Kyung." "Your Highness." "Your Highness, where are you going?" "Your Highness." "Your Majesty, His Highness, the Crown Prince is here to see you." "[King Seong Jo]" "Your Majesty." "I have something to say." "Please excuse us." "What is it you have to say?" "Your Majesty." "Please do away with the unofficially predesignated Crown Princess." "Is the Crown Prince having an audience with His Majesty, the King?" "Yes, that is so." "Do you feel they will be long?" "There has been an order not to let anyone in for the time being." "The elder supervising the Ceremonial Committee is not me, but the Queen Mother." "Then, please issue a decree so that the selection is just and follows a strict criteria." "That is also outside of my authority." "That type of request should be made to the Queen Mother." "Please overstep the Queen Mother's authority." "Being King doesn't give one blanket right to overstep anyone's authority." "Even more so, it doesn't give the right to overstep filial propriety." "I understand it is not without precedent that a King oversees the selection process." "I will not be making any personal intervention for the sake of your romantic feelings." "I am not entreating you purely because of my feelings." "If it's not because of your feelings, then what?" "This is to be the Crown Princess." "It is the selection of this country's future Queen." "Isn't it only right that the most suitable person for that position is selected?" "A fellow that knows such a thing behaved so rashly?" "!" "It's a marriage hastened to block any sort of rumored scandal about you." "You can't think of your own mistake that put us in this situation." "Who are you expecting to make this right?" "!" "If I were to put everything back in proper order," "will you degree a just and fair selection?" "Immediately send a page to look into the Sungkyunkwan student council" "[Sungkyunkwan:" "Royal Academy that prepares future government officials] and find out who the head of the student council is." "Excuse me?" "Why the head of the Sungkyunkwan student council?" "Tell him this is strictly confidential, so if he speaks recklessly," "I cannot safeguard his life." "That goes for you too, Hyung Sun." "Do you understand?" "Yes, I shall carry out your command." "What do you mean "promise"?" "What are you saying that I promised you?" "You said that after His Highness the Crown Prince's ceremony, you would arrange a ceremony between the Chief Scholar's daughter and myself." "If that's what you are talking about, I made no such promise." "But, you certainly..." "I said I would think about it." "I never promised to make it happen." "If you have finished what you've come to say, you may leave now." "Is the reason you've suddenly changed your feelings that the Crown Prince has perhaps made an entreaty?" "Did the Crown Prince indeed make the same entreaty as I?" "Just as in general, there are men who are meant to be kings and those meant to be subjects, it is the same for women." "Some are meant to be queens and others are meant to be the princess consorts*." "(*wives of princes not meant to be king)" "The Chief Scholar's daughter, then, are you saying she's meant to be Queen?" "If that child is chosen, I suppose so." "If she is not chosen in the process, then will you give me permission?" "The maidens not chosen in the final stage are the Crown Prince's women." "Have you forgotten that is the law?" "!" "Then, are you ordering me to just sit and watch as the girl I love falls into misery?" "What?" "The Personnel Minister's daughter... there isn't a soul who doesn't know she's been predesignated as the Crown Princess." "How can you order me to just sit and watch?" "Do I have to enforce the law to shut that mouth of yours?" "!" "Don't ever utter those words again." "If you ever show such disloyalty again, it will be considered... treason." "Do not laugh like that." "Everything I've sought and everyone I've wanted have been placed in your hands much too easily, Crown Prince." "Please, take away that innocent smile you send my way." "So that I may hate Your Highness to my heart's content, please." "And if you cannot even permit me that, please put this cold rough wind blowing in my heart to rest." "Your Majesty." "Let's go to the Princess' quarters." "It's been a while and I'd like to hear her laughter." "Forgive me." "My mind was elsewhere and I..." "It's a longevity bracelet I made for you." "Please accept it." "I am honored." "But, for what reason have you approached me?" "Reason?" "Ah, is Yeon Woo well?" "That's my reason." "Yes, she is well." "But, do you have a wife?" "I am still unmarried." "Wow!" "Then, what about a betrothed?" "Do you have a betrothed maiden?" "I do not yet." "Wow wow wow!" "These days," "I'm reading the Book of the Virtuous Woman." "Excuse me?" "What the Crown Prince said the other day, that I don't know the 1000 Chinese Character primer is not true." "Oh, right right right!" "The riddle you presented," "I got the answer to that too!" "If you close your eyes like this, the entire world becomes dark, and if you open your..." "Look at me, will you?" "Huh?" "Look." "If you close your eyes like this, the entire world becomes dark, and if you open your eyes like this, the entire world... becomes bri..." "Wow." "So pretty." "Your Majesty!" "It's our Princess!" "I am no longer a child." "What?" "As a coincidence, I had something to discuss with Your Majesty." "Please come into my chambers." "What could our little Princess have to say to me?" "Did you just ask to be wed to Scholar Heo?" "!" "Yes." "Since the Crown Prince will be having his wedding ceremony soon," "I also..." "You cannot." "Excuse me?" "Why not?" "That young man is a rare man of talent that will become a future pillar of our country." "Then, isn't he plenty qualified to wed a princess?" "You are still young and might not understand, but once a man marries a princess, he cannot serve an office in government." "Not only that, he cannot hope to engage in or propose any political activity." "And so?" "Therefore, a rare man of talent cannot be trapped as a princess' husband." "Excuse me?" "Th-then, I... can only marry an ugly, foolish, duncelike fellow?" "That is not what I meant." "I'm just saying it can't be Scholar Heo." "He is a man that will advise the future King and help lead our country in the future." "I don't like that." "All the men of excellence go to others, while the Princess marries an ugly dunce, what's the meaning of that?" "!" "Not a dunce." "I will marry you to a good man." "I don't want that." "If it's not him, I don't want to!" "Didn't I say you cannot?" "!" "Min Hwa." "If a man like that marries a Princess, he will become miserable." "If he is bridled with that position, his talents are tied down, and his wings are clipped, what could be sadder than that?" "Forget Scholar Heo." "I don't want to!" "Your swordsmanship is impressive." "I'm sorry, young master." "I told you it was all right, didn't I?" "But, what brings you here?" "Ah." "Actually, I came to ask you something." "First, look me in the face, please." "Excuse me?" "How could a lowly person like me look at your face?" "It's all right, so please look at me." "If there was a girl that looked just like me, who could it be?" "Miss Yeon Woo." "Indeed." "But he wouldn't have had a chance to meet her." "When, where?" "How could they have met?" "The day of the ceremony where you received your exam honors," "I happened to meet him in the palace..." "Do you also share the Crown Prince's feelings?" "Do you feel the same way?" "I know very well what you are worried about, Brother." " However..." " Do you know that... there is already a predesignated choice for the Crown Prince?" "I do know." "Fake an illness." "Fake an illness and avoid the selection process." "Do you remember when I taught you how to play baduk (go), the critical points to keep in mind?" ""Pi Gang Ja Bo"" "When the opposition is strong, first make a plan to secure your safety." " Brother." " If, by any chance, they find out about your relationship with the Crown Prince, you will be in danger." "Yeon Woo, you could become a sacrifice of war." "I cannot." "Yeon Woo." ""Il Su Bul Tweh"" "A piece that has been placed cannot be taken back or moved." "I'm certain you taught me that, right?" "A person's heart is the same." "A heart that has been placed cannot easily be moved, so whatever the results of the selection process may be, I... cannot trick the Crown Prince like that." "Why on earth are you having me dress like a palace attendant?" "So bristly!" "Show your manners in front of His Highness." "[Head of student council at Sungkyunkwan]" "Ah, yes." "Are you the current head of the student council at Sungkyunkwan, Hong Gyu Tae?" "Yes, I am." "How is it that you've given audience to such a simple fellow?" "When I was crowned, I was also admitted into Sungkyunkwan." "Therefore, even though we do not take our lessons together," "I am also like you, a Sungkyunkwan student, and have always been proud of that." "Your grace is immense." "However, these days, I am ashamed of my admission into Sungkyunkwan." "Excuse me?" "When one treads the path of learning, one's actions reflect the morality and ethics learned." "And, when the King deviates from the path of righteousness, it is the subjects' duty to lead him back to the right path." "How can those at Sungkyunkwan just sit and observe the current state of affairs?" "I don't know if this lacking subject is misunderstanding your words, but... could you possibly be referring to the upcoming Crown Princess selection?" "Answer me with your own mouth as the King's subject, can the selection of the Crown Princess be used as an instrument by one clan" "to retain power?" "[Queen Mother Yoon]" "We must take precautions for the possibilities, you say?" "Yes, we must." "[Personnel Minister Yoon Dae Hyung]" "As long as His Majesty, the King and the Crown Prince favor Heo Yeong Jae's daughter, we cannot be completely at ease." "Don't worry." "I am heading the selection process." "Is there only the one Crown Princess who has a place next to the Crown Prince?" "If he were to bring that child into the palace as a concubine..." "That wouldn't be good." "That's not all." "If, by any chance, she were to conceive first..." "Indeed, that wouldn't be good." "What you say is right." "It wouldn't be a bad idea to take precautions for the possibilities." "But, a plan?" "It's not an easy task." "Aren't you the person that eliminated a "Sun"?" "You don't think you could eliminate a "Moon"?" "Furthermore, the High Shaman of Seongsucheong is one of your people." "What problem could there be?" "Throughout history, when the maternal clan of the royal family takes over, you know very well the pathetic state the country falls into." "There are payoff deals for government appointments." "And the line of supporters of the maternal clan is increasing." "Those who have bought their positions are engaging in countless abuses of power." "So, how is it that the Sungkyunkwan students who receive government salaries, can just stand idle like this?" "!" "The Sungkyunkwan procession with petitions for appeal." "Petitions for appeal!" "The Sungkyunkwan procession with petitions for appeal." "Petitions for appeal!" "A Crown Prince that instigates a student protest movement..." "It appears the future of this country, Joseon... will be quite interesting." "All things have their proper places." "I feel that is genuine government." "All things and all people... must be enabled to take their proper place" "That is what I, as future monarch, believe my duty to be." "And that should begin with the selection of the Crown Princess, don't you think?" "Is that your conviction of what is right?" "It is." "Then, show me." "Attempt to convince me." "That is... politics." "So, you intend to mobilize Sungkyunkwan to manipulate public opinion." "Impressive, Crown Prince." "Please send down a response to our appeal, Your Majesty!" "Please send down a response to our appeal, Your Majesty!" "Please issue a decree for a just and impartial Crown Princess selection..." " that defies external pressures!" " Please issue a decree!" "Aigoo!" "Aigoo!" "Aigoo!" "Aigoo!" "Aigoo!" "Aigoo!" "A wailing protest, what is the meaning of this?" "!" "What sort of an outrage is this with the selection almost upon us?" "!" "It's already been 5 days, Your Majesty." "You must send down a response." "That is so, Your Majesty." "Whether the Sungkyunkwan students' appeal is right or wrong, it is customary for the King to send down a positive or negative response." "This is utterly unjust, Your Majesty." "Since olden times, the selection has been under the jurisdiction of the ranking court ladies." "Do not give your ear to their impudent words." "This subject thinks the same, Your Majesty." "To wail and lament... in the face of an upcoming happy national event is a travesty of loyalty!" "Eradicate the leaders of the protest and punish them!" "Punish them!" "Their actions stem from concern for their country with no self-interest;" "how can we fault them for that?" "Also, if we suppress their spirit and block their admonitions, then, who in the future would muster the courage to criticize the government?" "Regardless of the era, consulting the public is the way to obtain the consenting hearts of the people." "Where there is public consultation, even the lower class cannot be treated lightly." "And where there is no public consultation, even the words of the highest officials have no weight." "The Three Offices have reviewed their petitions." "We feel that it would be appropriate... to consider public opinion and issue a sincere response." "However, Your Majesty!" "Royal secretaries, listen." "Please give your instructions." "I will respond to the students' appeal, so draft it as follows." "I trust in your devoted loyalty and will reflect your will in the policies of the state." "Regarding this upcoming Crown Princess selection," "I will break with the customary jurisdiction of the ranking court ladies," "and will directly oversee the decision." "Moreover, I and 3 members each from the royal family, the Three Offices, and the State Council will participate in the selection of the Crown Princess." "I pledge the selection will be just and impartial." "In addition, the selection process will be held in the King's quarters, not the Queen's." "Furthermore, to avoid extravagance and financial burden on the people, we shall employ a two-stage rather than a three-stage selection process." "A royal marriage is an institution... that carries on the royal family and the spirit of a nation." "How can you be inclined to listen to the slander made by foolish immature students." "How can you refer to the students' earnest admonitions as slander." "Earnest?" "Admonitions?" "A predesignation is part of the selection process." "If that is illegitimate, then the royal family itself holds no legitimacy." "Queen Mother." "The maiden was designated after repeated consideration and deliberation." "I'm saying she wasn't chosen because of her bloodline." "Do you understand?" "!" "Then there should be no problem if we merely change the selection process, isn't that so?" "What?" "If the maiden is so well-qualified, then even if she is not predesignated, wouldn't she be selected?" "Then, are you saying you are determined to defy me?" "The hearts of the people and public opinion are speaking as one right now." "It is something I can no longer ignore." "A monarch may not have a duty to be loyal, but he has a filial duty." "How can a nation's monarch consider only those of his bloodline as his parents?" "If a King is the father of his people, then the people are also his parents." "Your Majesty!" "Queen Mother." "Who is it that protected your throne from the traitors that threatened it?" "You haven't forgotten what my clan and I have done for you, have you?" "I have not forgotten." "How could I have possibly forgotten?" "For the sake of power and the advancement of the clan, the horrific events you and Yoon Dae Hyung orchestrated, the falsely accused and slaughtered Prince Ui Seong." "If you knew about it, then even more so, you cannot be doing this to me." "I made it so that not a drop of blood touched your hand;" "you cannot forget how I've served you!" "Why do you think I've been silent for this long?" "!" "I couldn't exonerate Prince Ui Seong even when I later found out the truth..." "For whom do you think I kept quiet?" "!" "I have fulfilled my filial duty in keeping silent for 13 years." "No." "Do not desire anything more." "The Crown Princess selection will be executed justly and impartially as decreed." "Is someone out there?" "Please escort the Queen Mother." "Majesty." "Majesty, you cannot do this to me." "Wait and see." "I am not one to back down now." "No, no." "That's too genteel." "Make your gestures bigger and plop down." "You have to make a noise when you sit." "Like this?" "Yes." "That's enough of that." "If noodles are served, make sure you make noise and slurp them up." "It would be even better if you spill here and there, making a mess." "Ah!" "And tell them your hobby is reading." "Say you've avoided things like embroidery and needlework altogether." "That much is true so it won't be hard to answer." "If they possibly ask you how much literature you've mastered, without fail, right or wrong, tell them you already mastered the Four Books and Three Classics of ancient China at age three." "And what else was there?" "Mother." "What is it?" "Do you think if I do those things, I will be rejected in the first stage selection?" "Huh?" "What are you saying?" "I was just anticipating the questions they would ask..." "You figured out what I was doing?" "It would be strange if I didn't notice." "Don't do this, Mother." "Whatever the result may be," "I want to be a daughter that Father can be proud of." "So, please just watch over me." "I will be waiting." "Knowing you, I'm certain you can become the Crown Princess." "What are you doing here again at this late..." "Are you going somewhere?" "I've already had a relapse of my wandering habits." "I thought I'd come by and have a look at your face before I left." "What a homely face." "Now that I've had a good look, that's enough." "I'm going." "Will you be returning?" "Why?" "Are you worried I won't return?" "Because you cut off communications for a while when you're gone, everyone worries." "You should send your kin news occasionally during your travels..." "Will you come with me?" "They say the Crown Princess has been predesignated, and ultimately the Personnel Minister's daughter will become the Crown Princess." "You can only end up becoming a concubine, or... prohibited from marrying, live forever alone." "If you want to run away from these troubling circumstances, if that's the case," "I can throw away my princehood, the title of Prince Yang Myung, all of it, wrap you up in a parcel and run away with you." "You go too far with your jesting." "Right." "I went too far, didn't I?" "You're certain you won't regret the path you choose, right?" "Yes." "Then don't be so troubled." "Knowing you, I'm certain you will do well." "Take out that Personnel Minister's daughter with one blow." "Understand?" "Since you were not at your residence," "I thought I would be able to find you here." "I heard that the first stage selection has been made." "Why didn't you make an entreaty to the King?" "One day, a man named Geung Ja sought out Confucius and said," ""Master, won't you praise me?"" ""My father beat me for no particular reason today,"" ""and I just bore it, staying still. "" ""Wasn't that commendable?"" "Then, do you know what Confucius said?" ""You fool. "" ""If you were to die, your father would have become a murderer of his own son. "" ""What a huge travesty of filial devotion that would be. "" ""When your father beats you without a reason,"" ""you must run away. "" "And so, you're going to leave?" "The tree just wanted to stand still." "But the wind keeps blowing, so what is there to do?" "The best plan is to avoid it before bending or breaking." "Or, is it the worst plan?" "But, that moon... it will probably follow wherever I go, right?" "[10 Days later" " Second Stage Selection]" "Being chosen in the first stage and reaching this final stage, you've gone through much difficulty." "I see you are all too nervous." "The palace is indeed a place where people live, so don't be too frightened." "Since Your Majesty is participating directly like this, isn't it natural that they'd be frightened?" "Today, I have some thing I am curious about and would like to ask you." "I am this country's King." "If you were to calculate my worth in money, how much would it be?" "Will you answer first, daughter of Choi Sang Jin?" "Excuse me?" "One million, no ten million *nyang (*old Korean coin)... please be understanding." "I am ignorant in the matters of money," "I don't really know well how much makes a large amount of money." "Then, will you answer next, daughter of Yoon Dae Hyung?" "Your Majesty's virtues, which are higher than the mountains and wider than the seas... how could one dare to count in money and calculate in silver?" "I dare entreat you, when there exists a tool... to measure the weight of the heavens and the depth of the ocean, please ask me once again." "Now then, will the daughter of Heo Young Jae answer the question?" "I will dare answer because you ask... it is one nyang." "A miss!" "A miss!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "What happened?" "Ay!" "I'm asking you what happened." "That..." "To the people that are starving and dressed in rags, there is nothing more earnestly valued than one nyang." "A wealthy man who has ten thousand nyang... doesn't know how precious one nyang is, but a poor man who has nothing... knows piercingly well how precious one nyang is." "To the poor," "Your Majesty is as acutely precious as one nyang." "Please, I pray you govern all of the people with impartiality." "What do you think, my Queen?" "Isn't she quite a lovely daughter-in-law?" "She is quite so." "It is a blessing to the country." "Early on, I was happy in knowing I had gained good men in your father and brother." "But, now I see he had a wise and beautiful daughter that is to become a blessing to the country." "Won't you provide the Crown Princess with some words of advice?" "What could an old woman have to say in addition?" "Please serve the Crown Prince with devotion and reverence." "I will continue to take it to heart." "Your Highness, please won't you take one bite?" "You will get sick." "Didn't I tell you I don't need it?" "Why are you being like this?" "The royal family is terribly worried about you." "And since you were absent from the meeting with the Crown Princess..." "Crown Princess?" "What does that have to do with me?" "Didn't you like that maiden?" "That..." "That was when I thought she would be my husband's sister." "Excuse me?" "Why is it that she can... and I cannot?" "Take that table away!" "I'm going to starve to death!" "What is the matter?" "Now then." "Don't cry and tell me." "Queen, please entreat His Majesty." "I will die if I can't be with him!" "What sort of nonsense is this to say to your mother?" "Didn't I tell you never to speak of that again?" "I don't like that!" "And, I don't like His Majesty, Brother, Yeon Woo, none of them!" "And I don't like you either!" "Princess." "Princess!" "Queen Mother!" "Please entreat His Majesty." "Tell him to make Scholar Heo my husband!" "What in the world is this?" "Please entreat him!" "Forgive me, Your Highness." "Queen Mother!" "What are you doing just standing there?" " Take the Princess." " Please entreat him!" " Please entreat him, please!" " Your Highness, please..." "Queen Mother." "Queen Mother!" "Queen Mother!" "Please entreat him!" "Queen Mother!" "Entreat him, please!" "Queen Mother!" "High Shaman." "What is it?" "You have been summoned to see the Queen Mother in secret this evening." "The Eunweol Pavillion will be where you will stay until the wedding." "It is customary to stay at a location between the palace and your private home before the wedding, but His Majesty has designated Eunweol Pavilion particularly for you." "It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the palace." "Yes." "It is as beautiful as it's name." "(Chinese characters for Eunweol = Hidden Moon)." "Please speak without honorifics." "Excuse me?" "A- all right." "Tomorrow, you will begin learning what is expected of you in the upcoming ceremony." "So, you should sleep early this evening." "And also..." "What is the handkerchief for?" "You will be needing it." "We will step outside now." "Please rest comfortably." "Mother." "So, this is why she said I would be needing it." "Were you, perhaps, weeping, thinking of the family you left" "If that is so, open your window." "Your Highness!" "Are you surprised?" "You are prohibited from being here." "What are you doing here?" "I bribed the palace ladies." "Wait a moment!" "Wait a moment, Yeon Woo!" "Please go back." "Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince and must be a role model..." "Your Highness!" "Are you done crying now?" "Your Highness." "I received special permission from the King, so don't worry." "I've prepared a one-man puppet show for you." "Neither you nor I will be able to sleep tonight anyway, so let's watch it together." "As it is a performance put together in haste, if the puppeteer's performance isn't up to par," "I hope you will be understanding." "Please begin." "What did you just say?" "Since the Crown Princess has changed," "I said to get rid of her." "His Majesty is having her building guarded tightly." "An attack or poisoning is impossible." "The only way to proceed without approaching her is through your skills." "I am here to safeguard the lives and fortunes of the royal family." "As she is already been selected as Crown Princess, she is now also part of the royal family." "I don't believe Seongsucheong is in such a good position right now." "With the incessant demands of the Confucian scholars to close it, isn't Seongsucheong on the verge of being abolished?" "If I no longer protect it, what do you think will happen to it?" "Is that a threat?" "It is an order." "She is the Crown Princess." "Once you kill her, she will no longer be Crown Princess." "With your own mouth, you said the Personnel Minister's daughter was the master of the Queen's quarters." "You need to take responsibility for your words." "Use your black skills... to kill the child Heo Yeon Woo." "It was me, Ari?" "It was to be me who drives that child to the jaws of death?" "Tell me, Ari." "What am I to do?" "That child or Seongsucheong, which do I protect?" ""Yi In Gong" (Chinese characters = craft two people)" "[Shaman]" "Mother." "I've come to see you today with something to say..." "If she gets too close to the sun, the demise of her family will be brought upon her." "But the child was born, destined to protect the sun at his side." "I..." "I love you." "Oh my." "I'm so embarrassed." "I too..." "Truly... do I not have any other choice but to kill her?" "Crown Princess!" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Main Translator: meju" "Timer: dizzybugs" "Editor/QC: trodan74" "Coordinators: ay_link, mily2" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "This drama is set during the Joseon Era under the rule of a fictitious king." "All characters and events are fictitious and have no historic basis." "Episode 5" "From this point, you will begin your training for the marriage ceremony." "When you bow, make sure the candle light doesn't flicker." "And you must move your body quietly." "The bow you will make during the wedding ceremony, requires you to bend your body straight as an arrow." "Make sure you don't lower your head, so always be aware." "Did you sleep well?" "Today, you will probably start your difficult training." "It will be lonely and hard work." "But Yeon Woo, if it's you, I know you will be strong and endure it." "Noh Court Lady is probably anxious because of you." "It is a letter that the Crown Prince wanted to pass on to you." "The palace is heavily guarded, so I can not see you this instant." "But I'll treasure this moment." "And I'll be waiting." "For the day when you become my Crown Princess." "Are the preparations all done?" "Yes." "Did you bring her?" "Yes." "Here is the paper with her birth characters, and the clothes she wore at her private residence." "So." "Please start." "Is it finished now?" "Yes." "So, when can I expect to hear from the palace guards?" "That ... is something my ability cannot control." "Didn't you say that it is a magic that will cut off her lifeline?" "There is no magic that can cut off a life that heaven has given." "So ... you're leaving it up to fate?" "Don't worry." "She will suffer from a persistent unknown illness." "Then, she will die naturally after." "That's true." "If she died suddenly, there would be suspicion from outside the palace." "This is actually better." "Even if he is the king, he cannot keep an ill person in the palace." "As long as there are no palace guards, that child's life ... is not in the hands of God, but ours." "That's actually for the better." "But, if she does not die at an appropriate time, you will have to finish her off yourself." "Oh dear." "Are you afraid?" "Everything's over now, so please relax." "Don't worry." "Now you will have everything you want, Princess." "Your Highness!" "Crown Princess!" "Call for the doctor quickly." "Quickly!" "Yes." "Your Highness, can you hear me?" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Please be advised to remove the Princess Successor from the palace, Your Majesty!" "It has been many days since she took ill, and there is no improvement." "This is definitely an illness she did not get overnight." "Neither is it an illness that just needs a few days of treatment." "Though the wedding ceremony hasn't been held, she's no different from being Crown Princess." "Letting her stay in the palace to receive the doctor's treatment is the right thing to do." "Letting a patient stay in the palace is something that should not be done." "If by any chance the illness were to spread through the palace, how would you deal with that misfortune?" "What you've said is too much!" "Are you saying that the Crown Princess is causing an epidemic?" "It is not a normal sickness." "It is a strange disease that has never been seen before." "The Crown Princess's illness is one with no cure!" "If she continues to receive treatment, she will get better." "Your Majesty." "I'm the Minister of Personnel, Yoon Dae Hyung." "In time to come, the Crown Princess will bear the royal heir." "It is important that the heir does not inherit any illness." "How can you treat a sick person as the country's princess?" "Postponing the royal marriage indefinitely ... will create political problems for the country." "As soon as we can, we need to find a reasonable solution." "So." "What is this reasonable solution you are suggesting?" "Heo Crown Princess who hid her illness should be removed." "After that, a more appropriate Crown Princess should be chosen." "Furthermore, the father who hid his daughter's illness and listed her for selection, Heo Young Jae, and the one who hid his family's illness and entered the Sigangweon, Heo Yeom, should be held accountable for their crimes." "Why are you suddenly here without any notification?" "The patient can no longer stay in the palace." "There is a court order to remove her quickly." "How can that be so sudden?" "Even so, give me some time to pack her things ..." "Because the illness may be infectious, we have to burn all things in this part of the palace." "Don't leave a thing and burn it all." "Can't you get out of my way?" "She's my princess!" "How dare you turn her out without my permission?" "!" " Get out of my way!" " Your Highness." " Be healthy, your Highness." " Get out of my w..." "Your Highness." "Yeon Woo." "Oh, Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo." "You're my princess." "Get out of my way." "Yeon Woo." " Get out." " Your Highness." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." " Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo!" " You'll have to be watchful of the Crown Prince." "If the Chief Scholar's daughter should be removed, he will definitely not just stand by." "The Crown Prince does not understand politics yet." "Do you think so?" "Being attached by feelings is only being attached by feelings." "Even when there were debates about the selection, didn't the Crown Prince's palace stay quiet?" "Instead, the Sungkyunkwan scholars made a move." "Sungkyunkwan, which has been quiet all this time, chose to cry out in protest during the selection." "Because of them, His Majesty has gained power." "It is the same for Sigangweon." "The people that His Majesty playfully chased out of Sigangweon, were all people recommended by our side." "In the end, the one who became the Crown Prince's teacher, was Heo Young Jae's son, Heo Yeom." "It's not that the Crown Prince does not understand politics." "It's just that before he becomes king, he is putting on a naive persona to camouflage himself." "Tender young stems, have to be pruned at the right time, in order for them to take on the shape you want, don't you agree?" "Crown Prince." "Grandmother." "How much your heart must be aching ..." "Crown Prince." "Yes, Grandmother?" "Now, please forget about that child." "She is the one to become my princess." "How can you tell me to forget her so easily?" "You must forget her, so that the child and the royal family can be calm." "Grandmother!" "Just sit still and, quietly obey the imperial orders." "The imperial orders!" "What are they?" "The orders that I must follow." "Who exactly is the one who set them?" "Crown Prince." "What did you gain from moving the scholars of Sungkyunkwan?" "Other than giving the scholars some power, you have gained nothing, am I not right?" "If His Majesty and the Crown Prince were not greedy for her, she could have been a child who lived a normal life." "If she weren't selected to be the Crown Princess, what would have been the problem in her taking ill?" "By receiving her mother's care, she could have been comfortable." "See, who has received happiness from your actions?" "If that child becomes miserable, it will be because of you, Crown Prince." "If her brother's wings are bent, it will be also be because of you, Crown Prince." "If His Majesty were to lose his reputation, that too will be because of you, Crown Prince." "If the Chief Scholar's family were to be eliminated, that will be all because of you." "It causes more damage to oppose than to comply." "That's why, for those who have experienced setbacks, in order to avoid suffering or breaking, follow and comply with the rules." "That's compliance." "So, don't do anything." "Remain quiet." "That way, no one will get hurt." "Really, that's very strange." "In my thirty years as a physician, this is the first time I've seen anything like this." "There seems to be nothing wrong with her internal organs, and she is healthy, but she has these symptoms." "It's dumbfounding." "Yeon Woo, what's wrong?" "Please save this child." "If you can save this child, I'll do anything." "Well, I'll prescribe this medicine for her, but don't have high expectations ..." "How can you say something so irresponsible?" "She's in so much pain." " You should at least lessen her pain!" " Wife!" "How can you act so rudely!" "Enough!" "Calm down, Mother." "Please save her." "I'm willing to make shoes out of my hair for you." "If you tell me to sacrifice my life, I will do it." "So please!" "Our Yeon Woo!" "Our Yeon Woo!" " Wife!" " Mother!" " Take her to the other room, quickly!" " Mother!" "You go with them as well." "How do you do?" "Who are you?" "I'm Seongsucheong's high shaman, Jang Nok Young." "A high shaman who should be at the palace ..." "What brings you here?" "A divine energy brought me here." "What do you mean, a divine energy brought you here?" "I came without anyone's knowledge." "So please don't worry." "May I see the young miss for a moment?" "The miss has a mystical illness." "The heavens are helping us." "What perfect timing for this illness to occur." "Starting tomorrow, let's start making recommendations." "What about exile to a faraway place?" "For a Confucian scholar, exile is... like a picnic" "Did you say a picnic?" "There are hundreds of scholars who follow Heo Young Jae." "Being exiled could give him the opportunity to gather people." "Although His Majesty would temporarily lose a trusted vessel, after his hae bae*, [*release from exile] he will be able to recruit a magnificent amount of manpower." "Then!" "Let's go with poison." "There's no need for poison." "When you have wings, not being able to fly is the greatest pain of all." "Slowly." "Let's do this slowly." "What if the Crown Princess's illness were to be suddenly cured?" "That child ... will not return to the palace." "Unless she becomes a ghost." "Or rises from her grave." "Yeon Woo." "Are you going to kill her?" "Are you afraid of your father?" "Do you feel pity for that child?" "Anyway, it is that child's fate to die when the time comes." "Of course if the time is delayed, we will probably have to take things into our own hands." "Why do you think I'm telling you the truth?" "It's because ... you need to understand." "Understand?" "Do you know what people were calling your father, for a period of time?" "A mourner's dog." "The Queen Dowager's hidden knot." "It's an invaluable name that I got." "From a certain member of the royal blood line." "That humiliation and anger." "I have never once forgotten it!" "So, I've paid them back for it." "That's how," "I have come to my position now!" "Didn't you say you wanted to live in the palace?" "Didn't you say you wanted to gain the Crown Prince's love?" "Then, rid yourself of any pity or guilt that you feel!" "Instead, remember the anger and humiliation you feel when something of yours is stolen from you." "Remember the joy you feel when you get what you want." "If you don't have that understanding, then don't you ever, desire that position again." "What do you mean it is the invocatory rite from the spirit world?" "If she doesn't accept the spirit world, the miss's suffering will not end." "That's impossible." "No one in our family has ever suffered from witchcraft before." "Why does it have to be my child?" "I don't know why the gods have chosen the young miss." "But she refused to accept them, which is why she has fallen ill." "What will you do?" "Will you let her accept the spirit world?" "Is there no way to dispel the spirit from her?" "There is a solution." "What is it?" "But, the price is death." "I'll sacrifice my life." "The young miss will have to sacrifice her own." "Please remove the Crown Princess, Your Majesty." "Please remove her." "Please choose a new Crown Princess." "Our country needs safekeeping, Your Majesty." "Yoon Dae Hyung!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Where do you plan on going?" "I'm going to the Palace Hall to make His Majesty retract his order." "Your Highness, please control yourself." "The consequences will be unthinkable!" "Please calm down first." "Calm down." "Your Highness." "Your Highness." "The officials whom the Chief Scholar had firmly controlled, have gone to the other side." "Is there anyone in this palace who isn't Yoon Dae Hyung's man?" "And, how many more will become his?" "!" "Your Highness, please calm down." "I'm really ... useless." "Please stop blaming yourself." "Crown Princess ... was forced out back to her home." "Scholar Heo, too, has been forbidden to enter the palace, just because a family member is sick." "At a time like this," "Yang Myung hyung isn't here either." "Now in the palace," "I have no one on my side." "Kim Jae Woon is not a person." "He's a sword devil." "A sword devil." "Does it make sense for that swordsmanship to go with that face?" "He inherited his looks from his mother, a courtesan in the city." "And he inherited his swordsmanship from his father, the governor." "He has perfect antecedents, don't you agree?" "It's such a pity." "If he weren't an illegitimate son, he would certainly have had an amazing career." "Your Highness, what brings you to this place?" "I was feeling extremely irritated all day today, when I suddenly recalled the nightmare ball match we had." "I have become even more irritated." "You." "Yes, Your Highness" "For some strange reason, you keep coming into my view." "Were you the highest scorer on that day?" "No, I was not." "I am full of desire to win, but I lack the ability." "Then, who was that person?" " It was Kim Jae Woon." " It was Kim Jae Woon." "You." "You." "Both of you." "Come with me." "I didn't see him like that." "His Highness is such a petty person." "That happened so long ago!" "They wouldn't be dismissed because of this issue, would they?" "I'm not sure if this will fit you." "Just put this on for now." "You probably know well enough." "But if anything leaks out about this, your life will be at stake." "Yes." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo." "Can you ... recognize me?" "It doesn't matter." "As long as I can recognize you, it's fine." "Yeon Woo." "Are you real?" "What do you mean?" "You're not an illusion, but the real highness?" "I'm not an illusion." "I have really come to see you." "You're foolish, aren't you?" "What is this?" "It is 'The Moon that Embraces the Sun.'" "The King is the sun, and the Queen is the moon." "This phoenix hairpin, symbolizes the white moon embracing the red sun." "Therefore, I named it ..." "The Moon that Embraces the Sun." "The Moon that Embraces the Sun." "The real Crown Princess in my heart is only you, Yeon Woo." "So, quickly regain your health and return to my side." "Your Highness." "Tell me." "I am very sorry." "What for?" "The first day I met you," "I wrongly accused you of being a thief." "I am very sorry." "I was rude and disrespectful to you." "I am very sorry." "Yes, that is something worth being sorry for." "Everything ... is my fault." "I do not blame you at all." "So, no matter what happens," "please don't blame yourself." "A gentleman doesn't resent the heavens, or bear grudges against the people." "Yes." "Your Highness." "You don't have to keep addressing me." "Tell me." "I ... after meeting you," "was very happy." "You will continue to be happy, so don't say such things." "Serving as escort on a dangerous mission like this, is not like you at all." "Because it happened suddenly," "I removed the other people." "If anything were to happen to His Highness ..." "The whole family who is with her is not ill, so how can it only affect His Highness?" "When missing someone is an illness, it becomes an even bigger danger." "Did you know?" "Crown Prince wants to make you his escort warrior." "Did Yeon Woo ... inadvertently help him do that?" "That child." "I think she likes you." "I'm not sure about that." "I think it's a bit different." "There's the fact that she is really interested in swordsmanship." "And that sharp swordsmanship ..." "There's a trace of yours in hers." "Your name is Kim Jae Woon, right?" "Yes." "Yang Myung hyung and Scholar Heo just call you Woon, right?" "That's correct." "Can I also call you Woon?" "Thank you, Your Highness." "Woon." "Thank you." "The place the Crown Princess was born and raised in," "I always wanted to come and see it once." "Crown Princess is suffering a great deal, but I am unable to do anything for her." "Your Highness." "I am the country's Crown Prince." "Just because I am this country's Crown Prince," "I am very useless." "You're just a lonely and sad Sung Jun Ma Cho*, [*a nobleman who sat in attendance on the king, known as the Tattoo of Joseon]" "Following the moon at night." "Following the sun during the day." "The lonely Sung Jun Ma Cho." "But, what is ma cho?" "The horse's ma, the grass's cho." "It's a symbol for a man like me who is unruly." "Then, what is Sung Jun Ma Cho?" "It can be said that he's a man who is unruly with the addition of innocence." "Because I'm shy, I'll finish it here." "Oh." "Is that it?" "Yes, that's the marketplace." "Oh, is that so." "Here." "Go buy a bowl of soup to eat." "Thank you very much." "Okay, shall I try to sell you off now?" "With ten wins in ten fights, the undefeated legend, Big Grizzly Bear!" "You must win!" "Win!" "Big Grizzly Bear wins!" "Now, do we have any other challengers?" "With the current reward, the winner can buy a cow!" "Are there any other challengers?" "Then, will Big Grizzly Bear become the champion?" "Here I am." "Yes." "A new challenger has appeared." "Will ... this challenger be able to defeat Big Grizzly Bear, the undefeated legend?" "Hey, what is your name?" "Sung Jun Ma Cho" "Yes." "Sung Jun Skirt!" "No." "I am Sung Jun Ma Cho." "Yes, Big Grizzly Bear vs. Sung Jun Skirt" " Give a moment for the sales!" " Place your bets!" "All come and place your bets." "Your bets." "Just like between men, how there's someone who deserves to be king and someone who will become the subject." "It's the same for women." "You really don't regret the road that you've chosen, right?" "Aigoo, jeez." "Wine Lady, bring a cup here." "Yes." "What is it?" "Did something happen?" "The magistrate is raising taxes again." "What?" "What the hell?" "Without any effort, all that money goes to the Yoon clan." "It's like this now." "It'll be worse if the Crown Princess were changed to a member of the Yoon clan." "What's the point of talking?" "As it is, the Crown Princess was driven out of the palace due to an illness, and has been unconscious these past few days." "Now, they're just waiting for her to die." "The Crown Princess is changing?" "What are you talking about?" "Who are you?" "Why are you acting like this?" "Saying that they're waiting for the Crown Princess to die." "What are you talking about?" "Stay alive, Yeon Woo." "Please stay alive." "What did you just say?" "I'm telling you to go to your uncle temporarily to avoid the illness." "[Pi Byung:" "Moving residence to avoid illness]" "Father." "You are this family's eldest son and the Crown Prince's man." "Yeon Woo is on the verge of death, so how can you have your son evade this calamity?" "Just go." "I cannot." "At the least, I have to know what Yeon Woo is suffering from." "It's an illness that all the medical experts can not understand." "How could you?" "I will search all the medical books in the world." "And I will find it out." "Have you forgotten that you are His Highness' tutor?" "If I can not even protect my sister, how can I help the Crown Prince?" "For someone as educated as you, how can you be so narrow in thinking?" "Who will help the Crown Prince in the future?" "You." "You have to help him." "That is the only way you and Yeon Woo ... can repay the king and me as fathers." "Leave." "[Location collaboration:" "Korean Folk Village]" "Seol, I have a favor to ask of you." "Because Yeon Woo is asleep, I can not bid her farewell." "If Yeon Woo were to look for me, write me ..." "You probably don't know how to write." " Then, send a person to ..." " I know how to write." "Young Miss taught me, saying that if I know letters, I can understand the whole world." "Every night, she taught me a little." "Knowing that you, Seol, is by her side, I feel relieved." "While I am gone, take care of Yeon Woo." "I will count on you, Seol." "Seol." "Go with this person." "He is the one who will take you to your new owner." "Your Excellency." "She is honest and good." "She's a child my daughter cares for, so please make sure she doesn't do hard labor." "Do not worry, Your Excellency." "Have I done something wrong?" "That's not it, Seol." "I will fix it." "I will fix it, so please do not sell me to someone else." "I won't eat as much." "Please let me stay by young miss's side." "Seol." "I promised young master that I would take care of young miss." "So, please ..." "When young miss is completely cured," "I will bring you back." "So, please listen to what I say now." "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo, wake up." "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo!" "Yeon Woo!" "While she's alive, there's no way to remove the spirit." "Are you telling me to kill my daughter?" "This is the only way to remove the spirit, and to let her go to the underworld without any pain." "I have to ask you one question." "Please ask." "If that child takes the medicine, will it really end her suffering?" "That's correct." "It will remove the spirit that is said to remain even if you die, and she will go with ease, is that right?" "Yes, I promise you." "Sir, I am committing a crime worthy of death." "I will spend my life paying for that sin." "[Location collaboration:" "Korean Folk Village]" "My lord, why did you not call me?" "I will continue with this, so go in and rest." "I will do it." "So, Wife, you should rest today." "Why should I rest when I haven't done anything?" "Give it to me." "I, too, want to do something as her father." "At the least, preparing this medicine for her." "Let me do so." "The miss has a mystical illness." "Your Highness Crown Prince." "I am writing you with the last of my strength." "Yeon Woo." "Have you recovered now?" "Your Highness, do you know why I sent this plant to you?" "This thing ..." "Didn't you already tell me?" "Actually, besides that, there's a hidden meaning." "Hidden meaning?" "I hoped that you would be curious about what would grow in this pot." "That way, you would have written a reply asking about it." "Then, you were waiting for my reply?" "Really, you should have just said so." "I didn't know that and thought you were just avoiding ..." "Your Highness." "Yes?" "I wish you to be healthy and peaceful." "[Letter to the Crown Prince]" "[Letter to the Crown Prince]" "Yeon Woo?" "Wake up." "You have to take your medicine, right?" "The medicine is very hot, even when it has cooled." "Yeon Woo." "I am sorry for many things." "I can only remember feeling sorry towards you." "Had I known earlier," "I would have let you read all the books you wanted." "I would have let you do whatever you wanted." "I thought there was plenty of time." "I was foolish." "Father." "Give it to me quickly." "The medicine." "Taking this medicine," "I want to stop being ill." "The medicine ... is bitter, isn't it?" "It's bitter, very much so." "Our dear Yeon Woo." "I'm holding you until you fall asleep." "Yes." "I'm happy that your embrace reminds me of brother's." "Yes." "Sleep well in my arms." "I want to hold this in my arms when I sleep."

"I would like to leave Seongsucheong for a while." "Leave Seongsucheong?" "By nature, using the black arts with someone's life is taboo." "This recent ritual has weakened my body and divine power." "So I'd like to wander about the mountains and streams, and cleanse my body and mind." "However, there is no one who has your level of divine power, so it would be difficult for us."

"Your lot in life is quite pitiable." "I suppose you'll be living as that lady's shadow for your entire life." "When snowflakes get too close to flames, they melt and disappear." "So don't ever get too close." "Young lady, you are a shaman." "You were receiving an invocation rite when you fainted, and you've finally woken up today." "Because you hosted such a powerful spirit inside you, it appears, the shock has made you lose your memory." "From this moment on, think of me as your spiritual mother..." "What about my family?" "My family... where are they?" "I do not know." "You were wandering the streets, and in your eyes," "I found an uncommon mystical spirit." "So I merely performed an invocation rite." "Was I... abandoned?" "Did my family realize I had a mystical spirit and abandoned me?" "You are now already a shaman." "It's best you forget the connections in your past." "It could also be that the gods have taken your memory to cut your ties with the past and lead you to live as a shaman." "It must be their will." "Your Highness." "You must have suffered such an ordeal in these recent days." "An ordeal?" "It is our fault, not being cautious enough in the selection of the Crown Princess." "Ahh." "Life, age, illness, and death are up to the Heavens." "What can men do?" "Since you put it so kindly, I do not know what to do with myself or where to go." "In all of Heaven and Earth, how could there not exist a place for you?" "And well, if you're looking for a place..." "I suppose you'll secure one, even if it's by yanking out whoever is already there." "Yeon Woo!" "They have decided on an exile location." "Though we have become criminals, this is the appropriate price we must pay." "You must not resent His Majesty, the King." "How could I harbor such thoughts?" "However, I worry about the Crown Prince left alone." "Though your body is a great distance away, never forget that you are the Crown Prince's loyal subject." "Until the day you return to his side, you must not become lackadaisical in your scholarly pursuits." "I will take your words to heart." "Lord, you may need to come out for a moment." "What is it?" "Well, it's that..." "Madam is again..." "Eat this, too." "It is the zucchini you like." "Wife." "Where have you been wandering, leaving home like that?" "Wife!" "Are you okay?" "I will pack food and clothes for you to take, so let's go out." " Wife." " Yeon Woo." " How long are you going to..." " Where are you going in the middle of eating?" "Stop." "That's enough, please!" "Our Yeon Woo is dead." "She is dead!" "Our Yeon Woo..." "Aigoo, my baby." "Yeon Woo!" "You've come." "I was worried." "What about the children?" "Come out." "Mistress!" "Mistress!" "Hurry." "Hurry, hurry." "Hurry." "Hurry, hurry." "We must hurry." "Please, get in the boat." "What is it?" "Are you still not felling well?" "It's not that." "My family who abandoned me may be nearby." "If I depart..." "I fear I may never see them again." "We must hurry." "Please, get in the boat." "I'm sorry to trouble you." "Please come and see me whenever you need help." "Are you going back to the Sogyeokseo*?" "(*Government Office of Taoist Rites)" "The leave of absence His Majesty granted me has ended, so I suppose I will need to return." "When are you intending to return to Seongsucheong?" "How could I dare to return as High Shaman?" "Don't speak such nonsense." "You still have obligations to the royal family and the people." "Are you not coming?" "I must be going now." "Please, be well." "Be careful." "As long as you are with the lady, one cannot say you are safe." "Farewell!" "Please be well, Miss!" "Next time we meet, please show me your smiling face!" "With the moon hidden, I suppose this country's darkness will deepen." "However, it is the routine of the moon to veil itself and set, then rise yet again." "There will come a day, when she will find her true face." "I pray you stay safe until that day." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Why do you keep calling me "Miss"?" "Excuse me?" "That..." "Because you're the Moon." "Moon?" "Because you hosted such a powerful spirit, everyone addresses you with respect." "Right." "You said I was a shaman." "Was this it, Ari?" ""Yi In Gong" (Chinese characters = craft two people)" "[Shaman]" "What's the matter?" "Why are you crying?" "It's nothing." "Nothing." "Don't cry." "Don't cry." "Whether she recovers her place as Queen or continues her life as a shaman, it is now in her hands." "Oh, my goodness!" "It's like an angel has descended from the heavens!" "There have been many turns and complications leading up to this wedding, but you are now becoming this country's Crown Princess." "Mother." "When you enter the palace, you must remember this." "The Crown Princess was originally rightfully your title." "You are not a substitute." "You've merely regained your rightful place." "So, no matter what happens, be firm in your mindset." "I will take that to heart." "You must not show any weakness." "I shall not show any weakness." "Now, no one will be able to set their sights on your position." "Now, no one... will be able to take it away from me." "Your Highness shall place the wild goose and bow twice." "Do not worry." "Now, you will be able to obtain what you want."

"Your Highness, for the Crown Princess to get into the palanquin..." "Your name, Yeon Woo..." "does it mean a gentle rain?" "Yes." "It is in Chinese characters." "Then, I suppose it could also mean a misty rain." "That's a pretty name." "Your Majesty." "You will get sick." "Please return inside to your quarters." "Shall I call for hot tea to be prepared?" " Or perhaps, warm spirits?" " Hyung Sun." "Yes, Your Majesty." "You always... talk too much." " However, it will soon be time for lessons." " Have them all gather outside." "Why... outside?" "The day is lovely, is it not?" "This calls for a game of Gyeokgu*." "(*game like polo, on or off horse)." " Big hit!" " It's a big hit." "Your Majesty's swing sense sends the ball so high, it's like it pierces the sky!" "It seems your flattery and adulation could pierce the sky." "I believe it's your turn, Tax Minister." "Truly excellent skills." "You must have been busy with your duties." " When did you develop such prowess?" " Ay, I wouldn't go so far as to call it prowess." "It's just this hole happens to be a wee bit bigger than the others." "Ahh." "Then, I suppose you would know where the biggest hole in the palace lies." "How could I know that?" "Then, let me lead the way." "Your Majesty, you must not." "People forced into slave labor, with no proper food or clothing, are enduring the harshest depths of winter under a single dog hide." "It appears, one by one, people are freezing to death." "Local magistrate loan landowners money to pay land taxes at usurious interest rates, and when they can't pay, they take the land and the daughters for concubines?" "Oh!" "And it says he's taken twenty concubines!" "He enjoys more benefits than me." "I can see why he was reported." "And this is a call for the impeachment of Yoon Su Il of the Personnel Ministry for accepting bribes for government office appointments." "Yoon Su Il... isn't he your cousin?" "It's false incrimination, Your Majesty!" "Embezzled relief rations from the poor." "Privately requisitioned the people to put up a monument to himself." "Stole and occupied the people's land." "Enslavement, double and triple tortures, gross abuse of power..." "How can one read these without tears?" "And yet... why were these petitions not delivered to the King?" "!" "After reviewing them, we were eventually going to..." "Do you not see the dates the petitions were recorded?" "These petitions are over a month old." "It's just that they were such trivial matters that we..." "Who says that the content of these documents were trivial?" "And have I ever issued an order for you to judge the suffering of our people?" "!" "Do you understand now?" "This is the biggest hole inside the palace." "The Royal Secretariat!" "The biggest hole that obstructs the communication between the people and their king!" "He's grown a lot." "A lot." "It seems as if it was yesterday when the Grand Queen Dowager was regent." "But he already appears to be baring his claws over every little matter." "We were worried hearing he was unwell, but those claims seem to be unfounded." "Today, he wasn't just well, he was brimming with youthful vigor." "Vigor ought to be conserved and used in the marital bed." "Why waste it on matters that don't concern him?" "I don't know this for a fact, but his reason for rejecting the queen's marital bed was most likely a false illness all this time..." "It is not a false illness." "Though he desperately tried to hide it, he couldn't hide the sickly look on his face." "Then, why don't we send him far away to recuperate." "And we can kindly offer to take over the stressful affairs of the state." "Do you not know His Majesty?" "Just a moment ago, he took the petitions with him so he can read them all night." "Even if it were me, I'd leave a cat with a fish before I'd leave you with the palace." "Are you through?" "!" "It's not a bad idea." "You see?" "!" "Everybody disregards me because I was appointed without completing the civil exam, but as you can see, I'm not so thickheaded." "Moreover, it's a good opportunity to handle the Boyeongru repair case in secret." "Even a dog you raised can become vicious if he is leashed too tightly." "He must be unleashed occasionally to ensure he remains obedient." "What did you just say?" "A flood of appeals demanding a royal concubine?" "I've put in a word at the Royal Secretariat, so it is not widely known." "But it won't be long before His Majesty finds out." "If by some chance he were receptive, and if that royal concubine were to bear the first Prince..." "That cannot be!" "The first Prince must absolutely be borne by the Queen." "However, he has refused the marital bed with the Queen with one excuse or another for a very long time already." "At this rate," " the birth of a Prince becomes a remote possibility." " Why is it his illness strikes without fail when he is to share the marital bed?" "Forgive me for saying this, but Prince Yang Myung has a crowd of supporters aligned with him." "What did you just say?" "If by chance, the king were to pass away without leaving an heir..." "Watch what you say, Chief Councilor!" "His Majesty is in good health!" "Then, we must show the whole country that he is in good health." "Even after he's shown signs of good health, why do you think he keeps falling ill?" "Don't you think it's overexertion due to the affairs of state?" "So then, do you have a solution?" "We must allow him to shed the affairs of state temporarily." "Though I am but a lowly subject," "I should take care of the affairs of state in his absence." "However, do you think His Majesty will agree so easily?" "You must step in, of course." "You are the only one in this palace who can bend his stubborn will, are you not?" "Travel to the outlying palaces?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Your ill health... it's always keeping you from your marital bed." "Why not put aside the stressful affairs of state and take care of your health?" "If I flinch over the most minor pain, you immediately discuss the subject of an heir." "Are you worried about the my health or about what may happen after I die?" "I just cannot know." "How could you say such a thing?" "Then, would you come with me?" "Ah, that's right." "I completely forgot." "When the King is away, the Queen's father becomes the pro tem guardian of the palace and takes over the palace responsibilities, is that right?" "As it is such a good opportunity to handle matters as you see fit without the king," "I suppose you'd choose to stay rather than join me at the hot springs." "Isn't that so, Chief Councilor?" "Your Majesty, the Grand Queen Dowager requests an audience." "Oh my." "There are so many who seek me today." "For some reason, I believe she'll be saying something very similar to what you said." "What are your thoughts?" "You've come, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, this is an earnest entreaty from your grandmother." "Please take temporary respite in the rural palaces and recover your health." "Forgive me." "The affairs of the state have stacked up, making it impossible." "You can delay the affairs of the state for the moment, but you cannot delay bearing a Prince any longer." "Royal processions require too many resources and are a waste of state funds." "This is for your health, Your Majesty." "The rise and fall of the country and the fortune of the people ride on your health." "And that is why I do not skip visits with the physician." "I am not seriously ill, so please don't worry." "Then, why is a Prince so late in coming?" "Forgive me." "Because of my inadequate virtue and lack of devotion," "I have caused much worry." "How could that be solely your fault?" "You spend more days alone due to His Majesty's poor health, isn't that so?" "That is not so." "It is my fault for being unable to provide proper support" " for His Majesty." " Oh dear." "My heart aches for you, Queen." "Your Majesty, I'm certain you must know that to neglect your health and fail to produce an heir is a dereliction of a monarch's duty, no?" "However, isn't that the providence of the heavens?" "You must make an effort." "With regards to the state, you have the Chief Councilor, and you have me, who recently served as regent." "Entrusting the state affairs to relatives is also a dereliction of duty, is it not?" "Your Majesty." "What you just said, to whom was that directed?" "It wasn't directed at anyone." "It was merely a general statement." "If Your Majesty gives this grandmother's earnest request such a cold reception," "I have no choice." "Court Lady Park!" "Do not bring me any food from today on!" "Your Highness!" "When His Majesty completely disregards my sincere intentions, what is the point of living on as a useless old woman?" "Beginning today, I shall quit eating and just count the days until I die." "Your Highness, why are you doing this?" "Please shed your anger." "Your Highness, you mustn't do this." "Please retract your order." "Please consider the Grand Queen Dowager's sincerity, Your Majesty." "The late King always showed great filial piety for her." "A royal visit to the rural palaces is not a simple matter." "You could reduce the scale, could you not?" " However, Your Highness..." " By falling ill, you have already caused her much anxiety." "How can you show even more lack of filial duty?" "Your Majesty, may I enter?" "You may enter." "Your Majesty, you are needed outside momentarily." " What is it?" " It's... the qu... queen..." "The queen..." "I pray you shed your anger, Your Highness." "All of this is my fault for not being able to provide proper support for His Majesty." "Please punish me instead, and withdraw your intention to starve!" "Please get up, Queen." "Your Majesty." "The day is cold." "Please get up." "Until..." "Her Highness retracts her orders and agrees to eat," "I shall not get up." "I shall ask for the Grand Queen Dowager's forgiveness and travel to the rural palaces." "So please get up now." "Your Majesty." "The Grand Queen Dowager makes her moves inside." "And the Chief Councilor makes his moves on the outside." "You must be happy to have such strong backing." "Do you remember what I told you when I visited your family." "If you've forgotten, let me tell you again." "Since you and your clan will obtain everything you wanted, don't go so far as to hope for my heart, as well." "As it will never be yours." "Could it be possible that you still cannot forget her?" "She is dead." "Do you understand?" "She is not the master of these chambers." "I am your Queen." "Your Highness." "The Princess has come." "Send her in." "Have you been well, Your Highness?" "Welcome, Princess." "What brings you here?" "When I saw the Queen Mother, she suggested I come to comfort you." "But, I understand you performed Seokgo Daejoe*. (*Kneeling until forgiven.)" "Well, because of my lack of virtue, I have not conceived a prince." "So it was appropriate to plead for forgiveness." "Ahh." "But it's probably not a lack of virtue." "It's more likely a lack of affection." "Excuse me?" "Virtue has no effect between a man and a woman." "It would have to be affection over virtue." "The reason Brother doesn't come to the Queen's quarters is probably because he holds no affection for you..." "But, what is it that brought you to the palace today?" "Excuse me?" "Ahh." "Actually, the Meteorological Office has come up with prime dates for me and my husband to share the marital bed." "Ah, I must be going now." "If my husband does not have me in his sight, he gets very restless." "Be well, Your Highness." "Please close the door." "What's the matter?" "Did you leave something behind?" "Do you think I'm someone who's always leaving things behind?" "Yes, I do." "Husband!" "It is your wife." "Why do you not answer?" "Then, I shall enter!" "Husband." "How is it you have stopped studying to lie down?" "You laid out the blankets as if you knew the reason I would come." "Actually, I went to visit the Queen Mother today." "And she had specially obtained dates for our marital bed from the Meteorology Office." "It's more likely that you begged and pleaded her to obtain them." "Why are you so startled?" "What are you doing here, Lord?" "I dropped by the bookstore and brought back some books." "Then, with whom is the Princess talking right now?" "As you can see, today happens to be an auspicious day." "And since the blankets have already been laid, and also since they say strike the iron in one blow..." "It's not in one blow, it's strike the iron while it's hot." "Who are you?" "Your brother." "Prince Yang Myung!" "Give that to me!" "Give that back to me now!" "Min Hwa, you must had added these three dates." "How did you..." "If someone couldn't notice such clumsy forgery," " wouldn't he be a fool?" " Brother!" "You're not fighting are you?" "Fight, nonsense." "How could I fight with a woman that would strike iron in one blow?" "Brother, you're hateful." "Aigoo." "That is your penalty for betraying my love for you." "How did I end up with my sister as a rival." "Why do you always do this?" "Huh?" "What did I do?" "Whenever you come, you provoke her." "Haven't I already told you, it's a rival's jealousy." "She irks me." "How does the Princess irk you so?" "She made you into a Prince Consort, did she not?" "Lord." "The late King never hid his desire for you to be one of the present King's officials." "Why, then, would he clip the wings of a rare man of such talent?" "I resent both the late King and Princess Min Hwa." "Please don't speak like that." "And if I don't speak like that, shall I speak more vaguely, indirectly?" "The Princess is a savior to my family." "The reason our family was not destroyed, that I sit here safe, isn't it all... due to the graciousness of the Princess in accepting me?" "Graciousness, what nonsense." "Your ambitious dreams, your aspirations, they've all been clipped." "What is it?" "A cute thieving cat has gone off with my shoes." "Excuse me?" "What trouble." "Then, what about wearing my shoes temporarily?" "It's all right." "For a wanderer, an extra pair of shoes is essential." "Then, were you traveling yet again?" "A tiresome horde of flies keep gathering outside my home." "I understand His Majesty's health has not improved." "Please, look away." "Are you not curious?" "About what?" "If she were alive, what would she look like?" "Lord." "You and I age continuously." "But in my memories," "your sister remains thirteen." "What are you thinking about so deeply?" "I was thinking about you." "Are you not going to go to the Palace?" "Did Yeom instigate this questioning?" "No." "I just... feel that he's waiting for you." "Who are you saying is waiting for me?" "His Majesty." "After I hurt him so, do you think he would be waiting for me?" "He is waiting." "You are always speaking only of His Majesty." "Inside the Palace, with no one to confide in, how lonely he must be." "He has Woon by his side." "Prince Yang Myung, please protect him." "Please, Prince Yang Myung, protect His Majesty." "The owner has been..." "Prince Yang Myung." "Prince Yang Myung!" "Why are you running?" " Prince Yang Myung!" " Prince Yang Myung!" "Prince Yang Myung!" " Prince Yang Myung!" " Prince Yang Myung!" "Prince Yang Myung!" " Prince Yang Myung!" " Prince Yang Myung!" "Are you satisfied now?" "This is the way..." "I protect His Majesty." "Your Highness, everything is my fault." "It is not your fault, Your Highness." "Whatever may happen, do not blame yourself." "If that child becomes miserable, it's because of you." "When she was buried in the cold earth, what did you do?" "That is, indeed... that is also..." "all of it is because of you." "If it were me, I would have protected her." "I would have staked my everything, my life, to protect her." "Your Highness failed to protect her." "Failed to protect her." "Failed to protect her!" "Did you have the same dream?" "Is that you, Woon?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Let's go outside." "I think I need to get some air." "[Closed]" "Woon." "Please speak." "Do you know why this is called the Eunweol Pavilion?" "Because it uses the characters "hidden" and "moon", doesn't it mean hidden moon?" "It's a bit like that." "But that's not completely correct." "Is there a hidden meaning?" "When the late King first constructed this building, he felt that the moon reflected in the pond was so beautiful that he wanted to save it forever." "Even on nights the moon didn't appear, he hope to pull it out." "Therefore, he named this building Eunweol Pavilion." "So that it may hide the moon reflected in the pond." "And on nights with no moon, it may quietly pull the moon out onto the pond's surface." "That is the precise meaning behind the Eunweol Pavilion." "I will remember it." "I also hid a moon here once a long time ago." "So that I can pull it out whenever I longed for it." "Look there." "Though the Sun and the Moon cannot be together in one sky, but in this pond, they are together." "Mistress!" "Mistress!" "What are you doing all the way here?" "The Chief Taoist Priest sent a letter." "Light some candles, Jan Shil." "You haven't lit any of the candles, yet?" "The flow of heaven and earth is changing." "It feels like it is time." "I will be there in 4 days." "Let's meet briefly." "Child, go on back now."

"Good luck." "Yeon Woo, you are trying to make His Highness and I meet, aren't you?" "When you arrive there, please send my regards to the monk." "Seol, you must take baby and go home immediately." "I'm about to get a scab on my ears." "If you can't trust me that much, leave her and take me instead." "Compared to your obstinacy, I'm more worried about her mouth, so I'm taking her." "There's nothing to be envious of." "Since the nagger isn't here, shall we have a bowl of soup before we go back?" "This is no ordinary tent permit!" "The permit that you have been waiting for and are still waiting for has finally come." "The opportunity to see His Highness up close is in this tent permit." "[Uimakche:" "A temporary tent permit to be able to see the king]" "Oh, no you can't." "Now, watch His Highness's royal procession from a comfortable place, this is an excellent chance." "If you lose this chance..." " You cannot." " You'll punch the ground and regret it forever." "We really cannot." "Now, let's see." "Oh, you have an ugly face." "No, we mustn't." "Let's pretend this didn't happen." "Seol..." " Where are you going?" " Forget it." "Oh take this." "I gave one away." "Don't worry." "Just trust me and..." "Hey!" "There's news that His Highness... has just reached the entrance of the village!" " Give me one." " Give me one." "I know." "I know." "I know." "Two pieces." "It seems like we have come close to the village, so raise the blinds." "The weather is chilly, so just going" "I said to lift it." "Stop." "Set down the palanquin." "Despite the cold, they have come to see me, so how can I disappoint the citizens?" "Then, make your expression bright or show a benevolent smile" "How can the State of Yue become pretty because of a benevolent smile?" "A true beauty cannot be diminished by even a frown." "Do you think it's easy to be the king and have my looks?" "Do you plan on wasting the day here?" "Pick up the pace!" "Lift the palanquin." "As we promised, just a glimpse." "We'll take a glimpse and go." "I said okay." "Yes." "Yes." "Go in." "Yes, that way." "We live in the neighboring village." "My child really wants to see the procession of His Highness." "Reject." "Go back." "Next." "Officer, just this once." "This woman!" "If you wanted to see His Highness's procession, then wear silk clothes and come!" "Reject." "Officer, still just this once!" "This woman really!" "Stand up." "Aren't you being too harsh to a weak woman?" "What?" "Poor and low-class people don't have the right to see His Highness?" "Where is there such a rule?" "But this girl, who are you?" "What do you do?" "I'm a shaman." "For a lowly shaman, how dare you stare and talk back?" "I'll just" "Before I cut off this hand, put it down." "And what is this?" "Are you her man?" "You look just like a girl." "What?" "To have a shaman by your side makes you happy?" "Is it great?" "Do you want me to tell you the reason your wife left you?" "What?" "It's because of your hitting habit." "Whenever you drink, you hit your wife, so you deserve that she ran away with a young man." "Hey!" "Your wife cheated on you, so she left home?" "Didn't you say she went to her parents' home?" "Who said she cheated!" "You shut your mouth!" "Whenever you eat, you spit up acid, right?" "Drinking in the least helps you ease the pain, so you've drunk instead of eating." "Your stomach illness is already advanced, so if you don't stop drinking immediately," "you'll die earlier." "At most, you have a year." "Y- you, bitch!" "Let it go." "Nothing good will come of provoking a shaman." "What if she curses you with her magic?" "Hey, you there!" "Do you want to die?" "Stand there!" "Stand there!" "Stand there!" "Stop there!" "Quickly go in." "[Collaborated location:" "Korean Folk Village]" "Miss, how can you pretend to be a shaman again?" "Didn't the master tell you not to do that again?" "I just did what I, a shaman, is supposed to do, so what would be the problem?" "For someone who has no powers but pretends to have is fraud!" "But, for someone who has no spiritual powers, how did you know that man's wife had an affair?" "That's not spiritual powers but power of deduction." "What?" "Even though it's broad daylight, he reeked of alcohol." "On top of that, his nose was red from the alcohol, so he must be a severe alcoholic." "Oh!" "Even though it's nothing big, he is aggressive and from the fact that he is quick to hit a woman, you can guess that his drunk habit is horrid as well." "He probably wasn't any different because he was home." "But you can't say that his wife left him." "I saw that a woman has not tended to him." "The holes on his clothes were big, but not mended." "Most importantly, when he saw a fine and pretty young man, he seemed more angry." "A man...?" "Do you mean me?" "So, his wife positively ran away with a young man." "Seeing as he is still very angry, it hasn't been too long." "Then, what was his illness about?" "It's obvious." "He's already an alcoholic, so how much more would he have drank because of his wife?" "His mouth had a peculiar smell so it's proof that his stomach illness is advanced." "With your power of deduction, you should open up a fortune teller stand." "But, why were you so severe with your words, it wasn't like you." "Whenever there's a problem, he tries to beat people, so he brought it upon himself." "Although he has a pitiful situation, he has to get a severe scolding to come to his senses." "Think about how much his wife was beaten that she ran away in the middle of the night." "Don't run." "Stop there!" "Stop there." "Grab him!" "Grab him!" "Hold on." "Let's talk after you let me go." "Let go." "Come here." "Hold on." "What a temper!" "Let's talk." "Talk." "His Highness is approaching." "I'll see you later." "Let's go." "Stop already and pay your respects." "Miss!" "Miss!" "Miss!" "Miss!" "Grab them!" "Stop!" "Seize him!" "Stop!" "Move away!" "Seize them!" "What is going on?" "It seems a woman stood out of queue and caused a riot." "A woman?" "Yes." "In case that there might be ill will against you, the guards are chasing her." "I will bring down the curtain." "Seize them!" "Seize them!" "Quickly!" "Quickly, after them!" "Seize them." "Seize them." "Chase after them." "Chase them!" "Miss, are you insane?" "How can you stand and look His Highness directly in the face?" "Seol." "What is it?" "Like you and I were chased today, have we been chased like this before?" "If we had to experience this twice, do you think we would still be alive?" "Then, whose memories are these?" "[Collaborated Location:" "Korean Folk Village]" "I'm sorry." "I mistook you for someone else." "What was I expecting?" "She's already dead and buried under the dirt." "Why are you acting like this, Your Highness?" "Is the water temperature not to your liking?" "Is the fragrance not to your liking?" "If that is also not it" "Irritated." "What?" "Very irritated." "Not you, Hyung Sun." "Then, what is to your dissatisfaction?" "Silk clothes." "Silk shoes." "Shiny faces." "What?" "Everyone was dressed so elegantly." "You could not see a trace of a crude person on the streets." "Even the animals we passed had glossy coats." "What a peaceful and prosperous nation." "I am definitely a sage king." "That's because they were just trying to show His Highness the best..." "Do you think I came all the way to Ohn Yang to see that?" "Your Highness, you have come to recuperate." "Try to forget about government issues for a" "Woon." "Please tell me your order." "I feel much better after bathing in the hot water." "You must be tired after the long journey, do you want to join me?" "G- ginseng" "Go and bring more ginseng and herbs to put into the tub." "Your Highness, there are already rumors going around at the palace, so how can you joke like this?" "Rumors?" "What rumors?" "You keep the Queen far away and keep Woon close to you, so you must be homo" "Man..." "A man among men?" "No matter what the rumors are, please don't joke about Woon in such a way again." "Then," "Hyung Sun, do you want to come in?" "H- herbs," "I will go check if they are ready." "Finally, we're alone." "It can't be true." "It can't be." "It can't be." "I have served His Highness for many years!" "Then, did his preference change?" "Oh my." "My heart is pounding, my legs are trembling." "What is the reason?" "I don't know what to say." "Do you have to use the restroom?" "Why are you as nervous as a pup who has left its mother?" "His Excellency, Prince Yang Myung." "Your Highness," "Prince Yang Myung wishes to see you." "Your Highness" "Your Highness" "Your Highness!" "What is wrong?" "I can hear Hyung Sun's piercing screams all the way here." "The scene from the procession and this one are completely different." "Please give me some money." "Please give me some money." "Lord, please give me some money." "Please give me some money." "Lord." "Lord." "I'm sorry, Lord." "I'm sorry." "Where are you going in such a hurry?" "My sister is home alone, so I was taking this to her." "Do you have no parents?" "My mother passed away two years ago because of a plague and my father was forced to the go build the Booming House a month ago." "But I don't know what happened after that." "Are you sure it's the Booming House?" "What is your father's name?" "He is Pi Han Dol, who lives at Oh Nyang Yang Gi Gol." "Everyone knows him." "I will find your father and send him home for sure, so until then, take good care of your sister." "This kid, you don't trust me." "Even though I look like this, I hold a pretty high position." "Thank you, lord." "Thank you." "Your Highness." "What is it?" "There's a spy." "I know." "He's probably a present from the prime minister." "Woon." "Yes, Your Highness." "He put in a lot of effort following us this far, so shall we play with him?" "We think have lost him." "I wonder what he is going to say to the prime minister." "Are they secretly training soldiers?" "Are they meeting with senior ministers to gather power?" "They're probably dying from anxiety." "I believe it will be better if we stop our patrolling here." "Yes." "I believe so too." "It's Yeon Woo." "Yeon Woo will come down." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "If two people are destined to meet, they will meet eventually." "There is no stronger magic than the longing." "Is that why you called me here today when His Highness was visiting our village?" "His Highness's illness is serious." "The person who is supposed to protect him is living another life, so there is no improvement in his health." "Are you thinking of having the two fulfill their destinies?" "It's not something a person can do." "The heavens control this." "It's a destiny that cannot be blocked even if you tried." "You know that well also, don't you?" "Their fate has ended once already." "You could not end their longing." "Miss has lost her memories of her past." "So, she harbors no longing in her heart." "Those memories will return one day." "This will lead to bloodshed." "It's an inverse act of fate, so the price has to be paid." "She will fall again into a cruel fate." "How can we make her go through that pain twice?" "Miss, what are you thinking about?" "Seol." "I figured it out." "What?" "What did you figure out?" "The owner of the memories from before." "Those are his memories." "What?" "I was able to read his memories and pain." "Don't you get it?" "I now have the spiritual power." "Now, I have become a real shaman." "Um, miss, to say that is 100% spiritual power is a bit..." "Where are you going?" "The mistress is taking too long," "I have to go out and see." "Let's go together, miss." "It seems we've lost our way because of the thick fog." "Since before, we've been walking around in circles." "I'm sorry." "What do you have to be sorry for?" "It's because of my vision that we're lost." "Isn't that the moon?" "I have been waiting for you." "Why are you coming now?" "Miss, do you not know who those people are?" "It seems as if they were taking a private walk, so let's pretend we don't know." "Then, you brought them here knowing who they were?" "Then, they were obviously lost, but should I have ignored them and come?" "You were told to avoid strangers by the mistress." "She never said to chase away people who needed help." "The alcohol will help melt away the cold." "Because there is only one owner to this house," "I could not prepare another for you." "Please forgive me." "Though it is a humble home, please rest before you are on your way." "Who is the original owner of this table?" "In the rain, who were you waiting for?" "Is there" "someone you are waiting for?" "The mistress." "I was waiting for the mistress who has gone out." "If you have nothing further to ask, I will" "Did you say you were a shaman?" "That is correct." "Is this really what a room of a shaman looks like?" "Or do you have unusual hobbies?" "Are all the books on the shelves yours?" "That is correct." "A shaman who reads the Classics." "It is definitely a noble hobby, but what is the use of a shaman to read Confucius classics?" "It is just to understand the world a little better." "That's why I read them." "You read to understand the world better?" "Even if you understand the world, what is it to you?" "Although I am just a shaman," "I do not read for personal interests, but to help others." "Also, by reading the words of the past writers," "I try to understand the joys of the world." "I cannot stop." "A noble man does not resent the heavens and does not blame the people." "A shaman who reads the Classics." "A farmer does not blame the fields." "A musician does not blame his instruments." "This cannot be." "There's no way for a dead girl to be alive." "She is just someone who resembles her." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "This is a dream." "This is an illusion." "My dream has become reality and is deceiving me." "Have a drink as well." "It's alright, so drink." "Didn't you get in the rain as well?" "You are really disloyal." "You don't know who I am or what I may have put into the wine, so why do you refuse to taste it?" "[Gimi:" "To taste food before the king for any problems.]" "Are you only going to escort him with your sword?" "How did you know?" "What are talking about?" "How do you that I am the king of this country?" "Even as a soul, did you want to see His Highness?" "Even though you did not come back to see me, it was good to see you." "However, in the next life, please look at me first." "Have you seen me before?" "I am just an ordinary shaman." "There's no way for our paths to have crossed." "That's a lie." "How could I dare to lie to His Highness?" "Then, are you really only a shaman?" "As a child, after receiving the spiritual power," "I have lived as a shaman." "If you don't call a person who received the spiritual power as a shaman, then what would you call her?" "Then how did you know that I was the King of this country?" "That's because..." "Tell me immediately!" "Please forgive me, but I saw Your Highness earlier on your procession." "Woon." "Please give me your order." "The rain has stopped." "It is time for us to go back." "What is your name?" "I'm sorry, but" "I do not have a name." "Even if you're a shaman, do you mean to tell me you have no name?" "Because she did not want me to be bound by fate, the mistress did not give me a name." "People just call me baby." "Because she did not want you to be bound by fate, you were not given a name." "This brief encounter is fate as well." "I will name you" "Wol." "For your warm drink, think of that as my repayment." "Wol." "Did you hear?" "I now too have a name." "Your Highness, how can you do this?" "Do you want to see me..." "I do not want to see you die, so there is no need to say anymore." "How exactly did you protect His Highness " "He protected me well, which is why I returned safely," "Have you been well all these years?" "Why are you here?" "After being gone for years, you are asking about my well-being?" "You are still very good-looking." "Woon, I told you to come here and sit as well." "Please pay no heed to me." "Just give up." "While working, he is someone who will not touch a drop of alcohol." "Then, do you want make a bet with me?" "A bet?" "The person who makes Woon drink first will hear the other's wish." "Did you hear?" "Before I get angry, come here and sit." "After I receive gold and treasures from His Highness," "I will give you half." "Look at him." "He is definitely someone who has no cuteness." "Woon." "Please give me your order." "Come and drink." "It's an order." "Hyungnim." "Yes," "I lost." "I will do anything you ask of me." "Do you still" "keep that child in your heart?" "Please answer me." "Your Highness." "Didn't you lose the bet?" "I am asking for your answer right now." "Even if I still have her in my heart, isn't she already dead?" "Just as I am about to forget, I miss her." "There are times when I can forget her completely, that's a person's heart." "I do not want to forget or miss her." "I just remember that she is not in this world." "That's all I keep in my heart." "Only remember that she is not in this world." "I see." "While I was out of the palace, the ministers have worked hard." "Especially Minister Noh who was remarkable." "Although it is inadequate, in order to lessen your work, while not sleeping, we handled the issues." "I agree." "It's inadequate." "It is very inadequate." "Why didn't you just sleep?" "Especially this part," "This part about the construction of the house." "There has been already an additional three thousand coal added, but that's still not enough, you want to receive next year's payment in advance?" "Did you request this so the citizens can die?" "Although it may be hard now, the construction is urgent." "What is so urgent about it?" "It is a pavilion that the Queen really cherishes." "If it is possible, to match the Queen's birthday next year, we are trying to shorten the construction time." "Oh, so the birthday present is more important than the lives of the citizens?" "This matter has already been permitted by His Highness." "I did, but" "I did not permit you to force unpaid labor onto the people during the severe winter." "Don't even leave out the father of starving children and take every last one." "Did I ever give that order?" "But Your Highness, the size of the construction is large, so manpower" "But the thing that I'm most curious about is what was all that charcoal used for?" "There are more than two hundred people working on this project, but where have all those people gone to?" "That's what I'm asking." "Before leaving this hall, compile a list of names of the construction workers, the progress of the construction and funding details as detailed as possible and submit it to me." "After I meticulously review it," "I will seek who is responsible tomorrow." "Did you ask for me?" "How many years has it been since you have returned to Seongsucheong?" "What?" "I'm asking how many years it has been since you have taken over for shaman Jang." "Next year will be my 8th year." "I am thinking of a chance to make you the head shaman of Seongsucheong." "I will not forget Your Excellency's generosity." "Whatever order it is, just tell it to me." "But, it seems as you are not in the least worried about His Highness's health." "I heard that he is without any problems..." "Am I incorrect?" "That is why I am worried." "When he needs to be healthy, he is ill." "When he needs to be ill, he is healthy." "While the king was away from the palace," "I buried a talisman there." "When you give the order, you will be able to see immediate effects." "Tomorrow when I think about visiting the unwell Highness," "I am already becoming worried." "I am just an ordinary shaman." "There's no way for our paths to have crossed." "Your Highness," "It is Hyung Sun." "Come in." "Your Highness," "Her Majesty the Queen seeks an audience." "Have you already forgotten the order to not let anyone in?" "Your Highness, please." "Your Highness." "Let her in." "Escort her in." "Quickly." "Welcome, Queen." "Are you well?" "As you can see, I am perfectly well." "At so late a time, what brings the Queen here?" "What did you just say?" "I told you to take a royal concubine." "You wish to be a strong monarch, more than anyone." "A king without a successor is just the same as building a home on sand." "Please have an heir and solidify your legacy." "Queen" "I simply am unable to face the queens." "It does not matter if it's a concubine." "Take a royal concubine and have an heir." "Are you telling the truth?" "As the mother of this country, how can I be swayed by my personal feelings?" "Indeed." "I understand why you receive so much love from everyone now." "I didn't see how far-sighted you were." "Because of me, how much you must have suffered until now?" "I'll do as you wish." "Tomorrow at the hall," "I will talk to the ministers about a royal concubine." "Your Highness." "Queen." "Yes, Your Highness." "You know, I really hate your hypocrisy." "Saying words that you do not mean to gain sympathy" "I hate your pretense as well." "If you are done saying what you planned to say, go back and rest." "It's very late." "Until when do you plan on keeping a dead person in your heart?" "Where a living person should be, how can a dead person occupy your heart?" "In your eyes, are you unable to see my heart?" "For how long?" "How much longer before I can treat a dead person as my rival for your love?" "Your Highness, when will you be able to see me as your woman?" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Hello?" "Is anyone out there?" "Your Highness!" "Go tell the doctor." "Quickly!" "Yes." " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" "Fortunately, he is stable." "Why is that whenever he is with the Queen that these things occur?" "I'm sorry." "Because the Royal Doctor does not know the cause of the illness," "I was frustrated and without thinking..." "If it cannot be cured by a person, then we need to use the God's power." "When you say the God's power..." "We need to bring back Shaman Jang back." "Seongsucheong already has another state shaman, isn't there?" "She is just a temporary head, isn't she?" "The fact that the King's health has become like this is because she is lacking skills." "In all of Joseon, there is no other shaman who is as powerful as shaman Jang." "If it is her, she will be able to not only cure the King, but also dissipate the hatred" "between His Highness and the Queen." "Go look for that girl." "Something about her eyes is bothering me." "Your Highness." "Definitely, she is hiding something from me." "I have to find her, and confirm with her." "The house is already empty." "Please let it go." "You said you have never seen that girl before, right?" "They look alike." "If she were alive, she would like exactly like that." "These eyes!" "Eyes that are as swollen as chestnuts" "What am I to do with these eyes!" "What are you going to do about these eyes?" "You did not stop crying until you fell asleep, so it's only natural that they'll be like that." "What were you doing while my eyes became like this, Court Lady Min." "I told you repeatedly to stop, but it was you who chose not to listen, Princess." "You should have stopped me." "More, you should have stopped me more!" "You should have stopped me until the end." "I understand." "I committed a crime that deserves death, so stop looking at this." "It's all over now." "What?" "If my husband sees this face, he will hate it, right?" "He will hate me, right?" "I will be abandoned, right?" "I will be chased out, right?" "I will walk in the streets and get sick and die, right?" "Princess, your imagination is out of control." "I never received true love." "I will never get to hold a baby who resembles my husband." "I will become a pitiful wife who leaves after guarding this empty room by herself." "Please forgive me, husband." "What's wrong, princess?" "Why do you keep forgetting about the date that was set?" "Think about it." "As a woman, do you think it was easy for her to bring up sleeping together?" "The princess who only looks at you, don't you feel any pity for her?" "I'm sorry." "I was reading late at night and eventually..." "How can you be so similar to your late father?" "Perhaps, are you intentionally avoiding her?" "No, I'm not." "Then, why do you always make the princess lonely?" "The princess is still young and it hasn't been long since the three years of mourning for father has passed." "That is only because the Princess's face looks young." "She is already at an age where she should have a child of her own." "But she is still immature..." "She is a woman." "Don't treat her as a younger sister." "You are a married couple." "You are not related as siblings, correct?" "For our family, she is someone who has done so much." "Your father, as well, until the day he died, told us to never forget Princess's kindness to our family." "I will take your advice into heed, so please do not worry." "Mistress, I haven't seen Seol since the morning." "I will go out and look for her." "If it's Seol, we know where she will be." "She will come back when it's time, so don't think of going out and stay inside." "Jan Sil." "What is it?" "Take unni and go to the room..." "State Shaman Jang!" "Jan Sil, how much longer are you going to be idle for?" "Let us go to the side room." "Mistress, we'll be borrowing the side room." "I had to read the direction..." "[Moon Ji Bang:" "Professor of Geography]" "The astronomy professor had to read the heavens," "[Oh Hye Sung:" "Professor of Astronomy] and after the life science professor had to fortune tell," "[Na Dae Gil:" "Professor of Life Sciences] we barely found you." "Do you know how much trouble it was for us?" "What is the reason you went to such great lengths to find a nobody like me?" "We came because of an order from the Queen Dowager..." "For you to return to your position in Seongsucheong." "Isn't Seongsucheong doing well with the temporarily head shaman?" "Doing well my ass." "His Highness's illness is getting worse as the days go by." "As the state shaman, are you just going to stand on the sidelines?" "My skills have already become depleted." "You are probably turning away the calls of God." "Recently, the heavens have changed their course of motion." "Sirius has become dark, and the moon has become a deep red." "A few days ago, it turned brown." "We urgently need your help." "The Queen Dowager ordered us to bring you back no matter what." "Why else would those forbidden to leave the palace, the professors come ourselves to get you?" "No matter how many times you tell me, my answer is the same." "I'm disgusted of the scholars who try to eliminate Seongsucheong whenever they can," "I want to rest now." "The girl in the next room is your successor, the one you registered under your name a few years ago at Seongsucheong, right?" "I will go see the Queen Dowager in a few days, and tell her my intentions," "so for today, please go back." "Goodness." "Did she boil a beef tendon and eat it?" "She is as stubborn as one." "I'm worried about facing the Queen Dowager with this news." "We can't go back empty-handed when we have come all the way here." "What?" "Hey, you there!" "Yes, sir." "If she's not here also, where in the world did she go?" "Did my spiritual power disappear in that short time?" "Then..." "What exactly did I see the other day?" "In the past, have you met me?" "Who are you?" "Let's go." "Whose memories are these?"
