"You didn't need to come out to see me off." "Then, have a safe journey." "You..." "You won't suddenly disappear without telling me?" "You won't, right?" "Even if I really wanted to, where would I go?" "That's right." "You're a criminal now." "You're a criminal and also Shaman Wol." "Aren't you going too far?" "No." "What I'm saying is that because you're a criminal and Shaman Wol," "I feel extremely happy." "Go back in and rest." "Bloodthirsty..." "Yeon U..." "Yeon U..." "Can this be real?" "What do you mean?" "This isn't an illusion?" "Is it really... you, Your Majesty?" "This isn't an illusion." "It really is me... who's come to find you, Yeon U." "I actually only now recognize you." "I really am indeed a fool." "Hyeongnim..." "(Hyeongnim - respected older brother)" "Lord Yang Myeong." "Hyeongnim..." "I'm fine." "Where are we going?" "Where are we going now?" "Your Excellency." "There's a small thatched cottage to the west." "In a time of crisis, the plan was to escape there with agassi." "(Agassi - young lady)" "Did you let that girl get away again?" "It was because the King and his bodyguard, Un, appeared." "In addition," "Prince Yang Myeong also appeared, and helped the girl escape." "No matter how, that girl must be caught." "Also, the Head Shaman of the Celestial Hall, quietly get rid of her." "You..." "In the case of the Crown Princess' situation, you are the sole witness." "Untilthematterisfullyresolved, youmust hide... this is a royal order." "First,findaplacewhereyoucanremain hidden." "When you are summoned you must return immediately." "Butif, yourunaway, or commit suicide, then the dire consequences will be unavoidable." "Eonni, where are you going?" "(Eonni - older sister)" "Eonni, let's go together." "Don't bother." "Where can that girl go?" "But, what if she never comes back?" "She'll come back." "Don't worry, just come with me." "Your Majesty!" "Quickly, call the Royal Physician." "There is no need!" "Today, everything that has happened must remain a secret." "But Your Majesty." "YunDaeHyeong." "(Hyeong - older brother)" "Hyeongnim." "Prince Yang Myeong." "Prince Yang Myeong." "Mother." " Prince Yang Myeong!" " Your Excellency." "I'm not sure who you are, but first could you help me take him inside?" "Of course." "Prince Yang Myeong." "Your Excellency." "Prince Yang Myeong." "I'mthedaughterofChiefScholarHeoYeongJae, of the Office of Special Advisors." "Heo Yeon U, greets Your Majesty." "You... are the Chief Scholar's... daughter?" "That's right." "What... what's wrong?" "Why?" "Why must you... be drawn to a love that will give you such heartache?" "As for how you managed to survive, the specific details," "I won't inquire further." "But," "I can probably guess." "Prince Yang Myeong came to find me once and asked whether reincarnation existed." "His title, his reputation, his wealth." "He was willing to give up all of these things." "But there's one person he said he could never give up." "Perhaps he wanted to show me the woman that moved his heart, and what type of person she is." "For the sake of an undeserving mother like me, he dragged his wounded body to come here." "They weren't at the temple?" "That's right." "Come with me." "Everything has been prepared as you ordered." "Everyone, apart from the king's attendant, leave." "Un, hand over your sword." "Your..." "Majesty!" "Why are you doing this?" "Please take off your clothes." "Really, you are no fun at all." "When you're facing a sword, you should at least show that you're afraid." "I was just joking." "Your Majesty." "Why are you always like this?" "I was scared out of my wits." "Searching all night in the cold, must have been very tiring." "Get in." "I've had it prepared especially for you." "As your servant, I cannot get in." "Quickly get in." "It's a royal order." "Your Majesty." "Defying a royal order is disloyal." "Passing your body odor to me is also disloyal." "And also... wavering between myself and Hyeongnim, is treason." "Look after Un's sword." "If he comes out within half an hour, use this sword to slay him." "Your Majesty." "Un, although I'm unable to grant you a higher position," "I cherish you above all others." "Therefore, don't fall ill." "Because what's troubling you, will be passed on to me." "What type of tree does this come from?" "That's... from a Sandalwood Tree." "You're awake." "I'm going to ask if breakfast is ready." "Are you... feeling better?" "I... thought you'd already left." "I wanted to see you before I leave." "I've been waiting for you to wake up." "Shall we go for a walk?" "Yes." "How long have you known?" "Perhaps... it was the problem solving stone." "Not knowing is even more strange, isn't it?" "The problem solving stone is what I called it when I gave it to you." "So, the only one who knows the name is you." "Then why pretend not to know?" "Because I didn't want to know." "Originally, as far as possible, I always pretended I didn't want to know." "Seeing that you were alive, I was very happy." "But, if I had acknowledged the truth... everything would have drifted away like a mirage." "Do you know the feeling?" "When you open your eyes in the morning, there's a place you can go to... where there are things to do, people who need me, and being able to see the person I longed to see." "I was really very happy." "I also... was very happy." "Every time the road ahead seemed dark and when it seemed there was no hope," "Prince Yang Myeong became my ray of light." "Thanks to you," "I could temporarily set aside my troubles and smile happily." "Whether I was Shaman Wol, or back then Heo Yeon U," "I was always extremely grateful to you." "And also, always... extremely sorry." "But, I still can't give Your Excellency, the answer you are hoping for." "So, please be free... to meet someone else, and find happiness." "This is all I can give you, Your Excellency." "Sincerity." "So, please look after yourself." "In your past life, you were His Majesty's person." "In this life, can't you just stay by my side?" "Absolutely not!" "Escort Lady Yeon U away." "Hyeongnim, do you know what you've just done?" "Running away with the King's woman, is treason." "Do you intend to punish me as a traitor?" "If I want to take your life, I can use the power of the nation's law." "Then what's this about?" "I'm giving you the opportunity to take the King's head, hyeongnim." "The sword in your hand... is real." "If you take my head now, you'll become the King of this country, hyeongnim." "You think that by becoming the King you can have everything you desire?" "If I take the title of King, at least I won't be called a traitor." "Then, with your own hands..." "Why are you hesitating?" "I told you to take off my head!" "Hyeongnim, you've wasted your opportunity today." "In future, don't again look for another chance." "Did you get enough rest?" "Yes." "May I ask you a question?" "Please ask." "Do you feel that you have been brought here against your will?" "If I was unwiling, would you allow me to leave?" "My heart belonged to Your Majesty long ago." "What are you feeling anxious about?" "May I, open the door?" "As you wish." "Open it." "Come closer." "A little closer." "Please don't be like this." "Everybody leave." "Yeon U..." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Yeon U..." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Yeon U, Yeon U!" "My heart belonged to Your Majesty long ago." "What are you feeling anxious about?" "Your Majesty, where are you going?" "I'm going back to my quarters to take a rest." "Do you have anything to tell me?" "I heard that you left the palace in disguise not long ago and encountered some trouble." "Your Majesty is well?" "It's really strange..." "Those who knew I left the palace in disguise were only myself, and those assassins." "Minister Yun, how can you know?" "As a Minister, it's my duty to know about everything that affects you." "To understand Your Majesty's every movement... is the duty of a Minister." "Anyway, thank you for your concern." "Right, I heard that you like hunting, Minister Yun." "Why do you ask such a question?" "Isn't there a military competition coming up?" "On that day, I would like to learn some hunting techniques from you Minister Yun." "Would you teach me some tricks?" "I don't have any special tricks or skills, only focusing on the target." "Never giving up on my target might be considered my special skill." "First, you need to determine the prey." "Pursue it closely and don't give up, until you finally capture and then kill your prey." "Ah, I will keep that in mind." "What are you doing?" "I'm reading a book." "When I asked a while ago, didn't you say the same thing as well?" "Aren't you bored with it?" "I'm not bored." "So Your Majesty, please just concentrate on the affairs of state." "What book are you reading?" "I am reading 'Han Bi Ja'." "(Han Bi Ja" " A Chinese philosopher)" "Is that book very interesting?" "Yes, it's interesting." "Your Majesty." "Is that book so interesting that you didn't even notice me coming in?" "When did you... enter?" "After not seeing me for 8 years, can't I even compare with Han Bi Ja?" "Could it be that you're jealous of Han Bi Ja?" "Ha, jealous?" "I just feel like I've been cheated, that's all." "How do you feel cheated?" "Over the past 8 years, I... have never loved another woman, not even once." "I lived in a palace full of flowers." "In order to protect my innocence, do you know how much willpower and physical strength it took?" "Do you need physical strength to protect your innocence?" "Of course!" "How can you understand the sleepless nights of a hot blooded man?" "Exercising is necessary." "Absolutely necessary!" "But..." "Your Majesty, you said that you've never loved another woman." "It's a lie, isn't it?" "A lie?" "Whom did I shift my affections to?" "To Shaman Wol, who guarded you every night." "Wasn't your heart swayed?" "No, it wasn't!" "It's true that I was temporarily confused." "But..." "No, wait a moment..." "Aren't you Wol?" "Anyway, your heart swayed for Wol and not me." "It is obvious that your heart swayed." "Why are you laughing?" "Are you jealous?" "Jealous?" "No, I'm not." "Why do you keep laughing?" "It's surprising that you're jealous of yourself." "Isn't it very amusing?" "I said that I wasn't." "Why are you like this?" "Anyway, I want to continue reading." "Your Majesty, please continue reading your documents." "It's really funny that you're jealous of yourself." "But, for me to fall for the same girl twice, it can't be regarded as ordinary." "That girl is still alive." "How is that possible?" "A child that died and was buried 8 years ago." "How can she be... 8 years ago, why did you trust me and let me cast that curse?" "How did you decide who that curse would be directed at?" "Nok Yeong..." "How dare you..." "How dare you..." "His Majesty probably knows where they are." "How would His Majesty know where they are?" "Ever since His Majesty summoned Shaman Jang to the King's Quarters, and since the girl was sent to the Infirmary, they've vanished without trace." "What does this mean?" "It's obvious that His Majesty has hidden them at another place." "It's certainly like that." "But, if His Majesty knows the whole truth, why has he not taken any action?" "Does this mean that His Majesty has decided to cover up the true facts?" "It's possible that he's waiting for an opportunity." "Otherwise, it could be that he hasn't found out the whole truth just yet." "Regardless of conjecture, we should quickly find those two people, and silence them." "Even if the King knows those events of 8 years ago like the back of his hand, if the two people who could bear witness to the truth are no longer in this world," "the truth... will be buried forever." "Inform His Majesty." "Your Majesty!" "Great Queen Dowager has come!" "Your..." "Majesty!" " Great..." "Queen..." " Hurry up and open the doors." "I'm in the middle of exercising." "What brings you here, Grandmother?" "Ihavesomethingto say to Your Majesty." "Whydidn'tyousummon me then?" "Your Majesty." "Yes, Grandmother." "When Shaman Wol was in prison, I saved her life." "Do you remember?" "How could I forget?" "Of course I remember." "So, you promised that in the future you would repay this favor, and that you would grant me a request." "Do you still remember that promise?" "I didn't forget." "Then today," "I've come to make that request." "What exactly is the request?" "Please speak directly." "Please find Celestial Hall's Head Shaman Jang and her spiritual daughter," "and hand them over to me." "Why do you want me to look for them?" "That, of course, is because I know Your Majesty has been hiding them." "Why do you think that?" "Why would you like to find those two people..." "You're currently investigating that matter from 8 years ago." "About this matter... please stop." "Please let the matter rest." "Eight years ago, do you remember what I said to you?" "You don't need to do anything, just keep things as they are." "The former king had a reason to bury this matter." "You have that same reason." "Just what exactly, are you trying to hide?" "Naturally," "I'm trying to hide what you're looking for." "Why do you want to hide it?" "It's all for Your Majesty." "Let me say it more clearly." "It's to protect Your Majesty and those people that you cherish." "If it's someone I cherish, who are you referring to?" "Naturally, you should already know." "I would ask you to reconsider." "Who is the one that you want to protect the most?" "Fine." "Now for my request." "Can you please give me an answer?" "Why can't you give an answer?" "Your word is as good as gold." "That's what you promised me." "Of course, I will grant your request." "But, it will take some time to find them." "If you believe in me, wait patiently." "I'll make sure that you meet them again." "So please don't worry." "However, this will be in court, with witnesses and a victim." "And you, will be the perpetrator." "Orabeoni." "(Orabeoni - older brother)" "I was ordered by the King to secretly investigate the death of the Crown Princess 8 years ago." "Yeon U is on the verge of death." "How can you tell me to leave?" "If I can't even protect my sister,  what use will I be to the Crown Prince?" "Yeon U." "Who is it?" "Why are you spying on me?" "If you don't show yourself" "I will raise the alarm." "Who are you?" "It's your servant Seol, Young Master." "Seol?" "Ah, weren't you the child who attended to Yeon U?" "Yes, Young Master." "Then why didn't you come through the gate instead of sneaking in like a stray cat?" "I was just..." "I was passing by and stopped on a whim." "Besides, it's already very late." "That's fine." "What have you been doing all this time?" "I'm still a slave, but I do have a very good master." "I am living well, Young Master." "Well, since you are no longer with us," "I'm no longer your young master." "But in my heart you will always be my young master." "Just like that time when you gave me the name Seol." "Why are you staring at me?" "Is there something you want to say?" "Yeom, what are you doing out here?" "Mother, look." "It's the girl who used to attend to Yeon U..." "I thought I heard you speaking to someone." "Did someone come?" "It's nothing." "Mother, why did you come out here?" "Since we came back from your father's grave, the Princess has already been sick for several days." "I was thinking of taking her to the palace tomorrow and have her see the Royal Physician." "Yeom, what do you think about that?" "So, would you like me to take her?" "There's no need." "I've had a letter from the Queen Dowager for quite some time now." "so I will go." "Yes, we'll do it that way." "I was just about to go and see the Princess." "Would you like to come with me?" "Yes, Mother." "I'll go with you." "Theformerkinghad a reason to bury this matter." "Youhavethatsamereason." "It'sallforYourMajesty." "Letmesayitmore clearly." "It'stoprotectYourMajestyand those people that you cherish." "YourMajesty." "Your Majesty." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I was thinking about something." "It's very late, you should go to sleep." "Then how about you?" "Why are you not asleep?" "Because Your Majesty is still awake." "The whole day... you must have been bored in that tiny room." "I'm sorry." "I'm by Your Majesty's side." "I only want to be by your side." "Not only if it's in a small room like this, even if it's in hell, I would rush in without the slightest hesitation." "Let's go outside." "We can take advantage of the darkness and take a walk." "When I met you last time at the Secret Moon Pavilion, why didn't you tell me you had regained your memory?" "Why did you hide it from me?" "If you had only told me then..." "I didn't have the heart to say it." "Your Majesty already had the Queen by your side." "Is there something wrong?" "Your Majesty, did you have another nightmare?" "Something feels very strange." "What do you mean?" "I don't know since when, but I can't hear the cries coming from the Secret Moon Pavilion anymore." "This..." "I heard that the shaman from the Celestial Hall has used a talisman there." "Perhaps the spirit has disappeared?" "No." "You're wrong." "The owner of the Secret Moon Pavilion has returned to take it back." "Your Majesty." "Heo Yeon U, that child, must be somewhere inside the palace." "Your Majesty." "You must remain steadfast." "My father, tell my Father to make her disappear immediately..." "That's not right." "What if Father sees me in this state?" "He will surely be disappointed." "Court Lady Jo." "The servant from the King's chamber that we used that time, bring her here." "What?" "At this late hour?" "Why are you still standing there?" "I told you to call her here at once." "As a supposedly dead person who comes back to life," "I realize the impact and the confusion on the Royal Family and the Palace." "In addition, my foolishness in failing to recognize Your Majesty... how could I just confidently tell you that it was me?" "What kind of nonsense is this?" "It's my fault that you have suffered such misery." "You have endured great pain and the horrors of death." "I was powerless to do anything." "It was all my fault." "That's not what I mean." "For you not to forget an undeserving girl like me for 8 years," "I couldn't ask for any more." "So, I'm determined that for the rest of my days, even if Your Majesty forgets me," "I'll remember you even more and deeply miss you." "I absolutely won't forget the people that have brought you pain and suffering." "I'll certainly make them pay the price." "I'll clear those who are innocent, and return everything to its rightful place." "Your Majesty." "What happened in the past, is best left in the past." "If the former King wanted to conceal the truth, he must have had his reasons." ""I believe in you." "I believe you will uncover the truth."" "Didn't you once encourage me in this way?" "So why..." "I believe Your Majesty, but..." "I'm afraid that the truth will only hurt you." "I just want to remain by your side, I can't ask for more, so..." "Being in that little room with hardly any light, do you like it so much?" "Because I have the Sun by my side, I don't need any other light." "Where are we going, Your Majesty?" "This is..." "This is where the politics of the country are dealt with." "Here, I listen to the matters which concern the citizens." "I decide what should be done for the common people." "To this important place, why have you brought someone undeserving like me here?" "The day I first met you, you reminded me of what was wrong with the country's laws, and that the country's King should conduct himself with morality." "I was young and naive back then." "In the eyes of a child, everything in this world can become a problem, and everything in this world can also be an answer." "Your brother, who was also my teacher, this was the first lesson he gave me." "So, if this appears unreasonable in a child's eyes, clearly there's a problem." "Therefore, as the King, whenever I had to decide on certain things," "I would think of you and I would think of my teacher, and what they would have advised." "I would think like this." "Do you see that?" "When I was the Crown Prince, based on the meaning behind these Sun and Moon images, I had an artisan" "create a woman's hairpin." "I wanted to give it to you when I asked you to become my moon, as a token of my love when I asked you to marry me." "This phoenix hairpin, was originally one of a pair." "One of them has already been given to you." "The remaining one I wanted to give to you when you became my wife." "I wanted to give it to you here." "Your Majesty." "Your personal belongings from the Infirmary have been brought here." "Today..." "The two can finally become one."
