"SRT softsub created by Ahoxan on:" "Sun Jul 31 22:23:11 2011" "One of us two will see the blood." "I, Kim Jong Seo, am not afraid of death." "Sooyang, I won't forgive you even from my grave!" "Father!" "Isn't Grand Prince Sooyang asking for the marriage of his daughter to Seung Yoo?" "I am eagerly awaiting your response to our marriage proposal, Your Excellency." "Her Royal Highness!" "Don't you by any chance want to go outside the palace?" "Outside the palace?" "What about my lesson?" "I will go in your place." "I have to see him with my own eyes." "Professor Kim Seung Yoo is supposedly my future husband." "I shall choose the Second State Councilor's son Kim Seung Yoo as my son-in-law." "Have you chosen Your Majesty over me?" "He held not my but Hyung-nim's hands." "You just have to cut him out." "Kim Seung Yoo won't be able to return alive." "The only one who can protect the Crown Prince is Kim Jong Seo." "The marriage proposal your father made to the Second State Councilor has already been rejected." "Don't ever see him again!" "Father." "What do you think, Bum Ong, about our becoming in-laws?" "A man had a woman's norigae in his possession..." "I shall find out." "EPISODE 4 But hurry and tell the truth to Seung Yoo." "Yeo Ri!" "Yes." "I need to get ready to go to the palace." "How did you know?" "A message that the princess wants to see you has been here since dawn." "I broke the promise of never seeing him again." "I already know it." "I will readily receive the punishment for deceiving you." "What use is punishing you?" "For the first time, I thought that it would be good to be married... if to him." "What are you saying?" "If Your Highness would, with your big heart, allow me, I would like to personally apologize to the teacher for my lies." "Apology?" "This is the last time." "Please let me see him just once more." "When it comes to coveting what belongs to others, you're no different from your father." "Why are you saying such things?" "Wait in the next room for a while." "Now you do not even do the courtesy of greeting your teacher?" "You are even distancing yourself from a man?" "Do you hate my sight that much?" "Why don't you answer me?" "Is something the matter?" "Your Highness!" "Who are you?" "The one you are gazing upon now is the princess." "How dare a lady-in-waiting... !" "Even though there was a happening, I am Princess Kyung Hye." "If this is a joke, stop it." "The princess I serve is not the one sitting over there." "If you find it so hard to believe me, why don't you accompany me to see Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?" "Your words... are they the truth?" "Who was the one I've been seeing?" "I am asking you who she was!" "To explore the world outside the palace," "I made a lady-in-waiting take my place." "A lady-in-waiting?" "I did not know a little play would turn into such a big lie." "A play?" "Are you saying you've been playing with me all this time?" "There was an unavoidable reason." "Please try to understand." "I will forget about what happened between you and that girl." "So, please do not think of her any longer." "Professor Kim, you and I... must go through with this wedding." "As to the reason why, you know it well yourself." "Do not even think about looking for her." "I already sent her away from the palace." "Is this why you called me here?" "Didn't you hear with your own ears?" "Even if you had not done this, I did not have any mind to try something with him." "All I wanted was a chance to apologize." "You would have used it as a chance to get closer to him rather than to apologize to him." "Your Royal Highness!" "I need him not because of love, which is a luxury I can't afford." "It's because I have to protect myself and the Crown Prince from your father who eyes the throne at every given opportunity." "What do you mean he's eyeing the throne?" "Are you saying my father will harm you and the Crown Prince who are his niece and nephew?" "Except you and me, the whole world knows about it." "My father is not that kind of person." "If you don't believe me, ask him yourself." "Were you such a cold person?" "Better than your father who pretends to be warm." "Why did the princess summon you?" "Since the lessons were discontinued," "I guess she must have missed him desperately." "Did you go to reaffirm your love?" "You look beside yourself, just like the time when Professor Yom came face to face with the princess." "Uh huh!" "I told you it was because Her Highness deliberately made me lift up the curtain." "It wasn't by my will." "Why is he acting like that?" "Raise the curtain." "I said raise the curtain." "Why, Miss?" "Halt for a moment." "Halt." "Do you feel queasy?" "I have to stop by somewhere." "You go on first." "Where are you going this time?" "Let us go together." "Yeo Ri..." "Do you really want to see me beaten to death by My Lady?" "You can never go by yourself!" "Okay?" "Go on first." "Why are you like this lately?" "Agasshi!" "Agasshi!" "Thanks to you, the marketplace hoodlums have disappeared." "They are so grateful to you." "They disappeared temporarily." "But they will infest this place again in the near future." "I will not reduce the patrols." "How about the Inwang Dale area?" "Since Professor Kim got attacked there, no more bandits have been spotted." "Let's go and see." "Are you okay now?" "Yes." "How come you came to this dangerous place again?" "I tried to apologize to the teacher personally." "But I could not." "In my sadness, I walked on (and found myself here)." "You could not tell him the truth?" "There must have been an unavoidable reason." "When he finds out later, he will consider it so as well." "I have a favor to ask you." "Please tell me." "Some day, I want to apologize to him myself." "Until that day, please keep this a secret from him." "I will." "Let's go." "I will escort you." "No, it's okay." "This is a dangerous place for you to be alone." "We are here." "Thank you for your solicitude." "Please go inside." "What do you think, Bum Ong, about our...  becoming in-laws?" "My Lord!" "Why did you stay away for so long?" "Even if you come once in a while, as long as you only ask for me, Myung Wol..." "Leave." "My Lord." "Stop giving me heartaches." "Didn't I tell you to get out?" "How can you do this to me?" "Because I'm a gisaeng, do you think you can slight me?" "To explore the world outside the palace," "I made a lady-in-waiting take my place." "Doesn't a gisaeng have a heart?" "Why is he drinking in broad daylight?" "He's never done that before." "For sure, it's because of that b****!" "I should have known... from the time he was calling her princess and worshipping her." "Did he really call her that?" "I surely heard him!" "He was rather strange..." "Telling us that she was not the butt of our jokes, and demanding genteel clothes for her to wear." "Why would we have genteel clothes?" "If we were genteel, we would starve to death." "He went in saying he would give the clothes to her and came out only a long time later." "Did he personally dress her?" "HEY!" "Myung Wol!" "Myung Wol!" "Let's go together!" "Her Royal Highness Princess?" "Yes." "Are you saying the lass who was with Kim Seung Yoo was the princess?" "On top of it, they went to a gisaeng house together?" "Some gisaengs gave a rather detailed account of it." "Can the princess leave the palace at her will?" "How can we fully believe the gisaengs' words?" "If it is true, though, Kim Seung Yoo will not be able to survive this." "I will see if I can bribe someone from the princess' quarters." "You must be discreet about this." "Since the final selection is just around the corner, hurry up." "Yes." "What are you doing at this late hour?" "Go in." "Father." "Yes." "Umm..." "What is it?" "Tell me." "It's unlike you to hesitate." "Go on." "Do you, by any chance, have your heart set on the throne?" "The throne?" "It's a word that I fear even to utter." "Do you really mean to harm the Crown Prince and Princess?" "Where did you hear such a rumor?" "I cannot tell you." "Do you consider your father such a person?" "I do not care how the world looks at me." "Because it is full of people who want to malign members of the royal clan." "However, if even my children regard me so... your father will feel really hurt and sad." "Even at empty words of lunatics, a whole family can lose their lives in a moment." "That's the sad reality a royal clan member has to live with." "I am sorry." "That's alright." "How can you make such an unsightly scene when the final selection is tomorrow." "I am sorry, father." "Is something the matter?" "I do not know myself." "What?" "!" "How can you talk drunken drivel before Father?" "I will put him to bed." "Here, drink it." "How much did you drink, anyway?" "Brother-in-law." "This is the ceremonial robe for tomorrow." "For a punk who is going to be a nation's royal son-in-law... !" "Pay particular attention to your word and action." "Just because you're pre-selected, you must not show them any unguarded moments." "Yes." "On a smaller scale, a family is getting a new daughter-in-law." "But in the larger scheme of things, this is a happy event through whichour Kim clan will become related to the royal family." "Put your whole hearts into it and make proper preparations to welcome Her Highness." "Yes, Father." "Yes, Father." "Uncle, are you going to live in the palace?" "No." "Her Highness will come outside the palace." "Quickly, quickly, I want to meet Her Highness." "Are you going to school?" "Yes, Mother." "I heard that you do not even go near the stable now." "It is a relief." "I am sorry (for the past actions)." "Now," "I think you are ready for a marriage." "Your father has someone in mind." "Be on good, chaste behavior." "Why aren't you answering me?" "Yes." "Go back." "What?" "Young Master!" "Young Master!" "Where did she go?" "I want to speak to that lady-in-waiting in person." "I do not know." "What do you mean you don't know?" "You, who are the closest lady-in-waiting to Her Highness, do not know all the servants at the princess's quarters?" "I do not know where she removed herself to." "Are you saying she is inside the palace?" "Why are you so taken aback?" "What on earth are you hiding from me?" "What do you mean I'm hiding?" "I truly do not know." "If you do not know where she went, at least give me her name." "How can one, who has to go to the final selection shortly, be searching for another woman?" "Don't you know this will bring disgrace to Her Highness?" "Do you presume to admonish me?" "It is not that, but..." "One way or another," "I am going to find out." "If it becomes known... that she impersonated Her Highness, that lady-in-waiting... will lose her life." "Please do not worsen the situation." "What did he ask you?" "He was looking for the whereabouts of Miss Se Ryung." "What do you want to do, Your Highness?" "Where is Se Ryung?" "She must be at the Royal Academy." "Go and tell her... not to even cast her shadow within the palace for the time being." "This is the Royal Academy?" "!" "Eun Keum..." "How come you're out here?" "What are you doing here?" "For today, you shouldn't come here but go to the royal consort selection." "Your father...  has someone in mind." "How can I know from what you tell me?" "Please give it a careful thought, Lord Gatekeeper." "Around 3:30-5:30 p. m. on the day of the crescent moon, the litter passed here without even a maid in tow." "Do you know how many litters pass through here each day?" "How can I remember each one of them?" "She gave you one of the royal clan members' name." "Do you know how many royal clan members come and go from the Royal Academy?" "You personally let her pass." "Her face is as pale as the moon and her nose is well formed and... she has well defined lips." "If I kept stealing a look at the faces of high-class ladies who pass through here," "I would lose my neck." "If she opened the litter window," "I might have heard her voice." "I have to find her." "Please think back carefully." "By the way, why are you looking for her so desperately?" "Who is there?" "She's Grand Prince Sooyang's daughter." "Should I let her pass?" "What is your business here?" "She is on her way to the Royal Academy." "Let her pass." "Look here, Professor Kim!" "Are you just leaving?" "Just do a good job at the selection!" "Professor Kim Seung Yoo is supposedly my future husband." "I want to see him with my own eyes." "For the first time," "I thought that it would be good to be married... if to him." "Did you have a fight with the princess?" "A lady-in-waiting from her quarters came and said you're not to show your face in the palace for the time being." "Who is she to tell you to come and go?" "When the royal son-in-law is announced today," "Second State Councilor, you and I will become in-laws." "Please give much love to my less than perfect daughter, in-law." "Of course." "Grand Prince Sooyang's side is being suspiciously quiet." "I had Chief Scholar Shin Sook Joo keep a tight rein on them." "So they won't easily be able to try anything funny." "Your Majesty." "In my humble opinion, the wedding should be held as soon after the final selection as possible." "Since my health is in a poor way," "I guess we should." "I am sorry." "Your Majesty," "Prince Onnyung is urgently asking to see you." "Show him in." "What is it, Uncle Onnyung?" "Your Majesty, royal clan members including Grand Princes Sooyang and Anpyong are urgently asking to see you." "Please head to the Audience Room and listen to what they have to say." "At this point when the final selection is only a few hours away, what is their business?" "It's something you have to hear before the selection." "Professor Kim, you and I must go through with this wedding." "As to the reason why, you know it well yourself." "I will forget about what happened between you and that girl." "So, please do not think of her any longer." "Just because of that one girl..." "Why are you coming only now?" "When you're the only punk I know in this wide palace." "Dressed up like that, you don't look too bad." "Yeah, right?" "What turn of events is this?" "That I made it to the final round of the selection!" "I thought there was another punk named Jeong Jong besides me." "This Jeong Jong will show you a cataclysmic sight of me becoming the princess's royal consort." "Who is Professor Kim Seung Yoo of the Royal Academy?" "What is the reason you urgently sought me out?" "The marriage harmony forecasts between Her Royal Highness and the final candidates are ready." "Is something the matter?" "Even though this was a formality with the real royal-son-in-law-to-be already picked out, we cannot forthwith recommend a person who will bring a calamity to the royal family." "Bring a calamity?" "!" "Are you referring to Professor Kim Seung Yoo right now?" "Watch what you say!" "It's not the place for you to come forward, Minister of Military Affairs!" "That he will bring a calamity to the royal family..." "What do you mean?" "The marital harmony forecast between the princess and Kim Seung Yoo is... extremely ominous." "What on earth does the forecast look like?" "I am exceedingly sorry to report this, but the marital harmony forecast between the princess and Kim Seung Yoo is the picture of a fire scorching trees to death." "Scorch to death?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "The flames burn up a big tree and successively also consume a small tree." "It's an extremely terrifying prospect." "If Kim Seung Yoo is the fire, are you saying the princess is the big tree?" "That is so." "Then... what does the small tree signify?" "The small tree is..." "Report to him quickly." "The Crown Prince." "Where do you think you are to babble like that!" "Are you telling nothing but the truth?" "How can I dare to tell a lie before Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty." "In my humble opinion, a marriage that will bring woe to the future of the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness" "may not be allowed." "Your Majesty." "It is not a matter to be decided so lightly just upon the word of an astrologist." "Are you questioning the sacred marital harmony forecast right now?" "You!" "Can you swear on your life that the forecast you gave is true?" "Even if someone puts a sword to my neck, the marital harmony decided by the heavens cannot be changed." "Chief Scholar!" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Is the Researcher's word the indubitable truth?" "I am asking you whether it is really the truth!" "It is true." "Because I could not fully trust his word alone," "I verified with other researchers of the Office of Astrology." "All of them agreed with the forecast of Researcher Park." "Truly... ?" "Your Majesty, we cannot make an ominous person the royal son-in-law." "We have to eliminate Kim Seung Yoo and find another fitting candidate." "Even though marital harmony is extremely important in a wedding," "Kim Seung Yoo takes after his father and is an upright person..." "Can you take responsibility?" "Should something terrible happen to the Crown Prince in the future according to the forecast would you still be able to chatter like that?" "That's what I am asking." "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with Kim Seung Yoo?" "One must be judicious when it comes to selecting and discarding a man." "Whether to select or discard Kim Seung Yoo will be decided at the final selection." "Bring me the final candidates." "Yes!" "Your Majesty!" "What is it?" "Professor Kim Seung Yoo was dragged off to the Office of the Inspector General." "What?" "Let me go." "I said let me go!" "What is your reason for doing this?" "Let go of me!" "Why did you drag me all the way here?" "Are you the Royal Academy Professor Kim Seung Yoo?" "I am." "Have you ever taken Her Royal Highness to a gisaeng house?" "You seduced Her Royal Highness and... took her outside the palace and indulged in debauchery." "Someone reported you!" "There are undeniable witnesses and evidence." "You won't be able to get out of this easily!" "What did you just say?" "Professor Kim Seung Yoo lured the princess outside the palace..." "Tell me quickly!" "and stayed with her at a gisaeng house." "T..." "That rascal deserves to be beaten to death!" "Are you certain?" "I am sorry to tell you this, but there were quite a few gisaengs who witnessed this." "Your Majesty!" "Kim Seung Yoo who taunted the royal family deserves to die ten times." "Commit Kim Seung Yoo to the Royal Investigation Bureau and deal with him severely for the crime of humiliating the royal family." "DEAL WITH HIM SEVERELY!" "Bring me Kim Seung Yoo." "I will interrogate him personally." "Where are you going?" "Someone is being dragged off to be interrogated." "Who?" "We'll have to go and see to find out." "Didn't I warn you?" "If you cross me, even your children will lose their lives." "After his innocence is proven, my son will be freed." "And I will make you pay for this no matter what." "He took Her Royal Highness outside the palace and did things to her." "Isn't he afraid of His Majesty?" "What do you mean by that?" "Are you saying someone took the princess outside the palace?" "No!" "Isn't that Professor Kim?" "Oh!" "He will have a hard time getting out of this alive." "Unhand me just for a second!" "Give me the truth." "Is the report sent up by the Office of Inspector General true?" "Did you really lure the princess outside the palace and indulge in debauchery?" "No." "Are you trying to get out of this now?" "You have never lured her outside?" "It was not the princess." "If it was not Her Royal Highness, are you saying it was some other woman?" "Then, open your mouth now." "A way for you to get out of this alive may open up after all." "If it becomes known that she impersonated Her Highness, that lady-in-waiting will lose her life." "Be clear about what you say." "I have never indulged in debauchery." "That means, however, you have seen the princess outside the palace." "Is that what you mean?" "No, you can't." "I must see her." "Her Highness is not feeling well, Miss Se Ryung." "Get out of my way." "Move!" "Ahgasshi!" "Ahgasshi!" "Ahgasshi..." "Your Highness." "I told you not to even show your shadow within the palace." "How dare you..." "Your Highness, he..." "Teacher..." "You lured her outside the palace but nothing special happened?" "You rascal!" "You brought shame to Her Royal Highness and now you try to get out of this!" "Shaming her!" "That is not the case!" "T..." "That villain!" "Even after committing such a wicked offense!" "Your Majesty!" "How can I dare to lie in your presence?" "Please believe in the princess's and my innocence." "Never... was there any indecency between the princess and me." "Your word..." "Is it true?" "I swear... on my life." "Teacher is charged unjustly and suffering indignities because of me." "Someone must reveal the fact that he is innocent." "Your Highness, please let me in where he is being interrogated." "Once there, what can you do?" "Are you saying you'll reveal the whole truth about your masquerade as the princess?" "If I can save Teacher," "I will do it." "Saving or taking his life," "I shall do it." "Your Highness." "Where are you going?" "What on earth do you plan to do?" "You are innocent..." "Are you really innocent?" "Your Majesty!" "This is the letter by which Kim Seung Yoo harrassed Her Royal Highness." "Your Highness, the Princess." "I too had a good time yesterday." "Some day, what passed behind the bushes... even that will become a memory." "These are the tokens of the promise we made." "Please accept them with a glad heart." "Who wrote this letter?" "Was it you?" "How come you are not answering me?" "!" "I did write it." "However, Your Majesty," "That mouth!" "Won't you shut up!" "Your Majesty!" "A person who is a professor at the Royal Academy lured Her Royal Highness outside the palace and committed unspeakable debauchery." "Severely deal with him for the crime of humiliating the royal family, and behead him!" "Behead him!" "Show the stern will of the royal family!" "Show the stern will!" "I... shall..." "He is not to be blamed." "How can the princess come in here?" "I have something to say regarding Professor Kim." "This is not the place for the princess to come and interfere with!" "I met Professor Kim outside the palace." "However," "I left the palace of my own free will." "I was not lured out by Professor Kim." "Are you being this rude in order to defend him?" "I lead a caged life inside the palace." "I was curious about the outside world and wanted to see it." "Professor Kim whom I ran into outside the palace admonished me for my imprudent action." "He even saved me from danger." "Father," "I have never done anything for which I would be ashamed before you and the royal family." "If you want to punish my childish act of leaving the palace willfully" "I will gladly receive it." "However," "I will not overlook a dirty, slanderous accusation beyond that." "May we believe the truthfulness of your word?" "Are you disbelieving my word?" "If so, why don't you make me kneel down as well and interrogate me?" "Princess, leave for now." "Father!" "How much more shame do you want to bring to your father?" "Is this a place for you to enter and leave at will?" "Leave and repent your actions." "Eliminate Professor Kim Seung Yoo" "from the finalist list for the royal son-in-law." "Do not speak of this matter any longer." "Your Majesty!" "What are those?" "These are petitions asking you to put Professor Kim Seung Yoo to death." "Your Majesty." "Humiliating the royal family is a huge crime that cannot be pardoned." "Please put Kim Seung Yoo to death and severely deal with him for the crime." "Put him to death!" "Put him to death!" "Tomorrow..." "I shall discuss this again." "How did it go?" "What happened?" "I think it will be hard for him to survive this." "Didn't he reveal the truth about meeting some other woman than the princess?" "He did not mention you to the end." "When Professor Kim came by early this morning," "I made up something about your losing life if it becomes known that you impersonated the princess." "Maybe he didn't say anything because of that..." "Eun Keum..." "I have a favor to ask you." "Your Majesty, there are more petitions..." "Stop!" "Stop bringing them in here!" "Your Majesty, Second State Councilor Kim Jong Seo is asking to see you." "I do not wish to see him." "Never did I know that the Chief Scholar would make such a delightful move!" "Now, Kim Seung Yoo won't be able to avoid death!" "His crime is having been born a son to the wrong daddy!" "It is such a waste..." "Had he come under me," "I would have made him do grand things." "But you got the Chief Scholar's son in his place." "Compared to Kim Seung Yoo, he is equally good in every respect." "You're overpraising him." "Please hurry up." "I know the warden, so he will let you in briefly." "Thank you." "How did this come to pass..." "Are you hurt anywhere?" "When the day dawns, let it be known that the woman you met was me, not the princess." "That is the only way you can live." "How could you bring yourself in here?" "How much more heartache do you want to cause a man... ?" "Please tell them the truth." "In my place, are you saying you will die?" "I will be fine." "I was going to tell you before." "The truth is I..." "His Excellency!"
