- Eun Seong! Episode 18
Eun Seong!
Will you take the poison Grand Prince Jin Yang bestowed upon you?
Or will you take the sword wielded by Do Yeong Soo's son?
You bastards!
Letter of response from Grand Prince Jin Yang to Jurchen's Huligai Tribe, Chieftain Li Man Zhu.
Your Majesty, Grand Prince Yang Ahn has passed away.
He rejected the poison and ultimately took Do Jung Kook's sword.
Even though he is a criminal, have his tomb set up as royalty.
For my whole life, he was like a father to me.
He should at least be treated well on his final path.
Are you alright?
He was my
one and only family.
I knew that he was using me in order to satisfy his grudge of not being able to ascend to the throne,
but, still, the only person I could rely on was Uncle.
I still cannot believe it.
That Grand Prince Yang Ahn truly had a traitorous intentions.
Look at me.
Am I not the person who held traitorous thoughts towards my own older brother?
I am the great man who deposed his nephew and killed his younger brother.
A person like me... Could I trust anyone?
Am I different from my uncle?
Shall I bring you something to drink?
That person.
I miss her.
I will escort her here.
No.
It is not the time yet.
If she comes here, she will only go through hardship again.
I am Joseon's king, the eldest son of the former king, Lee Myeong.
While he was a grand prince, he conspired with the barbarians in the north.
In exchange for Joseon territory, he caused the barbarians to wage war. Grand Prince Jin Yang Lee Kang
forced Grand Prince Lee Hwi, third in line to the throne, to a field of death.
He forcibly usurped the throne. He is a traitor.
I, who experienced several assassination attempts while in exile,
was able to escape death thank to the help of Grand Prince Eun Seong.
We are informing Joseon's people. Let us oust the criminal Grand Prince Jin Yang, Lee Kang.
I hope that the citizens will gather their strength together to return the legitimacy of the royal family.
Is this real? Is it true that our king seized the throne?
They said that he tried to kill the deposed king!
Then, did he kill Grand Prince Eun Seong, too?
They say Grand Prince Eun Seong is alive, though.
He's alive?!
What do we do? The poor baby prince!
What is this?
He is probably suffering somewhere right now!
If a person has committed a crime, then it is only right for him to be punished!
Kkeut Dan.
This is a place where women's clothes are made. Men cannot enter.
If she's going to take her measurements, she has to at least take off her jacket.
Are you trying to come in or what?
We will wait in front of the doors.
Let's go.
You are in pain, right?
Even if you hated him, he was still your uncle.
I know that it's hard for you.
I thought of my older brother.
I thought that, now, maybe I'm the same person as him.
You are different from him.
It wasn't for your own sake,
but you did it to make everything right again.
Even though my goal was different,
what makes my path so different?
It fills me with shame.
If you want to fight an enemy, you must step into the muddy water.
There is no way to be clean after winning something.
You have changed greatly.
So, do you dislike me?
You have become stronger.
You have become more beautiful.
Now, you are not someone I need to protect.
You are a person I can lean on and rely on.
You are a reliable companion.
Will you inform the queen dowager's palace now?
Without the help of the higher-ups, it is impossible to succeed in this.
It is time for me to inform my mother
that the abdicated king and I are alive.
Please give me the letter. I will enter the palace.
You cannot. Have you forgotten how you were treated the last time you were there?
That's a different situation from now.
I have confidence that I will return safely. Do not worry.
Your Highness.
Do you believe in my brother that much?
I believe in myself and in you.
I believe that if something happens, you will save me.
I will bring silk from this store.
If you write it on there, I'll deliver it.
♫ If I just keep walking ♫
♫ like this endlessly ♫
One moment.
Since we're being separated after being together, it's harder.
There was a time when I didn't see you for three years.
Right now, even a day is so difficult.
♫ How much more do I have to watch it to know? ♫
If you cannot fall asleep at night,
if you miss me so much,
think of our past days.
When we met at the art store, when I fell into the water.
When you pretended to be a performer and confessed to me to make me feel better.
In the barracks at the battleground.
Then, you will be able to hold it in.
You will be able to endure it.
♫ I just wanna follow this path to a place no one knows ♫
♫ When I get there, will I call out only then? ♫
I'll hold this.
Is there anywhere else to go?
No, she's going back home now.
I am envious of the lady.
You two treasure each other and long for each other so much.
There was a time when she was envious of you, too.
She said you played the flute well, and that you were beautiful.
She lamented quite a bit while drunk.
Is beauty enough to a woman who's receiving love?
I have never seen a woman so beautiful like the lady.
You should find meaning in life too.
Whether you are and whatever you do, a person who has found meaning,
will not be shaken by others.
I know that you are helping me out of revenge right now.
When a good day arrives, you'll receive your rewards too.
But, if you truly find meaning in working and living for your nation,
even though you are a low-ranked individual and a woman with an injured eye,
you will become a precious person.
No, this is also incorrect.
People are all precious.
The remnants of the rebellion are impersonating Prince Seungpyeong.
They are shaking public sentiment.
The schemes of the people deceiving the royal family
are playing with our foolish subjects.
Your Majesty, since Grand Prince Yang Ahn has passed,
those rebels will gradually lose their power!
But, why
can you not trace the whereabouts of Prince Seungpyeong who disappeared from Grand Prince Yang Ahn's house?!
Why are the baseless posters continuing to appear every day?!
Prince Seungpyeong has lost his guardian. Would he be alive?
All of these crises have arisen from the fact that the government affairs are unstable.
You should appoint a well-qualified individual to the public office position as soon as possible.
And if all power is pushed towards suppressing the rebels,
your worries will ease, Your Majesty.
After I ascended to the throne,
the great and small crises have never ceased.
Do Jung Kook, who was at a local government post,
gave himself up in the name of loyalty and did many great things for the country.
Therefore, Do Jungkook will be given the position as the Commander of Five Guards.
We will praise his great deeds.
I ask that you continue to assist me in the future.
Your Majesty!
Find Prince Seungpyung and the rebels, as soon as possible.
Make me happy.
Even though I am lacking in my ability, I will show my loyalty
and serve you, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, what the court ministers need right now
is for the empty position of the prime minister to be filled.
I have not found a capable individual yet.
However, for now, we will make decisions without the state council.
I plan on having a Six Ministries administration.
Your Highness! There are many wise subjects in your court.
A Six Ministers administration, you say?
I'm saying I'll personally take care of state affairs.
I am neither weak nor a young child.
I don't plan on listening to each and one of your opinions,
carrying out politics like a student.
His Majesty does not trust us.
We risked our lives to be loyal to His Majesty, and he this is what we get?
It seems that the shock of Grand Prince Yang Ahn's betrayal has not yet settled.
Let's say it's obvious that you reap just what you sow.
But it should be fair!
The Associate Initiate of the Investigation Bureau was promoted to a higher position.
Why are you, Minister, in the same position?
Well, it hasn't been too long since I became a minister.
The Prime Minister position is empty, and I, an excellent candidate, am right here!
Using a Six Ministries Administration, he's making me into a scarecrow.
Isn't that what he's saying?
We shouldn't do this outside, let's go to the meeting room.
Let's go there and talk.
A pact...
This is Eun Seong's handwriting.
Who is the bastard that's going as far as to imitate his handwriting
to humiliate me?!
Capture my the members of my uncle's household and the rest of Eun Seong's rebels.
Even the Confucian students from Sungkyunkwan and the royal court ministers!
After finding anyone that can use a brush
find the one who has written this document!
Your Highness, I believe that Grand Prince Eun Seong is alive.
Didn't you personally confirm the corpse and conduct his funeral?
Even if I inspected the corpse,
he was shot with an arrow and fell into the ocean, shattering his face. So it was a questionable assumption.
When I went to the temple the lady was at,
I thought I was a similar face there.
Why are you telling me this now?!
I thought I saw wrong. I thought it couldn't be, and brushed it aside.
Since you're saying that the document is in Grand Prince Eun Seong's handwriting,
a streak of suspicion won't disappear.
Eun Seong is alive?
Congratulations.
You became the highest commanding officer in Joseon.
Congratulations to you, as well. You should move to my area for the Commander of Five Guards.
You should become my aide and do great things with me.
Are you taking me with you?
Aren't we people with shared trauma?
I lost my father in a civil war, and you lost your older brother.
We must go together and command them together.
Miss Ja Hyeon is asking for an audience with the Queen Mother?
Having left the Jeongubwon is great enough to cause a situation.
It's a matter related to Hwi... I mean, Grand Prince Eun Seong.
She said she wants to deliver his possessions.
The lady has something to give her.
But you, still haven't learned proper manners?
Truthfully, you know how to speak formally right?
You're not using it on purpose, right?
Do you not have sweets with you today?
Stand in line.
Be careful when you leave.
Oh, Your Excellency!
He's here!
Look at me!
How could he be so brazen?
That's the queen's brother. He's supposed to be the Minister of War.
He's making them stand in line at his front door and acquiring bribes?
In a cave without a tiger, the rabbit plays the role of the king.
Because Grand Prince Yang Ahn is no longer here, he's taken over his role.
Grand Prince Jin Yang warmly welcomes corruption.
As long as they don't rebel against him, they can privately accumulate wealth.
Even if they receive bribes, he turns a blind eye.
The Minister of Revenue Jeongyeon and the Right State Counselor Park Boogyung.
They're all excited at the prospect of accumulating wealth.
What are the three of them doing? Aren't they afraid of the citizens' eyes?
Because he's a king with a foul background,
his weaknesses have been revealed to his subjects.
They've reached a mutual agreement
to cover each others' wrongdoings.
The only ones that are dying are the citizens.
The posters and the anger towards the Royal Court
are shaking up public sentiment.
If you just throw in a match, everything will come burning down.
Any king that has ascended to the throne
must participate in the ancestral rites at the tomb of King Taejo, who founded the nation.
He will definitely do that soon.
I'll find out what the king's plans are.
Let's act when he leaves.
Daring to go against your commands,
she left the Jeongubwon by herself?
This is something that cannot be left alone.
Isn't this attitude stemming from not taking royalty seriously?
I heard that the Sung lady hadn't been feeling well.
I heard she momentarily went back to her home in order to feel better.
Even if she's ill, she should die there.
Why would a Buddhist nun move location?
My Queen, this is not the time to be thinking of different things.
You need to take proper measures to prepare for your birth.
We don't know enough about your pregnancy.
Send for the royal physician and have him take your pulse.
We need to see when we should start preparing for your pregnancy.
Your Majesty, the daughter of Chief Scholar
Seong Ja Hyeon is here.
Have her come in.
Your Highness.
I wanted to hear her side of her story, so I called her in.
I'll deal with it myself, so you can go back.
You really have guts. Where do you think this is?
Do you really want to die?
Have you been healthy, Your Majesty?
They say you're pregnant.
- Congratulations. - Why are you doing this?
- What are you trying groaning about now? - After being shut in the Jeongubwon,
having the same life as a prisoner,
I thought it would be better to wear silk clothes and eat good foods
while I live trapped here in the palace.
Are you crazy? Are you really going to be a concubine?
I'm visiting the Queen Mother to ask for forgiveness.
I might tell them that I'll do what the king wants of me.
Don't dream of it.
You need a son.
If it's a daughter, isn't that an irrelevant existence when it comes to the throne?
If a concubine has a son,
that son becomes a king.
Her Highness is waiting.
Hurry and come in.
You said you were ill. Are you feeling better?
Because of your concern, I'm doing well.
You said you had some of Eun Seong's possessions?
Isn't this silk?
Mother, it is I, your unworthy son Hwi.
You must have heard that I had died while trying to escape.
But that is not true.
Thanks to the help of righteous people, we have taken the abdicated king and we are in hiding.
Brother has made a deal with the Jurchen people with our nation's land.
And has tried to harm both the young majesty and I.
Thankfully with the help of the shrine and others, I was able to save the young majesty.
However, I cannot just stand and watch brother's actions any longer.
When I finish my preparations, I will overthrow my brother.
Allow me to raise the young majesty to his rightful position.
Help us protect our work and the abdicated king.
Wait for the day when I am healthy and a celebratory ceremony is held.
From, Hwi, your unworthy son.
The grand prince is alive?
He is taking care of the young majesty.
Is this the truth?
Is he unscathed? Is he healthy?
He's growing up very well.
Silk letter from Lee Hwi to Queen Mother, informing Her Highness that both the young king and he are alive, that Lee Kang had a secret pact with the Jurchens, and that he's planning to overthrow Lee Kang and effect restitution of the throne.
I thought maybe.
In a corner of my heart, I thought what if my son had not died.
If he had saved his young nephew and was safe and alive.
I wanted to expect this and think all those things like a dream.
Is my son really,
alive?
We went to Yeong Wol together,
and saved the young majesty.
The daughter of the Seong household is here?
Yes, Your Highness, it is said that she's
visiting the Queen Mother.
Because there are guards at my home, it is difficult to move about.
For me to enter the palace freely and
deliver news on the grand prince and the young majesty to the two of you,
I would be thankful if you were to issue a permission for entry.
I'll let Court Lady Jang know and grant you this.
You must be careful.
My son's future is in your hands.
That's not it.
The grand prince is protecting his majesty with all his might.
I am merely performing errands.
You must have carried resentment towards me.
I didn't even know you were trying your best behind the scenes.
I only treated you cruelly.
That's not it, Your Highness.
The grand prince only believes in you.
Pretending to be deceased,
to protect the young majesty. How horrible must it be?
Coming back to life
and being able to serve his majesty under the bright sunlight.
I ask you both to help him.
The King orders you to meet him before you leave.
What brings you to the palace?
I have to make a good impression on the Queen Mother
in order to smoothly enter the palace in the future.
You're using your head like that now?
Staying foolish has put me in this position.
Losing the one I'm engaged to and being tortured,
I almost spent my whole life locked up in the Jeongubwon.
Should I say that the newly reformed you is admirable?
I will enter the palace once in awhile to visit the Queen Mother.
If the opportunity allows, I may be able to see you again.
Why have you changed?
I have thought about when you have started to change.
Yes. After facing such things, a person is able to change.
Eun Seong is dead anyways.
After some time had passed, you have come to your senses.
Didn't you say you desired to become my queen?
You surprised me at the temple with such a request.
Was there something
or someone that must not be revealed?
Isn't Eun Seong alive?
Isn't the one who saved you, Eun Seong?
You two have been living together at the temple.
Then I came, so you wished to help Eun Seong escape.
You said you wanted to become a queen, and that you wanted to go home.
Wasn't that your plan?
Without knowing that, I
was happy for a moment.
At your deception, at your mockery,
I was shaken beyond belief.
I heard that the queen is pregnant.
If she were to give birth to a son, you won't have a reason to dethrone her.
Because you cannot give me what I desire,
are you trying to escape by bringing back the dead?
If I really
do make you my queen,
what will you do then?
It won't matter who births sons or daughters.
If I make you my queen,
the Eun Seong who's living will experience hell.
Keep your promise.
I will always be waiting.
Your Highness.
Chief Scholar has returned from Ming.
When I am approved as an emperor, my position will be even more secure.
Even if Eun Seong was alive,
there is nothing that will change.
Your Majesty, Chief Scholar has returned.
The Ming have finished their approval.
He does not have the right to be Emperor.
With Eun Seong's life on the line, he sold off our land to Jurchens.
It must have been Grand Prince Yang Ahn's doing.
Do you think he didn't know?
What happened to Eun Seong and Seung Pyun is all his doing.
But Your Highness, is revealing this situation the best thing to do?
What are you trying to say?
If all of our despicable wrong-doings come to light,
and shake up the throne again, will that help?
What will the citizens think of the royal family?
The current king is also your son.
Brother, just because I birthed him,
if I were to forgive and ignore his treasonous and murderous nature, what would become of this nation?
After forgiving his actions, should I live on like nothing happened?
Even if this nation collapses?
Setting a son, who is sharpening his knife, on the right path.
That is the path a mother should take.
The Ming Nation's envoys are coming to meet with Seung Pyun?
Yes, Your Highness.
They will be checking whether it was right to abdicate a king in front of a royal audience.
Why are you doing your job like that?
You should've received the will!
They say that they will follow the procedures.
I didn't have reason to say no.
If we bring Prince Seungpyung back from exile and have him meet the envoys...
I'm saying this because Prince Seungpyung is not here right now!
While Chief Scholar was away, there were many things that happened.
While Grand Prince Yang Ahn was trying to kidnap Prince Seungpyeong,
he was executed.
Before the envoys arrive, find Prince Seungpyeong.
Even if we have to search this city or the entire country!
I'm telling you to find the child.
You went through a lot.
In Ming, I intentionally mentioned the existence of the abdicated king in order to postpone the approval of the king.
I'm not sure if it will be of use.
There's someone you should meet.
If Eun Seong is alive, what would he do?
He will probably try to reinstate the former king.
I will trace his path from the house of exile again and find out his hideout.
- If you kick up a ruckus to find him, he'll hide even more. -Then?
If we wait, he'll come to us.
He will pursue his plan.
Looks like there will be another bloodbath.
Hurry and come!
Oh, thank you!
Aigoo, hurry up.
I didn't dare dream you were alive.
I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
It's nothing.
Ja Hyeon must have been so happy.
Can I trust you with the court ministers when they're going to the funeral?
I just have to take the ministers back to the palace?
If the former king returns to the palace while we detain my brother,
the Queen Mother will gather the ministers
and issue a command to reinstate the former king.
If it goes according to the plan, it will be perfect.
If the former king reclaims the throne without a hitch,
Grand Prince Jin Yang will be arrested as a criminal.
The ministers might resist.
After Grand Prince Yang Ahn died,
the battle line collapsed.
If we take out the Minister of War and Eo Eul Woon, the remaining ministers
will go with the flow.
Are you sure the word will not get out?
If a rebellion fails, it's usually because of the infidelity of the people in it.
But only 3 people know of our entire plan.
Prince Eun Seong, me, and you.
The soldiers in the area for the Five Guards will follow the orders of the Commander.
They don't even know that this is a coup d'etat
Everyone has their part in the plan,
but only the two of us know the big picture.
What's going on?
Don't be too surprised.
When did all these people..?
Your Highness!
Since you were going through a hard time,
I asked anyone who could come to the capital to come...
They all gave up their livelihoods and rushed here.
Why?
I cannot protect your lives if you join hands with me.
You could die!
Grand Prince, you went through life and death together with us,
and you helped us escape that hellish prison.
If it weren't for you, we would already be dead.
Since we have already died once, we are ready to give our lives for you.
We are ready.
We missed you. Welcome!
Thank you.
Are you worried?
Our household has already made our choice. All of us.
Before you were a captain for the royal guards, weren't you working for the crown prince?
When the abdicated king,
I mean, when Prince Seung Pyeon was still the king, I heard you served at the crown prince's palace.
There are many people who moved from working for the crown prince to being a royal guard.
There's someone who wishes to see you.
Prince!
We are taking care of the abdicated king.
Will you protect His Highness again?
Cashier Record Books
Are these documents real?
The person who was managing the funds for Grand Prince Jin Yang's rebellion gave them to us.
So many spies and so many bribes... This is...
It's proof that the former king didn't abdicate the throne,
but rather it was snatched from him by force.
The posters that said that he conspired with the barbarians!
Those rumors were true?
There were documents in Grand Prince Yang Ahn's house that were sent back and forth between the Jurchens.
The king had his uncle, Grand Prince Yang Ahn, killed in order to get rid of those documents.
If you were given a chance to follow the will of the late king,
and to pledge your loyalty to the abdicated king once more,
what would you do?
To be honest, I used to think that Prince Jin Yang's enthronement
was unavoidable since the former king was so young.
But this is not right. If people like this rule the country,
what will happen to our future?
Queen Dowager sent a royal physician.
I will take care of it myself. Return.
I am not feeling well today.
That means you need a check-up even more. I will ask them to treat you.
I said I don't need it!
What right do you have?
Now is not the time to act the head of the royal household,
but to discipline yourself.
What's wrong, Your Highness?
She came here to check up on you
under the Queen Dowager's instructions.
I said I don't need it.
I will take care of my own body.
Are you really pregnant?
What are you so afraid of that you won't have your pulse checked?
Tell the truth!
It's still too early,
to diagnose anything.
Another month must pass before we might know something.
Did you instruct the doctor to say so, Your Highness?
There's a chance that my lie may turn out to be true by that time.
Is it true this time?
I don't know yet.
I have to wait.
I won't! I won't!
Did anyone make you?
It's you who wanted to try it.
You do what you are good at.
We'll make the myeongab (bulletproof clothes).
Are you going to put in on Hwi?
It's for you.
We were making this for her?
She is fighting with men neck to neck.
If she wears the myeongab, she could be less hurt.
Then what about Hwi?
Later. After I make your's.
They will halt Grand Prince Jin Yang's palanquin here.
Station the archers over there.
Once his palanquin arrives and its doors are opened,
we shoot arrows before he steps out.
When panic breaks out around the royal carriage,
Lord Seong Eok will lead away the frightened ministers.
In the meanwhile our palace guards will smuggle away the palanquin with Prince Jin Yang.
But we must get rid of Eo Eul Woon.
If we fail,
you will not be able to avoid death.
If we succeed, my late father's resentment will be lifted.
We will be able to show the citizens,
that virtue wins in the end,
and that that's the path Joseon must take.
Lady, please be safe.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
What's the matter?
It's nothing. You may go.
Are you okay?
Let's move to the room. I'm worried that someone may see.
It has not been too long since I ascended to the throne.
There are not many people that I can trust within the Royal Court.
My uncle has passed away. The Ministry of Defense...
I do have a Captain of Royal Guards, but he is just an officer.
I do not have a civil servant who will assist me.
If the eldest son from Chief Scholar's household assists me,
you would be very reliable.
Would you come into the Royal Court?
Your Majesty, I am still a Confucian student from Sungkyunkwan who hasn't passed the exam.
How could I deal with the matters of the Royal Court?
How about you start as a part of the Ministry of Physiognomy?
It is a job that deals with my great seal. It is a great, important job.
That seems like a position that a student like me is unworthy of.
This is just the beginning.
If you want to protect your sister the right way,
you should hurry and become a big support for the Royal Court.
I am unworthy of your grace, Your Majesty.
His father is an envoy sent to Ming, and his daughter seeks the position of a queen.
His son doesn't feel happy when being offered a government position. Seong Deuk Sik is a simple person.
Disliking going into a government position, there is a reason why.
To be honest, there is something bothering me about the Commander of Five Guards, Do Jung Kook.
Isn't he a person who shot an arrow at Eun Seong based on my resentment?
Before he died, Grand Prince Yang Ahn advised me to be cautious of Do Jung Kook.
I wonder if you promoted him too quickly and gave him too much authority.
I was just showing how if people are loyal to me, they will be honored.
But, if you are suspicious of him, keep an eye on him.
How do you feel about postponing the funeral tomorrow?
In the end, you have to run no matter what. You hear me?
Don't even look back. Just look forward and run.
You're the one who has to do well.
It's weird, right? I don't think fancy things suit me.
It's better than having a male disguise.
When tomorrow passes, everything will be finished.
Everyone will go back to their right place
and we will have our long-awaited marriage. We'll be together forever.
But, do not forget.
If this fails,
your and your father knew nothing about this.
Grand Prince Jin Yang is suspicious about whether you're alive or not.
But, still, we can't stop.
There is only one chance. When my brother leaves the palace,
this is the only time. If we miss it, we have to wait for the anniversary of the death of the former king.
Go back and wait for me.
I will not go.
The time when I waited for you,
do you know what I regretted the most?
When we had the promise ceremony at the temple, I regretted that I didn't become your wife.
I don't want to have those regrets again.
Right now, I am not considered to be alive in this world.
I am considered to be a dead person.
You are alive in front of me, Your Highness.
During the past three years, do you know what I thought I had done well?
I thought it was good that I hadn't gotten married to you before leaving.
We cannot promise life or death on this land. I don't know if I'll die today or tomorrow.
I considered it to be a great relief that I had not restrained you with our marriage.
That's a lie.
You always longed for me every day and regretted it every night.
I'm not scared.
Today, I will become your wife.
♫ What do I do with myself? ♫
♫ It's because my chest feels tight ♫
♫ I feel frustrated because my chest feels tight ♫
♫ As much as it is sad, this mean love ♫
What's wrong?
When those two finish talking, I'm going to see Hwi too.
They won't finish tonight, you fool.
They'll have so many things to talk about on a night like this.
This might be their last, so they must feel uneasy.
What about us?
It might be the last, so we should be with him.
You can just be with me.
I'm hurting.
It hurts here!
My heart hurts! It feels like someone's ripping it apart.
That's because your heart hurts.
Fool!
When everything is done and
His Highness and the lady get married and live together,
you should live with me.
I don't want to. I'm going to live with Hwi.
And every day, you're going to make your heart hurt like this?
Just suffer through one more day tomorrow. You should stop protecting people now.
There is no need for you to protect His Highness or the lady.
I will protect you now.
You fight worse than I do.
I'm good at fighting!
The lady is a bit late.
She threw the guards off track and went to see His Highness.
Don't worry about it. They think that they lost her somewhere far away.
I told them that she's at home sleeping.
Kkeut Dan.
Is this truly for Ja Hyeon's sake?
Grand Prince Jin Yang is already the king.
Bringing that king down again,
is it possible?
I don't really know about things like that.
It's just what the lady wants.
The lady only concerns herself with His Highness.
I'm just following along.
Our family barely escaped the hole of a disaster that almost wiped all of us out.
Going into that hole again,
is scary for me.
I'm scared, too. Our destiny
could fall further downhill from here.
But, seeing the prince of this nation suffering makes me more scared.
♫ If I just keep walking like this endlessly ♫
♫ It feels like I'll be able to see you ♫
♫ So I keep walking till shadows disappear, one, two, three, ♫
♫ As I keep walking, I meet the moon ♫
♫ The weaning and filling up, ♫
♫ how much more do I have to watch it to know? ♫
♫ I don’t think I can do it anymore, no matter what I blame ♫
♫ But wherever I look, it’s only painful roads for me ♫
♫ The places I want to go to, the places I need to go to ♫
♫ Perhaps I don't want to know forever ♫
♫ I just wanna follow this path to a place no one knows ♫
♫ When I get there, will I call out only then? ♫
I can't do it anymore.
Today, you must hide yourself someplace far away...
I regret and regret it! That I have made it all the way here holding your hands.
If things fail today, you will die.
I don't regret it.
Even if this life ends today,
I do not regret it.
But, please return.
I'll be back.
Why are you so surprised?
It's nothing.
Is there a message you must deliver to the Queen Dowager's palace?
It is not something you should know about, Chief Royal Secretary.
Eun Seong is saying that he will send in Prince Seungpyung today.
Chief Royal Secretary has caught onto something.
He must just feel uncomfortable that I don't discuss matters with him anymore.
But, what can we do? We don't even know what will happen after this.
- What's happening? - Your Majesty.
I think you should push your plans to leave the palace for another day.
What are your reasons?
There may be a group with a grudge out to get you on your way there today.
Who would be out to get me?
Do you have a report of treason?
There are widespread rumors that Prince Seungpyung and Grand Prince Eun Seong are alive.
I do not think it is a time for you to be making a royal visit.
It also bothers me that the Commander of Five Guards is taking you today.
Do I need to wear my armor?
When you get the message, you will move.
I will trust you with the lady and the prince.
I will come back.
No one should get hurt.
Lady, don't worry about it.
When we return, please prepare something for us to celebrate.
Meat, too.
Return safely. We will have a special table prepared for you.
Did you wear it?
Don't get hurt.
Let's get going.
♫ Believing and believing ♫
♫ In a life together ♫
♫ Living and living ♫
♫ In eternal darkness ♫
