(All people and backdrops are unrelated to history,)
(and the drama is a work of fiction.)
Wait!
Wait.
Do you know a Cho Sung Hoo?
Cho Sung Hoo is dead.
He was found a year after he disappeared.
I killed him.
This is Officer Park Soo Ho of the Capital Defense.
I have an urgent word for His Majesty.
She is not breathing.
Wait!
What did you say?
- Yeo Hwa. - My lady.
Let go of me!
I must hear this.
What did you say to me?
How dare you act like this in front of His Majesty?
Listen!
All of this...
was due to my shortcomings.
Return home, everyone.
I will reveal the truth about what happened here today.
Until then, no one...
is to make a move.
(Episode 12: Flower That Blooms in the Night)
You prepared quite a lot, unlike your usual self.
Why did you not arrest me for questioning...
instead of going to such lengths?
Have you forgotten Lady Oh testified...
with her life?
She exposed the circumstances in which you poisoned my father,
so how are you still so shameless?
I told you I know nothing about it.
And even if that were true,
with Lady Oh dead now too,
there is no way to prove it.
Lord Seok.
Do you not fear retribution?
Royal Secretary Officer.
If you wish to preserve His Majesty's life,
lead him down the right path.
How dare you try to challenge me with a simple trick like this?
There is a story about a monkey...
that drowned trying to pluck the moon from a lake.
Why do you not see you are nothing but...
an impudent monkey?
How dare you speak to your King in that manner?
How are you exactly the same as your foolish father?
Do not speak of my father!
My father...
tried to build a fine nation...
where all his people could live a fruitful life.
A fine nation where all the people can live a fruitful life?
So tell me.
Is the world you dream of one that goes against custom?
One where those of lowly status can take the state exam...
and be government officials?
Have you thought about what the world would become...
if that were to happen?
If everyone...
is allowed to live up to their potential...
regardless of their social status,
it will let us build a nation with a strong foundation.
Did you just say "regardless of social status?"
What about you, Your Majesty?
Just because you were the eldest son of the former king,
you were able to take the throne despite not having any accolades.
Knowing our place...
and staying within our own lanes is the way of nature.
Do not forget that it is the way of the world.
If you choose to go against it,
the first course of action should be to step down as King.
Brother.
I am impressed.
You are finally skilled enough to protect yourself.
But it is not your night to stand guard.
One day, I will have a custom spear sword made for you.
Do not go.
You should not go.
Brother.
Sung Hoo!
Are you all right?
My lady.
What about Father?
He is still at the palace.
Well,
Officer Park had something urgent to tell you...
and is going to wait...
at the book rental shop until you come.
(Book Rental Shop)
Are you all right?
My father-in-law...
killed my brother.
How could he do such a thing?
How...
could he have killed my brother...
and still address me with such kindness?
It is wrong.
Lady Oh must be mistaken.
That is what I meant to tell you.
Kang Pil Jik confessed...
to killing your brother...
as ordered...
by Lord Seok.
Lady Cho.
Mother.
I must ask...
if you know anything about what happened today.
How could I possibly know about what goes on outside these walls?
However...
I just hope that nothing happens to you or Yeo Hwa.
Mother.
What is this about my wife's brother going missing?
He disappeared a few months before she married into the family...
and has not been heard from ever since.
For decades, she received no news about him.
However, she believed that he was alive...
and prayed for his return.
She must have been able to endure this lonely and painful life...
all because she was also waiting for her brother to return.
That must be...
what allowed her to stay strong all these years.
Did you kill...
Cho Sung Hoo?
Is anyone out there?
Officer Park!
Tell me when,
where,
and how you killed him.
A year into tracking Cho Sung Hoo,
I learned that he was in Bukchon.
I chased him...
to the woods behind Sodang Village...
He was...
in Bukchon?
Father.
Yeo Hwa.
I hope it is not too hot for you.
It is all right.
Have you still not heard from your brother?
I am afraid so.
I have been trying to locate him myself.
He knew he would die upon returning,
but he came back...
to see his sister.
He came back.
When you killed him,
was...
Lord Seok present?
Where are you going?
Do not follow me.
I will go with you.
I want to be alone.
Am I...
the reason you ended up dead?
Because you came to see me?
My goodness.
At a foreign place surrounded by strangers.
You should have just died...
along with my brother!
Despite all the miserable days,
I was only able to endure and stay strong...
gladly doing what I could...
because I awaited the day...
to see you again...
as your proud sister who lived her life as Cho Yeo Hwa.
Father.
Hey.
Let us wait for him together.
The one I served as a parent...
turned out to be the enemy who took your life.
How could...
the skies be this cruel to me?
What do I now...
have to live for?
Now,
I will finish...
my final task.
Now that Lady Oh is dead,
there will be no evidence that proves my crimes.
- My lord! - My lord!
Who are you?
Did you have...
Cho Sung Hoo killed?
How would you possibly know him?
Even though you ended his life,
you brazenly acted as if he was still alive.
I will tell you who I am...
and...
show you...
the monster you created.
My lord!
Let us go.
Why are you stopping me? Why?
Did you intend to die right here?
Did you reveal your identity, kill Lord Seok,
and give up on everything too?
Yes!
I will kill that man and simply pay the price.
Do you and His Majesty not want to do the same?
That is why...
I intend to finish him, so why do you stop me?
I also...
think dozens of times a day...
that I can kill him in an instant and sacrifice my life...
to avenge my parents.
However,
I cannot do that.
Would your brother really want you...
to die for his revenge?
If...
that is the only way to end it,
I shall do it.
So please...
do not hurt yourself.
You are late.
You must have been shocked today.
Are you all right?
Yes.
My lady.
You just have to focus on keeping house.
Do not mind what is going on outside.
Yes.
You must be tired. Go on inside and rest up.
I heard you were attacked by the masked man.
Park Soo Ho showed up there too.
I am pretty sure that they are in league with each other.
Just what is going on?
Escort Prince Ansan to the Capital.
Pardon?
The King might be well aware of what it means...
to have Prince Ansan in the Capital.
He is of royal blood, but he is from a collateral line.
Besides, he is only six.
I am to decide who takes the throne anyway.
It is no problem as long as he is a royal blood.
And...
it is better the younger he is.
All along,
I believed that my brother was alive.
There was a secret place...
where he and I practiced martial arts.
Before my wedding,
I left a letter there.
When I went there again,
the letter was gone...
and I found this sword instead.
So I believed that he was alive.
He probably intended...
to leave this sword to me.
One day, I will have a custom spear sword made for you.
A secretive and special sword that suits you perfectly.
A special sword?
My one and only sister, Yeo Hwa.
If you are reading this letter,
that means I am no longer with you.
Forgive your foolish brother...
for not keeping his promise to go back.
Are you living the life you want?
Are you carrying out your intentions without a hitch in life?
If...
the Crown Prince safely took the throne,
hand the other letter to him.
And do not think anymore...
about your brother who is leaving a heavy burden to you...
without getting to protect you.
Kang Pil Jik got murdered!
Who are you?
All right.
Let me go inside for a moment.
What is it?
I would like to ask about what happened in the palace yesterday.
It is none of your concern.
By any chance,
did you know that the tea was poisoned?
How would I have known?
If you had known,
would you have stopped me before I drank it?
You would not have.
Did you come here to ask me that stupid question?
You should have become an official...
to deal with national affairs a long time ago.
But you are rather sentimentalizing like women.
Just when will you come to your senses?
I may not know much about political or national affairs,
but I do know my duties for the family.
You abandoned your parents to live as you pleased.
Are you not ashamed to bring up the family now?
All this is for our family,
but I bet you are clueless.
What on earth are you trying to gain...
even by risking the lives of our family?
I do not...
want my mother and wife to suffer again.
This is my last request as your son.
I see you are enjoying it so much.
I need to eat.
I will stuff my stomach and do what I have to do.
Do you not just have to deliver your brother's letter to His Majesty?
That and others.
I heard you sob all night,
so I was worried you might fall sick.
I guess I still do not know you well enough.
I should have wondered what trouble you would cause again.
All right.
I will get going now.
Be careful.
You are still Lord Seok's daughter-in-law.
What if someone finds you...
going around in Unjong-ga?
Do not worry.
He had me in his family for 15 years.
He would not kill me for sleeping out just one night.
What...
Goodness.
I wish she just fell sick.
She is making me anxious to death.
(Geonseon Gate)
What is it you must say to me?
Yes, my lord. Well...
The person who killed Kang Pil Jik.
I saw him with my own eyes.
Last night,
a man in a mask secretly got into Capital Defense Command...
In a mask?
Yes. I heard what he said...
as he questioned Kang Pil Jik.
And I thought I should inform you.
What did he say?
He said something about...
avenging Cho Sung Hoo.
That he would give the King proof of that night,
and make sure the Left State Councilor would pay.
Your Majesty.
Cho Yeo Hwa at your service.
You wished to see me?
My brother Cho Sung Hoo whom you were looking for.
He died already...
by Lord Seok's hand.
The Royal Secretary Officer told me.
I am...
so very sorry.
The proof of treason that my brother had is now gone.
What do you plan to do now?
I dare ask you again, Your Majesty.
Once you found the proof of treason,
what were you planning to do?
I planned to eliminate Lord Seok,
and continue my father's will...
to build up a nation in which every person lived comfortably.
If you did not find proof,
were you going to...
sit and wait and do nothing?
You must have thought I was a coward.
Since the time you came to the throne,
I lived...
as a widow who is considered the lowest of the low.
Do you know...
how I spent each day?
Other than wail and mourn for my dead husband,
what else could I do?
I thought every single day,
and at night, I wore a mask and jumped walls.
Because even if I were to die today,
if I do not do anything,
I am nothing.
I had no reason to live if I did nothing,
so I did what I could...
to go on living.
In your lofty seat, looking down on everyone else,
did you spend each and every day wondering...
what to do for your people?
Other than apprehending Lord Seok and revealing the truth of that day,
as the King, what I should do today...
for my people...
What I should do every day.
I forgot about that basic thing.
I am such a fool of a king.
I am so sorry.
I feel ashamed.
I believe...
you will become a good and wise king.
I apologize for showing a sword in your presence, Your Majesty.
This sword...
is the only thing my brother left me.
Inside...
is a letter he left me and paid with his life to do so.
Please...
become a king who can...
willingly acknowledge his shortcomings...
so that people like myself do not have to lose hope of a better life.
Do that for us.
My beloved son, Crown Prince So.
If something terrible were to befall me,
behind it...
would be the traitor Seok Ji Sung.
I pray that you preserve yourself,
and take to the throne.
Accomplish the dream I failed to.
Create a new world in which...
every person can dream.
Become a strong king who can do that.
Father, I promise you.
I will become a strong king...
who will pick up where you left off.
(Capital Defense Command)
How did I end up doing such a thing?
I thought my career would be smooth sailing.
His Majesty will not forget your help.
You know,
I have six children.
My youngest daughter is not yet married.
I am so very afraid.
Do not worry.
Everything will be fine.
You did just fine early this morning.
You did...
a great job of pretending to be the masked figure.
What happened to Kang Pil Jik?
Get me out fast.
I can barely breathe.
- Boss? - Man Sik?
Boss...
Shall we leave them both here?
I was considering that.
I did as you said.
Please spare me.
You will be spared for your confession.
But you will go back to being a butcher for the rest of your life.
- Take them. - Yes, my lord.
What? A butcher?
- Boss. - My lord!
Boss.
What do you think Lord Seok will do?
He thinks I work with the masked man,
so he will come to me.
I serve the King closely.
He will come to me.
We will see when we leave.
Do you think Lord Seok will take the bait?
Yes.
We are being followed, as I thought.
I think there are about five men.
I could not sense them at all.
There are that many?
- Yoon Hak. - Yes?
You can fight with a sword, right?
I am the Royal Secretary Officer.
Do not worry.
I can defend myself just fine.
Just in case.
What is that?
Pass this to His Majesty.
Wait!
Hand over that letter.
I cannot do that.
I have the letter.
Goodness.
It is done.
Am I good enough to be an officer now?
My lord.
This is it.
Your Majesty,
Lord Seok has stepped into the Royal Office.
Your Majesty,
Prince Ansan greets you.
(Prince Ansan, Lee So's first cousin three times removed)
Lord Seok.
What is the meaning of this?
Why did you bring Prince Ansan here?
It is to prompt a decision from you...
regarding your strong will to keep the throne.
Only then will I be able...
to keep serving you as my king.
My strong will?
Right this second,
you must depose the Queen Dowager.
Lady Oh dared try to poison you...
but her crime was buried with her death.
You must have the Queen Dowager take responsibility.
- Lord Seok! - If not,
maybe you would rather pass down the throne...
to the young Prince Ansan.
Your Majesty,
I requested all the ministers to join us.
You called the ministers at this early hour?
Enter.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Lord Seok,
is this not Prince Ansan?
Your Majesty,
now that I have delivered my request,
I will leave with Prince Ansan.
Lord Seok, stop right there.
Someone is here to see you.
Let this person enter.
- But it is a lady. - What...
- What on earth? - What is going on?
What is the meaning of this?
How could this be?
What...
Goodness me.
Goodness.
What...
What on earth...
Your Majesty,
how could you allow a lady to enter the Royal Office?
Why are you here?
Lady Cho, inform me of why you are here.
I...
am Left State Councilor Seok's daughter-in-law.
How dare you enter this office?
Also,
I am the younger sister of Cho Sung Hoo, the member of the King's Guard...
who received the former king's last secret order 15 years ago.
What?
How on earth?
After...
my brother disappeared 15 years ago,
I married into the Seok family.
But my husband died on our wedding day,
and I have been living as a devoted widow ever since.
Shut your mouth!
All these years,
my life as a devoted widow...
was not one of sorrow...
thanks to the able premier who has been a kind father-in-law.
Your Majesty,
how could you have the ministers...
hear the appeal of a mere lady?
That is correct.
And this mere lady...
wishes to take this opportunity...
to report my father-in-law.
- What? - What did she just say?
- How... - My goodness.
One.
To find my brother Cho Sung Hoo,
he had me marry into the family as a hostage.
Then, he had him killed.
Two.
He gave the order to slaughter...
the entire family of Im Kang who was the Head of the King's Guard.
Enough!
Im Kang?
The former Head of the King's Guard?
Did his family not die at the hands of lowly louts?
- Exactly. - That is correct.
Let him enter.
- What... - Is he not an officer?
Who...
Who could this be?
I am Im Hyun Jae, the son of the former Head of the King's Guard.
I address His Majesty as a witness to that day.
But I heard his entire family had been slaughtered.
That is also what I heard.
Hold on.
Is he not Park Soo Ho,
Chief Scholar Park's adopted son?
Royal Secretary Officer Park.
Is he not your younger brother?
Royal Secretary Officer Park,
explain to us what happened.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Fifteen years ago, on the night the former king died,
I was given a royal order...
to save Im Kang's young son who was on the brink of death,
and I brought him home.
My heart ached to hear how the loyal Im Kang...
had fallen to such rats.
But his son was well and alive.
Goodness me.
Im Kang's son was alive!
Lastly, the former king...
Shut it!
Is it your desire to be expelled from my family?
Father,
I came here ready to give up my life.
Being expelled from your family does not fear me.
This sword...
was left by my brother.
And inside...
are the last words of the former king...
that prove Lord Seok's act of treason.
- What on earth? - What is that?
Left State Councilor Seok Ji Sung...
poisoned the former king...
and ordered the deaths...
of the former Head of the King's Guard Im Kang...
and my brother Cho Sung Hoo who had received his letter.
I,
as well as Im Hyun Jae who stands before you,
and this letter...
prove that.
My goodness.
As the daughter-in-law of Lord Seok who committed treason,
I will gladly be punished...
for his crimes along with my father-in-law.
Lord Seok, what is she saying?
The former king was poisoned?
What do you mean you had Im Kang killed?
Please speak up.
Would there be any other reason...
for his daughter-in-law to risk her life saying this?
Even the wife of the Minister of Finance died from drinking a poisonous tea.
Are the rumors true?
So?
What could be the issue even if what she said was true?
These decisions were made to protect this nation.
If I had not made the tough decision to eliminate the former king,
you...
and this nation...
would have been hopeless.
Father.
This is enough now.
You are...
That is right, Father.
It is me.
- What... - Goodness.
What is she doing?
Do not make me...
regret not cutting off your head...
that night.
How did you...
Your Majesty.
Please give us your royal command.
I have...
a lot to talk about with my father-in-law in private.
Listen, everyone.
Arrest this traitor, Seok Ji Sung, immediately!
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Do not you dare touch me.
It was all to uphold the scholar-officials,
the foundation of this nation.
We have kept our places for generations.
It is only right that our children succeed them.
So I simply secured those places.
Remember.
Joseon is...
a nation of scholar-officials.
Who on earth are you?
Have you forgotten already?
I am the daughter-in-law of Left State Councilor Seok,
Cho Yeo Hwa.
While you murdered the former king...
and helped Kang Pil Jik and Lady Oh...
from behind to hide that sin,
I, your daughter-in-law,
climbed over the walls every night...
to fight them with my life on the line.
And of all that I did, this is the only one.
I did not...
punish you with my sword myself.
Consider it fortunate.
I tend to make a move before the law,
but this once,
I will watch you pay the price...
according to the strict national law...
for sure.
Sinner Seok Ji Sung...
abetted poisoning the former king to death,
damaged the written royal command,
murdered the Head of the King's Guard, Im Kang, and his whole family,
and murdered Cho Sung Hoo...
to destroy the evidence of his act of treason.
Mother.
Father...
got arrested for treason just now.
Treason?
Mother.
Sinner Seok Ji Sung will be stripped from office...
and demoted to the lowest class.
He will be punished with 100 beatings...
and confined on Bogildo Island, Jeolla Province.
(An exiled criminal is confined with thorns and fences.)
He will repent for what he did until the day he dies,
and that is my royal command.
Carry it out immediately.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
I have requested to see you to dare ask a favor.
Name anything.
My ears are all for what you say at any time.
Your Majesty, I dare beg you...
to show mercy on the families...
who have already suffered due to my father-in-law's sins.
Just as he deceived me all these years,
they all have nothing to do with what happened.
As you say, his family members did not know a thing about it.
Thus, they are innocent.
Thank you for your boundless generosity.
(Hwayeon)
This is just too much!
A divorcee?
She has lived all these years as a widow,
and now, she has to live the rest of her life as a divorcee.
There is nothing I can do about the situation.
She was stuck at home, wailing all day.
Now, she is about to be branded as a divorcee.
I wanted to run Myungdo Inn with her...
once she moved out of the house.
A widow or a divorcee.
It is the same she will be treated worse than poorly.
After all that she went through,
she ends up living namelessly.
Whether it be Qing or elsewhere,
I will run away with her.
This is all because of Lord Seok's family...
My lord?
I...
Right.
I have come to know...
about what my wife is planning to do.
Where is she?
She stepped outside early in the morning.
I do not know where she went.
Oh, my.
What is going on...
that all of you are gathered here?
What brought you here?
I am curious about her plan too.
I am heading to the palace on urgent business...
and will be away from home for a few days.
What are you doing here?
I guessed you would be here.
Do you remember...
this question you asked me a long time ago?
You asked me what I would do...
after finding out my brother's whereabouts...
and revealing all the sins that Lord Seok committed.
Have you given it some thought?
Once it is all over,
who will I live as?
What will I live as?
Not as someone's wife or daughter-in-law.
Oh, and not the masked figure...
who jumps across roofs under the moonlight.
But...
even after all this is over,
I will still be Lord Seok's daughter-in-law...
and nothing can change that.
Even if I were to divorce his son,
I used to be a noble's daughter-in-law,
so my new status...
would not be much different from a widow.
What do you mean?
So says the law and it cannot be helped.
Ask His Majesty to...
He spared the rest of my family and that alone was a tall order.
His Majesty...
cannot change a law to save one woman.
- My lady. - So you too...
should go your own way.
I cannot do that.
Whether you wear a mask, are a widow, or get divorced,
I do not care.
I will be at your side.
I will...
be with you.
That is the law. It cannot be helped.
My lord. It is so unfair.
For 15 years, as a widow,
she wailed all day long and ate just one meal a day.
She was even banned from leaving the house.
Is there nothing we can do?
That place...
She cannot stay there any longer.
His Majesty does pity her.
But there is no way.
Excuse me.
I have a question.
Lady Cho said she never saw Junior Joo's face...
before she was married.
Can you get married like that?
It takes two.
How can you marry on your own?
I am here...
to report someone for fraud!
That person...
is me!
- Fraud? - What is he saying?
- Is he out of his mind? - Maybe?
He is reporting himself?
Step aside. Officers coming through.
Make way. Step aside.
Come on.
Arrest me.
My goodness.
This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites.
Why are you doing this outside the palace?
To inform the people...
that my marriage...
was a sham from the start.
My marriage...
is unjust and fraudulent.
I had fallen in love and eloped to Qing.
My father knew that,
and brought Cho Yeo Hwa home to be my bride despite that.
My marriage was a fraud!
I was...
married in Qing, so I have something called a wife.
- A what? - Wife?
I have a spouse.
- A spouse. - I see.
No man can have two wives.
So my marriage in Joseon must be annulled.
Then because of a living husband...
who was already married,
the poor woman...
had to suffer for years as a widow?
Can you let go?
Officer Park...
I had no idea.
I did not know!
Even if I did not know,
it does not mean I did not wrong her!
The woman who suffered because of me...
deserves freedom!
I willingly give permission.
His Majesty...
the King!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
I was told of a spectacle, so I decided to come and look.
I will have the Ministry of Rites annul your marriage.
Thank you for your boundless generosity,
Your Majesty.
That is a wise decision.
Lady Cho disappeared?
She left this.
I will live well,
so do not worry about me.
Is this it?
When we left home last night to come to Myungdo Inn,
she seemed perfectly normal.
Did she really go...
after leaving just one sentence?
I wonder if she even knows...
her marriage was annulled.
If you leave now,
will you never return?
I will not.
Well...
Myungdo Inn might be uncomfortable.
You can stay here until you find a new place.
Can you not?
They say matches are made in heaven.
The husband I met after 15 years...
turned out to be you,
and for that, I am grateful.
Live well.
And free.
And if...
we meet at night, that would be nice.
I like cool, great people.
I am sorry.
That is the only thing I can say.
I am sorry.
Mother.
Every day, I felt resentment,
sadness,
and hatred.
But I had you.
You were there with me.
That is what got me through the years.
Will you permit me to consider you...
the last family I have?
Wherever I go,
may I rely on you...
and the idea that I have a mother?
You can.
I hope...
you forget the years of suffering and torment.
Live well.
Smile,
and be happy.
I will.
I will do that.
I promise...
to live like that.
Someone's daughter-in-law, someone's wife,
someone's lover.
I no longer wish to be called that.
Did you not say so yourself once?
Instead of someone else,
you told me to put myself first.
I wish to live in such a way for once.
You should also...
not worry about me and only think of yourself...
and live on carrying a smile.
If only you knew...
how dashing your smile was.
So please lead a normal...
and happy life...
like everyone else.
I will live as such.
I will live as such...
and wait for you.
- Over here. - Take a look!
(1 year later)
(Doore Rice Cakes)
Kkot Nim,
I heard you already mastered the "Thousand-Character Classic."
Yes. Royal Secretary Officer Park...
will teach me "Elementary Learning" next month.
Why are you invested in studying how to read and write?
It is so that I can be someone as impressive as Lady Cho someday.
Whal Yu, can you buy me another fine rice cake?
- Is it for Joo? - Yes.
Madam, I will take ten more fine rice cakes.
All right.
Please take a look at this too.
Yeon Sun,
our profit has gone up 2,500 nyang compared to last month.
She is not to be addressed like that...
when she is the guild's financier.
Ever since you joined us, we are seeing more profit.
I could easily let you take command right away.
Please do not say that.
I still have a lot to learn.
Royal Secretary Officer Park is here to see the financier.
Officer Park Soo Ho used to come by almost every day...
and the same is now happening with Royal Secretary Officer Park.
I am confused as to whether...
this is Myungdo Inn or the palace.
- I will step out for a bit. - Sure.
Did everything go as you wished?
It was a hassle to be granted His Majesty's approval,
but I was finally able to live as a loafer.
Your dream was to be a loafer.
How amusing.
Leaving the politics of the Royal Court behind...
and enjoying a peaceful life...
has been a life-long dream of mine.
By the way,
have you chosen a house with a tiled roof in Hanyang...
that has always been your dream?
A few of them have stood out,
but not one of them seems like the perfect place.
There is one that might interest you.
One with a bright and sunny yard...
and flowers that bloom all year round.
Where exactly is this place?
But is this not...
your house?
Would you like...
to look around with me?
Sure.
Goodness, my lord.
You came.
Bi Chan.
Right.
Did you bring what I requested?
Yes.
It is here.
What is this?
This is a marriage offer letter.
(A letter stating the year, month, date, and time of the groom's birthday)
You are way past the age of marriage...
and are on the verge of being a spinster.
You have postponed it long enough,
and it is time to make a decision.
Of course.
That you should.
- Thank you. - No, Father.
What on earth are you talking about?
You see,
I will become a wife for eternity once I marry.
I would rather like to enjoy the romance a little longer.
Why you...
Unbelievable.
Minister of War.
Did something happen?
You are better off...
not knowing, Commandant Park.
Why have you not been pressing the matter?
You should have known how she would react.
I heard things were busy at the Ministry of War.
Are you sure you can spare time away from the office?
This was made...
by a master in Cheongsong.
I obtained it myself to congratulate you...
on your promotion to Commandant.
Do you have any idea...
how exhausting it was to obtain this white celadon?
Commandant Park,
we have found the base of operations of the gang that kidnaps women.
Where is it? Lead the way.
- Not without me. - What?
Wait for me!
But...
I would love...
to also join you.
Have you heard of the masked figure...
who appears when the moon shines brightly?
- Yes, of course! - Who is this person?
He has been gone for some time now.
Calm down.
Please calm down.
Today, I will tell you all about her.
Her? Was this person a lady?
Gosh. I hear the figure was a skilled swordsman.
No way.
I call this woman...
the flower that blooms at night.
Help!
Please. Why are you doing this?
I was wondering who was once again disrupting the peace within the Capital.
It turned out to be you punks.
Who goes there?
I just got back to the Capital...
and this is more than a warm welcome.
You will be dead meat today.
Commandant Park!
Commandant Park.
Hey.
Run!
Darn it.
- Over there. - Got it.
Are you all right?
Who may you be...
to be wielding your sword within the Capital wearing a mask?
Did you not have faith in the Capital Defense...
and only returned because you were worried about the people?
Or perhaps...
there is another reason for your return.
It is not because of my lack of trust in the Capital Defense.
Now that I have you in my sight again...
You will never...
be able to escape my watch again.
I am not one to be easily caught.
However, I will give you the opportunity.
