You have a guest...
You're sorrowful again?
Yes.
I saw someone like my child at the Lantern Festival,
so I can't sleep.
Let's say,
in a difficult moment,
you must let something go...
it must not be me.
Can you promise me?
Yes, Jeoha.
Good.
Now, my wish is fulfilled.
What wish is that?
My wish...
to fulfil your wish.
I found your mother.
~ will moonlight through clouds see my heart? ~
~ I hide in in an old wall's shadow ~
~ even nameless wildflowers accompany me ~
Mother.
~ why am I the only one crying? ~
Ra-On.
I'm sorry I'm late.
~ I miss you, the one whom I miss ~
Mother...
~ a love I can never forget ~
Mother...
~ my tears, my heart, are calling you ~
~ I love you, a love that I can't let go ~
~ I'm left behind, lost, with tears pouring down ~
I'm sorry, Ra-On.
Mother.
~ the only person in my heart ~
~ in thousands of memories ~
Why are you hiding it?
What do you mean?
Hong Ra-On's mother.
They seek each other.
Why are you...
keeping silent?
What if it is her mother?
I must reunite them.
What if their reunion endangers you?
If you bury the truth,
you and Ra-On
might be happy together.
I don't know what danger,
but I won't cause a broken family.
[ Chapter 12: Faith Becomes Fate ]
It must've been hard.
I've forgotten it all.
I thought I'd never find you,
but here we are.
But...
what happened?
A girl's a eunuch?
I'll tell you over time.
Don't worry.
I met good people and did well.
Jeoha is good to me too.
Jeoha...?
So that man...
is Seja?
Since I promised, I won't ask any more.
I'm curious and worried about your words,
but thanks for giving me a choice.
Jeoha.
Can fate be met or avoided just because you wish it?
That's what I want to say.
I'll release her from the Palace soon,
so don't feel let-down.
Yes, Jeoha.
See you soon.
Grandpa, I trust you.
Don't drink too much.
You rascal.
Do I look like a grandpa?
Let's go.
Now Ra-On must decide.
It isn't for her to decide.
The Palace?
Beside Seja, of all people.
This can't be.
You know that.
Jeoha.
I doubt it'll stop soon.
Sure.
Jeoha, wait here.
I'll fetch a parasol.
Go ahead.
You expected I'd say that?
Me?
Can you walk faster?
You never need to run in the Palace?
Never.
Yes, I know.
Then again,
did a Crown Prince like a eunuch before?
It happened somehow.
~ love is a star, shining on me ~
~ my love is a star, a shining person ~
~ I promise you, this will last ~
~ you're such a person for me ~
~ the day a long darkness fell ~
~ the person who embraced me quietly ~
~ I love you, love you, love is you ~
( Book of Records )
Are you alright, Jeoha?
What if you catch cold?
I'm scared.
Of what?
I'm so happy.
What if I've gotten someone else's happiness?
And so,
what if it's taken away?
You're that happy to see your mother?
Inside and outside the Palace,
I have a person to be with.
How can't I be happy?
If you're happy, I am too.
But,
you sound like you'll be fine outside without me.
I'm hurt.
Don't worry, Jeoha.
Where'd I go without your permission?
You mean it?
Of course.
I left it in Dongungjeon
as you ordered, but...
Good work.
If security tightens after this,
will you be alright?
If I wasn't going to act,
I wouldn't need to hide here.
We must show him
he's under close watch.
You may go.
Yea.
When will you let her know?
Hong Ra-On.
I am waiting
for when Seja can do nothing.
Know what these are?
What are they?
They're Appeals against your taking bribes for posts.
However,
why are there so many here
when I never saw a single one?
Chief Royal Secretary.
Tell me.
Jeoha.
Appeals of unconfirmed accusations
are merely attempts at slander.
Someone anticipated that response
and sent evidence along.
( Book of Records )
This records people who paid you for posts.
( Book of Records )
It details when, where, and which position went to whom.
Jeoha, it's a set-up.
Chief Royal Secretary.
I asked you to confirm it with the listed people.
What happened?
They all admitted it's true.
Jeoha.
I'm being framed.
You took bribes for official posts.
You abused your authority.
Minister Kim Eui Gyo...
Dismissed from Office!
Yea, Jeoha.
I'll carry out your Order.
Dismiss me?
Jeonha, please revoke the Order.
You must decide carefully
after conducting an official investigation.
Correct.
I am thoroughly investigating
all who let this happen
with the utmost rigour.
It's the Book of Records taken when I was robbed
by White Cloud that time.
However,
how did that reach Seja?
Exactly.
So, he ordered your Dismissal?
My lord, it's I, Chool Sung.
Come in.
Did you look into it?
I went to meet the informant
but he was already dead.
I think they eliminated him.
What?
There's no new information?
Hong Gyeong-Nae's daughter was called
Hong Ra-On.
She won't openly use that name.
Keep looking till it's clear.
Yea.
Aren't you Young Master Kim?
Tell Jeoha I came to discuss his marriage.
Yes, but he's in the library.
Shall I relay the message?
No. I'll go there.
Yea.
You see me with closed eyes?
Even asleep, you smile.
Yes.
I dreamed of you.
What was the dream?
It was the day you called me
'Ra-On' for the first time.
Sleep more, Ra-On.
Ra-On?
Hong Gyeong-Nae's daughter was called
Hong Ra-On.
Ra-On?
Hong Ra-On!
Dongungjeon?
Seja's arrogance can't be let be.
We must scare him so he won't talk back.
But that's...
treason, isn't it?
I have a plan.
Frame White Cloud mob?
The rebels are active,
so why not?
Get me ruthless men.
Once it's over,
they leave this mask behind and disappear.
Kill 3 birds with 1 stone.
We hasten Seja's wedding,
trump up White Cloud offences,
and make that rude Seja bow to us,
quite decisively.
But, Premier Kim?
He'll surely find out
but he won't stop us.
Wh-wh-why are you here?
I said if I see you again,
I won't forgive you.
Mama, honestly...
Why are you outside my Quarters?
Tell me this instant.
Today's cloudy sun is lovely...
Honestly, I can't forget the beautiful lady
who once lived here.
Someone who lived here?
A beautiful lady not me?
Is it Wol-Hee?
Now she's pointy...
She's gone.
What's that? Bring it.
I remember she liked them,
so I brought some.
Oooh...
Wol-Hee didn't like these.
Take them away.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Whoever she is,
you must've liked someone like me.
Sorry I misjudged you.
You may go.
Yea, Mama.
Why are you here?
Byung-Yeon.
Are you here?
Jeoha.
How have you been?
I sought his family
to at least know if you were dead or alive.
That's why I cut contact.
In the years he prepared for the Revolt,
did you think of how Ra-On and I lived?
Now,
we'll protect you both.
I refuse.
You'll involve Ra-On?
So thousands of innocents didn't die in vain,
please help us.
We know nothing of it.
Please...
take no more interest in us.
You're here.
Byung-Yeon.
Are you hurt?
Ah, yes, um, it was an accident.
In yesterday's training, a newbie made an error.
It could've been bad.
Is the injury okay?
Yes, I'm fine, Jeoha.
Captain Kim left the Palace?
- Already? - Yes.
He said he's too ill to train.
Yesterday's training hurt him?
Yesterday, no training occurred.
No training occurred?
Right, Jeoha.
It's Master Kim?
I'm on my way to your house.
Why go there so late?
I finally found out...
about the Hong Ra-On wench.
What did you find out?
That wench is in the Palace.
The Palace?
Are you sure?
Yes.
I must hurry this news over, so they can grab her.
So you haven't reported this yet?
No.
I found out just now.
I see. Then go.
I'll follow slowly.
Yea.
Naeuri.
I forgot to tell you something.
Speak, Naeuri.
You see...
Hurry.
Sorry for visiting late.
If it's about Sam-Nom, say nothing.
If that child needs anything,
I'll do it.
No. I must say this.
Eunuch Hong needs
to leave this place.
Kim Yoon-Sung.
It's not your concern.
She can't be here!
- The Palace is... - I will...
find a way.
While you two are together,
you're in danger too.
What if her finding her mother endangers you?
What is the danger
I will face?
Forget it.
If words could shake me,
I wouldn't have started.
So go now.
They must have
begun by now.
Anyone there?
Who's there?
Who are you?
I'm unarmed.
Whatever it is you want,
let him go...
before we begin.
It's you, Byung-Yeon?
Yes.
Sorry I'm late.
Jeoha.
Jeoha...
~ Moonlight Drawn by Clouds ~
Jeonha.
Oh, Premier Kim.
What do we do?
Did rebels attack Seja?
Yes, Jeonha.
You have to stay strong.
Seja went through danger
but I'm worrying in case rumours spread.
You want to call the Royal Guard head
to begin investigating.
But this incident can't leak outside.
Public sentiment could be stirred too high.
I'll handle this quietly
so the people won't rise up.
Is it all cleaned up?
Of course, Lord.
The King will keep this quiet.
We're fortunate.
Still, keep your guard up.
Yes, we're aware of that.
Excuse us.
What do we do?
We sent 10 assassins.
There were 9 bodies.
He escaped, right?
Report this or keep silent?
Um, I'm from Dongungjeon.
May I see Jeoha a moment?
You can't.
Is Jeoha alright?
Please tell me.
Move aside!
Please...
win through, Jeoha.
When will you come?
Jeoha, you can see me?
Dongungjeon was bloodstained
so we moved you here.
Jeonha forbade anyone here,
except Royal Physicians.
Not yet! Don't move.
There's something I need.
Send me a Dongungjeon person.
Jeoha.
I am here.
Are you alright?
Jeoha.
Do you remember
I was scared
to be so happy?
When you collapsed,
I was terrified.
"In the end,
my happiness
is being taken away",
is what I thought.
Never let go my hand.
I will never let go.
How impertinent.
No-one has my permission to take your happiness.
So don't cry.
I'll never let go your hand.
~ if you call for my love, I will be brave ~
~ embodied in frozen flower petals ~
~ on the day you come to me, in the blowing wind ~
~ so you won't pass me by, I'll look only at you ~
When will you return?
Before curfew bell!
You can't.
Return before sunset.
I must see you before then.
Understand?
Yea, Jeoha.
Where would you two go?
How can she be near Seja?
This happened while I lived in fear.
How can I sit and watch?
My Ra-On and Seja-Jeoha
are in love with each other.
Don't you know the implications?
It's this late?
Yes, Jeoha.
It's almost nightfall.
I see. You may leave.
Yea.
I told her to return before sunset.
I tried hard to free us from that cruel fate.
I beat that sweet girl
and made her live as a boy.
I can't leave her in the Palace.
If anyone finds out Ra-On
is Hong Gyeong-Nae's daughter...
( Jahyeondang )
Let's say,
in a difficult moment,
you must let something go...
it mustn't be me.
Can you promise me?
Don't worry, Jeoha.
Where'd I go without your permission?
Did you wait long, Jeoha?
