I tried to free us from that dire fate.
I can't leave her there.
What if someone learns Ra-On is
Hong Gyeong-Nae's child?
Forced to be a "boy" often on the run,
I wanted to know why.
Ra-On.
Now I understand you.
You couldn't tell me of my traitor father
who caused 1000s of peasants' deaths.
Don't hate your father.
He wanted to give you a better world.
That's why.
Why even tell me?
Or else, tell me sooner?
Ra-On.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Mother.
Let me leave.
Ra-On.
I'll be back soon. Please.
Ra-On.
No, no. You can't.
He's waiting for me,
knowing nothing.
( Jahyeondang )
Did you wait long, Jeoha?
I planned not to smile seeing you.
It's way past the agreed time.
Will you punish me again?
You seem to expect it.
You're back safe. I forgive you.
[ Chapter 13: Tenderly, Goodbye ]
But where is everyone?
Hoon Nam dumped work on you?
I said I'd do it all.
Why? You have work.
I asked for all Dongungjeon duties for a while.
When you were ill,
I didn't see you for days.
Heck!
Be wary of jealous women.
If you want to hog me,
I permit it.
Jeoha.
I have a request.
What is it?
May I be only a step from you
all day today?
You may.
I'll lean on your shoulder,
- nap by your knee? - You may.
Look at me, not at books.
It's my turn now.
Are you prepared?
Pardon?
What is it?
Don't ask favours.
I'll do anything for you.
Jeoha.
I can't believe assassins
attacked you.
I am speechless.
I ordered your Dismissal,
yet you're back.
What if that shocks me more?
He loyally worked during your illness.
But, isn't it disloyalty to disobey his Dismissal Order?
I was dismissed, but in that crisis,
how could I not help?
Yes.
Thus Jeonha reinstated him.
Please be understanding.
Jeoha, please be understanding.
Please be understanding.
When the Royal Guards arrived,
there were only nine bodies.
Nine.
Yes, Jeoha.
If we'd taken one alive,
we could've questioned him.
Apologies.
They couldn't get in unnoticed.
Someone inside aided them.
Find the last man.
Yea, Jeoha.
Eunuch Hong.
A hurt hand is awkward.
Is it awkward to see me?
Pardon?
That day scared you?
I'm fine.
I wasn't hurt.
- How is Jeoha? - I'm fine...
As you see.
For some time,
I couldn't see you as yourself.
It's because I'm the Kim family successor.
That isn't wrong.
But...seeing your bare hand grab a blade aimed at me,
I felt sorry.
Was I too biased?
I owed you gratitude.
From now,
I've paid that debt.
I'll no longer hold back, consider you,
or ask favours.
I won't stop you.
Try your hardest,
then give up.
Jeoha, listen well.
These books need airing,
those are damaged.
Writing books are here.
Must I know that?
That can be done over time.
Now or in time,
it's my work.
Jeoha.
Shall I write you that bedtime story?
No need.
To hear it, I can call you.
You're right.
Ra-On...
Jeoha.
Stay like this for a bit.
~ maybe from long ago ~
~ before we were thrown into this world ~
Stay like this a long time.
~ as we interlocked our trembling fingers~
~ we vowed to protect each other ~
~ if we two become one again ~
~ let’s never say goodbye ~
~ even if a cruel storm shakes us ~
~ let’s not be apart ~
~ let’s not fall down ~
Jeoha is at Court again?
Yes, Lady.
Eunuch Hong.
Jeoha rejected my feelings.
So I'll hide my heart
to stay by him.
To stay by him,
you'll hide the truth?
Even if I'm unloved, I can help him.
Won't it be hard?
It'll be hard.
Maybe one day
he'll accept my love.
I'm pathetic.
Not so.
Take care of him.
You suit him.
You're my friend.
May I chat with you when I'm upset?
I must go.
I waited ages, hoping to spot Seja.
My feet are aching.
Excuse me, Lady.
Where'd you sneak off...?
- How are you here? - Sorry.
We must talk; I got help.
How are your wounds?
I'm fine. Much better.
You said you like a woman.
I thought about it.
Despite liking her, you won't marry
as she's unsuitable?
What do you imply?
I'll be your nest.
Since you can't avoid marriage forever,
why not choose someone to help you and Jeonha?
So you suggest that's you?
Yes.
Use my family and me to soar
to achieve your goals.
What is it?
Why look at me angrily.
I am angry, at myself,
always a step behind.
But this time I can't be late:
not for me; for you.
I don't see...
You must leave here.
And leave Jeoha too.
I can't give you my heart.
I won't pathetically beg for love
when you love another.
So...
you wish to be Sejabin,
while bearing this?
It's for my clan.
Your clan may prosper,
but you'll be lonely.
I don't mind
since it's a deal
for mutual gain.
I won't say 'come to me', just go out of danger.
I will leave.
Pretend you don't know.
The more you know about me, the less safe you are.
Eunuch Hong.
What do you mean?
- Do you...? - I just said,
pretend not to know.
Easier said than done.
I'll go now, Naeuri.
It's bad.
That assassin was caught
and sent to Uigeumbu.
If he reveals the truth...
What's this about?
What are you discussing?
Lord.
10 assassins went to Dongungjeon;
9 bodies were found.
So one is at Uigeumbu?
Yes, sure.
It wasn't White Cloud?
No, Jeoha.
They wear white masks
and write "cloud" on walls before leaving a site.
I know.
I see.
The masks aren't for disguise,
but to publicise their Society.
Publicise.
So they always leave evidence
of their aim at the site.
How? Like this.
( White Cloud )
Dongungjeon had none?
Nothing was left,
except harm to you.
Jeoha, it's Byung-Yeon.
You must come now.
Why'd you invade Dongungjeon
to harm Seja's life?
Spare me.
I did as I was told.
Who gave you orders?
Continue torture!
Stop!
Stop the torture.
Question him again.
Stop.
I ask again.
Who hired you?
Can you confess that to Seja?
Can I trust you?
If I do as you say...
Yes.
Only that way, you and your family will live.
White Cloud...
That night, someone let you in the Palace?
Yes.
Tell me.
The Palace...
has a White Cloud spy.
What?
Hong Gyeong-Nae died,
but his daughter with his ideals...
is in the Palace...
preparing a rebellion.
Who is it?
It's...
Premier Kim!
He admitted to committing treason.
You had no right to kill him without the King's Order!
Jeonha and you
keep hesitating, so I acted.
You killed him in front of me.
Don't you know it's treason?
If my act risked the nation,
slay me with your sword.
Jeoha, please refrain.
If something endangers the nation,
handle it swiftly.
That's why
I can't sheath my sword.
Jeoha, please refrain.
Jeoha.
Let go.
( Office of Eunuchs )
- Did you hear? - What?
That assassin confessed.
Hong Gyeong-Nae's child was behind it.
Is it your concern?
Stop your rot; eat.
That incident had a motive.
Rumour says
Hong Gyeong-Nae's girl is in the Palace
and let them in.
Enough!
What rot!
Just eat.
- Is it true? - It's true.
This is me.
"To my dear who is, and is not, here."
"Jung Duk-Ho".
Duk-Ho. Jung Duk-Ho?
Master Jung?
Yes, correct.
- You again? - Jung Duk-Ho is...
me.
Master Jung?
Yes, Mama.
Wasn't it Wol-Hee you loved?
What...w-what...
What do you mean?
Can't be.
I-I-I...
I-I...
I-I love...
You dare touch me?
That isn't it. The one I love i-i-s...
- Enough! - It's...
It's...
Hey!
It's you. You.
It's you I love.
~ it's melting, my heart is gently melting ~
~ my frozen heart is beating again ~
~ you woke me, who didn't know I was living ~
~ I open my eyes to my heart ~
We know whom Chool Sung met before dying.
We can meet him to get his information.
That Hong Ra-On wench
is boldly in the Palace.
- Yoon-Sung. - Yes?
What, Grandfather?
Visit the Queen before she gives birth.
Yea.
What is it?
She just birthed a boy.
Don't let his cries be heard.
Yea, Mama.
Good.
Kick.
Resent and hate me.
Oh goodness!
Mama...Mama.
Section Chief of Rites is here.
Welcome.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
What brings you to Jungungjeon?
Grandfather sent me on a pre-birth visit.
Premier Kim.
You killed a criminal
in Seja's interrogation?
Yes, Jeonha.
Such recklessness is unlike you!
Forgive me, Jeonha.
I couldn't come sooner
as I was confirming his words.
You found out about the spy?
Yes.
The culprit spoke the truth.
We got her identity.
(Hong Ra-On)
Hong Ra-On?
Is she Hong Gyeong-Nae's girl?
Yes.
We'll hunt her down.
They know the power of the name,
Hong Gyeong-Nae,
though he's dead.
So, what about Hong Ra-On?
I'll protect her in White Cloud.
We can't let her decide.
- You'll kidnap her? - We cannot...
leave her in danger.
Tomorrow,
we'll sneak her to our base.
A search begins tomorrow.
White Cloud must have more than one Palace spy.
We'll dig them out in a Palace purge.
We must find Hong Ra-On first
to make her our trump card.
Of course she will be.
You waited for me?
I need a favour.
Of me?
- What's... - It's that kid.
It's Eunuch Hong?
Last time,
you defied Premier Kim to save her.
Get her out of the Palace.
Take her somewhere secret.
Can you?
How can I sleep
with you there?
You look sleepy.
I said, don't stay up.
I want to see you all night.
See me all tomorrow.
Our daily life can suddenly
feel very precious.
A final time is like that.
Pardon?
Yes. That's right.
Small things of yesterday and today
can be very special
if it's like the last time.
Alright. I see.
Come closer to see my face.
Jeoha.
If I'd come to you as a nobleman's daughter,
would you have doted on me?
Isn't that obvious?
Then, Jeoha,
if I hadn't met you as a fake nobleman,
were we fated to meet?
No doubt about it.
I told you
we're fated to go round till we meet again.
But, Jeoha,
one day, after learning I'm a traitor's child,
won't you have regrets?
This moment now -
will you miss it once?
~ if thoughts of you pass by distantly ~
~ I toss and turn night after night ~
~ I'm not okay to say I am alright ~
~ again today, I'm sorry ~
~ but if you take yourself away from me ~
~ would that truly be me? ~
~ days and nights without you connect endlessly ~
~ I endure without the comfort that's you ~
~ love that clearly sparkled and all of you~
~ is scattering ~
~ though it hurts, fondly good bye ~
~ I won't exist without you for a day ~
~ all that we have ~
~ which is clearly shining ~
~ is scattering - fondly goodbye ~
~ Love in the Moonlight ~
Ra-On.
Eunuch Hong.
Anyone there?
Yes, Jeoha.
Did you cough?
Where's Eunuch Hong?
Hong...
I didn't see him this morning.
Jeoha, you're here.
What's the hubbub?
You missed the King's Order?
Royal Order?
What is it?
It's to root out rebels.
Hong Gyeong-Nae's daughter is here
for White Cloud.
We got her details.
What?
So you're checking young maids?
Yes, Jeoha.
I see. You may go.
Yea.
Wait.
What information?
You know how she looks?
We don't.
She'd be 18,
and once lived in Pyongan with her mother.
Her name is Hong Ra-On.
We summoned females of 18...
What did you say?
We summoned females of 18.
No.
That name?
Hong Ra-On, you mean?
The spy was 'Hong Ra-On' as a child.
She'd use an alias.
Excuse me.
What do I call you as a woman?
Hong Ra-On, Jeoha.
Ra-On.
