"There's something I didn't tell you"
"about your father."
"Meet me as follows..."
~ will moonlight through clouds reflect my heart ~
I will...
never forgive you.
~ nameless wild flowers are beside me ~
~ why am only I shedding tears? ~
~ I miss you, I miss you so much, the one I can't forget ~
~ my tears, my heart, are calling you ~
~ I love you, I love you so much, the one I can't send away ~
~ left behind, I lost a place to go ~
~ so I am crying ~
I'll only hear you.
No matter what lie you tell,
I'll believe it.
Was everything you showed me
sincere?
Forgive me, Jeoha.
You were correct.
You must flee.
Jeoha.
Minister Kim.
Why are you here?
I was curious who tried to entrap me with a fake letter.
It was you?
Jeoha.
I merely came on a tip-off
someone was meeting a rebel here.
Who dared frame Seja for treason?
Bring him to me!
That's the only way you'll live.
Understand?
Yea, Jeoha.
[ Chapter 15: All The Lies That Seemed True ]
Is Ra-On safe?
Yes, Jeoha.
I'll relocate her safely
so don't worry.
I can't know
where that is, right?
If you know, she'll suffer.
How'd the one
who makes Ra-On suffer become me?
I see.
I won't ask questions.
We have no time.
Take care of her.
Go on.
Jeoha.
Don't wonder where I am.
Whatever you hear about me,
don't be swayed.
I'll do the same.
Bingung (Crown Princess).
You must be bored in the Royal Villa.
Not at all, Mama.
I have Palace rules to learn
so the days fly by.
You're studying hard as Sejabin.
Bingung.
Do you know why the wedding date hasn't been set?
Pardon?
The Astronomy Office will choose a date.
What's the point?
Seja is making excuses to keep delaying it.
Aren't you curious why?
Jeoha must have his reason.
He does.
Ever since his girly-looking eunuch vanished,
he's been heartbroken.
Pardon?
What do you mean?
Please comfort him
in my stead.
Yea, Mama.
You know Hong Ra-On's location?
I don't.
I only escorted Seja.
When I arrived,
Hong Ra-On had gone.
Who plotted that?
Since they used my name to lure them,
it was...
an insider.
Premier Kim frames us for crimes.
Now, we suspect one of us?
If I find out who betrayed us,
I will... not forgive him.
Mother, you must rest.
I'm fine.
I'm used to it.
Go to bed.
You didn't rest all day.
I'm fine too.
I'm Sam-Nom, born for big deeds,
capable of anything.
You must resent your father.
For making us suffer?
Mm.
You said it was a vital cause.
Yes.
True.
But...
I hated my husband doing it.
Rather than big deeds,
I needed a man to eat, sleep, laugh and cry with.
Won't I hate him?
Mother, that sounds like you miss him and long for him.
Goodness. Just sleep.
I'll finish it.
Done for the day. Let's sleep.
Sleep.
Had you seen this letter before?
Speak truth; I won't harm you.
Did you
leave this on my desk?
Yes, Jeoha.
Who gave you it?
Punishment isn't my aim.
I have questions, so answer me.
I'd never seen him before.
He asked if I cleaned Dongungjeon.
He gave me two nyyang.
Can you recall his face?
Send an artist right away.
I've thought hard
You betrayed White Cloud.
Will you betray me?
I trust money's power,
not you, Premier Kim.
You buy what you need,
I sell what I can. That's all.
Here's the agreed pay.
But...
bring that wench,
Hong Ra-On.
Wait. Go, go, go.
Naeuri, hello.
Here.
Oh my.
How have you been?
With her around, the gisaengs don't stop smiling.
They adore her, more than they adore you.
I'm relieved.
You requested such a favour?!
Whose baby is she?
Won't you tell me?
She's a homeless orphan.
Oh dear. Poor mite.
I'm a lowly gisaeng,
but I'll raise her well.
Ra-On.
What's up? Come in.
Mm, I will.
Ra-On!
Let's go.
Mother. Mother.
Mother.
Are you taking care of yourself?
Yes.
I'm happy to birth a prince.
I feel light-hearted.
He's very handsome.
Really?
Are you happy?
Of course.
Words can't express it.
Truly...
you're happy?
I'll go now.
What are you doing?
A White Cloud is acting as Premier Kim's dog?
So...?
What?
If I'm caught, what happens to White Cloud,
and you and Chief Han?
You can do nothing to me.
You fear your spy place beside Seja will be exposed.
Right?
What?
That thought hurts?
That's why I warned you...
Seja is not your friend.
Stop!
Captain Kim.
Seja ordered us to arrest him.
We caught the culprit who broke into Dongungjeon
to frame me for treason with a fake letter.
Jeoha, is that true?
Who broke into your quarters to commit
that heinous deed?
He says
somebody hired him.
Send that criminal to Uigeumbu.
I'll interrogate the one
who tried to frame you.
He requested a public interrogation.
He'll expose the truth in front of everyone.
Don't worry.
He must know he can't speak up.
Shouldn't we meet him before it's too late.
If I guessed correctly,
you were Father's friend
and worked with him.
Correct.
I searched for you
to share your father's goal.
I don't wish to.
Is Seja the reason?
Jeoha is delaying his wedding.
He eats poorly
and sleeps badly.
Ra-On.
While untangling thread,
when you face a knot
impossible to unravel,
you must
cut it out without hesitating.
Understand my meaning?
That's best for Jeoha.
I'm sorry.
Take care.
I'll be back.
Why are you here
this late?
Why are you here, Jeoha?
I want to see why he tried to harm me.
We came in curiosity about the criminal.
You mean that man?
Yes, Jeoha.
But...
how'd you know it's him I spoke of?
I told no-one
his name or appearance.
Well...
Commandant.
Do you know
his name or crime?
I don't, Jeoha.
We will ask him
just who's behind him.
Get him up.
Get up.
Jeoha!
Did you
touch him before interrogation?!
Jeoha.
Is Premier Kim absent?
I'm here to see you.
I faithfully served the nation longer
than your Regency.
But I can't serve while suspected of crimes.
So then...
you're turning in your Premier's Directive
and Seal and robes?
I'll return everything
and prove my innocence,
so please permit it.
Clear your name another way.
We're all sinners.
Accept the dismissal.
If you trust my loyalty,
I'll capture all the rebels
who put us at odds.
High treason?
[ Hong Ra On, Age 18, Traitor ]
A criminal?
A traitor?
- Goodness. - My gosh.
Let's go.
I think
remaining in the capital
is too unsafe for her.
She'll leave soon?
Ra-On.
While untangling thread,
when you face a knot
impossible to unravel,
you mustn't hesitate to cut it out.
Does she really not
have anything she wants to ask me, or hear from me?
Or argue?
Or request?
Or wonder how I am, or miss me?
Is she even alive?
Byung-Yeon.
I said I won't ask-
I take it back.
Once.
Just once,
let me see her?
Ra-On.
Should we
move far away?
To Qing or an island,
far from here.
Where no-one recognises us.
How about it?
Sure. Let's move.
Let's live elsewhere.
But, Mother,
before that,
I've something to do.
What is it?
I must farewell him
so he'll live well without me.
Even if someone replaces me...
So he forgets you?
No.
So he won't be sorry.
~ I miss you, I miss you so much, the one I can't forget ~
~ my tears, my heart, are calling you ~
~ I love you, love you so much, the one I can't send away ~
~ I'm lost, left behind you, so I cry ~
~ You ~
Her life is pitiful.
Her father was a rebel, and she was in a troupe.
She lived firmly
without parents.
Surely...
you don't love a traitor's daughter?
You useless boy!
I said to tell me if you need a woman to draw.
I can send you gisaengs from all over the nation!
Like you, Grandfather?
Spend one night with them, then abandon them?
Woman, man, or your own child,
you discard them when they're not useful.
That's our family tradition?
I should live that way?
What's so hateful?
It's the picture in your head.
You drew a big picture,
with me in mind.
Yes, I had a picture of your future for our clan.
Do you hate all of it?
Yes.
Even if it's humble and crude,
I'll draw my own future.
Ra-On.
Why'd you ask to see me?
Why are you wary?
Did anyone follow you?
Did meeting you here
endanger you?
This moment with you
is perilous for me.
One word from you
can get me arrested.
Ra-On.
Put that down.
I would never
order you killed.
Must I say such absurdity?
Many things changed
since when you knew nothing about me.
What's that mean?
I heard Jeonha is unwell, ill in his mind,
because of my father 10 years ago.
You'll hurt yourself.
Put down that knife.
You must resent my father.
However,
I'm resentful too.
Who made my father a traitor and killed him?!
I told you
I'd believe what you tell me.
Even your lies.
I understand, so stop.
I shall never...
ask to meet you again.
~ love is over - love is over ~
~ love is over - it hit my heart ~
~ even my heart is bruised ~
~ Moonlight drawn by Clouds ~
Seja will escort you soon.
(Groom traditionally escorts bride)
Are you prepared?
Yes, Father.
This stuffy Villa life is ended.
The Palace seems splendid,
but it's not as it looks.
Your frank personality
may find Palace life hard.
You worry too much.
You forgot who I am.
Ha-Yeon.
Yes.
It's my last time calling your name
as your father.
Please,
stay strong
and take care.
You're talking
as if we won't meet.
Jeoha, you grew up
and are marrying.
I'm deeply moved.
It feels like yesterday when I first met young Seja.
Jeoha.
Live long, healthily,
and happily.
~ do you know my heart? ~
~ my tears are telling you ~

What took so long?
The wedding begins soon.
Bingung needs time to adjust.
Take care of her.
Jeonha, Uigeumbu Chief is here.
Let him in.
Jeonha...
Forgive my intrusion.
Jeoha.
Jeoha, bad news.
Jeonha collapsed.
What?
I beg your pardon, it's..
- It's... - Spit it out.
Uigeumbu Chief just advised Jeonha
Hong Gyeong-Nae was arrested.
