No!
Shoot him!
Capture him!
Yeo Wool.
Yeo Wool, stay with me!
I'm glad you're okay, My Lady.
Stop talking.
It's hurting you more.
My Lady.
I'm so sorry and
grateful for everything.
No!
Yeo Wool! Yeo Wool!
Yeo Wool.
Yeo Wool...
Yeo Wool!
Are you okay?
Take him away.
Son of a b****.
Since he got arrested,
everything will get revealed soon.
That palace lady
was a girl named Yeo Wool.
Everything will get revealed including
who was behind the killing of Yeo Wool
and who planned all of this.
Why are you...
telling me this?
I wanted you to know.
That the culprit will definitely get caught.
Your Highness, you must go back to the palace.
- Escort her. - Yes.
Escort Her Highness.
We'll prepare a litter and a cart to move the body.
Please wait here for a moment.
Byeol.
Bring Father to me as soon as we enter the palace.
From what I heard,
the ministers leave the palace earlier since it's winter.
He must've gone home by now.
What?
No.
I need to see Father.
Stop the litter for a second.
Stop for a second!
What's the matter, Your Highness?
I'm having travel sickness.
What's this now?
I don't feel well since I was shocked.
My house is close to here. Take me there for now.
That cannot be done, Your Highness.
I am saying I need to take a rest!
But there was an accident.
You must return to the palace.
Are you ignoring what I said right now?
I, the Queen need to go to my house now!
Change the direction immediately!
Your Majesty.
Her Highness the Queen changed the direction and went to her former residence instead.
What should I do?
You should head over there.
Your Majesty.
I will escort her to her chamber.
Thank you.
Come with me.
Do you know what you have ruined?
Father.
The world was about to become mine.
If only the prince were born,
this whole Joseon was about to be under my feet!
You should've protected the Queen's Palace quietly until then!
I told you to only focus on producing the prince!
Why...
Why did you do something so reckless?
How about you then?
Why did you try to kill His Majesty?
If only you didn't do such a thing,
I wouldn't have gone this far...
Are you saying you did a good thing then?
If only you didn't behave so recklessly,
it would've gone unnoticed!
If so...
If so, what should I do, Father?
What should I do now, Father?
Say that it is to protect the Queen
- and send soldiers to Jo Heung Gyeon's residence now. - Pardon?
The soldiers will arrest the Queen and Jo Heung Gyeon
as soon as Gae Pyeong confesses who he works for.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Make Hong Ki Ho interrogate Gae Pyeong.
We must reveal the truth.
Stop!
What a stubborn bastard.
I asked you why you tried to assassinate Consort Hong.
Who made you do it?
Do you think things would get covered up if you keep your mouth shut?
The rifle you were holding,
and the poisonous needle found from the officer you colluded with.
That is the evidence that the person behind this
is the same person who planned the assassination.
This case will not be closed because of you.
So you'd better confess every single thing.
- Guard! - Yes.
Bring the officer who colluded with this criminal!
Yes.
I need to know what is going on first.
Disguise yourself and visit the officer named Kim Yong Ho
and find out what happened to Gae Pyeong discreetly.
Yes.
His Excellency!
What's going on?
The royal guards are surrounding the house outside right now
in order to protect Her Highness!
What?
Make the Queen return to the palace right now.
I heard there was an accident.
It is dangerous to leave her at her residence.
King!
Grandmother.
Jo Heung Gyeon is
the one who was behind the assassination.
What are you talking about?
The culprit who got arrested from this incident
is one of Jo Heung Gyeon's men.
And the Queen planned to get rid of Consort Hong using him.
Is that...
really true?
Was it...
really Jo Heung Gyeon?
Does that mean
we brought in that horrible criminal's daughter
as the queen in the palace?
Grandmother.
Is anyone out there?
Your Highness!
Are you all right, Your Highness?
How could it be...
Your Excellency!
I do not know anything...
I just did what I was told to.
I'm telling the truth.
- Tie him up! - Yes!
Please let me live!
Please let me live, Your Excellency!
Please let me...
I'm a servant of this house.
I'm coming back from an errand for His Excellency.
What did you just say?
Even the officer already got arrested?
Yes, they found out that he's a spy.
He's being interrogated right now.
How could everything...
How could everything get revealed
all at once like this?
It's all over.
What do you mean, over?
What is?
Gae Peyong said he'll never confess.
He said he'd rather bite his own tongue and die.
Gae Pyeong isn't the problem.
The spy at the Royal Investigation Bureau got caught.
It's only a matter of time until he mentions my name
after being tortured.
What do you mean, the spy got caught?
Was there a spy?
- Pack the things you need. - Father!
We must leave this house immediately.
What are you talking about?
The royal guards surrounding the house outside.
What will you do?
We need to use Byeol.
The only person who can leave the house without looking suspicious
is probably her.
There still is no update from the interrogation area.
What is it?
Consort Hong has not been moving at all.
I called her several times, but she would not answer.
I think she is in a serious shock.
My Lady!
His Majesty is here.
You may put it there and leave.
She said she is sorry
and grateful before she died.
But I have not
done anything for her.
She returned his old master Baek Ja Yong and
you the favor that way since she felt guilty.
Why...
Why did Yeo Wool have to die?
She was just a young girl.
She was sweet and innocent.
The days she had ahead of her
should've been much longer than the days she lived.
It is all right.
What's it about?
Her Highness the Queen is feeling ill.
I think I should go visit a physician.
- Accompany her. - Yes.
Tell me who you work for right now!
I will tell you.
I will tell you everything.
Stop.
Tell me.
So the thing is...
Shut up!
If I told you, could you...
could you let me live?
You bastard!
Stop!
Gag him right now!
Yes!
Let go. Let go!
Let go!
Where's the training officer?
His Excellency Jo Heung Gyeon urgently sent a message.
I'll reduce the sentence if you confess.
Tell me who you work for.
You must...
keep that promise.
Who do you work for?
It's the...
The left state minister,
Jo Heung Gyeon.
His Majesty ordered us to capture the culprit
as soon as we get the confession.
- Capture the criminal, Jo Heung Gyeon immediately! - Yes!
Bring out the criminal, Jo Heung Gyeon!
Yes!
You bastards!
What are you doing right now?
We were told to bring Jo Heung Gyeon
to the Royal Investigation Bureau for attempting to
assassinate His Majesty.
What are you doing?
- Arrest the criminal immediately! - Yes!
Father.
- Protect Her Highness and His Excellency! - Yes!
Geez!
Let's go.
They're running away! They're running away!
The culprit is running away.
Don't lose him!
Let's hurry up.
Hop on.
Your Highness, hurry up and hop on.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Your Highness, hurry!
Come on!
We must arrest him.
I will dethrone the queen as soon as the day breaks.
Release the composite sketches of the two
and conduct a nationwide search.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Sir, are you in there?
What are you doing here?
Are you here to be my drinking buddy?
Okay.
I ran out of alcohol. Let's go out together and...
I said let's go. Why...
Hanyang is in chaos right now.
Jo Heung Gyeon's family is being chased for treason.
What are you talking about?
My Lady.
The tea is getting cold.
It's supposed to be very calming. Please try some.
I'm not interested.
Please take it back.
Pardon?
Yes.
His Excellency Baek Ja Yong...
ended up committing suicide.
I'm so sorry and...
Yeo Wool, stay with me!
I'm grateful for everything.
Unni!
No!
I'm just...
happy that I found you.
If you're put into danger too,
I won't be able to live.
The traitors took over the Queen's Palace
and acted proudly for being the Queen's father?
How does that make sense?
Please calm down, Your Highness.
The traitors will get caught soon.
By the way,
since the Queen's Palace is empty, will there be another selection?
He probably won't order another selection.
Now that we're in this situation,
I think he'll probably try to put Consort Hong in that spot.
What do you mean, Consort Hong?
That cannot be.
We must stop that from happening no matter what.
Yes, we will find a way.
My apologies.
I think she's very upset since the
palace lady she cherished died.
Consort Hong stopped eating anything.
So?
You still couldn't feed her the motherwort?
No, My Lady.
Forget about that for now.
You should replace that palace lady named Yeo Wool from now on.
Pardon?
She will probably start looking for a new palace lady.
I'm telling you to be friendly and attentive.
Start doing all the chores for Consort Hong.
And...
Report to me about every little detail.
Understand?
Yes, My Lady.
I need to have the upper hand no matter what.
I heard your contribution was big in finding the culprit.
Not at all.
I did not do anything.
I will discuss getting you reinstated with the King.
It was my mistake to
blame your family for everything
because of Jo Heung Gyeon's plot.
If it is not too late, you should
reclaim your position as the Queen, not Consort Hong.
His Majesty is here!
Your Majesty, do not get close to him.
Where is Jo Heung Gyeon right now?
You must have an idea.
You want to be loyal to Jo Heung Gyeon until the end?
Loyal?
You! How dare you behave that way...
When a seven-year-old gets injured,
his mother usually treats him.
I didn't have a mother,
but in that house,
there was a little girl who treated me with little hands.
The reason why I served that family my whole life
wasn't because of loyalty.
If so...
was it because of love?
I'm not willing to
answer any further questions.
Gag the criminal again!
We'll have to leave Joseon
as soon as a boat is ready,
Find a place we can hide in the meantime.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Are you all right?
Byeol.
I have a favor to ask.
Yes, you can ask me anything.
I will do anything.
In the house,
near the door in my room,
there's something I didn't get a chance to pack.
The soldiers probably didn't collect it.
Could you bring it to me?
What is it?
A keepsake from my mother.
A silver pocket knife.
Stop the interrogation.
He will never say where Jo Heung Gyeon is.
There is no point anymore.
If so, how would you like to punish the criminals?
You should also
punish the ministers who colluded with Jo Heung Gyeon,
not just those two criminals.
Traitor, Gae Pyeong killed countless people.
I order him to be beheaded.
And the officer who colluded with him will be put into jail.
Min Young Wan, the chancellor of the Royal Investigation Bureau and Park In Seo, the minister of rites
will be removed from their positions and exiled.
The chancellor of the Royal Investigation Bureau
is the Queen Dowager's relative.
Would that be all right?
I will not make an exception because he is a family member.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Highness.
I mean, Noonim.
Please...
Please help me just once.
I am the only relative you have.
You colluded with a traitor. How am I supposed to help you?
For what reason would I help you?
How could you say, "colluded?"
I did not know either.
How would I have known
that Jo Heung Gyeon did such a thing?
I was just...
keeping him close since I wanted to
revive my defenseless family.
Noonim.
Please, please help me out.
Please?
Just get punished for now.
While you are reflecting on yourself,
I will look for a chance to
talk to the King about it.
Gae Pyeong, who committed high treason
will be beheaded!
- Go ahead. - Yes!
When did you get here?
You're back for good, right?
Don't you dare disappear without telling me again.
There is no need to worry about me
because of my relative.
More importantly,
we cannot leave the Queen's Palace empty like this.
Let us find a way to get Consort Hong reinstated.
Although it feels a bit rushed,
but the country is in disarray since what happened to the prince.
Since this was started by Jo Heung Gyeon,
we should get the Queen reinstated
in the effort of restoring justice.
My Lady.
You haven't left the chamber in days.
Don't you feel trapped at all?
You should get some fresh air.
Chief Eunuch Hwang stopped by several times today as well.
He said His Majesty worries about
how you are doing a lot.
The moonlight is pretty tonight.
Let's go have a walk at least, My Lady.
Do you know where
His Majesty is by chance?
Your Majesty.
What are you worried about so much?
The Queen Dowager approved it too.
You just need to reinstate Consort Hong now.
Is it because you could not find a way
to clear His Excellency Kang Yi Soo's name?
Your Majesty, Consort Hong is here.
Why did you come out when it is cold outside?
It is because I heard you were here.
The Queen Dowager mentioned my reinstatement, did she not?
Is that why you are worrisome?
That must be why you came back to this place.
If you get reinstated as the queen,
you will have to live as Eun Ki instead of
yourself for the rest of your life.
How would I dare to
ask you to live that way?
Your Majesty.
I...
came all the way here
to find the culprit who killed my sister.
Although I found the culprit
and still haven't made him pay for it,
but the truth has been revealed.
And the criminals will get arrested soon.
But I still have not cleared your father's name.
But I am still
worried about my mother.
We have been living separately without knowing
whether the other person is alive for the last 10 years.
Stop.
Do not say it.
I want to leave the palace and
live quietly with my mother.
As myself, Eun Bo.
I realized when I lost Yeo Wool.
I do not want people getting hurt because of me anymore.
I do not want anyone to die anymore.
I am in fear every single day.
I am worried it would get revealed that I am neither Hong Yeon nor Kang Eun Ki.
I feel burdened from fooling everyone.
Please hang in there just for a bit.
I will find a way for us to be happy no matter what.
I will protect you.
How?
No matter what it takes.
If people find out that I am Eun Ki's twin sister,
the people that are the most precious to me
will get hurt again because I deceived everyone.
I mean my mother
and you, Your Majesty.
For me to leave this place
is the only way to
protect both you and me.
Sir.
Where are you headed to?
I'll go back to Hanyang.
Jo Heung Gyeon became a fugitive like me.
I must meet with him.
I need to find where he is first.
Let's try a different place.
I am planning to leave Consort Hong be for a while.
If so...
Are you suggesting leaving the Queen's Palace empty like that?
I thought her reinstatement was what both of you wished for.
We can always find a way to clear Kang Yi Soo's name...
Forgive me, Grandmother.
I just need time to figure things out.
Please give me some time.
Han Mo.
Go to the Royal Investigation Bureau and bring Wal to me.
Yes.
But for what reason do you wish to see him?
I am thinking of making Wal work in the palace.
Looks like the house has been shut down, sir.
Find out whether there are any rumors about
Jo Heung Gyeon's whereabouts at watering holes nearby.
I'll search inside the house and the surrounding area.
Yes.
You want me to work in the palace?
If I become a security guard in the palace,
doesn't it mean that I'm becoming successful?
He wants to award you for playing a major role
in tracking down the culprit.
I'll take him with me then.
- Pardon? Yes, sir. - I can't believe it...
Aigoo!
I'm sorry.
I wanted to check if I'm dreaming or not.
Wow, they say every cloud has a silver lining.
Can't believe this Wal is finally entering the palace.
Congratulations.
That's nice, but...
you'd better put this away first.
Perhaps you should stop addressing me informally.
"Stop addressing me informally?"
Look, Gi Chil.
Have a nice life.
Stop kicking your juniors on their legs and stuff.
By the way, don't the royal security guards
get paid quite handsomely?
How much is the salary?
It must be much higher than mine right now.
Well...
His Majesty sent me here.
He told me to wait until you finish it.
Chief Eunuch Hwang.
How is His Majesty doing?
He is all right.
He must be tormented right now.
Do me a favor.
Please take good care of His Majesty.
What is the matter?
I think I have been mistaken all this time.
I thought only His Majesty
was caring for you,
but now I realize that
you care for each other the same way.
I will follow your order, My Lady.
Officer Han, am I really living here from now on?
Being a royal security guard is the most prestigious position since you assist His Majesty.
And he gave you that chance.
So be thankful.
What are you talking about?
This man is His Majesty's security guard?
Is that true?
- Yes. - How could it be?
Does that mean that I'll...
have to see this face every day?
You are being quite rude right now.
Do you think I'm happy about that?
You're making me feel down all of a sudden.
Please shut that mouth. I beg you.
My goodness...
You have been working very hard.
Let me know if there is anything you want.
If so...
instead of making me join the palace,
perhaps you could give me a bit more money...
Please ignore that.
You don't have to. Of course not.
Do you hate to join the palace that much?
At first,
I was so happy thinking, "How could this happen to me?"
But I felt suffocated the moment I entered the palace.
Rather than working for the palace or the Royal Investigation Bureau,
living like a vagabond suits me better.
I heard you were like siblings.
You are alike each other.
Pardon?
Consort Hong lost her cherished palace lady
and she is very upset.
I thought having you around might cheer her up.
That is why I asked you to come temporarily.
- Please consider it as a favor to me and check on her often. - Yes.
And...
you may leave the palace with her
when she leaves.
What do you mean, "leave?"
What does that mean?
Sir.
I didn't hear any rumor regarding Jo Heung Gyeon's whereabouts.
Perhaps he already ran far away from Hanyang.
I couldn't find anything inside or near the house either.
Let's find a place to stay for the night first.
Yes.
You may leave.
I will let you go.
But before you do,
please give me some time.
Let us stay together like this
for just a little bit longer.
When the moment of truth comes,
I will let you go then.
I will reinstate your family
and let you have your name back.
And then you can leave as yourself.
Does that not sound good?
Your Majesty.
To be honest, I...
I did not want to leave as well.
I changed my mind several times a day
over and over again.
But...
I realized now.
That no matter where I am,
you will always be by my side.
That if I always long for you,
that means we are together.
I want to be your woman.
I love you.
Forever.
How come you're out here alone without Byeol?
The boat will be ready in a few days.
I received a letter from the ambassador of China once.
We just need to bring that to China.
It will be a long journey.
Take a rest while you can.
I do not want to go.
We already lost everything here.
I will not go.
You will not go?
Will you die or something?
I do not see why not.
It is because of you, Father.
Your greed ruined and killed me.
Do you think we came all the way here just because of my greed?
When I heard the King was resurrected,
the first thing I thought of was your face.
If I didn't...
want to make your wish come true,
I would've made the prince the king no matter what!
Should I take a deep vow to you
to thank you for it?
Forget about your foolish affection.
The King used you and that's all.
The King took you in as the queen
in order to save Consort Hong from the beginning.
What do you mean?
I asked you what you mean!
I will come back soon.
My Lady, are you that happy?
Wal!
I've known you for a long time, but I've never seen you making that face.
What are you doing here...
And what are you wearing?
Well, the thing is...
His Majesty gave me a special promotion
as a royal security guard.
He wanted me to see you often too.
His Majesty did?
But that face means...
Are you happy to see me or is it because you like His Majesty?
You came here to make fun of me, didn't you?
Right.
Thank you so much for working hard to find the culprit.
Don't mention it, My Lady.
I will get going.
The left state minister, the minister of rites, and the chancellor of the Royal Investigation.
We will have to hire new people to fill those positions.
Who do you think will be good?
Your Majesty.
What do you think of
Jung Ki Ik, the deputy right minister?
He gives rice away whenever there's famine
and let people borrow farmland free of charge.
Therefore, people trust him immensely.
His Excellency Jung Ki Ik?
His Excellency Hong Ki Ho
made recommendations for the left state minister?
Not only that he became the minister of justice,
but now he's also building his army alongside the King!
Can we just leave Hong Ki Ho be?
Consort Hong might actually become the Queen at this rate!
That's why I'm telling you to come up with a solution for it!
You know what Kwon Ik Soo heard from Jo Heung Gyeon once?
Kwon Ik Soo?
You mean the fact that Consort Hong
is actually the dead queen?
As long as we can prove that,
we can say Consort Hong is a traitor's daughter
and kick her out of the palace.
But there's no way that'd be easy.
So are you suggesting that we
sit and watch Consort Hong taking over the Queen's Palace?
We can't do that.
Seriously...
We can't just shoot guns her and kill her like Jo Heung Gyeon did.
Guns?
- Did you say "guns?" - Pardon?
Yes, that's it!
If Consort Hong is the Queen,
she must have a scar from the assassination.
You mean the gunshot wound?
But how will we prove that?
We can't make her strip in the middle of the palace.
You fool...
The palace ladies can see her naked!
That's it.
Have you...
assisted her when Consort Hong bathed
or changed her clothes?
No, Yeo Wool used to do that.
So I couldn't even go near her.
And someone else is in charge of that now.
You must do that from now on.
While assisting her,
you must find a scar on her body.
A scar?
What kind of scar...
do you mean?
We're not the King's guards. Don't worry.
Who are you?
Why? Why did you follow me?
I know that you were the Queen's palace lady.
Where is His Excellency Jo Heung Gyeon right now?
You should...
be with Yeon right now.
What brings you here?
My apologies.
I asked my lady
and she let me use her litter.
I came here because I needed to ask you something.
I heard His Majesty
already knows the fact that Eun Bo is
Eun Ki's twin sister.
Does he...
not know about
the prophecy yet?
"The world will change because of the aristocrat-born twins that were born in 1895."
Is that the one you're talking about?
Yes.
Eun Bo doesn't know yet.
But the fact that she's in the palace
makes me
feel worried to death.
By chance...
if the fact that they were twins gets revealed...
Who are you?
Tell Jo Heung Gyeon that Lee Jae Hwa is here.
Are you planning to go into exile?
Let's hear why you came to see me all the way here first.
You asked me
if I'd like to become the king once.
Do you remember?
I am here to ask a question this time.
Would you...
like to make me the new king of this country?
If we combine the rest of our armies,
we will be able to do it.
Wouldn't that be better than
running to a foreign country?
The whole country is looking for us obsessively right now.
Is there a way to avoid
the tight security?
There is.
Do as he says, Father.
Take everything away from them.
Just like how they took everything from us.
Do just as they did.
My Lady.
From now on, I will do my best
to assist you instead of Yeo Wool.
Thank you.
While assisting her,
you must find a scar on her body.
Your Majesty.
Where are we going to by the way?
You will find out once you get there.
Why are these musicians here?
I said I want to share a lot of things with you.
I just wanted to sit side by side with you
and listen to music together.
Get started.
Were you really that happy?
You did not even look at me during the performance.
Should I have been only looking at you
while the musicians were playing?
Is it not enough to just listen to gayageum?
You are joking, are you not?
I was happy just looking at you during the performance.
By the way,
are you okay, Your Majesty?
You have been looking a bit pale today.
I just slept poorly last night.
If so, you should go and rest.
Is your father still thinking about it?
He will decide soon.
I was surprised.
During the induction ceremony,
I could see you even though I was far away.
You were smiling very happily
by the King's side.
Are you testing me
since you're worried that my affection
might ruin your plan?
Your Highness!
I heard regular married couples cut off the tie
on their shirt when they split up.
As I decided not to die,
I cut up my heart as well.
Because he never even
thought of me as his wife.
Are you happy now?
Let's go, Byeol.
Your Majesty.
What is the matter?
Your Majesty!
Call the royal physician right now!
Are you all right? Your Majesty!
Please watch him by his side.
Where are you headed to?
I might get kicked out of the palace by His Majesty,
but I can't just sit and watch like this.
You mean Consort Hong did not have a scar?
No, I looked when she was changing.
But she didn't have a scar.
Look again more closely when you get a chance.
Pardon?
- Yes. - You can leave now.
What is going on?
She does not have a scar?
She couldn't have...
actually been Hong Yeon from the beginning, could she?
There's no way the Queen wouldn't have a gunshot wound.
We could find out if she's acutally Hong Yeon or not
once we meet with Hong Ki Ho.
I was thinking of
teach him a lesson sooner or later anyway.
He can really see the future in his dreams?
He started having prophetic dreams since he got shot.
Whenever you were in danger,
he said he saw it
happening in his dream beforehand.
That makes no sense.
How could it be...
How could something like that be possible?
How did you find me here, Your Majesty?
The King found the person who planted poison in your room.
I had a dream.
You got shot in my dream...
If so...
was all of that
because of the prophetic dreams?
If he does not undergo exorcism,
he will be in danger.
I need you to persuade His Majesty.
Your Majesty, you must rest longer.
Are you becoming like Chief Eunuch Hwang?
What is with the nagging?
Thanks to the medicine made by the physician,
I no longer feel dizzy.
By the way,
where is Chief Eunuch Hwang?
The thing is...
Your Majesty, Consort Hong is here.
Let her in.
What brings you here?
Did you already miss me by chance?
Please undergo an exorcism.
Chief Eunuch Hwang must have told you again.
I told you that I do not want you
to be in danger because of me.
As long as Jo Heung Gyeon gets arrested...
What if you are put in danger before that?
Did you think I would be happy as long as I am safe
regardless of what happens to you?
It is not like that.
Please listen to me.
How could you make me so shameless?
How many more people must I lose?
If something happens to you,
what would I do then?
Please undergo an exorcism.
Please?
Your Majesty.
Please do not worry.
Once I perform an exorcism,
you will no longer have dreams.
You must not tell anyone about this.
Yes.
Please do not worry.
He is in your care.
Yes, My Lady.
I will...
start...
performing the exorcism.
His Majesty will be all right.
Your Majesty, are you awake?
Are you all right?
Do not worry.
I am all right.
That is a relief.
I heard the exorcism went well.
She said you will be able to sleep
soundly without dreaming from now on.
Thanks to you, my head is finally clear
and I feel happy.
Shall we go take a walk?
Right now?
I want to walk with you.
Let's talk for a moment.
What is the matter?
I need to talk to you briefly.
It is a very urgent matter.
Let's go somewhere else.
It's about Consort Hong.
Don't you find it fascinating?
How could she look exactly like the dead queen?
What do you think as her father?
What do you want to say exactly?
There's a rumor that
she doesn't just look alike, but she's actually the dead queen.
Everyone who likes to chat says so.
They say the reason why
His Majesty is keeping you close lately
is because
your daughter is actually the dead queen.
Consort Hong.
Is she really your daughter?
I feel like I am dreaming right now.
Being under the sun with you
makes me forget about my power as the king,
duty, revenge,
and everything.
As long as I have you.
I feel the same way.
Have you decided?
What is the solution you have in mind?
I will reveal the truth about Consort Hong.
By "the truth,"
you mean the fact that she's the dead queen?
No.
She's not the dead queen.
She's her twin sister.
If this truth gets revealed,
neither Consort Hong nor the royals
will be left unharmed.
She's not the dead queen.
She's her twin sister.
If this truth gets revealed,
neither Consort Hong nor the royals
will be left unharmed.
[ Queen: Love and War ]
Bring the record of the prophecy from 20 years ago.
The prophecy about the twins.
They were twins!
She was the dead queen's twin sister!
Is that true?
How did you know that, Your Highness...
Please reveal all the truths about Consort Hong.
There was an ominous prophecy about her before she was born!
That means this is an ill-fated relationship!
I love that woman, Grandmother.
I do not believe in such thing as a prophecy.
I want that woman to go to hell like me.
I'm thinking of taking her putting her by my side.
She'll have to watch the King dying in front of me.
