[ Episode 19 ]
I thought you could accomplish nothing.
But haven't you done too much...
Lee Do?
Are you Jeong Gi Joon?
It's been a long time, Lee Do.
You were Jeong Gi Joon?
Jeong Do Jeon's flesh and blood...
has been living as a butcher in Banchon?
Can you imagine how I've felt?
Did you see my letters?
Yup, I saw.
They are incomparable to anything else.
They are spendid letters.
Hence.
I, Jeong Gi Joon,
by risking my very life, am about to block those letters.
Is that so?
Great. Fine then.
Then let's you and I
try and have a talk then.
No, you punk should be talking to me.
This was
the Milbon hideout.
Garion!
You punk were a Milbon?
I'll be damned.
I set him free with my hands without knowing it!
Chae Yoon, come this way. Look at this.
It's another path.
Exactly why?
Where did you get the ridiculous notion of creating letters?
It's the reason why your uncle who was Teacher Sambong would understand.
Teacher Sambong...
would understand the King's letters?
That genuine parliament system you guys so desperately long for,
that is not the only ideal of Sambong.
Teacher Sambong...
spoke of opening the path of discourse.
Of course.
Teacher Sambong said
there were no official censors during the time of Yosoon (Yao and Shun),
a noble or a commoner, a public official or a craftsman or a low-born,
there were none who could not remonstrate.
However, once the censor office was created,
the path of discourse actually became more blocked.
And the people have no method to protest the politicians.
So how is this era, compared to the era of Yao and Shun,
be called the era of a peaceful reign?
He once said that.
Hence?
Hence, I shall, through my letters,
not the path to spoken words, but the path to written words, is what I will open.
Path to written words? Path of letters?
Instead of communicating through the officials,
through written words,
they themselves communicate.
How is this,
a violation of the Neo-Confucian ideal?
Out of regard for Sambong,
you came up with the new letters and path to writing?
It's quite bizarre.
But quite commendable.
However, you see...
I don't object to the new letters solely on that.
What is it?
What do you suppose it would be?
Because they defy Sino-order?
Teacher Sambong is someone who was prepared to attack all the way to Liaodong.
Does it seem to you that I, his descendant, would object because of the likes of the Sino-orders?
Sinophilism and subservience are just Joseon's practical tactics to survive.
In that case,
it's for the reason you had the slave Seo Yong intrude into the exam plaza
in order to disrupt the ranking system?
That is, in the end,
an issue in the vested interests of you aristocrats, no?
It's not vested interests!
Not vested interests, but order!
Not vested interests, but harmony!
Not vested interests, but balance!
Don't speak so lightly calling it vested interests.
Why?
We, Sadaebu aristocrats, are different from Goryeo's nobility.
No, we're a hierarchy different from any other hierarchies that ever stood on these grounds.
Lee Do.
How are you the King?
What is the reason you are the King?
You are the King because you are the grandson of Lee Seong Gye and the son of Lee Bang Won.
It was the same for the Goryeo nobles.
The reason they were nobles,
was because their fathers were nobles.
Because their grandfathers were nobles.
They were just born into nobles.
However, you see.
A Sadaebu aristocrat doesn't become an aristocrat just because their father was an aristocrat.
They hone their minds, they polish, they cultivate, they study, and through the institution of the civil exam,
when their skills are acknowledged, they become an aristocrat.
An aristocrat is not born an aristocrat.
An aristocrat is not a name for a rank.
An aristocrat has the mark of qualification, of cultivation and of skills.
Don't you, so easily,
denounce it as vested interests!
Fine, I will acknowledge that.
And this Joseon was not erected by the Lee clan.
It was the rising aristocrats and the Neo-Confucian scholars
who enthroned the Lee clan and erected this nation.I will acknowledge that as well.
However, you aristocrats will decay as well, in the end.
Aristocrats will grow their ambitions in accordance to their competence.
And they will develop vested interests.
And they will want to pass on their vested interest to their descendants.
Why? Because they are human.
I understand.
Fine if you want to bet on it.
Sadaebu aristocrats, in the future,
that dirty preferential system of the latter Goryeo era nobility, that you yourselves broke... you will resurrect it.
And like the dead, you will rot and reek.
In that case, so that the aristocrats don't become like that,
those ambitions, who will hold them in check?
As the King is one who is always held in check,
there is a limit.
Hence, I,
will proxy that role unto the people.
For the people to gain strength and share power.
For that new order, new harmony and new balance!
Hence, my letters, for that new world,
they will be that small start.
Ambition of aristocrats?
Then...
What about the ambition of the people?
Ambition of the people?
Why, those rotten bastards!
They made this underground pass under Banchon?
And we had no idea...
Did you say the ambition of the people?
Yeah! Ambition of the people.
That gigantic and frightful ambition of the masses!
What are you going to do about that?
Anyone who stands in the center of power will meet it.
The enormous people.
Big as the ocean,
that enormous people.
More precisely,
the enormous ambition of the people.
That which is called the ocean,
because they will meet that enormous nature,
I have met it as well.
It's the people.
Yeah.
I've met it as well.
The enormous ambition of the people that will swarm.
When you meet that, you will be overwhelmed by terror.
Why?
Because their ambition can't be all realized.
Why?!
Because when all their desires are let loose all at once, the world will become a hell.
The one who actually met that was Qin Shi Huang.
He tried to govern the world with strong laws.
However that was not enough.
Hence, Confucius and Mencius were needed, and why Zhu Xi came about.
To govern the frightening and enormous ambition of the people.
Just as the Roman Empire of the West used Christianity to govern.
Just as the Three Hans and Goryeo were ruled by Buddhism.
It's all because of that ambition!
Buddhism or Confucianism, or the Christianity of the West,
they all only differed in name.
The did not differ as control systems of ambition.
However, your letters are about to tear down that control system for that ambition.
You are opening the door to hell.
How is that hell only?
If the people learn writing and they learn the Three Bonds and Five Relationships, they will know the duties of a human.
And they could get closer to the ideal of Neo-Confucianism.
But that is hell?
When the people learn writing, they will read and they will write.
And as you know, that is a joyful thing.
If they know that joy, in the end, they will have wisdom.
Anyone who grasps wisdom will want to use it.
What will they use it for? It's ambition.
And how is that hell?
Don't you know that?!
Their ambition will end up in politics.
They will want to participate in the policies of the nation, and they will proceed,
to elect their ruler on their own.
They will pick their own ruler?
And that is the hell you speak of?
Lee Do !!!
From east to west, old to new, how can there be such an irresponsible system!?
Politics are a responsibility.
Since the dawn of history, the essense of politics never once changed.
Politics are solely a responsibility!
However, they themselves pick their ruler?
Then when that ruler misgoverns, who will be held responsible?
Should all the people who picked that ruler be killed?
How is it that you have such a lack of trust in people?
How did this happen to you, Jeong Gi Joon?
Because I have lived as one of the people.
There is no hope to them.
What causes history to progress isn't the unenlightened and unmatchably fickle mass.
It is the few who can be responsible.
If that is truly what you believe,
then it is indeed a pitiful deed.
Pitiful?
You are more pitiful to me.
Why?!
Because I know your real intention.
Shall I speak of the King's real intention?
Share authority with the people?
Is that what you said?
No it is not.
The King's real intention is to share responsibility.
Hey, isn't this Dodam-daek's house?
So they connect like this.
Let's hurry and report this.
And catch that bastard Garion, no?
Aigo, so you were here.
Garion mister came earlier and left again.
Where...where did he go?
That is... a secret.
Why, you bastard! Want to die?
Sir! Sir!
I'll tell you.
Jungyunahm. He went to Jungyunahm.
With His Majesty, and Royal Guard Commander and the court miss So Yi.
To have a drink, I think.
I'll go to Jungyunahm.
You go to the palace and send for troops at once.
Alright.
You are not trying to share authority.
You are trying to share responsibility, aren't you?
Lee Do!
Because they don't know writing, without knowing the reason...
you will make it so that no one dies wrongly so?
If everyone knows those easy letters of yours, you see.
Knowing precisely the reason,
without the ability to say they've been wronged, they will have to die so.
The people.
Once epidemic spreads, whether they can or can't,
creating a sytem to feed medicine to each and everyone of those people,
is the duty of the politician.
You create letters and have them learn them, and you say, "now you know writing so save yourselves."
Is that the attitude of a King?
The citizenry should be looked after and embraced only.
Want me to tell yet another real motive of the King?
You are now, of the people,
tired of them.
Isn't it true?
You're tired of the people so you created the letters, no?
You guys, like three-year-old children,
just keep on badgering the world.
Your Majesty.
Don't they call you the monarch who loves the people?
Love? You don't love the citizenry one bit.
One man loves a woman and meets with the woman then escorts her home.
But that's too troublesome to you.
So you buy a sword and put it in her hands, and say, "now you protect yourself."
That is what you're saying.
How can you call that love?
It is love.
Say that it is love.
I love my people.
No,
you find them troublesome.
Here, now you know writing so go and resolve everything on your own.
If you still say you're miserable, then that's all your own fault!
That is your real intention.
You punk ! How dare you?!
Bonwon,
are you alright?
I'm not done yet.
I need to talk with you more.
I still have things I need to say to you!
But, what can be done?
Since the balance of power is broken.
Your Majesty.
Please be cautious.
As for me, you see.
I will kill all who know these letters.
And I will find the Haerye (explanations and examples) of these letters and burn it away.
Your letters are letters that are as scary as a plague.
No matter what the cost is,
I will block them.
Farewell, Lee Do !
Your Majesty!
Oh no, what to do?
Since the balance of power is even again?
Here, let us debate again, Jeong Gi Joon.
Garion is Jeong Gi Joon!
Yoon Pyung, kill Lee Do.
Then, your head will be hacked and fly off too, Garion.
Ahhh.. Jeong Gi Joon.
I don't care.
If Lee Do and I die, many things will be resolved.
Kill him, Yoon Pyung!
No, Elder Bonwon.
Kill him.
No I can't.
I won't.
This pathetic scum.
No, the pathetic scum is me.
To think I didn't know you were Jeong Gi Joon,
and I set you scum free with my own hands.
Kang Chae Yoon, indeed a lowly thing is different.
How are you sticking to the King's side?
Try and babble more.
Kang Chae Yoon!!
His Majesty's safety hangs on it.
Don't you act rashly!
You are not lowly because your rank is lowly.
It's that slavish spirit from that lowly father and lowly blood that makes you cheap.
You're so desperate to obey the enemy of your father?
Jeong Gi Joon.
Orabeoni!
You can't.
Don't you know!
He's trying to get you to kill him to kill His Majesty.
Kang Chae Yoon, so you can't slay?
What do I do?
What must I do here?
In a pinch, everyone will have each other slain.
Orabeoni!
And Yoon Pyung.
Put your swords down at the same time.
Unless you want everyone to die here together.
Do as I say.
I said, put your swords down at the same time.
Don't put it down!
Do you intend to kill Bonwon?
Put your sword down.
That's how you can save Bonwon.
Orabeoni, put your sword down.
His Majesty's life hangs on it.
You pathetic punk!
What are you doing?
Kill Lee Do !!!!
Bonwon, I only move for Bonwon's safety.
You two...
at the count of three, throw away your swords.
1.
2.
3.
Royal Guard Commander.
Let's withdraw the swords.
For now,
take Bonwon and leave here.
Lee Do...
I, definitely,
will block your letters.
You won't be able to block them.

Garion is Jeong Gi Joon?
Yes.
Garion had plotted to win His Majesty's trust from the getgo.
In exposing the Milbon killings of the scholar officials,
he even carried out His Majesty's secret order.
That's why we...
couldn't grasp those scum's identity.
And those scum were able to root out our secret.
What does His Majesty say?
Yes, he did not give any particular instructions.
But shouldn't we begin by searching Banchon and tracking down the Milbons?
There was a Milbon hideout in Banchon.
Milbon members Dodam-daek and Ggeutsoo
have already vanished without a trace.
Every minute is urgent.
Since Milbon said it will block the promulgation of the letters.
Wouldn't their counterattack start now?
It seems we have to speed up the promulgation operation as well.
Prince Sooyang has sent the translation to Gaeseong.
So Prince Gwangpyeong will work on the print job right away.
Though we'll have to search Banchon, as you know,
Banchon is a place that needs His Majesty's sanction.
I must see His Majesty.
Want me to tell you yet another real motive of the King?
You are now tired of the people.

Indeed such a colossal deed
took place at Jungyunahm.
Now that the identity has been exposed,
Bonwon's safety is even more compromised.
However, under a situation like that,
a heated argument?
Hamgildo provincial governor, Lord Lee Chi Seong sent a letter.
That Prince Gwangpyeong left Hamgildo to head to Gaeseong.
Gaeseong?
Gaeseong's Chongji Temple.
Isn't Chongji Temple where they've been printing the Buddhist scriptures since the days of Goryeo?
Doesn't this mean Prince Gwangpyeong is working a secret printing operation?
It seems I need to go and find out the details.
Yes, I need to ask Bonwon.
Bonwon,
Lee Chi Seong sent a letter.
It seems Prince Gwangpyeong is working on a secret printing operation.
Shouldn't we send Pyung to find out the details?
Hmm... Do that.
Yes.
I heard about what happened at Jungyunahm.
If the King truly has the intention to reconcil with us...
There's one part in what Lee Do said.
There's a part we need to dwell on.
What is that thing?
Isn't the ideal of Buddhism for everyone to be Buddha?
And the ideal of Neo-Confucianism for everyone to be Junzi?
Yes, that is right.
But if, ,
people really learn the letters then,
more easily, the Three Bond and Five Relationships,
will they be able to learn them faster?
If the people, through easier writing, learn and cultivate the three principles and five disciplines,
will they be able to achieve Neo-Confucianistic order?
Wouldn't they be able to?
In Teacher Sambong's doctrine on people,
care for the people,
love the people,
respect the people,
protect the people,
ease the people,
and rear the people, right?
In truth, if people learn writing and are awakened,
isn't that close to what rearing the people means?
Of course, it's not that I don't know what you're worried about,
but whether the citizenry learn writing,
they have weary lives of their own.
If if they were to learn, how much could they learn?
In addition, whether they know writing, what can they accomplish with it?
In east to west, old to new, how can there be such an irresponsible system?!
Politics are a responsibility.
Since the dawn of history, the essence of politics has never once changed.
Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, we must search the entire Banchon.
We need your royal sanction.
Banchon is a place where royal forces are banned to enter without Your Majesty's royal command.
Under the current matter, it seems it isn't senseless for you to grant your permission.
We have to do that.
Your Majesty, please solidify your mood.
We will definitely mop up the Milbons.
Yes, you must.
There has to be something here!
Look thoroughly!
Here.
Search here.
Hey.. search here and here.
Yes.

What is that suppose to mean?
Bonwon's treason post has been plastered?
Milbon has been exposed.
Then you mean, Bonwon's identity has been detected?
Your Excellency, Lord Shim Jong Soo...
Exactly, what is going on?!
I've received communication from Bonwon.
He was called to Jungyunahm last night and his identity was exposed.
Then, His Majesty has found out that Garion is Jeong Gi Joon, you mean?
Thankfully he was able to pull out safely and it seems he's hiding somewhere safe.
He only sent a letter to say he will contact us so to wait.
What's this...
This!
Did he, His Majesty,
truly gave his permission to search Banchon?
It was too important of a matter.
Well, this is inevitable.
The leader of Banchon, Madam Dodam and many others are believed to be involved with Milbon.
No way...
How could those traitors have hidden in Banchon?
Moreover, wasn't Madam Dodam
a leader of Banchon?
When things are like this, why is that that I can't find
His Excellency, Jo Mal Saeng from anywhere?
I guess his illness has relapsed.
He didn't even come to the palace for work today.

Listen here !
Listen here, Lee Bang Ji !!
I was the one who told Sir Kang Chae Yoon about Garion's whereabouts last night!
Are you telling a truth?
Even when Sir Kang Chae Yoon and this other soldier went to arrest Garion...
If I ever commited a sin,
I should only be asked for eating the meat
he slaughtered secretly.
Why, didn't you eat them openly?
Me, you know!
I'm someone whose constitution doesn't agree with meat!
Please save me, Officer.
Oh my.
Me, you see...
The only offense I have is that my husband died first.
But isn't it too harsh to capture my Yeondoo too?
It's because Yeondoo and Gaepayi are close.
What?
Orabeoni.
Why did you want to meet here? You know I don't like it here.
I wanted to request a favor.
Over there, that child,
she's a girl who lives in Banchon called Yeondoo. Her friend is Gaepayi.
So I think she might know something.
But when I ask her she just cries.
So I thought if you could ask her instead.
Then...
Set her free first.
Well that's a little...
In a place like this, she won't be able to say anything from being too scared.
Alright, let's do that then.
But how is His Majesty, by the way?
Well that...
I'm feeling apprehensive.
Why apprehensive?
It's just that His Majesty should be giving the next order quickly.
His Highness, Prince Gwangpyeong,
since he's fighting alone without support right now.
[ Gaeseong Chongji Temple ]
Is this it?
My brother, Prince Sooyang finished this first copy.
It just needs to go into printing.
What about the print blocks?
This is how I made them.
They came out great.
The blocks are really good.
Then...
Start the printing.
Yes.
Who are you punk?
What is that noise?
I'll go and find out.
Who are you punk?
What about my mom?
When will my mom be released?
She'll be out soon.
You must be so startled.
Suddenly all the Banchon people were arrested.
And Gaepayi suddenly went away.
Yeondoo,
why do you like Gaepayi so much?
He's like a father.
Gaepayi resembles your father?
I don't know my father's face.
I was told he passed away when I was a baby.
Is this pretty?
You can have it.
For real !
How did you and Gaepayi play?
We played connect-the-end-syllable and we played marbles too.
We played together everyday.
I see.
Where did you guys usually play?
We went to play by the stream a lot.
And we went to Baek-In Mountain a lot too.
Baek-In Mountain?
What?
Ahh.. Yes.
There's a crumbling temple there.
I've brought everything ordered upon me.
And I've got him nabbed.
Okay, well done.
What does Bonwon intend to do now?
Who knows?
Though it's hard to grasp fully the intention of Bonwon,
it seems possible that Bonwon might change his mind.
What do you mean change?
If the people learn the letters the King created,
they could practice Neo-Confucianistic order.
He seems wavered on that point.
Is that so?
Has our Yeondoo gone there often?
Every now and then.
You know that friend of Yeondoo, Gaepayi? Gaepayi?
From what ahjussi here can tell, he can't speak our language well. Where did he come from?
He's a Yeojin (Jurchen), isn't he?
No, Dolgwol (Gu00f6ktu00fcrks).
Ah, so he's a Dolgwol (Gu00f6ktu00fcrk)!
Hey, Yeondoo!
Someone's coming here right now.
Who?
Someone garbed in palace guard uniform with some girl child.
Palace Guard, then it is...
Kang Chae Yoon?!
I'll handle him.
No.
For now, it's best we just leave here.
And transfer the hostage quietly as well.
Yes.
From what this ahjussi can see,
Yeondoo's been aching in the legs since earlier.Ahjussi will carry you.
Here.
Get on.
Get on!
Hey, Yeondoo, I'm not a bad person at all.
See, it's written on my face, "I'm nice, really nice."
Hey, Yeondoo!
Here?
Your Majesty,
I'm much obliged,
but now isn't the time to be like this.
The translated Buddhist scripture has been sent to Prince Gwangpyeong.
And he probably has started on the printing operation.
The operation of completing the Haerye explaination volumn,
must be launched without a moment's delay.
I made them...
these letters I mean.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This...
could only be done by Your Majesty.
Without Your Majesty...
At first, I didn't know it either.
However,
at some moment I knew.
These letters,
more so than I envisioned, more so than I imagined,
they could be something tremendously great.
My affinity for them grew and grew.
And they became my priority over all else.
Because I created them.
However, that was the problem.
Your Majesty!
Why do you say so?
What are you in fear of?
However, your letters,
they are about to tear up the control system of that ambition.
You are opening the door of hell.
These letters I created.
They do not equal to something I, the creator, can be respsonsible for.
However, the King,
one who knows politics,
laying down the citizenry, laying down the history,
can he really experiment something he can't even be responsible for?
Can he do that?
What? What do you mean?
Jeong Gi Joon caught His Majesty's original intention.
Original intention?
What does that mean?
His decision to create letters.
It didn't start out from his love for the citizenry.
The King must act like a Junzi.
And a Junzi must love the citizenry. He acted according to that moralism again and again.
However the citizenry wouldn't accept him.
They wouldn't change.
They didn't even seem to like it.
For as much as he poured his heart out to them,
he was disappointed,
and he felt frustrated and angry.
Later on, he became afraid of those citizens.
And he developed the will to refuse yielding.
But Jeong Gi Joon unnerved that?
He must feel as though everything's collapsed.
The work began on a wrong motive.
And the process hasn't been all just either.
Morever he himself created them.
He must have lost his objectivity as well. However...
the result can't be vouched for either.
Should this work really continue?
Oh these Yangban nobles who wear their high hats and gentlemen's robes.
It's because they have no worries of food in their minds.
I feel uneasy.
So uneasy that I'm going crazy.
Why would you be uneasy?
Isn't he the King that you trust in more than yourself?
Don't you worry.
He will surely make a good decision.
It's this.
It seems he had just received it and was preparing to print it.
Then, did you collect all the print blocks and things?
Yes.
What is the matter?
Why, that scum...
What's in the book that you're...
Take a look at this.
Seok Bo Sang Jeon.
Isn't this?!
The life of Bulssi.
[ Bulssi = Shakyamuni Buddha ]
How could the first translation in the new letters
be the story of Bulssi ( Shakyamuni Buddha)?
What do you think this means?
Not the doctrine of Neo-Confucianism but Buddhist scripture?
I said, what do you think this means?
Because Lee Do sincerely believes in Buddha?
Nope, it isn't. Why do you think then?
Why else?
Jeong Gi Joon's words are right.
More than anything else,
I put these letters on top.
I did not want to think it was because of my affinity for something I created.
Saying it was for the citizenry.
I wanted to firmly believe in it.
Hence.
With my desire to have the people master them quickly,
not the difficult doctrine of the Neo-Confucianism,
but the easy and interesting,
the story of Buddha was what I had translated.
Lee Do is already no longer a Confucian scholar.
Lee Do has put the letters above Confucian ideal.
All he wants is to see these letters spread quickly.
Can you say that's not true, Lee Do?
Yes.
The citizenry of this land were the citizenry of Goryeo just a few decades ago.
And Goryeo was a nation that believed in Buddhism for 500 years.
Hence, what's more familar to the people isn't Neo-Confucianism,
it's the story of Buddha.
Right!
Let's propagate that.
Then the people will feel enjoyment more quickly.
And they will read more quickly and write quickly.
Lee Do, you punk lied to me!
The people will pull Neo-Confucianistic ideals forward with these letters?
Yes!
The likes of Neo-Confucianism were absent in my mind back then!
But you scum, Lee Do, raised the name of Teacher Sambong to your mouth
to commit fraud?!
Yes!!!
I came to that conclusion from Jeong Do Jeon!
I believed in it and I consoled myself
and I deceived myself!
He is a clever King.
He is a cunning King.
He is a King who cannot be forgiven!
Aren't you Garion?
Yes, Your Highness, the Prince.
This humble man is Garion.
Also, I'm Jeong Gi Joon.
You are...
Milbon's Bonwon Jeong Gi Joon?
Yes, Your Highness the Prince.
Loosen me.
This humble subject also finds it regrettable that I cannot do so.
However all this is because of the King.
What sophistry!
I shared a discussion with the King at Jungyunahm.
At the time, the King said the ideal of Neo-Confucianism,
so they could be taught to the citizenry,
he created the letters.
He spoke of such a lie.
It isn't a lie.
Yes.
I wanted to believe him and I was going to.
But the one you brought, Prince,
before I saw that translated story, that is.
It was the story of Buddha.
That is solely because...
Therefore...
as I have informed the King,
I am about to act out that resolution.
The seed of the plague-like letters,
I will find that Haerye volumn.
And I will make sure they don't spread.
Furthermore.
I will kill all who know the letters.
So that these letters don't turn the world into a hell.
So that Neo-Confucianism isn't thrown away.
I will wager my life to block them.
As a Confucian scholar of Joseon.
Even if I am to lay in the heinous seat in history,
I don't care.
The King,
just as he put everything in the world down for the letters.
I, for everything,
shall block these letters.
I will take that as my mandate from Heaven.
Hence.
Please forgive my misdoing.
Furthermore.
I also
upon completion of my mandate,
shall go to you, Prince Highness.
You punk...
your mandate,
will never complete it.
Perhaps you will be able to kill all who know Father's letters.
However!
That plague-like
seed of the letters,
the Haerye (explaination and example) volumn,
you won't be able to find it.
For certain,
I will find and rid of it.
You won't find it!
Since I myself
have never
seen it either!

Hey, I said come. I said come and look.
Come follow me, I said!
Look at that.
It's been there since my guard shift.
But it's still there just the same.
It's really there.
How long has it been standing there?
Well I don't know that, of course.
Since it was there before I started my shift,
so I guess it was there since before then.
Come follow.
Oh, so something was in here?
Isn't that a letter?
It is!
What? What is it that you're...
What's wrong?
Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.
One moment.
Your Majesty...
Please take a seat.
Your Majesty,
you need to pull yourself together.
Your Majesty,
please look at me.
Can't hear, I can't hear anything.
I can't hear anything.
What are you saying right now?
Your Majesty.
You, are you criticizing me right now, too?
You, too are criticizing me, right?
YOU ARE CRITICIZING ME!
Your Majesty.
These things!
Lee Do, does it torment you?
It surely will.
However,
this is the one and only way to get your mind distracted.
This was the only way.
You're too much of a opponent and unless you make a mistake...
there is a no way to stop you.
That's right!
Everything was wrong in the first place.
I started everything with the ulterior motive!
Yes, I never loved my people.
I actually loathed them.
Your Majesty!
Yes, really, I never loved my people.
I loved these letters that I made.
So,
I prioritized my letters on top of everything.
Kang Chae Yoon!
That's why Gwangpyeong died.
Serves you right, Lee Do!
What are you doing in front of His Majesty?
His Majesty?
Who is His Majesty?
The one who is bullshitting over there?
Is he the King, His Majesty? Isn't he the one who is belittling himself
and disgracing his dead son, the Prince?
Is that person truly a King?
Dahm, you heard too, right?
How proud Prince Gwangpyeong
was for being his son.
However,
whether it be you or Prince Gwangpyeong, you guys were deceived by the king.
Your beloved Majesty is a person who cannot even figure out whether his feelings are love or hate.
The person who does not even know what love is...
Our Majesty, the King.
What to do?
You wagered all your life without knowing what kind person he is.
Not to mention that Prince Gwangpyeong sacrificed his life.
Why?
Does it hurt there?
You, Your Majesty have no right.
Prince Gwangpyeong once said that because he believed in you so much,
that he could die happily without a slighest doubt.
Although you may not shed a drop of tear,
Prince Gwangpyeong, he...
he...
he said that it didn't bother him.
Your Majesty.
YOU have no right to shed even a drop of tear!

Thank You for watching!
