Episode 13.

Even knowing that if we meet again, you'll die...

You showed up courageously.

As expected, it was you.

Over here.

The secret plan...

is Seo Jin, that child.

What is this?

Just before the hunting...

the Majesty told me.

That the descendant of the mother's relation is...

Seo Jeong Do's daughter,

Seo Jin.

Is this true?

It is.

Although there is no way to tell what is in that bloodline,

it probably is something that will kill Gwi.

How can that weak girl kill Gwi?

She will have to sacrifice herself.

If I am right, the moment Gwi bites that child,

he will die.

So whatever method you have to use,

get that child and sacrifice her to Gwi.

Exactly what are you saying?

Did something happen to Scholar?

Jo...

You know, right?

Where did he go?

Jo... You know, the lord?

Last night he helped the Crown Prince fight Gwi at the palace.

I believe he passed away.

How can that be...

Seeing as he's not back even when the sun is up like this...

No, it won't be like that.

He told me to take good care of you, so-

Yang Sun.

♪ My heart is telling it ♪

♪ These two eyes are telling it ♪

♪ Only to you ♪

From now on the one who owns you...

is me.

Without my permission, you can not

hurt or cry.

♪ The words I only tell you ♪

Since you are now mine, you must treasure your life

and you must not harm it in any way.

Do you understand?

Scholar, you, too. Without my permission,

without my permission, you can't hurt or cry either.

♪ I want to be this rain and fall next to you ♪

♪ As much as my unstopping heart ♪

I'm going out to find Scholar.

Where are you saying you will go? Did you not hear my words?

I won't believe any of it until I have verified it with my own eyes.

♪ Love again ♪

Your Majesty!

Enter.

The sun has risen.

It seems that Gwi returned to his below ground palace.

What happened to the Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister's people are nowhere to be seen either.

Is that so? When night comes,

he will show up with Gwi proudly anyway.

Today, will be the last day I spend with you.

I have the secret plan, Grandfather.

I know where Seo Jin is.

You know?

Then can you bring her here?

Since she is your precious friend,

I am asking you if you are able to let Gwi eat that child.

My true feelings,

if that is the only way...

if that is the only way to save you and this country,

then we have to do it, right?

That is our last chance left for us.

You must get that child in your hands.

I will definitely

find her before the sun sets.

Tell the Prime Minister to come in.

- I guess I am a little late. - Lord!

It is a relief.

It's a great relief, Lord.

Where is Yang Sun?

Did you tell her about me?

I didn't go as far as to say that you are not a human,

but I told her that you went to the palace, and that I thought you had passed away.

But still...

But still, she said she could not believe me, and went to find you.

She left.

If so, are you saying she went to the palace?

She wouldn't...

How can she get into the palace?

I need to bring her back quickly.

Take care of that man. However, when he wakes up, keep

him in the secret room and don't let him come out.

When Yang Sun returns, we cannot let her cross paths with him.

- Do you understand? - I do, Lord.

But...

I haven't seen Soo Hyang in a while.

I need to tell her that you are alright...

- Now, now. - Look over here!

Hyung-Nim!

Please let me through just once.

No one is allowed in the palace for awhile.

Go away.

The Crown Prince... Please let me speak with the Crown Prince, okay?

Oh, what is this? Won't you behave properly?

It has been a while.

Hyungnim...

The money is all paid off, so how come...

Money?

Ah! The loan?

We gave up that business.

Right, Hyungnim?

When we went to collect money from the bookseller's families...

Hyungnim!

Where did you get all this money that you could

pay your debt off in full including interest?

The Lustful Student helped us.

He was dragged to the palace and died unfairly.

The silver and the farmland.

We heard that he was dragged into the palace and got killed wrongfully.

That rotten people...

Ah, but who is the Lustful Student?

Do you remember Jo Saeng Hyungnim?

He was Crown Prince Sadong's book supplier.

Yang Sun was also sold off as a slave somewhere.

To think that you were the Lustful Student's child...

It was unfortunate it turned out like this for your father.

Ah, but why were you just sitting there outside the palace like that?

You two! Please help me a bit.

What happened to the royal military?

The hunters have been annihilated.

Whether Kim Sung Yeol is still alive or dead, it is unknown.

What about the teacher?

There are a lot of corpses that are badly damaged, so we haven't found him yet.

My teacher probably couldn't escape death either.

Instead of that, right now we are in quite a rush.

Did you get an order from the King?

We have to find Jin before the sun sets.

That might become the last chance to fight against Gwi.

We don't have much time. Hurry, let's go!

Yes!

Please save me! Please save me!

Are you just now waking up?

Lord...

This is... It is the King's quarters.

The true king who takes care of this nation.

You saw me and Kim Sung Yeol fighting yesterday, right?

Yes, I did.

What did we look like?

Did we seem like humans?

That...

Both me and Kim Sung Yeol are beings who live off of humans blood, vampires.

Kim Sung Yeol is also quiet pitiful. Why does he stand

on the human's side to go through all that suffering?

A beautiful woman like you is mere food to me.

However...

You seem to have elegance.

No matter how good the food is, when you are

full, you can't appreciate the true taste.

If so...

Don't you think saving it for now and savoring it slowly would be better?

That's right.

Elder, to this child, when did you...

Why did you come alone?

I apologize.

Kim Sung Yeol showed up suddenly and interfered,

so we could not get the King's people.

Incompetent...

So how is the King doing?

Is he trembling in fear?

He should be looking for a way to live since he is still alive.

But when the night kicks in, there will be bloodlust in the palace.

What are you thinking we should do with my daughter, Hye Ryeong.

What would you like me to do?

That would be up to your decision, Elder.

I will decide after looking at what she does.

Do you know where your father is?

I apologize, but I don't know anything about his whereabouts.

If so, then what do you think we should do?

Although he is the father that gave birth to me,

trying to harm this nation's King and Crown Prince is undeniable treason.

I feel it's right to capture him immediately and punish him for his crimes.

Of course, as the Crown Princess, you would need to answer like that.

I don't know about the Crown Prince, but I do not trust you.

I apologize.

You will rise to the position of Queen when tomorrow comes.

I have no way of knowing what is in your

heart, but think about the reasons carefully.

I hope you will support the Crown Prince well.

- Your Majesty... - You can leave now.

Your Majesty...

The Crown Prince has set out to find the secret plan to kill Gwi.

He hasn't found the girl until now, do you think he will find her in a day?

Let's wait and see.

Even if he finds her, the Crown Prince now

does not have the heart to offer his childhood friend up to Gwi.

The Crown Prince will face a treacherous time ahead.

If he can withstand that storm and survive, then

he will realize what the King's position is; what he should sacrifice for.

Tonight, Gwi will punish you by

trying to harm you and the Crown Prince. What shall we do?

I will tell Gwi that the Crown Prince does not know anything.

I need your help, Chief Left Minister.

I understand your thoughts very well.

I... will accept your command.

I'm sorry, Chief Left Minister.

I trust you will take care of it well.

Ah, I just came out for a little bit so I have to go back in quickly.

Hyungnim, what relationship are you two in?

What are you going to do if you know?

Hey, Yang Sun! Won't you hurry and come out!

You're pretty.

You punk.

No matter how desperate you are, how can your face get red after seeing a man?

I won't get caught like this, right?

You were alive?

Have you been safe, Your Highness?

Seo Jin, where is that child right now?

The fate of the nation is on the line now, so why would you be looking for her?

Do you know what role the mother's relation plays in the secret plan?

I'm not sure.

I just found out that Seo Jeong Do's daughter Seo Jin

is the only descendant written on the memorandum.

But the mother's descendant is just a human. When

fighting against Gwi, she won't be any help.

But... It's just as we predicted.

She will have to offer herself up to Gwi.

So the reason you're looking for Yang Sun right now is for Gwi?

I have no choice.

Giving up a normal citizen's life to Gwi, do you really view that as right?

Crown Prince Junghyun, which I served, would never

leave something like that in his memorandum!

I too! If I could only get rid of Gwi with my life...

I would.

Why does it have to be her, and why I am in the position to have to offer her?

I blame the heavens...

Hurry hand her over.

I don't know where she is.

I understand your heart cherishing her, but there is no time to waste.

But if I don't take her to Gwi by sundown,

we will lose His Majesty.

Hurry!

Kim Sung Yeol, didn't you say you would fight

together as a subject of this country?

Choose.

Will you choose your feelings for her or be a soldier for this country?

I really don't know where she is.

When I returned she was nowhere to be seen, so I came out looking for her now.

It is past 1 pm already.

If you find her, I trust you will bring her to the palace.

I beg you.

Isn't this place where you ran into Kim Sung Yeol and the Teacher Baek?

By any chance, do you think that Kim Sung Yeol lied?

If I were him, it would have been hard for me to tell the truth.

Your Highness! I think it's that way.

Let's go! Ha!

Ah, aren't you the Crown Prince?

Why are you doing this?

Stand back.

Oh!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

W-Wait...

Your Highness, there are only books here.

Can you really offer up Seo Jin to Gwi?

She is also your childhood friend.

Are you hiding Jo Yang Sun in here?

Oh! If you're talking about her, then she went somewhere since this morning.

Where to?

I'm not sure.

Our Master went to look for her but hasn't returned.

It seems like no one is here.

I think Kim Sung Yeol's words are true.

I see.

There is no time to lose. We have to thoroughly search the capital.

Yes, Your Highness.

Aigoo.

Oh! Look at his sweat.

Aigoo, why are you sweating so much.

Save me!

I am the one who is servicing you!

Where is this?

It's Lord Kim Sung Yeol's quarters.

He saved you since you were about to die.

Is Seo Jin here?

That... My lord went to go find her.

Is that so?

That's a relief.

Ah... why is everyone looking for Seo Jin?

Just a while ago, even the Crown Prince-

The Crown Prince-

You can't move right now. Stay here for a while.

His Highness... For what business?

Oh, he messed up this entire house and left saying he was looking for Seo Jin.

But what did they mean by offering Seo Jin to Gwi...?

What?

Yang Sun.

Where are you looking at?

It's nothing.

Now we're done.

Where do I have to go if I want to meet the Crown Prince?

His Highness stays at the east palace over there.

If you get caught, I don't know what happened.

Thank you.

Wait.

Stand there.

I haven't seen you before. Why are you roaming around?

Hurry and answer me!

What is the issue?

Crown Princess, she's a face I haven't seen before but she was wandering here.

I called her, so go along.

Follow me.

Why are you here?

I came to meet the Crown Prince.

How dare you bring up the Crown Prince?

Do you think he's a person that you can just meet if you want to?

It's not that.

I heard that the Scholar you saw before died

while fighting the vampire in the palace.

So you sneaked into the palace?

Do you know what will happen if you are discovered?

Still, I needed to know if something happened to the Scholar,

if he is safe now.

Who are you worrying about when you can't even protect your own life?

He's the person I love.

Love?

I don't know if the person I love is dead or alive,

so entering the palace is nothing, I could even go into hell.

Does he also think that way?

To me, it seems he still can't forget his past lover.

Didn't you also personally see him running to me

excitedly after seeing that I look like his past lover?

If that's the lover that passed away long ago, then I also know about it. He told me.

Do you know his identity?

What... are you talking about?

He is a vampire.

I guess you didn't know.

What do you know about the Scholar that you are saying things like that?

I personally saw him yesterday when he came to the celebration to fight Gwi.

Do you think I, the Crown Princess of this country, would tell a lie?

- But- - You don't know anything about him, but love?

Do you know when his lover died?

I am asking if you know how long he has been hurting for missing his dead lover?

No matter how long it was-

50 years, no... it might even be over 100 years.

Since you ignored the laws of the palace and

sneaked in, you should be punished for your crime.

But since I find your situation so pitiful, I will let you go just this once.

I will find out about Kim Sung Yeol's condition

so stay here quietly as if you're dead.

Watch her so that she can't even take one step out from here.

Yes, Crown Princess.

I will go visit the below ground palace for awhile.

That place...

I barely came to the Crown Princess position, I can't lose it now.

Is there anyone here who has seen the bookseller Jo Yang Sun?

If there is someone who reports Jo Yang Sun's whereabouts before the sun goes down,

I will give them a big reward.

However, if there is someone who knows where

she is yet hides it, they will be punished.

Search carefully!

Yes!

Stop everything you're doing!

Ah, what?

Do you know a bookseller named Jo Yang Sun?

- I said I have to go by today! - What is this?

- Search! - Ah, Sir.

What are those rotten things doing?

- Search carefully! - Yes!

Search.

Single-minded devotion.

He still can't forget his dead lover who died many years ago.

There's a rumor that he won't even look at other women.

Myeong Hee!

Myeong Hee!

Didn't you say you have a lover?

I had one.

But...

she left this world due to my faults.

You must have been lonely.

I thought I would be until the moment I die.

But the human heart

changes as time passes.

I now know that.

I won't do that.

My heart will never change.

Scholar.

Did you see? Truthfully, I'm

not a human. I'm-

You were alive.

You... you now know who I am.

You're the Night Scholar.

But aren't you afraid of me?

What I am afraid of is not that.

You spent that long time

only loving one person.

Compared to her, I may just be a passing wind.

When I felt that I had no reason to live anymore, you saved my life.

You are also the one who found me a reason to live.

While I'm alive, I will stay next to you.

Just... when I die,

after that... just like you remembered your past lover.

If you will remember me just as much you remembered her,

I have nothing more to ask for.

Why did you come to such a dirty place,

Crown Princess?

There are many eyes watching so I couldn't come sooner.

I enjoyed your banquet very much yesterday.

Those clothes suit you very well.

You must not let me know to keep it as a surprise for me.

I really didn't know.

If I had known and done that, would I still have come to this place on my own?

A daughter of a ruined and poor household, I even made you the Crown Princess.

You dare to treat me like that when I went to congratulate your marriage?

I also didn't know anything and was

threatened by the soldiers led by my father.

I should have seen your face then.

Unlike those foolish people, I know your power very well.

What are those foolish people doing outside now?

I am the daughter of the man who held a sword against the King in the palace.

They will not tell me anything.

Instead, I caught the Lustful Student's daughter.

Is that true?

I'm holding her captive in my quarters.

Well done.

Tonight won't be boring in any way.

Let's go.

Grandfather!

Listen, my Crown Prince Yoon.

As the King of this nation,

giving you, the next King, my last order.

The Royal family line of this nation is from me to Crown Prince Sadong.

And it was passed down to you. The reason for us to rule this country is

not because of the bloodline only.

If you are trying to rule over the people for that reason only,

how will we be any different than Gwi who is

trying to rule over people by sucking their blood?

We are responsible for the peoples' safety and the future of this country.

Please remember the weight of the blood.

When His Majesty passes away, I will take all the responsibility of the incident.

And I will follow him.

When the Crown Prince gets coronated, you must

support His Highness well.

I blamed you a lot not knowing anything.

Had I known His Majesty's and your will a bit earlier,

I would have taken better lessons from you how to support His Highness.

No.

I have no other regret but...

to you and to your father,

for not having treating you kindly once...

is weighing heavily on my heart.

Have you forgotten?

That I was really a rebellious grandson to you.

I intend not to listen to you this time as well.

What are you saying?

I was standing on the Lustful Student's side,

so they are suspicious of me anyway.

What I mean is that there is no way to convince the Prime.

Minister and Gwi that I am not involved in this incident.

Hak Young!

To a young and powerless king, he needs his subject to be knowledgeable in government.

Please watch over His Highness.

No... That can not happen!

Crown Prince Junghyun's friend, Kim Sung Yeol, a Professor of Hongmoonkwan,

he became a vampire and has been fighting a difficult fight for over 120-years now.

Giving up my mere life is not a very difficult thing.

Your grandson will go to the other side first and wait for you.

I won't be able to wash off my sin even with my death.

Who is there?

Aigoo, Lord!

You are not harmed.

Did Baek In Ho wake up yet?

He seems to have gotten a little better and is alert now.

But more importantly, the Crown Prince visited Eum Seok Gol.

Even to Eum Seok Gol.

Just for a minute...

But what he said,

is that she, no, Seo Jin needs to be offered to Gwi. What is this?

This won't work out.

Eum Seok Gol seems to have gotten a bit dangerous,

send Yang Sun to Hwayang-Gak.

Since that place is not completely safe

either, so be hidden and not show yourselves.

Don't worry about it. I know Hwayang-Gak like the back of my hand.

But where are you going, again?

I think there will be big trouble in the palace tonight.

Soo Yang is probably still there.

Soo Yang is there?

I never anticipated for a night like I do tonight.

You seem to have some business to take care of...

so may I leave now?

I will be back in a bit. Just stay here and wait.

Son, I am sorry.

Don't be, Father.

Thank you for watching over our Yoon.

King!

I was about to come find you, but here you are.

I enjoyed the banquet well.

You prepared some fun for the occasion.

You bastard! You are insolent!

I lived all this time waiting for the day to kill you.

My only regret is not making the new palace your grave.

This old man must be senile.

Do you want to die?

You are a monster living below ground because you are afraid of the sunlight.

Do you think this country is yours already?

What?

Humans are not as weak as you think they are.

Come on and kill me and become the King.

Tens of thousands of citizens will rise up.

Humans are not as weak as you think.

You will die from human willpower.

So,

then prove to me that you are not weak.

If you are hungry, then eat that!

P-Please spare my life.

At least your grandfather tried to take me out until the end.

But...

how are you so pathetic?

Are you begging for your life?

I don't want to die like my grandfather and father.

I didn't know about any of this.

Is that so?

Then who helped the King?

You didn't know that either, right?

T-That is-Bring him in!

This person's grandfather, the Chief Left Minister turned him in himself.

Under the King's order,

he gathered the hunters secretly and he orchestrated the hunt as he confessed.

And you still want to live.

Are you not ashamed under the heavens?

What should I do with this bastard who turned

the Crown Prince's wedding into a funeral?

It would be right to kill him, right?

That's right, kill me. Even in heaven, I will curse you.

Ah, it...

Take him away. I will call for you later.

The corpse... I will burn it as usual.

No.

I got a fun thought.

Where did that child go?

Kim Sung Yeol took her himself.

Kim Sung Yeol, that guy is...

Kim Sung Yeol.

Your Highness, how come you're...

Kim Sung Yeol took her himself...

Who?

Who are you talking about?

The bookseller Yang Sun came to find you,

so I kept her here. But...

Kim Sung Yeol!

You lied to me the last time, didn't you?

Me?

I am talking about Kim Sung Yeol being the Night Scholar.

I know everything.

And you are fine with that?

Telling you I wasn't surprised would be a lie.

But even so, that can't be the reason why I can't love Scholar.

But rather, because he is the Night Scholar,

I couldn't do anything but like it.

But you know, about being a vampire,

it might just be a little bit...

Just a little bit different from the Night Scholar.

That's fine by me. Even so, my heart won't change.

What's with the coffin in Gibang?

I got an order to deliver this to Kim Sung Yeol.

Let's go.

Am I drunk...?

Exactly what is this?

Are you not afraid of me?

I am afraid,

but I am also curious.

Among the living and breathing under the sky,

aren't you the most strong being?

- Is that how you think? - On top of it, I heard you live forever.

Not only the realm of humans,

but escape from the realm of time... Wait,

you want to become a vampire?

Do you know what happens when someone becomes a vampire?

When you are first bitten and awakened, you have no will.

If there is one,

it is a burning thirst.

If you are hungry, you'll crave blood.

So once you've tasted blood,

you can't forget it.

Please save me!

Dad...

Dad, it hurts!

D-Don't... Don't kill him!

♪ That time my longing had grown ♪

♪ It will hurt like you are dying ♪

♪ My love ♪

You and I are someone who can't be together. Don't try anymore.

Then why are you trying so hard?

Take that black robe from him.

We have to make Gwi and Kim Sung Yeol meet Yang Sun.

Don't forgive me.

Just kill me!

You will regret it for the rest of your life!

Something bigger than that is inside my heart.

That's harder to endure.

Leave my side, and go far away.
