You trifling spirit.

(Episode 7: A Deadly Spell)

The water spirit...

will cast a deadly spell on that cheeky girl too.

Then it will be the end for her.

But what if the water spirit runs away?

The spirit must bring us the royal offspring...

even if it means casting a deadly spell.

I vowed to bring his grudge to rest only if he fulfilled the task.

So he will bring us what we need.

I am fine.

I threw everything up.

I mean it. I am all right. I am not harmed.

What matters now is that we lost him.

What should we do?

We need to catch him to find the Eight-feet Spirit.

Had we forced ourselves to catch him,

we both would have paid a grave price for it.

The water spirit reeked of putrid water.

He forced you to drink the water.

Putrid water?

I am sure he was a water spirit...

living in putrid water from long stagnation.

Serpents who dwell in clean fresh water...

would abhor such foul spirits.

Oh, my shoe.

It must have slipped out in the water.

What are you doing?

We have a long way to reach home.

How will you walk without a shoe?

Even so, you cannot possibly carry me. Forget it.

Is it not obvious to you?

He cast a deadly spell on you.

Such a matter cannot be taken lightly.

You can put me down now.

Besides, Young Master Yoon's ankles are not well.

I do not wish to burden his ankles.

Just stay put.

Clearly, this body is in poor condition.

But he has enough energy to carry a small girl.

Get some sleep until we arrive.

You must be exhausted.

I must be losing my mind. Indeed.

- What did you say? - Stop.

- Hey, you are going to fall. - I want to come down. Put me down!

What was that? What if you hurt yourself?

- Because you keep doing this, I... - What?

You know, do you not?

You have been following me for the past 13 years like a leech.

So no one knows better than you...

how much I liked and missed...

the young master.

- But what? - I yearned for him for 13 years.

And he is standing right before me.

My body is brushing against his, and we are in close proximity.

It is only natural that my heart responds to that.

After all, I am human and a woman too.

Did you just...

speak so boldly of affection for me...

before my very eyes?

Without feeling shy at all?

Why would I be shy? You are not Young Master Yoon Gap.

That is right.

I am not that pathetic man, Yoon Gap.

Then why does my heart also flutter unbidden?

You were right.

Five desires and seven emotions...

indeed arise from our human body.

When my eyes lay on you and our hands meet,

knowing that you are not him, I cannot help but...

What am I saying right now?

Right.

Just like you wanted before,

I want the same thing now.

Let us not be within ten steps of each other.

Let there be a graceful distance between us. Understood?

(Fire)

So tell me. Five days ago,

did you order the bedding of the Queen's chambers...

to be changed?

Yes. I did.

We have been doing so once every ten days.

To whom did you give that order?

Deok Chun. Who was on duty that day?

Yeom, Aeng Du, and I were on duty.

Those who received this task, stand up.

Now.

I am innocent, Your Majesty.

I am innocent.

I swear on my life. I did no such thing.

The deed was not committed by us.

I am not conducting the interrogation...

to take the life of a mere court maid.

Confess the truth and tell us who ordered such a thing,

and I will spare you.

So tell the truth now!

Here it is.

I cannot do it.

How could I put this in...

Is it my death that you want?

You will have to do even if you do not think you can.

If you do not,

the fact that you have been...

giving information about the Queen to the Dowager Queen...

will end your life. Understood?

Shush.

I am not criticizing you.

As for people of lowly origins like us,

we must bend our backs and dirty our hands...

so that we do not starve. Got it?

Heavy, isn't it?

Complete the deed well, and I will give you that much again.

Do not cry. All right?

No. I cannot confess.

The moment I confess, they will kill me first.

It seems their lips will remain sealed for a while.

Lock up all three of them.

And do not give a drink of water until they confess.

The interrogation will continue tomorrow.

Lock all of them up.

Yes, my lord.

Drag all of them out.

Gap. Are you asleep?

My gosh, he must be asleep.

Goodness gracious!

How dare you pretend to be asleep?

How did you know?

Must you truly ask?

A mother knows if her child is truly asleep or just pretending.

- Get up now. - Oh, no.

- All right. - Darn.

Do not sound so upset.

I got a whole new batch without the snake's tail.

You said you would not drink it because of that.

Did Yeo Ri tell you that?

Besides, once you drink this up,

I will give you this. Here.

Ta-da. I will give you this pumpkin taffy.

Yeo Ri said you would drink it if I showed you the taffy.

All right.

What happened to your binyeo?

Where did your brass binyeo go?

Oh, that? I sold it.

Did you sell the binyeo for this stupid herbal tonic?

Gosh, it was nothing.

It was too heavy. That is why I sold it.

I can buy it back later.

Here. Drink it before it gets cold.

My gosh.

What will you do if I cannot go back...

to how I was before even after drinking this expensive tonic?

What could I do?

You are still my child.

Even if your mind goes astray and you are not yourself,

you will remain my child. I will take care of you.

If you do not want to drink it, then forget it.

You are talking nonsense just to avoid drinking this tonic.

How wonderful.

Oh, yes. You finished it.

Oh, my.

What is it? Yes. Oh, right.

Here you go. Have the taffy.

There.

Is the taffy tasty? My gosh.

My goodness.

Yes. If it was indeed a deadly spell,

she would already have been in trouble.

She will be all right.

Get some sleep until we arrive.

You must be exhausted.

Young Master. I must have missed you very much.

Please give me a bit more time.

I will save you no matter what.

(I will come to collect you in the Hour of the Mouse.)

(The moment you see this note, swallow it to get rid of it.)

The court maid took her own life?

Yes. It appears she swallowed poison.

How could an imprisoned criminal get her hands on poison?

I apologize, Your Majesty.

As I was in charge of the interrogation,

I bear the full weight of the failure.

We found them in the living quarters...

of Aeng Du, the dead court maid of the Queen's Palace.

Someone must have given them to her.

I will have them investigate further.

Premier, it is you alone...

whom I can trust fully in the Palace.

Investigate anyone who had a close relationship with her.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will carry out your command.

How nice.

The Palace is thick...

with the stench of malice.

How come I did not think of the capital before?

No. Why did I fail to think of coming into the Palace?

That is because you said the provinces in the south...

were more to your liking.

I have made up my mind.

- About what? - I shall fulfil...

the count of 100 devoured spirits here within this month.

Good for you.

You will ascend to the skies soon.

No.

I will fulfil only up to 99.

Then I ought to play with my poor brother for a while...

before I go.

What a nuisance you are.

Go away.

So what are you going to do?

What fun will I have to ascend to the skies without you?

How do you plan...

to win over that girl, Yeo Ri?

What do you think?

I must pretend to be interested in catching...

the Eight-feet Spirit like she wants for now.

Are you sure you are up for it?

I heard the trifling spirits gossiping a few times.

It sounded like...

the Eight-feet Spirit could cause trouble.

What have you heard?

Shall I look into it?

You sound oddly invested.

You said you were only pretending.

You almost fooled me too.

Look over there.

My entire banquet is walking away.

See you later.

So a malevolent object was found in the Queen's Palace?

Were you behind this?

Your Highness.

You were the one who gave this order for this deed.

How dare you?

When did I order you to commit such an evil deed?

Remember the tragic death Prince Young In suffered?

But His Majesty blessed the Queen with another child.

After discovering this news,

rightfully, you wanted to end...

the life of His Majesty's second child.

Did I misunderstand your intention?

Yes, you did.

That was not my intention.

Even the noble king, His Majesty,

was driven to take his brother's life so brutally...

because deep down,

he has been tainted by the seed of malice as well.

Please steady your heart.

For the sake of the unfortunate Prince Young In...

whose spirit must be loitering around this realm,

unable to cross the Samdo Stream,

you must seek retribution for his death.

Your Majesty.

We found this while cleaning the library.

What is it?

(Yoon Gap)

I am not your subject.

I am...

Kang Chul.

Royal Scribe Yoon Gap...

fulfilled his duty with unwavering loyalty...

and was always guided by righteousness.

Even when the burdens of state clouded my judgment,

the royal scribe offered me words of loyalty...

that brought me to my senses.

It is only appropriate to hold a ceremony to mourn for his death.

But as his spirit cannot be found in his body,

the peace of rest evades him.

As sorrow weighs heavily on my heart,

with this humble offering,

I shall attempt to console his spirit.

(Yoon Gap)

Your Highness.

Pung San was right.

He said the individual that came into the Palace...

fifteen days ago was a shaman.

During that time, no new court maids or eunuchs...

were appointed in the Palace.

But a new glasses-maker was appointed to Sanguiwon.

A glasses-maker?

She is a young girl.

She has recently been spotted going in and out of the Queen's Palace...

and the Royal Library quite frequently.

What?

I am begging you.

Could you look into that water spirit?

Gosh, no way!

I cannot possibly deal with the water spirit...

that spews foul water.

Not all water spirits are the same.

I am a pure water spirit...

that dwells in clean, drinking water.

You said you would do anything I asked.

You said you did not need my help.

Why are you bothering me now?

Bother you? Unbelievable.

Hey, come out here.

You!

I am right back where I started.

Where should I start?

It would be nice if I could catch the man who put up the talisman.

Who is this wench that keeps on stealing my shoes?

You better come clean.

The soles of your shoes are all worn out.

Who would want to take them?

I bet you probably lost them...

and are accusing us of stealing to avoid getting scolded.

No.

My shoes vanished overnight.

Who...

Come on.

Nothing has been going my way since I lost my shoes.

You brat.

Are you all right?

You should have been more careful. Oh, dear.

Come to think of it, my friends' shoes...

kept going missing when I was your age.

My teacher told me...

it was a spirit's doing.

A spirit's doing?

Yes. That spirit might help me find the man...

who put up the talisman.

Bi Bi?

The serpent that drove the capital into chaos...

was here.

- Well done, everyone. - Good work.

How lovely.

Shall I begin?

Which one of them should I start with?

That is the question.

Yes.

Oh, my.

His belly is so steep in malice...

that it is seeping out.

Let me begin with him today.

My gosh.

He is His Majesty's maternal grandfather.

My lord.

Have you been at peace and in good health?

Oh, yes.

You are His Majesty's glasses-maker, are you not?

Have you been well?

What do you think you are doing? Step aside.

Yes, I have been well.

Step aside now. Understood?

His Majesty is very satisfied with the shaded glasses...

you made for him.

Could you make one pair for me too?

I fear that my eyesight is growing dim.

Of course. I will pay you a visit soon.

Yes, I will see you soon.

You!

You little...

Do you think I will be lenient with you because Kang Chul is?

How dare you...

ruin my meal?

I saw many tasty dishes for your banquet...

over there.

You are taking her side?

How could you take her side after seeing what she did to me?

So...

are you threatening to go after my disciple in my presence?

Darn it. So where is my banquet?

Over there?

Come on.

You just wait. One day, I shall...

You little...

Unbelievable.

One female shaman.

Two serpents.

Assistant Minister of Personnel Kang Seung Ju...

passed away last night?

Yes. He passed away while in sleep.

He seemed perfectly healthy when I saw him a few days ago.

Why all of a sudden?

From what I have heard,

such misfortune is quite common...

in the southern provinces.

People say there is a serpent who only targets...

noblemen over their 60s.

Noblemen over their 60s?

- How dare you? - Right.

So did you turn 60 this year?

What do you want?

We are here to see Lord Choi Won Woo.

Open the gate now.

Lord Choi is down with an illness.

No one is allowed inside.

How dare you deny his entrance?

Open the gate this instant...

Unless you want to be punished later,

escort us inside when I am asking nicely.

I said no!

You fool. Are you this dense?

Do you want to be punished?

I said no one could enter.

- How dare you? - If I let you in,

Lord Choi will be punishing me for it.

You insolent fool! How dare you?

Are you unable to take a hint?

What is the matter?

These men...

insist on coming in without an invitation.

My father will not receive...

any guests at all.

Our manservant...

is only obeying his master's command.

Please leave.

Give your father a message.

Tell him his long-time student...

Lee Jeong is here.

I am sure he will agree to see me.

My father taught many students in his time.

We sent away all the others who asked to see him, so...

Wait.

Lee Jeong.

I heard that name somewhere...

My lady. Who is he that Lord Choi agreed to see him?

Mak Geum.

Did I carry myself calmly and elegantly...

as a young woman of my social standing should?

Well... Yes.

You were your usual self.

Who was that man?

It was His Majesty.

Our King.

That will do.

I do not expect an ill man to bow deeply to me.

Your Majesty.

Do forgive your disloyal subject.

Do you still consider me...

your monarch?

Your Majesty.

When you resigned from office five years ago,

I tried to understand why.

The government was divided over the land reform,

and I accepted you were exhausted.

But have you not rested long enough?

Your Majesty.

I am now old...

and have no energy or power.

Royal Scribe Yoon...

will have told you how things stand.

I need you, Lord Choi.

Reforming the slave bill is nothing like the land reform.

It will bring upon...

a gruesome fight where one will bite another.

It is a great shame...

that it has already begun.

That gruesome fight.

I will no longer hesitate or step back.

That is why...

I came to see you tonight.

Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty. - Are you all right?

I am fine. Lord Choi. Were you hurt?

No.

I am fine.

- I apologize. - No.

That was a very close call.

That cursed cat.

I am fine. I bid you farewell.

This is so uncomfortable. I should save...

Young Master Yoon as soon as possible.

So...

About Bi Bi.

Can we let him loose like this?

Should we not stop him?

Just like me, he is a deity.

No human should get involved in a deity's affairs.

Even so,

letting him go on to eat people is a bit...

Bi Bi only eats...

evil nobles who live off of greed and lust.

Consuming humans like that...

is a good thing for society and the world.

That good karma is how he gets to ascend.

But still,

he tried to eat the King's maternal grandfather earlier.

He is a good, warmhearted man.

How would you know what a man is truly like?

You go ahead.

You are not going home?

I must finish something first.

What are you doing out in the cold?

- You must go to sleep. - Yes, my lady.

It will be the works of a Luminous Spirit...

that steals the shoes of children.

Hang a fine sieve on the door outside...

and hide your shoes in your room.

They are gone.

The shoes are not here.

I rubbed my eyes, and I still cannot see them.

This is too big.

I cannot go back to Mother without any shoes.

This has lots of holes.

I am good at counting. I am.

One,

two,

three.

See? I can count. I will start again.

One,

two,

three.

Darn you. Mother told me I was good at counting.

Three.

Four.

Darn you. I know what is next. Four.

Four. And then...

- Five. - I said I knew that!

Release me! Let me go!

You old hag.

Let me down immediately!

Wait and see. I will haunt all your descendants...

and steal their shoes and good fortune.

Oh, I am so afraid.

I am so scared I will have a son like you...

when I am married.

Shut your mouth! What son?

I am much older than your grandmother.

Oh, are you? Let us say you are.

This hurts. It is really painful.

I swear. It hurts so much.

You think that hurts?

From what I heard, you stole hundreds of shoes...

and court maids lost their luck...

for the whole year, and they suffered a great deal.

You say this hurts?

I am saying it hurts because it does.

- It hurts. - Silence!

You mostly stole shoes that belonged...

to the Queen's maids.

Were you at...

Prince Young In's chambers on the night of the Red Rooster?

What do you want to know?

Tell me who put up...

the talisman under his room.

If you tell me, I will cut you down...

and buy you new shoes.

I do not know his name.

It was a eunuch with scary-looking eyes.

His fingertips were black.

His fingertips were black?

How interesting. Very interesting.

One female shaman and two serpents.

And they threatened the General of Heaven and Earth?

A water spirit cast their deadly spell on you.

You will soon die.

Ash from a fire would make one's fingertips black.

You are right.

Where are you going?

Stay here.

The frame has gotten stiff.

His Majesty wants you to take a look.

Yes, I will do that.

And also...

About him. Is it true that inside him...

is a serpent that failed to ascend...

and become a dragon that is called Kang Chul?

Is he a deity and not a human?

Yes. Shamans call him...

a mischievous evil deity,

but he is still a deity.

He mainly watches over the weather.

Yeo Ri. Do you think...

he holds a grudge?

Would he punish a human who did not...

treat him with respect or...

What do you mean by that?

Well, you see...

No.

I did not say anything.

Do as I asked.

Oh, hello.

What is the court lady of the Dowager Queen doing here?

Her Highness...

told me to bring Sanguiwon's glasses-maker Yeo Ri.

This girl?

Why does the Dowager Queen need to see a glasses-maker?

His Majesty the King is present.

- What happened? - Your Majesty.

She shudders with a high fever.

I suspect malaria,

but she has blisters down to her abdomen,

so I cannot make a clear diagnosis.

Then...

what on earth is she suffering from?

Your Majesty.

I have never seen such symptoms before.

I only beg for your grace and understanding.

- The physicians can leave. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Court Lady Oh.

Do you know what could be the cause of this?

I do not know if there is a connection,

but after she fell ill,

she said she saw the ghost from her nightmares again.

Summon Yeo Ri immediately.

Go, now!

Do you see this letter also?

It is "ryo" that means "bright."

Your Highness. If I may dare say so,

you can see letters that are close up...

as well as far away.

You do not need glasses.

If that is so,

why am I unable to complete this piece of embroidery?

That is because...

This is strange. My body feels so heavy.

Do I have a cold?

How did you become His Majesty's glasses-maker?

I hail from...

Yongdam Village in Ducheong County where I made glasses.

Royal Scribe Yoon Gap recommended me to His Majesty.

Yongdam Village?

How interesting.

Make a pair of glasses that will let me complete this.

She is just an ordinary girl.

She is the one who got my son killed?

Pung San.

Can I believe what you said?

She does not want a pair of glasses.

What does she want?

Why is she not here yet?

Get her something to vomit into.

Why is Yeo Ri not here yet?

The Dowager Queen is keeping her occupied.

I sent word that you need her urgently.

She will come soon.

You said that two hours ago!

Oh, Your Majesty...

This will not do.

I will get her myself.

Your Majesty!

Why you...

Your Highness. I lack the necessary skills.

Please summon a more skilled craftsman.

There will be none more skilled than you.

I know the King well.

He is gruff, difficult,

but also a perfectionist.

That man keeps you close, values your counsel,

and often calls you to the Royal Library.

Does she know what I am?

His Majesty the King is present!

You heard me. His Majesty the King is present!

Welcome, Your Majesty.

You cannot be here...

to greet me when you must be busy with work.

What brings you here?

I borrowed your glasses-maker.

I am incredibly pleased to know...

you found a use for my glasses-maker.

However, now is not the time for you to use her services.

Bring them here.

What are these?

They were found in the room...

that belonged to the court maid that harmed the Queen.

Why would you show me...

these items with a corrupt and dirty nature?

These accessories were all we found as proof.

You know all about what goes on in the Palace.

I thought Your Highness might know something.

How dare you, Your Majesty?

Do you suspect me?

Would I dare suspect you?

You did not give me life,

but you are my mother.

I am King, and my people watch my every move.

I would never insult my mother in such a way.

Yes, Your Majesty.

That is the person you are.

Never once did you do wrong.

So...

you would have never held...

a banned purging ritual to curse your own brother.

Your Highness.

I took my joke too far.

He was a half-brother that I am sure...

you wanted dead many times.

But our great King...

would not have done such a thing.

I came here right now...

because my Queen is in very poor health.

The Queen is unwell?

The physician says she could have contracted something contagious.

This girl was with the Queen yesterday.

I feared she might give you the illness.

That is why I rushed over.

Forgive me for taking her away so abruptly.

You look out for your mother...

in a way that sets a great example for the people.

You may take her away.

(Dowager Queen's Palace)

Discreetly keep an eye on the Dowager Queen's Palace.

They will make a move.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My goodness!

Yeo Ri, what is that on your neck?

My neck?

Yes, right here. My gosh.

Oh, no!

Goodness. What is going on?

Yeo Ri!

Yeo Ri.

What is wrong with her?

Yeo Ri... What happened to her?

Calm down, Royal Scribe Yoon.

She is running a high fever, so we believe it is malaria.

She also has blister-like lesions, which we have never seen before.

Hence, we have not been able to properly diagnose her yet.

Blister-like lesions?

Lesions like that...

form a line, starting from the neck...

all the way down to the sacral chakra below her navel.

The deadly spell.

The deadly spell did this.

It got to her, at last.

That darned evil water spirit.

I should have destroyed it right there and then.

The physicians are to wait outside.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Please come with me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My queen exhibited the same symptoms.

What do you think?

Can she be cured?

Yeo Ri.

I believe the evil water spirit's deadly spell...

got to me.

That spell...

was targetting the child...

in Her Highness the Queen's womb.

- That evil water spirit... - That is enough.

Stop talking.

Look at the state you are in now.

You cannot afford to worry about others.

We must catch the evil water spirit...

to lift this deadly spell.

Otherwise,

Her Highness will be put in danger...

Yeo Ri.

What nonsense!

Your Majesty, this cannot be done.

We can never let it happen.

He is right, Your Majesty.

It is utterly wrong.

Did you not hear what she said earlier?

There is only one way to remove that deadly spell.

We must catch the spirit that did this.

However, it will not be easy to lure back the spirit that has fled.

Even so, how dare you suggest...

we use His Majesty as bait?

Then...

will you offer your son instead?

That evil water spirit is persistently after the fetus.

It means the Eight-feet Spirit who is after the royal blood...

is behind it.

If you are there too, the evil water spirit...

will smell your blood and show up again. I am sure of it.

Say one more word, and I will cut off your tongue!

Do you think I will let you slay me?

I, too, will stop at nothing.

If we keep dragging this out, Yeo Ri will die.

If you do not cooperate,

I will have no choice but to drag your son there.

You do not think I can do it?

- Drop your swords. - Your Majesty.

Now!

My queen is in serious condition.

What do you need?

Oh, my.

The glasses-maker was that shaman?

But where does that wench come from?

I hear she could come to the Palace...

because Royal Scribe Yoon Gap recommended her.

I hear she is from a village called Yongdam in the Ducheong County.

Did you...

just say Yongdam Village?

Yes.

What is the matter? Is there something you know?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, Kang Chul!

Do not talk to me unless you are going to help me.

You said it was a lie.

You said you would simply play along.

How is this "playing along?"

I know you cannot fully use your powers at the moment.

You are not as strong as you used to be.

It is all because...

you have been trapped in a human body for too long.

What if we can never ascend at this rate?

Seriously...

Why go through all this trouble...

just to save a girl who is on the verge of death?

Goodness.

Shut your mouth.

I never even pee, but I nearly wet myself.

Darn it.

Yeo Ri, that wench. I am beginning to resent her even more.

You hold onto the warding stone.

No, we cannot do that.

Do not listen to him, Your Majesty.

Yeo Ri said Your Majesty...

should keep the glasses on you at all times.

The warding stone wards off evil spirits.

We must use him as bait to catch an evil spirit,

so he should not keep it on him.

We should not listen to him.

I agreed to bring Your Majesty here...

for I knew the powers of that crystal.

If Your Majesty's safety is not guaranteed,

I cannot do as he says.

You bravely decided to tag along here.

Now, you want to chicken out like a coward.

Do you know what I am telling myself as I am putting up with you now?

If you know you are here as bait, act like one.

Yeo Ri is on the verge of death now for she tried to save your wife.

If Yeo Ri dies because you do a clumsy job,

I will turn into an evil spirit worse than the Eight-feet Spirit...

and rip you to shreds.

I will make sure you die an extremely painful death.

Hold onto it.

Your Majesty.

I...

truly cannot stand you either.

Royal Scribe Yoon Gap was the vassal I was most fond of.

However, you dared to possess his body.

You are facing me as him,

speaking insolently to me in his voice!

But surely, you would not understand what it is like...

to see that.

Just know that...

I, too, am doing my best to tolerate you with utmost patience.

The longing for him is unbearable.

And I am staring right at his face and body.

But it is not him.

It is the face I treasure the most.

But you, whom I loathe the most, have taken over his face.

This is...

the most wretched nightmare.

Darn you.

You brought back the memory!

Your Majesty!

Are you all right?

I await Your Majesty's order.

I will slay him in a single sweep.

I, too, wish to behead him right this instant,

but I cannot save my queen if he dies.

However...

Even when I had to fight my political enemies in the court,

I managed to do it without a flinch.

I suppressed my emotions...

to keep my cool and persevere bravely.

But you...

I truly cannot stand you.

I cannot stand you!

Your Majesty.

How dare you!

You truly irk me,

and I would kill you right this instant if I could,

but I shall hold back for I need you as bait.

Head Eunuch.

Head Eunuch.

Head Eunuch.

Head Eunuch.

Head Eunuch.

- Did she wake up? - Yes, she did.

Oh, okay. Let us go.

I told you. You should not be moving around.

Open the door.

Why are you getting up?

Lie back down.

So? Are you all right?

What about Kang Chul?

Where is Kang Chul?

Kang Chul...

Oh, please.

Go on.

Well, if you are talking about the serpent,

he went to catch that evil spirit.

What is insane is that...

he took His Majesty with him.

Goodness. What are you doing? You have not fully recovered yet.

If anything bad happens to you, he will make me pay for it.

That serpent went on about it and threatened me.

I must go.

I must go there and stop him.

Or else, everyone will be put in danger.

What?

I am here offering myself as bait,

but that evil spirit still has not appeared.

Perhaps, there was something wrong with your plan.

Did you think the evil spirit would welcome you with open arms?

I bet he is watching you from somewhere,

waiting for the right moment to strike.

However,

this is indeed strange.

Spirits usually appear at the Hour of the Mouse.

How come he has not appeared when it is almost dawn?

Could it be because...

he is doing a clumsy job as bait?

I must say, I am surprised you actually followed me here.

I have seen many men who do not cherish their wives.

My queen...

is more than a wife to me.

She came to the Palace at a young age...

when things were difficult, to say the least,

and held out with me through countless hardships.

I ought to protect her, at all costs.

Does that five-coloured bracelet belong to Yoon Gap?

It is mine.

Yeo Ri made it for me when she became my disciple.

Yeo Ri made it for you,

not Yoon Gap?

That is right.

She prayed from the bottom of her heart as she touched each thread.

What was that? That insulting scoff.

It was nothing.

You see,

it utterly offends me to hear you say Yeo Ri's name.

The ill-fated connection...

between you and Yeo Ri goes back generations.

You...

So, you know everything?

Then that shaman, Neop Deok too...

Do not even bring it up in front of Yeo Ri.

She will stop at nothing.

If she learns that too,

I do not know what she might do.

The sun is rising.

We cannot afford to waste any more time.

If it is my blood that you want,

I will give it to you.

Your Majesty.

Come on, quick!

Run!

Do not turn around.

Run!

Kang Chul, no.

This is a trap. Please.

Hold onto it!

(We thank Kim Ki Ri for his cameo appearance.)

(The Haunted Palace)

Come with me.

If I do not go, Kang Chul will be in danger.

This entire place reeks of a rotten stench.

I cannot breathe.

Kang Chul.

Who put you up to this?

Round up all the blind shamans!

His Majesty will not be able to avoid a grave disaster either.

That horrendous evil spirit.

We must find evidence, no matter what.

When was the Eight-feet Spirit first seen? Please tell me,

Your Majesty.
