I suppose...

I must have caught two falling petals.

After all,

I ended up marrying my first love twice.

I...

I'm sorry.

At times like this,

you should be hugging me, not kneeling.

Stick to me like glue.

The river must have been freezing.

And your life must have been just as cold after that.

I'm truly sorry.

Your Highness, I lived better than you think.

I laughed often,

and there were moments when I was breathtakingly happy.

Park Dal I actually lived a pretty decent life, you know.

If you pity me like this, what does that make my five years?

Even if brief, a life is still a life.

No,

it's not pity.

I'm truly sorry.

And stop using formal speech with me.

It's awkward.

How could I speak informally like before?

Please treat me as Park Dal I,

not Crown Princess Kang Yeon Wol.

Just like every day.

Not all my memories have returned,

and the five years I lived as Park Dal I

feel far more vivid than that hazy past.

- But... - And

what if someone overhears?

We both should be cautious.

Huh?

How can a fool like me, who didn't even recognize you at my side,

say anything?

From now on, I'll do everything as you say, Dal I.

By the way,

suddenly I'm curious.

Who do you like more, Kang Yeon Wol

or Park Dal I?

What?

What kind of question...

Well,

I'm just asking.

Which one do you prefer?

For the record, you can't choose both.

What kind of...

Is this really so hard to answer?

What could I,

a foolish man, possibly say?

I'll do as you say, Dal I.

You're kind of avoiding the question, huh?

What could the foolish me possibly say?

I'll do as you say, Dal I.

Are you alright?

Why would you...

How could the foolish me be alright?

I'll do as you say, Dal I.

You startled me.

The foolish me,

this time I'll do as I wish.

Sir.

Sir.

What is this?

When one Red Thread is broken,

the others are bound to tangle too.

It seems that fool still hasn't let go.

Unaware he's becoming a monster...

Hong Nan from Eunwolgak

asked to inform the Chief Eunuch

that she is in Hanyang with Kang Yeon Wol.

Kang Yeon Wol, you say.

I heard Hong Nan has an older brother.

Is he the runaway eunuch?

How could you know...

[Order]

I heard the nameless ones tattoo the character for 'order of life' on their bodies.

[Order]

Please spare me.

So, Your Highness.

You must not show pity

or curiosity recklessly.

If his goal was to become the Royal Father-in-Law,

he should've killed me in the Gyesa Year.

Compared to the Crown Princess,

killing a mere lady would've been far easier.

The timing is odd too.

- Let's go. - Let me go.

Given I was deposed shortly after that incident,

I must've witnessed something I shouldn't have

at my mother's grave that day.

What on earth is on Gamaksan Mountain?

My lady, it's Yeon Sim.

Come in.

There's a letter left at the door...

[Episode 12 The Woman in White Mourning Clothes]

Get them!

Seize the court lady and eunuch who abandoned their posts and fled the palace!

Release me, you fool!

Open the door!

- Arrest them! - Yes.

Well now, the day has finally come.

No.

Honey!

No!

Can one hide by shrouding the moon in smoke?

How would you protect them?

I apologize for dragging you both into this.

What are you saying?

The sin is ours to bear, but why are you apologizing?

Yes, let's not speak of meaningless things.

I know I snapped at you sometimes,

but I was

always sorry and grateful, dear.

Honey, just listen for a second.

If there's a next life...

come find me

just once more.

I'll be born

a rich nobleman next time,

rich enough to pile up mountains with golden chamber pots for you.

So please...

Find me just once more.

Why meet again?

But if we do,

I won't

yell at you

or blow up anymore.

And I'll treat you well.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop the execution!

What? What is it?

Step aside.

Dal.

Father, Mother.

Auntie.

Dal.

How could you...

On what grounds are you sentencing them to beheading?

They are the court lady and eunuch who fled,

and the one who sheltered them.

That's...

They are my family.

I will explain it to His Majesty. Please stop the execution.

That is not the answer.

Reveal your true identity.

If I answer that question...

Dal!

Will you let them go?

Who else would she be?

She's Park Dal I!

Even in death and rebirth, you are Park Dal I!

That's right!

I lived five extra years anyway.

That was enough of a dream.

My Dal I.

Dal I.

Thank you for coming to me.

Thank you, my daughter.

Same for me.

My daughter.

Don't cry.

Okay?

Carry out the execution.

No, stop!

I am...

I am the deposed Crown Princess Kang.

Deposed Crown Princess?

Deposed...

She is indeed the deposed Crown Princess.

Dal I.

♫ You flew in like a cloud ♫

What did you just say?

♫ Departing like starlight, my beloved ♫

♫ Oh, will my love return to me ♫

- No! - Dal I, no!

Dal I, why would you...

- Dal I. - Dal I.

Did you not hear?

I am the deposed Crown Princess Kang.

♫ The rain sounds like your voice ♫

I am Yeon Wol of the Kang family.

I've given you the answer you wanted,

so seize me.

Stop the execution

and arrest the criminal, the deposed Crown Princess Kang!

- Yes. - Arrest her.

- Yes. - No!

- No! - No!

Dal I.

♫ Born of dreams ♫

No, Dal I!

- Dal I! - No!

- Dal I! - No!

- You can't take her! - Your Highness the Crown Prince.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

♫ Oh dear, oh dear, what a mess ♫

♫ Oh dear, oh dear, what a mess ♫

♫ Oh dear, oh dear, what a mess ♫

♫ Oh, will my love return to me ♫

♫ Oh, how futile all becomes ♫

Your Majesty.

The deposed Crown Princess, sentenced to death, being alive is treason.

Please behead the deposed Crown Princess who disgraced the royal family.

- Please behead her. - Please behead her.

She dared to hide her identity

and infiltrate the palace, please behead

the deposed Crown Princess!

- Please behead her! - Please behead her!

You know better than anyone that Dal I is innocent, don't you?

Please help me.

There is no way to prove the Crown Princess' innocence.

Other than the true killer of the Queen admitting to the crime,

everything is just the same as it was five years ago.

Then and now, what matters most to me is you.

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

So Hoon, who defied the royal decree and fled,

no,

the deposed Crown Princess Kang,

[Strangulation: Execution by hanging] is sentenced to strangulation.

- I shall carry out the order, Your Majesty. - I shall carry out the order, Your Majesty.

You mustn't do this.

You mustn't do this, Your Majesty!

Left Guard Officer and Eunuch Yoon,

escort the Crown Prince back to Donggung Palace.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - You mustn't do this.

You mustn't do this, Your Majesty!

Let go! Let me go!

You mustn't do this.

Please spare the Crown Princess!

You mustn't do this.

You mustn't do this, Your Majesty!

Please spare the Crown Princess!

Your Majesty.

That's enough now.

Your Majesty,

your grace is boundless.

- Your grace is boundless, Your Majesty. - Your grace is boundless, Your Majesty.

What does that mean?

So Hoon is the Crown Princess?

Exactly.

I didn't believe it either,

but many witnessed it.

Right there in the crowded execution ground,

So Hoon herself declared that she is the deposed Crown Princess Kang.

Prepare my official robe.

Yes.

If So Hoon is the deposed Princess,

what happens to her now?

I heard His Majesty has ordered strangulation.

So Hoon.

No, if the deposed Princess dies again, the Crown Prince will never recover.

Are you worried about His Highness now?

I am worried.

If the Crown Prince falls, there will be no one to bring down my father,

and no one to help me find Deok Chun.

Tell them to bring the wedding robes.

Your Highness.

The Crown Princess' family has returned to Unjeonggung Palace.

They are all safe.

That's a relief.

But what about the Crown Princess?

If you command it, I'll break the prison and rescue her myself!

No!

If we act rashly, we might lose Dal I again.

You must stay calm,

and don't do anything reckless, Your Highness.

Please take care of my family.

The situation is the same as five years ago.

We must be more cautious than ever.

Your Highness, Prince Je Woon is here.

Did you come because you heard news of Dal I?

Yes, but something feels off.

What do you mean?

I'm on my way from the Royal Wardrobe,

and they said Woo Hee told them to bring the wedding robes.

Is everything ready?

Yes, Your Ladyship.

Yeo Ri will assist me, so everyone else out.

Madam.

Please step outside for a moment.

I will call if I need help.

Wait.

- Go. - Wait...

It was bound to come to this eventually. You certainly took the long way around.

What do you intend to do with me now?

The strangulation sentence will be carried out soon.

If you kill me,

do you really think His Highness will stay still?

What can

His Highness possibly do?

I must've witnessed something I shouldn't have

at my mother's grave that day.

What on earth is on Gamaksan Mountain?

Gamaksan Mountain?

I know exactly what you are hiding there, Left Minister.

If I die like this, His Highness will expose that secret.

After all, His Majesty and His Highness

both considered abdication anyway...

If everything comes to light,

who do you think will panic more?

Your Highness,

you always end up wearing yourself out over that matter.

There must be something there.

I need to tell His Highness about this.

Aren't you examining the fitting a bit too thoroughly?

How is it not strange that the woman who shot me

to avoid the royal marriage

is now fitting my wedding robe?

There really is a note.

Wow, what an impressive deduction.

What does it say?

I will escape the detached palace. Please send someone.

I will distract my father, so use that chance to help So Hoon escape.

When ready, signal with a cuckoo's call.

I'll do it.

Lady Binssi could be endangered.

She is my woman.

I won't let her get hurt.

Alright.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

Is this silk brought in by the Hanyang Merchant Group?

Yes, Your Highness.

But, why are you asking?

Do you think these crude patterns are fit for the royal family?

Immediately inform the Hanyang Merchant Group to recall them and send new silk.

Yes.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

- Your Ladyship. - Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

What happened?

After days of refusing food and drink, she has finally collapsed.

Notify the Royal Physician at once...

Don't come near. I'll stab her if you come any closer.

Yeo Ri.

Yes.

You, take off your clothes.

[Moonlight reflects your face upon the river, dewdrops sing alone beneath the moon's glow]

I have something to report.

Lady Binssi...

has escaped

the detached palace.

Was this Prince Je Woon's doing?

We already sent someone to verify.

According to our spy planted in Eunwolgak,

he was at Eunwolgak all day since this afternoon.

What about the deposed Crown Princess in the prison?

I will check.

No.

I will verify it myself.

What brings you here, Left Minister?

You just sent a palace attendant from the detached palace as well...

Open the door.

Yes.

Stop.

- Your Highness. - Surround them.

- Save Lady Binssi. - Yes!

- Seize that scoundrel. - Yes!

Lady Binssi comes first.

Your Ladyship, are you alright?

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship, get down quickly.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

How dare you...

I'll enter the prison in So Hoon's place. Take So Hoon and escape.

[Token, Gihye Year]

I'm Jin Mi Ryeong, a court lady of the detached palace.

I come under orders from the Left Minister to see the deposed Crown Princess.

Of all times, during shift change...

Go in.

What bring you here, Lady Binssi?

Get out of here, find Deok Chun, and deliver this letter.

To the masked person?

It's open.

There's no time.

W-Wait.

What exactly are you planning?

Human shell game.

The deposed Crown Princess has escaped. Find her.

- Yes. - Yes.

Now,

let's go.

[Re-dyed Silk, Avoid Dampness] Yes.

Stop.

Go, go.

What is all this?

Yes, sir.

This is

silk delivered to the Royal Wardrobe.

We were ordered to send it back.

We received no such order. We'll inspect it briefly.

[Re-dyed Silk, Avoid Dampness] No, wait! Here, it's the Royal Wardrobe's seal.

Step aside.

Be careful!

One bolt of this silk costs a hundred nyang.

If even a thread is torn,

you'll have to buy the entire box.

One, two, three, four, five.

Goodness, that's enough to buy a whole house...

How many years of royal guard salary is this?

Two...

Two hundred years?

Oh dear, inspect it carefully, please.

Get lost quickly.

Oh dear, thank you, sir.

Hurry, go.

Hey, you rascals, hurry up.

Immediately inform the Hanyang Merchant Group to recall them and send new silk.

Yes.

You're looking at silk at a time like this?

In any situation, one must observe their surroundings carefully.

Both the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have safely left the palace.

What a relief.

In the end,

nothing has changed from five years ago.

Then and now, what matters most to me is you.

We found evidence

the Left Minister has a private army called the nameless ones.

A private army?

That's treason.

However,

we have nothing concrete yet.

According to this letter Dal I gave us,

the masked person is in Yangju, and the nameless ones is in a mountain fortress.

Let's search the nearby mountains.

We only know that their base is somewhere in Yangju.

Speaking of which,

if I die, someone else will reveal the secret pact.

The secret pact must be there.

The Left Minister said

if he dies, the secret pact will be made public.

He surely hid it with the most trusted leader of the nameless ones.

Do you have a plan?

I plan to go to Yangju with Je Woon and find the nameless ones' base.

It could cost you your life.

Are you prepared?

No.

I have no intention of dying obediently.

I'm not that Kang Yeon Wol who meekly vanished five years ago.

I will never leave

His Highness again.

I'll live and spend the rest of my days happily.

I'll live boldly, as if to avenge the past.

It's different from five years ago.

Right.

You and the Crown Princess have changed...

There's no rule saying I must stay the same.

I will sentence the Crown Princess to execution as they demanded.

Use the moment the Left Minister lets down his guard, and escape the palace with her.

Father.

Bring me the tally.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Take it with you.

[Hobu: A wooden tally that empowered both sides to mobilize troops by royal order]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being a cowardly father who could not always support you.

I'll return safely,

Father.

My lord, hurry.

Well...

Isn't your snoring act a little too fake?

My lord, why are you only back now? I'm currently...

No, why did you come back?

You should grab Lady Binssi's hand and escape outright.

I'll live.

I'll stay alive

and wait for her.

Woo Hee.

They'll soon realize I've escaped.

Hurry.

Buy me as much time as possible.

I must take my leave now.

Woo Hee.

Won't this be dangerous?

If the bait runs for its life,

the fish gets away.

I don't know. I don't know anything anymore.

How could I...

leave you behind?

Can't we just run away together?

Live.

If we're caught again, Father will kill you, my prince.

So,

live, Je Woon.

I will come to you.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Where is the deposed Crown Princess?

I don't know.

And even if I did, would I tell you

after all this trouble?

Yeo Ri.

Yeo Ri.

Yeo Ri.

Yeo Ri.

Even if a hundred others died, you wouldn't blink an eye, would you?

Find the deposed Crown Princess, no matter what.

Yes.

[Reward: 100 nyang]

- Find them. - Yes.

[Reward: 100 nyang]

It seems even he's exhausted.

Well, he hasn't taken a single break while running.

Shall we find an inn in a nearby village?

Let's do that.

Come here.

Stay still.

What's wrong?

What are you hiding?

What's this?

Look closely.

Do you know this person, or not?

- Look closely. - Look here.

[Order] Look closely.

Let's go.

Yes.

The sun will set soon.

Huh? Hold on a moment.

Since this is Bulgoksan Mountain...

Right, follow me.

I've hidden another amazing swallow nearby.

Huh?

Wait, how many swallows do you have?

Hurry up.

This is the place.

Seems like no one's here.

Yes, come in.

No, wait a minute.

Are you sure this is the house?

Can you see this stone clock?

It means he went far away to gather herbs.

Please come in.

That's what it means?

The old man told me to stop by if I was ever nearby, as thanks for saving him before.

If no one's home, he said I could rest here comfortably.

Okay?

Just trust me and follow me, Your Highness.

Alright, this way.

What do you mean?

Why must we go to Gamaksan Mountain?

Actually, on the day I was arrested,

I exchanged a few words with the Left Minister.

Something felt off, so I probed a bit.

He seemed unusually flustered, which really bothered me.

[Six years ago, Yeon Wol's mother's grave on Gamaksan Mountain]

Let's go.

Please take me to the palace.

Who are you?

This letter...

My apologies.

Our lady lost her son and has not been well since.

My lady, at least put on your shoes.

The ground is frozen.

[Order]

We apologize for the disturbance.

- Let's go. - Let go of me.

Your Highness, judging by her attire, she does seem to be from a noble household.

And there were no signs of abuse.

I didn't notice then,

but her socks weren't worn, and her clothes were clean.

She didn't look like someone who had crossed mountains and rivers.

Are you saying the nameless ones have a base at Gamaksan Mountain?

Yes, possibly.

And most importantly, my brother...

Have you learned anything about the woman in white mourning clothes at Gamaksan Mountain?

I'm looking into it now.

I'll report after a more thorough investigation.

Then, you didn't come to tell me about her?

If anything should happen to me...

[The Art of War] Please deliver this book to His Highness.

What do you mean? What could happen?

Not long after that incident, I was deposed, and my entire family was executed.

The woman in white mourning clothes at Gamaksan Mountain.

[Order] The nameless one protecting her.

The book left behind while pursuing her.

There must be clues inside it.

Wait a moment.

A book?

Was it by any chance

a military strategy book?

How did you know?

For five years, the Royal Wardrobe stored all your belongings.

But, I found it odd that a military book was among them.

There must be significant clues inside.

But, we can't enter the palace.

And spies are everywhere.

Whether it's Gamaksan Mountain or the palace, moving about is too dangerous.

Let's lay low for a few days.

Yes.

Where are you going?

You're awake?

I was going to prepare breakfast.

No!

What do you mean 'no'?

I'll do it.

It's fine, I can handle it.

Do you not want to eat my cooking?

No, that's not it.

I just feel like I can do it.

I think I can manage.

No.

No, absolutely not.

I can do it.

Jeez.

Tsk.

Your Highness and I

are equally bad at cooking.

Let's see.

What are you doing holding a knife like that?

Move aside. I'll do it.

Why is he good at this?

Knife skills

aren't that different after all.

It's just different cutting techniques.

What else did you cut?

I told you it's not that easy.

A beginner can't do it.

Watch carefully.

This isn't about strength.

It's all about technique.

I knew this would happen.

- Ah, wait. - You'll never get rice from the lady like that.

Give it to me.

If you were that lady, I'd never eat that rice.

I'm good at chopping more than just firewood.

Is it good?

Yes.

Is it tasty?

It's delicious.

These walnuts taste best

with dried persimmons, you know.

Only a prince would talk about persimmons at a time like this.

Who said it's for me?

I want to give you something tasty.

What?

I might accept them normally, but I don't want dried persimmons now.

Why not?

If you go out at night looking for persimmons,

you'll end up in the afterlife instead.

Well...

I mean,

it's so hot even at night

that I cracked a joke to cool things down.

Why are you making that serious face?

Should we...

just run away like this?

What are you saying?

My brother's military book might contain clues about the nameless ones.

If it fails again...

If even that doesn't defeat the Left Minister...

If I still

can't protect you...

You're alive here,

and we're

smiling face to face.

Revenge or righteousness...

what's the point of it all?

I'll live as your Lee Gang.

Can't we just

live like this?

If the Crown Prince is gone,

Prince Je Woon becomes the next heir.

Prince Je Woon must never

inherit the throne.

But he's Your Majesty's only blood relative,

so wouldn't Prince Je Woon ascending the throne be better than others...

It is I

who framed Prince Je Woon's mother for adultery and executed her,

then banished him to Sinjusa Temple.

Who knows what darkness he hides

in his heart now?

He must never

sit on the throne.

Your Majesty.

Actually, I've heard a secret rumor circulating among the palace attendants...

Where is the Left Minister said to be?

I know Lady Binssi eloped

with Prince Je Woon

very recently.

Did you summon me to threaten me?

I called you to propose a deal.

Even if you fail to find the Crown Prince,

you must prevent Prince Je Woon

from ascending the throne.

Is Prince Je Woon

not Your Majesty's only blood?

I've never considered him

my grandson, not once.

After Queen Jangjeong gave birth to a son

and that son became Crown Prince,

the prophecy that the late king

would not live out his natural lifespan

came true.

Prince Je Woon should never have been born.

No, from the very beginning,

we should never have placed Queen Jangjeong,

that impure woman, in the queen's palace.

All of today's tragedies

and the royal family's misfortunes

are because of that mother and son.

Yet allowing Prince Je Woon to claim the throne

is utterly unthinkable.

Your Majesty,

you haven't changed at all.

I thought I'd taken everything from you,

yet what are you trying to protect

with this stubborn greed?

Taken everything?

What do you...

Do you truly think

the disaster of the Gyesa Year was because of the prophecy?

Are you still blaming Queen Jangjeong and Prince Je Woon?

The Gyesa Year tragedy happened

because of you, Your Majesty.

Why did you do that to Queen Jangjeong?

Mother.

Mother.

My son.

Please,

don't resent your father.

These eyes, nose, lips,

from fingertips to toes,

everything was given by your father.

Mother.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Don't tell me...

Why on earth did you brand

that noble lady with the vile accusation

of adultery and have her killed?

Because of me?

No.

Don't say

Queen Jangjeong's name

ever again.

I'll head to Qing.

Just me and my wife, two people.

Find us a ship to Jemulpo

by tomorrow's Shin hour.

Yes, understood, my lord.

Huh?

A hundred nyang?

His Majesty sent us.

He commanded me to assist Your Highness in fulfilling the righteous cause.

But

how did you know to come here?

We searched the entire area.

They're here. They've arrived!

Hand over the deposed princess and return to the palace now, Your Highness.

What if I refuse?

We're under orders to bring you back by force if necessary.

Oh, is that so?

Take Dal I with you.

It's an order.

- Your Highness. - How can you tell us to leave you behind?

Go now!

From now on,

I do as I please.

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

Go ahead and try.

Royal Father-in-Law or not, if you want to shatter the Left Minister's dream, then get over here!

Hurry!

What are you doing? Clear the path.

Clear the path.

Hurry up.

Alright.

But, Your Highness.

Would it be enough

if just the two of us were happy?

Lady Binssi,

Prince Je Woon,

and even His Majesty who's anxiously waiting...

If we abandon all those who trust and wait for us...

Could we truly be happy?

The Left Minister will keep doing evil.

And we haven't sinned, running away

would be such a loss.

As a merchant, I particularly hate losing out.

We can't be sure if the nameless ones' hideout is in Gamaksan Mountain.

Nor if the secret pact is actually there. Nothing's certain.

We have to cling to whatever hope we can.

If there's a chance, we have to go.

We're in a do-or-die situation now, and all bets are on the table.

If there's any move left, we should charge ahead even if it costs us.

We should break through

head-on, even blind.

Right.

I'll do as you suggest.

There's a temple called Jeungyeongsa on Gamaksan Mountain.

- I'll wait there... - No.

I'll go.

Your Highness must return to the palace to find the military book.

I thought this body swap was a curse...

But perhaps

it's become a perfect opportunity.

I can fight, so I'll go to the mountain fortress.

You're quick-witted, so go to the palace, and find the book.

It may be difficult as soon as you arrive and get caught up,

but you must locate the book and send it to me through Je Woon.

Do exactly

what I tell you.

Alright.

Your Highness.

His Majesty has issued a confinement decree.

But, that's not His Majesty's own will, right?

The confinement decree will trap us completely,

so I should return The Art of War I borrowed from Prince Je Woon.

- It's in my wardrobe. - That's not important right now.

Do you remember

the moon we saw at Jeungyeongsa Temple on Gamaksan Mountain?

Why suddenly talk of temples and moons?

The moon

must still linger there.

Return that book to Je Woon.

The military book, I mean.

[Classic of Poetry]

[The Art of War]

The Art of War.

This is it.

[The Art of War]

His Highness instructed you to deliver this book to me?

Yes.

He mentioned this book and spoke of the moon at Jeungyeongsa Temple on Gamaksan Mountain.

But, I have no memory of going to Gamaksan Mountain with His Highness.

If it's about the moon...

He said, 'The moon must still linger there.'

Could he mean the Crown Princess is at Jeungyeongsa Temple?

It's just military book.

What's special about it?

It's different.

We've located the nameless ones' hideout coordinates from the military book.

I'll return within three days at the latest.

Nameless ones?

Mountain hideout?

Six years ago,

on Gamaksan Mountain

I saw a woman in white mourning clothes and the nameless one.

Let me go. Let go.

Wait.

[Woman in white mourning clothes]

Woman in white mourning clothes.

Letter.

They say the Marriage Ban Edict will be issued soon.

It's a maiden's ribbon.

When I pass the military exam and become strong enough to protect you...

Could I

be your husband then?

Could you just survive?

Please stay alive.

You must live.

He's my son.

I've grown

stronger than ever,

but you have no way back.

What am I...

supposed to do?

The unusually tight security over there is suspicious...

right?

It would be best to get a closer look.

It's the Left Minister.

♫ You flew in like a cloud ♫

♫ Departing like starlight, my beloved ♫

♫ Oh, will my love return to me ♫

Mother.

♫ Oh, how futile all becomes ♫

[Moon River] ♫ All but a dream ♫

[Moon River]

♫ The rain sounds like your voice ♫

The secret pact must be where Her Majesty is.

If you find the secret pact,

can you take it straight to Hanyang?

I hereby appoint the daughter of Left Minister Kim Han Cheol as the Crown Princess.

Since you shattered me, Father,

these broken pieces can only pierce you.

He will come.

He promised, so he surely will.

This is the revenge

of Dal I and me.

♫ Born of dreams, living and dying in dreams ♫
