Everyone in the Bureau feels that way. 45 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,913 So please give us an explanation. The theme was to draw the autumn foliage. 46 00:04:01,598 --> 00:04:07,262 But there is no such thing on her painting! How can you say it is better than mine? 47 00:04:10,702 --> 00:04:12,909 She's here. 48 00:04:16,051 --> 00:04:18,496 So you are the Damo Sung Song Yeon? 49 00:04:19,025 --> 00:04:20,356 Yes, Sir. 50 00:04:20,357 --> 00:04:27,012 I called for you because I wanted to ask you something before I gave my explanation to them. 51 00:04:29,542 --> 00:04:35,527 We asked you to draw autumn colors. Why did you not use any colors in your painting? 52 00:04:37,726 --> 00:04:40,621 Were you not confident in your ability to create colors? 53 00:04:47,109 --> 00:04:52,004 It... It was because I had no pigment to use. 54 00:04:52,005 --> 00:04:55,198 What do you mean you had no pigment to use? 55 00:04:57,490 --> 00:05:00,877 It is just an excuse, Sir! She doesn't know, so she's making up excuses! 56 00:05:01,221 --> 00:05:03,351 Stay out of this. 57 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,638 Tell me. Why dd you not have any pigments to use? 58 00:05:08,342 --> 00:05:11,559 I don't know what happened, but the pigments given to me were 59 00:05:11,967 --> 00:05:17,007 mixed up and poor in quality. They were completely unusable. 60 00:05:17,327 --> 00:05:20,378 That's why you only used black ink? 61 00:05:20,873 --> 00:05:21,710 Yes, Sir. 62 00:05:21,711 --> 00:05:25,781 But to draw a painting about the autumn in black... 63 00:05:25,782 --> 00:05:27,982 Isn't that unusual? 64 00:05:31,672 --> 00:05:34,437 He is asking you a question. Answer him! 65 00:05:34,438 --> 00:05:36,937 I will answer for her. 66 00:05:41,277 --> 00:05:48,431 In my eyes, this painting not only depicts autumn, but also spring, summer and winter. 67 00:05:49,941 --> 00:05:52,095 What do you mean? 68 00:05:52,096 --> 00:05:58,334 Autumn does not happen alone. Winter, spring and summer must pass before it. 69 00:05:58,771 --> 00:06:03,704 Therefore in a painting of autumn, one must not only paint the scenery of autumn, 70 00:06:04,143 --> 00:06:08,415 but all four seasons. 71 00:06:09,155 --> 00:06:13,899 In this black and white painting, there are colors of all four seasons. 72 00:06:15,089 --> 00:06:19,889 So how is it? Have I understood your painting well? 73 00:06:20,369 --> 00:06:22,665 You flatter me, Sir. 74 00:06:22,666 --> 00:06:28,195 It is said that black is the combination of all the colors. 75 00:06:28,973 --> 00:06:35,726 If one uses it wisely, while it may not be extravagant, it can reveal the deeper depths of the other colors. 76 00:06:36,823 --> 00:06:41,741 The reason why we chose this painting to be in fifth place is, 77 00:06:42,188 --> 00:06:47,733 even though it was without color, the brushstrokes and meaning was greatly skilled. 78 00:06:48,163 --> 00:06:51,844 Not only that, she used only black ink to fully convey the colors of autumn. 79 00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:58,403 I personally wanted to give her first place in this competition. 80 00:07:02,894 --> 00:07:06,826 When I was first told that a girl would be taking part, I was flabbergasted. 81 00:07:07,287 --> 00:07:11,183 But I have been pleasantly surprised. 82 00:07:12,339 --> 00:07:14,411 Come, let us go now. 83 00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:52,537 That Damo Sung Song Yeon has managed to placed within the top five in the competition. 84 00:07:53,438 --> 00:07:55,689 - Is that really so? - Yes. 85 00:07:56,792 --> 00:08:00,250 Did the prince have anything to do with it? 86 00:08:00,802 --> 00:08:06,714 I'm not sure, but it is said that the prince was present when they announced the results. 87 00:08:07,803 --> 00:08:12,990 Is this not sufficient evidence that the prince and the Damo share a special relationship? 88 00:08:14,007 --> 00:08:19,602 Why is the prince throwing discretion to the wind and concerning himself so with that girl? 89 00:08:20,926 --> 00:08:25,646 Whatever the reason, it looks like we may have found ourselves a good bait. 90 00:08:27,491 --> 00:08:32,286 I will have to see for myself if that girl can be a good enough bait. 91 00:08:32,866 --> 00:08:36,385 We should save her for when we need her. Please do not go overboard. 92 00:08:37,561 --> 00:08:40,144 Alright, do not worry. 93 00:09:00,512 --> 00:09:03,211 Oh! What brings you to the Bureau? 94 00:09:03,212 --> 00:09:07,923 Hello!
