maintaining a cautious stance.

First of all,
93
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,254
did you two draw up
the marriage contract yourselves?

Just Ms. Do.

I haven't discussed it
with the Royal Secretariat yet,
100

choose not to respond.

As long as the contract is real,
103
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:38,833
any explanation or defense
will only stir up more noise.
104
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:41,252
So, are you asking us to stay silent?
105
00:07:43,672 --> 00:07:45,799
Yes. Precisely, Your Royal Highness.
106
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:52,806
Waiting for things
to die down could backfire on us.
107

We must wait until even that dies down.

The contract stipulates
a divorce within three years.

00:08:22,252 --> 00:08:23,336
Can you guarantee

724
00:57:15,891 --> 00:57:17,684
Just this once, please help me, Father.
725
00:57:20,854 --> 00:57:22,147
I want to make things right…
726
00:57:24,775 --> 00:57:26,234
but I don't know how.
727
00:57:33,283 --> 00:57:35,243
And you call yourself a businesswoman…
728
00:57:40,332 --> 00:57:41,541
[sniffles]
729
00:57:44,211 --> 00:57:45,212
Tell me.
730
00:57:46,254 --> 00:57:48,090
Who are you trying to save here? Yourself?
731
00:57:48,590 --> 00:57:49,800
Or the Grand Prince?
732
00:58:12,739 --> 00:58:15,367
Um, I heard you enjoyed black tea.
733
00:58:18,787 --> 00:58:19,788
Thank you.
734
00:58:26,461 --> 00:58:29,172
Perhaps you might consider
taking a few days off?
735
00:58:31,508 --> 00:58:33,927
[sighs] What's going on?
736
00:58:35,387 --> 00:58:40,016
The Prime Minister's Office has requested
that you cease your official duties.
737
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:43,353
[scoffs]
738
00:58:43,979 --> 00:58:44,980
A request?
739
00:58:49,067 --> 00:58:50,777
-Maybe just for a few days…

NEW MESSAGE
741
00:58:53,989 --> 00:58:55,240
[Huiju] I'll be there soon.
742
00:58:58,994 --> 00:59:01,705
Do not say anything to my wife.
743
00:59:02,414 --> 00:59:04,458
Yes, Your Royal Highness.

744
01:00:00,722 --> 01:00:01,723
Your Royal Highness.
745
01:00:08,313 --> 01:00:09,689
How's your father doing?
746
01:00:17,823 --> 01:00:19,533
What's this? A gift?
747
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:26,081
Your Royal Highness.
748
01:00:28,208 --> 01:00:29,209
Yes?
749
01:00:40,762 --> 01:00:41,972
Let's get a divorce.

EPILOGUE
752
01:01:19,551 --> 01:01:20,552
Tell me.
753
01:01:21,094 --> 01:01:22,846
Who are you trying to save here? Yourself?
754
01:01:22,929 --> 01:01:24,347
Or the Grand Prince?
755
01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:32,814
Him.
756
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:39,571
I can save myself.
757
01:01:43,116 --> 01:01:44,117
You…
758
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,247
Please, Father.
759
01:01:59,090 --> 01:02:02,010
PERFECT CROWN
760
01:02:38,630 --> 01:02:40,131
I want to cut my losses.
761
01:02:40,715 --> 01:02:42,008
Let's get a divorce.
762
01:02:43,259 --> 01:02:44,594
[I-AN] Is this how it felt?
763
01:02:46,137 --> 01:02:48,223
[Hyejeong] Are they really
going to get divorced?
764
01:02:48,306 --> 01:02:51,101
[Jeongwoo] You must stop either
the Grand Prince or His Majesty.
765
01:02:51,184 --> 01:02:52,602
Do whatever you must.
766
01:02:52,686 --> 01:02:53,895
[Huiju] But you lost it all.
767
01:02:54,479 --> 01:02:56,189
What could you possibly do for me now?
768
01:02:56,773 --> 01:02:57,774
Did you truly believe
769
01:02:57,857 --> 01:03:00,652
I could not protect us?
770
01:03:00,735 --> 01:03:02,404
[Yun] Surely you do not intend to accept.
771
01:03:02,487 --> 01:03:05,782
I need the girl I hid
brought to the palace.
772
01:03:05,865 --> 01:03:07,409
[I-AN] You did not trust me.
773
01:03:09,494 --> 01:03:11,287
[Lady Choi] The palace gates
will be shut soon.
774
01:03:12,622 --> 01:03:13,665
[Huiju] Let's see this through.
775
01:03:14,749 --> 01:03:15,834
I will be by your side.
