00:00:06,234 --> 00:00:10,434
You never visited me even once in my dreams.

3
00:00:10,434 --> 00:00:14,164
What is the matter that you came to me?

5
00:00:44,904 --> 00:00:46,944
My Lady!

6
00:00:46,944 --> 00:00:51,084
I think you need to go
to the shrine immediately.

7
00:01:03,574 --> 00:01:06,794
Mother, I am back-

8
00:01:17,064 --> 00:01:19,754
What is this?

9
00:01:26,124 --> 00:01:27,234
It is a fan.

10
00:01:27,234 --> 00:01:30,034
Am I asking because I do not know that?

11
00:01:30,034 --> 00:01:33,854
Why is there a man's fan in the shrine?

12
00:01:34,854 --> 00:01:37,654
I do not know, Mother!

13
00:01:38,284 --> 00:01:42,024
All right. If you do not know,

14
00:01:42,024 --> 00:01:48,404
I must look into who dared to put
such a vulgar thing in my Jeong's shrine.

15
00:01:48,404 --> 00:01:51,234
- Bong Mal-daek.
- Yes, Madam.

16
00:01:51,234 --> 00:01:54,994
Gather everyone right now
and find the owner of this fan.

17
00:01:54,994 --> 00:01:58,064
We must find him even if we have to beat them!

18
00:01:58,064 --> 00:02:00,284
You cannot!

19
00:02:02,464 --> 00:02:05,814
What did you just say?

20
00:02:05,814 --> 00:02:08,004
The thing is...

21
00:02:08,004 --> 00:02:10,714
- Could it be...
- The thing is...

22
00:02:10,714 --> 00:02:13,564
Could it be you really...

23
00:02:13,564 --> 00:02:15,724
The thing is...

24
00:02:17,624 --> 00:02:19,404
I am the one who hid it!

25
00:02:19,404 --> 00:02:21,424
What are you doing right now?

26
00:02:21,424 --> 00:02:22,974
How dare you interrupt!

27
00:02:22,974 --> 00:02:25,984
Yeon Seon, you stay outside.

28
00:02:27,864 --> 00:02:32,244
My Lady, please have me killed.

29
00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:37,434
Madam, My Lady does not know about this.

30
00:02:37,434 --> 00:02:41,944
I am the one who hid that fan here.

31
00:02:44,344 --> 00:02:47,324
If you are deceiving me with your tongue,

32
00:02:47,324 --> 00:02:49,944
you will not get out of this unscathed.

33
00:02:49,944 --> 00:02:54,644
Now, then, whose fan is this?

34
00:02:59,614 --> 00:03:02,944
A while ago, I was
walking in the mountains alone and

35
00:03:02,944 --> 00:03:06,774
ran into bandits and faced some difficulty.

36
00:03:07,884 --> 00:03:09,344
<i>Hey!</i>

37
00:03:09,344 --> 00:03:11,374
The servants ran off and

38
00:03:11,374 --> 00:03:14,784
the scary bandits drew their swords on me.

39
00:03:14,784 --> 00:03:18,664
'If you do not hand over your rice,
horrible things will happen to you.'

40
00:03:18,664 --> 00:03:21,344
Step by step...

41
00:03:21,344 --> 00:03:24,144
I was too scared to do anything and only went,

42
00:03:24,144 --> 00:03:27,694
'Please save me! Please help!'

43
00:03:28,484 --> 00:03:30,324
It was at that moment.

44
00:03:31,094 --> 00:03:33,224
<i>Halt!</i>

45
00:03:39,504 --> 00:03:43,664
<i>A man came out of nowhere and saved me.</i>

46
00:03:44,244 --> 00:03:47,264
He only dropped that fan and

47
00:03:47,264 --> 00:03:51,344
disappeared without a trace.

48
00:04:10,934 --> 00:04:14,174
So you do not know who he is?

49
00:04:14,174 --> 00:04:17,434
Must I kick you out of
this house to make you speak?

50
00:04:17,434 --> 00:04:20,074
It was the Royal Secretary of Defense!

51
00:04:20,074 --> 00:04:22,234
Are you...

52
00:04:22,234 --> 00:04:28,164
talking about the Grand
Chancellor's second son right now?

53
00:04:29,334 --> 00:04:30,524
Yes!

54
00:04:30,524 --> 00:04:33,214
How could I dare to give it back to him?

55
00:04:33,214 --> 00:04:36,174
But I could not throw it away, either.

56
00:04:38,264 --> 00:04:41,144
That was what happened, huh?

57
00:04:44,234 --> 00:04:46,424
Hurry up and get ready.

58
00:04:46,424 --> 00:04:49,734
- Sorry?
- You are still a member of our household.

59
00:04:49,734 --> 00:04:53,274
We must at least express our thanks in person.

60
00:04:53,274 --> 00:04:55,564
Follow me.

61
00:05:07,744 --> 00:05:13,584
<i>[Knight Flower - Episode 8: Fateful Coincidence]</i>

62
00:05:18,444 --> 00:05:21,984
The Head Eunuch found the eunuch who
was on duty at the time and confirmed.

63
00:05:21,984 --> 00:05:28,214
That Finance Minister's wife herself
prepared the tea for Father that night.

64
00:05:29,034 --> 00:05:33,184
In that case, could it really
be the Honorable Lady's doing?

65
00:05:33,184 --> 00:05:36,804
Though she stayed by Mother
like a shadow from a long time ago,

66
00:05:36,804 --> 00:05:41,134
she was too decent to
ever make a personal request.

67
00:05:42,474 --> 00:05:45,604
But why did a person like her do that?

68
00:05:45,604 --> 00:05:48,874
It cannot be her sole doing.

69
00:05:48,874 --> 00:05:53,894
She had frequented the queen's
pavilion freely 15 years ago as well.

70
00:05:53,894 --> 00:05:58,984
So she must have known the
Left State Minister since back then.

71
00:06:03,804 --> 00:06:06,564
The poison flower petal was
made known to the world again.

72
00:06:06,564 --> 00:06:11,454
The Left State Minister is sure to eliminate
the root cause to prevent the matter from worsening.

73
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:14,284
So the truth will not get buried again,

74
00:06:14,284 --> 00:06:19,474
I will tell my younger brother to
watch over the Finance Minister's wife.

75
00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:39,884
What are you doing
instead of cleaning your stand?

76
00:06:39,884 --> 00:06:42,574
They said I am dead,

77
00:06:42,574 --> 00:06:45,244
but you can see me, Grand Merchant?

78
00:06:47,474 --> 00:06:50,444
Well, you do not look like a ghost.

79
00:06:52,854 --> 00:06:56,854
Grand Merchant, you know
everything that goes on in Hanyang. Right?

80
00:06:56,854 --> 00:07:01,744
They say rumors in
Hanyang flow into Myeongdogak.

81
00:07:01,744 --> 00:07:03,174
Ask away.

82
00:07:03,174 --> 00:07:06,774
Then, are you familiar with the widow who
lives in the Left State Minister's house?

83
00:07:06,774 --> 00:07:08,204
I do not know her.

84
00:07:08,204 --> 00:07:11,534
- You sounded like you know everything just now-
- Grand Merchant!

85
00:07:11,534 --> 00:07:13,884
I have brought him.

86
00:07:13,884 --> 00:07:16,044
Have you come?

87
00:07:16,044 --> 00:07:18,494
We meet often lately.

88
00:07:19,444 --> 00:07:21,084
I heard it is an urgent matter.

89
00:07:21,084 --> 00:07:23,644
Please come inside right this way.

90
00:07:31,234 --> 00:07:33,734
- I have a question for you.
- I do not know.

91
00:07:33,734 --> 00:07:36,644
About what? About what!

92
00:07:36,644 --> 00:07:39,284
What did you think I was going to ask?

93
00:07:43,034 --> 00:07:48,184
Is there anything you found out
about the Finance Minister's wife?

94
00:07:48,184 --> 00:07:51,614
Yes, I was also quite
shocked by this information.

95
00:07:51,614 --> 00:07:53,944
What is it?

96
00:07:53,944 --> 00:07:57,714
Looks like you forgot I am a merchant.

97
00:08:02,884 --> 00:08:06,614
Things like this cannot be sold for a price.

98
00:08:06,614 --> 00:08:08,984
What is it you want?

99
00:08:08,984 --> 00:08:12,934
Will you promise that you
will grant me whatever I want?

100
00:08:12,934 --> 00:08:15,824
As long as it does not violate the laws,

101
00:08:15,824 --> 00:08:18,094
I will grant it.

102
00:08:18,674 --> 00:08:22,194
I will take that as a yes and tell you.

103
00:08:22,894 --> 00:08:27,774
The Finance Minister's wife's
mother had secretly abandoned a child

104
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:29,814
and that child is...

105
00:08:30,714 --> 00:08:33,354
Kang Pil Jik.

106
00:08:36,704 --> 00:08:38,654
Abandon a child?

107
00:08:38,654 --> 00:08:39,864
Why?

108
00:08:39,864 --> 00:08:44,404
At the time, the Finance Minister's
wife's mother was a secluding widow.

109
00:08:44,404 --> 00:08:46,804
Since a widow gave birth,

110
00:08:46,804 --> 00:08:50,894
it is not surprising even
if they killed that child.

111
00:08:53,744 --> 00:08:56,354
The two of them are siblings?

112
00:08:56,354 --> 00:09:00,474
Kang Pil Jik suddenly became the owner of
a merchandising company and his power grew.

113
00:09:00,474 --> 00:09:06,264
Around that time, Yeom Heung Jib, a
nobody, suddenly became the finance minister.

114
00:09:06,264 --> 00:09:09,054
They dealt in all kinds of shady business.

115
00:09:09,054 --> 00:09:13,284
There is no way the Finance
Minister's wife did not know anything.

116
00:09:16,544 --> 00:09:18,334
Thank you.

117
00:09:18,334 --> 00:09:20,654
That was great information.

118
00:09:21,454 --> 00:09:27,074
Why are you telling me not to
tell My Lady about these things?

119
00:09:27,694 --> 00:09:30,524
This is more dangerous than we had thought.

120
00:09:30,524 --> 00:09:33,074
It is better for her not to know.

121
00:09:34,424 --> 00:09:37,734
You are worried about My Lady again, I see.

122
00:09:39,504 --> 00:09:43,504
It is a natural decision as
the Capital Garrison's captain.

123
00:09:48,204 --> 00:09:52,854
Now, then, let me tell you what I want.

124
00:09:53,844 --> 00:09:58,154
I would like you to stop meeting My Lady.

125
00:10:03,134 --> 00:10:05,624
What will you do now?

126
00:10:06,204 --> 00:10:08,164
This is all your fault, Husband.

127
00:10:08,164 --> 00:10:11,304
Yeon Seon is troubled because
she was protecting me in your place.

128
00:10:11,304 --> 00:10:14,144
If anything happens to Yeon Seon,

129
00:10:14,144 --> 00:10:17,214
you will not be getting any
more offerings in the future.

130
00:10:32,944 --> 00:10:37,434
I was on the way to meet
you, Royal Secretary of Defense.

131
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:40,664
To meet me?

132
00:10:43,654 --> 00:10:45,924
She resides at my house.

133
00:10:45,924 --> 00:10:49,774
Do you happen to know her?

134
00:10:58,674 --> 00:11:01,154
I do know her.

135
00:11:09,154 --> 00:11:13,064
She said you lost your fan
while you were trying to help her

136
00:11:13,064 --> 00:11:15,564
at a time of trouble, Royal Secretary.

137
00:11:15,564 --> 00:11:20,584
So I came to express my
thanks and give you your fan back.

138
00:11:24,354 --> 00:11:27,824
Oh, this was...

139
00:11:28,464 --> 00:11:31,914
my fan, huh?

140
00:11:33,284 --> 00:11:36,854
I was wondering where I had lost it.

141
00:11:36,854 --> 00:11:40,934
I lost it trying to help that child, huh?

142
00:11:48,914 --> 00:11:51,724
Thank you. Since she is
a member of my household,

143
00:11:51,724 --> 00:11:54,894
I will not forget your mercy and help.

144
00:11:54,894 --> 00:12:00,054
Also, you do not need to worry
if Your Excellency, a man of the

145
00:12:00,054 --> 00:12:03,724
most prestigious family in this
country, will end up in unnecessary rumors

146
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:06,204
with a lowly commoner girl.

147
00:12:06,204 --> 00:12:11,204
I will make sure this
matter never happens again.

148
00:12:11,204 --> 00:12:15,924
There is no hierarchical law
about a person helping another and

149
00:12:15,924 --> 00:12:19,044
a person caring for another.

150
00:12:19,044 --> 00:12:23,364
If something dangerous
were to happen to that child,

151
00:12:23,364 --> 00:12:26,174
I will willingly help her again.

152
00:12:27,194 --> 00:12:33,804
Anyhow, I am sorry you had to bring me my
fan yourself, Honorable Lady Jeonggyeong.

153
00:12:33,804 --> 00:12:35,914
It is my pleasure.

154
00:12:35,914 --> 00:12:39,154
Well, then. We will be on our way now.

155
00:12:39,154 --> 00:12:41,174
Please get home safely.

156
00:12:42,044 --> 00:12:43,864
Let us go.

157
00:13:07,584 --> 00:13:09,454
Yeon Seon!

158
00:13:13,444 --> 00:13:14,664
You said Royal Secretary of Defense?

159
00:13:14,664 --> 00:13:16,674
I have been wondering
since our time in the mountains.

160
00:13:16,674 --> 00:13:18,994
How do you know him?

161
00:13:19,594 --> 00:13:21,854
Is that what matters right now?

162
00:13:21,854 --> 00:13:24,334
What are you going to do from now on?

163
00:13:24,334 --> 00:13:28,234
We somehow made it through today,
but if you get caught by Madam next time,

164
00:13:28,234 --> 00:13:31,084
you and I are both dead, My Lady.

165
00:13:31,084 --> 00:13:33,594
Do not worry.

166
00:13:33,594 --> 00:13:37,824
No matter what happens, I
will not leave you to die.

167
00:13:37,824 --> 00:13:42,714
W-Why are you getting so serious now?

168
00:13:43,584 --> 00:13:46,284
Well, let me be serious, too.

169
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:49,434
- I will die with you if you die.
- Do not say such stuff now!

170
00:13:49,434 --> 00:13:50,834
Who are you saying will die?

171
00:13:50,834 --> 00:13:54,434
I will never die, never.

172
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:56,884
My Lady.

173
00:13:56,884 --> 00:14:01,504
So, Sir Royal Secretary went
along and said that fan belongs to him?

174
00:14:01,504 --> 00:14:03,544
Why would he?

175
00:14:05,524 --> 00:14:08,784
Y-You need to go to the shrine.

176
00:14:16,274 --> 00:14:18,524
What did you say just now?

177
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:21,204
Park Su Ho is what?

178
00:14:21,204 --> 00:14:26,324
They barely brought him back to life when he
was brought to the Grand Chancellor's house injured.

179
00:14:26,324 --> 00:14:28,914
But that was about...

180
00:14:28,914 --> 00:14:33,234
- 15 years ago.
- Exactly when, 15 years ago?

181
00:14:33,234 --> 00:14:34,964
It was exactly when...

182
00:14:35,534 --> 00:14:38,884
the late king had passed away.

183
00:14:38,884 --> 00:14:40,484
What?

184
00:14:40,484 --> 00:14:43,234
He could not be the
child from back then. Right?

185
00:14:43,234 --> 00:14:44,994
There is no way.

186
00:14:44,994 --> 00:14:48,494
There is no way Im Kang's son is alive.

187
00:14:54,024 --> 00:14:56,314
<i>We found it.</i>

188
00:14:56,314 --> 00:14:58,074
<i>[Life]</i>

189
00:15:04,694 --> 00:15:06,474
<i>Let us go.</i>

190
00:15:15,874 --> 00:15:18,314
What shall we do now?

191
00:15:18,994 --> 00:15:22,964
Park Su Ho clearly does
not seem to recognize us.

192
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:27,704
He cannot act so naturally
after seeing his parents' killers.

193
00:15:27,704 --> 00:15:29,604
Firstly,

194
00:15:30,294 --> 00:15:34,154
we must confirm it to make sure.

195
00:15:48,474 --> 00:15:52,314
<i>I would like you to stop meeting My Lady.</i>

196
00:15:52,314 --> 00:15:55,924
<i>I will make sure My Lady does
not get involved with dangerous matters.</i>

197
00:15:55,924 --> 00:16:00,274
<i>So please consider
you do not know My Lady, Sir.</i>

198
00:16:00,274 --> 00:16:03,924
<i>I already know her, so how
can I act like I do not know her?</i>

199
00:16:03,924 --> 00:16:07,484
<i>Ordering her to stay inside
the walls because it is dangerous...</i>

200
00:16:07,484 --> 00:16:11,624
<i>Do you really not know
what kind of pain it is for My Lady?</i>

201
00:16:11,624 --> 00:16:14,534
<i>Do you wish her to
slowly wither away inside the walls?</i>

202
00:16:14,534 --> 00:16:16,734
<i>Or are you...</i>

203
00:16:16,734 --> 00:16:22,194
<i>going to take her out of the
walls so she can live outside forever?</i>

204
00:16:23,034 --> 00:16:27,374
<i>You cannot do anything for My Lady, Sir.</i>

205
00:16:30,224 --> 00:16:35,074
What should I do?

206
00:16:46,374 --> 00:16:48,584
Yeon Seon!

207
00:16:48,584 --> 00:16:51,334
Where in the world did she go? Yeon Seon!

208
00:16:51,334 --> 00:16:53,014
- What are you doing here?
- My goodness.

209
00:16:53,014 --> 00:16:55,144
Goodness.

210
00:16:55,924 --> 00:16:58,484
I was on the way to the women's
quarters to say something to Mother.

211
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:02,704
Madam went outside early in
the morning with Lady Jae Yi.

212
00:17:02,704 --> 00:17:04,554
Really?

213
00:17:04,554 --> 00:17:07,824
By the way, what are you doing
here instead of following Mother?

214
00:17:07,824 --> 00:17:10,664
What about Yeon Seon? Have you seen her?

215
00:17:11,994 --> 00:17:15,554
Madam told me, from now on,

216
00:17:15,554 --> 00:17:21,134
to stick by your side
firmly instead of Yeon Seon.

217
00:17:21,134 --> 00:17:23,274
What?

218
00:17:23,924 --> 00:17:25,164
What is it?

219
00:17:25,164 --> 00:17:26,744
Is Madam inside?

220
00:17:26,744 --> 00:17:28,214
She went outside.

221
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,714
The Finance Minister's
wife has sent a message.

222
00:17:30,714 --> 00:17:33,014
Honorable Lady Jeonggyeong did?

223
00:17:33,014 --> 00:17:36,684
She would like to meet you
right now. What shall we do?

224
00:17:36,684 --> 00:17:41,334
What else can I do but go meet
her when she is waiting for me?

225
00:17:41,334 --> 00:17:42,904
Wait for me. I will get ready right away.

226
00:17:42,904 --> 00:17:46,594
Wait a moment! Where are you
going without Madam's permission?

227
00:17:46,594 --> 00:17:49,594
Did you not hear just now?
Honorable Lady Jeonggyeong wants to see me-

228
00:17:49,594 --> 00:17:51,884
Even so, you need to get permission first-

229
00:17:51,884 --> 00:17:54,814
If I reject Honorable Lady
Jeonggyeong's personal invitation,

230
00:17:54,814 --> 00:17:56,984
she will get angry.

231
00:17:56,984 --> 00:17:59,814
If she gets angry, she will let
Her Highness Queen Dowager know.

232
00:17:59,814 --> 00:18:04,034
- If Her Highness Queen Dowager knows-
- I-I got it!

233
00:18:05,944 --> 00:18:09,854
You should go. I will escort you there.

234
00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:19,120
<i>[Poetry]</i>

235
00:18:28,514 --> 00:18:31,234
Mister, I am here.

236
00:18:34,464 --> 00:18:36,454
Excuse-

237
00:18:37,974 --> 00:18:40,814
W-Wait a moment!

238
00:18:42,704 --> 00:18:44,214
A-Are you running away right now?

239
00:18:44,214 --> 00:18:45,644
Please do not follow me.

240
00:18:45,644 --> 00:18:50,224
You should not act like you know
me, Sir Royal Secretary, who is a noble.

241
00:18:50,224 --> 00:18:52,344
Stop right there!

242
00:18:56,714 --> 00:18:59,844
You have to explain at least
what happened yesterday to me.

243
00:19:03,474 --> 00:19:05,044
- Tavern Lady!
- Yes?

244
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:09,224
- Give me your most expensive menu.
- Yes, sir.

245
00:19:12,044 --> 00:19:13,884
All right.

246
00:19:18,844 --> 00:19:21,614
What are you doing?

247
00:19:21,614 --> 00:19:24,214
You are quick with
calculations, so you would know.

248
00:19:24,214 --> 00:19:28,074
But this much is very
cheap for yesterday's happening.

249
00:19:28,074 --> 00:19:31,564
O-Oh, yes.

250
00:19:31,564 --> 00:19:34,124
W-Well,

251
00:19:34,124 --> 00:19:36,934
thank you for helping me.

252
00:19:36,934 --> 00:19:41,994
Also, I apologize for creating
an unnecessary misunderstanding.

253
00:19:42,704 --> 00:19:47,584
I am the one unnecessarily
misunderstanding you right now.

254
00:19:48,834 --> 00:19:52,594
Are you in love with my younger brother?

255
00:19:52,594 --> 00:19:56,504
Sorry? What on Earth are you talking about?

256
00:19:56,504 --> 00:20:00,964
If not, why did you have his fan?

257
00:20:00,964 --> 00:20:04,674
That was Sir Captain's fan?

258
00:20:07,474 --> 00:20:10,144
I bought it for him as a gift.

259
00:20:10,144 --> 00:20:13,774
However, you did not
even know who it belonged to?

260
00:20:13,774 --> 00:20:16,984
So, the thing is...

261
00:20:17,494 --> 00:20:20,244
In that case,

262
00:20:20,244 --> 00:20:23,954
the person who had my younger brother's fan...

263
00:20:24,694 --> 00:20:27,334
was not you, huh?

264
00:20:38,184 --> 00:20:40,544
The person you are covering for is probably

265
00:20:40,544 --> 00:20:44,924
the person my younger brother is covering for.

266
00:20:44,924 --> 00:20:46,594
Sorry?

267
00:20:47,144 --> 00:20:51,574
I am very curious who this person might be.

268
00:20:51,574 --> 00:20:54,644
Please do not be curious!

269
00:20:54,644 --> 00:20:55,974
Never.

270
00:20:55,974 --> 00:20:57,554
Sure.

271
00:20:59,944 --> 00:21:05,164
I told you I would look
into your brother's whereabouts.

272
00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:07,704
Did you find something?

273
00:21:07,704 --> 00:21:11,044
It appears your brother was connected

274
00:21:11,044 --> 00:21:17,574
to something secretive in the palace.

275
00:21:17,574 --> 00:21:20,714
What are you talking about?

276
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:25,584
I am sorry. I cannot go into the details.

277
00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:27,534
Please tell me a little more.

278
00:21:27,534 --> 00:21:30,954
I promise you I will not tell anyone else.

279
00:21:30,954 --> 00:21:35,024
I could not find
anything about him for 15 years.

280
00:21:35,694 --> 00:21:40,434
Whatever it may be, if it
could be a clue to find my brother,

281
00:21:40,434 --> 00:21:42,724
I must hear it.

282
00:21:49,414 --> 00:21:55,210
A long time ago, on the exact
day the late king passed away,

283
00:21:55,794 --> 00:22:03,244
a lot of scary and mysterious
things happened in the capital.

284
00:22:03,834 --> 00:22:08,654
The Chief Royal Guard's entire family was
massacred and a few palace guards disappeared.

285
00:22:08,654 --> 00:22:10,864
I heard there was...

286
00:22:10,864 --> 00:22:15,514
a man who received a secret
order from the late king among them.

287
00:22:15,514 --> 00:22:20,424
Are you saying my brother was one of them?

288
00:22:22,314 --> 00:22:25,844
Exactly what was he ordered to do that
he left without even notifying his family

289
00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:28,444
and was not heard from until now?

290
00:22:28,444 --> 00:22:31,054
Only a very few know about this,

291
00:22:31,054 --> 00:22:37,044
so it will be difficult to learn
about your brother's whereabouts outside.

292
00:22:37,044 --> 00:22:39,074
Then what should I do?

293
00:22:39,074 --> 00:22:41,384
Who knows about that?

294
00:22:41,384 --> 00:22:44,434
Is it Her Highness Queen
Dowager? Is it His Majesty?

295
00:22:44,434 --> 00:22:49,194
Those people would not even know about
the disappearance of the palace guards.

296
00:22:49,194 --> 00:22:51,614
Then who in the world...

297
00:22:52,354 --> 00:22:54,404
At the time,

298
00:22:55,014 --> 00:22:59,224
the one who organized
the chaotic situation was

299
00:22:59,224 --> 00:23:01,884
His Excellency, the Left State Minister.

300
00:23:02,944 --> 00:23:06,554
My father-in-law did?

301
00:23:07,414 --> 00:23:13,384
Father clearly said he
would look into it for me.

302
00:23:13,384 --> 00:23:16,884
Since he cherishes you more than anyone else,

303
00:23:16,884 --> 00:23:20,914
I am sure he would do his best to look.

304
00:23:20,914 --> 00:23:26,424
The only thing is, even if His
Excellency is fully aware of this matter,

305
00:23:26,424 --> 00:23:29,474
due to his duties as this
country's Left State Minister,

306
00:23:29,474 --> 00:23:37,054
would he not have a reason he cannot tell you?

307
00:23:39,024 --> 00:23:41,384
I am sure he does.

308
00:23:41,384 --> 00:23:43,884
I have bothered you too much.

309
00:23:43,884 --> 00:23:47,064
I will take my leave now.

310
00:23:48,934 --> 00:23:52,144
This much is all I am aware of...

311
00:23:52,144 --> 00:23:55,724
Not at all. You were a great help.

312
00:23:55,724 --> 00:23:57,864
Thank you so much.

313
00:24:14,254 --> 00:24:19,664
Will this be enough to make Elder care?

314
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:25,320
<i>[Hwang Bookstore]</i>

315
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:29,264
You want me to protect
the Finance Minister's wife?

316
00:24:29,264 --> 00:24:34,214
What would be the most
certain way of silencing somebody?

317
00:24:34,214 --> 00:24:39,704
I am saying the truth behind this case
cannot be gone in vain with her death.

318
00:24:39,704 --> 00:24:45,034
You are saying those
people who are trying to harm her

319
00:24:45,034 --> 00:24:47,984
are the ones behind both...

320
00:24:48,794 --> 00:24:51,844
the murder of the late king and

321
00:24:51,844 --> 00:24:54,774
what happened to my parents. Right?

322
00:24:54,774 --> 00:24:56,434
You are right.

323
00:24:56,434 --> 00:25:01,994
At least until we find the palace guard who
disappeared with the late king's jade pendant,

324
00:25:01,994 --> 00:25:05,204
you must protect the Finance Minister's wife.

325
00:25:06,004 --> 00:25:06,954
Yes.

326
00:25:06,954 --> 00:25:12,194
This is His Majesty's order, so you must
not let your guard down even for a moment.

327
00:25:12,194 --> 00:25:14,254
I understand.

328
00:25:17,464 --> 00:25:20,104
<i>There you go. I still have to make my rounds.</i>

329
00:25:20,104 --> 00:25:23,074
Are you feeling better, Mother?

330
00:25:23,074 --> 00:25:26,064
The air is nice, and I got to see some people.

331
00:25:26,064 --> 00:25:28,574
I am feeling a lot better.

332
00:25:29,324 --> 00:25:34,274
Should we get some sticky
rice cake since we are out?

333
00:25:35,174 --> 00:25:38,614
It is because you are
reminded of Brother again. Right?

334
00:25:38,614 --> 00:25:40,364
It makes me angrier the more I think about it.

335
00:25:40,364 --> 00:25:44,774
How can she put another
man's item in Brother's shrine?

336
00:25:44,774 --> 00:25:47,854
How could you let her go, Mother?

337
00:25:47,854 --> 00:25:50,764
I would like to stop talking about that.

338
00:25:52,604 --> 00:25:56,634
It is impossible to meet Captain Park Su Ho.

339
00:25:56,634 --> 00:25:59,114
What is he doing, and where?

340
00:25:59,114 --> 00:26:02,524
Is he doing a secret investigation to
earn some credit for himself?

341
00:26:02,524 --> 00:26:05,714
Gosh, he would not investigate secretly.

342
00:26:05,714 --> 00:26:07,584
He is probably...

343
00:26:07,584 --> 00:26:09,414
With his lover?

344
00:26:09,414 --> 00:26:10,704
<i>Lover?</i>

345
00:26:10,704 --> 00:26:12,304
Ever since, whenever he got drunk, he says,

346
00:26:12,304 --> 00:26:17,344
'I am also dying to find out
exactly what kind of person she is.'

347
00:26:17,344 --> 00:26:20,344
The rumors were true.
The captain found a lover.

348
00:26:20,344 --> 00:26:23,714
- Could it be Lady Yi Kyeong?
- Lady Yi Kyeong?

349
00:26:24,344 --> 00:26:26,344
No, Lady Yi Kyeong is not the one!

350
00:26:26,344 --> 00:26:27,914
I-It is someone else!

351
00:26:27,914 --> 00:26:29,574
Someone else.

352
00:26:33,354 --> 00:26:36,514
Captain Park Su Ho would...

353
00:26:38,274 --> 00:26:40,674
not be too bad.

354
00:26:56,844 --> 00:26:59,284
<i>How can I lose her?</i>

355
00:27:07,614 --> 00:27:10,344
It is really the most delicious thing!

356
00:27:10,344 --> 00:27:13,994
What did I tell you? They are delicious!

357
00:27:13,994 --> 00:27:17,374
Senior Ggot, there is
more, so please help yourself.

358
00:27:17,374 --> 00:27:20,074
- Give me five more here.
- Oh, yes.

359
00:27:20,074 --> 00:27:23,724
It is okay. This one is enough for me.

360
00:27:23,724 --> 00:27:26,154
Do you think this is just
an ordinary sticky rice cake?

361
00:27:26,154 --> 00:27:29,164
I am bribing you to get on your good side.

362
00:27:29,164 --> 00:27:34,534
Oh, can I take the five to go with me, then?

363
00:27:35,294 --> 00:27:38,084
My mother is home,

364
00:27:38,684 --> 00:27:41,574
but she is unwell.

365
00:27:44,634 --> 00:27:47,804
Give me ten more. No, give me 20 to go.

366
00:27:47,804 --> 00:27:49,824
Oh, yes, sure.

367
00:27:50,674 --> 00:27:55,094
My mother also loved the
sticky rice cake I would bring her.

368
00:27:55,094 --> 00:27:56,734
Your mother?

369
00:27:56,734 --> 00:28:00,994
She was very gorgeous and beautiful.

370
00:28:00,994 --> 00:28:04,104
When I call out to her saying, 'Mother,'

371
00:28:04,104 --> 00:28:07,314
she would always come to me brightly.

372
00:28:10,544 --> 00:28:12,324
Just like that.

373
00:28:13,094 --> 00:28:14,824
Mo-

374
00:28:16,474 --> 00:28:18,894
...ther! Mother.

375
00:28:19,424 --> 00:28:21,584
I have an urgent matter, so bye for now!

376
00:28:21,584 --> 00:28:23,644
Junior!

377
00:28:27,134 --> 00:28:29,724
T-That is-

378
00:28:51,454 --> 00:28:54,644
I do not like it, after all.

379
00:28:58,854 --> 00:29:03,624
Young Madam, you have to hurry!

380
00:29:08,934 --> 00:29:10,884
Y-Young M-Master-

381
00:29:10,884 --> 00:29:14,614
Oh, my god.

382
00:29:15,274 --> 00:29:18,164
M-My Lady, one moment.

383
00:29:18,164 --> 00:29:21,244
Please wait here a moment.

384
00:29:35,354 --> 00:29:38,414
Mother, what is the matter?

385
00:29:47,744 --> 00:29:49,854
Mother, are you okay?

386
00:29:51,754 --> 00:29:53,484
Wait, where did my-

387
00:29:53,484 --> 00:29:55,464
Bong Mal-daek!

388
00:29:56,174 --> 00:29:58,344
What are you doing here?

389
00:29:58,344 --> 00:30:02,834
O-Oh, t-the thing is...

390
00:30:02,834 --> 00:30:04,494
T-The thing is...

391
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:10,484
I came outside for a
moment, and Young Madam disappeared.

392
00:30:12,304 --> 00:30:14,554
Madam!

393
00:30:14,554 --> 00:30:17,214
What is the matter?

394
00:30:19,544 --> 00:30:21,544
Madam.

395
00:30:38,534 --> 00:30:39,714
Are you okay?

396
00:30:39,714 --> 00:30:41,834
What are you doing?

397
00:30:41,834 --> 00:30:43,424
M-My hair! My hair!

398
00:30:43,424 --> 00:30:44,604
- What is the matter?
- My hair! My hair!

399
00:30:44,604 --> 00:30:46,344
Y-Your hair? G-Goodness!

400
00:30:46,344 --> 00:30:48,384
Why are you doing this?

401
00:30:51,514 --> 00:30:53,514
Oh, sorry.

402
00:30:53,514 --> 00:30:55,554
I apologize-

403
00:31:01,504 --> 00:31:06,984
Beau-ti-ful.

404
00:31:06,984 --> 00:31:09,324
<i>Gosh, what the heck is this now?</i>

405
00:31:09,324 --> 00:31:10,924
<i>Is he ill?</i>

406
00:31:10,924 --> 00:31:13,334
Young Madam!

407
00:31:14,624 --> 00:31:16,844
It is you, Ggot Nim.

408
00:31:17,354 --> 00:31:19,084
Is Grand Merchant inside?

409
00:31:19,084 --> 00:31:21,564
Grand Merchant went out already.

410
00:31:21,564 --> 00:31:23,944
Oh, really?

411
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:31,304
There is a suspicious man here.

412
00:31:33,014 --> 00:31:37,534
He is Joo, and he started
his business a few days ago.

413
00:31:39,794 --> 00:31:43,214
The rumored 'Whose Son Could He Be?'

414
00:31:43,214 --> 00:31:44,384
I will officially introduce myself-

415
00:31:44,384 --> 00:31:47,554
Tell Grand Merchant I will come again.

416
00:31:49,914 --> 00:31:52,224
He seems gravely ill, so be careful.

417
00:31:52,224 --> 00:31:53,814
Yes!

418
00:31:57,104 --> 00:32:01,194
I would like to introduce myself officially.

419
00:32:01,194 --> 00:32:03,274
Where are you going?

420
00:32:04,044 --> 00:32:05,524
Tell me your name, at least!

421
00:32:05,524 --> 00:32:09,894
Junior, how could you dare
to ask for Young Madam's name?

422
00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:12,294
Senior Ggot, who on Earth is that lady?

423
00:32:12,294 --> 00:32:14,004
He is the Left State
Minister's daughter-in-law.

424
00:32:14,004 --> 00:32:16,894
Left State- Left-

425
00:32:18,894 --> 00:32:20,834
My wife?

426
00:32:20,834 --> 00:32:23,584
Is he really ill?

427
00:32:25,624 --> 00:32:28,274
I could not even meet Grand Merchant.

428
00:32:28,274 --> 00:32:31,164
What a crazy nutcase of a man.

429
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:05,874
Why are you out by yourself in daylight?

430
00:33:11,074 --> 00:33:13,624
Do you get into fights
dressed like that as well?

431
00:33:13,624 --> 00:33:16,484
I almost did.

432
00:33:16,484 --> 00:33:18,724
The head over here...

433
00:33:19,744 --> 00:33:22,644
What about your head?

434
00:33:22,644 --> 00:33:25,124
No, not there, but here-

435
00:33:44,284 --> 00:33:48,234
You look like you had a hair-pulling match.

436
00:33:49,494 --> 00:33:53,594
I would grab a sword, not someone's hair.

437
00:33:55,084 --> 00:33:57,544
Why did you call me here?

438
00:33:58,734 --> 00:34:01,034
How is the investigation of
the Finance Minister's case going?

439
00:34:01,034 --> 00:34:04,174
Is that why you called for me?

440
00:34:04,174 --> 00:34:07,284
I told you not to concern
yourself with that anymore.

441
00:34:07,284 --> 00:34:10,044
I tried not to, but...

442
00:34:11,394 --> 00:34:14,834
not too long ago, what the
Finance Minister's wife told me...

443
00:34:15,724 --> 00:34:19,004
- Never mind.
- What did she say?

444
00:34:20,624 --> 00:34:25,834
It just seemed like she was
intentionally trying to tell me something.

445
00:34:27,254 --> 00:34:28,654
Never mind.

446
00:34:28,654 --> 00:34:32,244
You said investigating
was your job, right, Captain?

447
00:34:32,954 --> 00:34:36,194
What are you trying to say?

448
00:34:36,884 --> 00:34:39,234
I mean, as a mere woman,

449
00:34:39,234 --> 00:34:41,804
how important could what I found out be,

450
00:34:41,804 --> 00:34:46,024
but recently, she has been seeking me
out and telling me all sorts of things,

451
00:34:46,024 --> 00:34:51,174
among which there may be
things that may be useful for you.

452
00:34:52,584 --> 00:34:58,034
I had said you should not get involved in
this dangerous matter. That did not change.

453
00:34:58,034 --> 00:35:02,204
I feel that it may be best for
you to keep some distance from her.

454
00:35:02,204 --> 00:35:06,284
Is it dangerous to be close
to the Finance Minister's wife?

455
00:35:06,284 --> 00:35:09,004
By chance, is she the culprit?

456
00:35:09,004 --> 00:35:11,594
Gosh, I mean, well...

457
00:35:11,594 --> 00:35:13,634
The thing is...

458
00:35:13,634 --> 00:35:18,034
I also cannot tell you anything
if you do not tell me in detail.

459
00:35:18,034 --> 00:35:20,664
Think about it.

460
00:35:20,664 --> 00:35:22,964
Gosh, what...

461
00:35:22,964 --> 00:35:25,734
What am I supposed to do?

462
00:35:39,394 --> 00:35:43,214
I wonder what the Left State
Minister's daughter-in-law will do.

463
00:35:43,214 --> 00:35:45,884
Why are you doing this?

464
00:35:45,884 --> 00:35:48,554
You should look for a way to live,
whether in the Qing Dynasty or elsewhere.

465
00:35:48,554 --> 00:35:51,584
So why are you making a bigger mess like this?

466
00:35:51,584 --> 00:35:54,304
If Elder gets really angry,

467
00:35:54,304 --> 00:35:56,844
do you think we will both be safe?

468
00:35:56,844 --> 00:36:00,854
Why? Are you afraid of dying?

469
00:36:02,574 --> 00:36:07,524
I found that if you want to hide one
thing, you have to hide a hundred things

470
00:36:07,524 --> 00:36:11,274
to barely hide that one thing.

471
00:36:11,274 --> 00:36:15,914
But after living a difficult
life trying to hide a hundred things,

472
00:36:15,914 --> 00:36:20,054
I do not even remember
what that one thing is...

473
00:36:20,994 --> 00:36:25,254
that I really needed to keep hiding.

474
00:36:25,254 --> 00:36:28,624
Right now is not the time
to be speaking so carefree.

475
00:36:28,624 --> 00:36:31,064
Is that one thing...

476
00:36:32,334 --> 00:36:34,434
the fact that...

477
00:36:35,574 --> 00:36:40,204
you are my mother's illegitimate son?

478
00:36:40,204 --> 00:36:47,214
Or... is it that I
killed my asshole of a husband?

479
00:36:47,214 --> 00:36:49,794
Or if it is not that,

480
00:36:50,624 --> 00:36:54,024
is it that I killed the late king?

481
00:36:55,054 --> 00:36:57,144
Have you gone mad?

482
00:36:57,144 --> 00:36:58,964
To think that...

483
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:04,734
I lived such a difficult
life just to hide those things...

484
00:37:28,304 --> 00:37:30,254
Dear Wife?

485
00:37:31,204 --> 00:37:34,584
No, no. Stay lying down.

486
00:37:35,954 --> 00:37:39,334
I heard you collapsed on the streets.

487
00:37:39,334 --> 00:37:41,764
What is the matter?

488
00:37:44,754 --> 00:37:47,234
It is nothing.

489
00:37:47,834 --> 00:37:53,934
Dear Wife, please tell me what the matter is.

490
00:37:54,764 --> 00:37:59,524
The thing is... our Jeong...

491
00:38:00,214 --> 00:38:03,474
Were you thinking of Jeong again?

492
00:38:03,474 --> 00:38:09,494
I miss... my Jeong so much.

493
00:38:09,494 --> 00:38:12,664
I do, too. I miss him.

494
00:38:12,664 --> 00:38:17,734
However, if you keep being so
sad, you will hurt your health.

495
00:38:17,734 --> 00:38:22,454
Jeong would not want his
mother to suffer like this.

496
00:38:22,454 --> 00:38:27,704
I should have just let him
marry that girl he liked back then.

497
00:38:27,704 --> 00:38:34,064
No, I should have never let
him go to the Qing Dynasty to roam.

498
00:38:34,644 --> 00:38:39,184
Had I known I would not be able to
see him again so suddenly like that...

499
00:38:39,184 --> 00:38:43,534
I would have at least fed
him his favorite taro soup

500
00:38:43,534 --> 00:38:48,374
on the last morning before he left...

501
00:38:48,374 --> 00:38:52,944
It appears your heart has grown
weaker because your body is tired.

502
00:38:52,944 --> 00:38:55,754
I will get something good for you tomorrow-

503
00:38:56,474 --> 00:38:58,874
Your Excellency,

504
00:38:58,874 --> 00:39:03,884
can you not look for our Jeong one more time?

505
00:39:03,884 --> 00:39:09,034
If we at least found his
body, I would not be this upset.

506
00:39:09,034 --> 00:39:11,344
An unexpected death on the
mountain roads? There is no way!

507
00:39:11,344 --> 00:39:14,014
An unexpected death on the
mountain roads? There is no way!

508
00:39:14,784 --> 00:39:19,974
By chance, he may somehow be alive somewhere-

509
00:39:19,974 --> 00:39:25,444
Dear Wife, you know that I
checked several times already!

510
00:39:28,434 --> 00:39:31,334
I went out to Woonjong Street today

511
00:39:31,334 --> 00:39:35,874
and saw someone who
looked just like our Jeong.

512
00:39:35,874 --> 00:39:41,434
His shoulders, his back, and
even how he walked looked like him.

513
00:39:41,434 --> 00:39:44,274
Even his face, in
passing, looked just like Jeong-

514
00:39:44,274 --> 00:39:46,044
There is no way it was our Jeong.

515
00:39:46,044 --> 00:39:48,854
Yes, I know. I know.

516
00:39:48,854 --> 00:39:51,434
How could I not know that?

517
00:39:51,434 --> 00:39:57,034
I am like this because I want to see him
again just once, even if it is as a ghost.

518
00:39:57,034 --> 00:40:00,014
Though I live being okay for a while,

519
00:40:00,014 --> 00:40:05,574
there are days I miss him so
much that I cannot even breathe.

520
00:40:30,814 --> 00:40:33,884
<i>You dare destroy our
family's honor that has built up</i>

521
00:40:33,884 --> 00:40:36,424
<i>for several centuries in just one moment?</i>

522
00:40:36,424 --> 00:40:38,754
<i>No matter what you say, Father,</i>

523
00:40:38,754 --> 00:40:40,494
<i>I will marry that woman.</i>

524
00:40:40,494 --> 00:40:43,224
<i>Over my dead body,</i>

525
00:40:43,224 --> 00:40:46,984
<i>I will never let a woman with
blue eyes be my eldest daughter-in-law.</i>

526
00:40:46,984 --> 00:40:49,594
<i>She will not be your
daughter-in-law but my wife.</i>

527
00:40:49,594 --> 00:40:53,084
<i>She will live with me, so do not get involved.</i>

528
00:40:53,084 --> 00:40:54,814
<i>If that is really your will,</i>

529
00:40:54,814 --> 00:40:58,004
<i>leave this house
immediately and never come back.</i>

530
00:40:58,004 --> 00:41:03,194
<i>I will never come back of my
own accord, so you do not have to worry.</i>

531
00:41:05,344 --> 00:41:07,234
<i>Do as you will.</i>

532
00:41:07,234 --> 00:41:14,354
<i>However, I cannot ruin our
entire family just because of you.</i>

533
00:41:14,354 --> 00:41:16,744
<i>Since you are now a dead son to me,</i>

534
00:41:16,744 --> 00:41:22,164
<i>I will personally kill
you if you were to ever come back.</i>

535
00:41:23,084 --> 00:41:28,144
<i>Father, you are more
than capable of doing that.</i>

536
00:41:38,724 --> 00:41:40,644
Mother...

537
00:41:42,324 --> 00:41:44,924
Goodness. Goodness!

538
00:42:04,424 --> 00:42:07,294
How is Mother?

539
00:42:07,294 --> 00:42:12,244
What words could comfort a
mother who misses her child?

540
00:42:12,244 --> 00:42:14,494
I am sorry.

541
00:42:19,514 --> 00:42:23,994
I heard you are close with the
Finance Minister's wife these days.

542
00:42:24,734 --> 00:42:30,134
Yes. She calls for me sometimes,
and I spend some time chatting with her.

543
00:42:30,134 --> 00:42:32,174
That is commendable.

544
00:42:32,854 --> 00:42:34,844
However,

545
00:42:35,924 --> 00:42:40,994
I think it is best you do not meet
with the Finance Minister's wife often.

546
00:42:42,654 --> 00:42:47,604
I heard the people call the Finance
Minister's wife a living 'Good Conduct for Women'.

547
00:42:47,604 --> 00:42:51,984
If a person like that is found to
be personally chatting with someone

548
00:42:51,984 --> 00:42:54,214
despite losing her husband,

549
00:42:54,214 --> 00:42:56,674
no good can come of that.

550
00:42:56,674 --> 00:43:00,434
Not only that, you have
not even gone tomb-watching.

551
00:43:00,434 --> 00:43:03,674
I am worried you may
become the center of gossip.

552
00:43:03,674 --> 00:43:08,154
Yes, Father. I did not think this through.

553
00:43:08,154 --> 00:43:11,014
Okay. Head inside.

554
00:43:11,014 --> 00:43:13,314
Well, Father.

555
00:43:16,024 --> 00:43:18,574
Do you have something you want to say?

556
00:43:18,574 --> 00:43:24,034
I am sorry, but I am curious whether
you have heard anything about my brother.

557
00:43:24,034 --> 00:43:25,804
I am sorry.

558
00:43:25,804 --> 00:43:30,734
I looked into it on all
fronts, but I have not found anything.

559
00:43:30,734 --> 00:43:36,434
Perhaps something happened to the
Royal Guards in the palace that day.

560
00:43:36,434 --> 00:43:38,864
What do you mean by that?

561
00:43:38,864 --> 00:43:41,284
Is there something you have heard?

562
00:43:41,284 --> 00:43:44,884
No. Since there was no news of him at home,

563
00:43:44,884 --> 00:43:48,734
I was wondering if maybe
something happened at the palace.

564
00:43:48,734 --> 00:43:54,174
Did I not say that I looked in depth at
your brother's disappearance in the palace?

565
00:43:54,174 --> 00:43:56,814
- Yes.
- He finished his work as usual

566
00:43:56,814 --> 00:44:00,784
and never heard from him
after leaving the palace.

567
00:44:00,784 --> 00:44:04,894
You told me this in the
year I married into this family.

568
00:44:04,894 --> 00:44:08,314
But now that I think
about it after some years,

569
00:44:08,314 --> 00:44:13,684
I wondered if my brother was
just an ordinary royal guard.

570
00:44:16,254 --> 00:44:18,804
A royal guard is a royal guard.

571
00:44:18,804 --> 00:44:21,884
What kind of strange thing are you saying?

572
00:44:21,884 --> 00:44:24,564
He often went to the palace
even when it was not his shift.

573
00:44:24,564 --> 00:44:27,684
Also, he would be called in
the middle of the night and-

574
00:44:27,684 --> 00:44:30,574
You probably did not
understand it well since you were young.

575
00:44:30,574 --> 00:44:34,734
Your brother was just an ordinary royal guard.

576
00:44:38,264 --> 00:44:41,034
Do you have anything else to say?

577
00:44:41,534 --> 00:44:43,194
I am sorry.

578
00:44:43,194 --> 00:44:46,824
I guess I was wondering about useless things.

579
00:44:46,824 --> 00:44:49,144
It is late. You should head inside.

580
00:44:49,144 --> 00:44:51,284
Yes, Father.

581
00:45:03,464 --> 00:45:08,694
I wonder why things started
popping up regarding my brother.

582
00:45:11,084 --> 00:45:13,184
One thing is for sure.

583
00:45:13,184 --> 00:45:17,824
My brother's disappearance is
tied to something very important.

584
00:45:17,824 --> 00:45:21,344
What if the one who
sent this note is dangerous?

585
00:45:21,344 --> 00:45:27,294
He probably does not know how dangerous
the Left State Minister's daughter-in-law is.

586
00:45:29,474 --> 00:45:33,514
You are not going to
tell the captain about it?

587
00:45:33,514 --> 00:45:35,874
<i>Gosh, what...</i>

588
00:45:35,874 --> 00:45:38,554
<i>What am I supposed to do?</i>

589
00:45:39,954 --> 00:45:42,554
I told him to think about it,

590
00:45:42,554 --> 00:45:45,074
so he will give me his answer soon.

591
00:45:45,624 --> 00:45:48,534
I need to meet with the Grand Merchant.

592
00:46:22,174 --> 00:46:25,444
<i>If you had given us the note and the pendant,</i>

593
00:46:25,444 --> 00:46:29,954
<i>your sister's life
would not have been so messed up.</i>

594
00:46:29,954 --> 00:46:32,384
<i>Close your eyes in peace.</i>

595
00:46:32,384 --> 00:46:36,354
<i>I will take good care of your sister.</i>

596
00:47:12,444 --> 00:47:15,134
<i>You are not even on duty today.</i>

597
00:47:15,134 --> 00:47:16,694
<i>There is an urgent
matter, so I am going to the palace.</i>

598
00:47:16,694 --> 00:47:19,324
<i>I will not be able
to come home for a few days.</i>

599
00:47:46,884 --> 00:47:51,004
<i>What is Father doing out at such a late hour?</i>

600
00:48:14,904 --> 00:48:16,884
<i>Who is that?</i>

601
00:48:22,124 --> 00:48:25,694
I get to meet Your Excellency in a
pavilion with such a great ambiance,

602
00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:30,804
so it is a shame that I
cannot offer you some tea.

603
00:48:30,804 --> 00:48:34,664
I knew you were quite a daring person,

604
00:48:34,664 --> 00:48:39,644
but how could a woman who lost her
husband come out wearing such colors?

605
00:48:40,974 --> 00:48:45,354
I was tired of only wearing mourning clothes.

606
00:48:45,354 --> 00:48:52,294
I seem to remember you liked
the fact that I was so daring.

607
00:48:52,294 --> 00:48:55,694
I told you nicely to leave quietly.

608
00:48:55,694 --> 00:48:59,944
Did you decide to stay and
make things more complicated?

609
00:48:59,944 --> 00:49:06,474
All I did was tell your daughter-in-law a
few concerns about her brother.

610
00:49:06,474 --> 00:49:11,004
It appears that made
things quite complicated for you.

611
00:49:15,214 --> 00:49:17,014
<i>Gosh.</i>

612
00:49:17,494 --> 00:49:20,014
<i>What are they saying?</i>

613
00:49:20,014 --> 00:49:23,904
You are not thinking you will remain safe?

614
00:49:25,764 --> 00:49:28,374
If I cannot be safe,

615
00:49:28,984 --> 00:49:31,874
then I can just die.

616
00:49:31,874 --> 00:49:34,934
However, after considering it deeply,

617
00:49:34,934 --> 00:49:39,344
what I accomplished 15
years ago was nothing small,

618
00:49:39,344 --> 00:49:43,484
so I feel it is a bit unfair to die by myself.

619
00:49:43,484 --> 00:49:47,864
Did you forget you lived as the Finance
Minister's wife because of that single achievement?

620
00:49:47,864 --> 00:49:51,154
You obtained everything
because of it, Your Excellency,

621
00:49:51,154 --> 00:49:54,404
but I merely became the
Finance Minister's wife.

622
00:49:56,774 --> 00:49:59,394
No matter how much I think about it,

623
00:49:59,394 --> 00:50:03,854
the calculations do not add up.

624
00:50:03,854 --> 00:50:08,394
As the saying goes, a mere
mantis tries to stop a chariot.

625
00:50:08,394 --> 00:50:10,314
Someone like you dares to stop me?

626
00:50:10,314 --> 00:50:14,044
How could someone like me dare to stop you?

627
00:50:14,044 --> 00:50:22,794
All I am saying is that I
will not let things end so vainly.

628
00:50:33,574 --> 00:50:37,304
<i>What? The Finance Minister's Wife?</i>

629
00:50:38,424 --> 00:50:42,214
Your daughter-in-law is quite intelligent.

630
00:50:45,454 --> 00:50:49,694
<i>If I am able to do what I do in my house</i>

631
00:50:49,694 --> 00:50:53,524
and live without problems, your
intelligent daughter-in-law and her brother...

632
00:50:53,524 --> 00:50:55,084
<i>Why is Madam here?</i>

633
00:50:55,084 --> 00:50:59,064
will no longer cause any problems, no?

634
00:51:01,754 --> 00:51:05,684
To think that you thought to
blackmail me with something like that...

635
00:51:07,064 --> 00:51:10,104
You have become quite vulgar.

638
00:53:22,504 --> 00:53:24,464
Sir!

639
00:53:24,464 --> 00:53:27,004
Damn it! Let us go!

640
00:53:27,004 --> 00:53:28,904
Sir! Sir!

641
00:53:28,904 --> 00:53:30,414
Wake up, Sir!

642
00:53:30,414 --> 00:53:32,194
Sir!

643
00:53:32,194 --> 00:53:33,824
Sir!

644
00:53:33,824 --> 00:53:37,354
Wake up, Sir!

645
00:54:03,064 --> 00:54:04,934
How are you feeling?

646
00:54:04,934 --> 00:54:06,884
Are you okay?

647
00:54:06,884 --> 00:54:09,164
What happened?

648
00:54:09,774 --> 00:54:12,154
You passed out.

649
00:54:16,504 --> 00:54:20,164
I almost died bringing you here.

650
00:54:20,164 --> 00:54:24,384
I told you there will come a
day when you will be indebted to me.

651
00:54:24,384 --> 00:54:29,234
You talked all that when
you could not even handle that?

652
00:54:29,904 --> 00:54:33,894
Thank you for saving me.

653
00:54:35,144 --> 00:54:39,284
You also saved me before, Sir.

654
00:54:39,944 --> 00:54:44,544
But do you know where they came from?

655
00:54:52,834 --> 00:54:58,234
They were trying to check the scar on
my back, so they most definitely knew me.

656
00:55:02,434 --> 00:55:05,814
Since I have your secret as your weakness,

657
00:55:05,814 --> 00:55:10,824
I will tell you a secret of
mine as repayment for saving me.

658
00:55:10,824 --> 00:55:13,064
No.

659
00:55:14,034 --> 00:55:18,834
Keeping my own secret is tough
enough. Why learn someone else's secret?

660
00:55:19,674 --> 00:55:21,734
Is that so?

661
00:55:25,764 --> 00:55:28,254
If you so want,

662
00:55:28,254 --> 00:55:32,934
you can think of me as a wall
and talk to yourself about it.

663
00:55:37,334 --> 00:55:42,334
I often sit alone in the shrine
and talk to myself, facing the wall.

664
00:55:42,334 --> 00:55:45,364
It is actually quite relieving.

665
00:55:52,274 --> 00:55:54,144
I am...

666
00:55:54,804 --> 00:55:58,164
someone who should not be alive.

667
00:56:00,094 --> 00:56:06,404
My kind mother, father, and nanny...

668
00:56:08,444 --> 00:56:11,154
My family, who loved me...

669
00:56:11,764 --> 00:56:14,814
were all slaughtered in front of me.

670
00:56:16,674 --> 00:56:19,534
Just like that, 15 years ago,

671
00:56:19,534 --> 00:56:22,414
one day without warning,

672
00:56:23,654 --> 00:56:26,144
I alone survived...

673
00:56:26,804 --> 00:56:29,504
in that bloody mess.

674
00:56:31,064 --> 00:56:33,904
Not only did I survive,

675
00:56:33,904 --> 00:56:36,994
but the horrible memories of that day...

676
00:56:38,194 --> 00:56:40,604
are not clear.

677
00:56:41,834 --> 00:56:44,244
A sinner for being alive...

678
00:56:44,844 --> 00:56:47,854
Is that not what you call people like me?

679
00:56:47,854 --> 00:56:51,094
<i>Since I am a sinner just for being alive,</i>

680
00:56:51,094 --> 00:56:55,954
<i>I am doing whatever I can to live on.</i>

681
00:56:55,954 --> 00:56:58,704
- Those words were-
- So,

682
00:56:59,344 --> 00:57:01,994
do not worry too much.

683
00:57:02,784 --> 00:57:06,064
I am not such an honorable man...

684
00:57:06,724 --> 00:57:09,954
that I can hold your secret over your head.

685
00:57:10,884 --> 00:57:13,274
I will be leaving now.

686
00:57:23,534 --> 00:57:27,264
Thank you... for today.

Goodness, you are not
feeling well. Stay in bed.

707

much that you got this ill?

Lovesickness is like that.

712

It must have been so rough.

713
00:59:18,284 --> 00:59:21,064
It is rough, I know.

Forgive my discourtesy.

You are Cho Yeo Hwa,
the sister of Cho Seong Hoo

who was a Royal Guard 15 years
ago, and the eldest daughter-in-law of

the Left State Minister. Right?

737
01:01:20,144 --> 01:01:26,864
Can you promise not to
tell anyone about this meeting?

738
01:01:30,624 --> 01:01:38,244
Madam, this is a very important matter
pertaining to your brother's life and death.

739
01:01:39,834 --> 01:01:42,884
Can you promise me?

740
01:01:49,094 --> 01:01:52,124
If you cannot promise me,

741
01:01:52,124 --> 01:01:56,064
I cannot tell you anything more.

742
01:02:09,824 --> 01:02:11,774

743
01:02:14,814 --> 01:02:16,924

I am... here to talk
with Cho Seong Hoo's sister.

What is it that you want to ask her?

747

Is it all right for me to
say it in front of this person?

I cannot tell you that.

751
01:02:44,504 --> 01:02:48,044
I want to know if he left
anything behind with his family

752
01:02:48,044 --> 01:02:50,424
or heard any news after he disappeared.

753
01:02:50,424 --> 01:02:55,414
By chance, do you know
why Cho Seong Hoo disappeared?

754
01:02:55,414 --> 01:02:59,464
Do you know... that reason?

755
