00:00:42,218 --> 00:00:46,180
BLOODY HEART

2
00:00:46,264 --> 00:00:49,183
THE PEOPLE, GROUPS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE PURELY FICTIONAL

3
00:00:51,728 --> 00:00:52,895
Are you saying…

4
00:00:55,815 --> 00:00:57,734
you would rather be my enemy?

5
00:01:00,903 --> 00:01:02,905
When you of all people

6
00:01:04,449 --> 00:01:06,576
are aware of how my life has been?

7
00:01:09,245 --> 00:01:11,247
When I am finally close to strengthening

8
00:01:12,623 --> 00:01:13,875
the royal authority--

9
00:01:13,958 --> 00:01:15,793
There will be no end to it.

10
00:01:18,504 --> 00:01:20,006
That is why I chose this path.

11
00:01:20,631 --> 00:01:21,674
No.

12
00:01:23,301 --> 00:01:25,094
No, you are to stop.

13
00:01:26,512 --> 00:01:27,889
You must stop.

14
00:01:31,184 --> 00:01:32,769
If you choose to stand against me,

15
00:01:35,938 --> 00:01:36,981
I will…

16
00:01:42,111 --> 00:01:44,030
have to eliminate you.

17
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,375
I wanted power desperately

18
00:01:57,210 --> 00:01:58,920
only to protect you.

19
00:02:00,546 --> 00:02:05,760
I did not want to lose my wife in vain
just as my late father did.

20
00:02:07,136 --> 00:02:08,221
I shall

21
00:02:09,305 --> 00:02:13,309
continue on my path.
It is the only way to protect you.

22
00:02:20,274 --> 00:02:22,068
Please do so, Your Majesty.

23
00:02:23,569 --> 00:02:25,029
Go down your own path.

24
00:02:26,405 --> 00:02:27,448
However,

25
00:02:29,325 --> 00:02:32,620
take that journey for yourself,
and not for my sake.

26
00:02:35,414 --> 00:02:36,624
I will

27
00:02:38,292 --> 00:02:40,503
protect myself.

28
00:02:43,005 --> 00:02:44,715
I will protect myself…

29
00:02:47,135 --> 00:02:48,511
with everything I have.

30
00:03:14,328 --> 00:03:16,873
BLOODY HEART
FINAL EPISODE

31
00:03:22,211 --> 00:03:23,713
What do you mean?

32
00:03:23,796 --> 00:03:26,215
The consort is Yoo Haksoo's daughter,
the deposed crown princess?

33
00:03:26,299 --> 00:03:27,508
That is correct.

34
00:03:28,593 --> 00:03:30,344
What will happen to Councilor Park

35
00:03:30,428 --> 00:03:31,554
if that is true?

36
00:03:32,430 --> 00:03:34,557
His crime is too dire.

37
00:03:47,028 --> 00:03:49,780
Why did you make such a foolish choice?

38
00:03:52,116 --> 00:03:54,452
If I didn't shake around
His Majesty's design,

39
00:03:54,535 --> 00:03:56,537
all members of Sarim and the Royal Court

40
00:03:56,621 --> 00:03:58,998
would have been pushed around by him.

41
00:03:59,081 --> 00:04:01,292
I do not know
what your deal with the consort was,

42
00:04:02,251 --> 00:04:03,461
but you'll regret this.

43
00:04:03,544 --> 00:04:08,216
I think through every choice I make
so that I do not regret anything.

44
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,897
Respectfully escort him
to the State Tribunal.

45
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:24,148
-Yes, my lord.
-Yes, my lord.

46
00:05:02,478 --> 00:05:04,772
What did I want to do with power?

47
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:07,733
Nothing.

48
00:05:10,861 --> 00:05:12,530
I only hoped to protect.

49
00:05:15,116 --> 00:05:18,661
The one thing that made
the ones I missed return and visit

50
00:05:20,663 --> 00:05:21,664
was power.

51
00:05:29,088 --> 00:05:30,256
Let us go.

52
00:05:49,525 --> 00:05:52,320
Your Highness. And also Mother.

53
00:05:52,403 --> 00:05:54,363
How could you do something this serious?

54
00:05:55,698 --> 00:05:56,741
I have no excuses.

55
00:05:58,159 --> 00:06:00,286
You shouldn't dare to rebuke the consort.

56
00:06:00,870 --> 00:06:03,247
This is something your father and I did.

57
00:06:03,331 --> 00:06:04,165
Mother.

58
00:06:06,083 --> 00:06:07,877
My lord has kept his promise.

59
00:06:08,461 --> 00:06:09,670
It's now your turn.

60
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,007
You must keep your promise
to keep our family

61
00:06:13,507 --> 00:06:15,092
and Councilor Park safe.

62
00:06:16,886 --> 00:06:18,471
I shall do that.

63
00:06:19,138 --> 00:06:20,598
I will trust your words.

64
00:06:48,209 --> 00:06:49,877
The consort was the former crown princess?

65
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,128
What does that mean?

66
00:06:51,212 --> 00:06:52,755
You must calm down, Lady Cho.

67
00:06:52,838 --> 00:06:55,049
She had committed such a grave crime.

68
00:06:55,383 --> 00:06:57,343
Why won't you discuss her punishment?

69
00:06:57,426 --> 00:06:58,886
Didn't I tell you?

70
00:06:59,470 --> 00:07:01,347
Even His Majesty turned a blind eye to it.

71
00:07:01,430 --> 00:07:02,348
Father.

72
00:07:02,431 --> 00:07:04,308
We cannot bring down the consort.

73
00:07:04,392 --> 00:07:06,268
But Councilor Park is over.

74
00:07:09,146 --> 00:07:10,272
Stay low.

75
00:07:10,856 --> 00:07:13,609
You are to be the queen,
but you have not been installed yet.

76
00:07:13,692 --> 00:07:15,236
And His Majesty is

77
00:07:15,694 --> 00:07:18,072
capable of deposing you
even after you become one.

78
00:07:20,408 --> 00:07:21,450
Aren't you happy?

79
00:07:22,535 --> 00:07:23,828
I'm scared.

80
00:07:24,495 --> 00:07:28,582
Father and Brother.
Do you wish for me to become queen?

81
00:07:35,339 --> 00:07:36,882
You can only survive in the palace

82
00:07:37,466 --> 00:07:39,260
only if you have
His Majesty's favor or power.

83
00:07:40,302 --> 00:07:43,389
What I'm the most afraid of
is that you might end up

84
00:07:45,141 --> 00:07:46,767
growing old all alone.

85
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,502
The consort is afraid
I'll take the path of the deposed king

86
00:08:14,295 --> 00:08:15,588
and his queen.

87
00:08:16,547 --> 00:08:17,423
Do you

88
00:08:18,215 --> 00:08:20,092
also believe I'll walk down that path?

89
00:08:20,676 --> 00:08:22,303
No matter which path you take,

90
00:08:22,887 --> 00:08:24,972
the path you choose is the right one.

91
00:08:26,515 --> 00:08:27,558
You are

92
00:08:29,185 --> 00:08:31,061
always stronger than me.

93
00:08:31,645 --> 00:08:34,648
I am nothing but a lowly man.

94
00:08:36,609 --> 00:08:39,028
This lowly servant was
taken in and taught to be useful,

95
00:08:40,237 --> 00:08:43,574
then I was freed from my servanthood
and acknowledged

96
00:08:43,657 --> 00:08:44,825
only by the late King.

97
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,495
And the late King said

98
00:08:48,162 --> 00:08:50,873
I was the only one he could trust.

99
00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:55,169
He asked me to look after you.

100
00:08:57,421 --> 00:08:59,507
I have seen the humiliation
of the late King,

101
00:08:59,590 --> 00:09:02,384
and I saw
the devastating death of his queen.

102
00:09:04,345 --> 00:09:07,264
I cannot let you go in misery too.

103
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:11,185
Please do not waver.

104
00:09:16,649 --> 00:09:18,192
Call in the Three Offices.

105
00:09:18,275 --> 00:09:21,862
The least I can do… is warn her.

106
00:09:23,531 --> 00:09:25,491
My father is Scholar Yoo Haksoo,

107
00:09:25,574 --> 00:09:27,660
and I am his daughter.

108
00:09:28,536 --> 00:09:31,080
My father and I have
our foundation in the Sarim.

109
00:09:31,789 --> 00:09:35,167
I am one with all of you.

110
00:09:36,418 --> 00:09:39,797
Therefore, please join me.

111
00:09:40,381 --> 00:09:41,924
We shall do that.

112
00:09:42,007 --> 00:09:44,051
We were unfairly framed
and banished to the wild,

113
00:09:44,426 --> 00:09:47,471
unable to even breathe at ease
as criminals.

114
00:09:47,555 --> 00:09:49,848
Yes, you were chased down as a traitor,

115
00:09:49,932 --> 00:09:51,892
then you came to this place all alone.

116
00:09:52,476 --> 00:09:54,436
We will do everything in our power

117
00:09:54,770 --> 00:09:56,689
to make you the queen
and your son, the prince.

118
00:09:57,398 --> 00:09:58,607
Thank you.

119
00:09:58,691 --> 00:10:00,734
-Thank you for your grace.
-Thank you for your grace.

120
00:10:00,818 --> 00:10:02,653
-Consort Yoo.
-Consort Yoo.

121
00:10:02,736 --> 00:10:06,991
For this issue, please join forces
with the meritorious subjects.

122
00:10:08,242 --> 00:10:10,452
I promised Councilor Park
that I will reduce his sentence

123
00:10:10,953 --> 00:10:14,540
in return
for taking my true identity back.

124
00:10:20,254 --> 00:10:21,171
Your Majesty.

125
00:10:21,255 --> 00:10:24,758
The consort's social status
shakes the foundation of this nation.

126
00:10:24,842 --> 00:10:26,176
We cannot condone this.

127
00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:28,596
Councilor Park confessed everything
as his fault.

128
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,431
Why do you blame the consort?

129
00:10:30,514 --> 00:10:34,268
So should we not hold her responsible
for deceiving her superiors?

130
00:10:34,351 --> 00:10:36,562
His Majesty condoned this
and took a part in this.

131
00:10:37,229 --> 00:10:40,149
If you wish to hold her responsible,
hold His Majesty responsible first.

132
00:10:40,232 --> 00:10:42,151
Then first, we must hold
the late King responsible

133
00:10:42,234 --> 00:10:43,485
for letting the consort live.

134
00:10:43,569 --> 00:10:45,362
And punishing the late King?

135
00:10:45,446 --> 00:10:46,822
That is unprecedented!

136
00:10:54,371 --> 00:10:55,581
What should I do?

137
00:10:56,165 --> 00:10:57,750
Should I punish myself?

138
00:10:58,876 --> 00:11:01,378
Or should I punish
the former King, my father?

139
00:11:01,837 --> 00:11:04,798
Your Majesty, please do not say that.

140
00:11:04,882 --> 00:11:08,761
We cannot discuss this issue anymore.

141
00:11:10,929 --> 00:11:13,307
But how astounding is this?

142
00:11:14,308 --> 00:11:17,186
The subjects and the Sarim are enemies,
yet you two stand together.

143
00:11:20,439 --> 00:11:23,150
Councilor Park Gyewon is
the one who caused everything.

144
00:11:24,068 --> 00:11:25,694
He'll be held responsible.

145
00:11:37,373 --> 00:11:39,416
Father. It is I, your son.

146
00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:41,168
Come in.

147
00:12:41,562 --> 00:12:44,148
Your Highness!

148
00:12:44,231 --> 00:12:46,608
Please spare my life, Your Highness.

149
00:12:47,359 --> 00:12:49,361
-No!
-Your Highness.

150
00:12:49,445 --> 00:12:52,406
I received His Majesty's order to take Han
and have her interrogated.

151
00:12:52,990 --> 00:12:53,824
Take her away.

152
00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:55,951
Your Highness.

153
00:12:56,034 --> 00:12:58,203
Your Highness.

154
00:12:59,121 --> 00:13:02,291
The King must be trying to annihilate
everyone who's on my side.

155
00:13:02,374 --> 00:13:03,292
Your Highness!

156
00:13:14,511 --> 00:13:16,305
I will meet the King myself

157
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:20,642
and speak with him in person.

158
00:13:32,988 --> 00:13:35,991
THE KING'S QUARTERS

159
00:13:38,827 --> 00:13:40,537
I beg you, Your Majesty.

160
00:13:41,246 --> 00:13:44,917
Please forgive your mother's sins.

161
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:00,182
Mother.

162
00:14:00,891 --> 00:14:02,434
Why are you doing this?

163
00:14:03,352 --> 00:14:06,605
If I dishonored you in any way,
please just lash me!

164
00:14:06,688 --> 00:14:08,273
I heard the royal office

165
00:14:08,357 --> 00:14:10,734
has been chaotic every single day
because of me.

166
00:14:10,818 --> 00:14:13,028
I wish to grovel and plead for your mercy.

167
00:14:13,946 --> 00:14:15,823
Your Majesty, you must abandon me

168
00:14:15,906 --> 00:14:17,366
and show your majesty.

169
00:14:20,869 --> 00:14:22,329
That's enough.

170
00:14:25,499 --> 00:14:27,209
You are most unsightly.

171
00:14:38,971 --> 00:14:41,640
Will your subjects kill me

172
00:14:42,808 --> 00:14:44,142
to save themselves?

173
00:14:44,768 --> 00:14:45,978
Or…

174
00:14:46,061 --> 00:14:47,145
will they begin a coup

175
00:14:47,229 --> 00:14:49,565
and dethrone an undutiful son like you?

176
00:14:52,317 --> 00:14:53,652
No matter which side it is,

177
00:14:55,404 --> 00:14:57,698
there won't be any justification.

178
00:15:01,577 --> 00:15:03,120
But if I hurt myself,

179
00:15:04,746 --> 00:15:07,666
their rebellion will be more justified.

180
00:15:14,339 --> 00:15:16,341
What must I do to apologize

181
00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:18,385
for my disobedience?

182
00:15:19,136 --> 00:15:21,930
Send me to the palace in Onyang
along with my court ladies.

183
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:32,399
I no longer have any strength
to hold out in the palace.

184
00:15:36,737 --> 00:15:38,071
I will allow it,

185
00:15:41,074 --> 00:15:42,034
Mother.

186
00:16:35,545 --> 00:16:37,923
The palace is filled with people
who'll stab your back

187
00:16:38,507 --> 00:16:40,509
once you show them mercy.

188
00:16:42,511 --> 00:16:46,515
That is why I need someone
who will absolutely take my side.

189
00:16:49,935 --> 00:16:51,770
If they weren't with me,

190
00:16:52,813 --> 00:16:54,648
they were always against me.

191
00:16:55,565 --> 00:16:56,692
I will…

192
00:16:59,277 --> 00:17:01,655
take your side and live with you

193
00:17:02,531 --> 00:17:04,282
until the end of my life.

194
00:17:11,748 --> 00:17:13,250
Then why are you doing this?

195
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:15,502
Because I do not wish to lose you.

196
00:17:17,713 --> 00:17:20,173
I am not your enemy, Your Majesty.

197
00:17:20,882 --> 00:17:23,093
I wish to be a subject
who gives you candid advice.

198
00:17:25,721 --> 00:17:26,972
Please accept me.

199
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:31,059
You must accept me.

200
00:17:50,871 --> 00:17:53,123
The Queen Dowager is leaving today.

201
00:17:55,292 --> 00:17:56,209
Your Majesty.

202
00:17:56,460 --> 00:17:59,796
I never expected the Sarim to collude

203
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,465
with the Royal Court.

204
00:18:02,049 --> 00:18:04,009
If two enemies can work together,

205
00:18:04,092 --> 00:18:06,803
your subjects may work
with the Queen Dowager again.

206
00:18:08,930 --> 00:18:10,182
I know that.

207
00:18:12,642 --> 00:18:14,895
The Queen Dowager
will be attacked by muggers

208
00:18:14,978 --> 00:18:17,189
on her way down to Onyang.

209
00:18:19,357 --> 00:18:21,610
These are the same men
who broke into the palace.

210
00:18:21,985 --> 00:18:25,947
When they weren't paid for their service,
they decided to attack her out of grudge.

211
00:18:26,323 --> 00:18:30,494
I will make them confess
that they killed the Queen Dowager.

212
00:18:30,577 --> 00:18:33,163
-Kyun.
-This is the easiest way.

213
00:18:33,747 --> 00:18:35,540
You must take this path.

214
00:18:37,918 --> 00:18:39,169
Your Majesty.

215
00:18:40,003 --> 00:18:42,255
You must take the right path.

216
00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:46,468
I await your order.

217
00:18:57,771 --> 00:18:58,772
Your Highness.

218
00:18:58,855 --> 00:19:02,317
We are ready to leave.

219
00:19:05,612 --> 00:19:06,780
We should go.

220
00:19:07,697 --> 00:19:08,782
All right.

221
00:19:14,121 --> 00:19:14,996
You have

222
00:19:15,831 --> 00:19:17,082
all done well.

223
00:19:24,756 --> 00:19:25,924
You may leave.

224
00:20:29,196 --> 00:20:30,280
You need to stop.

225
00:20:31,281 --> 00:20:35,202
I must contemplate deeply
on what I'll do with the Queen Dowager.

226
00:20:44,878 --> 00:20:47,255
They'll arrive at the palace in Jinwi
around tomorrow.

227
00:20:47,797 --> 00:20:49,049
This is the Queen Dowager.

228
00:20:49,758 --> 00:20:51,384
You must let her pass without pain.

229
00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:58,892
The Queen Dowager has left
for the palace in Onyang?

230
00:20:58,975 --> 00:21:03,355
Yes, she put everything together quickly,
so it wasn't even properly done.

231
00:21:04,064 --> 00:21:05,607
When did she leave?

232
00:21:05,690 --> 00:21:06,900
About two days ago.

233
00:21:06,983 --> 00:21:09,402
She'll probably stay
at the palace in Jinwi today.

234
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:14,366
She set her dwelling on fire
to avoid getting pushed out.

235
00:21:14,449 --> 00:21:17,369
On top of that, she knows
she's a target of assassination.

236
00:21:17,953 --> 00:21:20,497
Yet she left the palace,
the safest place for her?

237
00:21:26,253 --> 00:21:28,463
I must leave immediately.

238
00:21:28,546 --> 00:21:29,589
No, my lord.

239
00:21:29,673 --> 00:21:31,424
The only way is to break out of jail.

240
00:21:31,508 --> 00:21:33,551
Let me leave immediately!

241
00:21:54,656 --> 00:21:57,325
Your Majesty, there is an urgent message.

242
00:21:58,785 --> 00:21:59,828
Come in.

243
00:22:09,796 --> 00:22:10,839
YOUR MAJESTY

244
00:22:11,423 --> 00:22:12,299
What is this?

245
00:22:12,382 --> 00:22:14,843
The Queen Dowager
left this letter for you.

246
00:22:16,261 --> 00:22:17,387
When did she leave this?

247
00:22:17,887 --> 00:22:20,181
She has left two days ago.

248
00:22:20,265 --> 00:22:24,269
She told her adjunct overseer
to give it to you after two days.

249
00:22:35,989 --> 00:22:37,824
<i>Eunuch Jung has not come in</i>

250
00:22:37,907 --> 00:22:40,368
<i>since the day after
the Queen Dowager has left.</i>

251
00:22:41,494 --> 00:22:43,246
YOUR MAJESTY

252
00:22:55,383 --> 00:22:57,427
<i>Didn't I tell you, Your Majesty?</i>

253
00:22:58,678 --> 00:23:00,680
<i>If I shed a drop of blood from my neck,</i>

254
00:23:00,764 --> 00:23:02,932
<i>did you think
you were safe on your throne?</i>

255
00:23:04,392 --> 00:23:06,603
<i>Once I die, there will be signs
in my handwriting</i>

256
00:23:07,604 --> 00:23:11,524
<i>put up all over the country
that says I was killed by you.</i>

257
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:13,610
<i>"The King…</i>

258
00:23:14,402 --> 00:23:16,112
<i>has killed his mother."</i>

259
00:23:18,198 --> 00:23:19,282
<i>Your Majesty, I'm sure</i>

260
00:23:20,283 --> 00:23:23,453
<i>you will now want to save me from death.</i>

261
00:23:31,961 --> 00:23:35,965
<i>There is no stronger justification
for the royal family to rebel against you.</i>

262
00:23:36,257 --> 00:23:38,676
<i>You'll become a child
who killed his own mother.</i>

263
00:23:38,802 --> 00:23:40,136
<i>I hope</i>

264
00:23:42,347 --> 00:23:44,974
<i>you live in the pain I leave behind,</i>

265
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:48,061
<i>caught up in bloody rebellion and purge.</i>

266
00:24:00,115 --> 00:24:02,033
Send the cavalry guard
to Jinwi Palace now.

267
00:24:02,117 --> 00:24:04,702
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Where's Eunuch Jung?

268
00:24:04,786 --> 00:24:06,329
Tell him to go to Jinwi Palace now,

269
00:24:06,413 --> 00:24:07,914
that this is urgent!

270
00:24:07,997 --> 00:24:10,625
Eunuch Jung has not come in
since yesterday.

271
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:12,419
Then where is he?

272
00:25:30,955 --> 00:25:31,998
Did the King

273
00:25:32,999 --> 00:25:34,709
send you here?

274
00:25:36,169 --> 00:25:37,128
Did you

275
00:25:38,546 --> 00:25:40,715
come to kill me?

276
00:25:43,676 --> 00:25:45,303
Shall I die for you?

277
00:25:46,638 --> 00:25:49,057
Once I die, you'll all live in pain.

278
00:25:50,225 --> 00:25:52,852
So I can gladly die for all of you.

279
00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:54,395
Your Highness.

280
00:25:55,063 --> 00:25:56,856
I am the reason…

281
00:25:58,566 --> 00:26:00,109
for all of your sins.

282
00:26:01,486 --> 00:26:02,487
So please,

283
00:26:03,947 --> 00:26:05,448
you must live.

284
00:26:07,325 --> 00:26:09,786
Did the King tell you to make sure I live?

285
00:26:10,578 --> 00:26:13,289
Your Joseon will stay as a whole
only if I live,

286
00:26:15,124 --> 00:26:17,335
so you finally want to save me now.

287
00:26:26,970 --> 00:26:28,846
Were you so troubled?

288
00:26:30,306 --> 00:26:31,266
Is that why

289
00:26:32,183 --> 00:26:34,102
you want to lay down everything?

290
00:26:37,313 --> 00:26:39,983
You said you wanted to live as a housewife

291
00:26:40,733 --> 00:26:43,403
who cooks dinner for her husband
and wait for him to come home.

292
00:26:43,903 --> 00:26:45,238
I forgot that

293
00:26:46,489 --> 00:26:48,992
you were someone who could be happy

294
00:26:51,077 --> 00:26:52,996
with the small things in life.

295
00:26:55,498 --> 00:26:58,501
I should have let you live that life.

296
00:27:00,086 --> 00:27:01,379
I regretted

297
00:27:02,255 --> 00:27:03,923
and regretted again.

298
00:27:06,843 --> 00:27:07,927
Your Highness.

299
00:28:29,634 --> 00:28:30,968
Your Highness.

300
00:28:33,930 --> 00:28:35,640
Please live.

301
00:28:38,017 --> 00:28:39,894
Though life may be…

302
00:28:40,478 --> 00:28:43,398
more humiliating and harsher…

303
00:28:44,482 --> 00:28:45,942
than death.

304
00:28:48,736 --> 00:28:50,238
When flowers bloom,

305
00:28:50,780 --> 00:28:53,241
you can look at those flowers

306
00:28:54,075 --> 00:28:54,992
and live a day…

307
00:28:57,161 --> 00:28:59,288
When it snows in the middle of winter,

308
00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:02,208
you can look at the snow

309
00:29:02,834 --> 00:29:05,712
and live yet another day.

310
00:29:07,296 --> 00:29:08,923
When you live like that,

311
00:29:09,924 --> 00:29:10,967
one day,

312
00:29:13,886 --> 00:29:16,973
you will find yourself smiling once again.

313
00:29:31,404 --> 00:29:33,030
Let me…

314
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:38,870
Let me rest for a short while.

315
00:30:48,564 --> 00:30:49,774
He died?

316
00:30:52,860 --> 00:30:54,570
Just like that?

317
00:30:55,238 --> 00:30:56,572
Your Majesty.

318
00:31:01,202 --> 00:31:02,245
I must

319
00:31:03,329 --> 00:31:05,665
leave the palace for a while.

320
00:31:07,625 --> 00:31:08,835
What do you mean?

321
00:31:09,460 --> 00:31:11,379
The Central Army saw me.

322
00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:14,549
They will testify that

323
00:31:14,632 --> 00:31:16,717
I killed Councilor Park

324
00:31:17,301 --> 00:31:18,845
and tried to kill the Queen Dowager.

325
00:31:22,265 --> 00:31:23,307
In the meantime,

326
00:31:26,185 --> 00:31:28,354
it will be difficult for me to serve you.

327
00:31:28,437 --> 00:31:29,939
It won't just be for a while.

328
00:31:30,523 --> 00:31:32,024
I will be within the city limits.

329
00:31:33,109 --> 00:31:35,069
I will hide nearby

330
00:31:36,153 --> 00:31:38,155
so that I can run to you
whenever you need me.

331
00:32:20,448 --> 00:32:21,991
If you leave,

332
00:32:22,742 --> 00:32:24,660
who am I supposed to trust?

333
00:32:25,244 --> 00:32:27,788
I asked the consort to look after you.

334
00:32:33,544 --> 00:32:36,631
Just as the late King
asked me to look after you,

335
00:32:38,174 --> 00:32:40,718
the only one I trust in this world

336
00:32:42,303 --> 00:32:43,888
is the consort.

337
00:33:15,795 --> 00:33:19,924
<i>Have you ever considered
that your decisions were not right?</i>

338
00:33:21,217 --> 00:33:23,219
Do you have any intention

339
00:33:25,054 --> 00:33:26,722
of asking for forgiveness

340
00:33:27,306 --> 00:33:29,809
from the ones you killed, from my father?

341
00:33:29,892 --> 00:33:31,060
That will not

342
00:33:32,269 --> 00:33:33,354
happen.

343
00:33:35,731 --> 00:33:38,609
My enemy,
the daughter of a rebel was queen.

344
00:33:38,693 --> 00:33:41,570
And the daughter
of my political enemy, the Sarim,

345
00:33:41,654 --> 00:33:43,531
became the crown princess.

346
00:33:44,115 --> 00:33:46,075
If I did not eliminate them first,

347
00:33:46,158 --> 00:33:48,869
my people and my comrades

348
00:33:50,454 --> 00:33:52,039
would have died.

349
00:33:59,338 --> 00:34:00,715
That is

350
00:34:01,590 --> 00:34:03,092
politics.

351
00:34:09,682 --> 00:34:10,975
<i>I have come to visit.</i>

352
00:34:12,518 --> 00:34:13,894
<i>I will show you</i>

353
00:34:14,645 --> 00:34:16,063
<i>that my politics, my reign</i>

354
00:34:17,648 --> 00:34:20,359
<i>will take a different path than yours.</i>

355
00:34:24,864 --> 00:34:27,575
IN MOURNING

356
00:34:37,501 --> 00:34:39,503
You should not get up so soon.

357
00:34:40,129 --> 00:34:42,006
You lost consciousness for two days.

358
00:34:42,089 --> 00:34:44,425
Who served our guests in that while?

359
00:34:44,508 --> 00:34:46,052
Aunt stepped up.

360
00:34:46,135 --> 00:34:48,220
She's not well-trained in etiquette.

361
00:34:48,929 --> 00:34:52,725
We must have served our guests poorly
as your father had passed.

362
00:34:53,768 --> 00:34:56,020
Mother, you don't have to strain yourself.

363
00:34:58,189 --> 00:34:59,607
I must do this.

364
00:34:59,690 --> 00:35:01,358
I am the lady of this house,

365
00:35:01,442 --> 00:35:04,570
who lived half of my life
as the wife of the councilor.

366
00:35:05,362 --> 00:35:07,239
Even though your father has passed,

367
00:35:07,823 --> 00:35:09,366
that fact does not change.

368
00:35:10,451 --> 00:35:12,536
I have much to look after,

369
00:35:12,620 --> 00:35:15,748
our family and the mouths to feed.

370
00:35:17,917 --> 00:35:18,793
And you.

371
00:35:20,961 --> 00:35:23,172
So I must remain strong.

372
00:36:03,337 --> 00:36:04,797
I have won.

373
00:36:06,841 --> 00:36:08,092
Your death

374
00:36:09,635 --> 00:36:11,178
is humble indeed.

375
00:36:26,694 --> 00:36:27,945
All deaths

376
00:36:29,113 --> 00:36:30,531
are humble.

377
00:36:31,699 --> 00:36:33,534
Your era has ended.

378
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:36,078
This is now my era.

379
00:36:37,163 --> 00:36:40,499
Do you believe your talent was overlooked

380
00:36:41,292 --> 00:36:43,169
because of your subjects?

381
00:36:45,212 --> 00:36:48,507
Do you not know that your subjects

382
00:36:49,592 --> 00:36:52,052
also help you cover up your faults?

383
00:36:52,887 --> 00:36:54,430
I never asked you

384
00:36:55,347 --> 00:36:56,891
to cover up my faults.

385
00:36:57,975 --> 00:37:00,352
From now on, your reign…

386
00:37:01,145 --> 00:37:04,773
is completely your responsibility.

387
00:37:10,029 --> 00:37:11,197
Do you believe…

388
00:37:13,949 --> 00:37:15,367
I will manage well?

389
00:37:21,415 --> 00:37:22,833
I do not know.

390
00:37:23,959 --> 00:37:25,127
That is why

391
00:37:25,211 --> 00:37:27,963
I could not trust you.

392
00:37:30,758 --> 00:37:33,928
However, your subjects are
only here to give you advice.

393
00:37:34,678 --> 00:37:36,263
All decisions are made

394
00:37:37,431 --> 00:37:39,683
by the sovereign ruler over our people,

395
00:37:40,893 --> 00:37:44,730
according to your will, Your Majesty.

396
00:39:27,291 --> 00:39:28,917
Why do you cry?

397
00:39:30,586 --> 00:39:31,628
Now,

398
00:39:33,839 --> 00:39:35,841
the one I must resent…

399
00:39:37,468 --> 00:39:38,886
is gone.

400
00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:53,961
I will depose you.

401
00:40:55,921 --> 00:40:58,424
It will become a long and tedious fight.

402
00:40:59,007 --> 00:41:00,926
The people will be split
for their own reasons.

403
00:41:01,427 --> 00:41:03,679
It'll take years to convince the officials

404
00:41:05,264 --> 00:41:07,057
and my people.

405
00:41:07,975 --> 00:41:10,144
Even after that, I will be criticized

406
00:41:10,727 --> 00:41:13,021
for dishonoring my parent
until the end of my reign.

407
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,357
However,

408
00:41:15,441 --> 00:41:18,318
it will be much better
than seeing flyers around the country

409
00:41:19,194 --> 00:41:21,572
about how a son has killed his mother.

410
00:41:23,615 --> 00:41:25,367
So please come with me,

411
00:41:26,577 --> 00:41:28,120
back to the tormenting life

412
00:41:29,997 --> 00:41:31,373
which you created.

413
00:41:34,209 --> 00:41:35,252
Just…

414
00:41:37,004 --> 00:41:38,130
kill me.

415
00:41:40,799 --> 00:41:41,675
Your Majesty.

416
00:41:45,846 --> 00:41:46,889
Please.

417
00:41:49,475 --> 00:41:50,684
Even if you hang yourself

418
00:41:51,685 --> 00:41:54,062
or drink poison, I will save you.

419
00:41:55,105 --> 00:41:58,192
I must show that the King is
fulfilling his duty as a son.

420
00:41:59,943 --> 00:42:01,737
So please continue to live

421
00:42:04,448 --> 00:42:06,200
all alone in this palace

422
00:42:10,329 --> 00:42:11,497
and enjoy

423
00:42:13,373 --> 00:42:14,416
a long life.

424
00:42:35,771 --> 00:42:36,980
Live a long life

425
00:42:40,108 --> 00:42:42,277
all alone?

426
00:43:34,705 --> 00:43:36,456
What is this?

427
00:43:36,832 --> 00:43:39,334
Isn't this a letter from Lady Jeong?

428
00:43:39,418 --> 00:43:40,502
Isn't it?

429
00:43:40,586 --> 00:43:42,296
What's with all the fuss?

430
00:43:43,505 --> 00:43:46,258
-Take a look.
-Okay, I'll look.

431
00:43:46,341 --> 00:43:47,301
I'll look.

432
00:43:49,553 --> 00:43:50,846
Are you teasing me?

433
00:43:51,346 --> 00:43:52,556
You know I can't read.

434
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:54,516
What did she say?

435
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:55,642
Is she well?

436
00:43:55,892 --> 00:43:58,103
Is her mother-in-law nice to her?

437
00:43:58,812 --> 00:43:59,938
She's well.

438
00:44:00,731 --> 00:44:02,983
-She asks if we're all well.
-Goodness.

439
00:44:03,066 --> 00:44:04,443
She thinks of all of you a lot.

440
00:44:04,526 --> 00:44:07,487
I hear there's an uproar in Hanyang.

441
00:44:07,571 --> 00:44:09,364
Please don't go out and get in trouble.

442
00:44:09,448 --> 00:44:12,451
Make sure you stay home.

443
00:44:12,534 --> 00:44:14,369
Okay?

444
00:44:14,453 --> 00:44:16,705
Okay… Okay?

445
00:44:17,831 --> 00:44:19,374
Can you write that for me?

446
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,086
I hear the Queen Dowager is
becoming something or whatever.

447
00:44:23,170 --> 00:44:27,716
And that crown princess
suddenly died, then came back alive.

448
00:44:27,799 --> 00:44:29,384
And who was it? That consort or something…

449
00:44:29,468 --> 00:44:32,804
Anyway, I can't believe
there is so much trouble.

450
00:44:32,888 --> 00:44:34,389
Everyone is talking about it.

451
00:44:35,390 --> 00:44:37,392
There's no use in giving advice here.

452
00:44:38,018 --> 00:44:39,645
She'll manage.

453
00:44:40,228 --> 00:44:43,315
Lord Lim, you're really cold-hearted.

454
00:44:45,901 --> 00:44:47,152
Goodness.

455
00:44:53,867 --> 00:44:54,826
Hey.

456
00:44:54,910 --> 00:44:56,870
You need me around here, don't you?

457
00:44:56,953 --> 00:44:59,790
What do you mean?
You don't do anything around here.

458
00:45:02,042 --> 00:45:06,546
I take care of the tributary payment
and the things with the local government.

459
00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:08,131
That's not a big deal.

460
00:45:08,507 --> 00:45:10,342
If you aren't around, we'll still manage.

461
00:45:10,425 --> 00:45:12,219
We can go on even without Lady Jeong.

462
00:45:15,722 --> 00:45:16,556
Why?

463
00:45:17,224 --> 00:45:19,559
Did the men up high in Hanyang
ask you to come?

464
00:45:19,643 --> 00:45:20,644
Will you go?

465
00:45:23,271 --> 00:45:25,065
What will I do there anyway?

466
00:45:25,649 --> 00:45:27,901
I'll end up seeing bureaucrats
bickering one another,

467
00:45:28,652 --> 00:45:30,737
instead of hearing our people.

468
00:45:31,321 --> 00:45:33,573
The noblemen who can
listen to what we have to say

469
00:45:33,657 --> 00:45:35,992
keep avoiding such places out of disgust.

470
00:45:36,076 --> 00:45:39,329
That's why only those
who won't listen to us remain there.

471
00:45:43,166 --> 00:45:44,376
So?

472
00:45:45,127 --> 00:45:46,169
Are you telling me to go?

473
00:45:47,170 --> 00:45:48,255
Me?

474
00:45:50,215 --> 00:45:52,634
Why do you do this to me?

475
00:45:58,181 --> 00:46:01,059
<i>How are you, master?</i>

476
00:46:01,685 --> 00:46:03,395
<i>Is everyone well?</i>

477
00:46:04,187 --> 00:46:07,482
<i>I see Bamboo Grove Village
once in a while in my dreams.</i>

478
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,820
<i>The village holds dearly in my heart.</i>

479
00:46:14,865 --> 00:46:16,116
Look at this.

480
00:46:16,199 --> 00:46:19,119
<i>Although there are many,
none are too wise.</i>

481
00:46:19,911 --> 00:46:21,955
<i>So it is always a challenge.</i>

482
00:46:22,914 --> 00:46:26,418
<i>Please, be by my side in the palace.</i>

483
00:46:34,050 --> 00:46:35,260
<i>Consort Yoo.</i>

484
00:46:35,594 --> 00:46:37,679
<i>Fifth Left Officer
of the Ministry of Taxation is here.</i>

485
00:46:49,399 --> 00:46:52,986
Fifth Left Officer Lim is here
to report to Consort Yoo.

486
00:46:56,156 --> 00:46:57,949
I hear the Ministry of Taxation is busy,

487
00:46:58,033 --> 00:46:59,451
and it must be true.

488
00:47:00,702 --> 00:47:02,078
You came to the palace a while ago,

489
00:47:02,162 --> 00:47:03,997
but only come see me now.

490
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,500
I obtained my office
thanks to the Left Minister,

491
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,376
so I focused on staying low

492
00:47:09,085 --> 00:47:11,588
and doing my job the best I can.

493
00:47:12,547 --> 00:47:14,007
I'm glad you're here.

494
00:47:15,926 --> 00:47:17,469
I heard you wanted to take the exam

495
00:47:17,552 --> 00:47:19,763
instead of accepting the recommendation.

496
00:47:20,347 --> 00:47:23,058
Many members of the Sarim
have become officials,

497
00:47:23,141 --> 00:47:24,810
which makes them
other meritorious subjects,

498
00:47:25,644 --> 00:47:27,938
and the harm they do is
also quite troubling.

499
00:47:29,147 --> 00:47:31,107
Is there a reason
why you changed your mind?

500
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:33,360
I began to feel the urgency.

501
00:47:34,236 --> 00:47:37,656
The crops continue to be bad.
If we do not reduce labor and offerings,

502
00:47:38,740 --> 00:47:42,869
come next year, we will see
even people in the city starving to death.

503
00:47:43,870 --> 00:47:44,955
That is why

504
00:47:46,456 --> 00:47:48,625
I needed you, Master Lim.

505
00:47:55,549 --> 00:47:56,716
Consort Yoo has…

506
00:47:57,217 --> 00:47:58,927
Bring the royal physician at once!

507
00:48:11,773 --> 00:48:14,192
Your Majesty,
Consort Yoo gave birth to a child.

508
00:48:14,276 --> 00:48:15,694
How is she?

509
00:48:15,777 --> 00:48:17,320
Is she all right?

510
00:48:17,404 --> 00:48:19,531
Yes, Your Majesty. She is healthy.

511
00:48:31,251 --> 00:48:33,628
Your Majesty, congratulations.

512
00:48:33,712 --> 00:48:35,422
-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

513
00:48:50,020 --> 00:48:51,021
Are you all right?

514
00:48:51,771 --> 00:48:52,856
Yes.

515
00:48:55,817 --> 00:48:57,861
He's a boy.

516
00:48:59,362 --> 00:49:00,572
He looks…

517
00:49:03,450 --> 00:49:04,492
really ugly.

518
00:49:06,494 --> 00:49:08,413
He looks exactly like you.

519
00:49:09,623 --> 00:49:12,417
Do I look like this?

520
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,754
Everyone complimented him and said
he is a handsome boy.

521
00:49:16,338 --> 00:49:17,213
Do you not think so?

522
00:49:17,797 --> 00:49:19,257
I do.

523
00:49:23,637 --> 00:49:25,055
Would you like to hold him?

524
00:49:35,732 --> 00:49:37,317
I am your father.

525
00:49:43,406 --> 00:49:44,824
You've done well.

526
00:50:09,099 --> 00:50:10,350
<i>You fool.</i>

527
00:50:11,434 --> 00:50:14,354
<i>After creating a world
where everything runs by your command,</i>

528
00:50:15,397 --> 00:50:16,940
<i>what will you do?</i>

529
00:50:20,652 --> 00:50:25,073
<i>Are you confident
that you will be different from a tyrant?</i>

530
00:50:28,535 --> 00:50:30,620
<i>Are the people by your side
in this new world</i>

531
00:50:31,413 --> 00:50:33,415
<i>genuinely loyal subjects…</i>

532
00:50:34,499 --> 00:50:36,292
<i>or are they treacherous?</i>

533
00:50:53,226 --> 00:50:54,269
Minister Cho.

534
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,521
Yes?

535
00:50:56,604 --> 00:50:58,398
I need you to go into exile for a while.

536
00:51:09,325 --> 00:51:11,161
The Minister of War became too big

537
00:51:11,786 --> 00:51:13,872
after our reorganization.

538
00:51:15,373 --> 00:51:19,002
The Three Offices and the Sarim scholars
petition every single day.

539
00:51:21,129 --> 00:51:22,255
What can I do?

540
00:51:23,256 --> 00:51:25,216
Someone will have to be responsible.

541
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:26,384
Was this

542
00:51:27,927 --> 00:51:29,888
the end of my worth from the start?

543
00:51:34,434 --> 00:51:35,852
<i>What are the guards doing?</i>

544
00:51:35,935 --> 00:51:37,979
Why is the commandant standing still?

545
00:52:03,046 --> 00:52:05,006
How could I ever forget

546
00:52:06,174 --> 00:52:08,051
that you were also a meritorious subject?

547
00:52:10,887 --> 00:52:12,555
I'll consider your contributions

548
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:14,390
and won't punish you any further.

549
00:52:18,937 --> 00:52:20,188
What about Lady Cho?

550
00:52:21,314 --> 00:52:23,316
She's a royal concubine I adore.

551
00:52:23,900 --> 00:52:25,235
She will be…

552
00:52:27,403 --> 00:52:28,613
cared for.

553
00:52:30,824 --> 00:52:32,033
I am grateful…

554
00:52:34,035 --> 00:52:35,411
for your mercy.

555
00:52:52,971 --> 00:52:55,014
Didn't you want a subject
that is absolutely loyal?

556
00:52:58,977 --> 00:53:03,773
Instead of those who use
all kinds of justifications to stop you,

557
00:53:05,775 --> 00:53:08,069
I can be more loyal to you.

558
00:53:08,153 --> 00:53:09,154
So…

559
00:53:10,488 --> 00:53:12,115
why do you abandon me?

560
00:53:55,950 --> 00:53:57,035
Father.

561
00:53:59,454 --> 00:54:00,496
What are you stitching?

562
00:54:01,706 --> 00:54:04,417
It's a present for my sister-in-law
once the baby is born.

563
00:54:05,001 --> 00:54:06,502
Why do you look after her?

564
00:54:07,545 --> 00:54:09,797
My silly brother is unsightly,

565
00:54:11,049 --> 00:54:13,718
but what can I do?
The baby will still be my nephew.

566
00:54:18,181 --> 00:54:19,390
Lady Cho.

567
00:54:20,433 --> 00:54:21,601
I must…

568
00:54:24,145 --> 00:54:25,730
travel far for a while.

569
00:54:28,524 --> 00:54:29,984
Where are you going?

570
00:54:38,159 --> 00:54:39,327
Lady Cho!

571
00:54:40,912 --> 00:54:42,705
I will make my case with His Majesty!

572
00:54:42,789 --> 00:54:46,167
He cannot do this.
He cannot do this to you!

573
00:54:46,251 --> 00:54:47,627
This is a process we must go through.

574
00:54:47,710 --> 00:54:49,963
Why should you get exiled?

575
00:54:50,046 --> 00:54:52,006
Consort Yoo committed a crime,

576
00:54:52,340 --> 00:54:54,926
yet she continues to dwell here
under the Sarim's protection.

577
00:54:55,009 --> 00:54:56,552
Why should you go?

578
00:54:59,430 --> 00:55:00,807
Is it because…

579
00:55:03,268 --> 00:55:04,686
I did not gain his favor?

580
00:55:04,769 --> 00:55:05,728
No.

581
00:55:07,105 --> 00:55:08,731
I forgot for a moment

582
00:55:08,815 --> 00:55:12,068
that His Majesty will not condone
the domination of his wife's family.

583
00:55:14,112 --> 00:55:15,405
Father…

584
00:55:24,706 --> 00:55:26,749
The Sarim won't hold power forever.

585
00:55:27,959 --> 00:55:29,627
Hold out until their power dwindles.

586
00:55:48,396 --> 00:55:51,482
His Majesty dismissed
Minister Cho from his office

587
00:55:51,899 --> 00:55:53,484
and sent him on an exile.

588
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:56,487
His Majesty drove out

589
00:55:57,071 --> 00:56:01,034
someone who could have taken his side.

590
00:56:03,244 --> 00:56:06,914
Did you find out the sentiment
of the Sarim in Yeongnam?

591
00:56:06,998 --> 00:56:09,042
Do you really plan on using them?

592
00:56:10,001 --> 00:56:12,420
Left Minister will protest violently.

593
00:56:13,755 --> 00:56:18,426
I'll also need those in power
who will hold my people in check.

594
00:56:46,496 --> 00:56:48,289
Why did you come out this far?

595
00:56:48,790 --> 00:56:52,502
You will fall into trouble
if Consort Yoo finds out.

596
00:56:56,756 --> 00:56:58,466
His Majesty gave me his permission.

597
00:57:01,677 --> 00:57:03,388
You must stay strong and hold out.

598
00:57:04,639 --> 00:57:07,934
I will protect our family and our name.

599
00:57:10,144 --> 00:57:13,898
I brought you up like this
to let you live a comfortable life.

600
00:57:14,690 --> 00:57:17,860
Do not do anything until the day I return.

601
00:57:17,944 --> 00:57:18,903
No.

602
00:57:20,196 --> 00:57:23,282
Even if I must beg His Majesty,
I will lie with him.

603
00:57:26,077 --> 00:57:27,495
I will bear him a son.

604
00:57:28,496 --> 00:57:30,248
I will humor the consort if I must

605
00:57:30,915 --> 00:57:32,750
and relieve you from your exile.

606
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,505
I will build up enough strength
so that no one dare

607
00:57:38,506 --> 00:57:40,133
to hurt you or my brother.

608
00:57:45,430 --> 00:57:47,056
I will protect you now,

609
00:57:48,724 --> 00:57:49,976
Father.

610
00:57:53,271 --> 00:57:54,772
I may not be the queen,

611
00:57:56,149 --> 00:57:57,608
but I shall become

612
00:57:58,359 --> 00:57:59,819
the Queen Dowager.

613
00:58:37,899 --> 00:58:40,902
I'd like to make Lady Cho
a Noble Lady of rank junior one.

614
00:58:41,694 --> 00:58:42,987
I see.

615
00:58:43,654 --> 00:58:46,657
I shall adore Lady Cho and look after her.

616
00:58:48,326 --> 00:58:49,577
Before I do that,

617
00:58:52,371 --> 00:58:53,956
I'd like to hold your installation

618
00:58:55,166 --> 00:58:56,209
as the queen.

619
00:58:58,878 --> 00:58:59,962
Your Majesty.

620
00:59:01,130 --> 00:59:02,882
From the moment I first met you,

621
00:59:03,841 --> 00:59:07,512
I knew you were worthy of being the mother
and a loyal subject of this nation.

622
00:59:10,973 --> 00:59:13,351
That you're a woman who sees and knows

623
00:59:14,894 --> 00:59:16,646
the things I overlook.

624
00:59:16,729 --> 00:59:21,234
"She'll prove to be useful,
so I shall take her in."

625
00:59:22,735 --> 00:59:24,195
That's what I thought.

626
00:59:26,322 --> 00:59:29,784
If I had known you were
such a frightening and mean subject…

627
00:59:30,368 --> 00:59:32,787
If you did, you wouldn't have had me
in the selection.

628
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:38,751
Even if I knew,

629
00:59:40,294 --> 00:59:41,796
I would have done the same.

630
00:59:45,049 --> 00:59:46,717
It's a tough journey to stay together,

631
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,179
but it's still easier
than losing you and the Prince.

632
01:01:00,666 --> 01:01:01,917
Congratulations,

633
01:01:02,001 --> 01:01:03,210
Your Highness.

634
01:01:03,961 --> 01:01:06,881
Escorting you to the ceremony
is my job as a royal concubine.

635
01:01:08,299 --> 01:01:10,551
I'd like to escort you to the ceremony.

636
01:01:10,635 --> 01:01:12,720
Please allow me to do so.

637
01:01:15,389 --> 01:01:16,724
Thank you for your help.

638
01:01:19,352 --> 01:01:20,436
It's an honor.

639
01:02:15,825 --> 01:02:17,326
<i>Do you regret it?</i>

640
01:02:20,913 --> 01:02:22,665
<i>I already do.</i>

641
01:02:25,793 --> 01:02:28,379
<i>You are a shimmering blade</i>

642
01:02:28,921 --> 01:02:30,673
<i>hanging above my head.</i>

643
01:02:33,634 --> 01:02:36,387
<i>They say there must be a sword
hanging above</i>

644
01:02:37,138 --> 01:02:39,306
<i>in order to feel
the gravity of the throne.</i>

645
01:02:40,683 --> 01:02:43,978
<i>You are my one and only sanctuary.</i>

646
01:02:45,688 --> 01:02:49,233
<i>I shall eternally be your sanctuary.</i>

647
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,482
So I shall walk with you.

648
01:04:12,775 --> 01:04:14,735
For you are the sword above my head

649
01:04:15,861 --> 01:04:17,363
and my sanctuary.

650
01:04:24,787 --> 01:04:26,455
<i>You are my lover,</i>

651
01:04:27,748 --> 01:04:29,500
<i>my Queen,</i>

652
01:04:32,169 --> 01:04:33,170
<i>and…</i>

653
01:04:34,672 --> 01:04:36,006
<i>my political rival.</i>

654
01:05:01,657 --> 01:05:04,243
BLOODY HEART

655
01:05:55,419 --> 01:05:58,589
ON THE FIFTEENTH SOMEDAY

656
01:06:33,207 --> 01:06:34,375
Why do you stare so?

657
01:06:42,549 --> 01:06:44,301
To have a good long look at you.

658
01:06:47,388 --> 01:06:50,975
It'll be another fifteen days
till I can see you again.
