<i> Episode 9</i>

3
00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:13,600
Who are you?

4
00:00:15,050 --> 00:00:17,000
I asked, who are you?

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,490
I'm Lee Yeok.

6
00:00:19,850 --> 00:00:23,730
Hyungnim, it's me.

7
00:00:26,590 --> 00:00:28,620
I have returned.

8
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:46,470
Have you been well?

9
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,640
You were alive. You were alive!

10
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:30,600
Quickly, move her to the royal infirmary.

11
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:48,630
My younger brother, whom I thought was dead, has returned. What are you all doing?!

12
00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:52,160
We greet Your Highness the Grand Prince!

13
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,560
We greet Your Highness the Grand Prince!

14
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:08,360
You're still all the same. Oh, My Lord. My Lord.

15
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,830
you've been promoted?

16
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,680
Yes, Your Highness the Grand Prince.

17
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,690
Congratulations. Five years have passed and you haven't aged at all.

18
00:02:15,690 --> 00:02:19,760
Your Highness the Grand Prince, I welcome your return to the palace.

19
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,580
I was grateful for the medicine you received from Ming.

20
00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:24,340
You still remember that?

21
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:25,990
Of course.

22
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:30,590
Now, now, now! Everyone, get up! How long has it been?

23
00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:34,900
Quickly, call the royal physician.

24
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,000
Yes, Your Highness.

25
00:02:41,510 --> 00:02:45,670
Therefore, please relieve Young Lady Sin and I of our false charges.

26
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:51,580
The behavior of the Office of Procurement, of throwing people overboard in times when the ship tilts,

27
00:02:51,580 --> 00:02:54,570
I could not just sit and watch, isn't that so?

28
00:02:58,170 --> 00:03:02,840
Officers from the Office of Procurement wouldn't have committed such reckless acts.

29
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,720
I don't think this is something to decide on lightly without any evidence.

30
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,740
Then,

31
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:14,560
you cornered Young Lady Sin into being the culprit, locked her in a cell,

32
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,570
and even forwarded that crime onto her family members without any evidence. How will you explain that?

33
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:27,130
The real thief

34
00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:40,970
is among the ministers here.

35
00:03:42,230 --> 00:03:47,460
Thief, Your Highness?! Aren't your words too harsh?

36
00:03:57,690 --> 00:04:00,630
Here, here,

37
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,190
up to here, these are the recorded royal offerings from Samnam.

38
00:04:06,190 --> 00:04:09,150
So much.

39
00:04:09,150 --> 00:04:11,390
But,

40
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:15,900
this, this, and starting from this

41
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:19,800
all the way to here,

42
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,610
the owner is unknown.

43
00:04:25,770 --> 00:04:30,350
Headgear embroidered in gold thread, a sleeveless robe, a four-sided robe.

44
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:35,810
Aren't these things used in celebrating first birthdays? Among the ministers here,

45
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:41,130
is there anyone who recently celebrated the first birthday of a grandson or a son born in your later years?

46
00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:44,350
Isn't someone who dared to take advantage of the royal command to exploit the people

47
00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:49,070
the real thief. Are they not?

48
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:57,040
Why would someone who dared to use a royal command for private ownership be here?

49
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,670
It must be the disorganized act of provincial officials while transporting them.

50
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:05,700
I'll be sure to find the culprits and punish them to the full extent of the law.

51
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:07,520
Whom do you believe

52
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,570
those people believed in to commit this act?

53
00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:17,580
I'll investigate that too.

54
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:22,620
Then, wasn't it the doing of Your Highness the Grand Prince, on the minister's repositories?

55
00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:24,460
Repositories?

56
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,580
There is no need to hold resentment since even the King was robbed.

57
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,310
Out of all things...well, someone who uses a royal command for private ownership

58
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:43,840
wouldn't be afraid of a mere Grand Prince.

59
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,540
Then this rascal is playing around with the nation, isn't he?

60
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:52,490
Listen up!

61
00:05:53,530 --> 00:05:58,870
Grand Prince Jin Seong was unexpectedly framed as the thief who stole the royal offerings

62
00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:04,600
and because of that, the First Vice Premier's daughter, Young Lady Sin, suffered a great deal.

63
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,280
Announce to the world that Grand Prince Jin Seong and Young Lady Sin are innocent,

64
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:13,500
fix the incorrect truth, and adequately compensate Young Lady Sin who has

65
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,570
suffered from this ordeal.

66
00:06:19,690 --> 00:06:26,620
And the thief that impersonated Grand Prince Jin Seong,

67
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:33,700
Chief Royal Secretary, take responsibility for it and work with the Bureau of Punishment

68
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,490
to make sure you arrest him.

69
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,470
I'll carry out your order, Your Majesty.

70
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:53,420
Get up, First Vice Premier. His Majesty has ordered clemency.

71
00:07:08,650 --> 00:07:10,790
Your Highness the Grand Prince.

72
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:13,660
You're headed towards the royal infirmary.

73
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:16,550
Her Highness the Queen Dowager's quarters are this way.

74
00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:34,770
Your Majesty, everything Grand Prince Jin Seong said in the council hall was a lie.

75
00:07:34,770 --> 00:07:38,830
What do you mean by coincidence? What was unintended?

76
00:07:38,830 --> 00:07:43,530
Grand Prince Jin Seong did not return without a reason—

77
00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:51,430
You have just died. What was your crime?

78
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:53,930
I-I discredited your

79
00:07:53,930 --> 00:07:57,810
credibility in front of your subjects—

80
00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:04,330
You have just died again. What was your crime?

81
00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:12,470
I disobeyed a direct royal command and harmed Grand Prince Jin Seong—

82
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,620
You have just died again.

83
00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:27,240
I am guilty of allowing Grand Prince Jin Seong to return alive.

84
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Therefore, live as if you were dead.

85
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,610
Don't act up anymore.

86
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,470
Your Majesty!

87
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,600
Do you have to truly die to come to your senses?!

88
00:08:55,530 --> 00:09:00,410
Your Majesty, I cannot die like this.

89
00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:03,400
You know there is something I have not been able to finish!

90
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,750
It's something no one else can do except for me!

91
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:13,070
Your Majesty, you cannot abandon me!

92
00:09:14,130 --> 00:09:16,200
Your Majesty!

93
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:26,970
Are you planning on disobeying me?

94
00:09:26,970 --> 00:09:32,980
I didn't know you would return so readily to save that mere child.

95
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:38,700
All of those years I've spent holding it in seem to have been in vain now.

96
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,480
Mother.

97
00:09:41,170 --> 00:09:45,940
Yes, if you have something you want to say, then say it. I just don't—

98
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:48,670
Can't you hug me, just once?

99
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:58,530
If not, I will hug you.

100
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:21,700
See, we're able to be together like this.

101
00:10:22,490 --> 00:10:24,770
Isn't it nice?

102
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:51,300
There will be good things ahead of us.

103
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:55,360
I, your son,

104
00:10:57,630 --> 00:11:00,650
will make sure that happens.

105
00:11:05,630 --> 00:11:07,890
Please don't cry.

106
00:11:25,490 --> 00:11:29,760
But your decision is still reckless, Sire.

107
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,900
This isn't only because of Chae Gyeong.

108
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:37,280
My brother seemed to be aware of my true identity.

109
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:42,610
I decided that just running away and hiding

110
00:11:42,610 --> 00:11:45,720
would make the situation for the people around me more dangerous.

111
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,550
My brother and the Chief Royal Secretary will do anything to drag me down.

112
00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:56,210
However, keeping you in check will get worse from here on out. Is there any way?

113
00:11:58,130 --> 00:12:01,890
I'm going to use my brother's people for my own benefit.

114
00:12:01,890 --> 00:12:04,760
Hire a spy?

115
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,340
Yes, that's right, Sire. Once you catch the right fish,

116
00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:14,100
you'll be able to get rid of Grand Prince Jin Seong for sure.

117
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:17,950
Hiring a spy is the perfect way to make that happen.

118
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:23,440
We have just the right person for that.

119
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,360
Who is it?

120
00:12:25,970 --> 00:12:29,780
It's Sin Chae Gyeong, the daughter of the First Vice-Premier.

121
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,250
What did you just say?

122
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:37,380
Your Highness Grand Prince!

123
00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:43,230
I would like to marry Chae Gyeong.

124
00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:49,550
Chae Gyeong.

125
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,740
Are you feeling a little better now?

126
00:12:56,370 --> 00:13:01,710
Is the Grand Prince truly back?

127
00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:15,560
Stay put until your father gets here.

128
00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:21,320
There's something I must tell you.

129
00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:26,600
Isn't this what you wanted, Mother?

130
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,490
If I become the son-in-law of my brother's most trusted subordinate,

131
00:13:30,490 --> 00:13:33,000
I will be able to break free from by brother's constant monitoring.

132
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,120
However, the situation has changed now.

133
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,230
Of course, it has. The power of the First Vice-Premier

134
00:13:41,230 --> 00:13:43,400
has become even stronger than before.

135
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,490
Not only has his relationship with the King become even closer,

136
00:13:46,490 --> 00:13:50,440
but he also has intimate relations with the officials holding military power.

137
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,630
So, I will get married to Chae Gyeong

138
00:13:55,610 --> 00:13:59,430
and bring the First Vice-Premier to be on my side instead.

139
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,560
Who knows? The First Vice-Premier just might

140
00:14:06,690 --> 00:14:10,310
be on his daughter's side instead of his sister?

141
00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:12,240
That's impossible.

142
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,350
I can't use Chae Gyeong like that.

143
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Or we can find a suitable bride for Grand Prince Jin Seong

144
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,410
among the daughters of the other officials instead.

145
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,940
However,

146
00:14:30,940 --> 00:14:34,110
would you be able to trust them as much as the First Vice-Premier?

147
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:39,020
Are the gifts to be sent to the Queen Dowager's quarters ready?

148
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:41,490
Yes, Your Majesty.

149
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:45,060
First of all,

150
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:48,640
we should give a congratulatory message to the Queen Dowager first, right?

151
00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:52,990
All you want to do is protect that girl Sin Chae Gyeong, that's all.

152
00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:55,710
It's because protecting her is more advantageous.

153
00:14:55,710 --> 00:15:00,370
The most beneficial thing to do is finding the secret order.

154
00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:05,060
Your Highness.

155
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:14,830
Queen—

156
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:20,990
All the officials of the court and the people of this nation will follow the orders of the late king.

157
00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:24,200
So right now, finding the missing scribe

158
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560
and knowing about the secret order is the wisest thing to do.

159
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,360
And on top of that, the scribe is Seo No's father.

160
00:15:33,090 --> 00:15:37,900
- If Seo No just reveals his father's whereabouts—
- Shh!

161
00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:23,190
Hyungnim.

162
00:16:27,630 --> 00:16:30,660
We greet you, Your Majesty.

163
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:35,470
Did I interrupt you while you were having fun?

164
00:16:35,470 --> 00:16:40,690
No, Your Majesty. I just gave my greetings to the Queen Dowager and the Grand Prince

165
00:16:40,690 --> 00:16:44,040
and was just about to leave.

166
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,260
Your niece, right?

167
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:49,270
My name is Myeong Hye from the Yoon clan, Your Majesty.

168
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:53,200
Carry on, Your Majesty.

169
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,040
I wonder how much the King has heard.

170
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,700
Ever since the Grand Prince almost died,

171
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:28,700
the King has been very quick to react to the smallest thing.

172
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:33,820
I'm sure the King noticed already when he entered the hallway.

173
00:17:42,970 --> 00:17:45,970
Getting married to the girl from the Sin family?

174
00:17:45,970 --> 00:17:49,370
We're practically giving away everything we've worked for.

175
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:52,840
That's fine by me.

176
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Because in the end, I'll be one

177
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,190
to get the last laugh.

178
00:17:59,970 --> 00:18:05,000
That's true. The war between the King and the Grand Prince has already begun.

179
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,370
Try to endure it all so we can win.

180
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:16,240
Yes, sir. However, I won't be able to endure forever.

181
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,520
We must become the owner of the coups. So once we succeed,

182
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,840
we can boldly demand the stakes we deserve.

183
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,420
That's right. Now I shall slowly but surely

184
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:31,000
make a full blown appearance then.

185
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,730
Grand Prince Lee Yeok, who was exiled to Hamgil Province,

186
00:18:36,730 --> 00:18:42,430
is forgiven for the crime of helping a criminal escape in the past and for all of the offenses

187
00:18:42,430 --> 00:18:46,980
and all of his rights and everything that belonged to him will be restored to him.

188
00:19:01,030 --> 00:19:04,170
My gratitude to you Your Majesty.

189
00:19:10,330 --> 00:19:13,870
Are you that happy Queen Dowager?

190
00:19:13,870 --> 00:19:19,070
Of course I am. This is all thanks to you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty.

191
00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:25,900
Don't mention it. You're in peace now that you don't have to hide it anymore, right?

192
00:19:28,900 --> 00:19:32,320
Yes. When the Grand Prince died

193
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,540
I couldn't even mourn to my heart's content because I didn't want to trouble you.

194
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:39,730
And I had a hard time hiding my true feelings.

195
00:19:39,730 --> 00:19:43,760
But now that he has come back safe and sound

196
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,160
I'm not going to shy away from it and plan to be happy to my heart's content.

197
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,540
Of course, you should.

198
00:19:50,540 --> 00:19:52,400
Hey there!

199
00:20:00,570 --> 00:20:05,860
This is a gift from me to you, Mother.

200
00:20:09,460 --> 00:20:11,730
You're so considerate!

201
00:20:11,730 --> 00:20:14,960
When did you prepare all of this?

202
00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:23,750
What is all of this, Hyungnim?

203
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:26,670
I'm honored.

204
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:33,210
Now, I feel as if being born as your younger brother was not in vain.

205
00:20:33,210 --> 00:20:37,810
No, should I say returning from the dead was not in vain?

206
00:20:40,220 --> 00:20:43,460
Grand Prince, how can you speak such crass and vulgar words?

207
00:20:43,460 --> 00:20:48,790
Yes! From now on, live doing everything you couldn't do before.

208
00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:51,770
I'll make sure you're able to do so.

209
00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:55,110
Your grace is immeasurable.

210
00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:09,230
Would you like to have a drink with me?

211
00:21:11,010 --> 00:21:12,730
A drink?

212
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,170
Of course.

213
00:21:16,170 --> 00:21:21,030
I will head right on over after stopping by Resting Hall, so go and wait at the Green Dew Pavilion.

214
00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:22,540
Yes.

215
00:21:30,930 --> 00:21:34,180
Don't ever bring up the secret order again.

216
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,130
Did you forget that because of that mere secret order,

217
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:42,520
he suspected me, was on his guard,

218
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:47,580
and even tried to kill me?

219
00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:48,780
Yeok.

220
00:21:48,780 --> 00:21:53,020
I don't want to risk my fate on that secret order.

221
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:01,530
Although it will take some time, I will take the throne with my own strength.

222
00:22:01,530 --> 00:22:05,900
So, you plan on proceeding with that marriage?

223
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,620
Yes.

224
00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:22,520
Do you remember that?

225
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Yes.

226
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,670
Take it out and read it.

227
00:22:27,670 --> 00:22:32,430
This is the reason we hid you in Geochang when you were young.

228
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:50,040
<i>Chae Gyeong will bring to the royal family . . .</i>

229
00:22:57,860 --> 00:23:00,390
Since His Highness the Grand Prince returned alive,

230
00:23:00,390 --> 00:23:03,370
I decided that I must tell you before it's too late.

231
00:23:03,370 --> 00:23:10,600
Chae Gyeong, now, you must escape from this evil fortune by yourself.

232
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:27,500
How did it go?

233
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:29,760
It's not something that'll work at once.

234
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,570
For now, return to your residence.

235
00:23:32,570 --> 00:23:35,720
He will soon summon you.

236
00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:42,020
My Lord.

237
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:57,070
With the Grand Prince returned, I fear that you and I squabbling over whom is to blame for what responsibility,

238
00:23:57,070 --> 00:24:00,700
will disturb His Majesty's mind and court his anger

239
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:04,320
so I will overlook this incident just this once.

240
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,260
May you regard your life as having been spared once,

241
00:24:09,260 --> 00:24:15,300
and from now on, please serve His Majesty with your full allegiance and not become a problem to him.

242
00:24:17,350 --> 00:24:19,930
You render me speechless.

243
00:24:19,930 --> 00:24:25,130
Your daughter was the one who created this chaos.

244
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,690
How can you blame me for everything?

245
00:25:20,570 --> 00:25:22,300
Head Eunuch.

246
00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:29,780
Reassign the task of overseeing tribute goods from the Chief Royal Secretary to the First Vice-Premier.

247
00:25:29,780 --> 00:25:31,830
And tell him to assist the First Vice-Premier.

248
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:33,560
Yes, Your Majesty.

249
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,950
And as you commanded, I have set up the wine table at Green Dew Pavilion.

250
00:25:56,830 --> 00:26:00,370
It's already been two hours since we laid out the wine table.

251
00:26:00,370 --> 00:26:01,690
This won't do.

252
00:26:01,690 --> 00:26:05,960
I'll tell His Highness the Grand Prince that His Majesty will be late—

253
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,720
Seriously!

254
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,270
How will you live as an eunuch if you're that dense?

255
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,360
I prodded around a bit and it seems His Majesty is training His Highness the Grand Prince.

256
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:19,630
Training?

257
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:21,560
Putting everything else aside,

258
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,290
if the King tells you to wait, then it is the duty of the subject to wait,

259
00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:28,440
whether it's a two hour period or an entire day!

260
00:26:58,900 --> 00:27:00,710
I'll give to you.

261
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,900
Your Majesty.

262
00:27:15,140 --> 00:27:18,310
Back then, when I met you at the tavern,

263
00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:22,080
I freaked out thinking I was going to get caught.

264
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,640
I pretended I wasn't, like this.

265
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,470
You were completely fooled, weren't you?

266
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:32,640
Of course I was fooled! I couldn't have imagined that that cheerful and cute young boy

267
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,000
would have turned out this disgusting.

268
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,250
Now, you've become an adult.

269
00:27:40,250 --> 00:27:46,280
I sincerely wished you wouldn't have become an adult.

270
00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:52,520
<i> Because when I become an adult, you'll have to hand the throne over to me.</i>

271
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,570
Who do you think tried to kill you?

272
00:27:57,570 --> 00:27:59,680
Of course, that would be...

273
00:28:02,450 --> 00:28:04,290
bandits.

274
00:28:04,290 --> 00:28:07,230
Who else could it be?

275
00:28:07,230 --> 00:28:10,420
After returning from the dead,

276
00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:13,390
this world has become so unfair.

277
00:28:13,390 --> 00:28:19,830
I want to capture those who tried to kill me and exact my revenge

278
00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:25,550
but since this is a life I had trouble regaining,

279
00:28:25,550 --> 00:28:29,420
I don't want to waste my precious time with resentment and anger.

280
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:33,770
My feelings change countless times per day.

281
00:28:36,030 --> 00:28:38,970
"It would have been better if I had just died",

282
00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:44,800
haven't you ever had those thoughts?

283
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,100
I heard that people tend to think those thoughts when they become quite tormented.

284
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:51,020
Of course I did.

285
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,030
I did.

286
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:01,690
But recently, I discovered I wanted to live again.

287
00:29:01,690 --> 00:29:06,230
Furthermore, I even have a trivial dream.

288
00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:07,590
A dream?

289
00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:09,070
Yes.

290
00:29:09,070 --> 00:29:16,020
I want to become strong so I can protect myself and those who are precious to me.

291
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:20,290
So, did you achieve that dream?

292
00:29:20,290 --> 00:29:22,430
It'll take a while to achieve it.

293
00:29:22,430 --> 00:29:27,060
I've barely just regained my title.

294
00:29:27,060 --> 00:29:32,700
I'm sure the title of "Grand Prince" isn't that trivial.

295
00:29:37,370 --> 00:29:39,340
Of course!

296
00:29:40,770 --> 00:29:43,820
My older brother is the king of Joseon.

297
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:48,460
Ah, you must keep all of the promises you made earlier.

298
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,460
Yes, what do you want the most?

299
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,750
Sin Chae Gyeong.

300
00:30:10,010 --> 00:30:12,830
I want Chae Gyeong.

301
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:19,170
Out of all things, why her?

302
00:30:19,170 --> 00:30:21,590
I like Chae Gyeong.

303
00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:26,800
I wish to be together with her.

304
00:30:35,450 --> 00:30:38,310
You're leaving already?

305
00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:41,340
It's been a while since I've drank in a good mood;

306
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:44,100
I've already reached my tolerance.

307
00:30:50,770 --> 00:30:52,830
Your Majesty.

308
00:31:17,050 --> 00:31:18,940
Hey, Seo No! What are you doing?

309
00:31:18,940 --> 00:31:21,910
Come have a drink. Hey!

310
00:31:21,910 --> 00:31:27,460
Was the grand plan you carried out amount to diverting me, tailing our guild, and reclaiming the royal offerings?

311
00:31:27,460 --> 00:31:29,560
The grand method you chose

312
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,930
was to announce to the world that Grand Prince Jin Seong is alive.

313
00:31:32,930 --> 00:31:38,150
- We tried to stop him too—
- "Hiding is not the only solution"

314
00:31:38,150 --> 00:31:40,750
is what Yeok said and I just followed.

315
00:31:40,750 --> 00:31:44,940
Thanks to that, we saved people who were unjustly framed.

316
00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:50,440
If the situation changes, the method can change accordingly.

317
00:31:54,130 --> 00:31:57,820
Is that method a mere marriage?

318
00:31:57,820 --> 00:32:01,800
I don't like that either; his idea of using Young Lady Chae Gyeong.

319
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,650
-Then?
- But I will not oppose it either.

320
00:32:05,650 --> 00:32:07,150
Why?

321
00:32:07,150 --> 00:32:11,320
Because those two cannot enter a political marriage anyway.

322
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,780
Those two will come to sincerely love each other.

323
00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:24,190
If that's not the case, what will you do?

324
00:32:24,190 --> 00:32:30,060
I don't have to do anything. They will definitely end up falling in love.

325
00:32:34,910 --> 00:32:37,780
<i> If Chae Gyeong meets a person of the royal family,</i>

326
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:42,560
<i> it will spark a bloodbath among the court and the royal family.</i>

327
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,430
<i> Please do not forget my prediction.</i>

328
00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:46,380
Nonsense.

329
00:32:46,380 --> 00:32:47,870
<i>Chae Gyeong will make the royal family . . .</i>

330
00:32:59,650 --> 00:33:02,370
Come here!

331
00:33:02,370 --> 00:33:04,420
Who is that?

332
00:33:08,930 --> 00:33:10,940
Chae Gyeong!

333
00:33:14,020 --> 00:33:18,740
Nanny, tell him I'm sleeping. Tell him I can't meet him because I'm still sick.

334
00:33:18,740 --> 00:33:21,030
Stand guard and don't allow anyone to enter.

335
00:33:21,030 --> 00:33:23,290
Why are you giving me such a difficult task?

336
00:33:23,290 --> 00:33:26,190
But I can't lie.

337
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,880
Promise me you won't scream.

338
00:34:03,730 --> 00:34:05,800
Then, I'll let you go.

339
00:34:15,700 --> 00:34:17,340
Nanny—

340
00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:36,880
Seems like you're all recovered. Seeing how you're lying about being asleep too.

341
00:34:39,460 --> 00:34:41,340
Please leave.

342
00:34:44,830 --> 00:34:47,230
Are you not happy to see me?

343
00:34:48,430 --> 00:34:49,990
Yes. I'm unhappy.

344
00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:51,790
Why?

345
00:34:54,450 --> 00:34:57,540
- Chae Gyeong—
- Because I can't trust you!

346
00:34:57,540 --> 00:35:00,660
Everything you say is a lie!

347
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:05,870
At the tavern where we first met, at the pawn shop, at the grave, and in the cave.

348
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,150
I do not wish to see you again. Please leave.

349
00:35:39,980 --> 00:35:46,080
Alright, at the tavern where we first met, at the pawn shop,

350
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:51,460
at the grave, and in the cave, I lied.

351
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,030
The biggest lie among all of the lies I've told

352
00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:01,880
is that I didn't miss you.

353
00:36:07,490 --> 00:36:09,720
I missed you,

354
00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:16,930
a lot. 
 ♫ <i> Suddenly, the whole world </i> ♫

after returning the token to me and leaving,

359

Is it His Highness the Grand Prince?

410
00:39:30,610 --> 00:39:32,490
Your Majesty.

411
00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:37,090
Were you waiting for Yeok?

412
00:39:38,550 --> 00:39:42,410
No, I was not.

413
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,300
Are you allowed to come outside like this?

414
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:56,200
Yes, the physician allowed me to walk in moderation.

415
00:40:00,820 --> 00:40:03,590
I am indebted to you, Your Majesty.

416
00:40:03,590 --> 00:40:09,000
If it were not for you, I would already be dead.

417
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:17,800
Debt? Haven't you also saved my life before?

418
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,890
How is that really saving you?

419
00:40:22,190 --> 00:40:24,050
I'm sorry.

420
00:40:24,050 --> 00:40:30,620
For not telling you in advance. I unintentionally deceived Your Majesty.

421
00:40:32,970 --> 00:40:39,830
Alright. Though I wish to say it's alright, to be honest it saddened me very much.

422
00:40:39,830 --> 00:40:44,560
Perhaps you couldn't trust me?

423
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,170
It isn't so. Please don't misunderstand.

424
00:40:47,170 --> 00:40:53,020
It wasn't that. To see someone's life go awry on my account.

425
00:40:53,020 --> 00:40:56,320
I did not want to see that again.

426
00:41:01,220 --> 00:41:07,920
From now on there shall never be an occasion for me to deceive Your Majesty.

427
00:41:10,110 --> 00:41:12,210
I'm sorry.

428
00:41:25,220 --> 00:41:28,980
Alright. You've promised me then.

429
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,310
Yes.

430
00:41:57,310 --> 00:42:04,050
<i>From now on there shall never be an occasion for me to deceive Your Majesty. </i>

431
00:42:32,410 --> 00:42:33,890
Take a drink from me.

432
00:42:33,890 --> 00:42:35,540
Hey.

433
00:42:38,910 --> 00:42:42,130
Here, money for your wine. Pretend we're well-acquainted.

434
00:42:42,130 --> 00:42:44,350
One who buys you wine is a friend.

435
00:42:46,590 --> 00:42:49,530
Aunt! We're out of wine here.

436
00:42:50,650 --> 00:42:53,370
I need to use the bathroom.

437
00:42:54,290 --> 00:42:56,120
Who's that?

438
00:43:27,050 --> 00:43:28,580
You're all gathered here.

439
00:43:28,580 --> 00:43:30,880
Hyungnim.

440
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,030
You're here, Your Highness the Grand Prince.

441
00:43:39,030 --> 00:43:40,990
Deputy Commander.

442
00:43:42,990 --> 00:43:45,450
I'm imitating Your Highness.

443
00:43:45,450 --> 00:43:51,050
Since Your Highness appeared at the palace without a word, I came here without a word as well.

444
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,680
I don't suppose you came to rebuke me more. What brings you here?

445
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,650
As you have shown your identity to the world now,

446
00:44:00,650 --> 00:44:05,470
wouldn't you need a distinct person to lead the rebellion?

447
00:44:11,980 --> 00:44:18,270
Are you proposing that you do that? To spearhead an army of snail brides?

448
00:44:18,270 --> 00:44:23,230
Even while Your Highness was diligently trying to achieve marriage with the daughter of the First Vice-Premier,

449
00:44:23,230 --> 00:44:25,010
the Snail Brides and Royal Merchant Band

450
00:44:25,010 --> 00:44:31,860
and all other aspects linked to the rebellion must continue to carry on without anything amiss.

451
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:42,160
<i>State Council; First Vice-Premier, Sin Soo Geun</i>

452
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,070
<i>Six Ministries </i>

453
00:44:45,070 --> 00:44:46,890
Hmm.

454
00:44:46,890 --> 00:44:52,190
Quite impressive. I thought you were just trading bags of rice.

455
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:56,630
I have a present for you too.

456
00:45:03,850 --> 00:45:07,330
We greet you, Your Highness the Grand Prince.

457
00:45:08,170 --> 00:45:12,340
These are people who have sworn to help you change this nation.

458
00:45:12,340 --> 00:45:16,220
Among them are people who've lost their families during the last Literati Purge.

459
00:45:16,220 --> 00:45:20,910
And those who were rich but had their wealth confiscated under false crime, after falling prey to the lures of treacherous men.

460
00:45:20,910 --> 00:45:23,730
And Confucian scholars who are discontented by the current state of political affairs.

461
00:45:23,730 --> 00:45:28,130
As well as warriors who aspire to make a better Joseon by contributing their strength.

462
00:45:28,130 --> 00:45:33,760
Please be a sage king admired by the heavens and the citizens.

463
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,840
Please take good care of me.

464
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,660
I'm Grand Prince Jin Seong, Lee Yeok!

465
00:45:44,660 --> 00:45:48,120
Please be our sage king.

466
00:46:02,730 --> 00:46:05,040
When Grand Prince Jin Seong was born,

467
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:11,260
the Buddhist monk that foresaw him and our Chae Gyeong as a match made in heaven and prayed for their happiness,

468
00:46:11,260 --> 00:46:17,960
why did she suddenly tell us not to trust the late king and leave behind such a terrible prophesy?

469
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:24,160
I believe something happened between the late king and the chief monk back then.

470
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:30,390
It makes me uneasy that the monk was attacked by assassins.

471
00:46:30,390 --> 00:46:37,180
By any chance, the late King was the one who killed the Buddhist monk?

472
00:46:37,180 --> 00:46:39,670
Although I can't be certain,

473
00:46:39,670 --> 00:46:47,510
when the Buddhist monk betrayed the late king and told us the news, we have to assume that something of the sort happened.

474
00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:54,440
It's just...exactly why did the late king want to kill the Buddhist monk

475
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:59,240
and what does that have to do with our Chae Gyeong's fate?

476
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:02,090
That's unknown.

477
00:47:02,090 --> 00:47:06,450
All we can do is be warned and be careful.

478
00:47:18,230 --> 00:47:22,310
<i> Are you telling me to believe this?</i>

479
00:47:22,310 --> 00:47:27,930
<i> Shortly after Grand Prince Jin Seong was born, the late King Seongjong asked to see you.</i>

480
00:47:27,930 --> 00:47:34,150
<i>In attendance was also the chief monk of Myoja Temple who served as the king's monk.</i>

481
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:41,380
<i> What about marrying the Grand Prince and your daughter?</i>

482
00:47:43,780 --> 00:47:49,570
<i> The two children were born to protect each other.</i>

483
00:47:51,750 --> 00:47:54,120
<i> It would be an honor, Your Majesty.</i>

484
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,780
<i> In honor of our promise tonight,</i>

485
00:47:57,780 --> 00:48:03,070
<i>I shall leave a tattoo as a talisman for Chae Gyeong for her safety and fortune. </i>

486
00:48:03,070 --> 00:48:04,770
<i> Alright.</i>

487
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,490
<i> After tattooing that talisman,</i>

488
00:48:15,490 --> 00:48:20,990
<i>it was a marvel that you, who used to be ridden with ailment, went on to grow for many years, healthy and unscathed. </i>

489
00:48:21,830 --> 00:48:23,490
<i>- But one day,
- Monk!</i>

490
00:48:23,490 --> 00:48:26,790
<i>the chief monk who appeared to have been attacked</i>

491
00:48:26,790 --> 00:48:29,690
<i>came to see me covered in blood. </i>

492
00:48:29,690 --> 00:48:32,890
<i> Do not trust the late king.</i>

493
00:48:32,890 --> 00:48:37,210
<i> If Chae Gyeong gets entangled with the royal family,</i>

494
00:48:37,210 --> 00:48:41,870
<i> it will spark a bloodbath in the royal council</i>

495
00:48:44,510 --> 00:48:46,390
<i> and the royal family.</i>

496
00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:49,910
<i>Chae Gyeong will bring upon the royal family . . .</i>

497
00:48:49,910 --> 00:48:51,830
<i> Then,</i>

498
00:48:53,190 --> 00:48:57,630
<i> all of the misfortunes that came upon His Highness the Grand Prince...</i>

499
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,580
<i> are because of this prophesy?</i>

500
00:49:03,590 --> 00:49:05,520
<i> It's because of me?</i>

501
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,010
<i> We're not saying it's your fault.</i>

502
00:49:08,010 --> 00:49:16,530
<i> We're just telling you that if you can avoid a fate you should not counter, you should avoid it.</i>

503
00:49:34,660 --> 00:49:38,180
<i>Sacred (神) Tree (樹)</i>

504
00:49:42,930 --> 00:49:46,450
This isn't a talisman, it's a curse.

505
00:50:04,820 --> 00:50:07,400
Chae Gyeong! Chae Gyeong!

506
00:50:25,850 --> 00:50:28,700
Where are you going?

507
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,870
I'm going to win your heart.

508
00:50:37,870 --> 00:50:39,770
I have no heart to give.

509
00:50:39,770 --> 00:50:41,740
I do.

510
00:50:55,590 --> 00:50:57,470
Sit here.

511
00:51:01,420 --> 00:51:03,140
Sit.

512
00:51:19,570 --> 00:51:25,210
Until now, all of the bad things I've done to you, the lies I've told you,

513
00:51:25,210 --> 00:51:27,490
and the things I need to apologize for...

514
00:51:27,490 --> 00:51:33,150
I've written a list of all the things I need to explain to you.

515
00:51:33,150 --> 00:51:36,660
I have nothing to ask nor am I curious about anything.

516
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:39,690
First, at that tavern—

517
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:41,970
Forget it.

518
00:51:41,970 --> 00:51:45,130
Then at the grave—

519
00:51:45,130 --> 00:51:47,610
Forget that too.

520
00:51:51,170 --> 00:51:52,840
Then...

521
00:51:57,860 --> 00:52:00,850
you're curious as to how I survived, aren't you?

522
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:13,280
While on my way to exile, I was ambushed by assassins and rolled down the dark mountainside.

523
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:18,260
At that time, I was discovered by royal merchants who were on their way back from a long journey.

524
00:52:18,260 --> 00:52:23,610
That royal merchant band is the actual owner of this pawn shop, and my partner.

525
00:52:27,060 --> 00:52:31,120
People like us buy information and sell that information to the royal merchants.

526
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,820
Then, the merchants will use that information

527
00:52:33,820 --> 00:52:37,740
to make deals and do business with the nobles.

528
00:52:37,740 --> 00:52:40,850
So, that's why you exchanged rice for information?

529
00:52:40,850 --> 00:52:44,100
Yes. Are you curious now?

530
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:45,640
No.

531
00:52:48,850 --> 00:52:55,190
Let's see. Our pawn shop's record logs are detailed enough to...

532
00:52:55,190 --> 00:52:57,140
You were also mentioned somewhere in here.

533
00:52:57,140 --> 00:52:58,810
Pardon?

534
00:52:59,790 --> 00:53:03,750
Sin Chae Gyeong. Birth name: Sin Chae Gyeong.

535
00:53:03,750 --> 00:53:05,770
Give it to me! I have to see it with my own eyes!

536
00:53:05,770 --> 00:53:08,080
I can't give it to you, of course I won't!

537
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,610
Give it to me!

538
00:53:10,610 --> 00:53:13,440
The First Vice Premier's daughter, Sin Chae Gyeong, is so ugly

539
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,370
despite reaching the ripe age of marriage, she is unable to marry.

540
00:53:17,370 --> 00:53:20,530
Ugly? Who wrote that nonsense?! Give that to me!

541
00:53:20,530 --> 00:53:25,680
Whenever Grand Prince Jin Seong's death anniversary rolls around, she drinks loads of alcohol and becomes dead drunk.

542
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,120
Give it to me!

543
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,460
Whenever she sees anyone who resembles Grand Prince Jin Seong, she asks, "Are you a ghost?" and—

544
00:53:30,460 --> 00:53:32,970
Your Highness!

545
00:53:32,970 --> 00:53:34,940
Wow,

546
00:53:34,940 --> 00:53:38,010
you missed me this much.

547
00:53:38,010 --> 00:53:39,710
Who missed you?

548
00:53:40,390 --> 00:53:45,790
Now, you're not curious about anything? Are you telling me to believe that right now?

549
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:49,250
I'm not curious about anything so just give me that.

556
00:54:43,810 --> 00:54:46,960
I've become curious about one thing.

557
00:54:48,710 --> 00:54:54,750
Back then, were you seriously injured?

558
00:55:01,450 --> 00:55:03,640

whether you're really not in pain anymore.

567

591
00:58:50,340 --> 00:58:54,990
Grand Prince Jin Seong continues to evade our tail and keeps disappearing.

592
00:58:54,990 --> 00:58:58,600
As it is said, if you know your enemy and yourself, you will win all your battles.

593
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,520
If you know nothing about where Grand Prince Jin Seong is and what he is doing,

594
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,210
how will you prepare for war?

595
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:11,300
Still, there's no reason we have to use Chae Gyeong.

596
00:59:11,300 --> 00:59:16,000
Yes, there is: love.

597
00:59:18,290 --> 00:59:23,430
Although you can fool everyone else in the world, it's difficult to fool your lover's eyes

598
00:59:23,430 --> 00:59:28,350
and it's difficult to deny your lover's heart.

599
00:59:28,350 --> 00:59:32,810
Therefore, there is no one better suited for the role.

600
00:59:34,670 --> 00:59:38,520
Then all the more reason we cannot use her! All the more we cannot

601
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,110
use Chae Gyeong as Yeok's spy.

602
00:59:42,110 --> 00:59:46,230
Love? Those two?

603
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,560
It's simply pity and guilt.

604
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,120
It hasn't even been that long since they've met as adults.

605
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,830
How many times have they met for them to love each other?

606
00:59:57,830 --> 01:00:01,610
If that is the definition of love, then Chae Gyeong is capable of loving

607
01:00:01,610 --> 01:00:05,440
everything and anything that exists in this world!

608
01:00:08,030 --> 01:00:12,840
Among those things, Grand Prince Jin Seong must be special.

609
01:00:19,570 --> 01:00:22,690
At the pawnshop earlier,

610
01:00:22,690 --> 01:00:27,690
you clearly said "we" and "our pawn shop".

611
01:00:28,350 --> 01:00:33,040
Aside from you, are there many more members?

612
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,550
I think I met two people last time.

613
01:00:36,550 --> 01:00:43,620
One of them had a long face and another had a round face.

614
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:50,190
Young Master Jo, Young Master Baek. All are my buddies.

615
01:00:51,430 --> 01:00:54,920
And there is one more person.

616
01:00:56,820 --> 01:01:03,700
<i>Subtitles brought to you by The History Tellers @ Viki</i>

620
01:01:11,830 --> 01:01:16,060
Why is Seo No your friend? He's my friend— no, he's our friend.

621
01:01:16,060 --> 01:01:18,860
How are you with Seo No?

622
01:01:18,860 --> 01:01:23,380
As soon as I recovered my health, he was the first I went to find.

623

Earlier, you should have called him too. It would have been nice for all of us to have met.

624
01:01:27,700 --> 01:01:31,710
Tell Seo No to come to my house tomorrow to exchange greetings.

625
01:01:33,340 --> 01:01:35,160
Did you hear what I just said?

626
01:01:35,770 --> 01:01:38,080
Between Seo No and me,

627
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,390
who did you miss more?

628
01:01:41,070 --> 01:01:43,270
Of course that's—

629
01:01:44,190 --> 01:01:45,290
Seo No.

630
01:01:45,290 --> 01:01:46,430
You're lying.

631
01:01:46,430 --> 01:01:51,310
I'm being serious. Right now, I miss Seo No more because

632
01:01:51,310 --> 01:01:54,010
I'm staring at your face so much until I get sick and tired of it.

633
01:01:54,010 --> 01:01:57,380
Did anyone ask about now? I asked about the past!

634
01:01:57,380 --> 01:02:02,800
Now is more important and the future is even more important.

635
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:08,150
So, you should also stare at my face as much as you can

636
01:02:08,150 --> 01:02:11,430
because we won't be able to meet again.

637
01:02:11,430 --> 01:02:13,690
What are you talking about right now?

638
01:02:16,090 --> 01:02:19,810
I came out to meet you with the intent of today being our last.

639
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,280
Let's stop seeing each other.

640
01:02:31,130 --> 01:02:32,780
I don't want to!

641
01:02:37,230 --> 01:02:40,260
<i> Why would time be important?</i>

642
01:02:40,890 --> 01:02:45,580
<i> One fleeting glance, one gust of wind that carries their breaths,</i>

643
01:02:46,190 --> 01:02:48,470
<i> even at the tips of their fingertips that meet,</i>

644
01:02:48,470 --> 01:02:52,540
<i> love soon develops.</i>

645
01:02:54,190 --> 01:03:01,940
♫ <i> I want to hold you, the one whose brilliance chills my heart </i> ♫

646
01:03:01,940 --> 01:03:09,530
♫ <i> I'm afraid you might fly away when the wind blows </i> ♫

647
01:03:09,530 --> 01:03:13,460
<i> Queen for Seven Days 
♫ <i> Because your smile and tears fill my heart </i> ♫</i>

648
01:03:13,460 --> 01:03:15,470
<i> Tell me the true reason</i>

649
01:03:15,470 --> 01:03:18,320
<i> you wish to marry Chae Gyeong.</i>

650
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,120
<i> My only reason is Chae Gyeong herself.</i>

651
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,090
<i> You're the prettiest when you sleep, my Chae Gyeong.</i>

652
01:03:25,090 --> 01:03:28,730
<i> It's not just an ordinary marriage; it's one of the steps to achieve our ultimate goal.</i>

653
01:03:28,730 --> 01:03:32,270
<i> Now, you can use everything you need to become the King.</i>

654
01:03:32,270 --> 01:03:36,830
<i> If Grand Prince Jin Seong plots treason, whose side will you stand on?</i>

655
01:03:36,830 --> 01:03:40,950
<i> Because you're so precious, I'm afraid of that prophecy.</i>

656
01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:43,700
<i> There has to be nothing the King cannot have!</i>

657
01:03:43,700 --> 01:03:46,240
<i> Please look forward to it. Starting with Chae Gyeong,</i>

658
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,460
<i> I'll take back everything that was mine.</i>
