Episode 10

I am extremely exhausted right now.

Moreover, the pain in my heart that I can't bear

is completely occupying it.

Therefore, you

need to help me to forget about all of it.

This pain in my heart,

you have to put it to rest.

Do you think you can do it?

Answer me. Do you think you can do it?

Please allow me to do so.

If Your Majesty permits,

the misfortune and death that threaten you,

I will prevent them from harming you.

Your head,

lift it up.

Lift it.

That is an order.

I came because I was worried about His Majesty's health.

Do not report this

to His Majesty.

Is anyone outside?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please give your order.

Call the royal physician.

What?

Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?

It's not me who is unwell,

it is that child.

Your Majesty, that cannot be done.

What can't be?

The royal physician treats only the royal family.

How can he treat a lowly shaman?

In my place, doesn't she block bad luck and misfortune as a human talisman?

If she is not feeling well, then it will also have an influence on me.

So this is not for her, but for me.

Call him immediately.

But Your Majesty...

Royal command. It's a royal command!

Why did you come out?

He ordered everyone to leave the palace.

What is that?

While we were searching the shaman, this came out.

It looks like a letter.

It seems the wicked girl was going to give His Majesty a love letter.

Take a look at it.

Your Highness.

It was definitely

the look of a man looking at a woman.

This pain in my heart,

you have to put it to rest.

The misfortune and death that threaten Your Majesty,

I will prevent them from harming you.

What is this?

This was found when searching the shaman.

I think that it was meant for Your Majesty.

If you decline it, I will take it away.

Leave it.

Weeds are useless for hunger.

Wild herbs are not beautiful but they are useful.

Shamans are not humans, but they are people.

Although shamans are not deemed as humans,

we still want to be your people.

You're not even a human,

but you dare put a hand on my body?

"Shamans are your subjects and humans too,

so don't ignore us".

It's short and delivers a powerful blow.

It is amazing that a shaman knows Chinese characters,

and it's even more amazing that shaman is able to write such beautiful words.

Look at these characters, Hyung Sun.

How can you say that

a 13 year old girl wrote this?

I thought she was wise,

but she's foolish, isn't she?

I...

I...

How can I forget about you?

How can I forget about you?

Your Majesty.

What is it?

That child...

is a shaman.

Who said she isn't?

I am the one who served you your whole life.

How could I not understand what you are thinking?

Please,

do not let your heart waver.

What you are saying is

that I will waver because of a shaman?

That child...

is not Miss Yeon Woo.

Miss Yeon Woo is already-

Shut it. Shut it. Shut your mouth!

Your Majesty.

I can't stand looking at you, so turn around for the time being.

Last night,

the Queen came to the palace and left.

She threw away her pride as a woman

and came here with difficulty. But when she had to turn back,

how do you think the Queen felt?

So please,

understand the Queen's feelings.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

What is the fuss about?

There is word that His Majesty is coming to Gyo Tae Palace.

Hurry.

Hurry and bring my accessories over.

- Quickly. - Yes.

Did you say His Majesty

has gone to Gyo Tae Palace?

Yes, Your Highness.

I saw it myself while coming here.

Thus far, the Queen has endured a lot of heartache.

Her sincerity is what made His Majesty open his heart to her.

It is truly remarkable.

What?

After receiving the shaman at his palace,

everything is becoming comfortable.

How is that

because of that child?

It is because every day the sincere worry about His Majesty

that you have

has reached the Heavens.

Just by being by his side, his body has become stronger,

and for their troubled relations to be resolved,

she is worthy of being Shaman Jang's spiritual daughter.

I think we must tell Gwansanggam

to pick another auspicious date for the consummation.

What?

A date has already been set, so why?

Because of His Majesty's refusal,

every time we put effort into picking a date,

it turned out to be a waste of time, didn't it?

Now, His Majesty's body is strong

and it seems like their relationship is improving,

how can we elude this opportunity?

However,

after taking into consideration the union and other factors,

there probably won't be many auspicious days left.

The heavens are helping us.

How can we wait one month?

We have to advance the date as much as we can.

You do not look well.

Is there a concern you have that you cannot talk about?

For me,

besides being concerned about Your Majesty's well-being,

what else is there to be concerned about?

It is just that

I was not able to sleep well last night.

Last night,

I heard you came by Gang Nyung Palace.

I apologize.

I know it was wrong, but

I was worried about your health, so I...

What were you trying to monitor?

What?

Monitor?

How can you say such improper-

No matter what you saw or heard,

there was no one in my bedroom.

If you saw something,

that was the talisman that Gwansanggam used.

Is it a month later?

What are you referring to?

Our consummation date.

The doctors and Gwansanggam have asked

for us to distance ourselves and

purify our body and soul.

Therefore,

don't come to Gang Nyung Palace again.

Is that what you mean?

Looks like you understand.

What exactly are you trying to hide?

Enough for you to block my visits.

The thing that Your Majesty is trying to hide.

What is it?

Is it love?

A dead girl was not enough.

Are you keeping a lowly shaman close to your heart now?

Court Lady Jo.

Yes, Your Highness.

Among the King's attendants, see if there is anyone we can use?

What? [Gi Mil - a secretive member of the court]

Why a secretive attendant?

If you find someone useful,

tell her to watch the shaman that is by His Majesty's side every night,

and report everything to me.

Your Highness.

Shaman?

Look closely at my face.

The woman who came here with me last night,

do you not remember her?

Oh! I do remember.

Because she was so gentle and dignified,

I thought she was aristocratic.

She is a shaman?

Has she come again since then?

She hasn't if I remember correctly.

Alright.

Just hang on for a moment.

I will take you to a physician.

And also,

I am not an ahjussi, Kiddo!

She was filled with such evil

that we sent her far away to the south.

Although I am thankful for your words,

I am in a safe place now.

She did not even register her name,

and committed a promiscuous offense.

That is why we were arresting her.

I am Wol.

One of the two is lying to me for sure,

but for what reason would you lie?

Brother!

B- brother?

You were alive!

Hold on!

Looking at you,

you don't look like a gisaeng.

Not a gisaeng, a shaman.

I am a palace shaman.

A palace shaman?

Mystical stone,

don't you remember?

Mystical stone?

Before our knees can touch the ground, the child who foretold everything?

Wow, you've become a woman already.

I almost didn't recognize you.

Have you been well?

Since Mistress took me in,

I am not a fake, but a real shaman.

That's a relief.

Just now,

did you say you're a shaman?

Yeah. I belong to Seongsucheong.

The safest place for a shaman is inside the capital.

A place where shamans can freely enter the capital.

Among the Seongsucheong shamans,

is there a shaman named Wol?

Wol-

I told you watch your mouth so many times.

Do I have to sew your mouth shut before you come to your senses?!

Even if you see, pretend you didn't.

Even if you heard, pretend you didn't.

I told you not to say a word!

Did I say something again?

The moon and the sun,

I dare you to say them again.

I dare you to talk about anything regarding the miss!

On that day,

your limbs will be torn from your body!

I don't know.

The name Wol...

I'm hearing it for the first time.

Don't be like this! Think about it carefully.

I really don't know.

There is no such name at Seongsucheong.

Hey, Jan Sil!

- I'm coming! - You're not coming?

How long do you plan on chatting?

Brother,

if it's destined, I'll see you again.

H- hey...

If she's not in Seongsucheong,

then where is she?

You were excited about leaving the palace,

but what is wrong with your expression?

I'm sorry, Brother.

Really. I'm really sorry.

Miss.

Miss!

Miss.

What is it?

Did you have that dream again?

You didn't have it for a while.

Why are you dreaming it again?

I know.

This time...

weren't you able to see his face?

This time,

I really wanted to see it.

This time I would have been able to see it.

Miss,

are you really that curious about the face behind the mask?

Every night,

you are by his side, protecting him.

I was taken aback by your letter.

How much you resented me,

I was able to figure out with plenty to spare.

I do not resent you.

You say you do not,

but your words were chastising me.

Am I wrong about what I saw?

A sincere remonstration and personal feelings of resentment

are two different things.

You were not resenting me,

but chastising me is true.

I only wanted to write...

just like how the rocks on the side of a street

have a reason for their existence.

I, as a shaman, am a citizen of Your Majesty's nation,

so I will do all of my duties.

As a virtuous king,

are you blaming me for ignoring the thoughts of this nation's citizens?

It wasn't to bring about my inquiry?

Ignoring the writer's intentions,

if the reader lets his prejudice and subjectivity intervene,

then a misunderstanding arises.

If Your Majesty felt that way,

then there is a reason why you felt that way, isn't there?

Those words sounds like,

I was prejudiced and could not see the true meaning behind the letter,

and that my politics are wrong, right?

I didn't mean that-

Cute. Cute. Since I treated you like that, you are now crossing the line.

Have you forgotten who you are speaking to?

I am this nation, Joseon's...

I am this nation, Joseon's...

Is anyone there?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please give your royal command.

I am exasperated.

I need to go for a walk, so prepare for it.

The night wind is cold.

How about waiting until tomorrow for the walk...

Didn't you hear me say I was exasperated?!

Hurry with the preparations.

What are you doing?

Yes?

At one time, you said you would protect me from evil spirits,

but why aren't you doing your job now?

You are my talisman,

so quickly follow me.

Follow me from a distance.

I told you to step back and follow me!

Woon,

you step back, as well.

You stay where you are.

You are my talisman, aren't you?

Go further back!

Let go!

Yeon Woo.

Yeon Woo!

Your Highness.

By any chance, in this place...

did Your Majesty bury your memories and pain?

The person who shed tears here once,

was it you, Your Majesty?

Exactly,

what did you see?

Did you see it with your spiritual powers?

That is correct.

Then,

use your powers to guess.

Guess what?

What do you think I will be doing next?

Today, Hyung Sun said something very strange to me.

What do you think about it?

Do you believe that I can harbor feelings

for a lowly shaman like you?

Why are you doing this?

What are you doing?

Go after them.

Exactly,

who are you?

I am Shaman Wol.

No!

You are not Wol.

Then,

who am I?

To me who lived as a nameless shaman,

Your Majesty gave the name Wol.

Me...

Do you really not know me?

Really...

have you never met me?

Your Majesty,

whose trace are you looking for in me?

Through me...

who are you looking at?

Yeon Woo,

is it her?

What is the reason you allow me to stay by your side?

Is it because

I look like that person?

But I...

am not her.

Enough. Shut that mouth!

You are crossing the line now.

Just because I have allowed you by my side,

do you think I have given you my heart?

You are just a lowly talisman,

no more and no less than that!

Who are you to...

A nothing like you...

Someone like you...

Would dare...

to confuse me.

Do not come close to me.

If you cross the line again,

I will not forgive you.

I will be sleeping alone tonight,

so you do not need to follow me in.

Woon,

without letting her know,

escort her back.

Also,

on your way back, there is somewhere you need to go.

Just because I have allowed you by my side,

do you think I have given you my heart?

You are just a lowly talisman,

no more and no less than that!

In the time you should be by His Majesty's side,

why are you standing out here?

Did something happen?

Mistress,

who exactly...

am I?

When I was wandering around on my own after being abandoned by my parents,

you felt a spiritual power...

so you took me in, right?

Why are you suddenly asking that?

In the last few days,

I keep seeing weird memories.

They are certainly someone else's memories,

but they feel so strongly as my own.

So I am confused.

Because you are unable to control your power completely,

you are mistaking them for yours.

So,

do not connect with the past.

I...

cannot be the owner of those memories, right?

No matter how I resemble her,

I cannot be that person, right?

Who is it?

Your Excellency, Prince Yang Myung, you startled me!

I did it to startle you.

What?

Why do you climb over the wall every time to come in?

Oh, that is...

because I'm more comfortable with this wall than the front door.

On top of that, it's past the curfew.

It was hard to slip past the patrols!

Come now.

Let's go in and have a drink.

Jae Woon.

What brings you here this late at night?

You startled me.

How can you appear without making a sound?

You didn't climb over the wall like me, did you?

It is such a late hour after all.

Did you come as a royal messenger,

or as a friend?

His Majesty has ordered the Prince Consort to enter the palace.

Why did he order my presence so suddenly?

Well,

before His Majesty gives an order,

you're not one to talk.

Since I have relayed the command, I will be going now.

Already?

I have left my position long enough.

Our Yeon Woo

said it was a birthday present and made it for me.

Then,

this is your sister's handwriting?

That is right.

Her handwriting is extraordinary.

Not just her handwriting,

but her deep understanding of Chinese Literature,

it was enough to pity the fact that she was born a girl.

More than that,

she was a thoughtful and respectful child.

But, why do you ask that?

It is because

her writing caught my eye so I asked.

Who sent you?

The reason why you are watching over the Prince Consort's residence,

what is it?

You're...

Kim Jae Woon, that man, to finally have an interest in women

is really remarkable.

It is an unprecedented event.

What do you mean woman?

It is not like that.

What do you mean it isn't?

Anyway,

a woman is a woman.

Anyway, the same goes for you, Your Excellency.

I heard you have a lover.

I guess Princess Min Hwa tattled on me.

Is it true?

I thought it was a joke,

but I guess it is true.

What kind of person is she?

Well,

what kind of person is she?

To tell you the truth, I don't know either.

What?

Do you know that...

Actually, eight years ago,

the night before the final selection,

I climbed over this house's wall.

Will you go with me?

I can throw away my prince hood,

the title of Prince Yang Myung, all of it,

wrap you up in a parcel and run away with you.

But,

do you know how your sister answered?

Your joke is too much.

Her sparkling eyes were so firm

that I could say no more.

Your Excellency.

But you know,

if on that day I...

did not conceal my sincerity by laughing...

Deceiving yourself

and living like that

is an awful way of living, isn't it?

If I had more courage,

and extended my hand...

If I had tried my best,

and asked her to run away with me...

Would that child...

be by my side?

You haven't gone to bed, yet?

Where have you been this late at night?

You got hurt.

How did that happen?

Just...

while practicing with my sword,

I cut myself accidentally.

Come here so I can take a look at it.

I'm really okay.

Only my clothes were cut and there is no wound.

Where exactly did you go?

Just...

to my previous owners.

They must have been wonderful people

for you to visit them after all this time.

Yes.

They were really

good people.

I, who was treated worse than an animal,

was treated as a person by them.

They gave me a beautiful name, Seol.

Miss,

you were that kind of person.

Both of us are aging,

but your sister in my memory

remains thirteen.

Ilsubultae.

Once you put down a piece,

you cannot ever move or change its place.

Certainly,

you taught me that way, right?

[For the Crown Prince]

[For the Crown Prince] A person's heart is the same thing.

Once a heart decides, it is not easy to change it.

So regardless of the results of the selection,

I will...

never forget the Crown Prince.

[For the Crown Prince]

Are you a ghost,

or a person?

You are...

It is me, Brother.

What are you doing here at this time?

I am sorry, Brother.

I was wrong.

Sorry?

For what?

The person that you are looking for...

I will help you meet her.

Brother,

because you are my life savior,

I will pay you back, no matter what.

Even if my limbs are torn from my body,

I will surely pay you back.

I will make sure you meet her.

So don't be in too much pain, okay?

Whose trace are you looking for in me?

Through me...

who are you looking at?

Please return to your room.

I am well enough to be alone now.

No, it is okay.

Until you regain your energy,

I will not leave your side.

Because of you, Princess, I am feeling much better.

I will not be sad anymore...

Mother.

Princess is here, as well?

She was worried I would be lonely,

so she has not left my side since yesterday.

Thank you for being so caring towards my mother.

We're a married couple, so there is no need for such words.

Husband,

are you going to the palace?

Yes.

I received a royal command last night.

Why are you only telling me now?

If you had told me,

I would have gone with you.

I did not even think of that.

Next time, I will certainly tell you.

I will be going then, Mother.

So that you are not troublesome to His Majesty,

conduct yourself well.

Since he is going to the palace alone,

are you angry?

It is not that I am angry.

I am uneasy.

Uneasy?

What are you uneasy about?

Because if Husband enters the palace...

Teacher!

Why has it been so long since I have seen you?

If I do not request your presence,

were you not going to show me your face?

Your Majesty.

I will first extend my courtesy towards you,

so please sit down.

No need for that.

I say, quickly bring the refreshments.

Also, I will be chatting with my teacher privately,

do not let anyone enter and everyone retreat.

What do you mean the Prince Consort has entered the palace?

Is that even proper of him to do so?

He should live his life quietly and then die.

He has become a Prince Consort,

so how dare he enter the palace in broad daylight?

That is true.

As the princess's husband,

He cannot participate in politics of course,

and forbidden to converse about Chinese literature,

since that is the law.

It is dangerous.

Thanks to him, among the palace maids,

I'm about to fall in my ranks.

What do you mean... rank?

Inside the palace,

if you quibble over the handsome men here,

after Woon, it is me, isn't it?

But if he comes and shakes everything up,

what am I to do?!

Is there even something to be shaken?

If by any chance,

this is His Majesty's way of bringing together all the dispersed nobles...

However,

Heo Yeom, that man,

is not the type to shake up politics.

Heo Yeom is missing,

so he is important to them.

Just with his presence,

the party can unite.

Maybe,

he will surpass his father's, Heo Young Jae, influence.

Heo Yeom,

a man whose wings were clipped,

what exactly brought him to the palace?

What...

is this?

[For the Crown Prince]

It is the last letter that my sister left.

Because it is the past,

I thought about leaving it buried,

but I thought returning the letter to its owner

was the right thing to do.

Is this really...

a letter that Maiden Yeon Woo left for me?

That is correct.

Maiden Yeon Woo...

the last letter that she left for me...

While she was alive,

the person she cared for besides our father

was you, Your Majesty.

Since it is the letter of a sinner,

you may burn it.

But if you were the one to do it,

if you do it,

my sister in heaven would be happy.

So please,

forget about my sister now.

Your Majesty now has

the Queen by your side.

Please do not make the Queen lonely any longer.

If Your Majesty continues

to stay in the shadows of that child,

I doubt that is what my sister would have wanted.

This is our earnest request,

so please accept it.

Your Majesty.

Everyone...

keeps telling me to forget her.

Your Excellency Prince Consort,

please come to the palace more frequently from now on.

Although His Majesty does not say so,

he misses you terribly.

Since I have become Prince Consort,

how can I frequent the palace?

Please,

stay by His Majesty's side,

and take good care of him.

It is you, Your Excellency Prince Consort,

who should have stayed by His Majesty's side.

[Letter to the Crown Prince]

Your Highness Crown Prince.

I am writing to you

with the last of my strength.

This may be burned,

or may not be delivered to you,

but I am still writing to you.

This girl,

before I die,

just by meeting you, Crown Prince,

made me very happy.

So please,

stop blaming yourself.

And what has happened to me,

please make them your memory.

Father

will be bringing the medicine soon.

If so,

I probably won't ever see you again.

So please,

forget about me,

and please be healthy enough for both of us.

Please become a great king who looks out for his people.

This child was worried about my health.

Even until the moment of her final breath,

she used her last strength to write me a letter.

But I, the King...

I...

Your Majesty.

How much pain she must have had.

How lonely she must have been.

That steady handwriting...

has become so loose and weak.

Hyung Sun.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Tell the lady at Bujajo

to bring her belongings.

Yes.

I cannot remember...

Yeon Woo's handwriting.

I can't remember it.

I have to see it.

The letter she gave me.

I have to see it again.

Your command...

I will obey.

After taking a walk at night,

His Majesty ordered the talisman

not to enter his room.

A walk?

At such a late time,

they went for a walk together?

Since before,

whenever he was not feeling well,

he went for walks.

Then,

after that, did anything else happen?

Not much-

Oh.

After the Prince Consort visited this morning,

His Majesty seemed very troubled.

He suddenly told a court lady to bring a box.

A box?

Yes.

It looked like an ordinary box,

but on the lid,

the Chinese character for rain was inscribed in it.

Just now,

did you say "rain" (woo)?

[Rain]

Woon.

Please give your command.

Wol.

Bring Wol.

Bring Wol here immediately!

You...

Do you recognize me?

For 15 years, I learned hard enough to die for today.

Really enough to die?

I was happy then.

If you didn't rouse me like this...

What I need is a woman and a wife.

What happened?

Where is our In Joo?!

Mommy.

Ahjumma, you're not my mom.

Why are you like this? I am your mom.

Everyone knows that soon the sauce flavors of Arirang will be lost.

If you do not have heavenly taste identification ability,

there will be no solution.

That child is the owner.
