Episode 19.

This person is the Night Scholar.

What? The Night Scholar? -That person is the Night Scholar?

Fine.

Aigoo... Night Scholar.

Over there is the village where the vampire appeared.

Since those people also helped the vampire,

kill them all.

What?

We can't find a single mouse.

It seems they have already sensed us and escaped this place.

Is he saying he wants to play?

Add a reward to

finding Kim Sung Yeol and his men.

An amount big enough

to even sell out their own family members.

I am The Night Scholar.- No, I am The Night Scholar!

Look at them.

They gained hope through you.

Even when it's like this, do you still think that you are no different than Gwi?

Since the people need hope right now,

they look at me

and only see the Night Scholar.

But...

I'm a being that was created to get rid of Gwi.

I'm a being that should be destroyed along with Gwi.

What the people need right now is not me,

it's you.

Don't say things like that.

Just like those you have saved,

we should also end this fight

and return to the people that are precious to us.

Cherish Yang Sun.

Potatoes!

Ha! Take this!

Thank you.

You should eat, too.

Ah, look at my mind.

It's okay.

Can I ask you one thing?

Crown Prince Junghyun who you used to serve,

I've become curious about what type of person he was.

I'm sure he was a righteous and capable person

possessing all the qualities to become a good king.

I still don't have the right to face

the people and those

who have died for me.

Crown Prince Junghyun

was my master who had big plans

as well as a playful friend.

He would always roam outside the palace

and enjoyed writing erotic books.

He loved giving others a hard time

with lustful jokes.

Is that so?

I'm not sure about erotic books,

but I have some knowledge on erotic pictures.

From what I see, you and Crown Prince Junghyun,

only you two,

have a rightful seat as the king.

Is that so?

Have you been waiting for His Lordship all night?

Didn't you also wait for him all night while writing?

- I sent Ho Jin so there should be news soon. -Aigoo, aigoo!

Aigoo.

There is trouble!

What is it?

His Lordship's story has completely spread in

front of the capital and out of it as well!

It's completely spread!

They say that His Lordship is going around with the His Majesty and saving the people.

On a dark and silent night, the vampire approached the woman.

Adults and children alike have completely fallen into the Night Scholar's story.

Now, even a supplement story is about to come out.

And then he "Baah"!

The people are ripping his 'wanted' pictures as soon as they are put up

so the soldiers are furious.

The Scholars are having meetings about the Night Scholar book

and they are planning the previous king's rise to the throne again.

And among the people,

black robes in this nation are being sold quickly.

Aigoo...

This is all thanks to His Lordship's actions

and your incredible writing skills.

Is that true?

And even among that,

do you know what the people are most interested in?

What will happen in the finale of the Night Scholar series?

They're the most curious about how the Night Scholar series will end!

In the end, of course...

Right?

But anyway, the Scholar-

he will return soon.

Don't worry too much.

Thanks to the people who have recognized our plans,

movement has become easy.

This is all thanks to you and Yang Sun.

That's a relief.

But as the black robe group's identity becomes known,

you could be in danger.

And as the people get involved in the fight,

I'm worried that our sacrifices will get bigger.

Since Gwi's self-fabricated plan is being exposed to the entire nation,

he won't be able to waver the people's hearts

even if he spreads more vampires.

He's someone who is the worst of the worst.

Since we don't know what evil plan he will use to disturb the people again,

we need to hurry and find a way to kill him.

Whatever method that may be, it cannot be a method

where innocent people, you,

and Yang Sun's sacrifice are involved.

But without shedding blood,

we won't be able to win in the fight.

Your Majesty, I'll come in.

The people who have lost their families to the vampire

are coming to find us saying they want to enter the black robe group.

I can't do that.

Although I'm thankful for their thoughts, I can't put the

people in the front-lines in the fight against the vampire,

so tell them that I will pay back their resentment in their place.

I understand.

And the people also came to offer you their horses and cattle.

I'm turning away all of them as your commanded.

In the secret plan needed to get rid of Gwi,

I've thought about why the king's determination is needed.

Although the reason we haven't been able to kill Gwi

was because we were afraid,

it's because the ones who were greedy for power needed his help.

If the mother's relation and the guardian angel

meet, do they gain the power to get rid of Gwi?

That power can also drive the world

into destruction, just like Gwi's.

That's exactly it.

It's warning us.

Uncontrollable power will result in catastrophe.

The responsibility for pulling that kind of power in is not on you or the people,

it's on the previous kings who set up this country and me.

Even if this nation is set straight again after this fight is over,

if the new king cannot remember this lesson

and lose his will,

disaster can always come to find us again.

If we get rid of Gwi, wouldn't you have to ascend to

the throne again so this nation can become straight?

This fight is also a fight to pay for my sins that I have committed to the people.

Whether I ascend the throne or not, that's something the people will decide, not me.

Look, Kim Sung Yeol.

After this fight is over, is it possible for you to accept me as your friend?

Your Majesty, I have bet my life on this fight.

I have, too.

But... we're doing so because we're fighting to live.

Even if the king's friend is a vampire, does it not matter?

Your Majesty, the soldiers are coming.

Please hurry and escape.

What is this, why? -Why would those bastards come in all the way here?

I know that the traitorous Black Cloaks are hiding here.

Everyone that blocks us will all be arrested!

I, I am with the Black Cloaks.

Capture me.

Me, too. Kill me as you wish!

Take me as well!

Capture them all!

Yes.

Stop there.

If you are this nation's subject, do not scare the people.

This person is no longer the king. Didn't His.

Majesty say he was going to give a big reward?

Hurry and take them!

Yes.

I do not wish to take your lives.

However, anyone who crosses this line will die.

This place is dangerous now since it has been discovered.

Please leave to Eum Seok Gol.

Go ahead. I will soon follow after checking if the Queen is safe.

So?

This was the officer in charge of that village.

Although I discovered their hideout, all the people

came out wearing black robes protecting them, so I could not capture them.

You could not take them?

That is correct...

But since I discovered their hideout-

Isn't he foolish?

He asks for a reward even after watching them run away.

The talk of the town is that all the vampire problems

are the King's self-fabrication.

Those rumors are spreading.

You won't be able to control all of the people with violence.

No. There's no need for me to find them one by one and scare them.

They'll realize it themselves after they see the

person they follow and trust the most get hurt.

Then, the King-

No... that person, Lee Yoon?

Lord! My Lord!

Nothing big happened? What about your health-

I am okay.

All of the activities you and His Majesty were engaged in are

spreading mouth-to-mouth in every nook and cranny of the land.

I need to hurry and tell Jo that you are here.

Don't.

Why?

It has been a long time for them. There will

be a lot of things they will have to resolve.

Ah.

And so the Night Scholar who rose once again with the help of the people

returned back to his lover and hugged her tightly.

How can you peek like that?

It seems your fame has surpassed the Lustful Student's.

Everyone is curious to see how the last novel of the Night Scholar will turn out.

What do you think will happen?

I'm not sure.

How could I know your heart?

It will probably be a very obvious and common ending.

The Night Scholar lived well with the woman he loved forever.

The people must have a lot of complaints about

the heroic novel turning into a love story.

It is my heart.

But Scholar, are you okay?

Yes, your trust became a big strength to me.

Do you remember the youngest child among the

maidens that were captured as offerings?

That child... what happened to her?

She is safe.

She asked me to say hello to you.

Did you save that child?

That child,

and you, saved me.

Yang Sun.

♬ All the lights in the world, saturated just like that ♬.

The reason I wrote... although it was to let the people know of your true self,

it was also because of longing.

Longing in my heart was overflowing

but I couldn't just let it flow or put it back

in, so that's why I poured everything in a book.

I know.

Didn't you miss me, Scholar?

I missed you.

Then now since the one you missed is in front of you, you know what to do.

Well... I'm don't know about that.

♬ As much as I can’t see anything ♬

♬ my eyes are blinded by tears ♬

♬ Since you gave me memories, Love. Don't cry. ♬.

You are saying that you couldn't meet The Queen?

The security in the palace has been tightened since quite a while ago.

My movements must have been noticed by Gwi.

But you still need to find out.

I will contact everyone who is connected to the Chief Minister.

I ask of you.

Tell her that I will be coming to save her.

I'll stay at Eum Seok Gol for a short while, so

when you reach contact, come over there.

Queen, you must be safe.

Although it's good that the people are becoming aware of Gwi's identity,

Gwi won't stand still either.

If a large mass of people could gather to kill Gwi,

then he wouldn't have been able to live for

that long period of time governing the palace.

If we don't hurry and find a way to get rid of Gwi,

countless number of the people may shed blood.

Uhm...

I thought of this

last time I went to the underground palace.

Was it a good thought?

The underground palace where Gwi is,

can't we just destroy everything?

Why?

Isn't it a good plan?

Explode the underground palace?

Maybe it's because you're a writer, but your imagination is amazing.

You know how Gwi can't roam outside in the daylight.

If we use explosives then-

If it was that easy, then we would've already done that.

It's an underground palace that has preserved itself over hundreds of years.

It would make only minor damage with explosives.

In order to destroy it enough to get rid of Gwi,

we'll need to go inside and install the explosives there as well.

And the fact

that you would carry that many explosives and

go into the deepest parts of the palace,

it doesn't make sense I tell you.

Is that so?

It won't even work if all the people have a rebellion?

Even if we somehow break though the guards and enter,

Gwi won't stay still.

He will sense our movements

and will kill after coming out of the underground palace.

However-

Please find another way.

It's not entirely impossible.

Lord.

While I'm battling Gwi,

you can just destroy that place.

Anyway, it seems like my thoughts were short.

When I think about it, getting into the castle is really difficult.

R-right!

You can't do that, Lord.

What about just taking my blood,

and finding a way to control your strength?

Oh, that's it, that one!

Hae Seo, the one who made me into a guardian vampire,

was a guardian vampire who lived for hundreds of years.

It might have been possible for him because of that but

I am different from that.

So I don't know how long it will take.

By chance, if I mix my blood into his water and serve it to him...

No, no.

Wait. He was fine before when he only drank one drop

so should I try increasing the amount bit by bit?

Since that way, the one who eats meat well is the person who has chewed it.

Is that not it?

"Ate well" what?

Y-Your Majesty!

Since my heart's burden towards you is still big,

I can't even tease you as I wish.

It's a relief seeing that you are safe.

You came to see the Scholar, right?

Please enter.

The capital is extremely quiet.

When I was in the palace, I couldn't wait to escape,

but now I'm someone

who can't roam the capitol freely, let alone the palace.

If so, the Queen...

Since the security has been tightened,

it's been a while since my spy hasn't been able to monitor.

In this situation, any news is news.

Your Majesty.

There is one way to destroy Gwi.

Without using the Secret Plan?

What is it? Hurry and tell me.

Explode the Underground palace

and make that into his grave.

It's not that I haven't thought about that method as well.

But there's no way Gwi will just stay still.

I will enter that place

and tie him.

If I attack with desperation,

I will be able to buy time to set off the explosives.

How can you say that?

If you do that, you will-

Did I not tell you?

I...

am a being that should disappear along with Gwi.

How can you speak of it that easily?

Yang Sun's misery as she has to live on without you,

do you not think about it?

Rather than hastily using the Secret Plan and harming her,

right now this is the only plan I can think of.

You can't.

I won't commit another sin towards that child.

And didn't you promise you would

become my friend after this fight was over?

We are fighting to protect those important to us.

We are not fighting to lose them.

Put that method away.

Since the people's strength is gathering, wait for now.

It seems things are not going according to your plans.

Does it seem like that?

That's right.

It seems I have underestimated humans.

Although you may make the people tremble in fear

and submit to you temporarily,

it won't be easy to move their hearts.

It seems I've ignored you're suggestions too much for a while.

So this time, I'm planning to do as you say.

A human heart that follows who it trusts and longs to protect the one they love,

I'm thinking of using that.

It's my meeting time with the court officials.

Follow me.

The people who revere the traitor Kim Sung Yeol as a good vampire are increasing.

That's not all.

They say the ones leading the Black Robe's movements

is the dethroned king, Lee Yoon.

I also know that,

I pitied him and spared his life.

I will reinforce the order to arrest him.

Is there any need for that?

Chief Minister,

we can just make him come in with his own two feet.

If so-

Tomorrow, in front of the palace,

I will publicly execute the Queen

who played the role of the vampire's spy.

In that case,

using the Queen as bait?

Your Majesty.

As you know,

before I am this nation's Queen,

I am Gwi's woman.

Even though it became like this because of my father's threat,

that is the undeniable truth.

So to you who could not preserve the throne,

there is nothing I can do for you

and nothing I have to receive.

And so this letter

will be a letter that severs our tie as husband and wife.

Just like before,

I am planning to live only as Gwi's woman.

So from now on,

there is no need for you to invite danger to yourself because of my safety.

Don't try to look for me anymore

and protect your health.

This is the last message I'm giving to you

from when I was once living as your wife.

For not being able to stay by your side until the end,

I apologize.

I needed power.

Power so that no one could touch me or my mother.

You embraced me, but.

I-

It is okay.

You are staying by the weak me,

and protecting me until the end like this.

So this is The Queen's

last words to me.

That is right.

I'm sure there is some sort of situation. Isn't that so? Don't you know anything?

Your Majesty, truthfully,

they are going to execute the Queen in the palace.

Execute?

I was supposed to never tell you, but...

I need to meet The Queen in this instance.

Your Majesty!-I will leave alone, so stay here.

It is an order.- But-

I'm certain this was planned by Gwi to lure me.

Whether I come back or I am not able to, Kim Sung Yeol will lead the Black Robes.

So don't tell anyone and wait here.

Can't we just destroy the underground place where Gwi stays at?

You know Gwi can't roam outside in daylight.

If we use explosives then-

No matter how much I think about, it seems like the only way.

Your Majesty.

Is something going on?

By chance, did The Queen-

It's nothing. Rather you are the one who looks like something is wrong.

A vampire's complexion is always like this.

I know what you are thinking about.

However, do not forget the promise about living and making Yang Sun happy.

There is nothing to be afraid of.

Do you think he will come if you do this?

Aren't you the one who told me not to disregard a human's heart?

What are you planning on doing to that person?

What will I do? If I told you it wouldn't be fun.

I was like that, wasn't I?

In the end, giving affection for someone becomes your weakness.

Instead, just bite me and get rid of the human heart you despise so much.

If you wait, I'll do it in time. Why are you rushing so much?

Do you not want to encounter me for even another minute?

Can't you just forget the human heart you won't be able to obtain?

Can't you just take me and live somewhere where there is nobody?

The human world will be destroyed by the humans themselves anyway.

Even if you have to do that, do you want to save him?

It's not only because of that.

When I see Kim Sung Yeol, I

am able to feel the same way you must have felt.

You know my feelings?

Aren't you envious of the human heart you can't obtain?

Therefore, now-- Stop it!

I've lived for hundreds of years and you've only seen

me for 10 of them yet you seem to have a lot of words.

I will watch until the end and then decide

about what I will do to your husband.

Secretly meet a Qing merchant and gather the explosives.

Lord.- It is the only way.

As the time passes, more people will lose their lives.

So you are saying that you want to die together with Gwi?

I am.

My Lord!

Didn't you also give your life in front of Gwi for me?

Do not ever think about dying together with me again.

Lord, I-

Soo Hyang,

it was none other than you who awoke me to the

meaning of life when my time was at a standstill.

Seeing the small child mature into this beautiful grown woman,

to me, those were wonderful and happy things.

Lord!

You have to live until the end of your human life under the blinding sun.

Please live happily.

All of the moments with My Lord...

were happy.

Lord!

Move aside.

There is an order to arrest you so please cooperate.

Arrest him.

Who are you guys serving?!

I will go on my own feet to find that bastard,

so don't make a fuss and lead the way.

Your Majesty, why?- Queen.

Ah, to be touched like this.

To save the woman who threw you away,

you came to me on your own two feet.

Whatever the Queen has done, she has only done those things for me as my wife.

She has no fault.

So if you are going to kill anyone, kill me.

Your crime of being at the beck and call of the vampire who threw the palace into chaos

and misleading the opinions of the people by

promoting the rebellion even after being dethroned,

are you saying you admit it?

Say what you want.

Your Majesty, don't do this.

Shh...

You were using the Queen so you could kill me.

Get rid of the obvious act and just kill me instead!

If that's what you want, then I'll do it.

But if you want to save the Queens life, there is something you need to do.

If I just kill you like this, all of these watchful eyes would be burdensome.

So, I'll bite you and make you into a vampire.

When you open your eyes, you'll lose all reasoning and crave blood.

The people will become your food.

Then, they will also get to know fear

of the vampire.

Fine. Do as you wish.

I will hold onto my consciousness, endure until the

end, and kill you by ripping you apart to shreds.

All of you do talk well.

Now, look clearly.

This person will soon reveal his self that he has hidden.

This is the true image of the incapable king

who made the people fall into distress.

Queen!

Your Majesty...

I was grateful for the heart you gave me.

Even...

if I die now... I don't have any regrets.

No, you can't.

You have to age with me and die with me on the same day and same time.

Queen...

Queen!

Where are you?

Stop running away and come out!

I'm telling you to attack!

Where are you?

Where?!

Let go. I told you to let go!

Instead, why

didn't you let us die together in his hands?

Then you will be making the Queen's death useless.

No more.

I can't bear it anymore.

What are you going to do about the people who you promised to protect?

Are you planning to let them,

their descendants, and their descendant's descendants,

suffer in Gwi's hands for hundreds of years?

It will be painful.

It will be hard to endure.

However,

for the people who are waiting for you, win over it.

I will take Gwi with me.

His Majesty?

He will need time,

so just leave him alone for a while.

If I disappear, you will probably hurt a lot as well. You will have it hard.

If I could, I want to return you to before you met me and then leave.

I didn't want

to kill you this easily.

I wanted to keep you by my side for hundreds of years,

no, thousands of years

and make you hate me forever.

Now who will send cynical smiles for the things I do

and who will spit out impudent words saying that I'm pitiful?

Who?

Answer me.

I told you to answer!

Dethrone the current king!

It has been proven that the king who rose to that seat by himself is a vampire!

What?

The vampires who roamed around in various places were all planned by him!

Since it has been discovered that the one impersonating the King is a vampire,

we can't just still and watch!

You're right! -Right!

Everyone, let's gather our strength and drag him down from the throne!

Yes!

Let's gather our strength!

Many people will gather in front of the palace

with the Confucian Scholars leading them.

The rebellion will be tomorrow.

Are the explosives ready?

I've hidden them at Hwayang-gak.

Call the Black Robe members to Hwayang-gak.

Are you really going to do this?

In that case, I am going with you this time.

Whatever you say, you won't be able to stop me.

Ho Jin,

I'm entrusting His Majesty to you.

Don't let him come out from the hideout during the rebellion.

Really, why are you like this to me?

You always order me to do the errands and small stuff

but I can fight, too!

Even if I die fighting next to you-

Ho Jin,

the ones who preserve the world are not people like me who fight.

It's the people who take care of and raise

life so that it grows in a blood covered ground.

I'm sorry for entrusting you with a hard task.

If you are sorry, it is fine.

Please don't tell Yang Sun.

But-

Because I know how deep her heart that thinks of me is,

I can't even think of words to console her.

Possibly,

are you leaving for somewhere?

I have someplace I need to visit.

But I'll probably

return late tomorrow so don't wait for me.

May I see you out?

You can go back now.

It seems that the next book

will be the last for the Night Scholar series.

How do you want it to end?

Shouldn't it be an ending that many people

would want?

Do you think like that?

I would hope that.

If by any chance The Night Scholar

fought Gwi

and died, what do you think about that ending?

But if that could

make Gwi dissapear from the world,

that would not be a bad ending either.

Then,

in that ending,

what would the lover who is

left by herself do?

She would become very sad, right?

However,

as time passes and her feelings settle down,

she will also come to know

that the thing the Night Scholar wished for until the end

was her happiness.

You

only see that lover as weak.

That woman would probably

have already set her mind

to living and dying

with the Night Scholar.

That- -The Night Scholar who knew of this,

for her sake,

won't die in the end,

and come back.

I guess.

After sharing the story, I think I know how I should write it.

I will definitely show the last book to you first,

so come back and don't be late.

I understand.

♫ I am lying again ♫

♫ thinking I’d be left with my tears only ♫

♫ Thinking that you might hurt more ♫

♫ On top of my hidden heart that is searching for you ♫

♫ applying a layer of longing ♫

♫ I want to be this rain and fall next to you ♫

♫ as much as my unstopping heart ♫

♫ I’d be crumbling as much as I fill in with you ♫

♫ You, my eyes well up just looking at you ♫

♫ You, my heart aching for you ♫

I'm sorry, Yang Sun. ♫ Even for just one day ♫

♫ or even just once ♫

♫ I want to embrace you in my arms. ♫

You came, Chief Minister.

Why are you standing so far away?

Closer.

This is...

It's nothing much.

These bugs kept buzzing

in my ear.

Moreover,

I'm sorry for the Queen's matter.

I wasn't planning to do that.

No, Your Majesty.

What? -What?

What is what I'm asking! I killed your daughter!

But how are you just standing there like that?

Do you want to live that badly?

I'm sorry,

but I am someone who has already

chosen to share my destiny with you.

I'll receive any punishment, but

if I disappear,

who would protect this palace

in the daytime when you find movement difficult?

Are you truly

human even after doing that?

Get out of my sight.

HURRY!

Yes, Your Majesty.

While I enter the underground palace and battle Gwi,

blow that place away.

I...

will go together with Gwi.

♫ Even if I block my ears so I can't hear you ♫

♫ This love gets even clearer ♫

Are you saying the palace became a vampire nest?

Let's all go to the palace with His Majesty!

Let's go! -Come on!

Now, it's my turn to protect you, Scholar.

If you want to battle against me right now,

you should have no area you're lacking in.

Now the human Kim Sung Yeol's blood which used to flow in my body

has been conquered and disappeared

to the blood I've been consuming for the past 100 years.

I will die next to you, Scholar.

I love you. -What are you doing?

You have to quickly end the fight. -Come!
