Where is His Excellency Grand Prince Su Yang now?

Please follow me.

Has Gim Seung Yu been released?

Yes.

He didn't realize we had intentionally released him, did he?

I don't think so.

If he believes you to be a friend,

he should be on his way to where his father is hiding.

He is a good guide in helping us find Gim Jong Seo.

Young Master.

Move aside.

Father!

I'm fine.

I'm going to the Ministry of Military Affairs. Lead the way.

-=Byeongjo: Ministry of Military Affairs in charge of appointing soldiers, logistics, weapons and defense, which is under the control of the State Council of Joseon.=-

Seung Yu!

Su Yang... I won't let you off even when I arrive in hell!

Father...

Father!

-=1 year ago=-

You are really well-behaved and calm. Let me take a ride on you.

Once... Just once... all right?

1... 2... 3...

I'm up!

Agassi! (Agassi - young lady)

Agassi!

Aigoo, you got hurt again in the same spot. (Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)

I was just about to succeed.

It's because of this horse that you're getting bruises all over your legs.

If Madam finds out, what are you going to do?

I don't know why, but this fellow let me sat on his back.

Quick, quick, get up quickly.

The madam has been waiting for you.

Why are you so late?

Did your mistress go horse riding again?

No, no she didn't.

Tell me the truth right now!

Mother...

Actually I...

How is that possible?

For a child who can't even walk properly,

-=Grand Prince Su Yang=- For a child who can't even walk properly because of her injured leg,

-=Grand Prince Su Yang=- how is it possible for her to go horse riding?

how is it possible for her to go horse riding?

It has been a long time since we last entered the palace.

As a member of the royal family, you must never lose your poise.

Yes, Father.

As Royal Clansmen, we must never be regarded as ignorant people.

Thus, each of you must participate in the discussion enthusiastically and sincerely.

Yes.

Have you sent someone there?

He should have arrived by now.

Father.

-=Gim Jong Seo=-

Grand Prince Su Yang has sent a letter.

Letter?

Grand Prince Su Yang hopes that Seung Yu can tie the knot with his daughter.

Seung Yu didn't come home again?

Sir.

The sun is already high up in the sky.

Please wake up.

It's time for you to enter the palace.

They're friends, but why do they differ so much?

Marriage proposal?

Don't spout nonsense.

When mother and father were talking, I eavesdropped on their conversation.

They were talking about proposing a marriage at Lord Gim Jong Seo's residence.

Are you sure it's my marriage?

Yes.

You still don't want to get married, right?

Tell Father

to marry me off instead.

He's the youngest son of the vice-premier who even the King concedes to...

Gim Seung Yu!

Doesn't his name sound dignified?

Let's make our way to Ja Mae Dang.

We still have to pay our respects to Her Highness the Princess.

Eonni, you can go by yourself. (Eonni - older sister)

www.DHIYAFARIS.com What?

She thinks she's the prettiest and greatest princess in the world.

It is so nauseating.

To be lofty yet humble... To be dignified yet fair...

To be esteemed yet humble

is the way to protect your status.

To be esteemed and yet fair is the way to command respect.

Teacher.

Yes, Your Highness.

I don't see the line you're reading in my book.

How is that possible?

It really isn't here.

That is a book your humble subject has read hundreds of times...

Are you trying to say that I am lying to you now?

That was not my intention.

Please check.

What... what?

I am asking you to come over to check.

Are you expecting me to bring the book over to you instead?

No... definitely not.

Your humble subject...

Please look at the next chapter.

Oh! What is this?

The princess is using her beauty as a weapon to tease the teacher.

This is really inappropriate.

Let's take advantage of this situation

to cancel Her Highness's lecture.

Whoever goes in will be kicked out.

All of the teachers' reputation in the Jong Hak has been tarnished.

-=Jong Hak: an institution that oversees the education of all royalties.=- All of the teachers' reputation in the Jong Hak has been tarnished.

-=Jong Hak: an institution that oversees the education of all royalties.=- How is this our fault?

Im Chang Gyo, Lee Eung Su, and Gil Byeong Won have all quit their post as jikgang. [Jikgang: Officials of rank five holding office in Seong Gyun Gwan as civil servants.]

Im Chang Gyo, Lee Eung Su, and Gil Byeong Won have all quit their post as jikgang. [Jikgang: Officials of rank five holding office in Seong Gyun Gwan as civil servants.]

She has already teased so many of us, yet she's still unsatisfied!

Now she has even teased Ryeom jikgang.

Haven't I reminded you time and time again not to lift the screen?

What are you doing?

Her Highness is still waiting for you.

In any case, you have to finish the lecture.

I'm too ashamed of myself.

Today you shall be responsible for Her Highness's lecture.

That's impossible.

Just dealing with those ignorant clanswomen

have caused me enough headaches.

Let the new jikgang take charge of this.

This fellow, where exactly did he...

Where did you come from?

I fell into a state of Dok Seo Sam Do while reading, so I was too absorbed to note the time... [Dok Seo Sam Do: the 3 things to use in reading a book - the eye, the mouth, and the mind.]

What did you say? [Dok Seo Sam Do: the three things to use in reading a book - the eye, the mouth, and the mind.]

What did you say?

- Dok Seo Sam Do? - Yes.

Exactly which library is providing you with gisaengs to study? (Gisaeng - female Korean entertainer)

Why don't you take a look at your face?

My face?

What is this?

Only you would know. Who else is supposed to?

Hurry to where Her Highness is.

Isn't Her Highness's jikgang Ryeom Do Il?

He resigned.

Did Her Highness insult the teacher again?

This is really getting out of hand.

These men pretend to be morally upright, but all of them are just as bad.

Still, you were a bit too much.

Your Royal Highness, Miss Se Ryeong requests an audience with you.

Your Highness.

As a girl, must you really ride a horse?

Your personality is that of a wild child.

How could you hurt your body trying to do things men do?

Your Highness, why do you keep all your silk shoes

if you may never get to wear some of them?

Because I wish to own them.

The same applies to me.

Because I want to ride.

I want it even more because I'm not allowed to ride even though I want to.

Have you even gotten on the horse's back yet?

I've climbed onto it. But it only lasted a short while.

You've gotten hurt so many times, yet you still...

Your Highness, it's time for your lecture.

Miss Se Ryeong also needs to attend her own lecture for royal clanswomen.

Lecture, lecture!

There is nothing more annoying than that.

I refuse to go.

Your Highness, if His Majesty knows about this...

Abamama is helpless against me. (Abamama - used by Prince and Princess when calling their father)

They were talking about proposing a marriage at Lord Gim Jong Seo's residence.

What are you so absorbed thinking about?

If I'm locked up in the house after marriage,

maybe I would be able to understand how Your Highness feels.

What do you mean?

Your Highness is trapped in the depths of this palace. Don't you feel depressed?

What's there to be depressed about?

The palace has everything one would ever need.

Take a look at my backyard.

Doesn't it already house all the flowers that normally can't be found in Joseon?

Compared to those flowers that are specially cultivated,

I prefer ones that naturally grow in the wild.

Your Highness!

I've inquired about who the teacher is.

So there's still someone who dares to come?

It's jikgang Gim Seung Yu.

Gim Seung Yu?

He's the vice-premier's youngest son.

The vice-premiere's youngest son? He's the third son of the vice-premier who even the King concedes to...

Gim Seung Yu!

You absolutely must never lift the screen separating Her Highness from you.

Remember, and remember it well!

Please announce it.

Your Highness, the jikgang is here.

Your Highness, I am jikgang Gim Seung Yu.

To be able to give a lecture to Your Royal Highness

is my utmost honor.

Are you dissatisfied with me?

Why aren't you speaking so I can hear your famed beautiful voice?

Please open the Book of Filial Piety.

Who is this and where from?

It is Miss Se Ryeong from Grand Prince Su Yang's residence.

I don't care if he is Gim Seung Yu or Gim-whatever.

I've had enough with lecturers.

Your Highness,

do you wish to take a walk outside the palace?

Outside the palace?

What about the lecture?

I'll go in your stead.

You want to sit in on the princess's lecture?

How dare you!

This is too inappropriate.

Actually... jikgang Gim Seung Yu... He...

is my future husband.

I want to confirm it personally.

Your Highness, you should have stopped Miss Se Ryeong.

Instead, you are conspiring with her...

What am I to do?

If you call me "Your Highness" one more time,

I will punish you without leniency.

What are the Three Obediences?

Ah...

That is to mean... a daughter must obey her father before marriage.

After marriage, she obeys her husband,

and after the death of her husband, obeys her son.

The Three Obediences teach us that women are only the shadows of men.

Shadows?

Is that all?

So it's your feet this time round?

You blew away the souls of all the teachers in Jong Hak with your beauty.

Beauty that I heard is comparable to Consort Yang's.

Please allow me a glimpse of your beauty.

Not just your calf,

even if you showed me parts that were more private,

I will not be shaken.

If Your Highness plans to use beauty as a tool,

how different are you from the gisaengs who sell themselves to men?

I won't forgive your childish teasing of the teachers during lectures anymore.

Our lecture for today shall end here.

Please lift the screen.

I am telling you to lift up the screen.

Your Royal Highness, this is...

These are bruises.

The first chapter in the Book of Filial Piety states that we receive our skin from parents.

Injury is also considered to be a lack of filial piety.

My offense was allowing teacher to see my inability to endure pain.

I'm really ashamed of myself.

But Teacher...

Did you just say something about somewhere more private?

Where exactly were you thinking about?

Were you hoping that I would unfasten my clothes and pull up my skirt?

Or were you hoping I would kiss you and leave a mark on your neck?

This... this...

For someone walking around

in the light of day with a lipstick mark on his neck

to think of such an improper scenario...

It doesn't come as a big surprise.

But within this austere palace,

you have demonstrated dirty tricks that one would use with gisaengs,

and that has made me extremely unhappy.

You said women are just shadows of men.

But with frivolous and shameless men like you...

how do you expect women to trust and follow them?

What?

Letter?

Su Yang sent a letter to vice-premier?

What did it say?

I'm extremely sorry.

I am not aware of its content.

-=Mun Jong (Grand Prince Su Yang's older brother)=-

-=Mun Jong (Grand Prince Su Yang's older brother)=- What can it be?

What can it be?

What would they be talking about when they're political rivals?

As a King, why are there so many things that I am not aware of?

How is it?

Your humble subject is fearful.

The Royal Physician is not to be blamed for the recurrence of my old ailments.

Your humble subject is fearful, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Grand Prince Su Yang requests an audience with you.

Enter.

Ride a horse?

Our Se Ryeong is almost on par with the princess.

Looks like the both of us have really impressive daughters.

That is true, Your Majesty.

Due to her mother's early demise, I gave in to all her whims

without teaching her about the real dangers of the society.

My younger brother, you ought to guide her along sometimes.

But I'm an inadequate father who has also failed to teach his own daughter well.

I regard Se Ryeong as my own daughter.

I hope you will be able to do the same for the princess. Please guide her.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Will you be able to do the same for the Crown Prince?

It is my responsibility to do so.

Thank you.

I will be waiting in Pyeon Jeon with the rest of the royal clansmen. (Pyeon Jeon - place where the King meets with his ministers and/or envoys)

Your Majesty!

Royal Physician, come in now!

Lower your voice! Grand Prince Su Yang hasn't gone far yet!

Your Majesty!

Curious about the content of the letter?

Your Majesty...

Please proceed with the wedding preparations for Princess Gyeong Hye who is well past marriageable age.

What are the views of the royal clansmen?

Your subject An Pyeong.

Princess Gyeong Hye's wedding

is to be considered a joyous occasion for the entire nation.

Furthermore, after the princess marries,

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, should marry as well.

Only then can the Royal Family ensure stability.

Your subject Im Yeong.

The appointment of Prince Consort should be turned over to the Royal Clansmen Committee

headed by Grand Prince Su Yang for further discussion.

I disagree.

The responsibility for the appointment of the Prince Consort for Her Royal Highness, the Princess, should not fall on the Royal Clansmen Committee,

but on the Yejo.

Your Majesty,

please allow the Yejo to take charge of this matter. [Yejo: one of the Six Ministries of Joseon, similar to China's Ministry of Rites.]

Definitely not the Yejo! [Yejo: one of the Six Ministries of Joseon, similar to China's Ministry of Rites.]

Definitely not the Yejo! [Yejo: one of the Six Ministries of Joseon, similar to China's Ministry of Rites.]

The Royal Clansmen Committee has been in charge of marriage matter regarding the Royal Family since the rule of the previous king.

Marriage is a family matter.

It is also regarded as the nation's matter!

The Royal Clansmen Committee is in charge...

I will follow the vice-premier's wishes.

Your Excellency!

How can we ruin a joyous matter of this magnitude

with disagreements between royal clansmen and ministers?

This time around, the Royal Clansmen Committee will aid the Yejo in the wedding preparations wholeheartedly.

Why is Grand Prince Su Yang agreeing to Your Excellency's suggestion so easily?

They want to aid us wholeheartedly.

Exactly what motives do they have?

I am still waiting for your answer regarding the marriage proposal, Your Excellency.

Your Majesty,

the vice-premier's third son Gim Seung Yu

has been appointed as the princess's lecturer.

How about buying one?

Just buy one!

Rice cakes, rice cakes for sale!

Stop there!

Out of the way, out of the way, out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Over there!

Bastard!

Let's turn around once more.

I will go get the bearers now.

Who is this?

- Hush! - I'm asking who you are!

You audacious lunatic... How dare you...

Are you playing hide-and-seek?

Right here, sir!

Aigoo, sir!

Your Highness...

No, mistress, are you all right?

You're shaking from fright.

Mak Su, treat him well.

They're giving me a headache with all that noise.

Let's hurry back.

What happened today absolutely cannot be leaked out!

Yes.

The Three Obediences teach us that women are only the shadows of men.

.

Miss Se Ryeong!

Something big happened.

The Crown Prince is on his way here!

What?

-=Crown Prince, Hong Wi (the future Dan Jong)=-

Your Highness the Crown Prince is here.

Your Highness.

Nunim, Hong Wi is here. (Nunim - respected older sister)

Nunim...

Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here.

Se Ryeong nunim is also here?

Yes.

There was an argument in Pyeon Jeon regarding Nunim's marriage matters.

Have you heard about it?

So?

Omamama has already passed away. (Omamama - used by Prince and Princess when calling their mother)

If Nunim leaves the palace as well,

what am I to do?

This is something you have to deal with sooner or later.

Didn't I tell you not to let your weakness show in front of anyone?

Your Highness.

You're a person who has to shoulder the responsibilities of our nation in future.

Even if you're tired, you must act as if you are not.

Your Highness must do that.

I was muddle-headed for a moment and became an immature child.

I'll take my leave first.

How did it feel to be outside the palace?

There is nothing special.

The din caused by the commoners disturbed my peace.

There was dust in the streets that made it difficult for me to breathe.

Is that so?

Right, what do you think of your future husband?

Why? Is he a pedantic man who knows nothing else besides books?

He's a Han Ryang. [Han Ryang: scholars who fools around not making useful contributions to the country with their abilities.]

An unreasonable and despicable fellow with bad conducts. [Han Ryang: scholars who fools around not making useful contributions to the country with their abilities.]

An unreasonable and despicable fellow with bad conducts. [Han Ryang: scholars who fools around not making useful contributions to the country with their abilities.]

Han Ryang?

A shameless fellow with a lipstick mark on his neck.

Rouge mark?

There is such a teacher in the Jong Hak?

But... how did you see that rouge mark?

Don't tell me you lifted the screen?

It's not Agassi's fault.

It was the jikgang who lifted the screen first.

That's great.

What?

Since he has already seen your face,

how can I continue to go to the lectures?

I shall tend to my flowers in the backyard

while you and your husband study together affectionately.

Your Highness!

Aren't you over-exerting your shoulders?

You drank wine the entire night,

and now you're pretending to practice with your sword.

Do your subordinates know about that?

Are you in any position to make fun of me?

You're just the same as a drunk teacher. What kind of teaching do you actually do?

If you wish to get back home sober,

you certainly can't let Jeong Jong catch you.

In order to get a free meal out of you today,

he has made enough effort.

Such a scary fellow...

Why can't he just let us off for a day?

Have you ever seen Jeong Jong sober at all?

Maybe he's currently at a gisaeng house somewhere...

Isn't that Jeong Jong?

- Look at this pathetic face. - Treat him well!

Who are you?

What can I do for you?

This rascal!

How could you just take the son of a yangban family away at will? (Yangban - part of the traditional ruling class or nobles)

This yangban sir has borrowed money from our private bank and is refusing to pay up.

We don't have any choice but to personally invite him to make this trip.

Isn't that the truth, Sir?

I... didn't say I wouldn't return the money.

Who's the head of your private bank?

Why? Why do you want to know?

How dare you!

Release him now!

How dare you?

I'll take responsibility for this matter.

Release him now.

You will be responsible?

We've been cheated countless times by this sentence.

How do you expect me to believe you?

-=Hanseong Magistrate's Aide Officer=-

-=Hanseong Magistrate's Aide Officer=- Can you believe it now?

Can you believe it now?

So it's the Hanseong Magistrate's Aide Officer.

Forgive me for offending you with my ignorance.

Leave.

Your friends are pretty tough.

Missed!

Being able to admit one's shortcomings is also one form of courage.

Keep up the effort.

Aren't you improving already?

Yes.

Su Yang is truly a natural born king.

Your Majesty, why do you say so?

I don't have long to live.

If this father is no longer around,

how will this young Crown Prince withstand the potential attack from his uncle?

Your Majesty!

As long as we can protect this child's life,

I will have no regrets, even if I was to die right now.

Your Majesty!

If you are like this, we will be at a loss of what to do.

I have always believed that you had pledged your allegiance to me.

But I am unable to believe you any more.

www.DHIYAFARIS.com Why is that?

Please tell your humble subject why, Your Majesty.

What exactly are you plotting with Grand Prince Su Yang?

A ruse to create misunderstandings...

Why do you say sending that letter was a ruse to create misunderstandings?

Ever since His Majesty found out about the letter that Your Excellency sent to the vice premier,

he has been on pins and needles.

What a wonderful ruse!

I was still wondering why the Grand Prince would propose a marriage that won't materialize in the first place.

I had even suspected that Your Excellency was losing awareness of the political situation.

I was worrying secretly!

But, Your Excellency...

The relationship between His Majesty and the vice-premier won't fall apart so easily because of a mere fake marriage proposal.

The relationship between His Majesty and the vice-premier won't fall apart so easily because of a mere fake marriage proposal.

I have never said this matter was fake.

I certainly will become in-laws with Gim Jong Seo.

If your situation was so dire, why didn't you say so earlier?

Don't you know that a private bank is a very dangerous place?

Life means little in the face of money, and you can easily disappear from this world.

Even if it was for your mother's illness,

you shouldn't have broken the law...

Enough, enough.

We will attend to urgent matters first.

Compared to those private banks, isn't it better to use Myeon's money or mine?

Exactly how much is it?

I want to collect more interest from you, rascal.

Today, I...

saw a beautiful woman.

Even though I'm not sure, I feel that she could be Joseon's most beautiful woman, Princess Gyeong Hye.

What beauty?

She's just a normal young woman.

Don't tell me...

You have seen Princess Gyeong Hye?

So frustrating!

Tell me, quickly!

I am just responsible for her lectures.

Why are you only telling me about this now?

Is she really that beautiful?

Even if she is a princess,

come to think of it, she is still just a girl.

Just because of one girl,

do you all need to cause a commotion here?

- Come over here. - I got it.

Today's drink was really delicious!

You always think that drinks are good.

Right.

Hurry, come receive Jeong Jong's decree.

Onwards to the gisaeng house now!

Attack!

It's your turn to carry him today.

What?

Who was it that piggybacked that rascal the previous time at So gisaeng house?

What is it? What?

Put me down, put me down, brat!

No, no, I don't want to go home!

Father,

it's your youngest son, Seung Yu.

Do you have a guest?

You got drunk again.

I had a few drinks with some close friends.

Go to sleep.

Your son's personality is really bold and straightforward.

But there is nothing praiseworthy about my daughter.

She would be fortunate to be able to have such a husband.

Are there really no ulterior motives for this marriage?

Only the vice-premier and I

can prevent an irreversible tragedy from happening.

What tragedy?

If His Majesty dies...

Please mind your language!

If I, Su Yang, can ascend to the throne,

I give my word that the safety of the young Crown Prince will be ensured.

You can trust me.

In Joseon, maybe even a dog wouldn't believe what I've just said.

If the Crown Prince succeeds the throne,

the first to be put to death would be Royal Uncle, Grand Prince Su Yang.

That would be the smart move for the sake of the young Crown Prince and the citizens of Joseon.

You will certainly do so.

Hence to ensure I live, I must make this arrangement with you.

Between His Excellency and I,one of us must die before this matter reaches a conclusion in the imperial court.

I, Gim Jong Seo, has never feared death.

It is not just your life and mine

but also the lives of our innocent children.

Do you really wish to see a gruesome ending with them bleeding, slashed and beheaded?

You have the ability to save these children's precious lives.

Must I really go in?

You're the one who created this mess.

If you're really unable to bear with it,

just personally tell that jikgang the truth.

You still look pretty dressed up like this.

Before the lecture, please allow me to speak my mind.

I will remember the advice Your Highness has given me well.

So, Your Highness, please also strictly respect the etiquette between teacher and students.

In the future, you're not allowed to end the lecture without a valid reason.

During the lecture, please record all of the content on paper.

You have to turn them in to me during the next lecture.

You must also memorize all the content of the lecture from that day.

-=Hoe Gang: to recite the content learned in front of the teacher in the form of an oral examination=- I will administer a hoe gang whenever necessary to confirm your learning progress.

-=Hoe Gang: to recite the contents learned in front of the teacher in the form of an oral examination=- Should you fail,

Should you fail,

we will start all over again.

Why aren't you answering?

I will do as you wish.

Thank you, Your Highness.

If you are abusing your position as a teacher

to exact revenge for what happened previously,

as a student, I can't protest.

In regards to Teacher's despicable behavior,

I will forgive and accept it with a big heart.

Let's proceed with our lecture now.

You mean right now?

Your Majesty,

what is it that you have to personally make a visit to the Jong Hak?

I heard that the princess's teacher has been changed again.

It is due to my incompetency.

Do you wish to take a look personally?

Speak no improper words,

and do not take the wrong path.

Speak no words other than those sanctioned by their speech, nor exhibit conduct other than that exemplified by their virtuous ways.

Their words are not arbitrary,

nor their actions capricious,

From their mouths there comes no exceptionable speech,

and in their conduct there are found no exceptionable actions.

Treat and love one's father and mother the same.

Love and respect the Mother as one would do for the Father,

and love them equally.

Treat and rever the King as the one's Father.

To respect your father as you would do for a king,

that respectful attitude is the same.

You answered without any hesitation. You did a good job.

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty,

this is jikgang Gim Seung Yu who is responsible for the princess's lecture.

I was just passing by.

For being responsible for my immature child's eduction, I am really thankful.

Your humble subject is fearful, Your Majesty.

If I sit in for the lecture, will it cause inconvenience?

Absolutely not.

Please continue with the lecture.

Love is what is chiefly rendered to the mother, and reverence is what is chiefly rendered to the ruler, while both of these things are given to the father.

Your Highness, please explain its meaning.

Your Highness.

Seems like the princess still needs to put in more effort.

I hope Gim jikgang can be a good mentor to the princess.

Your humble servant is fearful.

It is my ineptitude that has caused such a situation.

Do not take it to heart.

Since you are already here,

why not take a look at the princess before leaving?

I'll leave the screen for you now.

Turn around.

Lift the screen.

Forget it.

Compared to the king, a teacher should receive more respect in the Jong Hak.

I cannot interfere with the progress of a lecture like this.

Please continue.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The vice-premier's son is just as rumored, smart and good-looking.

Not just with the princess,

I hope you can guide the Crown Prince as well.

Thank you for Your Majesty's praise.

You seem to have plenty of tricks up your sleeves to put a teacher to shame.

Your Highness.

His Majesty paid a visit to the Jong Hak.

What?

How did it go?

We didn't get discovered.

That's great then.

But if His Majesty pays a visit again...

Abamama won't come again.

After the Book of Filial Piety, the jikgang will be changed.

Just endure for a bit more.

Or you can tell him the truth now.

No.

I have no wish

to land Your Highness in this same situation.

Madam, this is Un.

I have something to report.

It should be the reply to the marriage proposal.

Come in.

Is it the vice-premier?

No.

It is an order for His Excellency to enter the palace.

Fantastic, I've finally succeed!

Didn't you say even though she's a princess,

she is still nothing but a girl?

Looks like this girl is pretty impressive!

In front of His Majesty, she actually turned our great Gim Seung Yu

into an incompetent teacher.

I wonder what exactly is going on in that brain of hers.

So? Do you want to punish her?

I'm considering it.

I have an urgent matter to attend to.

You go on ahead.

What?

Your Excellency,

what is going on?

Let's go.

I shall announce the appointment of Princess Gyeong Hye's Prince Consort today.

After selection,

we still have to undergo the process of the three drafting.

That is the correct procedure.

Is there really a need to go through with the process of the three drafts?

Although the situation of just going straight with the appointment has happened before...

I hope it can be simplified even further.

If you're doing away with all the formalities,

does that mean Your Majesty already has a suitable candidate in mind?

Who is it?

Can you please tell us who you have decided upon?

- Please tell. - Please tell.

I...

have chosen vice-premier Gim Jong Seo's son, Gim Seung Yu,

as the candidate for Prince Consort.

For a man to keep a woman's accessories,
