The late King in his youth...

How could he look so much like him?

[Episode 16] Sit down.

Thanks to you, we were able to mint Sangpyeong Tongbos.

You accomplished a big task for this nation.

You are too kind, Dowager Queen.

So...

You have gone to great lengths.

It is human nature to want recognition for one's effort.

But, why was it the position of Minister of Government Administration?

With all due respect...

it is not that I wish to become Minister of Government Administration.

You don't?

Former Sungkyunkwan Professor, Woo Bo, was largely responsible for this success.

Sending the Hansungbu soldier to Waegwan and locating the copper...

it was all thanks to him.

So, it is not a position for you.

You want him to become Minister of Government Administration?

Yes.

If you give him that position...

he will be a source of strength for the King.

A source of strength for the King?

You know that it was the Pyeonsoo-hwe who smuggled the copper.

The new minister should be highly praised for bringing that copper in.

It should be announced.

Then what?

The Minister of Government Administration has control of personnel.

Those who wish to fight the Pyeonsoo-hwe will be under his ministry.

You need to fill the government with those people.

They will become a source of strength for the King.

Then he can stand up to the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

A minister who can fight against the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

And you?

Why is it that you wish to fight the Pyeonsoo-hwe?

That is not important, Dowager Queen.

How do I plan on destroying the Pyeonsoo-hwe in the future...

that is what you need to ask me.

You are exactly what people say you are.

What is this? I did all the work!

This old man just sat in a room. Minister of Government Administration?

What about me?

You said I would be promoted to councilor.

What? Seriously.

What is this?

What else?

Starting today, you are an Officer of Government Administration.

Officer of Government Administration?

Officer of Government Administration!

Level five?

Minister!

I will do my very best!

Then...

why don't you two go on without me?

It's been a while since I've been home.

I would like to take a look around.

Still, you never know. Be careful not to be seen.

Yes, I will.

Dae Mok!

Run.

Father!

You wish to return the favor.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I have yet to restore your father's status.

Your Majesty, everyone had forgotten about my father.

Yet, you remembered him.

I will devote my life to repaying your kindness.

Come closer.

Why do you think your innocent father had to die?

It is all because all our nation is run by an unwise and foolish King.

Some time ago...

Do you know about the Yangsucheong collecting all their debts at once?

Yes, Your Majesty.

All of that...

is because the Yangsucheong were after the right to mint currency.

It was a part of their plans.

The worst part of it all...

the King took the Yangsucheong's side in all of it.

The King...

turned his back on the people?

If I had not stepped in...

the Yangsucheong would have taken the right to mint currency from the nation.

If that had happened...

the lives of the people would have become so hard...

I do not even want to imagine it.

Do you truly...

wish to repay me?

I do, Your Majesty.

Then... become a court lady.

I need eyes and ears that I can trust.

I will use those eyes and ears to watch over the King.

Because...

for the sake of the people...

I am planning on unseating the King.

I have told you my plans.

Tell me your answer.

Next time you come...

tell me your answer.

Level five.

I am going to be an Officer of Government Administration.

Be careful. Please be careful.

I'm done drinking.

You foolish boy.

Are you drunk?

You rascal!

What are you planning to do with Ga Eun?

Are you going to hold on to her or let her go?

I...

do not have the right to hold on to her.

Then let her go, you rascal!

You think you're the only man out there?

She's a poor girl who lost her father.

I should take care of her, at least.

I'll marry her off to a man 100 or 1,000 times better than you.

Someone handsome like me.

I see you still blame yourself for her father's death, Your Highness.

It is my fault.

It is my fault for being reckless and immature.

I was the one who executed him.

I used my own hands...

and cut his throat.

Chung Woon.

Do you think your guilt is greater than mine?

How many times must I tell you?

It is not your fault.

It was the Pyeonsoo-hwe that killed him.

Yes, it was the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

How many times must I tell you, Your Highness?

You lost your father because of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

You lost your mother and Chun Soo.

Must you lose Young Miss Ga Eun as well because of them?

After you've lost everything, is it enough to destroy the Pyeonsoo-hwe?

No, Chung Woon.

I can't lose Ga Eun.

I cannot lose her.

Not Ga Eun, I...

I...

Without Ga Eun... I cannot live.

Then... become a court lady.

Ga Eun.

Like this moon waits for the sun

someday...

I will be with you too.

Even if I cannot see you well like this moon...

Even if you have changed like this moon...

I will protect you.

Will you remember that?

That I am always by your side?

You...

are not alone.

Young Miss Ga Eun.

Have you been well?

Chief Jo of the Yangsucheong hasn't caused any trouble, has he?

You do not look so well.

Are you all right?

You're not even Young Master Chun Soo.

Why do you keep showing up?

I don't want to see you again.

I do not want hear you worry about me with the same face and the same voice.

You fool.

Pull yourself together.

He is not Young Master Chun Soo.

He won't come back.

He's probably forgotten about me.

I asked him to forget about me.

The boss of the pack carriers and the new minister met the Dowager Queen.

Have you located him?

He will be attending the large merchants meeting tonight.

What should we do?

Send our men and get him.

You can cut off his arms and legs if need be.

Just get him here.

Yes, Elder Dae Mok.

Who's there?

Where are you going?

I am running an errand for the head court lady.

Go on.

Thank you.

Just as we thought, he is the Crown Prince.

The real Lee Seon is alive.

What should I do?

Just watch him for now.

Like this moon waits for the sun

someday, I will be with you too.

Wiggly, Wiggly.

Sorry, wake up for one moment.

Where did you get this drawing?

I drew it.

Where did you see this?

Boss had it.

He was looking at it like it was his treasure.

Young Master Chun Soo.

[Large Merchants Meeting]

I came to see the boss.

I do not see him anywhere.

I am sure he will be here.

He will be happy to see you have come to Hansung.

Do you think so?

How long do you plan on staying in Hansung?

I am not sure yet.

It will depend on the boss.

What's wrong?

Elder Dae Mok has sent assassins to get the Crown Prince.

Where?

He found out that he is attending this meeting.

You have to stop His Highness from coming.

Boss!

I need to ask you something.

I will not ask you again.

This is the last time I will ask you.

Are you really...

not Young Master Chun Soo?

Boss!

Oh, Boss.

He will be all right.

This kind of injury will not endanger his life.

How dare you without my permission?

You endangered a guest coming to my home?

It was Elder Dae Mok's orders...

Shut your mouth!

Do you know what a fool you've made of me?

Get out of here right now.

Gon.

You are positive that Grandfather doesn't know he is the Crown Prince?

Yes, he only knows him as the boss of the pack carriers.

Why did you hide it all this time?

I missed you so much all this time, Young Master.

Do you even know?

Do not cry...

Ga Eun.

I am sorry...

for pretending not to know you.

Young Master Chun Soo.

I wanted...

I wanted so badly...

to call you by your name like this.

Keeping my distance from you...

was my way of trying to save your life.

But, not for one moment...

did I forget you.

I will never leave you alone again.

You...

should not leave me either.

Do you truly wish to repay me?

Then... become a court lady.

For the sake of the people...

I am planning on unseating the King.

[Ruler: Master of the Mask]

I will confess the truth to Ga Eun before she leaves.

I do not think I can delay it any longer.

Will you give me permission to be with Ga Eun?

Leave the boss alone.

I love him.

What will you give me in exchange for his life?

What took you so long to come back?

I will not leave your side.

I do not want to turn my back on you and leave you again.
