You are hungry, aren't you? I will untie that for you right away.

But ... haven't we seen each other somewhere?

No, we did. You look very familiar.

Her Highness the princess...

Hey, son!

I knew you would do this.

I'm going to go crazy. My father is really helpless.

Father, isn't your dream too big?

In our situation, is a princess suitable for us?

Did you eat something wrong? Why are you talking nonsense?

You didn't know? This ahjumma is Her Highness the princess.

What Highness?

The princess at the temple...

See... I told you that I saw the princess before!

This ahjumma is the princess!

Princess! Princess! Princess!

What... the... ?

Father.

Episode 2

I've confirmed it many times.

Not a single ornament or piece of jewelry is missing.

Has there been anything strange about my daughter-in-law lately?

No.

Did she behave in any unusual ways or meet anyone suspicious?

Not even something like that?

What do you mean by that question?

It is for her safety and security.

So you must answer me without hiding anything.

She spent her entire life in the palace.

After coming to this house following her marriage, exactly once a year,

she goes to Sangwonsa Temple and that is the only time she ever travels outside.

We must inform His Majesty.

That won't do. It could damage my daughter-in-law's pure reputation.

- But still— - If we're not careful,

everyone in Joseon will find out about this.

Then what do you think will happen?

Then everyone is Joseon will question her purity.

Do you think she can endure such disgrace?

My judgment was incorrect.

I will make sure to find her.

So please just wait and trust me.

- What happened? - We searched everywhere nearby, but we have found no trace of her.

I am sorry. I looked everywhere that she might be, but—

Let's go inside. Dismiss anyone who is around.

Seeing how nothing is missing, it's not a common thief.

It appears to be the act of someone who has a grudge against our family.

Your thoughts are valid, but that leaves too many possibilities.

There are too many families that I have destroyed.

The seeds of the Southerners are dried up. So it must be the act of the Westerners.

The Westerners?

I don't think they would do that.

Why would they abduct Sister-in-law unless they've gone crazy?

Of course, if His Majesty finds out,

their family is sure to be destroyed.

So they probably would not have committed this rash act.

Perhaps someone intended to harm Madam Byeoldang

and try to frame you with that, Lord?

Father.

- You keep looking into the thugs. - Yes.

- I have two trustworthy officers among my men. - No.

No matter how trustworthy they may be, they are still outsiders.

Unless things become more urgent,

we must solve this among only family members.

Yes, I understand.

You go to Icheon and summon the private army.

Huh?

If I bring our private army into Capital City, won't that be misunderstood by others?

Misunderstandings can be explained.

But if we cannot find your sister-in-law,

and something terrible happens,

then what will you do?

Make sure to find her.

Our family's fate depends on this matter.

Are you really the king's daughter born from a concubine?

I will ask you again.

Are you a princess or not?

Yes.

I'm sorry about this.

I wasn't trying to bossam you, but somehow...

... just know that this wasn't intentional.

I will undo your gag because you seem like you have something to say.

But please don't scream. Understand?

Yes.

Untie me immediately.

I understand your situation, so untie me.

Then I will forgive you for your sin.

Is that all you have to say?

Untie me this instant—

Hold on.

I must to go the outhouse.

To pee? Or to poo?

How dare you! Who are you to say such insolent things?

I told you, that was insolent.

Relieve yourself well.

Why did you come out?

Why?

- She's taking care of her business. - What business?

I thought a princess doesn't use the toilet.

- But what will you do now? - I don't know.

How can you not know, Father? You have to think of something.

This could become a disaster.

I know that, boy. I just have to finish things off well, don't I?

But how?

- Well. - I'm going crazy.

Because of you, Father, I'm getting old.

You're acting up again.

I'm going to meet Chun Bae, so guard her well.

But really, the princess pees?

I hate being unmarried. So sick of it.

Ba Wu, about that woman.

We went through so much trouble to abduct her.

How about taking her to some other man?

I'll look into a good candidate.

But is she pretty?

Is that important right now?

Of course it is.

Should I take her as my wife?

Stop saying bulls**t.

So she is pretty, huh?

Do you want her for yourself?

Oh, really... I ought to...

Hey, it's a joke. Can't I even make a joke?

If we can't, you can just take her back where she was.

Don't worry, don't worry.

We can just bring her back, and it does not matter.

See? It's totally quiet.

Who are those people? They aren't here to capture us, are they?

Father.

- What happened? - I urgently summoned the calvalry

and the private army will arrive soon.

Should I have the Westerners followed?

- Lord. - Come in.

I received a message that you should enter the palace.

His Majesty is urgently asking for you.

- For what matter? - I don't know.

The message only said that he is urgently asking for you.

What if His Majesty is looking for Sister-in-law?

Do you see this?

It is an appeal to release Seo Gung.

What do you think of it?

You should expel Seo Gung from the palace.

I told you that expulsion is not enough, didn't I?!

Seo Gung is a sinner who used her father to try and dethrone Your Majesty.

And so I killed her father, Kim Je Nam and the young Yeong Chang.

So now do you want me to become a son who kills his own mother?

If we leave Seo Gung alone,

she will collude with those with inscrutable loyalties

and is sure to bring trouble, Your Majesty.

Conspiracy! Conspiracy! These damned conspiracies!

So this is why you summoned your private army?

Fine. So who do I have to kill now?

Who should I kill?

Please speak! Who?!

I've spoken severely. Please forget about this.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.

How is Hwa In?

As you wished, Princess Hwa In

is doing well.

I heard that it was my son-in-law's death anniversary a few days ago.

Why haven't you spoken of it?

Am I mistaken about something?

No, your grace is immeasurable.

That you would care to know of the death anniversary of my incompetent child,

moved me so much that I could not speak.

He is my son-in-law, after all.

I should have taken greater care earlier.

I have given orders that we must make sure to observe the death anniversary next year.

So please don't feel too upset.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.

And please tell Hwa In to come to the palace tomorrow, because So Ui want to see her. (TN: So Ui - Royal Concubine of the Second Rank)

Why do you look so surprised?

Is there something else going on?

No, your request is so sudden, that is all.

Her mother lamented so much that her son-in-law's death anniversary passed without her knowing it.

So after thinking about it, I blamed myself for being too careless towards my only daughter.

So I thought I would take this opportunity to see her in person.

Would you like some?

I'm alright. You can eat it.

You don't have to observe your honor.

Honor doesn't feed you, after all.

I'm really alright.

My father said that there is nothing sadder than being hungry.

So please eat some.

Hurry now.

Is it because it's dirty because I've already eaten some?

No.

What do I do? There is no more rice left.

Should I cook another pot of rice?

No.

I will eat it, so give me a spoonful.

How do you like it?

It's delicious.

It's spring parsley, aster, and bracken.

I picked and dried them myself.

And I grew the sprouts myself, too.

You are praiseworthy for doing such things while so young.

No.

What is your name?

I am Cha Dol (little stone) because I am Ba Wu (boulder)'s son.

My father's name is Ba Wu...

He told me not to tell you.

It's alright. I promise you that I won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

You don't have a mother?

I don't. I heard that she ran away after falling in love with my father's friend.

Please also keep this a secret from my father.

Father thinks that I don't know about it.

I understand. I will promise you again.

If I untie you,

you won't run away, will you?

If you promise to not run away,

I will untie your hands.

It's uncomfortable to eat with your hands tied up.

Wasn't that the Minister and Vice Minister of Hongmungwan?

If you are curious, please look.

No, it's fine.

It seems to be an appeal for His Majesty. I shouldn't see it, should I?

I was requested to submit this appeal without your knowledge, Lord.

But since you found out, isn't it now useless?

The content is already obvious to you

and since you already suspect anyway, isn't it like you never saw it?

The Minister of Hongmungwan

tried to submit an appeal to have Sang Gung released from confinement again.

I've heard that before.

Of all things that go on in the palace.

there is nothing that escapes your notice, I heard.

That appears to be true.

People say such things? I believed otherwise.

If one is curious about what His Majesty is thinking,

they say that one should ask Court Lady Kim.

So I am curious about something.

His Majesty suddenly says that he wants to see Princess Hwa In.

And asked for her to come to the palace.

So I wonder if something is going on.

Since you suddenly asked to see me, I was anxious that something was going on.

But that's all you were curious about?

I was also wondering if you and I still had the same opinion regarding Seo Gung.

So I wanted to ask about that, as well.

Regarding Seo Gung, you probably already know without me saying anything more.

And regarding Princess Hwa In,

of course he asked her to come to the palace because he wants to see her.

After all, she is his daughter, who he treated preciously like a gem.

Why not just bring her to the palace?

So I don't know why you would be curious about that.

Has something happened to the princess, by any chance?

How can that be?

He asked to see her when it wasn't a special occasion.

So I was curious to see if something was going on, that is all.

But about the appeal to release Seo Gung from her confinement...

What you may have seen or heard, anything is fine.

Anyone who tell us useful information

or brings it to us, I will give a fitting reward.

What? Her Highness the Princess?

What terrible luck!

What kind of mess is this?

What will you do now?

Yes. Drink up.

I'm sure your insides are burning up right now.

I've been doing this for 10 years and saw all sorts of things.

But Princess? Can't believe this...

Should I kill her?

Even you, the biggest scum on earth, is scared. Babbling such nonsense.

Do you mean that? You must have gone mad.

How will you deal with the aftermath? Never mind.

Can you even kill someone?

That isn't something just anyone can do.

Come to your senses. You may have lost your mind, but come on.

You shouldn't even dare to speak of such things.

So what do we do?

If we get caught, we are all dead. Don't you know that?

But even so.

What did that woman do wrong?

Hey, they're looking for us, aren't they?

What do we do?

Did you say 'bossam?'

Yes. They say there has been many bossams recently.

There are guys who get paid to do that.

And that it's probably the work of those guys.

- So people actually do bossam for money? - Yes.

The truth is that we've also received reports of bossam at our station

so we've begun investigations.

So I asked the officers in charge about the details.

- Is that so? - Yes.

They typically target young widows

and there are so many widows after the Japanese invasion so business is booming.

So you believe that your sister-in-law became a target for those guys?

So did you find out their identities?

Apparently the investigation hasn't gotten that far.

And I can't officially ask specific questions regarding our matter, so...

I am sorry.

Can you find out today who these guys are?

I am trying to beat it out of the thugs.

The ones who want this and the one who do this work

are very secretive on all sides.

So it will take some time to find that out.

Yes, I don't think we can find out in just one or two days.

I will mobilize the officers

and try to track these guys, so if you can give me a few days—

No.

We must find her by tomorrow no matter what.

Has something happened in the palace?

Perhaps His Majesty...

He told me to bring her to the palace tomorrow.

What? And if we cannot find her by tomorrow,

what do you plan to do?

Let me help you with that.

It isn't easy, is it?

Let me try again.

Yes, try it again.

Can you pick that up for me?

I guess I'm not very good at this.

Try it again.

This is quite difficult.

Why don't you try it?

Don't laugh.

This is a girls' game, you know.

I am so good at games where you throw sticks and stones, you know.

I know, I believe you.

I'm telling you the truth.

I told you that I believe you.

I already know that you are good at everything, Cha Dol.

But must you go?

Didn't you agree to be my mom?

My father speaks roughly

but he is a nice person.

He grumbles a lot

but he's not like that on the inside.

Of course he detests pretty women because of my mom.

Hey!

Father!

I told you that pretty women are all wicked, didn't I?

- That's not what I meant. - Quiet. Come here.

I asked him to untie me because I urgently needed to use the toilet.

So don't scold Cha Dol.

Wow, you even know his name?

- Get on your knees and raise your arms as punishment. - Look here.

Now!

Yes.

- And you. - Insolent!

I really do not trust women.

You can trust me.

But if I hear that anyone is looking for me and my son,

you and I will, every night—

Stop.

You know what I mean, don't you?

That will never happen, so you must not say such filthy things ever again.

Filthy? Bulls**t. That's life, isn't it?

How dare you? I told you to stop.

Anyway, take care of yourself.

Why that hideous thing again?

This way, you won't know where our home is.

If we get caught, we will have to leave Hanyang.

So late at night ...

- Father, I'll be on the lookout. - Hey!

Father... Father, Father!

Please wait here for a moment.

What should we do when there are so many people?

What do you mean by that?

We have to leave her here.

What if no one knows and she dies?

Who is going to die?

Father... but still...

I'll find out what's happening.

Stay still and guard her, understood?

Excuse me... who are you saying has died?

The daughter-in-law of this noble household, the princess, hung herself.

What...? She hung herself?

Yes. When I first heard about it, I was also very surprised.

Wow, this royal family is something different.

I mean, even remaining a widow in this tough world nowadays,

but she followed her husband by hanging herself.

She is the most virtuous among all virtuous women.

I'm sure they will be awarded the red gate which praises a virtuous widow.

Your words are true, no need to say it twice.

- Right? - Yes.

Father.

Father...

Father...

What's done is done.

Even though you say your loyalty is big and wide,

You can't revive someone that has already died.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to die like this?

Or will you take this money and live?

Untie her gag.

You will receive divine punishment!

Kill me instead.

Later, when the king learns of this,

he will make you pay the price for the princess' and my grudge.

Father...

Cha Dol, Cha Dol, Cha Dol!

Cha Dol, what happened?

Cha Dol.

Cha Dol, Cha Dol.

What happened?

Didn't you promise that you will take me back?

Is your mouth stuck together? Quickly say something!

Am I not asking what happened?

Cha Dol, did you join your father to deceive me?

Father...

What is your reason? Tell me right now.

You are already dead.

When I went in front of your house, they were already hosting your funeral.

Since we can't return someone who is already dead,

I had no choice but to come back.

I can't believe it.

How dare you speak such falsehoods? Tell me the truth.

You committed suicide because you could not forget your dead husband.

They said that family will be awarded the red gate to praise a virtuous widow.

That is all that I heard.

Why... are they hosting a funeral when she's alive?

There exists a life that is alive but dead.

What's that?

First of all, get some sleep.

You too, Cha Dol.

Let's go to the palace.

I must meet His Majesty, my father.

Don't worry. I will petition my father, the king,

so that you won't be accused for your crimes.

I guess Cha Dol didn't tell you this.

What I trust less than a pretty woman is the king.

Our Hwa In... I must see her face.

Please let me at least see her face.

This is the last wish of a mourning mother.

My poor child...

Please let me just see her face.

Your Highnesss, as you must have suspected,

Because she hasn't died peacefully,

it was hard enough for me to see her body.

If you see it, the trauma will be worse.

I am very worried that your health may suffer due to the shock—

It doesn't matter.

I want to see her. I must see her.

If you see her, it will be harder on you. Just send her peacefully.

Rather than being seen in her final, damaged form,

she probably wants to be remembered by you in her past lovely form.

I told you that it doesn't matter!

It's not because I don't understand your feelings, Your Highness.

Although she may have been a princess

there are customs when it comes to funerals.

And her body was already washed and shrouded and put in her coffin.

Since you are asking to reopen the coffin,

I don't know what to do.

Your Majesty, I beg that you will hear us.

I beg that you will hear us!

Royal Consort,

Let's do as he says.

Even if you were to see her face, she won't even come back to life.

What's the use in that?

Your Majesty...!

Even if it's just for her final path, let's allow her to leave peacefully.

- Royal Consort! - Your Highness! - Royal Consort? - Your Highness!

One may say this is pathetic for a king,

but as her father, I cannot hide my grief.

I did not understand the princess' heart.

For my disloyalty which has resulted in such tragedy,

please punish me, Your Majesty.

No, she was your daughter-in-law, and therefore, your child as well.

I am sure that your grief is as great a mine, Vice Premier.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.

I don't believe it, but what can I do?

I have to believe it.

I really can't believe it.

As her mother, I know her better than anyone.

She's not someone who would ever take her own life.

Your Majesty, you know very well what kind of temperament she had.

I just cannot believe this, Your Majesty.

Royal Consort, please calm down.

You will faint again like this.

Court Lady Jo... I have to see her.

Now that I look at it, why don't I see Court Lady Jo?

Where is Court Lady Jo? Please call her.

That child...

Is it really true that she hung herself?

Why can't you speak?

Am I not asking if it is the truth?

It is the truth, Your Highness.

I couldn't believe it.

I wasn't able to believe it.

How can she do such a disgraceful act...?

What should this mother do, Hwa In...?

Oh, pitiful one...

Even the heaven was indifferent.

How hard must it have been on her...

How lonely must she have been...

It's all my fault.

I should have protected her.

She was never able to stand in a wedding ceremony, became a widow as a virgin

and sent to her marital home in a white palanquin (for virgin widows), and my heart was torn apart.

Our Hwa In, I allowed her to walk that final road by herself...

How lonely must she have been?

How scared must she have been....?

Oh, Hwa In. Hwa In...

This is all due to my negligence!

Please kill me, Your Highness!

Oh, Son, what is happening?

Baby, let's take our baby.

Do not forget that your mother and younger brother are alive because you kept your mouth shut.

And if you ever do open your mouth,

your mother and younger brother will die. Heed my words.

From today, you will live in Nae Byeol Dang.

You want me to serve Madam Haeindang instead of Her Highness the Princess?

Since the Princess you served died, isn't it natural?

Are you here?

What are you doing here, Sam Wol?

I received orders to serve Madam Haeindang starting today.

They aren't orders to serve Madam Haeindang

but to keep watch over me, probably? Isn't it?

I would also prefer to serve Young Master instead of Madam Haeindang.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Young Master.

Master went to Hapcheon.

Perhaps he's at Anseong by now?

We have to be on our way after having some hot bowls of rice and soup with a jug of wine.

For those guys over there, please give them plenty of vegetables.

I feel sorry for her, as she was so young.

But thanks to her, my back is suffering.

Why are you looking at me that way?

Seeing your appearance, you seem to be a messenger soldier. Is there some urgent news?

Yes. A report of death in the royal family.

So there is a tragedy in the royal family?

That's correct.

May I see that government newspaper?

Who are you to ask to look at that?

He is the esteemed son of the Vice Premier.

It's not illegal so please let him see it briefly.

After all, it's news that everyone in Hanyang knows already, isn't it?

And get yourself something to eat, while you're at it.

Wow. Sure.

Hey...

Is this really true?

What do you mean?

Is it true that Princess Hwa In really died?

Yes, I heard that His Majesty visited the Vice Premier's home.

Young Master.

I cannot let you go this way.

Until I see it clearly with my own eyes, I cannot believe it.

I will not believe it.

I am coming. I am on my way.

I cannot let you go like this. Never.

Father?

Your Highness the Princess?

Father.

Father?

Father??

Resent the fact that you are of royal birth.

Her face doesn't look like a prostitute.

There won't be trouble later?

No trouble, but there is a flaw.

She lost her husband and baby in a war and lost her mind.

She will claim that she is a princess or something. Just ignore it.

So she's gone completely crazy, huh?

So I'll sell her for cheap. If she was sane, would I bring her here?

I would have sold her to a courtesan house instead.

But something still smells fishy.

You said you will leave Hanyang anyway.

Once you go to Hasam Island, it doesn't matter if there is trouble anyway.

Fine. How much?

How much do you need?

Three nyang. No discount.

Three nyang? That's all?

You better not take back that offer.

You're a dead person anyway.

Rather than staying faithful as a young widow, how about changing your life?

They say that being alive is better than death, even if you're rolling in a field of dogs**t, don't they?

I would prefer it if you just kept her with you instead of making her a prostitute.

Aside from her losing her mind, you would never find a woman more beautiful than her.

That's up to me, so just take this and get lost.

No, don't do this!

Father, you are bad.

She's my mom. Don't sell her.

Won't you take your hands off her now?!

I don't want to. I won't let go.

I won't obey you, Father.

This naughty boy!

Father...

Pick up that money immediately.

Father...

Won't you pick it up right now?!

If you don't pick it up, you are no longer my son, got it?

Was she your wife?

You cruel bastard.

Shut your mouth.

I picked up the money.

Let's go home.

Father... Father!

Father!

Are you alright? Were you injured badly?

No. I'm fine.

That's fine, then.

You can get home from here by yourself, can't you?

Go home ahead and wait.

What about you, Father?

I will meet Chun Bae and go home.

Yes.

I told you to go home now.

Yes.

Gosh, this wench...

You are prettier, the more I look at you.

Your skin is like silk.

So what treasure are you hiding in here?

Shall I take a look?

Stay still.

No matter what you do, there is no one coming to save you.

Except for me, that is.

Hey!

What?

Sorry. Let's say this never happened.

What the... ?

I told you that I'm sorry.

Are you joking around?

Hey, do you think you can mess with me?

This bastard...

I'm sorry about this.

It took me a little while

to make up my mind. I'm sorry.

I will take you to the palace or wherever else you want.

Let's just go home for now.

Dae Yeop.

Is Sister-in-law behind there?

How did you find out and come home already?

- What will you do? - I must see her.

Without seeing her with my own eyes, I cannot believe this.

I cannot believe in anything.

What are you talking about now?

Get a hold of yourself.

What do you think you are doing?

Back away right now!

Father, I must see her.

Get this boy out of my sight right now!

Yes.

Court Lady Jo. Court Lady Jo!

Sister-in-law trust and depended on you so much, Court Lady Jo.

So futilely and so pitifully...

how can you let her leave this world this way?

How can you?!

I've committed a sin punishable by death.

Please kill me.

You ask me to kill you?

If you die, will Sister-in-law who died—

Stop this now.

Aunt.

Could she be feeling less grief than you?

She raised the princess by breastfeeding her herself.

You may not know this,

but the two people who were the most beloved and precious to her while she was alive

were you and Court Lady Jo.

To see the two of you in conflict like this,

the wife of my nephew would not want that.

The wife of my nephew that I knew wasn't someone who would do this.

I don't know how this could have happened.

I cannot accept or understand this, just as you cannot.

But it already happened. So what can we do?

So let's send her off in our hearts.

Dae Yeop.

Let's find closure.

Young Master.

Cha Dol.

Your Highness the Princess.

Cha Dol.

Father.

Go in and pack your things.

What things?

We will take the princess to the palace and leave Hanyang.

That way.

Actually, it's that way.

Madam Byeoldang.

Ba Wu! Run away!

R-r-run!

Hurry!

Chase them!

Run away!

Get away!

Run away! Run away!

Get them!

Hurry.

Search thoroughly.

Yes!

Search.

Hold on.

This way.

Search everywhere. You must find and kill them.

Who are you?

Sister-in-law?

Brother-in-law.

Sister-in-law, are you having any difficulties?

How did you come here, Brother-in-law?

Stop.

(MyDramaOppa.Com)

What I trust less than a pretty woman is the king.

How...

How can you?!

You are the cause of this situation.

Bossam - Steal the Fate

When my daughter-in-law is found, wherever that is, and whoever sees, make sure to kill her.

- Hey! - Go. - How can you expect me to run away by myself?

Please just go!

Once Her Highness the Princess enters the palace

does that mean we will never see her again?

She was never someone we are even allowed to see.

All pretty women are wicked, so don't get bewitched.

Let's go to the palace as we first planned.

Hold on.

I put someone on this, so make sure to not lose her and take care of her completely.

You are...

Please die, Your Highness the Princess.

Your Majesty.

Raise your head.
