ROOKIE HISTORIAN, GOO HAE-RYUNG

EPISODE 37

NOKSEODANG

Is it not in the back either?

No, there isn't even a trace.

By any chance, is there a possibility
that someone else has taken it already?

I lived here my whole life.

If something like that was found here,
I would have known for sure.

And before you began to live here,
this place was deserted for a long time,

so no one would have searched here.

I'll take another look over here.
You should get some rest.

I'm fine.

Your shoulder isn't even well yet.

If it gets infected,
it will give you a hard time.

-Why?
-Do you not care?

I might not be

the person you always thought I was.

Then what do you believe

I think of you?

To me, you are a weird person

who can write amazing romance novels

when you don't know a thing about women.

Also, you're someone
who's scared of tigers,

but who can do anything
when it comes to love.

And you never even
pick a flower recklessly.

You always leave rice grains
on the windowsill for birds.

That is

the Prince Dowon that I know.

You'll always be the person I know.

Eunuch Hong Il-seop
of Office of Eunuchs. Get him!

Darn it.

Come in.

He made a confession.
It was the Queen Dowager's doing.

-Tell them to report it as it is.
-Yes, my lord.

Are you saying the Queen Dowager was
the one who spread The Story of Ho Dam?

Yes, we received a report
from the Royal Investigation Bureau.

They questioned the court ladies
involved in this incident,

and they all confessed that
they followed her order.

Your Majesty, forgive me for saying this.

But The Story of Ho Dam is
a completely made-up story

written by the remnants of Seoraewon

to praise the dethroned King's
odd behaviors.

What do you reckon it means
if such a book was found

within the Queen Dowager's place?

On top of that, she was
the mother of the dethroned King--

So what? Are you suggesting that
the Queen Dowager of this country was

secretly in league with the traitors?

Your Royal Highness.

I do not believe that the Queen Dowager is
involved in this incident.

However, what we do know clearly is
that the remnants of Seoraewon have

deeply infiltrated the palace
to cause division.

How can we just sit around and watch this?

Your Majesty, the safety
of the royal family is at stake.

Please close the Queen Dowager's place
and interrogate the court ladies

to find out who's behind this.

Don't let them, Your Majesty.

If you let them interrogate
the court ladies of her place,

it's as good as announcing that
the Queen Dowager is behind this.

That's just speculation.

I just wish to root out
the remnants of Seoraewon.

I am not claiming that
the Queen Dowager is guilty.

The things of the Inner Palace
can't be dealt with in the royal court.

This is the royal family's trouble.
Let me take care of this.

-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.

Silence!

Give me some time to think.

Your Majesty.

You cannot let the Second State Councillor
have his way with this.

You must give me permission.

Like I said, I'll think about it.

You should go for now.

You must turn it down at once.

How can you ignore his plan to cut off

the Queen Dowager's hands and feet

-and confine her within her place?
-I told you to leave.

I can't back down.

The Second State Councillor is

the treacherous one
who blames the innocent Queen Dowager

and who wants to divide up
the royal family.

Your Majesty!

What do you know to meddle with this?

It's all for your sake.

It's all to protect you

from Prince Dowon.

What do you mean?

Did you honestly

have no idea?

That he's the dethroned King's son?

-Father.
-Yes.

He was born
as the crown prince of this country.

He's the eldest son
of that legitimate King, Yi Gyeom.

The Queen Dowager is

trying to enthrone Prince Dowon
instead of you.

She's dragging in
the remnants of Seoraewon

and spreading Yi Gyeom's stories
all over the palace

for Prince Dowon,

Yi Rim's sake.

Two decades have passed
ever since I took the throne.

But there are scholars
all over the land of Joseon

speaking of the legitimacy
of my enthronement.

That's how important your birth is.

From the moment you are born
until the day you die,

you cannot get rid of it

no matter how much you try.

So if the Queen Dowager
uses the most legitimate Prince Dowon

to create influence of her own

and bring up the rebellion
from 20 years ago,

what do you think will happen?

Even if you become the king,

you'll forever be the king
that stole the throne

from the direct descendant.

I know for a fact that you'll be
a better king than me.

That's why I must come to a decision.

So please do not get in my way.

Just stay quiet...

and wait.

-Take them!
-Yes, master!

Your Majesty.

Your Royal Highness,
please order them to stop at once.

Your Majesty.

Don't get flustered.

The king felt cornered
and made the wrong choice.

He may be the king,

but he chose to attack his own mother.

So that will enrage the Confucian scholars
throughout the country.

I see that you come here very often.

Why do you need the records on Nokseodang?

I don't really know.
I'm just following orders.

Thank you.

Hey, wait. Is that all?

Did he mention that he's going to help me
get promoted or anything like that?

-He did ask me to tell you something.
-What's that?

He told me that he'll rip your tongue out
if you ever go around telling people

that Prince Dowon asked
to see a few records

from the Royal Secretariat.

-Have a good day.
-Okay.

Let's think from the very beginning.

If I were Officer Kim Il-mok...

Nokseodang would've been
the best place to hide something

since it was practically abandoned
and was very remote from the main palace.

The daily record needs to be safe
from sunlight and rain,

so it can't be the garden.

This spot is damp and filled with bugs,

so it's definitely not here.

It can't be somewhere that's easy to find.

But it can't be somewhere
that's impossible to find either.

That gate got repaired 19 years ago.

They laid new roof tiles 15 years ago.

The mud walls went through repair work
eight years ago.

So it can't be any of them.

NOKSEODANG

Apprentice Goo.

It's not time for you to be here yet.

Your Highness, this signboard...

When did you replace it?

-The signboard?
-It looks new.

But it doesn't say
the Board of Public Works replaced it.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS:
IN CHARGE OF BUILDINGS

Oh, well...

I'm not sure.

That was probably there
before His Highness moved here.

It's strange that it never rots.
Also, the color never fades.

NOKSEODANG

Be careful. Be gentle, Your Highness.

My goodness. Your Highness, please.

My gosh, what is this?

It's chuanxiong and calamus.

They're used to store history records.

SEORAEWON

Is this the daily record

we've been looking for?

Yes, I saw the word "Seoraewon"
written on the record.

It's from the year of gyeongo.

Your Highness.

No, Your Highness. It's a daily record.

You're not allowed to read it.

What do you mean?

I know it's been hidden for a long time,

but it's still a daily record
written by a historian.

Only historians are allowed to read it.

Then

are you telling me not to do anything

even after I found it?

Regardless of what's written
on this daily record,

it's up to the historians to read it

and decide what to do.

Your Highness.

Please wait a little bit.

No.

I can't wait anymore.

I don't care about that right now.

-Your Highness.
-I've been wondering my whole life.

All my life, I had to wonder

why His Majesty hated me so much,

and why I always had to be locked up here.

How do you expect me to wait

when the answer is right in front of me?

I'm going to read this
no matter what you say.

So you can tell His Majesty
or His Royal Highness

that Prince Dowon
broke the law of this country.

-Then you would've done your part.
-Your Highness.

-How can I--
-If you can't do that,

I'll do it myself.

Your Highness, you can't do this! Please!

-Please don't do this.
-Get out of my way.

You cannot keep that daily record!

If you do this,

you don't know what might happen to you.

Your Highness!

I'll... I'll tell you everything.

I'll...

I'll tell you everything.

Please don't go.

Your Highness.

His Majesty ordered
not to let anyone inside.

Please return.

Do you think
it will be difficult for me to kill you?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

-Your Highness.
-Tell her I'm here.

-Your Majesty--
-Tell him to come inside.

Prince Dowon, what brings you here?

Please sit down.

Did something happen?

Prince Dowon.

Why did you make me become a prince?

Why did you

make me live this kind of life?

I thought

everything was my fault.

I thought His Majesty hated
and neglected me

and made me lead

a solitary life in Nokseodang
like I didn't exist

because I wasn't good enough for him,
and I blamed myself for that.

But...

it was merely because

of the promise you had made
with His Majesty?

He spared my life
in exchange for the throne?

That's why

I had to live...

such a lonely

and miserable life?

You should have just

let me die as the dethroned king's son.

That

would have been better for me.

I would have rather died

than to have...

blamed and hated myself

my entire life.

Prince Dowon.

Please forgive me.

I had already lost my son
to those traitors.

And I couldn't afford to lose
my grandson as well.

I had to save you.

I had to protect you.

Did you really think

that would be the best for me?

I was guilty of having lived
when I should have died.

And you saw me
having to pay for that every single day.

But did you think that was okay

since I was able to stay alive?

Grandmother.

All my life,

I felt like I was being punished
for no reason.

I'm sick of that now.

I'm so sick and tired
of living in this palace

and living as Prince Dowon.

I just want...

to let go of everything.

No.

Don't get swayed.

Everything will soon go back
to where it belongs.

You're the only true royal heir
of this country.

I will help you

take back the royal throne.

And when I do that,

no one will be able to hurt you anymore.

Prince Dowon.

I also

had to live...

in utter agony for the past 20 years.

Prince Hamyeong killed my son,

and every time I had to hear him
call me "mother,"

I felt like someone was
ripping my limbs apart,

and I burned with fury deep down inside.

But...

I still continued to live for your sake.

So please do the same

and continue to live for me.

Please endure this.

No.

No.

Think of your father who had to die

even when he did nothing wrong.

Please endure it for him.

Stay strong for a bit longer,

Prince Dowon.

You must do that.

My goodness.

Clerk Song is finally back.

Clerk Song.

Are you going to start working again?

Do you feel better now?

Your beautiful face became so scrawny.

I'm sorry.

I heard you got in trouble because of me.

Gosh, no.

It's all in the past now. It's okay.

Let's go eat something delicious tonight.

You finally came back,

but the palace is a complete mess.

We can't enter the Inner Palace
for a while.

-What happened?
-Don't even get me started.

The forbidden book called
The Story of Ho Dam caused a big mess.

The Second State Councillor
accused the Queen Dowager,

and His Royal Highness
refused to accept it.

And now, everyone's banned
to visit the Queen Dowager.

The palace guards are everywhere.

That's practically the same thing

as confining the Queen Dowager.

It's like we're living
in a barbaric country.

How could they do that to an elder?

Hey, don't even bother
talking about something so sensitive.

You'd better watch your mouths.

During times like this,

people always come
to hear stories from us.

Go home as soon as you get off work.

And don't even think of drinking, okay?

-Okay.
-Okay.

What is it that you wish to tell me?

There's something I need to ask.

What is it?

I heard there have been a few times
where historians revised the annals.

What kind of situation
calls for a revision?

Historians may write down the facts,

but vassals that control
the government office

can get swayed by the trend
and their parties.

So when the annals of history
seem incorrect

and unjust,

we follow the royal order
and create a revised version.

We leave the original copy and leave it

to the future generation
to judge what happened.

But why are you asking me that?

I found Officer Kim Il-mok's

-daily record.
-What do you mean?

I got help from an officer
who participated

in recording the dethronement
of the previous king 20 years ago.

And I heard those records

were based on lies.

Are you telling me...

that a historian edited the daily records?

Yes.

The late Officer Kim died
because he refused to follow such orders.

Who in the world...

Who...

Officer Min.

Shouldn't we

reveal the truth?

No, don't do that.

That's not up to a historian.

I can't let you do that.

Have you forgotten?

What you're about to do
could end up killing the innocent.

-"The innocent?"
-Yes.

Are you sure it's not because
your father was involved?

They got credit and are living comfortably

for having taken part in the restoration,

but they can’t be considered innocent.

The innocent are the dethroned king

and the people of Seoraewon
who were condemned

for having disobeyed the noblemen

and dreamed of creating a new world.

They're the ones who are innocent.

Twenty years ago,

historians were ordered
to edit the daily records,

and the historian who refused to do that
got executed.

That's a fact.

If you disregard this
and say it's up to the royal court,

I will no longer be able

to respect you as my senior.

Father.

OFFICIAL APPOINTMENT CERTIFICATE

I am proud of you.

-I am truly proud of you.
-Well done.

EPISODE 38 WILL AIR SHORTLY

EPISODE 38

My lady.

What are you up to these days
behind my back?

-What?
-Well...

Some scholar is here to see you,

and his face is also...

It's quite sublime.

Many years ago,

when I was going through a hard time,

I came across this passage.

"Even the most powerful minister's
authority

cannot last for decades,

and yet historians' words

silently live for thousands of years."

That one sentence inspired me

to become a historian.

I hoped that my words would become a pilju

that shows people

what is right and wrong
even though I can't

change anything right at this moment.

PILJU: ACT OF REWARDING
OR PUNISHING SOMEONE THROUGH WRITING

In other words, I didn't start out

as someone who just records
what he sees or hears.

-Officer Min.
-Do not worry about me.

We are simply doing our jobs

as historians.

Wait, why does it say this?

This is completely different
from the facts that we know.

Are you sure Officer Kim Il-mok
wrote this?

Or is this just some random document
that you found?

It is Officer Kim Il-mok's handwriting.

I've seen his writing.

Does that mean what's written
in this daily record is true?

The dethroned king wasn't Catholic,

and Seoraewon was
just an educational institution?

That cannot be true.
It means His Majesty tortured and punished

all those innocent people
just to ascend the throne.

The two of you should tell us
what you know.

You were at Sungkyunkwan 20 years ago,

so I'm sure you saw or heard some things.

Well, things were quite chaotic back then.

I don't know
what those at Seoraewon were up to,

but people covered in blood
were being carried out every day.

And we used to see foreigners
walking freely in the heart of the city.

That's why scholars at Sungkyunkwan
even began a gonggwan.

GONGGWAN: GOING HOME AS A PROTEST

It didn't end there.

Everyone said we should submit a petition,

so I signed one too.

So did the rebellion take place

because of Seoraewon?

The dethroned king's secret letter
was the final straw.

It was a letter to a French Catholic
priest who was in Qing at the time.

It was about wanting
to turn Joseon into a Catholic nation

and how he should send priests to Joseon
to propagate Catholic beliefs.

But it got caught
before it could cross the borders.

But this reads...

"His Majesty summoned
a student at Seoraewon.

'Thank you for sending me the book.

Let us go to Kumgangsan together
next time you are in Joseon.'"

That was what the student was told
to write in the letter.

Someone changed

the content of the letter.

To justify the dethronement.

That means...

It wasn't to set things right.
It was treason.

Clerk Song, watch your mouth.

-Do you even realize what that means?
-Regardless of what it was,

-I absolutely cannot let this slide.
-Officer Yang!

This isn't about whether
the dethroned king was falsely accused.

It is not about the royal court.

It boils down to whether or not

someone threatened historians
to manipulate the records.

How dare someone alter historical facts?

Do we have to sit in on every meeting,

write down
every single thing that we hear,

and work even after we go home
to put up with this?

We'll find out if it was manipulated

and what kind of lunatic did it.

We must find out the truth to protect
the honor of the Office of Royal Decrees.

Go and get me

a full list of the historians
that were at Ilgicheong at the time.

Here, sir.

The Chancellor was in charge

of all the historians at the time.

What brings you here?

There is something
we must discuss with you.

Is that true? You found Officer
Kim Il-mok's original daily records?

Yes, my lord.

Where did you...

Never mind.

So? Where is it?

-Let me see it first.
-We are not here to show it to you.

We are here to ask you about
the unjust things that happened

at Ilgicheong back then.

What are you talking about?
What do you mean by "unjust things"?

What happened at Ilgicheong?

We have a statement by a historian
who partook in manipulating the records,

and Officer Kim Il-mok's records

tell us a story that is different
from the facts we know.

My lord, do you truly not know
anything about it?

-You are out of line.
-My lord.

I cannot tolerate
your impudence any longer.

How dare you historians act as if
you are judges with a few pieces of paper?

How much longer must we, ministers,
put up with your insolence?

You went on a strike and even made
His Majesty apologize to you,

so it is now time for you
to cooperate with us for a change!

Please leave.

I do not need to hear
anything else from you.

Shall I order someone
to drag you all out of here?

My lord, were you not

a historian once yourself?

I am aware that you are now one of
the core officials of the royal court,

but you worked at the
Office of Royal Decrees for over a decade.

I've heard that you decided to become

a historian
with the determination that you'd never

fear anyone with power even if it is
the king, inspired by the historians,

Dong Hu and Min In-saeng.

Is that spirit

completely gone now?

The day before his execution,
Officer Kim Il-mok said

that he'd like to record the final truth
through his death.

As historians, we do not want

to feel ashamed before his faith.

Please help us.

I implore you.

-Please help us.
-Please help us.

HO DAM AND YEONGAN

"Ho Dam and Yeongan.

This is where the path was made"?

It is Prince Huiyeong, Yi Gyeom.

I did hear about him in passing
when I was little.

I was told that I should never
speak about him.

Rim.

But this reads...

"His Majesty summoned
a student at Seoraewon.

'Thank you for sending me the book.

Let us go to Kumgangsan together
next time you are in Joseon.'"

That was what the student was told
to write in the letter.

Someone changed the content of the letter.

Jae-gyeong.

Can you really read this?

Of course.

"A king must support people with talent

and respect all forms of art."

What do you think? Impressive, right?

Which country speaks this language?

A faraway country called France.

I'll teach you when you're older.

Okay.

"What will you choose?
Dog poop or cow poop?"

Hae-ryung. I will...

I will always be here for you.

However, what I'm afraid of
is neither the epidemic nor the people.

I'm afraid of being so far away from you.

Gosh, you silly goose.

Next is a petition from
Im Sang-hyeon from the Office of Censors.

"I have gathered

opinions of scholars at academies
and local schools across the country

and found out that most scholars insist
what was done

to the Queen Dowager is immoral.

This is worsening
public sentiment toward--"

Come again? "Immoral"?

What do those scholars in the countryside
even know? How dare they lecture us?

Your Royal Highness,
please do not be concerned.

We are sending an official letter

to each county to inform the people

that it was all caused by the schemes
of the remnants of Seoraewon.

-Things will quiet down soon.
-Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Public sentiment changes all the time.

The people are fickle-minded.

They are easily swayed
like reeds in the wind.

Today...

Let us finish here.

Your Royal Highness.

We still have a petition
from the Office of Royal Decrees.

Officer Min, that is...

How dare you do this without going through
the Royal Secretariat?

It's a petition written
by Apprentice Goo Hae-ryung.

An apprentice?

How dare a female historian
without any official rank--

The female historians
are government officials as well.

"I, Apprentice Goo Hae-ryung, submit this

to ask you to look into
a suspicious incident from the past."

A witness says the daily record,

submitted to Ilgicheong 20 years ago,

was fabricated,

and we have the daily record
to prove that.

The historian, who tried his best
to protect the truth,

sacrificed his life to do his duty,

so his fellow historians who are alive
wish to right the wrongs

to pass down only true facts.

I implore you

to find out who threatened and persuaded

the historians at Ilgicheong
to distort the historical facts

and which of the historians

betrayed their principles and ingratiated
themselves with those in power.

Please find out the truth.

"Find out the truth"?
What exactly do you mean by that?

We request a comprehensive
and fair investigation

of all the 42 officials that were involved
in the dethronement process.

What do you mean "investigation"?
Leave at once!

How dare you relay a female historian's
words to us, calling it a petition?

This is not just from her.

It is from the entire
Office of Royal Decrees.

This is a request by all the historians.

Your Royal Highness,
this is a groundless accusation.

I was one of the historians
at Ilgicheong back then.

What? The records were manipulated?
That is simply impossible!

Your Royal Highness.

I was in charge of managing
all the historians 20 years ago,

but I know nothing about the records
being manipulated.

However...

However, the historians do have a point.

It is their duty

to record history as truthfully
as possible for our future generations,

so if there are such suspicions,

we should look into it and find out
whether they are true or not.

-Chancellor.
-Chancellor.

The Chancellor is absolutely right.

Anyone who tries to distort
historical records

deserves capital punishment.

Please form a special investigation
committee and find out the truth.

I will...

-not allow that.
-Your Royal Highness.

I will not accept

any more petitions regarding this.

Gosh, why are they taking so long?

I cannot wait any longer.
I shall go and try to eavesdrop on them.

-Okay, hurry.
-Go.

Officer Yang, how did it go?

His Royal Highness said
we should never even bring it up again.

I heard it's regarding an urgent matter.

Did something happen to the Queen Dowager?

Those at the Office of Royal Decrees
found Kim Il-mok's daily records.

A female historian named Goo Hae-ryung

submitted a petition,
requesting an investigation

of what happened at Ilgicheong.

So what happened?
Did they accept the request?

No, His Royal Highness did not approve it.

He knows that digging into that incident

from 20 years ago
will only threaten his position.

If His Royal Highness has decided
not to support the historians,

we don't know what Min Ik-pyeong
will do now.

Actually, I think we can wait a little

and see what happens next.

They are historians.

As long as they have
all the daily records,

even the Second State Councillor
won't have any excuses to harm them.

That won't matter to Min Ik-pyeong.

If needed, he will even use the military
to threaten the Office of Royal Decrees.

If he goes that route,

it will give us the most perfect reason
to raise an army.

Don't worry.

If he harms the historians in any way,

I will mobilize my soldiers
at the Military Training Corps immediately

and punish Min Ik-pyeong for treason.

I really don't want to work anymore.

I mean, why work so hard?

They'll change it however they wish
later on anyway.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm wondering why historians
are even needed

and why
the Office of Royal Decrees exists.

It is too early to be let down.

If Apprentice Goo's petition
gets rejected,

we'll submit another one in my name.

If that also gets rejected, we'll file
another one in Apprentice Oh's name.

We will keep going
until it gets approved. We can do this!

-That's right!
-Hey.

Didn't you see His Royal Highness earlier?

If we bring it up again,
a bloodbath may sweep across the palace.

It is very odd though.

His Royal Highness
would never ignore our opinion like this.

Enough, all of you.
Let's get our work done first.

Only then can we have time
to come up with a solution together.

Hae-ryung.

I'll keep it short.
You still have some time.

Leave the city for the time being.

Jae-gyeong.

This is about all the historians now.

It is not something
that mere historians can handle.

Investigating what happened at Ilgicheong?

Do you realize what that means?

It means the historians wish to judge

whether the dethronement
was a just decision.

Since your name has been brought up,

the Second State Councillor
won't let it slide.

Even the Office of Royal Decrees
is no longer safe.

So please...

Stop here and leave.

Hae-ryung!

Is it because of guilt?

Is that why

you are so protective of me?

I always thought
something didn't quite add up.

I wondered how the two of us could survive

when everyone else at Seoraewon
died on the same day

and how you managed to land

a position in the government
when you used to work at Seoraewon.

Was all of that possible...

because you swapped the dethroned king's
letter with a fake one?

But I still...

don't resent you.

I'm sure

you had a reason.

And you've already

punished yourself...

by protecting me
and looking after me for all those years

while suffering all by yourself.

So,

you no longer need to carry

all the burden by yourself,

Jae-gyeong.

I thought we had finally managed
to silence the Queen Dowager.

Where did Kim Il-mok's daily records
even come from out of the blue?

Not a day goes by without trouble
here in the royal court.

Chancellor,
why did you take the historians' side?

What if they find out
that it was, in fact, altered?

You and I will be the first ones
to lose our lives

as we were historians back then.

Look, do you think I sided with them
because I actually wanted to?

The special investigation committee
will not be formed anyway.

At least one of us
had to act like we support them,

or they'll raid our office again
with an axe.

We were lucky because
His Royal Highness didn't approve it,

but who knows
what those historians will do next?

We should get the military involved

to silence the historians.

The petition was submitted
by Apprentice Goo Hae-ryung.

Third Inspector Goo's sister.

Where is he now?

He is in Chungcheong Province on duty.

Actually, he should've been back
a few days ago.

We have no way of reaching him though.

Lord Min, are you thinking...

My gosh!

What's going on? Who are you guys?

Excuse me. Lord Goo is...

What is happening?

Let's go.

What is this about?

Your Highness, His Royal Highness
has asked us not to let anyone in.

You may let him in.

Your Highness.

I have to go over this petition.

Is it something urgent?

I heard you rejected
the historians' petition.

So?

Form a special investigation committee

to find out who did it
and what they wanted to hide--

Why are you curious about that?

Perhaps what you truly want is

proving that the dethronement was wrong,
not finding out what was buried.

Did you

know about it too?

The fact that
I am the dethroned king's son.

No. You are His Majesty's son,
and a prince of this kingdom.

Hence, you should never forget your duty.

What exactly is that duty of mine
that you are speaking of?

Just being the powerless,
weak, pathetic prince

who is confined to his residence?

Yes. That is your duty.

You cannot and should not do anything.

That is you, Prince Dowon.

I don't know since when you were so
interested in the royal court's affairs,

but such political matters
should not concern you. Now, leave.

I have made up my mind
not to live like that any longer.

I will right the wrongs

and punish those who did bad deeds.

-Rim.
-Even you...

won't be able to stop me.

Send palace guards to Nokseodang at once!

Prince Dowon

must not even step out of his residence.

Apprentice Goo, have you heard the news?

His Highness can't leave Nokseodang.

Let me through.

I am a historian. Please let me in.

His Royal Highness has ordered us
to strictly guard Nokseodang.

Even historians aren't allowed to enter?

How is this considered "guarding"?

Your Highness.

Subtitle translation by Liya Choi

Please do not forget

that you two can be here now
because of my decision 20 years ago.

The dethroned king's son is alive.

And that's why the people of Seoraewon
are continuing to have false hope.

Prince Dowon will vanish soon.

I am no longer Prince Dowon.

I am the son of Yi Gyeom, Prince Huiyeong.

-I am Yi Rim.
-Even if you slash my throat,

we, historians, will continue writing.
