Original subtitles

We still have a long way to go.

Will you continue walking?

When will I ever get the chance to walk outside the palace

so leisurely like this?

That is why I suggested that you should come out more often.

Every time I decide to make a trip far away, it troubles our people.

How could I dare to easily take such a trip like this?

Your Majesty.

-Protect His Majesty! -Yes, sir!

Hurry up.

Are you okay, Your Majesty?

"The King will cry bitterly after losing his child."

I said I will tell you if you let me go.

Can't you understand what's going on?

You must be the one who doesn't understand what's going on.

I guess you do not need your ledger.

You little...

Would you like a few scars

on that pretty face of yours?

Put that down.

My goodness.

I am seeing a lot of familiar faces today.

Master Gyeon.

Guys, you should welcome our guest.

Move.

What are you doing, you punks?

What the hell?

Master Gyeon!

Master Gyeon...

You should have brought a more useful weapon.

That fan of yours is not enough to confront us.

What was that?

Gosh.

Who is that?

-What? -Hey, go!

Let us go.

What? They are running away!

Get them!

Are you all right?

Why are you making that strange face?

Guktaeminan.

I was praying for

the wellness of the country and subjects.

What? "Guktaeminan"?

Don't you know you should make a wish when the lanterns fly?

Is my face the lantern?

By the way,

why aren't you wearing shoes?

What? Where did they go?

Well...

Who ordered you to do this?

I told you many times.

I only wanted to find my stolen ledger back.

I would've been okay wearing your shoes.

Then I would have had no shoes to wear.

It was more comfortable than I expected though.

You can return those flowery shoes then.

You gave this to me already. Don't be so cheap.

Master Gyeon.

The King is going back to the palace.

Hurry up.

Excuse me. Let me through.

Your Majesty.

Why are you back so early?

Your Majesty.

The King has turned so pale.

Father.

The Princess.

Where is she?

Your Majesty.

-Is she inside? -Pardon?

That is...

Gosh.

Father.

Has everything been well today?

Yes, Father.

It is fine then.

Get some rest.

Gosh, it is so hot.

So hot.

Princess.

Are you sure everything is all right?

Yes, Your Highness.

Master Gyeon!

Yes, here!

How did it go?

Master Gyeon...

Was she caught?

His Majesty

wants to see you.

Me?

Father.

Look at your pitiful face.

My apologies.

Sorry!

Is it fun to tease me?

You get scared too easily for a man.

Anyway,

I am glad this went well.

What is this?

Well... Use this medicine however you want.

Well, then. Bye.

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Do not sneak outside the palace from now on.

Please behave like a princess.

-Give it to me right now. -Manners.

Don't be so impolite to me,

and treat me as the Prince's teacher.

I will give this back to you if you promise.

Then I shall forget everything about

how sassy you behaved outside the palace.

Sure, I promise.

If that is what you want.

Please give my jade ring back.

Please keep it well.

Do not lose it again.

Gosh!

While you are at it,

forget about that too.

Then this sassy Princess will leave you now.

My apologies.

THE KING WILL CRY AFTER LOSING HIS CHILD

I guess this was done by those who made the jirashis.

Do you have any idea who they might be?

No one ordered me to do such a thing!

I just did it because of my ledger!

Nothing else!

Don't stop until he tells the truth.

Yes, sir.

I am glad that you found it.

Did you thank Master Gyeon?

He's the one who lost it. It's only fair that he finds it.

Still, you should admit that he went through a lot.

He must have suffered

from all the physical and emotional suppression.

What? By whom?

To be honest, you lost--

I will leave you now. Goodnight.

Goodness.

So why behave so arrogantly?

Put that down.

Master Gyeon!

He injured his arm... Maybe I shouldn't have kicked his leg.

Whatever.

How did it go?

Are you hurt?

Don't tell anything about this to Mother.

What about that sassy girl?

She's perfectly fine.

By the way,

why were you in that spooky place?

What?

Just...

I am getting sleepy now. Goodnight!

She should thank me

if I give her sincere advice.

She kicks me all the time.

Does she think she is a bully or something?

I even shed blood because of her.

I really should not face her again.

Gosh.

She's carrying fire in one hand and water in the other.

Please keep this safe with you.

I shall return no matter what.

These jirashis have created lies,

made a fool out of the Royal Family,

and deceived me, the King.

Those jirashis are only rumors.

The Princess and the Prince are safe.

Please do not worry anymore, Your Majesty.

They were fully aware of your move.

Perhaps, there are spies within the palace.

"Spies"?

There is no way.

How can you be so sure?

There might be spies right here.

That is absurd, Chief Scholar Gyeon.

That's nonsense.

Chief Scholar Gyeon is right.

It is possible

that spies sneaked into the palace.

We shall investigate this thoroughly.

If it is true, we shall put an end to it.

What's your plan?

It is only natural the water flows through its way.

If it becomes a puddle,

we just have to make a new way.

A new way?

THE BUTCHER'S

Which family are you from?

Why? Are you thinking about abusing your family's power over mine?

You seem to have experience in abusing your power.

I have searched everywhere with the others.

There is no such girl in the capital.

Are you saying that she fell from the sky or something?

Lady Da-yeon.

What brings you here?

I have a favor to ask you.

I will do whatever you ask.

There is a crazy and obsessive woman

clinging to Master Gyeon these days.

I would like you to find out about that girl.

Do you think I have time to do such things?

I know it's your duty to prevent disorderly conduct.

That is right.

It is the first favor I ask of you.

I would be disappointed if you reject.

That Gyeon U!

What happened to his trace?

-We are looking for it. -Indeed.

-We are working hard on it. -With our eyes wide open.

Then why are you here?

Go and search!

Let us go.

Wait.

Find out about the crazy and obsessive woman too.

The crazy and obsessive woman? But...

Never mind.

What? Say it.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Just find the crazy girl.

The girl clinging to Gyeon U!

-I see. -I see. The crazy girl.

Seeing that Lady Da-yeon is looking for that girl

she must certainly be

interested in Gyeon U.

Of course.

She wouldn't look for such girl if she had no interest in him.

-Right. -I see.

Stop talking nonsense and find her.

See you later.

It seems like it's right in front of me.

What are you doing here?

Go back to your places.

It enables you to see things far away from you.

It is called a telescope.

I think my sister will like this very much.

I see.

By the way, I do not see her around today.

We can finally focus on our studies.

Studying with her is fun though.

Your Highness.

If you're done using the telescope, please take out your homework.

Master, I am not done using this telescope yet.

There is my sister.

She is with Lieutenant Gang.

There you go. You look serious again.

I just got involved with some scoundrels by accident.

I will be careful from now on--

Never go outside the palace again.

If you do,

I shall report this to the King immediately.

Why are you being like this? You're scaring me.

Please

be careful.

Lieutenant Gang.

Goodness.

What were they talking about?

Let us begin with our class.

Well...

According to Confucius,

you never earn anything

if you do not think after your lesson.

He also said if you think only without learning,

it will be too risky.

Hyemyeong.

You are here, Your Highness.

Master Gyeon.

Why did you steal a glance at me?

What do you mean?

I was admiring the dragon head decoration

on the pavilion made by a craftsman.

Master Gyeon, the pavilion is on the other side.

I was mistaken then.

Master Gyeon, are you interested in me?

Excuse me?

Master Gyeon! Is that true?

It is all right, so be honest.

Don't be shy because the Prince is here.

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

It is not a crime to be drawn to a beautiful woman.

I fully understand.

But wake up.

Even if someone offers me a huge amount of gold

to be with a sly person like you, I would still refuse.

I cannot stand this anymore.

Your Majesty, Master Gyeon is here to see you.

Did you go outside the palace again?

You do not deserve to be a princess.

Guards!

Dethrone the Princess...

and lock her inside the chest.

-Yes, Your Majesty. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Father!

Father!

Let go!

Father, I have something to say.

Please lock Master Gyeon up with me.

It was Master Gyeon

who talked me into going to the festival.

What?

Your Majesty, I am innocent!

-Please save me. -Come here.

-Please! -I will not be lonely in here.

Your Majesty!

No way.

What would be a good way to tame that wild Princess?

Where did everyone go?

Your Highness, the Queen is looking for you.

Why are you doing this? Why...

You should greet your mother first--

I asked you why you are doing this.

Do you really not know?

They have done nothing wrong.

They did not serve their master right.

They did wrong enough.

Just punish me instead.

How can I?

Continue hitting them.

Stop.

What are you doing?

I said to punish them!

What are you doing?

Hit me instead.

Do you think I won't do it?

What is going on?

The Princess went outside the palace?

I went to talk to her yesterday,

but she wasn't in her residence all day.

She could have been in somewhere else inside the palace.

This is not all.

Even when His Majesty returned to the palace,

she was sitting in her room sweating profusely with dirt on her feet.

I am certain.

Seeing her acting innocent after deceiving her father,

I was very upset.

My apologies.

How should I deal with it?

-We should let His Majesty know-- -Let it slide.

Pardon? But...

The King is under a lot of stress already.

There is nothing good about letting him know of this.

Of course,

I do not want him to worry.

Alright then.

Be generous and let it slide this time.

You gave her a lesson today as well.

She must be repenting now.

Your Highness,

don't be so upset.

I am sorry. It is all because of me.

We are really fine.

Right, Byeol?

Right, we are fine.

There is nothing to be upset about.

-Yeong-sin. -Yes, Your Highness.

-It is not enough. -Pardon?

The bandage is too short for you.

You need to lose some fat on your legs.

What do you mean? It's swollen because of the beating!

If you say so.

I'm telling you the truth!

Stay still.

You are such a crybaby.

How come there are so few books?

Did all the writers slack off?

Goodness.

Seriously.

Master Gyeon.

This is the most popular book these days.

THE PRINCESS' PRIVATE LIFE

"The Princess' Private Life"?

It is amazing.

I am not looking for things like this.

It is all right to be honest between men.

There is nothing to be ashamed.

You are a man, so naturally--

I said I am not looking for something like this.

Then what is it that you want?

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW

Something about revenge and punishment.

I want everything about taking revenge.

Something about taming girls too.

Master Gyeon.

"A Way to Tame a Girl."

-"Kill Your Wife." -That is right.

"Vengeance Is Mine".

"The Taming of the Shrew." This one is a masterpiece.

-Do you need more? -Yes, please get me more.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW

Gosh.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW

VENGEANCE IS MINE

These are all ridiculous.

I will not be able to tame the Princess like this.

THE PRINCESS' PRIVATE LIFE

Why is this...

Why is this here?

The cover is really...

Your Highness.

You are cute.

Do not even think about going home tonight.

-You shouldn't do this. -Yes, I should.

I am not prepared yet.

-Yes, you are. -Your Highness.

Just stay still. I will do everything.

Just trust me.

Your Highness.

Right.

Like it says in The Art of War,

the best option is to avoid troubles like this.

Is it not Master Gyeon?

Is he

running away from me now?

I think so.

Master Gyeon!

Master Gyeon!

Master Gyeon!

Are these warts on her face?

KIM EUN-JI, 18 YEARS OLD

She is from a rich family.

That is good.

That would be perfect.

Her father is the Minister of Culture and Education?

She is in.

A blind date?

This is the list of girls who want to get married to you.

Mother, I am not interested in getting married yet.

Do not worry.

I do not have any intention of

marrying off my son this early.

What? Then why...

I did not tell you to marry someone.

Meet with these girls but do not agree on marrying them.

Do not reject them either.

Just keep these girls interested in you.

I do not get what you are saying.

It is simple.

She wants to brag about her outstanding son

to the other families.

In other words, keep them on the hook.

Son.

Can you not grant your mother's wish

and be a good son?

Gyeon U.

Mother, I cannot meet all of them.

Just make them take turns in meeting you.

Let me put them in order.

The one from a rich family would be first to meet.

She is the first in line.

Master Gyeon?

THIRD DAUGHTER OF THE MINISTER OF CULTURE AND EDUCATION

Lady Choi?

It is nice to meet you.

You look very different from the picture.

I meant a little.

Right?

I look better in person, right?

Yes.

This picture is totally wrong.

-Excuse me? -Nothing.

Are you disappointed?

She is warm, modest, and elegant.

She is graceful

and looks like a warm sunlight in the afternoon.

She is your ideal type.

She is the only daughter.

The family's inheritance will all go to her husband.

What are you waiting for?

She is perfect for you.

Look at this pretty ring.

Shall I buy you a white horse?

This is driving me crazy.

The fortune says she likes men.

She looks sly which is perfect for you.

My goodness.

I know how to read fortunes by looking at people's palms.

If you do not mind, may I?

I will read your fortunes.

My goodness.

Goodness gracious.

You are very healthy.

Your hand is so...

Think of her as your mother and depend on her.

I hear you are the Prince's teacher.

How much is your income?

She must be good at managing the houshold.

She asks how much you earn right off the bat. She is one of a kind.

Stop already.

Did you say that to me?

Oh, not you.

I heard Master Gyeon is having blind dates every day.

You wanted Da-yeon to be your in-law.

Have you given up on that?

It is nothing. They are all meeting him for nothing.

What do you mean?

He is meeting those girls for his mother's sake.

Those whom Mother wants to make her daughter-in-law are not on the list.

My brother is only meeting them to make his mother happy.

But he has the sassy girl.

Are you sure the girl is clinging to him?

Are they really not lovers?

That is nonsense!

-How dare you! -My apologies.

I am sorry.

Be careful.

If you continue to cry,

I will just make you live with me.

Let us stop and eat something.

Stop the horse.

Will you eat or kiss me?

Stop! Please stop the horse.

Will you eat or sleep with me?

He came for drinks.

Hey, Gyeon U. How was your blind date?

How was it?

Let us stop here.

-Gosh, you stink. -Stop.

So the image of her keeps showing in front of you.

Right, and she is like the enemy whom I do not wish to see again.

That must be because of your eagerness to take revenge.

Right, that must be it.

The eagerness to take revenge. Feeling suppressed.

By the way,

how is your relationship with Lady Hyemyeong?

There is no relationship between us.

He has been talking about her ever since the festival.

You fool.

If you are not interested,

introduce her to me.

She is not someone you can handle.

That is her charm.

She's not confined to the rules. She goes ahead of time.

She is my ideal type.

Charm? Ideal type?

Write one more novel if you have time to long for her.

Dating her will eventually make me do well on my work.

Come on.

You have no pride.

Goodness.

It is love that we are talking about.

Stop treating my love so lowly like that.

-Do not hit me. -That is enough.

Give up on that woman.

Do you like her by any chance?

The girl that you keep thinking about is...

That is ridiculous!

It is more suspicious to see you react this way.

Right.

Stop being so stubborn and introduce her to me.

To me.

Who is that?

-Get him! -Yes, sir!

Stop!

Stop!

Over there!

-Get them! -Stop!

-Get them! -Stop!

Get them.

Stop there.

-Arrest them all. -Yes, sir.

From here is the Gentry Village.

You cannot enter without the King's orders.

Gentry Village

Do you understand?

Did anyone follow you?

-No, my lady. -No, my lady.

You must not let others know of this.

Take a look.

Eagerness to take revenge.

Feeling suppressed.

Right, that must be it.

Hey.

We must be meant to be.

I see you wherever I go.

Is it not that you followed me?

We got caught, my lord.

Maybe we made it too obvious.

Is it a new jirashi?

We just found this on the ground.

Well,

it says the Princess came to the lantern festival.

Why are you so surprised?

It is surprising news.

It is too early to be surprised.

It also says she enjoyed the night with a man.

That man is...

Gang Jun-yeong, the lieutenant of Office of Investigation.

You remember Do-chi, right?

The leader of a gang.

It turns out the three of them are in a love triangle.

-What? -Gang Jun-yeong

finds out that the Princess is dating Do-chi.

Thus, he arrested Do-chi and locked him up in prison.

That is not true.

How do you know if it's true or not?

I heard from a friend

of a friend of my friend.

I heard from a friend of a friend of my friend too.

Did you not say she has a lover already?

I heard that is why she keeps sneaking out of the palace.

That royal commissioner?

Now that it has been three years, it is time that she got over him.

The Princess' lover?

I only read it in the jirashi.

The guy's name is Min Yu-hwan.

He went missing three years ago

while investigating something in secret.

He went missing?

Yes, it is because

he got caught taking bribes.

He must still be on the wanted list.

Let me see that.

LIEUTENANT GANG, THE PRINCESS AND DO-CHI ARE IN A LOVE TRIANGLE

The Princess, Lieutenant Gang, and the leader of a gang?

This is exciting.

The King's trustworthy Lieutenant Gang is on the flyer too,

so he will not let it pass this time.

Is this true?

Tell me this instant if you are hiding anything from me.

My apologies, Your Majesty.

What should we do?

It is all over the palace now.

If His Majesty finds this out...

-Do not make a fuss. -I am not just saying this.

I am worried.

His Majesty is here.

Why did you go outside?

For what reason?

Did you not say she has a lover already?

I heard that is why she keeps sneaking out of the palace.

You deceived the King and broke the rules.

I cannot let you loose anymore.

She's grounded in her residence?

Being locked up is not enough. She needs to be stopped for good.

Who is behind all this?

I will return at night.

Why are you so reckless?

Can't you pretend that you didn't see me?

It is all because of her lover.

Please keep this safe with you. I shall return no matter what.

The longing heart for something.

That is the scariest of all.

Who are you?
