Episode 20

Are you really going to
depose the Erstwhile King?

It is nothing that should concern you.

I was hoping you would one day
concede to your daughter, for once.

I hoped I could find the strength to
set you back on the righteous path.

Old sayings suggested "Everything you have been
blessed with is a gift from your parents."

But I can no longer consider
myself as your daughter.

I will not, not any longer.

I have now cut my ties with you, so don't
think of me as your daughter anymore.

How... dare you...

I shall leave the palace.

Are you telling me you cut your
ties with your father?

Yes.

I apologize for what happened
to the Erstwhile King.

Why would I blame you for that?

Are you going to join the
Royal Son-in-law when he's exiled?

Nobody can follow His Majesty
to his exile, after all.

I was worried about you, but you look
much calmer than I thought.

I learned that even tears can become
a luxury you cannot afford.

But we managed to survive one way or
another, so this will not be the end of us.

What are you going to do now?

I will stay at Seungbeop Temple.

Will you be all right?

I at last can answer you on whether
I can really contend with my father.

Should his tyranny continue to go on, I will
try anything in my power to stop it.

Her Highness left the palace yesterday.

What are you talking about?

I was told she cut her hair and
confronted His Majesty.

And where on earth did she go?

To a certain Seungbeop Temple.

You will go visit His Majesty, won't you?

I will not be able to accompany
you to your exile.

If we're alive, we'll meet again one day.

Being there all by yourself
will not be easy at first.

I always wanted some quiet and
solitude, so all the better.

- Sire.
- Yes, Sister.

We're going to meet again without fail.

So until you hear good news from
your sister and brother-in-law,

don't lose your resolve.

I won't.

Wouldn't Father protect us?

Nunim.

What's the matter?
Did anything happen?

Pretty Nunim, don't cry...

I was wondering why you
weren't showing up.

You should be grateful I'm
accompanying you.

I will gather enough troops
to face off against Suyang.

Meet with Prince Geumseong.

I've heard the garrison still has
many troops following him.

I will.

I shall soon come visit you,
so take good care of yourself.

Seryeong left the palace.

She cut her hair right under
her father's watch,

and headed to Seungbeop Temple.

Why did you come all the way here?

What did you leave the palace for?

Cutting ties with your father
must have been devastating.

How could cutting ties with my father
compare with the sorrow of losing yours...

Return to the palace.

I cannot.

I will not.

Why keep telling me to stop incurring
danger while you do the opposite?

I'm grateful for the mere
fact you came here.

Your Highness... Your Highness!

What's the matter?

Prefect Shin is headed here.

Go... Now.

I cannot allow you to be captured.

I beg you. Find refuge.

What do you think you're doing?

Stop it!

Order the troops to leave.

Did you run here,
afraid I'd be with the master?

I was only here to ascertain whether
any vandals infiltrated the premises.

Go ahead and search all you want.

Aren't you even ashamed of
using me to capture him?

How much longer will you keep on
showing me such contempt?

Stop acting so childishly and
go back to the palace.

Did you not hear when I said I would
bite my tongue and kill myself?

I cut every tie I had with my father and
relinquished any royal status.

What could I possibly have to fear?

You have one day.

I'll come again in the morrow,
so prepare to return.

Come a hundred...
a thousand times, if you wish.

But I still shall not follow you.

And this will be the very last
time I bother to ask you.

Should you refuse to go back
to the palace again,

I will not be responsible
for how I will react.

Yeori...

Will he have safely reached his destination?

I should have told him
not to go... to stay.

Master, what are you doing?

This is only going to put you at risk...

I don't care, no matter the risk.

Follow me.

Your Highness...

Where on earth has he gone?

Why is it so quiet in here tonight?!

Here's whom you were so
fervently looking for.

Orabeoni!

Anyhow... Men.
They never defy expectations, do they?

The pr...

What's wrong with you, seriously?

Are you going to bring here every
passerby you meet out there?

She'll only importune you for a few days.

She seems like a yangban maiden,

but I'm sure it's nothing that
will bring us trouble?!

I'll take responsibility,
so look after her while I'm out.

He said it'll only be a few days.
What... Two?! Three days?

It's not like it's brimming with
patrons in here, after all...

But don't think you can exploit
my generosity any longer.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Aigoo...

You're sleeping with me.
Forget about staying with him!

Ehh... Think they'd be
so upfront about it?!

Eonni!

How have you been, fine?

Have a drink.

You quit drinking just like he said.

I respect you for that.

What did you bring a princess here for?

There's something going on
between you two, isn't it?

How did you manage to get
her out of the palace?

She left on her own,
and was lodging at a temple.

Why would she leave the palace?

She'd live in luxury her entire life...

Aigoo... Really.

Some stubborn fool met his match.

We'll leave here soon.

Are you going to abandon
your vengeful intents, then?

If I manage to find my father's old confidants,
I will leave the capital with my kinfolk.

- How about the princess?
- She will come with me.

I won't forget the help
you've given us.

Aigoo... I see you've made
up your mind, all right.

It might not be too hospitable
a place, but enjoy some rest.

I cannot believe I'm here
together with you.

Let's go.

What is that supposed to mean?
She's not here?!

I woke up, and she was
nowhere to be seen.

Speak the truth.

Who came here yesterday?

You were the only one who did.

If I discover you're hiding
something from me...

you will pay with your life.

I really don't know a thing.

How did it go?

We found no traces of her.

Say what? Seryeong?

So she vanished from that temple
without leaving a trace?

My apologies.

What can we do about this...

As if things between His Majesty and
Seryeong weren't serious enough already...

Now she even hides her traces?

Don't tell His Majesty, and do
everything in your power to find her.

I will.

Send troops to the Royal
Son-in-law's place of exile.

Her Highness might have gone there.

I will dispatch them immediately.

Her Highness left the palace?!

How could this happen...

I feel ashamed.

But where could she possibly have gone?!

She shall soon return on her own,
so don't let it be of concern.

There is already enough tumult about
the Erstwhile King's deposition as it is,

but if a princess leaves the palace after
being in conflict with her father,

wouldn't that negatively affect
the royal family's authority?

We had enough quandaries because of
Kim Seungyu, and now Her Highness...

It almost feels as if they
were acting in unison.

Daeho remains our most pressing concern.

Despite being in exile, Prince Geumseong,
Princess Gyeonghye and the Royal Son-in-law...

will most definitely use Kim Seungyu
to contact the Erstwhile King.

Raise surveillance and keep an
eye on their every movement.

Yes, Sire.

Uncle.

Are you going out?

I have to go somewhere with
your uncle for a while.

I'll be right back.

Don't worry about me and go.

Act like a couple, will you?

What's his secret?

Managing to convince that kind of
woman to stay in a place like this.

What do you mean,
"that kind of woman"?

As if she was all that pretty...

People are saying the princess
left the palace.

The princess?

Why would the princess do that?

Does it make any sense?
Does it?!

Why take it out on me?

I just repeated what I heard people say.

Is this man you're looking
for that powerful?

Without his help, the garrison
will not support our cause.

The garrison?!

Why would you need that?

They have cannons at their disposal.

So, what, you're going to
destroy the royal palace now?

You stubborn fool.

You sure have guts.
Sometimes to a fault.

Ahh...
Let me ask you a question.

Go ahead.

Is a certain officer named
Park Heungsoo stationed here?

Park Heungsoo?

- You know...
- Gae Heungsoo.

He's a Park?

Officer... Yeah, right...

But tell me,
why are you looking for him?

Ahh... Well... I owe him
for a favor he did to me.

Why would I know where
that drunken fool is?

I haven't seen him around in a while?!

He always seems to wander here
and there most of the time.

Heard him?

We're out of luck today.

But seems like you're looking
for the wrong man.

They call him "Gae" Heungsoo.

I'll come again in the morrow.

This... This, too.

And this.

I almost forgot this.

Undergarments.

Hey...
Have any sense of shame?

This will do.

Wash all the towels and
handkerchiefs as well.

How can you do this to her...

It's all right.
I'll be right back.

Aigoo... Think of how a princess
will feel, having to launder all that.

A princess?!

Princess, you said?
What do you mean?

That...
I didn't mean a real princess...

You know, as pretty as one.
Isn't she pretty?

You said the same the other time.

When I asked who she was,
you said she's a princess.

Eonni!
Wait for me.

Oh?!

Isn't that the court attendant
we met the other day?

Was she a new gisaeng, or something?

Aigoo... Hyungnim!

Hyungnim... I'm sorry.

You know I can't keep this trap in check.

What are you talking about?

I told them... that she's a princess.

All the better, on the contrary.

All the better?
Better for whom?

Get her out of here, now!

A princess?!
You bring a princess here?

Forgive me.

What?
She's a real princess?

What now...
I treated her so badly...

What now?

Is a princess not a woman like us?
What's the big deal?

Who on earth are you?

Who could you be, to parade
about with a princess?

If you took her here against
her wishes, then what?

The capital bureau will get involved, then.

We can't even serve her or
have her do anything.

Unless you want that princess
of yours to be kicked out,

take your kinfolk and leave this place.

Pr... Princess?!

How did you manage to leave the palace?

I wanted to cut any ties
I had with my father.

Forgive me for not telling you earlier.

I kept telling myself I should have
told you, but I couldn't find the courage.

I bet.

I'm sure it couldn't be easy to confess the fact
you're the daughter of the same vicious beast...

who caused the deaths of my
husband and my father-in-law.

I committed a sin that I will
never be able to atone for.

Don't you ever forgive me.

What would forgiving you or not matter?

It must have been so hard for you.

The devotion you two share
subjected you to so much cruelty.

I have now cut my ties with you, so don't
think of me as your daughter anymore.

Sire... There are urgent tidings
from the East Palace.

What is the matter?

I am mortified to convey
you the news,

but they deal with His Highness the
Crown Prince coughing blood.

Say what?

His Majesty is here.

What is the matter with him?

Why did he cough blood?

It is only a light ailment, I hope?

Sire.

Physician, reveal his conditions at once.

You will pardon my saying, but I surmise he
might have hidden his ailments for a long time.

There is no way...

How can that be possible?

Will you do it properly?
You can't even do better than a princess?

She doesn't look anything special
dressed in that manner.

If you're a princess, shouldn't wearing fine
garments and eating the best food suffice?

Why bother suffering so much out here?

Princess or gisaeng,
we are all just people.

Just treat me like you would anyone else.

She's right.

What should I call you?

Your Highness?

My name is fine.

And what is it?

I'm Seryeong.

It'll only be a few days,
but I hope I can count on you.

I thought you didn't trust anyone?

Are you still the same man who
would sleep with a sword in hand?

Do you really sleep with
a sword in hand?

You don't even lie down?

There was a time when I couldn't
trust anything or anyone.

Doesn't the wound you got
from that arrow hurt?

It doesn't.

I thought of sleeping
with a sword in hand.

If I had someone by my side, I probably
would have been able to sleep soundly...

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes and empty
your mind of all thoughts.

If you rid your mind of all the
sorrow and burdens haunting it,

you will find peace.

Until that happens,
I will be here by your side.

It's strange.

I thought sleep was a long lost
companion who had deserted me.

I hope it will come back to you as
bearer of the most pleasant of dreams.

Seryeong?!

Lady Seryeong has hidden her traces.

She's not even at Seungbeop Temple?

I was ordered to come and ascertain
whether she was hiding here.

This is a place of exile.

How could the princess come here?

Should she come, do us the
courtesy of contacting the bureau.

I was afraid you could be on the
receiving end of their inquiries.

How could that be possible?

I will be right back.

Will you go meet the man
who sent you that letter?

Yes.

We are on the same page, so I
must meet him no matter the risk.

But remember to be careful.

I'm Gwangju magistrate Lee Junyoung.

It is an honor to be graced
by your presence.

To what do I owe your request to meet?

I was sent by Prince Geumseong.

Prince Geumseong...

I thought His Highness was
in Gyeongsang Province?

I was ordered by Prince Geumseong to gather
magistrates opposing Prince Suyang in Jeolla Province.

We would like you to lead them.

Indeed I should.

Were you waiting for me?

How did your meeting go?

Prince Geumseong has
already begun to act.

It's a true relief to see that you can
find righteous men if you only seek.

I'm worried this will end up as
a disappointment once again.

Worried that it might be just
another unattainable dream.

If you stop dreaming, how can
you still consider yourself alive?

Seungyu will be preparing to act in the capital,
so we shall soon receive good news.

Just hearing those hoofs
sends me into a frenzy,

making me worry whether this time
it'll be an order to poison you.

And this concern is only
going to fatigue us.

But I shall endure all these quandaries with
the conviction that, should the need arise,

I will die together with you.

I hope you will join me
in thinking the same.

Yes, Dear.

- She wasn't at the temple?!
- Her Highness suddenly disappeared.

And why are you only telling me now?

I apologize.

And where would a princess go?

Perhaps she's with Kim Seungyu?

How could that be possible?

I dispatched troops and we
are looking for her all over.

Impudent little... And right as her
brother is afflicted by such ailments,

she dares hide her traces in
the company of a man?!

This all happened because that
Kim Seungyu is still alive.

Bring him and the princess
before me at once!

Yes.

She didn't go visit Princess Gyeonghye.

Deploy the entire force and tighten
inspections all over the capital.

Pay special attention to Mapo Port,
where we first found traces of the abduction.

I will.

We must capture Kim Seungyu at all cost.

Yes, Naeuri.

What do you plan to do with Seryeong?

She's the one who most resembles
you out of all our children.

I'm sure she won't be able
to go on with this,

so let her be for the time being.

As if the crown prince's
ailments weren't enough...

The crown prince shall soon
regain his strength.

And it is in times like these that you
should show a ruler's unyielding resolve.

Did you not know that you would
be facing great opposition?

*Prince Haeyang, Suyang's second son

I will have to summon Hwang*.

You miss him?

The physicians said he's recovering
as well, so let us call him in due time.

After I'm back today,
we will soon be able to leave.

I will be waiting for you.

I'll get going.

You like her that much?

Aigoo... Look at you.
So you knew how to smile?!

We'll have to take a detour.

Aigoo... Look who we have here.
Just a moment.

Ahh...
What is this?

Should help each other in these
troubling times, shouldn't we?

But, tell me. What is the reason
for this huge deployment?

The princess has disappeared.

Pr... Princess?

- You mean the one in the palace, right?
- Right.

Should you spot any suspicious fellow,
don't hesitate to alert me.

You'll be generously rewarded.

Ehh... Where did they go,
leaving me behind once again?

Ehh...
Those two...

Look at these...

What is it?

What's the matter?

Gong Chilgu Hyungnim
would like to see you.

Are you coming on your own two feet,
or you want some encouragement first?

I can just come.
Why get our hands dirty, uh?

Hyungnim, I brought him.

Aigoo!

Aigoo, come on in.

Come.

Here.

Glad you came.

What are you waiting for?
We've got guests.

- Follow us.
- I'll make it worth your while.

These girls are the finest
you'll meet around here.

Ahh...
Makes quite the impression.

No need to feel intimidated.

Here...

Drink.

Go ahead.

Aigoo...
That's more like it.

- So you're looking for Gae Heungsoo.
- Why, he's here today?

You should find him by the tavern
right around that corner.

Tavern?

And be careful not to get bitten. He turns
into a rabid dog whenever he's drunk.

Are you Park Heungsoo?

Who's asking?

Are you the same Park Heungsoo who served
under Kim Jongseo in Hamgil Province?

Who are you?

How dare you mention Daeho's name in vain?

I'm sure you won't remember me,
but I am Kim Seungyu.

And my father's name is Kim Jongseo.

Don't give me any of that nonsense.

Daeho's family is all dead.

Get out of my face!

Back when I was little,
I saw you once in Hamgil Province.

You lost the use of one leg while
shooting a cannon.

I still remember vividly how my father
tore his own garments to stop the bleeding.

You really...

You really are Young Master Seungyu?

Young Master...

Young Master!
You were still alive!

You want to use cannons?

I will need your help.

It's not something I can do by myself.

Couldn't you ask the former garrison
troops who served under my father?

All those who served General Daeho
have been demoted to petty posts.

They can barely get by as it is, trying not
to attract any unwarranted attention.

We lost many lives in trying
to contend against Suyang.

It is an exacting task, so I will
not try to force it upon you.

But please give it some consideration.

Give me some time to think about it.

I will visit again soon.

You sure can handle the bottle!

Here... Here.
Have another.

Hyungnim.

Can I call you that?

Ohh... Sure!
Of course you can.

You're my little brother now!

And forget about Bingok Mansion.
With that Jo Seokju around...

Just join my cause and let us
dominate Mapo Port!

Sounds good!
Chilgu Hyungnim.

Chi... Chilgu Hyungnim.

But, listen.

I've seen this new lady
at Bingok Mansion...

Who?

You know...
She's kind of pretty.

Last time she was wearing a
court attendant's garments.

Ahh... Her Highness
the Princess, you mean.

Don't mind her,
she'll be out of here in no time.

Her Highness the Princess?!
She's a princess?

Ahh... As pretty as
a real one, I mean.

Be clear.

A princess, or just like one?

Naeuri.

Gong Chilgu is here again.

Gong Chilgu?

Send him back.

Are you sure you want to do that?

You'll probably end up regretting it...

I come bearer of quite the
interesting tidbit, you know.

Leave.

I did hear where a certain princess is...

Aww...
So it was urgent, all right.

I'm sure I can sit now, right?

Aww...
This chair is just...

Where... Where is she?

You shouldn't scrub like that.

Oh?! But my mother said it'll end
up like gruel if you do that?!

Happy now?

Is it good?

It is.
It's really good.

This is for my uncle, right?

Ahh... Her Highness
the Princess, you mean.

Her Highness the Princess?!
She's a princess?

And who did this princess
come there for?

That, I have no idea.

But I did see that deranged
fool get in the way, last time.

Deranged fool?

You know... He's a man of few words,
knows how to handle a sword...

Wearing black from head to toe.

All preparations are complete.

Would that satisfy a princess?

She's not the kind of woman who can
be tempted by shallow luxury.

Is that so?

Run away! Now!

I told them!

I let them fool me into talking.

I told Gong Chilgu that
the princess is here!

Go!

Hide, for starters.

I've heard someone I'm
looking for is hiding here.

I have no idea who you
might be referring to.

Should we discover you've been hiding her,
you will face the consequences.

- Search the premises!
- Yes.

Quick.

We'll have to go over this wall.

With this child?

That won't do it.

I'll have to go out and bring
an end to this myself.

What, now?

But if you're captured now, think of what
will happen to Seungyu Hyungnim.

I cannot put all the people of
Bingok Mansion in danger.

I'll go now, before it's too late.

Eonni!

Tell the master.

That the situation forces me
to go back to the palace,

but I'll go back to him whatever it takes.

To not worry about me
and fulfill his plans.

All right, I'll tell him.

- Don't leave him alone.
- Eonni!

Don't go...

They were hiding criminals in here.

- Ransack this place!
- Yes!

What are you doing?
Kill me instead!

What's wrong with you?
You'll only get in trouble.

- What are you waiting for?
- Yes!

Stop.

It's you, at last?

I will leave this place on my
own just like I entered it.

They don't know who I am, so they
needn't face any more oppression.

If you promise to leave them alone,
I will come with you to the palace.

Haven't you heard me?
I said tear this place down!

What do you think you're doing?

Kim Seungyu is hiding here.

Destroy this place until he comes out!

- Yes!
- Prefect Shin!

Escort the princess out of here.

Let go.

Let go!

I said let go.

I will escort you back to the palace.

How can you treat innocent
people this way?

Stop this at once...
At once!

It will only stop once we
capture Kim Seungyu.

When it comes to oppressing innocent
people, you and my father are no different.

- Help Her Highness to her horse!
- Yes!

Father...

Yes.

Please, forgive my sister.

It's nothing you should worry about.

If you lose her as well,
think of how lonesome you will be.

But I still have you, remember?

Don't worry about a thing,
and focus on recovering.

I apologize.

Sire. Her Highness is returning
to the palace as we speak.

Are you seriously out of your mind?

Where on earth did you go?

Were you really in Kim Seungyu's company?

I've already cut all ties with my father.

Seryeong.

Please... Don't try to contend
with your father.

He will no longer tolerate it.

Your Grace. His Majesty the...

Leave us alone.

Sire...

I said leave!

Hyungnim!
Where have you been?

The princess left to save us all.

Where to?
Who apprehended her?

Some prefect from the capital bureau.

She told me to tell you this.

That she will return to you at all cost, so don't
lose your resolve and fulfill your plans.

- Where is Kim Seungyu?
- I cannot answer that.

Speak the truth at once.
Where is Kim Seungyu?

I just told you I will not answer.

Must I behead those who hid him under
your watch to get a confession?

Are you going to sacrifice more
innocent people to satisfy your whims?

How much longer will this
vile bloodshed go on?

Must your children suffer the
consequences to truly wake you up?

You...

Are you conspiring with Kim
Seungyu to murder your father?

If you wish to cut your ties
with me, fine. I shall oblige.

Prefect Shin, enter!

There no longer will be any marriage
between you and the princess.

For you no longer are one.

You shall become Prefect Shin's slave.
