Episode 23

I will not come.

I can't become a burden to you.

I'll wait until you come back for me.

Don't forget me.

Will you...

become my wife?

Will you become my husband?

We are now man and woman.

Even when far apart,
we will walk in each other's shadow.

We will be one for the
rest of our days.

- Who is there?
- It's Her Highness the Princess.

My Lady!

Your Highness.
What brings you here...

Is Sung inside?

Sure... Come on in.
Let us hasten.

Sister.

What happened to you?

You must regain your strength.

I'm all right.

How did you get here?

Did you part ways with Kim Seungyu?

Even when apart,
he's always beside me.

So you came back alone.

You two made a difficult decision.

And I'm proud of you for that.

It won't be forever.
We will one day reunite.

I'm sure.

Since you've made up your mind,
let's hasten.

We can't consider this place safe.

Naeuri, Her Highness returned
to her old residence.

Leave us alone.

Where is that traitor hiding?

He is my husband.

Don't speak of him in vain.

Your "husband?"

He's already far away from here.

No matter what you force me
to confess, it will be fruitless.

So a paltry ring like this is all you
needed to join in conjugal ties?

The only one who made a lifelong
vow with Your Highness is me.

And as for this frivolous jade ring...

Getting rid of it will not change
what I feel for him.

What happened between you two?

What did you do?

What happened between us
should not concern you.

"Us"?

I will not bother trying to
win your heart anymore.

But your body will be mine.

Stop importuning my sister.

Why did you come out?

I couldn't take it anymore.

Even if ailing,
I'm still your brother, after all.

Should Prefect Shin importune you again,
don't hesitate to tell me.

Get out of the way.

I said get out of my way!

I shall force her to tell me where
Kim Seungyu is right away,

so don't try to stop me.

You still don't get it?

Even if she had to die for it,
she would never reveal where he is.

Didn't you hear that the crown
prince went out of his quarters?

That he smiled at her.

Sire.

Forget Kim Seungyu,
and think of the crown prince.

If we could only save him, then Kim Seungyu
would be the least of my concerns.

What kind of heinous palaver is that?

Only if we rid ourselves of Kim Seungyu
will the crown prince be safe.

I must go, so don't get in the way.

Sire!
Sire!!

Sire...

Just bring the essentials, will you?

Think Hamgil Province is right
around the corner?

Orabeoni, think women can travel
as light as you men do?

Uncle, bring me with you.

It's too far for you to join us.

So when will you be back?

When you're done learning the
Thousand Character Classic, I'll be back.

Mother... Teach me a
hundred characters per day.

All right.

We'll be waiting for you.

This place will be safe.

I need to go somewhere,
so go ahead first.

All right.

Where is Her Highness?

S... She...

It's you.

Will coming here be all right?

You mean if a government slave
like me can be here?

Your Highness.

They allowed me to come here only
because I used to be a princess.

I'd like to take you with us
to Hamgil Province.

It will be better than living
here as a government slave.

I am grateful for your thoughts,
but I will not come.

I must let this child visit his father.

For if I don't, wouldn't my husband
feel even more lonesome?

Your Highness.

Fulfill your plans to the very end.

That is the only thing that can
help me and the child.

But once you depart for Hamgil Province,
what will happen to Seryeong?

I'm glad you're back.

- The crown prince?
- Go inside.

So... How serious is it?

Were you so infatuated with that Kim Seungyu
to abandon your own father and brother?

You were always so garrulous,
what do I owe this sudden silence to?

Perhaps it's the fact the man you
conspired to kill is right before you?

I told you I never conspired against you.

- Again...
- All I wanted was for you...

to return to your old self,
the father I learned to love.

The benevolent and kind father
I always knew you as.

But the man you remember and
I are one and the same.

Prince! Prince!!

Father...

Right... Speak to me.

I had a dream earlier on.

Was it a nightmare?

The Erstwhile King and Munjong the Great,
with a smile on their face,

were waving at me,
as if awaiting my arrival.

What a heinous dream...

There...

Don't you see them?

Get a hold of yourself.

There is no one there.

There... There...

Sung.

What's wrong with you?

Come on... Wake up.

Sung!

Sung...

Sung!

Sung... Sung!

My son... Sung!

Sung...

Sung...

How dare you show yourself in here?

To pray for His Highness' peaceful rest.

While you were parading about
with that Kim Seungyu,

your reckless behavior caused
your own brother's death.

Are you satisfied, now?

Secretary, come in!

Did you call, Sire?

Eliminate every trace of Seryeong
from our historical records.

What?!

Even the fact that she was
ever a princess!

Sire!

Sire...
Please, don't act like this.

Are you willing to lose your
daughter as well?

I only have one daughter.

So never...

ever appear before me again.

- A Few Months Later -

Your Highness.

Are you all right?

It's a boy.

[Boy]

Jeong Misu.

It's the name your father gave you.

Think of how he felt while giving
you a name while in prison.

So grow into a strong and handsome
boy just as your father wished.

Misu.

And Seryeong?

How is she doing?

Is it a boy or a girl?

She gave birth to a healthy boy.

That's great to hear.

What a relief...

Her Highness is really worried about you.

My concerns about the fact that she's
raising a child are even greater.

Go back to the palace.

No way.

Her Majesty told me to
stay by your side.

How is my father faring?

Because of the late crown prince,
he's still...

The prefect is back.
Come before he arrives.

Did she go anywhere?

No...
She stayed home all day.

All your men are gone.

Come out, and meet a
dignified demise.

- Lee Shiae -

We are proud of you.

Hamgil Province is now free of Suyang's
influence, thanks to your efforts.

We must move south now.

Let us do that.

At this rate, we will soon
reach the capital.

But we first must conquer Hamheung
to gain control of the region.

They're going to appoint a new
Hamheung governor soon.

Let's devise a plan to attack him.

Here they come.

Shouldn't we learn whether you made it
or not, if you want us to feed you?

I missed you so much...

Who?

Orabeoni, I made some meat soup.

Hyungnim, have a good night.

Take it, before they see us.

What is it?

Morning dew I gathered
in the early morn.

Why bother...

Think the weather here
is good for your skin?

Use that and become as
pretty as Princess Seryeong.

What, Princess Seryeong?

We will be one for the
rest of our days.

We are now man and woman.

Even when far apart, we will walk
in each other's shadow.

It's an uprising, Sire!

The governor of Hamgil
Province has been murdered.

What are you talking about?

Are you telling me that Hamgil
Province is now in rebel hands?

You will pardon my saying this, but seems
like Hamheung suffered the same fate.

Who else is conspiring against me?

A former Hamgil Province official
named Lee Shiae, and...

What is all this hesitation?
Speak at once!

And Kim Seungyu, Sire.

Kim Seungyu?!

How much longer will my ears have
to be tormented by that name?

What is it that you people can do right?

Will you continue staring at this Kim Seungyu
while he keeps conspiring against me?

Our apologies.

- Prefect Shin.
- Yes, Sire.

Didn't all this happen because
you couldn't deal with him?

- I apologize.
- I've had it with your apologies.

I shall give you one last chance.

I will appoint you as the new
governor of Hamgil Province,

so behead Kim Seungyu and
bring an end to this disgrace.

Yes.

You better not disappoint me again.

Everyone but the secretary,
take your leave.

His Majesty seems really agitated.

He must be fatigued by all this.

But why did he ask everyone
to leave except the secretary?

Take the Board of Military Affairs'
troops and follow Prefect Shin closely.

What are you trying to suggest, Sire?

I can no longer trust him.

He could very well hesitate once again,
moved by his friendship with Kim Seungyu.

No... I'm sure he will.

After all that happened, how could he?

At the crucial moment, you take
care of beheading Kim Seungyu.

And should the need arise, you may
sacrifice Prefect Shin as well.

For a hound who can no
longer hunt is useless.

Is that for Princess Gyeonghye's baby?

Your Highness.
It is time.

He's really something...
Why ask you to do that?!

I'll be right back.

Just spit on it, will you?

You're back?

Yes.

His Majesty told the secretary to follow you
with Board of Military Affairs troops.

Seems like he doesn't fully trust you.

I was guessing so myself.

Once you lose his favors,
you'll never be able to regain them.

And if you fail to behead Kim Seungyu,
you'll be the one risking his life.

So bring him Kim Seungyu's
head at all costs.

Where are you going?

To prepare your berth.

What are you trying to accomplish?

She is my slave,
so I'll do as I want.

Are you going to bring her
along to Hamgil Province?

And if you fail to behead Kim Seungyu,
you'll be the one risking his life.

So bring him Kim Seungyu's
head at all cost.

You want to come to Hamgil Province?

Why aren't you answering me?

Isn't it the perfect chance to
reunite with your beloved?

Just because I'm not by his side,
it doesn't mean we're not together.

I will bring you whatever it takes.

And I will dismember him right under
your watch, so that you'll never forget it.

You will not capture my
husband so easily.

Sure... Let's go.

Let's go together,
and find out who is right.

Where have you been?
Everything went right, I hope?

- Yeori.
- What?

He must still be alive.

He's out there, making sure their
efforts are rendered futile.

Sire...
Her Majesty seeks audience.

What are you doing here
at the East Palace?

You drink in a dead child's quarters?

Aren't empty quarters like these sad?

I've heard that Prefect Shin will be
sent to Hamgil Province as governor.

What will you do, if he says he will bring
Seryeong to such a perilous place?

She belongs to him now,
so it's up to him to decide.

I cannot let another
child of mine die.

As if losing Sung wasn't enough,
now Seryeong?!

Not to mention, isn't she with
Kim Seungyu, after all?

Just leave me alone.

Should anything happen to Seryeong,

I shall never forgive you.

I will do everything in my power to make
you pay for what happens to her.

The Erstwhile King and Munjong the Great,
with a smile on their face,

were waving at me,
as if awaiting my arrival.

There...
Don't you see them?

There... There...

Baby... I'm sorry for
subjecting you to this.

This cannot go on...
Don't cry.

I won't make you cry again, uh?
Misu.

So we forced you to give
birth in a such a place.

Forgive me.

What brings you here?

Let's go back to the palace.

If only for this child's sake,
how can you live as a government slave?

I'll ask His Majesty to restore your
title and free you from slavery.

That cannot be possible.

Right... All that resentment
wouldn't so easily vanish.

But now that you've become a mother,

you cannot go on living only
for your own sake.

If you don't like the palace,
at least let us move you to a temple.

Why act like this,
after all that happened?

Seryeong will soon leave
for Hamgil Province.

I certainly have no excuse after
all the suffering I caused,

but if only for Seryeong's sake,
I came to at least try to mend fences.

Merely as a fellow mother,
acting for her children's sake.

Did you come here for Lady Seryeong?

Is that Jong's son?

What's his name?

I cannot allow you to disgrace
him by calling his name.

Go in, then.

Look at these.
When did you make them?

I'll be happy to use them.

It is only a small token of my
sincerity, but please do so.

You look just like your mother,
when she was holding him.

She recently paid a visit.

Looks like I'll be freed from slavery.

He conceded that because of Misu.

I will soon move to Seungbeop Temple.

I'm glad.

I've heard you'll be moving
to Hamgil Province.

Yes.

Will you meet Kim Seungyu there?

Have you already forgotten him?

How could I ever?

Even when far apart,
he's always by my side.

His loving gazes,
the warmth of his touch...

Even the sound of his voice
still echoes in my mind.

The same goes for me.

Every time I visit his grave,
I feel like I'm being greeted by him.

The new governor will soon arrive.

I sent some of our men,
so they'll soon report back.

We are about to reach the
rebels' stronghold.

How many troops are we dealing with?

We cannot be sure, but most of
the inhabitants here support them.

He's Shin Sukju's son, Myeon.

Are you sure Shin Myeon was
appointed as the new governor?

Yes, that's what I've heard.

Do you know him?

He's one of Suyang's closest confidants.

Looks like it was quite the
urgent matter for him.

How many troops did they mobilize?

Not many, but they looked
like elite troops.

It would be wise to avoid them
until the rest of our troops join us.

We've lost many men all this time.

Keep an eye on their movements,
for starters.

Shin Myeon will make the
first move for sure.

We must turn this from the late
Kim Jongseo's land to His Majesty's.

Yes.

Send a few capable men on
recon around the forest.

Finding the rebels' hideout is paramount.

Yes.

If we get rid of Lee Shiae
and Kim Seungyu,

the rest will be easy to deal with.

- Hasten!
- Yes!

What were you trying
to eavesdrop on?

Were you going to convey
all this to your husband?

Go tell him.

That he and his father shall soon
meet in the netherworld.

So that Shin Myeon has come all
the way here to get you.

You two have got quite the story.

All the way to this place,
with nowhere else to run away to.

Don't you regret following me here?

Regret?!

I'm back to my hometown.

Hometown?!

It's your hometown?

Feels like something from
a long time ago.

It was back when Kim Jongseo
first set up his border defense line,

and freed my parents from slavery,
according them a dignified life.

My father always had the greatest
esteem for what your father did,

owing him a debt of gratitude
for his entire life.

So I guess his son now can
finally pay back that debt?!

Go tell him.

That he and his father shall soon
meet in the netherworld.

What's the matter,
Your Highness?

Can you really avoid the blade of
someone hell bent on killing you?

He said he would come back to you,
and you know he keeps his promises.

You feel like that even though you
haven't eaten a thing all day?

It'll get better.

This is nothing.

This won't do it. I'll have to go out
and find you some medicine.

Are you telling me they sent
them back dead?

My apologies.

It's right as you expected.

Seems like their stronghold
is in the forest.

If they all hid there, our lack of
familiarity with the area would be fatal.

In that case, can't you just
lure them outside?

You've arrived.

If you lure Kim Seungyu out of the
forest, wouldn't that be the end of it?

Do you have any idea in mind?

Don't you have the best possible bait?

What are you...

If there's anything that can lure
a man out, that's a woman.

That's right... Lady Seryeong!

If he thinks she might be in peril,
how do you think he'd react?

Because once we catch him, this fight's
outcome will only be a foregone conclusion.

Send a letter to their hideout
in the morrow.

Tell them that you have Lady Seryeong,
so Kim Seungyu can come and get her.

Disarmed, and without troops
by his side, that is.

Must we really do it this way?

I'm sure you know why
His Majesty sent me here.

Are you going to lose Kim Seungyu
and once again enrage him?

A letter?!

Are you telling me they'll use
me as bait to lure him here?

Yes. They said they'll send a letter
to their hideout in the forest.

One suggesting that only if he comes
unarmed and alone he can save you.

This can't be...
No way.

Hide yourself. If they can't
find you, nothing will happen.

It's not going to be that simple.

Even without me, they'd be more
than capable of sending that letter.

Would they go that far...

I'll have to go there firsthand.
Go and alert them.

What?

We don't even know where in
the forest they are...

Where is the horse?

I asked you a question!

- Go after her!
- Yes.

Her Highness disappeared?

She took a horse and left.

I tried to stop her,
but she was going so fast...

Maybe she heard us talk?

I did see her varlet nearby, earlier on.

If that's the case, then she
went looking for Kim Seungyu.

She sure is brave and daring!

Where did your keeper go?

Did she go to Kim Seungyu?

I don't know, either.

When I came in,
she'd disappeared already.

Speak the truth.

Weren't you outside his quarters?

I was just looking for something
to treat Her Highness with.

Take a look here.

It's the truth.

When I came back,
the room was already empty.

I know that you're lying, but I'll
deal with you once we catch her.

- Jabeon.
- Yes, Naeuri.

Deploy our troops and
ransack the entire forest.

Wait.

I will go myself.

Who are you?

What brings you here?

Where are you from?

Are you rebel troops?

There is something I must tell you.

Allow me to meet Kim Seungyu.

I remember where I saw her.

Who is she?

She's one of the new governor's slaves.

I'm sure I saw her yesterday
while on recon.

Men don't work anymore,
so now he sends women as spies?

After seeing their reconnaissance troops get
killed, they won't make any more heedless moves.

We can't afford to let our guard down.

I told you that Han Myeonghwe was
coming with troops of his own, didn't I?

We must attack them before
they find our hideout.

All right.

Let's devise more concrete
plans in the morrow.

We captured a woman who entered
the forest on horseback,

and she seems like a spy.

A spy?

There is no doubt that she's one of
the new governor's slaves,

but she keeps asking to
meet Kim Seungyu.

What? A slave?

How shall we proceed?
Shall we kill her and send her back?

Do that.

The night breeze is nice.

My men captured one of the
new governor's female slaves.

Female?

We suspect she might be a spy,
so I told them to kill her and send her back.

She was quite daring for a woman.

She came here riding a horse, and asked
for you, saying she had something to tell you.

So one of Shin Myeon's female
slaves came here riding a horse?

That's right.

- What is he...
- It's nothing.

Let's go in.

Please, listen to me!

Allow me to meet him just once.

If you give him this ring,
he will know who I am.

Or at least convey him
something for me.

Tell him not to let the letter the
governor sent deceive him.

All right.

It's you.

Please, I'm begging you.

Allow me to meet that man.

Be quiet and accept
your demise.

And consider yourself lucky we are
allowing you to die this way.

Naeuri!
What is the matter?

Let's go.

Who are you?

Thank you for saving my life.

I have a request to make.

Please bring me to Kim Seungyu.

There is something I must tell him.

His life is at risk,
so please allow me to meet him.

Are you...
