EPISODE 17

You, slip out through the side door and find Small Hyung.

Find him

and stop him from coming this way, no matter what!

Over that way!

There, there!

That rascal, that rascal, that one!

Catch him!

Go on...

Catch him!

Catch him! Catch him!

Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!

Catch him!

You've got to catch him!

What if you get caught?

What are you going to do, then?

Why did you come here?

I'm here because I have something to tell you.

Go back.

Whether I was alive!

Didn't you want to know?

Aigoo, Hyung,

Where are you going?

Big Brother said I was to stop them from finding you, no matter what.

The person who took the arrow in Small Hyung's place...!

Aigoo, you are alive!

Even though he didn't say anything, Hyung worried about you a lot.

Wait at Bing Ock Kwan just for a little bit.

I have to follow Small Hyung, so...

You can go that way.

Please help him so that nothing bad happens to him.

Of course, yes.

This Agasshi is Small Hyung's guest.

Show her in.

What is the uproar going on outside?

Unnie!

I think Seok Joo Oppa has been dragged away.

What?

The two followed him, so probably nothing bad will happen.

Just wait.

Who is she?

Your hubby's guest.

What?

How many times do I have to tell you for you to understand?!

This is all

that Gong Chil Goo rascal framing me!

At Mapo Pier,

there is no one who does not know Jo Seok Joo.

A Hansung Bureau officer doesn't even know that?

Woonjong Street equals Chung Poong Kwan's Han Myong Hoe.

Mapo Pier equals Bing Ock Kwan's Jo Seok Joo.

Are you saying you never boarded

the prisoners' ship bound for Kanghwa Island?

Uh huh, cham!

I did board it.

Boarding that ship,

I almost became a drowned ghost midsea but narrowly got away with my life.

What's wrong with that?

That ship had on board traitors!

Don't make me laugh!

I saw more hoodlums and profiteers who got dragged on board without knowing why.

Are you saying...

they were dragged there without any cause?

You should ask Gong Chil Goo about it.

Go find out!

This is big trouble...

I heard those who are dragged in here come out with every bone in their bodies broken...

What should we do?

When night falls,

we will go in.

Are you crazy?

If you're going to do it, do it alone, Small Hyung!

I won't.

Subtitles brought to you by The Princess' Man team @ viki.com.

Among the traitors who were supposed to board the ship,

there were a large number of people

who were already dead due to the torture.

A petty officer at the Royal Investigation Bureau was bribed by Gong Chil Goo

and filled the vacant spots with others.

On that ship was Second State Councilor Kim Jong Seo's son.

Do you remember him?

Aigoo, how do I know who is Kim Jong Seo's son?

Ah, ah, ah, in any event,

except me, everyone is dead.

Is that the definite truth?

What reason would I have to lie to you?

What should I do with him?

Jo Seok Joo,

this time, I will send you off not to Kanghwa Island but to someplace much farther away!

One two, one two,

with straight shoulders, confidently!

Don't hasten your own death.

Don't use me to

settle your old scores.

Big Bro!

I was going to go in even if by myself to rescue you, Hyung.

This place is dangerous for you.

First, let's leave this place.

Unnie, if you go, what can you do?

Until when, am I just going to wait around?

How do I know where he'll be dragged away to this time?!

Stay here, I will go.

Aigoo, Hyung, you had a tough time.

Oppa!

Where did you go this time?

Your So Eng worried about you.

Inside, Unnie is very glad to see you.

Hurry and go after her.

Wow, he is such a macho man.

Oppa! Oppa, where are you going?

Who on earth is that b****?

A princess.

One that is soon to become a princess.

One whom you cannot even dare to look up.

What?

Don't you want to see your family?

Didn't I tell you that your sister-in-law and Ah Kang are alive?

Why don't you come and see with your own eyes?

Let's go.

It's a bit far from here.

Subtitles brought to you by The Princess' Man Team at viki.com.

It's a relief.

You were ambushed but nothing bad happened. Wasn't that extremely fortunate?

I am sorry (for worrying you).

Couldn't you see that villain's face?

In the dark, he was even wearing a mask.

So I could not see it.

If it wasn't for Officer Shin,

you would have gotten into big trouble.

It's clear now that this Dae Ho is after meritorious vassals.

Soon, ambassadors from Ming Dynasty will arrive

to acknowledge Your Majesty's accession to the throne.

If you only get the Ming emperor's validation,

even the scholars of the Hall of Worthies who've been making noises

about Your Majesty's accession will have no choice but to shut their mouths.

I am sorry to say this, but

if Ming Dynasty picks a fight by saying that you snatched your young nephew's throne

wouldn't that be a big problem?

One in ten thousand,

if something like this happens again during the ambassadors' stay here,

We don't know how they are going to react.

Officer Shin, take special care to maintain law and order within the capital city.

I will keep that in mind.

Your Majesty,

all this is happening because the King Former is alive and

that causes some to pipe-dream.

After Your Majesty secures Ming Dynasty's validation,

and after the ambassadors have left for their county,

you must depose the King Former

and what's more, obliterate his existence.

Your Majesty,

the Queen has entered the palace.

Welcome, My Lady.

I don't see Se Ryung.

I think she needs some time to sort through her emotions.

How can she wander around when she is to become a princess?

It is my fault that I could not

control my own daughter.

Quickly find Se Ryung and bring her to the palace.

Yes!

Just a moment,

stop just for a moment.

It's that place over there.

Why don't you see for yourself?

Truly... are they alive?

Since Officer Shin got that house for them,

you should remove them to some other place.

Uncle?

Uncle!

Are you really my uncle?

Mother!

It's Uncle!

Uncle's come.

Have you been alive?

Agasshi took Ah Kang, who almost died after being imprisoned, to see a doctor.

She also got us out of that beast-like man's (Prince Onnyung) house.

Please come with me.

It's a rough place, but better than here.

No matter how rough, we should come with you.

Aren't we family?

Aren't they pretty?

Unnie gave them to me.

She said you should forget all the painful things

and go far far away and live happily with us.

I haven't even thanked her for reuniting us.

Thank you.

However, I hope

we do not run into each other again.

Were you two in love?

I wonder which family she belongs to...

No.

We do not have any occasion to see each other again.

What do you mean she disappeared?

Are you saying Se Ryung left home to avoid her coronation ceremony?

She really did not come here?

Why would she come here?

To boast that she's becoming a princess

or to ask me to congratulate her?

If by any chance she comes...

We understand, so beat it now.

Avoiding her coronation ceremony...

isn't this so like her?

Where are you going?

Are you here to say the last farewell?

Even when Officer Shin came looking for you,

I didn't consider you shameless enough to come here.

But

you're brazen faced beyond imagination.

Knowing that this is a place I must not come to,

still I had nowhere to go, no one to talk to.

What do you mean you have nowhere to go?

The place you're going to call home now...

isn't that the palace?

Why?

Do you resent my words?

How much you must have hated me, who's been so childish and clueless.

I, not knowing anything about my father, running amuck...

What an eyesore I must have been.

I guess you're growing up only now.

Even so,

is becoming a princess something you can avoid at will?

I shall not avoid it any longer.

I will enter the palace and ceaselessly ask myself the question you asked me.

Which question do you mean?

Whether I can go against my father...

Once you asked me that question.

I will closely observe everything Father does

and then find my answer.

If one who is the king no longer behaves like a human being,

I will stop him with all the power I have.

Se Ryung!

To me, the princess of this nation is

just one person, Her Royal Highness Kyung Hye.

That's the words that I've come to say.

What extra mouths to feed are these?

What's this?

Oppa, were you a married man?

Then, what about the girl who came to see you earlier?

Oh, you're truly talented.

They are my sister-in-law and niece.

I will let them stay in my room for a while.

I refuse to take in guests.

If you are going to work for your food, stay. If not, leave.

What are you good at?

I will work more...

There's no need, brother-in-law.

I don't want to be a burden either.

I know how to cook and I will also do cleaning.

Okay.

Just give them a room.

We have lots of rooms upstairs.

Should we do it that way?

Let me see you.

I am So Eng.

If you bear with this just for a little while,

I will let you move to a more comfortable place.

It's okay.

Compared to those who passed away,

this is a most luxurious, spacious room.

I think you came back alive...

because of your Father and Brother's help.

I'll leave now.

Yes.

By any chance, is the woman who came to see you here Agasshi?

Is she really not your lover?

She's one whom I have no more occasion to see

nor should I see her.

Uncle!

Uncle!

Subtitles brought to you by The Princess' Man team @ viki.com.

His Majesty and Her Highness the Queen are waiting for you.

Princess.

Let's go.

So Officer Shin found you.

I guess you two are meant to be together.

Your Majesty.

We have to welcome the royal son-in-law into our family as soon as possible.

Of course we should.

I have something to say to both of you.

All my life, I will not wed anyone.

What?

What did you just say?

As for acting against my wish, becoming a princess was enough.

From now on, I will live following my heart.

Your pertness is out of control.

A royal wedding committee will be set up soon. Keep that in mind and leave my presence now.

In the future, you will not be able to control me as you wish.

There is no reason to be shaken up.

You're already my royal son-in-law.

How come you don't shun me today?

Officer Shin, don't you already know

my heart that will never change?

To me, your heart is more important

than the position of a royal consort.

I, who am alive, mean less to you

than him, who is dead?

In my heart,

he is vividly alive.

What?

I am very sorry to you, Officer Shin.

However, loving wholeheartedly that one person who is in my heart...

I cannot help but wound another's heart.

Please understand that.

Miss.

No Princess!

Where have you been? Your Maid...

No, I mean, your Lady-in-Waiting worried so much.

The lady-in-waiting dress rather becomes you.

Please hurry in.

The court ladies and ladies-in-waiting belonging to your quarters are waiting to greet you.

This place used to be Princess Kyung Hye's quarters.

It feels weird, doesn't it?

Look who's talking... Why do you collectso many silk shoes? You can't wear them all.

Because I want to have them.

The same for me.

Because I want to ride it.

Your Highness.

You have to change.

Subtitles brought to you by The Princess'Man team@ viki.com.

How come you come here (alcohol cellar) day in and day out?

You are

Kim Jong Seo's son?

A Hansung Bureau officer was...

whether you died, or lived,

desperately seeking you.

Why didn't you report me?

Aigoo!

How bitingly you speak...

Ugh...

Oh, I heard that woman came today?

I don't want to hear anything about her.

She's a woman who put her life on the line for you.

It didn't look like she was faking it.

Are you... wavering?

You're wavering, right?

Her father or whatever, you just want to run to her and clasp her, right?

A really awful guy...

Subtitles brought to you by Princess'Man team at Viki.com.

Do you guys like it?

Love it, Hyung!

You don't have to be moved by such a trifle.

The government positions you can get

in the future are numerous.

I don't know whether I'm dreaming or awake!

- Thank you Hyung nim!! - Thank you Hyung nim!!

It's fine.

You guys go out.

I must be going as well.

This late at night, where are you going?

Every night,

masked Kim Jong Seo

is hunting the meritorious vassals.

For the time being, I'm going to sleep somewhere else.

Only now we have been paid properly

the price of Kim Jong Seo's head.

Do you remember when that old man died?

Spewing about his grave and what not...

He was doomed to be slayed and go on to the other world anyway...

He was putting on airs til the very end.

Who are you?

You!

Are you coming back now?

Moving in the dark...

You seem to be very used to it.

How did you know about here...?

I heard from Jong.

This is not an easy place to live.

What brings you here?

The smell of blood coming from you... has grown stronger.

Who else's life have you taken?

Please go back.

No matter how many people you kill

do you think your sword

can reach Sooyang?

Why don't you rather help a "big event"?

What on earth are you planning?

There are people who share my thoughts and plans.

We're going to pull down Sooyang and reinstate His Majesty the King Former.

Won't you stand on our side?

Scholars like you, Teacher,

how can they be a match for Sooyang?

He is

cunning to the bones

and utterly evil.

That's why we need a lot of help.

If we put together our strengths,

we can defeat any foes.

Sharing thoughts and plans...

do you believe that's possible?

I was betrayed even by a friend.

Whoever it is,

I can trust no one.

You don't trust even me or Jong?

Don't underestimate Sooyang.

Even though my sad fate

overshadows me,

I cannot throw away

myself that had loved you.

The ties I formed with you, while alive.

After death,

Can I still hold on to them?

The Ming ambassadors

will pass by here.

Take special care patroling this place.

Yes.

What is it?

Some dead bodies are hanging.

What?!

Aigoo!

Dae Ho: Kim Jong Seo's nickname.

How many times has it been already?

Dae Ho?

Then, is someone who's dead really doing this?

Who knows? Maybe a ghost with a grudge

has returned to pay back.

Aigoo.

Are you in the room?

Ah Kang wanted to eat it,

so I made some.

Last night

I saw you alone in the hall.

By any chance, are you.

Dae Ho, Brother-in-Law?

You don't have to be concerned.

The wish to even beat them to death...

why wouldn't I know it?

But

whether the way you chose is not reckless...

I wish you would

give it a careful consideration.

Had it been Father,

what would he have done?

So that you do not shame the name of Dae Ho,

act

judiciously.

Subtitles brought to you by Princess'Man team at Viki.com.

You will place yourself in the princess's lecture room?

How can you imagine such a thing?

How improper!

Actually, Professor Kim Seung Yoo is

supposedly my future husband.

I want to see him with my own eyes.

What's wrong?

Are old memories coming back?

Her Royal Highness,

I am Professor Kim Seung Yoo.

I'm Lee Gae who's going to be in charge of your lessons starting today, Your Highness.

Please take good care of me.

We will begin with the "Book of Filial Piety."

In the past...

I learned the "Book of Filial Piety."

One professor came in with a lipstick mark on his neck.

Among my students,

there was such a punk as well.

That person.

What kind of person was he?

With a respectable face,

he went around acting so much like a playboy...

But

he was naturally cheerful and

he valued friendship like his own life.

He was a person without any dark side to him.

That person.

You must have cherished him a lot.

Today...

I miss him more than ever.

What on earth was Hansung Bureau doing anyway?

I apologize.

Agitation among the subjects is not slight.

There is even a rumor going around that Kim Jong Seo has not died but is alive.

I wonder whose turn it is next...

I'm going to eradicate them!

I'm going to uproot every single one of them who is opposed against me.

I'm going to exact the full price of their defiance.

Your Majesty.

It's time that the Ming ambassadors would be arriving.

You must go outside and get ready to greet them.

Did you say "Dae Ho"?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Who on earth is that?

The one who's using the nickname of the late Second State Councilor?

The true identity of Dae Ho is none other than the Second State Councilor's son, Kim Seung Yoo.

Kim Seung Yoo?

Are you saying that person is still alive?

He came back alive after many life-threatening situations,

and is trying very hard to face off Sooyang

who was his father's mortal enemy.

There are still vassals who will lend their strengths to you.

Please cheer up.

I don't have the face to see Father who is in his grave.

Your Majesty,

Grand Prince Sooyang's lucky streak too...

will come to an end.

At tomorrow's banquet for the Ming ambassadors,

your vassals with the same resolve, including me,

will eliminate.

Grand Prince Sooyang.

This humble servant will firmly keep your side.

Do not be worried at all.

Brother-in-law!

Your Highness King Former,

His Majesty is here to see you.

Subtitles brought to you by The Princess' Man Team at viki.com.

He may enter.

Were you receiving your greetings?

Yes, Sovereign.

Soon, the Ming ambassadors will be arriving.

I've heard.

Your Highness King Former

should attend the banquet for the ambassadors as well.

I'm fully award of the code of conduct required of a member of the royal family.

I am worried just in case Your Highness King Former

may be enticed by the disloyal bunch and say or do something

before the Ming ambassadors that might cause their misunderstanding.

That kind of thing will not happen.

This Uncle hopes that the princess and royal consort can stay by your side for a long time.

No matter how many people you kill

do you think your sword can reach Sooyang?

Why don't you rather help a "big event"?

Had it been Father, what would he have done?

So that you do not shame the name of Dae Ho, act judiciously.

Did you let His Majesty know?

Yes.

Now all the preparations have been made.

If Sooyang gets Ming Dynasty's validation, he will not fail to harm His Majesty.

The banquet for the ambassadors will be our last chance.

We have to let the Ming ambassadors know

in no uncertain terms that Sooyang usurped the throne.

Since I will take off Sooyang's head with this hand of mine,

this is a great honor.

No matter what, we must return the throne to His Majesty.

There is one who came running to help us.

Come in.

You came.

Who is that man?

The son of the deceased Kim Jong Seo,

Kim Seung Yoo

I am here to add my meager strength.

Have you been really alive?!

After all kinds of hardships, he still came back.

Then, are you the Dae Ho who's been causing such an uproar nowadays?

How come you changed your mind and came this way?

I intended to kill those who had done that to my father

without sparing any one of them.

However, I realized that was not a true revenge for my father,

but merely a way to vent my anger.

Now, I will devote myself to dethroning Sooyang

and reinstating His Majesty to the throne.

Even if I'm given a small task, I will do my best.

Just let me help you with whatever mission you deem fit.

Born into a grand, noble family

and raised not lacking anything, all of a sudden you underwent such hardships.

How hard it must have been for you...!

You're really admirable. Your late father

will also be very proud of you.

Please forgive us who let His Excellency Kim Jong Seo

go like that.

They are not ones to stand by and do nothing.

Lately, those formerly from the Hall of Worthies, Seong Sam Moon, Park Pang Nyun and Lee Gae

have been frequently gathering and even Royal Consort Jeong Jong was spotted joining them.

Did you say the king's son-in-law?

If they are plotting something,

they will not miss this chance while the Ming ambassadors are here.

However,

they are just nerdy bookworms.

They must have a hole or two.

Find that hole.

Yes.

What happened to the person who calls himself Dae Ho?

Has he been, by any chance, caught?

I heard that they are still in the dark.

Who on earth might be able to stop him...

Pardon?

Maybe the royal son-in-law can persuade him!

Pardon?

I must see Mother.

How come you're here to see me?

I want to visit Princess Kyung Hye.

What?

How long has it been since you entered the palace for you to be singing about leaving it already?

How she is faring...

I must go see her with some medicine to keep her healthy.

Do so.

At least you paying and receiving visits

and appearing friendly with Princess Kyung Hye...

Wouldn't that look good in the world's eyes?

Your efforts will help His Majesty's rule.

I hate hassles.

I will only take Yeo Ri with me.

So,

how is the current princess?

Is she incorrigible like they say?

I heard that she declared she would not get married but live by herself all her life.

These women called princesses are, like one,

so impertinent...!

Why don't you watch what you say!

I guess you're getting another visit from a student.

Do you see Jong often?

I guess you're here to pry something out of your Teacher.

If you see Jong frequently,

you may incur suspicions.

Please be prudent.

A teacher and his student seeing each other... That's a suspicious activity?

Now, even acting according to the basic human nature is not allowed?

But Jong has in the past plotted with Grand Prince Keum Seong.

In order not to irritate His Majesty

and also to avoid needless suspicions,

it will be better for you not to see Jong for the time being.

I will also advise Jong against this.

His Majesty...

His Majesty, you say.

The words sound so unfamiliar to me.

I will take my leave now.

If only you were on our side,

how great that would be.

Is it much farther?

We're almost there.

Do you want to see Princess Kyung Hye so much?

I want to walk a little.

Even though you're frustrated, endure it a bit longer.

I am not going mad.

The person I thought was dead has come back alive.

How astounding!

My apologies.

If you keep looking at him like that, I feel jealous.

Wasn't he, after all, number one candidate for your consort position?

What if it had worked out and...

Don't tease the royal princess.

You're working so hard for His Majesty. I don't know how to repay the kindness...

What do you mean kindness, Your Royal Highness?!

Heaven is on the side of the righteous.

Do not worry too much, Your Highness.

Come in, everyone.

At the banquet,

to be sure, the only one who can be armed

is Your Excellency Yoo who will be an woonkum* standing behind Sooyang.

This is the golden chance

given by heaven to slay Sooyang.

Your Excellency Yoo, please carry out the critical mission of eliminating Sooyang.

And the task of guarding His Majesty's safety

will be undertaken by me

and the royal consort.

The soldiers under General Kim Moon Ki of the Three Forces have decided to join us.

We need someone to command them.

Seung Yoo.

Why don't you take it on?

You're very knowledgeable in the arts of war and swordmanship.

I will do my best.

After Sooyang dies,

you must storm the place with the soldiers

and execute Han Myung Hoe, Kwon Lam and Shin Sook Joo one by one.

Circling the walls of Changdeok Palace,

I have already decided on the place where infiltrating the palace will be easiest.

I will hide with the soldiers

and wait (for the right moment).

I think we've done all that human power can manage.

However, whether heaven's will

will favor us...

If we miss this chance, we will never get another one.

We must get it done!

Sooyang, your evil days

are numbered.

Today, Myun came to see me.

Myun did?

I think they kind of know

our movements.

From now on, be extremely careful.

Why don't we hold meetings at my quarters?

At a bordello full of gisaengs?

Fabulous!

Nice.

While filling our eyes with gisaengs, we fill our hearts with resolves...

This is what's called killing two birds with one stone.

What did you say?

A joke. It was a joke.

Seung Yoo.

Say something for me.

I'm really happy to see that smile of yours again.

Only now, you look like your old self.

How do you feel with the "big event" coming up?

I've been keeping myself alive to kill Sooyang.

In order to make this event successful,

I will give even my own life.

Your Highness.

Officer Shin has come.

Seung Yoo, if you survive

but I don't, my princess...

you must protect her like you're me.

At the moment the opening music for the banquet starts...

we will set our "big event" in motion.

Your father will die by my hands.

If I am to save you, my father dies.

If I am to save my father, you die, Teacher.

What on earth

am I to do?

Please just leave with me.

Let's go to a deserted place.

Let's live together.
