One of us two will see the blood.

I, Kim Jong Seo, am not afraid of death.

Sooyang, I won't forgive you even from my grave!

Father!!

Isn't Grand Prince Sooyang asking for the marriage of his daughter to Seung Yoo?

I am eagerly awaiting your response to our marriage proposal, Your Excellency.

Her Royal Highness! Don't you by any chance want to go outside the palace?

Outside the palace?

What about my lesson?

I will go in your place.

I have to see him with my own eyes.

Professor Kim Seung Yoo is supposedly my future husband.

A man had a woman's norigae in his possession...

What do you think that means?

I shall find out.

I shall choose the Second State Councilor's son Kim Seung Yoo as my son-in-law.

Have you chosen Your Majesty over me?

He held not my but Hyung-nim's hands.

You just have to cut him out.

The only one who can protect the Crown Prince

is Kim Jong Seo.

EPISODE 3

Teacher! I feel like the whole world is rushing to me!

Embrace the wind!

Do you feel free?

Breathtakingly free!

Can't we gallop a little more?

It's getting late. Why don't you go back now?

Uh huh, won't you drop that.

Since you've galloped to your heart's content,

you're through with horseriding as of today.

Please teach me more.

What?

Riding after learning the proper way, it's neither scary nor dangerous.

So, please teach me more.

Meet me in front of that gisaeng house on the day of the full moon.

You must come.

Kim Seung Yoo...

won't be able to return alive.

Subtitles brought to you by THE PRINCESS' MAN team @ viki.com.

Princess!

Princess!

Are you alright?

Teacher.

Teacher!

Are you okay? Shhh!

Don't ever come out!

Egad! You want to die with him on the same day at the same hour?

Princess!

Won't you step aside?!

I said I have something to say to my father.

Because Your Majesty is taking a nap...

A nap? Since when Father has enjoyed afternoon naps?

Has he told you not to let me in?

That is not it, but...

Princess, you may enter.

Why are you seeking me so desperately?

It's because of my lesson.

Lesson?

You mean the sessions with Kim Seung Yoo?

Please cease them.

What is the reason?

You dislike Kim Seung Yoo who is to become your husband so much?

I will accept the marriage, but please give me your permission to stop.

How can you...

go against your father's wish

to such an extent...

I understand.

Leave my presence now.

I said leave!

Father!

Royal Doctor! Hurry and come out!

How come you were hiding in there?

What are you hiding from me?

Sooyang can't know...

He must not see me like this...

Your father

is afraid.

When I die,

what is going to happen to the Crown Prince and you...

I am truly afraid.

Father!

Because I won't be able to hold it out much longer,

I am sorry...

Your Majesty, please save your word and energy.

Truly...

Truly... I'm sorry.

Was it because of Uncle Sooyang?

I'm asking you whether he hid his illness out of fear of Uncle Sooyang!

I am sorry.

How much longer will he be able to live?

How dare can I say it with my own mouth...

Your Highness, only Second State Councilor Kim Jong Seo

can protect you and the Crown Prince.

Please welcome the prospect of

getting married to Professor Kim Seung Yoo.

How is your wound?

How about the dead body (of a bandit)?

Have you searched it thoroughly?

There was nothing special.

That place is haunted by hoodlums.

What would you have done had I not been pursuing them?

Hoodlums...

For sure, they targeted me.

Is there something you're uneasy about?

She is really something.

She tried to protect a man with her own life.

Who on earth is she?

Why don't you answer?

Is the relationship of the sort that you can't even tell me about it?

She is my student.

Student?

Are you saying she's the princess?

Are you okay, teacher?

Who told you to come forward in such a dangerous situation?

How can you not look after your own well-being?

I did that out of urgency of the situation. Please do not be angry any longer.

If I save my life at the cost of yours,

do you think I will feel at ease?

When are you going to stop being so reckless?

A litter is ready.

We will escort you to the palace, Her Royal Highness.

Put your heart at ease.

He is my friend.

How can you be so impatient?

The palace is just around the corner. Please behave yourself.

I've been curious for a while now...

How do you manage slipping in and out of the palace gates?

Who is the lady?

The eldest daughter of Grand Prince Sooyang.

Where are you headed?

I'm here at Her Royal Highness Princess's bidding.

She uses royal clan members' names as passwords.

Isn't she really something?

It's the first time ever in my life...

A princess who slips in and out of the palace at her will and

who is not afraid of bandits...

I wish I had entered my information for the selection of the royal consort.

Uh huh! Stop your interest right there.

She's an exalted lady who will become your best friend's wife soon.

What do you mean?

The royal consort has already been decided.

Are you saying...

that is you?

Are you jealous?

I'm a bit surprised.

There is something suspicious.

Please investigate the bandits thoroughly.

Okay.

Thank you.

Her Royal Highness is not at her quarters.

Are you coming back from somewhere?

What brings you here?

I have so much to tell you and I thought I had to leave without being able to see you.

Such a fresh flower! Please be careful with the scissors, Your Highness!

You ran into him and rode with him?

Yes.

Galloping with the wind in my bosom, it was incomparably cool and refreshing.

Since you let your body be supported by a man and rode together with him...

you must have grown rather close.

What do you mean close?

No way.

I just learned how to ride from him.

Are you saying it's not love?

Love?

What does your heart feel?

I don't think it's love...

No, it's not like that.

That's a relief.

There won't be any awkwardness between you and me.

What do you mean?

Your Highness?

Don't ever see him again!

What?

The marriage proposal your father made to the Second State Councilor

has already been rejected.

Kim Seung Yoo...

will become my royal consort!

What do you mean a lass?

Are you saying Kim Seung Yoo was with a girl?

Yes!

He had some lass on horseback.

How did she look?

She seemed a daughter of a noble family...

They looked very close.

In order to protect him, the lass

even tried to give up her own life.

If you give us one more chance...

we'll finish him off without anybody's knowledge.

You tried hard.

Just give them some alcohol.

Yes.

Aigoo, where are you going?

In order to give you a good time, I'll have to get the beds ready with silk bedding.

Okay, okay...

Since I tied up all loose ends, there won't be any unsavory aftermath.

The royal-consort-to-be has another girl?

I had someone tail Kim Seung Yoo.

So the girl's identity will be discovered soon enough.

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

At this late hour,

what is your business?

I have something to ask you.

Go ahead.

The talk of my marriage is really over?

By that, I guess you mean the Second State Councilor's household.

Did you hear from your mother?

Please answer me.

His son has already submitted his information for the selection of the royal consort.

Are you anxious that you might lose a good marriage prospect?

Don't worry. I will find you an even better family.

Se Ryung...

I feel that you're too good for whomever it may be.

Ah Kang!

Mother!

Ah Kang, shhh!

Brother-in-law!

So much blood...

You were attacked by bandits at Inwang Dale?

Yes.

Wasn't there anything suspicious?

Even though they were dressed like bandits,

I don't think they were after money.

Are you saying they were after your life?

Do you know the reason

why Your Majesty has chosen you as the royal son-in-law?

The royal son-in-law is not only

the princess's husband, but also a highly important position

that is one of the nearest relations to the Crown Prince.

Your Majesty is hoping with all his heart

that our family will protect the young Crown Prince.

It's a critical position for which you have to put your life on the line.

Guard yourself well from those

who do not wish you to become the royal son-in-law.

Who on earth are they?

Grand Prince Sooyang.

Subtitles brought to you by the Princess' Man Team@viki.com.

Some time ago, you came to see me

and said that one of us two will see the blood.

If the well-being of this country and the royal family

needs Kim Jong Seo's blood,

I will gladly give it to them.

However, if you target

not me, but my children,

or the Crown Prince or the Princess,

I, Kim Jong Seo, will eliminate that irreverent bunch before I breathe my last.

Is the royal father-in-law-to-be

threatening a grand prince?

Let's just say it is a warning.

As long as I am breathing,

Grand Prince, you wan't be able to accede to the throne.

Take them with you.

Hyungnim,

if someone is bent on killing me,

how can these few help me?

Uh huh!

Kim Jong Seo and his sons are scared.

We can't appear that easy.

I will take special precautions.

Don't follow me.

You still haven't found out

the identity of the woman who was with Kim Seung Yoo?

What's the big fuss about a man having a woman?

It's not time to be paying attention to something so insignificant.

What do you plan to do?

Seeing the Second State Councilor acting the way he did...

what if we opened up a can of worms?

Had he evidence, would a person like the Second State Councilor have simply ended this with a mere warning?

The way it is, we can't stop Kim Seung Yoo's selection as the royal son-in-law.

If his marriage to the princess takes place...

Everyone will side with Your Majesty and the Second State Councilor

and look for a chance to stab you in the back.

Your Excellency...!

Your Excellency.

Come in.

Researcher Park Soo Cheon of the Office of Astrology says

he cannot take even one step outside of the office.

A researcher at the Office of Astrology?

As I have expected...

You may go.

Why did you summon Researcher Park?

It's time for you two get involved.

Uh huh, these rascals!

Don't you know who I am?!

We're following a strict order not to let anyone in.

What do you mean a strict order?

Whose order?

Vice Chair of the Royal Wedding Committee,

Lord Shin Sook Joo's order.

Uh huh!

Didn't you hear that the Master of Ceremony Grand Prince Sooyang

wanted to see Researcher Park of the Office of Astrology?!

I am sorry.

Uh huh, even then, these rascals are...!

At least nominally, I am the Chair of the Royal Wedding Committee.

And it's so hard to see your face.

An officer at Astrology Office who deals with personal information...

cannot meet people or

open his mouth at will.

Have you looked into the prospective marital harmony between Princess and Kim Seung Yoo?

When the time comes, you will find out.

Is that so?

I guess I asked you a dumb question.

I am sorry.

There is something

I have always wanted to ask you.

Can't the destiny that one is born with...

really be defied?

Do you want to defy it?

I have held you up too long when you're so busy.

You may go now.

What do you mean stop the princess's lessons?

We haven't been able to finish the Book of Filial Piety.

It's Your Majesty's order.

Is she... by any chance ill?

You already worry about your future wife so much?

What an imprudent remark!

Professor Kim Seung Yoo has been chosen as the royal son-in-law.

Isn't it old news among the insiders?

Why hide it?

Through the curtain, I guess

you taught love rather than the Book of Filial Piety.

Okay, I'm off to the classroom now.

I will call the roll.

The only daughter of Prince Iksung.

Here.

The second daughter of Prince Kangryung.

Here.

The eldest daughter of Grand Prince Sooyang.

The eldest daughter of Grand Prince Sooyang!

Yes, I am here.

The second daughter of Grand Prince Sooyang.

Here.

The second daughter of Prince Imyong.

How come you are here?

Here.

Doesn't Princess want to play with you any longer?

The eldest daughter of Prince...

I am here.

A talk of marriage can go nowhere.

What if it is a great marriage prospect

when it wasn't meant to be?

Here.

The third daughter of Prince...

Why are you hovering around here again?

Let's go in, okay?

Why are you so listless?

Is it because you cannot ride a horse?

I wonder if that's the reason...

Even after getting it so bad...

I really cannot understand you.

It's the day of the full moon.

Wouldn't you rather go swinging?

Is today the day of the full moon?

Yes, you don't even keep track of time?

Meet me in front of the gisaeng house on the day of the full moon.

You must come.

I said let's go in.

Her Royal Highness, you look like a fairy who has come down from the sky.

Not only Professor Kim Seung Yoo

but which man wouldn't fall for you?

What I mean is...

the lessons have stopped according to your wish.

And you only have to wait for the wedding day.

So I was saying out of joy...

Kim Seung Yoo

doesn't know me yet.

If he sees you, Your Highness,

he'll completely forget Miss Se Ryung.

How can she even compare?

Stop worrying.

By the way, Your Highness,

Miss Se Ryung will attend the Royal Academy again.

What if they run into each other?

She wouldn't break her promise to me, would she?

The repast is ready.

Why aren't you coming in?

Are you waiting for someone?

Who is it?

It's a woman, right?

It's a person who won't come,

and who ought not to come.

Does it make sense to wait for someone who won't come?

So they finally meet up.

You almost lost your life to the bandits.

Even after experiencing such a hair-raising experience, how could you think to come out again?

You promised you would teach me how to ride a horse again.

When have I made such a promise?

You unilaterally told me to come to the gisaeng house on the day of the full moon.

Were you not waiting for me?

Wait for you?

I just wanted to make sure

the Princess was safely at the Palace.

And I was afraid you might wait and wait for me...

I will leave now.

For my sake,

you came out.

Is that what you mean?

Although we can't ride a horse, let us stroll around the village.

This is a market that is held every 15 days.

It's a sight you can't behold in the palace. Look around to your heart's content.

Yes.

The Plum-Colored-Dress lady won again~!

She rides it so perfectly.

She's blowing everyone away!

Nobody can bring her down? Has everyone here tried?

Here, there's one here!

She seems like a noble lady.

Ladies from noble families ride them better~!

You look agile and perfect for this!

Please do not do this.

Then why don't you push her~!

Uh huh! I said: please do not do this!

I will try it.

It'll be terrible if you get hurt.

How different is it from riding a horse?

I will be careful, and careful again.

If you are scared, don't hold back and scream.

I will quickly stop the swing.

Yes, teacher.

Looks like she can't beat the Plum-Colored-Dress lady after all~.

What a bizzare incident.

Are you truly the Princess?

Yes?

Horses and swings that you can't tryinside the palace...

How can you ride them so well?

How do you know if there aren't any swings in the Palace?

The palace is also a place where people live.

How could a lady not have any interest in accessories?

It's a hassle putting these things on.

You have to keep looking at yourself to become pretty.

Pardon my discourtesy.

Why are you like this?!- Shh!

Your father even sends a servant (to tail you)?

Once in a while he checks

whether I frequent gisaeng houses.

You should have practiced some restraint before this.

I was shocked thinking it might be a thug.

We're already here.

Please go in now.

A lady-in-waiting will be waiting for me. You can leave now.

My mother...

died a lonely death.

And that has remained a lifelong regret

to my father who was stationed in Hamgyong Province at the time.

Should something happen to you while I am not around you,

I too shall suffer a lifelong regret.

After we tie the knots, I will take you horseriding all you want.

So please promise me that you will never again

come outside the palace, this place full of dangers.

I promise you.

I'm satisfied. It's time you returned to the palace.

Teacher!

I truly... truly had a good time.

Miss!

Why are you coming back this late?

Did you really go swinging?

And won that flower?

Are you Researcher Park Soo Chan of the Office of Astrology?

Who are you?

You dumbass...

You can't even tell your own fortune.

How can you predict someone else's marital harmony?

Who has sent you?

An astrologist who supposedly reads the will of the heaven

didn't know that I would pay you a visit today?

No matter how you roughen me up,

you will not get the marital harmony forecast out of me!

Bury him.

You will give your life for someone else's marital harmony?

Life and death

don't lie in the hands of a rascal like you.

You are clueless.

The life and death that lie in my hands

are not less than three, three!

Hey.

You bastards! Aren't you afraid of the heaven?

Bury them.

STOP! STOP! STOP!

What is it that you want?

This is the real marital harmony forecast between the princess and Kim Seung Yoo.

Study it very hard.

On the day of the final selection,

you'll have to recite it personally before Your Majesty and all the government officials.

We hold his family hostage.

What can he do?

Do you think Shin Sook Joo will, without ado,

accept the marital harmony forecast

proffered by Researcher Park Soo Chan?

Not likely.

In many ways, Shin Sook Joo is the biggest stumbling block.

We'll have to turn a stumbling block into a stepping stone.

What do you mean Jeong Jong?

Are you talking about the son of the former head of Comptroller's Office Jeong Choon Kyung?

That's right.

Are you suggesting that we select a man whose family is in reduced circumstances

and who is fatherless for the final round?

The Jeongs of Haejoo is an illustrious clan.

Moreover, the late Lord Jeong Choon Kyung was

a loyal vassal dearly loved by the predecessor king.

Who among us are not loyal?

Didn't you say it was just a formality yourself?

In a matter of getting a presentable assortment together,

why do you two, as if you have some hidden agenda,

insist on choosing Cho Kyung Taek?

Uh huh! Watch what you say!

Let's follow Bum Ong's (Shin Sook Joo's pen name) wish.

The two other than Professor Kim Seung Yoo

are props anyway.

Let's finalize the three candidates to go on to the final round

as Second State Councilor's third son Kim Seung Yoo,

Mayor of Pyongyang Hwang Min Dal's eldest son Hwang Ki Jung, and

former Comptroller Jeong Choon Kyung's only son Jeong Jong.

Here they are.

Good-bye.

Thank you for helping me out so many times.

When I become the princess's husband, I will make sure to pay back.

Singing that tune again?

Why?

You think I won't make the cut?

Just because my family is in reduced circumstances,

if you look down on us Jeong clan, you'll pay dearly for it.

I got you.

Just don't get disappointed later.

You...

must be having a love affair.

I'm right!

Lord Chief Scholar!

Grand Prince Sooyang has asked

all the members of the Royal Wedding Committee

to his house tonight.

What do you mean to his house?

After discussing the procedure for the princess's wedding,

he is going to hold a banquet to congratulate us on our hard work.

Why not discuss it here at the office?

Because you're so knowledgeable about the rites, he really wants to hear your learned opinion.

He made a special request.

Your Highness, there is a big problem!

What is it?

Professor Kim Seung Yoo is asking to see you.

What?

He said he would wait for you in the lecture room.

We can't ask Miss Se Ryung to come running now.

What do we do?

Professor!

Where is Her Royal Highness?

She can't come because she has a slight fever.

Is she very ill?

She said not to worry since it's only a slight case of a cold.

Wait just a minute.

He gave this with the rings?

Yes.

Princess,

I too had a good time yesterday.

Some day, what passed behind the bushes... even that will become a memory.

These are the tokens of the promise we made.

Please accept them with a glad heart.

You're doing me an honor by visiting.

Rather, I should consider it an honor

that you're so welcoming.

This is...

my wife.

I hope you didn't have a hard time finding this place.

It's my less than perfect son.

I am Soong.

You should greet him too.

Please enter.

Wasn't this an occassion for all the members of the Royal Wedding Committee?

I guess everyone is avoiding me.

Don't make me lose face when I have made such efforts to ask you here.

Pleast take a seat.

I... have a favor to ask you, Bum Ong (Shin Sook Joo's pen name).

Will you do me that favor?

Please speak.

Would you get stoned drunk with me today?

Are you expecting another guest?

You will find out soon enough.

I am here at His Excellency Grand Prince's bidding.

Agasshi.

My Lady is looking for you.

Leave.

Agasshi.

Please leave.

Are you Your Highness, the Princess?

How come you are here at Grand Prince Sooyang's house?

And how come that maid is calling Your Highness Agasshi?

Are you really not the princess?

Bum Ong, you're too talented to remain as a simple scholar at the Hall of Worthies.

You're overpraising me.

Sometimes, I picture a very manly image of you governing the world.

Please watch what you say.

Politics for a scholar, that's improper.

Even though the scholars at the Hall of Worthies are prohibited from political participation,

There must be super ambitious ones among them.

If those were the turns and twists of this situation,

You are not the only one to be blamed.

But hurry and tell the truth to Seung Yoo.

I just couldn't bring myself to...

Seung Yoo thinks of you not only as the princess but also as his betrothed.

Of course, you must be afraid.

But that is nothing compared to the wound a certain man will suffer.

Why did you call me.

Aside like this, Grand Prince?

Master, you have a guest.

Please show him in.

Father.

You...

What's your reason for being here?

I invited him.

What do you think, Bum Ong,

about our becoming in-laws?

Yeo Rl.

Yes.

I need to get ready to go to the palace.

How did you know?

A message that the princess wants to see you.

Has been here since dawn.

I broke the promise of never seeing him again.

I already know it.

I will readily receive the punishment for deceiving you.

What use is punishing you?

For the first time, I thought that it would be good to be married... if to him.

What are you saying?

If Your Highness would, with your big heart, allow me,

I would like to personally apologize to the teacher for my lies.

Apology?

This is the last time.

Please let me see him just once more.

When it comes to coveting what belongs to others,

you're no different from your father.

Why are you saying such things?

Wait in the next room for a while.

Now you do not even

do the courtesy of greeting your teacher?

You are even distancing yourself from a man?

Do you hate my sight that much?

Why don't you answer me?

Is something the matter?

Your Highness?

Who are you?

The one you are gazing upon now,

is the princess.
