EPISODE 14

Lady Haesu.

I told you not to call me by that.

I'm so used to it. Court Lady Hae doesn't sound right.

Are these letters, as well?

Yes, they are. You should learn how to read them too.

At this age? No way. I've memorized all names for tea, so I'm good.

Congratulations.

Today's your birthday! It's for your knees.

So pretty.

Thank you. I'll wear it whenever my knees hurt.

But the biggest present is you being here at Damiwon.

That's because the Prince brought me for you.

You do know that the Prince still cares about you a lot, right?

The Emperor would like to increase and reorganize the army.

So we'll include noblemen's private military with loyal army.

We can share the support.

As you all know,

the Emperor can't participate in morning meeting because of his health.

He has ordered us to not postpone urgent matters.

If you're Baeka, let's say I'm Jongjaki.

You're never sincere. Live your life upright with that skill.

It's not...

...a dream, right?

It's not like you'd disappear...

when I touch you, right?

I've been...

thinking about you.

I hoped that the wound I made is...

not yet healed.

So...

that you won't forget about me.

I couldn't go find you because I was worried that you'd be hurt to see me.

I tried not to come...

because I was afraid that seeing you would hurt me.

But I couldn't help it.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Why so surprised?

Are you helping with the Emperor's bath?

Yes, sir.

Right, keep up the good work.

Here. It's my present to you to take care of him well.

No, I can't.

I can't accept it.

Come on, you deserve it.

These days I get too sluggish after the bath.

After I wake up, it's hard to know what day it is.

I can't think well.

The doctor said you'd have lack of sleep.

I'll prepare tea and pillow that'll help you.

I'll leave Chaeryeong here. Please take your time.

Are you adding more herbs? The scent will get too strong.

Yes, Your Majesty. The old bag is no good any more.

Congratulations for your birthday. I just knew this is for you.

It's from a Persian merchant, and he said it's from Bulgaria.

It's roses. Very valuable oil made from roses.

It will be great for a perfume. I like it.

He said he couldn't choose one, so he just came back with empty-handed.

It's a mere court lady's birthday. Having Prince present is the present.

Yes, right. I'm just grateful to be born since I'm a mere court lady.

Was that you howling?

Yes.

It sounds so alike. I was worried that you wouldn't notice.

It sounded like a creature that's not a dog nor a wolf but had its neck choked.

Whatever, you came out here.

Let's go.

What?

I'll show you somewhere for your birthday.

Let's go.

I said that's a fixed star.

And that's an anchor star.

So you mean the Polar star.

And Cassiopeia.

Did you forget how many times I go in and out of the observatory tower?

You've learned all wrong in the beginning.

That Cassiopeia is created when Queen Cassiopeia from Ethiopia said

that her daughter is more beautiful than Ocean's fairy,

the god of Ocean punished her.

Look.

Doesn't it look like an upside-down chair?

To tame her vanity, she's being punished by hanging upside-down half a day.

Before...

when I was a lot younger I went to greet my mother.

She was telling a story to Jung lying on her lap.

I wished that he wasn't born.

I wished that her lap was for me.

Mother saw me with that face, and she hid Jung all of sudden.

She must have known that I'd strike on my own brother.

That's everyone's thinking with younger siblings.

Same for me too.

I wished my younger sibling was gone. Why would they have this to bother me?

Are you trying to make me give up on you or focus more on you?

What?

Whenever I bring problems to you, you make it so light.

That's why I must be with you.

If you're not coming to me...

don't let me have hope for you.

For me...

it's torturing.

I thought you said you'd ask first.

- Can I? - Nope.

You said you wouldn't do it.

Fine.

The Emperor will send you as a second wife of the military general.

That won't never happen. He trusts me for sure.

Stop showing off.

Your day off is coming soon, right? Let's go to the Wish Tower together.

Wish Tower?

There's something I want to say.

But I need to say that there.

Will you come?

Uk.

It's strange these days.

I can't sleep at all. When I sleep, I have nightmares.

The summer is coming soon, but why is it so cold?

Your Majesty.

I think...

the time has come.

Why don't you...

abdicate the throne for me?

What?

I know and Jimong spread the lie that you're the son of Dragon.

And you also lied that you had scales on your body when it was just rashes.

Uk, you...

Once you abdicate, I will take care of...

you for the rest of your life.

Being the Emperor is such a heavy burden, so for everyone...

please let it go now.

Brother.

Princess, please come. It's not scary.

Go! You need to go so our nation will survive.

Father, I don't want to get married.

You stupid girl, it's for your sake. Go now!

Go! Hurry!

Your Majesty, she's too young to go to the foreign country.

If she's married there, they'll send the army when I'm in danger.

Didn't you hear something? It was horses.

Hurry up! Go! You can't survive here!

Father! Your Majesty.

Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

- Please! - Go!

Hurry up!

Your Majesty! Father, please!

Just go, now!

Stop it!

It's the Kitan.

She'll only be a hostage there. Please see things straight!

What do you know?

I didn't sleep for one good night being afraid of assassins.

Every night there are guys out there!

They ask for my authority.

Everyone will die in this way. Then who will protect us?

Your Majesty.

Will you do it?

You get married to the princess.

And protect us?

Welcome.

Oh no, I didn't know you'd come.

So I took my time, did you wait long?

You said you have something important to tell me.

Important thing?

Right, I said that. What was that?

What?

I can't remember.

What was it?

Why would you ask me that?

You said you have to say that here since it's important.

What? Did you expect something surprising?

Then I feel too sorry.

No, I didn't.

Sure.

Let's do something else since I feel bad for you.

Can't you go faster? You should feel the breeze on a boat.

Will you do it then?

I wanted to ask before. Is this your boat?

I brought this when I came to the palace.

I don't need to sneak out if I use this boat.

This is my favorite thing in the whole palace.

I've never seen you on it much for it to be your favorite.

I loved it too much.

If I do what I love too often, I was afraid that I didn't want to leave here.

So I didn't ride it on purpose.

What?

I've just imagined what it'd like to face away from what you like.

And I'm glad that you don't have to feel that way any more.

I'm sorry.

What?

The important thing.

For forgetting what I wanted to tell you.

It will come back some day.

Take your time.

You've made a big decision.

If I get married to the princess, both noble families will think

I'll be the next Emperor. They'll tame the other nobles, too.

Then the attack on the Emperor will reduce.

You've calculated that far. Now you're becoming a political expert.

But there's still a question.

Would I be his guard dog again with shackles?

Is this my destiny?

I'm sick of living with having to face away from what I love.

But it's always not working out.

Tell me.

How can I run away from those shackles?

Most of people would bite the master and take the master's house.

Are you suggesting a coup?

No way.

Thanks for protecting the Emperor.

He won't keep you that long.

Why do you just stare at me? You're here to put some make-up on.

It's important to make your skin brighter first.

This is roses. Don't tell me you used my present here!

This is my profession.

I've used a lot so his skin will glow.

Why would you use that valuable thing to this face that fights in a sword fight?

Brother!

Stay tight.

You can't move for two hours.

Lady, the Princess will love it.

Wow, you really look brighter, just like Haesu said.

Really? And no moles?

Right, your face is glowing and shiny, it looks great.

Your face is a lot brighter too. It's so tight now.

Look at you! Glowing and tight?

What kind of language is that?

You're misunderstanding it, brother.

You were suspicious about me and Haesu before,

and now you're flirting with my brother?

Haesu isn't like you.

Stop it please.

I didn't say it before but you're so mean.

Look at that temper.

You were just jealous of us. Why did you have to bring Haesu up?

You really don't know your own heart.

You love your wife, but always mistreat her.

Stop it.

The worst thing you can do is get married, you just live alone, Jung.

I'll tell Brother So to stop when he can.

So is getting married?

You didn't know?

He'll be the husband of the princess. The wedding is soon.

You've heard.

You can hate me and resent me.

It's all my fault.

What I can hate and resent?

You didn't promise me anything.

When I said I'd bring you out of the palace

and I wanted to see you free,

all of them were promises.

I'm sorry that I can't keep them.

You don't even try to make excuses?

It's already done and you're already hurt.

No matter what the reason is your trust for me has broken.

I don't want to bring it up again.

I understand.

I won't ask then.

Congratulations...

on your wedding.

This letter is from Wang Gyu.

I've already beseeched you twice before

to kill the Fourth Prince So.

It's because his brother Yo has already done wrong to you.

Stop reading it.

The meaning of the letter will be...

telling me to give you the throne anyway.

So I don't have to hear it anymore.

I think you're misunderstanding me a big time.

I was being loyal and said that to lighten up your burden.

Are you upset for it?

No.

As you suggested, I will share my burden with my brother.

Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here for you.

Let him in.

I greet you, Your Majesty.

Sure.

So you get married to my elder daughter.

What?

I told him he can have her as a second wife

since she's too young to make a family.

I have received the date from Jimong.

As you suggested, Uk...

I will abdicate for So.

He's the brother of the Emperor and the husband of the princess.

What can be more perfect?

Don't you think so?

Of course.

Congratulations on your wedding.

I bet there are girls crying, who'll miss this nice husband figure.

Don't you think so, Your Majesty?

It's me Baeka.

I'm coming in.

Hello.

How do you feel?

It's same old, same old.

Brother had me give you this letter for him.

He said it'd be his excuse.

I didn't know he had such great handwriting.

There are lots of things I don't know about him, I thought I did.

I was stupid.

He was sincere about leaving here with you. I know that.

When I sit around the water, there's a cloud.

When I sit around the water, there's a cloud.

When I sit around the water, there's a cloud.

When I sit around the water, there's a cloud.

Is Mother inside?

She said not to interrupt during her prayer time.

I'm fine, I'm worried about her.

I'm sorry, but...

Is he really a general to be that timid?

What happened?

I was going to explain slowly. Don't be surprised.

He's alive. Heaven is on my side.

Then why did you pretend to be dead until now?

I'm the criminal. Why would I come forward?

I barely survived.

Without the care of Uncle Wang...

I'd be dead.

I'll ask the Emperor to redeem your position.

I've done a lot for him and he's a warm-hearted person.

Redeem my position?

I tried to take his seat. If he finds out, he'll kill me on the spot.

And you didn't hear about So getting married to the princess?

The Emperor is about to give the throne to So.

I oppose that So be the Emperor.

But I still can't agree with you if you're against the Emperor.

Conspiracy is good enough for one time.

How stupid is that?

When you succeed your conspiracy, it's no conspiracy anymore.

I will redeem my throne.

I can lose once, but not twice.

I'm also the object of the Emperor. Even if it's you, I will stop you.

The Emperor is a lunatic!

The rumor is that he killed the assassins in his room

but actually he killed court ladies by mistake.

Can you let that kind of person...

rule Goryeo?

Can you?

The Emperor has banned anyone to be out at night.

Bring everyone in, no matter what position and age they are.

I think he's inside of Damiwon.

He has nowhere to go but this room.

Should we break the door?

What's going on?

Damiwon is not for everyone. Please get out of the garden.

The one who sneaked in just came here. We have to look.

I was reading, but I didn't see anything. Please look some other place.

Where are you going?

I'm the head lady here. I serve the Emperor.

I cannot bring any guy inside the room.

Move away. I will check my own.

No.

It's the room of an unmarried woman.

If I'll be disgraced, I'd rather die.

If you need to come in, please get the Emperor's order.

No one is an exception.

Are you sure there's no one inside?

Yes.

I'm sure.

Look for other places.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Su!

They might still be here.

Let me see.

You got a little scar.

Were you going to stab for real?

If they'd come in, what choices do I have?

Why would you do that? You can just let me get arrested.

Why would you say that?

You must avoid the Fourth Prince.

You'd do the same for others, too right?

What?

You'd help other brothers the same way, not just me, right?

Of course.

If our brothers split up and start fighting...

which side will you be on?

I don't take sides.

Maybe I can be the referee.

It's greedy to miss the days when we gathered at Eighth Prince's house.

We've changed and you'll have to choose.

It's late now. Please take a nap and go when it's quiet.

Even if you're in it...

I can't decide this time.

Because I hope no one gets hurt.

I'll make sure that would happen.

Jung was in your room, right?

No.

I couldn't sleep a bit, thinking of that.

Tell me the truth. It was Jung.

Or make some excuses at least.

You come up with yours first.

Not just a letter. Tell me so I can understand.

Why are you getting married all of sudden?

Is it true that other people...

think, are you here for the laundry as well.

If I let her be...

she was to go to the Kitans as a hostage.

I didn't have any other option.

If you've told me that before...

I wouldn't think you'd be that mean.

I have to ask you to endure again.

I know you hate multiple wives. That's why I tried to avoid it...

but I was out of options.

What can I say to that?

Yesterday...

it was Jung.

He forgot about the banned rule and was coming back from the martial art.

It was nothing.

Don't lie again.

It's the same for you and he that we'd like to see the inside of the

What about things I don't want to talk about?

What should I do then?

Then just say you don't want to say it.

I don't want you to lie there.

I will.

I won't like that either.

Then...

are you OK now?

Do you regret that you're married?

No, it's to protect the Emperor.

The princess is out to live at a temple. That was said.

Before...

you said you have someone special.

Is that Jung?

Not at all.

On the day we were on the boat,

the important thing you forgot...

you didn't forget, did you?

What was that?

I...

love you.

For next time, don't you ever forget.

Brother.

What are you doing here?

We have a guest who'd like to see you.

A guest?

Long time no see, Uk.

I heard that you've been getting mercury inside the Damiwon.

It's scary to see what a smart person can do.

I'm a man of loyalty. I couldn't just let him go away.

You seem to have...

a lot to tell me.

Of course. It will take all night. I have a lot.

Attack!

Find the Emperor, now!

Yes, sir!

Rebellion?

Did you just say rebellion?

I've brought you here for your safety.

When things are quiet, you can go back to the palace.

How can you help the Third? He'll strike us first when he's in power.

It's better than having So in power.

Yo offered and we still had some use for each other.

He won't attack us.

How can we trust that?

I've never raised my son as a rebel. I'm disappointed.

This is the only way to protect you and our family.

If you'd just want safe life, you shouldn't have so much responsibility.

Is this for Haesu?

I'm asking you if Haesu has anything with this.

Yes.

You're right.

It's for her.

Stop! Get out of the way!

You'll all die!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Are you all right?

Who are you? Let me go! Stop! Your Majesty!

Please spare my life.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

It's too dangerous for him. Please stop, I beg you.

Your Majesty!

I think you're destined to be floundering all your life like that.

If the Emperor knew about it, he wouldn't make you the Emperor.

Please hang in there, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

I think it's done.

I can lose once...

but not twice.

You!

Stop!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Please open your eyes.

Why...

I didn't kill him.

He was already dying from poison.

What?

Haesu has been putting mercury in bathing water.

The Emperor didn't want anyone but you for this.

But the bathing water has this mercury. What happened?

I don't know anything about it.

I'll give you two options.

You can die with this girl to show your loyalty to the dead brother.

Or you can accept me and leave with the girl.

Of course,

I will leave her sin for poisoning the Emperor.

So whenever I need,

I can get her for her crime.

Let her go, now!

A wolf only follows after one female wolf until the death.

And you're also an animal like an wolf.

Won!

Choose. Is it Haesu or...

the dead Emperor?

I greet you, Your Majesty.

To make the Wang's war as genuine one, get Eun.

You have your guard dog, Your Majesty.

Haesu is dying to know who put mercury in the water.

Did you really kill the brother?

You're great.

It'd be great if we were like this from the beginning.

Haesu had hidden Eun's couple inside Damiwon.

Please run away. I'll cover for you, hurry!

Please let her go! No!
