Are you...

going to get married?

Well...

- Maybe if anyone asks for my hand. - Will you say yes?

Do not say yes to such a marriage proposal.

Do not do that.

Young Lady San.

(Episode 13)

How much...

do you know?

I know just about...

- enough. - So what is it that you know?

During the accident seven years ago,

the maid who hurt her face and the lady changed places.

After that, the lady has been hiding her identity...

and living as Master Lee's student. However,

the Chancellor's second son found out the truth, and threatened her.

He told her that he will keep it...

a secret if she gets married to him.

So...

are you going to get married to him?

A member of the royal family has asked me to marry him.

I should be thankful.

Marriage is about making and keeping a promise for the rest of your life.

Are you doing this because you are afraid?

Many people get married without knowing who their husband is.

Compared to that...

The person who treated you badly in the interrogation hall...

and made you bleed was Wang Jeon, was it not?

I do not remember well.

Did it really happen?

You cannot forget something like that.

Look at me, Young Lady San.

I will find a way.

If Han Chun finds out about this,

he would get angry, but we will find a way.

- I... - Yes?

I have a request.

Tell me. I will do anything for you.

For the last seven years,

the only thing I learned properly was drinking,

but I did get taught by Master Lee.

So I know that much.

I should not let others get hurt for my convenience.

That is what makes me a human.

And because I do not let...

such things happen, I am human.

You would not be able to endure this.

- I know. - You would not last a day...

with someone like him...

with a mindset like that.

So just...

let me learn to dance today.

So that...

I would have a memory to cherish for tomorrow.

Please help me do that.

- The alcohol is so bitter. - I know.

Welcome.

Have a drink.

Do you come here too?

Can we speak in private?

Come and sit down. Have a drink first.

Come on, now.

Do let me pour you a drink.

Get out.

Not before you take a drink from me.

A man should never scare a woman.

I will not repeat myself.

I think I know...

what you rushed here to say.

Did you offer to marry the Finance Minister's daughter?

Oh, which lady are you talking about?

The one with the veiled face...

or the one with the fake identity?

Take it back.

You are not surprised. You knew already.

I told you already that she means a lot to me.

- So... - Let us be clear.

Is it you or the Crown Prince?

Whom does she mean a lot to?

I heard this is what the Crown Prince told his father.

"She is my woman."

Did you hear that?

- I did. - You heard that,

and you dare try to claim her by means of blackmail?

I dared to?

Because of you,

I have nothing to drink!

- Jeon. - Do you consider me a brother?

You follow the mongrel Crown Prince,

and gave up your family and nation!

Did you just call the Crown Prince a mongrel?

Why? Will you report me?

Will you report your own brother?

You are the one who is endangering...

our family and nation!

You fool.

Seven years ago.

The bandits who killed the Finance Minister's wife.

You knew them, did you not?

What are you talking about?

Dozens lost their lives there that day.

The Finance Minister's men...

and the bandits, they all died.

Did you happen to kill them all...

- as you were passing by? - Have you lost your mind?

What are you saying?

The reason you went to such lengths to marry into...

Minister Eun's family.

- What is it? - Others might hear you.

How dare you assault your older brother?

- Master Lin. - I am speaking with my brother.

It is none of your business.

I guess the Crown Prince must not know yet.

There would be an uproar by now if he did.

He will find out soon enough.

I will go and tell him everything right away.

Song In, the Assistant Royal Secretary's cousin,

and Wang Jeon, my brother.

I will tell him he must investigate...

what you two are up to.

Without delay.

Have you really...

Minister Eun's daughter, San.

Do you not want to save her?

Are you confessing you tried to kill her?

For the past seven years,

to prevent sending her to Yuan, Minister Eun...

deceived his country.

At the annual selection,

he showed the girl with the scar and kept her close.

What will happen when this comes to light?

That is none of your concern.

She will be taken away immediately.

She avoided being sent to Yuan for seven years.

This year, she will go.

By then, she will have become the daughter of a criminal.

No official will want her even as a concubine.

I assume...

she will become the wife of a soldier on a battlefield...

or be sold as a kisaeng.

That is...

the fate your brother is trying to save her from.

For her sake.

Will you tell the Crown Prince?

Hello, master.

The Crown Prince is bathing.

You may wait inside.

- No. - Pardon?

I will wait here.

Yes, your highness. It will get very cold.

I noticed the Crown Prince...

seemed to like Lady San very much.

If he pretended not to know her real identity out of affection,

that will make him an accomplice.

If he were to break the law...

that his father, the King, passed and every family...

was forced to obey with much shedding of tears...

Say only what you must.

To be honest,

I am waiting for you to tell the Crown Prince everything.

The Crown Prince will be furious,

he will wreak havoc in court,

and he and his father will drift even further apart.

I am hoping that he will lose his footing as Crown Prince.

You have a sly tongue.

Is that how...

you persuaded my brother?

You were our original target.

You were the one we wished to call master.

You are much smarter than your brother,

and would make a much dignified king.

Seven years ago,

the boy we considered to marry Lady San to...

was originally you.

If I were to kill you now,

the world would become a quieter place.

Did you not hear me?

I kept on saying "us" and "we".

It is not just me.

There are others who know about Lady San.

Get over your blind friendship,

and even for one moment,

will you consider Goryeo?

This year again,

dozens of our girls will be sent to Yuan.

In these circumstances,

are you really okay with...

a mongrel king on the throne?

- I thought he had come in. - Who?

- Master Wang. - Lin is here?

He said he would wait outside your door.

This is too early in the morning.

There is a meeting for the Festival of the Eight Vows.

I know.

Everyone must be busy. I should stay out of the way...

3,000 armed soldiers...

will line the square in the palace.

When wine is offered to the king who established Goryeo...

Do not worry.

I will be where I must be.

However, I must meet someone right now.

You must stay with your father all day today.

He will not like that much.

Chaeryun Party is tonight.

Of course I will attend.

You are the host. I must attend.

You will marry soon.

What?

You need an ally.

We must find a young lady from a powerful family.

Her Highness the Queen.

What brings you here without prior notice?

It feels like an ambush.

I wished to discuss...

a few things before your meeting began.

You can talk.

After the meeting today,

can you attend Chaeryun Party?

Why would I go to a party where young people look for partners?

I will look very silly.

Then I will remember that you will not be attending.

It looks like...

you have something else to do after sunset.

I thought you had a few things to talk about.

- What else? - I want to begin the search...

for the Crown Prince's marriage.

Will you give out an order?

The Crown Prince's marriage?

Does he also wish to be married?

Once he gets married,

he will not go out as often as he does right now.

It does not seem like he can get settled at this rate.

Do you not already have your heart set on someone?

- I have told him about this. - What do you mean?

He even rejected his one and only dear friend...

like something worthless over this young lady.

Our son, the Crown Prince, did that.

His heart is already set on her.

Why would he be happy about this marriage?

Which family is she from?

It looked like she did not have an impressive family.

- Have you seen her? - You never know.

She might be hiding her real identity like our son is.

Is this true?

She is someone from a humble family.

I wonder why you did not know.

I thought you did not miss...

every single step or breath he took.

I do not care.

She is only a momentary crush.

I do not care if he sets his heart on 12 or 24 of those women.

But that is not the case with a crown princess.

She will be the future queen and the mother of this nation.

She must stay with him until the day he dies.

So I will choose someone as wisely as I can.

Watch out for that girl.

Her eyes did not shake when I stood close by.

Her breath remained calm even when I made her bleed.

She is not as white as her dress.

Mother told me...

to stay with you the entire day.

Okay, Father.

I have been so mean to her...

for such a long time,

but she still has feelings.

She still has feelings left for me.

She should not.

Have you slept well?

Have you slept...

Goodness, you do not have to be so polite to me.

I will be your son-in-law soon. You are making me sad, Father.

You did not have to come.

I could have dropped her off at the palace.

That will not do.

I brought the ticket, and I asked her to come.

Of course, I should come.

There she is.

Are you the right one?

You are. Those eyes.

Let me escort you to your carriage.

Let us get ready.

Try to spend a day with him.

He may seem shallow on the outside,

but he might turn out to be a sincere man.

I am not sure.

If you simply cannot do this, will you tell me so?

Please do tell me.

Okay.

Please, come.

Take a look inside. I prepared that myself.

Do you like it?

Let us go.

I could not prepare a comfortable carriage.

But I came rushing to escort you. Will you let me do the honor?

What do you think you are doing?

This is an order from the Crown Prince.

"Escort Minister of Finance's daughter to Chaeryun Party."

I apologize, but tell him she has a previous engagement.

Let us go, Young Lady San.

That is him.

I am suffering from a chronic disease.

I get a panic attack whenever I am in a confined area.

Simply put, I suffer from hysteria.

If I do that, how will you deal with the embarrassment?

Listen to me, Young Lady San.

It is a cold day, and that horse does look uncomfortable.

But what can I do?

Then I will see you at the palace.

Do you not remember? He was imprisoned before.

I heard you.

Are you cold?

I am about to freeze to death.

I knew I should have brought a carriage.

You are smiling.

I do not think you can see that. I am wearing a veil.

I can see it now even through your veil.

I am relieved.

I was worried you might be crying the whole time.

I see.

You were worried the whole time.

Yes.

Should we race to the palace?

Do not do that.

- Let us do it. - It is too dangerous.

Why? Do you think you will lose?

Your horse used to be a war horse.

It is very feisty...

It is very far, but it is a great town near the ocean.

I bought a house and a fish shop under your name.

San will use this room while wearing her veil from now on.

You should leave before anyone gets suspicious.

Thank you for everything you have done.

Master.

Will Young Lady San...

really get married...

to that young master?

I guess so.

Please stop the marriage, master.

Did San tell you something?

She bought new blades.

She bought one to hide in her chest and one each for her ankles.

She chose ones with the sharpest edges.

What are you talking about?

She is not going...

to let her husband get near her after the marriage.

And she is ready to put her life at risk for that.

It is the truth.

Did she say she had someone else in mind?

Did she tell you who it was?

I could just guess.

When she came back,

she kept thinking about someone.

Whenever she thought of him,

she smiled.

Dan.

Yes, I am Dan. How did you know?

There is a butterfly there.

You must have recognized the butterflies on the cloth.

Yes.

Did you wait for me?

- Yes. - Where is my brother?

He is...

He could not come, right? He must have had something to do.

Yes. That is... That is why the Crown Prince...

That is why the Crown Prince sent you to wait for me...

and show me the way.

Yes.

Let us go.

But how...

- How did I recognize you? - Yes.

Your name is written there.

It says Jin Gwan.

The lady that has just come in has a peony mask.

She would be the daughter of the Minister of Affairs.

Their family always uses the peony mark.

The next one...

has a bamboo drawing.

She must be the daughter of the Coast Guard Myriarch Command.

There.

She has a butterfly drawing, right?

She does.

It is Young lady Wang Dan,

the daughter of the Chancellor.

Who is the man next to her?

It must be one of the Crown Prince's guards.

He has a gray mask.

Does that mean the Crown Prince cares for her?

It must be for her brother,

Wang Lin,

not the young lady.

He treats him like a friend.

Did you say that the Chancellor's family used a butterfly drawing?

He must be Young Master Wang.

Is it the second son or the third son?

Oh, my.

That young lady's mask does not have any drawings on it.

I did not know such a thing existed.

You look nice.

You are embarrassing me.

What is that butterfly drawing?

My sister sewed it for me.

You had a sister?

Yes.

I could have lived my life...

without knowing that such a nice place existed.

- You are right. - Wait.

It is also your first time being here, right?

It hurts.

Why were you so late?

- Who are you? - Be quiet. We need to go.

- Someone is glaring at you. - Who?

The scariest person. Hurry.

Hey, what are you doing?

- What are you doing? - Looking at you.

Gosh, do you want to die?

To be honest,

I prefer your old self.

You deserve a punch.

Wait.

- Here. - What is it?

- It is a present. - Why?

You should just receive it with a thank you.

Why?

Your mask without any drawings can be dangerous.

People must have already caught on.

- Really? - Probably...

If anyone saw us coming in.

See?

What now?

Do... Do I look funny?

No.

You are more beautiful than I thought you were.

It is too shabby.

Gosh, this is so tiresome.

Do you like it now?

It is not too bad.

- And one more thing. - What now?

You need to change this so that they will not recognize you.

Here.

It fits you well.

I asked for a little bird drawing.

Why? What does that mean?

You do not need to know.

The sun will be setting soon.

It is going to begin any minute.

Let us go.

Let us go.

Let us go.
