Original subtitles

Here is...

where I used to come with my father to see the stars.

Have you...

ever heard of this?

They say the sun is seen only in daytime...

and the moon in nighttime.

They say the sun and the moon cannot be seen together.

But look closely.

You see...

they are in the same sky together, right?

Even though you cannot see your father anymore,

he will always be with you.

I have so much to say to you...

Ga Eun...

Like this sun waiting for the moon,

I will always...

be with you.

Just like that moon, I may not be able to see you clearly,

and like that moon...

you may change, but however you do,

I will protect you.

It will be hard...

but will you remember?

That I am always at your side?

That you are...

not alone.

Are you...

going somewhere?

To keep the promise I made your father...

and to become a man who can protect the people I care for,

I shall leave.

Whether I am...

faithful to the promise I made your father,

could you...

keep watch over me?

If you will,

meet me here after three days.

(Episode 8)

Hey, look.

- Congratulations, Your Majesty. - Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Thanks to the rain ritual you presided over in person,

we got some rain.

The people are praising you.

I am pleased also.

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's bride...

We shall discuss that issue at a later date.

You cannot.

You do not know if it will be for 1 month or 2.

Your Majesty, please stop him.

I believe...

the deities approve of Sun's decision.

I gave permission.

Mother.

I shall find a way to topple Pyunsoo Group.

I will return when I have earned the right to become king.

Must you...

do this?

Yes.

Also,

there is someone I wish to take with me.

Deputy Magistrate Han's daughter.

Han Ga Eun.

Deputy Magistrate Han Gyu Ho and Adjunct Park Moo Ha...

are to investigate the waterways of the Bureau of Water Supply.

This man...

is Deputy Magistrate Han Gyu Ho.

He falsely used my name, the Crown Prince.

Your Highness.

Why did you...

I...

pretended to carry out the Crown Prince's command...

and committed high treason.

I wish to pay for it with my life.

May His Highness...

behead me today...

and make an example of me.

Father.

The Crown Prince had given you a command.

Why did you lie?

I am Han Ga Eun, the daughter of...

the deputy magistrate the Crown Prince beheaded!

Say that I am here to kill him.

The deputy magistrate's daughter?

Yes.

She is jailed in the Department of Justice.

I have...

a daughter.

I will protect her.

I shall care for her myself.

I promised to care for her...

and I completely forgot.

Release her and bring her here.

"A friend visits and all is well."

It means it would be very nice...

if a friend you studied with were to visit from far away.

Sit down.

There is always a hanging screen and I wear my mask.

Come over.

Come over.

- Speak from your stomach. - Come over.

You read like this.

Walk like this. Good.

Look straight ahead.

Watch your stride. That is it.

Good.

This is my most favorite spot.

It is beautiful.

People stare at my mask and the glares pierce like arrows.

When it got too much...

I came here alone to cry.

Lee Sun.

I shall ask you once more.

When I leave after the initiation,

you must live wearing a mask.

Can you really manage?

Having to hide who you are will take its toll on you.

You cannot trust anyone...

and you cannot share your heart with anyone.

It will be much harder than living in hunger and poverty.

Your Highness.

Like I believe in you,

please believe in me.

Okay.

It will be hard, but bear it for me.

However,

I worry about...

,my sickly mother and young sister.

I shall care for them well. Do not worry.

Concentrate on your studies.

Lee Sun.

When you wear this mask,

you are me.

Do not ever hang your head.

And...

when I return,

I would like you to become my friend...

and loyal servant.

Will you do that?

Can someone as lowly as me...

can stay close to you, Your Highness?

Your Highness, I shall come in.

Chung Woon, did you find Ga Eun?

She is imprisoned in the Department of Justice.

What are you talking about?

She came to the palace and announced...

she would kill you.

Your Highness, I shall wear the mask for a while.

Go and see her.

The Crown Prince...

knows that the initiation will be held tomorrow,

but it is today.

When it begins, Dae Mok will make you...

drink the poppy wine.

You will have symptoms of...

heart palpitations and visual and auditory hallucinations. Endure it.

Then he will confirm your face and ask for your name.

What should you say?

"I am..."

"the Crown Prince of Joseon."

"I am Yi Sun."

He was released already.

Ga Eun.

Ga Eun!

Ga Eun!

Ga Eun.

Please forgive me for not being able to...

keep the promise.

Whenever I see you,

I am reminded of my father's death.

I do not think I will be happy.

So...

forget about me.

I do not want to see you anymore,

so...

never look for me again.

Please forget me...

if I lose my life and cannot...

keep our promise.

However, if I come back alive,

I shall be with you from then on.

I will not be greedy and ask you to leave with me.

So please...

come back safely.

Relay my words.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Pyunsoo Group...

suggests us to be allies.

However,

we shall never be with that arrogant and unfaithful group.

Overcome your fear and hold your weapons.

Get rid of Pyunsoo Group.

The future of Joseon is within your hands.

All the spirits will help us...

when we are willing to sacrifice for what needs to be done.

Today,

we will win for certain.

Chun Soo.

If he dies,

I die as well.

He is the one who had the Crown Prince's medallion.

Your Highness, you need to join...

Pyunsoo Group now.

Tell us your name.

Lee Sun.

It means you will lead a different life.

It is Yi Sun.

Make him drink some more.

Are you really...

the Crown Prince of Joseon, Yi Sun?

I am...

the Crown Prince of Joseon,

Yi Sun!

His Highness! We must protect the Crown Prince!

Retreat immediately!

The King has sent a fake prince.

The Crown Prince.

We must find a way to save him.

We are running out of time.

You must decide now.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

I know you are worried about Lady Ga Eun,

but you need to return to the palace before 10pm.

I know.

I shall meet...

Dae Mok tomorrow.

I came because they said I can meet with the Crown Prince.

Let me meet him.

Well...

I am very sorry...

about what happened to Deputy Magistrate Han.

I am sorry that you had to lose your father.

It is not you...

who should ask for forgiveness.

It is not the Crown Prince...

who made your father die.

He ordered my father directly to investigate.

But he...

deceived my father.

I saw...

him behead my father myself.

I am wrong?

If it was not him,

who killed my father?

Do you know the actual influence of Joseon, Dae Mok?

My resentment...

nor the Crown Prince's responsibility will disappear...

even if someone else was behind it.

It is not the Crown Prince.

You put a mask on a fake prince...

to save the real Crown Prince and kill me. Is that right?

My, my. You tried to defeat an expert,

but you stabbed yourself in the foot instead.

We can put anyone behind a mask...

and make him our puppet king.

It is the best move...

to kill the Crown Prince,

and make myself the king.

Kill the Crown Prince?

Please, Your Highness, You must flee.

I will go to His Majesty.

You take this child and escape from the palace.

Your Highness?

Wait for the Chief Commander and alert him to the situation,

and make sure the Crown Prince does not return to the palace.

Do you understand?

No, Your Highness.

Get going. Now.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

I think she was poisoned.

Your Highness. Please wake up. Your Highness.

This is water. Drink all of it and throw it up.

Your Highness.

Dae Mok!

Dae Mok!

Step aside!

Move!

Step aside!

Please, come this way.

- No. - Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You said you wish to know the truth...

behind your father's death.

Those men you just saw...

killed your father.

I hid a crock...

in the Crown Prince's greenhouse.

Please take that...

to Chun Soo.

Chun... Chun Soo?

You must give it to Chun Soo.

Yes, Your Highness.

If you want...

to clear your father's good name,

you must find the crock...

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Father!

He is the real Crown Prince! Get him!

Chief Commander. Protect the Crown Prince.

Yes, Your Majesty.

- No! - No!

No!

Father!

Run.

No!

Father!
