I want to build the future with you.

Why don't you take my hand now?

Your Highness will be dethroned soon.

Are you suggesting me to kill myself?

You don't have a right to dare deciding the end of my life.

Three musketeers?

What?

Three musketeers?

What did you just say?

Let's says this negotiation has never happened.

Go now.

Wear this and go in, Your Highness.

The Three Musketeers.

People call three of us as the three musketeers.

What did you just say?

I'm a royal guard for the Crown Prince,

and came here to escort the Crown Prince back secretly.

Someone said he's seen him getting arrested here.

Oh no...

Sir.

Where is he? Where?

Who do you mean, sir?

The Three Musketeers or whatever.

Where are they?

Sir!

Sir!

Let's see. Let's see...

Your Highness, Your Highness...

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you...

...please forgive my ignorance!

I'm right here, it's me.

I'm sorry?

I'm the Crown Prince.

Who are you bowing to?

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

I guess Min-seo looks more like a crown prince than you do.

They don't think you look qualified.

No, no way, sir!

What are you doing? Open the door!

Please come out. How in the world did this happen?

It'd be better for the governor to come in, instead of me going out.

I'm sorry?

I need to tell you something.

It is quiet here.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why don't you send them out?

Get out. Don't let anyone in!

- Yes, sir! - Get out!

I'm actually here...

...to find Park Dal-hyang.

Yes, I heard, Your Highness.

Although, I'm not sure how I should tell....

- Park Dal-hyang is now... - Park Dal-hyang is alive.

I'm sorry?

He's very much alive and left here to Hanyang earlier...

...to report the government on ridiculous things happening here.

I think your letter to the king and he will arrive around the same time.

Then it's like you're telling the king your mistakes.

If you want to stay alive and keep your position...

...listen to me carefully.

Yes, Your Highness.

After a whole month they left for Anju,

the three musketeers finally came back

after safely seeing off Yong Gol-dae at the border,

Wake up now. We're almost there.

Your Highness.

Why are you here now, sir?

I had a lot to do. Is everything okay?

Everything is not okay, Your Highness.

His Majesty suddenly sent a person here to check

...and found out you're not here a few days ago.

Then?

So...

...I had to tell him you three went to Hanyang...

...to gamble.

Three? You put us too?

I thought he wouldn't believe...

...if he went alone.

We're on our probation after spending time in jail...

...because of gambling, and you told him we're doing it again?

- Are you telling us to die? - What else could I've done?

Other excuses will make His Majesty more suspicious.

Then...

Please go to Hanyang now, Your Highness.

He's looking for you at every gambling house in Hanyang.

I think it's safer to be found while gambling.

No, this is too much...

Let's go.

We've had tough trip here...

...and we end up like this?

How could you be so unwitty?

Geez.

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

No, no...

This isn't right.

I know.

They're coming.

Get up, get up.

Here.

Here.

Excuse us.

Your Highness!

Oh, why are you here?

I hoped we were wrong, but you're really gambling here.

You shouldn't do this, Your Highness!

Oh, I told you I didn't want to come!

Oh, how embarrassing.

You stupid jerks!

I let you go to take care of your health...

...even when you're on probation...

...but you lied to me again to gamble?

I tried and tried to leave you guys apart...

...but you guys always gather again somehow.

Minister, what are you teaching them?

Why are they acting like this?

This is all my fault.

Please blame me, Your Majesty.

Humans are different from animals...

...because we can reflect upon our behaviors.

Yet, you guys never do that...

...no matter how hard I yell at you?

Look!

There's a man who has been punished same as you...

...and he's changed as a loyal servant...

...who throws his own life for his country!

Yes.

I positioned Park Dal-hyang as a Primary Royal Guard.

His loyalty is so much better than you!

Do you know what he's accomplished...

...while you're pathetically gambling?

That's what happened...

When the three musketeers were running all over the country...

...making things right and finishing all the hard tasks...

...there was a huge luck waiting for me in Hanyang.

How is Park Dal-hyang alive?

What the heck are you talking about?

The local governor took the advice from the three musketeers,

and arrested Kim Ja-jeom in Anju right away.

I'm so sorry. Please accept my apologies.

Please forgive us.

We need a witness to show

it's all Kim Ja-jeom's plot.

Will you help us, sir?

They begged for forgiveness from Yong Gol-dae...

...and the governor's new report arrived in Hanyang 10 days ago...

What is...

...this is ridiculous!

The Commander-in-Chief's intention is suspicious, Your Majesty.

I think he deserves to be interrogated by you.

Look...

So Park Dal-hyang is alive...

...whom Yong Gol-dae tried to kill?

That's true, Your Majesty.

I've met him a few days ago here in Hanyang.

I must see him.

Bring Park Dal-hyang here.

For this incident, a mere low-ranking officer...

...got to meet the king face to face.

Is this report true?

Did you really survive hiding under the floor?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Is it true that you heard Kim Ja-jeom saying

the Crown Princess can be dethroned

by killing you?

Yes, it is true, Your Majesty.

What a crazy man!

How cunning of him!

By the way...

...how did you survive?

How could you think of going under the floor

acting dead after all that?

That's...

I'm not sure which part of my story impressed His Majesty...

Wow.

Gosh.

Right!

That's so lucky! That's right!

I'm so impressed by his story.

It's been a while since I've heard a great story.

I even saw bright future of Joseon...

..as I met this courageous and clever young man.

So I'm going to give him special promotion...

...so I can keep him on my side.

I'll give Park Dal-hyang a position

of 6th Primary Royal Guard.

Come near, Dal-hyang.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Closer.

Yes.

You learn from him!

While you guys are going crazy about gambling...

...he has done everything!

He defended the honor of the Crown Princess by himself...

...prevented the war by himself...

...and tracked down the disloyal subject by himself.

He is as good as a general!

Maybe he had some help...

No, he did it alone!

By himself!

This man from Gangwon-do, Park Dal-hyang did it by himself!

Wait!

You took longer than I thought.

I thought it'd be soon.

What an unprecedented event!

Now you're 6th Royal Guard for the king?

I guess we have to serve you now.

Surprised, right?

I still can't believe.

How could this happen?

His Majesty is showing too much attention to me lately...

...I'm not sure what to do about it.

So you didn't mention anything about us?

What?

We saved you and sent you here.

I can't say that though.

I wanted to...

but I couldn't, thinking His Majesty will punish heavily.

Should I have told him?

No, that's not it.

You should treat us a nice meal.

Of course!

I could do that more than once.

I've got the salary in advance

so I have enough money now, too.

Let's drink at night.

I'll let you know.

I have something to report to you separately.

Then, I have to go back to work.

It took me long to be the right hand gauard for the Crown Prince,

...but he got to be the 6th Royal Guard for the king at once.

I guess we gave him too much support.

What about us now?

Will we be sent off somewhere this time?

I'm sorry, but I don't know either.

I need to save my butt first.

It seems Park Dal-hyang's words have more power than mine now...

...so try to talk to him with a bribe or something.

Wow.

Life can be turned around at once.

That's life I guess.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I feel like I won't be able to...

...come back here if I leave now.

Your Highness.

I'm here...

Where is the Crown Princess?

She went to the temple for the memorial of the late Queen.

To the temple?

Yes, Your Highness. She just left.

We didn't know you're coming today...

Should I prepare for your bath?

No, I'm tired.

I'll sleep first.

Then we'll prepare for your nap, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I just found out the Crown Princess hasn't left yet.

I heard she's about to leave.

Should I tell her to come?

No. That's okay.

Yes, Your Highness.

What a relief to have nice weather

- to go to the temple. - Yes.

We have a great day for the trip to the temple.

- Yes. - The late queen will be welcoming.

The Crown Prince is here.

Your Highness.

Are you okay, Your Highness?

When did you come?

Just now.

I didn't know you were coming so I was about to leave.

What should I do?

Oh, His Majesty thinks you went gambling again.

I wanted to tell him something... ...but no good excuse came up...

I'm coming from being scolded by His Majesty.

Already?

Is everything okay?

Yes, of course.

You know about it, right?

The hairpin is right here. See?

Park Dal-hyang brought it to me.

It was so close though.

I thought I was dead that day...

...and he showed up right before I entered the party.

What a miracle he's alive!

The timing was just so perfect.

- I sent him. - Excuse me?

I sent Park Dal-hyang...

...to save you.

Yes, I know.

Well, I'm just saying.

Then have a safe trip.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Did I say something wrong?

No.

Then why...

What?

You seemed upset.

No, that's not possible. I'm not upset.

Actually...

...a bit maybe.

Why?

I'm not even sure.

What?

I'm not sure...

...what this feeling is.

What feeling are you talking about...

I'm not sure.

So don't ask me why.

I don't know why I'm doing this either.

Your Highness.

It's a letter from the King's Royal Guard, Park Dal-hyang.

I have to report this to you separately.

I've captured Mi-ryung.

Isn't that the late queen's hairpin?

That's right.

We were close to making a huge mistake.

I almost made myself a mean father-in-law.

Who are you?

Some woman is here for you.

Let her in.

How did it go?

The Crown Princess didn't show up to the party.

Yeah?

Yes, ma'am.

People gossiped about her not coming due to the missing hairpin.

And His Majesty got very upset.

He ordered to drag the Crown Princess out of her palace...

...and the party was halted.

She's probably in trouble by now.

Even if the Crown Prince doesn't love me...

...he's not the type of person who'd kick his wife out...

...and let a murderer in as his wife.

Even if I die...

...I'll die in the palace...

...as a Crown Princess with honor.

She should've took my advice.

What a stupid woman.

There's news from Anju.

Let him in.

Who sent this?

A man with a horse gave this to me.

He only had one eye.

Everything went well in Anju.

The Crown Prince signed the paper stating he will...

...accept you as his wife.

So go to the hot spring and wait for the Crown Prince.

Go to the written address.

The Crown Prince will be there soon to meet you.

I'd lured her out of the city...

...so she can't hear any news.

She doesn't know anything yet.

I thought I should wait on your order...

...what to do with that woman.

This is the place she's staying now.

Ma'am, you have a visitor.

Are you coming from Anju?

Yes, I've arrived just now.

When did you come?

10 days ago.

Minister Kim told me to wait here in the letter.

I heard you signed the paper.

Yes,

I signed the paper.

You're disappointed in me, aren't you?

I know, sure you are.

But...

...I tried to keep my promise. I mean it.

It wasn't my plan.

Noh Soo sold me off to Kim Ja-jeom.

I was kidnapped...

...and was threatened.

He insisted he'll make me the Crown Princess...

I thought he went crazy.

You could've said no.

Of course, I said no at first.

I thought it wasn't possible or right.

Also...

...I even made a promise to you.

But he did everything without even listening to me.

Just doing as it pleases him...

I was just a knight on his chessboard.

I'm a victim, too.

Please don't get me wrong.

At the end...

...the result came to this, though.

So...

...do you like the result?

No matter how the process was...

...the result is for you to become the Crown Princess.

Do you like it?

How about you?

When I think about it...

...it won't be too bad.

Right?

You think so too, right?

That's right, this is the right way.

This is how it should have went.

If you weren't harsh on me at that time...

...we would have been a married couple already.

Then...

...everyone would've been happy and at ease.

I don't know why we wasted time...

...when things will turn out like this at the end...

...don't you agree?

Then that woman wouldn't have lived a lonely life

as a hostage at the palace...

Is that what you think?

Yes, I feel so bad for her.

In fact, she didn't do anything wrong...

So I got worried...

...and gave her advice.

She ignored me though.

What advice?

I told her dying with grace will be better...

...than being dethroned and abandoned.

But she didn't...

...insisting she wouldn't be abandoned.

I gave that advice looking out for her...

What a foolish woman....

She doesn't know anything about us.

I told her.

We can't be disconnected.

It's a good thing.

About what?

Thank god you didn't cross the border as you promised...

...and I met you again here.

The oxymoron of my life

is now resolved.

What are you saying?

Let's go to Hanyang.

Get ready.

Right now?

Yes, now.

Let's go with me.

Long time no see.

Sure it is.

I'm sure it's complicated for you, right?

Now you have to serve me, who you once tried to kill.

I'll follow you.

Go ahead first.

Take care of her.

Yes, Your Highness.

Please get in.

Let's go.

We're here now.

Please get out.

- Put her in. - Yes.

What is this?

What are you doing?

What is this? Where am I?

This is palace prison.

You'll be interrogated soon.

Interrogated?

What are you talking about?

Are you crazy?

You'll kill me on your own again?

For what?

Get the Crown Prince here.

His Highness said he'd go with me,

how dare you treat me like this!

This is the order from His Highness!

No way.

He already signed the paper

stating that he'll accept me as his wife...

No, he didn't.

Because he didn't have to sign it.

Are you surprised...

...that I'm alive?

I was also surprised that you came back.

I thought you left for sure.

Didn't think you'd brake your promise with His Highness.

I thought at least your love for him was real.

I'm sorry to tell you but...

...I'm alive so he didn't have to sign the paper.

You drugged General Yong Gol-dae asking to kill me.

You shared false information with the Crown Princess,

urging to kill herself.

Just for that, you'll be banished.

So there's no more chances...

...for you to be the crown princess, ever.

So stop dreaming.

Oh?

You're here now, sir?

You are...

Yes, Park Dal-hyang from Gangwon-do.

I'm sorry for not being dead.

Hyang-sun is in there, too.

You'll be interrogated soon...

...so talk to each other on what to say.

So you can reduce your sentence.

Go.

Hyang-sun is asking for you.

You were asking for me?

Can you please call the Crown Prince?

We need to talk.

You know our relationship.

Let me see him just once.

This is all but misunderstanding.

He'll understand

if he hears me out.

Let me meet him.

He won't see you anymore.

That's not true. You don't know anything!

Well.

He'll regret if he sends me like this.

He can't cut me off.

People don't know.

We're in love with each other.

Love?

Did you just say love?

What kind of love is that?

That's not love.

You just went crazy for the Crown Princess position.

That's obsession.

So think straight.

You.

I'm not sure how you survived...

...but I will kill you myself.

Go ahead.

Let's see who dies first.

I'm go until the end once I'm provoked.

Let's see...

...what you can do in there.

Please!

I beg you.

Please let me meet him just once.

I might...

...die.

You just said you'll kill me, and now you'll die.

Do whatever you want.

Either kill yourself or kill me,

I look forward to what you'll do.

Now that I think of it,

I didn't have to treat her like that.

But I was too young and too proud,

thinking I brought justice of some sort.

Now I feel like I've accomplished something.

It was a good idea to trick her to be here.

I used my brain this time

to avoid getting poisoned for the second time.

I can now relax and have a drink.

Will you go to see His Highness with me?

No, please report to him for me.

I need to go home.

My father came here from my hometown.

Oh, okay.

I'll see you later then.

Your Highness.

We put her at the royal jail.

Did she go in without making any trouble?

We've put her in right away, she didn't get a chance.

What did she say?

She just looked too shocked.

Okay.

Let the law judge her.

Yes, Your Highness.

Pan-soe!

Oh!

Yes, sir!

Is my father here?

He just got here.

Father!

Father.

Dal-hyang!

Father!

Dal-hyang!

- I'll bow first. - Right, right.

I should.

How have you been?

I've been well, very well.

It was a long trip, right?

It took me a whole 2 months.

Way to Hanyang was much further than I remember.

Can I get you something to eat?

He's my servant, Pan-soe.

I see, he already greeted me.

Now you have a servant.

My son is now so successful.

Father.

Doesn't every man with class have a servant?

Father,

take this.

Take it.

What is it?

This is a pass for the palace only given to people who work there.

Please read it.

Park Dal-hyang, the 6th Primary Royal Guard...

Father.

I became the 6th Primary Royal Guard.

The 6th!

You know how high that is, right?

Father.

I made it.

Dal-hyang!

Father.

My Dal-hyang.

What are you doing? Bring some drinks with snacks.

Yes, sir.

Dal-hyang.

Who are you again?

I'm Park Dal-hyang from Gangwon-do...

...son of Park Oh-soon.

Right, that's right!

My son.

My son!

Wait.

Father, what are you doing?

It's my honor to see the 6th primary guard

for the first time in my life.

I should bow to you.

Stop it, Father.

- The 6th Primary Guard! - Stop it now.

The 6th Primary Guard!

We love each other.

I need to see him.

Where is he?

I need to see the Prince.

He's waiting for me.

I need to get out.

What is it?

Then?

I couldn't let the enemy win.

So I told Yong Gol-dae.

Bring it on.

I'm carrying out the king's order.

That's right!

Then?

So we fought in the bamboo forest.

Of course, of course I won by far.

I was about to behead him...

And?

Excuse me...

Are you Sir Park Dal-hyang?

Yes?

I'm from the Royal Prison

Royal Prison?

What is it?

A prisoner called Hyang-sun, who came in today hung herself.

Who is Hyang-sun?

She was talking to herself she needs to see the Crown Prince.

They said she went insane.

I beg you.

Please let me meet him once.

I might...

...die.

Where's Hyang-sun?

Is she dead?

No, she's still alive.

She went to get treatment.

She's in that room getting treated.

Murder! Murder!

What did you say?

We have a murder case.

The prisoner killed the nurse and ran away.

It's the woman who hung herself.

Please stay outside, I need to take her clothes off.

Okay.

We must capture her!

She couldn't have made it far.

She tied it the way it wouldn't choke her.

She wasn't trying to kill herself!

How could the Royal Prison lose a woman?

She's the important witness!

Do you know anywhere she'd go?

How can I know that...

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

She's coming back tomorrow.

I know it.

It feels tomorrow is taking too long.

I'm sorry?

What have I been doing so far?

Pardon?

I've wasted so much time.

How could I?

I need to get out.

What excuse should I make?

I'm sorry?

Sir, it's cold now. Why don't we go to sleep?

Excuse me. Here.

What is it?

What's that?

Someone told us to give this to you.

It's from someone named, Heo Seung-po.

Oh, he sent some drinks.

Who's Seung-po?

Oh, he's another alcohol lover.

He's a friend of Master Dal-hyang.

My son has a friend now?

What's his family like?

He's the son of the 2nd Primary General Heo Seok.

General Heo's son is my son's friend?

Not just him.

He's a friend of the Crown Prince.

My son has...

...really made it!

What are you doing here at this late hour?

Something happened.

Mi-ryung escaped from the prison.

How could...

She was keep saying she wants to meet His Highness...

Thought she might be here.

Is everything okay?

His Highness...

...went out.

- To where? - He didn't mention.

Did he get her letter?

No way...

Find him first, he may be in danger.

She wasn't sane.

She'll do anything.

We need to find His Highness.

- His guards went with him, yes? - Three went with him.

- Find out where they went! - Yes, sir.

Hyang-sun broke out?

She pretended she hung herself and left.

People are looking for her.

That witch went crazy

after losing the crown princess position.

She's insane.

She's in the upper hand.

Who will outwit the crazy woman?

Are you here now?

I was about to head to the Royal Prison to look for you.

I'm here to get my sword.

Bring me my sword and arrows.

Is everything okay?

- We have no time, hurry! - Yes, sir.

Is my father sleeping?

He's still drinking.

Sir Seung-po sent some drinks over.

Drinks?

Yes, sir. He sent it as gift.

Okay.

Why are you out here?

Sir!

Why are you standing here?

Did you know we were coming?

You came out to greet us?

Park Dal-hyang.

We came by since we didn't hear from you

after you promised you will treat us tonight.

Where are you going?

I'm not sure how you survived...

...but I'll kill you myself.

Go ahead.

Let's see who dies first.

Father?

Father?

Father?

Father.

Father.

Father.

Father!

Whoa!

Sir!

I'm not sure.

Sorry?

So don't ask me why

since don't know why I'm doing this.

Your Highness.

Are you sleeping?

What is it?

Your Highness!

You stopped on your way to go hunting?

- At this late night? - It's all excuses.

What?

Then what brings you here...

Do you want to know why I'm like this?

I didn't know yesterday

but I know now.

I will never tell you though.

Why not?

It's too silly.

I need to keep my pride too.

Come back tomorrow, right away.

Don't let me wait.

I don't like to stay lonely in my room.

Did you say stay lonely?

Now you're saying that?

I'm sorry, I regret it too.

Deeply inside.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Hang in there.

You'll be fine.

Your Highness.

This is all strange.

This must be all her doing.

Hyang-sun is saving me somehow.

What do you mean three musketeers?

The Crown Prince and his friends?

I'm the Commander-in-Chief of this country!

Father.

Arrest Park Dal-hyang now.

I'll tell you everything.

Hang immediately.

Your Majesty!

What is it...

The war.

The war has started!
