00:00:00.710 --> 00:00:01.710
(This program is
a work of imagination...)

00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:02.770
(based on historical figures.)

00:00:02.770 --> 00:00:03.900
(It may include fictitious details
and psychological description.)

00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:20.650
Sitting here and
waiting for the King all night...

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:24.650
is just because of my job.

00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.960
I do not have to think
about anything else.

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:44.000
One good thing
about being the King is...

00:00:45.470 --> 00:00:49.200
that no one can not be in my way.

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.370
Wherever I go,

00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.380
whoever I go to,
no one dares to stop me.

00:01:03.590 --> 00:01:06.150
Did something bad happen?

00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:10.420
You look unhappy.

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:15.560
Yes, I am unhappy.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:17.900
Because of you.

00:01:21.410 --> 00:01:24.100
Amazingly, you shake my heart.

00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:28.470
Sometimes I think of you...

00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:31.610
while I am concentrating on my work.

00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:36.750
You have been
disturbing me all day today.

00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:42.190
Thinking that it is your shift today...

00:01:43.830 --> 00:01:45.490
makes my chest feel tight.

00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:52.630
But I was worried for nothing.

00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:57.400
You drool and sleep well here.

00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:04.110
You're either...

00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:05.640
cunning or slow.

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:08.250
You bother me.

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:11.680
You make me angry.

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:15.250
Look at you now.

00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:18.060
Your eyes are just wide open.

00:02:20.890 --> 00:02:24.260
You know how much I...

00:02:35.350 --> 00:02:37.480
If you're tired,
go to your room and rest.

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:06.010
Last night, the King went
to the observation facility...

00:03:06.010 --> 00:03:07.470
and not to Sookchang Palace.

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:09.540
He went there and turned it upside down.

00:03:10.610 --> 00:03:14.190
Then is it true that more than
half of the workers...

00:03:14.190 --> 00:03:15.350
at the observation facility got fired?

00:03:15.350 --> 00:03:17.390
Yes, as a punishment
for receiving bribes...

00:03:17.390 --> 00:03:19.280
and manipulating the date
the royal concubine to share his bed.

00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.190
The person who suborned is...

00:03:28.940 --> 00:03:30.200
All right.

00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:32.530
I will not talk bad about
the Royal Secretary so stop crying.

00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:37.140
The Royal Secretary is amazing.

00:03:37.250 --> 00:03:39.870
He is the only one
who got out of this chaos.

00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:46.140
This is not Royal Guard's business.

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.250
I am saying this
because I can not help it.

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:52.080
How could you suborn the workers
at the observation facility?

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:54.750
You went too far.

00:03:58.430 --> 00:04:00.690
The King said he will not punish you,

00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.130
but it does not mean
that he is not angry.

00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:11.240
Of course, the King would be angry.

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.470
But the King has always forgiven me.

00:04:18.050 --> 00:04:19.810
So he will forgive me again.

00:04:21.210 --> 00:04:23.320
I am sure that I have...

00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:25.650
His Majesty's heart.

00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:38.400
Anyway, I said it because
I am worried of you.

00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:40.670
I will go now.

00:04:43.470 --> 00:04:44.700
Royal Guard,

00:04:52.820 --> 00:04:54.180
do you know...

00:04:56.260 --> 00:04:58.920
about the three things that the King...

00:05:00.950 --> 00:05:02.290
wishes to achieve?

00:05:02.590 --> 00:05:04.760
No matter how bad my memory is,

00:05:05.460 --> 00:05:07.030
I remember...

00:05:07.370 --> 00:05:09.390
what I heard many times.

00:05:10.830 --> 00:05:12.500
Tell me about them.

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:18.770
Is this a test?

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:28.560
First is water control.

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.190
(To control water)

00:05:30.190 --> 00:05:31.520
Second is...

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.620
As soon as the water control is over,

00:05:37.890 --> 00:05:39.930
I want to proceed with the next.

00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:42.530
Is national defense the reason...

00:05:42.530 --> 00:05:44.000
why you want to build a castle?

00:05:44.030 --> 00:05:46.000
That is one of the purposes.

00:05:46.900 --> 00:05:49.670
However, there is another reason.

00:05:50.140 --> 00:05:53.840
I want to give people a new experience.

00:05:55.080 --> 00:05:59.240
Experience of receiving a fair payment
for one's own labor.

00:06:04.930 --> 00:06:06.890
When we built castles,

00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:09.720
we always forced the people to join.

00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:13.160
The people had to give up
their livelihoods and work.

00:06:14.030 --> 00:06:17.700
The world always took it for granted,

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.200
but that is not right.

00:06:21.580 --> 00:06:23.600
No one will step up first,

00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:25.740
so I have no choice
but to step up first.

00:06:28.140 --> 00:06:30.380
I already chose the name for the castle.

00:06:33.390 --> 00:06:34.580
It is Hwaseong.

00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:36.620
Hwaseong.

00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:50.860
The King...

00:06:52.030 --> 00:06:53.700
told them...

00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.570
but not me.

00:06:58.840 --> 00:07:00.040
Why?

00:07:01.550 --> 00:07:02.770
Why is that?

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:06.440
Your Highness,

00:07:06.760 --> 00:07:09.810
Sung Duk Im, the personal maid
from the King's Palace is here.

00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:14.950
Lady!

00:07:16.130 --> 00:07:19.460
I mean... Maid Sung, sit closer to me.

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:29.570
Your Highness,

00:07:31.630 --> 00:07:34.020
I asked a special favor
to Court Lady Kwon...

00:07:34.930 --> 00:07:36.860
to let me meet you.

00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:40.160
Maid Sung,

00:07:41.470 --> 00:07:43.730
is my brother okay?

00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:49.870
Will His Majesty continue
to adore my brother?

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:52.210
Of course, Your Highness.

00:07:54.790 --> 00:07:55.980
I am relieved.

00:07:57.460 --> 00:07:59.550
That is what everyone says,

00:08:00.390 --> 00:08:02.820
but I am still worried.

00:08:04.460 --> 00:08:07.560
I wanted to ask someone I can trust.

00:08:08.130 --> 00:08:10.360
Why are you worried
about the Royal Secretary?

00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:12.230
His Majesty now knows...

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:16.560
the kind of person I am.

00:08:19.410 --> 00:08:22.940
He probably knows that I am useless.

00:08:24.650 --> 00:08:25.910
What if...

00:08:26.750 --> 00:08:29.480
he hates my brother because of me?

00:08:31.260 --> 00:08:32.950
I am worried.

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:36.150
You should not be worried.

00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:38.090
At least for once,

00:08:39.160 --> 00:08:41.490
I want to be helpful to my brother.

00:08:43.300 --> 00:08:44.590
But I am...

00:08:46.070 --> 00:08:48.160
just useless.

00:09:32.380 --> 00:09:34.280
Did you want to see me, Your Majesty?

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.550
I saw you on the way.

00:09:42.460 --> 00:09:44.220
You are coming from Sookchang Palace.

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:48.020
- Yes.
- Why did you go there?

00:09:49.400 --> 00:09:51.260
Did Wonbin call you?

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.040
Did she call you on purpose
or was it the Royal Secretary...

00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:58.170
It is not what you think it is.

00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:02.200
I know Queen Wonbin personally.

00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:04.920
We have known each other
for a long time.

00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:06.940
She only wanted to see me as a friend.

00:10:07.420 --> 00:10:08.680
Is that true?

00:10:09.250 --> 00:10:13.250
Your Majesty.
Queen Wonbin is still a young girl.

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:15.350
And to me,

00:10:15.990 --> 00:10:17.720
she is an innocent person.

00:10:18.930 --> 00:10:21.790
She is struggling to get
used to the life in the palace.

00:10:22.530 --> 00:10:23.960
She is having serious depression.

00:10:24.670 --> 00:10:28.600
I think you should not neglect it.

00:10:30.010 --> 00:10:31.800
Depression is a mental illness.

00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.470
She should lean on
someone she can trust.

00:10:34.650 --> 00:10:37.070
You are her husband...

00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:39.310
and a pillar to rely on.

00:10:40.990 --> 00:10:44.060
If you visit her more often
and treat her nicely...

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:45.380
Why should I...

00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:51.550
hear that from you?

00:10:54.370 --> 00:10:56.460
Treat her nicely?

00:10:57.970 --> 00:11:00.200
She is only a young girl?

00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:04.770
Do not be ridiculous.

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.700
Age does not matter.

00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:10.770
She is my concubine.

00:11:13.350 --> 00:11:14.540
Why are you...

00:11:16.490 --> 00:11:18.910
sending me to another woman?

00:11:22.530 --> 00:11:25.420
Do you not care about how I feel?

00:11:27.870 --> 00:11:29.590
Do you...

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:32.690
not see me as a man anymore?

00:11:35.510 --> 00:11:37.100
You are merely a court maid,

00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:41.800
and you bragged about protecting me.

00:11:41.810 --> 00:11:43.970
Until the day I die,

00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:48.540
I shall protect you.

00:11:56.260 --> 00:11:59.620
You sacrificed yourself
to protect my life.

00:12:01.430 --> 00:12:02.620
How can I possibly...

00:12:04.270 --> 00:12:06.390
not love such a woman?

00:12:17.550 --> 00:12:18.810
I have always thought...

00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:23.710
that you also have feelings for me.

00:12:26.790 --> 00:12:28.880
That you love me...

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.760
as much as I love you.

00:12:38.570 --> 00:12:41.930
If that is not true,
tell me right here, right now.

00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:50.870
Do you...

00:12:53.450 --> 00:12:55.910
really have no feelings for me?

00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:02.550
I...

00:13:06.130 --> 00:13:07.220
I...

00:13:18.610 --> 00:13:22.200
I do not wish to be your woman.

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:28.040
Never for once,

00:13:28.890 --> 00:13:31.050
I wished that.

00:13:52.540 --> 00:13:53.640
Look at this.

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:03.040
I am back.

00:14:03.090 --> 00:14:05.390
- Hi, Duk Im.
- Hi.

00:14:05.390 --> 00:14:08.080
Duk Im. This book is really funny.
Let us read it together.

00:14:09.060 --> 00:14:11.520
- Look.
- Hey. I cannot see.

00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:13.700
Duk Im just got here.

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:15.860
Put it in the center.

00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:21.200
This is where I belong.

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.830
What are you talking about?

00:14:28.810 --> 00:14:31.010
Wait. I am not done reading yet.

00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.270
- Hurry up.
- Wait.

00:14:34.690 --> 00:14:35.880
Okay.

00:14:55.140 --> 00:14:58.230
Your Majesty. It is late.

00:14:58.380 --> 00:15:02.070
What are you thinking about
in the Royal Office this late?

00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:07.810
Your Majesty.

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.180
I was thinking about someone.

00:15:11.990 --> 00:15:13.380
A precious one.

00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:20.890
I thought she was mine, but she was not.

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:25.990
I thought she was...

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.660
always waiting for me in the same place.

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:33.000
But it turns out
she was not waiting for me.

00:15:35.310 --> 00:15:36.700
She only stood there...

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.040
because that was where she had to be.

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.110
I thought she would come
if I told her to,

00:15:46.790 --> 00:15:49.050
but it was all a foolish
misunderstanding.

00:16:00.370 --> 00:16:02.360
What do you think?

00:16:03.470 --> 00:16:05.870
I do not understand what you mean.

00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:10.610
Should I have her against her will?

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:15.110
I have endured the life
of long-suffering...

00:16:15.490 --> 00:16:17.450
and took the throne.

00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:20.630
Should I compensate myself for that?

00:16:20.630 --> 00:16:21.720
Your Majesty.

00:16:21.990 --> 00:16:23.520
Someone told me...

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.320
it is not wrong to wish for something.

00:16:29.730 --> 00:16:31.330
Now that I am king,

00:16:32.900 --> 00:16:35.500
if I want anything, I may force them...

00:16:36.010 --> 00:16:37.830
to give it to me.

00:16:41.110 --> 00:16:43.170
Do you agree?

00:16:43.880 --> 00:16:47.640
I do not dare to share my opinion.

00:16:48.390 --> 00:16:51.510
I only follow your decisions.

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.520
However,

00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:59.220
I have seen you since you were a baby.

00:16:59.800 --> 00:17:01.520
I dare to say...

00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:06.390
that is not the kind of man you are.

00:17:08.010 --> 00:17:10.730
That is not the kind
of king you are either.

00:17:14.650 --> 00:17:15.770
Your Majesty.

00:17:16.750 --> 00:17:17.870
Your Majesty.

00:17:20.250 --> 00:17:23.110
I received an urgent message
from Sookchang Palace.

00:17:23.490 --> 00:17:26.510
Wonbin is in a critical condition.

00:17:50.550 --> 00:17:51.670
Your Highness.

00:17:55.320 --> 00:17:57.710
You should not joke
with your older brother.

00:18:01.130 --> 00:18:03.320
Open your eyes and wake up right now.

00:18:06.500 --> 00:18:07.590
Please.

00:18:10.870 --> 00:18:12.830
Hurry and give her medicinal decoction.

00:18:13.370 --> 00:18:14.600
Royal Secretary...

00:18:16.110 --> 00:18:17.370
Her Highness...

00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:21.770
already passed away.

00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:29.620
Did you not hear when I said
you must save Her Highness?

00:18:29.620 --> 00:18:31.850
Hurry and save her, please!

00:18:32.690 --> 00:18:36.490
I do not know why she suddenly died.

00:18:36.490 --> 00:18:37.750
What do you mean she died suddenly?

00:18:38.760 --> 00:18:41.400
Hurry up and do something!

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.440
Right now!

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.770
- Please.
- Royal Secretary.

00:18:45.770 --> 00:18:48.940
Please! Do something!

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:50.200
Hong Duk Ro!

00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.440
What happened to Queen Won?

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:14.620
Your Majesty.

00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:19.260
Queen Won...

00:19:21.710 --> 00:19:23.300
Your queen...

00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:29.600
has passed away.

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:47.190
Your Highness.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.190
Why did you leave me?

00:19:54.210 --> 00:19:56.860
No...

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:06.410
No, wake up!

00:20:10.620 --> 00:20:14.820
It is my fault that I could not
save Queen Won.

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:18.420
I do not deserve your mercy.

00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:22.620
I can not blame everything on you.

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:27.700
I should be blamed for
bringing a precious person...

00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:31.730
and not taking good care of her.

00:20:34.050 --> 00:20:37.440
Send a person to console her mother.

00:20:39.250 --> 00:20:42.880
Ministry of Rites should
discuss the funeral process.

00:20:43.390 --> 00:20:45.980
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty.

00:20:48.630 --> 00:20:51.050
What will happen to
the Royal Secretary then?

00:20:51.360 --> 00:20:53.190
I am not sure either.

00:20:58.100 --> 00:20:59.360
Chief State Councilor.

00:21:02.540 --> 00:21:05.330
The Queen died out of the blue.

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:07.000
Do you not think it is strange?

00:21:11.820 --> 00:21:13.850
His big dream is shattered.

00:21:13.850 --> 00:21:16.580
The Royal Secretary will lose it
and make a commotion.

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:45.140
Master Hong.

00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:48.810
I cannot fathom how sad
and painful it must be.

00:21:51.260 --> 00:21:53.150
His Majesty is worried about you.

00:21:58.900 --> 00:22:02.760
You must cheer up for His Majesty.

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:05.860
No matter how painful it is,

00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.100
you must bury the dead in your heart...

00:22:10.070 --> 00:22:11.600
and forget.

00:22:12.510 --> 00:22:15.270
My sister who was
perfectly healthy was killed.

00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:20.340
How can I forget so easily?

00:22:27.690 --> 00:22:29.080
What are you talking about?

00:22:30.090 --> 00:22:31.450
She was killed?

00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:37.160
Yes.

00:22:40.270 --> 00:22:42.760
My sister was killed.

00:22:54.290 --> 00:22:58.580
Master Hong must be grieving deeply.

00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:00.780
He must be grieving.

00:23:01.530 --> 00:23:04.080
He must have had an ambitious dream
to become the uncle of a prince.

00:23:04.730 --> 00:23:07.350
Kyung Hee, you are bad.

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.830
He lost his sister. He lost his family.

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:14.560
I do not care about your hatred for him.

00:23:15.570 --> 00:23:17.040
But do not be so cold like that.

00:23:17.040 --> 00:23:19.400
Of course, I feel sorry about
what happened to Queen Won.

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:22.400
But I do not even know her well.

00:23:22.910 --> 00:23:26.210
I do not have to feel sad
about every death in the world.

00:23:29.750 --> 00:23:33.380
Master Hong cherished
her sister very much.

00:23:33.990 --> 00:23:37.530
Having someone grieving
with him will comfort him.

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:40.550
Do you think so?

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:45.190
She was too young. I feel bad as well.

00:23:52.290 --> 00:23:53.450
My lady.

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:56.590
- Yes, Sam Wol.
- Here.

00:23:58.360 --> 00:24:00.160
I hope I am not late.

00:24:00.260 --> 00:24:01.960
It is from Lady Bae.

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.700
Kyung Hee?

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:12.410
Meet me at Neungheojeong at midnight.

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.540
Did she say anything else?

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:20.110
No. I will get going now.

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:09.800
What are you talking about?

00:25:10.830 --> 00:25:12.400
Kyung Hee disappeared?

00:25:13.130 --> 00:25:15.200
We are supposed to
meet at Neungheojeong.

00:25:15.470 --> 00:25:17.170
I have been waiting for her
but she has not come.

00:25:17.610 --> 00:25:20.010
She could be somewhere else.

00:25:20.510 --> 00:25:23.580
We searched everywhere and
she is nowhere in the palace.

00:25:24.610 --> 00:25:26.050
What should we do?

00:25:26.210 --> 00:25:28.480
Let us wait for the sun
to come up for now.

00:25:29.350 --> 00:25:32.050
When the morning comes,
I will let Court Lady Seo know.

00:25:39.730 --> 00:25:40.930
So...

00:25:41.830 --> 00:25:44.770
Head Lady Cho's people are still active.

00:25:45.970 --> 00:25:47.630
And their leader...

00:25:48.870 --> 00:25:50.940
- is Hong Duk Ro?
- Your Majesty.

00:25:52.770 --> 00:25:56.110
Cho's information, network, and funds.

00:25:56.610 --> 00:26:00.110
All of them went to Royal Secretary.

00:26:00.950 --> 00:26:03.450
He has been posting people
from influential families,

00:26:03.450 --> 00:26:05.220
in return for money.

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:09.460
He also has been receiving bribes
from interpreters and merchants.

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:13.590
Please forgive me for
overstepping my bounds,

00:26:14.530 --> 00:26:19.030
but you ordered
Royal Secretary to wipe out...

00:26:19.030 --> 00:26:21.670
those who had colluded with Cho.

00:26:22.270 --> 00:26:24.870
However, they still exist.

00:26:25.540 --> 00:26:30.180
And they are now doing
a business with him instead of Cho.

00:26:35.650 --> 00:26:37.650
I understood. You may go for tonight.

00:26:37.650 --> 00:26:40.290
Your Majesty, you cannot let him slide.

00:26:40.290 --> 00:26:42.090
I said you may go for tonight.

00:27:12.950 --> 00:27:15.290
My goodness. Even Kyung Hee is missing?

00:27:15.790 --> 00:27:17.930
What are you talking about?

00:27:18.390 --> 00:27:20.630
Is there another person
missing besides Kyung Hee?

00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:24.300
The lady who served medicinal
decoction to Won is also missing.

00:27:24.430 --> 00:27:25.800
There is more.

00:27:26.670 --> 00:27:30.200
Only court ladies know this.

00:27:30.540 --> 00:27:33.410
Ladies have gone missing
since a few days ago.

00:27:34.340 --> 00:27:36.010
Not only the lady who served
medicinal decoction,

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.350
but six ladies went missing.

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:41.150
All of them are court ladies
of the main palace.

00:28:05.540 --> 00:28:06.640
Have a seat.

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.720
I hear court ladies have gone missing.

00:28:18.450 --> 00:28:21.920
Did you know about this?

00:28:23.090 --> 00:28:24.860
It is my first time hearing about it.

00:28:26.730 --> 00:28:29.260
I think there is no need
to worry about it either.

00:28:30.260 --> 00:28:33.600
Court ladies often commit suicides.

00:28:33.830 --> 00:28:37.370
It happens 3 or 4 times a year.
It is quite common.

00:28:40.010 --> 00:28:42.480
I said they went missing.

00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:46.710
I did not say they were dead.

00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:51.350
You also serve as the Head Palace Guard.

00:28:51.350 --> 00:28:52.550
(Head Palace Guard:
The head of guards in the palace)

00:28:52.550 --> 00:28:54.420
So, you are responsible for this.

00:28:55.890 --> 00:28:58.560
Make sure to find
the missing court ladies.

00:28:59.930 --> 00:29:01.660
I receive your orders, Your Majesty.

00:29:27.250 --> 00:29:30.890
A ghost must have taken Lady Bae.

00:29:31.260 --> 00:29:32.360
What?

00:29:32.860 --> 00:29:34.330
Everyone said that.

00:29:34.630 --> 00:29:37.460
All the missing ladies
are taken by a ghost.

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:38.500
A ghost?

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:40.870
Do not be silly and tell me
about Kyung Hee.

00:29:41.470 --> 00:29:44.500
Sam Wol, you are the last person
to have met Kyung Hee.

00:29:45.610 --> 00:29:47.040
You really do not know anything?

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.610
Really, I know nothing.

00:29:50.010 --> 00:29:52.080
No matter how many times
you visit me, I can not...

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:55.220
Okay. We are sorry to
bother you during your work.

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:56.420
Go back to your work.

00:29:59.850 --> 00:30:01.920
Isn't she acting a little strange?

00:30:02.520 --> 00:30:04.660
She kept saying a ghost...

00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:06.860
and did not answer to what we asked.

00:30:09.030 --> 00:30:12.000
I think she is hiding something.

00:30:13.470 --> 00:30:16.200
Duk Im, you had better go to
the Queen Dowager Palace.

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.370
Queen Dowager called you on purpose.

00:30:18.370 --> 00:30:19.810
You can not be late.

00:30:21.580 --> 00:30:24.280
I feel that a ghost took her.

00:30:25.410 --> 00:30:27.110
Where did Kyung Hee go?

00:30:32.690 --> 00:30:35.490
After returning from the war,
Pyeong Guk was terribly sick.

00:30:35.490 --> 00:30:37.560
He took medicines day and night.

00:30:37.790 --> 00:30:40.660
So, the emperor sent
a noted doctor to him.

00:30:41.330 --> 00:30:43.430
The doctor felt the pulse and said,

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:45.830
"The illness is not serious,"

00:30:45.830 --> 00:30:47.530
"but something was strange."

00:30:47.830 --> 00:30:49.600
Then, the emperor
asked what was strange,

00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:51.670
and the doctor hesitantly said...

00:30:52.270 --> 00:30:53.970
when he felt Pyeong Guk's pulse,

00:30:54.780 --> 00:30:56.740
he noticed that it was
not the pulse of a man.

00:31:00.410 --> 00:31:01.550
So?

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:05.790
Pyeong Guk, a woman dressed
as a man was caught, wasn't she?

00:31:06.090 --> 00:31:07.450
Yes, Your Highness.

00:31:10.260 --> 00:31:11.860
You are just as I heard.

00:31:12.330 --> 00:31:15.460
A common folk tale is fun
when it is read by you.

00:31:16.660 --> 00:31:18.030
I am honored.

00:31:28.410 --> 00:31:31.180
I do not know how much
a story reading gets paid.

00:31:31.180 --> 00:31:32.650
So, I just prepared this.

00:31:33.080 --> 00:31:34.480
Will this be enough?

00:31:35.250 --> 00:31:36.950
This is too much.

00:31:37.280 --> 00:31:38.890
Please take it back.

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:42.360
I borrowed a precious lady of the King.

00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:44.420
I need to treat you right.

00:31:58.040 --> 00:31:59.440
I am sorry, but I can not take this.

00:32:05.550 --> 00:32:08.820
Okay. Have you found
your missing friend?

00:32:11.120 --> 00:32:13.850
I heard court ladies are going missing.

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:18.260
One of them is your friend, I hear.

00:32:18.830 --> 00:32:19.990
Yes.

00:32:22.260 --> 00:32:25.230
It is taking long days to find them.

00:32:25.430 --> 00:32:27.830
What is the King doing about this?

00:32:28.570 --> 00:32:31.370
Is he not interested in this...

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.770
because he thinks less of court ladies?

00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:41.850
If I were him,
I would not take it that easy.

00:32:45.290 --> 00:32:46.390
Don't you think...

00:32:47.320 --> 00:32:49.290
this is strange?

00:32:51.860 --> 00:32:55.030
I believe it will be resolved soon.

00:32:57.260 --> 00:32:59.230
I believe all of them
will come back safely.

00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:02.940
Alright.

00:33:05.140 --> 00:33:07.740
I will get going now.

00:33:08.210 --> 00:33:10.540
Is there anything else
you want me to do?

00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:14.780
Will you transcribe a book for me later?

00:33:14.950 --> 00:33:16.320
Yes, Your Highness.

00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:35.770
There are not many people
who I can talk to easily.

00:33:37.870 --> 00:33:41.610
I would like to have you
closer to my side.

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:46.010
I am sorry, but I am...

00:33:46.010 --> 00:33:47.710
You are the court lady
of the King's Palace.

00:33:58.930 --> 00:34:00.090
Remember this.

00:34:01.060 --> 00:34:03.300
I care for you...

00:34:03.560 --> 00:34:06.800
much more than you think.

00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:11.140
Let me know if you have any trouble.

00:34:11.370 --> 00:34:13.010
I will help you.

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:35.000
What is the King doing about this?

00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:39.000
Is he not interested in this...

00:34:39.630 --> 00:34:41.570
because he thinks less of court ladies?

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:14.130
I thought it was Kyung Hee's.

00:35:20.070 --> 00:35:21.740
What are you doing?

00:35:33.090 --> 00:35:34.320
Your Majesty!

00:35:56.140 --> 00:35:57.280
Have a seat.

00:36:02.220 --> 00:36:05.020
Explain what happened at the pond.

00:36:07.050 --> 00:36:08.520
I told you to explain!

00:36:11.490 --> 00:36:13.260
Please compose yourself, Your Majesty.

00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:18.400
Maid Sung, answer him now.

00:36:18.870 --> 00:36:22.170
You did not go into the pond
to kill yourself, did you?

00:36:23.370 --> 00:36:25.270
My friend went missing.

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:29.680
A court lady of the main palace,
Bae Kyung Hee.

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:33.080
I couldn't just sit by.

00:36:33.450 --> 00:36:36.850
I have been looking for her
whenever I had time.

00:36:38.450 --> 00:36:42.290
The perfume pouch
floating on the water...

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:44.820
I thought it was hers.

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:47.690
I jumped into the water
without realizing it.

00:36:50.130 --> 00:36:51.700
Just in case, she...

00:36:57.300 --> 00:37:02.380
I'm worried that I won't be
able to find her ever again.

00:37:06.550 --> 00:37:08.010
Stop crying.

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:10.620
When you cry,

00:37:11.720 --> 00:37:13.150
I become powerless.

00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.190
Don't make me that kind of King.

00:37:18.660 --> 00:37:22.260
Your friend will definitely come back.

00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:25.330
I promise you.

00:37:28.030 --> 00:37:32.540
Royal Secretary already went out
to search for the missing court ladies.

00:37:33.270 --> 00:37:35.580
I trust him to succeed.

00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:39.210
Am I right?

00:37:41.380 --> 00:37:43.180
Yes, truly, my King.

00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:48.020
Lady Sung, stop crying.

00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:51.860
I am doing my best for the court ladies.

00:37:53.390 --> 00:37:54.660
Trust me...

00:37:55.700 --> 00:37:57.230
and please wait for a while.

00:37:58.300 --> 00:37:59.570
Yes.

00:38:02.770 --> 00:38:04.770
Thank you, Your Majesty.

00:38:10.740 --> 00:38:12.610
You know how to be cunning.

00:38:19.490 --> 00:38:22.890
I did not know you will move
the King's heart with tears.

00:38:25.630 --> 00:38:27.660
Do not be offended.

00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:32.300
I am complimenting your smart move.

00:38:34.030 --> 00:38:37.940
It is the talent only you can do.

00:38:38.370 --> 00:38:41.640
You promised in front of the King...

00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:44.440
to find the missing court ladies.

00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.680
So you must make this right.

00:38:49.750 --> 00:38:53.050
If not, you should be
worried about your safety.

00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:56.590
Is that really true?

00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:00.290
What do you mean?

00:39:00.660 --> 00:39:03.400
Will the King push me away...

00:39:05.570 --> 00:39:07.330
just because I could not
find some court ladies?

00:39:08.670 --> 00:39:10.570
Of course, there will be
some consequences...

00:39:12.110 --> 00:39:14.270
such as cutting my wage,

00:39:14.810 --> 00:39:16.710
or lowering my position.

00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:20.510
That is not much.

00:39:24.180 --> 00:39:26.120
If you have a scale, measure the weight.

00:39:27.490 --> 00:39:30.620
Whether I, Hong Duk Ro,
or the court ladies...

00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.330
is more important to the King.

00:39:51.780 --> 00:39:53.110
Did you call me?

00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:59.450
Court Lady Seo, listen to my words.

00:40:01.350 --> 00:40:03.090
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:40:03.290 --> 00:40:04.960
Keep an eye on Sung Duk Im.

00:40:05.690 --> 00:40:07.660
- Yes?
- Find out where she goes...

00:40:08.130 --> 00:40:09.860
and who she meets.

00:40:10.830 --> 00:40:12.700
If something happens,

00:40:12.700 --> 00:40:14.370
report to Royal Guard.

00:40:14.430 --> 00:40:16.840
I'm sorry,

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:18.910
but please tell me the reason.

00:40:19.210 --> 00:40:21.910
No one likes being followed.

00:40:21.910 --> 00:40:24.080
She will hurt her feelings.

00:40:24.080 --> 00:40:26.410
I do not care of her feelings.

00:40:27.350 --> 00:40:29.180
I just need her to be safe.

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:35.890
Do not forget my order.

00:40:37.990 --> 00:40:40.190
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:40:41.330 --> 00:40:44.200
- You can leave now.
- Yes.

00:40:59.510 --> 00:41:02.150
Go in.

00:41:10.390 --> 00:41:11.590
Welcome.

00:41:12.290 --> 00:41:14.960
I heard it was urgent,
so I came quickly.

00:41:15.260 --> 00:41:17.900
- Please give me an order.
- Head Lady Cho...

00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:20.370
had a secret place.

00:41:20.370 --> 00:41:23.470
Yes, I checked the place before.

00:41:23.600 --> 00:41:25.970
I ordered to burn the place down...

00:41:25.970 --> 00:41:27.640
to Hong Duk Ro.

00:41:28.940 --> 00:41:30.980
I need to check with my own eyes...

00:41:31.710 --> 00:41:33.710
if he followed my orders.

00:41:34.150 --> 00:41:36.280
Yes, Your Majesty. I will guide you.

00:42:06.310 --> 00:42:08.280
It is this way, Your Majesty.

00:42:51.160 --> 00:42:53.330
- Oh, no.
- Please.

00:42:53.630 --> 00:42:57.200
- Oh, gosh.
- Oh, no.

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.100
What's going on?

00:43:02.700 --> 00:43:05.140
- What's happening to us?
- Oh, no.

00:43:05.370 --> 00:43:06.570
- Oh, gosh.
- Oh, no.

00:43:07.040 --> 00:43:08.340
- Oh, no.
- Please.

00:43:28.900 --> 00:43:30.760
Next is Sewing Department.

00:43:32.730 --> 00:43:34.770
- Lady Kim.
- Come out!

00:43:38.740 --> 00:43:40.010
- No!
- Let go of me!

00:43:59.160 --> 00:44:00.930
Keep an eye on the situation...

00:44:01.330 --> 00:44:03.360
so that the captured
court ladies can be safe.

00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:04.600
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:44:30.550 --> 00:44:32.160
You called for me?

00:44:34.260 --> 00:44:35.430
Have a seat.

00:44:55.110 --> 00:44:57.680
It is my first time to
be called to the library.

00:44:58.420 --> 00:44:59.780
I am so glad.

00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:05.020
Seeing you come in
reminds me of the old days.

00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.330
I was mostly locked up at
the East Palace for a long time.

00:45:11.430 --> 00:45:15.800
You were always by my side.

00:45:18.530 --> 00:45:20.170
I still remember.

00:45:21.610 --> 00:45:24.110
Every morning, when the doors
of the East Palace opens up,

00:45:24.550 --> 00:45:26.010
you will enter...

00:45:27.990 --> 00:45:29.710
holding a newspaper.

00:45:31.010 --> 00:45:35.420
You brought me
all the news in the world.

00:45:35.950 --> 00:45:37.920
As always...

00:45:38.970 --> 00:45:40.820
I am still by your side.

00:45:48.630 --> 00:45:51.300
There is something I want
to ask for your opinion.

00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:54.170
Think carefully and answer me.

00:45:55.510 --> 00:45:57.270
It is a very important matter.

00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:08.250
One day, I will free
all the slaves of this country.

00:46:09.820 --> 00:46:12.170
It is the most important goal...

00:46:12.170 --> 00:46:14.090
I want to achieve as the King of Joseon.

00:46:15.570 --> 00:46:17.260
Why do you want to achieve such a goal?

00:46:17.260 --> 00:46:19.130
Joseon is my home.

00:46:20.110 --> 00:46:24.200
So all the people living
in my home are my family.

00:46:27.450 --> 00:46:29.770
I can not stand that I live off of...

00:46:30.650 --> 00:46:33.740
the fat of the land while
my family lives like animals.

00:46:39.030 --> 00:46:42.790
Your Majesty,
please think about the reality.

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:45.920
The slaves have no power.

00:46:46.670 --> 00:46:49.090
What if you miss the hearts
of important people...

00:46:49.090 --> 00:46:52.400
while putting efforts
into useless people?

00:46:55.030 --> 00:46:59.040
You should pay attention
to slave owners, not slaves.

00:46:59.900 --> 00:47:01.840
They are the ones with power.

00:47:02.820 --> 00:47:04.910
They will be useful to you.

00:47:06.180 --> 00:47:07.440
So,

00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:13.580
I should abandon the weak and useless?

00:47:14.950 --> 00:47:16.990
Is that what you think?

00:47:17.550 --> 00:47:21.290
I said I will tell you the facts.

00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.460
Then how about the court maids?

00:47:24.530 --> 00:47:25.570
Pardon?

00:47:25.570 --> 00:47:28.300
Most court maids were
district office slaves.

00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.570
Are they also useless...

00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:33.700
because they come
from humble background?

00:47:33.700 --> 00:47:37.910
They serve the King.
How can they be useless?

00:47:40.090 --> 00:47:41.240
It is just...

00:47:42.380 --> 00:47:43.510
Just?

00:47:44.260 --> 00:47:48.080
That they can be
replaced without a problem.

00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:58.890
I understand.

00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:03.330
So that is what you think.

00:48:05.970 --> 00:48:08.070
I understand you fully now.

00:48:10.010 --> 00:48:11.540
You may leave.

00:48:53.900 --> 00:48:56.990
You suddenly wanted to play Go with me.

00:48:57.240 --> 00:48:58.690
I have to admit I was surprised.

00:48:59.070 --> 00:49:04.200
I am not good at Go or Janggi.

00:49:05.660 --> 00:49:07.460
Since you enjoy it,

00:49:08.230 --> 00:49:10.230
I will learn from now on.

00:49:21.510 --> 00:49:25.480
It has been three years
since I took the throne.

00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.210
After the time of long-suffering,

00:49:28.950 --> 00:49:33.150
I think I have finally
formed the basis a bit.

00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.060
I should thank you for that.

00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:40.600
If you wish,

00:49:41.730 --> 00:49:44.500
I will move Kim Gui Joo
who is exiled in Heuksan Island...

00:49:45.270 --> 00:49:47.060
to Naju.

00:49:48.240 --> 00:49:50.060
My brother?

00:49:50.270 --> 00:49:52.940
One day, he might come back
to the capital city.

00:49:56.110 --> 00:49:59.110
That is an unexpected favor.

00:49:59.750 --> 00:50:02.520
Then what should I do for you in return?

00:50:04.850 --> 00:50:06.210
Play Go with me...

00:50:07.890 --> 00:50:10.060
as you are doing now.

00:50:11.630 --> 00:50:12.920
You are...

00:50:13.660 --> 00:50:18.270
an elder of the royal family
who even I can not treat carelessly.

00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:22.230
Play Go with me,

00:50:23.140 --> 00:50:26.170
and if you wish for anything,
you should tell me right away.

00:50:26.710 --> 00:50:29.040
I will grant it with filial love.

00:50:32.050 --> 00:50:34.040
Then shall I say one now?

00:50:36.620 --> 00:50:39.860
Since your concubine died
without having a son,

00:50:40.090 --> 00:50:42.520
you should marry someone new.

00:50:46.600 --> 00:50:47.860
Sure.

00:50:49.100 --> 00:50:52.790
However, I will choose
whom I will marry this time.

00:50:55.070 --> 00:50:57.540
She is probably not from Noron
as you would want.

00:50:57.540 --> 00:51:01.280
What if I have another idea?

00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:03.810
Then your brother will
not be going to Naju,

00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:06.920
but he will receive
poison in Heuksan Island.

00:51:13.160 --> 00:51:16.250
Is that so? That is actually better.

00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:18.980
It is better to be honest to each other.

00:51:19.500 --> 00:51:22.920
We should have opened our hearts
to each other in the first place.

00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:26.040
Your Majesty.

00:51:27.290 --> 00:51:29.720
The women in the royal family did not...

00:51:29.720 --> 00:51:32.250
marry the royal family on their will.

00:51:33.090 --> 00:51:35.820
The hairpin on their heads
is heavy like a stone.

00:51:36.230 --> 00:51:40.120
And responsibility on
their shoulders is heavier.

00:51:41.930 --> 00:51:43.130
However,

00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.330
you treat us like relatives
that you must be careful of.

00:51:48.610 --> 00:51:50.610
I see you are taking
control of the family...

00:51:50.610 --> 00:51:53.370
before making a decision on something.

00:52:00.190 --> 00:52:02.380
I love playing Go.

00:52:03.720 --> 00:52:05.450
You should visit me more often.

00:52:06.430 --> 00:52:09.550
I will do so, Grandmother.

00:52:20.810 --> 00:52:21.960
Duk Im.

00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:24.770
I am going to see Sam Wol.

00:52:24.910 --> 00:52:26.070
Again?

00:52:26.610 --> 00:52:29.070
She is the only evidence.

00:52:30.420 --> 00:52:34.610
You all noticed she has
been acting strange lately.

00:52:35.620 --> 00:52:38.610
She argues the ghosts took
the court maids who disappeared.

00:52:38.790 --> 00:52:41.520
She keeps talking nonsense,
so everyone avoids her.

00:52:42.930 --> 00:52:44.990
I think she is doing that on purpose.

00:52:47.330 --> 00:52:48.420
I will be back soon.

00:52:59.450 --> 00:53:01.300
Duk Im. We will go with you.

00:53:02.850 --> 00:53:05.340
- You are on duty tomorrow.
- Duk Im.

00:53:05.890 --> 00:53:09.080
Kyung Hee means a lot to me,
but so do you.

00:53:09.560 --> 00:53:13.250
Yes. What if something
happens to you too?

00:53:16.530 --> 00:53:17.690
We will go with you.

00:53:39.050 --> 00:53:40.480
Did you say she is here?

00:53:41.490 --> 00:53:42.650
Yes.

00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:55.930
I am scared.

00:53:56.640 --> 00:53:57.760
Sam Wol.

00:54:01.110 --> 00:54:02.460
Sam Wol.

00:54:05.610 --> 00:54:06.870
Sam Wol.

00:54:08.410 --> 00:54:09.510
Sam Wol.

00:54:18.190 --> 00:54:19.350
Put her down.

00:54:20.290 --> 00:54:21.480
Hurry.

00:54:21.530 --> 00:54:22.820
- Put her down.
- Yes.

00:54:25.430 --> 00:54:26.560
Sam Wol.

00:54:32.940 --> 00:54:34.060
Sam Wol.

00:54:45.780 --> 00:54:47.940
Do you feel like talking now?

00:54:50.290 --> 00:54:53.380
What on earth happened?

00:55:04.870 --> 00:55:05.970
It is poison.

00:55:08.010 --> 00:55:09.870
Royal Secretary ordered me...

00:55:10.240 --> 00:55:13.040
to plant it in Queen Kim's palace.

00:55:16.750 --> 00:55:18.610
So it will be evidence...

00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:24.910
to frame that she killed Queen Wonbin.

00:55:27.030 --> 00:55:28.150
Is that...

00:55:29.600 --> 00:55:31.620
why you tried to die?

00:55:32.030 --> 00:55:34.690
It is high treason to slander Queen Kim.

00:55:39.370 --> 00:55:42.000
If I get caught,
it is not just me who gets killed.

00:55:44.680 --> 00:55:47.400
All my family will die as well.

00:55:52.620 --> 00:55:56.110
I would rather die alone.

00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:04.590
Royal Secretary took
the missing court maids, right?

00:56:06.570 --> 00:56:09.690
So where did he detain them?

00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:11.430
I do not know either.

00:56:12.200 --> 00:56:13.530
I am telling the truth.

00:56:28.820 --> 00:56:32.180
How on earth could he
take the court maids secretly?

00:56:32.690 --> 00:56:34.680
Definitely not through
the gates of the palace.

00:56:35.090 --> 00:56:36.850
Everyone has been
keeping an eye on them.

00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:39.020
Then what is it?

00:56:39.700 --> 00:56:42.090
Is there a secret passage in the palace?

00:56:44.270 --> 00:56:47.100
What should we do now?

00:56:50.510 --> 00:56:51.670
Girls.

00:56:52.040 --> 00:56:55.440
A secret place that nobody knows
came to my mind.

00:56:56.350 --> 00:56:59.680
The court maids
who disappeared must be there.

00:57:00.350 --> 00:57:01.750
Where is it?

00:57:01.750 --> 00:57:04.880
I cannot say it.
I cannot put you in danger.

00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:11.550
(Tale of Hong Gye Wol)

00:57:11.730 --> 00:57:14.090
This is the book the Queen Dowager
told me to transcript.

00:57:14.500 --> 00:57:16.660
I will search for Kyung Hee now.

00:57:17.370 --> 00:57:19.660
If I do not return by noon tomorrow,

00:57:19.940 --> 00:57:23.080
you should give this book to
the Queen Dowager for me.

00:57:23.080 --> 00:57:26.510
Hey, this book is not important
in a situation like this.

00:57:26.510 --> 00:57:27.670
It is important.

00:57:28.010 --> 00:57:29.680
Because it will be
the only way for you...

00:57:29.680 --> 00:57:31.270
to meet the Queen Dowager.

00:57:32.150 --> 00:57:33.710
I will write a letter.

00:57:34.090 --> 00:57:36.620
I will write all the truth
about the court maids...

00:57:36.620 --> 00:57:38.450
who disappeared and
about the Royal Secretary.

00:57:39.860 --> 00:57:42.780
I will put it in this book.

00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:45.050
If I do not come back,

00:57:45.460 --> 00:57:47.290
give this book to the Queen Dowager.

00:57:48.170 --> 00:57:50.960
No. You work at the King's Palace.

00:57:51.340 --> 00:57:53.140
If you drag the Queen Dowager
into this carelessly,

00:57:53.140 --> 00:57:55.160
you might upset the King.

00:57:55.510 --> 00:57:58.740
For telling the Queen Dowager
without telling him.

00:57:58.740 --> 00:58:02.170
Right. Let us go to the King
and tell him before it is too late.

00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:03.770
I cannot trust him.

00:58:05.120 --> 00:58:07.780
Girls, he is the King.

00:58:08.020 --> 00:58:09.480
He always calculates.

00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:12.450
When he has done calculating,

00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:15.630
if he chooses to save the Royal Secretary
instead of court maids,

00:58:15.630 --> 00:58:16.890
what will happen?

00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:19.360
I am different from him.

00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:21.720
I cannot weigh people's lives.

00:58:22.470 --> 00:58:24.230
Kyung Hee is the most
important person to me.

00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:26.960
If it is to save her,
I will do anything.

00:58:27.140 --> 00:58:29.360
So you will drag
the Queen Dowager into this?

00:58:30.080 --> 00:58:34.200
Among those whom I can ask for help,
she is the most powerful.

00:58:35.050 --> 00:58:38.220
Duk Im, it might not work as you think.

00:58:38.220 --> 00:58:42.190
You might end up
losing your life for nothing.

00:58:42.190 --> 00:58:43.310
I know.

00:58:44.590 --> 00:58:47.780
But this is the best thing
I can do for Kyung Hee.

00:59:00.170 --> 00:59:02.700
The four of us should
always stay together.

00:59:03.740 --> 00:59:06.370
Wait for me. I will go...

00:59:07.410 --> 00:59:09.540
find the missing one.

00:59:13.990 --> 00:59:16.750
You must come back safely.

00:59:21.590 --> 00:59:22.920
I will wait for you.

01:00:56.690 --> 01:00:58.450
- Take her.
- Yes, sir.

01:01:13.510 --> 01:01:15.760
Come here, Lady Sung.

01:01:24.350 --> 01:01:26.310
You managed to find this place.

01:01:32.160 --> 01:01:34.980
Do you think you can get off
scot-free after doing this?

01:01:36.060 --> 01:01:38.500
Are you not afraid that the King
might find out about this?

01:01:38.500 --> 01:01:41.860
Why did you come to me
before telling His Majesty?

01:01:49.710 --> 01:01:51.970
You do not trust him.

01:01:55.380 --> 01:01:57.340
Whether telling the King about this...

01:01:58.250 --> 01:02:00.940
will save your friend...

01:02:02.620 --> 01:02:04.250
or kill her,

01:02:06.260 --> 01:02:08.050
you were not sure.

01:02:10.130 --> 01:02:12.190
That is why you came here first.

01:02:15.300 --> 01:02:17.060
You are fearless.

01:02:18.040 --> 01:02:22.060
Is your arrogance derived
from the King's favor?

01:02:22.270 --> 01:02:25.300
Is it not you who became arrogant
as you received the royal favor?

01:02:26.180 --> 01:02:29.350
Did you think everything
would work out as you want?

01:02:29.350 --> 01:02:33.240
If things work out as I want,
Queen Won should be alive.

01:02:33.720 --> 01:02:37.380
She should give birth to the
King's first prince and smile happily.

01:02:38.890 --> 01:02:40.320
A happy smile.

01:02:41.490 --> 01:02:43.390
That is what she has to show me.

01:02:45.730 --> 01:02:48.990
Do you believe she was happy
after she became a queen?

01:02:50.770 --> 01:02:54.130
If she did not become a queen,
she would have been alive.

01:02:58.180 --> 01:03:00.200
Are you saying
my sister's death is my fault?

01:03:01.610 --> 01:03:02.740
No!

01:03:03.720 --> 01:03:05.310
My sister was murdered.

01:03:05.720 --> 01:03:08.780
Why would have she died suddenly
if it were not the case?

01:03:09.020 --> 01:03:11.050
The Queen killed her.

01:03:11.660 --> 01:03:13.130
She called her to cane her...

01:03:13.130 --> 01:03:14.620
and ended up killing her
by making her suffer.

01:03:17.860 --> 01:03:19.090
Lady Sung.

01:03:20.330 --> 01:03:22.560
Do you know those disgusting things
that happen to concubines?

01:03:24.740 --> 01:03:26.360
Do you have proof?

01:03:27.270 --> 01:03:29.440
If you slander the Queen
without evidence...

01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:31.770
Unfortunately, I could not find one.

01:03:33.080 --> 01:03:34.740
But I am not worried.

01:03:35.580 --> 01:03:37.770
If there is no proof,
I can just make one.

01:03:43.490 --> 01:03:45.350
You could help me as well.

01:03:48.160 --> 01:03:49.280
Follow me.

01:03:59.100 --> 01:04:00.460
- Please.
- Write it.

01:04:07.380 --> 01:04:09.400
The medical nurse cannot do her job.

01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:13.070
You should write for her.

01:04:18.590 --> 01:04:19.710
Now,

01:04:20.560 --> 01:04:22.580
make proof for me.

01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:27.260
Do not worry about
the content. I will tell you.

01:04:29.230 --> 01:04:31.760
"After Queen Kim poisoned Queen Won,"

01:04:33.040 --> 01:04:35.930
"she bribed royal physicians to
make the cause of her death."

01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:40.070
- Write it down.
- You are not in your right mind.

01:04:40.680 --> 01:04:42.080
If you are caught...

01:04:42.080 --> 01:04:44.110
You will die with me.

01:04:47.450 --> 01:04:49.380
When you are forced
to write something...

01:04:50.590 --> 01:04:51.890
that slanders the queen of the country,

01:04:51.890 --> 01:04:54.220
you should rather bite
your tongue and die.

01:04:57.430 --> 01:04:59.120
Do not blame me.

01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:02.590
That is how the national law works.

01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:08.800
It is especially crucial
for lowly court maids.

01:05:15.450 --> 01:05:16.540
Why?

01:05:17.550 --> 01:05:19.610
Do you not want to
hear that you are lowly?

01:05:22.250 --> 01:05:23.980
All court maids...

01:05:25.790 --> 01:05:27.820
were government slaves anyway.

01:05:38.940 --> 01:05:40.360
Write it down quickly!

01:05:40.640 --> 01:05:42.330
Let go of her hand right now!

01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:53.320
Arrest all the Palace Guards.

01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:54.440
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!

01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:20.270
Your Majesty, I can explain.

01:06:22.110 --> 01:06:24.140
- I can explain.
- Take him out.

01:06:24.580 --> 01:06:25.740
Yes, Your Majesty.

01:06:26.350 --> 01:06:27.540
Get up.

01:06:41.100 --> 01:06:42.220
Duk Im.

01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:46.930
Kyung Hee.

01:06:49.040 --> 01:06:51.130
(Tale of Hong Gye Wol)

01:06:54.050 --> 01:06:55.270
Take this with you.

01:07:23.210 --> 01:07:25.470
I know you are mad at me.

01:07:26.180 --> 01:07:29.600
But, I lost my sister, Your Majesty.

01:07:29.980 --> 01:07:32.250
I had a solid reason for doing this.

01:07:32.250 --> 01:07:35.910
You made fake evidence
and defamed Queen Kim.

01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:40.750
Is that because of the solid reason
you had, Royal Secretary Hong?

01:07:42.160 --> 01:07:45.350
Your Majesty, you do not
need to listen to him anymore.

01:07:45.700 --> 01:07:48.160
Look at the horrible thing
Royal Secretary Hong has done.

01:07:48.930 --> 01:07:50.330
Royal Secretary Hong.

01:07:50.670 --> 01:07:54.100
His Majesty knew all of your misdeeds.

01:07:54.770 --> 01:07:56.400
Even though he knew,

01:07:56.910 --> 01:07:59.070
he was waiting for you to confess.

01:08:00.010 --> 01:08:03.710
"Let us give him
a chance one last time."

01:08:04.550 --> 01:08:06.170
He said that.

01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:11.150
What are you waiting for?

01:08:11.720 --> 01:08:14.380
You need to tell His Majesty
what he has done wrong.

01:08:15.690 --> 01:08:17.490
What makes you hesitate?

01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:21.220
You must have wanted this day to come.

01:08:23.230 --> 01:08:25.390
Tell all the bad things about me.

01:08:26.040 --> 01:08:27.300
Hong Duk Ro.

01:08:28.810 --> 01:08:30.900
I've always disliked you.

01:08:32.110 --> 01:08:35.000
But I thought of you as
my friend of Dongdukhoe.

01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:39.310
I cannot run for the official
since I am a son-in-law of the king.

01:08:40.650 --> 01:08:41.810
Back in the days,

01:08:43.290 --> 01:08:47.420
when I worked for His Majesty
with you in Dongdukhoe,

01:08:48.230 --> 01:08:52.320
those days were
the proudest days of my life.

01:08:54.130 --> 01:08:56.290
Saying that we should kill you,
the one I spent those days with,

01:08:57.170 --> 01:09:00.430
kills me inside, to be honest.

01:09:01.570 --> 01:09:02.730
What...

01:09:04.740 --> 01:09:06.480
What led you to this?

01:09:06.480 --> 01:09:07.640
Your Majesty.

01:09:08.250 --> 01:09:10.280
There are many officials who hate me...

01:09:10.280 --> 01:09:13.410
just because I was promoted
to the superior position.

01:09:13.820 --> 01:09:15.040
However, Your Majesty,

01:09:15.590 --> 01:09:18.780
I don't care if the world hates me.

01:09:19.160 --> 01:09:21.950
I only need you to trust me,
Your Majesty.

01:09:23.730 --> 01:09:25.850
Everyone makes a mistake at least once.

01:09:27.070 --> 01:09:28.190
A mistake?

01:09:31.470 --> 01:09:33.800
You did not make a mistake.

01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:39.000
You knew it was wrong.

01:09:39.710 --> 01:09:41.600
But you had no problem doing it.

01:09:44.150 --> 01:09:47.540
You were sure that you will be
forgiven for whatever you do.

01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:56.080
I forgave you for many
of your wrongdoings.

01:09:58.300 --> 01:10:00.360
Do you know why I did that?

01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:05.530
Because I felt sorry.

01:10:08.440 --> 01:10:10.200
For a long time,

01:10:11.780 --> 01:10:14.040
I knew the day like this would come.

01:10:16.780 --> 01:10:20.810
I was certain that you will
threaten my government...

01:10:22.090 --> 01:10:24.380
and my country.

01:10:25.390 --> 01:10:27.020
So, when it is the time,

01:10:31.530 --> 01:10:33.590
I know that I have to get rid of you.

01:10:38.270 --> 01:10:39.430
What...

01:10:40.810 --> 01:10:42.670
do you mean by that?

01:10:42.670 --> 01:10:45.130
I already knew the time has come.

01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:48.740
Even though I knew,
I kept postponing the decision.

01:10:49.550 --> 01:10:51.370
And we are here today.

01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:57.250
How dare you to defame the Queen...

01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:00.420
and confine my people?

01:11:02.060 --> 01:11:05.650
While I was being hesitant
because of my personal feelings,

01:11:07.270 --> 01:11:09.520
all of these happened.

01:11:14.510 --> 01:11:15.600
I didn't...

01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:20.270
want to kill you with my own hand.

01:11:27.450 --> 01:11:28.780
Now, you are...

01:11:30.290 --> 01:11:33.010
the enemy that I watch out the most,

01:11:33.590 --> 01:11:36.150
and the traitor I hate from
the bottom of my heart.

01:11:41.670 --> 01:11:42.760
Tell me.

01:11:45.270 --> 01:11:46.430
Do you think...

01:11:47.670 --> 01:11:49.800
I will let you go now?

01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:53.740
Have you forgiven me all this time...

01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:00.010
to kill me in the end?

01:12:02.750 --> 01:12:04.710
Just like you build a high tower...

01:12:07.260 --> 01:12:09.350
to break it at once.

01:12:16.430 --> 01:12:19.690
Your Majesty, are you mad at me?

01:12:19.870 --> 01:12:22.230
Are you trying to scare me
because you are mad?

01:12:23.110 --> 01:12:26.070
I am sorry. I was wrong.

01:12:29.480 --> 01:12:33.040
You are saying this because
you are mad at me now.

01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:36.510
As time goes by,
the anger will melt away.

01:12:37.220 --> 01:12:40.650
Your Majesty, you know me.

01:12:41.490 --> 01:12:44.320
I am Hong Duk Ro,
who worked for you my entire life.

01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:48.560
We promised!

01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:51.990
The day I saved your life,

01:12:53.040 --> 01:12:54.560
as promised,

01:12:56.310 --> 01:12:58.470
I've always been by your side.

01:12:59.180 --> 01:13:01.740
I already forgave you as much as I can.

01:13:10.660 --> 01:13:13.650
Now, it's time to pay all at once.

01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:16.150
The price!

01:13:19.130 --> 01:13:20.890
Is your life.

01:13:23.770 --> 01:13:28.100
You never realize
you are wrong on your own.

01:13:29.170 --> 01:13:31.900
You don't even know what you did wrong.

01:13:33.280 --> 01:13:36.600
You will never be my person.

01:13:37.880 --> 01:13:40.880
No matter how long I waited!

01:13:50.630 --> 01:13:51.720
I was not...

01:13:56.630 --> 01:13:59.090
your person, Your Majesty?

01:14:02.470 --> 01:14:03.800
Not even once,

01:14:11.080 --> 01:14:13.570
I was not your person?

01:14:15.350 --> 01:14:17.040
Not once,

01:14:20.060 --> 01:14:21.680
you were not my person.

01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:43.800
Then,

01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:48.410
kill me.

01:14:51.790 --> 01:14:53.610
When I lost my sister,

01:14:58.660 --> 01:15:02.060
I thought I had no hope for living.

01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:06.730
But that was not true.

01:15:13.710 --> 01:15:15.200
Your Majesty,

01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:20.980
you were my purpose,

01:15:23.860 --> 01:15:25.980
and hope for living.

01:15:30.730 --> 01:15:32.450
Please kill me.

01:15:37.240 --> 01:15:41.560
I have lost everything now.

01:15:47.750 --> 01:15:50.940
Your Majesty.
Please do not kill the Royal Secretary.

01:15:51.950 --> 01:15:55.110
Please spare his life.

01:15:55.620 --> 01:15:56.740
I...

01:15:57.290 --> 01:15:59.290
I am begging you.

01:15:59.290 --> 01:16:01.820
Whose subject are you?

01:16:03.160 --> 01:16:05.220
How dare you interfere...

01:16:05.830 --> 01:16:07.320
when I am trying to
decide his punishment?

01:16:07.900 --> 01:16:09.020
Pardon me.

01:16:10.170 --> 01:16:11.590
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:14.130
You always said...

01:16:16.810 --> 01:16:19.930
you do not think.

01:16:20.650 --> 01:16:22.840
You just obey my order.

01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:28.410
I do not think.

01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:31.280
I just obey your order.

01:16:32.120 --> 01:16:33.210
However,

01:16:35.230 --> 01:16:36.480
I dare to say...

01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:38.920
you want...

01:16:39.330 --> 01:16:43.360
someone to step out and
save the Royal Secretary.

01:16:45.070 --> 01:16:46.190
That is why...

01:16:47.470 --> 01:16:49.200
I stepped out.

01:16:50.340 --> 01:16:51.570
Am I wrong?

01:16:53.240 --> 01:16:56.100
Am I wrong about that?

01:16:56.650 --> 01:16:57.970
I...

01:17:13.100 --> 01:17:14.260
Look.

01:17:15.270 --> 01:17:18.390
Do you not understand
what His Majesty wants?

01:17:55.340 --> 01:17:56.560
Last night,

01:17:57.580 --> 01:18:00.900
Royal Secretary Hong wished to resign.

01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:07.310
I will comfort him by
entitling him as baron...

01:18:08.250 --> 01:18:09.580
and accept...

01:18:10.790 --> 01:18:12.310
his resignation.

01:18:51.830 --> 01:18:54.320
- Kyung Hee.
- Kyung Hee.

01:19:00.470 --> 01:19:01.600
You fool.

01:19:01.870 --> 01:19:03.830
You just woke up.

01:19:04.340 --> 01:19:06.730
I am talking to you, Sung Duk Im.

01:19:08.010 --> 01:19:10.000
It was thoughtless of you to spring out.

01:19:11.580 --> 01:19:14.240
If His Majesty did not appear on time,

01:19:15.990 --> 01:19:17.910
you could have been in danger too.

01:19:20.730 --> 01:19:22.280
Did you do that for me?

01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:24.690
Yes.

01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:28.320
- So are you mad?
- No.

01:19:30.030 --> 01:19:31.230
I was happy.

01:19:33.970 --> 01:19:37.360
Hey. How did you get taken?

01:19:37.680 --> 01:19:39.270
I happened to witness...

01:19:40.040 --> 01:19:43.000
the Palace Guards
capturing Queen Kim's maids.

01:19:44.180 --> 01:19:46.510
I thought they did not know I saw it.

01:19:47.590 --> 01:19:51.650
So I sent Duk Im
a message to talk about it.

01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.030
Sam Wol was working for Royal Secretary.

01:19:55.030 --> 01:19:56.720
I knew she was strange...

01:19:57.860 --> 01:19:59.050
Lie down.

01:20:03.370 --> 01:20:06.130
Hey. You should rest.

01:20:06.740 --> 01:20:09.130
We are on night duty today.

01:20:10.310 --> 01:20:13.470
We will come back in the morning.
You should get some sleep.

01:20:13.910 --> 01:20:15.000
Yes.

01:20:24.460 --> 01:20:26.910
Duk Im. I am really sorry.

01:20:27.120 --> 01:20:29.090
I lost the book you told me to keep.

01:20:29.090 --> 01:20:30.680
It is not Young Hee's fault.

01:20:31.030 --> 01:20:33.400
She went to the restroom at night,

01:20:33.400 --> 01:20:35.120
and it was gone.

01:20:36.230 --> 01:20:37.360
Yes.

01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:40.700
Who could have sneaked in at night...

01:20:40.700 --> 01:20:42.330
and took the book?

01:20:53.480 --> 01:20:54.610
Duk Im.

01:20:55.790 --> 01:20:58.810
His Majesty wants to see you.

01:21:27.320 --> 01:21:30.080
- Are you going to explain?
- No, Your Majesty.

01:21:30.620 --> 01:21:32.420
Are you going to beg me
for my forgiveness?

01:21:32.420 --> 01:21:34.080
I do not dare to do that.

01:21:42.900 --> 01:21:45.230
You do not think you were wrong.

01:21:46.370 --> 01:21:49.130
You knew it all along
from the beginning.

01:21:50.470 --> 01:21:51.630
Yes.

01:21:54.310 --> 01:21:56.300
I took everything under control...

01:21:57.150 --> 01:21:58.970
and expected the conclusion.

01:22:00.750 --> 01:22:02.290
Until you arrogantly interfered...

01:22:02.290 --> 01:22:05.010
and tried to drag
the Queen Dowager into it.

01:22:08.430 --> 01:22:09.850
Duk Ro is my subject.

01:22:11.060 --> 01:22:13.450
No matter how high he holds his head,

01:22:13.630 --> 01:22:15.360
I can always take care of it
in my own way.

01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:17.260
However, the Queen Dowager
is a different story.

01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:19.800
She is the only person who can stand...

01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:22.060
against the king in this country.

01:22:24.310 --> 01:22:26.940
If she had found out...

01:22:26.940 --> 01:22:28.840
The Royal Secretary would have to die.

01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:33.340
No matter how much you defend him,
there would not have been a way.

01:22:34.050 --> 01:22:36.440
Like the time you had
to kill your own brother,

01:22:36.950 --> 01:22:38.390
you would have had to kill him.

01:22:38.390 --> 01:22:40.610
This is not some
kind of children's play.

01:22:44.300 --> 01:22:47.760
This is about the court.
This is about the country!

01:22:48.900 --> 01:22:51.990
Not even the smallest thing
should stray from my plan.

01:22:52.940 --> 01:22:54.090
However, you...

01:22:56.040 --> 01:22:58.210
You dared to ruin my work.

01:22:58.210 --> 01:23:00.530
It was not children's
play for me either.

01:23:00.710 --> 01:23:02.810
I knew it would make you angry,

01:23:02.810 --> 01:23:04.970
but I stepped out to save my friend.

01:23:05.120 --> 01:23:07.470
So I dared to drag
the Queen Dowager into it.

01:23:08.490 --> 01:23:12.150
That is how much it mattered to me.
More than my own life.

01:23:14.290 --> 01:23:17.460
You came up with a plan,
calculated and governed...

01:23:17.460 --> 01:23:19.650
with an understanding
of all the circumstances.

01:23:20.100 --> 01:23:23.590
While you were doing that,
my friend could have died.

01:23:24.130 --> 01:23:26.560
Is it okay for a mere court maid to die?

01:23:27.170 --> 01:23:28.740
Is it okay for a mere
court maid to die...

01:23:28.740 --> 01:23:30.430
who spent all her life
working for the palace?

01:23:30.710 --> 01:23:34.710
When it was time,
I planned to save everyone.

01:23:34.710 --> 01:23:37.470
What if someone dies...

01:23:37.720 --> 01:23:39.740
before the time you chose?

01:23:39.850 --> 01:23:42.140
Is it an inevitable sacrifice?

01:23:44.790 --> 01:23:46.010
Did you know...

01:23:46.690 --> 01:23:49.330
I was afraid of losing my friend...

01:23:49.330 --> 01:23:51.850
that I searched around
the well every night?

01:23:52.400 --> 01:23:53.700
I went crazy after
seeing a perfume pouch...

01:23:53.700 --> 01:23:55.590
and jumped into a pond.

01:23:56.600 --> 01:23:59.960
I was afraid of every day,
of every moment.

01:24:02.270 --> 01:24:04.530
I promised you...

01:24:06.340 --> 01:24:08.180
that I will save your friend.

01:24:08.180 --> 01:24:10.970
I was so happy about your promise
that I cried in secret.

01:24:11.150 --> 01:24:12.410
However, the truth is...

01:24:13.120 --> 01:24:16.310
you knew what was going on,
and yet lied to me.

01:24:16.790 --> 01:24:19.710
Because it is easy for you
to deceive a mere court maid.

01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:22.490
However, I do not want
to be deceived anymore.

01:24:22.490 --> 01:24:23.990
I cannot take it anymore.

01:24:23.990 --> 01:24:25.450
You are only a court maid!

01:24:29.170 --> 01:24:31.160
How arrogant...

01:24:32.870 --> 01:24:34.290
and rude.

01:24:34.540 --> 01:24:36.900
Yes, I am aware of that.

01:24:37.440 --> 01:24:38.900
So you should punish me.

01:24:39.210 --> 01:24:42.070
I am just a mere court maid.

01:24:42.180 --> 01:24:44.710
If you do not like me,
you can just kill me.

01:25:08.270 --> 01:25:09.960
I loved you.

01:25:12.710 --> 01:25:15.070
I asked you to be my family.

01:25:17.410 --> 01:25:18.540
You were...

01:25:19.950 --> 01:25:23.040
the only person to hear that.

01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:27.310
The only woman I ever loved...

01:25:28.560 --> 01:25:30.350
since I was born...

01:25:32.900 --> 01:25:34.190
is you.

01:25:43.370 --> 01:25:45.900
I have never loved you.

01:25:46.510 --> 01:25:49.140
You were never a man to me.

01:25:50.610 --> 01:25:52.170
And you...

01:25:53.020 --> 01:25:55.040
never will be.
