My Princess
Episode 12
Please say that again.
What did you just say?
I asked you if you planned this.
If you planned this monstrous situation...
Your scheme will not work.
You are exactly like your father.
Hae Young.
Hae Young!
There is no reason to go after him.
Merciless kid...
Episode 12
Seol being accepted as the princess,
is up to the Daehan Group and Chairman Park Dong Jae.
So what?
Are you saying they could be wrong?
The owner of the sachet is Seol's older sister?
Lee Dan...
Could she really be the princess?
Right now,
do you think this fight is between Lee Dan and Lee Seol?
Whether Lee Dan is the real princess or not...
Whether the sachet belongs to Lee Dan or Lee Seol...
None of those is important.
The most important thing is the Imperial Family is shaken.
What I want to do is throw ash on the Imperial Family's dignity.
To wreak havoc on the legitimacy of the Imperial Family...
Why would you want to? For what reason?
What do you want to gain from doing all this?
Regretfully, there is nothing I can gain. Absolutely nothing...
Daehan Group...
All the hard work I put into Daehan Group...
Park Hae Young...
And Nam Jung Woo...
So as I cause all this commotion,
I am hoping for a miracle.
Before the citizens vote,
Chairman Park Dong Jae collapsing, that kind of miracle.
Stop this.
Stop this, Yun Ju.
If you stop now...
If you quit now...
I know.
But...
I don't want to.
Did you see the news?
Do you think Princess Lee Seol is a fake?
Can't you tell by just looking at her?
If she is the princess, she should have had the sachet.
Does it make sense that it was in someone else's hands?
Why does she get embroiled in everything?
She'll go out without approval for any little thing.
She is a fox.
The way she ties her hair is always different too.
I tried it, but it didn't look good on me.
- How annoying... - You are so funny.
Hey, shut those mouths.
You guys have eaten too much lettuce wraps.
Did we say anything wrong?
Whether those words are wrong or not, let's determine after a beating.
- You, come here! - Hey.
Let's have a talk.
Before, what were you saying?
Are you curious?
What were you saying?
My father and I, why were we always hiding?
and what does that have to do with Park Hae Young?
What were you saying?!
Are you scared?
Are you worried? About what?
If you are the real princess, then all you have to do is prove it.
I am not asking about that right now.
What were you talking about regarding Park Hae Young?
I will tell you.
Don't go home.
For a while you need to stay at a place I have arranged for you.
There is someone outside who will take you there.
Do you want to hear it sitting down or standing up?
The thing you are so curious about...
I am going to tell you everything.
You are exactly like your father.
Your father is a disgrace to history.
If you were going to act like this, I should have told you
about your father earlier.
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
He made the father and daughter hide all their lives,
eventually leading to the father's death.
But the daughter who falls in love with his son was the future princess.
The story is so sad.
How are you going to handle this if you're trembling already?
I'm just now getting to the main point.
Today's news was was about the sachet.
The next headlines will be about Hae Young oppa's father.
Then Hae Young oppa...
Do you think he can live in Korea?
As a government official?
You are going to ruin Park Hae Young's future,
so you can become the Princess.
Do you really have to do all that?
The answer is simple.
Leave the palace.
Tell the chairman you'd die rather die than become the Princess, then run away.
Then, I will bury everything for you.
What do you want to do?
What were you talking about?
Words to comfort her...
The fact that the sachet isn't hers...
I think it upset her.
Look at me.
Trust me.
Trust me and tell me everything you heard.
That is how I can protect you.
Do you understand?
So, tell me.
Oppa, is right.
Tell him, Your Highness.
Look at me.
Look at me straight.
If you're going to listen, listen to me.
What did Yu Ju just say?
Huh?
I am sorry.
I am sort of out of my mind.
Because of the sachet, I am very stunned and upset.
Thank you for worrying.
It was a lot of comfort.
I am genuinely thankful.
It was nothing.
Then you should rest, Your Highness.
You are lying right now.
Something did happen, huh?
Of course... something did.
My sachet... my sister has it.
I was stunned.
But Executive Director said something isn't right and she'll look into it.
I don't have the strength to stand.
I want to lay down for a little.
Lee Seol.
There's something I have to say to you.
I should have told you before,
but...
I...
I already know.
You know?
It is because of what my sister said, right?
I don't believe in things like that.
My sister has always loved fiction writing.
So, Mr. P...
You shouldn't believe it either, okay?
Okay.
You should rest.
[How about holding the press conference in the parking lot, Princess]
[ I'm reporting that I've carried out your first order perfectly. ]
[Deputy Director of the Foreign Ministry, Imperial Family Division, Park Hae Young]
It... doesn't seem like you slept very well.
How heartbreaking.
Have you organized your thoughts?
The day is so full of life.
It is such a beautiful day to run away.
Executive Director, you are such a bad person,
worse than imaginable.
You place before me two people
who are incredibly precious to me knowing I'd have no choice...
So, are you going to leave or not?
I'm leaving.
You've made a commendable decision.
Don't be sarcastic.
My leaving now doesn't mean I won't be princess.
It doesn't mean I'm running away, either.
I... am going to come back.
Without doubt...
And then,
you are dead.
"Without doubt," how are you going to come back?
I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
You cannot
make any attempt to return.
You can never come back, not even when you're dead.
The second you step back into this palace,
everyone in the world will know about Hae Young oppa's father.
If you want to see Park Hae Young, the person you love to death,
fall flat on his face after the world points at him and badmouths him, then return.
Your becoming a princess...
Do you not see how many lives are getting ruined by it?
You...
create instability for all of us.
In Hae Young oppa's life, my life,
Hae Young oppa's father's life...
You need to vanish.
Just you.
[Park Tae Jun New York Address]
Sorry, I missed your call.
Please leave your message and number.
I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Hello, this is Hae Young.
How are you doing?
I received the baseball.
It was a present that I needed when I was 13.
I heard that you were in New York.
There is something I wanted to ask you.
It is really important.
So when you get this message,
please give me a return call.
Father...
You cannot
make any attempt to return.
You can never come back, not even when you're dead.
Did you get any sleep?
When did I ever say, "Yes, you may come in?"
Why are you just barging in?
Then next time you come into my room, you can barge in.
Oh, yeah. The picture...
that you got from the couple at the ocean...
The picture of you with your father...
What about that picture?
I want to reveal it
as evidence you are the biological daughter of the Emperor's grandson Lee Han.
- You want to reveal it? - Yeah.
We need to.
So the sachet will be just a sachet. And you will remain as the real princess.
Then, what about my sister? What will happen to my sister?
You shouldn't be worrying about her.
We need to stop the reporters before this gets any bigger.
Give me the picture. I will take care of the rest.
I don't think the picture alone will be enough.
They will say it is cropped together and the situation will get bigger.
They will even talk about getting a paternity test.
If we say that is impossible because he has passed away,
then they will say let's dig up his grave.
If we reveal one thing, there will be no end.
Then we will fight to the end.
Of course, I understand how you feel. But...
Fine.
I will think about it.
But today, I want to just rest without any lingering thoughts.
My body and my heart are drained.
Okay. Then let's talk tomorrow.
I actually have to go out and meet someone.
Rest up.
Wait a second.
Do you really believe that I am the princess?
Yes, I believe.
Even if the entire world says you aren't,
you are the one who stole all my inheritance,
a really bad princess.
So later, when I set a table out for you,
don't say anything and just eat what is on it.
Okay?
Do not worry about anything, I'll take care of everything.
Understand, Your Highness?
I'll be back.
[A list of books that will provide nutrients to the princess's soul]
[What if we conduct the press conference in the parking lot?]
[ In charge of Royal Etiquettes Deputy Director, Park Hae Young, ]
[ successfully fulfilled her princess's first command. ]
Your Highness.
Have you packed your things?
Yes. It seems I have.
Is this because of what was in the news?
Please ignore nonsense like that, Your Highness.
You have always been so good to me,
- I am so thankful for everything. - Your Highness...
This is leaving without permission.
You cannot leave. You really cannot leave.
It isn't an unauthorized trip.
I have permission from the executive director.
Your Highness...
It will be a longer trip than normal.
But I will try my best to return as quickly as possible.
Your Highness.
Get someone who doesn't talk a lot to tail her.
We need to keep an eye on Our Highness...
Yes.
I think I told you not to call,
and that I would contact you.
I've been cooped up inside all day.
How long do I have to stay like this?
To be honest, we are doing this to benefit each other.
Isn't this being a little inconsiderate?
You are not only stupid. You also talk too much.
I didn't do this for your benefit. I did it for my benefit.
What did you just say?
Lee Dan, are you inside?
Lee Dan.
It is Park Hae Young. I know you're inside.
- Park Hae Young is outside. - Lee Dan.
What do I do?
What do you mean?
What is the door for?
Don't open the door. Don't let them know you are inside.
I will arrange a hotel room for you, so wait for my call.
If it is an unknown number, assume it is a reporter.
Don't pick it up.
How did Deputy Director Park know where Lee Dan was?
I don't know.
No one knows among my staff.
I am sure of it. We saw her go inside.
I understand. You guys can leave.
Lee Dan, I know you're in there. Let's talk.
Then just listen from in there.
Do you think your sister is getting accused because she doesn't have proof?
No.
She has proof but she insists on not revealing it.
She said what will my sister become?
She is planning to just take the blame.
She doesn't care about herself, she worries only about you.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a sister like that?
She's just pretending to be nice.
Fine.
I do not believe you planned this by yourself.
Who is helping you? Just tell me that.
Think about it and give me a call.
I will help you then.
I will wait for a good answer.
Yes, it's me. Where are you right now?
Please tell me.
Why are you so sure that Lee Seol is the princess?
When she first came, why did Grandfather kneel on the concrete before her?
That was all he did.
Without any formal investigation process, what evidence...
makes you so sure Lee Seol is the Princess?
I need to know the reason, so we can flip this situation.
Please tell me.
I am sorry, but I am busy right now.
Are you avoiding me?
Why?
You said it was my father who drove the Emperor's grandson to his death.
I've been bearing that much already.
There is no reason for you to not tell me.
Is there more to this?
Is there more that I don't know?
Does this,
have to do with my father too?
Just...
Can't you act like you don't know anything?
He was a good father to you.
Unbelievable...
Unbelievable.
Did Grandfather give the order?
You're lying right now, right?
Ahjushi, you are lying right now!
So, why do you keep digging?
If you keep digging, you won't find anything good.
No... I don't believe.
I don't believe.
I will never ask anyone about my father.
From now on, I will hear it directly from my father.
Hae Young...
Is it possible... I'm the only one who didn't know this secret about my father?
What are you saying?
Does Yun Ju know?
How could you say that?
Are you blaming Yun Ju for what happened?
Does she know?
This is... You're really a little too much.
If you act like this, our family cannot protect the chairman.
Is that what you want?
It is not that.
Then what is it?
I know. You and Yun Ju...
Your relationship isn't as it used to be.
Yun Ju... I know she is lacking compared to you.
Whether you get married to Yun Ju or not...
Me, the chairman, you and Yun Ju...
We are family.
Even if you are disappointed, I do not care anymore.
I cannot trust anyone right now.
I will be leaving.
Deputy Director.
Yes?
Every time the princess leaves the palace,
I have enough common sense to not say anything.
But I think today is a little different.
What are you saying?
She said she got the executive director's permission
to take a long trip.
But the princess's facial expression wasn't for a short trip
but rather like leaving for good.
So you are saying the princess has left the palace?
Yes.
How long has it been?
About an hour.
Please send bodyguards to the princess's pension.
Please hurry.
Yes.
- Park Hae Young! - Park Hae Young...
- Park Hae Young! - Hey, Park Hae Young!
Do you have evidence
- that Lee Seol is the princess? - Do you have proof?
- Please tell us! - Please come out!
- Tell us the truth! - What is the truth?
Hey, what is happening?
What is going on?
Has the princess come here?
Why are you looking for Seol here? What has happened?
I can't contact Lee Dan right now.
Is this all because of that sachet or whatever?
Is that why Seol is missing?
The reporters have all come here, so I can't even open the door.
Good job. Please don't open the door.
Later, I will tell you everything.
When the reporters realize is not here, they will leave.
Please do not worry too much.
I will leave a couple of guards.
Even if you are uncomfortable, please don't mind them.
Also, I'd like to ask you to please give me a call if you contact the princess.
I will be leaving.
My Seol...
She will be okay.
I will make sure of it.
- Please talk to us. - Please.
The person you are calling cannot come to the phone right now.
You will be connected to the voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
I will return after I find Seol.
I will pour you a drink then.
Then, are you saying there are no documents?
There is no record?
Yes, there isn't.
What do I do?
For a case or filed report, we do keep records for 10 years.
But nothing after that...
Your dad's hit and run was most likely processed as a car accident.
We only keep records of those cases for 5 years.
Anyway, thank you for your help.
I didn't even get to properly say thank you last time.
I am sorry.
I was carried out and forced to leave. So I was so out of it.
Yes, we know. Yeah, we saw.
Are you okay?
I saw the news and they were saying all these things.
That is why I am here. There is something I wanted to ask.
When my father and I was here, was there
any signs of us running away or hiding?
Hiding? Why?
From whom?
Weren't we?
Ah... wait a minute. Now that I think about it...
There was something wrong.
What was it?
Without a word, he just left in the middle of the night.
He wasn't someone like that.
After that, a man came looking for him.
A man?
Yes.
He wore expensive clothes,
and his car was a beautiful white machine.
He asked where you and your father went.
I told him you guys left.
Without a word, he just left.
Do you happen to know his name or number?
Aigoo... Do you know how long ago that was?
But, why that person?
Just because I am looking for people who knew my father.
I even placed an ad but no one has been calling.
It seems the only people who knew him were you and her.
Aigoo... It also took us a really long time
to be able to speak to you.
Did it, really? Why?
Even though we called this number every day,
they would never let us through to you.
So, when we watched the news, that Park Hae Young or whatever
seemed like someone in a high position, so we met with him first.
Dad.
Yes, this is the Daehan Group help desk.
Hello, this is Lee Seol.
Excuse me? Who is this?
Lee Seol. Princess Lee Seol.
The people who called after seeing the ad about the crowned prince,
do you have the list of their names?
Could I get that list?
I am sorry, but I think that will be hard to do.
Why? This has to do with me.
Why would I not be able to look at it?
The calls that we got were mostly fakes.
Even if you checked each one, I do not think it would be a big help.
It's okay. Just give it to me.
I am sorry. This is the chairman's secretary's orders.
Is it Executive Director Oh Yun Ju's father, Mr. Oh Ki Taek?
Yes.
Then, I guess there is nothing else to do,
but call Chairman Park Dong Jae to get that list.
Wait a second.
[Prince Lee Han Information Report]
Oh, hello. This is Lee Seol.
Really? Is that true? Do you know my dad?
Really? Water filters?
Oh... water filters.
Yes. I will call you if I need water filters.
Hello, this is Lee Seol.
Yes, yes. Yes, of course.
Yes, I understand.
I was wondering if you knew my dad?
His last name was Lee.
Hello? Hello?
Oh, yes.
Did you call because you remember Lee Han the crowned prince?
Oh, my stomach!
Oh, yes. Sun Ah?
This is Park Hae Young.
I was wondering, have you been in contact with Lee Seol?
I just tried calling her. [Joseon's Great Heritage by Oh Yun Ju]
But her phone has been turned off.
But I think Lee Seol slept here at the office.
I am sure of it.
Oh, really?
Then she might come back tonight, too.
I wonder...
Do you think she will come back knowing she will get caught by me?
Oh, really?
If you get in contact with her, please give me a call.
Do not worry. I will call you first.
Thank you.
Yes.
Sorry, I missed your call.
Please leave your message and number.
I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
This is Hae Young.
Did you not get my message?
Or has so much time passed,
that my name,
my voice...
You forgot them all?
Please give me a call.
There is something I need to hear from you.
Father...
Father, did you kill Lee Han?
Did you?
Please answer me.
Father, please answer me.
Answer me!
Please call me if you find him.
Yes.
James Park?
I don't think it could be a prank call from America.
Do I need to speak in English?
Hi. May I speak to...?
What do I do?
He is a Park. I think he can speak Korean.
Sorry, I missed your call.
- Please leave your message and number. - Oh, thank God.
I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Hello, this is Lee Seol.
I am looking for anyone who knows my father, Lee Han.
There is a record that you have called in before.
If you happen to know anything about my father,
or if you know anything about when I was young...
please call using the area code 82 and 106-534.
What do you do when your heart beats faster,
due to a government official and can't fall asleep?
What does a government official supposed to do,
when his heart beats faster and can't fall asleep because of you?
Mr. P.
It brewed kind of strong. I don't know if that's okay.
Is there a big problem?
You asked to see me this time, I was kind of shocked.
I won't beat around the bush
because it will be the same, whether I bluntly say it or not.
What is the problem?
I think you would know.
Do you know where Lee Seol is?
Where is Lee Seol?
I believe you know.
I am sorry for saying this to you,
but I couldn't do anything all day.
So as soon as I realized you might have put someone to keep an eye on her,
I was already calling you.
Yes. I don't know what motive you had,
but I will be understanding.
So, tell me where Seol is.
Fine, I will tell you.
But she cannot go back to the palace.
I can't hear what you are saying right now. Stop dragging.
Where is Seol?
Yun Ju.
Hey, doesn't she look familiar?
I thought that too.
Is she the princess? Princess Lee Seol?
Does that make sense? Why would Princess Lee Seol be here?
- Hey, it is her! - Why would she be here?
No, it isn't. Why would the princess be here?
It is her. Do you want to make a bet?
Ask her.
Wait a second.
Excuse me.
Yes?
It is her! The princess... You are Princess Lee Seol, right?
- Are you the princess, princess Lee Seol? - No, I am not. You got the wrong person.
Yes, you are!
- You look exactly like you do on the news. - She does look exactly the same in person.
- No, I really am not. - I think it is her.
- Did she get kicked out of the palace? - She even has bags with her.
I think it is true.
Oh... what do I do?
I am so sorry.
What are you going to do?
- What are you going to do? - I can’t believe this. Tissue, tissue.
I am so sorry. What do I do?
- I am sorry. - What do I do?
Stop it. What are you going to do?
- What are you going to do?! - I am really sorry.
- I am sorry. - Move those hands!
Give me my money, the price of the coffee and laundry. Right now!
I am sorry, but I don't have any money.
- What? - I am sorry.
I am sorry.
Are you joking with me right now?!
I am sorry.
What are you doing?
How did you know I was here?
You didn't pick up your phone, acting like you were so cool.
You have left for only a day but is already acting like this?
Excuse me.
Are you going to refund me for the coffee and laundry fee?
She says she doesn't have any money.
What kind of princess doesn't have any money?
Here.
I don't need the change so buy yourself pretty clothes.
Follow me.
Are you okay?
Are you going to run away again?
I’m asking, are you going to run away again?
Until I find out about my father,
I am not going back.
Why are you trying to find out?
Do you really think, my father and your father...
Do you really believe it's true?
Okay.
If you want to believe, it's okay. Everything is okay.
But whatever outcome,
let's find out together.
Whatever the truth is,
let's seek it together.
Do you believe in your father?
That's the only source of my strength.
What is the problem?
Thank you for saying yes. We will be a burden.
Yeah, come in.
- He has agreed to it. - Hey, Seol.
Did you come together?
Yes.
I feel empty. Is there anything to eat?
Let's see.
What happened?
I heard the palace has been put upside down when you came out.
- That is... - Why are you just standing there?
I am not sure who her professor is,
but she is so improper and not taught correctly.
That professor at whatever university can't teach.
Park Hae Young!
Please shut the door of someone else's refrigerator.
Why is there nothing to eat?
Hey, let's go grocery shopping.
Where is the closest market?
We can get it delivered.
Really?
Well, let's go to one that doesn't have that service.
Let's go.
We will be right back.
Where is she?
Who's house?
Professor Nam's.
She has gone with Director Park.
Together?
Yes.
Executive Director, the chairman has returned.
Does this make sense?
How could this have happened?
What did you do when the princess fled the palace?
Chairman.
Where is she?
Take a car and go get her. Get her right now!
Please calm down, Chairman.
I know where the princess is.
If you know, why are you still here?
Is this Park Hae Young's doing again?
I will go and bring her back.
Go right now and bring her back.
Yun Ju.
I am sorry, not now...
Hae Young stopped by.
Why did he? What did he say?
Are you behind all this?
What did you and him talk about?
He asked if you knew about his father.
The reason I told you about that,
- is so that you can stop... - How did you answer?
You took my side, right?
Did you really plan all this?
Thank you, Father.
I trust you, Father.
Yun Ju.
I think you should explain now.
You and I really can't stand each other.
How does a person not have any common sense?
We came out so she can wash up.
Can you give me steak and tenderloin, the biggest ones.
Yes.
The princess likes to eat a lot and in big quantities.
Did I ask you?
What do you think I like?
I like tenderloin. Why?
Because I like what the princess likes.
What type of meat do you like?
Pick anything. I am buying.
Thin flanks.
Gosh, this person...
I said to pick what you like to eat, what you always just eat.
Don't pick the most expensive one just because I said I was buying.
Excuse me. Please give me 5 servings of tenderloins,
and this thin flank...
Half of half a serving...
Seriously...

Right now... What is your current status?
Two portal sites have been taken cared of.
I am working on individual community sites now.
I am planning on taking down the comments and the posts.
You need to work fast.
You guys are all dead today.
You should calm down
and gain strength.
You can't faint.
These kids...
Why don't you get a longer sofa so she can stretch out her legs?
Do you have a blanket?
Move, you are getting in my way.
Stop, stop.
You just need to cover her with it.
Why do you keep touching it?
Did you always talk too much?
She is sleeping, so let's go over there and talk.
You should just be quiet.
You were the one trying to send her off to Egypt.
That was a long time ago.
But, why did you come to my house?
Are you prepared not to get offended?
What are you saying?
I am sorry to say this to you, Professor Nam.
But I thought if it was here, Yun Ju wouldn't come.
Even if she knew we were here.
Park Hae Young, I don't think you know Yu Ju that well.
The way I see it,
Yun Ju will be pitied again because of you, Park Hae Young.
We are done talking. You can get up.
How did you know?
I have slept a lot in that position.
Your legs should be asleep by now.
My legs are asleep. I thought I was dying, Professor.
Aren't you hungry? I bought meat.
I paid for it. Why did you say you bought it?
I believe it is Yun Ju.
What should we do?
I will go out.
No.
There is no reason for me to not meet her.
Please open the door for her.
You have guests, right? I have come to see them.
Can we talk outside for a moment?
Only us two...
What is it?
Fine.
There is something I want to ask you.
The place you ran off to was Professor Nam's house?
You must be jealous.
I am with the two men whom you said you weren't going to let go.
Shut up.
Is this your real side?
I think we should get along. So I can see that side of you better.
Isn't this close enough?
I have come all this way to see you.
I could have just said it over the phone.
Let's get straight to the point.
Why are you here?
Go to the chairman.
Go and tell him with your own mouth,
that you don't want to be the princess.
The chairman must be looking for me.
It is one obstacle you need to get over.
So go and see him.
Answer one thing before I do that.
You said that Park Hae Young's father
is responsible for my dad's death.
How did you know that? Do you have proof?
That is why I am talking. I said to go see the chairman.
Because once you hear it,
you not wanting to be the princess will simply roll off your tongue.
Go meet him and ask him yourself.
Go see how the chairman will react.
If he faints or not...
That is your proof.
The chairman... knows everything.
You need to go see the chairman.
Are you done talking?
I need to go somewhere with the princess.
I am going to take her.
Let go of that hand.
I have an order from the chairman to bring her back.
Blame it on me. Tell him I took her by force.
Why would I tell a lie like that?
It isn't a lie.
I am going to take her by force.
Let's go.
Don't meet with Yun Ju from now on.
Especially if it's just you two...
Do you think I met her because I wanted to?
But where are we going?
Where no one knows.
Where is that?
The important thing is,
not where but somewhere no one knows about.
It means only you and I will be there.
I didn't want to do this because you probably feel like you're in hell,
and I would be the only one feeling like I'm in heaven.
But I've just decided to be the bad guy.
