Your Highness, please protect that child.
Surely, the baby that is in your womb; in the near future.
Episode 3
-What's the matter?-What is that?
Over there . . .
Mungyeong Silver Raid Incident(A raid by 7 illegitimate sons on silver en route to the capital)
5th year of Gwang Hae's reign, 1613
The General Assembly for Daeboreum(First full moon of new year)
-Your Majesty.-Your Majesty.
Palace's Banquet Hall
-Put the tray over there.-Be careful!
Lady Kim Gae SiStop everything.
Oh Seong, (Lee Hang Bok)His Majesty must be very annoyed, since we even refused to come to the banquet.
Oh Lee, (Lee Won Ik)What can we do?
His Majesty must learn to interact with Royal Officers, even like this.
Han Eum, (Lee Doek Hyeong)
His Majesty is entering.
So all of you are here.
Although you have refused to attend my banquet, you have the energy to discuss it.
Therefore,
did all of you agree to not attend?
This time, even you! To go against me for transferring the capital to Gyoha?
Your Majesty, I'm not being rash with my opposition.
Nurhachi (Jurchen Chieftain. 1st Emperor of Qing Dynasty)The Jurchens are being very active in the north.
That is the reason why I'd like to relocate the capital from Hanyang (now Seoul) to Gyoha (now Paju in Gyeonggi Province).
Just in case of a possible war...
I understand, Your Majesty.
That may happen in the future.
However, it will cost a huge sum of money to relocate the capital.
It will become such a heavy burden to our already uneasy citizens.
Kim In Hong (Leader, Great Northern Faction)It will be too difficult for the lives of our citizens?! What blasphemy!
His Majesty enacted the Daedong Law to collect grains as taxes rather than regional speciality foods.
The citizens's lives are stabilized now!
This truth is known by all the subjects.
You are indeed correct.
That is the grace of His Majesty. But that law is only being applied in Gyeonggi province.
The senior statesmen are suggesting, instead of spending money on the relocation of the capital,
we use the money for expansion of the application of the Daedong Law.
It wll benefit many more subjects.
Lee Yi CheomDid you say it's for the welfare of the subjects?
Let's pretend that, that is how you two feel.
Seo In (Prince Gwang Hae "His Majesty's" Opposition)But the Westerners sitting way over there . . .
Never!
They are only opposing the King.
It's because it wasn't the King that you chose for the throne.
How can you mention our political factions, while addressing the governmental issues?
Watch your words, Personnel Minister!
It's Great Inspector General!
Great Inspector General! [ Junior Rank 2 ]
From a month ago, I'm the Great Inspector General, Lord!
Lords Oh Seong and Oh Ri, please come to your senses also.
They agree with confirming and committing to the Daedong Law?
They're fooling you to pull Han Eum and you two to their political faction.
They have an ulterior motive.
You just won't stop! How can we discuss and agree with anything like this?
My Lord, it's all useless!
Truly, you are not going to say that you don't know it, right?
The Westerners never acknowledged me, even from the time of the late king.
As for who's considered on the king's side, only less than a handful of Northerners.
There's not one thing that seems to go the way I want.
Even so, Your Majesty, you must discuss governing together with the senior statesmen to the end.
That, Your Majesty, is politics.
I did so, these past five years.
However, what has improved?
If someone other than me had been king...
-wouldn't it have been different?-Your Majesty!
No longer. I cannot compromise on the transfer of the capital to Gyoha.
But then...
that this time around as much as you agree with them...
I feel as if I'm becoming more and more an isolated island.
Princess Jeong Myeong (Daughter of King Seonjo and Queen In Mok)
You there, move aside! I said make way!
I'm going to go crazy. Did all the people of the capital come crawling out?
He must have arrived already. Somewhere around here...
Aigoo. Young Master!
Aigoo. Young Master Joo Won!
You're here?
Young Master. How could you sit on this bare ground?Please forgive me.
All the roads were completely jammed.
It's no worry.
It's my fault for setting out on the road on a day like this.
No matter how much you like studying, spending several months at the mountain temple...
You didn't know today was the Full Moon festival, right?
Hong Joo Won
Father is well, right?
Of course. Let's go quickly.
Again...
It would be fun to go out of the palace on a day like this.
I hear people do kite flying and step on a bridge.
Today too, I'll only hear classical music.
"Long time no see."
"Yes."
I'll spend it like that probably.
What is this? He's looking at a book while on top of a horse?
Princess!
Sorry. I was going to go soon but...
Your Highness, are you alr...alr...
My gracious!
Court Lady Choi. Court Lady Choi, what's wrong?
Your Highness, Your Highness.
Are you alright, Court Lady Choi? Are you all there?
Your Highness is a woman. I'm saying you're a princess!
But now you climb a tree too, like a monkey?
I'm telling you I'm not hurt.
It's been only a month since you tried walking on the ice at Buyongji. (A pond in the palace)
Three days ago, we even stole a foal from the royal horse stable and rode on it.
Yup, you're right. I did bad again.
Really. At this rate now, I don't think I'll be able to die (from losing) my face.
Right? I was really surprised earlier too, Court Lady Choi.
It's nothing if you compare it to how much I was surprised.
Even if you're like this, you will absolutely, absolutely not able to get away with today!
We'll be late for the banquet. Let's hurry.
- I'm telling you there's no use even if you're like this. - Court Lady Choi!
Don't you think it will be good for both of us to keep this a secret?
Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness.
- Older sister!- Grand Prince Yeong Chang!
Look. The court ladies helped me put it on.
Your new court attire looks good on you. You look stately.
But unfortunately he'll have to save it until next time.
Excuse me? Why, Queen Mother?
Today's banquet was canceled.[ Queen Dowager In Mok: Seon Jo's second queen ]
The first full moon banquet was?
As a result, His Majesty asked us to convey his regrets.
No, as if that banquet was anything. Please convey to His Majesty not to be worried.
Thank you for your understanding, Queen Dowager.
Then...
Treacherous lass. How could a court lady who attended the late king follow the currently crowned again?
You still say that even after five years have passed?
However, Your Highness, the more I think about it...
That's right. The more I think about it, we had astonishing days.
Prince Im Hae died from unknown causes, and Prince Jin Reung was sentenced to drink poison.
Who will be the next? When will they storm into the Grand Prince's residence?
Your Highness.
Therefore, now, it's no longer time for just contemplating.
Have you received the reply to the letter I sent?
What's the point of going to the trouble to prepare a table? It gets kicked and kicked.
The last five years looked exactly like that.
In the end, the political battlefield is a numbers game.
If we don't eliminate the Westerners, we won't be able to get anything done.
It seems they've begun to act at the Queen Dowager's too.
Ha.
Yeong Chang is 8 years old.
Since he can act as the Westerner's king, they probably won't take it sitting down.
Did you find out about what I informed you of?
As you said, a very fun thing happened in Mungyeong.
Silver merchants transacting silver were robbed but, well, it was simple thievery.
However, those thieves are very unusual.
If we put it together well, it'll be quite the scene.
It's possible that His Majesty will not take action easily.
He's nursing the wound of having killed Prince Im Hae.
No. Still, in the end, he'll end up having to do it.

To earn this position,
I waited sixteen years.
With my hands...
I even took the life of my own flesh and blood.
I thought that was already quite a prohibitive price I paid. However...
are you saying that I can't even do this much?
When that's merely the start for me.
You said
I would come to know more of what a throne is than I did in the past.
That's right.
What do you think still is left for me?
This time too...
would you say that it's the lot of my choice?
Bull's eye!
You owe me one Nyang and three Poon.
I thought little of you since you were a young master.
It's not that you thought little of me but that you didn't recognize me. I (Kang In Woo) am the best originally.
Ey. I'm ruined.
-Is there anyone who'll draw (the bow) for one Nyang and three Poon? -Me!
You...
It will do if I use this, right?
- Do you even know how to shoot? - I'll just learn.
Even if I learn it now, I'll probably do better than you will.
This kid. You're such a bragger.
Hey, buster. It hurts.
The kid's gotten stronger. Seems as if you've grown taller too.
Long time no see, Kang In Woo.
I'm bored.
Me too, Older Sister. I even wore new court robes to go to the banquet.
But there's nothing we can do since they say His Majesty's unwell.(Prince Yeong Chang, Princess Jeong Meong)
Right. Since it's turned out this way,
even if I had to go, "Yes, ho ho ho,"
I'm thinking it would have been good if there were a banquet at least.
Ex... Excuse me?
There's just something like that.
- Outside the palace wall, wrestling matches probably have been going on for quite a while. - Wrestling, you say?
Yeah, I heard from Court Lady Choi, but the subjects all come out and play together when it's the first full moon of the year.
They wrestle, fly kites, and play with strings of firecrackers at night too.
What is it to play with a string of firecrackers?
That's having a long line from the mountain to...
Let's stop.
We'll only feel rotten inside. It's something we won't be able to see for all of our lives.
What should we do, Eui? Should we play hide and seek?
I don't want to. It's a game we play every day.
Then, should we play tu-ho?(Korean horseshoes game)
Then, what do you want to do? I will do anything.
Then, Older Sister,
let's go watch the wrestling.
Go outside the palace and fly a kite and see them play with strings of firecrackers too.
What?
It'll probably take six hours. Be careful that Yeong Chang and Jeong Myeong do not find out about matters in the palace.
Yes. I've clamped down on the court ladies as usual.
-We can't do that Eui.-Why not?
They said Queen Mother went to a mountain temple and would be late.
I heard everything.
Still, how can we?
No. Even if we were to go outside,
how would we get outside the palace?
As for that, Older Sister. Earlier while I was playing hide and seek with the court ladies...
There was a place like this in this world!
Eui, hurry.
You really did a good job clamping down on the court ladies, right?
Yes. I told them not to even open the door since I was going to sleep.
I too told Court Lady Choi that I would be with you, but...
But Eui, should we just turn back?
It is dangerous.And what if Queen Mother finds out?
I don't want to. I want to see the capital for sure.
If you won't go, I will go by myself at the least.
That you can't. How can you by yourself?
Okay, let's go.
Instead, you must stay fixed by my side for sure.
Got it?
Yes, Older Sister!
See!
The trees outside the palace look like that.
Let's go. If we go quickly, we'll be able to see the wrestling and the kite-flying too.
Let's go.
Here, here, here, here.
I will bet on the guy with the red thigh band.
It seems these are all common people!
That's right. That's right!
The guy with the red band won!
Look, Eui! The guy with the red band must have won the game!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Splendid Team @ Viki
I requested that you come far.
I apologize, Lord.
I'm not telling you to go against His Majesty, Lord.
Your Highness Queen Dowager.
It's for the security of the royal family.
Chief Minister, as you helped the present king in the past for that,
I am asking you to do so for the Grand Prince's life.
But if I proceed with the plan, you'll earn the suspicion of His Majesty.
It might pour oil on this unstable political situation.
Yes. I see you acknowledge it too, Chief Minister.
That the present situation is like that. Therefore,
that's why you responded to my request to see you not within the palace but outside.
Your Highness.
I too will say the same thing as the present king, Chief Minister.
This is for both the present king and the grand prince.
Then...
I will await your answer.
Won't it be a difficult task for the princess who's still young?
That is so.
The princess is a young child who still does not know the politics within the palace.
However, this is also for the princess, Chief Minister.
Do you, Chief Minister, by any chance
believe in prophecies?
A very long time ago, there was a time when I met an ascetic at this mountain temple.
An ascetic, you say?
I heard something ominous that I could not believe at all.
Ever since that man...
I lived having forgotten it, but...
after finding traces of it again five years ago...
the anxiety in my heart won't go away.
You must be hungry! Please eat a lot!
You drink alcohol too?
It's normal for a twelve year old boy to drink and goes to courtesan's house, but we're already fifteen.
What about it, you nerd?
Think you can do it?
Hey, you...
There. I did everything you wanted to do.
I saw the childish wrestling and even drank alcohol.
So, now, I'll ask you.
Is it true that you gave up on studying?
Why on earth? What's the reason?
I heard it from our household steward.
After hearing that, I came straight to you without even visiting my father.
In Woo!
Can't we just talk about something else today?
Are you telling us to use this place?
Weren't you asking for the latrine?
No. It'll do.
Really.
Commoners don't use the mae-u-teul, I see.(portable toilets that the royal family uses)
(portable toilets that the royal family uses)
Still, we can make a living after the new king came.
However, did you hear? That Prince Im Hae didn't die in an accident.
They say the king killed him, his own older brother!
Stop! Somebody will hear!
Aigoo. So who do you think will be the next?
Won't it be Grand Prince Yeong Chang, no?
I'm saying you'll lose your neck!
Why? Is there anyone who doesn't know that in the capital?
Enough of that. Let's go to Gwangtong bridge. I saw a good spot to step on.
Should we go?
What? You've no money?
What is money? What is such a thing that...
No. You don't know what money is?
You ate a free meal that way?
Eui!
Older Sister!
How are you? How are you?
What are you doing? You're being rude and impertinent!
How do you dare yell at whom?
Are... Are you with him?
No, I... I
After ordering all this, he said he had no money.
Money?
No.
You don't know what money is either?
No. That's not it.
Hey, where are you going?
This is embarrassing.
It's my first time at a market, so as for that I need to pay if I eat food,
I failed to think of that.
- What?- However!
Even so, your attitude is very rude!
- I will send money when I go back, but you...
- Hey!- Yes
Bring the spanking stick.
To kids like these, spanking is the medicine.
What?
Older Sister!
Bring it quickly.
Older Sister!
Have you lost your mind, you rascal?
How dare you? Who do you think us to be?
Who, what do you mean who? You're those who try to eat free meals. These...
Lower that hand.
I want to go to the palace.
They're too scary.
Alright, Grand Prince.
I shouldn't have brought you.
I'm sorry.
Lower that hand!
What happened?
I barely managed to prevent him from taking them to the police station.
I told them it would be useless even if he went.
Did you use some pull as the police chief's son?
It's a holiday, remember?
Matters that arise during holidays are overlooked.
Since I paid for what you ate, it's alright for you to go.
On the first full moon of the year, it's customary to share food, but not when it comes to doing business.
Therefore, don't repeat the same mistake.
Wait.(Using language of command reserved for royalty and high officials)
What is your name?
Since you've done something praiseworthy, I'll confer a reward.
Wh...what?!
She's coming off strong; speaking informally.
What are you doing? Ah.
Tell me your venerable father's name also.
That wicked subject will be punished but
your father will be promoted to a high government position since he's raised a chivalrous son.
Promotion, you say? Are you the daughter of some minister's family?
Look here! I don't know who you are but aren't you being too excessive?
What do you mean asking me abruptly for even my father's name when it's my first time seeing you ever in my life?
No. Look here. That's not it. I just...
Fine. Since you're asking, I'll answer.
I'm called Joo Won of the Hong family. My father is the police chief, His Excellency Hong Yeong.
However, I don't need the reward, you maiden, are offering.
Nor my father's promotion. If there's something you must do, it's probably to apologize.
- What?- First, today's incident is you maiden's fault. It's not that tavern keeper's wicked fault.
Therefore, you will have to apologize to him first.
Second. Since you've ridiculed the person who helped you, this too is a matter you should apologize for.
- Look here. - Therefore, go back and first reflect on yourself and after that apologize.
If you're going to do that then I'll wait.
Please be understanding. He's always been a little prickly.
What did I do?
You didn't have to scold her. She's a girl and still young.
Still, what ought to be realized should be realized. She seemed a maiden of a noble family. How can she be so ill-mannered?
Why? I thought she was cute.
But those kids are a bit amusing.
-What about them?-They were saying something about the palace.
Ah. She called the little boy Grand Prince.
What? Is it that they are insane?
Really. Whatever did I do?
I just did that because I was grateful.
-Isn't that right, Eui?-Yes.
Well, even though he did so without knowing, he was impertinent.
Those subjects from before too.
Right. When we go back to the palace, we'll have to issue some punishments.
Wait, Eui. There are people I must punish first.
-What?-Stay right here.
Come inside.
What is this? Aigoo.
Go after having fun. Go after having fun for a long time.
You, see me for a moment.
-Us? -That's right
You're commoners who came out of that tavern down there, right?
-And so? -I heard every word you said there.
I mean what you said related to His Majesty and Prince Im Hae who passed away.
And so?
You rascals! What do you mean, "And so?"
How dare you disparage His Majesty! Did you think you'd be alright after doing so?
- You've returned to the palace early. - What about the children?
I... well... did I say anything wrong?
What did you say? You rascal!
No, is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know that?
That the king killed Prince Im Hae and that the next will be Grand Prince Yeong Chang.
Look here. You should stop now.
But it's ridiculous, no? She's picking a fight over something like this.
Wait. What did you just say?
-What's going to happen to the Grand Prince?-Ah
So you can trip over that too?
Look here, miss. This is no rotten talk.
That the king will soon ensnare the grand prince, the princess, and everyone else is a truth even village dogs know.
That's what I'm saying.
Isn't that right?
Of course!
Eui.
-Grand Prince. -Don't wake him up.
I'll just look at him and come right out.
Grand Prince!!
-Queen Dowager.-What happened here?
Weren't the Grand Prince and the Princess supposed to be together?
Pay greater attention to the security.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Giddyup. Giddyup.
Namhan Mountain Fortress
What on earth happened?
The Princess and the Grand Prince are nowhere to be found.
Your Majesty!!

N..o. There's no way. His Majesty wouldn't...
Older sister.
Eui.
Older sister. I'm scared and my legs hurt too.
I'm sorry Eui. I was thinking of something else.
Here.
But then older sister. Can you see the path when it gets dark?
Over there. The sun is setting.
What?
I'm scared older sister.
Kim Je Nam, the Queen Dowager's father
What do you mean that even the palace soldiers cannot find them? Where on earth are you saying these children are?
- I am truly ashamed, Your Majesty.- Sound the alarm bell.
-Yes, Your Majesty.-But Your Majesty...
This comes close to a coup. Let everyone in the capital know and
mobilize everyone, I mean, even the capital and the police forces.
Oh Seong, what on earth has happened?
Moreover, the Westerners are at the main hall. Why is that?
Why do you think? They are suspecting His Majesty right now.
Your Majesty!
Please entrust the investigation of finding the grand prince and Her Highness the princess to us.
Your Majesty!
Are you all out of your mind?
This place is the King's royal chamber!
How dare you utter such thoughtlessness before His Majesty?
You probably suspect me.
Isn't that right? You must be thinking that I tried to harm Yeong Chang.
That I would, the Grand Prince and the Princess...
Yes, Your Majesty.
Since you condescend to inquire, I will dare put my neck out and ask.
I heard that you left the palace and conducted secret inspections in disguise.
Where are you coming from?
Exactly at that hour.
The time when Your Majesty was outside the palace, their highnesses both disappeared.
Even then you don't know! Really Your Majesty?!
Queen Dowager's Father-in-Law!
-Father.-Joo Won.
Is there anything the matter. The palace alarm just now...
There is a mishap in the palace. His Highness the Grand Prince and Her Highness the Princess have disappeared.
- Excuse me? - Let's speak in more detail after I return.
-Let's go.-Yes!
-What?-Are you sure?
That those two children earlier said something about the palace and the grand prince?
Yes, but...Hold on. Then could it be...?
Since you never know, inform the capital department! And the police too!
I will go to that place earlier.
Ok. I understand.
His Highness the Prince.
Are you alright Eui? Are you cold?
Older Sister, I would like to go back to the palace.
People say that if we go on this road the palace will appear.
Hold on just a little bit longer.
Are you okay, Older Sister?
Your complexion is pale.
I'm alright.
Older Sister! Older Sister! Come to your senses! Older Sister!
Help us. Please help us.Help us.
Help us. Please help us.
Help us.
What has happened? How...?
Help me. The Grand Prince...
This child. To the palace... please.
Your Highness the Princess?
Princess.
Older sister! Older sister! Older sister!
Your Highness!
Yeong Chang! Jeong Myeong!
Grand Prince!Princess!!
Are you alright? Grand Prince?
Fortunately, neither were injured.
Forgive us. This is all due to our shortcoming.
Queen Dowager.
Here, escort both of their highnesses now!
Hurry.
Your Highness.
Princess Jeong Myeong's residence.
Really, are you alright?
I'm sorry. Court Lady Choi.
I was wrong.
No. You remained unharmed like this.
We all thought you had suffered a mishap.
That His Majesty finally had you both...
Court Lady Choi.
There's something I want to ask.
Would you like to see Her Highness the Princess?
No. Let's go.
Your Majesty?
You were on your way to see Yeong Chang, you say?
Yes.
I'm curious as to whether he's okay.
Also, forgive me, Your Majesty.
Because I caused you great distress too.
Soin[ Small Person ]
that's what you say? In front of me, you call yourself that.
A long time ago, you used to call me just 'older brother'.
That's right. It's probably my greed.
No matter what happens in the world,
wanting to be called that way by you at the least.
Older brother
Princess, what do you mean by that?I told you to call him 'Crown Prince'.
Therefore, when it's just the two of us...
Then, call me older brother to your heart's content. Understand?
Can I really do that?
The wind is cold, Princess. Don't tarry too much.
Is it true? To His Majesty, really...
Yeong Chang and I are his enemies?
No way,
I must have heard wrong. They must have been mistaken.
His Majesty isn't that kind of person. My older brother is...
Older Brother.

Today is the first full moon of the year.
You know, right?
Jeong Myeong.
Do you remember?
You sold the heat wave to me before.
Ah right, Jeong Myeong?
Yes.
Buy my heat wave.
Older Brother!!
I was tricked! Tricked by my older brother!
Please buy my heat wave, Older Brother.
See. This year I sold it to you.
So, Older Brother...
next year for sure,
please sell yours to me.
Next year, too.
The year after next year, too.
For a long time like that for sure.
Protect that child, Your Majesty.
Gyeok Am Nam Sa Go(16th c. soothsayer)
What did you say just now?
That child will become the real owner of the world.
Your Highness, that unborn child will be...
If only he can remain alive.
That day that is approaching,
that child will be...
If only he can remain alive.
[The jail cell for the leaders of the theft of the Mungyeong Silver ]
Park Eung Seo [ Westerner Park Sun's illegitimate son ]
Are you saying that Han Eum really came forward?
Yes.
If it is him, he will be able to move the two lords.
Both of them are of families that possess great power from generations past.
If Hong Yeong possesses honor, Kang Ju Seon possesses wealth.
If only either side can be accomplished,
the Grand Prince will earn a huge army (of a thousand soldiers and ten thousand cavalrymen).
However, even so,
it won't be that the Chief Minister stands on the Grand Prince's side.
Yes.
I know that.
However, from now on,
we must make the Chief Minister one of the Grand Prince's people.
Your Highness.
Have you finally opened your eyes now?
No.
That was a long time ago already.
Yes.
I regretted it.
That day
that I wasn't able to seat the Grand Prince on the throne.
Your Highness, it's Her Highness the Princess.
Queen Mother.
Why are you like this? What is it?
Just follow me.
This is hwaleui.(wedding gown for royal weddings)
The palace's women
wear it on their wedding day.
Also, this was
made for you.
For...
your wedding that's to take place soon.
Queen Mother.
What do you m...?
What do you mean my wedding?
Queen Mother!
It's a letter personally written by the Queen Dowager.
She entrusted me to convince you both.
Her Highness the Princess's husband?
So...
You want either Lord Hong Yeong or me
to give either one of our sons as Her Highness the Princess' husband.
Is that what you're saying?
What do you mean marriage? I am thirteen years now only, Queen Mother.
Please take back your words. I don't like it this early.
If so,
I will have to leave
you and my younger brother, isn't that so?
It's for your younger brother.
For Yeong Chang, my child,
we must do so.
Only you
can save that child.
That is...
your destiny
of having been born a princess.
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Grand Prince!
Your Highness the Grand Prince!
Your Highness!
Whew! It was fun outside the palace.
Oh, my. There could have been big trouble!
Your Majesty.
You were about to stand in a dangerous place.
It's too high for you.
I don't want to.
Are you...
afraid of me?
Alright.
I am too.
You who are this small and...
young, and I'm still afraid of you.

Regardless of which household, we are ready to follow the Queen Dowager's intent.
Hurry. Even an hour sooner.
However, I must say I don't know whether this marriage will be carried out safely.
Inauspicious energy that must not be with Her Highness the Princess
is flowing.
