Episode 2
Ghost. Ghost. It's a ghost!
(An object that moves on its own because a ghost has attached itself to it.)
Quickly. Quickly remove that thing. Quickly!
Your Highness.
Perhaps, we can meet again?
He wouldn't have sent an assassin, would he?
Hye Woo Suk?
What concern do you have that you aren't able to sleep?
Tell your concerns to this rock.
This rock is called "Hye Woo Suk" that worries for you.
This rock takes away your problems and brings solutions,
so sleep comfortably now.
It's a souvenir from my trip.
He came again?
This man is really!
Haven't I made myself clear to him?
As expected, Jae Woon, your skills are amazing.
I guess I have no talent in weaponry.
Looking at my state after years of training.
Are you okay, Young Master?
Can't you stop calling me 'young master'?
I've told you many times, but you're stubborn as well.
Anyway, Prince Yang Myung is late.
From the promised time, he is already an hour late.
When Prince Yang Myung was here, this backyard was always noisy.
Since there are only you and me, it seems a bit empty.
Had I known that you would have missed me this much,
I would have ended my journey and returned sooner.
Prince Yang Myung!
My love, Heo Yeom!
Congratulations on passing the civil service examinations.
- Wow! - Prince Yang Myung.
Kim Jae Woon!
You are not amiable at all.
Jae Woon, I will just half congratulate you.
Did you enjoy your trip?
I did as a matter fact.
Now! For my loving popular friends, I brought back precious tofu,
so let's drink in the moonlight, okay?
Let's go.
Now, let's drink.
Because you're running late, I thought you were going to stay away longer.
I was late because I was looking at an important person.
Forgive me. I have found someone I care for more than you.
Have you found a lover while you were gone?
You haven't ever said anything about someone...
You didn't by any chance climb over a wall again, did you?
Hey, what are you talking about?
How can I, with my prince status, climb into a woman's house?
Especially, when it's the wall of your precious younger sister...
Even though my sister is young,
it's the law that men and women of different families must be separated.
On top of that, weren't you found by the child and received a scolding?
After going through that, how could you go...
- again? - I know. I know. I know.
I know very well, so please stop.
You're so uptight.
If you showed her to me when I asked,
I wouldn't have gone through that embarrassing situation.
Whenever your sister's name comes up,
your face turns sour and your voice becomes lower. Jeez.
Prince Yang Myung!
Oh!
Did you just laugh? Yeom! You saw it too, right?
This ice man laughed! It's a once in a lifetime event.
- Don't you agree? - If you climb that wall again,
I'm not going to stand by and do nothing.
I said I understood.
More importantly, I have special presents for you two.
These are charms to help you start your official career.
Have you heard of the mystic rocks?
Whenever you look at it, think of me,
so you must always carry it with you.
It may be a bit heavy to carry it on me.
Oh, is that so?
If that 2nd one is too big,
then I'll give you the 4th one.
Then are you guys now becoming the Crown Prince's men, too?
What's wrong with the atmosphere?
Come. Come. Come. Once you enter the palace, we won't have the chance to meet like this,
so enjoy tonight.
Here.
This is the newly edited list for the ministry officials.
This is the Sammang*? (*The king picks one from the recommended candidates)
Yes.
They have been chosen for Sigangwon* (*The office in charge of the Crown Prince's education)
after great deliberation from the grand masters.
These are the most outstanding candidates.
Your Highness, as you have ordered, I've learned more about the junior officials.
Alright. Who were the ones chosen?
Though I do not know who the king chose,
the list of top 3 recommendations,
I have brought through great pain.
Firstly, the Ethics final candidates are:
- Yoon Sung Chul, Yoon Dae Ho, - Yoon Sung Chul, Yoon Dae Ho,
Kim Ki Joo.
The Crown Prince's teachers: Park Ji Hong, Yoon Pil Won, Jung Min.
Literature candidates: Yoon Si Wan, Choi Byung Eun, Choi Chi Soo.
You knew already?
Do you think that's new information?
Aigoo...
It seems like Grandmother used a lot of resources.
No, the one who worked hard is probably Yoon Dae Hyung.
So, is that the only thing you have learned?
Today will be the first day of class with your new literature tutor,
but I do not know very well who is...
Whether it's one person or the other, they're all probably men who want power,
- old farts. - Then perhaps,
are you saying that you're going to make him lose again...
For someone who can't participate in politics yet,
how can I have that kind of right?
Then...
I only have one choice.
I'm going to let him see how difficult it is.
Yo, Yo... Your Highness!
Well then, shall we go test how long the new literature teacher is going to last?
Your Highness...
How long do you think he will endure this time?
I bet my special hair pin that he will quit and lose the election within a month.
Let's go.
Oh! Oh my.
Yo... Your Highness, the new literature tutor is here.
I received the royal command to become the literature tutor, Shin Heo Yeom.
I am meeting the Crown Prince for the first time today.
Older brother is going to be at the Sigangwon with the Crown Prince?
Then, brother is going to be the Crown Prince's teacher?
Since he received the royal command to be the literature candidate at Sigangwon,
isn't that obvious? [Madam Shin]
Yeon Woo, are you okay?
I'm okay.
I was thinking about something else.
Jeez, where is your head?
You read hard books easily,
but look at your embroidery.
He probably won't know that I am his sister, right?
Why are you saying such an obvious thing?
What?
Oh, never mind.
I am here to watch my brother awarded the top literary scholar.
Your Highness...
Please have respect for your teacher.
How old are you this year?
Two years have passed since jihak*. (*15 years)
Then,
you're just 17?
That's correct.
Your Highness, please have respect...
For such a young age,
you must have a strong supporter.
Heo Yeom? Did you say Heo Yeom?
Out of all the Sigangwon positions,
you couldn't put one of our own people in that position
and you gave up the position to someone who is still young?!
Are you unaware of how important that position is or,
have you forgotten about what I said like wind passing?
Heo Yeom,
won't be able to control the Crown Prince's temper.
In a short time, he'll walk out on his...
Oh, I'm so frustrated!
Who is he?
He is the son of the Chief Scholar, a man of proper behavior.
Do you still not understand what that means?
With this choice of personnel,
he will be removing all of his maternal relatives.
Do you not know that?
The king is already forming his own political power!
Bulsogishin*. (*A god that even the king can't call whenever he wants)
After learning, he became god.
Then make him your servant to help you become king.
Then, he's a god that is not only a teacher but a friend.
That's good.
That's very good.
17!
17?!
What does Father take me for that he assigned a baby!
Your Highness, I finally have information about the man, Heo Yeom.
He placed first in the literature
- examination. - Be quiet!
The information that you bring is always behind.
I'm positive this time.
His popularity and fame were amazing since he was a Sungkyunkwan scholar.
If you wanted looks, he has the looks. If it was knowledge, he has it.
If it was personality, his was the best, as well.
He is the perfect classical scholar who did no wrong.
Is there a seat available?
- Over here. Sit here. - Sit here.
The seniors at Sungkyunkwan were a given. The students viewed him sacredly and highly.
Men and women of all ages, regardless of one's position, were all attracted to his charm.
He was known as the fascination of the scholars.
Are you Heo Yeom whom Eun Hyang from the brothel likes?
Do you want to...
As soon as people saw him...
be friends with me?
They were charmed by his looks and personality,
so they asked if they could be friends.
Not only that! Literature, politics, history, philosophy, and mathematics.
There isn't a subject he doesn't have an interest in.
Basically, to express with thought provoking Chinese characters,
he's a genius who said that studying was the easiest for him!
Shut it! Shut it! Shut your mouth!
I don't want to see you, so for the time being turn around.
Brother, it's Yeon Woo.
Oh, yes. Come in.
I see it's time for us to read already.
Let's see. What book did we say we were going to read today?
Was it The Great Historian or New Accounts of the World?
Your face has worry written all over it.
Does it look like that to you?
Did something happen to you today at the palace?
Or perhaps,
has the Crown Prince been giving you a hard time?
It's not that. It's not like that.
I think I have received a hard task from the Crown Prince.
What is it? Please tell me.
I will help you.
Will you really help me?
I think the Crown Prince has a big misunderstanding about me.
I don't know how to open up his heart.
Misunderstanding?
I'm sure it's not only because of a misunderstanding.
Do you think he'll feel comfortable having a young man as his teacher?
It's not because of you, Brother.
That's...
Maybe, because of me.
Oh no. I made you worry for no reason.
Don't worry.
If something is tied, then it will untie somehow.
- Brother. - Yes.
Brother,
you want to win over the Crown Prince's heart, right?
Do you have a way to do so?
I will end today's class here.
You're really a shameless person.
You're not teaching me a thing, yet you're receiving pay.
You're really shameless.
It seemed as if you were not ready for class yet, Your Highness.
It's probably that you're not ready to teach me, yet.
Then instead of our class today,
may I dare to give you a riddle?
Did you say a riddle?
Yes.
If you are able to answer the riddle, I will give up my position.
However, if by any chance, you are not able to answer it...
If I can't?
Please respect me as your teacher and show me you want to learn.
You want to have a deal.
Fine. Give it to me.
Since you asked, I will dare to give it to you.
It is something that can light up the darkness in a moment.
It is something that can bring the light into darkness in a moment.
What is it?
Isn't that so simple?
It won't be that simple.
That's what you think.
I will look forward to hearing the answer at our next class.
At the same time,
there won't be a reason for me to see you again.
Those are eunuchs from the Crown Prince's palace, aren't they?
But, why are they taking all the books from the library to Crown Prince's palace?
The queen is waiting for you, Princess.
Princess! Didn't you say you were going to Jung Palace?
Brother,
after listening to father's scolding, have you decided to study enthusiastically?
Wow!
When do you plan on reading all these books?
Min Hwa, since I don't have time to play with you,
don't distract me and go back.
Why is the Crown Prince suddenly acting like this?
Why are you standing like that?
The reason I am standing like this is because of the Crown Prince's order.
His Highness is trying to solve a Sigangwon assignment he received from his tutor.
Assignment? What is the assignment?
I told you go away.
Huh?
Please tell me what the assignment was.
Something that makes the world light in an instant,
and also makes the world dark in an instant.
That's what the assignment was.
Isn't that the eyelids?
Look.
If you close your eyes like this, the entire world becomes dark.
If you open your eyes like this, the entire world becomes light, right?
Look at the way you think.
You're substandard. Aigoo...
This is why I don't talk to you.
You're distracting my studies. Go back now.
The answer is monarch's politics.
As written in the Doctrine of Means:
Let the states of equilibrium and harmony exist in perfection,
and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth,
and all things will be nourished and flourish.
- H-His Royal High... - Shush!
So, the monarch will reign over the country with sincerity and kindness.
If there is continuous harmony, then all creations will be happy.
In other words, the citizens' lives will become brighter.
Then the opposite, the citizens' lives will become darker.
The answer is obviously monarch's politics, is it not?
I'm sorry,
but it is different from the answer that I have.
What did you say just now?
It is not the answer?
Yes, that's correct.
Then, what is the answer?
The answer is...
eyelids.
Are you joking around with me?
If you do not like the answer,
then does it become a joke?
What? What did you say?
If the answer cannot be found in the scriptures,
does it become a low level idea?
Then, what seemed like child's play is really the answer?
When you look at it from the eyes of a child,
the entire world can become a problem,
and the entire world can become the answer.
There are two important things for learning.
One is...
you have to lose the arrogance that you know the answer to everything,
and the other is...
answering the questions from your pride and bias.
That pride and bias
is making Your Highness's eyes, heart, and everything dark.
You need to realize that.
I apologize, Your Highness.
Shush!
You said monarch's politics.
That is absolutely correct.
But, having your eyelids closed tightly,
how are you going to observe the citizens' well-being?
How are you going to become king?
First,
please correct your attitude towards learning.
Is anyone outside?
Yes, Your Highness.
Please give your order.
Tell the kitchen to have refreshments ready.
Yes?
Why refreshments?
After my lesson,
I want to chat with my tutor and apologize.
Yes?
Then,
Your Highness!
Today, I will learn about literature and show my respect for my tutor,
and do my best to learn.
Please forget about how I acted previously, and please accept my greeting.
It seems like the Crown Prince has finally met a good teacher.
Hence, my brother,
that amazing Crown Prince,
surrendered to the literature tutor, right?
Princess, your laughter is too loud.
Please lower your voice. Please.
The tutor is a special person.
I have to see his face.
I'm going to give him an award.
Princess, you're not planning on seeing a man outside your family,
- are you? - As well as,
I am going to tell him that I answered that hard riddle, too!
Princess. Princess!
Princess! Aigoo, Princess!
Princess!
Princess. Princess.
Princ...
There is something I am curious about.
Please ask.
If I had actually answered correctly,
were you planning on giving up your position?
Do you think I wasn't prepared to do something like that?
I only viewed you as a pedant, but you're stronger than you seem.
Actually, my younger sister gave me the strength.
If you act like a tongue inside his mouth, what isn't there that you cannot do?
So even though the Crown Prince's attitude for learning is reckless,
you'll just need to give him excellent grades.
There was such an easy solution.
But how long will that gratitude go,
since you didn't gain his heart sincerely.
What is the point in that?
That is also true.
The road to being a treacherous subject is easy,
and the road to being a loyal subject is hard,
but shouldn't you think about what's better for the Crown Prince first?
Be a disloyal subject and gain his hypocritical heart,
or be a loyal subject and receive a possibility of his trust.
Is that what you mean?
The Crown Prince is a wise man.
Though he has a misunderstanding about you,
he will realize your loyalty eventually.
So please have strength, Brother.
She is quite a smart person.
How old is your sister this year?
She is 13.
13?
Then, you discuss your worries with your younger sister?
Your Highness, the tea is getting cold.
Drink it before the smell and taste dissipate.
Oh, right.
Tutor Heo, please have some as well.
Then, the person who scolded me today is not you,
but your sister. Isn't that right?
That's true.
Then, the person who has the right to eat this precious taffy
is also your sister, right?
- Yes? - Hyung Sun.
Yes, Your Highness
Wrap this black taffy.
I have to present this to my hidden tutor,
not Tutor Heo who is in front of me right now.
Hyung Sun.
Yes, Your Highness.
Can you believe that a 13 year old said those wise things?
If it is Tutor Heo's sister, then I think it would be possible.
Tutor Heo became a top literary scholar
- at the age of 17- - What did you just say?
Tutor Heo won a first place at the state examinations?
When? When did he?
This past examinations.
I am just here to attend my brother's top literary scholar award ceremony.
Why are you telling me that now?!
Why now?
When I tried to tell you last time, you told me: "Shut your mouth".
"I can't trust the information you bring me."
"Shut your mouth immediately."
The Crown Prince did?
Yes. He said a present for his tutor and gave it to me.
If you say seok soo*, (*A gift presented to a teacher)
then it's yours.
Then why are you giving it to me?
Well,
that's because I told him that you gave me the strength to lecture him.
What?!
A... And?
He said the real teacher was you, not me, and took care to give this to you.
He didn't say anything else?
Well, nothing really in particular...
Oh!
He asked if the riddle was your idea, as well.
Riddle?!
Yes.
I actually gave His Highness a riddle.
Oh, yes.
But,
why do you seem so unsettled since earlier?
What?
Oh... It's nothing.
Did you solve the riddle that I gave you?
Are you really...
the Crown Prince?
Well...
What do you think?
I... wish that you're not.
Why don't you try one.
Is it delicious?
It's very delicious.
The fact that you gave this to me...
does that mean you have forgiven me?
If not...
Are you trying to scare me?
Please tell me...
what you mean.
He cannot neglect his ministers like this!
Who are the ones who protected the king in the past?
Who should he be thankful for being able to reign right now?
All of this is because of the Queen Mother
and you, the Minister of Personnel, isn't it?
Every year, we hold a unity meeting for the ministers
who have done meritorious service for the king,
but how can he exclude the ministers from this?
If it was going to be a precedent,
then the Minister of Personnel would be in the leading position.
Heo Young Jae...
we have to get rid of him first.
Ever since he became the Chief Scholar, the Three Offices have united.
The King's advisors in the Three Offices have started to voice their own opinions.
With them sending appeals to the King daily, renouncing his distinguished relatives,
it is not unthinkable that His Majesty's devotion would begin to slant.
That's true.
With this tutor appointment, the fact that his son was chosen,
it's the king's way of giving him more power, don't you agree?
If we don't do something to take care of him...
If we do that,
there's only blood that will be on that hand.
Then, is there another solution?
When they gain one position,
another will become useless.
What's the point of rushing?
- You're back, Father. - Why did you drink so much?
Tell the chef to make some honey water and bring it to him.
- Yes. - Let us go. Aigoo!
You...
Do you want to go see the palace?
- What? - If you want,
I can have you live there.
Queen's father.
The father of the queen.
Why do you need a letter paper suddenly, Young Miss?
- Do you plan on writing a letter? - Not a letter,
- but an apology letter. - What?
Why are you writing an apology on such expensive paper?
You can just go in person and apologize till your hands become raw.
It's because he's not a person I can see whenever I please.
Well, is the person His Highness or the Crown Prince?
Jeez, just say an apology or get hit a few times.
I don't care if I am physically punished,
but I'm afraid that something may happen to my brother.
I'm sorry, Young Miss.
I'll just be a minute. I want to go to the blacksmith.
Just a minute!
Have the two of you really done something wrong?
Ow.
Young Miss. Young Miss.
Where do you keep your eyes?!
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Are you alright, Young Miss?
Where are you touching with your dirty hands?
It's fine, Nanny. It's not like this child did it on purpose.
You seem like you're in a hurry.
I'm fine, so get along.
Thank you. Young Miss, thank you!
Oh yes. Here you go. Good bye.
We're here to pick up the hair piece that we ordered the other day.
Yes, hold on a moment.
- What's wrong, Nanny? - The purse...
Young Miss, just wait a bit, okay?
It's dangerous, so go over there.
Ahjussi, even with things like that,
don't you make weapons? The ones that fighters use!
W... why are you...
- doing this? - Do you really not know why?
- Hand over the purse. - What purse?
Do you think I wouldn't know?
You bumped into the miss and pretended to dust her off and stole the purse!
I didn't steal it.
Have you ever seen such a treacherous wretch before?
Will you hand it over if you have thief written on your face?
Where is it? Where did you hide it?
I didn't steal it!
- I didn't do it! - Stop it, Nanny.
Young Miss.
There are a lot of people watching, how can you act so irrationally?
Please believe me, Young Miss. I didn't steal it.
Alright. You're saying you're innocent, right?
Yes.
Then...
Prove it.
That you're not a thief.
Enough looking at the flowered paper.
Why should you put a flower pattern on an apology?
For the King...
down here, this paper with the four gracious plants
- is... - I said it's not the King,
so why do you keep saying that?
Then, is it the Crown Prince?
Oh, it must be the Crown Prince then.
Then it's even better.
I am the Crown Prince's hyung.
The Crown Prince's tastes, let's see.
But...
What did you do wrong that you're writing an apology?
Wow!
This is a greenhouse, isn't it?
Oh, you know!
I've only seen them in books. It's my first time seeing it, actually.
That lattice window is made with oil based paper.
It's to let in the sun and block out the wind, right?
Wow!
Is this yours?
Among my kinsmen, there's a man who is obsessed with vegetation.
Since he can't obtain a government office,
he was sulking about and wasted his money to make this greenhouse.
The reason why my brother has to live like that... is because of me.
I don't know if he's worried about my father,
but it's been a long time since he has come to see me.
Thanks to that man, I borrow this place once in a while.
It's the perfect place to dry wet clothes, right?
Prince Yang Myung,
I've heard it's been a long time since you've gone to the palace.
Here, what do you think of this?
This chrysanthemum is the one flower that the King likes,
so at every event it is always included.
If this is it, won't it be better than an apology letter?
What kind of a person is the king?
I'm curious about what kind of a person he is.
Um, well...
What kind of a person should I say he is?
The King...
is a man whose face is bright like January.
He always contemplates about what he has to do for the citizens and his officials.
You're very arrogant!
For an illegitimate prince,
why are you trying to learn the road to becoming king?!
Though he is severe, he is a free person.
Oh, my Crown Prince has come.
I heard that you finished your literature studies quickly.
For the teachers and tutors who taught the Crown Prince well,
I will give a big reward.
Well anyway, he's an amazing person.
Are you not going to the palace?
I heard that you haven't been there since your return from your journey
Did you hear from Yeom?
No. I just think he's waiting for you.
Who is waiting for me?
The Crown Pri...
No. I mean,
The King is waiting, and the Crown Prince, as well.
They are busy people. Do you think they'll have time to wait for me?
They are waiting for you.
For someone who writes poetry, do you not know what longing is?
When the fires in our bodies become sick, it becomes longing.
Why then do you think...
the Crown Prince tried to climb over a wall?
Then...
When I scale your wall in the dark, you must understand.
This and that are two different...
How are they different?
An... Anyway,
go pay your respect and greet them a day sooner.
I'm being serious. Why are you laughing at me?
It's been a long time,
since you've stared at me in the face and talked to me for a long time.
Thank you for your warning,
but you should worry about yourself.
Tell me who your master is!
That way I can get the money that you stole!
Why can't you tell me who your master is?
Oh, you and your master are working together, right?
You wretch!
Before I hand you over to the police, talk!
You wretch!
Then why didn't you watch where you were going.
I'll make you open your mouth.
If you thought you'd be safe after you soiled my favorite clothes,
then that's a big mistake.
- Did you say stealing? - Yes.
Of all people, she touched the Minister of Personnel's belongings.
She was going to be dragged to the government officials and have thief engraved in her face,
but the young miss barely ended it and took her to their house.
You wretch.
- Bring the straw mat! - Yes.
Seol!
Young Miss.
Are you okay? Are you alright?
What are you doing?
Even if she did do something wrong, how can you do this to a person...
What is the commotion about?
Excuse me.
I am the Chief Scholar's daughter, Heo Yeon Woo.
I heard that my maid stole your purse.
I think that there's a mistake here.
What do you think you're doing? I told you to find out the truth.
- Who told you to punish her like this? - But...
You said to beat her to the brink of death earlier, Young Miss.
I'm sorry, Young Miss.
You told me to send her back but my anger did not subside, so...
You're apologizing to the wrong person!
I'm sorry.
No matter how much I asked, she wouldn't say whose maid she was.
The ignorant servants did this without knowing, so please forgive us.
It's hard to control those who work for us.
However, her habit of stealing is not being fixed.
So before she becomes a bigger thief,
I think it'll be a good idea to sell her.
In any case, the money you lost,
- I'll send someone to pay... - There's no need for that.
Since we made a mark on your belonging, let's forget this happened.
Young Miss.
This child is not a thing that you buy and sell,
but my friend and my family.
What?
For me, though there is no division between the nobles and the commoners,
I believe that there is a division in personal affairs.
Though I do not know how much money you have lost today,
do you think it'll amount to the hurt that this child received today?
What did you say?
So, as I understand that you're sending her back,
then I will take her home.
Let's go, Seol.
Are you okay?
What kind of girl...
This is my sister's present for sending her the black taffy.
It looks like it's a plant, but what did she plant?
I'm not sure of that, either.
It looks like it's a seed that she got from a greenhouse.
She said if you grow it on a heated floor, it will have the effects of a greenhouse.
- Then, shall we start cla... - Tutor Heo,
- what kind of person is your sister? - What?
She listens to your problems and gives solutions,
so it's obvious that she's a wise girl.
Exactly, what kind of person is she?
Your Highness, it's time to take part in Sayeon*. (*Discussions about writings)
It's because your brother-sister relationship is special, so I am envious.
Every night, I read a book with my sister
and there are a lot of opportunities for us to discuss many things, so...
You read books with your sister?
Yes, that's correct.
Since she was young, she was a child who enjoyed reading books more than my seniors,
so I have a lot to learn from her, as well.
She's the complete opposite of my sister, Princess Min Hwa.
That child only knows the alphabet and she is such a crybaby!
Min Hwa...
- look at the way you look. - Brother, I hate you!
What are you doing right now?
- Why are you doing this? - You're saying bad things about me
...especially in front of him! I hate you. I hate you. I hate you!
The Crown Prince is lying to you. I'm not a crybaby, but a pure-hearted lady.
I've nearly finished memorizing the alphabet.
I understand.
I understand your words perfectly, Princess,
so please stop crying now.
If you continue, your beautiful face will become ruined.
I'm beautiful?
What?
Am I really beautiful?
Miss! Princess! Take her away now.
Look at this handwriting, Hyung Sun.
How can you say that a 13 year old girl wrote this?
It's amazing that there's a girl who knows Chinese characters,
but this girl's handwriting is amazing, as well.
But, what is the content like?
This is Yi Gyu Bo's* verse. (*Goryeo Statesman/Minister)
A monk who lived in the mountains
wanted to have the moonlight.
So he gathered the moonlight in a bottle.
He went back to the temple and realized
that when the bottle was emptied,
the moonlight is gone.
A bottled up moonlight...
is impossible to have.
What would be the point of remembering a young girl's mistake?
Please forget about what happened at Eunweol Pavilion.
I'm repenting.
It seems like she has already solved the riddle I have given her.
Forget?
I thought she was wise, but she's foolish, isn't she?
How can I forget about you?
Princess! Princess. Princess!
- Father! - Oh...
It's Princess Min Hwa.
Father, are you in good health today, as well?
Now that I have seen my Princess Min Hwa,
any illness I may have had are all gone!
Then why has my princess come all the way to the Palace Hall?
Father, I want to learn to read, as well.
Oh! My Princess has become interested in learning words?
Yes! I want to learn from the Crown Prince's tutor, as well.
Are you referring to Tutor Heo?
Yes.
You can't.
Why is it impossible?
He is the Crown Prince's teacher.
- Learning from the Crown Prince's teacher... - I don't like that!
- I will learn from Tutor Heo! - How could you?!
Didn't I say no?
There are some things you can have and others that you cannot.
Please kill me.
A book boy?
Yes, Your Highness.
Just as a book boy was used to prepare a prince to become the Crown Prince,
prepare one for the princess as well
by choosing a daughter of the ministers.
How about choosing out of the daughters,
one who is personable and smart?
Normally, only the Crown Prince had someone to accompany him.
Although this has never been done before,
for the Princess's learning, it may not be a bad idea.
Then, is there a lady who's recommended?
When considering age and morality,
the Minister of Personnel's daughter is worth recommending.
The Minister of Personnel's daughter, that's good.
Then, what about bringing in the Chief Scholar's daughter as a book girl, as well?
The Princess's book girl?
Yes.
Every three days, you will accompany the princess
and listen to the Queen's teachings with her.
Do you want to try?
Entering the palace?
You don't want to?
That's not it.
If it's not something you want, tell me.
I will tell His Majesty.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Why? Yeon Woo does not want to be a book girl?
She said she would.
Then why?
The palace is a place where you have to be cautious of every step you take.
To bring two of our children into a place like that doesn't make me comfortable.
She's just going to become the Princess's companion.
If there are no hidden causes, then nothing can be done.
Are you saying there's a hidden reason for being a book girl?
You're just over thinking.
She's a young girl who doesn't know politics.
I'm uneasy about this.
Very uneasy.
Our Yeon Woo was born with a noble fate.
Someone once said that she'll risk her life for hers.
Who said that?
Someone said that, so don't worry.
You should go in and sleep.
Ari, have you been well?
I'm sorry I couldn't visit often.
My life is until now...
You have to live and protect that child, instead of me.
Tell me, Ari.
Who is the child that I have to protect?
Princess Min Hwa is still childish, so I am worried.
Don't worry.
Once she spends time with the ministers' daughters, she will start to mature.
Queen Mother, Seongsucheong's shaman has arrived at the palace not too long ago.
Oh, is that so? It seems like she hurried here.
If it's Seongsucheong's shaman,
then are you imploring on an ivy to bring good fortune to your family?
I had her come to look at the children's physiognomy who will become the book girls.
Why the book girls' physiognomy?
In any case, they are children we are bringing into the palace, aren't they?
Caution. You must be cautious.
Who knows?
If amongst the two, there might be one who will become the Crown Prince's wife.
What?
From now, you will have a lot of responsibilities.
If she goes near the sun, she will face disaster.
She is a child whose fate forces her to stand by the sun's side.
Please protect her and make sure she is safe.
There are two moons.

Two moons... Two suns...
What kind of joke is faith playing?
Can it be that I can see her again?
Please escape.
This isn't a fate that the young miss can handle.
Don't let there be any more connection between you two.
Do you know who I am?
You are this country's...
Crown Prince,
Lee Hwon.
