Episode 12 You've done so much in order to help me.
And you've saved my life so many times, too.
Young Master Gyeon, I am quite...
thank... thank...
thankful to you.
What are you doing in my room alone?
Well, um, that is...
A... a book!
I... I came here because I wanted to borrow a book.
Um, don't worry about me and just do what you want.
But aren't you doing this so that I do worry?
Geez, you're so sensitive.
What? What do you want?
Um...
You're holding that upside down.
Um, I'll be borrowing this.
Sure, go ahead.
U-um...
I don't think this book will be suitable.
Well, then...
[Men Over Flowers]
Take this book instead.
It's a book based on popular rumors, so you will surely enjoy it.
Is... there anything that you need?
No!
Thank you.
Really, thank you so much.
Um, Your Highness.
If there is anything that I did wrong, please, just hit me.
Just kill me instead!
Thank you so much.
I committed a sin deserving death, Your Highness!
Nice.
I'm going to borrow this, Young Master Gyeon.
Yes, go ahead.
What... is something...
Is Her Highness inside?
She is, but her heart is quite troubled.
I think that she needs some rest.
Is that right?
I was thinking of having a drink with her since the moon is so bright tonight.
Oh, I see.
She promised to quit drinking, so she definitely won't--
Just one drink is okay!
The way that the king looked at me wasn't the way he usually looks at me.
I trusted the Minister of the Left and went into the princess's room!
And yet, I am the only one who seems to be losing the king's favor!
Please calm down, Your Highness!
How could I possibly be calm right now?
He's even covering up for the princess when she's run off
and yet, I've only irritated His Majesty!
Your... Your Highness!
Get me the Minister. Now!
Y-Yes, Your Highness!
What do you mean, a trap?
I think that someone plotted to have the princess leave the palace.
Do you think that it's... them?
I don't know how they got the princess to leave.
I wonder what could've possibly made her disobey me and leave the palace.
I wonder if it may be because of Master Min.
Are you talking about... Min Yoo Hwan?
The princess was quite close to Master Min, after all.
Your Majesty.
Jung Ki Joon, the Minister of the Left, is here.
Oh, so is this where you two were?
What brings you here so late at night, Minister?
I came because I had something to tell His Majesty.
I thought you said that you'd only have one shot.
You'll get drunk at this rate.
Well, people drink to get drunk, after all.
Is there something you wanted to say to me, by any chance?
What do you mean?
If you do, don't worry and go ahead.
Young Master Gyeon.
What is it that you want to say?
Thanks.
Pardon?
Never mind if you didn't hear me!
Oh man, I'm getting so drunk! I'm getting so drunk!
Damn it!
Your Highness!
Why... is your face so flushed?
Did you catch a cold?
It's... it's because I drank alcohol.
That trick may work on the king, but your complexion looks fine to me.
So what on earth are you talking about?
If I say it's because of alcohol, it's because of alcohol!
W-what are you looking at? Don't look at me!
Look over there!
What, huh?
Young Master Gyeon.
Thank you.
Young Master Gyeon.
Thank you.
Young Master Gyeon!
Thank you.
What is it that you wish to talk to me about?
It pertains to the princess.
What do you mean, it's about the princess?
My daughter said that she saw the princess at the Sky Lantern Festival.
And I already punished her for that, didn't I?
This isn't merely a matter of her climbing over the wall.
She consorted with men, drinking with them
and screaming obscenities while conducting herself disgracefully.
Furthermore, she even harassed some of the noblemen's daughters
and assaulted them!
It seems that the flyers were not entirely filled with lies.
What is it that you want to say?
Bring her back to the palace. Then hurry and marry her off.
That is the only way you will be able to protect the princess.
Protect the princess?
The citizens' disdain and anger toward the princess pierces the skies!
If you keep covering for her
surely you will not be able to stop them from despising you either.
Lately, I keep remembering what happened 10 years ago.
I am merely hoping...
that you do not make the same mistake you made 10 years ago, Your Majesty.
Her body was damaged quite a bit, due to having been attacked by wild beasts.
And this is all that she left behind.
You can...
leave now.
Do you understand now
just who the true master of this country is?
You don't appear to be well. I think you should get more rest--
Is the princess all right?
Yes.
That's good enough for me.
You're not going to see her?
Don't say anything about this to the princess.
Let's go, Teacher Gyeon.
Are you up now--
Goodness, you startled me!
What the... why are you here?
About last night...
What do you want now? What happened last night?
I was so drunk that I don't remember anything!
No, I just wanted to ask if you got a good night's rest last night.
Well... um... of course I slept well.
I didn't sleep that well.
Hi, Yellow!
Oh, his name is Teacher Gyeon.
Teacher Gyeon?
He looks just like "Yellow," seeing as how he's so yellow.
He is a precious friend given to me by the king of China.
So please, mind your manners.
A dog is just a dog.
Teacher Gyeon is no ordinary dog!
The thing about my Teacher Gyeon is...
he was given a nobleman's title as soon as he was born in the king's court
and was cared for by 4,000 eunuchs.
He enjoyed ocean fish and swallows' nests collected from near the ocean
the Analects of Confucius and the Myeongsim Bogam!
He truly is the finest among the finest dogs!
Wow, really?
I apologize for not recognize your greatness sooner, Teacher Gyeon.
Is that what you thought I would say?
The Analects of Confucius and the Myeongsim Bogam?
What kind of sheer nonsense is that?
Teacher Dog.
Shall the two of us take a walk together too, then?
I told you, his name is Teacher Gyeon! Teacher Gyeon!
All right, Young Master Dog!
Young Master Dog?
Oops, my mistake. I got you two mixed up.
This is my friend's home!
I'm telling you, he'll explain everything once we're inside!
- Hey! - Move!
- Stop! - I'm Jang Se Ho! Jang Se Ho!
- Gyeon Woo! - Gyeon Woo!
Why are you two here?
Look here, friend!
See? Isn't it clear that we're friends?
Why are you here so early in the morning?
We're here to see the princess.
It's my one lifelong dream to meet the princess just once, after all.
But you didn't invite us, so we had no choice but to drop by.
Yeah? Let's go in!
- Where is she? Huh? - Let's go in!
Go home.
Right now, the princess is--
- Hey, come on. - Oh, Miss Hyemyeong! Miss Hyemyeong!
- Huh? - Miss Hyemyeong!
Um, long time no see.
But, um, why are you at Gyeon Woo's house, Miss?
Hey, explain to me what is going on here!
Don't misunderstand. It's not like that--
Princess!
Prin... cess?
Princess?
Oh, just call me Hyemyeong.
Gyeon Woo.
Oh my! How nice to see that again!
You carried this around a lot last year, didn't you?
You carried it around so often that I thought the king himself gave it to you.
Oh, goodness. This looks amazing!
Right? A master pursemaker from China--
It looks so comfy that it'd be perfect to take when you're going grocery shopping!
I bought the cook at our household one of these.
But, um, where is that from?
It looks like it's from the Goryeo Era!
You're right!
I heard this is the purse that a queen in Goryeo used.
Restored items are coming back into style nowadays, after all.
And it's quite precious, so it was very expensive.
But my son is just so filial to me!
No wonder the princess likes him so much. It's because he's so kind.
What do you mean, the princess?
There are lots of rumors about how your son will become the king's son-in-law!
And that's why he sent her away to your household, too.
Truly, congratulations!
That's just a nonsensical rumor.
A man and a woman are residing under the same roof
so there's no way that nothing at all will happen.
And they could end up growing attracted to each other because of this!
I told you, all of that is just nonsense!
How dare you!
You'd better watch your tongues.
Here.
No, I can't! I'm going to get fat! I'm not going to eat this.
Suit yourself, then.
Maybe I should have just one bite, then?
Foods like this won't make you gain weight!
Yeah, I haven't been eating dinner lately either, so just one of these is...
You people are ruining my household!
Um, I didn't eat all these!
Where is the princess?
She went outside with Young Master Gyeon.
With my Gyeon Woo?
Where did they go? Huh?
Hurry up and find them
instead of shoving all those sweet potatoes in your face!
Ugh, this is driving me crazy!
Find them!
I told you, I didn't eat any!
"The Lover from the Stars" goes here.
And "Men Over Flowers" goes here!
And "Descendant of the Sun" is here!
Oh, welcome--
One nyang!
What is?
The late fee! How could you bring this back so late?
Are you trying to pick a fight with me?
It hasn't even been that long since we borrowed this!
So why are you charging us a late fee?
That's not my problem.
It's a popular new book! New book!
Um, is the handsome author inside?
The handsome author?
Who are you talking about?
Author Jang.
Oh, Young Master Se Ho?
Se Ho?
You think that Jang Se Ho is attractive?
Here, here, here. Come this way.
Oh, you're here, Young Masters?
Um, this is the library, and also the--
And also the place where some popular novels are written.
But, um, who is this beautiful lady?
She definitely looks familiar to me.
She's the... the... prin--
Um, she's Miss Hyemyeong. The one we were searching for.
Ah ha!
You are just as beautiful as I'd heard!
Her face is the face that graced that paper--
All right, then!
Give us some herbal tea, will you?
Um, sure.
And put an egg yolk in it too, okay?
But you know that, right? All right, then!
All right, then. Let's go inside.
Young Master Gyeon Woo was with the princess?
She's definitely not sick.
What a joke! She was laughing and having a great time with Young Master Gyeon Woo!
It was truly crazy!
This is a token of my affection.
It's beautiful!
Young Miss, just forget about him.
There are tons of rumors in town now saying that Young Master Gyeon Woo
will become the king's son-in-law soon!
The king's son-in-law?
Says who?
Has there ever been a time when I did not get what I wanted?
This is amazing!
How did you write so many books? What's your secret?
Well, um...
They are the products of the inspiration I get from beautiful women.
And thanks to you, I think I will be able to write up a storm tonight!
Yes.
Your Highness! Yes.
[The Secret Private Life of Her Highness, the Princess]
"The Secret Private Life of Her Highness, the Princess."
Oh, no, no! This is definitely not a work based on you, Princess!
It's just a novel. Please, do not misunderstand.
It's quite all right.
- You cannot! You cannot! - You cannot! You cannot!
Oh, I told you! It's fine!
I'm not such a conservative person!
You... could potentially not be all right after reading this.
What are you doing? You're making me more curious!
It's boring, Your Highness!
It's trash, Your Highness! It's a failed work of literature!
Kwang Soo wrote it! Please kill him!
I can't sleep if I'm curious, though!
But you may have more trouble sleeping if you do read it.
It seems that you've read it, Young Master Gyeon.
What do you mean? I don't read things like that!
Oh, you totally read it, didn't you?
This is why you're acting like this.
What's the matter?
Master Min.
You cannot, Your Highness.

[My Sassy Girl]
So you could not change the king's mind?
It's not over yet.
This is just the beginning.
I do not know why those people are targeting Min Yoo Hwan.
Make them disappear. Both the princess and Master Min.
I cannot put Master Min in danger.
It could be another trap!
I don't care if it is a trap, so let go of me!
A marriage proposal for the princess has come from the royal family of China.
The princess has disappeared.
What did you say?
Let me go, Young Master Gyeon. Please.
