My wish is to be able to protect the people I love.
She has no choice but to go to the Qing.
The Prince's installation to be a crown prince is on the line.
Princess.
What is your wish?
"What is your wish?"
It is a secret.
I can make it happen. Tell me.
"I can make it happen."
"Tell me."
May I tell you about my wish first?
My wish is to live with you for the rest of my life.
Please go ahead and translate that for me.
What is it?
- Master Gyun. - Gyun Woo.
I cannot translate that.
I cannot...
translate that.
You are right.
I should tell it to her myself.
Princess,
I will keep my wish as a secret for a little longer.
Goodnight, Princess.
"Goodnight, Princess."
Why do we not have another drink?
I am thinking about hosting a banquet.
I will tell them to prepare in accordance.
I intend to propose to the Princess at it.
You should help.
I would like to tell her myself...
in your language.
I cannot translate that.
Da Yun.
Why is she playing so hard to get?
It is like she is teasing my heart.
She wants to do whatever she would like to do.
Gyun Woo?
You annoying punk.
You are drunk. Stop picking on others and go home.
Stop right there.
I said stop!
Gosh, it hurts.
I told you to stop picking on me.
Do you think I would give up?
I will never give up like this!
I will do whatever it takes to stop you from having her.
Master Doggy.
What should I do?
"You will be able to see..."
"the murderer of Min Yoo Hwan..."
"if you go the temple at 10pm on the last day of this month."
Watch carefully.
If the information is true,
there will be some kind of move before the last day.
Yes, master.
You will throw a banquet?
He wants to invite all the officials...
as he will make a huge announcement.
Help the Prince of Qing so that he will not have any problems...
when preparing for the banquet.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
A banquet all of a sudden?
It does not feel right.
I get it! It is to propose to Your Highness!
No way.
That will not happen. Right.
Tell me anything you need.
It will be a special day for both you and the Princess.
It must be as grand as possible.
He is willing to help prepare for the banquet...
as it will be a special day for you and the Princess.
I want her to be deeply satisfied as it will be her day.
He wants everything to be...
in favor of the Princess since it will be her day.
We shall discuss to make everything...
in favor of the Princess.
They will try their best.
Thank you in advance.
He thanks you in advance.
Let us go together.
- Let us go. - Okay.
He looks quite close with others.
He has been here many times already...
as a messenger.
It is ready.
Good. I got it.
What is this?
Open it, Your Highness.
Do you like it?
You can see a far object as if it is near by.
You showed a similar one to me before.
I am not interested.
Are you that sad to send your sister off to Qing?
My late mother was also from Joseon.
He says his mother was also from Joseon.
She missed Joseon a lot.
So she would tell me about it quite often.
However, it does not...
mean that she was not happy in Qing.
She thought it was good for her...
to come to Qing...
because she was deeply loved by my father.
I will try to be that kind of husband to the Princess.
I will love and adore her...
so she will always feel happy.
We will visit Joseon often even after marriage.
I am not trying to take her away forever...
so please do not get upset.
I am not sure what I should prepare for her wedding gift.
She will be leaving soon after the banquet, you know.
I have so much to prepare for her leaving.
I guess you care very much for her wedding.
I am her mother after all.
- By the way, - Yes, Your Highness.
You look somewhat pleasant and happy.
Others may think you are very excited to send her off.
That is not true.
My heart breaks due to the sadness,
but I should prepare everything perfectly for my daughter's...
You are going too far.
- Pardon? - When you are that sad,
you should behave accordingly.
My apologies.
That old bag.
You should be more careful until the Princess leaves.
It will not do any good for you to lose her favor.
Until when...
must I mind that old bag?
Hold it in for a little more while, Your Highness.
All right.
Let us get rid of the Princess first.
Let us do it step by step.
It is so pretty.
Have you heard?
The Prince of Qing is throwing a banquet soon.
The Princess will be leaving to the Qing soon.
I heard Master Gyun is in charge of the reception.
What is wrong about it?
He must be heartbroken.
He is marrying his lover off.
What lover?
I told you many times. My brother and the Princess are not dating.
If you keep on spreading that ridiculous rumor...
It is not a ridiculous rumor.
I saw it all.
Saw what?
I saw them going into the bookstore together.
That is not true.
I saw them too.
Right, we saw them too.
Me too.
Hyo Jin.
Does your father work for the Capital District Office?
Why do you ask?
I just heard there is a vacant position in Jeju Island.
Sun Kyung and Bo Young.
Where does your father work?
I...
have someone to get married to.
He wants everything to be...
What is wrong with him?
Is it because of the Prince of Qing?
- It is because of the Princess. - They are the same.
Goodness.
Why do we not go for a drink?
- Or to the kisaeng's parlors. - You punk.
I am not doing it for my sake.
I am doing this to make him feel better.
Forget it all.
Half of the people in the world are women.
It is the royal marriage.
There is nothing you can do about it.
My gosh.
Why are you so late?
What? Is something wrong?
Master Jung invited you to his house.
Master Jung?
Do not expect too much.
I'm just meeting him to check things out.
Hello, master.
Please go in. He is waiting for you.
Master Gyun?
How is the reception going?
Is everything all right?
Yes.
I am grateful that you have given me...
a valuable opportunity.
The royal marriage depends on this event. Please keep up the good work.
By the way,
I intend to ask you a question.
Who requested a royal marriage...
with the Princess?
Why do you ask?
It is just out of curiosity.
Curiosity.
I apologize if I went too far.
I would like to answer, but I know nothing.
Shall I get to the point now?
I invited you today...
because I intend to promote you...
after the reception.
What do you mean?
I intend to give full support on your career.
I learned to behave right and walk on the right path.
Thank you for the offer, but I would have to refuse.
You are the son of Director Gyun indeed.
I shall leave you if you are done.
Do you feel uncomfortable around me?
The subjects say...
there is Master Jung above the King.
I took it as an irreverent rumor,
but seeing how you offer full support on my career,
you seem like you believe that rumor more than anyone else.
It makes me a little uncomfortable.
Master Gyun.
I am on my way to serve you the lotus leaf wine.
Why are you out already?
I will see you later.
Father.
Yes.
He is worth desiring for.
However,
the fish that lives in clear water tends to be bony.
I will have to see more if he is okay to be your husband.
Woo. What did Master Jung say?
Does he support Da Yun and you?
I will keep this from your father.
So tell us.
Right. We are so curious.
It was nothing.
So tell us.
He would not have invited you at night without any matter.
Tell us.
Was it about your marriage?
Mother.
Tell you what?
Nothing.
Right, Father. It is nothing.
Right, Woo?
I will go in first.
Nothing.
Master Gyun was meeting Master Jung?
Yes, Your Highness.
It was Master Jung's recommendation to be in charge of the reception.
He is acting strange.
Does that mean he is Master Jung's person now?
But that is how it seems.
It is not the first time the officials betray over power.
They are like bats.
Why do you not just make a hole on my body?
Hit it harder.
Continue watching Master Jung.
Yes, Your Highness.
Hye Myung.
Prince.
What brings you here at this night?
I missed you.
I heard the Prince of Qing's mother is from Joseon.
Did you know?
Really?
He wants someone like his mother to be his wife.
That's why he has been wanting to marry a Joseon woman.
How did you know?
He told me himself.
He does not seem like a bad person.
Right, he is nice.
So...
do not worry about your sister now.
Still, I...
like Master Gyun more.
Can you not marry Master Gyun?
I want you to marry him.
Then you will not have to go to the Qing.
- And... - Prince.
Okay.
I would have regretted greatly if I turned down the invitation.
They said the Qing suggested the royal marriage.
He has been here many times already...
as a messenger.
Do not go.
Do not.
Woo, are you awake?
Son.
Woo.
Son, are you okay?
Yes, I am okay.
You look so drained.
Should we not call a shaman?
Your herbal tonics are not working well.
You have been having nightmares, right?
- What is this about? - Stop talking nonsense.
Look at all this sweat.
Do not worry.
What should we do?
Woo has been acting strange these days.
He keeps having nightmares.
Like then.
