[Episode 31]
Oh!
Look who it is.
Is it not the Minister of Government Administration?
Oh no, you're not.
You are just a regular citizen.
- You rascal! - Hey now.
How dare you speak to the Commissioner this way.
Stand back.
Please understand.
I have seen the way you have been behaving.
You are oblivious to what is going on and having your own fun.
That pack carrier boss that was in your team is now dead.
No, no, no... He's not a pack carrier boss.
The Crown Prince is dead.
You must be very upset now.
What are you talking about?
You rascal! Do not speak so carelessly.
I suppose you did not know. He is dead.
His guard is dead, as well.
You scoundrel!
Say that again.
How dare you speak that way?
Did you think you would be safe after refusing to obey Elder Dae Mok?
If you don't want to end up being crow food like the Crown Prince
go to Elder Dae Mok right now and...
You scoundrel!
Do you trust in Dae Mok's power so much to pull off such evil acts without fear?
When the world rights itself
the day will come when you will pay for your crimes.
I am not afraid of you at all!
Even if the Crown Prince passed away...
we will never leave you alone.
You wait and see.
For these insults you have said to me...
I will repay you soon.
Your Highness.
Your Highness!

Oh, what is that?
He's still alive.
Leave him be. He will die anyway.
Let's go.
This is Court Lady Min, who will serve you from now on.
It was not enough to confine me in this palace.
Even Court Lady Han was taken...
I will do my best to serve you, Dowager Queen.
Dae Mok!
He plans on cutting off all my hands and feet.
Does he think that I will beg for my life to a person like him if he does!
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
What has happened to the Minister of the Right?
Have you made sure to deliver the message that I wish to see him?
Yes, I delivered the message.
Then where is my brother?
Where are all of my people?
Elder Dae Mok.
Please accept us members of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Please accept us!
Please accept us.
Please accept us!
Search this place thoroughly.
Find anyone who is hiding here.
No one is here.
No one is here either.
Goodness, those rats.
I need to catch them and rip their mouths off.
Look again!
Yes, Sir!
We would've been dead if we were even a little too late.
Thanks to you, we saved our...
We will end up dying soon!
Stop drinking and think about how we can live.
I am drinking in order to live.
I just cannot live sober.
What would His Highness do if he were here?
- My lord. - Yes?
What would His Highness do if he were alive?
Thank you.
Live.
Drink this and live.
No.
You must drink some too.
My lord.
Is Young Miss Ga Eun really here?
The King would like to meet you before you meet Young Miss Ga Eun.
What? The... the King?
He wishes to meet lowly folks like us?
Yes. You will understand once you meet him.
Your Majesty, it is Hyun Seok.
Come in.
It is a gift for the hard work you have done.
Dae Mok would like you to know.
Tell them to come in.
Lift your heads.
Your Majesty.
How could we dare to do so?
All this time...
you have suffered greatly, have you not?
I have made you wait much too long.
I am sorry for that.
What do you mean by that?
Mother.
Lee... Lee Seon, Lee Seon.
Mother.
Lee Seon, Lee Seon!
Mom. It's me, Lee Seon.
Mom.
Mom?
Wiggly, say hello.
This is your brother.
Wiggly.
I know you, Mister.
We met once last time.
Do you remember that?
Yes, but are you really the King?
Yes.
I am the King of this nation.
Your Majesty, it is time for me to enter your private quarters.
What is the commotion?
You need to wait, Eunuch.
Like this moon that waits for the sun
I will always be with you.
- Young Miss! - Sis!
Auntie.
Young Miss.
You met him.
Young Miss.
Why is Lee Seon pretending to be the King?
He didn't tell you anything?
He told me...
I don't need to know anything.
He said I should not worry about a thing and live in the palace.
Young Miss.
I do not need wealth and prosperity.
If I could...
I want to ask him to leave with me right this instant.
Can't we do that?
The day it is exposed that my Lee Seon is a fake...
Oh my!
Wow, you have great fortune.
You must know how the world has changed.
This kind of thing is referred to as "justice will prevail."
"Justice will prevail."
His Majesty, the King, is entering.
Leave.
Auntie is very shocked.
Soon...
she will be fine with it.
She is very worried about you.
She is worried you might be exposed.
I... am fine.
Young Miss.
Tell me whatever you need.
I am not the same person I used to be.
I can do whatever you want.
Lee Seon.
Living like a King in this way...
is it better than living like you did in the past?
Living as a puppet-king doing whatever Dae Mok tells you to do?
Is it not difficult?
I am not a puppet.
I know what both you and my mother are worried about.
However...
I am not the same person I used to be.
I will avenge Elder Gyu Ho for you.
I will restore his status for you, too.
Lee Seon.
Why are you so surprised?
Do you think I'm unable to do what the Crown Prince was trying to accomplish?
He was merely the boss of pack carriers.
You think the King of the nation cannot do it?
If it is for you, Young Miss, I can do anything.
Lee Seon, don't do it.
Don't do anything.
Think about Auntie and Wiggly.
Young Miss.
Did you speak this way to the Crown Prince too?
Did you tell him not to do anything?
All you need to do is stay by my side.
I will show you how I will avenge your father.
Please wait and see.
So...
how was the King after receiving his gift?
He was extremely happy.
- And? - His voice got louder.
He started to act as if he were a real King.
Your Majesty.
As for the disloyal subjects who followed the Dowager Queen...
We will need to fill their positions with new people.
Please appoint a Minister of Government Administration and Head Prosecutor.
I plan to do so.
Then I will find some candidates and give you a list.
No, not you, Prime Minister.
I would like the Minister of the Left to take this task.
I would like some new people here.
Please find some talented personnel for me.
I accept your command, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, why did you ask to speak to me privately?
I do not know what your motive is.
You should not pull any tricks.
You know very well.
The government...
is controlled by the Pyeonsoo-hwe now.
I am only showing you some good will, Minister of the Left.
You could very well end up becoming my father-in-law.
Does that mean...
you are thinking of making my daughter the Queen?
It has already been decided that the Prime Minister's daughter will be Queen.
I may be a weak King, but a King is still a King.
There are some things only I can do.
The important thing to Elder Dae Mok is that a Pyeonsoo-hwe member becomes Queen.
It is not important who becomes Queen.
I put in my work to cut off the Dowager Queen's power.
"Allow me to choose the Queen."
I am thinking of putting in that request.
However, before I do
I have a favor to ask of you.
Give me your orders, Your Majesty.
There is someone I need to settle a debt with.
Will you help me, Minister of the Left?
Minister! What can I do for you?
Why did you ask me to come alone?
Is there some sort of secret business?
Or have you decided you want us to become in-laws?
Don't say such nonsense!
Why say such a thing for my daughter, who has a bright future?
What now? Nonsense?
What's wrong with my son?
Help me!
Do you know who I am?
Who else? The fake King.
How dare the fake King treat me this way.
I have been a loyal subject to Elder Dae Mok for a long time.
- If Dae Mok hears about this... - Begin.
No, no!
No, you can't! Let me go!
Why are you doing this to me?
What... what did I do wrong?
Now... do you know who I am?
You cannot remember me.
The things you did...
I remember them so clearly.
I just don't know why you are doing this to me.
But I am one of Elder Dae Mok's men.
If he finds out you people are doing this to me--
You and I are both Dae Mok's dogs.
Which of us do you think is more useful?
I may be fake, but I am a King.
Do you not think I am a more precious dog?
Take a good look at me.
You...
killed my father.
Just because he stole one pail of water.
You tortured him until he died.
You hung him from a tree.
That... that man...
You're the son of the water thief?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please spare me.
I will do whatever you tell me to.
I will become a dog if you say so or a pig if you say so.
Please just spare my life, Your Majesty!
From now on, I will not serve Elder Dae Mok.
I will serve you, Your Majesty!
You will serve me and not Dae Mok?
From now on...
my owner will be you, Your Majesty.
It is you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please save me.
You are my owner now, Your Majesty.
The King captured the Chief of Yangsucheong and tortured him?
He could not have done it on his own.
Someone had to have helped him.
It can't be... the Minister of the Left?
Is it not amusing?
That child is already trying to foster his own people.
Elder Dae Mok, I do not think it is a laughing matter.
I never liked him to begin with.
It may have been nothing, but I see ambition in him.
Do you think the Minister of the Left has no ambition?
What about the Chief of Yangsucheong?
If I got rid of all my men for ambition, who would I have left?
Still, Elder...
If I became weak, they would stab me in the back.
Right now, they are all beneath my feet, so I am fine with that.
People who show their ambition are easy foes.
People like the dead Crown Prince who overcame a hardship
and still produced flowers.
People who know how to win on their own...
People like that...
are difficult foes.
Hwa Goon, are you all right?
You did not wake up for three days.
Do you know how worried your father was?
About the Crown Prince...
I am sorry.
I truly did not know that my father would do that.
Now... I am all right.
I need to speak to Grandfather.
I have many things to organize.
I have been in bed too long.
I should go see Grandfather now.
Hwa Goon.
Hwa Goon, I do not think you are all right.
I think it would be best to rest for a while.
There are many more people who are taking the deadly flower pill.
We will be running low on pills.
We need more people to make the deadly flower pills.
I told the Chief of Yangsucheong to bring more children.
You are working hard.
I am the Chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Hwa Goon.
Do you still resent your grandfather?
Grandfather.
Have you had someone you cherish taken from you before?
I have.
What did you do back then?
I became stronger.
Then I took more from the person who took the person I cherished.
I see that I do take after you, Grandfather.

Hwa Goon is staying loyal to her work as Chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe as usual.
Are you not proud of her?
It is odd that she is acting "as usual."
Mister Jang!
Yes, Elder Dae Mok.
Send someone to watch over Hwa Goon whenever she leaves the house.
Yes, Sir.
Father.
The children are touching poison with their bare hands.
What are you all doing?
You... give these to the men in the prison.

The field of deadly flowers?
You want me to help you find the field of deadly flowers?
[Episode 32]
You remember where that place is, don't you, Father?
Please help save the children who are dying there.
What you're trying to do is futile.
The Crown Prince is already dead, after all.
So who will go to save those children?
I will save them.
You truly do not value your life, do you?
Father, you said that
we could only stay safe if a balance of power is maintained.
And because of that, we must not take anybody's side.
But, please, take a look.
We stood idly by and did nothing
and the world belongs to the Pyeonsoo-hwe and Dae Mok now.
Must we pathetically cling to life
just to not catch the attention of the Pyeonsoo-hwe?
I thought about it
and the deadly flower field can't be far from the capital city.
They would have issues with transporting if the field was far away.
And there's a risk that the goods would be stolen during transportation.
But if they had too many guards in case of thieves, they'd stand out too much.
Let's say that the field is close to the capital.
Even so, it'll take 10 years to search all the mountainsides near the capital!
That could be true. Or not.
But why are we just sitting here?
If we're caught by the Commissioner, our heads will be chopped off!
We must find the field of deadly flowers and secure it
in order to make an antidote.
If the Crown Prince were alive...
he definitely would've done this.
Geez, seriously!
Oh! Oh, goodness!
What brings you here?
And how did you know that we were here?
I didn't know. I came here in case you may be here.
Miss!
What are you doing under those blankets?
Huh? Well, that's..
Oh, a mouse! There was a mouse, so...
You're searching for something, aren't you?
And something quite dangerous, at that.
That's right.
We're looking for the Pyeonsoo-hwe's field of deadly flowers.
I believe that I can be of some help to you.
I am the one who drew this map.
What do you mean? How did you...
I was once a child who made the deadly pills, just like Yang.
I apologize for not having told you sooner.
[Kim Hyo Seok Im Sae Soon]
Officer Lee. Judge Hyun. Judge Kang Shi Won.
So it was true that all of these people were being controlled by Dae Mok.

[Queen]
Even... the Dowager Queen?
Who goes there?
Which unit are you from?
Stop right there!
There was an intruder at the deadly flower field?
Yes, Elder Dae Mok.
Who would dare intrude there, the lifeblood of the Pyeonsoo-hwe--
That flower field is the source of the Pyeonsoo-hwe's power.
However, if there is someone who wishes to take it for themselves
we must find them immediately and punish them.
Hwa Goon.
Yes, Elder Dae Mok?
Go to the field immediately and learn more about the intruder.
And protect it carefully so that nobody else will desire it for themselves.
Yes, Elder Dae Mok.
I'm sure that I told you never to appear before me again.
Now you're blatantly disobeying my commands like this?
What are you planning?
No matter what you may be planning or what you may do...
I will help you.
Could you betray Grandfather if I ordered you to?
Young Miss!
I've thought long and hard about what would truly be best for you.
However, I was not able to find the answer.
So please, order me to do whatever you may wish.
I will obey your every command.
I will be going to the field of deadly flowers, so make preparations.
What took you so long--
What happened to your face?
Well, that is--
Oh, it's nothing, sir.
- Check the numbers. - Yes, sir.
The tiniest spark can set off a raging fire
so be sure to discipline your men well.
Yes, Sir.
Hwa Goon!
Grandfather sent me to look into the intruder.
I'm sure it's nothing.
There have been instances in the past when hunters or farmers
stumbled across this place.
I see.
Today's the first day of the month, so I have to deliver the poison pills.
I'll be right back afterward, so take your time looking around.
All right. Have a safe trip.
Did anyone follow you?
No, My Lady.
You said that you would obey my every command, correct?
Yes.
Gon.
I will burn this entire field of flowers to the ground.
I, too, will take from Grandfather...
what he treasures most.
Are you with me?
Yes, My Lady.
Go and see if Chung Woon is truly being imprisoned here.
Yes, My Lady.
Your Highness.
I will put an end to this fight for you.
This is the last of my feelings that I am conveying to you.
You will soon be appointed as a royal concubine.
Therefore, His Majesty has sent clothes, accessories
ladies-in-waiting, and court ladies to serve you.
Elder Eunuch!
You will soon attain a much higher ranking
so please do not address me in such a respectful manner.
Elder Eunuch!
If you refuse to accept the clothes that the king has sent to you
all of us will be punished for the crime of having an inconsiderate master.
You're well aware of this too, aren't you, Young Miss?
We beg of you, Young Miss.
We used to float lotus lanterns together when we were young.
Do you remember that?
There is nobody here. I've already ordered it to be so.
I do remember.
I think I was around 10 years old or so.
I made a wish on the floating lotus lantern...
and followed the river that the lantern was traveling down.
Until I could not see the lantern anymore.
What wish did you make on that lantern, Young Miss?
I don't remember the wish I made.
I wished that I would be able to stand before you as a confident man.
I'd loved you since then-- no, no. Long before then.
It is safest within the palace walls, Young Miss.
But Lee Seon--
I only did this in order to deceive someone else, Young Miss.
I have no intention of taking you as my royal concubine.
Thanks, Lee Seon.
Is it... because of the Crown Prince?
It's all my fault.
It's my fault...
that the Crown Prince is dead.
That's not true.
It's my fault.
It is because of me that he is dead.
That's not true, Lee Seon.
Dae Mok would have placed a fake king in power
even if it weren't you in particular.
A fake.
That's right.
I am a fake king.
However, my feelings...
are genuine, Young Miss.
I've finished all of the preparations.
It is time.
Let us go save Chung Woon.
Who is the person who is imprisoned in there?
Tell me now!
Stop, Gon!
Head Merchant!
Your Highness!
You're alive!
Thank you...
for being alive.
What... brings you here, Head Merchant?
You're here to rescue Chung Woon, aren't you?
Chung... Chung Woon.
Chung Woon!
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
Is that... really you, Your Highness?
I'm sorry...
for getting here so late, Chung Woon.
I knew... that you would be alive, Your Highness.
Yes, Chung Woon.
Can you move?
One of my eyes may be in this state
but I'm still more skilled with a blade than you, Your Highness.
So do not worry.
But...
how did you find this place?
The place where the initiation ceremony took place
and the flower field are close enough to be connected by a secret tunnel.
I do not know how you survived, but...
The soldiers will be back here soon.
Your Highness.
this place is dangerous since there's no telling when the soldiers will come.
You must hurry and go--
I cannot leave alone.
I will leave this place after rescuing all of the children here.
I watched the children who make the poison flower pills.
They were handling the poison with their bare hands.
The poison seeps into their skin and makes red spots appear.
And eventually, every child who works here dies.
Am I correct?
Yes.
And when they die, their bodies are tossed aside
and new children are brought here to replace them.
Yes.
Why do they have to use...
young girls, of all people?
To damage the poison flower petals as little as possible
I was told that they use small, tender hands to pluck the petals.
After I drank the poison and passed out, they threw my body aside in the forest.
But that place...
is also where they toss the bodies of the young girls who die here.
A girl who was dying there gave me some water...
which was how I was able to survive.
I cannot delay and allow any more of those girls to die.
I must save them now.
Young Miss.
All right.
Please rescue the children.
I will distract the soldiers just in case.
The sun will rise soon, so please be careful.
Thank you, Head Merchant.
I will see you again at a later time.
Young Miss.
Will you truly be all right?
If those men release the girls, then...
Gon.
I will have to take control of the Pyeonsoo-hwe's soldiers.
You don't mean...
No, Young Miss!
If you use the whip for that man's sake, Elder Dae Mok will never forgive you!
Gon.
You will obey me, won't you?
Yes, My Lady.
Let's go.
Wait, wait! Don't be alarmed!
We're here to rescue you.
Um, children.
We're not Pyeonsoo-hwe soldiers, so you can rest easy.
Hurry and follow us!
Do any of you know a girl named Yang?
What is your name?
Woo Wol.
We are people who Yang sent here.
Yang asked us to rescue you all.
Won't you trust and follow me so that I can keep my promise to Yang?
Where is Yang now?
Yang is living a happy life with her parents.
We will take you to your parents as well, so follow us!
I'm sorry, Woo Wol.
I will tell you the truth.
To be honest, Yang is...
dead.
I know.
We die when the red spots appear on our bodies.
It's no use even if we eat the poison pills.
So why should we run when we will die anyway?
Because...
I do not wish to see all of you die.
Because I will do whatever I can to find a way to save you all.
Hey, everyone. Let's follow these guys and run away.
- Catch the intruders! - Run!
- Run, all of you! - Intruders!
Catch them!
Intruders! Catch them!
Damn it!
Intruders! Catch them!
Hurry and go! Hurry!
What are you all doing? Capture them!
Stop, all of you!
All of you are Pyeonsoo-hwe soldiers.
So all of you know the meaning of this whip, do you not?
Obey my command, all of you!
- Yes, ma'am! - Yes, ma'am!
Let those men pass.
But, Chief--
I am Dae Mok's granddaughter and the chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe!
You dare to defy my will?
Hurry and go.
Hey!
What are all of you doing?
What were you all doing instead of pursuing the intruders?
The chief told us to let them go.
What... did you say? The chief?
If she was going to die, she should've died quietly.
Hey, what are you doing? After them! Hurry!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
- Hurry and catch them! - Yes, Sir!
Young Miss!
This won't do. You go on ahead.
What about you, Head Merchant?
Leave this to me.
But...
you helped me in front of those men!
You'll be in danger, so let's go together--
I am Dae Mok's granddaughter, so I will surely be fine.
But...
My name...
is Hwa Goon.
You must remain safe...
Hwa Goon.
Your Highness! You must hurry!
I am happy to have met you, Your Highness.
- Gon. - Yes, Young Miss?
Follow them and protect the Crown Prince.
Make sure that he escapes safely.
I will remain by your side, Young Miss.
Do you plan to disobey me once more?
Yes, My Lady.
I will obey your command.
Damn it.
After them!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
- Catch them! - Catch them!
Oh, Hwa Goon!
Hwa Goon!
Protect the flower field, all of you!
Hurry and bring some water here! Hurry!
- Yes, Sir! - It's a fire!
It's a fire!
The fire is spreading!
It's a fire!
- It's a fire! - It's a fire!
It's a fire!
Extinguish the fire!
Hwa Goon.
In the end, you...
Young Miss.

[Ruler: Master of the Mask]
Say it once more.
I burned everything!
Do as you please since the real king is dead anyway.
Remember that I am the real king now.
I will have to prepare a punishment ahead of time.
I will take everything from the true Crown Prince.
I will not delay or hesitate any longer.
I plan to return to the throne as the Crown Prince now.
