You...
Do you recognize me?
Prince Eun Sung.
Ghost Mask is a younger brother of Prince Choo Seong.
I thought you died 10 years ago.
You survived like a rat.
You are a rat, not me.
That was quite a scene...
when you ran away, framing an innocent person.
It was nice meeting you in a while.
Goodbye.
What are you waiting for?
Kill everyone!
Drop your sword if you wish to live.
How dare you...
How dare you attempt to kill me?
Move aside.
I will kill...
anyone who blocks my way.
I said to step aside!
Is it why you killed them?
Whom are you talking about?
Prince Choo Seong?
Min Yoo Hwan? The Queen?
Yes, I killed them. I killed them all.
So what are you going to do?
Even the King himself cannot stop me!
Who says?
What?
How...
Stop.
Drop your sword, Jung Ki Jun.
It is over, Master Jung.
- I said to drop it. - Stop now.
Stop what?
What did I do so wrong?
I did it for the sake of this country.
To protect this country...
which my father's father's father built.
To set it right when you are ruining this nation,
trying to care for those ignorant peasants.
I sacrificed myself...
and volunteered to be the evil.
Did you say those ignorant peasants?
They make up this country.
Not me nor you. They make up Joseon Dynasty.
Everyone here makes up Joseon.
Sure.
This is why we can never...
be on the same side.
Your Highness.
- Move. - Let go.
Lieutenant Kang.
- Move. - Let go.
Are you okay?
What happened?
Master Jung confessed everything and died.
It is all thanks to Master Gyun.
Master Gyun?
What do you mean you will be a bait?
I will wear a Ghost Mask and make him confess.
- It is too dangerous. - That is why I am volunteering.
I want to pay for...
my sins against the King and the Princess.
I want to clear my father and friends' names.
If it were not for him,
we might have been fooled by Master Jung's tricks again.
Where is he now?
He must be with the King.
You are cooler.
You are beautiful.
Jung Ki Jun, Park Soon Jae, and Hwang Gu Sun...
slandered Prince Choo Seong and Lady Han.
They made up the flyers to denounce the Royal Family...
and faked the voice of the subjects.
They committed countless evil deeds.
Thus, the sinners will be deprived from their positions...
and put to death.
Also, all their family members will be demoted...
from their status to slaves.
They will also be deprived...
and be exiled to a remote area far away from the capital.
The weather is so nice.
Hey, I am back!
- Hello. - Look.
Look. What do you think about this drawing?
It looks beautiful.
It is such a nice day for a new start.
Those who needed to leave left, and those who needed to stay stayed.
- You went through a lot. - You too.
Let us display the books.
We need to sort them out in colors.
- This one is famous, so... - Hey.
Se Ho.
Mal Geum.
Goodness.
Mal Geum. I missed you so much.
You smell so nice.
How are you feeling?
I feel much better now.
Thank you.
Thank you for being alive.
Thank you...
for helping us punish Jung Ki Jun.
I thank you for everything...
and I am sorry.
It was something I was supposed to do.
I will discuss you and your brother's reinstatement soon.
Thank you.
Now,
my brother will finally be in peace.
What did you say?
You have not visited there for a while.
It is your promise with the subjects, so you should keep it.
We will accompany you.
Shall we?
What took you so long?
Young Sin, come and put these in.
What are you doing?
Mother.
Hye Myung.
Mother.
Are you...
really my mother?
I am sorry.
I am sorry...
Mother.
It still feels like a dream to me.
Where have you been all these years?
Prince Eun Sung helped me.
Your Highness.
Where are you? Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Prince Eun Sung.
My brother asked me to help you.
Your Highness, you need to hurry.
Let us go back now.
Mother.
Keep this with you.
I will not return to the palace.
I do not belong there.
Why do you say so?
The Prince.
Do you not miss him?
It is too late...
to show myself and tell him I am his mother.
That will only hurt and confuse him more.
Mother...
What do you mean?
I do not know what you are talking now.
- Hye Myung. - No.
No, Mother.
Please come with me.
Please take good care of the Prince.
Mother.
The Princess met her mother?
She does not wish to come back.
She must have been hurt a lot.
She is being...
considerate for her son.
Your Highness, you need to hear this.
The Prince went to Jungungjeon.
Prince.
Hye Myung.
Where is Mother?
Did you not say she was ill?
Did you not say it was why she could not see me?
Is she staying outside the palace?
Where is Mother? Tell me, Hye Myung.
I thought about it...
over and over last night.
I think...
I understand how you feel at least vaguely.
Thank you.
Can I...
visit you from time to time like this?
He seems to be a nice person.
Master Gyun, you know.
- Your Highness. - Do not call me like that.
The Princess misses you a lot.
She thinks I am dead anyway.
It will be better for her to think that way in her life.
It all started from my mistake.
Blame me...
and do not forsake the Princess.
He seems to care a lot for you.
I forgot about everything happened in the past.
So I hope...
you do not suffer from the incident anymore.
I will leave for Jeonju.
It will be uncomfortable for the King and the Princess...
if I continue staying in the capital.
I will order them to prepare for your move.
I am sorry, Father.
Woo, can I talk to you for a second?
Sure, come in.
Is something the matter?
Are you okay?
What?
I mean... If you leave for Jeonju,
you might not be able to see the Princess again.
I wonder if you will be all right.
Cheer up.
It is the dried persimmons I took from you last time.
Why did you not have it?
I am okay. You enjoy it.
Eating sweets is best when you feel down.
Thank you.
Cheer up, Woo.
Dried persimmons are good in treating insomnia.
Have one before you go to sleep.
So I hope...
you do not suffer from the incident anymore.
Master Gyun.
Hello.
Are you here to see the Princess?
No, I just came by for one last time.
What do you mean?
I leave for Jeonju tomorrow.
Please take good care of her.
You should see her in person.
How could I dare see her?
It will be too hard-standing for her...
to see me.
- Master Gyun. - Please...
take good care of her.
I will leave you now.
So you are leaving.
Are you not coming back to the capital at all?
You guys can visit me in Jeonju.
It is just that I feel bad that we will not be able to see...
each other as often as before.
Me too.
Goodness.
Master Gyun.
You cannot leave us.
- Do not go. - Do not leave.
Master Gyun.
Thank you.
- Pardon? - Never mind if you did not hear it.
I am getting tipsy now. Gosh, I feel tipsy.
How could I dare see her?
It will be too hard-standing for her to see me.
