If you ever try to find me again or I hear you talking about me…
perhaps then,
I will need to kill you.
The authority to kill me whenever. I now give you that.
- You're saying you're giving that authority to me? - Yes. From me to you. Right now.
Yellow!
Meat or authority, someone seems to be giving it freely.
You eat it all.
I don't want it. It doesn't taste good.
- Give it to a dog? - A dog?
To me! Me! How dare she!
Give me to a dog! A dog! A dog!
How dare you!
Your Highness.
- Did you mention a dog? - Who did?
Earlier when you were sparring, you clearly said dog.
Something about giving something to a dog?
Be quiet. That girl–
Which girl are you talking about?
Doot–
Hey!
The girl from Doota Mountain.
There were lots of children at Doota Mountain.
Ah~ that child?
Didn't that girl say she was leaving the school because of her madam's death anniversary?
Then, she'd go to the Minister's home, right?
Would she go to the grave?
If you knew, would you go find and meet her?
Well, find and meet her or call her over and meet her.
- Please don't. - Why?
Her identity is not confirmed.
What is there about her identity that is not confirmed?
She was the Minister's handmaiden, then she became a student under Teacher Lee's tutelage-
That's why she's more suspicious.
To think that a mere handmaid is now a disciple of a great teacher.
Is that suspicious?
I will find out a little more.
To see if she is a girl you should meet.
- Don't look into her from too closely. - What?
- What if you get too close and your identity gets– - Your Highness.
Were you here, Your Hi–
You did not see me, and therefore were not able to relay any words to me.
Then hurry along to look for your Crown Prince!
Your mother is looking for you!
- I said don't get too close! - Your Highness!
- Don't say useless things. - Your Highness!
If you press here more…
I've never seen such a strong bow.
Isn't this the Black Horn Bow?
Made from the horn of the strongest of water buffalos
and from the strongest head deer's sinew.
Even the generals could not string the bow on their own,
so that it took a few soldiers to jump in and help-
Are you demeaning a few innocent generals
just for the sake of flattering your king?
It's not that, Your Majesty.
Where is the hunting ground this time?
They say Minister Eun has a hunting ground worth using.
By Eun Yeong Baek, you mean the one who lives in the northwest side of the Song Ak mountains?
Yes, it's called Bok Jeon Jang.
I know of it! The valley is deep, yet the owner does not fancy hunting,
so the place is filled with deer and wild boars.
How is it that there is nothing Your Majesty does not know?
You've obtained a good hunting ground for us indeed!
His son has played a big part in obtaining the place.
His son has remarkable abilities.
That is not true.
Which son of yours? Jeon or Rin?
If he works with people well, it must the second son, Jeon.
The third son works with swords better than people.
He doesn't only work well with swords.
The third son takes after his good-natured father, our Susagong, so he also is a man of dignity.
He is very different from our son.
On this hunting trip, bring both Jeon and Rin with us.
Our son doesn't like hunting so it's no fun with him.
They don't have any talents in hunting. They will only end up disturbing you on your trip.
It's because I want to see them.
When you become my age, you want to spend time with bright and good-natured kids at times,
not some delinquent child.
- Listen well. - Yes, Your Highness.
If you are not able to bring the Crown Prince on this next hunting trip,
your head will no longer be able to find a place on your head.
Does it seem like I am speaking empty words?
No, Your Highness.
If you understood, then that is all.
If you end up going to the hunting ground, don't even breathe loudly.
The Queen is someone who is hurt at heart.
It is difficult for a person with heartache to control oneself.
You will have to be careful next to her.
I only need to be careful when I see her later,
but I feel bad for the Crown Prince.
He is unable to express himself to both His Majesty and the Queen.
What child in the world feels that nervous in front of his parents?
Was she sixteen?
When the Queen first came into this land,
she was like a blossoming young magnolia flower.
The King was probably…
one year short of forty years old.
To the Queen,
he was most likely a scary ahjussi.
Was our aunt present in the palace then?
Yes.
My sister was the concubine.
This is the place I am staying at.
You can come whenever you like.
She would have been surprised.
She came to an unfamiliar land, following the King blindly,
but there was already a former wife and their son.
That son's age was similar to her own.
- She would have been scared. - Your Highness! Your Highness!
She conceived a child at such a young age.
She would also have been sorrowful.
Oh, is our prince in a good mood?
Look at our prince smiling.
The young Queen Consort loved the King,
but the King saw her as a burdensome Princess of great Yuan.
On the other hand, your aunt was like a longtime friend to His Majesty.
She would have been more sorrowful the more she loved him.
She made the grandson of the great Kublai Khan cry!
How dare you make the Great Emperor, the Khan's bloodline cry?!
Your Majesty, please do not be so angry.
You made my child cry!
I heard that after that incident,
our aunt was sent to the very outskirts of the King's quarters.
She was never able to see the King again.
My brother was sent to the temples.
Is your brother well?
I only hear of him through letters, so how would I know for sure?
I was not able to meet him afterwards.
I am telling you to be careful.
- I know. - I am telling you to be careful again!
I am being careful.
According to that boy, my mother's last words (will) were,
"Don't bear a grudge against anyone.
Always be your usual smiling self, and run about your life."
It wasn't hard.
I ran if I wanted to cry, and I smiled even as I cried.
It quickly became a habit.
However, living without hatred… was hard.
Are you kidding me?!
Hey, come over here.
You should know your limits with alcohol!
Why is it so hard to meet with you, Minister?
Don't I always come whenever you call for me?
I would've hurried over by horse if I had known you were with such an important person.
I apologize for keeping you waiting.
You two met before, I heard?
One of the thieves clearly said,
"Tell the Master." And that Master… was you.
Be quiet.
Brother, what have you done?
Were you with the Crown Prince?
I'll pretend you and the Crown Prince were never there.
So you… be quiet.
Is your daughter well?
Yes. My daughter is well, thanks to you.
She is living cautiously with a thankful heart.
San! San!
Master Wang was strange.
Has it already been seven years?
Time has flown by.
We're going to spend all night just greeting each other at this rate.
Since everyone is a busy person, let's just get straight to the point.
Is it in regards to marriage?
Your daughter is becoming of age for marriage this year, right?
I can't help but think that it was my fault she ended up that way.
If only I had discovered her sooner, then she would've been safe without harm.
That's why he has waited for your daughter to become of age,
and is requesting for her hand in marriage now.
Her hand in marriage? That's nonsense.
I will take it as a word of comfort.
Are you saying that I'm lying?
After that accident, my daughter has lived with a scar on her face.
How dare she marry-
If the royal master says he means it, then he means it.
Can't you just accept it as so?
Our royal master will earn her heart,
and your daughter will earn a relationship she can only dream of.
And you will earn the power that the royal master has.
Isn't this a plus for everyone?
Is he Song In from the distinguished Song family?
What do you mean, distinguished? He's just my younger cousin.
He is very clever, though.
My Lord.
Are you looking for something?
He's so handsome.
Who are you?
Sure, sure.
You haven't been here for so long. Is everything okay at home?
I'm always busy.
Who sent you here as a spy?
What did you see and hear?
Isn't it the same? Whether a powerful person wants to gain resources or a wealthy man wants to gain power?
Power and wealth must come together in order to gain respect.
Don't you agree?
It seems like a bird has flown into the room next door.
Don't worry about it, and just continue your conversation.
A bird?
It's usually a bird during the day, and mouse during the night.
A man named Song In was also present.
I know.
He's someone who visits my father's sleeping quarters fairly often.
I heard that he has a sly tongue.
But why would Eun Young Baek have a meeting with them?
- In that meeting… - In that meeting?
My second eldest brother was there.
There were talks about marriage.
Between my brother and the Minister's daughter.
- The daughter that went through an accident? - Yes.
The one with the scar on her face that's so severe that she always covers her face?
Yes.
That is very suspicious indeed.
Yes.
What's so suspicious?
So it turns out, that all the men gathered there are fairly high-ranking officials.
One of them was a Master in the Susagong's household.
- You saw? - Not his face.
But that Master said he wanted to be set up with me for marriage.
Of all places to ask for my hand in marriage, a secret gathering in the middle of the night at a tavern?
You should say it correctly.
You won't be set up for marriage, but me.
I know, so why does he want to marry you?
But why aren't you fazed by all this?
No shock or fear?
Or should I be happy?
After all, he asked for my hand in marriage knowing that my face is in this state.
You're bringing that up on purpose, aren't you?
You know that I tremble with guilt and apologies whenever you bring that up.
What is that? This long scar over here?
Stop it.
I like it! My life blossomed thanks to it.
Look! I live in your room, in your clothes, and get your treatment.
Then, cheers to that.
Okay.
But those people…
I think what they want is my father's money.
Why would they need his money?
I'll look into it more deeply.
If my brother has other intentions…
Your brother…
is of pure royal Goryeo blood, unlike me, who is mixed with Yuan blood.
What are you trying to say?
Won't the citizens of this country like that more too?
A king like that?
- Can you tell through blood, Your Highness? - What?
One's character.
How much they adore their citizens.
All blood looks red to me, so I can't tell.
So I don't look at blood, but the person.
I'm going to use your bed today.
You're not returning to the palace again?
Are you going to kick out your Crown Prince in the middle of the night?
Eunuch Kim will wait up all night, holding on to his injured neck.
- You're much better. - What do you mean?
If I were to give up my seat to either you or your brother.
- Your Highness. - I'm sleeping first.
You said that girl didn't see that it was you, right?
Yes.
Go to sleep.
Okay.
Were you saving me? This whole time?
Out of worry for me?
You… who are you?!
Miss. Miss!
Huh?
Do something before an official marriage proposal is extended.
Oh. Why? You don't want to get married?
Miss, you've lived too long in the deep mountains so you may have forgotten,
but I'm just a lowly handmaid.
To be married into the royal family in your place?
Whoa, it makes me shiver just thinking about it.
But why not?
Bi Yeon, this is your chance to become the wife of true royal blood. How about it?
Miss!
I'll look into that Master Wang.
Looks, character, and even intelligence, I'll bring you the scoop on everything.
Give it to me! You're drunk.
Then tell me.
Do you like round eyes like full moons,
or long, narrow eyes like the crescent moons?
- Miss! - You need to tell me so I can look into it!
Miss! You can't! You're drunk!
- Oh! Your high- - Shh!!! Shh!!!
Continue.
Don't greet me!
Don't need to greet me. Hurry and go about your way.
She's not here.
She doesn't come out this early.
Are you sure your sister isn't out?
Out of everything in this world, I'm scared of your sister the most.
What did I tell you?
I told you that you shouldn't be so blatantly nice and adoring towards my sister.
But she really was cute when she was little.
Then are you saying she's not cute anymore?
Yeah.
Our poor Dan doesn't even know how you feel
and is always wondering when you will come.
What I'm seeing right now…
No way!
It's her, right?
Right, so I'm finally here.
What do you think you're doing with food?
You're finally where?
I heard that the Master of this house is known throughout Goryeo for his unparalleled dashing looks.
Follow me.
Which master?
The first master is long married and left the household.
Then… the second master?
If we're judging by looks, the third isn't too bad either.
Unparalleled handsome looks!
What about his character?
If you're looking at character… let's see…
- Then the second master is a little… - A little?
Well he's very picky.
He doesn't even consider us lowly common folk as humans.
Geez…
- The third is… - The third master?
Not only does he not notice us common folk, he doesn't notice anything.
- At all! - What?
Even when he's walking across the front lawn here,
I don't even know what he's looking at or listening to.
He's just living in his own little world.
Then he must also not care too much about women.
I really wonder if he knows
that women even exist on this planet.
He probably doesn't see me as a woman either.
It's a joke, laugh!
That face is considered handsome?
Do you also think that he's handsome?
Why are you here?
I came to see this household owner's son.
- You know the son who lives here? - Yes.
Come here.
That person over there, he's a master in this household, right?
That person is the second master, Master Wang Jeon.
So he's the second son.
Do you also know the third master?
He's… Oh, he knows him better than I do.
He's very close with the third master.
We meet again.
What are you doing here?
You two were the ones being chased by royal guards.
What are you doing here?
About that…
As always, you two are suspiciously stuck to each other.
We're in the same group, so we can't do anything about that.
What group? What do you guys do?
So we…
- Crown Prince! - Crown Prince?!
We assist him, yes.
Lady, are you getting up now?
We came to visit the third master, under the Crown Prince's order.
My third brother left early in the morning.
Should I relay your message?
Han Cheon and Soo In.
No worries. We will relay the message ourselves later, so we'll be off now.
You came all the way here.
If I just let you go like this, I will be told off by my brother later.
Have some tea before you leave. Okay?
Let's go.
I will let it go this once, so just leave.
I will turn you in to the owners here if I find you here again.
Then…
Hey you! Let's go together. I have delicious tea.
Who is she?
I don't know.
Who is she that you two are hiding your identities and fooling her?
I'm not sure.
I'll look into it.
You're a good eater.
It's delicious.
She actually lives in the mountains.
When would she ever have had food as delicious as these?
You live in the mountains?
Then did you two meet her while hunting in the mountains?
- When? - A while ago.
How close are you that you guys are all hanging out like this?
Well… this close?
Move your head.
You two are really… close.
Do you know these people well?
Of… course.
What do they do?
Have you heard of shadow bodyguards?
Heard of it. But… don't tell me, you two?
With those skills?
Not officially, but in training?
Then what about the time at the mountains?
- We were running an errand. - Then what about being chased by royal guards?
That's confidential.
Is what they're saying true?
I don't know why you're suspicious,
but we go way back,
so I can guarantee their identities.
If you guarantee it, then I should believe it.
- Did you burn yourself? - Hey, your hand!
- Are you an idiot? - Ow, ow, ow…
Don't be a baby!
You are an idiot.
It was him who broke the teapot!
He'll pay you for it.
Should we do that then?
You allowed us lowly ones to sit with you, and even shared delicious snacks with us.
You don't scold us even though we've made a mess.
You're a nice person indeed.
Thanks.
You will become a wonderful sister-in-law.
- What? - I will take my leave with a happy heart.
- Do you know your way out? - Of course.
It's not that way!
I'm going.
Don't let it worry you.
It does worry me.
What kind of person is she?
I don't know… what kind of person she is, yet.
Then, I guess you guys will be going to the hunting ground as well.
A hunt?
My master's hunting ground. It's chaotic there right now, trying to prepare for His Majesty's hunting event.
Oh, that hunt.
I thought you assisted the Crown Prince.
Yes, but I'm not sure if he'll attend.
He's quite the lazy one.
Is he lazy and awful as well?
Why?
You were thinking about dying and whatnot.
How bad must he be for a young guy like you to think such thoughts?
I guess.
You're not supposed to give things like that so carelessly to anyone.
What do you mean, "that"?
The authority to kill you.
You gave that to the dog.
I was worried you'd give it to someone else if I gave it back to you, so I threw it away.
So now, you… can't die because you want to. Okay?
Answer me!
Okay.
- That's the front gate, right? - Yeah.
I'm going.
Are you coming to the hunt?
Probably!
I'll see you there!
Can't you make it a little bit closer?
For example…
Like this.
A graze.
I want to see some drops of blood.
Just some drops?
Exactly, just some drops.
The majestic bird neither flies nor cries. (Bu fei bu ming, 不飛不鳴)
It's been seven years. For seven years, all you guys have said to me is that it's not time yet!
The people of Goryeo are all waiting.
For a pureblood king to rise up from the dust.
Are you sure that we can bring down the mixed-breed Crown Prince once and for all this time?
Once the King and the Crown Prince enter the Bok Jeon Jang, which is the hunting grounds… everything will begin.
The hunting ground will be filled with many of our people.
They will first pick off the King's shadow bodyguards.
Then at that moment,
the King will be left all alone with absolutely no one around him.
At that moment, the Crown Prince will appear.
The King will be surprised.
Thinking, why did my own son try to kill me?
Would the King buy it?
That's why a bit of preparation is needed.
On hunting trips, the King and the Crown Prince use their own signature arrows.
A unique pattern is engraved into each arrow, and there is one metalsmith who is in charge of the task.
They say that no one is able to replicate the patterns he engraves.
In the middle of the hunting grounds where the King is standing all alone, an arrow will pierce through the air.
And behind the starting point of the arrow is the Crown Prince.
The arrow will be the Crown Prince's.
Won't this make an incredible scenario?
Honey, don't make a mistake, okay?
Worry about yourself!
Now!
What?
Why?
What's wrong?
- This rotten fool! - What's wrong? What's wrong?!
- She's crazy! - What is it?!
I'm going to kill you, you damn bastard!
- Oh no… - What are we going to do about this!
Gosh, really?
What about your baby?
I guess my baby… went back in?
Huh? Are you okay?
- Huh? - What? The baby decided not to come out?
Hey, you!
Are you alright?
I told you to pretend. When did I tell you to really beat me up?
You beat me? Beat me like a dog on a summer's day? (Old Korean saying for when someone is hit severly.)
I saw what my older sister did when she was pregnant!
That's what she did to her husband! "This is all your fault!"
Do you want to die, huh? Do you want to be beaten to death?
Do Woo Chi certainly asked us to do an odd task indeed.
If he wants us to steal it, why not steal all of it?
Why would they ask us to steal one?
And steal one as discreetly as we can so they don't notice its absence.
This is gold.
Minister! It's great to see you!
Your servant Minister Eun Yeong Baek greets you, Your Majesty. It feels as though it's a dream.
This can't be a dream.
I stood the night up just thinking about coming to these magnificent hunting grounds!
What do you expect me to do if this is a dream?
And this is your daughter?
Yes, my only child.
I heard that the Bok Jeon Jang (hunting grounds) is yours.
Thank you for allowing us to hunt in it.
How can the daughter of the best merchant in Goryeo be so shy?
What lady in Goryeo wouldn't be shy in front of you, Your Majesty?
That must be her. The one with her face covered.
The Minister's daughter. Will you give your greetings?
And say what? I caused your face to turn that way seven years ago?
Or you could just say hello.
I don't want to.
Wouldn't that alleviate the pain in your heart a little?
That kind of greeting is so distasteful.
The second son of the Susagong is having the time of his life.
He's stuck close to the King and fawns over him so that it's hard to even look at them.
I guess the King is happy that such a charming young man is smiling next to him.
Our Crown Prince should take this chance to get closer to the King and do something.
I don't see her.
Will you reveal your identity if you see her?
If I do that, that girl will act like the rest of these people, right?
What's the fun in that?
So you go look for her.
Find her, then keep her away from you?
Right.
Make it so she can't see me, but I can find her whenever I want.
Yeah.
Don't laugh.
Okay.
Punk, watch where you're going.
You're late.
I'm sorry! I didn't see you!
Your eyes saw something they shouldn't have seen.
Here, take this! And this!
Silver piece? I wonder what kind of item you gave to receive such a big payment.
That's mine.
Imprison them. And make sure you don't lose them!
Where is the Crown Prince?
- He went to the forest. - The forest…
- When? - It's been awhile. He went with His Majesty.
Together?
The two went on good terms.
Wang Jeon also went with them, so the three of them—
His Majesty wanted to take a look around before the actual hunt began,
and the Crown Prince said he'd accompany him.
It was such a nice sight to see.
Which way did they go?
Which way…
Where is it?
I believe they went towards the back.
The back valley.
I can't seem to find His Majesty.
What do you mean you can't find him?
The Crown Prince and His Majesty decided to race on their horses.
What about their guards? And what about their shadow bodyguards?
I don't know. I don't see them. No one responded no matter how much I called out.
Father!
Where are you?
Come out now!
Where did everyone go?
Hiyah!
What the-
What-
Father!
You insolent!
What?
Were you trying to kill me?
My own son! You tried to kill me, your father?!

Please return my weapon.
I will ask you again, who are you? You committed a deathly crime.
Do you know who he is? I'm asking you if you saw what he did!
Why? Was he trying to become king by killing us both?
You must forget about revenge.
I found the person who killed Mother.
Forget it.
I can't accept this!
You will come to accept this!
Have you found him? Have you found the person who stole this arrow?
Making my father suspect his own son
and causing the loyal subjects to be suspicious of one another. I did not expect this.
The start must be clear.
Then I will mark the start of the competition.
Fine!
Competition, start!
