Timing and Subtitles Created by The Royal Minions @ Viki
There were originally just five families invited for today.
I trust you've already reviewed the list I sent you?
Yes, mother.
And to add to that, we have Susagong's daughter, whom you personally invited,
we also have one more lady that I personally invited.
So we now have seven houses in total.
The seven ladies of the highest status, who are most beautiful,
and most intelligent, out of all the ladies of Goryeo are all gathered here today.
Step forward.
What are you doing keeping yourself hidden like that?
This is the only child and daughter of the Officer of Commodities, Minister Eun.
Her name is San.
Why is this lady here?
They say she was in a tragic encounter with a band of thieves in her childhood that resulted in a scar on her face.
But apparently she found a truly capable physician to treat her, and now the scar has completely disappeared.
As if…such a scar had never existed in the first place?
Mother, this is the lady.
She is the one who was to be in an arranged marriage with the second son of Susagong and-
Will you show us your clear face?
I, the Queen is ordering you to do so.
What a pity…how could you have lived all your life covering such a lovely face?
Did your father tell you to do so?
I've heard that this city's people are becoming more and more creative in their attempts to avoid their daughter's selection as tribute.
Shaving their daughter's hair to make her look like a female monk,
or to spread a false rumor that they have a scar on their face.
They even…force them into marriages I hear.
Dan.
Yes, your highness.
Have you also heard of those rumors?
I never imagined I would see you here today.
What did the Crown Prince say when he invited you here?
The Crown Prince…
My first, is you.
First for what?
When you find out about my secret in the future,
and find out what I've done and what I will do moving forward,
you may come to dislike me.
You probably won't understand me.
Even so, you are my number one.
Don't forget that, alright?
I also have something to say.
Go on.
I am ready to listen to your words and anytime and about anything.
What is this?
Take it.
So what is this?
I made it at the same time I made the bracelet I gave you last time.
So?
It's my mother's keepsake.
It's a little big for me, so I've had in on me like this.
I don't think I can accept this, it's too valuable!
Then think of it as a promissory item.
One day, when you have something to request from me, present this to me.
Then I'll do anything you ask me to.
You sure?
You really mean this right?
- Anything in the world? - That's what I'm telling you.
- But why? - Give it back if you don't want it.
One sec, who said I don't want it. Leave it be for a sec.
You shouldn't be so stingy like that.
Let's see.
Tada!
How does it look? Does it suit me well?
You're late.
Who are you?
We saw each other yesterday, at the palace.
What is up with the world these days?
Even dogs and cows greet me and say hello, ("even dogs and cows" is a Korean phrase meaning "anyone")
I simply can't bear the embarrassment.
I came as I had a matter to discuss with you.
I know nothing,
and I also won't tell you anything even if I knew.
So let's just go about our own ways.
Agassi?
San?
I've prepared a carriage for you this way.
If you have something to discuss, do it here and now.
I'd rather not. It's too dark here.
So you've been keeping such a lovely face covered up.
What a waste!
If the King had seen it, he would have adored you for sure.
Is blabbering nonsense some sort of hobby or habit of yours?
Should I fix that for you?
My wrist hurts miss.
Calling me an 'agassi'? What in dog's name are you talking about?
Does the Crown Prince know too?
Now you're mentioning even the Crown Prince?
I see this won't work. I guess I should ask the Crown Prince directly.
If he knows Lady San. And if he knowingly hid her.
And why.
Or…should I report this to the King first?
I heard that Dan was ill. Is she feeling better now?
She ate some of the dinner that was taken to her.
I'd like to wear the outfit my mother sent me.
I need to look good tonight.
Yes, your highness. She'll be happy to hear!
Away with that frown for goodness sake. I'm not sending Dan away.
Dan, a tribute woman? Does that even make any sense?
I'm going to the Queen's quarters now.
Whether it be pleading with her or throwing a tantrum - I won't send Dan away.
What is it?
There's something else besides Dan isn't there?
Master Wang Rin is at the Queen's quarters now.
- Was he summoned there? - He hasn't come out even once since he's been called in.
What do you mean?
What brings our Crown Prince here?
Coming on his own accord without being summoned.
Have you had dinner?
Why is he here?
Oh, I asked him to help me with some things.
There were a lot of things to review like lists of tributes and gifts to send with the envoy party.
As you already know,
the King doesn't like to deal with such matters so-
Rin. Look at me.
Look into my eyes.
Why are you here?
Because of Dan? To plead for her sake?
So, after you begged her, did she let Dan go? She probably embarrassed you if anything.
You were wrong in coming here. You should have come straight to me.
It's not how it looks.
I'll take care of it. I'm here to work that through now.
There is no need for you to concern yourself with this your majesty.
You don't trust me?
I will plead with my mother myself.
Even if it takes three, no four months or more to do so - I'll do it.
She'll listen then.
Don't do it.
Watch me.
Get up.
The matter with Susagong's marriage is something Rin himself informed me.
It was his own brother's marriage, and yet he came to me and told me to stop it.
Don't you kneel so easily in front of anyone.
He did so out of deep concern that his brother's marriage will be a detriment to me in any way.
He abandoned his own brother and sister, and came to my aid.
Since the very day you were born, I used honorifics to you.
I did so holding you as a newborn.
"You are finally in my arms. I will protect you,
as you will be the next King of this land!"
Please give me your word.
I raised you with utmost care.
What are you doing! Stand up!
Please, she's telling you to stand up.
Please take off my friend's sister's name from the list of tribute women.
Only then will I stand up.
Your highness.
Your dear, precious friend…his sister…
Yes, mother. Dan.
She's already been taken off the list.
Rin.
I think you need to tell him yourself for him to believe me.
She did indeed take her off the list.
Dan will be fine, your majesty.
Is my face that interesting?
So this is what you look like.
The person the Crown Prince calls his "woman".
Did he say "his first woman since his birth?"
Is this kind of conversation alright with you?
The way you're dressed you look like a female physician, but you act like a flirtatious courtesan.
I don't know which one you are, but you should watch your words.
Why? Are you going to hurt me with that knife if I upset you?
Although you carry a knife, you have never hurt anyone with it, right?
Your eyes are different. Those that hurt others have a different sort of gaze.
Do you not have anyone to talk to all day?
Or are you only allowed to breathe and not say a word?
Was I that talkative?
Tell me who's waiting for me.
Someone that knows you very well.
There's not that many people that know me "very well" in the capital.
Oh, that person also said this.
"If I was from the Wang household,
I wouldn't have given Lady San away.
I would've kept her for myself."
Go ahead. The person who said that is waiting.
This family is all dead.
During the day the young daughter was taken to be a palace maid.
Sister! Sister!!
Oh no! No!
Mom!
They say she had just turned 13 this year.
Not being able to bear watching his wife beaten up while trying to stop the soldiers,
the father rushed at one of them.
What kind of man would able to bear
his daughter being dragged as a plaything,
and the wife was being beaten and spewing up blood.
Therefore,
he rushed at one of the soldiers.
He rushed alone and unarmed at the soldiers who were holding swords and spears.
The man who had supported his family by selling firewood,
lost his life with one swing of a sword.
And what an insolent wife.
She should have at least prepared a funeral for her husband.
In the end, she hung herself to die.
She was also a bad mother.
She didn't stop to think once
about the rest of the children who will be left behind.
How the situation will unfold for the families of the women
on the tribute list, will not be too different from this.
Although the father may not take a sword to the chest, or the mother hang herself,
the mourning…
will come to fill the Goryeo air.
Why exactly did you take your time to take me to this place and to say those things?
Because I figured you've only heard of this, and never seen it yourself.
And once I see it, then what?
You're indeed as bold and as insightful
as I've heard, a true top scholar of Teacher Lee.
I've been keeping up on rumors about you.
That out of all the pupils that Teacher Lee especially adores, there is a woman.
There are too many things you know.
I hear the Teacher once said this, that out of his pupils,
there are few that stand out for their literary finesse or adeptness with the sword,
but no one comes close to that woman when it comes to protecting the weak and pitiful.
And that is why she is his top scholar.
It seems you have a lot of spies everywhere. Even…
…next to the King himself.
I don't like asking the same question twice, and since your answer is late, I'll take my leave.
Come over to my side.
To help the weak and pitiful people of this nation.
Please join my side.
Lady San?
Is that you, Lady San?
It's a robber!
Who are you?
Please save me…
What is your relationship with Minister Eun?
My lord is…
my father…
So you're telling me you're his daughter?
Yes.
If you're the Lady of the house, then who were you calling out for back there?
Save me… Please save me.
Answer me, who are you?
Do you want me to leave the same scar on your other clear cheek?
Then, will you tell me the truth?
I'm the Lady.
Crown Prince! What brings you here?
I've thought about this a few times, and yet I can't come to an answer!
What do you mean?
What would be the best…gold? Silver?
They have all that already right here.
Or ginseng? What do we have here?
Alas, there's plenty of ginseng here as well.
What would be good?
If you could tell me what you're looking for…
A gift-
Yes, Your Highness?
To his majesty the King. What would be the best for him?
So that was your concern.
I was just thinking that I wanted to meet him,
then I started to want to send him a gift, and also wanted to make him happy!
There is not a thing in the world that he doesn't have.
Anything?
Nothing.
He should also have the list of the tribute women.
What will you use that for?
Why are you asking when you know the answer already and making me embarrassed?
If you mean the list of tribute women, the Queen hasn't sent it over yet.
She said that she had to make some changes to it.
Is that so?
However, I believe I could give you some help on that.
Your Highness!
I've heard of the many things that the King enjoys,
so what those things are-
Your Highness!
The Crown Prince, in preparing for his martial arts training said that he can't find the right match for him,
and said that he really has no other option than to have Master Wang Rin there with him.
Rin is working here under my command. Report back to him that he is very busy.
He also said that Master Wang Rin is probably obeying the Queen's commands and working diligently,
but also that the Queen would have her son's health as her first priority,
so she would let Rin go in the end.
And if I still refuse?
He also said that then he would have to come into your quarters for his martial arts training,
but that your majesty enjoys a quiet environment and wouldn't allow that either.
If I use a real sword, we will end up seeing your blood, so let's stick to hand to hand combat.
Won't we need to fight it out to see whose blood we will see in the end?
Why you!
- Have you ever even given it your all? - Your highness.
I thought I told you not to call me that when we're sparring.
Just watch, just watch.
See? You're still not giving this your all!
Why are you beating around the bush? Say what you want to say.
When we would race you would always come in a step behind me,
when we would shoot arrows you would always place yourself one or two points below me,
we would repeat it hundreds and hundreds of times,
and never once-
did you surpass me.
- Your majesty! - Your highness, are you alright?
We will place you on a quarantine away from the prince.
Don't touch him!
Nobody is allowed to touch Wang Rin.
No one except me. I won't allow it.
His highness…is being deceived by me.
All of you, move. Move!
You. Did you think you would be able to fool me till the very end?
You really thought you would keep all this from me until the end and just leave?
How could you even think to do that? A royal hostage?
I was meaning to tell you.
- When? - Forgive me.
For what?
That you broke your own brother's marriage because of me,
and as a result that your sister was forced to be dragged away, and so in the end all you could come up with is to be dragged away in her place?
Is that what you're asking forgiveness for?
As expected, the Crown Prince had no idea.
If you leave like that, what about me?
It wasn't for the Crown Prince's sake that I wanted to leave.
Do you really want to see me lose it?
Is that what you really want? Huh?!
The reason why I wanted to leave…
…is me.

Wait miss, no please wait.
That's him, isn't it?
As I was living here,
I've heard the fighters talk and heard the 'he' is here.
That he is the owner of this place, and such.
Who is that person?
The Crown Prince.
So he was him, I'm getting shivers thinking about it!
Him and I talked together many times, in close proximity even.
When I talk to him, he would respond. You know, something like that.
It wasn't just a couple times either!
You know, the person who got hit and got a nosebleed!
What? You really didn't know?
If he's the Crown Prince, then I'm the Minister's daughter.
Sure.
What did she say?
She knows nothing. Or perhaps she's pretending not to know?
Here.
What about it?
Use it like this. Keep it on you like this!
- So cold. - You need to do this to prevent bruising.
Going home with a nasty bruise will make the elders go crazy.
Keep it on you like this.
How long were you watching us spar for?
Long enough to know that you two were fighting not training.
Did you perhaps, hear what we said?
I wasn't able to watch you two that close.
Two things that should be watched from afar: fire and fights.
In safety.
Aren't you going to ask why we were fighting?
I've never seen men fight for a legitimate reason.
When did it start? These two won't look each other in the eye.
- Come on! - My hand's frozen.
Instead they look at me,
Just endure it for a bit.
And talk cheerfully with me,
You're really lousy at enduring.
And smiles at me.
The man that does not know how to hold a fake expression or tell a lie has decided to look away instead,
hid after a long bout of silence, then is even planning to go far away.
So Ah, were you sick? What's wrong with your face?
Is it because I haven't been drinking lately?
It's not like they don't want to look at each other, and yet they both try hard not to.
So Ah.
I said to stay still.
You know what a royal hostage is right?
Of course I do. Children of royalty or nobility that is taken captive by a ruling nation.
In other words, a hostage or pawn.
That guy's name…is on the list of tributes for the envoy that's leaving this time round.
He volunteered without saying a word to me.
There are many who volunteer other than myself.
They move to a bigger nation to learn about different cultures, build relationships,
And what will you do with those relationships and acquaintances? Obtain a post as an officer there?
Is this true?
Yes. That's why I beat him up, so it's not a fight.
I gave him a good beating.
Although I did end up getting hit.
I think I do need to look for some medicine.
If I leave a bruise on your face, I'll really be in trouble.
Don't worry. I won't let him go.
That's enough for me then. If you say you won't let him go, I won't worry.
You trust me a lot.
But you see, things are a little complicated.
I may need to bend over backwards a few time to keep him here.
Is there anything I can do to help?
You just have to remember one thing.
Who is my number one?
Me?
Good.
These two…won't meet each others eyes.
Though it's not that they don't want to see each other, yet they try hard not to.
Geesh. My strength was a bit extreme.
I hear the invitations have been sent to five family clans, your majesty.
From what I understand it is a normal tea party for the Queen, but people know what it really is.
But in truth…
that it's an occasion where they will select the Crown Princess.
When is this child going to get here anyway?
Who do you mean by 'child'?
The girl that went to go look for some medicinal herbs. I haven't heard from her in days.
She may seem like a physician, but in truth
in this period in time where the envoys of the higher nation are swarming our country
I guess we try to put aside all things that could create, what do you call it, rumors?
So I encourage you to be a little patient-
When it comes to topic of gossip, I should be at the top of the list, no?
So you should get rid of me first with your logic.
I guess I talked too much again.
Should we just go on a hunting trip?
So you're saying you won't be involved at all with the Queen's tea party?
Let's go to Boora Mountain. And call that girl. I need her as she is great with her medicinal herbs.
We are indeed calling in the five families, but in reality it is all a formality. The truth is-
Why do you keep on saying, "the truth is"?
There is word that the Queen already has someone in mind for the Crown Princess.
What made you come to my humble abode, your highness?
I came here to see how humble the place looks myself. Guide me in.
You start.
Where shall I take you to your highness?
The place where your daughter resides.
What are you talking about sir?
Indeed you had no idea about all of this. I find out too late too.
So are you saying that my child was on the list of tribuets for sure?!
I knew it. In the end, the Queen was after us brothers after all.
She will send Rin this time, and probably send me off next time.
- I wonder where she will send me off to! - Be careful what you say.
How much more careful do I need to be? What is the point of being more careful? In the end we'll just-
Jeon!
I cam here to ask you one thing, and gain permission from you for another.
Please ask me your highness.
The reason why you wanted to marry your son and Minister Eun's daughter,
was it all for Dan?
Please forgive us your highness. I didn't think deeply enough and-
When a brother or sister is being married, no one is to select them as royal hostages or tributes. Is that right?
She's fake your highness.
Raise your head.
Look at me.
So this is the daughter.
I apologize for misunderstanding the true intent of your marriage.
I'd like to redeem myself for what I did. But I would need the permission from this household first.
Hong Gi's daughter shaved off all her hair.
That now that she was a female monk, she can no longer be selected as a tribute woman. Such treason!
Your highness, I am at fault as the father. I was responsible for it all.
My little girl just did what this poor father told her to do.
Hong Gi said the same thing. He said that it was all his doing, as her father.
So what happened?
You ordered the daughter to be whipped until there wasn't a single part of her body left unharmed.
I did what I was told. The father barely had his life intact and was sent far away on exile. And took all his wealth away.
I will obey anything you command me to do your highness.
But my father is not healthy. So please allow me to take punishment for my father as well.
I promise you that if my father is kept alive, we will be of benefit to you in the future.
You dare try to negotiate with me?
With your father's petty wealth?
Wealth and tangible things aren't the only thing my father has.
He has personal connections and trading rights that can connect you to the deepest corners of the Earth.
Those things hold value only when my father is alive, your highness.
You can ignore what my daughter is saying to you, your highness.
I will do anything that you tell me to do, your highness.
There is…
one way.
Are you talking about my daughter Dan?
You're saying you wish to select Dan as your Crown Princess?
Does the thought of me becoming your brother in law bother you that much?
Come to the tea party in two days and meet with the Crown Prince.
If you are liked by the Prince, and if he chooses you to become his Crown Princess,
then I will bury all these disputes regarding you and your household.
I give you my words as the Queen of this country.
I will serve you with everything I have your highness.
I won't forget your grace your majesty.
Please get up. If you do this you'll put me in a tough spot.
You'll be my father in law soon.
Isn't that right brother?
Would you please go send a message to Lady Dan for me.
It's late but I have something to tell her, so I'd like to see her.
Yes, your higness. I'll go tell her.
This winter seems particularly long, doesn't it?
The air is still very cold.
Since I lack power and must play my cards carefully,
this is really the best that I can do.
I need a way,
but I wish that you would understand me.
The night air is still chilly. Why are you outside?
I am seeing if Spring has arrived yet.
Please just come look at this.
I've selected a few that look decent.
What on earth should you wear to the Queen's tea party I wonder?
How is this one?
You know, I don't know if I should be happy or scared about all this.
How could she suddenly force you to try to win the Crown Prince's heart,
and that otherwise you're dead?
Agassi?
Huh?
What are you thinking about?
Oh, you know…just breathing.
Are you perhaps…thinking of that man?
If you're hesitant because of that man in your heart, don't be like that. Just forget him and move on.
What about you? Is your heart still beating for him?
Whose heart is beating?!
The man who rescued you. You said that he was tall and well-built.
Look at you changing the subject…
You Agassi need to try with your life to win the Crown Prince's favor!
I guess I do need to…bet my life on it?
Why?
You're worried that if you win the Crown Prince's heart, that man won't like it?
One of them will be happy. He'll probably clap for me, saying I did great.
If you say 'one of them', are you saying there is another man?
The other…will be very sad.
Not because of me, but because of the other man.
Because they will be separated by a very long distance.
What are you saying?
In the end…they will both be unhappy because of me, won't they?
And they'll soon come to dislike me.
Soon.
Is this too hard?
I have no idea what you're saying and it's not like you're speaking the Yuan language.
You're right. Knowing a man's heart seems the hardest thing in the world.
Teacher never taught me this one either.
I miss Teacher Lee. Should we go see him?
Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?
Yes, that sounds good. Let's go.
Agassi! Agassi.
Dan. Are you sleeping?
Brother?
- Did I wake you up? - No, I was awake already.
One second, let me find something to wear and come out.
No. I'll just talk to you through the door. Like this.
This will be better.
Isn't it cold outside?
I like the cold.
Did you have a few drinks?
I did want to drink some wine actually.
The Crown Prince was here earlier.
I heard.
He asked me…to marry him.
That marriage…you don't need to go through with it. Your name isn't even on the list of tributes. So-
Brother, you already heard then.
Where the Crown Prince's heart is at. That's why you are here at this time right?
You pity me.
What did he say?
"You will never be my number one."
"Will that be alright with you?" is what he said.
And what did you say back to him?
I told him that was fine by me, and that I was happy.
It won't be fine. How could that bring you happiness.
I can be next to his majesty.
It'll be more painful because you are next to him. At least twelve times more painful.
Brother, you won't understand.
How I feel when I wait and wait when I don't even know when he'll be coming,
just to hear his voice, and just to see his face at least once.
That is why you should put away those feelings.
There is no use in you telling me that.
I can't do it.
I just can't control my own heart.
You think I'm pathetic don't you?
No.
But you're laughing.
I just thought…that us brother and sister are so alike.
- Dan. - Yes, brother.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I came to tell you this.
Brother.
Brother! What are you sorry abou-
Come out.
And change your clothes. I'll wait outside.
Its quiet here.
But I'm not all that cold.
But your clothing is...
It's good that you came. I wanted to ask you something anyway.
I didn't come to talk. I came to take you somewhere.
Where?
His Highness the Crown Prince is at the Geumgajeong Inn.
- He's there and? - Go and tell him.
- About what? - Who you are.
- Why? - You're going to the Queen's tea party tomorrow, right?
I guess words have traveled everywhere in the capital.
I heard because there are some palace maids I've come to know well. Not much of a secret anymore really.
So you have lots of palace maids you've gotten close to?
Go to His Highness and tell him who I am, and then what happens?
Then, His Highness wouldn't come to make the wrong choice.
The wrong choice... meaning Lady Dan?
You knew?
I've got someone who wants to be close to me too. He told me everything.
Who?
Do you know Song In? He says he's Royal Secretariat Recorder.
You met him? Why?
Why I met him wasn't the case.
I met him because I got dragged there, I suppose.
Lady San. Our first meeting wasn't great. I'm aware of it.
It was a very desperate situation.
You must think me an evil person.
Evil person? A minion among the rebels who deem human lives laughable.
The world isn't so simple.
The person you trust could be an evil person to the people of this nation, and a murderer who is more cruel.
You schemer who's full of cunning talk every time you open your mouth.
The straining push for a marriage between Your Ladyship and Young Master Wang Jeon
was not all simply due to your father's assets.
Then? Was it for my striking beauty, huh?
Lady Dan of Lord Susagong's household. You know her, right?
That lady incurred the wrath of the Queen and is set to be a tribute girl to be taken away.
A household celebration was the only way to safeguard the lady, you see.
That was the case, I hear.
That was the case.
My marriage promise was shattered and Lady Dan must be taken away as a tribute woman.
It's been resolved.
By you going in her stead?
Lets get up. His Highness should be getting up soon.
Lady Dan…seemed like she had her eyes set only on the Crown Prince.
Get on up.
♫ I ask again ♫
♫ I ask myself in the mirror ♫
♫ If I am happy like this ♫
By chance... before...
♫ I asked myself ♫
♫ Because you are so selfish ♫
♫ Because you are mean till the end ♫
Change your clothes and come out. I'll wait outside.
♫ Trying to distance myself from you every day ♫
Now I know.
♫ The more I try to go far away ♫
That day... whose hand it was that held onto me that day.
♫ I roam and roam ♫
If I ask him why he watched over me, he would've answered that it was only because his friend had asked him to.
♫ Because I will be happy ♫
♫ With you, still loving you ♫
Now I know.
Why from time to time my heart fluttered and ached as it did.
♫ you also changed ♫
Because when they were together they were so beautiful and a pleasing sight to behold…
♫ Trying to make the memories match ♫
Because I was afraid I would hurt that friendship.
♫ Even so I still ♫
♫ love you like a fool ♫
♫ Even if I am full of injuries ♫
♫ You are still the one for me ♫
♫ To me ♫
♫ Even if this repeats the same ♫
♫ I will go to you but I'm still loving you ♫
He should still be here.
He will be entering the palace soon and after that, you won't get a chance to talk to him alone.
Go in.
If he finds out who you are, he will be very glad.
I now only have one task.
To ensure that they can continue to enjoy their friendship and company as they have already done for many years,
I will pour in all my might. Though it will be lonely, this will be a token of my friendship.
I didn't expect to see you here today.
What did the crown prince say to you as he summoned you?
His Highness the Crown Prince said. . His Highness said...
Your son said this.
The Queen will be holding a tea party, with beautiful and high-ranking ladies as her guests.
Everyone who comes to this event would probably all be aware of it.
That this occasion isn't just a tea party, but an occasion to find this nation's crown princess.
Did you know that?
Yes.
And you knew this at the time you made your plea?
Yes.
Everything? Even about me?
Yes.
I'm up. Stop knocking and just come in.

How are you here? And this early?
Is something the matter?
You said you were close with the Crown Prince, right?
A little, very, close.
I have a plea.
What is it?
My lady was invited to the Queen's tea party.
Her Highness personally told her to come.
The Queen, herself?
Just in case, even if he is fond of my lady, I hope he will ignore her.
If he could treat her as though he doesn't see her. Could you make the request on His Highness the Crown Prince?
So you're saying your lady isn't fond of becoming a Crown Princess?
That's right.
But that's being disloyal and rebellious.
How can she be a Goryeo citizen and hold the Crown Prince to such contempt?
She says she has another man.
So...
Even if he is fond of your lady, don't touch her?
Yea.
Act like he doesn't even see her.
Yea.
You all know very well what this occasion is for.
It seems discourteous to continue this evaluation with such precious ladies in attendance here.
I will introduce to you the lady I've already decided in my heart, whom I've given my words of promise, and who is to become my wife.
Dan.
Come stand next to me.
♫ What cannot be reverted. What cannot be returned. ♫
♫ The forgotten memory, grazing by ♫
This is Lady Wang Dan of Lord Susagong's household.
♫ The acquainted gaze. The familiar voice. ♫
Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince.
♫ My heart's faltering ♫
♫ I love you. I love you. Those words ♫
♫ The wish to hear them just once ♫
♫ I miss you. I miss you. Those words ♫
♫ That voice that roams around my ears ♫
♫ Will you tell me ♫

I am going to need power. I will need to have power.
For what?
To have it all.
You rascal, indeed you wish to die?
How amazing. You always show up. Whenever I am captured.
It's fortunate that you are not injured.
How dare you lay hands on her!
Do you wish to die? Remove your hands at once!
It's my royal order!
Do you not hear my words?!
