Timing and Subtitles Created by The Royal Minions @ Viki
He's currently in the middle of a conversation.
But it won't be good after it's cool.
I've never seen such freeform crackers.
I made them. My teacher likes them very much.
I'll do the tasting first.
Oh, in lieu of the taste-tasting palace matrons?
Then here, take the pretty one.
- How is it? - Have you tasted this?
- Of course! - The taste…
Isn't it so exquisite? Everyone who tries it likes it.
After I was dismissed from my post, upon angering His Majesty, I came and wrote these.
Songs of Emperors and Kings. So, history books.
The first volume is the history of China and the second is our nation's.
It's only been one day since I got the power of a king.
And I came to ask you how I should use this power of mine.
I don't have time to read these history books, Teacher.
"Our people is a singular people originating from Dangun, the son of Heaven. A singular nation."
I think you could start from there.
Nation of singular people, to someone like me with half that blood.
Teacher, you are really tactless, or you have quite the nerve.
Everyone carries a stone in their heart.
Your Highness, yours is the half blood.
And in the heart of that child who's smiling like that,
there's a horrible stone too.
About seven or eight years ago, that child came to see me.
But what I saw was not a child but just the stone.
What's your name?
It's So Hwa.
Right then. What is it you want to learn from me?
Any answer is okay.
What I'm best at is listening.
I…I…
Yes.
I made my mother die.
Why do you think that way?
Because I made it so.
Without crying, since she was a stone.
- Where's So Hwa? - She doesn't eat the food given to her.
She's just going around chewing bitter plants.
I hear you won't eat rice. That's fine, you can just eat rice cakes.
It's mugwort rice cakes.
They are freshly steamed and very tasty.
Alright then. So you feel sorry to eat something tasty.
Sorry towards your mother?
Then have some flavorless water.
I gave her strong salted water but she drank it all without a sound.
She lost her sense of taste.
When you have a big stone sitting in your heart, it is hard to breathe.
And that was how she barely managed to breathe.
You're saying she lost her sense of taste because she felt bad for eating delicious food?
You came to me too because it was hard to breathe, when you told me the story of the wolf.
When and how did So Hwa start eating again?
I made her make food for us to eat.
What is this?
Yum. It's so good.
It's delicious, it's delicious!
There are two types of people.
Ones that are happy if they're happy, and ones that are happy if others are happy.
So Hwa is the latter.
I know that she's that type of person.
I hope you will become that kind of a king as well.
Be the king who can only be happy when his people are happy.
If you read my "Songs of Emperors and Kings"
you will be able to decipher who those kings are.
Oh right. There is just one thing that So Hwa can taste.
Your Highness.
No. It wasn't her that caused her mother to die.
Take the bodyguards and return. I will go alert the government.
- I want to know. - About what?
- The extent of Eun Yeong Baek's influence. - To do what?
He is said to have money and more soldiers than the king.
I want to see the extent.
Dozens of bandits are out there.
But you will only watch?
It's my fault. Their deaths are my fault.
I said not to alert them when Rin said to do so.
I didn't listen to him and that's why...
It's safflower wine.
You are indeed extraordinary in your ability to distinguish between different wines.
Can't you tell just by looking? This has been aged for at least three years.
Your Highness first.
- Take it. - Yes.
Teacher said he won't come with us.
I assumed as much. He hates the palace and hates government posts.
Therefore, you have no choice but to come with us.
Pour fast. Fast.
I need someone to gather together the government officials
who were forced to wither in the outskirts by my father's closest subordinates.
If I say something, listen. And if you heard me, respond for goodness sake.
- I can't go. - Why?
I'm thinking of escorting my father to Arabia.
To Arabia?
My father has chronic illness.
I heard that in Arabia there is a physician who is very knowledgeable about my father's illness.
- Rin. - Yes?
Please send someone to Arabia and bring back that skilled physician here.
- Your Highness! - You So Hwa, will come to the palace with me.
- Please try to understand my situation. - Understand what?
Why would you want to go somewhere so far away?
You said yourself that your father's health isn't faring so well. How will you get there?
We're thinking of it as a vacation.
My father and I have spent most of our lives apart.
So it's time for us to take some time to enjoy the world together.
- I'm not giving you approval to go. - Then I'll go without you knowing.
- What? - Arabia is too far.
It may take to years and years just to get there and back. Do you really need to?
That is exactly why you two should let me go in peace. So that I can give you proper farewells.
Because I don't know when I'll see you both again.
Eight years ago at the Sungjookjae.
- The time when the tragic incident happend to your mother. - Your Highness.
The bandits weren't the only ones there.
There was another group present.
They wiped out not only your mother, but all the robbers too.
They weren't coveting the money in the first place.
They just killed all who were present.
Can I ask you one thing?
Sure.
It was you back then, wasn't it?
Thats right.
Why…did you just leave them be?
If someone as high in status as you were to investigate, people would have gotten to the bottom of it.
The one who killed my mother, and the one who ordered them to do it.
Back then…
I only thought of myself. "I don't want to be caught up in all this, so let me turn my back on it all."
I know it's incredibly late, and although it embarrasses me to offer this, but let's search for who was behind all of it together.
Who did it, and why.
I'll help you with your revenge for your mother.
It may not be my place to say this, Your Highness,
but it has been quite some time since my daughter and I have released our desire to take revenge.
I know that my late wife would not want it either.
So I sincerely plead for you to leave things as they are.
I hear you have a chronic illness, so allow me to send a royal physician your way.
I will call for the Arabian physician too.
So leave your daughter with me.
So Hwa. Don't go.
What did you just ask for?
Wouldn't the Crown Prince need to hold some title prior to receiving his imperial studies?
Therefore, I thought of some titles for him.
A government position for him?
The great Emperor of Yuan
has already begun preparations to extend a government post to the Crown Prince.
I hear he will be assigned as Yuan's Honorary Minister of the 3rd rank along with the post of State Officer.
I assume there are Goryeo titles that are of similar rank to those.
So I prepared the royal assignments for you.
State Officer, Head State Officer,
Second and first rank Military Officer…
All of those titles?
All there is left for you is to assign him to those posts, if you will.
Is this the Crown Prince's idea?
This should be your idea.
- Assistant Royal Secretary. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Where is my Hol Chi guards and Eung Bang men?
They are still being held back by the Yong Ho and Eung Yang troops.
If that is the case then,
I must surely extend my royal assignments to him.
Please bring me my seal.
Right now?
Oh! While we have my seal out, one more thing.
Bu Yong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I'm going to assign you as a royal concubine today.
Your grace is endless, Your Majesty.
And with that, I must give you a name.
What would suit her…
Any thoughts Queen?
That's right. Mu Bi.
Someone who can't be compared against anything,
and someone who can't be compared against anyone, thus, Mu Bi.
- How about it? - I could die this moment, and I would have no regrets.
Mu Bi. Sounds pleasing.
Answer me, Mu Bi.
Yes, Your Majesty
Mu Bi?
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Mu Bi? - Yes, Your Majesty.
Once I receive the assignments, let's go to the capital granary first.
We need to begin by feeding the troops.
Rin.
- Yes? - We need to think about how we are going to divide up the provisions for the troops, and,
Yes.
What are you thinking about so hard?
- Your Highness. - Say it.
I've decided to actually listen to what you have to say from now on.
The incident with Minister Eun's wife…
will you really be investigating the mastermind behind it?
At the time, I blurted it out so I can keep So Hwa here,
but yes. I do plan on it.
When we found out that So Hwa was the daughter of that household
was when we were supposed to have started the investigation for her.
- Your Highness, you see- - Actually…
Mother, did you perhaps-
The Crown Prince should be very busy. You should be by his side-
The incident eight years ago at Sungjukjae.
The Crown Prince is planning on getting down to the bottom of it.
Sungjukjae…
- Minister Eun's wife? - Yes.
- You say your second brother is involved? - Yes, that is what I said.
How much does the Crown Prince know?
Now that he's put his mind to it,
he'll find out everything soon enough. Moreover, the witnesses are still around.
Those street thieves? Who on earth would believe their words?
I plan on telling the Crown Prince honestly about everything.
- Rin! - It is the rightful thing for me to do.
- We've kept it hidden for too long. - Too long? It is an insignificant incident!
Second brother plotted it all to have Minister Eun's daughter and his wealth and assets!
Your brother swore that that isn't the case. I asked him already!
Even then you said, "Keep your mouth shut. Stay put!"
If people find out about all this, your brother… will be charged with murder.
- It's not just one or two people that died! - And what of our household?
We are royalty!
One small step the wrong way and we could be charged with treason!
What's going to happen to me?
Can a murderer's sister become the Crown Princess?
Father?
Brother?
- Dan. - For me it has to be him.
Crown Prince's Quarters
- Nothing yet? - Not yet.
Right then. You told the palace gatekeepers right? To let her in as soon as they see her?
The moment the lady sets foot into the capital, we will be notified.
Good.
What is there to think about?
The second highest person in all of Goryeo is offering to find your enemy for you.
Your teacher must certainly be an amazing man.
The Crown Prince went to him personally to ask for his help with political matters.
He also is looking after you as his disciple.
What are you doing?
Goodness! Why do you like such a horrible thing?
Now the Crown Prince's guards are all over the place
protecting you, so what need would you have for this?
It's like a talisman of sorts to me. Hand it to me.
You are now publicly a lady.
Then you need to act like one. Be moderate.
You should you know, meet that person you have in your heart too.
You got that? Wear some pretty clothing too!
You and your constant nagging.
San, are you in?
I think that going by boat would be the best way to go.
Going by sea is indeed good.
Going by land is a little rough, so may be too much for you, Father.
Then…I'll order our fleets
to prepare the biggest ship out of them all.
Also gather the most experiences and skilled seamen too.
Exactly, Father.
All that preparation makes it hard for us to leave soon.
I told you I'll just take ten days to enjoy myself.
I don't even know when I'll return,
I want to taste all the wine in the capital.
Just ten days. Please?
Sit for a moment.
San.
Yes?
Will you give me an honest answer to my question?
When did I ever lie?
Why is it that you immediately gave up on the revenge for your mother?
Every year when you would come for the memorial of her passing,
you would spend an entire month or two scouring the streets
for someone with a snake tattoo.
- You knew about that? - Do you know how worried I was to see all that?
I'm sorry.
But now, you gave up everything
and will go to Arabia with me?
You've finally found the man with the snake tattoo,
and now after you know who's behind him?
You were right all along. Revenge and all that…
Is it because Master Wang Rin's own brother is involved with all this?
You're worried that harm might befall
on the young master and his household?
They are all great people. The young master, and their lady.
With the exception of that wild mule, the second master.
And so? You'll give up on everything and leave?
Yes.
I heard you were training in martial arts every night.
To the point where your hands would become covered like this with calluses!
I have always done so.
Your disciple brother dropped by and expressed his concern for you.
That you asked him to teach you martial arts.
I heard you told him that you don't need to know anything else
but how to ambush someone and kill them in an instant!
What are you thinking, San?
"A river flows through the white cloud summit."
"Travelling ten thousand miles to become ocean."
"Upon a rest and under the rocky cliff"
"returning to the Dragon Palace after some time."
♬The sound of my breathing. ♬
♬ If I draw you in the sky I think you might come. ♬
♬ I am waiting like this for you to come to me. ♬
♬ The love you left in my embrace ♬
♬ because I'm afraid in your heart you might become worried, ♬
♬ again today all I can do is smile ♬
- Teacher. - Just be one out of the two.
Either you look up at the stars and dream of your lover, or grow your lower core strength and practice how to take a life
You can't do the two together.
I hear you told your father to give you just ten days?
You think you can find your enemy in 10 days?
Give me your answer! I'm getting sleepy.
The one who committed the slaughter at Sungjukjae is a man with a snake tattoo.
The one whom he answers to, is Song In, the Royal Secretariat Recorder.
So you'll go find them, ask them if they killed your mother, and if they say 'yes'
you'll say 'oh, is that so' and kill them to avenge your mother's death?
Can't you just give up? They've been gone for a long time.
What if they haven't left yet?
That day, tens of people lost their lives not even knowing why.
Their spirits are still lingering around in the after world.
- How do you know that? - My dreams tell me.
Because I see it in my dreams.
There's no choice then.
Then you should complete your revenge in ten days.
But in exchange, you'll have to do some work for me.
- Work? - There's something I promised the Crown Prince.
Work for me during the day and take care of your business during the night.
Those two - now those you can do it together.
We could have met up at the Wonrak Palace. Why did you come all the way here?
- I have something to tell you. - What is it?
I should've told you earlier. To be honest…
Take this first.
Let's work on this first.
- Your Highness. - The generals are waiting.
Can't be late on the first day.
Let's go.
Relax your shoulders a little there.
Sit.
The chief generals and generals of all the troops. I wish to show my gratitude to you first.
We didn't have time to learn our game plan,
and no time to do a practice run through of our abrupt attack…
I didn't know we would be able to complete each step so successfully.
You all were incredible.
I have read through the reports from each camp on the provisions you've historically received
and I've revised it for a new provision distribution method.
Have a look.
You yourselves will know better.
What is it?
I asked what is this atmosphere?
Out of all the granaries, the Yong Mun capital granary
is somewhere where the military provisions are kept, your highness.
- I already know of this. - I received the order to review the status of the military provisions,
and had a look inside the granary doors yesterday.
- And? - It was completely empty.
- Completely empty? - Just like I said.
There wasn't even one single sack of grain left.
- What about the Dai Eui granary? - It was in the same condition.
Was it already empty to begin with or did someone empty it?
I asked people around the area,
and I heard that last night, many many handcarts went in and out of it.
We moved all the military provisions to the royal asset management bureau.
Everything is complete now.
All six army camps and those despicable soldiers
all went to him at the promise of some more food.
Now they'll know that after siding with him, there was nothing.
That they will go even hungrier, then it's over.
They'll all scurry back to their places.
All you need to do is wait patiently for a couple of days.
Once they've returned, we can teach hundreds by punishing one. Randomly select a few, execute them,
and hang their heads on the Eastern palace gates, and never again,
would anyone dream to act like that again.
How dare they take away your majesty's weapons and soldiers?!
Should we call more soldiers?
Are they to be trusted?
They are people I've personally selected. They are trustworthy.
No, humans can not be trusted.
You shouldn't trust them.
Leave these menial tasks to these loyal men, and let's go hunting.
I'll escort you.
- Hunting? - I heard that there were many wild animals and fowl around Dora Mountains.
- Dora Mountains? - Now that we are through winter, the animals have mated,
and they have given birth now,
and that they are becoming fatter and fatter.
Good. Let's do that.
By the way, what happened to your assignment as a royal concubine?
Issuing the royal decree to assign a new royal concubine is under the jurisdiction of the Queen.
We need the Queen's approval to seal the pla-
Get her approval. I gave the orders!
I will.
From now on, she will be Mu Bi. I have said it myself.
And what about the keys to the royal asset management bureau?
Take care of it yourself. Why must you ask about every detail?
How can I manage everything?
Find out where they siphoned the provisions to.
They couldn't have gone out of the capital, so search all the sheds in every street.
There is one place that is off limits to us.
The royal asset management bureau cannot be opened without the King's approval.
You dare to think such a thing?
You're saying my father, the king, snuck away the food that was meant for the soldiers of this country?
I'm simply saying that that is the only place we cannot search.
- I'll ask for help from Wonseong Palace. - I have something to tell you.
- I told you I'll go to Wonseong Palace. - Stop avoiding what I have to say!
…and please listen.
- Is it that urgent to you? - Eight years ago, the Sungjukjae incident.
It seems that my own older brother Wang Jeon is involved.
I had my suspicions back then 8 years ago.
I kept it a secret out of fear that it would be harmful to my household.
So,
I'm also an accomplice.
I hear that the King left for the Dora Mountains.
You mean he went out hunting again?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Then bring me the key to the royal asset management bureau. The King isn't here, so I will take care of in on his behalf.
Well that…it seems he has taken it.
I asked the man in charge of safekeeping the keys to the royal asset management bureau.
He said that he never received it after passing it to the King yesterday morning.
I will go to the hunting grounds. I'll go and use any means at my disposal to get the keys to the royal asset management bureau and-
Please don't go. I'm sure that girl went with him too. I don't want you to see them like that.
There will be shift in morale amongst the soldiers.
Don't worry about that too much. We're searching for an alternative.
What is this?
It's something Minister Eun's daughter had with her.
She would have wanted to exchange it in return for forgiving her father's sin for trying to evade the tribute woman selection.
Is it a list of all the assets of Minister Eun's household?
Your Highness.
Well I think we can first borrow some for the military mens' provisions.
The Crown Princess is something I have yet to give my final approval on.
Although you, the Crown Prince have already selected someone, it can not be passed without my approval as the head of the Inner Court.
What is it that you're thinking of?
Although the Crown Princess's virtues and her household and status is important,
but the most important thing is how much use she'll be to the Crown Prince.
I will make sure this won't hurt your reputation.
We just need to find one small fault in her.
She's here.

Your Highness, it's Eun San.
I came to assist you in what little way I can at my teacher's command.

Master Rin, we meet again. ♪ My love ♫
These are people that the Teacher suggested.
These are people who are skilled and intelligent, but weren't well connected enough and were cast out.
He said that putting them in the right positions will be of assistance to you.
What's with your clothes? Did you borrow your teacher's?
Also, he said that you must heavily guard places like
the Left granary, Yong Mun granary, etc where provisions and salaries are kept.
It's already too late.
He said to give this to you if you said it was too late.
What is it?
It's 1,000 sacks of white rice, and 200 taels of silver.
What did you say it was?
It's the rice I received last autumn for Gin Jae farm field rental and what I received from Nam Dae-
I don't need it.
- It's something my father prep- - I'm the Crown Prince.
- I may be desperate, but how could I- - Your Highness.
What?
I don't think it's the time for you to protect your pride.
I have a request.
Alright. I'll grant it for you.
I haven't said it yet though…
Say it. I said I'd fulfill your request.
You said you would find my mother's enemy, right?
Yes.
Please retract it.
Don't look for them?
Yes.
It wasn't a request to do something, but a request not to do something.
Yes.
You're giving up?
Who are you to interfere?
Didn't you lose your mind and wander around every time you saw the snake tattoo?
It's my father's request.
I understand. I won't search for them.
Rin, keep your mouth shut. I just said I'd fulfill her request.
I knew you'd do this.
What are you doing here?
I followed you.
From when and where?
Let's go.
To where?
I have someone for you to meet.
- Who is it? - Just…
Let's go.
Every time, just when I was about to forget, you ask me about it,
then just when I was about to forget about it again, you ask me about it.
Tell this lady exactly what you said to me.
You know, it's nothing to brag about either. Asking me to keep recounting it again and again-
Just as is. Right now.
Yeom Bo, you say it this time!
I don't want to! I'm not going to tell that story! Whenever I talk about it I have restless dreams for days
and I begin to see the dead people…
Are you a shaman? How can you see dead people?
You were there at the Sunjukjae? You two?
We were actually with the thieves that day.
But we weren't one of them. Come to think of it, how interesting…
So you're saying you were the young lady who was there at the time right?
You saw me?
Yes, I did. There were two young ladies in fact. Am I right?
I don't know!
Then a man dressed in black went about wielding his sword, flying around and killing off the other foot soldiers,
and he truly had the appearance of a devil with a sword!
And? What else did you see?
One of the young ladies was struck by a sword,
and then…
That person came!
It's my brother.
So your brother
looked at the injured lady and ran towards her in shock, but it was actually the other lady, right? Wow.
The part you left out.
Left out? What is it?
Miss! Miss!
I know that face…
That's Susagong's second son.
There isn't anything after that.
It's different from what you told me before.
Before? Then what did I say?
You said that the assassin and my older brother…recognized each other, didn't you?
That they met eyes?
No, I didn't.
What?
I think you heard it wrong. I never said anything like that.
Say it clearly.
This is what happened before. You tried to beat me up
and gave threats, so of course I spit out anything I could think of out of fear.
Don't you agree, Yeom Bo?
I did as you instructed.
They're infamous liars, so I think they ended up tricking Master Rin as well.
Good work. What about the salt merchants?
Jin Guan already went, so he'll prepare them.
Do you think Master Rin will go there too?
He will. He's stubborn, so he'll try everything that he can.
- But… - Yes?
I don't understand the reason for why you have to go this far.
I know. I don't really know either.
You're trying to marry him off aren't you?
You're right about that though. I have yet to see a more well suited couple than those two!
When I see them together, I feel they are a match made in heaven!
Why are you saying useless things?
The to-be groom is deeper in love though.
He just can't take his eyes off the to-be bride. His eyes are dripping with honey.
Who said they're a groom or a bride?
You said that the bride is also from a high status household. Her beauty, well there's no questioning that. They're perfect for each other.
You're doing the right thing. You'll be blessed!
Just where and what did you see!?
What did I do so wrong?
Please watch your words.
There is someone the Crown Prince captured not too long ago.
He is a salt merchant but in reality he was an informant to Song In.
The Crown Prince convinced the salt merchant to become a double agent.
Let's go.
It's that person.
According to him, Song In and my brother met very frequently.
And… he also claimed he saw the man with the snake tattoo.
I will bring him to you discreetly.
Ask whatever you want to ask.
What are you doing right now?
I'm helping you.
I'm looking for the person that killed my mother eight years ago.
I know.
Do you know I even refused his highness' assistance in finding that person?
Why did you?
Because the people I'm looking for…are close to your brother.
You may get caught up in all of it.
So you were worried about me?
They are cunning men. Men who can even blind the King himself.
And yet…you plan on facing them alone?
I have a plan.
What kind of plan?
You don't need to know. This is my business, so I'll take care of it. Please don't interfere.
So you must find out don't you.
Who did it, and why…
You can't live on with your back turned to it.
Only when I know… and only when it ends, I feel like I can actually start afresh for myself.
That way, I won't have to feel guilty anymore. I can meet who I please, like who I like…
and live like that.
They were together all night…
Do you know who they met and what they talked about?
I couldn't get close enough to hear what they were talking about.
They both know martial arts.
Susagong's third son and Minister Eun's daughter…
And…now I've figured it out.
Our Crown Prince's weakness.
I will make arrangements for it.
The soldiers must not find out.
The greatest source of the Crown Prince's strenght was not in the soldiers.
It was Wang Rin, someone who has been with him since a young age, who has been sustaining him thus far.
Nice to meet you all. I will depend on your help.
Those two were almost like each other's alter ego, to the point where I was at a loss as to how I can separate the two.
Now I see how I can go about it.
How dare you lay your hand on her?
I knew that the Crown Prince had her in his heart…but Wang Rin too?
What will you do with Master Wang Jeon?
Oh. Wang Jeon.
He seems to live each day in uneasiness and worry.
He comes in every day, asking after our plans for the future.
What should we do? Should we abandon the older brother, and keep the younger?
Who…will become a better king for me.
Wang Rin is a strong-wiled and conscientious man. Will he come to us?
If he has nowhere else to stand under the heavens…wouldn't he come to me?
You told me to look for any faults in Susagon's household your highness?
Because we can't have any complications in the future for the household of our to-be Crown Princess.
There is a dreadful rumor.
A rumor is not enough
How about if I told you there is not only a witness, but also evidence?
I already knew you were competent.
Your grace is endless.
What about Kim Do Gyung?
He received land as a reward every two or three years.
I think I saw his tax reports here somewhere…
The third paper down on your left hand pile.
You…memorized all that?
Ink.
Pardon?
Ink is dripping.
Wipe.
I'm not usually like this.
Well, alright.
I'm a little sleep deprived today.
Let's…go with that then.
Where are you going?
When a lady needs to go take care of personal things, it's courtesy to not ask after it.
Where are you going?
Just…outside.
If you're going home I'll escort you.
I'm not going home. And the work isn't even done.
Really?
I just want to get some fresh air. I'm getting a big headache.
Let's go. I'll escort you to where you plan on getting fresh air.
No thank you. I said I'll go alone.
You can't.
Rin, come here.
Do you know what this person did last night? At night all alone-
Doesn't the lady say she needs to go somewhere on her own.
She went all the way to Song In's house alone!
Imagine if she had actually met the man with the snake tattoo.
I've fought against him before, and my skills were below his.
She's not even compliant. If she were to meet him-
I've had her trailed by bodyguards at all times.
I will look after So Hwa.
I stepped out of my place.
I have an order from the Wonseong palace.
What is it?
I was told to escort Master Wang Rin to Wonseong palace.
To come alone.
Is he being summoned by Wonseong palace?
It's to the investigation bureau.
I, Wang Rin, here to answer your summons.
Tell him what you just said.
Without even a single word held back.
8 years ago, I was the head of a group of bandits.
But one day, someone came by. Encouraging them to be a band of robbers.
Will you be going too?
I heard the more the merrier.
Where are you going?
To rob.
Why are you gathering an entire army just to rob someone?
It's to rob EunYoung Baek's merchant party's goods.
It was to rob Minister Eun's merchant company of their goods.
We pulled together around twenty.
I gathered them together. They trusted me and came together, but they all died.
I also died, rather, I was on the brink of death and survived by a miracle.
If you could consider living like this being alive at all.
They annihilated an entire group.
They used us to make it look like it was to rob them!
And you said that you saw you commanded it all?
I did.
And this is his?
He told me that we would be paid after the deed was done. So I asked him for a collateral.
He took it from his belt.
Rin?
Yes, your highness.
Do you recognize this?
It looks to me like the butterfly insignia of your household.
What do you think?
He had planned to kill everyone from the very beginning!
He killed them off, one by one!
Even those who were injured and running away, they chased them and killed them all off!
They cut them twice and thrice!
Rin?
It…is our family emblem.

Master Rin is being held at the investigation bureau!
The investigation bureau?
The Queen has ordered for soldiers to be sent to the Susagong's house.
What are you talking about?
Regarding the Sungjukjae incident-
Where did So Hwa go? Why don't I see her?
She followed Master Rin.

Did you call me?
Where did he call me from?
I feel sick, ugh.
So Hwa!
I found the person that murdered my mother.
Is it Rin's older brother?
It'll all end if I kill him.
No.
It'll end that way.
So Hwa!

Don't do it.

Let's just cover everything up and pretend it never happened. Can't you do that?
He deceived me!
So I don't think I could do that. As if nothing happened…
You know that my third brother is in love with you, right? Please forgive him.
I saw how that child looks at Wang Rin. I saw how Wang Rin looks at her.
There is no way Rin would see the person in my heart as a woman.
Don't get hurt…
Return safely…
