I wondered who it was.
Her Highness the Queen is looking for you.
This early in the morning? For what reason?
Go and hear it.
Let me wash up and finish waking up.
I will escort you.
Right now.
Rin. I'll be back.
Giddy up!
Young Master.
Third Young Master.
What brings you guys here?
Lord Susagong is looking for you. He said to escort you back immediately.
Ow, my head.
Good morning.
I had a good night's rest.
The two men upstairs. Where did that pair go? They're not up there.
Washing room, toilet room, exit.
One, the young master said to watch you so you don't go out, so we'll say there's no door.
Then, what about that door?
A door that shouldn't be opened.
What's on the other side?
A place that can't be entered.
I see.
It's tea sent from the Grand Nation.
Please get to the point.
It'll clear your head
and calm your heart.
What is all this?
Have a seat.
You were with me last night.
For your mother who's unable to fall asleep lately, you were up all night.
To hear your mother talk about her childhood in her hometown.
- We also played some games of baduk. - Mother.
I had a very nice time.
Murders?
The assassination attempt on His Majesty on the hunting grounds. A person who works for Crown Prince who's investigating that matter...
is killing off the witnesses.
Crown Prince's person?
I can't let them turn their attention on you, so I summoned you home.
He said to let you stay here with vigilance without even making breathing sounds.
It's the second brother, right? What in the world is he...
Do you have someone that comes to mind?
That's nonsense! Even you know that, Father!
Who among the Crown Prince's would even do such a...
So there is.
They're trying to frame him.
We'll find out if he's being framed or not when we wait.
Wait for what?
- Your brother is gone to kind that out. - What?
What he has done last night and what he will do.
- Sit. - This is a trap.
The Queen has summoned Crown Prince so you needn't worry.
He's clever and will find his way to evade the trap.
He won't run away from this at all!
If he finds out that girl is in danger, His Highness couldn't ever just sit still.
Rin!
Take a look.
There is a metalsmith who engraved the patterns on the Crown Prince's arrows.
I'm sure there is.
He said that three people came on behalf of the Crown Prince to investigate.
- Three? - Having listened to the description, one seems to be the Crown Prince,
the other was almost certainly the third master of the Susagong's household.
But you said three.
The last person... was a woman.
- A woman? - Yes.
There have been many as of late who witnessed the three go around together.
To be honest...
What? What is it?
I saw a woman at the Bok Jeon Jang junting grounds.
The descriptions of her appearance seem to match up. Her attire, the fact that she had a dagger on her person.
Was she together with the Crown prince?
She was by herself.
I recall seeing her as I remember thinking that is was odd for a woman to wander into the forest alone.
Forest?
Yes.
The same forest
- that the Crown Prince and I was in? - Yes.
Who are you? I asked you who you are!
He's dead! There's a dead person here!
Steady.
- Capture her. - So... who exactly were murdered?
The apprentices working for the metalsmith.
They say they were the ones that transported the Crown Prince's arrows.
The Crown Prince had them locked up?
But then someone killed them off?
We heard news that Master Wang Jung captured a woman
who was fleeing from the scene of the murder.
Which household is she from?
That lady who is supposedly very close to the Crown Prince and Wang Rin...
I only know that she is a nameless commoner...
Nameless?
You know nothing about her?
Even when she is a woman that often accompanies the Crown Prince?
They say they are moving her to the investigation bureau,
so I'll go and look into it further.
So you should.
I'll do that myself. Looking into this that is.
It's just an investigation for a mere commoner.
How could you show your royal self in such a trivial occasion...
I'm only going to take a look.
At the very back and discreetly. Not going to show myself.
Wait! Wait!
What are you doing? Please save me!
Excuse me! Help me!
Excuse me! Please!
Wait! Ask me anything! I'll answer it all!
Ask me anything and I'll answer!
You're the second master of the Susagong's house right?
- I've met you before! - How dare you!
How is this criminal still moving about freely?
Tie her up immediately!
Yes, Sir!
Master! Master! I know your sister very well.
I'm telling the truth! Ask her yourself!
We know each other very well!
What a noisy girl.
We can yank her teeth out,
or they tend to become quiet after burning their lips with a scorching iron once or twice.
But even then, her breath would still escape her.
Let's listen to her answers first.
You heard right? The master has a lot to ask her.
Tie her securely!
Is it that girl?
It seems so.
Her attire exudes immaturity and unruliness.
She looks like someone who would live in a hunter's hut.
It's without a doubt the woman I saw.
How can you be so sure? A girl like that, with my son?
You're saying she was with the Crown Prince?
Not just the Crown Prince, but another man or royal heritage, Rin?
Your highness! This is the Royal Secretary, Song Bang Yeon requesting your presence.
Your mind is wandering is it?
Is the Crown Prince here?
Why are you opening up all your flaws to me?
That person seems to be looking for me.
How will be block this attack?
Your highness the Crown Prince, it seems you should step out for this. Right now at the investigation bureau-
You dare interrupt my time with the Crown Prince and create a raucous in front of my quarters, general?
How dare you show such outright disrespect for your Queen!
Please tell them to let him in.
Why are you trying to argue with me?
Every breathing moment
is all for you.
Royal Secretary!
Did you just mention the investigation bureau?
So you were in there, Your Highness!
- That woman was captured. - Woman, you said?
- Shut his mouth. - Yes, Your Majesty.
They say she followed your orders and killed off the witnesses.
Do you know her? The one who was with you at the metalsmith's-
Let go of me!
You better let go!
- Move aside, immediately! - It's a trap.
It is a woman I know.
You can't know her.
Whoever she is, you don't know her.
She is someone another has planted in order to frame you.
Let me go.
Don't you get it?
If you go now, it means that you are admitting to these charges and wrongdoings.
I don't have a wrongdoing to admit to.
Then act like you don't know her.
You just need to stay here.
You just need to stay still.
Forgive me. Move aside.
It doesn't matter if the Crown Prince gets hurt.
Don't let him leave this room!
- Where is the Crown Prince? - He went to the Queen's quarters a long while back, and has yet to return.
I was just thinking of heading over there.
Do you really want me to use my sword,
right here in mother's quarters?
We'll finish our baduk game, eat lunch together,
and leave after a cup of tea.
- Clerk Choi, Court lady Cho. - Yes, your highness.
- Please protect the Queen, so she won't be too startled. - Your highness...
Jin Guan and Jang Ui!
- Did you call for us? - Leave at once. What do you think you're doing?
I am the only one under the heaven and stars whom they answer to.
- Jin Guan and Jan Ui! - Yes, your highness.
You may unsheathe your swords.
I need to leave this room, so clear the way.
Acting on your orders.
- Do you know of this sword? - It's mine!
- Are you sure? - I'm certain! How do you have this?
That sword was found at the hunting site.
Then she is the murderer it seems.
Wait! The ones who were dead in the cellar? They were dead even before I got there!
And why would you have gone there?
About that... I was following someone.
- Did the Crown Prince order it? - What?
The only ones that knew they were there were the guards who were there on watch, and the Crown Prince.
Crown Prince as in the King's son?
That Crown Prince?
No way... are you trying to say you don't know him?
Sir! Look at me!
How would I dare meeting someone as high and mighty as the Crown Prince!
If you don't tell the truth, you will not be leaving here alive.
I am a commoner who lives up in the mountains harvesting plants.
The Crown Prince? How dare I...
Do you really need all your joints to be snapped apart,
and all your tendons to be ripped out before you tell the truth?!
So you would go through the trouble of snapping every bone
inside the body of someone who is telling the truth?
Then it seems you have an answer you are hoping to hear?
Can you tell me what the answer you want is?
It seems only then will I avoid these beatings?
Why you...
We need to start by fixing her impudent behavior! Start!
Yes, Sir!
She doesn't know!!!
She didn't know I was the Crown Prince. I hid it from her.
So you know her?
Please stop the investigation before she is injured even further.
I doubted it.
No way, my son?
- This country's Crown Prince? - She knows nothing.
I dragged her along where I went, so if you want to know something, ask me.
You dragged her along? Why?
Father please stop! Please...
It was because I couldn't stand even a moment away from her.
She is the first woman in my life... whom I came to like.
The Crown Prince went to the investigation bureau?
The Prince will fall into a trap.
So I've heard.
If you're the Crown Prince's friend,
I trust you will help him avoid that trap?
- I will go and- - I trust you will fall in his place?
Into the trap.
All you need to do is say one thing.
Then, you'll be able to leave with your pretty face untouched.
What do I need to say?
Did the Crown Prince order it?
Everyone said that the second master in the Susagong's household has a handsome face.
And so,
I've wanted to know if your character was also as comely.
- What nonsense? - Now I know.
The vomit that has been churning inside my drunk teacher all night that he throws up...that is the quality of your character.
I'll ask you again. Who ordered you to kill the witnesses?
I forgot the name you just told me.
Can you repeat it for me?
Why this little...
That wench's glare is much too impudent!
Scorch one of her eyeballs out first. That side first.
Yes, Sir!
I made the order!
I was the one who put the murdered men in that house.
And it was me who ordered her to come to that house too.
Are you crazy? Why are you butting in here?! Why would you?!
She's my woman.
What?
My woman is captured here.
She's bleeding...
What kind of a man wouldn't interfere?
Well now. What a bunch of clowns!
All you royalties gathered here, each dancing their own idiotic dances together, right in front of my eyes!
Rin came because of me. Please tell me you can see that!
He's here with the intention to take it all upon himself for my sake.
Hurry and take that wretch and wench away and incarcerate them!
Whether we shall kill them or let them live, and how we will kill them if we will kill them...
- I shall give my orders on that shortly. - Yes, Your Majesty!
Father.
I have begun to despise your voice.
So shut your mouth. Don't say a word.
Get up.
Come here!
- Where are you going? - They say she's detained at the capital prison!
Are you really going to go there? What will people think?
Do I really care about what people think? My child is-
Sir!
Buy out all the people surrounding the jail. If buying them out doesn't work, then threaten them!
Make sure you do whatever it takes so that not even a hair on the child's head is harmed.
I'll do that.
Create a meeting. Gather all the ministers that our hands reach.
There are many of whom regularly benefit from us.
They will deem it strange. For a lowly servant, for you to be so involved, my lord...
We will think of that after the child's released!
Didn't I tell you to take her straight to the Doota Mountains without taking your eyes off of her?
Didn't you know she's like a squirrel?
I'm sorry.
My hand won't go in. Please relax.
That's the hardest part.
Relaxing.
Are you worrying about the Crown Prince?
Worry?
Who?
The weather is very cold.
I told him to go investigate but he's hanging around some wench,
arresting the witness, killing them, she did it, no she didn't do it.
Why is he the subject of so much gossip?
Was what the Crown Prince did really that bad?
Even if he did do something wrong, I can't do anything about my son.
If you think about it, that rascal is someone of much higher status than me!
Because he's someone that inherited the blood of the emperor of the grand nation over there!
I can't even punish him properly without thinking of the consequences! Let's say he catches a cold after being like that.
The emperor of the grand nation will send a special agent here right away.
"How did you serve my precious grandson that you dare to let him catch a cold?"
My son...
from the day he was born, had a lot more than me.
How could the Crown Prince over the King, and the son over the father possess more?
Isn't that wrong?
He has a friend who would throw their own life to save his,
and a woman.
I have neither. Not even one.
It shouldn't be that way, right?
I'll let one of the two live.
That girl you call your woman, or your best friend, Wang Rin.
Choose one.
Someone needs to pay the price.
So we would need at least one left imprisoned.
I'll let one person live, you choose.
The night is deep.
It's getting cold, please go inside.
It's colder inside.
Shall I put out for fire basins?
Is it because the room is empty?
What are you waiting for?
I don't know.
Doesn't it seem like it will snow?
The night sky is getting heavy.
You.
Yes, Your Highness!
It's you.
Your Highness! What is the matter? Your Highness...
Your... Highness...
Your Highness!
Please spare me, Your Highness!
Your Highness! Please spare me!
Your Highness!
Don't you ever!
Lay a hand on my person...
You're going to beg me to kill you instead.
Where did you place my people?
Where are my people?!
Why are you here?
I assume the question you're really asking is,
"What took you so long?"
I want to be alone.
That girl was taken to Pyeong Ok.
I heard.
That girl is hurt.
That girl's name is So Ah.
She's bleeding here, due to a split lip.
I saw.
You saw?
Your older brother did that.
I saw So Ah being hit, pushed, and dragged around.
I always threw up.
I felt a burst of sorrow and wrath.
Make sure your brother stays out of my sight. I don't know what I'll do to him.
You can do whatever you want with him.
Father...
Father said he'd release only one person between you and So Ah.
Only one... out of the two?
So, I'm thinking of choosing So Ah to be freed,
and leaving you here.
I can't stand seeing that girl
being hit and dragged around by someone else.
That's why.
You said I was your one and only friend, and the only one you trust.
That's true.
You're choosing a woman over someone like me?
I know.
Hey, you.
You in the corner.
Yeah, you. Come out.
Hey...
Please come out.
Carefully, without getting hurt.
Excuse me. There was another person who was dragged into prison with me. Do you know where he is?
- How would I know? - Hey!
I don't know, but please come this way.
Watch the pillars and be careful. Please come this way.
This way.
♫ From where are you looking at me? ♫
♫ Are you silently next to me? ♫
Where were you?!
Did you know your friend, Han Cheon or Soo In or whatnot, has been taken away?
Because of me, he's been taken away!
I was falsely accused after following the guy with the snake tattoo, and-
What are you doing?
♫ Even if you don't say anything, I'm alright ♫
♫ Because I already feel you ♫
♫ My tears tell my story instead ♫
What are you doing?!
Let's say I slipped on the icy road.
While I've fallen, let me lean on you for a bit.
♫ If I draw you out on the sky, in case you come♫
♫ In case you come, I'm waiting like this ♫
♫ The love you left in my embrace ♫
♫ I'm afraid it'll disappear on its own ♫
♫ So again today, I'm calling out to your face ♫
Why are you always the master, and I the slave?
Now is not the time to argue who's who.
You remember the arrows we stole last time?
Precisely! Why am I always the lower role (cold rice) and you to higher role (warm rice)?
The whole capital is on high-alert because of that,
because they're determined to find the ones responsible for the theft of the arrows.
Ugh.
Last time, you were the lord and I was a palanquin bearer-
I'm a Madam and you're the maid.
Watch your mouth if you want to live.
I'm the Madam and you're the maid. Remember that.
Next time, you be the maid and I'll be the Madam.
Or else, you're going to regret it! Really!
Your fly's open.
I saw everything.
I thought you only learned how to drink from your teacher, but your writing's pretty good as well.
Let me take a look. I'll proofread it for you.
How would a mere guard know how to read?
Why wouldn't I know how to read? I can read something as easy as this.
Let go.
Are you writing to Eun Yeong Baek?
Would you look at that informal speech. Is Minister Eun your subject or something?
A slave who writes to and receives letters from her master.
I've never seen this kind of relationship before.
I'm sure he would be worried if he hears I've been taken to prison. I'm just letting him know I'm safe.
And I also requested for help regarding your friend, Han Cheon or Soo In or whatever his name is.
He's Soo In and I'm Han Cheon. It's really about time you start remembering!
Our master is well-connected in society, so I'm sure he'll have a solution.
Han Cheon. My name is Han Cheon. Repeat after me. Han Cheon.
I get it!
- Pay up. - Did you find them?
For the skinny one, five nyang. For the chubby one, five nyang. My kids are watching over them, so hurry up if you're going to catch them.
Wait here.
Do you guys run errands?
If you give us money.
Do you know Minister Eun's residence in Ja Ah Dong?
I do. The one with the biggest house.
Give this to a man named Goo Hyeong at that house.
How much will you give?
Just ask him.
Why me? Wait, So Ah!
Ten nyangs for the two people, and one nyang for the letter.
Gae Won.
Madam. Call me Madam.
Madam! Take a look next to us.
Behind us even.
Oh my, a handsome young man is smiling at me.
Making my heart flutter.
- It's you guys, right? - No!
No to what?
Look here, young lads. If you need money,
I will get however much you want from my husband!
Mister.
- Yes? - Someone I know is locked up in a cell because of me, so I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Oh... I see.
I heard you guys stole the Crown Prince's arrows?
What do you mean?
Who told you to steal those arrows? That's all I need to know.
Excuse me...
I think someone gave you false information, but-
This is getting too long.
Hey, break his bones one by one.
Why me!?
That's how everyone else seem to do it.
Wrist, elbow, shoulder. One by one.
We should start with the fingers first to go in order.
Honey, you have to endure it. Okay?
Let's try here first.
Ah! Dol Bae! The salt merchant Dol Bae!
Let's say I slipped on the icy road.
While I've fallen, let me lean on you for a bit.
Are you alright?
- The sun will set at this rate. - The sun will set every day.
How long are we going to watch him like this?
Just a bit longer.
That guy, the salt merchant, Dol Bae.
Yeah.
Until that guy goes to meet someone. Or, vice versa, until someone comes to meet that guy.
Are you sure there's someone else behind him?
You don't think a lone salt merchant would dare steal the Crown Prince's arrows,
and shoot at the King? There's definitely someone else behind him!
Let's just grab him and beat the answers out of him. I'm sure he'll confess.
Did the prison make you strange?
Saying things like "grab and beat a guy" and "break someone's bones one by one".
- So, So Ah. - Yeah?
What was my name again?
Aren't you even worried about your friend?
How could you laugh in this situation? I'm about to die of worry!
Maybe it's because you don't know what it's like in prison,
but there are crazy guys that trying to burn you with red hot scorching irons and-
Don't worry, don't worry. That guy has really good connections, so he won't be mistreated.
Well you sure have overflowing faith in your friend.
Hello there!
- Someone came. - What shall I get you?
- They're meeting.- One order of this one.
Okay, one order.
Ugh, he's just here to buy salt. He's a customer.
So Ah...
Okay, your name is Han Cheon! Are you satisfied?
This is water for you to wash your face. Should we lay out the blanket for you?
What is all this?
This is from the Crown Prince. Secretly.
Is this also from the Crown Prince?
No, this one is from Lord Susagong.
From father?
Yes, he asked to get this to you secretly.
He packed plenty for us as well.
Hurry and give them to him.
These are from Dan, my sister.
Who are you looking for?
Ah, that startled me.
Are you here on an errand?
I am a person of this house.
Pay up first.
That girl, So Ah, is indeed connected to Minister Eun's household.
It's not just a simple relationship.
Though at a simple glance, this letter is written with formality,
but if you look at it's content, the way she requests favors and pleads with him
resembles the way a mistress would write to her master,
or how a daughter would to her father.
A mistress? Someone like her?
Her writing is neat and her strokes are graceful.
That girl So Ah... how could she look like a mere servant on the outside, yet keep something like this inside?
There is something strange.
I noticed while surveying the Minister's home, but there wasn't a single person who had worked there for more than 7 years.
Wasn't it seven years ago when the Minister's wife died?
I heard he let go of all the workers since that incident.
How did you end up making that mistake that day again?
You struck the Minister's daughter's face that day.
I was going to strike the handmaiden that was next to her,
but the daughter stepped in and got struck instead.
Find someone that worked at that household during that time seven years ago.
Anyone who was close to that daughter.
Was the daughter's name, San?
I must meet her myself.
Are you that restless? From worrying about Soo In?
I'm not worried, but uncomfortable.
I really don't like anyone getting hurt or dying because of me.
I have a history with things of that sort.
He's going to make his move soon.
What?
I set a trap.
What trap?
Someone came to buy salt earlier, right?
Yes.
Welcome, how can I help you?
I would like one order of this.
Yes, one order. One order of this great looking salt.
Give this to your master.
Who are you?
If you let him know that it's urgent, he'll know.
Look, he took the bait.
Let's go.
Have a great day.
She's been praying since early morning. She must have a lot of things to pray about.
You're Minister Eun's daughter, right?
Do you know a girl named So Ah?
How... do you know So Ah?
She asked me to find you.
How? I heard she's in prison right now.
Have you met her?
She sent this letter.
I will report back to her after you've read this and written your response.
She asked you to give this to me? So Ah did... to me?
Why? What is this about?
I didn't read it, so I don't know.
They say you shouldn't read someone else's letter.
She said it's urgent, so please read it.
He's going in.
So that's the place, where the mastermind is.
You're going to go in?
We have to go in in order to find out who's behind this.
That's a tavern.
So what?
It's no ordinary tavern, but a place where you drink with gisaengs.
- Why do you think there are gisaengs? - I've been there before,
so I know.
You've been here before?
How? Why?
You know how all newborn babies are all wrinkly and ugly?
But Lady San had round eyes and a sharp nose ever since she was born.
She was so adorable and beautiful.
You said you left you role as nanny seven years ago, right?
That's what I said.
After losing his wife, our Minister was so upset.
He let go of everyone who knew Madam.
Most likely because he thought of his wife every time he saw us.
Would you recognize the young miss if you saw her now?
Of course. No matter what scar she may have on her face, I raised her myself.
Even if 70 years had passed, I would recognize her in a heartbeat.
We're not open yet.
We're just going to sit quietly in a corner and have some hangover soup.
Of course, you should!
We don't serve snacks this early though.
I haven't been here in so long.
So your Crown Prince will save your friend as long as we find the one behind all this, right?
- Yes. - Hey.
Are you sure your Crown Prince won't back out on his words later?
No, he won't.
No matter how lazy and awful he is, according to your words, he won't ever take back his words.
So, your Crown Prince-
He's not only my Crown Prince, but also your Crown Prince as well.
Whatever, fine.
That place up there is suspicious.
Wait, wait. You're going to go up there right now?
Wait right here.
Yeah, why?
What if there are gisaengs up there?
So, you're not going to go?
I'm not saying I won't go-
Just follow me.
It could be dangerous!

No matter how much I think about it, this bar is very suspicious.
I followed my Master here before, and saw that person here,
that cursed son of the Susagong household.
I don't think all of Susagon's sons are awful.
They're brothers, so how different would they be?
That guy was here too.
What guy?
There was one other person who was also spying on them. The guy who hid his face.
I thought he was a spy at first, but strangely, he was helping me.
Don't you make a sound.
Can you do that?
We were hiding here, that guy and I.
So that place was here.
I was curious. Who he was, and why he was helping me.
Is he someone I know?
No way, I don't know many people in the capital.
Thanks to him, I was safe.
How about here? If you hide here, you can see everyone passing by.
Come here. You can't see me, right?
Hey, Han Cheon out there. What do you think of this spot?
How do you do it?
What?
How can you look elsewhere in front of me?
How can you think of another guy while you're with me?
I can't do it.

The King Loves
Give me mine. Stop joking around and give it to me.
I'm going back to the mountains.
Wait, wait. When are you coming back?
I don't have any plans of coming back.
Then, stay a little longer.
Is there a reason why you need to hurry and leave?
Should we stir up a bloodbath? You'll feel the consequences.
If you covet something that does not belong to you.
So, this is what your face looks like? I was curious.
I think we've seen everything we need to see here.
I don't think anyone should know of this secret hideout like this.
Then another method is to make you a person of this house.
It's because I want to see you more, even for a couple more days.
Move out of my way.
