(Episode 9)
Your Majesty.
I knew you'd understand what I meant.
Did you wait long?
I wanted to come sooner, but the court discussion got delayed.
It is all right.
It's also my pleasure waiting for you.
Then give it to me now.
Pardon?
I don't know what you mean.
The gift which you prepared with your heart.
How did you know?
Did you make this yourself?
It's a brush pouch.
Since you are a good calligrapher,
I thought you'd need a pouch to store your brush.
Or you could use it as a compass pouch.
(A thousand years apart from you...)
(will not change my love for you.)
"A thousand years apart from you..."
"will not change my love for you."
I carefully chose to embroider this quote that reflects my heart.
I have something to confess.
I've had 20 bowls of herbal tonics.
As if I watch stars and the moon,
I stare at the Queen's Palace for a long time.
I wish to run over...
to the garden and the library many times a day.
I brewed 20 servings of medicine already.
I look towards your chambers...
as if I look at the moon or stars.
The garden and library.
I visit so many times a day.
I cannot hide it any longer.
I will not avoid any longer.
I will not run away either.
I will just...
look only at you and think only about you.
I am in love with you.
My heart feels like it'll explode,
and that I wouldn't even mind.
That's how much I love you.
♫ I'm slowly going ♫
♫ But you're getting farther away again ♫
♫ A long time from now ♫
♫ I have something to tell you ♫
♫ All of your footsteps, all of your hesitations ♫
♫ They were all a dream to me ♫
Why is your hand so cold?
It will get warm soon.
It's already warm.
I think my compass is broken.
I always end up at your chambers.
What is it, Your Highness?
It is nothing.
It's because of His Majesty, is it not?
Does it show?
I used to be all tense and anxious...
whenever you came back from seeing His Majesty.
But it's fascinating to see you smile so brightly now.
Is it?
According to his court ladies,
it's like His Majesty has been reborn.
What is so funny?
What did you hear from them?
Well...
They say his poop smells different too.
I cannot believe you talked about such a thing. I better punish you.
I apologize.
Father, do I really have to go to Daejung-hyun?
It is an island full of rocks.
What if I die of an endemic disease?
Who is going to carry on the family line?
I recently...
invited a group of clowns to perform at my house.
One of the clowns...
looks exactly like the King.
Two people with the same face?
Father, are you listening to me?
You received your appointment. There is no way you can avoid it.
Do not board the ship headed to the island.
Wait silently in Naju.
Naju?
Okay.
But how are you going to explain it to His Majesty?
Do you have any plans?
My world has come to its end,
so I need to find a way out.
Should I teach you how to hit the mark?
You better not practice archery on a windy day to begin with.
If you insist,
you better have a big target.
So that you can pierce through its center no matter what.
Like this?
You are a hound abandoned by the King.
How dare you come bark at me?
I am well aware...
that you and the Queen Dowager despise me.
But I am a victim myself too.
A hound just follows its owner's orders.
It has no will.
That is why I was kicked out like this.
I will think it as your last will and hear what you have to say.
Why did you come here to see me?
I am here to make you king, Lord Jinpyeong.
Why me?
My enemy's enemy is my friend.
I dedicated myself to the King, but this is how I ended up.
So I thought carefully about who else would despise the King...
as much as I do.
And you were the only one I could think of.
My father and my brother died in your hands.
How can I trust you?
The justification of high treason.
Will that be enough?
You will make a target for me?
Exactly.
You better make it big.
Nice shot.
I didn't think you'd go this far.
Can you truly manage this?
I explained how things work here.
"To gain one, you must lose one."
Is that what you're trying to say?
In certain cases,
tens or thousands must be sacrificed to save one.
In some cases,
tens or thousands must be sacrificed to save one.
How can I aid you then?
Tell me what to do.
There's no way to help me now.
It's my sin,
and I will take full responsibility for it.
I will be back on the 49th day.
Take good care of him for me.
(This clown is an imposture who is pretending to be the King.)
"This clown is an imposture..."
"who is pretending to be the King."
What nonsense is this?
How can this be?
Maybe it's a joke.
It may be true, you know.
The rumors of barbarians invading...
is all over the market, you know.
Will there be another war?
You are not going anywhere...
This face...
is of the rascal clown from that night.
Why are you taking that down?
Can this be true?
- Nonsense. - I don't know...
- since I can't read. - What?
Lord, what does it say?
Gosh, it must be something entertaining.
Could this be true?
- This... - How can it be true?
It doesn't make sense.
The King is an imposture?
So is the King a clown,
or is a clown the King?
What is this?
Dal Rae, can you read it for me?
What does it say?
"This clown is an imposture..."
"who is pretending to be the King."
My brother is pretending to be the King?
What did you just say?
Do you know this clown?
If you do, speak the truth.
The authorities must be informed.
Do you know him?
Of course not.
How could we possibly know him?
Do you? Unbelievable.
- Gab Soo... - Come on.
Tell us!
You can't just leave.
Tell us if you know!
Can you believe this?
(This clown is an imposture who is pretending to be the King.)
Unbelievable.
Lord Lee, what brings you to the Department of Justice?
Horrendous posters are all over the city.
Order your officers to take them all down.
Yes, sir.
Officers, follow me.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Lord Lee, did you see the posters?
What's going on?
Where's Ha Seon?
Woon Shim, tell me the truth.
Where is Ha Seon's sister?
I took her to the temple.
She disappeared a while ago and we've lost track of her.
Lord Lee!
Is Chief Royal Secretary Lee still not in court?
I'm afraid so.
Your Majesty,
I brought one of the horrendous posters...
that were all over the city.
Please take a look.
(This clown is an imposture who is pretending to be the King.)
Forgive me for saying this,
but it speaks of a clown...
who has a face that resembles yours.
I'm truly sorry to say this too,
but rumors about you resembling a clown...
is quickly spreading among the people.
They speak of a possibility of a war...
and the sky...
bringing doom to this nation.
Such rumors are flying.
Your Majesty,
you should order all clowns to be arrested...
and calm the people of their speculations.
Why should I...
round up all the clowns to do so?
The poster speaks of a clown,
so arresting them...
will frighten the people into speaking less of it.
It will also serve as a warning to those who posted these.
Do you even hear yourself?
It's not like the clowns did anything wrong.
I will not allow it.
But Your Majesty,
clowns feed off on these rumors...
and spread them with their jokes.
You can't say that they're innocent.
It is an urgent matter, so please accept our advice.
- Please accept our advice. - Please accept our advice.
That should not be done.
Chief Royal Secretary Lee.
Your Majesty, forgive me for my tardiness.
I lost track of time solving the poster issue.
You're here now, so all is good.
Your Majesty,
may I address the court?
Go ahead.
The fact that...
one single poster caused such ruckus...
only proves...
the lack of faith the people have in the royal court.
With this alone,
the ministers and officers of the court...
must seek the King's and the people's forgiveness.
However, instead of looking back on yourselves,
you wish to blame the people for this matter.
It truly is a horrific sight!
As a member of this royal court,
I am ashamed and I truly apologize to you and the people.
Your Majesty, the poster...
was probably put up by traitors.
You must seek out those...
who try to use the people to cut down your authority...
and prevent this disaster.
Chief Royal Secretary Lee is correct.
This poster...
must not bring worry upon the people,
so find out who was behind it immediately.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
(This clown is an imposture who is pretending to be the King.)
This poster...
Is it done by someone who knows about me?
If they knew, they wouldn't have stopped at putting up the poster.
Dal Rae.
If she sees this poster,
she'll be worried something might happen to me.
Please tell Woon Shim to take good care of her.
I will.
Keep your eyes on the court ladies in the King's Palace.
Especially, forbid Court Lady Kim from serving him from now on.
I was thinking the same.
I will do as you say.
For the time being, attend court discussions only.
Try not to attend court assemblies.
You have to be extra careful.
- I will. - Your Majesty.
Lord Shin Chi Soo wishes to see you.
What brings you to the palace?
I heard the news about the poster.
I became worried and came to see His Majesty.
I have something to tell His Majesty in private,
so ask him for permission.
He will not be accepting anyone's greeting today.
So please go back.
I might be of help to him,
so why are you stopping me?
You were forced down from your place because of what you committed.
What can you help?
Court affairs aren't your business anymore.
Why do you not keep your head down?
I heard about the scene you caused at the Hall of Convenience.
You raised your voice as if you were king.
Arresting the clown is the fastest and most certain way,
but you stopped the officials from doing so...
and blamed them instead.
And His Majesty let you do as you pleased.
That is not good.
Covering his eyes and ears,
what are you scheming?
That is what you were good at.
I am not a greedhead...
who fills his stomach behind His Majesty.
Don't worry.
It has been a long time, my lord.
I lost my connections,
so there must have been no reason for you to come see me.
I understand.
Things are hectic because of that scandalous poster.
But you do not seem so surprised.
What is there to be surprised?
Serving His Majesty,
I witness strange and unreasonable incidents happen all the time.
Did anything strange happen recently?
Overnight,
a big scar on his ear appeared then disappeared.
Are you sure about it?
Gosh.
I am getting curious.
Can you check the scar on his chest?
Do you think that is possible?
I will be done for if His Majesty finds out.
Why would I take such a risk?
You poisoned his consort...
and performed black magic against her.
If it gets revealed, you will be done for anyway.
It was your orders.
Do you have proof?
I have plenty of evidence and witnesses that you did it.
Are you threatening me now?
I only want us to help each other.
Now, are you willing to do it?
Good thinking.
I will not forget your help.
I failed to serve His Majesty.
I hereby request for resignation.
Chief Royal Secretary Lee.
Welcome.
I asked you to come to discuss something with you.
It is time to proceed with urgent issues...
which we have put aside...
due to controversies in the court.
The rice payment law, you mean?
Along with the rice payment law,
let us conduct land investigation,
broaden farmlands,
and expand national finances.
My lord, I have a message from the Department of Justice.
The court painter...
was found dead last night.
His heart was pierced with a sword.
He was found on a secluded road.
There are no witnesses or evidence.
He seems to have been murdered.
277kg of rice will be collected per 10,000m² of farmland.
242kg of the collected rice will be sent to the Ministry of Taxation.
And 35kg of it will be left in the government office...
for the purpose of management expenses.
Your Majesty.
Are you with me?
What?
Can you say that again?
Your Majesty.
Please tell me if you are not pleased by my explanation.
That's not it. Go ahead.
There are times of poor harvest...
due to drought or cold wave.
Thus, the proper ratio will be set...
Your Majesty.
Excuse me for interrupting your conversation,
but the Queen Dowager wishes to have some tea with you.
What tea all of a sudden?
She wishes to see...
you and the Queen as well.
Then I better go.
Your Majesty...
I am not done explaining though.
Come to think of it, you have such a handsome face.
Is it not fascinating...
that there's another face like yours?
I did not know you were so fond of my face.
It's not that I like it. I'm worried about it.
Even I am so worried.
Think about how anxious and afraid people may be.
Do you not agree?
People are swayed by rumors...
because their lives are harsh.
However, the court and the royal house are different.
The rumor dare humiliate His Majesty.
Being swayed by it...
is not a proper response, I believe.
At times like this, the royal house must step forward...
and set a rightful example.
As the head of the Internal Court, I shall come up with a countermeasure.
I'd like your support on it.
That is right.
I will do so.
But I believe...
you have to put something else as your priority.
What do you mean?
Do you really not know?
At times of crisis like this,
it would have been great if His Majesty had a son.
Did you not think...
his struggle came from your failure to fulfill your duty?
How is that the Queen's fault?
Please don't tell me you're blaming yourself.
I was about to say that a child is sent from above.
If you're that worried,
maybe I should adopt Lord Jinpyeong.
Is that what you want?
Once again, you're spinning my words.
Is that so?
Come to think of it,
adopting Lord Jinpyeong might not be wise.
He's not charming and has a dull expression.
He'll be no fun.
Your Majesty, are you all right?
I hear that the court had a lot to say about the poster.
Were you worried?
If I was there with you,
I would've taken your hand and left,
just like you did...
when things got heated at the marketplace.
Like this?
Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Whoever it is came up with a clever plan.
I want to find him before the King does...
and reward him.
I'm glad you're happy with the outcome.
Was it your doing?
Why couldn't you be like this sooner?
If you had, my insides won't be in ruins.
It's not like the King can grab the rumor by the throat,
so even he won't be able to come up with a solution.
The only way would be to produce an heir.
An heir?
Don't be alarmed though...
for that will never happen.
You never know.
On my way here,
I saw the King and Queen enjoying each other's company.
I guarantee you this.
The King took away my only child from me.
There is no way that I'll let...
the Queen be happy with hers.
Your Majesty,
shouldn't you be at the Hall of Convenience?
I should.
Then you should get going.
Stay there for a second...
for I'm in the middle of something important.
What may that be?
I'm receiving energy.
I have to see you...
in order to do my work properly.
Then...
ask me over anytime.
I will be by your side...
and give you strength.
What is all this?
I know you have a private army,
but it still isn't enough to go up against the King's.
Use these to gather the generals of the border.
Meanwhile, I will round up the members of the court.
Will they listen to a minister who was recently demoted?
Then I must return to my spot.
Chief Royal Secretary Lee won't let that happen.
It's as if he's after your previous position himself.
A mere chief royal secretary...
is no match for me.
The Vice Minister of War of Ming will pay us a visit shortly.
Only I will be able to stand up against him,
so the King will have to bring me back to court.
The painter who drew the poster was found murdered?
Could it be by those who ordered the poster?
They will have had the painter draw your face...
and killed him to shut him up.
Then is there no way to find out...
who put up the posters?
There is a few I suspect,
but I have no proof.
A proof or a confession,
all I need is something substantial.
Lord Lee,
order Officer Jang...
to look into the royal kindred.
Officer Jang resigned and left the palace.
What? How could he resign at a time like this?
I apologize, Your Majesty.
Had I known sooner,
I would've stopped him.
It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself.
- My lord. My lord! - Who are you?
- My lord. - Who is this lowlife?
I have something to say in regards to the poster.
The poster?
I know the clown from the poster.
What I'm...
about to say is worth 10 silver yang.
Actually, I should receive about 12.
Sure.
I will pay you whatever you want,
so tell me what you know.
It's him from that night.
The dog worth two yang.
The dog worth two yang?
Have you already forgotten?
It's the boy who barged...
into your residence regarding your son's matter.
Who is Shin Yi Gyum? Shin Yi Gyum?
What is the ruckus?
Please save me, young master.
How much is a dog worth in the market?
It must be less than two yang.
- Send him off with two yang. - Yes, my lord.
You are not going anywhere...
My sister...
is not a dog.
Do you remember him now?
How can you be certain that...
he's the clown from the poster?
His face is the same.
Not even twins would look that identical.
Then do you know where that clown is?
He was at the courtesan house in Hwagye-dong,
but he's now probably long gone.
However, a courtesan by the name of Woon Shim will know.
She allowed the clown and his sister...
perform there in the first place.
The Hwagye-dong courtesan house, courtesan Woon Shim?
Why does she sound so familiar?
She's a courtesan adored by Chief Royal Secretary Lee.
What? Chief Royal Secretary Lee?
So...
the clown was at the courtesan house which...
Lord Lee often visited?
Yes, that's correct.
This important information...
is worth quite a reward.
- Here you go. - Thank you, my lord.
Why...
Because no one else...
can know what you just told me.
I must meet this Woon Shim myself.
Yes, my lord.
What does Lord Shin Chi Soo wish to see me for?
He does not need a reason to call you in.
Obey his orders.
Just as you'd summon someone high-up with courtesy,
you should be polite when you invite a courtesan too.
Tell him I told you so.
Woon Shim is a courtesan who performs for royal feasts.
No one can summon her as they please.
What are you waiting for? Take her.
Do not step back.
My lady, I will go see him.
But Woon Shim.
I'lll be fine.
You have a message from outside the palace.
Do you know a clown named Ha Seon?
Yes, he used to perform in my courtesan house.
I heard you know...
his whereabouts.
I don't know who told you such a thing,
but I do not know where he is.
Do you really not?
I am just telling you what I know.
All right.
Is there anyone outside?
Did you call for me, my lord?
Drag her outside and torture her.
Until she tells the truth.
You may kill her if she does not speak.
Yes, my lord.
You wench.
Let go of her if you wish to live.
The guards are waiting for you outside.
Go back to the courtesan house.
I heard you adore that wench, so I called her here.
You came right after as expected.
How could you have done something so cowardly?
If you think it is unfair, be cowardly like me.
It is natural...
you become greedy if you stay close to the throne.
I am not bothered by that.
You act like you are all innocent and noble.
And I am disgusted by it.
Did you call me here to complain?
The clown in the poster.
I heard he performed at your favorite courtesan house.
Have you seen him?
Of course, I saw clowns. They perform with masks on.
Someone must have seen the poster...
and made such a speculative rumor.
Really?
Then what if I find someone exactly like the King?
Are you confessing you put up that poster?
Seeing how irritated you are,
I think I got it spot on.
You better be careful.
You may end up losing your limbs...
if you continue to jump to conclusions.
Why are you still here?
I waited to see you come out of there safely.
Are you okay?
I am fine.
It must have hurt.
Lord Shin asked me about Ha Seon.
Someone must have seen the poster...
and told him about Ha Seon.
I don't have a good feeling about this.
What is going on?
He blames me for his dismissal.
That is why he tried to use you as a trap to catch me.
You should not have come if you had known that.
I could not help it.
I am sorry for making you go through this.
Escort her to the courtesan house.
Yes, my lord.
I wondered who sent me the message.
It was you.
I thought you already returned to your hometown.
I see you are still in the capital.
I was going to,
but after seeing the poster,
I just could not.
You even requested for resignation,
so what made you stop?
I know.
I am asking myself too.
Just what regret is stopping me from leaving.
Have you been watching Shin Chi Soo?
I suspected Lord Jinpyeong at first,
but Shin Chi Soo kept bothering me.
Your guess is right.
It seems like he has noticed something.
I am going to serve His Majesty for his bed,
so do not enter his bedroom.
Serving him for his bed is my main duty.
Why are you stopping me?
Are you telling me to stop serving His Majesty?
Under whose orders?
It is His Majesty's orders.
I need to hear it from him myself.
How dare you?
Must you be dragged out?
I am sorry for your trouble.
You may go get some rest.
Will you be okay alone?
I'll be fine.
Go get some sleep for two hours.
I will do as you say.
Do not let your guard down just because I am away.
Of course, I will not. Do not worry.
Your Majesty...
What is this?
It's not what you think.
I was here to clear the tea pot...
when I heard your unstable breaths.
You must have a death wish.
We need to set a trap.
Whoever put up the poster...
already has doubts about your identity.
He'll order someone to verify it.
That's how...
we catch who's behind this.
Can you do it?
A clown knows how to put a play on any stage.
I'll do it.
I specifically ordered no one to enter my chambers,
but you drugged me and came in to check my scar.
That's not it, Your Majesty...
Shut it!
I know you didn't plan this yourself.
Who ordered you to do this?
I promise you that it's not the case.
Please believe me!
So you came in to check my scar...
without receiving any orders?
I see that I had a snake beside me.
I made a mistake worthy of death.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
How can you ask for my forgiveness when it's worthy of death?
Your Majesty...
Eunuch Cho!
Drag her away.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please believe me!
Your Majesty! Please believe me!
Your Majesty!
What can I do to stay alive?
His Majesty...
believes it to be Shin Chi Soo who set up the posters.
Go and...
tell him what you confirmed.
Also, have him confess to you that he set up the posters.
If you do so,
I will ask the King to spare your life.
Lord Shin will see you.
There was a scar...
on the King's chest?
Did you see it yourself?
Yes,
I saw it with my two eyes.
You shouldn't have put up the posters...
without checking with me first.
How did you know that it was my doing?
When you ordered me to check the King's scar,
I already had my suspicions.
The painter that died...
was your doing as well, wasn't it?
It was the only way to shut him up.
Anyway, I did what you asked.
Do not forget my contributions.
How could I?
I should head back to the palace now.
Hold it.
What is it?
There's one more thing you must verify first.
Enter.
Why didn't you tell me His Majesty caught you?
Did Haksan order you to get a confession out of me?
The King threatened my life.
And you expected me to spare it?
I put my trust in you,
and I'm disappointed.
Court Lady Kim...
entered Shin Chi Soo's house but disappeared afterwards.
What about the eunuch Court Lady Kim paid?
He can be a witness...
That eunuch too has disappeared as well.
He must...
also have been a spy of Shin Chi Soo's.
Can we not make Shin Chi Soo pay for his crimes then?
We could have...
if Court Lady Kim returned with his confession.
However, we can't...
since all we have is our suspicions.
Still,
she probably told him about your scar,
so he won't doubt your identity anymore.
How can one do this even after being demoted?
We can't let Shin Chi Soo carry on like this.
Shin Chi Soo's power comes from his wealth.
Starting now,
I will dig up all the wealth he has stored up.
I will set up the Office of Dispensing Benevolence...
and quickly implement the rice payment law.
What are your thoughts?
Your Majesty, the Minister of Taxation...
is ready to follow your commands.
I will follow your commands as well.
Your Majesty,
the rice payment law has already failed once.
I advise you to make a more cautious decision.
Minister of Work is right.
Implementing the rice payment law at an unstable time...
will only make the landlords stand strongly against it.
Collecting 1,440kg of rice from those with 3,300m² of land...
and collecting 144kg of rice from those with 330m² of land.
What is the problem with it?
You are worried about the opposition of landlords,
but why are you not worried about those starving?
Make people pay taxes according to their possession.
That is my will.
The royal house or the officials will not be an exception.
Your Majesty.
You cannot collect taxes from lands granted by the former kings.
There was no such law in the entire history.
I cannot take back what I have uttered.
Will there be a way to take it back?
Unfortunately,
you cannot take back what you have spoken.
I said it myself, so that is the law from now on.
Greetings, Your Highness.
His Majesty...
is enforcing the rice payment law for the people.
The officials will be paying taxes as well.
I would like the Internal Court to support his will.
Reduce the number of side dishes for the royal house meals.
That is my order.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.
I have a question, Eunuch Cho.
Go ahead.
"Collect taxes according to one's possession."
The rice payment law has such a good intention.
Why did it fail before?
Most of the officials are landlords.
And the one with the most lands...
was Lord Shin Chi Soo.
No wonder why it didn't work out.
That is why everyone is making a fuss.
I better make the law properly enacted while I'm at it.
The Internal Court is reducing the money spent on food...
under the Queen's orders.
Be more specific.
It means she will reduce the number of side dishes.
Okay, I will have my meal reduced too then.
Including snacks like this.
I will not have them anymore. Deliver my orders.
Why don't you just have this much?
It's not a lot anyway.
The Office of Astrology sent me this document.
Can you read this for me?
"Dark clouds covered the sky last night."
"We could not observe any stars."
"The horizon is covered with hazy energy."
"The nature is in disorder."
"Therefore, we recommend you to watch your behavior."
Does it not say anything about snow?
Snow?
The Office of Astrology might not know that much.
But...
seeing how my knees are sore,
I think it is going to snow tonight.
Are you...
sure about that?
My knees are quite accurate.
What is this?
It's a gift from His Majesty.
Please unwrap it.
From His Majesty?
He does not seem to know a woman's heart.
He sent this book as a gift?
This is enough.
But this book is the first volume.
Why did he not send the second volume along with it?
I will go get some tea.
If you would like to read the second volume of this book,
come to the library at night.
Find Ha Seon and his sister,
Dal Rae.
Tail those people close to Woon Shim.
You will find something then.
Yes, my lord.

There is something stuck on your face.
It is beauty stuck on your face.
♫ That smile ♫
♫ Brings soft tears ♫
(There is something stuck on your face.)
♫ Shining like the stars ♫
♫ I'm looking for that promise in the memories ♫
♫ I flip it over but it's still vague ♫
♫ Tell me ♫
♫ Once more ♫
♫ I'll try putting on a smile ♫
♫ Our hearts back then ♫
♫ Us back then ♫
Even if I die missing you,
I am happy to have known you.
♫ So whisper to me ♫
I miss you.
No matter how much I see your face, I miss you.
Come to the highest place in the palace.
I will be waiting for you there.
Why were you running?
You could've tripped.
(I am happy to have known you.)
How could I not run...
when I received these many gifts from you?
I'm sorry...
that these are all I can give you.
Why do you say such a thing?
I received...
the most precious gift on earth.
I received His Majesty's heart.
Your Majesty, it's snowing.
They said we were expecting first snow,
and they were right.
Did you know that it was going to snow?
I wanted to enjoy the first snow with you.
Are you that happy?
Yes,
look at this.
White and translucent.
They remind me of stars.
I cannot hide it any longer.
I won't avoid it anymore.
I have fallen in love with you.
I am in love with you.
My heart feels like it'll explode,
and that I wouldn't even mind.
That's how much I love you.
(Even if I die missing you, I am happy to have known you.)
(The Crowned Clown)
Stop spewing such nonsense!
If the sky truly disregards those of a lowly status,
I will not follow its wishes.
I will fight against it!
When did this all start?
You may become the real king,
but you will always be a fake to the Queen.
I found the temple where the clown's sister is staying.
What will you do now?
Do not follow me.
Who does this ancestral tablet belong to?
You may fool others, but you can't fool me.
