1
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,620
CAPTIVATING THE KING

2
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:13,310
Stop it.

3
00:01:16,982 --> 00:01:18,650
You think so

4
00:01:18,734 --> 00:01:21,194
will be able to avoid Heaven's punishment for me?

5
00:01:24,281 --> 00:01:25,824
Punishment, Your Majesty?

6
00:01:25,907 --> 00:01:27,576
Do not talk like that.

7
00:01:27,659 --> 00:01:29,369
You don't know, Sang-hwa.

8
00:01:33,623 --> 00:01:37,335
I hid a very big and heavy mistake.

9
00:01:45,343 --> 00:01:47,679
It's time to reveal my mistake...

10
00:01:49,806 --> 00:01:52,392
and accept the existing judgment.

11
00:01:58,065 --> 00:01:59,941
"EPISODE 12"

12
00:02:07,407 --> 00:02:08,700
Notify me of my arrival.

13
00:02:11,161 --> 00:02:12,329
Her Majesty the Queen Mother,

14
00:02:12,412 --> 00:02:14,289
Your Majesty is coming.

15
00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:22,297
Welcome, King.

16
00:02:33,892 --> 00:02:38,563
I came here because I was afraid that my mother would be shocked when I heard the lightning strike.

17
00:02:39,898 --> 00:02:42,192
However, Mom seems to be fine.

18
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,655
The oldest mother in this kingdom.

19
00:02:47,239 --> 00:02:50,158
How could mother make a fuss just because of lightning

20
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:53,120
as if it were a major disaster?

21
00:02:54,704 --> 00:02:55,789
Mother

22
00:02:58,667 --> 00:02:59,960
Peach tree in the backyard

23
00:03:00,043 --> 00:03:02,087
burnt due to being struck by lightning.

24
00:03:04,422 --> 00:03:07,217
Mother had no idea such a disaster had occurred.

25
00:03:07,843 --> 00:03:11,555
Maybe Senior Lady Han was afraid that mother would be shocked, so she hasn't reported it yet.

26
00:03:14,558 --> 00:03:17,394
Lightning striking the palace is indeed a bad sign.

27
00:03:17,477 --> 00:03:20,105
However, fortunately no one was injured.

28
00:03:20,188 --> 00:03:21,898
Just consider the disaster a blessing.

29
00:03:22,482 --> 00:03:24,651
Are you really grateful for that?

30
00:03:28,029 --> 00:03:32,367
That's the peach tree that the late Big Brother planted with his own hands for me.

31
00:03:32,450 --> 00:03:36,121
So, what do you think the meaning of Heaven grabbing the peach tree means?

32
00:03:37,956 --> 00:03:39,791
I'm scared, ma'am.

33
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:43,253
I feel like I'm king

34
00:03:44,296 --> 00:03:46,590
not in accordance with Heaven's destiny.

35
00:03:46,673 --> 00:03:47,716
Do not talk nonsense!

36
00:03:48,842 --> 00:03:50,886
Why do you say such weak things?

37
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:52,179
Is Mom...

38
00:03:54,890 --> 00:03:56,516
not afraid?

39
00:03:59,269 --> 00:04:02,397
What should you be afraid of?

40
00:04:03,481 --> 00:04:07,360
Is there nothing that's bothering you at all?

41
00:04:10,655 --> 00:04:14,075
Your words are even more terrible than the lightning.

42
00:04:15,785 --> 00:04:17,913
People's hearts will definitely be upset because of this.

43
00:04:17,996 --> 00:04:20,248
Don't make things worse.

44
00:04:20,874 --> 00:04:22,584
You have to be firm.

45
00:04:26,463 --> 00:04:29,257
I only ask because my heart feels tormented.

46
00:04:30,425 --> 00:04:31,843
Don't ignore my words.

47
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,613
Sorry, Your Majesty.

48
00:05:44,124 --> 00:05:47,919
Everyone thinks that I poisoned my sister.

49
00:05:55,301 --> 00:05:56,553
Do you know…

50
00:05:57,887 --> 00:06:00,348
who poisoned my sister, right?

51
00:06:15,822 --> 00:06:17,115
I will…

52
00:06:18,283 --> 00:06:19,784
brought new medicine.

53
00:06:21,077 --> 00:06:22,077
No need.

54
00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:27,167
That's enough for today.

55
00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:32,172
Good, Your Majesty.

56
00:07:48,581 --> 00:07:50,792
I should have cut the peach tree

57
00:07:50,875 --> 00:07:52,752
and bake from the beginning.

58
00:07:53,628 --> 00:07:56,589
Why was he scared just because of that tree?

59
00:07:57,173 --> 00:07:58,883
His Majesty considered the tree

60
00:07:59,717 --> 00:08:01,886
as his representative.

61
00:08:02,804 --> 00:08:06,975
That's why Your Majesty tried hard to bring the tree back to life.

62
00:08:07,976 --> 00:08:09,853
Don't talk stupid.

63
00:08:10,854 --> 00:08:14,107
This is all because the King has no son to inherit his throne.

64
00:08:14,691 --> 00:08:17,068
If the Queen could give birth to a crown prince,

65
00:08:17,861 --> 00:08:20,447
The king would not be deterred by something like this.

66
00:08:21,948 --> 00:08:26,077
Instead of betrothing the Grand Prince, looking for a new queen

67
00:08:26,828 --> 00:08:28,705
is a more urgent matter.

68
00:08:28,788 --> 00:08:30,832
Your Majesty's words are true.

69
00:08:31,583 --> 00:08:33,168
I will do it.

70
00:08:39,424 --> 00:08:41,468
Rumors about Your Majesty always spread quickly,

71
00:08:41,968 --> 00:08:44,596
like lighting a fire on a dry board.

72
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:46,890
With such a strange incident,

73
00:08:46,973 --> 00:08:49,601
rumors will spread quickly.

74
00:08:49,684 --> 00:08:52,437
The peach tree was a curse for the king.

75
00:08:53,563 --> 00:08:55,940
Don't say anything at the morning meeting tomorrow.

76
00:08:56,524 --> 00:08:58,776
Just leave it to the advisory board.

77
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,570
Good.

78
00:09:01,196 --> 00:09:03,615
How is Queen Father lately?

79
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,951
Her Majesty the Queen's illness is getting worse.

80
00:09:07,035 --> 00:09:09,412
So, Queen's father was very busy finding medicine for him.

81
00:09:09,954 --> 00:09:12,749
He said he couldn't come to the morning meeting tomorrow either.

82
00:09:13,333 --> 00:09:15,793
Her Majesty the Queen Mother also has a lot on her mind right now.

83
00:09:20,465 --> 00:09:22,759
In the near future, you and I need to have a discussion

84
00:09:22,842 --> 00:09:24,886
about marriage.

85
00:09:27,764 --> 00:09:28,764
Yes sir.

86
00:09:39,150 --> 00:09:40,735
Be careful on the road, sir.

87
00:09:48,076 --> 00:09:49,327
Sis.

88
00:09:49,410 --> 00:09:53,206
What does the Head of Directorate mean about marriage?

89
00:09:53,289 --> 00:09:55,375
Looks like there will be girls from our clan

90
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,544
who will become queen.

91
00:09:57,627 --> 00:09:58,627
What?

92
00:09:59,546 --> 00:10:01,339
So, that's the wedding

93
00:10:02,131 --> 00:10:04,300
to replace the position of Her Majesty the Queen?

94
00:10:06,427 --> 00:10:08,221
Don't tell anyone.

95
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,683
Good, Sis.

96
00:10:33,997 --> 00:10:35,039
Yesterday,

97
00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:40,003
The peach tree in the backyard caught fire because it was struck by lightning.

98
00:10:40,753 --> 00:10:41,838
This must be a sign…

99
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,885
to scold me

100
00:10:48,595 --> 00:10:50,221
What do you think?

101
00:11:01,941 --> 00:11:02,941
Your Majesty.

102
00:11:03,401 --> 00:11:05,486
Can I answer that?

103
00:11:07,739 --> 00:11:08,739
Please.

104
00:11:09,407 --> 00:11:10,407
Me

105
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,537
failed to carry out Your Majesty's order to bring the tree back to life,

106
00:11:14,621 --> 00:11:16,331
then the tree was struck by lightning.

107
00:11:17,624 --> 00:11:20,627
That means Heaven is punishing me.

108
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:22,128
There's no reason other than that.

109
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,714
So I'm ready to be punished.

110
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,301
Please give me appropriate punishment.

111
00:11:35,183 --> 00:11:36,392
Myung-ha.

112
00:11:38,227 --> 00:11:40,146
You have admitted your mistake

113
00:11:40,229 --> 00:11:42,482
and try to be responsible.

114
00:11:43,983 --> 00:11:45,109
That is a commendable act.

115
00:11:46,194 --> 00:11:48,780
So, enough with that. No need to feel guilty.

116
00:11:54,327 --> 00:11:55,536
Your Majesty.

117
00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:57,038
Sorry,

118
00:11:57,121 --> 00:11:58,498
but it is clear that he is guilty.

119
00:11:58,581 --> 00:12:01,125
What is your reason for not punishing him?

120
00:12:01,209 --> 00:12:02,960
Do you really think

121
00:12:03,044 --> 00:12:05,171
The sky made the lightning strike extremely terrifying

122
00:12:05,254 --> 00:12:08,341
just to get the Sixth Royal Secretary fired?

123
00:12:09,842 --> 00:12:11,427
Not so, Your Majesty.

124
00:12:11,511 --> 00:12:13,805
- However… - It should be the one who is afraid

125
00:12:13,888 --> 00:12:15,181
to Heaven and its punishment

126
00:12:15,264 --> 00:12:17,100
it's you, the council.

127
00:12:17,183 --> 00:12:18,684
Even I...

128
00:12:19,936 --> 00:12:22,188
cannot be excluded from that.

129
00:12:26,901 --> 00:12:28,653
Heaven sends disaster for me,

130
00:12:28,736 --> 00:12:31,322
the king of this nation, not Myung-ha.

131
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:36,869
Isn't that right, Head of Directorate?

132
00:12:41,124 --> 00:12:43,751
Your words are true.

133
00:12:44,252 --> 00:12:48,005
In my opinion, Heaven appreciates Your Highness very much

134
00:12:48,089 --> 00:12:53,302
That's why he sent lightning so that Your Majesty could be more alert.

135
00:13:00,476 --> 00:13:02,353
I'm Kim Je-nam, Inspector General,

136
00:13:02,437 --> 00:13:04,117
would like to express an opinion to you.

137
00:13:05,064 --> 00:13:06,064
Please.

138
00:13:07,024 --> 00:13:10,695
If Your Majesty uses this opportunity to correct the evil

139
00:13:10,778 --> 00:13:13,448
which disgusts the nation, and also harms the people,

140
00:13:13,531 --> 00:13:17,034
I'm sure that disaster can turn into happiness in the future.

141
00:13:21,831 --> 00:13:23,416
Your words make my heart…

142
00:13:25,042 --> 00:13:26,127
quieter.

143
00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:27,851
Listen, Chief Royal Secretary.

144
00:13:28,421 --> 00:13:29,547
Yes, Your Majesty.

145
00:13:30,089 --> 00:13:31,424
Please speak.

146
00:13:32,008 --> 00:13:35,052
Every government office is obliged to investigate any wrongdoing in it

147
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,889
and report it to me along with the solution.

148
00:13:37,972 --> 00:13:39,891
This all happens to everyone,

149
00:13:39,974 --> 00:13:43,561
starting from superiors to subordinates.

150
00:13:43,644 --> 00:13:44,729
Do you understand?

151
00:13:44,812 --> 00:13:47,440
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

152
00:13:47,523 --> 00:13:48,941
Listen up, Left Advisor.

153
00:13:50,443 --> 00:13:54,947
Quickly make a list of officials to investigate the regional leaders

154
00:13:55,031 --> 00:13:56,908
mischievous and greedy for wealth,

155
00:13:56,991 --> 00:14:00,244
whether still working or retired.

156
00:14:01,162 --> 00:14:03,706
I will do it right away, Your Majesty.

157
00:14:17,428 --> 00:14:18,428
Choam.

158
00:14:19,722 --> 00:14:20,973
Wait a minute.

159
00:14:27,939 --> 00:14:29,649
Did you call me?

160
00:14:29,732 --> 00:14:31,901
I'm late greeting you.

161
00:14:31,984 --> 00:14:34,070
Congratulations on becoming inspector general.

162
00:14:35,363 --> 00:14:36,614
I don't know if it's appropriate

163
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,451
get congratulations on a day like this.

164
00:14:41,035 --> 00:14:43,579
However, thank you for your words.

165
00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:47,250
You still have to be saved even if there is a disaster.

166
00:14:47,917 --> 00:14:51,128
I want to throw a party to welcome your arrival.

167
00:14:51,712 --> 00:14:52,839
When are you free?

168
00:14:55,091 --> 00:14:56,717
Sorry,

169
00:14:56,801 --> 00:14:58,469
looks like I can't.

170
00:14:59,387 --> 00:15:02,181
I was appointed directly by Your Majesty to hold this position.

171
00:15:02,265 --> 00:15:05,977
It seems inappropriate to visit the home of an influential family like yours.

172
00:15:07,019 --> 00:15:08,019
Besides that,

173
00:15:08,437 --> 00:15:11,607
please don't call me Choam again.

174
00:15:11,691 --> 00:15:12,817
Just my friend

175
00:15:13,734 --> 00:15:15,945
who can call me that.

176
00:15:36,841 --> 00:15:37,841
Teacher.

177
00:15:38,301 --> 00:15:42,471
Does the sky really want to destroy our nation so that lightning strikes?

178
00:15:47,184 --> 00:15:48,227
How

179
00:15:48,936 --> 00:15:50,646
according to Your Majesty?

180
00:15:51,647 --> 00:15:52,815
According to me,

181
00:15:54,066 --> 00:15:56,819
Heaven will not be that bad.

182
00:16:02,491 --> 00:16:05,286
However, I'm a little worried.

183
00:16:05,369 --> 00:16:08,623
The peach tree my father planted caught fire.

184
00:16:09,498 --> 00:16:12,084
His Majesty the King must have felt restless.

185
00:16:13,252 --> 00:16:15,838
I want to comfort Your Majesty, but I don't know how.

186
00:16:17,381 --> 00:16:18,549
What Your Highness…

187
00:16:20,051 --> 00:16:21,886
not afraid of the King?

188
00:16:21,969 --> 00:16:23,471
Of course I'm scared.

189
00:16:25,014 --> 00:16:27,767
Just like when you wronged Your Majesty at that time.

190
00:16:29,477 --> 00:16:31,395
However, other days, I'm not afraid at all.

191
00:16:34,023 --> 00:16:36,859
I've heard the court ladies chatting.

192
00:16:37,652 --> 00:16:40,863
He said His Majesty would definitely hurt me.

193
00:16:43,699 --> 00:16:45,493
So, His Majesty remains unafraid

194
00:16:46,369 --> 00:16:48,079
even though you have heard the conversation?

195
00:16:48,162 --> 00:16:51,123
It's impossible for the Majesty I know to hurt me.

196
00:16:53,209 --> 00:16:55,753
Your Majesty will also definitely protect Sis Myung-ha.

197
00:17:05,346 --> 00:17:06,346
Honourable.

198
00:17:07,890 --> 00:17:09,809
Look. I was right?

199
00:17:15,398 --> 00:17:18,442
Thank goodness His Majesty believed in His Majesty the King.

200
00:17:18,526 --> 00:17:20,236
Your Majesty will be in danger

201
00:17:20,903 --> 00:17:23,072
if against the King.

202
00:17:24,031 --> 00:17:25,032
However,

203
00:17:25,658 --> 00:17:28,119
One day His Majesty will surely find out...

204
00:17:29,704 --> 00:17:30,913
that His Majesty the King

205
00:17:31,539 --> 00:17:33,666
is a very cruel person.

206
00:17:35,126 --> 00:17:36,293
My father died

207
00:17:36,961 --> 00:17:39,171
before my eyes because of the King's sword

208
00:17:39,255 --> 00:17:41,424
which he deliberately swung in front of everyone.

209
00:17:41,507 --> 00:17:42,591
Even wild animals...

210
00:17:44,427 --> 00:17:46,971
definitely revenge if his mother was killed like that.

211
00:17:49,765 --> 00:17:53,436
Even though the King saved and forgave me a thousand times,

212
00:17:54,353 --> 00:17:55,354
he still…

213
00:17:56,397 --> 00:17:58,399
the enemy who killed my father.

214
00:18:24,341 --> 00:18:27,261
Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King came.

215
00:18:31,974 --> 00:18:34,060
Welcome, Your Majesty.

216
00:18:34,685 --> 00:18:38,064
Sorry, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment

217
00:18:38,147 --> 00:18:39,857
because Her Majesty the Queen is preparing.

218
00:18:52,828 --> 00:18:54,371
It is finished, Your Majesty.

219
00:19:03,631 --> 00:19:04,548
So,

220
00:19:04,632 --> 00:19:06,926
when do you think your majesty will recover?

221
00:19:08,552 --> 00:19:11,430
We can only know the symptoms of the disease by feeling the pulse.

222
00:19:12,014 --> 00:19:13,933
We will count your pulse and give you medicine

223
00:19:14,016 --> 00:19:16,102
every morning and night.

224
00:19:20,022 --> 00:19:21,065
Dad…

225
00:19:23,901 --> 00:19:25,027
Do not be like that…

226
00:19:26,028 --> 00:19:27,404
impolite in front of you.

227
00:19:29,573 --> 00:19:31,242
Sorry, Your Majesty.

228
00:19:31,325 --> 00:19:32,326
It doesn't matter.

229
00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:38,332
The Queen can't rest if I'm here.

230
00:19:39,416 --> 00:19:41,043
I'll just say goodbye then.

231
00:19:42,419 --> 00:19:44,797
Your Majesty, stay here for a while.

232
00:19:45,714 --> 00:19:49,969
The King and Queen have not been together for a long time.

233
00:19:54,265 --> 00:19:55,516
No?

234
00:19:58,853 --> 00:20:00,729
As long as you are ready,

235
00:20:01,438 --> 00:20:02,982
please stay here first.

236
00:20:07,778 --> 00:20:08,821
Okay.

237
00:20:13,492 --> 00:20:15,536
Serve tea to Your Majesty.

238
00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:37,474
Could it be the Queen

239
00:20:38,642 --> 00:20:40,811
also poisoned like my brother?

240
00:20:40,895 --> 00:20:41,895
No, Your Majesty.

241
00:20:42,396 --> 00:20:45,274
Her Majesty the Queen is indeed weak,

242
00:20:45,357 --> 00:20:47,193
and the disease got worse.

243
00:20:49,069 --> 00:20:50,571
How long can he last?

244
00:20:52,823 --> 00:20:56,535
Forgive my insolence,

245
00:20:58,829 --> 00:21:01,332
but it seems that the Queen will not last long.

246
00:21:17,681 --> 00:21:21,101
There's something I want to talk to my father about.

247
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:30,277
What do you want to say until you ask His Majesty's lady-in-waiting to come out?

248
00:21:31,570 --> 00:21:33,155
Even though it might torture Dad,

249
00:21:33,822 --> 00:21:36,742
please keep listening to my words until the end.

250
00:21:37,993 --> 00:21:40,454
Do not say when will torture. Dad refused.

251
00:21:40,537 --> 00:21:42,039
Dad…

252
00:22:13,153 --> 00:22:14,530
If so, say so.

253
00:22:18,826 --> 00:22:19,910
It seems like

254
00:22:20,828 --> 00:22:22,079
I will

255
00:22:22,663 --> 00:22:25,708
leave Dad immediately.

256
00:22:28,210 --> 00:22:29,295
Impossible.

257
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Your Majesty's mental state is only weak because His Majesty's body is sick.

258
00:22:32,923 --> 00:22:35,551
A brave fortune teller from Mount Baekdu said

259
00:22:36,301 --> 00:22:39,263
that His Majesty's destiny is very good and rare.

260
00:22:39,346 --> 00:22:41,348
It is said that it can produce offspring

261
00:22:41,432 --> 00:22:43,475
who inherits Your Majesty's throne and long life.

262
00:22:45,936 --> 00:22:47,479
Dad…

263
00:22:47,563 --> 00:22:49,606
Your Majesty, hold on.

264
00:22:49,690 --> 00:22:52,067
Dad will find a healer who can cure him

265
00:22:52,151 --> 00:22:54,653
even though I have to use all my father's wealth.

266
00:22:58,824 --> 00:23:01,368
People criticized Dad

267
00:23:01,910 --> 00:23:04,163
as a greedy and stingy person.

268
00:23:05,372 --> 00:23:07,708
However, for me Dad is a person

269
00:23:08,417 --> 00:23:10,502
generous and loving.

270
00:23:13,047 --> 00:23:16,258
Actually, I'm really scared every time I think about it

271
00:23:17,384 --> 00:23:18,927
must go to death

272
00:23:19,428 --> 00:23:20,888
alone.

273
00:23:31,523 --> 00:23:35,110
However, I promise I will remember the warm grip of Dad's hand...

274
00:23:37,404 --> 00:23:39,740
who always looks after me

275
00:23:40,324 --> 00:23:41,617
which is full of stupidity.

276
00:23:52,211 --> 00:23:53,337
Dad

277
00:23:54,671 --> 00:23:56,673
I have one request.

278
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,968
I want Dad to grant my request.

279
00:24:01,678 --> 00:24:02,846
before dying,

280
00:24:03,722 --> 00:24:06,642
I want to protect Grand Prince Munseong.

281
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:11,730
I know His Highness loves him.

282
00:24:12,272 --> 00:24:15,192
However, it is not an easy thing.

283
00:24:16,610 --> 00:24:18,403
Grand Prince Munseong will be safe

284
00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:21,281
if he becomes crown prince.

285
00:24:23,826 --> 00:24:25,786
Dad, please make a petition

286
00:24:26,495 --> 00:24:28,705
and convey to His Majesty the King.

287
00:25:02,823 --> 00:25:06,160
Make sure to maintain your manners in front of His Majesty.

288
00:25:06,243 --> 00:25:07,286
I understand.

289
00:25:30,809 --> 00:25:33,145
This is a precious ginseng that is hundreds of years old.

290
00:25:34,021 --> 00:25:36,231
I got it the hard way

291
00:25:36,773 --> 00:25:39,193
so that Her Majesty the Queen Mother can live a long life.

292
00:25:40,736 --> 00:25:41,737
Thank You.

293
00:25:42,321 --> 00:25:43,488
I accept it with pleasure.

294
00:25:51,747 --> 00:25:52,956
Serve him tea.

295
00:26:12,184 --> 00:26:13,184
By the way,

296
00:26:13,769 --> 00:26:15,771
How old is your niece this year?

297
00:26:16,355 --> 00:26:17,356
Yes, Your Highness.

298
00:26:17,898 --> 00:26:22,152
The older one is 17 years old and the younger one is 16 years old.

299
00:26:25,072 --> 00:26:27,991
They are good, healthy girls

300
00:26:28,075 --> 00:26:30,160
with no history of illness at all.

301
00:26:31,453 --> 00:26:33,163
The women of my clan

302
00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:35,290
gave birth to many sons.

303
00:26:36,124 --> 00:26:37,793
OK, I understand.

304
00:26:38,293 --> 00:26:40,337
Drink before the tea cools.

305
00:26:40,420 --> 00:26:41,588
Thank you, Your Highness.

306
00:27:22,546 --> 00:27:25,048
Why bring Yoo hyun-bo, instead of Min Ji-hwan?

307
00:27:25,924 --> 00:27:28,468
He is just greedy, not authoritative and educated.

308
00:27:28,552 --> 00:27:30,595
That's why he's the right person.

309
00:27:31,513 --> 00:27:35,142
In order not to be accused of only prioritizing the relatives of the King's mother,

310
00:27:35,726 --> 00:27:38,937
I am willing to humble myself by being called the Three Friends of Hwan.

311
00:27:39,021 --> 00:27:40,480
However, how long must that be?

312
00:27:41,273 --> 00:27:43,275
I can't share power anymore

313
00:27:43,358 --> 00:27:46,653
in order to continue to be able to help and protect Your Majesty.

314
00:27:47,446 --> 00:27:48,864
My decision is final.

315
00:27:52,993 --> 00:27:54,828
Your decision is good.

316
00:27:56,204 --> 00:27:58,373
However, Min Ji-hwan would not remain silent.

317
00:27:59,082 --> 00:28:00,792
He had full expectations about this.

318
00:28:00,876 --> 00:28:02,711
I'll explain it so he understands.

319
00:28:03,211 --> 00:28:05,088
Is it enough to explain in words?

320
00:28:19,936 --> 00:28:22,856
What did you say just now?

321
00:28:23,732 --> 00:28:25,609
The future wife of the Grand Prince of Munseong?

322
00:28:26,193 --> 00:28:29,071
Did I hear wrong?

323
00:28:29,154 --> 00:28:30,739
You heard right.

324
00:28:30,822 --> 00:28:33,367
What if your daughter becomes the Grand Prince's wife?

325
00:28:33,450 --> 00:28:34,493
sir

326
00:28:35,077 --> 00:28:37,913
Didn't you say that my daughter would be made queen?

327
00:28:37,996 --> 00:28:40,040
I said I wanted to discuss marriage,

328
00:28:40,123 --> 00:28:42,125
I never said to be queen.

329
00:28:43,126 --> 00:28:44,252
Is…

330
00:28:45,420 --> 00:28:46,755
Is this because of Yoo Hyun-bo?

331
00:28:46,838 --> 00:28:49,049
That is none of your business.

332
00:28:50,133 --> 00:28:52,177
What did I do wrong to you?

333
00:28:52,260 --> 00:28:54,763
Don't think of this marriage as a punishment.

334
00:28:54,846 --> 00:28:56,306
However, this is not a gift either!

335
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,270
What do you think of everything you have achieved so far?

336
00:29:06,525 --> 00:29:08,902
Think carefully and quickly give me an answer.

337
00:29:18,078 --> 00:29:19,121
Hey!

338
00:29:19,621 --> 00:29:21,915
Why did it take so long to open the door?

339
00:29:25,335 --> 00:29:27,838
Sis, why are you so angry?

340
00:29:28,755 --> 00:29:30,132
I am not angry.

341
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,844
Sis, we actually have guests.

342
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,723
Who dares to visit at night like this?

343
00:29:47,315 --> 00:29:48,859
Why the Sixth Royal Secretary

344
00:29:48,942 --> 00:29:50,527
and Gidaeryeong Who is here?

345
00:29:51,027 --> 00:29:53,739
We came to give the Baduk board to the Third Minister.

346
00:29:53,822 --> 00:29:56,742
Then, we wait for you first to say hello.

347
00:29:56,825 --> 00:29:59,119
I don't want to receive guests.

348
00:29:59,202 --> 00:30:00,203
You guys just go home.

349
00:30:00,996 --> 00:30:02,456
I am very tired.

350
00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:05,625
You are shocked because the wedding was promised

351
00:30:05,709 --> 00:30:08,128
not to be queen?

352
00:30:10,672 --> 00:30:12,424
Sang-hyo, did you tell them?

353
00:30:12,924 --> 00:30:14,926
No.

354
00:30:15,594 --> 00:30:17,596
However, are what he said true?

355
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:19,139
Not to be queen?

356
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:21,683
Head of Directorate

357
00:30:22,267 --> 00:30:24,603
definitely offer marriage to the Great Prince.

358
00:30:27,063 --> 00:30:28,607
Apparently the Baduk board is a pretext.

359
00:30:30,108 --> 00:30:31,777
Let's talk about it inside.

360
00:30:36,156 --> 00:30:38,241
Accept the offer of marriage

361
00:30:38,825 --> 00:30:39,826
with the Grand Prince.

362
00:30:39,910 --> 00:30:43,330
That's the same as telling you to enter a tiger's cage.

363
00:30:43,413 --> 00:30:44,414
Sis.

364
00:30:44,498 --> 00:30:48,084
You know what happens if you refuse this marriage, right?

365
00:30:48,168 --> 00:30:50,212
My entire clan will suffer a disaster.

366
00:30:50,295 --> 00:30:52,589
Why does the Head of Directorate give

367
00:30:52,672 --> 00:30:54,549
such a big disaster to our clan?

368
00:30:55,133 --> 00:30:56,134
Head of Directorate

369
00:30:56,218 --> 00:30:58,970
making the Queen's father and the Minister of War his two wings

370
00:30:59,054 --> 00:31:00,430
when making Your Majesty king.

371
00:31:00,514 --> 00:31:03,141
He controls the board behind the nickname Three Hwan Friends

372
00:31:03,225 --> 00:31:05,185
and aiming for complete power.

373
00:31:05,268 --> 00:31:08,063
However, Kim Je-nam was appointed.

374
00:31:08,647 --> 00:31:11,066
So, he thought he could no longer share his power.

375
00:31:11,149 --> 00:31:14,402
He knows that you who control the teams will not stay silent.

376
00:31:14,486 --> 00:31:16,196
So, for the sake of breaking both your legs,

377
00:31:16,988 --> 00:31:18,990
he asked your daughter to marry the Grand Prince.

378
00:31:19,074 --> 00:31:22,536
If our clan has a queen, it means we will be stronger.

379
00:31:22,619 --> 00:31:25,372
Apparently he wanted to avoid that happening.

380
00:31:26,206 --> 00:31:27,749
So, what's the point of what you're saying?

381
00:31:27,833 --> 00:31:30,168
The Head of the Directorate broke both wings

382
00:31:31,503 --> 00:31:33,255
will be worn by the Grand Prince Munseong.

383
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,173
Then, Grand Prince Munseong

384
00:31:36,174 --> 00:31:38,635
will be the heir to the throne of His Majesty the King.

385
00:31:40,554 --> 00:31:42,264
This all depends on your decision.

386
00:31:43,014 --> 00:31:44,599
What do you want?

387
00:31:45,934 --> 00:31:47,644
That's not an easy thing.

388
00:31:48,979 --> 00:31:51,982
When discussing the inauguration of the crown prince,

389
00:31:52,065 --> 00:31:53,817
then immediately considered a traitor.

390
00:31:54,776 --> 00:31:55,944
However,

391
00:31:56,528 --> 00:31:58,822
it seems like your clan is doomed.

392
00:32:01,116 --> 00:32:02,117
Isn't that so?

393
00:32:09,374 --> 00:32:11,501
I have to know what's in Your Majesty's heart.

394
00:32:22,929 --> 00:32:23,929
Gidaeryeong.

395
00:32:25,932 --> 00:32:27,392
Your Majesty is looking for you.

396
00:32:27,976 --> 00:32:28,977
Follow me.

397
00:32:35,191 --> 00:32:37,402
From the start, I actually wanted that.

398
00:32:38,028 --> 00:32:40,322
It's just that it hasn't been discussed with the council.

399
00:32:40,822 --> 00:32:45,327
I will report again to Your Majesty after making detailed plans.

400
00:32:45,911 --> 00:32:46,911
Okay.

401
00:32:47,287 --> 00:32:49,664
Then, I'll excuse myself.

402
00:33:03,136 --> 00:33:04,136
Your Majesty.

403
00:33:04,638 --> 00:33:05,764
Gidaeryeong came.

404
00:33:25,784 --> 00:33:28,078
Why look at me like that?

405
00:33:29,871 --> 00:33:31,164
Sorry, Your Majesty.

406
00:33:32,582 --> 00:33:35,335
Yesterday, Your Majesty looked very sad.

407
00:33:37,045 --> 00:33:40,215
However, thankfully today, Your Majesty looks bright.

408
00:33:42,050 --> 00:33:45,303
Human feelings are strange.

409
00:33:46,805 --> 00:33:49,182
"Hoping for life when you love them,

410
00:33:50,517 --> 00:33:52,894
and death when you hate them.

411
00:33:54,938 --> 00:33:58,608
Hope they live as long as they hope to die.

412
00:34:00,568 --> 00:34:02,862
Such shifting contradictions are incitement.”

413
00:34:05,740 --> 00:34:09,202
Those are the words of a wise man that the late King liked.

414
00:34:09,911 --> 00:34:13,623
I think it means only that the king must not fall into sedition.

415
00:34:14,958 --> 00:34:16,334
However, now I understand.

416
00:34:18,420 --> 00:34:20,213
Even though this tree is dead,

417
00:34:21,715 --> 00:34:24,884
my heart will remain alive with its roots

418
00:34:25,885 --> 00:34:27,262
which is elsewhere.

419
00:34:29,347 --> 00:34:31,307
Thinking so calmed me down.

420
00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:37,689
Why would you leave this peach tree empty?

421
00:34:37,772 --> 00:34:40,275
I have promised to plant another tree.

422
00:34:41,234 --> 00:34:43,611
This peach tree that has burned to ashes…

423
00:34:46,656 --> 00:34:49,200
would make a good fertilizer.

424
00:34:55,457 --> 00:34:57,292
Your Majesty ordered to plant another tree

425
00:34:57,375 --> 00:35:00,128
because it can be a good fertilizer?

426
00:35:02,422 --> 00:35:04,049
What does it mean?

427
00:35:04,132 --> 00:35:05,675
It seems you mean

428
00:35:05,759 --> 00:35:08,178
looking for a successor who will inherit his throne.

429
00:35:09,429 --> 00:35:12,348
However, how can you be sure it is the Grand Prince in question?

430
00:35:12,932 --> 00:35:15,268
There is no one your Majesty likes among his relatives.

431
00:35:15,769 --> 00:35:17,228
There is only Grand Prince Munseong.

432
00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:20,940
I never thought of it

433
00:35:21,733 --> 00:35:23,902
His Majesty saw Prince Agung as his successor.

434
00:35:24,402 --> 00:35:26,780
Tell this to your sister.

435
00:35:27,781 --> 00:35:28,865
Good.

436
00:35:29,449 --> 00:35:31,076
However, nothing can be guaranteed.

437
00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:34,871
My brother is not easily satisfied with mere assumptions.

438
00:35:35,872 --> 00:35:36,872
I know it.

439
00:35:39,334 --> 00:35:41,503
That is true. The Baduk board is good.

440
00:35:41,586 --> 00:35:44,672
Let's bet Baduk sometime without Your Majesty knowing.

441
00:35:44,756 --> 00:35:45,882
Good.

442
00:35:45,965 --> 00:35:48,968
I will remember it, although I don't know when it will be implemented.

443
00:35:57,644 --> 00:36:00,730
It seemed like Min Ji-hwan wouldn't believe it.

444
00:36:01,397 --> 00:36:02,774
Actually, me too

445
00:36:02,857 --> 00:36:05,276
I don't believe that Your Majesty supports the Great Prince.

446
00:36:06,236 --> 00:36:08,321
What else is Min Ji-hwan?

447
00:36:08,905 --> 00:36:09,905
I'm certain.

448
00:36:10,490 --> 00:36:13,785
You support the Great Prince.

449
00:36:15,203 --> 00:36:16,579
Yesterday,

450
00:36:16,663 --> 00:36:19,666
I felt the same impression when you repeated the words of the Great Prince.

451
00:36:21,334 --> 00:36:22,627
However it seems…

452
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,755
You want to trust Your Majesty.

453
00:37:14,095 --> 00:37:15,095
Queen's father.

454
00:37:20,518 --> 00:37:23,396
How is Her Majesty the Queen?

455
00:37:23,479 --> 00:37:24,479
Why?

456
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,984
Are you curious when the position becomes vacant?

457
00:37:29,652 --> 00:37:31,237
Maybe you don't believe it,

458
00:37:32,530 --> 00:37:34,282
but I also felt sad.

459
00:37:35,366 --> 00:37:36,951
Looks like the Head of Directorate

460
00:37:37,952 --> 00:37:41,456
intending to give the queen's throne to Yoo Hyun-bo's clan.

461
00:37:45,877 --> 00:37:47,712
I had expected that too.

462
00:37:56,387 --> 00:37:59,515
The Queen ordered me to make a request to His Majesty the King

463
00:38:00,099 --> 00:38:02,727
to appoint Prince Agung as crown prince.

464
00:38:03,603 --> 00:38:05,230
Want to work on it with me?

465
00:38:07,232 --> 00:38:09,609
It's like you're inviting me to die together.

466
00:38:09,692 --> 00:38:11,986
Just accept it if you have to die. There's no other way.

467
00:38:12,570 --> 00:38:15,031
It's better to try first than to die in vain.

468
00:38:34,759 --> 00:38:36,344
I accepted the offer of marriage

469
00:38:37,929 --> 00:38:39,097
with the Grand Prince.

470
00:38:41,099 --> 00:38:42,725
Say your terms.

471
00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:45,228
I will cease to be Minister of War

472
00:38:46,104 --> 00:38:47,664
and asked to be positioned elsewhere.

473
00:38:47,689 --> 00:38:48,689
As a replacement,

474
00:38:50,316 --> 00:38:52,757
give me a leadership position in the Royal Confucian Academy.

475
00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:54,570
So, you let go of your army

476
00:38:54,654 --> 00:38:56,864
was your clan saved from destruction?

477
00:38:57,865 --> 00:39:02,036
I just want to be in a position that doesn't endanger your power.

478
00:39:04,038 --> 00:39:05,081
Okay.

479
00:39:06,249 --> 00:39:07,292
I'll grant it.

480
00:39:33,693 --> 00:39:35,820
The Minister of War is very suspicious.

481
00:39:36,404 --> 00:39:39,490
He shouldn't have agreed so easily.

482
00:39:40,074 --> 00:39:41,200
No problem.

483
00:39:41,951 --> 00:39:45,204
The Min clan could no longer rule in the royal council.

484
00:39:46,706 --> 00:39:48,166
At tomorrow's morning meeting,

485
00:39:48,249 --> 00:39:50,752
You have to make a suggestion to Your Majesty.

486
00:39:50,835 --> 00:39:52,378
Say, "The Great Prince has grown up

487
00:39:52,462 --> 00:39:54,881
and have to get married, then leave the palace."

488
00:39:55,548 --> 00:39:56,674
Say it like that.

489
00:39:58,426 --> 00:39:59,761
Yes sir.

490
00:40:17,153 --> 00:40:18,196
Enough.

491
00:40:21,115 --> 00:40:23,451
Go home and rest, Great Prince.

492
00:40:25,578 --> 00:40:26,996
It's okay, Your Highness.

493
00:40:28,247 --> 00:40:31,250
I will be by your side until you fall asleep.

494
00:41:05,284 --> 00:41:09,414
Correcting errors in each government office takes time.

495
00:41:09,497 --> 00:41:10,540
Previously,

496
00:41:11,082 --> 00:41:13,084
we need to take action

497
00:41:13,167 --> 00:41:14,961
to calm the hearts of the people.

498
00:41:18,381 --> 00:41:20,049
Usually, when there is a disaster like this,

499
00:41:20,133 --> 00:41:22,802
the people are calmed down by doing daesaryeong .

500
00:41:22,885 --> 00:41:24,530
DAESARYEONG : PROVIDING AMNESTY OR RELEASING CRIMINALS

501
00:41:24,554 --> 00:41:26,889
Free criminals and grant mercy

502
00:41:27,473 --> 00:41:30,518
will be effective in suppressing evil and terrible rumors

503
00:41:30,601 --> 00:41:32,311
which can make people anxious.

504
00:41:32,395 --> 00:41:34,981
The effectiveness of such temporary solutions has its limits.

505
00:41:35,064 --> 00:41:37,567
Are there no other suggestions?

506
00:41:45,825 --> 00:41:46,825
Me

507
00:41:47,952 --> 00:41:49,328
permission to speak, sire.

508
00:41:51,789 --> 00:41:52,789
Please.

509
00:42:08,181 --> 00:42:09,390
This time a disaster occurred

510
00:42:10,725 --> 00:42:12,059
because I

511
00:42:12,768 --> 00:42:14,854
and my clan.

512
00:42:15,938 --> 00:42:17,690
What do you mean?

513
00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:22,445
If only Your Majesty had a son to succeed the throne,

514
00:42:23,154 --> 00:42:27,116
it was impossible for Heaven to strike this palace with lightning.

515
00:42:27,950 --> 00:42:28,993
If that's the case,

516
00:42:29,660 --> 00:42:32,079
The people will not worry because of this either.

517
00:42:33,706 --> 00:42:35,917
What's worse,

518
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,461
Her Majesty's condition did not improve.

519
00:42:39,712 --> 00:42:44,008
I'm sure this is my fault as well as my clan's.

520
00:42:44,091 --> 00:42:45,134
Father-in-law.

521
00:42:48,179 --> 00:42:49,972
Do not think like that.

522
00:42:50,056 --> 00:42:51,390
I'm a bit

523
00:42:52,558 --> 00:42:54,685
never thought it was Dad's fault.

524
00:42:57,563 --> 00:42:58,731
Your Majesty's words

525
00:43:00,107 --> 00:43:02,568
really touched my heart.

526
00:43:04,445 --> 00:43:08,491
With all my courage, I want to make a request to Your Majesty.

527
00:43:12,954 --> 00:43:14,038
I…

528
00:43:16,290 --> 00:43:18,543
beg with my tears!

529
00:43:20,753 --> 00:43:23,548
Please appoint Grand Prince Munseong as crown prince

530
00:43:24,549 --> 00:43:28,427
and ensure the future of this nation!

531
00:43:28,511 --> 00:43:29,720
Your Majesty!

532
00:43:30,221 --> 00:43:31,681
The Queen's Father's application

533
00:43:31,764 --> 00:43:34,433
the same as trampling on Your Majesty and this nation!

534
00:43:35,184 --> 00:43:38,020
This is a form of betrayal!

535
00:43:38,104 --> 00:43:40,690
He must be immediately interrogated and tried,

536
00:43:40,773 --> 00:43:44,110
then punished severely!

537
00:43:56,038 --> 00:43:58,708
Do you all think the same as the Head of Directorate?

538
00:44:06,007 --> 00:44:07,341
According to me,

539
00:44:07,925 --> 00:44:10,386
His Majesty the King should grant the Queen's Father's request.

540
00:44:11,053 --> 00:44:12,053
Inspector General.

541
00:44:12,513 --> 00:44:14,140
Think again.

542
00:44:15,141 --> 00:44:17,018
If you support it,

543
00:44:17,101 --> 00:44:19,520
You too could be considered a traitor.

544
00:44:19,604 --> 00:44:20,604
Inspector General.

545
00:44:23,149 --> 00:44:25,860
What reason do I have to grant his request?

546
00:44:26,652 --> 00:44:29,238
If Your Majesty makes Grand Prince Munseong his successor,

547
00:44:29,739 --> 00:44:31,282
there are three advantages.

548
00:44:32,408 --> 00:44:34,702
Firstly, if the Grand Prince becomes the crown prince,

549
00:44:34,785 --> 00:44:36,454
the heir to your throne is certain.

550
00:44:36,537 --> 00:44:39,999
Second, it can relieve people's anxiety.

551
00:44:40,082 --> 00:44:41,082
Third,

552
00:44:41,584 --> 00:44:44,170
the terrible rumors will subside by themselves.

553
00:44:44,670 --> 00:44:47,048
There is no better solution than this.

554
00:44:47,131 --> 00:44:49,800
Don't talk carelessly!

555
00:44:50,509 --> 00:44:53,387
Grand Prince Munseong is the son of the late king.

556
00:44:54,013 --> 00:44:56,474
If the Grand Prince becomes crown prince,

557
00:44:56,557 --> 00:44:58,851
It means that you bypass the existing line of inheritance,

558
00:44:59,727 --> 00:45:03,856
and His Majesty's throne could now be considered an abuse.

559
00:45:03,939 --> 00:45:07,526
This could endanger His Majesty's reign

560
00:45:07,610 --> 00:45:10,654
and provide opportunities for betrayal!

561
00:45:11,155 --> 00:45:12,740
That's not a big deal.

562
00:45:19,497 --> 00:45:21,791
If Your Majesty adopts Prince Agung as a son,

563
00:45:21,874 --> 00:45:23,542
then appointed him crown prince,

564
00:45:23,626 --> 00:45:25,711
things like that can be resolved easily.

565
00:45:27,338 --> 00:45:30,216
Isn't that right, Head of Directorate?

566
00:45:30,925 --> 00:45:32,134
Your Majesty!

567
00:45:32,218 --> 00:45:36,764
Honestly, that's the reason I asked Your Majesty to appoint the Grand Prince!

568
00:45:37,765 --> 00:45:39,850
Please grant my request, Your Majesty!

569
00:45:41,310 --> 00:45:43,646
Before Her Majesty the Queen died,

570
00:45:44,313 --> 00:45:46,899
please make the Great Prince your Majesty's successor,

571
00:45:47,733 --> 00:45:49,110
and appointed him

572
00:45:49,193 --> 00:45:51,946
become the Crown Prince!

573
00:46:25,646 --> 00:46:27,857
Your Majesty is coming.

574
00:46:46,208 --> 00:46:48,961
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

575
00:46:49,044 --> 00:46:51,881
I haven't had time to get ready yet.

576
00:46:53,090 --> 00:46:55,718
Stay rested. You're sick.

577
00:46:57,595 --> 00:46:59,221
I want to ask something.

578
00:47:07,062 --> 00:47:08,147
You can go out.

579
00:47:22,453 --> 00:47:23,746
At today's meeting,

580
00:47:24,747 --> 00:47:26,290
your father asked me...

581
00:47:29,418 --> 00:47:32,338
appointed Prince Agung as crown prince.

582
00:47:38,344 --> 00:47:39,970
Do you know about that too?

583
00:47:44,183 --> 00:47:45,893
I'm the one who wants that.

584
00:47:47,770 --> 00:47:49,146
What is the reason?

585
00:47:57,530 --> 00:47:58,530
I am…

586
00:47:59,490 --> 00:48:01,367
a bad wife for Your Majesty

587
00:48:02,910 --> 00:48:04,119
and disobedient children

588
00:48:04,995 --> 00:48:06,288
for my father.

589
00:48:06,372 --> 00:48:07,373
Don't…

590
00:48:13,337 --> 00:48:15,256
Don't say that.

591
00:48:24,223 --> 00:48:26,600
Why do I only know now...

592
00:48:28,936 --> 00:48:30,646
that Your Majesty is this warm?

593
00:48:31,146 --> 00:48:32,231
It's my fault.

594
00:48:34,358 --> 00:48:35,358
So far,

595
00:48:36,443 --> 00:48:37,778
I've become...

596
00:48:41,282 --> 00:48:44,034
useless husband to you, Queen.

597
00:48:48,747 --> 00:48:49,790
No, Your Majesty.

598
00:48:52,001 --> 00:48:54,920
This is not one person's fault.

599
00:48:57,673 --> 00:48:59,383
I will answer your question.

600
00:49:00,801 --> 00:49:01,801
Before death,

601
00:49:02,428 --> 00:49:04,763
as my last assignment,

602
00:49:05,931 --> 00:49:09,101
I want to remove one of your worries.

603
00:49:10,102 --> 00:49:11,395
If that's done,

604
00:49:12,021 --> 00:49:15,774
I'm sure Grand Prince Munseong can live in peace.

605
00:49:18,944 --> 00:49:22,156
So, that was your wish from the start?

606
00:49:23,324 --> 00:49:24,366
Of.

607
00:49:25,367 --> 00:49:26,410
That…

608
00:49:28,662 --> 00:49:29,747
what I expected.

609
00:49:33,792 --> 00:49:36,211
You don't have to

610
00:49:36,295 --> 00:49:37,963
if you don't feel free.

611
00:49:39,590 --> 00:49:41,175
You can

612
00:49:41,258 --> 00:49:43,302
punish me for my impudence,

613
00:49:44,595 --> 00:49:45,638
but…

614
00:49:47,097 --> 00:49:52,144
Please don't punish my father and Grand Prince Munseong.

615
00:50:05,783 --> 00:50:07,242
I'm going to Yeongchwijeong.

616
00:50:07,326 --> 00:50:08,994
Call Gidaeryeong Kang Mong-woo.

617
00:50:09,078 --> 00:50:10,079
Good, Your Majesty.

618
00:50:26,345 --> 00:50:27,930
This is about the request of the Queen's father.

619
00:50:29,848 --> 00:50:32,434
Were you the one who suggested that to the Queen?

620
00:50:35,729 --> 00:50:36,729
Of.

621
00:50:38,148 --> 00:50:41,110
Her Majesty the Queen is worried about the safety of the Grand Prince Munseong.

622
00:50:41,985 --> 00:50:43,404
So, I gave him a suggestion.

623
00:50:43,487 --> 00:50:46,407
Do you know what you've done?

624
00:50:46,490 --> 00:50:48,534
If the other councilors strongly refuse,

625
00:50:48,617 --> 00:50:50,577
The Queen's father and the Grand Prince

626
00:50:51,078 --> 00:50:53,831
could be accused of treason and killed.

627
00:50:54,873 --> 00:50:56,709
Your wishes are the most important.

628
00:50:57,459 --> 00:50:59,461
Didn't Your Majesty say peach tree?

629
00:50:59,545 --> 00:51:02,756
what has become ashes can be the best fertilizer for new trees?

630
00:51:04,633 --> 00:51:07,261
Now, you are starting to be presumptuous in finding out about my feelings.

631
00:51:09,221 --> 00:51:11,557
Your Majesty's feelings are clearly visible in my eyes.

632
00:51:13,517 --> 00:51:15,352
No need to lie to me.

633
00:51:24,486 --> 00:51:26,947
Please don't make me shake.

634
00:51:31,827 --> 00:51:33,203
You could be in danger.

635
00:51:38,208 --> 00:51:39,835
Your Majesty, I am Sang-hwa.

636
00:51:45,382 --> 00:51:48,051
Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen Mother called.

637
00:51:51,430 --> 00:51:52,514
Good.

638
00:52:19,208 --> 00:52:20,959
Immediately fire and punish

639
00:52:21,043 --> 00:52:23,123
Queen's father Oh Wook-hwan and Minister of War Min Ji-hwan

640
00:52:23,170 --> 00:52:25,964
who created the petition, as well as Inspector General Kim Je-nam

641
00:52:26,048 --> 00:52:27,424
who also conspired.

642
00:52:27,508 --> 00:52:30,761
Her Majesty should also dethrone the Queen and banish her!

643
00:52:38,352 --> 00:52:39,520
Raja.

644
00:52:39,603 --> 00:52:43,106
You're not thinking about making the Great Prince the King's son, are you?

645
00:52:43,190 --> 00:52:44,399
Like I said,

646
00:52:45,442 --> 00:52:47,903
I can't give birth to a successor to my throne,

647
00:52:47,986 --> 00:52:50,197
and the closest bloodline to me

648
00:52:50,948 --> 00:52:52,491
is the Great Prince.

649
00:52:52,574 --> 00:52:53,867
Can't!

650
00:52:54,535 --> 00:52:56,328
If you want to change your mind,

651
00:52:56,411 --> 00:52:58,747
His Majesty can give birth to successors easily.

652
00:53:01,542 --> 00:53:02,626
Forgive me.

653
00:53:04,711 --> 00:53:07,130
My decision is final.

654
00:53:10,384 --> 00:53:11,468
The Great Prince

655
00:53:12,427 --> 00:53:14,680
will be appointed Crown Prince.

656
00:53:15,472 --> 00:53:17,599
Step on my dead body first

657
00:53:19,434 --> 00:53:21,103
before doing that!

658
00:53:55,804 --> 00:54:00,392
It seems that His Majesty the King will grant the Queen's Father's request.

659
00:54:01,810 --> 00:54:02,686
Correct.

660
00:54:02,769 --> 00:54:06,732
Inspector General Kim Je-nam's words had a big impact.

661
00:54:06,815 --> 00:54:09,026
Isn't that the best solution?

662
00:54:09,109 --> 00:54:11,403
to appease the people?

663
00:54:12,029 --> 00:54:14,489
You're talking nonsense.

664
00:54:15,407 --> 00:54:18,535
You have to prohibit things that you shouldn't.

665
00:54:18,619 --> 00:54:20,913
Take care of your words and attitude!

666
00:54:25,375 --> 00:54:26,919
I'm just frustrated hearing that.

667
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,129
Forgive me.

668
00:54:30,130 --> 00:54:33,342
What is clear, we will agree with it

669
00:54:34,009 --> 00:54:35,636
if you agree to that.

670
00:54:51,026 --> 00:54:51,860
sir

671
00:54:51,944 --> 00:54:53,612
Will you just keep quiet?

672
00:55:10,212 --> 00:55:11,212
sir

673
00:55:32,901 --> 00:55:34,361
Please save that first.

674
00:55:34,903 --> 00:55:36,697
When the drizzling rain falls,

675
00:55:37,364 --> 00:55:39,241
I promise I'll take it.

676
00:55:40,534 --> 00:55:41,534
Okay.

677
00:55:43,495 --> 00:55:45,622
I will keep it well until that day.

678
00:56:48,643 --> 00:56:51,188
Hey. What insolence is this?

679
00:56:52,064 --> 00:56:53,648
Put away your sword!

680
00:56:54,149 --> 00:56:55,149
Your Majesty.

681
00:56:55,609 --> 00:56:56,735
What should I do with him?

682
00:57:00,489 --> 00:57:01,490
Head of Directorate.

683
00:57:03,158 --> 00:57:07,704
Did you forget that no one can enter this place without my permission?

684
00:57:09,498 --> 00:57:10,791
I'm coming

685
00:57:11,416 --> 00:57:13,543
to meet personally with Your Majesty.

686
00:57:17,047 --> 00:57:18,047
You can go.

687
00:57:28,058 --> 00:57:29,059
Your Majesty.

688
00:57:29,559 --> 00:57:32,938
Do you intend to agree to the request of the Queen's father?

689
00:57:33,021 --> 00:57:34,272
Correct.

690
00:57:35,065 --> 00:57:36,566
The Inspector General has a point

691
00:57:36,650 --> 00:57:38,485
when he said the rumors would die down

692
00:57:38,568 --> 00:57:40,862
if my successor is clear.

693
00:57:40,946 --> 00:57:42,989
That's stupid thinking.

694
00:57:44,074 --> 00:57:47,661
I am the one who tried hard to protect Your Majesty's rule all this time.

695
00:57:48,245 --> 00:57:50,789
Do you know what the man from the inland village does?

696
00:57:50,872 --> 00:57:52,999
Your Majesty cannot be influenced by him.

697
00:57:53,083 --> 00:57:54,793
I can't accept that.

698
00:57:54,876 --> 00:57:57,921
Be aware, Your Majesty!

699
00:58:09,850 --> 00:58:12,185
Are you the king of this nation?

700
00:58:16,690 --> 00:58:18,942
How impudent of you to shout forbidding me,

701
00:58:19,025 --> 00:58:20,986
the king of this nation.

702
00:58:25,490 --> 00:58:26,700
Sorry, Your Majesty.

703
00:58:27,492 --> 00:58:29,536
- I just… - It seems in your eyes…

704
00:58:30,912 --> 00:58:35,375
I was still a little boy holding the hem of my mother's skirt.

705
00:58:36,460 --> 00:58:38,003
Absolutely not, Your Majesty.

706
00:58:38,086 --> 00:58:39,463
I just feel Your Majesty

707
00:58:39,546 --> 00:58:42,007
I'm starting to be influenced by words

708
00:58:42,090 --> 00:58:44,092
traitors, so…

709
00:58:44,176 --> 00:58:45,218
Shut up!

710
00:58:50,724 --> 00:58:52,976
What have you actually done for me?

711
00:58:53,059 --> 00:58:55,604
Say it loud, don't just talk too much.

712
00:59:00,942 --> 00:59:02,694
The inauguration of Prince Agung as Crown Prince

713
00:59:02,777 --> 00:59:07,282
just a plan to overcome the chaos in the political world due to this strange incident.

714
00:59:09,659 --> 00:59:13,413
If the people calm down, we can expel him

715
00:59:13,497 --> 00:59:15,183
and dethroned him as Crown Prince.

716
00:59:15,207 --> 00:59:18,919
You're the one who shouldn't be thinking stupidly like now.

717
00:59:20,128 --> 00:59:22,714
If you underestimate me again

718
00:59:23,381 --> 00:59:24,883
and be rude,

719
00:59:26,301 --> 00:59:30,138
I will not remain silent even if my mother protects you.

720
00:59:31,223 --> 00:59:33,266
What if the council refuses?

721
00:59:34,059 --> 00:59:35,727
to dethrone him

722
00:59:37,187 --> 00:59:38,897
as crown prince?

723
00:59:46,738 --> 00:59:48,365
I am the king of this nation.

724
00:59:50,784 --> 00:59:52,744
No one can oppose me.

725
00:59:53,745 --> 00:59:57,290
I will kill anyone who opposes me,

726
00:59:57,374 --> 00:59:58,374
including

727
00:59:58,833 --> 01:00:02,087
people who are of the same blood as me.

728
01:00:13,848 --> 01:00:15,684
Now I understand

729
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:21,606
why my late brother hated me so much and wanted to kill me.

730
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:24,901
Apparently the power of a king

731
01:00:26,236 --> 01:00:28,613
cannot be shared with anyone.

732
01:01:48,485 --> 01:01:50,737
Your Majesty, Prince Agung Munseong has arrived.

733
01:01:51,488 --> 01:01:52,572
Tell him to come in.

734
01:02:08,213 --> 01:02:09,255
Take this.

735
01:02:10,590 --> 01:02:12,926
This is a symbol that indicates

736
01:02:14,219 --> 01:02:17,472
I made you my son and Crown Prince.

737
01:02:26,231 --> 01:02:30,151
I will serve my father wholeheartedly

738
01:02:30,235 --> 01:02:33,863
and promise to carry out my role as Crown Prince well.

739
01:02:55,844 --> 01:02:59,097
From now on, I will call Your Majesty "Mother".

740
01:03:03,351 --> 01:03:06,521
Congratulations, Your Majesty.

741
01:03:10,233 --> 01:03:11,276
All of these…

742
01:03:12,318 --> 01:03:14,279
thanks to Dad.

743
01:03:17,657 --> 01:03:18,658
Now,

744
01:03:19,617 --> 01:03:21,578
I can close my eyes in peace.

745
01:03:44,350 --> 01:03:45,393
Your Majesty.

746
01:03:47,270 --> 01:03:48,605
Mother

747
01:03:49,314 --> 01:03:52,275
Your Majesty.

748
01:03:52,776 --> 01:03:53,902
Mother

749
01:03:54,778 --> 01:03:56,529
Mother

750
01:03:57,489 --> 01:03:59,032
Mother

751
01:04:17,842 --> 01:04:19,928
Your Highness…

752
01:04:26,059 --> 01:04:27,060
Your Highness…

753
01:04:45,620 --> 01:04:47,705
Her Majesty has passed away.

754
01:04:51,835 --> 01:04:54,879
His Majesty the King told you not to go to the palace

755
01:04:54,963 --> 01:04:56,422
during the funeral ceremony.

756
01:04:58,883 --> 01:04:59,884
Good.

757
01:05:39,465 --> 01:05:40,633
The time has come.

758
01:05:42,468 --> 01:05:45,889
The Grand Prince's life was in danger if the King was still alive.

759
01:05:47,432 --> 01:05:49,058
Now, make a decision.

760
01:05:52,437 --> 01:05:54,123
The inauguration of Prince Agung as Crown Prince

761
01:05:54,147 --> 01:05:58,526
just a plan to overcome the chaos in the political world due to this strange incident.

762
01:06:00,987 --> 01:06:04,574
If the people calm down, we can expel him

763
01:06:04,657 --> 01:06:06,377
and dethroned him as Crown Prince.

764
01:06:06,451 --> 01:06:10,163
You're the one who shouldn't be thinking stupidly like now.

765
01:06:14,584 --> 01:06:15,627
It's his.

766
01:06:22,008 --> 01:06:23,134
Let me.

767
01:06:25,219 --> 01:06:26,596
I'm the one who started this all.

768
01:06:28,306 --> 01:06:29,849
Let me end it.

769
01:06:30,683 --> 01:06:31,851
I can't let it go.

770
01:06:32,852 --> 01:06:34,979
I must kill the King with my own hands

771
01:06:35,063 --> 01:06:36,272
so that I...

772
01:06:38,358 --> 01:06:40,652
can avenge Hongjang.

773
01:06:54,415 --> 01:06:55,415
Good.

774
01:06:57,752 --> 01:06:58,753
Do whatever you want.

775
01:07:43,715 --> 01:07:44,757
It's his.

776
01:07:49,053 --> 01:07:50,221
It's his.

777
01:08:00,940 --> 01:08:02,358
I'm too arrogant.

778
01:08:05,987 --> 01:08:08,239
I thought I died three years ago

779
01:08:10,700 --> 01:08:14,078
and have nothing of value or anything to fear anymore.

780
01:08:18,499 --> 01:08:20,293
However, it turns out it's still there.

781
01:08:23,546 --> 01:08:25,423
I still want to live as Kang Hee-soo...

782
01:08:30,511 --> 01:08:32,263
and still wanted to trust the King.

783
01:08:40,813 --> 01:08:42,732
I don't know…

784
01:08:45,443 --> 01:08:47,123
what should I feel now.

785
01:08:52,450 --> 01:08:55,953
Poor you, Miss.

786
01:09:24,816 --> 01:09:26,943
I was the one who performed the Queen's funeral,

787
01:09:27,026 --> 01:09:29,654
but you look really sad, Mong-woo.

788
01:09:31,948 --> 01:09:34,033
I have sinned against the Queen.

789
01:09:35,201 --> 01:09:36,410
I feel very sad.

790
01:09:37,954 --> 01:09:40,206
The queen depends a lot on you.

791
01:09:42,291 --> 01:09:44,836
He must be reluctant to see you continue to be sad.

792
01:09:49,715 --> 01:09:50,925
You said…

793
01:09:53,427 --> 01:09:55,471
will come to me if I call, right?

794
01:09:58,266 --> 01:09:59,433
Tonight…

795
01:10:01,936 --> 01:10:03,396
I want to meet Your Majesty.

796
01:10:05,857 --> 01:10:07,567
I also want to meet you.

797
01:10:14,157 --> 01:10:15,157
In that case,

798
01:10:16,325 --> 01:10:17,952
I will wait at that place.

799
01:10:34,510 --> 01:10:36,345
Let your Majesty enter first,

800
01:10:37,096 --> 01:10:38,723
you just come in afterwards.

801
01:10:41,350 --> 01:10:42,351
Today…

802
01:10:43,060 --> 01:10:46,898
I will be an unknown person who sneaks up to attack the King.

803
01:10:48,649 --> 01:10:50,860
You don't know anything about this.

804
01:10:51,861 --> 01:10:52,945
Understand?

805
01:10:57,074 --> 01:10:58,576
If you meet Hongjang...

806
01:11:01,579 --> 01:11:03,039
send my greetings.

807
01:11:10,630 --> 01:11:11,631
Good.

808
01:12:27,999 --> 01:12:29,542
Wait outside.

809
01:12:29,625 --> 01:12:30,626
Good, Your Majesty.

810
01:13:02,742 --> 01:13:03,743
Apparently…

811
01:13:08,122 --> 01:13:10,333
I've made you suffer a lot.

812
01:13:19,091 --> 01:13:22,553
What should I do to make you stop crying?

813
01:14:05,137 --> 01:14:06,389
What's wrong with you?

814
01:14:17,316 --> 01:14:19,151
Your body is shaking. What is it?

815
01:14:25,533 --> 01:14:26,617
Don't…

816
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:32,206
step into.

817
01:14:40,464 --> 01:14:43,300
Is your lover in there?

818
01:14:49,974 --> 01:14:50,975
Or…

819
01:14:56,147 --> 01:14:58,649
Is there a killer hiding to kill me?

820
01:15:45,821 --> 01:15:48,657
CAPTIVATING THE KING

821
01:15:49,158 --> 01:15:51,869
Has something happened to you?

822
01:15:51,952 --> 01:15:55,456
Is the unconscious person there His Majesty the King?

823
01:15:55,539 --> 01:15:57,666
If it was for Grand Prince Jinhan's sake,

824
01:15:57,750 --> 01:15:59,376
be a woman for the King.

825
01:15:59,460 --> 01:16:03,380
You know who poisoned the late King, right?

826
01:16:03,464 --> 01:16:06,217
He must have given everything to get here.

827
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:08,302
Where is Your Majesty now?

828
01:16:08,802 --> 01:16:11,639
Apparently you are determined to kill me

829
01:16:11,722 --> 01:16:14,141
because of fear and hatred of me.

830
01:16:14,850 --> 01:16:17,728
Kang Mong-woo and Kim Myung-ha who hold a grudge against Your Majesty

831
01:16:17,811 --> 01:16:19,939
must have told that person to kill you.

832
01:16:20,022 --> 01:16:22,149
Call the members of the Border Defense Council.

833
01:16:22,233 --> 01:16:24,860
I will interrogate the traitor myself.

834
01:16:24,944 --> 01:16:29,949
