Episode 15

Move, Kim Sung Yeol.

If you do that, I'll spare your life.

You can just kill me! If you don't,

you will regret this for the rest of your life!

NO!!

Get out of here.

Let's go.

No, not My Lord!

They can`t have gotten far. Find them!

Okay.

Scholar.

Scholar.

Scholar!

My Lord!

I don't know what to do.

When the night comes, don't ever let him go outside.

How much do you know?

The memories from when I was young returned.

Run relentlessly into the direction of where the sun sets.

If you walk around the foot of Gobong mountain, you will find a small village.

There should be an old empty house in the middle of the mountain so stay there.

There... -We have a relation with that place.

Since I have something I need to do,

go first and watch over the Lord.

I believe they have disappeared.

Keep your mouth shut

about what you all saw today.

My Lord.

Oh, ah...Soo Hyang...

Soo Hyang! You were safe?

Do you know how worried I was about you and His Lordship?

But what should we do about our Lord?

Without telling me where he went, he just disappeared.

He doesn't seem to be in the forest.

He has escaped so don't worry too much.

How hard it must be...

Exactly who can it be?!

The thief who stole our Lord's cloak.

I have an assumption on who took it.

W-Who?

Since there was a full moon yesterday, His Lordship wasn't able to control his hunger

and ran out.

How did you know?

Aigoo. Soo Hyang, without you,

Our Lord hasn't even gotten to drink blood even once.

But really, who do you think took it?

Steal this black cloak from him.

This queen of this country.

Eh, what? T-The queen?

The queen is Gwi's slave.

The King is entering.

It was just as you said.

But he wasn't afraid of death

and took Seo Jin with him.

Now I will ask.

How did you know about Kim Sung Yeol?

The situation how you got the black robe,

what happened?

I understand your words.

Before I became the Crown Princess, I

had a strong fate with Kim Sung Yeol.

He mistook me for his past lover who died long ago

and committed a rude action towards me.

My father who found out about this truth

dragged me into the underground palace a few days ago.

You went to the underground palace?

The Gwi that my father serves,

he ordered me to steal Kim Sung Yeols cloak.

If I didn't do that,

he would turn me into a vampire,

he threatened me.

Is that true?

So,

I had no choice but to find Kim Sung Yeol.

What were you planning to do?

When I went out to find him, he was in a very weak state,

and because I resembled his past lover,

I was able to take his cloak.

But why did you give it to me?

Because I am afraid of Gwi,

of what he will be able to do with the cloak in his hands.

Although I know that you wish to help me,

Gwi won't stand still.

I told Gwi that I wasn't able to take the cloak,

and that Kim Sung Yeol left with his cloak.

If so, you are in real danger.

If the day comes when the cloak is not in our hands, but on Gwi,

Your Majesty...

no, this country will be in danger.

Instead, I will just go to the underground palace and die.

No. Please don`t go.

But Gwi-

This...

is an order.

The King has returned.

I don't even have to look to see that he is empty-handed.

It seems so.

Where is the Queen and what is she doing?

That...

Since she became Queen, she isn't even associating herself with her father.

Both of them aren't appearing in front of me.

Father.

Father, please let's leave.

It's alright.

Father.

Father.

No, don't go.

But Gwi...

This is an order.

Is it the candlelight that's wavering, or is it your heart?

Are you allowed to come out all the way here?

Since the object that was supposed to come didn't come, I had no choice but to personally come by.

Do you have Kim Sung Yeol's cloak?

I did meet Kim Sung Yeol, however, I could not deceive him.

That person believes that I am not Myung Hee.

You failed? Did you expect that if you told me that, I would believe you?

He has now forgotten his past lover and has the Lustful Student's daughter in his heart.

I can't move Kim Sung Yeol's heart anymore.

You, too, whether it is his or any others,

how about letting go of our past relationship?

So you are saying that you can't keep the position of the Queen?

Do you not know that I can remove you from that seat whenever I want to?

What are you doing?

What are we doing, Your Majesty?

Please let her go.

What if I don't let her go?

Didn't I say I would follow your wishes?

But why are you entering the Queen's chambers and trying to do something profane?

Seeing that you are talking back to me,

have you caught Kim Sung Yeol?

Although we attacked as soon as we found his location, he defeated the soldiers and ran way even in broad daylight.

Okay.

When they come back as vampires, then what should we do?

You said nothing about that.

I will put up "Wanted" posters all over the country

and release the soldiers and definitely find Kim Sung Yeol's location, so the Queen...

Your Majesty!

Subtitles brought to you by The Hot Bloodsuckers Team @Viki

Are you shocked?

Hak Yeong!

Not any closer.

Although I am training him, I don't know what will happen if you come any closer.

This...

Do you see?

If you disobey me, I won't just kill you so easily.

So, behave well...King.

That is if you don't want the Queen to end up like this.

Let's go.

Hak Yeong...

Are you okay, Your Majesty?

I won't just kill him.

One day, this same pain...

Why is it like this? Let's go!

Who is that over there?

Oh, this is...

Thank you. Really, thank you.

You don't need to thank me.

I'm someone who owes this Scholar greatly from long ago.

If you need anything more, just tell me, okay?

Are you getting yourself together?

Don`t do it.

I am okay, just accept the blood.

If I have more of your blood, I won't be able to resist it,

and I don't know what I might do to you.

This won't do. I'll go out and find blood somewhere.

What are you doing?

Ah, just the chicken...

Aigoo, really. Why didn't you just say you had not eaten?

Look, look. Here you have the chicken meat.

What I need is not the meat...

This is for The Scholar. Blood we gathered up.

How did you...?

Didn't I say I received help in the past before?

When my daughter almost got sold to a bunch of thugs,

that person helped us.

We call him the "Night Scholar".

If he needs more blood, just come to us whenever.

But...has The Night Scholar woken up?

Oraebeoni...

Myeong Hee!

The black cloak cannot get into Gwi's hands.

Come in.

How did you know about this place and come?

Have you seen Soo Hyang?

She said she will be here as soon as she finished her outside business.

It is a relief that she is safe.

If you need more blood, please tell me.

Fortunately the woman Scholar-- This...

is a place where even the soldiers won't come,

so hide yourself here for the time being.

I will survey the situation and come back to take you.

Who are you, who can't even move properly, worrying about now?

When you are all healed, do what you want to.

But until then, you can't even take one step outside of here.

How could I regain my consciousness with just a few drops of her blood?

Does this have something to do with your mother's relation?

Please consider this. And from now on,

the morning meeting with the King will always

be held after 11pm at night as he ordered.

This...who wrote it?

By The Elder's command, I wrote it.

You do know what Jeuk-wii-kyo-seo is very well, don't you? [The document written is a King's order or proclamation]

It seems you have a lot of complaints.

Then seek up the Elder and find out for yourself.

Chief Minister! -I understand.

I will issue it as is.

How could he ask you to slander the prior King and proclaim that you will reign over the people?

The deceased previous king

would turn over in his grave.

And my Hak Young also--

I am aware of that.

Those watching us from the heavens, as well,

won't be there in vain.

And if the need arises for you to go to the underground palace,

I will take care of it alone.

So don't even go near that place, Chief Left.

It doesn't even burn in fire.

I relayed your message as you've instructed.

The days are getting more boring as the time passes.

In the future, I will inside the palace...no,

everything in this whole nation, drive it into the dark night.

What is Soo Hyang, that child doing?

I will look into it.

So,

the Elder gave a large sum of money to you. Now you can

go anywhere you want and live lavishly. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Instead of that, since we don't know if the Elder will seek me again,

I'm thinking of reopening the Hwayang-Gak.

What?

Because the elder spared your life, do you think he is an easy person?

If not, do you have any other thoughts?

Isn't it only natural to be drawn to a strong person?

Then why did you, Prime Minister,

sacrifice your precious daughter to Gwi?

Over your daughter that you talk about, I will

be more manageable.

Please Prime Minister use me as a tool well to serve the Elder.

Over there.

My Lord.

How can we have meetings late at night? What is happening?

A royal command over the royal command.

That's all you have to know. -The King speaks.

Reflecting respectively, because the previous king lacked in generosity and following the natural law,

the heaven punished him and order is passed down to me anew.

As soon as I sit on the throne, tighten discipline on the nation.

Rule the ignorant people with the law.

And never again,

so people like the Lustful Student can't be active...

anyone who is violating the national law will be punished severely.

Moreover...

Subtitles brought to you by The Hot Bloodsuckers Team @Viki

That person...at the banquet...-He'll hear you.

Continue.

Moreover,

I am sorry but if you make the proclamation like that,

starting with the students from various places,

the people all over the nation will adamantly oppose.

Then can't you just catch all of them?

No. Let's just declare martial law.

Make sure there won't be any assembly of more than ten people during the day without permission. And...

examine people's clothes and if anyone wears a black robe,

arrest him regardless. Tell them that.

Take care.-Yes, please walk safely.

Unnie!

I received blood just a while ago.

This is for you.

I will eat it well.- But...

when will I be able to see the Scholar?- Hm?

Ah, no. Never mind.

Seeing how cute that child is,

it makes me think about my little sister.

Dreaming about how much of a beauty the Scholar must be...

I told her not to even think about it.

However, Scholar...

may I ask you something?

I'm talking about how the King said I was the secret plan to get rid of Gwi.

Is it true?

The role of the mother's relation that you are looking for-

No.

He definitely said that.

That I have to be handed over to Gwi.

Didn't I say no?

That...

is something the King is misunderstanding. Don't let it bother you.

Scholar... are you going to keep fighting Gwi?

It's not enough that you have already spent so long having a hard time fighting him,

but from now on, how much longer do you have to do that?

Just...

can't you just stay with me for a while like this?

If you said a while, how much do you mean?

Ten years? Twenty years?

Ah, no.

Just fifty years.

Isn't that much just a while for you, Scholar?

My body is feeling heavy and is having a hard time, but for a while, my heart

has felt lighter after a long time.

♬ My heart is speaking ♬

♬ My two eyes are speaking ♬

♬ I am lying again ♬

♬ thinking I’d be left with my tears only ♬

♬ Thinking that you might hurt more ♬

If I embrace you right now, I may hurt you.

♬ I want to be this rain and fall next to you ♬

♬ as much as my unstopping heart ♬

♬ I’d be crumbling as much as I fill in with you ♬

♬ but I love you again regardless ♬

♬ You, my eyes well up just looking at you ♬

♬ You, my heart aching for you ♬

I can't believe he just read it as it was given to him.

They must have found out that you are scary.

I heard the students at Sungkyunkwan are complaining, is it true?

Even so, there is an order against assembly.

What can they do?

At this rate the whole nation will be after the King to take him down.

Don't you think so?

It will happen the way you hope.

What do I hope for?

I am saying, the King who doesn't have people's support and being a puppet king.

Oh, now...

What do you know?

No.

What this child said is right.

I can take care of the King making it happen that way.

One thing isn't being resolved.

Is there something that you can't do?

I'm talking about catching Kim Sung Yeol.

After what happened the other day, he will not come looking for this place again.

That's why.

I found a way to call him out.

The people are already living so pitifully because of the incapable King.

If they receive more pain from me,

Kim Sung Yeol won't just watch.

Catch Kim Sung Yeol and flip the citizen's hearts.

It's catching two birds with one stone.

Sending virgins one by one to the palace? This is the end of the world.

How did the country get to this state?

Does this make sense?

You there, look here.

What?- What did you just say?

Come over here. Quickly.

What are you doing!

There's a command to stop wearing black robes,

so I'm just inspecting your attire.

Whether I wear a dark robe or not, what does that have to do with the law for you to be doing this?

This won't do.

You'll have to come with us.

Let go!

I'm telling you to let go!

Those rotten things.

Why don't they just make an announcement that Gwi is ruling this nation?

Hyung, be quiet a bit.

Let's go.

Someone has come to see you.

Your Majesty.

How could you-

I am sorry but I have business to attend with you.

I understand.

Keep watch outside.

My Lord's dark robe is in your hands, isn't it?

Did you come all the way here just to say that?

I don't know about it.

It's been quite a long while since you visited the underground palace.

The King also knows.

I can't understand it with my lowly brain.

Are you threatening me?

Return the robe.

If you don't-

Try doing whatever you want.

If you come between my relationship with the King,

I will hand over the robe to Gwi.

What is your intent for going this far?

What is your intent for wanting to be in Gwi's eyes?

Are you not even afraid?

I've served Lord Kim Sung Yeol for a long time.

If it's for My Lord, I can do even more.

I am the Queen of this country.

I will do anything if His Majesty can become a proper King.

Then won't you have to make Gwi step down?

How come you aren't using your power, but taking away power from My Lord instead?

If Kim Sung Yeol did not go against the King and hide Yang Sun,

then Gwi would have already died.

What on earth is Yang Sun for you to be like this?

Gwi's descendant, who can kill him.

I heard this directly from Gwi, so I know.

Jo Yang Sun is Gwi's descendant.

She is the secret plan that will kill Gwi.

Do you know where Jo Yang Sun is?

I don't know.

If you really want the best for Kim Sung Yeol, think carefully about

what would be the right choice.

Egye...

You're only giving me this much?

I gave you more because of that pretty woman.

Aigoo.

Ah, right. Did you hear the news?

I heard the King ordered to send virgins to the palace.

What?

Those are only stupid rumors.

Eh hey...The posters are on the walls.

If each village doesn't send a virgin before the full moon each month,

then they will double the taxes.

Living right now is hard enough.

But isn't going into the palace a good thing?

No, nonsense. The thing that lives in the palace, the...

That you know, oh, the vampire! They will hand you over to the vampire.

Vampire?

Bom is the only girl in our village who is not married.

Unni!

You live here!

You have a daughter who turns 16 this year.

No, I didn't even get married.

Look here. If your family registry is fraudulent, then the punishment will be greater.

You've mistaken me for someone else.

In this wide neighbourhood, the only young girl is her. Who are you trying to fool?

Just know that there will be a message in a few days time.

Let's go.

Father! Are you okay?

Are you feeling better?

How could you not know how precious your life is and show up at the palace?

Does that mean you were worried about me?

However, this isn't the time to be worried about me.

Gwi doing this...

It's a plan to call you out.

You cannot appear.

Let Yang Sun appear in front of Gwi.

I heard she is the secret plan to get rid of Gwi.

That cannot happen.

I'm also a secret plan, so I will go out.

Even with your body like this,

are you saying you're going to risk your life again?

Long ago, I gave up my lover's life and I lived.

When I think of my dead lover's face,

dreaming of the revenge each and everyday was hell to me.

However, for that revenge, if I have to sacrifice my lover's life again...

To kill Gwi, if I have to become a beast just like Gwi,

until the end, I will fight him and die.

Since you heard, you should know, too.

Is it true that I'm the secret plan?

If not, why would the King and the Lord be arguing over you?

Gwi...

Because of him, I lost my father twice.

I almost lost the Scholar as well.

What more do I have to lose?

Just like now...

Can't I serve the Scholar and live quietly like this?

For that, do you know what will happen?

If you bear a child, that child... and that child's child...

In some period, one of them with your mother's relation will have to be sacrificed to Gwi.

Mother's relation?

Isn't this a character's relation chart?

What did you just say?

Family tree.

This person and this person are married and this is their child.

That's right. Mother's relation. That is it.

If you don't, the people will receive pain from Gwi forever.

And they will target your descendants to escape from that pain.

Why on earth...

Why?

That's right. All of this is because you are...

Gwi's descendant.

I also want to wear pretty dresses and ornaments, Father.

Jin, you must never let anyone know that you are a girl.

Why?

Because someday, people will try to hurt you.

These clothes are uncomfortable.

But they are wrong.

The Crown Prince will definitely find another way.

How come you're this late?

Scholar.

Did something happen?

No.

I was about to go for a walk. Will you come with me?

Yes.

Ah!

This...

Sit down.

This is what you've been working every night for?

So, did you find out what you want to do?

I can't be a bookseller anymore.

I want to write stories, but I don't seem to have talent for that.

I just want to forget everything

and live here for a long time together.

Huh-huh, it is disappointing.

What?

Am I really the only one who is waiting for the next "Night Scholar"?

The Night Scholar I imagined was only mysterious, just

excited girls hearts. I guess it wasn't earnest.

The more I get to know you, I can't imagine the burden you have to carry.

I feel like the novel I wrote was shabby, and I feel embarrassed.

After living a while, my imagination is different from reality.

And it also doesn't seem like I can change my reality.

But the reality you can't imagine...

is probably cold and dark.

Even though you can't change your imagination into reality, you can change a person.

And that person, will change the world.

Sometime, when the world is at peace,

at that time, the person they need won't be the Night Scholar.

To the people, they will need someone who will make them dream of a world they'd want to live in...

someone like you.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're pretty.

What?

Those words you said to me...

your heart.

Get on.

No. You aren't even fully healed yet.

I just want to confirm whether or not my health has improved, so don't refuse.

Here.

Scholar, aren't I heavy?

Seeing as work has lightened up, it seems your heart has also lightened up.

How did you know?

♬ I will always be at that place ♬

♬ Please don’t forget me ♬

♬ By the time longing has grown ♬

♬ It will pain me to death ♬

♬ Since you gave me memories, my love, don't cry ♬

♬ The miraculous days ♬

♬ I am waiting for ♬

♬ I believe ♬

♬ it's not a wasted wish ♬

♬ When the season takes a long way ♬

♬ Even when the flowers blossom and wilt ♬

My Lord had investigated this place numerous times after the incident, but the evidence...

Did Jo, no...

Did Seo Jin's real father know about her role as the mother's relation?

That's probably why he hid her.

If only I had arrived just a bit earlier.

Then Seo Jin's real father must have passed away at that time too.

That's right.

Aigoo.

Aigoo.

Oh! What? What?

How did I miss that?

Aigoo. What are you talking about?

I have to let the King know immediately.

Hey. Hey!

What did she do wrong?

Look here!

You are too much!

Do you people not have children?

Are you all just going to sit back and watch?

It's a command! Capture all those who get in the way!

Stop this!

I know how you feel,

but stepping out rashly will cause you great trouble.

Hyungnim!

H-Hyungnim.

You can't!

But still, does it make sense to send Unnie?

I couldn't help it. You're my bloodline, and she is somebody else's.

You can't!

What are you talking about?

Where is Yang Sun?

I deserve to die.

I asked you where she is.

I've committed a sin deserving of death.

Where is she!

Truthfully, the palace's soldiers came...

She went in place of my daughter.

I deserve to die, My Lord!

It is not your fault.

You may all leave.

This robe must never go into Gwi's hands.

Where are you, Kim Sung Yeol?

Since I opened a parade, the guests should come quickly.

You can't, Yang Sun. You can't!

My Lord...

Ho Jin!- Oh? My Lord!

My Lord! My Lord!

My Lord. You... you... Is your health better?

Soo Hyang said you'd be hiding for the time being.

Yang Sun was dragged to the palace.

She was taken to the palace?

She did it herself, knowing that she is the secret plan.

Aiyoo, My Lord. About that... that isn't it!

What are you talking about?

Teacher Baek said her real mother was bitten by Gwi and died, too.

Then even if Gwi drinks the blood of the mother's relation...

He will still be alive.

Just as I thought.

I have to stop Yang Sun.

This way.

Gwi fell in love with a human woman and bore a child.

Of all people, that descendant is...

Your fate is tough luck as well.

But what can you do?

That's the bloodline you were born with.

Being born like that wasn't my decision.

Subtitles brought to you by The Hot Bloodsuckers Team @Viki

But dying like this...

is something I have chosen.

Scholar...

Please stay strong.

Scholar Who Walks the Night

My life you saved, I will use it to repay your generosity.

He suddenly appears in the east then west and scolds the military guards.

I heard he saves the girls being dragged to the palace.

It is a righteous thief who wears a black robe.

If he is wearing a black robe and appears here and there, then is it Kim Sung Yeol?

Capture him immediately. I will put down my command.

It seems we will meet soon.

Scholar, I love you.

I will take all of these feelings, so please don't remember me.
