Original subtitles

But...

who might you be?

Your Majesty.

You are joking, right?

You do not know who I am?

No.

Truly?

Do you know this?

What?

When I see you smile,

I cannot breathe.

Do you not feel well?

Your sweet smile takes my breath away.

Thank you.

But truly,

who are you?

Well...

I descended from up above.

I am a fairy.

What?

Just joking.

The truth is, I swam from all the way over there.

I am the only daughter of the Dragon King of the sea.

But the waves are so rough now.

That is enough.

I have so much to tell you.

Go ahead and tell me.

Well...

Let us go to the shade.

Master Yang told me...

that you came here to recuperate.

My gosh.

I cannot believe he brought Your Majesty to a place like this.

Well...

Anyway, the antidote must have worked.

I was suspecting...

that Prince Ga Ron might have lied to me.

Right, what happened to Master Ak Hee?

Did he get the dagger removed?

Well, I am sure he did,

seeing how Your Majesty woke up.

Then will you and Master Ak Hee share it again?

I mean, your body.

My body?

I should wait and see Master Ak Hee too.

I am sorry, but who is Ak Hee?

My gosh.

That is enough.

If you keep joking around, it becomes boring.

Your Majesty!

Lady Yeon Wol?

- Lady Yeon Wol! - Eunuch Neung.

Eunuch Neung knows you?

Gosh, seriously.

Your Majesty.

What? Your Majesty.

Do you remember Lady Yeon Wol?

My gosh! Thank goodness.

Your memory is coming back!

I do not know who this lady is.

Pardon me?

But you are holding her hand so fondly.

Oh, she excitedly held my hand.

I assumed I had met her before,

so I thought she would be hurt if I pushed her hand away.

May I let your hand go now?

Your Majesty.

Do you truly not remember me?

I have asked you several times. Who are you?

Eunuch Neung.

I knew this would happen.

I apologize for not recognizing you.

I am not well, so my memory has deteriorated as well.

But I am doing my best to recover, so I will regain my memory soon.

Eunuch Neung, who is this lady?

Well, the thing is...

- Your Majesty, I am... - I have my queen,

so you cannot be my lover.

That was a joke.

How could I have a lover when I am married to my queen?

Your Majesty, the truth is...

There is something I have not had a chance to tell you.

The thing is...

I met you for the first time at the fabric store...

when I went there to buy new clothes.

I knew it.

Eunuch Neung, you were right.

You said I used to enjoy making clothes in the past.

Yes.

Anyway, why are you clad in such absurd-looking clothes?

Oh, this is...

I ran here in a hurry, so...

This is not acceptable. Come with me.

Eunuch Neung, what happened?

Well, the thing is...

Everything in here got completely wiped out.

You mean, he lost his memory?

Yes.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Anyway, come with us.

(Episode 13)

We are here.

It is shabby compared to the palace, is it not?

We did not have time to build a temporary palace here.

This is my bedchamber and my workspace.

What do you think?

It is nice.

Eunuch Neung said he made sure to bring it here...

for it was something precious to me.

He said someone gave it to me as a gift.

This is such a pretty colour.

Excuse me for a while, then.

I brought you here for this.

I cannot allow...

someone I know to be out...

in such strange clothes.

Now...

I must measure you around here.

Will you let me?

Yes.

Lift your arms.

Hands above your head.

Excuse me.

What is the matter?

You smell of the Lagerstroemia Indica flower.

Your Majesty. Do you really not...

Not what?

Will you not make me a beautiful outfit?

Since we knew each other.

A beautiful outfit...

You look like you cross...

fields and mountains freely.

Would you not prefer something practical to something beautiful?

Yes, I guess.

Are you displeased?

No.

A bit?

What is it?

I was told I came here...

to recuperate because I am ill of health.

But no one will tell me what exactly is wrong with me.

I think I know what is wrong now.

Do you not feel well? Where?

My heart is beating so fast.

Suddenly, for no reason.

Does it go...

bump, bump?

Thump, thump.

Bump, bump.

Would you please leave?

I am tired. I want to rest.

Excuse me.

Your Majesty. Snack on this.

I have something to tell you.

Yes.

I will leave. Please rest.

Wait.

Do you live in this village?

I am from another village far away.

I dropped by to see Eunuch Neung.

Is that so?

Then will you be here for a while?

Well, I do not mean anything else.

I will have to...

see you a few more times to fit the clothes.

I will have to cut the cloth to size,

and you will have to try it on before I sew it together and...

I was thinking of staying for a few days.

It would be too tiring to return right away.

Really?

Stay as long as you wish, then.

Eunuch Neung, is there a room where she can stay?

Yes, of course there is.

I will clean the room on the other side.

I will see you later.

Lady Yeon Wol.

Are you all right?

Eunuch Neung.

His Majesty took the antidote that day, right?

Well...

Lady Yeon Wol.

Please wake up, Lady Yeon Wol.

Eunuch Neung.

The Queen is here. You must flee.

Make sure His Majesty takes this.

What? Yes, I will.

Your Majesty. I will come back.

Please get better.

- Your Majesty. - You must get away now.

The very next day, he was sent here to convalesce.

Goodness.

The Queen and Prince Yoong,

the two of them made the decision.

- The Queen as well? - Yes.

Take a break, everyone.

Even on the way here,

His Majesty was always alert.

He worried about you,

and thought you would be watching from somewhere.

He had this forlorn look in his eyes.

I was only able...

to give him the antidote that evening.

The Queen would not leave his side...

until he left the palace.

He fell into a deep sleep after taking the antidote.

I was so concerned that it did not work.

Hey. You there.

Your Majesty?

Your Majesty!

Are you awake?

Your Majesty.

Can you move?

My gosh.

The antidote worked.

Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty?" - Yes, Your Majesty.

What?

I am the King?

- Yes. - Then...

who are you, mister?

What?

Your Majesty.

He lost his memory due to the side effects of the Suma dart.

Like I did before.

It would seem so.

He is able to move now,

so I guess that is fortunate.

He seemed to remember you being a eunuch.

Only because I sat with him since daybreak...

and all morning long, I talked to him nonstop.

That is why.

I am still dressed like this...

in case it helps jog his memory.

I see.

- Listen carefully and do as I say. - Okay.

Still, His Majesty is very clever...

and quick to catch on.

I told him that he was the King of Asatae,

but as he was ill,

he came down here to recuperate. I brought him up to speed.

I also went over the royal decorum he had to know.

I told him everything he had to know as the King.

I had to keep talking the whole day until my voice went hoarse.

Like clothes gradually getting wet...

by the sudden shower,

he absorbed and understood everything I told him.

So he was able to master the basic information in one day.

Gosh.

I am so proud of him.

Then...

did you tell him about Master Ak Hee and Prince Yoong?

Well...

Well, that...

Brew it with water, and drink it. It will be good for you.

Gosh. This is amazing.

Eunuch Neung. Where have you been?

Eunuch Neung. You have your hands full.

I do, Your Highness. Hello, Your Highness.

Eunuch Neung. My brother...

brought a lot of presents like wild ginseng and herbal tonics.

On top of that, my queen here...

brought beautiful fabrics and dyes.

She also brought a lot of tools I could use to make clothes.

I knew you liked them, so I made sure to bring all of them.

You must make a lot of clothes for me like before.

I see.

I made clothes for you?

Of course.

You were the one who made this outfit for me.

The two of you were quite the happy couple.

People said you put even lovebirds to shame.

Gosh, Prince Yoong. You are making me blush.

By the way,

I hope that you regain your memories soon.

As your illness worsened,

you must be slowly losing your memories.

Your Highness. You cannot cry again.

Please recover quickly, Your Majesty.

Thank you.

- The Queen and Prince Yoong... - I will try my best.

Somehow figured out that His Majesty had lost his memories.

They told him that...

they had been a good wife and a good brother to him.

They told him nothing but lies.

Of course. Our kind king believed everything they said.

His Majesty recovered from paralysis and lost his memories.

How come you did not report to us about his condition?

Well,

he recovered just last night all of a sudden.

I did not have time.

It must be because Gye Ra got him the antidote.

What? How...

That fool.

She probably did that to save His Majesty.

But it actually backfired.

Have you told him about Yeon Wol?

No. I did not.

Good.

You are never to tell him about Yeon Wol.

I will not.

You must tell him that the Queen and I were...

the only people he trusted and kept close. Understood?

Yes, Your Highness.

If you tell him any nonsense,

your sibling, your sibling's spouse, and their young children...

will face a cruel death.

No.

Please do not hurt them, Your Highness.

I will do what you say.

Right. As for your mother,

he is taking care of her, just so you know.

What?

Oh, no. Mother.

Oh, no. Mother!

Then they must have been watching when I arrived here.

Probably.

They told me to explain to His Majesty...

that you were a court maid...

if you were to show up here. That is all I can say to him.

But you were ready to tell him the truth about me.

When I saw you with His Majesty, it broke my heart.

I decided to tell the truth in that heat of the moment.

Do not tell him the truth.

You must think about your family outside the palace.

Was there a time Master Ak Hee took over the body?

That was quite odd.

That did not happen even once.

Where is Officer Ji?

Gosh.

They let me stay by His Majesty's side...

as I am easy to control.

But they locked up Ji Jeon in prison.

Everything has changed in a matter of a few days.

Lady Yeon Wol.

What do you think about secretly telling His Majesty the truth?

Could we not just get our stories straight with His Majesty?

Keep...

your promise.

I will...

if His Majesty wakes up.

I had to leave His Majesty, anyway.

It is better that he does not know who I am.

Do not worry about me.

No. It is dangerous. Do not tell him the truth.

When I see you smile,

I cannot breathe.

Your sweet smile takes my breath away.

This looks familiar.

I...

must have made these clothes.

(1 cheok, 3 chi)

Wait.

How come they have the same measurements?

There is no way...

this dress belongs to that unkempt lady.

Goodness.

I am married to my queen.

How...

You fool. Get a grip.

I did not even ask for her name.

Here is a talisman!

You scared me!

What is this? You are giving me Taffy?

You do not even have an ounce of loyalty.

What?

I was the one who told you that the dagger must be pulled out.

I thought...

that was very generous of me.

Sajo Hyun woke up.

But instead, he lost his memory.

It's not too big a price to pay.

Why is it that Master Ak Hee has not come out yet?

He has not?

Is he dead?

He could die even with the dagger removed.

Oh, no.

- Chung Ta. - No! Do not speak.

- But... - No, do not say a word.

Do not ask me to help Sajo Hyun regain his memory...

or to find out whether or not Master Ak Hee is dead.

Do not ask me for such favours anymore.

I cannot do it. It is beyond my ability to help you.

Please let Prince Yoong know...

that I will be leaving soon.

Tell him not to bother me for the next few days until I leave.

Where are you going?

You told me...

to find another man and be happy.

My gosh.

You are seeing someone new?

Oh, my. You have quite the skill.

You cannot even take a break from dating.

Anyway, please be sure to let Prince Yoong know.

Congratulations on being appointed as chief priest.

Hey!

She is a pro dater.

I am a fool when it comes to dating.

Your Majesty.

What are you doing?

You will use this blanket.

It is important to dry it in the sun like this.

This way, it will feel nice and soft.

Anyway, where have you been?

I went to the mountains to pick some herbs.

Your favourite herbs were everywhere.

It smells nice, does it not?

You know which herbs I like?

Did you work in the royal kitchen?

Do you want some Taffy?

A woman in the village gave it to me.

Oh, it is big.

You are very strong.

You must be strong to work in the royal kitchen.

Try it.

It is good, is it not?

Oh, right.

Well... What is your name?

You have even forgotten my name.

I am Yeon Wol.

Yeon Wol.

What a pretty name. Yeon Wol.

Gye Ra said she would leave soon?

Yes.

It did not look like she was lying.

She knows she will only bring more danger to His Majesty,

so it is understandable.

Is there any possibility that Sajo Hyun...

will regain his memory?

That is unlikely.

I just...

got kicked out of the shamanism association,

so I cannot help him.

On top of that, Ak Hee is gone.

Ak Hee is gone?

You mean, he is dead?

He has probably perished...

for he was stabbed with the dagger.

Sajo Hyun has lost his memory,

and Ak Hee is dead.

My time has come at last.

I am truly relieved that the epidemic disease...

has been brought under control.

The cure Chief Priest Chung Ta gave out...

was effective.

We managed to sort out the situation at the border too,

so the people are hugely relieved.

You little...

That is enough.

Pal Chun.

Will you do as I say?

Will you obey me?

However...

If I do that, His Highness Prince Yoong...

will suffer because of me.

You are still this deluded after everything you have seen?

Do you think Sajo Yoong considers you his father?

He is looking for you with bloodshot eyes at the moment.

The moment you are caught,

you will meet a brutal death.

I believe it is all thanks to...

Your Highness' wise decision.

- Minister of Justice. - Yes.

I do not like the way you put it.

You should not have said "I believe."

It is clearly all thanks to His Highness.

Thanks to His Highness,

Asatae has entered a new era of peace.

Premier Jin.

You are always so cheerful.

He is the true sage of Asatae.

I am much obliged, Your Highness.

Listen carefully.

I cannot help you.

However,

you must find a way to survive no matter what.

I am...

pregnant.

So, you must live.

Survive...

and protect this child.

Your Highness.

Do you mean...

Survive,

no matter what.

- Ki Chul. - Yes, Your Highness.

We should release Ji Jeon Seo.

He will be useful to us.

His Majesty told me to make your bed with these.

The blanket was made with the fabric...

His Majesty dyed himself many years ago.

Will you not make me a beautiful outfit?

Since we knew each other.

You look like you cross...

fields and mountains freely.

Would you not prefer something practical to something beautiful?

Yes, I guess.

She would have been upset that I refused to make it beautiful.

She will be surprised.

Was she looking at my room?

Your Majesty.

I will come back.

Please get better.

Why?

Your Majesty.

Who are you?

Pardon?

You were not an ordinary court maid.

Were you?

Were you...

my lover?

Answer me.

Why did you think so?

Because I keep feeling sad.

Because my heart keeps aching.

What happened to us?

Tell me right now.

We had no such relationship.

That is a lie.

We must have liked each other.

But because...

I could not wrong my sweet, gentle queen,

we broke up.

And still,

out of love and concern,

you came to see me here.

It is not true that there was nothing between us.

Am I wrong?

Answer me now.

If you want to know if it is true or not,

work hard on recovering your memory.

You cannot stay here while Prince Yoong...

runs the country.

How dare you?

Do you not trust my brother?

He is a benevolent man.

I need you to leave as soon as the sun rises.

I do not wish...

to be deluded by your schemes.

Why did I say that?

It is so sweet.

Prince Sajo Yoong is here.

My prince came to see his mother.

Sit down.

Come on.

Where is Pal Chun?

I do not know.

I swear.

I told him to not get in your way...

and go far away to somewhere like Jinhoe.

He bit his finger to write a note to swear.

Be sure he never comes here again.

Do not worry. Your father...

He knows what is best for his son.

Who says we are related?

If you say that again,

I will have you poisoned...

Okay, fine.

Have a peach.

It is so very sweet.

No, thank you.

I bought a stack of them to appease the Queen.

She pretended to eat in my presence,

but she then threw them away.

Last year, she ate peaches nonstop.

What has gotten into her now?

Why are you telling me this now?

What?

I know how busy you are.

How could I invite you over for peaches?

Prince.

Geum Hwa, you sly thing.

Gye Ra.

Ha Rang, you came too?

I missed you.

We checked the north and east.

There were a few traps.

Assassins were lying in ambush too.

It is a good thing the mountains are not too rocky.

A map of the village with marks for places you must beware of.

I marked them myself.

Thank you.

Thank you, Master Yang.

I am helping because you asked,

but you cannot be here forever.

I am sorry.

I want to help in what way I can.

Your Majesty. You said you would read.

I collected plants to make a dye.

It is pretty.

Aster flowers?

You went to the west valley?

You looked around the whole mountain already?

I was out to get some herbs and vegetables.

I spoke too harshly yesterday.

I apologize.

Your room was empty, and I thought you had left.

Because I told you to.

How could I leave when you made me clothes?

I should pay you for it first.

It fits you well.

Do you like it?

Yes. You made me something very practical.

I can move my shoulders freely.

Every time I move, it rips and tears.

The underskirt should be extra wide.

Do not worry.

I will not leave even if you force me to.

Thank you.

Please come over. Your lunch is ready.

Sure, Eunuch Neung. I will wash the dishes.

These clothes may not be so functional,

but they are beautiful.

If you forgive me, please put them on.

I am at the detached palace on Mount Seowang to escort you.

You did not forget our promise, right?

I will wait for you.

Prince Ga Ron has come back...

to the detached palace on Mount Seowang.

Hwang Ga Ron?

Why?

He has come to escort Gye Ra.

To marry her.

To marry her? That jerk, Tan Ya...

Tan Ya?

Are you talking about the shaman from Jinhoe?

What is this about?

I asked you a question.

Yes. Tan Ya is Prince Ga Ron.

The King of Jinhoe adopted him as his son.

So even that jerk fell for Yeon Wol?

That jerk, Tan Ya. How dare he fool me?

He must have given her the antidote...

in exchange for her agreement to marry him.

Then...

Tan Ya might be able to bring Sajo Hyun's memories back.

Would he not?

Tan Ya will not be able to do so.

He just specializes in talismans.

You also put the talismans you bought from him...

on my forehead. Remember?

Gye Ra will make her move soon.

Then I will soon find out...

if Sajo Hyun's memories came back...

or if Ak Hee indeed dissipated.

I ask for a private audience, Your Majesty.

Come in.

How do I look?

Does it mean you forgive me?

I never hated you.

I mean, you did not need my forgiveness, to begin with.

Well,

I have a favour to ask.

What is it?

Could I ask you for a hug, Your Majesty?

I understand that you must feel guilty toward the Queen.

But still. I would like a hug from you.

Just this once, I would like...

Please hug me tighter.

Master Ak Hee. It is me.

Please take me to the room in your mind like before.

Master Ak Hee.

Master Ak Hee!

Master Ak Hee.

Where are you, Master Ak Hee?

Master Ak Hee.

Please call my name.

Your Majesty.

You are quite strong.

I thought you were going to break my bones.

I am sorry, Your Majesty.

I wanted to help you get your memories back.

Oh, my. What is this?

What is it? What is wrong?

Look at this.

Your Majesty.

I apologize for not saying goodbye in person.

I will leave behind this beautiful outfit.

I do not deserve...

to wear this beautiful outfit.

One more thing.

I have marked spots you must be careful around...

when you explore the mountain and the village.

You must always keep your guard up and be careful.

It would be great if Eunuch Neung could always accompany you.

She explored...

the mountain quite a lot to harvest vegetables.

But she had done that to draw this map. Oh, my.

- Eunuch Neung. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Am I in danger right now?

Are there people who want to take my life?

Eunuch Neung.

I deserve death, Your Majesty.

Do you know why Yeon Wol left?

I do not know why.

She did not tell me in advance that she would be leaving.

Perhaps,

this might be why.

What is this?

Is there anyone who knows about Yeon Wol?

If there is, come out. I must talk to you.

I saw you meet up with Yeon Wol!

We checked the north and east.

There were a few traps.

Can I trust that woman?

I am not sure. But...

I do want to trust her. So I will.

Show yourselves.

Your Highness.

You really came.

I promised to come. Did I not?

You are indeed a cool woman.

Then let us set the mood first.

Listen. I would like some drinks and food.

Wait.

This was the condition of my promise.

I promised to marry you...

if His Majesty were to recover completely.

However, His Majesty has not fully recovered,

so we must rediscuss our promise.

He has not fully recovered?

He is no longer paralysed,

but he has developed another problem.

Hence,

I cannot marry you.

Do you think I will let you go unscathed?

Suit yourself. I came prepared.

Then...

with this dagger you gave me,

can I go ahead and kill you?

Kill me.

You would rather die than marry me?

I am offended.

I do not want to get blood on my hands.

I shall drag you to Jinhoe...

and make you suffer forever.

Guards!

Lock her up in the shed.

Your Majesty.

We meet again, Prince Ga Ron.

Yes.

You do not look so pallid anymore.

You must have fully recovered from the disease.

It delights me to know...

that the royal physicians' hard work has paid off.

I am much obliged.

I hear that you wish to marry this lady?

In return for this cure.

However,

this cure did not work for me.

But you are no longer paralysed.

Will you insist that you naturally recovered without doing anything?

We pulled out the dagger.

You are Tan Ya, the shaman.

Hence, you must know all about the dagger.

Chung Ta, this sly rat.

Let us go.

Leave her...

with me.

Whether you recovered because of the cure or not,

we made a promise.

Prince Ga Ron, you know very well...

that such a promise is not justified to begin with.

She is my woman. The prince of Jinhoe...

dares to covet her?

Your Majesty. Stop!

Your Majesty, did you regain your memory?

Did you really regain your memory?

Why did you make such a reckless promise?

How could you come here? Have you no fear?

Why did you leave me without a word?

What is the point...

of regaining my memory if you are gone?

It would be meaningless...

to rule over the whole world while sitting on the throne,

with you gone.

I simply...

wanted to save Your Majesty.

Nothing else matters to me.

I only think of Your Majesty...

You are a fool.

Why are you such a fool?

I am relieved that you regained your memory.

I have not...

regained my memory.

However,

I can feel it.

How much I loved you...

and how precious you were to me.

Your Majesty.

So I came to save you myself...

and promised to do someone a favour.

What favour?

I was told that you have seen this before.

So...

do not be surprised.

I am ready.

Do not tell me... Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Gye Ra.

I missed you, Gye Ra.

Master Ak Hee?

("Be the Wind" by Kim Jae Hwan has now been released!)

(Love Song for Illusion)

Now that I have nearly perished,

I know this for sure.

I do not want to let you go.

Gye Ra!

- You can make her yours. - The day you hand over the throne,

Chung Ta will perform the confining ritual on Sajo Hyun.

Is it truly...

His Majesty's child?

How dare you.

I am sorry.

For loving you this much when I am married to my queen.

Your Majesty only loved Lady Yeon Wol.

Do not let the Queen and Sajo Yoong deceive you.

Master Yang!
