Original subtitles

(This drama was remade based on historical facts.)

No, wait.

Min Jin Heon?

Before opening the supreme court,

there's something we should look at.

Min Jin Heon.

A kingdom's Saheonbu...

shouldn't abuse the people like this.

(Prince Mil Poong, Yi Tan)

That's...

Goodness, look who's here.

You are the Crown Prince's friends.

Bring her inside.

How is she...

Min Jin Heon.

What is going on right now, Executive Inspector Wi?

Do you recognize her?

Look at her carefully.

Haven't you seen her before?

Prince Mil Poong.

What are you doing right now?

What do you think? I also made a new friend.

He and I sell ginseng to the Qing Dynasty.

What?

What kind of nonsense is he trying to pull?

Do you really think that excuse is going to work?

- Put your sword away. - He's of royal blood.

Let go of me! I don't care.

The Crown Prince won't be able to prove anything if we let him be!

I can see that you get angry very easily.

But your attitude...

isn't going to change anything.

The Crown Prince...

My goodness.

If you can't remember, should I help you a little?

- Stop! - "Murder the master"?

- "Murder the master"? - "Murder the master"?

An oath to murder nobles is carved on this body!

This is the real culprit of Jipyeong Oh's murder,

and Your Highness knew all of this.

"Murder the master"?

Are you saying that she is the murderer of nobles?

The Crown Prince knew about this?

What do you mean?

Your Highness!

What are you waiting for?

Please answer us.

Did you not know...

that this girl killed her master!

(Supreme Court)

- Your Highness! - What is going on?

Stop torturing...

this child.

Yes.

That day,

I saw this child.

Would that be enough?

Now,

stop all of this.

He saw her?

(Chief Inspector)

The Crown Prince saw her?

(Episode 11: The Limp, The Face with Smallpox Scars)

(and Nine Fingers)

Move! Get out of the way!

What is going on?

They caught the noble murderer.

- I heard of it. - What?

- The noble murderer? - Yes.

The nobles are in big trouble.

- You're right. - They're in big trouble indeed.

- What should we do now? - I don't know.

So what about the Crown Prince?

The situation got worse.

Saheonbu...

is accusing the Crown Prince for protecting the murderer now.

That's absurd.

The Crown Prince didn't even know who they were.

- He only... - However,

isn't it true that he kept silent about what he knew?

Bring the Crown Prince by sending the Imperial Guards.

- The Imperial Guards? - You can't do that, Your Majesty!

That could cause a war!

This is a direct order as a king!

I'm not asking you for a favor.

Your Majesty!

Don't get involved with Saheonbu's business anymore.

(Chief Censor)

This incident must be investigated fairly.

If you side with the Crown Prince Palace,

the situation will only get worse!

I'm not siding with them.

I'm just giving the Crown Prince a chance to explain himself.

Saheonbu, Saganwon, and Hongmoongwan.

(Hongmoongwan: The office of special advisors)

Are you really willing to go against all three organizations?

Are you really willing...

to become a tyrant by ignoring the law?

(Supreme Court)

I think the court has been closed already.

Then what about the Crown Prince?

We failed to arrest Do Ji Gwang.

Yeo Ji, we should see the situation in the palace immediately.

- Jang Dal, we should go. - Okay.

You should follow me to the inspectors' room. Quickly.

Yes, master.

We're attacking the shelters of the noble murderers.

The Chief Inspector has given orders to kill...

everyone that gets in our way.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

What are you doing right now?

Who is this? Isn't this the rookie who likes to bark?

You two should follow me too.

We need people even like you today.

They're going to arrest those children.

The children of noble murderers.

You're right.

And this...

is also our duty.

However, these children...

That doesn't change the fact that they are criminals.

That's why we had to arrest the human trafficker first.

But we failed.

We have no choice now.

I see.

(Crown Prince Yi Geum)

It was you and Wi Byung Ju behind this.

The children...

aren't the only ones behind this crime.

Don't you know that too?

Of course, I know.

(Min Jin Heon, Noron)

Exploitation.

Ridiculously high taxes.

Also, the poverty and hunger caused from that.

Commoners who end up losing their lands become...

tenant farmers and slaves.

They still couldn't survive,

so they had to end up selling away their own children.

Such a world...

has made those children grab blades in their hands.

But you're still doing this?

Will you say this is also for a political cause...

just like when Yi Hwon died?

This isn't about politics. It's only natural.

It's only natural for this world...

as long as statuses and power exists.

Are you saying that you didn't know...

how people innately compare themselves to others?

How can you think that you can change human nature?

And by that nature,

the people who have power to decide to kill or save them...

are the nobles of this kingdom, Your Highness.

So what?

So what?

Are you saying that you'll kill all of those children?

There are...

innocent lives among them.

Your love for the low lives is strong indeed.

But it isn't the time...

for you to feel sorry about those mere low lives.

Run away right now! Run!

This is it!

Don't lose any of them!

No! Why are you doing this?

What is this?

Why are they doing this unless they're trying to kill them here?

Stop.

Please stop.

This wasn't necessary.

This is illegal.

Are you beating everyone to death without even a trial?

Drag away this jerk first.

How could an inspector side with these criminals?

They're criminals who dared to murder nobles!

You can't do this!

Stop!

What did he do wrong?

You're the ones who are wrong!

No. No!

The Crown Prince? That's impossible!

Dal Moon. We came to ask you for a favor.

I think the Crown Prince will be taken to Hanseongbu.

(Hanseongbu: The agency in charge of Hanyang's administration)

To the Hanseongbu?

Why? What authority do they have?

Saheonbu and Hanseongbu are investigating this together.

That's ridiculous.

Then they should come to Saheonbu. Why take the Crown Prince?

Taking the Crown Prince?

Are they trying to insult him?

They want to show the people...

the Crown Prince being arrested.

That's true.

They want to embarrass him.

They deserve to be beaten to death.

How dare they...

And the palace?

What is His Majesty doing?

Please, help the Crown Prince, Your Highness.

The only person I can rely on...

is you, Your Highness.

Queen Dowager!

(Queen Inwon, Queen Dowager)

We cannot obey your order to send the Imperial Guards.

We'd rather have you strike our necks first.

Step back, Vice Minister.

We have the duty...

to protect you, Your Majesty.

If you send the Imperial Guards right now,

both parties...

will become your enemies.

Do you mean we should abandon the Crown Prince?

It was me who gave permission for this to happen.

Then will you give up your loyal officials?

Do you not know...

what chaos will come about if you get involved?

Just to protect the Crown Prince,

will you give up the officials who served you, risking their lives?

If so,

kill me too.

I didn't hold out all those years for this.

This isn't why I tried so hard to protect the throne.

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

I apologize,

but I couldn't prepare a palanquin nor a horse.

Will that be enough to insult me?

You'll need ropes too.

Take the Crown Prince to Hanseongbu.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

The Crown Prince was involved with "Murder the master".

Still, how could they arrest the Crown Prince?

How can such a thing happen?

It's the Crown Prince.

They say he's the leader of the master murderers.

He deliberately kept it a secret.

Look at him now.

Watch what you're saying.

What's wrong?

That's what happens with a peasant's child.

Why did they entrust the kingdom to a peasant's child?

- I knew that would happen. - My goodness.

- That's what they say. - Is that so?

Crown Prince!

- Yeo Ji. - Do you want to die?

What will happen if even you get arrested?

No.

Park Mun Su, isn't that your Crown Prince?

No way.

Why is...

Why is His Highness treated that way?

Master.

Master!

Let's go.

[VIU Ver] SBS E21 'Haechi' "The Limp, The Face with Smallpox Scars" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Things are panning out strangely.

And I haven't even started my plan.

That was the Crown Prince?

No wonder. He didn't look like someone who'd be in a beggar's den.

Hey.

- Do you know the Crown Prince? - What?

Answer me, you punk.

And what's the beggar's den?

Jung Jin Taek, student, born in 1644.

Why are you making a fuss? Don't you see this?

Go ahead.

I see there's a lot of aristocrats going into the capital.

They're here to cause trouble.

The master murdering group caused a commotion today.

(Jo Tae Koo)

I apologize, my lord. I was just...

- You have nine fingers. - Pardon?

It must be inconvenient.

I was doing menial tasks at the police bureau and...

(Jo Tae Koo, Chief Justice, Soron)

- Keep it up. - Yes, sir.

It's a present for you. I found it on the way here.

Welcome.

You disloyal fool.

You immediately sided with the powerful.

That's nonsense.

You're teasing me...

because I'm retreated into a back room.

You're this good even from the back room.

The capital is in chaos.

Soron's chief has returned.

Hagok Jo Tae Koo.

It seems like...

you will also take back your position as Noron's chief.

We used to be one root.

We were both in the Seoin Party, preserving the pride of Joseon.

That's a long time ago.

Now, we're just Noron and Soron.

Joseon doesn't belong to a king anymore.

It's the nobles that rule.

Hasn't it been a long time since they got corrupt?

Is it right to entrust everything to the king, as the Sorons want?

A bad king can ruin the kingdom.

It doesn't matter if it's one or many that ruins the kingdom.

Hagok.

Yes.

The Norons are corrupt.

Intoxicated by long-held power,

they're even incompetent.

But it's my foundation.

I'm going to save its roots.

And you...

will speak of the harms of the Crown Prince Palace.

It's a good opportunity to unite the divided Noron.

If you take the Crown Prince Palace as target,

we will accuse Noron of treachery.

No.

Will His Majesty be able to endure...

the nobility's strong opinions?

You probably saw...

the angry aristocrats.

You'll have to give up the Crown Prince, Hagok.

Or else, the King will...

be in danger.

I must've been crazy.

(Kim Chang Joong, Prime Minister, Noron)

How could I risk my family and life for someone like Prince Yeoning?

This isn't the time to be complaining.

Even the countryside aristocrats are gathering to the capital.

My lord, I hope the Crown Prince...

won't get dethroned like this.

What?

What are you talking about?

Then all of us will die.

The Sorons.

The Sorons will still side with the Crown Prince, right?

Of course.

The King appointed the Crown Prince.

How about His Majesty?

Last night,

he couldn't sleep at all.

I'm not the only old man.

All of you got wrinkles.

My lord!

You're here, Chief Justice.

Is there a eunuch outside?

Dethrone the Crown Prince?

But how could we, the Sorons...

do that first?

It'll happen anyway.

For the sake of His Highness,

you're suggesting we take initiative of the situation.

But will this chaos settle that way?

- Another chaos will... - The whole point of politics...

is to deal with commotion and disputes.

That is the nature of politics.

Even if we sacrifice the Crown Prince...

and manage to avoid a dispute,

another form of chaos will arise no matter what.

And the only way we can stop that fight...

is to die.

But we can't die right now.

I'm not just talking about us. I'm also talking about our King.

Therefore, let's just give in...

and come to an agreement this time around.

Who knows? Maybe one day,

we might also get to win.

- We should get going. - Yes.

Hello.

I hear there's going to be a banquet at 11am.

His Majesty also needs to be there,

so let's make this quick.

I guess we should since His Majesty also needs to attend.

We should all drink together later on.

- Long time no see. - My goodness.

- It has been so long. - How have you been?

- Goodness, hello. - It is nice to see you.

What in the world am I seeing right now?

Why do they seem so friendly?

The Sorons...

must've decided to abandon the Crown Prince.

What?

It means the Sorons came to an agreement with the other Norons.

Unbelievable.

Master Mun Su. Master.

Will you please wake up?

Gosh, Master Mun Su.

Master Mun Su!

Are you awake?

Can you hear me? My goodness.

The Crown Prince...

Ah Bong.

What happened to the Crown Prince?

Tell me.

What happened? Where is he right now?

(Hanseongbu)

I'm sure he's near here somewhere.

Did you not hear me? I command you to open the door!

His Majesty should already be here by now.

How can you not know where His Majesty is?

Please tell me.

Yi Gwang Jwa.

Your Majesty.

It hasn't even been that long since you became the Crown Prince.

But you really do know how to cause a commotion.

Inscrutable are the King's favors.

I know very well what I did wrong.

And I will...

take responsibility for my actions.

You should listen to your loyal subjects...

and dethrone me.

Who are you to take responsibility?

Do not get mistaken, Crown Prince.

I am the King of this country.

Responsibilities...

can only be taken by a person who has the right to do so.

(Episode 22 will air shortly.)

It's been almost an hour.

Does His Majesty want to discuss this or not?

Chief Justice.

His Majesty arrives!

I had...

business to take care of and couldn't properly dress myself.

Then,

shall we begin?

The Crown Prince arrives!

The Crown Prince? Why here?

Why is he here?

- Okay, let's stand. - My goodness.

- It's the Crown Prince. - The Crown Prince?

- What's going on? - He's the Crown Prince?

- Where? - Oh, my.

Did you just tell me to attend the banquet?

Yes, go and show them you're still alive and well as Crown Prince.

But Your Majesty...

I will take care of this matter.

You should preserve your position.

How...

do you mean?

I will do all my duties as king.

I allowed you to do so...

as king.

Your Majesty.

I won't bear that in mind.

Petitions related to dethroning the Crown Prince...

will not be allowed.

- Your Majesty. - The Crown Prince...

knew about the master murderers...

and protected them.

How could the nobility of this kingdom serve such a prince?

Show them you're still alive and well as Crown Prince.

But if I do so,

you will...

Does that mean you also defend the master murderers?

Defending the master murderers...

means you're considering the nobility as enemies.

The Crown Prince wasn't trying to defend the master murderers.

Then what was he trying to do?

Did you know about this too?

Was it you who permitted this?

- That makes no sense. - What a mess!

Chairman of Congress, watch what you're saying.

We're before His Majesty.

I'm asking whether the king has abandoned the nation's nobles.

If I'm...

going to disappear anyway...

The banquet is usually...

a party where many officials are served.

But today,

I want to say something different.

The master murderers.

The incident that I'm allegedly involved in.

- Did he say "Murder the masters"? - What's going on?

- He's the Crown Prince, right? - I believe so.

I knew the children who became master murderers...

were being sold to the Qing Dynasty by human traffickers.

Despite their poverty...

and hunger,

these children wanted to live in this kingdom.

But the exploitation and extreme taxes by nobles...

made their parents...

sell their own children.

My apologies, Your Highness,

but that seems to be inappropriate.

No!

I haven't finished yet.

So I started to question this.

The nobles own the farming lands.

And the people are working and paying to use those lands.

But why is this kingdom...

collecting extremely high taxes from the people?

No, Your Highness. You shouldn't say that.

Isn't that strange?

Why are they taxing...

those who work in the farming lands...

instead of those who own the farming lands?

Then are you saying that nobles should pay taxes?

Do you know...

how the merchants and low lives are making a living?

He's right.

They're making a living thanks to the farming lands we own.

Not at all.

If nobody worked in those fields,

what will you eat...

and what will you wear?

Who do you think...

relies on whom?

That's why...

I want to make this clear.

Such exploitation must disappear.

If I, the Crown Prince, get the chance to sit on the throne,

I swear to make the owner of farming lands...

to pay the tax for it.

Indeed.

Who's relying on whom to survive?

Those who own farming lands...

should pay taxes for owning them.

Why are you siding with the Crown Prince, Your Majesty?

For the greater good you should...

Do you remember what you taught me when I was the Crown Prince?

A wise man...

should be ashamed of having nothing to be ashamed of.

Politics exist to help the poor.

They're not meant to give more riches to the rich.

The Crown Prince knows shame,

and he's trying to help the weak with that heart.

I can't dethrone such a man.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, I have urgent news.

The Crown Prince said that at the banquet?

Yes, he said that he'll make nobles pay taxes.

How could he say that with a sane mind?

He should be begging now. How dare he say such things?

Immediately send announcements...

to lecturing halls and local schools.

If His Majesty can't dethrone the Crown Prince,

we can make him do it.

As you can see, I'm still the Crown Prince.

You should...

greet me with respect.

Was that why you did this?

Did you want to end our relationship because I might protect you?

You have greater responsibilities, Your Majesty.

Why...

are you thinking only about me?

Crown Prince.

I could finally say out loud...

what I truly wanted to say...

because I was temporarily...

the Crown Prince.

That time alone...

meant enough...

for me,

Your Majesty.

Let him out.

You're free now.

Why are you letting us out?

The Crown Prince is finished anyway.

Why would we need to bother his minions?

The higher-ups want us to release you.

What?

The Crown Prince is finished? What do you mean?

Step outside. Just one step outside will teach you everything.

- Please hear our words! - Please hear our words!

Please hear our words, Your Majesty!

Dethrone the Crown Prince!

How could a royal make nobles into his enemies?

Punish the Crown Prince, Your Majesty!

- Please hear our words! - What did His Highness do?

- That hurts. - Move out of the way.

- Yeo Ji. - He brought this upon himself...

to protect His Majesty.

No.

This can't happen.

We went through so much to get him up there.

What did you do?

You should've stopped him.

Yeo Ji, you should've stopped him.

I couldn't stop him.

I tried to stop him...

I should have stopped him...

But I was overwhelmed to hear...

someone with power say such things for the weak.

So I froze on the spot...

without even realizing it.

He'll end up getting dethroned, right?

How would His Majesty stand the ruckus of those nobles?

You're right. Why did he go that far?

The world knows that he has no power.

He should've just stayed silent. My goodness.

Think of how bad people must've been living, for him to say that?

He didn't say anything wrong either.

The nobles live like that thanks to us.

What did the Crown Prince say wrong about that?

These legs of mine...

also became like this because of my master!

I was also sold off as a slave.

I was told that women with smallpox scars...

can't even become a gisaeng.

My father had to sell me off to pay his taxes.

Why are they dethroning the Crown Prince?

What did he do so wrong?

What are you staring at? Move aside immediately.

Can't you hear me?

Give me my ID, and move aside.

Your Highness.

Why are you crying?

I'll have fun again outside of the palace.

Why would you cry?

It's not just their letters. Even the palace walls...

are covered with the complaints from nobles.

(Cho Hyun Myung, Soron, Junior Second Rank)

In the end, even His Majesty...

will give up on the Crown Prince.

He'll have no choice now.

Wait. Hold on.

What... What is this?

What... Who did this?

What is it?

Look at this.

A commoner has put up a letter to support the Crown Prince.

What?

Am I mistaken?

Someone put up a letter to support the Crown Prince.

Even that person's ID is here.

(ID: Used to prove one's identity in Joseon)

That person put his or her own life at risk here.

Last night, someone put up a letter to support the Crown Prince.

- A letter? - A letter?

What's it about?

- You must be joking. - I'm being serious.

The Crown Prince...

These letters were on the walls of the main entrance to the palace.

The owner of the ID was Ma Seon. I'm sure he's a low life.

But that wasn't the only letter.

Ja Dong, what are you saying?

Why are you so flustered unlike your usual self?

Your Highness. So there are IDs...

About the IDs...

IDs?

Are you telling me...

that other people have also started to place their IDs there?

Yes, Your Majesty. They've been placing it there since last night.

How many?

Hundreds, Your Majesty.

And the number keeps increasing.

Your Majesty.

(The Crown Prince was the first person...)

(to ever care about low-class people like us.)

Whatever! They can go ahead and catch us if they can.

Who's going to plow the soil if we no longer exist?

And who's going to carry the wooden carriers?

- He's right. - Be careful.

We should join.

- Let's do it. - Yes.

Goodness.

Jang Dal.

Look at all those IDs.

We should also throw in our IDs.

Yes, we should. Let them catch us if they want.

Are you saying you and your people weren't behind this?

I can't believe what I'm seeing right now.

They all stepped forward at the risk of their own lives.

This is something...

that cannot be manipulated by anyone.

It's the true thoughts of our people.

(Dal Moon, Park Mun Su)

What are the Hanseongbu and the police bureau doing?

Why aren't they stopping the people?

The imperial guards are in charge of doing that.

The imperial guards got orders from the King,

and they're currently protecting them.

- Goodness, hello. - I should also join.

Even... Even women are joining this movement?

Have they all gone mad?

[VIU Ver] SBS E22 'Haechi' "The People" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Excuse me.

Inspector, can you please give me a minute?

"Kkot Nim."

It's that girl's name, Your Highness.

(Kkot Nim)

The girl that murdered her master.

(Kkot Nim)

So this is what my name looks like.

It's my first time seeing the letters.

"Kkot Nim."

You have a pretty name.

This is mine.

(Cheon Yeo Ji)

I promise.

I'll throw in my ID along with yours.

Can I...

ask you to do me one more favor?

And...

she also asked me to tell you...

that she's grateful for what you did,

and that she'll never forget.

Let's hurry up and join.

Yes, we can't let the Crown Prince get dethroned.

No, we can't.

What he said was right.

He's on our side.

- We should support him. - Exactly.

I hope this works.

Let's hope for the best.

Instead of the aristocrats,

the people stepped up and started showing their true thoughts.

I know you're not here to tell me that the thoughts of the people...

are equal to the thoughts of the nation.

What do you think?

What if they start protesting instead of throwing in their IDs?

You won't be able to handle that.

Are you saying you're going to put faith...

in the people who are so easily wavered?

That's why you decided to embrace the Crown Prince?

It's our way to win...

although our victory may only last for a very short time.

Who knows? If we keep winning like this,

we might actually survive.

I want you to take care of a few things the Norons want.

Of course.

We still need to keep things formal.

I have to say, the Crown Prince is very unlucky.

This was his only chance...

to keep his life intact.

Goodness gracious,

you're a government official. This will get you in trouble.

But I also did it myself,

so I guess you're my accomplice now.

At least we won't be reporting on each other.

(The limp)

"The limp, The hunchback".

Those are the kinds of things that are written on the slaves' IDs.

They write down their characteristics...

so they won't be able to run away.

May I also...

enter the Prince School inside the Crown Prince Palace?

(Prince School: An office in charge of educating the Crown Prince)

- You? - I'm curious to know...

what kind of a person the Crown Prince is.

(The limp)

“Ma Seon the slave, Kim the student, The limp,”

"The hunchback, Born in 1697,"

"The face with smallpox scars..."

The Crown Prince was the first noble person...

to ever care about low-class people like us.

I'm sure the Crown Prince is a very good man.

“Kang the guard, Gae the student, Nine fingers...”

(Nine fingers)

So please...

don't dethrone the Crown Prince.

I leave my ID here,

so go ahead and catch me if you must.

However, even if my other leg ends up getting broken,

- I still support the Crown Prince. - I still support the Crown Prince.

“Si Hyeon,”

“Lowly life,”

"Spot on hand".

“Kim the intelligent”.

"Born in 1649".

"The bulging head."

Here are some great stuff. Please take a look.

- Do you have anything nice? - Come here.

Did you spend the entire day doing nothing again?

Yes.

There's nothing much I can do right now.

How can you be so relaxed...

even after seeing the Crown Prince getting away from what he did?

- What in the world... - Yoon Young.

Do you know what karma is?

(Karma: An act of stopping evil and achieving virtue)

It is a very important lesson from Buddha...

that I deeply engraved in my heart when I was at the temple.

"Karma"?

It is...

a noble ritual that has the purpose to stop evil...

and achieve virtue.

That is what karma is.

So?

I desperately hoped that he won't get dethroned this time.

Why? Because I should be the one to kick him out and become the king.

I need to be the one who stops evil...

and achieves virtue.

I should do it myself.

That way, it's real karma.

Oh, goodness.

I might get hurt.

Wait.

What did you say?

I'll break his good karma...

No, not that.

Say hello. Don't you know each other?

Wait.

It's been a while, Dal Moon.

The name just now.

You said you sent Do Ji Gwang to someone...

to bring in the beggars.

Dal Moon...

To someone named Dal Moon.

Dal Moon.

Your Highness, are you ready?

- Yes. - Anyway,

this time...

What? Am I going out secretly and causing trouble again?

I told His Majesty about my outing today.

Is that enough?

Oh, goodness.

I'm stretching my leg in front of Your Highness.

Please forgive my manners.

That's unexpected.

You were impolite from the beginning.

That's when I had no judgment...

and ran around...

all over the place.

So?

Do you have some judgment now?

A little bit.

I know that I'm a nobody.

I thought everything will be over once I become an inspector.

But I was blocked on all four sides.

You can't do anything with intentions alone.

That's what I've learned.

It sounds like you're talking to me.

Still,

you're saying let's not get tired.

Your Highness.

Yeo Ji.

When did you get here?

I thought I'd miss you. I'm glad.

Similar incidents will happen again.

Incidents targeting you...

and threatening you.

Your life might be in danger when that happens.

So?

I knew all of that.

How could I not know?

Really competent people usually become targets of many people.

I'm smart, handsome...

and I'm the Crown Prince.

I should blame myself for being so competent. Who else?

What?

So,

there's no need to worry.

You don't understand what I'm saying.

That's not what I'm saying.

I don't understand?

- Are you pointing that out to me? - Your Highness.

I have something to tell you.

I may be in a bad condition but I should see him off.

I'm the Crown Prince's little brother and subject.

How could I stay like this?

- Enter the Crown Prince Palace? - Yes.

I want to become a court lady.

Do you know what that means?

I do.

There are requirements to become a court lady.

And I don't have the qualifications.

That's not what I mean.

Then what do you mean?

Don't you know what a court maid does?

As a court maid, you have to serve your superiors and...

Of course.

I know that there's a lot of miscellaneous work.

That's not what I mean.

I might work in the kitchen too.

That's not a problem either.

I'm a really good cook.

So,

let me enter the Crown Prince Palace.

I want to...

protect you no matter what.

Right.

You wouldn't understand me.

Pardon?

I'll tell you...

what it means to be a court maid.

That means...

this can happen.

And...

this.

And...

this...

can...

happen too.

If a man does that to a woman, it means one thing.

Did it finally happen?

Inspector Park Mun Su is pursuing...

the Minister of Secretary's secret crimes.

Foolish people usually...

think they can do something other people can't do.

Just be like other people, Your Highness.

I said I'll hear more of those arrogant words.

You will certainly become a good king.

We finally got a chance.

How far are you willing to go?

It will be a hard path for you.
