THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAFETY GUIDELINES

100 YEARS AGO

Month of the Ox, Year of the Fire Rat.

The winter this year

has been especially cold.

On the day a bitter wind swept through,

the king set out of the palace, garbed in the dragon robe.

Enemy forces were closing in on the Capital

and the threat of it falling was far too great to ignore.

This became known

as the flight of the King.

However, the enemy forces' pursuit was relentless,

and the safety of the King resembled a flickering candle in the wind.

That was when a military officer stepped forward.

Escort Officer Cheon Geum-hwi of the Royal Guards Command

at your service, Your Majesty.

Yongdam Village is a day's distance to the south.

It is my hometown.

It is known as the village where dragons ascended from

and its mountain ridges tower above. It would serve as an ideal refuge.

Yongdam Village…

All right. Let us go there.

Halt!

Your Majesty, you must flee this instant.

There are enemy forces encamped at the foot of Mount Paltae.

Your Majesty.

The foot of Mount Paltae is just north of Yongdam Village.

He is right, Your Majesty.

It appears they have already discovered our travel route.

We must change course, Your Majesty.

But where are we to go now?

Where do I go to stay alive?

Perhaps, we should swiftly make our way south--

And what if they follow us?

What, then?

All right.

Send someone to Yongdam Village

and have them raise the ceremonial flag high.

We must make our enemies think that I am headed there.

That deception should give us enough time to flee.

Yes, Your Majesty.

That is a great idea, Your Majesty.

You cannot, Your Majesty.

That will leave the inhabitants of Yongdam Village in danger.

If you can just permit me one hour,

I will be able to evacuate them. Please, permit me that time, Your Majesty.

You fool!

Our enemies will figure it all out if the villagers are evacuated.

The greater cause demands sacrifice.

Your Majesty!

Yongdam Village is home to my elderly mother and young son.

Please, Your Majesty!

He cannot be allowed to botch things up.

Bind him and ensure he cannot escape.

Let us go.

That night, we survived

and they died in our place.

How will we ever pay

for this grievous sin?

Is everything

in this book true?

Did King Yeonjong

truly sacrifice all the villagers here

to flee from enemy forces?

Thus, this Cheon Geum-hwi fellow…

harbored a great grudge against the royal family…

and became the Eight-foot-tall Ghost

to get his revenge--

Your Majesty.

My great-great-grandfather

dared to write about the private affairs of the royal family.

This blasphemous sin…

should never be forgiven.

I shall decide your fate later.

You may leave me now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

THE ANTHOLOGY OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS

Yeo-ri?

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

I have suddenly been struck

by an immense sadness that is hard to bear.

Is it Cheon Geum-hwi's sadness?

I suspect

it might be, Your Majesty.

It appears Cheon Geum-hwi

was filled with bitter sorrow and crushing guilt because he believed

his family and the villagers all died because of him.

He was overwhelmed by sadness and suffered immensely.

Thus, it appears that led him to become that terrible, evil spirit.

However, it was not just one person's sorrow.

It was dozens.

No, it was the sorrow of even more than that.

And it swept over me, all at once.

Now, I understand why his energy felt so chaotic.

The Eight-foot-tall Ghost…

was not alone.

He is not alone?

What does that mean?

Cheon Geum-hwi's grudge

and the grudges of the villagers of Yongdam

from 100 years ago are intertwined.

Have you forgotten?

It is an ember ghost who was burned to death.

However, that book does not mention anything of the sort.

That means something else happened afterward.

I cannot believe it.

How can a king sacrifice his own people like that

just to save himself?

Not all kings were like the one reigning now.

Especially, amidst warfare.

You were here 100 years ago,

you must have seen everything.

I was unaware of the execution of the Eight-foot-tall Ghost,

but this place was truly hell back then.

Villagers were letting out bloody cries as they burned in their fiery graves,

but the ones who fled to save themselves

remained unbelievably vile and contemptible.

Thus,

that is why you loathed mortals so.

Do you

still loathe them now?

Yeo-ri.

My lord?

Lord Yoon Gap?

What is the matter?

What is wrong with you?

I just saw Lord Yoon Gap's soul.

- What? - I am certain it was him.

He must have escaped from the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.

It does not make any sense.

He has become even mightier after devouring Bibi's luminous pearl.

Why release a soul he devoured for no reason?

Unless he was spat out on purpose…

On purpose?

Why?

The fire energy is especially strong tonight.

It would be an ideal night for the Eight-foot-tall Ghost to act.

The Prince's chambers!

Your Highness!

- My goodness. Your Highness. - Your Highness.

- Your Highness. - The evil spirit…

- Is the evil spirit back? - Your Highness.

Stay away. Stay away from me.

Your Highness! Your--

No!

Your Highness.

It is over now.

You are safe.

You are safe now.

I have already prayed for half a day, but Lord Yoon Gap has yet to appear.

Could I have been mistaken?

It does not make any sense.

He has become even mightier after devouring Bibi's luminous pearl.

Why release a soul he devoured for no reason?

Unless he was spat out on purpose…

I am sure I saw Lord Yoon Gap's soul.

I just need to find his soul first and then, ask him what happened.

After that, his body…

Yeo-ri.

His body should be returned…

Let us go.

Come on.

Where?

The lord's daughter prepared tea and sweets for us.

I heard you saved me once again, my lord.

Thank you so much.

That was not me. Yeo-ri was the one who saved you.

You would have been in big trouble if it were not for her.

I am aware. I heard it from Mak-geum.

Thanks.

Sure.

I asked to see you because I had a question for you, my lord.

I have been cured of my illness, but there is still tension in the air.

Father remains silently grim.

And the steward is busy shushing everyone.

What in the world happened yesterday?

Well, you see, your father--

How would we know?

His Lord and I do not know anything.

I understand you two are like siblings who grew up in the same village,

but why are you two always together?

Men and women should keep a certain distance.

- What are you doing? - It is my way of saying

His Lord and I go beyond a sibling bond.

Are you saying

His Lord gave you that?

Then…

My lord?

The caragana is about to bloom.

Yes. It is amazing, is it not?

Despite it being a spring flower,

it appears it is still trying to bloom in the middle of winter.

Your Majesty. It is I, the Head Eunuch.

You may enter.

Your Majesty, this report just arrived from the palace.

What does it say, Your Majesty?

Lord Kim Bong-in who fled during his exile procession…

was found in the mountains near the Capital…

as a slain body.

My goodness. How did that happen?

I did not mean anything by it when I showed Her Lady this.

She asked about our relationship

and I could not tell her we were patron deity and disciple.

That is why.

All right.

But…

why do you fret so?

Fret? Who is fretting? Not me.

Do not fret.

I have no interest in Choi Won-u's daughter.

Not even in the slightest.

Do you just make flowers bloom for a woman you have no interest in?

What?

I was not going to be this petty and point it out.

Last time, you had a warm breeze blow through

to make the wild chrysanthemums bloom.

And you dare use that move to woo another woman?

While I watch, no less?

I was not behind that.

Then, why else would caragana bloom in the dead of winter?

I actually wish

I was behind that.

What?

This has been bothering me for a while now.

Why did you give us that plant?

Why else? Because it is pretty.

I am not dumb. It emitted an auspicious energy.

I know it is not a typical plant.

The sorrow of a mighty, vengeful ghost, like the Eight-foot-tall Ghost,

can only be relieved of its sorrow

by wholly expending the energy of a luminous pearl.

However, if things go awry,

that scoundrel could snatch it up before it is used on him.

You saw it for yourself.

You saw how he robbed your brother of his.

The flowers of the caragana possess great water energy.

If you ingest it,

it will allow you to face him and fend him off

to keep the luminous pearl out of his grasp

while every last bit of its energy is drained to be used against him.

However, the issue is that

that caragana has not once bloomed

in several decades.

And now, that damn caragana is about to bloom.

It just has to start flowering now, as we expose the Ghost's true identity.

Hey.

Let us go.

Hey, Grilled Abalone.

There you go with that damn Grilled Abalone again.

- Now is not the time. Later. - Do not be absurd.

You cannot deliver any more devastating news to His Majesty.

Go get some real grilled abalones.

Is there something wrong with His Majesty?

They say Lord Kim Bong-in was discovered as a corpse.

Pardon?

His Majesty remains quite distressed.

Take this Imugi away with you.

It appears the Eight-foot-tall Ghost tossed the useless card from his hand.

Have you still not found him?

Forgive me, my lord.

That fellow, Pung-san, simply disappeared without a trace.

Even the state troops failed to locate him.

You should have located him before they even had the chance to!

After Lord Kwak passed tragically,

I was the one who took you in when you were left to drift aimlessly.

However, the thanks I get for my selfless act

is for you to be completely useless?

Please, keep calm, my lord.

I shall dispatch more men and continue the search with fervor.

Pung-san…

Because of him, even the almighty Lord Kim Bong-in

met his demise.

If the world finds out that I had kept him close…

Forget the vacant seat of the Chief State Councillor,

even my current position will be in peril.

I shall return to the palace as soon as day breaks tomorrow.

There,

I shall decide on your fate.

Yes, Your Majesty.

However, I shall deliberate only on the murder of Book Merchant Jang Eon-su.

The Anthology of Light and Darkness shall not be a factor.

Your Majesty. My great-great-grandfather…

wrote about the private affairs of the royal family.

It was undeniably a blasphemous sin. Are you really suggesting…

you wish to cover it up?

That was most certainly a blasphemous sin.

However, your great-great-grandfather was truly a faithful subject.

If it were not for Lord Choi Gil-sang, I may have never known…

such sorrowful grudges…

were buried here.

- Your Majesty. - If anything…

you are guilty of knowing me so little and having so little faith in me.

And those sins…

even led you to unnecessary murder.

Your Majesty…

Forgive me,

but may I speak, Your Majesty?

You may.

Please allow me to perform a passage rite for the vengeful ghost

of Book Merchant Jang Eon-su.

Lord Choi Won-u must be the one to send him off to cross over,

if His Lord wishes to avoid further mishaps.

SPIRIT TABLET OF THE LATE JANG EON-SU

I know of your indignation.

Thus, I seek to provide you with solace through an offering of your favorite food

and this prayer in hopes of lessening the burden of your karmic hindrance.

Please let go of your resentment and cross over to the afterlife.

You know of my indignation?

What could a wench like you know?

You do not know anything.

Do you believe that he will even get properly punished

for killing a lowly creature like me?

I will stay put where I am.

I will make that scoundrel suffer a painful death as he did with me.

My lord, you must ask for his forgiveness.

If you do not, his grudge will remain unresolved.

See?

He has no desire to ask for forgiveness.

Why would he?

There is no way the esteemed lord would ever kneel

before a lowly creature like me.

Then,

you can tell him yourself.

What? Again?

You cannot!

You rotten scoundrel!

Yeo-ri… She has grabbed Lord Choi by his collar, Your Majesty.

She is not Yeo-ri right now. The vengeful ghost has possessed her body.

You shall die as well.

You ended my life, now it is time to end yours!

- What do you think you are doing? - Do you know…

how much I suffered and grieved?

I cannot leave before I annihilate you.

I refuse to leave!

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I am truly sorry…

for taking your life.

My lord…

Father.

It was never my intention to kill you.

I was afraid.

I was filled with dread.

That is how I ended up doing that.

Life had been hell for the past five years.

I shall take care of your surviving family.

I shall atone for this sin for the rest of my life.

So please…

Please forgive me.

I beg you…

Please forgive me.

Why, that is… Catch him!

Go! Catch him this instant!

Catch him! Damn it.

Why that rotten scoundrel… Catch him!

This lowly creature

offers his humblest greetings to His Lord,

second only to the King, the Chief State Councillor.

What nonsense are you spewing?

Don't just stand there.

Cut his head off!

Yes, my lord.

Wait. Hold on.

Did you just refer to me as the Chief State Councillor?

Yes, my lord.

Because you will become one, soon enough.

This lowly creature's supernatural abilities were always quite reliable.

Could he be telling the truth?

However, your aura remains as foul as ever.

You will soon be engulfed by the floodwater.

What? What did you say?

Do you know why Lord Kwak Sang-chung ended up like that,

despite the Haeilbu talisman?

It is because of the Imugi inside Examiner Yoon Gap's body.

That Imugi will not go easy on you because you are the Minister of Rites.

Then…

will I end up like the Minister of War?

I…

appear before you, despite the threat of patrolling guards,

because I wish to protect you, my lord.

I wish to have you ascend to the seat of the Chief State Councillor.

That is why I am here.

Ma'am!

My goodness. My precious kids are back.

Goodness me.

Have you been well?

With Venerable Gaseop lodged near the palace,

I was worried about you being alone.

Gosh, why would you worry about me?

Well done on safely making that long journey.

Is Yongdam Village still the same?

Yes.

Goodness. Look at my son. He is a shell of his former self.

Tell the King to stop making you work so much.

He may have traveled comfortably on horseback and in palanquins,

but you two must have walked all that way.

Please, lower your voice.

You are right! That King was the only one on a horse.

And he is so stingy. Not even a bottle of booze after all that.

Did he now? How incredibly stingy of him.

Did you prepare anything tasty?

Right. You must be hungry.

Go and unpack. I will whip something up in no time.

- Let me help you. - No need. Gosh.

Stop it.

Father!

Gwang!

Did you have a safe journey?

I did. Have you been well?

Your Majesty.

Welcome back.

Queen.

The Eight-foot-tall Ghost appeared in the Prince's quarters?

Yes. I thought it was imperative that you knew,

so I ran over here when I heard you were back.

Is His Highness all right?

By heaven's grace, we were able to avoid a disaster, thanks to the Ghostbane Stone.

However, all the preventive measures we had taken proved to be useless.

It seems that Eight-foot-tall Ghost became an even mightier evil spirit

after devouring the Imugi's luminous pearl.

My powers have grown weaker.

I will soon be no different from a mortal.

I might not be able to protect Yeo-ri at this rate…

Murder is subject to the dictates of the law.

It cannot be taken lightly.

Choi Won-u deserves to be beheaded.

However, it was an act of involuntary manslaughter,

incited by blackmail from Book Merchant Jang Eon-su.

He is also a descendant of a faithful escort

to the King 100 years ago during the war

and has spent his whole life fulfilling his duties of loyalty and filial piety.

He shall be granted clemency

and be sentenced 50 strikes of the cane

and a funerary fine of 10 nyang.

FUNERARY FINE: IMPOSED ON THE KILLER FOR THE VICTIM'S FUNERAL EXPENSES

What is the matter?

Is your punishment too harsh?

No, Your Majesty.

Compared to the heinous crimes that I have committed,

the punishment is too light.

Your benevolence is boundless, Your Majesty.

Father.

Father…

I am all right.

Do not worry about me and go back home.

Do not just stand there. Escort the lady away.

Yes, Your Excellency.

My lady.

Let us go.

Your Excellency…

My lord?

You mean that caragana?

I did bring it with me to the Capital this time…

It appears your energy is a good match for the caragana.

Its blossoms are elusive and rare, yet it has become abundant with buds.

That is because I watered it well and let it bask in the sun.

I put great effort into its care.

Because it was a gift from you, my lord.

When it is in full bloom,

you must let me know.

Why, my lord?

Well, you see…

Many days have passed since the buds appeared,

but they have not budged since.

It is not wilting, either.

It is as if it is frozen in time.

May I ask where this is all coming from?

What is so special about that caragana?

CHEON GEUM-HWI

Your Majesty, is this not

the Eight-foot-tall Ghost's identification tablet?

You said the ghost's mortal name was Cheon Geum-hwi.

I checked for the name in the military examination register

through the records of King Yeonjong's reign.

Are you suggesting we do a passage rite for the Eight-foot-tall Ghost?

Yes.

After seeing the one performed for that book merchant last time,

I suspected such a tablet would be necessary.

Hence, I had them produce a new one.

YEONHUI DIVISION ROYAL GUARDS COMMAND

Observing Lord Choi Won-u's recent ordeal has led me to reflect on many things.

Hence, I have decided

for the sake of Cheon Geum-hwi,

his family, and all the villagers who met tragic deaths due to my ancestors,

to carry out a passage rite.

Furthermore, I shall offer my sincerest apologies

to them for the crimes my ancestors have committed.

Can you do that for me?

I remain limited in my skills and will not be able to perform it alone.

I will need Venerable Gaseop to lead it.

All right. You may have him do so.

Furthermore, the goal of a passage rite is to provide solace for the spirit,

so it will be better to exclude Imugi Gangcheori from the ceremony.

Yeo-ri, what are you talking about?

What will you do if the Eight-foot-tall Ghost causes chaos?

The only one who stands a chance against that ghost is him.

I concur.

For His Majesty's safety, Imugi Gangcheori must be present.

However…

As if anything around here would go smoothly without me.

Do not worry.

I, too, must see the demise of that abhorrent, evil spirit for myself.

I shall join you.

In ten days,

it will be the 100th anniversary of the Eight-foot-tall Ghost's death.

Since heretical ceremonies are outlawed within the Capital,

it shall be performed at Jinseung Temple, past the fortress walls.

Hence, prepare accordingly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

It will be the 100th anniversary in exactly 10 days…

Damn it to hell.

Why is everything so perfectly timed?

With His Majesty so determined, the ghost will soon cross over.

I mean it, this time.

Grandma only failed the passage rite

because she did not know the ghost's identity.

And you saw it for yourself.

Once Lord Choi Won-u genuinely asked for forgiveness,

the ghost's grudge was relieved.

His Majesty, of all people,

is looking to earnestly ask for forgiveness from the ghost.

Even that ghost's deep grudge will be relieved.

What are you trying to say?

What I mean is…

There is no need for you to try so hard as well.

What?

You did not even like coming to the palace from the start.

You came because of me.

I am already plenty thankful for all that you have done.

You are the one who begged me on your knees to catch it

and now you want me to step aside?

You do not even have a Ghostbane Stone.

You expect me to send you off to face that ghost alone?

Do you truly believe I would be able to do that?

I just… What I meant was…

You…

What exactly are you thinking?

Eyeglass Artisan Yeo-ri. Her Grace has summoned you.

Her Grace?

I summoned you to ask you a question.

I hear you accompanied His Majesty to the hot spring recently.

Yes, Your Grace.

The Eight-foot-tall Ghost, was it?

Did you find out who that evil spirit truly is?

That…

is not something I am at liberty to divulge.

Forgive me, Your Grace.

Then…

can you answer me this?

My Yeongin…

Do you know where he is?

Did he safely cross the River of the Afterlife?

His Highness, Prince Yeongin…

was devoured by the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.

My Yeongin…

He is unable to rest peacefully, even in death, because of me.

That evil spirit…

Your Grace.

I am an eyeglass artisan by trade, but I am able to see ghosts.

A ghost who has long frequented the inner palace told me

that an item His Highness cherished during his lifetime

remains in his chambers.

An item he cherished?

Yes, Your Grace.

If you wholeheartedly pray for his return with that object in front of you,

you will be able to help him free himself from the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.

Your Grace, please let us look.

You might get hurt, Your Grace.

- Start searching. - Yes, ma'am.

All of His Highness's personal effects have already been cleared away.

Your Grace.

Those are…

the silk pouches Your Grace handmade

for His Highness, every Lunar New Year.

Yes.

They are.

I was worried about the malevolence of spirits…

so, I…

They were very much cherished by His Highness when he was alive.

He said he could feel the warmth of Your Grace from them.

What was with all that fibbing?

If some prayer was all it took to free a soul from the Eight-foot-tall Ghost,

then every ghost he devoured should be free by now.

I worried something terrible might happen if I even took prayer away from her.

And…

there is nothing more tenacious in this world

than a mother's prayer.

We cannot say it will not have any effect with certainty.

Hey, why are you crying? I did not do anything to you.

My mother…

She also desperately prayed for me.

I wanted to see her so badly before I died,

but the Chief Royal Physician refused to give me permission.

He said he could not let

all the eunuchs go home over a measly cold.

Did you stay by Her Grace's side

because you missed your own mother's embrace?

Yeah.

I need to stop by the Royal Couturier.

Can you wait for me by the well?

I bought them a while ago but I finally get to give them to you.

They are for you. Try them on.

They fit perfectly!

You have not been able to go because you did not have shoes, right?

Go to your mother with those shoes on.

She must be waiting for you.

THE ANTHOLOGY OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS

That depressing face of yours is even more unbearable in that state.

My goodness, when did you return?

More importantly, what did you just say?

How dare you make such rude remarks

about His Majesty's glowing royal countenance?

Then? His face's been that mopey for days. Should I just continue to feign ignorance?

Look here, Gangcheori.

I was not the least bit surprised.

Did you think a ghost with that deep of a grudge

would not even have such a tale attached?

I have always been proud of my heritage and bloodline.

The burden of the lineage weighed heavily on my shoulders…

and I tried with all my might…

to become a king worthy of the dynasty.

However…

it appears I was on a fool's errand.

I realized this after entering a mortal body.

For mortals, the human body itself is the sin.

To fulfill the desires of the human body,

they seek out what is tastier, garb that seems a bit nicer,

and a house that is a little bigger.

They remain so desperate to climb up that ladder

and obsess over money.

What is this out of the blue?

However…

it turns out not all mortals are like that.

Occasionally, there were those

who cared more about other things

besides trivial desires of the human body.

That is why I, the King, exist.

If I spread fitting and righteous principles

to exercise people-centered governance,

the avarice of human nature will eventually be suppressed

to lead the way for an age of peace and prosperity--

So, do you think that is possible?

The state-owned slave reform plans you showed me a while back…

"Life is short, why waste energy on such a useless pursuit?"

You criticized it so, did you not?

You will achieve that noble pursuit you seek.

After all,

you are one of those mortals…

I come across occasionally.

These are the words of the exalted Gangcheori.

Feel free to believe them.

It has all been taken from me.

My body,

my life,

and all my people…

They have all been taken from me.

There you go. You must feel such immense sorrow.

Foster that grudge. That is what you must do.

Only then, will you do as I say without protest.

I appear before you, despite the threat of patrolling guards,

because I wish to protect you, my lord.

I wish to have you ascend to the seat of the Chief State Councillor.

That is why I am here.

Then, what must I do?

You just need to lure out Examiner Yoon Gap for me.

I, Pung-san, will take care of the rest.

I came because you said you would treat me to tasty things,

but what did you want?

The nation is amidst a crisis.

Since you are the subject who is most favored by His Majesty…

I thought we could become good acquaintances

to discuss political affairs and such.

Let us see here…

You wish for me to pass on this flattery to the King

so that he may look upon you favorably?

You must be after the empty seat of the Chief State Councillor.

Why, you scoundrel!

You are really something else.

That Imugi will not go easy on you because you are the Minister of Rites.

I must remain calm. He is an Imugi.

Let me see here…

Now, I remember.

You are that rascal who used to follow Kwak Sang-chung around like fish poop.

I may be cutting my life short, but I cannot stand this any longer!

We are still drinking. Where are you running off to?

Pung-san told me to keep him occupied for as long as I could.

Why did you bring me here?

Well, you see…

His Lord is not home yet?

No. I guess you just missed each other on the way out?

It seems so.

Where is he? I assumed he went home when I could not find him anywhere.

Who could that…

My goodness. Gap!

Goodness me. What happened to him?

It seems he drank a bit too much.

This is an all-too-common sight at our courtesan house.

Gosh, I do not even smell any alcohol. How did he drink too much?

My poor son.

Wait.

Oh, my. He is burning up.

Keep an eye on him for me.

- I will fetch a physician. - All right.

That Imugi must already be weak with his waning water energy.

After devouring a luminous pearl,

suppressing an Imugi like that will be a breeze for our Warrior Deity.

Are you awake? How do you feel?

You were burning up all night.

You must be thirsty. Have some water first.

Yeo-ri.

Yes.

It is me.

Lord Yoon Gap.

Gosh, Gap.

When did you wake up?

How are you feeling? Did the fever break?

Let me see…

Mother.

What did you just say?

Yes, Mother.

It is me.

It is Gap.

My goodness.

Goodness… Gap.

My word.

Are you my Gap?

Goodness.

I cannot believe this!

My word…

My dear child.

My dear child has come back to me.

My goodness. Gap!

I am so proud of you. Well done.

It has returned.

The soul has returned to its original body.

- His Lord has returned. - Thank goodness.

Then, what happened to Gangcheori?

Where did he go?

SPECIAL THANKS TO LEE KYU-HAN AND SONG YOUNG-KYU

It seems something is definitely going on.

I am so afraid that Gangcheori will also end up like Bibi.

I have come back because there was something I needed to tell you.

How would you like to live 100 years with me?

The Yoon Gap that I cherished so has returned to me.

As soon as I felt your royal frame, I experienced unbearable pain.

- Yeo-ri! - Gangcheori?

That body will not remain yours.

Pour this on the King's Ghostbane Stone.

Your Majesty, please forgive this unfaithful servant.

My lord, you cannot.
