I wish for Charan

to be my coach, Grandfather.

I am not a bargaining chip.

All I ask

is to have you by my side.

Anyway,

I shall be your coach from now on.

Ouch...

- Can't you be gentle? - Please don't move.

It's okay. Be at ease.

What happened?

His Royal Highness had a minor injury during training, Your Royal Highness.

Let's get the doctors here.

It's nothing serious, Father.

His Royal Highness simply misstepped,

causing him to fall and twist his ankle.

I'm giving him first aid, Your Royal Highness.

Let's have Khanin take a break for now, then.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

I need a word with my son.

Khanin,

no matter how important the Competition is

to the Assavadevathins,

nothing is more important to me than you.

I don't want to see you hurt again.

I will be more careful, Father.

Khanin,

before you do anything,

you must first compose yourself.

You're lucky. This is not bad.

- Oh... - Your Royal Highness...

Your Royal Highness...

Please have a seat.

I want to wash my hair.

Wash your hair? Oh...

Then, please wait a moment.

Since you dye your hair often,

I recommend using Lolane Intense Care.

It helps detangle messy hair, making it soft

and easy to comb in just seven seconds.

Lolane!

Yeah.

The geographical landscape of Meenanagarin,

the southern city of Emmaly,

is characterized by rainforests

or tropical rainforests.

The city lies along the coast,

and its main export commodity is pearls.

Pearls?

Especially the world-renowned dark champagne pearls.

This is beautiful.

But they probably cost a lot, don't they?

Dark champagne pearls are the priciest.

And...

is Meenanagarin far from here?

It is the closest to Davin City

and has the second-largest population after Davin City.

Your Royal Highness...

I'd love to see the dark champagne pearls with my own eyes.

I believe that the treasury here...

Not Grandfather's pearls

nor the Assavadevathins'.

I want to see ones...

that are accessible to other people.

We still have time.

Actually, we can just go to Meenanagarin to see them.

But your ankle has just healed.

- I think... - It's just healed.

That means it's already healed.

Look.

I can walk around now.

Please take me there.

Please.

It's not far, you said.

If you wish to go out now,

you may only

be able to visit the pearl shop

behind the university, Your Royal Highness.

Alright, let's go there.

Chakri!

I'm going to the market behind the university.

Charan's coming with me.

You don't need to come, right?

Okay?

Chakri said we could go.

Your Royal Highness,

please slow down.

If I do that,

you'll have to talk to me casually,

okay?

That would be improper.

Your Royal Highness!

Freshly grilled pork right here.

Here you go.

Would you like some freshly grilled pork?

Sure.

Charan...

Is that one good?

Would you like to try some?

Well...

I can't imagine how the flavors would blend.

[Grilled pork with milk tea]

This dish used to be only for miners

as they needed energy-boosting food that was quick and easy to eat,

so they combined savory and sweet tastes in one.

But since the taste was too unusual,

they added spices to improve it.

Thanks.

Would you like some grilled pork? They're still warm.

How do you sell these?

Oh,

Prince Khanin.

How much would you like, Your Royal Highness?

One set, please.

You want some?

I'm good, Your Royal Highness.

We'll get one set, then.

Sure.

Here you are.

One emma, please.

The milk tea tastes pretty odd,

but with the grilled pork,

they're a good combo.

You should try some.

I...

I know you've tried it before,

but I want you to join me.

Isn't it good?

Hey,

give me a smile.

It's inappropriate to do it here.

Come on, it won't hurt.

Smile.

Give me a smile.

Do you even know how to smile?

Come on.

That's it.

Let's go.

This way, Your Royal Highness.

[Smooth skin starts at Gangnam Clinic]

Do you have any dark champagne pearls from Meenanagarin?

Well,

the pearls are in high demand now, Your Royal Highness.

They're hard to come by

and must be ordered in advance.

Shall we order it now, Your Royal Highness?

Well...

So we came all this way for nothing.

I truly apologize, Your Royal Highness.

If you wish to see it,

I know a place I can take you to.

This is the manor of the Phithakthewas.

How beautiful.

So it's only you and your butler in this whole place?

This manor was built when Emmaly was first founded.

The Phithakthewas have long served as royal guards to the Assavadevathins.

Royal guards?

Oh, so the reason you don't fence in front of others

is because you're part of a royal guard clan?

That's right.

A royal guard's powers ought not to be exposed to enemies.

Right.

This way, please.

This is where I spend most of my time.

It's where I paint.

I would've mistaken this for a gallery if you hadn't told me.

It doesn't look anything like an old manor of a royal guard clan.

Did you paint all of these yourself?

I did most of the paintings myself,

but some,

like this one,

were done by my mother.

Wow, so everyone in your family is good at painting, right?

Not exactly,

but painting is something I really enjoy.

Every time I paint,

it calms me down.

You should teach me, too.

- I'm afraid that wouldn't be proper. - "I'm afraid that wouldn't be proper."

I know.

But who gets to decide what's proper or not?

If you ask me,

I think it's totally alright.

Wait. Hold on.

This is my private space.

I'm afraid it's not quite proper.

Please proceed that way.

Why, though?

Can't I be in this room?

Please let me see your paintings.

I won't cause any trouble, promise.

Then, give me a moment.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

What have you got?

These pearls belonged to my mother.

She absolutely adored pearls

and dreamed of collecting every shade of them.

It all started with this one.

She told me it was a gift from my father

back when they started dating.

A white pearl,

the color of purity,

sincerity,

freedom,

and loyalty.

This is the dark champagne pearl you wanted to see.

It is truly stunning.

My father had it custom-made

and gave it to my mother on their wedding day.

He seemed so romantic.

If I may...

Now that you've seen it with your own eyes,

would you still want to order the dark champagne pearls?

It is truly magnificent.

I want one.

I'll take care of it.

Um...

I think I'd rather go see it in Meenanagarin myself.

If that chance comes by,

I'll take you there.

Okay.

[Prince Khanin and Charan Spotted Enjoying Market Stroll Together]

[He's really cute! #PrinceKhanin]

[They've got that "just started dating" vibe! #PrinceKhanin]

People are overhyping Khanin.

Why haven't you looked into Prince Khanin's background

to find something to use against him?

The reason you want me to look into this

is because you're dying to know

if Khanin and Charan

are actually dating, right?

And if they are,

would you be upset?

There's no reason for me to be upset

because I...

belong to you, Prince Ramil.

Do you really belong to me?

Khanin?

How is everything going?

Are you getting used to living in the palace yet?

I am, Your Royal Highness.

That's great.

I brought His Majesty some bird's nest today.

Do you want to have a taste as well?

It's alright, Your Royal Highness.

I'm not particularly fond of it.

Oh, really?

No worries.

If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to let me know.

After all,

the Assavadevathins stand like the sun over the Meenanagarins.

I shall go to see His Majesty now.

Can I use my hands?

Whatever.

Charan,

once today's lesson is over,

I'd like to visit the market again.

There are still many things I haven't tried.

I'm afraid that would not be possible.

Besides today's lesson,

you still have fencing training and archery practice.

Oh, right.

I just ran into Prince Wasin.

He told me that

the Assavadevathins

stand like the sun over the Meenanagarins.

Doesn't that sound a little odd?

Perhaps Prince Wasin was implying that

the Meenanagarins

will always remain loyal to the Assavadevathins.

So that's why he said he stands with me.

Should an Assavadevathin be appointed King of Emmaly again,

Meenanagarin would surely benefit.

What kind of benefit?

In the past,

when pearls from Meenanagarin became scarce,

the Assavadevathins allocated a budget for pearl research,

including the development of new pearl colors

to increase production.

If Prince Tharin ascends to the throne,

Meenanagarin will likely continue to receive research funding.

However, since Prince Wasin has no heirs, his words...

were probably just a gesture of affection for Your Royal Highness.

Understood, Professor.

What would I do without you?

Hold this with your left hand.

Pick up the arrow with your right hand.

Set the tip of the arrow here.

Aim at the target.

Aim at the target.

Let's do it again.

A yellow pearl,

symbolizing good friendship

and good health.

It's yours now.

You promised me

you'd take me to Meenanagarin.

I will keep my promise.

Have a good night.

Keep your index finger above

with your middle and ring fingers below.

Concentrate, Khanin.

I did it,

- didn't I? - It was likely a fluke.

Now, do it yourself.

Hey!

What?

Have you found the person you were after?

Do you work here?

Do you think this apron is just an accessory?

Obviously, I work here.

Have you found the person you were after?

No.

- You haven't? - Yeah.

I've seen him, though.

I'm not lying.

You don't believe me?

I'll take you to him after work.

Are you going back to your country this holiday?

I don't think so, Your Majesty.

I wish to spend my time off here.

That is perfect.

Go ahead.

Are you done with your fencing training?

Come, have a seat.

I was just speaking with Prince Calvin,

and I thought it'd be best to have you join us now.

What's the matter, Grandfather?

I see that

you and Prince Calvin are around the same age.

It'd be nice if you two grew close.

Also, I'd like you to take him on a trip

to Davichmetha for a break.

A trip to Davichmetha?

That's right.

Ramil and Ava will be going along, too.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please look after Khanin and Prince Calvin for me, Charan.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why does this palace feel so unlike the others, Chakri?

Prince Calvin,

Khanin,

it is my pleasure to welcome you both in person.

Thank you very much, Your Royal Highness.

You are all welcome.

It has come to my attention

that Prince Calvin desires to stay elsewhere.

In truth, this place would be far more convenient.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness.

I'm not very familiar with such magnificence.

Actually, I only feel some regret,

but it's okay.

As for Khanin,

a guest room has been arranged over there.

Thank you, Your Royal Highness.

I'm sure you'd like to check out our palace at least a little.

Please, feel free.

Khanin,

please come this way.

Ava is cozying up to Khanin,

probably hoping to ride his popularity with the public.

Ridiculous.

But I think

it would be great if you gained some popularity, too.

I had some free time,

so I came to see your archery range.

I hope you don't mind if Khanin's joining us, too.

Of course, I don't.

It's your range after all.

Have you been here for some time now?

Are you done with the palace tour?

Would you like to try archery with us?

I appreciate your kindness,

but I shall pass for now.

Is there anywhere you'd like to visit?

There are plenty of beautiful buildings and places to visit around here.

Well...

Is there anywhere you'd recommend?

I wanna check out the city.

I just looked it up,

and it looks super interesting.

Since we've already come all the way from Davin,

we shall make the most of it.

Would you care to join us?

It's more fun with more company.

How could I miss a trip with Prince Calvin?

Then, I'll book a hotel for us all.

Chakri, you don't have to come.

Oh...

If my father knows I'm here...

Do not worry.

Let yourself go a little,

so we can all have fun together.

What is this called?

Davicher, Your Royal Highness.

It's a local apple-based cocktail,

bearing a taste similar to apple cider.

Wow,

that's a unique taste.

There's nothing of this sort in my country.

It's one of Davichmetha's prides,

even though I've never tried it myself.

Since you're already here, you should give it a try.

I don't enjoy drinking.

I prefer watching others get drunk.

Come on, Ava.

Try some. It's wonderful.

No booze, no fun, right?

Sure.

You're here, Ramil?

Do you see me here?

Ava.

Yes?

Let's hit the dance floor.

We can do that?

Of course!

We're just having fun. What could possibly be wrong?

But I can't dance.

Just do what I do.

Prince Calvin, would you like to join us?

I think I'll pass.

Paytai,

come dance with us.

Me?

- Yes. - Me?

- Yeah. - Are you talking to me?

Let's go!

Your Royal Highness!

Your Royal Highness...

That must've been a blast, huh?

My apologies, Your Royal Highness.

I am truly remorseful.

Please command me

as you wish, Your Royal Highness.

Any command?

For Your Royal Highness,

I am like a pet,

a devoted one,

ready to obey every command of yours.

Oh, my God.

Prince Calvin, come on.

Said he was going to the toilet but ditched us.

Hey,

I can walk.

- I barely drank anything. - It's okay.

Charan...

There you are.

Your Royal Highness,

I humbly entrust Prince Khanin to your care.

Charan...

It's okay.

Charan!

Hey...

Charan!

Charan...

Charan...

Charan!

Hey!

Charan!

Charan...

Are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere? Tell me.

I'm okay.

Should we leave now?

Let's go.

Stay here with me.

I'm right here,

right by your side.

Charan...

You've taken care of me so much.

Now, it's my turn to take care of you.

When I was six...

Mother...

Ran, take good care of yourself, okay?

And follow His Majesty's commands.

I'll have to be away for a while,

but I promise

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Mr. Thatdanai is here.

Mother!

Mother!

Please don't leave me.

Where are you going?

Mother!

Mother...

She said she'd come back,

but she never did.

She didn't keep her promise.

Whenever it rains,

it terrifies me.

It's okay.

You don't have to talk now.

You should stay the night here.

I...

Please.

Why did you want me here?

You've saved me once again.

Who do you think did it?

A serious matter has arisen.

It is unacceptable to take Khanin into such a location.

You can't dismiss him.

I do not consent to it.

You don't need to worry.

An excellent coach has been appointed.

I am Joe, Your Royal Highness.

There are plenty of coaches in this country,

yet somehow only this one happened to be available.

Please keep a close watch over His Royal Highness.

You are allowed to cross the line.
