[Episode 6]

How long have you been here?

About an hour.

But first,

shouldn't you be asking why I'm here?

You knew all along,

starting from that day, huh?

Why am I...

Ouch.

What's going on?

I need to go to the palace first.

That is...

a butcher's mask.

Black attire.

Court physician's attire.

Eun Jo, who was with me, probably saw him more clearly than I did.

Was Physician Hong with you?

How did you know I'm with the Police Bureau?

Well...

Anyway, about this, it's truly fortunate

that you resolved it.

It was you.

Gil Dong.

Where's Gil Dong?

He's not here.

Let's check over there.

Wouldn't he have gone this way?

Oh please, I'm sure Gil Dong escaped just fine.

Then, that's a relief.

Oh, my.

Is that Eun Jo?

Huh?

Excuse me, could you help me...

- Eun Jo! - Eun Jo!

Oh no, what do we do?

- Eun Jo! - Eun Jo!

Oh dear, this is...

Why didn't you ask from the start?

Because you would've wanted to hide it.

That night,

I heard from the guards why they were chasing Gil Dong.

They said Gil Dong's name appeared in a blood letter,

but there's no way you killed

the former Chief Inspector during your wedding.

Even if you had, you would've hidden it just the same.

Seeing that you came here, it really must be a false charge.

Seems like we came here for the same reason.

You came in case someone showed up to collect the fake Gil Dong's body,

didn't you?

I'm sorry for deceiving you

all this time.

No need to apologize.

For a woman to step forward and help the poor,

it's something that deserves proper praise.

So, stop making that expression with my face.

Buried over there.

I'll at least offer Gil Dong a memorial meal.

Who's there?

What? What is it?

What's happening?

Isn't it a wild animal?

Don't worry, Lady Dong Ju.

You're the beast here. What trick are you playing?

Jeez.

You know why they stopped?

That road is where tigers and other wild beasts roam.

That's the one who framed you.

I need to know who it is.

It's dangerous, so let's just stop here.

I don't care.

I do.

I don't want you getting hurt over this.

Seems you forgot, but that body is mine.

If you go there and get torn apart by beasts, that would be me.

Oh.

I forgot.

Do you have any suspects?

I mean the person who killed the former Chief Inspector.

Half the capital could've had a grudge against him.

So, half the capital wanted him dead, right?

Finding the culprit might be difficult now.

After tonight, they'll never reveal themselves.

Why would he present himself at the Police Bureau as Gil Dong?

Perhaps, they wanted to close the case with the death of suspect Gil Dong.

They needed a suspect people would accept,

and that suspect was Gil Dong.

People will believe Gil Dong is truly dead.

He was just a petty thief,

but once he gained a name, the rumors spiraled out of control.

I'm sorry to the deceased,

but perhaps it's right that the name 'Gil Dong' disappears this way.

Wait.

Are you saying you'll keep stealing?

Your silence says you will.

I just can't say I won't.

The reason I didn't say you were Gil Dong

was because you couldn't steal while we were body-swapped.

Of course. Don't worry.

Do you think I'm acting like this just because I'm worried about myself?

As I said, stepping forward to help them as a woman

was something worthy of praise.

But that's in the past, so I'll leave it at that.

But things are different now.

Because it's you. You're that woman.

Theft charges, a fall, murder accusations, a frame-up.

All those threats are yours now.

Do you know how I felt when I went to check that fake Gil Dong's body?

I blamed and hated myself,

thinking this all went wrong because I hid you,

because I didn't stop you.

There's no need for that.

I haven't been caught yet...

But you already were,

by me.

This is a warning.

Whether in that body or this one,

if you step forward to steal again, you'll definitely be caught.

By my hands again.

In the end, I got caught like this.

I'll be going now.

Stop.

Why is that wench here at this hour?

A man?

How dare she...

Darn you.

[Naehun]

Young lady, the master has arrived.

Please come out quickly!

Oh, yes.

Young lady.

Have you returned?

I told you to mind your appearance even for a brief outing.

- Huh? - Young lady.

Your shoes.

Oh.

Because I was eager to see you quickly.

Are you using me as an excuse again?

Here, take this to your betrothed.

Since he held a funeral, he must be exhausted.

Oh.

About my wedding...

Your wedding will likely be postponed.

Because it would be difficult for them to hold two grand ceremonies in one year.

You don't resemble each other. You look lovely though.

Young lady.

Did you just laugh?

I wasn't laughing. Someone said I don't look like you...

Oh...

No, no, that's not it.

No, I mean...

Young lady.

You don't resemble each other.

You look lovely though.

Why did that thought come to mind of all things?

Do I seem that pretty to him?

Could it be a kind of exclamation?

Like saying a mountain is lofty

or a flower is lovely?

Oh! Since when have you been here?

From the moment you started talking to yourself.

So, you heard everything.

This.

My brother asked me to give this to you.

He still thinks I'm your fiancée.

I intend to talk about calling off the engagement today.

Very well.

Your complexion still looks pale.

It seems the struggle of coming through the rain the other day

still lingers.

You are greatly mistaken. Then, I shall take my leave.

I don't think he's fine...

Oh, my.

With you dressed like this, you look like a real noble lady, Eun Jo.

How am I even supposed to tie this...

I'm in no mood for this. Who's asking to see me now?

The Chief Secretary's eldest son?

I wonder why you wanted to see... me?

Were you out with a man yesterday?

A man?

Did he see me with her yesterday?

Huh.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Your shameless face takes after your father.

What is all this commotion?

Father.

I saw this wench with some man.

Is that true?

Urgh, even the Chief Secretary...

Wait.

As the Chief Secretary's eldest son, who frequents the palace daily,

there's no way he wouldn't recognize my face as a Grand Prince.

Must I answer such vulgar suspicions?

What do you mean?

What did you say?

If you were a man of virtue,

you'd have asked for the circumstances first, even in doubt.

The person I met yesterday was my young master.

Who did you think it was?

Did you not even check his face?

I didn't get that far...

But, to think a wench would wander outside at such a late hour...

A wench, you say?

Though my status is low, I'm your elder in the family register now.

That word is far too harsh.

Above all, to insult me is to disregard

the respect owed to the deceased.

Surely a gentleman like you knows that.

Even in the royal court,

when a commoner is taken as a royal concubine,

she is granted the proper title and shown due respect.

What kind of attitude is this?

How dare you talk to me like this, not knowing your place...

Don't act rashly.

Father.

She isn't wrong.

Maintain proper decorum.

The devotion you should have shown in serving my father,

let it be fulfilled in honoring him for the rest of your life.

Seung Jae, get ready to enter the palace and follow me.

Yes.

We'll speak later.

If need be.

Lay even a finger on me

and you'll be beheaded.

What?

I thought I'd talk with the young grandson.

I'm only telling you this

since the men of this household seem to lack respect for their elders,

so take it to heart.

From this moment on,

uttering words like 'eolnyeo' or 'concubine,'

or threats of trampling or killing before me,

any of it will not be tolerated.

I intended to crush you thoroughly,

but you're not even worth the effort.

What?

Oh, I see it now.

So, that explains why you lied about the groom

and went through with the wedding.

You had foreseen his death date, huh?

Be honest.

You wanted to play the role of the mistress of the annex, didn't you?

Yes, that's right.

So, what Sim Cheong bargained for wasn't the 300 sacks of rice to honor her father,

but the title of 'madam of the Chief Secretary's household,'

the wealth it brings, the shared prestige,

all for mere social climbing...

How predictable and dull.

Listen, Grandson.

I'm not speaking of status, but of the respect owed to a person.

Why can you not grasp something so basic?

Frankly, I care nothing for your vulgar mindset,

nor do I wish to lecture you.

Just maintain basic decency from now on.

You're no different in the end.

Why not show your true self to that man?

He might've remembered you more fondly that way.

That man?

Wait, what? There's another man?

Deliver this to the Queen Dowager.

Offer her my respects as well.

Today, Her Majesty ordered that you pay your respects in person.

Rather than sweets like yakgwa, have dried jujubes instead.

Your Majesty has a cold constitution, so it will be good for your health.

Please open your mouth.

I heard you even stopped by the Royal Clinic every morning for herbal decoctions.

Yes.

What preposterous trick are you pulling now?

I wish to clear up the misunderstanding you just had.

A misunderstanding?

Your son...

No, I meant myself.

I'm neither a rogue nor a thug, as you fear.

Admittedly, I'm playful in all matters,

sometimes full of bravado,

and stubborn when obsessed, occasionally displaying princely arrogance.

Though strictly speaking, that's not a flaw since I'm a prince.

Anyway,

I readily share my possessions with the needy,

and occasionally shows great generosity.

I accept rejection gracefully,

yet still

wishes them well with gratitude,

conceals others' shame, and...

You certainly boast skillfully about yourself.

Because my pride is also Your Majesty's pride.

Tsk.

All this is to thank you for raising your son so splendidly.

You've only realized that now?

You audacious one.

The Queen Dowager is like any other mother.

Your time of reflection ends now.

Will you receive morning greetings from now on?

Head Court Lady Kim.

Summon Officer Seo immediately and have him bring the girl.

Whom do you mean?

Court lady Hong Si.

Can we not say Hong Si was expelled from the palace?

But if Her Majesty tries to find her through the Inner Court Registry,

things will only become more complicated.

I will go outside the palace and bring her myself.

No, the situation is urgent, so we go together.

Your Highness.

She doesn't seem to be in the annex.

Where did she go?

Dae Chu, go check Hyeminseo.

Yes.

Your young master won't return until around Sul hour.

Is it alright for you to stay here so late?

Everyone is out, so it's fine.

I have matters to discuss with the young master.

Is anyone here?

That voice is...

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

Uh.

I'm a friend of Dae Il's from the academy.

Ah, I see.

Unfortunately, our young master has gone out.

Oh.

He's here for some business with me.

What brings you all the way here?

Eun Jo!

How could you address the young master's friend casually?

We're on informal terms in many ways, so it's fine.

Huh?

Saying that will startle her.

I frequent Hyeminseo for business, so we've known each other casually.

Ah, yes.

So, what's this...

about?

There's someone looking for Hong Si.

Who is Hong Si?

Court lady Hong Si?

If I came all this way for that name, so can you guess who's looking for her?

What should I do? I suppose I should go.

Fine, come back another time for the chicken soup.

Wait, just a moment. Wait, Eun Jo!

I have something for you.

Why is the Queen Dowager looking for me?

How would I know?

Why would you even come to my house and eat our chicken soup?

What am I to do with Mother insisting on cooking it?

Please stop calling her 'Mother' so naturally.

Why did you leave these beautiful shoes in your drawer?

You even placed them carefully inside.

No.

Hold on.

This is...

Oh?

Did I do that? I placed them carefully?

Mother.

No...

It seems your daughter left them on purpose, so why bring them out?

Pardon?

You've retrieved them anyway.

Give them to me. I'll wear them.

Wow, whoever chose these shoes has truly excellent taste.

This lotus leaf was beside it.

You even dried this with care?

I kept it because it seemed precious.

It's obvious, isn't it?

Does it look quite precious even to you, Mother?

No, it doesn't.

It came with those embroidered shoes.

Why are you yelling with that expression?

Don't you see Mother is startled?

Apologize immediately.

My apologies.

It's alright.

What's wrong with you?

I'll leave this lotus leaf here.

Since it seems too precious.

Well... why don't you go ahead first?

A Meom, may I speak with you privately?

What is it you want to tell me?

It's rude to say this upon first meeting, and I know it sounds absurd.

But for now, you should keep some distance from your daughter.

Do you mean because she is now married and belongs to another household?

Huh?

Yes, that's right.

If she visits her parents often, what will the in-laws say?

That seems likely.

I just acted on my own desire.

I didn't realize it when she lived with me.

Now that she's gone, I want her closer.

Me too.

Pardon?

Oh, I mean she likely feels the same way.

Oh.

Anyway, as you advised,

I'll try to keep more distance.

It'll be brief, very brief.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You reminded me of my mother.

Oh, yes.

And never make chicken soup like that for your daughter.

Give them back. It's mine.

Oh, what's this talk?

You know, between us...

Hey, what do you mean?

It's just the circumstances.

Mine is yours, and yours is mine.

Since we switched bodies, it feels like treasure hunting.

Uncovering what this body hides, one by one.

What's next?

There's nothing.

I kept those shoes only because throwing them away seemed wrong.

That's certainly how it looks.

I'll head to my quarters from here, so go to the central courtyard yourself.

Keep your head bowed.

- Darn it. - Your Highness.

Ah, Chief Secretary, it's been a long time.

Have you been well?

I... heard about your father's passing.

He had suffered long in sickness.

I sincerely hope he now rests in peace.

Did you ever meet my father?

I heard his illness was grave.

I am humbly grateful.

I heard that last night Your Highness entered His Majesty's bedchamber

and pointed out the excessive use of medicinal herb.

Ah, yes, I did.

As the Deputy Chief of the Royal Clinic, I take full responsibility.

I'll interrogate the royal physicians strictly...

Don't do that. That won't be necessary.

Rather than pressing them, shouldn't we simply share our opinions?

I will carry out your orders.

Very well.

I must take my leave now.

You, attendant to the Grand Prince, halt.

You dropped this. Take it back.

Give it to me.

Why is that one attending His Highness...

You there, didn't you hear him?

Court Lady Kim, enter the Queen Dowager's quarters. She urgently requests you.

Yes.

Let's return to your quarters.

Ah, yes.

The Grand Prince doesn't seem to know much about incense.

Chief Secretary.

Can you tell me the name of the herb imported from Ming?

Why do you ask about that?

I wish to learn for my studies.

Who knows, it might prove useful someday.

It's gokdu, an ingredient made from flower seeds

exclusively cultivated in Ming.

Gokdu?

Thank you.

I heard you summoned me, Your Majesty.

I summoned you to commend your recent accomplishment.

When you say 'commend,'

it sounds as though there is something else to it.

Quite clever.

You're quick-witted and perceptive.

From now on, you shall keep watch over the Grand Prince.

Watch over him?

You truly have chosen the right person for the task.

Especially, investigate the women around him with utmost discretion.

Ah.

His Highness' women?

As ordered, I'll investigate more closely.

After this incident, I feel uneasy.

I worry he may be meeting

some lowborn woman with no family or lineage while wandering the streets.

Your Majesty,

about what you just said,

I implore you never to reveal such thoughts before the Grand Prince.

What?

You're right.

That boy always does the opposite,

so forbidding him would only make him more persistent.

You understand him well.

And one more thing.

Find out who that woman is who was running hand in hand with him in the courtyard.

If I tell my brother, he'll surely say I was reckless as a woman.

Please help me, Your Majesty.

I was dreading the idea of forming ties with the Chief Secretary's family,

this becomes most opportune.

I'll speak of it soon, when the time is right.

Thank you.

Hae Rim, have you made up your mind?

Rumors about the broken engagement will trouble you for some time.

I will

endure them.

Why is he so late?

Your Highness, Hong Si have arrived.

Tell her to enter.

What did the Queen Dowager say?

Later. I'm exhausted.

With that face, you didn't make a mistake, right?

You wouldn't understand.

Running around all day in this small body is no easy task.

That body is my body, so I know very well.

Stop exaggerating and get up quickly.

Did he fall asleep already?

He must have been truly exhausted.

I will

keep them with me.

♫ I clasped my hands and hoped ♫

♫ When that moment finally found me ♫

♫ Longingly treasured ♫

♫ I'll call out your love once more ♫

♫ All those unbearably beautiful, indelible days ♫

♫ Turning back time to where we first met ♫

♫ You're my everything to me ♫

♫ That pulled me in ♫

♫ The great sunshine that is you, to me ♫

♫ The moment I saw you again ♫

♫ My heart calls out to you ♫

♫ Once again, we are again ♫

Stay still.

I'm just appreciating how good-looking I am.

At least at this moment,

the soul swap doesn't seem so bad, does it?

I didn't mean it

the other night.

About catching you with my own hands.

No.

You have to mean it.

The reason I did that

was simply because

my heart ached for them.

Seeing patients so starved that the medicine wouldn't even work,

I couldn't stand by idly, so I began.

Someone like me doing this probably makes no sense to you.

I don't understand myself either.

What on earth made me this way?

No matter how hard I thought, I couldn't find an answer.

So,

I decided this meddling was a mission

heaven gave me.

That way, I wouldn't have to look for a reason.

And it made things a bit easier.

Not for anyone else,

but for my own peace of mind.

I'm selfish, right?

Perhaps,

it might even be vanity.

That's following your heart.

And it's sincere.

As for the promise you made to me before...

From now on,

stay within my reach.

Only as far as I can embrace.

'But, if you go beyond that and disturb the foundation of Joseon,

I will catch you.'

Such a day should never come.

Surely not.

Can a petty thief, stealing here and there, truly threaten the foundations of Joseon?

I'll make a promise too.

If, by some chance, I must be caught,

it must be by your hand, Grand Prince.

Your Highness, Officer Seo is here to see you.

Let him in.

We need to switch seats.

Did I fail to read the mood and come in too early?

Yeah, from now on, count to ten at the door before entering.

What was that about the Chief Secretary earlier?

Did you enter His Majesty's bedchamber?

Right.

I meant to mention that when we met the other day, but I forgot.

Do you think the Grand Prince was trying to test you, Father?

It didn't seem that way to me.

I thought the same.

But, what is it that keeps bothering you?

Prince Do Wol.

That name seems to weigh on my mind.

You asked about the herb?

No wonder the Chief Secretary and Suk Yong brought up my name.

Since His Majesty didn't get particularly angry either, I thought it was over.

That's how they are.

Even when you speak without intent, others assign meaning to it.

Living as a Grand Prince isn't all easy either.

Even just making the bedding causes a fuss in the residence,

and merely asking the names of the herbs has the royal physicians investigating.

Neither words nor actions can be taken lightly.

Hey.

I spoke so carelessly in front of someone who suddenly became a young widow.

Well?

Your in-laws seemed surprisingly kind.

Did they?

That can't be.

I am treated properly as the noble lady.

Don't worry about me.

However,

His Majesty must have been flustered,

suddenly faced with such a considerate younger sibling.

What was the herb called again?

It was gokdu.

Is His Majesty feeling his age too?

His illness seems to be worsening.

Are you unwell?

My body feels unusually heavy.

Why are you feeling sick?

Lately, your days haven't been particularly different,

except for not burning incense these past few days.

Bring in

the incense.

His Highness is showing signs of addiction.

If the Grand Prince entered the bedchamber with ulterior motives,

we can't simply stand by, can we?

Since he delivered the secret document to His Majesty,

the Grand Prince seems to be subtly interfering with my work.

Shall we remove him discreetly?

One wrong move could spell disaster.

His Majesty is one who regards the sanctity of royalty as inviolable.

Justification.

We need justification.

We must comb through every trace of the Grand Prince's activities.

Every small rumor, down to the last one.

Understood.

This is not your job.

Since we're cornering the Grand Prince, stay out of any potential danger.

Then, who will handle this?

I applied to the Bureau of Censors, but was assigned to the Royal Investigative Bureau.

Rumors say you pulled strings.

Bureau of Censors.

Were you meant to inspect the corruption of high-ranking officials there,

or did you intend to hold power over the noble families of this land?

It seems I should have done that?

You have no qualification

for that.

I never granted it to you.

Don't waste words with this beast. Just tell me what to do.

What could it be?

If it's the Royal Investigative Bureau...

Is it

the royal family?

Take everything, without exception, to the Royal Investigative Bureau.

- Yes. - Yes.

What are you doing right now?

Had I not said that if you explained the investigation, I would file the report?

There's nothing to say.

It's highly classified.

Make sure it's done by the hour of Shin.

- Yes. - Yes.

Gil Dong?

How amusing.

What's that long line?

They say Gil Dong died.

It seems people have been lining up for over ten days

to raise money for his funeral.

Go and leave it there.

But this is real money. Beggars will take it all.

Let it be then.

Gil Dong would even

[Deceased] give his funeral money to someone

who's starving.

A memorial?

I heard it's on the street. Won't you go see?

Even a memorial?

Gil Dong isn't the kind to receive such things.

I feel sorry for the deceased,

but let the great name in the rumor travel far.

[Deceased]

[Name]

[Capture Gil Dong]

Both in the Royal Investigative Bureau, yet you're an administrator and I'm an official.

You're the son of the current Chief Secretary,

and I'm the son of a former Chief Scholar.

Speak properly.

I'm a top scorer, but you entered through privilege due to family.

By the way, why are we circling this place?

We need to see what the Grand Prince looks like before fetching him.

He hasn't left his residence for days.

Making me want to see him more.

Go see him then.

Just go see him.

A mere administrator of the Royal Investigative Bureau

can't just meet a Grand Prince casually.

You mean he hasn't visited the Police Bureau for days?

These days, he's rereading the Confucian classics in his residence.

Confucian...

He hasn't touched a book since age ten.

Is he unwell?

Maybe he did read, but only pretended to...

I kind of thought it might be that...

I shall observe his complexion.

Is it someone who looks like her?

Why are you here?

Her Majesty the Queen will arrive by the hour of Oh.

Until then, you are ordered to converse among themselves.

- Yes. - Yes.

How long has it been since our last gathering?

It's good to see everyone.

- Yes. - Yes.

Oh.

Let's comfort our Young Lady Sin.

She is soon to be broken off from her engagement.

I said it was a secret, didn't I?

Unfortunate news should always be shared for comfort.

Oh my heavens!

- How did that... - You must be devastated.

Oh.

I'm truly fine.

Now tell us.

Why cancel it?

That is...

If you don't speak plainly now, all blame will fall on you.

They might say it's because she's hiding a man,

or because her face is plain,

or because her skin is pockmarked.

Isn't that so?

Grand Prince Do Wol has arrived.

Grand Prince?

An engagement is merely a promise.

Not an unbreakable taboo.

So breaking a mere promise can't make one guilty.

I apologize for interrupting you young ladies' conversation.

I heard the ruckus as I passed by.

It's been a long time, Your Highness.

You know me?

I saw you once at the Queen Dowager's residence.

How strange, I don't recall.

Forgive my rudeness.

Not at all.

You there. Lady Hae Rim of the Sin family.

Yes?

Might you spare me a moment?

You mean you want to talk to me?

Wasn't that exactly like it?

The prince appears when the heroine's in dire peril.

Pardon?

So, this is how it feels.

I think I'm suited for this.

Should I go rescue people often?

Oh.

You don't enjoy folktales?

Yes, I do.

The Tale of Seo Dong, Princess Pyeonggang, Jang Kki, Sukhyangjeon,

Lee Chung Pung, Kim Sang Seo.

The tale of Kim Sang Seo?

That book is hard to come by.

When Seol Bing broke her hundred-year vow with her fiancé,

I cried waterfalls of tears.

When Seol Bing was reborn and returned to her fiancé's household,

I cheered wildly.

But the real highlight of this book is...

- Seol Bing's great victory in war, - Seol Bing's great victory in war,

- disguised as a man. - disguised as a man.

- You're an avid reader. - You read it thoroughly.

Ah.

Are you truly the Grand Prince?

This face speaks for itself. Surprising, isn't it?

Until now, I did not realize it was Your Highness.

- I deeply apologize. - Not at all.

I was merely passing by myself.

You seemed to be in trouble, so I stepped in.

Was I presumptuous?

No.

You came at the right time, with the right intent.

In truth, I owe you an apology as well.

I unintentionally caused a stain on your reputation.

Aren't you curious what happened?

You'll tell me

when the time is right.

Thank you for understanding.

One day, I'll tell you everything.

Let go of me!

Let go! I said let go!

Well, who do we have here?

Darn it.

We meet again here.

Do you also know Young Master Jae Yi, Grand Prince?

Ah, well...

Grand Prince?

Now, I see why you're here dressed like that.

Ah, that's a misunderstanding.

A Royal Investigative Bureau administrator meets a Grand Prince of no official rank,

yet stands idly by without bowing?

You, shut up.

It's only because of who I am that you're still alive.

What is this...

I'm Im Jae Yi, an administrator of the Royal Investigative Bureau.

I humbly greet Your Highness.

I will

definitely see you again.

I must take my leave to attend to family matters.

You, come with me.

Stay put. Don't cause a fuss.

Your Highness, that person leaving with Hong Si...

As expected, he proved useful.

Your Highness.

By now, Hong Si should have arrived at the Chief Secretary's residence.

If I step in, things will get worse.

Keeping my distance now is best.

Your distance?

I understand, but Hong Si will be deeply hurt.

I suppose so.

At the very least, she'll get a beating.

With that temper, he'll likely tie her up in a straw mat.

Then, we must assume her arms or legs will be broken at the very least.

Your Highness, your feelings seem different from before.

Aren't you the one who followed her bridal palanquin on her wedding day?

Did I do that?

Have you forgotten already?

On that rainy day, fearing Hong Si's palanquin might topple,

every path the procession needed to take,

you ordered to pave it with dry sand,

straw bundles, and gravel.

How is that any different from following her all the way?

You were so worried her embroidered shoes might get wet, you were in anguish.

Truly, why does your master act like this?

Worried the wedding palanquin might shake or fall,

you were so deeply concerned then.

I can't take this.

What am I supposed to do now?

Will you go to Hong Si?

Dae Chu, go to the Saboksi and bring a horse.

From here, you go in by yourself.

I've been wondering all day,

why is my grandson so angry?

- What? - It's too dreadful to repeat myself.

Anyone seeing this would think you are my husband.

Forgotten already?

- Household discipline. - That?

It just seems like an excuse.

The look in your eyes is wavering terribly.

What do you want?

I'm telling you not to try anything.

It's a warning.

Administrator Im.

The Chief Secretary summoned you.

Go ahead.

It seems your father summoned you urgently.

That punk is really getting under my skin.

So, he's been harboring feelings for her all this time.

Anyway, if he lays even a finger on this body...

Eun Jo, Eun Jo...

The young master of your household waited quite a while before leaving.

Really?

What is this?

They look like Royal Investigative Bureau soldiers.

What is this? Clear the way!

We meet again.

Grand Prince.

Jeez, he could've waited just a little longer while he was here.

But he just can't wait.

Exhausting. Truly exhausting.

[Name]

What is this?

Are you Gil Dong?

Today, you are under arrest

for releasing the murderer Gil Dong.

What?

I'm back.

I'm finally back...

Then, Hong Eun Jo is...

Who are you...

Dae Chu, sword.

Hyah!

Go!

Your Highness!

Hyah!

♫ I want to hold you, loving you ♫

♫ I don't want to let you go for even a moment ♫

♫ Staying just like that dreamlike image ♫

♫ Will you stay forever, even as time passes ♫

♫ Now, come to my side, loving you ♫

♫ If you come one step closer ♫

♫ Every day filled with you and me ♫

A royal prince siding with a thief

is unheard of in this world.

You look like you're about to confess?

We should have ripped off the butcher's mask and seen their face first.

Then, we could've protected everything from the start without this mess.

Why have you become so twisted?

I was just worried!

Don't make me grow attached

to this darn household.

Hong Eun Jo is a woman who has already married.

You seem to understand nothing of the situation.

So, we have to put it back the way it was.
