Let Soo go now!

Wolves are known to follow one female wolf until death.

You are an animal, after all.

Won!

Make a choice.

Is it Hae Soo?

Or the dead king?

Greetings to the new king, Your Majesty.

Long, long...

Long live the king.

[Episode 15]

Ji Mong.

Queen Yoo said to me that I must be so happy that Tae died.

When in actuality, I miss 2nd brother very much.

[Choi Ji Mong, Wang So, Crown Prince Moo]

Rather than someone like me with such lowly in-laws

it would've been better if Tae had became Crown Prince.

I told you not to say such things.

I told you that you have the star of a king in the Heonwon constellation.

Really?

Yes.

But...

Well, Moo.

Well, what if...

you did not have a long life?

What would you do?

Who cares if it is not long?

It is more important who I spend my last days with.

Moo, I would like to become a king too.

Yes, and of course you will.

Your Highness Wang So has the star of a king as well.

Really, Ji Mong?

Then I will become king too?

Yeah! I'm going to become king!

You should refer to me as "Your Majesty."

Yes, Your Majesty. Forgive us, Your Majesty.

He is a king.

He is...

the king of our nation, Goryeo.

Are you going to leave him here in tatters like this?

Moo.

Forget everything.

Rest in peace.

Please get up.

All of this happened...

because of me.

I am sorry.

So...

Where are you going, So?

Get out of my way.

The new king would like me to let you know.

If Hae Soo is to leave the Damiwon or disappear

an announcement will be made to all of Goryeo that she poisoned the late king.

She won't be able to get far.

[10th Prince Eun's Residence]

[Wang Gyu - 10th Prince's Grandfather] You scoundrels!

We have caught Wang Gyu, but the 10th Prince is already gone.

[Wang Shik Ryeom]

We must catch him.

Go and find him. Now!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Let me go. Let me go, you scoundrels!

How could the king do this to me?

Please let me see the king!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Park Sool Hee will be exiled.

We will say that Wang Gyu plotted treason and even killed Park Sool Hee.

Good work.

Good job on what you did with Moo.

Also, the advice you gave me to use Hae Soo to get to So was good too.

I am relieved that you are on my side.

Without you on my side, Uncle, Wook would not work for me.

Shouldn't you kneel to the king?

Greetings to you, Your Majesty.

Long live the king.

Eun and his wife have escaped.

In order to make Wang Gyu's revolt real, you must catch Eun quickly.

We have to kill him.

Do not worry.

You do have a dog talented in catching royal family members.

What about my grandson?

Please let my Eun live!

I knew a day like this would come.

You were a perfect child ever since you were born.

I foresaw that you would bring me great glory.

Your Majesty.

[3rd Monarch - Jeongjong] Congratulations on becoming Queen Mother.

Take care of the other princes as soon as possible.

That is the only way to make the palace stable.

- Also-- - I will take care of the politics.

Goryeo is ours now.

You should live enjoying the fine and beautiful things life offers.

Yo...

Come on up.

Have some manners in front of the king.

Do not be so heartless.

I am alive thanks to him.

You... held back when you stabbed me.

In that last moment, you let consideration get in the way.

If you feel regretful about that moment, I can put you away for good now.

You!

Wang Gyu was trying to get the 10th Prince Eun on the throne.

He was put to death.

Go catch the prince.

If you do find him, you can kill him on the spot.

Was the late king not enough for you?

I cannot do that.

You can't?

You will have to do it.

That way, Baek Ah and Choi Ji Mong...

Even Hae Soo...

All of those who you consider to be your people...

will stay safe.

You're already a dog that goes after your siblings anyway.

I told you not to keep him close. Get rid of him!

It's very amusing to tame him, so why?

He thinks he can pity me?

He was being considerate of me?

What arrogance...

Wang Gyu and his family have been executed.

The king has ordered me to find Eun and his wife.

He wouldn't kill them, would he?

Listen to me carefully, Your Highness.

I have a bond with King Taejo from our days in the battleground

when we founded Goryeo.

We fought to the death, so I have been loyal up to now.

But this is not right.

Do not harm my daughter.

If my daughter gets caught up in a fight among the Wangs...

I, Park Soo Kyung, will not sit idly by.

I'm alright.

How about you?

Nothing has happened, right?

It is true that the late king died from mercury poisoning.

Since we don't know who was behind it, we can't trust anyone.

I'll be away from the palace for a while.

It worries me that you'll be alone.

Stay away from the king or the queen mother as much as possible,

and if anything happens, go straight to Choi Ji Mong.

Where are you going?

The king has ordered me to arrest some traitors.

Did he blackmail you with my life again?

Just leave the matter to me.

You and I are the only ones who attended to the king.

Whether it was getting the bath water or preparing the herbal medicine.

No one else touched it.

So how could there be mercury?

It wasn't me.

I'm telling the truth.

Did you think that I would suspect you?

You need to be careful too.

The 3rd Prince has always been a scary person.

The 10th Prince's family has been accused of treason.

His mother and relatives...

they have all been executed.

What?

What about the prince? What happened to him?

I'll be away from the palace for a while. It worries me that you'll be alone.

Where are you going?

The king has ordered me to arrest some traitors.

Then the person the 4th Prince needs to catch is...

Lady Hae? Lady?

Soo, it's me.

The new king won't be able to figure out we are hiding here.

His Highness says that we can trust you.

But don't get any other ideas.

You're dead if you do.

Stop it, already.

Anyway, don't worry too much, Soo.

We have a boat, so we'll be here until it leaves.

Where will you be going?

- We'll-- - That's enough.

You don't need to know that. Just make sure we do not get caught.

Don't tell anyone about us.

Yes, I'll make sure to be very careful.

But wouldn't it be better to get help from my brothers?

Yeah, like from Wook.

What about Baek Ah or Jung?

There's no way they wouldn't help me.

- Even So was there on my birthday-- - No!

Because...

the 4th Prince is currently looking for the two of you.

We can't tell anyone.

We don't know how things can leak out.

If we make one wrong move, it is all over.

All right, I got it.

By the way, Soo...

What happened to my mother and aunt?

I'm not sure.

I don't know much about what's going on outside the Damiwon.

I'm bothered by the fact that I couldn't bring them with me.

I hope they managed to get away.

I thought you were merely a gisaeng who wanted revenge for your parents.

You were a representative for Later Baekje.

You hid a lot from me.

I thought it may be used against you, Your Majesty.

Please allow the people of Later Baekje to access the southern territories. I thought it may be used against you, Your Majesty.

Please allow the people of Later Baekje to access the southern territories.

Allow them to farm the land for three years without paying taxes.

Please emancipate those who were taken forcefully as slaves.

Restore law-abiding citizens back to their status.

Allow them to farm the land.

You were someone who tried to kill the king.

Why would I trust you and make a deal?

My people are starving to death.

Revenge means nothing to me.

If you guarantee their survival

the people of Later Baekje will accept you as their king.

They will be loyal to you.

Yes.

No matter how much I think about it

I feel like I would be losing out.

I have a good offer.

I heard that the 4th Prince, that dog, is out to kill his brother.

Be quiet! You'll get yourself in trouble.

It doesn't make sense that the playful, carefree 10th Prince would plot treason.

The 4th Prince is acting like the king's dog.

It's probably all made up. You should know something.

Just eat up.

I found the boat. It leaves in five days.

- Where is it headed? - That's the thing...

There are four different boats leaving at the same time on the same day.

I don't know which one they will take.

You aren't really going to catch Eun and take him in, are you?

You do not trust me either, do you?

I do not trust our third brother.

A person who manipulates people and uses their weaknesses has become king.

The future looks bleak.

Find out if Eun has reached out to anyone.

Like Jung, for example.

Perhaps because Wook has a history with our 3rd brother

they say he has not made a move at all.

Who could have guessed he would have come back alive?

Woo Hee.

It has been a long time.

Yes, Baek Ah told me you had returned.

Hae Soo will be happy to see you.

I will probably see her soon.

I will be going back to the Gyobang.

Gyobang?

You didn't say that before.

How long can I depend on you for support?

I won't be a gisaeng. I'm just going to teach dance.

Don't worry too much.

It's very late. Where are you off to?

You are awfully interested in me.

I get the feeling that it is you who is behind all of this.

So I wondered if you were visiting him again.

What would make you think such a thing?

The late king had been addicted to mercury for at least two years.

The 9th Prince Won seemed to be the most likely suspect.

However, it was too detailed and well-planned.

It doesn't fit Won's personality.

But maybe if it were you...

It's also strange that the king is leaving you alone.

A man like that would have gotten rid of you already.

You got rid of the 10th Prince's family

and one of Songak's most powerful families.

Aside from a smart person like you, I have to wonder who else could do it.

You have always been suspicious of me.

Did you...

really cause our brother's death?

How about you?

Are you going to become the king's dog and kill Eun?

We are both struggling to survive.

That is the fate of a prince who does not become a king.

In order to protect, you must submit.

I don't know what made you change so much.

I... did not poison the late king.

Does that answer your question?

Why did you put mercury in the king's bath water?

I never did such a thing.

Would you say the same thing after being tortured?

If so...

I would say you told me to do it, Your Majesty.

I would say that you ordered me to do it because you wanted the throne.

I will say that even if I die.

You are quite something, aren't you?

I suppose you were always this way since you were young.

It is amusing.

I will not get rid of you.

You are the best bait I can use to control my brothers.

Then...

please tell me who really put mercury in the water.

You believe that I know who did it?

Even if I know who did it, I cannot breathe a word about it.

If you say that I committed regicide, that is the end for me.

So, I would like to know.

Who was it?

Your Majesty, His Highness the 8th Prince is here to see you.

How is it that he showed up right on time?

Pardon?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

I had a question to ask you, so it's a good thing you are here.

Hae Soo is dying of curiosity.

Who was it that put mercury in the late king's bath water?

I believe the late king died of an illness.

Is that not true?

Yes, that's true.

He passed away from an illness.

I heard that you witnessed what happened to the late king.

It must have been shocking.

He was like an older brother to me, as well.

The person who made him die so tragically...

who could it be?

Your Highness...

you are not connected to it, are you?

I did not raise my son to be a traitor.

You have let me down.

I had to commit treason in order to protect you and our family.

Is this because of Hae Soo?

I'm asking you if Hae Soo had anything to do with the decisions that you made.

Yes. I did consider her.

It is because of her.

Soo says...

I tried to have everything and that was wrong, but why?

I tried to protect my family and my heart.

What's so wrong with that?

Mother, you told me to live right and I lived my life that way.

So why am I still lonely?

Wook...

I have already started down this path.

I will live this way and achieve what I want.

I won't be foolish and lose what I want.

I have done nothing wrong.

Soo!

I heard the king called you in

so I thought something had happened to you.

It does not seem like he intends to kill me or kick me out.

He plans to use you as bait to manipulate me.

It's fine.

Even so, I prefer you being safe.

About what you said before...

what happened to the people you were looking for?

To tell you the truth...

I am looking for Eun.

The king wants to find him and kill him.

But I need to do whatever I can to help him escape.

Yes.

Don't worry. I will find him.

Ji Mong!

The 10th Prince's binary star has risen near the palace.

You should try looking again.

I've looked everywhere.

I went to the Damiwon and Eun was not there.

That can't be.

How much can I trust you at times like this?

Did you know that Moo would die in that way?

Did you know that my 3rd brother would become the king?

Can you imagine what it is like for me to know and not get involved?

It is the divine punishment for those who read the heavens.

However, even I was surprised by the 3rd Prince.

He was only born with the star of one who would commit treason.

Something has definitely changed.

Something has deviated.

What has changed to make the 3rd Prince become king?

I am curious.

Be careful of the 4th Prince.

The 4th Prince...

Be careful of Wang So.

Wook?

That is what Hae Soo said to me.

Be careful of the 4th Prince.

She said I should not try to stop him.

It's just as she said.

He's taking everything.

No matter what I do...

everything will become his.

Why is that?

What should I do?

Where is Court Lady Hae?

Sorry, I do not know.

You there.

Do you know where Court Lady Hae is?

Stop right there.

Why do you have such poor manners?

I apologize, Your Highness.

Sister-in-law.

It is you, right?

It is you.

We have to leave the palace to get on the boat.

Are you playing here? There are no other doors.

North, south, west, or east. There are no easy exits.

There are more guards now than when we entered.

After usurping the throne, Yo is afraid he may get hit someday.

I am ashamed that he is my brother.

I wish we had Ji Mong's flying contraption.

Or maybe a hole in the ground...

A cave? There is one.

There is a way out!

Soo!

I would like to say goodbye to my father.

Don't you think I could reach him through Choi Ji Mong?

That is dangerous.

The astronomer is also close to the 4th Prince.

I thought this earlier.

How come you don't trust the 4th Prince?

You have a special relationship.

I have my reasons.

If you're doing so because of us, then I am thankful.

Still, I think it's a bit wrong.

I know there are some bad rumors about the 4th Prince.

He wouldn't go around catching people for no reason.

Unless you experienced something bad yourself...

shouldn't you trust the person that you like?

Do not get so hung up on the future that you lose what you have now.

You are right.

You are right, my lady.

I was being foolish. I never had any first-hand experience.

I will visit the astronomer.

Astronomer?

Astronomer?

Why do you carry around a hairpin?

Just because.

You have to give it back to me.

By the looks of it, it's not new.

Does it belong to a girl you love?

I thought all you cared about was fighting.

I am curious about who she is.

She is someone who put her life on the line for me.

She put her whole body on the line in order to save me.

Hey! Back off, back off!

Get back! You're dead if you come any closer.

Get back, you scoundrels! Get back!

In the stillness of the day and wind.

Because I like the sunshine, I smile.

At first, it was when I saw her sing.

That was when I knew.

Someday, I wanted her to sing only for me.

I started to wish for that.

Are those feelings...

what it means to like someone?

I am certain of it.

I have been through it, so I know.

You have?

When my older sister was chosen to become the king's wife

all the girls in the powerful families gathered to play together.

Even back then, I was much more comfortable in my armor.

To the other children, I was like a different species.

I'd prefer being on the battleground.

Don't cry.

Don't you like this flower ring?

That's strange.

All pretty girls seem to like flower rings.

You will like it too, right?

If you truly like someone, you will never be confused about it.

Do not be worried about it and go for it.

I will cheer you on.

My first love came true.

Since I will be cheering you on

I know yours will come true, Your Highness.

Go get it!

Greetings to you, Your Majesty.

I am sorry to come so late.

Congratulations on becoming king.

I was going to call you in soon.

I had news regarding your marriage.

I will send you to Khitan.

What?

The late king had promised them Princess Kyung Hwa

and then married her off to So.

Therefore, I have agreed to send a royal who is just as high in status.

Congratulations on your marriage, Yeon Hwa.

Why is it that everyone in that seat threatens me with marriage?

Whether it be the person who conceived me or the person I grew up with.

You are all the same.

You must believe there is no better way to control a woman than marriage.

I am disappointed in you.

You're not still greedy to be a queen, are you?

Your brother betrayed me and you were on his side.

I cannot...

have a household like that as in-laws.

Also, I have someone else I want.

Without Soo...

I would not even have a future.

I am nothing without her.

It is so stuffy in here.

I've been running around this palace since I was a boy.

Is there nowhere I can go besides this one room?

At least you can go out.

It has been days for me.

Would you like to take a bath?

Hae Soo does not allow the court ladies in at night, so it will be all right.

What do you think?

Wow! That is amazing.

It looks like the real thing.

Well, I'll have to show you all my skills.

All right, start!

Yes! I won!

See that? I won again.

Put your arm out.

My hand hurts from hitting you too much.

Why does it hurt so much?

Oh yeah.

I was going to give this to you and I forgot.

You...

remembered to bring this in all that confusion?

It's your favorite thing.

Your slingshot.

What prince?

I would have wanted to open the largest novelty goods shop in Songak.

That was my dream.

You can do that.

We can go to Tamra and you should open a novelty goods shop, Your Highness.

I will teach martial arts.

Should we?

I did manage to bring this one thing.

Yes.

I'm sure Hae Soo will like it.

It's yours.

Yeon Hwa was asking what kind of girl doesn't even have an incense pouch.

Why are you embarrassing your husband?

Do you not like it?

That's strange.

They say all pretty girls like it.

That's strange.

All pretty girls seem to like flower rings.

I'm not saying that you're pretty.

Just that... lately...

you don't look so bad.

I have some eye issues.

I understand what you are saying.

Even flowers from a pumpkin...

are still flowers.

I want two sons and two daughters.

I won't have it any other way.

Will kissing make me pregnant?

It would have been nice to live like this from the beginning.

Let's head inside.

You'll freeze to death before the king catches us.

Wait! Am I with child right now?

Here.

My lady, there must have been a ghost.

I am certain that I cleaned up before sleeping.

Did someone come by?

I made them.

I thought I might decorate the Damiwon with them.

I see.

How did he make this?

Hello.

I will get the attendants ready to serve you.

I came to talk to you.

Yes.

Then this way, please.

Leave So.

I know what you did with Wook.

I know you haven't told So and now he's bewitched by you.

I cannot bear to see this indecent behavior anymore, so leave him first.

Then I won't cause a problem either.

Your goal in getting married is to leave the palace.

I will do that for you.

I can get you married into a family

that's on a similar level to that of a prince.

Marriage might be a goal for you, Your Highness, but not for me.

He is happy because of me.

He makes me feel valued and that is why I want to marry.

If he remains steadfast...

there is no reason for me to change.

I will not leave him first.

Now I know why I have always hated you.

For you, feelings and marriage...

are all just silly games.

They aren't life and death like they are for me.

Don't be so confident that you will not change.

No one says such things in the palace.

You will have many regrets.

I promise you I will make you regret this.

Grand General Park Soo Kyung and Astronomer Choi Ji Mong.

Those with military and religious power are sticking by 4th Prince Wang So.

You must get rid of the 4th Prince as soon as possible.

It hasn't been long since we planned Wang Gyu's revolt.

Also, So is a brother who shared the same womb as me.

Even when I attack him, the timing must be right.

Then you must separate Park Soo Kyung and Choi Ji Mong.

What is this?

I wish to make things a little easier for the two of you.

- What? - In return...

if my plan works out, cancel my marriage to Khitan.

I was told that you know where Eun is.

Where is he?

Damiwon Court Lady Hae Soo has been hiding Eun and his wife in Damiwon.

How do you know?

Did you see it yourself?

Eun has had a knack for folding things out of towels since he was little.

Puppies, birds...

He'd also use paper to make boats.

Damiwon was full of such little toys Eun made.

I'm positive.

If you follow this path out to the cave, Jung will be waiting outside.

He will help you get safely to the boat.

It's some dried meat.

Just in case.

Thank you...

very much.

Soo. I'll see you when I come back.

Yes, I'll be waiting for you.

By the way, what about my father?

I left a letter. I'm sure he will meet you on the way.

Let's go.

Run! There are royal guards everywhere outside.

- Jung. - I will stop them, so run!

You too!

We are here for the 10th Prince. Find him now!

Yes, sir!

Take the prince another way.

What?

They won't be able to kill me because of my father.

They are after you, Your Highness.

No, you can't.

Let's go together.

I will follow you soon.

I promise you.

I'm trusting you.

Listen to your wife and run, Your Highness.

I can't do it. I can't hide behind my wife in shame like this.

Your Highness!

What can I do?

I am her awesome person now.

I am all she has.

[Scarlet Heart:Ryeo]

Why are you lamenting over the deaths of some worthless servants?

I'm going to kill him.

The atrocity of brothers out for each other's blood,

was started to be stopped by my hands.

Is Jung after the throne?

You haven't forgotten me, right?

Hae Soo is still with him.

I told you that you cannot trust him when he said he would live as your dog.

I will have to become a dog that ends his life.

I will become the king of Goryeo.
