ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS,
AND ARE UNRELATED TO HISTORICAL FACTS
Hwa-jin!
What are you doing down there?
-Oh, no. Let me go bring someone. -No!
No one should know that I am here.
No one…
Hey!
Why did you go in there? You don't even have good memories of it.
Do I not need to bring someone?
What if you die like this?
Are you having nightmares again? Hey, wake up.
Hwa-jin.
Sure, think of it as you want.
This won't do. Let me go get someone.
Not again!
I had a terrible dream…
of dying as an incapable King.
I could not do anything but watch…
as I saw the world deteriorate.
And I just died. It was a terrifying dream.
Did I ask?
Please stay like this for a moment.
Just for a moment.
For one minute only,
I will be Jo Hwa-jin for you.
EPISODE 10: LIVING A NIGHTMARE
You finally became the Queen!
I just knew that this day would come!
I must tell His Majesty everything.
So I would not be controlled by my past anymore.
Lady Uibin.
I have something to tell His Majesty.
His Majesty went outside with Her Majesty,
and the King's father-in-law is outside too.
Oh-wol, I can help His Majesty
or destroy the Queen.
What should I do?
Your Majesty.
It's time to wash your face.
Good morning.
What happened?
I know, right?
I almost touched, I mean…
I almost died.
You were so darn heavy.
That was close.
The ledger was not there.
Did you save me?
All by yourself?
You said no one should know.
I mustered all of my power from the bottom of my soul.
I can do this! I used to lift 150kg!
Power doesn't come from muscles!
It's from determination and your soul!
Why on earth did you go into the well at night?
It was dark,
so I could not see the well and fell into it.
Do you have night blindness?
The well was hard to climb out of.
Did you sleep well?
Wait…
Wait for a moment.
Yes, you may come in.
If I knew you would be in the main building,
I should have prepared a wider bedding.
Father, please!
Father! No!
Father! No!
My apologies.
Please do not be.
Thanks to your care and generosity, I had a great stay here.
I can no longer impose on your kindness, so I will be returning to the palace.
Oh, my. What do you mean, impose?
Please do not say that.
I actually came to deliver you
a message from Her Royal Highness the Grand Queen Dowager.
Seeing how Her Royal Highness is calling for you daily,
she must really need you.
I suppose, since the palace would be in a mess without me.
I see.
It might be busy and difficult, but it is for the best.
So you do not have to worry,
and you just need to play your role as the Queen.
I may be lacking as a father,
but always remember that I am there for you.
Yes.
Please have a safe trip back, Your Majesty.
This may be a shameless request,
but please look after Her Majesty the Queen.
I will take better care of her,
so the Queen is not lonely anymore.
Oh, my.
I am so thankful and honored.
Shall we depart?
He acts like the nicest dad in the world,
but he's just a greedy man who thinks of his kid as a tool.
He made the guy he tried to kill marry his daughter.
Is that why he tried to kill Kim So-yong?
What's with the long face? Like you've lost your nation?
It is nothing.
If not a nation, then did you lose something else?
You did?
Of course not.
It is a joyous day, as you will be returning to the palace safely.
It may not look like it, but my face is one of happiness.
If you're happy, then that's fine.
Is the bloody revenge finally beginning?
But it kind of feels like I'm missing something important.
Like there's an important mission…
-He's so handsome. -He's so handsome.
Appointing concubines!
How could I forget something so important?
I got something urgent to do. Bye.
Hong Yeon, let's go. Hurry.
Why are you running?
-I'm sorry, Your Majesty. -Let's go.
Slow down!
Good grief…
My Queen!
Your Majesty.
Let us go.
-What about Chief Eunuch? -We detained him.
Were you unable to find it?
It disappeared into thin air.
Did the King's father-in-law find out and move it?
That is not the case.
His attitude did not change until I left.
The King's father-in-law is not good at hiding his emotions.
Is it him, then?
The masked man from the State Tribunal.
If it is with Kim Jwa-geun,
the ledger must have already been destroyed.
He would not know about the changed location.
It is a problematic item,
so the King's father-in-law cannot tell anybody that he lost it.
He must be distressed all by himself.
He will also be trying to track down the ledger.
He will take action. Have someone tail the King's father-in-law.
Yes.
The ledger seems to be a lost cause. We should give up on it.
Without the ledger, our plans will go to waste.
We cannot give up so easily.
Be polite, as if Her Majesty is here all the time.
Hey, hurry. Let's go.
Your Majesty!
Hi, Lady-in-waiting Choi!
Your Majesty, I have missed you.
Lady-in-waiting Choi.
Summon all of the women in Joseon.
And bring in every single woman of the Han Family.
Now, I will begin the appointment of concubines.
I will investigate, using the appointment as an excuse.
Appointing concubines is the way to go.
Right!
I must say hello to Her Royal Highness the Grand Queen Dowager.
You can look forward to witnessing
the perfect Queen, with Jang Bong-hwan's soul
and Kim So-yong's memories,
which I will be role-playing.
Your Royal Highness, how have you been?
I wonder what has changed.
You seem different somehow.
After visiting my family, I regained my initial mindset.
That is a relief!
I am sorry I have been troubling you,
and I am truly grateful
for your utmost generosity and understanding,
Your Royal Highness.
In order to make up for my shortcomings,
from now on,
I will do my best to fulfill my duties as the Queen.
Then will you be immediately starting with urgent matters?
I know.
I came back as soon as I got better
to carry out that important task.
That is my Queen!
I was only gone for two days,
but I was so concerned about that matter.
How could you think of the same thing as I did?
-Then… -Right…
-Now… -We…
-I will… -Yes!
This isn't what I had in mind.
Your Majesty, please teach us well.
I'm supposed to be irreplaceable, but I'm ordered to reveal my technique.
I'm not good enough to be an educator, so…
What? Move!
Darn it.
You can come in freely,
but you cannot leave freely.
Lady Uibin.
His Majesty has returned to the palace.
Really?
Would you like to go to Seonjeongjeon Hall now?
No, I will go to the detached palace.
The heat is too low. The ingredients will get mushed.
The sparks are flying out!
I think I saw sparks in your eyes too.
That is not true.
My eyes are simply bright with the will to learn.
So when do we learn the recipes…
Come on, you know the rules of the kitchen.
You only peel onions in the first month of working at a Chinese restaurant.
Just turn the heat up.
But I have been in the royal kitchen for 30 years,
and I have been the royal cook for 12 years.
How unnecessarily detailed.
Why don't you count the days too?
That's not the right attitude for learning.
I'm not doing this.
Your Majesty!
Is this how I do it?
Like this.
-Like this. -Hey.
Open it.
Move.
Did you just peep?
This is industrial espionage!
I was just checking the heat.
You don't need to think. I do the thinking.
Stop stepping out of line!
If rice soup is comfort food for the commoners,
then the aristocrats' comfort food is ox bone soup.
And I add a hint of consommé, a French-style beef soup.
Remove the smell of fat with egg whites.
Egg whites.
How bizarre.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Will these be good enough?
Good.
By the way, what are you cooking?
It's a food that touches the soul.
The soul?
All right. Now for the finishing touch…
Are they waiting outside?
Yes, Your Majesty.
If the foam dies, you will die too.
Keep that in mind,
and pay attention to stability and speed.
Now, go!
-Yes, Your Majesty. -Yes, Your Majesty.
Let us go.
Familiar tastes are powerful.
Your Majesty!
Dahm-hyang!
I was super scared that I might not see you again.
I am a bazillion times thankful.
I made you worried, dear Dahm-hyang.
I should be in trouble for that.
I'm sorry.
What…
Am I seeing things?
Is rice inside this?
Well…
That is how it seems to me as well.
Did she serve rice soup as a royal meal?
Rice and soup must be served separately in a royal meal.
How crass of her to mix rice into the soup!
Shall I send it back?
Yes--
But…
the Queen tried her best to make it.
So let me taste this at least.
Yes.
All this time, I have been working
in the royal kitchen with pride,
counting every day since I started working here.
However,
I have fallen to tending the fire like a maid overnight.
This is all because of Her Majesty the Queen!
It is not because I am bad at it!
It is because Her Majesty is strangely so good at it!
Darn it!
-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
-Darn it! Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
You too?
You too?
-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
Darn it, this is just ridiculous!
She's basically a kid compared to me!
Hey, you gosh darn flipping brat!
Do you think I look like someone to pick on?
Why should I make fire…
Darn it.
That makes me feel better.
When did you…
I am not that mad at her.
I must have gone crazy
after being pushed around so much by Her Majesty.
I mean, I am looking into the furnace every day…
What are you doing?
That is not what I meant. I…
-Are you… -Shoo!
-What did I even… -Shoo! Go!
All right.
Excuse me.
I cannot talk behind Her Majesty's back,
because it will make me no different from him.
But I need to relieve this stress too…
I really wanted to stop doing this…
Why is he in there?
This must not be!
This must not be!
This simply must not be!
Your Royal Highness, Her Majesty the Queen is here.
Let her in.
I'm doomed.
Comfort food only works when there's a soul to comfort.
Well, Your Royal Highness…
My skills must have gotten rusty
while I was away from the royal kitchen.
It is a familiar, yet unfamiliar taste.
It is an unfamiliar, yet familiar taste.
Your cooking skills are terrifying.
It reminded me of memories I have been forgetting.
There you go.
Mother…
Your Royal Highness.
You have a grain of rice here…
How dare you!
But I heard you are keeping these skills to yourself.
Is the royal cook not good enough for you to teach?
Well,
he is quite an unpleasant geezer.
Then I will have the royal cook removed.
There was the arsenic incident as well.
Arsenic?
Did you not know?
You were in a living corpse state
because you ate poison in the royal kitchen.
Poison?
If that's the case, how could I recover so fast?
The royal cook may be a geezer,
but if you abruptly remove him from his position…
His position?
I am saying I will remove his head.
Just whose hands did the ledger fall into?
More than that,
why it was taken is more important.
Will this be dangerous to us?
Or beneficial to us?
Why should it matter to me whether he is removed
from his position or his head?
Seeing how she's telling me to teach my recipes,
the deposition wasn't just an empty threat.
I'm not in a position to worry about the geezer.
My own life is at stake.
Look, there's Cheoljong!
Your Majesty, it is Her Majesty the Queen.
What are you doing?
I heard this is how a royal lady walks.
Because I am the perfect Queen.
Says who?
Lady-in-waiting Choi said so. Is it not?
No, I mean,
who is the perfect Queen?
As you can see, I am.
You are scaring me.
Just do as you usually do.
By the way, what type of women do you like?
Sexy? Cute? Pure?
What are you talking about…
Her Royal Highness the Grand Queen Dowager ordered me
to appoint a few concubines.
Since they're concubines, I wanted to consider your preferences too.
Concubines.
Concubines…
Look at him.
Is he going to show his true self like this?
That is a good idea.
I am sorry. I was so happy that I…
I…
I want to make sure of one thing.
Just because you're the King,
don't get any antiquated ideas thinking of them as your women.
Because the concubines don't belong to you.
That is actually quite good.
-Which means… -They're mine.
-What? -They belong to me.
So don't go near the detached palace of the concubines.
You only need Uibin, don't you?
Right.
But there is one condition.
-Let me… -What? Why?
It is all right.
I choose which families they come from.
What?
No!
I care about their looks more than their backgrounds.
If so, I must notify Her Royal Highness the Grand Queen Dowager
that I do not need any concubines to be appointed…
Fine.
But we're doing "no touch" to each other's areas.
I'll oversee their looks. You'll oversee their backgrounds.
My Queen, you truly are my anti-fan.
I was worried, but I found a way.
Don't smile.
Smiling is not allowed.
You're not allowed to hold my hand like earlier.
You're not allowed to lie next to me.
-Am I not allowed to do anything? -Yes, you're allowed nothing.
I don’t allow you!
I'm busy but I wasted too much time.
Let's go.
That is my Queen.
Would you like to go to His Majesty?
I will go back to the detached palace.
Is this what you are looking for?
-A court lady sold this to you? -Yes.
She looked young,
and she was wearing a court lady's uniform.
Do you remember her face?
That would depend on the price…
I will return with a painter.
The clearer your memory of the court lady is,
the higher the reward becomes.
Welcome…
GENERAL STORE WENT TO THE RESTROOM
They are fabricated.
Does that mean these identities are made up?
They were not made from scratch.
They revived the registrations of the dead or missing ones.
It must have cost a lot
to make them so neat like this.
Thank you.
They did that much
to become low-rank warriors?
Your Majesty,
There is something I must give you without anyone seeing.
I will wait where we always meet.
Lady Uibin.
Prince Yeongpyeong went outside the palace.
Then you go deliver it to His Majesty, Lady-in-waiting Ko.
Yes.
YOUR MAJESTY, THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST GIVE YOU WITHOUT ANYONE SEEING…
There is something she must give him?
If she could not give it because he was with the Queen,
then it is not an ordinary item.
Is there a royal court assembly in 15 minutes?
Yes.
Have a break here before you go.
Yes, Your Royal Highness.
Lady Uibin sent you a letter.
You must have all been busy while I was gone.
Thanks to you, I have nothing to do.
-You flatter us, Your Majesty! -You flatter us, Your Majesty!
And for all of you,
I wish to hold a banquet on Dano.
There are disasters and dissent amok.
If we hold a banquet,
the subjects will think that the government is only interested
in holding a grandiose event, not in helping the people.
So that would not be a kingly decision.
But King Yeongjo once held a banquet to celebrate his recovery
after he was ill for a few months.
The Queen also lacked energy from overworking herself,
fell into a living corpse state, and recovered.
Is that not something to celebrate?
The reason for Her Majesty's living corpse state
is still under investigation,
so we cannot conclude its cause.
Seeing how she completely recovered after resting for two days,
she just needed rest.
-But… -Since Her Majesty
has overcome a serious illness and recovered,
it is right to hold a small banquet
and let it be known to others.
Yes.
That is my duty as her husband and the King.
Your Majesty, that must not be done.
A serious incident like an assassination attempt on Her Majesty
cannot be abruptly concluded through a banquet.
Minister of War,
are you not happy that the Queen recovered?
Did you actually want her to be harmed by someone?
No, of course not.
Rather than wishing for her recovery,
do you only care about using the Queen's condition politically?
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
If so, we the officials will accept your will with gratitude.
Then you can look forward to it.
You seem determined today. Perhaps it is because you had rest.
INJEONGJEON HALL
"Fight fire with fire."
I will defeat the intruders with intruders.
Let us make a new power to fight against the Ansong Kim family.
-"Make"? -We will utilize
the concubine appointment by the Queen.
Royal cook, please check this.
Yes, how does it taste?
Let me see…
Bring some more seasonings.
This will not do.
That is too runny. Again.
Jeez, why are you trying so hard?
Soon, food made with cow's milk will become popular.
We cannot make the calves starve.
I am sure we can create a similar flavor
with something that is not cow's milk.
Are you trying to do molecular gastronomy in Joseon?
You're working unusually hard today.
Royal cook.
A face full of sorrow.
I'm sure he has a big family to provide for.
What is it, Your Majesty?
Turn up the heat here.
Oh, my.
He must be carrying the burdens
of a breadwinner on his tiny shoulders.
Come to think of it, I don't even know your name.
What's your name?
It is Man-bok.
Who's in your family?
You must have about 15 in your family to provide for.
I am alone and single.
It has been a while since I have been enjoying life alone.
Still, don't you have any family to provide for?
Come on, think.
I do give fish heads to stray cats here and there, but…
Right. See?
Without you, Man-bok, those stray cats would starve.
For those cats, not for you,
I'll teach you the recipes.
Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!
Stop it. That's gross.
Well…
Give me some paper.
Hong Yeon.
Have the food palanquin bearers send this to the royal physician.
Yes.
Recommend some herbs that are good for the skin and smell good.
If you don't do this right, I'll change your job.
Change my job…
There is more on the back.
I need more eunuchs to help me with appointing concubines.
Why is she so desperate to make me a eunuch?
Your Majesty, please slow down. You might get hurt.
Where are the books about banquets?
I will go and look for them.
Find Record of Banquets of King Yeongjo in the Year of the Blue Mouse.
Yes.
I went to Seonjeongjeon Hall, but I heard you came here.
What made you make such a valuable visit here?
I felt that I was being too distant from you until now.
So I wished to have a conversation with you.
Please drink.
This tea tastes even more unique
since it was brewed by you.
Whenever I see you, I am reminded of the late King.
So it was difficult for me to get closer to you.
I am sorry I failed to notice your feelings.
I thought I knew a lot about the late King.
Perhaps the late King…
my son
was an even greater king than I thought he was.
He tried so hard to reinforce the king's authority
by battling against the Kim family…
I am deeply regretful
that I did not use my family's power
to support his will a bit more.
Please do not blame yourself.
I am sure the late King would not want that either.
Do you think I can make up
for the mistakes I made for the late king through you?
I am not that great compared to the late King.
Is that so?
If you have the same will as the late King had,
please reach out to me.
I will not make the same mistake again.
I will remember that.
I am glad that I got to know you a bit today.
I am the one who is honored.
Please get some rest now.
YOUR MAJESTY, THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST GIVE YOU…
His Majesty the King is here!
I am sorry.
Did I make you wait for a long time?
Step outside for a moment.
I came back because I thought you were not coming.
I read the letter late.
So you were too busy to read the letter.
Actually, the Queen Dowager came and spoke with me.
What did you talk about?
It was just a chat.
It seems you are getting
more secrets that I must not know.
Then what did you talk about with Her Majesty the Queen?
In front of the lake today, I mean.
Did you see that?
Should I not have seen it?
Not really.
It was about appointing concubines.
Concubines…
I am sure you said no.
We need to distract the Kim family.
If we give them other new powers to fight over,
their attempt to control the king's authority will weaken.
So…
did you say yes?
-I did. -This is part of Her Majesty's scheme.
-Uibin. -Why are you calling me Uibin?
Why do you no longer call me by my name?
You said before
that I was the one who made you happy and sad.
But now…
do you have someone else who determines your mood?
-Hwa-jin. -Tell me how you truly feel.
Did you begin…
to love the Queen?
Sauces and dressings are the basics of Western cuisine.
Dressings are especially the highlight.
Try it.
If I use this, will I be able to make beans taste like cow's milk?
But why are you alone?
Pardon?
I have only been working, so I missed my time to get married.
What about your parents and siblings?
All the Catholics were killed in the Year of the Golden Pig
so I became alone.
Why did they believe in such a thing?
So I do not believe in anything.
Persecution of Catholics in the Year of the Golden Pig.
You must be lonely.
Well, I am not the only one who is like that.
It is a bit sad to be alone on holidays,
but there is one good thing.
They all died on the same day,
so I only need to hold one memorial ritual a year.
Come on! What's with all of you?
How did you know that a man's salty tears are my weakness?
-Salty tears? -The food gets salty.
It's bad when a cook is sad because the food gets salty.
Yes, I know.
So I shake off all of my emotions,
including happiness and sadness, before I enter the royal kitchen.
But you lose your temper all the time.
That is because you come in here and drive me crazy all the time.
You should blame yourself for lack of practice, not others.
See?
"See?"
Did you just talk down to me?
See, please?
I hate that even more.
I should've just let you beheaded!
Jeez, I'm just too nice.
It has not been long since I had my royal meal.
I am not sure either…
Don't eat it. Give it to your skin.
And this is how I become irreplaceable.
K-Food, and now K-Beauty.
This is a perfect day to "dry out" some things.
Your Majesty.
I did not see you yesterday.
Did you suffer from a hangover?
I am sorry I was absent.
I have something important to ask.
Do you remember what happened
before you fell into a living corpse state?
Was there anything suspicious or anyone acting suspiciously?
Acting suspiciously?
Who are you referring to?
I mean anyone.
Actually, I think I passed out
because of the other world.
By "other world," do you mean the other power?
No, I mean…
Anyway, it was a natural phenomenon.
This may come as a shock, but I must tell you.
I suspect that the King is involved in this.
According to the investigation,
the one who tried to kill you near Oktajeong
received the order from the King.
I understand you are shocked.
How did you figure that out?
Only I know about it.
Were you aware of this?
You see…
It's pretty complicated, so we put it behind us, you know.
And you do it even after you were aware of that fact?
Will your love for the King not change, no matter what he does?
What? Love?
Why are you saying something so gross?
I shouldn't be enemies with him to have a good life here.
I'm with him as there's no other choice!
And yet, how could…
I'm already having an identity crisis. Love? That's ridiculous!
How's the appointment of concubines going?
Lady-in-waiting Choi!
Ladies! I'm here…
Where are the concubine candidates?
There they are.
What is this?
I waited the entire day for this moment.
And what is this?
I do not think I can stop using the magic mirror.
She is going that far for the family.
What is this called, again?
She said it is called a beauty film.
When I looked for a replacement, she presented a new skill.
Your Royal Highness,
this is Commander of State Tribunal, Kim Byung-in.
At this hour?
Come in!
I did tell my brother to tell you to come and salute me,
but is it not too late today?
I did not hear that message.
I dared to come to see you
because I have something to tell you without my father knowing.
I am sure my father said
that the King is not like the late King.
But he is wrong.
Do not follow me.
It is not much, but here…
It is red ginseng.
Thank you.
By the way, is everything all right?
What do you mean?
You need to say clearly what you are trying to say.
What I am trying to say?
I am just asking how you are doing in general.
By the way,
is Byung-in still in the palace?
Hello, King's father-in-law.
I am home.
You are late.
I did not get to spend time
with people in the State Tribunal after my appointment,
so I had a drink with them.
Well done.
It is late. Go inside and rest.
Yes. Please enjoy your conversation.
All right. Get some rest.
-You. -Yes?
You look anxious.
You get anxious if you do something beyond your capability.
What do you mean?
Why do you not know that doing dangerous things
can put both you and the Queen in danger?
If I am anxious,
it is because I failed to catch the brat who harmed Her Majesty.
-Is that so? -Oh, my.
It is getting late. You must be tired, My Lord.
My purpose was to deliver the gift,
so I must get going now.
He must have lost the ledger.
If it was not him then did Byung-in do it all by himself?
If that is not the case either…
Could it be?
I'm thankful that it's not me.
It took a long time to find a corpse with a similar build.
What kind of corpse is it?
It drowned, so it was in the water for a long time,
therefore it is impossible to recognize its face.
Tell me how you truly feel.
Did you begin…
to love the Queen?
I am someone
who must not love the Queen.
It is not that you do not love her,
but you cannot love her.
Lady Uibin, this is Prince Yeongpyeong.
Yes, please come in.
I am sorry to come at this late hour.
But it is the news you waited for.
Did you find Oh-wol?
Is this the item you gave her?
Yes, I am sure.
They said the one who sold it
was a court lady.
So Oh-wol is alive.
Thank goodness.
Why are they telling me to fetch water at this hour?
They should've told me beforehand.
Did it get stuck on something?
What's that?
I summoned a painter to find out what the court lady looked like.
It will be certain when we see it.
Actually, I am trying to help His Majesty…
Lady Uibin!
In the well…
-In the well? -A corpse was found in the well,
and it seems to be Oh-wol,
who was your court lady.
Oh-wol?
It will be a great shock.
-I will… -No.
I must see her with my own eyes.
She was in the water for a long time.
Goodness, it must have been so suffocating and painful.
Please stop.
This is just the beginning.
Lady Uibin.
I would like to be alone.
Someone who makes me happy…
and sad as well.
Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness the Grand Queen Dowager is here!
What brings you here?
What were you reading?
I was just reading the appeals I fell behind in reading.
I came here as seeing you more determined than ever
made me curious about your time at the Queen's family home.
The visit gave me time
to forget about my worries regarding politics.
That is a relief.
I…
just want you to be happy.
Thank you for your grace.
You had been through such hard times.
Did you forget already?
Perhaps fate is hereditary as well.
If you know how to be grateful for the life you have,
then you and your beloved ones would be safe as well.
So why do you have to act out?
Be a good boy, My King.
Yes, Your Royal Highness.
Be a good boy, little one.
Some people are living in nightmares.

-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
Please come in.
-Please come in, Your Majesty. -Hurry, Your Majesty.
And when they think they're about to have sweet dreams
after overcoming nightmares…
Your Majesty.
Do it for me too.
You too? Okay.
Your Majesty.
The nightmare takes a different form
and penetrates our lives.
Your Majesty.
My dear concubine, did you lose your voice from calling me?
Why are you here again?
My dear queen.
I will
not do "no touch" today.

I'm not sure if these are my feelings or my body's feelings…
Chief Presidential Secretary Han?
They were all rotten!
We will get the ingredients, no matter what.
His Majesty will try to look like a powerful King on Dano.
Fire!
There are always kids who are obsessed with sports competitions.
Why is she giving me a look?
Then I will teach you who the master of this palace is.
I cannot forgive you.
