Since the Grand Prince

Ending the Grand Prince's regency
was no simple matter.

Likewise, once Your Majesty
takes up the regency,

it will not be easily undone.

Even if the Grand Prince wakes up.
381
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:44,877

Do you understand?
738
00:57:07,215 --> 00:57:09,468
Yes, Mother.
739
00:57:33,617 --> 00:57:34,910
[Lord INPYEONG] Your Royal Highness.
740
00:57:35,577 --> 00:57:37,329
This is a misunderstanding.
741
00:57:37,412 --> 00:57:39,206
Why would I ever…
742
00:57:39,289 --> 00:57:40,290
Shut…
743
00:57:43,293 --> 00:57:44,294
that mouth of yours.
744
00:57:47,422 --> 00:57:49,508
History will remember you as a criminal,
745
00:57:50,258 --> 00:57:51,259
and the Crown
746
00:57:52,761 --> 00:57:54,054
will forget you ever existed.
747
00:57:56,056 --> 00:57:59,267
I am His Majesty's grandfather
and the Queen Mother's father.
748
00:57:59,935 --> 00:58:01,144
You cannot treat me like--
749
00:58:01,228 --> 00:58:02,270
[I-AN] Did I not ask you…
750
00:58:04,564 --> 00:58:06,274
to shut that mouth of yours?
751
00:58:11,947 --> 00:58:13,699
The Queen Mother was the one
752
00:58:14,991 --> 00:58:16,326
who told me about your crimes.
753
00:58:19,955 --> 00:58:20,956
Thus…
754
00:58:23,083 --> 00:58:24,543
you should mind your conduct.
755
00:58:28,755 --> 00:58:30,340
The Queen Mother's welfare…
756
00:58:32,884 --> 00:58:34,803
will depend on how deeply…
757
00:58:38,181 --> 00:58:39,349
you repent.

00:59:00,579 --> 00:59:02,080
You did well, Your Royal Highness.
759
00:59:05,584 --> 00:59:06,835
[sighs]
760
00:59:06,918 --> 00:59:08,670
The abdication has been announced.
761
00:59:09,546 --> 00:59:12,048
Public sentiment is strong,
and the foreign media is all over it,
762
00:59:12,132 --> 00:59:13,258
calling it long overdue.
763
00:59:13,842 --> 00:59:16,386
-Let's go to the palace.
-Yes, Your Royal Highness.
764
00:59:16,470 --> 00:59:17,971
[cabinet member] Abolition?
765
00:59:18,054 --> 00:59:21,183
How dare anyone suggest
to abolish the monarchy?
766
00:59:21,266 --> 00:59:25,645
Why do we spend all that tax money
preserving the Crown?
767
00:59:25,729 --> 00:59:28,815
Because the investment generates
enough added value to justify the cost.
768
00:59:28,899 --> 00:59:32,152
If the economic and diplomatic benefits
of the Crown vanish,
769
00:59:32,235 --> 00:59:35,238
who exactly will be held accountable?
770
00:59:35,322 --> 00:59:37,908
The people will be up in arms about it.
771
00:59:37,991 --> 00:59:39,826
I'm sure such news will have them
772
00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:41,453
demanding a new king immediately.
773
00:59:41,536 --> 00:59:44,539
[chattering]
774
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:47,626
That is exactly why… [sighs]
775
00:59:51,671 --> 00:59:53,340
…we must make him listen.
776
00:59:56,384 --> 00:59:57,511
[sighs]
777
01:00:17,906 --> 01:00:19,324
[sighs]
778
01:00:23,912 --> 01:00:24,955
[smacks lips]
779
01:00:26,164 --> 01:00:27,874
You must be busy with the coronation.
[sighs]
780
01:00:28,959 --> 01:00:30,293
The Grand Prince told me.
781
01:00:38,468 --> 01:00:39,970
That you had been aware
782
01:00:42,013 --> 01:00:43,306
of what Lord INPYEONG did.
783
01:00:46,518 --> 01:00:48,103
[sighs]
784
01:00:50,021 --> 01:00:51,106
Then what about you?
785
01:00:52,148 --> 01:00:53,567
Did you know?
786
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,777
That he's looking to abolish the monarchy.
787
01:01:00,031 --> 01:01:01,032
A king
788
01:01:02,117 --> 01:01:04,327
doesn't get to do whatever he wants.
789
01:01:05,036 --> 01:01:06,830
My job is to make sure he doesn't.
790
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:08,331
What if it is a necessary evil?
791
01:01:08,415 --> 01:01:09,624
What?
792
01:01:09,708 --> 01:01:12,794
What if, in the 21st century,
our Crown itself turns out to be
793
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:15,171
the harmful entity?
794
01:01:17,424 --> 01:01:18,550
What then?
795
01:01:21,177 --> 01:01:22,596
[sighs]
796
01:01:25,849 --> 01:01:26,933
I already told you.
797
01:01:28,059 --> 01:01:30,228
That is for the nation to decide.
798
01:01:39,237 --> 01:01:40,238
It appears…
799
01:01:46,620 --> 01:01:48,121
we may end up as enemies.
800
01:01:59,549 --> 01:02:01,051

[eunuch] All rise

[royal family member] Your Majesty.
Abolition of the monarchy?
811
01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:35,246
[reporter] Is it true there are talks
of abolishing the monarchy?
812
01:04:35,330 --> 01:04:37,082
[Huiju] You're saying the Cabinet
and Royal Relatives
813
01:04:37,165 --> 01:04:38,625
will oppose it, no question?
814
01:04:38,708 --> 01:04:42,128
[Hyeon] Most of the establishment
is connected to the Crown.
815
01:04:42,212 --> 01:04:43,797
[Jeongwoo] Voice your objection there.
816
01:04:45,256 --> 01:04:46,549
Simply hint that…
817
01:04:46,633 --> 01:04:48,551
…is His Majesty's own pursuit.
818
01:04:48,635 --> 01:04:49,719
What summons?
819
01:04:49,803 --> 01:04:51,554
[Dayeong] It's a slush fund probe.
820
01:04:51,638 --> 01:04:55,183
And the Cabinet implored me
to fulfill my duties as the King.
821
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:57,227
[Jeongwoo] We were simply speaking
on behalf of the public.

Go and protect His Majesty.
823
01:04:59,562 --> 01:05:00,730
[Jeongwoo] It's your fault.
