I didn't think you'd be able to do much,
but you've achieved quite a lot.
Yi Do.
Are you Jeong Gi-jun?
It's been a while, Yi Do.
You were Jeong Gi-jun?
Jeong Do-jeon's kin...
was living as a butcher in Banchon?
Can you even fathom how I felt?
Did you see my alphabet?
Yes, I did.
The alphabet was far beyond
anything I've ever seen.
That's why I, Jeong Gi-jun,
will risk my life to stop that alphabet from getting distributed.
Is that so?
Sounds great. This is great.
All right, then.
Let us start talking.
Stop.
I am the one you should be talking with.
This place...
is Secret Roots' lair.
Garion.
You were a part of Secret Roots.
Darn it.
I didn't know who he was, and I let him go myself.
Chae-yun, come here. You need to see this.
It's another way out.
Why did you...
come up with such an absurd idea to make the alphabet?
It's for the same cause that your uncle, Lord Sambong, holds.
Lord Sambong...
and your alphabet are on the same page?
Sambong's ideology wasn't just after establishing
the chancellor system.
Sambong spoke of opening up the channel of communication.
Of course.
Sambong said this.
"Under the rule of Yao and Shun, there were no censors.
However, everyone could expostulate with the politicians, including officials,
tradesmen, craftsman, and even the lowest class.
But after censors were established,
communication became impossible,
and the people
had no way to expostulate with the politicians.
Then, how can we say
that this age is better than the time under the rule of Yao and Shun?"
So?
So I want to use my alphabet
to open up a way of the alphabet, rather than the channel of communication.
Alphabet?
A way of the alphabet?
It's not a communication through censors.
I wish to communicate with people directly through the alphabet.
Why do you say
that this goes against the ideology of Neo-Confucianism?
You thought of making new alphabet
and a new way of communication from Sambong's ideology?
That's very silly,
but I commend you for that.
However,
that is not the reason why I am against the new alphabet.
Then what is it?
What do you think it is?
Is it because it goes against the Chinese world order?
Lord Sambong even tried to conquer Liaodong.
I am his descendant. Do you think I care about the Chinese world order?
Submitting and copying
Chinese culture is just a realistic way of survival for Joseon.
Then,
just as how you let Seo-yong the slave take the state examination,
is it because it will destroy the status order?
After all,
that's because you scholar-officials do not want to lose your vested rights.
It's not our vested rights!
It's order, not vested rights.
It's harmony, not vested rights.
It's balance, not vested rights.
Don't say it so easily that we have vested rights.
Why?
We scholar-officials are different from the nobility of Goryeo.
No.
We're different from any ruling class that has existed in this land.
Yi Do.
Why are you a king?
What's the reason that you're a king?
It's because you're Yi Seong-gye's grandson
and Yi Bang-won's son.
And that was also the case with the nobility of Goryeo.
They were the nobility
because their fathers were noble
and because their grandfathers were noble.
They were just born as the nobility.
However,
scholar-officials can't become one just because their fathers were one.
You must cultivate your heart, study,
and have your competence proven
through the state examination to become a scholar-official.
A scholar-official isn't born.
A scholar-official isn't just a social status.
It's a title given to those who are worthy, cultivated, and competent.
Do not denounce it...
saying that we are only after vested rights.
Yes, I will give you that.
I also agree Joseon was not established thanks to the Yi family,
but that it was new scholar-officials and scholars of Neo-Confucianism
who established the country by enthroning one of the Yi's.
However, you scholar-officials will one day go corrupt.
Scholar-officials will get as much desire as their competence,
and they will get vested rights.
Then they will try to transfer the rights through their family.
Why? Because we're all humans.
I understand.
I can even bet on this.
In the future,
scholar-officials will bring back the filthy protected appointment system
which you have destroyed with your own hands from Goryeo times,
and will give off an awful smell like decayed stagnant water.
Then who can keep their desires in check
so that scholar-officials do not go corrupt?
There is a limit to what a king can do because he must always be
kept in check.
Therefore,
I wish to give that position to the people.
The people will have the strength to divide the power,
bringing a new balance, a new order, and a new harmony.
And my alphabet will become a humble beginning...
for the new world.
The desires of scholar-officials?
Then,
what about the desires of people?
The desires of people?
Damn those jerks.
They had an underground passage under Banchon?
We had no idea.
Did you just say, the desires of people?
Yes.
The desires of people.
The great and frightening desires of the mass.
What will you do with them?
Everyone has to stand against them when they reach the tip of power.
The huge people.
The giant wave of people
who are like the sea.
To be exact,
it's the huge desires of the people.
It's because...
they are up against the huge nature called the sea.
And I have met one too.
It's the people.
Yes.
I have met them too.
The huge desires of the people.
Once you come across that,
you become horror-struck. Why?
Because not all of those desires can come true.
Why? Because if all of their desires do come true,
the world will become hell.
The man who came across that was Emperor Qin Shi-huang.
He decided to rule the world with a strict law.
But that wasn't enough.
That's why we needed Confucius and Mencius.
That's why Zhu Xi came out.
They had to rule over that frightening and huge desires of people.
The reason why Rome decided to make Christianity as their state religion
and why the Three Kingdoms and Goryeo used Buddhism as their main philosophy
was because of people's desires.
Buddhism, Confucianism,
and Christianity of the West all just have different names.
They are nothing but a system to control the people's desires.
But your alphabet...
is attempting to demolish the system that controls people's desires.
You're opening up the gates of hell.
Why do you say that it will only become hell?
They will begin to read and learn the Conduct of The Three Bonds,
and the five cardinal principles.
They will learn their duties as men,
and we can reach further into the ideal world in Confucianism.
Do you call that hell?
When people learn the alphabet, they will begin to read and write.
And as you know, it's quite enjoyable.
Once they begin to enjoy that,
they will begin to get wisdom.
And anyone who has wisdom will want to use that.
What will they use that for?
For their desires.
So why is that hell?
Don't you get it?
Their desires will turn to politics in the end.
They will want to get involved in the state policies.
Furthermore, they will try to elect their ruler with their own hands.
They will elect...
their own ruler?
Is this what you call a hell?
Yi Do!
How can there be
such an irresponsible system in the entire world?
Politics is all about responsibility.
The nature of politics has never changed ever since the world began.
Politics is all about responsibility.
So what if the people elect their own ruler?
Then if the ruler makes a mistake,
who will take the responsibility?
Do we kill all the people who elected that ruler?
Why do you have...
no trust towards the people?
What happened to you, Jeong Gi-jun?
Because I lived as one of them.
They have no hope.
Those who move the history forward
are not those ignorant and unpredictable people,
but a few people who can take the responsibility.
I feel very bad for you...
if you truly think that way.
You feel bad for me?
I pity you even more.
Why?
Because I know how you really feel.
Should I tell you how you really feel?
Did you say that you want to divide the power
with the people?
No.
You actually want...
to divide the responsibility.
Hey.
Isn't this Ms. Dodam's place?
They're connected like this.
You should make a report,
then go catch that jerk, Garion.
Goodness, you two are here.
Garion just came in, then left again.
Where? Where did he go?
It's a secret.
You idiot. Do you want to die?
Goodness, my lord. I'll tell you.
Jeongryun Rock. He went to Jeongryun Rock.
He went with His Majesty, Commandant Mu-hyul, and Court Maid So-i.
They're getting a drink or something.
I'll go to Jeongryun Rock. Go back to the palace and send troops.
Okay.
You don't want to divide your power.
You just want to divide your responsibility, Yi Do.
You want to make sure that no one dies a wrongful death
from not knowing how to read by making the alphabet?
If everyone learns to read those easy letters of yours,
they will know exactly why they're dying,
so they won't even be able to speak up as they die.
That's the people.
Politicians must build a system so that they can reach
every single person with medicine when an epidemic spreads,
even if they can't reach out.
You want to make the alphabet for them to learn to read and write.
"Now that you know how to read, you have to save yourself"?
Is this an attitude of a king?
You must always look after the people and embrace them.
Do you want to hear another truth about how you really feel?
You are...
just annoyed...
with the people.
Isn't that true?
You wanted to make the alphabet
because you were annoyed with the people.
You people are just throwing a fit against the world
like a three-year-old.
Your Majesty.
People call you a wise king who loves his people.
Love?
You don't love your people at all.
A man is in love with a woman.
Then he walks her home after they meet.
And you got annoyed with that.
You bought her a sword and told her to protect herself.
That's what you're saying.
How can you call that love?
It is love.
Tell him that it's love.
I do love my people.
No, you are annoyed with them.
"Now, you all know how to read. You're all on your own.
If you are still unhappy after this, it's all your own responsibility."
This is how you really feel.
How dare you!
Sir.
Are you all right?
I am not done talking.
You have to keep talking with me.
I still have more things to say to you!
I'm sorry, but bad news.
The balance of power has been broken.
Your Majesty.
Please be cautious.
You know what?
I'm going to kill everyone who knows this alphabet.
Then,
I will find Haerye of the alphabet and burn that too.
You--
Your alphabet is as frightening as an epidemic.
I will stop it from spreading,
no matter what price I must pay.
Goodbye.
Yi Do.
Your Majesty!
Goodness, I'm sorry.
It looks like the balance of power has been restored.
Now.
Let us start debating again, Jeong Gi-jun.
Garion was Jeong Gi-jun?
Yoon Pyeong, kill Yi Do.
Then your neck will also be cut off, Garion.
Oh, right. Jeong Gi-jun.
I don't care.
Many things will get resolved once Yi Do and I die.
Kill him, Yoon Pyeong.
No, Sir.
Kill him.
No. I cannot do that.
You pathetic idiot.
No, I'm the pathetic idiot.
I let you go with my own hands...
not knowing that you were Jeong Gi-jun.
Kang Chae-yun.
As expected, you lowly ones are like this.
How could you side with the king?
Keep babbling on.
Kang Chae-yun!
His Majesty's safety is on the line.
Do not do anything rashly!
You aren't a lowly man because of your social status.
Your lowly father's lowly blood has a servile spirit,
and that's what makes you lowly.
Do you want to obey to your father's enemy that badly?
Jeong Gi-jun.
-You! -Ttolbok.
No.
Don't you get it?
He's trying to get you to kill him
to kill His Majesty.
Kang Chae-yun.
Can't you kill me?
What do I do?
What must I do right now?
Everyone may end up killing one another.
Ttolbok.
And Yoon Pyeong.
Lower your swords at the same time.
If you don't all want to die right here,
listen to me.
Lower your swords at the same time!
Do not lower it.
Do you plan on killing your leader?
Lower your sword.
That's the only way you can save him.
Ttolbok, lower your sword.
His Majesty's life is in your hands.
You pathetic idiot. What are you doing?
Kill Yi Do!
Sir.
I only move for your safety.
You two.
On the count of three,
throw away your swords.
One.
Two.
Three.
Commandant Mu-hyul.
Let us lower our swords.
You can...
take your leader and leave first.
Yi Do.
I will make sure
to stop your alphabet from spreading.
You won't be able to.
Garion was Jeong Gi-jun?
Yes.
Garion approached His Majesty with a plan, got his trust,
found out the cause of death of the scholars killed by Secret Roots,
and even carried out his secret orders.
That's why...
it was hard for us to find out who they were.
But they could find out the secrets behind what we were doing.
What did His Majesty say?
He didn't give us any orders,
but we must search through Banchon to ferret out members of Secret Roots.
Secret Roots' hideout was in Banchon.
And two members, Ms. Dodam and Kkeut-su have already fled.
This is urgent.
Secret Roots has announced to stop the alphabet.
That means they'll begin to attack us.
We must hurry up to distribute the alphabet too.
Prince Suyang just sent the script translated into the alphabet to Gaeseong.
Prince Gwangpyeong will begin printing them immediately.
We must search through Banchon, but as you know,
we need His Majesty's permission.
I must see His Majesty.
Do you want to hear another truth about how you really feel?
You are...
just annoyed...
with the people.
Something unbelievably huge happened
at Jeongryun Rock.
Now that his identity is revealed,
his safety is in a bigger danger.
And how could he have a debate in that situation?
A civil governor of Hamgil-do, Yi Chi-seong, just sent us a letter.
Prince Gwangpyeong left Hamgil-do to Gaeseong.
Gaeseong?
He said he went to Chongjisa Temple in Gaeseong.
Chongjisa Temple is a place...
where they printed Buddhist scriptures since Goryeo times.
That means Prince Gwangpyeong is printing something in secret.
I should go over to find out in detail.
Yes.
I will ask the Leader.
Leader.
Yi Chi-seong just sent us a letter.
It looks like Prince Gwangpyeong is printing something in secret.
Shouldn't we send Pyeong over to find out in detail?
Yes. Do that.
Yes.
I heard all about...
what happened at Jeongryun Rock.
If the king is willing to live in harmony with us--
Among everything he said,
there is one thing we should consider.
What is it?
The ideology of Buddhism is for everyone to become a Buddha.
And the ideology of Confucianism is for everyone to become a virtuous man.
Yes, you're right.
If people...
really do learn the alphabet,
will they be able to easily and quickly learn the Conduct of The Three Bonds
and the five cardinal principles?
If the people learn and live according
to the Conduct of The Three Bonds and the five cardinal principles,
can they truly practice the Confucian order?
That could be possible.
According to Lord Sambong's teaching,
we must care for the people, love the people, respect the people,
protect and give peace to the people,
and bring the people up.
If the people learn the alphabet and learn to read,
that could be an act of bringing up the people.
Of course, I understand what you are worried about.
But even if the people learn the alphabet,
they already have to live their painful everyday lives.
Even if they do learn, how much can they learn anyway?
Also, what can they do even if they know how to read?
How can there be
such an irresponsible system in the entire world?
Politics is all about responsibility.
The nature of politics has never changed ever since the world began.
Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, we must search through Banchon.
We need your permission.
Royal Forces are forbidden from entering Banchon without your order.
The incident is very serious.
I believe there won't be a problem with giving them permission.
Yes, you should do that.
Your Majesty.
You must stay strong.
We will make sure to root out the Secret Roots.
You must.
BANCHON
MS. DODAM, SECRET ROOTS
GARION, SECRET ROOTS
There must be something. Search thoroughly!
-Go that way. -Yes.
Search over here.
-Yes. -Yes.
Yeon-du!
What are you talking about?
The Leader's composite sketch is up?
He was found as a member of Secret Roots.
Then do you mean his identity was revealed?
Lord Yi, it's Master Sim Jong-su.
What happened?
I received a letter from the Leader.
His identity was revealed last night when he was summoned to Jeongryun Rock.
Then His Majesty knows
that Garion is Jeong Gi-jun?
Thankfully, he escaped and hid somewhere safe.
He sent us a letter telling us to wait for his next order.
Darn it.
Darn it!
His Majesty really permitted them to search through Banchon?
The case is very serious.
There was probably no other way.
The boss, Ms. Dodam, and many people in Banchon were involved.
How have these rebels been hiding in Banchon?
And Ms. Dodam was the boss of Banchon. My goodness.
The case is very serious.
But why isn't Lord Jo Mal-saeng here?
It looks like his chronic illness recently kicked in.
He didn't come into the palace.
Hey. Wake up, Yi Bang-ji!
I was the one who told Master Kang Chae-yun
that Garion was at Jeongryun Rock.
Are you telling the truth?
Yes.
When Garion was captured, Master Kang and another royal guard...
My only crime is that I secretly ate some of the meat
that Garion gave away after butchering.
You took meat from him in public!
You don't know me.
Meat isn't good for my constitution!
Please spare me, master.
My only crime is
that my husband died early.
Isn't it too harsh for you to take Yeon-du too?
It's because she was close with Gae-pai.
But still.
Ttolbok.
Why did you tell me to come? You know that I hate this place.
I had a favor to ask.
That little girl over there
is Yeon-du, a girl from Banchon.
She's friends with Gae-pai.
I'm sure she probably knows something,
but she cries whenever I try to ask her something.
Can you ask her for me?
Then,
you have to let her go.
I can't do that.
She won't be able to say a thing here because she's scared.
Okay, let's do that.
Anyway, how's His Majesty doing?
Well...
I feel anxious.
Anxious?
Well,
His Majesty should quickly give the next order.
Prince Gwangpyeong is fighting hard on his own.
CHONGJISA TEMPLE
Is this it?
Suyang already finished the first copy.
We can start printing that.
What about the metal types?
I made them like this.
Looks great.
I love the font.
Begin printing right away.
Yes.
Who's there?
-What's that sound? -I'll go outside.
Who are you?
What about my mom?
When will she get out?
She'll come out very soon.
You must've been surprised.
Everyone in Banchon suddenly got arrested,
and Gae-pai suddenly left.
Why do you like him so much?
He's like my dad.
Does he look like your dad?
I don't know what my dad looks like.
He died when I was a baby.
Do you like this?
You can have it.
Really?
What did you usually do with Gae-pai?
We played word chains and with marbles.
We played together every single day.
I see.
Where did you two usually play?
We used to go to the stream
and to Baeginsan Mountain.
Baeginsan Mountain?
What?
Oh, yes.
There's this old and crumbled temple.
I brought everything you told me to bring.
And he's held hostage.
Yes, great job.
What does the Leader plan on doing now?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure what's on his mind,
but he might change his mind.
Change his mind?
He seems to be shaken
because the people may learn the Confucian order
by learning the king's alphabet.
Is that so?
Yeon-du, have you been there often?
Sometimes.
About your friend, Gae-pai.
He doesn't seem to speak Korean that well.
Where is he from? He's a Jurchen, right?
No, he's one of the Gokturks.
Gokturks, I see.
Yeon-du!
Someone is headed over here.
-Who is? -A man in royal guard's uniform
and a little girl.
A royal guard?
Kang Chae-yun?
I can take him.
No.
We should just leave for now.
Move our hostage quietly.
Yes.
It looks like your legs hurt, Yeon-du.
I can carry you.
Come on. Get on my back. Come on!
Yeon-du, I'm not a bad guy. You can tell by my face.
It shows that I'm a very nice guy.
Yeon-du!
Is this it?
Your Majesty.
Forgive me for saying this,
but it's not the time to sit like this.
The translated Buddhist scripts were handed over to Prince Gwangpyeong.
I'm sure the printing already has begun.
You must begin
putting Haerye together.
I made them.
These letters.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Only you could...
do something like this.
-If it wasn't for you-- -At first, I had no idea.
But,
I found out one day...
that these letters could be
something bigger than...
I have ever thought or imagined.
I began to get attached,
and I began to put these before everything.
Because I made them.
But that was the problem.
Your Majesty.
Why are you saying this?
What are you afraid of?
But your alphabet
is attempting to demolish the system that controls people's desires.
You're opening up the gates of hell.
This alphabet is something so big...
that I cannot take the responsibility as the creator.
How can a king,
a politician,
do such an irresponsible experiment
over his people and history?
Am I allowed to do that?
What? What do you mean?
He let Jeong Gi-jun catch his first intention.
His first intention? What do you mean?
He didn't begin to make the alphabet
out of love for the people.
A king must be a man of virtue,
and a man of virtue must love his people,
so he kept on working and working.
But the people didn't accept him.
They didn't change,
and things didn't seem to improve.
He was...
as disappointed, frustrated, and angry
as much as he loved them.
Later on, he got scared of his people.
That's why he did this out of spite.
And Jeong Gi-jun caught on that?
He would probably feel like everything is crumbling.
"I began this with a wrong intention
and the process wasn't legitimate.
And since I made them myself,
I probably lost the objectivity.
I can't take...
the responsibility for the result either.
Should I keep going?"
Those noblemen in their hats and robes.
They're busy thinking because they don't have to make a living.
I feel anxious.
I feel so anxious.
Why do you feel anxious?
You said you trust him more than you trust yourself.
Don't worry.
He'll make a great decision.
This is it.
They seem to have just gotten it. They were getting ready to print it.
Did you bring all of the types too?
-Yes. -Then...
What's wrong?
You little...
What is it?
Read it.
"The Buddha..."
Goodness, this is...
It's the life story of Buddha.
Why is the first story to be translated into the new alphabet
the life story of Buddha?
What do you reckon this means?
This is a Buddhist scripture, not a Confucian book.
What do you think this means?
Is this because Yi Do is a faithful follower of Buddha?
No. Not at all.
Why do you think he did this?
Why?
Jeong Gi-jun was right.
I put this alphabet above everything.
I didn't think I was attached to my own creation.
I honestly wanted to believe...
that I was doing this for the people.
I wanted them...
to learn this alphabet easily.
That's why I didn't choose a difficult Confucian book.
I chose to translate
Buddha's story because it's easy and interesting.
Yi Do is no longer a scholar.
He puts the alphabet above the Confucian ideology.
He just wants this alphabet to be spread as quickly as possible.
Can you say that it's not the case, Yi Do?
Yes.
The people of this land were people of Goryeo just a few decades ago.
Goryeo has believed in Buddhism for over 500 years.
Therefore, the people are more used to hearing Buddha's stories,
not Confucianism.
Yes.
"I should distribute that story.
Then people would get interested quickly,
then learn to read and write quickly."
Yi Do. You have lied to me.
Did you say you want to lead the people into Confucianism with this alphabet?
Yes.
Confucianism was nowhere on my mind when I made that decision.
And Yi Do, you dared to trick me
by mentioning Lord Sambong?
Yes!
I believed that the decision was made under teachings of Jeong Do-jeon.
I comforted myself with that
and fooled myself.
What a manipulative king.
What a sly king.
This king can never be forgiven!
You're Garion.
Yes, Prince Gwangpyeong.
I am...
Garion.
And I am also Jeong Gi-jun.
You are...
the leader of Secret Roots, Jeong Gi-jun?
Yes, Prince Gwangpyeong.
Untie me.
It's such a pity that I cannot do that.
However,
this is all because of the king.
What kind of an excuse is that?
I had a talk with the king at Jeongryun Rock.
At that time,
he lied and said he made the alphabet
to teach the people
about Confucianist ideology.
He wasn't lying.
Yes.
I wanted to believe him, and I tried.
That was until I saw the translated scripts
which you held.
It was the life story of Buddha.
That's because--
Therefore,
I am going to act...
on my decision just as I have told the king.
I am going to find the seed of the alphabet,
Haerye, and destroy it,
to make sure the alphabet never spreads.
Also,
I will kill everyone that knows this alphabet
to stop the alphabet from turning the world into hell,
and from abandoning Confucianism...
with all of my life.
I do not care
if my name goes down in history in a shameful way
as a scholar of Joseon.
If the king has put this alphabet above everything in this world,
I have decided
that stopping this alphabet...
is what I must do with the rest of my life.
Therefore,
please forgive my disloyalty.
Also,
when I complete my mission,
I will go to you.
You will...
never be able to complete...
your mission.
You might be able to kill everyone who knows my father's alphabet.
However,
you won't be able to find
Haerye.
The seed of the alphabet
that will spread like an epidemic.
I will make sure...
I find it to destroy it.
You won't be able to!
Because...
even I...
have not seen it.
Come on, come this way.
Just come, will you?
Over there.
It was there when I was on duty,
and it's still there.
It's really there.
Since when has that been there?
Who knows?
It was here when I came on duty.
It was probably here before then.
Follow me.
I guess something was on it.
Isn't that a letter?
You're right.
What is it? What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
One second.
-Prince Gwangpyeong. -Prince Gwangpyeong.
Prince Gwangpyeong.
Prince Gwangpyeong.
Prince Gwangpyeong.
Prince Gwangpyeong.
Prince Gwangpyeong.
Your Majesty.
Have a seat.
Your Majesty.
You must stay strong.
Your Majesty.
Look at me.
I can't hear a thing.
I can't hear anything.
What are you talking about?
Your Majesty.
Are you criticizing me as well?
You're criticizing me too.
You're criticizing me!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Those jerks.
Yi Do.
Are you in pain?
Of course, you are.
But this was the only way
I could shake your heart.
You are too strong for me to take.
And there is no way to stop you
unless you make a mistake.
Yes.
Everything was wrong from the beginning.
I started off with a wrong intention.
I didn't love the people.
I despised them!
Your Majesty.
I didn't love the people.
I loved the alphabet that I made.
That's why
I put the alphabet above everything.
Kang Chae-yun.
That's why Gwangpyeong died.
It serves you right, Yi Do.
What are you doing in front of His Majesty?
"His Majesty"?
Who's "His Majesty"?
Is that idiot over there...
-His Majesty? -Kang Chae-yun!
Or is that man over there...
who's mocking himself and disgracing his dead son...
"His Majesty"?
Dam.
You heard him too.
Prince Gwangpyeong was so proud to be His Majesty's son.
But you know,
the Prince and you were both fooled by that king.
His Majesty is someone
who doesn't even know if he loves or hates someone.
His Majesty is that guy...
who doesn't even know what love is.
Bad news for you.
You gave him all of your life not knowing what he's really like.
And the Prince even gave his life away.
Why?
Does it hurt right here?
You have no right to be in pain.
Prince Gwangpyeong
trusted you without a pinch of doubt.
He told me that he could die gladly.
Even if
you wouldn't shed a drop of tear for him,
the Prince said...
the Prince said...
he didn't care.
Your Majesty.
You have no right to shed even a single drop of tear for him!
