Doing this makes you no different from Gwi.

Scholar!

Why are you here?

What is going on?

This...

Crown Prince, get down please!

Let's go.

Just let them be.

Episode 12

Why are you wandering around carelessly?

How come you were with the Crown Prince?

We used our strengths to fight against Gwi.

However,

I heard the news that even the King and the Crown Prince have submitted to Gwi.

I told him if he still has the will to fight against Gwi,

then come out to the Hwayang river.

But the Crown Prince did not come until the end.

If the Crown Prince has really submitted to Gwi,

I can not forgive him. But,

I believe he isn`t that kind of person.

How come you think that way?

Truthfully,

I met him when I went to the Hwayang river last time.

I saw him looking for someone.

But maybe it's because there's still resentment left in my heart,

I pretended not to know him.

To be honest, there is one more thing I haven`t told you about.

This brush case is identical to the one His Highness has.

He said that there was only two of these in the world and that he was looking for his long lost childhood friend.

I should have asked him before but I couldn't.

Since we don't know with what intentions they found this place,

don't go outside for the time being.

Why didn't you save Seo Jin and let the vampire take her?

What are you trying to say?

The child that was together with that vampire, is Seo Jin.

Are you sure this isn`t a mistake? Jin is a man.

Seo Jeong Do raised his daughter disguised as a boy.

What did you just say?

so he must have had a reason.

If so...

Yang Sun...you are Jin?

I searched the forest carefully but I could not find any traces.

Who was that person?

The vampire that helped The Lustful Student.

Your Highness, do you know that vampire?

When I played the role as The Lustful Student, he helped me.

He now has the memorandum and told me to come find him if I have the will to fight against Gwi.

No way.

That person is a blood eater, and he killed Seo Jeong Do.

He must have gotten the memorandum in his hands by using Seo Jin.

No different than Gwi, he is a vampire.

To me it did not seem like that.

He has been helping you continuously this whole time.

When I look at you, I keep thinking of my friend that I lost 10 years ago.

By lost, you mean...?

He left me and dissapeared,

I left something important of mine with him.

You are looking at me like that again,

do I resemble the person you knew that much?

No, now when I look at you again, you don`t.

That friend was a man though...

Was that why he was so conscious about me?

No, I lived like a man.

Then, did he see that I was a woman?

I don't know.

I've made many inconveniences to you last time. I apologize.

What respecting the death of the Lustful Student meant,

about how important it was, I didn`t know.

After listening to your words and thinking about it,

I feel frightened.

What would happen if I was mistaken as being involved with the Lustful Student's followers...

seeing myself worry about something that haden't even happened,

- I feel very ashamed.- No.

Although the Lustful Student's crimes should be punished to the greatest degree,

what fault do the people that followed him have?

There has to be a reason why the people would follow him, right?

They're all like that because the nation is unstable.

If the King had taken good care of this nation, then those things wouldn't have happened.

To talk about a nation's King like that...

are you not afraid?

They must be assassins that are after me. Chase them!

Yes!

Please save me...father...

Maiden, come to your senses!

As you order...I'll do everything you order me to do...

Please...

Please, to mother.

Please save my mother.

Please save her.

Until now, did you watch me?

If the arrow had been embedded any further, your life would have been in danger.

Thankfully the doctor has treated you well so there should be no other problems.

Thank you.

I should be the one thankful.

They seemed to be assassins that were after me

but you threw your own body and blocked the arrow.

But why would ypu?

Since there are so many enemies everywhere, I have no way of knowing of who it was.

You must have a situation.

I'll leave now.

You can't.

I can't watch someone get hurt because of me anymore.

I have to go.

I awaiting marriage so I'm afraid rumors will start.

I've made a mistake.

No.

It's just an unwanted political marriage.

Do you have some sort of situation?

A child being sold because of her father's greed for power.

It's not a special reason.

However, there's a big meaning to it.

A big meaning?

LIke you said, the King has to be stable for the nation to become stable.

I'm willing to help with all my heart if I can be of help to the nation.

Then...

The person I want to marry is the Crown Prince.

I see.

I didn't know you were someone who would become the new Crown Princess.

Since the road is dark, I will send you people to go back with you.

Take care.

Now it seems that our Crown Prince has matured.

We need to pick a good day and quickly hold the marriage.

What about the first night? Are you planning to choose a good night based on the calendar?

She's a child too wasteful for you to grope.

How about I go that night?

I'm planning to hold a parade that night. Elder, please attend.

Really?

I'll think about it.

Those people innocently agreeing to a marriage with my daughter is suspicious.

Look here, Chief Minister.

How many Kings I made submit to me while sitting in this position,

You wouldn't not know, would you?

I apologize, Elder. However-

They say a parade will be happening.

I can't not go.

I, Baek In Ho, give my greetings.

Have you been healthy, Your Majesty?

Chief Baek, how long has this been?

You suffered a lot after being framed as a traitor.

I'm very grateful.

But that is the hunting ground to catch him.

I will risk my life and capture him, your Majesty.

I have carefully prepared everything for the hunt, so can I believe in your words?

So the one who took out the Lustful Student's daughter who became a slave is Kim Sung Yeol?

I-I really only knew him as a merchant who goes back and forth from China.

According to him, he is someone who often visits Hwayang-Gak.

Also, I know that that is a place that the Crown Prince frequents often.

I sent someone to tail the Crown Prince in case he would meet Kim Sung Yeol there and plot treason.

But he was killed by someone.

Then, Kim Sung Yeol has Crown Prince Junghyun's Memorandum?

Before Jo Saeng died, saying that he gave it to someone...

is that concerning you?

Hyunzo and the Crown Prince are acting as if they are submitting to you

and then looking for a chance to harm you with the memorandum in their hands.

Are you going to stay still?

What do you think?

I think so too.

Kim Sung Yeol often goes to Hwayang-Gak.

Have you been healthy?

I occasionally hear news about you through the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince is getting married now, so how about entering the palace?

I'm sorry to say but I don't think it's time yet.

Then before he marries,

teach him the rules and everything he should know.

I will do so.

Your Majesty, the Chief Minister is here.

My daughter's here.

Greet him.

I am the Chief Minister's daughter, Choi Hye Ryeong.

Have you seen her before?

I've met her a few times at the temple when I went to see mother.

She is the Chief Minister's daughter. Perhaps, were there any suspicious things?

I've been helped by her before.

She's totally different from her Father.

Don't let your guard down.

You cannot forget that something big is ahead of us.

What are you doing there?

The Crown Prince seems to know Yang Sun as Seo Jin.

Because of what happened at that time, Yang Sun lost her memories so she doesn't know.

Then, is Baek In Ho framing you to the Crown Prince?

He thinks I am Gwi who killed Seo Jeong Do.

Also, he must think that I kidnapped that child and brought her here.

If there is a misunderstanding, you can just resolve it.

At that time, Seo Jeong Do had already been bitten by Gwi.

Then, the problem with Seo Jin would be resolved too.

But if that happens...

Are you afraid that Yang Sun might find out your identity?

What's their relationship?

They're inseparable.

Why else do you think they would be talking together in a room at this night?

They can't be talking about only work.

Aye. It's a joke.

I'm joking.

Ever since Soo Hyang was saved by him.

It's not the relationship that you're thinking of.

Understand?

Then...

What are you curious about again?

The scholar.

He's a bit strange.

Maybe, I'm wrong. But he seems really strong.

He caught a flying arrow with his hand. subtitles ripped by riri13

Are other men like that too?

I heard if you learn for about 3 years then you could be like that.

That's not all.

Sometimes, his eyes goes like this.

It suddenly changes like that as if he's someone else.

There's so many strange things about him.

W-what? I don't think he's strange at all!

No, I'm just thinking maybe he's the

Night Scholar.

No, right?

T-that..you've read too many novels!

What are you doing here?

No.

Are you spying on me?

No.

What? Do you have something to tell me?

That... Um...

There's so much I don't know about you.

What is it about me that you're curious about?

Oh, well...

Scholar, do you have a family?

They died

for a reason I don't want to tell.

It was a long time ago.

Didn't you have a lover?

Yes, I did.

However, she left this world because of me.

That was also the past.

You must've been very lonely.-Until they died,

that's what I imagined.

However, a person's mind

can change after time.

Now, I know.

I won't be like that.

My mind will never change.

How long has it been since I brought you here?

10 years.

Finally, you're becoming the queen that you've dreamed of.

Are you happy?

The only reason I brought you here is because of

Kim Sung Yeol.

You haven't forgotten, have you?

I asked a person to find out.

He's really good at hiding himself.

Is that so?

Then perhaps,

Have you heard of the place called Hwayang River?

I know it's a place people like me shouldn't enter.

There's a rumor that he goes there often.

You didn't know?

Yes, I didn't know. I'll have a person find out.

Good.

You'll become the queen soon.

I can't have you do something so dangerous.

What am I to you, sir?

I...

Soo Hyang, are you there?

Subtitles brought to you by The Hot Bloodsuckers Team @Viki

Are you all right?

Do you know me?

I'm sorry, sir. You were too beautiful

I fell into your beauty without knowing.

Oh...

then why do I feel like you know me?

No way.

This is my first time meeting you.-No

your eyes knew me.

What are you doing?

He's a special customer, escort him in.-Yes, sir.

Please come in.

You must like this woman.

She's a child who is like my hands and feet so you can talk any time.

Do you know him?

I've seen him a couple times here.

Kim Sung Yeol,

really came here, huh?

Yes.

He finds this place often.

But he never takes any drinks from us and leaves after resting a bit.

Why are you looking for this man?

There's no need for you to know that.

Bring Kim Sung Yeol in front of me right now.

I'm sorry but I only found out about this person's high position today.

Since he comes and goes without notice,

I don't know when he'll ever come back.

However, if I ever see him again

I'll tell you guys right away.

Let's do so.

No matter what it takes,

I'll bring Kim Sung Yeol in front of you.

Soo Hyang, you should keep this.

Ask your underlings to get him

if they happen to see him.

No problem.

I'm different from Gwi!

How do you believe that?

Gwi is my enemy.

After you get rid of him?

I will end my life,

on my own.

What if your mind changes?

Won't you want to live above ruling the weak humans?

My Lord.

Gwi is here!

Is that true?

Yes, he asked about you.

Soo Hyang said she evaded him for now.

Gwi is getting closer.

We need to check the King's will as soon as possible.

Stop.

Crown Prince.

You were about to kill me once.

Why are you greeting me?

I'm very sorry but

That image and this image right now, are both me.

However, my original image was an assistant to the king.

Serving for the nation's safety,

as the Crown Prince's friend.

I lived like that. When the time came, I would die.

How did you become a vampire?

It wasn't my own choice.

It was the only method in order to battle against Gwi.

If that's so, then the dead Doctor Seo Jeong Do...

Seo Jin, that child... what happened?

There is somewhere you must go with me.

Did you really kill Doctor Seo Jeong Do?

If I answer no, would you believe me?

That's right. I killed him.

However, it was after he had already been changed into a vampire by Gwi.

He couldn't recognize his one and only child,

I had no choice but to kill him when he thought of his own daughter as only food.

Seo Jin... I had to save that child.

Are you saying you saved Jin?

Yes.

Do you still not believe me?

Do you only see me as a vampire who is the same as Gwi?

There isn't much time.

If you don't believe me, then stab me with this dagger right here, right now.

You need the memorandum to get rid of Gwi

but you can kill me if you stab me in the heart with this Chinese Hawthorn dagger.

The new palace where my marriage will be held

will become the battlefield with Gwi.

You cannot. Without the secret plan, battling Gwi right now is suicide.

We know it is dangerous.

The Crown Prince has also thought of

acting in accordance to the secret plan once it is in our hands.

However, the King's goal is firm.

Your Highness, may I meet with the King?

Sung Yeol, what I want to say is... I want to make a world with the hope of the people.

If you don't want to do it with me...

You told me that when I was nine years old.

Not for the scholars, for the wealth, nor for the fame...

Making a world with the peoples' hope... those words haven't left my head.

I was just happy reading

and gaining knowledge.

It was the moment of reason for me to expand my horizon and gain more knowledge to understand this world.

What's the occasion for you to be wearing the official uniform?

I will enter the palace and meet the King.

Can't this be done with your strength?

If you put your heart to it, you can see him easily.

That is a vampire's method.

If I want to receive the King's trust,

I'll have to meet him as a human.

120 years ago, I am someone who escorted Crown Prince Junghyun.

So you are the vampire that the Crown Prince has talked about.

120 years ago, while helping Crown Prince Junghyun who was battling Gwi,

I was bitten and became a vampire.

Also, after, for a long time,

I searched for the memorandum that has the secret plans to get rid of Gwi written in it.

I heard from the Crown Prince that you found the memorandum.

What is the secret plan that will get rid of Gwi?

The secret plan to get rid of Gwi is written inside of this.

What is the content?

Crown Prince Junghyun's Memorandum.

There are three secret plans.

The first, is the King's will.

The King who was greedy for power was the one who called Gwi in.

Chasing him out also cannot be done without the King's will.

If the King kneels to him, then the people will kneel to him as well.

If that happens...

The world will become Gwi's.

So the King's will to go against Gwi is the main source of all fights?

Yes.

Second, it's the guardian angel.

As the one and only vampire that can battle against Gwi,

I cannot harm a human because I have the heart of a human.

It is the role to protect the secret plan.

So that's you?

Then, those two are already fulfilled.

Yes. That's right.

Lastly, it's the mother's side.

As for the bloodline, I've been searching for a woman,

Using the 6 names as the base, I have been searching for the secret of the mother's side.

However, I still haven't found a clue.

If you lend me your power,

I will be able to find out the connection on the mother's side more quickly.

But let's say you did find that woman,

what can a woman's body do?

That...

I don't know yet.

However, it is certain that without the secret plan, it is impossible to get rid of Gwi.

So...

I ask that you push back your plan right now.

I've heard and understood what you've had to say.

However-

Your Majesty, how-

This is only a piece of paper.

Crown Prince Junghyun, and Crown Prince Sadong as well...

they both faced a pitiful death trusting in this memorandum.

The Crown Prince as well, I can't let him face a pitiful death

while searching for that answer.

Since you are an immortal,

you can search for that answer until you find it.

However, the citizens that have received pain all this time,

the King that has to look over then is human.

We have not been given a lot of time.

I will end this fight my way.

What will you do? Will you do it with me?

You will lose many things.

I know. That's why I am asking if you want to do it together.

If you really think of yourself as a human and not a vampire,

if you are really a loyal subject to this nation,

Listen to my command.

I will do as you command, Your Majesty.

Did you hear about the concrete plan?

Yes, I heard.

I will hide myself so Gwi will be assured and then show myself after the hunt has started.

Then I will tell this news to Chief Baek.

Jin...

How is Yang Sun?

Does she know she is Seo Jin?

Her memories have not returned yet.

She lost her memories ten years ago.

So that's why she couldn't recognize me.

That child...

do you love her?

That child too...

However, once that child finds her memories and knows about everything, it will be different.

I am the vampire that killed that child's father.

It was a choice to save her.

Even if she finds her memories, her resentment towards you won't be as great as the resentment she has for me.

Do you really think that?

You said this a day ago.

That if you get rid of Gwi, you will end your beast-like life yourself.

That thought has not changed even now.

Don't do that.

If we succeed and you survive...

please make that child happy.

Look here, Chief Minister.

How frustrating it is to live in this place,

you wouldn't know.

Are you thinking of attending the wedding ceremony?

Since I received an invitation, I should go.

It's an event to congratulate the Crown Prince's marriage,

so going empty-handed isn't proper etiquette.

Gwi may have already gotten rid of all of them.

Ho Jin, you try to find them until the end.

I understand.

Are you planning to attend the hunt?

I'm going to serve my duty as a loyal subject.

Please don't go.

I'm sorry.

I haven't done anything for you.

I will do it with you.

That's why you can't.

Are you worrying about me?- Soo Hyang.- I decide my death day.

Even if I can't achieve your heart...

please let me die by your side.

That's why you cannot.

My Lord.

If anything wrong happens to me...

Take good care of Yang Sun.

Scholar.

How come you're here so late at night?

Since there are so many ancient books, I'm just handling them.

You're going to need a lot of hands if you want to handle all of these books.

That's what I'm saying.

On that note, did you read all of these books?

I feel like it would take a hundred years to read all of them.

I'm also going to read each and every one of these books that you read, without missing a single one.

Then, are you saying you're going to remain here until then?

Yang Sun.

Perhaps, do you have something to tell me?

She still seems to be sleeping. Should I wake her up?

Just let her be.

Soo Hyang said she won't see you off.

I got it.

If I don't return before the sun rises-

My Lord.

Tell Yang Sun everything. And help her with whatever she wants in order to leave and survive.

My Lord...

Thank you for always only being on my side.

Should I call Baek In Ho, Your Majesty?

Yes.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Kim Sung Yeol has showed me Crown Prince Junghyun's memorandum before.

The secret plans to get rid of Gwi were written in it.

So I secretly sent a person to the Investigation Bureau and had them look through all the ID's.

But, I just received news that they found an answer.

Then...- What do you think is best for us to do?

Should we put back our already open sword and wait for the right time or should we strike since we already took out our sword?

There aren't many chances to drag Gwi out to the battlefield without him suspecting anything.

Everyone has now finished preparations. We cannot lose this chance, Your Majesty.

Continue as planned.

All the officials should go away. Quickly!

Let's go.

It's just about to get exciting.

How can you send them off already?

Is your etiquette to the guest who made efforts to come only this much?

There's no one who even pours me a drink.

I...

want to receive a glass of wine poured by the new crown princess.

Can't I?

Stay put.

May I pour a glass for you?

Alright. You pour a glass for me.

The start of the hunt

will be when he drinks the drink poured by the gisaeng.

Fire!

Your Majesty. We must escape.

It's been a long time...

It'll become a very exciting night.

The parade still has a long way to go. Where are you going in such a rush, Your Majesty?

Capture them.

Escape, your Majesty.

Why are you so late? Kim Sung Yeol.

Even knowing that if we meet again, you'll die...

You showed up courageously.

But how's the secret plan you've been trying so hard to find?

Look here. Are you okay? Snap out of it!

Yoon.

Yes, your Majesty.

It seems like I'll have to leave you alone and go.

I'm sorry.

What does that mean?

I planned all of this by myself.

Go and convey that to Gwi.

How am I supposed to live alone?

Live.

You must survive no matter what and get rid of Gwi.

I'm the only one without a method. How could you tell me to battle Gwi?

There is still one method.

Written under Crown Prince Junghyun's memorandum, out of the three secret plans, one is maternal.

That secret plan...

is Seo Jin, that child.

The names that were left in the memorandum.

The only survivor left on the mother's side

was none other than Seo Jin.

Is that the truth?- Yes.

Although there's no way of knowing what that bloodline is,

It will probably kill Gwi.

How can that weak child kill Gwi?

She will have to sacrifice herself.

I think that the Gwi sucks that child's blood,

he will die.

So use whatever method you can

get that child in your hands and serve her to Gwi.

How come you're like that?

Are you waiting for Scholar?

He won't be coming.

Where...

He must have gone somewhere far.

Very...

He went very far away.

He won't...

be coming back.

That... what are you talking about?

Quickly tell me.

Over here.

It would be good for you to save your words right now.

is Seo Jin, that child.
