Episode 14
D-Dont... Don't kill him!
Did you have a fun time playing?
You survived even after fighting Kim Sung Yeol.
You might be quiet useful.
Are you back to your senses?
Did you find Jin?
I did.
I need to tell His Highness immidiately,
that you found the secret plan.
There is something I have to tell you first.
There is something I need to verify.
After I find the answer to it, there is a chance you can`t leave this room.
If it's His Majesty's orders,
she even needs to offer her life.
I have nothing to say. I am His Majesty's subject.
Then, if the King tells you to kill that child,
will you follow it?
Why would he command such a thing?
Please answer!
Slowly, I will kill him.
Seo Jin, that child
is the daughter of a close friend of mine, someone I treasured as much as my own life.
She's like my own child
how could I kill her?
If it happens that she gets offered to Gwi,
is the secret plan to get rid of him.
What kind of crap is this?
What different is that from the things the vampires do?
The Crown Prince also believes that.
However, I,
can not let her lose her life.
Are you saying the Crown Prince is trying to follow the vampire's method?
I now know why Seo Jung Do
raised his child disguised as a boy.
So that person also knew that Seo Jin
was the secret plan.
Is there no other way?
In the memorandum,
it clearly said all 3 parts of the secret plan had to come together.
But,
If we can get rid of him with only her,
then why would they need the other 2?
I need to time to figure out how the secret plan works.
I, too also want to believe that the Crown Prince is mistaken.
It's up to your decision.
What are you thinking?
That now, over Gwi and His Highness,
we need to protect that child.
First, I want to send her off without anyone knowing.
Until then,
watch over Seo Jin well.

How is Yang Sun?
It looks like she still remembers what happened that night.
She must be very shocked.
Seeing the true me right before her eyes.
The full moon is coming up.
On your hunting day, on the day she sees you...
It might actually be for the better.
Your scent must have stimulated him.
I was planning to throw you away after playing you like a toy
but it seems I can play a bit longer.
More than that, I have something to be sorry for.
Thanks to him,
Hwayang-Gak is a mess.
I will give you a large amount of money so when you return,
open it again.
You are saying that you are letting me live,
and letting me go?
Didn't you tell me that?
slowly...savor and enjoy.
I was getting tired living my life pouring drinks and selling laughter.
I don't care what happens to Hwayang River anymore.
I want to remain next to you a bit more.
Do you know what this is?
Isn't that a ripped silk cloak?
Correct.
This is a piece of Kim Sung Yeol's robe.
F-Finally you found him and fulfill your wish?
I just had a little fun this time.
But this cloak seems so familiar.
Please prepare for the national funeral service.
I'm afraid it won't happen.
There won't be a national funeral service.
What are you saying?
It's the Elder's wishes.
The King has passed away
and if we don't even have the national funeral service, the public opinion--
This nation's true King is the Elder.
The national funeral service for the treasoner who opposed the elder...?
The Crown Prince should know this as well.
Grandfather, please forgive me.
One day, I will step over this humiliation and catch him.
So this was it.
I wondered how Kim Sung Yeol could walk in broad daylight.
The one thing that old guardian vampire didn't pass onto me was this.
If I can only obtain this black cloak, then I...
I have delivered your wishes.
However, do you really believe the Crown Prince has nothing to do with the previous event?
Anyway, it does not matter.
The King is dead and the Crown Prince
wants to save his own life.
Then, are you saying that you will let the Crown Prince be coronated?
I'm more proud of him than you who keeps trying to teach me.
Out of loyalty, I was just trying-
Chief Minister, stop trying to do things that are out of your league.
No matter how much the King's position is seen as a shield, not anyone can sit there.
I apologize.
Humans are not those weak creatures you imagine them to be.
Why don't you try to become King after killing me? Every citizen will stand up.
After making him King, I will make the people abandon him.
And after that...
It was the vampire! I'm right, am I not?
The vampire that lives in the palace.
Ah, now he just roams around the capitol.
What is this?
Hwayang-Gak is closed and there are posters here and there in the city.
The content was that the King has passed away and the Crown Prince will be coronated.
The people believe this is also done by the vampire.
Congratulation on your coronation!
The people heard there won't be a national funeral service, so they think that the Crown Prince is blinded by the throne.
There are many rumors that he gave up this nation to the vampire that lives in the palace.
The Crown Prince offered his grandfather the King to Gwi to save his own life? Ahew!
There is no way...but not even a national funeral service...
Did you find about boats that are leaving?
There will be a ship coming in soon and depart for Qing.
But Lord, do you definitely have to send her away?
It is because being by my side is more dangerous.
I cannot leave until I find Soo Hyang and the way to get rid of Gwi.
So escort Teacher Baek and with Yang Sun, find a safe place to hide.
I will remain too. I have to serve you.
Jin will also not leave easily.
It's not easy for the heart to be separated.
If she will not leave on her own, then I have to make her leave.
Why, do you have to go this far?
That's because she's a nice child.
If she stays next to me, she will only get into fights and find out that she is the secret plan.
If that happens, then that child will try to give herself.
The person I love dying for me cannot happen again.
Lord!
Lord, are you okay?
I am fine.
I am not going to do that.
My heart will never change.
Are you going somewhere?
What are you doing here?
That...
Look at me.
Won`t you look properly at me?
Are you not afraid of me?
Didn't I tell you not to try so hard?
You know the real me now.
I`m different from The Night Scholar you are writing about.
You and me,
can never be together.
So, don't try so hard anymore.
Scholar...
Leave.
Now you are a free person.
Go far away from my side.
So then why are you
trying so hard?
It's the Elder's order to go find and capture the traitor Kim Sung Yeol.
Even if you know where he is,
with the power of humans, we can defeat him.
Although he has the vampire's strength, he has the heart of a human.
Don't you think he has a weakness?
The Elder will be happy even if you only find out his location.
Do not forget that this is a chance to prove your loyalty.
Your Majesty. How come you are so gaunt?
Please look after your health.
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
How can I not worry?
I remember what you said in the past.
That the king must be righteous, so the country can be righteous.
Where has the you from then gone?
Are you really going to just sit and and watch
the beast that swallows up this nation?
I have a childhood friend.
For a long time, I couldn't find her no matter how hard I tried.
I found her just a while ago
but we became separated again.
I have already committed an unforgivable crime against that child.
Why did you come here?
I came to meet The Crown Prince.
Could that lady have been Jo Yang Sun?
But rather than looking for that person,
do you not have something more important to take care of?
If finding my childhood friend
is for that important thing, how would it be?
If we offer her to Gwi,
we can save this country.
What does that mean?
That child...
Is the secret plan to get rid of Gwi.
Then, we should quickly send people out to see where she is-
I already know where she lives as well.
You knew?
So how come-
If I can get rid of Gwi, all of the suffering
will be over.
I lost many things
and the only thing left is
this throne.
In a fight that has never been won before,
having to risk my friend's life once more...
I might
lose everything like this.
I'm afraid.
Your Highness! You have me, don't you?
Also your deceased grandfather and loyal subject Professor No Hak Young.
The Lustful Student and the people who followed him.
And,
the thoughts of those people who were killed by Gwi remain.
I have no way of knowing how precious that friend is to you
but you need to lift their grudge.
I have to meet the Prime Minister.
Many years ago,
a human and a vampire had a child,
and that child became able to kill a vampire.
Jo Yang Sun, are you the descendant of that child?
Did you call for me, Queen?
The King might secretly move a person.
Monitor the Prime Minister's people carefully
-and find out about Jo Yang Sun's whereabouts. -Yes.
Since it's even hard to leave the palace due to Gwi's monitoring,
it's actually better this way.
We can use that bastard's order as an excuse,
and strike Kim Sung Yeol.
Your Highness.
Although he may be weaker than Gwi,
he is also a guardian vampire that possesses great strength.
If he turns us into his enemies,
he'll become a terrifying figure just like Gwi.
Then, what do you think we should do?
Our goal now is not Kim Sung Yeol but,
Seo Jin, that child.
If we strike Eum Seok Gol and failed,
and if Kim Sung Yeol takes that child and flees.
We might lose our last chance of defeating Gwi.
Then, while pretending to follow Gwi's orders,
send some spies to Eum Seok Gol in secret.
We first need to check if Seo Jin is there.
I will follow your order.
...Three!
Hold it.
I am helping you because you are struggling...
This won't be of much help.
I'm just saying we should buy some time for My lord to run away with Jo.
If I have to, I'll even throw my own body!
Well, it won't really help...
Even if you lose your life while doing that?
I was just a beggar who wandered around without a name or a family.
He took me in when I was starving to death.
He gave me a name and a job.
The person who told me how to live like a human,
is The Scholar.
Over there, who are you?
You! Who is it? Who is it?
If the spies are here, isn't it mean they will be here soon?
The military guards...taking Seo Jin from you won't be easy,
they will know.
It doesn't look like they will move rashly.
But the problem is-
My Lord.
The problem is that I have not devoured blood in a while.
I am in a very weak condition.
But no matter what, you need to
send Yang Sun away.
It's a big problem. He won't even move because of Jo
and the full moon will be up by tonight but there's no hunting game...
Then, what will happen?
If he doesn't get blood, he will die.
Or he lose his reasons and starts killing.
I will go and catch a wild animal. Wait.
Will you be okay, My Lord?
I found Jo Yang Sun's place.
Hearing their conversation, I am sure that Jo Yang Sun is in Eum Seok Gol.
- You did well. - What would you like me to do now?
They say to use an enemy to get rid of the other enemy.
We need to make Gwi and Kim Sung Yeol meet Yang Sun.
Then Gwi will kill Kim Sung Yeol,
then he will bite Jo Yang Sun who is next to him.
If that happens, the vampires will dissapear,
Then the His Majesty will become a proper King.
Until when are you planning to leave this child here?
What the harm to keep a pretty flower here?
It must not be known to the outside world that I am visiting here.
Are you afraid you'll lose the hard earned Queen's position? Or,
are you afraid you'll lose his heart?
Are you planning to let her out alive?
Didn't I also let you live and married you off?
This child...
is not something you should concern yourself with.
Anyhow, how do you like being the Queen that you desperately wanted? Have you spent a night together yet?
Ah, you are still mourning, right?
But what to do? Not much seems to have changed.
You are so called the Queen. But the Crown Prince--
no the King's movements you must report to me, so you'd still have to visit this place.
I found out where Kim Sung Yeol and Jo Yang Sun are hiding.
You finally did something praiseworthy. What are you planning to do?
I haven't forgotten the reason you took me in.
Why don't you strike him tonight and take his prize?
As long as you found out where he is, there is no need to rush.
Since he's so quick at sensing danger, he will run like a mouse when I move.
Still, are you planning to leave him like that?
I have to immobilize him.
He must definitely wear this robe all the time.
This...is the thing that protects him from the sunlight.
Steal this black cloak from him.
When I have this, catching him will be easier than stepping on a mouse.
But, how can I steal that?
Didn't you say you didn't forget the reason I spared you?
Approach Kim Sung Yeol and steal it from him.
If you don't, then there is no reason for me to take care of you.
In your position...
yes, I can just make this child the Queen.
But Kim Sung Yeol already knows that I am not his past lover.
You only have to make him believe.
Since tonight is the full moon, his mind will be hazy from hunger.
If you play him well, he might even be shaken.
What are you doing?
This is my true identity.
I don`t know what I might do to you.
How come you haven`t showed me this side of you even once?
What...is the reason you're going this far?
As you can see, I am a beast that lives off of human blood.
I am saying there is a limit to go against the instinct.
Scholar...
it must have been hard for you.
It isn`t your fault, Oraebeoni.
Hurry. Hurry, and
take my blood.
Please...
Live well.
Survive,
and fulfill your ambitions.
The things I can do
are only up to here.
A future for you and me
does not exist.
Why?
You will find out that reason
one day.
Orabeoni.
Myeong Hee.
No...
You are not Myeong Hee.
Orabeoni...
How...how did you...
I was taken captive by Gwi so I had no choice but to hide it.
Then...because of me...
did you also have to live this beastly life?
Still, because I could see you like this,
I have nothing more to wish more.
Myeong Hee...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
You sacrificed yourself for me
but I have another woman
in my heart.
I wasn't be able to finish my plans...and Yang Sun, that child...
I might die while trying to protect her.
I can't lose her...
just as I lost you.
Just as your ordered, I moved him to a place where sunlight will not reach.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
By any chance, did he-
No. I'm fine.
Just as Gwi said, he wasn't in a normal state.
He couldn't harm a human so even when he was dying,
he couldn't even bite me and apologized thinking I was his past lover.
But, he's going to die if you leave him so why?
That's because you never know when he'll be useful.
It's not because I have feelings for him, neither is it because I worry about him.
What are you planning to do with this cloak? By any chance,
are you planning to give this to Gwi?
Now that our spies are caught.
Even if we attack Kim Sung Yeol, he will only run away.
So, shouldn't we hurry and attack?
If you move the army too rashly,
we may just be revealing her place to the Prime Minister.
If you move the army in any way, you need to get Seo Jin in your hands.
As of now-
You can do it.
Queen, how can you come in without announcing your arrival?
What does that mean?
What is this?
This is the cloak the guardian vampire Kim Sung Yeol obtained from Hae Seo.
How did this end up in your hands?
From now on, you have to trust my words.
Since the sun is up, Kim Sung Yeol cannot move, just like Gwi.
I'm asking how you got this in your possession.
I will tell you everything in details after you finished the cause.
You need to hurry and leave.
His Majesty! With the source being unclear,
you can't just trust this one cloak
and ruin the plan.
I am risking everything to tell you this.
The King took the army with him saying he was going to go an capture Kim Sung Yeol.
What?
He must've found his hideout now.
That is he is trying to get on your good side now.
How come there's still no news from the Queen?
I don't know very well, but getting the cloak in her possession is not an easy thing.
You must
get that in your hands!
You already have this nation's King in the palm of your hands.
It seems you are unsatisfied with just that.
How can you talk carelessly? What do you know?
What are you planning to do after desiring
the King's position that the mere humans have made?
Even if you directly sit on the throne,
the nation's affairs are only tiring matters.
Rather when all the small animals are sleeping at night,
enjoy the blood, sex and your strength.
You should live freely.
I told you to be quiet!
Stop!
If you do something out of place again, know that your neck will fly off.
I
can give the Elder what you could not.
So please don't treat me like I am your enemy.
Where is he going so hurriedly when he didn't even give his own grandfather a funeral service?
The Eum Seok Gol Scholar is off to capture Kim Sung Yeol and Yang Sun.
Why? Yangsun? - Yeah!
Ah, what? - Who?
Who is off to capture them?
What do you mean who? He is the useless King.
Who is that rude jerk?
-It is around here. Narrow the surround and don't let anyone get out.
Yes!
Your Highness.
Teacher Baek, you were alive.
Your subject Baek In Ho was injured so I could not report to you right away.
Where have you been all this time?
May I ask where you are going to?
We came to find Seo Jin.
Is this your true feelings?
Can you truly offer that child, Seo Jin, to Gwi?
If it's for the great work that we have all been dreaming of-
Do you think that's the right way?
Anyway, that child is the secret plan. I need to find her.
Your Highness, in that one out of a thousand chance that you do give up that child for Gwi to capture,
that is something that creates another Gwi.
To Kim Sung Yeol, if that child disappears,
then he has nothing else to lose.
The Kim Sung Yeol who will resent Your Highness, and the humans,
can you handle him?
Yes.
If I am afraid of him and turn my horse around, I won't even be able to start the fight against Gwi.
Let's go!
Yang Sun.
I have to hurry back.
What was that?
Aigoo, really, that Scholar.
For someone who is over a hundred, leaving home at that age-
Aigoo. Is leaving home without a word the trend nowadays?
I mean, you did it too.
Soo Hyang too. And now even My Lord?
Do you think I'm always sticking to this place because I have no where else to go?
I don't have a particular place to go.
How long have you been here for?
How long have you and Soo Hyang been assisting the Scholar?
It was from when I behaved like a human...
It's been a long time. A long time.
Until now,
has Scholar bitten anyone?
The Lord? Of course not.
But why was he like that to me...
Oh, that.
Humans over animals. Women over men.
Even if both are women, the blood of the woman he loves is more tempting.
And because of that, how hard must it have been?
If he loves someone, then he desires her blood more.
How hard it must be! And sad, uh?
The pain, uh?
Don't move an inch and stay hiding here.
I'll check and be right back.
What brings you here?
We came here to capture Kim Sung Yeol and Yang Sun.
What do you mean high treason?
Aiyoo.
The sin of pushing the country's King to death,
even if he was sliced into pieces to death, he will not be forgiven.
My goodness, Your Highness!
Aigoo, Your Highness. You can not do this!
Move!
Even if you go in, no one will be there.
I know that you are hiding Seo Jin. Hurry and bring her out here!
Seo... if you're asking about Seo Jin, this is the first time I am hearing that name.
I won`t ask you twice.
Why are you doing this?
Jin.
There are only two brush cases like this in the whole world.
Let's split this since you are like my real little brother.
Am I the friend that Your Highness knew?
How can you hold a sword against your people like this?
All of this is for the people.
Jin, don`t forgive me.
The reason your two fathers risked their lives to protect the memorandum,
isn't because of the memorandum, but to protect you.
What are you talking about?
Jin, you are, to get rid of Gwi,
the secret plan.
What did you say?
If you get offered to Gwi, this country can be saved.
Take her away.
Your Highness! - Right now!
My Lord!
Scholar!
Aiyoo, My Lord! Your robe! Your robe!
Move, Kim Sung Yeol.
If you do this, I can`t save your life.
You can just kill me!
If you don't, you will regret this for the rest of your life.
No!
