I am navy officer, Kim Sung Hae.
I was investigating pirates.
You all seemed suspicious so I followed you.
What are you people up to?
What should I do with him?
Oh, my goodness.
[Episode 14] Yes, yes. Have a drink.
Drink it all. Yes, drink it all.
This is a secret now.
Ah, no. I really shouldn't.
He could be useful in carrying out your duty.
We will need the help of the navy soldiers later anyhow.
That is true.
I suppose I will have to reveal my identity to you.
To tell you the truth...
I am a secret royal emissary, Park Moo Ha.
Oh! Is that true?
Have you been fooled all your life?
I apologize for not knowing and suspecting you earlier.
Please forgive me.
Oh no. Just sit comfortably.
I may be rotting away in this rural town.
I am suffering because I am a man of justice.
If it is for the sake of the nation, I will do my best to help.
It does seem like a waste to keep you here in the outer towns.
Oh yes.
Actually, I am here because of copper.
Cop... copper?
I have been investigating.
Some people have been pretending to be pirates
and have been smuggling in copper.
If people find out about this...
neither you nor the Japanese authorities will be safe.
But, I truly don't know a thing.
If I had known, I would not have let it happen.
What do you think?
Would you like to catch these people who smuggled in copper?
If you help me out this time, I won't forget your efforts.
I will do my very best!
What should I do to help?
Have you not caught the people who stole the map?
I apologize.
Who could it be?
This will not do. We need to change the location.
Pardon? How can we suddenly do that?
Don't you know how important this deal is?
Do whatever you must to contact the Japanese merchants.
I will send a hawk with a message, but I'm not sure if they will get it.
Send 10 or 100. Send 132 hawks if you must.
Send them until they receive the message.
If this goes wrong...
don't you know how my father will react?
Yes, Elder.
- Please trust me. - Yes, you can go now.
Get going now. I got it.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Please keep my identity a secret from Ga Eun.
What?
But, why?
I would like for Ga Eun to live a normal life.
I do not want her to get involved with me or the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
I do not want to put her in danger.
I understand.
Nothing good would come from Ga Eun getting involved with the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Thank you.
Is that why you pretended not to know her?
Because you were worried about her and feared for her?
You should get some rest.
Tomorrow, we will face a harder battle.
I will be fine.
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for such a day.
Gon.
Yes, Young Miss.
It seems the Crown Prince is going to entrap my father.
What should I do?
Save him... my father.
Yes.
Either we have the wrong information...
or they realized we were coming.
Your Highness.
Over there.
Yes.
It is over there.
Tie it on tightly. The road here is bumpy.
If you're done here, let's get going.
Thank you!
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Yes. Goodbye.
Get going. Bye.
Let's go now.
Stop right there!
Who are you?
Oh! I really wanted to try this.
You are all under arrest for illegal smuggling.
Aren't you that soldier from the Hansungbu?
- Hey, get over here. - Hold on.
Let go of me. Hey, you.
What are you all doing?
Get them all right now!
Get over here.
Elder, what should we do?
Elder!
I told you... I told you. Didn't I say we should change the location?
Attack!
Elder.
- Let's run away. - All right.
Elder!
Where are you going?
Elder, Elder.
Are you alone?
Please, Sir.
A leader of the Pyeonsoo-hwe and chief of the Yangsucheong
are pirates stealing copper.
How pathetic.
Step aside unless you want to die.
It's Gon.
We should fight. It's one against three.
Where do you think you're going?
You people are like beggars.
We got them all.
Yes, you did a great job!
Arrest them all! Arrest them all and end it.
Just a little further.
My shoes keep coming off.
Hold on a little longer.
Hurry up.
What is this now?
Hwa Goon.
There is no time. Go now and I'll explain later.
Hurry.
All right.
Are you all right?
I lost them. The leader got away.
Your injury is more important than that.
I betrayed you, Your Highness, and let my father get away.
I said I would help you, but that's what I did.
I am very...
sorry.
You got injured while helping me. Why would you be sorry?
Does it hurt a lot?
Yes.
I did not think... it would hurt this much.
I will never ever... betray you again, Your Highness.
You must be very traumatized.
You will be fine now.
Do you know, Your Highness?
Being able to cry in your arms right now...
is the happiest I've ever been.
How did things go?
We lost them.
The chief of Yangsucheong recognized me.
That won't be a problem, will it?
They got away, so Dae Mok will find out soon anyway.
I must hurry and return to Hansung.
It will be hard to return to Hansung with all this copper.
I will return first and look for a way to get the copper to the government.
You and Chung Woon look into transporting the copper.
- Yes. - All right.
I am glad I am not too late.
You helped us out in many ways. I thought I would not get to see you.
I had something to take care of, so I was a little late.
By something to take care of, is it by chance...
Will you be granting my request?
Then I will be waiting in Hansung.
Hansung?
I will also be waiting for the day we can share our poems in Hansung.
What is it? What's going on? Huh?
Hey, is Mae Chang coming to Hansung?
I do not know.
What do you know then?
Don't be that way. Tell me. Is she going or not?
Just tell me, will you?
Are you not feeling well?
I have a confession to make to you.
It was an excuse that I had business at Waegwan.
Actually, I followed you here because I wanted to help you.
May I ask you why you want to help me?
I will always be your person.
Will you trust me, no matter what the situation?
Are you home?
Any news while I was gone?
Your father is waiting for you.
What am I to do now?
The day Father finds out I lost all the copper...
Tell Grandfather.
He will scold me and give me a command to follow.
He will also...
look down on me again.
It won't resolve itself even if you hide it.
What do you think? Is there any way to get copper?
How can you get that much copper so quickly?
Tell Grandfather before this gets any bigger.
Let him know so he can start planning.
It will appease his anger somewhat.
Oh goodness!
Wash up and put on new clothes.
If you go to see him looking like that, he will be even more angry.
Yes. All right.
You are the only one who cares for your father.
By the way, Hwa Goon...
what were you doing there?
I had a deal to make with some Japanese merchants and I saw you.
If it were not for you, I would have been in serious trouble.
Where is Chief Jo of the Yangsucheong?
He was suspicious of the Hansungbu soldier showing up.
He felt he had a lead, so he left.
You want to give the copper to the Dowager Queen?
We need her to go up against Dae Mok and give it to the Ministry of Finance.
The only one who can do that is the Dowager Queen.
If it is the Dowager Queen, she has the power to fight Dae Mok.
Are you thinking of joining forces with the Dowager Queen then?
She is the only one who can fight Dae Mok.
I will help her from behind the scenes for now.
Boss!
Chief Jo is headed for the medicinal herb store.
Are you sure about that?
The medicinal herb store?
Are you saying he is after Ga Eun?
Hey. Look who it is.
Ga Eun...
Ga Eun is in danger!
You wench.
Did you think you would be safe after reporting us?
Huh?
Reporting you?
What are you talking about?
You reported what you saw in that storage room to the Hansungbu!
I do not know what was in that storage room.
But, seeing you shaking like this...
it must be something you should not have there.
You little wench.
You're just the daughter of a criminal. Who are you to talk back to me?
Tell me straight up right now.
I never reported you to anyone.
That wench... Where are you running off to?
I am not running away. I am going to the Hansungbu.
Since things turned out this way...
I think I ought to report to them that your storage area is suspicious.
You wench.
You will never think straight until you get executed like your father.
Why, you little...
Young Miss! Young Miss, Young Miss.
Ga Eun! Please be safe.
What is this? Move.
Move!
You need to come with me.
The King has requested that I bring you to him.
Ga Eun! Is Ga Eun safe?
Young Master Chun Soo?
What about Ga Eun?
Is Ga Eun safe?
Yes.
She is safe.
Right at that moment, the King sent someone for her.
She went to the palace.
The King?
Stand up.
How have you been living all this time?
I'm sure you must have suffered a lot.
I remember you now.
You are the daughter of Han Gyu Ho, who died five years ago.
Executing him... was my mistake.
I am sorry.
I want to do something for you.
Is there anything you want from me?
I am the King of this nation.
I can do anything you ask of me.
Then...
will you restore my father's status?
Will you cleanse his name...
of the shame of being labeled a traitor?
Well...
It will be difficult for me to dig into past affairs.
Ask me anything else.
Is it hard for you to make a living?
I can give you any property.
Besides restoring my father's status...
there is nothing I want.
If there is nothing more you have to say, I will get going now.
Wait.
The greenhouse... I need someone to take care of it.
I heard you know a lot about medicinal plants.
Could you grow medicinal plants in this greenhouse?
I suffer from insomnia and headaches.
I thought the plants could be helpful.
I accept your command, Your Majesty.
Thank you.

[Ruler: Master of the Mask]
Did you come because you were worried about me?
Yes.
The real Lee Seon is alive?
Even one moment would be fine.
I would like to be a real King.
Do you like that girl, Ga Eun?
Can someone as pathetic as me want Young Miss Ga Eun?
Is that all you have to say to me?
I am sorry.
I do not think I have forgotten you for even one moment.
