Father.
You asked me to understand you for choosing justice over life.
Now...
I finally understand how you felt when you left me that letter.
Something more important than life...
I have something like that now.
Deposition.
I will depose the King who is working with the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Follow me.
Ga Eun!
Young Master, I will fight the Pyeonsoo-hwe, as well.
I will not stand by and do nothing.
I will not let them win.
Ga Eun, Ga Eun!
Ga Eun!
Ga Eun, Ga Eun...
Wait. Ga Eun!
Ga Eun!
[Episode 19] All right, then.
What did Ga Eun say before she left?
She said she had something she had to do.
That was why she had to become a court lady.
That was all she said.
Did she leave any last words for me?
Just that she was sorry.
Once one enters the palace, you can only leave if you die.
Oh dear.
Where are you going?
I am going to the palace.
I will go and bring Ga Eun back.
Was Young Miss Ga Eun dragged there?
Did someone forcefully take her?
She went there on her own.
She became a court lady of her own free will.
Yes, but why?
Why would she leave without one word to me?
She must have had a reason.
Why and for what reason is a problem for later.
I must go bring her back right now.
What right do you have to get Ga Eun back?
If you do not get her back right now, is she in danger of dying?
Then am I supposed to send her off like this?
She is a court lady. She is the King's woman.
If you behave rashly, you will not be the only one at risk.
Don't you see that you will put Ga Eun in danger, as well?
Just wait.
Meet Lee Seon first.
Lee Seon may end up helping you.
King.
This girl's father died and she has no one to depend on.
She has led a lonely life.
Is it not a sad situation?
Therefore, I am thinking of bringing her into the palace and protecting her.
What do you think?
King?
I will do as you wish.
Then she will be your court lady starting today.
The King is the father of the nation's people.
He is Joseon's foundation.
Live your life assisting him.
Yes, Dowager Queen.
You may leave.
Follow me.
Your mother has kept her promise to you.
Without the formal marriage selection process
the laws do not allow an outsider to become a royal concubine.
That is why I have brought her in as a court lady for now.
I will wait for the right time to make her your royal concubine.
You are very benevolent, Your Majesty.
Now, you know who you must join forces with.
Is it clearer to you now?
The Dowager Queen wants to give you a precious gift.
That is why I gave you a gift, as well.
How does it feel to see your family?
By the way, have you heard?
General Choi Heon is returning.
This is the new chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Chief!
All matters, small or large...
will be handled by her.
You can all go about your work and report to her.
Yes, Elder Dae Mok.
Do not disappoint me.
Yes, Elder Dae Mok.
The officer has a request to make.
Take care of that first.
Step forward, Officer.
You wish to manage the deadly flower fields?
Yes, Chief.
Isn't that too small of a task for you?
Managing the deadly flower fields...
is not a lowly task.
Please leave it to me.
You're saying something I like for the first time.
That small field is the source of our strength.
You wouldn't have trouble managing that by any chance, would you?
Fine then.
You may manage the field.
Thank you for accepting my request.
Chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
You think I am acting out of character?
I know you care for your granddaughter.
However, to give her complete control as chief...
is she not lacking experience?
Do you not find it strange?
Excuse me?
My Hwa Goon.
She said she hated me for killing the Crown Prince because she loved him.
She refused to become a member of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
She cried and ran out of the house.
A girl like that returns one day and offers to be my successor...
What is my granddaughter up to?
I need to hide my own plans.
That is the only way she will show the trick up her sleeve.
Please help me out.
Yes, Boss.
"Yeok Ae Ji San."
Even the pack carriers have never heard of it.
I do not know where in Joseon's eight cities to start looking.
We will have to use the network of pack carriers.
We need to look harder.
Your Highness.
Today is the first of the month.
I know.
You may see Young Miss Ga Eun if you go to the palace.
What if she really did decide to become a court lady on her own?
What will you do?
If you do not need anything else, I will get going now.
Wait.
Is the work... tiresome?
It is fine.
Your Majesty, it is your eunuch.
Come in.
Ga Eun.
Let me go.
Why are you doing this?
I said let me go.
Do you not know how serious a crime it is to touch a court lady?
I am a court lady.
Do not forget that you are in the palace right now. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
There is training for court ladies soon. Follow me.
Yes, Lady.
Are you the pack carrier boss who is here to see the King?
Yes.
One who is to meet the King must always have a pure body and heart.
That is the heart of a loyal subject.
Crown Prince.
Before you meet your subjects...
your body and heart must always be pure.
That is how the heart of a ruler should be.
I understand.
I will always remember your words, Eunuch.
Follow me.
Yes.
Elder Eunuch.
I am the boss of the pack carriers, Park Chun Soo.
I am pleased to greet you, Your Majesty.
Lift your head.
You had such a great reputation. I was curious to meet you.
You are too kind, Your Majesty.
My name only became known because of a meaningless skill.
To hear you say I have a great reputation... I'm very embarrassed.
When I was a Crown Prince...
I had a guard named Chun Soo.
How nice it would have been if he had lived instead of dying.
I had thought that.
Again and again.
I, myself...
had a near-death experience.
I was sick in bed for months and when I woke up...
my family and my friends...
were all gone.
How is it that you ended up becoming a pack carrier traveling around Joseon?
It was through the advice of my teacher, while I was looking for answers.
It worked out that way.
Have you found the answers you were looking for?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Really?
I do envy you.
I always have eyes watching me.
I cannot rest in peace...
even for one moment.
I apologize.
You do not need to apologize.
Next time, I would like to meet in a less formal setting.
I would like to hear more about you when that time comes.
Yes, we should do that.
Your Majesty.
I have one last thing to ask you.
Recently, there was a rainbow that came over the wall into the palace.
Did you happen to see it?
A rainbow?
This was most definitely...
a great blessing to the nation.
A rainbow came over the wall of the palace...
A great blessing to the nation?
"Ga" as in great. "Eun" as in blessing.
Han Ga Eun.
Ga Eun.
Let me go.
Why are you doing this?
I said let me go.
Why is the Crown Prince asking about Young Miss Ga Eun?
Your mother has kept her promise to you.
Without the formal marriage selection process
the laws do not allow an outsider to become a royal concubine.
I will wait for the right time to make her your royal concubine.
Did that happen?
I did not see the rainbow.
We will end things here today.
I did not expect to see you here.
I did not expect to see you here either, Young Miss.
Have you become a court lady, as well?
Yes.
I was asked to teach poetry to the court ladies.
So, I became a senior court lady.
I wanted to ask you something.
Yang did not know how to write.
Yet... the map that you gave me had writing on it.
It did not look like something a child drew.
It was well drawn.
Why did you draw that map?
Why did you give it to the boss?
May I ask you that?
I did not do anything to harm him.
However, I cannot say that the map will not cause any danger.
It is hard to guarantee that.
Then why?
I did not draw that map because I wanted to.
I suppose I should say I had no choice but to do it.
To tell you the truth, I...
I wasted your time talking.
[Gyeonggi]
What will you do now?
I apologize.
Did you know that child?
I am talking about that child, Yang.
I saw her once and it bothered me.
I was in the same situation as her.
Her addiction was too severe.
There was nothing that could be done.
If you had rescued me even a little later, Father...
I would have been like that child.
I would have died.
Thank you, Father.
It seems you have something you want to say.
What is it?
Can't we help someone with the power and information we have?
I have been watching the Crown Prince.
If he were to sit on the throne, I believe he would protect the people.
By any chance...
do you wish to support the Crown Prince at all?
You foolish girl.
He is also the son of a traitor.
Is that why you drew that map for him?
Dae Mok, the Dowager Queen, and the Crown Prince...
Do not take a side.
There must be a balance of power.
That is the only way no one will act recklessly.
Also, this is for our own safety.
We will not be at risk.
Do not forget this.
We have no King.
I do envy you.
I always have eyes watching me.
I cannot rest in peace even for one moment.
I have something to tell you.
It's about the map Yang drew.
I don't know the name of the actual location.
I do know that it's in Gyeonggi.
It may take time.
But, I am sure you will find it.
Well, then.
Are you...
doing well?
It may seem beautiful.
But, the palace is a place where you cannot be at peace for even a moment.
Is it difficult?
Are you feeling well?
You're not sick or anything?
Ga Eun?
"Our relationship...
is over."
Is that what you think?
I...
am a court lady now.
A relationship that is over...
cannot be restored to what it was.
Not being able to be with you...
is more painful than I imagined.
I...
will restore things to how they were.
Just say the word.
Then...
I will put things back the way they were.
Tell me I am still in your heart.
That is all I need to hear.
Are you there, Eunuch?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I need to go see the Dowager Queen right now.
Get things prepared.
Your Majesty.
It is very late at night.
Why don't you visit the Dowager Queen early tomorrow morning?
I said get prepared!
Yes, Your Majesty.
