[This drama has taken a creative license to history.]
[Episode 17] You said you didn't want the throne as long as we are together.
But it doesn't seem like anymore.
We promised not to lie to each other.
I started this to end the cycle
You killed another brother.
Then,
when working for development new government center,
I know that being a new king
means a new world.
If being king means
I will no longer be a hunting dog
and can end all tragedies,
I really want to be king.
Why? Do you not want me to be king?
I don't like it.
But, I don't like more if I have to be far from you.
Thank you.
You will be king.
I know that.
Even so, you still can't...
You can't kill your brother.
Can you do it?
That's Prince Wang So!
There are troops coming!
Close the royal gate!
You... what do you hide from me?
Have you poisoned the tea?
No, Your Honor.
Ladies and gentlemen have tried it before.
Now because I'm like this and I think about it again...
everything starts with you.
What?
Moo, Eun, and his wife Eun.
Even King Taejo.
All those who have died continue to bother me.
This is all your fault.
I made a decision to kill my brother and become king.
All because of you...
help So cover his wound and take my place.
Because he took what should be mine...
Your Majesty!
Yo!
So. So came to the palace.
Wang So did a rebellion!
Yo, Yo...
You have to write this.
Write a will if you will leave your throne to Jung.
Fast, now.
What?
We cannot lose the throne.
Fast. Write that Jung will be the new king.
That way we can plan it again. Hurry up.
Then... how about me?
Do you consider me your child?
What do I mean for you, Mother?
Only a tool that you can use to occupy the throne?
Don't you need anymore for your son who can't become a king?
Yo, don't be like this.
We can lose everything if you like this.
Leave the throne to Jung, please.
Now it seems like I understand So.
I can feel what he feels.
Bring Grand Empress out of here!
Yo.
Yo, don't be like this. Yo, Yo!
Yo! Let me go. Let me go!
Release. Yo!
Yo!
Let me go! Yo!
I still can't contact brother.
Park Soo Kyung is on So.
The palace guards won't last long.
Mother?
Whatever your decision is, I will come with you.
I found out after I saw your brother.
I know what I forgot to teach you.
If you want to have a kingdom, you have to sacrifice something.
Mother.
You have to make a decision now.
You can have all the world and lose love.
You can have love and live in a very small world.
What if I want all over the world?
I... will get rid of Wook.
I guarded this palace
I will help you enter the palace without bloodshed.
I will not forget your loyalty.
I know that in the end he will get everything.
What did I do wrong?
I'm also afraid that I will be banished.
Like So.
I think I'll be exiled.
Mother told me...
He said I was perfect and didn't lack anything.
But...
This is all because of you.
Because you're involved, damn woman!
You have to choose.
Who do I have to give this throne to?
Jung?
Wook?
Baek Ah or So?
You're so great. Why don't you choose?
Find the king now!
Good!
I just...
trying to survive.
Have you read it?
Step aside!
I said step aside! Step aside!
Yo.
Greetings to the new king.
Life, life...
king's life.
What do you mean "king"?
What do you mean "king"!
His Majesty has given his throne to me before he died.
He gave his throne to me.
What?
Greetings to you, Your Majesty.
Greetings to the king.
Life, life, life of the king.
Your Majesty, king.
Life, life, life king!
Your Majesty, king.
Life, life, life king!
Gwangjong.
He is the 4th King of Goryeo.
He is Gwangjong.
Now, you will no longer be remembered in history as a bloody government.
I'll help you.
Now, the Hwangbo family will use our strength to become queens, not kings.
I was very angry to see how big your changes were.
The further you get lost, the more you will suffer.
It would be better to stay away from the royal family now.
Why didn't you come to the coronation ceremony?
What if people mistakenly think?
When I arrived at Seokyeong
Wang Shik Ryeom is dead.
So people put me in the detention center until I was released.
But the owner of his throne has changed.
A traitor who overthrows a person who rebels into a hero.
That's the place I want...
and Wang So got it.
You want me to come see that.
Isn't that too cruel?
Help me.
I will be queen and pay all the pain you feel.
I will divide the burden which, for you, is alone.
Give me strength, brother. Please?
Moving the government center to Seokyung...
Cancel all decisions that have been issued.
Forced workers who fled due to this development
will be paid according to the length of time their working time
and returned to their place of origin.
What about those who die while working?
Do whatever the family they want.
Give them a job or give compensation in the form of goods.
Also do it for those who are injured.
Then...
Are we done tonight?
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Chief Lady Damiwon Hae is waiting for you.
Hae Soo?
Soo?
You have arrived.
Have you waited long? Forgive me.
Come on.
This, you like this, right?
You're overflowing with kindness, Your Majesty.
Why are you? There are only us here.
Just call me hyungnim.
Only you deserve to do that.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Thank you very much, Your Honor.
Sit down, sit down.
This is fun. I like it like this.
I've waited a long time for to have dinner
with you two.
Yes, we understand. Eat it.
If you keep making me talk when I'm hungry,
I will not eat with you anymore.
Alright. Let's eat.
Soo!
I thought you were leaving...
I'll go after you fall asleep.
This is a long day for you.
Why do you have to bother to and fro?
Sleep with me.
Why?
You just became king.
I don't want any gossip circulating.
I'll be back tomorrow.
I need you here.
I just feel uncomfortable here.
Maybe it's because I've seen the previous owner die.
Think of being here alone
makes me feel suffocated.
Stay here with me. Please?
Stay with me.
Tell me a story?
We are still far from a thousand years.
Umm... you can't see stars from here...
Ah, maybe a story about you, Your Majesty?
A story about me?
A Big Evil Wolf consumes the girl called the Red Hooded Girl.
One day,
there is a cute little girl
with big eyes like me,
sent by his mother to bring food to his grandmother...
Even after one day,
I realize how naive I am.
I want him to be king because waiting is very difficult.
But now it looks like I have to wait even longer.
You have to be careful about what you say.
Since Princess Gyeonghwagung became a nun,
the position of an automatic queen is empty.
People will try to knock you down, so be careful.
Chief of Staff! Chief of Lady!
Chae Ryung.
Chief of Staff, Ms. Queen Yoo wants to meet you.
Hello, Queen Yoo.
I called you here because I have a question for you.
Jung.
This was found in the previous king's room.
This seems like his last request.
I'm sure this is related to _ inheritance of the throne.
If so, that means maybe is not the name So written there.
Tell me.
Did the previous king really leave his throne to So?
If you can't say anything because of fear, we can protect you.
So you have to be honest.
Is it true that the previous king inherited his throne to So hyungnim?
Yes, that's right.
Liar. You lie.
I know Yo.
Nobody knows him as well as me.
He will never give the throne to So.
Say it. Tell me the truth!
- Mother. - Tell me, tell me!
- Tell me! - Enough.
Stop that now.
You can ask me directly, so why bother him?
Is that so?
Then why didn't you say the truth to me?
Why did you tear the letter?
Who said that I tore it up?
I don't know why hyungnim tore it up and just left a request before he died.
He gave my throne to me and there is no doubt about that.
He has a son so why did he turn it over to his sister?
If you are so curious, what do you want to ask him in the hereafter?
That's a good thing because he gave up his throne.
What will it be like if I force to take the throne?
Currently...
maybe the palace will be filled with by Jung's blood
and my brothers and sisters and my niece I slaughtered.
Empress, why don't you prepare a warning for the previous king's death?
I will visit you often to see your situation.
Don't call me Empress Mother.
I don't want to be called Empress Mother because you occupied the throne.
I'm also your son, Mother.
If your child becomes king, automatically you are also a Queen Mother.
You're just a thief who stole my son's throne.
Tell my family in Chungju if I want to meet them.
You don't have to go meet them even if they call you.
Alright.
Whoever it is and whatever the power, you must get my permission first.
Understand?
I understand.
I...
Your Majesty, there are gossip that come from all directions.
What about?
They believe that Kyung Chun Won is supposed to be king.
Minister Park Young Gyu thinks that you lied about the king's last request.
Kill him.
What?
Law of anyone who commits a rebellion.
The previous king's servant.
Take care of all ladies and gentlemen who were previously in Cheondeokjeon.
Don't leave anyone
who will doubt the matter of the inheritance of this throne.
No one.
I will not leave anyone.
The king is determined to arrest me.
You started the rumor if the king was lying about the king's last request.
Do you think you can survive?
Really?
Then I'd better tell the facts
if you ever spied on 4th Prince and Baek Ah.
Do you think I'll die alone?
Stupid girl.
I haven't seen this for a long time.
This is dirty. You need a new one.
I don't want to lose this.
You said you got it from your parents.
Looks like I have to do something that your parents won't like.
What...
Before we get married...
Looks like we have to register you as a daughter that a good family adopts.
This is because I'm from Hubaekje, right?
My grandmother still remembers clearly what happened to Gyeon Hwan.
His family was killed before his eyes.
He has always tried to not connect with people from Hubaekje.
It happened even before we were born!
You have nothing to do with Gyeon Hwon.
You are the grandson of Gyeon Gwon.
Still, we must avoid such problems.
I will visit your parents later to apologize.
If your relationship with him is revealed,
Prince Baek Ah also won't be safe.
Is that okay for you?
King Goryeo killed my parents,
and my king killed your family.
With that, you still think that it's okay if we are together?
Woo Hee.
it's not my fault,
and that's not your fault either.
Think of us both.
Unless you don't like me,
we will never separate whatever happens.
I will not allow that.
I want to rest now and return to my hometown.
I need you more now.
I don't understand why you insist on leaving.
If I can be honest...
I am sick and tired of this royal family.
Every time I go anywhere
my son...
I see my child and hear his voice.
I tried my best to hide it all.
I can't shake the shadow when you swing your sword, Your Majesty.
This is very difficult.
Don't leave.
- Don't go. - Your Honour.
For the sake of this country and its people
be a good and wise king.
You have to be a king like that.
Park Soo Kyung is gone.
He is sick and tired of this place.
Now...
he's scared of me.
You wonder what the name king wrote in his last letter.
Yeah, right?
You wonder if I stole this throne or not.
I don't think like that at all.
I'm the one who at least is curious about that.
It's empty.
There is no name for anyone who gets it in it.
That is kenaoa...
I tore it up, knowing that he left a letter like that
will cause more confusion.
After all, I've taken over the palace.
You did the right thing.
Park Soo Kyung has left me,
and Baek Ah only sees me as his king
and no longer his brother.
For Choi Ji Mong, I'm just
savior from my brother's death.
Jung...
see me as the murderer of our brother.
Even my mother alone see me only as a thief.
You're right.
Throne...
scares you
and lonely.
I'm here.
I will not leave you.
Wow! So this is Cheondeokjeon.
I... have a desire for you, Miss Hae.
With the surrender of the new king's throne, they will release some ladies in waiting.
I'm included.
I was told to leave Damiwon.
Then it seems like I won't be able to see you often.
Where are you going?
Miss Hae, can you help me to stay in the palace?
Please tell the king.
How is it?
He said he would discuss it with the king.
Good.
You have to stay in Damiwon.
On this occasion.
Can I not come with you, Your Majesty?
I don't know when else I can leave this palace.
Chae Ryung, you can still do a lot help me here.
If the time has come, I'll take you out of here.
Does asking for autonomy mean
Chungju will no longer be a part of Goryeo?
The ownership of your throne is very suspicious.
How can we serve you as our king?
Loyalty can only come from a belief.
I also grew up as a grandson of Yu Geung Dal.
Even though it's like that, the whole family insists on opposing me, the current king?
You have to think about what other allies are thinking when the king isn't even supported
by his own family.
Do you want
break our relationship, Jung?
If the previous king's wish becomes clearer,
we'll find out soon enough.
We have to do something with the Chungju Yu clan,
or everything will be more dangerous.
We must show the last letter the previous king,
or forming allies with another clan that is just as strong.
Even to the end,
I'm not his child.
Woo Hee?
I'm sure the king will like this.
Is this gift not too small for the new room?
Soo,
if I blame someone for my own happiness,
it will finally come back to me, right?
I will not be forgiven.
That's right.
You can't hurt anyone to save your life.
But...
I think you and I deserve get an exception.
We have already gone through many things.
Scars on our wrists.
We only want a little happiness to cover the wound.
I think we can be forgiven even if we do a little selfishness.
I will trust that.
Can you go and put this in my room?
Good.
Finally you go to him.
You said I was too greedy for wanting the throne and love at the same time.
Now you are the king's woman.
How can I accept that?
He is honest with me.
He told me that he didn't want to lose me or the throne.
He told me everything, even about his greed.
I have no choice but to try and understand.
I always wonder.
Why do you always insist if I can't be king?
In your eyes...
Am I not worthy of being a king?
- Not like that. - So what?
They said Prince Wang So was born with a king's star.
King Taejo also knows that.
That's not your fault.
This is only the condition and destiny.
Star of a king?
All this is only because of the star?
Condition...
and fate?
Can you promise me?
If you will never let it go.
This is not your fault.
This is just the state and destiny.
You will be queen.
Are you helping me?
Nobody can have everything.
Isn't that what is called fair?
[When the water dries up. Sit down and wait for the cloud to appear.]
Done.
Why do you want me to write this much?
I have a purpose for this.
You said you want to give me something for preparing your room.
All you give is herbal rice.
You eat everything without leaving a single one.
I was going to give it to Baek Ah and Choi Ji Mong too.
You don't need to think about someone other than me.
This is all mine.
Did something happen today?
No, why are you thinking like that?
You smile more than usual.
That just worries me. That is all.
Don't try to find out everything about me.
If you keep doing it even though we haven't married yet, I'll run away.
That's because I spent all day waiting for you, Your Majesty.
Can't I work at Damiwon during the day?
Even though I don't serve people myself, there are still many things I can do.
And also, about Chae Ryung...
I heard that he was released from his duties as a lady in Damiwon.
Can't you let him stay?
He doesn't have another place even if he leaves the palace.
Chae Ryung?
I don't know.
I need Chae Ryung to be I won't be too lonely.
Please, please?
Okay, alright.
But... I don't think I'll be lonely later.
We will have children and raise them.
Child?
The doctor will come to see you.
You have to take care of yourself so you can have children.
We aren't even married yet.
You told me to take care of my health and talk about children.
Married? We can get married.
When do we have to do it?
Let's do it whenever you want.
No, I don't want to.
You don't want to?
You have to propose me correctly.
At that time you said you had to talk to me in the prayer tower.
Do you think I'm stupid?
You will propose to me there right then, right?
I don't know when I can go there.
Leaving the palace is no longer an easy thing now.
Alright.
Should I propose to you so that you are satisfied if I want to marry you?
Facing you is more difficult than dealing with government.
Whatever you want to say, you can be honest with me.
I will tell the king myself.
Your knee hasn't improved.
When you were tortured in the past, your wound was not handled properly.
Now it becomes a chronic disease.
You might not be able to walk one day.
Alright.
I will be more careful.
But there is something worse than that.
This is the state of your heart.
My heart?
When you work too hard or when you are surprised, do you feel your chest feels tight?
Have you ever felt out of breath until you felt you were going to faint?
Yes, that...
You have pent-up frustration.
Your heart disease has become a disease for the whole body,
At this point, I can't guarantee you will live long.
Can't you guarantee that?
I can't live long?
I'm fine.
Please tell me until I can survive.
I will take care of my health from now on.
I was only 20.
10 years is too cruel.
I will live a little longer.
With him...
I want to be with him a little longer.
What do you expect to be like that?
Do you hope that So hyungnim _ becomes king for a long time?
I pray that the 14th Prince who is friendly and kind becomes my friend again.
You said you wouldn't side with anyone.
But, you are in favor of 4th Fellow.
I feel betrayed.
Don't be angry with the wrong person.
Have you forgotten what the previous king did to your oldest brother and 10th Prince?
Indeed, the situation has forced So to become king.
Yes, you might be right.
But, I still believe that everything is messed up since So came to Songak.
Fighting for the throne always happens.
When So got involved, everything became more complicated and cruel.
It's also true that he stole his throne.
I'm afraid that everyone will be in danger.
Do you think you can be a queen?
Queen?
I don't know.
I haven't thought about it yet.
A queen must use the name of her family and other families to support the king.
That's why King Taejo often married.
If this continues, you will only be one of the many wives of the king.
Do you really want to live like this?
What about driving a camel in desert and going to the vast ocean?
Don't you want it anymore?
Tell me whenever you feel tired of this place.
If you really want to go...
I have a way out.
I will remember it.
The 8th Prince came to meet His Majesty.!
Nice to meet you.
I'm here representing all the members of the official court.
Representing?
First.
We want commanders from 300 thousand government forces
it is decided by the choice of the official court member.
Second.
clans from each region will take care of the local tax collection office.
We will send a number of royal families,
but the rest is free to use for each clan.
As long as you agree to this,
You will have more than just support from this court.
Surrender about military forces and state income?
You mean breaking both king's wings.
If you think a threat like this will work for me,
you're wrong.
If you don't want to give up your wings,
what about your heart?
The Hwangbo clan from Hwangju submitted a marriage proposal to the king!
This is a good room.
You set it well.
Please say what you want to say.
I'll just listen to it today.
I did not come to fight.
I have come to clarify what I want and want.
I don't realize that we have things that we can submit and take from each other.
I don't want anything from you, Princess.
You can stay here if you want.
I say that I will accept you as the king's woman.
You won't be a royal concubine.
I will not be involved with anyone who will guard the king day and night.
I don't understand what you mean.
I don't understand.
What I want is honor and recognition.
Also, I want my son to get the throne.
I will marry the king.
I will be the king's wife.
I'll be queen.
If you marry Yeon Hwa, the whole family will be on your side.
The Hwangbo family will be your strength.
Don't try to shake me in this way.
I might occupy the throne.
But I still have a temperament like a dog wolf.
You occupy a difficult place to get and be difficult to protect.
From where you are now will be very clear to you if the family in power is like two swords.
If you want to occupy that place for a long time You need them on your side.
I have an appointment to marry someone else.
What do you mean Hae Soo?
That girl can't be a queen.
If I say I will do it...
I will do it.
You must have forgotten.
Because I want to avoid marriage to King Taejo before
he sliced his own arm.
Woman with scars on her body
can't marry a king.
Translated by @ baekdpotato
[Scarlet Heart: Ryeo]
You can protect the throne, Your Majesty.
I will make my child become the next king.
How dare he use the throne as bait and play with me?
You can't go anywhere.
Only you are my queen.
Give up to marry the king.
You have to release it first.
What should I do?
In the end I have to be a monster for Soo.
I will never let it pass this time.
