[Episode 31]
Oh!
Look who it is.
Is it not the Minister of Government Administration?
Oh no, you're not.
You are just a regular citizen.
- You rascal! - Hey now.
How dare you speak to the Commissioner this way.
Stand back.
Please understand.
I have seen the way you have been behaving.
You are oblivious to what is going on and having your own fun.
That pack carrier boss that was in your team is now dead.
No, no, no... He's not a pack carrier boss.
The Crown Prince is dead.
You must be very upset now.
What are you talking about?
You rascal! Do not speak so carelessly.
I suppose you did not know. He is dead.
His guard is dead, as well.
You scoundrel!
Say that again.
How dare you speak that way?
Did you think you would be safe after refusing to obey Elder Dae Mok?
If you don't want to end up being crow food like the Crown Prince
go to Elder Dae Mok right now and...
You scoundrel!
Do you trust in Dae Mok's power so much to pull off such evil acts without fear?
When the world rights itself
the day will come when you will pay for your crimes.
I am not afraid of you at all!
Even if the Crown Prince passed away...
we will never leave you alone.
You wait and see.
For these insults you have said to me...
I will repay you soon.
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Oh, what is that?
He's still alive.
Leave him be. He will die anyway.
Let's go.
This is Court Lady Min, who will serve you from now on.
It was not enough to confine me in this palace.
Even Court Lady Han was taken...
I will do my best to serve you, Dowager Queen.
Dae Mok!
He plans on cutting off all my hands and feet.
Does he think that I will beg for my life to a person like him if he does!
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
What has happened to the Minister of the Right?
Have you made sure to deliver the message that I wish to see him?
Yes, I delivered the message.
Then where is my brother?
Where are all of my people?
Elder Dae Mok.
Please accept us members of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Please accept us!
Please accept us.
Please accept us!
Search this place thoroughly.
Find anyone who is hiding here.
No one is here.
No one is here either.
Goodness, those rats.
I need to catch them and rip their mouths off.
Look again!
Yes, Sir!
We would've been dead if we were even a little too late.
Thanks to you, we saved our...
We will end up dying soon!
Stop drinking and think about how we can live.
I am drinking in order to live.
I just cannot live sober.
What would His Highness do if he were here?
- My lord. - Yes?
What would His Highness do if he were alive?
Thank you.
Live.
Drink this and live.
No.
You must drink some too.
My lord.
Is Young Miss Ga Eun really here?
The King would like to meet you before you meet Young Miss Ga Eun.
What? The... the King?
He wishes to meet lowly folks like us?
Yes. You will understand once you meet him.
Your Majesty, it is Hyun Seok.
Come in.
It is a gift for the hard work you have done.
Dae Mok would like you to know.
Tell them to come in.
Lift your heads.
Your Majesty.
How could we dare to do so?
All this time...
you have suffered greatly, have you not?
I have made you wait much too long.
I am sorry for that.
What do you mean by that?
Mother.
Lee... Lee Seon, Lee Seon.
Mother.
Lee Seon, Lee Seon!
Mom. It's me, Lee Seon.
Mom.
Mom?
Wiggly, say hello.
This is your brother.
Wiggly.
I know you, Mister.
We met once last time.
Do you remember that?
Yes, but are you really the King?
Yes.
I am the King of this nation.
Your Majesty, it is time for me to enter your private quarters.
What is the commotion?
You need to wait, Eunuch.
Like this moon that waits for the sun
I will always be with you.
- Young Miss! - Sis!
Auntie.
Young Miss.
You met him.
Young Miss.
Why is Lee Seon pretending to be the King?
He didn't tell you anything?
He told me...
I don't need to know anything.
He said I should not worry about a thing and live in the palace.
Young Miss.
I do not need wealth and prosperity.
If I could...
I want to ask him to leave with me right this instant.
Can't we do that?
The day it is exposed that my Lee Seon is a fake...
Oh my!
Wow, you have great fortune.
You must know how the world has changed.
This kind of thing is referred to as "justice will prevail."
"Justice will prevail."
His Majesty, the King, is entering.
Leave.
Auntie is very shocked.
Soon...
she will be fine with it.
She is very worried about you.
She is worried you might be exposed.
I... am fine.
Young Miss.
Tell me whatever you need.
I am not the same person I used to be.
I can do whatever you want.
Lee Seon.
Living like a King in this way...
is it better than living like you did in the past?
Living as a puppet-king doing whatever Dae Mok tells you to do?
Is it not difficult?
I am not a puppet.
I know what both you and my mother are worried about.
However...
I am not the same person I used to be.
I will avenge Elder Gyu Ho for you.
I will restore his status for you, too.
Lee Seon.
Why are you so surprised?
Do you think I'm unable to do what the Crown Prince was trying to accomplish?
He was merely the boss of pack carriers.
You think the King of the nation cannot do it?
If it is for you, Young Miss, I can do anything.
Lee Seon, don't do it.
Don't do anything. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Think about Auntie and Wiggly.
Young Miss.
Did you speak this way to the Crown Prince too?
Did you tell him not to do anything?
All you need to do is stay by my side.
I will show you how I will avenge your father.
Please wait and see.
So...
how was the King after receiving his gift?
He was extremely happy.
- And? - His voice got louder.
He started to act as if he were a real King.
Your Majesty.
As for the disloyal subjects who followed the Dowager Queen...
We will need to fill their positions with new people.
Please appoint a Minister of Government Administration and Head Prosecutor.
I plan to do so.
Then I will find some candidates and give you a list.
No, not you, Prime Minister.
I would like the Minister of the Left to take this task.
I would like some new people here.
Please find some talented personnel for me.
I accept your command, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, why did you ask to speak to me privately?
I do not know what your motive is.
You should not pull any tricks.
You know very well.
The government...
is controlled by the Pyeonsoo-hwe now.
I am only showing you some good will, Minister of the Left.
You could very well end up becoming my father-in-law.
Does that mean...
you are thinking of making my daughter the Queen?
It has already been decided that the Prime Minister's daughter will be Queen.
I may be a weak King, but a King is still a King.
There are some things only I can do.
The important thing to Elder Dae Mok is that a Pyeonsoo-hwe member becomes Queen.
It is not important who becomes Queen.
I put in my work to cut off the Dowager Queen's power.
"Allow me to choose the Queen."
I am thinking of putting in that request.
However, before I do
I have a favor to ask of you.
Give me your orders, Your Majesty.
There is someone I need to settle a debt with.
Will you help me, Minister of the Left?
Minister! What can I do for you?
Why did you ask me to come alone?
Is there some sort of secret business?
Or have you decided you want us to become in-laws?
Don't say such nonsense!
Why say such a thing for my daughter, who has a bright future?
What now? Nonsense?
What's wrong with my son?
Help me!
Do you know who I am?
Who else? The fake King.
How dare the fake King treat me this way.
I have been a loyal subject to Elder Dae Mok for a long time.
- If Dae Mok hears about this... - Begin.
No, no!
No, you can't! Let me go!
Why are you doing this to me?
What... what did I do wrong?
Now... do you know who I am?
You cannot remember me.
The things you did...
I remember them so clearly.
I just don't know why you are doing this to me.
But I am one of Elder Dae Mok's men.
If he finds out you people are doing this to me--
You and I are both Dae Mok's dogs.
Which of us do you think is more useful?
I may be fake, but I am a King.
Do you not think I am a more precious dog?
Take a good look at me.
You...
killed my father.
Just because he stole one pail of water.
You tortured him until he died.
You hung him from a tree.
That... that man...
You're the son of the water thief?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please spare me.
I will do whatever you tell me to.
I will become a dog if you say so or a pig if you say so.
Please just spare my life, Your Majesty!
From now on, I will not serve Elder Dae Mok.
I will serve you, Your Majesty!
You will serve me and not Dae Mok?
From now on...
my owner will be you, Your Majesty.
It is you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please save me.
You are my owner now, Your Majesty.
The King captured the Chief of Yangsucheong and tortured him?
He could not have done it on his own.
Someone had to have helped him.
It can't be... the Minister of the Left?
Is it not amusing?
That child is already trying to foster his own people.
Elder Dae Mok, I do not think it is a laughing matter.
I never liked him to begin with.
It may have been nothing, but I see ambition in him.
Do you think the Minister of the Left has no ambition?
What about the Chief of Yangsucheong?
If I got rid of all my men for ambition, who would I have left?
Still, Elder...
If I became weak, they would stab me in the back.
Right now, they are all beneath my feet, so I am fine with that.
People who show their ambition are easy foes.
People like the dead Crown Prince who overcame a hardship
and still produced flowers.
People who know how to win on their own...
People like that...
are difficult foes.
Hwa Goon, are you all right?
You did not wake up for three days.
Do you know how worried your father was?
About the Crown Prince...
I am sorry.
I truly did not know that my father would do that.
Now... I am all right.
I need to speak to Grandfather.
I have many things to organize.
I have been in bed too long.
I should go see Grandfather now.
Hwa Goon.
Hwa Goon, I do not think you are all right.
I think it would be best to rest for a while.
There are many more people who are taking the deadly flower pill.
We will be running low on pills.
We need more people to make the deadly flower pills.
I told the Chief of Yangsucheong to bring more children.
You are working hard.
I am the Chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.
Hwa Goon.
Do you still resent your grandfather?
Grandfather.
Have you had someone you cherish taken from you before?
I have.
What did you do back then?
I became stronger.
Then I took more from the person who took the person I cherished.
I see that I do take after you, Grandfather.
Hwa Goon is staying loyal to her work as Chief of the Pyeonsoo-hwe as usual.
Are you not proud of her?
It is odd that she is acting "as usual."
Mister Jang!
Yes, Elder Dae Mok.
Send someone to watch over Hwa Goon whenever she leaves the house.
Yes, Sir.
Father.
The children are touching poison with their bare hands.
What are you all doing?
You... give these to the men in the prison.
