Father!
Run!
Father!
Your Highness!
You must run.
Save the Crown Prince!
Father!
Father...
His Majesty has passed away, so you are now the King of Joseon.
You must come back here and destroy Dae Mok.
Become a good and wise King.
You must protect the Crown Prince, no matter what happens.
Father.
Leave now.
Royal General...
Leave!
Chung Woon, Chung Woon.
Royal General!
Chung Woon, wait.
Royal General! Royal General!
Leave him and go after the Crown Prince.
What are you all doing? Get me the Crown Prince.
[Episode 9] Your Highness.
I will get rid of them and follow you.
- You head on without me. - No, I cannot.
Then why don't we split up and meet again?
If you head that way, there is a shack used for hunting.
I will head there after.
You must stay alive.
He is alive.
They won't leave him alive.
Until they confirm he is dead, they will not sheath their swords.
Gon.
Give me the Gool Seo Maek.
[Gool Seo Maek: Drug used to make a pulse disappear and then come back.]
This will make his pulse stop for half a day before it returns, right?
You're sure, right?
However, it is difficult even for a healthy man to endure.
He may not be able to wake up if you give it to him in this condition.
There is no other choice.
I have to make Grandfather think he is dead...
I have no other way of saving him.
He will get through it.
He is destined to by the heavens.
Gon!
Your Highness, you must get through this.
Young Miss.
Your Highness, Your Highness!
Your Highness. Please wake up.
Your Highness, Your Highness!
He is dead.
That cannot be.
He is still alive. His body is still warm.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness. Your Highness...
Are you afraid?
Put all the fear you feel now into this mask.
I... I am not the Crown Prince.
Why would I put on that mask?
Now, now...
No.
You are the Crown Prince from now on.
Joseon's Crown Prince wears the mask.
Actually, no.
You will become Joseon's King.
However...
the moment you become a real King and not my puppet King
you will also...
follow in the footsteps of the Crown Prince.
There are plenty of people I can put a mask on and call King.
If you wish to live, you will become a puppet.
While in this mask...
you are the King of Joseon.
Bury him.
Yes, Sir.
No! Your Highness!
No! Your Highness.
He is already dead. Forget him.
Please, Grandfather.
Take Hwa Goon out of here.
Yes, Elder.
No! No, Your Highness!
Your Highness, Your Highness!
Your Highness! Grandfather!
I hate you, Grandfather. I hate you, Grandfather.
Give the Crown Prince back to me.
Your Highness!
Hwa Goon.
Bury him.
Yes, Sir.
I am in a rush to get some medicine on behalf of Lady Youngbin.
Her family is seriously ill and it is very urgent.
I will get in trouble if I am late.
Young Master Chun Soo.
I have so much to tell you.
Where are you right now?
Your Highness.
No, this cannot be. Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Your Highness...
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Please, Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Your Highness...
I am positive I felt a pulse.
I can't guarantee that he will wake up.
He will wake up.
He must wake up.
Dae Mok is pressuring the Queen to get the Crown Prince on the throne.
If the fake becomes King before the Crown Prince wakes up...
What will we do then?
The puppet King that Dae Mok has chosen for the throne...
is it really Lee Seon?
I believe so.
Crown Prince.
Answer me, Crown Prince.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
The late King's death was so sudden.
The state of the government is in danger.
Please think of the stability of the government.
Please give your orders.
We wish for orders from you, Your Majesty.
Though we have always followed traditional procedures...
right now, our priority is to bring peace of mind to the people.
Crown Prince.
I know that your sorrow is great.
However, think about the success of the government.
Please become a good ruler.
I will accept your orders.
Chung Woon.
Dowager Queen.
You are faced with sudden disaster.
You must be very heartbroken.
Thankfully, the King has risen to the throne safely.
Is this not all because of loyal subjects like you in this nation?
I wonder what crisis you may have in the future.
I am worried and that is why I am here.
In the future?
Did you say crisis?
Yes.
Dowager Queen.
In order to avoid it...
Give Yangsucheong the right to print and issue currency.
What do you mean by that?
Do you mean Yangsucheong will control the currency?
Printing currency is a big task for the nation.
Recently, individuals have minted their own currency.
The people are in distress.
You need to make a strong decision.
You need to manage the currency.
Those who make fake currency must be severely punished.
But, why would it be Yangsucheong that would need to do this work?
It is the Ministry of Finance who should be overseeing it.
You should hand over the rights to Yangsucheong.
Let us manage the currency.
During the morning gathering tomorrow...
you must hand over the rights to Yangsucheong.
That is the only way to save the people in misery.
So, Prime Minister...
You want to give the rights to print currency to Yangsucheong?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The royal family is going through financial difficulties.
We can no longer push this issue.
Your Majesty.
Please accept the request of your loyal subjects.
Give the papers to His Majesty to stamp.
The Dowager Queen is entering!
I am sure you are all surprised to see a woman here.
However, the late King's death was so very sudden.
That is why I felt I needed to step forward.
Prime Minister.
Yes, Dowager Queen.
The King is only 17 years old.
He is not an adult yet.
Isn't that correct?
Why don't you answer me, Minister of the Left?
Is the King an adult?
No, Your Majesty.
Then, why...
is it that a regent has not been appointed to act on his behalf?
Your Majesty.
Yes, Queen.
How could you give the rights of the currency to Yangsucheong? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
You are still very young.
Perhaps you do not know the function of all the ministries yet.
Once you become an adult
you can manage the government on your own.
Your mother will act as Queen Regent.
Yes, Dowager Queen.
What?
We barely managed to get rid of the King.
The Dowager Queen wants to be Queen Regent.
Elder Dae Mok.
Are you going to stand by and let her do this?
We cannot overlook the Dowager Queen's military power.
She's from Joseon's most powerful military family.
You could say half of the royal soldiers are her men.
Then are you saying we should accept this?
Even if we accept that we did not get the rights to print currency
she will continue to sit as Queen Regent and cause problems.
Come on now. It will only be for three years.
The King will become an adult after three years.
Once there is no cause, she will have to back down.
Minister of the Right, it seems like you want this.
What about you, Minister of the Left?
Are you doubting me because the Dowager Queen is my family?
What did you say?
The Queen Regent...
accept it.
What use is military power?
Without financial power, they are all a disorderly mob.
Do you think she can use her soldiers without any money?
To the Dowager Queen who relies so much on her military power...
I will show her how scary financial power can be.
Yangsucheong, I want you all to release money to the people.
We do not need a profit.
I want all the people to come to Yangsucheong.
Make them borrow money from us.
I, Dae Mok...
will use my financial power to wipe out her military power.
I will show her.
Your Highness.
Where do you think you're going in that condition?
Dae Mok...
killed my father.
I need to go to the palace now.
My mother? Is she alive?
Lady Youngbin...
Everyone was killed by Dae Mok.
That cannot be true.
There are so many guards protecting the palace.
My father...
passed away, as well.
What about Lee Seon?
What happened to him?
Dae Mok.
Dae Mok put a mask on him and made him King.
The plan the King used to protect you became toxic in the end.
Hey!
The late King...
looked the other way and allowed you all to live here.
However...
The new King considers rules very important.
He has given a command not to allow this to go on any longer.
You must move out of your houses right away.
Relocate to Chilpye.
How can we go to Chilpye so suddenly?
That place is a field with nothing, but stones.
This place is home for these people.
If they suddenly move to Chilpye, how are they to live and survive?
If they do not pack up right now, they will not be left alive.
Just know that.
You rascal!
Do you not fear the heavens?
Young Miss!
You're the daughter of a criminal? Who do you think you are?
I don't know how you avoided becoming a servant girl.
Still, you should know you're no longer the young miss of a noble household.
Isn't that right?
So, what are you all doing?
Pack up your belongings.
Get going to Chilpye!
I... I... won't go!
I can't go.
Whether I starve to death there or I die here, what's the difference?
- That is true. - Very true.
Just kill me here!
Should I?
Empty out all their houses now!
Yes, Sir!
Empty them all!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Young Miss, do you remember?
Before, the King...
he saved my brother-in-law from the Hanseongbu.
Yes, he did.
I was so happy back then.
I thought once the Crown Prince became King
things would get better.
Life won't be so unfair, I thought.
But, why?
Why are things becoming so much harder and harder?
Why?
Why must we be kicked out of our homes?
The King passed away.
Now, life has become even harder.
Life is so unfair. It really is.
It is so unfair.
Father.
You said some people need to be watered.
While some need to be weeded in order to grow sprouts.
Yes, I will do it.
I will protect these people.
Watch over me, Father.
Let's... go to Chilpye.
And if we do?
We can't even farm there.
What will we eat there?
Even if we do not farm, there are other ways to make a living.
Your Highness!
I saved you from the brink of death and you're going to get revenge?
If I had known you were so ignorant, I would not have saved you.
I lost everyone I cherished, thanks to Dae Mok.
If I do not kill Dae Mok, I might as well not even be alive.
Right now...
how are you any different than Dae Mok?
How can I protect the ones I cherish?
I told him to become a master.
Dae Mok became a wolf that everyone now fears.
My answer to you is the same.
I will tell you to become your own master.
Now, what will you do?
Will you kill Dae Mok with that sword and become a wolf that people fear?
Is that your revenge?
Did those people lose their lives for you so you could have revenge?
You think that is why they protected you?
Think about those who have sacrificed for you.
The revenge that they wanted...
would it be for you to merely kill Dae Mok?
What is this? There's nothing here.
Oh dear. How tiring.
Oh my.
Oh goodness.
I am so tired.
We will run a business here selling something.
A business?
Here in Chilpye...
it is the only passage from Mapo ferry to Seosomun.
If we do business here, I'm sure we will make money.
I trust in you, Young Miss.
What should we do first?
First, we need to build places to live.
Let's hurry up!
Stop dragging your feet!
Father.
Mother.
Forgive me for being unable to go see you right now.
I will gain strength and go to you once I have destroyed Dae Mok.
Please rest in peace until then.
Chung Woon, over there...
Lee Seon is there.
In my place...
Lee Seon is acting as a puppet King.
I must save him.
Lee Seon...
Joseon...
I will save them myself.
Will you help me?
You do not need to ask your guard for help.
You only need to tell me you will walk your path.
You must command me to protect you.
Look at this water!
Are you just going to leave?
I see that she is doing well.
That is enough.
Ga Eun's father...
died because of me.
The way she cried...
I cannot forget it.
Your Highness.
Ga Eun told me...
When she sees me...
she is reminded of her father.
She cannot be happy.
It is better that I do not approach her.
It is for Ga Eun's sake.
