The King in Love (왕은 사랑한다)

What is the meaning of all this?

What is it?

Let me go, I'm Wang Jeon!

Father, why are these people like this!?

Please say something to them. Let go of me!

Shouldn't we know why we're being dragged away first?

Let go.

- Father… - Go inside. Hurry.

She is to become the Crown Princess. You shouldn't even dare to look at her!

Look here-

I said let go!

Stay here without moving an inch. We will be back.

Did you say she has indigestion? I'll bring a needle, so I can prick her finger.

No need. Give me this.

One or two pricks will do the trick.

I said go. I'll stay here.

Perhaps I should bring Master Wang. If he knew he would come running immediately.

Oh, are you alright? Here, have some water.

Are you really okay?

Rest a little bit.

Now that you've thrown it all up, you should feel better after some sleep.

You should put the blankets on properly. Get up for a bit.

Do you want to be alone or do you want me to stay with you?

I understand.

First you jump into another person's bed, and now you're kicking out the owner?

Sleep then. And don't you cry while you sleep.

You shouldn't cry. You cry once, then you begin to fall apart.

Is his highness here?

- Be quiet. - Lady Dan is here.

They said she ran here without a carriage and without any servants.

Your highness.

My father and my second brother have been arrested.

- The Susagong too? - Why?

What is it?

Did you see where the guards were from?

They were soldiers from Wonseong Palace.

I'll drop by.

Has my third brother been taken as well?

I can't find him.

- There's nothing for you to worry about. - I'm scared.

I'm really scared.

I told you I would look into it. Nothing will happen.

Let me go you punks!

Let go! Let go!

Let me go! Let me go!

Move!

Father…

Rin was 12 at the time.

What did the Susagong do then? You know he's innocent.

Please don't do this.

- Hadn't you asked me for my help? - Mother.

You said you wanted power, so I'm helping you.

Is it because of Dan?

You told me you will drag her down to prevent her from becoming the Crown Princess. Is this your plan?

If she becomes the Crown Princess, that family will become even more uncontrollable.

- I chose her. - You chose wrong.

- Mother will right the wrongs. - I will do it myself.

You can't

You can live if their sons, Wang Jeon and Wang Rin disappears. Can you do that?

Mother. It's Rin. My friend, my Rin!

Open your eyes.

Even if Rin himself didn't want to, the world won't leave him be.

This is all for you Crown Prince.

You have always been this way, that this is all for me.

You cast out the original queen of this land, and her son - my brother-

- Who is your brother? - You cast my brother out to a Buddhist temple,

and you told me to be wary of my father and hate him, and that it was all for me.

And that is precisely how you are still alive and standing before me!

I hold the rights of the king at this moment.

The reason why I dropped by here first, was to honor your pride and image.

But, it seems there is no need. I'll take this into my own hands.

Do you really want Wang Rin to die?

Why, will you be sending assassins his way once I release him?

I'm pondering on it.

I guess you said he is your friend, so I would need to spare him his life at least.

In the future, you will come to thank me.

Yes, you will.

This is my first time in this room.

Please take a seat. I'll bring out some tea.

This place…it's where the Crown Prince usually stays right?

- Yes. - I don't like it.

- What? - My family is in trouble but,

all I'm thinking about is how this isn't your first time here.

And that your hair is messy so perhaps you slept here,

I don't like it. I'm having such thoughts.

I don't like myself like this.

His highness treats me with ease. As if I were his male friend.

Did my second brother do something despicable to your family?

That's why he was taken right?

Just how despicable was the thing he did?

Did he…

…kill people?

Can you not forgive him?

- I'll go bring the tea. - The fact that my third brother loves you…

You're aware of it right?

Even if it's just for his sake.

Please give your forgiveness Miss San.

I'm not sure if this tea is alright for the Crown Princess to be.

What are you doing? Go and take it to her.

Your second brother,

I thought of killing him myself.

To kill him and go somewhere far away.

I was going to leave it at that for the sake of Master Rin!

You should be thankful that I was willing to leave it at that, what more do you need from me?!

- Miss San… - Yes, your right.

He killed people. A lot of people.

That's how my mother passed away.

The ones to give forgiveness should be them! What am I supposed to do!?

You cannot dare to treat royalty in this manner.

Tying up royalty - what horror is this?

You shouldn't dare. How could you humiliate us like this?!

Quiet down.

Father. Please summon all the court officials and ministers.

If they're going to frame us, please tell them to at least ask us questions!

Behave as a nobleman should.

Where is that friend of yours, the Crown Prince?

Now that the has caught the rabbits, he's leaving his hound dog to die? He's abandoned you?

They were told to tie them up and not give them even one sip of water. They've tied them up at the investigation bureau, and yet they haven't been questioned on anything.

Aren't you going to do something?

What should I do?

Now you have all the authority of a king.

One sentence is all it takes. "Release them at once."

What took you so long to come?

He was waiting and was just about to leave.

He left? Where to?

Here.

My child, the culprit has been caught.

I've been told to go to the palace with you at once.

Who?

Her Majesty the Queen has called for you immediately.

In interrogation of the criminals, those who suffered as victims

should come and testify, is what she said.

Such a beautiful daughter and yet you couldn't even keep her by your side.

I heard about the plight of you having to send her far away.

I am sorry, Your Highness.

It was a royalty who coveted your daughter and committed such wickedness.

So you would've had no way out.

Even when your wife was murdered, you had nowhere to express your grudge.

It is true my wife died a long time ago.

It will finally come to light now after a witness has been secured.

But the witness is lowly in status.

So it's not sufficient to indict a crime on a royalty.

Some will argue that way, won't they, child?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You will need to be the witness.

By witness, you mean, how...

You must have seen the assassins personally back then.

Yes…

And you saw that those assassins and Wang Jeon were on the same side too.

- What I saw was… - You must've seen it.

The assassin at the time already confessed that it was Wang Jeon who commissioned him personally.

But…

That's different to what you said last time.

Last time?

What did I say then?

You said that assassin and my brother...

recognized each other, you said, didn't you?

You said they met each other's eyes and acknowledged each other.

That the assassins and Wang Jeon were on one side.

You saw it clearly.

Your Majesty. At that time, my daughter was so young and was under a lot of shock…

This problem does not only involve your household, Minister Eun.

It is an incident where the House of Susagong, which is a royal family, plotted a rebellion and went after your assets.

That is why, my child, you will have to reveal the truth for this nation's Crown Prince.

Give me your hand.

How wretchedly painful it must have been for such a young child to watch her mother die in front of her.

Your mother must not be able to leave your side either.

You need to let your mother go

and send her to the heavens.

Father. What do we do?

It seems they will be starting the interrogations.

Just tell them the truth, as is.

Then what will happen to me?

You will be punished.

Rin… do something!

Brother.

Stop.

Go ahead first.

I was a step late.

I was in the middle of doing a separate investigation on your mother's case.

I was finding evidence to show Song In was behind it.

But I never expected Her Majesty to step in like this.

She is planning to pull Rin's family out by the roots with this opportunity.

Royal Mother is using your mother's case.

She asked you to make a false testimony. So will you?

Look at me!

What if… they aren't lies?

It was Wang Jeon who said to kill my mother.

San.

Then he'll need to pay the price!

Then Rin will pay the price too.

Master Rin also knew.

He knew that his brother killed my mother.

- No, he didn't. - He knew!

He was only suspicious of him.

He deceived me.

It's different.

He couldn't say it, because he knew it would obviously come to this.

If Rin's brother is convicted, Rin will get hurt along with his brother. Their sister as well.

What of it?
