The King in Love (왕은 사랑한다)

Both Eun San and Wang Rin will be in the funeral procession.

You must not miss either.

Capture them before the Crown Prince suspects what's afoot.

If there is any resistance,

kill them.

We should grab them once they've gone past the streets. The Minister was highly favored by the people

and if we were to grab them now, there will be absolute chaos.

Wait for them. Then surround them once the procession arrives at the location.

I will personally arrest them.

It's obvious what the Queen will do.

It's not too late… don't let a strand of his hair get hurt. Bring Rin here.

He's the child who will soon be crown prince.

We are getting her before she can leave the streets.

Let's go.

Keep going.

My leg.

Why did you push me?

Why did you push me? Why?

- Where are you going? - Let me go. Damn.

- Where did you you hide her? - "I ran into Wonseong Palace troops in the streets."

"As soon as I saw them, they asked me where I hid her."

So I can just report that to the Crown Prince then?

What are you talking about? They both disappeared?

What?

You two helped them, I heard. Tell me all the details.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Highness the Crown Prince.

It makes no sense though. How does the girl who is sending off her father to the grave go off disappearing in the middle of it?

- He said there wouldn't be any chance if she went all the way to the site. - A chance to what?

Because there would be those after her.

He said just that there.

They will let her carry out the funeral due to people watching.

But I can't be assured.

What do we need to do to help?

Stop the men who would come with swords during the procession.

And I helped with the blocking of the Wonseong Palace troops while they hustled around holding swords.

The swordsman. The one who told me to steal the arrow.

The guy in black was clucking around there so I tried to block him too...

Your grace is immeasurable.

Did San agree to it too?

To flee like that before she even escort her father to the burial site?

She already gathered all the members of the household last night to give instructions.

I don't know what fault they'll pick at to come after the rest of us.

But soon, those who covet our assets will come seeking us.

If my father or I were to become framed for various crimes,

harm will befall all of you as you are part of our household.

Confess to crimes that don't exist. Report the whereabouts of those who are missing.

They will use torture on you.

You will be given ample amounts of journey money.

We've set up places to stay for you for the time being all over the nation.

Tomorrow on our way escorting my father out,

all of you need to leave.

May you all be safe.

I said I would escort her, but she did not listen.

And then she left? Where to?

She did not say. Though, since Young Master Rin is with her, I find assurance in it.

But when will they marry?

- Shut your mouth. - How long do they wait until after the funeral?

What is this dog jibberish, punk?

I asked if it's okay for a bachelor and a maid to go together alone like that and he said...

That ahjussi said, "since they are betrothed, it's alright."

There will be a feast when they marry so we can eat...

As I know it, the two lords had already agreed on the matter.

- Two lords? - My Lord and Lord Susagong, about marriage.

Wasn't the talk of two families marrying already a dead matter? Why would they bring that up again...

No, this time it was for the third son, Young Master Wang Rin.

And that became my lord's last wish, in the end.

- Jang Ui? - He's not seen.

He followed the horse carriage.

I told him the two were inside the carriage.

A carriage is easily seen so I said, if he can follow it...

Follow what? Without reporting to me first?

He said he had something he must deliver to Young Master Rin.

So before he delivered it, he couldn't return no matter what.

This is driving me nuts.

Rin, that fool.

So this is all he could come up with? Just run first?

And do what next?

That fellow who doesn't know any strategies.

Strategies are something someone like me uses. So he should've came to me.

I would've taken care of everything for him.

Be it a tough number or a wicked number, I would've written them all for him.

Go where? And do what by himself?

There won't be that marriage you are looking forward to.

Why? Because that ignorant and loyal Rin is currently

guarding my woman.

- What? - Where's the owner of the carriage?

Scram! Who are you?

Where did he go?

You scared me! How could you walk so quietly?

I went to the house and no one was there.

It's chaos at home. How did you know I was here?

I was looking for you.

I kept looking for you too.

- I was worried I'd never see you again if I left like that. - Where are you going?

Ahjusshi is going to Ganghwa Island for a while.

It's a long story. He's waiting for me right now.

Ganghwa Island?

It's too far for you to visit, right?

Is the Lady of your household there?

She went somewhere else.

Where?

- To the east. - East where?

She was going to board a ship from Byeokran Crossing at first,

but she felt nervous about that, so she's going to board a ship from the Eastern Sea.

That's what I heard.

What are you doing? Give it back!

People are looking!

When I am fine with it,

why would you care about what others may think?

The sun is about to set, but I see no human dwellings anywhere.

The night dew will be cold still.

I think around there. There should be a place to evade the rain.

Have you taken this path before?

A couple of times with my father.

You can tell me more about your father.

I'll listen.

- Even if it's boring? - Even if it's boring.

- Even if it is very long? - Even if it's long, I'll listen.

Father left frequently.

Every corner of the whole nation, and all over the world.

My father has lots of assets, so he needed to make his rounds.

He took me a few times,

and I would call him, 'my lordship' when others would be around.

Since I'm a maidservant. But when no one would be around,

If I called him my master,

father would say, "What? What did you say?"

Like that.

Then I would pass by him and whisper "Father."

And he loved that so much.

While I was so anxious that others might see us.

Your Highness, what took you so long?

Her Highness has been waiting for you.

Your Highness, please.

Please think of the Crown Prince Consort who's in the detached palace (for consort of heir apparent).

If you avoid her, the fire will jump to that palace.

What are you doing here?

Is this your rebellion?

Take back the wedding order.

The Crown Prince's marriage is under my supervision, as the chief of the Inner Palace. Furthermore-

Please stop it now.

Stop any further plotting. and don't harm any more innocent lives.

Please stop it now.

Crown Prince.

Haven't you got it yet?

All these strategies you've done for my sake,

all your efforts… just how lonely they've made me.

Do you still not get it?

Everything I have done thus far…

Was to keep me alive?

No, it was to save yourself.

Living each day, day after day was such a bore for you,

so you've treated me as your toy.

As you sought for the taste of living day after day.

Am I wrong?

Don't touch Dan, Crown Prince consort who's in the Detached Palace.

I won't stay still.

The rumors are rampant all over the country, I hear.

That the discord between the Queen and the Crown Prince is so grave.

Your Majesty.

It's time to return to the palace.

The Crown Prince has a wedding.

Is the Crown Prince still alive?

He's about to get married soon.

Why do you think that child hates me?

Does he?

He smiled a lot when he was a kid.

He picked himself up when he fell.

He smiled even after he heard a scolding from his mother.

I also smiled a lot when I looked at that child.

But…

why does he hate me?

He fears you.

Do you think his mother made that so?

"Hate him. Hate your father. That is the only way you'll live."

Or did you guys whisper that to us?

To my ears? "Your Majesty's son is ..."

"He hates Your Majesty. He loathes you."

"He wants to kill you."

How could you say such a terrible thing?

That child said so.

The child whom my son cherishes said it to my face.

She said, "How could a father not believe his own son?"

"What kind of a father would do that?"

Your Majesty.

Is the Crown Prince still alive?

Rest a bit more.

A bit more.

If we can block the chills coming from below, we should be able to sleep here.

It's alcohol.

Yes. I noticed that you fall asleep more easily when you're drunk, so I packed some.

Me? You're wrong.

It's true.

Did your father also like to drink?

He did, but wasn't a big drinker.

Then, should we pour him just one glass?

Father.

I'm sorry I could not escort you to the burial site.

This is alcohol that Master Rin brought.

Though it's not a premium in quality, it is drinkable enough.

Have a glass.
