EPISODE 18

Hey.

Wait!

Go!

Stop! Hold on!

Why?

Did the King come to see me while I was sleeping?

Yes, Your Highness.

It wasn't a dream then.

Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?

As if he's being chased.

The uprising of the rebel army is getting quite serious.

Even still, that seems a bit...

Do not worry, Your Highness.

Yes. The King will return soon.

Okay.

There must be a reason why he's leaving in such a hurry.

He's just going to check on them and come back soon.

It's better for him to finish his job quickly...

rather than wait for me to come all the way down to say goodbye.

That's why he left without a word.

The owner of that seat is changing now.

You could have taken care of it at once.

It was possible because the Queen made her decision.

The Queen?

She has chosen her family...

over the King for the sake of her baby.

If that is the case, I should accept the Queen again...

for the sake of the heir to the throne.

I will ensure that you will not have to fight for your power again.

You should give up.

I'd like some more of this.

Are you sure you are not eating too much?

Humans are an adaptive species.

It was bland and subtle,

but now I can taste the natural flavors of the ingredients.

I don't get tired of it no matter how much I eat.

Rather, the more I eat, the hungrier I get.

This little thing eats so much.

Fine. I'll stop eating.

I'm really fine. Why do you keep looking at me like that?

I should go on a walk to digest.

Let me have some more of this first.

The weather is insane.

This kind of view needs to be photographed and posted.

It is not too late for me...

to understand you.

Let us do as you said.

No touching.

You truly are my anti-fan.

I was very concerned, but I have figured out a way now.

So don't like me.

But I still like you.

Even if you have more flaws than anybody else in the world,

I still like you.

Oh, my. All the memories are coming back.

This won't do. This place is too dangerous.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

I was almost in trouble.

The lake is is too crucial.

Then, today is our first day.

Let's form an alliance.

Okay.

Starting now, the no-touching rule does not apply between us.

Darn it.

Every part of this palace is a minefield of memories.

Why is the Palace so empty today?

Why is it so big for no reason?

EPISODE 18, THE COUNTERATTACK OF MEMORIES

Your Highness.

Your Highness, the Minister of War is here.

I went to Daejojeon Hall, but you were not there.

Did something happen to the King?

No.

You're bleeding.

Did you get hurt?

It is nothing a but a small injury that I got during training.

It is late, but I came to congratulate you on your pregnancy.

Thank you.

What do you think about making amends with the clan...

for the sake of your baby?

I'm pretty sure we finished talking about that last time.

It does not matter if you let go of my hand.

However, you should not be too isolated.

You already know...

that this Palace is not an easy place to live alone.

Thanks for your advice, but I'm not alone.

I'm pretty sure you know that too.

If you need someone to help you,

you can grab my hand at any time.

I will put everything on the line...

to protect you and your baby.

The sighs and resentment of the people have grown recently.

It just so happens that it has arrived at this behavior,

so I have left the royal throne to see for myself.

The nation's affairs are important, so while I am gone,

follow the decisions made by the Grand Queen Dowager.

This is the King's command.

In order to fill the King's spot and handle political affairs properly,

I will change the personnel.

The former Left State Councilor,

Kim Seok Geun, will return to his post,

and the former Minister of War, Kim Chang Hyup,

will become the Royal Guard Commander.

The current Royal Guard Commander, Prince Yeongpyeong,

will focus on his duties as the commissioner of Ijungchung.

The King has gone on a rough path.

If anyone tries to ruin the King's reputation with strange rumors,

I guarantee that their tongue will not be safe.

My baby.

You're really cute.

Do everything...

that you want to do.

Nothing is better than calligraphy when you're feeling restless.

My baby. Do you miss your dad too?

Say "Daddy, please come back soon."

I think it just kicked. Did it answer me?

Isn't it too early to feel fetal movement?

It's too early.

Is he a genius?

Oh my gosh. My baby must be a genius!

Why am I making such a fuss?

Your Highness.

I just had a really bad feeling.

A bad feeling that I'll become a fastidious parent...

who is a mix of a doting dad an overprotective mom.

Your baby is very precious.

No matter how fastidious you are, it would not be enough.

I am sure that your baby will be just like you...

Why would you say something so foreboding?

But...

Why is my baby becoming like me foreboding?

It is time for you to take your medicine, Your Highness.

Drink up.

Good job.

Her Highness said "my baby".

Good job.

What did they put in the medicine?

Is it medicine to prevent dementia, not miscarriages?

It's like I had chongmyungtang. I can't stop thinking.

I can't sleep because I'm being hit with a whirlwind of memories.

His name is Cheoljong, so I'll stitch in CJ.

Did you really finish this in one night?

I wondered why people did embroidery.

When I keep my hands busy, I don't think about anything.

It's nice.

You have amazing embroidery skills.

How beautiful.

This silk is from Jinju, Gyeongsang Province.

I thought wearing this as a scarf...

on a cold day like this would be perfect.

I am sure His Majesty will be happy with that.

No, this is for me.

My body feels stiff because I've been sitting down too long.

Do you want to play some fun games?

- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.

HEAD EUNUCH

I got it. The King.

Over there.

Head Eunuch?

Right. It's the King whom Head Eunuch serves.

The answer is Head Eunuch.

Is that so? I didn't see that.

Next.

TIGER

The King!

MONKEY

The King.

RABBIT

The King.

DOG

This is way too easy.

He's pitiful like an abandoned dog.

The King?

Your Highness.

Do you miss him that much?

You had a great relationship with him.

My gosh, that's not it. Don't overreact.

Gosh. What?

This isn't fun. Give me back my needle and thread.

Your Highness, are you all right?

No.

I'm not all right.

It hurts so much.

How can this tiny needle hurt so much?

This is all because of my hormones.

Now that I'm pregnant,

I easily worry. And I have a lot on my mind.

I cry a lot as well.

It's not coming from me.

It's the hormones.

I feel so much pain in my heart.

My gosh. It feels like the needle carved out my heart.

Your Highness.

Oh, no.

What's wrong with me?

We are still looking for the body.

Please give me some time.
