Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (달의 연인 - 보보경심 려)

She is my wife's cousin.

She has nothing to do with this,

so let her go.

I lost the assassin because of her.

Then, are you insisting on spilling blood for no reason?

I... I had only lost my way.

Please believe me.

Why should I?

I don't know you.

So.

The palace guards are everywhere. They will catch another assassin.

Then you will know she has done nothing wrong.

Until then, for my sake...

let her go.

Are you all right?

Over there... there are many people.

They are all dead.

Dead?

They are all wearing those masks.

I should never have had the 4th Prince stand in my place.

He made his own choice to do this.

There is no need for you to feel sorry, Crown Prince.

Do not say such things.

I have put my brother in danger. If that is not wrong, what is?

He got injured, as well.

- Search the area now. - Yes!

What is it that you saw?

Did the dead get up and walk away on their own?

It was definitely here.

I know I'm right. They were stabbed from behind.

It was right about here.

- Where did they all go? - They were killed?

By whom?

- Tell me who it was. - How am I supposed to know?

There was definitely a gang of assassins.

The leader of the assassin gang killed off his own group.

It wasn't the palace guards?

Did you get any reports?

Seeing as how he took the bodies, they planned this out very well.

That man was our very last witness.

He has died without a trace now. What do you plan on doing?

Still...

I could not let Soo get hurt.

Once it gets bright out, I will look for tracks.

Let's get you treated for now.

It's done now. Let's go back.

He's always saying he'll kill me.

Every time I see him, he says that he's going to kill me.

I was only going to return something that he left behind.

Soo.

It's going to be okay.

Oh my.

What if he really kills me?

He told that man to kill me before, too. He just said to kill me.

He must have no tears or blood at all.

What did I ever do wrong?

Soo, everything will be fine.

That's enough now, Soo. It's all okay.

Stop now, okay?

Stop crying now and let's go home.

It's okay.

Where is the Crown Prince?

I am here, Your Majesty.

So.

Everything was ruined because he got involved.

We should've been congratulating you on becoming Crown Prince tonight.

We neatly tidied things up.

There are no assassins who are still alive.

The king will be unable to abdicate his throne for the time being.

Let's be satisfied with that.

I am surprised that So stood in place of the Crown Prince.

Choi Ji Mong is also difficult to predict.

The two of them most definitely have a relationship that no one knows about.

It's just as Jung said.

So must have learned martial arts.

The Kangs would not have taught him.

I need to know who he has met and what card he has up his sleeve.

Maybe if Choi Ji Mong is connected...

it could mean that the king is connected.

However, they say that no one ever went to see him while he was in Shinju.

Keep a closer eye on him.

We should know what he is thinking in order to chase him out or make him ours.

Do not forget.

Goryeo must belong to one of my sons.

This is not a job for you.

It is not something a servant can do either.

How long do you plan on staying in Shinju?

It would be good if you stayed in Songak like the others

and learned from the teachers.

I'm different than Wook.

I prefer to live catching animals in the mountains.

You've become adept at hiding your inner thoughts.

That's good enough.

Make yourself comfortable and get treatment.

I'll let the servants know.

Yeon Hwa.

I have often wondered what kind of woman you had grown up to be.

What would you have done if you had gotten seriously injured?

And why?

Why were you in that forest?

Well, the thing is...

I got lost.

They were people trying to kill the Crown Prince.

- It's a relief she's alive. - That's what I'm saying!

I felt that I was very lucky for the first time today.

The fact that I only got hurt this much is like a miracle.

Are you serious?

- Go and rest. - Okay.

I'm not finished yet.

Thank you for saving Soo.

I apologize for always being a burden to you, Your Highness.

What do you mean burden?

I have never thought of her that way.

In fact, she is a source of happiness.

She makes you happy?

This a very heavy household, is it not?

When people come to me, they are always speaking of hardships.

They want so much from me.

But Soo is not like that.

She steps up to say she will do everything on her own.

It makes me happy to see that.

It is a breath of fresh air.

I wait until I can see her again.

I am thankful that you care so much for Soo.

Stop right there.

What is it?

What now?

I really told you everything I know.

I was busy running away. What more could I have seen?

People with swords stabbed the people with masks from behind.

It was all of a sudden.

Almost as if... as if they had planned it beforehand.

Think harder. Remember everything.

Do it now!

That is enough now.

Fur outfit.

Everyone was wearing black clothes.

There was one man wearing fur.

He told them all to kill them.

Did you see his face? What did he look like?

I didn't see his face.

He was definitely their leader.

That's how it seemed.

Who else knows about this?

No one else is bothering me besides you.

Forget everything you saw in the forest.

Forget that man.

Yes, Hae Soo. He is right.

You will only be safe if no one finds out that you saw.

Then, can I leave now?

You.

Don't show up in front of me again.

What did I do wrong?

You told him to kill me.

You even said you'd kill me yourself.

Then, am I supposed to do nothing?

I should do whatever I can to live. Am I supposed to just die?

Soo.

Is it a crime... to want to live?

Everyone wants to live.

Why are you picking on me?

You terrible jerk!

I think it would be best to leave the lights on and sleep.

You went through something scary, so it will help ease your dreams.

Are you okay, Prince Wook?

Me?

Yes, you.

Because of me...

you killed a man.

I'm worried that you might have a bad dream.

You might get post-traumatic stress or something.

I can't get bad dreams every time something like this happens.

How difficult would that be?

Are you saying this happens often?

Then, you kill people...

I was 11 years old.

When I first took a life...

I was 11 years old.

A thief entered our quarters where Yeon Hwa and my mother were.

Just like before...

I used my dagger.

However, I did not have any nightmares.

I protected my family with my own hands.

I was happy.

I was proud.

If a prince can't even do that, then what good is he?

You still remember it though.

You can't forget it, so how can you be comfortable with it?

It's obvious you are just holding it in and living with it.

It is the burden I was born with, so I will have to endure it.

I won't latch on to you, so don't worry.

What?

I shouldn't weigh you down so that you can live lightly.

So, you don't need to worry about me.

I can live very well on my own.

You lost your memory.

Now it's been replaced by a lot of false courage.

By the way...

What is this stre... stress?

The Crown Prince was attacked in the palace and in front of me, at that.
