Love in the Moonlight (구르미 그린 달빛)

You knew?

Yes.

Then, that time in the flower garden too...?

Were you mocking me while knowing everything?

Hong Sam Nom, she is at the palace now.

She was sold off to the roughnecks to settle a debt.

I'm sorry.

However, it is certainly not because I take you trivially.

At first I found it reprehensible, and then I was pleased,

and then after that... I couldn't bring myself to tell you...

While I was sitting still comfortably, you walked.

When I was walking, you were standing while holding

up the umbrella as if your arms would fall off.

When I am sitting on silk and you are on a dusty mat,

how can I tell you that I treasure you as a woman?

Since I am a eunuch who assists you,

is that not a given?

But it isn't something a man should do to his lover.

From now on, I will treat you as the most precious woman in the world.

I will block the wind for you and shield you from the sun's rays.

I will cherish you.

May I do that?

♬ It grew unnoticed ♬

♬ Did you perhaps sense that ♬

♬ I was anxious? ♬

♬ I was very afraid but I just hid it ♬

♬ If you call for my love ♬

♬ I will be brave. ♬

♬ Because you are embodied ♬

♬ in the petals which were frozen ♬

♬ In the blowing wind ♬

♬ On the day you come to me ♬

♬ I will live looking only at you so that ♬

♬ You won't brush past me ♬

Yes... You are right that I am a woman.

However...

I have never lived as a woman.

You can start living as one from now on.

No, I can't.

For being where I shouldn't be, for doing something I shouldn't have, I'm sorry.

- So that I no longer cause any trouble to Your Highness... - I'm not blaming you.

I'm blaming myself for not recognizing you sooner, so...

Your Highness,

since I have duties as a eunuch, I should go quickly.

Repentance Hall

From now on, I will treat you as the most precious woman in the world.

Yes... you are right that I am a woman.

However, I have never lived as a woman.

There is a rumor going around in the capital that Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter is alive.

If that is true, we must find her.

Before the Prime Minister at all costs.

We must find her before anyone else.

It will become a huge help to gathering the scattered forces.

Why are you like that? I like you, Hyung Kim.

Episode 9 The moment the latch of your heart is opened

Hyung Kim, are you worrying about something?

No.

I have a question.

Go ahead.

Before becoming a eunuch, what did you do?

You haven't heard about me? I was in a troop of travelling actors.

Before that?

I lived with my mother.

Your father?

I heard that he died, when I was very young.

I don't even know his name.

So the only person in my memory is my mother.

It must have been hard.

But why are you asking about the past all of a sudden?

Do you still...

like the palace?

Hong Sam Nom, you eat warm food and come here and then want to complain?

We have no time to waste since the Crown Prince has become very busy!

My apologies.

I thought you were lasting an awfully long time.

Why, can you not bear it any longer? Do you want to be reassigned?

Tsk! Are you telling a eunuch to leave his

position empty without His Highness' permission?

Then, I will try and fill that empty position.

May I also put my spoon carefully on the table? (GET IN ON THE ACTION)

You people just don't know, do you?

I heard that no one showed up at Poop Prince's first audience.

(DURING AN AUDIENCE, THE OFFICIALS (COURTIERS)

( reported the affairs of state to the ruler. )

See? What did I say?

Walking on a flower-strewn path for a Regent all depends

on how well you do or it can easily become a road to hell.

Did I or didn't I tell you that?

Hyung Seong!

Did you heart that?

Every one of your little actions are earning His Highness criticisms.

I will bear that in mind.

Your Highness, the examination that take place every three years is the only opportunity

for scholars who live outside of the capital to achieve fame and prestige.

Please allow us scholars to display our polished

talents by proceeding with the examination as planned!

Please consider!

These scholars have worked hard for this one examination. Do you not feel their anger?

Crown Prince, is there no way to appease them?

If we open a way for them, we need to open the door at the end of that road too.

How can you call an exam with internally

pre-determined successful candidates an opportunity?

Your Highness, please make a wise decision.

Your one-sided decision will determine the futures of hundreds of youths.

Eunuch Hong is nowhere to be found.

That is what I wish to say, Your Highness.

You have been treating him so well for a while, so how did you scold him that he's...

What? Did he say he doesn't want to come to the East Palace?

Yes.

He's spending his days elsewhere while taking on only difficult and laborious tasks.

So, where is he now?

Please hide! I will seek after counting to ten.

One.

Miss.

Have you run out of stationery?

I have brought them for you.

Are you playing hide-and-seek?

I will wait for you, so please hurry and hide.

I will seek now!

Princess Yeong On, please come out now.

Princess Yeong On, where are you?

Princess Yeong On!

I have heard from Eunuch Jang.

Are you trying to escape from me?

Yes.

What's the reason?

I am a sinner who has brought shame to the whole of the Eunuch Bureau.

How can I face Your Highness when you are aware of everything?

I have no confidence to do so.

Do you not understand?

That I wish you would come one step closer not as a eunuch, but as yourself.

Then using Your Highness' words, do you really not understand?

Someone as low as I am, someone who has broken the law by pretending to be a man,

If not as a eunuch, then as what can I stay by Your Highness' side?

That...

Miss! Miss! Miss!

Have you still not been able to find the Princess?

Yes... I have shouted countless times that I have lost and

that she should come out now, but she has not appeared.

Where did you last see her?

Miss! Miss! Miss!

Miss!

Princess Yeong On!

Miss.

Miss?

Miss! Miss, it's me! Eunuch Hong.

Princess Yeong On?

Miss! Princess!

Are you alright? Miss!

Not being able to call for help... She must have been terrified.

It's a relief that Eunuch Hong was able to find her in the end.

She used to talk endlessly like a lark. She used to be such a happy child.

This curse of not being able to speak is the most fustrating.

You at least taught her how to read,

so she has been able to smile and live like this.

3 years ago.

I'll only write it once, so look carefully and guess it.

This time, I'll write your favourite season.

Can she still not remember anything from that day?

She can not.

It must have been hard on her little body to win over that illness,

seeing how her memories were erased after the high fever subsided after a few days.

Yoon Seong.

Where are you going right now?

I'm on my way to enter the palace.

What? Enter the palace?

Everyone has emptied out the palace in order to teach the Crown Prince a lesson.

So what are you saying right now?

Therefore, I should at least go.

This punk!

Yoon Seong.

Did you feel pity for the Crown Prince who was your best friend?

I thought that His Highness's decision was correct.

Yes. At first, everyone thinks that the fair decision is the right one,

but the right decisions aren't the only things that allow the citizens to live well.

Honestly, I cannot agree.

How is our clan expanding our power of any help to the citizens?

Do you think everyone can prosper just because power is shared?

It'll only cause an unnecessary fight.

Politics isn't about becoming friends with the people.

The strong rules

And a coalition with the Minister of Rites and the

in-laws is another way to maintain that power?

Yes.

Please look for another way.

I do not want to enter such a marriage.

At the very least, I want to marry a woman who can understand both my words and my heart.

I'll take my leave now, Grandfather.

Since I frequent the book store so often,

last time, the Princess allowed me to borrow several books in the Palace's library.

You said you enjoyed reading, right?

But... to be honest, that isn't the entire reason

I enter the palace.

Pardon?

That person I told you about last time...

honestly, he's in this palace... very close to you.

He's the Crown Prince.

Why are you so silent?

Are you shocked?
