Episode 19

Who is that?

I am the King of Silla, Jin Heung.

Is this a dream?

How did you know to come here?

Wherever you may be, did you think I wouldn't be able to find you?

I won't send you anywhere anymore.

Please leave. I'll take care of this.

Don't you need to save her, Seon Woo?!

Why are you here?

Me? I came to protect them.

Don't you know who ordered me here?

Under whose command do you think I came?! And, you!

You keep speaking informally to me, but I've been eating the

palace guards' food for ten years longer than you have!

Get out of the way.

I have come under the command of Her Highness the Queen

Dowager to punish the impudent pretender to the throne.

You don't know who the false monarch is.

Because you serve a false monarch, you're confused as to who the real king is, right?

It's the true king's command to protect them.

It's a royal command, you rascal!

It is you who are disobeying the royal command.

Are you up to the task?

I'm going to start by killing you.

Chief guard, obey the royal command.

Your Highness!

Your daughter has become a Wonhwa.

A Wonhwa?

I shall make your son, no, my son, the king.

That child is Joon Jeong's son

Hwi Gyeong Gong's son, the sacred bone of Silla.

Wh-what is is this?

You must save her.

Take her in... inside!

Go.

I don't want to.

I'm saying this as this child's father and doctor!

Because you are a disturbance, leave.

This cannot be. Ah Ro, you must endure.

If something happens to you as well...

Please... please endure.

Make sure to eat. You must survive.

Don't get hurt. Now, I hope you won't get hurt.

I haven't even told you that I liked you because you weren't my brother.

Because this heart of mine is about to go crazy, because I hate myself so much,

I couldn't tell you that's why I acted so hatefully.

She narrowly escaped receiving a fatal wound.

What happened?

The Queen Dowager sent the chief guard to kill

me. She was hit by the arrow instead of me.

If I stay by her side, she'll keep being in danger.

Because she knows that the one who influences me is Ah Ro.

So what do you plan to do?

Being like this does not suit you.

So hurry and get up.

A guy like me,

thought it didn't matter whether I was born into this world or not.

After meeting you,

I was thankful for the first time for being born.

Because the reason I'm alive right now is you,

it's a relief.

I'm sorry. Also,

I really love you.

I will cover up the mistake you made.

You just need to stay put. Just like when no one knew what you looked like.

I will protect you. I will arrange for a detached palace for you to live in.

Stay there for now. I will shut the mouths of the Royal Council.

It is not a mistake.

If it is not a mistake, how can you ascend the throne without preparation?

Do you know what ultimately becomes of a king without power? A plaything!

Played around by the Royal Council. In the end, you will lose everything!

Losing the throne, you will also lose your life.

Will the sacred bone tradition end with your childish behavior?

I am already the king. The only thing that happened today was revealing that fact.

No. You're not a king.

You've only been under my shade with that justification.

Yes. I have been hiding under your shade.

I know very well that I'm alive thanks to you.

That shade was even comfortable, and there were times I even regarded it as fortunate.

However, living that way was not always pleasant.

Now, I came to let you know I will stand on my own.

In front of everyone without hiding my identity, I will deal with everything.

I came to create the future of Silla I dream of on my own!

You will regret it, most certainly.

That regret will also be my share to bear.

That is something I will handle.

You're here.

If you are my father...

My mother... I mean...

I must also have

a mother.

Well, was there someone like that?

Joon Jeong.

She was one of Silla's Wonhwa.

She was beautiful. She was an emminently virtuous

person who received the subjects' trust.

The Wonhwa was a threat to the weak royal family.

In addition, when she was a Wonhwa bearing the child

of a sacred bone, she was even more of a threat.

When it happened, you were the child she was bearing.

The baby is m-moving.

Ji So.

I'm still the same,

I was a Cheonin, then a half-breed,

now I'm a sacred bone. After so long.

Father.

I know it was difficult for you to live.

However, I won't say I'm sorry.

I had hoped that you would live freely without a

name or a care for things like being a prince.

That...

was the best option to protect you.

I watched over you for a long time. And now it's time.

Preparations to make you the King. There is no one in Silla stronger than you.

There is no one who understands the people as well as you. A new

king who will change the current and the future of chaotic Silla.

That person is you.

But then, where is the chief guard?

Mo Yeong. What about the tea? How much longer will it take?

Gakgan (PARK YEONG SIL) will not take this without making a scene.

Someone who doesn't know anything, with such recklessness

and childishness, wants to sit on the throne?

What kind of Silla will he create? How have I protected Sila.

Yee Chan. ( 17TH RANK, 2ND GRADE OFFICIAL).

Yes, Your Majesty.

There is something you must prepare.

Come in.

Isn't she the palace maid?

How is Ji So feeling?

Because she's been drinking tea laced with trace amounts of

poison for 10 years, symptoms are now starting to appear.

Her hands tremble, she has fainting spells, and she has hallucinations.

It would've been a done deal if we had just killed off Sam Maek Jong.

Had the faceless king died quietly while wandering outside the palace and

Ji So died from a chronic illness,

who would hold a revolt against me, Park Young Sil, from ascending the throne?

There is a way to kill Sam Maek Jong.

You called for me?

Is there... something the matter?

His Majesty Jin Heung has returned.

There is something you must do.

One moment, over there! Did you hear the news?

- The king has changed. - What are you talking about?

That faceless king. That king has changed.

What?

Ji Dwi is the king.

So you mean, Ji Dwi is the king?

According to my information source, for certain, he

already entered Wolseong and said "I am Jin Heung."

That fair-complexioned guy is the King? Then what is Dog-Bird?

That's what I mean.

So instead of Seon Woo, Ji Dwi is the real king?

This is why they say you need to observe a person till the very end.

- I don't remember. - What?

Was I nice to Ji Dwi all this time?

How regretful. I should've been nice to him.

That way, I'll be able to live comfortably without worrying for the rest of my life.

You dropped this.

Were you surprised because Seon Woo wasn't the real king?

What's with him?

Seonmoon's atmosphere is already disturbed as it is.

Poong Wol Joo, Poong Wol Joo!

Did you hear that Ji Dwi is His Majesty King Jin Heung?

Why shout and make so much noise?

By chance, did you already know—? Then you should've told me!

But, what are you doing right now?

I was fired. From being Poong Wol Joo.

What are you talking about? Instead of Seon Woo, they said that Ji Dwi was the king.

- It's a mess. - Aren't you affected by this at all?

You also thought that Dog-Bird was the real king.

He was believable as the king, that guy.

What's this? Why is Bu Jae coming into Poong Wol Joo's lecture?

From today, Poong Wol Joo has left Seonmoon.

So, there is no afternoon lecture on the Book of Odes.

Since it's a day off, you may leave Seonmoon.
