Your Highness.

It was just a hawk.

I wonder why I'm not able to spot a deer.

What's wrong, Your Highness?

Are you not feeling well?

No, I'm fine.

You go that way.

This isn't my bow.

I swear I wasn't the one who shot the arrow.

It wasn't me. I didn't do it.

If you didn't do it,

then was it a ghost?

Your Highness.

I...

I came because of the secret letter you sent.

What?

You sent my father a secret letter.

Who is your father?

His name is Min Ho-seung of Gaesong.

His son Min Yun-jae died with this father.

So who are you?

I'm assuming you're his daughter

Min Jae-yi.

Murderer Min Jae-yi.

Not only did you kill your entire family,

but you shot an arrow at the prince of this country.

No, Your Highness.

It wasn't me.

And

I never sent a secret letter

to your father.

I would not dare to lie to you, Your Highness.

You sent a secret letter

along with the wedding present

and I saw it with my own two eyes.

Your Highness.

There comes Seong-on,

your fiancé you betrayed.

Is he the one who shot an arrow at you?

Your Highness, it wasn't me.

I was just assigned to the hunting grounds as a chaser.

I never even brought a bow with me.

I swear.

Check that bow and quiver.

I still have questions for him.

What is your name and affiliation?

I'm Jang Chi-su, a special royal bodyguard of Chumgmu.

JANG CHI-SU

Jang Chi-su.

Born in the year of rat, affiliated with the Chungmu division.

Height is five cheok and half.

Your height can't be five cheok and half.

His Highness has the military register memorized.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

I heard they give one sack of barley every month

to those who are selected to be in the Five Miliatry Commands,

so I lied about my height.

I think he lied because he needed the job.

Yes, Your Highness. I'm the only abled body in my family.

Then take off your clothes.

Pardon?

He hurt his arm because of me.

If it's serious, we should call the royal physician.

Your Highness,

there is no need. It's just a scratch.

I want to see for myself.

Bring him to my barracks.

Follow me.

EPISODE 2

Did His Highness really catch all this?

It seems like His Highness was

letting the rumors spread on purpose.

He proved that the rumor was false in front of everyone.

The rumors

regarding His Highness will die down now.

Your Highness, since the deer for the sacrifice has been prepared,

you have to write a prayer that's suitable.

This is the water we received from the Office of Taoism.

A GOVERNMENT OFFICE RESPONSIBLE FOR

OFFERING SACRIFICES TO TAOIST GODS AND STARS IN THE SKY

Is writing all I have left to do?

What do you mean, Your Highness?

I'm asking because it seems like I have to pass your test

to keep my place as crown prince.

Your Highness, that is preposterous.

How would we dare

to give you a test?

Right.

They say being a crown prince is a blessing for many years to come.

So I was very upset that people were talking about

if I was qualified after getting shot by an arrow.

But today must be the last time

for me to have to

prove myself.

Your handwriting is still superb, Your Highness.

Did you just lie about your height?

Then do not worry too much.

He won't punish you that severely.

What in the world...

Blood...

You're bleeding, Your Highness!

Your Highness!

-Your Highness, are you hurt? -No, I'm not.

Bring me some water to rinse this off.

Bring His Highness some water!

How can something like that happen unless it's a ghost playing tricks?

How dare you say something so irreverent? A ghost playing tricks?

You don't have a scratch on you.

Where did the blood come from?

Is the one who's been trying to make

a fool out of me one of them?

Section Chief Han Seong-on!

Yes, Your Highness.

Check every servant and soldier's clothes

under the chief officials.

Report back to me straight away if you find anything suspicious.

Yes, Your Highness.

Once you're done checking the first row,

have them turn around and check the next row.

Yes, My Lord.

Everyone under the chief officials stand in line for inspection.

What are you doing over here?

First row, check.

Check.

Section Chief Han Seong-on.

-What's wrong? -We're in trouble, My Lady.

Is he ugly?

I'll check one more time and let you know.

Oh dear.

When it comes to men, looks are very important for My Lady.

Shoulde is also important.

Of course, My Lady.

I hope he has broad shoulder...

Is it okay

if his nose is slightly crooked?

-His nose is crooked? -Yes.

He has two nostrils,

but that's it.

What do we do?

Oh no.

He is totally a manly man!

Oh my!

His shoulder is broad

and his eyebrows are like a drawing

and his nose bridge and cheek are perfectly balanced.

And look at his thick lower lip.

My Lady.

I have never seen anyone

more handsome than him in Joseon.

But My Lady,

a man's look only lasts for three years at the most.

Father guarantees that he has a great personality.

What do you think? Do we look good together?

Well... It's a bit...

You look so cute together.

He's handsome, isn't he?

Yes, My Lady.

What do I do?

I don't care who it may be.

Just take me away...

You come with me.

Tae-gang, come over here.

Yes, Your Highness.

Guard the barracks with the soldiers who passed the inspection.

Do not let anyone come in.

Yes, Your Highness.

-You follow me. -Yes, Your Highness.

Since I've bled in front of everyone, even if

this water is poisoned, it won't be the strangest thing that happened today.

Would you like to drink it?

Yes, Your Majesty.

It's refreshing.

Bad things have been happening

ever since I met you.

Wasn't killing your entire family not enough?

Are you after the crown prince as well?

No, Your Highness.

You shot an arrow at me,

tarnished the written prayer

in front of everyone and disdained the Crown Prince.

I didn't do anything.

Your Highness, please just hear me out...

Tae-gang, are you out there?

Arrest him immediately.

Yes, Your Highness.

-Is anyone out there? -Yes, sir.

Is he the one who tarnished the written prayer?

He is a prime suspect.
