The Night Watchman (야경꾼 일지)

Episode 2

I can do it, my Queen.

It's fine.

You don't look very well, my Queen. I'm worried that you might collapse too.

She's very kind.

She cares about the Prince so much.

The only thing she talks about at home is about the Prince's health!

She doesn't even sleep well these days from worrying so much about him.

Is that so?

Queen Dowager, my Queen.

What's going on right now?

Who gave you the permission to see the Prince in such a state?

I apologize, Your Royal Highness.

I just wanted to see if there's anything I can help with...

Forget it.

I apologize, Your Royal Highness.

I'm concerned that your health might deteriorate from nursing the Prince.

I don't care about my health.

If I can save the Prince by giving away my own life, I'll be more than glad to do so.

The Prince should recover soon so he can become the Crown Prince and get married.

Prince Kisan should get married first.

Prince Kisan?

She's very pretty. How old are you?

Nine, Your Royal Highness.

Is that so?

I heard you received a letter from our King.

I heard from his Chief Treasury Guard.

He'll be done with his tour by Wednesday and start making his way back.

I see.

But his Chief Treasury Guard is the one responsible for guarding the King's Treasury.

The King likes that man.

I believe he was chosen to go on this tour because he's a very skilled swordsman.

I see...

I was hoping to talk to the Prince.

My innocent Prince is suffering because of bad ghosts.

Do you still believe in ghosts?

You shall never speak of anything like that in front of Queen Dowager!

She is the most important person in your life right now.

Even more important than your father here!

But I saw it with my own eyes! I also saw some guy saving the Prince!

Nonsense!

He was in that uniform.

Those are the Treasury Guards.

Are you sure you saw someone in that uniform during the chaos?

I need the list of all names of the Treasury Guards

and the record of all people who entered the Treasury recently.

Yes, sir.

Pretty, aren't they?

The Millennial Flower looks something like these.

So people often get confused.

What's happening with that?

Don't worry! My sister is the best shaman of my tribe.

Put your trust in her!

What's your name?

It's Do Ha, sister of Yeon Ha.

That's camellia, isn't it?

My Queen gave it to me. She must be waiting for me day and night.

Both Rin and the Queen...

The Prince will be cured. He has a brave father like you protecting him!

I wish I had a father like you.

My King, there's news from the Mago Tribe.

They're bringing the Millennial Flower.

My King!

I'll give it to him later.

My King.

Have you done it?

Yes, my King.

Well done. Very well done!

So this is it...

Your prayers will cure the Prince's illness.

He's getting better, my Queen.

- Is it truly so? - Yes, my Queen.

I'm so proud of you, Rin. You've fought well.

All you need to do now is get up before the King gets here.

You can do it, right?

The King will be so thrilled to know!

My King...

Mother...

Rin!

Where are you going?

The Treasury, sir. Please step aside per the King's orders.

Nonsense. The Royal Guards were not informed of such a thing.

What is that?

Don't ask too many questions. Just step aside.

Quite suspicious.

What is this?

My King...

Their mouths will cause trouble. Get rid of them.

But my King... They were just carrying out their duties.

I did not ask for your opinion.

I heard you got a lot better. I prayed for your recovery every day!

Thank you...

I'll help with your studies once you fully recover!

I guess I'll have to remain sick for longer then!

The King returned to the palace last night.

What? Father's back? Is it true?

Of course it's true! He came back very late last night.

I need to see my father.

You shouldn't. You should lie down.

No, I should go.

I have returned.

Well done, my King. I heard you achieved a lot during your tour.

I heard that you got the precious thing for the Prince that you were looking for?

Yes.

How great!

I also heard that you brought back something very big.

Would you mind showing it to your mother?

It's just a big rock that I got to remember Mount Baekdu.

It wouldn't be worthy of your time.

Is that so?

Then I guess I'm not in a hurry to see it.

You've finally returned, and the Prince has recovered quite a lot.

I believe we're now ready to elevate him to be the Crown Prince.

Thank you for your hard work.

The King has safely returned thanks to your prayers.

My King!

I'm so relieved that you're home safely. I heard about your return in the morning.

Why did you not send me any letters during the tour?

Letters...

I assume there were many men who tried their best to please you while I was gone.

I don't think you were particularly looking forward to my letters.

Pardon, my King? I don't understand...

Why, are you upset because I'm talking about your behavior?

I was just kidding! Don't be so serious.

It was too much for me, my King.

You're denying it quite strongly.

You're making me curious about how you behaved while I was gone.

My King!

What is that?

What is it, my Prince?

That!

It's gone.

You're scaring me!

You!

Did you just scream at me?

Nonsense, my Prince.

This part of the palace is said to be haunted by a baby ghost.

It's a bit scary. Let's go.

Was I mistaken?

Now that you've returned victorious

I believe it's time for the Crowning Ceremony for the Prince.

I recommend the Defense Minister to be in charge of the ceremony.

You may be in charge.

My King, I'm concerned about one thing as someone who's in charge of the ceremony.

Concerned?

The Prince is too young to handle the heavy responsibilities of Crown Prince.

It might be helpful to choose a future wife for him first

to alleviate some of the responsibilities.

Too young?

Are you saying that he isn't old enough to be the Crown Prince?

Having a Crown Princess would be very helpful to the Prince.

He's my son.

How dare you doubt the capabilities of your future king!

I apologize, my King!

Father!

What took you so long, Father?

I'm fully recovered now! I waited for you every day!

You promised to fix this. Right, Father?

You'll play with me, right?

Why are you still acting so immature?

Pardon?

You'll be the Crown Prince soon.

It's a very important position. You should behave better from now on.

But you made a promise...

Why aren't you understanding? I said stop being so immature!

Father...

Sister, that's Vega Star, right?

Yes, it was the shiniest star at the moment you were born.

It was July 7th, when Vega goes to meet Lyra.

So, will I find my love soon too?

Of course.

You'll find your great love eventually.

You'll protect him, and achieve something grand with him.

That was the prophecy given by our mother when you were born.

You won't have to be a shaman like me.

This belongs to the King. I should've returned it to him.

Please pray that I'll meet a handsome prince!

My prayers won't work anymore.

Your prayers always work! You're the best shaman of our tribe!

I'm no longer a shaman.

I did something a shaman of Baekdu shouldn't do.

That night, with that man...

With that man...

I made a deal with that man.

A deal?

I'm sorry, Do Ha. I'm sorry.

What's wrong, sister?

You don't have to pray for me. I'm sorry.

Sister!
