Queen For Seven Days (7일의 왕비)

Even if I have to die, I must know the reason.

Then what is the reason I cannot kill you?

I'm your, His Majesty the King's, younger brother.

We were born from the same father—

That's the first reason why you must die.

Do you think your older brother will be any different? You two aren't even full-blooded brothers.

Become the son-in-law of Chief Royal Secretary Sin Soo Geun.

Go into their household and live quietly in the countryside of Geochang.

Why must I do that?

I trust you, Hyungnim.

Young Master!

Young Master! Young Master!

Who are you?

Could I also know the meaning of that gaze?

Is this not the place?

If you go in again, you'll catch a cold.

Thank you! You're much healthier than I am,

yet you're even worrying about my health.

Then, please enjoy the nice view.

Nice view?

By any chance...

please become my older brother!

Episode 2

This way, right over here.

Over there, right there. You can see the light from the inn, can't you?

Yes, I see it.

I'm still young so if I go in alone, I don't think they'll give me a room.

If you tell them that you're my older brother,

I think they'll accept me.

Is there a reason I must do that?

I got hurt while I was chasing you, and also...

Why is that my fault?

Wow. Do you not have any family members or younger siblings at home?

Still, it's humane to help someone in need.

If you're not a wolf in sheep's clothing—

You have no fear.

If I had no fear, for what reason would I ask you this favor? I would just sleep out here.

Let's go.

As expected, people who look like this are never cold.

Didn't you hear me? She ran away from home.

Hand her over to the Investigation Bureau when the sun rises.

Hyungnim, why are you lying?

Auntie, my older brother

is trying to abandon me right now because of our difficult financial situation.

Please stop him.

Where is the evidence that I am your older brother?

You have a scar next to your bellybutton.

Hurry up and take your clothes off.

- That's— - Settle family arguments inside.

It's this room, right over there.

Should I tell you about other scars, aside from the one next to your bellybutton?

Sign for Joomak -- a tavern or inn

That's when that gangster stole my silk pouch!

Still, you wandered around all day to find that?

How much money was in there?

Money is another matter. There was an important letter in that silk pouch.

I need that so when they ask "Why did you come?",

I can answer, "I came to give you this".

I can at least make an excuse with that.

Must you have a reason to go to your parents' house?

They told me not to come.

You're afraid of not being welcomed.

Then what about you? In the middle of the night, why were you stark—

Why were you like that?

I was cooling the fever that consumed my

entire heart and soul.

My late father continues to test my younger brother and me.

Not long ago in my village, there was a race.

They said that they would give something to eat to the winner.

So everyone worked hard and arrived at the finish line

but then, the Chief told us to race again.

So what could we do? We raced again.

Then again and again, he told us to race again.

We raced multiple times.

One kid realized that something was strange

and asked his friends to race together.

So everyone put their arms on each others' shoulders and raced again.

Then, the Chief laughed and gave them something to eat.

Everyone together? He said together.

Can't you also pass the test together with your brother?

Unfortunately, it's not something we can share—

He's not dead. Why isn't he waking up?

Warrior! Warrior!

Oh hurry, Father...

What do I do?

Father, ather...

I made it.

Who are you?

Please open the door. I have to go to the physician. A person is—

- Open the gate! - Paru (bell ring to announce end of the curfew) hasn't rang yet.

It's a royal command.

Have you come to your senses?

Warrior, are you alright?

You really have no fear.

You should've run away by yourself. Why did you suffer so much to save me as well?

Why would I leave my family behind?

You became my older brother, didn't you?

A family should live together

and if they have to die, they should die together.

By the way, after drinking the wine,

there was a dead person at the inn.

I've notified the Investigative Bureau, so you needn't worry.

You must've been very shocked, so get some more sleep. Forget about what happened yesterday.

I was trying to go home.

I miss my mother and father.

I must've gone crazy.

I should've just stayed at home and not come out.

I almost died without seeing the faces of my family members.

Really.

Let's go.

You could have been in big trouble. In the future, I'll escort you more closely.

Do so, if you want to die.

His Majesty the King is entering!

Exactly how are you governing the city?

Wicked thugs were pretending to be innkeepers and were harming innocent people passing by.

In a place not so far from the capital.

We apologize, your Majesty.

Head of Hansungbu (Magistrate of Capital Patrol) and Police Chief of the Right district will be dismissed immediately!

If this happens again, you will also be held responsible to the strictest standards.

Yes, Your Majesty.

He's been like that since last night.

Your Majesty, what happened yesterday—

I haven't changed my mind. Become the son-in-law of Sin Soo Geun.

Then, you will also be more at ease.

Now, what excuse can I have to return home?

Next time if we meet again, I will grant you a wish.

He's not the Great Jade Emperor (God) or anything.

- Get lost. - Give me back what you stole from me!

I told you to let go!

My wish is to catch that brazen young master.

Who is it?

The Heavens have helped me.

When there are guests, they won't scold me.

Can you guess why I came to your house?

I have no idea.

I'm sure you've heard that Grand Prince Jin Seong's marriage has been decided.

Instead of sending someone, I thought I would be able to relay my sincerity by coming directly.

Young Lady!

- Young Lady, where were you? - Nanny!

Are you alright?

I would like to have your daughter as my daughter-in-law.

However, my daughter isn't a good match for His Highness the Grand Prince.

Yes, Queen Dowager.

Our Chae Gyeong is too lacking to be the Grand Prince's wife.

Mother.

She was weak since she was young so we raised her in the countryside. We don't know when she'll fall sick again.

I'm healthy, Mother.

Using the excuse that she's sick, she is lazy in her studies and we haven't taught her anything else.

She is barely able to read.

She doesn't know anything about etiquette or rules.

She grew up among servants so her behavior is crude.

As for etiquette and rules, she can learn them.

As for her health, we have an outstanding physician at the palace,

so it's also a good thing for your daughter.

However, my daughter will be a huge nuisance for your family and the Royal Court.

Mother, Father, why are you making me into such a worthless person?

I think differently than my Mother, Chief Royal Secretary.

Grand Prince!

I have absolutely no desire to marry your—

We meet again, Bird Poop.

You! How did you come here?

Chae Gyeong!

Mother, Father.

She's so happy.

She seems quite different from what I just heard, Chief Royal Secretary.

Although my fathers' words aren't wrong,

I'm putting effort each day to make up for what I lack, Your Highness the Queen Dowager.

She's even humble.

I believe the Chief Royal Secretary's words are correct.

No, I'm certain she's even worse.

Grand Prince, what are you talking about?

It's a shameful incident to speak of, Mother.

However, I can tell you one thing is for certain.

I will never marry this child.

No!

I will marry him.

What's the reason?!

What about you? What's your reason? Why do you keep appearing in front of me?

Out of all things, you even changed your gender?

Is it a problem that I appeared? Or is it a problem that I'm a woman?

Do you know what I went through that day because of you?

I almost died because of you!

Yet, I have to marry you? I have to preserve my life through your household?

At this point where I hate the fact that you're the Chief Royal Secretary's daughter, it has to be you, Bird-poop?

You almost died because you fell off your horse?

I almost died at His Majesty's sword because I arrived late!

Why would His Majesty the King kill you?

Then what's your reason for wanting to marry? Because you covet the title of the Grand Prince's woman?

Pardon?!

Your family loves titles. Your aunt, Her Highness the Queen Dowager, is the mother of this nation.

Your father, Shin Soo Geun, the Chief Royal Secretary who holds power in the Royal Court. Your uncle who holds military power.

Now, if you also marry me, your family will be so arrogant.

What are you talking about, seriously?!

If that's not the reason, then what is it?!

I want to show them I can do it too!

As I told you earlier, she's quite headstrong.

Grand Prince Jin Seong isn't easy to handle either.

They call this "fate".

I'm not a nuisance in the Sin household, nor am I an ugly duckling.

I want to show them I'm fully capable of marrying someone like the Grand Prince.
