The King in Love (왕은 사랑한다)

(The invasion of the Mongol Empire left many dead and the land barren.)

(King Choong Ryul of Goryeo married Kublai Khan's daughter...)

(to keep its state as an independent country.)

(But people were afraid of the first mixed-blood prince.)

(and fell into hunting and lustful pleasure.)

If you ever look for me again or if I hear you talk about me,

Then maybe I will have to kill you.

The right to kill me at any time...

is yours.

Brownie.

Someone is giving away meat and weird rights.

You can have it all.

No, thanks.

It does not taste great.

- She gave it to the dog. - Pardon?

How dare she give it to that dog?

How dare she?

How dare you?

Your Highness.

- Were you talking about a dog? - Who did?

I am sure you said that while we were sparring.

You said something about giving a dog something.

Be quiet. About that girl.

Which girl?

That...

The girl from Mount Duta.

Did she not say she is coming for the late lady's memorial day?

Then she will go to Minister of Finance's house, right?

Are you going to visit her if you know where she is?

I can visit her or call her over.

- Do not do it. - Why not?

We cannot be sure about her identity.

What is not sure about her?

She was a servant girl at Minister of Finance's,

and now, she is training under Master Lee.

That is why she is even more suspicious.

How can a servant girl become Master Lee's best student?

Is that odd?

I will look more into her...

to see if she is safe for you to meet.

Do not get too close though.

- Pardon? - What if she finds out who you...

Your Highness, you were here.

You did not see me, so you cannot tell anyone anything.

Now, go on and look for the Crown Prince.

The Queen is looking for you.

Do not get too close with her.

- Your Highness. - Do not chat with her, okay?

Your Highness.

I keep thinking of her.

Is it because she looks weird?

- Who? - That girl.

I keep thinking of her.

She is still the same.

She still looks weird.

This was my mother's will as told by that boy.

"Do not hate anyone."

"Smile and prance as you always have."

So what do you want to learn as my student?

Any answer is fine.

I...

Yes?

I made my mother pass away.

Why do you think so?

Because...

I did just that.

- All right, come here. - Stop it.

Come on.

- That is nice. - So what happened is...

Stop.

I have something to say.

There are guests back here.

- Keep guarding. - Yes.

Watch out.

My goodness, unbelievable.

Hey, you need to come and watch over this room.

They should learn to behave while they are drunk.

Why is it so hard to meet you, Minister of Finance?

But I always come whenever you call me.

And if I had known you were with such a noble man,

I would have gotten here on a horse.

I am sorry to make you wait.

I heard you two are already acquainted.

One of the bandits clearly said,

"Tell the young master." And the young master was...

you.

- Be quiet. - What on earth are you up to?

Was the Crown Prince with you?

I will consider the two of you never there.

So...

stay silent.

(Wang Jeon, the second son of Chancellor Wang Yeong)

Is your daughter well?

She is.

My daughter owes her life to you, young master.

She is always thankful for that, and she is keeping to herself.

San. San.

That young master was odd.

Has it been seven years already?

Time flew by.

Goodness, the dawn will break if you keep greeting each other.

You all are busy men, so let us cut to the chase.

Are you proposing a marriage?

Your daughter became of age,

and she is no longer under a marriage ban, correct?

I keep thinking that...

what happened to her is all my fault.

If I had gotten there earlier, nothing would have happened.

That is why...

he has been waiting for her to become of age,

and now, he is asking you for her hand.

How can I let her marry you? We do not deserve such honor.

I will consider this as your way of comforting her.

Are you saying that I am lying?

My daughter has a huge scar on her face after that accident.

She cannot dare to get married...

If the noble, young master says this with all of his heart,

can you just...

accept his sincerity?

My young master can finally find peace,

and your daughter...

can get married to someone she could not dare to want.

And Minister of Finance,

you will get all the power which our young master has.

Do you not think this can make everyone happy?

Is this the young master named Song In,

the Zhuge Liang of Song family?

He is nothing like Zhuge Liang. He is my baby cousin,

and I guess he is quite smart.

Master.

Are you looking for something?

He is so handsome.

Who are you?

My goodness, how can that be?

Yes, all right.

You have not visited in a while. Have you been busy?

No, not really.

Who sent you here?

What did you see and hear?

Power without wealth, or wealth that has...

no power is...

just literary ideology.

You need both power and wealth...

to see it unfold in reality, is it not?

It looks like a bird flew into the next room.

Do not worry about me, and please continue.

It is just a bird.

Is it not usually a mouse instead of a bird during the night?

There was a man named Song In there.

I know him.

He visits Father's bedroom quite often.

I heard he is quite sly.

But why would Eun Young Baek meet up with them?

- Actually, - Actually?

my second brother was there.

They discussed marriage.

Between my brother...

and the Finance Minister's daughter.

The girl who got hurt?

Yes.

The girl who got a scar and has to wear a veil?

Yes.

That is very suspicious.

It is.

It is not suspicious at all.

All the young men were of noble birth.

One of them was the Chancellor's son.

- Did you see him? - Not his face.

The young master said he wished to marry me.

Late at night at a posh bar.

Get your facts straight.

It is me he wishes to marry, not you.

Did you say that on purpose?

You know that I tremble with guilt whenever you mention that.

Mention what?

The scar on my face?

I like having it.

It changed my life for the better.

I sleep in your room, wear your clothes,

and am looked after.

Pour me another drink to celebrate that.

Sure.

Those people.

I think it is my father's money they are after.

Why do they need the money?

I shall find out.

- If my brother is plotting... - Your brother...

is of pure blood whereas I have Yuan blood in me.

What are you thinking?

Would the people not prefer that?

A pure-blood king?

Can you tell from one's blood?

Tell what?

How decent that person is...

or how much he cares for the people.

Everyone has the same red blood, so I cannot tell.

That is why I ignore the bloodline, and focus on the person.

I shall claim your bed.

Will you not return to the palace?

Will you throw out your Crown Prince?
