Who is the best subject to the King?

One who becomes a great general

and conquers Liao Dong.

One who is skilled in martial arts and protects the King.

One who is willing to die for the King.

Under Yuan's subjugation,

the Goryeo King selected young boys

and closely trained them to be

his royal guards called the Kunryongwe.

He allowed these boys to reside in the palace

and always kept them within his reach.

SONG Ji-Ηyo

Υour Majesty.

The Princess from Yuan has arrived at the port.

It is time to go meet your Queen, Your Majesty.

The court subjects are waiting, sire.

I haven't finished playing.

Wait outside.

A Frozen Flower.

Stop!

Stop there!

Stop!

Han-Baek!

You've gone mad over a girl!

How dare you run away!

Chief!

I beg of you.

Please let us go.

Strike me down first

if you must go.

I have no appetite.

Just one spoon, sire.

You must regain your strength.

That will do, lad.

Just one spoon, please?

Why you...

There.

You may go.

Your Majesty?

Hmm?

Won't you please reconsider?

I won't hear any more on this matter.

As the Chief, I'm partly responsible for his actions.

If you must behead him, punish me in the same regard.

I said, enough!

I beg of you, sire.

Chief.

Come in.

Brother!

Han-Baek!

Listen carefully.

The King has generously spared Han-Baek's life.

However...

there will not be a second chance.

Anyone who disgraces the Kunryongwe's honor...

will pay with his life.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir!

What a relief.

Chief!

Very impressive, sir.

How did you manage to free him?

He's one of us, we can't abandon him for one mistake.

The law says to behead the fool

who messes with

a court maid.

It's the King’s command.

The King’s command?

Why of course.

What?

Stop clouding the King’s

judgment with pillow talk, sir.

Stop.

If you speak ill of His Majesty again...

I'll have your head.

The honeysuckle tea worked marvelously.

My fever has subsided drastically.

It's a relief, sire.

I shall request another batch.

How did you know that honeysuckle works on fevers?

My late father used to drink it when he got colds.

I see.

What would you have done?

Sire?

If you were Han-Baek,

would you have left the palace too?

You too have lived here for over years.

Wouldn't you wanted to run away from here?

How can I ever think of leaving as you are here, sire.

Her Majesty, the Queen.

Have you slept well, sire?

Welcome, my Queen.

I brought some medicine to bring down your fever, sire.

No need to bring it in person.

I shall leave in peace, sire.

My physician prepared this specially for you, sire.

Thank you for your generosity.

I heard an envoy from Yuan is coming.

Yes.

What more will they demand on account of the royal heir issue?

It worries me so.

Worrying will not solve anything.

With all due respect, sire...

Perhaps you should make more effort for an heir...

Shall I take in another royal concubine?

You wanted to see me?

I heard you took care of something I should've done.

Pardon?

My maid who was arrested for running away with a guard.

I heard she's alive thanks to you.

I wanted to thank you for what you did.

No, Your Majesty.

I'm certain the King made the decision with you in mind.

We both know that's not true.

However, remember this.

There is much clamor over the royal heir issue.

Your service to the King can be

misunderstood at times like this.

So be careful.

The spring sun is stunning, sire.

We should've come here earlier.

'It is nice to be out from the palace.

That sachet...

I haven't seen it in a while.

Oh, this?

Do you remember, sire?

You wore that when you first came from Yuan.

Its amazing that it still carries its scent.

My Queen.

Would you care to sing?

Sire?

The Goryeo song you always used to sing.

Its so unexpected, you're making me blush.

What about you, Chief Hong?

Would you like to hear the Queen sing?

Yes, Your Majesty.

See? He wants to hear it, too.

We'd be so obliged.

Oh, dear...

Will you leave?

Will you leave me?

How will I live without you?

If you leave me now?

I wish to keep you from leaving.

Will you not return if I look sad?

My love...

- You okay? - Yes, sire!

Stop them!

Protect the King!

Escort the King!

Bring me my sword!

But, sire!

Bring it now!

Your Majesty!

Escort the Queen!

Your Majesty!

Hurry!

Hong Lim, Hong Lim!

Are you okay?

Yes, sire.

Sire!

Your Majesty!

How is he?

He is still unconscious, sir.

Only days until the Yuan

envoy arrives,

this is a tragedy!

You!

How dare you sit here

with a straight face!

How did you allow this tragedy

to fall upon the King?

You still call yourself

the Chief of the Kunryongwe?

I will see that you are held

personally responsible for this!

Chief Hong?

His Majesty is calling for you.

Are you okay?

Did you get your wound treated?

I deserve to die, sire.

My inability to fulfill my

duties brought you harm.

Please have me executed.

No, dear lad.

If you weren't there to save me,

I'd already be dead.

Your Majesty...

Chief...

Did you find out?

Just as we expected, sir.

Remember the raid

against the Japanese?

The Privy Council is claiming...

the remnants who escaped

are behind this.

What are the ministers saying?
