Crown Princess!

S-Stay there, Crown Princess! I will come to you.

Your Majesty!

Crown Princess.

Crown Princess!

You saw her too, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

It was the crown princess, yes?

Yes, it was Her Highness.

So what is going on?

-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty.

-Crown Princess… -Your Majesty!

-Crown Princess. -Your Majesty.

Stay there. I will come to you.

Your Majesty, please look at me.

Please look at me.

Please don't be hurt.

That woman isn't Her Highness.

No, no, she is…

We've found evidence.

What?

Your Majesty, this is Kim Chan-man.

Do you remember me?

Oh my.

I do remember you.

What brings you to the palace?

Isn't that the royal wedding gown that I gave to Lord Ahn Ji-Hyeong?

But this isn't genuine.

What?

On genuine royal wedding gowns the embroidery is done with gold thread.

But this is done with silver thread.

Then where is the genuine one?

On the outfit that woman at the pond was wearing

it was embroidered with gold thread.

Someone stole the real royal wedding gown to trick you,

and put a fake one in the box of the crown princess's belongings

to confuse the investigation.

Your Majesty, if that woman is really a ghost or spirit

why would she be wearing a stolen wedding gown?

Who's doing all this?

What if His Majesty

never forgets Her Highness?

Just like how people cannot drive wet fog away,

what if making him forget Her Highness is something that I cannot do?

Why are we here again?

It's too early to give up yet.

I will get rid of the wet fog with human power.

What?

Shin-won, you know how to swim.

What again?

Back then you heard

something go in the water. What could that have been?

You'll only be able to find out if you go in the water.

-You're kidding, right? -Do I look like I am?

You are quite weird.

Oh look! There's a deer.

There's no deer in the palace.

Here is the deer, you punk.

Didn't you say we were friends? Your friendship is really something.

Hurry and look in there.

Gosh, seriously. Hey, catch this.

Hurry and look for something.

Why isn't he coming out? Is he dead?

Oh my gosh!

What is that?

It's a mirror as big as a person.

So they installed a mirror for the vanishing effect of the woman?

Yes.

If you hold on to this rope then let go, it'll drop in the pond.

Ah, so that was it?

There was a reason why it was always by water, such as

the well, wash place and temple well.

-That's why we need to rush. -Why?

If that woman really didn't vanish into thin air,

there's a high possibility she's still in the palace.

What?

Now's the time for Head Eunuch and Chief Court Lady have to step up.

Mm.

Easiest way for a woman to hide in the palace is to be a palace lady.

Just like me.

Some palace ladies enter and leave the palace.

So it'd be easiest to leave among them.

We should close all the gates and look through all the palace ladies in here.

You know almost all the palace ladies faces, Court Lady Won.

Especially the face of that woman's face from yesterday.

I will look for her.

I will tell the guards to tighten security.

Then I… will tell the officers

to reinforce the search for the places

that woman might be hiding.

Let me come too.

No, you should stay in your room with me.

Why suddenly?

Wouldn't it be better for me to search too?

I told you the palace is dangerous.

JASEONDANG

What? The dead princess appeared in the palace?

But she was wearing a stolen royal wedding gown.

So they think it's not a ghost.

Just in case that woman is hiding among the palace ladies,

they are inspecting everyone.

When is the dead princess's memorial day?

It is today.

What if another person dies in the palace again?

No matter how strong the king's heart is, he'll crumble down.

Do you know a way to stop that.

How would a mere woman like me know such way?

But…

I did hear if a lawful queen comes in to change this dark energy of the palace,

miraculously, no more ill events will happen again.

Inspecting all the palace ladies…

She is heading for her place to die.

I did get a rough report.

You're looking for a suspicious palace lady in the palace?

Yes, we must find her within today.

I'm sure this incident is associated with a high-up in the palace.

If not, how could she have come in here so easily?

That's possible.

From now on Royal Guards will take over the investigation.

Please tell the State Tribunal officers to withdraw.

Wouldn't it add confusion if this incident is shared between two bureaux?

But…

We will investigate thoroughly so that the palace lady with

a hidden name doesn't hide her face under a high-up's protection.

I will personally tell the State Tribunal.

Why can I only stay here?

Do you want to roam around when it's scary like this?

Captain, the Royal Guards want us to withdraw.

Why? They must be running short on people.

I don't know the details.

They're looking for you.

I think you need to go.

I have to stay here.

So do we all withdraw as told?

You'll lose her at this rate.

You need to find her before she gets out.

You go ahead. We will guard this place.

I just go and see what's going on, then.

Alright.

What are you doing right now?

Find the suspicious palace lady with a hidden identity.

I got the order.

What are you doing? Didn't you hear the order to withdraw?

Then you're at the wrong place.

My name is Sun-a, working as the attendant palace maid.

ENTRY AND EXIT LIST OF NAMES

According to the record, Maid Sun-a

has fallen ill with a serious illness.

I got better long time ago.

I'm perfectly healthy now.

You should come with us for now.

No…

Can you call the Head Eunuch and Chief Court Lady, then?

They will identify my identity.

There was an order to be more alert for the palace ladies

that are protected by the high-ups.

Whoa, who do you dare to put your hands on?

This isn't something an underling can interfere.

I told you it was an order.

I mean…

Hey, wait!

What is your identity?

Why does the Royal Guard recklessly take in a palace lady?

Above all, she is an attendant court maid of the king.

Chief Court Lady, what is her name?

She's Sun-a. I'm sure she's on the list.

From what we investigated, she was called by the name So-rang.

She's hiding her identity to work in the palace.

And right by the side of His Majesty of all places.

The State Tribunal can vouch for her identity.

Stop the interrogation and let her go.

We cannot identify her no matter how much we investigate.

The name So-rang must not be a real name either.

We are looking for the person who put this palace

in panic with appearance similar to Her Highness.

How can she be the culprit?

We can also catch roaches while hunting for a chicken.

We have finished inspecting all palace ladies in the palace.

There was no one who wasn't identified.

Except one person.

People who know dead princess' face were also joined

but no one had similar looks.

Then we should interrogate the most suspicious one first.

And also the high-ups who tried to protect her.

No matter what their status is, they should be thoroughly interrogated.

Can you please come to the interrogation room?

You must tell us how she entered the palace

and how she could act like a palace maid

until now.

Take them.

Yes, sir.

Wait a moment..

Are you alright?

Your name is not real? What does that mean

I won't ask the reason. Since the situation is bad.

Just say your real name.

Then I'll try to get you out somehow.
