Queen For Seven Days (7일의 왕비)

What are you talking about right now?

I came out today with the intention of this being our last.

Let's stop seeing each other now.

I don't want to!

I said, I don't want to.

With whose permission?

I will release you after I count to 10.

Before that, please promise me.

How furious you must have been,

how sorrowful you must have been,

I can more than presume.

Therefore, until your anger dissolves, you can get angry at me,

hit me, and bother me all you want,

but...

please don't say you won't ever see me again.

I returned because

I couldn't live without seeing you.

You promised me! You were just angry, just sulky, today!

Perfect timing.

Your Majesty.

You two are together.

It seems like our worries came true.

You two suited each other quite well earlier.

Marriage is all that's left.

Get married.

Your Majesty, what do you mean by marriage all of a sudden?

It is a royal command.

Hyungnim!

I haven't even received Chae Gyeong's approval yet.

Everything else is up to you.

Is there a reason why you're suddenly rushing things like this?

Didn't you want this?

So, I'm just helping you.

Marriage? On top of that, he even said it was a royal command.

What is the reason His Majesty is suddenly acting like that?

By any chance, is there something I don't know about?

I couldn't possibly understand all of His Majesty's intentions,

but it seems it'll be difficult to defy a royal command.

Then are you saying we should wed Grand Prince Jin Seong and Chae Gyeong?

What about the head nun's prophesy?

She said that a bloodbath will occur if Chae Gyeong becomes close to a member of the royal family!

Prophesy?

Prime Minister, do you believe such a ridiculous prophesy?

We can't just ignore it either!

For me, it concerns my daughter's safety.

As for Chae Gyeong, it concerns the fate of herself and those she loves.

Do you think that way too?

Is that prophesy more important than me?

So, is that why you ignored me, pushed me out , and turned away?

A prophesy?

Hyungnim, since you treasure me so much, I'll escort you properly today.

Don't call me "Hyungnim."

Wow, you're strong!

I remember when we first met.

His Majesty says he misses his mother.

My family members are innocent.

If someone has to be punished, I will take the punishment.

Did you know?

That fleeting glance, that spark at the end of our fingertips when we touch,

that trivial bastard called "love"

was in here too?

Would there be anything I do not know about you, Your Majesty?

Then?

- Why didn't you tell me? - Your Majesty...

You should have told me before I became this petty.

You should have stopped me!

You dare, you dare to!

Who are you to make me this miserable?

I considered you as part of my family,

as my friend, as my refuge!

Yet, you accepted another man's embrace?

I'm going to kill you.

If I cannot have you beside me in life, I'll kill you

to keep you beside me in death!

Y-Your Majesty, Your Majesty...

Your Majesty...

Now,

marriage is all that's left.

Afterwards, you can take her as your concubine.

Then, although that child's body will remain next to Grand Prince Jin Seong,

she will live as your woman

under your royal command.

I'll make them have the most

hellish marriage on this Earth.

Once we pass the relief crops to Kwonduk-bang, Joongshin-bang, and Chansung-bang, it will be over.

Everyone was jumping for joy to see the Snail Brides again for the first time in a while.

The culprit who raided the ministers' storage houses

was the Chief Royal Secretary. Your suspicions were correct, Orabeoni.

These two have infiltrated the private army of Im Sa Hong.

I know he wishes to harm you,

but does stealing even from other ministers' storage houses make sense?

He's someone who could even raid the King's storage house. There's nothing to be surprised about.

First, try to find about Im Sa Hong's secret storage house.

Yes, sir!

I can't just watch him fill his own stomach with others' money.

Leave.

Oh and my brother

gave me permission to get married.

Oh! So you will no longer be a bachelor at last?!

Did you propose to Lady Chae Gyeong already?

Did you get the approval, sir?

This is not just any ordinary marriage.

This is just one of many steps towards achieving our ultimate goal. Why are you people so frivolous?

Orabeoni, keep in mind that I'm going along with you right now

but don't forget that you will owe me your life by taking full responsibility if you make the wrong choice.

Don't you worry, Chae Gyeong

will become my woman in the end.

You two looked so good together. Get married.

Do you think that way too?

Is that mere prophecy more important than me?

Is the prophecy more important or is the royal command more important?

Or..

is the heart more important?

The heart.

For sure it is.

For me, it concerns my daughter's safety.

As for Chae Gyeong,

it concerns the fate of those she loves and herself.

Hyungnim. Is something the matter?

My brother

tried to kill me because of our late father's will.

And Chae Gyeong is caught up by a prophecy left by some nun.

That is why she is pushing me away.

Why is everyone treating me this way?

They have the right to.

What?

Because they are afraid. Even when you were a child, you were afraid of grown ups too.

And you were afraid of your brother who is the King. You pretended not to see nor hear anything.

Didn't you say that's how you lived?

Lady Chae Gyeong was the person who helped you realize that and muster up some courage.

So this time, you should help Lady Chae Gyeong.

There's something more important than superstition, a prophecy, and what someone else says.

You should tell her these things.

If you're going to marry her, you should start by instilling trust.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's because I'm proud of you, you punk.

You're all grown up.

You are an adult now.

I've been an adult for quite some time now.

I'm also physically bigger than you.

I'm just a tiny little child in your memory, that's all.

Hey, you tiny little child. Chae Gyeong told me something.

She said that she misses you.

She wants to meet with you tomorrow.

Really?

Of course it's for real.

Then I must get ready.

Are you that happy?

I greet you, Queen Dowager.

Yes, First Vice-Premier.

It looks like the His Majesty has invited both of us. Do you know what it's about?

We will find out once we go in and see him.

Yeok, the Grand Prince Jin Seong

requested permission to get married to your daughter.

I guess it's not a bad thing, since there were talks about their marriage when they were young.

What do you two think about this?

It's a good thing. It's also good for the peace of the royal court and the royal family.

Your Highness the Queen Dowager.

Why are you so surprised? As long as the Grand Prince Jin Seong has returned alive,

the fate of those children is already decided, right?

What do you think?

My child is lacking in many areas.

How could I not be aware of that?

Are you saying this is all about your own survival?

You push my son into a corner and you think only about yourself?!

I will never forget about what happened today!

But, it's alright.

I will keep her by my side and teach her well.

Please, please take good care of her, Your Highness.

Everything is settled then! Congratulations Mother.

Now that Grand Prince Jin Seong is becoming the First Vice-Premier's son-in-law, how reassured you must be.

This isn't just about the First Vice-Premier. You are more

of a friendly force that will give the Grand Prince greater reassurance.

There are so many friendly forces. Yeok must be a very blessed man. Don't you agree?

You're here.

See? It's difficult to use a person's emotions to plot and scheme.

After they are married, this will also benefit you too.

Once that girl from the Sin Clan starts siding with Grand Prince Jin Seong

the relationship between the King and the First Vice-Premier will start becoming awkward.

That would be great if that happened.

And I will compensate you greatly.

I'm so nervous. Do you think Lady Chae Gyeong will recognize me?

Nope.

You have changed so much, you know.

Did I?

Don't think about anything else, just remember what I told you last night.

About what?

Congratulations. Then, what about your plan?

So, you guys should support me tomorrow.

With what?

How?

Support you, how?

Help me, back me up properly without any doubt. Today will be my last chance.

But still, aren't I the main character today?

Oh, she's here.

Don't play so dirty.

We can both be the main characters.

There can only be one main character.

Chae Gyeong—

Long time no see, Young Lady.
