Episode 9

It's raining!

It's raining!

It's raining!

The gods heard our prayers!

It's raining at last!

King Gwangjong.

There's a hero in our midst.

How did he cover up the huge scar?

It looked like makeup.

Whoever did it is very skilled.

The gods chose So for a reason.

Treat him with respect from now on.

It was the 4th prince.

Prince 80...

becomes King Gwangjong.

His brothers, nephews

and loyal subjects.

He killed them all.

That's what King Gwangjong did.

Should he be killed?

You saved us, Your Highness.

You were chosen by the gods.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Did he become the king

because of me?

Because I helped hide his scar?

No.

It's recorded in history.

Even without me,

he managed to become king.

Will he...

really kill all his brothers?

Soo.

It's raining.

The King will host a celebration.

800, is something wrong?

Does everyone die because of me?

What?

That person.

Did I make him like that?

Did I?

I need you to be safe.

The gods chose Prince 80.

The gods...

would never have chosen him.

It should have been me.

That was my seat.

I should have brought the rain!

Mother.

You dare ruin such an opportunity?

If someone tries to take your seat,

take out a piece of their throat

to defend it.

You should have sat in that chair.

A mistake. That is what it was.

I can make mistakes!/- No.

There are no mistakes.

To make me Dowager Empress,

you must be cruel and persistent.

That Damiwon girl.

I am sure that

she covered up So's face.

To make you...

Dowager Empress?

Damiwon, Damiwon, Damiwon.

They're always the troublemakers.

I swear...

that I will burn the place down.

4th prince Wang So...

greets you, Your Majesty.

Prince Wang So.

You did very well today.

You saved our nation.

Pardon me for taking...

the Crown Prince's place.

That is not important.

Bandits attacked me on my way back.

I would never have made it in time.

I apologise.

How long has it been

since I looked upon your face?

Your scar took away

so many years from us.

I caused you great concern.

Father.

Show your bare face with confidence.

Assist the Crown Prince's work

and make yourself useful.

I trust in you.

I will...

obey your order.

We can wait here

until they bring the umbrellas.

Did you...

cover So's scar?

It's wrong to touch a prince's face,

but you did well, whatever they say.

Do not worry.

Also...

So hosted the ceremony

in the Crown Prince's absence.

Nothing will change.

Are you sure?

Yes.

It has to change.

Should nothing change?

Now that it's raining,

the King will wish to celebrate.

He hasn't sent any maids home

in a while.

He will do so this year.

Not like this.

I must check it.

Soo.

The next king,

do you know who it is?

If everything goes as planned,

the Crown Prince will become king.

Then...

Then who comes next?

After him--

Gwangjong?

Is what I heard you say.

What?

That is what you called Prince 80.

I just blurted it out.

I don't know where it came from.

I think I was 4 or 5.

I almost drowned.

They said I'd actually died.

But I woke up after exactly one day.

You died...

and then came back to life?

My mother sometimes said that...

I acted like someone else

since that day.

I spoke like a wise old man.

I never told anyone,

but sometimes, I see things

that seem too real to be a dream.

I saw large birds that carry people

and stairs and rooms that moved.

People swarm into buildings

that reach up to the sky.

Is he from the future like me?

Can he not remember

because he was too young?

I heard you died and lived again.

I wonder if that enabled you

to see the future like I do.

Ask me properly.

What is it you really wish to know?

Will Prince 80 become Gwangjong?

Will he kill everyone?

What about Prince Wook?

What happens to him?

What...

should I do?/- Nothing.

You must not do anything.

Whatever you saw, let it happen.

You cannot get involved.

What if I can change it?

I can prevent accidents

from happening.

I can turn bad into good or--

You already changed a prince's face.

Will that...

in some way, alter...

the prince's future?

I cannot tell.

Destiny is when a human realises

the gods' will.

Who knows if it changed

or if it were always meant to be?

We, humans, can never go

beyond what the gods say.

Let everything take its course.

Only then can you stay safe.

So brought the rain.

Now he has the King's favour.

Yes.

I assume so.

If they needed someone

to replace the Crown Prince,

it should have been you.

It was a great opportunity.

That duty was meant for So alone.

He was the one we needed.

I should not want what isn't mine.

People who gain the King's favour

tend to get distracted.

Now we have one more person

we should fear and tiptoe around.

800 said So would change.

You think the same.

Who cares...
