Knight Flower (밤에 피는 꽃)

(All people and backdrops are unrelated to history,)

My lady. Kkot Nim was taken for her father's debts.

What? You will go back there?

It is dangerous. I will get her.

What would happen...

if you were to appear at Kang Pil Jik's inn?

It could complicate your business.

I will go and get the child.

If you must go in person, take Whal Yu with you.

I did not think we would need this so soon.

I am sorry we could not provide anything suitable to change...

because we only had colorful clothes here.

She can only wear mourning garments anyway.

So do not mind it.

When you visit us next time,

I will make sure to have something you can wear ready.

Pil Inn?

I am worried about...

sending Lady Yeo Hwa all by herself.

Come on, Lady Jang.

Lady Yeo Hwa...

could easily take on Kang Pil Jik's men.

There is no need to worry.

What if being in a crowded place...

leads to her identity being discovered?

I am impressed.

You are finally skilled enough to protect yourself.

I am yet...

to be as skilled as you, my brother.

Your swordsmanship is decent enough. Why would you want to be on my level?

Just like you, I want to protect and help others.

I cannot believe you wielded a real sword.

That is cheating.

Is that what you will say to your enemies?

But I do not have my own sword.

One day, I will have a custom spear sword made for you.

(Spear sword: A sword for self-protection with a blade that resembles an iris leaf)

Who knew that a beauty like you had such talents?

I feel bad that the world will never know of it.

However, I am sure...

there will be something you can do with your talents.

Once you find it,

do it at all costs.

But it is not your night to stand guard.

I am heading to the palace on urgent business...

and will be away from home for a few days.

Do not worry about me...

and stay safe.

Look after the house for me...

and do not skip your meals.

I hear you.

After losing her parents at a young age and with her older brother gone,

she has no other family.

Once the Left State Councilor is made aware of that...

It will cause us trouble.

How did Lady Yeo Hwa...

marry into the Left State Councilor's family?

Uncle.

How can I marry without my brother present?

Besides, I never heard that I was engaged.

It is the Left State Councilor's son.

Someone who lost her parents at a young age...

does not even deserve such luxury.

Your brother has not been home for months and...

Uncle!

They say our lives...

are filled with unexpected turns.

Who knew she would marry into the Left State Councilor's family...

and become a widow on the day of her wedding?

(Mangmungwabu: A woman who is widowed before her wedding night)

I doubt even Lady Yeo Hwa saw that coming.

The groom was attacked...

on his way to the wedding.

She must truly be relentless...

to cause her groom to die like this.

Still, she cares for others more than she worries about herself.

- So who could possibly stop her? - I hear her brother is missing...

and no one knows if he is dead or alive.

We are moving out.

Let us have some fun.

Girls who are sold to cover a debt...

are made to work at the inn...

before they are sold to be a nobleman's concubine...

or end up as a gisaeng.

You cannot do this, my lord.

Come along.

What?

She was sold to him already?

Let the girl go.

I will buy her.

I do not know how much you paid for her,

but sell her to me.

Who are you?

I do not know how much you paid, but I will double the payment.

You will disclose your status first.

That is not your concern.

Knowing that is my business.

I could not care less.

I am an officer of the Capital Defense.

Who could you be to want to buy her?

I see I was unaware of a government official...

who abuses his power over something trivial.

However, this girl will come with me.

Wait.

Have we not met?

Where could we have met?

Let go of my hand.

I must take a look.

What on earth are you doing?

There is something I must confirm.

No!

A strong "no" might mean a "yes."

I see a man and woman enjoying each other's company.

It sure is lonely to be single tonight.

There are more than enough rooms here.

She is here to cover a gambling debt,

so pay up if you wish to take her.

A hundred nyang.

Would 100 nyang be enough?

A hundred nyang?

It will be 150 nyang.

What the...

I will buy her for 200 nyang.

I propose 250 nyang.

No, 300 nyang.

No, 350 nyang.

I see you are one generous man.

It will be 500 nyang in silver coins.

Let us go.

Okay, let me see.

Bring it.

Darn it.

Stop following me.

Come on.

What the...

Lay off the booze, will you?

What on earth...

Are you all right, my lord?

You must have drunk a lot.

- On your feet. - What?

Goodness.

What the... I am not drunk.

Who are you and why are you causing a commotion at my inn?

Are you the owner of this inn?

I am Park Soo Ho with the Capital Defense Command.

Park Soo Ho.

You are the officer who recently caused a commotion...

at my inn.

I apologize for what happened that night.

After hearing about...

the mess you made just to catch a scammer,

I must admit I was curious about you.

Who knew I would get to meet you?

Many gambling dens are run illegally...

which is why I had to investigate.

I will let you off with a smile...

seeing as this is your first time in Hanyang.

But should you question my business again,

you might...

not be able to return home with just a simple warning.

Who dares to threaten...

an officer of this nation?

Brother.

This is my younger brother.

I see I caused you inconvenience by calling you here.

Gosh.

Goodness.

Are you Royal Secretary Officer Park's younger brother?

I do not know what kind of commotion he caused at your inn...

but do tell.

I will repay you for any damages.

Gosh, no.

Those were the words of an ignorant merchant.

I request your understanding.

Let us go, brother.

Of course, Yoon Hak.

She seems to have a terrible fever, so watch her for about four hours.

Yes, my lady.

Take good care of her.

How is Kkot Nim?

The shock of everything has her running a fever.

I gave her medicine and had her go to sleep.

Her father might sell her off as gambling debt again,

so I thought I could give her a job here at Myungdo Inn.

What do you think?

That is a great idea.

It will be better to keep an eye on her at close range.

She is a clever girl...

and will master any task given.

Including what was spent today,

no payment is left for you.

Will you be all right?

What? The business is doing this well,

but all the amount has been spent already?

Says someone who spent 500 nyang...

in just one night.

Anyway, according to Whal Yu,

some man went after you.

Was it someone you knew?

My goodness. Absolutely not.
