00:00:45.254 --> 00:00:48.966 align:center
PERFECT CROWN

00:00:59.851 --> 00:01:01.102 align:center
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

00:01:01.103 --> 00:01:02.980 align:center
CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS
WERE FILMED SAFELY

00:01:51.153 --> 00:01:52.946 align:center
On behalf of the people and the Cabinet,

00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:54.865 align:center
I offer

00:01:55.657 --> 00:01:58.160 align:center
my most sincere congratulations
on your union.

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:00.787 align:center
Congratulations.

00:02:01.538 --> 00:02:05.584 align:center
Thank…

00:02:09.004 --> 00:02:10.172 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:02:16.678 --> 00:02:17.679 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:02:34.488 --> 00:02:35.738 align:center
Seong Huiju!

00:02:35.739 --> 00:02:37.990 align:center
- Huiju.
- Ms. Seong?

00:02:37.991 --> 00:02:39.242 align:center
Escort His Majesty.

00:02:39.785 --> 00:02:40.911 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:02:42.204 --> 00:02:44.914 align:center
- Summon a royal physician!
- Yes, Your Majesty.

00:02:44.915 --> 00:02:46.625 align:center
We shall leave the palace.

00:02:47.125 --> 00:02:48.377 align:center
From this moment forth…

00:02:49.878 --> 00:02:54.007 align:center
anyone who dares to lay a hand
upon my wife shall face my wrath!

00:02:54.508 --> 00:02:55.509 align:center
Choi Hyeon!

00:02:56.885 --> 00:02:59.304 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:03:00.347 --> 00:03:01.430 align:center
Ms. Seong.

00:03:01.431 --> 00:03:03.433 align:center
- Send word to her father.
- How did this…

00:03:04.101 --> 00:03:05.936 align:center
- Choi Hyeon!
- Yes, Your Royal Highness!

00:03:14.403 --> 00:03:15.529 align:center
Huiju.

00:03:16.113 --> 00:03:17.114 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.040 align:center
PERFECT CROWN

00:03:27.624 --> 00:03:28.959 align:center
EPISODE 8

00:03:29.668 --> 00:03:32.294 align:center
Can you confirm
whether a plan has been established?

00:03:32.295 --> 00:03:34.588 align:center
Do you care to comment, Ms. Seong?

00:03:34.589 --> 00:03:36.841 align:center
Can you tell us anything?

00:03:36.842 --> 00:03:38.676 align:center
Are you all right, Ms. Seong?

00:03:38.677 --> 00:03:40.470 align:center
Castle Hospital. As fast as you can.

00:03:41.388 --> 00:03:42.347 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:03:49.187 --> 00:03:51.106 align:center
GRAND PRINCESS SEONG
FAINTS MID-WEDDING

00:03:54.484 --> 00:03:55.902 align:center
Hold on…

00:04:00.198 --> 00:04:01.615 align:center
Are you all right, sir?

00:04:01.616 --> 00:04:03.784 align:center
Contact the Ministry of Transport
for traffic control.

00:04:03.785 --> 00:04:04.869 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:08.789 align:center
The escort vehicle must reach
Castle Hospital without any delay.

00:04:08.790 --> 00:04:09.791 align:center
Understood, sir.

00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:11.876 align:center
How much of it was broadcast?

00:04:11.877 --> 00:04:13.420 align:center
It was stopped after her collapse.

00:04:16.548 --> 00:04:19.301 align:center
Let them know an official statement
will be issued by day's end.

00:04:19.926 --> 00:04:22.553 align:center
Work with the Royal Guard
on hospital crowd control.

00:04:22.554 --> 00:04:23.555 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:04:47.078 --> 00:04:50.581 align:center
CASTLE HOSPITAL

00:04:50.582 --> 00:04:52.082 align:center
Patient status?

00:04:52.083 --> 00:04:55.003 align:center
- Looks serious. Let's check her vitals.
- Yes, Doctor.

00:04:55.629 --> 00:04:57.005 align:center
HR 32, BP 80 systolic.

00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.132 align:center
Breathing is weak.

00:05:00.258 --> 00:05:02.218 align:center
HR in the thirties. Prepare atropine.

00:05:02.219 --> 00:05:03.469 align:center
Yes, Doctor.

00:05:05.764 --> 00:05:07.557 align:center
Please wait outside, Your Royal Highness.

00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:11.478 align:center
Injecting 0.5 ml of atropine.

00:05:12.854 --> 00:05:14.563 align:center
No response to the atropine.

00:05:14.564 --> 00:05:16.525 align:center
Her pulse is dropping, Doctor.

00:05:40.090 --> 00:05:42.341 align:center
You're going to the hospital, right?
We'll go too.

00:05:42.342 --> 00:05:43.884 align:center
No, all of you will stay put.

00:05:43.885 --> 00:05:45.803 align:center
How can we? Her Ladyship collapsed.

00:05:45.804 --> 00:05:46.846 align:center
We need to go and--

00:05:46.847 --> 00:05:50.392 align:center
Everything Ms. Seong consumed
or wore today must be secured.

00:05:50.892 --> 00:05:53.102 align:center
Don't dispose of anything.
Keep it exactly as is.

00:05:53.103 --> 00:05:55.646 align:center
What? But why would we do that?

00:05:55.647 --> 00:05:57.566 align:center
From this moment on,
no one, myself included,

00:05:58.358 --> 00:05:59.860 align:center
is to leave the private residence.

00:06:24.634 --> 00:06:25.927 align:center
How did this happen?

00:06:29.347 --> 00:06:30.515 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:06:31.892 --> 00:06:34.227 align:center
The blood test results are back.

00:06:39.357 --> 00:06:40.942 align:center
She has digoxin toxicity.

00:06:43.236 --> 00:06:44.237 align:center
Toxicity?

00:06:45.238 --> 00:06:47.156 align:center
It's medication used to treat arrhythmias,

00:06:47.157 --> 00:06:48.283 align:center
but an overdose

00:06:49.367 --> 00:06:50.869 align:center
can be fatal.

00:06:51.453 --> 00:06:53.454 align:center
What? Fatal?

00:06:53.455 --> 00:06:54.622 align:center
What does that mean?

00:06:54.623 --> 00:06:58.167 align:center
Fortunately, we gave emergency treatment
before it hit peak levels in the blood.

00:06:58.168 --> 00:07:00.210 align:center
She's being treated with an antidote now.

00:07:00.211 --> 00:07:02.838 align:center
It'll take a few hours
for her to stabilize.

00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.799 align:center
So she's not dying, right?

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:07.676 align:center
- Yes.
- You should've started with that!

00:07:07.677 --> 00:07:09.386 align:center
Gave me a real heart attack there.

00:07:09.387 --> 00:07:11.055 align:center
Come on, babe. Don't be like that…

00:07:11.056 --> 00:07:13.766 align:center
They're leaving already?
Shouldn't they explain more?

00:07:13.767 --> 00:07:14.768 align:center
Stop it.

00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.232 align:center
- I was so shocked.
- Calm down.

00:07:23.276 --> 00:07:24.443 align:center
What are you doing?

00:07:24.444 --> 00:07:25.737 align:center
Stop!

00:07:28.114 --> 00:07:29.157 align:center
Step back.

00:07:39.167 --> 00:07:43.088 align:center
Surely, you won't just let this slide.

00:07:44.547 --> 00:07:45.548 align:center
I have…

00:07:48.718 --> 00:07:50.470 align:center
no intention of letting this slide.

00:08:06.820 --> 00:08:08.113 align:center
It was due to drug toxicity.

00:08:08.697 --> 00:08:09.905 align:center
Toxicity?

00:08:09.906 --> 00:08:11.115 align:center
The attending physician…

00:08:11.116 --> 00:08:12.992 align:center
Are you saying
someone tried to poison her?

00:08:17.414 --> 00:08:19.415 align:center
- Where is the Grand Prince right now?
- Sir.

00:08:19.416 --> 00:08:21.835 align:center
- But now is not…
- Where is Grand Prince I-AN right now?

00:08:33.471 --> 00:08:34.597 align:center
I knew…

00:08:37.475 --> 00:08:39.018 align:center
you would fail to protect her.

00:08:40.311 --> 00:08:42.229 align:center
She collapsed as soon as
she became your wife.

00:08:42.230 --> 00:08:44.398 align:center
You couldn't even keep her safe for a day!

00:08:46.568 --> 00:08:47.777 align:center
That's why I'm here.

00:08:52.198 --> 00:08:53.199 align:center
Investigate the palace.

00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:55.201 align:center
What?

00:08:57.078 --> 00:08:59.080 align:center
From its staff to the royal family.

00:09:02.333 --> 00:09:03.501 align:center
Investigate them all.

00:09:05.003 --> 00:09:07.421 align:center
Do you realize what you're saying--

00:09:07.422 --> 00:09:08.465 align:center
I do.

00:09:09.132 --> 00:09:10.258 align:center
So just do it.

00:09:14.137 --> 00:09:15.221 align:center
Effective immediately…

00:09:17.849 --> 00:09:19.392 align:center
I hereby authorize a public inquiry…

00:09:22.687 --> 00:09:23.772 align:center
into the palace.

00:09:33.073 --> 00:09:34.115 align:center
You cannot.

00:09:34.949 --> 00:09:37.242 align:center
The dignity of the Crown will be sullied.

00:09:37.243 --> 00:09:38.661 align:center
Is that what you seek?

00:09:40.538 --> 00:09:42.499 align:center
This incident occurred on palace grounds.

00:09:43.917 --> 00:09:47.419 align:center
This investigation is imperative,
not only for you and His Majesty's safety,

00:09:47.420 --> 00:09:48.921 align:center
but for the Crown's dignity.

00:09:48.922 --> 00:09:51.882 align:center
The Royal Protection Branch
can handle that.

00:09:51.883 --> 00:09:53.676 align:center
An investigation
without privilege is required.

00:09:56.638 --> 00:09:57.889 align:center
Are you saying…

00:10:00.058 --> 00:10:02.143 align:center
the royals will be questioned as well?

00:10:03.269 --> 00:10:04.728 align:center
The Grand Prince authorized it.

00:10:04.729 --> 00:10:06.396 align:center
I-AN is not the king!

00:10:06.397 --> 00:10:07.732 align:center
But he serves the Crown…

00:10:11.444 --> 00:10:12.695 align:center
…as its regent.

00:10:18.034 --> 00:10:19.327 align:center
So, Your Majesty,

00:10:19.911 --> 00:10:23.414 align:center
please allow the police
to enter the palace.

00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:46.396 align:center
Before we begin,

00:10:47.021 --> 00:10:49.523 align:center
we would like to express
our deep concern and regret

00:10:49.524 --> 00:10:52.277 align:center
over the unfortunate incident
that occurred during the royal wedding.

00:10:53.570 --> 00:10:57.239 align:center
The Grand Princess was hospitalized
after a medical emergency at the ceremony.

00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.200 align:center
She is presently undergoing treatment
and showing signs of recovery.

00:11:00.201 --> 00:11:03.328 align:center
You mentioned a medical emergency.
Was there a preexisting condition?

00:11:03.329 --> 00:11:05.415 align:center
Are external factors being ruled out?

00:11:07.792 --> 00:11:10.587 align:center
We will take questions
once the statement has concluded.

00:11:14.382 --> 00:11:17.427 align:center
While the investigation remains ongoing,

00:11:18.219 --> 00:11:19.804 align:center
concerning factors preclude us

00:11:20.471 --> 00:11:22.056 align:center
from deeming this a simple accident.

00:11:25.768 --> 00:11:29.771 align:center
Accordingly, at the Crown's request
and in the interest of the public good,

00:11:29.772 --> 00:11:31.316 align:center
the government will launch

00:11:32.025 --> 00:11:34.152 align:center
a public investigation encompassing

00:11:35.236 --> 00:11:37.363 align:center
the possibility
of intentional harm or terrorism.

00:11:40.450 --> 00:11:44.912 align:center
The investigation will proceed
with the Ministry of Justice and the NPA,

00:11:44.913 --> 00:11:47.457 align:center
and will be conducted thoroughly
and transparently.

00:11:48.708 --> 00:11:52.295 align:center
No political or external pressure
will be permitted to influence

00:11:53.296 --> 00:11:54.964 align:center
the pursuit of the truth.

00:12:02.055 --> 00:12:04.139 align:center
She didn't eat anything
at the palace that day.

00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:07.434 align:center
Then, do you remember everything she had
at the private residence?

00:12:07.435 --> 00:12:10.395 align:center
Uh… She didn't have much of an appetite,

00:12:10.396 --> 00:12:12.357 align:center
so she only had
half an apple in the morning.

00:12:13.233 --> 00:12:15.692 align:center
I heard she normally has trouble sleeping.

00:12:15.693 --> 00:12:17.486 align:center
I wouldn't exactly call it that.

00:12:17.487 --> 00:12:18.947 align:center
She just doesn't sleep.

00:12:19.864 --> 00:12:21.031 align:center
She doesn't sleep?

00:12:21.032 --> 00:12:23.660 align:center
She works through the night in the study.

00:12:24.244 --> 00:12:25.577 align:center
PERSONAL DETAILS
LEE AREUM

00:12:25.578 --> 00:12:28.248 align:center
PARK MALJA

00:12:43.805 --> 00:12:46.307 align:center
No sacred exceptions
in the pursuit of truth.

00:12:46.808 --> 00:12:48.226 align:center
The palace

00:12:49.018 --> 00:12:50.270 align:center
will certainly not be exempt.

00:12:51.229 --> 00:12:52.437 align:center
In the eyes of the law…

00:12:52.438 --> 00:12:53.898 align:center
Prime Minister Min can be so scary.

00:12:54.691 --> 00:12:56.109 align:center
It's definitely a bold move.

00:12:57.110 --> 00:12:59.070 align:center
Isn't this the first time the Crown

00:12:59.862 --> 00:13:01.364 align:center
is being investigated?

00:13:02.156 --> 00:13:03.323 align:center
It is.

00:13:03.324 --> 00:13:04.408 align:center
What?

00:13:04.409 --> 00:13:06.452 align:center
Are royals untouchable in investigations?

00:13:07.537 --> 00:13:08.913 align:center
- Inviolable.
- Right.

00:13:10.915 --> 00:13:13.626 align:center
Not exactly. It's more like…

00:13:14.252 --> 00:13:16.587 align:center
But are you two ever going home?

00:13:17.171 --> 00:13:19.506 align:center
Father told us to stay until she wakes up.

00:13:19.507 --> 00:13:20.883 align:center
Father is worried…

00:13:23.219 --> 00:13:25.304 align:center
Wait, I think she moved!

00:13:25.305 --> 00:13:26.306 align:center
What?

00:13:30.226 --> 00:13:33.688 align:center
Huiju, can you hear me?

00:13:40.028 --> 00:13:41.154 align:center
Ms. Seong!

00:13:41.988 --> 00:13:43.448 align:center
It's me! Hyeon!

00:13:46.743 --> 00:13:48.952 align:center
Ms. Seong is awake!

00:13:48.953 --> 00:13:50.455 align:center
Thank goodness.

00:13:52.665 --> 00:13:54.042 align:center
Does His Royal Highness know?

00:14:19.901 --> 00:14:22.945 align:center
KING HUIJONG THE GREAT
QUEEN UIHYEON

00:14:25.615 --> 00:14:26.949 align:center
Father…

00:14:30.953 --> 00:14:32.954 align:center
How dare you mock

00:14:32.955 --> 00:14:35.708 align:center
the Crown Prince's authority!

00:14:40.630 --> 00:14:42.423 align:center
Was I being too greedy again?

00:14:47.136 --> 00:14:48.137 align:center
Hence…

00:14:50.348 --> 00:14:51.682 align:center
Is this your wrath,

00:14:53.434 --> 00:14:55.019 align:center
reminding me not to covet?

00:14:58.856 --> 00:15:00.108 align:center
How much longer…

00:15:01.859 --> 00:15:03.194 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:15:04.821 --> 00:15:07.448 align:center
They say she is awake now.

00:15:10.493 --> 00:15:12.870 align:center
Please slow down,
Your Royal Highness!

00:15:16.124 --> 00:15:17.374 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:15:17.375 --> 00:15:18.668 align:center
Please slow down.

00:15:19.252 --> 00:15:21.129 align:center
You will hurt yourself,
Your Royal Highness!

00:15:44.735 --> 00:15:45.945 align:center
You must be hungry.

00:15:48.114 --> 00:15:49.115 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:16:28.362 --> 00:16:29.614 align:center
You're okay, right?

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.960 align:center
Are you okay now?

00:16:45.713 --> 00:16:46.756 align:center
Are you crying?

00:17:01.562 --> 00:17:02.772 align:center
I thought you were dying.

00:17:03.981 --> 00:17:05.191 align:center
I thought I lost you.

00:17:07.235 --> 00:17:08.319 align:center
I really thought…

00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:33.511 align:center
I'm okay.

00:17:40.810 --> 00:17:42.061 align:center
But…

00:17:42.728 --> 00:17:44.272 align:center
why did I collapse?

00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:13.800 align:center
This will be a joint investigation
between the NPA

00:18:13.801 --> 00:18:15.219 align:center
and the Royal Protection Branch.

00:18:17.888 --> 00:18:19.056 align:center
Today, we are questioning…

00:18:22.768 --> 00:18:23.769 align:center
It must be me.

00:18:34.363 --> 00:18:35.572 align:center
You stay here.

00:18:35.573 --> 00:18:36.574 align:center
Me?

00:18:39.785 --> 00:18:40.786 align:center
Stay with Seong Huiju.

00:18:42.246 --> 00:18:43.247 align:center
Never leave her side.

00:18:48.169 --> 00:18:49.377 align:center
Yes, Your Royal Highness.

00:18:49.378 --> 00:18:50.755 align:center
Leave everything here to me.

00:18:57.845 --> 00:18:58.846 align:center
What?

00:18:59.430 --> 00:19:00.431 align:center
Toxicity?

00:19:01.182 --> 00:19:02.183 align:center
Me?

00:19:03.893 --> 00:19:05.770 align:center
I barely even take sleeping aids anymore.

00:19:10.316 --> 00:19:14.570 align:center
Just spit it out already.
Why won't anybody tell me anything?

00:19:16.697 --> 00:19:18.324 align:center
It looks deliberate.

00:19:19.492 --> 00:19:21.243 align:center
It's not a medication you normally take.

00:19:21.911 --> 00:19:24.038 align:center
Even if it were,
the amount found in your system…

00:19:24.997 --> 00:19:25.998 align:center
Ah.

00:19:28.584 --> 00:19:29.710 align:center
You don't need to worry.

00:19:30.294 --> 00:19:32.337 align:center
The investigation is underway,
and the government…

00:19:32.338 --> 00:19:33.339 align:center
And His Royal Highness?

00:19:37.218 --> 00:19:38.761 align:center
The medication he usually takes…

00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:41.179 align:center
Did you check those?

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:45.810 align:center
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.358 align:center
Did Her Royal Highness mention

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.486 align:center
any abnormal symptoms prior to collapsing?

00:19:57.154 --> 00:19:58.238 align:center
No.

00:19:58.239 --> 00:20:01.157 align:center
Any preexisting conditions or allergies?

00:20:01.158 --> 00:20:05.246 align:center
Did you not review the report
prepared by my wife's attending physician?

00:20:10.459 --> 00:20:12.753 align:center
Her blood test results

00:20:13.963 --> 00:20:15.840 align:center
confirmed digoxin toxicity.

00:20:18.175 --> 00:20:21.386 align:center
By chance,
are you familiar with this medication?

00:20:21.387 --> 00:20:24.682 align:center
That's not a question
we agreed on beforehand.

00:20:25.641 --> 00:20:26.809 align:center
I am familiar.

00:20:27.852 --> 00:20:28.978 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:20:31.647 --> 00:20:32.648 align:center
It is a medication

00:20:34.567 --> 00:20:35.985 align:center
I have taken on occasion.

00:20:36.944 --> 00:20:38.529 align:center
Have you checked or not?

00:20:39.572 --> 00:20:40.573 align:center
Huiju.

00:20:46.662 --> 00:20:48.205 align:center
I made a mistake.

00:20:51.709 --> 00:20:53.753 align:center
The robe was so heavy,
and I tripped.

00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.757 align:center
I fell against the table.

00:20:59.049 --> 00:21:01.050 align:center
Ms. Do put the goblets back in place.

00:21:01.051 --> 00:21:02.553 align:center
That's when they were switched.

00:21:03.262 --> 00:21:04.555 align:center
Our goblets.

00:21:10.186 --> 00:21:11.312 align:center
Where is he right now?

00:21:15.024 --> 00:21:16.233 align:center
Huiju.

00:21:16.776 --> 00:21:18.693 align:center
What are you doing? Calm down!

00:21:18.694 --> 00:21:20.112 align:center
He's in danger right now!

00:21:22.198 --> 00:21:23.741 align:center
I believe I was the target.

00:21:25.910 --> 00:21:27.327 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:21:27.328 --> 00:21:28.746 align:center
May I ask why you think that?

00:21:30.164 --> 00:21:32.792 align:center
My wife, who doesn't normally
take that medication, survived.

00:21:34.585 --> 00:21:35.961 align:center
However, had I taken it…

00:21:39.089 --> 00:21:40.257 align:center
I would have died.

00:21:41.884 --> 00:21:43.260 align:center
It would've been a fatal dose.

00:21:48.766 --> 00:21:50.475 align:center
Why are you here? What about…

00:21:50.476 --> 00:21:51.560 align:center
Please go back inside.

00:21:52.144 --> 00:21:53.228 align:center
No, I need to--

00:21:53.229 --> 00:21:55.230 align:center
His Royal Highness commanded that

00:21:55.231 --> 00:21:56.941 align:center
your safety be placed above all else.

00:21:58.692 --> 00:21:59.693 align:center
Please go back inside.

00:22:00.903 --> 00:22:02.154 align:center
You stay here.

00:22:06.826 --> 00:22:07.952 align:center
I will go…

00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:10.746 align:center
to His Royal Highness.

00:22:55.082 --> 00:22:56.083 align:center
And Grand Prince I-AN?

00:22:56.584 --> 00:22:59.628 align:center
He is currently giving a statement
with Mr. Jung in attendance.

00:23:02.965 --> 00:23:03.965 align:center
At this hour?

00:23:03.966 --> 00:23:06.719 align:center
They've already started
searching his private residence too.

00:23:07.303 --> 00:23:09.470 align:center
All items used for the wedding,

00:23:09.471 --> 00:23:11.432 align:center
even the vehicles that transported them,

00:23:11.932 --> 00:23:13.809 align:center
are said to be subject
to search and seizure.

00:23:16.520 --> 00:23:18.606 align:center
Take care of any potential issues early.

00:23:19.148 --> 00:23:20.441 align:center
Make it clean, no loose ends.

00:23:21.025 --> 00:23:22.400 align:center
Do not worry, Your Majesty.

00:23:37.541 --> 00:23:38.666 align:center
Sir.

00:23:38.667 --> 00:23:40.628 align:center
These are the personnel files
you asked for.

00:23:42.254 --> 00:23:45.882 align:center
They include the attendants' family ties,
changes in assets, and their whereabouts

00:23:45.883 --> 00:23:47.676 align:center
and call history over the past month.

00:23:48.218 --> 00:23:49.803 align:center
And the Grand Prince's medical records?

00:23:52.181 --> 00:23:53.723 align:center
Everyone who accessed it recently

00:23:53.724 --> 00:23:55.642 align:center
are physicians
at the Royal Seoul Hospital.

00:23:55.643 --> 00:23:57.101 align:center
Less than ten total.

00:23:57.102 --> 00:23:59.854 align:center
Is Her Majesty's brother one of the ten?

00:23:59.855 --> 00:24:01.273 align:center
Yes, sir. Both of them.

00:24:04.193 --> 00:24:06.987 align:center
When will the Royal Seoul Hospital,
including them, be investigated?

00:24:07.571 --> 00:24:08.905 align:center
Well…

00:24:08.906 --> 00:24:09.949 align:center
Start now.

00:24:12.826 --> 00:24:13.911 align:center
Yes, sir. Understood.

00:24:30.302 --> 00:24:32.554 align:center
You should head to the palace
when you're done here.

00:24:33.472 --> 00:24:35.056 align:center
My wife is at the hospital.

00:24:35.057 --> 00:24:37.558 align:center
When the day breaks,
she will be escorted to the palace.

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.062 align:center
The palace will be safest for both of you.

00:24:44.483 --> 00:24:47.486 align:center
It is also the place
where you hold complete control.

00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:49.321 align:center
I shall handle

00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:51.490 align:center
all the matters beyond it.

00:24:57.538 --> 00:24:59.706 align:center
Your Royal Highness,
are you doing all right?

00:24:59.707 --> 00:25:01.916 align:center
The Grand Princess shall reside
in Anhwadang Hall.

00:25:01.917 --> 00:25:04.460 align:center
Pardon? But the private residence is
where she must--

00:25:04.461 --> 00:25:06.839 align:center
I will also assign new palace attendants.

00:25:08.090 --> 00:25:10.383 align:center
Royal security will also be reinforced.

00:25:10.384 --> 00:25:11.509 align:center
Prepare accordingly.

00:25:11.510 --> 00:25:12.511 align:center
Pardon?

00:25:15.889 --> 00:25:17.307 align:center
What we need is a fortress.

00:25:28.068 --> 00:25:29.862 align:center
A CATASTROPHIC DEBUT AT COURT

00:25:32.239 --> 00:25:33.866 align:center
Talk about a main character moment.

00:25:42.166 --> 00:25:44.083 align:center
The sun's up. It's already morning.

00:25:44.084 --> 00:25:45.918 align:center
Hmm?

00:25:45.919 --> 00:25:48.129 align:center
THE QUESTIONING WENT WELL

00:25:48.130 --> 00:25:49.048 align:center
PRINCE

00:25:51.133 --> 00:25:53.886 align:center
- Did you not sleep?
- Where are you? Are you okay?

00:25:54.803 --> 00:25:57.264 align:center
Wait. Is Jeongwoo there with you?

00:25:57.890 --> 00:25:58.891 align:center
No, he's not.

00:25:59.391 --> 00:26:02.560 align:center
I mean, why would you leave
your aide here?

00:26:02.561 --> 00:26:04.396 align:center
There are plenty of royal guards as it is.

00:26:05.147 --> 00:26:06.523 align:center
That should be a fun car ride.

00:26:07.149 --> 00:26:08.150 align:center
What?

00:26:08.734 --> 00:26:10.277 align:center
Come to the palace. Both of you.

00:26:14.031 --> 00:26:18.451 align:center
CASTLE HOSPITAL

00:26:31.006 --> 00:26:32.174 align:center
Huiju.

00:26:37.971 --> 00:26:40.598 align:center
- Hello, Aide Choi.
- Hello. You're back.

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:42.308 align:center
Why are you even back?

00:26:42.309 --> 00:26:44.186 align:center
I heard you're off to the palace soon.

00:26:45.687 --> 00:26:47.897 align:center
Is she really okay to be discharged now?

00:26:47.898 --> 00:26:51.400 align:center
Yes. The detox is complete,
so there shouldn't be any issues.

00:26:51.401 --> 00:26:55.113 align:center
Still, it would be best to keep her
on ECG monitoring

00:26:55.114 --> 00:26:57.490 align:center
at the palace for about two more days.

00:26:57.491 --> 00:26:58.616 align:center
I see. Thank you.

00:26:58.617 --> 00:26:59.660 align:center
- Thank you, sir.
- Sure.

00:27:02.162 --> 00:27:03.872 align:center
The palace has been notified, right?

00:27:04.581 --> 00:27:06.124 align:center
Yes. Anhwadang Hall already has--

00:27:06.125 --> 00:27:07.501 align:center
Excuse me.

00:27:08.085 --> 00:27:09.086 align:center
Dayeong.

00:27:09.711 --> 00:27:11.504 align:center
Father sent me.

00:27:13.465 --> 00:27:16.093 align:center
His Royal Highness also asked me for help.

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:19.387 align:center
He did?

00:27:21.014 --> 00:27:23.100 align:center
Your right-hand woman too.

00:27:26.478 --> 00:27:28.730 align:center
CASTLE HOSPITAL

00:27:30.148 --> 00:27:33.819 align:center
Gosh, you look so pretty
even when you're sick.

00:27:35.904 --> 00:27:37.948 align:center
Do I really look very pretty today too?

00:27:38.824 --> 00:27:40.492 align:center
Yes. Always very pretty, all the time.

00:27:41.076 --> 00:27:42.785 align:center
Geez, I can't believe this.

00:27:42.786 --> 00:27:44.663 align:center
Couldn't my beauty
have taken a break today?

00:27:45.914 --> 00:27:47.373 align:center
Do you have a cushion on you?

00:27:47.374 --> 00:27:48.959 align:center
- Cushion?
- This cushion.

00:27:54.006 --> 00:27:56.550 align:center
You weren't lying.

00:27:57.885 --> 00:27:58.886 align:center
How exhausting.

00:28:01.388 --> 00:28:02.930 align:center
What are you doing?

00:28:02.931 --> 00:28:06.142 align:center
The whole country saw me collapse live.

00:28:06.143 --> 00:28:08.020 align:center
I can't be this pretty
when I'm discharged.

00:28:08.770 --> 00:28:10.521 align:center
I checked the news early this morning.

00:28:10.522 --> 00:28:13.566 align:center
Online trolls are spreading some bullshit
about me being a jinx

00:28:13.567 --> 00:28:15.527 align:center
who brought bad luck
to the palace or whatever.

00:28:16.862 --> 00:28:18.071 align:center
Ah.

00:28:19.072 --> 00:28:22.575 align:center
The last time Taeju was in hot water,
the sympathy card worked best too.

00:28:22.576 --> 00:28:23.577 align:center
Let me.

00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:26.538 align:center
Hmm.

00:28:27.956 --> 00:28:29.165 align:center
Huiju.

00:28:29.166 --> 00:28:31.334 align:center
Try putting on a pitiful expression.

00:28:31.335 --> 00:28:32.336 align:center
Like this.

00:28:34.212 --> 00:28:36.131 align:center
Why go that far?

00:28:37.007 --> 00:28:38.299 align:center
Why not? Just try it.

00:28:38.300 --> 00:28:40.551 align:center
- You might as well go all out.
- Mm-mmm.

00:28:40.552 --> 00:28:42.011 align:center
- There she comes!
- Here she is!

00:28:44.723 --> 00:28:47.600 align:center
The Prime Minister's office suggested
a possible targeted attack.

00:28:47.601 --> 00:28:49.810 align:center
Can you give us
an update on your condition?

00:28:49.811 --> 00:28:52.271 align:center
Why were you not treated
at the Royal Seoul Hospital?

00:28:52.272 --> 00:28:54.358 align:center
Hold on. My goodness.

00:29:03.325 --> 00:29:04.867 align:center
Careful, Your Royal Highness.

00:29:23.929 --> 00:29:25.012 align:center
All right.

00:29:25.013 --> 00:29:27.932 align:center
It might feel a bit awkward,
since this isn't our usual approach.

00:29:27.933 --> 00:29:30.601 align:center
We're going for weak and feeble,
not tough and strong.

00:29:30.602 --> 00:29:32.521 align:center
But it shouldn't be that difficult.

00:29:33.021 --> 00:29:36.440 align:center
As the CEO of Castle Beauty,
she was a rich conglomerate heiress.

00:29:36.441 --> 00:29:39.527 align:center
But at the palace,
she's just a lowborn outcast.

00:29:39.528 --> 00:29:41.028 align:center
A CATASTROPHIC DEBUT AT COURT

00:29:41.029 --> 00:29:43.990 align:center
Make her out to be a tragic heroine.

00:29:43.991 --> 00:29:45.825 align:center
One that you'd totally want to root for.

00:29:45.826 --> 00:29:47.243 align:center
What's going on?

00:29:47.244 --> 00:29:48.744 align:center
VISIBLY GAUNT,
COUGHING CONTINUOUSLY

00:29:48.745 --> 00:29:50.413 align:center
My friend who works at the palace

00:29:50.414 --> 00:29:51.872 align:center
told me she collapsed there once before.

00:29:51.873 --> 00:29:53.290 align:center
The Queen Mother is so hard on her.

00:29:53.291 --> 00:29:55.418 align:center
If she didn't marry into the royal family,

00:29:55.419 --> 00:29:57.128 align:center
she'd be living large as an heiress.

00:29:57.129 --> 00:29:58.504 align:center
I feel bad for her.

00:30:22.487 --> 00:30:23.571 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:30:23.572 --> 00:30:26.825 align:center
The Royal Secretariat submitted
this month's official schedule.

00:30:29.411 --> 00:30:31.662 align:center
It seems the duties
assigned to the Grand Princess

00:30:31.663 --> 00:30:33.040 align:center
are being redistributed.

00:30:33.874 --> 00:30:37.419 align:center
They are wondering how much Your Majesty
is willing to take on in her stead…

00:30:40.797 --> 00:30:42.715 align:center
Inform them I shall assume all her duties.

00:30:42.716 --> 00:30:45.677 align:center
Pardon? All of them?

00:30:47.345 --> 00:30:49.597 align:center
We must present ourselves
as sisters-in-law

00:30:49.598 --> 00:30:51.349 align:center
in perfect accord.

00:31:18.668 --> 00:31:20.378 align:center
How shocked you must have been.

00:31:25.926 --> 00:31:28.136 align:center
I hear you will be staying
at the palace for now.

00:31:29.387 --> 00:31:32.139 align:center
As it happens,
I have just ordered that all duties

00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:34.934 align:center
assigned to you be transferred to me.

00:31:34.935 --> 00:31:37.061 align:center
Just attend to your recovery.

00:31:37.062 --> 00:31:40.564 align:center
It appears
Her Royal Highness is feeling faint.

00:31:40.565 --> 00:31:42.776 align:center
Goodness.
Are you okay, Your Royal Highness?

00:31:45.904 --> 00:31:47.780 align:center
Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness--

00:31:47.781 --> 00:31:48.782 align:center
I heard.

00:31:51.076 --> 00:31:52.327 align:center
Please make your way inside.

00:31:57.457 --> 00:31:59.751 align:center
Forgive me, Your Majesty.

00:32:18.228 --> 00:32:20.062 align:center
The Queen Mother shall lend

00:32:20.063 --> 00:32:22.190 align:center
her cooperation in preparing

00:32:22.691 --> 00:32:25.193 align:center
a statement today,
and His Majesty by tomorrow.

00:32:25.861 --> 00:32:27.070 align:center
However,

00:32:27.571 --> 00:32:28.905 align:center
Her Majesty has indicated

00:32:29.948 --> 00:32:32.200 align:center
she will be present
for His Majesty's statement.

00:32:44.838 --> 00:32:45.839 align:center
The request is denied.

00:32:47.674 --> 00:32:48.675 align:center
Her Majesty

00:32:49.342 --> 00:32:51.803 align:center
holds the dignity of the palace above all.

00:32:52.470 --> 00:32:54.306 align:center
I do not intend to take issue with that.

00:32:55.348 --> 00:32:57.767 align:center
However, I wish to ease
His Majesty's burden as much as possible.

00:32:59.686 --> 00:33:01.020 align:center
But His Majesty is--

00:33:01.021 --> 00:33:02.522 align:center
He should be capable of that much.

00:33:05.817 --> 00:33:08.987 align:center
He is the sovereign
of a nation, after all.

00:33:15.952 --> 00:33:16.953 align:center
Your Majesty?

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:18.705 align:center
Aunt.

00:33:21.333 --> 00:33:23.126 align:center
Are you feeling all right?

00:33:23.710 --> 00:33:25.878 align:center
I heard you were sick.

00:33:25.879 --> 00:33:27.505 align:center
Ah, were you worried about me?

00:33:29.132 --> 00:33:31.508 align:center
I heard the police

00:33:31.509 --> 00:33:34.846 align:center
are coming into the palace
because you fainted.

00:33:35.972 --> 00:33:39.768 align:center
It is because they are curious.

00:33:40.352 --> 00:33:42.353 align:center
They want to know
if indigestion was to blame

00:33:42.354 --> 00:33:44.063 align:center
or if someone pushed me.

00:33:44.064 --> 00:33:46.607 align:center
No one pushed you.

00:33:46.608 --> 00:33:48.984 align:center
Yes.

00:33:48.985 --> 00:33:51.780 align:center
They are investigating
because they want to know those things.

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:55.783 align:center
Aide Choi, they are asking you
questions too, right?

00:33:55.784 --> 00:33:58.369 align:center
Pardon? Yes, of course.

00:33:58.370 --> 00:34:01.205 align:center
They are asking me. Court Lady Choi too.

00:34:01.206 --> 00:34:02.289 align:center
You too, right?

00:34:02.290 --> 00:34:05.167 align:center
Even the street cats
will be questioned, Your Majesty.

00:34:05.168 --> 00:34:08.295 align:center
Might you be a dummy?

00:34:08.296 --> 00:34:09.380 align:center
Pardon?

00:34:09.381 --> 00:34:11.590 align:center
Cats cannot talk.

00:34:19.140 --> 00:34:21.059 align:center
- Your Royal Highness.
- Uncle!

00:34:28.316 --> 00:34:29.359 align:center
Uncle.

00:34:32.362 --> 00:34:33.363 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:35:12.277 --> 00:35:14.486 align:center
Ms. Do!

00:35:14.487 --> 00:35:15.905 align:center
- Hello.
- Wait.

00:35:16.406 --> 00:35:18.783 align:center
Now, you're Aide Do
of the Grand Prince's office.

00:35:20.285 --> 00:35:21.286 align:center
Right.

00:35:22.203 --> 00:35:23.829 align:center
Hello.

00:35:23.830 --> 00:35:24.956 align:center
Regarding Ms. Seong…

00:35:27.542 --> 00:35:28.917 align:center
It's just refusing to stick.

00:35:28.918 --> 00:35:30.795 align:center
I know, right?

00:35:31.630 --> 00:35:35.007 align:center
Thank you for helping out
with the discharge of Her Royal Highness.

00:35:35.008 --> 00:35:38.052 align:center
It was nothing. We're family, after all.

00:35:38.053 --> 00:35:39.804 align:center
Where is Her Royal Highness?

00:35:44.225 --> 00:35:46.977 align:center
My wife still does not know
her way around the palace.

00:35:46.978 --> 00:35:48.563 align:center
She will require the most attentive care.

00:35:49.064 --> 00:35:50.815 align:center
I will bear that in mind,
Your Royal Highness.

00:35:51.358 --> 00:35:55.277 align:center
Until new palace attendants are assigned,
the only people permitted in her presence

00:35:55.278 --> 00:35:59.365 align:center
shall be you, Aide Choi,
Aide Do, and Ms. Han Dayeong.

00:35:59.366 --> 00:36:02.409 align:center
- Yes, Your Royal Highness.
- Furthermore, my wife

00:36:02.410 --> 00:36:04.245 align:center
- has trouble sleeping--
- Your Royal Highness.

00:36:05.622 --> 00:36:07.207 align:center
Yes? Are you feeling unwell?

00:36:07.791 --> 00:36:08.792 align:center
I'd like…

00:36:09.876 --> 00:36:11.544 align:center
some alone time with you.

00:36:14.839 --> 00:36:16.508 align:center
Is that not allowed?

00:36:19.594 --> 00:36:20.595 align:center
No?

00:36:22.847 --> 00:36:23.848 align:center
Right.

00:36:24.432 --> 00:36:25.433 align:center
Leave us.

00:36:26.351 --> 00:36:27.518 align:center
Leave!

00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.520 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:43.617 align:center
We must be understanding.

00:36:43.618 --> 00:36:44.994 align:center
They are newlyweds, after all.

00:36:47.330 --> 00:36:48.331 align:center
Newlyweds.

00:36:50.917 --> 00:36:52.335 align:center
My goodness.

00:37:06.141 --> 00:37:07.976 align:center
Is this why you wanted to be alone?

00:37:09.561 --> 00:37:10.895 align:center
You know,

00:37:11.438 --> 00:37:13.982 align:center
I really thought I could remain unfazed
by my new title.

00:37:16.151 --> 00:37:18.695 align:center
But now that everyone is calling me,
"Your Royal Highness"…

00:37:21.197 --> 00:37:22.699 align:center
I can't help but be a bit cautious.

00:37:23.825 --> 00:37:27.162 align:center
It feels like I should be
the epitome of elegance every second.

00:37:27.954 --> 00:37:31.081 align:center
Everyone is monitoring me,
both at the hospital and here.

00:37:31.082 --> 00:37:32.417 align:center
Not monitoring. Protecting.

00:37:37.672 --> 00:37:40.216 align:center
And the questioning? Did it go well?

00:37:41.968 --> 00:37:44.220 align:center
Well… I almost fell asleep.

00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:46.681 align:center
But it was fine.

00:37:51.811 --> 00:37:55.440 align:center
Listen, I've been thinking about it…

00:37:57.734 --> 00:38:01.196 align:center
And I think you're the one
who needs protection,

00:38:02.113 --> 00:38:03.740 align:center
not me.

00:38:10.538 --> 00:38:11.664 align:center
I know.

00:38:12.207 --> 00:38:13.208 align:center
What?

00:38:14.375 --> 00:38:16.043 align:center
How are you so calm?

00:38:16.044 --> 00:38:18.170 align:center
- Because I'm relieved.
- About what?

00:38:18.171 --> 00:38:20.924 align:center
I would be terrified right now
if you were the target.

00:38:22.634 --> 00:38:23.718 align:center
But if I'm the target…

00:38:25.887 --> 00:38:26.888 align:center
I thank the heavens.

00:38:38.358 --> 00:38:39.567 align:center
Ah!

00:38:42.362 --> 00:38:43.695 align:center
Have you lost your mind?

00:38:43.696 --> 00:38:46.657 align:center
And if you make me a widow? What then?

00:38:46.658 --> 00:38:48.909 align:center
Why are you thanking the heavens?

00:38:48.910 --> 00:38:51.954 align:center
You expect me to live
in the palace alone? Without you?

00:38:51.955 --> 00:38:52.956 align:center
Stop it already.

00:38:57.126 --> 00:38:59.295 align:center
If something terrible happens to you…

00:39:04.551 --> 00:39:06.010 align:center
I can't even get divorced.

00:39:13.309 --> 00:39:14.393 align:center
You think this is funny?

00:39:14.394 --> 00:39:16.563 align:center
You have a dramatic way
of expressing concern.

00:39:23.361 --> 00:39:24.445 align:center
Just lie down.

00:39:31.202 --> 00:39:32.287 align:center
You're a royal now.

00:39:33.413 --> 00:39:34.706 align:center
So what?

00:39:35.373 --> 00:39:37.417 align:center
Do I have to keep quiet
even if I'm being targeted?

00:39:40.086 --> 00:39:42.046 align:center
You must exercise your royal powers.

00:39:44.215 --> 00:39:45.216 align:center
Which are?

00:39:47.260 --> 00:39:48.760 align:center
INVITATION TO ROYAL ACADEMY
80TH ANNIVERSARY

00:39:48.761 --> 00:39:49.762 align:center
SCHEDULE OF PUBLIC EVENTS

00:39:52.891 --> 00:39:55.267 align:center
- Fashion Week.
- Oh, Fashion Week?

00:39:55.268 --> 00:39:58.229 align:center
In grand assemblies,
you shall embody the pride of the realm.

00:40:03.484 --> 00:40:04.485 align:center
Right.

00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:09.407 align:center
And in places of honor,

00:40:10.241 --> 00:40:11.618 align:center
you shall embody its glory…

00:40:13.578 --> 00:40:14.787 align:center
to be loved?

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:17.122 align:center
Hmm?

00:40:17.123 --> 00:40:20.376 align:center
Who would dare harm a person who is
the nation's pride and glory?

00:40:22.795 --> 00:40:25.839 align:center
Does that belief embolden you
to be so reckless?

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:27.926 align:center
Because you are
"the nation's pride and glory"?

00:40:30.929 --> 00:40:32.596 align:center
I was never reckless.

00:40:32.597 --> 00:40:33.598 align:center
I just sometimes

00:40:34.557 --> 00:40:35.600 align:center
do what I want to do.

00:40:38.102 --> 00:40:39.269 align:center
Oh.

00:40:39.270 --> 00:40:41.104 align:center
- I don't know what to do.
- About what?

00:40:41.105 --> 00:40:42.190 align:center
Earlier, the Queen Mother

00:40:42.690 --> 00:40:44.901 align:center
said she'd perform
my public duties on my behalf.

00:40:45.485 --> 00:40:46.945 align:center
Oh, that?

00:40:47.570 --> 00:40:48.821 align:center
It's fine.

00:40:51.532 --> 00:40:52.533 align:center
I denied her request.

00:41:00.208 --> 00:41:02.209 align:center
There is to be no change to my schedule?

00:41:02.210 --> 00:41:03.544 align:center
His Royal Highness

00:41:04.295 --> 00:41:06.923 align:center
stated that all public duties
will be duly fulfilled,

00:41:08.216 --> 00:41:10.676 align:center
and that Your Majesty does not need

00:41:10.677 --> 00:41:11.843 align:center
to worry herself.

00:41:15.264 --> 00:41:17.850 align:center
It appears the Grand Prince refuses
to exercise any caution.

00:41:22.689 --> 00:41:25.149 align:center
Your Majesty,
Lord INPYEONG has arrived.

00:41:33.574 --> 00:41:34.701 align:center
Show him in.

00:41:44.711 --> 00:41:48.006 align:center
You should refrain from visiting
the palace for the time being.

00:41:54.595 --> 00:41:57.849 align:center
I fear it may give rise
to unnecessary misunderstanding.

00:42:02.562 --> 00:42:03.646 align:center
Your Majesty

00:42:04.313 --> 00:42:06.274 align:center
would do well to exercise some caution.

00:42:08.317 --> 00:42:09.652 align:center
Do you care to elaborate?

00:42:11.195 --> 00:42:13.281 align:center
I meant nothing by it.

00:42:13.781 --> 00:42:14.782 align:center
I…

00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:18.411 align:center
only fear it may give rise

00:42:19.454 --> 00:42:21.080 align:center
to unnecessary misunderstanding.

00:42:43.895 --> 00:42:44.896 align:center
Sir.

00:42:53.112 --> 00:42:56.365 align:center
They discovered traces of digoxin
in a goblet used in the wedding rites.

00:42:58.743 --> 00:42:59.993 align:center
FORENSIC EXAMINATION REPORT

00:42:59.994 --> 00:43:01.912 align:center
GOBLET CONTAINING
TRACES OF DIGOXIN

00:43:01.913 --> 00:43:03.122 align:center
They were switched then.

00:43:03.748 --> 00:43:04.957 align:center
Our goblets.

00:43:06.375 --> 00:43:07.960 align:center
The medication he usually takes…

00:43:09.128 --> 00:43:10.421 align:center
Did you check those?

00:43:11.756 --> 00:43:13.965 align:center
What are you doing? Calm down!

00:43:13.966 --> 00:43:15.593 align:center
He's in danger right now!

00:43:20.515 --> 00:43:22.433 align:center
Sir, Ms. Lee Areum has arrived.

00:43:41.619 --> 00:43:43.955 align:center
What? You're really that swamped?

00:43:45.123 --> 00:43:47.250 align:center
There you go with that nagging again.

00:43:48.209 --> 00:43:50.710 align:center
I swear I'm perfectly fine.

00:43:50.711 --> 00:43:52.088 align:center
Stop worrying for no reason.

00:44:04.142 --> 00:44:05.100 align:center
Oh…

00:44:05.101 --> 00:44:06.853 align:center
- Hello? Ms. Seong?
- Hey. I'm here.

00:44:07.854 --> 00:44:09.021 align:center
Yeah.

00:44:09.689 --> 00:44:10.981 align:center
Are you okay?

00:44:10.982 --> 00:44:12.900 align:center
Yeah, so nice. I mean, it's fine.

00:44:13.776 --> 00:44:14.819 align:center
See you tomorrow.

00:44:19.282 --> 00:44:21.200 align:center
It's our first night as a married couple.

00:44:30.835 --> 00:44:31.919 align:center
Are you ready?

00:44:52.940 --> 00:44:54.149 align:center
No way.

00:44:54.150 --> 00:44:57.278 align:center
I'm sure no one knows their way
around the palace better than me.

00:44:58.154 --> 00:45:00.739 align:center
That only shows you the main pathways.

00:45:00.740 --> 00:45:02.449 align:center
If you want to follow that,

00:45:02.450 --> 00:45:04.493 align:center
you should be prepared
to walk 12,000 steps.

00:45:04.994 --> 00:45:06.077 align:center
Are you sure?

00:45:06.078 --> 00:45:07.495 align:center
You should trust me.

00:45:07.496 --> 00:45:08.872 align:center
If you go this way,

00:45:08.873 --> 00:45:10.541 align:center
you'll be in your room in ten minutes.

00:45:15.296 --> 00:45:17.798 align:center
When did you start working at the palace?

00:45:19.133 --> 00:45:20.300 align:center
What?

00:45:20.301 --> 00:45:23.012 align:center
I mean, you're still pretty young.

00:45:23.512 --> 00:45:25.722 align:center
But you know everything,
like you were born here.

00:45:25.723 --> 00:45:27.183 align:center
From the staff to the pathways.

00:45:28.643 --> 00:45:32.230 align:center
I'm not exactly sure.
I think I was five or six?

00:45:33.064 --> 00:45:34.065 align:center
What?

00:45:34.565 --> 00:45:35.900 align:center
I'm an orphan, you see.

00:45:37.193 --> 00:45:39.737 align:center
I heard I was abandoned
in front of the private residence.

00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:44.242 align:center
Sorry.

00:45:45.076 --> 00:45:46.159 align:center
Pardon?

00:45:46.160 --> 00:45:49.330 align:center
I shouldn't have asked. Right?

00:45:49.914 --> 00:45:51.790 align:center
Oh! No, it's perfectly fine.

00:45:51.791 --> 00:45:53.084 align:center
You see,

00:45:53.626 --> 00:45:57.004 align:center
I'm really grateful to my parents.

00:45:57.588 --> 00:46:00.590 align:center
I grew up surrounded by love
at the private residence.

00:46:00.591 --> 00:46:03.218 align:center
Of all places, I just happened
to be abandoned right in front

00:46:03.219 --> 00:46:04.971 align:center
of the Grand Prince's house.

00:46:05.721 --> 00:46:08.807 align:center
You could say
I'm sort of a "lucky guy."

00:46:28.369 --> 00:46:31.121 align:center
What are you doing?
We need to make it in 10 minutes.

00:46:31.122 --> 00:46:32.123 align:center
Right.

00:46:34.417 --> 00:46:35.418 align:center
What's wrong with you?

00:46:56.522 --> 00:46:59.774 align:center
Will you not even consider the sofa?

00:46:59.775 --> 00:47:00.776 align:center
No.

00:47:01.444 --> 00:47:02.903 align:center
This is perfectly fine.

00:47:03.696 --> 00:47:05.406 align:center
The sofa would be perfectly fine too.

00:47:06.198 --> 00:47:07.408 align:center
Then you should go.

00:47:08.492 --> 00:47:09.785 align:center
That'd be perfect.

00:47:13.164 --> 00:47:14.373 align:center
I'm the patient here.

00:47:25.092 --> 00:47:26.510 align:center
Seriously?

00:47:29.972 --> 00:47:31.348 align:center
Just sleep already.

00:47:31.349 --> 00:47:33.893 align:center
Want everyone to think
I was cast aside on our first night?

00:48:00.586 --> 00:48:02.254 align:center
Should we turn that off?

00:48:06.050 --> 00:48:07.133 align:center
Just leave it.

00:48:09.345 --> 00:48:10.846 align:center
But it's so loud.

00:48:12.473 --> 00:48:14.225 align:center
It's proof you're alive.

00:48:22.358 --> 00:48:23.359 align:center
I like the sound of it.

00:48:41.502 --> 00:48:42.837 align:center
I'm just reassuring you.

00:48:44.797 --> 00:48:46.298 align:center
I'm right here.

00:49:45.399 --> 00:49:48.234 align:center
Both her blood pressure
and pulse are stable.

00:49:48.235 --> 00:49:49.278 align:center
Thank you.

00:49:50.446 --> 00:49:51.447 align:center
Ms. Do--

00:49:52.198 --> 00:49:53.199 align:center
Aide Do!

00:49:53.991 --> 00:49:55.034 align:center
Yes?

00:50:00.164 --> 00:50:01.664 align:center
I didn't call for you.

00:50:01.665 --> 00:50:05.251 align:center
I know, but you should ask for me
for the time being.

00:50:05.252 --> 00:50:08.129 align:center
I will be the chief aide
of the Grand Princess for now.

00:50:08.130 --> 00:50:09.380 align:center
- Why?
- Mmm,

00:50:09.381 --> 00:50:11.633 align:center
because you'll need
an experienced aide

00:50:11.634 --> 00:50:14.427 align:center
well-versed in royal duties by your side

00:50:14.428 --> 00:50:16.137 align:center
to facilitate your swift transition.

00:50:16.138 --> 00:50:18.389 align:center
Th-Then what about my Ms. Do?

00:50:18.390 --> 00:50:19.558 align:center
Where is my Hyejeong?

00:50:20.434 --> 00:50:22.685 align:center
- What did you do with her?
- She's safe.

00:50:22.686 --> 00:50:23.937 align:center
Hyejeong!

00:50:23.938 --> 00:50:27.190 align:center
It's a Royal Academy event,
so security shouldn't be a major issue.

00:50:27.191 --> 00:50:30.109 align:center
It's a small-scale event
that will be held indoors.

00:50:33.614 --> 00:50:36.491 align:center
You should be familiar
with most of the guests.

00:50:36.492 --> 00:50:37.868 align:center
They're all former students.

00:50:51.215 --> 00:50:52.841 align:center
Anyone I should be mindful of?

00:50:53.592 --> 00:50:54.801 align:center
Prime Minister Min Jeongwoo.

00:50:54.802 --> 00:50:56.678 align:center
He is set to deliver the opening address.

00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:58.806 align:center
Your Royal Highness
will present the scholarship.

00:51:08.899 --> 00:51:11.985 align:center
There are a few protocols
you must follow during official duties.

00:51:11.986 --> 00:51:15.113 align:center
First, you must never walk
ahead of His Royal Highness.

00:51:15.114 --> 00:51:18.909 align:center
Hold on. This was something I mentioned
for the Inner Court Banquet as well.

00:51:19.451 --> 00:51:21.828 align:center
Court rank is very important
in official events.

00:51:21.829 --> 00:51:23.914 align:center
I understand.

00:51:24.582 --> 00:51:26.124 align:center
Yes. Thank you.

00:51:26.125 --> 00:51:29.085 align:center
You will sometimes come across
people who hand you flowers or letters.

00:51:29.086 --> 00:51:30.420 align:center
You should accept all of them.

00:51:30.421 --> 00:51:32.171 align:center
- All of them?
- Yes, all of them.

00:51:32.172 --> 00:51:34.549 align:center
And your photo could be taken at any time.

00:51:34.550 --> 00:51:36.092 align:center
So try not to appear

00:51:36.093 --> 00:51:38.553 align:center
expressionless or put on that face
you just gave me.

00:51:38.554 --> 00:51:40.388 align:center
There you go again.

00:51:40.389 --> 00:51:41.932 align:center
You cannot do that.

00:51:42.516 --> 00:51:46.519 align:center
Also, you must observe rank when offering
a handshake or initiating a conversation.

00:51:46.520 --> 00:51:49.522 align:center
His Royal Highness is first.
You come second.

00:51:49.523 --> 00:51:52.483 align:center
Does that mean no one can speak to me
if I don't speak to them first?

00:51:52.484 --> 00:51:53.651 align:center
Correct.

00:51:53.652 --> 00:51:55.612 align:center
And you can never show bare feet.

00:51:55.613 --> 00:51:58.656 align:center
If there are no slippers available,
please keep your shoes on.

00:51:58.657 --> 00:52:01.701 align:center
Crossing your legs while seated
is strictly forbidden,

00:52:01.702 --> 00:52:02.869 align:center
so please be careful.

00:52:02.870 --> 00:52:06.080 align:center
No peace signs or finger hearts
when being photographed.

00:52:06.081 --> 00:52:07.875 align:center
Cheek hearts? Definitely not.

00:52:08.375 --> 00:52:10.585 align:center
Then what exactly am I supposed to do?

00:52:10.586 --> 00:52:12.171 align:center
Something simple.

00:52:13.130 --> 00:52:14.797 align:center
Maybe a simple wave?

00:52:17.384 --> 00:52:18.510 align:center
Ah…

00:52:19.803 --> 00:52:22.013 align:center
I should wear this one today.

00:52:22.014 --> 00:52:24.850 align:center
I should do my part to boost
our affiliate's revenue again.

00:52:25.684 --> 00:52:26.976 align:center
What do you think?

00:52:26.977 --> 00:52:28.145 align:center
Good choice.

00:52:29.813 --> 00:52:31.357 align:center
So pretty. Hmm.

00:52:33.525 --> 00:52:35.151 align:center
Ready to go?

00:52:37.655 --> 00:52:39.073 align:center
I will be after you change.

00:52:40.824 --> 00:52:42.993 align:center
Why? Do I look weird?

00:52:43.827 --> 00:52:46.579 align:center
It's our first official appearance
as a married couple.

00:52:46.580 --> 00:52:49.123 align:center
Our outfits should look coordinated.

00:52:49.124 --> 00:52:52.085 align:center
Such a gloomy outfit. Right?

00:52:52.086 --> 00:52:53.545 align:center
- My thoughts exactly.
- Mmm.

00:52:55.255 --> 00:52:56.589 align:center
Just look at it.

00:52:56.590 --> 00:52:58.049 align:center
So shiny!

00:52:58.050 --> 00:52:59.134 align:center
Wow.

00:52:59.635 --> 00:53:01.761 align:center
We must leave a record of this. Right?

00:53:01.762 --> 00:53:03.638 align:center
All right now. Here we go.

00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:04.973 align:center
Look right over here.

00:53:05.474 --> 00:53:07.308 align:center
Let's try smiling.

00:53:07.309 --> 00:53:08.851 align:center
Oh, my gosh.

00:53:08.852 --> 00:53:10.270 align:center
- Oh, my goodness.
- Shall we?

00:53:10.854 --> 00:53:12.230 align:center
Shall we take this to the hallway?

00:53:12.231 --> 00:53:14.233 align:center
Come on now. Here we go.

00:53:15.818 --> 00:53:17.402 align:center
Does it look gloomy?

00:53:17.403 --> 00:53:20.113 align:center
Absolutely not.
You look so cool right now.

00:53:20.114 --> 00:53:21.197 align:center
"Gloomy"?

00:53:21.198 --> 00:53:23.992 align:center
How could she say that
to the world's most handsome man?

00:53:29.665 --> 00:53:31.791 align:center
- Sir.
- I was actually just on my way out.

00:53:31.792 --> 00:53:33.210 align:center
You need to take a look at this.

00:53:44.179 --> 00:53:46.681 align:center
Criticism of the Crown
will be unavoidable.

00:53:46.682 --> 00:53:47.641 align:center
What do you think?

00:54:28.348 --> 00:54:29.725 align:center
Aren't we going inside?

00:54:30.768 --> 00:54:32.186 align:center
Enough of that. Take my arm.

00:54:33.312 --> 00:54:35.188 align:center
Why? I'm busy being loved.

00:54:35.189 --> 00:54:37.816 align:center
Go on without me.

00:54:45.032 --> 00:54:46.200 align:center
They look so affectionate.

00:54:46.700 --> 00:54:47.701 align:center
I know, right?

00:55:09.890 --> 00:55:12.433 align:center
I made it so crystal clear

00:55:12.434 --> 00:55:15.102 align:center
that you can't do these finger hearts…

00:55:15.103 --> 00:55:16.521 align:center
Please stop that.

00:55:16.522 --> 00:55:18.147 align:center
Come on now.

00:55:18.148 --> 00:55:19.775 align:center
P-Please stop, Your Royal Highness.

00:55:20.567 --> 00:55:21.777 align:center
Yes, sure.

00:55:22.277 --> 00:55:23.402 align:center
Thank you.

00:55:24.905 --> 00:55:27.490 align:center
Your Royal Highness,
that was the prime minister's office.

00:55:27.491 --> 00:55:28.950 align:center
He's going to be a little late.

00:55:28.951 --> 00:55:30.285 align:center
- Really?
- Jeongwoo is?

00:55:30.953 --> 00:55:31.954 align:center
Can you…

00:55:32.663 --> 00:55:34.706 align:center
stop addressing him like that?

00:55:36.833 --> 00:55:38.709 align:center
I'm not supposed to call him by his name?

00:55:38.710 --> 00:55:42.005 align:center
- "Prime Minister Min."
- You should first review this.

00:55:42.589 --> 00:55:43.923 align:center
Why?

00:55:43.924 --> 00:55:45.467 align:center
They sent over the opening address.

00:55:45.968 --> 00:55:47.843 align:center
Since he is presenting the scholarships,

00:55:47.844 --> 00:55:50.597 align:center
wouldn't it be nice
if you delivered the opening address?

00:56:08.115 --> 00:56:10.158 align:center
Hello, I am Seong Huiju.

00:56:15.622 --> 00:56:17.374 align:center
Being back at my alma mater,

00:56:17.958 --> 00:56:20.334 align:center
I feel like I should be
introducing myself by saying,

00:56:20.335 --> 00:56:22.004 align:center
"I am Seong Huiju of Jujak House."

00:56:23.338 --> 00:56:26.133 align:center
Another part of me wants to celebrate
my success since graduating

00:56:27.217 --> 00:56:29.469 align:center
by presenting myself
as Seong Huiju, the Executive Director

00:56:30.053 --> 00:56:31.471 align:center
of Castle Group.

00:56:32.681 --> 00:56:36.310 align:center
However, I am sure
all of you would most like to hear,

00:56:38.145 --> 00:56:39.187 align:center
"Hello,

00:56:40.022 --> 00:56:41.690 align:center
I am Grand Princess Seong Huiju."

00:56:43.525 --> 00:56:44.734 align:center
Am I right?

00:56:50.782 --> 00:56:52.451 align:center
She's unbelievable.

00:56:54.578 --> 00:56:56.455 align:center
She's so good, isn't she?

00:57:16.808 --> 00:57:18.060 align:center
Eighty years ago,

00:57:18.644 --> 00:57:20.728 align:center
when the Royal Academy was founded,

00:57:20.729 --> 00:57:23.690 align:center
the Crown pursued but one ideal.

00:57:24.650 --> 00:57:27.736 align:center
Any who aspired to become something

00:57:28.654 --> 00:57:29.988 align:center
shall be allowed to do so,

00:57:30.614 --> 00:57:32.949 align:center
without regard to background

00:57:33.659 --> 00:57:35.034 align:center
or gender.

00:57:35.035 --> 00:57:38.538 align:center
I, too, was a beneficiary of that mission,

00:57:39.581 --> 00:57:40.749 align:center
and as you can see,

00:57:41.333 --> 00:57:45.294 align:center
I managed to make
all my aspirations a reality.

00:57:47.839 --> 00:57:48.882 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:57:57.974 --> 00:58:00.976 align:center
A PERSON OF VIRTUE
TAKES RIGHTEOUSNESS…

00:58:00.977 --> 00:58:02.396 align:center
TAKEN AS FOUNDATION

00:58:07.275 --> 00:58:08.694 align:center
There is an emergency, Your Majesty.

00:58:09.945 --> 00:58:11.487 align:center
What is it?

00:58:11.488 --> 00:58:14.074 align:center
If there is something that you want,

00:58:15.075 --> 00:58:16.158 align:center
do not hesitate…

00:58:16.159 --> 00:58:18.286 align:center
…and claim it for yourself.

00:58:20.747 --> 00:58:23.166 align:center
As your senior alum and patron,

00:58:24.042 --> 00:58:26.378 align:center
with ironclad resolve…

00:58:33.510 --> 00:58:35.595 align:center
With ironclad resolve…

00:58:40.475 --> 00:58:43.060 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:58:43.061 --> 00:58:45.813 align:center
Do you have anything to say for yourself?

00:58:45.814 --> 00:58:47.523 align:center
Did you deceive the people?

00:58:47.524 --> 00:58:50.068 align:center
There was a confidentiality
clause. What are you hiding?

00:58:51.403 --> 00:58:53.946 align:center
THE ROYAL COUPLE'S
MARRIAGE CONTRACT LEAKED

00:58:57.284 --> 00:58:59.618 align:center
