PERFECT CROWN

00:00:59.851 --> 00:01:01.060 align:center
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

00:01:01.061 --> 00:01:03.062 align:center
CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS
WERE FILMED SAFELY

00:01:03.063 --> 00:01:04.730 align:center
PROMISING THE END, NOT FOREVER…

00:01:04.731 --> 00:01:06.732 align:center
THE ROYAL COUPLE'S
MARRIAGE CONTRACT LEAKED

00:01:08.026 --> 00:01:10.278 align:center
Is it true that
the marriage is contractual?

00:01:10.279 --> 00:01:13.406 align:center
Is it true you plan to
divorce in three years? Please respond!

00:01:13.407 --> 00:01:15.741 align:center
ROYAL ACADEMY
80TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

00:01:15.742 --> 00:01:17.577 align:center
Did you intentionally
deceive the people?

00:01:17.578 --> 00:01:19.454 align:center
This is a betrayal of the public!

00:01:24.626 --> 00:01:26.795 align:center
What has Castle Group
promised the Crown?

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:47.774 align:center
- Is it true?
- Are the allegations true?

00:01:49.318 --> 00:01:50.444 align:center
What are you doing?

00:01:52.821 --> 00:01:53.822 align:center
Keep your eyes on me.

00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:28.940 align:center
PERFECT CROWN

EPISODE 9

00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:39.076 align:center
Let's get you out first.

00:02:39.576 --> 00:02:40.577 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:02:41.453 --> 00:02:44.747 align:center
It's swarming with reporters
and students outside.

00:02:44.748 --> 00:02:46.457 align:center
What should we do?

00:02:46.458 --> 00:02:48.752 align:center
- And the Royal Guard?
- We had dispatched the bare minimum.

00:02:55.842 --> 00:02:56.967 align:center
I'll leave first.

00:02:56.968 --> 00:02:58.678 align:center
- You two can--
- Your Royal Highness!

00:02:58.679 --> 00:02:59.846 align:center
I don't want to.

00:03:04.101 --> 00:03:05.226 align:center
Let's leave together.

00:03:26.415 --> 00:03:28.040 align:center
There they are!

00:03:28.041 --> 00:03:29.835 align:center
Any words
for the people watching?

00:03:30.335 --> 00:03:31.628 align:center
Is it all true?

00:03:34.714 --> 00:03:36.549 align:center
Are the allegations true?

00:03:36.550 --> 00:03:38.217 align:center
What comes after divorce?

00:03:38.218 --> 00:03:40.636 align:center
- Are you confirming the allegations?
- Your Royal Highness!

00:03:40.637 --> 00:03:41.888 align:center
- Are you okay?
- Yes.

00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:45.641 align:center
- Your Royal Highness, what say you?
- Are the allegations true?

00:03:45.642 --> 00:03:48.477 align:center
- Your Royal Highness!
- Please give us a response!

00:03:48.478 --> 00:03:49.895 align:center
Are the allegations true?

00:03:49.896 --> 00:03:52.064 align:center
Is it true that
this is a marriage of convenience?

00:03:55.485 --> 00:03:57.820 align:center
- Oh, no…
- They're tinted windows, Hyejeong.

00:03:57.821 --> 00:03:59.947 align:center
Really? Thank goodness.

00:04:08.081 --> 00:04:09.249 align:center
Right.

00:04:14.713 --> 00:04:16.465 align:center
Why isn't this working?

00:04:19.843 --> 00:04:21.552 align:center
They should be okay, right?

00:04:21.553 --> 00:04:24.222 align:center
I think so.
They have Prime Minister Min, so…

00:04:27.642 --> 00:04:31.145 align:center
Right. I should update
the Royal Guard.

00:04:31.146 --> 00:04:34.940 align:center
Right. I should also update
the Royal Secretariat.

00:04:34.941 --> 00:04:37.360 align:center
Is there any truth
to the allegations?

00:04:39.029 --> 00:04:40.947 align:center
Any response
to the allegations?

00:04:46.369 --> 00:04:47.454 align:center
We must hurry!

00:04:53.376 --> 00:04:54.586 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:04:56.505 --> 00:04:58.632 align:center
Where are the Grand Prince and Princess?

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.468 align:center
You see, they are…

00:05:13.688 --> 00:05:15.774 align:center
Reporters are camped out
in front of the palace.

00:05:16.483 --> 00:05:17.984 align:center
This should be the safest option.

00:05:18.568 --> 00:05:19.569 align:center
Sir.

00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:22.822 align:center
The party is asking
about the crisis meeting.

00:05:22.823 --> 00:05:24.657 align:center
Tell them they'll have to wait.

00:05:24.658 --> 00:05:27.743 align:center
Make sure no one talks to the press
to avoid speculative coverage.

00:05:27.744 --> 00:05:29.161 align:center
Yes, sir.

00:05:29.162 --> 00:05:31.581 align:center
Foreign Affairs is asking
about the overseas tour…

00:05:32.165 --> 00:05:34.000 align:center
- Submit it in writing.
- Yes, sir.

00:05:44.219 --> 00:05:47.096 align:center
Amid growing fallout
from the leaked marriage contract,

00:05:47.097 --> 00:05:50.933 align:center
the controversy is escalating
beyond a mere private-life scandal,

00:05:50.934 --> 00:05:54.228 align:center
even drawing scrutiny
over the monarchy's credibility.

00:05:54.229 --> 00:05:57.189 align:center
The alleged preferential treatment
the Grand Princess received,

00:05:57.190 --> 00:05:59.608 align:center
and the suspension
of the Junghwajeon fire investigation…

00:05:59.609 --> 00:06:02.028 align:center
…have emerged
as the central points of this controversy.

00:06:02.654 --> 00:06:03.780 align:center
Huiju.

00:06:05.407 --> 00:06:07.200 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:06:10.996 --> 00:06:12.997 align:center
- Seong Huiju.
- In response, the Crown

00:06:12.998 --> 00:06:16.542 align:center
has stated it is verifying the facts,
maintaining a cautious stance.

00:06:16.543 --> 00:06:19.503 align:center
However, critics argue
that the possibility of the exercise

00:06:19.504 --> 00:06:21.590 align:center
of private influence cannot be ruled out.

00:06:22.716 --> 00:06:25.134 align:center
Both the Crown and the Cabinet
are reportedly conducting…

00:06:25.135 --> 00:06:26.552 align:center
Are you okay?

00:06:26.553 --> 00:06:29.014 align:center
However, neither has yet
released an official statement.

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:34.561 align:center
Yes.

00:06:55.498 --> 00:06:57.374 align:center
Let's start by confirming a few things.

00:06:57.375 --> 00:06:58.751 align:center
First of all,

00:06:58.752 --> 00:07:01.254 align:center
did you two draw up
the marriage contract yourselves?

00:07:09.804 --> 00:07:13.433 align:center
Besides me, does anyone else know
that this marriage is fake?

00:07:14.017 --> 00:07:15.644 align:center
Aside from my personal aide,

00:07:16.311 --> 00:07:17.312 align:center
there's no one else.

00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.774 align:center
Just Ms. Do.

00:07:27.197 --> 00:07:29.323 align:center
I haven't discussed it
with the Royal Secretariat yet,

00:07:29.324 --> 00:07:32.494 align:center
but they will most likely
choose not to respond.

00:07:33.828 --> 00:07:35.120 align:center
What do you mean?

00:07:35.121 --> 00:07:36.705 align:center
As long as the contract is real,

00:07:36.706 --> 00:07:38.916 align:center
any explanation or defense
will only stir up more noise.

00:07:38.917 --> 00:07:41.252 align:center
So, are you asking us to stay silent?

00:07:43.672 --> 00:07:45.799 align:center
Yes. Precisely, Your Royal Highness.

00:07:50.053 --> 00:07:52.888 align:center
Waiting for things
to die down could backfire on us.

00:07:52.889 --> 00:07:55.015 align:center
We must wait until even that dies down.

00:07:55.016 --> 00:07:56.393 align:center
It was only…

00:08:02.023 --> 00:08:03.316 align:center
a farce in the beginning.

00:08:13.618 --> 00:08:15.161 align:center
"It only started out as deception."

00:08:16.246 --> 00:08:17.330 align:center
Is that what you'll say?

00:08:19.541 --> 00:08:22.251 align:center
The contract stipulates
a divorce within three years.

00:08:22.252 --> 00:08:23.336 align:center
Can you guarantee

00:08:24.587 --> 00:08:25.714 align:center
there will be no divorce?

00:08:34.764 --> 00:08:36.015 align:center
Can you?

00:08:49.946 --> 00:08:50.947 align:center
Sir.

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.366 align:center
You really should see this.

00:08:58.079 --> 00:08:59.205 align:center
Excuse me for a moment.

00:09:09.215 --> 00:09:12.342 align:center
I wondered why that brat
would just hand over the company.

00:09:12.343 --> 00:09:14.011 align:center
Turns out she had a whole plan.

00:09:14.012 --> 00:09:16.013 align:center
What about that kiss over the palace wall?

00:09:16.014 --> 00:09:17.139 align:center
Was that fake too?

00:09:17.140 --> 00:09:18.474 align:center
Of course, it was!

00:09:18.475 --> 00:09:21.977 align:center
Then what about when she collapsed,
and he carried her out in his arms?

00:09:21.978 --> 00:09:23.228 align:center
Was that all just an act?

00:09:23.229 --> 00:09:25.022 align:center
Babe, who cares about that right now?

00:09:25.023 --> 00:09:26.900 align:center
Our family is about to be ruined!

00:09:27.901 --> 00:09:30.152 align:center
Well, I'm just worried about Huiju…

00:09:30.153 --> 00:09:31.905 align:center
What is it now?

00:09:33.073 --> 00:09:34.448 align:center
What's with all the messages?

00:09:34.449 --> 00:09:36.575 align:center
ANOTHER SCANDAL WILL BREAK THIS WEEK…

00:09:36.576 --> 00:09:39.078 align:center
I wondered why Prince I-AN
would marry a love child…

00:09:39.079 --> 00:09:41.163 align:center
He clearly married
for Castle Group.

00:09:41.164 --> 00:09:42.873 align:center
So all that talk
about Prince Suyang…

00:09:42.874 --> 00:09:44.917 align:center
Was her fainting
at the wedding just a stunt?

00:09:44.918 --> 00:09:46.086 align:center
Babe.

00:09:46.711 --> 00:09:48.338 align:center
What the hell is going on?

00:09:50.548 --> 00:09:52.633 align:center
As public trust in the royal couple wavers

00:09:52.634 --> 00:09:56.595 align:center
following the leak
of their marriage contract earlier today,

00:09:56.596 --> 00:10:00.015 align:center
incendiary allegations have surfaced
that Grand Princess Seong received

00:10:00.016 --> 00:10:03.102 align:center
preferential treatment
even prior to the royal wedding.

00:10:03.103 --> 00:10:06.480 align:center
Grand Princess Seong had previously
been identified as the prime suspect

00:10:06.481 --> 00:10:08.732 align:center
in the Junghwajeon Hall fire
that broke out

00:10:08.733 --> 00:10:10.859 align:center
during His Majesty's
Royal Birthday Banquet.

00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:14.571 align:center
Some critics argue that the Grand Prince
may have intervened in the investigation

00:10:14.572 --> 00:10:16.365 align:center
for personal reasons.

00:10:16.366 --> 00:10:18.909 align:center
Some are even voicing concerns

00:10:18.910 --> 00:10:22.579 align:center
whether he is connected
to the Junghwajeon Hall fire incident.

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:26.333 align:center
The political sphere is adopting
a cautious stance,

00:10:26.334 --> 00:10:27.627 align:center
while the palace and the Cabinet…

00:10:36.302 --> 00:10:37.387 align:center
Are you scared?

00:10:40.515 --> 00:10:42.809 align:center
You have to have honor
for disgrace to mean anything.

00:10:45.061 --> 00:10:46.855 align:center
I've never had any, so I'm fine.

00:10:55.405 --> 00:10:56.614 align:center
Are you okay?

00:11:00.285 --> 00:11:01.911 align:center
Honor is all you have.

00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:10.461 align:center
Are you scared?

00:11:24.267 --> 00:11:25.268 align:center
Yes.

00:11:29.522 --> 00:11:30.690 align:center
I am afraid…

00:11:34.152 --> 00:11:35.486 align:center
that my honor will end up…

00:11:38.489 --> 00:11:39.532 align:center
harming you.

00:11:45.997 --> 00:11:46.998 align:center
I believe it's best

00:11:47.624 --> 00:11:49.625 align:center
for you both to return to the palace now.

00:11:49.626 --> 00:11:51.169 align:center
What about all the reporters there?

00:11:51.961 --> 00:11:53.337 align:center
Are you sure it's okay?

00:11:53.338 --> 00:11:57.216 align:center
They're planning a protest
outside the palace tomorrow morning.

00:11:57.217 --> 00:11:58.425 align:center
A protest?

00:11:58.426 --> 00:11:59.802 align:center
What are you talking about?

00:12:01.721 --> 00:12:04.140 align:center
There's a rumor that
you're vying for the throne.

00:12:05.183 --> 00:12:08.060 align:center
The Junghwajeon fire is being interpreted
to fit that narrative.

00:12:08.061 --> 00:12:09.269 align:center
That's absolute nonsense.

00:12:09.270 --> 00:12:11.940 align:center
Securing your safety comes first.

00:12:12.482 --> 00:12:13.524 align:center
Return to the palace.

00:12:20.448 --> 00:12:24.244 align:center
It appears the protest cannot be stopped.

00:12:25.995 --> 00:12:27.705 align:center
Nothing could possibly stop it now.

00:12:28.248 --> 00:12:31.542 align:center
To be loved is to be hated
in equal measure.

00:12:34.170 --> 00:12:37.298 align:center
Nothing stokes gossip like the downfall
of the high and mighty.

00:12:39.676 --> 00:12:41.301 align:center
Did you deliver the message to Father?

00:12:41.302 --> 00:12:43.221 align:center
He sent word that he is on his way.

00:12:51.145 --> 00:12:52.772 align:center
Prepare to enter the Council Hall.

00:13:06.202 --> 00:13:07.369 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:13:07.370 --> 00:13:09.371 align:center
You should make your way
to the Council Hall.

00:13:09.372 --> 00:13:10.455 align:center
Now?

00:13:10.456 --> 00:13:13.084 align:center
Her Majesty has summoned
the Office of Royal Relatives.

00:13:40.653 --> 00:13:42.655 align:center
Announcing Grand Prince I-AN.

00:13:52.665 --> 00:13:53.958 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:13:56.002 --> 00:13:58.254 align:center
Have you summoned the royal relatives?

00:14:01.174 --> 00:14:04.468 align:center
- Let's discuss it privately.
- I do not wish to hear your excuses.

00:14:04.469 --> 00:14:06.179 align:center
- Queen Mother.
- How dare you!

00:14:07.722 --> 00:14:09.265 align:center
To deceive the people

00:14:10.308 --> 00:14:12.060 align:center
and bring disgrace upon the Crown.

00:14:18.524 --> 00:14:20.443 align:center
Do you truly believe you can be forgiven?

00:14:29.869 --> 00:14:32.163 align:center
You, who sold off your royal status.

00:14:33.206 --> 00:14:35.124 align:center
And you, who purchased it.

00:14:36.501 --> 00:14:38.628 align:center
You would do well to prepare yourselves.

00:14:42.298 --> 00:14:44.299 align:center
I found it rather peculiar from the start,

00:14:44.300 --> 00:14:47.135 align:center
how she seemed to have no regard
for royal tradition or decorum.

00:14:47.136 --> 00:14:48.428 align:center
You should stop there.

00:14:48.429 --> 00:14:50.139 align:center
"It is simply
because of her low pedigree."

00:14:51.974 --> 00:14:53.601 align:center
That was my oversight.

00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:06.738 align:center
You thought you could protect yourself
with that measly contract?

00:15:06.739 --> 00:15:09.158 align:center
I cannot tell if you are naïve or foolish.

00:15:19.293 --> 00:15:20.878 align:center
Senior Sixth Rank, Choi Hyeon.

00:15:21.629 --> 00:15:22.796 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:15:22.797 --> 00:15:24.381 align:center
Junior Sixth Rank, Do Hyejeong.

00:15:24.382 --> 00:15:25.882 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:15:25.883 --> 00:15:28.678 align:center
Your superiors are unworthy
of an audience in the Council Hall.

00:15:30.346 --> 00:15:31.347 align:center
Escort them out.

00:15:42.984 --> 00:15:43.985 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:15:48.614 --> 00:15:49.615 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:15:57.123 --> 00:15:58.124 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.918 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:16:01.502 --> 00:16:03.712 align:center
I'm fine, so just…

00:16:03.713 --> 00:16:05.089 align:center
You're far from fine!

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:13.055 align:center
Who clenches their fist this hard
out of anger?

00:16:14.849 --> 00:16:16.434 align:center
Just look at this hand.

00:16:17.602 --> 00:16:18.728 align:center
Stay put.

00:16:19.228 --> 00:16:20.855 align:center
I'll have Aide Choi get some…

00:16:27.695 --> 00:16:28.696 align:center
I'm fine.

00:16:30.823 --> 00:16:31.824 align:center
It doesn't hurt.

00:17:01.520 --> 00:17:02.604 align:center
This is insane.

00:17:02.605 --> 00:17:04.190 align:center
It's hit the lower limit.

00:17:04.815 --> 00:17:07.776 align:center
What if the chairman calls me
to his office? That won't end well.

00:17:07.777 --> 00:17:08.778 align:center
Hello.

00:17:10.321 --> 00:17:11.405 align:center
Seriously?

00:17:12.114 --> 00:17:13.157 align:center
Aide Do!

00:17:13.741 --> 00:17:14.742 align:center
Yes?

00:17:15.493 --> 00:17:16.952 align:center
We have a problem.

00:17:16.953 --> 00:17:18.286 align:center
Why? What is it now?

00:17:18.287 --> 00:17:21.582 align:center
There's an article claiming
the Grand Princess faked her collapse.

00:17:22.583 --> 00:17:23.792 align:center
What?

00:17:23.793 --> 00:17:25.086 align:center
What are you talking about?

00:17:26.379 --> 00:17:27.462 align:center
THE REASON WHY SHE FAINTED…

00:17:27.463 --> 00:17:28.546 align:center
WAS THE COLLAPSE STAGED?

00:17:28.547 --> 00:17:29.549 align:center
Huh?

00:17:30.466 --> 00:17:31.467 align:center
It sounds like…

00:17:32.051 --> 00:17:33.802 align:center
This is about to blow up in our face.

00:17:33.803 --> 00:17:36.012 align:center
WAS THE COLLAPSE STAGED?
PRESSURE MOUNTS ON ROYAL FAMILY

00:17:36.013 --> 00:17:39.516 align:center
Remove Grand Prince I-AN
as regent!

00:17:39.517 --> 00:17:41.184 align:center
Remove him! Remove him!

00:17:41.185 --> 00:17:43.812 align:center
Grand Prince I-AN
and Seong Huiju must apologize!

00:17:43.813 --> 00:17:45.730 align:center
Apologize! Apologize!

00:17:45.731 --> 00:17:49.401 align:center
Remove Grand Prince I-AN
as regent!

00:17:49.402 --> 00:17:51.111 align:center
Remove him! Remove him!

00:17:51.112 --> 00:17:54.489 align:center
Strip Seong Huiju
of her rank immediately!

00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:55.657 align:center
Immediately! Immediately!

00:18:05.668 --> 00:18:07.086 align:center
We cannot wait any longer.

00:18:08.588 --> 00:18:09.589 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:18:10.172 --> 00:18:11.716 align:center
They're going so far as to suggest

00:18:12.967 --> 00:18:14.802 align:center
that my wife fainted for show.

00:18:17.555 --> 00:18:19.348 align:center
I shall set the record straight myself.

00:18:22.727 --> 00:18:25.855 align:center
Our marriage may have started
with a contract,

00:18:27.148 --> 00:18:30.483 align:center
but everything we've shown the people
is genuine.

00:18:30.484 --> 00:18:31.651 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:18:31.652 --> 00:18:33.154 align:center
Even if the substance found in her system

00:18:34.697 --> 00:18:35.823 align:center
was one prescribed to me,

00:18:37.158 --> 00:18:40.494 align:center
there is nothing I seek to gain
at the cost of her life.

00:18:42.997 --> 00:18:45.499 align:center
What about the claim
that you're vying for the crown?

00:18:47.710 --> 00:18:49.337 align:center
Will you deny that as well?

00:18:51.631 --> 00:18:53.507 align:center
- Prime Minister Min.
- Answer me, sir.

00:18:54.300 --> 00:18:55.551 align:center
Will you deny it?

00:19:00.931 --> 00:19:02.224 align:center
If I do not deny it,

00:19:05.436 --> 00:19:07.146 align:center
how would you respond?

00:19:15.488 --> 00:19:18.324 align:center
"We do not need a king
who lacks the people's support."

00:19:19.033 --> 00:19:20.326 align:center
That's how I would respond.

00:19:25.706 --> 00:19:26.874 align:center
Thus, Your Royal Highness…

00:19:29.585 --> 00:19:31.504 align:center
For the sake of the Crown and the nation,

00:19:33.756 --> 00:19:34.757 align:center
I humbly request…

00:19:37.009 --> 00:19:38.219 align:center
that you end your regency.

00:19:52.233 --> 00:19:54.317 align:center
5 DAYS BEFORE THE CONTRACT LEAK

00:19:54.318 --> 00:19:55.319 align:center
Sir.

00:20:04.328 --> 00:20:07.497 align:center
They discovered traces of digoxin
in a goblet used in the wedding rites.

00:20:07.498 --> 00:20:09.332 align:center
GOBLET CONTAINING
TRACES OF DIGOXIN

00:20:11.502 --> 00:20:13.379 align:center
Sir, Ms. Lee Areum has arrived.

00:20:21.095 --> 00:20:23.556 align:center
I heard you asked to see me.

00:20:28.436 --> 00:20:30.019 align:center
LEE AREUM

00:20:30.020 --> 00:20:31.187 align:center
IN CHARGE OF THE NUPTIAL WINE

00:20:31.188 --> 00:20:33.356 align:center
PARK MALJA, HER MOTHER,
BECAME AN ALCOHOLIC…

00:20:33.357 --> 00:20:35.526 align:center
IN NEED OF FUNDS
FOR BROTHER'S KIDNEY TRANSPLANT

00:20:42.825 --> 00:20:44.451 align:center
I was instructed to simply grind it up

00:20:44.452 --> 00:20:47.662 align:center
and rub it on the Grand Prince's goblet.

00:20:47.663 --> 00:20:50.290 align:center
I had no idea what it was.

00:20:50.291 --> 00:20:52.000 align:center
I was told if I didn't do it,

00:20:52.001 --> 00:20:54.003 align:center
my brother's surgery might be delayed…

00:20:59.049 --> 00:21:00.217 align:center
Do you think it's true?

00:21:01.302 --> 00:21:02.470 align:center
We'll have to verify it.

00:21:10.978 --> 00:21:12.480 align:center
But I still don't understand why.

00:21:16.817 --> 00:21:18.319 align:center
Did they really need to kill him?

00:21:20.529 --> 00:21:21.781 align:center
I get that he was bothersome…

00:21:29.747 --> 00:21:32.291 align:center
4 DAYS BEFORE THE CONTRACT LEAK

00:21:32.917 --> 00:21:33.918 align:center
Prime Minister Min.

00:21:35.002 --> 00:21:37.171 align:center
What could you possibly
be suggesting right now?

00:21:43.594 --> 00:21:45.387 align:center
Here's evidence
proving it was a poisoning.

00:21:49.433 --> 00:21:52.602 align:center
A staff testified that the Grand Prince
was the intended target.

00:21:52.603 --> 00:21:55.439 align:center
She confirmed the substance used
and her cryptocurrency records.

00:21:56.357 --> 00:21:57.525 align:center
She also testified

00:21:58.984 --> 00:22:01.153 align:center
that the compensation
came from Lord INPYEONG.

00:22:02.863 --> 00:22:03.906 align:center
This is slander.

00:22:06.575 --> 00:22:09.327 align:center
How dare you suspect my father
on a mere servant's word?

00:22:09.328 --> 00:22:11.663 align:center
- You are also under suspicion.
- Prime Minister Min!

00:22:11.664 --> 00:22:13.290 align:center
Can you prove you had no knowledge

00:22:14.792 --> 00:22:16.252 align:center
of Lord INPYEONG's actions?

00:22:25.636 --> 00:22:26.928 align:center
Your Majesty,

00:22:26.929 --> 00:22:28.722 align:center
Grand Prince I-AN has arrived.

00:22:42.945 --> 00:22:44.488 align:center
His Royal Highness remains unaware.

00:22:48.826 --> 00:22:49.994 align:center
Allow me some time.

00:22:58.919 --> 00:23:00.004 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:23:00.838 --> 00:23:02.089 align:center
Prime Minister Min.

00:23:04.508 --> 00:23:05.509 align:center
Until tonight.

00:23:07.845 --> 00:23:09.138 align:center
That is all I can provide you.

00:23:14.310 --> 00:23:15.644 align:center
I shall send word.

00:23:30.034 --> 00:23:31.910 align:center
What brings you here, Prime Minister Min?

00:23:31.911 --> 00:23:34.329 align:center
I came to request her cooperation
in the investigation.

00:23:34.330 --> 00:23:35.873 align:center
The Inner Court will be summoned tomorrow.

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.319 align:center
I'm here to discuss
the Anhwadang Hall staff.

00:24:14.286 --> 00:24:15.287 align:center
Your Majesty?

00:24:21.126 --> 00:24:24.004 align:center
I heard you were looking
to replace the attendants.

00:24:25.631 --> 00:24:28.425 align:center
Are you feeling unwell?

00:24:30.636 --> 00:24:32.554 align:center
The Grand Princess collapsed
at the wedding.

00:24:33.597 --> 00:24:36.141 align:center
Now, the Grand Prince seeks
to replace innocent attendants.

00:24:37.434 --> 00:24:39.061 align:center
The palace is in disarray, is it not?

00:24:54.952 --> 00:24:55.953 align:center
Jeongwoo!

00:24:58.455 --> 00:25:00.373 align:center
Should you be outside already?

00:25:00.374 --> 00:25:01.624 align:center
Did the doctor…

00:25:01.625 --> 00:25:03.960 align:center
I don't need to hear that
from you too.

00:25:03.961 --> 00:25:06.129 align:center
My ears are about to bleed as it is.

00:25:06.130 --> 00:25:09.882 align:center
It appears she is weary from all the care
the Grand Prince has taken

00:25:09.883 --> 00:25:11.551 align:center
to protect the Grand Princess.

00:25:11.552 --> 00:25:14.971 align:center
Given how devoted they are to each other,
producing an heir should not be…

00:25:14.972 --> 00:25:16.806 align:center
What…

00:25:16.807 --> 00:25:19.308 align:center
…in the world are you talking about?

00:25:19.309 --> 00:25:21.561 align:center
In broad daylight, no less.

00:25:25.024 --> 00:25:26.608 align:center
Are you free for a short walk?

00:25:28.694 --> 00:25:29.778 align:center
Hmm.

00:25:30.654 --> 00:25:32.156 align:center
How's the investigation going?

00:25:32.781 --> 00:25:33.949 align:center
Are you getting anywhere?

00:25:35.242 --> 00:25:38.704 align:center
Can we trust Royal Seoul Hospital?

00:25:39.496 --> 00:25:41.123 align:center
If you want, I can have Castle Hospital…

00:25:44.084 --> 00:25:45.085 align:center
What?

00:25:47.379 --> 00:25:48.505 align:center
It seems real.

00:25:49.131 --> 00:25:50.132 align:center
What does?

00:25:51.008 --> 00:25:52.091 align:center
Your devotion?

00:25:52.092 --> 00:25:54.927 align:center
Devotion? As if.

00:25:54.928 --> 00:25:58.057 align:center
Can't I even show
this much concern for my spouse?

00:26:02.853 --> 00:26:04.229 align:center
My goodness.

00:26:08.233 --> 00:26:10.611 align:center
You know our marriage is only for show.

00:26:11.987 --> 00:26:13.988 align:center
How are we supposed to fool the nation

00:26:13.989 --> 00:26:15.657 align:center
if we can't even fool the staff?

00:26:17.701 --> 00:26:18.702 align:center
So?

00:26:19.870 --> 00:26:21.163 align:center
You're trying to fool me too?

00:26:21.789 --> 00:26:22.831 align:center
What?

00:26:25.793 --> 00:26:26.835 align:center
Sir.

00:26:32.508 --> 00:26:34.968 align:center
His Majesty is due to give
his witness statement shortly.

00:26:38.764 --> 00:26:39.807 align:center
I should go.

00:26:41.850 --> 00:26:43.268 align:center
But I'm not done talking yet…

00:26:44.311 --> 00:26:45.979 align:center
I'll call you later…

00:26:57.699 --> 00:26:59.701 align:center
Evidence that proves
it was a poisoning.

00:27:00.494 --> 00:27:03.663 align:center
A staff testified that the Grand Prince
was the intended target.

00:27:03.664 --> 00:27:06.625 align:center
She confirmed the drug used
and her cryptocurrency records.

00:27:09.211 --> 00:27:11.463 align:center
She testified the compensation
came from Lord INPYEONG.

00:27:20.472 --> 00:27:21.473 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:27:22.099 --> 00:27:23.684 align:center
What brings you here unannounced?

00:27:25.394 --> 00:27:26.520 align:center
Explain yourself.

00:27:27.312 --> 00:27:28.564 align:center
- Your Majesty.
- I said!

00:27:31.567 --> 00:27:32.818 align:center
Explain yourself.

00:27:52.045 --> 00:27:53.338 align:center
Tell me it was not you.

00:27:53.881 --> 00:27:55.172 align:center
LEE AREUM

00:27:55.173 --> 00:27:56.884 align:center
WITNESS STATEMENT

00:27:59.636 --> 00:28:01.179 align:center
Where did you get this?

00:28:06.768 --> 00:28:09.271 align:center
I asked where you got this.

00:28:11.189 --> 00:28:13.566 align:center
Were you truly attempting to murder
the Grand Prince?

00:28:17.154 --> 00:28:18.488 align:center
Have you lost your mind?

00:28:19.156 --> 00:28:22.366 align:center
If this gets out,
you, me, and His Majesty will be--

00:28:22.367 --> 00:28:23.368 align:center
That is…

00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.249 align:center
exactly why the Grand Prince
must be eliminated.

00:28:34.004 --> 00:28:37.757 align:center
Why do you think the Grand Prince,
who feigned ignorance,

00:28:37.758 --> 00:28:40.135 align:center
has chosen to speak up now?

00:28:40.844 --> 00:28:43.804 align:center
Not only did you burn
the late King's final royal edict.

00:28:43.805 --> 00:28:45.307 align:center
But imagine

00:28:46.058 --> 00:28:48.893 align:center
what would happen if he discovers
the same fire killed the late King.

00:28:48.894 --> 00:28:50.895 align:center
I had nothing to do
with the late King's death!

00:28:50.896 --> 00:28:52.481 align:center
Who would ever believe

00:28:53.023 --> 00:28:55.359 align:center
such a feeble excuse?

00:28:57.986 --> 00:28:59.820 align:center
Father…

00:28:59.821 --> 00:29:01.864 align:center
"I only intended to burn the royal edict.

00:29:01.865 --> 00:29:03.450 align:center
I never intended for that fire

00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:06.995 align:center
to burn down the palace hall
and take the King's life."

00:29:08.664 --> 00:29:10.123 align:center
Is that what you will say?

00:29:17.631 --> 00:29:19.883 align:center
Is that what you have thought of me
all this time?

00:29:30.352 --> 00:29:34.564 align:center
What Your Majesty has done
is not my concern.

00:29:35.899 --> 00:29:38.484 align:center
You must do whatever it takes
to keep His Majesty safe.

00:29:38.485 --> 00:29:40.736 align:center
That is the only way

00:29:40.737 --> 00:29:42.989 align:center
to ensure your own safety,

00:29:42.990 --> 00:29:45.158 align:center
mine, and our family name.

00:30:01.008 --> 00:30:02.467 align:center
Now, tell me.

00:30:04.636 --> 00:30:05.804 align:center
Where did you

00:30:07.389 --> 00:30:09.433 align:center
get this from?

00:30:35.709 --> 00:30:37.044 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:30:41.798 --> 00:30:42.799 align:center
Grand Princess.

00:30:49.306 --> 00:30:51.016 align:center
You would do well to tread carefully.

00:31:08.867 --> 00:31:09.950 align:center
Sir.

00:31:09.951 --> 00:31:11.578 align:center
The Queen Mother is calling. It's urgent.

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.956 align:center
I'll connect you now.

00:31:18.418 --> 00:31:20.045 align:center
HUIJU

00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:41.942 align:center
3 DAYS BEFORE THE CONTRACT LEAK

00:32:22.065 --> 00:32:23.400 align:center
How does it feel

00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:27.154 align:center
to have the man hailed
as the greatest prime minister in history

00:32:28.113 --> 00:32:29.446 align:center
as a father?

00:32:29.447 --> 00:32:30.657 align:center
PRIME MINISTER MIN SEUNGJAE

00:32:33.368 --> 00:32:34.369 align:center
I'm not sure.

00:32:35.537 --> 00:32:38.664 align:center
How does it feel
to have a father who will be known

00:32:38.665 --> 00:32:39.875 align:center
as the most dangerous lord

00:32:41.001 --> 00:32:42.377 align:center
in history?

00:32:44.754 --> 00:32:46.715 align:center
That will not be his legacy.

00:32:48.592 --> 00:32:49.676 align:center
Are you denying it?

00:32:51.511 --> 00:32:53.221 align:center
I wish to make a request.

00:32:54.681 --> 00:32:58.101 align:center
I thought about what would lead you
to bring me that evidence.

00:33:00.187 --> 00:33:02.439 align:center
If I were a suspect in your eyes…

00:33:05.358 --> 00:33:07.861 align:center
why did you come to me
and not the Grand Prince?

00:33:11.239 --> 00:33:13.116 align:center
Do you wish to have the Grand Princess?

00:33:38.683 --> 00:33:40.226 align:center
MARRIAGE CONTRACT

00:33:40.227 --> 00:33:41.602 align:center
Should that come to light,

00:33:41.603 --> 00:33:43.813 align:center
the court will be in turmoil
and the nation in chaos.

00:33:46.149 --> 00:33:48.817 align:center
All the benefits outlined in the contract
favor the Grand Princess.

00:33:48.818 --> 00:33:51.613 align:center
Thus, the tide of condemnation
will break upon her.

00:33:54.991 --> 00:33:57.327 align:center
Do you think I would just let that happen?

00:33:57.953 --> 00:34:00.038 align:center
It is clear you are intent
on taking her for yourself.

00:34:02.040 --> 00:34:04.167 align:center
And you do not want her to suffer, either?

00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:08.755 align:center
Then,

00:34:10.173 --> 00:34:13.343 align:center
I shall redirect that tide to Prince I-AN.

00:34:15.053 --> 00:34:18.056 align:center
The more the Grand Prince
is driven to the brink,

00:34:19.057 --> 00:34:21.935 align:center
the more her resolve
is bound to crumble, is it not?

00:34:26.606 --> 00:34:27.732 align:center
What is the matter?

00:34:28.441 --> 00:34:30.902 align:center
Did you presume I could not perceive

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:34.030 align:center
what you so plainly see between them?

00:34:37.033 --> 00:34:39.076 align:center
The Grand Prince smiles
when he drives too.

00:34:39.077 --> 00:34:41.287 align:center
He can be so childlike sometimes.

00:34:41.288 --> 00:34:43.206 align:center
He's in danger right now!

00:34:44.040 --> 00:34:45.292 align:center
I like Seong Huiju.

00:34:47.544 --> 00:34:49.462 align:center
You have tonight to consider your options.

00:34:50.839 --> 00:34:52.382 align:center
That is all I can provide you.

00:36:38.822 --> 00:36:40.907 align:center
Do you possess the authority to request…

00:36:43.868 --> 00:36:45.161 align:center
that I end the regency?

00:36:47.414 --> 00:36:49.207 align:center
I have a duty to protect the Crown.

00:36:53.169 --> 00:36:54.337 align:center
You make it sound…

00:36:56.798 --> 00:36:58.925 align:center
as though I sought to harm it.

00:36:59.926 --> 00:37:01.678 align:center
The Crown represents the nation.

00:37:03.263 --> 00:37:05.639 align:center
As long as you represent the Crown,

00:37:05.640 --> 00:37:06.933 align:center
you and the Crown

00:37:07.684 --> 00:37:08.977 align:center
are one.

00:37:10.395 --> 00:37:11.730 align:center
So?

00:37:13.481 --> 00:37:14.607 align:center
Face your downfall alone.

00:37:17.444 --> 00:37:18.695 align:center
I will not allow you

00:37:20.655 --> 00:37:22.365 align:center
to drag the Crown down with you.

00:37:44.387 --> 00:37:46.263 align:center
A private meeting with Prime Minister Min?

00:37:46.264 --> 00:37:49.183 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.
They started early this morning.

00:37:49.184 --> 00:37:51.144 align:center
It has already been three hours.

00:37:51.686 --> 00:37:53.605 align:center
The Cabinet must be feeling
the pressure as well.

00:37:57.609 --> 00:37:58.610 align:center
What about Seong Huiju?

00:37:59.527 --> 00:38:00.736 align:center
Pardon?

00:38:00.737 --> 00:38:03.615 align:center
Is the Grand Princess alone right now?

00:38:04.365 --> 00:38:05.408 align:center
What?

00:38:06.701 --> 00:38:09.369 align:center
He told him to end his regency?
Jeongwoo did?

00:38:09.370 --> 00:38:10.454 align:center
Yes.

00:38:10.455 --> 00:38:13.582 align:center
I mean, I really trusted
Prime Minister Min.

00:38:13.583 --> 00:38:15.000 align:center
I know we're in a tight spot and all,

00:38:15.001 --> 00:38:17.544 align:center
but it's not like he doesn't know
what's going on.

00:38:17.545 --> 00:38:19.130 align:center
They crossed a line here, didn't they?

00:38:21.758 --> 00:38:23.759 align:center
The Queen Mother is asking for you.

00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:25.178 align:center
Well, I'm about to lose it.

00:38:44.614 --> 00:38:46.074 align:center
How does it feel?

00:38:49.202 --> 00:38:51.663 align:center
How does it feel to have dragged down

00:38:53.122 --> 00:38:55.583 align:center
the cherished prince of the nation?

00:39:00.755 --> 00:39:02.631 align:center
He had his moments of eccentricity

00:39:02.632 --> 00:39:04.801 align:center
and would sometimes go astray,

00:39:06.553 --> 00:39:09.180 align:center
but until he met you, I-AN was…

00:39:11.516 --> 00:39:13.268 align:center
the pride of the Crown.

00:39:18.231 --> 00:39:20.483 align:center
What did you offer him?

00:39:23.319 --> 00:39:25.154 align:center
What did he gain

00:39:26.364 --> 00:39:28.324 align:center
by elevating you so?

00:39:37.333 --> 00:39:38.793 align:center
Did you not read the contract?

00:39:40.962 --> 00:39:43.798 align:center
His Royal Highness
does not want anything from me.

00:39:46.050 --> 00:39:48.761 align:center
He even settled for three years,
as long as I was with him.

00:39:51.389 --> 00:39:52.932 align:center
So I simply agreed to do so.

00:40:21.836 --> 00:40:24.546 align:center
How does it feel
to have dragged down

00:40:24.547 --> 00:40:27.008 align:center
the cherished prince of the nation?

00:40:34.974 --> 00:40:35.975 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:40:37.185 --> 00:40:38.936 align:center
You should head to the King's Quarters.

00:40:38.937 --> 00:40:40.604 align:center
Has His Majesty summoned me?

00:40:40.605 --> 00:40:42.606 align:center
I believe Lord INPYEONG is there

00:40:42.607 --> 00:40:44.399 align:center
with a formal appeal to the king

00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:45.526 align:center
and even a public petition.

00:40:51.574 --> 00:40:52.908 align:center
Emergency.

00:40:52.909 --> 00:40:54.369 align:center
Come to the King's Quarters
when you see this.

00:40:59.874 --> 00:41:02.042 align:center
THE NOBLE COUNCIL LEADER
AND 190 MEMBERS…

00:41:02.043 --> 00:41:03.418 align:center
THE LOVE STORY
THAT FOOLED THE NATION…

00:41:03.419 --> 00:41:04.420 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:41:05.088 --> 00:41:07.172 align:center
The Crown will crumble at this rate.

00:41:07.173 --> 00:41:09.299 align:center
Even the Grand Prince

00:41:09.300 --> 00:41:11.678 align:center
cannot defy your royal command.

00:41:12.720 --> 00:41:14.346 align:center
But Uncle…

00:41:14.347 --> 00:41:15.640 align:center
Your Majesty!

00:41:17.475 --> 00:41:19.936 align:center
Have you not heard the rumors
spreading among the people?

00:41:20.728 --> 00:41:23.606 align:center
- The fire that took the late king…
- That is not true!

00:41:24.357 --> 00:41:26.024 align:center
Father was not…

00:41:26.025 --> 00:41:27.859 align:center
The Grand Prince knows that you are weak,
that is why--

00:41:27.860 --> 00:41:29.361 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:41:29.362 --> 00:41:30.947 align:center
The Grand Prince…

00:41:41.666 --> 00:41:44.668 align:center
How dare you show
such insolence before His Majesty!

00:41:44.669 --> 00:41:46.045 align:center
How dare you!

00:41:49.674 --> 00:41:51.467 align:center
How dare you threaten His Majesty?

00:41:54.804 --> 00:41:56.097 align:center
Why you…

00:41:56.973 --> 00:41:58.641 align:center
Uncle…

00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:00.810 align:center
Enter, Court Lady Jung.

00:42:03.021 --> 00:42:04.897 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:42:05.773 --> 00:42:06.858 align:center
Escort His Majesty out.

00:42:08.776 --> 00:42:10.527 align:center
Do you not hear me?

00:42:10.528 --> 00:42:11.654 align:center
Yes, Your Royal Highness.

00:42:14.032 --> 00:42:15.241 align:center
Grand Prince…

00:42:18.703 --> 00:42:19.996 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:42:35.303 --> 00:42:37.472 align:center
Do you think I'm oblivious
to your scheming?

00:42:40.475 --> 00:42:42.769 align:center
Your… Royal…

00:42:44.312 --> 00:42:45.313 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:42:47.732 --> 00:42:48.733 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

00:42:49.317 --> 00:42:51.152 align:center
Please let him go first…

00:42:51.652 --> 00:42:53.821 align:center
Are you afraid I will become king?

00:42:59.285 --> 00:43:01.329 align:center
If you wish to drive me from the palace,

00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:04.248 align:center
you will

00:43:04.916 --> 00:43:06.417 align:center
have to kill me first.

00:43:08.086 --> 00:43:09.420 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:43:16.094 --> 00:43:18.054 align:center
If you threaten my nephew again…

00:43:20.765 --> 00:43:22.517 align:center
you shall not be granted a merciful death.

00:43:48.793 --> 00:43:50.169 align:center
Uncle…

00:43:58.886 --> 00:44:00.847 align:center
THAT DAY, 3 YEARS AGO

00:44:03.850 --> 00:44:05.851 align:center
The Queen is inside.

00:44:05.852 --> 00:44:07.895 align:center
Please wait here for a moment.

00:44:09.021 --> 00:44:10.022 align:center
Understood.

00:44:13.067 --> 00:44:15.278 align:center
Uncle!

00:44:35.464 --> 00:44:37.800 align:center
You intend for Grand Prince I-AN
to ascend the throne?

00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:42.471 align:center
Have you truly gone mad?

00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:50.479 align:center
It will be better than dying.

00:44:52.398 --> 00:44:54.192 align:center
It would be better to die.

00:45:05.036 --> 00:45:06.495 align:center
I would rather see you dead.

00:45:08.664 --> 00:45:10.374 align:center
For the sake of the Crown Prince.

00:45:12.418 --> 00:45:13.711 align:center
My Queen!

00:45:25.723 --> 00:45:26.806 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:45:26.807 --> 00:45:27.808 align:center
Yes…

00:45:47.536 --> 00:45:48.537 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:45:49.330 --> 00:45:50.331 align:center
Yes?

00:45:54.627 --> 00:45:55.670 align:center
If you are ever scared…

00:46:01.884 --> 00:46:03.094 align:center
…you must come to me.

00:46:06.764 --> 00:46:07.807 align:center
Whenever that may be.

00:46:29.203 --> 00:46:30.413 align:center
Come to me…

00:46:33.666 --> 00:46:34.667 align:center
whenever you get scared.

00:46:38.587 --> 00:46:41.007 align:center
Yes, Uncle.

00:47:13.956 --> 00:47:14.957 align:center
What's wrong?

00:47:15.541 --> 00:47:16.584 align:center
What?

00:47:17.626 --> 00:47:19.253 align:center
Did you wrong me somehow?

00:47:23.507 --> 00:47:24.550 align:center
Earlier…

00:47:28.471 --> 00:47:29.472 align:center
Sorry.

00:47:31.474 --> 00:47:32.475 align:center
For what?

00:47:33.601 --> 00:47:34.894 align:center
That unpleasant sight.

00:47:37.521 --> 00:47:38.564 align:center
I thought it was pleasant.

00:47:40.024 --> 00:47:41.441 align:center
What?

00:47:41.442 --> 00:47:42.443 align:center
You did well.

00:47:44.362 --> 00:47:45.863 align:center
You must fight back

00:47:47.198 --> 00:47:48.199 align:center
if you wish…

00:47:50.451 --> 00:47:52.119 align:center
to protect something.

00:48:15.226 --> 00:48:16.727 align:center
Any likes or dislikes?

00:48:17.978 --> 00:48:18.979 align:center
All of a sudden?

00:48:20.481 --> 00:48:23.484 align:center
Well, I like…

00:48:24.819 --> 00:48:28.406 align:center
Flowers. I do like them the most.

00:48:31.534 --> 00:48:32.743 align:center
What?

00:48:33.869 --> 00:48:35.955 align:center
- Not you.
- Pardon?

00:48:36.539 --> 00:48:38.165 align:center
What does the Grand Prince like?

00:48:39.041 --> 00:48:40.375 align:center
Oh. I see.

00:48:40.376 --> 00:48:41.918 align:center
The Grand Prince.

00:48:41.919 --> 00:48:43.711 align:center
- So silly.
- Unbelievable.

00:48:43.712 --> 00:48:45.923 align:center
Why do you ask?

00:48:46.465 --> 00:48:49.551 align:center
More stress is
the only thing waiting for him.

00:48:49.552 --> 00:48:51.845 align:center
I thought I could do
something nice for him.

00:48:51.846 --> 00:48:53.722 align:center
Maybe a favorite snack or music?

00:48:55.558 --> 00:48:56.851 align:center
Let me think.

00:48:57.476 --> 00:48:59.728 align:center
Black tea? He likes black tea.

00:49:00.688 --> 00:49:02.982 align:center
He also likes bitter chocolate.

00:49:05.025 --> 00:49:06.109 align:center
What about music?

00:49:06.110 --> 00:49:08.445 align:center
Nope. He doesn't like anything loud.

00:49:08.446 --> 00:49:09.613 align:center
Mmm.

00:49:10.573 --> 00:49:12.949 align:center
What about his favorite scent?

00:49:12.950 --> 00:49:14.284 align:center
Scent?

00:49:14.285 --> 00:49:15.952 align:center
Like incense sticks or diffusers.

00:49:15.953 --> 00:49:19.080 align:center
That will get you kicked out instantly.

00:49:19.081 --> 00:49:23.294 align:center
He flipped out the last time
I put on some cologne.

00:49:25.087 --> 00:49:26.714 align:center
Noted. I should stop.

00:49:30.301 --> 00:49:32.470 align:center
Did you show
the Grand Princess the same care?

00:49:33.471 --> 00:49:34.472 align:center
Yes.

00:49:34.972 --> 00:49:37.141 align:center
One works best without distractions.

00:49:43.272 --> 00:49:44.565 align:center
What about you, Hyejeong?

00:49:47.318 --> 00:49:48.319 align:center
Pardon?

00:49:49.820 --> 00:49:53.656 align:center
I mean, it looks like you just know
the names of flowers.

00:49:53.657 --> 00:49:55.743 align:center
You don't seem that crazy about tea.

00:49:58.037 --> 00:50:00.789 align:center
What do you like, Hyejeong?

00:50:04.835 --> 00:50:05.961 align:center
Well…

00:50:12.510 --> 00:50:13.511 align:center
I…

00:50:18.390 --> 00:50:19.433 align:center
I was

00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:21.894 align:center
just curious. That's all.

00:50:24.605 --> 00:50:25.689 align:center
Such nice weather.

00:51:13.612 --> 00:51:14.655 align:center
I'm scared

00:51:16.240 --> 00:51:17.533 align:center
that my honor will end up…

00:51:21.453 --> 00:51:22.454 align:center
harming you.

00:51:26.792 --> 00:51:27.793 align:center
Me too.

00:51:31.547 --> 00:51:33.424 align:center
I'm scared I might end up…

00:51:36.427 --> 00:51:37.636 align:center
ruining you.

00:52:10.085 --> 00:52:13.546 align:center
Seong Huiju!
I know public opinion's in the gutter,

00:52:13.547 --> 00:52:15.466 align:center
but a prosecutor's investigation?
Seriously?

00:52:16.008 --> 00:52:17.717 align:center
I'm dying over here with tanking stocks.

00:52:17.718 --> 00:52:20.763 align:center
What the hell are you talking about?

00:52:27.978 --> 00:52:30.648 align:center
All the board members
have been subpoenaed.

00:52:33.359 --> 00:52:35.486 align:center
Father is about to be summoned
at this rate.

00:52:38.072 --> 00:52:40.366 align:center
Okay, I'll be there this afternoon.

00:52:42.660 --> 00:52:43.910 align:center
What's wrong?

00:52:43.911 --> 00:52:45.495 align:center
Is something happening at the company?

00:52:45.496 --> 00:52:48.498 align:center
No. I guess Father is a bit unwell.

00:52:48.499 --> 00:52:49.541 align:center
The chairman?

00:52:50.125 --> 00:52:51.919 align:center
- Then we should visit him--
- No need for all that.

00:52:52.503 --> 00:52:55.588 align:center
That will only end up attracting a crowd.

00:52:55.589 --> 00:52:57.298 align:center
It'll be better if I make
a quick run with Aide Choi.

00:52:57.299 --> 00:52:59.592 align:center
- It's nothing serious anyway.
- But still…

00:52:59.593 --> 00:53:01.387 align:center
You two need to attend court.

00:53:01.970 --> 00:53:03.137 align:center
Go on.

00:53:03.138 --> 00:53:05.974 align:center
Let's have another productive day today.

00:53:06.809 --> 00:53:07.810 align:center
I'll call you.

00:53:08.394 --> 00:53:09.520 align:center
Good luck!

00:53:17.736 --> 00:53:18.904 align:center
Get a car ready.

00:53:19.571 --> 00:53:21.364 align:center
You want to go now?

00:53:21.365 --> 00:53:22.783 align:center
Not an escort vehicle.

00:53:23.909 --> 00:53:25.327 align:center
One that I can drive.

00:53:25.994 --> 00:53:26.995 align:center
Understood.

00:54:06.785 --> 00:54:08.036 align:center
What do I have to do?

00:54:10.664 --> 00:54:12.207 align:center
You must know.

00:54:13.250 --> 00:54:16.043 align:center
Both the company and the palace
are a complete train wreck.

00:54:16.044 --> 00:54:18.045 align:center
And there's nothing I can do.

00:54:18.046 --> 00:54:19.381 align:center
At this rate…

00:54:25.596 --> 00:54:26.847 align:center
So tell me.

00:54:29.099 --> 00:54:30.434 align:center
Tell me what I should do.

00:54:38.567 --> 00:54:39.568 align:center
For now,

00:54:41.028 --> 00:54:42.112 align:center
do nothing.

00:54:42.696 --> 00:54:45.865 align:center
- What?
- I'll make sure you don't get hurt, so--

00:54:45.866 --> 00:54:47.326 align:center
I'm not asking you to protect me.

00:54:53.415 --> 00:54:55.375 align:center
You're not even pretending now?

00:54:58.378 --> 00:54:59.462 align:center
What?

00:54:59.463 --> 00:55:00.797 align:center
You said it was all for show.

00:55:01.798 --> 00:55:02.799 align:center
You and the Grand Prince.

00:55:12.643 --> 00:55:13.894 align:center
I don't think that's true now.

00:55:17.439 --> 00:55:18.732 align:center
What's that supposed to mean?

00:55:25.030 --> 00:55:26.114 align:center
I like him.

00:55:27.449 --> 00:55:28.450 align:center
The Grand Prince.

00:55:33.080 --> 00:55:34.122 align:center
A lot.

00:55:47.135 --> 00:55:48.136 align:center
That is…

00:55:52.474 --> 00:55:53.475 align:center
quite unfortunate.

00:56:17.374 --> 00:56:19.042 align:center
To the chairman now?

00:56:26.842 --> 00:56:27.843 align:center
Let's go now.

00:56:28.844 --> 00:56:29.970 align:center
Yes, Your Royal Highness.

00:56:32.723 --> 00:56:34.057 align:center
I messed up.

00:56:39.605 --> 00:56:41.480 align:center
What are you doing?

00:56:41.481 --> 00:56:42.524 align:center
Huiju.

00:56:43.817 --> 00:56:45.485 align:center
I deceived you…

00:56:48.238 --> 00:56:49.865 align:center
and hurt the company.

00:56:53.076 --> 00:56:54.494 align:center
I'm sorry for all of it.

00:56:59.916 --> 00:57:00.917 align:center
Please help me.

00:57:15.891 --> 00:57:17.684 align:center
Just this once, please help me, Father.

00:57:20.854 --> 00:57:22.147 align:center
I want to make things right…

00:57:24.775 --> 00:57:26.234 align:center
but I don't know how.

00:57:33.283 --> 00:57:35.243 align:center
And you call yourself a businesswoman…

00:57:44.211 --> 00:57:45.212 align:center
Tell me.

00:57:46.254 --> 00:57:48.090 align:center
Who are you trying to save here? Yourself?

00:57:48.590 --> 00:57:49.800 align:center
Or the Grand Prince?

00:58:12.739 --> 00:58:15.367 align:center
Um, I heard you enjoyed black tea.

00:58:18.787 --> 00:58:19.788 align:center
Thank you.

00:58:26.461 --> 00:58:29.172 align:center
Perhaps you might consider
taking a few days off?

00:58:31.508 --> 00:58:33.927 align:center
What's going on?

00:58:35.387 --> 00:58:40.016 align:center
The Prime Minister's Office has requested
that you cease your official duties.

00:58:43.979 --> 00:58:44.980 align:center
A request?

00:58:49.067 --> 00:58:50.777 align:center
Maybe just for a few days…

00:58:51.778 --> 00:58:53.405 align:center
NEW MESSAGE

00:58:53.989 --> 00:58:55.240 align:center
I'll be there soon.

00:58:58.994 --> 00:59:01.705 align:center
Do not say anything to my wife.

00:59:02.414 --> 00:59:04.458 align:center
Yes, Your Royal Highness.

01:00:00.722 --> 01:00:01.723 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

01:00:08.313 --> 01:00:09.689 align:center
How's your father doing?

01:00:17.823 --> 01:00:19.533 align:center
What's this? A gift?

01:00:25.080 --> 01:00:26.081 align:center
Your Royal Highness.

01:00:28.208 --> 01:00:29.209 align:center
Yes?

01:00:40.762 --> 01:00:41.972 align:center
Let's get a divorce.

01:01:18.174 --> 01:01:19.550 align:center
EPILOGUE

01:01:19.551 --> 01:01:20.552 align:center
Tell me.

01:01:21.094 --> 01:01:22.928 align:center
Who are you trying to save here? Yourself?

01:01:22.929 --> 01:01:24.347 align:center
Or the Grand Prince?

01:01:31.730 --> 01:01:32.814 align:center
Him.

01:01:37.527 --> 01:01:39.571 align:center
I can save myself.

01:01:43.116 --> 01:01:44.117 align:center
You…

01:01:47.662 --> 01:01:49.247 align:center
Please, Father.

01:01:59.090 --> 01:02:02.010 align:center
PERFECT CROWN

01:02:38.630 --> 01:02:40.131 align:center
I want to cut my losses.

01:02:40.715 --> 01:02:42.008 align:center
Let's get a divorce.

01:02:43.259 --> 01:02:44.594 align:center
Is this how it felt?

01:02:46.137 --> 01:02:48.305 align:center
Are they really
going to get divorced?

01:02:48.306 --> 01:02:51.183 align:center
You must stop either
the Grand Prince or His Majesty.

01:02:51.184 --> 01:02:52.685 align:center
Do whatever you must.

01:02:52.686 --> 01:02:53.895 align:center
But you lost it all.

01:02:54.479 --> 01:02:56.189 align:center
What could you possibly do for me now?

01:02:56.773 --> 01:02:57.856 align:center
Did you truly believe

01:02:57.857 --> 01:03:00.734 align:center
I could not protect us?

01:03:00.735 --> 01:03:02.486 align:center
Surely you do not intend to accept.

01:03:02.487 --> 01:03:05.864 align:center
I need the girl I hid
brought to the palace.

01:03:05.865 --> 01:03:07.409 align:center
You did not trust me.

01:03:09.494 --> 01:03:11.287 align:center
The palace gates
will be shut soon.

01:03:12.622 --> 01:03:13.665 align:center
Let's see this through.

01:03:14.749 --> 01:03:15.834 align:center
I will be by your side.

01:03:17.585 --> 01:03:19.587 align:center
