Knight Flower (2024) s01e12 Episode Script

1
Wait!
Wait a second.
Do you know a man named Cho Seong-hu?
Cho Seong-hu is dead.
I found him one year after he disappeared…
and killed him myself.
I am Capital Guard Superintendent Park.
I have an urgent report for Your Majesty.
She is not breathing.
Please wait!
What did you just tell me?
-Yeo-hwa.
-My lady.
Let me go!
I must hear what Madam Oh said.
What did you say to me, Madam Oh?
How dare you act so impolitely
in front of His Majesty?
Listen, all!
All of this was
due to my negligence.
You shall return to your home.
I will uncover the truth
of what happened here today at all costs.
Until then…
no one is allowed to act carelessly.
You have made a lot of preparations,
unlike your usual self, sire.
Why did you not simply
arrest me for questioning
rather than go to all of this trouble?
Have you forgotten
what Madam Oh testified with her death?
The circumstances of how you poisoned
my father have come to light.
How can you still be so shameless?
I told you I know nothing of the matter,
Your Majesty.
And even if it were true,
there is no way to prove it
now that Madam Oh is dead.
Left Councilor.
Do you not fear the heavens?
Royal Advisor Park.
If you wish
to at least preserve His Majesty's life,
please guide him onto the right path.
How dare you try to oppose me
with such a measly trick?
There is a story about a monkey
that drowned while trying to grab
the moon's reflection in a lake.
Can you not see that Your Majesty is
a monkey who does not know his place?
How dare you say that to your king?
How can you be exactly the same
as the foolish former king?
Do not speak of my father!
My father…
wanted to build a wonderful nation
where all of the people could thrive.
"A nation where all of the people
can thrive," you say?
So,
is there no social class
in the world Your Majesty dreams of?
A world where lowly commoners
can take the state exam,
and slaves can become officials?
Have you thought about what effect
that would have on this nation?
If everyone was allowed
to live to the best of their ability
regardless of their social status,
the nation would grow stronger
in the future.
Did you just say,
"regardless of their social status"?
Your Majesty.
You also did nothing to deserve to be king
except for being born
as the former king's eldest son.
Knowing our place
and maintaining the positions
we were born into is only natural.
You must not forget the way of the world.
If you try to go against it, in the end,
you will have to surrender
your position first, Your Majesty.
Brother…
That was pretty good.
You should be able
to protect yourself now.
It is not your turn to stand guard today.
I will have a sword cane made
just for you one day.
Please do not go.
You must not go.
Brother.
Brother!
Are you all right?
My lady.
Where is Father?
He has not returned home yet.
By the way,
Superintendent Park said
he had urgent news to tell you.
He said he would wait for you
at the rental bookstore.
RENTAL BOOKSTORE
Are you all right?
Madam Oh said…
that my father-in-law killed my brother.
How could he do such a thing?
How could he
kill my brother
and look at me with such warmth?
It cannot be.
I am sure Madam Oh was mistaken.
That is what I was going to tell you.
Kang Pil-jik confessed
to killing your brother…
under the order
of the left councilor.
Lady Cho!
Mother.
Do you know
anything about what happened today?
How could I know what goes on
beyond these walls?
My only hope…
is that nothing happens to you or Yeo-hwa.
Mother.
What is the meaning
of my wife's brother going missing?
He disappeared a few months
before the wedding
and has not been heard from since.
She has not once heard from him
in over a decade,
but she believes he is still alive
and goes to pray for him every year.
She was able to endure
those difficult and harsh times
only because she awaited
the return of her brother.
I believe
that is what gave her strength to go on.
Did you
kill Cho Seong-hu?
Is anyone out there?
Superintendent!
Tell me when,
where,
and how you killed Cho Seong-hu.
After a year of searching for him,
we spotted him in Bukchon.
We chased after him
to the forest behind Sodang Valley--
My brother
came to Bukchon?
Father.
Hello, Yeo-hwa.
Are you not too hot?
No, I am all right.
Is there still no news of your brother?
No, not yet.
I am also looking as hard as I can.
He knew he would die if he got caught,
but he still came back
to see his sister.
So, he came back.
He came back.
When you killed him,
was…
the left councilor there?
Where are you going?
Do not follow me.
I will go with you.
I wish to be alone.
Did you die…
because of me in the end?
You came to see me and…
Oh, no…
I was in an unfamiliar place
all by myself.
When my brother died,
you should have just died too!
Despite spending my days
filled with sorrow,
the only reason I was able
to stand strong and endure,
gladly doing what I could,
is because I awaited the day…
to see you again as Cho Yeo-hwa,
your proud sister who lived confidently.
-Father.
-Yes.
Let us wait for him together.
How can the man I served as a parent
be the enemy who took your life?
How could the heavens
be this cruel to me?
What reason do I have…
to carry on living now?
Now,
I will complete…
my final task.
With Madam Oh now dead,
there is no evidence left.
-Stop.
-My lord.
My lord!
Who are you?
Did you truly
kill Cho Seong-hu?
How on earth do you know him?
Even though you killed him,
did you shamelessly pretend
that he was still alive?
I will show you who I am.
You will get to see
exactly what you have done.
My lord! Let us go.
Come, my lord.
Why are you stopping me?
Do you intend to die here?
Are you trying to give up everything
by exposing your identity
and killing Lord Seok?
Yes, I am!
I will kill that man
and simply pay the price.
Do you and His Majesty
not want to do the same?
I will end this!
But for what reason are you stopping me?
I am the same!
I think about killing Lord Seok
and sacrificing my life
to avenge my parents
dozens of times a day!
However,
I cannot do that.
Would your brother
truly want you to die to avenge him?
If that is
the only way to end this…
then I will do it.
So, please
do not harm yourself, my lady.
You are late, my lord.
You must have been very shocked today.
Are you all right?
Yes.
My lady.
All you have to do
is take good care of household affairs.
Do not worry about what goes on outside.
Yes, my lord.
You must be tired. Go inside and rest.
I heard you were attacked by the mask.
Park Su-ho also showed up there.
I am certain they are working together.
What on earth is going on?
Bring Prince An-san to the capital.
Pardon?
His Majesty will know better than anyone
what it means to bring
Prince An-san to the capital.
He is part of the royal family,
but he is of the collateral line
and is only six years old.
I decide who will become king anyway.
It does not matter
as long as he has royal blood.
Besides…
the younger he is, the better.
I believed
that my brother was alive all along.
There was a secret hiding spot
at the place
where we practiced martial arts.
Before my wedding,
I left a letter there.
When I went back to that spot,
the letter was gone,
and this sword lay there instead.
So, I believed that my brother was alive.
He probably intended…
to leave this sword for me.
I will have a sword cane made
just for you one day.
A secretive and special sword
that suits you perfectly.
A special sword?
To my one and only sister, Yeo-hwa.
If you are reading this letter,
that means I am no longer by your side.
Please forgive your awful brother
for breaking his promise to return.
Are you living the life you want now?
Are you living your life
gladly doing what you want?
If the crown prince
has safely ascended the throne,
please give him the other letter.
And
do not think of your brother anymore,
who failed to protect you
and only left you
with a heavy burden.
Kang Pil-jik has been murdered!
Who are you?
I will enter for a moment.
What is it?
I wish to ask you about what happened
at the palace yesterday.
It is none of your concern.
Did you know
that the tea had been poisoned?
How would I know that?
If you had known,
would you have stopped me
before I drank it?
You would not have.
Did you come in here
to ask such a useless question?
You should have already become
a state official by now.
Instead, you wallow in emotions
like a woman.
When will you pull yourself together?
I may not know politics,
but I know my duties to my family.
You abandoned your parents
and lived as you pleased.
Are you not ashamed
to speak about family now?
All of this is for the sake of our family,
but of course, you would not know.
What on earth are you trying to gain
by risking the lives of your family?
I hope
that my mother and wife
do not have to suffer again.
That is my last request as your son.
You are eating so heartily.
I must eat.
I must eat my fill
and do what I have to do.
Is it not just the letter
that you must deliver to His Majesty?
I will do that,
as well as other things.
I heard you crying all night,
so I worried
that you might be sick in bed.
It seems I still do not know
enough about you.
I should have thought about
what trouble you would cause next.
All right.
I will get going now.
Please be careful.
You are still Lord Seok's daughter-in-law.
What will you do
if someone catches you
wandering Unjong Street?
Do not worry.
I have lived with him for 15 years.
He would not kill me
for staying out for one night.
But…
I wish she were sick instead.
I am so anxious I cannot take it.
GEONSEON GATE
What is it you had to tell me?
Yes, that is…
I personally saw the person
who killed Kang Pil-jik.
Last night,
a suspicious masked figure
snuck into the Capital Guard.
A masked figure, you say?
Yes, my lord.
I heard
what the mask said
as he killed Kang Pil-jik.
I thought I should tell you, my lord.
What did he say?
He said something
about avenging Cho Seong-hu.
He said he would give
a piece of evidence to His Majesty
and not let you get away
with what happened on that day.
Your Majesty.
I, Cho Yeo-hwa,
make your acquaintance.
Did you ask to see me?
You were searching for my brother,
Cho Seong-hu.
But the left councilor
has already killed him.
The royal advisor told me.
I am
so terribly sorry.
Now that the evidence of treason
that my brother had is gone,
what do you plan to do from now on?
I dare to ask Your Majesty again.
When you find the evidence of treason,
what do you plan on doing afterward?
I planned to get rid of the left councilor
and follow my father's will
to build a nation
where all people can thrive.
If you could not find any evidence,
did you plan to do nothing
and simply wait around?
You must have thought I was such a coward.
Since the moment you ascended the throne,
I lived
in the lowliest of places
as a widow of Joseon.
Do you know
how I lived each day?
Aside from missing
and crying aloud for my husband,
what could I do?
I thought about what I could do every day,
and eventually put on a mask
and jumped over the wall.
Because even if I died one day,
I would have been nothing
if I had not done anything.
I would have no reason
to live if I did nothing,
so I did my best
to carry on living.
Have you been spending your days
thinking of ways
to help the people of the nation each day
as you sat on your throne?
Aside from catching Lord Seok
and revealing the truth of that day,
I had forgotten
my daily duties as the king.
I should have thought of them…
every single day.
I had forgotten such an obvious thing.
What a foolish king I am.
I feel truly sorry…
and ashamed for my actions.
I believe
that you will become
a sage king, Your Majesty.
I apologize, Your Majesty.
I have wielded a sword in your presence.
This sword is
the only thing my brother left to me.
Within it,
there is a letter
my brother guarded with his life.
Please
become a king
who can gladly admit his faults
and help people like me
not give up hope of living
in a better world.
My beloved Crown Prince So.
If something bad happens to me,
it is certainly
the doing of the traitor Seok Ji-seong.
You must preserve your life
and ascend the throne.
You must finish what I could not
and become a strong ruler
who creates a new world
where all the people can dream.
No matter what…
I will become a strong ruler
and carry out what you willed, Father.
CAPITAL GUARD
How did I get involved in such a thing?
I thought my job
would be nothing but smooth sailing.
His Majesty will never forget
your contribution, Captain Hwang.
You see, I have six children.
My youngest daughter is still unmarried.
I am so very scared.
Do not worry.
Everything will work out.
You did perfectly this morning, too.
You are one to talk.
You were perfect
at pretending to be the mask.
What happened to Kang Pil-jik?
Please take me out now.
-I can barely breathe.
-Boss?
Is that you, Mansik?
Boss!
Shall we just leave them?
I was considering the same thing.
I did everything you said.
Please save me.
I will save you since you confessed.
But you must live as a butcher
for the rest of your life.
-Take them away.
-Yes, sir.
Royal Advisor…
-Sir!
-Boss.
What do you think
the left councilor will do?
He thinks the mask and I are a team,
so he will likely follow me.
I am His Majesty's closest aide.
He will surely follow me.
We will see once we leave.
Is this enough for Lord Seok
to take the bait?
Yes. We are being followed as expected.
There seem to be about five men.
I cannot sense them at all.
There are as many as five?
-Brother.
-Yes?
You do know how to use a sword, right?
I am the nation's royal advisor.
Do not worry.
I can protect myself.
Just in case.
What is that?
Please deliver this to His Majesty.
Stop!
Hand over the letter.
I cannot do that.
I got the letter.
It is done.
Would you not agree
that I could be a superintendent now?
My lord.
This is it.
HUIJEONGDANG HALL
Your Majesty.
The left councilor has come
to the royal palace.
Your Majesty.
I, Prince An-san, greet you.
PRINCE AN-SAN:
LEE SO'S FIRST COUSIN THREE TIMES REMOVED
Left Councilor.
What are you doing all of a sudden?
Why did you bring Prince An-san here?
You must show a firm will
to keep the throne, Your Majesty.
Only then can I serve you,
and this is my way
of showing you my intentions.
A firm will, you say?
Your Majesty.
You must immediately
dethrone the queen dowager.
Madam Oh dared try to poison Your Majesty,
and she died to escape her crime.
You must make the queen dowager
take responsibility.
-Left Councilor!
-If not,
will you pass down the throne
to young Prince An-san here?
Your Majesty,
I have summoned all of the royal court.
Summoning the royal court
at this early hour?
Let them enter.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
Left Councilor.
Is this not Prince An-san?
Your Majesty.
Now that I have delivered my message,
I will escort Prince An-san and go.
Stop right there, Left Councilor.
Someone is here to meet you.
Let them enter.
-A woman?
-What is this?
-A woman cannot be here.
-How dare she?
What on earth is going on?
This is absurd.
Outrageous.
Your Majesty.
How can you allow a woman
in the royal palace?
Why are you here?
Explain why you are here, Lady Cho.
I am
Lord Seok's daughter-in-law.
How dare you enter this place?
I am also the sister
of Cho Seong-hu,
a soldier of the King's Guard
who received the former king's
last secret order.
Fifteen years ago,
after my brother disappeared,
I married into the Seok family.
My husband died on our wedding day,
so I have been a widow since then.
Shut your mouth!
During this time,
my life as a widow was not all bad,
thanks to my father-in-law,
who was a renowned councilor
and kind person.
Your Majesty.
How could you summon court officials
to listen to a mere woman's complaint?
That is right.
Here and now,
this mere woman
intends to report
her father-in-law.
-What?
-What is she saying?
First.
To find my brother,
he held me hostage as his daughter-in-law
and killed Cho Seong-hu.
Second.
He slaughtered General Im Gang's
entire family.
Enough!
Im Gang?
The former general of the king's guard?
Was his whole family not killed
by a group of outlaws?
-Yes.
-That is right.
Let them enter.
I am General Im Gang's son,
Im Hyeon-jae.
I have come to see Your Majesty
as that day's witness.
Was his whole family not killed?
That is also what I heard.
Is he not Park Su-ho,
the chief scholar's adopted son?
Royal Advisor.
Is he not your brother?
Royal Advisor.
Explain how this happened.
Yes, Your Majesty.
On the night of the former king's passing
15 years ago,
I received an order from the king
to save the dying general's young son,
so I brought him to my home.
When that tragic incident happened
to a loyal subject like Im Gang,
it broke my heart.
To think his son was alive…
Lastly,
-the former king--
-Silence!
Do you want to be kicked out of our home?
Father.
I came here prepared to die.
Do you think
I would be afraid of getting kicked out?
This sword
was left to me by my brother.
Inside it
are the former king's dying words
proving Lord Seok is a traitor.
Left Councilor Seok Ji-seong
poisoned the former king
and killed General Im Gang
and my brother,
who received the former king's
royal edict.
I,
Im Hyeon-jae,
and this letter
are all evidence of that.
As the daughter-in-law
of the traitor Lord Seok,
I will gladly accept punishment
alongside my father-in-law.
What is the meaning of this,
Left Councilor?
The former king was poisoned?
Did you kill Im Gang?
Say something.
For what other reason
would your daughter-in-law
risk her life to say those things?
I heard Madam Oh also died
after drinking poisoned tea.
Were the rumors true?
So what?
Even if it were true,
what would be the problem?
It was all for the sake
of protecting this nation.
If I had not made the agonizing choice
to get rid of the former king,
where would you be right now?
And what about this nation?
What would have become of it all?
Father.
You have said quite enough.
You are…
Yes, Father.
It was me.
What is she doing?
Perhaps I should have
cut off your head that night.
Do not make me reconsider, Father.
How could you…
Your Majesty.
Please give your royal command.
I have a lot to discuss
with my father-in-law privately.
Guards.
Arrest the traitor Seok Ji-seong at once!
-Yes, sire!
-Yes, sire!
Do not lay a finger on me!
It was all to protect the nobility.
We are the foundation of this nation.
We have held these positions
for generations.
It is right that our descendants
hold them after us.
I was only protecting them.
You must bear this in mind.
The nation of Joseon
belongs to the nobility.
Who on earth are you?
Have you already forgotten
who I am?
I am Cho Yeo-hwa,
daughter-in-law of the left councilor.
HODU PAVILION
While you killed the former king
and supported
Kang Pil-jik and Madam Oh
to try and hide it,
your daughter-in-law
jumped over the wall every night,
risking her life to fight them.
However,
there was only one thing I did not do.
Consider yourself lucky
that I did not
punish you with my sword myself.
I am someone
who takes action before the law does.
But just this once,
I will watch you
pay for your crimes
in accordance
with the law of the nation.
The criminal Seok Ji-seong
ordered the poisoning of the former king
and damaged the royal edict.
He then slaughtered
General Im Gang and his family
and killed Cho Seong-hu
to destroy evidence of his treason.
Mother!
Father was just arrested
for the crime of treason.
Treason?
Mother.
Criminal Seok Ji-seong
will be dismissed from his post
and demoted to the lowest class.
He will receive 100 beatings
and be confined on Bogil Island.
CONFINEMENT WITHIN
THORN FENCES TO PREVENT ESCAPE
I order him to repent his crimes
until the day he dies.
Carry out the order immediately.
-Yes, sire!
-Yes, sire!
Your Majesty, I asked to see you
because I dare to have a request.
Tell me whatever it may be.
I will always listen
to what you have to say.
Your Majesty.
I dare to ask you to spare the lives
of the other family members who were
already hurt by my father-in-law's crimes.
I was deceived by him my whole life
and they were no different
and have no involvement in any of this.
As you said, his family knew nothing
and must be innocent.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
HWAYEON
This is too harsh.
A divorced woman?
First, she was a widow,
and now she must live
the rest of her life as a divorced woman!
There is nothing I can do
about this situation.
She was stuck at home to cry all day,
and now she will be branded
as a divorced woman.
I wanted to run Myeongdo Inn with her
once she left that house.
Whether she is widowed or divorced,
she will still be treated poorly
in Joseon.
After everything she has been through,
she will end up living without a name.
I will take Lady Cho
and run away to Qing or anywhere else.
I blame the left councilor's family for…
Hello, sir.
-Yes.
-Goodness.
Well, then.
I actually came
because I wondered
what my wife plans to do.
Where is she?
She went out early this morning.
I do not know where she went.
Goodness.
What are you all gathered here for?
What brings you here, Royal Advisor?
I was also curious
about Lady Cho's future plans.
I am urgently needed at the palace.
I will be gone for a few days.
What brings you here?
I thought you would be here.
Do you remember
the question you asked me a long time ago?
If I found out what happened to my brother
and exposed all of Lord Seok's crimes,
you asked me what I would do next.
Have you
thought about it?
When everything is done,
who will I live as?
What will I live for?
Not as someone's daughter-in-law
or married to a man as his wife.
Not even as the mask in the moonlight.
But I realized
that even after everything was done,
the fact that I was
the Seok family's daughter-in-law
would never change.
Even if I were to get divorced,
I was the daughter-in-law
of a noble family.
So, my position
would not be much different than a widow.
What do you mean?
That is what the law states,
so nothing can be done.
Ask His Majesty--
He already spared the rest of my family,
which was a difficult enough task.
His Majesty
cannot change the law just for me.
-Lady Cho.
-So you should also…
follow your own path now, sir.
I cannot do that.
Whether you wear a mask
or are a widow or a divorced woman,
it does not matter to me.
I will stay by your side.
I wish
to be with you.
Such is the law.
Nothing can be done.
This is so unfair to Lady Cho, sir.
She was a widow for 15 years,
eating just one meal a day
and crying all day long.
She could not even go outside.
Is there truly nothing we can do?
Regardless, that house…
She cannot stay there any longer.
His Majesty does pity her,
but nothing can be done.
Excuse me.
I have a question.
Lady Cho said she married Novice Joo
without ever seeing his face.
Can you get married like that?
It takes two to form a pair.
Can you not get married on your own?
I have come
to report someone for fraud!
That person…
is me.
-What?
-What is he saying?
-Is he unwell?
-Did he say "fraud"?
-What is going on?
-I am not sure.
Make way for the Capital Guard.
Move aside.
Make way.
What are you doing?
Hurry up and arrest me.
Goodness.
You should report this
to the Ministry of Rites.
Why are you doing this
in front of the palace?
I am saying
that my marriage was a fraud.
I am here to confess this to everyone.
From the start,
my marriage was a sham.
I was blinded by love
and ran away to Qing.
Despite knowing that,
my father accepted Cho Yeo-hwa
as his daughter-in-law.
This was clearly a fraudulent marriage.
I am
already married in Qing
and have what is called a wife.
-What?
-What is a "wife"?
I have a spouse.
-Oh, a spouse.
-I see.
Since I cannot have two wives,
so this marriage must be declared invalid.
Then, because of a husband
who was alive and already married,
that poor woman…
had to endure life as a widow?
Please let me go.
Superintendent Park…
I did not know.
I did not know either.
Despite not knowing,
I still wronged that woman.
So please give that woman
who suffered because of me
her freedom!
I gladly approve.
It is His Majesty!
-Your Majesty!
-Your Majesty!
I heard there was a fun incident going on,
so I came to observe.
I will tell the Ministry of Rites
to nullify this marriage.
Thank you for your generosity,
Your Majesty.
That was a wise decision, Your Majesty.
Lady Cho has vanished?
She only left this behind.
I will live well,
so do not worry about me.
Is this
all there is?
She seemed perfectly normal
when we left home
and came to Myeongdo Inn yesterday.
Did she truly go
after leaving just one sentence behind?
I wonder if she even found out
her marriage was annulled.
If you leave now,
will you ever return to this house?
No.
Well…
It may be uncomfortable
to stay at Myeongdo Inn.
You can stay here
until you find a new home.
Can you not?
They say matches are made by the heavens.
It was truly a relief to see
that after 15 years,
you had returned as my husband.
Have a good life.
Be free.
And even better
if we ever crossed paths at night.
I like admirable people, you see.
I am sorry, Yeo-hwa.
That is all I can say.
I am sorry.
Mother.
Every day, I felt resentment,
sadness,
and hatred.
But I was able to endure those long years
because I had you
by my side, Mother.
Will you allow me to think of you
as my only remaining family?
No matter where I go…
can I say I have a mother
and rely on the thought of you?
Of course, you can.
I hope…
you forget all of the hard times…
and live well.
Smile
and live a good life.
Yes, Mother.
I will.
No matter what,
I will live like that.
SOUI GATE
Someone's daughter-in-law, someone's wife,
someone's lover.
I no longer wish
to be referred to that way.
Did you not
say this once, sir?
You told me
to worry about myself before others.
I would like to try living like that.
So you too
should not worry about me
and think of yourself.
Live a life full of smiles.
Do you know how lovely your smile is?
So now, be like everyone else
and live a very ordinary life…
in joy and happiness.
I will live like that.
I will
wait for you like that.
-Hello!
-Take a look.
1 YEAR LATER
DU-RE RICE CAKES
Kkon-nim,
I heard you've already learned
the Thousand Character Text.
Yes. The royal advisor said
he would teach me math next month.
Why are you studying so diligently?
I want to become someone great
like Lady Cho one day.
Hwal-yu, can you buy me
another sticky rice cake?
Is it for Mr. Joo?
Yes.
Please give us
ten more sticky rice cakes, ma'am.
All right.
Take a look at this too.
Yeon-seon.
Our profit rose
by 2,500 yang compared to last month.
Do not call her by her name.
She is now our merchant guild's investor.
Monthly profits have risen
since Yeon-seon joined.
I could pass the guild on to you at once.
Do not say that.
I still have a long way to go.
Royal Advisor Park
is here to see the investor.
Superintendent Park
used to come here every day,
but now it is Royal Advisor Park
who comes by.
I cannot tell if this is
Myeongdo Inn or the palace.
I will be back soon.
All right.
Did things go as you wished?
It was very difficult
to get His Majesty's approval,
but now I can live as a hallyang.
Your dream was to become a hallyang?
How funny.
It has long been my wish
to leave the stressful royal court
and live peacefully.
By the way,
have you chosen
your dream tile-roofed house in Hanyang?
I liked a few of the ones I saw,
but none of them felt quite right.
I know of a nice house.
The yard is always full of sunlight,
and flowers bloom in all four seasons.
Where is it?
Is this not your house, sir?
Would you like…
to take a look around with me?
Yes.
Goodness, my lord.
You have come.
Bi-chan.
So, did you bring what I asked you to?
Yes.
Here it is.
What is this?
Is this not his date and time of birth?
DATE AND TIME OF BIRTH
USED TO TELL MARRIAGE FORTUNES
You are far past the age to get married.
You cannot delay any more.
You have postponed marriage long enough,
so you must decide now.
Yes, of course you must.
-Thank you--
-No, Father.
What did you just say?
After marriage,
we will be husband and wife
for the rest of our lives.
I wish to enjoy courting a bit longer.
Oh, dear.
Goodness.
Royal Advisor.
What is going on?
It is better for you
not to know, Captain Park.
Why have you not
gotten used to things yet?
You should have known
she would react this way.
I heard the Ministry of Defense is busy.
Is it all right for you to be out?
An expert artisan in Cheongsong
made this himself.
To commemorate your promotion
to captain of the Capital Guard,
I brought it here personally.
Do you know what I went through
to obtain this precious white porcelain?
Captain Park.
We found the hideout
of the gang that is kidnapping women.
Where is it? Let us go.
-You cannot go without me.
-What?
Wait for me.
I wish
I could go too.
Have you heard of the masked figure
who makes an appearance
when the moon shines brightly?
-Of course!
-Who is that?
It has been a while since he vanished.
Settle down, everyone.
I will tell you
all about that woman today.
"Woman"? The mask was a woman?
But I heard they had
incredible martial arts skills.
It cannot be.
I call her…
the knight flower.
Help me!
Please, sir. Why are you doing this?
I was wondering who was disturbing
the peace in the capital again.
So, it was you fools.
Who are you?
I just arrived in the capital.
Is this not too warm of a welcome?
I will beat you to a pulp tonight.
Captain!
-Captain!
-What?
Run!
-That way.
-Yes, sir.
Are you all right?
Who on earth are you,
covering your face and waving a sword
in the center of the capital?
Did you return
because you distrust the Capital Guard
and worry about peace in the capital?
Or did you return
for another reason?
It is not that I distrust
the Capital Guard.
Now that you are back in my sight…
you can never leave my sight again.
I am not the type of person
to be easily caught.
But I will give you a chance to try.
