Transcript
00:00Ji-yeon's heart pounded as he was pushed forward by the masked men,
00:04their heavy boots crunching on the dirt path. The moon cast eerie shadows through the thick
00:09trees, but he couldn't focus on the path ahead. His thoughts raced with confusion and fear.
00:16When they reached an isolated house tucked deep into the woods, Ji-yeon's breath caught.
00:22The masked men pushed open the door, revealing a dimly lit room.
00:25His eyes widened when he saw Yoon-na and Han-su tied up, their faces pale and anxious.
00:33Yoon-na! Han-su! Ji-yeon exclaimed, rushing forward, but the men grabbed his arms,
00:40holding him back. Yoon-na's brows knitted in confusion. Ji-yeon! Who are these people?
00:48What's going on? Han-su's voice was sharp. Who are they, and why are we here?
00:55Before Ji-yeon could answer, a familiar voice filled the room.
01:00You all have so many questions. Perhaps it's time for answers. Ji-yeon froze.
01:07Slowly, a figure stepped out from the shadows. It was Sun-min.
01:13Father? Ji-yeon's voice cracked, equal parts disbelief and anger.
01:18Yoon-na and Han-su stared in shock. Sun-min's expression was cold and unreadable.
01:25Surprised, Ji-yeon. Did you really think I wouldn't know what you and your little friends were up to?
01:32Smuggling goods under my nose. Ji-yeon glared at him.
01:37If you knew, why didn't you stop us?
01:40Because it served me to let you play your little games, Sun-min said, his voice calm but with an edge
01:45of menace. I knew a time would come when your disobedience could be turned to my advantage.
01:51And that time is now. You-na struggled against her bindings.
01:57Master, I am sorry for disobeying you.
02:00Please don't hurt Ji-yeon. Spare him please.
02:04Sun-min ignored her.
02:06For now, his focus solely was on Ji-yeon.
02:09You've always wondered, haven't you?
02:13Why I forced you to live as a woman your entire life.
02:17Why I controlled your every move.
02:19It's time you learned the truth.
02:22He motioned to the masked men, and they dragged Ji-yeon to another room.
02:27The air was heavy, the walls lined with old tapestries and a single flickering lantern.
02:33Sun-min stood before Ji-yeon, his face a mask of bitterness.
02:36I am not the simple wealthy merchant everyone thinks I am.
02:41I am the son of the previous king, your grandfather.
02:45And you, Ji-yeon, are his grandson.
02:48Ji-yeon felt the floor shift beneath him.
02:51What?
02:53Sun-min's voice hardened.
02:55I watched as King Jang slaughtered our family.
02:59He burned the palace to the ground, leaving no survivors, or so he thought.
03:03I escaped, but not before witnessing the horrors he unleashed.
03:08He thinks I am dead.
03:10He has no idea I've been planning my revenge for years.
03:15Ji-yeon shook his head, disbelief flooding him.
03:18If this is true, why involve me?
03:21Why force me to live as a woman?
03:24Because you are the key to my plan, Sun-min said.
03:28Marrying your mother was a strategic move.
03:30Her wealth allowed me to build an army, to fund my preparations.
03:35But you, you will secure my victory.
03:38Ji-yeon's chest tightened.
03:41What do you mean?
03:42You will marry the crown prince, Sun-min declared, his eyes gleaming with calculated intent.
03:48You will infiltrate the royal family.
03:51When the time comes, you will strike.
03:54Kill King Jang.
03:55Open the gates to my army, and we will take back what is rightfully ours.
04:01Ji-yeon's voice trembled with anger.
04:04You've used me and my mother for your revenge.
04:07That's all we've ever been to you, tools.
04:11Sun-min's expression didn't waver.
04:14Tools.
04:15Perhaps.
04:16But necessary ones.
04:19Without you, this plan cannot succeed.
04:22And if I refuse?
04:24Ji-yeon demanded.
04:26Sun-min's lips curled into a cruel smile.
04:30Then you na and Han-su will die.
04:33Their blood will be on your hands.
04:36Ji-yeon's heart sank, his gaze darting to the closed door where his friends were being held.
04:41You will do as I say, Sun-min continued.
04:44Once I take back the throne, I'll let you go.
04:48You'll be free to live the life you've always wanted.
04:50Tears of frustration stung Ji-yeon's eyes, but he refused to let them fall.
04:57He was cornered, trapped in a web of manipulation and impossible choices.
05:02Sun-min turned to leave, his voice cold and final.
05:05Think it over, Ji-yeon.
05:08But don't take too long.
05:10Lives depend on your decision.
05:13Left alone in the dim room, Ji-yeon sank to his knees, his mind a whirlwind of emotions, fear, anger, and despair.
05:21Could he really betray his own morals to save the people he cared about?
05:25Or would he find another way to defy his father's ruthless plan?
05:30The royal infirmary buzzed with urgency, the air heavy with the scent of medicinal herbs and whispered prayers.
05:37Prince Kyung-hoon lay motionless on a grand, ornate bed, his face pale, his breaths shallow.
05:44The physicians worked tirelessly, their voices low but firm as they passed instructions, hands moving deftly to stabilize him.
05:51Outside the chamber, King Jang paced restlessly, his usual composure faltering under the weight of worry.
05:59His thick robes swished with each hurried step.
06:02How much longer, he barked at no one in particular, his voice a mix of authority and fear.
06:09Beside him, Queen Sien-hue sat rigid, her expression one of barely contained fury.
06:15Her fan snapped shut with a sharp flick of her wrist as she turned her piercing gaze to Tae-jin,
06:20who stood a few steps away, his head bowed.
06:23This is your fault, the queen hissed, her voice trembling with anger.
06:28You were supposed to protect your brother.
06:31How could you let this happen?
06:33Tae-jin clenched his fists, his knuckles white, but he said nothing.
06:38Kyung-hoon's life, she continued, her words cutting like a blade, is worth far more than yours.
06:44You should have been the one lying there, not him.
06:47Enough, the king said sharply, though his tone lacked conviction.
06:53He didn't look at Tae-jin as he added, what's done is done.
06:57What matters now is Kyung-hoon's recovery.
07:00The queen turned away with a huff, her anger far from subsiding.
07:05She turned her attention back to the infirmary door, her eyes filled with a mixture of fury and worry.
07:11It took two grueling days before the physicians could assure the royal family that Kyung-hoon was no longer in immediate danger.
07:19The news brought relief to the king, but the queen had a different plan.
07:24She turned to Min-seo, who had been lingering at the edges of the room.
07:28You.
07:29You will stay by his side and tend to him.
07:33Do not leave him, even for a moment.
07:35Min-seo curtsied deeply, her eyes alight with a mixture of eagerness and calculation.
07:42Yes, your majesty.
07:44I will do everything I can to help the prince recover.
07:47The moment Kyung-hoon's eyes fluttered open, the tension that had gripped the palace for days seemed to lift.
07:54The king, who had been anxiously sitting by his side, let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.
08:00The queen rushed forward, her anger momentarily replaced with relief, as she grasped her son's hand tightly.
08:08You're awake, she said softly, her voice trembling with uncharacteristic vulnerability.
08:14You're safe now, my son.
08:17Kyung-hoon blinked, his gaze slowly focusing on the faces around him.
08:22What, happened, he murmured, his voice hoarse.
08:25You were attacked, the king explained, his tone firm but tinged with concern.
08:31The physicians have done their best.
08:34You need to rest now.
08:36The queen quickly stepped in.
08:38No one will harm you again, I promise.
08:41You must focus on recovering.
08:44It wasn't long before Min-seo inserted herself into the picture, as ordered by the queen.
08:49She arrived with trays of carefully prepared meals and an air of exaggerated devotion.
08:56Sitting by his bedside, she smiled sweetly.
09:00Your highness, she said, her voice honeyed, you don't need to lift a finger.
09:05I'll take care of everything.
09:07If it pleases you, I could even move into the palace to be closer.
09:12That way, I can watch over you day and night.
09:14Kyung-hoon's eyes narrowed slightly as he regarded her, his patience already wearing thin.
09:21Min-seo leaned closer, her hand brushing his lightly as she whispered,
09:26I could make your recovery, much more pleasant.
09:29His jaw tightened, and his eyes hardened.
09:32Enough, I already have plenty of servants to attend to me.
09:37A noble woman like yourself shouldn't worry, he said coldly,
09:40his voice cutting through the room like a blade.
09:42Min-seo froze, startled by the sharpness in his tone.
09:47You can leave now, Kyung-hoon ordered, turning his gaze away from her.
09:52And don't come back.
09:54But your highness.
09:56Now, he snapped, his words final.
10:00Humiliated, Min-seo stood and left,
10:02her carefully crafted demeanor slipping as she disappeared from the room.
10:07With the distractions gone, Kyung-hoon's thoughts returned to the only thing that seemed to matter,
10:12Ji-yoon.
10:13The memory of their encounter in the forest haunted him,
10:17the way Ji-yoon had looked at him, the strange mixture of familiarity and distance in his eyes.
10:23He couldn't let it go.
10:25Late one night, he called for Tae-jin.
10:28Despite still recovering from his own injuries, Tae-jin came to his brother's chambers,
10:33his face pale but attentive.
10:35I need you to find someone, Kyung-hoon said, his voice low but urgent.
10:41That man we saw in the forest.
10:44His name is Ji-yoon.
10:46He's, he hesitated, searching for the right words.
10:50He's someone I used to know.
10:53I need to know where he is.
10:55Tae-jin frowned slightly but nodded.
10:58I'll do everything I can.
11:01Days turned into weeks as Tae-jin deployed every resource at his disposal.
11:06He questioned merchants, sent messages to informants, and scoured the city for any trace
11:11of Ji-yoon.
11:12But every lead seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving him empty-handed.
11:17Finally, Tae-jin returned to Kyung-hoon's chambers, his expression grim.
11:22I'm sorry, he said quietly.
11:25I couldn't find him.
11:28It's as if he doesn't exist.
11:30Kyung-hoon's jaw clenched, his frustration barely contained.
11:34That's impossible, he said firmly, his voice laced with determination.
11:39He's out there.
11:41I know he is.
11:43Tae-jin sighed, hesitant to push further.
11:46I've done everything I can.
11:49If he's hiding, he doesn't want to be found.
11:53Kyung-hoon shook his head, his resolve unwavering.
11:56No.
11:58I'll find him.
12:00I don't care how long it takes or what it costs.
12:03I will find Ji-yoon.
12:05Tae-jin watched his brother silently, unsure whether to admire his determination or fear where
12:11it might lead him.
12:12As Kyung-hoon sat alone in his chambers, staring blankly at the flickering candle on his desk,
12:18a servant arrived with an urgent message.
12:20Your Highness, the King and Queen have requested your presence in the throne room.
12:26Kyung-hoon sighed, running a hand through his hair.
12:30He didn't need to be told twice.
12:33Summons like these rarely meant anything good.
12:36Rising from his chair, he composed himself and made his way to the throne room.
12:41The air was heavy with formality when he entered.
12:43The king sat upright, his expression grave but composed, while the queen's sharp gaze seemed
12:50to pierce through him.
12:51You sent for me, father?
12:54Kyung-hoon asked, bowing slightly out of respect.
12:58The king wasted no time.
13:00Kyung-hoon, the recent attack on you after your last mission has made it clear to your mother
13:05and me that the line of succession must be solidified.
13:09Kyung-hoon stiffened, sensing where this was going.
13:12You need to select a bride, the queen interjected, her tone leaving no room for argument.
13:18The crown prince must have a future queen.
13:21This is no longer a matter of tradition but one of urgency.
13:25Your life was put at risk, and the royal family cannot afford such uncertainty.
13:31Kyung-hoon's lips pressed into a thin line.
13:33Kyung-hoon, mother, with all due respect, I've only just recovered from.
13:39Kyung-hoon, this is not a negotiation, the queen snapped, her voice like steel.
13:44Kyung-hoon, we've indulged your hesitation long enough.
13:47Kyung-hoon, it is time to fulfill your duty to the kingdom.
13:50Kyung-hoon, the king nodded in agreement.
13:53Kyung-hoon, a competition will soon be held for a week.
13:56Kyung-hoon, the wealthy and noble families will present their daughters,
13:59and you will choose your bride from among them.
14:02Kyung-hoon, the matter is settled.
14:04Kyung-hoon clenched his fists behind his back, his frustration boiling beneath the surface.
14:10As you wish, he said through gritted teeth, bowing stiffly before leaving the throne room.
14:16Meanwhile, Min-seo paced furiously in her chambers, her frustration spilling over as she vented to
14:22her father, the minister of war.
14:24It's not working, she exclaimed, her voice sharp with anger.
14:29No matter what I do, Kyung-hoon refuses to see me as anything more than an inconvenience.
14:35He sent me away like I was nothing.
14:38Her father, a tall, imposing man with a calculating demeanor, leaned back in his chair,
14:44his expression calmed despite her outburst.
14:47Patience, Min-seo, he said, his voice steady and commanding.
14:52You're letting your emotions cloud your judgment.
14:55The queen herself supports our family's claim.
14:59In the end, Kyung-hoon won't have a choice.
15:02You will become the crown princess and, eventually, the queen.
15:06No one can stop that.
15:09Min-seo stopped pacing and turned to him, her eyes blazing.
15:13But what if he chooses someone else?
15:16What if?
15:18Her father cut her off with a wave of his hand.
15:21He won't.
15:23The queen has too much invested in this union.
15:26She won't allow it, and neither will I.
15:29You just need to keep your composure.
15:32Let the ball take its course.
15:33You'll see, this is all but guaranteed.
15:38Min-seo's lips curled into a determined smile, her father's confidence steadying her.
15:44You're right, she said.
15:46I've come too far to let anyone take this from me.
15:49Kyung-hoon will be mine.
15:52One way or another.
15:54Her father gave her a rare smile of approval.
15:57That's my girl.
15:59Remember, power doesn't come to those who wait,
16:02it comes to those who sees it.
16:05Min-seo nodded, her resolve hardening.
16:08If Kyung-hoon wouldn't come to her willingly,
16:10she would ensure there was no alternative.
16:13The moon hung low in the sky,
16:15its silvery glow casting faint shadows across Ji-yeon's room as he sat by the window,
16:20deep in thought.
16:22His father's words echoed in his mind like a haunting refrain,
16:26intertwining with memories of the man he had met that fateful night.
16:29Could it really be Kyung-hoon?
16:32His first friend, the boy who had once brought light into his life, now the crown prince.
16:38If that were true, his world had just grown infinitely more complicated.
16:42But those questions had to wait.
16:45Yoon-ha and Han-soo's safety was his priority.
16:49Their lives depended on his next move,
16:51and the weight of that responsibility pressed heavily on his chest.
16:54A knock on the door broke his reverie.
16:58Ji-yeon, Min-suk called out as he stepped inside,
17:02his face lit up with excitement.
17:04You won't believe it.
17:06Joon-ho is coming home.
17:09Ji-yeon blinked, momentarily startled.
17:12Joon-ho.
17:14Yes.
17:15He's finished his studies,
17:17graduated top of his class,
17:19and they've assigned him to the astrology department at the palace.
17:23Isn't it amazing?
17:25Our brother's going to be working so close to the royal court,
17:28Min-suk beamed, practically bouncing with pride.
17:32Ji-yeon mustered a small smile.
17:34That's wonderful news, Min-suk.
17:37I'm happy for him, and for you.
17:40But Min-suk's elation dimmed as he noticed the distant look in Ji-yeon's eyes.
17:45What's wrong?
17:47You've seemed, off all day.
17:50Are you unwell?
17:51Ji-yeon quickly shook his head, forcing a reassuring tone.
17:56No, I'm fine.
17:58Just tired.
18:00That's all.
18:01Min-suk frowned but didn't press further.
18:05All right.
18:06But if something's bothering you, you can always talk to me, you know.
18:09Of course, Ji-yeon replied, though his smile didn't quite reach his eyes.
18:16That evening, unable to shake his unease, Ji-yeon found himself wandering to an old,
18:21familiar spot, a small grove just outside the village where he and Jun-ho used to play as
18:26children.
18:28The trees stood tall and sturdy, their branches beckoning him like old friends.
18:33Without thinking, he climbed up the nearest tree, the rough bark scraping against his palms.
18:38It had been years since he had done this, and the act brought a fleeting sense of freedom,
18:44a brief escape from the storm inside his mind.
18:47But as he reached for the next branch, his foot slipped.
18:51Ah!
18:52Ji-yeon gasped as he plummeted downward, his heart leaping to his throat.
18:57But instead of hitting the ground, he landed in strong arms.
19:02Startled, Ji-yeon looked up, and his breath caught.
19:05Ji-yeon.
19:06Joon-ho's familiar voice called softly, his eyes wide with recognition, and something else,
19:13a flicker of surprise at the delicate beauty of the person he held.
19:17Ji-yeon blinked, his shock giving way to a bright smile.
19:21Joon-ho.
19:23You're here.
19:25Joon-ho nodded, his gaze lingering on Ji-yeon as if trying to reconcile the boy he remembered
19:30with the person before him.
19:32You've, changed, he murmured, his tone filled with quiet awe.
19:37Ji-yeon laughed lightly, brushing off the comment as he stepped out of Joon-ho's arms.
19:42And you haven't changed at all.
19:45You're still as steady as ever, catching me just in time.
19:49Joon-ho's lips curved into a soft smile.
19:52Some things don't change, I suppose.
19:56As they stood beneath the canopy of stars, the moment felt suspended in time.
20:02For Ji-yeon, it was a rare moment of joy amidst the chaos.
20:06For Joon-ho, it was the start of something stirring in his heart, something he had long
20:11since buried.
20:13Thanks for watching.
