I'm back.
Did you have a good trip?
With Your Highnesses gone,
it seemed all the world's lights had gone out.
Yes. It's good to see you again.
Thank you. I missed you guys too.
Yes, I missed you two as well.
What about us?
4!
Don't be such a drama queen.
You don't live that far from your parents
and it's normal for most married women.
I'm not most married women.
I'm only 18.
Right now, you're 3rd out of the top 3 women in our country.
You can't be clinging to your parents like a baby.
Should I get you a bottle?
Did they sing you a lullaby last night?
Don't talk to me like that.
Don't you ever miss His and Her Majesties?
Not at all. To the point where I think it's strange.
Is that so?
I thought we'd gotten close this past week,
but is his acting this way a sign that he knows I like him?
What's wrong with you?
What?
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
Oh, that.
You didn't get any sleep either that night, did you?
What do you mean "that night"?
As if you don't know.
I thought it was weird that you kept squirming.
Squirming? What are you talking about?
It's okay. I didn't sleep either.
What do you mean you didn't sleep?
Look. I'm at that peak age.
Peak... Age?
Well, at my age...
Whether she's pretty or not, if she's that close to me...
Something gets hot and bothered.
And it makes it hard to sleep.
What gets hot and bothered?
Why can't you fall asleep? All you need to do is sleep.
Forget it!
By the way, it seemed like you wanted to touch my back.
Here, go ahead.
Go away.
Touch it when I let you.
Don't attack me from behind.
When did I ever attack you?
I see you're not asleep yet.
Is it uncomfortable being here again?
No, everything's fine.
Then I will take my leave of you.
Good night.
For tomorrow's greeting,
will Your Highnesses be together...
Yes, well. I'll leave you now.
I'll just keep going...
Father, mother, daughter, son, everyone helped with household chores.
All of them?
Her father too?
Yes.
I've seen that on TV before but not in real life.
I had no idea such a thing existed.
Neither did I, Your Majesty.
The thing that left the biggest impression were the toothbrushes.
Toothbrushes?
Maybe it was because they used one bathroom but they were all touching.
Touching?
In the same cup. Instead of pulling rank,
they were like friends.
Friends.
Can family members be friends as well?
Not again.
I miss our Princess.
Stop it.
Dad, what are you doing? I'm hungry.
Am I just a cook to you?
Dad, you put the stew on to boil, right?
Stop talking to me.
The kitchen is closed today.
Yeah. Just yesterday the house was alive with noise and people.
Now that Chae Gyeong's gone, it feels empty.
It was her first time home in so long and we barely got to do anything.
No, you did well, dad.
Piggy got to eat those lettuce wraps they don't let her have.
Yeah, even the Crown Prince fell in love with your cooking.
He didn't fall in love...
You think?
Hold on a second. What's that smell?
Is something burning?
I just asked if you put the stew on to boil!
Why didn't you say something before?
You told me not to talk.
I ought to...
Your Highness, are you prepared for the award show?
- Yes, Your Majesty. / -
You must be His Majesty's shadow.
You cannot make any mistakes.
Yes, I understand.
If I think of his illness, I get very nervous and worried.
Please keep this in mind and act with respect.
Of course, Your Majesty.
Mom...
Your Highness, what kind of insolent talk was that?
Perhaps you became too comfortable while at the Crown Princess' house?
Please think about Prince Ui Seong and his mother, Hwa Yeong.
It seems as if nothing is happening.
But they can attack at any time, in any way.
Especially at a time like this, one must not neglect one's duties.
You are going to be King.
Shin. You're going to be King.
You can't act like a child.
Do not call me mom.
It's Your Majesty, okay?
You can't call me mom.
All eyes are on you. You cannot let your guard down for one second.
You cannot become like a commoner.
You're the heir to the throne.
Do you understand? You're special.
Hey. Something's wrong, isn't it? What's wrong?
No. It's nothing.
Come on. You look really down.
Hey! When you got hit with the egg, you wanted me to cheer you up, right?
Okay, here goes.
By special order! Make the Crown Prince laugh.
Step 1. Imitations.
Your Highness, please laugh.
You're the most handsome when you laugh.
Too much? I'll stick to what I'm good at.
Enter, Crown Prince!
Your Highness, you cannot do this.
Crown Princess. Your Highness.
Your Highness. Such insolence. Your Highness!
Your Highness! Crown Princess!
Your Highness.
You must begin your studies.
It is time to study the Analects of Confucius.
Okay.
One more lap.
Your Highness!
I want to see His Majesty.
I'm pooped.
Shin! I mean, Your Highness.
What are you doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be studying?
I'm on my way there now.
Your Highness, please excuse me
but you must think of your position.
The Crown Princess cannot be riding a bicycle around the palace grounds.
What?
Okay.
It's not fair. That means I can't ride it from now on.
Not like this you can't. What if it's for exercise?
Okay, then I'll ride it for exercise.
And what better place to ride a bike than inside the palace?
It is time for your studies now.
I will put your bicycle away.
Okay. Thank you.
You can ride it if you want.
No, Your Highness. I would not dare.
Your Highnesses. I will leave you now.
Goodbye.
Move, move! Get out of the way!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
What? Your Highness.
I have a favor to ask.
A favor? What is it?
From next week, the art majors are preparing for an art festival.
So we start classes later.
So?
So we don't need to leave for school at the same time anymore.
So you're saying you want your own car?
What? My own car?
I doubt a car for the Crown Princess is in this year's budget.
Forget it. Your Highness.
No, that's not what I meant!
Okay.
Yes, I see. I understand.
That won't be a problem at all.
Though he is the Crown Prince,
I am still his father-in-law.
I'll look into it.
It's no problem.
The phone's on fire today.
Hello?
Uncle. Yes, she left yesterday.
It was no trouble.
Tea?
Yes, I'm having some now.
Car?
Yes, well.
I could maybe put you in touch but...
No, but...
Hello?
Yes, I'm listening.
But phone taps...
Yes, next time. Yes...
Everyone has a favor to ask these days.
Hello.
Did you hurt your neck?
It's nothing, Your Highness.
A car has been sent for your private use.
What? Private use?
Yes, Your Highness. His Majesty ordered that the car he used to use
be given to you for your private use.
His Majesty's car?
Yes. He said you needed one.
What? Shin, I mean His Majesty?
Yes, Your Highness.
Crown Princess. Use this car from now on.
Pardon?
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's wrong? You don't like the car?
That's not it.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
May I ask you one thing?
How old is this car?
How old?
You want to know the car's age?
It's a '72 model so it will be 34 this year.
Wow, so it's 15 years older than me.
His Majesty has simple but good taste
and he took care of this car well.
It's just like a new car.
I see.
His Majesty was part of the "Use a Car for 10 Years" movement.
Wow! Really?
People and cars both need to move to stay young.
It acted up a little on the way because I rarely use it anymore.
It's like an old friend to me.
Please take good care of it.
Of course.
To tell you the truth, I was really surprised to see you drive.
I really like this car. I'll take good care of it.
Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Bow.
Who told you to wear that?
And are those wristbands?
Why is there a pencil in your hair? Get over here.
Hands in the air!
This is nuts!
All the kids are copying the Crown Princess' style!
Yes. You are now a fashion icon!
I dub thee fashion queen!
Oh, right! Ta-da!
Special edition postcard.
Your autograph please, Your Highness.
You really look like a Princess here.
Very cool.
Is this really you?
It's like you're becoming an entirely different person.
No, I'm the same.
Don't worry. Gang Hyeon! I'm not going to change.
Ding dong!
Unfair! You're wearing a padded bra!
Very thickly padded.
Bring her to the next meeting. She has a right to come now.
It's not that I didn't think to.
It just seems a bit too soon.
Too soon?
She does fine at public ceremonies.
Why, are you worried the other kids will make fun of her?
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Am I being too nice?
What are you doing?
Are you going to let anyone in the club now?
I'm going to start a protest.
No. No way.
She meets the requirements. Shin agreed to it too.
The decision's been made.
Really? Shin agreed?
Wow. He's losing it.
Seriously. He just went down a few notches.
Unbelievable.
What are you trying to do?
What do you mean?
I'm the club secretary.
It was an objective decision.
Have I told you about Camilla?
Camilla?
The woman who became Queen after waiting 35 years?
She's not the Queen yet. She's still the Crown Princess.
Whatever.
So?
Do you know what her secret was?
Becoming the family friend.
Family friend?
Yeah. She even suggested that Charles marry Diana.
She helped Diana adjust to palace life and got close to her.
She gave Diana advice about Charles.
And went horse riding with her.
Don't you think it'll be fun?
(The biggest piece of sky is always behind him)
What happened?
We cannot find him.
I'm certain he was in the study.
Where did he disappear to?
What are you doing? Find him.
Yes, sir.
How could this happen?
Has he learned how to disappear?
One second.
That's weird. Where did he go?
Did he go underground or fly away?
Shin. Hey, Shin.
Where are you? He's good at hiding.
What's this? A ladder?
This is new.
Hey! How'd you get up here?
Didn't you see at my house? We have an attic too.
"Royalty must not show bare feet."
Can I ask you something?
It hasn't been long since I came here but I have so many questions.
How come you have so many secrets?
What's with the teddy bear?
It's all old and tattered. Aren't you a little old for that?
Alfred?
What? What fred?
Your Highness! Your Highness!
My mouth itches.
Your Highness!
His Highness is right here.
What are you doing?
Okay, I won't say anything.
Hey, over here! He's right here!
What are you doing? Okay, next move.
Come on, keep going!
Turn off the phone.
It's Hyo Rin.
Okay, let's do that then.
The Crown Princess is with you, right? Put her on.
The Crown Princess?
She wants to talk to you.
Hello?
Hey, it's me. Hyo Rin.
I wanted to tell you about next week's meeting.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Why don't you take a few lessons first?
There's an instructor there.
Okay. I'll help you out. Don't worry.
Since when was she so close to the Ugly Duckling?
Hello?
Yeah.
Yeah. It's okay.
Just tell me.
Okay, got it.
(Princess Hours)
Thanks for coming.
I like riding horses.
I know what you want.
What do you mean?
What I want? What are you talking about?
I'm just saying I want the same thing.
You're second in line to the throne.
Shin is unhappy.
It's probably hard trying to be what he's not.
Not to mention being forced to marry.
If he's not Crown Prince anymore,
the marriage becomes pointless.
He can't get out of it now because of the position he's in.
That's why you have to help me.
You're not stealing his place.
You'll be helping him.
I think I understand but...
I doubt he'll leave of his own accord.
What?
We'll talk later.
The royal couple's here.
Long time no see.
You're more beautiful every time, Your Highness.
Hey, doesn't she look sexy today?
Wonder who she's trying to impress.
Impress! Who?
It was picked out for me!
Too bad.
Too bad? Why?
You don't think I dressed like this for you?
Do you? That's silly.
Hey.
You're here.
It's been a while since I saw you this close.
You've changed a lot.
You don't even say hi sometimes.
And you're cold when I call.
You've changed.
Should've married me when I asked.
Do you regret it now?
She's had a tough time since becoming the Crown Princess.
It's better off this way.
You should be thankful.
Why are they like that?
They just stare at each other without talking.
I wouldn't expect much from Shin.
You'll just get hurt.
He may be nice at times.
But Hyo Rin is the one he really likes.
He'll never look at you that way.
His heart is already somewhere else.
I prefer Hyo Rin.
The Crown Princess has improved but she's still lacking.
It's a done deal though.
They're married. Hyo Rin's being selfish.
I heard the Crown Prince proposed.
Hyo Rin was the one who rejected him.
Where did you hear that?
Anyway, it's obvious what she's trying to do.
I would give it up if I were her.
Really? Even if you could've been Crown Princess?
That's true. Rich as she is, it can't compare.
No matter how nice she acts it's obvious she's a scheming witch.
It makes it even worse.
Do you have time tomorrow?
Let's play Gyeokgu.
Okay.
Your Majesty, Hwa Yeong has come to see Her Majesty.
Hwa Yeong?
In any case, how is His Majesty's health?
He's doing much better.
Thank goodness. What was the problem?
Vertigo.
He was experiencing dizziness.
I see. He should take care not to overexert himself.
Exactly.
He still stays up late working. He works too hard.
It's no use telling him to stop.
King Se Jong became ill because he worked too hard
but he said he needed to work in order to get well.
Yes, I remember hearing that.
The Queen must be very worried.
Yes, night and day she roams the palace checking on things.
It appears the Crown Prince taught her well.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, nice shot.
Your form has improved, Your Majesty.
Really?
It must be the yoga.
With just a few simple moves, I feel so much healthier.
Hwa Yeong was also sick but yoga helped her to heal.
Not only her health but look at her body.
She looks like she's in her 20s.
Sorry, I'm still trying to get the hang of it.
In the Joseon Dynasty, this was used as a test in the military.
If you played like that...
You'd fail.
Alright already.
Right back at you!
What did you say?
It's something Chae Gyeong taught me.
Did I use it wrong?
I was thinking it would be good for all the women to learn some yoga.
What do you think?
My apologies, Your Majesty.
With His Majesty's new prescription,
I will be busy preparing his medicine. I will probably not have time.
That's true.
Your Majesty.
I have something to say about Hwa Yeong staying here.
Yes, go ahead?
I think her attire does not fit well with the palace
and yoga may present an atmosphere that does not fit well either.
Is that so?
Gyeokgu, for instance, is something enjoyed by both royalty and civilians.
To prevent being too absorbed in it,
it was suggested he study classics and meditate on their meanings.
Gradually, he was able to become the man he is today.
That's true.
I'll keep that in mind.
Anything extreme is the same as being insane.
Your Highness! Are you okay?
Yul! Are you okay? He's bleeding!
Does it hurt? Oh, no.
I'm okay.
Are you okay?
Okay.
I'm okay, you should go see if Shin's okay.
He has plenty of people there.
What was up at school?
It was so awkward.
I guess Cinderella and her Prince looked too happy.
You looked so sad.
I think that's why I came racing to you first.
What's wrong?
No. Not him.
Once, a guy planted an oak tree in a wasteland.
He planted one tree every year, until one day, it was a forest.
Wow, that's cool.
It means small things can change the world and make it beautiful.
Shin!
Your Highness, are you in?
He was mad cute when he was young.
He's so cute!
It's been around a while.
What is this place?
What in the world?
It looks like a butcher shop.
Woah. Sheesh.
You scared me.
Are you okay? Did you get hurt too?
You're hurt! Does it hurt a lot?
Who said you could come in here?
I knocked but no one answered.
And it was open.
Get out!
Are you deaf?
I said get out!
Award recipient Ko Yeong Bok, please come to the front.
The above person is awarded the award for excellence in national song.
Inhwa Year 14, February. The King of Korea.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Good luck with your songwriting. - Thank you.
Next is calligraphy...
Your Majesty.
How can he ignore the doctor's orders?
He needs rest to get better. No excuses.
He must have let down his guard because he's been feeling better.
How worrisome.
With his condition the way it is, the formal visit to Thailand..
Wouldn't it be better to send the Crown Prince in his stead?
Have you asked the King what he thinks?
Yes, he agrees that would be best.
There is one problem however.
Prince William is coming to Korea for his turn to observe our royal customs.
Really?
And?
While he is here, we must send a welcoming party to greet him
but there is no one suitable.
And with His Majesty ill...
I see.
What should we do?
What about Prince Ui Seong?
He lived in England, so language will not be a problem.
That is true but it hasn't been long since he returned to Korea.
That's true.
How is the Crown Princess' English?
My apologies, Your Majesty.
It will be impossible for her to meet foreigners.
Well, then.
It would've been perfect if she could have received him.
It would be a catastrophe if she doesn't know English though.
This is why I wanted him to marry an accomplished girl from a good school.
The Queen Dowager wants Prince Ui Seong to take care of it.
Prince Ui Seong?
This dizziness.
I thought I was better but it suddenly hit again.
I don't know my own body anymore.
I won't be able to make trips abroad.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You've been by my side all this time.
I don't think you will have problems.
Prepare to visit Thailand with the Crown Princess.
Me too?
(Dear friends, I'm going on a trip. Aren't you jealous?)
I think it would be unwise to travel with the Crown Princess.
Hey! Why not?
She missed classes because of her training.
It will be difficult.
Really?
A student must be diligent in her studies.
I think...
My homeroom teach and I are really tight.
If I just talk her up...
I mean, if I just ask the teach the right way...
Teach?
What's that?
And how are you arranging the Thailand visit and Prince William's visit?
The decision isn't finalized yet.
For now, His Highness will go to Thailand
and you should study.
Okay...
Have a good trip.
And I'm really sorry.
I'll leave first.
Yes, Your Highness.
(Princess Hours)
- Prince William is your friend? - He's like my older brother.
- Brother? - Brother!
Brother!
- Am I really nothing to you now? - Why are you being like this?
I was never officially your girlfriend.
I like Shin.
He's always around and we talk when we see each other.
But if I met you first,
I probably would have had a crush on you.
