Your Highness.
Crown Princess, the Queen Dowager has asked that you come see her.
Right now?
Come in, Crown Princess.
Even though we're here for just a short while,
being outside the palace is refreshing, don't you think?
Yes, I feel the same way, Your Majesty.
So I was thinking the three of us should go for a ride by ourselves.
The Crown Prince found a car for us.
What better chance is there?
But Your Majesty, according to palace laws...
Laws are of no importance in this situation.
I see Her Majesty has trained you well if you are speaking of palace laws.
The truth is, if there is security in knowing you won't get caught,
there's nothing sweeter than the feeling you get from breaking the rules.
Then does that mean Your Majesty has broken the rules before?
Don't ask so many questions.
So how about it, Crown Princess?
Your Majesty, you can't sing it like an opera.
- It's a fox trot song. - Oh, that's right.
Your Majesty, not like that.
You have the feeling, now sing it sweetly.
You try it.
It doesn't sound that great when you do it either.
How nice it would be to see the cute tricks of a grandchild right now.
- Grandchild? - Yes.
He used to dance so cutely for me when he was young.
It was so nice then.
He was so good at dancing back then.
Your Majesty, please.
Oh, well.
♪ The farmer sows his seeds ♪
The farmer sows his seeds?
Your Majesty, I can't do this. I don't want to do this.
I'll try it with him.
I think I've heard it before.
The farmer sows his seeds...
What are you doing? Start!
♪ The farmer sows his seeds and covers them with dirt ♪
♪ He claps his hands ♪
♪ And his friends wait ♪
♪ One person come out, come and dance with us ♪
Come out!
Me too?
Start!
Your Majesty!
- I feel dizzy. - Your Majesty!
King Seong Jo, you come too.
We went to the teddy bear museum.
And saw all of Alfredo's friends.
There were bears that were even more worn and furless than him.
I've always been curious.
But it suddenly came to mind again.
Why does someone like you keep Alfredo around all the time?
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
King Seong Jo gave it to me when I was 5.
King Seong Jo?
He said Queen Elizabeth gave it to him to give to his grandson.
I don't know if he was telling the truth, though.
Why wouldn't he be?
It doesn't matter either way.
He's still special to me.
When I was 5, Yul's dad passed away,
my family moved into the palace.
And I became next in line to be Crown Prince.
The King must've felt bad for me.
He came to me with Alfredo and said...
"Shin, he is going to be your good friend."
We've been together since.
When I talk to him, everything makes sense.
I even learn things about myself that I didn't know before.
He must really be lonely.
It's like Alfredo is his only friend.
I'm sorry.
I don't have any secrets.
The entire world knows everything about me.
Even if it's small
I want something that's just for myself.
I guess Hyo Rin is something that's hard to talk about right now, huh?
Then how about this?
Are you really going to give up being Crown Prince?
I'm not so stupid that I'd joke about something like that.
Don't quit.
I think there's no one better than you for the role.
During ceremonies,
seeing you smiling the entire time really impressed me.
It made me wonder about what you have to do to be Crown Prince.
Anyone can do that.
And in 2 or 3 years, we're going to be a lot closer.
Even if we become strangers,
if you're Crown Prince, I can watch you on TV.
Were you always so heartless?
If we separated, you would cut off all ties and check on me through the TV?
That's too bad, because I can't let you do that.
What did you think would happen?
What?
By then, everyone would have left me. I need you around at least.
I'll be bored!
And if I'm not Crown Prince, I'll have nothing to do.
Why can't we move?
I think we need to call somebody.
No. Let's try it ourselves.
Be careful, Your Majesty.
What use is a car if it doesn't work?
How could you let this happen?
Anyone can make a mistake.
You're not just anyone. Why do I even bother?
Stop talking like that in front of Her Majesty.
Your Majesty, I'm right, aren't I?
Honestly? He made a mistake.
Do you think he recognized us?
Of course not, Your Majesty.
How could he not? Everyone knows us.
If he did, we're in big trouble.
Really?
Never mind, I don't think he did.
Yeah, look at the way we're dressed.
He might've recognized her because she's kind of funny looking.
- Whatever! Look who's talking! - Forget it.
Oh, my goodness!
How in the world could this happen?
What do we do?
Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Highness. Are you okay?
Are you hurt anywhere?
Don't worry. I was the one who wanted to go out.
And just as a precaution in case other people get hurt,
we cannot let news of this incident get out. Make sure of this.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
(Princess Hours)
- See you later. - Okay. Good luck.
Oh, right! Did you hear about Min Hyo Rin?
Hyo Rin? Why?
Her and the Crown Prince are, you know, like that.
That's messed up.
She has no shame.
She pretends to be nice but she's really scheming to steal your man.
Seriously.
She can't even dance.
It's only because she's the teacher's pet.
Yeah, you can smell the money.
Remember when she went to Thailand? I hear she paid off everyone then too.
She is unbelievable.
And she has the nerve to go after the Crown Prince?
I know.
Next is this matter.
How should we handle this?
Look over it
and if you think it seems fine, sign it.
Your Highness, the Crown Prince is working in His Majesty's stead now.
I just have to ask Shin something.
It's not urgent. Carry on.
Wait a second.
Would you mind leaving us for a minute?
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's this?
This would be great for cracking open walnuts.
What do you want now?
Why were you so mad when we were at Jeju Island?
Was it because you felt sorry?
You don't know how to apologize.
Is that why you got angry?
If that's why you came here, then stop bothering me and go away.
You never answered me about Hyo Rin's letter to you.
Don't be hurt.
Because of a letter like that.
Do you really get bored when I'm not around?
It feels like something's missing.
Mom.
- Were you looking for me? - Yes.
You're a Prince who is second in line to the throne.
You are responsible for taking over when the Crown Prince isn't here.
What were you thinking, leaving the palace without permission?
Why do you think I chose this place over fancier, more comfortable ones?
When a tiger hunts, it lowers itself,
just like we're doing now.
You are the future King.
Don't act recklessly again in the future.
Do you understand?
Yes. I understand.
It has to be uncomfortable in that old place.
Lady Hwa Yeong is admirable.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty but her title is no longer "Lady."
It slipped my mind again.
I shouldn't call her Lady Hwa Yeong anymore. She is Queen now, isn't she?
Your Majesty, you are disappointed by the title-giving, aren't you?
Not at all, Your Majesty.
I know. I understand.
But it wasn't for Queen Hwa Yeong and Prince Ui Seong.
It was the only present I could give the son who left before me.
Please try to understand.
Of course, Your Majesty.
She lived a lonely life for 14 years.
Though it's hard, try to be loving to her.
Yes, Your Majesty.
That's not fair! Leaving without me...
Take me too!
Shin Chae Jun! Do you think I'm going to the palace to play?
Yes. You're going to play.
Hey, what do mean play?
The King is your mother's customer.
He's ill, so she has to go see to him.
Fine. Then what about you? Why are you going?
Me? Well, I...
Yeah, I don't understand why you have to tag along.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to take care of things!
- What things? - What things?
Warranty!
We sent our daughter to them. We have to check on her.
The insurance is effective 90 days after registering.
If you'd been a day early...
It's fine.
Fine? It's such a shame.
Really, it is. It's only a one-day difference.
You must be worried sick over His Majesty.
Thank you for your concern.
We should've come earlier. And now...
I just signed you up and didn't check on things.
I brought a few gifts.
It's fine. You don't need to...
No, no. It may not look like much but it's very useful.
This one...
What do you use that for?
This is an automatic eyeglass cleaner.
Put the glasses here, pour in a little cleaning fluid
close the lid and the glasses are cleaned.
This is a reading light.
Just clip it on and you can read.
Do you know what this is?
It's a flashlight that doesn't need batteries.
It's good for exercising.
We will cater to your every need and desire!
We'll always take care of you.
Excuse me, I have to take calls from customers.
Hello, valued customer. This is Lee Sun Rye.
How can I help you?
One moment please.
It's another call.
Hello, valued customer. This is Lee Sun Rye.
How can I help you?
Have you found a job yet?
No. I'm very satisfied with the work I do at home.
If you don't take pride in it, it makes things much more difficult.
I see.
That's the way housework is. Clean. Fix. Oil.
It never ends but I just think, "There's no one but me,"
and each day passes with a sense of fulfillment.
It's so nice to see the way you are so at peace with each other, isn't it?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Our Chae Gyeong, I mean the Crown Princess?
Lady Park.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Where is the Crown Princess right now?
Her Highness is studying under Lady Choi right now, Your Majesty.
Tell her to stop by and see her parents.
Oh, no, Your Majesty.
If she's studying, we'll just leave.
I have many clients to see because I'm a 1 Million Dollar Club member.
Yes, but... We came all the way here and I miss her.
Let's go.
Well, I'll take responsibility for Her Highness' warranty.
If I find anything else you might like, I'll make sure to bring it by.
Thank you, take care.
How many times must I say this?
Didn't I say Her Highness is studying now?
Did you not understand my words?
Queen Hwa Yeong has ordered her to come by.
Lady Kwak!
Why is Queen Dowager's aide working for Queen Hwa Yeong?
You have no idea what's going on in the palace, do you?
The Queen Dowager ordered me to serve Queen Hwa Yeong from now on.
Leave us.
This time has been mandated by Her Majesty the Queen.
I'm just relaying the orders from Queen Hwa Yeong, who is of higher rank.
What? What did you just say?
Why has your speech become so short and terse?
Queen Hwa Yeong ordered it.
She said not to use the old speech unless we are in front of royalty.
She also told us not to use "humble servant" anymore.
You can't change tradition in a day!
How could someone who served the Queen Dowager not know that?
What? Lady Choi?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Follow me.
Crown Princess,
how long have you been at the palace? Why are you still studying?
Your Majesty, the Crown Princess...
I did not ask you, Lady Choi!
Crown Princess, what have you been studying?
The Book of Filial Duty and...
The Analects of Confucius!
Why is it taking you so long to tell me what you yourself studied?
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
Her Highness has also studied the Nine Chinese Classics and the Book of Odes.
Is that so?
Then tell me what the following means.
What? Well...
Crown Princess. How is it that you do not know such a simple statement.
I remember now!
Filial duty is the root and enlightenment its fruit.
Good job, Your Highness.
Yes. That's correct.
I'm going to test the Crown Princess to make sure she hasn't been lazy.
Crown Princess' attending ladies, bring me all her books.
All of them?
What are you doing? Did you not hear Her Majesty?
Yes, Your Majesty. As you wish.
These are heavy.
Do you think Her Highness remembers everything from here?
I don't know. Stop talking!
Move!
Oh, no. Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Please forgive us, we couldn't see...
Here, let me help you.
No. We can do it.
Where are you taking all these books?
Her Majesty is making ridiculous demands of the Crown Princess.
Hey!
How are your community service activities going?
Well, I'm still a student
and I still have a lot to learn.
Crown Princess!
It's been how long and you're still just studying?
I... You see, I'm still a student...
You will not be a student forever.
You must take responsibility as Crown Princess.
What can you do, sitting in your room, reading books?
You must realize what your priorities are.
Your Highness.
Leave us.
Your Majesty, it is not right to scold Her Highness in front of the ladies.
You...
Yul...
You should take care to learn what is acceptable palace behavior.
Let's go, Chae Gyeong.
Hey!
Don't worry too much about it.
It's okay. She's right.
What's this though? It doesn't look like a guitar.
It's a mandolin.
A mandolin?
The sound is so delicate.
Excuse me, where is the art department office?
It's on the 2nd floor in the next building.
Right back at you!
I like Shin...
I've fallen for him.
It hurts...
Mom, rub my tummy.
Mommy. Mom!
As long as I can make you laugh,
I'll always be by your side.
Don't forget.
What? Queen Hye Jeong?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Lady Choi, speak!
Yes, Your Majesty.
She criticized Her Highness harshly for not volunteering.
So now she's going to involve herself directly with the Crown Princess.
I know what you're up to now.
Lady Choi, report to me all she says.
As you wish, Your Majesty.
No, I need to see her right now.
I would appreciate if you left the Crown Princess to me.
Let the mother-in-law deal with the daughter-in-law, is that it?
She may be your daughter-in-law but she is mine as well.
Am I mistaken?
Do you think I am pulling rank? Is that it?
What are you talking about?
I don't think I pulled rank on you 14 years ago.
It's true that King Seong Jo favored me when I was Crown Princess.
When you first came, I remember treating you very kindly.
I was the one who told the King
that you would learn and do well.
But when I was forced out by palace law, what did you do?
There was nothing I could do.
Life is a constant struggle, as can be seen from our circumstances.
It may appear that many things have changed
but much is the same.
Yes, thank you, Mr. Park.
Yes.
Thank you for the article.
I did nothing.
It was all your hard work.
I hope we will continue to work together.
Yes.
So that was where all the bad press about the Crown Prince came from?
I'm afraid so, Your Majesty.
Follow me.
I heard rumors but I had no idea it would reach this point.
What to do?
Rumors always start more rumors.
Is there nothing we can do?
Forgive my forwardness
but I think it best for the couple to share a room.
The Queen Dowager has brought that up before.
Share a room...
Shin.
What's with him?
He teases me when in a good mood and ignores me otherwise.
He's like Jekyll and Hyde.
You're up.
Hye Myeong!
It's very frustrating not being able to read all day.
Where's the paper?
Father!
Okay.
I forgot you're a good girl who listens to her mother.
A book is probably better than a newspaper.
We've managed to quiet the press.
However, we cannot block whatever goes out through the internet.
All we can do is watch?
This must have continued after the Thailand scandal.
My apologies, Your Majesty.
What if we held a press conference to explain things then?
If we handle this the wrong way,
it could turn the citizens against us.
Really? We can't have that.
Forgive me,
but it would be best if you left this matter to us.
It is easy to access things online but people lose interest quickly.
The rumors will disappear with time, Your Majesty.
Do you really think so?
That would be nice.
Moreover...
This has brought something else to your humble servant's attention.
Please speak.
What if you were to have a grandchild, Your Majesty?
You mean the next heir?
Yes, Your Majesty.
But the Crown Prince and Princess are still very young.
The members of the Royal Family tend to do things at younger ages.
Not only is the King ill
but on Jeju Island,
the two were like good friends, not a married couple.
Let's stir up some trouble, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty? Trouble?
It's time to put them in one room.
I do want to see the next heir.
What does everyone else think?
I agree, Your Majesty.
But, Your Majesty.
You had Hye Myeong the year you married.
They are far behind you.
Therefore, I don't want to hear any more objections from you.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Now then, it's decided.
Let's get everything ready.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's this?
The Queen Dowager ordered this especially for you.
I still want to know what it is before I drink it.
It's good for you.
Don't ask, Your Highness. Just drink it.
You're acting strangely today.
That tickles, it tickles.
Your Highness, we will make you pretty.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
We have good reason to, Your Highness.
What's going on?
We are under orders to tell no one. We're sorry.
That's just great.
Your Highness, tonight you are to sleep in a different place.
Why? Like where?
I'm afraid we don't know anything further.
Why?
This is really annoying.
Now that it's all over the internet,
I bet they're shaking.
It's not dying down as quickly as I thought it would.
Do you think I would let it? Not a chance.
Seeing as how they're hurrying to make them share a room, it's working.
Share a room?
Yes, it's going to be tonight.
- Tonight? - Yes.
They're trying to secure things by bearing the next heir.
They'll soon learn they don't have that much time.
Is a foreigner coming to visit?
What's with these clothes?
Your Highness, I suppose you can call it that.
Please wait a minute.
I feel like I've seen this place before.
No, it can't be!
Why am I being called here now, in these clothes?
Is there a guest?
What are you doing here?
What are you wearing?
Is it locked?
Are we locked in here?
This is going to be my one and only wedding night?
This is crazy.
The floor feels like ice.
What?
Who thought of this?
This is so immature.
At least there's an electric blanket.
What the... It's only for 1 person.
What? What is going on?
They really went all out.
They've gone through a lot of trouble to get us closer.
I guess it is like the wedding night
since we have to sleep close together.
I need to go to the bathroom!
Open the door! I have to go! Really!
Shin wouldn't touch a girl he doesn't even like. He's too picky.
No. Still, what if?
What's this?
Please go back in, Your Highness.
Get out of my way. How dare you block my path?
Her Majesty ordered that you be blocked from going anywhere tonight.
- Queen Hwa Yeong? - Yes.
- Well, I'm leaving, so move. - I'm sorry, Your Highness.
- I said, move! - I'm sorry.
This is not for you to meddle in.
I don't like it either
but if you get involved, things could get worse.
Don't even think about coming out tonight.
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
It's not like we haven't done this before.
- Let's sleep before we freeze. - But...
You wouldn't sleep on the ice-cold floor by yourself, would you?
Tonight's supposed to be really cold.
Are you scared?
That I might try something?
It's not that.
Do you think I'm an animal? I wouldn't touch a girl like you.
You're supposed to spend your wedding night with the person you love.
What?
So?
That's not us...
Whatever. Freeze to death then.
Get in here already. Aren't you cold sitting there?
- I'm okay. - You're not okay.
Your hands are freezing.
Stop being stubborn and get in.
I don't want to wake up to a frozen wife.
Actually...
Now what?
I don't know how to take this off.
How can I sleep with this on? The weight is killing me.
Oh, right. Come here.
No!
Come here!
No!
Sit still.
I've been waiting for this for so long.
Come here, okay?
Hey, we can't do this.
Hey!
I can't take it anymore.
No! No!
- I'm not a boy anymore! - No, no!
No, no, no, oh, okay, okay.
Okay.
What are you doing with your eyes closed?
What? Oh, I must've fallen asleep.
Are you done yet?
Hold still a sec.
That hurts! Do it gently.
No, that's not it.
Oh, got it!
Hold still! One, two!
It really feels like a wedding night.
You want me to help you with that?
What?
I mean on television, that's how it goes.
Take off the hair thing, undo the ribbon...
- Take off the clothes, shut the lights. - Be quiet!
Take it off and get in!
Take off my clothes?
No!
I don't want that itchy material to touch me.
Roll, roll, roll.
Stop rolling! Take it off!
No!
If you don't, I will!
Why would you take it off?
Take it off!
I don't want to!
Stop it! Hey!
He's being very aggressive.
He ate a special brew before too.
At his age? They're going to be up all night.
So picky.
Wrong. Wrong!
This is so wrong!
Can I ask you something?
Now what?
What I asked you before.
Why do you like Hyo Rin?
That's private.
I know but I'm curious.
Hyo Rin... And I are alike.
We're both lonely and trapped.
You don't like me because I'm not like you.
What's wrong?
Forget it.
Since we're stuck here, should we just do as they want?
They even got us a room. Don't you think so?
Stop playing.
What if I'm being serious?
After we break up, when you find someone you like,
do what you want.
You don't seem to realize guys aren't like girls.
I don't need to like you.
Are you going to keep this up? Do you want to die?
This is because of you.
If you tried to act like we were getting along...
It wouldn't have come to this! It's your fault!
How is it my fault?
How can anyone get along with a jerk like you?
All you do is tease and make me miserable.
What am I supposed to do?
King of all jerks!
I ought to...
Are you doing aerobics?
Are you blind? I'm exercising.
It's better than arguing with you.
I'll be able to sleep better.
Really? Are you getting sleepy? Let me try it too then.
One, two! Two, three!
Two, three, four, five, six! Ride the bike!
I'll get over this!
What are you doing?
That hurts! Be nice!
I didn't even touch you! Hold still, even if it hurts.
It hurts even if you're not touching me.
I said hold still.
It still hurts though! Gently!
I told you to do it gently!
With your arms, I bet you could go into wrestling.
One more.
Gently! Gently.
Gently! Gently! I said gently! Just you wait. Let's go again.
Ready?
That's cheating!
- Sorry, I don't know my own strength. - You hit my eye.
Did I get your eye?
Let me see. Here? Here?
What's wrong with you?
Are you okay?
You shouldn't have made me mad.
I was just playing.
What?
I was curious how you'd react.
Why would I go after you?
Yeah, I didn't think you were so low as to go for a girl you don't even like.
You still scared me though!
Try it again and you're dead.
I don't dislike you.
Why do you think that?
It's not that I dislike you, I'm just being careful.
I just...
If we meet each other in the street after we break up,
I want us to be able to say hi without it being awkward.
For that to happen, I have to watch how I act now, don't I?
I guess that's easy for you.
I can't do that though.
When I think about running into you, I don't feel good.
Let's go to sleep.
We're stuck here tonight anyway.
