That hurts!
I want cuttlefish.
Congratulations.
For what?
You're no longer a caged Prince.
You are a human who can feel the wind.
Where are we?
It's the summer palace.
Summer palace?
It's where the Royal Family goes on vacation in the summer.
It seems like fun.
Your Highness, it's such an honor!
But you've come without any warning.
Have you been well?
Yes, Your Highness.
And this must be the Crown Princess.
I humbly make your acquaintance.
Hello, sir.
We'd like to stay for the night. Is that okay?
Of course, Your Highness.
I will go prepare your quarters.
Wow.
- Hey! - What?
Aren't you hungry? Let's eat.
- Eat? - Yeah.
I made you instant noodles when you came over last time.
You said you were a Boy Scout. You should know how to make something.
I guess I can.
Let's eat then. Now! I'm hungry.
Okay, we'll eat. Just watch for a second.
- What? - Isn't the view great?
All I see is food.
Let's eat!
Food, food. I want food. Let's eat.
What are you buying that for?
Radishes!
Onions are good for you.
Put it back.
Hey, they sell your legs!
Wait a second, just this.
Oh, no!
Yes, that's right.
- Hey, we have to buy that. - Why?
Toothbrushes!
Toothbrushes... Seaweed.
No, not that.
Why not?
We're not buying all this.
Hey! You're driving me crazy!
Go get some sausages.
Tastes good!
Hey, will you...
- Wow, it's cold. - Come on!
That tastes good.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Did you really bring me here to show me the sunrise?
You're not acting yourself. It's weird.
This isn't... a farewell trip, is it?
What?
Why would you think that?
Well, because of what you said before... And Hyo Rin...
Don't let anything about Hyo Rin bother you anymore.
I have no intention of going on a farewell trip with you.
I guess the idea of it is kind of strange, huh?
It's a little undercooked but it tastes so good.
Let's grow old together. How about it?
Shin, I didn't do it on purpose. Oh no.
You're probably the only person to ever spray food on the Crown Prince.
Sorry.
Sometimes I want to let you go,
and other times I'd rather die than do that.
So until I can make my heart decide to let you go,
let's grow old together.
Why, are you worried you might get bored?
No. I like being with you.
It looks like it's too cloudy to see the sunrise.
I guess we'll just have to come back another time.
When I look at your expressions,
you seem more lonely and sad than me.
That's why, one day...
I just started liking you.
Wow, you can control the computer with a remote control too?
Everything in the palace is automatic.
The secret door is automatic and the computer is automatic...
Stay still and watch.
I hope it turned out well.
I practiced that pose, you know.
There it is, there it is.
You can see how pretty I look too, mister.
Yes, Your Highness.
Hey! When did you take that one? You took it secretly, didn't you?
It's kind of cute.
Look at that expression!
I make a good model, don't I?
You look weird.
Your face is huge! Mine's this little but yours is huge.
- Hold still a second. - Fine.
Hey! What's that?
Shin! I can't believe you!
You're trying to embarrass me in front of Advisor Gong, aren't you?
Don't laugh!
- It turned out well. - It's dad!
Dad!
Chae Gyeong! Hey!
It's the same as if I bought it.
Your mother is quite the salesperson.
- Give it! - Yes.
We didn't give you a wedding present yet,
so we're shelling out!
Your mother knows when to spend a little money.
There was that accident with the last car, so...
This one is a lot better than the one Her Majesty gave you, so be careful!
Hey, Piggy. Don't wreck the car.
As soon as I get my license, it's mine.
- So don't mess it up! - Give it!
Hey, Chae Gyeong!
First, be careful. Second, be careful.
Third, be careful again!
Okay?
I miss you, Chae Gyeong. Okay.
Hey, Piggy! You heard me, right? Don't forget!
Your Majesty, I hope you haven't been straining yourself since your return.
It would be nice if the Crown Prince helped me now and then.
When you weren't here, I believe he did a very good job.
Why don't you trust in him and leave things to him?
It's hard for me to trust him lately.
Your Majesty, he is still young and in need of protection and guidance.
There is no better time to teach him and help him stay on course.
There has been much negative talk about him since the fight.
We represent history and tradition and bring peace to the people's minds.
If not for the people, we would have disappeared long ago.
The Crown Prince's role is so crucial at a time like this, but...
Your Majesty, please watch over him with a generous and open mind.
I will do all that I can to help as well.
Your Majesty, Prince Ui Seong has arrived.
Prince Ui Seong?
Bring him in.
Come in, Prince Ui Seong.
Is everything well?
I have something to tell you, Your Majesty.
Yes?
Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now.
I wanted to talk about the cultural assets that were secretly brought in.
How admirable.
You've been thinking over what the Crown Prince should have been.
Did you run away too?
How did you get here?
Oh!
Whoa.
Look at this.
What is it?
Who does she think she is? What a loser.
It's the same as it always was.
Since sophomore year, we used to meet up secretly, remember?
Do you remember what happened in Thailand?
You may not want to remember
but I was really happy then.
Riding around in that rickshaw,
running into the guest house to get away from the paparazzi...
I'll never forget it.
I was always a shadow of a friend to you.
That was the only time I felt real.
Thank you.
Let me ask you one thing.
Do you really like her?
I think I do like her.
Do you want to get married?
What?
Didn't you hear me?
I'm proposing to you.
It's better than marrying someone I don't know. Besides, we're friends.
I think I do like her.
Hey!
Happy-go-lucky!
I bet that hurt.
What are you doing?
- Did you take a picture? - Hey, look at this.
Hey! Come on!
Huh?
- What? - Never mind.
You took a picture of me, didn't you?
- Why would I do that? - I heard it click.
Let me see. Let me check.
Hey! Hey!
It's Hyo Rin! She's in trouble!
What's wrong with her? What happened?
She took some pills.
- What? - In the bathroom!
Oh, no!
No.
Hey, hey, Hyo Rin.
Get out of the way!
Hyo Rin!
I want to see too. What's going on?
I can't believe this.
What?
Really?
How?
Keep it down.
- Move! - Do you think she'll be okay?
Shouldn't you go see her?
Hey, you're up.
My uncle is the director of this hospital.
Move me into a different room.
My family can't afford this.
Don't be like that, Hyo Rin. It's okay.
Don't worry about the bills. I'll take care of it.
Since when did you know?
From the beginning.
Hyo Rin, you need to stop now. You're just going to get hurt.
Do you think Shin is going to come back to you?
Stop waiting for him.
If he was going to, he already would have a long time ago.
It's his fault you're like this but I haven't seen him even once.
You have to get up and do ballet again.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
I've never seen her in such deep thought before.
Was it because of me?
I was shocked too.
I never imagined Hyo Rin could do something like that.
Yul.
Why do you think Hyo Rin did that?
Do you think it might be because of me?
If I didn't get between those two,
she might never have done this.
Do you think it was because of Shin?
I can understand how she feels.
In her head, she knows she should give up. That she should stop.
But the more she tries, the stronger her feelings grow.
Still, did she have to go that far?
Chae Gyeong...
Yeah?
The person beside Shin
should be Hyo Rin.
What are you saying?
It was her place to start with.
While Shin is Crown Prince, he won't be able to divorce you.
You need to let him go first.
But Shin likes me too.
He may have opened his heart to you...
But he felt more deeply for Hyo Rin.
In the end, he's going to go back to her.
But... He's married to me.
If we divorce, it might make things harder on Shin.
That's his choice.
Look how much he's struggling with the memory of having loved her.
Now might be the time for everyone to go back to their original places.
The places where we were in the beginning.
Who is this person?
He is a newspaper editor who was friends with Crown Prince Su.
Queen Hwa Yeong has been meeting with him frequently since she came back.
I believe the stories about her volunteer work were written by him.
Really?
Then the Thai gossip columns could be tied to this person as well.
That's correct, Your Majesty.
Though we are looking into the Thai paparazzi to secure evidence but
the way things are going,
it seems someone has gotten to them first.
I'm not surprised.
Find out how this girl is related to Lady Hwa Yeong.
Yes, Your Highness.
It is so difficult to know a person's heart.
That she would do anything to achieve her desires...
If something else happens with this girl,
it could be the end for Shin.
Advisor Gong, please keep watch over this matter.
Yes. Of course, Your Majesty.
Lady Choi, you're so pretty. I bet you had a lot of boyfriends.
So I was wondering...
Yes, Your Highness?
So, I have this friend. Not me. My friend.
Hui Sung. She's having some problems.
She likes this guy,
but she doesn't know if he likes her or not.
She thinks she might know, but...
Anyway, that guy used to be in love with this other girl.
That girl can't forget him though and is having a hard time because of it.
She doesn't know if he feels the same way though.
So in that case, should Hui Sung give up...
No, let him go to that girl?
Does Your Highness' friend sincerely like that guy?
Of course! No doubt...
Well, probably.
Your Highness, believe in your heart.
If it's real, it will be evident.
That is how sincerity works.
It's not about me, it's about Sun Yeong. It's Sun Yeong's story.
He may already know how you feel, Your Highness.
I told you it's not about me...
That boy can't figure out how I feel... Man...
(Princess Hours)
Did you hate me that much?
To do something like this?
Do you know who Romeo's first love was?
Romeo's first love wasn't Juliet. It was Rosaline.
Romeo was tormented because he loved her but she didn't return his love.
When he met Juliet at the party, it was love at first sight.
He completely forgot about Rosaline.
People only know about Romeo and Juliet. No one knows who Rosaline is.
She's just an extra between those two.
She's a past love... A forgotten love.
Romeo...
How can your love be so fickle?
How can you change so easily?
I'm sorry.
I'm going to go visit Hyo Rin. Do you want to come with me?
I feel bad for Hyo Rin.
So let's go visit her.
If you hold the ace for too long, it becomes useless.
It's time to throw down the ace.
That what's precious to one person can be nothing to another person...
It scares me.
What are you talking about?
If we had met earlier, Hyo Rin wouldn't have come to this.
It's unfortunate for everyone because we met too late.
What do you mean by that?
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm not in the mood for a visit.
Hey, Hyo Rin.
How are you feeling?
Here.
Go.
I don't want to see you.
Your Majesty, Lady Park is here to see you.
Yes? What is it?
It's okay. Go ahead.
Your Majesty, Min Hyo Rin tried to commit suicide and was hospitalized.
Hyo Rin?
Princess, do you know her?
Yes. She was Shin's old girlfriend.
Most people don't know but she lives a sad life.
Though her family is poor,
she never gave up and is now an accomplished ballerina.
If she tried to commit suicide...
She must have been really hurt by Shin.
She's not a weak girl.
We overcome one mountain only to meet with another.
What do we do?
Mother, this is very serious.
This situation cannot be allowed to worsen.
Lady Park, is she still in the hospital?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I see...
Do you know what people have been saying lately?
It's about Shin. About his character.
He may be forced to give up his position as Crown Prince.
I feel so bad for Shin.
If he becomes King, who will stand by him?
I feel bad thinking of him being made an outcast.
He has Chae Gyeong.
It was a forced arranged marriage, to a family deep in debt.
She married him for money.
Do you think it can last? When he's nothing?
Those two don't really feel anything for each other.
It's all a show because of the negative press these days.
Shin has a deep sense of responsibility.
He may be continuing with the marriage just because of that responsibility.
Never in history has a Crown Prince been forced from his place.
Shin will be deeply hurt.
Do you think that foolish girl can comfort him?
He will return to you.
But if he does, it will be hard on him.
It'll be hard on me too.
Do you know what the most effective way to get into heaven is?
Knowing the way to hell.
This is the hell you have to go through to get to your heaven.
You have to bear with it.
If you do, you can have what you want.
Shin.
What is it?
Yesterday, you went to see Hyo Rin, right?
I know you did.
I went to see her today...
Why would you go there?
What?
She's like that because of you. Isn't it obvious that I should go?
I'll deal with my business myself.
Why are you getting angry?
I don't want you worrying over things like that.
Your Majesty.
Yes?
What's going on here?
I'm afraid that student tried to commit suicide.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Yes, the response is better than we hoped.
Don't hold back anything now. We must push on until they crumble.
This is our only chance.
Through everything that's happened, we believed in you.
It's probably a misunderstanding... It's just a rumor...
But this is how you repay us?
With this?
Instead of sitting there silently, you should be saying something!
What is going on here?
Father, Shin is probably too shocked to say anything.
Please calm down. Give him time to think straight...
Do you not hear me? Say something!
Are you ignoring your father? You are in contempt of the King!
At least give some excuse!
Your Majesty, please calm down.
I have nothing to say.
So, it's all true.
You've been lying to everyone all this time?
You miserable boy.
Father, I don't think this is Shin's fault.
Someone is out to get us.
That's enough. I've heard enough.
You've brought disgrace upon our family.
Do you still think you have the right to become King?
Get out.
Father!
Shin! Are you okay? What did His Majesty say?
Shin!
Let him go. He needs to be alone.
But...
Chae Gyeong, this is between Shin and Hyo Rin.
I've never seen him so hurt.
I can't leave him alone now.
If you go, you're just going to get hurt.
He's not someone to consider other people's feelings at a time like this.
I don't care if I get hurt.
He always suffers by himself.
I don't want him to be alone anymore.
Am I invisible?
Why can't you see that I'm hurting because of you?
Shin! Don't do this. Go back. Ask His Majesty for forgiveness.
Running away like this is what kids do.
Shin, you're the Crown Prince.
Forget it. It's over.
Your Highness, it is very cold outside.
Yes, Your Highness. Please go back in.
Shin will be okay, right?
Nothing will happen...
He'll be okay...
Hello?
Yes.
Yes, I'm fine.
Go ahead.
My apologies, Your Majesty.
Her Majesty does not want to see anyone right now.
Where is she?
What are you talking about?
That child.
I was wondering that myself.
She seemed like such a nice girl.
I don't know why the Crown Prince left that girl to marry the Crown Princess.
I wonder if he regrets it.
I want to meet that girl.
We will see when we meet her.
Hello, is this Min Hyo Rin?
Hold on, please.
Your Majesty, we have her on the line.
Hello.
Yes, Your Majesty.
At the beep, please leave your...
I didn't want to lean on you but I keep coming back to you.
I want you to come to me whenever you need me.
I'm mad.
I wasn't mad when I went to the hospital. I felt bad then.
Now I just don't understand.
She shouldn't have done that.
If she likes him that much, she shouldn't make things harder for him.
It might have been because she wanted him but couldn't have him.
If she makes things hard on him, do you think she'll get him back?
But you want Shin to like you too.
That's true but...
I don't try to forcefully take things that I can't have.
That's being greedy.
Are you... Really that worried?
It's just better when he's next to me, being a jerk as usual.
I'm nervous and worried without him here.
They still haven't found Hyo Rin?
Tell them to search the world over if they have to! Find her!
Yes, Your Majesty.
(Princess Hours)
I only realized after you went away.
Without you, I don't exist.
So she tricked us?
She played us for fools?
When has she ever told us that her family was rich?
Hyo Rin, that girl!
I expect it from her but for the Crown Prince to betray Chae Gyeong...
Poor Chae Gyeong.
Poor Crown Princess.
Do you really think I can be King?
We will do all we can to help you, Prince Ui Seong.
My name is Baek Chung Hwa. I'm Baek Jun Ki's son.
You must now loyally serve Prince Ui Seong as his bodyguard.
