He danced and jumped in joy,

it was a gruesome

sight to behold!

He's not it!

He's not what?

That man is not my husband.

You were mine all along, Your Highness.

How will you prove it?

No!

Stop!

If he's not your husband,

then he should die.

Don't move!

Your Highness!

Come on!

Do it!

Tear her into pieces,

and feed her to the pigs!

Soong-jae, the mood is ruined.

Your Highness...

So many rejects.

Those who are called

are the contest rejects.

You'll be reassigned or become slaves!

HAN Ja-soon, HYE Dang-hwa,

HYANG Il-hwa, SO Hyang,

SEOL, and JO Jung-hwa.

What is it?

Suffering such humiliation

over a butcher girl.

What a pity.

Stupid whore.

Please ask Consort JANG and put me back in.

You want to be back in the contest?

Rumor says, a traitor's

daughter is a comforter.

She was put in that place

by someone high up.

Your Highness, may your

loyal subject speak?

Yes, what is it?

The contest may be ruined,

but a winner must be decided.

And she must fulfill her duty.

What should I do?

Result is important, but so is the process.

I asked the head trainer to

recommend the best one.

But, she came up with two names instead.

Two names?

Then pit them against each other.

Ergo, I had them brought here.

Bring them in!

All right, show your faces.

Your Highness!

They no longer have any right to compete.

They've poured their

souls into the contest,

and had been outstanding candidates,

so if they're deprived of their chance,

how can we say that

we're selecting the best?

- Your Highness!

- Enough!

I was sorry to let them go.

Let's have a final match!

Yes, Your Highness.

- You're a schemer!

- Why're you so enraged?

It's not like she'll die in his bed.

Or can you not love someone

tainted by the king?

Must you be so cruel?

No matter what, you can't have her.

She has no feelings for you.

Why not just take her?

That's more like you.

Love isn't your style.

I will set you straight,

even if I have to kill you!

I'll look forward to it, my Lord.

Use the hidden silver knife, no mistake.

Minister, you can't come in!

I heard the rules, so don't worry...

So you'll do it at all cost?

Life itself is prison for me.

I'll take whatever punishment.

Fine, if that's your wish.

This is the final lesson. Strip.

- Lord!

- It's an order!

Lose, you'll die, win, you won't survive.

If you so desire to die, listen carefully.

Remember this sensation with your body.

Be aroused first, and you lose.

Not aroused, you lose.

Control your own senses,

and you become the best.

It's not too late.

Give it up and leave at once.

Do you still entertain such futile hope?

I promised never to get you killed.

Fate played tricks on us.

I owe you nothing.

Such warmth from a cold heart.

Even if my body isn't,

my heart is frozen solid.

I will have you and melt your heart.

Even if it does beat,

I will not become yours.

Tell me, that you'll stop.

Just tell me.

Prove it with your life,

then I will say it.

Most desirable woman would

seduce with her scent...

I'm bored.

One cannot claim to be the best

by killing a few soldiers.

One must defeat the enemy general.

A tiger and a phoenix.

Seduce each other before me.

I will award the winner with

the loser's pretty head.

Your Highness, this is against nature.

Look at their eyes and say that.

We've forbid any contact

between comforters...

Must I cut off your tongue?

Begin.

Good, very good.

Good...

That's it!

So Soong-jae trained Jung-hwa?

I did everything possible

for your pleasure.

So, is it SEOL?

Get into it!

That's right.

Yes.

Bit more.

Don't stay still.

That's right!

Jung-hwa this time?

Jung-hwa, concentrate!

Good!

Very good!

Oh come on.

Flip over, flip!

Don't lose, keep going!

Seek your chance!

Keep going, harder!

Keep moving, go on!

It's not over! Go on!

Concentrate! Keep going!

We're almost there!

Try harder. Harder.

Tired already?

Unable to finish without an instrument?

It is pitiful and desperate.

A struggle towards the sun.

Venting with a dagger in hand.

The dragon's hand swings ferociously,

and the snake's tongue remains silent.

Soong-jae!

This is what I've been waiting for!

Be aroused first, you lose,

not aroused, you still lose.

Control your own senses,

and you become the best.

That's it!

I'm dead, I'll lose my head!

Move aside.

Didn't you promise me a pretty head?

And I'm fulfilling that now.

Let the girl go.

But she won't be pretty if dead.

What?

A true Makhana lotus!

Your Highness...

Make SEOL her slave and

I'll bed the winner tomorrow.

Let's go another round.

Delicate flower, with its crimson radiance,

greets the young east forgetting to bloom.

Is the sky dark blinded by madness?

Or is the sky turned dark by a bleak mind?

My old friend.

You still got it.

You're too generous.

Now, as promised, let's hear your request.

Please select another girl

as your new consort.

Are you in love with her?

Do you remember when we were young?

I did everything you told me to do.

Even if it wasn't fit for a boy.

Yes, we were close as these balls.

So I beg of you, give her to me!

How dare you!

Coveting a king's property

is punishable by death!

Answer me this.

Do you desire her at the risk of your life?

Soong-jae...

Do you also believe I'm mad?

No sane man can live through

this turbulent age.

Turbulent age?

My madness has turned the sky black!

Will you stop me?

Even after deflowering thousands,

the ghosts of the dead won't leave me!

I've gone utterly insane!

Life is like dew on grass leaves...

Go on.

Please stop me.

Your Majesty, kill me instead!

No, no!

How can I kill a loyal subject?

You couldn't fulfill your duty

due to my lack of virtue!

Stop me...

Please! Please!

Your Highness!

Let go!

Your Majesty!

Baby!

Who dared to bother my little baby.

My baby.

Rest easy in mommy's bosom.

That's it, everything's all right.

I'll take care of him, leave us now.

It is time, my lady.

I'm here for the new consort.

This was the only way to save you.

The boat will depart soon,

don't ever come back.

But how...

It was her request.

Are you ready?

Make no mistake.

We cannot miss this chance.

If you hear the signal, kill everyone.

Even the new consort.

I've waited long for this moment.

I too felt the same.

Your Highness!

Before you can have me,

you must solve a riddle.

A riddle?

Go on then.

It normally floats, but sinks at times.

You have 3 chances to solve it.

Stop right there!

Floats but sinks?

Can a man ride it?

You're close.

A horse?

Your Highness! You really don't know?

Or a palanquin?

One last chance, what is your answer?

It's a boat!

It normally floats, but

sinks in harsh waters.

I shall ride you, you're my boat today!

Unfortunately, you're wrong.

It keeps a boat afloat or sinks it.

It is water.

It is said, the people is

water, the king is the boat.

You're the boat that the

water will sink today!

Sly b*tch...

Your Highness! Are you all right?
