King told Chung Woon to free the prince after meeting Deputy Magistrate Han.

Prince ran straight to the prison to release Deputy Magistrate Han. 

However, Deputy Magistrate Han only left a letter to Ga-Eun to the prince. Prince understood Deputy Magistrate Han's concern for his daughter. He promised Han to come back after moving Ga-Eun to a safe place. Han figured the boy was the crown prince of hearing him calling Chung Woon's name. 

Prince sent Ga-Eun to a safe place. 

Meanwhile, Hwa-gun complained to Dae Mok about blocking her to become the crown princess. Dae Mok advised her to earn it by herself. She then asked him to give her Gon, Dae Mok's best guard. 

Prince returned to Han and begged to flee. 

Han told him that he decided to die for the justice. He encouraged the prince to not fall into despair for this incident but consider it as a lesson for future work. 

Gon, who saw the prince hid Ga-Eun reported that scene to Dae Mok. Dae Mok was pleased to know the news that he found a way to train the prince in his hand. 

Eunuch Chun-Soo who was poisoned by Pyunsoo group delivered Dae Mok's message that the crown prince should be the executor of Han otherwise persons around him will die one by one. The eunuch fell for the poison. 

Prince tried to save his life, but Chun-Soo died. Prince wept aloud. 

Hwa-gun who sneaked into the place with Gon looked down the prince weeping from the ceiling and felt heartbreaking as well. 

On the day of execution, King went to the prince and tried to discipline him. He told this tragedy was the result of the prince's reckless decision without thinking of how great the impact would be to his loyal servants. 

Prince being rebellious to his father cried out that he never wanted a life of the crown prince who had to live with a mask in exchanging of great suffering of his people. Then the prince fainted. 

At the same time, Ga-Eun who opened her father's letter got to know that her father was about to die. She was shocked and headed out to her old house right away. 

Prince woke up at a strange place that was locked. 

Hwa-gun helped him to get away from the room and reached out to the execution ground of Han. 

Han was seated and waited for the time without a word. 

Chung Woon who disguised as the crown prince proceeded the execution in public. 

Ga-Eun was there. 

The prince who arrived late was in shock seeing the scene.
