Before the King
King Gyeong summons the five husband candidates selected by the Garyecheong to the palace to meet them in person.
So, you are the candidates to be the husband of my precious Princess Hyegyeong.
Before the King's presence, all five candidates are prostrate, unable to lift their heads.
Raise your heads. I must see if the appearances of my daughter's potential suitors are sufficient.
All five candidates raise their heads.
The candidates are as follows:
Jeong Beom, son of the Left State Councillor Gyeon Yong-sik, son of the Minister of War Park Han-young, son of the Chief State Councillor Jang Yun-ho, son of the Minister of Taxation
And...
Guest, son of Inspector General Un-jang, the King's most trusted official.
From a place where the five candidates cannot see, Princess Hyegyeong Lee Seon was quietly observing her potential suitors.
Lee Seon's eyes are drawn to Guest.
Who could that be...?
