Chapter 1. Destiny in theMoonlight

She is a wall. She won't even look at you. She has a wall guarding her heart. – Hong Ra On

How can you stop your feelings just because you're not allowed to love each other? – Hong Ra On

It's nice to see you, Puppy. – Lee Young

Chapter 2. The Path to You

My body doesn't go where my heart doesn't lead. – Kim Yoon Sung

You must climb little by little so that you will not wave when you're at the top. – Kim Hoon

How could a declawed tiger cub grow to be a king? – Kim Hoon

Where and how did I meet someone like that who dared to hurt me? – Lee Young

This is tiring. I wish to be struck by lightning. *Hong Ra On falls* My wish came true after all. – Kim Yoon Sung

There's no eunuch as pretty as you. – Kim Yoon Sung

I was your friend. – Lee Young

If you're hungry when you're upset, you feel even more miserable. – Hong Ra On

Not everyone feels the same as you. Don't think everyone else would be like you. – Lee Young

It's easy to help those who are hungry, but it's hard to console those who are heartbroken because they tend to lie that they're okay. – Hong Ra On

You have no appetite, but it's not because of food. You feel weak, but it's not because of an illness. There's no cure for love sickness. This isn't the time to overcome the feelings. You have to endure the pain. Instead of thinking you loved someone you can't have, try to think that you made good memories that you can cherish for a long time.

Chapter 3. I am Standing by You

You're not someone who can hurt others. – Lee Young

I've never had a place to call home. – Hong Ra On

"Crying when you are sad takes great courage as well."

Ra On: You always appear when I'm in trouble or weary. It's amazing.

Yoon Sung: Do not beat around the bush. You call that fate.

If a lady does not wish to tell, a man should pretend not to know. – Kim Yoon Sung

I'm a fool who cannot let go. – Consort Park

Even if it was useless you had to do something instead of shaking in fear, because you are the king of Joseon. – Lee Young

You nipped any little hope that remained in her. – Lee Young

Please give me a chance to repay that kindness you showed me that day. – Lee Young

I cannot do anything. I should not do anything. Only then can I keep you safe. It is to keep you safe. Because I am incompetent, that is the only way I can protect my people. – King Soon Jo

What could there be for him to hide or be afraid of? – Hong Ra On

I have not realized until now. He is not only the king with a crown on his head; he is also the husband of his loving one and my father who cannot be replaced. – Lee Young

I need a person who I can rely on when I am weak and afraid. I need a father. – Lee Young

Chapter 4. After the Play Ends

When we are alone, you can continue to treat me as a friend. No, it is a command. – Lee Young

It is fun when the rain hits you, but the cold lasts a long time. – Lee Young

You do not need to see blood in order to win. You can kill them with sweet honey; why would you use poison? – Jung Yak Yong

Chapter 5. Tell Me Your Wish

I dreamed of the day I parted with my mom. It was a happy dream. At least I can see her again. – Hong Ra On

Do you know what cold and love have in common? It is that you cannot hide it. There is one more. Another similarity between cold and love is that it hurts.

This place is still the same, but she must have forgotten me. Still I hope I can see her one more time. – Jung Deok Ho

Ra On: Please make Crown Prince's wish come true.

Young: I wish Eunuch Hong will find his mother.

It is my wish to make your wish come true. – Lee Young

I know this must sound ridiculous. I don't know why I keep seeing someone else in you. I see a lady. – Lee Young

I do not give permission. He is my person. – Lee Young

Chapter 6. When You Want to Tell Your Secret

I will never see someone in you again. – Lee Young

If you desire someone you cannot have, it eats away at you from within.

If anyone ever speaks of Eunuch Hong's secret, regardless of who it is, I plan to kill you. – Kim Yoon Sung

Promise me one thing: Do not refrain yourself because of someone else, especially if it is because of me. – Lee Young

I have never let anyone take what is mine before. –Lee Young

Your Highness must refrain yourself from anger for your people and not for me. – Hong Ra On

I'm fine as long as Eunuch Hong is safe. – Kim Yoon Sung

I was afraid too, that it would be too late. – Lee Young

How dare you break your promise to me? – Lee Young

I get angry when I see you, but I cannot help it. When I could not see you, I was angrier and it drove me crazy. So stay by my side. – Lee Young

Chapter 7. Confession

You said before that no one likes the palace, right? And that if you come to like someone in the palace, it becomes a decent place to live on. I am worried that I will grow to like the palace more. – Hong Ra On

Do not make me worry again, because you are very special to me. – Kim Yoon Sung

Our love would only hurt us. – Wol Hee

Yes, it is against the laws, but you can do nothing about what your heart wants to do. – Hong Ra On

What happened in the past must never repeat. – King Soon Jo

Ra On: It will deliver the sincerity so that no one gets hurt.

Young: It is useless. Delivering how you feel will not change anything.

Ra On: It is not stretching your arms, thinking you can reach the sky. You know it is useless, but you can't help falling in love with someone. Even if nothing changes, you stop hope she knows your feelings.

Young: Confessing your love only to make yourself at ease, it's such a selfish thing to do.

Ra On: Is it wrong to confess to someone you cannot be with? A proper farewell is as sincere as love. Who knows if the memory of being loved could give you strength to go on with your life?

Do you not wish to live as a woman? – Kim Yoon Sung

I will wait until you realize what you truly want. – Kim Yoon Sung

You are only one of many court ladies to His Majesty, but to me you mean the whole world. – Ma Jong Ma

Those are not the eyes to look at a eunuch; they are the eyes of a man looking at his lover. – Queen Kim

I guess I should leave if I could. – Hong Ra On

Do not be kind to me. I cannot be your friend or anything else. – Hong Ra On

I told a lie. When I told you to stay with me, I did not mean as a eunuch. I needed to calm this outrageous confusion so I questioned myself endlessly every night. And I have found the answer. Before being the Crown Prince, I am a person and a man. I like you. That is my answer. – Lee Young

Do not say my feelings are wrong. You said so yourself that you cannot judge your heart which has gone its own way. – Lee Young

Ra On: Even with love, there are both good love and bad love. It is forbidden.

Young: I know. However, I plan to do it—that forbidden love.

Chapter 8. You Do Not Know Anything

I wanted to hide my feelings from everyone, because I thought I must not show it to make you stay with me. Your words gave me courage to confess my feelings, which may put me in danger and make me lose you. – Lee Young

Thank you for teaching me that the sincerity of love creates miracles. – Lee Young

I should leave the palace as soon as I could, but I do not want to leave. – Hong Ra On

I wonder what has captured your heart enough to make you take on a risk. – Kim Yoon Sung

You do not take back words you have spoken. You take responsibility for them. – Lee Young

Do not think you know everything about me. – Hong Ra On

Your Highness, do not be so good to me. I keep wanting to lean on you. This will not do. – Hong Ra On

What good is it to know the secret to relationships? You can relay your feelings just as you are. – Hong Ra On

Sincerity is very powerful. – Hong Ra On

Young: What would you do if you faced a difficult foe?

Ra On: If it is someone I must fight, I must fight with all my might. If that still does not work, I should go with the flow.

If a red flower blooms in a green field, it is human nature to want to pick that flower. However, if you try to pick that flower the grass in its vicinity is to be trampled first. – Kim Hoon

If I had only one person in the world that I can trust, it would be you. – Lee Young

She had a warm heart and was wiser than anyone else. – Lee Young

I could not protect her. That was when I realized that I must become strong to protect someone I love. – Lee Young

You do not need to say anything. You just need to be by my side. – Lee Young

I may be a eunuch serving you, but my heart does not belong to you as well. – Hong Ra On

I told you that there is a lady I like right now. She is standing before me. – Lee Young

I will now treat you like the most precious lady in the world. – Lee Young

Chapter 9. The Moment the Lock of the Heart is Opened

When I sat comfortably in a palanquin, you walked. When I walked, you held the parasol until your arms failed. I sat on silk, while you sat on dirt. How could I say I cherished you as a woman? – Lee Young

I shall cherish you. – Lee Young

Yes, I am a woman. However, I have never lived as a woman. – Hong Ra On

When you open a path, you must open the gate at the end of the path. – Lee Young

Do you not know that I want you to take a step closer as yourself and not as a eunuch? – Lee Young

Is the objective of this fight victory or change? – Jung Yak Yong

I am still trapped as well. I am forced to hide, and I shake in fear that someone will open the door and I will be found. When will we be able to open the door ourselves and walk out? – Hong Ra On

You know me better than anyone. So if you avoid me, I have no way of winning. – Lee Young

Ra On: If you are with me, you will not have a moment's peace.

Young: Then do you think I am at peace without you?

I am too worried to take a single step toward you. – Hong Ra On

There are thousands of things I can and want to do for you. Is running away without seeing me the only thing you will ever ask of me? – Lee Young

I regretted it. I should have pretended not to know if I had known you'd be always looking for a way to escape. Had I known, I would not have struggled with whether you were a eunuch or a woman. I would have thought how to keep you with me as long as possible. – Lee Young

Could you not stay despite all of that? Can you not stay here by my side? – Lee Young

*Hand signals* I like you. No, I love you. So please, do not leave me. Stay with me. – Lee Young

Chapter 10. Like a Fairytale

Anxiety seeps in through the weakest point. – Kim Hoon

I cannot be blind to the mud beneath my feet just to stay in the shade. – Lee Young

Do not get hurt again. It is an order. Do not laugh in front of other. Hold it in. That is also an order. – Lee Young

*Kisses Ra On on the cheeks* That is your punishment for defying the Crown Prince's orders. – Lee Young

Be as sad as you wish. Cry as you need. Suffer from a broken heart and then come to me. – Kim Yoon Sung

I need you to be strong enough to keep the truth alive. – Lee Young

A string that is pulled too tight on a bow is bound to break. – Jung Yak Yong

I do not want to see her suffer from a broken heart because of your greed. No, I shall not let it happen. – Kim Yoon Sung

I did not want her to know the pain I went through. – Kim Byung Yun

Why are you pretending to be alright? – Lee Young

Did you plan to disappear like sea foam after pretending to be alright? – Lee Young

I do not like the story that you told me. I will change the ending of the story. The two of them live together happily ever after, like the two of us. – Lee Young

Chapter 11. A Promise

I have always wanted to mark you as mine. – Lee Young

What must we do to create hope? – Kim Byung Yun

I wish you'd be a king with good eyes. If you are too high up, you tend to not see people below you. I wish you have good ears. You must not listen only to those who yell before you. – Queen Yoon

When the heart is sad, you doubt everything. – Hong Ra On

Either take my hand or stand against me. – Kim Hoon

I simply want to keep someone I care about near me. I do not know why things keep happening that I feel bad for. – Lee Young

No, I will not keep it inside any longer. It is the first time I wanted something this badly. – Kim Yoon Sung

People who are meant to meet again see each other again in one way or another. – Hong Ra On

Even if I cannot stay with you as a woman, it does not mean I will stop loving you. – Hong Ra On

She needs someone else, not you. – Jung Yak Yong

I want Joseon to be a country where a child can live as a child and a woman can live as a woman. I want it to be where everyone lives happily. Can you wait until I can create a nation like that for you? You are the first of my people in the new Joseon that I will create. – Lee Young

If you face a very difficult decision and must let go of something, it must not be me. – Lee Young

Chapter 12. Faith becomes Destiny

Destiny is neither created because you wish it to be, nor avoided because you wish to. – Jung Yak Yong

If you are happy, then I am happy. – Lee Young

Please never let go of my hand. I shall never let go either. – Hong Ra On

No one will take away your happiness without my permission. – Lee Young

I tried so hard to free her from that wretched fate. – Kim So Sa

Chapter 13. Tenderly Goodbye

If you want to hug me so much, I will permit you. – Lee Young

You must do all that you can before you give up. – Lee Young

I decided not to let him see how I feel in order to stay by his side. – Jo Ha Yeon

I am angry at myself for always being one step behind. – Kim Yoon Sung

I cannot give you my heart. – Lee Young

I am not pathetic enough to beg for love from a man in love with another woman. – Jo Ha Yeon

There are moments when ordinary things and everyday life suddenly feel very precious. – Hong Ra On

You suddenly find the ordinary things and boring daily lives to be very special once you think it is the last time. – Hong Ra On

Chapter 14. Misty Road

That was so mean, leaving without saying goodbye. – Sung Yeol

Whether you see it from the palace or from a farm, the moon is simply the moon. I may be the Crown Prince, but it does not matter whoever you are. Whenever it is or wherever we are, it's fine as long as our hearts are the same. Just like the moon. – Lee Young

I believe that true love is the only thing that would enable me to be patient and to sacrifice myself for His Highness. – Jo Ha Yeon

I know I should forget him. I should not, but I keep wanting to know how he is. – Hong Ra On

I wonder if you would open up to me after all these miserable days are gone. – Kim Yoon Sung

I will not hope or delude myself. – Kim Yoon Sung

I will never forgive you. *hugs Ra On* – Lee Young

Chapter 15. All the Lies that Appeared True

I will listen only to you. No matter what lies you tell, I will believe it. – Lee Young

Were you sincere about everything you showed me? – Lee Young

When untangling your thread, when you face a knot that is impossible to untangle you must cut it out without holding back. – Chief Eunuch Han

I have to say goodbye to someone properly so he can live well without me. – Hong Ra On

Even if it is poorly-planned and humble, I shall draw my own future for myself. – Kim Yoon Sung

Chapter 16. The World You Dream Of

I will lay down my life if necessary to free him. – Chief Eunuch Han

I have lost something very precious because of you. – Lee Young

A leader was placed for the sake of the people. It is not for one man to sit high above everyone and fulfil his selfishness. – Hong Gyung Nae

It is not the ultimate being who chooses the leader. A leader of the people must be chosen by the people. – Hong Gyung Nae

If you miss someone, you should see them. –Lee Young

Even if you have not been able to change the world, you could have been of great help as a father just by being there. – Hong Ra On

I wanted to change the world for it to be slightly better for you to live in. – Hong Gyung Nae

Our destinies were entangled already even before you and I met. – Lee Young

It is too cloudy to see the moon. How can I walk in the dark alone? – Lee Young

I imagine how it would be if we were in a different situation many times a day. – Lee Young

Personal feelings must be put aside for a great cause. – Chief Eunuch Han

A king like you who is born as a king must think of himself as the sun, the absolute being that shines over the people. A king chosen by the people would be different. He would consider himself equal to the people as a human being. – Hong Gyung Nae

Not only a leader chosen by the people cherishes them. How could someone who cherishes each of the people treat them as if they were animals? – Lee Young

The world I dream of is not different from the world you dream of. The only difference is how far they are from the present. Maybe we could find the way without bloodshed, the way we can walk together toward the world we dream of. – Lee Young

Your Highness, from this moment, please stop loving me. Please remember me as a rebel's daughter. I do not want to leave you the horrible pain of guilt that you could not protect the maiden you love. – Hong Ra On

Chapter 17. The End for the Beginning

Young: Although it'll be a very difficult fight, I need to know what kind of society Baekwoon is and what the wall that separates me and the people is. Now, I must find out.

Byung Yeon: The nation you want to create will be over that wall.

I believe that the world Baekwoon is waiting for is not different from the nation you dream of, Your Highness. Over the wall that separates you and the people, the nation that you will create, I really want to see it. – Kim Byung Yeon

Don't withdraw your sword. The moment you put your sword down, I will lose you. – Lee Young

Don't forget that if I could trust only one person in this world, without a change that person would still be you. – Lee Young

I wish that in my last moment, I could just be your friend. – Kim Byung Yeon

The hunt is not over when you grab hold of the tail. They could cut the tail off and escape. Be careful. – Jung Yak Yong

It must have been so hard for you to repress and hide yourself all this time. – Hong Ra On

They say you can only be a good ruler if you listen to the cries of the people. I can't hear anything if I just remain inside the palace. – Lee Young

Be forewarned if you are going to mess with me. You'd better be firm in your resolve. – Queen Kim

Chapter 18. Moonlight Drawn by Clouds

Do you know how worried I was that the person in front of me wouldn't be you when I open my eyes? I was worried that I would hold onto this hand and it would turn out to be someone else. – Lee Young

I want to test myself, how deep my feelings are for her. – Kim Yoon Sung

A family has to have power in order to get what it desires, is that not right? – Kim Yoon Sung

Crown Prince,

When you get this letter, it is my ardent hope that you would have overcome all of the sadness and hate. Please do not forget that the position of the Crown Prince I tried to protect with my life was not for my son's power but for a hope for Joseon.

                                                                                                                                                           – Queen Yoon

Please don't cry. I don't want to be remembered as a petty man who drove a woman to tears. Please don't be sad either. – Kim Yoon Sung

You always made me laugh. I'm sorry for only causing you pain. – Hong Ra On

You are the image that I always wanted to draw. If you're happy in the moment I drew you, then everything's okay. So please be happy. – Kim Yoon Sung

I want to be acknowledged by you, Father. – Queen Kim

I already knew he didn't see me as a woman, but of I stayed by him I thought he'll open up his heart some day. That's what I believed. – Jo Ha Yeon

The high and low between myself and the people, the distance between you and I... Understand my feelings of wanting to be at least a step closer to all of you. – Lee Young

For me, every path I take with you is a path of flowers. So who needs success? I only need you, Myung Eun. – Jung Duk Ho

Byung Yeon: Do you know the saying, "Drawing the clouds draw the moon"?

Gyung Nae: "The moon lights as you draw the clouds", doesn't it mean that?

Byung Yeon: The King, not like the sun that shines by itself, but like the moonlight that shines when surrounded by the people, His Majesty is like that.

I just peeked into the world that you will create, Your Highness. – Hong Ra On

You are the Ra On that filled up my whole world. – Lee Young
