- [King Hwon's invitation to Woon, his bodyguard, to join him in the bath sends the attendants scurrying from the room]
- Hyeong Seon: You Majesty, there are already strange rumors in the palace. Why do you still joke like this?
- Lee Hwon: Rumors? What rumors?
- Hyeong Seon: That you keep the queen far away but keep Woon close by. So, rumor has it that you are a man-lov... Man...
- Lee Hwon: A man among men?
- Hyeong Seon: Regardless of rumor, I beg you, PLEASE do not joke with Woon like this again.
- Lee Hwon: Then... Hyeong Sun, do YOU want to join me in the bath?
- Yun Bo Gyeong: You're a king with great ambition. A throne without a person to inherit is like a castle on the sand. You should have someone to follow your footsteps for the good of the country.
- Lee Hwon: Queen.
- Yun Bo Gyeong: I don't dare. Can not see the elders without feeling guilty anymore. It doesn't matter even if it is me or not. You should bring in a concubine to have a prince.
- Lee Hwon: Is that so?
- Yun Bo Gyeong: As the mother of the country, how can I let my own feeling stand in the way?
- Lee Hwon: I... Why everyone likes you and admires you so much, I know the reason now. I didn't know how good-hearted you were, how hard it might have been for you because I was being foolish. I accept your request. Tomorrow I will talk with the court officials about bringing in a royal concubine.
