Meanwhile, Eul-soo (Jo Jung Suk), a member of a secret assassin group, receives orders to kill Jeong-jo.

Gap-soo, who had also been in the same secret assassin ring as Eul-soo, later confesses to Jeong-jo about his dark past and his motive for coming into the palace. To Gap-soo’s surprise, Jeong-jo asks Gap-soo when he had given up being an assassin, then orders him to just leave the palace.
