The promo shows Kim Myung Soo's character informing Kim Dae Mok that the Crown Prince is alive. "He called me a friend and I believed him," he says. Shortly, eunuch's daughter informs the male protagonist that Ga Eun was abducted by the leader of Pyunsoo group.

However, the footage suggests it was a trap set by Yi Sun for the Crown Prince. It shows the masked king telling Yoo Seung Ho's character, "I have led you into a trap, Your Highness. If by chance you get out of here alive..."

The male protagonist decides to risk his life for Ga Eun. When his friends try to stop him he says, "How can a man who cannot even protect the woman he loves protect the thousands of people of Joseon."

While the two friends fight for a girl, their rivals, Kim Dae Mok and the Dowager Queen, will plot evil moves and the female protagonist will probably become their victim. Even Kim Hwa Gun could help them out.
