Lee Heun

Today I told them to paint that tree instead of my face, and not one of them could lift a brush. The tree will probably outlast me anyway.

• Oh SeryangYour Highness, painters fear a picture with no orders more than anything else. It's always the brush that risks its neck.
  Lee HeunThen it's fortunate no one's neck was on the line today.
• Han JigyeomI painted it, Your Highness. Three branches. I hope it pleased you.
  Oh SeryangDidn't you paint that two days ago already?
• Kwak MuyeongThe zelkova's shade is short. Don't stand out here too long.

Got another scolding for being late to court again. Isn't the real problem calling a man who was up all night back at dawn?

• Shim EunggyuWhen Your Highness is late, your ministers simply spend that time elsewhere.
  Lee HeunAnd what does the Minister do with it? Draw up a list of names?
• Han JigyeomYour Highness, faces come out best in the dawn light. Let's meet then next time.
• Kwak MuyeongI'll wake you at the hour of the rabbit.
  Lee HeunMuyeong. That's a threat.
