Yeon Woo and Bo Kyung join the palace as tutors to Princess Min Hwa. Prince Hwon is pleased to see Yeon Woo, and Nok notices that Yeon Woo is the `moon' that the shaman vowed to protect.

Prince Hwon decides that he will marry Yeon Woo, but Yeom says it won't happen. Yang Myung is granted permission from the king to possibly marry Yeon Woo.
