The King’s Affection Episode 15 Key Moments

“As of this moment, all entries for the Diaries of the Royal Secretariat will be mine to write.”

At the Royal Institute, Ji-un, who is looking at himself in the warped mirror, is startled when Secretary Yang inquires as to what he is doing. When Ji-un tells him that it was nothing, the other scribe informs him about their monthly schedule.

Noticing that he is being excluded from the duties at the King’s office, Ji-un offers his assistance in taking on Scribe Kim’s extra chores. That is, from now on, all entries for the Diaries of the Royal Secretariat will be Ji-un’s to scribe.

Meanwhile, Yi Hwi reads the appeals in her office but her thoughts divert to the moment of  Ji-un hugging her and assuring her that he would still wait even if she delayed her decision a little longer.

Interrupting her deep thoughts, Eunuch Hong consequently makes a sound. He further speaks his mind that Scribe Jung must not have much to do, given his time to arrange lanterns along the path she often walks.

“You have waited for the right time to achieve something great.”

After reinstating Lord Shin Yeong-su as the Inspector General, Yi Hwi meets with him and convinces him that she wants to mend all of her grandfather’s wrongdoings.

Handing to Lord Shin the proof of the Minister of Taxation’s illegal activities, Yi Hwi assigns his first investigation as Inspector General.

Following this, Yi Hwi is supposed to request from Ji-un that what he overheard not be written down, but he immediately assures her that he omitted their conversation.

Informing her that she has waited for the appropriate moment to accomplish something remarkable and asks that Yi Hwi allow Ji-un to join her. Yi Hwi then warns Ji-un that joining her has risks.

However, Ji-un reminds her of the day they spent in the woods. Where the promises they talked about can no longer be kept now. Ji-un pleads with Yi Hwi to at least allow him to be at his side constantly.

“Whatever you say must go in the diary, so please choose your words carefully.”

With the state matters can be exhausting for the king, Yi Hwi rests outside her quarters. After a while, Ji-un sees the sleeping Yi Hwi beside the tree.

As he approaches her, he hears the Queen’s voice calling Yi Hwi, and he immediately flees to the back of the tree.

Returning to the king’s office, where Ji-un is waiting for Yi Hwi, he wonders why the Queen is paying her a visit. Yi Hwi answers that she came to check on her.

In the meantime, Ji-un simply tells her that she must be extremely exhausted as she rests out in the open. Without regard for the fact that she lacks even a guard to keep an eye on her, he continues to tell her that the palace can be a dangerous place.

When asked if he is jealous, Ji-un refuses to admit it and stresses that they are in her office and everything she says must be in the diary, otherwise she would tread cautiously in choosing her words.
