In the morning glory hall, the snow groomer has poisoned the king and his wife, and he is in a coma. The king's son, Yulan, tries to revive his father, but he is too weak to do so. He begs Yulan to take care of his father. Yulan tells his father that if he dies, he will be the next king, and that he will do his best for the people of the country. He says that he has killed the groomer, and now that he is awake, he cannot imagine what will happen to the kingdom if he were to kill the king. He tells Yulan that he can sleep with him, as he has always been the one who has been by his side throughout his life. He asks Yulan if he is well enough to go back to his palace, but Yulan says he is not. The next morning, the groomer tells the king that his wife has come to beg for his forgiveness, and the king agrees to let her in. He warns Yulan not to marry Yulan because he will put the country at risk if he does not leave.
