Master Youngshil and Prince Hwikyung try to crown Seonu as a new king of Silla, but Seonu swears his allegiance to the King with the other Hwarangs. Seonu has agreed to support Jidwi and promised to eliminate those who are against him because he has realized that they dream of the same future of Silla.
Master Hwikyung has finished preparing to make Seonu a new king and is waiting for his decision. To protect those people who are weak, kind, injured, and abandoned, he makes up his mind to become king. Meanwhile, Jidwi finds out about who Seonu really is only after he claims to take the throne.
The Princess and Aro are selected to be Wonhwa, the two leaders of Hwarang. The Queen plans to use them for controlling Hwarang and get rid of them once they become useless. Meanwhile, Prince Hwikyung asks if Seonu is willing to become a real king and change the world as he desires.
Aro finds out that Master Youngshil has been buying all the available medicinal ingredients for the epidemic so that he can sell them at a much higher price when it spreads further. Seonu, Jidwi, and other Hwarangs sneak into Master Youngshil's house to steal the medicine while Master Wehwa draws his attention.
Now, everyone thinks that Seonu is the King of Silla and he will change the world after taking his throne. Threatening to kill Aro, the Queen forces him to continue pretending to be the one. Meanwhile, Jidwi asks Aro to run away together so that he can be free from this mess and have an ordinary life with her.
The Hwarang's performance faces an extreme crisis while Master Hwikyung visits Master Ahnji and tells him something meaningful about Queen Jiso. Meanwhile Seonu and Sam Maekjong finds out that Aro has disappeared and they set off to find her and Sam Maekjong locks horns with his mother, Queen Jiso.
Hwarang has practiced a lot for their performance, and everyone is expecting to watch it at the festival. However, Master Youngshil orders Banryu to ruin the performance so that the people see how unprepared and incompetent the Queen's Hwarang is. Banryu hates that he must follow the order when he wants to make it successful with other members.
Hwarang's second assignment is to give a music performance at the Thanksgiving Festival. Wooreuk, the master of instruments, visits Hwarang House as an instructor. The members practice day and night to show the amazing performance to the people and the Queen. Meanwhile, Aro goes to talk to Wooreuk after finding out that he raised her brother.
Master Wehwa gives out the first assignment to the Hwarang members. It is to discuss a king as water and it must be based on “Tao Te Ching” by Laozi. Though his answer is enough to convince everyone, Seonu fails to pass because he argues that Taoism is garbage. He now has only two more chances left to survive in Hwarang.
They begin their training as members of Hwarang, but some of them are annoyed by a half-breed, Seonu, for being in the same group. Especially, Banryu is disgusted that he insults Seonu in every way. He tries to hold in, but starts the fight at last when Banryu talks bad about Aro.
The selected young masters are invited to attend the appointment ceremony of Hwarang. Queen Jiso feels shocked and betrayed to see her son, Sam Maekjong at the ceremony because she has worked so hard to protect him until now and his appearance is against her will.
