Knight Flower episode 12 recap & spoilers: Lee Hanee exposes her father-in-law’s crimes at the royal court
Knight Flower episode 12 features Park Soo-Ho informing Yeo-Hwa that her father-in-law ordered Pil-Jik to kill her brother. Yeo-Hwa gets angry and wishes to seek revenge. She dons her masked attire and attacks Ji-Sung. A few seconds before she is about to reveal her face, Soo-Ho intervenes and stops her.
He tries to make her understand that killing Ji-Sung will not bring justice to her brother or Soo-Ho’s family. For context, the Left State Minister killed the former king, Yeo-Hwa’s brother, and Soo-Ho’s parents 15 years ago. While planning revenge on him, Yeo-Hwa finds two hidden letters in the sword that her late brother gave her.
One of the letters is addressed to her. The content mentions an apology and good wishes for her future. Another letter is addressed to King Yi So. Before Ji-Sung steals the letter, Yeo-Hwa meets the king and hands it to him. Earlier, Lady Oh’s death ruined Yi So’s plan to accuse Ji-Sung of the former king’s death. Yi So almost loses hope in seeking justice for his kingdom, but Yeo-Hwa’s brother’s letter brings hope. It is the last letter written by the former king, Yi So’s father, revealing the culprit’s name.
Unaware of Yeo-Hwa and King Yi So’s collaboration, Ji-Sung tries to challenge the throne. The king calls in all the ministers who witness Yeo-Hwa exposing her father-in-law’s crimes. She proves that Ji-Sung killed her brother. Soo-Ho appears at the court and reveals his real identity, exposing the murderer of his family. Lastly, the former king’s letter is shown in the court, proving that Ji-Sung also killed Yi So’s father.
With King Yi So’s orders, Ji-Sung is arrested and sentenced to brutal punishment. The king spares his family’s lives at Yeo-Hwa’s request.
