@luna_cy13 actually the king is indebted to hee-ryang for destroying those guys who names I don't remember, who were harassing the population. So he can use that in his favour to have yeonjo's noble title back. Of course, the emotional issues would need to worked out first, and hee-ryang needs to propose to yeonjo a future bright enough that he seems a glimmer of hope in it.( Right now yeonjo sees no possible happiness without his family). But that would be a nice ending.
