Episode 35

What?

They're in discussions with the Song
nation about joining hands again?

Yes...

It seems very difficult for His Majesty
to cut ties with the Song.

Right now, I'm sure you are very
aware of Khitan's military power...

[Lady Sungdeok-Hwangbo Su (future Empress Cheonchu)]

so how can they be rejoining hands with the Song?

What is it, other than stirring things
up again without any forethought?

[Gang Gamchan (Grand Secretary of the Supreme Council)]

That's why, Minister Seo Hui
is in opposition, but...

I don't think he will be able to
change His Majesty's mind.

How can he only think about
relying on other nations for help?

Didn't he realize anything from this war?

We need to build up our military.

Imagine if Khitan were to subjugate the Song,

who do you think they will point
their swords towards afterwards?

It's Goryeo.

While the two nations are at odds with one
another, we need to increase our military.

I understand your concerns, but the
situation in Goryeo will not allow that.

His Majesty may have
his own thoughts on this,

but the Shilla faction is
always in the background.

We cannot leave them as is.

If we don't do something,

Goryeo will perish.

That is...

What's the matter?

Yelu Wuji

The Empress Dowager ordered me
to escort Her Highness to her.

My Lady, where are you headed?

She is headed to see the
Empress Dowager. Step back!

Where did you say she is going?

Empress Dowager requested her visit.

Duyan

Then... Why are you here instead of Jiemei?

That I don't know. I'm just following
the order to bring her at once.

My Lady, I will escort you.

It's fine... You stay here.

Let's go.

What's your name?

Why are you asking?

Gang Jo

Your martial arts skills are amazing.

You even defeated our general,
who is the best martial artist in Khitan.

By chance...

What are you doing tonight?

Look here...

Why are you asking that all of a sudden?

Let's go, Brother.

Why are you doing this?

Cheon Hyang Bi

Get out of here immediately.

Be careful...

I don't like women.

Do you want to die?

For you, any time.

What are you doing?

I was wondering where you were,
and I find you here flirting with a man.

Jiemei

It's none of your business.
What brings you here?

The Empress Dowager wishes to see Her Highness.

Just a moment ago, she went
to see the Empress Dowager.

What are you saying?
I'm here, so why would he take her?

Wait... Stop here.

This is not the way to the
Empress Dowager's chambers.

She is waiting somewhere else,

so be quiet and follow me.

The Empress Dowager didn't call, right?

You wretch... What are you planning?

For a woman, you catch on fast.

Hold on to her.

Just like my eyes.

I'll start with your left eye.

My Lady, are you alright?

Speak!

What is your reasoning for disobeying the
Empress Dowager's order and trying to kill her?

Yayul Jukleul

I just wanted my revenge against
her for taking my eye.

For something like this, there is no way
you are alone in making that decision.

If you don't want to die,
speak the truth!

You might talk if I decide
to take your other eye.

Yes... it was General Yayul.

What?

General Yelu gave the order...

I just followed it.

Did you give that order?

Yes, Your highness.

Do you want the same fate as Gang Shin?

[Empress Dowager Xiao (Emperor Shengzhong's mother)]

How dare you disobey my order?

Please kill me, Your Highness.

Yelu Pennu

Sure... You don't think I can do it?

Please stop!

I gave the order, Mother.
He is innocent.

It was you?

Yes.

What's the reason?

Mother, I'm not satisfied with
how you handled this matter.

She is so defiant, yet you're sending her
back home along, with the prisoners of war.

[Shengzhong (6th ruler of Khitan)]

It shouldn't happen this way.

Haven't I told you my reason for doing this

is to destroy their royal family from within.

If you want to destroy their family,

you can just send in the troops
and stomp all over them.

For the sake of our great nation,

I'm not in favor of resorting to
subversive tactics employing a woman.

That worthless wench, she
needs her head taken off, and...

Shut your mouth!

So...

You want to disobey my
order, and do it your way?

So what you're saying is
you don't need me anymore?!

Mother...

It's not that.

For the sake of our great nation?

For that throne, are you
forgetting what I had to do,

everything I had to throw away, and how
difficult it was to put you on that throne!

Do you think that war is the
only way of settling things?

Do you have any idea

why I didn't deploy all the troops,
and left this task for our eastern army?

Remember, Song is not some weak nation!

Moreover...

Avoiding bloodshed from war is the better way.

Inside a soldier's mind...
it's like a leaf trembling in the wind.

Once their mind develops a hatred for war,

it's only a matter of time
before the nation crumbles.

We were once a small nation
of merchants and nomads,

so how do you think we
became this great nation?

Do you think it was through war?!

Rather than using military
power to control an enemy,

it's 100 or a 1000 times harder
to do it through loyalty.

You think that is the only
way to sustain our nation?!

You don't even know that, and
yet you want to rule this nation!

If you still wish to go against my thinking,

why don't you just strip me
of my title, and do as you wish?!

Please forgive me, Mother.

I was foolish... so I didn't realize
how deep your thinking went.

I now realize the error of my ways.

So please forgive me.

It's true.

The reason why the nomad tribes of Khitan

were able to establish a great nation

was not only the use of their
military power in the early stages,

but mainly was due to their use of
strategic policies to subjugate their enemies.

The Khitan did not
discriminate the two nations

of Song and Balhae who had surrendered.

But to maintain the purity of their bloodline,

the subjugated people of Song were under
the authority of the southern governor,

while the natives of Khitan were under
the authority of the northern governor.

In particular, Han Derang,

the famous Khitan chancellor in charge of
both Northern and Southern territories,

was able to subjugate the Song
nation without any war

by using brilliant strategic tactics.

Fully aware of his abilities,

Chengtian (Dowager Empress of Khitan)

Han Derang (Khitan Commissioner of the Security Council)]

even poisoned his wife in order to
possess him and make him her lover,

as well as the Grand Chancellor.

I made this banquet in honor of Goryeo's
envoy, who will be departing tomorrow.

Tonight...

enjoy the night, and I wish for all
of your safe return back to Goryeo.

And from this chair,

I wish to convey my thoughts

to Lady Sungdeok in regards
to the unfortunate incident.

So please let go of any misunderstandings
by returning back to Goryeo,

and be the strength behind the
ties between our two nations.

For you and His Majesty's generous
welcome to our envoy,

[Park Yang Yu (Chief Minister of the Supreme Council)]

I bow my head in gratitude.

For freeing the prisoners and for
throwing this lavish banquet in our honor,

to show our gratitude,
I will raise the first glass.

For the sake of the ties
between our two nations.

For the sake of ties between our
great nation and Goryeo.

To our ties!

Instructor Gang?

Why have you come out?

Why have you?

I am not in the mood for a banquet.

I feel the same way.

Have you gathered your brother's ashes?

Yes.

During our return trip,

I am thinking of spreading his ashes at
the border of Jeongahn and Goryeo.

[Jeongahn: Statelet created by Balhae refugees in the early 10th Cen.]

To you, I feel sorry and I feel bad...

I feel as though you have
lost so much because of me...

Maybe, it would have been
better if you hadn't met me.

Not at all. Please don't say that.

I am happy just to be at your side.

Instructor Gang?

Yes, My Lady.

Do you remember what I
said to you at Ahnyoongjin?

I will change upon my arrival at Goryeo.

As for our King...

I will dethrone my brother to enthrone
my son, and I will strengthen our nation.

Are you certain?

Definitely.

During my stay here,
I realized something deeply.

The Empress Dowager of Khitan scares me.

It's the first time in my life,
being that scared of someone.

In front of her, I feel so immobilized,
I can't even breath properly.

If she wanted to, she could destroy
Goryeo easier than stomping on straw.

That is why I must step forward.

Right now, our King is no match for her.

If that is what you've decided to do,
then I'll follow you.

Before that, we must be well prepared.

I know.

Thank you, Drillmaster Gang.

Because you're around, I feel stronger.

Are you only talking about me as a subject?

Yes... My Lady.

Do you something to say?

No.

Our emperor has a long way to go.

Being 24 years old, he should be
able to rule, but he is still immature.

But he has a deep sense of filial obedience,
so do not be so disappointed.

Just being filial alone is not
sufficient enough to rule.

Even after my death, this nation
should grow and become stronger.

But I fear it won't happen.

It's because your expectations are set too high.

Our emperor is not foolish person.
But rather, he succumbs to his youth.

Think about his pride when he
lost that bet in the arena.

He must have been upset.

He will become wiser as he gets older.

Do you think so?

Of course, and you will live a long time.

After conquering the Song nation together,

we should ride our horses
down south to the ocean's end.

When I lean on you like this,

the tension in my body and mind release.

Who's out there?

Foreman Kim?

Did the banquet go well?

Kim Chi Yang

Why aren't you asleep?

Your movements might still be uncomfortable.

I can't sleep.

To think this will be the last night here,

my mind is filled with all the
memories of what we endured.

Aren't you feeling the same thing?

By the way, I needed to speak to you anyway.

Have a seat.

What is it?

Foreman Kim...

That past incident between us,
why don't you just forget about it.

What are you saying?

Thinking back, I made a mistake.

Forget it ever happened.

Why? How do you want me to forget?

Back then, it couldn't be helped.

But now it's different.

When we return back to Goryeo,
we can't continue on like this.

If others see us...

Are you afraid of being found out?

Since our lives has been spared,
you don't need me anymore?

What are you saying?

My Lady... I cannot forget about you.

I don't care what other people's opinions are.

Take a look at the
Empress and the Chancellor,

they're open about their
relationship in front of everyone.

Why can't we be the same?

Goryeo is different from here.

When I return, I am
going to carry out a revolt.

It won't help in my revolt
if I have these emotions.

It will only bring danger.

So why don't we put these emotions aside?

If that is how you feel,

I will only be a shadow at your side.

Others won't even notice.

However...

Please do not tell me to forget about you.

Even in death, I cannot do that.

I have put my life at risk for this love.

Even so, it can't happen.

Perhaps someday this
world will be on our side.

But right now is not the time.

We can create a world like that.

For that very reason,
isn't that why we are fighting?

You may leave now.

I must sleep.

Then... I will talk to you later.

For myself, I can never give up on you.

I am sorry...

I am afraid of falling for you even deeper.

I cannot become weak.

Goryeo Royal Palace

All of you heed my words...

Because

of our war against the Khitan,
we couldn't avoid becoming allies.

Also, because of our
longstanding relationship

[Seongjong (6th Ruler of Goryeo)]

we've maintained with the Song nation,

I don't think I can accept breaking
our agreement with them.

So, I've decided...

to send an envoy to Song.

Your Majesty...

) [Seo Hui (Vice Minister of the Supreme Council)]

That's not a good idea!

We cannot send an envoy to the Song nation.

Please retract your decision!

I've made up my mind.

It was a difficult decision, made through
careful deliberation. So at this time

please follow my decision.

But Your Majesty...

[Yi Ji Baek (Inspector of the Board of Punishment)]

Sending an envoy to the Song nation

will be the same as breaking
our ties with the Khitan.

So we shouldn't be doing this.

Didn't I tell you it was a decision
made after much consideration?!

Your Majesty...

[Yi Gyeomui (Minister of Defense)]

If we become allies with the Song nation again,
we might face invasion once more.

Please retract your decision!

STOP!

Please stop now.

I told you it was my decision.

I, as the King of this nation,
have made this decision!

Majesty... Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Call the physician!

Your Majesty!

What happened?

His Majesty has just now fallen asleep.

Goh Hyun

He fainted at the assembly hall.
What happened?

Queen Munwha

Actually, he is still suffering after
affects of that poison arrow from before.

You mean that poison is still in his body?

Why can't you heal him completely?

To be honest, it's very difficult.

Only if he could lower his blood pressure,
by taking it easy in his daily affairs.

What happened during the
meeting at the assembly hall?

Accept this.

It's a farewell gift.

Your gift was freeing the prisoners.

That was your wish,
and this is from my heart.

This was made by our best bow maker...

So it should fit you very well.

Thank you.

All my harsh acts upon you,
I hope you can forget them all.

I had no malicious intent toward you.

I just wanted to see your mettle.

I was merely giving you a test.

Whatever the case may be,
you are freeing us.

In the future, I will not
forget your generosity.

That arrow, when it finds its mark,

I hope it is not meant for me.

Honestly.

So... What are you seeking?

With the Khitan... I wish
for sole trading rights.

Sole trading rights?

That's right.

To fight His Majesty,
we need a large sum of money.

In addition, through trading, our people
can interact with each other,

which will strengthen our bond.

So true. I have selected the right person.

Alright, I will give you my support.

Thank you, Chancellor.

Since you're not fully healed,
it will be difficult to ride a horse,

so I'll send you my carriage.

You do so much...

I am truly grateful.

Just remember... If you betray us,

even if you end up in hell,

you will regret ever meeting me.

With regard to regrets,
it will never happen.

Trust me.

At a glance, I believe I am about to win.

It appears so...

With your skills, I am no match for you.

Just wait and see...

I will never submit to
you a second time around.

I will make you regret, all the way down...

to your bones, for letting me live.

I wish for our great nation and Goryeo
to forget about our past wars,

and to forge a strong bond that will
last for more than 1000 years.

So in gesture,

I wish for Goryeo's king
and our royal princess

to wed in order to show
the world of our bond.

I want the envoy to convey
my wishes to your King.

Your grace is immeasurable!

Do you know why I am sending you
as a concubine to Goryeo's king?

Yes, Your Highness.

My father told me the reason.

You're going to have to live as an enemy.

Do you have the confidence to deal
with the ordeal and the hardship?

I shall endure it.

Xiao Zanli

No matter how difficult it might get, for
the sake of our empire, I will endure it.

There is much to be done
before you leave for Goryeo.

The two of you must train her not only
martial arts, but also in the use of poison.

Yes, Chancellor.

Duyan?

Yes, Your Highness.

You must teach her how to seduce
a man and all that goes with it.

If it's that, you have
nothing to worry about.

If you use the teachings
of these two properly,

you will have no problem in
controlling Goryeo's king.

Why don't you try and take hold of
Goryeo's fate into your little hands.

I shall heed your words, Your Highness.

Stand up.

Give me some water.

Even as prisoners, they should be treated
with some decency as human beings.

If you wish to be treated as human beings,

why don't you surrender and join us?

Until then, you are considered as an animal.

Look here! STOP!

I am Balhaen!

Shin!

Shin!

Shin!

Shin, do you remember?

This is Jeongjahn City.

And if you cross this Yalu river,
it is the land of Goryeo.

Absu: current Amnok/Yalu River

Now, go in peace.

In memory of Jeongjahn land,

also for Goryeo's land
that we wanted to reach...

travel to your heart�s content.

I am sorry for not keeping my
promise of coming here together.

But I will keep my other
promise, most definitely.

I will transform Goryeo into
the greatness of Gogoryeo,

and definitely take your revenge for you.

Drillmaster Gang, I will promise
on your brother's spilled blood,

I shall conquer Khitan, and Goryeo
will be the owner of these lands.

Just wait and see.

I will make sure, Empress Xiao Chengtian
will kneel before me at my feet.

Yes, My Lady.

When that time comes,
I will stand at the forefront.

Wow, it's a bulls eye!

Shoot again.

Fit this in, look at the target,
and let it fly. Two, three...

Another bulls eye!

You're an archer like no other,
even for His Majesty's best archer.

You will hit 100 of 100 times!
1000 of 1000 times! You'll never miss!

That's enough. Give me another arrow.

Oh! Yes, here it is.

Prince, it's time to attend class.

Much time has passed...

- It's time to attend class and study.
- Hey!

You talk too much.

Can't you see the Prince concentrating?

Prince shall do as he pleases.

How dare an eunuch question His Highness?
How imprudent of you?

Practicing archery should
be done in moderation.

- It's His Majesty's advice.
- Be quiet!

I wanted to take it easy on
you, but you have no fear.

If you're not quiet, I will hang your
lips over there and shoot it as a target.

Prince Gaeryeong?

[Wang Song (Future King Mokjong)]

I have been watching you all this time.

Why have you been so lazy
with your studies lately?

His Majesty has granted you

permission to practice archery, upon your
diligence in keeping up with your studies.

Since His Majesty isn't
feeling all that well,

you should be studying even more, instead of
being outside. You shouldn't be doing that.

I can't just let you be.

For now, you are forbidden to practice archery.

I don't agree.

What?

Did you say, you don't agree?

Since my mother's tragedy,
I haven't even laughed one day.

I use archery as my
way of consoling myself,

so if that is your wish,
I can't abide with your wish.

What you're saying is, due to that reason,
you have been neglecting your studies?

For you, who will become King of
our nation, use archery for solace.

Do you think it�s the time for that?

You've also picked up bad behaviors.

How dare you say no to your mother?
Where did you learn this bad habit?!

How are you my mother?!

What?

I will do as I please.

Studying... being a king... I hate it all.

I am sick and tired of everything!

So... please, just please, leave me alone!

Prince, what's wrong?

Song? Song?

Attendant Jo? Are you outside?!
Call a physician!

Doctor!

Is the physician here?

What are doing?

I apologize. It's an urgent matter.

Court Lady Jo

What's going on?

Your Majesty, please send a
physician to the Queen's chamber.

The Prince has lost consciousness.

What?!

Your Majesty, you mustn't get up right now.

The Prince... The Prince is said to
have lost his consciousness!

What is it?

It... It is...

Answer me.

How? How did this happen?

Your Majesty, forgive me for saying
this, but I believe it's epilepsy.

What?!

Epilepsy? What are you saying?!

This child is my successor

to the throne who will eventually lead
this nation, so how can it be an epilepsy?!

The last time he lost his consciousness,
I had my suspicions, but...

Now I'm fairly sure.

Last time?

So you are saying,
it has happened before?

Yes, Your Majesty.

When he heard the news about his mother,
he did lose his consciousness like today.

What are we suppose to do now?

You do have treatment for this, right?

Forgive me, but a
treatment is not possible.

Not possible? What are you saying?

Not only is epilepsy untreatable, but in the future,

his seizures will occur even more
frequently, without any warning.

Perhaps, his ascension to
the throne might be unlikely.

Watch your mouth, you wretch!

Why didn't you diagnose this problem before?

The last time, I'd hoped it was only a possibility
and I didn't have any definite signs of epilepsy.

And also, I thought it might have
been from the shock he received.

Forgive me, forgive me.

This can't be. Absolutely not. No!

Your Majesty? Are you alright?

This can't be. This child is suppose
to lead this nation in the future.

This can't be!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Wake up! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, are you awake?

Can you see me?

What about the Prince? The Prince?

Fortunately, he is awake. But he doesn't
remember his past epileptic episodes.

Your Majesty, your health at the
moment takes priority over the Prince.

As of now, your condition will prevent
you from presiding over the assembly.

What are you saying?

The poison is still in your system,

so you must be treated for at least a month.

Also, you must not get excited.
It's very important to remain calm at all times.

My Queen?

Yes, Your Majesty?

You must reside over the
assembly on my behalf.

Please don't speak.
Don't worry about anything,

and just concentrate on
recovering your health.

Heed my words, because this
nation is in dire straits.

Since His Majesty is unable to reside over
affairs, so I will be his representative.

So, you cannot reveal the Prince's illness.

If his illness is revealed somehow,

they will take the initiative to have
him removed as the Crown Prince.

Therefore, until His Majesty recovers,
no one is to know.

By chance, if this news is revealed,
the three of you will die by my hands.

Do you understand?

Answer me! Do you understand?!

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, is it true?

His Majesty fainted again?

How is he? Is it the same as the last time?

Yes, even though, there is
nothing to worry about,

he has to receive treatment
for at least a month.

That is why, I must reside
over all the affairs.

You are?! Did His Majesty
give such an order?

Han Ungong

Yes.

That's not important right now.

[Han Ingyeong (Minister of the Interior)]

Since His Majesty has fainted, we
must make our visit to see him.

That is not possible.

Not possible?

Give your explanation.

Yes.

As all of you know very
well from the last time,

the poison from the arrow
is still present in his system.

Therefore, he has to receive treatment
until all the poison is out of his system.

He has stay away from anything
that can trigger his blood pressure.

During this time, he has
to stay calm at all costs.

Due to his incapacity,

I'll be his representative and join
you in all meetings regarding our nation.

However, Your Highness,

it should be the Prince who
represents His Majesty, regardless.

Forgive me, but you should not be...

That's not necessarily true,
since the Prince is still young.

[Choi Ryang (Chief Advisor)]

If we all completely support Her Highness,
we can avoid any major problems.

I agree with his assessment.

What can a child do in that seat?

[Kim Won Soong (Chief of the Office of Astronomical Observation)]

Also, it's only temporary as you stated.

I know I am lacking,

but if all of you help me out,

I believe I am capable of doing a
good job in his place for the month.

Therefore, I want all of you with one mind,
one thought, to help me sincerely.

It is His Majesty's wish, so I
expect no resistance from you.

Everyone listen, I know
Her Highness very well!

Hey, Sa Gamun, it's me! It's me!

He raised his hands at me
because he is happy to see me.

That's Sa Gamun, he serves Her Highness,
and he has a high position.

Hooray!

What?!

What did you just say?!

Lady Sungdeok is on her way back alive?

Yes, Your Highness.

I just received the news from Ahnboek City.

How can that be? Didn't the
Khitan send us her armor already?

Because of the war, there
must have been some mistake.

She was said to be a prisoner of war,
and she has been there ever since.

How can this be?

We already had her funeral,
and she is still alive.

That's not all...

the Empress of Khitan was so
enamored with Lady Sungdeok,

she released all of Goryeo's
prisoners to return with her.

Even the prisoners?! What great news!

Yes, it's great news!

As I've heard, the citizens of
Seogyeong are rejoicing to the Heavens.

She has already achieved
great honor during the war,

but to have the prisoners
released along with her,

it's like her returning a hero.

Now, His Majesty can alleviate his guilt.

Congratulation, Your Highness.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

It seems as though the Heavens
have listened to our prayers,

seeing all that has transpired.

Your Highness, you must share
this news with His Majesty.

He will be delighted.

No it's not possible.

Didn't I say he can't
receive anything shocking.

But, Your Highness, this is not some
bad news. Instead, it's good news.

Who knows, maybe after hearing
of this news, he might just get up.

That can't happen. Didn't you
hear what the physician said?

Bad or good news is not important,

because he has to
remain calm at all times.

Whatever the news, he cannot be
bothered for the sake of his health.

My Lady? How much have you suffered?

Court Lady Yun

Welcome back. Welcome back, My Lady.

Have you been well, Court Lady Yun?

Everyone, it's been a while?

Believing you were dead,

Yi Jujeong

I thought the Heavens
were crumbling down on me,

but to see you come back alive like this...

Are you really My Lady?

This isn't some dream, right?

I came back alive, so why
are you crying? Now get up.

Hyang Bi, are you hurt anywhere?

It's been a long time.
Have you been well?

[Sun (Future Queen Sunjeong)]

Yes, My Lady...

I didn't think I would ever see you again,

so to see you like this, I'm glad.

Court Lady Yun, give out rations to all of them.

I'm going to the shrine and I will be
heading to Gaegyeong right after.

Yes, My Lady.

Grandmother, I came back,

but my heart is heavier than when I left.

I must cut all bloodlines,

and make a strong nation
that will be second to none.

So, please look over me.

Your Majesty, I have committed
an unforgivable sin.

The Su you knew before, died in Khitan.

From now on, I will do what
it takes to lead this nation.

I'll apologize in death, so please
forgive me, Your Majesty.

Why have you called me so late at night?

Did His Majesty's illness get worse?

No. You have no idea why?

By chance, is it about Lady Sungdeok?

[Choi Seom (Councilor of the Royal Secretariat)]

Yes. Did you see this as good news?

Not at all. She will be
coming after me now.

While His Majesty is in bed,
she became a war hero,

and now she even brought back the prisoners.

She is the mother of the Crown Prince.

Yes she is, even though
nothing like that should happen,

but if something happened to His Majesty,

this nation will be at her mercy.

If that happens,

you and my father will be
the first ones to feel her wrath.

Am I not right?

Of course... I was comforted
thinking she was dead.

She is alive and she is coming back,
so please tell me your plans.

Don't we need something in
order to fight against her?

But, during the war,

we became politically weak
because of our stance.

Without regaining our political power, we
cannot outmatch the other political faction.

Then, what are we going to do?

Your Highness, why don't
you meet with her first?

We have no excuse to
block her at the moment.

However, she mustn't meet with His Majesty.

He is going to believe all
her words from the past.

Then... you must prevent that from happening.

Maybe His Majesty currently being bedridden
might be a blessing in disguise.

Meet with her, and find
out what she is thinking.

By chance, if she has bad thoughts...

If she is?

We must go to war?

Between the two sides,
one or the other must perish.

My Lady, we give you our greeting!

We give you our greeting!

My Lady, we give you our greeting.

We greet you!

It has been a long time, Minister?

Yes, My Lady. Seeing you
like this feels like a dream.

I will prove it's not a dream right
after I meet with His Majesty.

Is His Majesty in the assembly hall?

My Lady... That is...

Your Highness, Lady Sungdeok is present.

Let her in.

Yes.

Welcome, Lady Sungdeok.

So, you were safe after all.

It has been a long time, Your Highness.

Have you been well?

How can a dead person come here?

Song?!

I am going to follow you
and go with you, Mother.

I am afraid of her.

Just as if she returned from hell.

- Is this a dream?
- Why are you like this?

Su... You were alive... alive.

Lady Sungdeok is in his chambers!

Since all this happened,
we can't just stand idly by.

If His Majesty lives, we will regret it.
So we must get rid of him.

Most definitely.
