Princess...?

His Majesty is present...

Clear his path.

Your Majesty, what brings you all the way here?

Your Majesty, Lord Yushin captured the criminal who had attempted to harm Lord Seohyeon.

It wasn't Doekman from Yonghwa Hyangdo,

but instead, it was a trainee from Ihwa Jongdo.

So it wasn't that trainee, right?

No, Your Majesty.

He committed suicide right after he mentioned the fact that

as a citizen of the great Gaya, he held a grudge against Lord Seohyeon.

Therefore, unveiling the puppet master will be difficult.

Is that right?

While I was headed for Yeorae Temple, he looked after me and gave me strength.

Not to mention, that child played a big part with his help in bringing Lord Seohyeon to Seorabeol.

For that very reason, I had requested Lord Yushin to take the child into his clan as a trainee.

Then why didn't you just reveal your identity as a princess, and have that child at your side.

If that's the case, then I'm certain he would have served me.

I just wanted that child to grow up without any bounds, and not be limited by only serving me.

Is he that valuable?

Yes, Your Majesty.

In other words, Deokman and Yushin are like my wings.

No, wait... I will certainly make them into that,

as my subordinates.

I understand.

Do as you wish.

Your grace is immeasurable, Sire.

But... you must be even more cautious now.

You must realize that meeting with a Hwarang will stir up misunderstandings,

but to meet with a trainee may bring even more furor.

Yes, I understand.

Call Daedeung Eulje.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Are you alright?

Lord Yushin...?

Where am I?

You saw it, right?

That female monk... she is...?

She is the princess.

So, I wasn't dreaming?

Princess is making her entrance.

Hey... You.. you really are...

Hey, you wretch! Get on your knees and pay your respects, pronto.

There's no need. We are friends.

No, you must not allow it.

Are you feeling better?

Well... Yes, Ma'am.

Because of our meetings, you've suffered a lot.

That is....

You're too much...

You didn't mention a peep about you being a princess.

When you first met me,

you didn't come close to treating like a princess, let alone as a human being.

You'd even refused to be my bodyguard.

That..is...

Lord Yushin was the same.

And still, the both of you ended up saving me.

Whatever it may be, I would like to do it together with the both of you.

What? Your Majesty...

Are you saying, you want Princess Cheonmyeong to take on that task?

Yes, I do.

For the princess to take on that task only means...

I want Cheonmyeong to become as powerful as Mishil.

Not only the big tasks but even the smallest tasks are done one by one.

Naturally the Hwarangs, but even the trainees are kept under her control...

That is what Mishil has accomplished.

In regards to this task, it will reveal how and when Mishil first obtained all her power.

Don't you think Cheonmyeong standing against Mishil makes the most logical sense?

Weren't you curious about what my ideals are?

You were curious in wanting to know if my ideals were worthy enough to take on,

in spite of you having to forget about your mom, right?

What I'm trying to accomplish is...

To reclaim all of the Shilla king's rightful power that Mishil has taken unto herself.

And if you reclaim it...

Then what will you do with it, Ma'am?

Then, I'll just have to dream the impossible.

Dream the impossible...?

What is that...Ma'am?

There was a last will and testament left behind for His Majesty by King Jinheung.

He had said that when he thinks about Shilla citizens, lines of sweat run down his back.

Therefore, he wants us to have more dreams that are impossible.

I need to discover what that is, so that I can make it come true.

I sometimes think about what Sulji had once said to me when I spent time at Nangdo village.

"What did you do?" "What did you do?"

And you've done something, but I haven't done anything.

I will surely do something as well.

Let's do it together.

I am very disappointed in you, my son.

Your work was very poorly done.

If I had stepped in and killed everyone involved...

Then you, Lord Seolwon would not be here today.

You only kill someone... when that person becomes useless to you.

If that person is talented and useful,

then I will certainly take measures to make sure that person is on my side.

My son, as you look at things, you must believe that we have obtained everything.

Do we look that strong?

No way... Not at all!

The reason why everyone acknowledges us is because we are not the king.

And if we try to become the king, then we have no way of knowing how things will turn out.

Unfortunately,

we are not of royal lineage.

We have no rightful claim.

That's why...

Compared to those people...

we need more people on our side.

However, Mother for your sake father and I will...

Bojong, keep your mouth shut.

You and I aren't the only people who are loyal to Seju.

Seju = Mishil's title

Everyone is... but the difference between me and them is that

I always believe in Seju, no matter what.

To me, Seju is always right, and she will always be above me.

That is what I believe.

Mother.

What brings you here?

Lady Manmyeong and Kim Seohyeon request your audience.

They are waiting for you at your office.

Since they had their status of Jingeol reinstated, they came to receive their edict.

Is that so?

That's a good thing,

since I had in mind to meet with him at least once.

It's nice of the both you to have come.

Please have a seat.

I will hand over the edict right away.

I'm just wondering... Why do you choose to be on his majesty's side?

As you are aware, his majesty does not have a crown prince.

Therefore, the only person that can give you all the things that you desire is me, Mishil.

What are you implying?

What do yo mean by what I desire?

Please put aside your facade.

Lord Seohyeon, don't you have ambitions that are as big as mine?

By chance, are you trying to imply that love was a factor

in making the illicit union with Princess Manmyeong?

Please watch what you're saying!

By all means, I'm sure it was all because of love.

I do not doubt that at all.

Just, as a human being, it's not always that simple.

I'm talking about Lord Seohyeon's love.

Are you absolutely confident that there are no hidden motives

mixed in with the fact that he came to you after the fall of Gaya?

Lord Seohyeon ran away and put his family's fate and honor on the line.

You are amazing.

Lady Mishil.

With my status reinstated, and since you were only a consort of the late king...

What I'm saying is that, I am a royal princess!

So, I would appreciate it if you paid proper respect from now on.

Yes, Lady Manmyeong... Lord Kim Seohyeon.

This humble Mishil hereby gives you all my respect.

So, please understand my sincerity.

Please do worry about that.

Wife...

I was also a princess who lived as a Songeol, here at the palace.

When it comes to our love, there had to be at least some ambitions, right?

I chose to follow you,

just as you followed your own ideas and instincts.

I have also put on the line, the fate of my children and my own life.

Even now, it's the same as before.

Find out Kim Seohyeon's weakest point.

It's his son, Yushin.

From his network of people, please find out who we can turn and bring onto our side.

There is no need to rush things.

Yes.

Also, come to think of it...

That trainee named, Deokman...

It appears as though the princess and he have a special relationship.

Even this time, the princess used her personal staffs to tend to his wounds.

I will see what I can find out.

I had no idea that Deokman and you met under those circumstances.

That's why I left him in your care, but you have no idea how much Deokman complains about you.

Anyhow, Princess....

Forgive me for saying this, but that is pretty rotten of you for bringing that up.

That's OK. It's only fair to talk behind someone's back when they aren't there.

It's not true. Lord Yushin... I have never insulted you.

Why would Daedeung Eulje...?

Have him enter.

What brings you here?

I have an edict from his majesty.

Please follow me.

His majesty's edict?

Yes.

Why don't the both of you wait here for a minute.

Yes.

Princess, please come with me.

Was there really such a place like this that existed underneath his majesty's chamber?

Yes.

It's a secret storage room for the royal family.

Bi Go = secret storage room

You are now permitted to come and go as you please, per his majesty's edict.

Is that his majesty's edict?

No.

This is...?

This is a decree given to Munno from King Jinheung.

Mishil's source of power... Find it.

Yes... The late king was certain in believing that Mishil would be concealing something from his majesty

that should have been given from her to him, for the late king.

Maybe that is what the late king meant by Mishil's source of power.

That is why the late king had given this task to Munno.

However, I am led to believe that her power grew in part due to King Jinheung's support.

Yes... While King Jinheung was actively participating in war outside,

Mishil was able to take control of the nation's political affairs by using Hwarangs at the forefront.

However, there was a special circumstance that started it all.

By chance, are you talking about the drought during King Jinheung's era?

Yes... It was a drought like no other.

In such times, the citizens blame the king, and not the Heavens.

Yes, for that very reason, meteorologists set up a ceremonial ritual,

in an attempt to induce rain from above.

Yes, but talking about that...

Following recommendations from the meteorologist,

the late king held eight ceremonial rituals, but the rains never came.

Il Gwan~Meteorologist or weather observer

But then Mishil, who had an extremely high fever, dragged herself to the ritual altar...

started to pray with hot tears running down her face...

and then, the Heavens parted and it started to rain.

From then on, the citizens thought of Mishil as a demigod.

Thereafter, Mishil not only presided over all ceremonial rituals for rain, but all other ceremonies as well.

Yes, usually a female from a royal family,

and especially a princess, would normally preside over the ceremonial rituals.

At that time, since King Jinheung was always at war,

and since Mishil was very popular amongst the people and was able to get the job done,

Joongmang = popular

so she ended up as the one.

But now, Mishil shares half of all divine authority rights that would otherwise belong to the king.

But, Mishil was still able to rise in power.

And in the end, what should have belonged to the king was taken away.

Yes, for that very reason, his majesty had summoned Munno to secretly to find out what that source was.

Then, was Munno able to find out what that was?

No... but he did leave this behind.

As you are aware,

Imjung has now taken over for Munno in protecting this king's nation and its citizens.

And...?

And once a year, Imjung presides over a ritual at Munno's training facility.

Yes. After the war, we went there as well.

It was around five days ago.

That night, Imjung found this underneath the ritual table.

Then, this has written accounts of Munno's whereabouts?

You may know by looking through it, as Munno put a lot of effort into searching through that place.

Where is that place?

It's Dancheon prayer chapel in Mount Yeoham.

Dancheon prayer chapel?

I don't know the reason, but Munno has written down numerous accounts of him checking out this place.

*Maehwa = plum blossom

Then, what is this "Sadaham's *Maehwa"?

Right here... It says "Sadaham's Maehwa".

Why is this written here?

I'm not too sure.

He must have written that there as he was investigating Mishil.

Do you think "Sadaham's Maehwa" is linked to Mishil?

It is significant to Mishil's first love.

Perhaps so, but it seems as though you've never heard of it.

This is my first time hearing about this as well.

At the lovely age of 18, Mishil and Lord Sadaham fell in love.

But, Lord Sadaham had to head out for a war against great Gaya.

When he returned, Lady Mishil and Lord Sejong had already married.

Soon after, he took his own life coinciding along with the death of his friend, Lord Mugang.

The very day of his death,

Sadaham had left something for Mishil for the last time.

That was, "Maehwa".

"Maehwa", did you say?

Since Sadaham's life ended at Dongbaek fields, I guess "Maehwa" signifies him in someway.

But, why do you think Munno wrote down "Sadaham's Maehwa" in this journal?

Did you say that Sadaham's Maehwa is coming?

Yes... I just confirmed the message that came from the merchants that are arriving.

Very well done.

We have waited so long for this.

That's right.

You're about to have your hands full.

Yae Bu Ryeong = protocol officer

As a Yae Bu Ryeong, it's my responsibility, so please leave all that to me.

When will they arrive at Seorabeol?

In about 10 days.

I see.

It's been a long time in waiting for Sadaham's Maehwa.

Then, what is this edict that his majesty summoned us for?

It is this...

It's to finish what Munno had started.

For us too?

King Jinheung believed that there must be a reason for Mishil's source of power.

Also, there must be a reason why Munno was so keen on searching through

Dancheon prayer chapel in mount Yeoham.

The envoy led by Xiu nation's General Wangjeol has just left Danghan Fortress.

There's a message stating they'll arrive here at Seorabeol in 10 days.

I see... So, is he bringing with him what we requested beforehand?

That hasn't been confirmed yet.

Even if they bring it, they won't easily reveal that. So please do not be too disappointed.

Within this envoy, what merchants are included?

Amongst Xiu's merchants,

obviously Arab and India merchants are included.

Dae Shik Guk = Arab

Ma Gae Ta Guk = India

Also, merchants from Siam are on board this time as well.

Seom Ra Guk~Siam or present day Thailand

Then, I believe many rare items will be brought here this time.

I want you to inform the military and Hwarangs, so that they may start getting things properly prepared.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Although the royal kitchen will provide the meals for the envoy,

you will be in charge of providing meals for the merchants.

So, you should start preparing a menu.

Yes, we understand.

Is that true? Are we really going to prepare the merchants' meals?

This must be your first time... We're always in charge of preparing merchants' meals.

Wow.

Also, this was brought here, with difficulty, by a Xiu merchant,

with the India merchant in mind. This is called "Ga Ri".

Ga Ri=Curry

The recipe is inside, so make sure you have things prepared ahead of time.

It's very valuable, so be careful with it. Indeed, you must be extremely careful.

Yes.

- Wait a bit, before you eat this, you wretch! - It's okay.

We've been put in charge of making meals for the merchants.

What? The merchants are coming?

Hey... Then we will have a temporary break from training.

What? While the merchants are here, there's no training?

You punks of Yonghwa Hyando aren't even aware of this?

Like us!

You've never been bodyguards for the merchants either, right?

To be honest, with Lord Yushin being so snotty, how would you guys know?

Wow, for once, you punks from Cheongryeong are actually saying something that is right.

You guys are right.

Even if everyone went out for a drink, Lord Yushin would be training..still training.

Hey... You know it's not like that.

Of course, he's the type who'd finish drinks and then train.

I hate that even more, you wretch. It's worse!

Samwol? Here... have this.

Ahh.

One more?

The envoy's bodyguard duty will be handled by the military.

And the merchant's bodyguard duty will be handled by Ilhwa Jongdo and Cheonryeong Ikdo.

Yes.

Yes.

Lord Archeon, Lord Seonyeol, and Lord Deokchung will have the dance hall prepared.

Yes.

Lord Imjung, Lord Wangyun, and Lord Piltan will be in charge of music performance.

Yes.

Lord Daenambo and Lord Bakui will help Lord Hojae take care all other matters pertaining to the merchants.

- Yes. - Yes.

Although the envoy is familiar to us,

meeting with the merchants will give all of you a rare opportunity to learn about the other nation's cultures.

With the language that you have learned, use that as a means of diplomacy and to befriend them.

Yes.

However, why don't I see Lord Yushin here?

I had him run an errand for me.

Let's go together!

Why are you running so much?

Without purposely training, doesn't this feel good.

What are you doing, not keeping up with me?

Let's go down and get some water first, OK?

How can you be this slow, even without any sandbags on you?

Are you leaving now?

Yes... since we are in need of many ryangs (money) and gold.

Yes... and on your way back, please stop by Mount Yeoham.

Mount Yeoham also?

I've heard that Daesa isn't feeling all that well from worrying too much.

Please pass on the good news.

Yes, Numin.

Let's go.

- Let's go. - Yes, Sir.

It's just boulders here.

Other than a nice view, there isn't much of anything here.

But, there must be a reason why Munno kept an eye on this place.

Speaking of the devil, everyone is always saying Munno, Munno...

But, what is so great about him?

Why are you so interested in Lord Munno?

Well... I have my reasons.

Hey, when someone is talking to you, shouldn't you at least be somewhat interested?

Along with all the trainees, what person doesn't have a reason?

Why don't we stop talking.

Let's look again.

Priestess Seori and Uncle Misaeng have secretly left together.

It seems the same occurrence repeats whenever the merchants come to town.

Yes, you're right.

I wonder what it is.

What exactly is Sadaham's Maehwa?

Anyways, you're guarding the merchants, so make sure you keep your eyes on them.

Also... keep your eyes on Lord Misaeng as well.

Anyway I look at it, I don't think it's Dancheon prayer chapel.

There's nothing there.

Starting with tomorrow's sunrise, we will visit this place before heading over to Nangmun.

What?

You better come everyday at sunrise.

What? Me too?

Why aren't you coming?

Please speak frankly.

You have no sense of direction, right?

I kind of sensed it during the war...

You're not too aware of where north, south, east, or west is located, right?

What nonsense are you talking about?

If you knew, then why are you headed on that road?

If I let you be, you might keep on going til you reach Gorguryeo.

I just wanted to get some water first, so just follow me.

It's a good place to quench your thirst.

Water, my foot.

You don't want any?

It's feels so cool.

Does that water taste good?

You should drink some as well.

Daesa does not wish to meet with anyone.

Sadaham's Maehwa will be coming in.

What?

Is that for real?

That's right. A merchant that is coming will be bringing it over.

Ah, yes. Please come on in.

I will ask him again.

The two of you follow me and the rest of you remain here.

Yes, Sir.

That's it!

That...!

It's about Mishil's love story...

I'm certain it is very important.

There must be a secret.

Let's get out of here fast. We must inform the princess.

*Maehwa = Plum blossom

Did you just say, Sadaham's *Maehwa?

Sadaham's Maehwa will be brought in by a merchant?

That is what we heard.

I'm certain there is another reason why Lord Munno wrote that in there.

Sadaham's Maehwa...?

Sadaham's Maehwa...?

Do you still blame yourself?

Have you come?

When it comes to that person, you are always the same.

We made a promise underneath this tree.

When he comes back from the war, then we will get married.

I...

could not keep that promise.

Nope.

I didn't keep that promise.

Even so, that person has always waited for me underneath this tree.

With other men, they always tried to gain something from me.

As much as they gave, they wanted that much more in return.

However, that person...

Lord Sadaham only wanted to give.

Sadaham

Young Mishil

If Lord Sadaham hadn't given that to me...

Then, I could I have this position.

Just like that...

All he wanted to do was just believe in me.

So how could I... forget him.

Did the matter go well?

Due to the massive volume coming in from the envoy, I'm worried that it won't be so easy.

We have to give it a try.

Also, that person at Yeoham prayer chapel... he would like to meet with you.

Who, me?

Yes.

It appeared to me that he had something else in mind to discuss with you.

Is that right?

Is this the one?

Yes... he is Daenambo, the one whom I was talking about.

Daenambo (one of the 10 elite Hwarangs)

He is the leader of Baekho Bido clan.

Out of all my sons, he is regarded as the best martial artist.

So...

Do you have confidence in your martial arts skills?

But, my skills aren't up to par with Lord Bojong yet.

Surpass him...

Surpass Bojong.

You will now follow Seju everywhere, like her shadow.

Can you do it?

I will do my utmost best.

Follow me.

By whatever means, we must get near the merchants.

Yes, we must find the merchant who will be bringing in the Sadaham's Maehwa.

However, it won't be that easy entering into quarters where the merchants will be residing.

Bodyguard... What if we became their bodyguard?

Ihwa Jongdo has always been responsible for guarding the merchants.

The victor from the Dae Beejae and Danho Beejae has always been in charge, by tradition.

What about for the performance?

Lord Yushin, you can dance a little, right?

That is also assigned to Hwarangs who have at least one victory at a beejae.

But, you're the princess...

With your authority as a princess, why don't you put us in as well?

Everything is under the authority of the protocol officer, Lord Misaeng.

For now, I will try to find a way, so just wait a bit longer.

Please go in, Uncle.

Why on earth did we come here?

We came to Gibang to drink some alcohol, what else?

Take very good care of him, ladies.

OK, OK... I know.

Oh, OK...

Uncle, please don't be like that between the two of us.

What are you talking about, my nephew?

So, what is it?

Why are you so busy whenever the envoy and merchants come into town?

So, does it seem that odd to you when I am busy,

knowing that I'm the officer of Yebu who is in charge of envoys?

Don't be like that.

I am not the same as Seolwon and Bojong.

No, you are not.

That's right.

Then, I should at least know one more than Bojong?

Am I not right?

You do have a point.

Therefore...

What are you doing secretly whenever the envoy arrives? Tell me....

Well, that is...

To be honest... Whenever the envoy arrives...

Yes?

Sir Jang...

Yes?

Brings with him a penguin's scrotum and penis that will increase the sexual appetites in men.

For real?

Yes, of course!

- Penis...? - Mmmm.

Shhh, Uncle?!

Just look at his face! Look at his face!

There is a witness who saw Lord Misaeng and Priestess Seori

meeting with someone from Dancheon prayer chapel.

Who is that person?

They weren't able to get a clear look due to the heavy guard presence.

However, they overheard them talking about a merchant who will bring in Sadaham's Maehwa.

If it's referring to Sadaham's Maehwa,

then it's the one written down by Munno in his journal that he left behind.

Yes.

Go get it.

Go with Kim Seohyeon right away to Dancheon prayer chapel and search everything.

Do not give them any chance to react. Do not.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What's the matter?

A Baekje spy is hiding here somewhere.

What?

- Have them start. - Yes, Sir.

- Everyone split up and search the premises. - Yes, Sir!

What brings you here this late at night?

Seju... What brings you here?

Whenever I need to rest in peace, I come here.

Something big must have happened.

In the midst of investigating that spy incident,

we found out that one of the spies came running over here.

Then... By all means search the premises.

- Search the place. - Yes, Sir.

There's nothing here.

There's nothing here.

There's nothing here.

You must have missed him.

If not, then maybe you saw it wrong due to this dark night.

You have worked very hard in the middle of the night.

We apologize for making so much raucous.

Let's go.

There is definitely something there.

The fact that Lady Mishil was there makes it even more obvious.

We should try next time.

There is no next time.

Mishil is now aware of the fact that we know.

From now on, this place is over and done with.

We've just committed a "Ta Cho Gyeong Sa" error.

Ta Cho Gyeong Sa (Doing something unnecessary and causing repercussions)

Nunim?

Nunim, what happened?

So, did Kim Seohyeon come here with soldiers?

Did he find it?

He didn't find it, right?

Of course not! Of course not!

How can they find it?

With what methods?

So?

Are you saying you did well?

What?

How can you take care of things like this?

I apologize.

To our relief...

They weren't able to find it.

Of course not.

Even if they brought in 100 or 200 soldiers, how could they find it?

What they should be looking for is not a merchandise,

but, a person.

You must have been very frightened.

Now, you must move to a different location.

Please begin your preparation.

I apologize.

For Mishil to intervene and conceal it...

What on earth is this Sadaham's Maehwa?

Are you certain that Sadaham's Maehwa will be brought here by a merchant?

Yes, Your Majesty. The princess has mentioned this fact.

Then...

Are you saying that the only thing we can do is keep a watchful eye on the merchants?

Somehow, we need to get in contact with the merchants.

Meeting with them won't be too difficult.

But, keeping a watchful eye on them while they're residing in their quarters will be very difficult.

Why don't we just go in and...

It will be difficult because Bojong is in charge of bodyguard duty.

So then, are we just going to let this golden opportunity pass us by?

Who did this?

Who?

Didn't I say this curry is valuable?

How many times did I mention to all of you to be very careful with this?

After going through all the trouble of obtaining it, and now to see it being wasted like this...

Who did this?

Come forward, right now!

What am I suppose to do now...?

I'm as good as dead now!

Please save me... Please save me.

OK, please have a seat... have a seat.

Please don't cry..., don't cry. Just because you cry, it won't bring back an old love.

It's OK, it's OK,

but you have to tell me what your problem is, in order for me to figure out if I can save you or not.

You know that yellow... It's that strange powder.

A strange yellow powder...?

They told us to be careful with it because since it is so rare, but...

I was trying to do something with it, and it just...

What is that then?

Gi.. Ga.. Gari.. G..ari.. Gari!

Gari = Curry

Gari?

Since you're familiar with herbal medicine, can you get that for me, please?

Please save me, please...!

Please save me, please...!

OK, OK, Ok... Gari.. gari.. gari. Where is that gari?

Even if you wenches keep your mouth shut, I will find out somehow and hand out death.

Even if you find out, it still won't help out with this situation.

It's already unusable.

That is why we need to at least find the wench who did this!

I don't see Samwol.

Samwol...?

Is there really no way around it?

If we act too rashly, then the same thing will happen like the last time.

For now, let's keep an eye on Lord Misaeng's movements.

Yes, Sir.

Please save me, please!

I am quite knowledgeable in many things, but this is the first time I've heard of that.

Gari Ban = Curry rice

Gari Ban... What is this Gari Ban?

Gari Ban?

Perhaps, are you talking about curry rice?

Do you know?

D..D..Deokman..., do you know it?

What is this curry rice?

That's right, Deokman. You came from a far away place, so you should know it!

That is what people from Cheon Chuk Guk eat often.

Cheon Chuk Guk = India

I have to make it right away! So, what can I use to make that now?

What...?

I mean, you have to mix it with some spices in order to make it,

but I don't know much and I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist here in Gaerim.

What are talking about?

Ah Chul! Ah Chul root is needed!

Ah Chul (Ingredient for curry that is found in China)

But, it doesn't exist here in Gaerim.

Ah Chul?

Do you know Ah Chul..., Ah Chul?

I don't know.

You wench!

Is there really nothing left?

Did you really spill all of it?

I acquired it on purpose to give to a special guest.

Do you realize how grateful a person will be

when they are able to dine on cuisine of their homeland, after long and weary travel?

If I am unable to serve curry rice and this causes a rift between us,

your life will be...

This trainee knows of it.

Huh?

Didn't you say so?

You said that if Ah Chul was acquired, then you would know how to make it.

I didn't say... that I was certain.

Is that true?

Ummm... That is... I'm not certain if it's possible to obtain Ah Chul.

Ah Chul...?

What is that?

Why don't you start.

Yes, Sir.

I don't know how to say it using a Gaerim word. It's called Ah Chul...

Ah Chul?

It has an odor, and it's more of a root...

It's Chik... Chik.

No, it's not that.

San Wu = Yam

Ahh, then it's a San Wu!

No, it's not. It's yellow in color.

Then, it must the Chamae... Chamae.

Chamae = Korean melon

He said it was a root.

What I'm saying is... It's a root that is yellow in color.

You eat it as a powder, and it smells. It has a very unique tingling smell to it.

Everyone... From now on, go and find whatever this person says.

If you cannot find it, then none of you will be safe.

Do you understand?

Yes, Sir!

Hurry.

We've notified that the merchants will be arriving here at Seorabeol by tomorrow.

I see.

Then, the time is too short for us to match the amount of gold that is needed.

I will try and acquire them from other places.

Yes, I understand.

Sir Wolcheon asked me this time to definitely acquire Sadaham's Maehwa at whatever the cost.

If we don't, then we can no longer proceed.

It's not this.

Go.

It's not this either?

No...

Anyhow, are you sure you know what you're looking for?

Since we looked and weren't able to find it,

then that means it doesn't grow here in Gaerim, am I not right?

Even if we have to search all the mountains in Gaerim, then that is what we will do.

Yes, Sir.

I...

Did you find it?

No, but that is... I did bring something...

Let's see it.

That is... Even if this isn't it, you cannot punish me, OK?

What is it? Let's see it.

Yea.. Yea.. Yea.

The way I look at this, it is yellowish in color and has an odor of sorts,

but, I don't know how to say this, it is very similar to...

Do you need to be beaten in order for you to show it?

- Isn't this Uel Geum? - Uel Geum?

Uel Geum (During Shilla era, used for dye)

You mean the Uel Geum that is used to dye fabrics?

You think it's feasible for a person to eat Uel Geum?

Does that make sense?

You wretch, even if you weren't able to find anything,

how could you think of this dye?

This is the one!

This is used as an ingredient in making curry rice!

For real?

Uel Geum...?

Are you positive?

Yes, I'm positive! I have done this before.

You've done it before?

You're talking about food? Where?

What?

That is...

My father was a merchant and he always brought all sorts of stuff, so...

Hey you, just follow me. Come here, follow me.

This guy knows how to make curry rice.

Is that right?

I'm a trainee! And you're telling me to cook?

Since this trainee knows how to make curry rice,

I want all of you to follow his orders, and prepare the meals for the merchants.

Yes, Sir!

Merchant?

You will be in charge of preparing merchant's meals.

Are you talking about me...?

You will have everything that you need. Therefore...

you cannot make any mistakes.

Why aren't you answering?

Yes, I understand.

And I'll require the services of Jukbang and Godo to gather up the ingredients that I need.

Alright.

Yes, that is fortunate. You did it.

You must keep a close eye on all of them.

It's definitely one of the merchants,

so if you have an inkling, then you must let us know right away.

Yes, Sir. Do not worry.

Since I have Jukbang and Godo with me,

if I need to relay a message, then I will send them right away.

OK, we understand.

Meeting you like this again, I am truly honored.

This is Lord Sejong. He will be in charge of all matters pertaining to this envoy.

You have endured many sufferings in order to come here from so far away.

Thank you for the warm greetings.

Even though, there are many more merchants that came with us,

please take good care of them as well.

But of course. So, please do not worry about anything.

Why don't you hurry and prepare the reception,

and I will escort the envoy into the assembly hall.

Alright then... His Majesty is waiting for you, so please do make your way there.

Preview of next episode.....

Amongst them, I am certain that one of them has brought in the Sadaham's Maehwa.

You must make sure to keep an eye on him.

He has always been intertwined with Mishil.

Disappeared...? Weren't you following him?

But then, all of a sudden, he just disappeared.

Find Lord Chilsuk!

Hurry! If the merchandise is authentic...

Then I will have it at whatever cost.

Then, why don't we confirm a place for us to meet tonight.

Both Bojong and Hajong are...

following Mishil with suspicion.

How could you keep Chilsuk as a secret?

Would all of you lords be inclined to keep all the secrets?

Since there can't be two Mishils...

if you want to be Mishil, then all you have to do is get rid of me.
