This drama is based on the life of On Dal, a Goguryeo general from the Yeoljeon (Biographies) of Samguksagi. The characters, events, and specific chronology may be different from history.

Episode 8

Your Majesty. General Go Geon asks to see you.

Tell him to come back later.

Wait, General!

Your subject, Go Geon, was waiting to be summoned from early this morning, Your Majesty.

I told you to come back later.

It's about the princess's safety.

Hey!

I didn't get anything. Nobody knows about Songhwa-dang.

But how can you just drink someone else's drink?

Man, don't get upset about that!

Jin, this guy is pettier than I thought.

Did you get any information?

It's the same for me, too. Nobody heard about that name.

Where's On Dal?

He said he has one more place to investigate.

I mean, he's not Ga Jin's husband!

It's Dal's personality.

If he decides he will protect someone, he will do it even if heaven splits into two pieces.

That's exactly the same with Ga Jin.

She's like that, too.

You're having a hard time since your friends are frustrating people.

Exactly.

Owner!

I guess today is a day where I have unwanted guests.

Actually, I'm a precious guest! Because I'm here to give you a chance to live.

Why are you here?

It's none of your business.

Where did you sneak out the tribute women that were to be sent to Northern Zhou?

I think you sold them to Silla. Tell me the route they took.

Tribute women?

Do you even buy and sell humans?

There's nothing you can't make a deal with.

It includes humans and their hearts.

I don't think you should act rashly without Gochuga knowing about it.

You might get reprimanded again.

It has nothing to do with my father.

That's not true.

Whose coffers do you think received half of the silver that we got for the price of the tribute women?

Are you saying the princess is mixed among the tribute women?

So General Go Geon launched the special forces,

and His Majesty ordered Hae Ji Wol to come into the palace now.

I see the princess is using any means to turn her own fortune inside out.

Then, I should follow what she wants to do.

Don't try to escape with such wicked words.

I'm here now by His Majesty's order! Tell me now where the tribute women went!

Wouldn't you rather cut my throat?

I'm giving you a chance to atone, but you're refusing it.

I'm not the only person who committed a crime.

I knew you would be like this, so I sent out my subordinates this dawn.

They'll check multiple routes going to Silla, so I'll figure it out even if you don't tell me.

Princess will keep the tribute women safe as well.

The Princess?

Her Highness went with them.

To save the people of Goguryeo!

The Princess?

Where is Ga Jin now?

I said, she's Her Highness!

General!

We searched the main roads, waterways, and docks, but no trace of the tribute women going to Silla.

I'll give you a last chance. Tell me the truth.

Why don't you cut off my tongue first and cut my throat?

Hae Mo Yong!

The squirrel road.

That's the road that poachers and the herb pickers from Silla use.

If anybody wants to sneak out without getting caught, that's the only way to go.

General! Are you really not going to regret this?

Tie up the store owner and take her away!

Yes, sir.

General!

General! Please don't do it!

Lead the way.

Just keep going.

Hey!

Stop there.

Who had this? Is it you!

What are you doing?

It dropped in front of your foot.

It's not mine. It's hers!

Stop it!

Drop your sword.

Don't drop it! These guys can't kill us anyway.

Shut up!

They paid tons of silver for our bodies! He can't kill me!

I said, drop the sword!

Just kill us all! I don't want to live like this anymore!

Kill me! Just kill me!

Just kill me!

Get away!

They left!

They left!

Don't worry.

Are you okay, Your Highness?

Dal.

Ga Jin.

Mo Yong...

What kind of disaster is this?

I think that the princess decided to ruin our Sonobu tribe!

Please calm down.

- Did Lord Kim also get caught? - No.

I heard that he ran away to Silla safely.

Then, it's fine.

You should hurry up and see Gochuga and find a way.

I'm already on the way back from seeing him. Gochuga is also an incompetent person.

He can't even handle his own child.

What do you want to tell me, Princess?

It's already embarrassing that we're offering Goguryeo's women as tributes.

They even snuck the women out and sold them to Silla.

The head of Sonobu did this.

If you said something you can't take responsibility for again, then you won't get away with it.

I saw it, heard it, and experienced it by myself.

Also, they're living witnesses.

Are you really tribute women who should've gone to Northern Zhou?

You may look at me.

Is that true?

That is true, Your Majesty.

That is true, Your Majesty!

It is not beneficial for a crying sound to go out of the palace.

Why don't we go inside for now, Your Majesty?

Why don't we do that, Your Majesty?

I think we should hear from Chief Hae as well.

Don't worry about it.

I'll solve this injustice for you.

Thank you.

Since there are too many products coming in and out of our Sonobu,

I think this unfortunate case happened.

It's not a product, they are humans!

They are precious women of Goguryeo!

How can you make such an excuse when you made a deal with Silla's merchant!

Chief Hae. What you did was stupid and wrong.

I'm deeply ashamed.

It's not a case to end with you being ashamed.

The crime of stealing tribute women and personally making a fortune with them!

The crime of violating the country's law and smuggling with the enemy, Silla!

All of these are significant crimes that can't be overlooked.

Let me correct one misunderstanding.

Chief Hae didn't do this for his personal wealth.

Actually, I asked for him to do it.

What are you talking about it, Gochuga?

To fill the national treasury facing bankruptcy,

I earnestly asked him if there was any way to add more silver.

I know he did it only out of fealty for this country.

- But that means— - General Go Geon should go to the royal storehouse and check the silver.

Yes, sir.

General!

Let's go back.

Gochuga is also an incompetent person. He can't even handle his own child.

He said I should bring the silver to the royal storehouse.

And he said he already put what he got from us.

It means he's suggesting to cut off the limbs to save the body.

Even so, the loss is so huge!

We have to live first to think about profits or losses.

Right now, saving our lives should come first.

The method of filling the royal treasury was foolish, but we shouldn't discount Chief Hae's fealty.

Also, if this case goes outside of the palace and the Northern Zhou learn about this,

it'll be harder to take care of it.

That's right! They'll say they were cheated and not let it go.

Chief Hae smuggled contraband with an enemy country.

But then, are we going to cover this up?

When one's meritorious act is bigger, his negligence can be considered trivial.

Please make a fair decision, Father!

Although Chief Hae's crime is obvious,

his loyalty to this country is praiseworthy.

Also, not to ruin our country's dignity and honor,

this case shouldn't be discussed outside of the palace.

Your Majesty!

If somebody who committed a crime doesn't get punished,

then that is a disgrace to the prestige of Goguryeo!

Princess.

My goodness!

The historian should write this down.

Even if someone has power and wealth, nobody can escape their sin if they violate the law.

That strictness is the spirit of King Jumong's founding of Goguryeo

and the principle of King Pyeongwon's reign today!

I only said this case shouldn't be told to the world.

Chief Hae's sin should be considered along with his meritorious deed.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

The first stroke of flogging!

The second stroke of flogging!

We committed a grave sin.

We committed a grave sin.

The third stroke of flogging!

I guess the next one to be executed will be you or me.

Chief Jin!

The fifth stroke of flogging!

Is it a punishment when you care about the offender's honor?

He's not just a regular person but the chief of Sonobu.

So if he got the sentence of flogging, that's already a big punishment.

We committed a grave sin!

The seventh stroke of flogging!

The ninth stroke of flogging!

The princess is going too wild!

Are you just going to stand-by and do nothing about her running around wildly?

Your Highness!

Please calm down.

I sent the tribute women safely back to their homes with some clothes and money.

I sent soldiers with the ones who live far away.

Thank you.

I couldn't have solved this case without you.

Then can you trust me now that I'm on your side, Your Highness?

I trust you.

But I bet Gochuga is very upset now.

I'll find a way for you about the order to go to the border.

No, it's a matter between my father and me.

Please don't worry about it, Your Highness.

I forgot to thank him for leading the way.

Please tell that to the hillbilly for me.

You could've looked the other way, but have settled the issue too severely, Your Majesty.

Since their crime is too plainly revealed, I can't just cover it up.

However, the subjects would be angry about it.

Are you saying that I, the King, should take care of how they might feel as well?

I heard that you also lifted the order given to the princess to be confined to her quarters.

You did well, as the palace will have more commotions from now on.

My Queen!

Tae Gam, bring me my medicine.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What? As you also have a mouth, are you going to add your words to it too?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What?

I think that it was the right decision to give the punishment of flogging to Lord Hae.

Although it was a difficult decision, you still kept the dignity of the King.

I, your humble son, am truly touched.

Take it away. Today, everything is a bother.

But it will help Your Majesty in sleeping deeply.

I said, take it away.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Stop sweeping. You're just stirring the dust.

Ma'am, shall I come live here too?

What is this nonsense in the middle of sweeping?

Since Orabeoni Dal is often not home, you must feel lonely.

If I live here, I will sweep the yard like this and run your errands too.

I think it would be so nice.

Hong Mae will be sad though.

These days, she's caring only for Chief, and I'm not on her mind at all.

At this rate, she might end up moving in with Chief, I think.

Look at this little brat. Are you badmouthing me when I'm not around?

How sly you are!

What? Did I say something wrong?

Whenever you say something, "Our dear chief, our dear chief!"

What a sight of unrequited love you have!

Oh my gosh... Sis, you just saw it, eh?

This is why they say you shouldn't take in an animal with black hair! (T/N: An old saying of caution about taking in a human.)

Cut it out. Is there still no news about the kids?

I know, right? I'm guessing they will be back today or tomorrow. Their hunting trip is taking longer.

What do you mean, a hunting trip? They must have gone to the castle.

Do you mean the Pyeongyang Castle? Why would they?

Don't you know? They must have gone there to see the princess even from afar.

What an idiot with no pride.

Songhwa-dang

His Lordship went to bed early.

I have something to tell him.

He ordered that no one should disturb him, too.

I got it.

The historian should write this down.

Even if someone has power and wealth, nobody can escape their sin if they violate the law.

That strictness is the spirit of King Jumong's founding of Goguryeo

and the principle of King Pyeongwon's reign today!

My Queen!

I'm not going to forgive you even after I die!

You will never possess Goguryeo!

Is the daughter also going to follow the way her mother, who failed?

What did you just say?

Sunnobu that was falsely accused of treason and ruined wrongfully eight years ago.

I suggested that you bring them back to their former status, Your Majesty.

That's nonsense.

They say that the one who started should end as well.

The wrong knot you'd tied can be untied only by your own hands, Father.

That is not a matter for you to judge what's right and what's wrong.

Rather, I can tell you this because it's me.

Because I would've been dead a long time ago if it weren't for them.

Those people who saved my life eight years ago.

If you give up here, then Goguryeo is going to fail.

They saved my life again this time.

Although I'm the daughter of the king, who is like an enemy to them,

despite knowing that fact, they were willing to help and care for me.

Back then and even now,

these people are honest and loyal subjects.

Please restore their honor and take them back as the people of Goguryeo.

If you resolve their old grudge, they will become trustworthy supporters for you, Father.

But the subjects will go against it like angry bees.

You're the king.

Who would dare to reverse what the king decides?

The king should listen to all sorts of complaints with his two ears,

but rule all of them with one mouth. That's what I learned.

Your command is the national law.

I as well as Sunnobu will become your strength, Father.

Sunnobu, you say...?

Are you not feeling well?

I heard you went to bed early last night.

When my mind is troubled, how can my body feel light?

Are you upset because the Jega Association was humiliated?

Or... Do you find it a shame to lose those silver pieces to the national treasury?

Please don't worry, as I didn't say anything about silver pieces to the princess.

I am going to leave for the border soon, so I can't let my father lose face either.

You don't have to go to the border.

I beg your pardon?

I've canceled the order, so you don't have to leave.

Why, all of a sudden...?

I'm just granting your wish, that's all.

To win the princess's favor, you should keep wagging your tail diligently from now on.

Your son is lost to the water ghost, and your husband is bedridden because of a stroke.

Oh my god, how accurate you are! That's true, sir!

How can I fix my fate?

I'll write a talisman for you, so go downstairs and wait there.

Yes, thank you, sir.

Why don't you stop reading fortunes for today?

- Whenever you gather your energy to use it, your lifespan is being shortened— - If so,

are you able to kill the king yourself?

I can do it, sir. I'll cut the king's throat.

With the remaining assassins, you wouldn't even be able to climb over the palace's wall.

The only way is

to make the king himself meet me alone.

How embarrassing this is.

I'm locked in my own house. What is this?

It is nice as you can take a rest using this excuse.

Soon, there will be good news.

Good news?

What do you mean?

Lord Gochuga isn't someone who would just let the princes act up as she pleases.

I'm sure that he is preparing some countermeasures.

Countermeasures. Countermeasures...

What is it again that he summoned us to the palace as soon as the dawn broke??

Lately, every day it feels as if we're walking on thin ice.

Lord Hae couldn't come because of the order to confine him in his house.

An order confining the Chief of Sonobu and a member of Jega Association to his house?

It's getting worse and worse.

His Majesty the King!

After settling the matter concerning Sonobu last time,

I've also had a heavy heart.

Since I'm fully aware of the loyalty and all the hard efforts made by the Chiefs of Jega Association,

it has pained me even more.

Therefore, while contemplating about what kind of status the Jega Association,

which is the central pillar of this country, should have—

I'd like to plead to the king.

Before listening to your precious words regarding state affairs, this humble subject has something to tell you.

Fine, what is it?

It's about the royal marriage of the princess, Your Majesty.

The royal marriage?

Really? So, now you don't have to leave for the border?

Yes, Your Highness. I'm staying in Pyeongyang Castle and will continue as head of the troops posted there.

Great. What a relief.

Well, do you really mean you are glad?

But then, why did he suddenly change his mind?

Who knows. It's always hard to see what's in his mind.

Princess! Oh, open the door.

Princess—

You two are here together.

What brings you here, My Lady?

After hearing the news, now you two look like a painting.

What do you mean...?

You two look so great together.

Seriously.

Your Highness! Your Highness...

Master Go, you knew it too, didn't you?

This is the first time I am hearing about it too.

Can't you believe me?

At this time when the people are so happy about the princess's return,

if this royal marriage is also achieved, it will become a joyous event for all people in the country.

However, this is too sudden...

It's nothing new, either.

The marriage between Inner Go clan and Upper Go clan, which mean the Royal Family and Gyerubu,

has been a custom observed for a very long time.

This is nonsense!

I have no intention to marry.

But why are you discussing it now?

You're at the age to get married, Your Highness.

But you don't need to plan it for me, Gochuga.

By any chance, are you not satisfied with the groom-to-be?

This is embarrassing to say as he's my son,

but I think he's not lacking in any way to become the king's son-in-law.

It's not about General Go's qualification.

Then, what is the problem?

Father, I have no intention to marry—

I can't permit that.

For the princess's marriage, when the time is right,

to the person she wants to marry, she will get married with my blessing.

I'm sure this is his scheme to tie our hands and feet with the excuse of a royal marriage, Father.

He's also trying to take me as the hostage.

I know. How can I not know that man's sly intention?

Don't worry,

as long as I don't give my permission, you will never be married off to Gyerubu.

Father...

Because of the princess, he's puffed up more and more every day.

Even so, I doubt he would give his permission easily.

If talking doesn't work, I should make him listen by force.

You also have a lot of grudges because of the recent incident, Lord Hae.

If you're going to raise an army, I will also add my strength to help you, Gochuga.

Why are you smiling there?

The proposal of a royal marriage ... I am admiring your brilliant move.

I was trying to come up with a way to approach the princess from my end as well.

A way?

I said to go to Hwayang Hall (Queen's quarters), but why did you take me to Pyeongjeon (the Throne Hall)?

You will know once you go inside, Your Majesty.

Gochuga.

Are you out of your mind now?

How dare you sit on that seat!?

It's King Pyeongwon's.

No, Go Yang Seong's chair, I guess. (T/N: He's speaking without honorifics.)

(Go Yang Seong - King Pyeongwon's name)

You bastard!

Is there anyone out there? Royal Guards!

(without honorifics) I ordered all of Royal Guards to stay away.

Say hello to it.

This is the arrow that pierced your woman's heart eight years ago.

You went crazy with jealousy to massacre your woman and your people.

Do you think you deserve to sit on this throne?

The only reason why you could play the king so far is because I permitted it.

You bastard...

Go Won Pyo...

However, if you act up, not knowing your place, I'll have no other choice but to drag you out of that seat immediately.

Even if the sky gets split into pieces,

I will never allow you to become the princess's father-in-law. Never!

I told you that I'm the one who gives the permission.

As soon as the morning breaks, the subjects of Goguryeo will hear the happy news.

Because the king will announce the princess's marriage all over the country.

It will never go in the way you intend!

Do you know what my true intention is?

Punishing the princess who is acting up recklessly

and dragging your sickly son out of the position of crown prince.

Well, will you see how things work according to my true intention?

Not to those kids.

They are my pitiful children...

That's why...

I'm giving you a chance.

So that you and your family can survive.

I guess it must be heavy since it's salt.

To use it for a season in Ghost Village, we need this much at least.

I can help you carry it.

It's fine. A guy should carry it.

Hey, we Turks don't do work separately by gender.

We're in Goguryeo. It's okay for you to be treated as a woman.

Who said I want you to look at me as a woman?

Selection of the king's son-in-law?

This means...

Isn't it about selecting the king's son-in-law?

What is it?

The princess should get married too!

She isn't married yet?

What is this?

Selection of the king's son-in-law?

I'm coming back from the king's quarters. I don't think you can see him even though you go there, Your Highness.

I have to see His Majesty.

Your Highness. Even though I'm not a good Daedaero, I'm still His Majesty's subject.

If you have anything to order, please call me anytime.

His Majesty said that I shouldn't allow anybody to come inside.

Get out of my way.

Father! It's me, Pyeonggang!

Can you hear me? Father!

What is going on? What do you mean by royal marriage?

I'm never going to be a Gyerubu person!

Father! Please take that order back!

Father! Father!

Father!

Let go of me!

Your Highness...

I said, let go of me.

Your Highness, please don't do this.

It's cold outside. Let's go back to Magnolia House.

Stay back.

Your Highness...

Why are you here?

Do you really not know why?

Didn't you say that?

You said you want to gain the princess's heart and make her into your woman.

So I gave you a chance, then you should be thankful.

How can I be thankful

for this forced arranged marriage?

I'm not going to be used that easily.

Either you want the wealth, or you desire the power,

or you are even enticed by their beauty...

Every marriage in this world is about using each other.

I'm satisfied if I can push down the princess with this marriage.

But what do you really want?

♫ As the moon rises in the dusk, ♫

♫ Will my lover see it? ♫

As long as I don't give my permission,

you will never be married off to Gyerubu.

♫ My tears run deeper too ♫

♫ Because I love you, ♫

♫ Even if the memories I carried fearlessly ♫

♫ Would tear my heart, ♫

♫ My heartrending love! ♫

Your Highness, the crown prince is here to see you.

Nui (Sister), please stand up now.

I'm worried that you might faint.

♫ Please, please, please know ♫

Sister.

♫ Oh, my love that I'm longing for! ♫

♫ Although that full moon is waning ♫

♫ I will fill my incomplete heart ♫

♫ and hang it there in its place ♫

Go Won Pyo...

I'm never going to forgive you.

No matter how much the princess refuses it, she can't reject the royal marriage.

If he becomes in-laws with the king,

Gochuga's power will be sky-high.

Don't worry about it.

He's still on the side of my prince, not the crown prince.

The rumor going around the palace isn't true, is it?

I heard that Gochuga and the queen have a special relationship.

Father!

It's a strange time.

Please behave prudently, Your Highness.

I heard that they're going to pick a husband for the princess in the Jega association.

No matter how many noblemen come, I bet General Go Geon will be the one at the end.

Apparently, he's not going to apply for that.

Your Highness!

What are you all waiting for! Take Her Highness inside!

Your Highness! Please wake up!

I'm satisfied if I can push down the princess with this marriage.

But what do you really want?

Send word to the Jangbaek herb store to bring some medicine. Tell them about her condition right now too.

However, Chief Hae and his daughter are under orders to be confined to their home.

But they are the best in Goguryeo with medicine.

I'll allow it as the crown prince, so send a person first.

Yes, Your Highness.

Get better soon, Nui.

We have to stop the royal marriage.

When Gochuga was here, you were astonished by that idea. But what are you talking about it now?

Gochuga is already controlling the national affairs.

If he gets the princess as his daughter-in-law and controls the royal family,

then not just our Sonobu but even Gwannobu will be Gyerubu's servant.

Power is like water, so when it starts to stagnate in one place, it becomes contaminated.

If we want to prevent Gochuga from abusing power, we should find a way to block the royal marriage from happening.

We should do it quietly, under the water...

Ma'am, someone came from Magnolia House.

Magnolia House?

Is the princess looking for Mo Yong?

Yes, sir.

We should bring down her fever first.

Let's restore her energy after seeing her improvement. First, bring some hot water and a bowl to boil medicine.

Yes, Ma'am.

Father...

Please don't abandon me...

Father...

Welcome!

You guys came back!

You said you're going to come back soon from the marketplace, but it has been a couple of days!

You worked so hard! Yes, bring it here.

What is this? It's salt!

Where's Dal?

I don't know.

Where are you going?

Just stay here.

Did something happen in the capital?

Nothing happened! It was so boring, so we were just yawning the whole time.

It's you, Poong Gae.

Yes, I just came back.

I brought some salt.

Why did you come back by yourself? Where's Dal?

We have some leftover leather to sell.

Why are you lying to me?

I know that he didn't go out hunting, so there's no leather to sell.

What the hell is Dal up to? Tell me the truth, now.

Announcement of a Royal Marriage

I wonder who's going to be picked as the king's son-in-law!

Every son of a noble family will apply for it.

But General Go Geon is the best.

Hey! You have to go through the Jega association to be picked as the king's son-in-law.

Then is the Gochuga going to evaluate his own son?

That's right! It's not fair, then.

Good morning, Your Highness.

What are you doing here? Did my nanny call you in?

Madam Gong Son went to boil medicine.

If you take it for a couple of days, you'll recover your energy, Your Highness.

I hope you feel better soon, Your Highness. Then...

Store owner.

Yes, Your Highness.

It's a waste of your time.

No matter what you do now, you're a criminal who broke the country's law.

So, I know how you feel right now, better than anyone else, Your Highness.

I, who committed a crime because I couldn't stand the threat, and Your Highness, who will get married unwillingly...

We're in the same situation.

Are you saying you did that because of Gochuga?

He's literally the absolute power. Who will stand up to him?

If you can't win, then you should run away, Your Highness.

No, I'm not going anywhere.

If I were going to run away for something so trivial, I wouldn't have come back to the palace.

He's going to cause big trouble!

We have to do something before Dal causes any trouble, Chief.

He's not a person who will act rashly.

Poong Gae said they also saw it together!

That enemy Gyerubu person's face!

Poong Gae, you said so, right?

And also, that woman, the princess, is going to get married.

How can Dal be in his sane mind right now?

If what you just said is true, then there's nothing we can do right now.

Whether he is dragged or carried, we should bring him here!!

Why don't you calm down and trust Dal and wait?

This is why I told him, don't even go down the mountain,

don't go into the capital! It's okay, it's okay.

I told him this a million times!

- But what should we do now! - Ma'am, here, please take this.

Who is it?

He's Ga Jin's father.

He's the father of that vixen who seduced my Dal?

Why are you talking so harshly?

Do you think I'm in a mood to talk nicely!

How did you raise your daughter so that she's causing trouble everywhere she goes!?

What's wrong with my daughter! She's good at working and has a beautiful mind!

How did that decent lady seduce my son!

What? Seduced him?

Your son just totally fell for her first!

This old geezer is just talking nonsense!

This old geezer?

This old hag!

- Mister, please calm down! - I'd shut that useless mouth!

- Damn it! - Good for nothing!

- Damn it! - Shall I try to shut it?!

- God damn it! - Damn it!

- God damn it! - That old geezer!

- Damn, damn, damn it! - Go to your room!

What is going on with them?

I guess Ga Jin is getting married.

Is she getting married? If the princess is getting married, then it's a royal marriage.

Then what about Dal?

That's what I'm saying.

I don't think they will ever be in-laws.

I have a favor to ask.

I have something to tell you as well. Come inside.

Don't worry about it.

As long as I don't give my permission, you will never be married off to Gyerubu.

By any chance, are you not satisfied with the groom-to-be?

I thought you were sick, Your Highness.

When you have a lot on your mind, you should forget by moving your body.

My fever went down.

Should I learn some moves from you?

I'm not going to be your swordsmanship teacher anymore.

I want to be your man from now.

What did you just say?

Please marry me.

I'll be on your side forever, Your Highness.

Our parents have an ill-fated relationship, but Your Highness and I are different.

If we gather our will together, we can change Goguryeo and make a better world.

I will act as though I didn't hear that.

I know it's a political marriage!

That's right.

I also know you have a deep resentment towards my father.

But there's nobody else who knows better about you than I do.

Because I have been watching over you for a long time

and loving you.

I'll protect you with that mind.

Please accept my proposal.

I'm sorry.

Even if it weren't a political marriage, I can't accept your feelings.

I'll stop my father!

I'll come forward so that he can't shake you or His Majesty!

It's not about that.

There's someone else in my heart already.

Somehow... at some point...

He is the one. That's what I hear inside of my mind.

I get worried about him if I can't see him.

I feel sorry for him if I see him.

That yokel ... Are you giving your heart to that guy?

Yes! He's my man.

He's the one I'll share my fate with.

I'm never going to...

give you up!

So you're willing to go with the marriage. Did you just say that?

Yes. Please rush the royal marriage.

What made you change your mind?

Until yesterday, you were stubbornly refusing it.

If I want something with my whole soul,

even if I have to steal it,

I have to have it.

Now I realize that.

Even if the princess refuses to get married until the end?

She'll ultimately become my woman.

We should make the wedding gown.

A marriage that is selling a bride is not a celebration.

One royal misfortune is enough.

Please help me.

I'm going to stop Gyerubu from abusing power, and in the end, I'm going to punish Go Won Pyo.

Are you really the son of On Hyeop?

On Hyeop. Are you going to torment me still even after you are dead?

You're disgracing your father!

You're not my daughter anymore.

It's all over now, the royal marriage or the political marriage.

It's not the end!

I'm going to kill anybody who interferes with the princess and me!

I'm sorry.

I can just gouge it out, whether it's true or false.

The exit?

I should do this to get away from the royal marriage.

Please forgive me.

Father...

This person is my husband. We got married already.

He was the Goguryeo's Daemodal (high-ranking General) and the Widu-daehyeong of Rank 5!

I'm the son of General On Hyeop, the 17th Chief of Sunnobu!
