Chae Rhee's two daughters will be Naklang's demise.

Have him kill his two daughter with his own hands.

I know it is your will to save my daughter.

Save my daughter. Save your daughter.

Though you can't live as Jamyung's mother, you will live as Naklang's mother.

Did you try to kill my only son, Hodong?

I regret that I didn't kill Hodong that day.

Father needs to know too.

No, we can't.

If you feel wronged, develop your strength.

Develop the strength to break the queen.

It looks like we...

are in a winfall!!!

Children like us are sold into here.

We are abandoned because we were a burden.

You're willing to kill my husband to become king?

We who have shared hardship together,

cannot share the joy of victory together.

What did you do!

I'm not going to die!

Since you've sent my murdered husband in a box of ice, I am going to have you burned to death.

The crime of a wife can be covered by her husband.

As of now, sister-in-law is my wife.

If you feel defeated by his majesty, clench your teeth and endure.

Because I need to make my son a king of Goguryeo.

Hurry and go. There is no one in this carriage.

Princess Naklang, named Lahee, will be in Dongmuyeon tomorrow.

Kill that girl!

I cannot. I've never had anything against her.

It's not of the heart, but a choice.

You don't choose who you should kill, fate does.

I have to speak with you for a moment.

How is it that you have a pass that is only for the royalty to use?

How did you incur the injury on your palms?

Why don't you turn over the girl called Kilsang?

That girl is my bodyguard.

Satisfy the 9-trippled-over bow!

I am sorely disappointed in you, Prince.

To the one that kills Hodong, I will award ten slabs of gold.

Just what is your position?

Your bodyguard?... . Prince's friend.

To the brave Beeryunabe and to my eldest uncle, I am grateful.

Did you kill my eldest brother?!

I cannot forgive you who killed my eldest brother!

The baby is trying to come out.

Is there anyone? The queen is about to give birth.

Part 22

Gatheryour energy and use it

to draw the poison out

through yourfeet.

When you open your energy channels

you can gain foresight.

PRlNCE HODONG You can also gain enlightenment.

You are more than capable of

drawing poison out of your body.

JAMYUNG / Daughter of Choi Li and Mo Haso of Nakrang

Puku.

Do you have a fever again?

Some woman tried to stab me with a coral hairpin.

lLPUM / Dead Dalgebi's son Who? What woman?

l don't know.

l can't tell really tell.

Maybe you heard it so much from so many people that

you are imagining the story in your mind.

No.

lt's not like that.

lt wasn't just this once. lt's been a few days.

At first it was just a blur but the image is getting clearer.

l'm not crazy. The poison hasn't gone to my head.

lf you don't believe me who will?

lt's not that l don't believe you.

l'm just taken aback.

You think the poison's gone to her head?

l don't know.

MlCHU / Cha Chasung's wife CHA CHASUNG Leader of Troupe Happy Joy Let's wait and see.

MlCHU / Cha Chasung's wife CHA CHASUNG Leader of Troupe Happy Joy She'll be back to normal

if she opens her energy channels.

Can she really see what really happened?

Well...

l've heard that such a thing is possible when

your energy channels are open but l've never seen such a person.

Prince!

Your Highness!

Did she give birth?

lt's been more than 30 hours since she went into labor.

TAECHU / Soldier lt's no time for a picnic.

You may go.

- Prince. - Go.

You're the troublemaker.

l'll beat you to a pulp when you get better.

Don't be anxious.

The rest of your energy channels will open as soon

as you open the three core channels.

lf the queen gives birth to a prince.

what will come of you?

You tell me.

When you open your channels

you'll be able to see and hearfor miles

and read people's minds.

So you tell me what will happen to me.

Prince!

Sit down.

Let's start over.

Taechu is right.

lt's no time foryou to be here like this.

Then what?

Shall l go to the queen and beg her not to have a son?

Shall l kill my brother as soon as he's born?

Your Majesty just a little more.

Hang in there.

OHSUNJUN GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO Your Majesty!

OHSUNJUN GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO Why are you alone?

They wouldn't let me leave the queen's chamber.

Nonsense.

More than a whole day has passed.

SONG MAESEOULSU King Daemushin's first queen What if my son dies before he's born?

Yangdeok you go and fetch the royal physician!

DAEWONGAM Royal physician

You won't allow a physician

SlEUlWON Responsible for palace physician when the queen is in labor?

SlEUlWON Responsible for palace physician

Sir!

HADEOK/ Royal servant l can't allow anyone to enter or leave

the queen's chamber without the king's permission.

YANGDEOK/ Lady-in-wait lt's herfirst birth.

She can't do this alone.

How is Her Majesty doing?

Chief please save Her Majesty.

At this rate Her Majesty's life will be in danger.

Your Majesty!

How dare you!

You can't draw your sword here.

That is pointing your sword at the king.

SONG OKGU / Chief of Biryuna Song Maeseolsu's Father

Your Majesty yourfather is out here.

l came back to protect you.

Please stay strong.

You must give the Biryuna tribe a prince.

l'm here by your side.

l'll give birth to a prince.

l won't die.

Bring me the ribbon l'll tie Hodong's coffin with.

The Queen of Goguryeo is giving birth surrounded by troops.

l'll carry my son to His Majesty.

l'll show him that Hodong isn't his only son.

Did she give birth?

She's in pain.

She wants the royal physician.

KlNG DAEMUSHlN Third King of Goguryeo Hodong's father

Why... This is suffocating.

Say something.

What can we say?

WU NARU / Hodong's Uncle Head of National Administration What will happen when the queen has a son?

SAMGWEGUGODU Bowing to the emperor 9 times The chiefs of the five tribes

SAMGWEGUGODU Bowing to the emperor 9 times are already upset overthe prince

bowing to the Chinese emperor.

They'll turn their backs on Prince Hodong in a flash.

Even l'm still upset with him.

EUL DUJl / Senior Head Officer of National Administration Hodong's former teacher Where are you going?

We must offer our congratulations

when the queen gives birth.

l feel like a fish out of water. l'm going home to breathe.

Princess what are you doing?

YEORANG / Hodong's Aunt

YEORANG / Hodong's Aunt l'm praying to Heaven.

Forthe queen to have a princess?

That'd be nice.

But l wouldn't mind if she died during childbirth.

Princess.

lt's not uncommon for women to die during childbirth.

l never knew you were so frightening.

Hodong could've died in Simbeon.

Why do you think her brother Song Gang died?

He tried to kill Hodong. He got what he deserved.

But ljust hope you aren't such a frightening person.

Dear Heaven please hear my prayer.

Forthe sake of Goguryeo for my Hodong

let the queen have a princess.

lf that's not possible

please let her die during childbirth.

ls it a prince?

Yangdeok did Her Majesty have a prince?

ls it a boy or a girl?

lt's a prince Your Majesty!

Bring me the king's dagger.

l'll cut the umbilical cord myself.

The queen has produced a prince.

Let's offer our congratulations!

Your Majesty congratulations!

Hail! Hail!

Hail to the king!

Hail! Hail!

Hail to the king!

Hail! Hail!

Hail to the queen! Hail to the prince!

Hail! Hail!

Hail to the queen! Hail to the prince!

SONG SUJlRYUN King Daemushin's second Queen

Bring my clothes.

Why?

l'll go see the king.

You can't.

You can't walk or be out in the cold.

He doesn't become prince just because the people hail him.

Even among the commoners

a son who's not recognized by his father becomes a slave.

lf my son isn't recognized by the king

he'll be trampled by Hodong.

With the grace of King Dongmyeongseong

l gave birth to a son.

The baby looks afteryou.

Baby you should meet yourfather.

Stay as you are.

Please look upon his face.

You should give him a name at least.

l don't wish to.

What's the meaning of this?

l cut his umbilical cord with that dagger.

Although he was born through me you gave life to him.

He has no reason to live

if he'll only be a burden on Goguryeo.

lf you can't acknowledge him as a prince of Goguryeo

then kill him with your own hands.

You're testing me?

What does it matter if he dies or live.

He's better off dead if he's to suffer insult all his life.

Bring Hodong.

Your Highness.

Why? Are you in pain?

You can scream.

lt's all right with me.

lf there are many princes

all the other princes die except the one who becomes king?

Not all but it's not uncommon for princes

who were born of the same motherto kill each other.

That's power.

Why do you want to become king so badly?

l don't know.

lf you don't know why do you want to become king?

To some people some things come so naturally

that they don't even question why.

My becoming the King of Goguryeo is one of those matters.

Your Highness.

Come in.

The king wants you in his chamber.

You called for me?

Here...

lies your younger sibling.

Unfortunately it's a boy.

l didn't want him and l'm sure you didn't want him.

He's trouble for Goguryeo and nobody else wanted him

except the Biryuna tribe and the queen.

You once told me this.

That you'd learned the sword you can kill your

own flesh and blood with.

Have you forgotten?

l have not.

l'll leave the fate of this baby to you.

What do you mean?

l don't have any affection to this child.

l too can't be a father who taints his hands with his son's blood.

Your Majesty.

Even if you kill this baby here l won't blame you.

He shouldn't have been born in the first place.

Let him live or die... lt's up to you.

Only you can decide this baby's fate.

You can't leave it to Hodong!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty how could you suggest such an atrocity.

Please reconsider!

Your Majesty.

Keep your mouths shut!

Congratulations Your Majesty.

This is a good news on Nakrang.

Congratulations Your Majesty!

Be seated.

CHOl Ll / King of Nakrang father of Jamyung and Lahee l wish to officially discuss

the marriage of Hodong and the crown princess.

LAHEE Choi Ll and Wang Jasil's daughter l'll send envoys to Goguryeo.

Find out what Muhyul's demands are in regards to this marriage

and what our demands will be.

Also the time of the wedding

and where Hodong will be residing afterthe wedding.

Yes Your Majesty.

General Wang you'll go as an envoy to Goguryeo.

WANG HOL / Wang Jasil's brother Mo Yanghae's husband l'll obey your command Your Majesty.

l have a request Your Majesty.

Go ahead.

Since the great general will be leaving for Goguryeo

l wish to inspect the borders of Eunpo Mukbang and Minbong.

You will go yourself?

How could l rule the kingdom without

knowing the land?

l'll meet our people and support the troops

who have toiled to build the new fortresses.

MlYANGJUN JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG Your Highness the queen is here.

Your Majesty.

Mother.

You will be taking your armor as well?

GOMAYEOUL Area around Chungchun river There was trouble while

GOMAYEOUL Area around Chungchun river building a fortress in Gomayeoul.

There is a bit of a commotion.

MO HASO / Choi Li's First Queen Jamyung's mother Peace will be restored in the border area

onces the talk of marriage begins.

What is it?

lt's nothing.

Prince Hodong.

l heard that you returned safely from Simbeon.

l also heard that the queen gave birth to a prince.

You do like Prince Hodong?

l believe he'll be of help to Nakrang.

l'm not asking the crown princess.

l'm asking my daughter Lahee.

l'm not sure.

what it's like to like someone

to love someone.

whetherthe Crown Princess of Nakrang is

allowed such emotions.

Prince Hodong is handsome and a greaterfighter.

lt is only natural you're attracted to him.

Mom.

l want my Lahee to be in a relationship

that's not too hot ortoo cold.

A relationship where you don't have to hide yourfeelings.

A relationship where your feelings aren't forced.

That sounds boring.

l wouldn't be in that kind of relationship

if l weren't crown princess.

Love isn't just about passion.

Having a warmth here that never cools with time.

That's also love.

l'm not in love with Prince Hodong.

And what if you are?

You're crown princess and you're a woman.

My only concern is that you're passionate by nature

and Hodong is...

l don't know him well since l've only met him briefly

but he seems cold even when he pretends to be warm.

Since the Queen of Goguryeo gave birth to a prince

it'd be nice if Hodong could come live in Nakrang.

Then you can be happy both as crown princess and as a woman.

WANG JA-SlL / Choi Li's Second Queen Lahee's mother lt's my chance to go to Goguryeo.

CHlSO / Wang Jasil's lady-in-wait But how will you go?

How can l follow the envoys?

MO YANGHAE / Wang Hol's sister-in-law and wife Hol is going to Goguryeo?

Yes. l'll go with him and bring Princess Jamyung.

DOCHAL / Servant of Younghojangwon How will you bring the prince's bodyguard?

Can you even gain entry to the prince's chamber?

lt's not something you can do. l'll go myself.

BUDAL / Servant of Younghojangwon But how?

You'll go as an envoy?

l'm smart enough to find a way.

YOUNGANJUN JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG Shouldn't you go personally

since it concerns Lahee's marriage?

The queen?

Of course l'd like to go.

Although it is a marriage of convenience

the rest of Lahee's future rides on it.

l want to see for myself what kind of man Hodong is

and meet his father and the queen.

Then you should.

But l can't leave the palace.

Right the queen can't leave the palace.

Your Majesty why don't l go?

What will you do there?

And it's not proper protocol between two kingdoms.

Wedding matters are handled by the women in the family.

l won't be an official envoy

but since the queen just delivered a prince

l'll offer my congratulations to the queen and find out

about the relationship between Hodong and the Biryuna tribe.

Your Majesty.

What is it?

Lady Mo of Yulguhun wishes to see you.

Lady Mo?

Show her in.

Greetings Your Majesty.

Welcome.

Greetings Your Majesties.

Welcome.

Your visit to the palace is frequent lately.

l'm sorry to interrupt you.

Not at all.

l'll leave you to talk.

l have a request Your Majesty.

What is it?

Please allow me to accompany my husband when

he goes to Goguryeo.

Why would you go there?

l must have a son within a year but we have no time

to make a baby since he's away from home all the time.

Sister-in-law!

Lady Mo.

lt's all right.

l like her honesty.

You're most gracious Your Majesty.

But accompanying him to Goguryeo

just to make a baby isn't a good enough reason.

You're most correct Your Majesty.

lt's ridiculous.

BANSUJUN JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG lt's ridiculous.

BANSUJUN JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG That Mo Yanghae was just trying to make me upset.

But you began this at the banquet.

Did you tell Mo Yanghae about Jamyung?

Do l seem to have loose lips?

His Majesty stopped her

but what if Mo Yanghae followed you to Goguryeo?

Don't ever let Mo Yanghae know.

When she finds out about Jamyung

either Mo Yanghae or l will have to die.

GOGURYEO GUKNAE PALACE

Your Majesty.

You're bleeding.

You must return to your chamber.

l can't leave this room

when my son's fate hasn't been decided.

Prince Hodong if you're going to kill him do it now.

You've already killed my brother.

What's to stop you from killing your half-brother?

Song Gang only reaped what he sowed.

l showed mercy to the Biryuna tribe because

yourfather lost his eldest son.

So keep your mouth shut.

Maeseolsu please give birth to a prince

forthe sake of the Biryuna tribe.

l wish to be

human just yet.

l can't kill my newborn brother.

Grandfather King Dongmyeongseong

your grandson Muhyul was given a prince

through Song Maeseolsu.

Please let the two brothers unite to build a stronger Goguryeo.

HAEAEWU The prince's name is Haeaewu.

lt means ''love will overcome all worries. ''

Let his name be true and not drive a wedge

between Prince Hodong and him.

lf anyone evertries to encourage the two princes

to bloodshed

l swear l will cut his head off myself.

Offeryour congratulations to the queen.

Congratulations Mother.

Thank you Prince.

Congratulations.

Princess come closer.

Please hold him.

We couldn't be here today if not foryou.

Here.

Haeaewu when you grow up

you must serve Aunt as you would a mother.

Your Majesties my sincerest congratulations.

Thank you Father-in-law.

Thank you Father.

May his grandfather hold the prince?

Certainly.

Chief here.

Prince.

l'm your grandfather.

He bears a great resemblance to you.

He'll grow up to support Prince Hodong

in making Goguryeo a stronger kingdom.

That's possible

if only the Biryuna tribe help him.

My Lady please reconsider.

What are you so afraid of?

lf Princess Jamyung appears now

Nakrang could be thrown into confusion.

You made a pledge to the late general with your blood.

lf you break that pledge

you'll have to pay the price with your life.

Do you like Hodong?

That doesn't matter.

This marriage has already been decided.

A marriage can be broken anytime and anywhere.

Mother.

Release all yourfeelings for him.

l've told you many times that Hodong's not meant foryou.

CHU BALSO / Executive Officer of Goguryeo's southern district Choi Li's second queen Wang Jasil

Princess Lahee's birthmother will be coming unofficially.

Even though it's an unofficial visit

Princess Nakrang's birthmother is a very important guest.

Who'll host the guest? We cannot host her.

Let the queen host Choi Li's second wife.

Yes Your Majesty.

CHENPYEONGWAN / Empty chamber The other envoys can stay

CHENPYEONGWAN / Empty chamber at Cheonpyeongwan but we should

prepare separate lodging

for Queen Jasil next to the queen's chamber.

All right.

Hodong.

Yes Father.

Are you aware that the five tribes

SAMGWEGUGODU Bowing to the emperor 9 times are turning their backs on you

SAMGWEGUGODU Bowing to the emperor 9 times for bowing to the emperor

at the Luoyang Palace?

l did it forthe sake of Goguryeo.

Was that something you should've decided on your own?

lt isn't wrong to put our pride aside until

we grow strong enough to go up against Han.

Leave us.

l wish to speak to Hodong privately.

First you kneel before China and now Haeaewu is born.

You can't rely on the five tribes anymore.

There's only one thing you have left.

You know what that is don't you?

lt is to conquer Nakrang on my own.

When Nakrang rebuilt theirfortresses

in Eunpo, Mukbang and Minbong

Mukbang fortress partly built on ourterritory.

So?

l hearthat Princess Nakrang is inspecting Eunpo.

When the Nakrang envoys arrive

l'll leave for Eunpo as soon as l greet them.

What will you do once you get there?

l'll study how stronger Nakrang's army has gotten.

l'll also win Princess Nakrang's heart

and make this marriage happen.

Yes. lf only you can do that

you'll restore your position somewhat.

l owe you for Haeaewu.

He is just a newborn.

l don't want to involve my newborn brother.

in a power struggle just yet.

Have you gone mad?

What are you doing here?

l came to see my husband off.

Sister-in-law.

l'll return after l see you off.

Yes you should.

Have a good trip. l'll see you off here Mother.

Troubles abound in border areas.

Be careful.

Yes.

- Let's go. - Yes Your Majesty.

Great General.

Do you have something to say to me?

When you arrive at Goguryeo.

Tell Prince Hodong l'm glad he returned safely from Simbeon.

l will deliveryour message Your Highness.

EUNPO GATE Goguryeo-Nakrang border

Those who come through this gate

without permission will not return alive.

The people of Nakrang are pretty scary.

l can see they're on theirtoes.

There they come.

Great General we meet again.

You went through trouble to greet us?

Of course. We're receiving very important guests.

She must be the queen?

Yes.

He's the Great General of Goguryeo Your Majesty.

She's the only sister of King Daemushin

the greatest beauty in Goguryeo.

And she's also my wife.

l'm Yeorang.

l'm Wang Jasil.

l heard that the queen was the greatest beauty in Goguryeo

but you are also very beautiful Princess.

You're old now

but you must've been a beauty when you were young.

Thank you.

No My Lady.

You can't cross the border without permission.

No My Lady.

Be quiet!

Who's to stop me from following my husband?

Aunt.

Crown Princess.

l'll be kicked out if l don't have a son.

l didn't see anything.

Thank you.

Get out of my way!

Sister-in-law what's the...

You'll look more dignified with me waiting on you.

This is my wife.

Yes l heard that you entered into a levirate marriage.

Greetings Princess.

l'm Mo Yanghae of Younghojangwon.

You're very beautiful.

Thank you My Lady.

You look very dignified and majestic.

l hearthat a lot.

Let us go.

We'll escort you in our carriages.

lf you ever make a commotion that's the end of you

l'll just wait on you quietly Your Majesty.

What's wrong?

Brother.

l saw her.

l saw the woman who stabbed me in the heart.

Why are you doing this?

l'm serious.

l've seen her somewhere.

Puku.

Just a little more and l could've seen a clearer image.

You and l were in a small boat and there was a whirlwind.

Puku.

Your energy back-flowed.

Your Highness. l'll be your bodyguard.

l'll pay you back with my life.

Please let my sister be examined by a royal physician.

She was examined as soon as we arrived at the palace

but the only way to get rid of the poison

is to open her energy channels.

You're going to Eunpo to meet the princess?

Are you going to marry Princess Nakrang?

Yes l am.

She's really beautiful.

Like an angel from heaven.

A king doesn't marry a woman for her beauty.

He marries forthe good of his country.

Then he's no better off than a common man.

Common people can at least marry for love.

Do you know what love is?

Of course l do.

What is it?

You feel as if you're floating in air.

And?

As if your heart will stop.

lt feels as if your heart is on fire.

Like you're being burned.

Who'd want to be in love if it's that painful?

lt's because you've never been in love.

And you have?

l'll fall in love someday. And you should too.

She's grown old now but the queen was very beautiful.

She was even more beautiful than Princess Nakrang.

To a young boy she looked like an angel.

My father didn't love the queen.

But that doesn't mean you can't be in love with your queen.

The people may not know it but to a king

love is like a poison which dulls his thoughts.

A king who falls in love with a woman is not a good king.

To a king a woman is one of two things.

Awoman who benefits his country

or a woman who satisfies his lust.

l wish there were a third kind of woman.

The crown princess will be the Queen of Nakrang someday.

Her husband has to reside in Nakrang.

But our prince will succeed the throne of Goguryeo.

He can't live in Nakrang.

l thought it was a Goguryeo custom for a man to live

with his wife's family until his first son grows to maturity.

You know a lot about our customs.

That's the custom of the commoners.

But it's different for Prince Hodong.

He can't live in Nakrang forthe rest of his life

since he'll become the King of Goguryeo.

But you have another prince.

He was just born.

lf we can't come to an agreement

maybe Princess Nakrang

can live in Nakrang our prince will live in Goguryeo

and they can meet occasionally.

Right. l like his idea.

What a handsome baby.

l can already see a kingly air about him.

Thank you.

Queen you're making a grave mistake.

Kingly airyou say?

Prince Hodong will succeed my brother

and Haeaewu will just remain a prince.

Oh my...

Since Prince Hodong will marry our princess and

live in Nakrang

l assumed that the second prince would succeed the throne.

Prince Hodong is here.

You came.

Pay your respects to the Queen of Nakrang.

lt's been a long time Your Majesty.

You've grown up to be a handsome man.

My Lady it's been a long time since l saw you at your wedding.

l was eagerto see you

hearing that you defeated my husband.

l cannot say it was a true test of our skills.

Your Highness.

l'm glad to see you here in our palace.

Yes. l have a message from the crown princess.

You do?

She said she's glad you returned safely from Simbeon.

That's nice of her.

l'll give her my reply in person.

You'll be safe

since my brother and the boss are accompanying you.

l'm more worried about you.

Puku promise me something.

Promise me you'll open all your energy channels

by the time l return.

Otherwise l'll be constantly worried about you.

l promise.

Thank you for coming with me.

Since Puku will be going to Nakrang after she heals

Hangkai and l will be at your service if you ever need us.

That means a lot coming from men of many talents like you.

We don't know whether Puku will leave for Nakrang or not

so don't count on leaving just yet.

Yes Your Highness.

We're in Goguryeo palace.

So we sneak into the prince's chamber

and kill Jamyung while she's sleeping.

How will we handle the consequences?

You can do it if you put your mind to it.

l must leave now to attend King Daemushin's banquet.

Hol.

Don't even think about it.

l know why you came here but l'm here as an envoy.

l won't do anything to cause trouble for Nakrang.

What do we do now?

We came all the way to Goguryeo.

lf l knew where Prince Hodong's chamber was

l'd go there myself and take the load off your shoulders.

l need to meet with the queen.

Why?

Since the queen hates Hodong and l don't like him either

we're on the same side.

Arrange for a private meeting

since l can't have Mo Yanghae and Yeorang with us.

OUTSlDE EUNPO GATE

Your Highness!

Did you find out where Princess Nakrang is staying?

She's staying at the official residence inside the gate.

Cha Chasung, Hangkai.

Yes Your Highness.

You can't fail me.

Don't worry Your Highness. That's my area of expertise.

Who's there?

You're still as spirited as ever.

Prince Hodong.

lt's been a long time.

What's the meaning of this rudeness?

Rudeness?

You sent your regards with Wang Hol

but l came in person to give my regards.
