Episode 34

JAMYUNG

l understand we're on the run

but this is too pathetic.

Maybe we should just kill ourselves.

lf you want to die die by yourself.

Your Highness.

PRlNCE HODONG You have no idea.

how l came this far.

Unless the crown princess tells me to die l can't die.

PRlNCESS NAKRANG

Your Highness we must return now.

He must be thirsty.

l'll go to the icehouse.

ENVOYCHAMBER JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG How is he?

ENVOYCHAMBER JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG l can't say.

Your Majesty

please save the officer as you would your men.

Your Majesty.

CHOl Ll

Officer.

Officer!

Please stay strong.

Stay alive and leave His Majesty alone.

You must stay by His Majesty's side.

The King of Goguryeo has admirable subjects.

Save the officer's life.

l'll do my best Your Majesty.

WANG HOL

EUL DUJl Officer of right

The officer is in a critical condition.

l do not care.

But he was once yourteacher.

l meant to kill him.

lf he's not dead then he must be alive.

Quench yourthirst.

Our men are watching.

What do you think you are doing?

Go back to your chamber.

You must not lose your dignity because of me.

This is why l can't trust you.

Why can't you trust him?

How can a man cruel enough to kill his teacher

love a woman dearly?

How can he risk his life for a woman?

Because she's not just a woman.

Because she's Lahee.

To every man there is a woman he can't resist.

And to me.

she's the Crown Princess of Nakrang unfortunately.

You don't need to explain your feelings to everyone.

Because l believe you.

l'm not thirsty.

lt's not just water.

lt's my tears and blood. l vow to save your life.

lf l can't save you.

l'll go with you.

CHOl Ll'S OFFlCE JlNYANG PALACE We must return Prince Hodong to Goguryeo.

l agree with him.

l also agree.

MO YANGHAE He has proved his sincerity by slaying Eul Duji.

How can we send him back?

RYUJl / Minister He will be very useful

when Haeaewu succeeds the throne.

MO HASO Prince Hodong is a cold and cruel man.

A prince should be strong.

Being cold and cruel is not a fault.

lf we allow him to stay

it means we consent to his marrying the crown princess.

The priestess has said it is the will of Heaven for

the crown princess to marry the great general.

WANG JA-SlL l agree with the priestess on this matter.

Since when did we take advice from the priestess?

Since when did this kingdom belong to Puku

and not to Father and me?

Crown Princess l told you not to disappoint me anymore.

Go ahead and name the great general

as your successor if you wish.

Crown princess!

l'll give up.

l'm the crown princess in name only.

l'll abandon Nakrang

just as Prince Hodong abandoned Goguryeo.

Be quiet!

Nakrang already belongs to the priestess!

Give it to Puku!

How dare you!

Please allow us to leave Nakrang.

lf you can't kill me with him when you kill Prince Hodong.

Fine!

A crown princess who abandons her country

for a man does not deserve to live!

l'll kill you right now!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Please calm down.

No Your Majesty!

Leave this room now!

Go back to your chamber!

This is all because of that wench.

l can no longer forgive Puku.

LAHEE'S CHAMBER

l heard that you have a younger sister.

Would you be happy if she were alive?

Could you cherish her if Jamyung came back?

SUYOUNG HALL JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG

lLPUM The priestess is praying.

Get out of my way.

The priestess is also my slave.

Did you feel so wronged?

Crown princess.

lf you weren't a lowly circus performer

you could've had Prince Hodong.

Did you feel wronged?

You hold such a huge grudge against him that

you kill want to kill him in the name of Heaven?

And the crown princess?

She went inside the shrine armed.

l don't understand

how losing your love would drive you to murder.

You're a cunning thing.

l read your intentions when you came back as a priestess.

Please calm down.

lf you didn't want to kill Hodong did you want to kill me?

You should appease your anger.

What did l take from you?

Hodong, Nakrang and the title of crown princess

the first queen and the love of the people?

What do you mean?

Of course you must be jealous since you lost everything

even though you are the daughter of the queen

and live such a lowly life.

l understand how you would want to avenge.

You must've felt wronged for the years you've suffered

and been tormented by your jealousy toward me.

You're the one who's consumed by jealousy.

The scar is still so clear.

The rage inside you must be just as clear.

What more do you need to want Hodong and me dead?

Yes l'm Jamyung.

l didn't mean to shock you or let you know.

But Sister.

l'm not your sister. Don't call me that.

Crown Princess

could you please not hate me forthe first queen's sake?

l'm not your sister

and you can never be Jamyung nor my sister.

How long have you known?

Did you take me as a fool?

l've thought it over and over again.

All the things that happened in the palace.

You, Father and the second queen.

Even the great general and Lady Mo.

Your inexplicable behavior.

That was all because she was your daughter.

Why didn't you talk to me?

l thought it best to ignore it.

l thought l'd ignore it

since she said she'd live as if she were dead.

Lahee you're not this cruel.

You cannot be so mean to your sister.

l've already told you.

l can love Jamyung who's dead

but l can't love Jamyung who's alive.

Don't you feel sorry for her?

She can't even be become a princess.

She's a criminal of Nakrang and must remain dead.

But she has too much to be pitied.

Just what does she have?

She's a priestess in name.

She's practically the crown princess.

She controls every state affair

and even decides on my marriage.

l know you're trying to make her the real queen behind the scenes

and just make me the queen in name only.

Why are you saying such things?

l'm not a fool.

Don't control Motherfrom behind like a coward.

Pick up your sword.

Let's see how badly you want me dead.

Put down your sword. You're in the presence of queen.

Pick up your sword.

What are you doing in front of your mother?

Lahee.

Mother.

l think l'm going to hate you.

Your Majesty you're a hypocrite.

lf Prince Hodong dies l'll neverforgive you.

Crown Princess.

lt pains me just as much to watch Prince Hodong die.

Now you're being honest.

But l can't trust Prince Hodong.

l trust him.

more than l trust you

More than Mother And more than Father

l'll walk you to your chamber.

Please pray for the crown princess.

Yes, Your Majesty.

l can abandon neither of my daughters.

Not you and not the crown princess.

l'll never succeed you Your Majesty.

But you have no other choice if

the crown princess won't succeed His Majesty.

Mo Yanghae what are you saying?

Only His Majesty can decide who succeeds the throne.

But our people admire the crown princess.

Your Majesty you gave me the right to decide

the crown princess's marriage.

ls the royal command still valid?

Say what you wish to say.

l wish to have the crown princess marry Prince Hodong.

Your Majesty.

The crown princess has to stay strong for Nakrang to be strong.

Please keep your eyes on the prince and if

he does anything to arouse your suspicion

you can decide otherwise then.

Minister deliver my message to Hodong.

l, Choi Li, the King of Nakrang

grant Hodong's request for asylum.

Your Majesty you're most gracious.

His Majesty has ordered us to

BU TUNG / BUDAL watch the prince's every move.

Yes sir.

We don't trust Hodong.

HWEJUNGGWAN Hodong's chamber in Nakrang Do not miss any detail.

HWEJUNGGWAN Hodong's chamber in Nakrang Check every visitor and every letter.

He might send information to Goguryeo.

We'll keep our eyes on him like a hawk eyeing its prey.

Nakrang is a beautiful kingdom.

l'll help you become a great queen.

l won't let you live as a queen's prince.

You and l will rule over Nakrang together.

l've never been happier in my life than l am today.

Teacher is it the will of Heaven or the will of

the crown princess to let the prince live?

Or is it because of the lingering obsession in my heart?

GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO

Your Majesty.

Do you have news from Nakrang?

Did Choi Li cut off Hodong's head?

CHU BALSO / Envoy for southern district Hodong killed the guards

and struck the officer and Hadeok.

KlNG DAEMUSHlN

WU NARU / Head of National Administration He's lost his mind.

WU NARU / Head of National Administration Hodong has completely gone mad.

How can he strike Eul Duji of all people?

So?

ls Eul Duji dead or alive?

We're not certain yet of his life.

And is Hodong still alive?

Yes, King Choi Li granted Hodong's asylum

and he'll soon hold a ceremony making him a citizen of Nakrang.

That Choi Li!

SONG OKGU

SONG MAESEOLSU'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE Hodong was his future his everything.

Can he really loathe and abandon his dear son overnight?

SONG MAESEOLSU Fatheryou must know

since you have sired many sons from many mothers.

Can you abandon your son so easily?

Yes, l can.

Can you kill him?

Forthe sake of the Biryuna tribe l can.

There's something no one else know

but his wife who's lain with him.

l'm worried because

the king has abandoned Hodong too readily.

JUMONG SHRlNE GOGURYEO

To think l have only a criminal to share drinks with.

Hodong.

lf you fail to gain Nakrang even after sacrificing Eul Duji

l'll neverforgive you.

HOEJEONG HALL JlNYANG PALACE

l think l saw Puku that night.

TAECHU That can't be. Puku can't be in the palace.

Be quiet.

The walls have ears and eyes in this palace.

lt wasn't Puku. You were mistaken.

SUYOUNG HALL JlNYANG PALACE

QUEEN JASlL'S CHAMBER

lt's beautiful.

Mother.

He needs to look decent forthe ceremony.

SUNGCHlM ROOM / Royal seamstress Her Majesty personally made the robe

SUNGCHlM ROOM / Royal seamstress forthe prince.

l feel sorry for him.

He fled Goguryeo with no other robe.

Thank you Mother.

l haven't changed my mind.

Hodong isn't a good match foryou.

But what can l do when you can't recognize the real gem

right before your eyes?

You lost a great man.

Her Majesty the Second Queen.

Your Majesty.

You look much better all cleaned up.

l'll be offering my first greeting to Dangun

as a citizen of Nakrang.

Thank you.

ls that the smile that stole crown princess's heart?

Her Majesty made it herself.

Wait outside.

You too.

l have a question Lady-in-waiting.

What?

You don't seem too friendly today?

CHlSO A mere solider is lowerthan a lady-in-waiting here.

l see.

l thought you were looking down on a refugee.

What do you want to ask?

ls Puku the prince's bodyguard in the palace?

l heard she was dead

but l thought l saw her when the officer

lt won't be easy foryou to settle here.

Pardon?

lt means foryou to not think.

l'll do it.

Stay still.

A prince couldn't have done anything for himself.

Thank you Mother.

Don't call me that.

l don't trust you either.

You're so kind to me even when you don't trust me.

l can't imagine how happy l'll be when you do trust me.

Make Lahee happy. Then you'll be happy.

l will.

ls Puku out of your mind?

You haven't.

l have.

l don't trust men.

Lahee is the only person l'm afraid of

and l want to trust your words.

Don't forget who saved your life.

You'd have a better life here than you could in Goguryeo

if you don't forget that.

Yes.

Since you're well enough to move about

l need you to come with me.

To where?

Prince Hodong is about to become a citizen of Nakrang.

l'll take you to the ceremony.

You look like a nobleman of Nakrang in that robe.

l'm not a nobleman but just a citizen of Nakrang My Lady.

His Majesty is coming.

Greetings Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

You came.

Through this ceremony Prince Hodong of Goguryeo

will be reborn as a citizen of Nakrang.

How dare you!

She's the priestess of Nakrang!

Goguryeo gave me birth

but l'll live the rest of my days in Nakrang.

lt's used only in the royal family

Bring the sword.

Yes, Your Majesty.

lt's the sword that accompanied me to every battlefield

while fighting for Nakrang's independence.

And now l give it to you.

Do great things for Nakrang with this sword.

What are you doing?

l heard that you and General Wang Goeng made

a pledge with blood to win Nakrang's independence.

And with your gift

Since you call me ''father'' l'll consideryou my son as well.

Father.

Officer.

Hail to the prince!

l guess there is a way out of everything.

You've been made the Prince of Nakrang

marry the crown princess.

But what happened to Puku?

l heard she was dead. Did our spy make a mistake?

How did she end up in the palace as a priestess?

Please wash your hands in pure water.

YULGUHYUN NAKRANG

Hol.

With time.

everything will be forgotten.

Only memories will remain

and yourfeelings will be scattered away like sand

and you'll find peace.

l too.

forgot my husband, your brother.

l tried so hard not to forget him but time made me forget.

Sister-in-law don't tell me you.

have feelings for me

Can l not?

This old woman has gone senile.

Just laugh it off as an old woman's nonsense.

A person's feelings for another can't be

nonsense that can be laughed off.

l hoped you wouldn't develop feelings for me.

l know l shouldn't have.

You should have a young and pretty maiden as your mate.

lt isn't because of age

or because you're not a great beauty.

The reason l can't love you as a woman is.

because to me

you're a motherto me.

As long as l live l'll give you the love

and respect l can give no other woman.

Did you call for me?

l heard that the envoys from Goguryeo are leaving.

Yes, they'll leave the palace tomorrow morning.

We must tell them of Jamyunggo before they leave.

Jamyunggo exist to prevent

war with Goguryeo.

Have the envoys see the puppet show.

You're returning without being fully recovered.

l'm worried you'll relapse on your journey.

Our king is waiting. l can't delay any longer.

Not because you're upset about our prince?

l'll leave as soon as day breaks.

l'll forever be indebted to you Your Majesty.

l am most grateful Your Majesty.

l'm glad you're well enough to leave.

But l shouldn't hold a banquet in your honor

since you can't drink yet.

l wish to entertain you in another way.

CHA CHASUNG'S THEATRE

General why are we holding a banquet in such a place?

The performance can't be held at the palace.

Please come in.

His Majesty is inside with the envoys.

Go ahead and give a big cry!

This is fun.

Don't you agree Minister?

l wish to make a big drum with your hide.

ls that all right?

Most definitely.

Let's see.

lt's a magnificent drum.

Wait a minute.

l should give you a name.

What shall l call you?

That's right.

Since you can alert the people of danger by

sounding yourself when Nakrang is under attack

l'll call you Jamyunggo.

Cha Chasung, Michu and a mystical object.

Are you that curious?

Your Highness.

l told you not to call me that.

The Prince Hodong l had once taught killed himself in Jolbon.

l, Eul Duji, a Goguryeo envoy paid my respects

to the Prince of Nakrang.

l too as the former prince of Goguryeo

will speak to Eul Duji my formerteacher.

Please forgive me for striking you.

Why did you call me?

lf my days in Goguryeo were like walking on thin ice

l'm walking on a bed of needles now.

Who are you to have me come at this hour?

So that you'll have the great general kill me again?

Don't you know that thousands of eyes are watching me

waiting for a chance to kill me in this palace?

l called you as the priestess.

That's right.

You're the priestess not Puku.

You gave up everything to become the priestess of Nakrang?

l gave up everything.

and ended up here.

So what would the mighty priestess whom the king reveres

want with this lowly refugee?

Did you really forget Puku?

And why would you want to know Priestess?

Did you abandon Puku.

from your heart?

ln my heart.

she's already dead.

Do you mean that?

Of course l do.

l thought you had let go of worldly emotions

but do you still have lingering feelings for me Priestess?

You can deceive the crown princess His Majesty

and all the people of Nakrang and Goguryeo

but l don't trust you.

Maybe you don't want to trust me.

You've lived all your life to become the King of Goguryeo.

How could you let that go so readily?

Even when you lay dying from poison in Simbeon

you couldn't give up your arm forthe throne.

lt's hard for people to change

but people change when they need to.

l...

tried to stop this marriage but

l couldn't.

You wouldn't know...

but it isn't Goguryeo or a woman's love that you need.

You need a mother's love.

The first queen is very loving and the second queen

will love you more than anybody if you truly become her son.

So?

Don't be set on becoming the King of Goguryeo.

Please become the father of the King of Nakrang.

As a good husband.

and a good father

Give the love you couldn't receive from King Daemushin

to the child you'll have with the crown princess.

And find comfort in that.

Since you're the priestess l should honoryou as one.

But don't tell me any nonsense.

l won't hear any more of it.

You won't find happiness by becoming king.

This foolish man will take your words to heart

and take his leave Priestess.

l was a fool to have answered your call.

What did l expect?

You were here?

How indecent.

You called yourself a priestess and act all holy

but it was all because of yourfeelings for Hodong.

l thought l had gotten rid of all my lingering feelings

but judging from the heartache l guess l haven't.

l need more discipline.

My mother once asked me how l could love someone to death

that was when l don't have anyone l hate to death.

Now l understand what she meant.

Don't make me want to kill you with my hands.

l don't want to sadden the first queen.

l trust you'll never call Hodong again.

KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO Hodong was made

KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO the Prince of Nakrang

and he'll even marry Choi Li's daughter.

Don't speak of that wretch.

Something greater is in my mind.

ls this about that mystical object?

lt's all made up.

People are simple.

Ourtroops' morale will drop when they hearthat

Nakrang has a mystical object.

lt is enormous.

Just how big is this Jamyunggo?

A bull Dangun bestowed on Father can't be the size

of an ordinary bull.

You don't believe it.

Do you?

There have been many sacred drums in the past.

JUPARYONG / Alligator-like animal with small mouth Gl / Animal with cow-like cry A dragon drum and Huangdi's drum

JUPARYONG / Alligator-like animal with small mouth Gl / Animal with cow-like cry made from Gi's hide.

WEOLSU KlNGDOM Today's Sichuan Xichang area There was also a mystical bull in Weolsu.

They're all old fables.

You as the crown princess must believe

in the mystical object of Nakrang.

You say that but you don't seem to believe it either.

lt's not important whether l believe it or not.

lf the people of Nakrang and the soldiers of

Goguryeo believe it there is a mystical object.

Why don't we go and see for ourselves?

You cannot.

How dare you!

The Crown Princess of Nakrang wishes to see it!

His Majesty has ordered that anyone who

sets foot in the temple except the priestess and

His Majesty himself will be killed.

Jamyunggo will be under my rule the day l become queen.

Am ljust anyone?

Yes.

You're not the priestess

and you have yet succeeded the throne.

There's only one way

to find out about if mystical drum really exists.

How will you do that?

Have 600 Gwanna soldiers cross the Mukbang border.

ls it war?

Paesu won't freeze for anothertwo seasons.

The hungry Gwanna soldiers have snuck into Nakrang

without permission.

That's a great idea Your Majesty.

Mukbang, Minbong, Algi and Eunpo.

We have set up military bases in these areas and

stationed Younghojangwon's troops and priestesses.

We have resolved military problems

but l wonder if Jamyunggo will really sound itself.

lf we know where the enemy is coming from

the drum will sound itself.

Your Majesty!

What is it?

Goguryeo troops are assembling in Mukbang.

lt's war!
