Episode 23

You killed the Queen Dowager and seized the throne.

How dare you claim the sovereign seal and take over the crown?

You're the one responsible for the queen's death.

What did you say?

The king delivered this seal to me himself.

This isn't a revolt. The king has bestowed the throne onto me.

Isn't that right, Your Highness?

How could you allow the Prime Minister to unjustly seize the throne?

What are you doing?

Arrest Prince Wolgang!

- Arrest him! - Yes!

Now... Transport!

He just disappeared.

What just happened?

My Prince.

Did you plan to drag me here from the beginning?

If you think I'd blindly risk my strength to come see you

then you still don't know anything about me.

I see.

I'll kill you here then.

Before then, there's something you need to see.

This...

It's the serpent god.

Sadam's evil power comes from here.

Sadam's promise to give you the throne is a lie he told to awake this demon.

If the serpent awakes...

this country will fall under Yongsin power.

Come out of Sadam's power, Prime Minister.

All this about Sadam and the serpent. It's all nonsense.

These are all lies because you want to become king.

Give me the seal.

It's mine!

Hand it over right now!

Wolgang. Wolgang!

Are you safe, My Prince?

- I'm fine. - The seal. Did you find it?

Here it is.

We must go before the spell ends and the Prime Minister appears.

Queen Dowager. I will return no matter what.

Until then, please wait a while longer.

Your Majesty. Will you hand over the throne to the Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister has already taken over the military. What else can I do?

Your Highness. Put out an order out immediately. Kill the Prime Minister.

Your Highness. The Queen Dowager has awaken.

- The Queen Dowager? - Yes, Your Highness.

My Queen.

Queen Dowager.

My Queen... I tried my best to protect Rin.

Everything is my fault.

I know you've tried your best to protect Rin.

Hearing you say that warms up an old woman's heart.

Queen Dowager, I am so relieved you're awake. I am so relieved.

Your Majesty.

Please give the throne to Prince Wolgang.

That's the way to protect the country and the throne.

It's also the only way to protect you.

How can you always be thinking of Wolgang?

I'm not talking about who I favor more.

I'm talking about who will be able to protect the kingship.

That's what I'm talking about.

The heavy burden you've had to carry...

hand it over to Wolgang, Your Majesty.

Queen Dowager.

This grandmother of yours...

this is her last request.

Your Majesty. Please...

Give up the crown.

Wolgang! Where are you?

Come here! Wolgang!

Wolgang!

Go away.

Go away. Go...

Prime Minister, you were here?

You...

Your face... how...

I will get you out of here.

This is...

Wolgang tricked you using black magic he learned from the Night Watchmen.

Black magic?

What happened to the seal?

Wolgang stole the seal!

What happened, Prime Minister?

Prince Wolgang stole the sovereign seal. Find him this instant!

- Go find Wolgang! - Yes!

My Prince! My Prince!

The Queen Dowager is awake! The heavens have blessed us!

- Is that true? - Yes.

I am so relieved. We don't have to worry anymore.

Rin.

How did you get here?

I was worried about you. I couldn't stay away.

No. Hurry and go back.

You don't know when the Prime Minister will be back. Hurry.

Queen Dowager.

Rin.

Don't resent the king.

You and the king are bound by flesh and blood.

Your heart is wounded.

Take care of it.

Don't you worry.

I'll heed your words.

Thank you Rin.

How did your body change into this?

It's a sign that the Yongsin serpent is close to awakening.

Soon you won't be able to handle my powers.

Give me the seal.

If you don't hand it over...

it will cost you the Queen Dowager's life.

What did you say?

Who do you think you're threatening?

Stop it right now!

If you want to save the queen, hand over the sovereign seal, My Prince.

No Rin.

Don't do it Rin.

That object... can save millions... and protect the throne.

Don't give it up, Rin.

Queen Dowager.

Keep your mouth shut.

Here it is.

Let go of the queen.

No Rin!

Queen Dowager!

Queen Dowager!

Queen Dowager.

Queen Dowager.

Queen Dowager...

I couldn't protect you.

I'm sorry.

The Prime Minister paid a visit during the night.

Yes.

It's so unfortunate that she had to die at the hands of her own flesh and blood.

Prime Minister. How could you say such things?

The person who did this to the queen--

Prince Wolgang is responsible for the queen's death. Don't you agree?

Don't you agree Your Highness?

You're right Prime Minister.

Arrest Prince Wolgang for killing the Queen Dowager this instant!

Your Highness. Did you call for me?

The Queen Dowager is dead.

It wasn't Wolgang, but the Prime Minister who did it.

The Prime Minister will try to do something.

What should we do?

If you are in danger, I will protect you.

Very good.

Only you remain loyal to the king.

But how will you overtake the Prime Minister and his army?

Queen Dowager.

How will I repay you for all that you've done?

I promise. I will do whatever it takes to protect the throne.

Please, I hope...

you rest in peace.

Rin's probably very tired.

Do Ha, you should take care of him.

Rang.

Did something happen to you? You look weak.

It's time for me to leave.

That's why I'm this way.

What do you mean you're leaving? Why?

Do Ha.

Now the Queen Dowager is dead.

My Rin really has no one else on his side.

This is a very lonely time for Rin.

Please take care of Rin.

Prince Wolgang and Sadam.

They both use magic.

In the future, both will pose a great threat.

Just give me the order.

We need to eliminate those in our way.

Father, there is a rumor that the prince is responsible for the queen's death.

What's going on?

It's Prince Wolgang's doing. I saw it with my own eyes.

That's not true. You're using him as a scapegoat.

I will find Prince Wolgang and kill him.

- What? - I will cut off his head.

I will make him an example of what happens when someone dares to defy me.

You cannot, Father I won't let that happen!

What will you do?

Sadam, the Prime Minister has ordered for your arrest.

The Prime Minister is being foolish.

- Arrest the criminal! - Yes!

Sadam, you bastard!

You used your black magic to defy the throne!

I will kill you!

Humans...

How could they be so foolish?

What did you say?

I'm the one who gave you power and put you in this position.

If you go against me, don't you know your power and your life will come to an end?

Shut his mouth!

Yes sir.

- Arrest him! - Yes sir!

What are you trying to do?

This is all because of your foolishness.

Your soul, like all the others, will go to the Yongsin god.

What's wrong with the Prime Minister?

He looks like he's lost his senses.

The Prime Minister will never live in his right mind again.

Has he gone insane?

Since he has gone against you, let us give him the utmost punishment.

This means...

he won't be able to defy me again.

Prime Minister.

You asserted such power. You even killed the queen.

How did you become so weak?

Now you know what happens when you try to go against the king.

Father.

Father. What happened to you?

Who did this to you?

Father... Father.

Father.

Father. Father!

Father... Father!

Father!

What have you done to my father?

Your father is experiencing the consequences of his own greed.

Let my father go immediately.

Right now!

Are you giving me an order right now?

I beg of you. Save my father.

I will go through the treasury and give you more offerings.

Will 1,000,000 yang be enough?

I don't need anymore offerings.

Then what do you want?

The seal in Prince Wolgang's possession...

Bring it to me.

You want me to betray the prince?

I can't do that.

I can betray the world to save my father's life if I have to.

But I could never betray the prince.

Then I can't save the Prime Minister's life.

Think it over well.

My lady.

Sadam's power has grown beyond the Night Watchmen's control.

The only way to stop Sadam is to get rid of the serpent.

Then we need to find the divine object.

Where could Sadam have hidden it?

He probably hid the object his prayer room.

It's the first time I've encountered a place where ghosts couldn't enter.

Yes, I slammed into its wall. It must be there.

Prince Wolgang!

The Prime Minister's daughter is looking for you again.

So the Prime Minister is held captive?

Sadam used my father's guards against him and captured him.

My Prince. Please help me.

Sadam has gained too much power. There is nothing I can do right now.

In order to beat Sadam's strength, we need to find the divine object.

The divine object?

Do you mean the Divine Bow?

My lady.

Have you seen it before?

I've seen him use it in his prayer room.

In his prayer room...

That must be it.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Lady Soo Ryun saw the divine object placed in the prayer room.

We need to bring the divine object.

I find it suspicious that Sadam keeps his divine object in such an obvious place.

There will definitely be some kind of spell protecting it.

Even if there is a spell, I will break it.

- My Prince... - I need to find the divine object.

Just as my father did, I will kill the serpent.

My prince!

Weapons and talismans won't do any good.

What do we do?

Please step aside.

This is the bow that the king used to shoot the serpent god.

I will use this divine object to kill the serpent.

We must kill the serpent before Sadam returns.

I will stand guard.

What's that sound?

The serpent feels the presence of the divine object. It is fearful.

You all have moved exactly as I expected.

So this is the sovereign seal that protects the Joseon throne.

You can't.

Hand over the sovereign seal.

You don't have much time to live anyway.

Cherish your last moments.

My Prince, you've walked into your own grave.

We'll see whose grave this becomes.

The seal that you took.

I drew you all here so I could take it back.

Do Ha!

I'll protect Do Ha. Escape the spell.

You must kill the serpent.

Escape!

The weapon most dangerous to the master. The divine object.

There is only one weapon that can block the powers of the divine object.

It's this magic flute.

The divine object is a weapon sent from the heavens.

This flute has also been sent from the heavens.

This flute will overpower the bow.

And it will protect the Yongsin master.

No!

What happened with the serpent?

The divine bow...

The divine bow was destroyed.

What do you mean?

Nothing can stop the serpent now.

Now nothing stands in the way of Yongsin's power.

The lineage of Joseon kings will come to an end.

Why won't you let my father go?

You told me you'd let my father go if I gave you the prince and Night Watchmen!

I believed your promise and betrayed the prince.

Let go of my father right now.

Sure.

I made a promise with you.

But I never said I'd restore your father's sanity.

He destroyed his own soul because of his foolish greed.

There's nothing I can do about that.

I am the king!

Release the king!

Father!

Father!

Father.

I've been a fool.

Just as you became this way because of your greed

I ruined everything because of my obsession with the prince.

I am the king of Joseon.

Father.

Father.

See? What did I tell you? The crown is mine.

Neither Wolgang or the Prime Minister will take it from me.

Still, you're nothing more than a scarecrow.

You got through it this time, but what if someone like Park Soo Jong appears again?

Will you beg and grovel again?

As long as Sadam is by my side, that won't happen.

All you say is 'Sadam', 'Sadam.'

- Sadam is after your spot too. - Be quiet!

Sadam wouldn't do that!

Your Highness. Sadam is coming.

Welcome. You are the only subject loyal to the king.

Your Highness.

This is for the ceremony to commemorate the completion of Changjeon Tower.

Please set the date for the ceremony.

Everyone will come to see your greatness.

That's right. I'll do that.

If that's what you want, I'll do that.

I will set up a great ceremony.

When we make the offering to the Yongsin god, you'll become my puppet.

The people of Joseon will become Yongsin's slaves.

I don't have the right.

I've destroyed the divine bow and lost the sovereign seal.

We didn't know Sadam's power had grown so great.

I didn't know Sadam would use Lady Soo Ryun.

Now there's no way to beat the serpent god.

We have no chance.

My Prince. It isn't over yet.

If Sadam can't have me as an offering, the serpent god won't come to life.

So don't be too worried.

Are you feeling all right?

It's my fault I couldn't stop Sadam.

My lord.

Please go inside.

I've made your bed since you look so pale these days.

Well, I...

Do Ha, your energy level's fine, right?

- You too, Moo Seok? - I'm fine. Go ahead.

- But... - Look at that.

They say it's fine. Let's go inside.

Hurry let's go inside.

We have to be especially careful of Sadam now.

I won't fall prey to Sadam again.

I won't lose my life to the serpent god.

Don't say things like that.

The prince and I will protect you, even Sang Heon.

You won't lose your life.

What are you doing here?

No matter how much I beg for forgiveness, I know I can't take back what I've done.

It's the least I can do for the prince.

Rin.

Anyone can make a mistake.

Don't fall into despair and give up.

Otherwise, you lose your chance.

So be strong.

Mother, I must not have the talent for this.

Rin.

No one does well from the beginning.

You fail at times.

But don't fall into despair and give up.

Otherwise, you lose your chance.

Be strong.

Mother!

I hit the target!

Rang.

Rang.

How did you get this?

Lady Soo Ryun asked me to bring it to you.

Lady!

You must not make a deal with Sadam. He is evil.

Working with him will cost you greatly one day.

I may have committed a great crime against the prince.

But I don't want to hear those words from you.

Lady.

Even if I can't be with the prince

you made the prince and me fall into this mess.

I can't forgive that.

I'm not here to take you.

Sadam wanted me to show you this.

But this belongs to my shaman mentor.

- How did you get this? - Follow me if you want to know.

Do whatever you want. But if you don't follow...

your mentor and the entire Mago tribe will die.

What have you done with my mentor?

What becomes of your mentor all depends on what you choose.

What?

If you willingly offer yourself to the Yongsin god, only you will die.

But if you resist...

it goes without saying your mentor will die. And so will the entire Mago tribe.

You pathetic monster!

I don't hide the motives and methods behind getting what I want.

The word pathetic belongs to losers.

Do Ha!

Do Ha!

What did you say?

Do Ha was captured by Sadam?

She wasn't captured. The thing is...

If she wasn't captured, what? So frustrating...

The thing is, I think she went there willingly.

Why would Do Ha have gone willingly?

I think Sadam threatened her with the lives of the Mago tribe.

What?

The Mago tribe?

Get out of my way.

My Prince.

You mustn't act rashly.

We don't have a chance of winning.

Do you mean we should leave Do Ha in Sadam's hands?

They'll hold the tower's sacrificial ceremony soon.

We'll rescue Do Ha then.

I will put in my sincerest efforts to help you.

Even if I have to risk my life

I will stop the serpent god.

The Changjeon Tower has been completed.

Tonight we will hold a sacrificial ceremony.

Everyone is expected to attend.

The Joseon people will see your greatness.

Long live the king.

Is there no way to stop the serpent god if we don't have the Divine Bow?

It's the only weapon I know of.

There must be a way to stop the serpent god even without the divine object.

How can you be so sure?

You once told me

there is no such thing as an immortal being.

No matter how powerful the serpent god...

there must be a way to stop it.

If there is a way, it's probably written here.

I don't have many days left in this world.

I want to help Rin one last time.

It's hard enough for you to stay in this world.

If you exert too much effort, you may lose your soul.

If it's for my son Rin, I am willing to disappear from this world.

I'll have no regrets.

That's right.

This is it.

Tonight's the sacrificial ceremony.

Tonight marks the completion of the Changjeon Tower.

A new heaven will open to the land of Joseon.

Begin the ceremony!

Bring the Mago shaman.

The heavens will not forgive you!

Tie her up.

To the Yongsin gods...

I offer you the Mago shaman.

Please show yourself.

We must hurry. The ceremony has already started.

Offer your blood to the Yongsin god.

Do Ha!

My Prince.

What kind of monster is that?

Your Highness, you must escape.

The tower is falling apart!

What have I done?

The Changjeon Tower has fallen. What do we do?

You will do as I say. Put it up immediately.

- Say the order. - My Prince!

Take care of Do Ha.
