-=In (Heuksa Chorong, Human Lord)=-

Your Royal Highness, protect your royal body.

-=Crown Prince Sado=-

-=Yu Ji Seon=-

-=Baek Dong Su=-

You... That... That silver dagger. (Women of rank wore ornamental silver dagger as chest pendant to symbolize their social standing)

-=Hwang Jin Ju=-

What?

-=Yeo Un=-

Is it possible to melt this spear and forge it into a sword?

This one is really a very good spear!

Did you find this?

It belonged to my Father.

But the spearhead is a little small.

To forge it into a complete sword would be a little difficult.

Would it be possible to make it shorter and a little narrower?

It would cost 2 Yang.

Yes.

T... Thief!

Move aside.

Ajussi, stop there! (Ajussi - older man, uncle)

Ajussi!

Ajussi.

I'll borrow this for a while.

Hey...this kid!

Hey, how come you were able to follow us?

It's nothing.

It just happened.

You are the most disgraceful thing in this village.

You are this world's cheapest and worthless thing.

You... trouble-maker!

Of all professions... why be a thief?

Hey... What's this?

Chestnut.

Pickpockets like you...

should be handed over to the constable office and be taught a lesson.

No!

I did not lose anything.

A human's worth is not measured by wealth

but by the person's behavior.

So please let him go.

-That fellow escaped! -That bastard!

Hey, let's go.

Come and buy pepper! Pepper!

Thank you very much.

You... this kid!

-Come with me. -Ajussi.

Ajussi.

-=Huang Jin Gi=-

Jin Ju!

How do you do?

I am going.

All right...

Walk carefully.

But, you...

What?

In future, when you have grown up...

will you marry me?

Am I insane?

To marry a forceful brat like you...

Come quickly!

Very good.

-Thank you. -Walk carefully.

Very good.

I don't know!

The palace rice has not been wasted on you. At least you have some skills.

With a great person like me in front of you, why are you looking at others and ignoring me?

This rude brat!

Scream if it hurts.

That way, it won't hurt as much.

Do you know why I'm not killing you?

I need you alive...

So that everyone can recognize...

that the person on the verge of death is the Crown Prince.

Look at the high and mighty Crown Prince. And today, what state will he be reduced to?

Just wait here and see.

Although they said not to leave a scar on the high and mighty Crown Prince,

but how can that be...

There is no other way but to leave a scar.

This is a tough world...

This will be farewell, how is that?

Ready... Goodbye... Your Highness Crown Prince.

Hold on.

And who is this guy?

Me?

Look around you, who else would it be?

I'm just a person passing through.

Then just continue passing through, kid.

Is this kid crazy?

This kid didn't do anything wrong.

Just being here is a crime!

Kid, you will be next...

Just wait a little.

Why are you all just standing there?

He is waiting.

Quickly send him on his way.

Ajussi, come with me.

Looks like the little kid really is crazy!

All right, let's put an end to this.

I've already said goodbye so many times today.

Be safe, Your Royal Highness Crown Prince!

Your Royal Highness!

Let go of me!

Your Royal Highness!

-That is the taste of death... -Your Royal Highness.

This is the moment I feel the happiest.

Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness.

Crown Prince, Sir... looks like you are still alive.

Shall I apply some oil on you?

Bring the oil here.

Your Royal Highness!

Pour it!

Pour it all!

Your Royal Highness.

Fire!

Your Royal Highness, Sir.

You must endure it even if it's hot.

Your Royal Highness!

Even I wouldn't be able to escape from something like this.

I wish you a happy journey... and also prepare a good place for me.

It's burning really brightly.

Your Royal Highness.

You rascal...

Aren't you feeling too sad?

You rascal.

Just wait and see.

I will definitely take off your head.

Among all those received "just wait and see" from me,

there hasn't been one that came to see...

No... they've always been looking at me.

Kid, for everything that you saw today... tell the truth.

Do not exaggerate them and report everything back to the King.

He's gone... Completely gone...

This ending is really a little bit depressing.

Leaving like that... when will you return...

I will also follow... but after a hundred years.

Your Royal Highness!

Your Royal Highness!

-Your Royal Highness! -Until we meet again.

Your Royal Highness.

How come I haven't seen the Crown Prince around?

Your Majesty. Lately, -=Hong Pung Han (Crown Prince Sado's Father-in-law, Leader of the Noron Faction)=-

the Crown Prince leaves the palace whenever he wishes.

There are censures coming from the city.

-=Yeong Jo=- The Crown Prince's actions are getting irresponsible.

Your lowly subject worries that this will affect the Crown Prince's chance of succeeding the throne.

We cannot continue to ignore this situation.

I am aware of the Crown Prince's capability.

You only have to lead the rest of the court officials and concentrate on the preparation for Daesarye.

-=Daesarye or Royal Archery Ceremony: A ceremony which the King takes shots together with royal clansmen and civil and military ministers.=- As long as the Crown Prince is present

there is nothing to worry about.

Why do you say so?

The Archery Contest is the most important ceremony under the Military Decorum. How can the Crown Prince not show up?

All right. If it happens according to what you mentioned and the Crown Prince won't show up,

I will dethrone the Crown Prince and make him a commoner on the spot.

-=Dethronement: When princes and princesses are charged with a felony, they are stripped off their titles and become commoners.=-

-=Dethronement: When princes and princesses are charged with a felony, they are stripped off their titles and made commoners.=-

Please explain. How does it involve the Crown Prince again?

Didn't you know that the Noron faction have been scrutinizing us Sorons?

-That's why we're very worried. -They really won't compromise.

What happened?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is facing a new crisis.

-=Im Su Ung, Training Commander=- His Highness the Crown Prince is facing a new crisis.

-=Im Su Ung, Training Commander=-

Your Royal Highness.

Aren't you Han Ju?

Exactly what happened?

His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness, he...

Is the owner of this derelict house a descendant of the Royal Guard Yu Sang Do?

Yes.

He is.

You wait here for me.

Commander!

It is real pity not to witness the death of the Crown Prince.

-=Cheon (Heuksa Chorong Sky Lord)=-

Is it confirmed?

Yes.

There is no need for a confirmation.

We don't have to see it to know that he has fallen into hell.

Why are you staring at me so intensely?

Your eyes are sparking flames!

Not only is the corpse bloated due to immersion in water,

it has been doused in kerosene and burnt. There is no way to confirm its identity.

Then, you have done your best.

Hell of Fire Torture.

I like this term.

Rumors that the Crown Prince is dead is already spreading around Hanyang.

I will believe your words.

Come... Come...

Let's drink wine and celebrate.

Come... Come...

You... Baek Dong Su. You rotten brat.

Where have you been?

How come you only came back now?

Stop staring! And...

how are you going to avenge for your parents in your current state?

I maybe late but I did not waste the time playing.

I saved a man from death.

You... this fellow! This fellow.

Do you even know how to rescue people?

No.

Even if I did not rescue anyone

why do you have to beat me?

You brat!

Go inside!

It really hurts... so painful.

Tell me the truth...

What exactly did you do? Why are you back just now?

Didn't I already tell you

that the assassins want to kill someone?

Do you think that assassins are so commonly seen like a neighbor's dog?

-=Heuk Sa Mo=- Do you think that assassins are so commonly seen like a neighbor's dog?

And, the well is in the courtyard. How did you get out from the river?

If you're telling a lie make sure it sounds logical!

Really...

Really.

It is true.

Ah, this fellow!

Commander.

Your Royal Highness.

-=Sword Saint, Gim Gwang Taek (Joseon Best Swordsman)=-

Have you selected the War Books?

Yes.

You have worked hard.

Han Ju, you don't look so well.

Did you have an accident last night?

No, it's not.

You all worked hard.

Pay more attention during the Archery Contest, and ensure that nobody gets injured!

Yes.

That's right... Have you seen His Royal Highness today?

This is really worrying!

His Majesty is getting tired of His Royal Highness' antics

and has announced of his intention to dethrone him.

His Royal Highness must attend the contest today.

Isn't it right?

Why isn't the Crown Prince here yet?

My Lord,

the Crown Prince hasn't returned since this morning.

Your Majesty, it's getting late.

The Archery Contest is of the utmost importance under the Military Decorum, the absence of the Crown Prince...

is intolerable.

Your Majesty should not continue to indulge the Crown Prince's reckless actions.

Your Majesty, please give your consent to dethrone the Crown Prince and make him a commoner!

What do you mean?

Prime Minister,

who exactly are you dethroning into a commoner?

Eat some more.

Why... what is wrong?

You said yourself that you want to learn martial arts.

Where will we go?

Today, both of you will enter the Warrior Camp.

Where?

Where is it?

Sa Mo, you're not the one who'll teach us?

I just want to stay here.

It's really impossible for you to concentrate even for a moment!

Why are you hitting me?

What happened exactly?

Because of you, I made an embarrassment of myself!

Are you feeling better?

That impertinent, brazen kid.

Your Royal Highness,

you must take good care of your heath.

What?

I don't think we should trust those words.

That.. Is His Royal Highness fine?

Yes.

Fortunately it wasn't anything serious.

This is really fortunate!

You kid...

What?

How did you know our well is connected to the small creek?

Ah... that isn't anything special.

The well has bonito fish.

Bonito fish.

Bonito, don't you know?

A fish that swims straight to the sea once hatched.

Will it be able to survive in the well?

Looks like you aren't that stupid after all.

This rascal, really!

This is the living quarters of the family guarding the Bukbeoljigye.

-=Bukbeoljigye - the Northern Expedition strategy war book that King Hyojong left behind=- This is the living quarters of the family guarding the Bukbeoljigye.

They must have dug this well as a precaution.

What a wise kid!

That's not wise, that's just being clever.

You naughty kid.

Your little tricks are really working this time round.

Aishh.

But how did...

Heuksa Chorong know about it?

-=Heuksa Chorong, Qing Dynasty, Assassin Group=- Heuksa Chorong know about it?

I think that the Heuksa Chorong

have been looking for the Bukbeoljigye for a long time too.

Maybe they knew about the residence registered under Yu Sang Do's name

and that the current residents had the clue, but they still failed to find the Bukbeoljigye.

His Lordship must be very disappointed.

That is...

Is it Go Sang?

Yes.

You want to see it?

Do you have it now?

Yes. His Lordship gave it to me for safekeeping temporarily.

There are words that can serve as evidence.

But based on these two words alone, it is impossible to uncover its meanings.

Sa Mo.

I think I know.

Stop your nonsense. If you know the meaning

it simply won't be evidence at all. Give it.

What is this!

You didn't even hear what I have to say and ignored me straight.

When have I ever lied?

You little kid. You can be quite stubborn.

Alright, then tell me about it.

This... isn't it the O Sang Go Jae?

-=O Sang Go Jae: the unyielding spirit of a loyal subject even under extremely cold conditions=- This... isn't it the O Sang Go Jae?

O Sang Go Jae -=O Sang Go Jae: the unyielding spirit of a loyal subject even under extremely cold conditions=-

That... Yes, it is possible. -=O Sang Go Jae: the unyielding spirit of a loyal subject even under extremely cold conditions=-

That... Yes, it is possible.

But it might also be wrong.

We can't confirm.

With these two words, we are able to form hundreds and thousands of terms.

Don't talk if you don't know.

There... over the cave on the South Hill.

A family wrote a big O Sang Go Jae and hung it on their door.

Who knows?

The house that Ajussi is looking for might be that one.

Where is that family?

What?

Have the descendants of Yu Sang Do been found?

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

I shall immediately...

Your Royal Highness.

Please take care of your health first.

Hello.

You came.

Yes, 2 Yang.

Then I shall hand this sword over to you in its place.

Let me see.

Not enough money?

This is a good sword.

It must be worth quite a lot.

Just keep it.

Really? That's great!

Here, hold it.

What kind of sword is that?

This sword is made from the spearhead father used.

Really? You did a good job!

Let's go. Hurry.

Just now that Lordship...

Who is he?

That person...

Brat.

Do you understand?

Dong Su, you kid.

You have done something that you can't even imagine!

What?

Kid... Dong Su! Dong Su! Dong Su!

Where are we going exactly?

I don't care where it is. I can't walk anymore.

I'm not going!

Do you use your mouth to walk?

Bastard! Did you eat something flirty behind my back?

I've said I'm not going!

-=Jang Yong Wi=-

-=Jang Dae Po=-

You rascal!

Whoever allowed you to enter without warning?

You ignorant fool.

Alright.

Let's have a duel today.

Alright.

Sa Mo hyeong!

It's you!

Exactly what have you been doing?

Why did you only come now?

It's been a while I've had a good sleep since I missed Sa Mo hyeongnim.

Hey... That...

-What are you doing? -Hyeongnim.

Dong Su, be good.

Do the things I taught you. Understand?

Don't worry.

If you don't feel good anywhere...

-at any time. -It no longer happens.

I know.

I suppose...

with your ability to argue there's nothing that you can't do.

Well, you know that his health isn't that good.

I told you it's nothing.

Sa Mo.

I won't... see you again in the future?

Dong Su... Do not give up. You must become strong.

You must become a warrior that Hyeongnim can be proud of.

The dreams that the sunbae could not complete... (Sunbae - mentor)

You must accomplish them.

-=Yeo Un=-

-=Baek Dong Su=-

-=Yeo Un=- -=Baek Dong Su=-

Well...

As you can see, this time a total of 50 people have been recruited to the Warrior Camp.

You have to go through all the training in this camp to became real warriors.

Possibly 50 people or not even a single one will pass.

-Do you understand? -Yes. -Oh...

Oh? This fellow.

Why did you hit me?

Ajussi, why did you hit me?

Ajussi? You little brat...

You brat, how did Sa Mo educate you

to become this rude?

Huh?

Listen carefully, little brat.

I am not "Ajussi", but the captain of the Warrior Camp.

And also...

your uncle.

To live up to my Hyeongnims' expectations...

you two have to do this well.

Do you understand?

-Yes. -Yes.

Here...

Aigoo... This guy...

Eat more...

You must use chopsticks and only with the left hand.

What? Where in the world is there law like this?

What? This guy...

Ah!

Your name is Cho Rip?

Yes, Yang Cho Rip.

-=Yang Cho Rip=- Yes, Yang Cho Rip.

Hello.

Who is he?

Don't mind him.

But, why did you come here?

It's a secret.

I want to become Joseon's best blacksmith.

From what I see...

This profession has a bright future.

But you?

How come you are here?

I...

I want to become Joseon's best swordsman.

Hahaha...

What?

Ah...

From the looks of it, you will suffer in the future...

And you...

Hello.

Who are you?

Me?

I am the daughter of the Ajussi standing behind you.

Daughter...

Didn't I tell you to be careful of how you are doing things?

Go inside now!

Hey. I heard that you have some skills.

Go outside.

Why?

You want to taste my fist?

Go outside now.

Sorry...

but I am someone who cannot bear to lose.

But you... Aren't you always losing?

This rascal...

I know already. I am very tired.

Let's end this quickly.

Get up! Get up!

Quickly get up! Quick!

Really...

Why are there so many stones?

Quickly get up!

Stop... You'd better stop.

Yeo Un... Yeo Un!

Ah... what is this...

So boring... really...

He fights well...

Ah...

Ah!

-Quickly, come out quickly. -Hey, what's happening?

This guy. Hey... really...

Hey, let's go together...

But, why are we carrying this when we run?

You didn't hear?

What?

If you are last, you can't eat.

What are you saying?

Didn't Dae Po ajussi say that no matter what, there will be rice to eat?

That's right... Except for the last one.

Really.

There are only 2 things I am afraid of in this world...

One is to starve...

The other is to lose.

Is this the house?

Yes.

Let's keep it short...

Bring out the Bukbeoljigye.

-=Yu So Gang=- Bring out the Bukbeoljigye.

-=Yu So Gang=- Your Royal Highness...

Your Royal Highness.

Show me the proof please.

Your Royal Highness.

I, Yu So Gang... at your service.

What did you say?

The Bukbeoljigye is not here?

-=Bukbeoljigye - the Northern Expedition strategy war book that King Hyojong left behind=- The Bukbeoljigye is not here?

-=Bukbeoljigye - the Northern Expedition strategy war book that King Hyojong left behind=- As a precaution...

As a precaution...

I've kept it at Cheong Am Temple.

Chong Am Temple...

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Just give me a little more time.

We've already waited for a hundred years...

What is waiting a few more days.

Yes.

What is it you want to say?

Ji Seon come in.

Come and greet.

I am Yu Ji Seon.

Sit.

Is this your daughter?

Yes.

At the same time... she's also His Royal Highness's woman.

Do you want your daughter to enter the palace and be a palace maiden?

Not like that.

This child...

must never be touched by anybody except for Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness,

this is also the agreement made with the King.

What am I to do?

I can only say

Ji Seon... that you are His Royal Highness's woman.

Father...

There is nothing else to say.

I am going to Chong Am Temple.

You prepare yourself and wait for me.

It is certain that it is the Bukbeoljigye.

My Lord, what do you plan to do?

The Crown Prince is starting to move.

Then I... must live up to his expectations.

Mmm...

You do not care about wealth right?

You just want to live freely like the clouds.

But you can't drop that heavy burden

on your shoulders that easily.

Therefore...

do you want to carry that burden?

Isn't the answer obvious?

After finding the Bukbeoljigye and presenting it to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty...

You can live the kind of life that you want.

You can enjoy it wholeheartedly.

That is uncertain.

Our life... such a thing...

when did it ever go the way we think it would be.

Pardon me if I am rude.

This matter...

I would like you to handle it personally.

I will think about it.

Starting today...

I want to test to see if you are all qualified to be part of the Warrior Camp.

If you are not confident...

you can stay on this island.

Either starving to death or drowning on this island,

the outcome will be the same.

You must survive on your own.

Those that will survive...

can become a real member of the Warrior Camp.

What to do? What to do?

Hey, surely not...

It's not real right?

From the looks of it... it's not fake.

But... I can't swim well.

Really bad.

What am I to do... What do I do?

What else can you do?

Try to survive on your own.

Hey, let's go.

Wait, wait!

From what I feel, it's better to starve to death.

You will not die. Let's go.

Wait, wait!

It will be all right. Let's go.

Save me!

Quickly, save me.

Save me, save me.

A person who reaches the destination not with his own strength...

will ultimately be eliminated.

But still... this is better than dying.

If you are afraid of death, you won't be able to accomplish anything.

Even if you are conscious of death...

there are still matters that you cannot accomplish.

Do you think learning martial arts is a joke?

This is not the mountainside

where you play around.

It is the Warrior Camp.

No.

If abandoning a good friend is martial arts,

I would rather not be one.

What did you say?

If by killing my comrade I'm considered a martial artist...

Killers... Assassins... What's the difference compared to a killer?

What's the difference compared to a killer?

If learning martial arts is to do such things,

I do not wish to continue learning.

-=Next Week Preview=-

I will certainly drag you to hell.

Can you accomplish that?

You fellow actually dare to...

You must catch it like this.

So as to not hurt the wrist.

The long-awaited first task turned out to be such a trivial matter.

We need to have at least an assassin gang for our opponent.

My true ability will eventually come out.

With your strength, if we meet an assassin gang...

we will die on that day.

Come follow me.

I thought that I will finally meet a decent man...

But he's just a little kid?

What, kid? Just a little kid?

What? Kid...

His skill is really strange!

It's a self-defense skill.

Do you wish to learn?
