Revenge?

If your servant were to be brokenhearted because of that matter, and turn into a useless person,

all I will be left with, will be a layer of skin.

To overcome that, I must become indispensable to this country.

A really strong person, and a real man.

And make you regret thereafter.

Your Majesty, and Her Majesty.

That is how your servant dreamt revenge will be.

And also, that revenge, gives rise to a path that leads me to Baekje and the people of Baekje.

So, have you realized your dream yet?

Not yet.

To recover all the surrounding territory of Danghang City. Only then can I be called a hero of Baekje.

Are you intending to attack Danghang City?

We have to attack.

-= Episode 25 =-

Are you hurt anywhere?

How could I not sustain any injury?

I've been stabbed, cut and pounded.

There's not a place that's intact.

But when I was attacking the city with General Gye Baek,

the pain would disappear.

The General, he's not injured, is he?

No, not even once. Don't worry.

And if anyone should be brave enough to even touch him, I'd kill them.

How could he have sustained any injuries?

That's a relief.

So when will you be returning to the palace?

We have to attack quickly. Why are we delaying it.

His Majesty won't delay it much longer.

Enter!

What's this?

Clothes. It's also cold in Sabi City, let alone here.

I made it with my own hands.

Did you really make this for me?

Yes.

Furthermore, you made two sets?

No, one is for...

That's what I suspected.

Why don't you give it to him personally?

Cho Yeong.

We'll be setting out tomorrow.

You are here.

I came to give Cho Yeong something.

Then I'll...

Why are you like this? Giving me something is just an excuse.

Don't be disrespectful.

Don't you know that I've always been an ill mannered person?

Then, I will just take my leave.

Keep safe.

Your Highness.

Are you happy?

I'm still alive.

How can you say such words?

You must be happy.

If you should still feel a little apologetic towards me,

discard every bit of it.

In these 7 years

I've thrown myself at the mountains and erased everything. That's how I've lived.

Now,

I've forgotten everything.

What's left now,

is the smell of blood from the war, and ensuring Baekje's wealth and military strength.

And my zeal.

Is that so?

Yes.

Then, so be it.

I belong to His Majesty.

You're His Majesty's servant and also his brother, General.

As a General, how can there be any personal feelings between us anymore?

You are so wise, General.

You should in future, strive your best to be a loyal servant to His Majesty.

I want to forget everything.

Now, I've forgotten everything.

What's left now,

is the smell of blood from the war, and ensuring Baekje's wealth and military strength.

And my zeal.

When I think of you, it feels like a huge rock is pressing down on my chest.

The weather has turned cold. If these clothes can protect you from the wind,

will this ease my heart a little?

I hope that you'll be safe in the war.

This is my wish for you. Eun Go.

Have you seen Gye Baek?

Yes, by chance.

You must have felt very emotional?

I did feel emotional,

but the feeling was just towards a General, who has matured and become more capable.

It's no longer as simple as him being a capable General.

In my opinion, he has become the monarch of Baekje.

How is that possible? The General is not that kind of a person.

I'm not saying Gye Baek behaves like a monarch,

but that all the soldiers treat him as if he's the monarch.

Your Majesty, how can you say that!

Baekje's generals and soldiers only look to you as their monarch.

Yes, and does my wife also look upon me as her monarch?

Your Majesty, I am your woman.

Please don't bring up the past to doubt my sincerity.

Listen carefully Gye Baek.

Yes, Your Majesty.

This is my expedition.

Gye Baek will be the Sidoek and lead the attack on the city.

Your servant, Gye Baek, accepts the order.

His Majesty's order, let's set off.

Yes!

what map is this?

We obtained this map from Deok Sol's messenger.

Because of Gye Baek, Silla has lost it's southwest border.

If Gye Baek were to attack this city,

then Silla's northwest border will fall too.

It will cut off the only access to Tang.

Then Silla will be completely isolated.

That's right.

But it's not possible for Gye Baek to take over Danghang City that soon.

Silla will increase its resistance, if it's an important place.

It's not because of Silla's resistance,

but because His Majesty's resistance will make things difficult.

He has taken Gye Baek's lover, and even that was done on the sly.

He did it using deception.

You!

Will such a person allow Gye Baek to attack and capture his 40th city, Danghang?

If that should happen, then he'll be more venerated than His Majesty.

Will he allow this to go on?

This is a matter of national interest. Will His Majesty behave in that manner?

If I can become weak over the issue of a woman,

then how much weaker will a person be over the issue of a man?

His Excellency Jang Son, the envoy from the Tang court, has arrived.

Let's go together.

You should go by yourself. I don't want to see that old man.

Welcome Your Excellency Jang Son. You must be very tired from your journey.

Seong Chung and Heung Su, both are likened to the arms of Baekje's new king.

It's really nice to meet you.

His Majesty has just returned from the border, therefore I have to do the honours of welcoming you.

Please take a rest first at your embassy, His Majesty will grant you an audience later.

Apart from me, there's another important guest here.

Who is it?

Chun Chu Gong.

Chun Chu Gong has been awarded the title of Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong by His Majesty, the Tang Emperor.

-= Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong: 3rd highest rank among officials. =- Chun Chu Gong has been awarded the title of Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong by His Majesty, the Tang Emperor.

-= Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong: 3rd highest rank among officials. =- It's not an award from Silla.

-= Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong: 3rd highest rank among officials. =-

-= Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong: 3rd highest rank among officials. =- It's an award from the Tang that carries the status of an envoy.

It's been a while since we met, Seong Chung.

When you came to Silla you were a deok sol, but now you've been promoted to a jwapyeong.

It's such an impressive rise.

I'm so flattered,

but this is nothing compared to a title awarded by the Tang court.

Did you say Gim Chun Chu is here?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Since he came with the status of a Tang envoy, we can't drive him away.

What should come has finally arrived.

Gim Chun Chu has come here to seek his own death.

Silla seems to be anxious.

But now, shall we kill the small fry or the big fish?

General, all our preparations are ready for launching the attack.

Because of our early arrival by a day, the enemy has started to panic.

Give us your order, General.

The leaves and grass in and around the city is dry.

At this time, the north-easterly wind will be blowing.

Use fire to attack.

Yes, General.

Why are you suddenly talking about fish? What are you saying?

No, who is the big fish, and who is the small fry.

Who should we kill first?

Let him wait at the embassy.

Someone, come in.

Are you looking for me, Your Majesty?

Get ready to go out covertly.

Where are you going?

I want to go to the area outside the South Gate.

Yes.

What's the matter?

Is the Magistrate in?

Exactly who are you?

Villain! It's His Majesty the King.

Quickly, go and inform them!

From the taxes paid by the nobility, the taxes collected from the commoners seems to have reduced drastically.

It's due to Your Majesty's management.

What is the situation in the prison?

There are 3 criminals, the guilt of 2 has been established.

The other one, we have yet to establish whether he's guilty or not, for a decision to be made.

We can't find an innocent person guilty.

Bring him here, and bring the records as well.

We still can't meet him yet?

Even with the late King, such a situation never arose!

We are envoys from the great Tang!

Please try to understand.

His Majesty's concern for his people, and his need to keep an eye on their well being, takes priority over everything.

Shouldn't such matters be left to the government officials?

His Majesty cannot trust the words of the officials.

Officials will not reveal their own wrongdoings.

Don't you agree, Chun Chu Gong?

You are right.

His Majesty will be returning to the palace very soon, please go back and wait.

We will notify you.

Ui Ja seems to be doing much better than I expected,

if I'm not wrong.

It seems to me also.

But no matter how good is he in administering to the needs of the people,

if he can't manage Baekje's hero, Gye Baek,

he cannot become the true monarch.

For the sake of Silla, I will definitely ensure Gye Baek perishes at the hands of Ui Ja.

You are well?

Welcome, Your Excellency, Jang Son.

There's also Ui Chan, no, that's not it.

You're here as a Tang envoy, is it Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong?

We haven't met in a long time, Your Majesty.

When you came to Silla not long ago, our hospitality was deficient. I apologize for that.

I remember in detail your hospitality,

I will reciprocate that hospitality well.

Then, in the light of your lofty position as the Gwang Rok Sa Gyeong, what brings you to Baekje?

It can't be you want to discuss the 39 cities that we've captured?

It's really unfortunate about the cities, but for the sake of peace, we can give them up.

Did you say peace?

Yes, my intention in coming this time is to discuss a peace treaty with His Majesty.

Really! Your stance is different from before.

I wanted to apologize to Your Majesty much earlier.

Apologize?

When Your Majesty came to Silla seeking a peace treaty,

I misunderstood your intention because of the matter concerning Seobuk City.

The matter concerning Seobuk City arose because of General Gye Baek's defiance of the royal edict.

If I'd known that, our two countries would have forged an alliance long ago.

Don't say insincere words.

Looks like I can't deceive Your Majesty.

Then let me tell you my real purpose in coming here.

An angler will not go fishing without bait.

What's your bait?

Let me first ask this of you.

Do you wish for Gye Baek to capture the city?

To take back the lands Silla has taken away, is Baekje's wish.

Don't pretend you don't know.

I knew long ago about Gye Baek's intention to attack Danghang City.

Is that so?

With the strength that Baekje posseses now, it won't be easy to capture Danghang City.

But...

There's an easier way to capture the city.

If you were to join forces with Goguryeo.

Presently, the person holding power in Goguryeo is not the king but the naesin jwapyeong.

I don't know about anything else, but the military forces will still take their orders from him.

Is that so?

He has said that in the near future he might drive the king out and ascend the throne.

If Gye Baek were to join forces with him, then capturing Danghang City won't pose a problem.

But I'm worried.

Is this Your Majesty's intention or is this Gye Baek's intention?

Gim Chun Chu, now I can clearly see your purpose in coming here.

You're here to drive a wedge between Gye Baek and me.

You're trying to tell me that Gye Baek will become like the naesin jwapyeong of Goguryeo, and that I should be on my guard.

Do you think that I, Ui Ja, am so stupid as to be so easily manipulated by you?

Calm down Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I'm telling you this because I don't want any more wars between us.

Isn't Silla your mother's homeland?

If you agree, I'll hand over half the city to you.

If we do that, then the soldiers won't have to shed blood in a battle.

Your Majesty will be able to acquire the city in a peaceful manner.

This will be Your Majesty's achievement.

Your Majesty.

Come here.

It's fine,

you can speak.

General Gye Baek has succeeded.

Yes, where is he going to?

To Danghang City?

Yes, Your Majesty.

He was able to see through your ruse of trying to drive a wedge between him and Gye Baek?

Yes.

So,

your sole purpose in coming here has failed.

We'll see.

Are you confident?

Sometimes the mind and the heart are not united.

Ui Ja will definitely be wary of Gye Baek.

Mencius once said this,

"If we nurture our magnanimity, it will grow to fill the earth and heaven."

"If that magnanimity is tempered with justice, then it becomes more righteous."

Is it difficult?

It is

a bit difficult for Your Highness.

I'm sorry, teacher.

Then I'll find something easier.

You've worked hard.

You're here early, Your Majesty.

What did you learn today?

I'm learning the philosophy of Mencius, Mother.

Is that so?

Did you understand it?

His Highness, the Prince, is very intelligent.

If I enlighten him on one matter, he's able to grasp ten relevant points.

Is that so?

Yes...

You want to bring forward the Crown Prince's installation?

His Majesty had to go through a lot of hardship previously because he was not conferred the status of Crown Prince early on.

That was one of the reasons.

We can't make the same mistake again.

Compared to Queen Sa Taek, Eun Go is more crafty and cruel.

You're father's disciple and also the Prince's teacher, and are like an uncle to him.

Please protect the Prince.

Fine.

In order to avoid chaos arising in Baekje, we should do that.

The Queen is discussing the installation of the Crown Prince with naesin jwapyeong?

Yes.

He's better now.

It's only a fever, he'll be much better tomorrow morning.

You've worked hard.

Is he better?

Yes.

His constitution is so weak.

Sit.

Gim Chun Chu came to drive a wedge between Gye Baek and me.

Of course.

Because Silla have been losing their battles with General Gye Baek,

of course he'll do that.

But...

Gim Chun Chu is a stupid person

to think that Your Majesty is so small-minded.

No.

For a moment I was taken aback.

How did he know I was envious of Gye Baek?

The one who captured the hearts of the people, and yours.

Your Majesty.

That matter is long past.

Furthermore I've already borne your child.

Do you still not trust me?

All right, I understand.

Your Majesty could give up everything for the sake of saving me.

It's fine to hate me,

but don't extend your dislike to the child.

He's my pitiful child.

To live contently the life of a normal Prince is fine too.

Also,

to dabble in politics will only be exhausting.

I don't want my child to go through what I experienced.

Yes, you're right.

The position one so desires,

is sometimes like sitting on a mat filled with needles.

That's why I envy Gye Baek.

To be able to ride on a horse.

Congratulations on your successful capture of the city.

All of you have contributed greatly to this.

I will record your credit.

I don't know whether among those that you mention, one other person will be included.

Whether all of you will remember

at the General's table, me, Dok Gae.

What?

Who are you talking about?

What have you really done, for you to speak in such a manner?

Dok Gae!

What have I done?

And, why must you always sing a different tune from me?

Why are you saying I've not contributed any effort?

Do you know in an inhabited place, how important eating, drinking and excreting is?

I've even organised for the soldiers' sanitary needs, and done a very good job at that.

Only by my efforts can we have a clean and hygienic camp.

Just think,

if this was faeces, faeces all over here.

Is this hygienic?

If we see faeces when we're eating,

is what we're eating food or faeces?

That's why, only by my efforts, is this place kept clean and hygienic.

Therefore no infectious diseases can spread.

Don't you know that infectious diseases are more deadly than wars?

What Dok Gae says is correct.

Your deed is indeed not miniscule.

See,

even the General acknowledges my contribution.

That's enough.

We're assigning you the most important task.

All right.

Waste matter? General!

General?

The following city is Silla's fortress.

It's also a link to the rest of the country, and an important hub for Silla.

If we succeed, then Silla will not be so arrogant.

If we succeed,

you will all become great soldiers.

Are we going to lead the forces?

See, see.

Showing off again.

Why must you lead,

you should be at the rear, the rear.

General, why don't you give me a chance to lead?

Let me lead this time.

I'll give you a more important task.

What?

Go to Goguryeo and meet up with the naesin jwapyeong.

Naesin jwapyeong?

Go and meet him and hand over to him my letter.

Silla is well aware of the importance of this city.

Their defence will not be the same.

Therefore, without the help of Goguryeo, we will not be able to succeed.

General, a letter has arrived.

What is the content of the letter?

It says to stop our attack and to return.

Wasn't an edict already issued earlier? Why is he asking us to go home?

Has His Majesty given up on Danghang City?

Silla has proposed that we manage Danghang City jointly. What are your opinions?

What is your Majesty asking?

It's not necessary for us to do that.

Danghang City is Silla's only access to Tang.

As long as we're able to capture Danghang City, this will be like grasping Silla's weakness.

But,

if we were to manage the city jointly...

Yes, if we follow the momentum set by General Gye Baek, we'll succeed in capturing Danghang City.

Reject Gim Chun Chu's proposal, and ask him to go home.

No,

I'm going to accept Gim Chun Chu's proposal.

For a moment I was taken aback.

How did he know I was envious of Gye Baek?

Even though we were able to capture so many cities because of Gye Baek's tireless efforts,

it's time we let the soldiers have a good rest.

It's better for us to utilize the city together. If an opportunity should arise in the future, we'll seize it then. This, in a way, is good for us too.

If we were to seize the city in a rush, those who resist will not just be a few.

Your Majesty, General Gye Baek has sent a letter.

But, Gye Baek says he can't come.

He says if we don't attack Danghang City now, it'll be difficult to find another chance.

He tells me to wait.

He tells me not to be too anxious in forging an alliance with Silla.

Who is the monarch of this country?

Is it me,

or Gye Baek?

Please remain calm and collected, Your Majesty.

Didn't you tell General Gye Baek to act using his discretion?

Didn't you tell General Gye Baek to act using his discretion?

General Gye Baek is reporting what's actually happening on the ground to Your Majesty.

Give this to Gye Baek.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Isn't that a bu jeol?

-= Bu Jeol: an item used to command troops or serves as an order to transfer troops. =- Isn't that a bu jeol?

-= Bu Jeol: an item used to command troops or serves as an order to transfer troops. =- If Gye Baek still refuses to return after receiving that, then he'll be defying a royal edict.

Why is His Majesty behaving like this?

Gye Baek will be wondering what major crisis has arisen and will return.

In my opinion, he's trying to eliminate the roots of calamity.

His proposal of mutual utilization of Danghang City is a good idea,

but his proposal makes me distrustful.

His Majesty recalling Gye Baek, do you think he has anything else planned?

Apart from this matter concerning the alliance, are there any other matters?

We can't say for sure.

His Majesty had entertained the idea himself, but he's now fanning from the side.

Are you looking for me, Your Majesty?

Have a seat, Cheon Dan Ryang.

Can you answer me using God's prophecy?

Of course.

Is Gye Baek, Baekje's brightest and most dazzling star?

No, Your Majesty.

No?

Even the children in the street know that Gye Baek is the most dazzling star.

If it's not Gye Baek, who is it?

Baekje has 3 bright stars. Among these 3 there's one who shines the brightest,

but it's not Your Majesty's.

It's not mine?

Your Majesty,

don't misunderstand what I've said.

Your Majesty was never one of the stars to start with.

Your Majesty is the vast sky.

The stars will protect Your Majesty.

With the presence of the stars, nobody can harm the sky.

But if the sky cannot safeguard the stars, then the stars will turn into meteors.

If the sky doesn't want the stars anymore, then the stars can only fall?

Your Majesty.

Do you know of the Qin Dynasty?

Emperor Qin Shi Huang believed his generals had conquered the Huns.

But, Emperor Li Xie did not believe in them.

He killed them.

Li Xie was forced to commit suicide thereafter.

I can be Qin Shi Huang or Li Xie?

For an emperor, there's nothing comparable to having capable generals and a strong backing.

There is also no greater threat than this.

Only if one is able to overcome such threats, can one be a true monarch.

You must be determined in this.

Did His Majesty really ask you that question?

Yes.

That's bad.

Distrusting your own men and wavering.

Do you know when a person starts having doubts?

It's the time when he loses his own self-confidence.

You must place your trust in His Majesty.

Only when you protect the sky, will the sky not come to any harm.

Only then can the stars shine.

Your Highness!

What is the matter?

This... I don't know how to tell you.

What's wrong?

It's him.

He's a young professor,

living a very extravagant life.

I heard from the nobility he was taking bribes, so I did a bit of investigating.

But it's not that...

What did he do, that he's being tortured?

It started with a rumour that he was taking bribes.

I did an internal investigation.

In his premises,

I found this.

How did you get hold of this?

Matters concerning our life and death.

How did it come into your hands?

Your servant was only complying with the order.

Complying with the order?

I think this financial record book...

-= Financial Record Book: a record of all money transactions paid and received. =- I think this financial record book...

His Majesty had just approved the investment for Sobu.

Confess now,

who directed you to do this?

That...

If you don't answer my query truthfully,

I'll cut off your tongue and dig out your eyes!

I'll turn you into the living dead.

Yes! Yes!

Who was the person who directed you to do this?

The order came from His Majesty, of course.

Did you say His Majesty?

Yes.

That's utter nonsense!

In order to save me, he gave up everything.

How could he have done this?

That's the real truth, Your Highness.

Please believe me.

His Majesty allowed me to use that

to incite the students

to file a complaint to the late king.

But, I can only think of one way to save you.

Say you're pregnant with a dragon child.

Your Majesty, you can't kill Eun Go.

You can't kill a woman who's carrying a dragon child.

This is all my doing.

I'm begging you to spare her.

She's a woman who's more precious to me than my own life.

You villain, you deserve to die!

Do you know that because of that one matter, many people had to die.

I am sorry.

I only did what His Majesty directed me to do.

I only did what an official ought to do.

Your Highness, calm down!

Get out of my way.

I'm going to take revenge for my family today.

Your Highness, please spare me.

As long as you spare me, I'll do anything.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

General, we've received a letter.

Gim Chun Chu has arrived in Sabi City.

Gim Chun Chu.

I guess he's the one who arranged for me to be recalled.

Going to Yeongya, what shall we do now?

Make a trip there secretly.

I know.

Greetings! Greetings!

Long live the General.

Greetings! Greetings!

Greetings! Greetings! I've made a great contribution!

Look at me! Look at me!

Look at me. Look.

Why did I decide to walk? Because I didn't agree to ride on a horse.

Grandmother, look at me. Grandmother.

Your servant, Gye Baek, complying with Your Majesty's edict, has returned home.

Welcome home, my loyal servant.

My beloved brother, Gye Baek.

I can't believe this.

Why did His Majesty, why did he do such a thing?

Are you really not aware of the reason?

I don't know. No, it's something I can't even imagine.

Just think about it.

If that petition of complaint didn't exist,

would Your Highness' fate have ended up like this?

I guess you'd have ended up beside General Gye Baek by now,

but Your Highness, because of that matter, ended up on the verge of death.

You were able to escape from that crisis,

by saying you were pregnant with a dragon child,

and have now become a royal consort.

It's all because His Majesty wanted to have you.

His Majesty is that kind of terrible person who desires absolute control.

Gye Baek.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Don't address me in that manner.

It's only the two of us here.

Just call me hyeong. (Hyeong - older brother)

Before you capture Danghang City,

you said you won't drink wine.

You won't have just one cup?

I'll accept your gesture,

but you must tell me all that's hidden in your heart.

Fine.

Your Majesty, why did you recall me just when we were about to launch our attack?

Is it because you don't trust me?

Or are you afraid I'll become like Yeong Gye Somun?

and become someone who'll manipulate Your Majesty?

Exactly why are you suspicious of me?

What is this?

Even if this is a private and personal conversation between two sworn brothers,

you must still watch what you say.

The person who's in front of you is the king of the country.

It's all right. He must ask.

Before he came, his heart was bursting with curiosity, wondering about the reason.

Of course he must ask about it.

Gye Baek, Gim Chun Chu said,

if you were to unite with Yeong Gye Somun,

Danghang City will be mine.

But, if I were to unite with Gim Chun Chu,

Danghang City will still be mine.

No matter how we go about it, Danghang City will be mine anyway.

Therefore, there's no reason to shed blood.

You've suffered greatly during this period.

How about taking a rest?

General.

Don't participate in tomorrow morning's meeting.

The General who refused to drink, had too much to drink today.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

It's not something Your Highness should worry about.

Why shouldn't I worry about it?

Don't you have any idea at all?

You must be on your guard against His Majesty.

His Majesy is envious of you and everybody who follows you.

Because of envy, there's a possibility he might snatch it away.

Envy me?

If it's something that can be snatched away,

I'll give it to him first.

So you would have done the same with me?

You would have given me up too?

What are you saying?

It was His Majesty who saved Your Highness.

Instead, I wasn't able to do anything.

If the person who'd saved Your Highness

was me.

Your Highness and I, we almost became fugitives for life, if we'd escaped.

If I had been the one who saved you.

Do you regret it?

Isn't it that Your Highness didn't have to disappear?

So, you're able to appear before my eyes now?

That's enough for me.

No matter what your place is in life,

I'm happy as long as you're alive.

It's fine, as long as I don't have to listen to such words anymore.

Why did you come back?

You saw Gye Baek and have spoken to him.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you are a leader who trusts your officials, am I right?

Of course.

Are you asking because of Gye Baek?

You don't have to worry.

Gye Baek is one of my officials, he's my brother,

Since he's my brother, how could Gim Chun Chu pull him away.

Therefore all the other officials will have no doubts, and will trust and abide by Your Majesty too?

Yes that's correct.

Furthermore, Your Majesty, for the sake of this country and the people,

and the loyal ministers,

thinks that moral principles should be more important than anything else. Am I right?

Why are you behaving like this?

Why are you stating the obvious?

Are you saying that you don't believe me?

No, I believe Your Majesty.

Your Majesty has treated me very well in the past.

You're the person who battled everything to save me.

You're so bewildering! What's making you behave like this?

It's because I'm grateful.

There's one more thing that I'm grateful for,

taking care of General Gye Baek.

General Gye Baek is seeking an audience.

You've finally come.

Are you looking for me, General?

I came to say one sentence to you, Chun Chu Gong.

The reason why you came to Baekje,

I know it clearly.

But there's one thing you should be clear about.

His Majesty and I, Gye Baek,

no matter what scheme you have,

will definitely not waver.

That was really unexpected.

I've come to ignite the fire.

I fear that you will annex our Silla.

Even if I have to give up half of Danghang City,

I had to come to impede your actions.

The person I fear most in Baekje is you, General.

Even if I had to meet you face to face,

and feel shivers down my spine.

Gim Chun Chu.

Even though I can kill you right now,

you chose to enter the tiger's den in your bid to save your country, I'm moved.

I'll spare you your life.

But remember my face clearly.

The moment you see my face on the battlefield,

that is the day of your death.

That is the day Silla will be obliterated from the face of the earth.

What's the reason you wanted to see me?

Who, of the two princes, do you think will be sent here?

Do you think I will accept this transaction?

Of the two princes, who do you reckon will become the Crown Prince?

Just because you don't like it, you want to discard it?

Calamity will befall the royal court.

Now, how shall we deal with Gim Chun Chu, Your Majesty?

Of course we must kill him.

We can't do that.

Are you the king?

What matter brings you here to see me?

If we do it that way, it'll be even stranger.

There's no way we can act in union with His Majesty.

I harbour too much hatred against His Majesty.

All because of me, sworn brothers have betrayed each other.

Because of what?
