That! Maybe that smoke?

Episode 52.

It's the smoke! Smoke!

If it's not ghost, it's human.

Maybe, maybe?

If you're a human, say something. If you're a ghost, ascend.

- Jang! - Doctor!

Jang!

Jang!

Doctor!

Doctor!

You are alive! You're alive!

Thank you! Thank you!

Finally, finally!

Yes, he is the King!

Lord! Lord!

If not you, I couldn't stand here.

Thank you! Thank you!

Lord! You're mean. We wanted see him like you.

I couldn't think about that. I'm sorry.

Doctor!

How have you been?

We didn't know you're alive like this,

we thought you were ascended and prepared offerings.

It doesn't matter, I wanted to eat so much.

Doctor! We didn't miss us but the food?

Yes! Since I was alone, I only thought about foods.

You stayed here for 2 months, and you became like me.

All of you are mean!

My mother wants to see him the most.

But why do you snatch her place?

Have you been well?

Yes.

How can you say yes in this situation?

Get hugged or hold her tight or something.

Anyway Ms Mojin likes that mean and durable people.

What happened to dethroned King?

On the way to apologize to the market...

He seemed to saw the ghost of Prince Aja and King Wieduk.

He apologized and bent his knee.

Heuk couldn't see that and killed him,

and killed himself.

What about Giroo?

He fleed to Silla.

- To Silla? - Yes.

Kim Sunhoo is here.

I'm late for greeting. I'm Kim Sunhoo.

- So what's your business? - What do you mean?

I was so happy that you're back.

I have to greet you.

I will be the good influenceto you,

please watch me.

Princess Chunmyung is here.

Are you already looking for a line!

No, Princess, I was just welcoming her back.

Please have a seat.

Did you come back here to fight over my place?

Since parents begged for your return,

I've reinstated you, now you're back and hit my head?

What are you talking about?

Did you know he was the Prince of Baekjae in the 1st place?

With his power, are you threatening my throne?

I won't do that. It won't ever happen again.

I'm after the King. You can't change that.

You bad!

Princess! After King mentioned marriage alliance with Baekjae,

didn't she become strong?

Marriage alliance is finalized, her politic will be reinstated.

Plus, Baekjae King will be stronger

than your husband, duke Yongsu.

Already nobles are approaching to Sunhwa.

Yes! I was on my way to discuss with the lordabout Princess

From the meeting.

- Make clear statement! - Yes!

If marriage will be held, her political movement will arouse,

then land and soldiers will be given to Sunhwa,

and her influence will become larger.

Plus her partner is the King of Baekjae,

she will gain all rights of Baekjae relation.

Yes!

It mustn't happen! No way!

Yes! Did you talk about alliance with Baekjae in meeting?

- No. - No?

Before we discuss the alliance,

we must discuss the benefiting enemy first.

Benefit the enemy? What are you talking about?

When Princess lost her position,

surely, there was an act of benefiting enemy.

But time has passed and it was just love of her youth.

- So I allowed her reinstatement. - But?

If her partner is Baekjae King, it's different question.

In any case, she might have revealed

the secret base of Silla military.

What?

Already benefiting enemy was done before, I can't be slient.

You have to reprimand her first!

What? Reprimand?

Yes, lord! That's the significant voice of the meeting!

Yes? Silla King sent his military?

Yes.

Then, Jin would've returned to Silla.

Yes!

Please forgive that I didn't tell you.

You must have suffered.

Doctor!

Lord! Sochan is ready.

Foods are ready, let's go.

It won't take long.

Ms Mojin!

Put it back! What are you doing?

What do you mean? Isn't that what you wanted?

- Let me go! Now! - What's the noise?

I have set up the meal

in the room for them.

To be honest, we feel like to marry them right now.

It's little hard here.

No! That's a good idea.

Lord, why are you doing this?

No, I was always sorry for you.

Mother! Shall we prepare your marriage?

Yes! It's like Haneuljae here,

when will the lord spend good time with us?

Yes! Bumro is right.

Mother! Will coronet do for it?

Yes, Eunjin! Let's go and find it.

Really! You people are mean!

Mom!

Mojin!

They were just making fun of you. Don't cry.

I know, but I don't know.

I think it feels too happy or sad,

or miserable, I'm not sure.

I don't know! I really don't know.

There were many buprestids.

This is your flower shoes!

I saw this when I went to the sea.

I knew you were there.

I saw that you tied my straw shoes and your shoes,

whether it's life or death,

I thought of you always being next to me.

Can you be next to me like you always did?

Please marry me.

Why is my heart being torn?

My heart feels weird. Isn't it, dad?

I'm about to explode.

Do we have to let them go like that?

Is my love gone just like that?

Dad, it never came to you.

Are you my son? Why are you mocking me? Idiot!

Isn't it right? When did she come for you?

Isn't Princess Wooyoung here yet?

Yes! Queen mother sent her letter but she's not here yet.

Is she competing with us?

After death of King Hye, returning stolen lands and solidiers

are not enough to help us.

I was expecting it.

We need to give Queen mother the lands of other regions.

Hae family will be saved anyway.

They have Princess and Queen mother.

Plus, if Princess marrys the King,

it'll become larger.

But it's not time to consider their large influence.

The whole noble situation is more vital.

What do you mean?

Because of former King, we benefitted a lot.

Right! Number of soldiers and taxation changed as we wish.

The lord may correct this thing.

No way.

The lord is following Prince Aja's imperial establishment.

Especially he has no interests with any nobles.

Then?

The marriage with Princess is vital.

We have to make them married,

we have to make her as the former King in King Wieduk era.

My brother should've done this already.

Will she give places back even stolen ones?

Yes, he will. He treated us badly,

it's my daughter! Her foresight saved me!

Queen mother! Sir Sa and Baek are here.

Executive? Bring them in!

What's your business?

We came to discuss the meeting.

The meeting? Why?

The master of the meeting, Sir Hae Dojoo, is confining.

But still Hae family is the master of nobles,

It should lead us.

Right, what do you want to do?

Sir Hae Dojoo is locked up

so you need to attend the meeting.

Me? But as a Queen mother,

wouldn't it be hard to attend every meeting?

Although surname is different, you could send the Princess.

- Wooyoung? - Yes, it happened occasionally,

and she's done some affairs so I think she's appropriate.

After all, you and she would have the same intention.

We would like to follow you as well.

We have to discuss the marriage with the lord as well.

Yes! I will do that.

Wooyoung! You need to attend the meeting instead of me.

The noble meeting?

Yes! My brother can't do much at the moment, you got to go!

But you won't leave him like that, would you?

Of course, we can suppress the King,

but he won't let my brother to have his power back.

So you have to build a good relationship with nobles,

and when you become the Queen, you can use them.

Nobles want that as well, and they will promote your marriage.

- Marriage? - Yes, marriage!

Isn't it obvious?

You saved the lord with your life for it.

That's not it.

Right, right! It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!

When you get married, our world will come.

Yes, who cares.

I can be with the lord. I can marry him.

Princess! The King is back.

Lord! Have you done doctor's funeral well?

Yes.

- Dr. Mok Rasoo! - Dr. Mok Rasoo!

- Doctor! - Doctor!

Dr. Mok Rasoo, what happened?

Have you been well, Princess?

Doctor! What's happening? How could this happen?

Is this dream or real?

- Have you been well? - Yes!

Doctor! We didn't know you're alive,

forgive us that we didn't go and save you.

No! I'm ashamed that I couldn't help the lord on the plan.

Please don't say that. If it wasn't you,

all officials in the Island would be dead by now.

Yes, doctor! And we have lots of work to do.

Don't worry about that.

He's not recovered yet.

How can you give him work as soon as he's back?

Did we?

No! I'd like see the plan first.

Please go in.

Bumro! What happened!

Dr. Mok Rasoo is alive!

I feel anxious that King's policy will be empowered more.

The division under King's jurisdiction is doing

something nobody knows and people are nervous about it.

I know.

After all, land reform is the core of its conclusion.

The problem is nobles...

Sa and Baek and other nobles

quickly incorporated with the lord.

Hae family who has the most of lands to give out,

has the Queen mother and Princess.

Already most of lands are handed over to them.

Isn't there any proof that

Hae Dojoo directly related to the death of Prince and King?

No, lord! He provided materials like weapons and goods,

but actual relevance were hard to find.

Lord! Queen mother is here!

Have you been safe?

Yes, I was going to see you later.

You're busy man. Just visit Wooyoung sometimes.

And I know the military is investigating

on my brother, Hae Dojoo.

And it's true that he helped the former King.

But he gave her daughter to the King,

he had no choice but to incorporate.

So please remove his confine even if you resign his position.

And he's regretting the case of Yeon Kyunghoo's father.

And he will return all!

Premier Sa Dokwang,

Executive Baek Janghyun,

General Yeon Kyunghoo!

Imperial Guard Wanggoo!

Taehaksa master Dr. Mok Rasoo! This is it.

People who prepared the national plan,

will serve a division under Taehyun,

and I set Yoorim as a master of the division.

Lord! You haven't still settled the case of Hae Dojoo.

The former Premier Hae Dojoo will be resigned,

and I'll remove his confine.

Perhaps, the lord is not backing off here yet,

what's his plan?

Yes, confiscate Hae's lands and soldiers,

and start land reform is the best realistic scheme.

But it's a fact that Princess Wooyoung saved the lord,

although we can confiscate and divide Hae's belongings,

but we can't do with other nobles. It's not fundamental solution.

I do know that but it's the realistic plan at the moment.

If he misses the period that he has now,

nobles will start to suppress him.

I think so, but he must have a plan.

Finally, the King recognized the reality.

Yes, how can he govern the nation without nobles?

Right, but I don't like the division under the Taehyun.

What's the problem? Princess can hold it off.

Yes! We have to urge the marriage.

Princess will attend the meeting for the first time,

we can discuss that first.

Let's do that!

You're here.

Queen mother sent me here.

Yes, we know.

- Anyway I was so surprised. - About what?

How could you have the big capacity from that small body?

He's very curious that how you bet your life

And did the big gamble.

Yes! When did you know he's the 4th son of King Wieduk?

Since he brought royal seal and script, it's before that.

Plus, in critical moment, you disguised love and got saved.

- What? - It was an excellent scheme.

If it wasn't love, you couldn't be able to save yourself.

Nobles like us relieved our anxiety

for your excellent foresight and brave capacity.

So the noble meeting

would like to promote the marriage of you and the lord.

Resignation is on the surface, what's more important than

Settling down the politic for future.

Of course! We have to inform the King tomorrow.

As you've seen your father and brother,

I don't think I need to tell you more.

Our point is that we have to keep our power

which dethroned King had developed.

As we could see Mok Rasoo and his other officials,

The King is very determined.

He will weaken the power of nobles. You got to stop it.

On the other side of promoting me as a Queen,

are you expecting me to be like my brother?

Yes, and you'll be rewarded.

Although the end wasn't so delighted,

he had been rewarded by nobles.

Yes, this is the world I used to live.

Where only gain and loss lie!

Love?

This is good for the lord. He has to know the reality.

The lord is here.

It's very late. What brought you here?

I have to penetrate them.

You mean the problems with nobles?

Yes, when I have reasons, I got to push it forward.

So plesae go to Silla.

- To Silla? - Yes.

Doham! Why are you doing this?

Doham! Where are you going?

Please get yourself together! It's all over now!

I'm alive and Jang is alive, what is all over?

- How did it end? - Doham!

I got to see the end, so let's see it!

Doham! We lost this! You lost!

No! I haven't done it yet!

Let's just admit it and live here quietly!

Where is the place for us?

Silla betrayed us and we're abandoned in Baekjae,

where is the place for us?

Are we going to Goguryu? Shall we start it over there?

Yes, let's go there! Admit our failure and go!

I can't do that! What have I done wrong?

I acted for my interest and my gain,

what was so wrong about it?

People live like that! Jang, that bastard lives like that!

But why people tell me to admit I've done wrong?

If I do, if I do, I can't do anything!

I can't do anything!

I'm like a dead person! A dead man!

No, no! I'll prove it!

Doham!

The world is for the winner anyway.

I can win it back, and I will prove that I won.

I will crush him into a piece,

and I will break him and Sunhwa's love.

What I can't have, he can't have it either.

Anway! He can't attain Sunhwa.

The Princess is back in Silla.

Yes! The lord brought her back.

Lord! From the meeting of nobles,

to settle down the affair and Imperial...

Listen!

I'd like to set the system back to Kwansan battle.

Pardon?

For stability of imperial and affair, and people

I have examined many filed!

The result is?

As I examined, 40 years ago, before the battle,

on the reason of preparation of war,

number of private soldiers were extended 16 times and taxation,

you have increased cultivation field as your private land.

Plus, to feed extended soldiers, you have collected extra

taxation from people other than from nation.

That made people moneyless! Am I wrong?

Plus, after Kwansan battle, there were only 2 battles.

So it's logical to set it back!

But, lord!

So, Taehyun need to prepare what nobles should manage

to do when the system is taken back.

Yes.

General, prepare to transfer private soldiers of nobles!

Yes.

Lord! This is too compulsive decision.

Yes, lord! After the battle, Baekjae had been in the threat

of Goguryu and Silla all the time. So it was the preparation.

When we were in threat, Baekjae was fruitful!

The taxation was increased because of the war time.

But, lord! We had alliance with Silla at that moment,

so the nation was settled down.

Alright! I will take it back to earlier era than the battle!

Lord!

Or should I take it back more?

King Wieduk clearly

descended you a script to assassinate Bu Yeosun.

But nobody followed his order.

Just that makes you treasoners!

Also, to multiply your power, you used the former King,

and sent Prince Aja to Japan and suppressed King Wieduk.

What was the result of it?

You stole the land which was the hope for people,

Even if they had lands, you took it for taxation

that made people fell into extreme distress.

I want to question your crimes, but now I'm trying to give you

a chance to apologize.

Do you have any other reason? Do you?

Inform Taehyun divison and deliver the detail information!

Yes!

System before the battle?

1 private soldier per 100 people in each region.

Then we can reduce Hae's soldiers nearly half, 1,500 men.

It's the same as Sa Dokwang.

But, nobles near the border region,

they had more soldiers for its reason.

Yes, I'm looking on to it.

Then, what about tax?

First it will be reduced as much as soldiers reduced.

Also, speical tax for wartime will be reduced.

Perhaps, in case of rebellion movement of nobles,

you need to guard thoroughly!

Yes, sir.

Don't worry, we're watching over with extreme security.

Also, we have to take over the private soldiers on the day,

manage other units!

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

If this turns out fine, a servant like me,

get a piece of land or soemthing?

Yes, that's why King is doing his best for it!

If so! I have to do my best for any circumstances.

Having a piece of land is my dream!

When soldiers are restricted 1 in 100,

Sir Sa can have total 1684 private soldiers.

Sir Baek can have total 1223 men.

The enforcement will be a month after tax is regulated.

Please prepare ahead.

And this is illegal private land for cultivation field.

Look at it and follow the procedure, please.

Do we have to watch this?

Queen mother! We have our own agony,

but you will have the most damage from this.

I know that!

If you don't act, I have to act on my own.

Wooyoung went to see the lord, so let's wait.

I understand your mean, lord,

but if you do this, you will turn nobles to your enemy.

I'm not turning them into my enemy,

I'm making people to live.

Lord! You're the King.

As I mentioned some time ago,

you can't rule the nation with warm heart for people.

It's not warm heart, it's their hope.

If I stand with nobles, it may be easier for me to govern,

but I won't be the King of people.

The world of imperial and nobles don't have hope,

only power exist here.

Then I'll have to strengthen myself.

Lord! Do you think you can handle their resistance?

I got to try!

- It can be your fantasy. - When I achieve it, it's a dream.

The dream will fail. It may not work.

If you can help me, it is possible.

But you're already standing next to them and pressuring me.

I'm not pressuring you, I'm trying to help.

Where power lies, you have to recognize the reality.

Although you're the King, you have no support from nobles.

So do their favor first,

I can't move myself then.

As the power loads on them, I have to pressure my people.

I won't ever do that.

So do not speak for nobles and convince me.

Lord! Princess...

Are you thinking that you won't marry me?

Are you thinking that you won't marry me?

No, I can't do it and I mustn't do it!

The purpose of marrying me

is to tie me for the use of nobles?

I don't do that kind of marriage.

That kind of marriage?

What do you imagine about marriage?

To marry a woman who had the moment in your life?

To marry a woman who shared the same dream with you?

You're not Dalsol any more. You're the King of Baekjae.

You can give up everything for your love as a commoner,

but you can't do that as the King of Baekjae.

Because you love the merchant woman,

and thinking about marrying her

can be real fantasy of yours.

Plus, the woman of Silla.

It won't happen.

The courtesy of imperial won't allow it.

Notjust me, no Baekjae imperial would think the same.

Where is Jin?

I asked where Jin is!

Silla! She went back to Silla!

- You! - She's already gone.

It would happen after all.

Because you love the merchant woman,

and thinking about marrying her

can be real fantasy of yours. Plus, the woman of Silla.

It won't happen.

The courtesy of imperial won't allow it.

Doctor! I have to trust you.

Bring him in!

Are you an emissary of Baekjae King, Mok Rasoo?

Yes, lord!

The master of Taehaksa, Mok Rasoo?

That you fleed and stayed in Silla?

Yes, lord!

Yes! I heard about you many times, so you look familiar to me.

I'm also familiar of this Silla palace.

When I was abandoned by Baekjae, I supplied goods here

and that lead

Baekjae King to meet Princess Sunhwa.

And I heard that you sent a Hwarang, Kim Doham

To Haneuljae.

Yes, I wanted Baekjae Singi.

And I lost talented man, Kim Doham.

Since you fleed to Silla,

many things happened between Baekjae King and Sunhwa,

and she went through a lot.

And now she's barely back to Silla,

why did he send an emissary?

What's the reason?

My lord didn't tell me the reason.

He didn't?

He said that it's the response of sending military to Baekjae.

Response?

Yes, it was in the middle of great plan, so we couldn't respond

but surely, it was the suggestion of amity

according to my lord.

How did he think that?

Neverthless Baekjae was going through hard time,

you didn't attack Baekjae nor take Princess out of Baekjae.

Instead, you sent soldiers.

So, when I come here,

he said that you will give an order to me.

Please give me an order.

If you can't do it now, I'll be waiting at the motel.

Wait there.

Yes.

Do not tell an emissary is sent by Baekjae.

Yes.

Then, I'll wait at the motel.

It was Dr. Mok? Surely!

Princses! Princess! It's right! It's clear!

How come you can't behave yourself?

That's not important!

Surely, Dr. Mok is here in Silla palace.

What?

I saw it clearly! Clearly!

Is it possible?

Perhaps, duke Seodong told me that he'd come to see me.

- Where? Where? - There, it's right there!

- Who did he say? - Huh? Dr. Mok Rasoo.

He is dead.

Right... But it was him surely!

You naughty girl!

It's strange! It was him, I saw him.

You know she's going through a lot these days.

When will go grow up?

So how's the border of Goguryu side?

Asuri region is unstable.

Are they regaining it before striking Soo?

Yes, Goguryu had strong will of Asuri region,

so we have to be tensed all the time.

Yes, I got it!

Mobilize private soldiers and reinforce the region.

Yes, lord!

Lord! Because of this situation,

are you trying to ally with Baekjae?

In short, yes.

But in long term, it's the layer of 3 nation unity.

Tomorrow noon, send my letter to Mok Rasoo.

Yes!

Also, if nobles find out this, they will oppose it,

Don't tell anyone about this for a while!

I was told to deliver this letter.

I see.

Where are you wandering around?

I was looking for Chogi, but I didn't know where they are.

Surely, they're high nobles, they should be in Seorabul.

We have to go to Baekjae.

Doctor! We came here all the way. We got to see them.

The lord is waiting for us!

Surely, he wants to know how she is.

Go now! We have to walk fast to get to Haneuljae.

Huh? Haneuljae?

Yes, we know the place so we spend a night there.

And head to Baekjae.

Really? I'm curious as well. How would it change.

Let's go!

Seclusion? Hide in seclusion?

Doing what? Doing what?

Expect for what?

Look up what, think what, do what.

He's doing it for few days. What do we do?

Nothing, he has to endure it.

Despondency, defeat! Destruction!

What can you do except endure it?

But I'm worried.

No! He will endure it.

Doctor! Bamboo bell is still here.

Yes! Silla military would have intruded in,

but didn't remove it.

It wasn't a good place for us, but I'm excited.

Yes! I feel the same.

- Well, nothing has changed really. - Yes!

But I see traces of cooking.

Maybe refugee came here.

I go and get some timbers.

I'll prepare the beds.

What happened? Dr. Mok is alive.

They're not here to capture us, let's just avoid.

It looks like they will go tomorrow.

Let's stay here for a day.

In case, you lookout for them, Goosan.

Yes!

Doham!

They're irrelevant to us now.

Whether he's dead or alive, it doesn't matter!

So don't think about it.

Don't think and go to sleep.

Let's sleep.

Let's sleep.

Pardon? To Jin and the lord get married,

do they need a permission from Silla King?

What? Jang and Princess Sunhwa?

Then, do I and Chogi need his permission?

Go to sleep!

But I don't think it's gonna work out.

Work what out?

Before the Notijae battle, Silla King sent military to take Jin,

why would he allow them?

- That is the positive signal. - Yes?

Silla King wants the alliance.

Where have you been?

I think Dr. Mok is sent here as an emissary of Jang

and he met Silla King.

Why? For what?

They're promoting the marriage of Jang and Princess.

- Is it true? - Yes.

And the King is quite positive.

Then will they agree on marriage alliance?

We don't have much time left. Are we here without a plan?

The lord is very determined and he even talked about the script,

and we can be driven as treason.

Are we going to just watch that?

Avoiding the rain is another way.

We can stay calm and after the marriage with Princess,

we can reaim it.

Do you think that, Sir Sa? Do we have to watch this?

We shouldn't be quiet like this.

He didn't announce to people yet,

but if he does, it's out of control.

Princess and Sir Sa are here.

I was waiting for you. How did the meeting go?

Nothing stands out, so they're dismissed.

After all, we have to break his reason.

Reason?

He said that it's not wartime so he converts the time of peace.

Then are you making a war?

I can't make a war,

But I can make the atmosphere and bring its tension.

How?

By ourself or incorporate with Silla.

Would it be possible?

We got to give it a try.

Then, I assume you all agreed and I'll reinforce it.

Abigi is gone and his store has evacuated.

- Is it? - Yes.

Maybe he wsa close to general,

after plan succeeded, he took off as well.

He has the line in Silla.

Sir Premier!

I was told to deliver it.

- General! - Executive!

Have a seat!

No, you're not Premier. How have you been?

What if you're exposed?

You can't trust me!

You were curious about the letter so I believe you didn't talk.

Yes! You said that you could help us now.

You'll be useful?

How can you help us now?

Perhaps, do you need a battle with Silla?

How did you?

In Silla, some people need a battle like you.

I can make it happen.

Is it possible?

Yes, Abigi is with me.

You can supply some goods and give me the date.

It's not difficult but even if you make this happen,

reinstating you isn't easy.

What do you want?

I don't want anything.

I just want to live like a shadow under the lord.

- You're back. - Yes, lord!

How did it go?

It's near castle Chunwie 15 days later.

15 days later?

I will disguise it as the lookout of border and hunting.

If this succeeds, I can stop their excuse to extend soldiers

and taxes fundamentally.

Yes, lord! And your love can happen, too.

Pardon? Lord? You will meet Baekjae King 5 days later?

Yes! So don't abolish eating now.

Lord! Then the hunting you will do 5 days later?

Yes, but nobody knows how it'd go. So be silent.

Yes, lord! Yes, lord!

What? Alliance?

Is it true? Did Baekjae emissary come here?

Yes, Princess!

Certainly, Baekjae and Silla is promoting marriage alliance.

As I know, it would threat your throne.

Wouldn't it be?

And you have nobles with the same interests.

Is the revenge towards Sunhwa?

Or is it revenge towards King that your family was destructed?

What's so important now?

My life is drifted now,

connecting people with the same interest,

is my job and duty now.

Lord! Just...

Lord! A war has occurred in the border of Silla!

What?
