Original subtitles

You should at least greet him.

This is Master Kang Chae-yun, a royal guard.

Hello.

I'm Kang, a royal guard who works in the palace.

What is Master Yi doing here?

He's quite a decent man.

He even saved my life once.

Doesn't Garion know that he's a rebel?

Here you go.

Okay.

Right.

Are you off to somewhere far?

No, and...

it's none of your business.

I should get going then.

Take care.

What's going on?

You and your cruel games.

We will soon all be on the same boat anyway,

so I thought it was a good opportunity to meet.

Things won't go your way.

You're a traitor of Secret Roots and a rebel of this country.

My deal...

with you is already over.

A warrior cannot end his sin of treachery...

by a mere deal.

Kang Chae-yun, who lost his father to Yi Bang-won and his son,

became your pupil.

Do you think it was a coincidence?

I believe

the only way to clear your karma is getting your revenge...

on the family that took...

your master and your woman.

Yi Do, the son of Yi Bang-won, always has Mu-hyul by his side.

You will take care of him.

Then,

your pupil will take care of Yi Do.

If not,

you will once again...

lose Kang Chae-yun to that family.

Just this once,

lend me a hand.

That will never happen.

Neither I...

nor Chae-yun will help.

How are you...

acquainted with Garion?

I've been on the road for years now.

He's someone I met on the way.

Right, of course.

Sir,

I have something to ask.

Is the person you want to kill

the king?

How did you know that?

So it's true.

Are you in Secret Roots?

Only their members know of that.

Were you...

really...

Jeong Do-jeon's bodyguard?

Please tell me.

Were you in Secret Roots?

Do you know who Jeong Gi-jun is?

No,

I don't.

Then--

Do not inquire.

Not about Secret Roots or Jeong Gi-jun.

Do not show interest.

Also, don't carry out

what you're about to do.

I regret teaching you martial arts.

I regret pitying you after I saw you cry and teaching you how to wield a sword.

And you aim it at the king?

I regret it so deeply.

So please stop this.

Don't meet the same fate as I did,

forget everything,

dress in white, and live...

as a farmer somewhere.

Sure.

Sure thing, Master.

That is what I'm willing to do.

How can you live such a life

if you wish to assassinate the king?

Master,

not anymore.

The one I'm after...

isn't Yi Do anymore.

Jeong Gi-jun of Secret Roots.

That's who I'm after.

What are you talking about?

Master,

I have a small and simple dream.

I wish to live as a farmer with the woman I cherish.

That's what I want.

The woman you cherish?

Do you remember Dam who I once told you about?

Dam is alive, Master.

Right?

Master, she's alive!

Did Yi Bang-ji really show himself?

What did I tell you?

Right at this moment,

he is probably with Kang Chae-yun.

Sir, I wish to know of your thoughts.

The state exam incident, the young scholar's suicide,

Kang Chae-yun, and now Yi Bang-ji.

That's not all.

You even ordered for the reinforcement of the Jeongmu Brigade.

What?

Have you changed your mind then?

Are you going to take a different approach to bring about the chancellor system?

It's now all up to Yi Do.

However,

he has already given up on his son

and showed me how much he wants to issue a new alphabet.

That being said, I should get ready too.

To stop this alphabet from ever seeing the light of day,

I will not hesitate to be a traitor.

Even if history says that I'm the most despicable,

I will not stop.

Wait...

could it be...

an assassination by sword?

If that is the case, that's all the more reason to stay away from them.

Right away,

take your lady and run away.

Don't take a side and just leave.

Master--

That is the only way you can protect the ones you love.

No, I won't do that.

Why not?

What's most important to me

is Dam.

What's important to her though...

are the letters.

Why is that--

Those letters are now...

important to me as well.

Dam...

and our children...

Imagine those kids...

learning the ways of the world through others' writings,

and writing their own short pieces.

-And-- -What if...

you lose everything before then?

What if you lose her, the letters,

and get branded as a traitor?

Master.

I see you're speaking from experience,

but it'll be different for me.

How?

You're also a warrior who must kill or die trying.

Those ruling the country

haven't changed since my time.

Is there any difference between me loving my master's woman

and you loving a court lady, who belongs to the king?

He went after Yi Bang-ji?

Yes, Your Majesty.

He seemed outraged after seeing how the scholars were.

He went after Yi Bang-ji to figure out who Jeong Gi-jun is.

I could tell it in his eyes that he would succeed.

You are right.

KING SEJONG, YI DO

He will succeed for sure.

Because he has a wish.

All my life,

I thought I was nothing but trash.

Don't think that you will be any different.

"I must protect what my love cherishes.

I must do my duty as a warrior."

Those thoughts as a warrior or a man

are all useless pride.

Just live your life like a coward instead.

The people of this country...

can only protect their loved ones

by letting go of their pride.

If not, they'll lose everything.

Why must it be that way?

Why?

Why must we be cowards...

to protect the ones...

we love?

You can't live peacefully as a subject if you don't even know that.

All right, fine.

Let me ask you this then.

Are you fine

with losing the one you cherish?

If so, then I'll help you.

I'll tell you...

who Jeong Gi-jun is.

Their chat is taking quite a while.

Of course.

It won't be easy for Kang Chae-yun...

to persuade Yi Bang-ji.

You will follow Yi Bang-ji and find out

where he lives.

Yes, sir.

Just live your life like a coward instead.

The people of this country

can only protect

their loved ones by letting go of their pride.

I heard you went to find Yi Bang-ji.

What happened?

I figured out another way.

Really?

If you locate Yi Bang-ji, will he lead you

to Jeong Gi-jun?

Yes.

That's great to know.

I need to get to the kitchen.

It's my turn to cook.

Sure. Hurry along.

Wait here a second. I'll bring you some boiled chestnuts.

No, it's okay.

Are you fine with losing the one you cherish?

Would there be anything that'd be worth

losing the one

I love?

Scholars have been posting the appeal

Scholar Park Se-myung wrote before committing suicide.

Read it to me.

"A written language that defies China is destroying Joseon's order,

but the country's officials are colluding to condone it.

Aren't the government officials also scholars of Joseon?"

"So how can they agree and try to benefit from something

that shatters their principles?

They are, by all means, denying their intellect and status.

Also,

a new temple lies within the palace and heresy has been spreading,

so how may I respect the saints?

That is not all.

Promoting a slave to a second deputy commander

has disrupted the status order,

and instead of Chinese classics,

general knowledge is encouraged in the Hall of Worthies!

Learning can no longer equip scholars with political insights

and no words can change His Majesty's mind,

so how can scholars of this country

not sigh in disbelief?"

What happened to the scholars who put these up?

They have been arrested,

but other scholars of the confucian academy are making a move

as well as those in other cities.

Release all the scholars

that have been arrested.

Your Majesty,

wouldn't it be wiser

to announce that you will give up on releasing the newly made alphabet

to retrieve this situation?

I agree.

Please do so for now,

and see how the scholars react.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

You may have my head

if you suspect me of being in Secret Roots.

However, even though Secret Roots is a group of traitors,

I would not be doing my duty as a scholar

if I didn't acknowledge the true intention behind its action.

Therefore, I am here to tell you just that.

Go ahead.

Secret Roots

used the state exam incident to demonstrate...

the amount of chaos a world with no illiterates can cause.

The chaos that the alphabet you created can bring.

Do you believe

that it will only cause chaos?

Your Majesty.

You knew how it will disrupt the status order, and still--

Why do you...

think of it only as disruption?

Your Majesty!

Once people know how to read and write, they will want to study.

They will try to find a better way to live

and will squirm in order to find joy in this world.

Yes, exactly. Them squirming

will tear down the status order.

It will collapse one day anyway.

Nothing lasts forever.

Take a look at Goryeo.

It rotted like water in a pond

and was brought to its demise by noblemen.

Our Joseon is nothing like Goryeo.

In order to not follow in its footsteps,

we hold state exams to appoint government officials.

In what alphabet are the exams written in?

They're in Chinese characters that only noblemen can read!

Commoners may also take the exam and be appointed as government officials,

but in reality, only those who can read and write Chinese characters

have the chance to do so.

At this rate,

in 100 years,

children of concubines will be prohibited from taking the exams.

In 200 years,

only noblemen will take them. And in 300 years,

the status of noblemen will be sold and bought.

Your Majesty!

Joseon will become rigid

and the damage will only get worse.

Look at what the history tells you.

Isn't it the same for every country?

That is why

I came up with a means to overcome the damage.

The new alphabet

will bring us hope.

If so...

Can you abolish noblemen?

I cannot.

Can you free the slaves?

I cannot.

Can you abolish the four classes of society?

I cannot!

Then, if you give the people hope by issuing a new alphabet,

what about the people that will be tortured by that slight hope?

That is

also written in history.

They will

find their own way.

As they find their own paths,

they will fight, compromise, and accomplish.

That is the only way for Joseon to flourish forever.

If they do not,

Joseon will rot and perish

like its predecessor Goryeo.

Jeong Gi-jun asked me this when I was 12.

How is my Joseon going to be different compared to

the one Yi Bang-won built.

My father also asked me that.

How is my Joseon different? What will I do to make it different?

Kang Chae-yun also asked me this too.

"What should a king's cause for his people be?"

It has been haunting me all the time.

There is not a day that I didn't agonize over it!

Finally, I found an answer.

And now,

I can say this confidently.

This is my answer.

This is my Joseon!

So why are you doing this?

Jeong Gi-jun, you are the one who threw me the question,

but you have been killing people and using violence

just as my father did!

Are you trying to tell me that I am wrong?

Is what I am doing so wrong

that you must use violence to stop me?

Your Majesty!

I need to see him.

Jeong Gi-jun.

I must meet him.

Your Majesty, why...

I am sure that he has been watching my every move.

He must know that my final answer

is this new alphabet.

But Your Majesty...

Jeong Gi-jun must have thought a lot

about this alphabet too.

I can persuade him

if his view is different from mine.

No, wait.

Actually, he could persuade me.

It proves

how debatable, clever

and worthy this alphabet is.

Yi Sin-jeok,

Hwang Hui, or Choi Man-ri?

Who must I go through to meet Jeong Gi-jun?

Your Majesty, Jeong Gi-jun is a traitor

who must be arrested and beheaded on sight!

Everyone seems to agree

that this alphabet goes against history

and will disrupt the order of Joseon.

I want to ask Jeong Gi-jun if that is true.

Isn't this the right time

to have a sit-down with him?

How did it go?

We had him followed, but he got away.

However,

the men at all four gates reported

that they didn't see him.

He must still be within the walls.

Yi Bang-ji, what are you doing back in Hanyang?

Are you still in ties with Secret Roots?

Yi Bang-ji...

Yi Bang-ji has reappeared!

What?

In Hanyang?

Yes.

Kang Chae-yun did say that he had a way to find Yi Bang-ji.

I have just confirmed his whereabouts.

-Then-- -Arrest him.

He is a member of Secret Roots

and will know where Jeong Gi-jun is.

Mobilize the palace guards.

You must bring in Yi Bang-ji now!

Yes, sir.

Yi Do, the son of Yi Bang-won, always has Mu-hyul by his side.

You take care of him.

Then,

your pupil will take care of Yi Do.

If not,

you will once again lose Kang Chae-yun to that family.

The one I'm after

isn't Yi Do anymore.

It's Jeong Gi-jun of Secret Roots.

Must I betray

Secret Roots one more time?

How is my life

always like that of a vermin's?

Go...

save Lord Sambong.

What happened?

Lord Sambong

has passed away.

Please give this

to Lord Jeong Do-gwang...

What do you mean

he's dead?

How can Lord Sambong be dead?

Kill me.

The fact that I used a woman to concoct a scheme

is a disgrace to myself as a warrior too.

However,

let me make this one thing clear.

Sambong and the woman died

not because of me,

but because you hesitated.

Because you hesitated,

those two people died.

Didn't you wish for Sambong to die?

With Sambong out of the picture,

you thought the woman could be yours!

Will I...

hesitate once again...

and ruin everything?

I knew that my indecisiveness

would lead me down this path.

Get him!

Follow him!

Yi Bang-ji,

I won't let you go.

Over here!

You came even though you know who I am.

That's quite brave of you.

It's been a while.

We finally meet, Yi Bang-ji.

Stay back 100 steps.

No, sir.

Stand back!

Jeong Gi-jun, the leader of Secret Roots.

Where is he?

It's obvious you know.

Are you trying to make me a traitor again?

I don't want to get involved in fights between people in power anymore.

I'm not asking because I wish to take his head.

Isn't this the right time

to have a sit-down with him?

His Majesty

would like a word with him.

You detest the fight between those higher up.

Know this though.

His Majesty and Jeong Gi-jun having a sit-down...

can put an end to it.

Politics have changed you.

You now lie too.

Don't you know me, Yi Bang-ji?

Does this seem

like a scheme?

You may have been away from the palace,

but you heard about His Majesty.

The day Jeong Do-gwang died,

His Majesty

ordered us to save him and Jeong Gi-jun.

His Majesty...

is not like any other person.

Trust me, Yi Bang-ji.

Once this is over,

can he let Chae-yun and So-i go?

You say His Majesty is not like any other man,

so can he do it?

If His Majesty does not agree to it,

I'll help them myself.

I promise you as a warrior.

Also,

I promise you as someone who owes you his life.

Give me time.

How can one live during these scary times?

The scholars are protesting everywhere.

He's right about that.

It's scary to go out into the market these days.

What has this country come to?

I'm so worried that I can't even properly sleep at night!

For someone who says he's worried,

you sure eat a lot!

It's your plot, isn't it?

You're behind this recent event.

Do you know that Master Yi is here?

Of course. We had him come ourselves.

Why?

It's so that you can finally have your chance.

The chance to do what you desire.

The Leader

is about to make a decision.

Does he want me...

to kill His Majesty?

What? Mu-hyul just let Yi Bang-ji go?

Yes, sir. They talked for a while

and parted ways.

Kang Chae-yun

spoke of Yi Bang-ji to you voluntarily?

Yes, sir.

I was surprised by how enthusiastic he seemed.

Is that so?

Yes, of course.

That's understandable.

Sir, Mu-hyul raided Yi Bang-ji's residence.

And?

Was he arrested?

They parted ways without even fighting each other.

What do you mean they just parted ways?

Isn't it weird? Are you sure we can leave him be?

What if he told Mu-hyul about you?

No, wait. What if they've been in on this together?

He asked for some time.

Finally...

I'll finally be able to meet Jeong Gi-jun.

He has led a secret society for decades.

He may be cautious,

but if Yi Bang-ji can persuade him--

No, it's good.

You did well.

Good job, Mu-hyul.

I will ensure full safety if that's what's needed

for me to meet Jeong Gi-jun.

Draw up a plan

on how we can get him to trust us enough to meet.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Good.

Jeong Gi-jun...

Know this though.

His Majesty and Jeong Gi-jun having a sit-down can put an end to it.

If that happens,

it'll be a win for everyone,

including Chae-yun

and the girl.

Master.

Have you thought about it?

I haven't decided yet.

Tell me.

Why do you think

that I will lose what I cherish if I keep going?

You and I are of the same fate.

Even our horoscopes are the same.

I'm worried that you'd become like me.

Like always,

we below always suffer while the those above argue.

All I wished was for you not to get tangled in it.

Wouldn't it be nice for us...

if those above didn't argue?

What do you mean?

There may be a way for that to happen.

A way?

Did you know that the king pours alcohol

over Jeongryun Rock sometimes?

It is to honor Lord Sambong.

The king we're currently serving...

could be the one to do it.

It's almost time to meet Yi Bang-ji.

I'm worried though.

If he and Mu-hyul have an agreement--

She's right.

You shouldn't meet--

Sir!

Yi Chi-seong, the Governor of Hamgil-do, sent an urgent message.

Yi Chi-seong?

Is that

Yi Chi-seong of Hamgil-do?

He sent one himself?

Isn't that forbidden?

He had good reason.

Kang Chae-yun...

He fooled us all!

What do you mean?

Take a look.

At the Hamgil-do Provincial Office,

a man and a few palace guards visited discreetly

with secret orders from the king himself.

Do you know who that man was?

Who was it?

It was Prince Gwangpyeong!

Prince Gwangpyeong...

is alive.

What?

Kang Chae-yun...

I was about to come to you.

I'm in a rush, you see.

So,

have you given it thought?

Will you join us?

The King wishes to see you.

That was Mu-hyul's message.

The King wants to meet you.

The King still thinks he and Secret Roots can achieve harmony.

If he were to ensure your safety--

You piece of trash.

You either mean it,

or you've been duped by the king.

Either way, you're a pathetic vermin

who betrayed Secret Roots twice.

Even though you're a skilled swordsman,

you will rot before you get to put it to good use.

Kang Chae-yun

and Yi Bang-ji.

I was a fool to have wanted you on my side.

I'm glad I quickly came to my senses.

This is the last time...

we'll ever meet, Yi Bang-ji.

You're the savage beast that's was hiding behind the wall.

What's your name?

Kareupeyi.

From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow, I'll meet Yi Bang-ji at Yeoneum Temple.

This is what I suggest to ensure Jeong Gi-jun's safety.

Good.

Have Yi Bang-ji give this to Jeong Gi-jun tomorrow.

-Yes, Your Majesty. -We need to win

Jeong Gi-jun's trust.

If Jeong Gi-jun agrees to meet with me,

I'll take any risk if needed to make that happen.

I thought...

you were just a myth of the north,

but you really exist.

You have...

never lost,

have you?

You haven't.

What a shame.

It really is.

It's such a shame...

that I met you at this age.

You...

are...

strong.

What?

Are you saying that Yi Bang-ji fell off a cliff?

What about the body?

Did you confirm it?

I...

cannot...

go...

in the water.

What now?

What if he's still alive?

We just poked a tiger!

He was Joseon's greatest swordsman at one time!

Also, he is aware of your identity.

Since he and Mu-hyul have met,

the palace guards might barge in here at any moment.

Sir,

you must hide.

You must leave this place!

It is past 5 p.m.

Even if Jeong Gi-jun had declined,

Yi Bang-ji would have still come.

It seems like...

something has happened.

What is going on,

Yi Bang-ji?

Judging by the marks, they were made quite recently.

Was this all done

by a sword?

What happened,

Master?

Did you look into what I asked?

Well, no.

It's not like I know everything that happens inside the palace.

I can't just dig up information just because you asked.

Do you think I'm capable of delivering such information?

Of course I am.

I found out everything.

-What happened? -Yesterday,

the Palace Guards were on site.

Commandant Mu-hyul led them out himself.

The Palace Guards?

That's not all. When Commandant Mu-hyul left,

he took the sword he kept hidden in his closet.

What sword?

I'm not exactly sure,

but it's the kind of sword he has reserved

only for his worst enemies.

Seriously? You're running off again?

When do I get my meat?

I have something to ask.

Where is Yi Bang-ji?

That was my question to you.

Did you...

meet my master yesterday?

Are you saying

you don't know what happened either?

I was just as surprised to see the mess at his house.

What on earth happened?

I looked around

and the mess seemed to be from a duel.

A stone lantern was split in vertically in half

by a sword.

What?

It's the work of a remarkable swordsman.

There are not many people in Joseon as skilled as...

He's dead!

Could it be him?

Is there someone

Yi Bang-ji would seek out beside you?

Garion.

He was with Garion.

Garion?

How do they know each other?

They met while on the road once.

All right then.

Ask Garion what he knows and search near Banchon.

I will look for him in the mountains again.

Yes, sir.

Garion?

I'm not sure.

I honestly don't know.

Boss!

Have you seen Boss?

I'm actually here to see her too,

but she's nowhere to be found.

What's going on?

Ms. Dodam and I will

secretly leave Banchon tonight.

Of course.

Yi Bang-ji could still be alive,

and we cannot trust Kang Chae-yun at the moment.

That's right. We don't know what'll happen,

so it's best to move our base of operations.

You will stay here for now.

Get a picture of what's going on and report back.

I won't let you down.

Don't worry, sir.

Where on earth

is Garion and Ms. Dodam?

What if

the Secret Roots attacked Master Yi?

What?

Yi Bang-ji is missing?

Yes. We searched the area around Gudalsan Mountain,

but we couldn't find any trace.

Even if Jeong Gi-jun didn't agree to the meeting,

Yi Bang-ji should've come.

That is what I thought as well.

However, there were signs of battle at his residence.

Something must have happened.

Damn it!

Did Secret Roots come after him?

We're looking into that

and there's a good chance that it's true.

Isn't Yi Bang-ji

a skilled swordsman himself?

He is not one to be easily outmatched.

If he's well, he will contact us.

Jeong Gi-jun.

There is something I must say to you and something I must hear.

Shouldn't we continue

our debate from the shrine?

Your Majesty,

let us wait for now.

If I could...

meet Jeong Gi-jun,

debate with him,

and persuade him over to my side,

the Joseon I picture...

will begin much sooner.

Your Majesty.

Isn't Yi Bang-ji

a greatly skilled swordsman?

Royal Guard Kang Chae-yun tells me

that he is a man like the wind.

He will contact you.

Your Majesty, the scholars are out for blood.

To head out at night without the guards--

I needed to clear my head.

Anyway, I have you, don't I?

What could possibly happen?

Boss collected her things

and left Banchon.

I see.

You should leave too, sir.

Right.

I should.

Follow Han's lead and do as he says,

all right?

Yes, Leader.

Garion, are you there?

My goodness!

Commandant Mu-hyul, what brings you by at this late hour?

Hello, sir.

Pack up some decent meat and follow me out.

Are you--

I'm going to Jeongryun Rock.

What's taking you so long?

I'll get right on it.

A good piece of meat came in today.

I was going to offer it to His Majesty,

but I've yet to cut it up.

Why don't you take the whole meat for a barbecue?

It'll taste incredible.

That sounds good.

Gae-pai!

Bring the meat and some side dishes and follow me out.

After you.

Sure.

Ms. Dodam's gone?

She hasn't been seen since noon.

She'll be back. Where else could she go anyway?

I'm sure she just went out.

Do you know any forest rangers or ginseng diggers

at Gudalsan Mountain?

If I asked around, I could even know the Emperor of Ming.

Why do you ask though?

A witness.

"A witness"?

Are you on a secret investigation?

Or,

is Ms. Dodam hiding in Gudalsan Mountain?

Actually--

What about it? Tell me. Tell me now!

You always must know, musn't you?

Is that what you like?

Just get me the information by noon!

Just find out for me.

What's with the temper?

That's not how you ask for favors!

Are you kidding me? You can't treat me this way.

Give it back. It's mine!

-Give it back! -You.

Would you like me to take something of yours and run around with it?

Where did you learn such a thing? Give it back!

Now go!

Why you...

That stupid little Banchon kid.

Give it back. Give it back now.

It's mine!

Give it back already.

The stone wasn't cracked to make this.

Someone just pierced sticks into it.

A wooden stick pierced the torso.

Where did you get this?

I didn't steal it.

It was a gift.

A gift? From whom?

Kareupeyi gave it to me...

because he was leaving.

Kar... What?

What kind of a name is that?

Does she mean Gae-pai?

It's the man that works for Garion.

Chae-yun!

Garion is here with Commandant Mu-hyul.

He's always busy, isn't he?

He hasn't rested a day since he came here from the north.

What?

Where is everyone?

My gosh!

Why is your sword drawn?

They're not here. Where are they?

They must have left.

Something's odd though.

-What is? -I've been watching this place,

but I didn't see Garion go in.

Then Commandant Mu-hyul

asked if Garion was inside,

and that's when I heard his voice.

How could he be in here when I didn't see him enter?

Now that I'm out here,

I feel the cold night breeze.

So-i, are you all right?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm enjoying the cool air.

You're right.

It is refreshing.

Garion.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm sorry for troubling you like this.

You can't even get some sleep because of me.

Your Majesty, please don't say that.

It's not necessary at all.

I needed to clear my head after today's events,

which is why I came out here.

You know,

I feel like I could do anything if I were to be born again.

However, I do not wish to be a king.

Then,

what do you wish to be?

I'm not sure.

Wait, I know what.

I think I would make a mean Palace Guard Commandant.

Come to think of it,

you don't do much,

so your job is easy.

Your Majesty,

that is not true.

You have no idea how difficult my job is.

Can't you see what's going on?

Even So-i is laughing.

Sure, Your Majesty.

I hope you become a Commandant of the Palace Guards

in your next life and serve a king just like you.

Why you...

How dare you curse your king!

Goodness.

What? Gae-pai is...

that killer?

Right from the beginning, I knew he was different.

But,

how could he

have honed such martial arts?

Wait.

That's not the point.

It means he's in Secret Roots.

What about Garion then?

Garion?

What are you doing?

You didn't see Garion enter,

but he appeared from the inside.

There must be something here.

Right.

I should serve a king just like me?

Is that your way of insulting me?

Well...

The commandant

must be exhausted, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

you're in danger.

What is going on?

Why did you...

want to see me,

Yi Do?

SIMMUN CHEONDAP

Hey, look at this.

It's the book by Jeong Do-jeon.

SAMBONG JEONG DO-JEON

This place...

is Secret Roots' lair.

Garion...

I didn't think

you'd be able to do much,

but you've achieved quite a lot,

Yi Do.

Are you Jeong Gi-jun?
