I haven't done this in a long time.

That's why I'm a bit unfamiliar with it.

And

after so many years, the knives and swords should all be rusty already.

No.

Although I don't know much about swordplay,

but I've never seen someone with such excellent skills as you, master.

In this world,

there are many unexpected experts.

Master,

how long will it take for me to attain your level of standard?

1 year?...No,

I will be willing to learn even if it takes me 10 years.

Come...

Sit before me.

Turn around.

Yes.

Your bones are too weak.

Hold your breath.

It's so cold.

Eh? Isn't that chu-mo?

Oh no. Chu-mo! Chu-mo!

What did you do to him?

Why has he fainted?

This is really...

Hey. Chu-mo! Chu-mo!

Wake up!

Wake up, chu-mo!

Get up! Get up!

I've cleared your accupoint,

in the future, your energy will be able to flow smoothly.

If you will train vigorously, protecting yourself will not be a problem.

Have you found out anything?

Yes.

There are only 10 soldiers guarding the prison.

This is a good opportunity, brother.

Pick a few agile fighters.

Yes.

I will lead the soldiers in.

Brother, just watch me.

I'd better go personally.

Brother.

Do not tell mother about this.

Are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

Take your leave.

Have you received the sign yet?

Let his majesty and hae mo-su meet.

What are you talking about?

The old hae mo-su is already dead.

His majesty is also not the person he was 20 years ago.

He will make the right decisions.

We must believe in his majesty and buyeo's fate.

We will follow his majesty's instructions.

No way. There's absolutely no way.

How are his majesty and hae mo-su related?

They are friends who are willing to give up their lives for each other.

And also, countless people who still remember hae mo-su will follow him.

Not only that,

if the han nation knows that he is still alive,

will they sit there and do nothing?

It will start a war.

Just do as I say.

As long as hae mo-su is still alive,

he and his majesty are bound to meet someday.

Prime minister,

I am the high priestess of buyeo.

Will I do anything to harm buyeo and his majesty?

Don't worry, just do it.

You're here.

Brother.

Isn't it boring to be locked up all day?

I'm fine.

What about you all?

Don't worry about us.

We've been living under the society

and have found many hiding places.

Has do-chi made any moves?

What about bu-young?

Thanks to you, she's suffering a lot.

Suffering a lot?

Then we better rescue her from there.

How simple you make it sound.

Oh-yi,

what's wrong with you?

Don't you know why I'm acting like this?

For whom is bu-young suffering for?

Abandoning bu-young, hiding out here for his own survival. Is it an acceptable behaviour?

Oh-yi.

You're right.

This is all my fault.

Brother,

don't be so worried.

He has always been hottempered.

What can I do to appease you?

I will do whatever you ask of me.

Put your identity aside...

And fight with me.

Oh-yi, are you mad?

No, no.

That's good.

Practicing martial arts

requires a suitable opponent.

Brother, what are you saying?

Don't you know that nobody in the market can beat oh-yi?

That's why we must have a competition.

Take him on.

If fighting will appease you,

I'll do it.

It's not over yet.

Enough!

Stop it!

Stop fighting, brother.

We are supposed to be fighting others, not our own people.

Please bear with it, brother.

You still want to continue?

About bu-young...

I admit that I'm responsible for the plight she's in now.

And I will rescue her for sure.

Amazing.

Oh-yi's skills are not simple.

Yet you could easily defeat him.

I was surprised too.

My body felt very light.

And I could feel a surge of power in my arms.

What are you trying to do? You...

Mother.

This mother cannot give you anything to help you.

Don't get injured. You must be careful.

Mother.

A penny for your thoughts.

Your face is shrouded in dark clouds.

Is it because of ju-mong?

My lady,

do you know what frightens and agonizes me the most?

A person like your majesty

has something to be afraid of?

I am human too, how can I not have my fears?

I have seen many battles

and have been injured many times

but I've never been afraid of my enemy.

Then,

what is your majesty so fearful of?

That is..

You, my lady.

I can stand the sight of speared meat and chopped bones.

But my lady's sad face is the one that pierces straight through my heart.

The pain is unbearable.

Your majesty.

I believe in that child.

He will come back, fit and well.

Don't worry.

Your majesty.

His majesty really went to lady yoo-hwa's quarters?

Yes, your majesty.

This is the first time since prince ju-mong has left the palace.

I understand, you may leave.

Mother.

It's young-po.

Come in.

How is it?

Everything's ready.

We must not fail this time.

No one in the palace

must know of this. We must be careful.

Yes.

I will repay her all the suffering she's caused me over the years.

These specially made swords...

Are for the princes.

You've done well.

Let's go.

Yes, brother.

Prince.

What's wrong?

How is prince ju-mong?

Why do you ask?

I was just curious.

He disobeyed orders and burned down the ironware workshop.

He's been stripped of his title and thrown out of the palace.

Don't mention him again.

He is a silly fellow oblivious to worldly affairs.

Where has he been thrown to?

- Are you ready? - Yes.

15 men will go inside to kill the them

the remaining men will stay outside the cave and take down anyone who dashes out.

We must act quickly.

Yes.

First group, move in!

Yeo mi-eul's coming too?

Yes, your majesty.

How can there be a place that is not known to buyeo's high priestess?

Let's go.

You're going back so soon?

Going back?

I'm going out for awhile. Watch this place well. Don't even let a feather in.

Yes.

Good.

Why do I always crave for wine at this hour?

I feel it.

I feel hot air at my navel.

You must concentrate. Do not let the hot air dissipate.

Yes.

There must be no mistakes.

Don't worry, brother.

Master.

Do you hear that?

10 men are charging in.

They must be here for me.

Chu-mo.

There is no escape.

No way to hide.

We will have to face them head on.

Brother.

I've already been thrown out of the palace.

And now you want my life?

Living under the same sky with a person like you is unbearable.

Take this as your fate.

All relations

should end now.

Brother.

Master.

Here.

Master, let's go!

Master!!!

Brother!

Brother!

Master, let's go!!

After them!

Hurry up!

Yes.

Master.

It's a deep drain.

1, 2...

Over there!

Here.

Go!

Brother. It's a deep cut.

How was it?

- They escaped. - You!

Young-po.

Yes, brother.

- Go back to the cave and erase all trails. - Yes.

- Hurry up and bring my brother back! - Yes.

Are you alright?

Don't worry.

You go your way.

How can I do that?

Which disciple will leave their master in the lurch?

We were only jail companions, not master and disciple.

Hurry up and leave.

You can refuse to be my master,

but I will always be your disciple.

How do I live without this?

Those rascals.

Hey.

Hey, wake up!

I'm going crazy! Ahh!

Your majesty.

There are a lot of corpses outside the entrance to the cave.

There must have been a fight.

We'd better return to the palace immediately.

I want to see it for myself.

- Lead the way. - Your majesty.

- It might be dangerous. - I said lead the way.

Your majesty.

Not one of the guards or prisoners survived.

What's going on?

I do not know either.

Your majesty,

it's too dangerous to remain in here.

Let's leave it to the general and return to the palace.

General, you must get to the bottom of this.

Find out why this happened.

Yes, your majesty.

Mother...

What happened?!

Please forgive me,

I failed to protect brother.

Why didn't you inform me that dae-so was going too?!

I did not wish to worry mother,

nor did brother allow me to divulge his plans...

How is the prince?

The injury sustained is severe, he is still in critical condition.

My dae-so...

You absolutely must not let his majesty come to know that dae-so is wounded.

Whatever happens, you must never reveal this secret!

Yes, your majesty.

Please bear with it a little longer,

I'm going off now to find someone to treat you.

You are... chu-mo?

My name is ju-mong.

Ju-mong...

Yes.

If you remain in my company, you'll be in great danger.

Leave this place immediately!

I am unable to do that.

I will cure master!

Hang in there!

Do hang in there!

The results of the corpse analysis are out,

all were the remains of the criminals and the prison guards that were on duty.

Was there not a single corpse of those who raided the prison?

It is most likely that they've removed the corpses to conceal the truth.

Prime minister

yes, your majesty.

Who are the ones who had prior knowledge of the existence of this prison?

Only your loyal subject and yeo mi-eul.

In that case,

who exactly would you say launched a raid on that prison and killed all the criminals?!

Prime minister, investigate and seek that person out.

If, you're unable to do so; You, prime minister, who concealed the existence of this prison,

will assume all responsibility!

The person who raided the prison must have done so in order to save hae mo-s...

The only souls that have knowledge of hae mo-su's imprisonment,

are prime minister and myself, yeo mi-eul.

It was not a raid with intention to save hae mo-s...

Even if what you, yeo mi-eul said is correct,

but the fact is, hae mo-su is definitely reappearing in the world.

What should we do now?

If we don't find out who did it,

then I'll have to bear all responsibility.

No,

who exactly raided the prison?

Brother,

don't tell me

could it be, do-chi?

No, it's not do-chi.

I must fetch bu-young away at once.

The reason why bu-young is unable to escape is because her brothers are enslaved.

If there was only bu-young to save,

I would have rescued her from that place long ago.

I'm not asking her to escape,

I just need her to come out for awhile to treat someone, then I'll send her back.

There are a lot of people keeping watch on bu-young,

how will we sneak her out?

I'll, go personally to do-chi's inn.

What?!

Brother!

I heard from han-Cheng that before coming here you were a divination palace maid,

is that true?

Yes.

I heard that you learned how to treat wounds at the divination palace,

is that true?

Although my skills are not exactly perfect, I've learned some before.

That's excellent!

My stomach has been aching all this time, come and take a look at it.

Hurry up!

Bu-young,

if I knew you had such abilities earlier on,

I would have treated you better.

Hurry up.

Bu-young... here!

It's here!

- Boss! - It's ok...

Boss!

It's ok... Boss!

Bu-young! Boss!

Boss!

What's the matter?

Yeon ta-bal's men have attacked the inn.

What?!

What are you standing there for?

Seize him immediately!

Seize him!

Yeon ta-bal...

Keep quiet!

Bu-young.

Your highness...

You must come along with me.

What's the matter?

Why won't he regain consciousness?

Your majesty,

even with my medical skills, I'm unsure of how to treat him anymore.

What?!

Mother,

what should we do now?

Your majesty,

I think it's about time we report the matter to his majesty.

What should I tell his majesty?!

When he asks for the cause of dae-so's injury, what should I tell him?!

Mother, don't you worry.

I will do it.

I will explain to father.

What happened?

Your majesty..

I asked you what happened?

Yesterday,

I went hunting with brother.

Brother was accidentally mauled by a wild beast, we thought it was a minor wound.

We didn't expect it to turn out more serious than we thought.

What does the imperial physician say?

The imperial physician says he has done his best...

Palace emissary.

Yes, your majesty.

Call yeo mi-eul over quickly.

Yes, your majesty.

He is no longer in critical condition, you don't need to worry anymore.

When night falls, I'll sneak out again to continue treatment.

It has been hard on you.

Do go back quickly.

Oh-yi, you help escort bu-young back.

Yes.

Take care!

That... brother,

that person, what crime did he commit to get himself locked up in prison?

What crime he committed, that, I do not know either.

But he was a da-mul soldier in the past.

You say,

he's a da-mul soldier?

You know someone in the da-mul army?

Yes.

Hyeop-Bo's father was a da-mul soldier.

Yes,

I heard from my mother that my father died on the battlefield while fighting the han army.

The general who led the da-mul army,

was general hae mo-su!

Hae mo-su...

How is it?

You may go in and see him,

he should be coming around now.

You have done well.

It has been hard on you.

Prime minister...

You say prince dae-so was mauled by a beast?

That's what I heard.

He wasn't mauled by a beast.

You mean?

I've brought him.

You may leave.

What is it?

It seems like you were the one who said prince dae-so's was injured by a wild beast...

Yes I did.

Why do you ask?

Please tell the truth.

The injury prince dae-so sustained is unusually severe, why is that so?

Are you insinuating that I'm lying?!

Prince young-po,

that injury of his, was not caused by a wild beast.

It was a sword that did it!

Who exactly wounded prince dae-so?

Are you trying to decieve the god of heaven?!

That...

Don't worry, tell us.

Your secret is safe with yeo mi-eul and I.

Prince dae-so and I...

Went to the mountains where the hidden prison was located.

What was your highness' purpose in visiting the hidden prison?!

Do tell us!

Hiding in that prison,

was prince ju-mong.

Brother dae-so and I,

wished to eliminate that rascal!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

You could never find such fine tiger skins in all of han nation.

There are five skins in total,

give us 100 rubies in exchange.

These skins are not good!

We understand mandrin as well, what are you whispering for?

As if your ears could hardly hear!

If these really are the finest tiger skins, we can accept your terms.

But these tiger skins are of inferior quality.

We'll offer you only 50 rubies.

What did you say?!

We aren't trading anymore!

On what basis do you say these are of inferior quality?

The fur is too uneven

look here.

Look carefully.

A good tiger skin when pressed will regain it's original state instantaneously,

but this tiger skin is unable to regain it's original state.

That is the most effective basis by which one determines inferior goods.

Really!

No, how did those guys handle the tiger skins?!

It's impossible for this batch of inferior goods to fetch a price of 100 rubies...

Whether you want to proceed with the transaction, it's up to you!

Alright,

I'll exchange them for 50 rubies.

Come! Come! Come quickly!

Stop the trade!

Gye-pil.

Yes.

Go and chop off their hands!

No, what the hell are you saying?!

Why do you want to chop our hands off?

You tried to trick our trade group, and so, you should pay the price.

Your palms were damp with the sweat you wiped off your forehead,

and you use those same hands to press the tiger skins. I saw it all...

I am unable to forgive those who use such clandestine tricks.

What are you all standing there for? Take them away!

Yes.

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help me! Help!

It looks like it might still be too early to entrust you with the trade group.

Are you mocking me?

Yes.

What?!

You're really...!

Over-confidence will surely lead to disaster.

Miss' excessive self-confidence is sometimes a boon but less often than a bane.

Miss,

We have found ju-mong's whereabouts.

Hyeop-Bo...

What is it?

If we continue on like this, will we be able to change our fortunes?

Don't talk about changing our fortunes,

we might even be unable to preserve ourselves.

Why don't we forget about it?

Oh-yi, you're definitely thinking of not caring anymore right?

Why won't I care?

Don't you dislike brother because of bu-young?

Although it is true,

as a man, how can I go back on the promise I've made?

Even if I had to die, I'll never do such a thing.

Yes!

Oh-yi, what you said was right!

We'll persevere til' the end!

Brother...

Yeon ta-bal's trade group trade master, so seo-no is here to see you.

This place,

how did you discover it?

I know you're on the run from do-chi's trade group...

Only I, know that you're hiding here,

so don't worry.

You're in this predicament because of me,

so I've come to help you.

You can't possibly be on the run your entire life,

so I propose you join our trade group.

Our trade group will protect you.

I didn't save you to get a reward.

I thank you for your proposal,

but the situation I'm in now,

does not permit me to join your trade group. So you may leave.

There wasn't anyone following you?

Yes.

Let's go in.

What are you doing over there?

Are you feeling better now?

I'm almost completely recovered,

so don't you worry now.

The wild flowers here are really fragrant.

A long time ago...

There was once a woman I failed to protect.

She was just as sweet-smelling.

I...

Have such a woman too.

Is she a woman you love?

It's my mother.

I...

Seem to be unable to protect my mother as well.

I'm someone who can't even protect myself,

a useless fellow.

Those half-brothers who wanted to kill you, wish to kill your mother as well?

Even I am not spared,

much less my mother.

If that is the case,

then you could always bring them to the buyeo local authorities.

Buyeo local authorities,

won't be able to deal with them either.

Who exactly are they?

Why are they so special?

They are buyeo's princes.

I am...

Their half-brother...

The third son of king geum-wa,

ju-mong.

What did you say?

You say you're geum-wa's son?

Yes.

Poh Kim.

Haemosu...

Haemosu is still alive?

My death...

Is the only way for me to forget haemosu

go find out

he may be the real prince

lady.

Is that the man in your heart?

Is that him'?

Go tell your father.

I am leaving the palace tonight

he seems to speak the truth

who are you meeting?

I am meeting geumvva

then I'll save your life
