Prince ju-mong said that in order to be ahead in the crown prince competiton,

he will focus all his efforts on developing steel weapons.

So, together with the ironware workshop leader, mo pal-mo,

he is trying to discover the secret to the puddling steel method.

You've really re-established my fallen prestige.

Thank you.

Please don't say that.

I'm willing to do anything for your highness

even if it costs me my life.

Do-chi.

Yes, your highness.

Don't just speak empty words. I can see right through you.

I'm not an ignorant simpleton.

What? Who would dare..

Who would ever think that of you?

Brother dae-so has finally recognized my abilities now.

He realized I am smart after all.

Of course! With your abilities, there is no doubt

your highess can become the crown prince of buyeo.

You really think so?

Yes, your highness.

I have decided to change my strategy in this crown prince competition.

What do you mean?

Keep this to yourself.

Of course.

For now, I will join forces with brother.

After eliminating ju-mong, I will compete with brother

and overturn everything in the end.

What do you think?

That's brilliant!

To be able to serve someone like your highness

is indeed a great honor for my family.

If this succeeds, it'll be much more than a family honor.

Get that oh-yi guy here.

Yes.

Is han-dang outside?

Yes, boss.

- Bring oh-yi in now. - Yes.

Come closer.

You have a very important role.

If you finish it well, I will reward you greatly.

Your majesty, special envoy ju-mong is here.

What did Yang-jeong say?

He was rude,

and said that without han nation's presence, buyeo won't be the country it is today.

So?

I told him that han nation never helped buyeo,

but only interfered in our affairs and threatened us.

From now on, buyeo shall not tolerate that anymore.

Furthermore, I warned him that your majesty will mobilize our buyeo troops first

if han nation tries to do otherwise.

Excellent.

You have passed my message very well indeed.

I was very surprised when I heard his highness's words as well,

but Yang-jeong nearly jumped out of his skin and couldn't speak a word.

Well done, general.

You have worked hard.

Brother, did you see that proud look on his face

and how affectionately his majesty looked upon ju-mong?

Shut up.

What should we do, brother?

What if his majesty decides to...

I said shut up!

Na-ru!

Yes, your highness.

Go and take a look at the ironware workshop.

Yes.

What are you doing?

You don't need to know.

Hey you! You said I don't need to know?

As a guard of the ironware workshop, I am asking what you are here for

and you say I don't need to know?

You're not making any sense, do you know that?

How dare you! Do you know who I am?

I'm prince dae-so's bodyguard.

So what if you're a bodyguard?

I was once a bodyguard too.

The issue here is not about the his highness, but about the ironware workshop.

I just want to know what his highness's bodyguard is doing in the ironware workshop!

- Leader! Leader! - What is it?

What!?

Don't drink too much before you get home.

Are you dok-go?

Yes.

Follow me.

This is dok-go, a blacksmith from the ironware workshop.

He's been working there almost as long as mo pal-mo.

Your high... highness was looking for me?

There's nothing to fear.

Just answer the questions that I am going to ask you.

Y... yes.

Regarding the present development of the iron weaponry,

which stage are you at now?

Although we're still at the stage of making sponge steel, we're doing our best to...

I don't need politically correct answers!

You'd better not keep anything from me.

Are you all really stuck in the sponge steel stage?

Actually...

Not long ago...

We managed to make a sword that was not inferior to a steel sword from han nation.

Is that true?

Yes.

But why wasn't this reported to his majesty?

That sword wasn't made because we discovered the secret to the puddling steel method.

We accidentally raised the temperature of the fire,

which made that sword.

Leader mo pal-mo said it's too early to report to his majesty.

Up till now you have not been able to reproduce that kind of sword, right?

Yes, that's right.

I see.

Today's meeting shall be kept secret.

If you tell anyone, you will be killed.

Yes, your highness.

You may leave.

Brother, I'm sure mo pal-mo already told ju-mong about that.

I think so too.

Ju-mong made the correct judgement.

If he discovers the secret to the puddling steel method first,

the crown prince competition is as good as over.

Brother.

Let me go and catch mo pal-mo so that we can know how close they are to discovering the secret.

Have you forgotten how much insult we had suffered from ju-mong?

Messing with mo pal-mo now will only bring us trouble in the future.

Na-ru.

Yes, your highness.

I want you to keep a close watch on mo pal-mo.

Yes.

Your highness, the prime minister has sent you a letter.

Bring it to me.

I have something important to tell your highness.

Please meet me at my private residence after sunset.

What's it about?

You don't need to know.

You couldn't even rest after your go-San nation expedition

and had to go straight to hyeon-to city.

It has been hard on you.

Not at all.

While I was passing his majesty's message, I felt so good.

I am willing to carry out a task like this anytime.

Oh, while I arrived in hyeon-to city, brother dae-so was already there.

Dae-so?

He seemed to be on close terms with Yang-jeong.

The last time I also felt that he solved the trade issue too easily.

Who knows, he might be plotting something together with Yang-jeong.

After this task, it's evident that you're ahead in the competition. But...

You'll be facing even more attacks and jealousy in the future.

Ju-mong

yes, mother.

His majesty and yeo mi-eul knows that the da-mul bow is broken.

Do they know I was the one who broke it?

You told them that you could not even reach the surroundings of shijo mountain,

so they may not know.

But since she came all the way here to tell me about it,

maybe she does.

Yeo mi-eul thinks that whoever broke the da-mul bow

will bring dark clouds to buyeo's future.

If they find out it was you, that'll put you at a big disadvantage in the crown prince competition.

Yeo mi-eul thinks that whoever broke the da-mul bow

will bring dark clouds to buyeo's future.

Prince ju-mong broke the sacred da-mul bow of buyeo!

It is obvious that he's an offspring of hae mo-su, not his majesty!

Prime minister, prince dae-so has arrived.

Please let him in.

In order to prevent others from seeing us together,

I have requested this meeting in my private residence.

Please forgive my audacity.

Of course not. You have made a wise move.

So, why did you want to see me?

How was your trip to hyeon-to city?

How did you know?

After the banquet ended, I didn't see your highness in the palace and figured that out.

I went there because I was afraid that Yang-jeong will become estranged from me after the expedition.

Did you meet prince ju-mong in hyeon-to city?

I did.

You must've been very surprised.

I can imagine how furious your highness must've been. But...

The competition isn't over yet. Do not be distressed.

After prince ju-mong discovered the salt mountain in go-San,

Yang-jeong lost a weapon to threaten buyeo and must have been very shocked.

Prime minister

yes, your highness.

Ju-mong is trying to find out the secret to the puddling steel method.

If ju-mong finds out the secret and contributes to the making of steel swords,

that'll be an even greater achievement than the discovery of the salt mountain.

That would mean the crown prince competition is over, right?

Your highness

there is an achilles' heel we can use to end your crisis once and for all.

Achilles' heel?

Yes, your highness.

Buyeo's sacred object, the da-mul bow, is broken.

I know that too.

However, the person who broke the bow

is apparently none other than prince ju-mong.

Are you sure?

The high priestess yeo mi-eul said so.

I knew he lied when he said he couldn't even get near the surroundings of the shijo mountain,

but how did he manage to break a bow as strong as the da-mul bow?

Anyway, it is a fact that ju-mong lied to his majesty.

We should inform his majesty and make it public to all the officials.

It's not the right time now.

When his majesty hears about it, I really cannot predict what his reaction would be.

What do you mean?

After hae mo-su's death, his majesty changed a lot.

Although the da-mul bow issue will be fatal for prince ju-mong,

at this point of time, I'm really unsure of how his majesty will react.

We must wait for the right time,

and use it as a secret weapon to win the competition.

I heard that you went to hyeon-to city.

I thought you'd be resting in the palace.

After accomplishing my task, I didn't want to impose myself

on the trade clan and cause further inconvenience.

Is the chief in?

Yes. Please come in.

Although it can be foreseen, if his majesty sent such a defiant message,

wouldn't trade with han nation become even more difficult?

I don't think so.

Although han nation often threatened buyeo with salt, it wasn't enough to disrupt trade.

Therefore, although there's no need to trade with salt now,

the hans still needs to trade for goods from buyeo.

That's what I think too.

Although Yang-jeong was furious after hearing his majesty's words,

he didn't order the suspension of trade.

Rather, he seems more worried about buyeo's actions from now on.

That's probably the case.

As the governor of hyeon-to city, Yang-jeong's duty is

to maintain trade operations with Chang an..

If trade with buyeo does not go well, he has to bear the responsibility too.

The salt that your highness and so seo-no found in your go-San journey is this important.

- Brother! - Brother

how was your trip to hyeon-to city?

Great! How is everything with you guys?

Is there... something wrong?

It's regarding bu-young.

She is going to be sold to a han nation slave trader.

Where's do-chi?

What brings you here?

Haven't I told you that I'll pay for bu-young soon?

You did.

But your highness never came, and there were many slave traders

who were willing to pay a high price for bu-young.

I am a businessman.

Isn't it obvious that I should sell her when the conditions are good?

You...!!

As I have told you before, buyeo laws guarantee my right to buy and sell slaves.

Calm down.

Where's bu-young?

That... only her new master knows.

Why are you asking me?

I know why you're being audacious, and who's behind your back,

but bear this in mind

you have committed a big mistake.

You will regret it.

I will break do-chi's neck one day!

Let's see if he's still so snobbish then!

Do-chi never wanted to let you take bu-young in the first place.

I am sorry.

I will definitely do my best to find bu-young and bring her back.

Oh-yi! Oh-yi!

Please forgive him.

Oh-yi has been very upset lately.

No.

It all happened because I didn't settle this sooner.

What? I'm going to regret it?

Let's just wait and see who will regret in the end.

Oh-yi is here.

Where's bu-young?

- That's not for you to know. - She's fine, so you don't have to worry.

Where is she?!!

Han-dang

bring him out and show bu-young to him.

Yes.

Oh-yi

while prince young-po promised to reward you,

I'll also be doing that too.

After bu-young is released,

I will let you take her away and live happily ever after.

Let's go.

She's here.

We don't order her to do any work,

so she's living quite comfortably.

You really don't need to worry at all.

Going in?

Oh-yi

how did you get here?

Han-dang brought me here.

I was told to be sold to han nation, but I was brought here instead.

They never made me do any work, just watching over me.

I really don't know what they're trying to do.

Why are you so pale?

Are you eating well?

Don't worry about your siblings, just take care of yourself.

How... how about his highness?

Has his highness returned from hyeon-to city?

Not yet.

Wait a little while more.

I'll get you out of here soon.

Hey, hey, stop drinking, will you?

- Why are you like this in broad daylight? - Leave me alone!!!!

All right! We'll leave you alone, ok?

Anyone should be allowed to drink at least.

Oh-yi

just have faith in elder brother, I mean his highness, ok?

Faith? What faith?

This wouldn't have happened if he visited do-chi as soon as we got back from the expedition!

His highness is not interested in bu-young at all.

He was like that whether she was kicked out from the spiritual palace, or when she had to work for do-chi.

He's a buyeo prince. There's nothing he can't solve!

Hey, you. How can you say that!

Although he is a prince, at that time he was stripped of the title!

Oh-yi, that's true. You are just saying angry words.

Let's just wait, ok?

I have a favor to ask of you.

Please say.

There's a woman named bu-young in do-chi's trade clan.

I know who she is.

Do-chi said he sold bu-young to a han nation slave trader.

Because of me, she went though much suffering.

She can't be sold off as a slave to han nation.

Since you should be quite familiar with slave trade routes,

please do me a favor.

Help me find out where bu-young went to.

I'll look into it.

Leader, I will entrust my life into your hands.

Why must I be responsible for your life?

Why? If you discover the secret to the puddling steel method,

prince ju-mong will certainly become the crown prince.

Then, I will naturally become the crown prince's bodyguard, isn't it?

No, no, no... I should become a general!

- Mu-song, listen here. - Yes?

If you ever become a general, I will flee from buyeo.

What?

What are those chaps doing over there?

How can you chaps enter our trade clan's compounds without any permission?

Who are you calling "chaps"? You bimbo!

How dare you!

Using such disrespectful language! Do you know who I am?

Who cares about the language?

Who the hell are you?

What's going on!! Pal-mo!!

What are you doing!

Gye-pil! You came at the right time.

Who exactly is that woman?!

Who does she think she is?

How dare she slap a man's face! My, oh my!

Miss. Please forgive us.

They're visitors for business purposes with our trade clan.

Quick! Ask for her forgiveness!

Do you know who she is?

She's our chief's younger sister!

All that fuss! So what if you're the chief's younger sister?

Why hit me!? Why hit me!? Why hit me!?

Why hit me!? Why hit me!? Why hit me!?

- Why hit me!? Why hit me!? - Pal-mo...

What does he do?

He's the ironsmith leader in the buyeo ironware workshop.

Oh dear. How can this happen?

The chief is working on him to make an ironware workshop in gyehru,

but you made him throw a fit.

That chap, really... he has a very foul temper indeed.

Your highness

do you know who prince dae-so's bodyguard is?

I do. He's called na-ru.

That guy is spying on the ironware workshop.

Then wouldn't he be acting under prince dae-so's orders?

I'm sure his highness knows how close we are by now.

Maybe they figured out that your highness is trying to discover the secret to the puddling steel method?

Nobody besides leader, mu-song, oh-yi, ma-ri, and hyeop-Bo knows about this.

How could brother possibly find out?

However, if they continue spying on leader's work, we must take precaution.

Yes, your highness.

Did you have any new findings regarding the steel sword?

I'm making adjustments on everything, from melting the iron ore,

to the time taken for hardening it in the cast,

to the blowing of the bellows and controlling the fire.

Every part of the process has a potential to lead to new breakthroughs.

I believe in you, but this will take much time, and goes through much trial and error, right?

I think the puddling steel method is completely different from standard iron-forging techniques.

This is definitely a technique that you don't know yet.

I know that too,

but unless we can lure a blacksmith directly from the han nation's ironware workshop,

there's no way of finding it out.

Let's think of a way.

Quick say it.

The ironsmith leader knows that prince dae-so's bodyguard is spying on the ironware workshop.

Really?

Is there anything else?

In order to find out the secret of the puddling steel method,

they are planning to lure a blacksmith from the han nation's ironware workshop.

I see.

You have done well.

Your majesty, her majesty has arrived.

Let her in.

Take a seat.

Yes.

What brings you here?

After your majesty has finally regained peace of mind,

I'm afraid that what I am going to say

may revive the anxiety in your heart.

I extend my apologies.

It's about high priestess yeo mi-eul.

Go ahead.

For generations, the high priestess has been treated with the utmost respect by the buyeo people.

High priestess yeo mi-eul has also gained the people's respect for her great supernatural abilities.

But I know she's in conflict with your majesty in almost all issues nowadays.

If your majesty continues these conflicts with the divination palace,

how can the people be pacified?

If your majesty thinks that yeo mi-eul is inappropriate,

a new high priestess should be appointed, in order to restore peace among the people,

and regain their respect for the high priestess.

Yeo mi-eul has all along been respected by the people since the reign of the late king.

Is there a priestess qualified enough to replace yeo mi-eul?

Actually, have your majesty heard of priestess ma oo-ryeong?

I've met her before, and she's doing a good job

looking after the people of the ma-ga clan, together with my uncle.

I am sure she will understand and advise your majesty appropriately too.

If your majesty is awkward or uncomfortable about this,

I am willing to settle this on your behalf.

Do as you wish.

Priestess ma oo-ryeong?

Did you say you're going to appoint her into the divination palace?

Even his majesty has approved tacitly.

Your majesty

what if high priestess yeo mi-eul hears about this?

There will be a big commotion.

If you know that, then why are you doing this?

Brother

do you really not know why I'm doing this?

For the sake of dae-so.

Compared to yeo mi-eul, isn't ma oo-ryeong more clearly on our side?

If ma oo-ryeong becomes the head of the divination palace,

she can influence the people's support in favor of dae-so.

And what would the people's support mean?

That means the support to become crown prince, to become king!

Yeo mi-eul is not on dae-so's side.

I see.

But that doesn't mean she's on prince ju-mong's side either.

Whether she supports ju-mong or not, that's not the main point.

One thing for sure, if ma oo-ryeong becomes the high priestess of buyeo, she will support dae-so.

I get what you mean.

I heard the war between han nation and the southwest yi people is very fierce.

It's a seesaw battle, so it's quite likely to become a long-term war.

After a long-term war, even if han nation wins,

they are most probably going to suffer many casualties.

That means they won't mobilize troops to attack buyeo, right?

That's really good news.

How about the conflict between his majesty and high priestess yeo mi-eul?

I'm troubled by the fact that the sachuldo priestess has not left the divination palace yet.

Under the direction of high priestess yeo mi-eul,

won't the sachuldo priestesses attempt to challenge his majesty's authority?

I propose that we try to assist his majesty, at a time like this.

Are you suggesting that we oust yeo mi-eul out of the divination palace?

Well, if her conflict with his majesty continues, why not?

Palace emissary!

Be careful of what you say.

High priestess yeo mi-eul has been trusted by the people ever since the late king's reign.

If you do that, it may cause further chaos among the people.

So?!

Can you think of another way, then?

That... that...

Han nation is having a fierce battle with the southwest yi tribe.

That must be because the heavens have been touched by priestess ma oo-ryeong and you all.

Of course.

My uncle in the ma-ga clan also said that

priestess ma oo-ryeong's supernatural abilities,

surpass that of high priestess yeo mi-eul's.

That's not true.

No priestess in buyeo can surpass the supernatural abilities of high priestess yeo mi-eul.

You are being too humble.

I feel relaxed and dependent whenever I meet priestess ma oo-ryeong.

It'd be great if you can remain in our divination palace here,

instead of going back to sachuldo.

What is your majesty saying?

I don't belong to buyeo's divination palace.

I'm just saying this because I really want you by my side.

Please drink.

My lady

her majesty has called to speak privately to the sachuldo priestesses.

Seems that her majesty is plotting to remove yeo mi-eul.

You mean high priestess yeo mi-eul is going to be ousted then?

The ma-ga priestess ma oo-ryeong and the queen have been quite close for a long time.

If priestess ma oo-ryeong becomes the high priestess of buyeo,

that will be a big advantage for prince dae-so.

We'll be in big trouble if that happens.

High priestess yeo mi-eul,

the sachuldo priestesses are at her majesty's residence now.

While ma oo-ryeong was staying in the buyeo palace, she had been meeting often with her majesty.

I know.

They seem to be plotting a conspiracy to disrupt the divination palace.

We can't just stand by like this.

High priestess yeo mi-eul, you have to stop it.

I heard that you were at her majesty's residence?

Yes.

What did her majesty say?

Just tell me.

Her majesty said that it would be great if priestess ma oo-ryeong can continue to stay in buyeo palace.

High priestess yeo mi-eul.

This obviously means that her majesty wants to make priestess ma oo-ryeong the high priestess.

High priestess yeo mi-eul from the buyeo divination palace has requested to see you.

Do you know know about her current conflict with king geum-wa?

I know.

My guess is that's the reason why she wants to see you.

Do you want to come along?

Yes.

High priestess yeo mi-eul, chief yeon ta-bal is here.

Bring him in.

Yes.

How have you been?

Long time no see. Please take a seat.

I heard that you're having a tough time.

My apologies for not visiting you sooner.

Thanks for coming.

This may sound brash, but why doesn't high priestess yeo mi-eul back down this time?

If you continue to conflict with king geum-wa,

you will end up as the only one getting hurt.

I'm sure king geum-wa will understand your true intentions in due time.

Thanks for your concern, but it's not that simple.

Chief yeon ta-bal

yes?

You told me before that you wanted to be a trader that buys and sells nations.

Oh, that?

I lied to you because I wanted you to remember my existence.

How can I have the ability to really buy and sell nations?

Then why is the gyehru chief having such a strong presence in buyeo?

Is it purely for business?

Well... that...

I can help you realize your goals.

Would chief yeon ta-bal like to return the handshake I am offering?

Interesting. Yeo mi-eul wants to shake hands with me.

As interesting as it seems, it's not worth throwing away your life for.

I feel that it is better if you don't get involved

in the conflict between king geum-wa and the high priestess.

Where there is conflict, there is profit.

To be an outstanding businessman, one needs to know

how to dance exquisiteiy on the tightrope above a valley of deep conflict.

It's too dangerous.

No.

Small business comes with small risks; Big business comes with big risks.

Moreover, how could a businessman who trades nations

be overwhelmed by the risk of losing his life?

Your highness.

Upon hearing that you entered the palace, I immediately came to see you.

Chief yeon ta-bal

yes, your highness.

I've been losing sleep the past few nights over this matter

and I can't delay it any further.

Therefore, I've requested to see you.

Please say.

I have liked so seo-no for quite some time.

I haven't told his majesty and mother yet,

as I'd like to hear chief yeon ta-bal and so seo-no's replies first

before proceeding with the wedding preparations.

I would like to take so seo-no as my wife.

Please give me your blessings.

Your highness.

I am deeply honored, but because this is too sudden for us,

I can't give you any reply now

can you accept my feelings?

I know you must be at a loss right now, but prince dae-so seems anxious.

We would have to give an answer someday.

What's the best way to deal with this?

Prince dae-so has no place in my heart.

Then prince ju-mong does?

I don't want to impose my views on your choice of a husband.

However, whoever you choose is an important decision that will affect gyehru's destiny.

Think carefully.

Miss.

What is troubling you?

Nothing.

Please do tell me.

I'm the head bodyguard of our trade clan.

My most important mission is to protect our trade clan's most important asset which is you.

Thus, understanding your feelings is part of my basic duty.

Please tell me.

Prince dae-so proposed to me.

He is expecting my reply soon.

Because the crown prince competition hasn't ended yet,

you can't decide between prince dae-so and prince ju-mong, right?

Since your decision is gyehru's decision, I can imagine the extent of your anguish.

However, I want you to be happy as a woman.

Although gyeh-ru's fate is important, your fate is what matters the most.

It's me, so seo-no.

Please come in.

You should go to bed. What are you reading?

In order to find out more about the puddling steel technique,

I am studying about iron.

Is this related to the crown prince competition as well?

Even the blacksmiths couldn't solve this problem for decades.

Within a short time frame, it's impossible to do this.

But it's a problem that buyeo needs to solve someday.

If I can solve them at the slightest bit through my determination, that would be great.

Is there... anything wrong?

You don't look well.

Actually, prince dae-so proposed to me.

I already made up my mind,

but if I reject prince dae-so's proposal,

I don't know what will become of gyehru's fate.

It's very difficult for me.

Can you please help me stand firm?

I have told you that my destiny is to be together with you.

My late teacher told me this.

While trying to fulfill a great mission,

he failed to protect a woman with whom he made a promise.

He was filled with regret.

I will do whatever I can to keep my promise to you.

Strength, more strength!

- How did it turn out? - Leader!

Following leader's instructions, we mixed lime powder and Clay together to apply heat in the furnace,

and the furnace temperature Rose higher than the last time.

Really? How many swords have been made?

Five swords altogether.

We've finished tempering them. They are ready for inspection.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

It's okay.

It can't be achieved in just one morning anyway.

All of you have worked hard.

How much lime powder did you add?

Altogether 6 geun.

Record everything carefully, with no omissions.

Adjust the amount and try again.

Yes.

Following your highness's instructions,

we added lime powder into the furnace together with the Clay

and the furnace temperature Rose.

How about the strength of the iron?

That...

How much lime powder was added?

6 geun was used.

Your highness, this is oo-tae.

Oh-yi! Oh-yi! Oh-yi!!!

I need to go somewhere now.

How come you're always going somewhere?

Hey! Oh-yi! Oh-yi!

Don't you think that oh-yi is a bit strange nowadays?

What's strange about him?

I can tell just by looking at his eyes.

From head to toe, nothing escapes my eyes.

It's just... strange.

But exactly what's strange?

Do you even know the meaning of strange?

I think your highness has been mistaken.

From what the slave traders told me, although they had deals with do-chi,

but he never sold a girl called bu-young to them.

Do-chi seems to be hatching another plot.

What are you doing?

Where's bu-young?

I told you she's been sold to the han nation slave traders!

Where's bu-young?

I don't know.

I really don't know anything besides that she was sold to the slave trader!

Where is she?

I will ask you one last time.

Where's bu-young?

Spare me! Spare me!

Who's there?

Your highness!

Your highness! Your highness! Your highness! Your highness...

Your highness...

I'm taking bu-young with me.

If you want compensation for her, tell do-chi to look for me.

Let's go.

Why are you all back so late?

His highness is looking for you guys. Hurry!

What for?

No idea.

Out so late at night, reeking of alcohol. What have they been up to...

Bu-young!

Bu-young!

But how did you come here?

Where did you find bu-young?

Do-chi tricked me.

She wasn't sold to any slave trader.

That guy, I gotta kill him!

I know I am late, but I kept my promise with you guys.

Hey, oh-yi. What's wrong with you?

You've been looking for bu-young all this time aren't you happy now?

I have to leave your highness now.

Oh-yi.

I don't deserve to serve you.

Hey, hey. Why are you talking about?

I gave in to do-chi. I betrayed your highness.

I told princes young-po and dae-so that your highness, together with the ironware workshop leader,

are trying to discover the secret to the puddling steel method.

Are... are you crazy? You must be crazy!

Hey you! How could you do this to us? How could you?

Brother!

Why are you doing this, your highness?

I should be the one seeking for forgiveness.

There were many things I could have done during the painful times you went through trying to save bu-young.

I don't deserve to be your elder brother.

Please don't go, oh-yi.

- Your highness! - Your highness!

What?

Please forgive me. I couldn't do anything about it.

You couldn't do anything?

You said you couldn't do anything?

You... no.

Killing you is not the most urgent thing at hand now.

If prince young-po knows about this, both of us are dead meat!

No matter what... no matter what, princes young-po and dae-so must never know about this!

Yes. But... how about oh-yi?

After prince ju-mong took bu-young with him,

that guy can't spy for us anymore.

Oh-yi? That's right. There's still that guy, oh-yi.

We don't have to worry about him.

He already betrayed prince ju-mong, what can he do now?

If prince ju-mong knows about the truth, oh-yi won't be let off easily.

We don't have to worry about oh-yi. No worries at all.

I heard that they found an important clue to discovering the puddling steel method.

Brother!

What do you mean?

Poh Kim

the three princes shall have...

A martial arts competition before us

what do you think?

Then do you know that...

Jumong broke the dae mool bow?

Is that true?

But why are you...

Telling me this now?

Now it's my turn to attack

if you win today

I'm sure your master will be very happy
