Brought to you by d-fansubs d r a m a f a n s u b s.

From this moment onwards,

your lady must not leave this place.

If by any chance, you act otherwise,

then I would have no other choice.

Do be careful.

- Let's go! - Yes!

My lady...

Don't you cry in front of me.

This humiliation and outrage,

I cannot stand it being covered in tears.

Leave the room.

Episode 35.

I heard you've placed yoo-hwa under house-arrest.

The officials might say something. Why did you have to do that?

I,

Only wanted to help vent mother's injustice.

Now you don't need to be troubled by lady yoo-hwa anymore.

Not that I don't know what you have in mind.

But among the officials and citizens there might be

talk that you're taking advantage of his majesty's unconsciousness to divide the royal family.

I'm worried about that...

Whatever they say, it all does not matter.

If anyone cannot understand mother's lamentations and gossips carelessly,

I absolutely will not forgive him.

Is everything going well?

Yes.

Prohibit all of lady yoo-hwa's movements, and let no one approach as well.

Yes, commander.

Do we have no other choice but to do nothing?

If so, then there's no point in staying within the palace anymore!

That's right.

Let's kill them all and rescue her lady out of the palace.

Once his majesty awakes, she can always return again.

Don't go about things rashly.

If prince dae-so gets hold of an excuse, he'll kill her lady without hesitation.

We must not give him any excuse to do so.

This is really -

what house-arrest?

Who exactly did such a thing?

It is prince dae-so.

Even lady yoo-hwa has been placed under house-arrest.

This indicates that all those who had affinity with king geum-wa,

will be eliminated.

Prince dae-so's power will also grow increasingly stronger.

In the near future, the repercussions might spread to the trade group.

How about you return to gyehru first?

My return to gyehru,

will only anger prince dae-so further.

So seo-no is right.

During the previous war,

since yeon ta-bal's trade group had chosen buyeo,

that means you've made han nation your enemy.

Now that prince dae-so and Yang-jeong's daughter are getting married,

the trade group and gyehru will become both han and buyeo's common enemy.

Song-Yang of biryu is spying on gyehru right now.

If I return back to gyehru to escape, the other clan leaders will look down on gyehru.

Right now we should remain in buyeo,

and ponder over our trade group and gyehru's future.

King geum-wa, has he any hope of regaining consciousness?

He is severely wounded, it might not be likely.

I should enter the palace again, and carry on treatment. I need to go back to the palace to treat him again,

but lady yoo-hwa is in confinement.

I'll think of a way.

The only way to stop prince dae-so's tyranny is for emperor geum-wa to recover.

Ma oo-ryeong!

What's wrong?

A mysterious energy is pressing on my heart right now.

I too have been heavy-hearted throughout the service.

What about you, hyun-moo?

Same here.

If we're all heavy-hearted,

that means there's a stronger energy than us in buyeo right now.

What kind of energy would that be?

I think yeo mi-eul is back in buyeo.

You mean yeo mi-eul is back in buyeo?

I'm not sure, but there's a big possibility.

Jong-go, are you outside?

Yes?

Bring young-po to me right now.

Yes, your highness.

Did you know that yeo mi-eul went to gyehru after she left buyeo?

That's what I've heard.

There's a possibility that she's back in buyeo right now.

She's probably here to see his majesty.

His majesty kicked yeo mi-eul out.

Why would she risk her life to come back to see his majesty?

You're saying that because you don't know the relationship

between yeo mi-eul and his majesty.

If she knows that he's in critical condition,

she'll try to heal him with her divine powers.

What do you want me to do?

If yeo mi-eul is back in buyeo for sure, you need to get rid of her.

Yeo mi-eul will harm buyeo's future.

Since dae-so is busy governing this country,

I want you to take care of her discreetiy.

Yes, mother.

Ouch, this stings!

Stop being a baby, will you?

You and your temper!

Supervisor, I'm so sorry.

You went through all that suffering because of me.

I didn't do it because I had hard feelings towards you.

I had no choice. The commander drew his sword at me!

You didn't do anything wrong.

Dae-so is the bastard!

Mo pal-mo!

Let go!

I'm not afraid of death anymore.

You can live as long as you want.

He'll kill you if you don't make a steel sword in five days!

Get moving!

Forget it.

Just consider me dead in five more days.

What are you talking about?

Just give it to him!

You have to save your life, right?

Just do as he says.

I'd rather die than give my steel sword to dae-so!

Is everything okay?

Yes.

We've surrounded yeon ta-bal's troop, but I don't think she'll come out anytime soon.

If you're sure she's with yeon ta-bal's troop, then why don't we just barge inside?

I'm trying to settle this discreetiy.

Wait, and get rid of her when she walks out.

Yes, your highness.

Let's go.

Are you ready?

I don't think you should go now.

We're being watched.

Sir.

What is it?

She left the troop.

Let's go.

Attack!

Let's go.

Well done. I'll escort her from here while you wait here.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Prince dae-so threatened to kill mo pal-mo

if he doesn't make a better sword than the han's in five days.

Judging from what he's been up to now, he'll do it.

We need to save mo pal-mo.

What did you just say?

Forgive me.

They've tricked me into losing yeo mi-eul.

Do you know where she went?

No.

You pathetic fool!

Let's go!

Damn...

How did it go?

You need to leave the palace now. I'll escort you.

Your highness.

What's the matter?

You should come outside right now.

Long time no see.

I once was afraid of that look in your eyes.

But now, I hold the key to your fate.

Only the gods are able to govern my fate.

The gods?

Did you expect me to be afraid if you bring the gods up?

I'm not the young-po you used to know.

You still seem like the same young-po to me.

You're pathetic and foolish.

If you kill me, dark clouds will hang over your fate for the rest of you life.

You can kill me if you can handle that.

You, silly little thing.

Do you expect me to be fooled by a threat like that?

You're not buyeo's high priestess anymore.

I have no reason to be afraid.

Put your sword down!

Dae-so.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, you see...

What brings you to the buyeo palace?

I came to heal his majesty because I heard he's in critical condition.

Leave us alone.

Dae-so, yeo mi-eul will harm buyeo's future.

We must kill her now!

I said, leave us alone!

You should go now too.

His majesty has kicked you out, yet you came all the way here to heal him.

Thank you.

If I knew your intentions ahead of time, I would've sent you an official invitation.

How is he doing?

Is there any hope for his recovery?

Even the royal physician and high priestess ma oo-ryeong have given up on him.

I can't guarantee you anything because his condition is too serious.

I'll provide you with a place to stay in the palace.

I want you to take care of his majesty.

I've already done all I can to save him.

It's time to leave his majesty's fate to the heavens.

I should go now.

When I was on the verge of death

after being stabbed by commander hae mo-su, you saved me.

I'll consider this as a payment of the indebtedness I owe you.

What?

Dae-so let yeo mi-eul go back alive.

You mean high priestess yeo mi-eul treated his majesty?

She treated him, but his majesty couldn't recover.

Really?

That's my dae-so.

What do you mean?

By letting yeo mi-eul go back alive,

dae-so has now done everything he can to save his majesty.

When the officers and the citizens of buyeo hear of this,

they will be touched by his sincerity.

What are you doing here?

We're taking mo pal-mo out of the iron workshop.

How? The guards are watching him day and night.

We'll take care of everything.

Just tell mo pal-mo that we're coming for him.

We'll be at the iron chamber tonight.

Mo pal-mo! Mo pal-mo!

So wait for them tonight!

Tell them not to waste their lives on me.

What are you talking about?

They'll take care of everything.

Just be prepared to meet them.

You should at least pretend you're working

if you don't want them to pay attention to you.

Start working.

Now!

What brings you here?

I'm here to see chief yeon ta-bal.

I heard you're the new commander of bodyguards.

Congratulations.

What brings you here?

Prince dae-so would like to see chief yeon ta-bal and miss so seo-no.

Get ready to go to the palace.

Very well.

Let's drink.

I heard you're substituting for his majesty.

Forgive me for not visiting you sooner.

Chief yeon ta-bal.

Yes, your highness.

I'm going to marry the hyeon-to city governor Yang-jeong's daughter soon.

Congratulations.

But we're only getting married for political reasons, not because I want to.

I'm sure you know that my heart is with so seo-no.

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

Your highness.

Should you and so seo-no refuse me,

I too will take back all the kindness I've shown you so far.

I will take back your right to trade on behalf of buyeo,

as well as removing the blacksmiths we've sent to gyehru.

The agreement between buyeo and gyehru was made by his majesty.

I don't approve of you demanding a marriage on that condition.

So seo-no.

How can an intelligent person like you not understand

where this situation is leading to?

I hold the key to everything.

Remember, you don't have any right or power to turn me down.

If you don't accept my proposal, I won't forgive you and the yeon ta-bal troop.

Although dae-so said he'll take away our right to trade

and withdraw the blacksmiths from our iron workshop, he won't stop there.

He'll threaten the entire gyehru afterwards.

What should we do?

My lord.

This is a letter from chief Yang-tak.

What does it say?

Song-Yang is secretly trying to gather all the chiefs.

All the tribes might unite to attack gyehru.

I can understand how reluctant you are about serving a man you don't like.

But the fate of gyehru is on the line.

Your beloved ju-mong is dead now.

So seo-no, stop being stubborn.

It's time to make a decision for gyehru.

I am now going to realize my father's great mission.

I will save the old chosun refugees and regain the lost land.

Miss.

It's time to get mo pal-mo out.

Got it.

Keep a close watch on him.

Yes, commander.

They're here.

We have to get out now.

Won't I be placing you guys in danger?

Don't worry about us.

We need to move fast.

Hurry!

Okay.

You must've gone through a lot.

You can go to gyehru.

We'll protect you there.

I may be putting you in danger, miss.

Don't worry.

Our troop bodyguards will escort you to gyehru.

Once they find out mo pal-mo is gone, I'll be in danger.

I'll follow him to gyehru.

You'll be in danger too.

Come with me.

We need to stay here and protect lady yoo-hwa.

Don't worry about us.

Take care of yourself.

We'll see you again when we get a chance.

Alright.

I'll see you later.

Forgive me.

Pathetic fools! What did I tell you?

Didn't I tell you to keep a strict watch on the iron workshop?

If mo pal-mo's techniques are really superior to han's, we must get him back!

We must get him by all means!

I'll do as you say.

Where did you take mo pal-mo to?

What are you talking about?

We were on duty here all along.

You're the only ones who can take mo pal-mo away.

Commander.

They really were on duty.

I saw them.

Search every corner of the city.

Yes, commander.

I need to go to hyeon-to city and bring sul-LAN.

Dae-so.

Yes?

I only you're getting married for political reasons, but once the wedding is over,

sul-LAN will be your wife and a citizen of buyeo.

Since she's coming all the way here for you,

don't break her heart like his majesty did to me.

Understand?

You can go now.

Lady, this is hao-chen.

Come in.

Prince dae-so is here.

Really?

Welcome, prince dae-so.

How have you been?

After hearing that you're in charge of governing buyeo,

there's nothing to be worried about.

Congratulations.

Welcome.

I've been doing well, but sul-LAN was in much agony.

She was waiting day and night for her future husband to come for her.

Father.

How is king geum-wa doing?

He's still in a critical state.

I feel bad for him, but that's what he gets for starting a reckless war.

Han suffered a great loss because of this war.

To save your face, I won't demand any direct reparations.

However, I need you to change the terms for the trade items.

I'll do as you say.

Also, many refugees who escaped Jin-beon and yim-doon are in buyeo right now,

send those refugees back.

But...

If you don't, I can't convince the royal court and the yo-dong army,

no matter how much I try.

I'll do as you say.

As long as the two of us are together, han and buyeo will never fight again.

Although I trust dae-so, I feel reluctant about sending you to buyeo

after fighting a war with them.

Don't worry about me.

I will be a queen who everyone in buyeo looks up to.

The buyeo citizens will honor and fear me at the same time.

Buyeo will fall into my hands.

Just wait and see.

I trust you.

You can write me a letter whenever you need help.

It's me, oo-tae.

Come in.

Oo-tae.

What is it?

I'd... like to marry you.

Miss.

Why are you doing this? How can I...

If you don't accept my proposal, I have to be prince dae-so's concubine.

You can just go back to gyehru.

Our troop and gyehru can live even after severing our relationship with buyeo.

Things are different now.

If prince dae-so marries Yang-jeong's daughter, buyeo and han will be allies.

That leaves gyehru isolated.

But if I'm already married, prince dae-so can't do anything to me.

Dae-so is in hyeon-to city right now to bring Yang-jeong's daughter back.

This is my only chance.

I know how sudden and absurd my proposal is.

But I don't have any time or way to make another decision.

Although prince ju-mong is the only person in my heart,

I guess he'll fade away in time.

I've trusted and depended on you ever since I was little.

Please understand me and accept my wishes.

I can do anything you ask me, even if that leads me to death.

I'm just afraid that I may not be qualified to be your man.

Why did you ask for a manger's meeting?

I have something to tell you, father.

I'm going to marry oo-tae.

So seo-no, what are you talking about?

You're marrying oo-tae? Why?

What's going on? Tell me!

If you'll allow me, I'll take miss so seo-no as my wife.

What?

What in the world are you talking about?

How dare you even think about marrying so seo-no!

My lord, he must be out of his mind!

Come outside! Right now!

Everyone be quiet.

Tell me why you want to do this.

Although prince dae-so threatened the troop and me,

I don't have the slightest desire to be his concubine.

Oo-tae understands me and has protected me all these years.

I know he will in the future as well.

I can understand why you decided to marry oo-tae,

but a marriage shouldn't be a hideout from reality!

Stop her, yeon ta-bal.

Being prince dae-so's concubine is a much smarter choice for our troop,

and gyehru's future.

What will prince dae-so do to us if he finds out that so seo-no married oo-tae?

Why are you so selfish?

Do you know why we're in this situation?

Come to think of it,

we're in this mess because you insisted on being buyeo's war supplier!

If you really care about gyehru and our troop, you must take prince dae-so in.

Aunt yun che-ryung.

Although gyehru and our troop are in a crisis, I will overcome it.

But not through marrying prince dae-so.

Please have faith in me.

Did you have to do that?

I wanted you to marry a nice and obedient girl, start a family,

and live happily ever after.

Miss so seo-no will be responsible for gyehru's fate.

You know she has one rough future ahead of her.

Why would you want to marry someone like her?

It's not too late to change your mind.

Father, I know you're very unhappy about my decision.

But I need to serve miss.

I'm just glad that she chose me to escape the crisis our troop and gyehru is in.

If miss has one rough future ahead of her,

then I'll have to stand by her side and protect her.

That's what makes me happy.

Why, oh why does this have to happen to me?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Say something.

I respect your decision.

That's the best decision for now.

It's just that...

Tell me.

I feel sorry for oo-tae.

Your heart is filled with prince ju-mong, yet oo-tae has to take you as his wife.

I feel sorry for his fate.

I'll forget ju-mong.

From now on, I'll adore oo-tae.

You can't forget a loved one by will.

I'll forget him.

I'll forget him completely.

What's the point in remembering someone who abandoned and left me?

I'll forget him.

I said, I'll forget him!

I'll forget him.

I heard you were looking for me.

Did you hear any news of emperor geum-wa's recovery?

No, I haven't.

Instead, I have news of so seo-no's wedding.

Who is she marrying?

She married oo-tae.

I think miss so seo-no will have a very perilous fate ahead of her.

What do you mean?

I saw darkness in oo-tae's face when I saw him.

Darkness?

I saw a shadow of death over him.

Where can I find the master of this sword?

This sword doesn't have a master!

Give that to me.

How about me?

Give it back!

Prince ju-mong is the only master for this sword.

I know how loyal you are to prince ju-mong,

but what's the use of serving a dead man?

You should leave the past behind and find a living person.

I think your new master may be miss so seo-no.

What do you think?

So seo-no.

Although she's a girl, you won't find a brave person like her.

I'm thinking about taking mu-duek out of buyeo

to live in gyehru for the rest of our lives.

You should think about that too.

Prince...

It's must've been a rough trip for you.

Although your wedding should be a national celebration,

we can't do that because his majesty is ill.

We'll have to replace that with an offering of prayer to the gods at the divination palace.

I hope you won't be too disappointed.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Since your highness's wedding is a national celebration,

I will release the prisoners and distribute grain and salt among the citizens.

Sure thing.

I feel obliged to tell you that you should release lady yoo-hwa from confinement.

It's time for you to govern the buyeo people through virtue.

I'll do as you say.

You're so loveiy.

Dae-so and buyeo are blessed to have someone dignified like you.

I'm still not as dignified as your highness.

You will be the next queen of buyeo.

Although you're unfamiliar with everything,

you need to diligently learn the customs of buyeo.

Yes, I will.

You need to make sure dae-so can rest peacefully after governing this nation.

Please try hard to keep the buyeo royal court peaceful at all times.

Remember, the welfare of the buyeo royal court is depending on you.

I'll keep your words in mind.

Your highness, is something troubling you?

I feel strange.

Dae-so's wedding should be a national and royal celebration.

I don't know why I feel so empty.

That's because you don't have a wife yet.

You fool, that's not why.

I'm not interested in women.

Then what are you interested in?

I once wanted to be the crown prince of buyeo,

but I don't think that's where I belong.

I suddenly lost my purpose in life.

That's why I feel empty.

I doubt you understand how I feel.

You can always make a new purpose in life.

There's no point.

I'm just bored with life.

I'm bored.

Your highness.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

You said you'll give me a chance after I've lost everything, right?

You never got back to me on that one.

You jerk!

I told you I'm bored with life!

Why would I bother myself with someone like you when I'm bored?

Just wait.

Your highness!

I can't believe I bet everything I had on someone like him. I must've been crazy.

Did you find mo pal-mo?

Forgive me, but we're still looking for him.

We have to find him before he passes his techniques onto some other tribe.

Yes, your highness.

Your highness.

What is it?

While you were away in hyeon-to city, miss so seo-no married oo-tae from her clan.

What?

- What's the matter? - Your highness.

Your confinement has been called off.

While you were being confined, prince dae-so married Yang-jeong's daughter.

I must go to his majesty's chamber.

What brings you here?

Did you really get married?

Yes.

You got married too.

Why not me?

You played a little trick to get away from me, didn't you?

Watch what you're saying.

I married him because I've trusted and depended on him for many years.

Shut up!

I told you what will happen if you turn me down!

Do you know how foolish your action is?

I also have told you that I won't take you in.

I'll show you the price you'll have to pay for mocking me.

Miss.

Don't worry.

Prince dae-so is at a position where he needs to consider the officers

and the people's opinions.

He can't harm us without a good reason.

How is he?

He still hasn't regained consciousness.

He hasn't gotten better at all?

He is breathing a bit easily, but that's not enough to jump to conclusions.

Is something troubling you?

Not at all.

Why would I be troubled on a joyful day like this?

You seem to be working hard to substitute for his majesty.

I consider it a learning experience to be the next emperor.

I want to make buyeo a powerful nation.

You can only reign in peace when your nation is strong.

I also hope to help you become the emperor of a strong buyeo.

I'm now your woman, and a citizen of buyeo.

Thank you.

Your majesty, we should get up now.

Your majesty!

Your majesty!

Your highness.

All the officers are amazed by prince dae-so.

Prince dae-so will be a sage ruler of buyeo.

Of course he'll be a sage ruler.

Young-po, is something bothering you?

Nothing.

You should soon find a good woman to be your bride.

I really like sul-LAN.

Your highness!

What's the matter?

His majesty has regained consciousness.

Really?

Yes, your highness.

Your highness, this is na-ru.

I have something important to tell you.

What's the matter?

Your highness, you need to go to his majesty's chamber.

His majesty is awake.

Yeo mi-eul

what's the matter?

I can see the disappeared three-legged bird again.

Where are you going'?

Where can I go to save prince jumong

I want to see jumong

he is missing in action

no one knows if he is still alive

if I stop at this stage, I will be finished

prime minister, please help me

now.

I want everything to resume its original place

chief general

how many soldiers can we mobilise discreetly'?

They must be here to kill me

the sachuldo troops...

Must rush in to reinforce the palace

get ready to go!

We should head toward the palace of buyeo

you're the one who wants to usurp my power...

While I'm sick in bed

what do you want?

You want my life?
