Sir.

What is it?

Prince dae-so sent a letter to the chief of each clan.

He's inviting each clan chief to ju-mong's wedding.

Prince ju-mong is getting married?

Yes.

What should I say to miss?

Prince dae-so invited Yang-jeong of the han nation, and all chiefs of the surrounding clans.

Prince dae-so invited all the chiefs so he could display that the power is in his hands and not in his majesty's.

It's very clear that if we don't go he will cause us a problem.

So seo-no is pregnant, so oo-tae should go.

The chief of gyehru is so seo-no.

Tell all this to so seo-no.

Let her make the decision.

Yes.

You go on the merchandizing journey to ok-jeo.

This will be a very important journey for gyehru's future.

I know it will be difficult, but do your best.

Yes, chief.

Aunt, I want you, with chan-soo to take the other group to Chang'an, after entering hyeon-to city.

Our group was kicked out of hyeon-to city

you want me to go to hyeon-to city again?

Even to an enemy you can sell our goods.

That's a true salesman's attitude.

Chang'an and hyeon-to city are important areas for our group.

I'll grade you and chan-soo on your results.

If you fail,

you won't have a job here.

Go and do your work.

Miss!

Chief!

I will take care of everything here,

so go in and rest.

If you work too hard,

something might happen to you.

I am okay.

Don't worry.

How can I not worry?

You have a child that will grow up to lead gyehru.

I don't want to take a chance.

Go inside.

Go inside.

Go inside.

Are you worrying about something?

No.

I'll pour one glass.

My lady

prince ju-mong will have a wedding ceremony.

Prince dae-so invited the clan chiefs.

You should go as the chief of gyehru,

but you are pregnant

so I'll go.

I will go.

I don't want prince dae-so to think

that I didn't go using the excuse of pregnancy.

After I give my congratulations for the marriage,

I will cut off all my memories.

I'll go.

It upsets me that prince dae-so is using your wedding for political gain.

Even so,

it won't diminish the meaning of your wedding.

Ju-mong

yes.

To succeed your ambition, to build a country,

the road to your future will be difficult.

But,

even though it is difficult,

you cannot use this as an excuse to make yesoya unhappy.

I'll keep that in mind.

After you saved my ju-mong's life,

and came to buyeo,

you became like my daughter.

You don't need to show formal propriety and see me as a mother-in-law.

Think of me as your own mother.

I will do my best to be good to the prince and you.

Your majesty,

prince ju-mong is here.

Ah... let him in.

Sit down.

How are the wedding plans?

Dae-so is using my ceremony for his gain,

but he will trust me more afterwards.

All the humiliation and difficulties you experienced will be over soon.

It seems the moment you've been waiting for is almost here.

You got dae-so's trust,

but you cannot relax since you still have so much to do.

Yes, your majesty

after the wedding, take yesoya to mt. Jun-mu.

Hae mo-su was buried there.

I didn't Bury him. I left him there for the eagles to eat his body.

Hae mo-su left a will to be eaten by eagles and to fly over his old country.

That was his wish.

You won't see his remains,

but his spirit will be there.

Welcome.

It's been a long time.

Father.

Have you been well?

Congratulations on this celebration for buyeo.

Welcome.

I drink and drink, but I don't get drunk.

Same with me.

This is a happy day, so why do I feel so empty?

Did you see that so seo-no is here?

So seo-no, the way she looked…

- So seo-no's eyes... - Stop!

Don't talk about it.

Those two, what a terrible fate.

Did you call me?

His majesty told me that general hae mo-su is buried at mt. Jun-mu.

Lead me there.

What's wrong?

Your highness, kill me.

What is it?

After the funeral, the han nation cut off our salt.

Prince dae-so went to hyeon-to city.

Prince dae-so came back secretly.

Prince dae-so and na-ru threatened me to tell where general hae mo-su was buried.

Why did brother dae-so want to know that?

I was curious so I went there.

Say it.

Prince dae-so took general hae mo-su's head to Yang-jeong.

This resolved the salt problem, and he got his salt.

I gave in because of prince dae-so and na-ru's threat. I should die because of this crime.

Please kill me.

- I did not Bury him. - I left him there for the eagles to eat his body.

- Hae mo-su left a will to be eaten by eagles and to fly over his old country. - That was his wish.

You won't see his remains, but his spirit will be there.

Ju-mong.

I had this great ambition.

But, the promise I made to a woman, I couldn't keep.

You shouldn't live like that.

When you can't keep even one woman safe, how can you keep a country at peace?

Your mother...

Must be wise and beautiful.

You must protect her.

Father.

Father, you said you have good news for your son-in-law.

Tell us.

It's good news for buyeo but bad news for the han nation.

What is it?

Soon Jin-beon and yim-doon will merge with nak-lang.

Is that true?

Yes, it's all because of the war.

Jin-beon and yim-doon

don't have governors.

The people don't have a government.

The capital blames me for this.

The situation is difficult for me.

I'm sorry.

There is one way I can avoid the responsibility.

The joseon refugees who came to buyeo, from Jin-beon and yim-doon.

I'd like to send them to Chang'an as slaves.

As you promised, round up the refugees and send them to hyeon-to city right away.

These people have already settled in buyeo.

What would the people think of me if I sent them as slaves?

Please understand me.

If you gain one you should give one back.

My life is on it.

Drink it.

My lady, you should try to convince him one more time.

If I lose the people's heart, it would be terrible for my situation.

Your royal highness, I advise you to do what my father said.

To me, it's harder to gain the heart the han nation's king than the peoples' heart.

Because of this incident, if you gain the king of han nation's heart,

nothing would be more beneficial.

I wonder if dae-so will follow my will.

Don't worry,

I told him it's an opportunity to gain the heart of the han nation's king.

He seemed agreeable.

You will get your wish.

How is ju-mong?

He is loyal to dae-so I heard.

Yes.

Dae-so seems to trust ju-mong, but I don't.

Do you have a reason to not trust ju-mong?

Prince ju-mong

is not dae-so's real brother.

What are you saying?

Ju-mong is not king geum-wa's son

what?

Then, who is his father?

His real father is hae mo-s...

Your highness, it's na-ru.

Come in.

His royal highness wants to see you.

Did you call me?

Welcome.

Did you have a good dream last night?

I guess I was stressed with the ceremony.

I didn't have a dream.

Is that so?

Ju-mong.

Yes, your royal highness.

Yang-jeong

said he wants to send the refugees as slaves to the han nation.

I went against it but it's the han nation's king's request.

Jin-beon and yim-doon will be abolished because of the war.

If we don't send the refugees to them as slaves, they will get upset.

Then we might have to have another war with the han nation.

Please help me.

You will be in charge of separating the refugees from the people.

Is there any other way than to send them, the refugees?

Tell me if you have another solution.

The last war we had was to save those refugees.

Now if you send those refugees back, how many soldiers died in vain?

Since they settled in our country, they mixed well. It won't be easy to pick them out.

If you don't do it right, people will resent us.

I spent a great deal of time thinking about this but there is no other way.

If we refuse the han nation's request, our stable relationship will break apart.

I agree with you.

Prince ju-mong is in charge of separating the refugees from the people.

All of you help ju-mong as much as you can.

Yes, your royal highness.

Stupid boy!

He has no pride.

Your majesty, do we have to just watch?

If they do what the han nation requests, the war you had with the han nation will be for nothing.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but ju-mong will be in charge of picking out the refugees.

What did ju-mong say?

He agreed to do it.

Your majesty.

Did you want to see me?

Are you in charge of picking out the refugees?

It was brother dae-so's order.

Are you really going to do it?

Mother.

If I refuse, someone else will have to.

It won't stop sending the refugees to the han nation.

Trust me, I will take care of it and don't worry.

Are you really going to send the refugees to the han nation?!

You should save the refugees instead.

How can you do this?!

Say something!

Are you really going to do what dae-so says?

No!

You cannot do this!

The reason you got all the humiliation from dae-so over the years was because you had a plan to save the refugees.

If you do this, then we cannot serve you any longer.

Then, all of you leave me.

Your highness.

No, he's not the same master we served.

I'd rather die by the hands of han soldiers.

How can we send refugees to them?!

Hey, is it true?

Prince ju-mong will send the refugees to the han nation?

Yes.

Nonsense.

You have the wrong information.

It cannot be true.

It cannot be true!

Leader.

It's true even though it's hard to believe.

I too trusted our prince.

It seems he became the right arm to prince dae-so.

We are going to leave our prince.

Something is strange.

What is?

He's not going to do that.

If he made that decision, there must be another reason.

I know the reason.

It's very clear.

He is tired by now of all the things he had to go through.

His majesty protected him before, but now his majesty doesn't have power.

His beloved so seo-no is married to another man.

He lost all his ambition.

He is seeking an easy life now.

You idiot!

What do you think of our prince?

If that's not it, what's the problem?

Leader.

Your highness.

As you wish, we are leaving.

Thank you for everything.

Take care of yourselves.

Truly, he's so cold.

We're going to separate like this?

Don't cry you fool.

I feel a lot better.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing!

From now on,

we'll get the refugees that settled in buyeo.

You should be careful not to hurt buyeo people.

Complete this task quickly and efficiently.

Yes!

Let's go.

Yes.

Don't miss anyone.

Hurry!

Catch him.

Yes.

- Oh-yi! - Oh-yi!

Stop this.

Don't make commotion. Let's go.

Welcome.

You are working hard.

Under prince ju-mong's supervision, our task is going well.

How much progress did you make?

We got about 200 refugees.

Originally there were almost 1,000 refugees who came to buyeo.

Many went into the mountains.

Some already heard the news and ran out of buyeo.

It's impossible to gather them all.

How many do you think we can send to the han nation?

500 plus.

That's good enough.

I know it is a difficult task. Push harder.

You do this, then I will never forget it.

Yes, your royal highness.

It's been a long time.

Yes.

After so seo-no's and ju-mong's relationship ended,

I thought I would never see you again.

I thought that too.

But what brought you here?

What is it?

I...

Left buyeo.

Miss, it's sa-young.

Come in.

What is it?

Ju-mong is sending refugees to the han nation.

You are mistaken.

I heard it from hyeop-Bo, who left ju-mong to settle here.

Ju-mong had a war to save the refugees.

Isn't it strange that he would pick out the refugees and send them to the han nation?

It seems it's time for prince ju-mong to leave buyeo.

What does that have to do with the refugees going to the han nation?

So seo-no.

Yes.

Ju-mong is hae mo-su's son.

The han nation is the enemy of hae mo-su and ju-mong.

He won't send the refugees to the han.

He must have another plan.

He's going to live in gyehru, so please be kind to him.

I heard you are a strong man.

Yes, I am strong.

Then guard the journey of the merchants.

I'll do my best.

Your highness.

How could you do this to us?

Your highness, how could you think of sending us to the han nation as slaves?

General hae mo-su would be very upset.

Shut up!

Take them away.

Yes!

How's it going with the refugee matter?

Ju-mong is doing very well.

I heard that, but he changed so much that I feel uneasy.

Don't worry

he's very loyal to me.

I don't doubt him anymore.

It's fortunate that I didn't send him to the han nation as a hostage.

People resent the government about this matter but fortunately it's directed towards ju-mong.

Prince ju-mong acts as a shield for his royal highness.

Yes, ju-mong doesn't care about what people say.

He's working hard for me.

You don't need to doubt him any more.

Your majesty, ju-mong is here.

Come in.

Sit down.

You have a plan?

Yes.

Tell me.

I will leave buyeo with the refugees.

Is it possible?

Dae-so trusts me.

It won't be a difficult task.

Where would you go?

I haven't decided.

I'll find a place where dae-so can't reach me.

I'll establish a site and train an army that I will call da-mul army to be able to fight the han.

Your majesty.

Please help me.

I understand.

You gathered the refugees for this reason?

Yes.

Dae-so used his army to help me.

Mother, be ready to leave with me.

What's wrong?

How can I leave his majesty, who lost everything?

Mother,

if you stay here, dae-so won't protect you.

If you stay here, it will be very difficult for me to leave.

My lady.

I...

Will leave buyeo soon.

I'll take the refugees and not come back.

Does his majesty and mother know?

I told them.

We will also leave soon,

so you must be ready.

Odd.

Just a minute.

Even.

It's odd!

I'm very sorry.

You cheated.

Stop!

Leave.

I need to talk to you.

We have nothing to say to you.

Let's go.

Oh-yi, mari.

I need your help.

Truly, you're going to leave buyeo with the refugees.

I know you're very upset.

I didn't want you to do that dirty work.

Your highness.

If it's not too late, help me.

Without you, I cannot succeed.

With our stupidity, we didn't trust you.

I'm sorry.

Where is hyeop-Bo?

He went to gyehru.

We don't have much time, send a person to bring him back.

Yes.

Are you ready to leave?

I am gathering more refugees.

I will tell dae-so I will extradite the refugees, but once we're out of buyeo, we will go our own way.

Dae-so would give you that responsibility of extradition?

For this purpose, I've done everything that he's asked me.

He won't doubt me, so I hope he will accept my request.

Your majesty.

I have another thing to talk to you about.

Are you talking about lady yoo-hwa?

I'm sorry.

My mother wouldn't be able to tell you that she's leaving.

Forgive me to ask you this.

Take her with you and leave.

Did you call me?

Sit down.

Your majesty, you haven't completely recovered yet.

Try not to drink so much.

I am drinking lightly.

Don't be too hard on me.

My lady.

Yes.

We met a few decades ago.

You went through so much difficulty.

Your father and entire clan were killed.

You met hae mo-su 20 years after you thought he was dead.

Then soon after you had to give him a funeral.

Against the queen and dae-so, you had so much humiliation to keep ju-mong safe.

I can imagine how terrible it was for you.

Your majesty,

why are you suddenly talking of such things?

After you endured all those days, it's about time to live comfortably.

I couldn't do anything for you.

I became such a burden to you.

Your majesty.

I sent hae mo-su away, who was my lifelong friend.

I couldn't keep you and ju-mong very happy either.

Forgive me.

Leave buyeo with ju-mong.

Your majesty.

If you stay here, you will be in danger.

Your majesty, I can't leave you.

I'll stay with you and if I die, I'll die by your side.

My lady...

Ju-mong can't leave buyeo if you don't go with him.

Ju-mong has yesoya, his adopted brothers, and the refugees.

But if I leave you,

you have no one.

My lady.

I told you there must be something else.

At least he should have told us.

I resent that.

Understand it. It was so very important to keep it a secret.

Ok.

Mu-duek leaves too?

Fool.

Of course she does!

Where did he say he's going?

He did not tell us yet.

Why worry? I'm sure he has a plan.

Of course. He always has a plan.

You must get ready. We'll leave soon.

Don't worry.

I'll take the secret of the strong sword with me.

I was going to settle here,

but oh-yi and mari called me back.

Something must have happened.

Take care of yourself.

Yes.

Sa-yong, if it's not a big deal, then I'll come right back, so take care.

Go inside.

Set up a meeting of managers.

What's the matter?

Song-Yang wants us to pay tax to buyeo.

What do they want us to send?

200 horses, 500 rolls of silk, grain, and tiger fur.

Those bastards!

They want us to be destroyed?

It's impossible for us to gather all that with our situation.

He knows we can't get all that.

He must have another reason for us to do that.

He's looking for a way to destroy us.

He wants an excuse.

If that doesn't succeed, he will try to destroy us in another way.

Write song-Yang that we can't do this.

It's not wise to go against him.

First show we are getting ready, then see what he would say.

What song-Yang wants is for gyehru to merge with biryu.

Because we can't get these things ready, he can't ask us to merge with them.

He's targeting you.

Yeon che-ryeong and her crew are returning to gyehru.

With this opportunity, I will take so seo-no down from her position as chief.

Yeon che-ryeong's son, chan-soo, would then become chief.

Chief, I'll do as you ask.

Na-ru.

Yes, your highness.

You can stop gathering refugees.

Yes.

I heard you worked hard.

I only take orders from his royal highness.

My father would be very happy, too.

Once you had a war to save the refugees,

but now you are trying hard to send them to the han nation as slaves.

I'm curious as to what changed your mind.

It was dae-so's order and I followed it. That's all.

Hao-chen.

Yes.

It bothers me.

Watch prince ju-mong.

I understand.

Your royal highness.

Welcome.

We gathered all the refugees we could.

Good job.

Then we must get ready to send the refugees to hyeon-to city.

Your royal highness.

Say it.

I want to finish this matter.

Give me an order to extradite the refugees to hyeon-to city.

You worked hard.

I can give that job to na-ru so you can rest.

It's ok. I started and I want to finish it. I want to show you my loyalty.

If that's what you want, go ahead and do it.

Yes, your royal highness.

We are all ready

we can set off now

everything is done according to your highness's plan

there is a way to mobilise the troops

jumong, I won't leave

the three-legged bird...

Will not remain above the sky of buyeo

it must leave the sun of buyeo...

And soar towards...

A bigger world

jumong will be leaving buyeo...

To build a new nation

the place where the three-legged bird...

Rests to make its nest...

Will be where prince jumong builds a new nation

and that's the nation of the three-legged bird
