episode 53.

Prince dae-so's tyranny has gone overboard.

I know that, too.

Prince dae-so's madness has gotten worse since the eclipse.

He's ruthlessly killing innocent people as well as the officers.

A revolt might break out and perish buyeo.

Therefore, his majesty has decided to take the risk and get reinstated.

Then why did you bring an army here?

Prince dae-so gave me an army to get you, but I'm not here to fight the da-mul army.

I'm going to take over sachuldo.

I'm glad the da-mul army and the buyeo army do not have to fight anymore.

Is there anything I can do to help?

If his majesty gets reinstated, hyeon-to might send the han army.

I need the da-mul army to stop them.

I doubt hyeon-to has enough resources to send an army.

Even if they do, I'll take care of them.

They're going after the sachuldo, not the da-mul army?

Yes.

While general heuk-chi takes over sachuldo,

his majesty will take over the buyeo palace.

The da-mul army will block the han army if they try to get into buyeo.

Although hyeon-to knows that we took over joongsan,

they don't know that we've taken over the changchun tribe as well.

Select our elite men, and send them to changchun.

Disguise them as tribesmen

to guard changchun and joongsan from han's invasion.

Chugwan officer.

Check the messaging system between changchun and mt. Bon-gye

to see if everything's fine.

Yes, general.

Many tribes north of mt. Bon-gye are still under buyeo's influence.

If you give me an army, I can take them over.

They're very hostile towards buyeo right now

because prince dae-so demanded too much tribute from them.

I think we can take them over easily like we did with the changchun tribe.

We should focus our energy on stopping the han army.

We'll consider whether we should take over the tribes under buyeo later.

You seem to be disturbed.

Isn't it good news for general ju-mong if king geum-wa gets reinstated?

The buyeo army won't attack the da-mul army anymore.

He doesn't need to worry about lady yoo-hwa or lady ye soya anymore.

King geum-wa's reinstatement can be a hindrance to the da-mul army.

What do you mean?

Any news from general heuk-chi at mt. Bon-gye?

No.

Your royal highess, I feel uneasy about sending general heuk-chi.

General heuk-chi is loyal to his majesty, and he's on good terms with ju-mong.

That's why I sent general heuk-chi.

Ju-mong will also be reluctant to fight general heuk-chi.

But, what if general heuk-chi comes back without attacking ju-mong?

Don't worry.

The warriors who went with general heuk-chi are loyal to me.

If he doesn't do as I say, he will be killed on the spot.

I see.

I heard you were looking for me.

What are you doing?

General! What are you doing?

Put your weapons down.

I will kill you if you try to resist.

General!

This is treason!

Treason?

That's what prince dae-so and you guys did!

Put your swords down!

Your majesty.

You need to get reinstated again.

You're the only one who can save buyeo from darkness.

I will help you get reinstated.

If you want your power back, you need to do me a favor.

What's that?

First, you need to improve our relations with han.

You were too militaristic when it came to han.

That's why buyeo was always under the threat of war.

Get over hae mo-s...

Consider the safety of buyeo first.

Second, be firm on your standpoint regarding ju-mong.

Ju-mong escaped buyeo with the refugees.

He's an enemy of buyeo.

In order for you to get over hae mo-su, you must first let go of ju-mong.

Can you do that?

If you promise me these two, I will get your power back.

Welcome.

How do you feel?

Much better. Don't worry.

Soya...

Yes?

I heard that you're doing odd jobs around the palace with the maids.

It's nothing serious. Bear with me.

Everything will be over soon.

You'll pay sul-LAN back for the insult and humiliation she has given you.

Is something going on?

Just wait and see.

You still have work to do. Where were you?

Do you know that the buyeo soldiers have left to get ju-mong?

They will soon bring ju-mong to kill him in front of you and lady yoo-hwa.

Even if ju-mong dies, I won't kill you.

I will make you my servant, and make you feel how miserable it is to be alive.

Hao-chen.

Yes?

She shouldn't dress like someone important.

Take her accessories and clothes away.

Get her clothes that suit her status as a servant.

Yes.

Take her away.

Tax officer!

Did you get a letter from the prime minister, too?

Yes.

What does he want to say at this hour?

He even made us come to his home, not the palace.

Yes. Let's go inside.

The prime minister must've given you a pass when he asked you to come.

Show that to me.

Here you go.

- Escort them inside. - Yes.

Welcome.

What's the matter?

I have invited you here to discuss the future of buyeo.

As you all know, buyeo is in a serious situation.

Paying tributes to han will destroy buyeo's finances.

His royal highness dae-so's madness is beyond being tolerable.

If we keep this up, buyeo will perish, and history will remember us as sinners.

Do you have a way to get out of this mess?

There's only one way out.

Reinstate his majesty.

But his royal highness, dae-so, has all the power.

Is that possible?

His majesty doesn't even have an army.

What about the sachuldo, who are behind his royal highness?

General heuk-chi won't attack mt. Bon-gye.

He'll attack sachuldo.

While general heuk-chi is taking over the sachuldo leaders,

we must attack the royal bodyguard's headquarters and arrest his people.

If any of you wishes to oppose this, speak now.

Whoever opposes me is my enemy and will unavoidably have to die.

Who are you?

Aren't you chun-bul?

Let's get out of here.

Your majesty!

You've been through a lot.

Forgive me for making you concerned.

You and the warriors must take over the royal bodyguard's headquarters,

and arrest those who support dae-so.

Kill those who resist fervently, but try to arrest them alive.

Yes, your majesty!

- Let's go! - Yes.

Did you hear anything from general heuk-chi?

He's probably attacking sachuldo right now.

We're going inside.

If you move, you'll lose your head.

All the officers are greatly dissatisfied with his royal highness.

The foreign minister and the tax officer even talked about resigning.

And the people are...

Stop.

I know dae-so has been overly sensitive after the eclipse,

but he'll calm down when he gets ju-mong.

You should calm the officers down.

Sure.

Your majesty!

What's going on?

You're...

How dare you...

I need you to come with me.

He's taking too long.

Send a message to general heuk-chi and find out what's going on.

Yes, your royal highness.

You wretch...

What are you doing?

- Kill him! - Yes.

Put your sword down.

Your royal highness, I'll take them on.

Go to the bodyguard's headquarters.

We've already taken over the bodyguard's headquarters.

Put your sword down.

Prince! Prince!

What's the commotion?

I think there's trouble in the palace.

Trouble?

I think there's been a revolt in the palace.

A revolt?

Who started a revolt?

I don't know.

You should get out of here!

Where are my clothes?

Bring me my clothes!

I don't know where they are.

We have to get out of the palace.

- Your royal highness! - Dae-so!

Put him down!

You fools!

Do you think you'll make it out of here alive?

Who was it?

Who plotted this conspiracy?

It was me.

Father.

What do you mean a conspiracy?

I was only taking my rightful place.

Right.

No one would dare do such a thing except for you.

But you made a very foolish decision.

Do you think the sachuldo leaders will let you do this?

No, the head of the royal Garrison will be here with his soldiers.

Bring them in.

Prime minister...

General heuk-chi is probably taken control of sachuldo right now.

Forgive me, but face the facts.

How can you do this to me?

I couldn't just sit back and watch buyeo perish.

You're the one who made this mess.

Mother.

There's been a commotion in the palace.

Did you see soldiers?

Yes, I saw soldiers everywhere in a hurry.

I should go outside.

But it's dangerous.

It's okay.

I thought hard about what to do with you and the queen.

The officers want me to condemn you for this catastrophe in buyeo,

but I decided to forgive you.

Accept what happened, and repent what you've done.

Accept what? Repent what?

Dae-so was powerless when han threatened us for tributes.

He ruthlessly slaughtered the buyeo citizens.

Just be grateful that I didn't punish him with the national law.

That's not dae-so's fault!

Han is demanding tributes

because ju-mong stole and attacked han merchants and tributes.

Also, he didn't slaughter the citizens!

Dae-so killed those who insulted buyeo and the royal court.

Condemning them is not slaughtering.

Repent?

You should be the one repenting!

Put the queen in confinement at her chamber.

Yes, your majesty!

- Take her away. - Yes.

- Dae-so! - Mother!

Dae-so!

You sneaky little thing.

You talked his majesty into this.

Just wait and see.

You won't get me this easily.

I'm going to watch you die one of these days.

It's all over now.

Let it go.

I'll do whatever you say if you won't hurt my mother.

The people and the officers are very upset with you.

You'll need to stay in prison

until the buyeo palace and the people have calmed down.

Take him away.

Yes, your majesty.

Let's go.

Your majesty.

You have been through a lot.

You must've had a hard time enduring everything.

No, my hardships are nothing compared to your majesty's miseries.

It's all over now.

My lady.

We can now bring ju-mong back to buyeo...

Don't worry about anything.

Your majesty.

I can't believe this is how it has to end.

It's not over yet.

Uncle maga will save us.

But general heuk-chi probably took over sachuldo.

Uncle maga won't lose that easily.

He'll be back with his army.

Did you find anything out?

The world has changed overnight.

Give me the details.

King geum-wa led the revolt.

The queen is locked up in her chamber, and his royal highness is in prison.

What?

King geum-wa has all the power now.

I'm glad that happened to dae-so,

but I don't know what father will do to me.

But then again, I have nothing to do with dae-so anyway.

Right... father won't punish me.

Let's go back to the palace.

No, you came back with master chin.

I heard king geum-wa is hostile towards han.

He won't forgive you for coming back as a friend of han.

Yes... you're right.

Father thought of han as an enemy.

Then where am I supposed to go?

You should hide and see where this is going.

Congratulations your majesty for returning to power.

Congratulations.

Dae-so initiated a revolt while I was ill, and I let him represent me.

But buyeo went through misery while dae-so was in power.

That's why I made a decision, despite a possible war with sachuldo.

I will save buyeo from its misery.

Your majesty's favors are immeasurable.

But I do not wish to see any more bloodshed.

If there is any more blood left to shed, it will be shed for buyeo's pride and safety.

I won't hold anyone responsible anymore.

Do not be hostile towards each other.

Instead, assist me with all your hearts.

Your majesty's favors are immeasurable.

Your majesty.

General heuk-chi is back.

I, heuk-chi, am back after fulfilling your majesty's order.

Good job.

But, where's maga?

I tried to arrest him alive,

but I had no choice but to kill him because he resisted fervently.

Untie the ropes on the sachuldo leaders.

They are sinners who insulted your majesty.

Untie them.

- Untie them. - Yes.

It's a pity that the queen's uncle maga is dead.

I do not want any more bloodshed in buyeo.

If you'll join me, I'll guarantee your position and safety as sachuldo leaders.

The buyeo palace and the sachuldo are one body.

We should help, not be hostile towards each other.

I need the sachuldo's help more than ever.

Would you like to help me?

Your favors are immeasurable.

We will serve you wholeheartedly.

The sachuldo must never covet central power again.

In order to prevent this,

I will accredit an ambassador to take charge of the sachuldo military.

We will do as you say.

What happened?

Any news from sachuldo?

What are you doing?

Answer her now!

Your majesty.

Elder maga of sachuldo is dead.

What?

General heuk-chi took over sachuldo and arrested the leaders.

- Your majesty! - Your majesty!

Your majesty!

Since king geum-wa is back in power, buyeo and han will be hostile again.

Don't worry. That'll never happen.

King geum-wa took over the tribes under han's influence,

and attacked Jin-beon and yim-doon.

Do you think buyeo and han's relations will be improved?

Yes, if his majesty wishes to remain in power.

I will take care of everything.

You can trust me.

Second, be firm on your standpoint regarding ju-mong.

Ju-mong escaped buyeo with the refugees...

He's an enemy of buyeo.

In order for you to get over hae mo-su, you must first let go of ju-mong.

Can you do that?

General!

King geum-wa has taken over the buyeo palace.

General heuk-chi successfully killed maga and took over sachuldo.

What happened to dae-so?

Prince dae-so and the queen are locked up.

You don't have to worry about lady yoo-hwa and lady soya anymore.

Are you serious?

Yes, I just heard it from oh-yi.

That's great!

I feel so much better now.

I've been miserable ever since I left lady yoo-hwa and lady soya behind.

I can now have a peace of mind.

You should be happy. Why are you crying?

I thought I'll never see her again.

Just thinking about seeing her again...

What? Are you trying to go back to buyeo?!

No!

Mu-song, she's not going to leave tonight. What's the matter?

I said no!

What a nasty temper he has...

Biryu.

Come back soon.

My lady.

Are you okay?

Don't worry about me.

Did song-Yang stop you from managing the troop?

No.

Song-Yang didn't stop me because our business gives him much profit as well.

How are you going to do business without bodyguards?

I'm going to demand bodyguards from song-Yang.

Bear with me.

I'll save you.

Like you said, I'm willing to endure this for our future.

I just want our child to be born safely unto this world.

Our child will be the king of a united jolbon.

My lord.

King geum-wa is back in power.

What happened to prince dae-so?

He's in prison.

If that's true, this is a great opportunity for us.

Chief song-Yang's power will be weakened,

since he gets support from prince dae-so.

His power will be weakened, but we don't know if that'll be an opportunity for us.

Even if we have an opportunity, we're not ready to grasp it.

I'll go to buyeo and meet king geum-wa.

He will help us.

If king geum-wa is back in power, that's bad news.

Grand chief song-Yang has summoned a meeting.

You have to go to biryu.

I'm not going.

Mother and Yang-tak can go instead.

Chan-soo.

I'm not going to be your puppet anymore.

I'm going to join so seo-no and find a way to save gyehru.

What?

He's just a kid.

Don't worry.

We don't know what so seo-no will do about this.

I'll keep a watch on lady so seo-no and elder yeon ta-bal.

I think I can breathe now!

Forgive me.

I'm being a bad servant.

That's not your fault.

No one expected this.

Don't blame yourself.

Let's get going.

Sir!

That'll be three bronze coins.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any money.

I'll pay you back in a few more days.

Bye.

Are you guys crazy?

I can't trust you guys.

You wretch!

Do you know who I am?

Who are you?

I am prince young-po.

Young-po?

If you're young-po, then I'm dae-so!

Hey guys!

This pathetic fool says he's prince young-po.

What?

You should pick a better person to impersonate.

If you really are young-po, then I'm going to kill you.

Do you know how tough life is because of dae-so and young-po?

You pathetic fool!

Prince!

Get him!

Are you okay?

I can't believe I have to bear this humiliation.

I need to go back to the palace.

Even prince dae-so is locked up.

You'll be in danger.

Then how long must I endure this humiliation?

Prince!

I heard you were looking for me.

Have a seat.

Have you heard from young-po yet?

No.

The soldiers are looking for him.

He'll be back.

Prime minister.

Yes, your majesty.

I need to summon ju-mong back to the palace.

Your majesty, are you saying that you'll break your promise with me?

I know why you're being hostile towards ju-mong.

But bringing him back won't harm buyeo.

Then what about the da-mul army?

And the refugees?

I think someone's coming to the hideout.

Who's coming?

General heuk-chi of buyeo.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

I heard it was a success.

Lady yoo-hwa and her highness soya are both doing well.

Thank you.

His majesty wants us to bring you back.

Are you going to go?

I should. He sent someone to bring me.

General.

You are no longer a prince of buyeo.

You are the general of the da-mul army, and a future king.

You must sever all ties with buyeo and realize your dream.

Remember you should fear king geum-wa more than prince dae-so.

Hey!

Where are you going?

I heard prince ju-mong came back.

What?

Hurray for prince ju-mong!

Hurray! Hurray!

The world has changed. Now we can return in the middle of the day.

Isn't that the truth?

No! What is going on?

Ju-mong is back in buyeo?

How come the people are welcoming ju-mong?!

Ju-mong.

Mother.

His majesty'll request jumong to disband dae mool army...

And get him to settle in buyeo

it'll be good if jumong accepts his request...

And some back to buyer:

However, should he decline his offer

chief general shall finish him off

did you say finish him off'?

Do you want me to kill him'?

I can't abandon dae mool army

should I return to buyeo palace

these people will lose their hopes...

And not stay united

my father won't want to see this

neither do mother and I

I've decided not to return to buyeo

it's time for action
