Episode 55.

Prince!

What?

Are you serious?

Yes.

He's locked up because he refused to disband the da-mul army.

Father imprisoned ju-mong?

I can't believe it.

Not unless I see it with my own eyes.

Is ju-mong really locked up in prison?

Yes.

I must go and see him.

Forgive me, but the prime minister ordered me not to let anyone in.

You wretch!

Get out of my way!

How dare you stop me to obey the prime minister's order!

Do you want to die or something?

Out of my way!

Your highness.

You shouldn't go inside.

Prime minister.

What's going on?

Did father really lock up ju-mong?

Yes.

Why?

Because he is an enemy of buyeo.

If your highness talk to ju-mong,

you also may be accused of sharing information with an enemy.

Your highness, let's go.

Let no one go inside, even prince young-po, without my permission.

Understand?!

Yes.

This was a plot to kill you from the beginning.

Did his majesty really try to kill the general?

Then what?

Disbanding the da-mul army doesn't make any sense!

He knew the general would say no.

I can't trust anyone anymore, not even his majesty and general heuk-chi!

Calm down. There's no point in getting all worked up.

Let's try to find a way out.

We're all going to die!

How can I calm down?!

Minster of the right!

Why don't you use that brain of yours and say something?

Stop it!

Shut up and sit down!

General, what should we do?

I was wrong.

His majesty only has half of the power right now.

The prime minister has the other half.

The prime minister has been controlling and pressuring his majesty.

I didn't realize that earlier.

We must first think of a way out.

We're locked up without any arms.

How are we going to get out?

These are poison stingers.

I can kill about three guards.

We must take action after we check how things are going.

Thank goodness ju-mong is in jail.

I don't know what his majesty wants.

I don't know which tune to dance to.

Your majesty.

Why don't you talk to the prime minister?

Why would I want to talk to that cunning fellow?

He's only using people for his benefit.

I don't want to associate with someone like him.

I'm not using people for my benefit.

I only took action for buyeo.

I'm very disappointed to hear that from your majesty.

I'm not the one betrayed you.

You and his royal highness dae-so are the ones who betrayed me.

We betrayed you?

That's absurd!

When I sided with his royal highness, I wanted him to govern this nation well.

But his royal highness wasted our resources on getting ju-mong.

He worsened our relationship with han,

and made the people angry by merciless slaughter.

As a loyal subject of buyeo, I can't let him do that.

It's also prime minister's fault that dae-so turned out that way!

This wouldn't have happened if prime minister were a good aide to dae-so!

This is not the time to point fingers your majesty.

His majesty wanted to condemn you and the court minister,

but I asked him to release you of your confinement.

Did his majesty consent to that?

Yes.

You don't need to be locked up here anymore.

But keep this in mind.

You should refrain yourself until peace is restored

and his majesty forgives his royal highness.

Bye then.

At least we're not in confinement anymore.

Just wait and see.

Once dae-so is back in power, the prime minister will be the first one to go.

Let's go see dae-so. Lead the way.

- Yes. - Yes, your highness.

Dae-so.

Mother.

Just look at you...

Just like they let us go, they will let you go too.

Just be patient for a little while.

This time of shame that I spend in here, will be like medicine for me.

Don't worry about me.

What do you think you're doing?!

I thought you were going on a business trip to heng-in. Why'd you go to buyeo?

Now that dae-so has lost his power to king geum-wa,

weren't you trying to side with him?

I won't forgive you just because you're my brother.

Manager Yang-tak.

Yes, miss.

Lock yeon ta-bal up in his chamber.

Don't just stand there!

- Escort him inside. - Yes.

Stand back!

Although you've forsaken reason because you were blinded by power,

I've forgiven you in my heart.

But from now on, I'm going to forget the fact that we're from the same parents.

Keep this in mind.

Power is like grains of sand.

The more you grab it, the more it leaves your hand.

I can clearly see the grains falling out of your hand.

After all the grains are gone,

I wonder how you'll treat me when you're empty-handed?

Listen to my word carefully. If you anger me again, I won't forgive you.

From now on, be careful of your actions because you will have to answer to me.

So seo-no, I'd like to apologize on behalf of my mother.

It's not your fault.

I understand your position, so don't worry.

Miss, now that the lord has been confined, we can't do anything.

We're cornered.

I will send someone to seek help from general ju-mong in buyeo.

We should at least get oo-tae out of biryu.

Even if you send someone, he won't get to meet general ju-mong.

What do you mean?

General ju-mong is in the buyeo prison right now.

He declined king geum-wa's request to disband the da-mul army

and to come back to buyeo.

General ju-mong's fate is just as insecure as gyehru.

Sa-yong.

Yes?

Since my father and I are being watched,

I need you to continue building the palace and train mercenaries.

Make sure you never stop doing that.

I understand.

- Your majesty. - The da-mul army were your fellow men.

Please don't forsake them.

As long as I'm alive,

building a new nation with the da-mul army is treason towards buyeo and me.

I'm trying to attack the han.

How can that be treason?

Commander hae mo-su will be mourning from heaven right now, your majesty!

Your majesty.

Lady yoo-hwa and her highness ye soya are here right now.

Tell them that I don't want to see them right now.

Forgive me for saying this, but he does not wish to see you right now.

Can you ask him one more time?

I don't think he'll change his mind.

How do you feel after being betrayed by your trustworthy majesty?

I trust that his majesty will make a wise decision.

A wise decision?

You still don't understand, do you?

You might think his majesty will protect ju-mong, but you're wrong.

His majesty knew that dae-so killed hae mo-su and gave the head to the han,

yet he didn't punish dae-so.

Why do you think dae-so wasn't killed for taking his majesty's power away?

He's attached to his own child.

Although he doesn't show it, his majesty is very attached to his own child.

His majesty will choose dae-so, not ju-mong.

Just wait and see.

Mother, what if the queen is right?

I'm scared of his majesty now.

The queen was cursing us because she was cornered.

Don't worry.

What's taking him so long?

Leader. Leader. Leader.

Did you find a way to meet the general?

We're in deep trouble!

What trouble?

No way.

No way!

Do you think I'm kidding right now?

The general is about to be executed.

What should we do?

I better go to the buyeo palace.

Are you crazy?

If you get arrested, you'll get killed.

What's the use of living if general ju-mong gets executed?

Life will be meaningless.

Life will be meaningless.

Are you sure about this?

Yes, I am!

Wait.

Bok-man!

Mu-song?

Send ju-mong to the han.

I came here with your highness in order to get ju-mong and settle the tribute issue.

How long must I wait?

I can't stay here forever.

If I go back without ju-mong, that'll put me in a tough spot.

I don't know if his majesty will approve of that.

Then you better start convincing him!

If this issue doesn't get settled, I can't help you anymore.

Your highness.

What's there to think about?

This is a great opportunity for you.

An opportunity?

Think about it.

Ju-mong is a problem for buyeo.

If you send him to the han, buyeo will be free from its problem,

and the relationship with the han will be restored.

The officers and his majesty will acknowledge your highness.

He'll acknowledge me?

Although his majesty favored ju-mong,

I guess that'll all be in the past since he's locked up.

Now is the time for your highness to take action.

Prime minister.

What brings you here?

I have something to discuss with you.

Pass.

General.

Brother!

Be quiet.

Bok-man, now.

Mu-song.

How'd you get in here?

I put my life on the line to tell general something.

Mo pal-mo is waiting outside.

What's wrong?

Yeo mi-eul is missing.

Missing?

I don't know who did it,

but someone broke into the hideout and kidnapped yeo mi-eul.

I'm sure it was buyeo.

Did anything else happen at the hideout?

No.

Mu-song.

Yes?

Get out of here immediately, and go to mt. Bon-gye with mo pal-mo.

If something happens to mo pal-mo, that'll be a great loss for the da-mul army.

Mu-song, strengthen the security in the gorge

and make sure the da-mul army and the refugees are safe.

Yes.

What's going to happen to general now?

Don't worry.

Mu-song, I'll go back to mt. Bon-gye, no matter what it takes.

Now that dae-so is locked up, all we have to do is approach father.

His majesty will definitely honor your request to meet him.

Brother dae-so is gone and so will ju-mong.

I'm the only one left.

His majesty is looking for you.

Good, I was going to visit his majesty anyways.

Let's go.

I heard you were looking for me.

Young-po.

Yes, father.

I heard you and the officers were looking for a way to send ju-mong to the han.

Yes, father.

I suggested sending ju-mong to the han in order to ease your troubles

and strengthen our relationship with the han.

You wretch!

Father...

Your name is master chin, right?

Yes.

What are you doing in the buyeo palace?

Go back.

I'm here in order to carry out the emperor's orders,

to collect the tributes demanded by the han, and to take ju-mong.

Why are you telling me to leave when I still don't have what I need?

Father...

Buyeo is not a subject state of the han.

How dare you talk about tributes?!

Likewise, ju-mong is buyeo's problem.

I'll decide whether I'll kill him or not.

If you don't leave right now, I'm going to chop your head off.

I understand.

Father.

Master chin is the most powerful man of Chang'an.

How can you be so rude to him?

You wretch!

You've filled your head with nothing but rubbish in Chang'an.

Is your loyalty with the han or buyeo?!

Father...

I've been wrong.

Forgive me.

I will give you a job.

Go to the war horse training field right now.

Go clean the stable manure and get those remnants of the han out of your head!

Father...

How did it go?

Prince.

You idiot! Because of you, I have to clean the horse stables.

Prince.

It's my fault that yeo mi-eul was kidnapped.

I should've left one of you guys at the hideout to take leadership.

Who knew king geum-wa would change like this?

This is our fault for not suggesting this to you sooner.

If they took yeo mi-eul away,

that means they can attack mt. Bon-gye while we're gone.

We have to get out of here.

Muk-guh.

Yes?

We're leaving this prison tonight.

Get ready.

Yes.

Yeo mi-eul.

What's going on?

The prime minister has asked to escort her to the divination palace.

We will be guarding the divination palace.

Don't even think about running away.

Please have a seat.

What's wrong?

Why did you come to buyeo?

I didn't come because I wanted to. I was forced to.

What happened to ju-mong in buyeo?

He is now in prision.

So, what's going to happen to ju-mong?

Because he didn't accept his majesty's command, he should die.

It's not an easy decision.

Ju-mong is considered very special to his majesty.

For now we should give his majesty a chance to deal with this, but it will be difficult if ju-mong's will isn't broken.

What's going on?

I took care of the task you gave me.

Didn't I tell you to give me time to think?

I didn't come here because of ju-mong.

Your majesty, we have captured yeo mi-eul.

The reason ju-mong breaks all the rules is because of yeo mi-eul.

The reason ju-mong wants to start a new nation with the da-mul army, is because of yeo mi-eul.

Where is yeo mi-eul now?

- Make sure no one is allowed to go near the divination palace. - Yes!

Priestess ma oo-ryeong, can you leave us alone for a moment?

Long time no see.

I don't know why I can't get away from you.

Ju-mong's life is in your hands.

Tell ju-mong to disband the da-mul army and come back to buyeo.

If you do, I will not harm anyone.

I will give everything to ju-mong.

I will invest ju-mong as the crown prince

so that there will be no more bloodshed in the buyeo palace.

Your majesty.

Stop lying to yourself.

Your majesty won't lay down your lust for power until the day you die.

You sound like you mean it right now,

but your majesty will drive him out if he becomes a threat to your power.

Yeo mi-eul.

Even at the moment of your majesty's lifelong friend hae mo-su's death,

all you did was go after your power and safety.

How can I be sure that you're going to give your power to hae mo-su's son?

General ju-mong will establish a new nation with the da-mul army.

That's what commander hae mo-su wants,

and the fate of general ju-mong, invested by the gods.

Is anyone outside?

Bring prince ju-mong to us.

Yes.

Let me repeat myself.

Tell ju-mong to disband the da-mul army.

If you don't, both you and ju-mong will be dead.

Yeo mi-eul...

Did you kidnap yeo mi-eul after summoning me to buyeo?

His majesty had nothing to do with it. It was me.

How can you be so dirty?

Disbanding the da-mul army is my problem. Why'd you kidnap yeo mi-eul?

I think you became buyeo's enemy because of yeo mi-eul.

I'm sure yeo mi-eul talked you into leaving buyeo to establish a new nation.

Therefore, yeo mi-eul is the only one who can convince you.

Shut up!

Establishing a new nation with the da-mul army was my father's dream.

I'm destined to succeed his dream!

There can only be one sun in the sky!

Leaving buyeo to establish a new nation, means you're going to be buyeo's enemy!

General.

Don't let him persuade you.

You saw the eclipse.

The buyeo sun has disappeared!

Shut up, priestess yeo mi-eul!

The gods will not forsake you and the da-mul army!

You must not give into any threat or appeasement!

Prime minister!

I can't let anyone live after denying the buyeo sun!

Put your sword down!

Your majesty!

I said put your sword down!

Yeo mi-eul! Yeo mi-eul!

Yeo mi-eul!

I'm glad I can finally meet commander hae mo-su and ask him for forgiveness.

My soul will stay in your nation and protect the three-legged bird.

Yeo mi-eul!

Your majesty...

Yeo mi-eul...

Even after leaving buyeo,

I couldn't let go of my love and hatred for you, deep down in my heart.

Yeo mi-eul!

Yeo mi-eul!

Yeo mi-eul!

Yeo mi-eul!

Yeo mi-eul!

Yeo mi-eul...

What did hae mo-su do to you?

What kind of punishment did you give to the person who killed hae mo-su?

You didn't do anything!

I was the one who put him in jail,

but you are the one that killed him because of your feelings for lady yoo-hwa.

Shut up!

If you say anything more, I will kill you.

By killing me, who knows the truth, your faults will always be covered.

Don't spare me. Just kill me.

Even after I left buyeo,

I couldn't let go of my love and hatred for you, deep down in my heart.

Your majesty, do not hesitate any longer.

Your majesty, please make a decision!

Make a decision!

No matter how much you contemplate over it,

you can't save both buyeo and ju-mong.

If your majesty can't do it, then I will!

Mari.

Yes?

It's time to get out of here.

I heard you were looking for me.

We need to kill ju-mong.

Make sure his majesty doesn't find out.

Follow me!

What's going on?

Prince, I'm a subject of buyeo.

Forgive me.

Get them!

Stop!

Chief general.

Step aside.

Your majesty...

If you want to kill ju-mong, then kill me first.

Retreat.

Go.

From now on, I'm severing my ties with you.

Your majesty.

I will take care of lady yoo-hwa and ye soya.

I will send them to you when it's the right time.

Now go.

Let's go.

They're here.

Have a seat.

Ju-mong has left buyeo.

Your majesty, thank you.

Thank you.

Although I let ju-mong live,

he will be buyeo's enemy as long as he wants to build a new nation.

I've severed my ties with ju-mong.

Your existence will stop ju-mong and buyeo from seeing the worst of each other.

I will let you go to be with ju-mong when it's the right time.

We're in trouble, prime minister.

Someone has opened the prison gates and let ju-mong escape.

Did you send an army to go after him?

We did, but they're already gone.

Was it your majesty?

Did your majesty let ju-mong escape?

Yes.

Don't you remember the promise you made me?

I said I'll abandon ju-mong, but I never said that I'm going to kill him.

Like I promised, I have forsaken ju-mong and severed my ties with him.

Your majesty!

Don't mention ju-mong in front of me again.

Just wait and see.

One of these days, you'll regret that you didn't kill ju-mong today.

General, I'm glad you're back safe and sound.

Did you tighten the security in the gorge?

Yes.

We're going to offer a heavenly rite for yeo mi-eul.

Gather the da-mul army and the refugees.

Yes.

Everyone gather around.

What happened to yeo mi-eul?

Yeo mi-eul.

Even from the heavens, yeo mi-eul will always be with the da-mul army.

Get ready to leave the city immediately with sul-LAN.

Where do you want us to go?

I'm going to make you the commander of the eastern frontier Garrison.

Your majesty, why don't you just kill me?

Go and get rid of your lust and obsession for power.

If you can be free from that, then I will give you everything I have.

Mother, please stay healthy.

Please stay healthy.

I'm not going to cry.

I'm not going to be weak, by all means.

So you must sharpen your dagger until it is ready for revenge.

You must carry on spitefully

until the day you can drive a dagger down on your enemy.

Eastern frontier Garrison.

Is this where we have to live?

How long are you going to suffer this humiliation?

My dagger of revenge is very dull right now.

I'm going to stay here until it is sharp like my mother said.

You should get ready for this.

You wretch!

Wake up!

Who are you?

This is his royal highness dae-so, commander of the frontier Garrison.

Who's the person in charge?

That would be me.

I will behead anyone who drinks and womanizes in my territory!

Forgive us. We'll serve you with all of our hearts.

We lost yeo mi-eul, who has been our guide.

Although this is a tragedy, we don't have time to be smothered in sadness.

Like we experienced in buyeo, no hardships can discourage our mission.

The hardship and the pain will only motivate us to unite the tribes

and nations under the han and buyeo's influence.

Establishing a new nation with the da-mul army is the only way

to honor yeo mi-eul's will.

Hurray for the da-mul army!

Hurray!

Hurray!

I'm leaving keru for the time being

please take good care of the two children

there are not a lot of enemy soldiers.

I saw yeo mi-eul

songyang, you scoundrel!

This place shall be your burial ground.

I'm here...

To provide the captain with some support...

To establish a new nation

wootae

if you want to establish a new nation

you have to source for new land

yeo mi-eul said the three-legged bird is looking for a new nest

captain can come to cholbon.

I can provide you with support...

To establish a new nation
