Original subtitles

Our great king, before he passed away told me,

the next king will not be the second son Geum Ryun, but

the first of the Crown Prince Dong Ryun, the grandson of the Great King JinHeung, Prince PaekJeong.

He is Our Majesty!!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

How can that be?

I'm sure that's not true!

I said hurry!

No, I understand. I'm sorry.

I get easily scared, Your Highness.

That's right. I'm sorry.

You are fifteen years younger than MiShil. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything to Lady Maya

just to marry you.

She's more than capable of doing that.

I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure she's doing fine at her parent's house, My Prince.

Now I will become the queen of Prince PaekJeong.

Are you concerned that I will become another man's wife again?

The Great King JinHeung told me that

Lady Mishil is not someone that can belong to just one man.

I am just lamenting the fact that I am neither a king nor royalty.

Sir SeolWon is here.

My Lady,

Prince PaekJeong has disappeared.

What about Maya?

I already took care of her.

Find PaekJeong.

Without Prince PaekJeong, the Hwarangs and the Hwabaeks will not side with us.

I understand, My Lady.

Maya, please stay alive. Please! Please!

It's MunNo.

There's nothing we can do. Kill him!

You know I'm a Hwarang Chief and you dare hold your swords up against me?

You are brave.

You think a hundred of you can dare oppose me?

Drop your swords!

Drop it!

I will cut her!

Drop your sword!

Your Majesty, where are you headed to?

I must go to Maya's parent's house.

I will go instead of you, Your Majesty.

I said I will go for a visit briefly so why are you stopping me? Stand aside!

He doesn't have anything.

The sin of killing the lady and the Chief,

I will pay for it in hell.

Your Majesty, you must appoint a Byeong Bu Ryeong.

Kim HuJik, Su WonGun, Hwa Mun are being discussed as potential candidates.

Kim HuJik is the great grandson of JiJin,

and so I think he will be able to carry out his duties quite well.

Please do so.

Next, you must have a separate department for foreign policy, and

Please do so.

The next agenda is

That also...please do so.

Your Majesty,

It's about the national marriage.

Your Majesty, already six months have passed.

Although it's heartbreaking that Lady Maya has disappeared due to an unknown circumstances,

We cannot leave the seat of the queen empty for too long.

That is so, Your Majesty.

According to the laws of our sacred nation, we will decide on the national marriage during the Hwabaek meeting at the end of this month.

Please do so.

Do everything as you wish!

Now, I hope it will protect you and the baby.

I understand. I will certainly do so.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Minister EulJe!

Minister EulJe,

Your Majesty, I have returned to the palace again.

Welcome back. Thank you.

Your Majesty, I regret that I had to be away from you.

No, please don't say that.

Of the ten members of the Hwabaek council, there's no problem with nine of them.

The problem is EulJe.

For what purpose have you allowed EulJe to return to the palace?

It's done!

You need not worry.

EulJe is also not a problem.

Did the talk go well?

Yes, he's a seasoned pro, so he seemed to understand very quickly.

Really? He is not an easy person. What did you do?

I said that he may return to Sorabol and be at the king's side.

EulJe must agree to the national marriage for us to have a justification.

But leaving EulJe by his majesty's side is

The circumstances are different from four years ago.

There's nothing for us to fear.

Since His Majesty is lonely, he is becoming even more confrontational.

Ha ha, sister, are you already looking after your husband? Ha ha

My dear brother,

My apologies.

Anyway, the Hwabaek meeting this time should be held in private and be finished quickly.

That is not a good method....

What do you mean not good?

The best method for this issue is to invite all nobles and chiefs of Seorabeol to attend this meeting, and

also have His Majesty attend it as well.

Why would you create such a fuss?

Make everyone our accomplices, and

also reveal to everyone that everyone conspired together.

We show our strength to His Majesty and also make sure that others do not think to do anything different.

You, My Lady, will be recognized publicly, and so we'll kill three birds with one stone.

Really, no one can scheme like you.

And so, My Lady,

Hold a public Hwabaek meeting.

I am deeply grateful that we will be holding a public Hwabaek meeting with you, Your Majesty.

Of course, any man would be like so.

What man would want to marry a woman who's like his aunt?

Even I would be running far, far away.

Although she's my sister, she's completely hopeless.

Even when she's sixty, she'll be like that until she becomes a queen and give birth to a crown prince.

Just accept it and think, 'Yes, I'll let you have a crown prince.'

If you do that, then I'll take care of getting other women for you to have.

That is also the beauty of living in this world! Oh yes!

[The Hwabaek Council: A meeting of Shilla nobility. Discussions of national import took place at these meetings.]

His Majesty is late.

Maybe he is not going to come at all.

This is a public Hwabaek council, so that would be difficult for His Majesty to do so.

Anyway, it's really difficult to establish a new queen for His Majesty.

That's right.

His Majesty has arrived!

Draw open the tent!

We will now begin the Hwabaek council with you in attendance, Your Majesty.

Lady MiShil has served our kings from the Great King JinHeung's period.

If we were to follow the tradition and the law of our sacred nation,

when the Great King JinHeung passed away, Lady MiShil should've gone into a Buddhist monastery...

So, if she is intending to become a queen, that is against our laws.

But when the Great King JinHeung passed away,

Lady MiShil stabilized the inner and outer policies of our sacred nation, and

ended the chaos. That is her accomplishment.

But of course.

Also, the Great King JinHeung gave the title of Wonhwa and Saeju to Lady MiShil to build up our nation....

So, she should now carry on the accomplishments of our great king...

In addition, since the Lady has served our previous kings,

she probably knows better than anyone else what it means to serve a king.

She is fully qualified to be a queen.

What's more, His Majesty has already resolved to do this.

That is so. This is also what His Majesty wishes.

There are more than enough reasons.

Bring the markers.

Let us tell His Majesty our wishes.

As you know, a Hwabaek vote must be unanimous.

If even one person opposes, until we obtain a unanimous vote, our debate for this will continue.

If you oppose the vote, then simply toss the bamboo marker placed before you to the front.

Then, it's been decided!

Halt!

Halt!

Your Majesty!

Chief!

It's been a long time, Chief.

However, if you are not a member, you cannot speak at the Hwabaek council.

You may be a chief, but how dare you commit such insolence!

All of you, stand up!

The Queen has arrived!

Maya!

Maya!

Your Highness!

Maya!

Maya!

You are alive. Thank you!

I really thank you.

Lady Maya, what happened?

I was heading for my birth home, and I was attacked by unknown men.

Who dared do something like that?

I tried to find out with Sir MunNo, but

we could not find them.

I fell into the sea with Sir MunNo, my hands and feet bound.

Chief, you rescued Maya, thank you.

No, I did not do that, Your Majesty.

You rescued us.

What do you mean?

We were able to cut the rope with this knife.

This, this has protected you?

Not only me, Your Majesty.

it protected our baby.

It protected your child, a royalty!

Our baby is alive?

It rescued our baby?

Your Majesty!

How can this be?

How can this be?

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you, My Queen!

Hail to Our King! Hail to Our Queen!

Long live the King! Long live the Queen!

I thank all of you.

I can't believe it. I really cannot believe it.

I really thank you.

I've done nothing.

It was all Our Queen's will.

That is not so. Although I did have the SoYeop knife,

if you had not cut the rope and pulled me outside, it would've been difficult for us to be here like this...

Even so, I was too late.

And so until she regained consciousness, she traveled between life and death.

But Our Queen never gave up on her will.

I was unconscious, so how could I have any will?

That was probably the baby inside my womb.

I can feel it move continuously.

I could feel it breathe.

This baby is a strong baby. It has come through that arduous path!

Dear baby, I will also try to do it.

I will do it for you.

The two of you, please help me.

I will try it. I will try to do it.

Even as the Great King JinHeung was about to die, he said he'd break out in cold sweat thinking that this small and weak nation might disappear..

He was worried that the weak and pitiful people of our nation might be come slaves of Baekje or Goguryeo...

The Shilla that the Great King raised up all his life, MiShil stole it from us.

I will take it back from her.

Please help me.

I will, Your Majesty.

I will, Your Majesty.

It has come back.

You have come back, and the time has returned.

You did well.

Was this it?

I heard that you received a heavenly revelation at Mt. JoongAk the day the Great King passed away...

Was this it?

MiShil must never become a queen.

Is that it?

No, that is not so.

Then, what is it?

The revelation I received

was that unless the seven stars of the Big Dipper become eight, no one in this world will be able to oppose Lady MiShil...

I heard that there were two revelations.

What is the next one?

It was that the heaven's way lies with you...

Is that why you looked so worried?

Were you thinking that the will of a person who does not have the ways of heaven only brings a calamity....?

I had a dream, sir.

It was a dream that pointed to the one who received the heavenly ways.

Whether my own desires have created that dream, or

Do not be concerned.

You'll understand as you continue on your path, and you will find out as you continue to do what you must...

You'll know as you continue...

You'll understand as you continue to do things.

Let us just walk on our path.

have u been here all night...?

Yes.

Why are you so obsessed about becoming a queen?

They said you will have everything though you may not be a queen.

Though I have everything, I do not like that I'm not a queen.

You are a woman.

Do not be worried.

The heaven must be in love with you also.

Although I do not have a clear vision,

Although I lack clear vision, but

it is certain that there's a problem with Lady Ma Ya's child.

As long as the seven stars of the Big Dipper do not become eight,

no one will be able to oppose Mi Shil.

My Lady, His Majesty is asking for you.

How is she?

The Queen and the baby are both fine.

Really?

Also, the due date is arriving soon, so we need to prepare quickly.

Quickly, arrange the birth room in the temple, and take the Queen there.

Yes, Your Majesty. We will attend to every detail.

Sire, the Hwarangs have heard the news and they would like to hold a Tanshin Ceremony.

Yes, they should.

What is it?

Is there a problem?

Look at this. We've tried so hard, and all our hardwork has come to naught.

That Chief is blessed.

Chief, MunNo, whatever, his lifeline sure is long.

Are we going to leave this wretch alone?

If you do something to the Chief rashly, it will only bring harm to us.

He's already returned from the land of the dead.

Half of Hwarangs will stake their lives on the Chief.

We have no way of harming the Chief right now.

So what? We should just take all this?

Things are different now.

We cannot guarantee success.

That's right. It'll be dangerous.

What's more, Hwabaek members are also having second thoughts.

Why not just change him again?

We did that to King JinJi, so why couldn't we do that once more?

Watch what you say!

Deposing King JinJi was possible because the Hwabaek and Chief MunNo were on our side.

You think I don't know!!

We did everything you told us to do, and look what's happened.

Sangcheon Gwan is here.

Tell her to come later. We're not going to ask her about our fortune in this state.

No...

...What?...

Bring her in.

Welcome.

My Lady, please clear the room.

What? You're asking us to leave??

Please stop for a moment.

Your Majesty, you mustn't follow any further.

Please wait in your chambers.

Your Majesty, it's the law.

Majesty, please don't worry.

I wish you well, my wife.

I understand.

Let's go.

Majesty, don't worry, I'll follow them in and do my best.

Aren't you going to cause a lot of fuss? Making the Queen dizzy with your antics?

No, Your Majesty, I've delivered many babies.

This I'm really excellent at.

Is that true?

I don't know about other things, but delivering a baby, please put your trust in me.

What did you say??!!!

What did you say just now?....

I said that two pulses were felt when the Queen's pulse was taken.

She will bear twins.

She will bear twins?

.....twins.....

You know about the royal prophecy passed down from our founder Hyeok Geo Se's time.

If a king bears twins, then

male seeds of royalty will dry up.

No one can escape this prophecy, My Lady.

Is this it?......

Is this heaven's way?

D..d...don't worry, I know how to do it well...

Are you going to have the baby?

Why are you trembling?

N..n..no, I..I..I mean....

Oh...oh....oh, ...M..my...Queen......

If a king bears twins, male seeds of royalty will dry up.

If a king bears twins, male seeds of royalty will dry up.

Does it mean Maya will have twins?

Big sister!

Sister, how can you be so relaxed?

The Queen has entered the birth chamber and her labor pain has begun.

The Hwarangs are busy preparing the Tanshin Ceremony.

Since you are playing music, are you trying to congratulate them?

You have to plan some...

Tell everyone to gather immediately.

And gather the soldiers secretly.

Soldiers?

Yes!

My Queen.....My Queen......

Majesty, it's a princess.

I was sure it was a prince.....

my apologies...

Don't say such a thing.

Isn't it this child that brought us back together?

But, Your Majesty,

Wife!

Everyone go wait outside.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You've done well...really well.

Majesty,...Majesty...did you see?

How could you have been hiding?

That's ..not....it....

I worked so hard, I was over there recovering.

Did you see?

What are you referring to?

Did you see the Princess' ear?

Yes, it's amazing. Just like Your Majesty's shape, the same birthmark.

Is it really the same?

I always wash your hair for you,

It's exactly the same!

My wife, It's really exactly the same!

Yes, My Majesty.

How can it...

What is it my wife?

Dear!

What is it? What's happening?

I see a ....head...

What are you saying? ....A head?...

A baby.....A baby....

What about a baby?

Is...is...is coming out again.

What?!!

My Lady! It's a great evil omen!

Then....

It's twins, it's just as I predicted...

I think it may be yet another princess.

If that's so, then it's twin girls!

It's twin girls.

Twin girls...

The Queen is in labor again, and she's about to give birth to a twin.

Go back and watch what happens.

Yes

Wife, wife, are you all right?

So Hwa, how is it?

Majesty, I will summon a midwife.

Lock the doors.

W..what? We need to call a midwife...

Quickly, I said to lock the doors!!

Quickly!!

What did you say, twins?

Yes, what's more, it seems to be twin girls.

Twin girls?

What do you mean twin girls?

My dear, if this is true,

then, this is it. We've got it!

You know about the prophecy passed down from our founder Hyeok Geo Se's time, right?

But of course. If a king bears twins, male seeds in royalty will dry up.

If a king bears twins, then the male seeds of royal lineage will be exhausted.

Doesn't that mean that the king will not have an heir?

Who? Who could dare ignore this prophecy?

It's the end for the Queen.

From now on we need to mobilize quietly.

Please command us.

You must deliver the baby.

W..What?

Wife, you know why I am doing this, don't you?

You know what happens if there is a royal twin birth.

SoHwa, what are you doing? Go help the Queen!

I've committed a deadly sin.

I lied to you about delivering babies before.

I..I can't deliver the baby.

Do you not know what a twin birth means??!!

I ...know...

Will you kill my children and destroy the Queen?

Will you not come here immediately??!!

We need to reveal to everyone of the royal twin birth.

But of course.

Have the Hwarangs preparing for the Tanshin Ceremony to gather in front of the birthing chamber.

i understand.

The King, in order to hide the twin birth, may try to slip the second baby out.

Post soldiers around the birthing chamber and let no one go in or out.

yes.

If he slips the child away, he will have to have someone to entrust her to.

Find out who that is.

Especially, MunNo.

You take care of Chief MunNo yourself.

I will do that right away.

You take charge of the Hwarang right away.

I'll do as you say.

And you, please watch what's going on at the temple.

Yes.

Sister, what must I do?

Brother, get ready to enter the court..

...W..what?

You have to congratulate the King on the birth of his child.

Ah ha...but of course.

Well?

So Hwa, how is she?

...Be strong...My Lady...

When the seven stars of the Big Dipper turns into eight stars...

MiShil's opponent will come.

That sixth star! The sixth star!

Can it?......

The baby to be born today?

Wife, just a little more.... My Lady....

The baby just came out.

I will take the men and find MunNo.

Do it quickly, I will take the Hwarangs and head to the birthing chambers.

If the Hwarangs find out about the twin birth, they will be disturbed, so

I think it's better to hide that right now.

Don't worry, go and quickly find MunNo.

Yes.

You've worked hard.

Majesty, it's a princess.

This knife will watch over you.

I'm sorry... don't think we abandoned you...but rather you saved your parents.

Majesty...by chance....by chance.....no..no no you can't.

NEVER!!...will I lose my control over to MiShil again.

Majesty.....

There's only you.

You must take the child and slip out of the palace.

Majesty!

Go find MunNo.

He's nearby, do you understand?

A man that looks like the Chief is driving his horse towards the direction of the delivery chamber.

Majesty, I'm SoHwa...

I'm juvenile, full of fear, a little lacking in the head,

Clumsy, always tripping.

How can I accomplish such a enormous task?

It makes no sense...no sense.

I'm a dummy, you know that.

There's...no one else.

I too.....don't want to send you.

You've ...been by my side longer than my mother.

.....M.a.j.e.s.t.y...

SoHwa...

I beg of you.

Please watch over that child.

...Please.

SoHwa...

Your Majesty.

Halt!!

Isn't that MunNo?

You're right, it's MunNo.

He's going toward the temple. MunNo is

Mun No, you bastard, what are you up to?

It's the delivery chamber at the temple. Mun No has gone to the delivery room!

The Hwarangs won't know about the twin birth, and they'll gather at the birth room!

Please tell them.

Yes, go and stop MunNo.

Go!

Yes, it was MunNo.

He will slip the baby out.

Surround the palace, and of course MunNo and don't let even a mouse escape.

Yes, sister.

Majesty...

Majesty, what is it?

Majesty, is there something wrong?

Majesty, Majesty, please open the door.

Majesty, open the door..

Is there something wrong inside?

Give the child to me.

No I can't.

Quickly.

I can't!!

This child is yours, too.

Majesty, what's wrong? Majesty...Majesty.

Quickly give me the baby.

Quickly...quickly.

Majesty, you can't..you can't.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry, my child.

Please forgive your father.

Please understand me, this is the only way.

You can't, Majesty.

Go...go quickly...

...W..what?...

Go, go quickly!!

My Queen....

No...You can't..SoHwa, No!!
