Episode 36.
Your majesty!
His majesty has regained his consciousness.
Yes, I have heard.
Should you not visit his majesty?
I did not expect he would recover this quickly.
Are you afraid?
He will start looking for his purged followers,
and find out that I held lady yoo-hwa in confinement.
If he even finds out that I married sul-LAN,
he'll probably behead me.
You knew what you'd be up against when you started it.
You've already crossed the river, and there is no turning back.
If you get shaken now, everything will be over.
His majesty is not completely healed yet.
So be firm on your decision.
How is his majesty?
My lady, his pulse has returned to normal.
But he barely escaped death.
His majesty is too weak to move around.
You've done well.
Your majesty, can you recognize me?
My lady
your majesty
what happened?
You were asleep for a long time, ever since you were wounded from the war.
How did the war go?
Bring ju-mong to me.
Father, this is dae-so.
Can you recognize me?
Dae-so.
I thought the world was coming to an end.
Father, this is young-po.
I was going to follow you if the heavens forsake you.
Your majesty.
Help me get up.
Where is ju-mong?
Bring ju-mong to me.
Your majesty, ju-mong was missing during the war.
We don't know if he's alive or not.
Your majesty.
Missing?
What do you mean you don't know if he's alive?
Tell me everything.
After defeating the Jin-beon and yim-doon army in the battle, he pursued the yim-doon governor and killed him,
but he was attacked by the iron army on his way to return, and...
The soldiers searched all over for him, but they could not find the commander ju-mong.
We almost had a chance of victory, but you were in critical condition,
commander was missing,
and the yo-dong army was about to join them and attack us.
So we had no choice but to evacuate to buyeo.
How is his majesty?
Although he regained his consciousness, he is still very weak.
He needs a rest. I don't think you should visit him for a while.
You should leave.
His majesty has recovered.
- What? - Really?
Thanks to you.
What a relief.
His majesty will be furious when he finds out has been going on.
Prince dae-so is in big trouble now.
We'll see what happens.
We must be alert until his majesty is fully restored to health.
Yes, sir.
Miss
what is it?
A royal guard wishes to meet miss so seo-no.
That rude brat again?
What brought you here this time?
I'm here to see miss so seo-no.
Miss?
How dare you? She's a married woman now.
Please forgive me.
It's over between so seo-no and prince ju-mong.
Seeing you will only remind her of her pain.
Why do you keep on coming here?
What is it?
His majesty has finally regained consciousness.
He'll need more time before he can move around.
I'd better go now.
What did you tell him?
What can you gain from surrounding yourself with prince ju-mong's old friends, now that he's dead?
We should be in luck, since king geum-wa regained his health.
This may lead into bloodshed in the buyeo palace.
You're right, my lord.
There has been too much bloodshed already for prince dae-so to back down.
Shouldn't we all go back to gyehru then?
We don't know who will get screwed over next.
Let's just go back.
Why don't so seo-no and oo-tae go back to gyehru?
We'll stay in buyeo.
Don't be so stubborn. I'm worried about your safety, my lady.
Even if we go back to gyehru, nothing will change.
Now that prince dae-so has all the power, if dae-so sends his troops, gyehru will be in even greater danger.
I hope you would not put yourself in sorrow anymore, because of prince ju-mong and dae-so.
Are you drinking again?
I had a strange dream.
What was it about?
I saw prince ju-mong.
It was so real.
I can't believe he's dead.
Gosh, darn it!
When are you going to get over prince ju-mong?
Yeo mi-eul would like to speak with you.
Yeo mi-eul?
What!?
Is prince ju-mong really alive?
I cannot be sure, but that's what this priestess saw, so you cannot disregard such possibility.
What should we do then?
He cannot fly, for his wings are broken.
Someone must go and save him.
Where?
Where should I go to save the prince?
The chief has ordered me to protect you discreetly.
Where are you trying to go?
I cannot tell you that now.
Don't worry about me. I just need a horse.
Then I will go with you.
Why don't we just go with him?
Very well.
We are going to look for prince ju-mong.
But the prince is dead!
He's alive.
I'm sure he's alive.
Stop it right there! You! Stop!
- Stop! - Miss!
Let's go!
Miss!
We'll camp here tonight.
Start camping.
Yes, chief. Start camping!
Su-ryong!
Yes, chief.
There, look!
It's a man!
Take him out of water.
He's still alive.
Get him in the tent quickly!
Yes, chief. Take him to the tent.
How is he?
I don't think he'll make it alive.
We still have a long way to go.
We can't take him in this condition.
He'll die anyways.
Let's just forget about him.
Who do you think this man is?
Ye chun judging from his armor, he's a warrior from a country.
I can't do much about it if he dies, but he may benefit our tribe if he lives.
Let's take him.
Han-baek tribe's headquarters.
I'm glad you're back safely.
How have you all been?
Good
su-ryong.
Yes, chief.
Call a doctor and have him take a look.
Yes, chief.
Follow me.
Father.
How have you been?
Who is he?
Didn't you say you want to get married?
I brought a husband for you!
How is he?
He's still breathing, but you can't say that he is alive.
Is there any way to save him?
I will try my best, but I cannot guarantee you anything.
I see.
He's really handsome.
You should marry him if he lives.
Do you have anything to say?
Well, sir...
Tell me.
While we were away, director sui-tak traded with han.
A deal?
He sold 200 horses to hyeon-to city.
Bring sul-tak to me immediately!
Did you really sell 200 of our horses to hyeon-to city while I was away?
Yes.
I told you not to trade anything with han!
But why? Tell me.
Answer me!
Sul-tak: Han-baek tribe's director while you were away, han entered into a great war with buyeo.
An envoy from hyeon-to city came and requested to use our horses for the war.
So I made a deal.
In return, we received enough food to last us several years.
Isn't this enough for a good deal?
You wretch!
We won't starve even if we don't trade with han!
Han is our enemy!
Both your parents were killed by the han army.
How can you trade with them?
How long must you linger onto the past?
Small tribes like us can only survive by becoming courteous to han.
My lord, you should put your past behind you for our tribe's future.
Shut up, you wretch!
I"ll deprive you of all your authority.
Get out of my sight!
Miss, director sul-tak wishes to speak with you.
What brings you here?
After losing everything, you, ye-soya, are the only thing I'm left with.
Ye-soya you'll regain what you've lost after some time.
Please wait until my father's anger subsides.
Do you think so?
You're wrong.
Time won't solve anything.
The chief and I will only be more estranged.
The only solution I have...
is to make you mine, ye-soya.
I have no intention of being your woman.
If you behave disrespectfully to me again, I won't forgive you.
Are you there, mal-hee?
Get a doctor, immediately!
Yes, miss.
Can you see?
Miss.
Where... am I?
I'm the chief of the han-baek tribe, ye-chun.
While coming back home from a journey, I saw you drifting in the river and saved you.
The doctor said you won't make it, but I guess you have a strong will to live.
Your armor tells me that you are a warrior.
Which tribe are you from?
I'm a prince of buyeo, ju-mong.
Are you really a prince of buyeo?
Yes.
I was attacked by the iron army during the war against han.
Thank you for saving my life.
You should thank her instead.
She took care of you day and night.
My name is ye-soya.
She is my daughter.
I'll need to ask you for a big favor.
I can't stay here.
Please help me get back to buyeo.
I understand how serious your situation is,
but you can't go back to buyeo in this condition.
Leave when you are in a better shape.
Miss, I'll do it.
It's okay.
Why are you smiling?
I was kidding last time, but I'm serious this time.
That handsome man is a prince of buyeo!
I really wish he becomes your life's companion.
Don't you agree?
Stop being ridiculous.
You shouldn't be walking around yet.
Why aren't you in bed?
I came out to get some fresh air.
Can I ask you a question?
By any chance, have you heard who won the war between buyeo and han?
I heard that the war became over, when the yo-dong army joined in.
I do not know who won.
Miss!
Miss, you should get out of here!
What's the matter?
Director sul-tak instigated a rebellion!
Where's my father?
What happened to my father?
He's fighting against the rebel army, but there's too many of them.
He told me to get you out of here!
I can't go without my father.
Miss! Please!
Kill them!
Let's go!
Stop!
What are you talking about?!
Is prince ju-mong really alive?
It's only a possibility.
Then should we not report this to the queen?
We may be placing the divination palace in danger, if we tell her without being sure.
Just hold your tongue.
What should we do now?
This is all because of yeo mi-eul, that witch!
We should have killed her.
Mother, what are you talking about?
It seems as if you were wishing his majesty's life was in danger.
I don't feel comfortable to hear that.
Do you wish to go back to where we have been before, then?
Do you wish to go back to times, when we were ignored and tormented by his majesty under ju-mong's shadow!
That is not what I mean.
Ju-mong is dead now, and brother will be the crown prince. There is nothing left you should be afraid of.
Do you not know father's temper?
He will not abandon his powers until the day he dies.
Although ju-mong is gone, he will create another ju-mong to keep his powers from me and sachuldo.
Your majesty, prime minister is here.
Tell him to come in.
Please, take a seat.
What will you do now?
There'll be nothing left if I back out now.
I need your help.
Although his majesty recovered his consciousness, he is not well enough to govern the nation.
Ask his majesty to let you rule as his representative.
That is the best plan we have.
Also send a letter to elder maga of sachuldo, just in case.
My heart is torn to thousands of pieces.
I don't know how you're enduring this, my lady.
I don't believe that ju-mong is dead.
I know that he will come back.
While prince dae-so was ruling in your absence, there was bloodshed in the palace.
Your loyal followers who tried to stop the queen and sachuldo, were imprisoned.
And prince dae-so, with the excuse of avoiding a war with han, he married Yang jeong's daughter.
All the ministers are keeping silence about prince dae-so's tyranny.
Your majesty, the future of buyeo is under dark shadow.
You must regain your strength.
Whoever visits his majesty, find out their identities and inform me.
Yes, your highness.
You should also keep a close watch on lady yoo-hwa.
I'll take your order, your highness.
Your majesty.
Song-ju, you must execute my orders discreetly.
Command me, your majesty.
Bring general heuk-chi to me.
Yes, your majesty.
Your majesty!
Are you all right?
Your majesty!
Chief general.
What is it?
His majesty would like an audience with you privately.
His majesty?
Chief general, I have never doubted your loyalty.
Your majesty, I will be loyal to your majesty and buyeo until the day I die.
I heard that dae-so and the queen have taken over the palace during my absence.
You heard the truth, your majesty.
It relieves me that you are still with me.
I shall bring everything back to the way they were before.
Then you mean...
How many soldiers can you mobilize discreetly?
Prince dae-so will notice if I move a large army.
The soldiers I can take, without being caught by the ministry of military, is a thousand..
That should be enough.
You and the soldiers will stay ready near the palace,
and enter upon my order.
Yes, your majesty!
Chief general heuk-chi has visited his majesty's.
He's trying to mobilize the army.
He intends to kill me.
Why don't you eliminate the chief general first?
I could have done that long ago.
But too many warriors are loyal to the chief general,
I will not be able to control the army with him dead.
Any news from sachuldo?
No, sir.
Order the royal guards and the palace garrisons to maintain a tight security.
Yes, your highness.
Sachuldo office this is our last resort!
Any jaegas who can endure humiliation and insult under geum-wa's arrogance can opt out now!
My son was killed during the last war.
I will get revenge!
Buyeo will come to its demise if we stay out like this.
Is anyone outside?
Did you call me, sir?
Prepare the soldiers.
We will depart for the buyeo palace!
You were looking for us?
Discreetly call some trustworthy guards.
Yes, general.
What is it?
The guard, song-ju, oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo made a suspicious move.
His majesty has given us a secret order!
Your majesty!
Is everything going fine?
Yes, sir.
What is it?
There was a gathering of chief general heuk-chi and his warriors outside the palace.
Song-ju has also secretly mustered the royal guards.
Your highness, you should take an action before they do.
Don't be hasty.
We should not move before they do.
Sachuldo soldiers should arrive here soon!
Are you there, hao-chen?
Were you looking for me?
Hasn't prince dae-so finished his work?
No, I sent a man to check, but the prince is still in his office.
I should go see him.
Your highness, this is sul-LAN.
Do come in.
It is late.
Why aren't you in bed yet?
Do you have any worries?
No, I just had a lot of work.
My lady.
Yes, your highness.
What if I cannot become the emperor of buyeo?
That is unlikely, your highness.
Your highness is already not far from being the emperor of buyeo.
Whoever becomes a stumbling block to your journey to the throne, I will eliminate him.
If there is any problem, please tell me.
I will request my father to help you.
We are moving tonight.
I will take the royal guards and imprison prince dae-so and young-po upon his majesty's order.
You will leave the palace, and bring general heuk-chi's warriors inside.
Yes, sir.
The fate of buyeo is in our hands.
We must move fast and take over the palace.
Your highness!
What is it?
I received the letter that says that the sachuldo soldiers have arrived.
Looks urgent, where are you heading?
We are changing the shifts.
Which place is it that makes you move this many royal guards at once to change the shifts?
I, the commander of the bodyguards, have never received such report!
Attack!
You highness!
What are all these about?
I have no clue as well.
I should go back to the palace immediately!
We have a big problem.
What happened?
Sachuldo has sent the troops to take over the buyeo palace.
Although prince dae-so has commanded me to open the gate for you,
I can't let your soldiers follow you.
How dare you!
We're here to protect his majesty the emperor.
Move out of our way immediately!
Please wait here. I will ask for his majesty's permission.
You wretch!
Attack!
The guga and juhga soldiers will blockade the gate!
The rest will follow me to his majesty's!
Dae-so!
Brother!
Brother, what is going on?
You stay out of this.
Let's go.
Brother!
How did it go?
Elder maga and prince dae-so have taken over the palace.
Well done!
It's finally settled now!
Chief general, you're a little late.
There is no one who can open the gate for you. What will you do now?
Take your soldiers away!
We have taken over his majesty's!
I don't like the look of this.
Indeed.
Minister, why don't you enter the chamber?
I'm too embarrassed to see his majesty.
Your majesty.
It's all over now.
The chief general is swallowing his anger outside the gate, having no chance to enter in.
Father.
Why must you kill me?
What is it that you wish to gain from killing me and the queen?
Why must be an enemy to you?
Please explain to me, your majesty.
It was you, who tried to gain power, while I was unconscious.
How treacherous you are, my son.
You have set everything up, yet you are now blaming this on me?
What is it that you want from me?
Is it my life?
Your majesty, how could you think I would carry out such an immoral scheme?
You are not even healthy enough to govern this nation yet.
Until you fully recover, please allow me to govern this nation as your representative.
A representative?
How could you say that when his majesty is still alive and well?
Shut your mouth!
Your majesty.
You have been too hostile to the sachuldo.
If you don't consent prince dae-so to rule as your representative,
your majesty and the sachuldo will forever be against each other.
Please think of the future of buyeo.
Your majesty, you should not permit this!
Take the lady away!
Yes, sir!
Your majesty!
Take those hands off her!
Escort the lady with courtesy.
Yes, your highness.
Your majesty.
Do whatever you wish.
Take him out!
Yes, sir!
On your knees!
Are you prince of buyeo, ju-mong?
What a delightful surprise.
I would have beheaded you if I did not know who you are.
But now that I know that you are a prince of buyeo, I can't do that.
Take him away to hyeon-to city!
Yes, sir!
As I have heavier responsibilities now
I seek your support
bring him out
the three-legged bird is not...
Where is that place?
Arrest chief yeon ta-bal
yes...
Your highness
please spare my father.
I can do nothing for you
this girl is so filial
since she's willing to die in her father's place
we shall Grant her wish.
I am indebted to your kindness.
I still have some unfinished business.
I won't die so easily
please do not worry
