"Only Prince Deokheung knows I am with you." "He sided with Yuan." "What's taking so long...?" "So I have no choice but to go to Yuan?" "Even if I say no?" "Are you still naive about this world?" "We must run before it's a royal Order, so move fast." "So you're going with me?" "Wudalchi Captain?" "You go first." "I will follow after I see the king." "But will the king allow it now?" "I won't seek his permission." "Then you'll resign for me?" "The envoy will ask the King to give you to them." "I don't want the King forced to decide that or I'll have to capture you to send you away." "Understand?" "Mostly." " What?" " I'm uneasy, leaving you." "So come quickly in case." "Dae Man." "Yes?" " Escort her safely." " Yes." "The Yuan envoy sent a letter." "Alright." "What's it say?" "What does it say?" "He called a Dodang.(assembly)" "An assembly?" "He's waiting with senior Councillors ...for you to attend." "The Yuan envoy assembled my Councillors and tells the king to come?" "He orders me around?" "Are you going to see the king?" "Yes, I am." "He waited for you all yesterday." "My apologies." "Are you angry over the loss of Wudalchi men?" "No, I am not." "The king spoke many times of how you cherished your men and will be heartbroken." "He would say that." "Go and see him now." "Did you summon a nation's king?" "I am Son Yu, holder of Dansa (Yuan authority)." "So then?" "Speak." "This is the message of the Yuan emperor." "In the last decade, many Goryeo kings occupied the throne but they were all incompetent." "The Goryeo king can no longer be trusted." "Your Majesty, must we hear such appalling words?" "This is outrageous, Your Majesty!" "So then?" "Your Majesty, did you scorn the seal of Yuan and fail to protect the palace?" "Anything else?" "Continue." "That is Yuan justification to dethrone you and annex Goryeo." "That's impossible." "So you will fight Yuan?" "I can't hand over my nation." "I must fight." "And can you win?" "Some things must be fought for even if you can't win." "Such words seem impressive but what of your people who must shed blood?" "Don't evade the point." "What citizens fear war if they might lose their nation?" "Although I have a Yuan post," "I am from Goryeo." "And?" "I have come here to give Goryeo its final chance of independence." "You may not enter." "Why?" "No-one may enter unless their name is called." "I hold an imperial edict to enthrone Prince Deokheung." "There is one stipulation." "He will be Goryeo's last king." "He will hand Goryeo to Yuan at the end." "And my uncle surely accepted." "That is right." "You mentioned a last chance for Goryeo?" "I did." "First." "You will again use the Yuan Seal." "Second." "You must remove all treacherous forces." "Treacherous forces?" "That woman High Physician." "High Doctor?" "She bewitched you and your Commander Choi Young." "Kill her." "What?" "After you execute her, I will report to Yuan..." "'His Majesty saw sense and removed the charlatan'." "She is guiltless." "Rumours of that woman even spread to Yuan." "It is the best way." "General Choi Young asks to see His Majesty." "What is it?" "He will not see you." "Did something happen?" "He says he won't see you." "There's an order to increase Wudalchi to 200." "To reach that number, we must relax qualifications." "These past seven years, you really led Wudalchi." "Well, I guess that's so in some respects." "The Yuan Dansa officer..." "Yes, Captain?" "Put a few guys on him." "To guard him or tail him?" "Never mind." "His Majesty didn't sleep again?" "Yes, he looked at documents till dawn." "Deokheung is sticking to the Yuan envoy so..." "What should I do?" "Watch him." "Extend security?" "Don't think after the event." "Be ready before it happens." "I understand." "His Majesty thinks too much." "When it gets late, escort him to the queen." "Yes, sir." "And also..." "Yes?" "I leave it up to you." "Yes, sir." "Excuse me?" "This chest holds my personal belongings." "You want me to move it?" "Dispose of it...as you wish." "Dispose?" "When I was 9 or 10, I lived alone." "In the mountain?" "Alone?" "How'd a child do that?" " I just did." " Oh, my!" "And then?" "When I was 13 or 14, I met the Captain." " What a relief." " It wasn't." "When I met him, I bit his hands and legs." "Why?" "I ran and he chased and I bit him." "That went on five days ." "so I got tired and slept." "." " When I woke, Captain fed me." " So you got close." " Yes." "." "What is it?" "He walks soundlessly." "I can't fight a guy like him." "Why won't the King see me?" "." "And if you see him?" "." "I'm leaving for a while." "If he won't permit it..." "." "He gives you consent." "." "He said to leave quickly." "Tell him to run far away with High Doctor and don't turn back." "Say farewell to High Doctor." "His Majesty publicly consented to hand over High Doctor." "So it must look like you left before knowing the decision or you'll be defying a Royal order." "Why's Yuan want High Doctor?" "What for?" " So you'll take her to the portal?" " Correct." "Can't you stay here and let Suribang take her?" "It's 20 days to full moon, but you want me to part from her?" "Those 20 days could lose you all you fought for." "You might not be allowed to return." " Aunt." " What?" "In my 7 years here, there is little worth remembering." "I have nothing to lose." "I'm going." "Don't get caught." "They don't want to take her to Yuan." "That Dansa office wants High Doctor publicly executed." "What would the King do without her?" " That Dansa officer said..." " No...don't tell me." "Anyway, I can't stay." "And once I leave, I won't qualify to return." "A punk like me needn't know." "What did he say?" "Did my nephew concede?" "He did." "He will execute High Doctor and use the Yuan seal?" "He said so." "That's unbelievable." "Did you send my coachman on an errand?" "I heard you sent a letter to High Doctor." "I did." "Did you tell her to run away so the king can't execute her?" "Don't be like that." "She was my betrothed." "I can't see her die." "Didn't Choi Young leave with her?" "Was it your plan to part him from the king?" "He's useless." "Dae Man." "You two be safe, alright?" " We're going." " Okay, be careful." "See how the Commander left his duties and men." "That was the type of man our king relied on." "So use the imperial edict and end this." "This King will go to war if you force him." "He hasn't the guts, brains or talent." "I am a bureaucrat." "I carry out my missions at lowest cost, highest gain." "That's my duty." "My aim is the least sacrifice to make Goryeo a Yuan administrative region." "If Your Highness is needed, I will ask you." "It's the same size, no blisters yet, no fever or symptoms so don't worry." "When you get to Heaven, can you cure it fast?" "Of course." "One test and one shot." "I believe you." "What are you doing?" "Here." "You can't walk much, can you?" "I always rode in things." "I really walked a lot in this world." "Is there anything you like about here?" "I wonder..." "There isn't?" "Nothing?" "Oh, one thing." "What is it?" "Do it again." "What?" "That. "What is it?"" ""What's this?" "What are you doing?"" "Go to every province and gather provisions for the troops." "Also, I promote Hogun Ahn Jae to Dosun Commander." "He has power to mobilise all armies." "Be combat ready quickly." "Your Majesty." "What is it?" "I beg to inform you..." "Yanggye and Ahnju commanders recommend Hogun Choi Young." "He led my Ahnju troops in a previous engagement and has never lost a battle." "The men will follow Choi Young so..." "The command...is yours, General Ahn Jae." "I accept." "Did we learn more about Yuan internal affairs?" "The Red Turban Rebellion is gaining." "But does Your Majesty truly want to wage war?" "I'd like to contact some people in Yuan first." "My goal is to prevent Yuan striking first." "If they desire our lands, they must spill their blood." "I want to show them that." "What do you think, General?" " On the run?" " Yes." "My betrothed and her abductor are off to the north border." "Why's my High Doctor with him?" "I just found out." "I thought I should tell you." "You get your High Doctor, and I need the seal." "How'd you just 'find out'?" "Unless you handed her over, how'd she be with that man?" "She should be with me!" "Look here." "I have something to tell you." "I have a plan to bring back High Doctor." "I'm sick and tired of your plans." "Quick, move him!" "Don't touch him!" "He has backlash!" "Do something!" "I should...get High Doctor myself..." "We'll bring her back." "Yang Sa." "Yes." "Send a message out." "Make sure mercenaries know they'll get 1000 nyang for her and they must kill Choi Young." "There's no time... no time..." "Let's go." "Two plates of food." "Alright." "Let's have a drink." "Over here!" "That's alcohol, right?" "One bottle." "I know a bar like this." "It has awesome makgeolli." "Hungry..." "Here." "Mr. General, cheers." "Not drinking?" "Isn't it our first drink together?" "Yes." "You don't like drinking?" " Not much." " Why not?" " Imja." " Yeah?" "When I say "now", go face down." " Face down?" " Now!" "Are you alright?" "Is this us?" "A wanted poster?" "It's our pictures." "Your reward is high." "I look like this?" "No way..." "A reward this high makes our path very hard." "I look like that?" "It looks like him?" "I was about to retire." "Honestly, I was getting up." "Now tell me." "What is today's problem?" "Today?" "New problems arise every day." "I can't listen to them all so I will just hear today's." "I'll listen, agonize with you, and stay up with you." "Today's problem is this." "To keep Goryeo's independence," "I must show them proof." "So they want you to use the Yuan seal and execute High Doctor." "But now I have no High Doctor and no Yuan seal." "Will their troops invade?" "They will invade if I don't submit and abdicate." "And will you fight?" "I don't know." "I don't know so I can't sleep." "Buin.(wife)" "Yes, Your Majesty?" "If I were a citizen ordered to fight, how would you feel?" "What would you think in that case?" "I would...if it were me..." "Wife...what's wrong?" "Wife." "Look here!" "Anyone outside?" "Wife!" "The queen is ill." "What's wrong?" "Wife." "Wife." "Do Chi, my lady, my queen is..." "It is still early but it is confirmed." "The queen is with child." "Congratulations, Your Majesty." "Congratulations." "But her myeongmoon pulse is weak, so take care." "Of course." "May I see her?" "Of course." "Congratulations, Your Majesty." "Are you alright?" "Yes." "Any pain?" "None." "How I ended up..." "how I was able to meet you..." "My Queen." "Thank you." "I truly thank you." "Someone might attack at night." "Go back in and sleep." "Don't worry." "What is it?" "Isn't that the direction of the palace?" "Before I fell asleep, you were looking there." "Go in." "You're barely awake." "You're worried about your king." "Then let's do this." "You know that village I first arrived in?" "Where the portal is." "Drop me off there and go back." "I'm letting you off easy." "I can't return." "Why not?" "I wouldn't tolerate my kind of Wudalchi." "What kind of wudalchi?" "A soldier reluctant to use his sword will die." "A warrior who hesitates can't protect the king." "Even for just one day, did you ever do what you wanted, not what was ordered?" "Yesterday...and... today." "Go." "These men want blood so stay here." "Deokheung and the Yuan envoy are in cahoots." "Where's Deokheung now?" "Youngbingwan." "(Envoy Hall)" "Deokheung visited Jo Deok Man and Man Jeon." "You know that Yang Sa?" "He bought a lot of medicine." "What's the medicine for?" "Who knows?" "Hey!" "Why do half a job?" "Is Deokheung staying with the Dansa officer?" "Yes." "Deokheung has a room at Youngbingwan." " So he already knew." " Excuse me?" "The Dansa officer knew I had no High Doctor or Seal but he still set those conditions." " Do Chi." " Yes, Your Majesty?" "Find out what Suribang need and compensate them." "Yes, I will." " Commander." " Yes?" "Ask Suribang to check up on Deokheung and Dukseong." "If they parted ways, I want to know why." "I understand." "So, you want my response?" "A day has passed." "Your Majesty, it's simple." "Order High Doctor's execution with the Seal, and do it." "After that, I will appeal to the Yuan Emperor to leave Goryeo as an independent state." " Why are you using murky tactics?" " Murky tactics?" "You want Goryeo to submit?" "That's my task." "Then simply do it, without High Doctor or the Seal." "I will muster strength to fight." "Whether as King or governor, there are two candidates." "The one in front of me will go to war for Goryeo." "The other puts his own safety above all else." "So, you'll make the choice?" "Is that task from Yuan?" "The choice belongs to the one with authority." "That's my view." "Then what shall I do?" "Dansa Officer, should I dance to please you?" "I stipulated High Doctor and the Seal." "I will return tomorrow." "Well then." "I can only wait three days." "I must make the King's decision simpler." "Bring me High Doctor." "Kill that man with her." "His fighting skills will be hindered with a woman along." "You should have no trouble." "This letter is from Dansa Officer." "He said to hand it to Your Highness." "Why's it nonsense to you?" "You taught me to ride and use a knife." "I want to teach you something." " Forget it." " Stop a bit!" "This is a popular spell in heaven." "Learn it well and teach your Wudalchi." " Your prelude's too long." " Fine." "Make a fist." "Try." "Aja!" "When you feel low and do nothing but sleep, go, Aja!" "Come on!" "Aja!" "Is it so hard?" "Two syllables!" "Hey, General." "Stay still!" "People here only make a promise in words." "A Goryeo warrior swears on his life." "From now on, do a pinky swear." "Promise like this, stamp it like this." "If it's not enough, copy it like this." "Promise like this and don't stake your life." " I understand." " Oh, one more, "High Five."" "Come on, do it once." "I'm begging." "You don't need words, just feelings." "'Look, cheer up!" "Do well.'" "Be sure to show the king." "What are you thinking?" "I'm wondering what you're thinking." "Go in front so I can protect you." " One more thing!" " Enough." " Just one, one!" " Enough now!" "Are they after us?" "No." "They're provincial troops." "From their new uniforms, they're new recruits." "Go find out." "I'll be at that medicine shop." "Why?" "Are you ill?" "I need spare medicines." "Come get me there." "Excuse me?" "Do you have bee hine?" "One moment." "Toxins leaving the body leave itchy rashes so..." "That looks like atopy." " Are they recruiting?" " It's a national army draft." "Be quick." "The royal pardon means lots of freed slaves are here." "Yup, we get clothes, food and a sword!" "Now we're not slaves, but soldiers!" "Did something happen at the border?" "If you plan to sign up, stand in line." " Where's your superior?" " What?" "Where's your superior officer?" "Why, you punk!" "Why are you fussing?" "What's up?" "It's flying tick poison?" "It has no antidote." "So there's none." "That bastard!" "Just wait..." " But acupuncture reduces pain." " That's possible?" " Yes, it is." " Can you teach me?" " I need to hide my pain." " I'll teach a pretty lady." "See here." "That woman's in my sight." "What?" "Why?" "Wife, I will do it, sit." " What?" " It's nothing." "I'll be back soon." "I need to resolve a matter." " Go slowly." " Why, slowly?" "I will pray at Bojae Temple for you...and our child." "Shall I come to the temple after my business?" "I will go alone." "Isn't praying together better?" "Please do your work or others will laugh at you." "I will do that." "Your Majesty's visit is an honour." "It's rumoured you're ill." "How are you faring?" "Nonsense, I'm fine." "Please sit." "I'm surprised you came here among my soldiers." "You have something to exchange." "You want something I own?" "Do you have the Yuan seal?" "You brought the royal decree making my uncle Regent." "It had the Yuan seal on it." "Well, this is..." "I can't admit or deny it." "Would you give it to me?" "The king visited the Court Prince?" "They're meeting now." "It's the Yuan seal." "He went to get it." "But will Lord Dukseong hand it over?" "He will." "Lord Dukseong is half mad." "He only sees one thing." "The seal won't interest him." "And if I hand it over?" "What do I gain?" "Will your freedom do?" "You want to go some place but you can't..." "I will give it to you." "Yang Sa!" "Where's the Seal?" "Hurry and bring it, hurry." "Yes." "Your Majesty." "Yes?" " Don't laugh at me." " I apologize." "I never lacked for anything." "I got whatever I wanted." "I could've even been king." " A royal Gi line would be easy." " Of course." "But always my heart had a black hole" "I couldn't fill." "Then I met that Heaven person." "I don't care if that world is paradise or hell." "I must go." "And if you go?" "Will your heart be filled?" "Won't it?" "People always force me to act." "I only wished to live with books in peace." "But they won't let me be." "Pardon?" "I didn't want to go this far but people keep pushing me." "The wind is chilly Why go today?" "My heart won't stay still." "I must do something or I fret." "I understand." "I will escort you to the temple." "Royal Doctor Jang can join us." "Lady Choi." "Yes, Your Highness?" "I want to go with a small retinue." "For now, no one is to enter..." "not even monks." "Yes, Ma'am." "Will the child be a prince or princess?" "With a handsome father and a pretty mother," "Baby Highness will be beautiful." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "I got the Dansa Officer's letter." "I am Borjigin Botasirin, Prince of Wei's daughter." "Where is my mother's letter?" "Don't move." "." "I won't move." "." "Oh no." "Imja, what's wrong?" "Look here, what happened?" "Did someone come by?" "No..." "What's wrong then?" "Are you ill?" "Just... hold me." "What is it?"
