"Do you know what this is?" "!" "This is none other than the Heavenly Sword!" "I shall pierce your flesh with its blade, and become the ruler of these northern lands!" "What are you waiting for?" "Kill them!" "Your Majesty." "You must leave!" "Chief Retainer!" "Your Majesty." "Let us go." "King Daeso is running away!" "Capture him!" "Your Majesty." "It's Maro." "A message from His Highness, Sire." "He says the alliance between Baegeuk and King Daeso was broken." "Is that true?" "Yes." "King Daeso escaped outside the capital, and they sent him back to Buyeo." "Your Majesty!" "It's all over!" "We must convince more lords, if we are to help the Crown Prince." "His Highness ordered me to escort you to Jolbon." " I am just fine." " Baegeuk knows where you are." "You never know what he might do, so you must return." "He's right." "We have now achieved all your goals, so it would be wise to return, and take care of yourself." "Everything went according to the Crown Prince's plans." "He orders to gather immediately." "Prepare for deployment!" "Yes!" "Shouldn't we start by recapturing the Central Guard's encampment?" "It will take over five days for the troops in the Pyeongcheon Plains to reach here." "How are we going to recapture the encampment?" "The guards of the Hwanna chieftain shall attack the encampment." "They've already completed all preparations." "If we are to minimize casualties on our side, we must focus on ambushes and attacks on multiple fronts." "We can't let them predict our plans, so follow Baegeuk's movements discreetly." "I will." "I must importune you by borrowing your authority among the people." "Announce to all creation that the heavens' sacred vim is in my hands." "I never witnessed any such revelation." "Whether you did or not does not concern me." "What matters is that I wish for it!" "The credulous masses shall certainly believe what you say." "I can't do that." "You are now the new sorceress." "If you don't announce such revelation, you shall perish by my blade." "What will you do?" "Will you announce the revelation, or meet your demise here and now?" "!" "I will follow your wishes." "How did it go?" "We sent troops after them, but King Daeso and Prince Dojin fled." "They fled?" "!" "Didn't I tell you to staunchly guard all pathways to Buyeo?" "My apologies." "How miserable!" "May you quell your ire." "I summoned the chieftains to the council hall." "Follow me to the hall, receive their felicitations, and partake in the joy of triumph." "Our congratulations." "Our congratulations." "Your Majesty!" "You defeated King Daeso and gained control of the capital..." "I am in awe, Your Excellency." "How dare you interfere in this?" "Interfere?" "!" "You're going to dishearten me, talking like that." "Ohh... right." "You did have some merit in our grand endeavor." "I see he who holds the Heavenly Sword can feel its momentous vim." "But, I guess more than any meritorious service on my part, we could say the sword came to whom it belonged to by itself." "You were blessed by the heavens to become the great ruler of our northern lands." "We never know how the people might react, so don't prattle imprudently." " Ahhh... yes." " Why should you keep fearing the people?" "When they learn you subjugated King Daeso after using him, they shall ardently support and admire your masterful strategy." "That is right." "I shall use my connections in the trades to let... everyone know about your heroic deeds, Sire." "Fine." "Master!" "You little fool..." "Give me some signs, will you?" "This is not the time to be here." "What's wrong now?" "Princess Yeon had been imprisoned inside the palace." "Where is she now?" "The Black Shadows took her out." "I've seen them take her out of the palace with my own eyes." "Then... did they bring her to Buyeo?" "They still should be in Goguryeo territory." " Let us swiftly alter His High..." " Eh!" "His Highness shall never learn that she was confined here, nor that she's been taken to Buyeo." "Don't you know how His Highness will feel now?" "That's exactly why, you fool!" "If you alert him, then what?" "He can't do anything about it." "Don't you know how crucial a period it is for His Highness?" "Ahh... still..." "Don't waste time with nonsense." "How can the heavens be so cruel to him?" "!" "Nunim." "Did you find out?" "Did Baegeuk really rout King Daeso out of the capital?" "Yes." "Looks like it is time to end all this dishonor." "What are you talking about?" "We can't remain here in Gungnae Fortress." "I shall meet Baegeuk, and I will tell him to either send me away, or slay me." "Make a decision either way." "Don't do this, please." " If you could only endure..." " What would enduring all this change?" "Before I can see it with my own eyes," "I can't believe Yeojin perished." "Baegeuk might have tried to beguile me." "Nunim!" "Yeojin is not dead." "He couldn't possibly perish and leave me alone." "Nunim." "I beg you..." "Father." "Where is Muhyul?" "He is now at a refuge near the capital." "Are you telling me Muhyul entered the capital?" "Yes." "His Highness ordered me not to tell you before I escorted you here." "My apologies." "Muhyul must have convinced the Hwanna chieftain to cooperate." "The chieftain is now helping His Highness." "After they gain control of the Central Guard encampment, they will join with the troops from Pyeongcheon Plains... and attack the capital." "Yeonhwa." "Yeonhwa!" "What happened to you..." "Return to your quarters." "Prince Yeojin has passed away." " Bring her to her quarters." " Yes!" "Just... allow me to stay here." "Don't do anything stupid." "Following Prince Yeojin to the netherworld, or any such nonsense." "Don't even dream about it." "What are you waiting for?" "Escort her in!" "Yes!" "Good gracious..." "Why did this happen?" "How did it go?" "The Hwanna troops are advancing to the encampment as we speak." "But, do we really have chances of succeeding?" "That only depends on you, Chieftain." "The Supervisor and I think we have a good chance to succeed." "What do you think, Chamgunnim?" "I think we can win." "Is that enough?" "It shall be a fierce battle." "But if you're prepared to die, we shall surely triumph, so you needn't worry." "Abate your ire, Your Majesty!" "The mighty Daeso has become a laughing stock!" "Are you telling me to quell my fury now?" "!" "I fear this might bring you ailments, Sire." " Let us first call the phys..." " There is no need!" "I shall quell this wrath..." "by sweltering Goguryeo!" "And Baegeuk... that vile scalawag!" "He shall join Muhyul and Yuri on the chariots to dissolution!" "Deploy all battalions!" "Let us gather our army, and march to Goguryeo!" "What are you waiting for?" "We can't deploy troops at the moment, Sire." "Hwangnyong deployed troops all along the border." "If you deploy our troops, they will invade us." "Does it make any sense?" "Those meager Hwangnyong boors attacking the mighty Buyeo?" "!" "You miserable dullards!" "You couldn't even learn of such crucial movements in time?" "!" "As your alliance with Baegeuk was broken," "Hwangnyong started deploying troops, as if they were just waiting for it." "This would have never been possible without Goguryeo leaking the news." "Are you telling us Baegeuk convinced Hwangnyong to make a move?" "Not Baegeuk... but it's quite possible it might have been Muhyul." "Again with that Muhyul?" "!" "Who would gain the most, if Hwangnyong were to block our advance?" "None other than Muhyul." "What's more, with Your Majesty and Baegeuk's alliance in tatters," "Baegeuk's influence could only suffer." "Then, is this all a stratagem by Muhyul to reconquer the capital?" "That seems to be the case." "You may leave." "You... shall lodge at a normal abode from now, and be surveilled by the Black Shadows." "I will repeat it again, but don't act with imprudence." "You must now erase all your memories of Goguryeo and Muhyul." "That is the only way for you to survive, and protect the child in your womb." "Baegeuk summoned a meeting of the lords?" "Yes." "Not only the Biryu clan chieftain, but all the lords as well." "Are they planning to strike Jolbon?" "Looks like we'll have set our plans in motion." "Baegeuk is not concerned about Jolbon in the slightest." "What are you trying to say?" "All that populates Baegeuk's mind is the desire to become King." "The reason he summoned the lords and chieftains is to announce that." "That wretched fool." "Your Highness." "We can't allow him to do this any longer." "I shall infiltrate the palace, and get rid of Baegeuk." "Calm down." "If the lords join forces with Baegeuk, it will be difficult to recapture the capital." "Baegeuk is envenomed by the fumes of victory, so we can just take advantage of his weaknesses." "We shall first reconquer the encampment, so be prepared." "Your Majesty!" "What is the matter?" "Baegeuk summoned lords and chieftains, and is trying to be acknowledged as the King." "Anyone who refuses to participate is being mercilessly slaughtered." "The lords of Mokcheon and Seongsan who agreed to join forces... have been murdered." "We shall return to the capital, so make all preparations." "Return to the capital?" "!" "I shall meet with Baegeuk." "What are you trying to do?" "It's obvious what Baegeuk will do to you." "Do you wish to let the claws of death engulf you?" "Everything my own demerit caused," "I shall solve by myself." "You can't." "Have faith in His Highness." "He will surely defeat Baegeuk, and regain the capital." "It's not because I don't trust Muhyul will make it." "It is because this is the last thing I can do for Muhyul and my country." "Why wouldn't I understand your feelings, Sire?" "But, I beg you to retract those words." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty." "I escorted her." "How are you faring?" "If you're worried that what the Biryu clan did might hamper your life, you need not do so." "You are the Crown Princess I chose." "Yes, Your Majesty." "There is something I must tell you." "You may tell me." "You must be aware the Empress took part in Baegeuk's treason." "Being an empress will push people to use her for their own benefit, and should she fall for their ambitions, it will only bring her endless despair." "Don't ever fall for such foolish chimeras." "Only allow this country and Muhyul to dominate your thoughts." "Is that clear?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "You may leave." "Taecheon." "Let's go." "Your Majesty." "Must you really go?" "Do you realize why we gained control of this encampment in a moment?" "Because nobody was willing to sacrifice their lives for you." "You might have pressed and forced them to accept your rule, but you never gained their faith and confidence." "But, you are Goguryeo people as well, so I shall give you one last chance." "Will you die for Baegeuk, or live as Goguryeo people?" "We pledge fealty to Your Highness!" "How about Baegeuk's movements?" "He still is not aware we gained control of the encampment." "When will the troops arrive?" "In a couple of days." "Princess Seryu is leading the troops here as we speak." "Your Highness." "The Daebo is here." "What brings you here so suddenly?" "Did anything happen to His Majesty?" "His Majesty... left for the capital." "He did what?" "!" "He learned Baegeuk was summoning lords and chieftains, and left, saying he'd meet Baegeuk first hand." "Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" "What is the matter?" "His Highness left for the capital, to rescue His Majesty." "We must stop him!" "Now!" "Stand back!" "If you really want to, you will have to slay me first!" "Slay me!" "His Majesty... is trying to die for my sake!" "Get out of the way!" "His Majesty... didn't go there to die." "He chose to go there, and forever live inside your heart." "Muhyul!" "I bid you welcome." "May you enter." "Here..." "I see he's summoning them all." "What if Baegeuk really becomes King?" "That can't happen, Master!" "I know very well there are people among you... who oppose my sitting on this throne." "I, too, spent countless nights wondering if I will be the right man for this." "But, I hereby accept the mandate of heaven, and pledge to improve the lives of our people who suffered under the former king, and make this a great and prosperous empire!" "Whose troops are you?" "The Biryu clan you come from is part of Goguryeo." "What could be the reason you, as Goguryeo people, would stop your King?" "Free the way." "We shall now proclaim a new ruler." "I see His Excellency as the perfect candidate, but how do you people feel?" "Does Baegeuk really befit that throne?" "!" "What is the matter?" "Daunted by my presence and the prospect of my facing these people?" "What are you waiting for?" "Get him out of the council hall!" "Yes!" "Stand back!" "What are you hesitating about?" "!" "Take him out and slay this man!" "It will be of no use." "Your treacherous blade might pierce my body, but my wishes shall survive in Muhyul for generations to come!" "There is no such thing as Goguryeo anymore." "Just like Muhyul's fate predicted, that country is no more, and now I shall create a new one from its ashes." "Wait and see." "Muhyul shall protect Goguryeo." "So you still have faith in Muhyul!" "How pitiable!" "He might have been only an adoptive father to you, but how could you, who killed the man whom nature made your father, ever understand a father's utmost trust for his son?" "!" "Shut your mouth!" "Too drunk with the nocuous nectar of ambition, did you bestow your father and this country's future upon your enemy?" "!" "I merely used Buyeo and King Daeso." "I only used him to achieve my goals!" "You trampled on this land and its people, they who carried the legacy of the son of heaven." "Because of your vile ambitions, our people were engulfed by endless suffering." "Even if that crown might bedeck your perfidious pate, you shall not last long." "After killing your father, and even conspiring with Buyeo," "the heavens shall never forgive you!" "Your Ma..." "What are you doing?" "Take him out and slay him!" "Save him!" "Your Excellency!" "He shall not perish in such a miserable manner." "I shall behead Muhyul right under your eyes." "I will pierce his flesh!" "I shall prove to you how foolish your utterances were!" "Save him!" "You must save him!" "You must!" "You must save him at all costs!" "The king of this country is no longer Yuri, but me!" "Baegeuk!" "Understood?" "Is that clear?" "Me, Baegeuk!" "Understood?" "!" "Not Yuri, but me!" "It's Baegeuk..." "It's me, Baegeuk!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty." "I was blinded by greed, and committed the crime of abandoning the man... who cherished me for his entire life." "I thought a thousand times about taking my own life, but I wanted to meet you again, and beg you for forgiveness." "I wanted to perish by your punishing sword, Sire." "I already... have forgiven you." "Even if you forgive me," "I shall never forgive myself." "How could someone who abandoned her spouse... and sent her son to die wish for survival?" "If it's because of Yeojin, do no longer blame yourself." "Even Yeojin... would have forgiven you." "That poor boy... worried about you until the very last minute." "Your Majesty!" "Your Highness." "What happened to His Majesty?" "Speak right now!" "What happened to His Majesty?" "Baegeuk summoned everyone to the council hall to announce... himself as the new King, and it was then that His Majesty emerged." "He made Baegeuk face all his mistakes." "But that fool... as if blinded by madness, took the Heavenly Sword and..." "And..." "His Majesty?" "Thankfully, he didn't kill him." "He called the physicians to treat his wound, and that was only because he wanted him to witness you die by his sword." "That motherless traitor!" "Your Highness, we must advance to the capital now!" "Your Highness!" "Even if it brings us to our demise, we shall behead that treacherous scum, and pay back this effrontery." "Give us your orders, Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "If we attack the capital now, not only we will not save His Majesty, but we will all die." "We will only march to the capital... when our reinforcements from the Pyeongcheon Plains arrive." "His Majesty is on the brink of demise, and there is nothing I can do for him." "Even when my father is facing such adversity, his son can't do a thing to stop all this." "That's not true." "You made the right choice, as you are the Crown Prince first and foremost." "Should my decision bring tragedy to my father," "I shall never be able to forgive myself." "You must be strong, Your Highness." "That is the only way to rescue His Majesty, the lives of your soldiers and subjects, and all our people living in Jolbon." "I proclaim the Biryu clan chieftain Myeongjin as Daebo, and Gwanna clan chieftain Lee Su as Ubo." "Also, in accordance with the Council, the role of Sangga overseeing all chieftains... shall be entrusted upon His Majesty." "This country shall no longer lose itself in internal strife, and be daunted by its neighbors." "You chieftains shall aid me in quenching this bedlam, and becoming the shining light which leads our northern lands." "Yes, Your Majesty!" "Daebo." "Open the coffers of the Biryu clan and the royal family, and distribute grains to all our people." "It shall be done, Sire." "And, Ubo, you shall prepare to send envoys to all our neighbors." "Announce to all creation who is now sitting on this throne!" "It shall be done, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, striking Muhyul in Jolbon is of utmost urgency." "If you only issue orders, I shall bring you back Muhyul's head." "Your Highness." "The Hwanna chieftain is here." "Your Highness!" "Chieftain." "Punish your humble servants, Sire!" "What are you talking about?" "Everyone... you may rise." "His Majesty risked his life, and exposed all of Baegeuk's misdeeds." "But we did nothing, Sire." "Despite all the despicable ignominy Baegeuk committed, we held on to our lives and cowardly only witnessed all that." "We should have slain Baegeuk and rescued His Majesty..." "I know what you're feeling." "I know how that is even worse than demise, so how could I ever punish you?" "You may rise." "They couldn't be of help now, but if you strike the capital, many more chieftains shall join your cause." "My gratitude." "I am really grateful." "I shall join with the Jolbon army and strike the southern gates." "So, Hwanna chieftain, you strike the northern gates with the Central Guard." "Yes." "Our troops' morale might be high, but in this battle it will be crucial to infiltrate the capital discreetly." "Baegeuk deployed troops all around the capital." "We must make sure they won't hear our horses or see us." "I understand." "Bear this in mind." "Our strength might not be in numbers, but all our people are behind us." "We must triumph, and satisfy their ardent wishes." "Yes!" "The moment we enter the palace, you must immediately find His Majesty." "Yes, Your Highness." "Here..." "let us have a drink!" "Your Majesty!" "What is the matter?" "Muhyul infiltrated the palace!" "I shall take this sword and behead him!" "He will learn who now rules this country first hand!" "Your Majesty!" "You must find refuge!" "Let me go!" "How can I leave him here and run away?" "Your Majesty." "This way." "Don't let them advance!" "Drop your sword!" "Now!" "Drop your swords!" " Baegeuk?" " He already escaped." "His Majesty..." "Your Majesty!" "Muhyul..." "I knew you would come." "I trusted with all my heart... that you would come here." "Father." "Your Majesty." "We should take a brief respite." " Let's do that." " We will stop here briefly." "If we attacked Jolbon right away as I suggested, things would have never ended this way." "What do you plan to do now?" "I still hold this Heavenly Sword in my hands." "That can only mean becoming the ruler of the northern lands... still colors my future path." "Just wait." "I shall soon rise from this effrontery, slay Muhyul, and gain my throne back." "Muhyul regained control of Gungnae Fortress?" "That's right, Sire." "And what happened to Baegeuk?" "He fled the capital, and is still in hiding." "Then... the Heavenly Sword?" "Baegeuk took it while fleeing, Your Majesty." "Muhyul reconquered the capital." "He shall not go far, but now Goguryeo will stabilize." "When he learns of what happened to you, he shall briefly lament your loss." "But..." "As the Crown Prince, he shall soon forget you, and stay by the Crown Princess's side." "Just as he joined her in conjugal ties, while you were in Buyeo." "Hence, she shall soon bear him a child..." "Orabeoni." "Nothing you say will change what I feel for him." "As you say, I might just never meet that man again." "But, I'm with him right as we speak." "As his child grows inside my womb, he feels right next to me, even if he might be a thousand miles away." "Were you looking for me, Sire?" "Are you aware of what happened in Goguryeo?" "Yes." "You did go through meritorious efforts in rescuing me, but I shan't forgive you for not stopping Baegeuk's betrayal." "I shall give you a chance to cleanse those misdeeds from your legacy." "Your wish is my command." "Baegeuk carries the Heavenly Sword." "Head to Goguryeo right now, and find me that sword." "Then, I shall forgive you everything." "They might have joined Baegeuk in treason, but should they pledge allegiance to His Majesty," "I shall never punish them." "And I will also show how the Council will maintain its role." "You shall convey my wish to the entire country." "It shall be done, Your Highness." "Your Highness!" "His Majesty is critical." "Your Majesty!" "Father!" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Main Translator and Timer:" "MisterX" "Timing QC: julier" "Editor/QC: thunderbolt" "Coordinators: mily2, ay_link" "The thought of not protecting my father's achievements always troubled me." "I was always compared unfavorably to him, and people belittled me for gaining the throne thanks to a broken dagger." "Do you know what this is?" "This was all I had to find my father." "I thought all the clouds engulfing my heart would... disappear by meeting my father." "But it wasn't so." "My resentment for my father never abandoned my heart." "So I understand what you're feeling now." "Yeojin visited me in my dreams." "He appeared next to me, as if he was still alive." "I also saw Dojeol, and Haemyeong, bleeding to death." "All three of my sons... died right under my eyes." "Yet, I'm still alive and breathing." "Where would you ever find a father like me?" "Can you fulfill your father's wishes?" "It will only bring you misfortune and endless ordeals, but will you still follow my wishes?" "I shall no longer fear what fate has in store for me."
