"Let's go." "About 50 bodyguards and soldiers guard the migrants day and night." "About ten of them will join us." "We'll talk them into it by the due date." "No one must find out what we're up to." "Be careful." "We will." "Oi." "I heard Manho is here." "Go look for him." "OK." "The women and children will slow us down." "We need to buy some time to escape the army." "See if you can think of something." "OK." "Your Highness." "Manho's at death's door." "Why?" "What do you mean?" "What happened?" "He tried to escape with some other men." "The guards beat him up." "Where is he?" "Come with me." "Please, excuse us all." "Sir." "Do you recognize me?" "Your Highness..." "I wanted to see you before I die." "I'm so glad I got the chance." "Sir, you can't die now." "You have to get well." "We gathered you all to take you out of Puyo." "Your Highness..." "Go on." "I thank you with all my heart... for letting me fight the Han again." "Please forgive me... for ever doubting your intentions." "I should apologize." "I failed to lead you to victory... and I put you all through so much too." "But it will never happen again." "I'll take the migrants... and start a new Damul Army." "So please get well soon and help me out." "I see Commander Haemosu in you." "Please..." "Get back the land... and the glory we lost." "For the glory of the Damul Army..." "Sir." "Manho!" "Sir!" "Sir!" "Sir." "Sir..." "Manho!" "Sir..." "Sir..." "Sir..." "Mauryung, get some rest." "You might faint again." "How did it go?" "I tried to rid Puyo of the three-legged crow's energy." "But it was too strong and I failed." "Then what should we do?" "If that bird really is Prince Jumong, then we must kill him soon." "If we let it go and it takes to the sky... it'll become a stumbling block to Prince Daeso's future." "Actually, it might be worse." "It might even be the end of him." "Your Highness." "You must tell Prince Daeso." "It's too big an issue for you to handle alone." "I know." "But Daeso trusts Jumong too much." "After all, Jumong did save his life." "But we can't ignore what Mauryung said." "Mother." "We're all set." "Get ready to leave." "Jumong." "I'm not leaving." "I'll stay here with the King." "That's the least I can do to repay him for taking us in." "Mother." "If you stay, we might never meet again." "I know." "But I can't leave the King all alone." "Your Highness." "Is something bothering you?" "You look upset." "It's nothing." "We'll be leaving soon." "I need you to do something before we do." "I'm at your service." "Pick some trustworthy blacksmiths to come with you." "We need your steel swords if we're to fight against the Han." "And that means we need an iron chamber." "I know what you mean." "I'll gather some men to help me build an iron chamber." "Musong." "Soon after I leave with Oi, Mari and Hyupbo..." "I want you to follow with Mopalmo and Yesoya." "Can you do that?" "Don't worry." "What about Lady Yuhwa?" "What?" "You can't go?" "Why can't you go?" "Lady Yuhwa won't leave the King." "That means I have to stay too." "What'll happen when Prince Daeso finds out?" "He'll kill Lady Yuhwa." "You might get killed too." "No, you have to come with me." "I can't." "We'll be safe as long as the King is here." "This is driving me crazy." "You're all I have." "And you want me to leave you here?" "No way." "I won't do that." "Moo..." "Mooduk!" "Mooduk." "Jeez..." "Looking for me?" "Why were you tailing me?" "Who told you to do so?" "Tell me... or I'll kill you." "Your Highness." "You must come outside." "That's my bodyguard you're threatening." "How dare you?" "Why did you tell him to tail me?" "I'd like to know the reason." "Did you use him to spy on us?" "What?" "You might be Prince Daeso's wife... but to me you're a Han citizen." "If he tails me again..." "I'll kill him for spying on me." "Forgive me." "Get up." "Keep watching him." "If this happens again..." "I'll kill you myself." "I'll remember that." "Yangsullan is spying on me." "She might be watching you too so be extra careful." "OK." "We'll go south as soon as Daeso gives the order." "We'll change course after crossing the border." "Somewhere here?" "Daeso will have asked Songyang to help us transport the migrants." "That means we have to cross Piryu." "We then cross Juak Ridge, which lies between Piryu and Hyunto... and move westbound." "Juak Ridge is steep with many forks." "The soldiers will have a hard time hunting us down." "Where will we go after that?" "We'll take the migrants to Mt." "Bongye." "I want you to go and find a suitable place." " OK." " OK." "Daeso." "Have you heard of the three-legged crow?" "The bird that disappeared from Puyo's sun?" "Yes." "Yeomieul saw it once and said it would ruin Puyo." "She said it signified Haemosu." "But Haemosu is dead and gone." "He is." "But Mauryung saw the three-legged crow again." "She says its energy is everywhere." "Now that Haemosu is gone, who else would it stand for?" "It's Prince Jumong." "Daeso." "Jumong might be up to something." "Mother." "Do you believe Mauryung?" "Mauryung and the sorceresses lost their divine powers long ago." "They can't compare to Yeomieul." "I know how useless Mauryung is... but she's still the Sorceress." "You mustn't ignore her warning." "Mother." "Jumong is my loyal subject." "You trust him too much." "If he's my enemy, then why did he save my life?" "Perhaps he didn't want Sosuhno to get into trouble." "I know that too." "But he gave up his chance to take over." "If I can't trust him, then who can I trust?" "Still, it's what Mauryung saw." "Don't let your guard down." "I won't." "Your Highness." "Yesoya is here." "Tell her to come in." "Have a seat." "Did Jumong tell you he's leaving Puyo?" "Yes." "I called you to tell you something." "What is it?" "I'm going to stay and look after the King." "We might never see each other again." "We can't leave without you." "I've settled it with Jumong." "Don't bring it up again." "I want you to know why Jumong is leaving Puyo." "He's not leaving to save the migrants." "He's leaving to build a new nation." "I'm sure you know how tough it'll be." "But that's his destiny." "He must regain AncientJosun's glory and their land." "That's his mission." "I want you to help him." "Not only will you be his wife, but the mother of a new nation." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "You drew me a three-legged bird shortly before the war against the Han." "Can you tell me what it means?" "I first saw the bird 20 years ago, when I was Puyo's Sorceress." "At the time, it represented Commander Haemosu." "Although he's passed away... the bird never ceased to appear." "Its energy had been passed on to you." "You attacked Jinbun and Imdoon to carry on where Haemosu had left off." "But the bird has an even greater significance." "It cannot stay in Puyo." "It must leave Puyo's sun and soar to even greater skies." "And where it lands to build its nest... will be where you build your nation." "The nation of the three-legged crow." "Are you in?" "Come in." "What brings you here?" "I just decided to stop by." "Are you ready to transport the migrants?" "Yes." "We're ready to leave anytime." "Jumong." "Yes?" "Do you visit the King often?" "Sometimes, but he's not happy to see me." "I'm not surprised." "He won't like the fact that you're helping me." "The crown is and will be yours anyway." "The King should get used to the idea." "Do you really think so?" "I do." "I don't want any more bloodshed." "The people deserve some peace and quiet." "The King should step down." "Thank you." "Jumong." "You have too much on your hands." "I'll get Naro to transport the migrants." "You can head the Office of Diplomatic Affairs." "I'll take that position when I return." "No." "I don't want you to go through so much." "Do as I say." "OK then." "Your pulse is back to normal." "You can move around now but don't overdo it." " Thank you." " Your Majesty." "It's me, Jumong." "Come in." "How do you feel?" "I'm allowed to move around now." "That's good news." "Are you ready to transport the migrants?" "Your Majesty." "Daeso put me in charge of the Office of Diplomatic Affairs." "I wonder why he changed his plan." "What if he knows what I'm up to?" "If he does, then you're in trouble." "We should think of a plan other than leaving with them." "This is it." "Enough space for a few hundred." "There's a stream nearby so we have fresh water too." "So that's our new home." "Let's tell Prince Jumong." "Giddyup!" "Your Highness." "Good job." "Did you look into it?" "Yes." "We found a suitable spot halfway up Mt." "Bongye." "There's only one way in so it's quite secure." "When are we leaving?" "We have a problem." "A problem?" "Daeso told Naro to take the migrants and made me head of Diplomatic Affairs." "Didn't you refuse?" "I didn't want to make him suspicious." "Does he know what we're up to?" "Then he'd have done something about it." "Be careful until we think of a new plan." "OK." "(Han Capital)" "It all depends on your outlook." "You'll be bored and upset if you think you're a hostage." "Think of it as a holiday and take a rest, away from Puyo." "I'll do all I can to make sure you feel right at home." "If something happens, write me a letter." "Taemajin." "Taemajin will take care of you during your stay here." "(Taemajin)" "My name is Taemajin." "This is your bedroom." "This is your master Prince Youngpo." "Pay him your respects." "They are your maids." "Do all Han girls look like that?" "They make me even more depressed." "I'll select some beauties for you." "You're dismissed." "Your name is Taemajin?" "Yes, it is." "How long do you think I'll be a hostage?" "You're not a hostage." "I know many royals as well as men of power." "Befriend them and your stay will become a great opportunity." "An opportunity?" "You're right." "I must get back to Puyo and make everyone pay." "I'll meet anyone you set me up with." "See what you can do." "(Keru)" "Songyang is trying to make us his subjects." "He can't do that just because we couldn't arrange the tributes." "Songyang is out to get you." "My Lady, this is Sayong." "Come in." "Have you thought of something?" "However great a deal we clinch, we won't have enough for the tributes." "Then I guess you'll have to resign." "Do you have a plan?" "Puyo's salt comes from Gosan through the trade route we established." "Use the salt to deal with Puyo." "Isn't Baemang the Haengin warrior?" "He transports the salt from Gosan to Puyo." "I know." "I need to see him." "Go and bring him to Keru." "Got it." "My Lord." "What is it?" "Lady Sosuhno wants to see you." "Let her in." "How are the tributes coming along?" "I'm here to update you on that." "I'm listening." "I'll take the tributes to Puyo, just like you wanted." "No need to worry." "Jolbon will suffer if you can't keep your word." "If I can't keep my word..." "I'll resign as Keru's chief." "Very well then." "I'll let you take the tributes directly to Puyo." "I'll wait and see." "I should go." "Perhaps she's come up with a plan." "I know the mess they're in." "She's stuck." "Welcome, Commander Baemang." "Long time no see." "How are your men doing?" "Good, thanks to Lady Sosuhno." "What did you want to see me about?" "Lady Sosuhno is waiting." "Let's go." "Why does she want to see him?" "She's going to make him cut off Puyo's salt supply." "What?" "What if something goes wrong?" "Don't worry." "You want me to fight Puyo?" "I'm not asking you to fight." "With the right strategy you'll make an even greater profit." "(Baemang, Haengin merchant)" "We're in a very tight spot." "I need your help more than anything." "Please help us." "Very well." "I'd still be a bandit if it weren't for you." "I'll do all I can to help." "What do you want me to do?" "Ease up." "Leave me alone." "I can't stand being sober." "How do you think Prince Jumong feels about leaving Lady Yuhwa behind?" "You shouldn't be like this." "Jeez..." "I'll stay here." "You go ahead alone." "Come on, be a man." "Don't let her control your life." "Snap out of it!" "Dang..." "Mopalmo." "What are you doing in Puyo?" "I must talk to Prince Jumong in private." "Please call him for me." "Your Highness." "Wootae is here." "How have you been?" "It's been a while." "Are Yuntabal and Lady Sosuhno well too?" "Yes." "What brings you to Puyo?" "I'm here to ask for your permission on an important matter." "Lady Sosuhno wants to use the salt against Puyo." "But we need your permission first." "What permission?" "Lady Sosuhno can do whatever she wants." "We procured the salt thanks to your fate and our ties." "We can't just go ahead without your permission." "I'm sorry I can't be of any help." "Lady Sosuhno's determination got us to Gosan and back." "She can do whatever she sees fit." "Thank you." "This will help us a great deal." "Gosan..." "Salt?" "The migrants will leave soon but we don't have a plan." "Perhaps Daeso knows what we're up to." "I doubt it." "But as long as Daeso has a grip on Jumong... he won't be able to escape with the migrants." "Your Majesty, this is Jumong." "Come in." "Your Majesty." "Do you have a plan?" "My only chance is to mobilize the army." "Mobilize what army?" "You are in charge of the army but Daeso still watches your every move." "I have a plan." "What's that?" "I hope you didn't have too hard a time." "(Chansoo, Yuncheryung's son) I'm fine... but my mother had a hard time." "I'm not surprised." "Lady Sosuhno sent you two on purpose." "So, how are things with Piryu?" "Songyang has been giving Lady Sosuhno a hard time." "(Yangtak, Keru merchant) Hang in there." "We'll get our way soon." "(Yuncheryung, Yuntabal's sister)" "That's all I want." "I won't let Sosuhno take everything from us." "How did it go?" "We have Prince Jumong's permission." "You're free to do what you want." "Tell Commander Baemang to take action." "I will." "Your bodyguards are very impressive." "No matter how good they are, they're nothing if the gods forsake us." "What do you think about our Keru?" "Do the gods look favorably over our troubled tribe?" "Lady Sosuhno will protect Keru before the gods have to intervene." "You think Sosuhno will pull through?" "She'll do much more than just that." "She'll establish a nation much larger than Jolbon." "I think it's time I leave Keru." "Leave?" "Where will you go?" "To where the three-legged crow builds its new nest." "You wanted to see me?" "I have a favor to ask of you." "I'm listening." "Lady Yuhwa is ill." "The doctor says taking care of me has tired her out." "Forgive me." "I should have looked after her." "I'll do what I can to aid her recovery." "The doctor recommends she visit a hot spring to rest." "I'd like to go on an outing with her." "An outing?" "Looking after me did her in." "It's my turn to look after her." "An outing?" "Yes." "To a hot spring." "Why does he have to go?" "Don't let them go." "Mother." "It's to cure an illness." "Who knows what he's up to?" "The Queen is right." "What do you mean?" "The King could be trying to reach out to the people." "Once the people see he's well... they'll start to wonder why you're still his representative." "You must not let the King come in contact with the public." " Did you find anything out?" " Yes, I asked the doctor." "Lady Yuhwa really is ill." "We're ready to leave." "Just tell me when." "We'll have to postpone it for a bit." "I made the necessary preparations." "Thank you." "Naro and the best royal bodyguards will escort you there and back." "I don't need all that." "Please." "You never know what might happen." "I'll make sure the security is tight." "You can go with peace of mind." "Naro selected the best bodyguards to help him escort the King." "Everything is going as planned." "It's not over yet." "Check and make sure we're ready." "I will." "Mother." "You have a mission to accomplish." "Why do you look so sad?" "Please take care of yourself." "Forget about me from this moment on." "If I become a burden to you... you'll never be able to reach your goal." "Leave Puyo and don't ever turn back." "Forget everything about Puyo, including the King and me." "Focus on building your nation." "That's the last thing you can do for me." "Mother." "I hope you regain your health soon." "I'm sorry I can't escort you in person." "I'll take good care of her." "Don't worry." "Father." "Please..." "Take care of yourself." "I'm sorry I can't join you." "Cast off all your worries and come back in good health." "Thank you." "I hope you get well soon." "Make sure you take good care of them." "I will." "You may leave." "Let's go!" "My heart goes out to you" "Standing here by the river" "My heart goes out to you" "Standing here by the river" "If only you'd look at me once more" "If only you'd touch me once more" "I feel my tears mixing with the rain" "And wipe it away so no one sees" "I feel my tears mixing with the rain" "Yuhwa." "It's time for us to leave." "I'm ready." "Come straight to Mt." "Bongye with Lady Yesoya." "Got it." "Musong." "Why do you look so glum?" "Is something wrong?" "Musong." "Do you want to stay here?" "No, I'll go with you." "Then do what you're supposed to do." "OK." "What the heck are the meetings about?" "I don't know yet." "Shouldn't we tell Prince Daeso?" "He trusts Prince Jumong too much." "He won't believe a word we say." "We need concrete proof." "Keep an eye on him at all times." "I will, Your Highness." "Yesoya." "Mopalmo will escort you to Mt." "Bongye shortly after I leave." "OK." "It will be a rough trip." "I can endure a rough trip... but to think that you have to leave your mother behind..." "I'm sure you'll get to see her again." "Don't worry too much." "Thank you for believing in me." " Sounds good." " Your Royal Highness!" "We're in trouble." "What's the matter?" "Bandits have plundered the salt en route from Gosan to Puyo." "You asked for me?" "Bandits have plundered the salt on its way to Puyo." "We need that salt more than anything." "You know the trade route well." "Take some soldiers and get the salt back." "I will." "Let's go to the camp." "OK." "OK." "What brings you here?" "Naro is escorting the King so I'm here to take over." "Gather the migrants immediately." "We haven't heard of a change in plan." "You jerk!" "You don't believe me?" "That's not what I meant." "Wait while I check with His Royal Highness." "Gather the migrants." "We leave immediately!"
