"They made him blind." "He can't see me." "I have..." "I have his child." "I can't let him go like this." "I have to tell him I'm pregnant." "Your Highness." "They'll take him to the Capital in three days." "I see." "They'll transfer him in three days." "Give me some troops to rescue him." "I can't give you any." "Your Majesty!" "He made a mistake and ruined our plan." "I won't let you risk your life for him." "(Haeburu, King of Puyo) Leave." " Your Majesty!" " I said leave!" "Your Highness." "I have something to say." "What is it?" "Forget about rescuing Haemosu." "Prime Minster!" "He's a friend I treasure more than my own life." "(Kumwa, Prince of Puyo) If he won't give me any troops..." "I'll take what's left of the Damul Army." "(Prime Minister) Your Highness." "Haemosu was captured because he fell into a trap." "Do you know who set it?" "It was His Majesty the King." "He made that decision to avoid conflict with the Han... and save you and Puyo." "Your Highness." "Think about it and don't act recklessly." "Did you know about this?" "Did he consult you beforehand?" "Yes." "Kill me if you want to but I dare say he did the right thing." "Your Highness." "As long as Haemosu is alive you and Puyo will be in danger." "Haemosu!" "You must run!" "Leave in haste!" "I ruined everything." "I failed to avenge Lady Yuhwa and the Habaek tribe." "There's nothing I can do even if I make it back alive." "You must survive!" "You must survive, Haemosu!" "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "That's it, that's it..." "A little bit more." "A little bit more." "Come on." "Push." "Push." "Are you there, Chunrang?" "Yes." "Call the Prime Minister immediately." "How is she?" "She's fine and so is the child." "It's a boy." "It's a son." "You have a son, Haemosu." "Are you sure Commander Haemosu is dead?" "I'm sure." "What is it?" "The three-legged crow disappeared from Puyo's sun..." "Aren't you glad the threat is gone?" "But it didn't die." "Rather, it soared into the sky." "Since it's not dead, it can come back." "That's impossible." "Haemosu really is dead." "There's no way he can come back." "Step outside." "Congratulations." "He's a handsome child." "I'll never forget what you did for us." "I'll leave as soon as I recover." "Where will you go?" "I will bring him up as my son." "Your Highness..." "Please do as I say." "I can't do that." "I'll tell him about Haemosu when he grows up." "I'll teach him to live like Haemosu." "He's Haemosu's son." "Miss." "The Han is out to kill all the relatives of the Damul Army." "If they find out Haemosu has a child they'll do all they can to find him." "I'll go deep into the mountains where they can't find us." "And what can you teach him there?" "Can you raise him to be like Haemosu by making him hunt and gather herbs?" "He'll make it only by becoming my son." "Haemosu would want that too." "You must do as I say." "Leave us." "Father." "This is Kumwa, your son." "Do you recognize me?" "There's something you must know before you pass away." "Lady Yuhwa of the Habaek tribe bore a son today." "He's Haemosu's son." "The son of the man... you set up." "But he will become my son." "I will raise him." "He will fulfill Haemosu's dreams." "What did you just say?" "Lady Yuhwa bore me a son." "They're outside the Palace because the King is sick." "But they'll move in soon." "I thought you should know." "But it didn't die." "Rather, it soared into the sky." "Since it's not dead, it can come back." "You wanted to see me?" "I have an important matter to discuss." "Lady Yuhwa bore the Crown Prince a son." "Shouldn't we congratulate him then?" "Why do you look so glum?" "Lady Yuhwa was once with Haemosu." "So you think he is the child's father?" "It's a possibility we can't ignore." "(Jukchi, Chief General of Puyo)" "If he really is Haemosu's son..." "And he becomes a prince..." "He will threaten our future." "We can't let that happen." "How can we be sure who the child's father is?" "We must eliminate all threats to Puyo's future." "You want the child dead?" "This is an important matter that concerns Puyo's fate." "Carry it out in person." "You didn't tell me beforehand." "How can you?" "Please be more understanding." "(Crown Princess Won, Kumwa's wife) You'll become King." "You can have as many wives as you want." "But shouldn't I look into her character and temperament first?" "She's an upright lady." "There's no need to worry." "An upright lady?" "What upright lady gives birth out of wedlock?" "I must see her myself." " Princess!" " Your Highness." "You can't do this to me." "You weren't even in the Palace when I gave birth to our sons." "I didn't think ill of you because..." "I believed you would come back to us one day." "Your Highness." "What did I do wrong?" "Why are you treating me like this?" "Who are you?" "Haemosu." "This is your son." "Only you can be his father." "Help me, Haemosu." "She's dead." "We're migrants being taken to the Han." "Run away." "Now." "What are you doing here with a baby?" "I got lost on my way to Hyunto." "It's late." "You can't find your way in the dark." "I'll show you the way." "That won't be necessary." "But thanks for offering." "Lady Yuhwa." "Do you know me?" "Your father was the chief of Habaek." "Who are you?" "How do you know me?" "I am Jukchi, Puyo's Chief General." "I can't let you two leave." "Why are you doing this?" "What grudge do you have that makes you want to kill me?" "I have no grudge." "But you must die because of your ties with Haemosu." "I don't know what you mean." "Puyo joined forces with Haemosu to stand against the Han." "You two once worked together." "Why do you want to kill us now?" "Your death is near so I might as well tell you." "Haemosu died because King Haeburu set him up." "The King sided with the Han to prevent him from destroying Puyo." "That's why I can't let you or his son live." "I have one question." "Does the Crown Prince know this?" "Does he?" "No, he doesn't." "I guess your luck has run out." "Don't blame me." "What happened?" "We blocked all the roads but we couldn't find her." "She couldn't have gone far with a baby." "Find her." "Find her by all means." "Haemosu died because King Haeburu set him up." "The King sided with the Han to prevent him from destroying Puyo." "Who are you?" "I'm here to see the Crown Prince." "What do you want to see him for?" "Get out of my sight!" "This is his son!" "Escort me to the Crown Prince!" "Haemosu." "We're in the Puyo Palace, where your death was plotted." "This is where we will avenge you." "This child will fulfill your dreams." "Miss." "I'll do as you say." "I've named him Jumong." "Please take him in as your own." "I swear to the heavens." "No one will harm him for as long as I live." "Should the gods try to harm him then I'll fight the gods." "I'll teach him well so he can carry on his father's will." "(20 years later)" "Kumwa ascends to the throne, takes Yuhwa in as his concubine... and raises Jumong as his own." "Building on Haemosu's dream of restoring Ancient Josun's glory... he develops iron weaponry... and wages war to integrate surrounding tribes." "Through a series of conquests... he gains a large enough territory to threaten the Han." "Hurry up!" "Let's go!" "The Crown Prince is here with Princes Youngpo and Jumong." "Your Majesty." "How have you been?" "We're here to pay our respects." "What brings you here?" "Why did you come all the way here?" "You're risking your life." "How can we just sit around?" "The three of us would like to help you defeat the enemy." "I will behead the enemy's commander." "Aren't you proud of their high spirits?" "Your Majesty has been greatly blessed." "Is everything all right in Puyo?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "The people of Puyo are praising your great works." "It must've been a rough trip." "Is your mother well?" "(Jumong) Yes, Your Majesty." "How could he do this to us?" "Shouldn't he ask about our mother the Queen first?" "How can he ask about Lady Yuhwa?" "Daeso." "Did you see his expression as he looked upon Jumong?" "He's never looked upon me so kindly." "Stop it." "(Yeomieul, Puyo Sorceress)" "Hurry up and get ready." "Your Highness." "How are you?" "Your Highness." "You've lost weight." "It must be tough." "Away from home for almost a year." "Your Highness, I must go." "Aren't you glad to see me?" "Buyoung." "You're the only reason I came all the way here." "Your Highness, don't..." "Come on." "Your Highness, please." "Please don't." "Your Highness, please..." "We're about to go to war." "Where were you?" "Put on your armor." "I... have to go too?" "Then what?" "Are you here to have fun?" "Youngpo, I don't know how to use a sword." "(Youngpo, Kumwa's second son) Why you..." "Do you call yourself a prince of Puyo when you're afraid of battles?" "You're a disgrace to His Majesty." "Put your armor on at once!" "Daeso... (Daeso, Kumwa's eldest son) I know you can't use a sword." "But think how disappointed the King will be if you aren't there." "I'll protect you." "Don't worry." "Attack!" "Your Majesty." "It's been a year since we left Puyo." "The battles are taking their toll and some are even running away." "We can't go on for much longer." "We must withdraw our troops." "Hyunto's governor sent a note demanding we return to Puyo." "If not then he'll accept it as a challenge." "There's nothing to gain from such a conflict." "We must stop the expedition and return." "Yeomieul." " Yes, Your Majesty." " What do you think?" "Your conquest has doubled our territory." "We've threatened the Han enough." "Unless you plan to fight the Han you should withdraw." "The Younggo Festival is coming soon." "Hold this year's festival in Puyo with the people." "It's our duty to the gods for leading the battles to victory." "Very well." "I'll withdraw in time for the Younggo Festival." "But remember this." "I'm not afraid of fighting the Han." "If they try to oppress us or be unfair against us..." "I'll fight them anytime." "(Lady Yuhwa, King Kumwa's concubine)" "How do I look?" "Does my makeup look dull?" "You look beautiful, Your Highness." "I'd give all I have just to lose these wrinkles." " Your Highness, this is Youngpo." " Come in." "Welcome back." "I'm glad we went, as you suggested." "Daeso beheaded the enemy commander right in front of His Majesty." "What did I tell you?" "I'm sure His Majesty trusts Daeso even more." "Good job." "Your Highness." "Come in." "Where's His Majesty?" "Tell me." "He went to Lady Yuhwa's chamber." "It must've slipped my mind." "Being apart from His Majesty for over a year... made me forget he doesn't care for me." "Mother..." "I'm fine." "You must be tired." "Go and rest." "Your Majesty, go to the Queen's chamber." "It's OK." "I'll stay here." "Your Majesty..." "I have something to say." "I'm a sinner, living in luxury when my friend Haemosu died." "Your Majesty, don't say that." "No." "I went on those conquests to pay my dues to Haemosu." "I've enlarged our territory enough to be a threat to the Han." "Now we can face them as equals." "But I still feel like a sinner." "I feel like I haven't done enough." "Do you know why?" "I swore on Haemosu's name." "That I'd make Jumong a hero, one who would restore Ancient Josun." "But it breaks my heart to see him." "Why is he so spiritless?" "What can he do for the migrants suffering under Han's tyranny?" "Your Majesty." "I'm the sinner." "This is all my fault." "I didn't raise him properly." "No." "It's mine for not pushing him out of sympathy for his fate." "From now on I'll be harsh on him." "Endure it, even if it's hard to bear." "This is all I can do to express my feelings for you." "After I gain victory over the Han..." "I'll ask for the heavens' permission." "To let me live with you until I die." "What do you say?" "Who's that?" "My Lord." "What do you think?" "You have this." "My Lord." "You nearly killed my son." "Sayong!" "They're heavy." "(Yuntabal, Lord of Jolbon Keru) I stole them from Puyo." "Arm our guards with them." "I will, my Lord." "We'll sell the rest to Haengin." "Sosuhno will lead the troop." "My Lord." "(Kepil) She's too young to lead the team." "She has plenty of experience from following me around." "She's my daughter." "I'm sure she can close the deal." "Leave it to her." "I want you to help her." "(Sosuhno)" "Have you found him?" "He already left for the Shrine." "Let's go." "Buyoung." "What are you doing?" "I must go." "We have plenty of time before the service." "Let's talk." "I'll be in trouble if the Sorceress finds out." "Your Highness, please." "Have you given up being a woman?" "You have the right to love." "And marry any man you please." "Both my mind and body must be pure." "Oh?" "Then are all married couples impure?" "His Majesty and the Queen... and your parents too?" "Your Highness, that's ridiculous." "I'm late." "Don't you like me?" "Then why did you see me last time?" "That's because you threatened to enter the Shrine..." "Come on." "You're not being honest." "Was it really because I threatened you?" "You didn't want to see me?" "I..." "Your Highness." "Your Highness." "Your Highness, please stop." "Come on." "The festival begins soon." "Please let me go." "Promise me." "Promise what?" "That you'll see me again." "I can't." "I'll get kicked out." "We can keep it a secret." "We can meet at a secret place." "Please let me go." "The service is about to begin." "Promise me." "Your Highness." " Let's go." " Yes, sir." "This is bad." "What should I do?" "What should I do now?" "This is all your fault." "If only you'd promised earlier..." "I hate you, Your Highness." "What should I do?" "What should I do now?" "Where's Jumong?" "I think he left the Palace." "They couldn't find him." "Gods of the heavens, earth, wind and water." "I thank you for Puyo's four seasons... and the fertility of the crops and the people." "We owe you so much." "I offer you a small sacrifice to show my gratitude." "Please protect Puyo's people for years to come." " Where is he?" " I can't find him anywhere." "I asked the guards but he hasn't left the Palace." "Where could he be if he hasn't gone outside?" "Your Highness..." "What will His Majesty think?" "Go and look again." "I will." "How dare he not show up?" "You're spoiling him with your leniency." "It's a sacred day." "I'll take care of it so don't fret." " I shall leave you." " Why aren't you doing your job?" "If a prince is being unruly shouldn't you scold him into place?" " Leave us." " Your Majesty." "Am I wrong?" "Your words aren't, but your heart is." "My heart?" "You know what I mean." "You treat him as a concubine's son and not as a prince." "You dislike everything about him." "Are you saying he did nothing wrong?" "Are you that displeased with him?" "He's incompetent, rude and spoiled." "No one would call him a prince if he weren't your son." "Then shouldn't you be happy?" "If he's so incompetent... then he'll be of no threat to Daeso or Youngpo." "No one will doubt who should be King." "The two don't mean any harm." "Be merciful and take good care of them." "You've only seen half of what I think." "I hate the fact they're here at all." "Prince Jumong." "Go to your room." "I don't want to." "Youngpo." "I won't accept a brother who... sleeps in the storage with the Shrine maid... when he should be at the festival." "Shut up and get up." " Youngpo, I'll explain." " Let go!" "Youngpo!" "Youngpo!" "Is it true you harassed the Shrine maid?" "Your Majesty." "I didn't mean to." "I needed to tell her something but the door got locked..." "Your Majesty, he's a disgrace to the royal family." "You must kick him out." "Leave us." "Give me my sword." "Your Majesty." "I said give me my sword!"
