"Brought to you by D-Fansubs D r a m a F a n s u b s" "I heard that they found an important clue to discovering the Puddling Steel Method." "Elder Brother!" "What do you mean?" "I'm not really sure what it is." "I'm just just telling you all that I know." "You've done well." "Will they believe what I said this time?" "Brother Young-Po should believe you." "However Brother Dae-So has always been as cautious as a needle and distrustful of others." "But it won't last very long" "Does that chap really know how to make steel swords?" "I don't believe it." "Even the expert blacksmiths have tried their best for decades, but couldn't discover the steelforging technique behind the Puddling Steel Method." "How on earth did he..." "No matter what, if it's true that chap found the clue to the method, and subsequently makes a steel sword, wouldn't it be disastrous for us?" "Your Highness I'll go and bring the Ironware Workshop blacksmith here right now." "Go ahead" "What do you want from me again?" "Follow me" "Oh dear..." "Is it true that the Ironware Workshop has found an important clue to the secret of the Puddling Steel Method?" "Leader Mo Pal-Mo seems to have found something, but he hasn't told us anything yet." "How dare you!" "Any more lies and you'll be throwing away your life!" "How would I dare to lie?" "It's really the truth, Your Highness." "Alright." "You may leave" "We can't even kidnap Mo Pal-Mo and ask him." "It's extremely frustrating, Elder Brother!" "Elder Brother, why did you make Oh-Yi tell them you found a clue to make steel swords?" "That is just a punishment to both my elder brothers for giving Oh-Yi and me a hard time." "They're probably very anxious and perplexed right now!" "That's right, that's right!" "Elder Brother" "Actually, we wanted to serve you because we really hoped to get out of our lives in the slums and embark on the road to success." "Therefore, when you left the Palace again, we were hugely disappointed." "But now, we are ready to serve you for the rest of our lives." "Yes, Elder Brother" "If it was me, I would have never let Oh-Yi off after knowing what he has done." "But Elder Brother, you actually took Oh-Yi under your wing." "Elder Brother, even if it's not the road to success, we'll follow you along whatever road you take." "Thanks" "Your Highness, it's Bu-Young" "Come in" "Sit down" "I need to talk to you about the place that you and your siblings are going to stay in" "Oh-Yi will be there to look out for you, so just make yourself comfortable there." "I... would like Your Highness to let me stay by your side and serve you" "I can't allow that" "Do-Chi will continue to try to get you." "Even Brother Young-Po is concerned about your whereabouts too." "Listen to His Highness" "Those guys used you as a bait to lure Oh-Yi" "Now that you slid out of their hands, they won't just stand there and do nothing" "Whenever I think about the hardship you went through because of me, it seems to be due to a bad affinity with me." "Don't suffer for me anymore" "No, Your Highness Please don't say that" "Have you made up your mind?" "I'm going to reject Prince Dae-So's proposal of marriage." "Do you think Prince Dae-So's going to accept that easily?" "Looking at his character, I don't think he will just leave it at that" "Aunt" "I will make my own decision for my life" "With his pride at stake, Prince Dae-So won't back down so easily" "If So Seo-No doesn't accept him, he might threaten our trade clan." "I have thought about that consequence too, but what can you do if that's So Seo-No's carefully thought-out decision?" "Elder Brother, do you believe" "Ju-Mong will become the Crown Prince after the Crown Prince Competition?" "As of now, no one knows what Geum-Wa has in mind" "Song-Ju" "Yes, Your Majesty" "Go to Yeon Ta-Bal's trade clan and tell Ju-Mong to return to the Palace" "Yes" "Elder Brother!" "Elder Brother..." "Elder Brother, Father is looking for us." "He seems to have called for Ju-Mong as well." "Ju-Mong too?" "What exactly has happened?" "Perhaps... he's going to end the Crown Prince Competition?" "If Ju-Mong reports to Father about the clue about the secret to the Puddling Steel Method, he will have a great advantage." "Even Yoo-Hwa too?" "This is the first time he's summoned the three princes," "Your Majesty, and Lady Yoo-Hwa all at the same time." "His Majesty has arrived" "There's no need to be nervous" "I called all of you here just to see your faces." "Has the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs heard any news about the war between the Han Nation and the Southwest Yi tribe?" "Yes" "The last news I've heard is that they're on a long-term confrontation with each other." "Young-Po" "Yes, Father" "Even if the Han Nation is engaged in a war with the Southeast Yi tribe, do not let your guard down." "Any situation can arise anytime, so the soldiers must be trained and ready to cope with it." "Please do not worry, Father" "Right." "How are you doing in the trade clan?" "I'm learning a lot." "I don't know how long it will last, but the peace BuYeo is enjoying right now is due to the efforts of the three princes" "Whether big or small, all of you did your best to ease my burden how can I not be glad?" "Let's eat!" "Cheers!" "It's been too long since we got together like this." "I have been talking too seriously, haven't I?" "That's because Your Majesty is always worried and never gave your mind even a moment of rest." "You should bring the princes along for a hunting trip." "Father." "If we go hunting with you," "I'll catch a tiger and present the tiger skin to you." "Then my expectations of you will be as high as that of you managing to catch a tiger for me." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Speaking of skills, I've been curious about the martial arts levels that the three princes have achieved so far." "What do you think about getting the three of you to show your skills in a martial arts contest in front of me and all the officials?" "I really don't know what his intentions are." "If he wants to know the standard of the princes' martial arts, why can't he order the generals to compete with the princes one to one?" "Why does he want the princes to compete against one another?" "This contest is not held without reason." "After all, the Crown Prince Competition is still ongoing, so martial arts skills could be part of the deciding criteria in the competition." "Maybe this turned out for the better." "Although my skills cannot match Elder Brother's," "I'm sure I can beat Ju-Mong." "I'll take this opportunity to teach him a lesson." "Just wait and see." "I heard from your own mouth that Ju-Mong's martial arts skills are formidable." "Have you already forgotten what you said?" "Elder Brother, I meant that his present skills are formidable compared to last time, when he trembled in fear at the mere sight of a knife." "And even if he improved, how much can he have improved anyway?" "Elder Brother and I have been training for more than ten years." "Look at him, he's only been training for less than a year." "Don't indulge in self-conceit and embarrass yourself." "Train diligently from now until the day of the contest." "Yes, Elder Brother" "Do you understand His Majesty's intentions?" "He probably wants all the officials to directly see that you're not the old Ju-Mong anymore." "His Majesty has shown so much consideration for you, you must not disappoint him." "Please don't worry" "All this while," "I've been wanting to show His Majesty the skills that I have learned from Teacher too." " A martial arts contest?" " Yes" "The three princes are going to fight right in front of King Geum-Wa and all the officials" "Sounds interesting" "Who's most likely to win?" "Well..." "Everyone knows how good Prince Dae-So is, but I'm not sure about Prince Young-Po though." "I've seen Prince Ju-Mong's skills with my own eyes." "I really don't know who will win" "Even if you don't know, there's someone you hope will win, right?" "What are you trying to say?" "Let's have a bet, shall we?" "Of course, Miss will bet on Prince Ju-Mong, so I shall bet on Prince Dae-So." "I'm on." "How about two red jades?" "Great." "Step aside." "I'm no match for you." "Team with Young-Po to challenge me." "Hey Elder Brother." "No matter how lacking I am, aren't you a little too much to team me up with Na-Ru?" "There're eyes looking, you know." "Rest your worries." "Come forward quickly." "His skills are true to reputation after all, and seemed to have improved much from the past." "Now, Prince Dae-So has gained my confidence as well." "He is one who wishes to show everyone that this is no mere child's play." "Now it seems there's no doubt Your Highness must be the most skilled in BuYeo." "Even the General has acknowledged that." "You flatter me." "No, Your Highness really is a cut above the rest." "If I were to be compared to Father, who's better?" "Well.." "Your Highness seems to be a bit better." "The Prime Minister is being disloyal to His Majesty." "Bothmyeyescan 'tsee ." "But that isn't obstructing me in any way when I wield my sword." "Do you know why?" "The average person wields his sword by using his eyes to see, but the skilled swordsman wields his sword by using his body to feel." "Towards an opponent facing him,  a skilled swordsman can win by attacking behind him, where his opponent cannot see." "The moment you hold your sword, it's not about touching its cold handle, rather it's about the flow of blood and life-energy throughout your limbs." "It is the same also with the spear, the bow, and all other weapons." "Gather all your life-energy, and wield your sword again." "Elder Brother" "Rather than training alone, wouldn't it be a better idea to train against Oh-Yi?" "That's right, Elder Brother." "Fight with Oh-Yi, give it a try." "Shall we?" "Wow." "He's improved compared to the previous time." "And he seems to have given into Oh-Yi too." "Really?" "Elder Brother, please don't go easy on me." "Oh my..." "What are you doing in the middle of the night?" "I am in the midst of making an excellent sword." "Excellent sword?" "Do you mean that's a steel sword?" "No." "This isn't a steel sword." "But this is a sword that embodies the soul of me, Mo Pal-Mo." "I made this sword especially for Your Highness" "He says it's a genuine sword that he embodied his soul into." "Your Highness." "For the upcoming martial arts contest, you must achieve the best results." "Thanks, Leader" "I was rude the other time, please do forgive me." "Please allow me to invite you for a drink, and give me a chance to apologize for my rudeness." "This is really extraordinary." "Extraordinary?" "Why..." "Usually Miss doesn't get this polite." "This has never happened before." "Maybe... that means Miss likes Leader?" " Am I right?" " You guys are really..." "I have lived alone for so long, what are you talking about?" "Don't you know I don't like women?" "It's not what you're thinking." "After one look at her, there's no need to even think again... no way, no way..." "Why, this is the perfect woman for you, just give yourself a chance." "Leader!" "Your Highness, this is Na-Ru." "Come in." "Deliver this to So Seo-No." "Miss, this is Oo-Tae" "Please come in" "What's this?" "Prince Dae-So sent this." "What does it say?" "He invited my father and me to the martial arts contest held in the palace tomorrow." "Great." "I have wanted to see it anyway." "I placed my bet on Prince Ju-Mong, and Sa-Yong placed his on Prince Dae-So" "Father, you should place your bet too." "But there's only Young-Po left" "You want me to bet on someone I know will lose?" "Sa-Yong and I bet two red jades each" "You can just bet one" "Fine." "I'll trust Young-Po for today" "Thank you for coming" "Your Highness will be assured of victory." "It's a contest with my siblings, so it doesn't matter who wins" "Do refrain from getting injured, please be careful." "I'll see you at the drill hall" "Have you mentally prepared yourself well?" "Don't think I'll go easy on you because His Majesty favours you." "Don't try anything foolish if you want to avoid serious injuries." "I shall learn much from you, Elder Brother." "Hae Mo-Su!" "Prince Ju-Mong broke the TaMul Bow, BuYeo's sacred object!" "It's obvious that Prince Ju-Mong is not His Majesty's offspring, but that of General Hae Mo-Su!" "Like father, like son" "He's a master archer" "He wasn't aiming at the target, he was aiming at the heart of BuYeo" "Next, is the sparring contest." "Prince Dae-So has been known as the most outstanding in sparring and swordsmanship." "Therefore, in order to be fair for all, the winner from the match between Prince Young-Po and Prince Ju-Mong will then proceed to spar with Prince Dae-So" "Hey you." "Are you going to just defend yourself from my attacks forever?" "Fine." "I'll attack from now on." "Prince Dae-So and Prince Ju-Mong's match will commence after lunchtime." "Please take this, Your Highness." "Take it away!" "Finish it now." "There are times when you win, and there are times when you lose." "I'm sorry." "Useless fellow." "I told you not to treat this lightly." "If you listened to me, would you have ended up in such a pathetic state?" "It's not Young-Po's fault." "Ju-Mong's skills are astonishing." "Dae-So, will Ju-Mong be difficult for you?" "Please don't worry." "I am surprised" "Although I've seen you practicing, I didn't know you are that good." "Compared to Teacher, I am not that competent." "Are you referring to General Hae Mo-Su?" "Yes." "If you win today, I'm sure he'll be very happy too." "Stop!" "You can stop now" "It's not easy to judge who's winning here." "Tax Officer" "Yes, Your Majesty" "To the three princes who displayed their impressive skills today, they shall be reward with twenty rolls of silk each." "Yes, Your Majesty" "Your Majesty" "I haven't used up all my energy yet" "Please let us fight until someone wins." "That's enough" "You've done well" "He made you stop before you even had your chance" "His Majesty did that on purpose" "I should've known when he suddenly called for a martial arts contest among both of you and Ju-Mong." "He did it just to raise Ju-Mong's profile in front of all the officials!" "Elder Brother" "Please don't be too upset." "Although I lost, Elder Brother didn't lose at all" "To tie with that chap is as good as losing to him!" "Haven't you seen how shocked the officials were during the contest?" "Although your skills are bad, shouldn't you at least have some common sense?" "Stop it, will you?" "Prince Ju-Mong surprised me when we were at Hyeon-To City" "Now he surprised me again with his outstanding martial arts." "I've never seen anything like his archery skills, which seem out of this world." "What about the swordfight with Prince Dae-So?" "He was even with a prince whom everyone in BuYeo thinks is undefeatable" "Compared to Prince Dae-So and Young-Po, I thought he is weak." "I'm really surprised to see how he seem to have mastered those skills overnight." "I thought I was seeing His Majesty in his youth" "But, I think Prince Dae-So is still ahead in terms of swordsmanship." "I didn't think much of the contest, but the officials are getting more surprised than I expected them to be" "Once the immature troublemaker, Prince Ju-Mong is now winning their trust." "Please don't be too upset." "Opportunities will arise for us again." "Did you see the way Prince Young-Po fell flat on the ground?" "It makes me feel so good inside" "Prince Dae-So too." "If His Majesty hadn't told them to stop, Prince Ju-Mong would've won the match." "See?" "I've taught a fine student." "That's right!" "He was a fine student!" "That's nonsense!" "Nonsense?" "In case you didn't know, the one who taught martial arts to Prince Ju-Mong is none other than me!" "Hey you." "Why won't you believe me?" "You can jolly well ask Prince Ju-Mong directly." "You know what?" "I have been making swords for decades in the Ironware Workshop." "I made so many swords, I can tell a man's calibre just by looking at how they hold their sword." "And you." "You're perfect for a petty Ironware Workshop bodyguard" "What do you take me for?" "Anyway, I'm in a good mood today!" "Stop talking rubbish." "I'll buy drinks, so just follow me." "Drinks?" "Why of course..." "You've done well." "Although I know you have improved, but I didn't expect you to be this good" "All of these are due to my late Teacher's efforts." "Ju-Mong" "Yes, mother" "The Queen is trying to remove Yeo Mi-Eul from the Spiritual Palace, and appoint the Sa-Chul-Do priestess Ma Oo-Ryeong as the High Priestess instead." "Since Yeo Mi-Eul is wary of letting you become the Crown Prince, we could just watch her being ousted." "But if Ma Oo-Ryeong becomes the head of the Spiritual Palace, things will get worse." "Ma Oo-Ryeong is on the Queen's side." "Obviously she will support Dae-So's bid to become the Crown Prince." "I really don't know whether I should help Yeo Mi-Eul or not" "Is Na-Ru there?" "I need you to make a trip to Hyeon-To City" "Miss" "Please come in" "Miss" "Prince Dae-So is here" "Since you are working, am I intruding on you?" "Not at all" "Please take a seat" "I would like to have a drink with you." "That's why I came." "Is that okay with you?" "Set a table for drinking" "Yes" "Can you pour me a drink?" "I can't believe I embarassed myself after all that big talk in front of you." "You don't have to be embarassed" "Didn't the two of you end in a tie?" "I lost." "It was a loss." "I feel so empty" "I think you're the only one who can fill this emptiness" "How is it?" "Have you made your decision?" "Your Highness..." "I can't accept your proposal for marriage." "I already have someone else in my heart." "Who?" "Who is he?" "Is it..." "Ju-Mong?" "So it really is Ju-Mong" "It's Ju-Mong!" "It's not anybody else." "The one who captured your heart is Ju-Mong!" "I can't accept this" "No way can I ever accept this!" "I cannot lose you" "There's no way I can let you go!" "So Seo-No, you're already my girl" "Elder Brother, I knew you'd win." "You're the greatest.." "I think something has happened" "What brings you here at this late hour?" "Sit down." "I have something to tell Father." "Say it." "BuYeo's sacred object, the Ta-Mul Bow, is broken." "I know that too." "Do you also know that the person who broke the Ta-Mul Bow is Ju-Mong?" "The Ta-Mul Bow is the sacred object of BuYeo" "By damaging the divine energy of BuYeo, that chap has committed a grievous crime" "Morever, Ju-Mong lied to Father that he couldn't get near the Shi-Jo Mountain" "Is that the truth?" "It's definitely the truth" "Then what's your reason for telling that to me now?" "This is a serious matter and I am very worried." "For the sake of BuYeo's future, I decided to come here and tell you." "I see" "You may go now" "You went to tell His Majesty about the matter?" "Yes" "What did His Majesty say?" "He didn't say much" "It wasn't the right timing" "What did I tell you?" "Didn't I tell you to wait in order to use that matter as a secret weapon against Prince Ju-Mong?" "That was impetuous of you" "I also don't know why I did it." "Ju-Mong discovered the clue to the Puddling Steel Method." "And now, the officials have changed their views about him." "But I haven't achieved anything at all" "Prime Minister" "What should I do?" "The Ta-Mul Bow is the sacred object of BuYeo" "By damaging the divine energy of BuYeo, that chap has committed a grievous crime." "Morever, Ju-Mong lied to Father that he couldn't get near the Shi-Jo Mountain" "[Hyeon-To City]" "This is a letter from Prince Dae-So" "What does it say?" "Dae-So is requesting to know the secret of making steel swords" "He must be out of his mind" "How can he try to request for that!" "He's not talking about the steel swords that the Han Nation makes." "He only wants something slightly stronger than the sponge steel that BuYeo is making now." "But all of our iron-related weapon-making techniques are top secret" "By giving him the secret, I can receive something much more valuable in return." "Isn't this a worthwhile transaction?" "Wang Song-Eun" "Yes" "Together with Dong-San, make a trip to BuYeo" "Everything happening within the Palace seems to be advantageous to Ju-Mong" "If this goes on, Ju-Mong may possibly become the Crown Prince." "Your Majesty, You shouldn't just sit here worrying by yourself" "You should immediately carry out the plans you made out for Prince Dae-So" "Elder Brother." "Let's try to get Yeo Mi-Eul out as soon as possible, and appoint Ma Oo-Ryeong as the head of the Spiritual Palace" "You think I don't know that?" "But the High Priestess needs to be appointed unanimously by all the Sa-Chul-Do priestesses." "There wouldn't be any problem if the post is vacant" "But Yeo Mi-Eul is still alive, how can the other priestesses appoint a new one?" "Then what should we do?" "Even though His Majesty has approved tacitly, if we can't find a way, do you mean we should just sit here and do nothing?" "I'm frustrated as well." "Mother" "Are you sure His Majesty gave his tacit approval on this?" "Yes" "This is an opportunity bestowed by the gods." "If I can lessen the worries of His Majesty," "I will be able to restore my fallen prestige in a heartbeat." "A bestowed opportunity indeed!" "Although His Majesty knows that the Ta-Mul Bow is broken, he's still indifferent to the Spiritual Palace." "Due to His Majesty's distrust of Yeo Mi-Eul, the two of them are no longer on talking terms." "[Priestess Yoo-Sung from Jeo-Ga clan] If this continues, it won't be long before the Spiritual Palace disappears." "If priestesses don't have anything to do in the Spiritual Palace, the palace becomes useless, doesn't it?" "Please don't say anymore." "We are all frustrated." "If Yeo Mi-Eul and His Majesty's conflict cannot be settled, then do any of us priestesses need to exist at all?" "[Priestess So-Ryeong from Oo-Ga clan] Are you trying to say that High Priestess Yeo Mi-Eul should be kicked out of the Spiritual Palace?" "[Priestess Ma Oo-Ryeong from Ma-Ga clan] We are not taking sides now." "As the priestesses of the Spiritual Palace, we shouldn't get involved in any conflicts, but use our powers to be good counsels." "Your Highness" "How did it go?" "Did you come back with Yang-Jeong's reply?" "Yang-Jeong sent someone here instead." "The governor will accept Your Highness's proposal" "Is that true?" "But there's a condition" "What is it?" "The governor has a daughter" "He wants Your Highness to marry his daughter" "I heard that Chief has obtained approval from His Majesty to build an Ironware Workshop in GyehRu." "The BuYeo Ironware Workshop blacksmiths are already working on it right now" "His Majesty has spent decades trying to make steel swords comparable to the Han Nation, but because he didn't know the secret to the Puddling Steel Method, he has failed every time." "The GyehRu Ironware Workshop will be using BuYeo's ironmaking techniques, so the result will just reach the standard of sponge steel" "I would like to suggest a collaboration with Chief to make steel swords." "Chief!" "Prince Young-Po is here" "Welcome, Your Highness" "Gather some warriors with excellent martial arts skills" "May I know why you're doing this?" "That's not for you to know." "Just do as I say" "Yes." "You must keep today's mission a secret, and take it with you to your graves." "If this is successfully accomplished, all of you will be duly rewarded." "Do you understand?" "Yes!" "Your Highness should I call a girl to attend to you?" "Forget it" "Bring Bu-Young to me" "Well..." "What are you doing?" "Go and get her quickly!" "Actually..." "Prince Ju-Mong took Bu-Young away" "What?" "Do you know where she is now?" "What do you want to do?" "I asked you where is she?" "!" "I know" " Let's go" " Your Highness, you're very drunk now." "I'll will call another likeable girl to serve you." "Shut up!" "I'm going to get rid of everyone who has anything to do with Ju-Mong" "Whenever I think of how much I was humiliated because of him," "I want to kill every one of them!" "Han-Dang, what are you waiting for?" "Bring His Highness there quickly." "Yes." "Your Highness" "I'm going to spend the night with you" "Come over here" "Your Highness, please" "I said come over here!" "You wench!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "What is it?" "Well..." "Tell me quickly!" "What happened?" "Bu-Young is kidnapped" "Who is it?" "Who did this?"
