"Please do NOT hardsub and/or stream this episode using our English subtitles." "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 23" "It's done." "What happened to you?" "You were supposed to stay at the Sangga's residence, so why are you here in Buyeo?" "All the better." "Despite what happened, I at least brought you back to Buyeo." "If you can find safety here, I shall leave Goguryeo and come back any time." "Orabeoni." "Bring me back to Goguryeo." "The only thing that captures my thoughts is that man." "We first met when I was treating his wounds, and I continued to help him during these troubled times." "But, whenever I am with him, I can feel all my grieving throes disappear." "Without him, away from that man, I can no longer survive." "I beg you..." "Bring me back to Goguryeo." "Enough." "Do it for me, Orabeoni." "Just wait and see." "Wait and see how I!" "Will annihilate Muhyul right under your eyes!" "Until no traces of him are to be found inside your heart," "I shall destroy him!" "Dojin." "Isn't traveling incognito like this too hazardous?" "You're right." "Having to worry about my safety even in my homeland, that's my situation." "And it's only because of me that Lady Yeon went through all that." "But you were the only one I could trust and lean onto, so I came looking for you." "I think they might have brought her to Buyeo during the war." " The only way to save..." " Doesn't Your Highness know... what kind of situation I am in?" "I'm in no position to be able to do what you ask me." "Did you say you trust me?" "Fine, then." "At one time, I pledged to the heavens I'd share life and death with you, so if you can answer my question, I shall zestfully help you." "Should I find Yeon and bring her back to you, what can you do for her, Your Highness?" "The walls of this capital are brimming with foes wishing for your demise." "The closer to your side you keep Yeon, it is obvious the more danger she will only be in." "What do you plan to do, after you find her?" "Tell me!" "What is it that you can do for Yeon, Your Highness?" "!" "We are likely never going to get another chance like this, so, as a friend, may I give you a word of advice?" "What befits your title right now is not looking for Yeon... but protecting yourself." "If you still are enraptured by your triumphant victory, it is time you wake up from such chimeric fancy." "Bear in mind that the war still is not over, and that, even at this very moment, your foes might be staring at you." "I believed things would change, after the war was over." "But everything is the same." "I fought the flames of dissolution to gain this victory, but I still don't see the light kindling all this darkness." "I shall do whatever it takes to find Lady Yeon, so you must focus on your tasks." "His Majesty entrusted you with postwar settlement procedures." "What would be the meaning of such task?" "He certainly wishes to use this momentum to forestall the Council, and force them to acknowledge Your Highness." "It is only after you secure your position as prince... that you will be able to protect her." "Who are you?" "Aren't you the Chief of Security?" "I've escorted him." "Nobody shall realize the Sangga was brought to the palace." "Maintain scrupulous vigilance." "Yes, Your Excellency." "Your solicitude helped us tame the winds of discord engulfing our clan." "I am grateful." "Will letting Baegeuk go without reprisal be wise?" "It is something your humble servant shall cark himself with." "You need not worry, Sire." "What is the reason I received this cordial invitation?" "Sangga, you... observed the path I have taken to this day." "We did have our differences and contrariant sentiments, but you always gave me support in our external quandaries." "I want to believe we also share the same wishes at the moment." "Just like you aided me when Jolbon indigenous powers refused..." "*Early internal strife between Gyeru (Go clan of Jumong) and Sono (Hae clan of Yuri) to acknowledge me as their king*, will you give me your assistance one more time?" "I have a condition." "What is it?" "Among the people under Baegeuk's command is a man called Dojin." "Allow us to capture and question him, Your Highness." "We discovered he has ties with Buyeo." "An enemy general captured during the war mentioned his name." "And that wasn't the only questionable aspect we found out." "It would be wise to swiftly apprehend and question the man." "Dojin?" "!" "Where did I hear that name again?" "!" "Ah!" "Isn't that the man you knew, Your Highness?" "That's right!" "His Highness's compeer!" "What are you muttering about?" "!" "How can His Highness be a compeer of that man?" "Do you know that man?" "Dojin was with me at the Black Shadows' camp." "Black Shadows?" "!" "But why is he under Baegeuk's command now?" "Then, despite knowing his identity, you tried to conceal it all this time?" "Say something!" "Dojin renounced any connection with Buyeo, and is now living here." "He had good reason to turn his back on Buyeo, so do not bear fruitless suspicion about him." "How can I not suspect him?" "It could be a spy, infiltrating us under King Daeso's orders." "I understand you're trying to safeguard me, but that is nothing but feckless conjecture." "His Highness is right." "Accusing Dojin of espionage because of his ancestry alone... is a regretful conjecture." "I shall ensure his identity is now exposed, so you may placate your suspicions." "What are we going to do now?" "His Highness said he'll protect his identity, what else can we do?" "If he is truly a spy sent by King Daeso, then what?" "We must continue investigating, and dig into his motives." "Until we have no more reason to suspect him, we must not give up." "Discreetly continue to observe him." "Yes." "What's wrong?" "About Dojin." "I do trust him, but there is something concerning me." "Isn't it strange that he'd continue working for the Biryu clan, fully knowing Lady Yeon is no longer at the Sangga's residence?" "I am sure that is unlikely, but what if he truly is a spy sent by King Daeso?" "If he was a spy sent by him, would I still be alive by now?" "He had plenty of opportunities to slay me, so why would I still be here?" "That is true, but..." "Maro." "We must have faith in Dojin." "Remember when, because of our ancestry, we faced ostracism at the camp?" "Dojin was the only one to accept us, with no prejudice whatsoever." "Just as he did for us, we must trust him." "It's me, the Chief of Security." "You may come in." "His Majesty requests your presence at the council hall." "What is the matter?" "I am unaware myself, Your Highness." "His Majesty summoned not only the chieftains but all courtiers." "His Majesty deigns you with his presence." "We forewent significant adversity, but the drums of our triumph echo through these northern lands." "I... shall christen our victory as the pathway leading us past insurmountable ramparts... into a new era of conquest and subjugation for our nation." "If we are to achieve that, stability shall reign within these kingly walls, and unity shall be bolstered among our people, so I shall hereby proclaim our Crown Prince." "Then, who will be crowned between Prince Muhyul and Prince Yeojin?" "I shall crown the heir to my throne in a month." "I shall not pronounce myself on who will be crowned, but bear in mind that, whomever will be crowned, he shall join a woman from the Biryu clan in conjugal ties." "Chamgunnim." "Maro!" "Breathe, will you?" "What's going on?" " Have you heard?" " What?" "About the crowning ceremony, a month from now." "Crowning?" "!" "What are you talking about?" "That is the reason why His Majesty summoned everyone to the council hall." "He will proclaim the Crown Prince in a month." "Who is it?" "Prince Muhyul?" "I still don't know that." "Hey!" "Of course it will be Prince Muhyul!" "He's his oldest son, and showed great efforts in this war." "But, should His Highness be crowned, he will be forced to marry a woman he's never seen before." " What is that all about?" " So if he becomes Crown Prince, he'll be forced to take a Biryu clan woman as the Crown Princess." "I have heard it from Maro." "About Lady Yeon being taken to Buyeo, without leaving any trace." "You must not let this sway you." "It would be an inconsonant affinity, so forget her, and let our nation capture your thoughts." "Not even once... did I ever think walking this path would mean losing Lady Yeon." "The world I always dreamed about couldn't exist without her, and I thought it was something I could desire, even if I had to risk my life for it." "If you truly cherish her, you must abandon Lady Yeon." "Supervisor!" "Do you wish for her survival?" "Don't you realize loving you could bring her endless suffering?" "Just like what I experienced, she could be spending her entire life engulfed by sorrow." "You must make sure that doesn't happen." "No matter how painful and hard to accept it might be, you must cut all your ties with her." "Why are you so late?" "Here, here!" "Have a seat, Crown Prince!" "Crown Prince?" "!" "We don't even know whom His Majesty will choose." "Why are you getting ahead of yourself?" "What else is there to know, when it's so evident what will happen?" "You surely will be chosen by His Majesty, so you needn't worry, and all you need to do is prepare for your crowning ceremony." "What your uncle said is right." "We can't read His Majesty's mind, but it's easier to fathom... what the Sangga is thinking." "The promise to marry the Crown Prince off to a Biryu clan woman... can only mean one thing." "That harmony between our royal family and the Council is of utmost relevance." "Should Prince Muhyul be crowned, the chieftains' opposition would only grow." "That only means he will never be able to become Crown Prince." "All our wishes have come true." "The day when you'll be bedecked in royal garments is not far off." "But, the month separating us from that day will be crucial." "You must not lose His Majesty's favors by any means, so you must show prudence." "Understood?" "How could you join forces with King Yuri, without deliberating first with the Council?" "I carefully made this decision for the sake of our Council." "And why would this decision be for "our sake"?" "If things keep along this path, the King will only strengthen his position." "How can you expect us to follow such ill-advised judgment?" "Sometimes... you need to bow down to gain what you wish for." "Didn't you know?" "No matter how staunch your opposition will be, it shan't change my decision, so cooperate with King Yuri." "I shall choose firsthand a consort for the Crown Prince, so make all preparations." "Yes." "Were you looking for us?" "I still haven't made my final decision." "But what is clear is that one of you two will become Crown Prince." "Such position foretells who shall become the heir to my throne, so it also betokens you shall become father to all our people." "Hence, I shall give you a task to entangle." "Such task is establishing a new policy for the betterment of our people." "Since we shall put into practice your policies right away, it shall be prosaic... and to the benefit of all our populace." "Is that clear?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I've heard His Majesty entrusted you with a task." "Yes." "If a policy for our people is what he asks, isn't that the simplest of tasks?" "Simplest?" "!" "The credulous masses shall be enamored by any policy filling their bellies." "How can you say that?" "How are you going to fill those bellies, then?" "!" "Well, if that's the problem..." "This won't do it." "I shall summon erudite scholars to help you." "You must vanquish Muhyul at all costs." "How is trade going these days?" "Don't get me started." "I can barely get by." "You..." "What are you doing?" "!" "You little scoundrel!" "How can you steal my bread, uh?" "!" "You even eat it?" "You little thief!" "Spit it out, you little scoundrel!" "My gratitude!" "We're so grateful." "Don't make your children starve." "I am really grateful!" "May you be blessed." "Oh?" "Isn't that His Highness?" "Hey, you fools!" "We barely avoided a grave quandary, Your Highness." "Because of the war, the price of grains arose so much, starving people are all over the place." "Is there any way to relieve them from all this?" "Poverty..." "That's something even the palace can't solve." "Even if you feed them, nothing will change." "Giving them an occupation would solve it, but with the bad market, there's no work at all." "Even if they did employ them, they would have no money to give out." "If we don't do anything, the chances of Muhyul being crowned will only increase." "What is the Sangga doing?" "It seems like he's not concerned in the slightest about who will be crowned." "Shouldn't you tell him that Muhyul must not be proclaimed Crown Prince?" "Why wouldn't I realize that?" "But he doesn't even heed my words now." "We should at least use the chieftains to convince him." "Should the chieftains fail in their mission, we must use our last option, and stop Muhyul from becoming Crown Prince." "Last option?" "!" "They're Buyeo's Black Shadows, sent by King Daeso." "All they need to stake their lives is your command." "Get through that acclivity, and you shall find His Excellency's tomb." "The Chief Retainer gave us orders to escort you back." "What is the matter?" "Your Majesty." "I brought Yeon back." "You brought back Yeon?" "!" "From Gungnae Fortress, you mean?" "Not there, Your Majesty." "Yeon was in Buyeo Fortress." "Prince Dojin was furtively protecting Yeon." "Dojin?" "!" "I can't understand a word you're saying." "If he brought her back to Buyeo, he should have alerted me first." "Why did he do it furtively?" "It appears His Highness had for a long time... been infatuated with Yeon." "It means his devotion for her was serious enough... that he would even dare to defy your command, Sire." "Bring Yeon to me." "Come closer." "I said I'd welcome you back." "Why did you refuse to return?" "I used to resent Your Majesty for not even allowing my father to prove his innocence." "But I tried to forget all that." "Because not harboring any resentment or hatred for what you did... was my father's final wish." "I feel abashed." "How feebleminded I was." "I should have acted with more prudence." "But my fear of being betrayed by a treacherous dagger... pierced through the gates of my own soul." "Only by losing him did I finally realize how much..." "I needed Tak Rok's unbending fealty." "There is nothing that can sweep away the bloodshed my fatuity caused." "But I shall at least reinstate your title, and pay you back for all my misdeeds." "Your Majesty." "What I wish for is not regaining my title." "I do no longer wish to live as a princess." "I shall forget my noble past, and live as a normal woman, so may you allow me to leave." "Where do you wish to go?" "Is Goguryeo where you're headed?" "I couldn't believe what I've heard about you and Muhyul, but it must indeed be the truth." "But!" "Whatever your heart moves you to do, it doesn't concern me." "It is all in the past, so come back to where you belong." "Your title of Princess will be reinstated, and you shall live here in the capital." " Your Majesty!" " No more!" "Shall you defy my command." "From this day onwards, abandon all ties unbecoming... of your royal bequest." "His Highness?" "He hasn't moved from his quarters for three straight days." "I am curious myself what His Highness's new policy will be." "The only one who can soothe our people's torment is Prince Yeojin." "He needs no comparison, particularly if it's someone of... rootless upbringing as Muhyul is." "If you are to choose an heir, it must be Prince Yeojin, Sire." "Allow me to dissent, Father." "It was Prince Muhyul who brought us our triumphant win over Buyeo." "You must choose him as our Crown Prince, and abate our people's concerns." "Abate?" "!" "All our people feel about Muhyul is dread for... the nefarious star he was born under." "We already exposed how someone concocted this so-called curse." "But are you still willing to lay all inculpation upon Muhyul?" "Concocted curse or not, the problem is what our people believe." "Even certain royals are spreading such vilipending hearsay, so it is no surprise our people would still be influenced by that." "That's enough!" "At this momentous juncture, when we are about to choose... the future befalling our country, what are you doing?" "!" "Bear this in mind." "Every courtier, chieftain, man and woman in this country... is observing us as we speak." "Should this important choice foment the slightest strife within these walls," "I shall not forgive the culprit, whomever they might be!" "Have you found it?" "Did you really, Your Highness?" "I don't know if His Majesty will like it." "You spared no effort, so His Majesty will certainly appreciate it." "Let us go." "I wish you luck, Prin..." "Crown Prince!" "I do agree using carriages to improve trade would be beneficial, but we would need roads for that." "Yes." "If we connect the capital with all the trade centers around us with roads," "*Amnok/Yalu River and if we even take advantage of waterways such as the Amnoksu*," "Gungnae Fortress could become the core connecting north with south." "But, if you need roads, you also need labor to build them." "If we force people to undergo such precipitous endeavors, we might turn them against us even more." "All we need is to pay them for their labor." "Pay them?" "!" "There is no precedent indicating we ever paid for labor, and because of war expenditures, our finances wouldn't even allow that." "That money will be paid by the chieftains holding trade rights in the capital." "In other words, the Biryu clan will pay, as they hold all trade rights in the capital." "Your Majesty." "Does this make any sense?" "They don't even pay their due levies." "Would they possibly finance our labor costs?" "It's nonsense." "Her Majesty is right, Sire!" "This is nothing but an unrealistic vagary, Sire." "I shall make sure the chieftains agree to this policy." "Your Majesty." "How can the same chieftains who refuse to acknowledge Prince Muhyul... possibly agree to follow one of his policies?" "Enough." "I shall be the one to decide, so that will suffice." "Let us see Yeojin's policy, now." "How do you explain this?" "!" "This is completely empty!" "That..." "That's impossible, Sire." "Prince Yeojin has spared no effort to..." "What is all this about?" "Yeojin." "Speak to me!" "This scroll is empty!" "I reflected upon what Your Majesty ordered time and time again, but nary a thought blessed my mind." "Your Highness!" "What I realized, heeding your command, is the mere fact I am not fit to represent this country's future." "May you forgive me, Your Majesty." "You what?" "!" "What did you just say?" "!" "That facetious wench is making His Highness's resolve swagger." "The reason Prince Yeojin couldn't make up his mind... is because of that Yeonhwa, as well." "Your Majesty!" "You yeasty slattern." "Do you expect to survive, after swaying Yeojin's resolve?" "!" "Ahh... that..." "What are you talking about?" "!" "Does it make any sense he would refuse to become Crown Prince because of you?" "!" "Throw this wench out of the palace!" "Forgive me, Your Majesty!" "Just allow me to remain inside the palace, Your Majesty!" "You still dare!" "Even if I can never serve His Highness again, please allow me to stay!" "Just allow me to see His Highness, even if only from afar!" " Your Majesty!" " What are you waiting for?" "!" "Get this wench out of my sight right now!" "Yes!" "Your Majesty!" "Wait, wait." "Stop there!" "Since we're here, why don't we slay that wench?" "That would swiftly make His Highness realize his call." "Sangganim!" "Have you heard?" "Should Prince Muhyul be crowned, he will help the people with our funds!" "I am aware." "Whatever it takes, we must prohibit his crowning." "Or should we fail to find a way, even get rid of him." "Will you engage in injudicious misdeeds once again?" "!" "I shall take care of this, so you needn't interfere." "Your Majesty." "The Sangga is seeking audience." "He may enter." "What brings you here?" "I'm here to alleviate your anguish regarding this crucial decision." "You may speak." "What you must consider in choosing our Crown Prince... is none other than His Highness Prince Haemyeong." "As you well know, every time one looks at Prince Muhyul, you can feel Haemyeong's soul echo inside him." "And what you're saying is..." "Should he become our Crown Prince, our nation will once again be swept by endless variance, and that will defeat every and all grandiose purpose of yours." "Then?" "Prince Yeojin must be crowned instead." "Nobody can take away Prince Muhyul's meritorious efforts in this war, but the chieftains refuse to acknowledge him, and our people still are daunted by his nefarious fate." "Aren't you favoring Yeojin because he will be an easier target for your machinations?" "Your Majesty." "We will never be able to work together for the sake of our nation... until mutual confidence bedecks our every move." "If you still can't trust me, this meeting of ours was wrong to begin with, don't you agree?" "Should I still favor Muhyul?" "Then, something you are not prepared for may befall your throne." "Whatever reason I give them," "I will have neither the confidence nor any just cause to stop the chieftains, and the flames of discord shall swelter us all." "Your Majesty." "I escorted him." "We need to go somewhere together." "I will summon the guards." "No, there is no need for that." "His Majesty took Muhyul and went outside the palace?" "!" "Where on earth were they headed to?" "We couldn't learn their destination." "I wonder if His Majesty is starting to favor Muhyul as his heir." "This Amnoksu... is a place where a young king shed bloody tears of regret, aimlessly staring at the people betraying his faith, and leaving this place... after he failed to conquer their hearts." "I was a mere twenty years old, and my enthronement divided Goguryeo in half." "From that day onwards, the thought I could never regain what my father conquered haunted my sleep." "No matter how much my efforts showed otherwise, the world always chastened me for my weakness, compared to my father." "They even belittled me, saying a broken sword bestowed the crown upon my head." "Now, I wish to... walk beyond the shadows of my father's legacy, which beclouded my every move in perpetuity." "This is my chance to finally unify our entire nation, and become the stalwart of these northern lands, surmounting all of my father's achievements engulfing my soul." "What is it I must do, Sire?" "I plan to proclaim Yeojin as this country's Crown Prince." "The reason I chose Yeojin... was certainly not because you lack any skills, or because I don't cherish you enough." "I couldn't choose you to be the heir to my throne... because I'm not powerful enough to subjugate the chieftains." "I don't have any power to do that, so all I can do now is join forces with them." "If I am to achieve that, I need a crown prince who can unify the court, and Yeojin is the most suitable man for that." "Will you aid Yeojin, and help your father's wishes come true?" "Yes." "I shall follow your wish." "Your presence will always be cumbersome for Yeojin, so I will not be able to keep you in the capital." "You will constantly have to escape the claws of demise, and only endless sacrifices will knock at your gates." "But... you will still follow my wish?" "I will." "If it can help this country's future, I shall gladly sacrifice my life, so may you use me as you wish." "I consider this as a duty befitting my title, and shall therefore follow your wish." "Whichever ordeals may befall me, allow me the resolve... to never resent anyone for that." "May you devour all the desire and resentment besmirching my soul." "You don't even know why they summoned us, Supervisor?" "Maybe a very important announcement is on the horizon." "Like what?" "That Prince Muhyul has been crowned, something to that extent." "Didn't His Majesty and the Prince recently leave the palace together?" "I am sure of it!" "Is that true?" "What Chubalso said is indeed true, but it is hard to see that as any proof of his upcoming enthronement." "Still, in these troublesome times, they couldn't have gone hunting." "I shall head for Jolbon, so make all preparations." "I plan to travel around the border." "But, soon His Majesty will announce the crowning." "What is the reason you suddenly wish to head for Jolbon?" "His Majesty will crown Prince Yeojin." "I plan to help him until the day he inherits the crown." "That is one of the reasons I'm going to Jolbon." " Your Highness!" " Even if I won't be the Crown Prince, what we need to do has not changed." "I already erased those words from my mind." "I trust you'll understand my wish, and never mention it again." "This is inadmissible." "How can His Highness Prince Yeojin be crowned?" "How about you seek audience with His Majesty, Supervisor?" "Should Prince Yeojin be crowned, how are we going to... control the Council, and stop Buyeo and the Xin's advance?" "If His Highness can't do it by himself, we must help him." "Supervisor!" "Whomever is crowned, all we need to do is focus on our tasks." "Those are Prince Muhyul's wishes." "What is the matter?" "Yeonhwa has disappeared." "I came here, since I knew you'd be aware of what happened to her." "Are you out of your mind?" "!" "In no time, His Majesty will announce the new Crown Prince." "Should you waste your time looking for a trifling servant?" "!" "I know you're trying to hide her from me!" "You must tell me." "Where is she?" "I'll have to slay that wench, to finally make you come to your senses." "How dare you refuse what belongs to you because of a worthless servant?" "!" "If you truly refuse to erase that wench from your mind, her demise shall do that job for you!" "This is all for your own sake, so go back to your quarters!" "For my sake?" "You always engage in such utterances, but you always lived for no one but yourself!" "If I can't become Crown Prince, it only means I'm not suited for it." "But, why are you blaming an innocent person for all this?" "!" "It's because you always try to shield me from everything... that people deride me for not escaping from your shadows!" "Yeojin!" "Listen clearly to what I say." "Should anything happen to Yeonhwa, you will never see me again." "The Xin will send a delegation." "A delegation, Sire?" "!" "Leaders of their elite troops will also join the delegation." "It is a most sagacious decision, Sire!" "Should we be able to let both countries' troops train together, we shall go beyond a simple strategic alliance." "You shall join Dojin and welcome them." "Your wish is my command, Sire." "I asked for an armed delegation just as you suggested, but I never imagined the Xin would so swiftly agree to my proposal." "They must have realized Buyeo's stability can only affect them positively." "*Non-Han, Manchurian tribal federation;" "descendants of the Donghu" "Should we join forces with the Xin, and pressure both Xiongnu and Xianbei*, they will abandon Goguryeo, and submit to your might." "I shall leave now, Sire." "Wait just a moment." "There is someone I want you to meet." "Send her in." "Why didn't you tell me of your devotion for Yeon?" "I shall take care of Yeon here inside the palace." "When you complete your task in Goguryeo," "I shall allow you to join in conjugal ties." "Now I couldn't bring you back to Goguryeo even if I wished to." "But, isn't this the place where you belonged?" "What is this task His Majesty talked about?" "Your settling with the Buyeo clan was another lie, right?" "He still thinks of you as his compeer." " How can you keep beguiling him..." " The one who beguiled us... was none other than Muhyul." "As long as you keep remembering him, my resentment for Muhyul will only grow." "Your Highness." "There is something more urgent than your trip to Jolbon." "An armed Xin delegation?" "!" "What is that supposed to mean?" "According to our spies there, Xin troops will soon be deployed to Buyeo." "Then, does that mean Buyeo and the Xin will train together?" "There is a strong possibility." "We shall take care of this, so you may go to Jolbon as planned." "Where is this delegation headed?" "Your Highness." "Why do you think the Xin and Buyeo would undergo a joint military drill?" "Wouldn't it be as preparation for another attack on Goguryeo?" "Speak to me." "Where is that delegation headed?" "How long will it take until Buyeo's borders?" "Half a day." "Yonggol Fortress is not far from here." " After we ask for reinforcements from..." " Their troops would only join us... after the delegation crosses the border into Buyeo." "Then, should we act now?" "Your Highness." "Isn't that Muhyul?" "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Please do NOT hardsub and/or stream this episode using our English subtitles." "Main Translator  Timer:" "MisterX" "Timing QC: julier" "Editor/QC: thunderbolt" "Coordinators: mily2, ay_link" "I shall now announce who will be our Crown Prince." "Goguryeo's Crown Prince... is Prince Muhyul." "Prince Muhyul shall join in marriage with a woman from the Buyeo clan, so make all preparations." "Why is it me?" "Why are you trying to sway my resolve so much?" "Prove to them that the heavens didn't forsake you, but they chose you." "I came to tell you that, since you will soon marry a Biryu clan woman, you should now cut all your ties with Yeon." "Tell me the reason you wish to become Crown Princess." "There is only one reason." "Because it will lead me to become Empress." "Your Highness will be satisfied as well." "My name is Yiji." "A delegation from Buyeo has arrived." "My deepest congratulations, Your Highness." "I bid you welcome."
