"That day, you set off on a long journey." "That night, someone comes looking for you." "The person will plead with you." "Please don't ignore that plea." "That day you must go back." "Only that way can that man live." "Also that same morning the child breaks a medicine bowl." "And what else that day?" "Right." "By the window sill, chrysanthemums were in bloom." "On that day don't send that man away." "A trap awaits that man so, Eun Soo, don't let him leave." "Take this message." "Tell that Prince Deokheung" "High Doctor from Heaven wants to see him immediately!" "What's so urgent?" "Are you planning to kill Choi Young today?" "It's true?" "You really are?" "How did you know?" "So it was true." "I told you not to touch him!" "You agreed!" "I did as you asked." "That criminal broke into the palace and poisoned me, the king's regent." "You said to send that guy out of the palace unscathed so I complied." "Today's trap." "What is it?" "Where?" "You know it's a trap?" "Where is it?" "Where do you plan to kill him?" "How do you know he walks into a trap today?" "I won't fret." "That trap will spring soon." "It's in the back of my book." "Save that man." "What is that book?" "How could today's trap be in there?" "How ridiculous." "I'll do anything." "I'll do anything you ask." "So please." "This house, today's escort." "Who else knows?" "Only we know." "Is this seal so vital?" "Look here." "The people made it." "And it can be made again." "Do those sneaking punks outside want the seal or another aim!" "What punks outside?" "Teacher, where'd that Scholar go?" "Who's that?" "The house owner." "We recently began meeting here." "Where did he go?" "Stay there." "Choi Young is hard to kill." "Prince of the Court taught me that guy's weakness is honour." "He won't abandon folk if his honour's at stake." "So we used his honour to set the trap." "So you'll kill him?" "He's no longer Wudalchi." "He's a criminal on the run." "He won't attack unless he's forced." "Why must you kill him?" "Because he's in the way of making you my person." "What?" "I must have you to have Lord Dukseong." "Explosive powder was laid in the house where he went." "A single spark means the end even if he has nae-gong." "What must I do for you?" "You and I...should marry first." "What?" "Marry a royal like me and you can be Queen." "This letter is a command to halt the trap." "There's little time left." "Is that all?" "Just marry you?" "Let's do it." "What are you doing?" "Get out of the way!" "The Captain got out safely." "Suribang guys joined him." "She asks if you want to know more." "It's enough." "If he's safe, it's enough." "What brings you here?" "Prince Deokheung sent these to High Doctor." "He requests your company this evening." " For what?" " We will collect you." "What's going on?" "I...agreed to marry Prince Deokheung." "What?" " Anyone wanders in?" " The King wants an open door." " Spies and assassins?" " Use vigilance and instinct." "His Majesty is waiting." "I'll go now." "Wait." "Yes." "Thank you for bringing us safely." "I'll be on my way." "Your Majesty." "You had trouble coming here." "Please sit." "How dare we sit with you?" "See?" "I said learned people wouldn't do it." "Old, young, women, men, even slaves, sit there." "Don't decline." " Why don't you aid me here?" " Aid?" "I'm compiling a list of slaves of the past decade." "Slaves?" "I will overturn the status of citizens demoted to slaves." "You may start with those records." "We came to deliver the seal of Goryeo." "I heard." "I don't like it." "Something's strange." "So they trapped you to blow you up?" "They were on the verge but just disappeared and left the laid powder." "What's it mean?" "Was it the Court Prince?" "Would the Court Prince kill a few statesmen with such a complicated method?" " Then Prince Deokheung." " Just to destroy a seal?" "Or to kill you, brat." "Was that it?" "Those advisors were bait." "You were prey." " Why me?" " I wonder." "And why's security here lax?" "I'm not liking it." "We're careful when the King goes on the streets." "Go where?" "The king and queen go everywhere." "They're driving Wudalchi and Mugakshi crazy." "Yesterday they wandered all over the hills!" "Not liking it." "But where's High Doctor?" "Why isn't she with you?" "Weren't you together?" "What's with you?" "Huh?" "Well, just..." "I'm unsure what to do after this." "The Councillors created this Goryeo seal." "This is your excuse to check on me." "Is the absconded King truly mad as rumour says?" "Is he so feeble-minded, he delegated his uncle power?" "What else?" "They will send a report to the Yuan emperor." "They're deciding which king to support." "You fear being caught in the middle." "You even called the man you cast away to guard you." "That man has no pride." "I agree." ""Seal of the King of Goryeo"." "Excellent." " Do Chi." " Yes, Your Majesty." "With my new seal, I'll issue my first decree." "I reinstate Choi Young to office for these reasons." "Choi Young saved the queen in Jo Il Shin's revolt and played a crucial role in guarding the king." "I absolve him of all crimes." "Seoyong. (reappoint offender to office)" "Are you watching?" "You're alone?" "No guards?" "I said I'd come alone." "Have a seat." "Your Majesty isn't safe." "You let anyone in, you come and go and dismiss your guards." "Shall we make our way to the palace?" "Not till Prince Deokheung is gone." "He has 2000 palace soldiers and uses poison." "Do you know how hard it is to guard against a poisoner?" "Is this amusing?" "Whether Wudalchi or wrongly accused criminal, whether I trust you or not, how do you never change?" "Tell me about it." "Do you still wish to leave the palace?" "I forgot that a while ago." "With the new seal, I decreed 'Seoyong'." "I promoted you from level 4 to level 3, new rank, Hogun (General)." "Your Councillors won't approve." "I may dismiss you or exile you any time because I am King." "Yes." "Still, I hope you stay by me." "I'm sorry for giving you rank and title again." "A message from Doctor Jang?" "Hurry and read it." "What's he say?" "Give it to me." "High Doctor will marry Prince Deokheung." "What's he saying?" "How..." " Should you not tell him?" " What?" "Should we not tell Captain?" "What is it?" "What's what?" "What is it?" "What you must hide from me." "High Doctor... is getting married to Prince Deokheung." "I don't know details but Doctor Jang says she agreed." "Don't joke." "Doctor Jang is concerned." "He's unsure what High Doctor is thinking." "She's getting married?" "To that bastard?" "It seems so." " Aunt." " What?" "Get me formal papers to leave my new post." "I'll go." "Those punks aimed for your life." "If you go, it's dangerous." "I will go." "Will you be alright alone?" "I'll be back."

"How do I look?" "Imagine me in king's robes." "So tell me." "I only see a guy with narcissistic personality disorder." "Greedy for success, does anything to get it, lacks empathy." "Many with that disorder think they're geniuses." "Then let's do this." "Forget all between us." "Let this be our first meeting." "I can forget you poisoned me since I'm no longer in pain." "But I can't forgive you for trapping that guy." "Seeing you will always remind me." "You should hide such feelings." "It's a big weakness." "Let's go." "Where is she?" "..." "Inside?"

"An antidote every three days, seven times." "I knew then." "And my book, you only gave me half?" " So that was it." "The other pages." " Yeah, that!" "When will you give me the rest?" "Tell the truth." "What's written there?" "It says you can never be king." "So don't dream in vain." "just leave." "How will you tell me the truth?" "Give me the rest, I'll let you know." "How about this?" "The night we marry, I'll give it to you." "It's dangerous." "Stop them." "People are getting hurt!" "Your hand!" "Remove it." "Stop." "He's a General." "I will ask you." "You agreed to marry him?" " Yes." " Why?" "That..." "However bold you are, this is the palace and I am Regent." "Eyes are watching." "Be quiet." "I'm talking to her." "If you draw that sword, it's treason." "Just go back today." "I have reasons." "Those reasons...was it my life?" "Three days ago, I almost died." "Was that this man's condition?" "Else you have no reason to do this." " Is that it?" " If it is?" "You'll never menace her again!" "Don't do it!" "Don't." "Let's go." "Leave...with me." "The wedding is a month away and the portal opens before it." "I think too!" "Call that thinking?" "I have things to do here." "Tell me." "Do it with me." "You wanted to run away from the start." "You faced death many times and haven't slept in peace." "You cried often over me." "I know but... still..." "I can't leave you by that punk's side." "Imja." "Your return is soon." "In those remaining days," "I can't leave you with that bastard so... can't you stay by my side?" "Won't you answer?" "I...am from Heaven." "Even if I say weird things, you believe me, right?" "Tell me." "The back of the book... said a certain person would be in peril." "And?" "After I read it days ago, I saved you." "That person...was you." "What are you saying?" "Why'd I...?" "I told you." "You're famous in heaven." "I only saw half of it." "But that rotten Deokheung won't give me the rest but that bit might show other dangers to you." "I need them." "So?" "That's why you'll stay here?" "Just to know when I die?" "Then I can prevent it." "So?" "When do you get those pages?" "On the wedding night." "You'll wait till that night?" " Before, somehow..." " How?" "That bastard poisoned you." "Yet you'd marry him?" "To save me?" "Should I pass up a chance to save you?" "See it from my eyes." "If I was to die and you could save me..." "What do I do with you?" "High Doctor is marrying my Uncle?" "Did you know?" "I heard yesterday." "I couldn't believe it." "A convenient venue was chosen outside the palace." "You are begged to officiate at His Highness's marriage." "We'll take you to the palace." "The palace?" "Why?" "Ah, I'm fine here." "Hey, I'm fine here." "Wait, wait!" "Ah, I'm fine here, why...?" "Hey, I said I'm okay here." "Wait, wait!" "We'll move your belongings." " The palace?" " Can we go back?" "Just returning or...?" "I want to drag my uncle off my throne." "I see." "Most officials will think I'm a weak, runaway king." "Replace some councillors." "Deokheung has 2000 troops." "I'll get them back." "Gi Chul's private army is a threat." "I'll work it out." "So, with 50 Wudalchis, you'll face 2000 Palace Guards and Dukseong's private army?" "I'll find a way to avoid a fight." "Here." "It's a few official posts that I believe you'll need." "I heard about High Doctor." "You know I worry you'll flee with her." "Oh, Lady Choi." "What on earth have you done?" "I know..." "I'm not sure." "Please sit." "Is the date set?" "I don't intend to marry him." "Get unengaged somehow, then..." "It's a betrothal with the King's royal relative." " You'll break it off?" " I can't?" "Did Choi Young stop by last night?" "Don't mention it." "He was yelling I had to go with him..." "Go where?" "Run away..." "If he flees with a Royal bride, he'll be dismembered." "The Queen sent me to talk sense into you." "Ah, wait!" "I only said in words I'd marry him." "We didn't have an engagement party and..." "You received the letter of marriage." "I'm no good at Hanja so I didn't read it." "You accepted the groom's gifts." "They just left them here." "Can I return them?" "But was that guy reckless as a kid?" "Young?" "He was surrounded by soldiers." "How could he be so rash?" "Taking me away would get him charged with treason." "That's right." "Ah, that guy's not listening, whether I beg or cry!" "We came to deliver His Majesty's Royal Decree." "What is this?" "Isn't Prince Deokheung the King's regent?" "We accept His Majesty's commands." "His Majesty gave this order." "All Royal Orders must have the new Seal of the Goryeo King." "Only one Royal Seal will exist to avoid confusion." "His Majesty also issued these orders." "His Majesty will resume duties." "He praises Prince Deokheung's efforts in his regency." "Court Councillors are commanded to seek the king at his residence outside the palace." "Also, His Majesty assigned General Choi Young a new task." "Choi Young will command all military troops and reside in the palace until His Majesty returns to maintain peace and order." "I accept the Royal Order." "I will begin that task now." "Prince Deokheung." "You're sitting on the throne only His Majesty can occupy." "Please step down." "As you know well," "I'm a busy man." "High Doctor is divulging information in a big way." "Simply writing it down would...." "." "The King changed his tactics." "." "Instead of returning, he's taking the palace to him." "." "Do you know whom he sent to take charge?" "." "That bastard turned up again?" "." "That bastard will take your High Doctor." "." "What should we do?" "There's no choice." "I will strike the King." "However, I need justification." "." "He is still King." "." "If the pretext is too weak, it may be trouble for me." "." "I will create the pretext." "." "Ah, by the way, ." "the wedding date's a month away?" "." "Yes, so?" "." "High Doctor said Heaven-gate opens in two months." "That doesn't seem right." "She's feeding me knowledge too readily." "Then Heaven-gate will open..." "It could be soon." "Find out which generals support Deokheung." "Yes." "Some may resist." "I understand." "Dae Man, check where Deokheung goes." "He's hiding an item." "I need its location." "Yes, General!" "Jeong Woo, handle Dukseong's private army." "Yes." "You're working hard!" "Demon." "You're unwelcome." "Can't be true!" "The king bars no-one here." "Not slaves or citizens." "The king might not block you but I will." "If you play with me, people here will get hurt." "How is it?" "20 Wudalchi outside, same inside." "Probably a few more scouting." " That's all?" " All for now." "Well...it only needs us two." "I said that." "Hey!" "Why are they here?" "They came to spy." "What do you want?" "We came to greet the king." "Impossible." "Why?" "Because I said so." "I really want to fight today." "I'm not in a good mood." "Let's go." "It's a bomb!" "What're you looking for?" "Why are you here?" "The book isn't here." "Really?" "Then...that room..." "That punk plays baduk there." "He might've hidden it there." "What else is in that book?" "It says when the portal opens." "Anything about you in danger?" "Nothing!" "If that's so... give up that book." "But..." "I never once coveted knowing the future." "So...give that up, too." "It's about you." "I don't want to know." "I don't care about my death." "Then I can do nothing for you." "Soon we'll really part." "We're not like couples who separate after a fight and call each other drunk or run into each other." "We really won't meet again." "But I want to think you're living well here." "How can I give up?" "What's going on this late?" "!" "Eleven high commanders are in cahoots." "They all got richer lately." "They revolted with Jo Il Shin without penalty." "They joined Deokheung." "Fire Chick and Flute Boy went to Hyeongo Village." " And then?" " They counted us and left." "It's ready." "It's been a while, Ahn Jae." "Choi Young, you're full of ups and downs." "So, why this secret meeting?" "Oh, these are my comrades." "I'll get to the point." "You're all traitors who drove out the king by sword." " Right?" " That's right." "Nine of my men died." "We lost 30." "How much money did your superiors gobble?" "A lot." "Want to come back?" "The King's waiting." "How can we, even if we want?" "If I make it so you can..." "will you come?" "When's he return?" "Soon as possible." "A list of newly subsumed Royal Army men." "Two Rank 5, five Rank 6." "Draw up their promotion orders beforehand." " Yes, Your Majesty." " Oh, right." "Mobilise the royal army?" "If I were Choi Young, I'd do that." "Should I attack the king before he moves the troops?" " Is that possible?" " And the pretext?" "On that day you'll attend my wedding." "It will be a small feast at the temple." "When it ends, my wife and I will return to the palace but by then the King..." "Will be dead at the hands of robbers." "My kids are currently procuring disguises." "After the mourning, my queen will go on a trip." "Take her to the portal then." "I understand." "Then the wedding date is..." "Day after tomorrow." " Aren't you rushing?" " I want it done fast." "High Doctor must be retrieved before the wedding." " There's no time." " Be careful." "How can I be more careful?" "I don't even visit her." "Watch your temper, punk!" "Once you drag out Deokheung, bring her back." "If you succeed before next full moon, then..." "The next full moon.... is the day she returns." "Really?" "Have you once asked her if she will stay?" "She's heartless." "No piece of her heart wants to stay." "I guess...seeing what she went through...." "Just find out where those Generals gather." "I need to grab them in one place without their men around." "When I think of what High Doctor said..." " Let's end it now." " What do you mean?" "You never intended marriage." "You just needed me for a deal with the Court Prince." " You don't want to be queen?" " I told you, you won't be king." " You don't need the book?" " Right!" "That's a problem." "I give up." "Tell me what's in the book." "Then I might give you the rest." " It's my homework." " Homework?" "Whoever wrote it thought I'd solve it." "So you're giving up?" "In the time left, I will stick to him." "I might even solve the book." "So you're ending the betrothal?" "Sorry." "This will happen!" "Improper conduct between you and Wudalchi General will be punished by slavery or exile." "Before that, flogging." "The Court Prince won't like that." "I can send both of you to him as slaves." "As if that guy would go quietly." "The King's in Hyeongo Village with only 50 men." "I have 2000 troops." "Last time, Choi Young put the king before his lover." "What is this?" " It was bandit disguises." " Hundreds of them." " Dae Man." " Yes." " Run the fastest in your life." " Tell the King to start." " Yes." "Dol Bae." "Tell Ahn Jae all plans are moved up." "." "Lady Choi sent a message." "." "Wait, what did you say?" "." "The wedding is at the temple today." "Therefore..." "." "What's going on?" "." "I will escort High Doctor." "Where do I bring her?" "." "Prince Deokheung and the Councillors are waiting." "They'll go to temple with you." "." "However..." "." "she can't go in this state for a royal marriage." "Hence..." "." "Everything's ready at the temple." "." "First we go, then..." "." "What should I do?" "." "400 of our troops passed Palace Hall." "At Balgye, they'll change attire and attack." "Why are you here?" "You should be inside." "About now, Hyeongo Village is under attack by my troops." "I told them to bring the King here alive if possible since he's the officiator." "If there's no wedding, no officiator is needed!" "Just get it over." "You were startled." "It isn't far to the Temple." "Let's walk in the autumn wind." "What are you doing here?" "On this joyous day, will you cause a scene?" "Hyeongocheon is under attack." "I know." "So there's no time." "Hurry and go." "There is no other way!"
