"This is Dochi's doing, for sure." "I'll go get him." "I'll kill him and get Buyoung out." "Don't get ahead of yourself." "We don't have any evidence." "Hyupbo's right." "It will only put her in danger." "Dochi won't harm her for as long as he needs her." "Keep an eye on him but don't act on impulse." "The more desperate we are the calmer we should be." "Understand?" "Yes, captain." "What?" "Why did you bring her back?" "Prince Youngpo told me to." "I think he's going to use her against Prince Jumong." "Dang." "Here we go again." "Where is she?" "I hid her well." "Don't worry." "Gosh." "I do feel sorry for you." "Buyoung." "I don't want to do this but I have no choice." "Bear with me for a bit and I'll let you go." "If you don't, we're both dead meat." "Don't you dare use me to get to Prince Jumong." "I'll just kill myself." "Kill yourself?" "." "It takes a lot to die." "We're not that fragile, you see." "Handang." "Yes, sir." "Feed her well and guard her at all times." "I will." "We're in trouble, Yeomieul." "What is it?" "We're under attack." "Escort her out." "We'll take care of them." "Your Majesty." "What is it?" "Someone attacked the Shrine." "What happened to Yeomieul?" "We don't know if she's alive or not." "Assassins?" "Who would dare to do such a thing?" "Soldiers are on their way so we'll find out soon." "This is a serious matter." "People might think I'm behind it." "Your Highness." "What is it?" "Come with me." "Your mother is looking for you." " What happened?" " I don't know." "I have no idea." "Prince Jumong is here." " Sit down." " OK." "What is it?" "Someone attacked the Shrine." "No one knows if Yeomieul is alive." "Jumong." "The Queen wants to kick Yeomieul out and make Mauryung the Sorceress." "I think the Queen and Daeso did this to use it against you." "They dared to attack the Shrine." "Who knows what they'll do to you?" "Don't worry." "I know what the Queen and my brothers are up to." "I can protect myself." "Daeso." "What happened?" "Haven't you heard about the attack?" "Attack?" "Where were you when we're in a state of emergency?" "Let's go into the court." "Have you found Yeomieul?" "We did all we could but we couldn't find her." "Do you know who the assassins are?" "We inspected the dead bodies but we couldn't identify them." "Chief General." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Why is security this poor?" "Don't you think the assassins could come to my chambers if they wanted to?" "Forgive me, Your Majesty." "Find Yeomieul... and disclose who's behind this." "I will, Your Majesty." "Your Highness." "Mauryung is here." " Let her in." " OK." "Is Yeomieul OK?" "No one knows how she is." "Your Highness." "I'm afraid people might get the wrong idea about me." "What should we do?" "No one else knows what we discussed." "Don't worry." "What terrible timing..." "I wonder who would dare do something so reckless." "Mother." "Did the King really approve?" "There's no need to worry." "As long as Yeomieul is confirmed dead..." "Mother, Daeso, even the King will approve of me." "I'll have relieved them of their troubles." "It'll be fine." "There's no need to worry." " My Lord." " What is it?" "Someone attacked the Shrine." "What?" "Call Sayong and Sosuhno!" " Who do you think did this?" " I don't know." "Ask a sorceress." "Kumwa?" "I don't think so." "The Kumwa I know wouldn't send assassins." "He'd call her in and behead her." "I think it was Prince Daeso." "No, it's not him." "Prince Daeso is very cunning." "He wouldn't do such a reckless thing." "We'll find out who it was in due time." "What we must do now is predict how this will affect us." "The people will be very worried." "Exactly." "The people trust her more than anything." "No matter what the outcome is, this incident will hit Puyo hard." "Yeomieul asked for your help." "Will you help her if she comes to you?" "I don't know." "What do you think?" "Not only is she the Sorceress but she also knows much about Puyo." "I don't see why we shouldn't side with her." "Well said." "And that's exactly why I will." "You've been to the Palace?" "Yes." "Do they know where Yeomieul is?" "Not yet." "I wonder how this will affect the competition." "Yeomieul didn't want me to become Crown Prince." "Then wouldn't this be to your advantage?" "Yeomieul's replacement will support the Queen and Prince Daeso." "Either way, I'm at a disadvantage." "Gosh..." "How sad." "This is why I have to help you." "Daeso." "I think Youngpo's behind this." "Why would he do such a stupid thing?" " I'm not sure but I have a hunch..." " Your Highness." "Prince Youngpo is here." " Tell him to come in." " OK." "Mother." "Daeso." "Wouldn't it be great if Yeomieul dies and Mauryung becomes Sorceress?" "Is that why you sent the assassins?" "Where did you hear that?" "It wasn't me." "Your expression just gave it away." " Daeso." "It wasn't me." " Youngpo." "Yes, Mother." "If it was you, just tell us." "It's great if Yeomieul really is dead... but we need a backup if she's not." "It's OK." "If it was you, I know you did it for Daeso, His Majesty and me." "Aren't we all family?" "Is there anything you can't tell us?" "To tell you the truth... it was me." " You pathetic fool!" " Daeso!" "Mother!" "What should we do about him?" "!" "Calm down." "Please calm down!" " Hear me out first!" " Be quiet!" "What more do you have to say?" "!" "I wanted the King to approve of me." "I can stand losing to you but I can't stand losing to Jumong." "You said the King approved." "That's why I did it!" "If all goes well, won't it benefit you too?" "Youngpo." "Even so, shouldn't you have taken your time?" "How dare you do this without discussing with us first?" "It's spilt milk." "Stop it." "Yes, I agree Youngpo was reckless." "But like he said, if Yeomieul really is dead... and Mauryung becomes Sorceress it will benefit us greatly." "We came this far." "Might as well use it to our advantage." "I want you to tell me nothing but the absolute truth." "OK." "Who are the men you sent?" "Dochi recruited them." "If you're worried the corpses might give something away... there's no need to." "I know I should cover my tracks." "I'm not that dumb." "Isn't that great." "Can they confirm Yeomieul is dead?" "I told them all to go into hiding." "I can't reach them." "OK then." "You can go now." "Daeso." "I'm not as pathetic as you think." "I'm a logical person and I can think for myself." "Just wait and see." "You're the one who'll benefit the most." "Fine." "Thanks for everything." "You're excused." "Naro." "Yes?" "What should I do now?" "I knew Prince Youngpo's temperament but I didn't think he'd be so reckless." "He doesn't think before he acts." "We have no choice but to make sure nothing backfires." "What do you want me to do?" "Tell me." "Find Yeomieul and finish her off." "I know it's not easy." "Do it for me." "I will." "Your Majesty." "The people still revere Yeomieul." "Rumors that she was killed are causing much chaos." "We must do something to pacify them." "Prime Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "What can we do to pacify the public?" "We must find out whether she's alive." "And if she comes back... you must forgive and forget what she did to Haemosu." "Is that why you think we drifted apart?" "Then...?" "I'm keeping my distance to restrain the Shrine's authority." "The Shrine has abused the gods to exercise their power." "Don't you know how big a political obstacle that has been?" "I don't deny the Shrine's authority... but I won't let them stand against me." "If Yeomieul returns..." "I will sincerely apologize." "But only for... not protecting the Shrine properly." "Captain." "We're back." "Did you find out?" "Yes." "We've been watching Dochi but I don't think Buyoung's at his bar." "He'll use her to get something from me." "We should wait until I know what they want." "Why should we?" "We can beat Dochi up until he tells us where she is." "Oi." "Do you think Dochi kidnapped Buyoung?" "Dochi knows I took Buyoung from him." "There's no way he'd have done it alone." "Then...?" "I bet Youngpo made him do it." "If Youngpo is behind this, then it complicates things." "Like I said, he probably did this to use her against me." "She'll be safe until he gets what he wants." "Don't be impulsive." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Captain." "We heard a strange rumor." "I heard assassins killed the Sorceress." "Is it true?" "The Shrine was attacked... but no one knows what happened to her." " Who would want her dead?" " I hope nothing bad happens." "The people are panicking." "Can't you use your powers to see if Yeomieul is alive?" "Well, you see..." "Why?" "Is it too hard?" "We're no match for Yeomieul." "We haven't heard from her." "Doesn't it mean she's dead?" "If that's so, does that mean Mauryung is the new Sorceress?" "Come on, watch what you say." "Your Highness." "Whatever happens will be the will of the gods." "What happened to Yeomieul?" "She's alive." "Good job." "You must not say a word about this." "Understand?" "Yes." "Are you there, Songju?" "I'm going into town." "Prepare for the outing." "I will, Your Majesty." "Have a drink." " I heard someone killed the Sorceress." " What?" "Who did that?" "King Kumwa of course." "I heard the two just didn't get along." "They say King Kumwa was desperate to get rid of her." "Watch what you say." "Dang, why should I?" "Now that she's dead, Puyo's done for." "You should watch out." " Dang..." "Drink up." " Let's drink." "Hold still." "You've had too much." "No." "Will you pour me another?" "Yuhwa." "Yes?" "Do you know how childish I really am?" "I blamed her for locking Haemosu up for over 20 years... but I was actually angry with myself." "I couldn't forgive myself for not being able to do anything." "Your Majesty..." "I wanted to hide my feelings." "But I'm sure Yeomieul knows." "She sees right through me." "Will you accept the governor's proposal?" "We don't have much time." "I just don't understand why he wants me to marry his daughter." "Will you refuse his proposal then?" "You know the opposition I must face to make this happen." "I can't make this decision alone." "Tell him I need more time." "A lot is happening in Puyo." "I will visit the governor myself when I have the time." "I'll tell him that." "Who is that for?" "Mopalmo is here to see Lord Yuntabal." "Yuntabal isn't home." "He's waiting alone." "Really?" "I'll take that." "Have a seat." "OK." "This tea is from Guda." "It's so expensive only the Han royalty can afford it." "It's famous for its aroma." "I'm a wine person." "Tea is..." "Do you want wine instead?" "No, it's OK." "I heard you love your work so much you didn't even get married." "That's right." "It must be very lonely, living alone at your age." "My husband died long ago so I'm lonely too." "So what?" "I'm just saying." "Oh my, I'm sorry I kept you waiting." "I've been told that Keru's iron chamber is complete." "All you have to do now is go and share your techniques." "I'm going because the King told me to... but there's nothing much to share." "You'll never make anything like Puyo's weapons." "I know." " Is this Lord Yuntabal's house?" " It is." "I promised to help Prince Jumong unlock the secret to parching." "Working in Puyo can be tough with everyone watching." "But you can work to your heart's content in Keru." "I'll give you all you need." "What is it?" "Take a look." "Call Wootae." "OK." "Good afternoon." "Are you going to see Yeomieul?" "How did you know that?" "I saw the Shrine bodyguard." "I need to tell her something." "What happened?" "We looked all over Mt." "Sumi but she wasn't there." "That leaves Mt." "Taesung where they go to pray." " Let's go!" " Yes, sir." "Attack!" " Don't just stand there!" "Help her!" " Yes, my Lord!" "What brings you here?" "I wanted to confirm something." "As you already know..." "I'm the one who broke the Damul Bow." "Is that why you think I'll be no good for Puyo?" "I'm competing against my brothers who want me dead." "I'm willing to become Crown Prince and dedicate myself to the people." "Why do you think I will harm Puyo?" "It's your destiny." "Your Highness." "What are you doing?" "I have sinned greatly against you." "What could you have done against me?" "I'll tell you what I did when the time is right." "Who's behind this?" "This is an insult to Puyo and me." "I'd rather not say." "I'll return to the Shrine." "Isn't that dangerous?" "I have nothing to fear now." "I called you here... to ask whether you will help me or not." "We will help and protect you." "What did you just say?" "Lord Yuntabal and Prince Jumong were protecting her." "Daeso!" " Daeso." " What is it?" "Yeomieul is back." "What?" "I want to speak in private." "Leave us." "I apologize the security was so poor as to let assassins get to you." "I didn't return to determine who's right and wrong." "You shunned me because of what happened to Haemosu... but I still stand by my decision." "Do you still insist it was the gods' will?" "Your Majesty." "If I wanted Haemosu dead, I would've seen to it 20 years ago." "But I protected him and waited for his death." "Protect him?" "Is that what you call locking someone up in a prison?" "Don't distort the truth." "What would've happened... if I hadn't done so?" "Your father would've executed him." "Would anyone dare kill him while I'm still around?" "You could never have protected him." "Yeomieul." "What did you do for Commander Haemosu?" "Daeso and Youngpo killed him." "And what did you do about that?" "You didn't do anything." "And you still want to criticize me?" "I might have locked him up... but didn't you want him dead because you loved Lady Yuhwa?" "Shut up, Yeomieul!" "One more word... and it will be your last." "The only way you can hide your hypocrisy... is for me to die." "I'm sick of it all." "Just kill me." "You made a mess for nothing." "What will you do now?" "Where's all your confidence?" "Say something!" "Forgive me." "When will you start doing things properly?" "The Prime Minister is here." "I don't want to see anyone." " That's what I told him but..." " We must talk." "Please." "I'm so sorry this happened." "I never thought this would happen." "This is all my fault." "I'll heighten security so it never happens again." "I'm going to leave." "Yeomieul." "My authority has been trampled upon." "How dare I stay and serve the gods?" "Yeomieul." "I might have locked him up... but didn't you want him dead because you loved Lady Yuhwa?" "Your Majesty, it's me, the Prime Minister." "Come in." "Your Majesty, I just met Yeomieul." "She wants to leave." "You must stop her." "You know she won't stay just because I ask her to." "But her departure will upset the people." "It's too late to turn things back." "Think of a way to appease the people." "Anyway, it turned out as you wanted." "Something's not right." "What if Yeomieul holds a grudge and hinders Daeso's future?" "Don't worry, Mother." "Mother, Daeso!" "Have you heard?" "Yeomieul is leaving the Palace." "See?" "I was right." "I relieved the King of his troubles and got what you all wanted." "I, Youngpo, did it." "What's wrong with you?" "Yeomieul is leaving." "Aren't you happy?" "You should be more careful." "You got lucky this time." "It wasn't luck." "The gods were on my side." "The gods..." "They're still spying on us." "How come Youngpo always makes a mess then never shows up?" " Is Buyoung OK?" " Yes, sir." "What brings you here without notice?" " Dochi." " Yes, Your Highness?" "I'll grant you a wish." "Tell me what you want." "Did something good happen?" "Yes." "And it's all thanks to you." "Well..." "All that's left is Jumong." "I'll use Buyoung to get rid of him and it'll all be over." "She's here." "This way..." "Buyoung!" "Buyoung!" " Buyoung!" " What happened?" "I think she killed herself." "The spiteful wretch." "Is she still alive?" "Yes." " Get a doctor." "She mustn't die." "Hurry!" " OK!" " How is she?" " She'll live." "Well done." "You can go now." "You pathetic fool." "If something happens to her I'll kill you personally!" "Don't worry, Your Highness." "I'll hire men to guard her all day." "If she dies, my plan will be ruined." "Guard her well." "I will." "By the way, what will you do with her?" "You'll find out soon enough." "How did it go?" "Did Daeso accept my condition?" "He wanted more time to overcome the opposition." "He wanted more time..." "So he didn't say no." "He didn't." "Making steel weapons seems to be an important factor." " Wangsomoon." " Yes, Governor." "Select a blacksmith to send to Puyo." "Welcome." "Yeomieul..." "Sit down." "Soryung." "Listen to me very carefully." "I'm going to leave." "Yeomieul..." "I need you to take care of Byuriha." "Please take me with you." "A difficult journey awaits me until I find a place to settle." "I'll call you two when I'm ready." "Stay here in Puyo until then." "Don't cry." "There's nothing we can do to stop Yeomieul from leaving." "We have to pacify the distressed public." "There's nothing to it." "All we have to do is appoint a new Sorceress." "The Sachooldo sorceresses are in charge of that." "From what I hear, Mauryung is the best candidate." "Mauryung?" "The Maga sorceress?" "That's a little..." "Why?" "Is there a problem?" "Of course there is." "Both you and the Queen are from Maga." "Mauryung mustn't become Sorceress." "What's so wrong with that?" "Stop it, everyone." "Who becomes Sorceress is up to the sorceresses." "We're in no position to argue over it." "Your Highness." "Yeomieul is here." "Escort her in." "I have something to say before I leave." "Please sit down." "While offering rites to the gods a long time ago..." "A three-legged crow appeared to me." "I believed it would bring us harm... and told the late King to kill it." "The three-legged bird I saw was Haemosu." "But the bird still lives on... despite the fact that Haemosu is dead and gone." "You are looking after it." "Your Highness." "The bird is too weak to take to the sky." "You must nurse him well." "Puyo has forsaken me." "So I will now turn against Puyo and serve the three-legged crow." "I have sinned greatly against you." "I'll tell you what I did when the time is right." "Your Highness." "Yeomieul just left the Palace." "Really?" "Tell them to select a new Sorceress." "The Shrine must not be left unattended." "I will, Your Highness." "(Mauryung)" "Mauryung." "The Queen is here." "Escort her inside." "Congratulations on becoming Puyo's Sorceress." "This is all thanks to you." "The only thing I want in this world is for Daeso to become Crown Prince." "What can I do to help?" "We must end the competition." "I need you to help Prince Daeso." "I will do as you say." "Your Highness." "Prince Daeso is here." " Tell him to come in." " I will." "I pledge my allegiance to you for as long as I'm Sorceress." "Help me become Crown Prince and I will protect you." "I will escort you to Keru." "It's not yet time." "Then...?" "I will travel the world and serve the gods for a while." "There's someone I must meet before I leave." "What is it?" "Yeomieul wants to see you." "I heard you're leaving Puyo." "Where will you go?" "I made an error and misread the gods' will." "I have committed a great sin so I must be punished." "Your Highness." "Remember I said I'd sinned against you?" "I must tell you what it is before I leave... and ask for your forgiveness." "You think King Kumwa is your father... but he is not." "What do you mean?" "King Kumwa isn't your father." "Commander Haemosu is."
