"As you ordered, we've prepared everything and can leave tomorrow morning for the Temple." "No, we'll go to Mi An Temple." "I want to see whether he has really become a monk." "I want to see for myself." "Master Myeong Jin!" "Her Majesty is here." "Welcome, Your Majesty." "I'm the abbot in charge here, my name is Su Wol." "I'm Myeong Jin." "= Episode 17 =" "Why is Myeong Jin not here?" "He was here just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye he disappeared." " Go and look for him immediately." " Yes." "Why, why didn't you ever tell me?" "My original plan was to send this child to the village once he was born, but I never thought things would turn out like this." "So what should we do now?" "If they know, they won't let the child live." "I will think of a way to get him out." "Please help me." "Then let me protect him." "That won't do, you're the Queen's guard." "How can you possibly leave this place?" "What if the Queen looks for you?" "Matters will get more dangerous if she starts suspecting you." "I'll explain to her, give the child to me." "How did it go?" "I've searched everywhere, but still couldn't find him." "Have you tried looking for him at Hae Dang's residence?" "I haven't had time to look there." "I'll take a look there personally." "Lead the way." "Quickly, Wife." "Wife!" "You must promise me... that I will definitely see this child again." "I promise." "You must also believe in Gye Baek." "He will take him to a safe place." "You must bring this child back to me later on." "Your Majesty, what brings you here?" "What brings you all the way to Hae Dang's residence?" "I heard that master Hae Dang was sick, and therefore came to see her." "I came to take care of her." "Is that so?" "Then I'd better go in and take a look." "It's not necessary for Your Majesty to do that." "It's my fault." "I wasn't able to welcome Your Majesty." "Please forgive me for my rudeness." "You look very unwell." "I'll call the physician to take a look at you." "Your Majesty, the pharmaceutical division has been attacked." "What happened?" "Don't worry." "I was attacked by an unknown person." "It was the guard who saved me." "Where did Seungri go?" "He went chasing after that person." "=Hyungsu :" "Murderer/ Person who commits evil deeds.=- You go and give chase as well." "Be sure to catch the hyungsu." "=Hyungsu :" "Murderer/ Person who commits evil deeds.=- Yes." "Why did the criminal attack you?" "Can you think of anything suspicious?" "Even though I can't confirm it, recently I heard there's a conflict between the Japanese merchants and my merchants." "It was probably them who sent that assassin." "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" "I didn't want to trouble you over a small matter." "Your Highness, we plan to hold a discussion at Baek Hwa Ru's tomorrow night." "There are people who intend to petition His Majesty to appoint a Crown Prince quickly." "Thank you to all of you." "I won't forget the favour that all of you have done for me." "Isn't that the sound of a baby crying?" " Go and take a look quickly." " Yes." "Over there!" "Grab hold of him!" "Grab hold of him!" "Grab hold of him!" "Isn't that Gye Baek?" "How can such things happen?" "Heaven is blind." "How can they be so merciless?" "Don't blame yourself." "I don't know whether you want to hear this, but this is also his fate." "Ga Ui." "Don't die." "You can't die." "Baby, baby, I'm sorry." "It's nuna's fault." "(Nuna - older sister)" "To let you become like this, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry baby." "I'll never do that again in future." "So, please open your eyes!" "He's alive, my dongsaeng." "(Dongsaeng - younger brother or sister)" "I cannot believe my eyes." "A child who had been dead was brought back to life." "How did such a miracle happen?" "This is truly a good omen." "It's extremely auspicious." "Ga Ui." "Don't worry about things here." "Leave before the Queen becomes suspicious." "Yes, I understand." "I heard what happened in Mi An Temple." "Are you all right?" "Yes, Father." "Fortunately my injury isn't that serious." "That is really fortunate." "But I thought you were no longer in charge of the merchants?" "For them to try to kill you, is really surprising." "The criminal has yet to be caught, am I right?" "Yes, because of that, I plan to go back and carry out an investigation." "You've been frightened, go back and rest." "Yes, Your Majesty." "She seems a bit suspicious." "This sudden assassination has never happened before." "Just think about it." "The eve of Yeon Mun Jin's rebellion, and the escape of the captives, she was the only person at the scene." "This area of suspicion is not just once or twice." "It's best to do a thorough investigation." "Are you saying that even she cannot be trusted?" "There's no harm in being more careful." " Who's there?" " It's me, Nam Jo." "Report Eun Go's every move to me from now on." "Yes." "The message from Baek Hwa Ru states it'll be tomorrow at midnight." "It was sent by Prince Gyo Gi." "I don't care whether Gyo Gi is sending the meat, or the meat is sending Gyo Gi." "So, just like this..." "It's really from Prince Gyo Gi." "What do you think?" "To go, or not to go?" "Why are you asking unnecessary questions, just go." "This is an opportunity." "This is our golden opportunity." "Think about it carefully." "Don't just eat and listen." "(means don't just sit and do nothing)" "Think about it." "Let's just annihilate the ferocious Wi Je faction." "If Prince Gyo Gi were to see that, what will he think of us?" "He'll want to retain us, and make us his subordinates." "What is there to think about?" "Do you think by doing that we'll be fine?" "Even if we tell Prince Gyo Gi it was us who did it, isn't it a fact that we did it together with them?" "Was there someone else?" "Who?" "Why is it I can't remember?" "Wasn't it just us who did it?" "As long as he doesn't appear before Prince Gyo Gi, then the Prince won't know of it." "As long as we don't say anything, that will do." "Who do you think he could be?" "Moreover, when we were trying to to kill the members of the Wi Je faction, we were unsure then whether they were friends or enemies." "How can you be so stupid!" "How can my troops be my enemy?" "We must first hold on to Gyo Gi, and head towards a bright place." "Our future will then be secured." "A bright place." "Let's drink a toast to Prince Gyo Gi's coronation." "Cheers!" "Your Highness, congratulations!" "Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" "I, Gyo Gi, am grateful for the loyalty you have all shown." "I won't forget all of you who are here today." "I will have your names recorded in a list of heroes, and will later bestow upon all of you senior positions." "And all those people of stature who are in the Palace, it's also important to bring them over to our side." " So everybody should put in their best efforts." " Yes." "I've invited him here according to your orders." "Let him in." "He's the guard from the Queen's Palace, Seungri." "To be recently appointed the Queen's guard, isn't that a better position than being a guard to the governor?" "When did you even manage to bring the guard over to your side?" "No, he's not one of my people yet." "No matter how I try to persuade him, he won't change his mind." "Isn't Her Majesty your mother?" "Someday you will be crowned as the Crown Prince." "Why are you so impatient?" "Your servant will act as if I've not seen all of you." "You're clearly here." "Today, you won't be able to run away." "I'll definitely put you in an important position after my ascension to the throne." "So from now onwards be my follower." "Don't let him move even one step." "It's you again." "Do you know each other?" "Yes, we're somehow connected." "Who is he?" "He's the Queen's guard." "The Queen's follower?" "I called both of you today because I need a group of warriors." "My final proposal." "If you reject it, I'll kill you right here." "What's your answer?" "Of course I will align myself to you." "Why would a person from the Queen's Palace want to exterminate the Wi Je faction?" "Didn't you say the Wi Je faction is your enemy?" "So why are you on Prince Gyo Gi's side?" "What is your true identity?" "Are you friend or foe?" "I want to ask you the same question." "Why didn't you tell Gyo Gi about me?" "Because I really want to know your true self." "Gyo Gi will become the Crown Prince, and he'll become the King." "He will become my stepping stone." "The Prince seems like he really wants you on his side." "To have a person like you to handle matters is always helpful." "Same here." "But you must be careful." "This isn't the place for small fry like you to fool around." "So, you've accepted Gyo Gi's proposal?" "I had no choice in the matter." "If I didn't agree to it, my true identity would have been exposed." "Well done, that's great!" "Don't make fun of me." "I was being sincere." "Why didn't you tell us earlier that Prince Gyo Gi wanted you on his side?" "Even if he didn't bring it up, we intended to send you to him." "This is a godsend opportunity for us." "Think about it carefully, whether Prince Gyo Gi is fit to ascend the throne." "He's a small-minded person with big ambitions." "That's why the Queen delayed his investiture as Crown Prince." "But Prince Gyo Gi is too impatient to wait for the investiture, and has mistakenly revealed his own ambition." "As long as we can make use of this, we'll have unexpected opportunities knocking on our door." "The Queen is not an easy opponent to deal with, but Gyo Gi is not the same as her." "What you mean is to let them fight and kill each other?" "Yes, that's right." "You're telling me now you can't endure this any more?" "Yes." "You, bastard!" "Are you trying to trick me?" "Do you really want to die?" "I've yet to obtain Your Highness's guarantee." "Guarantee?" "What do you want?" "First of all, please guarantee this." "You must be installed as the Crown Prince as soon as possible, and you must also ascend the throne to be King." "If one follows a general who lacks determination to be victorious, there will be no troops who'll go to war." "Don't you trust me?" "I'm sorry, but compared to Your Highness now, in my eyes the Queen is more trustworthy." "If Your Highness can't give me a guarantee, how can I entrust my life to you, Your Highness?" "Fine, I'll give you that guarantee." "I will surely be more powerful than my mother, and I will become the King of this country." "And one more thing." "If Your Highness were to ascend the throne, at that time, you must bestow upon me the position of a General." "There are many ambitious people." "Finally, it boils down to you eyeing the position of a General." "Is this your game plan?" "In future, all information concerning what's going on in the Queen's Palace, I'll report it to you." "I'll become Your Highness' spy." "I can also manage the troops." "In the shortest time possible, we can mount a rebellion." "Don't you think that you must compensate me if I can do that for you?" "Fine, I'll guarantee that you'll be given the position of the most senior general." "I am honoured." "Your servant will serve Your Highness with undying loyalty." "I have someone whom I'd like to introduce to Your Highness." "He could be your future Zang Ji Fang." "=Zhang Zi Fang: the famous strategist who helped the Han Emperor unify the country.=- He could be your future Zang Ji Fang." "=Zhang Zi Fang: the famous strategist who helped the Han Emperor unify the country.=" "Who is it?" "Please come in." "Aren't you that person who made a fool out of me previously?" "How dare you bring this person here?" "Please remove your hand." "A person who wants to perform great deeds will get into trouble if they get agitated easily." "What did you say?" "Your Highness, don't tell me because I handed the gown to Prince Ui Ja previously, that you're behaving in this manner?" "Is it because you don't know that you're asking me?" "I never expected Your Highness to be so narrow minded." "Scoundrel!" "Please remove your hand and listen to what I have to say." "Fine, I'll let you justify your action." "If you dare to say one irrelevant word, your head will fall." "That day your servant gave the gown to Prince Ui Ja, was because I wanted Your Highness to become the Crown Prince." "What?" "For Your Highness to become the Crown Prince, the most important matter is to know who is on your side, and who are your foes." "You can distinguish this clearly after that event." "I made my stand that day because of Your Highness." "I gave the gown to Prince Ui Ja because if anyone were to step forward and support me, that person would be Your Highness' biggest stumbling block." "I only wanted you to see that clearly." "Think about it carefully Your Highness." "Those who supported me that day, would be the ones who would hinder Your Highness." "Is it my mother?" "When it comes to power, even between parents and children, it cannot be shared." "But no matter what, that person is my mother." "The Queen will wait until His Majesty's death." "Even if Your Highness has been installed as the Crown Prince then, she is not the kind of person who will hand over the reins of power to you." "If she doesn't hand over the reins of power to me, what do you want me to do?" "Apart from me, do you mean there's someone else?" "= Regent:" "A person appointed to rule the country on the King's behalf. =- She'll be the Regent." "If she was really a normal mother, she would recommended you be installed as the Crown Prince long before this." "But Her Majesty didn't do that." "What do you think that signifies?" "Just now, did you say to install the Crown Prince?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Such words can even come out of your mouth." "Did Gyo Gi direct you to do it?" "Even though he didn't ask me, it's not something that should be delayed any further." "But it's also not an urgent matter." "Gyo Gi still has a lot of weaknesses at the moment." "He hasn't been installed as one, but he's acting like he's the Crown Prince already." "If he's installed as the Crown Prince, then he'll be behaving like he's sitting on the throne." "How should we deal with that child?" "If it worries you, it'll be fine if Your Majesty acts as Regent for a period of time." "That idea had crossed my mind before, but Gyo Gi is no longer a child." "He's now an adult." "There's no longer any provision for a regent." "In a short while, envoys from the Tang court will be here." "The discussion concerning the installation of the Crown Prince will arise." "But for a child who hasn't matured, there's no way we can bestow that title on him." "Eun Go." "Yes." "My position is such a position where I cannot trust anyone." "The me in the past, in order to protect this position," "killed the person whom I loved." "Thereafter, I made the decision not to give in to my feelings any more." "Eun Go." "If it was you, what would you have done?" "To be able to reach this position, it's necessary to abandon one." "If it was me..." "If it was me, I would choose to abandon this position." "You don't seem to understand yourself very well." "You would also abandon your lover, and hold on to power." "It's the same with me." "If the time to make such a choice were to present itself again," "I'd still make the same decision, and abandon my lover." "Eun Go had sent us a letter." "She's having a lot of difficulty persuading the Queen." "So we still have to use Prince Gyo Gi to make a breakthrough." "It's elder's turn from now on." "I know that already." "Your Highness, this is Im Ja, a respected merchant." "What's your reason for wanting to meet me?" "What other reason can there be for a merchant wanting to meet Your Highness." "Of course it has something to do with your ascension to the throne." "What are you saying?" "His Majesty is still healthy." "You dare to say such a thing!" "Your servant doesn't know how to talk in a roundabout manner, so I'm going to speak in a straightforward manner." "Your servant is of lowly origins." "I've always been oppressed by those merchants who come from the nobility." "I've never been able to get a foothold in the capital." "This time, I want to risk my all, and depend on Your Highness." "What can you do for me?" "The Tang envoy will be here shortly." "Shouldn't we seek his favour, to undertake to help in your installation as Crown Prince?" "Therefore..." "Come in." "These have been made by Baekje's most talented craftsmen." "In addition to this, we have readied ginseng and dried persimmons." "We've also readied herbal medicines and spices." "Whatever you need, just let me know the quantity and items." "And as for the workers, how many do you need?" "All these are our Baekje's well known products." "These will make very appropriate gifts for the Tang envoy." "I'm very satisfied with them." "This is really great." "For Your Highness's sake," "I can pledge all of my property." "I hope Your Highness can take me in as one of your people." "Of course I must do so." "You're indeed a wealthy merchant, with great sincerity." "Now it's your turn, Your Highness." "All right, what shall I do?" "Seek an audience with His Majesty and tell him all our plans." "Convince him to work together with us." "His Majesty... must we drag His Majesty into the water with us?" "If we don't do that, our military power is too weak." "We need his help." "Even if I tell him, he won't believe me." "In that case, how about taking Gye Baek along?" "Gye Baek?" "Yes." "That is also one way of doing it." "Right, what about the other issues?" "Have you located our comrades who studied with us before?" "Yes, everybody wants to contribute." "All the positions have been occupied by the noblemen, therefore there are no positions available to them." "Everybody has endured this for a long time." "Even if this means they may have to become enemies with the noblemen, and even though it may be dangerous, they still want to participate." "In every village we've had very sympathetic responses from the village chief." "Everyone has raised a ruckus that they've been oppressed by the nobility for far too long." "If the guarantee is cancelled, coupled with unreasonable taxes and the military power, everyone will stand on our side." "If the students and the village chiefs were to side with us, this will increase our power greatly." "Yes, that's right." "Did you say you needed my help?" "We want to cause a split between Prince Gyo Gi and the Queen." "Please help us." "Fine, of course we must do that." "Thank you, Sinyeo." "A person named Heung Su will bring Prince Gyo Gi here." "This is the place." "We welcome you, Prince Gyo Gi." "You're really that Sinyeo." "Why are you staying in such a place?" "When I was young I paid you a visit, can you remember that?" "Of course, Your Highness." "How could I have forgotten you, Your Highness?" "The most dazzling star of Baekje." "Are you talking about me?" "Please go in quickly." "Baekje's most dazzling star." "I like that, I like that." "There were two Empress Dowagers during the Han Emperor's reign." "The Empress Dowagers were the Emperor's mother and grandmother." "Only by relying on the two of them, could the Emperor govern the country." "Another example is Li Shi Min, who held power in the Tang court." "If he'd just followed his father's way of thinking, he would never have become the Emperor." "Your Highness, you must know that you're a more dazzling star than Lee Shi Min." "Am I?" "A small tree must fall out from its parents embrace, only then can the tree grow large." "Once the tree has grown to be a big tree, isn't it time to complete the unification of the three kingdoms?" "Is that the truth?" "Do you know the reason why I was expelled from the Palace?" "Your Highness's star is too bright." "You've now overshadowed the King and the Queen." "Since I've said this, I'll go further." "Both the King and the Queen, compared to others, were more afraid of you ascending the throne." "But, Heaven and Your Highness share the same path." "Don't be afraid of anything." "Concentrate and pursue the unification of the three countries." "History will forever remember Your Highness as the shining star." "Thank you, Sinyeo." "That advice was very profound." "This I promise." "When I ascend the throne," "I'll let you return to the Palace shrine." "I hope you have been well since we last met." "This time, Your Excellency Jang Son has performed a great deed." "You're referring to the destruction of Goguryeo's Gyeong Gwan?" "That was indeed of great satisfaction to everyone." "Gyeong Gwan was meant to be Goguryeo's resistance to Su Dynasty attacks." "= Goguryeo's cemetery where the remains of those who died in the war were buried =- Gyeong Gwan was meant to be Goguryeo's resistance to Su Dynasty attacks." "= Goguryeo's cemetery where the remains of those who died in the war were buried =- That was built because they were looking forward to being victorious." "Why did the Tang destroy that?" "Although one can say Gyeong Gwan is Su Dynasty's disgrace, the subjects of the Su Dynasty have now become the subjects of the Tang Dynasty." "Our Tang Dynasty in our efforts to unify the world, has agreed to bury the past." "How can we allow such a Gyeong Gwan to exist?" "I, Jang Son, will absolutely not tolerate the existence of such a thing." "To see the reaction of the Goguryeo king when he saw the destruction of Gyeong Gwan," "I was delighted." "That doesn't seem like something worth showing off," "to talk about Tang unifying the world." "As far as I know the Tang Dynasty is still plagued by conflicts in remote Tubo (current Tibet) and the Turks." "If the Tang Dynasty were to unify the world, then there wouldn't be such worrisome matters." "Tubo and the Turks will eventually bow down to His Majesty the Emperor." "So in future, your war efforts will focus on the conflicts in Tubo and the Turks." "Your Excellency has provoked Goguryeo unnecessarily, and because of this matter has left a knife in Goguryeo's back." "Will this make your attacks on Tubo and the Turks any easier?" "Goguryeo has already built a wall a thousand miles long, and is ready for war." "Therefore Your Excellency, you don't have to show off your destruction of Goguryeo's Gyeong Gwan." "In the face of imminent war, you've provoked another enemy." "That's extremely stupid behavior." "Such truism." "Your Excellency, if you want to show off such foolish matters in the future, you'll just turn out to be a laughing stock." "It's better for you to exert some self-discipline." "So, what does Your Excellency expect us to do?" "You must stop the war." "Take this as a strong warning." "Baekje has captured Silla's Gajamseong City and taken its people captive," "Baekje has captured Silla's Gajamseong City and taken its people captive, so the Emperor has decreed that you return everything." "If you were to defy His Majesty's decree like you did previously," "I don't know what the Emperor will do to you." "You just provoked Goguryeo, do you want to become enemies with Baekje?" "Your Majesty, no matter how they threaten us, you must absolutely not agree." "Listen carefully, Your Excellency." "Baekje cannot accept the Tang Dynasty's request." "If you should make a similar request in the future, we'll cut off all ties and communications with the Tang Dynasty." "As all the court officials are opposed to this, there's nothing I can do." "To allow His Excellency Jang Son to be humiliated, isn't His Excellency Jang Son a trusted aide of the Emperor?" "You're right." "If relations between Baekje and the Tang Dynasty were to deteriorate, even if Your Highness were bestowed the Crown Prince title, it won't do any good." "No, it's better like this." "It's been said that in a crisis opportunities will appear." "Everyone in our court opposed the proposal by His Excellency Jang Son, but Your Highness must join forces with His Excellency Jang Son." "In politics, one must be slick and sly." "To exclude the Tang Dynasty, such a tough stance, should not be the first order of things." "If we go by the current momentum, this time Tubo and the Turks will definitely concede defeat." "If they were to become our patron, then Your Highness can be likened to sitting on a tiger's back." "For me to return Gajamseong City to them and release all the Silla captives?" "Looking at the current situation, even if we wanted to return Gajamseong City, there's no way we can do so." "If that's the case..." "Give them a guarantee that when you've ascended the throne you'll return Gajamseong City to them." "First, release all the Silla captives secretly." "That should be enough to show our sincerity." "After you've ascended the throne, we could just make use of any excuse to return Gajamseong City to them." "Regarding the release of the Silla captives, leave that to me." "Your Highness, you want to return Gajamseong City?" "That's correct." "Although I don't have the power to do so now, after my ascension to the throne, I will abide by our agreement." "As an expression of my sincerity to abide by that agreement," "I will immediately release all the Silla captives." "This is my written pledge." "Is there anything else you want to say to me?" "After your return to your homeland, speed up my conferment as Crown Prince." "The earlier I ascend the throne, the earlier both countries can derive any benefits from Tang and Baekje's relationship." "One more matter, if we were to attack Goguryeo, will you help us?" "I, Gyo Gi, will not just ascend the throne," "I will unify the three countries." "If Tang were to attack Goguryeo," "I will lead my troops and attack the Southern part of Goguryeo." "Very well." "If Your Highness so pledges," "I will certainly put forward your proposal to His Majesty the Emperor." "Not just as the Crown Prince." "Your Highness will become the king of Baekje." "Thank you!" "Your Majesty, Master Myeong Jin is seeking an audience." "Myeong Jin?" "Tell him I don't want to see him, ask him to leave." "Didn't I tell you to leave?" "Your Majesty." "I don't want to receive greetings from a fellow like you." "I didn't come because I wanted to greet you." "Although I've given up my family and become a monk, that doesn't mean my heart is similarly inclined." "What do you want to say?" "Come in." "Aren't you the Queen's guard named Seungri?" "Your servant's real name is not Seungri." "My name is Gye Baek." "Gye Baek..." "The Queen's guard," "Your Majesty's subordinate, is the son of Mu Jin, Gye Baek." "Do you remember me?" "I clearly heard you were dead." "Are you really that child Gye Baek?" "This is my father's possession." "Yes, this is Mu Jin's sword." "Your resentment towards me must be very strong?" "Yes, very strong." "I was able to survive until now because of my revengeful heart towards Prince Ui Ja." "But I know now, the root of the matter lies elsewhere." "Are you referring to Sa Taek Jeok Deok?" "The root I'm referring to is comparatively deeper than that." "Compared to that, someone more powerful and rich, but the harsh reality is he or she is one who decimates the dispossessed." "Together with Prince Ui Ja, I want to eliminate that pain." "Your Majesty." "For the sake of Your Majesty's dream, likewise our longing for peace and prosperity, please join forces with us." "What?" "I should form an alliance with Tang?" "What are you saying?" "Emperor Li Shi Min of Tang, in acting to stabilize the domestic situation, was more loved by his subjects, compared to previously." "He also invaded the borders of other countries, and that momentum will cause him to rise up." "At a time like this, if we were to reject them, in future it will not benefit Baekje either." "Although Your Highness's words are not completely unreasonable, it's not necessary to oblige their unreasonable demands and seek their indulgence." "Give a person an inch, they'll take a yard." "Do you think that Tang, in a situation which doesn't benefit them, help Silla?" "Just wait and see." "There'll come a day when Silla's demands will overwhelm the Tang, and there'll be a big war." "Regardless, among all our neighbouring countries, the most powerful is the Tang Dynasty." "If we can give them some benefit, so that they won't side with Silla, they'll also give us due respect and return the favour to us." "You useless fellow, what nonsense are you spouting?" "If we want to hold off Silla, compared to faraway Tang, it's better for us to align ourselves to nearby Goguryeo." "It's because of such behaviour from you that I cannot trust your judgment." "When you ascend the throne sometime in the future, what will become of this country?" "You're so dismal!" "Leave immediately!" "You don't look well." "What happened to you?" "Go and set free all the Silla captives immediately." "Right now?" "Don't make me repeat myself." "Yes, I'll do as you bid." "Let's go." "Yes!" "Things have finally begun." "Do you think everything will go smoothly?" "I'm not confident." "What do you expect us to do when you are only telling us now that you're not confident?" "I am saying I'm confident we will not fail." "Have you ever seen me wasting my time on something that I'm not confident in?" "Having said so, will the source of that self-confidence trust in your mind as well?" "Of course, now we're left with one more, that fellow." "That fellow who's like a wolf." "What's strange is he has a certain charm that draws people to him." "The people themselves don't know when it started, but compared to lively Prince Ui Ja, people trust him more." "It's because he's not greedy." "All he wants to see is that a person can live in dignity as a human being in this world." "Maybe the people are able to feel that intuitively?" "I saw it was getting late and came out to accompany you home." "Because the Queen hadn't fallen asleep, it was difficult to leave." "I heard you succeeded, that's a real relief." "The Prince is also here, follow me quickly." "Gyo Gi has now acted according to our plan." "Now that the Queen knows of this matter, she will definitely not let things lie." "We must let the Queen know that this is Gyo Gi's plan." "Do you think that will be all right?" "I'll say that because I was suspicious of Prince Gyo Gi, I told the soldiers to follow him." "Will she believe you?" "If I say it with genuine faith I'm confident she will believe me." "If up to know, she has never suspected agassi's words, I think she'll believe." "(Agassi - young lady)" "Be careful, the Queen is shrewder than anyone." "Yes, Your Highness." "Let me take you home." "I'll be fine, just accompany His Highness home." "His Highness has left with Cho Yeong and the other warriors, I think he'll be fine." "I'm fine with it also." "I intentionally came alone because I was worried someone might see me." "If someone should see us together it will bode ill." "I'm always in the same room with you, agassi, but yet have to pretend I don't know you." "I feel so stifled." "That's why I wanted to accompany you on your way, so that I can have a heart to heart talk with you." "This is the time where we must practice caution." "Truth be told, I've always felt happy and steadfast, although I'm making an effort to pretend not to know you, even though we're in the same room." "Who are you?" "You have to go somewhere with me." "You boor!" "Do you know who am I?" "I'm the person who takes care of the Queen." "Why would a person who takes care of the Queen meet up with Prince Ui Ja?" "Do you want to take my remaining eye as well?" "Should I make you blind?" "Go quickly!" "Gye Baek." "Hurry up!" "I will absolutely not allow you to pass." "Do you think I avoided you because I fear your sword?" "If you desire death so much, I'll help you achieve it." "You have already done that a long time ago to a person who was very important to me." "If I let you off," "I'll probably lose the person who's life is more important than my own." "I will never let you off." "Who are you really?" "You will never know." "Don't feel too lonely." "Your leader will follow right behind you." "I'll look again elsewhere." "Nothing will happen." "You're aware of Gye Baek's strength, aren't you?" "That person's skill is not that of an ordinary person." "Don't worry." "Gye Baek is definitely not that kind of person." "He's not one who'll seek death and leave me, Cho Yeong, and you agassi." "Not me, I meant you, agassi." "Agassi... then can you, agassi, be the reason for me to continue living?" "Are you all right?" "Agassi..." "Don't get hurt because of me, don't fall down because of me." "I didn't do it for your sake but for my own, so that I can live on." "It's because I don't want to lose the reason that enables me to live on." "Is Nam Jo not back yet?" "That's right." "All right, continue looking for him." "Yes." "Something must have happened." "Did you say all the Silla captives have escaped?" "Yes." "How did this happen, who is responsible for this?" "I'm not sure whether I should tell you what I heard a few days ago." "Prince Gyo Gi met with the Tang envoy." "Gyo Gi?" "Then are you saying this is Gyo Gi's work?" "I am not sure about that, but it could be related." "Where did you hear this from?" "Because of the diplomatic issue between Prince Gyo Gi and the Tang, differences seemed to arise between Your Majesty and him." "I was afraid something might happen, so I ordered someone to follow him." "Are you saying you expected this to happen?" "Although that's not what I expected..." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "You are..." "= Next Episode Preview =" "We were almost exposed." "I order Ui Ja to return to secular life as Prince Ui Ja." "Do you want to drag Her Majesty down?" "Once everything is completed, I think they will rebel." "You must be careful." "Don't let her live." "Who was the person who brought you here?" "I am the mastermind." "When they die, let them all be buried as martyrs." "Wake up, Your Majesty!" "Why did His Majesty suddenly collapse?" "The person who to administer the country's affairs should be Prince Gyo Gi." "This battle will not end." "Whether it's Your Majesty or me, neither of us are good reasons." "Our days will be happy days from now on." "It has to be that way." "From now on, I won't let you go."
