"Even though you've lost an arm, you're still Joseon's finest swordsman." "Since you're still alive, it is not completely so." "Well..." "If you say it like that, then I'm very grateful." "But..." "You know..." "The place for your sword is the only one still empty." "Are you inside?" "Since I have already seen you, I'll just go back." "Your sword..." "Clean it well and wait for me." "You have become more talkative." "Indeed, the passage of time... cannot be avoided." "I am leaving." "See me out." "=Heuk Sa Mo=" "Hyeongnim, what exactly is going on?" "(Hyeongnim - respected older brother)" "Hyeongnim, what exactly is going on?" "Why are you letting someone we harbor so much hatred for leave just like this?" "He did not come here for blood." "Have some patience." "Is it because you're old already or... because you're scared since you lost an arm?" "How are you going to face Sa Goeng hyeongnim when you meet him in Hades in the future?" "Enough." "Stop it." "Let's go in." "Hyeongnim!" "What is going on?" "Just one look, and I'm getting the shivers already." "But I'm Baek Dong Su." "Sky Lord, there is something I would like to ask." "Go on." "Cheon?" "The person who killed my father..." "Who is it?" "What are you talking about?" "He had to die anyway." "Although my hatred for him was enough to make me kill, but..." "a father will always be a father, right?" "Please tell me." "You said the killer is an unreachable person, and he is at a place higher than Tae San and higher than the sky." "And so..." "Could it be the Crown Prince?" "You're right." "Why?" "What was the Crown Prince's reason for killing my father?" "It's just as simple as slaying the dogs after the rabbits are cooked." "After a hunt, dogs that are no longer useful will be slaughtered for food." "On His Royal Highness's hands, I doubt there will be any blood stains." "Who was the person that plunged the sword into my father's body?" "Don't tell me... it's Sword Saint?" "If that is the truth, what do you plan to do?" "What?" "Who is that person?"

"Yeo Un?" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Hey... hey!" "Don't bother with him." "Let's drink!" "Fill it up." "Drink up!" "This brat can drink." "Isn't this Yeo Un?" "What are you doing here?" "Where is Dong Su?" "He should be in the wine tent." "Wine tent?" "Hyeongnim, please wait here for a moment." "I'll go get that Dong Su kid." "You're..." "Cho Sang's son?" "Yes." "Why are your eyes filled with such an intense desire to kill?" "Do you..." "have something to say to me?" "One and a half step." "If I can hack off his neck at the same time I draw my sword, that would be enough." "Why aren't you speaking?" "I must pull my sword now." "Now!" "Your killer aura is too strong." "If it's the sky, Do you have the guts to hack it?" "In the future when we have grown up, will you marry me?" "Who are you?" "Hello." "It's been long since we last met." "Long?"

"I am sorry to have troubled you." "I don't care." "Seriously..." "Take care so you don't catch a cold." "Indeed it is this child." "Hyeongnim." "I actually... failed to recognize you." "Fate..." "This must be fate." "I say, you're no longer young." "If you use such a weird technique and attract people's attention, you may lose your life very soon." "Well, I..." "Of course I came looking for you to have a duel!" "Although I would really love to spar with you now, this is a very sacred place." "So, today... just leave the mountain quietly." "Understand?"

"Wait!" "No, that... each other..." "There seems to be a misunderstanding." "Stop it this instant." "Retreat and things will be fine." "See that?" "That fellow is Joseon's best swordsman." "And as for me..." "Your martial art skills are not ordinary..." "What do you do?" "Enough!" "Do you mean to say that you can give up your limb for a comrade?" "No." "It's not like that."

"I'm very grateful that all of you have grown up to be so strong and healthy." "All of you will become the future of Joseon." "You'll be sent to Gang Hwa." "Prepare some travel expenses." "Hey, just stop this!" "It's considered fortunate that you were able to retain your life." "In front of His Highness, who else in this world has ever scolded him like that?" "Aish..." "What is this?" "Un!" "What is wrong with you now?" "Aish!" "What?" "From what I see, there are problems with the both of you." "And it's pretty serious!" "It is pretty serious." "You're ready to kill." "Do you want to have a drink?" "Fine." "Have a seat." "Do you know... the two of you are like my sons." "You being friends with my father, I've heard of it." "The kind who's willing to give up our lives for each other... the kind of good friends you rarely find." "But... then why did you kill them?" "I turned to look, but none of them are with me now." "Why did you kill my father?" "!" "I can do it." "If I do it now, I can kill him." "Do you have the confidence?" "When you're handling the sword, you must have confidence in yourself." "What do you mean by that?" "You can lie to me." "But the look in your eyes won't lie." "I was with your father all the time." "Although we didn't speak," "I could feel it in my heart that he has handed you over into my care." "Allow me to care for you." "There is a place I would like to go visit." "What are you doing?" "My daughter." "Father!" "Your daughter has already grown up." "Shouldn't you think twice before you enter my room?" "You're right." "I was just afraid that you would secretly go off somewhere to steal again." "That's why I came to check if you were in your room." "Ah, right." "Since you've already seen me, you can disappear now." "Fine, fine, fine." "What is this?" "What?" "Those are the stuff from a few days ago when I went to Mo Hwa Ru..." "Mo Hwa Ru?" "What is this?" "What is this, Jin Ju?" "Jin Ju!"

"Rumor has it that he is highly-skilled and untraceable." "Ji, you..." "Have you forgotten that I'm the third lord of Heuksa Chorong?" "Good." "If you bring the chikseo, I'll reward you 10,000 Yang." "If you also bring Hwang Jin Gi's head, I'll reward you 20,000 Yang." "Then I assume you trust me and won't act recklessly on your own." "A message from Lord Hong Dae Ju."
