"You asked who I am?" "Even I have forgotten." "Be careful." "It's really dark." "There's no one else..." "Just me..." "Is that you, Musong?" "Yeah, it's me." "What brings you here?" "You've locked me up in this dark prison for years." "Why do you care now?" "Who are they?" "It's their first time here." "How can you tell when you're blind?" "Isn't one of the two a woman?" "I haven't smelled a woman in years." "What brings you here?" "Never tell anyone I was here." "Let it slip and you and your family will be killed." "OK, sir." "Open up, open up." "My goodness." "Jumo!" "Jumo!" "Jumo!" "Jumo!" "There you are." "Get out of here." "And don't show up anymore." "I'll see you at Mt." "Chunma." "Why was the Prime Minister here?" "You saw him?" "What did he want with the prisoner?" "Do you know who he is and what he did?" "No, I don't." "And even if I did I can't tell you." "So don't ask me anything else." "Just get out of here for now." "Get out, get out." "I too wonder... why I'm here... and how long it's been." "I've been wondering... for countless years... but I still don't know." "You asked who I am?" "Even I have forgotten." "Jumong leaves the Palace every day." "What does he do out there?" "I put a tail on him... but he keeps losing him." "Bring him to the training grounds." "OK." "Daeso is looking for you." "Come with me." "What is it?" "You'll find out when you get there." "I heard you leave the Palace often." "What for?" "Nothing really." "I was just bored of the Palace." "You seem to be training with a sword." "Let me teach you a move or two." "Attack first." "I'm no match for you." "I'm not good enough." "You pathetic fool." "You should at least have the courage." "Where will that attitude get you?" "He's giving you a chance." "Why won't you take it?" "Step out of the way." "Don't worry." "I'm only trying to help." "Make the first move." "Come on." "Just one more tip." "No matter what I'd said... you shouldn't have accepted my challenge." "Reckless courage can kill you." " Hello." " Who's there?" "It's me." "Prince Jumong?" "That's me." "Why are you here so late at night?" "I missed you." "Here." "The place is a mess." "I'm sorry." "It's my fault for coming without notice." "It's fine." "That tastes so good." "Do you remember?" "You came here with His Majesty when you were young... (Mopalmo, Director of iron chamber) and asked for a bronze mirror." "I did." "I make great swords... but all you wanted was a mirror." "You sneaked me the King's wine then too." "My mother still uses that bronze mirror." "What brings you here?" "You even brought me wine." "Do you need another bronze mirror?" "I am at the iron chamber all day but I still hear of you now and then." "I heard you even made a move on a Shrine maid." "It's natural for a young man to like women." "If you need a bronze mirror I'll make you one." "I'm not here for a bronze mirror." "I need a sword." "A sword?" "A sword that doesn't break." "I want a sword that doesn't break, just like the one Daeso has." "He's a loyal fellow who will do all you ask." "My name is Naro." "He will follow you like a shadow." "Thank you, Uncle." "You may leave us." " Uncle Won." " Yes, Your Highness." "My mother is worried Father might make Jumong Crown Prince." "What do you think?" "Do you really think he can leave the throne to Jumong?" "Considering how much he cares forJumong, it is possible." "Any possible hindrance must be taken care of beforehand." "I'll help you, Your Highness." "I beg of you." "I'll get you as much wine as you want." "That's not the issue here." "You know that already." "Weapons can't be taken out of the iron chamber without permission." "I'm a dead man if I'm caught smuggling or telling others how they're made." "Mopalmo." "It's for my own safety." "I have no other intentions." "And if something goes wrong I promise I won't name you." "Mopalmo, please." "Mopalmo." "What do you mean the Sunbi tribe is provoking us?" "Your last expedition scared them... and they retreated beyond the Yoha River." "But they recently crossed to our side and burned and plundered three towns." "And the soldiers there did nothing?" "Your Majesty, the soldiers fought hard." "But they're not the tribe they used to be." "I already wiped out their main army." "How could they raise an army so soon?" "The towns weren't attacked by an army." "The Sunbi attacked swiftly and in small numbers." "And they had superior iron weapons." "We were no match for them." "That's impossible unless the Han helped." "I thought so too but..." " We shouldn'tjump to..." " Your Majesty." "I have important news." "Hyunto's new governor is on his way to Puyo." "What do you mean?" "Why is he coming here instead of heading to Hyunto?" "He wants to meet Your Majesty before going to Hyunto." "Who is the new governor?" "We do not know." "The Sunbi tribe armed with iron... and now the new governor..." "Prime Minister." "Summon all my subjects." "I will, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "I believe the Sunbi tribe's plundering... and the new governor's visit is unrelated." "Only a few of the Sunbi tribe are armed with iron... which they probably smuggled across the borders." "Hyunto's governor has never visited Puyo in the past... but it can only be seen as a friendly visit." "Court Minister." "We can't afford to be so optimistic." "The Sunbi attack our villages armed with iron weapons... just when Hyunto's new governor comes to visit." "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" "I agree with the Prime Minister." "Our growing territory is bothering the Han." "I think they provided the Sunbi with iron weapons to restrain us... while they send the new governor to tell us to stop our expeditions." "The Chief General is right." "You must be ready, Your Majesty." "Chief General." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Pick out 200 men and arm them with iron weapons." "Go to the Yoha River and wipe out the Sunbi tribe." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Prime Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Go to the iron chamber and spur them on." "I will, Your Majesty." "Sayong, have you heard?" "Hyunto's new governor is coming." "What gives?" "They used to summon the chiefs whenever they wanted." "Yes, I heard." "Father and I made a bet." "I say the Han want to make up... and my father thinks he's here to stop Puyo's territorial expansion." "What do you think?" "I'll win, right?" "I did bet on it but I don't think it's that simple." "Let's hear what you think." "The Han provided the iron weapons to see how Puyo would respond." "Knowing the King's temperament he'll try harder to make better swords." "The new governor is here to check how far they've gone." "Isn't producing iron your long-term goal as well?" "Have you thought about how it will profit us?" "Your problem is that you merely enjoy flexing your wisdom." "Remember, it can be the death of you." "He's only saying that because he cares." "Now that he's given us an assignment shall we start planning ahead?" "Hire someone who will tell us all that goes on in the Puyo Palace." "I've found someone but his demands are too high." "Does he want my business?" "Does he want all my land?" "The fate of our nation is at stake." "Give him what he wants." "I will, my Lord." "My Lord." " My Lord..." " What do you know?" "Gosh..." "A man named Dochi is in charge of trade in Puyo." "He owns a slaughterhouse, smuggles everything... and even kills people." "Dochi..." "I want to know more about him." "OK, my Lord." " Be careful, don't drop any." " OK." "(Dochi)" "What brings you here?" "You've locked me up in this dark prison for years." "Why do you care now?" "Who are they?" "It's their first time here." "Yeomieul, Lady Yuhwa is here." " Isn't this your first visit?" " It is." "I was surprised." "I would've expected you if you'd told me in advance." "Oh, no." "I wasn't sure whether I should come at all." "Thank you for welcoming me." "Don't mention it." "I have nothing but tea to offer but you can come any time." "Is something troubling you?" "Is it Prince Jumong?" "Yes." "I never knew he'd bring this much trouble to the royal family." "I was so worried I couldn't even sleep." "Then I thought of you." "I'm like an island in this vast palace." "I want to reach out, to talk and get some advice." "Yeomieul." "I don't know how to put this." "Will you be my bridge to the outside world?" "I understand how you feel but I'm not sure if I can." "I'll help you as much as I can." "Thank you." " What is it?" " Have a look." "Embroidered with gold thread?" "It's beautiful." "I'm glad you like it." "She went to the Shrine an hour ago." " Isn't it her first visit?" " It is, Your Highness." "What is she up to now?" "Find out what she's up to." "I will, Your Highness." "Did I surprise you?" " Mopalmo." " Follow me." "This is the puddling furnace we use to melt iron." "We adjust the fire by checking how red these three iron bars are." "Pour the liquid iron into this cast and it will take shape." "But this isn't a real sword." "It's only shaped like one." "You have to heat it again in an underground furnace." "It's not that hot... but heating it then cooling it slowly strengthens the iron." "You then pound on the sword to make sure it's evened out." "Then you heat it again and pound on it again." "That should be good enough." "I'll temper it for a few more days." "The sword I presented to the King had been tempered more than that... but it couldn't withstand the Han iron sword." "I just don't know... what their secret is." "Mopalmo." "Mopalmo." "Stop right there." "Do you have something?" "I'm on my way to see the Crown Prince." "What is it?" "Tell me." " But I should tell..." " You fool!" "Tell me right now!" "Is Jumong really making a sword in the iron chamber?" "Yes." "What a golden opportunity." "Don't report this to Daeso." "I'll take care of it myself." "Just do as I say." "Understand?" "Yes." "Yangjung, Hyunto's new governor would like to pay his respects." "Yangjung." "Your Majesty." "How have you been?" "Your Majesty." "A drink to your health and the welfare of Puyo?" "Yangjung, it's great to know you're now Hyunto's governor." "How can I reject an old friend's offer?" "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Your turn now." "It's an honor, Your Majesty." "I was wary to hear you'd be coming here even before going to Hyunto." "I thought the Han was up to something." "I'm relieved to hear you came because you missed me." "I'm honored to hear that, Your Majesty." "Come on, Yangjung." "Let's talk like we used to, at least for today." "Your Majesty." "You're a ruler of a nation and I am a mere governor from Hyunto." "Yangjung..." "I am here because I missed you." "But I'm also here to bring you a letter from our Emperor." "Did you really come to give me this?" "We will no longer look over Puyo's conquests." "They aren't conquests!" "I'm only bringing together what had been separated." "It's none of your business." "Haengin, Okjuh and other tribes are using Puyo weaponry." "Forbid this as well." "Return to Hyunto immediately." "The next time we meet, we meet as enemies." "Your Majesty!" "You should know I'm the one who armed the Sunbi." "Ignore me and I will arm 5,000 of the Eupru tribe as well." "20,000 Han soldiers will back them up." "Do you want an all-out war?" "Your Majesty." "It's my fault for not taking the appropriate measures." "I'll pay with my life." "It's not just his fault." "Yangjung knows Puyo very well." "It seems like he's been preparing for a long time." "Your Majesty." "Avoid the rain until Puyo's sun rises again." "Listen up." "I vow I will pay them back before I die." "Your Majesty!" "Prime Minister." "Shut the iron chamber down and hide it." "And tell the Chief General to return at once." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I understand." "You and your men must not move an inch from the hideout." "Of course." "Don't worry." "They'll never be able to find us." "What are you waiting for?" "Move." "Yes, sir." "Let me in." "I'm from the iron chamber." "I'm Mopalmo, the director!" " I already said no." " Why are you here?" "Oh, it's you." "Let me in." "I must see Prince Jumong." "Let me in." "The Hyunto governor is here." "No one can enter." "It's an emergency." "I must see Prince Jumong." "Then I'll go and bring him out." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Thanks." "Prince Jumong's not in the Palace." "What?" "What are you doing here?" "We need to go." "This is driving me crazy." "Ten bouts with your teacher." "What an improvement." "You have a fine teacher." "Great wine." "I will use a sword that never breaks." "I'll soon own the strongest sword out there." "Will you accept if I challenge you with a genuine sword?" "Suit yourself." "A genuine sword?" "Yes." "Gosh, I only went easy on you so you won't get discouraged." "Bring it on any time, if you're not afraid of losing a limb." "I don't think there is an iron chamber." "That can't be." "The spies told me there is one." "Search until you find evidence." "I will, Governor." "What is it?" "I think there's a fire." "Find out what happened." "Yes, Governor." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Water!" "More water!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Fire!" "Over there!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Put it out!" "What?" "You were behind this?" "Yes." "Jumong fell into my trap." " He'll be punished." " You fool!" "Daeso..." "You idiot." "Don't you know what you got us into?" "The Han might turn against us because of you." "What do you mean?" "Hyunto's governor is here to check our iron weaponry production." "The King ordered we hide all evidence of the iron chamber." "Now the governor knows everything." "Getting rid of Jumong is important... but how dare you forsake the country?" "Can't you think?" "Are you that stupid?" "Forgive me." "I didn't know about that." "Forgive me, Daeso." "There's no use regretting it now." "You'll be punished if people find out." "Be extra careful and see how things go." "OK..." "What is this?" "Didn't you say there's no iron chamber?" "My sources tell me yours is bigger than Hyunto's." "And that your weapons are even stronger than sponge iron." "Do you still deny it?" "Consider this a friend's last warning." "Shut down the iron chamber and stop producing iron weaponry." "All trade between us will be ceased until it is confirmed." "Prince Jumong has been causing you much trouble." "You were so merciful as to forgive his faults..." " But this is different." " Your Majesty." "Prince Jumong must've known no one is allowed in the iron chamber." "Disobeying your commands is one thing... but he has also endangered Puyo." "He is a prince but he deserves to be punished." "Passing this over will weaken your authority." "Please make a wise decision." "Bring Prince Jumong to me." "Explain why you did such a thing." "It's all my fault." " I'll take any punishment." " You!" "You are no longer a prince." "Leave the Palace." "Father." "I said I'd take any punishment... but please take that back." "I'll never embarrass you again." " Forgive me." " Shut your mouth!" "I can forgive you for causing a great loss." "I can even forgive you for the humiliation you caused." "But!" "I can't forgive you for betraying my expectations." "Leave the Palace immediately!" "Father!" "You heard me!" "Kick him out at once!" "Father!" "Father!" "Please take it back!" "Father!" "Father!" "Please forgive me!" "Father!" "Father!" "Please forgive me!" "Father!" "Father!" " Your Highness..." " What happened?" "What happened?" "He lost his title and got kicked out of the Palace." "I knew this would happen." "It worked out for the best." "I've been meaning to drive him off a cliff." "He must climb up alone if he wants to fulfill his mission." " This worked out for the best." " Your Highness..." "What happened?" "He lost his title and got kicked out of the Palace." " Daeso." " That's great." "That eyesore got rid of himself." "Daeso." "The biggest obstacle is out of the way." "You only need to watch yourself." "All you have to do is gain His Majesty's approval." " My dear brother." " Yes, Your Highness." "Do all you can to make His Majesty approve." "Of course I will." "I'll suggest he invest Daeso as soon as possible." "I'm here to see my mother." "Tell her I'm here." "Your Highness..." "I'm no longer a prince." "I must leave the Palace." "I'm here to say goodbye." "Tell her I'm here." "Her Highness doesn't want to see you." "I see..." "Take good care of her." "Your Highness." "Take this." "Just some accessories." "It's not much but they'll come in handy." "Take them." "It's OK." "How will you survive when you don't know a soul?" "You'll need it." "Is he gone?" "Yes, Your Highness." "Go to your brother right now." "He's the only other person Jumong knows." "He's bound to go there." "Tell him to avoid Jumong." "Your Highness, must you...?" "Do as I say." "I will, Your Highness." "Why are you here?" " I'm here to see the director." " The prison director?" "Who?" " Musong." " He's not here." "He's not here?" "He was here some time ago." "Where did he go?" "I don't know." "I have a new boss so get lost." "I'm going to get you for this." "What?" "Catch me if you can." "Oh, you got me." "Ow." "Oh, my goodness!" "Blood!" "You made me bleed!" "Do you see this?" "Look at this." "Consider that payment for the millet I borrowed." "I don't owe you anything." "You sneaky rascal!" "Where do you think you're going?" "What was that?" "You call that payment?" "Fine." "My millet was so expensive you get a punch for every grain!" "Oh!" "He's going to kill me!" "Save me!" "Please!" "Save me!" " Let me go!" " Save me, please!" "You sneaky rascal!" "You wretch!" "Dang..." "You jerk." "That was some punch." "You could've killed me." "I went easy on you." "You're as strong as you are stupid." "How did it go?" "We got lucky today." "Well?" "Where did you get this?" "None of your business." "Give us what it's worth." "These are for special people." "Of course they are." "I'm sure they're for rich people." "Not just any rich person." "These belong to royalty." "Royalty?" "Who cares if they're for the rich or the royal?" "How much can you give me?" " 50 bronze coins." " What?" "Are you kidding?" "Just 50 coins for ornaments used by royalty?" "Forget it then." "Find yourself another dealer." "Give me ten more." "55 coins then." "It's a deal." "Want some?" "It's fresh." "Me." "Here." "Ah." "Buyoung." "What's this?" "You have it." "Why should I?" " That'll be three coins." " Oh?" "Thank you." "Come again!" "I can forgive you for causing a great loss." "I can even forgive you for the humiliation you caused." "But!" "I can't forgive you for betraying my expectations." "Leave the Palace immediately!" "How much is it?" "Two bronze coins." "I'm sorry." "I lost all I have." "You thief." "How dare you attempt to eat without paying!" "Guys!" "Take this jerk away!" "Wait..." " Wait." " I'll pay for that." "What?" "Did you say two coins?" "Yes." "The prince of Puyo doesn't even have that much?" "I'll pay you back." "You don't need to." "I'll consider it charity." "Let's go." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "I have something to say." "Hire me as a worker." "I can pay you back and be of service." "I was born on the road and learnt the trade first hand." "The first thing I learned is that trust is most important." "How can I hire a liar like you?" "I can't afford to hire a prince." "Do excuse me."
