"What about the ironsmiths?" "None of them made it." "Are you saying Yuri's in there?" "Yes, Your Majesty." " Your Majesty!" " Your Majesty!" "Prince Yuri was in there!" "Prince Yuri!" "Yuri!" "Yuri!" "Your Majesty!" " Yuri!" " Your Majesty!" "Let me go!" " Yuri!" " Your Majesty!" " Let me go!" " Your Majesty!" "What did you just say?" "Prince Yuri was in the dorm?" "Yes." "Where is the Emperor?" "He's at the iron chamber." "Your Majesty." "I can't believe this." "Your Majesty, please kill me." "This is all my fault." "I'll pay with my life." "OfficerJaesa." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Gather the ironsmiths and Yuri's body." " Chief General." " Yes, Your Highness." "Find out who's behind this." "I will." "There was no fight." "They were assassinated." "Who do you think did this?" "As of now, we can't say." "Did you find Prince Yuri's body?" "It's a total mess." "I can't tell who's who." "Look carefully!" "We should at least find his body!" "You think I don't want to?" "Do it yourself then." "What?" "Stop fighting, will you?" "!" "Dang!" "Jeez..." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "My goodness..." "Your Highness..." "Your Majesty." "Prince Yuri is alive!" "Yuri." "What happened?" "I'm sorry for causing you concern." "I escaped when I saw the fire." "I saw the arsonist and went after him." "He's a Han soldier." "Summon the officers!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" "How the heck did the infiltrators get by Palace Garrison?" "How will we beat the Han if you're slacking off like this?" "Forgive me, Your Majesty." "We're about to go to war." "We need the iron chamber even more." "If they burned the iron chamber... they might even reach the Palace next." "Your Majesty." "Punish the Head of Palace Garrison and make an example of him." "Head of Guards." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Strip Chansoo of his title and imprison him." "I will." "Your Majesty." "Until now, we let anyone pass through Koguryo's borders." "More spies will get through." "We must tighten inspection until the war is over." "Sure." "Arms Master." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Inspect the damages and report back." "I will." "What'll happen to Chansoo?" "He'll be punished severely." "The assassins got into Palace grounds." "Everyone here's praising Yuri now." "We wouldn't have known who did it if it hadn't been for him." "Yuri." "Are you OK?" "Yes." "It was a close call." "Losing the ironsmiths was bad enough." "The Emperor would've been distraught if something had happened to you too." "He seems worried to see you can't settle down." "From now on, act like a prince." "OK." "Have a seat." "What is it?" "Your Highness." "Please help me." "Get the Emperor to forgive Chansoo." "Do you mean that?" "All our ironsmiths died at a very crucial time." "Chansoo didn't do his job and you want him to be forgiven?" "He should be punished for what he did." "Your Highness." "Even if Piryu or Onjo were in Chansoo's shoes..." "I still wouldn't dare ask for forgiveness." "You're dismissed." "How long will it take to rebuild the iron chamber?" "Focus all our resources and it should take about a month." "But we lost our veteran ironsmiths." "It takes more than ten years to train a veteran ironsmith." "An iron chamber is nothing without veteran ironsmiths." "This is what the Han were after." "Your Majesty." "If the Yodong army attacks us with reinforcements from the Capital... before we get our act together, it might work against us." "Arms Master, is there nothing we can do?" "I bet I'm as strong as three of your ironsmiths." "Strength isn't all when it comes to making steel." "Arms Master." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I promised Puyo that I'd share our parching technology." "Would the Puyo ironsmiths be able to fill in the gap?" "Puyo doesn't have the technology but their men are very skilled." "If they could come over, we should be able to make it." "Officers Jaesa and Mari." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Go to Puyo with the food, salt and medicine I promised them." "And escort the ironsmiths so we can teach them." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Head of Guards." "Organize the ironsmiths' funeral and look after their families." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I couldn't understand why the Emperor offered to share our technology." "Now I wonder if he knew this would happen." "If King Daeso finds out what happened, he won't send the ironsmiths." "We mustn't give it away." "Then we must leave immediately." "(Yodong Commandery)" "Governor." "The infiltrators we sent are back." "What happened to the iron chamber?" "They burned the ironsmiths' dorm." "There were no survivors." "Good, they did it." "Koguryo is now powerless." "Give 50 rolls of silk to the infiltrators." "Yes, Governor." "Listen up." "Koguryo has no ironsmiths and we'll have reinforcements." "We will surely win this war." "It's time to conquer Koguryo and prove our loyalty!" "Yes, Governor." "Your Majesty." "Thank you for saving me." "You think I wanted to?" "I had to give in to Mother's plea." "Stop making a mess and stay put." "I'll give all I have to you and Puyo." "Of course you should." "We saved your life." "You're dismissed." "How did the negotiation go?" "We got what we wanted." "They will give us food and weapons." "Good." "I'll use both Koguryo and the Han to make us stronger." "Encourage the officers and make it happen." "I'll serve you with all my heart." "Your Majesty." "Emperor Jumong sent two envoys." "What brings you here?" "We're here as our part of the alliance." "Emperor Jumong sends food and salt, like he promised." "Thank you." "He also said he'd share your parching technology." "When will he do that?" "Did he change his mind?" "Emperor Jumong never breaks his promise." "Send us some of your ironsmiths and we'll teach them." "Prime Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Send some veteran ironsmiths to go to Koguryo with the envoys." "I will, Your Majesty." "I'm glad King Daeso doesn't know what happened." "Let's hurry them and leave as soon as we can." "Let's do that." "Chansoo." "Mother." "Look what they did to you." "I'm OK." "Don't worry about me." "I know you're in the wrong but the Emperor went too far." "No." "I messed up and everyone might suffer." "I must be punished." "Losing your title is more than enough." "He can't imprison you too." "This is absurd." "I'll do something about this." "Mother, don't." "You'll only cause more disruption." "Disruption?" "You're right about that." "You're in here because the Emperor doesn't trust Jolbon's people." "I can't take this anymore." "I'll get you out of here." "Bear with me." "Mother." "Mother!" "Am I wrong?" "He treats us like this even with Sosuhno and Yuntabal around." "What'll happen in the future?" "But it's too dangerous." "If things go wrong, he'll kill all our relatives." "It'll happen sooner or later." "Are you in or not?" "How have you been?" "Welcome." "We brought the ironsmiths to learn your technology." "We'll be very grateful if you'll teach them all you know." "I'll keep my promise." "Don't worry." "If you really do, we'll send men and horses to help you fight the Han." "If Puyo and Koguryo join forces, we will surely beat the Han." "Counselor." "Yes?" "Prepare a feast for the envoys and ironsmiths." "I will, Your Majesty." "What did you find out?" "Sangchun is Emperor Jumong's son Yuri." "Yuri was alive?" "I used to work with many of the ironsmiths." "They're all skilled veterans... so I'm sure we can catch up on everything." "The gods are helping us beat the Han." "Encourage the ironsmiths and spur them on." "I will, Your Majesty." "We can strengthen our army once the ironsmiths return." "He's right." "Koguryo was able to expand in a short matter of time... because they had steel swords." "Thanks to your wisdom, we received supplies from both nations." "Once we have steel weapons... you can conquer the world." "Your Majesty, Yodong's governor is here." "Let him in." "I will." "What brings you here?" "I'm here to plan a strategy on how to conquer Koguryo." "We're ready to go to war." "We'll attack as soon as 20,000 men arrive from the Capital." "Your Emperor will send 20,000 men?" "That's right." "It'll take some time for them to reach Yodong." "Koguryo is preparing for war too." "What if they attack you before the reinforcements arrive?" "They'll never manage." "Don't worry." "How can you be so sure?" "My men burned the iron chamber and killed all their ironsmiths." "Even if they rebuild the iron chamber... what can they do without their veteran ironsmiths?" "Did you really kill their ironsmiths?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "If we join forces now, nothing can stop us from beating them." "I can't believe we sent the ironsmiths." "They fooled me." "We ended up helping Koguryo." "How come our spies didn't report this to me?" "!" "Forgive me." "Why don't we ask them to send the men back?" "And with what excuse?" "Let's just let them learn their technology." "Your Majesty, think positively." "If Yodong's governor gets his way, the Han will get the upper hand." "That means we'll be caught in the middle of a power struggle." "We need the Han and Koguryo to level out." "I'm back." "Good job." "Your Majesty, I have some urgent news." "Sangchun, the man who won the tournament... was in Koguryo's Palace." "What was he doing there?" "Sangchun is Emperor Jumong's son Yuri." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness." " Your Highness." " What now?" "Come outside." "I'm sick and tired of listening to you." "Look at the mess I'm in because of you." "You're the worst tactician ever." "Why bring up the past now?" "Leave the past behind and prepare yourself for our future." "Where do you want me to go?" "I have something that'll make you feel better." "Really?" "What are they doing?" "Are you serious?" "Yes." "Then I should join in." "Follow me." "Sure." "Sorceress Mauryung." "What brings you here?" "I heard you're cursing Jumong." "I hate him just as much as you do." "Let me pray with you." "The more the merrier." "Join in." "Emperor Jumong is casting a dark cloud upon Puyo." "Please curse EmperorJumong... and free Puyo of all our sufferings." "Dear gods..." "Dear gods..." "Dear gods..." "Dear gods..." "Go and check on her." "What?" "Go and check on Sorceress Mauryung!" "What's wrong?" "She's dead!" "What?" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness, let's go." "Lightning struck and killed Mauryung?" "Yes." "During a service to curse EmperorJumong." "Do you know Sorceress Mauryung is dead?" "Yes." "Do you know how she died?" "Yes, I heard." "I've hated and cursed Emperor Jumong for a long time." "But he still managed to build a prosperous nation." "Perhaps the gods are helping him." "Don't be hostile towards him anymore." "I don't want to lose you." "Mother, I won't die that easily." "Don't worry." "That was too much!" " Just half that amount." " OK, Master." " Arms Master." " Welcome." "How are things?" "Everything's fine." "The weapons will be ready in due time." "How about the sotan and smoke bombs?" "We'll have them ready by the deadline." "Your Majesty." "Puyo's ironsmiths have settled in." "We can meet the deadline after all." "We shifted the men from Puyo to Yodong's border." "Officer Mari." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Send envoys to Haengin and North Okjuh to discuss the formation of our men." "I will." "Your Majesty." "I have something to say." "What is it?" "The Han killed all our ironsmiths." "Why don't we avenge their poor souls first?" "He's right." "It will get our men's spirits up too." "Our spies in Yodong told me that Hwangjasung, the governor's brother... will visit Yodong, arriving ahead of his troops." "Let me take some troops and kill him." "That's a great idea." "I'll lead the troops myself." "Yuri, you may accompany me." "Your Majesty." "I don't think you should go." "He's right." "Send the Chief General instead." "I already told you I won't rest until we've beaten the Han." "Chief General." "Prepare for departure." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Have a seat." "What brings you here?" "We're worried about you." "Did you see the look the Emperor gave Prince Yuri?" "He's never looked at you that way." "What do you mean?" "He trusts Prince Yuri more than he trusts you." "This is only the beginning." "He'll favor Prince Yuri even more." "Rumor has it that Lady Yesoya will become the Empress." "If that happens, Prince Yuri will be the Crown Prince." "Are you going to let that happen?" "I heard my mother did a lot to help establish Koguryo." "Would the Emperor desert her now?" "Why not?" "She was already crossed once." "What do you mean?" "You were too young at the time... but your mother was supposed to rule Koguryo." "The Damul Army was in Mt." "Bongye and Jolbon was centered around Keru." "Your mother took the Damul Army in and financed all their missions." "That's how we took over Hyunto and established Koguryo." "But she yielded her rights and married the Emperor to end a dispute." "He can't make Yesoya the Empress and Yuri the Crown Prince." "Your Highness." "Prince Piryu's here." "Let him in." "I will." "What is it?" "I have a question." "Go on." "Mother." "I heard a strange rumor." "What's that?" "That Lady Yesoya will become Empress when she recovers." "Is it true?" "I don't know how you heard... but it's what I want." "Mother." "What'll happen to us?" "To Onjo?" "What good does a title do anyway?" "I'm fine as long as I can help the Emperor do his will." "I won't let it happen." "Yuri's younger than I am." "I won't let him become Crown Prince." "Piryu." "I won't let it happen." "Attack!" "Governor!" "Governor." "What is it?" "The Koguryo army attacked your brother on his way here." "What was that?" "He was attacked?" "How is he?" "How's my brother?" "I'm sorry." "My brother..." "Who was it?" "Who did this?" "Emperor Jumong led the men himself." "Jumong?" "That wretch!" "I'll kill every single man in Koguryo." "I'll make sure no one gets out alive." "The wretch." "You..." "I won't let it happen." "Yuri's younger than I am." "I won't let him become Crown Prince." "Your Highness." "The royal physician says Lady Yesoya has recovered." "Stay in bed." "I'm so glad to see you've recovered." "Forgive me for causing you concern." "What concern?" "Don't say that." "The Emperor will be very happy when he hears of this." "Thank you for getting better." "Your Highness." "Now that I'm better..." "I'll leave." "What are you talking about?" "You only just met the Emperor." "Why do you want to leave?" "I just wanted to make sure Yuri found his father." "If I'd wanted to meet the Emperor, I'd have come a long time ago." "I'll ruin everything you worked so hard to accomplish." "I don't want to be a stumbling block to Emperor Jumong's mission." "Don't say that." "You're his first wife." "You should be the Empress." "I can't do that." "I can't do that." "Your Highness." "The Emperor is back." "How did it go?" "He killed the governor's brother." "Do you think you can walk?" "Let's go and greet him together." "Mother." "Yesoya." "Your Majesty." "Thank you for raising Yuri so well." "I've done nothing for him." "You have." "He has a firm character and he's a skilled fighter too." "He'll help me beat the Han and build a strong nation." "I promise I'll make things better." "Your Majesty..." "What do you want me to do?" "We're ready to kill the Emperor and Prince Yuri." "Are you plotting treason?" "It's not treason." "We're putting things right." "The Emperor will take Prince Yuri to inspect the border." "That's when we'll take action." "After we succeed, we'll make you our Emperor." "We'll launch a surprise attack after the Emperor leaves Taebong." "If we succeed, you'll all become nobles... and your families will prosper for generations!" "What brings you here?" "Yuncheryung and Yangtak hired Malgal mercenaries." "They did it in secret." "They must be up to something." "Where's Emperor Jumong?" "He's probably inspecting Taebong now." "Father." "Get the troops ready."
