"It looks like... my journey will end here." "Father!" "Move me... to the shrine." "A king... shall not walk to the netherworld... from such lavish dwellings." "He shan't perish next to his subjects, and only the crown prince... shall witness his last moments." "How can I let you enter that wintry shrine..." "I can't do that." "That is... a monarch's calling." "Should even the most dreadful, painful moment... trap you inside your kingly mask?" "Not even such feeble hopes can kindle the path of a ruler?" "I shan't... allow you to leave us like that." "Is it true His Majesty is being moved to the shrine?" "It's what he wishes for." "But His Highness is strenuously opposing that." "It makes no sense." "Why leave such a place for that shrine?" "He shan't be disturbed, whatever might happen." "We didn't completely subjugate the rebel forces yet." "You never know what Baegeuk might scheme." "We cannot delay it any longer." "You must accept His Majesty's wishes, and announce it to the people." "How can we do that?" "No matter if those might be his wishes, we can't do that." "Your Highness." "I know very well how painful all this is for you." " But..." " My father... has lived his entire life in lonesome despair." "How can we send him away, engulfed by loneliness?" "You must convince him, Your Excellency." "You have been a faithful compeer of my father for your entire life, so if you earnestly ask him, he will change his mind." "He's showing how a Goguryeo king can survive in spirit... through the generations, and how his legacy never dies." "His Majesty wishes to prove to the people his mandate of heaven." "Such is His Majesty's final wish, so how could I dare oppose it?" "We shall move His Majesty to the shrine, so make all preparations." "Yes." "Alert all lords about this, and prepare for the ceremony." "Our people shall join this ritual, and help His Majesty... walk his final journey to the high heavens." "Yes." "Nunim." "What did they decide?" "Looks like they're bringing him to the shrine." "It's what His Majesty wishes for, so what else can we do?" "I can't send him there all alone." "Not this way." "Nunim." "Father..." "Forgive me." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "You've endured a lot." "I shall not perish." "I shall bequeath my ardent wishes upon my son Muhyul." "And the sweltering wind of our land shall carry my soul, together with me, for the rest of time." "So may you... be of counsel to Muhyul on his arduous path." "Yes, Your Majesty!" "Let's go." "Yes." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "How did it go?" "We couldn't even meet Gicheon." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Troops sent by Muhyul were already controlling the place." "It turns out that Gicheon had joined forces with Muhyul long ago." "That motherless quisling!" "How dare he turn against the man who bestowed on him fame and riches?" "!" "We must leave this place." "King Yuri's conditions are critical, and it seems like Muhyul is moving him to the shrine." "This is the perfect chance to flee." "See?" "The heavens still know how to reward their chosen one!" "If they're really bringing Yuri to the shrine, then Muhyul alone shall be by his side." "I shall take this Heavenly Sword and slay that spurious scum, and finally change the tide!" "Do you still believe in that sword, enough to do something so hazardous?" "If fleeing is the alternative, I shall rather face demise like a man!" "Follow my lead!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Let me go!" "Everyone!" "There is a traitor amongst us!" "He joined in treason with Baegeuk." "He's Her Majesty's brother, Anseung!" "You unwary throng!" "You are mistaken!" "His Majesty already forgave my sister and me!" "She is still the Empress of this country, and I am still the Lord of Yongdam!" "Ohh... that way, he'll get killed." "Shouldn't you stop them?" "Let them." "How dare he show his face around here?" "He deserves that and much more." "It's Anseung." "Stop!" "I said stop right now!" "Don't you realize why His Majesty chose such a lonesome demise?" "What His Majesty ardently wishes for is to see harmony and unity rule us." "So you shall heed his words!" "Nobody shall be allowed to enter the shrine." "Strengthen surveillance for all posts!" "Yes!" "Have you examined it?" "Yes." "The pathway from Mt." "Mokdan to the shrine is heavily guarded." "The same goes for Mt." "Domun." "We shall control Magok." "Your Majesty." "Did you find out?" "Yes." "Hye Ap is leading hundreds of men and protecting the shrine." "Is that so?" "Fine!" "Gather the troops!" "Your Majesty!" "Do you paltry clods have a death wish?" "!" "How dare you interfere with my triumphant endeavors?" "!" "The Grim Reaper is looking at you, not me, Your Excellency." "You still don't realize what's happening?" "Your ambitions have pierced the sky." "In accordance with His Majesty's command," "I should slay you right here." "But, as a sign of respect for our past together," "I shall spare your life." "Give me the Heavenly Sword." "You still don't understand?" "!" "Muhyul used that sword to drive a rift between you and His Majesty." "Both His Majesty and you... fell for Muhyul's trap." "Th..." "That..." "Then, how do you explain this?" "Muhyul abandoned this Heavenly Sword, and despite all that," "King Daeso is still obsessed about this sword?" "!" "Shut your mouth!" "I shan't tolerate such defamation!" "If you give me that sword," "I promise I would spare your life." "I have a request for you." "I must reclaim the capital." "So you will have to help me out." "I shall slay Muhyul, so deploy some Buyeo troops to help us." "I have an ingenious plan to slay Muhyul!" "If we attack the shrine now, we can slay both Muhyul and King Yuri!" "Were you looking for me?" "We will head for the shrine now." "It shan't be long... before the gates of the netherworld open for me." "Father." "Open it." "I've been preparing them for you at my leisure." "When I moved the capital to Gungnae Fortress, people accused me of running away, daunted by Buyeo." "But Gungnae Fortress... was the perfect place to represent our core for centuries to come." "What you will find there... are my hopes for this country, drenching every inch of those scrolls." "They're all policies which only existed in my hopes and thoughts." "May you accomplish... what your father was never able to." "I shall make your wish come true." "That sword..." "That sword... is the one I used when I sacrificed you to the heavens." "I... thought that was the only way to save you," "and make your nefarious fate vanish." "But abandoning you for such a long time... pierces my soul with affliction." "My son, forgive me." "Can you forgive your father?" "Father..." "I resent you." "I was now ready to sacrifice my everything for you." "But..." "For robbing me of that chance," "I resent you and the cruel heavens above us." "You have blessed my life with joy." "That divine revelation, which befell your path and predicted you would bring about our country's collapse, only meant you would become the backbone of a new beginning." "I couldn't understand what the heavens tried to convey to us, but you shall surpass the achievements of every man who sat on our throne, and bring this country perpetual glory and prosperity." "You must get stronger." "The moment you wear the crown, your path shall unveil countless crossroads." "The claws of darkness will attempt to engulf you." "But you shall follow the path your light kindles." "Behind you, forever..." "Forever I shall follow you." "Don't forget." "Father..." "We can't strike the shrine this way." "I shan't lose the chance to see Muhyul perish by my blade." "Don't let personal remorse obscure your goals." "How dare you prattle about any such feeling?" "If it's not personal remorse, why are you trying to help Baegeuk, without His Majesty's consent?" "Silence!" "We could be used by him, and even lose the Heavenly Sword." "You will get another chance, so let us go back." "Have you made a decision?" "I shall head back to Buyeo." "Reflect upon it once again." "Our ties might be over, but with a common foe that we can strike, shouldn't we join hands to conquer him?" "That shall not happen." "If you wish to see Muhyul's demise, surviving is all you need to do." "Your Majesty!" "May you reconsider it!" "We can't strike them with these men alone." "You shan't be concerned!" "Even without Dojin's help," "I shall regain the capital alone." "We must wait for the right chance, for the sake of our future." "If we renounce now, you never know when that chance will come again." "You still don't realize the situation we are in?" "You fool!" "Prattle such nonsense again, and I'll behead you right here!" "I have nowhere to go back to." "It is either slaying Muhyul, or meeting my demise." "There's no other alternative." "Here!" "Make your choice." "Will you follow me to the shrine, or perish by my sword here and now?" "!" "Your Majesty." "Let's get moving." " Supervisor!" " Supervisor." "Escort the Supervisor out of here, now!" "Don't worry." "Charge!" "Don't stand back!" "Don't let anyone enter the shrine!" "Your Highness!" "We must seal the shrine's gates." "What is going on?" "Baegeuk and his troops attacked us." "If you wish to survive, drop your weapons!" "I shall repeat one last time!" "If survive you must, drop your swords!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Slay Muhyul right now!" "No matter how badly you were blinded by greed, how could you do something so miserable?" "A valiant man shows respect to an enemy general at the last minute, but how could you, a high official of our country, do this?" "Don't delude yourself thinking the heavens have chosen you." "Even if you turned back time, I would have done the same." "Not killing you when I could... shall forever begrime my legacy." "Here!" "Slay me!" "I no longer have any resentment left!" "I shan't begrime His Majesty's path to the heavens... with the vile stench of your blood." "I shall punish this man once I have sent away my father, so take him to the capital." "Yes." "Your Highness!" "His Majesty..." "Father!" "Now..." "I have found peace." "Dojeol..." "Haemyeong... and Yeojin... are waiting for me." "Father..." "Father!" "Father..." "Father!" "Father!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty!" "Father..." "His Majesty... has passed away." "His Majesty... has left us for the netherworld." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "His Majesty shall keep living in Muhyul's soul, so do not shed any more tears, and prepare to welcome a new sun kindling all creation." "Your Majesty..." "So this is the Heavenly Sword?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "My deepest congratulations, Sire." "A most laudable effort." "What did you do with Baegeuk?" "I spared his life." "You spared what?" "!" "Even if I don't kill him, he shall perish by Muhyul's sword." "It was a wise decision." "That shall make his demise even more miserable." "Your Majesty." "King Yuri passed away." "Did Yuri... really perish?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "There is something I have to tell you." "I shall no longer ask you to send me back to Goguryeo." "And I shall forget all my ties with His Highness." "I just came back from Goguryeo." "King Yuri perished, and Muhyul has become their new ruler." "I, too, shall inherit the throne from His Majesty, and become the King of Buyeo." "If you really are willing to forget Muhyul," "I shall erase all the resentment beclouding my soul." "Just for finally making this decision, I am grateful." "Even though Muhyul is the father," "I shall protect and cherish that child, so you needn't worry." " Yeon is expecting Muhyul's child?" " There is no doubt." "And you're telling me Dojin is still looking after her?" "Yes." "Yeon is parturient with Muhyul's child, but Dojin is hiding the truth?" "!" "Muhyul." "It is time you rise." "I know your sorrow can reach the sky, but you are now our ruler." "A king shall never let his emotions be exposed to creation." "When a king sheds a tear, his country walls in despair." "And when adversity befalls him, grieving throes agonize his people." "You must now rise, and stand in front of all the people who are waiting for you." "Now." "How much longer is His Majesty going to stay at the shrine?" "We can't leave the throne empty for long." "I suggest you go meet him yourself, Daebo." "Isn't acknowledging His Highness's sorrowful loss one of his subjects' duties?" "That is right." "What His Highness needs now is time." "All we can do is wait for him, nothing else." "Know why I summoned you here?" "It was here... where I first heard about your nefarious fate," "and the place where I first planned to kill you." "Why didn't you kill me, Sire?" "Why did you spare my life, knowing you would defy the heavens?" "I shall... accept you as my son," "and prince of this country." "It was said I would cause your death, but you still wish to accept me as your son?" "I shall not be daunted by your fate." "No matter what ordeals that could bring me, you are my son." "My grievous loss caused you much anxiety." "I shall join your efforts, and devote my everything... for the sake of this country." "Seeing you so valiant once again, as if you abandoned the vestiges of sorrow, fills our hearts with emotion." "We must now officially enthrone you, and let all creation know there is a new sun kindling our nation." "I understand your wishes, but, because of repeated internal strife afflicting our country, our people's lives couldn't be in worse condition." "A lavish ceremony would only pierce their wounds even more." " But..." " Now... is not time for worrying about how lavish my crowning ceremony will be, but it's what I must do as a king that's important." "I shall be crowned in front of the Sorceress." "*Goguryeo's 3rd Taewang (Great King), King Daemushin (literally "Great God of War")" "Let the heavens heed Goguryeo ruler* Muhyul's pledge." "I, Muhyul, shall become King, respect the mandate of heaven bestowed upon me, honor and cherish the former kings' achievements, and make our people proud of their country." "Our deepest congratulations, Your Majesty!" "My congratulations, Sire." "Your Majesty, my congratulations." "Congratulations, Your Majesty." "Master!" "Master." "Is it over?" "His Highness has become our King!" "Now... finally..." "At last... once and for all..." "Mahwang's glory days have now begun!" "His Majesty's glory days, you mean!" "You witless varlet." "Isn't His Majesty behind me?" "With the Biryu clan out of the equation, who is ever going to stop me?" "Ohhh!" "My congratulations, Master!" "Right... right." "Wait!" "I have no time to waste here." "What this country and His Majesty need now is Mahwang!" "Let's go!" "Let us go!" "My congratulations." "Congratulations, Sire." "Grand Empress Dowager, you are now the elder in the palace." "Whenever I wander off my path, may you show me the way." "No." "How could all my misdeeds allow me that?" "I shall leave this palace." "Many wise subjects are at your side, Sire." "You can certainly believe in them, and ask for advice whenever you need." "May you heed His Majesty's request." "We need your presence in the palace to feel secure." "All I am to the former king, and to Yeojin and our people, is nothing but a criminal." "Allow me the chance to atone for my misdeeds." "Were you looking for us, Your Majesty?" "The reason I summoned you here... was to entrust you with an arduous task." "Your wish is our command, Sire." "Supervisor, I hereby proclaim you Ubo." "Chamgun, you shall be our Chief Marshal, commanding all the troops." "Your Majesty!" "Maro and Chubalso, you will be Chiefs of Security." "How can a lowly fool like me be entrusted with such a crucial task?" "What I just did isn't a mere reward for all you did for me." "It is my brazen and ardent hope that you will work even harder for our country." "You suffered for so long that I wanted to give you some respite, but you know all too well I can't do that now." "May you heed my words, and help our cause." "I shall serve you with my life, Sire." "You've done well." "We'll make sure things improve for you." "Hey." "Let's take care of that mug of yours now, shall we?" "What can I do?" "Becoming a chief, it all just brings me a smile." "You know where I came from, after all." "Someone living like a beast at the Jolbon market, becoming chief?" "Can you believe this?" "I guess..." "How could someone like you command troops?" "Court servants, I could understand." "I'm Chief Balso now!" "Chief Maro!" "I'm not going to importune the servants anymore." "I'm sure you won't." "Hey..." "What was it you said again?" "Chief Maro!" "Chief Balso!" " Congrat..." " Ohhh my!" "My congratulations!" "So you both have become Chiefs of Security?" "!" "Master Mahwang." "What brings you here to the palace?" "I have something to confer with Chief Maro." " And what would..." " Excuse me?" "Is it something you can only tell Maro?" "Ahhh... what's the matter with you?" "I shall open a lavish feast to celebrate your success, so I would be honored by your presence." "Go ahead, then." "You as well." "What is the matter?" "It's about Princess Yeon." "I asked a merchant called Yanggil to find out about her, and I just received a message from him." "How is she faring?" "Ahhh... but, that..." "Tell me!" "Just as we expected, Dojin is looking after her." "But, it looks like she's parturient." "Who is it?" "Dojin's child?" "No, no..." "Not that." "According to what they said, it's His Majesty's child." "What now?" "Should I tell him?" "Is that true?" "I heard it myself." "Your Majesty." "It's me, Maro." "You may enter." "I shall pour you a drink." "Here." "No..." "Your Majesty." "Take it." "Your Majesty." "By any chance... did you hear anything about Lady Yeon?" "Nothing, Sire." "Right." "I suspected so." "Your Majesty." " It is time you forg..." " I know." "I know I shouldn't feel anything for her any longer." "But..." "I can't erase her from my heart." "I can't stop thinking of all she went through because of me." "I wonder... where and how she's living now."

"If you acknowledge your crimes in front of our people," "I shall spare your life." "Don't make things even more miserable, and just slay me!" "I shall not." "You shall spend the rest of your days doing forced labor." "You shall regret this day!" "The stronger Muhyul's territorial expansion becomes, the more painful the wounds beclouding my soul get." "I must hit Goguryeo first." "I shall quench your angst, Sire." "His Majesty is withdrawing?" "He shall soon reach the capital." "We laud your efforts, Sire." "I am happy to see you in good spirits." "Hodong!" "Is that really His Majesty's child?" "Grow fast." "Too many are the things I want to share with you." "You're going to Buyeo?" "There is something I must take care of."
