"That's a relief." "Who is this Jeon Heung Mun?" "He is a wrestler from Hwanghae province." "If Sword Saint without one hand were to come out for a competition this time, for fear that it wouldn't go well, I had secretly called in that wrestler."

"Aigoo, my head!" "That's right." "Uncle...." "Most of these people are from rural areas." "They are people without any relatives here in Hanyang." "So it is confirmed to be falsified." "One person here is the son of the chief of the Chungcheong local government office." "I will try to go and meet him." "Dong Su." "You try to meet that officer who made the fake register, once more." "Yes." "But you want to go by yourself?" "Those are people who are framing His Highness the Prince Heir." "You may go with Sang Gak." "I only want to find the actual truth." "But there is no need to go and take risks." "You should follow Deputy Commissioner Hong." "Yes, Your Highness." "How is it going... with the captain?" "He is still locked up in prison." "Then Your Highness, this subject will be leaving." "How did they knock out the prison guards and escape?" "It wasn't Dong Su, and it wasn't Sa Mo ajussi either." "Was it my father?" "It can't be..."

"You still have people coming after you." "I've thought a lot about it." "I just cannot abandon the the trade group like this."

"If I were to become like you, first, don't I have to join hands with you?" "Correct!" "That's the answer I wanted to hear." "Fine then..." "You have heard about the incident in the palace, right?" "Though I heard that it was treason, wasn't it something you came up with, Your Excellency, ...with this person here?" "Come on." "Please greet him." "This is Sky Lord's successor." "So then..."

"Why did you have to take her away?" "Do not worry about it." "Compared to being with you, she is staying much safer." "Where?" "Where is Miss Ji Seon?" "Baek Dong Su!" "Since you can't protect her, you should give her up before it's too late." "What?" "Captain Heuk Sa Mo is locked up in the prison." "You'd better hurry." "The assassins will be there soon."

"Your Excellency," "Let us go and take a look at the prison." "In the middle of the night, what business brings you ministers here?" "I heard all the noise, that a traitor escaped." "Is there anybody else like that aside from me in this prison?" "What is going on?" "Your Excellency," "Perhaps you haven't seen Sword Saint hyeongnim?" "He should almost be here." "You wait here." "Yes." "So you have all the evidence in your hands?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Who is the mastermind?" "Tomorrow at the palace, my disciple can make it public." "Please grant your consent." "Fine."

"What are you talking about?" "Don't you know?" "When you had gone to the palace, Minister Gim Han Gu had sent them." "Silk and hemp clothes." "You don't know?" "Looks like the Sword Saint got them returned to the Minister's house." "Cho Rip!" "Cho Rip, how did it go?" "I found a witness." "Now the only thing left is to strangle the Defense Minister." "Great." "Good job, you brat." "Dong Su, be careful." "These aren't people who would show goodwill without a reason." "Sure." "Thank you." "Hey, sir Deputy Commissioner Hong," "I'll show the way."

"Didn't I tell you not to make me a bad person again?" "If you dare hurt them even a bit," "I absolutely won't let you go." "You girl, please be well-behaved." "If not, I might just kill you in a fit of anger." "That shouldn't happen." "That can't." "Or things go upside down." "It absolutely can't go like that." "Therefore," "So you don't get excited." "Then I won't get excited either." "Let's play a fun game." "What game, you ask?" "It's like this." "We will see whom I should kill first." "Isn't this fun?" "I too am curious." "I am so excited."

"They were Japanese people, Your Majesty." "What?" "Japanese?" "That is the sword used by an assassin who snuck into the palace." "How do we know that this is a Japanese sword?" "The Joseon and Japanese methods of forging swords are much different." "That sword is made using steel-like volcanic metals also as raw materials." "As different types of iron materials are added during the forging, the Joseon swords are made much differently." "Is this true?" "It's the truth, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, what he said should be the truth." "That is the person who was behind the josam incident, who also tried to harm you last time." "He has already admitted it." "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the Do Ju." "I am willing to own up to all of this and atone for my guilt." "I hope you will let me kill myself for it." "Haven't you saved my life before?"

"You should have taken care of yourself." "I was doing quite fine." "So you're back." "What happened to Jin Ju?" "Child, this is beef jerky." "Have you tried it?" "You eat it." "Hey, child!" "Jin Ju." "Jin Ju!" "Jin Ju!" "Father, don't come over here!" "Jin Ju!" "Jin Ju." "Father, don't come over here." "Are you all right?" "Quickly get out of here." "The world's number one Hwang Jin Gi can't do anything when his daughter's life is at stake." "I told you to come alone and you really came alone." "Wait a moment." "Why are you in such a hurry?" "Look at the ground." "It's oil... oil." "You all must die." "Dae Ung, you bastard." "What exactly do you want?" "Are you asking because you really don't know?" "Must I tell you?" "That is... your life." "Then, Jin Ju?" "What crime has my daughter committed?" "Yes, what crime?" "Ahh... that is becoming your daughter." "Isn't my head what you want?" "!" "Father, don't be like this." "Get out!" "Father..." "Where would a father go, leaving his daughter behind?" "Don't worry, Jin Ju." "Such a great father and daughter relationship." "Even my tears are coming out." "But, what needs to be done, must be done." "Father!" "Stop!" "Why stop?" "It's only just beginning..." "Father." "Father!" "Father..." "You bastard!" "Father!"

"Even if the empire changes hundreds of times, or the world is turned upside down," "I would be... your father." "What are you doing?" "It's nothing." "Ji..." "Captain!" "What's wrong?" "Where did Chief Hwang Jin Gi go?" "Jin Gi?" "That's right, I haven't seen him all day." "He must be looking for Jin Ju." "Jin Ju disappeared." "He has been looking for her." "Master, I'm going to the hideout for a moment." "Go ahead." "Hwang Jin Gi..." "Don't touch him." "Do not touch him!" "I don't have hands to touch him!" "My hands gone, fingers are gone too!" "So pitiful." "My heart also hurts." "But, what should I do?" "This is your father-daughter fate." "This is providence." "Yes, it is providence." "Jin Ju!" "Hwang Jin Ju!" "Old Sir!" "Is no one here?" "Who is it?" "How come you..." "This place was discovered by the government officials." "Why are you all here?" "I guess caterpillars can survive only by eating leaves." "We are comfortable here." "But, you came to find the boss, right?" "Aigoo, Jang Mi." "Dong Su still hasn't returned, right?" "He went to the hideout, how can he come back so fast?" "That fellow..." "But, is it possible that those two left this place?" "Staying here only makes matters more troublesome." "Aigoo, you really." "Does Jin Ju seem like someone who would abandon Dong Su and go?" "That's true." "This really..." "Where exactly are they?" "Are you awake?" "I will... kill you." "My father..." "You look carefully, he is still not dead." "Father..." "Father..." "Jin Ju, are you all right?" "Father, are you all right?" "My heart is very good." "So I didn't want to cut his throat." "You better thank me a lot." "Hwang Jin Ju, you need to surely live, till I kill the Cheon guy and the Sword Saint fellow." "Come." "Look at who is next." "Who will be next?" "This really is providence." "Stop it." "You will be punished by heavens." "I have got punishment already." "Hand, fingers, heart and stomach too..." "Wait here for a moment, I will come back." "Right, Hwang Jin Gi is losing too much blood." "Don't move him." "Move him and he could die." "Father, get up." "Can you get up?" "Father is fine." "Think about what to do." "I won't go alone." "I won't go no matter what." "First I have to get my hands untied." "If there was an iron skewer, that would do." "Jin Ju..." "Jin Ju." "You must get out alive." "Then save Dong Su, and also save Sword Saint." "You must go out alive." "Don't say that." "Don't say that." "We must leave together." "Pull yourself together!" "You, if you are fine, then that's all the blessings I need." "Sorry, Jin Ju." " Father..." "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "They are not in the hideout?" "Miss Jin Ju has already been missing for four days..." "Don't you know where she could have gone?" "You fellow, if I knew, then you think I would be just sitting here?" "In short, the places that those two could have gone, let's go search again." "I will go and have a look at the market." "Good, good." "You two stay here." "Perhaps they will come back." "Your thinking is correct." "Then, we do it this way." "But, where did Master go?" "Hyeongnim?" "Yes, where did he go again?" "Is it banwi?" "Yes." "Be mentally prepared." "Jin Ju!" "Hwang Jin Ju!" "Miss!" "Miss Jin Ju!" "Jin Ju!" "Any progress?" "Nothing." "Isn't this the scroll the previous Human Lord made?" "This is a scroll made for the sake of wanting to kill the Sky Lord." "What a stubborn person." "Go look for Baekmyeon Seosaeng and Jang Tae San." "Yes." "Wait..." "But, why don't I see the previous Human Lord around?" "Yesterday he took the arrows and crossbow from the weapons warehouse and left." "Crossbow?" "Yes, It seems like it is very urgent." "What trick is he playing now?" "Do you know where he could be hiding?" "Child." "This time it is han gua." "(han gua - traditional korean cookies)" "Have you had them before?" "Delicious!" "Wait..." "Aigoo, what is the matter?" "What is this?" "Hey, child." "Child!" "Why did that child leave..." "Butcher, don't you want to see Jin Ju?" "Then how about coming alone?" "Otherwise," "Jin Ju will also die, Jin Gi will also die." "Who is it?" "Have you been well?" "You are the unique Hwang Jin Gi, for sure!" "Still alive after getting hit by that many arrows." "You will be cursed." "I will absolutely not let you go." "In this condition of yours, what can you do?" "Father." "It's a purse made of camel skin that will bring you good luck." "If I cut this rope, your father's heart will be pierced by arrows." "All the blessings..." " Sorry Jin Ju..." "You will be fine with that too?" "I will kill you." "Kill then." "Kill." "Kill." "Jin Ju." "I don't want to be a bad guy in front of you again." "It's the truth." "Pretty soon... that half-foolish butcher will be here." "Hwang Jin Ju." "It is not the butcher fellow." "Baek Dong Su has come instead, it seems." "Dong..." "Dong Su." "Jin Ju, are you all right?" "Are you all right now?" "You despicable fellow." "Baek Dong Su." "You fellow, how did you come here?" "You will die here today." "I have already died several times." "Dong Su, look over there." "If you take another step, then both their hearts will be pierced." "What do you want?" "Say it." "This question was already mentioned earlier." "Not interesting." "Isn't there something a little more original?" "You fellow that learned martial arts, you can't even catch that?" "That's enough." "I really can't endure anymore." "This time, you catch it well." "Dong Su." "Do you think you can block these arrows too?" "Even if Joseon's best swordsman Gim Gwang Taek came," " he too won't be able to block these." " Shoot." "Of course, you can't block it." "Shoot." "It looks like you are getting too full of yourself." "Jin Ju." "Dong Su." "Close your eyes." "Dong Su." "Quickly close you eyes." "Why are you saying that?" "Maybe I will kill that guy." "So just quickly close your eyes and stay over there." "That's right." "[.]" "Just quickly close your eyes." "Baek Dong Su will die soon." "Quickly close your eyes, quickly." "Dong Su!" "Dong Su!" "Dong Su!" "Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?" "Stay back." "All of you stay back!" "If you don't want to die together, stay... stay back!" "You won't dare, right?" "We will all go to hell!" "As soon as I drop this torch on the ground, everything will burn to ashes." "Unless you want to die together." "If you don't want to die together, stay back!" "Good, it should be like that." "Good, it should be like that, good." "Stay back." "No!" "No!" "No!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "No, no, don't go!" "Help!" "It's so hot!" "No!" "Help!" "Aigoo." "What is it, Orabeoni?" "Dong Su!" "Quickly make way." "Aigoo, what happened?" "Father." "That fellow, Baek Dong Su..." "Defense Minister, you are thinking too lightly of him." "And I thought he was only a fledgling bird, but he's already an accomplished swordsman." "What are you going to do?" "Although the Japanese has accepted the charges, there will be much more countermeasures for the Prince Heir's safety." "This is for sure." "It actually is so, but, if we are to stop halfway, then we shouldn't have started in the first place." "We must take care of it before the Prince Heir tightens his security." "I will make a new strategy." "Although the wound is deep, his life is not in danger." "I really envy you." "Even though she is teetering on the brink of death, she keeps calling out only your name." "Being unaware of a woman's heart, does not befit a real man." "What is that?" "I don't know." "Un, it's you, isn't it?" "Un, you are the one who saved them." "Ji Seon." "Has the approved trade group permit been issued?" "Yes." "That group of bastards!" "What's the use of having the permit?" "The things that were taken away, have to be returned." "Why did they have to destroy them?" "At first, didn't we build from scratch?" "Now is not like then." "How are we going to raise the funds?" "Although it is difficult, we must still find a way." "Then take the steps you have to take." "Yes." "Orabeoni." "Where is she going?" "She wants to start the trade group anew." "We don't even have a bit of money, right?" "How is she going to start the trade group anew?" "Aigoo, this girl." "That's why she is out on the go." "If you can't help, why talk?" "What is the use of rushing around like that?" "It is already completely finished." "What can she do by herself?" "Should I go help her?" "Aigoo, give those things to me." "This is chicken porridge, that I cooked." "Those two must eat it, once they wake up." "Oh, good, good." "Thank you so much." "No matter what situation you face, you can still smile this warmly." "Really beautiful." "Thank you." "Did you see?" "Made him smile from ear to ear!" "No need, no need, don't get up." "Ah, seriously." "How are you?" "Are you all right?" "Yes." "Thanks to you, I'm a lot better." "How about you, Jin Ju?" "Me what?" "I'm all right." "Thank you so much." "What thanks?" "I didn't even do anything." "But really now, why can't we get even a day to relax?" "By the way, did Master also go out?" "Yes." "Now there are just three days left." "Until when do you want to hide it?" "Drink some of this medicinal soup." "Although it is incurable, it can extend your life by a few more days." "A few days time... is enough." "I want to become the wind... to be with you, Sir." "Blowing towards the mountains... the earth... and the sea." "I want to go everywhere with you." "Did you already become the wind?" "Are you already with me?" "Master." "Come over here." "Just like I said." "You have already become Joseon's best swordsman." "You are flattering me, Master." "Joseon's best swordsman..." "Perhaps that title... may have been the heaviest burden of my whole life." "Not even once could I get rid of that title, and become free." "Even though I had the title that every martial artist dreams of," "I have always... felt suffocated." "Master." "I feel that the sword is very heavy." "Very tiresome." "My sword, if it were to only protect the ones I loved, just that would have been enough." "Now, though it isn't regret or a complaint," "I just want to be free like the wind, and live the rest of my life like that." "Master..." "I'm all right." "Can I not cut it now?" "Where are you going?" "The trade group is in a difficult situation." "So I want to ask you for a favor this once." "I'm sorry." "Without a guarantee, it is difficult to open an account." "I will contact you, if I find another way." "Let's go." "Do you know?" "Though I felt control over even the skies," "I felt that I was missing something." "After sending off Ga Ok," "I finally understood the reason." "If you are still nursing feelings for that woman in your heart, you make her yours." "Compared to controlling the skies, that is much more meaningful." "Sit down." "The Sky Lord's position... is only bothersome for you, isn't it?" "No, it's not." "No need to tell lies." "Although I lived amongst battles my whole life," "Whenever I sat in that position," "I felt a subtle thirst." "Does my sword need more fresh blood?" "Or... is it that I'm looking for something that can make my heart beat?" "After sending off Ga Ok," "I finally understood the reason." "If the heart stops beating, even if one becomes the world's best swordsman, one would already be as good as dead." "Only now do I understand that regret." "I am saying that you shouldn't repeat the same mistake." "Your father Yeo Cho Sang, was not killed by you, Un." "What?" "Your father... ended his life himself." "My father was clearly killed by me personally..." "It wasn't you..." "It was me." "From the beginning, there was no such thing as a killer star." "That killer star that you thought was your fate, does not exist in this world." "My father, on account of a nonexistent killer star, lost his life." "My father's death... was a punishment not to be erased, as I thought my whole life." "That killer star killed my father." "Wanting that killer star to disappear," "I was writhing and struggling." "Do you want to blame me for all this?" "Sky Lord, to blame you..." "I have come too far for that." "As I can't go back and change anything," "If I can break off from the past, that will do." "To become the Sky Lord, one must cut off the previous Sky Lord's head." "This is... a Heuksa Chorong rule." "It's true." "But, the order is a bit wrong." "I will give you a chance." "Wait a little longer." "Yes." "Is it true?" "But... why you would want to provide ginseng and also capital for our trade group, is something that I don't quite understand." "As I am a merchant, I won't be giving it for free." "My interest is in the red ginseng processed from ginseng." "Red ginseng?" "Ai!" "Looks like you know how good our Ji Seon's red ginseng is." "In return for the the ginseng and funds I provide," "Miss Yu's trading group's proprietory rights to trade in Qing should be transferred to our trade group, which will be enough." "But that, well, really, that..." "That... there... ." "Won't we suffer losses on this?" "Let us do like that." "Ji Seon." "Aren't you too careless in your decision?" "I am one who dislikes people who take it slow." "This is 10 000 Yang." "Aigoo, 10 000 Yang." "The ginseng will be delivered today." "Ji Seon." "Seeing how he took out 10 000 Yang without hesitation," "I am not sure I agree with this." "He is a merchant that we have done business with before." "We can trust him." "If so... fine I guess." "Even now I can't forget His Highness Father." "Then, how can I be in the royal registry as the legal son of Prince Hyojang?" "Are you mocking me?" "If you are thinking in honor of His Highness Crown Prince Sado, then also, the best is for you to have a legitimate royal lineage." "What?" "Please be placed in the royal lineage and become the King." "Meanwhile, please forget that you're the son of Crown Prince Sado." "What issue makes you come and find me?" "Your Majesty." "Is it possible for Prince Heir to be the legal son of Prince Hyojang in the royal lineage registry?" "What did you say?" "You fellow, after showing just a bit of merit, have you now become arrogant?" "How dare you raise matters like the royal lineage in front of me?" "Please do not be angry, Your Majesty." "His Highness Prince Heir's safety is currently in grave doubt." "His Highness Prince Heir will be in the registry as the son of Prince Hyojang..." "Is it true?" "There is no royal order yet." "Please speak softly." "Who is the one who saw His Majesty and said those things?" "It is the Deputy Commissioner of Housekeeping." "Deputy Commissioner?" "Isn't that the lowest rank?" "How can that kind of person meet His Majesty?" "What nonsense is that?" "It looks like the Prince Heir has an eye for people." "Now is not the time to be saying such things, Your Majesty." "If Prince Heir takes the crown, that will cause a headache." "Your Majesty." "I have a good idea." "Let Prince Heir have a legitimate lineage." "Defense Minister, how can you say such things?" "Your Majesty." "His Highness Prince Heir is much more clever and sensible than others." "Take this opportunity to let him reinforce the royal lineage." "Letting him become the nation's treasure is the right thing to do." "The Defense Minister's suggestion is correct, Your Majesty." "Please place Prince Heir in the royal lineage." " Please place Prince Heir in the royal lineage." " Please place Prince Heir in the royal lineage." "Fine." "If all of you feel that way, today onwards, I'll have Prince Heir listed in the registry as adopted by Prince Hyojang." "Your Majesty." "If we do this, let him pay respects at Prince Hyojang's grave." "Let him abide by the etiquette between father and son." "Pay respects?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "An adopted son is also one's child." "Doesn't that go without saying?" "Sends away a traitorous father, and welcomes a new father to become the King - that's our Prince Heir." "For Prince Heir who worships his father, to become Prince Hyojang's son, will be like walking a torturous path." "Surely we should make it so!" "Aigoo." "Bring it down and let's look." " Yes, please wait." " Open it and let's look." "Does it look good?" "Pay respects?" "It's a really dangerous thing to do." "What was the hurry?" "It's not that we didn't expect it." "Anyway, at some point, this is an issue that His Highness has to overcome, isn't it?" "But now is not the right time." "I have to meet His Majesty." "You follow me." "Where are you going so anxiously, Sword Saint?" "Lately... it seems like you visit the palace often." "As there are many rats in the palace, don't we have to do this?" "You should watch your back." "Your Majesty." "Please take back your royal decree." "Outside the palace, the many groups who are a threat to the Prince Heir are waiting to grab this chance." "In such conditions, the Prince Heir's going on the worship trip is a highly dangerous matter." "Using this opportunity, if we don't confirm the Prince Heir's legitimate lineage, the ministers will again question his right to the crown." "This is a difficult situation that the Prince Heir has to overcome." "Your Majesty." "This is an issue that involves His Highness Prince Heir's life!" "Please reconsider!" "Sword Saint." "You have to accept the royal decree." "How was it?" "Can't change his royal mind." "His Majesty probably won't let his guard down against the Japanese." "Are you going to be fine?" "The failure from last time... was because you didn't keep your promise." "Because of you people, I lost one loyal subordinate." "Why don' t you tell us your scheme?" "On the day of worship, there will be about 20 royal guards, 6 internal officers and 30 soldiers." "There are also 11 women." "Being outside the palace will easily invite assassins." "To block a large-scale assassin attack, our manpower is far from enough." "Do not worry." "Sa Mo and his guys from the trade group will come along." "His Majesty gave this Royal Edict." "Hyeongnim, you are not going?" "There are only three days till I meet with the Sky Lord." "Ah, yes." "Let's continue." "On the day of the worship, they will go through Mt." "Gyemyeong for sure." "We can hide here at So Nyeong Won, and lure them there." "Have the escape routes been taken control of?" "Yes." "The escape routes are here and here, 2 of them." "But no matter which way they take, they can't escape death." "On that day the Prince Heir will set out at myo si, heading for Wan Pyeong where Prince Hyojang's grave is." "The palace group on the worship trip, will pass the Gyoha and Goyang towns, and will reach Mount Gyemyeong." "This place is dangerously steep, full of trees which benefits an ambush." "It is the ideal place to expect an assault." "Yes." "No, it is not." "It is here." "Isn't that So Nyeong Won?" "They cannot do an ambush at a place like that." "Last year, the village below So Nyeong Won faced an epidemic disease." "Now it is wasted." "It is also a place that the worship group has to certainly go through." "So, to expect an assassin's ambush, there is no better place than that." "Of course." "We cannot take anything for granted with His Excellency Hong Dae Ju." "If there is a surprise attack here, the first escape route... will be through here." "There is no shade to hide under all around this yeogcham, and we can also get horses there." "If the first escape route is not passable, there's also another escape route here." "Finally, we will meet here." "The most important job is escorting His Highness Prince Heir to safety." "You must pay attention." "Yes." "Make all the preparations, preventing any mishaps." "Yes, Father." "Your Excellency, you too please feel free to get up." "All right." "This time, you will be the vanguard." "This time, you must certainly bring the Prince Heir's head when you come see me." "Why don't you answer me?" "Did I not tell you that I can take that woman's life whenever and wherever..." "Your Excellency and I, made an agreement for the sake of our respective interests." "If Your Excellency threatens me like this, I will right now right here... take your head." "Anyway... you and I have a mutually helpful relationship, right?" "I will abide by the agreement." "How rude." "Your Excellency, have you seen his martial arts before?" "If you fight with him, it won't be much to talk about." "Simply leave together with that women." "Till when do you want to be used by His Excellency Hong Dae Ju?" "You know too much, it seems." "Feelings..." "The more they are concealed, the more they visibly grow." "Human Lord, you won't solve the problem by dealing with it like this." "You should go back." "Yes, drink it all then." "Aigoo, now have you already recovered?" "Yes." "It is better if you rest more." "I'm really sorry for not being able to help out." "Let's not talk about that." "Don't we have so many brothers here?" "Even if you couldn't be there, it would be fine." "Are you all right?" "Yes, don't worry." "Jin Ju." "It will be fine if you just closely follow behind me." "Am I your shadow, hiding behind Ajussi's back?" " Aigoo, Jin Ju looks like she's all better." " That's why I'm saying..." "You all be more careful too." " Yes." " Yes." "If the first escape route is not passable, there is another escape route." "When you reach here, after leaving the palace, you will be in danger, encountering a large scale assault." "You don't need to see me off." " Then Hyeongnim, we're going." " Go ahead." "Let's go." "You guys need to make your move." " Yes." " Yes." "Are you ready?" "Do not worry." "You need to be careful of that Baek Dong Su fellow." "As long as Yeo Un doesn't make any unexpected moves, the plan will have no problem." "Here!" "That is the first ambush location." "The troops there are all scapegoats." "Come out if you want to die." "You fellows, it is a dead end no matter where you go." "Let's go!" " Yes." " Yes." "What is that?" "Look." "If they were to die, the worship group will relax and continue on." "However... at that time, we will make our move at the second ambush site." "Assassins!" "Protect His Highness Prince Heir." "Your Highness, you must leave for a moment." "If they want to avoid the danger, like it or not, they will leave the bypath and go on the main path to So Nyeong Won." "They are all here!" "Take down all the assassins!" " Yes." " Yes." "The assassins all escaped!" "These are the treasonous criminals that want to harm His Highness Prince Heir." "Tie them up!" " Yes." " Yes." "What?" "Just like that, those people that are secretly protecting His Highness Prince Heir, will disappear." "Then when do we make a move on the Prince Heir?" "Soon after the worship group will be passing through." "But there will be nobody to meet them." "Let's go." "Why are you suddenly laughing?" "You brat, you are crafty, just like your father." "But it won't be that easy." "Who is there that you rely on?" "Of course." "There certainly is one." "Even if all of you here join together and attack, you still won't be able to match up to that fellow." "Right, Jin Ju?" "Looks like, you seem to be talking about Baek Dong Su, right?" "Look over there." "Un that fellow, really..." "Killing of the Prince Heir, starts here." "There are assassins!" "Protect His Highness Prince Heir!" "Protect His Highness!"

"I'm all right, no need to take it to heart." "Un, you bastard..." "Baek Dong Su, hurry, take His Highness and go." "Your Highness, I'm taking you away." "I must also follow you, Your Highness." "Go quickly." "We... we will fend him off for a while." "Be careful." "Your Highness." "Un, how did you become like this?" "Give up." "Even if it is you, you won't be able to withstand the four of us!" "Really?" "Un, I'm asking of you, please leave." "Then, there won't be very many guards left who are responsible for guarding." "So, those who escaped will surely be here, where they can get horses." "But that place has local envoys guarding it." "Here is the stronghold, that is for sure." "Your Highness, rest here for a moment." "All right." "You really are the first one here." "All of you, move aside." "He is Do Ju's prefectural governor." "Prince Heir, you will die here." "You bastard, is this the Do Ju's order?" "If it wasn't for war, this kind of thing wouldn't happen." "I told you to move aside." "I'm sincerely apologizing to you, for underestimating you before." "Your Highness, can you handle a sword?" "Of course." "You stand back." "Yes." "Your Highness." "This fellow, although he has a lot of strength, he doesn't know martial arts." "You need to avoid frontal attacks." "Find an opening and then attack." "Dong Su!" "Are you all right?" "Let's meet again next time." "Stay still!" "Let them go." "What?" "Are you just going to let them go like that?" "It will only lead to more casualties." "His Highness Prince Heir's safety is the top priority." "All right." "Are you all right?" "How about you?" "Are you all right?" "Yes." "I was originally a very powerful man." "In case we are unable to kill the Prince Heir there, what are we going to do?" "Even if all three ambushes end up as failures, we have to finish him off at the yeogcham." "That place will become the Prince Heir's grave." "That place will become the Prince Heir's grave." "Yeogcham..." "Why did you only come now?" "It's a long story." "Un that fellow, really..." "In fact, I didn't want to say it." "But I have no choice." "You bastard!" "Who are you in front of..." "Do you want to die here?" "You fellow, look here." "Here!" "Why don't you kneel quickly?" "That is really fortunate." "Your Highness." "All of you get up." "Don't take to heart matters that have already passed." "We have already delayed for a long time, let's head on." "Your Highness, we are not going to the yeogcham." "What do you mean?" "Although it's farther, it's more secure." "Yeogcham?" "Are you underestimating them?" "What?" "If they don't use the yeogcham path and use the mountain road, what do we do?" "That..." "I did not think of that." "Your Excellency, the yeogcham path is a shortcut." "To get horses, they have to go through the yeogcham, right?" "Then I will leave first." "Her Majesty and I will wait for your good news." "There is still no news, surely the plan has changed." "I am leaving first." "Hey!" "I heard that aside from Sword Saint and the Sky Lord, your martial arts are Joseon's best." "How about testing it against me?" "If you want to die, I'm not stopping you." "You are one up compared to Baek Dong Su." "If you want to come and challenge me," "I will welcome that any time." "You didn't hide assassins at Hyojang Neung?" "Hyojang Neung is surrounded by Po Jo skilled officers." "We can't interfere there." "What are we going to do?" "Your..." "Your Excellency." "I don't even need to see it." "It certainly is that Baek Dong Su fellow." "Your Highness, are you all right?" "Yes, all thanks to you." "Let's go quickly." "His Majesty is waiting for you." "Yes." "Good, nothing happened along the way right?" "Yes, Your Majesty Grandfather." "Mmm..." "Prince Heir, you have now become Prince Hyojang's descendant." "In the future, there won't be any more problems with the line of succession." "... speaking of this situation." "Aigoo, our Dong Su returned after completing a big assignment." "That's really amazing." "Amazing!" "Imo said she wanted to feed you all and cook you meat." "It will be ready soon, Sir." "You woman, what are you saying?" "What?" "You've worked hard." "No one got injured, right?" "Yes, Hyeongnim." "This time, Dong Su also accomplished a big merit." "Un appeared?" "Yes." "He didn't kill anyone right?" "Now is a lonely and painful time." "If you see him next time, please help him out." "You need to help him come back, do you understand?" " Yes." " Yes." "Un, how did you become like this?" "Don't drink anymore." "Do you think I'm becoming bad too?" "What do you mean?" "Did you see those people from your past?" "If you feel that it is too painful, then it is fine to let it go." "Do you also want to say things like fate can change?" "What is fate?" "First ask your own heart." "Hyeongnim!" "Hyeongnim!" "Where did Hyeongnim go?" "Sword Saint entered the palace early this morning." "Entered the palace?" "He never mentioned it." "Dong Su?" "Did they go together?" "Yes." "Coming to see me like this, it seems like you are saying farewell." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Fine, how is your body?" "My body, I'm clear about it myself." "Please don't worry." "Fine." "You want to live freely with that woman in your heart." "Do you want to confess to that lucky woman?" "I will go together with her to a place that no one can find." "You've already sent your greetings to His Majesty." "I'm not offering my greetings but farewell instead." "Farewell?" "Where are you going?" "Yes, from this point onwards, I will not return to Hanyang." "Then do that, Sword Saint." "Your Majesty." "You must certainly place people with talent by your side and continuously learn." "You must be a king who cherishes the commoners." "Don't forget this nation." "No matter where I am, please let me hear news of Your Highness's success." "Yes." "I will surely become someone who will not let Sword Saint down." "Sword Saint, Sword Saint." "Are you coming back again?" "Please take care." "Yes." "Please protect His Highness Prince Heir well." " Yes, Sword Saint." " Yes, Sword Saint." "Hyeongnim, that..." "You won't lose to the Sky Lord, but can I not go together with you?" "This is a matter I must complete." "I, really..." "It's me..." "Imo said that she will make some delicious food for tonight." "Please come back early." "I understand." "Right, where did Jin Ju go?" "I assured her that you wouldn't leave without saying goodbye." "She shouldn't be far." "Why are you looking for Jin Ju?" "If you have something to say to her, I will find and bring her back." "It's nothing." "Sir..." "Jin Ju should have something to say to you." "Talk to her for a moment, before you go." "What are you saying?" "Huh?" "Is there a secret that I can't know about?" "What are you doing?" "You're like a dog that's anxious to shit." "Fa..." "Fathe..." "Ah?" "Ah?" "How is Ajussi?" "Go in and take a look." "Did you do something wrong?" "No." "I don't know what the matter is, but say it clearly before he goes." "Although Ajussi will come back, you don't know when that will be." "Eat." "Mother!" "You have arrived." "What are you thinking about?" "Huh?" "Ah, it's nothing." "Everybody is waiting inside." "Jin Ju." "Yes." "How about dropping that sword in your hand?" "That sword in your hand, whether you like it or not, will be stained with blood your whole life." "I hope that you can live peacefully." "Everybody sit." "She made everything here." "Sa Mo, please get married before it's too late." "What?" "What are you saying?" "For you, she is not a bad woman." "Don't miss the opportunity." "Don't say such useless things." "Hyeongnim, you must come back safely." "I will wait for your news about taking the Sky Lord's head." "Here, have a drink." "Yes." "Miss!" "Miss, you're back." "Come to this side, here." "Here, sit." "You too really..." "What is so good about her?" "Then what about you?" "You look just like dried radish." "Dried radish!" "Really just like dried radish!" "Come on, drink a cup too." "Come on." "Agassi..." "Dong Su!" "Come with me for a moment." "Master!" "Master, are you all right?" "It's nothing." "Dong Su, you should also know, when we were younger, the five of us became sworn brothers by blood compact." "From the time we met Crown Prince Sado, who sought the Bukbeoljigye, we made an alliance with the King and his ministers and swore our loyalty." "But I did not get there in time." "So, I am not totally loyal." "It looks like... my life will end here." "Crown Prince Sado!" "How can that be Master's fault?" "After His Highness Crown Prince left us," "I thought I must protect His Highness the Prince Heir, until the day I die." "I made up my mind several times." "I also think the same way." "With you here, I feel at ease." "In case I cannot protect Prince Heir His Highness," "Dong Su, you have to protect His Highness well." "Master, you are still healthy, how can you say such depressing words?" "Now it is already your world." "You must all join together to protect His Highness's future place in this world." "The mist is cold." "Let's go inside." "Master." "Why are you doing this?" "What are you trying to say?" "Why are you talking like we would never see each other again?" "You have to promise me that you will come back immediately." "The matters in this world can't be as everyone wishes." "Is it true that Sword Saint is leaving?" "Yes, Father." "After seeing His Majesty, he went to the East Palace." "He's always been in the way." "If the Sword Saint disappears, taking the Prince Heir's life will not be difficult..." "It's the Crown Prince's life you are talking about, so be careful." "Do you mean that you fellows have a lot of lives?" "Baek Dong Su." "As long as that brat is still here, it won't be that easy." "If the Sky Lord takes Sword Saint's life..." "I do not regret anything." "But, what if in case..." "Sword Saint takes the Sky Lord's life and comes back alive?" "Whether the Sword Saint will remain in Hanyang or not, it does not give us any advantage." "Then, what do you think we should do?" "What can we do?" "We must kill the Sword Saint." "Joseon's best swordsman and Joseon's best assassin will fight." "No matter who survives," "I guess they will be battered and bruised." "Ga Ok." "Who are you waiting for?" "Is it Gwang Taek or is it me?" "This girl's really..." "Sleeping here, what will you do if you catch a cold?" "Dong Su." "You can go in first." "Yes." "Did you not have any sleep?" "Yes." "No need to see me off." "Master." "For this short period of time, I really thank you." "Your disciple, until the day I die, I won't forget you." "Although that kind of thing will not occur, and that kind of thing can't happen," "if Master comes late," "I will always wait for you." "I'll wait until the day Master returns." "I, disciple Baek Dong Su, without moving, will wait for you." "So," "you must come back." "After you come back, you'll have to help me." "Fa..." "Fa..." "There is still something I haven't said." "There is still something that I haven't told you." "When you come back, until that time..." "I will call you to my heart's content, Father." "Dong Su." "Hyeongnim already left?" " Captain." " Captain." "You all came." "Has the old sir already left?" "Yes." "Turn and turn." "Ah really..." "Hyeongnim didn't even say anything before he left, really!" "Last night didn't we send him off warmly?" "I'm afraid he wanted to leave quietly." "I wasn't worried from the start, about him taking the Sky Lord's head." "But then again..." "How can he leave so suddenly?" "His whole life has been like this." "That's correct." "Sa Mo samchon, this..." "What is this?" "Sa Mo." "My younger brother, Sa Mo." "My heart that has to leave you and go, is not comfortable." "This hyeongnim..." "Both of you are similar in a lot of ways, it is possible for you two to be husband and wife." "You should live out your days to the envy of others." "I've always been grateful to you." "Just like how you protected Ga Ok," "I'll leave Jin Ju in your care." "Although Hong Dae Ju is clever and has a lot of experience, he has a fault, and that is overlooking the small details." "Each time before doing anything, develop a habit of checking every little detail." "The Security Division has Joseon's finest martial artists." "They must have confidence and protect His Highness with their lives." "No matter if it was Dae Po or you," "I wasn't able to take care of you both." "I'm very sorry." "I'm afraid you will be injured, so it is better if you don't learn martial arts." "Ah!" "Hyeongnim is really..." "He sounds as though he won't be coming back." "This... what is this?" "Jin Ju." "Jin Ju." "I actually wanted to call your name until my throat dried." "But I have to be on my way." "In the future, if I can see you wed, how happy I will be." "I do not know if such a day will come." "But Jin Ju, if some time in the future and even I am not around, don't be sad." "I will hold your mom's hand and watch over you, and protect you." "So don't cry for this father of yours." "Dong Su, until when will you stay like this?" "Until Master comes back," "I will not even move a step." "Not bad." "We don't have anything to eat tonight." "Let's go fishing by the river." "Did he already leave?" "Yes." "Where did they go, do you know?" "I don't know the exact location, but it seems like they went in the direction of Samgaksan." "I did not expect your cooking skills to be this good." "Cooking for that girl Jin Ju has improved my ability." "But knowing that you were leaving, didn't she say anything?" "That aspect of burying it in her heart and not saying it, is similar to her mother who passed away." "Eat." "Carefully monitor that man from the meat shop." "Why haven't you caught any?" "This is more than enough." "Let's go." "You didn't have bait this whole time?" "You fellow..." "They're in the north of Samgaksan." "Father, I will prepare the army." "Pick some with good archery skills." "Yes." "If they don't die, you will all die." "Remember this." " Yes." " Yes." "Samgaksan, is it?" "What do you plan to do?" "That person is not someone that the army troops can take care of." "What is wrong with you?" "I feel uneasy." "Why do you feel uneasy?" "I don't know." "It's just... it's just uneasiness." "I'm uneasy, Father." "Nothing will happen." "That person is the Sword Saint." "As long as we wait here, he will eventually come back." "It is not even a strong wine." "Looks like it's been a long time, since I drank so heavily." "Are you not feeling well?" "The one with poor health, is not me, but you." "I don't know if I should wait till you heal." "Are you worrying about me?" "I'm really grateful to you." "This is the final cup, drink." "Then we can rest for a while." "The palace... is so quiet." "Especially at a time like this, the more you need to increase your knowledge for the sake of future planning." "Yes, Your Majesty Grandfather." "But that worrying face of yours, is it because of the Sword Saint's departure?" "Yes." "Why did you not force him to stay?" "Banwi is not an illness that human strength can overcome." "What?" "Your Majesty Grandfather, did you say banwi?" "Sword Saint is suffering from banwi." "What?" "Are you saying that Sword Saint has banwi?" "Yes." "Looks like I don't even need a trap to catch the tiger." "No, that's not it..." "He should be looking for a place to die." "Since he is going to die anyway..." "Have the archers withdrawn immediately." "What?" "Ah yes... yes." "What are you trying to do?" "Since he will die anyway, there is no need to make matters worse." "Dong Su!" "Dong Su." "Dong Su, Master he..." "What?" "Banwi?" "It is what His Majesty himself told the Prince Heir." "To use that body and fight against the Sky Lord..." "Ah, seriously!" "If it continues like this, Sir may face some terrible changes." "Should we go stop it?" "Where can I go to see Master?" "Captain, please tell me." "I don't know." "Captain!" "I don't know!" "Sa Mo!" "Dong Su!" "Baek Dong Su!" "Let go of my hand." "Let's go together." "The weather is fine." "Drink up." "Are you ready?" "Are you all right?" "Do you want to rest for a while?" "It's all right."
