"It is a relief that you're alive." "That's right." "Un!" "Today, you will die by my hand." "If you can do it..." "Try it." "Run." "Don't look back and just run." "Go." "You think I won't dare to kill you?" "I am an assassin." "Like His Highness the Crown Prince, I can kill you too." "Try doing it." "If you can, try doing it." "What?" "Kill me." "Try and kill me!" "It is not that you don't dare, but you cannot, right?" "Because you can't become an assassin." "Yes, I know." "I am weaker than you." "But unlike you, I don't kneel to some rotten destiny." "Stop it!" "Honorable Sword Saint, what are you doing here?" "You're a bit hasty in drawing your sword." "Sword Saint, please look over there." "Ji Seon." "Ji Seon!" "Look, please." "The Bukbeoljigye." "Why did you not come here earlier, Sword Saint?" "Now, what do you still want to do?" "Kill them!" "Yes." "Stop, please." "I will also leave immediately." "Now it is time that I left." "You really mean that?" "When do I speak crap?" "Now that we have found the Bukbeoljigye, the mission is all accomplished." "Before I get any older, I have to do something." "Look." "These are the famous masters from the 8 provinces, and I have to find all of them." "To meet all of them for duels, it will take at least one year." "Do you see?" "The last one is that fellow Gwang Taek." "What do you plan to do?" "Can you go with me?" "Do as you want." "If it is like this, nothing can be changed." "Do you want to challenge fate?" "You want to get rid of this damned fate?" "It will be very painful." "It will be so painful that you would want to die." "Watch, all of you!" "That Bukbeoljigye... will no longer exist." "There is nothing else I can do." "Should we do it?" "To that direction..." "Keep staring there without closing your eyes." "You brat." "Dong..." "Dong Su." "You watch!" "If this so-called fate is thrown out, that will do." "To those who set their minds on it..." "there is nothing impossible in this world." "Go!" "Ji Seon." "This is all quite sad." "Hyeongnim, really..." "I never would've guessed this would happen." "That so-called fate..." "If you just dump it for good, that would help." "You brat." "Un, you brat." "How the heck can you go and become an assassin already?" "Did I ever teach you to be like this?" "You brat." "What exactly are you doing?" "What exactly... rotten brat?" "Enough." "When did you start on the path of an assassin?" "This brat!" "Did I not tell you already, not to take anything like even a wooden sword?" "You want to follow me?" "Go, then." "What?" "!" "Hyeongnim, if you just send away Un like this, he will never be able to return again." "What kind of place that Heuksa Chorong is..." "Do you not know that well, hyeongnim?" "Don't you also see?" "Fate is something that needs to be established all by yourself." "This is the last time." "Today is the last time that I will lose to you." "Right." "Perhaps, it is." "Un." "Is it not possible for you to come back?" "I'll wait." "Whether you want it or not," "I'll wait." "Thank you." "Really..." "How can that damn rotten brat just..." "I..." "I want to go back." "If it is possible at all," "I too want to go back." "=Heuksa Chorong=" "What are you talking about?" "The Sky Lord left Heuksa Chorong?" "I cannot say otherwise." "The Sky Lord will no longer be here." "So, from now on," "Yeo Un, you are responsible for Heuksa Chorong." "What?" "But..." "Aren't you here, Earth Lord?" "Water flows from a higher place to a lower one." "This is no different." "You want to refuse it?" "From the day you entered this place," "You were designated to become the successor." "Furthermore, if you give up this path as an assassin, and leave this Heuksa Chorong," "Heuksa Chorong will come after you, even to the ends of the earth, to kill you." "But, if you want to live free, become Heuksa Chorong's master, as the Sky Lord." "That is the only method." "Now I can no longer come back, Dong Su." "Jin Ju, thank you." "Sure." "Appearances aside, don't you know I am noble?" "If it hurts, say so." "If you just endure it and the wound gets worse, it will be even more painful." "It hurts, Dong Su..." "Because of you." "Done." "Again, Thanks." "If not for you..." "If it were not for me, it would be a real disaster, right?" "Right." "I... have to go back." "My father's nagging voice is ringing in my ears." "All right." "Well... take care of her well." "Then..." "I'm leaving first." "If you do not want to lose somebody, then get stronger." "Once you do that, do not again lose the one whom you cherish." "I wouldn't have even thought of it." "I always believed that fate was unchangeable." "That's what I was taught." "That is how I have lived." "This is your destiny..." "Serving the king and protecting the Bukbeoljigye." "Once you were born as a daughter of this family, this became your fate." "Sir, if not for you," "I would be living with no soul in me." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "How can this be?" "Stay back, move back." "Out of the way!" "Explain later." "Omo!" "So she was still alive." "Dong Su has also recovered to normal." "That Miss is back again." "Now, all we need is for Un to come back." "Aigoo, Un..." "Although it will leave behind scars, it will not affect her life." "Please do not be too sad." "At least she could avoid the fate of death." "Compared to carrying the burden of that fate, it is a hundred or a thousand times better." "Miss..." "In case I was the one who realized it first..." "If it was not Dong Su, but me..." "Would I be able to do that?" "Uncle." "I want to learn." "Please... teach me martial arts." "Aunt!" "= Makgeolli:" "Traditional rice wine of Korea =- ."

"You?" "That..." "That lady..." "Is she all right?" "Really..." "That man is really something." "That girl is also really something." "Stop talking nonsense." "Just drink the liquor." "Ah, liquor." "Liquor..." "Liquor is good, of course." "But why do you keep staring at someone like that?" "You really are... beautiful." "Eh?" "Me?" "Though I have seen with my eyes that you are exceptional at martial arts, that was enough for you to so quickly become Heuksa Chorong's master?" "Your Excellency," "Please show some respect in your speech." "What?" "What did you just say?" "I said, please show some respect in your speech." "I am Heuksa Chorong's master." "Because I am still young, you thought that you can control me in the palm of your hand?" "You brat, do you look down on everybody, or do you really wish to die?" "Not long ago, Your Excellency said these words." "In front of a stronger person, you express your loyalty by even jumping into a sea of flames." "And In front of the weak you become as impassable as the Taesan mountain." "So, I... must become that mountain." "Paying a visit to you today, Your Excellency, was only out of courtesy." "I will take my leave." "That... that brat." "Your Excellency, how can you just let him leave like that?" "When the tiger is not there, a fox will be acting like the master?"

"Not just here, but even if you searched every city in the province," "You won't be able to find a fur cap." "Really?" "What is the reason for Miss to look for fur caps?" "I am not clear about the reason." "But, from what I know, while fur caps are very easy to find in Qing, it is a rare item in Joseon, as we don't raise sheep." "You are going somewhere?"

"Well, that is probably so, but why are you...?" "After getting rid of the Bukbeoljigye on my back, there is nothing for me to do." "So I am looking for something to do, to be of some help." "That is why you want to do this fur cap business?" "Yes." "There is not enough supply to match the demand." "If it is done well, we can make a lot of money." "So then, Ji Seon, are you thinking of going yourself to Qing to get it?" "Not really." "You want to do some trade?" "That is right." "What, with just this one?" "Give it back."
