"We have to make sure our people do not sympathize with them" "Your Majesty, we should send an envoy to China and await for their reply." "I'm afraid China will attack Shilla under the pretext of reinforcements." "You must abolish the aristocratic system and find men of ability." "I believe your duty is in National Defense, not in domestic affairs." "You should mind your own duties." "Quiet." "The country is filled with thieves and the palace is filled with conspiracies to over throw the throne." "Biharang!" "Will you stay and protect me till the end?" "Your Majesty, I'll do my best as your royal servant." "Biharang." "Your Majesty." "Jaunbie was the name?" "Don't get caught up with a peasant like her." "Master, how have you been?" "Your wound seems severe." "It must've been a fierce battle." "I'll be ok." "Please don't be worried about me." "General!" "Will you marry me?" "About Biharang's girl..." "Her father was executed for helping the rebels." "Your Majesty, how can you trust a man who refuses marriage proposals from royal families for a peasant girl?" "I have killed too many to save my country." "That is your fate." "If you hold on to a passing fate, it becomes yours." "Your Majesty!" "The rebels have invaded Mujinju." "Their force is too strong." "We must send Gen. Biharang." "The Capital was recently attacked by the revolting peasants." "Send Gen. KIM instead to Mujinju for the back up!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, the rebels have captured Mujinju!" "What happened to the governor of Mujinju?" "He was killed mercilessly." "Your Majesty, only Gen. Biharang can save us from the rebels." "Your Majesty, losing Daeya Fortress will put Shilla in a great danger." "Allow me to defend Shilla from the rebels." "I've put you back out in the battlefield, again." "That is my duty." "Already 9 years have passed." "If there weren't so many battles, you and I could've been together." "Back then..." "I needed Prime Minister Wihong to protect the throne." "However, the only one I ever cherished in my heart was..." "Your Majesty." "I heard he was concerned about you even on his death bed." "Yes, he was." "Biharang, if the battle becomes too critical, spare yourself and return to me." "General!" "It will protect you." "You must be strong." "Love turns into hatred when it's broken." " General BANG," " Yes, sir." "Her Majesty shows too much affection to Gen. Biharang..." "General has been seriously wounded." "Come with me now." "Don't blame me for killing you." "I'm only carrying out an order." "Talwi!" "Let's get a little taste before we kill her." "I must be off." "Take care of the rest thoroughly." "There might be an ambush." "You shouldn't go alone." "The sword has vanished." "This place gives me creeps." "Let's get out of here quick." "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Let's split up and look for her." "Be careful!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" " Jaunbie!" " General!" "Jaunbie!" "General!" "Get off me!" " General!" "It's no use!" " Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Though she wanted to be my wife... she never asked me of anything." "And she never said anything" "for she feared she might hinder my future." "The seal set by Emperor Hyokkose 1000 years ago has been broken." "And, now the evil spirit of Auta is free again." "Auta!" "Who is he?" "Before the time of Shilla, there were many tribes who shared this land." "Auta was a leader of one of the tribes." "My ancestors were commissioned by Emperor Hyokkose to guard the seal." "The duty was passed down to me for thousand years." "And Jaunbie was to succeed me..." "General, on my way home, I saw officers dressed in black." "One of them had a large scar on his face." "Aren't they the Royal Guards?" "Who dare stops us?" "Kill them!" "General!" "Bitch!" "You're not aware of what your officers have done?" "How dare you to treat me, the Chief of the Royal Guards, like a soldier?" "Besides, this affair is none of your concern." "Do you mean Her Majesty ordered Jaunbie to be killed?" " I did not say that!" " Then, did you?" "I know Jaunbie's father was a rebel." "You might fool Her Majesty with your fake loyalty but I know your dark intentions." "It terribly worries me that you're in Her Majesty's good graces." "General!" "Did you order Jaunbie to be killed?" "What are you talking about?" "One of your Royal Guards tried to kill her." "I don't understand." "Your Majesty, you have no connection with this incident?" "Your anger soars to the skies." " Put down your sword!" " You have or you have not?" "How dare you to march in here with a sword in your hand?" "Throw away your sword!" "Get her!" "Close the gate!" "That way!" "Kill her!" "Away with you." "So... did you find out whose doing?" "Please punish me for my disloyalty." "I could punish you for treason." "However, I could understand the circumstances that you're under." "Keep your mind at ease and rise." "Your Majesty." "I've thought about you every moment." "Biharang." "Who are you?" "Where is Biharang?" "Biharang!" "Guards!" "Guards!" "Guards!" "Did you not hear me?" "Your people do not change even after 1000 years." "Trying to take away the only thing that is left!" "Starting with you, I'll eliminate every living thing on this land." "The dead does not belong in a living body!" "Come out of her at once!" "Kill her!" "Jaunbie..." "She's no longer Jaunbie!" "Talwi!" "The Great Emperor of Shilla, with this Sacred Sword, may the evil spirit be defeated!" "Biharang!" "Talwi!" "Talwi!" "General!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" " What are you doing?" " Put away your sword." " General, she's the evil spirit!" " Talwi!" "She's not Jaunbie." "If we don't kill her now, we cannot destroy the evil spirit." "She's Jaunbie." "I can tell by the way she looks at me." " General!" " Believe me this once." "We don't have much time." "How can she possibly resist the monstrous power of the evil spirit?" "She's over there!" "Talwi!" "Get her!" "Get him!" "That deceitful peasant girl must've approached Biharang to get to you, Your Majesty." "We mustn't jump to conclusions." "However, since Biharang protected her, perhaps, they planned this together." "Then they are rebels!" "We must order them be caught and be killed." "First, we must find their hideout." "What happened with Talwi?" "He's not saying a word." "Your Majesty, since this is a critical time, we should hold a trial." "A trial?" "Why don't you talk?" "You shouldn't be enduring all these sufferings." "It's not even your fault." "I did not fulfill my duty of serving my general." "So, kill me." "Master!" "Master!" "I can't believe you sucked out the poison from his wound." "It will protect you." "My promise of protecting the 1000 year sovereignty was a futile promise." "I couldn't even protect you..." "Jaunbie." "General." "I've been having nightmares." "Do not be worried." "You'll feel better when you get some sleep." "Drink." "I also hope for the safety of Gen. Biharang." "I greatly honor your loyalty to your general." "However," "what if" "Jaunbie truly is the evil spirit?" "What if Biharang has been bewitched by the evil spirit?" "What if all was a devious plan of the evil spirit?" "It could've been its evil plan to bewitch Biharang from the beginning." "It's sad." "Who would help him in his time of troubles?" "Talwi will lead us." "Hurry." "Yes, Your Majesty." "She just fell asleep." "Tonight, a bloody moon that holds the hatred of 1000 years, will rise." "When the darkness hides the moon, the evil spirit will regain its full strength." "Then, even the Sacred Sword will be powerless." "Then what about Jaunbie?" "If you could keep her away from the moon, you might be able to save her." "Since her desire to be with you is so great." "If I can't keep her away, then what would happen to her?" "She'll be nothing but an empty shell." "It would be Jaunbie outside, but she'll be Auta inside." "We must sacrifice one life to save millions." "Jaunbie!" "I'm scared." "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "It's too late for me." "You must go and save the General." "He's at the lake." "Hurry!" "Let's go!" "General BANG has left the palace to kill the evil spirit." " Did he bring any men with him?" " Only about 100 men." "And Her Majesty followed him in secrecy." "Lead the way." "I'll meet with Biharang personally." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "You must fight it off!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "General..." "If I can't be who I was again," "I want you to kill me yourself." "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "You must fight!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Please!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Your Majesty, I'll go look first." "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "Jaunbie!" "General..." "Jaunbie!" "Master!" "Are you ok?" "It's all over." "The evil spirit will take over the Kingdom of Shilla." " General!" " Biharang!" "Here is the mighty general." "Where did you hide her?" "I can defeat the evil spirit." "Just give me more time." "Draw!" "I'll kill anyone who gets in my way." "Stop!" "General BANG!" "Whose order were you following when it was not I who ordered you to shoot Biharang?" "Withdraw!" "Biharang!" "Biharang!" "Your Majesty, I cannot bear to watch this with my own eyes." "Destroying your own country for a shallow passion." "You're no different from a bitch in heat." "How dare you to plot treason!" "General BANG!" "This is Her Majesty." "Put down your swords." "I pity your girl." "She should've died when she was supposed to." "It was YOU!" "General BANG!" "What are you waiting for?" "Kill them all!" "Your Majesty!" "Is there any way we can destroy the evil spirit?" "It's hatred is too great for us to bear." "So the 1000 year sovereign of Shilla must end here?" "How about the Sacred Sword?" "The one that the Great Emperor used to seal off the evil spirit." "It no longer has any power." "If not the Sacred Sword..." "Then, can I do nothing but just watch my kingdom fall apart?" "Jaunbie." "Jaunbie!" "It's me!" "Please come back." "Please." "I do not know how great your hatred is, but I'll take the blame for all." "Let go of Jaunbi." "Take me instead!" "Take me!" "General!" "Talwi!" "Talwi!" "Talwi!" "It is not her." "Let her rest... in peace..." "Talwi!" "Talwi!" "Talwi!" "If it was a sin for a queen of one country to love a man, then take me instead." "My people are innocent." "Stab her heart!" "General." "Jaunbie." "Thank you." "Biharang!" "6 month after Queen Chinsong left the throne to her nephew Yoh, she died in The North Palace." "38 years later, the thousand year old history of Shilla came to an end."
