"Please do NOT hardsub and/or stream this episode using our English subtitles." "Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "No." "I shall forget." "Buyeo..." "His Majesty..." "I shall forget it all." "I... shall sweep away the darkness beclouding your soul." "Just as you helped me, I shall do the same for you." "In my embrace shall those clouds disappear, for I shall linger on by your side." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Episode 15" "I'm still in no position to maunder outside my quarters, so, for the time being, I might not be able to see you." "Don't worry about me, and take good care of yourself." "You have nothing to dread now." "Dojin is also here in Gungnae Fortress." "Dojin is in the capital?" "!" "Yes." "He's currently lodging at the Biryu Sangga's residence." "Where on earth have you been all this time?" "Did you meet Lady Yeon?" "Yes." "You enjoyed it?" "I have news which could bewilder you." "About what?" "I've heard Dojin is in the capital." "What?" "!" "Dojin is alive?" "The capital where?" "She said the Biryu Sangga's residence." "The Biryu clan?" "Lady Yeon saw Dojin at the Sangga's residence." "Ahhh... of all places, why there?" "If that's where he is, we can neither go look for nor even meet him." "Your Majesty." "What brings you here?" "I will importune you with a question, Sire." "Go ahead." "Where is the burial of my long lost brother?" "Your Highness." "May I ask you why, all of a sudden?" "I wish to find it, and at least soothe his spirit." "May you please tell me." "Nevermore shall I hear those words." "Father." "Your Highness." "Mentioning those words is enjoined by our laws." "Why did you suddenly allude to it?" "Shouldn't Your Highness know how much of a rueful experience... all this was for His Majesty?" "I realized that, back then, my brother might have survived." "Why... are you nourishing such dubiety?" "There is a necklace I gave to him." "I believed it departed for the netherworld just like my brother, but that same necklace returned to me at last." "I have no idea what you are talking about, Your Highness." "Could you explain it to me in detail?" "Among Baegeuk's subordinates, there is a man called Dojin." "That man was carrying his necklace." "He said he received that from a compeer of his, and that this man disappeared during the war against Buyeo." "Did that child really perish?" "Or did he survive, going somewhere else?" "You're letting fruitless incertitude cloud your thoughts, Your Highness." "I have no idea how that necklace found its way back to you, but on that day, His Highness perished." "You're right." "I must be fomenting futile expectations." "If what Her Highness said is right, doesn't that mean the prince whom His Majesty entrusted to Prince Haemyeong... eventually became a Biryu clan soldier?" "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "I don't know, either!" "They told me to bring you here." "Little fool." "You can't even read a map." "Chamgunnim!" "Here you are." "Who are these men?" "They're guards of the Intelligence Bureau, about to infiltrate Buyeo as spies." "The supervisor entrusted their training to you." "Isn't this a little too excessive?" " She didn't even tell me." " How could she trust your garrulous tongue?" "Bear in mind this training shall be covered in utmost secrecy." "You may begin." "My name is Maro." "I shall be your instructor." "From here on out, your very survival is in my hands." "Namely, I could save you, just as well as I could slay you." "I shall confer it to the supervisor, so anyone daunted by death may now yield." "From the moment Buyeo's Black Shadows are enkindled as killing machines, they are never upheld as human beings." "Through such harsh training, at the end... they prepare themselves to heed every and all command of King Daeso, as his own shadows." "If you are to survive among those people, you shall be led by mutual fealty," "and become one." "Get moving!" "Don't stop!" "Get up." "Get up!" "How do you expect to accomplish your mission with no resilience?" "!" "Buyeo's Black Shadows developed enough stamina to run for five straight days." "If you truly wish to compete with them, this is nothing!" "Let's get moving!" "Get up!" "If you make a mistake, your partner will perish along with you." "If you have to put your compeers' life at risk, you should rather take your life here." "Hurry up!" "Their leader perished?" "!" "What is that supposed to mean?" "An assassin infiltrated his abode and slayed him." "Your Majesty." "The tribesmen have fallen into disarray due to this tragic event." "For the time being, our planned troop redeployment will be arduous." "I committed grave peccancy against the Gisan tribesmen." "Convey to the tribesmen my sincerest condolement." "I shall not spare any effort in supporting the Gisan." "My gratitude, Your Majesty." "Were you looking for me?" "Yes." "Yes, I was." "To acknowledge your meritorious service," "I shall proclaim you chief of our Biryu clan's private guards." "I shall repay your benevolence with utmost fealty." "Buyeo's King Daeso was seriously injured." "If he perishes, then King Yuri's sway will pierce the heavens." "Before that happens, the Council's influence must contend with Yuri's." "Our first imperative is rekindling the wizened unity among the chieftains." "But these days all they do is hang from Yuri's lips, doing their best to distance themselves from the Council." "You shall uproot those treacherous personages." "Supervisor!" "What brings you all the way here?" "There is a secret mission for you." "This is a message for the chieftain of Hwanna." "Show it to him, and bring back his response." "The Hwanna chieftain wishes to pledge his fealty for His Majesty, but he finds it hard to even seek audience with him... because of the Council's staunch security measures." "There will be spies from the Biryu clan there, so you must proceed in utmost secrecy." "Muhyul." "What on earth is going on?" "An assassin must have infiltrated this place." "We need to protect the chieftain." "Who are you?" "What now?" "Seeing they brought him away, they won't kill him." "We need to find out who's responsible." "That's the Biryu clan Sangga's residence." "So it is you, after all?" "!" "Do you think you will survive this affront?" "!" "Forgive my insolence, Your Excellency." "But when one forgets his call, it can't be helped." "What is the reason you brought me here?" "!" "Even birds know what the best tree for their nest is!" "But, you fool reached out to help King Yuri!" "As the leader of this Council, how can I condone such effrontery?" "I shall give you only one chance." "Whether you will follow the wish of the Council or submit to Yuri, make your choice!" "Forgive my imprudence!" "Are you telling me that boy arrayed all this?" "Yes." "Muhyul's past as a Black Shadow is helping the bureau immensely." "It's His Highness who is bringing your secret message to the Hwanna chieftain." "Your Majesty." "May you reveal His Highness's identity now." "He attempted to slay King Daeso, so Buyeo will try to punish him." "If he keeps living outside the palace, he could face terrible adversity at any moment." "Your Majesty!" "Never mention it again." "Your Majesty." "The Chamgun, Gweyu is here." "Let him in." "What is the matter?" "The Biryu clan captured the Hwanna chieftain." "Muhyul and Maro went after them, and verified their identity." "Your Majesty." "This proves the Biryu clan's treacherous intents." "If the Biryu clan Sangga captured the Hwanna chieftain, they will certainly try to reproach him for trying to propitiate our relationship." "Observe their movements carefully." "Yes." "Muhyul." "Among the Biryu clan assassins, the man who spotted us." "His gaze betrayed a peculiar familiarity." "By any chance..." "Your guess is right." "It was Dojin." "Could he have recognized us as well?" "I don't know." "Why are things becoming so tangled?" "Of all places, why did Dojin have to work for the Biryu clan?" "What's with all these patients?" "It's because she treats them for free." "She's not even getting paid for the treatment?" "!" "Not for those who can't afford it." "What?" "!" "And my sweat and blood is wasted on those fools?" "Aren't you Master Mahwang?" "Ohh..." "Everyone!" "This man is none other than Master Mahwang!" "Master, you saved my daughter!" "I shall never forget your benevolence!" "You were the only one who listened to our pleas, Master." " Our gratitude." "Our..." " I did?" "!" "Oh!" "Fine... all right!" "Stop!" "Don't come close!" "From now on, the Master will continue to help you." "So, please come to the sanatorium any time." "All right, I said all right!" "Ohh... ohh... stop!" "Don't touch me!" "I got it!" "All right." "I get it!" "It will hurt a little." "Orabeoni." "You look so careworn." "Is anything troubling you?" "No." "His Excellency has full confidence in me, and I have no qualms whatsoever." "I should say the same about you." "Aren't you going a little too far?" "As I keep treating those patients," "I realize it is not their malady I'm curing." "It's the patients themselves who give solace to my grieving soul." "You needn't worry." "Right." "That man is back from Buyeo." "Do you mean Muhyul?" "Yes." "He was really happy to hear you were in the capital." "Seeing him laugh so heartily... was a first for me." "I'd love to meet Muhyul." "Even if I lose track of all the people I've met at the Black Shadows' camp," "I wanted to keep my friendship with Muhyul alive." "He said he would be looking for you as well." "He even said that, if your past is exposed, you might encounter danger, so act with prudence." "After losing everything and living in such a baleful manner, why didn't you ever show me any sign of your suffering?" "I want to partake even in your grieving throes." "Orabeoni..." "Facing in solitude the world that painted me with the ignominy of being a traitor's son," "I dreaded every day of my life." "Before the day His Excellency brought me to his home, and you took my hands, quivering in despair," "I was even afraid of breathing this air." "His Excellency promised me that, in due time," "I'd be entrusted your hand in espousal, and he never stopped worrying about you." "The path to pay back all the benevolence he showed me... begins and ends with making you happy." "I shall stake every day I have left to protect you." "If I am able to sweep away all the mistakes which clouded my past, then, I... will be by your side, Milady." "The path to pay back all the benevolence he showed me... begins and ends with making you happy." "I shall stake every day I have left to protect you." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "I deserve to die." "You may get up." "Your Majesty." "It's me, Jogam." "I feel abashed showing you such rueful fettle." "How can you say that?" "Your regaining your senses is a blessing from heaven." "What on earth happened?" "I was blinded by ineptitude, and didn't realize we had... treacherous elements within our ranks." "Who are the traitors?" "Muhyul and Maro, Sire." "Muhyul." "Here." "Looks a little too weak to me." "I made it with water ox horns?" "!" "*Fine bow produced in Goguryeo by ethnic minorities, the Sosumaek (Small River tribe)" "Still, it will not improve on the maekgung*." "The arrows, too, need to be heavier and stronger." "Muhyul." "What is it, this time?" "You may enter." "Hey." "Why did you have to bring him here?" "What else could I do?" "He kept asking, I had to." "We could end up in trouble." "Don't worry." "I escorted him here in secret." "I committed a grave misdeed against you." "Forgive me." "I have forgiven you already." "If I realize you did it out of your fealty for Haemyeong, why shouldn't I forgive you?" "I should rather ask you whether you have forgiven me." "How would I dare..." "I told you, didn't I?" "That one day your fury shall evanish, replaced by warm zeal." "Those eyes hide something stronger than mere fealty." "You must have looked at Haemyeong with those eyes." "Your Highness." "Will you help me now?" "I am ready to stake my life for the sake of Goguryeo." " I shall await your command..." " Hordes of people can utter that pledge." "But nobody ever says that with sincerity." "I know very well where my shortcomings lie." "Thence I also know who can counterpoise for my demerit." "Just as you did for Haemyeong, it's with that gaze I wish you to bulwark me." "And, whenever you sense any blemish, launder it with your resolve." "Will you satisfy my wishes?" "Yes." "I shall follow your command." "I brought Yeon Hwa." "Bring her in." "You saucy wench!" "I was adamant Yeojin was not to elope from his quarters." "Where has he gone this time?" "!" "Speak to me right now!" "Give it a rest, Nunim." "She is not going to speak anyway." "If you don't tell me immediately, the vultures shall gorge on your carrion until demise does you part." "Nunim... really." "Leaving such a beauteous specimen to the vultures." "Are you in the mood for vagaries, at this juncture?" "!" "Where and with whom did His Highness leave?" "I don't know." "If you keep feigning ignorance with that vile gob of yours," "I shall sell you to a brothel in the capital!" "Hurry up and tell me." "Where did he go?" "To a commorancy within the Intelligence Bureau." "The Intelligence Bureau?" "!" "Why there?" "He said he was going to meet the man who abducted him." "They captured him?" "!" "Those were Black Shadows." "But why is that man there?" "His Highness said that man was a servant of Prince Haemyeong." "Haemyeong's servant?" "!" "You may leave." "I can't fathom how something like this could be possible." "A servant of Haemyeong becomes one of Buyeo's Black Shadows, and after that even abducts Yeojin?" "!" "Even more interesting is the fact Hye Ap is sheltering those people." "No matter if she used to serve Haemyeong, harboring Black Shadows is inexcusable." "Ahhh... does he even have eyes behind his head?" "Where on earth has he disappeared to?" "Who are you?" "I..." "Balso." "Do I need to pierce your throat to hear you speak?" "Then, how would I speak?" "!" "Hurry up and speak." "Dojin." "He's a compeer of mine." "I had heard you were in the capital, so I told him to look for you." "It's nice to see you." "Forgive me." "Let's go have a talk somewhere, shall we?" "Let's go." "Let's go." "Hey... drinks?" "!" "That's great!" "You can go." "Let's drink!" "It feels like a dream, meeting here again after all that happened as Black Shadows." "Dojin." "Why did you leave Buyeo?" "I couldn't forgive the Buyeo which abandoned His Excellency." "You met Lady Yeon?" "!" "Yes." "This little fool can't live without her." "He was in such a frenzy to meet her." "Ahhh..." "listen to you." "Always prattling around." "Why?" "Did I say anything wrong?" "!" "Just tell Dojin everything!" "He's fallen for Lady Yeon." "Stop it." "I must thank you for taking care of Yeon." "Now, I will protect her." "His Excellency entrusted her protection to me." "Even without his wish, Yeon has always been the only one for me." "Little fool, what did I tell you?" "Those were all vain efforts!" "Enough of that." "You're with the Biryu clan, right?" "Yes." "It's nice to hear you've settled in the capital, but your staying with the Biryu clan, I feel uneasy." "Why?" "There's a fatal bond between me and Baegeuk, the man you serve." "Fatal?" "!" "One day Muhyul and Maro will avenge what he did to us." "I must thank you for taking care of Yeon." "Now, I will protect her." "His Excellency entrusted her protection to me." "Even without his wish, Yeon has always been the only one for me." "There's a fatal bond between me and Baegeuk, the man you serve." "Yeon!" "Yeon... take these." "How could they sell at such ridiculous prices, uh?" "The Master only gave me a few pennies, but you're asking me for so many herbs." "You two are killing me, really!" "Well done." "Anyhow, don't work too hard." "You may come in." "Did all the chieftains leave?" "They're still in the palace, Your Majesty." "Tell them to go back immediately and focus on fulfilling their duties." "Your wish is my command, Sire." " You may leave." " Yes." "Your Majesty." "The day you were attacked, Prince Dojin came here." "If it weren't for him, the situation could have been much worse." "Without knowing your intents, I was about to harm Dojin." "If you had even only whispered it to me, nothing like this would have happened." "All the men who recognized Dojin shall be immediately slaughtered." "Your Majesty." "We must protect Dojin at all cost." "Before he comes back from his mission, nobody shall expose his identity." "I shall follow your wish." "I have something to discuss with Dojin, so head to Gungnae Fortress." "Bring some Black Shadows with you." "Yes." "And who might this be?" "Introduce yourself." "My name is Dojin." "He's a formidable fighter, so I proclaimed him the head of our private guards." "When you reach my age, you will begin sensing what sight can't show you." "What are you referring to?" "That man's gaze." "He shall bring more adversity than fortune." "I think we'll be blessed by fortune, with him around." "Really?" "If you say so." "Have you found out about that Dojin?" "I tried." "But even among the Biryu clan, nobody knows anything about his past." "He did earn Baegeuk's favors, but he only joined the Biryu clan recently." "That is impossible." "I've clearly heard he's been a Biryu clan soldier for long." "May I ask you something?" "Why are you so interested in that man?" "This necklace was a gift I gave to my late brother." "But that man had it." "Apparently, it was given to him by one of his compeers, but I can't verify the authenticity of those claims." "Try to dig into it." "Yes." "Wasn't that necklace something Muhyul was carrying?" "What is all this about?" "Then, does that mean Muhyul is a prince?" "I was curious why His Highness paid so much attention... and cherished so much someone like Muhyul." "Tell me." "Is Muhyul really a prince?" "He is." "Only His Majesty and I know this." "Muhyul doesn't know, so we must keep it secret." "Your Excellency." "What is the matter?" "Princess Seryu is looking for Dojin." "Princess Seryu?" "!" "I know you lied about having been a Biryu clan troop in the past." "I shall ask you a second time." "Where is the man to whom this necklace belongs?" "I have never seen him since the war ended." "Keep lying to me, and I shan't forgive you!" "I came to the Biryu clan's capital abodes only recently, after I saved the Ubo's life." "But it's true I was part of the Biryu clan army to start with." "What is the matter?" " Take him!" " Yes!" "What is going on here?" "I know you entered the palace, and even met with the Empress and Princess Seryu." "We brought you here as we need to verify the identity of those who enter the palace, so there's nothing to fret about." "Since when were you part of the Biryu clan's army?" "And, before you joined them, what did you do?" "She asked you what you did before!" "I am the head of the Biryu clan's private guards." "I don't know why I should receive such treatment." "Answer what she asked!" "Answer me." "Call the Ubo." "I shan't utter a word before he joins us." "You fool!" "How dare you act like that here?" "!" "Do you have a death wish?" "!" "Drop your sword." "Bear in mind the Intelligence Bureau is observing you." "Why was Princess Seryu looking for you?" "What on earth could that necklace mean to her, to muster such curiosity on her part?" "She says it's something she gave to a late brother of hers who died after birth." "If he died after birth," "Prince Yeojin is not King Yuri's third son, he's his fourth." "His third son was born under a nefarious destiny, and was offered to the gods in sacrifice by the king himself." "King Yuri killed him right in front of his people." "But... you got that necklace from a compeer of yours?" "I don't know how that happened myself, but such is the case." "Because of that, the Intelligence Bureau is after me." "What?" "!" "If the truth about me having been a Black Shadow is revealed, wouldn't it hamper Your Excellency as well?" "I'll find you new dwellings outside the capital, so lie low for the time being." "Yes." "Come out." "Hurry up and tell me His Majesty's orders." "Isn't that too miserly a welcome, after such an arduous trip?" "Stop prattling, and tell me right now." "What His Majesty orders is to slay Muhyul and Maro." "It will be difficult, for the time being." "What are you saying?" "Goguryeo's Intelligence Bureau is investigating me." "I'll leave the capital and lie low for a while." "This is the information about Goguryeo I promised him." "Go back, and give it to His Majesty." "Yeon." "Orabeoni." "I'm leaving the capital for a while." "Is anything wrong?" "It's nothing to worry about." "I didn't want to leave your side anymore..." "Don't worry about me, and take good care of yourself." "The more I get to know you, the less I understand what guides your actions." "What is that supposed to mean?" "With your acumen and ambitions, why are you wasting your time here as the second in power?" "You're not afraid of anything, are you?" "I became a lord thanks to my sister, but when you rise from the bottom like I did, you can just feel it instinctively... whose carriage you should ride." "More than the Sangga, I think it is you who should lead this Biryu clan." "If you could just find enough resolve to do so," "Her Majesty shall pave the way for your success." "What is the reason you were looking for me?" "Tell me whatever it is you want from me." "You'll have to hand me some of your troops." "My troops?" "!" "Is it Maro?" "Muhyul!" "So, after serving His Highness Prince Haemyeong, you abducted Prince Yeojin and tried to kill His Majesty, but now are under Hye Ap's command?" "!" "It's quite hard to figure you fools out." "Why are you residing at the Intelligence Bureau?" "!" "Hurry up and speak!" "He's the uncle of Prince Yeojin, the Lord of Yongdam." "He is particularly gifted when it comes to getting the truth... out of fools like you." "Is the Intelligence Bureau conspiring with Buyeo?" "!" "And is that the reason they instigated you to abduct His Highness?" "!" "Hurry up and tell me." "Otherwise, your eyes will bear the grunt of this burning iron." "Muhyul!" "Your Majesty." "It is time you reveal His Highness's identity." "His Highness tried to assassinate King Daeso, so Buyeo will not spare him." "If he keeps living outside the palace, we never know what could happen to him." "Your Majesty." "What is the occasion, so late in the night?" "We captured the Black Shadows responsible for... abducting Yeojin and attempting to slay you." "Supervisor, we're in trouble!" "Baegeuk captured Muhyul and Maro." "Speak!" "Why is Hye Ap trying to shelter you?" "Is Hye Ap conspiring with Buyeo?" "It's been long since I've last smelled burning flesh." "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "Supervisor!" "Stop this immediately!" "And I was just about to summon you." "Here you are, right on time." "What is the reason you're sheltering Black Shadows at the Bureau?" "They tried to harm His Majesty and abducted Prince Yeojin." "What is the reason you're harboring such people?" "Isn't the Intelligence Bureau conspiring with Buyeo?" "That is nonsense!" "Then, hurry up and tell us the truth!" "What are you waiting for?" "!" "Tie them up immediately!" "Yes!" "Stop!"

" I shall come often." " Yes, Orabeoni." "Aren't you thinking of Dojin as your successor, Sire?" "Something interesting shall soon happen." " I bid you welcome." " You remember us?"

"The divine revelation is still populating my thoughts, but I shall wait and see whether he can sweep away his nefarious fate." "If you keep this up, you'll force us to retaliate!"
