"You execute them personally." "It's a royal command." "Hurry up and take the sword." "Deok Sol Gye Baek." "It's a capital offense to go against an order in a war." "Why are you still not taking the sword?" "Your servant, Gye Baek," "Your Majesty's command," "I cannot accept it." "I knew you'd be like this." "You'd rather defy my order and risk death just to save the enemy's soldier, and earn eternal glory." "Somebody, come here." "Arrest Gye Baek, who dares to defy a royal command." "I'll execute him when we return to the palace." "Yes." "You, what did you just say?" "Bong Seok and Go Dap So are dead?" "= Episode 28 =- Yes." "Furthermore, their remains were buried underneath the prison in Sabi City, so that the criminals can step on them." "Ui..." "Ui..." "Ui Ja!" "I will never forgive you!" "If I don't exterminate you and Baekje, if I don't exterminate you..." "Ui Chan!" "Ui Chan!" "Get a hold of yourself, Ui Chan!" "Your Majesty." "Get out!" "Gye Baek was doing it for Your Majesty and Baekje's sake." "Miscreant!" "Are you also going to defy my order now?" "So I'm wrong and Gye Baek is right?" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty is correct." "But if you execute Gye Baek now, then Baekje's pillar will be gone." "Without Gye Baek, Baekje is unable to do anything." "Will it really come to that?" "Fine, let me show all of you." "Without Gye Baek, I, Ui Ja can still do it." "I'll show you!" "Servant!" "Did you call for me, Your Majesty." "Get ready to move." "We're going to battle Seoribeol immediately." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty." "Anybody who defies my command shall die." "Go and get ready to move out." "Your Majesty, please think twice!" "Don't defy my order." "Seoribeol is only a day's ride from here." "We've just seized Daeha City, how can we now launch an attack on Seoribeol?" "With our soldiers present morale, attacking Seoribeol will be easy." "It won't be Gye Baek but I, Ui Ja, who annihilates Silla." "This can't be, looks like we'll have to take His Majesty away forcibly." "Fine." "Your Majesty." "Quickly, follow His Majesty." "Enemy attack!" "Prepare to fight." "Attack!" "What's this talk about attacking Seoribeol?" "The alcohol is making him impulsive." "We have to stop them." "Anyway, it's fortunate that Generals Ui Jik and Eun Sang will escort him back." "Don't be too worried." "Jwapyeong Sir, our troops were attacked!" "His Majesty is missing." "What?" "General, you must go and save His Majesty." "His Majesty was on his way to attack Seoribeol, when he was attacked and is now missing." "Where is everybody?" "Ui Jik, Eun Sang!" "Where are you?" "Is there anyone here?" "Your Majesty." "Gye Baek." "Your Majesty, get a hold of yourself." "Your Majesty." "Hurry up, carry His Majesty." "Hurry up!" "Yes." "Stop it." "Kill me." "Don't be like this, let's leave together." "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and kill me!" "If mother were to see us like this, what do you think she'd say?" "She'd be in so much pain that she'd be unable to say anything." "She'd be shedding tears of blood." "I told you not to talk nonsense!" "The trauma sustained by the head injury seems to be more serious than the injury sustained from falling from the horse." "We can only treat him superficially here." "We cannot delay this." "Looks like we'll have to return to the palace." "Let's go together, General." "I can't." "Your Highness and jwapyeong should accompany His Majesty back to the palace." "I'll return after I've settled everything here." "You said you'll come later?" "If the enemy senses that His Majesty's life is at stake, they'll seize this opportunity to strike back." "And furthermore, if His Majesty's condition is known, our soldiers' morale will drop." "Gye Baek is right." "Not only Silla, but within Baekje there'll be changes." "We must keep His Majesty's illness a secret." "In Sabi City there will be Silla spies as well." "You must protect His Majesty's position and come back with your head held high, and give the appearance as victor of this war." "Yes." "Tell them to ready the carriage." "Yes, sir." "= Sabi City, Baekje =" "How is he?" "Is His Majesty all right?" "About that, I'm sorry but judging by his present condition, the conclusion doesn't look good." "You're unable to confirm?" "Not only has he lost consciousness, but his body is cold and his pulse is weak." "Looks like it's a brain injury." "Looks like it's a brain injury." "Brain injury?" "Then there's the possibility that he'll forever be in this condition and never recover from it?" "Although we can remove the blood clots from the wound, we can't remove the clots that are lodged deep in his brain." "It's possible it could be worse than we've predicted." "Worse than what is predicted?" "Is there a possibility His Majesty may die?" "I am sorry." "Your Majesty." "How could this happen?" "Your Majesty, please calm down!" "Nothing is definite yet." "His Majesty will definitely wake up." "What security measures were in place for His Majesty, that he ended up like this?" "Her Highness didn't do anything wrong." "If His Majesty should suffer any mishap," "I will not let the person who's responsible get away with it." "At a time when we were having an all out war, His Majesty collapsed." "Even if it was an unforseeable incident, it shouldn't have been this kind of incident." "Is there any way we can have a ceasefire with Silla?" "We've already poured out the water." "(it's already too late)" "His Majesty executed Bong Seok and Go Dap So." "Whether a war will break out, is not for us to decide." "If this news were to spread to Silla, this will become a major crisis." "Because of Daeha City, their enmity has escalated." "If they know of His Majesty's condition, they'll launch a massive attack on us." "The only people in the royal court who know of this matter, are daejwapyeong and the six of us who are are sitting here." "If other people learn of this, the Silla spies will get to know immediately." "Leaving aside the Silla spies, the noblemen and the Ministers, how long do we intend to conceal this from them?" "The noblemen contributed the rations and their private soldiers to fight this war." "They will definitely want to be rewarded for this war." "Long live Your Majesty." "Long live General." "Yes, long live, 10 000 lives." "Long live Dok Gae." "What happened?" "Why is it we don't see His Majesty, there's only General Gye Baek?" "His Majesty?" "His Majesty has already returned to the palace." "He has returned to the palace?" "When?" "When... that," "Come, come, come, about that..." "To know the secret can harm you." "The harm sustained will be very serious." "The noblemen waiting for His Majesty, it's not just one or two." "When did he return to the palace so silently?" "He's been unconscious for six days already?" "The physician said he might not wake up." "Even if he finally wakes up, he won't be normal." "The after effects may be paralysis." "This is such a serious matter." "Is it really that serious?" "Yes, it's not an ordinary matter." "What is the progress of the Silla army?" "I have to return to the battlefield in a few days time." "Through our mole, we know that they're reassembling their soldiers in Seoribeol." "They'll be striking back very soon." "Can they strike back so quickly?" "The hatred that Gim Chun Chu harbours for losing his daughter and son-in-law is petrifying." "Now an all out war is inevitable." "Silla will be launching a massive counterattack." "There's no change in His Majesty's condition." "Who will make the decisions in the royal court?" "If we follow precedents, then the Queen should be his surrogate." "Then we must first install the Crown Prince, so that the Queen can manage the affairs of state." "Not only must we determine the Queen's surrogate powers, we must also decide on the position of the Great General to lead our army." "Great General?" "This is the time when His Majesty isn't available, this is a special period." "What if there are dissatisfied people who are against this?" "That's why this has to be decided by all the Generals." "It will also strengthen the capital's defences and security." "Of course, looking at the war situation at a glance, if there is going to be an all out war, there must be a capable person to take command of the entire army." "Then who is a suitable candidate for the position of the Great General?" "General Gye Baek is the most suitable candidate." "General Gye Baek?" "Although he has credibility, whether he should hold the position of Great General, is still doubtful." "What is byeonggwan jwapyeong's opinion?" "I reckon the people and the soldiers trust only General Gye Baek." "But, I'm worried what His Majesty will think when he wakes up." "Looks like it's difficult for us to make such a decision." "We don't know yet whether we can get Her Majesty's consent." "Then, let us try to persuade the Queen." "Appoint General Gye Baek as the military commander?" "If His Majesty knows of this, he will be really furious." "Your Majesty, your servant is fearful." "Now His Majesty is at the gates of hell, only you have the right to make decisions for Baekje now." "Although I believe in General Gye Baek's ability and credibility, to have to make such a decision is putting me under pressure." "Give it to another general or maintain the current status." "We are already facing an all out war with Silla," "All of us know General Gye Baek's capabilities on the war front." "Your Majesty, you must make a decision quickly, only then can we save Baekje." "Later, when His Majesty knows about this, he will not blame Your Majesty." "Then, let's just do that." "Great General?" "How dare I?" "It's too preposterous!" "Now there's only you." "Don't we also have General Yun Chung or Generals Ui Jik and Eun Sang?" "General Yun Chung is a war veteran." "Furthermore, Generals Eun Sang and Ui Jik's names were mentioned." "But they cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility." "Her Majesty the Queen has also given her consent, you can now take control." "Is it because of His Majesty?" "Because of His Majesty, you are reluctant?" "Are you afraid that you'll end up a military tyrant like Yeong Gye Somun?" "Even if His Majesty is fearful, we have justification for doing this." "I will go to battle with my sword in hand." "The position of the Great General, give it to someone else." "The battle this time concerns the country's survival." "It will be an uphill battle." "But, the person who holds the position of the Great General, if his orders are different from yours, what will you do?" "You will definitely defy his orders and do as per your own wishes." "No one is comparable to your capability in fighting a war." "That is not it." "Don't quibble." "You have 15 000 soldiers following you." "Now the soldiers of Baekje's royal army have become your troops." "The only person who can ward and hold off Silla's attack is you, Gye Baek." "Is it because you don't trust me?" "Or are you afraid I'll become like Yeong Gye Somun, and become someone who'll manipulate Your Majesty?" "Who has given all of you consent to liaise with Goguryeo secretly?" "Don't any of you have any regard for my words?" "And do any of you actually regard me as your king?" "Your Majesty, you can't do it." "It's not me, looks like you're the King." "What are you thinking about that you didn't even notice somebody had come in?" "I'm sorry, I'll leave now." "I heard you're holding the position of Great General now." "I've not decided yet." "Are you hesitating because of His Majesty?" "His Majesty is very watchful of you, General." "If he wakes up he'll be very angry." "But... you holding the position of Great General," "is for the country's sake." "All you have to do is think of that." "Won't His Majesty be angry?" "I'm telling you not to be afraid of His Majesty's wrath." "His Majesty will be watchful of you his whole life." "He's acting like this because he has committed a crime." "Did you say crime?" "No, it is nothing." "Deok Sol Gye Baek, you are now the Great General." "General you're now the commander in chief of the armed forces." "You're to uphold the country's polity, and protect the royal family." "You must also defend us against Silla, and protect this place." "Your servant Gye Baek will comply with your order." "Now things have turned out like this." "Hyeong, sharpen it well, this is our lives." "(Hyeong - older brother)" "Dae Su, Yong Su, I'm here." "I'm so tired." "Why are you in such a hurry?" "Why are you not using honorifics?" "When you're in a good mood you use them, and if you're in a foul mood you don't bother." "What's wrong with you?" "You told me you'd quit drinking, but I saw you drinking on the last occasion, and you were carrying the jar around." "Why?" "Dok Gae, when did I drink?" "If you continue, I'll punish you using our martial laws." "Fine, I understand." "I'll keep your secret." "All of you didn't hear that, right?" "Even if you did hear, pretend you didn't hear." "Our Yong Su will not drink." "He will just smell of wine." "You!" "Fine, I understand." "There's another piece of good news." "Our General Gye Baek has been elevated to Great General." "All of you must be happy, right?" "Is this true, Dok Gae?" "General Gye Baek is now elevated to the commander in chief of Baekje's armed forces." "Why did they make him a Great General suddenly." "What's happening?" "It's His Majesty who's the commander in chief, and there's also byeonggwan jwapyeong." "Why is the General holding that position?" "Your mind is so shallow." "It's because His Majesty isn't well." "Didn't you both hear, on that last occasion, when His Majesty fell from his horse." "Wasn't it said he'd broken his leg, but his injuries weren't serious?" "That... was said on purpose." "They said he's not sick, the sickness isn't serious and if he dies, they'll say he's not dead." "Why?" "By doing that, it will ensure that all of you will continue to do your work well." "That's why they're doing this." "And also, come nearer." "I think His Majesty will be going to heaven soon." "What's going to heaven?" "Die?" "Yes, die." "Yes, die." "I said die." "We should prepare for that eventuality." "You should be careful what you say!" "There's a possibility that Silla might be attacking here, what nonsense are you spreading?" "The General has asked us to gather together." "Silla will be launching a massive attack soon." "From now on, our strategy is for all of you to go to each and every city and explain to them." "Yes." "Yong Su will go to Dongha City." "Dae Su will go to Daeha City, meet with the general there and then head to Gajamseong City." "The others, once you reach the city you're responsible for, go and tell the city lord of my orders." "The plan is the same." "No matter what, nobody is to leave the city." "We just have to focus on defending." "If anybody should leave the city, for whatever reason, they'll be punished according to martial law." "Tell everybody, until Silla retreats, they must defend the city at all costs." "Yes." "Why is it we can't attack, but we're to defend only?" "I heard Gim Yu Sin is leading the army." "We must never underestimate Gim Yu Sin." "If we rush out of the city gates, we'll be robbed of the city." "If Silla delays their attack, that means Gim Yu Shin is trying to lure us out." "Therefore, if we don't attack, then Silla will have to retreat?" "They won't retreat directly." "Wouldn't that be a defeat?" "Then all you have to do is just attack them?" "What?" "How can I do it alone?" "As long as I have you, that is sufficient." "You have to go to Goguryeo again." "Goguryeo?" "Are you asking me to see Yeong Gye Somun again?" "That's right." "Give this to him." "I heard from the Silla spies that Goguryeo is advancing to the south." "To the south?" "Then is Goguryeo intending to attack Silla?" "I will spread rumours." "We're going to join forces with Goguryeo and attack Silla." "This will divert their attention." "Yeong Gye Somun wants their territory back." "Once he receives this, he'll launch an immediate attack." "If that happens, Silla can only retreat." "Goguryeo is going to launch an attack on us?" "Yes." "Goguryeo is still greedy for our territory." "So Baekje and Goguryeo are going to join forces and attack us." "This is really..." "really too distressing!" "Gather all the soldiers to guard the city now." "Tell Gim Yu Sin to guard the city well." "We just needed a few more days and our attack would have been successful." "It's such a pity that we have to retreat now." "It's a real pity, but now we can only retreat." "If we don't, we'll lose many more of our cities." "Go and tell Gim Yu Sin quickly." "I must definitely exterminate Baekje." "To revenge my daughter and son in law's deaths." "To take revenge for the bitterness of losing Daeha City." "The Silla army has retreated." "Gim Yu Sin's soldiers have also retreated." "Now that the Silla army has retreated, we can breath more easily." "It's all thanks to General Gye Baek that we can relax and rest easy." "The credit belongs to naesin jwapyeong and naedu jwapyeong, for persuading the Queen to choose General Gye Baek." "We just did what was necessary." "Let's go and tell the Queen the good news." "I'll go and tell her." "Must you really do that?" "Then..." "If this goes on, and if His Majesty should die, the situation will just become more chaotic." "You sound like you want His Majesty to die." "I'm really..." "How can you think that of me?" "Then, as you say, install Prince Hyo as the Crown Prince." "When did I say that I wanted Prince Hyo to be installed as the Crown Prince?" "Then what is it you want exactly?" "Do you want Her Majesty to continue like this?" "Definitely, we have to choose one out of the two." "As you know very well, Her Majesty doesn't understand politics." "How long is she going to run the country?" "What if the Queen were to trust some treacherous court official." "This will worsen the problem." "We cannot delay installing the Crown Prince." "Although they're still young, if we assist them, then things will be fine." "Just trust me." "Prince Tae is obedient to me, and will abide by my words." "Yes, that's right." "Out of the two, one will be the Crown Prince." "His Majesty is indisposed." "It's something that can't be helped." "I'm going to take what you've said, as you agreeing to us installing a Crown Prince." "But my thinking is different from yours." "Presently the prince is still young, he can only follow the views of the government body." "I'll just agree to this one matter." "Yes, yes," "No matter what your reason is, as long as Prince Tae becomes the Crown Prince, that's fine with me." "I'm so happy to hear that naesin jwapyeong is also agreeable to helping our Tae be installed as the Crown Prince." "In such a dire situation, I will abide and follow my brother." "So, this coming Council meeting, it's confirmed that our Tae will be installed as the Crown Prince?" "We can't be sure yet." "There are still many people who are against it." "And also," "We can't ignore those who support Prince Hyo." "Great General will also be against it." "Does General Gye Baek want Hyo to be installed as the Crown Prince?" "No, that's not it." "I understand." "The best way to go about it is to convince the Great General." "Could it be, that the two of you are unable to convince him?" "I can't agree with the two of you." "I am a military man." "A military man only has to protect the country." "Rather than supporting either, I'm neutral." "The person whom you support will be the victor." "Although you may not realise it, that's your influence as a Great General." "Without me, the two of you can still make use of the noblemen during the Council meeting to make the right choice." "Do you want to continue being neutral?" "Yes." "Even if the royal consort pleads with you?" "Definitely." "It's settled then." "Not opposing but being neutral, is also a good thing." "All of you understand what I mean?" "Of course." "The Queen is meeting regularly with the noblemen." "How many people do we have on our side who are supporting Hyo?" "We have two on our side, daejwapyeong and jojeong jwapyeong." "There are five supporting Prince Tae." "If this continues we'll fail, and Buyeo Tae will be the Crown Prince." "What happened to all those noblemen whose weaknesses we held in our hands?" "They're leaning towards the Queen." "I heard that they've been promised they'll be exempted from punishment." "They're flip-flopping this way and that way, such crafty people." "Your Highness." "If we fail this time then we're finished." "Is there any other way?" "Now, the best way to get around this problem is for His Majesty to wake up." "Don't be too worried." "His Majesty will not die so easily." "How long has he been lying there in a coma." "Even the physicians say there's no hope." "His Majesty shouldn't have initiated the killing spree there." "His Majesty is in this condition because the spirits of those who died unjustly are punishing him." "But..." "His Majesty will wake up." "Do you know when he'll wake up?" "If this continues and the Crown Prince is installed, then everything will have ended for us." "If you're so worried, I'll pray for you." "His Majesty only loves you." "So if His Majesty were to die, then you should sacrifice yourself and be buried with him." "What you've just said." "If His Majesty wakes up, I'll make sure to tell him that." "Your Highness." "Calm down." "Didn't Sinyeo tell you to trust her?" "How can I just wait like this?" "Isn't it because we don't have a solution?" "How can there be none?" "Is His Majesty the only person who can turn things around?" "Then, you're not thinking of..." "Great General, Gye Baek." "He has the power." "General Gye Baek has that kind of power." "What?" "You want me to seek out General Gye Baek on your behalf?" "Please help me." "It's better for you to speak directly to him." "I've sent him a letter, but he has rejected it." "If that's the case, I won't do it." "Then his intention to reject is clear." "Is it because you want General Gye Baek to support Prince Hyo?" "Don't do that." "Aren't you trying to make use of his feelings for you?" "For Hyo's sake, I will do anything." "Your Highness." "If Hyo doesn't become the Crown Prince, then he will not be able to live." "If you want to save Hyo and I, please seek out the General on my behalf." "What do you want to say to me here?" "That..." "What am I doing?" "What's the matter?" "If I don't do this, you won't see me." "I don't want to take part in the politics." "I know." "But General, you're the only person whom I can ask to help." "Your Highness." "Please help me" "General." "The only person whom I can rely on is you, General." "To help your child be installed as the Crown Prince?" "When His Majesty dies, everybody will follow you." "General, please help Hyo." "The installation of the Crown Prince is not something I can control." "Not even at my request?" "Your Highness has made an erroneous request." "I am leaving now." "Hyo must be installed as the Crown Prince." "Only then, only then can I return to your side." "I Eun Go, fell into His Majesty's despicable trap." "It's because there was no way out for me, that I left you." "That..." "What do you mean by that?" "If Hyo were to succeed the throne," "I will return to your side." "Do you know who this person is?" "Isn't he General Gye Baek?" "Your life, whether it's to be extinguished, is in the General's hands." "Whatever you have done, tell him honestly." "You received His Majesty's orders to deliver a petition of complaint to the late king." "Yes, General." "So, the finding of guilt of the Mok clan, was all His Majesty's evil scheme?" "That's the absolute truth." "Whatever might make His Highness suspicious, I've forestalled it." "You, should go and monitor the people from Eun Go's side." "To monitor those who are close to agassi, (Agassi - young lady) we shouldn't do this." "And you're asking me to do it." "I can't do it." "How is it that you don't know this is a preventive measure that we have to take?" "This is concerning Eun Go." "Apart from you who else is able to do it?" "Why didn't you discuss this with me?" "Discuss?" "You clearly said that as long as Eun Go can be saved, you're even willing to sacrifice your life." "Furthermore Eun Go's  situation now is because of you." "Because she wanted to save you." "But..." "What have you done to save Eun Go?" "Your Highness!" "I don't know who was first." "Whether it was you who secretly loved Eun Go first, or it was me who secretly fell in love with her first." "or it was me who secretly fell in love with her first." "Who else knows of this matter?" "General." "I asked you, who else knows of this matter?" "Naesin jwapyeong and naedu jwapyeong, both are aware of this." "General." "Go away temporarily." "What?" "I can't believe this." "It's just like what happened to my father." "I have misunderstood you," "I want to think like that." "You knew that Eun Go agassi was like my own life, but you destroyed us behind our backs," "just so you could possess her." "For such a long time." "Eun Go agassi and I," "were played with by Your Majesty." "Did we fall into your trap?" "You..." "Did Gye Baek call you as well?" "What is the matter?" "Do both of you remember this place?" "Isn't this the place where His Majesty and the three of us swore to be blood brothers?" "Please take it back." "I don't need these personal effects anymore." "What do you mean by that?" "The person who'd use this sword to protect his master, no longer exists." "What is wrong?" "Can it be, perhaps..." "You know too!" "The oath that we took here, was supposed to be complied with by all of us." "But one person broke it." "That person was His Majesty." "Gye Baek." "When I was standing here on that fateful day, what we promised each other," "not even for a day, not even for a moment have I forgotten." "I Gye Baek," "I've been living alone all this while, but now, with my brothers, we'll forge ahead together." "Our paces, are paces that will lead us to a new world." "That world, will be a world where people will have no regrets." "No injustice, and a world without tears." "No revenge, and no bloody feud." "A world without orphans and refugees." "We brothers will move forward in that direction." "Even if we're blocked by the mountains, even if we're cordoned off by water, we'll still continue to march forward." "If any of my brothers should get tired and fall," "I will carry him, and together we'll march forward." "I do swear." "I do swear." "I do swear." "I do swear." "Why?" "Why did you conceal it from me during that period?" "We reckoned that was the best thing to do then." "That's correct, at least my heart was happier that way." "Now, whether you want to scold us or beat us up, do as you please." "Look here..." "Why?" "Since everything is out in the open now, what else is to be left unsaid?" "His Majesty snatched away his younger brother's woman, and we, with great trepidation, covered it up." "That's right, we brothers have lied to you." "We are sorry, Gye Baek." "We have sinned against you, and are now pleading for your forgiveness." "What then is faith?" "What are moral principles?" "If you don't have those qualities..." "What am I going to do now?" "What shall I do?" "How can I go on living from now on?" "The outcome is still this." "Why must this happen at this time?" "Friend!" "Come!" "The Silla army has retreated." "That's such a relief!" "It's because we have General Gye Baek, and they dare not come." "You're right, as long as we have General Gye Baek, we don't have to be afraid of Silla." "Our Baekje General will protect us." "We're able to live in peace because of General Gye Baek." "Yes, yes, someone whom we should be grateful to." "The person whom we should thank for giving Baekje such a person is God." "Yes, yes." "Come, let's drink." "It's really good that the Silla people have left." "It feels really good." "You said this previously." "It's not for the sake of the king who rules Baekje, but for the sake of Baekje." "So you're protecting Baekje not because of the king, you're protecting Baekje for the sake of the commoners." "Gye Baek." "You are not His Majesty's follower, neither are you Her Highness' follower." "And you are definitely not our follower." "You belong to Baekje, you belong to the people." "You asked, what is faith?" "This so-called loyalty refers to returning the trust others put in you." "And it further means to protect those who believe in you." "Pick up your sword." "You are Baekje's Great General." "You're right, as long as we have General Gye Baek,  we don't have to be afraid of Silla." "Our Baekje General will protect us." "We're able to live in peace because of General Gye Baek." "Yes, yes, someone whom we should be grateful to." "The person whom we should thank for giving Baekje such a person is God." "It's good to be able to see you like this." "In future, I would like to see you like this." "You shouldn't be like that." "Your Highness cannot leave His Majesty now." "At a time when His Majesty is dying," "Your Highness must protect His Majesty." "Don't you realise what His Majesty has done to the two of us?" "I do." "If you know, why are you still saying that?" "Because I want to keep my faith." "Faith?" "To who?" "The faith between His Majesty and you was broken long ago." "Who are you keeping the faith for now?" "For the people and the country." "Not to the king, but I want to keep the faith with my country, Baekje." "A long time ago, when Your Highness left me," "didn't you say this?" "That I've not lost Your Highness to His Majesty, instead I've dedicated you to Baekje." "That's how I want to remember it." "I've been able to go on living because of those words." "That I've dedicated you to Baekje." "And also dedicated myself, first and foremost, to Baekje." "Your Highness, I too belong to Baekje." "When Baekje needs you, no matter how much pain you're suffering, you'll have to endure it." "I will also continue to endure this pain." "Therefore to ask me to support Prince Hyo, that's something unacceptable to me." "Let the matter of the Crown Prince be decided at the Council meeting." "No matter who becomes the Crown Prince, I will protect him faithfully." "Agassi." "Don't ever address me in that way again."
