Episode 14

Your Majesty, the envoy from Xiu have come to give you their greetings.

You have endured coming from far away...

Through our yearly trade with Xiu, we are able to have relationships

with nations such as Heuk Chi Guk nearby

and far away as Dae Beul Rhim Guk...

Heuk Chi Guk~Philippines Dae Beul Rhim Guk~Eastern Roman Empire

We are grateful for it has been very beneficial.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Through diplomacy, we were able to conceptualize a mutual friendship.

On top of that,

through merchants trading each others goods,

it has raised the level of enrichment for the people.

For this trade, what merchandise of ours do you have in mind?

Yes, Seju...

I am very interested in the Hwang Chil

that was taken by merchants in our last trade session.

Hwang Chil ~ Is a tree that produces a sap that is made into a paint

Hwang Chil?!

Yes.

When it's painted on lumber or metal,

it helps in preventing rust, it's also fire resistant,

therefore, it's used for many purposes.

Our Emperor has given his authorization

to use Shilla's Hwang Chil on all materials being used to build a new palace.

As expected, a great nation is just that.

When Hwang Chil is normally used as a decoration, but to use is to build a palace?

Not only Xiu nation, but merchants from other nations has been keen on Hwang Chil.

Even from the biggest tree,

it only produces about a cup worth, so it's a very valuable commodity.

Wouldn't a vast amount be needed in order to build a palace?

Since we are taking a valuable item, how can we not pay a great sum.

What would you like in return, Your Majesty?

I'm elated to know that Emperor of Xiu highly values our nation's Hwang Chil.

We, as a nation, also highly value Xiu's merchandise.

We are honored.

Then... What would you like?

We've heard that Xiu nation has developed a new Chaek Ryeok.

Chaek Ryeok~A calender book containing info about yearly changing seasons

Forgive me, but the Chaek Ryeok is unfinished...

And also... Chaek Ryeok is regarded as a Guk Bi.

Guk Bi~National secret

Although Hwang Chil is highly valued...

How can you speak of even asking for the Chaek Ryeok?!

It's more than I thought.

Amongst them, I'm certain that one has brought in the Sadaham's Maehwa.

I'm sure you're right.

But, among those many people, how will we be able to find that person?

Can you do it?

What will you do?

I'll do it. We have to at least give it a try.

Because we really have no way of knowing.

You must always be careful.

What's more important than finding that person

is creating a problem with an unnecessary act.

You must heed and heed some more of the words from the princess.

Do you understand?

Yes, do not worry!

Lord Yushin, do I always make you feel that uneasy about me?

I will be going now.

I must start preparing the merchant's meals.

Alright. Be careful.

The princess cannot bear any responsibility if something should happen.

Yes, yes, yes!

Sir Jang has come?!

Yes, I definitely saw him.

I'm certain it's Sir Jang, the same person I saw from the last trading session.

You must watch him closely.

He has always traded with Seju.

Yes.

Since he is close to Misaeng,

he will act as the middle man in dealing with other merchants.

So, make sure to keep a watchful eye on other merchant who deal with him.

As we speak, the merchants are unpacking their load at Gwangin Jeon,

so I have alerted the trainees acting as their bodyguards to keep a watchful eye.

Yes, this time.. Most certainly,

I must find out about Sadaham's Maehwa and it's true identity.

Chilsuk,

because you've body guarded for the merchants,

and since you've also taken care of that woman...

You've endured through many sufferings.

Here.. Take this.

I put a little more in there for you.

Have a safe journey.

Thank you.

This is it.

Make sure you pass that on.

But of course. Don't worry.

Perhaps, this item may be of help to you in making this deal,

so please take care of this for me.

I understand.

The merchants will be arriving here shortly.

The envoy will be staying at Jowon Jeon,

and the merchants will be staying here at Gwangin Jeon.

Jowon Jeon~Place where the envoy will be staying

You guys, check up on every single door, and make sure the security is tight!

Yes.

You guys, make sure nothing goes wrong with the meal preparations!

Yes!

This isn't some event where you just put down items that you see.

Inside of those alcohol and food represents

our nation's pride and principle which is given and then received.

There mustn't be one single mistake.

Do you understand?!

Yes, Sir!

Alright then, start going to your assigned locations.

Go!

Everyone, welcome!

You must have endured through much by coming from such a far away place.

Let's go.

You go first.

Why?!

Sir Jang?!

Lord Misaeng, have you been well?

How long has it been?!

I thought my head was about to come off waiting for you, Sir Jang!

Me too!

Lord Misaeng, it looks like your face looks even more important then before.

Thank you!

You're good at making jokes!

What's this?! Pay attention to where you're going!

I'm sorry.

[Chilsuk]

[Sohwa]

So, you didn't eat anything once again?

Sohwa?! Sohwa?! Wake up?! Sohwa?!

According to the physician, your eyes were damaged from the heat of the fire.

Since there is no way of knowing what will happen to your eyesight,

so for the time being, you must stay like that.

Here, here, here!

You must first put ginger and garlic into the oil and fry them.

And after that, you must mixed them by putting in cumin,

cinnamon, and fennel together and fry them.

At the same time, that's when you put in the Uelgeum.

This Uelgeum has a very strong odor. It's also spicy and bitter...

Uelgeum~During Shilla era, it was used as a dye

Do the merchants really eat this stuff?

Do they really eat this?!

By putting this out, I hope we aren't making a mistake...

Deokman?! Do they really eat this?!

Yes, they really like it.

It's very effective for digestion and fever,

so it's the perfect food for those weary travelers.

That's right, you wretch. Who discovered this?

This is really good for the body...

It's good for the digestion...

It's good for the fever...

Samwol, try this...

Alright, everyone let's get started! Hurry, hurry.

What are you doing here?

Yes, that is... It's in regards to the curry rice...

Since everyone has different tastes...

I need to ask questions to see what ingredients I should put in or take out.

That's why.

Then, why are you here?

I thought only people from India ate curry rice?

Isn't this room occupied by the people from India?

Their room is over there.

Yes, I see.

Then... I must go there.

Where are you going?

What?

I'm going over to their room...

Do you know how to speak Chinese?

What?

Oh, you're right! I must be out of my mind!

How can I possibly ask them myself...

Yes indeed... You'll need a translator.

Teong Byeon~Translator

I will do it...

So, follow me.

Yes.

Have you been well?

Wait... Aren't you Saeju Mishil's son, Bojong?

It's a pleasure.

Yes. It has been a long time since we met.

He is the translator.

This child is preparing the feast,

but he needed to ask some questions, so I brought him here.

This child is preparing the feast,

but he needed to ask some questions, so he brought him here.

What is it?

What do you need to ask?

There are many spices that are put into a curry...

Since the flavor is so strong

that I need to find out what to take out or put in according to one's taste buds.

What goes in it?

It has garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and fennel.

It has garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and fennel.

It has garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and fennel.

In a curry, it has garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and fennel...

In a curry, it has garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and fennel...

Is there any spices that does not suit your taste?

Is there any spices that does not suit your taste?

I don't like fennel.

He want his without any fennel.

What about for you guys?

I am fine with everything.

Me too.

The others prefer to have everything.

Yes, I understand.

Then, continue with your conversation. We will be taking our leave now.

Is there anything else you need?

By chance, are you famished?

If that's the case, then he would have called a servant.

Let's go.

Ah...Yes...Then, is there some other food that you would like to try during the feast.

If that's the case, then he would relayed that message separately.

Let's go.

We apologize. We will be leaving now.

Work hard.

What are you doing?!

Forgive me. Forgive me.

I'll clean this up quickly.

One can get hurt by a piece of broken glass, so clean it very thoroughly.

Yes, Sir.

I apologize.

It's alright. Do not blame him too much.

No, not at all,

I'll make sure it's cleaned spotless, and will have a new flower pot brought in.

He'll make sure it's cleaned spotless, and will have a new flower pot brought in.

Let's continue our conversation.

This time, in regards to the trade with Lady Mishil...

In regards to this trade,

(*In Latin)

Lady Mishil won't be able to refuse.

This merchandise is something that Lady Mishil wants the most!

In order to pass on this merchandise,

we have also come from far away as 20,000ri (8000km) for this.

That's right, it was Sir Jang.

I'm finished.

I apologize. Then, we will be taking our leave now.

Hasha? Undoubtedly, you have really brought a big on this time.

Of course.

Can I see this merchandise one time?

Let's take a look.

So, this is... Sadaham's Maehwa (Plum blossom).

Yes, it is.

Sadaham's Maehwa...

When Lady Mishil sees this, I'll bet her eyes will be filled with disbelief.

A man name Hasha from India has brought with him the Sadaham's Maehwa.

So, it is a man from India who has brought it.

Yes. I guess my sister sure has an eye for finding certain people...

After all, by forging a relationship with Sir Jang,

he was the one who ended up connecting you to the right person.

I am taking good care of Sir Jang, so everything should go smoothly.

But... This time, their asking price might be pretty steep.

I don't care how much it costs.

As long as the merchandise is authentic...

I will pay whatever price.

I got it...

Then, why don't we make an appointment to meet tonight?

However, since we were discovered by Kim Seohyeon last time...

You must move with caution.

Yes, do not be content with just being satisfied.

Because I won't forgive a mistake like the last time.

Yes, Nunim.

- Who the heck are you?! - Aigoo, aigoo I'm sorry! Aigoo, I'm sorry!

Can't you keep your eyes open?!

I'm sorry!

Just go! Go!

Is it done?! Did you do it?!

Really now... Making a retiree do this kinda crap.

Did you do it?!

It's been many years since my retirement!

You couldn't do it?

What do you think?

My sharp sense...

Hasn't rusted yet...!

He was born with it! Just born with it!

Make it exactly the same and hurry.

Here, do it again.

- Again, what?! - Put it back.

I outta... Really!

Ahh.. Last time I apologized like this, so this time you apologize like this.

Huh! It's you again?!

(Jukbang is mimicking his words)

Who the heck are you, really?! Do you walk around with your eyes closed?!

You little runt....

- Why... this punk! - Sir Jang?!

Daenambo~One of Seorabeol's 10 elite Hwarang. Baekho Bido's leader

Hey, hey, hey...

I did put it back, but why do you keep telling me to take it out over and over again?

It's like stealing the same thing twice.

What is this thing, then?!

You're too noisy. Just hurry and make it exactly the same.

At least tell me what's going on!

They must be going somewhere.

Right now, hurry up, hurry and make it exactly the same!

Sheesh... It's breaking the law though.

If you didn't break the law to do it, then it isn't like you.

Hurry up! We don't have much time!

Hurry up!

A message came from Lord Bojong.

Sir Jang has finally started to move.

Right now, Lord Bojong and some trainees are trailing after him.

There cannot be any mistakes.

Also, avoid any unnecessary acts.

Just trail them and see where they are headed.

Yes, Sir.

Can you do it faster?!

I need to get in before Sir Jang comes back!

Then, you do it! Here! Take it, you do it!

I have no idea when Sir Jang will be coming back!

That's why, I'm asking you, what is this all about?!

Do you know what type of skill this entails?!

I do not bother using this skill for anything less 10 Ryang worth of gold

A long time ago, he once used this skill to steal a hen.

You punk!

Back then, that is... that hen... We had no choice...

Back then, we were really hungry, so you were like...

I said to hurry up!!

I'm sorry...

Please.. Hurry, huh? Hyungnim? Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Alright! No need to yell...

Hurry up and do it.

They're gone!

What?

That is...

What do you mean they're gone?

Weren't you on their tail?

Yes, but... That is... They just suddenly disappeared.

What is it? Did they lose them?

Wait!

Where?

Hajong Hyung? What brings you here?

And you?

I was training with my subordinates, and we were on our way back.

Is that right? Aren't you suppose to be guarding the merchants?

So, you neglected your duty as a bodyguard,

and you came here training in the middle of the night?

Yes... Actually, we were just on our way back to Gwangin Jeon.

You take after your father so much, that you seem really stoic.

Alright then, I'll be going now.

Did you lose them?

What are you tying to say? Because I do not understand.

Being shameless and cunning... You're just like your father.

You, wretch!

What are you going to do? Staring at me like that?!

At this late night, you guys look so lovely.

Are my two sons playing hide and go seek?

Didn't I ask you?!

What were you doing?!

Mother?! Please forgive me!

I apologize!

All of you... Go back and wait for me.

Hyungnim, your skill hasn't diminished yet.

That's right, who am I?

I can't control it nor hold it in.

Do you know how many years it has been? It hasn't rusted, not one bit.

This is a sickness I tell you, just sickness.

You were definitely born a thief.

That's right, I was born a thief...

What?! A thief?!

You wretch, I outta!

A thief?!

It came out wrong...

Did you do it?! Is it finished?!

Of course! Look, with this rusted tools, in less than an hour, I was...

Are you sure?!

Of course! Jukbang may be clueless in everything else,

but he is good at anything that is mischievous.

Great, I need your help.

What now?

I need to take this and go inside a place. Be my lookout.

Be a lookout? I'm actually turning back to my old self today...

Do you need anything else? I can also show you how to slide down a rope...

You want a demonstration? Like this...

What do you think?

We don't have much time, so let's go.

We're going? Should I show you how?

I'm going.

[Shilla Palace]

Please come this way.

This way.

Thank you for all your hospitality.

Please have a seat.

Please have a seat.

You've endured a lot from your travels.

You've endured a lot from your travels.

Seju, no problem at all.

Hasha? Why don't you show Saeju the merchandise that you have brought.

What are you trying to steal?

I'm not going to steal anything. I'm just going to take a look.

Just looking? Why?

I'm going in now... Be a good lookout.

Hey, hey, hey.

If I give you the "knock, knock" sign, then come out right away, understand?

Perfect? My ass...

Seju, what you're looking for is in that box, so please take a look.

He said, it's in there, so he would like for you to verify it.

Dae Myeong Ryeuk~on the 6th year of reign of King Dae Myeong

of Song nation, Jocheungji created this calender book.

Master Wolcheon, is it the right one?

Yes, this is the one.

My lady, this is definitely the Dae Myeong Ryeuk.

Master, are you really certain?!

The length of one year is consisted of 365(2428/10000) days.

It even has a record of Sae Cha.

Sae Cha~The difference in angle during the different stages of the earth's rotation

What about Chi Yun Bup? Does it have the caculation for Chi Yun Bup?

Chi Yun Bup~Leap year. Extra day every 4 years.

Chi Yun is at 391 years and at 144 years, it uses a new calculation.

My Lady, it is correct.

This is Dae Myeong Ryeuk, the most accurate calender almanac in existence.

What you're asking is a preposterous amount!

Give them what they want.

What? Right now, we don't have the amount of gold they're asking for.

Then, we will just have to find some.

We will give you what your asking for.

Thank you, Seju.

I'm the one who should be saying "thank you".

Why don't you finish the negotiation.

Relay to them that they will be notified as soon as the amount of gold is ready.

Yes.

Why don't you come outside with me to discuss the details.

Please come this way.

Thank you.

Congratulation.

It seems as though the Sadaham's Maehwa will now be bearing its fruit.

Sadaham...

[Young Mishil]

Chaek Ryeuk~A calender book, containing info about yearly changing season.

This is...

Gaya's almanac...

If that is Cheongjo's decision...

Cheongjo~Mishil's pseudonym

If that's Cheongjo's dream...

If I am no longer needed to fulfill Cheongjo's dream...

Then, you will certainly need this in the future.

Please do not shed any unnecessary tears for me.

Please do not have a heartache on my account.

Sadaham had lived his life by a happy dream of being together with Cheongjo.

That is the same as a will to me.

Yes.

After leaving that letter, the Maehwa, and the Gaya almanac...

Lord Sadaham had passed away at a young age.

Maybe on that day, it was the beginning of Mishil.

Sadaham, who was a loyal subject.

After subjugating Gaya, and deceiving King Jinheung.

That was given to me as my last gift.

Even after I betrayed him when he left for war, and I became another man's wife...

He still left me the Gaya almanac.

Because we have that Gaya almanac.

We will now able to calculate Dae Myeong Ryeuk right here on the land of Samhan.

Yes.

If it were not for the Sadaham's Maehwa...

Even this Dae Myeong Ryeuk would have been useless.

[Sohwa]

Ahjeoshi... Here...

See here... This person is so cool!

But... He was assassinated.

But still...

The hero conquers nations, defends them, and even collects the spoils of war...

This... This... How...

Hey, What are you doing? Are you almost done?

Hey, why aren't you coming out yet.

Tell him to hurry and come out.

That's why beginners are headaches...

Now, it's a battle against time...

Even if it's goes long, it has to be finished within 30 minutes.

You go in... Just go in!

What's the matter with him?

Did he see a ghost?

Damn...That wretch has no basics at all, none whatsoever!

He said he was only going to take a look.

He should have at least cleaned up!

Deokman?! Deokman?!

Open the door! Why did you lock the door?!

Why would you lock the door?!

Hyung, do you think Deokman saw a ghost or something?

Back home, someone saw a ghost and went insane.

You wretch! Then, are you saying Deokman went insane?

- Well, no... - Then, is Doekman crazy?!

- It's not like that... - Make some sense!

What has just happened?!

How could those things...

How...

There...

What happened?

We weren't able to find out what Sadaham's Maehwa is, but...

According to the words of a trainee who lost Bojong while trailing his footsteps...

He mentioned that both Bojong and Hajong seemed to be tailing Mishil.

Tailing?

It seems as though both Sejong and Seolwon has no idea what Sadaham's Maehwa is.

Thus, when Mishil started to move, they became busy.

Mishil is quite terrifying.

She even kept it a secret from her own family.

Or else, could it be that it's a bigger secret than that?

Shall we share all of our secrets, then?

Were you that curious to know what Sadaham's Maehwa is?

Is that why you asked your sons to tail their mother?

That is... It's not that...

Sadaham's Maehwa is Lord Misaeng's business.

If you want to know about this,

then shouldn't we reveal and tell each other all of our business?

Lord Sejong, the things you had to do

in order for you to take over and control the council...

Should everyone know about that?

Seju... That is...

Lord Seolwon, despite your lowly birth status,

in order for you to become the chief general of military defense,

the things you had to do on that day...

Should I reveal all of them?

Seju...

Only Mishil knows about everything.

Only me, Mishil should know about everything!

If everyone here tries to find out about everything...

Then, aren't you implying that you would like to be Mishil?!

Since there cannot be two Mishils in this world!

If you want to be Mishil...

Then, all you have to do is slay this Mishil.

Mother, please forgive me.

This will never happen again!

Mother, I have done you wrong.

Dear, I will never grasp at this greed, ever again.

I was foolish. Please forgive me, Seju!

How can you bring such loneliness upon me?

I'm sorry, I've been short minded.

I am not blaming you.

Nor am I criticizing you.

To me, you are like a mountain.

You must always protect me.

The reason why I can strut vigorously...

Is because you have been that pillar for me.

Don't you know...

How much I rely on you.

My Lady!

You said that you would trust me.

You said, you were different from others...

And that you wouldi expect nothing from me.

I trust you.

Also, I do not want anything.

Only that... I want to share everything with you.

Your thoughts, your ideas...

Everything that you desire... I want to do it together.

We have already been doing it together.

Sadaham's Maehwa is merely just official business.

Other than that, everything that Mishil has, you have been sharing them already.

Seju.

Are those Mishil's words?

Yes.

Does Mishil really have the power to foretell the future?

I was also wondering that myself... if she had that power from the beginning.

Since you have been at the palace, you would have the best knowledge.

Well...

I believe it was from that time that you mentioned, but...

When Mishil presided over a ritual, it rained...

Or it stopped... She even predicted the lunar eclipse.

Whether it be a natural occurrence or a lunar eclipse,

the astrologers are always trying to predict, but they haven't been too successful.

So then, how can Mishil...

Precisely that.

When Daejae presides over a ritual, it doesn't work.

But when Mishil presides over a ritual, it would succeed.

Wouldn't that compromise Daejae's authority?

But, Daejae would always just chuckle,

and tells Mishil that she must be working together with the Heavens.

Why is Deokman acting like that?

Ahjeoshi, you did something, right?

You wretch! Am I the guy that is always causing trouble?!

To be honest... You give off that impression.

You wretch!

What's going on here that no one would take my side even after we came back from war?

Impression? More than a couple people would like to have this impression, you know?

Hyung, truthfully, your impression still come off that way...

Is Deokman still in that state?

Yes, Sir.

Open it.

The door... is locked.

Then break it.

What?

Hurry.

It wasn't locked.

Deokman is not here.

Where did he go?

So that is... We made the key here and manage to sneak in.

And I stood watch.

But after he saw something, he wasn't in the right state of mind.

What was it?

That is... Some book with some weird writings, and some stuff like silk...

There wasn't anything that special.

(*In Latin)

In regards to this trade, Lady Mishil won't be able to refuse.

This merchandise is something that Lady Mishil wants the most!

Lady Mishil...

Mishil?

Nunim?! This is!

Long ago...

Isn't this the identity badge for that runaway maiden?!

What's going on?

What's going on?!

There was a man who worked as a bodyguard for the merchants

who pleaded with me to give this to you.

He said that some bodyguard asked him to give that to you.

Who was that bodyguard?!

His name is Chilsuk.

Chilsuk?!

If you take a look inside the chest, there is a letter.

My Lady, It's I, Hwarang Chilsuk.

I'm reporting to you about what I've been ordered to do.

Although, I am not able to show you the bodies of that twin and the maiden, but both are dead.

That silk wrap was used to cover up the twin.

The identity badge belongs to that runaway maiden.

And that book is what that child read.

It's too late to ask for your forgiveness after all this time.

So, I, Chilsuk, am no longer able to be of anymore help to you,

therefore, I decided to step down.

Please, live a long and healthy life.

Where is he?

Where is Chilsuk?!

He said, he was leaving to a very faraway place.

That cannot happen...

Find Chilsuk?!

Lord Chilsuk has returned.

Are you out there, Bojong?!

Yes, Mother.

Have the trainees search all of Seorabeol's inns and surroundings.

I have to find a person.

That's right, Seokpum! Summon all memebers of Cheongryeong Ikdo.

Yes.

However, who are we looking for?

It's Chilsuk.

We must find him....

Understand?!

Yes, Sir!

Split up and find him!

Yes, Sir!

What's going on?

Who do we need to find?

Don't be shocked and listen to me.

To us, Ilwol Seongdo's greatest Hwarang...

We are looking for Lord Chilsuk.

Everyone split up and look for Lord Chilsuk.

Hurry!

Yes, Sir!

What's going on? Is Lord Chilsuk is alive?

My Lady is...

Chilsuk?
