~ Episode 40 ~
4
00:01:58,012 --> 00:02:00,804
The truth is much too cumbersome
a prospect for our people,
5
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:02,518
hope is beyond their capacity,
6
00:02:02,631 --> 00:02:04,043
dialogue is too vexatious
for their feeble minds,
7
00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:06,542
and any freedom given
will lead them to hesitate.
8
00:02:37,806 --> 00:02:39,393
Your Highness.
9
00:02:41,522 --> 00:02:42,754
Yes.
10
00:02:43,428 --> 00:02:44,897
Have faith.
11
00:02:46,497 --> 00:02:48,060
In what?
12
00:02:48,765 --> 00:02:51,013
You must have confidence...
13
00:02:51,823 --> 00:02:53,956
in what you believe to be right.
14
00:02:55,402 --> 00:02:57,089
You must believe,
15
00:02:57,883 --> 00:02:59,937
to endure this arduous journey.
16
00:03:01,841 --> 00:03:03,543
You must believe,
17
00:03:04,832 --> 00:03:07,166
to continue walking along this path.
18
00:03:11,728 --> 00:03:13,728
Will that suffice?
19
00:03:15,437 --> 00:03:17,401
You must believe.
20
00:03:19,904 --> 00:03:21,853
Is this the righteous path?
21
00:03:22,543 --> 00:03:24,906
You must believe it will be.
22
00:03:26,285 --> 00:03:28,233
You must believe in yourself,
23
00:03:29,463 --> 00:03:32,086
and find all the answers on your own.
24
00:03:35,682 --> 00:03:39,870
Right...
I will have to.
25
00:03:40,979 --> 00:03:43,358
On my own, by myself.
26
00:03:46,358 --> 00:03:48,664
All by myself...
27
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:25,984
My aunt is quite the specimen?!
28
00:04:27,783 --> 00:04:31,801
She gibbeted the village chief's pate,
and is making her return.
29
00:04:31,981 --> 00:04:33,585
Deokman, firsthand?!
30
00:04:33,735 --> 00:04:34,629
Yes.
31
00:04:34,719 --> 00:04:38,287
She also promised to lower interests.
32
00:04:42,454 --> 00:04:43,635
Ahh!
33
00:04:43,731 --> 00:04:46,370
Your words left a deep impression.
34
00:04:47,723 --> 00:04:52,775
"Punishment like a raging storm,
and prudence in rewarding."
35
00:04:55,524 --> 00:05:00,285
And I do concur about not
leaving any ominous precedent.
36
00:05:00,379 --> 00:05:07,237
Hence... I plan not to
leave any such precedent.
37
00:05:10,534 --> 00:05:13,675
It must be hard for her
to cope with all this.
38
00:05:14,961 --> 00:05:19,383
I recall the Maunryeong Battle
during King Jinheung's reign.
39
00:05:19,982 --> 00:05:20,847
Yes.
40
00:05:20,953 --> 00:05:25,477
Trailed by Goguryeo forces,
Your Highness and I kept retreating.
41
00:05:25,585 --> 00:05:27,856
We joined the campaign
with three thousand troops,
42
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:30,861
but only two hundred odd men
made it back alive.
43
00:05:30,966 --> 00:05:33,199
It was also my
first experience in battle.
44
00:05:33,372 --> 00:05:36,041
But you were remarkable,
despite being a woman.
45
00:05:36,268 --> 00:05:37,955
Is not everyone aware of your feats?
46
00:05:38,112 --> 00:05:41,424
Deserters and troops breaking rank
were increasing by the day,
47
00:05:41,559 --> 00:05:46,040
and this one day,
I captured seven deserters on the run.
48
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:49,518
Amongst the deserters was a trainee...
49
00:05:49,593 --> 00:05:51,433
who once rescued me from demise.
50
00:05:52,906 --> 00:05:56,471
The betrayal I felt seeing him desert...
51
00:05:56,625 --> 00:06:00,118
The dilemma of having to slay
the man who brought me salvation...
52
00:06:00,603 --> 00:06:05,005
After beheading those poor seven souls,
53
00:06:05,185 --> 00:06:07,627
I abandoned myself in desperate weeping.
54
00:06:08,976 --> 00:06:12,791
I had never even trembled,
while slaying countless foes.
55
00:06:12,911 --> 00:06:16,033
But my hands so fervently shivered,
I could no longer hold my sword.
56
00:06:16,131 --> 00:06:18,968
It is only natural,
for a commander in battle.
57
00:06:19,075 --> 00:06:21,139
It certainly must have been
because it was your first experience.
58
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,628
Yes.
However...
59
00:06:25,666 --> 00:06:27,874
Not long after, one day,
60
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:31,652
the shivering suddenly stopped,
61
00:06:32,386 --> 00:06:34,890
and I finally realized
how much I had changed.
62
00:06:35,085 --> 00:06:36,505
I...
63
00:06:37,404 --> 00:06:39,653
felt like another person.
64
00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:46,190
Will Deokman...
65
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,038
face the same change?
66
00:07:02,966 --> 00:07:04,690
Spare our lives...
67
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:06,194
Spare us, Your Highness!
68
00:07:06,269 --> 00:07:09,025
If you could only spare us,
we will never do it again!
69
00:07:09,138 --> 00:07:11,948
Spare our lives, Your Highness!
70
00:07:14,486 --> 00:07:15,959
Your Highness.
71
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:28,304
Your Highness?
72
00:07:29,488 --> 00:07:31,457
You're here?
73
00:07:37,215 --> 00:07:40,468
You need not act like Mishil.
74
00:07:42,387 --> 00:07:47,556
Even without slaying people
or her quarrelsome frowning,
75
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:49,767
you will still look strong.
76
00:07:51,409 --> 00:07:53,875
I must have acted in haste.
77
00:07:54,295 --> 00:07:56,845
I made a much too impatient decision.
78
00:07:57,137 --> 00:08:02,639
Those people never witnessed
otherwise, so it was natural.
79
00:08:03,505 --> 00:08:07,573
Reclaiming barren land
and gaining ownership,
80
00:08:07,682 --> 00:08:10,753
along with the chance of passing
it down to their children.
81
00:08:11,497 --> 00:08:13,826
They still would not understand that.
82
00:08:14,819 --> 00:08:16,375
At least with me,
83
00:08:17,253 --> 00:08:20,017
you can be yourself.
84
00:08:21,897 --> 00:08:25,739
Only then my heart will throb.
85
00:08:30,630 --> 00:08:34,678
You will win over our people's
hearts as well, Your Highness.
86
00:08:36,970 --> 00:08:42,401
You will make their hearts throb,
and they will understand your vision.
87
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:46,209
Then, they will change.
88
00:08:50,635 --> 00:08:53,816
Then... who knows?
89
00:08:54,098 --> 00:08:56,155
I might change as well.
90
00:08:58,787 --> 00:09:00,900
I am grateful, Bidam.
91
00:09:17,191 --> 00:09:20,656
Suddenly, last night his lips shriveled,
92
00:09:20,775 --> 00:09:23,276
and he suffered from palpitation.
93
00:09:24,613 --> 00:09:28,834
That is nothing you
should be concerned about.
94
00:09:28,971 --> 00:09:30,878
It is all right.
95
00:09:32,028 --> 00:09:36,445
Be honest with me,
and tell me what you found.
96
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,100
Sire...
97
00:09:38,267 --> 00:09:40,541
Pardon my insolence,
98
00:09:40,665 --> 00:09:44,097
but the lack of harmony in your pulse...
99
00:09:44,211 --> 00:09:48,279
suggests the possibility
of a cardiac malady.
100
00:09:50,997 --> 00:09:54,041
But, as the symptoms
are still not severe,
101
00:09:54,146 --> 00:09:55,767
never you worry.
102
00:09:55,877 --> 00:10:01,053
I will serve you infusions with snake's beard,
raw rehmannia and other herbs.
103
00:10:09,003 --> 00:10:12,196
I asked to see you regarding
the Angang Fortress matter.
104
00:10:12,681 --> 00:10:13,617
Yes.
105
00:10:14,235 --> 00:10:18,459
No matter how occupied, I would
like you to supervise this firsthand,
106
00:10:18,774 --> 00:10:22,482
to choose all the Hwarang and
trainees who will be stationed there,
107
00:10:22,942 --> 00:10:27,440
and to allow me to send someone there
to occasionally observe the situation.
108
00:10:28,368 --> 00:10:29,687
Yes.
109
00:10:34,626 --> 00:10:36,635
Are you all right?
110
00:10:42,067 --> 00:10:43,370
Why would I not be?
111
00:10:43,475 --> 00:10:45,575
You must be.
112
00:10:46,502 --> 00:10:49,966
Providence seems to have blessed me.
113
00:10:52,497 --> 00:10:55,872
I have someone like you by my
side, to constantly impel me,
114
00:10:55,977 --> 00:10:58,813
someone always bringing me solace,
like Bidam Rang.
115
00:11:00,822 --> 00:11:03,880
Someone to protect me at all times,
like Alcheon Rang.
116
00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:07,343
Why would I ever let dread afflict me?
117
00:11:14,219 --> 00:11:15,166
Your Highness.
118
00:11:15,275 --> 00:11:17,952
May you swiftly head to Ingang Palace.
119
00:11:25,275 --> 00:11:26,833
Sire.
120
00:11:27,029 --> 00:11:29,322
How are you feeling now?
121
00:11:30,037 --> 00:11:32,654
Not as well as I would like to.
122
00:11:34,543 --> 00:11:36,237
Therefore...
123
00:11:37,841 --> 00:11:42,660
It would be wise to hasten
with Deokman's royal nuptials.
124
00:11:43,665 --> 00:11:45,013
Sire!
125
00:11:45,569 --> 00:11:50,922
We must hasten with her
conjugal ties, and elect an heir.
126
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:56,371
Do you mean electing a
royal son-in-law as your successor?
127
00:11:56,866 --> 00:12:00,483
As I could not gain a crown prince,
128
00:12:00,594 --> 00:12:05,756
am I not forced to proclaim the
princess's spouse as my successor?
129
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:13,958
Hence, you two shall look for
a suitable candidate.
130
00:12:14,123 --> 00:12:18,755
I shall deliberate on the matter
with all the courtiers in due time.
131
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:22,405
- Yes, Sire.
- Yes, Sire.
132
00:12:22,613 --> 00:12:25,026
Her Highness seeks audience.
133
00:12:29,584 --> 00:12:30,717
Sire.
134
00:12:30,829 --> 00:12:32,914
Is there any improvement?
135
00:12:35,459 --> 00:12:39,345
Lamentably, such is not the case.
136
00:12:40,965 --> 00:12:44,977
I will not be able to preside over
deliberation for the next few days.
137
00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:48,831
Deokman...
138
00:12:51,935 --> 00:12:55,518
I will have to hasten
with your royal nuptials.
139
00:12:58,472 --> 00:13:01,770
Should I not proclaim your
spouse as my successor,
140
00:13:01,935 --> 00:13:04,946
and accord stability to the throne?
141
00:13:05,098 --> 00:13:10,282
Yes... His Majesty is deeply concerned.
142
00:13:11,169 --> 00:13:14,655
Is there anyone
you would like to mention?
143
00:13:19,813 --> 00:13:22,521
Should His Majesty's
ailments further worsen,
144
00:13:23,001 --> 00:13:25,491
deliberation over
his successor will begin.
145
00:13:26,074 --> 00:13:27,468
Then,
146
00:13:27,831 --> 00:13:29,792
Her Highness... just as planned?!
147
00:13:29,938 --> 00:13:31,767
I suppose so.
148
00:13:32,711 --> 00:13:34,525
At last, it has started.
149
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:37,443
Would not Mishil make her move as well?
150
00:13:38,093 --> 00:13:42,290
Is Lord Chunchu still
frequenting Lord Misaeng?
151
00:13:43,549 --> 00:13:45,181
It indeed seems so.
152
00:13:45,273 --> 00:13:49,032
Fortunately, Bidam seems to
have gained control over him,
153
00:13:49,605 --> 00:13:52,269
but he is definitely still
frequenting Lord Misaeng.
154
00:14:11,636 --> 00:14:12,697
Seven!
155
00:14:13,016 --> 00:14:14,747
Again with that seven.
156
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:18,848
Try to bet on this, it will go well.
157
00:14:21,396 --> 00:14:23,056
The bottle, a woman's embrace,
158
00:14:23,181 --> 00:14:24,805
and, finally, gambling.
159
00:14:24,941 --> 00:14:26,893
What could they have in common?
160
00:14:27,191 --> 00:14:31,507
Are you not well abreast of all three?
161
00:14:35,846 --> 00:14:37,096
My gratitude...
162
00:14:37,221 --> 00:14:39,843
Their common trait must
be the ease with which...
163
00:14:39,968 --> 00:14:41,703
one can fall for their allure.
164
00:14:43,185 --> 00:14:45,005
Yes, that is correct.
165
00:14:45,613 --> 00:14:49,061
And once captured by their allure,
escaping is most arduous.
166
00:14:52,529 --> 00:14:53,819
Twelve!
167
00:14:54,940 --> 00:14:58,523
He is going well, Lord Chunchu.
168
00:14:58,703 --> 00:15:00,532
It is your night.
169
00:15:00,652 --> 00:15:06,496
Will you try something else which is
alluring but not so arduous to abandon?
170
00:15:07,606 --> 00:15:11,922
Would anything pleasant
offer you a swift escape?!
171
00:15:12,976 --> 00:15:15,167
One thing would.
172
00:15:17,608 --> 00:15:19,332
Conjugal ties.
173
00:15:21,401 --> 00:15:22,776
Conjugal... ties?!
174
00:15:22,866 --> 00:15:26,988
Marriage at first has the
allure of sweet honey.
175
00:15:27,408 --> 00:15:29,297
Its charms could never compare...
176
00:15:29,402 --> 00:15:31,920
with hollow gasconades in the
company of paltry slatterns.
177
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:35,987
And if you add
a child to the equation,
178
00:15:36,587 --> 00:15:39,630
then you will feel like
flying in the sky.
179
00:15:40,137 --> 00:15:41,309
But...
180
00:15:42,773 --> 00:15:44,718
Will escaping from these charms...
181
00:15:45,273 --> 00:15:46,257
prove easy?
182
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:47,611
Yes.
183
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:51,010
Spend a year or two that way...
184
00:15:51,329 --> 00:15:53,550
and suddenly, the charm is all lost.
185
00:15:54,269 --> 00:15:55,918
It is quite peculiar.
186
00:15:56,271 --> 00:16:02,035
So is that the reason you fell
for that allure over twenty times?
187
00:16:02,829 --> 00:16:05,331
Yes! I sure did.
188
00:16:05,425 --> 00:16:07,343
Indeed I did.
189
00:16:09,780 --> 00:16:11,204
So...
190
00:16:13,395 --> 00:16:16,558
Will you experience that allure yourself?
191
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:23,626
In four days,
192
00:16:23,858 --> 00:16:27,194
we shall open deliberation
on Deokman's nuptials.
193
00:16:27,572 --> 00:16:30,102
Arrange everything necessary.
194
00:16:30,342 --> 00:16:32,066
Yes, Sire.
195
00:16:32,351 --> 00:16:34,394
I shall announce to all nobility that...
196
00:16:34,529 --> 00:16:37,587
everyone will have a chance
to become my successor.
197
00:16:37,737 --> 00:16:41,319
Manifold nobles will be
notified of the opportunity...
198
00:16:41,454 --> 00:16:43,925
their sons will have
to become your successor.
199
00:16:44,119 --> 00:16:48,756
Then, even nobles on
Mishil's side will be swayed.
200
00:16:48,928 --> 00:16:50,580
Indeed.
201
00:16:52,064 --> 00:16:55,366
We shall alert everyone officially,
202
00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:59,429
so arrange a selection council
to choose candidates.
203
00:16:59,668 --> 00:17:01,692
Yes. Sire.
204
00:17:07,432 --> 00:17:09,441
Your Highness...
205
00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:12,217
What is it?
206
00:17:12,589 --> 00:17:15,889
It is something you must do.
207
00:17:16,803 --> 00:17:20,971
Is there anyone you are interested in?
208
00:17:29,143 --> 00:17:32,079
Is anything the matter?
209
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:33,873
Ahh... yes...
210
00:17:34,128 --> 00:17:36,271
My hands are trembling.
211
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,799
Your hands?!
212
00:17:44,228 --> 00:17:45,854
Does it happen frequently?
213
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,193
No.
214
00:17:51,416 --> 00:17:53,183
No?!
215
00:17:54,305 --> 00:17:56,136
I told you it doesn't.
216
00:17:57,727 --> 00:17:59,447
They are trembling now.
217
00:17:59,567 --> 00:18:01,725
Have you shown this to the physician?
218
00:18:01,845 --> 00:18:04,540
Did you hold the sword for too long?
219
00:18:04,653 --> 00:18:06,914
You should have let Yushin
or Alcheon Rang do that,
220
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:08,847
why do it yourself...
221
00:18:13,854 --> 00:18:16,724
Why are you smiling?
222
00:18:17,413 --> 00:18:20,065
You finally act like the Bidam I know.
223
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,793
I...
224
00:18:27,746 --> 00:18:31,434
I have heard of the deliberation
regarding your nuptials.
225
00:18:34,027 --> 00:18:35,553
Yes.
226
00:18:35,667 --> 00:18:38,066
By now, it must have begun.
227
00:18:38,981 --> 00:18:41,484
Tension will fill the air once again.
228
00:18:42,608 --> 00:18:47,333
You will continue as planned, right?
229
00:18:47,797 --> 00:18:49,330
Of course.
230
00:18:49,716 --> 00:18:52,837
There will be no nuptials.
231
00:18:52,945 --> 00:18:54,273
And...
232
00:18:54,783 --> 00:18:56,879
it is only the beginning.
233
00:19:06,269 --> 00:19:08,713
So, your hands...
234
00:19:09,185 --> 00:19:10,857
I'm fine.
235
00:19:11,067 --> 00:19:13,180
Do not let things get worse.
236
00:19:13,390 --> 00:19:19,443
Know how much Yushin and
Alcheon Rang are worried?
237
00:19:19,772 --> 00:19:21,791
I said I'm fine.
238
00:19:23,055 --> 00:19:26,786
I had the chance to gain
some experience on the matter,
239
00:19:26,861 --> 00:19:29,304
may I try with some acupuncture?
240
00:19:29,409 --> 00:19:31,463
I am all right!
241
00:19:35,518 --> 00:19:39,262
In four days, His Majesty will
preside over a royal council meeting.
242
00:19:39,386 --> 00:19:42,793
The subject will undoubtedly
be the royal nuptials.
243
00:19:42,911 --> 00:19:44,565
They might call it a deliberation,
244
00:19:44,666 --> 00:19:48,414
but would they not follow
Her Highness's wishes?
245
00:19:48,594 --> 00:19:51,502
Yes, Yushin Rang already married,
246
00:19:51,622 --> 00:19:55,312
so would not Alcheon Rang
be the most likely candidate?
247
00:19:55,477 --> 00:19:57,276
There is a possibility.
248
00:19:57,486 --> 00:19:59,829
Alcheon Rang comes from a
provincial clan of little relevance,
249
00:19:59,955 --> 00:20:01,684
so should he even become successor,
250
00:20:01,788 --> 00:20:03,535
he would not pose any threat to us.
251
00:20:04,253 --> 00:20:06,819
I already took care of that.
252
00:20:07,041 --> 00:20:08,107
Yes.
253
00:20:08,525 --> 00:20:12,145
Alcheon Rang's father, Lord Hyugon,
has a predilection for the arts,
254
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:15,578
so find a suitable work, and meet him.
255
00:20:15,754 --> 00:20:17,283
Yes... I will.
256
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:19,250
I will arrange it right away.
257
00:20:19,358 --> 00:20:23,080
Keep your eyes on Yushin
and Chunchu as well.
258
00:20:23,224 --> 00:20:24,954
- Yes.
- Yes...
259
00:20:37,082 --> 00:20:38,641
Your Highness.
260
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,699
Yes?
261
00:20:43,111 --> 00:20:44,784
Is there anything
you wish to tell me?
262
00:20:44,882 --> 00:20:46,769
It's about Bidam.
263
00:20:47,128 --> 00:20:50,531
Seems like his relationship with
Princess Deokman is quite intimate.
264
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:53,621
What are you talking about?
265
00:20:53,950 --> 00:20:58,199
Would Bidam have any chance
of becoming her spouse?
266
00:20:58,316 --> 00:21:00,912
- Lord Seolwon!
- Your Highness!
267
00:21:01,089 --> 00:21:03,034
Is he not your son?
268
00:21:03,159 --> 00:21:05,755
And in truth, he's of true bone.
269
00:21:07,267 --> 00:21:09,923
We must be open to all possibilities.
270
00:21:10,028 --> 00:21:13,859
- To whatever will benefit...
- He is but an abandoned son.
271
00:21:16,738 --> 00:21:18,507
Using him only now...
272
00:21:20,096 --> 00:21:22,075
I shall not.
273
00:21:38,661 --> 00:21:40,651
How have you been?
274
00:21:43,565 --> 00:21:44,554
Have a seat.
275
00:21:44,842 --> 00:21:46,113
So...
276
00:21:48,682 --> 00:21:50,383
How have you been?
277
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,089
I hear you were
suffering from ailments,
278
00:21:52,164 --> 00:21:53,506
is anything the matter?
279
00:21:53,610 --> 00:21:55,327
Is anything wrong?
280
00:21:55,687 --> 00:21:57,979
Actually...
281
00:21:55,837 --> 00:21:59,449
{\a6}~ Yeongmo ~
(Hajong's daughter, Yushin's wife)
282
00:21:58,130 --> 00:22:00,229
I am parturient.
283
00:22:03,659 --> 00:22:05,848
Ahh... Is that so?
284
00:22:06,702 --> 00:22:08,711
You will give birth to a child?!
285
00:22:08,918 --> 00:22:12,564
Then...
I will become a grandfather?!
286
00:22:13,412 --> 00:22:16,380
Is there any greater joy in life?
287
00:22:18,197 --> 00:22:21,163
Providence is blessing me repeatedly!
288
00:22:22,146 --> 00:22:23,475
Blessing you repeatedly?!
289
00:22:23,595 --> 00:22:27,283
Ahh... In addition to
your post as Pungwolju,
290
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:29,779
you have also been assigned to
the Board of Military Affairs.
291
00:22:31,885 --> 00:22:33,616
Have faith in me.
292
00:22:33,796 --> 00:22:36,418
Let us enjoy
an even greater harmony.
293
00:22:36,514 --> 00:22:37,790
Uh?!
294
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,881
Parturient?!
295
00:22:41,991 --> 00:22:44,407
Aigoo... My Yeongmo...
296
00:22:48,306 --> 00:22:51,443
Don't let your simper
reach those ears!
297
00:22:54,606 --> 00:22:56,271
What happened?
298
00:22:56,406 --> 00:22:59,411
You needn't worry about Yushin.
299
00:23:01,008 --> 00:23:03,776
Yeongmo is parturient!
300
00:23:05,495 --> 00:23:06,994
Really?
301
00:23:07,699 --> 00:23:12,616
He is much more "adept"
than I could ever imagine.
302
00:23:15,507 --> 00:23:18,065
Then, Yushin shall no longer
pose any problems.
303
00:23:19,009 --> 00:23:20,779
How about Lord Chunchu?
304
00:23:20,886 --> 00:23:23,282
He is constantly
spending time with Boryang.
305
00:23:23,462 --> 00:23:26,733
I am sure he will join our clan.
306
00:23:26,845 --> 00:23:31,076
But... almost as if he was
trying to avoid His Majesty's ire,
307
00:23:31,198 --> 00:23:34,065
he keeps ignoring any
mention of conjugal ties.
308
00:23:35,025 --> 00:23:38,218
I will continue pressing him,
so never you worry.
309
00:23:38,458 --> 00:23:39,642
Yes.
310
00:23:41,156 --> 00:23:42,850
How is the situation with the nobles?
311
00:23:42,955 --> 00:23:47,230
I sent communication to all courtiers.
312
00:23:47,404 --> 00:23:51,757
Yes, we notified even
all nobles from the provinces.
313
00:23:53,946 --> 00:23:55,359
Fine.
314
00:23:55,484 --> 00:23:59,167
In the morrow, His Majesty will
start deliberation on his successor.
315
00:23:59,290 --> 00:24:01,369
But, whomever will be
proclaimed as successor,
316
00:24:01,489 --> 00:24:03,835
it is all in our hands.
317
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:06,904
Yushin Rang, Lord Chunchu,
Alcheon Rang,
318
00:24:07,014 --> 00:24:11,799
not to mention all the nobles
we will enjoy control over...
319
00:24:13,028 --> 00:24:18,136
Whomever it is, we can always
manipulate such posts as we please.
320
00:24:18,232 --> 00:24:19,679
Yes!
321
00:24:22,009 --> 00:24:23,910
Tomorrow is the day.
322
00:24:24,017 --> 00:24:25,656
By the morrow,
323
00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:29,239
the royal family will finally
find the successor...
324
00:24:30,498 --> 00:24:32,821
it was so fervently yearning for.
325
00:24:43,993 --> 00:24:46,497
As you are well aware,
326
00:24:46,872 --> 00:24:51,115
there is no male of sacred bone
to inherit my throne.
327
00:24:52,674 --> 00:24:56,279
Hence, I plan to proceed with
Princess Deokman's nuptials,
328
00:24:57,178 --> 00:25:00,356
proclaim her spouse as my successor,
329
00:25:00,491 --> 00:25:03,562
and stabilize the future of our throne.
330
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:12,068
May Your Excellencies
suggest a suitable candidate.
331
00:25:12,594 --> 00:25:13,630
Sire!
332
00:25:13,766 --> 00:25:16,106
If you allow parlance
to your humble servant,
333
00:25:16,281 --> 00:25:20,603
{\a6}*1st-ranked Shilla courtier
334
00:25:16,281 --> 00:25:20,603
how would you feel about the son
of our Yibeolchan*, Jeong Gwangni?
335
00:25:22,447 --> 00:25:23,534
Sire.
336
00:25:23,781 --> 00:25:25,973
{\a6}*4th-ranked Shilla courtier in
charge of maritime affairs
337
00:25:23,781 --> 00:25:25,973
I recommend the son of
our Pajinchan*, Baek Ryong,
338
00:25:26,033 --> 00:25:29,634
the current Inspector
of Taxation, Jemun.
339
00:25:32,812 --> 00:25:34,313
Sire.
340
00:25:34,891 --> 00:25:37,236
You will pardon my insolence,
341
00:25:37,482 --> 00:25:39,635
but would not the most
important factor to consider...
342
00:25:39,770 --> 00:25:43,263
be Her Highness
Princess Deokman's wishes?
343
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,384
Her Highness graces you
with her presence.
344
00:26:19,206 --> 00:26:20,481
Your Highness.
345
00:26:20,616 --> 00:26:23,689
We were just deliberating
upon your nuptials.
346
00:26:25,905 --> 00:26:31,321
I clamored to His Majesty
that the most important factor...
347
00:26:31,486 --> 00:26:35,054
in deciding a suitable
candidate was your own wishes.
348
00:26:37,444 --> 00:26:41,273
Is there anyone
you already have in mind?
349
00:26:41,365 --> 00:26:42,765
I...
350
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:45,814
shall not marry anyone.
351
00:26:56,631 --> 00:26:58,166
Your Highness.
352
00:26:58,490 --> 00:27:00,874
His Majesty might still
enjoy a healthy fettle,
353
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:03,827
and there is nothing endangering
the stability of the throne,
354
00:27:04,397 --> 00:27:07,632
but proclaiming a successor has long
been a concern for the royal family,
355
00:27:07,737 --> 00:27:10,015
so we must swiftly make a decision.
356
00:27:10,165 --> 00:27:11,365
Yes.
357
00:27:11,645 --> 00:27:14,139
Only by proclaiming a successor
will the throne gain stability,
358
00:27:14,248 --> 00:27:17,336
according peace and
prosperity to our nation.
359
00:27:17,794 --> 00:27:21,826
Yes, I myself wish for those
long-standing concerns...
360
00:27:22,006 --> 00:27:28,044
to vanish as swiftly as possible.
361
00:27:31,207 --> 00:27:32,436
Hence...
362
00:27:33,305 --> 00:27:36,190
I shall hereby announce to
His Majesty and all courtiers...
363
00:27:36,909 --> 00:27:41,137
that I, Princess Deokman,
shall not marry,
364
00:27:47,826 --> 00:27:53,263
and will become the successor
and heir to our nation's throne.
365
00:28:08,866 --> 00:28:14,530
I wish the Council of Nobles
to deliberate on this matter.
366
00:28:40,013 --> 00:28:41,857
Is it true?
367
00:28:43,371 --> 00:28:48,445
Is it true that Her Highness Princess
Deokman clamored to become heir?
368
00:28:54,591 --> 00:28:56,242
Your Highness...
369
00:28:56,847 --> 00:28:59,045
Are you all right?
370
00:29:01,692 --> 00:29:03,372
Your Highness.
371
00:29:08,083 --> 00:29:09,702
Lord Seolwon.
372
00:29:11,078 --> 00:29:12,992
Forgive me.
373
00:29:15,668 --> 00:29:19,805
I would like to be
accorded some solitude.
374
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:26,593
Just a moment.
A moment is all I ask.
375
00:29:27,998 --> 00:29:30,091
I understand.
376
00:29:57,827 --> 00:29:59,209
Deokman.
377
00:30:00,196 --> 00:30:04,262
What she wanted could not be...
378
00:30:04,363 --> 00:30:05,844
Hope...
379
00:30:05,943 --> 00:30:09,869
can make you overcome
all that pain and fatigue.
380
00:30:10,003 --> 00:30:14,458
The dreams and hopes of our people
shall enrich this nation.
381
00:30:14,581 --> 00:30:17,594
I shall take all the people
who share my dreams and aspirations,
382
00:30:17,702 --> 00:30:21,552
and create a new Shilla.
383
00:30:21,758 --> 00:30:25,574
What she wanted was the throne?!
384
00:30:26,307 --> 00:30:28,901
From that moment... No.
385
00:30:29,122 --> 00:30:33,023
From the very beginning,
was she dreaming of gaining the throne?
386
00:30:33,501 --> 00:30:35,103
I now understand.
387
00:30:35,220 --> 00:30:39,014
That this was the reason
why Shilla showed no development...
388
00:30:39,143 --> 00:30:41,726
since King Jinheung's rule.
389
00:30:42,197 --> 00:30:44,058
Because Your Highness...
390
00:30:44,821 --> 00:30:47,342
is not our people's legitimate ruler.
391
00:30:47,676 --> 00:30:49,007
Ruler?!
392
00:30:49,142 --> 00:30:50,996
If you are not their legitimate ruler,
393
00:30:51,085 --> 00:30:54,880
how could you ever dream with them,
and for their future?
394
00:30:55,421 --> 00:30:56,662
Dream?!
395
00:30:57,874 --> 00:31:00,154
Because I'm not their ruler?!
396
00:31:02,770 --> 00:31:04,714
Is that the reason?
397
00:31:05,237 --> 00:31:07,307
For, from the very start,
I was not the one,
398
00:31:07,412 --> 00:31:10,148
I could not even dream?!
399
00:31:10,956 --> 00:31:12,720
This Mishil?!
400
00:31:23,615 --> 00:31:24,879
Father.
401
00:31:25,968 --> 00:31:27,591
You're back?
402
00:31:27,716 --> 00:31:29,338
What is all this about?
403
00:31:29,547 --> 00:31:31,416
A princess clamoring to become heir?
404
00:31:31,655 --> 00:31:33,491
I have heard so myself.
405
00:31:34,269 --> 00:31:37,186
- Is my mother still up there?
- Don't go.
406
00:31:37,312 --> 00:31:39,277
She wants to be left alone.
407
00:31:40,728 --> 00:31:43,200
Does this make any sense?
408
00:31:43,395 --> 00:31:45,187
A female successor?!
409
00:31:45,303 --> 00:31:46,908
Can it ever be possible?
410
00:31:47,013 --> 00:31:49,749
Whether it is or not
should not concern us.
411
00:31:50,168 --> 00:31:52,413
The most pressing issue now...
412
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:55,778
is the stupor it
instilled in your mother.
413
00:31:56,287 --> 00:31:58,106
It certainly must have dazed her.
414
00:31:58,229 --> 00:32:01,191
But, is this not
a preposterous proposal?
415
00:32:01,385 --> 00:32:07,095
No. Her Highness herself devoted
her life to gain that throne as queen.
416
00:32:07,679 --> 00:32:10,669
But, a female ruler?!
417
00:32:11,162 --> 00:32:14,413
Those are dreams she never
even began to imagine.
418
00:32:16,970 --> 00:32:21,366
All we can do is pray
she will overcome this.
419
00:32:33,166 --> 00:32:35,738
How could Deokman utter such words?
420
00:32:35,858 --> 00:32:37,532
It is unfeasible.
421
00:32:37,757 --> 00:32:39,833
Does it make any sense?
422
00:32:41,767 --> 00:32:44,169
Not long has passed since
her identity was revealed,
423
00:32:44,243 --> 00:32:46,426
and she was ackowledged as princess.
424
00:32:46,546 --> 00:32:48,717
How could she once again
cause such tumult?
425
00:32:48,777 --> 00:32:50,000
No.
426
00:32:50,515 --> 00:32:52,941
Deokman made a wise decision.
427
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,227
What?
428
00:32:54,825 --> 00:32:56,709
What are you implying, Sire?
429
00:32:56,873 --> 00:32:59,438
Shilla is dominated by the bone rank.
430
00:32:59,819 --> 00:33:04,656
The bone rank system is our
foundation and strongest pillar.
431
00:33:06,061 --> 00:33:08,842
Was there ever a king
not of sacred bone?
432
00:33:10,472 --> 00:33:12,633
If someone of sacred bone like
Deokman ascended to the throne,
433
00:33:12,722 --> 00:33:15,503
who would ever voice
grievances on the matter?
434
00:33:16,221 --> 00:33:17,627
Sire...
435
00:33:17,783 --> 00:33:18,972
But,
436
00:33:19,496 --> 00:33:21,768
Deokman is a woman.
437
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,238
A female ruler is
certainly unprecedented,
438
00:33:25,677 --> 00:33:28,273
but Deokman is of sacred bone.
439
00:33:29,305 --> 00:33:33,060
The wall created by the bone rank
system Mishil cannot tear down...
440
00:33:33,434 --> 00:33:36,804
still surrounds Deokman.
441
00:33:36,909 --> 00:33:38,114
But, Sire!
442
00:33:38,204 --> 00:33:41,418
Did you forget the reason an enfeebled
and clueless moppet like me...
443
00:33:41,935 --> 00:33:45,536
gained the throne
at such a young age?
444
00:33:47,236 --> 00:33:51,860
That is because
I was of sacred bone.
445
00:33:53,385 --> 00:33:57,951
Deokman is trying to once again
use it to her advantage.
446
00:33:59,643 --> 00:34:03,533
The strongest weapon at
her disposal to fight Mishil...
447
00:34:04,131 --> 00:34:07,361
is her sacred bone lineage.
448
00:34:17,906 --> 00:34:20,146
It was inevitable.
449
00:34:27,102 --> 00:34:31,558
Inevitable? What was?
450
00:34:32,485 --> 00:34:35,207
Your aspirations were
different from the start,
451
00:34:35,341 --> 00:34:37,808
so it was an inevitable conclusion.
452
00:34:39,034 --> 00:34:41,306
The scope of our aspirations
was different?!
453
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:43,347
Yes.
454
00:34:43,945 --> 00:34:50,584
How could Your Highness
even imagine that?
455
00:34:51,604 --> 00:34:54,963
Did you wait for me here
just to say that?
456
00:34:55,286 --> 00:34:56,593
However,
457
00:34:56,802 --> 00:35:00,932
my Princess Deokman,
even before she entered the palace,
458
00:35:01,043 --> 00:35:07,064
without a single thing to her name,
already clamored for the throne.
459
00:35:09,112 --> 00:35:11,340
"Your" Princess Deokman...
460
00:35:14,164 --> 00:35:15,453
Yes.
461
00:35:16,694 --> 00:35:19,102
For I chose her,
462
00:35:20,657 --> 00:35:21,463
she is my...
463
00:35:21,602 --> 00:35:24,000
Princess Deokman.
464
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,413
If you'll excuse me.
465
00:36:08,441 --> 00:36:12,642
Her Highness certainly has
a talent for the peculiar.
466
00:36:12,822 --> 00:36:15,063
I cannot even begin to understand.
467
00:36:15,156 --> 00:36:17,480
Why is she turning such a simple
matter that nuptials would solve...
468
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,939
into such complicated quandaries?
469
00:36:20,037 --> 00:36:21,697
A female successor?!
470
00:36:21,816 --> 00:36:24,205
There is no such precedent anywhere.
471
00:36:24,370 --> 00:36:26,576
Considering what happened
with the Observatory,
472
00:36:26,701 --> 00:36:28,556
Her Highness is truly displaying...
473
00:36:28,661 --> 00:36:29,887
quite the unique disposition.
474
00:36:29,947 --> 00:36:34,122
But it is indeed true that she is the
only remaining sacred bone descendant.
475
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,219
What are you talking about?
476
00:36:36,633 --> 00:36:38,916
A successor would eventually
inherit the throne,
477
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:40,751
is that even feasible?
478
00:36:40,881 --> 00:36:44,173
It might be because she never
experienced life amongst the royals,
479
00:36:45,105 --> 00:36:48,288
but she certainly engages
in befuddling parlance.
480
00:36:48,798 --> 00:36:51,579
She will be met by staunch opposition,
481
00:36:51,845 --> 00:36:53,807
what is she trying to accomplish?
482
00:36:53,942 --> 00:36:55,960
I just cannot come to terms with it.
483
00:36:56,094 --> 00:36:58,128
Let alone what happened
with the military supplies,
484
00:36:58,247 --> 00:37:01,315
why does she keep acting
in this manner?
485
00:37:03,841 --> 00:37:07,005
I told you it's true!
486
00:37:09,051 --> 00:37:10,729
What on earth
are you prattling about?
487
00:37:10,848 --> 00:37:13,746
The successor will inherit the throne.
488
00:37:13,913 --> 00:37:16,625
But, Princess Deokman
becoming successor?!
489
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,383
Ohh... I told you!
490
00:37:18,473 --> 00:37:19,657
Ehh... You dolt.
491
00:37:19,771 --> 00:37:21,589
Your ears must have failed you.
492
00:37:21,694 --> 00:37:24,983
Whomever marries Her Highness
will become Royal Son-in-law,
493
00:37:25,087 --> 00:37:27,330
and he will in turn become successor.
494
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,255
You must have heard that the wrong way.
495
00:37:29,350 --> 00:37:31,156
Right, that's it.
496
00:37:31,265 --> 00:37:33,936
Get a clue before
you prattle, will you?
497
00:37:34,025 --> 00:37:35,803
Right! Don't prance around
spreading such drivel.
498
00:37:35,901 --> 00:37:37,778
Ahh... I said that's not the case!
499
00:37:37,883 --> 00:37:39,308
The entire palace is in tumult
because of that!
500
00:37:39,408 --> 00:37:41,277
Tumult, my ass, you foolish dunce!
501
00:37:41,456 --> 00:37:44,118
How can you believe
such harebrained drivel?
502
00:37:44,267 --> 00:37:47,444
Make some sense, will you?
How can a woman become King?
503
00:37:47,594 --> 00:37:49,493
Right!
It's unfeasible!
504
00:37:49,598 --> 00:37:51,154
Makes no sense, you fool.
505
00:37:51,283 --> 00:37:53,603
You almost had me for a while...
506
00:37:53,703 --> 00:37:55,993
Move, you fool! Move.
507
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,329
Is that it?!
508
00:38:10,016 --> 00:38:12,302
Was I mistaken?
509
00:38:43,976 --> 00:38:47,630
It lists the family connections
of all new trainees.
510
00:38:48,268 --> 00:38:49,644
Have you observed Bidam's movements?
511
00:38:49,734 --> 00:38:53,819
Yes. He has shown no particular
movements as Hwarang.
512
00:38:53,933 --> 00:38:56,847
And he does not seem to tutor
his trainees that extensively.
513
00:38:57,902 --> 00:38:59,462
And that Wolya?
514
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:02,054
Yes, he is the son of
Manno County's chieftain.
515
00:39:02,162 --> 00:39:03,641
It looks like he was
brought in by Lord Seohyeon,
516
00:39:03,686 --> 00:39:05,701
to be entrusted command
of the Dragon Flower Guild.
517
00:39:05,825 --> 00:39:07,416
Continue observing him.
518
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:10,254
Should anything stand out,
you must report immediately.
519
00:39:10,433 --> 00:39:11,598
Yes.
520
00:39:13,588 --> 00:39:15,225
But...
521
00:39:16,507 --> 00:39:18,421
Have you heard?
522
00:39:20,066 --> 00:39:22,996
- Her Highness clamored for...
- I've heard.
523
00:39:23,998 --> 00:39:26,513
How did the Hwarang react?
524
00:39:26,705 --> 00:39:29,710
They all consider it unthinkable.
525
00:39:33,067 --> 00:39:35,302
A ruler who has no time for his people...
526
00:39:35,377 --> 00:39:38,439
has no right to sit on the throne.
527
00:40:13,366 --> 00:40:15,589
How is this tint?
528
00:40:19,405 --> 00:40:20,975
Yes...
529
00:40:21,678 --> 00:40:23,876
I like it.
530
00:40:37,991 --> 00:40:39,223
Did...
531
00:40:40,299 --> 00:40:42,035
Did you hear?
532
00:40:42,647 --> 00:40:44,291
Is it true?
533
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,958
Are all the Hwarang aware of this?
534
00:40:50,551 --> 00:40:52,200
How did they react?
535
00:40:53,262 --> 00:40:55,421
Are you telling me it's the truth?
536
00:40:57,299 --> 00:40:58,805
It is.
537
00:40:59,114 --> 00:41:02,523
Her Highness clamored
she will become King.
538
00:41:04,108 --> 00:41:06,679
Does it make any sense?
539
00:41:07,801 --> 00:41:10,286
What is the matter?
540
00:41:11,572 --> 00:41:13,486
It's... nothing.
541
00:41:34,050 --> 00:41:35,650
How did it go?
542
00:41:35,814 --> 00:41:38,600
Most of the people in
Angang Fortress started working.
543
00:41:38,775 --> 00:41:40,298
There were no deserters.
544
00:41:40,504 --> 00:41:42,806
By gibbeting their leader,
I brought them dread,
545
00:41:42,956 --> 00:41:45,139
so it is now time I show them hope.
546
00:41:45,289 --> 00:41:48,455
Support anyone who agrees
to work without reserve.
547
00:41:48,561 --> 00:41:50,822
Yes, I ordered as such.
548
00:41:50,987 --> 00:41:52,835
Angang Fortress is only the start.
549
00:41:52,963 --> 00:41:56,698
Should our efforts succeed there,
more tentatives will follow.
550
00:41:58,315 --> 00:41:59,908
Your Highness.
551
00:42:04,017 --> 00:42:06,053
The entire palace is in tumult.
552
00:42:06,158 --> 00:42:07,770
Did you know?
553
00:42:08,264 --> 00:42:10,931
Were they confounded by all this?
554
00:42:11,809 --> 00:42:13,772
Was it not an unprecedented utterance?
555
00:42:13,895 --> 00:42:16,562
Who could even dare to imagine that?
556
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,312
Will it be arduous
for people to accept this?
557
00:42:21,739 --> 00:42:24,266
Considering it's the very first time...
558
00:42:24,849 --> 00:42:28,572
We will need to grant them time.
559
00:42:34,382 --> 00:42:38,406
Would Chunchu have heard it as well?
560
00:42:38,512 --> 00:42:41,745
Talebearing is spreading everywhere,
he surely must have.
561
00:42:44,410 --> 00:42:47,250
I will meet with Lord Chunchu, later.
562
00:42:47,608 --> 00:42:49,578
In case he did not hear,
I will tell him,
563
00:42:49,672 --> 00:42:51,451
and ask his views on the matter.
564
00:42:53,407 --> 00:42:56,757
I heard that Your Highness,
just like me,
565
00:42:56,891 --> 00:42:59,448
came to Seorabeol from afar.
566
00:43:00,714 --> 00:43:03,115
What feelings led you here?
567
00:43:04,038 --> 00:43:05,372
And...
568
00:43:07,316 --> 00:43:12,838
what intents could have
led myself here?!
569
00:43:19,671 --> 00:43:21,522
Did I not tell you?
570
00:43:21,671 --> 00:43:23,456
That I chose her as our ruler.
571
00:43:23,565 --> 00:43:26,321
I just thought it was spoken
in allegorical terms.
572
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,198
Did it not suggest you would
join her in conjugal ties,
573
00:43:30,452 --> 00:43:32,261
and become the Royal Son-in-law?
574
00:43:32,603 --> 00:43:34,485
It meant exactly what I said.
575
00:43:34,853 --> 00:43:36,284
I shall make her our ruler.
576
00:43:36,389 --> 00:43:39,279
How could there be a female ruler?!
577
00:43:39,418 --> 00:43:41,353
That does not matter!
578
00:43:43,181 --> 00:43:45,364
Be it a woman,
or someone of true bone,
579
00:43:45,994 --> 00:43:49,463
was not making a Gaya descendant
King our foremost goal?
580
00:43:49,643 --> 00:43:51,362
You must have misunderstood me.
581
00:43:51,781 --> 00:43:54,113
Our goal was to serve a
king who would acknowledge...
582
00:43:54,247 --> 00:43:57,045
Gaya descendants as
this country's own people.
583
00:43:57,157 --> 00:44:00,102
And how can you be sure
Deokman will do so?
584
00:44:00,216 --> 00:44:05,751
We joined forces with you,
not Princess Deokman!
585
00:44:05,841 --> 00:44:10,524
Her Highness will treat Gaya descendants
like her own flesh and blood.
586
00:44:10,646 --> 00:44:13,569
I am sure she will,
for the time being.
587
00:44:14,592 --> 00:44:18,868
But every Shilla ruler has always
shown how fickle their sincerity can be.
588
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:23,857
They will use our Gaya people,
oppress them when they need to,
589
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,460
coercing them enough
to avoid any uprising.
590
00:44:29,045 --> 00:44:31,363
Will it be any different,
if Princess Deokman rules us?
591
00:44:31,489 --> 00:44:33,781
- Wolya!
- Hence!
592
00:44:34,542 --> 00:44:38,235
Only a king of Gaya ancestry
can solve this quandary.
593
00:44:39,087 --> 00:44:42,210
"Princess Deokman is
by no means like them."
594
00:44:43,563 --> 00:44:45,091
Spare me that parlance.
595
00:44:45,218 --> 00:44:46,935
He's right.
596
00:44:47,393 --> 00:44:49,491
How can you stake the lives
of all our people...
597
00:44:49,581 --> 00:44:51,990
by trusting the whims
of a single person?
598
00:44:52,111 --> 00:44:55,743
It is not a single person,
but Kim Yushin I am asking you to trust!
599
00:44:58,267 --> 00:45:01,140
Princess Deokman
will herald a new Shilla,
600
00:45:01,395 --> 00:45:05,420
and you will become the founding
subjects of her grandiose achievement.
601
00:45:05,950 --> 00:45:07,387
Yushin!
602
00:45:07,495 --> 00:45:09,695
Should that fail to happen,
603
00:45:09,809 --> 00:45:12,003
I shall be the first to rise in revolt!
604
00:45:15,193 --> 00:45:17,850
Gaya's power concerns you and me,
605
00:45:18,298 --> 00:45:20,855
it has nothing to do
with Princess Deokman.
606
00:45:32,500 --> 00:45:34,612
How do you plan to proceed?
607
00:45:34,969 --> 00:45:37,659
All we can do now is trusting Yushin.
608
00:45:37,765 --> 00:45:39,230
Wolya Rang!
609
00:45:40,620 --> 00:45:41,830
Send one of our men to Amnyangju,
610
00:45:41,905 --> 00:45:43,848
and reinforce unity amongst our ranks.
611
00:45:46,345 --> 00:45:48,932
In due time,
they will leave Amnyangju,
612
00:45:49,287 --> 00:45:51,369
and prepare for any offensive.
613
00:45:52,211 --> 00:45:53,562
However,
614
00:45:53,951 --> 00:45:59,991
before things go astray,
we will trust him.
615
00:46:02,347 --> 00:46:03,782
Yes.
616
00:46:04,721 --> 00:46:07,820
Her Highness proclaimed her
intention of becoming successor,
617
00:46:08,059 --> 00:46:11,124
so I wonder how the
Council of Nobles will react.
618
00:46:11,438 --> 00:46:13,349
There will be staunch opposition,
619
00:46:13,563 --> 00:46:16,327
but they will have no solid
alternative to bring forth.
620
00:46:16,650 --> 00:46:19,033
After becoming Princess,
621
00:46:19,153 --> 00:46:22,870
Deokman's skills in administering
state affairs were blemishless.
622
00:46:23,453 --> 00:46:25,920
And, before considering
her as a woman,
623
00:46:26,285 --> 00:46:29,300
we must continue emphasizing
her sacred bone lineage.
624
00:46:30,786 --> 00:46:32,127
Bear this in mind.
625
00:46:32,220 --> 00:46:34,255
Yes, Sire.
626
00:46:37,365 --> 00:46:40,296
They are not willing
to openly refute.
627
00:46:40,505 --> 00:46:42,764
Shilla's very foundation
is the bone rank,
628
00:46:42,868 --> 00:46:45,183
so they must be exercising prudence.
629
00:46:46,030 --> 00:46:48,243
Yes, more than disapproving voices,
630
00:46:48,371 --> 00:46:51,567
most people are just
befuddled by this whole ordeal.
631
00:46:52,090 --> 00:46:56,045
Her Highness did indeed cause a stir.
632
00:46:56,204 --> 00:46:58,730
The Hwarang are not openly
mentioning the matter,
633
00:46:58,925 --> 00:47:00,769
but they refuse to
accept this themselves.
634
00:47:00,881 --> 00:47:03,581
Only because of her
sacred bone ancestry,
635
00:47:03,701 --> 00:47:06,987
clamoring to become successor,
and aspiring for the throne?!
636
00:47:07,197 --> 00:47:10,098
How can a woman become successor?
637
00:47:10,211 --> 00:47:11,802
No matter if she is of sacred bone,
638
00:47:11,936 --> 00:47:14,288
there is no precedent in
either Goguryeo or Baekje.
639
00:47:14,408 --> 00:47:15,873
Is that not right, Mother?
640
00:47:17,854 --> 00:47:20,227
Wh...Why are you smiling?
641
00:47:21,914 --> 00:47:26,150
There was no Shilla king who did not
use his lineage to gain the throne.
642
00:47:26,540 --> 00:47:28,617
Royal lineage does
indeed imply blood lineage,
643
00:47:28,721 --> 00:47:31,069
there is no exception to the rule.
644
00:47:31,592 --> 00:47:36,119
And that is certainly a
most vexatious ordeal for me.
645
00:47:43,532 --> 00:47:46,898
The Council of Nobles
shall not easily accept this.
646
00:47:47,033 --> 00:47:50,023
It might become a very
prolonged and tiresome meeting.
647
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:56,173
But nobody would ever contest
the legitimacy of our bone rank.
648
00:47:56,472 --> 00:47:59,829
Hence, any deliberation will be fruitless.
649
00:47:59,955 --> 00:48:06,314
Yes, my proclamation shall not
be ratified by the morrow.
650
00:48:06,373 --> 00:48:07,330
Yet...
651
00:48:09,304 --> 00:48:13,491
From the morrow, countless
people in our country will...
652
00:48:13,906 --> 00:48:16,590
confabulate on a concept they...
653
00:48:16,859 --> 00:48:21,121
have never heard before.
654
00:48:21,973 --> 00:48:23,573
A new concept?!
655
00:48:23,767 --> 00:48:26,303
The word nobody has ever uttered,
656
00:48:26,976 --> 00:48:29,742
the word which has
never graced any book.
657
00:48:30,179 --> 00:48:32,598
The unprecedented occurrence...
658
00:48:33,484 --> 00:48:35,083
of a new concept.
659
00:48:41,273 --> 00:48:43,306
Female ruler.
660
00:48:45,379 --> 00:48:47,816
A new concept like
that of a female ruler.
661
00:48:48,317 --> 00:48:52,317
Spreading this concept
is our first step.
662
00:48:56,428 --> 00:48:57,775
What?
663
00:48:58,911 --> 00:49:02,514
The person you are going
to help to the throne...
664
00:49:02,709 --> 00:49:04,055
is who?
665
00:49:04,428 --> 00:49:05,945
Princess Deokman.
666
00:49:06,058 --> 00:49:07,429
She is a woman!
667
00:49:07,643 --> 00:49:08,466
A woman...
668
00:49:08,570 --> 00:49:11,112
That is why I said
it would be difficult.
669
00:49:11,337 --> 00:49:14,387
But I am going to do it.
670
00:49:14,541 --> 00:49:17,436
Female ruler... Female ruler?!
671
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,011
Surprised?
672
00:49:20,223 --> 00:49:21,590
Then again,
673
00:49:21,778 --> 00:49:24,648
no female ruler has ever graced
the annals of any history.
674
00:49:24,813 --> 00:49:26,907
No, no, no...
675
00:49:27,036 --> 00:49:29,688
It is not completely unfeasible.
676
00:49:30,167 --> 00:49:32,573
And there was a female ruler.
677
00:49:33,904 --> 00:49:34,659
Really?
678
00:49:34,726 --> 00:49:36,521
In the far Western Regions,
679
00:49:36,589 --> 00:49:38,815
there was this country
known as Yeoheon*,
680
00:49:37,336 --> 00:49:40,570
{\a6}*Egypt
681
00:49:38,928 --> 00:49:41,539
and I have heard of
a female ruling that land.
682
00:49:41,744 --> 00:49:43,551
I see...
683
00:49:43,666 --> 00:49:45,275
There was one.
684
00:49:45,462 --> 00:49:47,719
It is not unprecedented.
685
00:49:48,314 --> 00:49:52,154
But I hear you are
tutoring Lord Chunchu?
686
00:49:52,621 --> 00:49:54,684
What are you scheming?
687
00:49:55,245 --> 00:49:58,778
If you truly plan to help
Princess Deokman to the throne,
688
00:49:59,230 --> 00:50:01,839
Lord Chunchu will be a
valiant foe hampering her path.
689
00:50:01,950 --> 00:50:03,553
Whether he wishes for it or not.
690
00:50:03,649 --> 00:50:07,825
I will have to make him
join Her Highness's cause.
691
00:50:10,249 --> 00:50:11,996
I'll get going.
692
00:50:15,389 --> 00:50:16,615
Right...
693
00:50:16,733 --> 00:50:20,700
When this female ruler from
the Western Regions was in power,
694
00:50:21,027 --> 00:50:24,171
did her country flourish?
695
00:50:24,311 --> 00:50:27,097
Everything but.
She caused its failure, on the contrary.
696
00:50:27,231 --> 00:50:29,838
They crumbled under the
Romans' might and ended in misery.
697
00:50:30,196 --> 00:50:32,111
You... sh...
698
00:50:35,442 --> 00:50:37,436
Aigoo...
699
00:51:01,241 --> 00:51:03,874
- So Bidam came to see you?
- Yes.
700
00:51:05,944 --> 00:51:08,494
Tell me, what did he have to say?
701
00:51:08,635 --> 00:51:10,838
You will pardon my utterances,
702
00:51:10,959 --> 00:51:14,872
but he clamored he would make you
join Princess Deokman's cause.
703
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,383
What do you think of him?
704
00:51:22,774 --> 00:51:24,694
He is a peculiar specimen,
705
00:51:25,110 --> 00:51:26,993
not to mention a daunting one.
706
00:51:27,713 --> 00:51:32,919
I wish to make him
join my cause, instead.
707
00:51:33,069 --> 00:51:37,480
However, he will not be easily swayed.
708
00:51:37,797 --> 00:51:38,974
Hence,
709
00:51:39,624 --> 00:51:42,727
should he refuse to join my side,
710
00:51:44,754 --> 00:51:48,760
he must be slain at all cost.
711
00:51:58,107 --> 00:52:01,123
Did he mention anything
regarding Princess Deokman?
712
00:52:04,327 --> 00:52:07,497
Why would he not?!
713
00:52:22,574 --> 00:52:23,507
You.
714
00:52:23,757 --> 00:52:25,000
Listen.
715
00:52:26,718 --> 00:52:28,319
Were you aware of that as well?
716
00:52:29,422 --> 00:52:30,534
Of what?
717
00:52:33,421 --> 00:52:36,899
Her Highness wanting
to become successor.
718
00:52:41,623 --> 00:52:42,763
Yes.
719
00:52:44,045 --> 00:52:45,892
Does it make any sense?
720
00:52:49,992 --> 00:52:52,133
It certainly will not be easy.
721
00:52:53,669 --> 00:52:55,832
It's unprecedented, after all.
722
00:52:57,210 --> 00:53:01,996
History is made of
unprecedented occurrences.
723
00:53:04,344 --> 00:53:08,160
Never before was there
a king not of sacred bone,
724
00:53:08,981 --> 00:53:11,522
or a ruler who was not a male.
725
00:53:12,051 --> 00:53:17,678
But, in no time,
one of the two might indeed happen.
726
00:53:19,301 --> 00:53:22,232
One of the two?!
727
00:53:24,994 --> 00:53:27,526
It will be quite the sight!
728
00:53:28,945 --> 00:53:31,615
What will grace us first?
729
00:53:32,519 --> 00:53:34,090
A female ruler,
730
00:53:34,712 --> 00:53:36,513
or, well...
731
00:53:39,236 --> 00:53:41,322
A ruler of true bone?
732
00:53:55,824 --> 00:53:58,145
Is Bojong out there?
733
00:54:01,172 --> 00:54:02,744
Yes, Mother.
734
00:54:03,662 --> 00:54:05,262
I will have to seek
audience with Chunchu.
735
00:54:05,367 --> 00:54:06,868
Arrange for my departure.
736
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:09,474
Yes, I will.
737
00:54:11,482 --> 00:54:13,361
- Sister...
- I must hasten somewhere.
738
00:54:13,486 --> 00:54:15,451
We shall confer when I return.
739
00:54:15,591 --> 00:54:18,234
Chunchu is here.
740
00:54:18,436 --> 00:54:21,782
He is seeking audience with you?!
741
00:54:53,933 --> 00:54:55,614
What brings you here,
742
00:54:55,848 --> 00:54:58,649
at this belated juncture?
743
00:55:24,506 --> 00:55:25,931
Sister...
744
00:55:26,909 --> 00:55:29,044
We will do this together, right?
745
00:55:29,620 --> 00:55:31,670
Right?
746
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:50,777
Sister.
747
00:55:50,886 --> 00:55:52,750
What did Lord Chunchu say?
748
00:55:52,968 --> 00:55:55,442
What did you confabulate about?
749
00:55:58,431 --> 00:55:59,460
Sister...
750
00:55:59,564 --> 00:56:01,730
Go ahead and tell me.
751
00:56:02,462 --> 00:56:04,754
I will have to meet with Lord Sejong.
752
00:56:04,850 --> 00:56:06,923
What? Right now?
753
00:56:07,172 --> 00:56:09,756
It is too late.
Defer it to the morrow, Sister.
754
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,620
No. I must meet him now.
755
00:56:12,744 --> 00:56:16,737
Sejong Hyungnim must be
already enjoying his repose?!
756
00:56:16,923 --> 00:56:19,657
Then, awakening him
is all you will need to do!
757
00:56:19,778 --> 00:56:21,621
Y...Yes, certainly.
758
00:56:21,730 --> 00:56:24,426
I shall arrange it immediately.
759
00:56:24,623 --> 00:56:26,253
On this very night...
760
00:56:26,376 --> 00:56:30,568
many things will be decided
upon, and forever change.
761
00:57:11,607 --> 00:57:14,829
In the nearly seven-century
long legacy of our nation,
762
00:57:14,969 --> 00:57:17,926
there never was any precedent of
a woman being proclaimed successor.
763
00:57:18,050 --> 00:57:20,166
That is exactly what I'm saying.
764
00:57:20,332 --> 00:57:21,857
Not only Goguryeo and Baekje,
765
00:57:21,997 --> 00:57:24,114
but even amongst the countless
states of the Middle Kingdom,
766
00:57:24,238 --> 00:57:25,982
there is no such precedent.
767
00:57:26,168 --> 00:57:27,144
Yes...
768
00:57:27,269 --> 00:57:31,532
How could anyone under the
heavens accept such notion?
769
00:57:31,781 --> 00:57:34,203
A woman becoming successor?!
770
00:57:34,411 --> 00:57:35,765
Then...
771
00:57:37,399 --> 00:57:41,834
Would they accept a successor
of true bone, instead?
772
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:49,445
It has been long since males of sacred
bone have disappeared from our lineage.
773
00:57:49,557 --> 00:57:53,248
Yes. Princess Deokman
might indeed be a woman,
774
00:57:53,388 --> 00:57:54,866
but not only is she of sacred bone,
775
00:57:54,975 --> 00:57:58,244
but also Gaeyang's keeper,
in accordance with our founding prophecies.
776
00:57:58,384 --> 00:58:00,563
Well... That... is true, but...
777
00:58:00,703 --> 00:58:01,466
Yes.
778
00:58:01,575 --> 00:58:03,256
She is indeed of sacred bone.
779
00:58:03,442 --> 00:58:04,952
Sacred.
780
00:58:05,064 --> 00:58:06,966
Of sacred bone she might be...
781
00:58:07,077 --> 00:58:09,481
Her Highness Lady Mishil
graces you all.
782
00:58:26,073 --> 00:58:29,264
Important matters caused
my belated arrival.
783
00:58:29,451 --> 00:58:31,132
May you forgive me.
784
00:58:31,519 --> 00:58:33,686
Important matters?!
785
00:58:33,826 --> 00:58:35,547
What could that be?
786
00:58:35,653 --> 00:58:36,826
Yes.
787
00:58:37,164 --> 00:58:41,065
Is it not a council meeting to
deliberate on our next successor?
788
00:58:42,703 --> 00:58:44,596
- Indeed.
- Also,
789
00:58:44,768 --> 00:58:47,977
you extended the possibility
of being proclaimed successor...
790
00:58:48,179 --> 00:58:51,289
to all nobles of true bone.
791
00:58:56,326 --> 00:58:58,089
I did.
792
00:58:59,895 --> 00:59:01,156
Hence,
793
00:59:01,455 --> 00:59:04,688
I brought someone I wish
to commend as our successor.
794
00:59:09,884 --> 00:59:11,628
Escort him in.
795
00:59:43,450 --> 00:59:47,513
I am the legitimate son of
Gaeyang keeper Princess Cheonmyeong,
796
00:59:47,886 --> 00:59:50,532
Kim. Chun. Chu.
797
00:59:51,435 --> 00:59:53,645
I salute you, Sire.
798
01:00:06,514 --> 01:00:12,231
What intents could have led me here?!
799
01:00:15,671 --> 01:00:17,134
I...
800
01:00:19,038 --> 01:00:24,087
came here with the intent
of ruling this nation.
801
01:00:30,846 --> 01:00:32,625
R...ight.
802
01:00:33,266 --> 01:00:35,958
But, why are you...
803
01:00:36,230 --> 01:00:39,484
As the son of Princess Cheonmyeong
and Lord Yongsu,
804
01:00:39,639 --> 01:00:45,059
who lamentably perished before
he was proclaimed Crown Prince,
805
01:00:45,172 --> 01:00:48,397
had his grandfather King Jinji
not been demoted to true bone,
806
01:00:48,522 --> 01:00:51,941
Lord Chunchu would
unquestionably be of sacred bone.
807
01:00:52,239 --> 01:00:54,056
- Also...
- However!
808
01:00:54,430 --> 01:00:56,010
He is now of true bone.
809
01:00:56,780 --> 01:00:58,725
Manifold reasons
might have caused this,
810
01:00:58,865 --> 01:01:01,947
but that does not change the fact
that he remains of true bone.
811
01:01:04,203 --> 01:01:05,589
Yes...
812
01:01:06,035 --> 01:01:08,750
Should we so austerely abide
by the bone rank system,
813
01:01:08,879 --> 01:01:11,280
he certainly would remain so.
814
01:01:11,859 --> 01:01:12,815
But...
815
01:01:12,915 --> 01:01:15,602
- Lord Chunchu...
- The bone rank system...
816
01:01:21,820 --> 01:01:24,298
is a barbaric vestige of the past.
817
01:01:35,504 --> 01:01:38,315
Refrain from such vilipending
parlance, Milord!
818
01:01:38,441 --> 01:01:41,315
That which you so disdainfully abhor
is our country's very foundation!
819
01:01:41,499 --> 01:01:43,680
- How could you...
- Juvenile fatuity...
820
01:01:44,414 --> 01:01:47,209
might influence my views
and becloud my judgment,
821
01:01:48,381 --> 01:01:52,118
but nowhere else have I ever seen
such a barbaric and frivolous policy.
822
01:01:52,273 --> 01:01:55,135
Not the Middle Kingdom,
nor the Western Regions.
823
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,141
Never before have I ever heard of it!

~ On the Next Episode Of ~
QUEEN ~*~ SEONDEOK
831
01:02:43,568 --> 01:02:46,706
I am quite close with Lord Chunchu.
832
01:02:46,831 --> 01:02:50,239
Mishil's wish is for Chunchu
and I to be in conflict.
833
01:02:50,410 --> 01:02:54,924
There is no just cause to refute
Lord Chunchu's candidacy as successor.
834
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,890
Her Highness Mishil just left.
835
01:02:57,005 --> 01:02:58,293
Right!
836
01:03:00,441 --> 01:03:01,841
Why could I not think of it?
837
01:03:01,914 --> 01:03:03,910
What is it? Tell me.
838
01:03:04,037 --> 01:03:06,936
What is afflicting Sejong
will not bring us any benefit.
839
01:03:07,052 --> 01:03:09,823
Why did you request us to
observe Lord Sejong's movements?
840
01:03:09,901 --> 01:03:11,741
Lord Chunchu seeks your audience.
841
01:03:11,871 --> 01:03:14,010
Lord Chunchu?!
842
01:03:15,753 --> 01:03:16,687
You knaves!
843
01:03:16,780 --> 01:03:18,177
Will you be able to aid me?
844
01:03:18,670 --> 01:03:20,884
Listen to that...
845
01:03:21,168 --> 01:03:22,295
What are you waiting for?
846
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,933
Arrange a seat
for Jukbang Daenangdu!
847
01:03:25,011 --> 01:03:26,709
Will you join my cause?
848
01:03:26,862 --> 01:03:27,998
W...what?!
