Original subtitles

Not long ago, there was a guy in the market that had amazing skill.

What in the world was he doing

Would you like to trust me once?

I shall be the knight to serve you, princess.

This person is suspected of spying after his palace infiltration.

Who are you?

He's my son.

I will not allow it.

Father.

I love your passion, but

because of your royal status this cannot be.

I will change the world.

Are you saying that you admit it?

As the princess' knight,

I will not fail.

Yeon Choong, are you saying that yuo will slay me?

Princess, I will rescue you.

Father!

You must go to Jo Il Geum, Princess!

During emergency, the Geum Hwa Dan's headquarterswill be 절번.

Princess!

~ Episode 10 ~

Have you come all the way here just to kill me?

Boo Chi and Shi Woo take the East,

Seol Young you take the Westand Young Hae take the North.

I will find you without fail.

They've only been at Jo Il Bon for a short while but his reputation has spread throughout.

The very construct is different. Look!Even the colorful pattern is different!

You can definitely tell they're from Pyeong Yang castle.

Did you say they just arrived from Pyong Yang castle?

Yes? Yes.

Again?

You've already met with everyone who camefrom Pyong Yang castle!

Let's just stop!

You go on ahead.

Perhaps...

Could you

tell me the person who made this parasol?

Why do you ask that?

Because we're looking for the person who drew this painting.

I don't...know.

Do you want to die?!

Hey, take your hands off me, you bastard!

Pretty lady. Take a good look, okay?

It is!

You go and spread the word.

I will go with this girl to meet with the Princess.

Be careful, Uncle.

Don't you worry!

Hey, common.

I came to find out about the people from Pyong Yang castle who make these parasols.

Well, let's see. I don't think it's been long since they came from Pyong Yang castle.

Is it possible to find the little parasol selling girl's house?

Her house?

Here.

Princess!

You were safe!

Princess, how have you been?

Let's talk about the specifics, later.

The traitor's son is here.

It'll be too difficult with the arrow in this crowd.

Then, am I to just let him go?!

You should never forgive us while we live.

For the sin of

not being able to protect His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

We deserve to die hundred times over.

How is your person?

I lost the traitor right before my eyes.

That was a good thing.

Right now there are not only Yeon Gaesomun's sonbut his subordinates throughout.

With one false move, your life could have been in danger.

I've seen my father and brother's

corpse burning.

The common people spat

at my father who is the Emperor of Goguryeo

and mocked him.

The very people who have spent the past 24 years

under my father's protection, peacefully without a war,

are now calling my father,

the Emperor of Goguryeo as the traitor whotried to sell his country off.

I will not forgive.

The traitor Jang, the leader of traitors Yeon Gaesomun,

and the traitor's son Yeon Choong,

before I kill them with my own hands,

I'll never be able to close my eyes, even if I die.

Excuse me, where is the little parasol maker's house?

If you go around the bend there, you will see.

Thank you.

The chief tracker from Yeon Gaesomun has arrived.

I'll cut off and bring their heads.

This isn't the time.

He is coming to us on his own accord.

If we kill him now, we will be giving out our whereabouts.

Then Yeon Gaesomun will track us til the end.

You must leave this place, quickly.

Look here. What are you about?

Just what makes you act like this?

Who are you to behave like this?

Where is the woman supposedly from Pyong Yang castle?

She died a few days ago.

Was it this woman?

I think so.

I'll ask again.

I told you she's dead.

If you don't tell the truth, this man will die.

It's okay Choo Hee. It's okay.

Unni, Unni...

is dead!

What did you do with the corpse?

We buried her cremated ashes under a boulder near that mountain behind.

You will not survive were to have lied.

Please take another look.

Was it truly this person?

I was on my way back from Pyong Yang castleto Jo Il Bon,

when I discovered her collapsed by riverside.

After that her illness dragged on for a whilethen died a few days ago.

You will be able to deceive him with this.

Ah really, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Man, I'm not sure who you might be,

but just think of this as you're saving the nation

and forgive us, please.

I mean, since you've saved the country in past life,

you will reap huge reward in next life.

There, there, there.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go.

-Hurry up!-There's nothing better suited than a lie!

Did my father order this?

To find the Princess and kill her, using me!

This is the reason why he released me?

The Princess is dead.

I am to blame.

Everything is

this powerless man's fault

who couldn't protect you.

I think they've checked the grave.

I believe we have succeeded in deceiving them for the moment.

Now I would be a dead person to them?

Princess So Hee is

dead.

I am now a person who doesn't exist in this world.

In daytime

or at night.

I won't even have a shadow.

From now on,

I'm Moo Young.

Princess.

I am no longer the princess.

Now I am

Moo Yeong.

You say the Princess is dead?

Are you certain?

I verified the things left by the deceased.

What about my son?

He disappeared after leaving the Princess' gravesite.

Should I track him down?

Never mind.

He has cut off his ties with this family.

In current situation, the military supply of 500,000 seok (counting measure for rice bags) is difficult.

As you well know, the crop harvest situation has been bad for the past 3 years, even procuring 구일미 is difficult.

However, Your Majesty!

If we are to protect 12 castles in Cheon Ri Great Wall,that is the amount most necessary.

Even for a King who has no war experience...(You're clueless)

To supply such vast amount of food for the militarywe will have to squeeze more tax out of my subjects,

then we will lose people's sentiment.

Or is it that

you are willing to donate your private funds?

Even the public sentiment can be only obtainedafter the nation's safety has been secured.

We have the reserve we saved thus far. Let's first use...

This is not a war time.

How can you suggest we use the emergency reserve saved for war during a non-war time?

I'm glad you mentioned that, General.

This is not war time.

It's customary to put bow and arrow back toa shed, once the hunt is over.

This is the time to promote internal stability

rather than preparation for war.

Isn't that the reason why

you, General, is here

rather than in Cheon Ri Great Wall fortification site?

Then I'll take myself off to Cheon Ri Great Wall.

I'll go there and support the fortification process,

and inspect the military supply issues myselfbefore I return.

I shall consult you on the supply issue at that time.

I concur.

Are you feeling better?

I think you may have trained too hard on martial arts.

You came in without a sound, didn't you.

The Princess died

in Do Il Bon.

I hear you have awakened twice at 2am?

Do you have me watched?

The Princess has died

and I will be leaving for Cheon Ri Great Wall soon,

I wish you a restful sleep.

Your Majesty should protect Your throne

and I must protect the borders.

in order to protect the Gorguryeo that you and I dream of.

I think His Majesty is deluding himself

thinking that he rose to the throne all on his own.

We should nip that habit in the bud.

In such important time, how can you go to Cheon Ri Great Wall?

Regional public sentiment is serious.

The rebellion could make a move.

That is why I must personally go.

I will take this opportunity to root out even the sprouts of the poisonous plants.

Why have you returned?

Father.

That is not a thing that someone who left his family would say.

I will follow your path.

Did you not say that my ways were embarrassing?

I realized that disrespect is more embarrassing

I will stand with those who have power

and I will become a man with power.

Then,

will you align your purposes with mine?

How can purpose

be of any importance?

Whether that is treason, fraud, or cunningness

I will not hold back anything in order to gain power.

In order to protect what is mine, I will throw away duty

and all else that remains.

And if need be,

I will use use as a stepping stone to rise.

I will depart for the Cheolli Great Wall soon.

I will entrust my safety to you.

If you succeed, I will accept you as one of us.

Geez, stop pushing me around.

Begin to depart.

Wow, you never know what the fate will bring you.

Look what he's become!

He's changed,

Hyung-nim. He's just changed so much!

I hear people change when they're approaching death.

But that can't happen!

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Worrying about useless things.

I hear that Yeon Gaesomun, who wiped outmy Hyung-nim's family, is approaching here.

Yeong Jeong Mo (Yeon Jeong Ro's younger brother)We now have opportunity for revenge. Please help me.

I will not take part in your personal revenge.

General Yang!

Whatever you say, I will pretend I didn't hear it.

Doing nothing to the traitor who revolted.

Is that a right thing to do?

The revengeful sword will only bring more blood.

Goguryeo can't afford another bloodshed right now.

I'm disappointed in you, General!

You owed Yeon Gaesomun your life.

So you've already taken his side?

Watch your word.

Yeon Jeong Mo was turned away by Yang Moon.

Maybe,

we might be able to use Yeong Jeong Mo's desire for revenge.

Wouldn't it be better to contact General Yang Moon and link hands with him?

The reason why Yeon Gaesomun didn't kill him is

to prevent Yang Moon's people from revolting,and to gather up the local noblemen.

Therefore, General Yang's every movewill be reported to Yeon Gaesomun.

So it will be dangerous to contact him hastily.

Where is Yeon Gaesomun now?

He will probably arrive at Jol Bon Castlein a couple of days.

We don't have much time.

To make Yeon Jeong Mo reach out to us,we will need a bait.

What is all the fuss?

Do not act rashly.

How dare Yeon Gaesomun send an assassin to my bedroom and threaten me like this?

I can't just sit here and be killed.

How many Yeon Gaesomun's procession soldiers are there?

There are a little more than 50 of them, but I believe there are more than 500 in the second group.

Our military isn't enough.

We need a meticulous plan and skillful men.

Look into assassins.

I heard that, thanks to you, local people feel more settled.

At any rate, I know you're going through a lot.

To help us get to the Cheolli Great Wall safely,

you'll have to continue to exert your influence.

Have you met with Yeon Jeong Mo, who's the younger brother of Yeon Jeong Ro?

Do you share his ideas?

Not all thoughts can turn into actions.

That's what I hope for as well.

Go to Yeon Jeong Mo's private house right now.Keep a very close eye on him all day.

What kind of people enter and exit the house.You have to report everything, even a 3 year old.

- I saw him running to this direction.- Try that direction.

With this, you'll be able to deceive him.

Your Majesty! Honored Father!Your Majesty!

As promised, behead the Princess personally,and prove that you're General Yeon's son.

Your Highness!

I received a word from Yeon Jeong Mo,telling us to come in tonight.

That's great.

If you continue to use the sword like that,

you'll get yourself hurt, Princess.

I already told you that I wasn't a Princess anymore.

Yeon Jeong Mo might recognize your face.

He's a very distrustful guy, so he might not be so quick to use us.

I have an idea, so trust me.

Have you looked into them?

I asked around, but they're not local people,

but rootless wanderers.

That's enough.

- Where have you come from?- We wander around different places.

Are you all families?

We go deeper than the family,so you can rest assured.

Could it be... that you're a woman?

That has never been a problem.

Who sent you here?Was it Yeon Gaesomun?

Make the swordsmen leave.

Have you not seen me at the palace?

I am.

I am.

Who is it?

It's General Yeon Gaesomun.

Open up the door.

You wait here for a moment.

What?

I am

Goguryeo Tae King's daughter, Princess So Hee.

I heard the Princess was killed during the upheaval.

There's no one who's seen her corpse.

This year, I was invited to the King's birthday ceremony,

and went to the palace.

It was the 14th day of Janurary.

It was a celebration party where every localcastle lord, not just the one from Pyeong Yang, attended.

That day,

my father drank a lot of bitter melon wine,and sang twice.

What bring you, who're already dead,

here, Princess?

The one who's your enemy as well as my enemy.

We now have a chance to cut off Yeon Gaesomun's head.

General.

Now is the time for us to combine our strengths.

General!

Right now, outside...General Yeon Gaesomun has arrived.

I told you General Yeon Gaesomun was here.

Open the door!

What happened?

This is absolutely unexpected.

General! What should I tell General Yeon Gaesomun?

Is General Yeon Gaesomun with soldiers?

I believe he's with about ten soldiers.

He will get suspicious if you hold off any longer.

Let him come in for now.

But have the soldiers stand by around the house.

And see if there are any other Yeon Gaesomun's soldiers around the house.

Yes.

If it's just Yeon Gaesomun and a little over 10 soldiers, we can suppress them ourselves.

Today, you and I will cut off Yeon Gaesomun's head,

and straighten the history that was in chaos.

You will avenge the death of your brother, who was the prime minister,

and become Goguryeo's new prime minister.

Today

will be the first day for our new Goguryeo.

Did you have a guest?

You didn't come here because you were curious about who I was meeting with, did you?

You might be sad for your brother's death.

But that is how the end of a betrayer should be.

Are you here now to enlighten meon what will become of a betrayer?

I hear that you're trying to kill me.

Do you think you can kill me?

If you can't kill me,

it is only natural for you to die.

But there is a way for you to live.

We are both Yeon family.

Will you die as a betrayer?

Or will you survive and bring honorto Goguryeo's family?

For you, I have left the prime ministerseat unoccupied.

Prime minister...

Succeed to my brother's seat...

Fine. I will accept your offer, General.

General.

I have the drinks ready.

Should we bring them in?

Do the drinks have nice aroma?

Ye.. yes.

It's not a proper manner to send away an honorable guest with nothing.

Take extra care.

Father,

it's late at night, so have the drinks at another time.

I hope that

you won't regret this decision.

Father. Today at last, the traitors will be punished.
