We can't fight another war. 84 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:52,060 Don't you see that, Overlord? 85 00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:57,070 What are you talking about? 86 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,060 We can fight. 87 00:08:02,030 --> 00:08:09,070 The moment His Majesty goes, we lose our independence, our sovereignty. 88 00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:16,090 Our sovereign has never bowed to another power in Koryo's long history. 89 00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:21,090 Is that what you want? 90 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:24,100 We can't close that door. 91 00:08:24,130 --> 00:08:27,030 Let it! 92 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:33,030 Door or no door, we will not sell our country. 93 00:08:36,090 --> 00:08:42,120 We never have and never will. 94 00:08:58,030 --> 00:09:00,070 The Palace in Kanghwa 95 00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:12,000 Quite a quandary. I'm not fond of going myself. 96 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,130 But if I don't, they Mongols will invade again. 97 00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:20,140 Whatever happens, your decision will be the right one, Sire. 98 00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:25,110 You must go. For the survival of the Imperial House. 99 00:09:26,140 --> 00:09:34,130 Obviously. For Koryo and to keep Kim Jun's men under control. 100 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,120 Yes, Sire. But most of all, we must convince Kim Jun himself. 101 00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:47,030 I gave him a fancy position to hopefully convince him. 102 00:09:47,090 --> 00:09:50,120 But he still won't budge. What now? 103 00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,120 Are you unwell, Sire? 104 00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:07,080 I always get this way when I think of Kim Jun. 105 00:10:09,010 --> 00:10:13,090 Hits me right where it hurts. 106 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:18,140 Try not to worry.

His Majesty can't go. 116 00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:19,070 He's right. It's throwing away our independence. 117 00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:24,110 The Three Patrols won't have it.
