Episode 26

A descendant of the heavens does not break or fall.

The Buyeo people are descendants of the heavens.

They will not break or fall.

The Yemaek people are descendants of heaven and must not fall. Yemaek people: Root of Baekje

Wi Birang is the descendant of King Mayeo

and Prince Yeogu is the prince of Baekje.

I am going to give King Ye's seal to one of them.

If you give it to me, I will accept it.

Nonsense.

How can you take it when I'm the descendant of King Mayeo?

You can't have the seal because you want it.

Only a generous person without any enemies can have it.

- Nampyeongyangseong Fortress, Goguryeo - Is it true?

Did the queen have an affair with salt seller Yeogu?

Whether that's true or not,

being injured while protecting another man is a sin to die for.

We should make compensations and send her back to her father.

We can't let a lewd queen live.

The king should kill her.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I asked if that was the injury you got trying to save Yeogu.

I asked if that was the scar he left on my woman.

Do you think you can cover it?

That scar isn't on your body.

It's in my heart.

I tried to love you,

and wanted my heart to pound when I saw you,

but it didn't.

It was a great suffering to live

as a woman who can't love her husband.

Why?

Why can't you love me?

I didn't want you because of a political arrangement.

Is Baekje that important?

It's not just because of Baekje.

If it's not just because of Baekje...

Are you saying it's because of that salt seller Yeogu?

I couldn't help it.

Quiet.

Just be quiet!

Your Majesty!

You dare to say you couldn't love me

because of another man?

Your Highness, please ask for forgiveness.

Say it's not true.

I don't want to lie to myself

deceive you any longer.

My soul is dead. Only my body lives here.

I wanted to feel alive with Yeogu even if it was just one minute.

Even if I died, I wanted at least my soul to be with Yeogu.

It's no crime for a man to kill his wife for having an affair.

I'll kill you and send your soul to that salt seller Yeogu.

I ask for your forgiveness before you kill me.

Are you afraid of my sword?

Do you want to live?

Do you want to live after betraying me and causing me pain?

I was prepared to die when I returned.

I wouldn't have come back if I wanted to live.

Then what are you asking forgiveness for?

Forgive me for not being able to accept your heart.

Close your eyes.

You betrayed me and had an affair with another man.

Don't look at me!

Your Highness!

Father,

I am giving up being the princess of Baekje.

I have committed a sin.

The king is going to kill me.

Please forgive me.

What's the use of killing a woman who

wants her soul to be with another man?

How can I watch your soul be happy with Yeogu?

Why should I be so generous?

You are going to age and die by my side.

You are going to watch Yeogu die by my hands.

Is there anyone outside?

The chief minister and governor will enter.

You called, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty.

I'm giving an order.

She is no longer queen.

Make her a servant of Eosugwan. Eosugwan: Place that cooks food for the palace

You can't do that, Your Majesty.

Please reconsider.

How can you make a queen a servant?

Just send her back to Baekje.

She's my woman. Nobody is sending her to Baekje.

If she goes to Liaoxi, what will you do about my humiliation?

If you can't send her back to Baekje, make her take her life.

Yes, Your Majesty.

That is much better.

How can we maintain a relationship with Baekje if we kill her?

We haven't driven out the Xianbei people

and we didn't get the Daebang land yet.

We can't kill the queen.

A man must not be humiliated, but neither must a queen.

She is no queen.

A woman who had an affair with another man is not a queen.

Have her take her life.

Making her a servant will have consequences.

Are you telling me what to do?

I will not kill her and I will not send her back to Baekje.

Make her a servant is Eosugwan.

She'll make those rice ball cakes for the prince all her life.

I won't forget that you spared my life.

Virtue is making a sacrifice to do the right thing.

A virtuous ruler dies for his people.

Confucius said virtue is love.

Loving the people is virtuous.

Ko Heung said to get you.

Is he done studying?

Did you find the answer?

I was already virtuous before I found the answer.

I am the descendant of King Mayeo.

I have always loved and missed Buyeo.

I was upset that we lost our country to Goguryeo

and our people were slaves.

I tried to save them.

It that isn't virtuous, what is?

He's right.

That is a virtue of a great ruler.

Will you give King Ye's seal to the boss?

Did you find an answer?

I'm not sure.

My lord.

I was kicked out by my father and had to live as a salt seller.

Instead of books, I had a ledger.

Now, I have been kicked out by my stepbrother.

I have a sword to try to achieve my father's great will.

Talking about virtue is just a bunch of pathetic words to me.

If you give me King Ye's seal, I won't refuse to accept it.

But even if you don't give it to me, I will achieve my will.

Good.

You don't need King Ye's seal.

I have made my decision.

I will give King Ye's seal to Prince Yeogu.

What?

As far as I know, Prince Yeogu is truly virtuous.

When? How?

I never saw him be benevolent.

First, it is a ruler's virtue to feed his people.

It hurts that everyone can't eat, but the soldiers must eat first.

This is the rule for the food prepared by Cheonghawon funds.

Everyone eats the same and starves the same.

A second virtue of a ruler is strength.

If the ruler isn't strong, the country will fall apart and the people will die.

That is the reason East Buyeo fell.

Get the soldiers organized. We're going after the Zhao soldiers.

They're already retreating.

You want to make more sacrifices?

Not one of them must remain alive.

Everyone feared me, 'Red Ax,' in Liaoxi,

but I never killed a fleeing army.

A snake that isn't dead is more poisonous.

It has to be killed completed.

They all have to be killed to prevent Shihu from sending more soldiers.

A third virtue,

is about life.

Trying to kill a friend who shared life and death is not virtuous.

Oh!

I don't care if you have King Ye's seal.

I will not allow such lies.

A great will can't be achieved with big words from scholars.

Fine.

If you believe Wi Birang should receive King Ye's seal,

stand behind him.

Ogi.

I am not a Baekje person,

but I don't believe Wi Birang is the owner of the seal.

Dugo!

This is what it means to be generous and have no enemies.

Prince Yeogu will step forward.

Ko Heung presents King Ye's seal to the leader of the Yemaek people.

We serve the new leader of the Yemaek people.

I, Dugo, serve the new leader of the Yemaek people.

I will not accept this!

I will not accept

Yeogu as the leader of the Yemaek people.

Boss!

Don't follow me.

You can't give up your great will.

Give me a chance to set everything right.

Birang!

How does it feel to own the world?

Don't leave.

Birang!

I guess a winner has the leisure of pitying others.

It isn't pity.

I need you.

East Buyeo died a hundred years ago.

Quiet. Just be quiet!

Can you bring back a dead person?

You can't revive a dead country!

Let Buyeo go and raise Baekje with the drifters of Buyeo.

I told you to be quiet!

I didn't kill you because I respect King Ye's seal.

Go back.

Birang.

The breeze is nice.

The ocean is much better than a stuffy forest.

I would like all the separated people to become one.

I want to unify all the Yemaek people.

I'm going to unify Hanttang, Liaodong and Liaoxi.

I'm going to give the Yemaek people land for a home.

Come with me.

Tell that crazy stuff to your followers.

Won't you join me in achieving that?

Do you need to jump in the cold water to forget about such crazy dreams?

If you won't leave, I will kill you.

I showed enough respect for King Ye's seal.

I will have you on my right side.

Prince Yeogu has King Ye's seal?

I plan to use the warriors you left with our people.

I will take the prince's head to Hanseong myself.

You'll kill him yourself?

I have a debt to pay back.

What about you?

Do it yourself.

I don't have any debt to pay back for Princess Yeohwa.

Let's go.

Hongran, Prince Yeogu has King Ye's seal.

Is that true?

Dugo said so. Boss left by himself.

Birang...

Hongran!

This is a drug that paralyzes. We have to be careful.

Boss, is this where you came?

Hongran is looking for you.

You bowed to King Ye's seal.

Go back to Yeogu.

Any person of Buyeo should bow to King Ye's seal.

But if you leave, I will leave, too.

I don't change my lord.

Where is Ajikai?

I don't know.

I'm going to give the Yemaek people land for a home.

Come with me.

You must not give up your great will.

Give me a chance to set everything right.

Are you leaving, too?

I have no choice since the boss is leaving.

You'll both come back here.

The Buyeo people are here. This is Buyeo.

My lord.

I'd like to say my final goodbye to the descendant of King Dongmyeong.

It's sad to see you go.

Come out.

She just finished doing the dishes.

You have to make a late-night snack for His Majesty.

What brings you here?

Leave us.

Why did you set her up?

Are you disappointed with me?

You only did what you had to for Goguryeo.

I have no right to be disappointed.

You couldn't love the king,

but do you respect him as your husband?

I might be a servant now, but you were my servant once.

How can you ask such a question?

The king and Prince Yeogu can't live under the same sky.

It is so if the prince becomes Eoraha of Baekje.

Even if he doesn't, as long as he gathers the drifters of Buyeo in Liaoxi,

the king and Prince Yeogu will have to fight.

Is that why you wanted to eliminate me?

This is baekduhong.

Your Highness, that is poison.

You want me to take my life?

Do you want to see the man you love fight your husband?

It would be better to die than to live as a servant of Eosugwan.

Admit you were wrong and take your life,

then Goguryeo and Baekje won't fight.

- Hanseong Palace, Baekje -

Your Highness.

Did you have dinner?

What is it?

Princess Yeohwa,

I mean, the queen...

How can I...

I am so shocked.

Stop mumbling and speak properly.

Did something happen to Yeohwa?

A hawk arrived from Nampyeongyangseong.

The king dethroned her and made her a slave of Eosugwan.

Yeohwa.

How can he make her a servant?

What is the reason?

She had an affair.

That's nonsense.

She was framed.

Sayu's servants must have framed her.

How can they frame her with an affair?

Who is the man?

Father, do you believe it?

There must have been another man.

Who did she have an affair with?

Yeogu.

Yeo...

She dressed like a servant and went to see Yeogu in Yedu.

She tried to stop Goguryeo soldiers from killing Yeogu and was injured.

That is the message we received.

Father.

We have to bring her back.

Break off the marriage and bring her back.

I will go with jwapyeong Hae and get her back.

I'll write an official letter.

I'll say Yeohwa is not well and she should we sent back.

We have nothing to say if a husband kills his wife for having an affair.

You're going to abandon Yeohwa?

Father, you believe that Yeohwa had an affair?

It was with Yeogu.

He can't be under the same sky as me.

Why did she see Yeogu?

A daughter who goes against my will is no daughter of mine.

You can't abandon Yeohwa.

Please save my daughter.

Save Yeohwa!

Save...

Mother, mother!

Mother!

My poor daughter.

There is nothing I can do for you as your father.

I can't make Baekje go to battle against...

Goguryeo to bring you back.

Are you crazy?

Why are you getting up for a servant?

Yeogu has King Ye's seal?

Yes.

Let him enjoy it for a while.

I will take Yeogu's neck when I get the seal.

Taste it.

It's alright, Your Majesty.

A Baekjan's food is no good. Neither is a Baekjan.

Your highness.

How long are you going to endure this humiliation?

I will die by his hands if I have to, but I will not take my own life.

Jincheng Fortress, Liaoxi

I'm telling you I'm right.

No, you're not.

What are you thinking?

I'm going to kill you for what you did to the queen.

Gugeom.

My lord.

Prince!

You!

Prince!

Boss!

Boss! Why?

Why? Why did you save the prince?

I'm sorry.

I'm going to let the prince...

achieve Buyeo's dream.

Did you conspire with Hae Geon to kill him?

Don't cause any trouble.

Everything ends here.

How can we forget that he tried to kill you?

He was just fulfilling his duties for his boss.

Let him go.

I can understand Ajikai, but why let him go?

It's not the first time he tried to kill you.

I owe him.

I'm paying off my debt.

Push harder

Are you alright?

I will die...

and be buried in your heart.

That is a blessing.

Let's go.

If you came to eat, eat.

If you came to drink, drink.

I came to give something back to you.

What?

What does this mean?

You'll forget the queen of Goguryeo?

She means a lot to me.

She lost everything because of me.

I wouldn't be a human being if I forgot her.

Then what is the reason you're giving me your mother's ring?

I can't treat you the same as Yeohwa.

I shouldn't.

Why did you come then?

You can say I'm...

selfish.

But all men are like that.

I'll wait.

I'll give you some time.

I'm very patient.

I won't tell you to forget the queen of Goguryeo.

You'll know what you feel for her is pity and you love me.

The leader of the Yemaek people will come forward and bow with me.

Birang.

Thank you.

Bring King Ye's seal.

King Dongmyeong,

Soseono,

King Biryu.

As the successor of King Ye's seal, I swear to you.

I will embrace the people

of Buyeo and the people of Baekje.

I will unify the Yemaek people.

I will serve you.

2 years later (346) Outskirts of Nampyeongyangseong Fortress

I will meet Sayu and settle the matter of the Daebang land. Daebang: Border between Baekje and Goguryeo with three fortresses

I will help the crown prince.

We will return the Daebang land and bring the queen back.

Your first priority isn't Yeohwa. It is the Daebang land.

Sayu is rough and violent.

Be careful not to upset him.

Yeohwi is at Moroseong. Don't worry.

If you form an alliance with Sayu,

Yeogu will be dead even if he returns.

Moroseong Fortress, Daebang, Baekje

Crown prince.

Is the king of Goguryeo here?

He arrived at Gomoriseong.

We prepared a written agreement.

There is no reason to wait.

Contact Gomori and begin the covenant meeting.

Gomoriseong Fortress, Daebang, Goguryeo

I heard you became crown prince again.

You have the presence of a commander.

It is all thanks to you.

Is it?

Your Majesty!

A signal fire went up at Jangmoegot.

Why would there be a signal fire?

It only faces Liaoxi.

Then?

Prince Yeogu is back.

Excuse me.

Who would send a message to us?

What does it say?

Prince Yeogu is back. with Seung.

Jangmoegot, Daebang, Goguryeo

My lord.

Commander, this is the Daebang land.

My father worked hard to gain this land.

I, no, we...

have to defend it against Bu Yeojun and Sayu.
