Episode 21

Allegiance!

What are you doing?

Here, the safest place in Goryeo.

I'm going to hide here, glued to you.

I even got the King's permission too.

And also... this.

I received a sword too.

See, mine.

It seems there isn't a women's dorm here in the Woodalchi barracks.

So I thought I'd stay here for now.

If you could just put a cot there.

Actually I sleep fine with two chairs bunched together too.

Hey, Deok Man, you should clean better.

I will work for my food's share too.

I'll do health check-ups and treatments for the corps members.

Hence?

I should stay here too?

This is General's room and you are General.

Because I'm General?

Here?

Here ... and don't run away.

General and High Doctor ...

These things!

Hey, not my head!

Hey, are you spectating a fire? Not leaving?

Not going out?

Ack get out!

Why?

About what?

The one who says she will return through the heaven door after the full moon ...

comes into my room and says she'll stay with me?

Why?

That ...

According to the King, the safest place is ... here.

The King said?

Though I did put in the request.

The one that couldn't be understood at all, from the start.

I am?

Why she's laughing so, and why she's angry ... then I barely came to understand.

That she's always worried about me.

In worrying about me, she cries.

Then she laughs.

In worrying about me, she flees from me.

And this time, wanting to return was for that as well, right?

Because you were worried about me who was always glancing towards the palace.

Even if Imja's life is on the line?

But I didn't die.

This is how the order goes.

First, I will find Imja's antidote.

Accordingly, if Imja's poison can be cured without having to return to heaven,

then I will ask you this.

"Can you stay?"

There are people waiting for Imja in heaven, I am aware of that.

I am aware of it, but still, I will ask.

"I will protect you your entire life, so will you be with me?"

Protecting me wouldn't be easy though.

I'm aware of it.

Entire life?

If I am to have Imja, it is for an entire life.

Not today, this one day, nor a few days.

Then if that time comes for me to ask you, will you give me your answer?

I came by Your Majesty's summons.

Please sit.

When will you return?

Yesterday I intended to give High Doctor the post of State Ambassador.

Thinking if she were to be seated in a high position, it would be accordingly safe.

However, she insisted on going into Woodalchi.

Yes.

So you will remain here for now, right?

There is one matter I'd like to settle first.

It must be the matter of Prince Deok Heung.

He dared to kidnap Her Highness the Queen.

And you need High Doctor's antidote as well.

May I attack him?

Dansa Officer is protecting him.

If it's difficult officially, I will do so on a personal basis.

Let's do it officially.

See if you lose!

Don't you worry!

General.

Continue.

Yes.

Me?

Why?

Did you not come to hide here?

But I am hiding.

In a place with so many kids?

But since they're all Woodalchis, it's fine, they said.

Which punk said?

I was going to go to the Palace Medical Office today.

But they said I needed your permission first, so I was in the middle of waiting.

I have some medicinal herbs I need from the Palace Medical Office.

And I need some of what I've been researching.

May I go, General?

Not alone, but in a team of four.

Team of four. I understand.

Go get it and sit in this room modestly and continue that research.

Yes, General.

Why did you come?

Just to see me once?

I'm going to be a bit late today.

Yes, General.

Since I have a matter to dispose of.

I'll be waiting, General.

That word "general" say it once more.

Ge-ne-ral?

General.

Oh, we're ready to leave.

Let's go.

Your Majesty.

You came again?

Is it still not possible?

Did I not tell you I have somewhere else I need to send High Doctor to?

I'm not in a predicament I can hand her to you.

In that case ...

I will have to see to it myself to find her.

So Magistrate Byeon captured Chunhyang you see.

But what can she do? The magistrate captures her so she has to be dragged away.

So then, we're at the magistrate's house now.

So that magistrate, on that high floor,

he sits and on the bottom on the floor, Chunhyang is there all tied up.

So then, Magistrate Byeon goes, "Chunhyang, are you going to service me in bed?"

Wow. So a bastard like that doesn't only exist here.

So then, can you guess what Chunhyang says?

She says, "I won't!"

What's wrong?

Deok Man, guard High Doctor. You follow me.

High Doctor.

Wait.

Here.

High Doctor.

The attackers already left.

And this ...

Royal Doctor Jang ...

he was hiding that one thing in his hands.

What are you talking about?

Royal Doctor Jang what?

He passed away.

We'll return to our barracks right away.

We don't know when they might attack again.

Move aside, please. Let me see.

He was attacked by masters of inner powers.

If they return, we won't be able to block them.

There are flying insects that inhabit Japan.

I'm wondering if it's that poison.

First a rash like this appears and afterwards, there isn't much symptoms.

But once a fever develops,

until death it is only seven days at best.

Then what do I do?

We'll have to attempt to make the antidote.

Is it possible to make?

It is an attempt. Since we don't know unless we try.

Go to Eastern Expansion Headquarters. The King has lost his wits.

But he couldn't infiltrate Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

Just don't venture any tricks.

I will do the thinking.

Of course that is what I want to request from you.

Send the kids and have them guard each gate. It's suspicious that he was dragging out time earlier.

Yes.

So that no one can sneak out.

Yes, Sir.

I came to meet Prince Deok Heung.

I heard he was in this room.

You were one of them too.

Where is he?

Prince Deok Heung.

I did my best to investigate.

Starting from Jo Il Shin,

to the Woodalchis that were in front of the heaven gate that day ...

everyone said the same thing without any discrepancy.

The heaven door opened, and through that door,

you escorted the doctor from heaven here.

The King as well.

He was there to witness as well.

The Woodalchis who are on standby by the inner gate,

tell them to ransack every nook and corner of this house.

I already received the authority from His Majesty the King.

Yes.

When did everyone put their stories straight?

Did you, Choi Young, create the story?

No.

Indeed it was that treacherous thing slithering her three inch tongue.

Watch what you say.

Prince Deok Heung, for the crime of kidnapping the Queen,

he will have to be investigated.

Through the back gate,

a carriage went out not long ago.

The troops are on the pursuit.

Don't lose him.

The direction is likely towards the Expansion Headquarters.

Yes.

An accomplice of someone like him,

even if he's the Prince of the Court, he wouldn't be spared.

Please be careful.

Help me meet that woman.

Just tell me where she is. I won't kill her.

I just have something I need to ask her.

Saying you won't kill her, and what will you do?

Since I heard about the deeds you've carried out on her.

I can't allow you to see her.

I'm not saying to just go to war no matter what.

We need to increase our level of defense armament.

To be honest, our Majesty ...

was risky to start out with.

He's not thinking about the people's safety,

and his pride pierces the sky.

Day by day, the apprehension is unbearable.

But still ...

the Yuan envoy is here, so first, we should meet him,

and talk first. What do you think?

Your Majesty.

Are you not going into the meeting?

It's noisy so I was dodging it.

We have Prince Deok Heung caught under detention.

When would you like the interrogation?

Today ...

Today I have to deal with the people inside the court,

so let's do it early tomorrow morning.

I'll have it prepared.

Royal Doctor Jang suffered an attack.

Likely by the people who came looking for High Doctor.

Is he hurt?

We have

lost that person.

High Doctor is likely to be quite startled.

In this land of this world,

he was her only friend, as I heard.

General. Royal Doctor Jang ...

I heard.

Suribang suffered attack as well.

A few of the kids got hurt.

Is it Prince of the Court again?

His pledged siblings came forward in person, it appears.

They are looking for High Doctor.

A few of the captured Suribang people suffered torture, it seems.

Just coming?

The medicine smell inside the room is a bit strong, right?

They said I couldn't go to the Royal Medical Office,

so I'm going to do some work here. I'm sorry.

You know ... Doctor Jang ...

I heard.

But he was my teacher.

He was my friend who would hear me out.

But I think...

it's my fault no matter how I think about it.

Look at this. My antidote.

Doctor Jang, as he was dying he was protecting this.

This one started to show reaction.

It needs to be watched more, and though we don't know if it's a success,

but it was reacting.

He was trying to protect this and died, I think.

This ...

He was hiding it tight inside his hands, I was told.

Hence, Doctor Jang,

to those punks who were looking for me ...

So it was because of me.

If only I wasn't here.

So ...

It's me who killed him.

I killed that person.

Sleep some.

At age 16,

I killed a person for the first time.

He was a Japanese raider...

and those around all complimented me.

That I was stouthearted

and skilled, killed in one stroke.

So at first I was thrilled.

I was proud of myself.

But ...

that night, I didn't get any sleep.

Because I was shaking with chills.

It was so cold.

But it was not a cold season.

It was in June, on the 21st day.

That day was.

You remember

the date?

The date, I remember,

as well as the face of the one I killed.

The second as well?

No.

No. Starting from the second, I only remember it like this.

One more.

And then another.

Another.

So I know this.

"I killed him" ... those words.

They are not to be said so lightly.

Did you hear that?

I heard.

Then

go to sleep now.

But I'm here.

From now until the count of three, I hope you turn around.

One

Two

Three!

Here, if you're late there won't be breakfast left.

I'll be back.

One

Two

Three!

Prince Deok Heung, My Lord.

There will be a royal questioning.

I will escort you there.

This is last.

The antidote,

you got it?

What antidote?

Oh, that person?

If I give it to you?

Were you going to return my betrothed to me?

Come in.

Search thoroughly.

Including the hair.

No?

There isn't.

Nothing?

Yes.

You must be the Commanding General, Choi Young.

What is this deed by Yuan soldiers,

inside Goryeo law jurisdiction?

Prince Deok Heung's current identity is Pyeongjang Officer of Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

Even if he is guilty of crime,

any confinement or questioning of that crime

is to be done not by Goryeo, but by Yuan's jurisdictioned office of inquiry at Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

That is the law.

High Doctor.

Why did you want to kill her?

If she's someone so mighty that she's notorious to Yuan even,

to bring her with you and show her around would come first.

Why did you want to just kill her no matter what?

If I come to meet that woman called High Doctor,

I plan to explain to her in person.

Another thing.

How did you know my name?

When I'm just a commanding general,

and I have not been around His Majesty for very long?

It is according to the intelligence I received upon entering Goryeo.

The current King

could one day become a tiger. However ...

However, if that man Choi Young who is the claw has been rid of,

he could be raised as a cat.

Hence I remembered, that name.

Did you come to break His Majesty?

I have yet to make my decision.

Of which side I should break.

As you ordered, I handed Prince Deok Heung to them.

I know it wasn't easy.

Are you sure?

That if Prince Deok Heung is snatched away by them,

that the statesmen would join their hearts?

I have to try. Your Majesty.

Eastern Expansion Headquarters is no different than it being Prince of the Court from Deokseong's.

The Pro-Yuan faction's main stronghold.

They took Prince Deok Heung.

It means soon, they will come attacking Your Majesty.

I am aware of it.

Please give me an army.

I will attack Eastern Expansion Headquarters before that.

First, I will seek the approval of the statesmen.

They are a band that the likes of an approval isn't needed.

I need it.

They are the ones who will do whatever it takes for their own gain.

But they use their private soldiers while I use my citizens.

Hence, I need time.

What the King has in his possession is the two thousand royal armymen.

Even if you add the bodyguard garrison to it, it's not a huge difference.

If they add together the private soldiers of the powerful families,

that number is many folds over ours. If they add together the private soldiers of the powerful families,

that number is many folds over ours.

If they join their force together,

it will be difficult to beat.

As long as they are around, our reform is not possible.

Do you know what this is?

This is what the King is working to propel.

The slaves in our keep and the land in our keep.

He wants to snatch them all and with that he wants to fight in a war against Yuan.

Soon, if Yuan comes to attack us,

we would have to fight Yuan in our borders.

And fight them on the inside.

Must we wait around until then?

They are protecting someone who kidnapped the Queen.

To us, we have a justification.

We can't miss this chance.

Hence,

I thought I'd change it.

Serve a new King of ours.

For this nation to be secure and to have the prosperity of our generations to come to continue.

Inside the Expansion Headquarters,

the soldiers numbers are at 100 at best.

The issue is the response by Ssangsseong Prefecture when we attack here.

Who knows about the situation there?

How did it go?

Not yet.

The statesmen are unable to decide yet.

I will meet the statesmen one by one and try to persuade them.

Military Commanders, please wait a bit longer.

Your Majesty, a military operation as this needs to be an ambush.

If the words leak out as we drag out time, our borders will be in danger.

I know that. Though I know it, I can't force it without the agreement of the statesmen.

You said we would use Prince Deok Heung as a bait to attack Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

Hence, I am not to harm even a nail of his, you said.

I did say so.

Do you think I am happy about this?

Did you throw in a bait when you didn't even have a fishing rod?

Do you know what fishing is?

I am a King, so I need a justification.

Please would you make that quickly?

That justification.

Then shall I cast a command upon you again?

Justification or whatever, there's no need so just go and capture him?

I'm still angry, so cut off his limbs.

Then you would do so for me, whatever it takes.

Do you remember the time I first returned home?

That night when the attackers ambushed us. You said this to me.

Can you stay behind me even if you're scared without running away?

Then you could protect me.

So I hid behind you.

While you fought on my behalf and protected me.

Your Majesty.

Until when?

Do I keep hiding behind you?

Hence ...

You need a justification that is not me?

What I want is to make Prince of the Court crumble without bloodshed.

In order

for us to see our land on the north again.

Couldn't you watch on a bit more?

I understand.

The ones who killed the royal doctor are ones from Prince of the Court's house, I heard.

It is so.

Go capture and bring them here. Indeed not as killed, but as live bodies.

I accept.

First, from what I can examine, it all looks fine.

Your pulse is good and you don't have any signs of infection.

Deo Gi will make medicine for you, so take that well.

Yes.

High Doctor.

There's something I'd like to ask.

Yes, go ahead and speak.

You once said this before. Heaven's intelligence.

Just how much His Majesty yearns after me.

That if I were to leave first, what would become of His Majesty.

You knew it all, right?

You knew I had a weak uterus too.

About that.

Heaven's knowledge ...

please tell me one more.

Us. His Majesty and me.

When will we have our next baby?

We can have it, right? Our baby?

Your Highness the Queen.

By chance, is it me who leaves first?

From My Majesty?

Is that why you said those words back then?

High Doctor, please see me.

Dansa Officer of Yuan nation sent a letter.

To me?

But I'm a bit weak with Chinese characters.

But he said for you to read in person alone only.

He says he's waiting right now.

I see.

High Doctor, are you alright?

Where is this person right now?

"Eun Soo" (in Hangul on the left) "High Doctor" (in Chinese characters on the right)

[Eun Soo's name is written in Hangul.] This. This letter you gave me. Did you right it yourself?

I wrote it.

This ... you know what kind of letters these are?

You know what writing this is?

You're Suribang too, right?

I remember seeing you before.

A hundred nyangs.

Where High Doctor is?

A hundred nyangs.

What? Pulling a prank?

Move aside.

I'll burn this damn house down.

Wait.

It's oil.

The whole house is splattered with it.

Whoever it is, they sure put in some effort.

I said not to touch it.

I'm not fighting them. I just have them confined.

What about the preparation?

I did everything you said to do.

You guys attacked the Royal Medical Office.

And killed the royal doctor and the palace herbalists?

What if we said we did?

Throw away your weapon and receive bondage.

And just be dragged away will do.

If you fire, you'll be the first to become a fireball.

So stop playing with fire.

But this is too cowardly.

Why are you like this, unlike yourself?

Why don't we fight properly one to one?

Why do I need to do that?

Throw away your weapon and receive bondage.

Dae Man.

One more jug of oil.

Since you love to play with fire.

Hey! Pardon me.

Take them away.

So you know how to read this writing.

You know this writing?

If you didn't know this writing ...

you wouldn't be running here like this.

Especially since ...

I am the one who said to put High Doctor to execution.

If I say I know this writing, then once again, you'll call me the wily thing who should be publicly executed.

Will you?

If I did that,

you wouldn't tell the truth, I gather.

Of course, I wouldn't.

Let's do this.

The words we share seated here,

we'll say it never existed right afterwards.

Fine.

This writing ...

what does it say?

You can't read it?

I can merely write it through memory.

Where did you see this?

My great-great-grandfather wrote it down in a journal.

This writing was written in a corner.

It seems my great-great-grandfather copied it down.

In that journal,

using tools of heaven and medicines of the land,

a story about a woman who cured people.

Thanks to that woman,

there were stories about ones who were resurrected from near death.

About that ...

did something go wrong?

Among the ones who were saved, he later became the head of a bandit organization.

If later he came back,

and slaughtered the entire villagers,

then it would be wrong.

My great-great-grandfather left a dying will.

If among the offspring,

there is a woman who says she's from heaven, kill her immediately.

In order to make the world peaceful.

What is your thought on it?

By chance, have you ever saved someone who shouldn't be saved?

I'm a doctor.

To a doctor, there isn't anyone who shouldn't be saved.

I'll ask again.

Did you come from heaven?

No.

Here.

What is it written here?

"What are you doing there right now?"

It's written so.

I tried to get all the antidotes possible.

But I don't think there's an antidote to that flying tick poison.

Anything else?

Something to drag out time or prevent pain?

This is something that rids of pain, but ...

Anything else?

I'm not sure if this will work on that poison.

There isn't time.

I left that person alone all day long today. I need to go.

What's this?

Everyone get in a line for a moment.

This is called raisin tree tea.

I saw that the raisin trees are abundant around the barracks here.

We drink this a lot in heaven world to ease fatigue.

So I made it once too.

So as I'm telling you to ...

you boil it so, and to those guards on the next shift,

have them drink it.

I prepared the ingredients plentifully.

I got it.

Please don't' worry.

General.

Welcome back.

You worked hard, General.

Would you like a cup of raisin tree tea?

It relieves fatigue though.

Save none and kill none.

Touch nothing of the world,

can you manage to live so?

Do you know how hard I've tried to live like that?

Do you know how hard I've tried to live like that?

Whether High Doctor is from heaven or not, that doesn't matter to me.

Just treat wounds that are not fatal, and make soap,

and living with caution is how I've been living.

If there are harmful elements in this world, to remove them is the duty of an administrator like me.

I may not know much about the world but I do know some about the human body.

A person's body needs something a bit dangerous to come in in order to become sturdier.

In order to develop immunity and resistance.

So I want to ask you this.

To not live diligently in case the world becomes dangerous ...

what kind of a dog logic is that?

I understand what you're thinking.

Because of me, history will change? So what?

Did I come from another world? If I live here, then this is my world.

The more I think about how I've been living holding my breath, the more I'm getting pissed.

What? You still insist to kill me? Try it.

And I'll try to live with all my might.

Today, sleep comfortably with your back on the bed. This is from your doctor-in-charge.

Listen to what I say.

A new recruit dares to, to General ... Please.

That antidote research. Any progress?

I do miss those sterlized tools, like the extraction tool.

If I had a microscope, I'd be so grateful.

The biggest issue is time.

Proper temperature and proper environment is most important.

But that's not happening so I'm waiting and waiting some more.

At first I pretended I didn't know my heart.

I turned the other way.

No matter how hard I try to hide it ...

What's that expression. It's not the first time.

I can't hide it. My two eyes ...

Try to pull.

Harder.

My footsteps ...

But nothing particularly wrong. Did this happen before? Since when?

Because I lack sleep. So let's get some sleep.

I'm alright, since love is painful.

I'm alright, since love is painful.

My heart that malfunctions ...

it wants to have you.

Because it's you it aches.

And because it's you I live again.

An official notice came from Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

Prince Deok Heung's questioning will be carried out at Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

They are asking for Your Majesty's attendance to monitor the occassion.

It's not good, Your Majesty. To go to Eastern Expansion Headquarters at a time like this,

it is very bad, Your Majesty.

He'll come. If it's the King I have thus seen.

If it were me, I would definitely not come.

Your Highness is someone who puts himself as priority.

But the King is one who prizes what others see, so he will come.

I have no interest in the likes of politics so I don't really know.

You have no interest in politics?

I don't. All I care about is the seat.

We make a good combination then.

Since I have no interest in the seat.

Why does it matter so much what others see.

That is something I don't comprehend.

Until you are seated, please do consider what others see.

In today's inquiry, the Yuan Dansa Officer will be present.

Answer each question well.

Of course. If the King comes, then we'll capture him and use him as a hostage to requisition the army.

A bloodless change of king.

I'll do that for you first.

Next ...

A matter of bloodshed, I will see to it separately.

This means Your Majesty, you yourself will be the bait.

Since I am not too familiar with fishing.

Must you do this?

If my action can mobilize the statesmen, isn't it worth an attempt?

We don't know how atrocious their acts might be, Your Majesty.

How far would they go, those guys?

The highest priority in our operation,

is to escort Your Majesty safely in and out of it.

The state inqury will be held in this Inquiry Room.

It's best we don't let them know our armies are on standby.

The task of escorting His Majesty into the Headquarters will be restricted to us Woodalchi.

If they find out our entire armies are on standby, they will summon the private armies of the powerful houses.

Then we will be at a definitive disadvantage.

Accordingly, only us Woodalchi will be His Majesty's bodyguards.

These twelve will be close guards and the rest just to follow into the Headquarters.

Most of the Woodalchi troops will be out.

Since we have so many new recruits, we have no choice.

We don't really have a way to divide them.

So this place will be quite empty.

Later, I'll go visit the Queen briefly.

And the rest of the time, I'll sit without a flicker so don't worry.

How's your hand? Try to move it.

If any bit of strangeness should occur, you will tell your doctor-in-charge right away.

You're not going to answer?

For a new recruit, you are so, very, impudent.

It's all done, General.
