My Lady!

What happened?

My lady!

...Did you sleep well?

What happened?

Why am I... with you?

Don't let it trouble you, General.

Please tell me. What happened?

It was my father's wish.

What?

You mean to tell me that it wasn't a dream?

Yes

I served you, General.

What?

At my father's command, I served shi-chim.

What? Shi-chim?

What do you mean, my lady?

Shi-chim?!?

Husband, how could you? Have you turned mad?

Do not make a fuss over something that is already done.

How could you do this to our precious daughter?

I've told you repeatedly that General Wang will

be our son-in-law!

Shi-chim is not a promise of marriage, it is one night

of service in bed!

Yes, but General Wang will not be our son-in-law without

such measures.

Good god!

Must you go this lengths to acquire a son-in-law?

General Wang is a man of duty and loyalty.

You may call this shi-chim, but the end result will be different.

Who can foresee the end?

I can. It was a decision for us and for our future.

Do not speak of this ever again. Everything will turn out well.

Taskmaster!

Yes, Sire

Instruct everyone to prepare for His Majesty's arrival!

Yes, Sire

Now please bring my robe. This will be a busy day.

Goodness...! This is outrageous!

I've commited an unforgivable offense.

I was most intoxicated, but this is inexcusable.

Please forgive me, my lady.

What is there to forgive? It was merely one night.

Please forget about it.

My lady, how can you say that?

I know well of who you are, and I've known your father's desire.

Things have become complex, but I can not ignore you when you've

offered me your chastity.

I will bear my responsibility.

General...!

Give me your trust.

I don't know what to say...

I did not wish to speak of responsibilities...

To be honest, I desired eternal solitude.

I thought life would be easier that way.

But I things don't always workout the way one plans.

Give me your trust, my lady. I will not you wrong.

Thank you.

I'm facing a tremendous task right now.

I will prepare a ceremony upon my return.

General...

My lady, you are requested at the main manor!

Dry your tears, my lady.

General Wang, what clear day it is.

Yes... Did you sleep well?

Yes, very well. And you?

Yes... I...

A good wine makes for a good night of sleep.

Let us go. Other royal retainers are already in waiting.

What nice day it is! We will be leaving, wife.

Yes

Koryo's territory is not large.

It only took three days to get from Chulwon to Jungju.

Your Majesty, that is because Jungju is quite close.

It would take many day to go from one end of Koryo the other.

No. An empire should at least be 2, 500 miles in all directions

like Tang of China or the old territory of Shi-hwang.

Your empire soon will be, Your Majesty.

You've taken your first step by visiting Chulwon.

Yes

Jungju... That is Jungju Port...

Welcome, Your Majesty.

Commander Yum,

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your royal retainers await to receive you at the port.

Is that right? Is general Wang present as well?

Yes. He awaits your command in perfect readiness.

Yes... As I expected...

Her majesty the Empress is on route to Jungju upon hearing

of your travel plans.

The empress?

Wonderful! I was intent on summoning her.

Geumsung invasion is a crucial operation that could determine

the fate of this kingdom. It is fitting for the empress

to give her encouragement. My empress is wise indeed.

Let us go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Lead us.

Yes

Your Majesty, Welcome.

Welcome.

All of you have worked very hard.

I'm glad you've come, Empress.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Was your trip to Chulwon pleseant?

Yes, indeed.

I've learned much, and I'm hundred times glad that I went.

Chulwon will be an excellent platform for our kingdom.

We shall discuss that another time.

Are you ready to move our your fleet, General Wang?

Yes, Your Majesty.

We have total of 2,100 main naval officers divided into 7 divisions,

and over 100 battleships to be landed in Geumsung.

In addition, 3000 intryman and cavalryman will support

the main force, and we estivale supporting forces of another

3000 in Geumsung.

I am very proud.

Ascend, Your Majesty.

All subjects will listen.

Yes

I've witnessed the mighty presence of our naval force.

There is nothing these soldiers and the generals who command

these soldiers can not accomplish. I comand you for hard work.

All of this is General Wang Guhn and Lord Yu's work.

Indeed it is.

Their distinguished services will not go unrecognized.

Your grace is immeasurable.

General Wang

Yes, Your Majesty.

Receive this sword.

With this, I declare you Supreme Commander of the naval force.

I am truly honored, Your Majesty.

All warriors who are partaking in this operation will listen.

Yes

I have conveyed all authority pertaining to Geumsung landing

operation to General Wang. Regardless of seniority in

age or rank, anyone who brings injury to General Wang's

authority will answer to strict military law.

Yes

General Wang will reveal my dignity to the world

and glorify my name. I do not doubt him.

Your grace is immeasurable. I will do so without fail.

Unification of the Three Kingdoms is not afar.

Shilla is dwindling, and General Wang is about to

break Bekjae's back. Unificatin will undoubtedly be mine.

Yes, Your Majesty.

When will you set sail?

It will be sometime between tomorrow night and the morning

after. We are waiting for the high tide.

Since Jungju and Geumsung are both in western sea,

we must wait for the favorable tide to set sail.

I see. How about the others generals?

They are in stand by position at the base with their troops.

It is only two days to Geumsung.

We are in complete readiness, so cast aside your worries.

How can we? It is a war on the sea.

General Wang has lived on the sea since young age.

Yes, but

Brother Guhn, you and I will be subjects of worldwide

attention though this war.

We will be declared heroes of our time.

How could a subject be placed in the category of his master?

Please withdraw your remark.

Excessive modesty is immodesty. You will be a hero. You will.

This kingdom will have a new start upon your return.

It will have a new name and a new imperial city.

...I beg you to discuss that another time...

Everyone needs to know my intent.

I've made up my mind about Chulwon, and I will promptly

proceed with the relocation.

His Majesty is wise. Delay will only result in regrets.

Fight hard, and send us word of triumph.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

General Wang's secret agents have returned from Geumsung.

Secret agents?

My cousin and General Yi has been in Geumsung as

operatives of this mission. It seems they have returned.

Oh, that is right. Then you must go to them.

Yes, Your Majesty. Well then...

I will see you again, Your Highness.

Be careful, General Wang.

Thank you, Your Highness.

This is a wonderful night... One I shall remember...

One that will leave an imprint in our history...

Master,

You've returned. We will be moving out the fleet soon.

We've heard.

You've done excellent work.

Let us go inside.

Everything looks favorable, but even what seems most

infallible could go wrong.

Yes, But Lord Oh and lady Doyoung were meticulous in their work.

Yes, my lord. I think we can trust them.

Most soldiers have been sent home, and only Sudal's direct

subordinates are guarding the mountain and seaside.

The entire kingdom is watching us, and His Majesty is here as well.

We must succeed, or I have agreed to surrender our lives.

Shilla has agreed to hold Kyun-hwon's army back for

us at Kangju and our naval force is well trained.

Everything looks good so far.

Yes. Even the wind is blowing south in our favor.

All conditions are in your favor, master. Do not be over anxious.

Geumsung will be ours in just a few days.

No. We must stay alert. We are the main unit of this operation.

We must not let our guard down.

Of course not.

Tomorrow night...

What time is the hight tide?

Between 1:00 to 3:00 a.m.

I'm sure Kyun-hwon is aware of our operation by now.

They may caught off guard, but they are experienced warriors.

There's no room for mistakes.

Shilla still has not taken any countermeasures, you say?

No, They are only reports of standart military activities.

That is odd... Are they so scared that they are paralysed?

Give us an order of attack.

This state of idleness is most frustrating.

General Chu, I am just as frustrated as you are.

But the vice prime minister suggests practicing caution.

Yes. Koryo's movements are suspicious, and we have yet

confirmed their actions. I believe caution is due.

I concur, Your Majesty.

Yes, but this pause is dampening the spirit of the soldiers.

Vice Prime Minister, has there been any new reports

from Geumsung or Koryo?

I heard you've sent communication to Geumsung.

Yes. I'm deeply concerned...

General Sudal was disgruntled by my order for him to stay behind.

Although I repeatedly explained the importance of Geumsung, he

did not seem to fully understand.

He will come around.

Why haven't we heard back from Koryo?

If what Vice Prime Minister is worried about confirms to

be a fact, we will have to reconsider everything!

They don't have the means to execute a landing operation

in Geumsung. They would need double the number of our defense

force and hundreds of battleships.

But if they've been preparing for this in secrecy for a long

time, an unimaginable event could transpire.

Koryo's General wang guhn is an expert mariner.

I fear he might be involved in the recent activities of Jungju.

Even if that is the case, we have sudal

and sufficient military power in Geumsung to resist them.

Let us wait to hear from our informers in Jungju.

Everything is as expected, my lady.

Yes

The defense has slackened not only here, but in Aphaedo,

and all along the river approaching Geumsung.

Yes. I've confirmed it myself.

Nobles have their private militia prepared to move out in a pinch.

Father has taken effective measures. Let's go.

Why have you brought these gifts?

We wanted to pay you back for your great kindness some how.

I hope it pleases you, Sire.

I haven't done much...

You've allowed us to go back to our families and

return to work. We are eternally grateful.

Accept their token of gratitude, General.

I will accept them in kindness.

Thank you.

Monuments will be erected in your honor all over Geumsung.

Oh, that is quite unnecessary. You may return.

Yes, General.

Citizens have good hearts.

They're moved by slightest favors.

Yes, but no one cares for them like you do, General.

General, a messenger has brought communication from Kangju.

kangju? You mean from His Majesty?

Yes. Here it is.

What matter does it concern?

Has His Majesty lost all trust for me?

There are unusual activities in Koryo, and I am to fortify

our defense.

Is that right?

This has to be the work of the vice prime minister.

What does he have against me that he can't leave me alone?

How could Jungju possibly attack Geumsung?

Is that what they suspect?

Why is the vice prime minister doing this to me?

He should just say so if he has hard feelings for me!

Koryo doesn't have a naval force, and Wang Guhn wouldn't

dare challenge me!

Yes. That is a bit far fetched.

His Majesty should trust me and focus on the war with Shilla!

Return, and advise them to cast aside their worries.

No one will dare attempt war on us as long as I am here!

What? Wang Guhn of Koryo may be moving his naval force in

Jungju, so take all precautions?

Is taht right?

Wang Guhn...?

I can't believe they are fearful of that child!

I'm appalled! How could he possibly come here?

All preparations are complete.

Each of you must use all your means to assist General Wang

once his troops move into your village.

This is a matter of life and death.

We've chosen General wang, and our governor is standing with us.

You've decided be one with us because too much sacrifice has

been demanded on us for too long.

Yes! They've exacted everything to pay for wars!

I am sick of it!

Taxes, forced labor, forced military conscription!

This was a decision for survival.

Everyone here is indebted to you in one way or another, Lord Oh.

Just give us your command.

We just want to survive!

Yes. General Wang is a warrior of honor.

I would venture to say he is unmatched in all three kingdoms.

He has given us his word. All that we produce willbe ours.

In other words, there will be no taxes.

No taxes? Is that true?

That was his promise, and he is a man of his words.

That is why we've decided put our faith in him.

Return to your homes and await your instructions.

You must not listen to anyone accept us. Do you understand?

Yes.

Let us get up now.

Return safely.

Everything is complete.

Yes.

Two days...

The world will change in just two days.

Yes, Father.

Two days until our fate will be decided...

A good world will come, Father.

General Wang will not let us down.

Do you trust General Wang that much?

What choice do we have?

Was truly a warrior of all warriors like you say?

Yes. He is the first true hero I've ever met.

That is also a first -- a compliment from you about a man.

I never thought I'd ever say this, but...

he was a man worthy of being my husband.

What? Worthy of being your husband?

Yes, Father.

That is wonderful!

Then is General Wang a bachelor?

Yes, Father.

Lord Oh!

Welcome.

We must act fast.

What's wrong?

Kyun-hwon has sent a letter to Sudal ordering him to take

extra precautions as Wang Guhn of Koryo may attack Geumsung.

Pardon?

Kyun-hwon has found out! They know!

Even if they do, they are too far away from here.

They can't lead their troops here in two days.

Geumsung will have a new owner in two days.

Two days...

Let us go.

This area is off limits to the public.

I've come to see the general! The general!

Lady Buyong!

I will join you soon.

What brings you here, my lady?

Did you walk here all alone from your estate?

Yes...

...I wanted to serve you a glass hot wine before you

set sail for battle. I'm sorry...

Hot wine...?

It is in my prayer of your triumph and safety.

I ran here hoping to find you before you left.

Thank you, my lady.

I was just about to get on board.

I could not ignore your kind thought.

I will drink.

Please come back alive.

I will be waiting for you.

Thank you, my lady.

I vow to you once more.

I will be your husband. Wait for me.

Thank you.

Well then...

I, Wang Guhn, have received your imperial command to

invade Geumsung.

Now I seek to execute that command.

I've witnessed your readiness in the last two days.

You will triumph.

Go forward! And glorify my name!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Not only will I give you Geumsung;

I will bring the entire Three Kingdoms at your feet.

I command you by His Majesty's words!

All aboard!

Depart for battle!

Raise the sails!

Raise the sails!

Clear the port!

Clear the port!
