Episode 20

Inside my mind I have killed you over and over countless times.

Because you're the one who killed my one and only friend.

Because you're someone I can never forgive.

Every time I met you, I couldn't kill you.

Even though I knew for certain that you were the king,

I wanted to believe that you weren't.

If it has to end with my death,

then cut me down.

But does it really end only if I die?

How many more do you have to kill for it to end?

If you kill the royal council and the noblemen, will it end?

No. Someone will fill that seat and do the same thing again.

Then who are you going to kill?

I wanted to change Silla with you.

Because there would no longer be a bone rank system, I thought that there would be no more loss of lives.

Beyond the tiny Silla kingdom, I wanted to dream of unifying the three kingdoms.

But if this means the end,

then cut me down.

With this, there is no longer any debt between you and me.

Does it end with this?

Because you and I have different paths to take.

Then when I meet you again,

you would be my enemy.

We should change the king.

Then, are you saying that you will bring Jin Heung down and place a new king in his position?

No. I'm saying that I won't have a king at all.

It wouldn't be a king, but

I would establish an illusion of someone with sacred bone rank only in name.

Who is that?

The Hwarang who played the role of king in Baekje. Son of Hwi Gyeong Gong, Seon Woo.

Hwi Gyeong Gong, the cast off sacred bone?

Do you mean he was the son of Hwi Gyeong Gong?

No matter how weak she may have become, the Queen Dowager won't sit idly by.

When the prior king died, it was Ji So who protected the Crown Prince by herself.

Now, there is justification for a succession of the sacred bone.

That's why we should take it away.

Did you obtain your assets, power, and position for free?

The people may think of it as a rebellion.

The people?

No matter how they are dominated and oppressed,

the people will bow their heads while licking our boots.

What are you afraid of?

Making this Silla ours is what I am talking about.

That way, your storage rooms will continue to be filled in the future.

Timing and Subtitles by the Flower Knights @ Viki

Pa Oh.

As soon as dawn breaks, bring Wonhwa Ah Ro to Wolseong (the palace).

Jin Heung is taking Ahn Ji Gong's daughter to the palace?

We got there too late.

We have surely missed the chance to use her as bait to control Seon Woo.

The task has gotten complicated.

Yeong Sil Gong, a guest has arrived.

Come in.

This is an interesting picture.

Seeing you here, I think there is also a resemblance.

We came like this because I think it's time that we should discuss something important.

Have you decided to wield power and not submit to it?

It appears you heard the news that Jin Heung captured Ahn Ji Gong's daughter.

We should change

the owner of Silla.

What help can I offer?

There is no help you can offer. Because I will be with the Hwarang.

Then what should I do?

From your position together with the other members of the Royal Council, crown me as the king.

Whether you fly or crawl,

in the end, I will be the one to have Silla in my grasp.

The owner of Silla has never changed. It will be the same this time as well.

Abdicate? Did you say abdicate?

You must so that I can get power.

Before that, marry Sook Myeong.

Is leaving that position that difficult ?

Do you still see me only as a mother who covets the throne?

To protect the throne you should be cold-blooded.

The King must be able to end a friend's life.

A king with ridiculous compassion will throw his country into devastation

in the end, cause the death of all the people. But,

a cold-hearted king will kill when he can kill the least amount of people

most quickly and cruelly.

If you do that, there is no need to kill more.

To hold the position, must the king kill someone no matter what?

Do you think the Hwarang are yours?

The Hwarang think Seon Woo as the Crown Prince.

After saying he is the king and risking his life, you watched him saving the people right in front of you.

But, do you think the Hwarang will follow you?

I will make the Hwarang mine.

How?

As you said, I should find the fastest method

for me with the least deaths.

You said you'd be king, I guess you haven't become one yet.

"There is no path that pre-existed." Do you remember?

There is no path in the world that pre-existed. Someone had to walk on it first for it to become one.

Firm soil must be beaten, broken, and paved through so that a waterway can form for the first time.

So, you plan to make a waterway by beating, breaking, and paving your way?

Because I can no longer be a horse on a chessboard.

Don't allow order created by someone else to become yours by staying silent.

You are not a horse on a chessboard. You are Hwarang, freer than anyone else in this world.

I will no longer stay silent.

You won't stay silent? Have you decided on a rebellion?

A king without power cannot do anything. What Silla needs right now

is a strong king with the will to change Silla.

I need your help.

In the end, are you asking me to lead a rebellion?

I will leave the decision to you.

Please keep the Hwarang together when you return. If they scatter now, we can't end things properly.

Why are you sure that I will help you?

Because you probably have the same heart as I do.

Silla's future depends on it. Poong Wol Joo.

It's my goal.

Announce me.

That'll be all. You may leave.

I saw her put something in the tea.

- Give it to me.- It may be poison.

I told you to give it to me.

Without knowing what it is, I cannot let you drink it.

It's not a poison that shows symptoms right away. It must build up for a while

for the symptoms to show.

You drank it even though you knew?

I suspected it from the start.

Your Majesty!

I will call a doctor.

Don't make a fuss.

Anyway, I've had the symptoms for a while.

I must do this in order to keep you by my side and look at you.

I heard you were hurt. Is your wound okay?

It's alright. However,

if I hadn't come here, it would've healed faster.

It doesn't matter if it heals slowly. Anyway, you won't be able to leave this place.

I took you as hostage. A hostage so that your brother

can't threaten my throne.

This is unlike you.

Did you forget that I share my Mother's blood?

Perhaps through this opportunity, you may get to know me properly.

Are you really going to dominate Seonmoon?

They're my Hwarang. I'm not dominating them, they were mine from the beginning.

I must suppress them now. Otherwise, I won't be able to control them.

It is His Majesty, Jin Heung. Open the door!

W-who is...that? Ji Dwi? Hwarang Ji Dwi?

If your clothes change, does your personality change too? He's exactly like the Queen Dowager.

Cold and heartless.

Hwarang, show your respect to His Majesty.

I'm Hwarang's lord, Jin Heung.

What I saw of you while I was in the Hwarang was laziness and weakness.

Not to mention that you were spoiled because you came from families with power.

But now, under the Silla royal family's control, the Hwarang

will be reborn as strong warriors from head to toe.

Is something different about the king who's standing over there?

Because being weak and having no power seems to be the same for both sides...yo. (indicates formal speech)

Seon Woo, pay your respects.

Seon Woo, I told you to pay your respects.

In three days, there will be an abdication. You, as the royal family's bodyguards,

- and as Hwarang whose duty is to protect the king, do your utmost! - The Hwarang!

must be free.

The Hwarang can dream of Silla's future when they are free to act and think for themselves.

I'm sure you've probably heard this before...yo.(formal speech)

Are you taking a stand against me right now?

I'm saying we will decide whether or not to accept you as the King!

Do you not have the confidence to be chosen?

There are two kings inside Seonmoon?

What's exactly going on?

Come here.

According to someone in the know, the king might change.

- Huh?- What?

Hey, what does that mean?

Seon Woo, I thought he was a half-blooded Cheonin.

He was a hidden sacred bone.

Hey, I knew he was a superior guy but

you saw how he was after Ji Dwi earlier, right?

What do you mean by Ji Dwi? It's His Majesty, Jin Heung.

Dominate the Hwarang? Ji Dwi is the object of dislike.

Ah Ro.

Your sister is alright.

Right now, she's at the Wonhwa palace...

I know.

I was thankful for that time.

Also,

I'm sorry.

Because I'm not a suitable man for you.

It's natural to be sorry.

Treating a woman like me this way.

Although I'm not a good man for you,

you are a good woman.

So,

meet a man who shares the same heart as you.

Tea?

Did you just say tea?

It seems to have been going on for a long time.

Already,

she's coughing blood...

She told me not to reveal it, but I cannot leave her that way.

What are you doing?

Is it Park Yeong Sil?

I asked you if the one who put you up to this

is Park Yeong Sil.

Pa Oh!

Please command me, Your Majesty.

Kill her.

Please spare my life!

Spare my life, Your Majesty!

Your Highness, Queen Dowager!

Your Majesty, please spare my life!

Why did you do that?

What do you mean?

Knowing that it was poison,

exactly why did you drink it?

Why?!

I didn't know.

When I knew, it was too late. Even if I had refused the tea,

they would have used a different method.

Why didn't you run away?

Queen Dowager or whatever, and throwing away the throne,

you should've run away instead.

I tried to run away.

I wanted to avoid them.

However,

I had to live my fate. If there's something to protect,

become strong.

You have to be strong in order to fight.

Don't trust a human's small heart.

A king

must do that, Jin Heung.

Are you asking me to return as Poong Wol Joo again?

That's right.

Then,

are you thinking of going against the Queen Dowager's orders?

My will is the Queen Dowager's will. My will is also Silla's will.

It's good to see you again.

Have you all been well?

Yes, Poong Wol Joo!

The reason I'm standing here today

is because I heard you were given quite a difficult task.

I trust that this decision

will be one that will create a different Silla than before.

Also, I'm certain that you've grown enough

to make that choice.

Someone may call this a rebellion.

Another may call this a duty.

You are the ones who will be making the decision.

Whether you'll become Hwarang who will change this kingdom from the roots, or

whether you'll remain as useless entities incapable of doing anything, you decide.

If you've decided, trust yourself till the end.

You are Hwarang.

The fact that you are Hwarang

never, ever forget it.

Is something the matter?

Did you ask me why I lived asking myself over and over

why I had to be king?

I've never, not even once given up.

Did you say you could tell by looking into my eyes?

Yes.

That's how you appeared.

It would be nice if everything you said was correct.

Your heart has never been moved,

I guess I'm the only one who is thrashing about like this.

I heard from the Queen Dowager that she will be abdicating today.

That's right.

Today, I'm going to become the real king.

Right now, are you looking worried for me?

Because the throne seems like a lonely place,

from that kind of place, I'm afraid it'll be more difficult for you to sleep.

I should say thank you.

Because of you I became stronger.

Thanks to you I was able to get here.

♫ Promise me. ♫

Hwi Gyeong Gong.

Isn't it Hwi Gyeong Gong?

They have to appear at the right time.

The reason why we are all gathered here today

- To lead Silla - Halt!

Do you really think you're the owner of that position?

We members of the Royal Council have a different opinion.

How dare you! Don't you know where you are?

I, Silla's Gakgan, Park Yeong Sil, believe that a different Sacred Bone,

Seon Woo, the son of Hwi Gyeong Gong should be crowned king.

Today, the Hwarang has selected a king for the future.

We Hwarang, in this place, would like to pledge allegiance

before his Majesty who will listen to his people

and make Silla strong.

Hwarang pledge your allegiance

for Silla and the Lord of Silla

with the spirit of Silla!

Long live, Your Majesty Jin Heung! subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Long live Your Majesty, Jin Heung! Long live Your Majesty, Jin Heung!

Long live Your Majesty, Jin Heung! Long live Your Majesty, Jin Heung!

Long live Your Majesty, Jin Heung! Long live Your Majesty, Jin Heung!

Traitor Park Yeong Shil, who planned a rebellion aimed at His Majesty's life,

receive your punishment for your sin now!

Also, if you have the same sentiment as this man, step forward now!

The swords of the Hwarang will never forgive!

I wanted to change Silla with you.

No longer because of the bone rank system

would lives be lost.

Beyond this tiny Silla, I wanted to dream of the unification of the Three Kingdoms.

Can your dream

become a reality?

It won't be easy.

But if you don't even try and do nothing but breathe,

then even if you survive, that's not living.

What if I

eliminate those who want to kill you.

Can you change Silla?

The throne is yours now.

So make the change you dream of. Do everything to the best of your ability.

So that I won't disappoint you

I will go on that path to the end.

I, Silla's king Jin Heung

together with the Hwarang, will think of the people first

and lead a strong Silla with a plan for a thousand years!

Then, what kind of qualities does the king you have in mind possess?

The people are happy while the king is tormented.

The people don't worry about the kingdom,

But it's a kingdom where the king worries about his people.

That's the kind of king I have in mind.

These rascals.

Whatever it is I caught, I must've done it properly.

I'm sorry.

Because I couldn't tell you sooner.

If that's your decision, I respect it.

I am proud of you.

If your mother also saw you like this, she would be happy.

- Why?- You thief!

What do we do know?

Hurry and get out! Quickly!

Long live His Majesty, Jin Heung!

Long live His Majesty, Jin Heung!

You really,

came all the way here with your own strength

It's a relief

that you weren't late.

Now,

I will carry the burden. The burden called Silla.

Do you,

think that I hated you?

Do you

think that I hated you?

I know. That you protected both

Silla and me.

I will also protect it.

Although it may be different from your way, but in my own way.

Most certainly,

I will make Silla strong.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

How is she?

She's no different from a corpse.

I have something

to say to you.

Please stay by her side.

I beg of you.

Rather,

it would've been better to die at your hands.

Earlier,

why didn't you tell me not to drink the tea?

For sure,

you worried about me.

I tried to let you go.

I couldn't let go of you.

No matter how hard I tried,

in the end,

I wanted to go by your side.

I tried to hate you.

I tried to kill you.

But,

I couldn't do so.

I'm sorry.

Did everything work out well?

Yes.

His Majesty told me to give you this.

Did you resent me who locked you up here?

It was the only choice I could make to protect you from Gakgan.

If I see your face, because I think I will not be able to let you go again,

because I think I'll become greedy again.

Go. Don't make him wait too long.

Go to him.

♬ When you only offer me tears, what can I do?♬

♬ I'm afraid of being suspended a long time somewhere in memory♬

♬ I'm afraid the more I try to wipe it out, the more I will be left yearning♬

♬ So I can't let you go ♬

♬ Although you and I became tears for each other♬

Was I too late?

♬ After time passed on a bright day♬

Now I really won't leave you alone.

I promise.

♬ I will remember ♬

♬ There is only one person wiping my tears and holding my heart♬

♬ Twelve months will pass and coming again like the seasons♬

♬ You also will return to me.♬

If I am to tell you with this,

which gives the inside scoop about every nobleman in the capital,

"Composite Survey of Nobleman in the Capital", volume two.

So then, a briefing

is an extra silver coin. Will you go for it?

Here.

Now my debt is fully paid.

It's the legendary woman who received the love of two men of the sacred bone.

Her circumstance is the same as it was before.

Well, then how was I supposed to change?

Ah, well, you know. Dressed luxuriously in silk and gold?

Well, that kind of stuff?

That kind of stuff?

You waited long, right? Let's go and have a lot of fun.

But why are you always taking someone else's child all the time? If you're bored, why don't you date?

But, at one time you said you were a bachelor.

There needs to be someone, do you do it alone?

He said he wouldn't leave me alone.

When am I supposed to date!

Father is in his room.

Instead of continuing to hide things like this, wouldn't it be better just to—

After Father Gagkan became like that, you're left without any connections.

Without both a distinguished family and no property, it's natural that he opposes you.

Yes, well...

Instead, you have my love.

Crown Prince Chang?

In alliance with the Degaya, it seems he's thinking of attacking our Gwansa Fortress..

Now we'll be seeing each other only when there's some sort of issue.

If I'm here, I'll only cause problems with talk of another sacred bone or whatever being here. Why ask when you already know?

Hey, if you were going to be so cool, why didn't you be king?

This, looks quite nice.

This Dog-Bird.

It's been six months since you've arrived in the capital. Have you seen Ah Ro?

He could have written even a bit of news.

He should at least provide some assurance.

Just end it! There's nothing to lose.

Have you been fine?

I've come.

Because I have a bad memory, I have no idea who you are.

♫ Your cold signs are causing my heart to fall ♫

♫ Ever so slowly like a wilting flower

You couldn't have forgotten me?

♫ Damn this love only because of you ♫

♫ Even if it hurts, I can't stop ♫

♫ Even if it kills, for me still it is you ♫

You're beautiful. Amazingly so.

♫ And falling into a black hell ♫

♫ You are that existence to me ♫

♫ Don't leave me. Don't leave me. ♫

Let's get married.

♫ You who are turning away turn your feet toward me ♫

This won't work for me because I miss you.

♫ I request and want you, you are everything in my life ♫

♫ Please carry me off on the dispersing light ♫

♫ Until the world ends ♫

♫ It’s gonna be you ♫

I missed you.
