Episode 53

They're making Soekkop a prince? [Wiryegung, Hanseong, Baekje]

Yeogu's preparing for peaceful times.

Eoraha's preparing for after he dies?

It means he's preparing the prince's surroundings.

Do you think that's all?

What do you think?

He could just make Soekkop a general.

He doesn't have to make him a prince.

He wants to make Soekkop a prince because he's older than Yeogeun.

Why should that matter when Soekkop's from a low class?

I'll go to the ceremony myself and try to find out what's going on.

Soekkop's the Wiryegung ruler's son. [Taehak, Hanseong Palace]

You let this happen knowing that?

Please lower your voice.

The queen must've lost her sense of judgement.

He's not a prince yet, I've to stop this.

I suggested it to Her Majesty.

I'd like your confirmation before you make Soekkop a prince. [Anpyeongjeon, Hanseong Palace]

Yeogeun's the only prince to take Eoraha's place.

Nobody must know that Seokkop's the Wiryegung ruler's son.

He'll be my son and my son only.

Even if the queen won't accept him as foster son,

do you think Eoraha would let his son be a blacksmith's son?

He'll have the Wiryegung ruler return to the palace or...

No way!

Please lower your voice.

Even in Taehak,

there are always people who are listening.

Will the people and Namdang allow him to call Yeohwa back to the palace?

If not that,

he can always take another queen and make her accept Seokkop as foster son.

If that happens,

Yeogeun and Soekkop will have to fight over the throne.

It's better if the queen can watch him.

It was your idea, take responsibility for it to the end.

I won't let Soekkop get in the way of Yeogeun's future.

The whole world knows that Yeogeun's my successor.

Even so, you're the one who decides your successor.

Yeogeun cares about the people and he likes academics.

He has the talent to become a great ruler.

I'm going to raise Seokkop like Yeohwi.

He'll be loyal and strong.

He'll be a trustworthy sword for Yeogeun and a reliable brother.

Since you say so,

I'll embrace Soekkop as my son.

Soekkop saved Eoraha's life in Gongna. [Dongmyeongjeon]

In Goto, he saved Prince Yeogeun.

The heavens saved Baekje through Soekkop.

The queen asked that Soekkop be her foster son.

Baekje has a new prince today.

Soekkop will step forward.

Is he from Gongna?

Yes.

I told the national grandmother and the former Eorahas about Soekkop.

Soekkop's my son and the queen's son.

I'll give him a new name.

I'll name him Yeogusu.

He's to be called Bu Yeogusu.

We'll obey your command.

I'll give him the Gojingeom sword.

Love Baekje and be loyal with this sword.

I'll obey your command.

I'll serve Prince Yeogeun and give my life for Baekje.

Eoraha's giving you Seongmujeon.

You'll stay there from now on.

I'm honored.

Prince Yeogusu, bow to Eoraha and Her Majesty.

I'm very grateful.

I'll never forget your grace.

Congratulations on getting a new son.

Thank you.

You could just give him some land and make him a general.

Namdang's already full of the low class,

why did you make him a prince?

Eoraha, the Wiryegung ruler's here.

Show her in.

I heard you went to Onchang for health reasons.

I didn't think you'd come.

I thought Wiryegung should attend, so I returned last night.

How is your health?

I'm better, thanks to you.

We'll leave you.

Thank you.

It looks like she has something to say to you.

I'll leave you too.

No need to.

How about a cup of tea?

I was surprised with the reward.

Former Eorahas had foster sons too.

Maybe sons of nobility, but never someone from such low class.

I was always concerned that Yeogeun was lonely.

Soekkop will be like a fence for him.

Who are his parents?

They are people from Mokjiguk.

I see.

It's even more surprising that you make a Mokjiguk boy a prince.

Mahan's part of Baekje now.

His parents must be happy that their son has received such an honor.

Why didn't they attend the ceremony?

It takes courage for a commoner to enter the palace.

Thank you for caring so much about Wanwoldang's foster son.

Isn't it good that the royal family prospers?

[Seongmujeon, Bu Yeogusu's lodging]

The Liaoxi Gungong's giving you ten gwans of gold.

You can use the gold when necessary.

That's too much.

How can I accept this?

You're a prince now, you'll need servants.

You'll need more money than what you get from Naedubu.

Besides, the naedujwapyeong's a bit stingy.

That's slander.

I'm not stingy.

Yes, you are.

I'll accept it with pleasure. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

I've a request.

Go ahead.

I'm only a foster son, but Wanwoldang's my mother now.

If you allow it, I would like to call you uncle.

You're not comfortable with that?

Of course not. It's a great pleasure and honor.

Uncle, teach me a lot and scold me when necessary.

I only have one wish.

Serve Prince Yeogeun well.

I'll remember that.

Wiryegung's here to congratulate you.

Show them in.

It's been a long time.

Yes, it has.

Why didn't you go to Seongmujeon?

Today's Yeogusu's special day.

[Seongjijeon]

Yeogusu's older than you are,

but don't think of him as an older brother.

No, mother.

If we want the people to accept him, shouldn't the royal family set an example?

If that's what you wish.

I'm sorry I didn't ask your opinion about making Yeogusu a prince.

It's not bad.

But, it's not good either?

Congratulations, prince.

Congratulations for becoming a prince.

These are gifts from Wiryegung.

They are precious pearls.

I don't know much about gold or pearls.

These are such valuable pearls.

I'll give them to my mother. Thank you.

Why didn't your biological parents come?

I might be a prince,

but how can I order my parents to come and go?

I'm going to see them tomorrow.

You've a heart more proper than many learned people.

I'm very happy to have met you.

Is your name Hwa?

Yes, why?

Only royalty can use Yeo.

Your name must be Yeohwa.

How do you know my name?

Prince, you don't know the etiquette of the palace yet.

You shouldn't mention her name like that.

Naedujwapyeong, my name isn't that important anymore.

How do you know my name?

I didn't know you wouldn't like Yeogusu to be prince.

It's not that.

You misunderstood.

Then, what is it?

My other brothers are too young.

I was nervous about serving father alone.

I'm glad I've such a reliable older brother now.

However, he did achieve great merit,

but I never realized that you'd make him your foster son.

I'm just surprised.

I'm just confused because I don't know what your intentions are.

There aren't any.

You're lonely.

We just wanted to let you have a brother you could trust.

There's no need to wonder about anything else.

Yes, father.

I would like to know how you know my name.

You must never tell anyone about this.

Not your parents, not the prince, not anybody else.

Keep that in mind.

I learned about people in the royal family, so I wouldn't make any mistakes.

I saw the name Hwa then.

It was such a pretty name.

I wanted to see who she is.

Did the Wiryegung ruler leave?

My heart dropped in Seongmujeon.

Go get it for me.

I don't know if it's pounding or stopped beating.

What's wrong?

I experienced a lot of things, but I was never this shocked.

This won't be the last time.

This can't be.

This won't work.

This really won't work.

[Nampyeongyangseong Fortress, Goguryeo]

What do you think?

Do Yeogu's soldiers have a strong will like mine?

Don't take Baekje soldiers lightly.

Baekje conquered the 54 statelets of Mahan and the seven countries of Gara.

They fought wars for 15 years.

We're overwhelming in number.

This is the perfect time to attack Baekje.

We've 20,000 soldiers, Baekje only has 10,000.

That's not true.

It takes two days from Guangyangcheong to Jangmilgupogu.

At Guangyang, there are 10,000 soldiers led by Wi Birang.

He's right.

Prepare a strategy including the soldiers of Liaoxi.

- I'll obey your command. - Yes, father.

This is all for your sake.

Prince.

There are Goguryeo spies in Baekje and there are Baekje spies in Goguryeo.

They might try to harm you.

I'm skilled in martial arts enough to protect myself.

I'm sure you are.

But...

father really cares for you,

so don't refuse.

I'm honored.

Eoraha, what should I do?

I said I would serve Sayu,

but I feel like a bird in a cage.

Watch him well from now on.

Yes, prince.

He endured all that torture.

Do you still doubt him?

No man could withstand such torture.

I know.

It's easy to die in battle, but it's not easy to endure torture.

He could've said he lied, but he didn't.

Fine. We'll watch him a bit more.

If he does anything suspicious,

we'll cut off his head and send it to Yeogu.

[Miangjeon, Hanseong Palace, Baekje]

I'll get into trouble if the queen finds out.

Leave me alone!

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

I've a new brother.

Shouldn't I celebrate?

Yeojin.

Now in this palace,

nobody remembers Sa Gi anymore.

I don't want to forget him.

Why did you give Sa Gi such a hard time when you'd suffer like this.

Mother.

Get her in bed.

Wherever you are, whoever you're with,

Yeohwa, you're my wife.

The Yeohwa on mother's ribbon is the Wiryegung ruler.

How could mother have her ribbon?

[Wiryegung, Hanseong]

Is your name Hwa?

What are you doing out here?

Find out more about Yeogusu.

What's the problem?

He said he was going to Gongna tomorrow,

find out who his parents are.

Okay, Your Highness.

Why aren't you sleeping?

Eoraha.

Can't you sleep?

You gave me the Gojingeom sword.

I wanted to get to know my sword better.

You wanted to get to know your sword.

It's late.

Why aren't you sleeping, Eoraha?

Don't call me Eoraha when we're alone like this.

You're my son now.

You should call me father.

Go ahead.

Father.

Try it again.

Father.

One more time.

Father,

I...

don't know whether this is a dream or not.

Why are you crying?

I don't know.

Being in your arms like this...

is making me cry.

[Wanwoldang, Hanseong Palace]

Did older brother leave for Gongna?

Yes.

He's not your older brother.

Brother.

You'll be the next Eoraha.

Yeogusu might be your servant, but he can't be your older brother.

[Gongnabu, Cheolsan, Baekje]

Mother!

Father!

Mother!

Father!

Looks like they have left.

My father wouldn't leave.

He wouldn't leave his work like this.

Still, hasn't he left?

But why?

Why did he leave?

Is there any reason for him to leave?

You became a prince.

Maybe they felt that their lowly status would burden you.

Who says a blacksmith's lowly?

That's how parents are.

They want the best for their children.

Mother... father...

Let's go.

I found a place for you to live.

We can leave on our own.

Jwapyeong Hae's following you.

You mustn't know where we're going.

You raised the prince.

How can I let you leave like this?

Nobody must know where we are.

If the jwapyeong finds out, Soekkop will and so will Wiryegung.

There are 1,800 swords here.

I made them very strong for Eoraha to use in conquering Goguryeo.

I tested it on a Goguryeo sword, the Goguryeo sword broke.

I'll give them to Eoraha.

His parents left Gongna? [Wiryegung Palace, Hanseong]

Your Highness, what are you worried about?

You can tell me anything.

I saw Dandani on the street when Princess Yeojin go married.

Your Highness.

Yeogusu did achieve great merit, they can make him their foster son.

He comes from a low class,

but they made him Yeogeun's older brother.

Now, Yeogusu's parents disappeared from Gongna.

I don't want to believe it.

I want to think it's because I'm weak.

But...

But...

I want to know who Yeogusu's parents are and if Dandani's alive.

There's no way.

That can't be.

Yeogusu can't be the Wiryegung ruler's...

No way.

It can't be, but why is your voice trembling? [Jin Jeong's house, Hanseong]

Jojeongjwapyeong.

My heart trembled like your voice when Her Highness told me that.

We've Prince Yeogwang.

He's like a son to Her Highness.

She doesn't need another son.

Battle takes care of many unneccessary things.

Our great plan depends on the war against Goguryeo.

Whether Yeogusu's her son or not isn't that important.

Yeogusu also can be taken care of during the war against Goguryeo.

[Nampyeongyangseong Fortress, Goguryeo]

It has been over 20 years since I lost the Daebang land to Baekjans.

We're going to attack Daebang and then take Ungniha.

My soldiers!

Soldiers of Goguryeo!

We're the descendants of Chumo.

I'm the leader of Ye, Maek and Han.

The land doesn't freeze in October and grass doesn't wither in Baekje.

I'll share that abundant land with all of you!

[Gomoriseong Fortress, Daebang, Baekje]

Sa Gi, why did you betray Baekje and become Sayu's dog?

The true owner of this peninsular's the King of Goguryeo.

Eoraha's coming.

Eoraha...

We killed Bu Gantae.

Put him in a coffin and bury him.

Prince, he betrayed His Majesty and helped Yeogu.

He was a great general.

He deserved that much.

Send Bu Gantae to Yeogu.

Hyungnim, there's no need to provoke Baekje.

They'll be upset when they see Bu Gantae's corpse.

Why give them an excuse to stir things up?

Put this in the coffin.

What is it?

A message suggesting Yeogu surrender.

[Hanseong Palace, Baekje]

You shouldn't throw that.

It would be better to go out with a spear and kill a boar.

This is heavier than a spear.

Do you want to go fishing?

The palace gates will close soon.

We don't have to fish at Ungniha.

I'll catch a carp in Woryeon and cook it with jujubes and chestnuts for you.

Thank you for coming to comfort Yeojin every day.

Sa Gi's a criminal, but isn't he her husband?

I'm sure she's in pain.

Right, prince?

What are you doing?

Mother.

Your Highness.

I should be going now.

Ai.

My lady.

Are you crying?

No, I'm not.

My lady.

Is it because of Prince Yeogeun?

It's because of me.

If I wasn't born in the Jin clan...

If I was pretty and outgoing like the Princess of Yamatai...

You're very pretty.

Prince.

Are you trying to make the Jin clan your enemy?

Yes, I know you're a man.

I'm sure you're interested in women, but everything comes after marrying Ai.

I like Princess Jin Gu.

If you want the Princess of Yamatai,

have her after you marry Ai.

I don't want her to be a royal concubine.

- I want her as... - Prince!

So you're here.

What's wrong, uncle?

Gomori has been taken.

What about General Bu Gantae?

How can Gomori be taken so easily?

Will Eoraha go to war? [Jin Jeong's house, Hanseong]

Of course.

Goguryeo isn't an easy opponent to fight. Neither is Sayu.

All that talk about taking Goguryeo and unifying the peninsula.

We lost Gomori and Bu Gantae died.

Stop it.

This isn't anything to be happy about.

No matter what, hasn't the time come?

He might have been a pirate,

but Wi Birang can't be taken lightly.

The Liaoxi Gungong will remain and protect the palace.

Yes, Eoraha.

Watch the jojeongjwapyeong and the Jin clan.

- Does the Jin clan have other intentions? - Don't make any guesses.

I can't say for sure, but from the way they've been acting.

I wouldn't ignore them.

Mok Nageunja and Mak Gohae will go as generals.

Yes, Eoraha.

- The Prince of Wiryegung should go. - Of course.

The naeboepjwapyeong and Prince Yeogeun will be the strategists.

We'll find a way to conquer Goguryeo.

I'm ready for this.

Yeogusu, you'll go with me.

Yes, Eoraha.

I waited for this day.

- He's taking Yeogwang again? - Of course.

Would he leave the prince here?

This isn't the same as Chimmidarye.

Goguryeo's a powerful country.

He'll feel safe if I'm there.

That's the only way to achieve our great plan.

He's right.

We've to find a way to overpower Wi Birang.

Wi Birang's presence wasn't expected, but it won't ruin our great plan.

Baekje will finally be a country of the nobility.

Don't let Yeogusu achieve merit. [Seongjijeon, Hanseong Palace]

You mustn't give him the chance.

What are you worried about?

I don't want Yeogusu to take your merit.

Yeogusu's a foster son.

He's in no situation to compete for merit with me.

I'm not a fool.

The way father treats him,

why mother accepted him as foster son.

What is it that I don't know?

What are you afraid of?

Who is Yeogusu?

Tell me the truth.

There isn't anything that I shouldn't know in this palace.

Who is Yeogusu?

You're right.

You should know to keep your guard up.

Yeogusu's the son of Eoraha and the Wiryegung ruler.

Uncle.

You must join forces and defeat Goguryeo.

Yes, Eoraha.

I'm ready to fight. Don't worry.

Two dragons can't live in a small ocean,

Baekje and Goguryeo can't exist together.

Me and Sayu can't co-exist.

Yeogu...

Come quickly.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

Goguryeo has a lot of calvary soldiers.

I'll go.

I'll go to Chiyangseong with Wi Birang.

You're going against our plans?

Baekje has to exist for our great plan to be achieved.

Are you saying you're still loyal to Eoraha?

Who is Baekje's enemy right now?

Jeokkigun are the pride of Goguryeo.

It's Goguryeo.

They are elite soldiers.

We can take Chiyangseong before sunset.

My heart's pounding with joy.

Show them Goguryeo's the greatest in this peninsula.

Is Yeogusu's mother Dandani?

Yeohwa, you're my wife.

Why are you showing me this?

Do you serve Yeohwa or Yeogwang?

I only serve Wiryegung.

Is Yeogusu part of Wiryegung or not?

- I can't let you... - Please let me stay by the prince's side.

You can't stay in Baekje any longer.

He's a Baekje spy sent by Sa Gi.

Plan a new strategy.
