Episode 11

I have an unfixable shortcoming.

I tend to get jealous rather severely...

Hence?

I dislike those on that roster.

I do not want to keep them living.

Imprudent words and acts dared not to speak of in front of His Majesty the King.

As the duty of Woodalchi, I can punish him immediately, Your Majesty.

He says he can punish you immediately with one order from me, Prince of the Court from Deokseong.

Have you not come here alone expecting that this might happen?

You must put down such thing as your life,

in front of me, the King,

and spit out such fearless words, right?

Would your subject have committed such a reckless deed without any measures?

Measures?

And the first measure,

I put that in Gonseongjeon where the Queen resides.

And the second measure,

I put it on High Doctor.

The first on the roster,

from what I hear,

met a thief in broad daylight and his life ended.

The second on that roster, indeed met a thief as well, it seems.

So? So what?

But you know already. What you should do.

Your subject will go and come back.

Until then, please extend some time.

Go to Gonseongjeon and relate to Court Lady Choi.

Yes!

Did you see a black wagon pass by?

You know High Doctor, right?

Did you know which way she went? Did you see?

I said, which one among the three?

This is why coaxing with talking is irritating.

Can't I just kill them?

I'll ask you one last time. If you don't answer . . .

So what? If I answer who among the three, what are you going to do?

He said to get rid of the one you cherish the most among the three first.

He said to tame you so, until you are properly docile.

Tame?

Yup, that's our pledged brother's method.

If he desires someone and wants that person,

he clears those around that person first.

Until that person has nowhere else to go under the skies, except for pledged brother.

By chance.

By chance what?

Giving poison to Prince Kyeong Chang . . . was also?

Of course, our pledged brother gave it to him.

Though the one who had that young one eat it was Choi Young.

You didn't know? But you knew.

So what should we do? Kill who first? Just hurry and give me an answer, whoever it is.

Do as you please.

What?

That nonsensical question of yours, I won't answer!

So you people do as you please.

What about your patient we captured?

If you are going to be a pest, that child will have to die first.

Do that then.

Out of my way.

You people can't kill me yet. That much I know.

Other people besides me? Kill them or whatnot.

It's not my business.

Two.

Three.

Five.

High Doctor.

That woman is just leaving.

Is it really a non-matter?

About others dying or not, other than herself?

Should I find out?

Are you guys the ones who murdered innocent lives in broad daylight?

On top of that . . .

you kidnapped the High Doctor.

Capture those things and have them kneel.

Stop it! I said to stop it!

General, those things killed scholars and had High Doctor . . .

What are you going to do? Continue or back away?

What do we do?

If we fight them, it will get long.

Well, since I think I already know what I wanted to know.

Regardless of what, that one beside you must be the first, right?

He always runs to you and finds you.

Each time, without fail.

Let's meet again then.

Will you just let those go, General?

Halt. They are not ones you can handle.

Are you alright?

Escort the High Doctor to the Royal Medical Office and you go on standby there.

What you want...

is for me to do nothing?

Though I've become a king, I shouldn't even play the role of a king?

Right now, just why Your Majesty is put to a corner,

while I am so dignified, do you know it? Right now, just why Your Majesty is put to a corner,

while I am so dignified, do you know it?

It is because Your Majesty still holds too many lingering feelings.

And among those,

the biggest is your lingering desire to become a good king.

A good king who is extolled by the citizenry.

And that is what displeases you?

A king who cherishes his people . . . the people,

they don't really want such a thing.

They don't want it?

The people!

They are ones who are filled with discontent and gripe no matter what you do for them.

So you trick them and suppress them suitably.

And you just need to feed them.

But if you feed them too much, they'll rebel.

So suitably . . . scantly.

The Queen is well in Gonseongjeon.

And High Doctor has returned to Royal Medical Office safely as well.

Those people?

What's happened to the personnel on the roster?

Within the fortress of Gae Kyeong, five have lost their lives.

At each of their deaths, a sentence was left.

Ji (know) . . .

Gwa (fault) . . .

Pil (must) . . .

Gye (duty) . . .

If you know your fault, you must fix it.

It was noted so.

Five you said?

That much should be a plenty warning, not just for Gae Kyeong, but for the entire land of Goryeo, no?

Hence?

Now, anyone who is to become a person of mine,

shall no longer come forward?

Well, perhaps fewer?

This month's full-moon (fortnight), there will be a royal sermon.

On that day, my people will teach me about the virtues of a king.

Minister, you come and listen as well.

Your Majesty's people, did you say?

In this Goryeo,

ones who don't succumb to a threat and ones who are not satisfied by a "suitable" feed,

that they are people who desire a proper king.

I shall show it to you.

I understand. This month's full-moon.

I shall look forward to Your Majesty's people.

Then, until then.

General.

Your Majesty.

It's nothing much. First, to Gonseongjeon.

From now on, the Queen will be staying at my residence of Gangahnjeon.

From now on, the Queen will be staying at my residence of Gangahnjeon.

Court Lady Choi.

Until it can be vouched that the dangers at this place Gonseongjeon are completely gone, I shall do so.

Today, Prince of the Court from Deokseong came to see me.

I heard of it.

He threatened me with your life.

I had heard.

Hence . . .

Hence . . .

Together...

I will stay with you.

Alright.

Slowly. Distantly.

♫ My heart,

♫ I did not know it would ache this much.

♫ These reddened eyes of mine, that they would be brimming with so much tears, I did not know.

He said to get rid of the one you cherished the most among the three first.

He said to tame you so until you are properly docile.

Regardless of what, that one by your side must be the first one, right?

He's always running to you to find you.

Each time, without fail.

♫ It feels as though I will die.

♫ I said, I love you.

♫ I said, Don't go.

Are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm telling you the truth!

Everyone said so.

That Woodalchi General is really mighty. He can fight against 100 people by himself.

And you believed such a thing?

They are people who saw it in person too.

That by the general's one stroke of the sword, two or three would be slayed.

Oh, is this that sword?

Is this the Precious Sword?

Listen well.

Yes.

First, do not covet another's sword.

I'm sorry.

Second, if there are 100 enemies waiting for me,

pull out no matter what.

What?

You can just slay the one punk who's behind those 100, so why would you fight? No?

Yes, that one punk behind them.

Your ear?

It's fine.

It's fine.

I "checked" on your subordinates. So I'm saying . . . I examined them,

and no one's severely hurt. They are all fine.

Yes, they should be fine, those lads.

Um . . .

Let's talk.

It is that child earlier, right?

He could kill me in the future, did you say?

However, no matter how I look at him, he doesn't seem like he could kill me in the future.

I am thinking of making a request to His Majesty.

For his permission to vacate the palace for a while.

If he grants it, I will escort you toward the heaven door.

But you said even if we get there,

there's no guarantee that the heaven door would be open.

There isn't.

You, Choi Young . . .

Right now, you have a ton of tasks you must complete with the King, right?

Yes.

Your promise to me, you're saying you will keep it?

If you stay here, you will become more and more endangered. Hence . . .

Because I know about the future days?

Because of that, that man named Gi Cheol wants me?

More and more, more people will want you.

Hence, before more come to know of you,

Hence, before more come to know of you,

it would be better that you leave.

There's one thing I'd like to know.

Go ahead and speak.

Last time, when I tried to flee on my own and I was about to fall off from the slope,

the one who grabbed me. That was you, right?

That was you, right?

That day, had it seemed dangerous to you for me to be in his company, you would've fought then.

In order to save me.

Since I made the vow.

That you would protect me, that you would return me?

Yes.

You . . . if you were to fight with that Gi Cheol, could you win?

I'd lose.

Here, in this world, saying you'd lose means you'd die, right?

If you lose during a fight,

that will happen.

I understand. I will think about things too.

Now . . .

Now . . .

you don't smile?

Is it because you can't in front of me...

or has it become...

that you no longer smile.

That man, Choi Young, what will you do with him?

That punk Choi Young is worth more than two thousand palace guards.

But it's not like you can have him still.

He doesn't seem like someone who'd come over easily.

Of course there's a way to have him, easily.

What's that?

To have the king he's under will do.

Then that punk has no choice but to follow naturally.

That is that punk's limit.

But anyway,

who exactly are the ones who could be the King's people, among these?

Well among the many names here . . .

This is tedious.

Whoever that is,

anyone who comes to the King's sermon gets killed.

At the sermon hall, the Woodalchi punks . . .

they would be in charge of the garrison.

I'll summon Chilsa.

By Chilsa, you mean that frightening assassin band?

If we call them and things go awry and we fail in controlling them . . .

The young current king . . .

I'm going to have to switch him out.

However, before we make the switch,

I will teach him clearly his place.

What about the High Doctor?

Drag her here or leave her be?

She is of much use.

But she is a foolish woman who is ignorant of the likes of the circumstances of this land.

Without the King or Choi Young, where else could she go?

She'll come crawling on her own.

That this Goryeo, that doesn't succumb to threats,

there are those who desire a proper king. You will show him that.

That was very impressive.

Prince of the Court from Deokseong, Gi Cheol.

Right about now, he must have his nose dropped.

I said this month's full-moon.

I heard of it.

It's set that I would gather my people by then and show them to him.

Yes.

Your Majesty, it is definitely not difficult.

Your Majesty, at current, in Goryeo,

many are ready to swear their allegiance to the King

and waiting in their various hideouts.

Your Majesty has in your possession a token you can show to them.

A token, did you say?

You have the High Doctor, right?

The High Doctor who came down from Heaven.

Resurrected the Queen's life.

And resurrected this Woodalchi General here.

And the dying son of the Mingghan (military) officer.

She saved him in just half a day.

That person is

one who knows all about how this nation and world will turn out in the future.

A person of such . . .

is by Your Majesty's side.

Your humble subject,

has already spread the words far and wide.

Gae Kyeong and Goryeo

will all know soon.

Your Majesty. I am worried as well.

If you display the High Doctor further . . .

I know, I said! She could be in more danger.

However, there really isn't any other way either.

Someone like Prince of the Court from Deokseong,

gathered people and killed people.

He seized their hearts by menacing them.

How is Your Majesty any different?

You ask how I am any different?

Are you saying I am the same as he?

Are you not?

The heaven or the future,

you spread those absurd words,

and you gather those who are lured by that,

and claim you now have their hearts?

You're intending to boast about that, aren't you?

If you can denounce your king without any reservation,

you must at least have an alternative, right?

I will gather them.

Your Majesty's people.

My people?

How?

I just need to bring them to you without pawning the High Doctor, no?

In exchange,

send the High Doctor back quietly?

Since that is a vow you made?

Of course.

Exactly how is the High Doctor . . .

My first loyal subject.

Without regard to place or time,

he denounces me, the King, loudly.

Why are you acting so on merely this?

Compared to those your subject will be bringing to you in the future,

I will turn out to be such a meek subject.

Are you afraid?

More so than you, Choi Young,

subjects more ill-mannered than you, they will be?

Will it not do?

Fine.

Such subjects.

Let's have a look at their faces then.

Then I will bring them to you.

Then the High Doctor . . .

I'm sending her back!

Me!

I should have come sooner,

to express my gratitude.

But my service duties were urgent and I finally come.

I will relate that to the High Doctor.

Then . . .

the High Doctor is inside right now?

She's a difficult person to meet in person.

But I did in person.

I saw her in person, Father.

I thought to myself, "indeed a heavenly fairy would be like her" . . .

That heavenly appearance.

About her heavenly skills . . . I have heard of it here and there in my journey upon Gae Kyeong roads.

For me as well, once I return to Ssangseong,

about that High Doctor,

I intend to relate it properly.

Those Yuan folks too.

They will be quite surprised and envious once they hear of it as well.

Now you no longer smile?

Not a chance!

Yoo Eun Soo, "Don't worry, be happy."

Cheers.

From Gae Kyeong,

to Jeol Ryeong Do.

Follow the road and?

To Seo Kyeong.

From there, you go on Unjongdo path to Yeonju.

Wait. Seo Kyeong.

Then . . .

Unjongdo.

What are you doing?

Even if I were to ask people for directions,

I need to at least know what to ask, right?

Okay, so after that. Seo Kyeong . . .

Seo Kyeong then Unjongdo, and next?

To Yeonju.

Afterwards, you pull out towards the east.

Until you reach the border at Pyeongrojin.

Where are you going?

If I go and ask for it, do you think he'd give it to me?

That pervert bastard called Prince of the Court from Deokseong, Gi Cheol . . .

If I go and ask him for my notebook, do you think he'd give it to me?

He wouldn't!

So I'm giving up on it. Forget it.

I'm just going to go to that place where the heaven door is and wait quietly.

Well, it's a door that opened once.

Wouldn't it open again at some point?

Look this way.

That's why, you see . . .

It's pretty far to go all the way there.

So I think I may need some travel expense.

I am thinking about asking the Queen for some travel expense, but how much do you think I'll need?

I don't really have a concept about money here.

You're going to ask the Queen for travel expense?

I did surgery for her, so couldn't I get some?

Did you tell the Woodalchi General about it?

Without telling him, you're going to go there alone, so fearlessly?

Me. Can you give me a man's outfit?

In historical dramas, they all do that when they go on a long journey.

Dress like a man and wear a bamboo hat too.

Is staying here scary to you?

The Woodalchi is guarding you, but that doesn't put you at ease?

What I fear the most right now . . .

is me.

That I might, on this land,

commit some act.

Because I don't know that,

I'm so scared.

I seriously . . . when it comes to history or politics,

I hate to be responsible for things like that.

I abhor it.

You came?

How dare you assassins come near the owner . . .

From afar.

If you have something to say . . .

go over there, distantly.

When and who to get rid of, I will let you know then and there.

The payment, as before.

And also,

one of you will have to conduct surveillance on a woman.

So that I will know her every movement of hand and foot.

Let's set a date.

I'll get the location and make a killer preparation.

Siuri and I have this position we came up with.

If we fight you with that,

not even General Choi Young could easily pull away.

Right?

I don't know.

You said earlier we could win.

Oh, that house.

So let's have a go. Just best out of three.

Then I really won't pester you more.

Are you seriously going to just ignore what I say?

Then what?

I'd feel scorned.

Ack.

Is this Teacher Yi Saek's house?

I came to see the teacher.

It can't be that person.

He's said to be Goryeo's top scholar.

But scholars don't sleep?

Why!?

I'm Choi Young who is serving as the General of Woodalchi.

Hey, is this the right house?

I don't think so.

That man can't be the one who, at age 13, passed the Goryeo national examination for office.

The man who scored top at the various Goryeo and Yuan nation examinations. That couldn't be him.

But it is.

It should be right.

Are you indeed Teacher Yi Saek?

Why so hot?

Stop blocking the wind and move.

I came on royal command.

What royal command?

Go and poop.

Scholar Yi Saek shall receive the royal command with decorum.

What is that royal command that you beat me up to receive it?

Is that something I can eat or wear?

Give it and I'll take it.

Hurry and give it then.

There's something you need to relate to your teacher, Teacher.

My teacher uses language different from those petty fistholders.

Even if I were to relate it, he wouldn't understand it.

A petty scholar making a cynical remark?

He's just hiding because he doesn't want to lose his life.

Go and tell your teacher.

Tell him to contact me if he has the courage to meet me, His Majesty's Woodalchi General.

General!

The High Doctor, where did she go?

She took all this with her?

Follow the Jeolryeongdo road to Seo Kyeong.

I shall make an inquiry.

The path to Seo Kyeong is which way?

Is it this road or is it that road?

Is this actually Jeolryeongdo road?

Are my words hard to understand?

Maybe he doesn't know our language?

What deed is this you're committing?

That's what I'm saying. What the heck are you doing?

Not for you to meddle. Let go.

I said to watch her right.

So what am I supposed to do?

She worked really hard to try to flee without my notice.

Then she started to run, and it's not like I can capture her and tie her up.

So I just kept watching and came all the way here.

Daeman.

Yes?

Go and drag a horse here.

But it's not two horses but one?

I don't know why I did that . . .

but I taught that person how to ride the horse.

Just one. Put a rope and drag him here.

Yes.

And you be on standby here.

Yes, I'll be on standby.

So when you said you were going to do some thinking, this was that?

Go to the heaven door alone?

You sure packed substantially.

I got it as payment for the treatment. You sure packed substantially.

I got it as payment for the treatment.

Yi Seong Gye, his family gave it to me.

No matter how I think about it, he's frightening.

How can you be so fearless?

Where do you think that is to go alone?

Are you going to keep on nagging and following me?

I'm thinking.

Should I drag this person forcibly or use words to persuade her.

Us. Let's end our promise.

What does that mean?

Just as the words mean.

You kidnapping me here. I'll forget it.

Since things are like this, there's nothing I can do.

I'll just regard it as having bad pillars of fate and forget it, so let's say you never promised to return me.

Say that the vow doesn't exist?

Let's do that.

In case I fight and die in trying to keep my vow to you?

Well that . . .

So you decided you'd go to the heaven door alone?

In regards for me?

A handshake . . . you don't know it, right?

I don't.

In my world, when you greet upon a first meeting and when you're pleased to meet again after an absence,

and when you're parting in the end, you handshake.

Here, grab it.

Hurry.

It is a vow I made.

So to end it or whatnot, only I can do it.

Wait a minute.

Hence, if you could just be more careful and wait . . .

Even if you drag me like this, I'm going to flee again.

Flee, did you say?

Send me.

I can't bear to watch people dying in front me anymore.

And I don't want to be involved in you people's world either.

And I don't want to cry because of you either.

So send me off.

How can I send you off?

You. Here.

Protecting me? Stop that now.

You needn't protect me anymore, I'm saying.

A promise? A vow? Ending that is easy.

Let's just end it.

Then it'll do.

Everyone's gathered.

Woodalchi Central General, Choi Young, came upon your summons, Elder.

Today, we called you because we have a few things to ask you.

Can you keep an open heart and answer truthfully?

I will do so.

Sit down.

Choi Young, offspring from the line of Ministry of National Affairs.

His father was formerly a scholar official of Bureau of Political Affairs.

He served in the military camp in Yanggwando and served as the youngest assistant general in Red Crescent Moon.

Upon the disbanding of Red Crescent Moon, for the past seven years, as a Woodalchi,

he served the late kings.

I knew your father from the time he was a scholar official in the Bureau of Political Affairs.

Is that so?

Your father once said this to me in private, that he had words he wished to leave behind for his son.

Have you heard of it?

Right before he passed away, he said Gyeon (see) Geum (gold) Yeo (like) Seok (stone).

To treat gold like stone.

Yes.

I did some investigation about you.

Though you could wield your power since you've become the new King's right-hand man,

not to mention any rock-like gold, but I heard you don't even possess a cast iron caldron of your own.

So those are the things you wanted to summon me to ask?

Why this current king?

What?

For the past seven years, not in status nor money,

you were a person who had no regrets about anything in the world, so why suddenly this king?

Are you now asking me to evaluate the current king?

We are people who've already given up hope in the Goryeo royal family.

We are just each passing our days with our breaths.

So explain to us who are of such. Why this king?

Today, the general is due to meet Teacher Ikjae, Yi Jae Hyeon.

[ Yi Jae Hyeon ]

He possesses an extremely wide acquaintance with not just scholars in Goryeo, but Yuan and from Han too.

Even I have heard of Teacher Ikjae since I was in Yuan.

By chance, last time, during the time when the Pro-Yuan faction rebelled

to try to incorporate Goryeo as a Yuan fortress,

the one who went to Yuan in person to oppose the incorporation was him, wasn't it?

It is correct.

People believe it was because of Teacher Ikjae that the machinations of fortress incorporation was halted.

Would a man of such come?

What is your thought on it?

Well . . .

The one who left upon making the grand talk,

is rather unskilled in the oral politics.

I don't know what will happen.

The new King, from what you see, does he seem particularly smart?

Though he is indeed smart . . .

His benevolence for the people seems particularly deep?

I've never seen how he interacts with the citizenry, so I don't really know.

His pride against the Yuan nation is particularly strong?

It seems so.

Is he someone who'd easily lay his life for our Goryeo to stand on our own with dignity?

I've never put it to test so I don't know.

Then, let me ask you this way.

If we lay our lives down before the new King, what can he give us?

May I ask a question first?

I am listening.

The King you elders want,

exactly who is he?

Being born to the likes of Zhuge Kongming,

merciful as the Buddha toward the people,

who gives his followers a long life of fortune and honor,

a man of such is what you're waiting for? Is that it?

So you are checking the seasoning right now?

I'll ask again.

You, Choi Young,

why this current King?

Because he is the King I chose on my own for the first time.

Because he is the King I chose on my own for the first time.

What drove you to choose him on your own?

He is feeble-minded and at times scared.

He gets confused about his decisions as well.

He often regrets his own actions. Despite all that,

he knew shame.

Shame?

That's how I came to that decision.

This man, before he becomes dulled by that shame,

I must protect him.

Is that answer enough?

Did you say to attend the King's sermon at the full-moon of this month?

Yes.

The significance of attending the sermon is that we would go under the King and protect that shame.

However,

However,

in order to do so, we must at least stay alive, right?

Hence, that you would safeguard our lives,

can you make that vow?

Subtitles brought to you by Faith Team @ viki.com

Hence, that you would safeguard our lives,

can you make that vow?

Have some.

I'll eat it well.

You are toiling on my account.

I could go alone though.

No, you couldn't go alone.

There are robber bands and also those Yuan bastards that hunt women.

Regardless, I am fine.

Actually,

I like it better here.

So then.

He will come, Teacher Ikjae?

He will come.

Without anything in return?

The price in return, I'm sure he'll continue to ask for in the future.

But that is something Your Majesty will have to see to it well accordingly.

I see. I have to see to it well accordingly.

I sent the High Doctor away.

I heard.

She didn't bid farewell to me, nor the Queen, it seems.

Since she could get caught again in making the bid.

Indeed you will never just lose to me in words.

Your Majesty.

What? What are you going to nag me about now?

The Woodalchi boys can, automatically in the absence of any orders even,

handle most any situation. They are trained for that.

Always keep them by your side.

That is a given.

If Teacher Ikjae will come,

you will be able to resurrect Goryeo's top three ministries and offices again (Level-One posts).

The Queen...

is residing with you in Gangahnjeon, I heard.

That's . . .

to handle various circumstances . . .

May you handle them well.

I heard the Chilsa (Seven Kill) are in.

Chilsa?

That assassin gang?

Yup.

Who called them

Who do you think?

That person.

Does he really intend to kill all?

Everyone who comes to His Majesty?

Do you plan to fight them too? All by yourself?

I'll think about it.

But I heard you said you were going to safeguard them all, from that elderly Ikjae to all those around.

Seriously, you are fast.

The talk was last night.

I guess you got stabbed by the sword and the wind that went in then hasn't come out yet.

With what power are you going to protect them all?

You can't believe me either, right, Aunt?

How many times do I have to tell you?

To Prince Deokseong, the High Doctor isn't the only toy.

The King, the world, the citizenry, too, they are all toys to that man.

So you're saying I don't have the power to block him.

Then you do?

Mae Hee.

That child didn't believe me either.

That I could protect her.

That person as well.

She can't seem to believe.

That person?

Aunt.

Talk.

Mae Hee.

I can't remember her face.

What? I can't remember her face.

What?

Because it's been too long.

I can't remember well, I'm saying.

So what about it?

What if, at this rate, I really won't be able to recognize her even if we meet in the world after?

That won't do, right?

So . . .

Before that. Before I really forget for good.

I think I need to go and meet her.

What is he talking about now?

I'm thinking I should do what I can do.

What you can do. What?

What Father always said.

The greatest strategy...

is the simplest.

I'm going first.

Me . . .

you dislike me, right?

I do?

From the start.

You disliked me even before you met me, right?

The one I can trust is one only.

It's you only, General.

Teach me.

How I should fight.

So that I can save you.

Choi Young.

He did?

I feel apprehensive no matter what.

If that apprehensive feeling is true, you need to stop him.

He's not a sod who listens to someone stopping him.

I know that.

Even if I summon him and order him, it won't work?

He is already absent from the barracks.

I went to that rascal's room,

he had already cleaned everything up and it was all empty.

Then, what do we do?

Perhaps one person. If it's that person . . .

That person?

Perhaps she could grab his heart.

That is my assumption.

Then what are you waiting for?

Hurry.

It's precisely tonight.

It's just once a month,

so if we miss tonight, we'll have to wait another month.

The location and the movement,

I drew it up.

Date and time.

You are sure it's correct?

For the past four months, it's been the same day.

It's not exactly honorable money transaction, so in the middle of the night.

Between the 21st and the 23rd hour.

Between the 21st and the 23rd hour.

The participants?

If it's as it was in the prior, it should be about 3 or 4.

You worked hard.

You're really going to do it alone?

What am I going to do by bringing you punks?

Grab the spear.

My spear?

But why?

Front spear.

Knot spear.

Low spear.

Left spear.

Your eyes are wrong.

What's wrong with my eyes?!

Next time, just where you want to attack,

you're already looking at it beforehand.

I am?

A guy that lets his next move known,

how can he beat the opponent?

General.

Not doing it with me?

You're not going to do it with me?

I said I got it.

High Doctor.

Yes?

I think you can stay here tonight.

What brings you here?

Oh, hello there.

Let's talk.

Guard properly.

So no one can come near.

I came thinking that punk might listen to you, High Doctor.

By that punk, you mean . . .

Choi Young. My nephew punk.

Did something happen?

Because it seems something might happen.

By chance, have you seen the sword that punk carries around?

That is the Precious Sword he inherited from his teacher.

In that sword's handle, there's a battered rope tied around it.

That rope is . . .

from that punk's betrothed.

By betrothed, you mean he was engaged?

I think they did it...

by themselves.

Saying they will marry once the nation was secure.

By "did" you mean . . .

She died.

That was seven year ago.

They were pledged brother and sister who mastered martial arts under the same teacher.

That teacher, at the hands of the then King,

suffered a wrongful death.

Since that was due to that pledged sister being the reason,

she couldn't bear it and a few days later, she self-terminated.

Self-terminated?

Suicide?

Afterwards, for that punk Young, living was not like living.

He just slept everyday and wherever a fight broke out, he would be the first to run there.

A punk like that . . . I thought he'd changed recently.

He runs around saying he will do something.

That was . . .

due to High Doctor, is what I had thought.

What that punk cherishingly refers to as "that person." That is you, right, High Doctor?

I'm not sure.

Did you say to him you couldn't trust him?

That you no longer needed him, did you say that?

So it seems that punk has found another place where he is needed.

That's . . .

a place of death, it seems, High Doctor.

General.

General!

Go back to the palace.

Go and relate my message to the assistant general.

I don't want to.

What did you say, brat?

I'm going to follow you and go, General.

I told you, I'm going alone.

I'm going too.

Hey you rascal, this is . . .

It's to lay a trap and wait.

I have to do it alone to make it work.

A trap?

Trap and hunting. I'm better at that than you.

But did you say a trap?

Why?

But General, you use frontal breakthrough.

It's strange, isn't it?

As though I am begrudgingly and . . .

wanting to look back.

Daeman.

Yes?

I think I am indeed . . .

scared.

What?

See if you dare to follow me.

You'll never see me again.

General.

My words

are no joke.

Can you go alone?

I'll get a horse too and at once . . .

That punk's going to come to me, it says.

That punk that the King and High Doctor have their sights on.

Woodalchi General.

He's coming to see me prepared to die, it says.

If you fight against that man called Gi Cheol, can you win?

I'd lose. Me.

In this world here, to say you'd lose means you'd die, right?

If I lose the fight, then I will.

♫ You are a bad person.

♫ Though I pretend I don't know you, I don't notice you and turn away.

♫ You, who continue to haunt my eyes,

♫ you are really a bad person.

♫ You are an aching love.

♫ After you embraced my cold heart,

♫ you, who make me catch my breath and swallow my tears,

♫ you are an aching love.

♫ You set down love as you please,

♫ letting love bruise my heart.

♫ Even if I stick my hand out like a fool, you hide,

♫ you are so bad.

Did you ask me what I was doing right now?

Right now, that history of heaven that this woman speaks of,

I am testing to see if that can be changed.

If I can...

change the history recorded in heaven,

at that hour, we...

will have much to talk about.

Hence,

until then, be careful of your body.
