Hyeongo Village will suffer an attack.

I'm aware of it. That's why there's no time.

Hurry and go.

Since I have no other way.

Therefore...

this marriage is impossible.

This man has put a woman of a royalty in disdain. Capture him at once!

For now, how about we fold here today.

Before more tumultuous rumors spread.

Episode 18

It seems they fled in haste.

At best at 1st or 2nd hour.

There's no one inside here.

Where in the world did they flee to?

Path leading to the palace and path leading to the border.

We'll have to divide the troops into two then.

Three.

They could be on the path to the mountain as well.

You're working hard.

Heard you drummed up an enormous incident.

Useful sods under you, ones that will follow you no matter what... how many do you have?

Why?

To get you to commit a prison break or something?

His Majesty is in danger.

The opponent is Prince of the Court's private army. It's highly possible that they might be dressed as thieves. And according to intelligence, about 300 to 400 of them.

Where is he right now?

On the run, probably.

Our Woodalchi kids who are guarding him are too few in number.

Why no answer?

You know I can't mobilize easily without an order from a superior even if it's my immediate subordinates.

Your superiors that ate bribes and committed treason?

Yea.

I'll handle your superiors.

Go and escort His Majesty here.

I said there's no time.

Where is he headed?

I told him to go towards Jaemaru if something were to happen.

And he has your certificates for appointment to general so don't be late.

Foolish sod.

Tighten your guard.

Tighten your guard!

Your Majesty.

Robbers are coming.

They're trailing us all the way to the creek.

How many in number.

Lots.

50 that can be seen.

Did you say a band of robbers?

No band of robbers move in such a great number.

It's most likely that they're punks in disguise.

Can we continue to flee?

If we continue to run like this and we are attacked on both sides, we'll have no measure.

I'll have them spread out into an impregnable defense and try to bear through.

Assistant General!

On the upper side, there's a hunter's dwelling.

Joo Seok.

I can only give you ten.

Yes, hurry and go please.

Group A.

Deok Man, let's go.

Your Majesty, this way.

Hand High Doctor to me.

I'm going to have to escort her with me.

I don't know when Heaven's door will open.

I'm going to have to escort High Doctor and wait outside of the gate.

That man Choi Young made his calculation.

He can be captured but we wouldn't be able to touch High Doctor.

You can't touch her and you can't lock her up like that.

And the King?

Didn't I tell you if I were to hand High Doctor to you, we would have to finish the state funeral first?

400 of my soldiers are chasing after him.

While that man Choi Young is locked up, so... what more do you want?

Was I wanting a bit too much?

Was I wanting a bit too much?

What I wanted was just one only. High Doctor.

Your Highness escorted her here so I have thus been patient.

Hence, do not behave too spoiled.

Because I am getting more and more reluctant to be patient.

High Doctor... I will escort her away.

First thing tomorrow!

If you've got something to say, say it there.

Not like

we're close.

I can't understand. What did you dislike?

As long as we joined our hands well, we could've had a nation!

I told you!

You can't be king.

Why?

Because of your fortune interpretation?

Let's do this.

The crazy bastard committed mayhem at our wedding,

and my pitiful betrothed who suffered...

I learned to use the knife quite well you see.

But this is as far as I learned.

Don't come closer!

Because I don't want it.

Right. I do remember that. That you use knife.

If you're done talking, get out.

It's just I can't solve something.

Why did that man Choi Young let himself be meekly captured? At his temperament?

Should I go out then?

That man escaped prison.

He had someone on his side among the palace army.

I knew he would.

Look here.

What?

Please save me.

I'm seriously going to go nuts.

Prince of the Court keeps on asking for you.

But if I send you, then I have no cards left.

So what? What about it?

Can you run away?

Run away to that man Choi Young.

Would there be another in Goryeo who could safeguard you better than him?

Continue.

Weren't you intending to escape from Prince of the Court as well?

That heaven door or heaven world, before that scam gets exposed?

Right.

Just go hide for ten days at best.

Then an imperial envoy will come from Yuan.

And then, I will become Goryeo's king.

Whatever.

That's a guarantee.

What are you doing?

It's a really good poison.

There are no big symptoms, so don't worry.

However, whenever I call you, you should come.

That's a way for you to live.

I sent a fake message to those on the roster.

Saying it was sent by Prince Deok Heung.

There will be rolling a stir in hopes for bribes. A total of 11 generals.

Dol Bae, follow me, and the rest stay guarding.

So no punks can come.

Yes, Sir.

The Royal Order.

Those who participated in the last revolt by Jo Il Shin.

Commanding General Yi Seo Kyeong. Joongrang General.

You see to the rest of the names yourselves.

You, Woodalchi, Choi Young!

It's the King's order.

I will arrest you punks for mobilizing His Majesty's armies to your whim and for your high treason of attacking His Majesty.

You two?

Against us?

Defiance will be immediate death.

You kneel or you defy and die immediately. Which is it?

I'm in a bit of a rush here.

How about you answer quickly?

It's upperside.

Subtitles brought to you by The Faith Team @ viki.com

Will all those men earlier be safe?

I don't know.

Did you say it was Group A? The remaining men?

Yes, it is.

The leader of Group A, was his name Joo Seok?

It is.

You claim you committed an offense deserving of death.

Then, die.

I remember that man.

And I remember everyone here as well.

These are men who have been with me through day and through night.

How could I not remember?

They will be alright.

Are they not the Woodalchi who are so brave?

They are men Choi Young so cherished.

If they should go awry, he would be in so much pain.

They penetrated through.

The fireling and the pipeling are coming with them.

We, Woodalchi...

will have to use our last measure.

The last?

Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen...

please shed your outer garment.

Look here, Assistant General...

It was the General's order.

That he approves of using the last measure.

To escort Your Majesty to the palace.

That he will await at the palace.

Jeong Do.

Yes, Sir.

Please shed your outer garment.

What are you saying?

To have them die in our place?

I cannot approve of it.

I will go out and meet the head of the enemy.

Since I am King, I will do the persuasion, if needed.

And if wagering of life is needed, I will wager it.

Then I will have to drag you two forcibly.

I will do so!

Group B, safeguard this place.

Try to buy whatever time, even if only a moment.

The rest, escort His Majesty and Queen and head to Jaemaru.

The priority is to not be discovered. Hurry.

Why are you so late?

Dol Bae.

Yes.

Woodalchi Choi Young, you sod have gone crazy!

Release those men at once.

Shut up and who's Oh Seok Jae?

Who's Oh Seok Jae?

This is a signed decree sent by His Majesty.

You've been promoted from Oh Seok Jae of Nangjang to Joongrang General.

Will you accept?

And these superiors of yours in the back.

These are traitors that countermined the King.

Those who want to continue the treason, attack.

And those who will swear their allegiance to His Majesty the King, accept the decree.

Which is it, Oh Seok Jae?

Can't you answer quickly?

I vow my allegiance to His Majesty the King.

Next.

Yi Dong Bae.

How many left?

Three.

Subtitles brought to you by Faith Team @ viki.com

Tighten defense.

By chance, have you come from Hyeongo Village?

Joongrangjang General, Ahn Jae.

In Your Majesty the King's attendance.

Choi Young of Woodalchi sent your subject.

He said to escort Your Majesty to the palace.

I shall escort you.

Keep on eye on it till the end.

Yes, Sir.

Are you alright?

What happened?

Why did that punk let you go?

Did you do some transaction again?

What in the world did you do that...

I kept crying asking him to let me go.

You cried?

So he sent you? Because you cried?

Imja.

I came here to be with you, so just say it's good that I came and it'll suffice.

But you argue and get mad as soon as you see me.

I've been out of my mind for the whole day.

Because of worrying too much.

You need to go, right?

What?

The King... he's coming safely, right?

You need to go and receive him.

Ah... Yes.

He's safe, I'm told.

You will continue to be here, right?

I'll come to look for you.

Go now. We'll talk later.

Yes.

I just wanted to see you.

Yes.

It wasn't?

The one that died wasn't the king?

It wasn't.

Though they were dressed in the King and the Queen's garments, those dead corpses.

I touched the hand and it was the hand of a warrior that has touched the sword rather frequently.

Same goes for the queen.

Then where did the real king go?

No, this is a bother.

However, if it becomes known that the attack was by our private soldiers...

About that...

if it gets known, then we'll think about it then.

Rather than that, tomorrow morning I'm going to go escort High Doctor from the palace to here.

So that there's no negligence whatsoever.

I got it.

Are you really going to go to the heaven world?

You're not?

Don't you want to go?

But why? The heaven world is becoming a reality and how is it that you show nothing?

Yang Sa.

Yes.

I think an expedition team of 12 is too few no matter what.

Let's go with 24.

However, it's difficult to find people who are willing to volunteer to go.

But why?

Heaven is a world where carriages float.

Before you die, don't you want to see it once at least?

You too?

But how can that be?

Regardless, it seems...

the King is alive.

I heard.

The movement of Eungyang Army is suspicious.

It must be so.

Perhaps we need to grasp a measure?

I'm going to flee.

What?

Let's go to Prince of the Court's house.

I'll soon return again.

Woodalchi Choi Young!

He's an offender who's broken from prison.

You must not lose him.

Plot to treason, taking of bribe...

and also...

with this and that reason...

His Majesty the King is going to conduct a royal questioning with Prince Deok Heung.

Binding and confinement to be on standby is what the Royal Command says.

Eungyang Army receives the Royal Command.

General...

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm sorry.

Woodalchi.

10 in Group A.

Group B...

10 of its entirety.

And in addition, 4 more. Altogether...

24 men.

Are deceased.

If per chance you die because of me,

I'm telling you this in advance.

I'm sorry.

You worked hard.

By the shape of the rash, I have a supposition.

You do?

There's a flying insect formula from the nation of Japan.

I'm wondering if it's that poison.

By flying insect, you mean like a tick?

Then I could use an antibiotic.

Anti... biotic?

In my world, it's easily attainable.

And if we run a toxicology test, we can tell which poison right away as well.

At first, a rash shows up like this, and not many other symptoms.

However, once you develop a fever, it will be at most seven days before death.

How about before fever?

The tick poison's incubation period is one month before acute attack, as I know it.

That punk said to go home if I wanted the antidote.

I never believe the words of one who uses poison.

Then what do I do?

We'll have to try and create the antidote.

Can it be made?

It's making an attempt. Unless we attempt, we don't know.

To General...you will not tell him?

I can't tell him now, of course.

He's probably feeling the lowest already.

He said he would come, but he's late.

Your Majesty.

I have been waiting all evening.

What are you doing here?

I was sitting.

Those lads you so cherished,

they threw away their lives in turn for me to return. You have to show them that it was worth it.

Let's go.

It is my fault.

Shall we argue it out properly, about just whose fault it is?

It is my fault.

Look here, General.

Where I needed to be, I was absent.

It was the same last time as well.

Despite knowing Jo Il Shin's whereabouts, I did not have a proper countermeasure.

This time as well.

Being locked up in prison half a day, I missed my necessary timing.

Because of it, Your Majesty had to leave the palace, and my boys...

died.

You once asked me.

How the order goes.

Yes.

I did ask you that.

Always, that person was first.

Such thing as allegiance to this nation, Goryeo... I don't really know it,

Your Majesty.

So then?

To keep a man who's having those thoughts as Your Majesty's General of Woodalchi... is dangerous.

So then?

Letting him go...

is my request.

Attend tomorrow's policy meeting.

We will make a decision about Prince of the Court and Prince Deok Heung.

That far, for now.

When did you come?

Would you like some beer?

I would say that, but there isn't. A cup of tea?

Sit, please.

Then..

Prince Deok Heung is in prison.

Because if we had one or two days more, I could do this.

I didn't talk about Imja's marriage problem.

I didn't know they would progress this fast. So...

Prince Deok Heung told me.

Ten days? Ten days at the latest. Something will arrive from Yuan.

So then he will become King.

Ten days?

So he told me to hide until then.

And don't get caught by Prince of the Court either.

So the place of your hiding is here?

If I get caught, I'll just need to be protected... by someone.

I heard about Woodalchi warriors.

Your heart aches and you're tormented so you can't eat and you went somewhere alone before here, right?

This came out in some movie.

These are letters from Heaven, it says...

It's okay.

Don't worry. [ Text: I'll be by your side ]

Everything will be alright. [ Text: Until that day ]

Right? [ Text: Is that alright? ]

Yes.

What does Prince of the Court believe as the day the heaven door will open?

I said in about two months, but he doesn't believe me.

I think he'll take me there when he sees me.

To wait in front of it.

Then, we'll have to tie up that man's legs first.

Please just wait until I settle a few matters.

Stay here until then and I will protect you.

And before it is too late, I will escort you there.

To there. Heaven's door.

Where is she?

Who?

My High Doctor. Where is she?

She says there aren't many days left. The day of the heaven door.

The royal envoy from Yuan will soon arrive.

By soon, when?

I'm told they crossed the village by the border yesterday.

So at the latest, in two or three days?

Before that, could I get out of here?

There are no books here, nor baduk.

Shut up! All the money I gave you and all the exclusive papers, what did you do with them?

If you claimed you would put Goryeo in your hands, you should've done that properly!

How did you get it snatched away in such an instant?

I'm already reflecting on it.

That I should bribe more effectively next time.

Damn you!

He barely slept yesterday.

We shouldn't have come to the palace.

Your Highness, the King is in the Royal Palace.

He slept so soundly in Hyeongo Village.

I don't like this palace.

I came to take you.

Please enter the bedchamber.

I still have some thoughts.

Those thoughts, please give them to me and...

Tomorrow I will talk big.

But, behind that, I will have to pay the penalty.

Probably the public will bleed because of me.

Like Woodalchi warriors.

You are willing to fight with Yuan.

It's your country.

It was my country.

Then..

You mean that Goryeo is now your country?

Please, forgive me.

For me, a country's name is not that important.

For me, if my husband can sleep comfortably, that's all I want.

You say kind of the same thing as Woodalchi's Choi Young.

He also told me,

he will follow his heart.

Remind Suribang again...

not to lose them no matter what.

It's the envoy with a decree from Yuan. It'll be troublesome to have them enter Gaekyeong.

- If they find him.. -Don't let him live.

I shall start.

The first order, Eunyang Army and Yongho Army. A reorganization in both armies.

The punishment for those who committed treason and the reassigment of vacant seats have been completed.

The second. Currently, we are conducting a search through Cheonmyeong Hall.

Prince of the Court from Deokseong.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Cheonmyeong Hall was installed inside the palace at your request, right?

Many of the taxes that were supposed to go into the national treasury, through that Cheonmyeong Hall,

are heading into the house of Prince of the Court.

There's a report of that nature.

These are palace tax ledgers.

You statesmen who are present here look through these.

As it is said, they are being fabricated.

We accept.

The third. In my return to palace from Hyeongo Village,

I suffered attack by robbers.

Those robbers, have you caught them?

Per assistance by Sangho Army, we traced

and caught about 20 gang members.

We received self-confession from them that they are private soldiers of Prince of the Court from Deokseong.

Prince of the Court from Deokseong, have you anything to say?

Private soldiers from my residence went around committing robbery?

It is complete news to me, but I will go home right away and get to the bottom of it.

And should I find the bastards who did so,

I will tie them all up and send them to Corrections.

You needn't toil.

All alleys leading to Prince of the Court's residence have been blocked.

We are in the process of tracking down the private soldiers who are staying at your residence.

Until all investigations are completed, to Prince of the Court, I shall give this sentence.

Joongdobucheo (house arrest), halt and disallowed to go anywhere. Location would be your residence.

You are going to put me to house arrest?

Then?

Would you prefer the prison?

Would you prefer the prison?

That will be an issue.

There's a place I must go right now, for you to...

Continue.

You know how to read?

Yes I do.

But.. what are you doing here?

I came to protect you.

The Prince of the Court is in a really bad mood.

I don't know what he'll do if he finds out this place.

You're afraid he'll drag me with him?

Then.. you can come and save me.

What I am doing right now...

I made a bet with Royal Doctor Jang.

Who will create the antidote first.

These things here are cultivating pathogenetic germs.

So let me explain. I'm going to make an antibiotic.

Add to the pus you pull out from the wound,

beehive, Japanese honeysuckle and toad venom. You add that in one at a time.

Can't you do something with your hair... ?

What's up with my hair?

What happened?

Ah..This is..just..

What is this?

This..um..

This looks similar to the poison used by the Japanese.

Are you making the antidote for this?

Who is it?

Is it Deok Heung that punk?

He did this to Imja and let you go?

It happened in a momentary confusion.

Why!

Why didn't you tell me?

It's not that the poison will affect me at the moment, and..

I am making the antidote right now so..

Am I still far away?

So these things, there is no need to tell me,

am I still that far?

Because you yell at me...

Do you still not know why I get angry?

If I tell you,

If I tell you,

you'll run and hear whatever again.

Last time it was to steal the royal seal. What is he going to have you to do this time?

Because of me, all this time, you had to cower your head numerous times.

And be captured. I know.

You are not someone who can be like that.

So?

Like so...

You stay so far?

Wait!

Wait!

Don't turn around.

Just listen..

Let me ask you one thing..

I... should I not go?

Can I stay?

I can't?

You got attacked by poison,

how can you still say such things?

Then let me ask this way..

Left days.. Day by day.. I will like you as I want.

Then.. can you forget everything later?

You mustn't ever live haphazardly or sleep to ruin,

don't do that.

Can you forget everything?

Forget..?

Promiss me to do so..

Promiss me to do so..

The royal armies are surrounding your mansion.

Our private army is not great in number right now.

I...

What in the world...

What the hell's going on?!

Pledged brother! Pledged sister!

Find out and bring that man Prince Deok Heung here.

That will be an issue.

To send people who are so noticeable.

And to get a national criminal to break prison?

You're already at a crime of conspiracy to treason...

Conspiracy to treason?

Me? Crime of treason?

Cut off all my source of funds.

And now you can't just bind my ankle!

Pledged sister.

Just bring Prince Deok Heung here?

You must bring him here alive. I will do the killing.

The one who was in here, where did he go?

He was summoned out.

It was His Majesty's summon.

Did you have a good trip, Your Majesty?

In your absense, though I'm lacking, I did my best.

However, it was too short.

My time here.

I have been well aware since I have heard since I was little.

That Uncle, your intelligence is a rarity seen in decades.

You embarass me, Your Majesty.

You are versed in the lauguage of Seoyoung as well as that of Japan.

A master of military stratagem as well, I heard.

Since you are such an impressive person, I will ask you one question.

If my answer pleases you, would you be giving me your throne as well?

That's a possibility.

Cast your inquiry, Your Majesty.

Is there something you prize more than this nation, Uncle?

An item, do you mean?

It could be a person as well.

As this nation exists for that one as well.

That which is thus important.

There is.

What is it?

I, myself.

It's a relief.

Does my answer please you?

It pleases me.

Since it seems more so than Uncle, I will make a better King.

Send Prince Deok Heung outside of the palace.

You are letting me go?

Go on.

Your Majesty.

May I interrogate this person a bit?

You can't.

Your Majesty.

This man used poison on High Doctor again.

Did you?

I will deny it.

General.

It is because I have my reason.

Hence.

That reason... may I ask what it is?

The Queen's Yuan people sent a message.

Inside our border, an entourage of imperial envoy from Yuan has come.

The envoy has an imperial decree to enthrone Prince Deok Heung as the Goryeo King.

At a time like this, to harm Prince Deok Heung...

would be a definite excuse for war.

Hence...

General...

I understand.

You didn't see the inside, right?

Not at all.

What do we do?

Should we tell General?

It's suspicious though.

But the one we were supposed to find is the Yuan envoy.

Then shouldn't they be mobilizing in dozens in number?

But still, that's annoying.

What are these things?

They were trying to infiltrate and we caught them.

I said we're just going to go in briefly and come out.

You usually let us.

Why is everyone so stiff today?

Aren't you guys Prince of the Court's minions?

Pledged sister.

My Lord.

Someone left this here.

Letter to Eun Soo.

I brought a letter.

A letter?

It was someone suspicious who left it outside.

But you know I'm totally weak with Chinese characters.

Read it to me.

If it's a love letter, you'll have to write a response letter on my behalf too though.

What is it that you're like that?

Imja.

What?

I think it'll be best that we run.

The Yuan envoy wants High Doctor.

They want to take you with them.

To Yuan nation.

In the same hour, looking at the smiling you,

now I only have you in my eyes.

Like fate, one day goes,

while it feels like a thousand year has gone by.

I only feel you.

Touching your white skin.

My breath seeping as I live.

I think I dream everyday.

Oh! Like a lie.

Your image nearing without words.

From the moment I breathe...
