Episode 20

The same paths I walked on with that person, I'm walking on them again.

Yes, I remember this place too.

Every moment of that day, I remember.

If it's this place, could you discover it 100 years later?

Though I can't believe in such a miracle,

but because hope lingers I leave a regret like this.

I thought about it over hundreds of times.

That day, if we had returned to the palace, what would have happened?

Then, could our Queen have lived?

And could our King have been spared from crumbling as well?

Hence... could I have been spared from watching that person's heart dying, from embracing everything?

If I could return to that day again.

If only I could hold that person again and look at his smiling eyes again...

Even if it's only a day, if I could do that...

Don't run away like me, Eun Soo.

Even if that is to become your last day.

Imja, what's wrong?

Look here! What's going on?

Did someone come by?

No.

Then why is your face like that?

Are you ill somewhere?

Just... please hold me.

What exactly has happened?

Speak so I can know.

Look...

Yes?

If by chance,

if something were to happen to our King and Queen...

What are you talking about?

During your absence, if something were to happen to them,

would you be alright?

What did you hear?

From who?

What do we do?

What is that nonsensical talk?

I said I'm going back, to the King and to the Queen.

Did you forget so soon?

What's wrong with your head when you're a doctor?

We're fleeing right now, and headed towards heaven's door.

If you return to the palace right now, I don't know what will become of Imja.

For now, we'll think about that as we go.

Explain in a way I can understand.

Go ahead.

What's inside here is also something like the heaven notebook?

Yes.

The content?

If we return to the palace right now we could possibly save the Queen.

This...

I pulled it out under the rock.

You don't believe me?

I do, since it's Imja saying it.

Let's go.

To the palace?

First, we'll go to the nearest village.

And find out if there's any news of the palace.

And find a way to lose those hunters who are after us.

We'll decide after that.

Sit.

Isn't it that you're suffering from fever?

What's happened?

We're searching through all of Gaekyeong with the royal armies out as well.

But?

But no trace was found.

And though we're combing through the vicinity of the royal palace where Her Highness the Queen disappeared from as though we are catching lice... there is nothing...

I must go.

I will find her myself!

Your Majesty must guard the palace,

in order so that you can receive the reports.

Move aside. Don't get in my way!

Your Majesty needs to cast the order.

Your Majesty!

Ask Suribang for help as well.

They are ones who will know the back alleys of the town better.

Yes.

And tell the commander of the Eumhyang Army to come.

I have a separate instruction for him.

Yes.

Also...

And also...

Vice General.

Yes.

The Queen. She's frail-bodied.

And with the weather so cold, where could she be and doing what ...

By your permission granted, I will go out and join the search.

No news of General?

There isn't.

I'm getting punished.

Your Majesty.

I always disregarded Choi Young's heart and I am getting punished so.

When he said he would protect High Doctor's safety,

when he asked me to save her life, each time he plead, he felt this way.

He must have burned like this.

That . . I finally realize now.

It's Court Lady Choi.

I failed to safeguard Her Highness the Queen.

I committed an offense unpayable by death alone.

So then? What's that you can tell me?

I found this letter in the Queen's sleeping chamber.

I interrogated the maiden who delivered the letter, however, she could not remember from whom she received it.

The stamp here is a Dansa Officer's, isn't it?

I verified

and it is.

The content...

Vice General.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will give you 100 royal soldiers.

Vice General, go with them and search through Yeongbin Hall.

Yeongbin Hall?

That's where the Yuan envoys are housed.

If 100 is not enough I will give you another 200.

The Dansa Officer's dwelling,

in particular, Prince Deok Heung's dwelling must be searched thoroughly.

What are you? What are you people?

You can't come further.

What's going on?

Pardon us.

By His Majesty the King's Order,

we're carrying out a search.

We ask for your cooperation.

I will decline as the Dansa Officer of Yuan nation.

You are not permitted to decline this order.

In addition, His Majesty asked to escort Dansa Officer, My Lord, in person.

Dol Bae. -Yes, sir?

Escort him to the palace.

I'll escort you.

As evidence, I will bring your seal and a few sheets of what you were writing.

Please go.

Don't flee like me, Eun Soo.

Even if that is to become your last day.

Other than a war seems likely,

there isn't anything else particular.

Let's continue our path.

You're not going?

"I'll go find the heaven door by myself."

"And you just go to the palace." If I said that, you wouldn't go, right?

Do you even consider them words?

And if I said, "let's go back together"?

Since there's still time.

First, go back and...

Why exactly are you repeating the same words over and over?

What does it take for me to get you to return?

Just get angry?

Want me to get angry once?

The day will end soon. Let's go.

Why are you so fretful?

Is sending me away so urgent?

What?

But you're always like that.

"I will send you."

"I'll make sure and see to it that you're sent away."

Would you be so happy to send me away so quickly?

Look here!

And see how you talk.

What was that talk about what happens when a warrior hesitates in using the sword?

How would I feel to hear stuff like that?

What? Because of me?

Because of me, you're ruined as a warrior?

So you're leaving the King too?

Then what becomes of me?!

You only protect me with words. Like that's some protecting!

Not just my life. Protect my heart too!

That's why I'm...

Why is my pillar of fate like this?

Finally someone I really like comes.

But this one gets locked up in jail because of me.

And now he's quitting being a warrior too.

And now he's quitting being a warrior too.

When he knows about doing nothing else.

That's why...

Let's go back, I said.

Just stay still.

Don't even think about going anywhere. Stay here.

If you're going to slash someone then look at their face first.

You, how old are you. Still under 20, right?

Seeing how that person just left you be,

I guess you weren't someone who'd harm me.

I'm going to treat your injury so roll up your sleeve.

What the hell's that letter.

Let's do it here, out of that person's sight.

You can't just go back?

I'm not in the mood to fight right now.

What exactly could you be thinking...

You seem like you learned as much as I did, and aren't you tired of it?

Slay and slay more.

That person once said this.

Can't you just take off?

You can't?

You're coming back hurt again.

Until I return to the palace,

you intend to continue to be angry like that?

When I worry, I get angry.

I understand.

So we're going back?

I'll go and verify.

If those two are safe.

I know what you're thinking right now.

What?

But I can't send you alone.

Then, we'll go back together.

The Yuan envoy.

He's not trying to take you to Yuan.

He wants to execute you publicly.

I see.

And you still want to go back with me?

Even if that is to become your last day.

Fine.

Imja... I won't just sit and watch you get captured.

I know that.

Let me see.

Look at it.

Message from the mother of Your Highness the Princess to be relayed in secrecy...

What is this?

Though it is my stamp...

However?

It is not my writing.

In your name, a letter came to my Queen.

"There's an urgent word. A message from your mother."

You threw out a bait like that.

You called her out in secrecy and kidnapped her.

Where did you take her?

Where is that person right now?

Your Majesty.

Her Highness the Queen is a Yuan princess.

How would I commit such a deed?

Right away!

I must see her.

So just tell me where she is.

Tie up this person.

I must lock this person up,

and twist his legs if I must, to get the answer.

What are you waiting for?

Your Majesty, please.

This person is the Dansa Officer.

Heard you went to the palace.

I'm coming back after meeting His Majesty the King.

Is our Nephew Highness alright? Is our Nephew Highness alright?

Is our Nephew Highness alright?

I heard that Queen Highness went missing.

How devastated he must be.

Those two had such a conjugal harmony.

Did you use my stamp?

Me?

Did you use my stamp and write a fake letter

to call the Queen out?

Why would I commit such a deed?

The conditions established by the Dansa Officer...

the Yuan Royal Seal and handing out High Doctor is precisely tomorrow.

The King wouldn't be able to fulfill that condition anyway.

The mission this subject was entrusted was...

to avoid war as much as possible,

and put Goryeo nation under requisition.

I know that.

However?

If the Yuan princess were to suffer an incident,

that father who is Emperor Wui wouldn't sit back.

Hence, no matter who committed the deed,

Her Highness the Queen,

she must be safe.

Surely she couldn't have met foul play.

She's probably safe.

Over here.

Anyone here?

This person could be gone from Gaekyeong already.

It's possible she's already dragged afar.

The entire army is turning Gaekyeong inside out.

The defensive force went into action as soon as Her Highness was out of sight.

So, in the end, she couldn't have been snuck out.

No.

No.

We don't know that.

Contact the provincial armies.

All alleys of the entire nation.

Search through all homes.

And if she's still not found...

And if...

If it's too late...

Summon Prince Deok Heung for me.

I will do so.

Your Majesty.

But didn't you know from the start?

Only he could commit such a deed?

And also...

What that person is demanding?

Donggu (east) is where the last place High Doctor and Choi Young were spotted.

Since then, not even the reward-seekers could find them. What would you like to do?

Would you like to wait longer?

Why Donggu?

But that's not heading toward the heavenly gate.

Since they're being chased by the reward-seekers, they can't just march forward.

It was a bad move to tell the reward-seekers to kill in the first place.

How many can actually kill Choi Young?

We should've just told them to find their location and report to us.

Then Pledged Younger Brother and I could've gone and settled it.

If not?

What is?

Prince Deok Heung didn't trust High Doctor from the start.

That person...

sneered at me for believing in High Doctor.

To be honest, Pledged Older Brother...

I don't believe her either.

I just regarded her as Pledged Older Brother's new toy.

However,

this time you went a bit far.

This humble man, from the start,

tried to advice him dozens of times.

If I didn't believe her?

But what if she turns out to be true?

What if I miss the heaven world then? That feeling of being wronged...

We should go after them?

If Pledged Brother is right, then the place they can go is but one.

Just that heaven door.

Of course.

The Yuan envoy is waiting to kill her.

She says the heaven door would open.

Of course they'd flee there.

Since she says she's a heavenly person.

If not?

If those things aren't heading to the heaven door?

Then...

They fooled us all.

Aigoo..aigoo..

These people have gone mad.

Where do you think this is to crawl back in?

There's mayhem in and out of the palace.

Did something happen?

To the King and the Queen?

You didn't come knowing?

What happened?

The Queen suffered kidnapping.

When she went to the temple yesterday, it happened in an instant.

So you're not back because of that?

Deok Heung is being summoned to the palace, at this late of night.

Did you call for me, Your Majesty?

I will talk in private.

You all go out.

Your Majesty, this man uses poison.

I can't just leave the two of you...

Just the two of us will remain.

Yes.

What furtive matter could it be...

My Queen...

I did hear the news. You must be devastated.

Return her to me.

What do you mean?

But you have her.

Please return her to me.

Your Majesty.

You are saying words that could be so grave.

No matter what wicked life I've led, how would I dare to, Her Highness the Queen?

It's not so, Your Majesty.

I....

What can I do for you and that will do?

That person is much frail-bodied right now.

Per Royal Doctor's words, she could not be startled.

And she can't eat something wrong either.

Hence...

This transaction that must be done regardless,

please hurry and begin.

Though I don't know who committed such a deed,

if someone were to have committed it...

Please speak.

He wouldn't bother with a separate deal.

First, because he couldn't let it be known that it was him who harmed the Queen.

And Your Majesty who failed to protect the Yuan princess is the second.

Once this second reaches afar to Yuan nation,

"You abused the Queen bestowed to you by Yuan,"

and you could become a King who is to be removed.

Well, that has been precedented before.

To say you don't need a deal...

are you saying you won't let her live?

That I don't really know.

Since I'm not the person involved, I am just making suppositions.

Is the throne what you need?

Then take it.

Your Majesty.

Just that...

this nation,

at least this Goryeo, let it remain.

Since Uncle, you are this nation's person as well.

Hence...

Well this nation would still be.

Just that the name would slightly change.

Be it a Goryeo or a Yuan...

To you, Uncle, a nation is such?

How is it different?

To a person of such,

I am offering to hand over the king's throne?

To a person of such, I am begging like this?

What can I do?

What do I need to do

that you will let that person live?

Nothing strange inside, Sir.

So that punk Prince Deok Heung showed no movement whatsoever?

I trailed him the whole time and he was just stuck inside Yeongbin Hall.

Then he's got a henchdog.

Those punks that went to see him at Yeongbin Hall... can you remember?

What reason did you return?

Because High Doctor said to return.

Why?

To die?

Starting yesterday, she suddenly kept insisting on returning, saying the palace is in danger.

Perhaps because she's from heaven?

And His Majesty?

You should go and see him.

I can't go.

From what I see, that is that Prince Deok Heung's weapon.

To play with people's hearts.

That's what I think too!

Hello, Miss Auntie.

So the Queen's kidnapper is probably Prince Deok Heung, right?

Everyone's suspicious of it but there's no evidence.

And fretting that something could go awry with the kidnapped Queen if we should make a wrong move.

There is a way to counter him.

This method comes out in movies a lot.

Yesterday, when you escorted the Queen to the temple,

give me the roster of names that went along.

Including all the court maidens.

We just need to find out where the Queen's locked at.

So I'll go and meet those people first.

You can't.

There you go again!

The opponent is Prince Deok Heung.

I'm telling you I know that person!

He's got a psychological disorder.

How would Imja know that person?

Her Highness the Queen!

She's pregnant.

But she can't.

What is can't?

She can't already.

Can't be.

Go and meet the King.

If it is a matter about the Queen, his heart will collapse.

You go and meet him once.

And I'll give it a try.

You said you trusted me. Hm?

General!

General!

Where in the world did you go and come back?

His Majesty just says not to ask anything and says you'll be back again.

His Majesty...

He's at Gonseongjeon (queen's palace).

Your Majesty. It's Choi Young.

I'm coming in.

The man who left Your Majesty's side...

has returned with an urgent heart.

May I ask one question?

I heard you met Prince Deok Heung.

What did that person say?

Your Majesty?

You shouldn't have returned.

You should've gone when I sent you.

Why do you return again,

and spectate this shabby look of mine?

Your Majesty.

Please look at me.

No matter what, it seems that person can't be saved.

There isn't any method.

I was thinking of killing him too.

But I couldn't even kill him. I was thinking of killing him too.

But I couldn't even kill him.

I am sitting here at my wits' end.

While I'm doing this,

my Queen is already...

Get up, please!

Your Majesty, raise your knee.

Your Majesty.

You met Prince Deok Heung and talked about what?

Please tell me.

I must know that man's intention.

What words did you exchange with Prince Deok Heung?

That man denied everything.

Did he want to make a deal?

No, he didn't even care about making a deal.

He just laughed.

I said I would hand him my throne,

and even hand him my nation.

I plead with him.

I begged him.

Did you hear?

Me.

I even threw my nation in.

High Doctor said this.

What that man wants,

is to see Your Majesty's heart crumble.

Your Majesty's heart... has it crumbled?

Then I have no reason to be here.

What do you need?

Cast down an order.

The Queen.

Please find her and escort her back.

I receive your order.

General.

For returning like this...

I haven't been able to return yet.

I only came on a request.

Let Suribang know to get ready.

Yes.

The boys? On standby.

The punk doesn't even intend to keep the Queen alive.

Are you aware tomorrow is your execution day?

I heard. Come and sit.

That foul talking of yours is still the same.

Since I came from heaven.

To my eyes, be it royalty or a beggar, it's the same.

Equality to all. Democracy.

Are you here for the antidote?

Do you remember I once knew about the trap for Choi Young?

Right, that.

This time, I came to realize where the Queen is.

Want me to read it to you? This heaven writing?

No matter how I look at it, I want you.

We really could have been a great pair.

Last time in the notebook was about Choi Young.

This time it's about you.

About me?

"That smart person is attempting an overreach."

Smart?

"He kidnapped the Queen and the Queen...

she was pregnant."

Pregnant?

"The location where the Queen was locked in is as follows... "

A letter was sent to you from heaven?

This is called a plastic film tube.

This time it was put in here and sent to me, you see.

Why did you start reading then stop?

I was going to exchange with the antidote.

You couldn't possibly believe I believe your words.

Then I have no choice, but to go to the palace now and let them know where the Queen is confined.

You are a body that will suffer execution.

I'm going to save the Queen so they couldn't possibly. They'll forgive me.

But don't you become a bit of an issue?

Your face didn't show when you kidnapped the Queen?

Are you going to give me the antidote?

Tell me the truth.

This poison has no antidote, I heard.

Is there? And also, the rest of my notebook...

Is there? And also, the rest of my notebook...

do you actually have it? If you do, show me.

What exactly do you have?

A name that is royalty?

Though I tried to be patient and take it easy on you, this treacherous thing...

Watch your mouth! This morning...

I'm someone who made the resolution to die if be it.

If I give you the antidote, will you be by my side?

Say that you will be by my side first.

How is it?

Don't want to.

Your fever will start soon.

And that will be too late.

I know.

All royal soldiers are being withdrawn.

They went around all the homes in the capital overnight and searched through.

It seems they no longer will search further.

Choi Young and that wily thing are playing a joke.

Don't be concerned by it.

Since we have the Queen in our security.

How's the Queen lately?

Though I am dropping by daily, she's much enervated.

It seems she can't last too much longer.

Then look after her well.

I'll make a trip.

Subtitles brought to you by Faith Team @ Viki.com

Grand Prince Gangreung, are you not?

Will you consent to marriage with me?

Still no news, right?

There isn't, Your Majesty.

She'll come, right?

She will.

I've decided not to hold other thoughts.

Just that I won't allow our child suffer humiliation like I did.

I've decided to only think that thought.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please begin.

By your order, I shall begin.

Prince of the Court from Deokseong in Your Majesty's attendance.

I came running here upon hearing an important parliament meeting is to be held today.

Just why the Dansa Officer from Yuan didn't make his steps in my home...

I came to find that out as well, so I'm here to attend.

Please go ahead. Start.

I had a request for Your Majesty.

Are you prepared?

The Dansa Officer traveled here from Yuan,

asked me for two things.

To use the son-in-law royal seal bestowed by Yuan.

And also, execute the wily thing that bewitched me.

Is that correct?

It is.

If I heed to those two requests,

Dansa Officer, you said you would speak to Yuan Emperor.

"That it appears the Goryeo king is still of use.

Leave him be a bit longer." Is that correct?

The essentials are correct.

Give that to this person.

I used it well until now, and am returning it.

As it seems, this nation no longer needs this.

The second. That wily thing Dansa Officer speaks of.

This person is this nation's High Doctor.

The one who is also the Yuan nation's princess,

my Queen's life, she once saved.

And she's saved my captain of bodyguards. And yesterday, she even saved my heart.

Does she appear as a wily thing to you?

For the whole day, I couldn't get my mind sound.

Did you put it in that water?

The one who summons you... who is it?

What are you doing?

I remember seeing you before in the palace.

What are you getting in return?

I will give you many folds over.

My master said to relay the message as follows.

If the King's mind were to crumble first,

then he was going to save the Queen.

However, time cannot be delayed further so there's no other choice.

More so than anything else,

I cannot leave first.

If you come near me, I will kill you.

Just drink this.

And you can leave at ease.

Are you alright?

A carriage?

Yes.

Punk, how can you just kill yourself?

We need to get the name before we kill him!

Who is it?

I will ask the one being called High Doctor.

Is it true that you came from heaven world?

It isn't.

You couldn't have been believing in such things as the heaven world?

As High Doctor's skills are extreme, those rumors must have been stirred.

What are you talking about, Your Majesty.

Wait.

You can't do that.

High Doctor, are you from the heaven world, to be precise?

It's not the heaven world to be precise.

I'm sorry.

However, those rumors spreading...

I did that.

I thought it would be handy in erecting my position.

Your Majesty?

Yes.

You insist on sending out your people to battle?

If I am in such a fright over their menacing this time,

and my guiltless citizen comes to die,

what were you planning on coming to demand next time?

I had been thinking about how long I would be dragged by those demands.

Then I made a resolution.

It stops here. I won't hear any more of it.

I understand.

It seems I will have to meet you soon.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Her Highness the Queen is here.

High Doctor, you're asked to come as well.

Right, fine.

You weren't?

Oh...

From the heaven world.

It's not the heaven world.

Everything you said until now were all lies?

That...

High Doctor, it's urgent!

Your Majesty, now is a bit...

Is something the matter?

Please allow High Doctor to see her first.

Everyone wait outside.

Deo Gi, help me.

The Queen has regained her consciousness and she's alright.

The Queen has regained her consciousness and she's alright.

However, she's lost the baby.

From what I heard her say, it seems they kept feeding some medicine to her.

Perhaps something like severe sleeping medicine.

That was quite harmful...

At first...

I pretended not to be aware of my heart.

I turned the other way.

No matter how I try to hide it,

my love,

it doesn't know how to hide.

My two eyes,

even if they erase you,

my steps seek for you again.

Because it's you.

I'm alright,

even if you cannot take my heart.

Because love is

painful.

My heart that malfunctions,

without my permission,

it tries

to have you.

Because it's you, it hurts.

But because it's you,

I live.

In front of where all the statesmen were present,

you said you weren't a heaven person, I heard.

That was the King's idea.

Why?

Prince of the Court from Deokseong came to make a public plea to meet High Doctor.

Oh no.

What we can do now is one of two.

First, run with our lives until the heaven door opens.

Like last time,

all the assassins of the country attack us and you fight and we run. Like that?

The second.

Preemptive strike.

We eliminate all the ones who might come after Imja, one at a time.

By elimination, you mean kill?

Yes.

You're joking, right?

Prince of the Court from Deokseong. Prince Deok Heung.

And if needed, the Yuan envoy as well.

For that, first, I have to quit my position as Woodalchi or Commanding General.

Since I can't be a source of trouble to the King.

For that, first I need His Majesty's permission...

Then, I pick the third.

What is that?

Until that day, hide in Goryeo's safest place.

Where's that?

For that, I need a permission too.

Commander Dosun.

This is your seat, you know that, right?

It's not a local battle. It could be war.

I know.

You... what are you doing?

What?

I heard you punk shed your garment and left the palace.

Your subordinates were all tensed.

Is that so?

Because of the woman?

Is it?

Or is the sword getting heavy for you too?

During the time of the Red Moon Army, your teacher came by my home before he died.

He was talking through the night with my father and I was around.

Teacher.

He said these words many times that night.

That the sword's become heavy.

That at times, he can't even raise it with two hands.

So I dared to ask.

"What does it feel like to have the sword become heavy?"

And he said?

What did he say?

"Then at last the end is here."

Hence...

he needed to find a place to end.

What?

That's what he said.

And the next day, he went into the palace...

and passed away.

I felt like bursting.

Someone like him, his day of ending...

That it had to be by a king like that, of all things.

How many years is it for you?

Since you started to hold the sword and kill people?

Not sure.

It was at 16 years old, right? When you left home?

Then 13 years... 14?

Just how many did you kill all these years?

So, I'm asking, is your sword getting heavy too?

Your Highness Prince Deok Heung.

Prince of the Court.

Let's return.

To my home.

What are you talking about?

Let's go and finish what we were doing.

What we were going to do at the outset.

Those who played a joke with this nation...

let's see to it that they pay for their offense properly.

General, wait.

What?

About the new Woodalchi recruits...

Talk to Vice General about that.

Well, about that, if you could take a look.

I said, talk to the Vice General!

General.

Later.

The new recruits, I mean.

What're you guys' issue exactly?

Among them, there's a special recommended one from the higher up.

High where?

First time getting new recruits?

Family background is #15.

By request is #105.

First is skills.

But still, it was an order by His Majesty the King.

What?

We told them to wait in General's room.

Who?

The new Woodalchi recruit.

Soldier, Yoo Eun Soo.

I received the command to be commissioned as a Woodalchi from today on.

Report.

Allegiance.

What is this?

This place. The safest place in Goryeo.

I'm going to hide here. Glued to you.

I even got the King's permission too.

And look.

I got a sword too.

See. Mine.

It seems there isn't a women's dorm here in the Woodalchi barracks.

So I plan to just stay here for now.

If you could just put a cot there...

Actually I can sleep well with two chairs bunched together too.

Dae Man you have to clean better.

Dae Man!

I can work enough for the cost of my food.

I can do health checkups for them and treatments.

And? I should be here too?

Since this is General's room and you're General.

Since I'm General?

Here?

Here... and I won't run away.
