< Episode 7 6 >
Your officers must disarm themselves.
And your guards must remain outside the Palace.
Disarm ourselves? How dare you?!
Our Emperor came all the way here to attend the coronation.
That's our law.
If you won't abide by it, you can't enter the Palace.
Disarm yourselves.
Your Majesty!
Do as I say.
So you'll become King soon.
Congratulations.
Thank you for coming here in person.
This is Prince Piryu.
I heard King Kumwa is very ill.
I'd like to meet him and say hello.
Jumong is here?
Yes.
Is he out of his mind? How dare he set foot in Puyo?
I must talk to Daeso.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Is anyone there?!
Your Highness!
Call the royal physician! Now!
Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Your Majesty.
I'll tell him to come by later.
No, let him in.
I will.
Leave us.
Have a seat.
I thought you weren't invited.
Why are you here?
This visit to Puyo is more dangerous than any of the wars I've fought.
Then why risk your life for nothing?
I don't think it's for nothing.
I want to find a way for us to thrive together.
Thrive together?
The only nation who benefits from our animosity is the Han.
We haven't gone to war for over a decade.
I know you're more than capable of attacking us...
and that you're preventing it.
But now my will alone isn't enough to guarantee peace.
The Han disguised as Puyo soldiers to wipe out a business troop I sent.
They're trying to widen the rift between us.
I'm here to suggest we join forces to fight the Han's conspiracy.
Daeso is the King of Puyo now.
That's for him to decide.
Your only chance of survival is for him to join us.
Please convince him.
I'll go with whatever Daeso says.
What should we do about Jumong?
He came in person to attend your coronation.
It'll impress the other envoys. There's no reason to turn him away.
Yodong's governor will be here soon.
We might have a problem if they find out he's here.
There's nothing to gain by upsetting the Han.
You're wrong.
We have a lot to gain if we can utilize our relationship with Koguryo.
It's your call.
Think which side will benefit us more and choose that country to be our ally.
You mean we have to choose one or the other?
That's right.
We're not strong enough to fight so we must be very diplomatic.
The Prime Minister is right.
Your Highness!
What is it?
The Queen has collapsed.
Mother!
What happened?
She collapsed all of a sudden but I don't know why.
Mother.
Daeso...
What's wrong with her?
She's in critical condition but I can't see why.
You can't see why? But you're the royal physician!
Forgive me.
Call Mauryung and tell her to look after her.
- I will. - Hurry.
Mother.
He's here to form an alliance.
What alliance?
How else can I avenge my father without killing him?
We must kill him.
He must die.
Your Highness, you must be careful.
You don't have any guards.
If they plot a conspiracy, we might not be able to stop it.
He's right.
It's not too late to leave Puyo.
I won't return before talking to Prince Daeso.
Then we must station the Iron Army near the border...
and deter them from even thinking about harming you.
He's right.
We must do all we can to guarantee your safety.
I'll return and get them ready.
There's unnecessary.
Too many envoys are here, watching how Puyo will react.
Now that everyone knows I'm here to help Puyo...
they can't harm me without a legitimate reason.
Father.
I don't understand why you don't mind the humiliation.
Isn't Puyo your enemy state?
It might look like that now...
but this is where I grew up and dreamed about establishing Koguryo.
If I think of Puyo as an enemy state, I'll never be able to beat the Han.
Koguryo's enemy is the Han, not Puyo.
I need your permission on something.
What is it?
There's a tournament to commemorate the coronation.
I'd like to see how good I am.
Let me participate.
He's more than able to take first place.
Let him participate.
Very well.
Go ahead.
I'll do my best.
Put that down, put that down.
You should be in bed. Why are you up already?
I'm fine.
The coronation ceremony will start soon.
Everyone's in the mood to party.
We have visitors from many countries. Even Koguryo's Emperor is here.
Emperor Jumong is in Puyo?
Yes.
He used to be a prince of Puyo too.
Where are Yuri and Dubong?
Jeez...
Next.
What's your name?
It's Sangchun.
This is Prince Piryu of Koguryo.
He will participate in the tournament.
Prince Piryu of Koguryo wishes to join the tournament.
Won't we look silly if he gets first place?
Let him participate but...
select a skilled bodyguard and enter him as well.
I will.
This is Sorceress Mauryung.
Come in.
Did you examine my mother?
Yes.
How come even the royal physician can't tell what's wrong?
She's ill because a dark force is surrounding us.
The coronation is coming up. Why would there be a dark force?
It's all because Emperor Jumong is here.
His energy is pressing down on ours.
You mean my mother will be ill for as long as he's here?
I'll pray on her behalf...
but I can't guarantee her recovery.
Your Highness! Where the heck have you been?
Am I supposed to tell you everything?
It makes me mad to think Daeso will become King.
Emperor Jumong is in Puyo.
I went drinking, not you. Why are you talking like a drunk?
I'm serious!
Emperor Jumong came to make an alliance with Puyo.
Are you sure?
Yes.
If Puyo becomes Koguryo's ally after Daeso becomes King...
I'll be completely ruined.
I need Daeso to become allies with the Han.
What should we do?
When do the Han envoys arrive?
They should be on their way now.
Let's go and meet them. Hurry!
OK.
Whoa.
You shouldn't have come all the way out here.
I have some important news.
What is it?
Something unexpected has happened.
Emperor Jumong is in Puyo on a goodwill mission.
If that's true, it's an insult to us.
I'm here to deliver our Emperor's letter.
If Puyo rejects our offer of an alliance...
we'll consider Puyo our enemy and prepare to attack you too.
We're already preparing an attack on Koguryo.
(Koguryo Palace)
Daeso will try to figure out whether he should choose us or the Han.
The officers had to disarm and the royal guards couldn't enter.
I fear for the Emperor's safety.
We should move our troops to the border in case Daeso plots something.
We can't do that without the Emperor's order.
My father is right.
The Emperor's not depending on his men.
He's depending on his willpower to make the alliance happen.
Let's trust him and wait.
He's chief of the Sungsan tribe.
It's an honor to meet you.
Pay me a visit whenever you need help.
I am very grateful.
This is King of Yangmek.
I didn't know you'd come in person.
We would like to become your ally.
I'll send an envoy as soon as I return to Koguryo.
Thank you.
All the envoys are visiting EmperorJumong.
Yangmek's King wants to be his ally.
Your Highness.
Jumong's using your coronation to flex his political muscles.
Congratulations on your coronation.
Thank you for coming this far.
- Escort him to his chambers. - I will.
The Han Emperor wrote you a letter.
I also have some important news too.
I heard that Emperor Jumong's here to suggest a Koguryo-Puyo alliance.
He is.
What will you do?
I'm not yet King. I can't decide just yet.
But you will be very soon.
I heard you make all the calls.
If you become Koguryo's ally, you'll have to face us at war.
Choose us over them...
and we'll increase trade as well as send reinforcements.
Think about it.
I'm Hwangjagyung.
Remember me?
Yodong's governor?
I haven't forgotten what you did to me.
Don't forget I'm just waiting for a chance to get back at you.
I think you'll share Yangjung's fate.
If you fear for your life, return to the Capital.
Let's go.
What the... Isn't he...?
Do you know him?
He attacked my business troop in North Okjuh.
If that's true, we should kill him.
We're in Puyo.
Let's not cause any trouble. Stay put.
Sure.
Sangchun's victory!
Do you recognize me?
You caught me off guard in North Okjuh.
But not this time.
Don't get disqualified. See you in the final round.
He recognized us. Will it be OK?
He'd have made a fuss if he really wanted to.
Don't worry.
You beat two guys. Three more and you're in the finals.
Your Majesty.
Prince Piryu has reached the finals.
So you managed to beat all those impressive fighters.
Good job.
The finals will be held on the day of the coronation.
I'll show everyone how great we are.
What?! Makchun lost?
Yes, sir.
What should we do now that we have no one to face Prince Piryu?
The guy Makchun lost to is very good.
Don't worry.
Mother!
Mother!
Yuri made it to the tournament finals.
Huh?
The finals will be held on the day of the coronation...
in front of all the envoys.
I'm fighting Prince Piryu of Koguryo.
Wait and see.
I'll beat him and do what you told me to.
What's that?
It's nothing.
What happened?
The ceremony has started.
Help me get up. I should go.
Your Highness, you should stay in bed.
You know how long I've been waiting for this day.
I can't believe I won't get to see Daeso on his glorious day.
Your Highness....
This is allJumong's fault.
His evil spirit will ruin both Daeso and Puyo.
Now that my reign has ended, I'd like to leave the Palace.
Leave?
Where will you go?
Wherever the wind takes me. I'll live amongst the people.
Father.
I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn.
Stay here and help me through.
No, you'll do just fine.
Will you form an alliance with Koguryo?
I haven't decided yet.
I trust you, but here's some advice.
Don't let your grudge control you.
Cast off your hatred towards Jumong and make the right decision for Puyo.
I'll keep that in mind.
What are you doing here?
Your son made it to the finals. You should cheer him on.
Go on.
Hurry.
And what if that guy loses to Prince Piryu?
From what I've heard, the Puyo kid's better than any royal bodyguard.
It should be fine. Don't worry.
If we lose, I'll hold you responsible.
Great weather...
Begin!
Are you crying?
No.
Silly thing.
Oi.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I think I saw Yesoya in the crowd.
Look for her.
I will.
Let's look again.
Forgive me.
That's fine.
You did well.
Are you OK?
Yes.
Get some rest.
Your Majesty.
How did it go?
Did you find her?
We couldn't.
I think you were mistaken.
Drink up.
You did me a favor. Thank you.
Naro.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Make him a bodyguard and let him guard me.
I will.
I'll meet Jumong to discuss the alliance.
Send a messenger.
I will.
King Daeso went to see EmperorJumong.
What if he chooses Koguryo over us?
King Daeso isn't a fool. Don't worry.
Why don't we get rid of the root cause?
Jumong's men are disarmed and he has no bodyguards.
Are you saying we should kill him?
Isn't that our best bet?
I didn't acknowledge you until now...
but from now on I'll acknowledge both you and Koguryo.
But that doesn't mean we have an alliance.
I have a plan to rebuild Puyo without becoming your ally.
So you'll form an alliance with the Han?
I should, if it will benefit Puyo.
If you refuse my offer and form an alliance with the Han...
I have no choice but to attack you.
Your people will die even before you start rebuilding Puyo.
Are you threatening me?!
Think what will benefit Puyo and what the people want.
My own father and mother died here.
Don't you see why I still want to be your ally?
I let go of my grudge because my mission is to beat the Han.
And I want you to join me.
I'm King Daeso's bodyguard so I can go anywhere in the Palace.
What should I look for?
There's a detached palace...
where King Kumwa's concubine lived.
The proof you need is hidden under a pillar.
What is it?
The tip of a sword.
Who gave it to you?
How will it prove who I am?
I'll tell you when you find it.
What are you doing here?
I'm new here. I got lost.
I have a question.
Why didn't you kill me back then?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I like the way you fight.
You haven't been trained properly so it was hard to fend you off.
I admit my loss but I'll beat you next time.
Your Majesty.
King Daeso's with Yodong's governor.
I don't like the fact that King Daeso hasn't given you an answer.
Puyo's ministers are negotiating with the Han envoys.
I told him what I want. It's up to King Daeso now.
If Puyo chooses the Han, they might want to harm you.
You must return soon.
Now that I'm here...
I'd like to go to Mt. Chunmu.
Where's Mt. Chunmu?
Why does he want to go there?
Commander Haemosu died on Mt. Chunmu.
Have you made up your mind?
It's tough. The people dislike the Han too much.
I need more time to think.
I trust you, no matter what you do.
Your Majesty.
What is it?
Jumong wants to go to Mt. Chunmu.
What should I do?
Let them do whatever they want.
I will.
He's here.
I have an important assignment for you.
I'm ready.
Koguryo's envoys will leave to visit Mt. Chunmu.
Tail them and tell me what Emperor Jumong is up to.
Understand?
Yes, sir.
Did Jumong really go to Mt. Chunmu?
Yes.
The gods are helping us.
I heard that his men are great fighters.
Can you manage?
Don't worry.
That's where Haemosu passed away.
I'm blind.
But it doesn't stop me from using a sword.
Do you know why?
An average man sees his sword...
but a master feels it.
That's how they manage to block sudden attacks coming from behind.
The minute you grab a sword it should become your limb...
and not just any weapon.
This goes for all weapons like spears and bows as well as swords.
Gather your energy and attack again.
Father.
I'm at war against Puyo now.
I said I hold no grudges...
but I resent King Daeso for what he did to you.
I wonder if trying to embrace him is just a waste of time.
Shed light upon my path so that my grudges won't blind me.
He was tailing us.
Did King Daeso send you?
That means he's plotting something.
We know what King Daeso's up to. There's no point in staying here.
Let's kill the boy and return to Koguryo.
You may go.
Your Majesty!
What harm could one boy do?
If King Daeso wanted us dead, he'd have sent more men.
Go.
What now?
I'll return to the Palace and settle things with King Daeso.
Let's go.
Very well.
