You cannot leave your chambers. Try...
and I'll be forced to take appropriate measures.
So watch out.
- Let's go! - Yes, sir.
Your Highness.
Don't cry.
I won't let tears hide my anger and humiliation.
You're excused.
< Episode 35 >
I heard you confined her.
The ministers might talk. Why did you do that?
I wanted to make you feel better.
Don't let Lady Yuhwa get to you anymore.
I know how you feel.
But the ministers and the public might accuse you...
of disrupting the Palace while His Majesty is ill.
I don't care what others say.
I'll punish all who speak such nonsense without knowing what you went through.
- Everything's under control? - Yes.
Make sure she doesn't leave and don't let anyone inside.
I will, Commander.
Is there nothing we can do?
We have to do something!
Yeah.
Let's kill them all and get Lady Yuhwa out.
We can bring her back when the King recovers.
Don't get carried away.
Prince Daeso will jump at any chance to harm her.
We mustn't give him an opportunity.
Dang.
She's been confined? Who would do such a thing?
Prince Daeso.
This means he's out to harm all those who were close to King Kumwa.
Things will only get worse and it will affect you too.
Why don't you return to Keru?
That will only provoke Prince Daeso.
She's right.
You chose Puyo and turned your back on the Han.
Once Prince Daeso marries Yangjung's daughter...
you will become public enemies.
Songyang is watching us.
If I retreat to Keru now...
even the other chiefs will look down on us.
We should stay here and think what to do next.
Will King Kumwa recover?
I don't know. The wound is very deep.
I have to go back and treat him again...
but with Lady Yuhwa in confinement...
I'll think of something.
King Kumwa's recovery is our only way out.
Mauryung, what's wrong?
A mysterious energy... is pressing down on me.
I've been feeling the same way too.
What about you, Hyunmu?
Same here.
This can only mean someone more powerful is in Puyo.
Who could that be?
I think Yeomieul is back.
You mean Yeomieul is in Puyo?
I'm not sure but it's a possibility.
- Are you there, Jonggo? - Yes.
Call Youngpo immediately.
I will, Your Highness.
Do you know Yeomieul went to Keru?
So I've heard.
I think she's back in Puyo.
I'm sure she's back to see the King.
But he kicked her out.
Why would she risk her life to see him?
You don't know how close they used to be.
If she knew of his condition, she'd want to heal him.
What do you want me to do?
If she is here, you must kill her.
She will only do us harm.
Daeso is too busy to do anything so I want you to take care of it.
OK, Mother.
Ow, ow...
- Ouch, this stings! - Stop being a baby, will you?
You and your temper. Jeez...
I'm so sorry, sir. It's all my fault for telling him.
I don't have hard feelings towards you.
I had no choice. Naro drew his sword at me.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Daeso is the jerk.
Mopalmo...!
Don't!
Nothing scares me now.
You can live as long as you want.
He'll kill you if you don't make a steel sword in five days.
Get moving, will you?
Forget it.
Consider me a dead man.
What do you mean?
Just make one for him.
You can'tjust die like this.
Do as he says.
I'd rather die than give my sword to Daeso.
Is everything OK?
Yes.
We've surrounded them but she hasn't come out so far.
Why don't we just barge in?
I'm trying to be discreet.
Get rid of her when she comes out.
OK, Your Highness.
Let's go.
Are you ready?
You can't leave now.
We're being watched.
Sir.
What is it?
She just left.
Let's go.
Get them!
Let's go.
Well done. I'll escort her. Wait here.
OK, sir.
This way.
Mopalmo has five days to make a sword stronger than the Han's...
or Prince Daeso will kill him.
I think he really means it.
We have to save him.
What did you say?
Forgive me. They tricked us and we lost her.
Do you know where she went?
I don't.
You pathetic fool!
Let's go!
Why that...
How did it go?
You must leave immediately.
Come with me.
Your Highness.
- What's the matter? - There's something you must see.
It's been a while.
I used to fear that piercing gaze.
But now your life is in my hands.
Only the gods govern my fate.
The gods?
Do you think saying that will scare me now?
I'm not the Youngpo you used to know.
You still are to me.
Pathetic and foolish.
Killing me will curse you for the rest of your life.
Kill me, if you think you can handle it.
You wretch.
Are you trying to fool me with a silly threat?!
You're not Puyo's Sorceress anymore.
I have no reason to fear you.
Sheath your sword!
Daeso.
What's this about?
Well, you see...
What brings you here?
I heard the King is in a bad way and came to heal him.
Leave us.
She won't do us any good.
We must kill her now!
I told you to leave!
You're excused too.
The King kicked you out...
yet you came here to heal him.
Thank you.
Had I known of your intentions, I would've sent an official invitation.
How is he? Do you think he'll recover?
Even the royal physician and Mauryung have given up.
The wound is deep so I can't guarantee you anything.
I'll provide you with a place to stay.
I want you to stay and treat him.
I've already done all I can.
We must leave his fate to the heavens.
I should go now.
You saved my life when the wound Haemosu gave me...
very nearly killed me.
I'll let you go, so consider us even.
What?
Daeso let Yeomieul go.
You mean she treated the King?
She did, but he's still unconscious.
Really?
That's my Daeso.
What do you mean?
By letting her go, Daeso has done all he can to help the King.
The ministers and the public will be moved to hear what he did.
- Musong. - Hi.
Why are you here?
We're going to sneak Mopalmo out.
How will you do that when guards watch him day and night?
We'll think of something. Just tell him we're coming for him.
We'll be there tonight.
Mopalmo, Mopalmo...
...so be ready.
- Tell them not to risk their lives. - Don't say that.
They'll take care of everything. Just be ready to leave.
Shouldn't you at least pretend you're working? Go on.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see Lord Yuntabal.
I heard you're Head of Bodyguards now.
Congratulations.
What brings you here?
Prince Daeso would like to see you both. Get ready to come with me.
We will.
Let's drink.
I heard you're standing in for the King.
Forgive me for not visiting sooner.
Lord Yuntabal.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'm going to marry Yangjung's daughter soon.
Congratulations.
But it's just politics, nothing more nothing less.
I'm sure you know I love Sosuhno.
I'd like to take her as my wife.
Your Highness.
Should you and Sosuhno refuse...
I too will take back all your privileges.
I will refuse you the right to trade on our behalf...
and call back the blacksmiths we sent to Keru.
The King gave us his word.
I won't accept your demand based on such conditions.
Sosuhno.
Aren't you intelligent enough to know where this is leading to?
I'm in control now.
You don't have the right or authority to turn me down.
Refuse my proposal and I won't forgive you or your troop.
He'll refuse our trading rights...
and call back the blacksmiths he sent...
but he won't stop there.
He'll threaten our tribe after that.
What should we do now?
My Lord.
A letter from Chief Yangtak.
What does it say?
Songyang is meeting the other chiefs in secret.
They might unite to attack Keru.
No one would want to marry a man they don't like.
But our welfare is on the line.
Your beloved Jumong is dead now.
So please, stop being stubborn.
Make the right choice, for our sake.
Now...
it's my turn to realize his dream.
I will save the migrants...
and regain our lost land.
Miss.
It's time to get Mopalmo.
Got it.
- Keep a close eye on him. - OK, sir.
They're here.
We have to go now.
Won't you be in trouble?
Don't worry about us. Let's get out of here.
Hurry up!
OK.
You're safe now.
Go to Keru.
We'll protect you.
You'll be in trouble for this.
Don't worry.
Our bodyguards will escort you to Keru.
They'll bother me once they notice Mopalmo's gone.
I'll go to Keru too.
They'll question you too. Come with us, huh?
We have to stay and protect Lady Yuhwa.
Don't worry about us.
Take care of yourself.
We'll see you again someday.
All right then. Bye.
See you soon.
Forgive me.
Pathetic fools.
What did I tell you?
I told you to watch them closely!
If he really can make better swords, we must get him back.
We must, by all means!
I'll find him.
Where is Mopalmo?
What do you mean?
We've been here all evening.
Only you guys would do such a thing.
Commander.
They really were on duty.
I'll vouch for them.
- Search every corner of the city! - Yes, sir.
I should go and bring Yangsullan over.
Daeso.
Yes?
You're getting married for political reasons...
but once you're married she'll be your wife and a Puyo citizen.
She's coming all the way here for you.
Don't put her through what I had to endure.
Do you understand?
Have a safe trip.
Miss, this is Hauchun.
Come in.
Prince Daeso is here.
He is?
Welcome, Prince Daeso.
I hope you've been well.
You're in control of Puyo now. Why wouldn't I be well?
Congratulations.
Welcome.
I've been fine but Yangsullan was in much agony.
She couldn't stop wondering when you'd come for her.
Father...
How is King Kumwa doing?
He's still very ill.
I feel bad for him but that's what he gets for starting a war.
We too suffered a great loss because of the war.
For your sake, I won't demand any direct compensation.
But I want to review our terms of trade.
Let's do that.
Quite a few migrants left Jinbun and Imdoon for Puyo.
Send them back.
But...
If you don't...
I can't stop the Emperor or the Yodong army from attacking you.
Very well.
As long as we're in power...
Puyo and the Han will never fight again.
I do trust Daeso but still, I'm not sure I want you to go...
just when we ended a war against them.
Don't worry about me.
I will be a queen everyone looks up to.
The Puyo people will revere and fear me at the same time.
I will gain control of Puyo.
Wait and see.
You'll do just fine.
Write home whenever you need help.
It's me, Wootae.
Come in.
Wootae.
What is it?
I...
want to marry you.
Miss.
What do you mean?
How can I...
If you don't accept...
I have to become Prince Daeso's concubine.
You can go back to Keru.
Severing our ties with Puyo doesn't mean we can't survive.
Things are different now.
Once Prince Daeso gets married, the Han and Puyo will become allies.
That will isolate us.
But Prince Daeso can't do much to a married woman.
He went to Hyunto to escort Yangjung's daughter back.
This is my only chance.
I know how sudden and absurd this is.
But I don't have any time or choice.
Prince Jumong is all I can think of...
but he'll fade away with time.
I've trusted and relied on you since I was a child.
I hope you'll understand and say yes.
I can do anything you ask me to, even if it will lead me to my death.
I'm just not sure I deserve to be your man.
What's this meeting about?
I have something to tell you.
I'm going to marry Wootae.
Sosuhno, what are you talking about?
You're marrying Wootae? Why?
What's going on? Tell me.
If my Lord will let me, I'd like to marry Lady Sosuhno.
You prick!
What are you on about?
You marry Sosuhno?
My Lord, he must be out of his mind.
Come outside. Right now.
Silence, everyone.
Tell me what this is about.
Prince Daeso threatened us, but I won't become his concubine.
Wootae knows me well and he's looked after me so far.
And I know he always will.
I know why you want to marry him...
but you shouldn't use marriage to hide from reality.
Stop her, Yuntabal.
Marrying Prince Daeso is a much smarter choice for us all.
What will he do when he finds out she married Wootae?
Why are you so selfish?
Don't you know why this happened?
We're in this mess because you insisted on being Puyo's supplier.
If you really care about us, you must marry Prince Daeso.
Auntie.
We are facing a serious crisis...
but I will overcome it.
But I won't do so by marrying Prince Daeso.
Have faith in me.
Did you have to do that?
I wanted you to marry a nice girl, start a family and be happy.
Sosuhno will take Lord Yuntabal's place.
Don't you know how rough that'll be?
Why should you marry her?
Change your mind.
Father.
I know how unhappy you are about this.
But I need to look after her.
I'm just glad she chose me to help her escape the crisis we're in.
If her future is rough...
then I will protect her.
That's what makes me happy.
Why, why does this have to happen to me?
Why are you so quiet?
Say something.
I respect your decision. It's the best choice for now.
It's just that...
Go on.
I feel sorry for Wootae.
Prince Jumong is all you can think of.
It's a pity he has to put up with that.
I'll forget...
Prince Jumong.
From now on...
I'll adore Wootae.
You can't forget a loved one by will.
I'll forget him.
I'll forget him completely.
What's the point of missing someone who abandoned me?
I will forget him.
I will.
I'll forget him...
You were looking for me?
Any news of King Kumwa's recovery?
Not yet.
But I heard Lady Sosuhno got married.
Who did she marry?
She married Wootae.
Sosuhno's future will be very perilous.
What do you mean?
Wootae was surrounded by a shadow.
A shadow?
I think it was the shadow of death.
Where is the owner of this sword?
Where are you?
Jeez... Give that to me.
- Don't I look good? - Give it back!
This sword is meant for Prince Jumong.
I know how loyal you are...
but what's the use of a dead man?
Leave the past behind and serve a living person.
I think you should serve Lady Sosuhno.
What do you think?
Sosuhno?
Yeah.
She might be a girl but she has more guts than anyone I know.
I might bring Mooduk over and settle down here.
You should think about it too.
Your Highness...
You must be tired.
We should hold a grand ceremony...
but we can't because the King is ill.
We'll offer prayers to the gods instead.
I hope you're not too disappointed.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Your wedding is a national celebration.
I'll release our prisoners and distribute grain and salt to the people.
Good idea.
Your Highness.
I think it's time you release Lady Yuhwa.
You must show the people how merciful you are.
I'll do as you say.
You're beautiful.
We're all very blessed to have someone as dignified as you.
But I can't even compare with you.
You'll become Queen soon.
Everything will be new but you must learn our customs.
I will.
Make sure Daeso can rest while he's with you.
And try to keep the Palace organized.
Remember, Puyo's Palace depends on you.
I'll remember that.
Your Highness.
Is something troubling you?
I feel strange.
Everyone's celebrating Daeso's wedding.
I wonder why I feel so empty.
It's because you don't have a wife.
You fool, that's not it.
I don't care for women.
Then what do you care for?
I once wanted to be Crown Prince but I don't think it's for me.
I suddenly lost my purpose in life. That's why I feel empty.
You'll never understand how I feel.
You can always make something up.
There's no point. I'm bored with life. I'm bored.
Your Highness. I have something to say.
What is it?
You said you'd give me a chance to make up what I'd lost.
You never got back to me on that.
You jerk!
I told you I'm bored with life!
Must I bother myself with you now?
Just wait.
Your Highness, Your...
I can't believe I bet everything on such a fool. I must've been crazy.
Have you found Mopalmo?
Forgive me. We're still looking for him.
Find him before he passes his techniques on.
OK.
Your Highness.
Go on.
While you were away in Hyunto...
Sosuhno married Wootae, her bodyguard.
She did what?
- What is it? - Your Highness.
You're free to leave your chambers.
Prince Daeso has married Yangjung's daughter.
I must see the King.
What brings you here?
Did you really get married?
Yes.
You got married too. Why not me?
You did that to escape me, didn't you?
Watch what you're saying.
I married him because I trust him with my life.
Be quiet!
I warned you what would happen if you turned me down.
Do you know what you just did?
I too have told you I wouldn't marry you.
I'll show you what happens to those who mock me.
Sosuhno.
Don't worry.
The people watch his every move now.
He can't harm us without a good reason.
How is he?
He still hasn't regained consciousness.
He hasn't gotten better at all?
He is breathing a bit easily but that's not enough to be sure.
Are you upset?
Not at all. Why would I be on such a happy day?
The heavy workload seems to be taking its toll.
It'll help me become a better King.
I want to make Puyo a powerful nation.
Only then can we live in peace.
I too want to help you become King of a powerful nation.
I'm now your wife and a Puyo citizen.
Thank you.
Your Majesty.
It's time you wake up.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Highness. All the ministers are very impressed.
Prince Daeso will make a great King.
Of course he will. I bet.
Youngpo, is something bothering you?
No.
You should find a bride too.
I really like Yangsullan.
Your Highness.
What's the matter?
The King has regained consciousness.
Is that true?
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness, this is Naro. I have something urgent to tell you.
What is it?
You should go to the King's chamber.
He's awake.
Yeomieul.
What's the matter?
The three-legged crow has reappeared.
