I would bet my life on it.
Do we have to do this?
Going across the border is the fastest way to Balhae.
We could get into big trouble unless we disguise ourselves as Georan.
Don't even think about it.
They are looking for members of Balhae's militia.
Those who fought here were not from the regular army of Balhae.
They were from the militia corps.
They used to be ordinary farmers.
Give me the reins. I'll take it from here.
I'm fine.
I'm bored. I'm bored to death.
Take a nap.
Or...
sing a song.
What is wrong with you? You seem upset.
You have done so much for me, I wanted to repay in kind and save your life.
Yet all I get in return is your scorn.
Would you like to know why I am angry?
You were almost killed, Your Highness.
You are to become king.
Your life does not only belong to you, but to your people.
What you did could have resulted in the loss of more innocent lives.
You shouldn't worry so much.
The only reason I'm accompanying you is to visit my mother's graveyard.
We are almost there.
There should be an emissary from Balhae waiting for us.
What's wrong?
You don't look well.
I'm okay.
Let's rest for a moment.
We must go.
We can't slow down because of me.
Take my hand.
I may not be able to protect you, but I do not wish to be a burden.
Let's go, please.
You said the life of a king is not his own...
and that he should run away, even if his man is dying.
Suppose I do agree to become the king of Balhae.
You're telling me that I should become the kind of king...
who only thinks about himself, although his man is dying?
Is that your idea of a king?
If so...
I will never take the throne.
Please let me go. It is customary for you to receive a formal greeting.
I, Jocheonsu, under General lmsunji, greet Your Highness, Prince Jeonghyeon.
What happened to you?
Sir...
Yes.
Please take care of the prince.
Soha!
Is it serious?
Tell me what's wrong with her.
She's been poisoned.
I think it's too late.
I've received word that lmsunji dispatched his army to protect the prince.
Do you understand what this means?
Once they arrive, our opportunity will be gone.
I'll finish the mission before they arrive.
The royal court wants more than your assurance.
So they have sent the Golden Bow Army.
They will capture the prince.
The Killer Blade Army will withdraw and wait for a new mission.
But--
It's the order of the court!
You dare to defy the court?
I called you here because of Gunhwapyeong.
The Killer Blade Army should have accomplished what they set out to do.
But the Golden Bow Army has already been dispatched.
If they take the honor of victory...
I cannot keep my promise to Gunhwapyeong.
Send us please. We will succeed.
I wish I could, but I have my orders.
Although, there may still be a way.
Would you give yourself?
Of course.
Do you understand what I am asking?
I am a warrior.
If there is a way for you to succeed, don't you think you should take it?
Don't you agree?
Don't you have any regrets about changing your allegiance?
Why do you ask? Do you?
My concern is not with a country. I am only here to serve you.
No matter your title or status...
you're always the same person to me.
It won't take long.
Once the last prince is killed, our dream will come true.
With Georan's help...
I will establish my own country on Balhae's territory.
She is no longer at death's door.
She should regain consciousness soon.
You should go to visit your mother.
Yayulcheolla has ordered us to leave...
before the Golden Bow Army arrives.
I will never forget what you wished for.
Have you contacted the Golden Bow Army?
Of course.
They would have attacked had they not been warned of your impending arrival.
Prince Jeonghyeon will die.
No matter who finds him, the Killer Blades or the Golden Bows.
What do you mean? You're still thinking like that?
The court wants the prince alive.
Do you think you will get away with this?
The people of Balhae have killed you.
Better yet, Prince Jeonghyeon killed you.
So I had no choice but to kill Jeonghyeon to avenge you.
It's a simple story.
You ingrate.
He is dead.
Relay the sad news of his death to the Golden Bow Army.
I think you should go.
Yeonsoha may be awake by now.
I should.
Your name is Jocheonsu, right?
Yes, Your Highness.
You look familiar.
I have seen you before on the battlefield...
General Keumhwee.
How is the wound on your back?
Your Highness, Jocheonsu is back from headquarters.
Chief of assault team, Jocheonsu, here to see you, Your Highness.
You are severely wounded.
I will call the medics to escort you back to headquarters.
It will only take a few days, Your Highness.
I remember you now.
Chief of assault team, Jocheonsu.
Go and pay your final respects. Take your time.
I will.
Thank God. You're awake.
The prince is not here.
He went to Lady Oh's grave.
He guarded you all through the night.
Gunhwapyeong is here!
Is that how Gunhwapyeong indicates he's on the hunt?
The prince is in danger.
Mother.
I'm here.
I survived no matter what...
as I promised you.
Are you pleased?
Aren't you Jocheonsu, who was once known as One-Strike Killer?
It's been a long time, Gunhwapyeong.
I've heard enough about your brutal killings.
Leave now. I will meet up with you later.
Hurry!
Now that you've met me, I think your killing days are over.
We must hurry.
Have you fully recovered?
Yes, I'm fine. Let's go.
Better than expected, Gunhwapyeong.
Unfortunately, you're just an old tiger now.
This... This is...
To the victor goes the spoils.
Your Highness!
Have you already exhausted yourself?
I know what's happening to you.
If you overexert your poisoned body...
your blood vessels will constrict.
If you continue to utilize your military techniques, you'll die.
You're right. I may die if I use my military techniques.
But that doesn't mean that I won't.
What's happening?
Stop right there.
Jocheonsu is dead.
And now...
I'm going to kill the prince.
There is a way. But killing me will cost you your life.
Do you know what it takes to deliver that blow?
It requires the will to kill.
You have to be consumed by it.
The sword...
it's not for killing.
It is for protecting what is precious.
Nobody can stop me.
Just sit there, helpless to do anything...
and watch your prince die.
That sword.
You know it well.
Your father gave identical swords to two young princes.
How did you...?
Because I killed Prince Suhyeon.
Your Highness, teach me how to use the sword.
Why do you want to learn?
Both my father and mother were killed by the Georan people.
I want to learn how to fight.
The sword is not for killing or hurting people.
Rather, it is for protecting what is precious.
Let me ask you one thing:
Why did you keep it?
I saved it to kill you...
the last in the lineage.
You're mistaken.
That is not the secret sword you think it is.
But this sword...
possesses the valuable spirit of Soha.
I must save that spirit.
No matter what.
There exists a Body-Attack technique...
that I used to kill both Prince Suhyeon and Jocheonsu.
I will also use it to kill you. Slowly.
It is the secret skill of Balhae's royal family.
There was only one military technique...
that I mastered completely.
I learned how to absorb inner shock. It is a pity you did not.
You never had a chance with me.
Why?
Why didn't you tell me?
You must leave Cheonaegok now.
I'm asking you why.
You... Did you really think I'd be the king?
Since the day I met you in Jungwon...
I've never doubted. Not even once.
Because you will always be...
the same person you were 14 years ago.
Without you...
I wouldn't be here.
You gave me a reason to live...
even after I had lost everything.
You did the same for me...
fourteen years ago.
It's General lmsunji and the soldiers of Balhae.
Please get ready to meet them.
Soha!
I have no chance.
What are you talking about?
Everything is finished. We're almost there.
Please stay with me for a while.
I beg you.
Your Highness...
I kept my promise.
I couldn't...
save your life.
Something more...
Something more precious than my life was saved.
The sword is...
for protecting what is precious.
It is, isn't it?
We were robbed of our castle...
our land...
and our country.
They even invaded our capital...
and changed the name of the palace.
Our people have died.
They beseech us...
to recover the valuable things they have lost.
So, in this battle...
we are not going to falter or fail! We'll continue to fight.
If our swords break, we'll fight with our hands.
If we have no strength left, our eyes will pierce the enemies.
If our eyes get plucked out...
we will cry out to the heavens about their sin.
We'll let them know...
that they can never take anything away from us.
This castle will once again be named Holhan Palace...
and we'll restore our country!
Charge!
The medics have arrived to escort you.
General.
Yes, Your Highness.
This child has lost both parents.
Please take care of her.
Yes, sir.
Do you remember everything I told you?
Yes.
Will you promise to always remember and honor what I have told you?
Yes, I promise.
