~ FINAL EPISODE ~
Let's go!
Escort the Princess, now!
Let me go!
Do what I say, or I shan't forgive you.
- Escort her out, now! - Yes!
Your Majesty!
It's Baegeuk!
We shall take a shortcut up the mountain.
We are moving up the mountain. Get moving!
Yes!
What happened?
We lost Daean Fortress!
Muhyul is marching towards our capital.
Buyeo Fortress is in peril!
We must withdraw back to the capital!
Lieutenant!
Lieutenant.
The Goguryeo troops started attacking our rearward battalions.
Even if we lose part of our army, we shan't halt our march.
Let us continue advancing!
- We shall reach Buyeo Fortress! - Yes!
Your Majesty!
You shouldn't be here at this crucial juncture.
You must reinforce security within the capital,
and prepare to stop Goguryeo's offensive!
And what is that supposed to mean?
Daean Fortress fell into enemy hands,
and Muhyul is marching to the capital as we speak.
Dojin's march has been flushed with triumphs.
How could Muhyul be marching to the capital?
Announcing his withdrawal was nothing but Muhyul's stratagem.
Say what?!
Find out what's happening! Now!
It will take us three days to reach Buyeo Fortress from here.
We must now allow our foes to regroup, and immediately advance.
He's right, Your Majesty.
May you issue us deployment orders.
I shall lead the vanguard battalion.
It is exactly in this kind of situation that we should be prudent.
The Buyeo army might have suffered a severe defeat,
but considering all the troops in the capital and the adjoining fortresses,
thousands of troops will be waiting for us.
Buyeo Fortress is their most important stronghold,
so should we attack in haste, we might suffer severe casualties.
For starters,
we shall encamp near the plains in the outskirts of the capital,
where we will coordinate our offensive.
You feckless dullards!
I can hear Muhyul's vainglorious drums of victory from here,
and what on earth have you been doing to stop him?!
Your Majesty, the Lieutenant seeks audience.
Let him enter!
I never proclaimed you Crown Prince to witness such a miserable display.
How could you let Muhyul defeat you at the crucial last moment?
Triumph was about to grace our gates, so why did you disappoint me?!
Your Majesty!
The war is not over yet!
The heavens protect this stronghold of ours,
so if our men are willing to sacrifice their lives for our honor and legacy,
we shall vanquish Muhyul.
I shall condemn your misdeeds only after you have dealt with Muhyul.
You must stop him.
At least Buyeo Fortress shall never fall into his hands!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Lieutenant!
The Goguryeo army is encamped at the plains near the capital.
It will only take half a day to reach Buyeo Fortress from there!
Looks like they are preparing for a full offensive.
Summon a meeting immediately, and call all the lords of our neighboring fortresses.
Yes.
The Goguryeo army is encamped at the Palsan Plains.
If this keeps up, even Buyeo Fortress...
What are you trying to say?
Are you telling me to surrender to Muhyul?
I just want us to negotiate with him.
If we could only avoid defeat...
From this moment onwards,
should anyone even mention surrender, he shall join him in demise.
Our only path left...
is that of protecting the capital and repelling our foes.
Is that clear?!
Yes!
Close all the gates immediately,
and make sure nobody is allowed out.
Yes, Commander!
Lieutenant Commander!
The Goguryeo troops have begun their offensive!
Don't spare a single man, and slaughter them all!
Chief Marshal!
We can't continue this way!
Retreat! All retreat!
Retreat! Retreat!!
How did it go?
We failed.
They were staunchly defending the gates.
No matter how strongly we attacked, they wouldn't stand back.
What is the matter?
I am glad you returned unscathed.
How could you come all the way here?
What did I tell you?
To stop Her Highness from coming here whatever it took, didn't I?
Ahh... and who would ever confront her pertinacity?
As if you are disappointed to see her.
I did all I could to stop her, so I leave any punishment to you.
Don't you worry.
Chief Maro was responsible for quite the meritorious service.
What are you talking about?
You little dimwit.
King Daeso mercilessly killed him,
so he couldn't help but bolster our troops' resolve.
They will use all their angst to vanquish Buyeo!
What is the point? We can't even make use of that angst.
And what is that supposed to mean?
I would love to behead King Daeso now and quench Maro's anguish,
but things are not going as we expected.
Attacking Buyeo Fortress is proving much more difficult than expected.
You really know a way to attack Buyeo Fortress?
Yes.
There is a pathway leading inside the fortress.
We used that for smuggling when we dealt with Buyeo traders.
Not even Buyeo troops know about it.
And where is that?
Ahh... Buyeo Fortress's...
Here, back in the rear cliff.
And how are we going to get through that?
You can do it.
I have used that for trade a few times already.
Can you show us that path?
You don't even need to ask.
I shall take the battalion and infiltrate through this,
so you two attack the main fortress gates.
Yes, Your Majesty!
We might have a chance to get our hands on Muhyul, after all.
What are you talking about?
Isn't Princess Yeon Muhyul's weakest spot?
If you use her to lure him...
Utter that nonsense one more time,
and those will be your last words.
Forgive me.
Lieutenant!
What is the matter?
Goguryeo troops are advancing towards the capital.
Looks like they are preparing for a full offensive.
General Oh and Chief of Security, you two head for the southern gates,
while Generals Wang and Myeong shall defend our northern gates.
Yes!
- Everyone else, follow me. - Yes!
You must not let them penetrate our gates.
Yes!
Shoot!
Don't let them advance!
Shoot!
You find Lady Yeon's whereabouts.
You must find her at all costs.
We must get her out of here.
Yes.
Let's go!
Don't stand back!
Stop them!
Don't stand back. Stop them!
Lieutenant.
Muhyul infiltrated the fortress.
What are you prattling about?
It was Muhyul for sure.
Your Majesty!
You must escape outside the fortress right now.
Escape?!
Muhyul infiltrated the fortress.
Did they penetrate the gates already?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The Lieutenant is defending the gates,
so I don't know how they were able to enter.
You must escape now, Sire.
If we even lose Buyeo Fortress, where am I going to go? Where?!
Charge!
Lieutenant! We must escape!
The only thing your survival moved you to do...
was betraying Goguryeo?
Betray?!
The only thing left for you now...
is to perish.
Your Majesty.
We gained control of Buyeo Fortress.
Dojin?
Where is Dojin?
May you pardon us, but we lost his traces.
Orabeoni!
Have a seat.
I could endure your grandfather and father,
but you certainly give justice to their legacies.
I never even dreamed this day would come.
I shall congratulate you on this victory.
Let me pour you a drink.
Why did your illustrious legacy...
end in such a miserable way, without a single guard protecting you?
Even without your victorious dagger piercing me today,
the wounds of my soul were already haunting me,
cutting deep.
Seeing the same man who spent countless moons serving me...
run away for his life in daunted frenzy,
made me realize how much time I squandered.
Our relationship might have reached this nefarious juncture,
but we shall never deny Buyeo and Goguryeo are like brethren.
Should you acknowledge defeat right now,
I shall protect Your Majesty.
So you wish to make my end even more miserable.
How would a king who lost his subjects,
and couldn't protect his people, find a reason to survive?
I have one last request for you.
Tell me.
It was a most despairing conclusion,
but my longtime dream was that of creating a grandiose empire,
*Gojoseon
and recapturing all the land of our ancient Joseon* ancestors.
That was the reason I so staunchly fought with Jumong and Yuri.
But, in the end, I was vanquished by Jumong, Yuri...
and then you,
Muhyul.
May you slay me with this Heavenly Sword,
and build a grand and prosperous empire.
How long...
and adverse was my path.
It is now time I enjoy some respite.
Your demise, and this Buyeo of yours,
shall always be the proem which led us to build a great empire.
May the heavens bless your final journey.
Take care of his body,
and give him a respectful burial, acknowledging his legacy.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
We looked all over the capital, but there are no traces of Her Highness.
Dojin is nowhere to be found, either.
Looks like Dojin took her out of here.
That's enough. You can go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Excellency!
What is the matter?
We must seal the alley leading to the northern gates.
There, I have seen Maenggwang, one of Dojin's men.
Send troops there right now.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
We can't remain here in Buyeo for much longer,
so return to Goguryeo.
Everyone is waiting for you in Gungnae Fortress.
The Chief Marshal and the Hwanna chieftain shall remain here,
so you can be assured they will take care of this place.
What happened to Lady Yeon and Dojin?
We still can't find their whereabouts.
After Mahwang saw Maenggwang, we sent a large army their way,
but we couldn't find them.
Your Highness.
Why did Buyeo end up in this miserable state?
How dare you behave so unseemly in my presence?!
Get out of my sight.
"Unseemly"?!
You wench still can't understand what's going on.
Who is ever going to protect you wench now?
That Dojin who cherished you so much turning into a vile deserter,
and Buyeo's own downfall...
It is all because of you!
I shall behead you right here and now,
and at least quench this angst of mine.
Yeon!
Yeon!!
Yeon!
Yeon!!
His Majesty deigns you with his presence.
We shall earnestly congratulate your triumph, Sire.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
All the people in the capital are rejoicing at the news of your victory.
I shall let our people partake in this joyous triumph.
Not only the capital, but all our people over the country...
shall enjoy the spoils of our victory.
Your humble servant, Guchu, can barely contain his joy...
at witnessing the benevolence of three rulers,
but never before have I seen such a day of jubilation.
Your Majesty finally put an end to our country's quandaries,
so I shall gleefully accept demise, should it befall upon me on this very day.
Today's victory was the fruit of your meritorious service.
From the chieftains who spared no effort in providing for our campaign...
to the intrepid spirit of our warriors, who risked their lives on the battlefield.
Without you this would have never been possible.
But, this triumph of ours...
does not mean the end, but a mere beginning for us.
*Post-Xin restoration known as Eastern Han Dynasty, led by Liu Xiu in AD 25
We shall subjugate Nakrang for kneeling to the Han*,
after which we shall walk past the Luan River.
And until the day when we will strike the Han,
your king and this Goguryeo's victory-laden advance...
shall know no end.
I hear you ably mitigated our people's fervor.
It was a commendable effort.
You should see Hodong. He's grown another span in no time.
I have heard Princess Yeon's whereabouts are unknown.
No matter how hard I try, I will never substitute for a mother's embrace,
so I feel bad for Hodong.
I am grateful you are showing so much consideration for him.
Don't say that.
I might not have given birth to him,
but he still remains my son.
Your Majesty.
Are you going to keep letting Her Majesty look after Prince Hodong?
Myeongjin is practically the force controlling the Biryu clan,
and we know Her Majesty will soon try to push him as clan leader.
Is that true?
We are verifying its authenticity, so we shall soon find out.
What is worrying is that the Biryu clan is planning to disband the Council.
His Majesty's orders.
- Take him! - Yes!
What is this about?
You...
Your Majesty!
Is it true...
you lead the Biryu clan?
That is nonsense.
I have only been reflecting upon my misdeeds,
struggling to find a way to reward your benevolence.
Then, why did you conspire again with Buyeo?
Not only you conspired with them,
but His Majesty is even aware that you're trying to disband the Council!
Does Her Majesty...
know you conspired with Buyeo?
Your Majesty!
How could you say something so contemptible?
Tell him the truth.
Did I ever issue you such an order?
You never did.
Your Majesty.
I should be blamed for everything.
- To help the Biryu clan's resur... - You admitted your misdeeds,
so I shall punish you accordingly.
Daebo.
Yes.
Deprive the Biryu clan chieftains of their titles.
And Myeongjin...
shall be executed.
- Your Majesty! - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Take them out. - Yes!
Your Majesty... Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!
From this day onward,
the Biryu clan shall be led by a courtier appointed by myself.
Your Majesty.
It is a much too excessive reprisal.
The Biryu clan is where I was born and grew up.
How could you attempt to debase the clan that gave birth to your consort?
It is only...
to watch over your actions.
Chief of Security.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Escort the Empress to her quarters.
Yes.
When I saw you on the battlefield, my heart was torn to pieces.
I have warned you against it so many times, why go through such risk?
I was so worried about you, I couldn't bear to wait any longer.
The time I spent alone in the palace was too hard to endure.
Your Highness.
What on earth did you e...
Ahhh...
Yo...You are not telling me...
I will have to issue a request to His Majesty.
To let the entire creation know my feelings for you,
and allow you to stay by my side.
May I do that?
Ohh... careful, careful.
Careful, careful.
You foolish man.
It's me!
Chief Balso, you fool!
What happened to Maro's tablet?
It's in a shrine near the Girin caves.
I will have to go there.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It was a long conflict.
A lengthy war which started with His Deceased Majesty Jumong.
It only now looks like it might be over.
You quenched the anguish of your ancestors.
They will be rejoicing at your deeds from the netherworld.
But I lost way too many things in the process.
My brothers, Haemyeong and Yeojin.
Maro...
And countless good men.
Just like all the stars drenching that nightly sky,
many lights abandoned me in darkness.
But, by your side...
Your Majesty can still count on many people,
proud of serving you.
You must fulfill your most ardent wishes, together with them.
Careful... like that.
Master! Master.
Master!
Ahhh... you little fool...
In these prosperous times, you still go on prattling...
"Master! Master!"
Give it a rest, will you?
So, let's hear it.
You need to follow me somewhere.
Where?
- Your Highness! - Your Highness.
What happened to you?
Your Highness!
Your Highness... Your Highness!
Get the physician... now!
I already did.
Bring her inside, come on!
Did you really see Dojin?
Yes. I went after him but couldn't find anything.
Dojin left this for you.
From the moment I lost my brethren and parents in lonesome despair,
I wanted to get stronger.
It was because of my weakness...
that I couldn't protect the people I cherished.
So I wanted to find strength, to regain everything I had lost,
and protect all the people I loved.
Someone I resented my entire life,
but the compeer who once meant everything to me.
That is what you were to me.
I lost everything I loved because of you,
but I shall not resent you.
Muhyul.
The only one for me and you,
Yeon...
May you stay by her side during her final moments.
Lady Yeon?!
She is inside.
Forgive me.
I couldn't leave Dojin alone, after he had lost everything.
Despite knowing you were here for me,
I couldn't leave him.
I have a request, Sire.
Will you say my name once?
Yeon...
I always wanted to hear you say my name...
at least once.
Your ties with me only ended up hampering your path,
so I always felt guilty.
No.
What helped me go through everything I would have given up on otherwise...
was you.
The one who saved me at the Black Shadows camp.
The one who made me forget the nefarious fate the heavens bestowed upon me.
The one who always gave me strength...
was you.
Your Majesty.
Should I be born on this earth again,
let us not meet under crossed stars...
but under the same sky.
I thought the heavens were heartless.
But at least...
For the world they allowed me to see in the end...
in your warm embrace,
I shall forever be grateful.
No...
Don't...
I can't let you go this way.
Your Majesty...
I miss...
Hodong...
Yeon!
Five Years Later
Your Highness!
Where are you?
Your Highness!
Prince Hodong! Where are you?
Your Highness!
If you keep this up, I'm going to tell Her Majesty.
Your Highness, where are you?
This...
is a place no one can enter without my consent.
Forgive me.
But...
if it's you, Hodong, then it's all right.
But...
who is she?
I have never seen her before.
You want to know who she is?
Yes.
It's... your mother.
The woman who gave birth to you, your mother.
Do you wish to see her?
Yes.
And so do I.
There are words your mother left behind for you.
"You shall one day become King,
so become a benevolent and stout-hearted one like those mountains."
Will you do that for her?
Yes, Father.
But, how can I become a great ruler?
For that...
you must become like the wind.
That which you can't see, but it drenches every inch of this country,
and is always by our people's side, that wind.
Someone who relieves our people's fatigue,
who quenches their hunger,
and sometimes can transform into a sweltering storm sending away our foes,
that wind of a great ruler.
Hodong.
Will you become such a great ruler?
Yes, Father.
I shall become one.
