JAMYUNG (Puku)
l understand we're on the run
but this is too pathetic.
Maybe we should just kill ourselves.
lf you want to die die by yourself.
Your Highness.
PRlNCE HODONG You have no idea.
how l came this far.
Unless the crown princess tells me to die l can't die.
PRlNCESS NAKRANG (Lahee)
Your Highness we must return now.
He must be thirsty.
l'll go to the icehouse.
ENVOYCHAMBER JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG How is he?
ENVOYCHAMBER JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG l can't say.
Your Majesty
please save the officer as you would your men.
Your Majesty.
CHOl Ll
Officer.
Officer!
Please stay strong.
Stay alive and leave His Majesty alone.
You must stay by His Majesty's side.
The King of Goguryeo has admirable subjects.
Save the officer's life.
l'll do my best Your Majesty.
WANG HOL
EUL DUJl Officer of right
The officer is in a critical condition.
l do not care.
But he was once yourteacher.
l meant to kill him.
lf he's not dead then he must be alive.
Quench yourthirst.
Our men are watching.
What do you think you are doing?
Go back to your chamber.
You must not lose your dignity because of me.
This is why l can't trust you.
Why can't you trust him?
How can a man cruel enough to kill his teacher
love a woman dearly?
How can he risk his life for a woman?
Because she's not just a woman.
Because she's Lahee.
To every man there is a woman he can't resist.
And to me.
she's the Crown Princess of Nakrang unfortunately.
You don't need to explain your feelings to everyone.
Because l believe you.
l'm not thirsty.
lt's not just water.
lt's my tears and blood. l vow to save your life.
lf l can't save you.
l'll go with you.
CHOl Ll'S OFFlCE JlNYANG PALACE We must return Prince Hodong to Goguryeo.
l agree with him.
l also agree.
MO YANGHAE He has proved his sincerity by slaying Eul Duji.
How can we send him back?
RYUJl / Minister He will be very useful
when Haeaewu succeeds the throne.
MO HASO Prince Hodong is a cold and cruel man.
A prince should be strong.
Being cold and cruel is not a fault.
lf we allow him to stay
it means we consent to his marrying the crown princess.
The priestess has said it is the will of Heaven for
the crown princess to marry the great general.
WANG JA-SlL l agree with the priestess on this matter.
Since when did we take advice from the priestess?
Since when did this kingdom belong to Puku
and not to Father and me?
Crown Princess l told you not to disappoint me anymore.
Go ahead and name the great general
as your successor if you wish.
Crown princess!
l'll give up.
l'm the crown princess in name only.
l'll abandon Nakrang
just as Prince Hodong abandoned Goguryeo.
Be quiet!
Nakrang already belongs to the priestess!
Give it to Puku!
How dare you!
Please allow us to leave Nakrang.
lf you can't kill me with him when you kill Prince Hodong.
Fine!
A crown princess who abandons her country
for a man does not deserve to live!
l'll kill you right now!
-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
Please calm down.
No Your Majesty!
Leave this room now!
Go back to your chamber!
This is all because of that wench.
l can no longer forgive Puku.
LAHEE'S CHAMBER
l heard that you have a younger sister.
Would you be happy if she were alive?
Could you cherish her if Jamyung came back?
SUYOUNG HALL JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG
lLPUM The priestess is praying.
Get out of my way.
The priestess is also my slave.
Did you feel so wronged?
Crown princess.
lf you weren't a lowly circus performer
you could've had Prince Hodong.
Did you feel wronged?
You hold such a huge grudge against him that
you kill want to kill him in the name of Heaven?
And the crown princess?
She went inside the shrine armed.
l don't understand
how losing your love would drive you to murder.
You're a cunning thing.
l read your intentions when you came back as a priestess.
Please calm down.
lf you didn't want to kill Hodong did you want to kill me?
You should appease your anger.
What did l take from you?
Hodong, Nakrang and the title of crown princess
the first queen and the love of the people?
What do you mean?
Of course you must be jealous since you lost everything
even though you are the daughter of the queen
and live such a lowly life.
l understand how you would want to avenge.
You must've felt wronged for the years you've suffered
and been tormented by your jealousy toward me.
You're the one who's consumed by jealousy.
The scar is still so clear.
The rage inside you must be just as clear.
What more do you need to want Hodong and me dead?
Yes l'm Jamyung.
l didn't mean to shock you or let you know.
But Sister.
l'm not your sister. Don't call me that.
Crown Princess
could you please not hate me forthe first queen's sake?
l'm not your sister
and you can never be Jamyung nor my sister.
How long have you known?
Did you take me as a fool?
l've thought it over and over again.
All the things that happened in the palace.
You, Father and the second queen.
Even the great general and Lady Mo.
Your inexplicable behavior.
That was all because she was your daughter.
Why didn't you talk to me?
l thought it best to ignore it.
l thought l'd ignore it
since she said she'd live as if she were dead.
Lahee you're not this cruel.
You cannot be so mean to your sister.
l've already told you.
l can love Jamyung who's dead
but l can't love Jamyung who's alive.
Don't you feel sorry for her?
She can't even be become a princess.
She's a criminal of Nakrang and must remain dead.
But she has too much to be pitied.
Just what does she have?
She's a priestess in name.
She's practically the crown princess.
She controls every state affair
and even decides on my marriage.
l know you're trying to make her the real queen behind the scenes
and just make me the queen in name only.
Why are you saying such things?
l'm not a fool.
Don't control Motherfrom behind like a coward.
Pick up your sword.
Let's see how badly you want me dead.
Put down your sword. You're in the presence of queen.
Pick up your sword.
What are you doing in front of your mother?
Lahee.
Mother.
l think l'm going to hate you.
Your Majesty you're a hypocrite.
lf Prince Hodong dies l'll neverforgive you.
Crown Princess.
lt pains me just as much to watch Prince Hodong die.
Now you're being honest.
But l can't trust Prince Hodong.
l trust him.
more than l trust you
More than Mother And more than Father
l'll walk you to your chamber.
Please pray for the crown princess.
Yes, Your Majesty.
l can abandon neither of my daughters.
Not you and not the crown princess.
l'll never succeed you Your Majesty.
But you have no other choice if
the crown princess won't succeed His Majesty.
Mo Yanghae what are you saying?
Only His Majesty can decide who succeeds the throne.
But our people admire the crown princess.
Your Majesty you gave me the right to decide
the crown princess's marriage.
ls the royal command still valid?
Say what you wish to say.
l wish to have the crown princess marry Prince Hodong.
Your Majesty.
The crown princess has to stay strong for Nakrang to be strong.
Please keep your eyes on the prince and if
he does anything to arouse your suspicion
you can decide otherwise then.
Minister deliver my message to Hodong.
l, Choi Li, the King of Nakrang
grant Hodong's request for asylum.
Your Majesty you're most gracious.
His Majesty has ordered us to
BU TUNG / BUDAL watch the prince's every move.
Yes sir.
We don't trust Hodong.
HWEJUNGGWAN Hodong's chamber in Nakrang Do not miss any detail.
HWEJUNGGWAN Hodong's chamber in Nakrang Check every visitor and every letter.
He might send information to Goguryeo.
We'll keep our eyes on him like a hawk eyeing its prey.
Nakrang is a beautiful kingdom.
l'll help you become a great queen.
l won't let you live as a queen's prince.
You and l will rule over Nakrang together.
l've never been happier in my life than l am today.
Teacher is it the will of Heaven or the will of
the crown princess to let the prince live?
Or is it because of the lingering obsession in my heart?
GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO
Your Majesty.
Do you have news from Nakrang?
Did Choi Li cut off Hodong's head?
CHU BALSO / Envoy for southern district Hodong killed the guards
and struck the officer and Hadeok.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN
WU NARU / Head of National Administration He's lost his mind.
WU NARU / Head of National Administration Hodong has completely gone mad.
How can he strike Eul Duji of all people?
So?
ls Eul Duji dead or alive?
We're not certain yet of his life.
And is Hodong still alive?
Yes, King Choi Li granted Hodong's asylum
and he'll soon hold a ceremony making him a citizen of Nakrang.
That Choi Li!
SONG OKGU
SONG MAESEOLSU'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE Hodong was his future his everything.
Can he really loathe and abandon his dear son overnight?
SONG MAESEOLSU Fatheryou must know
since you have sired many sons from many mothers.
Can you abandon your son so easily?
Yes, l can.
Can you kill him?
Forthe sake of the Biryuna tribe l can.
There's something no one else know
but his wife who's lain with him.
l'm worried because
the king has abandoned Hodong too readily.
JUMONG SHRlNE GOGURYEO
To think l have only a criminal to share drinks with.
Hodong.
lf you fail to gain Nakrang even after sacrificing Eul Duji
l'll neverforgive you.
HOEJEONG HALL JlNYANG PALACE
l think l saw Puku that night.
TAECHU That can't be. Puku can't be in the palace.
Be quiet.
The walls have ears and eyes in this palace.
lt wasn't Puku. You were mistaken.

SUNGCHlM ROOM / Royal seamstress Her Majesty personally made the robe
SUNGCHlM ROOM / Royal seamstress forthe prince.
l feel sorry for him.
He fled Goguryeo with no other robe.
Thank you Mother.
l haven't changed my mind.
Hodong isn't a good match foryou.
But what can l do when you can't recognize the real gem
right before your eyes?
You lost a great man.
Her Majesty the Second Queen.
Your Majesty.
You look much better all cleaned up.
l'll be offering my first greeting to Dangun
as a citizen of Nakrang.
Thank you.
ls that the smile that stole crown princess's heart?
Her Majesty made it herself.
Wait outside.
You too.
l have a question Lady-in-waiting.
What?
You don't seem too friendly today?
CHlSO A mere solider is lowerthan a lady-in-waiting here.
l see.
l thought you were looking down on a refugee.
What do you want to ask?
ls Puku the prince's bodyguard in the palace?
l heard she was dead
but l thought l saw her when the officer
lt won't be easy foryou to settle here.
Pardon?
lt means foryou to not think.
l'll do it.
Stay still.
A prince couldn't have done anything for himself.
Thank you Mother.
Don't call me that.
l don't trust you either.
You're so kind to me even when you don't trust me.
l can't imagine how happy l'll be when you do trust me.
Make Lahee happy. Then you'll be happy.
l will.
ls Puku out of your mind?
You haven't.
l have.
l don't trust men.
Lahee is the only person l'm afraid of
and l want to trust your words.
Don't forget who saved your life.
You'd have a better life here than you could in Goguryeo
if you don't forget that.
Yes.
Since you're well enough to move about
l need you to come with me.
To where?
Prince Hodong is about to become a citizen of Nakrang.
l'll take you to the ceremony.
You look like a nobleman of Nakrang in that robe.
l'm not a nobleman but just a citizen of Nakrang My Lady.
His Majesty is coming.
Greetings Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
You came.
Through this ceremony Prince Hodong of Goguryeo
will be reborn as a citizen of Nakrang.
Your Highness please step forward.
Please wash your hands in the pure water.

How dare you!
She's the priestess of Nakrang!
Forgive me.
l pray before Dangun Wanggeom.
Goguryeo gave me birth
but l'll live the rest of my days in Nakrang.
l vow to live as the King of Nakrang's loyal subject.
Minister.
lt's the emblem of Nakrang.
lt's used only in the royal family
a gift from the first queen.
l'm most grateful Mother.
Bring the sword.
Yes, Your Majesty.
lt's the sword that accompanied me to every battlefield
while fighting for Nakrang's independence.
And now l give it to you.
Do great things for Nakrang with this sword.
What are you doing?
l heard that you and General Wang Goeng made
a pledge with blood to win Nakrang's independence.
And with your gift

Dear Dangun l pledge with my blood.
l Hodong will protect Nakrang with this sword

Leave her be.
lt's a beautiful gesture. Her act is most beautiful.

prosperity to Nakrang for all eternity.
Since you call me ''father'' l'll consideryou my son as well.
Father.
Officer.

No one shall disrespect him because
he has defected from Goguryeo.
He shall be respected as prince.
And following the harvest there will be a wedding

Hail to the king!
Hail to the crown princess!
Hail to the prince!
l guess there is a way out of everything.
You've been made the Prince of Nakrang
marry the crown princess.
But what happened to Puku?
l heard she was dead. Did our spy make a mistake?
How did she end up in the palace as a priestess?
Please wash your hands in pure water.
YULGUHYUN NAKRANG
Hol.
With time.
everything will be forgotten.
Only memories will remain
and yourfeelings will be scattered away like sand
and you'll find peace.
l too.
forgot my husband, your brother.
l tried so hard not to forget him but time made me forget.
Sister-in-law don't tell me you.
have feelings for me
Can l not?
This old woman has gone senile.
Just laugh it off as an old woman's nonsense.
A person's feelings for another can't be
nonsense that can be laughed off.
l hoped you wouldn't develop feelings for me.
l know l shouldn't have.
You should have a young and pretty maiden as your mate.
lt isn't because of age
or because you're not a great beauty.
The reason l can't love you as a woman is.
because to me
you're a motherto me.
As long as l live l'll give you the love
and respect l can give no other woman.
Did you call for me?
l heard that the envoys from Goguryeo are leaving.
Yes, they'll leave the palace tomorrow morning.
We must tell them of Jamyunggo before they leave.
Jamyunggo exist to prevent
war with Goguryeo.
Have the envoys see the puppet show.
You're returning without being fully recovered.
l'm worried you'll relapse on your journey.
Our king is waiting. l can't delay any longer.
Not because you're upset about our prince?
l'll leave as soon as day breaks.
l'll forever be indebted to you Your Majesty.
l am most grateful Your Majesty.
l'm glad you're well enough to leave.
But l shouldn't hold a banquet in your honor
since you can't drink yet.
l wish to entertain you in another way.
CHA CHASUNG'S THEATRE
General why are we holding a banquet in such a place?
The performance can't be held at the palace.
Please come in.
His Majesty is inside with the envoys.
Go ahead and give a big cry!
This is fun.
Don't you agree Minister?
l wish to make a big drum with your hide.
ls that all right?
Most definitely.
Let's see.
lt's a magnificent drum.
Wait a minute.
l should give you a name.
What shall l call you?
That's right.
Since you can alert the people of danger by
sounding yourself when Nakrang is under attack
l'll call you Jamyunggo.
Cha Chasung, Michu and a mystical object.
Are you that curious?
Your Highness.
l told you not to call me that.
The Prince Hodong l had once taught killed himself in Jolbon.
l, Eul Duji, a Goguryeo envoy paid my respects
to the Prince of Nakrang.
l too as the former prince of Goguryeo
will speak to Eul Duji my formerteacher.
Please forgive me for striking you.
Why did you call me?
lf my days in Goguryeo were like walking on thin ice
l'm walking on a bed of needles now.
Who are you to have me come at this hour?
So that you'll have the great general kill me again?
Don't you know that thousands of eyes are watching me
waiting for a chance to kill me in this palace?
l called you as the priestess.
That's right.
You're the priestess not Puku.
You gave up everything to become the priestess of Nakrang?
l gave up everything.
and ended up here.
So what would the mighty priestess whom the king reveres
want with this lowly refugee?
Did you really forget Puku?
And why would you want to know Priestess?
Did you abandon Puku.
from your heart?
ln my heart.
she's already dead.
Do you mean that?
Of course l do.
l thought you had let go of worldly emotions
but do you still have lingering feelings for me Priestess?
You can deceive the crown princess His Majesty
and all the people of Nakrang and Goguryeo
but l don't trust you.
Maybe you don't want to trust me.
You've lived all your life to become the King of Goguryeo.
How could you let that go so readily?
Even when you lay dying from poison in Simbeon
you couldn't give up your arm forthe throne.
lt's hard for people to change
but people change when they need to.
l...
tried to stop this marriage but
l couldn't.
You wouldn't know...
but it isn't Goguryeo or a woman's love that you need.
You need a mother's love.
The first queen is very loving and the second queen
will love you more than anybody if you truly become her son.
So?
Don't be set on becoming the King of Goguryeo.
Please become the father of the King of Nakrang.
As a good husband.
and a good father
Give the love you couldn't receive from King Daemushin
to the child you'll have with the crown princess.
And find comfort in that.
Since you're the priestess l should honoryou as one.
But don't tell me any nonsense.
l won't hear any more of it.
You won't find happiness by becoming king.
This foolish man will take your words to heart
and take his leave Priestess.
l was a fool to have answered your call.
What did l expect?
You were here?
How indecent.
You called yourself a priestess and act all holy
but it was all because of yourfeelings for Hodong.
l thought l had gotten rid of all my lingering feelings
but judging from the heartache l guess l haven't.
l need more discipline.
My mother once asked me how l could love someone to death
that was when l don't have anyone l hate to death.
Now l understand what she meant.
Don't make me want to kill you with my hands.
l don't want to sadden the first queen.
l trust you'll never call Hodong again.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO Hodong was made
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO the Prince of Nakrang
and he'll even marry Choi Li's daughter.
Don't speak of that wretch.
Something greater is in my mind.
ls this about that mystical object?
lt's all made up.
People are simple.
Ourtroops' morale will drop when they hearthat
Nakrang has a mystical object.
lt is enormous.
Just how big is this Jamyunggo?
A bull Dangun bestowed on Father can't be the size
of an ordinary bull.
You don't believe it.
Do you?
There have been many sacred drums in the past.
JUPARYONG / Alligator-like animal with small mouth Gl / Animal with cow-like cry A dragon drum and Huangdi's drum
JUPARYONG / Alligator-like animal with small mouth Gl / Animal with cow-like cry made from Gi's hide.
WEOLSU KlNGDOM Today's Sichuan Xichang area There was also a mystical bull in Weolsu.
They're all old fables.
You as the crown princess must believe
in the mystical object of Nakrang.
You say that but you don't seem to believe it either.
lt's not important whether l believe it or not.
lf the people of Nakrang and the soldiers of
Goguryeo believe it there is a mystical object.
Why don't we go and see for ourselves?
You cannot.
How dare you!
The Crown Princess of Nakrang wishes to see it!
His Majesty has ordered that anyone who
sets foot in the temple except the priestess and
His Majesty himself will be killed.
Jamyunggo will be under my rule the day l become queen.
Am ljust anyone?
Yes.
You're not the priestess
and you have yet succeeded the throne.
There's only one way
to find out about if mystical drum really exists.
How will you do that?
Have 600 Gwanna soldiers cross the Mukbang border.
ls it war?
Paesu won't freeze for anothertwo seasons.
The hungry Gwanna soldiers have snuck into Nakrang
without permission.
That's a great idea Your Majesty.
Mukbang, Minbong, Algi and Eunpo.
We have set up military bases in these areas and
stationed Younghojangwon's troops and priestesses.
We have resolved military problems
but l wonder if Jamyunggo will really sound itself.
lf we know where the enemy is coming from
the drum will sound itself.
Your Majesty!
What is it?
Goguryeo troops are assembling in Mukbang.
lt's war!
Part 35
SONG MAESEOLSU'S CHAMBER GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO A drum that sounds by itself
cannot exist in this day and age.
lt's only a rumorthe King of Nakrang made up to fear.
l don't believe in the drum either.
SONG MAESEOLSU So why would you go to Mukbang?
l have to encourage the Gwanna troops

To me the great general ranks higher.
Never mind. He can't go in.

Welcome Your Majesty.
You've done well.
Please come in.

CHOl Ll'S OFFlCE JlNYANG PALACE Eunpo, Algi and Minbong are mountainous regions.
We hid secret troops there.
We also buried mines that will be triggered when
enemy troops step on them.
BUDAL And we have built a dam
along the river in Mukbang.
Open the dam when the enemy enters the water.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Will the drum be able to sound in time?
lt wouldn't be a sacred drum if it didn't sound in time.
You have nothing to worry about.
l'll hearJamyunggo for myself in Mukbang.
l said no one's to enter.
lt concerns Prince Hodong.
He's talking in whispers with Taechu and his soldier
from Jolbon in his chamber.
Wang Hol did not allow my Jolbon troops inside the palace.
lt's good as long as they're within the walls
of Wanggeom Fortress.
After l marry the crown princess and the Paesu Riverfreezes
Father will lead 18000 men to Nakrang.
What shall l do then?
We'll attack Jinyang Palace and open the palace gates.
We'll obey your command Your Highness!
lt's only properfor me to pay my respects to my master.
He's the leader of my Jolbon army.
He'll do great service to Nakrang underyour leadership.
Greetings Great General! l'm Chulsang.
l don't think that's necessary.
Please accompany His Majesty and me to Mukbang.
He's inspecting the border?
lt seems the Goguryeo army will invade the area.
ls that right?
The priestess has said that Goguryeo soldiers who
invade Nakrang which is protected by Heaven
shall not return alive.
lt'll be a great way to kill time.
With His Majesty away l'll stay and guard the palace
Suit yourself.
l'm dying to see how the sacred drum will sound itself.
SUYOUNG HALL NAKRANG
Father. l wish you victory.
That's not necessary. l'm not going to war.

We could even get killed.

We must prepare your wedding robe.
The seamstresses can do that.
Everyone leave us except Donggobi.

why would you break Her Majesty's heart like this?
Donggobi please stay quiet.
You can't understand how l'm feeling.
l don't regret what l said to you the other night.

Your Majesty you're a hypocrite.
Will you ever call me ''mom'' again?
Probably not.
Yes, you do as your heart tells you

Let's take your measurements.
Your Majesty.
A mother doesn't hate her child just because her child hates her.
That's a mother's love.

Look overthere!
The priestess has said that Goguryeo soldiers who
invade Nakrang which is protected by Heaven
shall not return alive.
Prince!
Sound the drum!
Priestess.
Do you hear it?
lt feels as if my eardrums will split.
lt's Jamyunggo!
Jamyunggo Nakrang's sacred drum is beating!
lt's Jamyunggo!
Heaven is sounding Jamyunggo!
Your Majesty. Jamyunggo is ringing.
That's right.
Dangun Wanggeom is protecting Nakrang!
We're invincible!
Hooray!
Slow down.
Lady Puku.
Priestess.
The drum sounded.
Boom boom boom Jamyunggo was thunderous.
l owe it all to you. And to you too.
CHA CHASUNG They say Heaven helps those who help themselves.
Since Heaven has helped us we must do our share.
Show the people through puppet shows how
Goguryeo troops angered Heaven and received its wrath.
CHA CHASUNG'S THEATRE
You'll be the first to watch the show.
And the soldiers of every prefecture will get a
chance to see it as well.
Open your eyes and ears wide and pay attention.
See how Jamyunggo protects Nakrang.
- Go inside. -Yes sir.
l think there are men from China as well.
OurJamyunggo is a huge hit.
Even people from Mokji, Dongmohyun and Luoyang are
here to see it.
No wondertheir robes are so colorful.
Who knows?
Maybe there are Goguryeo spies among them.
Why don't you find them?
You have already seen how Jamyunggo came to Nakrang.
We'll now show you how 600 Gwanna troops of
Goguryeo were washed away in the Paesu River.
Goguryeo says that their starved soldiers snuck into Nakrang
to find food but everyone knows it's a big fat lie!
King Daemushin of Goguryeo sent Wu Naru the idiot general
to spy on Jamyunggo.
You know that much right?
That's right. We all know.
We'll now begin the story.
You have to hearthis!
Come come. You have to hearthis!
The thunderous sound of the drum
lLPUM ripped their eardrums
and rendered the Goguryeo troops senseless.
And they all drowned in the river.
You have to come and see foryourself!
Anyone who invades Nakrang will meet his death.
The sacred land of Nakrang is protected by Dangun.
There is a group invading Mukbang!
Punish them with dirt!
Punish them with waters of Paesu!
lt'll be difficult to conquer Nakrang.
Has Heaven really forsaken Goguryeo and me?
The thunder of Jamyunggo tore
They didn't die because of split eardrums.
They went crazy and threw themselves in the river.
SONG OKGU / WU NARU Those wretches.
How dare they utter such nonsense? l ought to.
Don't.
We should kill anyone who utters such nonsense.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S OFFlCE GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO We should behead anyone
who utters the word ''Jamyunggo''
and display his head on the palace wall.
EUL DUJl That'll only make the rumor worse.
CHU BALSO / Envoy for southern district He is right.
Decapitated heads of our people will hang everywhere.
We must fear ourtroops' loss of morale more than the rumors.
Even the Biryuna troops across the Majasu River
are talking about Jamyunggo.
l rushed here.
So tell me what l should do.
First you must strengthen the foundation of
the kingdom by making Prince Haeaewu crown prince.
l can see right through you.
Haeaewu will be made crown prince when the right time comes.
Come up with a real plan.
Please hear me Your Majesty.
What l meant was foryou to see Jamyunggo foryourself.
You're telling the king to risk his life after
naming his successor?
We're talking about His Majesty.
He's Daemushin the God of War!
lf you do not stop the talk of Jamyunggo soon
Choi Li's so-called mystical drum will turn
into a legend that will eventually break Goguryeo.
He's right.
l will get rid of our army's fear.
How could you see Jamyunggo?
Under what pretext will you go to Jinyang Palace?
HOEJUNGWANG JlNYANG PALACE
Did you call for me Your Highness?
l wish to see the priestess.
Give her my message.
ls that true?
Prince Hodong went to see the priestess?
Yes, l saw him go into Suyoung Hall with my own eyes.
SUYOUNG HALL, NAKRANG
Since you won't blow the horn l had to come.
We're in the shrine.
You shouldn't.
Did you throw away my mother's memento?
Yes.
lf you came to harass me please leave.
l want to see Jamyunggo.
You have no right to see the mystical drum Your Highness.
l think l do.
l have a very special relationship with you Priestess.
Please allow me for old time's sake.
Why do you want to see it so badly?
Because l'm angry.
Leave us.
l want to speak privately with the priestess.
You left me forJamyunggo.
l want to see for myself how magnificent the drum is
that you left me for it.
Don't be childish.
Let me ask you something.
Answer me truthfully. Since you're a priestess.
Please ask.
Puku saw an image when she was training the energy flow.
Was it Jamyunggo that she saw?
l saw Prince Hodong leading the Goguryeo army
and Puku protecting Nakrang
both pointing their swords at each other.
Goguryeo will...
not win Nakrang.
l also want Nakrang to win.
Did you forget? l'm the Prince of Nakrang.
lt's time for my prayer.
You left me because of a dream? A prophecy?
l asked you to leave.
l don't know it was Jamyunggo or its masterthat l wanted to see.
l can't figure it out even as l'm standing here
but you seem very serene Priestess.
A person's feelings rage even more the more serene they are.
Puku.
The priestesses will be here soon.
Please leave.
Prince you have no idea.
l can only remain serene when l don't see you.
When you said you loved me.
Was that a lie?
You didn't come to see me but to see Puku?
Why do you hearthings to torment yourself?
Answer me.
l didn't leave Puku. Puku left me.
Do you...
still love her?
lt's not about love.
A man can't forgive the woman who left him.
And because l can't forgive her
she remains in my heart as a shadow.
Do you still not believe me?
We need a lot of things as we become adults.
Yes, we do. So many things.
And of them l needed love the most.
When you love someone your expectations grow.
And when the expectations are not met
you're filled with hatred and bitterness.
And when those feelings get out of hand
it no longer matters whetherthe other person loves you or not.
Then what is most important?
Someone l love.
That l love you.
That alone becomes important.
Puku.
Let Puku.
Let her out of your heart.
Call it forgiveness or whatever.
Please release herfrom your heart for my sake.
l love you.
How can you love someone to death
if you don't have anyone you hate to death?
Prince what's the matter?
l can't breathe.
You haven't been able to sleep at all because of Jamyunggo.
Taechu.
Find out who Puku is...
Find out who Puku's parents are.
l cannot stand this not knowing.
lt only takes a moment to render a person cowardly.
No matter how you deny it l'm your sister.
l know.
Don't ever make me lose my head again.
Once forthe sake of the first queen once to seek
forgiveness for what my mother has done to you
And even though l'd rather die than admit it
once forthe fact that you're my sister
who shares my father's blood.
l'll forgive you three times.
At the pond and today You used up yourtwo chances.
Priestess please be prudent.
No matter what you say
you and l were born to live forthe sake of Nakrang.
Yes, l heard your drum sound.
But l don't believe in your cunning trickery.
GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO
Send a letterto Choi Li.
What shall l write?
Tell him to invite me to Hodong's wedding.
Your Majesty.
But you just sent a letter asking for Hodong's head.
He wouldn't invite you to the wedding.
l'll tell him that although l abandoned him
l wish to see him one last time before l die.
Who knew that Hodong would prove to be so useful
in Jinyang Palace?
lf Choi Li
refuses to invite you to the wedding
how will you cross the border?
Write this at the end of the letter.
ls the King of Nakrang confident enough to
go to all-out war with Goguryeo?
lf you have such faith in Jamyunggo
you may refuse my visit to Jinyang Palace.
EUNPO GATE NAKRANG
lt's a letterfrom the King of Goguryeo to the King of Nakrang.
l've been seeing you often lately.
With Prince Hodong and
the massacre of Gwanna troops at the border.
You must be very upset.
l Daemushin ask you.
ls the King of Nakrang confident enough to
go to all-out war with Goguryeo?
lf you have such faith in Jamyunggo
you may refuse my visit to Jinyang Palace.
How can he be so arrogant?
We have Jamyunggo!
MO YANGHAE The letter is most impudent in nature.
He regards our king as a tribal leader.
WANG JA-SlL Your Majesty we must not overlook such impudence.
We'll have to go to war with Goguryeo sooner or later.
As long as Muhyul is alive
Nakrang must avoid war with Goguryeo.
Your Majesty our troops' morale has soared
because of Jamyunggo.
And we have Prince Hodong and Jolbon troops
who know of Goguryeo army.
The Goguryeo army is strong.
And if Muhyul leads them himself
they'll grow much stronger.
RYU Jl That may not be entirely true.
The Goguryeo army is afraid of our army.
Don't be silly.
Do you think l'm too afraid to face Muhyul?
SUYOUNGGWAN NAKRANG Why are we so afraid of Goguryeo?
l know. l can't understand that either.
We have Jamyunggo.
Jamyunggo prevents wars.
lt can't lead us to victory.
Nakrang has more people
and a greaterfood supply than Goguryeo.
But it's quality over quantity.
Maybe 300000 people of Nakrang are inferior
in quality to 180000 people of Goguryeo.
What l mean is that when l carefully observe the people
of Goguryeo and Nakrang who come to our shows
l get that feeling.
What do you mean?
Listen.
Most of our audience in Nakrang are little children
who come with their mothers.
They're just little ones who barely started walking.
MlCHU You're right!
But there were lots of men audience in Goguryeo.
You're right.
Nakrang lost 20000 soldiers and 50000 commoners
in war with Liu Xian.
His Majesty has encouraged
childbirth to replenish the population
but they're still little children.
lt'll take at least anotherfive to seven years
before the children grow old enough to protect Nakrang.
The maximum number of troops we can summon right now
barely reaches 10000.
But Goguryeo has an army of 18000 almost twice that of ours.
Goguryeo has a strong army that's well trained
through many wars.
lt's superior in number and experience.
Even with the sacred drum protecting Nakrang
we can't risk our kingdom and its people.
Your Majesty it's not a bad idea forthe Goguryeo king
to attend the wedding.
Why do you say that?
lf Hodong and his father can reconcile at the wedding
the two kingdoms will become in-laws.
lt will be an opportunity forthe two kingdoms to unite.
Summon Hodong and the crown princess.
l'll meet them with the first queen.
ls it true the King of Goguryeo will be coming
to Jinyang Palace forthe wedding?
l don't know. lf he comes he comes.
Why you can't wait to see your old master?
l serve the prince and His Majesty the King of Nakrang.
Why won't you allow the 500 soldiers of Jolbon in the palace
and hold them at Minbong and Algi?
l don't know that either.
l'm sure the great general has plans.
You don't need to answer their silly questions.
Let's go. His Majesty is waiting.
You seem troubled.
l grow more anxious.
The victory in Mukbang couldn't ease your anxiety?
We knew where
the Goguryeo troops were coming from this time
but we can't know for sure the next time.
A sacred drum must know where the enemy comes from.
Thank you.
Thank you Crown Princess.
So what do you think Prince?
lt will be uncomfortable but he is yourfather.
You'll regret it if you never see him again.
l'll do as you wishes Mother.
l think it is best to make peace with Goguryeo
and bide ourtime.
l agree with him.
lt's too early to go to war with Goguryeo.
And l must do my duty as his daughter-in-law.
You're not angry anymore?
l buried everything.
l didn't hear anything that night.
You're a wise woman.
l'm a fool.
l only see what l want to see.
They look good together.
She should've become the general's second wife.
Build wooden fences six miles outside the four border gates.
Fences?
Yes, it shouldn't be a big problem since
it's a neutral area that belongs to neither Goguryeo nor Nakrang.
We will earn time while they're busy crossing the fences.
That's a great idea.
GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO WlNTER
Brother l'll go with you to Jinyang Palace.
Princess.
lt's already been three years since l last saw Hodong.
l want to see his wedding from a distance at least.
Come to your senses.
You think His Majesty is going there to attend the wedding?
He's going there to get rid of Jamyunggo.
The queen is right.
Don't burden me with your stubbornness.
Hadeok take this to Princess Nakrang.
Yes, Your Highness.
What's that?
YEORANG Jewelry.
lt's my wedding gift to the princess.
How generous of you.
You should be so generous with Haeaewu.
Your Majesty we are ready foryour departure.
Let's go.
HAEAEWU Father have a safe trip.
All right.
Haeaewu.
Were you a good boy?
- Say ''yes.'' -Yes.
CHOl Ll'S OFFlCE JlNYANG PALACE NAKRANG Your Majesty
the King of Goguryeo's procession has passed Suhak.
l'll go to Mukbang with Hodong to greet him.
MUKBANG 25 MlLES FROM JlNYANG PALACE
Welcome to Nakrang.
Thank you for your invitation.
Father.
l never a son like you.
Bring warm wine.
Yes, Your Majesty.
l don't wish to have wine with you.
Your Majesty.
Do not hold his wedding or a banquet in my honor
at Jinyang Palace.
l'll not attend.
May l ask what you mean Your Majesty?
King of Nakrang you and l are both men who spent our days
on horseback with swords in our hands.
l'll be honest.
l didn't come to attend the wedding
but to see Jamyunggo.
lt's not something you can see at will.
Then l should force you to show it to me.
How will you do that?
Eunpo, Mukbang, Algi and Minbong.
You have built fences outside the border gates.
Goguryeo troops are standing in front of those fences.
You must've gotten wind of stray troops sneaking into
Mukbang the last time but this time
l don't know when and where ourtroops will come from.
What do you mean?
Unless Jamyunggo sounds by itself
Nakrang will pay dearly for
deceiving Goguryeo and myself.
JEONGWANG GATE NAKRANG
Goguryeo's king wants to see Jamyunggo for himself
to confirm its mystical powers.
l have no way to stop him.
30 of Goguryeo's troops will cross our northern border.
lf Jamyunggo doesn't sound by itself then
Goguryeo will attack.
We still don't have enough military strength
to fight Goguryeo.
So what else can we do?
We don't know
when the Goguryeo army will cross the border.
Will you be able to sound the drum?
Jamyung.
l trust you with the fate of this kingdom and yourfather.
No one but myself and the Priestess can go inside.
Not even our highest officials.
l'll go in alone.
Father l the crown princess haven't seen Jamyunggo yet.
lf you'll allow me Father l wish to pay my respects
to the mystical drum with you.
ls this Jamyunggo?
That's right King of Goguryeo.
But the size doesn't attest to its power.
l'll see for myself the mystical power of Jamyunggo.
Consider it the price you pay for
seeing Jamyunggo with your own eyes
even if all the Goguryeo soldiers who cross our border die.
Dear Dangun Wanggeom please watch over Nakrang.
The people of Nakrang are your descendants.
Please watch over us
so that our people will be spared from war.
The future of Nakrang rests on this hour.
Please spare us from being trampled by the Goguryeo army.

MO YANGHAE He wouldn't attend the banquet orthe wedding
and now he won't even eat.
MO HASO You shouldn't concern yourself
MO HASO of such a rude guest.
Let's celebrate our victory.
Let us.
LAHEE (Princess of Nakrang) May l toast to the priestess?
JAMYUNG (Puku)
The priestess whose duty is to save lives
has stained her hands to save Nakrang.
l can't thank her enough.
Thank you.
Crown Princess.
Please continue to protect Nakrang in the future.
Good work Priestess.
lt is His Majesty and the crown princess
who protect Nakrang not l.
WANG HOL You're right
but we couldn't savorthe victory today without your help.
l'm also very grateful.
What is it?
The King of Goguryeo wishes to see Prince Hodong.
He says he'll return to Goguryeo right after
WANG JA-SlL meeting with the prince.
Let them meet.
Shouldn't we have someone spy on them?
RYU Jl This is an opportunity to confirm the prince's loyalty.
CHOl Ll He's meeting his son.
We shouldn't eavesdrop on a king's conversation with his son.
lf you can't trust Prince Hodong l'll ask him myself.
Your Majesty Prince Hodong of Nakrang is here.
PRlNCE HODONG
Please come in. His Majesty is waiting.
Thank you.
He orders that they be left alone.
l finally offer my greetings to you.
ls life good at Nakrang?
lt's a fertile land.
None of their people goes hungry even during winter months.
So is Choi Li good to you?
l'm sure his two wives are good to you as well.
You're their only son-in-law.
They can't be like your stepmother in Guknae Palace.
Ratherthan being the king of barren Goguryeo
where hundreds of people die during the winter months
maybe you're better off being Choi Li's son.
l didn't come to Nakrang to become his son.
Yes, King Choi Li is a virtuous king
and the two queens are kind to me.
My own mother couldn't have been kinder.
lt tortures me to think l'll have to invade Jinyang Palace
and bring death to them with my own hands.
Do you take me so heartless?
Then why don't you stay in Nakrang?
Why must you return to Goguryeo?
Do you really not know why l'm at Nakrang
by overcoming many
life-threatening incidents and by striking Eul Duji?
Do you want to become the King of Goguryeo that badly?
Just as you adore Haeaewu you had adored me.
l found my strength to survive until now in that love.
l want to be adored by you once again.
Once again l want you to acknowledge me.
Once again l want to bring a smile to yourface.
HANSU / Han river DONGRYOSU / River that flows into Hyundogun and Buyeo Why can't you see
HANSU / Han river DONGRYOSU / River that flows into Hyundogun and Buyeo
my love foryou and
my desire to succeed you?
You can't go in Your Highness.
l have to pay my respects to him as his daughter-in-law
since he won't stay forthe wedding.
You're most right but please understand that
they have things to say in private.
Please return.
This is Jinyang Palace.
l'm certain you wouldn't stop me.
You're far but Haeaewu is near.
You have no power but the Biryuna tribe is powerful.
Hodong.
l'll give you one more chance.
You must conquer Nakrang with your own hands and
bring it to me.
l will.
Jamyunggo will be your stumbling block.
But l'm sure there will be a way.
Heaven gave Choi Li a bull not a drum.
Be it a mystical bull or not there must be men who
used its hide to make the drum.
Find them.
Just how did they make the drum sound by itself?
Find that out.
Father.
Who's there?
Why would a crown princess resort to spying?
l heard you'd be returning soon so l came to bid you farewell.
l did not hear anything Your Majesty.
lt's most regrettable that you can't stay forthe wedding.
Hadeok present the gift from the princess.
WANWOLHUN Yeorang Hodong's aunt's chamber Yes Your Majesty.
The Princess of Goguryeo sends a wedding gift to
the crown princess.
Please thank herfor me.
l wish you a safe trip home.
Thank you.
l'm sorry we didn't even have a chance to share a drink.
l'll escort you to Jungwang Gate and General Bu
and his troops will escort you to the Paesu River.
The bronze sword the bronze mirror and the bronze bell
the three mystical objects Hwangwoong received from
Heavenly King Hwanin where do you think they are now?
Mystical objects exist to disappear.
Let us go.
Have a safe trip home.
Your Majesty have a safe journey.
Jamyunggo was a pleasant sight.
Let's go.
WANG JASlL'S CHAMBER JlNYANG PALACE
What did Hodong and Muhyul discuss?
Nothing much.
ls that true?
Yes.
He chided him for seeking asylum in Nakrang.
From what l heard of Muhyul he'd have killed Hodong.
Despite his quick temper
he's not foolish enough to kill a man in our palace.
HOEJUNG HALL JlNYANG PALACE
l'm so curious to know how Jamyunggo sounds by itself that
l want to tear it to look inside.
Maybe it's because l don't like the priestess
but ljust can't bring myself to like the drum.
But l can't destroy Jamyunggo whether it's made by
men or Heaven because it protects Nakrang.
You said you didn't hear anything but you heard everything.
l didn't hearthe important part.
When Fathertold you to find the secret behind Jamyunggo
l didn't hearyour answer.
Jamyunggo's existence is a great threat to Goguryeo.
Even though he has forsaken me
it's natural for Fatherto give me such a command.
l want your answer not how he felt.
Even if you hadn't come at that moment
l couldn't have given him an answer.
l'm the Prince of Nakrang not the Prince of Goguryeo.
Don't forget that.
SUYOUNG HALL JlNYANG PALACE
Priestess.
Did the King of Goguryeo leave?
Yes.
He didn't seem to be able to believe in Jamyunggo
even after seeing it.
He just doesn't want to believe.
Proud and stubborn men are more fearful inside
even though they don't show it.
They have more to lose.
l should've ordered ourtroops to kill Wu Naru as well.
l'm afraid he'll come back to haunt us later.
The great general the pride of Goguryeo
was humiliated and ran away alone.
lt'll serve to establish Jamyunggo's power.
NAKRANG MARKETPLACE You have all heard about the best show in town
Jamyunggo presented by Happy Joy Troupe haven't you?
We saw it already.
- There's a new story. - Sure it has.
What else is there besides the mystical bull?
You have no idea.
Have you heard the story of Wu Naru
the foolish and brainless great general of Goguryeo
who ran scared senseless by Jamyunggo at Eunpo?
Really?
And when we entered the forest the sky became dark
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S OFFlCE GUKNAE PALACE thunder roared and
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S OFFlCE GUKNAE PALACE lightning struck out of nowhere.
WU NARU As ourtroops were being killed by traps
men wrapped in white cloth appeared.
CHU BALSO What were they?
l couldn't tell if they were ghosts or humans.
That's nonsense!
How could you not even tell if they were ghosts or humans?
ljust couldn't tell!
SONG OKGU And to think we have such an idiot
for a great general.
Your Majesty please allow me to kill myself.
General!
l have already become the laughing stock of Goguryeo.
You'll have other chances to kill yourself in the future.
But for now we have to figure out what to do with Jamyunggo.
Concentrate on that.
Your Majesty!
JUMONG TEMPLE GOGURYEO Hadeok.
Could it be a delusion.
what l'd witnessed?
Could Jamyunggo be just a delusion?
You're a sagacious man Your Majesty.
You couldn't have seen an illusion.
lt has to be a delusion!
Let's say it was a delusion!
But the sound that thundered in my ears.
Just what was that?
Bring Song Okgu.
SONG MAESEOLSU'S CHAMBER
All right. You go ahead.
Chief His Majesty is waiting.
But he's waiting in King Dongmyeongsung's shrine.
l will cleanse myself before l go.
l'll inform His Majesty.
SONG MAESEOLSU Father what do you think he wants?
Muhyul...
Take Haeaewu.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Prince please come with me.
HAEAEWU Grandfather l'll go practice my sword.
Prince.
You must become the best swordsman in Goguryeo and
make your grandfather happy.
Yes.
Let's go.
He has never called anyone else to the shrine except
Eul Duji and Hadeok.
His Majesty is scared of Jamyunggo.
A mere drum can't scare him.
lt's not just a drum.
lt's a mystical drum a threat to Goguryeo.
You believe in that sort of thing?
The king and the great general witnessed it.
l have to believe it too.
Even if it's made by Choi Li and not by Heaven.
Now...
The time has come for me to settle things for good
with Muhyul for my grandson's sake.
l, Song Okgu, the chief of the Biryuna tribe have
come at your beckoning Your Majesty.
The chief of the Biryuna tribe.
Father-in-law do you know why l asked you here?
You wish to make a deal with me.
You're a smart man.
l'm listening Your Majesty.
l want the army of the Biryuna tribe.
Will you invade Nakrang?
A mystical object feeds on fear.
Before the rumor of Jamyunggo spreads throughout Goguryeo
before it eats away at our army's morale
l must conquer Nakrang.
Why did you not kill Hodong in Jinyang Palace?
Look Father-in-law.
Dojeol, Haemyung.
l haven't forgotten what happened to my brothers.
Killing Hodong won't do Haeaewu any good.
Did you forsake Hodong completely from your heart?
How dare you test his king?
Will you give me your army or not?
Prince Haeaewu controls the 7000 troops of the Biryuna tribe.
Promise me you'll make him crown prince
and l'll give you my army.
Why do you continue to doubt me?
Why can't you see my love foryou and my desire to succeed you?
SPRlNG THE FOLLOWlNG YEAR
Your Majesty we are almost ready.
You look like the bride.
YULGUHYUN NAKRANG Stop that!
YULGUHYUN NAKRANG l've already married two brothers.
Should l marry for the third time?
Spring is the best time for wedding.
Beginning of new life lt's a good time.
Although the crown princess must've had a hard time waiting.
The priestess has warned us to be wary of an
invasion by Goguryeo afterthe hostile manner
in which the King of Goguryeo returned.
We had no other choice but to delay the wedding.
What's there to worry about when we have Jamyunggo?
We have nothing to fear now.
Nice.
lt's the day you've been waiting for
but you don't look too happy Your Highness.
TAECHU
Maybe it'll be easierfor you to approach Jamyunggo
once you're married.
ls it because of the priestess?
ls there no way to find out who Puku's parents are?
lt's as if a big boulder is blocking our way.
They must be keeping the secret under a very tight lid.
You look beautiful Crown Princess.
As if an angel came down to earth
she looks like you Your Highness.
Yes, you look very beautiful.
Almost too good for Prince Hodong.
But where is the first queen today?
Queen is nowhere
to be seen on the crown princess's wedding day.
She must be in Suyoung Hall.
She must've gone to pray.
She didn't go there to pray.
She went to console the priestess.
Leave us.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Do you know why the first queen would console the priestess?
l'm your daughter. l'm not stupid.
Just what do you know?
l know why you tried so desperately to kill the priestess
and why the priestess is so precious to the first queen.
Lahee.
l've known all along that Puku is Jamyung.
Does Mo Haso know that you know?
Yes.
SUYOUNG HALL JlNYANG PALACE
Your Majesty.
You must be busy with wedding preparations.
What brings you here?
lt is most important that l come here.
l did not come here today to see the priestess
but as my daughterJamyung.
Not as the first queen but as a mother who
couldn't even make a wedding robe for her daughter.
Mother.
You must be very sad.
l'm all right.
A priestess has a feeling as a woman.
You cannot be all right.
l'm all right.
l can imagine how my daughterJamyung would feel
not the priestess.
l'm trying to be all right.
l have to be all right Mother.
lf loving someone is like building a mountain in your heart
you are demolishing that mountain in your heart today.
Don't be sad.
lf you cry like this it'll break my heart even more.
l'm sorry l couldn't let you be with the man you love.
Just one day...
Just one day out of life.
l'll cry as Jamyung not the priestess of Nakrang.
Just fortoday.
l'll cry as Jamyung in your presence.
Jamyung...
Mom.
Thank you for your blessing.
Thank you.
Bring the crowns.
You have to be happy.
Thank you Your Majesty.
Hodong you have finally become my son and a son-in-law.
You're most gracious Father.
Dear Dangun with Heaven's blessing
the Crown Princess of Nakrang and Prince Hodong have wed
and have become husband and wife.
Hail to the crown princess!
Hail to the prince!
Hail to the crown princess!
Hail to the prince!
Hail to the crown princess!
Hail to the prince!
lsn't Nakrang beautiful?
Athought just came to my mind.
Maybe l don't have to become king.
Maybe it'd be nice to live with you like this.
lt'd be nice to live as a good man a good husband to you.
SONG MAESEOLSU'S CHAMBER
There was a wedding at Nakrang.
Hodong has finally gained Nakrang as his in-laws.
A lowly refugee has become the Prince of Nakrang.
His Majesty hasn't promised to make Haeaewu crown prince.
He's taking longerthan l expected to give an answer.
The rumor of Jamyunggo is spreading daily.
lf...
lf the king still hasn't given up on Hodong
that would explain everything.
l'm worried for Haeaewu.
Then it's one orthe other.
Who'll give him Nakrang first?
ls it Hodong or the Biryuna tribe?
Father.
Nakrang is a powerful kingdom
and now they even have Jamyunggo.
Hodong can't possibly do anything by himself.
Shouldn't we send a congratulation message?
Not only because of Prince Hodong but because
it's the royal wedding of our neighboring kingdom.
You should send a letter.
Send a letter.
Hodong...
Hadeok are you there?
Did you call for me Your Majesty?
Get Boruk. l have to send a letterto Hodong.
What is the meaning of your letterto Prince Hodong?
Just as you saw.
Destroy Jamyunggo.
l am too flurried and befuddled.
l feel as if the room is spinning.
Your Majesty you don't.
You don't...
You guessed correctly.
Hodong went to Jinyang Palace to bring fall on Nakrang.
Your Majesty.
Have a pleasant dream.
lt'd be wonderful if you have a dream about
giving a grandson to His Majesty.
Mother.
You're so impatient.
You can't expect a grandchild on the wedding day.
We need a strong heir to have a strong royal family.
And we need a strong royal family for a strong kingdom.
All the men in the palace aren't happy with
the prince fortaking the princess away from them.
l don't know if he can make it back
to the wedding chambertonight.
Yes.
Crown Princess as you chose your spouse
you have to be happy.
Thank you.
lt's the wedding night.
Go and enjoy yourself.
You're most gracious Your Majesty.
You too Chiso.
Thank you Your Majesty.
Donggobi.
Donggobi!
Will you have a drink with me?
Why?
So you can poison wine this time?
CHlCO Such is the life of underlings.
We have no will or feelings of our own.
We live and die at our masters' will.
l'm letting it go because l understand your situation.
But that doesn't mean l forgive you and
am willing to have a drink with you.
So don't be so shameless.
You don't know anything.
Shall l have died to save your life?
That idiot.
She was cursed with a long life just like Princess Jamyung.
Lahee says she knows about Jamyung.
lt's only natural the sisters know about each other.
Jamyung would've been better off if she hadn't known.
You raised her but Lahee is my daughter.
She takes after me so she has to have what she wants.
And she can't stand losing what she has.
Make sure Jamyung doesn't go near Hodong.
When she decided to live for Nakrang and became a priestess
she released Hodong from her heart.
With time l believe that Lahee will come to understand Jamyung.
lt wouldn't be human to have a one-track mind.
lLPUM
You smell of alcohol.
Then l'll sleep in another room.
Be easy on your husband.
Why did you fall in love with Puku?
That's not a suitable subject fortonight.
We'll become husband and wife tonight.
l want to talk about it now and put it behind us.
l liked her strength.
You're someone who doesn't know pain
and l'm a man who lives with pain.
And Puku.
And it seemed like Puku was someone who overcame pain.
l think that's why l liked her.
l hope you'll know that the person in your present
is more important than the person in your past.
Just remember who is with you now.
Who will stay with you until the last day of your life.
Because l'm the one who'll stay with you until the end.
So you will only look at me.
Do you believe.
l'll make you happy?
l've already told you.
l'm more than happy already.
The others must still be celebrating.
The whole kingdom is celebrating tonight.
But why do you look so lonely?
That's not true.
l'm also sad.
Or maybe Prince Hodong might be feeling lonely too.
You smell of liquor.
Yes.
l do. But l'm not drunk.
Or maybe l am.
Or maybe l want to act drunk.
l'll bring you some honey tea.
Have some tea before you leave.
Miss Gilsang.
To me you can be neitherthe priestess nor Princess Jamyung.
You can't even be Hodong's Puku.
To me you're Miss Gilsang.
What are you doing in the shrine?
What is a shrine?
lt's a place where one is consoled and loved.
Whetheryou're Princess Jamyung the priestess
or someone who's dead to the world.
lt doesn't matter.
From Taesangwan to Mount Harap.
and to this very place
l have seen all your pain and suffering.
Please let it go now.
Jamyunggo was completed.
We won't be defeated by Goguryeo.
Resign from your duties as the priestess and come to me.
Please marry me.
Please let Hodong go and be happy with me.
My heart aches for yourfeelings.
l have also longed for someone
so l understand how you feel.
But...
l'm most sorry l am the object of yourfeelings.
General.
l can barely keep my feelings hidden.
Jamyung the priestess is barely holding back
Puku's desire to run to the prince.
So please try to understand.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S OFFlCE GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO ln Jolbon and in Guknae Palace
KlNG DAEMUSHlN'S OFFlCE GUKNAE PALACE GOGURYEO and now in Nakrang.
Why do you throw the prince into the jaws of death?
ln orderfor him to protect himself from Song Okgu
and not be pushed out by Haeaewu
Hodong must overcome much worse things.
lf someone finds Boruk before he finds the prince
the prince's life will be in danger.
l know that.
But this is the only way.
How else am l going to deliver my command to
Hodong if not through Boruk?
He must destroy Jamyunggo tonight when the whole kingdom
is bustling with the wedding celebration.
Do you know of another way to reach Hodong tonight?
This is another burden he must shoulder.
A hawk is circling the palace?
l think it's Boruk.
Do you know Boruk?
l saw Taechu summon it once in Simbeon.
Can you read?
A little.
l learned a little from my teacher in Harap.
l was waiting for Puku.
to call me again.
Because my father is the King of Nakrang.
This is a bunch of bull!
You must deceive your own first
before you can deceive the enemy.
l'll take the 7000 soldiers of the Biryuna tribe back!
Stop Song Okgu.
A warrior who leaves the battlefield is guilty of treason.
Did the king you and Hodong all deceive me?
l have a message from the king.
Will you live as Haeaewu's mother or
the daughter of the Biryuna tribe?''
Can't you live as the Queen of Goguryeo for me?
l'll tear Jamyunggo for you.
