Episode 8
For the Forge to recover it's original capability so fast
it's all thanks to you, Prince Heo.
No such talk is necessary in our relationship.
Even the DongRo Nation has given over their stored iron ore,
they have no reason to refuse this opportunity to receive GooYa's swrods.
To even have scoped the destinations for the swords,
Prince Heo's strategy has no equal,
I really thank you.
When I saw your daughter sometime ago, she was just a cute little girl,
but now she has become a comely young lady.
She has grown up to be so beautiful.
She grew up without a mother,
but to have done so without trouble, I am only thankful.
Heo JangSang
What the heck do I have to do
to bring that JeongGeyonBi woman to her knees?
If CheonGoon were to get iron ore supplied to him,
everything will become nothing but water foam?!
That cannot be allowed.
We killed JoBang and yet we couldn't take over the Forge.
That aggravation hasn't dissipated even now,
we cannot not retreat even one step.
We have to stab CheonGoon's side!,
so he cannot make one movement.
Do you mean the work?
Whatever means we use, we must end it!
But,
That man Heo JanSang,
is he so capable?
Please say no more.
Including Southeast Asia,
and as well as Rome, there is no place that his hands haven't reached.
Being a mere merchant,
how can he have such a huge reach?
He is an aristocrat of India.
Aristocrat...!
Yes.
No one knows the story but he left his country, leading a caravan
and because he is thoughtful and generous,
many would like to keep him close.
JeongGyeonBi is meaning to make him one of hers, isn't she...?
Yes, that is correct.
He may be called a merchant, but he carries a considerable weight in international relationship.
Through Heo JangSang, she wants to actualize her dream...!
Now, please attend to diversifying outward to foreign countries.
Currently you are only trading with the countries like Han, NakRang, DaeBang, only those close to you.
My homeland India, Tibet, Persia, and even farther,
Rome, why don't you think about them?
It's so you, Prince Heo!
I will help you.
With GooYa Nation's iron,
the educational items that cannot be found in the Far east will pour out.
Will you help me?
I have no reason not to.
Lady CheonGoon, one who is fluent in foreign language,
is what you need, the one who can be your translator.
The rest I will take care of.
Do you have any thoughts of working for me?
Last I saw you I thought you were quick and capable.
I met you through the matters concerning master CheonGoon.
I feel our relationship is not just an ordinary one.
What are your thoughts?
Lady CheonGoon's interest regarding me
is really appreciated,
but I have to help out my aunt's work
and moreover, how much of help I can be for you, lady CheonGoon,
I don't have any confidence.
Mother asked you specially
so think it through.
She doesn't easily take anyone in.
If it's this one, she will do well.
Then, please give me time to
think about it.
Let's do that, then.
What happened?
Lady CheonGoon asked me to work under her.
By any chance, you didn't just say "yes?"
Aunt, I am AhHyo.
The princess of SaaRo Nation.
Alright, I know.
I said I will think about it for a few days.
Yes,
it's well done.
You almost got killed and gained the confidence of Lady CheonGoon, I am so proud of you.

This is
such a big debt to you.
Are you alright?
I am alright.
Where do you live and who are you?
Then, please careful.
Medallion!
You couldn't find it...
Maybe it's for the best.
Young master, ever since you acquired that medallion, you had changed,
did you know that?
It wasn't master JoBang's intention for you to drift like this,
that wasn't why he told you about the medallion.
Even then I wanted to know.
The person who gave birth to me,
where I came from.
I don't think that's something you can find out just because you want to know.
As a person lives his life,
even if there's something he really wants to know, he cannot know,
and however much he doesn't want to know, he will come to know anyhow.
So what do you want me to do?
Don't lose your strength over what you cannot know, that's what.
That's how I am living, too.
Don't drift around like that and go your way, Young master.
What is my way?
The way Master JoBang wanted to go,
you know, don't you?
The Heavens is not quiet.
The Polaris is unable to shine straight
so I am worried.
Are you worried about SooRo?
I am only talking of the condition of Heavens.
When the time pass, he will come to his senses.
How much longer can he behave as a street thug?
Within the country, from everywhere
the song of GooJiGa is not halting.
Hasn't the time finally come?
I myself feel suffocated.
For how long we have to wait,
if it indeed is SooRo
who can make GooYa Nation to stand up...?
I am a human being, before being CheonGoon, how can I not worry about that?
Why do you just pass by?
Strange...
Am I seeing the wrong person?
Aren't you the most well known GooYa Nation's thug?
Really too well behaved...!
Ah!...Mine!
Give it here!
Here!
Of course, this is what you're like!
I was thinking why you were behaving well.
AhHyo!
What are you doing?
SooRo, you,... What are YOU doing?
Why concern yourself?
Let's go in.
My sword!
This is from CheonChook, it's very precious.
But... Why this...?
It sparkles like the stars...
Don't you think it's like you?
It's overly valuable for me.
Later on when there's someone special
please give it to her.
All this time I have lived,
there was never a special person to me like you.
Also,
It doesn't seem like there will be.
Well,...
Who are you?
If you have something to repair, leave it with us.
Ah,
It's not that...
Hey, pretty girl,
what are you doing here?
Give me the sword!
Sword?
Sword.
...Sword.
Here!
What's this?
When I hammered it, it just broke!
Maybe throw it out?
What are you doing this for?
it's rude.
You said to give you the sword?
I just returned it to you.
That sword didn't suit with you, AhHyo, so
I made a new one.
Here!
There is only one sword in the world.
Keep it well.
Even with that, you still don't say, "thanks?"
What...?
Saved you life,
and even made you a sword as pretty like this,
you're just going to act like it's nothing?
Did I ask you to save my life,
or make a sword?
Then,
Your life and that sword are mine.
I am just lending them to you,
later, don't say something else, alright?
KimHae Harbor, GooYa Nation.
What?
Major personality of SaaRo?SaaRo : Shilla
SaaRo Nation's NamHae ChaChaWoong is so anxious
to smuggle out GooYa's iron making technique,
he is making frantic attempts.
Therefore...
Someone of importance was sent as a spy...?
Please don't worry.
Who that is, we are investigation it.
You have to be carerful it's not so obvious to the eyes.
If he is that major a figure,
he is probably keeping taps on us, too.
Alright,
what about CheonMyeongGwan?
CheonGoon and the Priestess are not making any move,
lately, HaeRye is a little strange.
Are you talking about the priestess who gets easily frightened?
Yes.
HaeRye

Captain!
What are you thinking about?
Rascal,
can't you tell just by looking?
He must be thinking about the girl.
"The girl?"
Who?
Ah,
That Indian Princess?
Bring that tree sap to the Forge.
YiJinAhShi is looking for it with his eyes lit like fire.
Is that why you took it away from GoongSoo?
That's not right...!
Hey, captain,
even if we return it
let's just take a little and see it.
ShinGuiGan said he'd pay a lot of money!
Oh, I get it, I get it.
I will return it tomorrow.
If it was going to be like this,
I got beat up for no reason.
One who got pulped trying to protect it is the fool,
hey,don't you know captain's temper?
That is...
That is what's puzzling.
At times he is a bona fide thug, alright,
some other times he is not like one at all.
Why do you have so much to say?
Nothing, it's nothing...!
Just... rest...!
Do you have something to worry about?
No.
Don't worry too much, I am sure there is a way.
The Heavens would have to even out our wretched relationship.
That is not it...
The truth is...
Long time ago, there was a Prophecy.
A Prophecy?
Then...
a king for GooYa Nation is already decided?
But...
That person is...
What are you doing?
I can smell it...!
The smell of the tree sap.
Do you have to do this?
If it's not true, isn't it good for the both of us?
We can rid of unnecessary misunderstandings, as well...?
Men!
Yes.
Search thoroughly!
Yes.

Move aside!
It's here!
Enough!
You can take them in any time.
Bring it up!
Yes.
This tree sap is
truly found in this louse's dwelling?
Yes.
How could you do that?
I am not the one stole them.
How truly shameless you are!
Where are the rest of the tree sap?
Did you bring it all to ShinGuiGan?
If you insist on being obstinate,
I don't have any choice but to close my lips.
W-What..??
Did ShinGuiGan tell you to do that?
Such unruly bastard!
Will you not hurry up and talk!!
It's not working,
Hang this bastard to that tree!
Yes.
Let's see how far you will last,
if you will or won't open your mouth!
What are you doing?,
strike him now!
Yes.
Oh, please let me go in!
I have to see Lady CheonGoon!
She gave the order not to let anyone in!
Look, man,
Don't you know who this lady is?
She is the wife of JoBang, the Head Swordsmith.
Don't you know?
There's gotta be a misunderstanding,
please open the door so we can explain our story!
I can't do anything about it, either.
Just hurry up and open the door!!
Are we strangers?
I am sorry.
Sir CheonGoon...!
Please save my SooRo!
SooRo would never do such a thing...!
What the heck are you doing??!!
Why are you doing this?
Look at the tree sap!
My master CheonGoon found them in that louse's dwelling.
SooRo!
What happened?
You have to talk so I can know.
In the future when master CheonGoon ascends to be the king,
will you treat the people this way?
W-what...?
You, bastard...!!
Yes,
continue talking!
If you hang me up like a dog or a pig and tell me to talk,
I won't speak even a word.
Go ahead,
just kill me.
Take SooRo down!
Yes.
CheonGoon!
Alright,
What has happened?
Please promise me something first.
What promise do you mean?
I will tell you who stole the tree sap,
please forgive them first.
Forgive them first?
If they committed wrong, then it's right that they get punished.
That tree sap comes from the mountain.
For that to be only used in the Forge was
unreasonable to begin with.
What?
The tree sap is also necessary in making the farming tools.
At this time,
abolish the monopoly of the tree sap
and lettting the people use the tree sap freely
is the right thing to do.
JeongGyeonBi tried to tie ShinGuiGan's underling
that's what she is wishing for.
What...?
Make SooRo as one of my men?
JeongGyeonBi must be in some haste!
Such behavior will only bring on more harm than good!
To be suspicious of the son of JoBang!?
She should know that he is one to be reckoned with for he grew up looking on his father.
It's always been that SooRo was a thorn in JeongGyeonBi's eyes.
But...
But with this incident,
I think JeongGyeonBi will suffer a setback.
A setback?
The Heavens is
helping you, ShinGuiGan, I think.
What are you saying?
Thee mood of HaeBanCheon
doesn't look so great...!
Isn't that so, everyone?
Think about our master SooRo on a usual day.
Of all of you,
a hoe, a rake,
raise your hand if you didn't receive a free tool, ha?
Raise your hand!- No one!
There's not one person who didn't receive one.
Everyone lives getting something from him.
And also,
when GoongSoo gangsters
make a round in our neighborhood,
who chased them away?!
Of course, master SooRo has a little tendency of boasting,
even so, we know that
he is not the person to do such a thing, that much we know.
Isn't that right?
Master SooRo
has stolen something, if that's what you think,
raise your hand, ha?
Raise your hand!
The truth is
that tree sap is
what we took away from GoongSoo.
Even when we said to sell it,
the one who said to bring them back to Master Swordsmith was
SooRo.
Really...?
Why didn't you say that before?
Everyone!
If everyone truly thinks that
SooRo was unfairly treated,
then let's not just be like this.
Then...
What do we have to do?
Meet CheonGoon or Lady CheonGoon in person,
and state your opinion with confidence!
You say SooRo is the pillar of HaebanCheon?
Is what I am saying wrong?
Then, what good is it if we do this just ourselves?
Let's go forward and show it!
If you want this incident to pass safely,
master CheonGoon would have to
apologize to people first.
Apologize?
The future to be king,
I am saying this for master CheonGoon.
He has to think of the people like the sky.
Even a king has done something wrong,
he has to admit it honestly.
The king that the people want is
not the one who rules
but isn't the one who knows the people's heart?
Open the door!- Open the door!
What is it that you want to say to me?
Sometime before
I was traveling with my father,
we were attacked by a group of mercenaries.
An attack?
How can such incident...
We were almost taken over by them
but there was someone who saved us just then.
Who was that?
It was Master SooRo.
Is that so?
But...
him being the underling of the one who attacked my father and me...
That's the story I heard.
If that is indeed the truth,
I thought he couldn't have helped us.
Father said to me
with your level of understanding, you would listen to me, Lady,
even knowing that this may be an unusual request,
I came to see you.
Prince Heo's precious daughter says it like that
I will give it a serious thought.
Hurry, hurry!
What SooRo said was true.
Come close to me.
Open the door!- Open the door!
Master CheonGoon!
How could you do this?
Master SooRo who is innocent,
you took him away?!
Bring him out to here!
it's GoongSoo! GoongSoo!
That donkey stole the tree sap!
As the successor to CheonGoon,
I have something to say to everyone.
I was wrong.
-What's going on...?- Shee...!
Let's hear what he has to say.
SooRo has done no wrong.
SooRo took the tree sap from these men and
he was keeping it only until he brought it to the Forge.
Just seeing that SooRo had the tree sap
I made a wrong decision.
All this that has gone wrong is
my fault.
Move aside...!
What happened?
These men are the actual criminals.
I am sorry.
Oh, master SooRo, your face has become only half of what had been!
But, isn't master CheonGoon great, too,
to admit he was wrong?
That's true. Master CheonGoon,
he is great!
Now that I think about it, that's right.
It's master CheonGoon, victory!"
Master CheonGoon,
Victory!
What...?
Upside down?
What happened?
JeongGyeonBi had
an elaborate plan, I think.
She tricked the people
and tricked us, too?
Truly her cunning is
none to be equaled, that woman is.
Is it true that JeongGyeonBi deliverately planned the whole episode?
Yes.
I think so.
With this incident GooYa Nation people's heart has
been turned toward master CheonGoon.
With such a petty incident,
do you think the people's heart will turn?
Master CheonGoon knelt in front of the people.
Master CheonGoon knelt to people.
Is this an ordinary event?
What do we do about this matter?
Chief Seok, isn't there a way?
The most crafty way that will turn the situation upside down!
Subtitles brought to you by the Kim SooRo Fan Subbing Team @www.Viki.
SooRo!
W-what...?!
Hey!
What are you so deeply in thought of?
Nothing.
Are you feeling alright?
I am alright.
With this incident, YiJinAhShi won over the half of the king's throne.
It's good for him, anyway.
If YiJinAhShi were to become a king, I hope he would be a good one,
even for GooYa as well.
Don't you feel it unfair that you were used?
It was all on purpose, anyhow.
What?
It was all done on purpose?
That's what I said to them to do.
One should win over people's heart to win win over the world.
If there would be a king in GooYa Nation,
I would like him to cherish the people.
The people are like the swaying weed.
Depending on the king, they will fall to the west,
and gather to the east.
With your heart, you must move the people who are like the weed.
The weed maybe weak but won't easily break,
that's why they say people's heart is frightening.
I learned a lot from this incident.
A king has to learn, and learn more.
If you appear weak, they will jump on you to engorge on you like a wild beast.
So you cannot relax even for a moment.
Yes. I understand.
What's happening?
Just because... I was just worried...
Really, you worried about me?
You really did worry about me...!
Well...
a little.
But...
Why do you always make trouble?
What, me?
Do you know what's in here?
My father who I couldn't protect when he was passing,
his words.
What did your father say?
he said that a master swordsmith cannot lose his vision.
The one who has lost his vision cannot be a master swordsmith.
Then why do you live like that?
Me, how?
Everyday you go around like a street thug?
Is that what it looks like, a street thug?
That's so so that everyone can live well
So that the world will be like that.
I am trying to do my best, myself.
When the world becomes like that,
if someone were to be by me, wouldn't that be even better?
Like right now.
He is truly a bright child.
Who... are you talking about?
I am talking about SooRo.
I was duly surprised.
His opinion regarding the tree sap...
and his thought regarding YiJinAhShi are extraordinary.
That's why he is a dangerous one.
I can't fathom when and what he will do.
Lady,
Please treat SooRo warmly.
Why do you not find him to your liking?
Lady...!
Because...
Because I am uncomfortable with him.
You find SooRo uncomfortable...?
What does that mean?
I don't know the reason myself.
I hear the people are praising him.
If this is not the confirmation of the future of master CheonGoon, the what is?
But, how could you think of such useful strategy?
It just turned out to be like that.
It's your usual maneuver, Lady CheonGoon.
I hear the people's heart has turned to master CheonGoon.
That is an underserving compliment.
When the situation is going as well as this, I would like to hasten the marriage of our children,
what do you think, Prince Heo?
How could you have the exactly the same thought as I have?
If we hold the marriage ceremony when things are so positive like this, how can anything else be better than this?
Thank you.
Lady CheonGoon is pushing for the wedding between yiJinAhShi and Heo HwangOk.
To make master CheonGoon king,
she would need someone like Prince Heo, surely.
However, do you think master CheonGoon will really become a king?
Neither master CheonGoon nor ShinGuiGan can become king of Gooya Nation.
A king for GooYa Nation, which has the advanced iron making technology, means allowing wings to sprout.
We can never let that to happen.
We can't be choosy what means and method to use.
In the near future, GooYa Nation will have to belong to SaaRo Country.
Of course.
Coach, what's with you?
Coach, what's gotten into you?
Is there something you're unhappy with me?
Until when will you live like that?
The Prophecy's object is master SooRo.
It says master SooRo will be the king.
Has the time come for SooRo?
Why have you come?
Have I come to a place where I am not allowed?
I came to see the Holy Object.
Lord CheonGoon is praying right now.
I came knowing that.
Who am I?
I am Lady CheonGoon and the mother of CheonGoon's successor.
Am I not different than any ordinary person?
Right now is not the right time,
so come later.
No.
Today, I will have to see the Holy Object.
Let's do it next time.
Lady,
Master CheonGoon, what are you doing, and not coming here?
The child born of Polaris,
will lead the ship of JooRuSeon here,
the leaders come to gather
lift the hands and greet the
The child who comes from north will become GooYa Nation's king...?
Isn't this meaning you?
You have also seen it with your own two eyes,
you are the one who will be the king of GooYa Nation.
I was truly astonished, too.
I thought, "maybe, maybe," but I had no idea the prophecy had existed.
Now, I think we should start the proper preparation for the throne.
First, I want to hasten the marriage with Prince Heo's daughter,
what do you think about that?
Why don't you answer?
I don't think of that maiden as my match.
What are you talking about?
I think neither does Maiden HwangOk consider me as her suitor.
I guess there is another reason,
What is that?
Go ahead and say it.
I have not even once went against your wish.
But for the marriage matter, please allow my choice.
I have never thought of a son who would not follow his mother's decision.
Mother!
How immature you are still!
To become king, you need to keep someone like Prince Heo close by,
do you really not know?
With such lacking thoughtfulness, how will you take the control of GooYa Nation?
Look.
What is this?
I was the Queen of JaeCheon Gold Tribe.
When JaeCheon Gold Tribe in the north was attacked
about a year before you were born.
From the attack, the king, who was also my husband,
Kim Yoong was killed
and I, near to give birth, escaped.
Afterward, I got on the slave ship my mistake bore a son,
but with the ship crashing in the storm, lost the baby,
and I came to be here on GooYa Nation.
That's when I met your father CheonGoon,
and after a year, I delivered you.
According to your grandfather JooRiSeon's prophecy
and the prophecy I had heard in the north when I was still a maid,
the son I bore will become the king of this GooYa Nation.
Even the Holy Object we saw today, wasn't it confirming that, too?
