12 Lesser States of ByeonHan in 36 A.D., there is the contest to select the best swordsman in all of GooYa Nation. Of SooRo and YiJinAhShi, who do not know that they are brothers, which one will be the winner...
Episode 9
How immature you are!
To become the king of GooYa Nation,
you need someone like Prince Heo near by,
don't you really know that?
Where are you going in the middle of the night?
Oh, I am not.
How did you come?
Because you didn't come out I came in.
Let's go.
Where?
You will know when we go.
I can't go.
From long time ago, I wanted to show you.
I told you don't go out,
where did you go?
I just went out to get refreshed.
Come here and sit down.
Will you pretend to the end?
Return to SaaRo Country.
Aunt!
you are going to accomplish this mission, you cannot like a man.
Why don't you know your life will become dangerous the minute you start to like him.
He is not that dangerous.
You lost your heart to him why isn't he dangerous?
In the alleys of HaeBanCheon
he goes around like a thug, what do you think you can do with such a man?
Master CheonGoon who will be the king is looking at you,
what is he lacking that you hang around the thug like him?
Hey, hey, why is he like this these days?
That's right.- it's suspicious...
That guy... Hey...!
Hey, show me what's so fun!
What's that?
Ah,.. whatever is causing you to hum.
Hey, is it that miss from before?
Oh, naw...
Then, then,... Hey, then...
The girl from YeonHaJang?
Gosh, why do you do this...!
Gee, brother, do you think he'd tell you so easily?
Oh, really...?
Here, boy...!
Please, please let me go...!
So you should talk...!
Did you see older brother MoolSae ever letting go of something he's curious about?
Talk.
Wow!
There...!
Someone strange...!
What is it?
Hey, hey, brat...!
Come back...!
Already,...
he's become the age to know female...!?
What is the matter, at this early morning hour?
You have a place to go with me.
Master CheonGoon came personally,
won't you go with him?
Choose what you like.
Why so suddenly do you ask me to choose shoes?
Aren't the flower shoes pretty?
Do you like those?
Yes, they are so pretty.
The people of GooYa Nation are very crafty with their hands.
Even in my India, it's not easy finding such beautiful shoes.
Then, we will settle on those.
In India, as the wedding present
Tea plant or tea leaves are sent, I hear.
Yes.
The tea plant lacks roots so if you transplant it, it will die.
Once you marry, to put down your root in that home and live well,
such present is sent to mean that.
In My GooYa Nation when the groom is proposing,
he presents to the bride the flower shoes.
If the bride wears the flower shoes,
the propose is considered to have been accepted.
If such meaning exists,
I cannot accept the shoes.
I know well that master CheonGoon is a good person.
You are too good to be true for me.
But,
with you, master CheongGoon,
I have no desire to marry.
This is a holy place.
You startled me...!
Even a holy place is where people live!
Don't you want to know what happened to priestess HaeRye?
Even then, to defile a holy place...!
I did it before...!?
It's no big deal.
Just don't do anything bad, that's all.
Aren't you going to look for priestess HaeRye?
She is really not here.
I really don't know what's going on.
I wonder if she is being given a hard time because she's met me...
Wait just a little bit...?
If she cannot be found even when searched for many days,
doesn't it indicate that she has come to harm?
You must be worried a lot.
Wasn't she like a sister to you?
I just hope that no harm will come to you, CheonGoon.
What do you mean by that?
I am saying this to you because she knows everthing about CheonMyeongGwan matter.
By any chance, can ShinGuiGan be behind this?
Lately ShinGuiGan's arrogance had been harder to ignore
I was afraid he's do something.
Let's hope such thing won't happen.
Let's wait just a little more.
She's not inside.
What matter can it be?
What the heck could have happened to priestess HaeRye?!
It's all because of me.
I loved a woman who serves the Heavens...
What are you talking about?
A human being loving another human being...
Wait just a little.
I know we will be able to find her.
The major personality spy is a female...!
Please go inside now.
She's been scared stiff, so she will talk.
I heard you know about the Prophecy.
I have no intention of harming you.
I won't blame you even if you lied to the Heavens and loved a man.
But,
What you heard of the Prophecy, I will know.
I don't know,
how can such a low level priestess like myself can know about the prophecy?
Even if I know, I cannot say it.
DeukSeon's life depends on your mouth,
can you talk then?
You cannot harm him.
He has nothing to do with the Prophecy!
If you won't open your mouth,
there is nothing else to do, isn't it?
Before the Ceremony to Heavens, there will be a contest for the strongest sword
and the best swordsman of GooYa Nation.
It's a contest!
Wow!
How many years has it been?
Is it about three years ago?
Hey, who will be the victor this time, huh?
Right!
Are you curious?
Of course, we are curious.
Winning at this contest means... "this" in GooYa Nation,
This time, without much ado, it will be master CheonGoon.
Our captain SooRo is up there, too...!
With the skill level that makes farming tools in HaeBanCheon,
how will he compete with the successor of CheonGoon?
Our captain is the son of the Head Swordsmith.
That is the story from ages ago.
It's a different situation now, when he gets into fist fights in Hae banCheon.
W-W-what...! what's the use of arguing everyday with your mouths?!
Take your money out. Such wonderful play..., you should put your money where your mouth is!
we should do betting, some betting!
Fine,
I bet that our captain SooRo will win.
Good.
Me, too!
I can't miss out, then!
For me...
master CheonGoon!
There, master CheonGoon.
Master CheonGoon!
Hurry! Take the names down!
I will just bet on master CheonGoon- Me, too!
Gosh... How much money is this?
When the contest is over, we could even have a party!
Takes the names down, quick!

Who...! What...!
Where did AhHyo go?
It's strange, she was here until just before...!
How will you live from now?
Live how...? I have to live happily.
Fist fighting in the alleys of HaeBanCheon?
I should have to work harder in the smithy,
if I am going to buy you yummy food and pretty clothes, AhHyo.
I don't need those things.
Oh, really?
Then... I can keep receiving free customers.
I... want to see you win in the contest, so you cane be the best swordsman.
I think I will be very happy, then, master SooRo.
I won't compete in it.
In those things, only the people who want to take the control over GooYa Nation,
Only those people compete in that.
I wish you would participate in it.
Are you miffed?
No.
You ARE miffed..!
In SaaRo Country, GooYa Nation's communication is frequently delivering the news,
who can be sending these messenger birds?
We just can't find out about that.
What about JeongGyeonBi and CheonGoon?
They are concerned with the contest, I don't think they send the birds.
In JeongGyeonBi's case, she won't like the unreliable system, but rather want a relationship with a person.
It didn't seem like that with ShinGuiGan and Yeom SaChi.
Can someone by the name of Seok TalHae arrive here in GooYa?
Yes, not long ago he returned.
But, what about him?
Even when he was in Han Country,
there was areport that he would send out the messenger birds to collect information of all the countries.
Really?
Then, GooYa Nation's messenger birds can be his doing.
AhHyo,
Yes, aunt.
Look around him carefully.
You must be careful, Your Highnesses,
if he is the man who sent the messenger birds to SaaRo Country,
he will try to discover your true identities.
I understand.
I am very intrigued to know who he is.
You said you returned as a beggar, did you pull this ship out of the water?
Yes, I pulled out a ship.
I think it's not just the ship you pulled out.
Don't you have something I can introduce to HaebanCheon?
Gee, that song of HaeBanCheon...!
Oh!
Look O~VER there!
Don't you think Gooya Nation is in our hands?
GooYa Nation, I was called a pair of dog-hole pants here but
I want to dedicate my life to it.
To HaebanCheon that loves me, I also
want to dedicate my life!
Come in.
Wow, it's decent.
What do you do here?
What do you think?
All I have learned is selling, so I have to eat to live.
Wow~~
Oh, what's that?
Ah, that. It's a map that shows Han and the three seas.
There is a such thing as this exists?
Bring it over here.
Look, over here is our...
This is ByeonHan where our GooYa Nation is,
And this side is MaHan, which has become a part of BaekJe.
And then, on this side
is JinHan where SaaRo country is,
but there are many still to be annexed by SaaRo Country.
Wow, you can see all around!
But, in as much as all the looking around I do,
there is no land like our GooYa Nation.
The fertile land that has the harbor from heaven!
Moreover, we possess the advanced iron making skills,
it's enough for anybody to covet it, of course.

We are hungry...
Please give me food...
I am hungry...!
Give me food, please...
I am hungry...
Give me food, please...-Give me food, please...
I am hungry...-Give me food, please...
Give me food, please...
Give me food...
I am hungry...- I am hungry...
Next time...
I will give it ti you next time, alright?
Give me food...
I am hungry...-Give me food...
Give me food...
That man TalHae...
Something is suspicious, that's for sure.
Raising the messenger birds,
and also he had made secret rooms under the ship...!
It's strange in many ways.
Who did he meet?
Why can't you answer?
Just...
the people of HaeBanCheon.
So, a person of HaeBanCheon, who did he meet?
Since he grew up there,
he'd meet them, there.
It was no one special.
You can't neglect your watch.
If he was the one who sent the messenger birds,
we have to cut him out from this side first.
It's very nice, the sound of the sitar.
Please continue,
The sitar sound was very beautiful,
I didn't know I was moving.
Do you still have a lot to do?
Let's retire to inside, now.
Yes.
If you will hang on like this,
We have no choice but to bind and gag him to bring him here.
Are you wanting to hurt him?
You had best just
kill me, please.
Killing you...,
what do I gain by doing so?
If you open your mouth,
I will make a way for you to live from now on.
Just hanging on is not the only solution.
The one who had been named in the Prophecy,
who is he?
I...
Don't know.

What is this?
It's steelized Iron.
It's the iron that can make a sword for the king.
Even the ones bested at the Field Competition
could conquer the world with this iron.
Also the king of NakRang
clamor to gain the sword made with this iron.
When you are presenting such a precious object,
always there is something desired in return...?
I am not doing this to get something.
Just because
the owner of this iron is master CheonGoon who will lead GooYa Nation,
I am only trying to find it's owner.
Last time you were on shinGuiGan's side
and found Master swordsmith IlSeo, are you trying to make up for that?
I was struggling to break out,
were you still keeping it in your heart?
Howcan I forget that?
I deeply regret that.
A wise one is said to know the hero,
I will have to serve master CheonGoon well, even now.
Isn't that so?
Chief,
why did you present that precious object to CheonGoon and return empty handed?
Empty handed?
I gained everything I had meant to gain.
I gained their trust.
I presented them the steelized iron that will could make master CheonGoon to win the contest,
do you think they will be suspicious of me with HaeRye?
You are so natural.
CheonGoon and JeongGyeonBi will
try to make YiJinAhShi the King through this competition.
We should successfully finish our plan before the competition.
The problem is the reason.
No one can surpass the military force of ShinGuiCheon.
Also,
I have Dark Mark who I can trust.
But,
if we move without proper reason,
eight tribes will come at me at like a swarm of bees.
How can I deal with it?
a proper reason?
Isn't it ultimately the Prophecy?
Isn't GooYa Nation the nation of Heavenly God?
If we have a proper Prophecy to go with...,
wouldn't it be easier to do it?
The Heavens' Command...
I will give it a try.
Will you try it?
Even the Heavens' intentions also, ultimately made up by human beings, aren't they?
Who in the world
can sort out the truth of The Prophecy?
GooYa Nation is becoming very complicated.
They are going to fabricate the Prophecy, aren't they?
If they will do it, GooYa Nation will be in a great turmoil.
That turmoil..
will be beneficial for us,, or
harmful for us.
We have to be on guard at all times.
You are going back early today!
I have things to do.
I already told Lady CheonGoon about it.
I want to finish making a sword quickly so that
I can show it to you.
The sword you made, master CheonGoon,
twill be the best in GooYa Nation, won't it?
Do you really think so?
Of course.
Give it to me. I will pour it.
There is no swordsmith who is better than our captain.
What about his sword skills?
Right!
That our captain is the best
the Heaven knows
and the earth knows it, too.
I also know, too!
Captain!
You have to win in this competition.
We
bet our money on you.
Just to squash Mr. ChooGyeong's nose,
Please win for us.
Why should I bother with such as that?
Is there a reason why I should be party to the GooYa Nation's royal family's festivities?
A part...?
What are you talking about? You are the best.
That's alright, I won't do that.
Let's drink.
Master ChoenGoon will make a sword by steelized iron for the competition.
Really?
Don't you really feel anything?
Really I don't feel anything.
What should I do?
You are the son of the head swordsmith.
Then?
So what about the son of the head swordsmith?
I really want to see you winning in the competition.
Can I
make you happy with something else?
How can you be joking?
You said you were leaving because you have things to do,
was that meeting with SooRo?
SooRo!
Why do you show up in front of her?
Do you think you and she
are becoming even a bit?
What's with not suiting?
How about it, look good, don't we?
Let go, will you?
If I can't let go...?
Why are you behaving like this?
For the goodness' sake,
you should know yourself before raving about.
What about me?
One who sold his father
to save his own neck.
Your rashness that ruined the funeral killed your father.
Do you get it?
What?
Please stop!
If you speak of my father one more time, I won't leave you alone!
Did I say a wrong thing?
You think you are good at everything,
but not even once,
you bested me.
However much you struggle against it,
you are a mere thug of HaeBanCheon streets,
and I am
the successor of CheonGoon of GooYa Nation.
You got that?
Fine,
let's see how good you are.
Your infinite conceit
will see the day that it crumbles.
Subtitles brought to you by the Kim SooRo Fan Subbing Team @www.Viki.
Do you know what this father's vision was?
Unrusting, unbending,
unbreaking iron, to making that is it.
Then, what is your vision?
Unrusting,
unbending,
unbreaking sword is it.
I think the time has come.
Your father used these tools when he was alive.
SooRo,
It's fine to mingle with the people of HaeBanCheon,
a man should live with a huge ambition in his heart.
I... will now be able to face your father comfortably.
My gosh!
I thought it was a ghost.
Who is that?
SooRo..., it's SooRo, brother.
Look, from where did the sun rise?
I couldn't check, but I don't think it rose from the west.
No, you couldn't have seen it,
I am sure it must have come up from the west!
You have been hammering since dawn, you must be hungry,
Eat this and then continue.
The Prophecy has been descended?
Who is that?
It will be discovered soon.
That means... CheonGoon had been hiding the Prophecy for the last 18 years?
CheonGoon...
not disclosing the Heavens intention to the people is an unforgivable act.
Of course, it cannot be forgiven at all...
The problem is... the object of the Prophecy, isn't it?
No matter what, we will have to get our hands on the details.
Without a doubt.
I will just depend on you.
Stand!
Take! Sword!
Kneel!
Unsheathe the swords.
I finally made the sword you wanted.
Position!
Hut!
Ready!
Sword Fight!
All ten participants won.
Lastly, I will ask in the name of the Heavens,
people of this land, do you accept?
Master CheonGoon YiJinAhShi,
will you present your sword to the Heavens?
I cannot accept!
How dare you!
You do you think you are that you appear in this place?
CheonGoon Guard, what are you doing,
pull him out of here!
Your sin of defiling this holy ground would be severe!
Traditionally this contest can have up to 12 participants and
The children of the Nine States, the master CheonGoon, and the children of Head Swordsmith.
And, lastly, one who represents the people of this land.
So it goes that SooRo, who is a sone of the Head Swordsmith
can naturally compete in this contest.
SooRo did not attend the requirement process!
SooRo, attend to the requirement process!
