At the moment, Lady CheonGoon is in anguish, having confirmed SooRo's blood relation to her as her son.
TalHae tried to kill SooRo once more by using AhHyo and failed, thus fleeing to Saro Country.
On the other hand, YiJinAhShi falls into deep turmoil after finding out that SooRo is his older brother.
I torture you and yet you refuse to speak the truth?!
Hurry up and tell me!
Who is the rightful king of GooYa Nation?!
The rightful king of GooYa Nation is SooRo!
The son that you gave birth to, Lady CheonGoon. It's SooRo!
Episode 18
Stop right there!
I'm all dressed.
Come sit.
What is the matter?
It's nothing.
Come, sit.
What is the reason for this rare visit?
The matter concerning Kim HaeGwan...
Actually, rather than that...May I ask you something?
About what?
The tattoo on your arm is...
You mean this?
Why do you keep acting like that?
Master SooRo carrys that mark as well.
You say SooRo has this mark on him...?
Where?
He carries a necklace that has the same mark engraved on it.
SooRo does?!
SooRo, it's me. Do you recognize me?
Master SooRo!
Master SooRo! Master SooRo!
Master SooRo!
I'm sorry.
Why?
That you had to go under ShinGuiGan authority because of Lady Swordsmith and...
the Lady CheonGoon having to kill you...that is all fate.
Accept it.
AhHyo.
The fact that you have to watch the man you love die is also your fate.
However. That there is a man who will ultimately throw away his life for your sake is comforting.
Please! Please let master SooRo live!
It's regretful that you and I have come to this, when we were once like brothers.
But all of this is... the will of Lady CheonGoon... the one who gave birth to you.
What...is that supposed to mean?
It means that it's fate, how she couldn't even recognize the son she gave birth to and ordered his death.
Then, you mean Lady CheonGoon is... Master SooRo's birth mother?!
But you're still better off than me. After all, you get to know who gave you birth before you die.
You jerk!
Then why didn't you tell that fact to Lady CheonGoon?!
You who lived, ate and breathed, in the same place as her!
SooRo...
That time, when you pulled out your sword...
you should have killed me.
Send him away comfortably.
No, you can't!
You CAN'T!
Master SooRo! Master SooRo!
You can't! You can't!
Master SooRo!
No-!
Nooo! Nooo!
HALT!
Stop right there!
SooRo!
Come, wake up!
I'VE come! Look at ME!
SooRo...SooRo!
SooRo!
Mother is here!
Try to open your eyes!
Your mother, I've, come!
SooRo! SooRo!
I'm sorry!
I have made you - my son - like this!
SooRo!
No, you can't!
You can't go!
Open your eyes!
Open your eyes, SooRo!
Master SooRo!
You can't go SooRo! Master SooRo!
Master SooRo!
Master SooRo! Master SooRo! Master SooRo!
Master SooRo!
What are you all doing?!
Put him on your back AT ONCE!
Yes, ma'am.
My son...do you think he will be able to live?!
Because the wound is so deep...I can't be sure of the outcome...
Save him! I don't care how - you must save him!
Mother.
Why is SooRo here?
SooRo is...your older brother.
What?
SooRo is...the child we all thought was dead all along!
Without even knowing that, I committed this catastrophic deed!
Mother...
what in the world are you saying right now?!
We have to save your older brother! Can you think of a way to do so?!
I can't go like this. Please take me to Master SooRo!
I can't do that. Maiden AhHyo, you must restore your stability and calm as well!
What if something goes wrong with Master SooRo?
He is a strong person so don't worry too much.
It's because of me.
It's all because of me that he became like that!
No, it's not.
It's not your fault at all Maiden AhHyo.
Don't blame yourself.
Mother, how did it go?
The wound is so deep so I don't think it's going to be easy.
Who in the world did such a thing as this?!
Mother, listen carefully.
I don't know the relationship between Lady CheonGoon and SooRo - that you must know and how people must think.
Understand?
What do you mean?
In any case, I don't know anything - that is how it must be.
If not, I will be in danger.
Then...are you saying you are the one who did this?! No, right?!
This was something Lady CheonGoon ordered.
This event... what are we going to do?!
I had hoped against all hope but that secret has popped out of the can after all!
You...
Can you explain to me what in the world happened?!
What...I'm not sure what you are talking about...
You... how could you hide such a humongous thing as this from me?!
I've committed a crime worthy of my death!
Then...are you telling me that SooRo is my son - without a doubt?!
Tell me what in the world happened and what the situation was, that you had to do something like this.
Lady Swordsmith had a stillborn baby for the third time - that night...
Assistant Swordsmith carried and brought back a baby who was crying in front of the ocean which was bringing forth wreckage of a ship with its waves.
We thought the baby's mother had died as well - that's why...
I suggested to Chief Swordsmith, who was deeply troubled after finding out that the baby was dead, to take the baby in
You mean to tell me that SooRo's mother knew the truth all along?!
No! At that time, Lady Swordsmith was unconscious from travailing so she thinks master SooRo is the one she gave birth to!
You mean to tell me that you didn't have the slightest inclination that SooRo's mother could have been me - not even in your dreams?!
I knew.
Let me ask you one more thing.
Was CheonGoon also aware of this fact?
Yes.
I've committed a crime worthy of my death!
ShinGuiGan's Hideout
So, have you searched and found anything out about it?
I've given the order so let's wait for a bit. It will be alright - most likely, nothing big will happen.
But...why are you so anxious today?
Yesterday night's dreams were so disconcerting so...
What is the reason for this rare visit from CheonGoon's son?
You must have been very frightened.
Are you all right?
Has Master SooRo awakened?
We have yet to find out.
The wound was so deep, it doesn't seem he's going to be able to wake up easily.
It's the deed of Seok TalHae - that bastard
That guy...without mercy...to SooRo...!
AhHyo, calm down and regain your senses.
Now I will excuse myself - please converse comfortably.
I came because I was worried about you but...as expected, you have only SooRo in your thoughts.
I am sorry.
Nevermind, get well soon.
It seems there is none who acknowledges my heart - no matter where I go.
So. Tell it to me straight - how is his condition?!
Th-that is...right now...they say he is in critical condition.
Why - Why are you doing this?! Come to your senses, wife!
Why are you just standing there?
Why aren't you doing anything to help?!
H-How c-could I...touch her ladyship...with my h-hands...
For goodness sakes - eish!
When JoBang was alive...
We, too, at one point in time, were suspicious of SooRo's birth.
THAT must have been the truth!
Grand Duke! Grand Duke! It's especially at times like these that you mustn't act rashly!
Calmly...Carefully...
You must think things through well!
SooRo is now in the hands of JeongGyeonBi so this matter cannot be easily be solved, now can it?!
She is Lady Swordsmith!
The Lady Swordsmith has come and is here.
Why are you making me wait so long?!
Please let me in quickly!
Why don't you come on in.
SooRo! SooRo, how in the world did you get like this?!
Come to your senses!
It's mother! Mother is here!
Lady CheonGoon! Why and how in the world did SooRo become like this?!
Please, I beg you, wake up SooRo!
SooRo, I beg you!
You should calm down. He needs stability to regain his health.
S-SooRo!
Ai...
Yes, SooRo!
Have you come to your senses?!
CheonGoon's wife having to kill you, despite who you are, is all fate.
Accept it.
SooRo!
SooRo! Yes...
Yes, that's right...
Mother...
Yes, SooRo. You recognize mother's face at last!
How did you become like this?! What were you doing?!
Sorry...sorry...
SooRo!
SooRo! SooRo!
SooRo, come to your senses!
Please, come to your senses!
Seok TalHae!
Seok TalHae, this bastard! I'm going to...
Attack!
Where is Seok TalHae?!
Seok TalHae!
Seok TalHae, come out!
You little bastard...
Seok TalHae!
You little bastard!
Seok TalHae!
Seok TalHae, you little rat-like bastard!
If I catch you, I won't let you be!
Pass this message along to your owner precisely!
...that Seok TalHae is as good as dead in GooYa Nation.
already a dead being in GooYa Nation.

Well,
What's wrong?
It's...
I came in a hurry to discuss something.
Please speak.
Since SooRo, who was born with prophecy, has found the birth mother,,
Wouldn't GooYa Nation finally have him as a ruler?
So?
GooYa Nation's king...
I don't think you want that, do you?
So, what is it that you want from me?
Although SooRo's life clings on dearly,
doesn't he have a chance to live still?
So you want me to... make sure he never stands up again?
You understand very quickly, just as I expected.
SooRo's mother.
Please, speak.
SooRo is... my son.
What do you mean...?
The child I lost as soon as I gave birth to, is SooRo.
Lady Cheongoon, what are you talking about?
I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth.
Are you saying that SooRo is not my son?
Of course SooRo would be your only son since you spent your life raising him.
However, I certainly delivered SooRo.
Lady Cheongoon...!
I even confirmed it.
What do you mean confirm? From whom did you confirm the truth?
I gave birth, bearing the aching pain from my stomach. What are you talking about?
Tell her.
Lady Swordsmith...
What's wrong?
It's true what Lady Cheongoon said.
You... what kind of nonsense are you talking about?
What do you mean true? Nobody but you... don't you remember the moment when you held SooRo in your hands?
Your baby I held was already dead.
What are you talking about?
That time, Assistant Swordsmith took master SooRo from the ocean...
and gave him to you to hold.
That can't be true... that can't be true!
You must be mistaken!
Think through!
No... no! That cannot be true!
Lady Cheongoon...
What are you doing?
Why are you trying to snatch SooRo away from me?:
I also lived my life, not aware of his true identity.
Please understand how I feel too.
What's wrong with you!
It's not true!
Tell Lady Cheongoon the truth!
This cannot happen!
Lady Cheongoon! You can't do this!
SooRo... SooRo is my son!
Are you saying that SooRo is born with the prophecy?
I... I can't... I...
Ma'am... ma'am...
SooRo's father...
Why did you pass away without a word to me?
If SooRo finds this out, how shocked would he be?
I'm sorry to say this, but...
It's beyond my skills to take care of this wound.
What do you mean too hard?
If not you, who would treat him right?
You cannot give up! He has to live!
I am looking for a capable doctor.
A capable doctor?
Did you say a capable doctor?
Can you bring one right away?
Don't worry. I'll make sure SooRo lives.
SaRo Nation's faith is on your hands.
We cannot accept one mistake.
Yes, Princess.
I heard that SooRo is in an urgent situation, so...
I asked for the doctor.
Either we take SooRo to the SaRo Nation or whatever, we need to make sure that he lives first, don't we?
Aunt...
Thank you. You must...
Make sure that he lives, okay?
I'll do my best, Princess.
Geez...
How can you possibly make someone...
He's been damaged in the inside as well as out,
everywhere his body is shutting down.
Please let him live!
Please, whatever you do!
If that's so,
may I use my secret method?
If you can make him live, wouldn't you have to use any kind of prescription?
It could make him live, or even kill him.
That's what the prescription is.
We have no choice.
Please do your best.

Brother.
What is it?
I was bored.
You're bored?
Brother, what's wrong? You're not even talking.
BeoDeul... don't you miss your mother?
I don't even remember how my mother looks like.
But... why do you ask that kind of thing all of sudden?
That person laying down in the room said that he found his mother.
He must be happy.
But that person's sick.
So that guy's mother is very sad too.
Then, is he dying?
To die... I guess that won't do...?
So, how is SooRo's condition at the moment?
It's very critical.
Let's go.
Indeed.
Let's go.
What happened anyway?
Someone tried to get rid of master SooRo.
He's not one who can die.
He has something planned out with me.
Although I didn't express it, he's the only person that would become a good business partner.
But, who is this...?
He's a doctor from Han Nation.
I found him from the Han merchant ship heading toward NeukDo, so I brought him here.
That was very well done.
Now, let's go.
Ok, let's go.
We already have a doctor, who treated his wounds.
He's a famous doctor, even in Han Nation. How about letting him take a look at his wounds?
Let's just watch for his improvement first, shall we?
Whoever the doctor was,
I think it's better to let him take a look.
Who is this person?
He is SunDo, who took care of master SooRo back in NeukDo.
Is that so?
Thank you for looking after him.
SooRo!
SooRo... SooRo!
Why is he bleeding?
Blood is starting to circulate, that's why he is spitting up blood.
He has to endure this.
Darn it...
This is vinegar.
Who put vinegar in the medicine?
Who is this?
Vinegar brings up reaction of high temperature and is very poisonous.
Seeing that he is spitting up blood, too much amount of it has been used on him.
All over his body, the system is shutting down,
so much medicine is necessary.
Who brought this quack of a doctor? Please kick him out!
Even if the patient gets healed, using this herb,
he may become retarded for his life.
We must expunge the poison right away!
Doctor from Han Nation, please take care of him.
Don't blame me if something becomes wrong with the patient.
I think they caught on.
Did JeongGyeonBi find out?
Because the guy named SeonDo bring the doctor from the Han Nation...
Aunt, what are you talking about?
What did you do to master SooRo?
This is not the time to talk about that.
What will happen to master SooRo?
Is he dying?
Stop saying those immature things.
How can you lie to me, aunt?
You said you're going to make him live,
You said you're going to take him to SaRo Nation.
Can't you shut up!
Aunt...
Since JeongGyeonBi noticed it, we have no time.
What will you do?
Does JeongGyeonBi know that I brought the doctor?
She doesn't know that much yet.
Then, you're the only one that needs to hide.
Just me?
Go to SaRo Nation.
Find HoGong.
Where is TalHae?
Why are you asking that all of sudden?
He tried to kill your older brother.
Why did he do that?
I need to know that reason.
Bring in TalHae right away!
How is master SooRo. Did nothing happen?
He should be okay.
Really?
Maiden AhHyo...
I'm going to see master SooRo now.
Go with me, then.
Master SooRo...
Please get up...
Subtitles brought to you by the Kim SooRo Fan Subbing Team.
Master SooRo...
Master SooRo!
Are you okay now?
I'm sorry...
For not being able to protect you...
I'm really sorry...
Where are you going?
Get off the saddle.
HongDo.
Master Cheongoon...
I have something to discuss with you.
Can you really accept SooRo as your older brother?
The moment you accept him as your brother,
SooRo will have the advantage, becoming the king of GooYa Nation.
There has to be something in the future that I can do for you.
Please, let me go.
Where are you going?
I'm going to SaRo Nation.
The decision you made today will become a great help to your upcoming future.
May I ask, why you made that decision?
Just pretend like you don't know anything.
Especially from mother.
He escaped?
I think he already knew what was coming.
I won't forgive TalHae, who made your brother look like that.
You mark my word too.
What's wrong?
Did you not hear me?
Yes.
Stop crying and... gather up your strengths...
What's done is done.
TalHae...
Well... TalHae's specialty is disappearing when he just appears and..
If he appears, he disappears again.
Don't worry about it. Nothing will happen to him.
No, that's not it.
He may not return to me, ever.
Please... get up now.
It's all revealed, so you should feel better about it now.
Ah, in this world... How ironic!!
Starting with Lady Cheongoon who could not recognize her real son...
And lady Swrodsmith who raised SooRo as if he was her real son.
How unfortunate...!
Anyway, would SooRo be able to live?
Oh, at the right time.
It's a miracle that the great doctor from the Han Nation appeared.
Oh, if it's positive the fact that master SooRo is Lady Cheongoon's real son,
does that mean SooRo is the king of GooYa Nation?
Well, that's how we were thinking anyway.
Then Master Cheongoon...
Is like a dog chasing a chicken...
How unfortunate for Master Cheongoon...
Stop with your chitty chat.
If you have a kid by now, then you should act more mature.
What nonsense is this!
You old geezer always pick on me...
Lady, I came to bring my son SooRo.
What are you doing in front of other people's house, being very rude?
Get off the horse now!
You're the one being rude first.
Why are you keeping other people's son for quite a lot of days?
Grand Duke, you're mistaken. SooRo is in critical condition.
Critical situation?
You're saying that our fine boy got sick all of a sudden or something?
There were cuts all over his body...
What?
What do you mean cuts!
Who could have done such a thing?
Where is my SooRo right now?
Let's go. I need to see it with my own eyes.
Lead the way, Lady.
SooRo..
What happened?
Why is he laying down here?
Who the hell did this to you?
SooRo... SooRo!
Your father's here...
Your father's here... get up!
Oh my... master SooRo! What kind of disaster is this?
Just what the hell happened to him?
Lady Cheongoon, please explain what happened.
Looks like assassins attacked him.
What do you mean assassins? Who sent them?
I'm investigating it.
M'lady, did SooRo even get the right treatment?
I can't let this slip...
Are you out there, GiTae?
No!
Didn't the doctor say he that my SooRo could get hurt seriously?
Lady Cheongoon, what did you just say?
Did you say "my SooRo"?
SooRo... is my child who I had lost..
What did you just say?
Your missing son?
So you're now making up a story when you heard that SooRo is building a forge?
Grand Duke is right.
There has to be some motivations in this.
I'm pretty sure there has to be.
Watch what you're saying!
Why don't you ask your wife yourself?
Since moving him may be dangerous, we should treat him here for a while.
We must bring him somehow.
At this rate, JeongGyeonBi will try to keep him.
Isn't it his thoughts that matter?
Well, he obviously wouldn't ignore his mother, who raised him for 20 years.
Of course, of course.
If he were to do that, he couldn't be a human being.
But... blood is thicker than water.
What if JeongGyeonBi tries to push SooRo to the throne instead of YiJinAhShi?
What?
Push him to the throne?
That cannot happen.
I should take him before she does something.
I came to check it for the last time.
Since Cheongoon was here, the prophecy has not changed.
It's just that Lady Cheongoon denied it.
Please, accept the heaven's fate.
Isn't it human who decipher Heaven's Intention?
And yet, how are you so sure?
The prophecy... before you were born, when SooRo came to GooYa Nation,
it has been bestowed already.
Then my father...
Why did he not tell me the truth to the end?
He was probably aware of Lady Cheongoon, who is very short tempered.
Then...
How should I live my life from now on?
If you take the heaven's fate, you should know what to do.
I just cannot accept it.
Because it's SooRo, had it been anyone else...!
That's why I can't accept it even more.
You have to control your feeling.
What can I do, when I can't do anything about it?
Even if it wasn't SooRo,
I... not even for once...
To expect that I cannot be the king of GooYa Nation...
I never expected that before.
To see that you can't leave SooRo even once, I think you guys have some special relationship.
Am I wrong?
Was it because of SooRo that you rejected YiJinAhShi's marriage proposal?
Since when SooRo was living as a street thug,
my eyes only saw SooRo.
More than this mother, you have recognized SooRo better than I.
I feel grateful for the fact that you're close to SooRo.
Please, take care of him from now on.
SooRo...
So you're destined?
I'm sorry but...
I cannot accept it.
Why do you have to take my life away?
I...
Have no intention of living as your shadow.
