Gim Chun Chu is so daring as to provoke disorder in the royal family of Baekje.
I must sentence him to death.
Your Majesty, if we kill Gim Chun Chu, that's tantamount to starting an all out war with Silla.
In order to prevent us going to war, we must convince the nobles.
I'm opposed to starting an all out war against Silla.
Do you want to spare Gim Chun Chu his life?
This is the list of nobles who have agreed to spare Gim Chun Chu.
Therefore bribing those people whose names are on this list will be sufficient.
The number of noblemen advocating Gim Chun Chun be killed is increasing?
Her Highness, the royal consort, summoned them personally and convinced them.
She has grasped hold of their weaknesses.
Do you know why I have to do this?
If you were to be the vanguard and attack Silla,
you will gain greater eminence than His Majesty.
Compared to His Majesty, the commoners will hold you in higher regard.
There'll come a day when His Majesty will live in fear of you.
Wouldn't that be sweet revenge against His Majesty for snatching me away?
Your Highness!
Only then I, Eun Go,
can return to your side.
-= Episode 27 =-
What matter causes you to be so deep in thought?
It's nothing.
Is it because you met Her Highness, the royal consort?
Let me ask you something.
His Majesty married Her Highness because he wanted to save her.
He wouldn't have done it if that wasn't the case, right?
Of course not.
That must be so.
If Her Highness wasn't pregnant with His Majesty's dragon child,
she wouldn't have survived because of the late king's wrath.
What were you discussing with Her Highness, that you're bringing up the past?
Wouldn't that be sweet revenge against His Majesty for snatching me away?
That's really...
How can you do this?
What's wrong?
It's unbecoming of Royal Consort Eun Go and her cronies to be threatening the nobles.
It's not the winter chill that's causing people to tremble in the royal court, but the chills coming from the people there.
I don't understand why Royal Consort Eun Go wants Gim Chun Chu to be killed.
As far as Royal Consort Eun Go is concerned, killing Gim Chun Chu is achieving many objectives in one fell swoop.
Achieving many objectives in one fell swoop?
By helping His Majesty and gaining his trust, this will be beneficial to her.
Killing Gim Chun Chu can undermine the Queen's power.
In future, when it comes to the appointment of the Crown Prince, it will also be beneficial.
In short, if she can hold the nobles to ransom in this matter, in future it will be easy for her to control the court.
Is that all there is?
Are there any other reasons?
Wouldn't that be sweet revenge against His Majesty for snatching me away?
Only then I, Eun Go,
can return to your side.
Alike, so very alike!
What is alike?
I'm talking about the royal consort.
She's very like the previous Queen Sa Taek.
As long as she achieves her objectives, she'll use any means, be they fair or foul.
She's not a friend but a foe.
Even though we have different views, how can you compare a friend to Queen Sa Taek?
Friend! Do you reckon royal consort and us are friends?
Have you forgotten? How we helped His Majesty to rise to his position?
Her royal consort risked her life in her confrontation with Queen Sa Taek.
Yes, but Gye Baek,
Royal Consort Eun Go and His Majesty now seem to be different from us.
If you still consider her a friend, you'll only get yourself in trouble in the future.
Hyeongnims, why are the both of you and Her Highness behaving in this manner? (Hyeongnim - respected older brother)
What's this? This decision making meeting concerns Baekje's future!
Why are we doing this to ourselves?
We cannot afford to act like this, we're running out of time!
For Baekje's sake, we must convince the nobles.
It should be very clear to you, daejwapyeong,
if we kill Gim Chun Chu now, we'll have to start an all out war with Silla.
If that were to happen, chaos will reign.
Live.
Die.
Live.
Die.
Now there are three votes asking for Gim Chun Chu's death.
To spare him, there are three votes.
The rest are blank papers.
This final vote will decide whether Gim Chun Chu lives or dies.
Live.
Is this the outcome of the meeting?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We have, after much deliberation, decided not to kill Gim Chun Chu.
Is that so, daejwapyeong?
But I am not going to accept that decision.
The fact that Gim Chun Chu humiliated our royal affairs, didn't all of you witness that?
All of you are ministers of which country, the nobility of which country?
How can all of you be so inflexible towards me,
but so lenient towards the enemy?
I will definitely not let Gim Chun Chu live.
Even though we're fearful Your Majesty, you can't revoke the decision of this Council.
Please withdraw your decree.
I heard Gye Baek went and convinced the noblemen.
So, now Gye Baek is in control of the Council as well?
Your Majesty, as I see it,
it's not because of them abiding by Gye Baek's wishes, but more like the noblemen panicked.
Just the mention of Gye Baek's name, you can't seem to take it.
Looks like we'll have to first invalidate the Council's meeting.
From the time of the first king, the Council has always defied the royal edicts.
They've always opposed the king to serve their own interests,
stifling the monarch's correct judgment.
We can't allow this state of affairs to continue.
Your Majesty, it's still not the time yet.
It's not the time yet?
Yes.
So, when the time comes, can we abolish the Council?
For Baekje's sake, and to strengthen the royal power, it is necessary to abolish the Council.
You know my intentions better than anyone else.
So, after I complete that, what else should I do?
Kill Gim Chun Chu.
Since the Council has already decided, how can I do so?
As long as we don't give the noblemen a reason to protest, that should do.
If there's no proof, what can they do?
Do you have any ideas?
Your Majesty, have I ever let you walk down a cul-de-sac before?
The fox that was caught has escaped.
Yes, he'll be going back to Tang with Jang Son soon.
Perhaps.
Her highness and His Majesty are not ordinary people.
From the outset they have made up their minds.
Do you think they will give up?
They definitely have some other plan up their sleeve.
They will not ignore the views of the Ministers.
Looks like you still don't believe me.
His Majesty and Her Highness are not like you.
Will Gim Chun Chu be safe?
There can be no mistakes.
Yes.
After inhaling the toxic aroma from Champa for half a day, the body will gradually weaken.
Finally, one will stop breathing.
-=Champa: present day Vietnam=- Finally, one will stop breathing.
-=Champa: present day Vietnam=- There will be no signs of external injury.
By daybreak, Gim Chun Chu won't be able to wake up from his sleep.
General, do you smell something strange?
What kind of strange smell?
I seem to have some recollection of it, but can't recall at the moment.
This is fatal toxic fragrance!
Gim Chun Chu. Gim Chun Chu!
Get up Gim Chun Chu!
General, there was a poisonous fragrance mixed with the incense.
Quickly, call for the physician quietly.
Yes.
Your Highness, General Gye Baek is here.
General, what's the matter?
What is this?
Is it yours or not?
What do you mean, is it mine or not?
Gim Chun Chu's residence had this poisonous fragrance.
Is that so? How is Chun Chu Gong?
Tell her.
Hurry up.
It's a poisonous fragrance from Champa.
Do you have any trade dealings with Champa now?
No.
What about before?
I'm sorry, General.
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
You can leave now.
What were you thinking?
I have dealt with them in the past,
but I've sold this poisonous fragrance to many people.
How can I remember all those who purchased the goods?
Is that so? I understand.
Someone wants to harm Chun Chu Gong, I must reinforce the security.
General.
General, you should stop interfering in this matter.
I can't do that.
He's someone who deserves to die.
The Council has already made a decision not to kill him.
I will take my leave.
General.
This is not advice, but a warning.
Why are you not listening to me?
Didn't I tell you, all this is for your sake, General?
Then, let me tell you clearly as well.
Don't do anything for me,
and don't be obsessed with the past anymore.
General!
As long as it's for the people of this country, then one is working for Baekje.
General, hearing you say that, I want Gim Chun Chu to die all the more!
Eun Go, agassi. (Agassi - young lady)
I don't know,
why you're acting like this.
I'm begging you, please return to the Eun Go agassi that I used to know.
I've not heard that name in a long time.
But do you know?
The Eun Go that you used to know, is no longer in Baekje.
She was killed by someone she trusted, and died a long time ago.
This fragrance has nothing to do with me, I will enquire into the matter further.
It must be the work of a Baekje subject who's angry with him.
Is it Gye Baek again?
I'm sorry. We just needed another hour and we would have succeeded.
Gye Baek keeps obstructing my matters.
There has been a change.
I'm sorry.
But don't you think it's strange?
It's like Gye Baek seems to know everything, and went to Gim Chun Chu's residence.
I wonder who could be warning him?
This could just be incidental.
Do you think so? Even if it's incidental, it's still amazing.
Your Majesty, don't you believe me?
What do you think?
Don't believe... didn't those words come from your own mouth?
Do you remember?
Then let me tell you honestly,
I did that agreement with you because I wanted to live,
but you'll only own my body.
So, are you saying that your heart will forever remain with Gye Baek?
Your Majesty, Gye Baek and I are both your followers.
Please believe in our loyalty.
My mother said to me before,
that I shouldn't even trust my father.
Those were my mother's last words.
And that father told me I'm different from an ordinary person.
The tenets of monarchy.
Therefore, a person like me, how am I to trust those people around me?
If you want to believe my words then do so.
If you can't believe them, then just cast them aside.
We have failed once, but the next time we'll not fail again.
I will ensure your Majesty's wish is fulfilled.
-=Sasin: Gim Chun Chu's residence =-
You'll be fine after a couple of more days.
Thank you!
I'm here to take you away.
You're late.
Who's there?
Your Majesty, Gim Chun Chu has escaped!
Escaped?
Some assassins came, killed the soldiers and took Gim Chun Chu away.
Escaped?
Yes.
Seems like Silla assassins.
This is a good thing.
If he's here, we don't know when he'll be killed.
This is not all it seems.
Chase after them quickly and then report back to me.
Yes.
Did His Majesty ask you to come and look for me?
Yes, General.
Gim Chun Chu has escaped. Do you know that?
Yes, most probably they're people from Silla.
It wasn't you who allowed him to escape?
I know that's what you're thinking.
Then it's not?
The one who all along objected to him being put to death, was is not you?
I'm against killing him at present.
I think he should be punished for the crime he committed here.
I also know Gim Chun Chu is a very dangerous person.
How could I have released him?
If you were not the one who released him, then you should go and recapture him.
If he's to be killed, I'll be the one to do it.
If he's to be released, I'll be the one to do it too.
I say, when did he leave?
Which way are we heading?
General.
Did you find out?
I found the horses' hoofprints.
Really, just by looking at the hoofprints, you can tell whether it's Silla's or Baekje's?
You saw the width of the hoofprints?
That's right.
Width. What does that mean?
Looking at the width,
although the disparity is very small, the one on this side is smaller.
The horse has no rider.
So, on that side,
it can't be Silla's.
Daeha City.
Gim Chun Chu has gone there.
Let's get him.
General.
Are we not going in the wrong direction?
Even if we have to climb over mountains and pass through ridges,
we have to catch them.
Let's go, quickly.
Faster.
Gim Chun Chu.
You can't run any further.
Leave it to me.
Hyeong. (Hyeong - older brother)
Who are you calling hyeong?
I don't have any brothers.
Where do you think you're going?
Move aside!
He's a Silla subject.
You can't. I'm also a Silla subject.
I didn't want to live on the same piece of land as you. That's why I went to Silla.
If you want to die, then come.
Everything has ended now.
Unless you kill me, I won't let you.
Gim Yu Sin.
Wild Wolf, we haven't met in a long time.
When I heard you were Gye Baek, I was taken by surprise.
But only you are capable of capturing so many cities.
Why are you in Baekje?
General, I've brought Lord Gim.
You have worked hard, Mun Geun.
Just leave everything here to me. You can go home now.
Thank you, General.
Tell Ui Ja,
I won't forget his magnanimity.
Gye Baek,
it was because my attention was focused on warding off Goguryeo, that you were able to capture so many cities.
I will take them back, one by one.
That would be great!
Because Silla has no able General, I didn't even unsheath my sword,
but if it was you, then I'd have someone to fight with.
Fine!
I too want to have a fight with you,
Gye Baek.
But today's not the right time.
Do you think you can, alone, defend yourself against so many people?
I came to save Chun Chu today.
Victory or defeat, will be decided on the battlefield.
Finally, you still let Gim Chun Chu go.
Gim Yu Sin brought an army of 10 000.
Do you think that makes sense?
How did 10 000 soldiers enter Baekje so quietly?
Your Majesty.
I can't believe that too,
but it's a fact.
And furthermore, there were soldiers of distinction.
What General Gye Baek said is the truth, Your Majesty.
The reason why Silla dared to launch a rescue mission, was because they had security back-up.
If they weren't confident they could get him home alive,
their rescue mission would only cause Gim Chun Chu's death.
Gim Chun Chu took the risk because he must have known there were security forces waiting.
Gim Chun Chu, Gim Yu Sin.
They are truly in-laws.
Your Majesty.
I've an urgent report.
What is it?
The cities that were captured by General Gye Baek, 4 of them have been seized by Gim Yu Sin.
Seized. What are you saying?
And also,
Silla's Gim Yu Sin,
has stationed his army outside Gajamseong City and Daeha City and has also sent reinforcements to Gajamseong City.
Gim Chun Chu.
That fox who hid himself in Daeha City, did what he did because of this?
Your Majesty.
All this happened because General Gye Baek was not at the battlefield.
We must send General Gye Baek there as soon as possible to defend our territory.
If we were to lose Gajamseong City, it'll be difficult for us to regain sovereignty.
Your presence here is a problem, so is your absence.
Why are you not leaving for Gajamseong City immediately?
I don't intend to go to Gajamseong City.
Is it because of His Majesty?
No, it is not.
I think it's here.
This is Daeha City.
Gim Chun Chu of Daeha City has sent his troops to Gajamseong City,
therefore now is the best time to attack Daeha City.
Pretending to put down the knife but then stabbing them in the back,
that's very bold but also very dangerous.
Daeha City is very near to Silla.
If we don't do it well, then we'll be surrounded by the enemy.
As long as we can capture Daeha City, then the surrounding territory will become ours.
Can you do it?
Not trying to defend Gajamseong City, but to attack Daeha City?
Since the enemy is focusing their attention on Gajamseong City, wouldn't this be a great opportunity?
We'll pretend to leave to defend Gajamseong City, but will turn around and attack Daeha City.
If we can capture Daeha City that would be our biggest victory.
This victory would be bigger than Gajamseong City.
If that is the case,
we can then clamp down the main military forces of Silla.
Even without the aid of Goguryeo, we'll still be able to attack Silla.
Please give us your permission to attack Daeha City.
Silla has seized four of our cities.
Furthermore, their army is already stationed outside our Gajamseong City.
I will at this time attack Daeha City.
Your Majesty.
Not thinking of defending Gajamseong City, but attacking Daeha City?
The enemy will think we're going to defend Gajamseong City.
Daeha City's troops will not be able to guess our plan.
When they encouter our troops, they will be in a confused state.
Furthermore, I will be leading our troops to Daeha City personally.
We must use Gye Baek's plan.
The vanguard will be General Gye Baek.
The left and the right will be led by General Ui Jik and General Eun Sang.
Prepare the army immediately.
We'll be making our move in 3 days time.
Your Majesty, if Your Majesty were to go personally, the enemy will be terrified.
-= Silla territory, Daeha City =-
Father-in-law, you almost met with death.
Yes, I was also very worried.
-= Bong Seok: Go Dap So's husband. Go Dap So: Gim Chun Chu's daughter. =- Yes, I was also very worried.
Don't do such a dangerous thing from now on.
The security of our country is foremost, how could I just worry about my own safety?
Bong Seok.
Yes.
Although Gajamseong City is now a battlefield,
Baekje will certainly be launching an attack here.
If they succeed in their attack here, then our capital is just in front.
No matter what happens, you must defend this place.
Yes.
Ui Ja is a suspicious and crafty person. You must be careful.
And also,
you cannot underestimate General Gye Baek.
Yes, father-in-law.
After you leave for home, I wonder when we can meet again?
The both of you will be home when your term here ends.
The next time we meet, you must bring along a grandson for me.
Be careful on your journey.
We'll meet again in the capital city.
I thought His Majesty wouldn't want to see me again.
What happened?
His Majesty still believes in you, he trusts your capability.
That will be fine.
You had better be careful too.
We have made His Majesty unhappy because of Gim Chun Chu's matter.
I have my spy in Daeha City. If he can do something for me, that'll be good.
His Majesty is looking for you, General.
You were looking for me, Your Majesty.
Yes.
After such a long time,
it feels good to be going along with you.
When was it that we were battling together in Gajamseong City?
That was more than 10 years ago.
Yes.
That time when I met you, whom I thought was dead,
at that moment I thought you were going to kill me.
Thinking about it, there were many times when you have pointed a knife at me.
Have you ever regretted not slitting my throat back then?
If you had done that,
then Eun Go would be at your side.
Your Majesty, I have already forgotten the past.
Since we're travelling to the front line together,
I'm reminded of the past and just made some passing remark.
Don't take those words to heart.
What are you talking about?
Baekje's army is already outside our city walls?
Didn't they say that Baekje's army was headed towards Gajamseong City?
The Baekje army that's outside our city walls now, is led by King Ui Ja.
Quickly tell all the troops to get ready to defend the city.
Yes.
Will everything be fine, General?
Have you been well?
Once we are over the cloudy past, there are only sunny days to be ushered in.
That is true.
But if it was me, if I see a cloudy day,
I will be scared that it will rain and will try to avoid it.
If not, then not only oneself,
but those whom one cherishes the most, will be affected.
What's the good news,
that you seem so pleased.
I met the Queen on my way here.
The Queen?
Because of the matter with Gim Chun Chu, she has been left out in the cold.
She's practically dying at death's door.
It's all due to Your Highness' scheme.
Once we've captured Daeha City,
and when His Majesty returns,
we must settle the issue of succession.
We must strike while the iron is hot.
Is there any news from His Majesty?
They're estimating that they will reach Daeha City today.
Is General Gye Baek the vanguard?
Yes.
Why must he always take the lead in dangerous matters?
Your Highness, don't just stay here.
Come with me to Gajamseong City.
If we go and show our support to His Majesty,
he'll welcome us with a joyous heart.
You have worked hard.
You must be very thirsty. Have a drink.
We've attacked them for three days now and have not succeeded,
I don't deserve to drink this wine.
The enemy's resistance is strong.
If things continue like this, our losses will get much greater.
Is there any news of the enemy's reinforcements?
Although we have yet to see it,
this has always been Silla's territory.
Your Majesty, let me take on the responsibility of the vanguard tomorrow.
General Gye Baek has been combating continuously for three days now.
He needs to rest.
Please consent to my suggestion.
I'm fine, Your Majesty.
I'll continue to take charge of our army's attacks.
General.
Don't worry, General Eun Sang.
Neither of you need to worry.
Tomorrow, naedu jwapyeong will take over as vanguard of our forces.
Are you saying it'll be naedu jwapyeong?
Welcome.
Have you perhaps found the person I was looking for?
Yes, I have.
It has to be that way.
No matter how successful a person is, there is always room for dissatisfaction.
There must surely be a person who's dissatisfied with Governor Han O Seong, how can there be none?
Who is that person?
Welcome.
I'm Gu Mil.
He's one of the guards in Daeha City.
It's nice to meet you.
I am Heung Su.
I heard you had a painful past.
The pain he had to go through when his fiancee was snatched away by the governor.
Han O Seong, isn't he one of Gim Chun Chu's men?
The more a person has, the more extreme will be his behaviour.
If the governor had been a good man,
I would have just buried my feelings deep in my heart.
But just two months later, she committed suicide.
And also, for the past few years.
I've been waiting for an opportunity to take my revenge.
You must revenge her death. If you don't do so
how can your fiancee rest in peace?
I'm going to die, going to die, my back hurts as well.
My leg too. I don't know whether it's fractured.
All of you are bullying me, bullying me.
Looks like my back has become useless.
General, I'm supposed to be in charge of rations,
I don't know why I must come to the battlefield and do this.
Cho Yeong, are you fine with it?
Tomorrow you have to withdraw from the vanguard position.
I don't want to, General.
If you continue, if you were to get injured,
how can I face Her Highness?
Even so, I'm still unwilling.
I want to be at your side, General.
I am really in pain. Why are the both of you beating me at the same time?
I am going mad, my back seems like it has become useless.
It's painful!
Aigoo, he's a great pretender. (Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)
Didn't you hurt it when you were escaping?
Fine, I hurt it when I was escaping.
Were you looking at me when you were fighting?
Why are you glaring at me?
You're really laughable, this rascal!
General.
Our Majesty is really too much.
No matter what, how could he order us
to be the vanguard for 3 consecutive days.
What if he were to lose precious people like us?
Aigoo, my back hurts.
Keep quiet, what treacherous words are those?
Gye Baek!
Now, what's left is for you to perform your meritorious deed.
Let's go and see His Majesty.
Tonight after the moon appears, a person by the name of Gu Mil will set fire to the granary.
His followers will then open the city gates.
So, the vanguard will just have to conceal themselves around the city.
We just have to enter when the fire is ignited.
When the vanguard rush in, this will shake the morale of their soldiers.
When our main forces enter, we'll be able to capture Daeha City.
Your Majesty, your servant is going to go and get ready for battle.
Wait.
Today's vanguard,
let General Eun Sang take up that position.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, today I want to capture Daeha City,
as a gift to Your Majesty.
I've decided, Gye Baek, you have worked too hard.
My heart feels sorry.
Tonight's battle, you take charge of the reinforcements,
and monitor the enemy's reinforcement troops.
General Eun Sang will hold the position of vanguard.
General Ui Jik will be in charge of the main force.
But Your Majesty,
Your Majesty.
As for the reinforcements, I'll be relying on you.
The General is here.
I heard we'll be doing a night raid tonight.
We'll make sure we batter those Silla villains.
What batter? Batter... We'll probably be battered.
True, those are just the words of a child.
Tonight, we'll be in charge of reinforcements.
What?
We have to monitor the enemy's reinforcements when they arrive.
How can this happen?
Up until now, we've risked everything in battling the enemy.
This is really good news.
Hey, Dok Gae.
Let's prepare to move to the rear.
This is really a good piece of news.
In charge of reinforcements.
You are having a good life.
To meet a General who committed mistakes and soldiers who had to suffer.
Your life has changed for the better.
This may turn out to be better.
Don't be too disappointed.
I heard there's supposed to be a night raid.
What are you doing at the rear?
I was the vanguard for 3 consecutive days,
and our losses were not small.
His Majesty is thinking about our welfare,
and now we're the reinforcement.
That may be a good thing, General.
Jwapyeong, Sir. Why are you laughing?
I said the same thing to General Gye Baek just a few minutes ago.
Hurry up and go in.
Yesterday, they set fire to the city, and the gates opened.
I heard the attack was a success.
So alike.
The person who once rocked Baekje, Queen Sa Taek.
She is indeed the same.
Don't say those words.
Her Highness seems to have her own troubles.
What could trouble her?
After Gim Chun Chu's matter,
she has His Majesty's heart, and is now in control of the aristocracy.
What problems could she have?
Hyeongnim, you don't know.
I've not heard that name in a long time.
But do you know?
The Eun Go that you used to know,
is no longer in Baekje.
Agassi!
She was killed by someone she trusted,
and died a long time ago.
What? Her Highness, the Royal Consort said such words?
So, Royal Consort Eun Go knows of it too.
What are you saying?
Know about what?
Nothing, it was nothing.
Hyeongnim.
General.
His Majesty has captured Daeha City.
So fast?
The city governor surrendered a short while ago.
Our army didn't sustain any major losses?
But...
there's a problem.
What is it? Tell me.
Your Majesty, please spare my life.
If I were to spare your life, will you become a Baekje soldier?
Yes, I will become a Baekje soldier.
For Your Majesty, I will give my all.
Good.
But Baekje doesn't need men in your position.
Drag him out and behead him.
Yes.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare me!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, congratulations to you for capturing Daeha City.
But to accept the soldiers who have surrendered to be our subjects is only proper.
How can we trust them and accept them as subjects of Baekje?
Your Majesty, we have already killed dozens of Silla's military officers.
Those who have chosen to surrender...
Will be killed also.
Then all of Silla's military officers and foot soldiers.
We have to kill everyone.
That way, in future, if the Silla forces were to meet our Baekje forces,
only then will they be fearful.
And furthermore, for the grievances suffered by the late king,
and to take revenge for my grandfather,
the Lord of the city, Gim Bong Seok, and his wife,
will be beheaded.
How can you do this?
Didn't we say before if they surrender they will be forgiven?
As the monarch of a country, you must comply with the agreement.
Your Majesty, our senior officials did make such an agreement with the Lord of the City.
I did not make such an agreement.
Your Majesty. They are Gim Chun Chu's son-in-law and daughter.
Gim Chun Chu was scheming against me and Baekje.
He interfered with matters that were out of his authority.
Does it make sense to stop me executing them?
Behead the City Lord and Gim Chun Chu's daughter immediately.
Fine. Kill me.
General, don't beg for his forgiveness anymore.
Father will certainly,
will definitely take revenge.
You are showing your mettle.
Indeed, you have proved that you're Gim Chun Chu's daughter.
Even though it's a pity,
but your crime is just this.
Your crime is to have the wrong father.
Execute.
Yes.
Please stop.
Your Majesty, how can you do this?
There's no precedent of executing an enemy who has surrendered.
Didn't General Eun Sang make an agreement that if they surrendered we will spare their lives?
What kind of promise can you make on the battlefield?
There are only lies and deception, to live or die.
You should know better than that.
Your Majesty, your servant has never done that.
Trust must not only be limited to our own forces,
we must extend the same trust to the enemy soldiers as well.
If this is broken,
not only in war,
this will only cause continuous bloodshed.
A war based on trust.
Do you believe there's such a war?
War, as a whole, is just a deception.
Your Majesty!
Are you trying to teach me now?
You execute them personally.
It's a royal command.
Hurry up and take the sword.
Deok Sol Gye Baek.
It's a capital offense to go against an order in a war.
Why are you still not taking the sword?
Your servant Gye Baek,
Your Majesty's command,
I cannot accept it.

Whoever dares to defy a royal command, arrest him immediately!
It's no longer necessary to guard this structure anymore.
I, Ui Ja will show you.
Without Gye Baek, Ui Ja can still do it. I will show you.
When His Majesty was on his journey to attack Silla,
he went missing on the way.
Are you saying His Majesty could be dead?
Now General Gye Baek
is holding the military power of Baekje in his hands.
He has been elevated to Great General.
Up until now, I've been well.
Now it's impossible for you to leave His Majesty.
Do you know what His Majesty did to both of us?
To make the Mok clan guilty of the crime was His Majesty's plan.
If His Majesty were to wake up,
I will definitely tell him.
Agassi!
Don't ever call me that again.
