Your Highness!
She won't have any regrets because she wanted to save you.
It's a blessing to die for a child than losing a child.
This isn't right.
I lost Dammang and Damju.
Mother was sacrificed because of me.
How am I to carry all this?
Live.
Live for the people who sacrificed everything for you.
Live a more diligent life and rule wisely.
Mother, I couldn't protect you because I was lacking.
I will make up for it by protecting all the people of our country.
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
What do the traitors have to say?
What can a loser say?
Kill me now.
Our places have been switched, but I have no regrets.
How dare you utter such thoughtless words?
The difference between a traitor and a loyal servant is a thin line.
The only difference is who is in the position of giving an order.
The winner is a loyal servant and the loser is a traitor.
Are you saying you're a loyal servant?
It wasn't done out of personal greed.
If we were the winners, we wouldn't have had people commit treason.
It just goes to show how incapable the court is.
I will remember that.
I will never let traitors like you run wild in this country.
If what we did helped you grow, that is satisfactory.
Crown prince, become a strong kin and make Goguryeo strong.
I just...
I didn't expect you to side with the traitors.
Please spare my life.
I...
The person to hold you responsible should be your son.
He knew what is right and what is wrong.
Are you going to beg for your life in front of a son like that?
I was so wrong.
Please end everything with me.
I will promise that.
Carry out the execution.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir!
Hang up their heads at the market.
Show everyone what happens to traitors, so this never happens again.
Yes, crown prince.
Crown prince.
The traitors have all been taken care of.
Good job.
Are all of you alright?
- Yes, crown prince. - Yes, crown prince.
The traitors have been taken care of, but the isn't completely over.
The children of the traitors hold important positions at the fortresses.
They have to be taken care of for all this to be over.
I said I wouldn't punish those who weren't directly involved.
You have to do what's necessary.
It's for your sake and the sake of Goguryeo's future.
He is right.
This is why you don't take in wild animals.
So, am I to kill Yeon Salta?
Am I to kill Ko Un and my wife who I don't even know is dead or alive?
I can understand how you feel, but those are personal emotions.
You are leading the court in His Majesty's place.
You have to separate your emotions and handle this matter.
I'll think about what the right thing to do is.
You can go now.
- Yes, crown prince. - Yes, crown prince.
Father.
Father...
How...
Why...
Father...
Master.
Ko Un.
Who's there?
These are traitors.
Stand back.
Father.
We have to go, soldiers will come soon.
Father...
Master.
Who told you to tie them up?
Crown prince.
I'm sorry, but they...
Untie them.
Ko Un is my servant.
Untie him right now!
You killed my father.
As long as I remember that, I can't be your servant.
If you don't kill me now, you will regret it someday.
Ko Un!
You must not let him so.
Did you forget why Her Highness died?
He is the son of a traitor.
He will take revenge.
You have to kill him now.
That's right.
He will cause trouble in the future.
Not only for you, but also for Goguryeo.
You want me to kill my closest friend?
I might become a traitor who tried to kill you.
Will you still spare my life?
Be a traitor then because I will forgive you again.
Seokgae.
Yes, crown prince.
Untie him.
What?
Right now!
Yes, crown prince.
We did well, right?
Yes.
We should get a reward.
Watch what you say.
We have to be careful.
Jang!
Now what?
Come on, hurry.
Good, it's you.
Let me in.
Stop!
You know me, Oh Jang.
I have to see officer Yeo Seokgae. We're in trouble.
Where is officer Yeo Seokgae?
What do you want with him at this late hour?
There's something I have to tell him.
What is that?
Are you conscious?
Yakyeon.
Yes, it's me.
I'm so glad you're alright.
Was my father never able to give up on his ambitions?
The crown prince...
Is he alright?
Yes, he's alright.
That's good.
You shouldn't get up.
I have to get up and be punished for being a traitor's daughter.
No.
You're in no condition.
You lost your baby.
A doctor was here.
The shock...
Lady Yakyeon.
Nobody must know she is here.
Get her some porridge.
I will send medicine through Danbi.
Okay, but if anyone finds out...
I'll take full responsibility. Just do as I say.
We could lose our lives.
That won't happen if you keep quiet.
Did you find out?
There isn't any news yet.
What will you do if we don't find her?
Doyeong said this before.
Wherever I am, as long as you're by my side, that is my country, Goguryeo.
It means trust and faith are important in any situation.
I agree with her.
She is alive somewhere.
We will meet again.
I believe that.
You are by my side right now,
but there is a land and person you miss all the time.
Stop.
They might kill him.
There wouldn't be a need to save him if he was going to die that easily.
But if...
Just wait.
We have to wait until it's a more critical situation.
Master! Master!
Ko Un!
What are you doing?
We're...
General.
What are you doing?
General!
I told you.
You have no place in Goguryeo anymore.
Damdeok sent these men.
He wouldn't do that.
He ordered them to spare my life.
Wake up!
I thought you were a smart man.
He was just being generous in front of the others.
That's the way to gain loyalty.
But this is the real Damdeok.
No. I'll talk to him.
You still don't believe me. Those can't be the only men he sent.
He sent Cheongun.
Not other soldiers, but Cheongun, his army.
Who knows where else they are waiting for you?
The crown prince...
Damdeok. Damdeok.
- Master! - - Ko Un!
Why did you save me?
We are of enemy nations.
Listen.
I think you're wrong.
The Goguryeo you were loyal to no longer exists.
Not for you anyway.
What do you want from me?
Why did you help me?
Did I tell you where I was from?
I'm not of the Xianbei people led by the Murong clan.
I'm of the Han people.
I have great ambitions and I need talented people like you.
Help me.
If you help me, I promise to help you take revenge against Damdeok.
You should get revenge for your father who died with a grudge.
Damdeok treated you like a friend, but tried to kill you.
He's such a hypocrite. You should take revenge.
I will help you.
Give me some time to think.
Sure, but you should think on the move.
There might be other soldiers.
Let's go.
- Hurry. - Yes, sir!
Hurry!
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Your Majesty, Damdeok suppressed the situation.
That was really fast.
I'm surprised.
The problem begins now.
We have to see what direction he will take.
He has ill feelings for us. Don't give him any space.
Strengthen the border areas.
Be sure to watch the Goguryeo princess well.
The Goguryeo princess?
We'll lose any advantage we have over Goguryeo if she escapes.
She must not find out that her mother is dead.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We have to strengthen our connections with Baekje, too.
We shouldn't be the only ones to be prepared.
That's right.
Increasing our enemies won't do us any good.
We should solve our problems through friendly relations.
Work on strengthening diplomatic relations with Baekje.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Princess.
Have a seat.
I've been busy with national affairs.
How are you?
Fine.
You were curious about Goguryeo.
You didn't send a messenger?
No.
Tell me.
Crown prince Damdeok suppressed the traitors.
Really?
My brother suppressed them?
Yes.
That's very fortunate.
Is there anything else?
No.
The queen of Goguryeo is dead.
I'm sorry.
I can't tell you that.
Gungnaeseong palace
The crown prince and ministers will listen.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I am abdicating the throne to crown prince Damdeok as of today.
You can't do that, Your Majesty.
You are still the king of Goguryeo.
This happened because I didn't manage the court well.
Gae Yeonsu started a rebellion and the queen died.
That wasn't your fault.
It's...
There is no excuse for it.
I am abdicating the throne to the crown prince and stepping down.
Your Majesty, please reconsider.
You can't do that, Your Majesty.
I've already made my decision.
Do you intend to disobey me?
Crown prince, Goguryeo demands your era now.
Everything is up to you now.
Damdeok, don't be an incapable king who can't even protect his family.
Father, don't say that.
You overcame all the difficulties and will have to do so in the future.
There is no time.
Be strong and stand in front of me.
Resolve to lead Goguryeo.
What brings you here?
I was going to call for you.
You were?
Yes.
Ko Chang hasn't been coming to court.
Is something wrong?
He's still upset about Jin's death.
That's too bad.
I hope he can get back on track soon.
Is there something else?
I heard His Majesty gave a royal order.
How about accepting the order for his sake and yours?
Why do you say that?
You should...
I would like you to be in the position to be able to protect what you have to.
What I have to protect?
Yes, embracing the people and a criminal despite opposition.
I would like you to be in a position to do that.
I guess you have your reasons.
I'm still thinking about it.
Crown prince, His Majesty is right.
But I'm not ready yet and His Majesty is...
His illness isn't the problem.
What's most important is that he doesn't have the will to lead the court.
But, commander...
You must hurry.
The traitors were killed, but there are many fortress lords.
Quite a few of them are still on Gae Yeonsu's side.
That's not all.
Baekje is looking for a chance to attack Goguryeo.
In the north, Houyan, Mohe and even Khitan want revenge.
You must take the throne soon and achieve stability in the court.
We will do our best to support you.
Doing what His Majesty wants is fulfilling your filial duty.
You must take the throne.
You have to take the first step to achieve the great dream you told us about.
You want the flag of Goguryeo to flutter in the vast plains.
We are ready to support you in achieving that great dream.
All of us are ready, crown prince.
It's for the country and for everyone.
It's also for the future of Goguryeo.
It's for Goguryeo to no longer be tormented by neighboring countries.
We will give everything we have to support you.
I will take His Majesty's place and become the 19th king of Goguryeo.
I will rule Goguryeo.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
