It's been a long time, Damdeok.
Batar, you still haven't come to your senses?
I will repay you for everything.
I endured much humiliation to kill you with my own hands.
Attack!
Your Majesty.
Retreat!
- Retreat! - Retreat!
This is an opportunity from the heavens.
Attack!
Shoot arrows!
How can this be?
Batar.
Did you think I wouldn't know about your ploy?
How...
Why is the Biryeo chief attacking me?
It's the rage you caused.
What?
Now do you know what you did wrong?
Do you realize you went against your brother's will?
I lose.
Kill me.
I won't kill you so easily.
I will decide what to do with you after I gain much more.
If you lower your weapons, I will spare your lives.
Lower your weapons!
Your Majesty.
Agban, you traitor.
- Chief. - Chief.
Please change your mind.
What?
The people of Biryeo are living peaceful lives since submitting to Goguryeo.
They are praising the king of Goguryeo.
The people don't care who the king or the chief is.
They just have to live peaceful lives without being hungry.
As the chief, you didn't even understand that simple mind.
General Hwang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
They are soldiers of Houyan.
Interrogate them and find out which units they belong to.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Hurry.
We're going to the Houyan palace.
Yes, sir.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Why did you return alone? Where is Batar?
What about Damdeok?
Your Majesty, our plan failed.
Give us the details.
Reinforcements came from Biryeo.
What?
We cut off all messengers.
We did, Your Majesty.
I don't know what happened.
You fools!
Your Majesty, the king of Goguryeo is headed to the palace.
How did Houyan become such a shameful nation?
How dare you?
Watch what you're saying!
You tried to kill the king of Goguryeo who came to pay condolence.
How can you be so brazen?
Do you have proof that we tried to kill the king of Goguryeo?
He is the chief of Biryeo.
You want to play innocent?
General Hwang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
150 soldiers under Bang Shanwu of Hanbocheng.
100 cavalry soldiers including Ya Xuzheng.
200 soldiers under Hai Siwu of Liuancheng.
300 soldiers under general Fengba.
Stop!
That's enough.
Your Majesty.
I will wait for an answer at the envoys' quarters.
Lock them up in prison right now.
Wait!
We will watch them since you might try to eliminate proof.
Fine.
Let's go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Envoys' quarters, Houyan palace
Your Majesty, I'm glad you're alright.
We overcame a crisis thanks to you.
I just did my job, Your Majesty
You can't let this go.
That's right.
Houyan should pay for all its brazen actions.
You must point out this matter.
If you're too forceful, there could be a negative effect.
We are in the middle of enemy territory.
We don't know what Houyan will plot.
Just keep them tied down for now.
Keep them tied down?
Murong Bao has become the emperor. He will want to exert his authority.
He will want unity internally and externally, he will want to show Houyan's power.
You mean he could start a way?
That's what I'm worried about.
Murong Bao's office
You suffered a lot.
It has been proven that I am not the spy.
I have regained your trust. I'm happy with that.
You are partially responsible for the cause of all this.
All your schemes failed and Houyan is in a bind.
I'm sorry, but it's more urgent to come up with a measure now.
Is there a measure for this situation?
Yes, Your Majesty.
You should catch the spy, but there isn't enough time.
Right now, give the king of Goguryeo what he wants and cover this up.
He shouldn't be able to ask much because of your wife.
That is the only way.
Release him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What do you want?
Houyan's loyalty.
Houyan's loyalty?
I want a promise that Houyan won't attack Goguryeo or
any of Goguryeo's alliances for 3 years.
And have all Houyan soldiers at the border retreat 200km.
This is to prevent any military collision between Houyan and Goguryeo.
Do you expect me to do that?
You have to.
It's a small price to pay for trying to murder me.
Give me some time to think about it.
Fine.
What are you doing? What did you do?
Please calm down.
How can you tell me to calm down?
Your Majesty, you will have to give the king of Goguryeo a royal writ.
A royal writ?
Houyan is in no situation to fight right now.
This is a ploy for Goguryeo to buy time to gain strength.
But we need that time, too.
Your Majesty, I don't agree.
We can't be humiliated like this.
That's right, Your Majesty.
We have to come up with a way to refuse this proposal.
What way?
You're the one who accused Murong Un of being a spy in the first place.
Your Majesty.
I know what you planned.
I forgave you and embraced you.
Is all this your doing?
No, Your Majesty.
I was just trying to lessen your burden.
How could I dare do such a thing?
Find out who leaked the secrets.
Find the spy.
If you can't find the spy,
I will see you as the spy and hold you responsible for everything.
Murong Xi's office
How can he be suspicious of me?
Please calm down.
How can I calm down?
I'm going to be blamed for everything if I can't find the spy.
You don't have to be so concerned.
What do you mean?
Are you kidding?
We just have to find the real spy.
Anyone can say that.
Prince, I have someone in mind.
Who is that?
His Majesty's wife.
His Majesty's wife?
The princess of Goguryeo?
Yes, prince.
Do you want me to die?
His Majesty loves her.
If we accuse her, I will die and so will you.
The king of Goguryeo will be furious, too.
She's the only person who can leak our secrets.
Who else can roam about the palace at will?
If we find proof that she is the spy, there is nothing Goguryeo can do.
How will you catch the spy?
That is the problem.
It's difficult. But we just have to create proof.
Prince, what are you going to do?
Prince Murong Xi and Fengba seem to be up to something to find the spy.
Do you have any ideas?
Shouldn't you talk to His Majesty?
Why are you so anxious?
I'm not anxious. I just don't want you to be in a bind.
They're still suspicious of me, so we'll just have to watch for a while.
If prince Murong Xi and Fengba find the spy,
Houyan will have leverage to negotiate with Goguryeo.
Your Majesty.
Murong Bao's office
What is it?
I have our father's will deeply engraved in my heart.
I was never disloyal to you.
Your words stabbed my heart.
There was nothing I could do.
Please don't have any misunderstandings.
I want to be fully loyal to you.
Then find the real spy.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Just give me a few days.
Are you confident?
Yes, Your Majesty.
This should clear up any suspicions you have of me.
Okay, I will trust you one last time.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Will you go to the shrine with me as a sign of your trust?
The shrine?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I think father would give me an idea if we burned incense at his shrine.
Okay, let's go.
Damju's quarters
His Majesty did?
Why?
Envoys' quarters, Houyan palace We're in trouble.
Princess.
Damju, what is it?
Houyan is planning to kill all the migrants at Tongmancheng and Canyuecheng
after you return to Goguryeo.
What?
That's not all.
Houyan is planning to form alliances with Beiwei, Dongjin and Baekje.
They're so evil.
Where did you hear about this?
I went to see His Majesty and there was a letter on the table.
They were letters he exchanged with fortress lords.
This is proof that Houyan is in rage against Goguryeo.
The migrants' village in Zhongsan is in danger, too, then.
Those migrants were guaranteed safety,
so they are killing migrants of other fortresses.
They are so cruel.
What do you think?
Well, you know Houyan's rage better than anyone.
It's perfectly possible.
Your Majesty.
Did you find the spy?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell me.
Who is the spy?
It is your wife.
What are you talking about?
My wife is the spy?
I'm sorry, but we set a trap to find the spy.
Give me the details.
We left a false letter that we would kill all the migrants in Houyan.
We left it so she could see it.
And?
She left your office and headed straight to the envoys' quarters.
If she told the king of Goguryeo, there will be a response shortly.
The king of Goguryeo will have revealed the spy.
My wife?
My wife is the spy?
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
3 years of peace as you wished.
That all depends on whether you keep your part.
It will be a time to see if Houyan keeps its promises.
What?
Don't express your rage on Goguryeo migrants and don't cross the border.
You wanted me to promise that we wouldn't attack Goguryeo or any of its alliances.
You also wanted our soldiers to retreat 200km from the border.
Why are you suddenly mentioning the migrants?
The Magocheng matter has been settled.
Any further problems will be settled according to Houyan laws.
Goguryeo migrants don't just live in Magocheng.
They also live in Tongmancheng and Canyuecheng.
I'm just worried about them from your past actions.
You want the rights and safety of those migrants guaranteed, too?
That's right.
I never promised anything regarding them.
I can't guarantee what will happen to them as of right now.
You've got rats in our palace.
I'm not sure why I have to show Houyan's loyalty to Goguryeo.
What are you talking about?
Princess.
Damju's quarters Princess.
What brings you here?
You did something very foolish.
You've been here for years and you had His Majesty's son.
Why did you act so hastily?
What made you so anxious to do something so dangerous?
Are you interrogating me?
You want me arrested by saying what you want to hear?
I'm not trying to interrogate you.
I just don't want someone to be sacrificed for Goguryeo.
The only price for protecting Goguryeo is a lonely and painful life in a foreign country.
There's more to it.
The pride and honor of being a Goguryeo citizen.
And the future of the Goguryeo people.
You are suffering since you abandoned that.
I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.
That's not worth more than your life.
If anything happens, lie.
You should spare your life.
I...
I'm going to protect my honor.
I won't live with regrets like you.
Hurry.
Yes, sir.
Hurry.
Tell me what you mean by that?
Who told you there are Goguryeo migrants in Tongmancheng and Canyuecheng?
I'm sure you can't answer since you heard it from...
Your Majesty!
The princess of Goguryeo.
The spy in the palace is your sister, the princess of Goguryeo.
She told Goguryeo about everything and put you in a bind.
That is absurd.
Why are you blaming Goguryeo for what Houyan did?
She is here as a condition of an alliance between our two countries.
Leaking secrets is an act of treason.
Are you saying we are at fault to find a traitor?
Do you want to see how we execute traitors?
What?
- Your Majesty. - Stop!
I am the spy.
I told them about Magocheng, Batar and the problem with the migrants.
What are you saying?
Princess Damju had nothing to do with this.
Do Gwang, how dare you?
Prince Murong Xi and Fengba are trying to accuse princess Damju to settle everything.
Lock him up in prison right now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Your Majesty...
- Let's go. - Come on!
General Do.
I'm sorry.
But I am a general of Goguryeo.
I did this out of loyalty to Goguryeo.
If I had to die now, I have no regrets.
Let's go!
Come on!
Your Majesty, please continue.
It wasn't enough to try to kill me.
You tried to accuse Damju of being a spy?
It was a mistake on our part.
You have to pay for this.
Pay for this?
Treat all the Goguryeo migrants at Tongmancheng, Canyuecheng and
Magocheng as if they were Houyan citizens.
You will also have to guarantee Damju's safety.
Announce this to all Houyan ministers and to the people of Houyan.
This should be included in the royal writ.
Answer me right now.
I will do that, but Do Gwang confessed to being the spy.
We can't hand him over to Goguryeo.
But...
We will not hand him over.
Prison, Houyan palace
General Do.
Your Majesty.
I wanted to say that before I died.
I'm so sorry.
You are a loyal servant.
I was not fully loyal.
No.
You were truly loyal.
I thought I lost everything when I left Goguryeo.
I gained everything today.
I gained my country and a king to be loyal to.
Forgive me for not being able to save you.
Your Majesty, achieve your great will and make Goguryeo a great country.
How did this happen?
Your Majesty, please calm down.
Goguryeo will raise strength in the 3 years we agreed on.
Houyan should be prepared, too.
Prepare well and take Yodong and even Gungnaeseong.
We will do everything we can.
Please think of the future and calm down.
Prepare well.
Propose alliances with enemy nations and increase funds to nurture our army.
Houyan is going to suffer extremely harsh winters for 3 years.
We have to conquer Goguryeo.
We will do our best, Your Majesty.
Look carefully.
We will return to this land.
It is the land with the spirit of our ancestors.
It is the land of our people.
We must recover this land and expand to the continent.
There is a lot you must do.
Just give us the order.
I will jump into the fires of hell if I have to.
I will also follow your orders.
I am prepared, too.
So am I.
I will trust you and the people of Goguryeo.
I will head for that vast continent with that trust.
This is the mission I have to achieve.
Let's go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
