Queen Seon Deok
Enjoy:)
Attack!
Episode 22
Hey, you there!
All of you come over here.
I will kill all of you.
Bidam~Mishil and King Jinji's son
Let's go!
Yushin Rang!
Don't!
That guy saved me.
Are you hurt anywhere?
No, I'm fine.
Hey! Chicken meat?
Here.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The cost of the chicken leg... You should give it to me, right?
That is... I haven't been able to get it yet.
Are you playing?
How about these?
These should be more than enough to pay for the chicken meat.
It's cow leather...
OK, fine!
Damn it! My master is going to kill me, just kill me.
Anyhow, thank you...
Where do you live? Who are you?
Well, I don't have a set place to live...
I'm staying at Yangji village at the moment, but...
If you're thankful, then find me some wild ginger roots.
Wild ginger roots?
But it's all gone now, because of an unknown illness...
It's terrible, just terrible.
By the way...
You wield your sword... with such heavy hands.
Damn, it hurts.
We should leave as well.
Where are we going to go?
For now, we should get away from this place?
What do you mean you failed?!
My apologies...
But some guy suddenly interfered.
Interfered? Who?!
Although, I do not know who he is,
but...
that's the first time in recent memory
that I've witnessed someone with such high martial arts skills...
It was the sword technique of Hoguk Seondo, which is lead by Imjong Rang.
Then...
It must have been one of Imjong's nangdo, right?!
But, that is to say... that he was much faster than Imjong Rang.
Someone like that was there?! Then...
Was he sent by Mishil?
I don't think so, judging from his appearance,
his actions, and the way he spoke.
It's an honor for the minister of defense to make your presence in our humble abode.
There is an unknown disease going around at one of our district,
a place called Yangji village, so it's a big concern.
We will be staying here for a few days, so please prepare a place for us to stay at.
Yes, I understand... Then...
Has there been a message sent by the spy we've planted with Kim Seohyeon?
It should arrive shortly.
I'll report to you as soon as it arrives.
Seokpum, I want you to take some nangdos with you,
and watch over people going in and out of every village.
Yes, Sir.
Don't let a soul, not even a single rat be able to escape!
Yushin Rang?
What is it?
So, what happened with your father?
About what?
The vice commander was definitely a part of the group that attacked me.
Is Lord Kim Seohyeon... also trying to kill me as well?
He said he came to kill me!
Now, it's not just Mishil, but is everyone else after me as well?!
Stop it!!!
Just don't think about it.
Let's think about this later, just a bit later.
They are Ilwol Seongdo.
Mishil's side is also making a move.
Just by seeing how they're watching over things...
I'm sure all other roads are blocked.
It's no good, Yushin Rang.
Where are we going now?
I said, where are we going?!
Then, you just want to die?!
There is only one place we can go.
You want to enter Yangji village?
Because of an unknown disease, people are dying off.
That's why we have to go there.
They wouldn't have blocked the entrance to that place.
And, they wouldn't dare just enter into that place.
But...
Yes, you're right...
Both His Majesty and Mishil are trying to capture you.
Even my father came all the way here in pursuit of you.
There is no one who can help us...
There is only the two of us.
And?
The only ones who can save us... is ourselves.
Therefore... if we give up, then we will surely die.
I will never give up.
But... if you give up, then it will make it twice as hard for me.
So... please don't give up.
Yushin Rang has entered Yangji village.
Yangji village means...
It's a place where an unknown disease is spreading, so the villagers are dying off.
At any rate, as long as Yushin is there...
you mustn't make any rash movements.
Then, what should we do now?
From knowing his personality...
He is more than capable of putting his own life on the line.
Do not act rashly. And you, I want you to check around Yangji village.
Yes, Sir!
My goodness, what a pity!
What happened to all the wild ginger roots?
And, what's with the blood stains on your clothes?
Did you fight again?!
I did not fight, but instead, I saved someone.
There was a person in dire straits, so I tried to save that person...
So, did you kill someone in order to save someone else?
They were powerful people trying to kill a weak person.
So, did you kill someone?!
As I was trying to save that person, I...
It's not in you to do that in order to save someone else.
Have you ever saved a person in you life?
Are you even capable of giving someone your compassion?!
Did you kill because you weren't able to hold in your anger?
That's not true...
This time, I really did save someone!
You wretch!!!
It's the truth!!
Excuse me.
They are the ones.
It all happened because I was trying to save them.
That incident from before... Please tell him.
I... saved you?
Right?
Yes, he is the one who saved me.
The number of patients are increasing by the day.
If things are done, the disease will spread to the next village.
You must attain wild ginger roots!
Yes, Sir. I understand.
There is an unknown disease that's pervading this place...
So, please leave.
We have our reasons, so we have to stay here a bit.
Munno
Are you really going to be like this?!
I said, people are dying off...
So please give me some, OK? I'll pay you for it!
Do you think it's easy to attain these wild ginger roots?!
At the moment, you can't obtain them, even if you had king's random.
Do you think it'll just be the villagers from Yangji that's going to die off?
In a matter of no time,
this place will be overflowing with the disease.
If it's not attained, then you will die... and so will I.
Like I said, it's pointless to beg.
By the way, it's none of my business,
but stop wasting your time at Yangji village, and just leave.
Even the government has abandoned them,
so why are you wasting your time on something like that?
I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you doing this?
You wretch, do you know who this is?!
I just needed some wild ginger roots for the disease at Yangji village,
so all I did was beg him... in order to obtain them.
Do you live at Yangji village?
I don't really live there, but...
my master saw all the people dying there as he was passing by, so...
he is staying there and treating them.
He must be a righteous man.
That should be praised.
But, by chance...
did two people enter that village, one dressed as a Hwarang, the other as a Nangdo?
No, I haven't seen them.
I will give you what you want.
Pardon?
You need wild ginger roots, right?
Then...
I will give you wild ginger roots, so just hand over the young man.
So, which young man are you talking about?
The one in the Nangdo garb who looks like a girl.
I don't need the man in the Hwarang garb.
In three days, I will obtain all the wild ginger roots as you need, so...
you must bring that person with you.
Yushin Rang.
Don't make me talk.
These fire-woods are going to be used for the patients.
Yushin Rang, please leave this place.
There is no reason for you to be here like this.
Why must you be like this, even becoming your own father's enemy?!
Is that all you amount to?
Yes...
I think so.
Deokman?
I haven't really given a thought...
about giving up on anything.
But...
I really want to succumb to everything.
For anyone to die on my behalf...
I think my mother's death will suffice...
Yushin Rang.
You're being like this in an attempt to save me, right?
But...
Just like my mother, who tried to save me...
I'm just afraid that you'll die.
If that were to occur...
Even if I was killed 100 times over, it still wouldn't suffice, and...
I will end up hating myself just as much.
So please don't make me turn out that way... and just leave me.
Stop talking nonsense!
Yushin Rang?!!
Pathetic fool!
Is that all you came up with?!
You're right,
like you said, there are people everywhere trying to capture you.
So what can you do?
Are you going to surrender?!
Are you going to run away?!
Even if I surrender, I don't have a place to return to.
And even if I run away, there aren't any safe places.
That's why don't do anything!
And don't think about anything!
Even now...
you don't have a choice in this matter.
Just leave me!
You have a choice!
And I chose you!!
My apologies.
I'll replace this one.
What is your name?
Pardon?
Did you not have a master?
You've surely trained foolishly...
It must have been difficult just to attain this level.
What do you mean by that?
Have you been in a sword-fight recently?
Then... you must not know about yourself very well.
Bisang~Highly toxic poison.
Maybe I should disappear this way...
Why is there a prison in such an isolated location?
It was used as a holding cell for the bandits before they were transferred.
But all of them ran away because of the plague.
The master has plans to treat gravely ill patients here, so...
clean up this place...
and lay down some straws in there.
Housing the patients in the prison cell?
It's urgent, so what does that matter?
As long as there is a place for them to lay down.
You should at least do your part to compensate for the meals.
I leave it to you.
Yes?
Lord Seolwon has appeared at Iseo Goon.
What?!
Damn it!
Doesn't this indicate a leak on our side?
It seems that Mishil has begun to set things in motion.
Deokman...
must never fall in the hands of Mishil.
Before Mishil could get her hands on Deokman, it'd be best to kill her instead.
You cleaned up everything.
If you have any other tasks, then give them to us.
You've piled up too much straw...
Pick up half of it and come out.
What are you doing?!
Yushin Rang?
I need to tie you up.
Just saying... You use your sword with such heavy hands.
You wretch! Why are you doing this?!
Open it!
Open the door!
Deokman! Open the door!
What are you doing?!
Open the door! What are you doing?!
What do you want?!
Tell me!
Open the door!
Open this door!
What the heck are you doing?!
Open it!
Sorry about this.
Who is it?
To whom are you taking me to?
Well... that, I don't know.
But, I'll ask.
Don't think of this as being unfair...
About 200 people...
can be saved.
200 minus... you...
199.
What are you thinking about?
Don't just sit there! Try to loosen the rope!
I was just thinking about...
which side would be better.
If Mishil's faction captures me, then...
although I may not be killed right away, but...
I will put His Majesty and the Princess in harms way...
And if I am caught by His Majesty's faction,
then... although I may die on the spot...
It will be a blessing in disguise for all...
In retrospect...
I guess I came to Gyerim to die.
Deokman...
I caused my mom to died in my place.
I fought tooth and nail just to survive through the sandstorm.
Endured through all your arduous demands.
And others exchanged their lives on the battlefield, just so that I can live.
But it's all meaningless now.
Even if I were to live...
For the princess...
For you...
His Majesty and the Queen...
Even for your father...
All I will do is put all of you in harms way.
Deokman.
Don't think like that.
It's not like you!
Use your courage... to bring out your inner strength.
Just how?!
How can I reach deep within to find that strength?!
Those who gave birth to me are trying to kill me.
Even your father is trying to kill me as well.
During training. During war...
The words of "find your inner strength"... I had to listen it over and over again!
So, please...
don't say that anymore.
Don't think of this as being unfair...
About 200 people...
can be saved.
Are you certain you have them?
Yes...
They are being held with no hopes of escaping, so...
please keep your promise.
We must take her back alive,
so make the necessary preparations.
Yes, Sir.
By the way... Who are you?
It's just that you don't appear to be from around here.
You wretch!!
Watch your mouth!
He is Seorabeol's minister of defense!
It's alright.
This is a national matter, so there is no need for you to be suspicious.
Anyhow...
you better hand over all the medicinal herbs as promised.
Do not worry.
When you bring that child with you tomorrow,
you'll be able to take the medicinal herb with you.
Yes, Sir.
Send a message to Lady Mishil that we have our hands on the other twin.
Yes, Sir.
Nunim!
It's here!
They got her!
Seju?! Now, the time has come!
Mother, finally,
we will be able to reveal the twin girl!
It's time.
Now that it has begun, so all of you, please make the necessary preparations.
- Yes, Milady. - Yes.
My Lady...
Yes?
This child was born
on the day when the seven stars of the Big Dipper became eight.
Did you forget... about the prophecy given on that day?
As long as the seven stars of the Big Dipper does not become eight...
There will be no one to oppose Mishil.
And next...
the one who will oppose Mishil
will come on the day when the seven stars of the Big Dipper become eight.
That child was born with the fate from the morning star of Venus.
Although, we have to bring her back alive
to prove the existence of the twin girls, but...
if you can kill her...
then you must kill her.
Do you still believe in that sort of things?
But of course, it's only natural since you are a head priestess.
My Lady...
But... it rains from my finger tips...
and with one word from this Mishil, the moon loses its light!
The morning star of Venus, the star of the Big Dipper...
It's a laughing matter.
Head Priestess? I am...
Mishil.
What do you mean by that?
Your Majesty...
Now that Mishil's faction
has found out about the twin girls, so this is the only way to resolve this issue.
But...
we just cannot make a decision about a national marriage so suddenly like this.
A wedding between Cheonmyeong and Yushin?
Once the successor issue is settled,
even Mishil's faction will not be able to make any senseless moves, and also...
It will further reinforce Lord Kim Seohyeon's position of authority.
But, this isn't the time to casually talk about a national marriage, right?
Because, right now, Deokman's life is at stake.
This will also help out with that issue.
All these issues are coming to light because we don�t' have a crown prince in position.
If Yushin becomes your son-in-law and act as a crown prince,
then, there won't be any issues about the seeds of Seonggeol*male drying up.
*Seonggeol~sacred bone
I'm sorry... for having to rush you into a marriage like this.
Mother.
Go ahead speak.
If a national marriage with a Gaya lineage were to occur,
then we will be able to establish a new source of power.
And also,
we have no way of knowing when and how Mishil's faction
will officially bring up the issue about Deokman.
You're right... I'm feeling anxious each and everyday.
Therefore, rather than just sitting idly...
I think it'd be for the best if we be prepared in anticipation for that very day.
Princess? Imjong Rang has arrived.
- Let him in. - Yes, Ma'am.
Your highness? Princess?
There is news that a Hwabaek* meeting is about to begin.
*Hwabaektop~council members
A Hwabaek meeting?!
Today, the reason for commencing this emergency Hwabaek meeting is...
for the sake of our Heavenly Kingdom and for the future of the royal family.
Unfortunately,
the lineage of Seonggeol male from our Heavenly Kingdom is in danger of being cut off.
The prophecy of the royal family passed down
from the time of our founding father Hyeokgose in Geusogwan states that...
If the king bears twins, then the seeds of all Seonggeol male will dry up.
How dare you speak in vain about that prophecy here?!
Are you saying that a twin birth has occurred?!
Yes.
Daedeung Sang? A twin birth?!
With what evidence do you possess
that would make you utter such vainglorious words at this Hwabaek meeting?!
Why yes, the evidence...
The evidence will come to light.
Lord Misaeng, you may enter.
At a Hwabaek meeting,
it's law that no one is allowed to speak other than Daedeungs, but...
I, as a Daedeung, would like to propose that I give Chilsuk Rang my rights to speak.
For all of you Daedeungs in favor of my proposal,
please take the marker in front of you, and throw it forward.
No, we must not.
If we try to stop Chilsuk from speaking, we will be acknowledging the twin birth.
Chilsuk Rang. Please speak.
Twenty years ago, the queen gave birth to twins, and...
His Majesty entrusted palace maid Sohwa to take care of her,
and tried to send them to a faraway place.
To prove the twins existence, I chased after that palace maid,
but was unable to catch her...
But after I returned...
that palace maid and the other twin...
I saw for myself that the both of them had returned back to Seorabeol.
Here.
I won't forgive you!
How could you do this?!
OK... I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Be understanding, OK?
I don't think that guy wants to eat.
Do you feel the same?
If you don't, then don't.
He said, he is the minister of defense.
The one who asked me to capture you.
But he said to make sure that I bring you back alive.
So don't worry about it too much.
I'll come back again at dinner time.
Thank you.
What?
Thank you?
You're thankful?
To me?!
Are you crazy?!
I'm selling you off, and yet, you're thankful?
Get a hold of yourself, you idiot.
He must be crazy, man...
You're crazy... Just crazy.
How long have you known?
The fact that Deokman was your sister?
Are you saying that Deokman... is the other twin girl?
It's already at this point, so...
why don't we just talk truthfully.
Isn't Deokman a male? And to say that he is the other twin girl.
After I bring her back, should I take off her clothes in front of everyone?!
Save those words until you bring back Deokman, OK.
We have Chilsuk and we also have Sohwa.
Deokman...
No, wait.
If Princess Deokman were to come here and show her birthmark behind the ear, then...
The Queen and the two princesses
must take full responsibility for drying up all seeds from Seonggeol males.
Yes, we will... That is, if you can bring Deokman here.
Yes... Of course I will bring her here.
What if you aren't able to?
Your sins for insulting the royal family by commencing the Hwabaek meeting...
will not be taken so lightly by fellow Daedeungs and the people.
Yes... but of course.
Who do you think will be able to get their hands on Deokman first?
If His Majesty is able to... then what does he plan to do?
I guess he would kill her, and not leave any trace of a corpse.
OK then... I will see you at the next Hwabaek meeting.
Although, you speak as if you hold all of Heaven's grace, but...
Heaven's grace... can vacillate and short lived.
Heaven's grace does not...
dawdle anywhere for long periods of time.
Do not be cocksure... Seju-nim.
Yes, Princess.
When I was at your age...
I, too, feared Heaven's grace, and proceeded to follow it as well.
But now... I don't need those kind of things.
Do not worry so much...
Lord Seohyeon went there first, so he will definitely bring Deokman back.
Yes, Sire.
Deokman is with Yushin, and since Lord Seohyeon has hurriedly chased after them,
so Mishil will not be able to get her hands on Deokman.
Mishil has... Chilsuk and even Sohwa.
At the next Hwabaek meeting, Sohwa will also make her appearance.
You still haven't been able to find out where Sohwa has been locked up?
We are searching everywhere, Your Highness.
This is such a tragedy...
As a father, I've abandoned my child,
and I can't even protect my child who has returned.
And now, I have to find her and abandon her once again?
Lady Manmyeong?
Yes.
Lord Seohyeon will take care of it, right?
If he was able to meet up with Yushin in good terms, then yes...
If Lord Seohyeon has other ideas, then the future of your family will be very bleak.
As soon as they capture Deokman, they must kill her,
and make sure no one will be able to find the corpse.
That is... how the royal family and your family can survive.
Yushin Rang.
What are you doing?
Either way, we have to find a way out of this place, right?
If we get out... Is there something we can do?
Let's think about that after we get out.
Yushin Rang.
Mishil taking you away...
I will never let that happen.
Yes... You shouldn't.
If I am to fall into to Mishil's hands, then...
His Majesty will be in dire straits...
while the Queen and the princess will be deposed.
And, There's no way of knowing... what will happen to you and your father.
That's not what we were talking about.
Therefore...
Shouldn't I just disappear.
Deokman?
Just before...
in that room full of medicinal herbs...
there was poison.
As I was looking at it...
Wouldn't it be better if I were to disappear?
I thought about that...
Deokman? Why are you being like this?
Let's just die!
I'd even had that thought.
Get a firm grip of yourself.
You mustn't think about those things.
I should be pitied...
Until now, my life has been fruitless.
And my death will also be fruitless.
I should really be pitied.
I had... nothing to look forward to...
but now... I have something to look forward to.
What? What is it?!
200 people will live...
That's enough.
Deokman?
Although, I have nothing to regret, but...
Yushin Rang...
parting from you... is a bit regrettable.
Deokman? Tell me!
Yushin Rang.
I... refuse to play a part in helping that woman get what she wants.
I will not.
Who is it?
Who is that woman?
There's someone.
Eat it.
Did you get the medicinal herbs?
I will have them once I hand you over.
I'm going to take him to the minister of defense, and I'll be back, alright?
No!! You cannot!
Deokman!!
He said he isn't going to kill him.
You wretch!!
I'm going to get you!!
Yushin Rang...
Thank you for everything.
Deokman!
Deokman!! You cannot!!!
Deokman!! Deokman!! Open it!!!
Deokman!! Deokman!! Deokman!!
Deokman!! Deokman!!
After I hand you over...
I'm going release him.
OK.
You...
had this knife in your hands,
so why didn't you cut the rope and run away?
I want you to take that medicinal herbs with you,
and make sure you save those 200 people, OK?
What about the wild ginger roots?
There it is.
Wow, there's a lot of it.
I couldn't even find any of it in this area no matter how much I searched.
Hand him over.
Yes, Sir.
It's certainly a strange fate meeting you again as a princess.
I have no intentions... of even helping you guys a little.
Yes, if that's plausible.
You wield your sword... with such heavy hands.
Damn, it hurts.
Did you not have a master?
You've surely trained foolishly...
It must have been difficult just to attain this level.
Then... you must not know about yourself very well.
What did you say?
So you sold that young person and obtained the medicinal herbs?
You said you could save the lives of 200 people.
You wretch!!!
If it's a choice between 1 person or 200 people,
then isn't it only natural to choose the 200 people?
Do you dare weigh the value of a human life?
Do you dare play numbers game with a human life?!
No matter what the great cause may be,
it will never outweigh more than a human life!
But the lives of the 200 people are worth more than one life!
If you have a goal,
then you're saying that it doesn't matter how you achieve that goal?!
What have you been learning all this time?!
Those people, they said they aren't trying to kill that child...
That child also thanked me before going.
What?
Thankful?
What can he really be thankful for?!
Pardon?
That... I'm not really sure...
Thank you.
But now, I have something to look forward to.
Yushin Rang.
I...
refuse to play a part in helping that woman get what she wants.
I will not.
You...
had this knife in your hands, so...
why didn't you cut the rope and run away?
I want you to take that medicinal herbs with you,
and make sure you save those 200 people, OK?
You wretch!!!
Do you think what you're saying makes any sense at all?!
Master...
My apologies... but later... later... I will receive your scolding.
999!
4302!
Put a gag in her mouth!
Yes, Sir!
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Hey there!
Elder?! Elder?!
I've finally caught up.
Do you have any more business with us?
Didn't you already take the medicinal herb?
I did take them, but...
no matter how much I thought about this, I don't think this is right.
I've changed my mind.
What?
I will certainly make sure and pay you later for those medicinal herbs.
That kid...
I must once again take him back with me.
What?
That guy... must be crazy.
You better leave right now.
You wretch, do you know where you are?!
Get out of here now!
Why did you return?
You said you would save 200 people.
Hey...
Do you think it's alright to play numbers game with a human life?
What?!
What are you going to do?
I guess I'm going to kill a lot of people today.
I'm going to get scolded again.
Halt!
Yushin Rang?!
You...
How did you get out?!
After this, I'm going to kill you!
OK... Let's talk afterward... When this ends.
Come here! If you touch this kid, I'm going to kill all of you!
You cannot touch Deokman! Come on!
Cheonmyeong left the palace?
Bicheon Jido and Yonghwa Hyangdo will now be going to Geumak village.
We're going to rescue Yushin Rang and Deokman.
That is... how the royal family and your family can survive.
Are you saying that Mishil can do it, but I cannot?
A weird occurrence has taken place amongst the stars.
This matter... I also must put my life on the line as well.
Prepare the poison arrow.
You wretch!!!
Who gave you this order?!
Your... Majesty...
the princess has...
Things like this has never happened to us before...
A major crisis will now surely come our way.
