Episode 24
Daenambo Rang?
They are inside over there.
You, follow those guys for now.
Yes, Sir.
Let's get closer.
Hey, aren't you Daenambo Rang?
Princess.
What brings you here?
Did you come here for pleasure?
Yes, Milady.
What about you, Princess?
I came by for a quick visit to gape at the beautiful scenery.
Let's go.
Yes, Milady.
The smoke signal has been lighted...
It's in the direction of Yangji village. What should we do?
For now, I'm going to follow the princess.
You, go to Yangji village.
Yes, Sir.
The whole mountain side is teeming with our men.
And yet, no one has lit the smoke signal.
There!
They must have been found.
It's northeast in the direction of Yangji village.
Let's go.
This is so much fun.. I've really wanted to do something like this.
As a Nangdo, do you partake in this sort of things often?
Like moving around in secrecy.
Why are those three so glum?
What's the circumstance behind Deokman having to act like a man?
That should suffice. Let's go.
Damn it, why can't he share some info with me?
What's with all of them being so tight-lipped?
Look out! Run away!
What is this? There is no one around here.
[You stupid fools]
What is that?
Damn it! We've been had.
We've been bamboozled.
I'm just dumbfounded!
Make sure no other nangdos come this way,
and immediately inform all others to stay at their current posts.
Yes, Sir!
Where is Daenambo?
I should have caught him... but he is very elusive.
Deokman! Deokman!
Princess? You cannot!
By now, even Seolwon's faction will know that the signal smoke was a hoax.
- Yushin Rang? Deokman? - No, you mustn't, Princess.
You cannot!
I must go!
Then... I will go...
So, Princess, Please!
Daenambo is in pursuit of Deokman?!
The smoke signal near Yangji village was to lead us astray.
And at the temple,
Daenambo went in pursuit of Deokman trying to escape by disguising in Princess' dress.
If she was discovered, the smoke signal should have been lit immediately!
The situation came up all of a sudden, so...
But then... Why did Baekho Bido go to the temple?!
Weren't you guys supposed to watch the northwest side of Geumak village?!
That, I do not know... But, you must hurry.
Yushin Rang.
Deokman.
Yushin Rang?
Yushin Rang.
Princess.
Where is Deokman?
She is safe.
This way.
Deokman?
Princess.
You're OK, right? You're safe, right?
Yes.. How about you?
I'm just fine.
What happened to Daenambo Rang?
That is... He ran away during our skirmish.
But... he was carrying poison arrows.
Bidam is waiting for us with a boat... So, let's hurry and go.
What's taking them so long?
Oh!
Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry!
Damn, why are they moving so slowly? Hurry up!
This is the boat. You like it, huh?
Go... Quickly.
Princess.
Go... and forget all memories about Shilla.
Together with Yushin Rang...
lead and live a gleeful life.
Unni.
Damn, they're really stretching this out.
Hurry up and get on!!
Geez, all they do is hug and cry all day. I already said we don't have time!
Alright, Deokman...
Go quickly.
Hurry.
Princess... Princess...
That's right, Deokman was wearing the princess' dress.
Hurry up and let's go.
Princess!!
NO!!
Princess!
Hurry up and get her on board!
Let's hurry!
Hurry up!
Have you received any news yet?
No, Your Majesty. Not yet...
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! I had a nightmare!
You haven't received any news yet?!
My Queen, please calm yourself.
I... think... some... some... something must have happened!
Nothing has happened. Have you been taking your tonic medicine?
Why haven't we heard anything yet?!
Hasn't there been any message from Iseo district?!
That is... not really.
If you command me, I will go there personally.
No need... I want you to stay at my side.
Yes, My Lady.
Damn, this is frustrating!
We have to commence with the Hwabaek tomorrow!
Either one of the twin has to be here by tonight at the latest!
At the very least, send a message to Lord Seolwon!
It's Cho-Oh* poison.
Cho-Oh~poisonous root from Bageot herb.
Poison?
Within two hours, the poison will spread throughout her body.
What do we need to do?
How can we save her?!!
I need to have licorice root and Bangpung*.
Shouldn't we be taking her to a physician immediately!
Bangpung~medicine used as an antidote.
We cannot. If we move her, the poison will spread even faster.
Then, what about Bangpung. Where can we obtain it?
It should be at a pharmacy.
The marketplace is close by.
I'll go... So let's hurry and go together!
Deokman...
Don't go.
Please stay at my side...
Please listen... to what I have to say.
I'll listen to you after I come back.
I certainly will, Unni...
Princess... I will listen to you right after I save you.
Deokman!
Deokman.
There might be some violet nearby, so, for now, at least put that on her.
Princess?
Did he say "violet"?
Yes, so let's go out and look for it.
Don't go.
Yushin Rang, don't go.
Yushin Rang...
Yes, Princess.
I'm... feeling... strange...
Am... I... dying now?
Princess, please remain strong.
No... It just feels strange...
Very strange...
Yushin Rang...
Nothing will happen to you.
As soon as we obtain the antidote,
you will get treated immediately, and then, you'll be moved.
My... hand... Can you please... hold my hand?
Yushin Rang...
Princess?
The royal family... They were making efforts...
To have you and me... consent to a marriage.
It was just... for strategy... for political reasons...
It was... that kind of a marriage...
As... it was meant... to obtain.. Gaya power source...
and it was... for the sake of the royal family.
It was for that reason.
But...
I liked it.
Princess.
I had no idea... that... I had... embraced you in my heart...
for a long time already.
Princess.
I know... that now.
But now... it's too late.
Give me some licorice root and Bangpung.
We're in a rush, so hurry up and give it to us!
It may be too late for me... but it's different for Deokman.
Deokman... is a poor child.
She has never lived her own true life.
Princess, please do not speak anymore.
I am concerned that the poison might even spread faster.
No... I must speak my peace.
Please... be good... to Deokman.
Please take care of... Deokman...
so that she can live... as a woman and as a person, alright?
Forget... all about Shilla and Mishil...
and go far away... and live... like a normal person, alright?
You will... do that for me, right?
Answer me... Quickly...
Hurry... and... answer me.
Yes, Milady...
I will do that.
It's a thief!
Give this... to Deokman.
Answer me.
Yes.
I will do that.
But... Chunchu...
My son... Chunchu...
What's going to happen to him?
That child... is... physically weak...
who is... kind-hearted to a fault...
and... is lacking in many skills...
Now... everyone... will be trying to... use that child for their benefit.
What am I going to do?
Deokman...
I want to see her.
Why are you throwing them away?
What is going on?
Archeon Rang?
What... what is going on?
Deokman...
What is it?! WHAT?!
Yushin Rang...
What is it?
Yushin Rang?
I said, what is it?!!!
Princess...
Deokman...
Why are you doing this?!
What was your order?
Who gave you the order?!
Daenambo Rang, you left your assigned post and acted on your own accord.
Even though you located Deokman, you did not send up any smoke signal.
What was your order?
What have you done?!
You wretch!!
Tell me the truth!
Are you acting with such impudence because you're Lord Misaeng's son
and because you have a close relationship with Lady Mishil?!
I'm certain your order did not come down from Seju.
Seju will never give an order that will contradict any other order.
If your order was not given by Seju, then you're good as dead.
You're going to meet your demise anyways before we get back to Seorabeol.
Who gave you the order?!
The Head Priestess and my father, Lord Misaeng.
What was the order?!
It was an order to kill Deokman.
And?
Did you kill Deokman?
Since I used a poison arrow, so...
most likely.
We just cannot leave the princess' corpse here like this.
I'm going to Seorabeol.
I will escort her corpse and return.
Please do that.
Yushin Rang... you must... fulfill the princess' final words.
You certainly must!
And you?
What will you do?
I will deliver the corpse to the royal family, and...
carry out my duty as a Hwarang.
We won't be able to see each other again, right?
No...
Most likely not.
We must at least procure Deokman's corpse before we head back.
Yes, understood!
Yes, let's go.
Lord Seohyeong, what brings you here?
Minister of defense?
We have business to take care of,
so we will have to see each other again at Seorabeol.
Enough is enough!
About what?
If you keep persisting, then... an unforeseeable incident might transpire.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
May I suggest that you continue with your hunting trip.
Minister of defense?!
All roads ahead in the future may be a difficult one, so...
let's just stop!
Lord Seohyeon?!
Please step aside!
Is... Isn't that...
Archeon Rang?
It's you, Archeon Rang. You have also made your way here.
She has passed away.
Passed away? Who did?
The princess!
The princess...
has met her demise!
Cheon... Princess Cheonmyeong?!
What did you say?!
Did you say, Princess Cheonmyeong?!
What are you talking about?
Who... who just died?!
Princess... Cheonmyeong...
has met her demise at Iseo district.
What are you saying?!
Are you sure you got your facts straight?!
Your Majesty...
The princess... has passed away.
Your... Your Majesty...
Tell me the truth!
What did you say?!
Prin... Princess Cheonmyeong...
has passed away.
Does that make any sense?!!!
Cheonmyeong did... Why?!
Cheonmyeong has... How?!
Are you trying to make an ignoramus of the king?!
Sire, Sire! Please calm yourself.
There must be a misunderstanding...
This cannot be happening.
None of this makes any sense...
How could Cheonmyeong die?
Just how?!
I think you must have been misinformed...
The princess is being escorted back to Seorabeol as we speak.
Your Highness... Your Highness!
Is anyone outside?! Call a physician!!
Your Highness!
What... are you... talking about?
Who just died?!
Bojong?!
What are you saying?
Princess Cheonmyeong has met her demise on a mountain side in Iseo district.
Her corpse is being escorted back here from Iseo district office as we speak.
Princess Cheonmyeong died?!
Why would she?!
Just... how... could... this happen...
The Minister of Defense will give you a detailed report upon his return.
Just saying... Why did Princess Cheonmyeong die?!
Just how... could something... like this... Something like this happen?!
Relay a message to Lord Seolwon to stop all activities and to return.
However, Deokman's whereabouts are still unknown...
Right now, we must lay low.
Things like this has never happened to us before.
A major crisis will now surely come our way.
Now... what are we going to do?
Cheon... How can Cheonmyeong be dead?!
Cheon... Cheonmyeong is dead!
It looks as if... it's time for me to step down.
What nonsense are you talking about?!
Princess Cheonmyeong has... Why?!
I do not know the exact details,
but her corpse will be arriving at Seorabeol tomorrow morning.
How can something like this happen?
What's going to happen now?!
Now, what are we going to do?!
Pungwolju* has handed down an order
*Pungwolju~Top Hwarang adviser
for all Hwarangs to gather at Seorabeol.
Hey, hey, hey... You heard that, right?
- Yes. - You heard that, right?
Yes, I heard.
Right...
- That is how you heard it, right? - Yes, I heard.
So, they said that Princess Cheonmyeong has passed away, right?
I wonder what's going on?
Why all of a sudden?
What do we do now?!
Just how do we go about this?
Princess... It's my fault.
However, I will certainly take full responsibility.
Lord Yongchu.
We must send a message to Xiu Nation, so we can bring Lord Chunchu back here immediately.
Daedeung, don't you have any responsibility over this incident?
Are you thinking about the next move at a time like this?!
Yes, I will take full responsibility.
However, right now... we must send a message to Lord Chunchu.
Cancel all activities.
What do you mean by "cancel"?
I'm talking about the Hwabaek to prove the twins existence.
Cancel everything,
and make sure no one brings up this matter for the foreseeable future.
It's only courteous to cancel a Hwabaek during a national funeral, but...
We should bring this matter back up once the funeral is over.
Now, it will be difficult to judge what is ahead of us in the future.
Regardless of any circumstances surrounding Cheonmyeong's death,
we won't be able to elude this responsibility.
Who?! US?!
Shouldn't Lord Seolwon take responsibility for this Iseo district incident?!
Hey, did I say something wrong?!
It's the truth!
Everyone please stop!
For now,
we must make sure that all subordinates who serves us keep their mouth shut.
Especially you, Hajong...
You must act with prudence in everything that you say or do.
Yes, Mother, do not worry.
But... None of this make any sense to me.
Why did Cheonmyeong all of a sudden?
Then, following Seju's words... We will delay the Hwabaek indefinitely.
I will send messages to all Daedeungs.
I want you... as a minister of rites...
to prepare carefully, so this national funeral can proceed without a hitch.
Yes, Nunim.
Also, we must send a message to Kim Chunchu who is currently residing in Xiu Nation.
Chunchu?!
Why should we?!
His Majesty will most likely take care of it!
We have to be the ones to bring back Chunchu!
We're in a rush... So, who should we send?
- Yes, Mother. I... - Nunim!
I will send Daenambo.
- I... - Nunim,
I've heard that Daenambo will be arriving here shortly.
I shall send him on his way immediately
tonight along with few members of Baekho Bido!
Yes, please do that.
Let us get back to our work.
Yes, Milady.
Cheonmyeong...
At last, you're going to save the royal family.
This time... You've won.
Here.
I kind of know how you're feeling, but...
you have to eat something.
What are you going to do now?
Don't concern yourself. And just be on your way.
Here.
Hey...
Hey, come over here! Something is wrong with her!
Deokman!
Water... Bring some water!
OK!
It' your fault.
What are you saying?
If we weren't a part of the royal family, then...
It wouldn't have mattered if I gave birth to twins.
The sin for abandoning a newborn baby...
Cheonmyeong paid for that sin...
The sins that we've committed...
Cheonmyeong paid for those sins.
If you would have relinquished the throne...
and handed over the Heavenly Kingdom to Mishil, then...
Everything would have turned out fine, right?
My Queen?
What were we... trying to gain...
by fighting?
Everything...
was done in order to protect you from Mishil.
Yes, Your Majesty.
However...
From now on, you won't be able to...
even protect me anymore.
Deokman!
Your fever has gone down.
Are you feeling better?
You were ill for three days and nights.
Each day felt like a hundred years.
Deokman.
The princess worried about you... until the very end.
She was dispirited because you couldn't be at her side.
She wanted for you to live as a woman.
She wanted for you to live as a normal person.
She mentioned... that you've never lived your own life on your own terms.
Forget about Shilla...
forget about Mishil...
as you go far away, and...
live like a normal person should.
That is what she said.
To make sure you would honor the princess' final words...
She made me promise as she repeated the same words over and over again.
Deokman?
I won't follow her wishes.
What?
What did you say?
Unni's final words... I said I won't follow them.
Deokman?
It came out so easily... so why couldn't I call her Unni before?
Why are you acting this way?!
Her final words... I'm not even going to adhere to a single word. No, wait...
I refuse!
Do you realize what great opportunity we lost due to Cheonmyeong's death?
But, I'm still your brother, so how can you ask me to drink this poison?
I'd even abandoned my own child.
I... pity her...
So, I would like to help her.
In any history records, not one letter of your name will be left, you wench!!!
Archeon Rang is in front of assembly hall?
He is requesting for an official investigation into Cheonmyeong's death.
There's going to be a solar eclipse.
Will there be a solar eclipse?
Maybe if we had the Cheongwang almanac...
Your Majesty,
I am your second child, this nation's princess. I am Deokman!
