Please give him a healthy child through me.
Baby you'll be the King of Nakrang.
Choi Li's two daughters will bring about the collapse of Nakrang?
Please spare my daughter.
Save my daughter. Save your daughter.
l want Hodong to become a strong sovereign, a strong conqueror
who'll succeed me!
Grandfather give me a prince who'll carry on Goguryeo's legacy.
Please kill Hodong the son of that Buyeo tramp.
ls that true? Afisherman saw the boat?
So Jamyung is alive...?
Are you Hodong? - You're really the daughter of Lady Wang Jasil,
the greatest beauty in Nakrang? - They want Lahee for Hodong's wife.
No! Lahee must marry Hol.
Have you been well Princess?
Why is it any of your concern? - Because you'll be my queen.
l never said l'd marry you.
l'll hire the circus troupe Jamyung's in.
No, lady.
"The strongman is yourfather?
Kids like us were all sold... Or abandoned to die.
Myori... - Are you certain this time?
l think she died because of me. l know she did.
You came to learn how to use a sword?
Yes, teach me how to use a sword, spear and bow.
They say Queen Maeseolsu might be pregnant.
Part 14
PUKU / Jamyung
There. Satisfied?
You can't go to Nakrang.
You told me l could go if l pass the test.
You can't stop me now.
What you're wielding isn't a real sword.
Teacher.
HOGOK Royalty of former Nakrang Army A sword that hasn't seen blood is only a toy.
You shouldn't mess with mere trickery.
This waterflows to Nakrang right?
To Myori?
l couldn't even give herflowers back then.
We were busy running away.
HANKAl / llpum lt was herfate.
You should forget her now.
And if l do? Will that bring me peace?
l don't think so.
That's not true peace.
l'm too ignorant to say it better
but even if you cover up trash you can't cover up the stench.
Maybe we forget too many things in life.
But what are we supposed to remember... and forget?
Well what are we supposed to remember?
What are you thinking about?
Myori?
Nothing.
What do you want to remember?
The days l spend with you are all precious to me.
Same here. What do you want to forget?
Everything that pains Puku.
Same here.
People are hardest creature to control.
CHA CHASUNG Leader of Troupe Happy Joy MlCHU / Cha chasung's wife That's right.
CHA CHASUNG Leader of Troupe Happy Joy MlCHU / Cha chasung's wife Even if the emperor wants
CHA CHASUNG Leader of Troupe Happy Joy MlCHU / Cha chasung's wife her as his concubine
it's her choice if she doesn't want to be one.
Hey that's not the same.
Why not? lt's all the same to me.
l'm sure Puku can look out for herself.
l said a sword that hasn't seen blood is just a toy.
Puku will die if she goes to Nakrang.
But what else can we do?
Hangkai will leave if Puku leaves.
Then ourtroupe will go out of business.
We don't want to let her go either.
SOSO MEMBER OF HAPPYJOY
We should at least bring Myori's killer
to her grave and make him apologize.
Does Myori who's already dead want revenge?
l want to ask him who's behind it.
Did our parents do it?
Aren't you curious?
l'm not.
Liar.
My parents have my heart when we left Nakrang.
l never want to think about them again.
And l want you to do the same.
You nearly died.
Puku.
l was the one who was stabbed in the heart.
Myori didn't die because of you.
l understand your position. But l'm different.
l'll find them and show myself.
l'm the daughteryou stabbed in the heart with a coral hairpin.
l'm Puku the daughter you tried to kill at Yulguhun.
l don't know what my real name is but l am your daughter.
And what will that change?
l didn't die. ''l'm sorry to disappoint you. ''
l'll laugh in their faces and then forget them.
Siryou know who Puku's parents are don't you?
Just who are those terrible people?
You once said you caused the fall of your kingdom.
What does Puku have...
Shut your mouths before l rip them apart!
What would ignoramuses like you understand?
My goodness.
You're so loud. You scared me.
JEOMYO PlGLET
l'm just a piglet and Puku is just Puku.
You just make sure she doesn't go to Nakrang.
Pig...
LlU LlNG / Minister of Han China Liu Xian's nephew Why don't we send that Puku girl to Nakrang?
She can fight Princess Lahee overthe throne and
they can kill each other.
That won't appease King Liu Xian's fury.
You have something bigger in your mind?
yes, we will let Jamyung kill Princess Lahee.
l'll let Choi Li taste the pain of
losing what's most dearto him.
Then Choi Li will also die by Jamyung's hands.
But what if Choi Li's daughter insists on going to Nakrang?
She hasn't mastered the skill to sneak into the palace.
Choi Li renamed King Liu Xian's palace and is living there.
After l teach Jamyung the ins and outs of the palace...
l don't know why l feel so antsy every time l see that man.
l feel the same.
ljust got this bad feeling from him
from the first time l saw him.
l think he knows where you two came from.
l think l saw him a long long time ago...
But Puku likes him.
lt's not right for a pupil to be suspicious of his teacher
but l think l should look into him.
Yes.
You should find out whether he's a good guy
or a bad guy yourself.
Puku you think a needle and a sword are the same thing
because they're both pointy? You can't sew.
What are you embroidering? You don't know how to write.
ljust drew what l remember.
GOOD FORTUNE Let's see.
These letters were embroidered on your baby robe.
yes, it means good fortune.
Teachertold me.
ls this forthat man?
Yes.
So you'll go to Nakrang no matter what we say?
l have to go.
What do you want?
There's something we have to tell you before you leave.
The thing stabbed in your chest was a coral hairpin of all things.
We're just afraid that the people who tried to
kill you must've been very powerful people.
You're pretty good with a sword and you're light enough to jump
but when you're faced with a hundred a thousand troops...
l can beat them.
Don't be arrogant.
You should flee when you're cornered.
Cha Chasung and l will teach you everything about running away
hiding and putting on a disguise.
Really?
You're grossing me out.
You don't complain when he kisses you.
You don't like women?
Of course not!
Arms straight.
This isn't flour?
lt's the real thing.
l'll do it.
She's a girl. She's not strong enough...
What if she's captured alone?
You have to believe in yourself.
All humans have super strength in them.
They can even lift a wagon when they're in danger.
Hold it.
You're no ordinary princess.
You must lead your army on the battlefields
and bring your generals to yourfeet.
LAHEE Choi Li and Wang Jasil's daughter
l'll first bring you to my feet General Wang Hol.
WANG HOL / Wang Jasil's brother Mo Yanghae's husband Men and women are different in strength.
WANG HOL / Wang Jasil's brother Mo Yanghae's husband You'll surely be defeated in a long match.
WANG HOL / Wang Jasil's brother Mo Yanghae's husband Don't let your guard down.
LETHAL POlNTS / Weakness point in body You must aim foryour opponents' lethal points

Your legs are your pillars

l'm about to pee.
Hey your life depends on it.
This will save your life someday.
l'm sorry.
Gluteus, Maximus.
All together now!
That was great Princess.
lt was to be expected Teacher.
Did you send someone for my father?
yes, Your Majesty.
SONG MAESEOLSU King Daemushin's Queen l can't keep fooling His Majesty l'm gaining weight.
Don't worry.
GOCHUGA / The highest title among the tribes Song Okgu's title Chief Song will come foryou in three days at the latest.
GOCHUGA / The highest title among the tribes Song Okgu's title How dare you stop me?
You can't go in Your Majesty.
Get out of my way.
But the queen is very ill...
Please leave Your Majesty.
Do you not have need foryour hands?
That was some entrance Your Majesty.
You never liked me in the Biryuna tribe.
Have you forgotten that l'm now the queen?
You came.
SONG SUJlRYUN / Song Maeseolsu's cousin King Daemushin's second Queen lt's been a while since l heard you were ill
SONG SUJlRYUN / Song Maeseolsu's cousin King Daemushin's second Queen but l was kept from seeing you.
SONG SUJlRYUN / Song Maeseolsu's cousin King Daemushin's second Queen So l forced my way in today.
How nice of you. Have a seat.
You were ill but you seemed to have gained weight.
Women gain weight with age.
Put it down.
yes, Your Majesty.
UHSOOGWAN / Palace culinary They butchered a cow yesterday
UHSOOGWAN / Palace culinary so l brought you fresh liver.
lt's good for menopausal women.
Have some.
l'll eat it later.
Please have a bite for my sake.
She's been feeling sick in the stomach lately...
Are you all right?
Your Majesty please keep it down.
Where are you going?
lsn't this a great news for Goguryeo?
The queen who was thought to have stopped menstruating
is pregnant.
We should let His Majesty know.
Sujiryun.
Jealousy is a foolish emotion.
lt'll ruin you and me both. We'll all die in the end.
Jealousy? l'm so happy l could cry.
Sujiryun you were a cousin l adored
and we're from the same family of the Biryuna tribe.
Men are not to be trusted.
Their lust and love will fade one day.
The only ones you can trust are your blood relatives.
How did you manage to deceive the king until now
when you're so scared of him?
You!
You'll die by my hands if you walk out right now.
Your Majesty!
Let go of me you wench!
Forgive me...
l'll take my punishment...
... after Her Majesty safely delivers her baby.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN / Hodong's father Third King of Goguryeo lt's been five years already.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN / Hodong's father Third King of Goguryeo Will Choi Li let my son Hodong grow old alone?
WU NARU / Hodong's Uncle Head of National Administration Maybe we should forget about that marriage.
Bring me the letter Choi Li sent with Song Okgu.
yes, Your Majesty.
Read it again.
l need to read between the lines more carefully.
yes, Your Majesty.
King Daemushin
l appreciate your proposal of marriage.
But my daughter is still too young
and l wish to delay my answer until my daughter is older.
WANGGEOM PALACE OF NAKRANG CHOl Ll'S STUDY We are brother countries
both descendants of Dangun Wanggeom.
Goguryeo is our closest neighbor.
CHOl Ll King of Nakrang father of Jamyung and Lahee Nakrang will maintain
CHOl Ll King of Nakrang father of Jamyung and Lahee friendly relations with Goguryeo.
CHOl Ll King of Nakrang father of Jamyung and Lahee Even if we must point swords at each other
we should avoid planting and harvesting times.
CHU BALSO / Executive Officer of Goguryeo's southern district A ruined harvest won't
CHU BALSO / Executive Officer of Goguryeo's southern district end in hunger only in Nakrang.
lt'll cause famine in Goguryeo as well.
EUNPO BORDER NAKRANG
TA HOTAE / General of Goguryeo Why did you bring so little food this time?
Nakrang isn't Goguryeo's food warehouse!
Why did you reduce the barley supply
when the Yeonna tribe's trading?
Nakrang also had a poor harvest this year.
Don't take it if you're not satisfied.
But Nakrang will openly trade with Goguryeo.
We will buy iron gold and horses
and in payment we will supply rice barley salt and whale oil.
That's the end of the letter.
EUL DUJl / Senior Head Officer of National Administration Hodong's former teacher There was little snow last winter
EUL DUJl / Senior Head Officer of National Administration Hodong's former teacher and they had a poor barley harvest.
They said they'll reduce the barley supply by half this year.
He's a smart one.
Choi Li understands very well that you can't give
too little ortoo much in orderto control a person.
He knows he has to give just enough to satisfy
the hunger so the other person won't have any complaints.
Queen Sujiryun was injured.
She was?
What did you just say?
Queen Maeseolsu is pregnant.
Congratulations Your Majesty.
Go and capture Song Maeseolsu.
Your Majesty she's the Queen of Goguryeo.
She's no longerthe queen.
She's a traitor who deceived me
and brought chaos to Goguryeo.
Catch her before she gets to the Biryuna tribe.
l'll kill her myself!
- l'll obey your command! - l'll obey your command!
BlRYUNA TRlBE SONG OKGU'S RESlDENCE
SONG OKGU / Chief of Biryuna Song Maeseolsu's Father Will l'll finally be getting a grandson?
SONG OKGU / Chief of Biryuna Song Maeseolsu's Father Goguryeo will have a prince who's born of my blood?
Your Majesty thank you!
Chief.
What is it?
The hawk is here.
His Majesty has ordered the queen's capture.
Gatherthe troops. l'll go to escort the queen.
What are we to do...
What are we to do about Prince Hodong?
What will happen to Goguryeo?
Muhyul's first queen is pregnant?
BUDAL / Second general According to our spy
BUDAL / Second general Muhyul sent out his army to kill his queen.
That cruel jerk.
HA HOGAE / General How can he kill his wife who's carrying his child?
He didn't earn his name for nothing.
An ordinary man's fury will ruin his family
but a king's fury will bring bloodshed.
Goguryeo will soon be swept up in bloodshed.
DOCHAL / Minister You have to now officially refuse
DOCHAL / Minister their marriage proposal.
Nakrang will support Hodong.
ADVlSOR TO THE KlNG / RYUJl Your Majesty
ADVlSOR TO THE KlNG / RYUJl you can't foretell Prince Hodong's future.
Pourthe drink.
As of today ourtreaty with Song Okgu is broken.
Nakrang will now support Hodong.
We must encourage Hodong to fight his brother.
lf l were in Goguryeo
l'd escort the queen safely to the Biryuna tribe.
Muhyul's queen must produce a son.
Will you let me rest peacefully by your side?
Will you forsake the Biryuna tribe
who has forsaken you?
yes, Your Majesty.
Then will you sincerely become Hodong's mother?
yes, Your Majesty.
l wished to befriend you in our old age...
Your Majesty the queen might produce a princess...
You!
You must not be remembered as the man who killed his wife!
Your Majesty!
Song Maeseolsu is no longer my queen.
She's just a tramp from the Biryuna tribe!
That despicable wench!
HODONG King Daemushin's son
You'll grow old and l'll become king.
Live as you are now.
Stay cooped up in a room as if you don't exist.
yes, l'll grow old quietly.
And l'll see for myself
how your arrogance will be the death of you.
Then l'll tie this ribbon on your coffin.
You've successfully...
... managed to deceive us all Your Majesty.
What were you praying for?
l was just reminiscing about the old times.
l wish to see your achievement in sword skills.
Bring me Song Maeseolsu.
lf you can't capture her alive
you may kill her on the spot.
Make sure she doesn't cross the Majasu River alive.
Father.
What?
Do you not feel the same way l do?
l don't like the queen.
But how can l kill her when l called her ''mother''...
l've already taught you the cruel sword.
And you have mastered the sword
you can kill your own flesh and blood with.
Please have mercy.
Why? Are you afraid?
l know it is your intention to empower me.
l have failed to bring the Biryuna tribe to my side
but the otherfourtribes are supporting me.
Should Song Maeseolsu produce a son
the fourtribes will turn their backs on you in a flash.
Then l will...
This is the King of Goguryeo's command.
Anyone who's deceived the king can't be forgiven.
Father.
Choose.
Will you give up your life
or bring me Song Maeseolsu?
General Wu is after her
but l'm sure he has Biryuna's spy among his men.
l know.
What about the men?
They're gathered outside the stable.
Why do you carry a sword in this time of the night?
l'm on my way to capture the traitor
who threw Goguryeo into confusion.
Prince.
Don't stop me.
Do you want to become king so badly that you'll kill your mother?
lt's the king's command.
Parents can be ignored if they are wrong.
There is some blood you must never shed.
The queen was the one who wanted to draw my blood first.
A king sometimes kills his wife and children.
But a child even if he is king cannot kill his parent.
Minister.
lf you taint your sword with your mother's blood
you will lose your support as king.
Get out of my way.
Atrue leader should be afraid of leaving a
shameful legacy not afraid of death.
Minister are you telling me to die?
lf that's the fate you're dealt you must accept it.
You're still a dreamer.
Please taint your sword with my blood first if you must go.
l Eul Duji can't bare to see you taint your name by
killing your mother.
Eul Duji you're no longer my teacher.
Let's go.
This is flourfrom Bakreung Plains.
And this is oil extracted from orchids.
Give me your hand.
You have hands as soft as jade and silk...
What?
Those blisters must've become calluses.
What prince will hold your hands?
You thought l'd have the hands of a courtesan?
These hands hold a sword and books and sometimes a hoe.
That's what a king's hands do.
MO HASO / Choi Li's first wife Jamyung's mother
Your Majesty.
Have you heard?
Goguryeo's queen is pregnant.
Really?
ls that right?
l heard he doesn't get along with his mother.
This could put Prince Hodong in a difficult position.
All his efforts will go in vain.
What do you mean?
WANG JA-SlL / Choi Li's Second Wife Lahee's mother Should Muhyul's queen have a son
WANG JA-SlL / Choi Li's Second Wife Lahee's mother Hodong won't be able to compete with the prince
who has the Biryuna tribe on his back.
ls that what you came to say?
You can't marry Hodong.
The king will decide.
Even in ordinary families
the father decides matters of marriage.
You're so frustrating.
Hodong is already finished.
Did Goguryeo's queen have a son?
lt's too early to presume anything.
lt's not important whether she has a son or a daughter.
The Biryuna tribe and Hodong have to fight fortheir lives.
You think Goguryeo can survive without the Biryuna tribe?
l don't understand such things.
And we shouldn't understand such things.
Then you stay out of it Your Majesty.
DONGGOBl / llpum's aunt
Lahee must marry General Wang Hol.
But he already has a wife.
l'll take care of that.
Please stop.
Lahee!
l'm not interested in either Prince Hodong or Uncle.
l'll decide whom l'll marry.
Queen Wang has gone too far.
She's just concerned about Lahee.
You haven't mentioned Jamyung lately.
l'll go with Lahee when she goes to Luoyang after
she's installed as crown princess.
l'll look for Dongmohyun myself.
Nobody saw the boat in Shinsodoguk or Liadong.
That only leaves us with Dongmohyun.
lt's already been five years.
Too much time has passed.
Why? Do you need to hire more people?
Why are these...
l gave them to you to use in searching forJamyung...
What's wrong with you?
l can't deceive you any longer.
Donggobi.
Jamyung is dead.
The boat did land at Dongmohyun
but Jamyung and llpum were already dead.
Please punish me for deceiving you.
Bring him to me.
Bring me the person who told you Jamyung is dead.
l'll hear it for myself.
l knew it'll break your heart if you knew.
l don't believe you!
l won't believe until l see it... hear it for myself.
That Donggobi is tightlipped.
She kept the information we leaked forfive years.
Are you certain that girl in the troupe was Jamyung?
You saw foryourself.
Your Majesty.
Wait.
Turn your eyes away.
She's still the princess of this kingdom.
How dare you lay your eyes on her body?
Forgive me Your Majesty.
yes, l saw it myself.
lt was Jamyung for certain.
You can nevertrust a person's eyes lips or ears.
Your Majesty...
No.
Mo Haso is looking forthe man who brought the news.
Give it to the man.
She'll need proof to believe it.
l'll carry out your order without a mistake Your Majesty.
Your Majesty General Wang Hol is here.
Please come in. The queen is waiting.
Did you call for me Your Majesty?
Welcome Hol.
Why did you ask for me at this hour?
Would you like to have a drink with your sister?
Do you still have that...
... the one Mo Yanghae out around your ankle?
Yes.
BULGONGDAECHUNGlSU / Enemies that cannot live under the same sky ''We can't live under the same sky with Wang Jasil''?
BULGONGDAECHUNGlSU / Enemies that cannot live under the same sky Yes.
Hol do you still resent me?
You're my sister and he was my brother.
l can't take either side.
How can l resent you?
So why do you still wear it around your ankle?
lt's my burden to bear until Sister-in-law forgives you.
Then again l do resent you.
The burden is too heavy.
l always wanted to live a fun and carefree life.
But now l'm the master of Younghojangwon and
the great general of Nakrang.
Let me compensate you.
l'll give Lahee to you.
Before this talk of marriage to Hodong goes further
l'll have Lahee marry you as soon as she's made crown princess.
Why?
You don't like Lahee?
Did you forget?
l already have a wife.
You'll give me the Princess of Nakrang as my second wife?
Mo Yanghae isn't your wife.
That old witch can't be your wife.
Sisterthe lady of Yulguhun is Mo Yanghae.
Hol.
She's my mother my sister-in-law...
... and my wife.
My wife is making my breakfast.
l have to go now.
YULGUHUN Wang Hol's residence
Did you drink?
yes, l had a drink.
MO YANGHAE / Wang Hol's sister-in-law and wife You brat
MO YANGHAE / Wang Hol's sister-in-law and wife how dare the great general
MO YANGHAE / Wang Hol's sister-in-law and wife of the kingdom drink in broad daylight?
Are you upset l didn't come home last night?
Don't giggle. l won't tolerate your drunken tirade.
Go wash and sober up.
Go and get some rest.
SASl / 10 AM WlJEONG ARMY/Army guarding the outer palace We'll inspect the Wijeong Army at ten.
SASl / 10 AM WlJEONG ARMY/Army guarding the outer palace -Yes sir. -Yes sir.

Sister-in-law l can wash myself.
You brat.
l used to change your diapers and bathe you.
Follow me.
You stink.
Let's see.
l should give you a good scrubbing.
Sister-in-law please be gentle.
When will you grow up?
How can your brother rest in peace
with you whining like a baby?
Bucket.
Here.
What?
Am l that dirty?
You wash yourself.
Why?
Did l upset you?
l've grown old and weak now.
How much longer do l have to serve you hand and foot?
BULGONGDAECHUNGlSU WANG JASlL We can't live under the same sky with Wang Jasil
Honey...
Our Hol...
... is all grown up.
When did he grow so big?
lt's not like you can't always get powdered squid bones.
CHlVE Chives.
Right.
When you have a stab wound chew up some chives
and shepherd's purse and apply it to the wound.
That'll stop the bleeding.
Puku!
lt's okay. This doesn't even hurt.
NAESARYUNG / Seungsang of Nakrang's assistant l'll be taking over
NAESARYUNG / Seungsang of Nakrang's assistant your lessons as of today.
Yes Teacher.
Thank you for everything.
Please masterthe virtue of a king and succeed His Majesty.
When you've been stabbed crawl if you have to
into a dark cave orthe mountains.
Away from people's eyes.
No so you won't die from starvation or dehydration.
Suck on grass when you're thirsty.
Or wet rocks.
lf you can't find anything drink your own urine.
The waterfrom this gorosoe tree
GOROSOE / Today's name for maple is good for broken bones.
GOROSOE / Today's name for maple Make a hole and
GOROSOE / Today's name for maple the water will pour out.
You'll be able to survive on it for a month
since you're used to hunger.
lt'll also heal your bones.
lf you have to suck on the bark.
You've mastered The Four Books and The Five Classics
with your previous teacher
and The Art of War with General Wang Hol.
l'll teach you The School of Law by Han Fei.
l've read the book many times.
How did he describe a ruler?
A ruler must establish laws and have absolute authority
so that his court and people will revere and obey him.
You have to fear hunger not injury.
Be it snakes rats or worms
learn to put anything edible in your mouth.
lt's all in the past.
Anyhow l feel sorry forthe situation Prince Hodong is in.
We're going in the wrong direction.
She couldn't have gotten away this fast.
Even if she's trained in martial arts she's still a woman.
MAJASU / Today's Aprok river But she knows the route
MAJASU / Today's Aprok river to the Majasu betterthan we do.
Since General Wu sent his men toward Heori
Yanggok and Wumari we'll go toward Woegal.
No.
She couldn't have come this faryet.
Your Majesty.
Yangdeok look what my husband is doing to me.
He's sent his first wife's son to kill me.
Yes... l deceived him.
l deceived him because that was the only way to live.
But is he right to treat his wife this way?
Please stay strong.
We'll cross the Majasu River.
l won't die.
l'll give birth to a son and give him to Muhyul.
l'll see that my son become the next King of Goguryeo.
Let's go to Yeorang.
You want to return to the lion's den we barely escaped from?
Yeorang is the only one who can save my son's life.
What's the meaning of this?
The queen wishes to see you.
YEORANG / Hodong's Aunt King Daemushin's Sister
Where is she now?
Goguryeo's army can't even track a woman?
Your Majesty.
Don't say a thing.
l don't care even if l go down in history as a tyrant.
l don't care if they call me a lunatic who killed his own wife!
l'm doing this not to protect Hodong
but to prevent bloodshed from sweeping the kingdom.
lf anyone tries to protect Maeseolsu
he'll answer with his death.
Your Majesty.
My goodness...
Princess please help me.
Queen.
Princess two lives are about to be lost.
Please save us.
