I thought you wanted to create a world for servants.
Was your cause to collude with the queen and become a loyal dog?
What is your loyalty and cause?
Do you know how many innocent people died because of loyalty to a royal order?
Oppressed people don't have any cause.
Were you an inferior person who didn't know what loyalty is?
What?
No person who committed treason ever saved people.
If you abandoned the cause and took the queen's side for a grudge,
you are just a leader of bandits.
If you insult me and Gwimun, I will kill you right now.
Stop it!
Did you forget that we fought together at Nangbiseong?
What is wrong with you?
You guarded each other's lives with those swords.
If you're going to kill each other, kill me first.
Go ahead and kill me!
If you want me to pay for not being able to protect Gwimun, I will.
I will pay for it with my life after I suppress the traitors.
I will kill you before I put the prince on the throne.
Come back to Seorabeol with me. We have to suppress the traitors.
How long are you going to stay here out of guilt?
Give me some time to think.
I know how you feel.
You can't hesitate when it comes to loyalty being divided.
Weakness will kill you.
Your judgment will be lost if you hesitate.
You won't be able to make any decision.
I hope you won't do that like I did.
Why did you take the queen's side?
Do you really want revenge for a grudge?
If I wanted revenge, I would have already killed
the king, the princess and your father.
Then why?
What made you take the queen's side?
Do you want to take the throne?
I want to change the world, not take the throne.
The prince must take the throne.
I don't care what happens as long as that happens.
Join me to put the prince on the throne.
Your loyalty will be preserved and the people can be saved.
What if I refuse?
I won't forgive anyone who gets in the way of the prince taking the throne.
One of us will have to die.
I hope it doesn't come to that.
What did you do to me?
You have affection for Chunchu who is a descendant of a dethroned king and
you want to put the princess on the throne.
I am only trying to protect the laws of the Divine Land.
Aren't you afraid of the heavens?
I will call a court meeting and expose your crime of treason.
You must not realize your situation. The medicine must have worn off.
Give him his medicine.
I will not take this evil medicine.
I will not forgive you.
It's too late.
I have a royal order stating you will abdicate the throne to the prince.
There is nothing you can do.
His Majesty isn't feeling well. He can't see you, so you should leave.
I became the court leader, but I have a bad feeling.
The queen captured the families of servants who sided with the princess.
What can we do? It's spilt water.
Just be lucky our families are alright.
Why did you lock us up?
I will see the queen and prove my innocence.
Hey!
Trust the princess and remain calm.
Buddha won't let this baby die unjustly.
Mother, how do you feel?
I'm alright.
I wonder if Beopmin got away.
Don't worry.
You know him. He'll be alright.
The pungwolju's son fled.
He couldn't have crossed the border.
Capture all boys wandering about alone.
Yes, sir.
You shouldn't be walking about by yourself.
Come with me.
Aunt Bohui!
Beopmin, you're alright.
Mother and both grandmothers were captured.
Don't worry.
They're alright.
They won't think you would return. You should be safe here for a while.
If the soldiers find you, show them this.
If you say you're Gwimun, you should be alright.
Did Bihyeong join the queen?
I'm not sure who is a loyal servant and who is a traitor yet.
I don't want the help of a traitorous bandit like Bihyeong.
What are you doing? She saved your life.
Bihyeong is not a traitor.
There is no way such an affectionate person can be a traitor.
This isn't the time for loyalty.
You have to survive.
Yusin hasn't decided yet?
He is still in pain because of Gwimun.
I'm sure he will return and lead in suppressing the traitors.
Trust him.
The families of servants who were loyal to me were captured.
If this lasts long, the servants will begin to waver.
That's what the queen wants.
She can't harm anyone until the coronation.
I have to see my father.
What?
The queen has a royal order that the king is abdicating the throne.
I have to see him and hear that the royal order is false.
Is there a way to enter the royal shrine?
If you are discovered, they could kill you.
Do you really want to enter a tiger's den?
I'm prepared for anything.
If I don't get a clear intention from father,
there is no justification for fighting the queen.
If anything happens, I'll signal. You must save the princess.
Don't worry. We'll protect her with our lives.
Who's there?
The queen said to bring this wine to His Majesty.
What do you think you are doing?
The heavens will be in rage if you touch a god's daughter.
Go on in.
You have to see His Majesty alone.
I will wait for you here.
Your Majesty, the queen sent wine.
Go away!
I will not drink a drop of something a traitor sent.
Father.
Deokman, how did you...
Please lower your voice.
Deokman.
You look terrible.
I couldn't prevent the treason because I'm lacking.
Did you really intend to abdicate the throne?
Of course not.
I was drugged. It's a false order.
The throne was taken from me. How will I face the former kings?
It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself.
You are still the ruler of this country.
I don't qualify to be a king.
But I can't let the queen decide who sits on the throne.
I will not let her.
What are you doing?
You risked your life to come here.
I'm going to leave the fate of this nation to you.
Father.
The queen didn't send any wine.
A Gwimun soldier came with a god's daughter.
It's a spy sent by the pungwolju
Capture them!
Is His Majesty alright?
He isn't in good health, but he's alright.
We have to get out of here.
There are spies!
Find the man and woman who brought wine to the king!
Stop there.
I know it's you, pungwolju.
Chabi, why...
Hurry.
The soldiers will be here soon.
Take the back passage.
Don't let anyone get away!
We must find them!
- Tell the queen. - Yes, sir.
Leave them to me. Take the princess and go.
Chabi, I won't forget this.
Go before more soldiers come.
Princess, get on my back.
You disobeyed master's order. What will you do?
It's my doing. I'll handle it.
Yusin.
Have you returned?
I've been waiting for you.
Rebel forces are coming. We have to get the princess out of here.
Who started a revolt?
You murdered innocent Gwimun and won't recognize a royal order.
What makes you any different from them?
What are you talking about?
Move out of the way.
I will kill the princess for colluding with Baekje and save this country.
Wake up!
If you don't get out of the way, I will kill you first.
You can't do this!
Are you planning to join Bihyeong and commit treason?
You're no different from the queen who wants power.
Princess.
No...
No!
Chunchu.
Princess.
What did you talk about with the princess?
Why did you bite your finger? What did you do with your blood?
It doesn't matter what you talked about with the princess.
Nobody will believe anything as long as I have the royal seal.
Leave.
I don't want to talk to a traitor.
Fine, I'll do as you wish.
Nail the door closed and don't even give him any water.
Yes, Your Highness.
Princess, I trust you.
I am going to give a royal order for all servants in Silla
to suppress Seungman's treason.
Don't waver and follow my orders.
The queen has a royal order of the king abdicating the throne.
Your order could cause further confusion.
You should negotiate with the queen.
I will not negotiate with traitors.
I saw His Majesty last night and clearly heard his intentions.
He was drugged to write that order. It is a false order.
Anyone who suggests negotiating with the queen will be punished.
The king's word won't convince the fortress lords and people.
Besides, the queen has a royal order with the royal seal.
Father bit his finger and wrote this in blood.
The royal order saying I restored the queen to the throne and
abdicated the throne to the prince is false.
I am giving Deokman the authority of regent.
Loyal servants, accept her as regent.
Suppress the dethroned queen and save this nation.
What has greater power than the king's writing in blood?
As authority given to me by His Majesty,
I order that the queen and traitors be executed.
Obey this order.
Hwarangdo accepts your regency with full loyalty.
We will suppress the traitors.
I speak for the court and accept your regency with loyalty.
What?
Regency of the princess?
The prince's coronation is soon.
How can the king and princess do this?
The princess is going to meet Buddhist priest Wongwang and
be inaugurated for regency at Hwangnyongsa.
No. That cannot happen.
Ichan, attack Saryanggung and kill them all.
Yes, Your Highness.
Myorang, there is something you have to do.
Near Namcheongyo, Seorabeol
Enemy movement is suspicious.
- Battle formation. - Battle formation!
Do you have something to say to me?
I was wrong the other day.
Will you accept my apology?
If you're really sorry,
I will.
Beopmin.
What is it?
Can you find your way to Saryanggung?
With my eyes closed.
Give this to the pungwolju. It's very urgent.
You must get it to him.
Retreat to Saryanggung.
Get to Saryanggung and let them know.
Yes, sir.
Seorabeol is divided in half. They are fighting amongst themselves.
Isn't this the perfect chance to attack Silla?
Not yet.
Let them fight more.
We can wait until they're damaged and can't recover.
Did the princess leave for Hwangnyongsa?
She left through the west gate.
The rebel forces must think that she is still in the palace.
Don't worry.
I assigned soldiers along the way. She should be alright.
Chunchu!
Pungwolju!
Namcheongyo was breached.
The rebel forces will attack soon.
Battle formations! Shields in front. Archers in place.
Loyal soldiers of Silla, your loyalty will stop the rebellion and
protect the royal family and people of this nation.
His Majesty ordered regency to the princess.
The cause is ours!
You must not let the rebel forces enter this palace.
Protect it with your lives!
Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!
Hwarangdo will take the lead.
Proud Hwarangs, be the swords and shields of this nation.
Break through the enemy lines!
Beopmin.
Protect the pungwolju!
Father.
Beopmin!
Pungwolju!
Father.
Beopmin.
You must unify the Three Kingdoms.
You can't die.
Chunchu.
I knew you'd come...
Chunchu!
Father. Father!
Father!
Are you awake?
What happened?
Don't worry.
We drove them away thanks to Yusin.
Seohyeon drove them all the way to Namcheongyo.
That's good.
Your wound is deep.
You need to rest.
Beopmin, why did you come here?
What happened to your grandmother and mother?
I was hiding with aunt Bohui.
Sino said to give this to you.
This is...
What is it?
You have to get to Hwangnyongsa. The princess is in danger.
My father wrote this with his blood.
The dethroned queen took the royal seal.
If it is His Majesty's blood, the queen committed treason.
I would like you to send a message to Tang.
Please tell them the coronation is an usurpation of the throne.
The fate of this country depends on it.
I will make a decision after I see His Majesty.
We trust your insight.
We're in trouble.
Soldiers entered the temple. They're killing everyone.
Find the princess and the order written in the king's blood.
How dare you kill people at a sacred temple?
Just hand over the order written in blood and we will leave.
If you refuse, they will kill everyone and burn the temple.
As the regent of this country,
I will not give anything to a traitor who is trying to steal the throne.

Your lies have been exposed.
Why are you showing contempt with that tongue of yours?
Why are you killing weak women?
I'm going to be killed for treason anyway.
I'd rather die here as a sacrifice for victory.
The prince doesn't have the king's blood.
You switched the babies by stealing one from common people.
Take the hostages out of the capital. Kill them all and burn the royal shrine!
Bihyeong, you murdered His Majesty?
