- Episode 1 -
- The Chronicles of Baekje -
- 37 BC, Jolbon Fortress, Goguryeo (current Liaoning) -
Baekje's long history began in Goguryeo.
The year 37 BC. Jumong proclaims Jolbon as the capital....
of his newly-founded kingdom, Goguryeo.
- Soseono - (Goguryeo Founder Jumong's 2nd Consort)
Behind the foundation of Jumong's Goguryeo...
was the influence of the tribe led by Soseono, the Sono.
Yuri!
Here...
Rise.
Father.
Yuri!
Good.
But the alliance between Jumong and Soseono did not last long,
for he might have gained Goguryeo thanks to her efforts,
but Soseono had always been too burdensome a presence for him.
- Yuri - (Jumong's son, to be Goguryeo's 2nd Ruler)
Father!
Take your leave!
You...
If you have eyes to see, take a good look.
Do not try to enrage me!
While my sons' bodies were being pierced by arrows and spears,
what was your son Yuri doing?
Soseono!
While Yuri was idling away in luxury and leisure at the Buyeo Royal Palace,
my sons took up arms and joined the war effort alongside you,
- Biryu & Onjo (Soseono's sons) -
helping the foundation of this country.
Is that not right?
Your Highness spoke the truth!
Shut your gobs!
- Jumong (aka Chumo, Goguryeo's Founder) -
Say whatever you wish, but this country belongs to Chumo!
And hence it shall be Yuri's country!
Goguryeo does not solely belong to you.
Does it?!
Are you telling me that Goguryeo is not mine?
[*aka Yeontabal]
This Goguryeo of ours belongs to my father, Yeontachwibal*,
to me, Soseono,
my sons, Biryu and Onjo,
[*one of the five founding tribes of Goguryeo]
and to all the courtiers and loyal subjects of the Sono* tribe I lead,
people who staked their lives and helped you bring forth its foundation.
So live up to your oath.
The promise that you would in due time abdicate the throne to my son.
Soseono!
What heroine.
Indeed, Soseono brims with heroic courage!
However,
Goguryeo's crown prince is Yuri.
Your Majesty.
Just as two heroes cannot grace the same sky,
how could I share the Royal berth with you?
And that is why I hereby proclaim...
that Soseono is no longer Goguryeo's Royal Consort!
That you cannot be Chumo's wife!
Father!
These are the nuptial offerings your father Yeontachwibal gave me.
And these are yours.
Fine...
I shall leave.
I shall fulfill your wish and leave this entire Goguryeo to you.
I, Soseono,
shall leave my beloved Goguryeo,
leave my Jolbon,
my homeland, Sono,
and all my subjects.
Your Highness!
Ohh Ohh!
However...
Open your eyes and behold.
Behold at what I and my sons will achieve.
Do not bring infamy upon our land!
Yuri, you bear witness as well.
How my sons Biryu and Onjo will transcend your country's every achievement.
A thousand or even more generations may pass,
but one day my descendants will trample upon Goguryeo with all their might.
Soseono did not leave Goguryeo alone.
Subjects of the Sono tribe and countless other Goguryeo people followed her.
They endured scorching heat and chilling cold, heavy downpours and snowstorms,
and after a mere eighteen months from their departure,
their southward advance reached Ungni River.
- 18 BC, Buaak (current Mt. Samgak, Seoul) -
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Mother...
Yes...
It is the kind of grandiose water course we could never witness in Goguryeo.
- Ungni River (current Han River) -
Never before have I witnessed such resplendent, wondrous gift of nature.
Let us build our country here,
and erect our capital on these lustrous and glittering shores.
[*lit. resplendent land, Baekje's old name]
We will call our nation Balkji*.
And that is how Soseono founded Baekje, along the Ungni River.
Her second son, Onjo, was proclaimed the first ever Baekje ruler,
after which Soseono was posthumously christened as "State Grandmother,"
becoming Baekje people's spiritual leader.
- 341, Michuhol (current Incheon) -
- Baekje's Royal family was the Buyeo clan, a clear homage to their Buyeo roots. -
- Historical records often used Yeo (Yu in Chinese) alone to define them, -
- and with the modern surname-name separation having little meaning in the era, -
- characters in this show might often use "Yeogu" despite it being "Buyeo Gu," and so on -
- Horo River (current Imjin River) -
Your Highness!
Prince Yeogu!
Your Highness!
Wait, the young master is here. Young Master Jinseung.
Your Highness.
I was just looking for one more hand, glad you came.
How can you squander your time here, with Hanseong so close?
Look at how he handles this precious salt...
Turn the boat around.
You need to participate in the State Grandmother's ceremony!
- Hanseong Royal Palace - (Capital of Hanam Wirye Seong/Hanseong Baekje)
- Queen Hae Sosul - (King Biryu's 1st Consort)
Your Majesty.
And Yeogu?
- Buyeo Chan (Crown Prince) & Buyeo San -
Seems like he left for Horo River from Michuhol.
How can he not even come visit his own mother?!
- Royal Consort Jin Saha - (King Biryu's 2nd Consort, Yeogu's Mother)
And how could a criminal dare to set foot past the Royal Palace's gates?
You really are not going to Hanseong?
Let's go.
Hyungnim.
- Buyeo Gu - (to be King Geunchogo, King Biryu's son)
Is that a place I could visit at my own discretion?
Without His Majesty's consent,
should this criminal violate such solemn ceremony with his presence,
wouldn't that old cur's rabid fury make him collapse?
- Jin Seung - (Councilor Jin Jeong's Son)
Still, for how much longer will you keep trading salt?
- Payoon - (Buyeo Gu's Confidant)
You seem to enjoy wasting your time asking useless questions?!
- Bokgu Geom - (Buyeo Gu's Confidant)
I have dreamed of serving you as a Baekje man of arms from day one.
You could follow Jinseung, then.
Seems that trading salt is up to you and I now.
Let's go, Payoon.
Yes.
- Hurrah for His Majesty! - Hurrah!
- King Biryu (11th Baekje ruler) - (not to be confused with Soseono's son)
Yeogu might have committed great infamy against Baekje,
but it brings me great distress to witness his mother so fervently long for him.
May you bless him with your benevolence and summon him.
- Give me the cloth. - Yes.
Father.
- Lord Heukgang Sahul (Buyeo Gu's Grandfather) - - Jin Jeong (Councilor, leading figure in the Jin clan backing King Biryu) -
Pardon my belated arrival, Sire.
Most gracious State Grandmother.
What country is our Baekje?
You led our tribe and founded Goguryeo with Jumong the Great,
and finally started our motherland's glorious legacy.
- South Pyeongyang Fortress (Goguryeo) -
Is not Goguryeo's continued domination of the great north...
just one of the vile pretexts they use to repeatedly belittle us?
- Sayu - (King Gogukwon, 16th Goguryeo Ruler)
Soldiers of Goguryeo!
Twenty-six years have passed since they broke their promise...
[*the last post-Gojoseon commandery of the Han, current Hwanghae Province]
of meeting in parley, after we together repelled enemy forces in Daifang*.
But now His Majesty shall meet Sayu of Goguryeo in a covenant,
so we humbly beseech your support.
Thirty thousand of your descendants were sacrificed...
to lay destruction upon the Han usurpers of the Daifang Commandery.
Your servant and grandson Biryu...
shall demand the land which to us belongs at all cost.
Never again shall I or Baekje tolerate Goguryeo's contempt!
Heed my words!
Who does the Daifang territory belong to?
To Your Majesty!
From Sabi River* to Myeonak**,
[*Yeseong River **Mt. Myeorak]
who does that land belong to?
It belongs to Baekje!
And who did Goguryeo originally belong to?
To Her Highness the State Grandmother!
Indeed!
Baekje belongs to our State Grandmother Soseono!
To Onjo the Great!
And to me, Biryu!
Hurrah for His Majesty! Hurrah for His Majesty!
Twenty-six years earlier,
the armies of King Biryu of Baekje and King Micheon of Goguryeo join forces,
repelling the very last commandery of Han China, Daifang.
Baekje and Goguryeo pledge to split the territory,
- King Micheon (Sayu's father, 15th Goguryeo Ruler) -
but King Micheon ultimately breaks his promise.
With the goal of reclaiming the old Daifang territory,
King Biryu spent long years of preparation.
And the crucial turning point which convinced him to undertake all this...
[orange: Goguryeo - light blue: Baekje]
[*yellow: Yan]
was the conflict between Goguryeo and the Yan over control of Liaodong.
His speculation being that Goguryeo wouldn't be able...
to so quickly mobilize troops away from the northern front.
- Dongmyeong Hall, Hanseong Palace -
Would Goguryeo truly renounce the old Daifang territory?
I wonder if a covenant is the answer...
Were you in Sayu's position, would you renounce it?
Ahh... I am sure you would.
Seeing how fervently you despise war...
San.
I was not trying to imply anything.
Gambling debts are often written-off at a year's end,
but if it's a debt that is over twenty years old,
would Sayu truly agree to settle it?
Could debts between countries ever compare with personal ones?
And should negotiations break down, what do you plan to do?
I am fully prepared for the aftermath.
So will you wage war?
There is no other solution.
Those Baekje minions are deploying troops towards Gomori Fortress.
- South Pyeongyang Fortress, Council Hall -
Would that not imply that they are fully prepared to engage in war against us?
- Jobul - (Guksang, Top Military Courtier)
I see... But are you sure?
So in lieu of raging war,
you suggest we renounce the entire Daifang territory?
Baekje is not to be underestimated.
Baekje is hardly a daunting foe.
It is Biryu that concerns me.
How about the Yan?
With troops deployed up north against the Yan, will you halve our forces?
[*Border between Yan and Goguryeo near Jolbon]
Can we really deploy troops away from Modigol* and fight Baekje as well?
So how about this?
Slaying Biryu.
Engaged in war with the Yan, Sayu could never afford to spread out his forces.
With Biryu out of the picture, Baekje will be in shambles.
For Biryu is Baekje, and Baekje is nothing without him.
We shall vanquish Goguryeo at all cost.
This covenant must consign Biryu to his demise.
You suggest we assassinate a foreign ruler at a covenant?
We would be scorned upon as far as the Seven Seas.
Guksang.
You know what?
Derision is not what daunts me,
it is losing territory that does.
Even if I had to sever my limbs to protect it,
I would never share that land with Biryu.
Mohe troops will be entrusted security of this covenant meeting.
So how would you manage to slay Biryu?
Do not ask me, and think for yourselves.
Let us start using this for the sake of Goguryeo.
[*tributary of the Imjin River. Military Border b/w Baekje & Goguryeo]
I shall head to Jeumeun Yeoul*.
Summon Mohe chieftain Fu Gantai.
It will not be Mohe troops in charge of security, but Goguryeo ones.
- Hanseong Royal Palace, Dongmyeong Hall -
Were you not sleeping?
To wage war, you need brave men of arms.
Which is why Your Majesty's sons should take the vanguard and boost morale.
Yeohwi would be perfect.
Neither Yeochan nor Yeosan would be suitable,
so summon Yeogu instead.
You might have not seen him in many moons,
but he has grown into a fine man.
His bow and blade are ready to aid Baekje's great cause.
He is just as remarkable a man of arms as Your Majesty.
Yet, he still remains nothing but a salt trader.
With Yeochan's investiture as crown prince,
what threat could Yeogu possibly pose?
The day when Yeochan inherits my crown,
Baekje enjoys prosperity, and our people chant his name in jubilation.
The day when the notion that Yeogu might be fit for the throne is forgotten...
is the day when he shall once again set foot on this soil.
[*Biryu's childhood name]
Gutae*.
If I ordered Yeogu to sell salt, so shall be his calling.
He needn't become a man of arms, and neither should he.
That old cur is completely deranged!
- Wanwoldang (Hae Sosul's Quarters) -
And I thought providence should have consigned him to the Hades already...
Without Yeogu's aid,
would Baekje meet its downfall, would it be vanquished?
It is time we summon him back.
He cannot go on living as a mere salt trader.
Have you already forgotten his mother's conception dream?
[*founder of Jolbon Buyeo, not to be confused with Jumong]
Clamoring that Yeogu will gain the throne, that he is a loyal vassal of King Dongmyeong*,"
and must be proclaimed crown prince. Don't tell me you forgot such chicanery?!
It is all in the past.
Your Highness.
Do not so nonchalantly ignore human nature.
To avert future quandaries, the root of evil must be eradicated.
I see Yeogu has not been blessed with fortune, being subjected to such disdain.
Half-brothers are no brethren.
On the very day you ascend to the throne...
Yeogu must be eliminated at all cost.
Mother.
Do not expect such foolish vainglory from me.
I shall never bring harm to Yeogu.
Aigoo... I never intended to come here for this...
Enough with those plaints.
Our friend down there can hear you.
Yes... yes.
Prince Yeohwi!
Yeogu!
Hyungnim!
Should I blame this welcome visit on too many days of savorless food?
- Buyeo Hwi (2nd son of Haebi) -
My brother, Yeogu!
You have grown even stronger than the last time we met.
- Jeumeun Yeoul - (Military Border between Baekje & Goguryeo)
- Yeoul Fortress - (Above Jeumeun Yeoul)
How exciting.
Fishing, laundering and swimming.
Discipline is in tatters. It's an utter mess.
If they could not even enjoy that,
how do you think they would endure life thousands of ri away from home?
You cannot take that away from them.
But why the sudden need for so much salt?
We need to feed our soldiers.
That much salt would last them a few years even if they dined on it raw.
War against Goguryeo is drawing near.
- Jeumeun Yeoul, Goguryeo Encampment -
He is His Majesty the ruler of Goguryeo.
Pay your respects.
So you would be Fu Gantai? Chieftain of the Heishu Mohe.
That would be me.
Do the Mohe render service to Goguryeo, or Baekje?
Our calling in the upcoming covenant meeting...
- Fu Gantai (Mohe Chieftain) -
is to ensure the safety of both rulers.
Kneel.
I already have paid my respects!
So what will be of more benefit to the Mohe, serving Goguryeo or Baekje?
The Mohe people refuse to be embroiled in your murderous complots!
You shall use your Mohe ancestry to penetrate defenses,
and slay Baekje ruler Biryu.
The future of your Mohe people solely depends on you.
So is it Goguryeo, or Baekje?
You can only choose one side.
I plan to let you join us in battle.
It has nothing to do with me.
Why would that be the case?
Meritorious service would aid your cause.
And becoming the brave commander Baekje needs would be a great start.
Don't you want to be acknowledged by your father?
He shall forever resent me no matter what.
-I will keep living as if I was never born. -Yeogu!
Don't you know better than me?
What did His Majesty tell you ten years past,
[*aka Yoseo]
when he gave you orders to banish me all the way to Liaoxi*?
Did he not order me to spend the rest of my life as a salt trader?
So are you going to keep bemoaning your fate to the very end?
I suppose it is all that providence had in mind for me.
What are you Baekje pigs doing out of your sty?
Baekje pigs?!
Are you not like dirt fallen off Goguryeo's feet?
You rotten son of a...
Boys!
Everyone, throw!
You are in His Majesty's presence... Make them pay!
Commander.
No need to cause unnecessary clamor before the meeting.
What is that supposed to mean, Your Excellency?
It is exactly before the meeting that Baekje vermin should be taught a lesson.
I shall let you handle it.
Yes, Sire.
Summon the troops back to their post.
There must be no confrontation before the meeting.
- Yes. - Commander!
Commander, the enemy has deployed the cavalry.
Those deranged fools...
The cavalry for so little?!
I must join the fight.
Enjoy selling your salt, Hyungnim.
Letting them be swept away would not be too convenient now, would it?
Your Highness!
Wait for me, Your Highness!
Yeogu!
I will lure the cavalry away, so have your troops fall back.
We cannot violate the Yeoul... Yeogu!
Trail them!
Sire!
Those Baekje varmints violated the Yeoul.
- Escort His Majesty to Gomori Fortress! - Yes.
Are you telling me I should flee because of a few paltry Baekje knaves?
Your Highness!
Sire!
Protect His Majesty!
Your Highness.
Don't look back and gallop!
Always making a fuss...
Was it not poisoned?
So what if it wasn't? They still hurt like hell!
I have never been pierced by an arrow before.
I laud your efforts.
I sent Jinseung to the palace.
He shall convey to His Majesty how you dealt with those Goguryeo men,
and saved our troops.
You are wasting your time.
Is there anyone who could shoot arrows at Sayu other than you?
I did not know that man was Sayu.
Whether you did or not, it doesn't matter.
Father will allow you to take the vanguard.
- Go Chisu (Goguryeo Chief Marshal) -
He is King Biryu's fourth son, a knave called Yeogu.
Yeogu?!
Then...
It must be the one who was banished to Liaoxi and forced to trade salt.
Yeogu?
Sire!
May you reproach your humble servant for his misdeeds!
After today, I have one more reason to slay Biryu.
Go serve Biryu in the netherworld.
For all your fellow Mohe shall soon follow you!
Is it Baekje, or Goguryeo?
If I must choose one and one only,
serving Your Majesty will bring the Mohe survival.
Laudable.
On the day of Biryu's demise, Saori Fortress will be yours.
- Hanseong Royal Palace -
Yeogu did it?
Just like snakes bite and wasps sting,
looks like Yeogu finally did himself proud.
How could you compare him to snakes and wasps?
His Highness staked his life for this.
- Hae Nyeong (Councilor, Leading figure of the Hae clan backing Buyeo Jun) -
I am afraid this might negatively impact the covenant meeting.
Should negotiations break down over such trifling matters,
it would only mean Sayu's repute was but a mere excuse to wear that crown.
Should we not summon Yeogu and reward him?
Send the hawk to summon Yeogu at once.
Tell him to hasten.
Yes, Father.
Let us head to Wirye Palace.
- Wirye Palace (Buyeo Jun's stronghold) -
We need Wirye Palace's support in this war.
But it shan't be easy to obtain it.
And that is why I was thinking of having your son and...
Buyeojun's daughter Yeohwa join in conjugal ties.
Why, do you oppose it?
It surely would be burdensome having Buyeojun as an in-law,
but I shall follow Your Majesty's grandiose vision.
- Wirye Palace -
Your humble servant had to importune Your Majesty all the way here.
So you could have joined us at the State Grandmother's ceremony.
You must pardon me, but old age is finally getting the better of me.
Is the mighty Lord of Wirye Palace already bound for a saunter to the stone tomb?
- Buyeo Jun - (Lord of Wirye Palace, to be King Gye)
I would be neglecting my duties as your humble servant...
if I departed for the netherworld before Your Majesty did.
Summon your daughter Yeohwa.
I came with propitious tidings.
And you even bless my daughter with your boundless benevolence.
Your grace is immeasurable, Sire.
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
You should not be here at this time.
Follow me, Your Highness.
Who will ever worry about harvesting in Wirye Palace if I don't?
Come on and join me.
His Majesty is here.
He even brought you a groom, so that you can join in conjugal ties.
His Majesty did that?
Yes.
Hurry up.
You must get changed and go meet them.
Her Highness urged you to hasten.
It has such a pleasant scent.
- Lady Sohae (Buyeo Jun's Consort) -
Now they force a contract marriage upon you as well?!
If I had any say in the matter, I would rather have you wed with Haegeon.
- Buyeo Hwa - (Buyeo Jun's Daughter)
If marrying that man will benefit our clan,
it is my duty to marry him.
Anything else to show us?
Is that all you can do?
I could do something with the bow, or even diving if you prefer.
- Seok Rahae (Buyeo Min's Wife) - - Buyeo Min (Buyeo Jun's Eldest Son) -
And is there any man in Baekje who would not be capable of that?
I could play a tune... Would you like that?
So how about him?
Someone so gifted in musical and martial arts...
is a much too generous bequest for someone like me.
Then, would my sons be more fitting candidates?
Are the crown prince and Yeosan to your liking?
If I must marry into the Jin clan,
His Excellency Councilor Jinjeong would be most befitting.
And if I had to choose any spouse within the palace,
I would gleefully sit beside you as your consort, Sire.
I already am blessed with two consorts, so what dilemma!
I cannot oblige our angelic Yeohwa with a yes.
Forgive me.
May you abate such unconscionable concerns, Sire.
Meseems providence neglected me.
I could have become in-laws with the Lord of Wirye Palace?!
Your humble servant would have enjoyed even greater blessing, Sire.
I could have become Your Majesty's father-in-law...
How could you let her so haughtily belittle you?
We cannot let the Lord of Wirye Palace get away with this.
The real blessing is the fact Yeohwa was not born a man.
Buyeojun is truly blessed with fortune.
We must keep a close eye on whom he will choose as son-in-law.
Yes.
Your Highness, it was a wise decision.
Have you seen how that varmint from the Jin clan reacted?
It felt as satisfying as a swim in the Ungni River under the morning sun.
Your behavior was inexcusable.
We are dealing with Biryu here.
It is only because we were dealing with His Majesty that all this concluded so amiably.
Yeohwa!
What help would joining the Jin clan or His Majesty's princes in conjugal ties give you?
I shall not let His Majesty inveigle me with these vile subterfuges.
There is no suitable match for my daughter in this Baekje of ours indeed!
Just like Soseono became our state grandmother,
our Yeohwa will become the founding mother of Wirye Palace.
Reclaim the throne Biryu so spuriously appropriated,
the State Grandmother will bless us with providence!
You are flattering me.
- Ungni River -
I can imagine the thirst.
Or it might be because you're so whelmed by the prospect of meeting your father.
Was jesting at my expenses what you followed us for?
I'm sure he will save a position for me?!
All I ask is to escape this life of salt trading.
How could you be so devoid of ambitions? You know your place is on the battlefield.
How does it feel to set foot on Hanseong soil again?
I guess I lived long enough to witness this land once again.
Mother must have aged by now?!
It has been a decade already.
Much too long.
Take this opportunity to let go of all your resentment towards Father.
Let's go.
Let us meet our father, and drink the entire night away!
Sire.
Your humble servant Yeohwi brought Yeogu as instructed.
Criminal Yeogu answers Your Majesty's summoning.
It has been a long,
long time since this prodigal son was blessed by Your Majesty's presence.
Father!
So how did it feel to pierce Sayu's flesh?
Was it as gratifying as being the crown prince, or wearing my crown?
Do you even realize how many years of strenuous efforts...
the crown prince and I went through to make this meeting happen?
I could not bear to see our troops being so heinously slaughtered.
And who ever asked you to worry about such matters?
Those Goguryeo varmints were the first to violate the Yeoul!
Not to mention the fact they even deployed their cavalry.
Leave us alone.
Sire!
Yeogu did nothing wrong.
Take your leave as well.
Must I repeat myself?
How dare you bring infamy to Baekje and commit such harebrained tomfoolery?
Were you perchance looking for a reward?
If you wish to bestow one upon me, I shall gleefully accept it.
Had Yeohwi Hyungnim shot that arrow,
would you have reacted this way?
What did I tell you ten years past, when I sent you to Liaoxi?
You no longer remember why you were banished?
I recall it vividly.
And that is why just as instructed, as ordered by you,
I spent my life producing and trading salt.
And you still dare take up arms!
I banished you to Liaoxi for a reason, and you dare practice martial arts?
Were it not for this, I still would have kept pitying you.
Trading salt all over the four corners meant dealing with bandits and vandals daily,
would my demise at their hands have brought you solace?
If such was your destiny, there is nothing I could do to stop it.
What did I ever do wrong?
Don't you dare rise before your ruler!
Am I not your son?
Am I not the offspring you and my mother together brought into this world?
Am I not what your seed gave life to?
You... You deranged knave!
Is it my fault Mother had that conception dream?
Should I be blamed if the divine Natu fell into my mother's embrace?
Do you know how many sleepless nights I spent,
wondering when I will ever see my mother, my brethren again?
Shut that vile gob!
For ten years!
For ten years I have silently endured all this.
And I believe ten years more than suffice.
I feel wronged.
So much I could die.
If you feel so unfairly persecuted you could die,
then perish you shall!
Do you fear me that much?
Are you that afraid I will devour Yeochan Hyungnim?
I have no interest in becoming crown prince myself.
Go ask any rat inhabiting these dwellings instead.
You knave!
Yes...
Just slay me!
Do it now!
I shall die right here and now.
If a life of contempt is all that awaits me,
I shall rather perish by your blade!
Fine.
You are no longer a prince.
You are hereby banished from Hanseong and Baekje territory.
As long as I grace this earth,
as long as the crown prince is alive, you shall never set foot on this soil again!
Should you dare defy my command and come back,
I shall behead you before your mother and all our people,
and throw your spurious pate into the Ungni River!
What did I do to deserve this cruelty?
I am your son, too.
I, Yeogu!
Am your son!
I am your son!
Father...
- This drama was adapted from Lee Moonyeol's Original Novel -
Who will bring me the head of Biryu?
I have no father.
Baekje has no use for you now.
What can you do, when you give birth to such perfidious children?
How could you let him steal the throne from us?
People don't know how cruel they can become until faced with the inevitable.
Come back at all cost.
I can't allow Prince Yeogu to marry my daughter.
His Majesty will be in danger anyhow.
The Mohe are conspiring with Goguryeo!
Just like your father laughed in the face of loyalty,
you betrayed your mandate of heaven!
You infamous knaves!
Would you call this infamy as well?
It's a trap by Goguryeo!
