Your Majesty!
Gungnae Fortress fell into rebel hands.
What happened to Muhyul?
Why don't you have a seat?
It now belongs to you.
Don't show such insolence.
We still don't know how the people will react to all this,
so I shall not forgive anyone acting with imprudence.
- Understood? - Yes!
You may all leave.
Their troops might be after us.
We must leave now.
Your Highness.
This can't be.
How can we abandon the capital, and flee to Jolbon?
What is Jolbon?
Haemyeong's spirit drenches that land.
We can't go back there after such a miserable defeat.
As for myself, not even living up to the title my brothers passed onto me,
someone who ran away to save himself.
I can't forgive what I've done.
Your Highness.
You must bury all that deep within your heart, and go back.
The heavens are making you go through this ordeal for a reason.
You have His Majesty to protect,
and people who have faith in you.
Let us swiftly go back to Jolbon, make all preparations,
and win back our capital.
- Nunim. - What happened?
I rummaged the entire capital, but there are no traces of Yeojin.
What am I supposed to do now?
Where on earth did that boy go?
Nunim. Abate your anxiety, and go back to the palace for now.
How can you say that?!
How can I meet Baegeuk without knowing where Yeojin is?!
I shall find Yeojin whatever it takes, so you must get a hold of yourself.
If we don't act now, we might be forced to give up everything to Baegeuk.
I bid you welcome.
Are you indisposed in any way, Your Majesty?
Why would Her Majesty have anything to complain about?
We are now serving another ruler, so it is clear that throne belongs to you.
But...
I must make one thing clear.
And what would that be?
You must keep your promise, that of making Yeojin the new King.
You must be fully aware this grandiose endeavor wouldn't have even started,
without Her Majesty's and my support.
We shall let you lead, but it is time you relinquish the throne to Prince Yeojin.
Relinquish?!
And where is the man whom I shall relinquish this throne to?
I said bring Prince Yeojin right here in front of me!
- He is now indisposed... - We all know very well...
that Prince Yeojin is not in the palace now.
Prince Yeojin joined Muhyul and attacked those who apprehended the King.
And it was the same Prince Yeojin who told Muhyul everything!
Tha... That's impossible!
Prince Yeojin is in Jolbon Fortress, at the moment.
He was severely injured during the hostilities,
so he might be wandering on the path to the netherworld as we speak.
You never know, the Grim Reaper might have welcomed him already.
Be silent!
How dare you show such insolence in my presence?!
You still don't understand the situation?!
Do you understand I'm trying to restrain myself from beheading you?!
If you wish to cross that door into survival,
shut that haughty gob of yours and leave!
We must find Yeojin.
We can't keep sitting here.
Then... do you wish to head for Jolbon?
Didn't he just say Yeojin is on the brink of dissolution?
The rebel troops are watching us closely, how can we escape?
Don't fruitlessly provoke Baegeuk, and try to remain calm.
If anything happens to Yeojin, what is the use of surviving for me?
How can I keep on living after abandoning my own flesh and blood?
Yeojin!
Yeojin!
Your Highness!
You don't know how worried we were about you.
How is Yeojin?
He's critical.
Your Majesty. His Highness has arrived.
You survived.
The wind is too cold. Why don't you go back to your quarters?
Your Majesty.
In my heart...
there is no longer any place left to bury other sons of mine.
What can I do now?
He will regain his senses.
Yeojin will wake up for sure.
I was foolish.
I should have been more cautious.
I couldn't even realize how far Baegeuk's greed was leading,
and fell for my own hauteur.
I should be blamed instead.
It was I who proposed this war,
and I asked you to entrust everything to me as well.
I was never able to convince all the chieftains ignoring and belittling me.
All I thought about was winning this war,
and gaining their approval, or punishing them for their misdeeds.
That rage burning inside me...
blinded my path,
and caused all this.
- Because of me... - Speak no more.
Are you believing that all we went through happened because of your fate?
It is nothing but nonsense.
There is no way that is the reason.
I still have not given up.
Even after losing everything and being driven to Jolbon,
I still haven't thrown away my expectations and faith in you.
Do you really...
trust me, Father?
The heavens...
said I will perish because of you,
but haven't you rescued me twice from the claws of demise?
Father...
I shall not give up,
so you must never lose confidence.
Understood?
I escorted her.
How are Yeojin's conditions?
You must save Yeojin.
Should anything happen to him,
His Majesty would be shocked beyond repair.
Milady.
Don't give up on Yeojin, I beg you.
