Dare not go easy on me
because I am the King!

How will you cut down
the enemies like this?

The sword must move with soul,
not technique!

No use reading on
military tactics all night.

The problem is your heart.

You are
Chief of the Kunryongwe.

Show me true loyalty
from the heart.

Minister Kl, Lord CHO, and others
are gathered at Wonheung Temple.

What?

I think there's something big
going down, sir.

Lord Tae-Ahn is there, too.

I'm very grateful
for all your help.

Especially,

Lord Tae-Ahn for his willingness
to join our cause.

When the Emperor sees this...

it will be of great help
to Lord Kyungwon.

Lord Tae-Ahn.

You've done much
for our country.

Who's there?

Get down from your horse.

- Run, sir.
- Okay.

Your Majesty.

What happened?

He confessed everything, sire.

The Lord Kyungwon's
secret envoy had this.

Everyone who signed here
plotted to kill me?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What of the Queen's brother?

Lord Tae-Ahn also conspired
to enthrone Lord Kyungwon.

There's not one man I can trust.

I'll have a banquet in few days.

And cut all of their heads there.

But I'll not let Tae-Ahn die in
the banquet because of Queen.

You're going to kill him
in his house.

All rise for His Majesty the King.

You may all be seated.

I've arranged this banquet today...

to celebrate the victory of
our troops dispatched to Yuan.

Though they are fighting for
a foreign country...

they stand bravely at the front,
showing the valor of our army.

Tis comforting somewhat.

Now.

Let us drink to
our soldier's safe return!

Hail, our gracious King!

Check your weapons.

And remember
who you're assigned to.

Lord CHO, how about telling
His Majesty a good sentence?

What a good day!

No, I think
Minister Kl should do that.

Okay.

Your Majesty?

I, Kl Wong-Hong...

would like to say something
on this euphoric day.

I wish you to bear an heir
and live a long life, sire.

Thank you.
I wish you a long life as well.

Hail, my gracious King.

Now, let us all toast
to the King!

Long live the King!

Stop the music!

Your attention!

With Goryeo's fall
as a tributary state to Yuan...

I've endured much humiliation
and disgrace.

I trust you all feel
the same as I do.

But, within this room...

there are some who take pride
in being puppets to Yuan.

As our young men are dying
in the savage land...

they believe
it should be celebrated.

Here today!

I shall rid of all such traitors!

And set the court right!

Kill them!

Kill off every one of them!

Out of my way!

Your Majesty... Please...

Listen carefully.

I just executed
a group of conspirators.

But Lord Tae-Ahn was
also among them.

Pardon?

Your brother...

He was among
the group of collaborators.

What are you saying, sire?

Lord Tae-Ahn...

Chief HONG went to
execute him,now.

Chief HONG!

I am the Queen's brother!

Though
I may have done wrong...

how can the King have me killed?

Take the King's orders in stride,
like a royal family.

Chief HONG!

Why would I have signed it?

It's because I was worried
about her future.

For the sake of the Queen...

Please do not kill me.

I did what you want me to do.

He accepted it?

Yes.

Good job.

What happened to my brother?

Answer me.

Did you really kill my brother
with your own hands?

Lord Tae-Ahn is alive.

What?

He and his family are
headed for Yuan now

Is that true?

Yes.

Cover it.

No need to bring me his head.

Forgive me, sire.

Chief HONG...

Did he truly let
Lord Tae-Ahn go?

I saw with my own eyes, sire.

I've asked you both here...

to discuss and conclude
our postponed matter.

Things have stabilized.

So, I'd like to resume
the consummation.

What do you think, my Queen?

Why all of a sudden, sire?

I'm resuming what was postponed.
Why be so surprised?

But, your partner
will not be HONG Lim this time.

It's Seung-Ki.

The result was not good
with HONG Lim.

Seung-Ki is also one of my
most trusted men.

I hope you understand.

Have you gone mad, sir?

How can you humiliate me so?

This cannot be, Your Majesty.

Why are you doing this, sire?

HONG Lim...

Do you really not know why
I made such decision?

It's a royal order.

I will set
the consummation date soon.

Who is it?

Let's leave the palace.

Anywhere,
if we can leave the palace.

Let's run away from here!

Please calm down, Your Majesty.

Where do you want to go?
Yuan? Hide in the hills?

Ill follow you anywhere.

Take me away from here, please.

Please go back.

If he finds out you're here,
your life will be in danger.

It doesn't matter.

I have nothing more
to be afraid of now.

But, I am afraid.

Do not come for me again.

I will live only as
the King's subject from now on.

Your Majesty.

I deserve to die.

I was blinded by foolish desires
and betrayed and humiliated you.

This is the very sword
you granted me.

Please take my life with it.

I shall seek your forgiveness
in death.

You've given away something
more precious than life.

What good would it do
to take your life, now?

Has Chief HONG
retired to his room?

He is still
in the back garden, sire.

Luckily, she will be fine.

No need to worry, Your Majesty.

I will ask you just one thing.

Your liaisons with the Queen...

Was it all impulsive lust?

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Go serve at the border
in a few weeks.

It will help you forget about
everything here.

You didn't sleep all night.

Stay and rest.

Your tunes
have become rather dull.

Do it again.

Do you know where this is?

Where is it, sire?

I dreamt of hunting through
the Liao Dong plains with you.

It was so vivid,
I wanted to paint it.

Then that is me riding behind?

Why? Do you not like it?

Perhaps it would be better...

if I was shooting an arrow, too.

Now that you mention it,
that'll suit better..

Are you leaving tomorrow?

Yes, sire.

Our soldiers dispatched to Yuan
will be returning in two weeks.

I will hold a big banquet.

Why don't you leave
after that?

No, sire.

I will leave as scheduled.

Who is it?

Chief HONG?
It's me Bo-Duk.

What is it?

I have something urgent to tell you.

Go back.

I'm so sorry. Chief Hong.

I said Go back.

The Queen wants to see you.

I don't want to.

Please, just one time.

Please.

I cannot see her.

Just go.

But Chief...

The Queen has conceived.

It's been a long time.

I'm so sorry.

I was troubled whether to tell you
just before your departure.

Does His Majesty know?

I haven't told him yet.

I doubt he'll welcome
this child, now.

I fear it will
only harm the child.

No, Your Majesty.

The King will truly accept
the child as his own.

Please keep strong.

I shall be going, then.

HONG Lim.

Secretary HWANG?

Yes, Your Majesty?

Where are
the military tactic books stored?

You!

How could you humiliate
me like this!

And you call yourself a man!

What did you promise me?

You said you'll never
meet her again!

But...

How can you do this to me!

Queen.

What should I do with him?

That lewd fool!

What shall I do with him?

Say something!

'Tis all my fault, sire.

My affections for him
led me to seduce him.

Punish me instead, sire.

No, Your Majesty!

The Queen is without fault!

I sought her,
unable to fight my love for her.

Take my life, sire.

What?

Did I hear love?

Did you... say
you love the Queen?

Yes.

I love her.

Say it again.

Did you just say
you're in love with the Queen?

Yes.

I love the Queen.

You've gone mad with lust!

Sub-Chief!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Have him castrated!

But sire...

Cut it off at once!

Your Majesty...

What are you waiting for!
Cut it off!

Please, Your Majesty!

Kill me, Your Majesty!

Kill me, Your Majesty!

Forgive him, sire!
I'll never meet him again.

Just kill me instead!

Forgive him, please!
It'll never happen again!

Your Majesty!

No! No!
Your Majesty!

- I'd rather die, sire!
- Forgive me, sire!

Kill me instead!

Castrate him now!

Sire!

Please don't!

Sire!

No, Your Majesty!

Sire!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

I have an urgent matter
to inform you.

What is it?

Your Majesty...

Congratulations, sir.

The Queen
has finally conceived!

The long awaited heir
has finally come.

What a blessing
for the royal family, sire.

I need you to do something.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The Queen has conceived a child.

Sire?

You know very well
whose child it is.

For that child to become
truly mine...

What should be done?

When the night falls...

eliminate everyone involved.

Yes, Your Majesty.

But, what about chief Hong?

Now we're same.

Who would find you,
if I'm don't.

I suggest a simple thing.

Let's get back to the first place.

If you come back,
I'll give you everything.

Even this country.

I must save Chief HONG.

Do you know why the King
summoned me earlier?

He said he'll accept
this child as his.

How can there be two fathers?

The moment this child
becomes the royal heir...

everyone who
knows of this will die.

Quickly, take this to Han-Baek.

And follow Chief HONG to
Eunjung Temple.

But, Your Majesty...

if the King accepts
this child as his...

will you not be safe?

Why bring calamity upon yourself?

There is no time.

Go, now!

Your Majesty...

No! Please!

Chief!

Chief!

Chief...

Let's get out of here.

Wear this.

How did you come here?

The Queen told us.

What?

We have to get out of here first.
Hurry up.

The Queen?

What are you talking about?

Please stand up.
We don't have time.

How's she?

How is the Queen?

The Queen went out of palace.

Forgive me, sire.

Chief!

Are you okay, sir?

Hurry! Take him inside.

Where is the Queen?

What?

Where is the Queen?

The Queen?

Didn't you bring her with you?

What are you saying, sir?

The Queen is not here, Chief.

What?

Forgive us.
We lied to you.

here is HONG Lim?

I do not know, sire.

Don't you want your child
to see the light of day?

Tell me where HONG Lim is.

I do not know.
Take my life if you must, sire.

I can't let you die so easily.

If you give a birth,

I'll raise him as a son of
whom did high treason.

You should see that.

Talk to me.

I don't know.

I'm sorry.
I just want to hear from you.

Let's go.

Let me go.

- Come on!
- What are you doing?

- Let her go!
- Your Majesty!

How dare you!

What are you doing, Chief?

Please listen to me.

- Chief
- Where are you going, sir!

- Chief!
- Chief!

Out of my way!

It's what the Queen wanted!

Don't do this!

Out of my way!

Do you really think
you can save her?

I came here because of you, sir.

Please get off the horse.

Out of my way, now!

If you must, then go.

But...

What will you do
after bringing her here?

All is lost.

What can you do for her?

Do you think
you can make her happy?

- Chief!
- Chief!

Where is HONG Lim?

Where is HONG Lim?

How much more
do you think you can endure?

Tell me where he is!

He already left.

Why are you doing this?

How dare you!

Heads on stakes!

There are heads on stakes!

Today...

in recognition of
our dispatched soldiers to Yuan...

I have arranged this banquet.

I will see to our soldiers
fighting for Goryeo alone.

I want all of you
to mark this occasion.

Drink to your hearts' content
and enjoy!

Long live the King!

You look exhausted, sire.

Please retire to your chambers.

Do you really think
Chief HONG will come?

Your Majesty.

Please take down the heads
hanging over the castle wall.

'Tis not a matter of your concern.

Now, go.

Everything happened
as you wanted, sire!

So, please let Chief HONG go.

Sub-Chief?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Escort the Queen
to her chambers.

Yes, sire.

I shall leave in you peace.

You're the only one left, now.

Pardon?

Everyone involved has died.

You are the only one left.

What do you mean, madam?

You know perfectly why
Han-Baek and Bo-Duk were slain.

Eventually, you will be silenced
in secrecy, too.

There is no one else who can
stop His Majesty's madness.

Release him from
his pains soon.

I am the Princess of Yuan.

If Lord Kyungwon succeeds
to the throne...

I shall at least
guarantee your life.

Out of my way.

I came to see the King.

Why'd you come here?
You're wanted for high treason.

Let me through.

We can't, sir.

Please leave
before anyone sees you.

I do not wish to strike you.

Out of my way.

No, sir!

Chief, Han-Baek, and the others
were not traitors?

If what you say is true,
it affects us, too.

But why are you
telling us this, now?

If I hadn't kept it
a secret till now...

do you think you'd be alive?

Chief HONG!

Sir!
Chief HONG has returned!

What?

He's engaging the guard
at the court!

Where have you been?

You've been through a lot
haven't you?

Why are you standing there?

Come and sit by me.

I came to take your life, sire.

Pick up your sword, sire.

It is my final show of respect.

Why did you do it, sire?

How can you do that
to the Queen?

Pick up your sword, sire!

You fool.

Shall I strike first, sire?

Stand up, Your Majesty.

Fine.

If killing me
will ease your anger...

then try and kill me!

Do you really think
you can beat me?

I've been cut to my roots.

There is nothing left
for me to fear.

You castrated fool!

Was love so important?

You led me to feel love.

I couldn't be more grateful!

- Your Majesty!
- Stay back!

Anyone who intervenes
will be the first to die!

Sire!

Nobody moves until I say so!

I will give you one last chance.

Drop your sword and surrender.

Then I shall spare your life.

It is too late, sire.

Finish me, sire.

Fine.

I'll kill you.

What is going on?

You cannot enter, Your Majesty.

Please go back.

Let me ask you one thing.

Have you, at least once...

felt love for me?

Have you...

even once...

thought me to be your love?

No, sire.

Not even once!

Not yet!

- Your Majesty!
- No!

Out of my way!

HONG Lim!

HONG Lim!

Escort the Queen
to her chambers!

HONG Lim!

Let go of me!

HONG Lim!

Take her, now!

How dare you!
Let go of me!

HONG Lim! HONG Lim!

The King has just passed away
in the hands of an assassin.

And we killed the assailant.

Quickly move the bodies...

and make sure
none of this gets out.

Yes, sir.

The palace looks really great
up here.

Really?

Do you know
where the court is?

The court is your home, right?
Where is it?

My home?

My home is right there.

What do you think?

It's great.
I would love to live there.

Then how about living together
in our entire life?

Yes, Sire!
