Bang-won's private army has thousands of men?
Grand General Jung
will die tonight.
Hwi.
EPISODE 6
It's been a long time.
You're alive.
When I fell asleep for a moment and saw you,
I stayed up all night because I missed you.
I wanted to close my eyes again so I could see you,
but you were just a dream.
This isn't a dream, right?
I never
dreamt about you.
Not even a nightmare.
Just surviving was more than I could handle.
I erased you from my mind.
I don't believe you.
You're lying.
Thank you...
for staying alive.
Jung Sa-jeong will die?
You should kill one of your meritorious subjects first.
That will teach them their place and make them fear you, Your Majesty.
And if one of them has to die,
it should be Jung Sa-jeong.
However, I never ordered his death.
You cannot.
Hence, I read your thoughts.
My job is to understand your thoughts and put them into action.
Then tell me how you think I feel about Jeongan.
You fear
the possibility of him stealing the throne from you.
- How dare you... - But at the same time,
you miss having him around
for he used to dirty his hands with blood in your place.
Please grant me access to everywhere and the authority to order anyone.
Then you will no longer need to
fear or miss Prince Jeongan.
Then tell me your thoughts on this.
I let the meritorious subjects and royal relatives have private armies,
and even mere clerks are hiring private soldiers now.
What should be done about it?
I understand, Your Majesty.
I will take care of it.
What are you waiting for? We must report this immediately.
No, we can't.
If we do, they'll turn this place upside down
and try to convict us of aiding and abetting at all costs.
Ihwaru won't be safe.
Aren't you the one that left without any hesitation?
Now you act like you care?
Is it because of him?
Then what should we do?
Madame Seo.
Both the body and the bloodstain will be gone.
No one saw or heard anything.
Nothing happened at Ihwaru.
Hui-jae is right.
Get moving!
Yes, ma'am.
You must be happy that you finally saw the man whom you missed so much.
What's wrong?
Were you not that happy to see him?
What is it, then? Just tell me, you silly goose.
I felt as if
hell was engraved all over Hwi's body.
I felt like I could hear each one of his scars screaming.
It broke my heart.
His sad eyes broke my heart more
than all the cruel words he said.
They pierced my heart like sharp blades.
I have no power. I should not have stepped in.
I shouldn't have let him go like that.
The last audience for the day is over.
This is regarding an urgent matter.
His Majesty heard everything he needed to hear.
You must've told him something you never told me.
Bang-won's weaknesses, for example.
Please don't get the wrong idea.
It was just a routine briefing.
A sixth-rank official having a one-on-one with the King is unprecedented.
You are trying to fly before you can even jump.
That is what all birds do.
You are being hasty. You will be used and abandoned.
Do not be concerned.
Whether I fly or fall,
I will handle the consequences.
- So what's going on? - Jung Sa-jeong died at Ihwaru.
Eight guys went in,
and only Hwi came out.
- Anything else? - The skirt-clad minister
was at Ihwaru as well.
Where is she now?
I saw Hwi.
You...
knew, didn't you?
Yes.
I knew.
How could you...
It was Hwi's choice.
He chose to avoid you.
It wasn't me.
What choice did he have?
Did he choose to be drafted and sent to the deadly battleground?
Or you mean, having a friend like you?
Hwi and I
are no longer friends. I don't want to hear that name anymore.
You walk and trample all over others.
Now, I know where else I've seen that type of behavior.
You're just like your father.
Like two peas in a pod.
Your Highness, there is...
We took care of Jung Sa-jeong.
What about the corpses?
They never left Ihwaru.
Ihwaru...
Can we trust them?
There are hundreds of treacherous plots
that were schemed at Haegeomdang in Ihwaru but were never carried out.
Do you know
about any of them?
We must find out who killed Jung Sa-jeong.
We need to know who ordered his death to prepare for their next move.
Is that the only reason?
Only two people in this country can dare to kill
a founding contributor at Ihwaru.
Nam Jeon is one of them,
but he'd never hire lowborn swordsmen.
Who is the other one?
- It's Bang-won. - Stay out of it.
If not, neither you nor Hwi will be safe.
I must step in because Hwi is involved in it.
Then you will have to bear the consequences.
Will you still step in?
Yes, I will.
If you are seeing me off, you can go back in now.
No, I came out to greet someone.
I will give you an invaluable piece of information.
Would you accept it?
Yes, please tell me.
Bang-seok will be named Crown Prince, but the throne is Bang-won's.
Do not doubt it. It won't change.
Hello, there.
You old lady with diseased lungs.
It is quite impressive that you are still alive.
Here.
With the right medicine,
you can outlive those who caught the flu.
Is that so?
It's been a while.
I do not want to interrupt your conversation, so I'll get going.
I've been meaning
to meet with you.
Oh, dear. I forgot for a moment.
You said you're not a kisaeng even though you grew up in a kisaeng house.
My father always reeked of blood.
Even when I was a little boy, I could tell that he had just returned
from one of his expeditions before his stubble touched my cheeks.
But this place
also reeks of that putrid smell of blood.
The assassins that killed Jung Sa-jeong...
I sent them.
Do they
work for Your Highness?
They just looked like roughnecks to me.
I will abandon them when they are no longer useful.
And if they cause trouble,
I will just kill them.
But why at Ihwaru?
It is the only place where I can assassinate
a founding contributor without any trouble.
Ihwaru is not a burial ground.
I hope things like this never happen again.
I am afraid it will keep happening.
Then the earth will spit out the corpses.
If that happens, you will be buried in that very spot.
I do not have much time left to live anyway.
Such threats won't work.
Oh, boy.
Then I suppose that sword
will be sent to someone else.
Your Highness.
Do you remember the time when you were on the run?
I helped the Queen up when she was exhausted
and carried Bang-seok when he fell asleep.
I voluntarily got the least amount of food and sleep.
And even when...
I was threatened at knifepoint,
I didn't even flinch.
How could I forget that time?
I should have killed you back then.
I'm sure
I'll get another chance though.
I will give you that chance now.
Work for me.
But you must continue to work for the Queen and be Nam Seon-ho's friend.
Observe everything they say, hear, and think about
and report it to me.
In return,
I give you my permission to kill me anytime you wish.
What will happen if I decline your offer?
We'll see about that when and if it happens.
JUNG SA-JEONG
YI BANG-WON
Our next target is Bang-won's arsenal.
I'll confiscate all the weapons,
so you can take over the arsenal.
Start out as a guard at the arsenal
and move up to the support and elite squads.
Then you'll approach Bang-won.
I'll grow old and die before I can even meet him.
Bang-won doubts everything and everyone.
You must do it step by step.
That is the best way.
You stay here. If you get caught, Yeon will be put in danger as well.
Follow me.
What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here.
First, you should be asking how I found this place.
The fact that I found it
means Bang-won can come here too.
I don't know your plan, but you're in danger.
Leave.
And do not come back.
You can't stop me.
Are you blind?
You saw me killing someone.
You're no exception.
Leave.
I said, leave!
You said you forgot it all.
You said it's meaningless.
I will
protect you from now on.
I'll never lose you again.
The world you live in...
I'll have to die to get there.
Forget the girl who used to put up the posters.
In front of Bang-won, we're complete strangers.
And I won't step in without your permission.
Then I'll go
to where you are.
No one will find out.
Thank you
for seeing me off.
- Let me pour you a glass. - All right.
They say the first drink should go to your elder,
and the last one is for the one in your heart.
This is the last one.
My last one already went to Hwi.
You walk and trample all over others.
You're just like your father.
Like two peas in a pod.
Sir.
Hey, you're that inspector!
Don't you remember me?
We met at the meeting with the Three Offices.
Who is he?
He is the son of the powerful man,
Lord Nam Jeon.
That illegitimate son of his?
Oh, no. I should watch this flippant mouth of mine.
Be careful! If you get on his nerves,
he'll dig up dirt on everyone in your family.
There is no way such a fine, distinguished man knows who I am.
Your mother was a lowborn, but you obtained the sixth rank.
I'm truly impressed.
I could not choose my parents.
Could you?
You were just lucky,
so be grateful for your good fortune.
Do not mock the unlucky ones.
I was just joking, so don't get all riled up.
It is not my fault that you were born out of wedlock to a lowborn mother.
We'll meet again.
And when we do, that hand of yours
will be crippled beyond use.
Gosh, I'm so scared.
Hey, enough.
Let's just go in.
- Look at that mutt on the throne. - Gosh.
That mutt needs to know his place.
Seon-ho.
Hey, why aren't you in bed?
I just wanted to get some fresh air.
Gosh, you reek of alcohol.
Did you drink?
Yes, just one glass.
You must've had more than one glass.
Don't wait for me from now on.
People are watching, and it makes me uncomfortable.
You also don't need to leave
a glass of water by my bed at night, so don't go into my room.
Did I do something wrong?
No.
With its fierce eyes The dragon soared through the sky
What is that?
This is called Mabihwan.
When you take this pill,
your entire body becomes paralyzed.
Even if you are to be flogged 100 times,
you won't even feel it.
- You're so silly. - Did you laugh at me?
Those who get flogged for others for a living always have this handy.
Jeez, who keeps spewing total gibberish over there?
Why must he provoke me like that?
What about you? What are you doing now?
My goodness, look at these squiggly earthworms.
If we had some chickens here, they'd eat them all.
Beom, are you taking the state exam?
I'll become a nobleman when I can buy a family register.
A nobleman must know how to write his name at least.
Oh, that's right. My gosh.
I forgot about that dream of yours,
but it'll never come true.
- Come here for a second. - Okay.
Shall I crush your bones?
Don't mess with me.
Which one of the Jeong clans?
The Dongnae Jeong clan. And "Beom" means "to run."
Let's see.
Jeong.
Beom.
This is my first time seeing my name.
Chi-do.
Thank you.
Where are you going?
I'll go catch a few pheasants, so boil some water.
You need to corner them to hunt them. I'll go with you.
There's no need.
Just stay here.
Gosh, it's like you have nine lives.
How did you survive alone when everyone died?
That's what I'm good at.
Fine. I'm so proud.
I didn't know it was here. I've been looking all over for it.
Were you looking for a grave site?
No, I was looking for that straight sword.
I noticed you use the straight sword while everyone has curved ones.
The sword that can pierce body armor and the long spear to skewer troopers?
Are you fighting in a war or something?
How would a mere hunter like you know about long spears?
Kill him.
Tear him off!
Shoot the arrows.
You jerk.
Leave him be. I might need him later.
Confiscate all the weapons
and kill those who defy.
Dismiss all the soldiers on duty
and arrest those who disobey.
What is going on?
How dare you show your face here.
Kill them all. I will take full responsibility for this.
You're the inspector.
How dare a bastard son like you...
Do you know who my father is?
I once used my father's name for my advantage.
That's what
I regret the most.
You can file an appeal or report treason if you want.
But I assure you,
you won't even be able to mess with my collar to the death.
If you don't believe me, bring it on.
You'll see who's slaughtered first.
I speared and cut, just enough not to kill you guys.
Whether you leave or stay, it's up to you.
But you can never come back.
If you do,
I'll kill you all.
You damn punks.
They are just leaving like that.
What are you doing here? I told you to stay at the tavern.
You're the one who lied to me first.
Where on earth is a pheasant here?
Let him explain what he's doing here.
What?
Gosh, what's all this?
Did a war break out or something?
Are they about 300 swords?
If it's ten nyang per sword, it will be about 3,000 nyang in total.
It's worth ten houses with servants' quarters.
We can find any house we want.
Did we just win a fortune?
Who do these belong to?
It doesn't matter. I called dibs on them already.
That's what I was going to say, but I won't.
People just believe whatever I say. It makes me feel guilty.
Prince Jeongan, Yi Bang-won.
This is his weapons storehouse.
I've got more tricks up my sleeve.
If we go further, it will put you in danger.
So let's just stop here.
Tell me what you're up to.
Let's just go our separate ways.
Tell me.
Are you deaf or what?
You might die.
My gosh. The sword is all nicked.
Is it a sword or a taffy?
Hey, take a look at this.
Even a sorghum straw wouldn't snap like this.
Hwi, do you think we've survived the war
because we're good warriors?
It's all because of our quick wits.
Just tell us what you are up to.
I think Mun-bok has a point.
There's something
you need to see.
YI BANG-WON
Soldiers are divided
into three groups.
In Group A, there's Tae-ryeong, the greatest swordsman
and Cheonga who uses a pair of sickles.
Tae-ryeong manages Group B, and Cheonga manages Group C.
Only Group A can stand near Yi Bang-won.
Group B has 24 soldiers or more.
They stand guard over Bang-won's house.
Ganggae's party we just defeated belong to Group C.
They are outsourced soldiers in charge of weapons and intelligence.
They are usually seen as roughnecks or gamblers at other times.
Was it Yeon or something?
Your sister
is just like my sister.
There's nothing I wouldn't do for my sister.
Don't you agree?
Nam Jeon, that little bastard.
I'd just poke his eyes out
and squeeze them all out dry.
What are you doing?
I just feel bad for Yeon.
That poor thing.
She lost her parents, her brother,
and even her memory.
I mean, she's...
Darn it.
You said you should get on the right side of Yi Bang-won to save Yeon, right?
We even managed to
come back alive from Liaodong.
You can do that. What's the big deal about it?
Right.
I'm going to
kick Jeon's ass.
Let's do this.
Even if we die alone,
we will survive together.
Thank you.
Well...
On a day like this,
we need a drink or something.
Do you want me to go boil some eggs?
The gambling den is robbed?
And even the forge?
But we managed to catch the mutt.
What about the weapons storehouse?
It's fine.
I'll be dead if it's robbed.
If you move, it'll cut your neck.
You were a mere assassin.
Who do you think made you the leader here?
It's not like I was an assassin.
I was just ordered to kill him.
What?
I asked who did it.
It's you, sir.
I had your back for the den and let you take care of the forge.
- Why is that? - For protection money.
And you got it all robbed?
I'll get them back tomorrow.
I'll do it as soon as possible.
So, please! Please!
Ganggae.
We don't need a flag to die for or patriotism to be a soldier.
It's all about money.
We just get a lot of money for our lives.
Now that he cut the purse strings, I'll have to cut something.
I'd like to see the face
of this Hwi.
Don't just stand there.
- Pardon? - Look for him!
That fucking little weasel.
Why are you puckering your mouth like a little fish?
You little bitch.
And who might you be?
Whatever. I'll tear you apart.
Go and tell your master
that if you ever hurt this little girl,
he'll have to answer to me.
If it weren't for Seo Geom back then,
I wouldn't be treated like garbage.
Secret surveillance?
Would Hwi be the one watched?
I won't lose him again.
I will
protect Hwi.
And what can you obtain?
Tributes are given to Ming three times a year.
I will get my hand on the deal.
Ihwaru can have 20 percent of the profit.
And how can I trust you?
I don't make deals that could go sideways.
The official in charge of the trade
is one of the Queen's people.
You can trust me.
On one condition.
I will hear the deal from the Queen herself.
Why here?
Others have joined me back at home.
Speak.
As you suspected, there was an arsenal at the smithy.
I counted about 300 swords and spears.
They will be confiscated tomorrow.
Wait for your next assignment.
Do not forget
that plans crumble
if the right steps aren't taken.
Is anyone here?
Are you a physician?
A physician?
My gosh, you...
So what I mean...
I'm trying to say...
Is there something on my face?
Prettiness.
You're like a living doll. What's your name?
Why do you ask?
To call you, that's why.
A name's no good if you don't call it.
It's Hwa-wol.
Moonlight shining on petal.
Your name is as pretty as your face.
So what brings you here today?
I can take a look if you want.
I think my wound has gotten a bit worse.
Wait.
Don't.
Right here.
Are you kidding me? This buffoon just slathered on medicine.
My dear goodness.
There's puss.
- Puss? - It's all right.
Hold on.
Swallow one of these 30 minutes
after breakfast and dinner.
Melt some of this in water and put it on your wound.
It's gluey, so it'll stick right on.
There isn't anything I can't give you,
so do not hesitate to ask.
Are you sure you're a physician?
The blettia rhizome powder and these pills were mixed up...
What's this?
Are you pretending to be a physician in my pharmacy again?
Just shut it...
It's not what you think.
Could I even ask you for some salt?
Of course. I have some.
I have the most precious kind from the coast of Taean.
You pig.
PHARMACY
My name is Mun-bok. "Mun" as in door
and "bok" as in happiness.
It's Mun-bok!
Now get out of here.
Why you little...
Did you take the wrong medicine
or spot a wild ginseng?
Hwa-wol!
A beauty must've stopped by the pharmacy.
That's right.
Why can't you start up a logical conversation
instead of coming at me with jealously or crude comments?
- What? - I'm off.
Wait, don't forget the pills for numbness.
Your whole body will go numb so don't take them when shooting arrows.
Take them before you receive a beating
so that you won't feel a lot of pain.
Are you wishing me luck or not?
Good luck.
I don't know if you'll be as good with an arrow though.
Don't worry. From a close distance, my shooting is as good as his.
When it comes to Hwi, he doesn't want to lose.
You're supposed to always aim high.
I heard that!
Bang-won doesn't let his guard down.
Are you sure about this?
It's like I said.
I'll use Bang-won to get rid of Nam Jeon.
I'm only saying since both seems difficult.
A bait for Bang-won and a trap for Nam Jeon.
I have both.
Can you promise me something?
If something goes wrong and I'm about to die,
don't get in the way.
That I can't do as long as I see you danger.
I'll go alone if you can't promise me that.
Fine,
I promise.
Nam Seon-ho is disbanding the ministers' private armies.
Jung Sa-jeong's men are already in the wind.
He's disbanding armies?
Well, bring in those that have been let go.
That includes swordsmen, warriors, strong men,
as well as thugs and outlaws on the streets.
Even at this time?
We can't give in to what they want.
His Majesty commands the official army now,
so I should at least have my own.
I need it to survive.
Only then will I be able to turn the tables.
Yes, Your Highness. So where to?
The Palace.
When suppressed, we must shake things up.
Who is that man?
He is the man who'll protect you. Keep an eye on him.
Inspector Nam Seon-ho may only be of sixth-rank,
but he chased all those that fled the army during the war.
His contribution is as great as the rest.
It's why I invited him to celebrate with us,
so do not question my decision.
You are absolutely right.
Don't you dare hide from him.
Shoulders back, chin up.
Prince Jeongan will be beneath you.
Face him bravely.
I also escorted the Queen
while the army retreated from Wihwado.
Prince Muan and Prince Uian were also under my care
which makes my contribution just as worthy.
So please
allow my presence too.
Crown Prince.
You will refrain from such comments.
He must not be called that until he has been appointed.
Then...
how's this?
I congratulate
our future Crown Prince.
Prince Jeongan!
Uian,
even after you take your place on the throne,
do not forget about your brother.
I'm sure you remember
that we survived vicious times and had fun together.
We may have survived tough times but never did we have fun.
How dare you mock us with such audacious comments?
Jung Sa-jeong's seat is currently vacant.
Take it.
You're the one who made it so anyway.
I'm flustered to hear...
Now!
Your Majesty,
how can you ask me to sit in the seat of a founding contributor?
Put me in the lowest seat
and have me crawl out of here.
You dare try to fool me?
His seat is vacant because you...
Your Majesty.
From relatives of the Royal Family to petty officials all have private armies.
They are the reason why there is so much disorder.
Please abolish all private armies
and lay grounds for a peaceful country.
That is impossible.
Without His Majesty's Gabyeolcho,
this nation wouldn't have been founded.
The time of confusion is over and the official military now stands.
Why would one need a private army unless it was for an uprising?
An uprising?
I urge you to refrain from such comments!
Why the hostility?
You sound as if I saw right through you.
How can your shallow insight
see through my thick layers of loyalty?
How can one see what doesn't exist?
The days of disorder are gone, you say?
The Japanese are still invading us
and the barbarians are still out for blood.
Also, what if the Wang Family decided to rebel?
Who will stop them?
With your witty words
or your dried up brushes?
How do you expect to defend us
with your silly words
that carry no weight or consideration?
Threats against the nation
will be handled by the nation,
not you.
Who do you think you are
to question Prince Jeongan's loyalty?
Do you think we've been holding our tongues
because we are incompetent?
Your Majesty,
a decision regarding private armies shouldn't be made so easily.
Please consider all the ramifications
and decide on the best course of action for the people of this nation.
Please reconsider, Your Majesty.
- Please reconsider, Your Majesty. - Please reconsider, Your Majesty.
Why did you cut me off?
Prince Jeongan came here to be humiliated.
It was to have his contribution recognized
and be pitied by other officials for the treatment he receives from you.
That is why
I cut off your words.
So did today go as you planned?
Jeongan left with a smile on his face
while you're sitting here stiff.
In my eyes,
he got the best of you.
Actually,
he got the best of me.
From this moment on, you will not act recklessly.
Cut me off when I'm speaking again
and I'll have your head.
Seeing how your head is still on
proves that His Majesty is getting old.
You were right to cut him off.
You made the ministers point their arrows at you and not the King.
His Majesty doesn't realize it though.
He's just pretending not to know.
You're disbanding private armies, I hear.
Officials below third-rank are my targets.
Don't dirty your blade with useless blood.
Taking out someone high is how you can rise up.
Bang-won is where he is now because he killed Jeong Mong-ju.
If that's how far he's willing to go, who else wouldn't he kill?
That is fear.
Spread fear upon your adversaries,
not anger.
Bang-won was able to kill Jeong Mong-ju
because he had His Majesty on his side.
When I take Bang-won on,
where will you be, Father?
Couldn't you be less in the way?
Kneel.
Who are you to make me kneel?
Your lowly knees...
As if knees have social statuses.
Damn it.
A blind arrow ruined the skin.
So you purposely aimed for the neck?
Its ear, not its neck.
Only that way can you preserve the skin.
So what's your name?
I hear it's rude
to ask one's name without saying yours first.
You fool. The Kangmujang is not open to the public.
Since you're trespassing,
you should be punished, right?
Wrong.
Tigers and wolves from the Kangmujang have been killing in the villages.
It's the nation's job to stop that from happening.
So punish whoever is responsible first and then come find me.
I'd gladly take my punishment.
How dare you!
Sure thing. You are right.
You're right.
I am
Prince Jeongan, also known as Bang-won of the Yi Family.
I introduced myself, so now I ask you.
What's your name?
It's Hwi.
Seo Hwi.
Seo Hwi...
Bang-won went to the Kangmujang.
Round up the men.
We'll strike his arsenal.
If you get bored of the mountains,
seek me out.
I'll put you to good use.
I decline.
I'd rather be a rooster's head than a bull's tail.
Besides,
you have enough tails as it is.
Your Highness.
There's no doubt you have talent,
but you first must learn how to kneel.
- Cheonga? - Swords aren't used to slaughter chickens.
This is more than enough.
One might think this is an actual slaughterhouse.
At least give me a sword.
Thanks.
He wants me to teach you how to kneel.
Who will teach whom?
I will teach you.
You're the one who raided the tujeon.
Rumors travel fast.
You bastard.
I guess that's enough fun.
Fine, I'll not take your head.
You don't get it, do you?
You're the one who'll die, not me.
It's an ambush!
What a shitfest. You have to fire back for the shooting to stop.
Southwest, end of the hill, behind the old pine tree.
About 20 steps to the right of the tree.
Want to know how to stop being targeted?
Follow me.
You're good.
I must be getting old.
Guards are posted in all eight directions 100 steps out
and the same again in four directions 50 steps out.
So how did you get through?
I was already well inside the perimeter.
To hunt wolves, it's better to lie in wait instead of giving chase.
I owe you one.
Then let me take the wolf.
That was always yours.
So tell me what you want.
Its skin is enough.
You fool.
Aren't you greedy enough or do you never aim high?
How about this then?
Beg for your life.
Bundle him up.
- Why is Hwi at Bang-won's residence? - He was dragged there from the Kangmujang.
- Something must've gone wrong. - We'll postpone today's raid.
I must see for myself.
He...
won't live.
Just cut him loose.
Whether he lives or not is my call to make,
not yours.
Cheonga's double scythe is as threatening as a top warrior's sword.
However, some lowly hunter fought with him for over 20 moves.
However,
even though you can shoot a wolf's ear,
you didn't even manage to wound the assassin.
Is that a coincidence?
They say coincidences add up to fate.
Show some mercy, will you?
Then let's find out if we're destined
to cross paths.
How did you get here?
On foot.
Don't tell me you think I rode a palanquin.
Stop playing games and answer me truthfully.
Who sent you?
Damn it.
How many times must I tell you?
Tell me why I shouldn't
kill you.
Who are you?
A hunter.
I'll ask you one last time.
Who are you?
I guess
we weren't meant to be.
Your Highness.
You must have something important to say
considering how you came all the way here.
I'm not here for you, Your Highness.
I'm here for him.
MY COUNTRY: THE NEW AGE
Time is on Bang-won's side now. Disband all private armies.
Sambong is one who designed a dynasty of 1,000 years.
That is your price to pay.
I will kill you and all your brothers and eliminate all threats of the nation.
You will never be King.
My sword will only aim at you.
I hope
you keep watching from your grave.
You crossed a line you shouldn't have.
Your bravado will cost me a lot.
It could be my life.
How you survive is up to you.
I regret that I tried to save you.
I truly do.
All I want
is to live one single day in peace.
That is my ultimate dream.
