Kim Yu Shin: Why are you acting this way?
Deok Man: Her final words that was left by my sister…..I will not abide her wishes…no that not it…I refuse to adhere them
Deok man leaves as Kim Yu shin asked what she is going to do if she refuse to adhere her sister’s wishes. Deok Man said that he would not abide to her wishes as she unable to follow it through. Kim Yu Shin said that the Princess Cheon Myeong was worried about her until the very end of her breathe. Deok Man shout that that is the real reason why she can’t adhere to her sister’s wishes. It is because of her worries that Cheon Myeong took her place in death as replacement. How will she able to abide & adhere by living a normal & ordinary life as a woman or common folk in happiness. That happiness had ended with her. Deok Man can no longer able to savour happiness, it is over for her. Kim Yu Shin is really hurt by Deok Man’s words. Kim Yu Shin tells her that this incident is none of her fault, that Cheon Myeong’s passing is none of her fault. Deok Man said that it is also not Kim Yu Shin’s fault either but Deok Man now can’t able to see Kim Yu Shin in the eye out of guilt, it will be the same for Kim Yu Shin as he can’t bear to look Deok Man at the eye. Deok Man said that even if this is none of their fault, they can’t come together in embrace. Kim Yu Shin for the 1st time broke down & cried that their love is not meant to be.
Finally we have more vocal songs serenading in scenes
Cheon Myeong had a state funeral as her coffin is lead in procession as the people of Silla pay respect to her by bowing & kneeling before her coffin. Seol Won Rang, Al Cheon & Kim Seo Hyeon as pall bearers. The citizen of Silla weep for Cheon Myeong
Mi Shil & her entourage comes to meet Queen Maya at the corridors as Queen Maya had t be supported in her arms by her palace maids. Queen Maya is rage with anger in her grief. Mi Shil greets Queen Maya to convey her condolences as Queen Maya must be so saddened by the demise of Cheon Myeong. It is really unforeseen circumstances & tragic incident. Se Jong tells that Queen Maya has been ill all this while as he had heard that she was, when Queen Maya burst into a rage & start to curse Mi Shil with her almighty strength as Queen Maya scream to Mi Shil
Queen Maya: You wretched wench!!!!
Mi Shil & her entourage is shocked for the 1st time Queen Maya express such rage at them. Ha Jong asked how can Queen Maya be so rude in name calling Mi Shil
Queen Maya: Wench, you will also died. You will be strip of all the things that you have, all will be taken away, & your reputation be trampled & die destitute & alone, that is how you will meet your end
Mi Shil is really shell shocked by Queen Maya cursing words
Queen Maya: When you sleep you can’t. When you try to eat, you can’t. When you try to live, you can’t & live the rest of your life like a restless zombie without a soul. Even when you tries to scream on top of your voice, you can’t utter a single sound. This is how you will see your own death. You will have no tombstone to your name, no grave site to place your body & disappear into history without a trace, you wretched wench!!!! Just wait that in history your name will not leave or have a single character in the books
Queen Maya collapse & faints. Se Jong goes to check on Queen Maya, as Mi Shil is really see that she is disturb by what Queen Maya had just cursed her
Kim Yu Shin goes to see Deok Man to say that what she had said is correct. Kim Yu Shin still insist to send Deok Man away from Silla for safety reasons. Deok Man tells Kim Yu Shin directly that she will not leave Silla & she will have to stay on in Silla. Kim Yu Shin said no matter what, she may die in Silla. Deok Man said she will find a way that she will not lead to her death in Silla, that to avoid death, she will & must find method of a way. Kim Yu shin asked what she suppose to do about that matter
Deok Man: Silla…..I will obtain & acquire it.
Deok Man said that this place Silla where the impossible can’t be able to accomplished, she will overwrite that fact. Mi Shil is her focus, Mi Shil’s method is the way that she needs to defeat Mi Shil, in order to find that the way to her regain her life. Panning scene of pondering & deep thinking of what she is going to do as Kim Yu Shin sat besides her looking at her. Kim Yu Shin dozes off then to wake up to find Deok Man missing
Deok Man walking with Bi Dam following & asking what she is up to as they are friend & where she is going. Deok Man answer that she is on her way to Seorabeol. Bi Dam holds her back to asked that everybody who is looking for her is in Seorabeol & why does she want to go there & wants to know her intention. Deok Man asked whether Bi Dam want to come & do this quest with her. It raised Bi Dam’s interest & asked what is it. Kim Yu shin goes around the surrounding areas looking for Kim Yu Shin that he recalls that she is going to acquire Silla & whatever impossible to accomplished in that place Silla, she will overwrite it. Kim Yu Shin half guess what Deok Man want to do & Bi Dam laugh at her plans as just mere jokes.
Deok Man said that if he is interest that to meet at Seorabeol at the tavern in Gwonwon Market off the eastern city street. Bi Dam know that Deok Man is dead serious in what she had just said. Deok man said that if he doesn’t then their friendship ends as of now. Bi Dam asked whether if she really want to do it that since his birth, this is the most shocking news that he had hear thus far. Deok Man is determined to follow this through with grit & leaves
Bi Dam goes to the market & finds politics gossip in the street that with Princess Cheon Myeong’s passing the present Royal Household is in jeopardy as King Jinpyeong doesn’t have any heir apparent, the next in line to the throne will be Se Jong which is Mi Shil’s husband. Then if it is true, the gossip is that Mi Shil had a hand in Princess Cheon Myeong’s demise. The other warns him not to say nonsensical rumours & speculation or else death will come to him. They had hear that Queen Maya had hematemesis in front of Mi Shil by cursing her & then collapse & faint. Other also had concurs news about the incident. Then they said that Mi Shil is the person who can do practically anything she wants with her beck & call. Then they conclude that Cheon Myeong had indeed been murder by Mi Shil’s scheme.
Bi Dam add lip to concur that it is true & he had witness the whole truth with his own eyes. Everybody eager to hear the piece of that news as Bi Dam goes on his story telling to listening ears when Moon Noh pass by & call Bi Dam & asked what he is idlily away in the market place & to come follow him. Bi Dam follow Moon Noh but the other villager wants to more of the rumours as Bi Dam confirm to them it is true
Moon Noh asked of what happened to the boat that Bi Dam request from him that he wanted to help the people in Yangji Village. Moon Noh asked what had happened to them that he is now wondering in market street in idle. Bi Dam said that something happened that they couldn’t escape. Moon Noh reprimand that Bi Dam is trying to lie his way through out of his troubles. Bi Dam said that this time he sincerely wanted to help them & indeed he did help them to escape but sadly it didn’t work out as plan that Bi Dam is feeling guilty & saddened by the incident. Moon Noh asked whether Bi Dam really & sincerely wanted to help them as Bi Dam affirms. Moon Noh said that they are leaving the area & asked Bi Dam to make travelling arrangements
Moon Noh recalls the incident 20 years ago where he managed to escape with So Hwa & infant Deok Man on horseback being pursuit by the injure Chil Sook. Then in a shelter, Moon Noh gave a wooden tablet to So Hwa & said that he had prepares a boat for them to sail to Hangju. In Hangju, there is a Silla village & a man by the name of Kim Do Rok who opens a stationery shop. Then Moon Noh gives a letter to So Hwa to asked her to pass this letter to the man & he will arrange the rest with accommodation & he will look after her welfare. In a while, Moon Noh will go there to look for her. So Hwa obediently follows
I think Hangju is the Chinese city of Hangzhou. It is mentioned in Chil Sook’s story
Moon Noh tells So Hwa that this infant child as she will return to Silla to accomplish great deeds, so she must look after the child. So Hwa said that she only have instruction from King Jinpyeong to help her to survive. Moon Noh said that King Jinpyeong doesn’t know the foreseen future that may bring. The toddler Bi Dam was with them as the toddler Bi Dam goes to stroke the infant Deok Man. Moon Noh tells that does Bi Dam finds infant Deok Man cute
Back to the present, Moon Noh asked what is Bi Dam thinking in such deep thoughts. Bi Dam is thinking of the people he is trying to help. Moon Noh asked which if it was the Hwa Rang (Kim Yu Shin). Bi Dam said that it is the person in Nang do uniform (Deok Man) that is beside him. Bi Dam tries to explain Deok Man relation with Cheon Myeong but fall short in going further & said that he really want to help Deok Man. Moon Noh asked why as Bi Dam answer that Deok Man is really pitiful. Moon Noh know that he sincerely feel that for Deok Man. Bi Dam said that he really wish to help Deok Man & asked Moon Noh permission that he may go & help Deok Man. Moon Noh understand & allows him. Moon Noh said that he will write an Ahm Yeo letter, Bi Dam in the time being can render his assistance to Deok Man
Ahm Yeo is encrypted code letters (code breakers)
Al Cheon stage a one man Nangjang (painted faces) at the Daehwajeon with some of his cadre & Dae Pung & Guk San Heun from Yonghwa Hyangdo as he kneels & scream for a Royal Commission to the inquiry of Cheon Myeong’s death in front of the entrance of the Hall of Grand Governance. His shouting pleas attract the staff of the palace
Hong Chen Dian – Hall of Grand Governance. That is what is read on the signage of the hall
King Jinpyeong with the ill Queen Maya’s bedside is informs by Kim Yong Chu that Al Cheon is staging a one man protest in Grand Hall (Dae jeon). Kim Yong Chu confirm that Al Cheon is asking for an official inquiry to Cheon Myeong’s death & he wants the perpetrator to be charged. King Jinpyeong asked whether Al Cheon is tagging a Nangjang as Kim Yong Chu affirm it
Seol Won Rang orchestrated the dramatics of Al Cheon’s protest by cutting of access to others. Se Jong asked whether they need to seek audience with King Jinpyeong as Mi Shil agrees & call the rest in conference. King Jinpyeong, Eul Jae, Kim Yong Chi, Ha Jong, Se Jong & Mi Shil in conference in Dae Jeon hearing Al Cheon’s pleas & cries. Mi Shil tell King Jinpyeong that this nation’s princess had met a tragic death & her cause of death need to be address to seek justice. Mi Shil put up her act of pretence that she is sadden & hurt at Cheon Myeong’s tragic death in which King Jinpyeong looks at Mi Shil with a glare that he knows she is putting out a show. Mi Shil that since a Hwa Rang stage has address this issue, they need to give him an rightful answer. Mi Shil said that she will lead in the inquiry to Cheon Myeong’s death to satisfy Al Cheon & she will not leave stone unturned. Al Cheon still shouting from the top of his voice for justice to be serves on Cheon Myeong’s death
The other Hwa Rang Captain thinks that Al Cheon’s protest is fruitless & senseless, almost ridicule the whole system of justice. Im Jong asked what Seok Bum is trying to implied. Seok Bum asked how strange that Im Jong, Kim Seo Hyeon, Al Cheon & Princess Cheon Myeong all head to Iseo District simultaneously. The other Hwa rang Captain are curious as Seok Bum explains that all of them went there in order to search for the other younger twin of princess Cheon Myeong. The others finds out that Cheon Myeong was a twin & that Queen Maya borne a pair of twins. This is why Princess Cheon Myeong went to Iseo District to find her. Seok Bum said that not only found her but tried to hide her away. The other queried that Im Jong & Kim Seo Hyeon went there to help Princess Cheon Myeong who went there for her younger twin. Bo Jong said that Seok Bum’s accusation is not without its truth. Bo Jong claims that they most probably went there with intention to kill the younger twin & asked Im Jong whether he had said this correctly. Im Jong is silent
Mi Shil queries that they (King Jinpyeong’s camp i.e. Kim Seo Hyeon & Im Jong) went to Iseo District as they were instructed to kill Deok Man. Mi Shil points her accusation to Eul Jae as Eul Jae brushes off as assumption without proof & be careful of how she phase her sentences. Eul Jae said that Mi Shil had been threatening King Jinpyeong with the existence of twins & now throwing accusation on mere speculations that have been proven or mere theory
Keop Pak is coerce a threat or speculation
Se Jong question the stealth movement of Princess Cheon Myeong to Iseo District when they convene an emergency Hwabaek Council was call to session in regards to argue the matter. Kim Yong Chu explains that it is the matter in regards of the Royal wedding to Kim Yu Shin. Seol Won Rang said that Kim Yu Shin has been protecting Deok Man all this while. Kim Seo Hyeon contradicted the argument that Kim Yu Shin went there to meet him. Seol Won Rang asked whether Kim Yu Shin was with him when Princess Cheon Myeong passed away. Seol Won Rang said that he been told that when Cheon Myeong passed away, he, Al Cheon, & the other younger twin Deok Man is understand that they were present. Se Jong said that is why they need to bring back Deok Man alive at all cost not like people such as Eul Jae who want otherwise. Ha Jong add the argument that Cheon Myeong needn’t keep Kim Seo Hyeon or Im Jong out of the cold in her movements but only confer with Al Cheon & what asked what is the reason behind that. Mi Shil asked King Jinpyeong how he wants to do about the matter. Mi Shil asked whether it is necessary to probe into the cause of death of Cheon Myeong. Mi Shil tells she can find the perpetrator if need be but however Mi Shil will reiterate the issue of the existence of the twin if there is an inquiry & that cause the demise of Cheon Myeong, if they let this issue rest that she will forget about the matter
King Jinpyeong force himself to declare that Cheon Myeong’s death is accidental. This end the feud between the 2 camps over the twin issue. Mi Shil had no other choice to leave this issue at rest as it will also jeopardise their status if there is inquiry. Mi Shil declare that the Hwabaek Council is deem void & no mentioned of argument of this issue will be brought up & it is settle as it is. Mi Shil & her entourage leaves as both sides didn’t gain no advantage on Cheon Myeong’s death. Seol Won Rang tells Al Cheon that King Jinpyeong had declare that Cheon Myeong death is an accident, so no one will bring or probe into the matter as Al Cheon’s plea is deem void. If Al Cheon persist with the matter will be consider a threat to Silla’s security as a rebellion & will be dealt as such. Al Cheon could not take the decision made as an accident as Seol Won Rang goes back to the Grand Hall & Al Cheon is stop in his tracks
Mi Shil look defeated as Seol Won Rang said it was a difficult call to made but they need to cut their loses & build again with another chance of an opportunity. Mi Shil asked about Dae Nam Bo. Seol Won Rang said that Mi Saeng had send Dae Nam Bo off with the emissary mission to Sui China that very evening to bring back Kim Chun Chu. Mi Shil asked about Joo Bang & Go Do. Seol Won Rang said that still confine in the temple
Mi Saeng comes to Mi Shil gagged & swords are draw at him. Mi Shil give her brother a poison potion & invites him to drink it up. Mi Saeng asked how can Mi Shil allow him to drink poison as he is her brother. Mi Shil tell that she had abandon her own off spring & what is there in sibling, there is nothing that she can’t do. Mi Shil will get rid of people that is no use to her or disobedient. Mi Saeng plea to his sister to give him another chance. Mi Saeng said that Seo Ri had persist & insist that Deok Man should be killed. Mi Shil tell of can he listen to Seo Ri who inferiority to her. Mi Saeng said that Seo Ri had read the stars that Cheon Jun constellation is going to clash against the Buk Rak Sa Mun constellation & it is fast encroaching.
I like the way they conduct the conversation so cordially
Cheon Jun is Celestial Wine Cup is one of the part of the “Well” or literally the Jing Xiu in Chinese is the Constellation of Gemini. It is one of the 28 mansion of the Chinese constellation. It is one of the 7 southern lunar mansions of the Vermilion Bird. Well have 19 asterisms
Buk Rak Sa Mun is known as Dark Warrior or North Emperor in the Chinese astronomy. It is part of the northern part of the constellation of Pisces
Mi Shil is upset that how dare Seo Ri dictates her almighty destiny & fate with the stars. Mi Saeng concurs that it is so. Mi Shil asked what is with the Cheon Jun (Gemini) that is going to clash with her Buk Rak Sa Mun (Pisces). Mi Shil thinks it is a bunch of nonsense craps as no one is able to undermined her divinity. Mi Shil said that they have lost a great opportunity in Cheon Myeong’s demise. Mi Saeng with his intelligent tells Mi Shil there is another way, they need to come up with a solar eclipse & Abbot Wyol Cheon can come up with the calculation for a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse will supersede a lunar eclipse as an out of ordinary event. Mi Saeng said that Mi Shil can use this opportunity to reap benefits that she desires. Mi Shil know that it is difficult to predict solar eclipse & can’t be done by mere calculation. Mi Saeng know that it is difficult but however they have Abbot Wyol Cheon that might assist them. Mi Saeng said that Abbot Wyol Cheon was accurate in his mathematic for the Dae Ming Ryeol. Mi Saeng asked whether that is true to the fact & sell himself that Mi Shil really needs his intelligence for her ploy & scheme, if Mi Shil goes without Seo Ri & what more without him, how will she able to execute her schemes. Mi Saeng asked MI Shil to forgive him just this once for his folly & he will never repeat this again as he promised
Seo Ri in her celestial shrine altar meditating where Mi Shil comes for a visit. Mi Shil asked why Seo Ri did what she did. Seo Ri said that she originally her scope was to study the star & relay heaven’s will & divinity to the masses. Mi Shil said that is why she & Seo Ri had together built this nation with that divinity. Seo Ri said however that Mi Shil had changed since & gone upstart against heaven’s will. Mi Shil said that it was Seo Ri who had claim that she (Mi Shil) had the favour of the heavens. Seo Ri said that it is correct, but ones must remember that the favour of Cheon Yui (heaven’s will) rest on a person is not fix & permanent & so that favour can quiver & waver from that person’s residence at a moment’s notice as it doesn’t rest on one person for long
Cheon Yui is will of heaven
Mi Shil doesn’t like what she hears from Seo Ri. Then she recall Cheon Myeong saying the exact same words that heaven’s will doesn’t rest on one person for a long time & warns Mi Shil not to be too arrogant & bighead. Return to the present as Mi Shil hold her emotion down & asked what then. Seo Ri tells that the heaven’s favour will be lost as quickly as it came for the infidels & doesn’t respect divinity that heaven’s governance. Mi Shil asked whether heaven’s will had already left her out of favour. Seo Ri turns to Mi Shil & earnestly tell Mi Shil don’t ever undermine what heaven’s can do. Mi Shil understands what Seo Ri had said & Seo Ri needs to reconsider some matter as well. Mi Shil offers poison potion to Seo Ri as Seo Ri raise an eye brow on Mi Shil’s offer
There is a Chinese saying that the previous waves will be always be rolled over by the oncoming waves
Al Cheon feeling deject goes to the woods to commit suicide as couldn’t seek justice for Cheon Myeong’s death. Al Cheon knees & bow to heaven then as he kneels down about to do his ritual suicide he draw his short sword as he about to stab himself, someone comes running up to him & he is surprise. Meanwhile Mi Shil’s camp Ha Jong is throwing the blame at Seol Won Rang that he had lost Deok Man & that is why the matter had come to this mess. Ha Jong blames that that Seol Won Rang bungled they have missed a golden opportunity to reveal the existence of the twin princess. Ha Jong asked how Seol Won Rang going to rectify his blunder. Ha Jong express disappointment with Seol Won Rang & asked if Seol Won Rang done this on purpose. Seol Won Rang what are they trying to imply as Se Jong concur that the suspicion itself has some truth in that. Se Jong tells that Seol Won Rang thinks that he will not gain any benefit if Se Jong was made King. Seol Won Rang is not please with that argument as Mi Shil asked what are they bickering about.
Mi Shil tells them not to be petty over matter among themselves. Mi Shil believes that the truth will be disclose of the twin princess even without their intervention. Se Jong asked what Mi Shil is implying. Mi Shil said judging from Deok Man’s personality right down to Seo Ri’s revelation, the person who is going to disclose that secret of the twin birth will be coming to Seorabeol on her own accord. Mi Shil is anticipating Deok Man’s return to Seorabeol.
Deok Man came to stop Al Cheon from performing his ritual suicide. Al Cheon is surprise to see her as he asked her to stand aside. This is none of her concern to intercept. Deok Man tells Al Cheon he is really disrespectful. Deok man said that even Mi Shil doesn’t acknowledge her or the Royal Household denies her existence, she asked whether Al Cheon acknowledge her. Al Cheon giving a 2nd thought tell Deok Man that she will be in danger if she stays on at Silla. Al Cheon asked whether he is worried & concern about her welfare or the welfare of Silla as a nation. Deok Man tell that she will not run away. Deok Man vowed that she will continue to live on & survive in Silla as Princess of this nation, the be the Princess that reigned over the propriety of Hwa Rang. Deok Man orders Al Cheon to carry on living. Al Cheon said that he is guilty that he couldn’t fulfil his duty & ashamed to face heavens. Al Cheon remorse for not able to protect Cheon Myeong.
Deok Man asked Cheon Myeong to tolerate that guilt within him that she too have to tolerate the same guilt, if al Cheon wishes to die, live with that feeling of guilt that you must survive & tolerate all those feeling of failure & despair within you, tolerate those feelings within that you wish to die. Deok Man as the proprietor of Hwa Rang orders him to tolerate
Al Cheong pledge his legion to Deok man as the proprietor of Hwa Rang & will respect & obey her command. Deok man clench her hand with determination as she is one step forward. Queen Maya is still ill in bed as King Jinpyeong beg his wife to regain consciousness & reprimand him or console him as he is so alone. Then Eul Jae & Kim Yong Chu comes to seek audience. Eul Jae comes to advice King Jinpyeong that he needs to be strong for the nation. The most important thing is that they need to establish the stronghold of the power of the Royal Household. King Jinpyeong is not taking kindly or seem to have some resentment to what Eul Jae has to say or advice that they need to find an heir apparent to his throne as the people are grieving & mourning over the death of Princess Cheon Myeong, Eul Jae suggest that they need to siege on public sentiment & sympathy to make their move to stabilise the Royal Household. Eul Jae said that they need to make Kim Chun Chu as the heir apparent. Eul Jae said that let not have Cheon Myeong die in vain as she sacrifice her life to preserve the Royal Household
King Jinpyeong commands & fires Eul Jae from his Ministerial position in Bung Gu Ba Chik then Sak Tal Gwan Chik. King Jinpyeong never question Eul Jae’s loyalty to the Royal Household nor King Jinpyeong ever question his stealth movement without consulting the King that he did behind his back. King Jinpyeong did what Eul Jae had advice him down to the letter but now he can’t bear to even look at Eul Jae. Eul Jae tries to explained but King Jinpyeong for the 1st time express in his outburst that he wouldn’t hear none of it that he had sacrifice so much of himself & his family for the sake of the Royal Household, only to have reap tragic result that befallen on his family that he can’t even protect any of his own children, his wife the Queen is gravely ill on the brink of death & the Royal Household is in tatters. King Jinpyeong asked Eul Jae to leave from his sight
Bu Gu Ba Chik is dismissal from Ministerial position
Sak Tal Gwan Chik is strip of all ranks & status, an aristocrat demoted to be a commoner
Kim Yong Chu asked King Jinpyeong to forgive Eul Jae. Eul Jae pay his respect to King Jinpyeong & leaves without defending himself & leaves as ordered. Eul Jae asked forgiveness from King Jinheung that he can’t able to fulfil his last wishes. Then to King Jinpyeong that he can’t serve him anymore that is due to his great lackings & wishes that he has longevity. King Jinpyeong look at a distance as Eul Jae leaves the palace
King Jinpyeong faints as the strain had got into him. Then he notice Al Cheon. King Jinpyeong approaches Al Cheon who was in the entrance of the Grand hall. Al Cheon greets King Jinpyeong as King Jinpyeong asked if he has something to say to him. Al Cheon hands King Jinpyeong a letter. King Jinpyeong ask what is the content of the letter. Al Cheon tells that he had been order to deliver the letter to King Jinpyeong. King Jinpyeong reads the letter. It is from Deok Man
Deok Man: Your highness, your 2nd daughter, Princess of this nation, Deok Man……
King Jinpyeong is surprise to receive her letter. Al Cheon also comes to seek audience with to Queen Maya as he need to see her at once. Queen Maya personal palace maid said that currently it is difficult to see Queen Maya. Al Cheon insist that he need to see Queen Maya
Kim Yu Shin finds Guk San Heun & asked if he had seen Al Cheon. Al Cheon comes running as Kim Yu Shin asked whether Al Cheon has seen Deok Man. Kim Yu Shin said that Deok Man had started something in plans & he needs to look for her. Meanwhile Deok Man asked whether Bi Dam is going to join to her legions. Bi Dam wants to observe what Deok Man is planning to do before he decides. Deok Man tells that Bi Dam is indeed rude & he had to respect her in protocol. Bi Dam asked whether he needs to conform to that kind of protocols. Deok Man said that she may be estranged but still a Royal Princess of this nation of Silla, doesn’t Bi Dam had the slightest deterrence. Bi Dam never concerned or bother himself with politics or country. Even if the King stand in front of him, he still doesn’t know how to reacted & he doesn’t care less on what is King & Country. Deok Man said that no matter who stand in front of him, he showed confidence & had no fear. Bi Dam said that fear is not in his dictionary
Deok Man said that he is confident & he can conceal his true feeling. Bi Dam said that he doesn’t even know how he is feeling & who will want to give concern or interest on how he feels. Deok Man tells until she said so, he doesn’t need to use protocol to address her. As for now they will conduct in normal conversation as before. Bi Dam said that it not hard to do. Deok Man asked whether he is so confident that he fears no one. Bio Dam affirms it as Kim Yu Shin comes barging into the room rather upset then drags Deok Man out in the open
Kim Yu Shin question what Deok man is trying to do. Kim Yu Shin said that whether in life or death, he will be with Deok Man & he wants Deok man to tell if she is planning to try to assassinate Mi Shil or Deok man is trying to reinstate her position as Royal Princess or else Deok Man is seeking revenge on Silla who had abandon her. Even if it so, Seorabeol is still a dangerous place for her to be in. Kim Yu Shin takes her to leave as Deok Man said that she really don’t know whether Deok man should include Kim Yu Shin in her plans or not, she doesn’t know. Kim Yu Shin said no matter what it may be, he always be with her & that he will do
Deok Man said that her spirit may be weakened if she were to have Kim Yu Shin. Deok Man tells that from now onwards, Kim Yu Shin will never able to stroke her hair; never will he able to call her by name; never will able to hold her in embrace or never be able to hold her hands. Kim Yu Shin drops his grip on Deok Man’s hand as Deok Man leaves, a distraught Kim Yu Shin behind. Deok Man to herself said that it is best that she only keep him in her heart
The serenading ballad song is really nice for this scene. I suppose that when Deok Man decided that she intend to be Queen Regnant of Silla, there is no room for love thus no place for Kim Yu Shin
King Jinpyeong comes to see Queen Maya who has regain consciousness but still gravely ill & with the support of her palace maid decided to go the Royal Celestial Shrine. King Jinpyeong is against his sick & weak Queen to do such effort activities after her slight recovery. Queen Maya insist that she must pray at the Royal Celestial Shrine as she didn’t attend to Cheon Myeong’s funeral due to her illness, the least she can do for her daughter is to pray for her reposed soul in the Royal Celestial Shrine so that she may rest in peace. King Jinpyeong said that Queen Maya may do so when she is feeling better. Queen Maya said she can’t, she must do so now as she need to sent Cheon Myeong to Nirvana & asked King Jinpyeong to allow her & promise him that she will return as soon as she send her daughter off in prayers
In the Royal Celestial Shrine, Queen Maya asked for High Priestess Seo Ri but the Shrine maid said that Seo Ri is gravely ill & can’t attend to Queen Maya. Queen Maya understand & she was to be alone to pray for Cheon Myeong reposed souls & asked no one to enter the Royal Celestial Shrine, she will noly have her palace maid to attend to her inside. As Queen Maya enters the Royal Celestial Shrine, only one palace maid follow her behind as Queen Maya kneels before the altar. Queen Maya asked why she had return. The palace maid is Deok Man. Deok Man had heard that Queen Maya was gravely ill. Queen Maya address Deok man as her beloved child. Queen Maya from the moment she heard from Al Cheon about her news, she regain consciousness from her illness
Queen Maya asked Deok Man, what her intention are being in Seorabeol. Deok Man wants to go to the basement of the Royal Celestial Shrine that Cheon Myeong had discovered. Queen Maya is concern why she needs to go there, what she wants to do there. Deok man said she needs to look for something. Queen Maya fears that she may lose Deok Man as well in these adventures that she put herself at risk. Queen Maya asked what Deok Man is trying to achieve from that.
Seo Ri with her poison potion as she contemplate when she heard noises, then a palace maid comes in & reveal it is Deok Man & surprise Seo Ri. Deok Man points a knife at Seo Ri. Seo Ri asked how dare Deok Man come here. Deok Man said that Seo Ri is the servitude of heaven & yet in the Royal Celestial Shrine there is such secret rooms & using these trickery to cheat people that it is heaven’s will. Deok Man said that they are manipulating heaven’s will to instill fear in the people therefore not qualified to serve heavens. Seo Ri asked whether Deok man is here to kill her. Deok Man said the likes of people like her is not worthwhile
Then Seo Ri had a vision that she sees Deok Man wearing the Silla Crown & is taken back. Deok man asked who is the person who decipher the Dae Myeong Ryeol as Seo Ri is so shock in what she see in her vision. Seo Ri mutter that whether it is by chance that Deok Man is the Gaeyang star. Deok Man wonders what is Gaeyang star all about. Seo Ri mutter that indeed that Deok Man is that person. Deok Man asked what is Seo Ri muttering about as she wants the answer to who decipher the Dae Myeong Ryeol. Suddenly the sound of the door opens as Seo Ri had a change of heart & asked Deok Man to go hide behind the screen. Deok man goes to hide behind the screen as Mi Shil comes in to asked for the last time whether Seo Ri will obey & give Mi Shil her loyalty. Seo Ri in turn also give Mi Shil her last advice that if Mi Shil ever capture the younger twin that Mi Shil needs to kill her instantly
Mi Shil doesn’t understand what Seo Ri is implying as Deok Man grips her knife tighter. Seo Ri tells that Mi Shil had reap more than enough political power but becoming the Queen of this nation is not destiny or fate.
