Queen Seon Deok carry on
Kim Yu Shin is handcuff as Bi Dam enters the questioning room. Bi Dam said that Wyol Ya has help in his escape then he should be aware that where he is now. Bi Dam asked him to spill it out. Kim Yu Shin keep his silence as Bi Dam asked him why then did he return, if he not going to divulge Bo Gya Hoe’s whereabouts, why he return to Queen Seon Deok’s embrace.

Queen Seon Deok asked that in which Sovereign will ever tolerate to have such underground resistance like Bo Gya Hoe to roam freely & develop in this country. Kim Yu Shin said that Queen Seon Deok is correct bit however Bo Gya Hoe has the consensus support of the general Gaya descent population. If Queen Seon Deok can’t win over & convert them to change their fidelity towards her then Gaya descent & Silla will never be united. Kim Yu Shin doesn’t wish for the Gaya descent to become excluded from existence & I don’t wish for Queen Gaya to be the Sovereign to reap the resentment of the Gaya descent with hatred as Kim Yu Shin begs Queen Seon Deok
Queen Seon Deok argues that the Gaya descent might has integrated with Silla as subject but however Bo Gya Hoe can’t be comply.

Kim Chun Chu asked Queen Seon Deok on what decision she has made on the matter in regards to Kim Yu Shin. Queen Seon Deok looks irritate. Kim Chun Chu reminds that if Kim Yu Shin were to lost then the balance of power will tip to Bi Dam & his faction & they must allow that to happened
Queen Seon Deok & Kim Chun Chu really good at playing the manipulation game of trying to balance of Bi Dam & Kim Yu Shin to work to their advantage & benefits, this is what Sovereign do, or else they wouldn’t be the person investitured to sit on the throne. Therefore sometimes they can be seen as ruthless
Queen Seon Deok argues that Bo Gya Hoe wish to install Kim Yu Shin as Sovereign & with that, is Kim Chun Chu suggest that she has to hand over the power of Silla Military to such a person. Kim Chun Chu said that but if Queen Seon Deok accords to what is happening then Bi dam will surely gain the control of the courts. Queen Seon Deok asked does he know the reason why she need to exterminated Bo Gya Hoe. Queen Seon Deok said that she has the utmost trust in Kim Yu Shin but as long as I am the Sovereign, Kim Yu Shin will never incite otherwise, in that manner that also goes the same for Wyol Ya but however the matter lies when or whom succeed her, when she passes, the Royal Household can’t be had full control of the state & court & the person who succeed her, no matter whether it is Kim Yu Shin or Bi Dam or anyone else the matter that has aspiration to gain that throne. Queen Seon Deok tells that Kim Chun Chu is a Jingol & if he has no resolve to control this nation or the courts, even if you declare that he is the posterity of Princess Cheon Myeong will not able to entitled you to the throne, no matter whether your hands are tainted with mud or blood or be it Bi Dam & Kim Yu Shin, Kim Chun Chu must conquer & force subservient to them & usurp forcefully to secure that throne from them

Queen Seon Deok gave a dismissal order to Kim Seo Hyeon as it is a reprimand that Wyol Ya & Kim Yu Shin were his subordination & therefore Kim Seo Hyeon must be held responsibility for his failure to be punished for dereliction of duty but since Baekje’s troop movement seem somewhat suspicious, she will retain Kim Seo Hyeon’s present posting but will allow Seol Won Rang to audit as an observer as a shadow Minister. Kim Seo Hyeon has to accept Queen Seon Deok’s decision. Queen Seon Deok said that at this present moment, Ministry of Audit must remain all their resource for Bo Gya Hoe & also to turn & add their attention to investigate on the rising situation in Baekje and Goguryeo. Bi Dam has to swallow a bitter pill. Queen Seon Deok said that from hence onwards, Ministry of Audit & Military Affairs will now report & be under the responsibilities to Sangdaedeung Kim Yong Chun & Nae Sang Sa Shin Kim Chun Chu

Bi Dam goes to speak to Queen Seon Deok privately on the reason for her decision. Queen Seon Deok reiterate as it was just been told that now the importance priority is on the present situation in Baekje & Goguryeo has come to play than the reorganisation of the courts. BI Dam asked whether Queen Seon Deok doesn’t trust him as he said that Kim Yu shin was the person in the wrong & why he is now being reprimanded & sidelined. Bi Dam tells Queen Seon Deok that Kim Yu Shin is no longer here but yet he can’t able to continued to stay by Queen Seon Deok’s side to serve her. Bi Dam said that his fidelity towards Queen Seon Deok is solely in devotion; Queen Seon Deok can’t see it. Queen Seon Deok reply she has seen it, not only she sees his desire for her but how much Bi Dam idolise her. Bi Dam asked what is then as Queen Seon Deok asked Bi Dam does he what she is the most she envious about Mi Shil…it is that she was never a Sovereign. For Mi Shil she just to play gullible foolery in love & enter marital ties that she can increase her influence. But as for Queen Seon Deok if she were to pay that game, it will become the seed of controvert, would that be so. Queen Seon Deok queries Bi Dam whether he really indent to lent her to support his rise of power to ascend Silla’s throne. Don’t she think that BI Dam has those aspiration. Queen Seon Deok said that it is not as thought she doesn’t have human’s emotion & feelings & would like someone that loves her & she can lean on for comfort & support in a person warm embrace with their sentimental support of praise of encouragement, doesn’t he think that she doesn’t wish to have those. Queen Seon Deok said that that Bi Dam’s warm touches, does he think that she doesn’t feel that it will make her heart to flutter & throbs. Bi Dam goes to embrace her that surprise Queen Seon Deok for his fast reaction but Queen Seon Deok hesitates to hug Bi Dam & pushes him away to say that it is impossible for she is….Bi Dam asked her why she can’t. Queen Seon Deok directly tell that she is no longer a woman but she can only be to Bi Dam….a Sovereign.

Queen Seon Deok tells Bi Dam to diminished any thought that he will able posses her to cherish or love her. Bi Dam asked Queen Seon Deok whether love is a possession. Queen Seon Deok asked Bi Dam don’t force her to make a choice & whomever it may be there will be no one who will able to posses her as long as she is still in her reign. Bi Dam looks deject from Queen Seon Deok’s rejection of him as suitor as Bi Dam leave rather upset
Ha Jong gets work up that Queen Seon Deok orders a downgrade the Ministry of Audit. Mi Saeng said that Ministry of Audit that they can’t directly go to Queen Seon Deok’s for approval & consent that they need to go through Nae Sang. Ha Jong said that why did Queen Seon Deok allow us to do this portfolio. Seol Won Rang said that Queen Seon Deok after going through this exercise of incidents has already understand that Bi Dam’s influence has been amassed. Mi Saeng said that they have been given the task to clean up Bo Gya Hoe’s covet activities is now under solely their responsibility & Ha Jong said that if it should fail then they will be made liable. Yeom Jong said that if they fails & the clean up goes to….Seol Won Rang said that she will recalled Kim Yu Shin
