SINOPSIS THE GREAT QUEEN SEON DEOK EPISODE 66

Kuatir kedoknya terbongkar, Yeomjong mengutus orang untuk menghabisi Santak (Kang Sung-pil). Sementara itu di istana, giliran Ratu Seon Deok (Lee Yo-won) yang bingung saat diceritakan kalau Bidam (Kim Nam-gil) mengira dirinya menyuruh orang untuk menghabisi sang perdana menteri.

Berbagai kejadian yang begitu mengejutkan membuat kondisi fisik Ratu Seon Deok langsung merosot tajam. Ketika Yushin (Uhm Tae-woong) menghadap, Ratu Seon Deok menceritakan ketidakberdayaannya yang meski sadar kalau Bidam dijebak oleh Yeomjong, ia tetap tidak mampu membela sang pria yang dicintai. Melihat dilema yang dialami sang junjungan, Yushin hanya bisa menatap dengan perasaan sedih.

Meski berat, Ratu Seon Deok akhirnya mengirimkan perintah yang tegas : Bidam dan para pengikutnya harus dihukum mati. Sama-sama memutuskan untuk mengerahkan pasukan, dua orang yang saling mencintai akhirnya harus saling berhadapan dengan taruhan nyawa.

Dengan suara keras, Ratu Seon Deok berpidato untuk memompa semangat tempur pasukannya pasukan. Namun dibelakangnya, Alcheon (Lee Seung-hyo) menatap sang ratu dengan wajah kuatir karena demi melihat wajahnya yang pucat dan keringat yang terus menetes dari dahi wanita penguasa Shilla itu.

Setelah berbicara di depan pasukan, Ratu Seon Deok tiba-tiba nyaris terjatuh saat hendak kembali ke istana. Keruan saja, hal ini membuat Alcheon, Yushin, Chunchu (Yoo Seung-ho), dan Kim Seohyeon (Jung Sung-mo) kuatir.

Bertepatan dengan ambruknya sang ratu, bintang yang berada di atas istana tiba-tiba jatuh dan menghilang. Langsung dianggap sebagai pertanda kalau kekuasaan Ratu Seon Deok sudah mencapai akhir, kesempatan itu digunakan Bidam untuk mengobarkan semangat pasukannya.

Saat tahu kalau penyakit Ratu Seon Deok sudah lama diketahui tabib, Yushin dengan wajah kuatir berusaha mencari tahu. Namun, sang ratu malah berbicara tentang mimpinya bertemu dengan seorang wanita berpakaian putih yang tiba-tiba memeluknya sambil meneteskan air mata. Kuatir kalau Ratu Seon Deok mulai mengigau, Yushin diingatkan oleh Alcheon untuk mengurungkan niatnya bertanya tentang penyakit sang putri.

Begitu diberi ijin untuk mengerahkan pasukan, Yushin mulai menyusun strategi. Meski sempat diserang, Bidam mengira kalau apa yang dilakukan Yushin adalah demi memancing pasukannya keluar sarang. Perkiraannya salah besar. Tiba-tiba terjadi kehebohan di luar markas musuh, bintang yang semula jatuh kembali ke langit.

Sempat terpukau dengan strategi tersebut, Bidam baru sadar bahwa selain menurunkan moral pasukan, bintang tersebut merupakan isyarat dari Yushin untuk melakukan serangan secara serentak. Munculnya Santak (Jang Sung-pil) yang membawa kabar bahwa Yeomjong adalah dalang dibalik semua kejadian membuat semangat tempur Bidam langsung sirna.

SINOPSIS THE GREAT QUEEN SEON DEOK EPISODE 67 (akhir)

Ketika dikonfrontir, Yeomjong dengan tawa liciknya langsung mengatakan bahwa yang harus disalahkan atas semua kejadian bukanlah dirinya melainkan Bidam (Kim Nam-gil) sendiri, yang disebut menyimpan ambisi tampil sebagai raja. Kali ini Bidam tidak mau lagi mengulang kesalahannya, ia langsung menusuk Yeomjong hingga tewas.

Sebelum keluar, Bidam bertemu dengan Misaeng (Jung Woong-in), yang mengatakan bahwa pria itu tidak bisa lagi menyalahkan siapapun kecuali dirinya sendiri yang memiliki hati lemah dan mudah dipengaruhi. Sempat meneteskan air mata, Misaeng yang ditemani oleh Hajong (Kim Jung-hyun) bersimpuh didepan kuburan Mishil sambil menanti kemunculan pasukan Shilla.

Saat para tawanan tengah digiring, Yushin (Uhm Tae-woong) sadar bahwa tidak ada Bidam diantara mereka, ia langsung memerintahkan bawahannya untuk membekuk sang mantan perdana menteri. Di saat yang sama, Bidam sendiri berniat menemui Ratu Seon Deok (Lee Yo-won) untuk mengakui semua dosa-dosanya. Sebelum pergi, ia berpesan pada Santak (Kang Sung-pil) supaya bawahannya yang paling setia itu pergi sejauh-jauhnya dari Shilla.

Sempat menatap kepergian junjungannya dengan hati sedih, mata Santak terbelalak karena sebuah panah tiba-tiba menembus tubuhnya. Dengan cepat, pasukan kerajaan mengelilingi Bidam, yang langsung menghunus pedangnya. Pertempuran sengit tidak bisa dielakkan dan meski cuma sendirian, Bidam ternyata terlalu tangguh bagi prajurit biasa.

Menghabisi setiap prajurit yang merintangi jalannya, tujuan Bidam ternyata cuma satu : mendatangi tempat dimana Ratu Seon Deok berada. Dihadang oleh penjagaan berlapis, Bidam tidak menggubris permintaan Yushin supaya dirinya tidak membunuh orang lagi dan terus merangsek maju. Tersenyum getir karena sadar dirinya sudah tidak punya harapan lagi, Bidam menantang Yushin untuk bertarung.

Namun, tantangan tersebut ternyata hanya kamuflase Bidam, yang sadar dirinya sudah kalah segalanya dari Yushin, untuk bisa mendekati Ratu Seon Deok. Meskipun tangguh, Bidam tidak bisa menghindar ketika puluhan anak panah terbang ke arahnya. Meski begitu, fokusnya hanya satu : berapa langkah lagi yang harus ditempuh untuk bisa mencapai Ratu Seon Deok.

Dengan mata merah dan wajah berlumuran darah, Bidam terus berjalan maju mendekati Ratu Seon Deok sehingga Yushin tidak punya pilihan lagi selain menusuk pria yang merupakan bekas sahabat sekaligus rekan seperjuangannya itu. Sebelum ambruk, Bidam menggumamkan nama Deokman untuk terakhir kalinya. Tak lama setelah menyampaikan perintah kepada para bawahannya, Ratu Seon Deok jatuh pingsan tepat disamping jenazah Bidam.

Begitu siuman, Ratu Seon Deok yang sadar umurnya tidak lama lagi memanggil Alcheon (Lee Seung-hyo) dan meminta sang pengawal setia untuk mengisi posisi perdana menteri yang ditinggalkan Bidam. Tak lama kemudian ketika Yushin datang bertamu, Ratu Seon Deok mengajak jendral kepercayaannya tersebut untuk keluar dan melihat Shilla dari atas bukit.

Di sana, Ratu Seon Deok mulai merenungi hal-hal yang telah dilewatinya dan sadar bahwa dari sekian banyak orang, cuma Yushin yang setia menemaninya hingga akhir. Menitipkan Shilla dan cita-cita penyatuan Tiga Kerajaan pada Yushin, Ratu Seon Deok menceritakan mimpi terakhirnya yang begitu berkesan.

Puluhan tahun berlalu, Yushin kembali ke Shilla setelah menaklukkan Baekje dan bertemu dengan Alcheon yang tengah bersiap memasuki masa pensiun. Bagamana dengan nasib Ratu Seon Deok? Rupanya tak lama setelah menceritakan mimpinya, sang ratu mencucurkan air mata dan menarik napas untuk terakhir kalinya...sebelum kemudian wafat.

Dalam mimpinya, Deokman (Nam Ji-hyun) yang tengah berusaha melacak keberadaan Munno berjalan di tengah pasar dan bertemu dengan seorang wanita berpakaian putih yang tiba-tiba memeluknya sambil bercucuran air mata. Rupanya, wanita berpakaian putih yang diam seribu bahasa itu adalah Deokman dewasa alias Ratu Seon Deok sendiri, yang cuma bisa berbicara dalam hati mengasihani sosok remajanya yang bakal mengalami begitu banyak penderitaan.

Sudah tentu, aksi wanita dewasa dihadapannya membuat Deokman remaja bingung, ia memutuskan untuk tidak menghiraukan kejadian tersebut dan meneruskan petualangannya. Dari belakang, sang ratu cuma bisa mendoakan dirinya yang masih remaja untuk bisa bertahan karena hanya lewat Deokman-lah maka Shilla bisa memenuhi impian besar yang tidak bisa dilakukan siapapun : menyatukan Tiga Kerajaan.

SYNOPSIS THE GREAT QUEEN SEON DEOK EPISODE 62

Wyolseong; the crowd rally in cheers & Queen Seon Deok stands at the podium is happy to see such arousing response. Al Cheon is showing more concern for Queen Seon Deok’s health as Queen Seon Deok beginning to feel the strain of the crisis & having faints & break into cold sweat as she tries to struggle with it as she Majesty waves to her rally & cheering subjects. Queen Seon Deok leaves the podium & leaves with the rest just as she was about to enter the palace, Queen Seon Deok staggers in her steps as she is light headedness. Al Cheon grabs hold on her arm to support & asked Queen Seon Deok to pardon his insolence that he will like to carry her. Queen Seon Deok said that the population are still watching them as they are still in their sight. Queen Seon Deok said that she will able to make it to her chambers. Al Cheon takes his hands away to obey as Queen Seon Deok takes a deep breath to staggers in her walking. Kim Yu Shin finds something amiss about Queen Seon Deok

Queen Seon Deok obviously has heart attacks warning signs that we has already learn, pain & discomfort at the centre of her chest; dyspnea – shortness of breath, breaking out in cold sweat, light headedness. Sweat is a good indicator that an apparent heart attack is coming since Queen Seon Deok has not exerted herself in any physical exercise. Queen Seon Deok must have pre-congestive heart disease

While cheering in the crowd & someone notice a star yonder in the sky started to dimmer in its glitter as everyone looks up to the sky on the strange characteristic & phenomenon of the star is portraying then the stars falls from the sky

Contrary to popular belief, “falling stars” has nothing to do in relation to stars at all. These amazing streaks of light that you can sometimes see in the night sky are caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids falling into the Earth’s atmosphere as it is burning up. The short-lived trail of light the burning meteoroid produces what is called a meteor. Meteors are commonly called falling stars or shooting stars. If any part of the meteoroid survives the solid bodies from that travel & actually hits the Earth is then called meteors

At that moment, coincidently Queen Seon Deok collapse & slump down in a thud as Al Cheon tries to support her as Queen Seon Deok fights for her breath. Kim Chun Chu, Kim Yu Shin, Kim Seo Hyeon as Queen Seon Deok tells them to mum’s the words over her condition. Al Cheon orders the palanquin to be brought over here. Al Cheon’s men acknowledge his order. Kim Yu Shin asked what has happened. Al Cheon can only express grave concern. Kim Yu Shin looks at Queen Seon Deok trying to regain her breath & she struggles in grasping her breath. Then shouts from the crowd exclaiming the falling star as everybody roars in their attention

Mum’s the word means “is keep quiet & say nothing”. Mum is not to mean not “mother” but in medieval English means silence that derives from the ‘mmmmm’, the humming sound made with a closed mouth. The phase is used by Shakespeare in Henry VI Part 2 “Seal up your lips & give no word but mum”

Meanwhile in Myeonghwal Sanseong; Bi Dam & his faction witness the same phenomenon of the star & tells his faction that the star has fallen in Wyolseong & tells this is a divine sign that Wyolseong will be vanquish & subjugated. Wyolseong time & fortunes has expired. Wyolseong will bleeds in river of blood as Bi Dam draw his swords to say that heavens divinity is siding their faction together with them & rally for the new established Silla. Yeom Jong comes to lead the rally the shout that to praise longevity to Sangdaedeung Bi Dam. The nobles rally in cheers. Bi Dam tells himself that he will become Silla & as Silla then Deok Man will be his to behold.

Bi Dam is of course jealous that Queen Seon Deok has render her truth devotion & zeal towards Silla & he will take that Silla away & becomes Silla himself so that Queen Seon Deok will ardent him with the same selfless affection & dedication

The Royal Physician is concern over his pulse diagnostic of Queen Seon Deok’s pulse reading but Queen Seon Deok asked the Royal Physician just to write a prescription & will that do for her ailment. Royal Physician isn’t optimistic as her. Al Cheon is gravely concern as Queen Seon Deok finds the Royal Physician to be of no use & dismiss him & hasten him to leave. Royal Physician acknowledged & leaves. Kim Yu Shin comes in to asked where is Queen Seon Deok hasn’t been well. Queen Seon Deok sits up as Kim Yu Shin advice her to lay down. Queen Seon Deok said there is no need & brushes it is just a slight shortcoming in health & that if she continues to lied down, her head becomes heavy. Kim Yu Shin asked Queen when did her aliment started & what is the diagnostic of her ailment. Al Cheon & Queen Seon Deok doesn’t Kim Yu Shin queries as Kim Yu Shin persist to asked for answer

Queen Seon Deok goes to tell Kim Yu Shin about her 1st night in Silla after coming from the Taklamakan desert….Kim Yu Shin surprise how Queen Seon Deok started her sentence. Queen Seon Deok said that she dreamt of a dream. In the dream she was still in the midst of searching for Moon Noh. Young Deok man asking the market place merchant of the whereabouts of Moon Noh, with some saying that Moon Noh has taken tonsure in some monastery as the other disagree that he is now in Taebaeksan as another merchant seconded the fact that he can flies above the clouds. Young Deok Man is confuse with the many suggested locations that Moon Noh whereabouts might be founded. As Deok Man frantically goes searching for Moon Noh she bumps in to a lady dressed in white finery clothes almost like a Shrine goddess that radiant a certain enlightenment mystic aura & then comes to embrace the young Deok man fondly. Young Deok Man protests the embrace & struggles to free herself from the embrace. Deok Man looks at the white dressed lady. Return to the present as Queen Seon Deok related the story that the lady embrace her dearly & was weeping in tears, but yesterday night after many years later, the same dream reoccur again as Queen Seon Deok asked who is she….that lady. Kim Yu Shin said that he wants to know about Queen Seon Deok’s ailment & not the change the subject about a dream of long past. Al Cheon having been Queen Seon Deok trusted confidante asked who was that lady in that dream as Al Cheon looks at Kim Yu Shin to shake his head & not asked further about her health condition. Queen Seon Deok with her story said she doesn’t know who she is, that her face is not really clear that she can’t recall the face. Queen Seon Deok then orders Kim Yu Shin that the battle strategy that he has propose should proceed with her Royal consent & it will have to be expedite by tonight. Kim Yu Shin acknowledged & obeys her command

Kim Yu Shin is shocked to learn of Queen Seon Deok dire health condition from Al Cheon & he is in disbelieve. Al Cheon learned of this matter only recently. Kim Yu Shin said how can this be happening to Queen Seon Deok. Al Cheon said that because they are facing crisis, Queen Seon Deok doesn’t what her health condition to be spread as rumours & disturb the morale of the population that she order a gagged order on the Royal Physician over the status of her health condition that may spiral into a crisis to the unknown. Kim Yu Shin pains to see that Queen Seon Deok is suffering in her health. Kim Yu Shin comes to see Queen Seon Deok who is having a restless sleep then recalls that it was from her heartfelt sincerity that when she abdicates the throne & spends her rest of her life with Bi Dam in recluse was to be her final aspiration.

Kim Yu Shin with his military brief. Kim Yu Shin said that before more nobles starts to join up in Myeonghwal Sanseong, they must curb the numbers of participation before their imminent all out war on the insurgent. Kim Yu Shin said that the 4 direction of East, West, South & North simultaneously attacks on all frontal direction to laid siege the fortress. Im Jong asked whether they are going to use the feign attack. Wyol Ya said that the application diversion tactic make be just a trick. Kim Yu Shin said that it will be an honest attack there is no feign involve. Kim Yu Shin said that the direction of Dong West South & North will wait for all 4 gates to open, then Kim Yu Shin will lead the main army to attack the main gate of the Sanseong (Myeonghwal mountain fortress).

Seong Dong Jaek Sa is means “Make a sound in the east, then strike in the west” (聲東擊西). In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by attacking where he least expects it. To do this you must create an expectation in the enemy’s mind through the use of a tactical manoeuvre.

Bi Dam tells that the people of Wyolseong will want to ends this engagement quickly. Mi Saeng concurs that they need to strike as soon as they can possible before more nobility joins Bi Dam in forces. Bi Dam said that their victory is theirs if they can fortified & hold up the offensive siege & attack in Myeonghwal Sanseong. They just need to defends the offensive until Lord Hoyeon & the rest of the nobles comes with cumulate garrison. Lord Sueulbu concurs that the garrison in charge of security for the shelter residence is also making their way to Seorabeol. Ho Jae confirms that by tomorrow their force will increase by 5,000 elite soldiers. Lord Jujin said the combination of force that has been cumulated in nearing 20,000 that is an adequate force to be reckon with to laid their offensive. Ha Jong laughs that the gathering of forces are all heading towards their faction that they has all rushes towards Seorabeol. Bi Dam said that before the cumulating force has yet to arrived, they must not be provoke to engage with Wyolseong but to maintain defensive in Myeonghwal Sanseong. Bi Dam said tonight or the next morning place the critical factor. Bi Dam said that they need to hold out for 2 days then the scale of balance for victory will be siding in their favour

Kim Yu Shin runs his brief on the siege of Myeonghwal Sanseong that the defensive line of battle will have Al Cheon to attack & breach with conspicuously. Al Cheon has got the permission from Queen Seon Deok who cordially gave her consent for Al Cheon to expedite that attacks. When he has breach the defensive line of battle successful; Im Jong, Deok Chung, Baek Eui, Wyol Ya & their garrison will simultaneously be responsible to attack the four gates of the fortress. Kim Seo Hyeon expresses his doubts & thinks that Kim Yu Shin’s strategy it is really stretching their resource in this engagement. If Al Cheon were to attacks the defensive line of battle but the others will be split to the 4 gates as they attack simultaneously, how are they going to coordinate logistics & gain control for all the attacks in commands & order. Al Cheon agrees that if they sounds the war trumpets, then the enemy will hear it. If they put fire beacon will not be visible to the garrison that is surrounding the mountain fortress hence they can’t see the signal. Kim Yong Chun asked whether there is a must that be something of a signal that all their garrison will be visible to see & yet the enemy is unaware & can’t detect it as a signal, is there one signal to be reckon. Kim Yu Shin said it is because there is a falling “star” that was sighted in Wyolseong that their military morale has slump. Kim Yu Shin said that he will make that “star “ rise up & ascend to the sky again that will be the said signal

Wyol Ya’s Gwoljangno garrison with their fire projectile as they attack Myeonghwal Sanseong defensive line of battle. Fire arrows hitting their targets. Seon Yeol & Hwang Yun sounds that it is an attack that hey need to fortify their defences as they put up their shield protection from the fiery projectiles & still the fire arrows can meet their targets. Wyol Ya, Seo Ji & Dae Pung storm the 1st line of as Al Cheon waits as the number thins down, Al Cheon signal with Guk San Heun, Yang Gil to attack the defensive line of battle. Wyol ya then managed to subdue Seon Yeol. Meanwhile Hwang Yun fights bravely to defend then sounds the war trumpet. Al Cheon rushes to him & cut down his trumpet & subjugate Hwang Yun. Guk San Heun & Dae Pung comes to Al Cheon & ordered them to go & prepare it ready. Yang Gil takes a torch & starts to waves for a signal. A large kite about to take flight with a straw effigy attached

Many stories exist about Kim Yu-shin. It is told that once he was ordered to subdue a rebel army, but his troops refused to fight as they had seen a large shooting star fall from the sky and believed it to be a bad omen. To regain control, the General Kim Yu Shin used a large kite to carry a fire ball into the sky. The soldiers, seeing the star return to heaven, rallied and defeated the rebels. It is also said that General Kim ingeniously used kites as a means of communication between his troops when split between islands and the mainland. It is also said that, another time, while Silla was allied with China against Baekje, an argument broke out between Kim’s commander and a Chinese general. As the argument escalated into a potentially bloody confrontation, Kim’s sword was said to have leaped from its scabbard into his hand. Because the sword of a warrior was believed to be his soul, this occurrence so frightened the Chinese general that he immediately apologised to the Silla officers. Incidents such as this kept the Chinese in awe of the Hwarang, and meant that in later years, when asked by the Chinese emperor to attack Silla, the Chinese generals refused, claiming that although Silla was small, it could not be defeated.

Bo Jong comes calling to inform that the defensive line of battle has come under attack. This surprise Bi Dam’s faction as Mi Saeng wants to confirm that the defensive line of battle is being under attack. Bo Jong said that it has been attack by Gwoljangno garrison. Hwang Yun said that there are attacks in North & South & near the river ways there is movements of enemy forces. Ha Jong asked are they being surrounded in attack from all 4 cardinal points & 8 inter cardinal directions

4 cardinal points are East, South West & North. The Chinese reads their direction in a circular while the westerner chose the cross which in North South East & West

8 internal cardinal directions is Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest.

Mi Saeng tells that this is must be just a feign attack. Lord Sueulbu said that it is just a ploy to fabricate that it is an all frontal attacks. Lord Jujin said that they might sneak an attack from the rear. Ha Jong demands that they need to send reinforcement troops to subdue the attacks. Bi Dam said not to send as this is a badgering tactics that they are executing in their strategies. Although the attack doesn’t come from Kim Yu Shin’s main army but deployment from auxiliary & supporting forces, they must be arouse by other force except Kim Yu Shin’s army & will not deploy any force to meet them. If we can hold out until tomorrow, victory is assures on them. Bi Dam orders Bo Jong & Phil Dan to maintain their defensive position & not to engage then asked them to increase fortification of their defences & discreetly pay attention on the enemy movement & report back to Bi Dam as & when. Bo Jong & Phil Dan acknowledged & leaves

Yeom Jong comes in shouting for Bi Dam & stutter that there is something outside that needs Bi Dam’s attention. Myeonghwal Sanseong the soldiers looking up at the night sky as they exclaims that the fallen star of yesterday is ascending to the heaven again & cause some panic among the troops. Bi Dam & his faction comes out to take a look at the phenomenon of the rising star at the distance. Ha Jong asked whether is that really a star rising at yonder. Lord Sueulbu said how can this happened that a fallen star, ascend to the heaven again. Mi Saeng realise that this is a fabrication & the yonder is actually a kite. Bi Dam asked what kite. Mi Saeng explains that it a large kite that has been attach with a straw effigy that is set on fire. It is a trick as it is fabrication. Mi Saeng must know that he may have use this con before in one of his scheme for Mi Shil. Yeom Jong said that perhaps this is to strike to crush their troop’s morale. Bi Dam said on the contrary that this is a signal……a military signal. This is to distract their troop’s attraction

Offensive siege on Myeonghwal Sanseong is doing under the stealth of all the commotion as they quietly prepare to scale the fortress walls as the guards were all distracted by the burning kite. Im Jong & his garrison managed to scale the fortress wall & takes the guards by surprise in their attacks. Im Jong orders the gate to be opens once he vanquish the enemy. Wyol Ya, Al Cheon & Seo Ji comes in through the gates as they spread out towards the fortress & tagging behinds in the end running is San Tak who is under disguise & runs to see Bi Dam

Ho Jae reports to Bi Dam that the east gate has been breach. Phil Dan comes to report that the south gate is being attack by Baek Eui & Deok Chung’s garrison. Ha Jong asked what even south gate is being breach. Mi Saeng asking what on earth is happening now. Bi Dam order that immediate deployment must be send to East & South gate at once & draw them towards the inner fortress towards where Bi Dam will personally meet them & led the defence against them. Ho Jae & Phil Dan acknowledge. Bi Dam goes to his chamber when San Tak spring up in front of him in his path & Bi Dam asked what has happened. San Tak address Bi Dam then whisper to Bi dam ears in which left him with a blank face & Bi Dam looks rather shell shock as he stupor away

Yeom Jong tells Lord Jujin & Lord Sueulbu that they don’t have time to waste & need to hasten their act together that they must make a swift exit from the fortress. Lord Jujin agrees that the East & South gates have been breach, sooner or later in time the whole fortress will be besieged. Yeom Jong said that Lord Hoyeon’s garrison is in Gyesanjae & asked them to leave through from the West & North gates & see whether they can makes their escape route from those gates. Lord Jujin & Lord Sueulbu understands & rushes away

Yeom Jong clearing the documents from the tables as Bi Dan comes in as Yeom Jong tells Bi Dam that they must make haste to exit from the fortress to escape. Then once they leave the fortress, they will meet up with Lord Hoyeon’s garrison & engage them in Dang San Ridge & asked Bi Dam to hasten quickly. Bi Dam just stood there as Yeom Jong notice oddity in Bi Dam & asked what is the matter. Bi Dam approached Yeom Jong to call him a mongrel as Yeom Jong is shock at the remark as Bi Dam tells him Household guard Heuk San. Yeom Jong laughs that Bi Dam finally knew of it & founds out about the truth. Bi Dam has the look that he thirst for Yeom Jong’s blood

Meanwhile the east gate opens as Kim Yu Shin rides into the gate & it is announce that the east gate has been breach & secure. Kim Yu Shin turns his horse slightly towards his men & orders his army to destroy the insurgent that is enemies of Silla & death to all traitors. Army rally in cheers & marches in with Kim Yu Shin. Bi Dam confronts Yeom Jong that this is all his ploy & his wretched doing. Yeom Jong said that this is what Bi Dam has in his shortcoming that he always finds plausible excuses in everything. Yeom Jong said that Moon Noh was killed by him & this revolt was instigated by him & coax Bi Dam to wield his sword at Queen Seon Deok, it is all due to his deceptive stratagem, is that so. Yeom Jong laughs that without Yeom Jong intervention or involvement, Bi Dam would have killed Moon Noh for the possession of the Topography maps of the 3 kingdom. Bi Dam grab Yeom Jong collar to clamed up his mouth. Yeom Jong tells that even without him that BI dam will do whatever it takes to have Queen Seon Deok as his own, wouldn’t that be correct. Bi Dam can only shout to Yeom Jong to shut up. Yeom Jong is giving Bi Dam the truth serum of his life as to tell Bi Dam what has he done for the past 10 years that in order to reap political power that he has done all schemes & plots to gain it & asked him why he did so…..because Moon Noh has cast him away, to fulfilled Mi Shil’s last will or is it that Yeom Jong provoke & incite Bi Dam to do just that. Yeom Jong said that it is most certainly not. Yeom Jong points to Bi Dam’s chest (heart) & said that this all came from within the soul of Bi Dam. Bi Dam wishes to declare himself as King as his truth ambition is to be King & to own everything.

Bi Dam said that this is what Yeom Jong thinks & he is wrong as he is not like that, he is just as Yeom Jong said yes the devotion. Yeom Jong asked what is this plausible excuse of this unyielding devotion that spring up suddenly drives him wild & that is the beginning of his self destruction & downfall. Yeom Jong admits that he did help a little contribution along the way & asked what is it then. If the devotion is realise, does Bi Dam thinks that the ending will be any different. Yeom Jong said that on the contrary that Bi Dam will have revolt anyway without any provoke, & why may that be as Yeom Jong asked, is that Bi Dam’s own venerability & insecurity. Yeom Jong said that Bi Dam will play the insecurity in his thought when & where Queen Seon Deok will forsake or discarded him. It is because of his phobia & fear that Bi Dam couldn’t give his trust to Queen Seon Deok. Bi Dam relaxed his grip on Yeom Jong. Yeom Jong said that he has always been that kind of a person in behaviour. Yeom Jong said that Bi Dam with him that trust was never in his vocabulary to say that said he will & must trust that person, but rather on the contrary it is when will that person stop trusting in Bi Dam…. When will he be forsaken & that is the only thing that is always playing in Bi Dam’s mind. Yeom Jong shouts for Yeom Jong to stop. Yeom Jong laughs that does he know & realise that Queen Seon Deok in the very end, was trustworthy to him without any doubt

Bi Dam strikes by Yeom Jong’s truth & has to stagger to take a seat digesting the confession of Yeom Jong as Yeom Jong tells him that Bi Dam is the one who didn’t warrant the trust & he wavered & the person who cause of the ruin of his devotion & let to his destruction & downfall is not Queen Seon Deok but it is none other than Bi Dam himself. Bi Dam is distraught. Yeom Jong laughs as he is about to leave when IB Dam stops him then draw his swords & run the sword straight to Yeom Jong & pulls the sword out as Yeom Jong slump to the chairs in his dying moments & dies

Trust is both important and dangerous. It is important because it allows us to form relationships with others & to depend on others for love, for advice, for help with our chores or whatsoever have you especially when we know that no outside force that compels them to give us such things. Trust always involves the risk that the trusted person e.g. Queen Seon Deok will not pull through for trusting Bi Dam. If Bi Dam could guarantee that Queen Seon Deok that this trust would have eventually pull through, then Bi Dam would have no need to distrust that person. Bi Dam therefore cannot assume, while trusting, then Queen Seon Deok will do what Bi Dam is trusted to do because Queen Seon Deok has no legitimate choice in the matter. Since people often can choose whether to pull through for the trust for us, we often need to trust them. But since trust necessarily involves risk, it can also be dangerous. What we risk while trusting is the loss of the things that we entrust to others, including our self-respect, perhaps, which can be shattered by the betrayal of our trust. Because trust is risky and can be dangerous, the following question is of particular importance: “Under what conditions is trust warranted?” In this context, “warranted” means justified or well-grounded. While Queen Seon Deok has “well-grounded” trust successfully targets a trustworthy person. But however Bi Dam use the term “warranted” to mean “plausible”. This entry on trust is framed as a response to question of when trust is warranted, where “warranted” is broadly construed to include “justified,” “well-grounded” & “plausible.” This would need to explore the various dimensions of trust, including the conceptual nature of trust and trustworthiness, the epistemology of trust, the value of trust, and the kind of mental attitude trust is. Lastly, trust would not be warranted that is plausible excuse if it was impossible for trust as an agent to develop a trusting attitude, given the agent’s circumstances and the sort of attitude trust is. For example, is trust the sort of attitude that one can will oneself to have towards someone, even in the absence of evidence in favour of that person’s trustworthiness. Trust that is not interpersonal, in which sadly Bi Dam lacks in that property & Queen Seon Deok regretfully disappointed

Bi Dam mumbles that he is not like that. Mi Saeng comes in calling for Bi Dam that he needs to leave via the North gate quick only to see what a mess he has done to Yeom Jong. The truth also set in for Mi Saeng as Bi Dam mumbles that he is not like that. Bi Dam leaves but Mi Saeng block his path

Bi Dam: Move aside

Mi Saeng: Strike me down if you want to leave.

Mi Saeng laughs.

Mi Saeng: For me that I could have thought because of you to have admits this wretched idiot could have been an equal of my sister. How childish & foolish have I been?

Bi Dam moves Mi Saeng away

Mi Saeng: How absurd it was for me to have believe that this wretched idiot like you & tried to achieve to realise grand aspiration ambition. It is really a laughing stock. My sister has err in her calculation on you

Bi Dam: Grand aspiration! For Mi Shil’s aim & targets that was I borne, & for Moon Noh’s aim & targets was I raised. The grand mission, was it not your target?

Mi Saeng: My sister abandoned you & gave you away, & Moon Noh did not dote & give you love & cherish when raising you, & we interfered & prevented your devotion. Look here, Bi Dam….. My dear Hyeong Jong. If you wish to tried & think that to deny this all that it wasn’t you who ruined your devotion? You are sadly mistaken. The only person who can ruin himself, is that person. Nobody, no matter what, no one else, who can ruin ones self unless you destroy & ruined yourself, you pathetic & hapless creature.

Bi Dam: Why did you wait until now to come & say this to me?

Bi Dam leaves after the truth lecture

Mi Saeng: It has been said. My sister has already said it, Lord Seol Won said it, and I too had said it. The whole wide world had said this to you that it is so. It is you who just could not hear. Sigh.

Queen Seon Deok said that now, the insurgency has been vanquish & be done. As of now for Silla, what is there for Silla is everybody must unite under one mind, one will, spirit & strength in order to work towards unification of the 3 kingdoms to realise the grand aspiration.

Queen Seon Deok asked how many days had passed that she have lost consciousness. Princess Man Myeong said that she been unconscious for 3 days & night.

Queen Seon Deok said that life & death is the circle in life, there is nothing public that needs to announce. Queen Seon Deok looks resign to her fate as Princess Man Myeong asked Queen Seon Deok to say such words

Al Cheon comes & is glad that Queen Seon Deok has regain consciousness. Queen Seon Deok affirms it & tells Al Cheon that it must be an effort for him while she is deem indispose.

Queen Seon Deok said that from now & the next, Al Cheon will have work laid out for him even more that needs his attention. Queen Seon Deok asked him to take up the designation of Sangdaedeung that is now vacant. Al Cheon looks hesitant as Queen Seon Deok affirms that this is her imperial decree & abide by it & quickly to take up the position. Al Cheon accept the position with his gratitude thanks of the Queen Seon Deok bestowed benevolence

Queen Seon Deok is in better health asked Kim Yu Shin that she knew & asked to tell her what Bi Dam has whisper to his ear before he died. Kim Yu Shin said that it will be an impertinent matter to repeat & beg her forgiveness that he can’t divulge what he considered high insolence was said. Queen Seon Deok persist Kim Yu Shin to reveal what Bi Dam has said. Kim Yu Shin insist that it is not correct to disclose the matter & best to leave it then Queen Seon Deok gave her command to asked Kim Yu Shin to let it out at once make known to her. Kim Yu Shin gave a sigh as he said Bi Dam has said & recalls Bi Dam before dying only mutter “Deok Man” continuously in endearing form. Kim Yu Shin said that it is rude to address Queen Seon Deok in that tone of informality. Queen Seon Deok recalls telling Bi Dam that no one will able any longer to address by her name. Bi Dam insists that he will call her by name. Queen Seon Deok replies if he does address her by name, it will be considered high treason, even if it is done that he does address her name out of devotion for her, the world will considered this as treason. Queen Seon Deok shed a tear while recalling the memories. Queen Seon Deok suggest to Kim Yu Shin that they go out for an excursion. Kim Yu Shin obey as Queen Seon Deok said that she wants to see heaven & earth of her kingdom, she wishes to see them all

Queen Seon Deok is sitting on the ridge overlooking the horizon, most probably in Taebaeksan. Kim Yu Shin comes to Queen Seon Deok as she tells that this is a piece of wild scenery bleak & desolate. Kim Yu Shin said that it will be Spring soon & flower will bloom & the tress will sprouts new leaves & it will be a green landscape once again. Queen Seon Deok mutter the season of Spring & calls Kim Yu Shin as Kim Yu Shin acknowledge. Queen Seon Deok said that they are many people who came to her & some who hastily departed. There are some who came to protect her, some who engage in conflicts & there is also some….Queen Seon Deok pause as it pains & choke her that who devoted to her. But there are many who came & went, in the end the person who is left behind & steadfast is Kim Yu Shin. Queen Seon Deok said that they have journey to the passage of time together in turbulence & struggles & able to ride through is because that Queen Seon Deok has journey this path together was made possible with Kim Yu Shin at her side. Kim Yu Shin gracious thank Queen Seon Deok. Queen Seon Deok said that it is because of Kim Yu Shin that Silla is able to fulfilled her grand aspiration & hands this enterprise with peace of her mind to Kim Yu Shin. Queen Seon Deok said that the aim for the Unification of 3 Kingdoms if they can’t able to make it realise this ambition, they may never know or guarantee whether they can maintain this country sovereignty that they will not know whose border that it may fall into that is yet to be seen or known. Kim Yu Shin understands & aware it. Then Queen Seon Deok relay to Kim Yu Shin about the story about her dream that when she 1st arrive in Gyerim, she now knows the identity of that lady who embrace her in her dream. Kim Yu Shin asked who is she, & asked to tell him. Queen Seon Deok looks upwards to the sky

Time passage of many years, Queen Seon Deok Royal Tomb mount. Al Cheon who has grown elderly waits at the tombs as Kim Yu Shin comes clad in his armour. Kim Yu Shin has aged just the same & greets Al Cheon. Kim Yu Shin said that he heard that Al Cheon retire to recluse life only to finds him here. Al Cheon greets Kim Yu Shin & he has already heard that battle of Hwangsanbeol was a ferocious battle.

Battle of Hwangsanbeol that was fought between Silla & Baekje in July 9th AD 660 in Nonsan, South Chungcheong province. By the time King Muyeol ascended the throne in AD 654 was able to gain the support of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, King Uija of Baekje had led Baekje into demise as his parties and dissipation caused neglect for state affairs. In 660, Kim Yu Shin of Silla set out with 50,000 strong might to rendezvous with the Tang army that was noted to be the size about 130,000 men which was being shipped over the sea. When King Uija heard of this crisis, he had already lost support from his ministers and only managed to rally up 5,000 men. He quickly appointed General Gyebaek, Kim Yu Shin old adversary of many war campaign as the Supreme Commander Baekje armed forces, and sent him out to face Kim Yu-Shin in battle.

The Baekje army arrived at Hwangsanbeol first. Gyebaek set up camp and rallied his troops to make a heroic speech. He reminded the soldiers of the armies of antiquity when Goujian defeated a 700,000 force with a mere 5,000. With this speech, the Baekje forces regained their strength, and prepared for a face off with the Silla forces.

Kim Yu-Shin soon arrived, & the Silla forces attempted a full attack on the Baekje forces. However, fighting with the will to the death, the Baekje forces soon repelled the enemy, & wins over all 5 engagement. The Silla forces gradually lost morale, & General Kim Pumil assistant General to Kim Yu Shin sent his young son & Hwa Rang Gwanchang, to single-handedly go out and fight the enemy. Gwanchang was captured by the Baekje forces at first and was released by Gyebaek. The young hwarang then returned to the Silla base only to once again charge out at the enemy. Gyebaek captured him once more, and because he respected his young enemy, he executed Gwan Chang and sent his body to the Silla base.

Through Gwanchang’s martyrdom, the Silla forces renewed their morale and Kim Yu-shin released a full attack on the dwindling Baekje forces. In the end, Kim Yu-Shin’s Silla forces vanquish Baekje as Gyebaek died in battle. Kim later stated that his enemy was a man of honour & bravery.

As this battle was the last Baekje resistance to Silla Tang alliance forces, Baekje soon fell when Kim Yu Shin and the Chinese general So Jung Bang surrounded Gongju & King Uija surrendered.

Kim Yu Shin brushes it off how can that be consider a ferocious battle & tells that Al Cheon is indeed Queen Seon Deok’s Commander of the Household guard to the very end. Al Cheon turns to the Queen Seon Deok’s tomb & reports that Kim Yu Shin has vanquish Baekje & the next conquest will be Goguryeo. Kim Yu Shin address Queen Seon Deok as he recalls the day at Taebaeksan

Taebaeksan, Queen Seon Deok continues that she now know the identity of the lady who weep as she embrace her. Kim Yu Shin asked who may that person be, & do tell him & asked whether nanny So Hwa or the departed Queen Maya. Queen Seon Deok said that a long time ago that they wanted to elope & run away & asked whether he recalls that incident & asked whether they can still do it now. Kim Yu Shin said that he is too bashful & why the sudden reason to bring this matter up…..Queen Seon Deok slides back on to her chair & rest her arms on the arm rest to see the scenery as she weeps & closes her eyes & slip into her death. Queen Seon Deok’s hands slump down off the arm rest & is still as Kim Yu Shin looks & aware that Queen Seon Deok has passed away as Kim Yu Shin cries looking at a still hand of Queen Seon Deok as he calls her & looking at her passing is so peaceful

“回光返照” or medical terms calls it the Lazarus phenomenon or the idiom, the dead cat bounces, is the behaviour portray by a dying person. It means a dying person shows fit of health for a short time before the person enter a remission & dies in the end. The phenomenon of Hui Guang Fan Zhao, recently termed as Lazarus premonition or Witzel-Ngeh phenomenon refers to a state of transient revival of the dying person shortly before death Failure to recognise this phenomenon as a premonition of death may create a false hope that the dying patient is starting to get better. However, in Lazarus syndrome is said to occur when a person from a terminal illness is expected to die & then unexpectedly goes into remission. Some patients, who may or may not be dying, may experience and express to others premonitions of their imminent death. This premonition is not the same as a simple “death wish” and should be taken seriously as it may avert a sudden cardiopulmonary arrest and death. This is what happens to Queen Seon Deok

In episode 28 where Bi Dam confronts Mi Shil as a soothsayer for the 1st time when Queen Seon Deok makes her attempt to regain her Royal Princess status after Princess Cheon Myeong untimely death, ironically he predict his own death that Bi Dam said that although it is presumptuous to implied but his life is predestined will end 3 days shorter that King Jinpyeong, but the truth it will be Queen Seon Deok instead. How I like the scriptwriter giving you hints & prompters

The return to dream where young Deok Man was looking aimlessly for Moon Noh in Manno fortress then a white lady approaches her & suddenly embrace her fondly & young Deok Man struggle to break free from the embrace & asked what is the lady trying to do embracing her with any reason as the lady release young Deok Man as she gets to take a closer look at the lady. The lady then walks away as young Deok Man calls the lady to asked why the lady suddenly embrace her like that with no reason as young Deok Man shouts at the lady who turns herself towards young Deok Man & it is reveal that it is Queen Seon Deok as she tells her young self

Queen Seon Deok in thought: Deok Man, from now onwards the journey will be very hard & difficult & also it will be suffering & painful, You will lose the people you hold dearly….You will be a lonely existence, it will be more destitute the dried desert in solitude…….

Young Deok Man: Hey! I dare say, who are you?….Why are you crying?…..

Queen Seon Deok in thought: It seems that you own & possess the everything in this world but the honest truth is that you have nothing that you possess.

Young Deok Man: This is really!!!!! You are a strange person

Young Deok Man walks away but pause to take a glance back at Queen Seon Deok & walks away as Queen Seon Deok looking at the distance at young Deok Man trying to look for Moon Noh

Queen Seon Deok in thought: Be strong & you must be firmed…..Understand?

Queen Seon Deok finally speaks

Queen Seon Deok: Be strong…..you must strengthen up

Queen Seon Deok smiles

The End

Thank you everybody that has read Queen Seon Deok’s summaries for the past 7 months

Yeom Jong laughs that the truth is now settling in Bi Dam in regards to Queen Seon Deok that this now spell the end. Bi Dam has betrayed his faction for his devotion of his life to Queen Seon Deok & in the end this is the ultimate result of the betrayal & jeers at Bi Dam’s stupidity to believe Queen Seon Deok. Bi Dam grabs Yeom Jong by his collar & points the blade ready to pierce his throat that he will killed Yeom Jong if he doesn’t shout the contraption mouth of his.

Mi Saeng is getting impatient & anxious that Bi Dam & Yeom Jong is not here yet & there is no news of them as yet & how could they be kept waiting. Bo Jong queries whether Yeom Jong has the ability to persuade Bi Dam to join their revolt. Ha Jong said that they private garrison has been relinquish of their command that Bi Dam must be here for them. Lord Jujin agrees that without Bi Dam as the frontrunner it doesn’t justify for them to stage the revolt in principle whatsoever. Mi Saeng asked what is the wretched Yeom Jong trying to do now. Ha Jong said that this is all because of Yeom Jong’s deceptive stratagem that has gone awry. The other nobles said that they shouldn’t have trusted Yeom Jong & their expression is written with anxiety

Meanwhile Yeom Jong incites like a whispering demon conscience to Bi Dam that it is still not late that if Bi Dam wishes to have Deok Man then he will have to snatch Silla from her.

Then Bi dam recalls that Queen Seon Deok saying that Bi Dam declares that he love her but she asked him what about Silla as she has one & only have one devotion that it is to Silla. Queen Seon Deok said that it is this devotion that one must stake his wholehearted life to protect it at all cost & if this is therefore wholehearted how can she ever going to place or share her devotion on someone & if she did then one of them will be untrue. BI Dam ponder with “untrue” then recalls that the time that Bi Dam should have told her that Mi Shil was his mother & has insist that Bi Dam should have at least told her about it. Bi Dam tell her that if he has did so, will Queen Seon Deok wouldn’t have forsaken him & left him that he is no longer of any use to her.

Bi Dam said that either method on how it will progress, it is fine with him. Bi Dam said that if the throne proves such a cumbersome to bear that Queen Seon Deok finds it necessary to have him killed & forsake him, then BI Dam vows to release Queen Seon Deok from that laden.

Bi Dam tells his faction that they will not leave to avoid confrontation; in which Mi Saeng express that if they are not retreating Yu Bi Hyeon’s shelter residence & asked what does Bi Dam plan to do. Bi Dam related that during Chil Sook’s revolt & the reason why Mi Shil had failed & was defeated is that she took the confrontation away from Seorabeol & did it to Daeya fortress instead. Bi dam said that those who abandon Seorabeol will declare as high treason. Bi Dam said that the principle of righteous of Silla only exist & based in Seorabeol. Lord Jujin is shock but nods in affirmation. Ha Jong then asked what will it be. Bi Dam said that they will overtake Seorabeol & depose the Queen from her throne & he will be King. The nobles pledge their support for Bi Dam to ascend the throne. Bi Dam tells his faction that a new era will set at dawn. Bi Dam said that he will attack & overtake Seorabeol before dawn. Mi Saeng asked that Bi Dam is suggesting that they attack Wyol Seong fortress where the Queen Seon Deok is residing just like that

Wyol Seong fortress is Banwolseong (半月城, literally “Half Moon Fortress”); also commonly known as Wyolseong palace/castle is the royal palace compound of the Korean Silla monarchy in Seorabeol (Gyeongju) during Silla & Unified Silla (BC47-AD938). It takes its name from the outline of the palace walls which is crescent in shape. Banwolseong is also known as Sinwolseong or Jaeseong which means where the Sovereign resides. Today the ruins of the palace set among the lush forest & hills can still be seen in Gyeongju

Bo Jong tells Bi dam that they military assistance from the nobles has not been fully cumulated as Yeom Jong said that their presence military support is not feasible overtake Seorabeol & engage with Ministry of Military Affairs or even the Royal Household guards at Wyolseong Bi Dam merely sly smiles.

Courier arrive in Seorabeol as Kim Seo Hyeon runs the logistics brief with Queen Seon Deok whether Bi Dam’s faction will be perhaps heading off to Yu Bi Hyeon Shelter residence. Kim Yong Chun concurs that Yu Bo Hyeon’s shelter residence in operated by personnel of Ministry of Audit & it is frequently use by Bi Dam & Yeom Jong as base. Kim Seo Hyeon suggest that therefore they must use the shelter residence as their headquarters to instigate the insurgency. Kim Seo Hyeon said that the immediate action is that they need to blockage of all access routes from Yu Bo Hyeon to Seorabeol to prevent the insurgents from coming to Seorabeol. Then Guk San Heun announce his presence that he informs that courier that there is deployment of soldier in Geumohsan & moving towards Seonggi county that observe couriers has discover 2,000 troops on the move. Kim Yu Shi said that if they follow the route from Geumohsan to Seonggi country that they will be heading for east of Seorabeol that is Daedeoksan. Queen Seon Deok queries about Daedeoksan. Then Dae Pung comes to report that they have receive report the garrison believe to be commanded Lord Jujin has crosses Chil Guk ridge. Kim Seo Hyeon looking at the map to point up the location of Geumohsan, Seonggi County & Chik Guk ridge then Kim Chun Chu derives that the indicated places & realise that insurgents are now heading for the capital. Kim Yu Shin said that all of them had pointed their direction towards Wyolseong where Queen Seon Deok is residing. Queen Seon Deok said that if they were to bring their conflict to the capital then location in Seonggi county & Chil Guk ridge will suffer heavy casualty especially towards the civilian population. Queen Seon Deok said that the path for a garrison that exceed 1,000 will likely be Deoksan ridge. Queen Seon Deok order Kim Yu Shin to block the access route of Deoksan ridge & prepare for defensive measure to block their advancement towards the capital. Kim Yu Shin acknowledge Queen Seon Deok’s order & will expedite it & leaves

In Bi Dam camp. Bi Dam opens the map to look at Deoksan ridge as he smiles in affirmative. Lord Jujin & Ho Jae comes to report that everything has been prepare as per instructed. Bi Dam asked whether all the garrison has been cumulate. Lord Jujin said that they are now assemble in Yeo Do county. Ho Jae asked what is the next course of action. Then Yeom Jong comes in to report that Kim Yu Shin has just depart from Wyolseong with his deployment. Bi Dam asked how many is the strength of the troops’ force. Yeom Jong report the number to be 2,000 that they are heading to Deoksan ridge to built up & fortified defensive position. Ho Jae said how are they going to engage, whether it will be all frontal offensive attack. Bi Dam queries on the frontal offensive

Queen Seon Deok disagree & object to that they must at all cost prevent an offensive attack on Seorabeol. Kim Yong Chun agrees that they must do vanquish the insurgents as they are to prevent any risk of taking the offensive to Seorabeol where the conflict will spiral out of control. Kim Chun Chu queries whether the private garrison troops that deserted from the frontline has join up with them in combined forces. Al Cheon said is that fact is not confirm but marching towards Wyolseong indicate that they are confident in the present strength of forces to launch the offensive attack. Anxiety written in Queen Seon Deok’s face

Bi Dam order Ho Jae & Lord Jujin to take their command & launch an offensive against Kim Yu Shin in Yeo Do County. Bi Dam said that they must launch the offensive in full strength of their forces but they need to cease all offensive when the sound of the retreat is alarm & they must withdraw immediately. Lord Jujin is surprise that there will to withdraw. Bi Dam orders that the deploy at once. Lord Jujin & Ho Jae acknowledge. Bi Dam study his map as Yeom Jong wonders what is in Bi Dam strategy. Bi Dam asked about Phil Dan garrison readiness. Yeom Jong tells him that they are battle ready to launch the offensive. Yeom Jong asked whether he needs to convey Phil Dan the orders. Bi Dam said there is no need but to wait on stand by

Phil Dan & his garrison are outside of Myeonghwal fortress waiting on stand by

Myeonghwal Mountain Fortress was built in the 4th with Silla skilled in advanced architecture & construction technologies that were later passed on to Japan.

Yang Gil reports to Kim Seo Hyeon that Kim Yu Shin is facing an offensive attack from Bi Dam’s faction in full military strength at Yo Do country. Kim Seo Hyeon is surprise that they has launch a massive frontal offensive. Kim Seo Hyeon asked for the full details as Yang Gil tells that Kim Yu Shin managed to subdue Ho Jae command but then Lord Jujin’s commands with Bo Jong had launch an attack at Kim Yu Shin from the flanks in simultaneously. Kim Seo Hyeon said that this summarise that they are indeed going to target Wyolseong as affirmative & confirmed with the engagement of conflict in Yo Do county. Yang Gil said that Kim Yu Shin barely able to block their advancement as Kim Seo Hyeon warns that if Yo Do is breach, it will be an open path to Wyolseong as the next target of offensive. Kim Seo Hyeon orders that garrison from Yangsan & Muhwasan to deploy to give Kim Yu Shin reinforcement In Yeo Do county. The military staff acknowledged & leaves after the briefing

Yangsan is north of the city of Busan in Gyeongsangnamdo

In Bi Dam camps, Yeom Jong reports from their express courier that the garrison from Yangsan & Muhwasan has been mobilise to give Kim Yu Shin support that it has been all part of what Bi Dam has planned that it will occurred. Bi Dam said that this is fine & orders Phil Dan to proceed to carry out according to the plan as Yeom Jong acknowledge & Bi Dam calls Yeom to convey orders for Ho Jae & Lord Jujin to withdraw their force from Yeo Do county with Kim Yu shin. Yeom Jong is surprise that they need to withdraw. Yeom Jong question isn’t that they are to launch the frontal offensive at Yeo Do county in order to advance to access into Wyolseong. Bi Dam tells that Wyolseong is not their intended target

Kim Seo Hyeon receiving reports that the insurgent are withdrawing from the Yeo Do county as he asked whether the reinforcement of Yangsan & Muhwasan has arrival at Yo Do county. Guk San Heun replied that they have not. Kim Seo Hyeon can’t comprehend the call of withdraw from offensive attack then realise there is something amiss then asked in which direction is the withdraw. Guk San Heun said that it is the direction of Yangsan. Kim Seo Hyeon said that Yangsan is currently vacated

In the Myeonghwal fortress as the guards at the gate tell that Wyol Seong may face a siege offensive as the other guards said that why troops are being deployed to Yo Do county then Phil Dan & his garrison laid siege to Myeonghwal fortress as Phil Dan finds to overtake the fortress without much resistance

Kim Yong Chun informs Queen Seon Deok that Kim Yu shin has defeated Ho Jae, Bo Jong & Lord Jujin’s garrison & the insurgent are retreating from Yeo Do county. Queen Seon Deok is curious why the sudden retreat from YO Do county. Kim Yong Chun said that they evade danger by pushing them back & force a retreat. Kim Chun Chu finds there is some oddity in the retreat. Kim Yong Chun explains that Kim Seo Hyeon has deployed garrison from Yangsan & Muhwasan to help Kim Yu Shin at Yeo Do country. Kim Chun Chu said that Yangsan is currently vacated as Kim Yong Chun said that this is most definite. Kim Chun Chu voice his concern to Queen Seon Deok & in return Queen Seon Deok realise that perhaps…..Kim Yong Chun asked what is wrong….that Yangsan is currently not their priority. Queen Seon Deok looks at the map & pinpoint Myeonghwal Sanseong fortress. Kim Yong Chun asked whether Myeonghwal San Seong was actually their intended target. Queen Seon Deok said that they are now 2 political forces in Wang Kyeong

Sanseong is a mountain fortress. Myeonghwal fortress in part of the Sanseong belt of fortress. Myeonghwal fortress is at the east gateway of Seorabeol. It is Gyeongju Historic Relic No. 47 & is registered a World heritage. Myeonghwal Sanseong fortress was also used as a palace for 13 years until the 10th (AD 488) of the 21st reign of Silla ruler King Soji & from the 18th year (AD 475) of the 20th year reign of King Jabi. In Queen Seon Deok’s reign, Bi Dam rose in insurgency, camped out in the Myeonghwal Sanseong Fortress & fought a fierce battle with Kim Yu Shin. One day, when a big star fallen in Wyolseong the palace of Silla monarch residence, Bi Dam was pleased to see it, thinking that it was a sign of the Queen Seon Deok’s defeat. Then, it is said that Kim Yu Shin flew a burning kite the next day, saying ‘The star dropped yesterday went up to the sky again’, thereby stimulating the fighting spirits & morale of his soldiers & defeating Bi Dam and his followers

Information on the Myeonghwal fortress http://eguide.gj.go.kr/detail_view/Detail_view.jsp?cid=8422

Wang Kyeong is Royal Capital

Kim Yu Shin learns that the insurgent has retreated to Yangsan. Dae Pung confirmed that they has converge in Yangsan. Kim Yu Shin said that perhaps as Go Do asked what is the matter as Kim Yu Shin adds that the insurgent initial target was Myeonghwal fortress & not Wyolseong. They wanted to gain access to Myeonghwal fortress. Go Do & Dae Pung are shocked. Phil Dan & his garrison greets Bi Dam at Myeonghwal fortress. Bi Dam praise Phil Dan on the effort well done. Phil Dan said that it is not at all, since it was Bi Dam’s deceptive stratagem that planned to have this fortress vacated, it was easy offensive to siege the fortress. Bi Dam & his faction enter Myeonghwal fortress

Kim Chun Chu tells Queen Seon Deok that the insurgent initial target was never intended to be Wyolseong of Seorabeol but it was always Myeonghwal Sanseong fortress. Kim Chun Chu said that they stage the offensive attack at Yeo Do, so that Queen Seon Deok was force deployed their troops to Yeo Do from Yangsan & they did this without much effort to siege the Myeonghwal Sanseong fortress. Queen Seon Deok said that the insurgent doesn’t want history to be repeated with Mi Shil. Kim Chun Chu confirm that when Mi Shil abandon Seorabeol, it was the gravest mistake she made on her part in her revolt. Kim Yong Chun said that the distance between Myeonghwal Sanseong fortress & Wyolseong is barely 10 ri. Kim Seo Hyeon confirms that it only takes 15 mins by cavalry to reach Wyolseong. Kim Yong Chun said there will be 2 political forces that is going to engage with each other in Wang Kyeong. Kim Seo Hyeon apology for his poor foresight on the matter. Queen Seon Deok asked how dare they engage their conflict in the capital & tells that this is really intrepid strategy to conjured to engage a full blown war in the confines of the capital

Ban Sik Kyeong is approx 15 mins

In Myeonghwal Sanseong as Ha Jong tells that in Silla 700 years of history, it is the 1st time they has engage a full blow insurgency so close proximity with Seorabeol that they have 2 political forces engaging in the confines of the capital, this should be the 1st. Lord Jujin agrees that there are only 10 ri between Myeonghwal Sanseong & Wyolseong from each other. Lord Jujin said that they can’t maintain this unstable venture for long & asked Bi Dam for his next course of action. Bi Dam asked what will they think it will be. Mi Saeng said that first & foremost this situation must be publically announced. Bo Jong question about public, & where should they do so. Lord Sueulbu queries that to whom & about what agenda. Mi Saeng said that there is an importance that an offensive will be stage in the proximity of the capital. Currently although Queen Seon Deok is a woman but graciously thanks to the support of her stability of her reign is due to Kim Yu Shin & Bi Dam & the nobility that she able to have such divine Royal authority. Lord Jujin & Ha Jong nods in affirmative as Mi Saeng said however if the presence situation of climax is publically known the nobility & the citizen will start to cast doubt about the ability & capability of Queen Seon Deok on her Royal authority & whether a woman will be able to rule as Queen Regnant. Bi Dam confirmed that this is correct. Bi Dam said they must spread rumours mongers far & wide about the Queen Regnant & the imminent & expected war in proximity within the capital to prolong this standoff as long as they can. While else the people in Wyolseong will need to dwindle & extinguish these rumours as fast as possible

Kim Chun Chu confirms from his deduction that Bi Dam who is the mastermind that is behinds this insurgency & the strategy input with the cooperation of the nobility & to those private garrison who has deserted from the frontline has all join up to Bi Dam’s faction & stage the insurgency to revolt & Bi Dam is now the main focal principal in this revolt. To them there is no Mi Shil or Seol Won Rang that exist among them but how would they able to conjured such a intrepid strategy like this. Kim Chun Chu said there is only person & in which that is Bi Dam. Queen Seon Deok said to Kim Chun Chu that it is enough said on the matter & put a full stop on the matter. Kim Chun Chu tells Queen Seon Deok that she already knew & could have concluded the matter as a fact from her own perspective that it is Bi Dam & asked Queen Seon Deok whether it is indeed that she had. Queen Seon Deok confirmed that she indeed has concluded that Bi Dam is the person but she hope to wonder that this is untrue will have be great & wish it was untrue

Joo Bang arrives in Chuhwa Gun. Joo Bang learns from San Tak that Bi Dam didn’t arrive in Chu Hwa Gun at all. San Tak said that he was send by BI Dam to prepare & organise the details but yet he hasn’t arrive Joo Bang is worried that Bi Dam should have already here with all the time that he needs to come here. San Tak asked Joo Bang what is the letter in his hands that he will convey to Bi Dam when he arrives. Joo Bang hisses that this is imperial decree & he needs to deliver the letter personally to Bi Dam has he has been instructed.

Bi Dam tells his faction that he intends to depose Queen Seon Deok. Ha Jong said that Bi Dam has just mention that they are going to prolong this standoff for a long period. Hwang Yun asked that once they cumulate their strength of forces are they going to march straight for Capital. Bi Dam said they are not. Bi Dam said that they will win the nobility to their faction even with staging any battles or war as they now have Lord Jujin, Lord Sueulbu & him & Bi Dam has 7 out of the 10 members of the Hwa Baek council in his faction. Mi Saeng said that therefore as BI Dam affirms that he as the Sangdaedeung will preside to convey an emergency Hwabaek council on the proposal for abdication of Queen Seon Deok. Bi Dam leaves the meeting & holding to Queen Seon Deok’s ring

Bi Dam preside the Hwabaek council in proposal to force the abdication of Queen Seon Deok from the throne. Bi Dam reads the proposal that Queen Seon Deok is not fit or qualify to inherit King Jinheung’s Silla throne & therefore Silla suffer the never ceasing conflict with neighbouring kingdom of Goguryeo & Baekje & therefore conceit Daeya fortress to Baekje & she has already been scorn & contempt by the Tang emissary for being Queen Regnant & already tarnish the pride of Silla in the eyes of the world. The nobility get a copy of the proposal for abdication. Then he adds that Ashoka the Great of Maurya Dynasty has send an auspicious doctrine that depicts that a new King must ascend the Silla throne & therefore Queen Seon Deok must cease her read as this is the will of divinity. Bi Dam as the Sangdaedeung with consensus of the Hwabaek council states this 3 reasons & has propose that Queen Seon Deok be depose & it will way to save Silla for embarrassment. Joo Bang & San Tak ready the BI Dam notice in public. Bi Dam said that Queen Seon Deok must relinquish her divine right of Kings to preserve the dignity of Silla as the proposal signed by Sangdaedeung Bi Dam

Joo Bang queries whether Bi Dam is stating a proposal to depose Queen Seon Deok & asked what is on earth is this happening here. Joo Bang said is this mean that Bi Dam is instigating to revolt against Queen Seon Deok. San Tak tells that it has a taste that this is going to be insurgency. Joo Bang realise that Bi Dam is indeed now in Myeonghwal Sanseong fortress at this moment. San Tak affirms it. Joo Bang said that he needs to deliver Queen Seon Deok’s decree but then Myeonghwal Sanseong is now the base camp of the insurgent. San Tak said that if Joo Bang enters Myeonghwal Sanseong, Joo Bang will surely meet his instant demise. Joo Bang know that if he enters, he will died, but yet he needs to deliver this decree to Bi Dam, what he is going to do. Joo Bang recalls Queen Seon Deok insistence that Joo Bang must hands this letter to Bi Dam personally without failed. San Tak said that Joo Bang has no alternative that he can’t go to Myeonghwal Sanseong as he will surely dies. San Tak said that Joo Bang code of survival is to avoid confrontation & he needs to avoid this at all cost & runs. Joo Bang is determine that he needs to go to Myeonghwal Sanseong. San Tal reminds Joo bang that if he goes, he will die. Joo Bang said that this is why he needs San Tak with him for this & drags San Tak along

Queen Seon Deok gets a copy of the proposal as Kim Yong Chun said that this is absurd that how can they preside to convene a Hwabaek council to propose this proposal & how dare they be so insolence. Kim Seo Hyeon said that this is all the doing of the nobility to cause a stir uprising of confusion for the Silla population. Queen Seon Deok said that the Hwabaek council is not legitimate without Sangdaedeung presiding. In Silla, Sangdaedeung needs to preside so that the Hwabaek council is valid & legit & will be forfeit, if the preside the Hwabaek council on their own accord. Princess Man Myeong points out that the proposal has been signed & endorse with Sangdaedeung Bi Dam. Queen Seon Deok said that she will not jump into conclusion without prior verification of the authenticity & validate this proposal as without the presiding of Sangdaedeung in a Hwabaek council, this is consider a forfeit & unlawful against the law. Kim Seo Hyeon & Kim Yong Chun surprise that Queen Seon Deok is still persisting to disbelieve that the proposal authenticity. Kim Chun Chu asked whether perhaps by chance that this proposal was indeed presided by Sangdaedeung Bi Dam & therefore this proposal is legit in every sense of protocol & procedures then what will Queen Seon Deok do. Queen Seon Deok said that if this is the truth then she will never forgive or pardoned the Sangdaedeung. Kim Chun really wanted Queen Seon Deok to say it with her words. As they said that the Sovereign’s words is consider law

Al Cheon comes in & asked Queen Seon Deok to step outside for a while to take a look at courtyard of In Gang Jeon. Al Cheon showed Heuk San’s body that is attached with a letter. Al Cheon said that this is Heuk San was a Household guard who has gone missing a few days ago. Kim Yong Chun asked how can such an incident be happening to Queen Seon Deok own personal guards. Kim Seo Hyeon said that they are sending this corpse as a sign of their threat for the Royal Household. Then Kim Yong Chun sees Queen Seon Deok ring tied to the corpse’s neck & takes it down as Kim Yong Chun said that doesn’t this belong to Queen Seon Deok & how did the corpse posses this with him. Queen Seon Deok instantly recognise that it is the ring she gave Bi Dam as a parting gift. Queen Seon Deok takes it from Kim Yong Chun to have a closer look & recalls giving the rings to Bi Dam. The ring to Bi Dam is the exact replica that she wearing on her right middle finger since she took the throne. Queen Seon Deok with this conformation know that this is indeed Bi Dam own doing

Joo Bang & San Tak goes to see Bi Dam as he reads Queen Seon Deok personal letter then crushes after reading it & grabs Joo bang by the collar as Joo Bang asked what is the matter. Bi Dam asked who actually sent this letter. Joo Bang confirms that this was send by Queen Seon Deok herself. Bi Dam knows that Joo Bang is now the vassal of Kim Chun Chu & this is part of Kim Chun Chu’s list of ploys & plots. Joo Bang said that this is not, this letter was actually send by Queen Seon Deok & asked Bi Dam to believe that it is indeed Queen Seon Deok’s letter & telling that the current situation is now amiss. Joo Bang said that if it isn’t why would he has risk his life to come here to deliver Queen Seon Deok’s letter, he will be consider mad that knowing & aware that this is a path leads to his early demise. San Tak confirmed that Joo bang indeed went to Chuhwa Gun first to wait for Bi Dam before coming here seeking for BI Dam. Joo bang confirm that they reads the proposal on the notice & comes to Myeonghwal fortress & risk his very life to deliver this letter. Bi Dam relents & release his grip on Joo Bang & laughs that he has yet again been conned. Joo bang doesn’t understands Bi Dam’s remark. Bi Dam asked Joo Bang to convey to Kim Chun Chu & Queen Seon Deok to tell them that he is still alive & to emphasise that the person they so wanting to killed is alive & kicking & asked that Joo Bang to make sure that they receive his message. San Tak & Joo Bang having lumps in their throat over BI Dam’s statement

Queen Seon Deok looking at Bi Dam’s rings & clenching the ring in her fist that was found in the corpse then recalls over his promissory contract that he will relinquish all political power & posting after Seon Deok’s passing & retires into reclusive life & take a tonsure. Bi Dam said that this can’t be consider a promissory as it is not such a difficult task for Bi Dam to realise it. Kim Chun Chu wakes up Queen Seon Deok’s thought & asked that she must make a decisive & conclusive decision on the matter. Kim Yong Chun concurs that the proposal is swooping in rumours like a tided waves. Kim Seo Hyeon said that the proposal of edict has been endorse by Sangdaedeung will warrant the edict to be validated, the this resolution will gain weight in favour of the insurgents as the days goes by. Kim Chun Chu & Kim Yong Chun & Kim Seo Hyeon pressure Queen Deok to make the conclusive decision on the matter. Queen Seon Deok decree that Bi Dam is relinquish & remove from his designation as Sangdaedeung hen declares him as the enemy of the state. Queen Seon Deok decrees that all Silla subject has the right to suppress the revolt & vanquish this insurgency & death to all the insurgents in order to preserve the peace & the sovereignty of Silla as Queen Seon Deok said that to proceed with the edict as Kim Chun Chu, Kim Yong Chun & Kim Seo Hyeon acknowledged & leaves. Meanwhile Queen Seon Deok commands Al Cheon to investigation on the backgrounds of Heuk San the dead Household guard

Bi Dam has a private word with San Tak to confirm with him whether in fact that Joo Bang did indeed when to Chuhwa Gun to deliver the letter to Bi Dam last night. San Tak confirm that indeed he did. Bi Dam said that the person who attempt to assassinate Bi Dam was one of Queen Seon Deok’s personal household guards. Bi Dam instruct San Tak to investigate on the background of Heuk San. San Tak acknowledge but Yeom Jong has out a tail on him as Yeom Jong’s man went back to report to Yeom Jong that Bi Dam has order San Tak to investigate on Heuk San’s background check & his attempt on his assassination. Yeom Jong said that this will not do & asked his man to contact Heuk Myeong Dan to come at once. Yeom Jong’s man acknowledge

Al Cheon is conducts the investigation on Heuk San background check & proceed to Heuk San’s house. Yeom Jong’s man Heuk Myeong Dan slaughter Heuk San next of kin then as they about to leave, the bump into Al Cheon & his household guards. Al Cheon recognise that he is Heuk Myeong Dan (could be a fame assassin) & call to have them arrest as Heuk Myeong Dan runs from Al Cheon’s men. Al Cheon goes to check on the vital sign of the bodies only to notice there was someone hiding behinds that bushes that he draw his swords then went to rummage through, only finds a very scare girl. Al Cheon put his swords as it was intimidating & assures the girl that he is from the Royal Household guards & asked whether she is hurt anywhere. The scare girl cries that she is alright but her parents…Al Cheon asked what has happened in their house. The scare girl is the sister to the deceased Heuk San who told by the assailants that his brother has done something wrong & they need to leave at once. Al Cheon asked what is that matter that is wrong. Heuk San sister said there is a person by the name as Heuk San’s sister is trying to recall Yeom Jong’s name & has said that he is from Ministry of Audit. Al Cheon is surprise that Heuk San has taken orders from Yeom Jong. San Tak who was also going for the same led for Bi Dam overhears that Heuk San acted on Yeom Jong’s orders & leaves

Queen Seon Deok has learn from Joo Bang that Bi Dam is indeed at Myeonghwal Sanseong as Joo Bang regretfully confirms. Queen Seon Deok asked whether Joo Bang actually personally meet with Bi Dam in private. Joo Bang replied that he did. Queen Seon Deok is dumb stricken as Joo Bang explains that on what he observe that Bi Dam thinks that Queen Seon Deok has sent someone to assassinate him. Queen Seon Deok is surprise. Joo Bang said when he delivers Queen Seon Deok’s letter, he has rejected the content of the letter & thinks that it is a deceptive ploy. Queen Seon Deok looks more befuddled over Joo Bang’s statement as Bo Dam has asked to reply to Queen Seon Deok that Bi Dam is very much alive & well even with her failed attempts on his life. Joo Bang asked what are they supposed to do now.

Al Cheon comes in as Queen Seon Deok enquire about his background check on Heuk San in his finding. Al Cheon reports that it is Yeom Jong’s doing that Heuk San has taken order from Yeom Jong. Joo Bang asked does that imply that the person who mastermind Bi Dam attempt assassination was Yeom Jong then the blame was place on Queen Seon Deok was a deceptive poly from Yeom Jong. Al Cheon confirms that this is indeed so. Queen Seon Deok asked how can trust between 2 people are so lacking in self restraints & being frail & incapable that trying to abide by human mindset can be so incapacitated in vigour. Joo bang said that Queen Seon Deok must try to work out this misunderstanding with Bi Dam & must allow this dispel from doubts. Queen Seon Deok dejectedly saying that all is already too late to do anything for Bi Dam that she has no more option that can come of beneficial use. Queen Seon Deok suffer another attack of dyspnea as Al Cheon & Joo bang showed concern about her health as Queen Seon Deok is trying to fight for breaths. Queen Seon Deok assures them that she is fine & asked them to be excuse from the chambers. Al Cheon understands that he will summon the Royal Physician & asked Joo Bang to leave with him. Joo bang leaves as Al Cheon take a 2nd glance at Queen Seon Deok struggles with discomfort from her breath. Queen Seon Deok that her condition is not faring well

Dyspnea may be a sign & symptoms that Queen Seon Deok might been having pre-congestive heart failure condition. We may finds that this might be hereditary for the Silla Royal household as King Jinpyeong died of heart ailment while King Jinheung dies of consumption & don’t know whether it was led to his heart condition that suggest a family history of hereditary heart disease

San Tak returns to Myeonghwal Sanseong telling that he was out for an errand for Bi Dam & wants to access to the fortress. The guards asked San Tak for his name. San Tak said that Bi Dam said that instruction to allow San Tak to access to the fortress. The guards acknowledge San Tak as San Tak said that he needs to enter at once. Yeom Jong comes with his men then Yeom Jong looking at San Tak & wants to have a private moment aside for a while with San Tak. San Tak recalls Heuk San’s sister that it was Yeom Jong of Ministry of Audit. San Tak said that he has something for BI Dam then makes his escape from Yeom Jong as Yeom Jong shouts to pursue San Tak. San Tak running as Yeom Jong’s men call him to halt as San Tak flees for his life with arrow missing him by inches then as he reaches a ridge & no way of turning back, San Tak chose to jump off the ridge as Yeom Jing’s men lost sight of San Tak over the ridge. San Tak was actually clinging to the edge of the ridge to give the assumption that he has jump off the ridge to ward off his pursuers. Bi Dam impatiently pacing to wait for San Tak return & rereads Queen Seon Deok hand written letter that she signed her name Deok Man. Bi Dam asked whether San Tak is still not return yet as she shouts for attention

Lord Jujin comes in as Bi dam hides Queen Seon Deok letter behinds him. Lord Jujin reports good tidings as Lord Jujin asked someone to come in. Lord Yeong Jin has come to join their faction as Lord Yeong Jin greets Bi Dam. Lord Yeong Jin said that he will do his utmost for Bi Dam’s cause. Bi Dam said that his decisive decision is well, then Ha Jong said that in addition Lord Hoyeon has join the cause the Mi Saeng tells the Commandant of Gurahwa Hyeon has also join the faction with his garrison. Bi Dam knows that the garrison in Gurahwa Hyeon is a large garrison. Lord Jujin agrees that if Gurahwa Hyeon garrison comes to give support then their military strength will not be a concern of worries. Ha Jong congratulate Bi Dam for the addition members to their faction. Mi Saeng said that many nobles has now sided in believe of Bi Dam’s righteous cause. Bi Dam said that he is gracious move of their generosity. Bi Dam faction is all praise for themselves but Bi Dam is still doubts over Queen Seon Deok’s private letter as he keeps it on his side

Bi Dam leaves as Yeom Jong comes to see him & asked where he is going. BI Dam asked whether San Tak has return to Myeonghwal Sanseong. Yeom Jong tells that he didn’t see San Tak & asked what errand did Bi dam send him to do. Bi Dam said that he has asked him to run a small errand. Bi Dam tells that of San tan return to bring San Tak to him at once. Yeom Jong said he will & tell Bi Dam that the nobles has assembled & Bi Dam should make his presence there at once as Bi dam said he will proceed over to the place. Then a Courier comes in shouting for Bi Dam

Meanwhile at Wyolseong. Kim Yu Shin said that he has adhere to Queen Seon Deok’s decree of edict to all 4 corner of the country to declare Bi Dam as enemy of the state & every Silla subject right to vanquish Bi Dam & his faction for high treason & there deserve death. Queen Seon Deok acknowledge it but Queen Seon Deok looks preoccupied. Kim Yu Shin said that he is weary of the action of the nobility has turn sensitive since the exercise that has involve in the absorbed their private garrison into Silla Military that arouse their suspicious & insecurity. Queen Seon Deok asked that do they really need to settle this score within the proximity of the capital to engage in a war & conflict. Kim Yu Shin assures that they all in preparation for the assault & defensive plans has been placed. Queen Seon Deok looks rather blank as Kim Yu shin asked whether she is fine. Kim Yu Shin said that he has already received word that this was actually a scheme that was instigated by Yeom Jong that led to the misunderstanding between BI Dam & Queen Seon Deok. Queen Seon Deok said no matter if it is a deceptive ploy or just a general misunderstanding whatsoever it may be, there are just avertable incidents that cause by consequences & history is always determined & created by those said consequences.
