From my position, the shortest way to the king,

is to use this Sam Do, of course.

The congratulatory ceremony!

Lee Do!

That man is the Joseon's best swordsman, Mu Hyul.

But, the target is Lee Do...

Failed.

So it failed?

Failed. It's too difficult, after all.

Only by distracting the Byeol Si Wi and Mu Hyul at the same time,

-=Byeol Si Wi: Troops under the command of the Central Army=- Only by distracting the Byeol Si Wi and Mu Hyul at the same time,

Only by distracting the Byeol Si Wi and Mu Hyul at the same time,

will the success rate be greater than 70%.

I must shorten the distance, or become faster.

I must wait.

With less than 70% success rate, I won't take action.

Lee Do.

Lee Do.

You rascal. Aren't you going to show your respect?

Forgive me, Your Majesty!

Only a distance of five steps.

Furthermore, only six bodyguards.

Also, Mu Hyul isn't here.

Are you a Royal Guard?

Right now, it's more than 80%.

Sword, there's no sword.

If I can steal that sword, it's 70%.

How can this fellow be so disrespectful!

Isn't His Majesty asking you?

This lowly peasant just panicked when I saw Your Majesty's face.

70%.

Your Majesty, apparently you're here.

Mu Hyul came.

60%... 60%.

What are you going to do, Gang Chae Yun...

This fellow, why are you here?

He's the man that General Gim Jong Seo sent.

I was on my way home, after my shift as a Royal Guard.

However, I seem to have lost my way...

Let's go to Jiphyeonjeon.

Yes.

What should I do? What should I do?

You, what's your name?

Hey you, fellow!

His Majesty is asking your name.

My name is...

My name is Ddol Bok from Hanjik Village.

Don't you know me?

I'm Hanjik Village's Ddol Bok.

You know you provoked the wrong person, right?

I know! I said I know!

Who is it?

Who insulted my father in the market?

If you know...

If you know, what can you do?

Who is it?

I'll ask you again, who is it that insulted my father.

He's an adult, adult!

He's way bigger than you.

Even if you go, you can't do much.

Damn it.

Do adults have armored bellies or something?

I'm Chief State Councillor Master Sim On's slave,

Hanjik Village's Ddol Bok.

=Year 1418, First year of King Sejong=-

-=Gang Sang In=- The Chief State Councillor isn't guilty at all!

Is that really true, Deputy Minister Gang?

His Excellency Sim On, the Chief State Councillor...

exactly what crime did he commit?

Then, Deputy Minister Gang, did you commit a crime?

Even if no one committed a crime,

with the crime being there, a criminal should also turn up.

It's just a job of the government, isn't it?

This is what His Majesty the former King wants.

-=Former King: Taejong, Lee Bang Won=- This is what His Majesty the former King wants.

This is what His Majesty the former King wants.

Then...

His Majesty the former King's will can never be broken.

Deputy Minister Gang, even if you don't say anything...

As it's already decided,

we'll go on with it.

The former King has really...

It's not worth it to die just like that.

Are you going to die this way?

For His Majesty the former King,

you should show your loyalty to the end.

But...

He's a Chief State Councillor who serves a king, and governs the rest of the people.

It's His Excellency Sim On who is the king's father-in-law.

Be quiet!

It's our master who became the Chief State Councillor, not you fellows.

Why are you all so excited, not even working?

Really, hyeongnim. You really are...

You think all Chief State Councillors are the same?

He's the king's father-in-law.

And also, that, what's that? Right.

He went off to Ming Dynasty to receive approval for the new king.

What's the harm in taking a little break and enjoying it for a bit?

You brat.

You rascal, if you were a dog in Goryeo, are you not a dog in Joseon?

If you were a slave in Goryeo, you're still a slave in Joseon.

Nothing's changed for us, yet you're putting on a show...

Hyeongnims, hyeongnims.

I brought food.

Food.

That fellow, look how that fellow looks.

Aigoo, those ajummas asked him to do a job and played a joke again. (Ajumma - older lady, aunt. Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)

Here's the food.

Come... come...

Don't rush.

You fellow, if you wore a skirt,

you should've put rouge on your cheeks.

Don't you think so?

My son will get mad.

Stop moving, or this will get ruined.

Look... Look here.

You look quite pretty.

Seems...

I need to feel the butt too.

Hey... This brat dares to resist.

If you go on, Ddol Bok will go insane again...

Dad, say it was your mistake.

Orabeoni, stop now.

What exactly are you doing?

-=Sim Jeong (Sim On's younger brother)=- Do you not know His Majesty's objective to make the nation rich and strong?

-=Sim Jeong (Sim On's younger brother)=- Do you not know His Majesty's objective to make the nation rich and strong?

Furthermore, the king's father-in-law and the Chief State Councillor,

is my respected brother, His Excellency Sim On.

Although I should punish you,

I'll be gracious and teach you all etiquette.

Ddol Bok, stand up and bow to Geol Sang.

I can do that at least,

but, if you're going to teach etiquette,

you have to teach Geol Sang ajussi too.

What do you mean by that?

My father is 5 years older than Geol Sang ajussi,

but he doesn't even call him hyeongnim,

and bullies him all the time.

Is it all right like this?

Do you really do that?

Does Geol Sang do that?

Yes.

Master.

I also feel bad because my father keeps bullying Seok Sam ajussi.

Adults should set an example, yet...

Then, Seok Sam, come forward.

Geol Sang, bow to Seok Sam,

and call him hyeongnim.

I'll take good care of you from now.

Retard hyeongnim.

Aish...

That's really...

Come here, you brat.

Don't make a fuss, you rascal.

I said it hurts.

You actually dare to do that in front of master!

Didn't I tell you that slaves can die for beating others, not only by getting beat?

Didn't I tell you to hold your temper?

Do you want to die, you rascal?

I wonder how this kind of brat was born here.

You even beat up a merchant with a pig's head.

That fellow stole my father's money.

So, because they made your father a beggar, you went to the beggar's area and got beat up?

While I was getting beaten, I tackled one down at least.

Don't be too smug about that!

Really, what should we do with you?

Since his father is a retard...

I... I didn't mean that.

Stop there.

Ddol Bok, Ddol Bok.

What's to be done?

Ddol Bok.

My Ddol Bok.

What's to be done?

Don't cry.

Blow your nose.

What's to be done?

Blow hard.

If they draw this kind of thing, you should say 'No'.

Why do you let them?

Why?

No.

That's right. 'No'

Follow me, 'No!'

No.

Exactly.

Do you want to die?

Follow me.

Do you want to die?
