The Goddess of Fire (불의 여신 정이)

~ Episode 4 ~ The King is here!

Before the event, I have come myself to see if there is anything missing before it starts.

Huh? Why are you holding such a valuable thing in this kind of manner?!

You bastard!

Your Highness... you must not have greed inside of your heart.

How much more... are you going to play this stupid game?

How dare you?! What are you doing?!

I am going to reveal the disloyal deal you have made with Yoo Eul Dam to the whole world.

My King! I feel ashamed to say this, but . . .

King Taejo's vessel... has been broken!

There wouldn't be any problems...Right?

Of course.

There shouldn't be any problem.

As long as one person leaves it alone, we will be safe.

Lee Kang Cheon.

Bunwon Kiln Artisan Lee Yook Do.

I risk my reputation and life to tell you the truth.

This King Taejo's vessel has definitely been broken.

Where is it that you saying it has been broken?

Are you saying my eyes are wrong?

To the attention of those with eyes,

does this look like a broken vessel to you?

Your Majesty, even though it looks perfect, it definitely has been broken and put back together again.

If you allow it, I will show you the proof.

Fine. But if you are not able to prove it,

crime of stopping the continuation of this event and mocking the ancestors,

and for acting in contempt toward me and all the ministers present,

you will be sentenced to death as punishment. Understood?

Yes, I understand.

If it is proven that what I said was a lie, I will pay the punishment with my life.

Prove it to me then.

Please bring the hot water.

If hot water is put in a reassembled pot, the glue will melt and water will leak through, Your Majesty.

Perhaps...can that happen?

How long do I have to wait?

Fifteen minutes should be enough.

Dad, I was planning to use egg white as glue,

but Teacher ate all the eggs.

So?

He instructed me to make the glue by boiling the worms instead,

but it was amazing.

The glued parts didn't show at all. Perhaps it's because worms eat mud.

Clearly, the cracks are supposed to form.

Father, how on earth this could have happened?!

It was not the egg white that you have used as glue, Eul Dam?

Until when do I have to wait?

The water has already cooled. So, where on earth are the cracks that you speak of?

Your Majesty!

Eagerness of youth has brought forth disaster!

How dare you commit sin by insulting me and ancestors?

Surely, you said that you would pay with your life, didn't you?

Attendants! Drag him out, Immediately!

Yes.

Kang Cheon. Please, just this once, overlook this matter.

Let this child here and I live quietly.

Just this once, close your eyes.

Your Majesty.

My son has not been able to complete. Let me fulfill it as his father.

Please allow me.

Lee Kang Cheon,

are you trying to bring forth death upon yourself?

Fine.

Go ahead and try.

This is the only way to prove that the jar was broken.

Kang Cheon, you bastard!

Your Majesty, please calm down.

Please examine these.

One is with use of the glue and the other without the glue.

Please compare both of them.

There is shine to the glue where the glue has been applied.

That's right. This jar was definitely put together after it had been broken,

within the past four to five days.

Who is it?

Who did this?!

It's . . .

I.

What did you just say?!

I said it was me.

Who is it?!

It is I.

I'm asking who's the one who put this together?

There must've been someone who helped you put this together not knowing what their life is worth. Who is the traitor?

Won't you tell me?!

It was I who

broke it by accident and put it together. There is no one else involved with this.

So, punish me only.

Who knew you had such divine skills.

I have been in the dark with people closest to me.

Put it back together.

What?

Just as you said. Didn't you say you did it all on your own?

I said to put it together again this instant!

Considering they were the ones to report it, artisans in Bunwon or Kang Cheon would not have been involved.

Then...

It was unfortunate to have met him again.

Capture Yoo Eul Dam now!

Yes.

No, it's not. It's me, Your Majesty!

Please withdraw your order!

Shut up!

I won this fight.

Eul Dam,

are you prepared.

Criminal Yoo Eul Dam, receive the King's orders! Drag him out.

Yes.

Father! Father!

Father!

Why are you doing this? Why are you taking my father?

Move!

No, you can't. My father didn't do anything wrong!

Let him go!

Jung, go back home. Quick!

Let him go. I am the one who is at fault.

My father didn't do anything wrong.

This kid! Go away!

Jung! Jung!

Jung.

Jung, Jung.

Are you okay?

Jung!

Jung!

Are you okay?

Father!

Orabeoni (Older brother)!

Orabeoni, are you okay?

Jung!

Jung, Jung!

Pathetic, so pathetic!

Pardon?

When Prince Gwanghae stepped forward and said that he broke it by accident,

what did the King do?

There was no question about the incident, and asked who put it together first.

This.. do you know what it means?

He's trying to find a scapegoat for Prince Gwanghae.

Right now. . . gather all of the court ministers.

This time our target is not some mere artisan.

Gwanghae must pay the price. Do you get it?

Your Majesty, I threatened that I'll kill him if he didn't do it.

He had to follow my order in order to live. He has done nothing wrong.

Please spare him!

So frustrating!

It happened while all the officials were watching.

This isn't something that can just be forgotten.

Don't you know the longer you wait, your crime gets bigger?

Because I'm scared of the punishment,

is it your teaching that it is Prince's duty to blame an innocent person?

I did it to provide a path to save your life.

Go back!

Stay in your room and don't dare come out.

My father the king!

I'll interrogate Eul Dam myself.

Return to your quarter this instant!

I heard that you confessed all your sins.

Is that true?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am the one that broke and repaired the vessel.

Please sentence me to death.

What is it that you are afraid of that you're asking for death so quickly?

What is more scarier than death?

What is it that you're trying to hide?!

Your Majesty,

the incident happened in front of all the officials.

If you cover it up, the reputation of the royal family will fall to the ground.

As soon as possible, please make decision in regards to the criminal.

I've already captured the criminal. What do you mean by covering it up?

Perhaps, is the criminal you, the Minister of Interior, speaking of Gwanghae?

The broken jar is the founder of Joseon, King Taejo's Jar.

The crime for breaking it cannot be light.

The gods are crying out for justice.

Please reconsider, Your Majesty.

Please reconsider, Your Majesty.

Even though I am well aware of your divine skills,

for the crime of deceiving the Royal House and the court,

Criminal Yoo Eul Dam will be sentenced to death.

For scheming, and in accordance with the law,

Prince Gwang Hae shall be banished

from capital for a period of one year.

Your Highness, have you heard?

The King has finally...

My son's has finished the Descriptive writings.

I'm so happy about it that I came out for a walk.

Yes. Congratulations.

- The King has finally... - I haven't taken a stroll for a long time.

Please don't ruin it by talking about deaths and interrogations.

Prince Sinseong,

do you know the reason why

Minister of Interior, who can make the birds to fall to the ground, bows to me?

Isn't it because you are the Royal Noble Consort?

No.

It's because of you, Prince Sinseong.

Because of me?

Yes.

It's because of Prince Sinseong, who will become the Crown Prince in the near future and subsequently the King,

that I can be so confident.

What if I don't become the Crown Prince?

Why are you worrying when you have me?

Perhaps you'll be disappointed in me.

That makes me worried.

That wouldn't happen.

Don't worry about anything.
