Gye Baek

Enjoy:)

Now what do we do?

You said we had to move tonight because it was a moonless night!

All the villagers are going to lose their lives because of one corrupt noble.

He's already dead. So don't bother fighting me.

Come out here.

We have to fight the Silla soldiers and then fight each other.

Why? Glad to see me?

Forward!

Episode 21

Who are you?

It's oil.

Bring it out and pour it into the drains.

Over there!

What is going on?

Why is the sound of bells ringing inside the fortress?

Light the fires!

- General, there's no more oil! - What?

What the hell is that sound? It sounds like a swordfight.

Hey, you two! Wake up!

Can you hear this sound? What is it?

Maybe the Baekje army is attacking the fortress to rescue us.

That's right! Buh-Ryuh has brought the army here!

You fools! Do you ever use your heads?

Think about it! He went to cut off their heads, not to recruit them!

How stupid can you possibly be?

- You really want to go at it? - It's two to one, you know.

I can't even fight one to one, let alone two to one.

Someone's in your hair.

Over there!

- It must be the Baekje army of 10,000! - Retreat! Retreat!

Retreat!

Long live Baekje!

Long live the Commander!

I think someone's coming. Who won the battle?

Of course it's Silla. Baekje barely had twenty men.

So this is where our fates end.

The flower of my youth hasn't even bloomed yet!

Flower of your youth, my ass.

What about the flower of my middle-age?

Has that bastard abandoned us?

Let's abandon him too!

- What a disloyal fellow! - Shall I leave?

Buh-Ryuh!

Buh-Ryuh, you just got here! Don't go!

These two said you'd abandoned us, but I never gave up hope on you!

I told them you wouldn't do that. You would never abandon us.

But they hit me! You see my nose? They made my nose bleed!

Look! Look at me!

Buh-Ryuh?

Buh-Ryuh! Where are you going? You just got here!

Don't come to me. Don't come!

Don't come, I said. All right then, come but don't hit my nose again.

Now it's our turn.

We fought all night. You want to fight again?

You're amazing.

And you're a lunatic for being able to conquer this fortress with only 20 men?

Shall I let you rest a while?

Your sword made a big difference. Do you want to work with me?

I can give you a good position.

I don't want to be your subordinate.

I won't bow my head to anyone unless they're superior to me.

At Gajam Fortress, someone asked me to work under him.

I told him to get lost.

But here I am doing the same thing.

There is something strangely similar about us.

But what is your real name?

If you defeat me, I'll tell you.

Governor, we need to make our escape before they get reinforcements!

How could we have been defeated?

How can I report our defeat when I don't even know who the Baekje general was?

I will see his face for myself!

Governor, it's dangerous!

You scoundrel! I will have my revenge!

Kim Geum Su! Go and tell your brother Kim Yu Shin!

Tell him he lost the fortress to Yiri!

And while I, Gye Baek, live...

He will never be able to step foot on Baekje territory!

How much further to Guh-Yeol Fortress?

Another ninety minutes.

- Then let's go. - Yes, Miss.

Excuse me.

- A moment of your time. - What is it?

- Are you from Guh-Yeol Fortress? - That's right.

Then Sir Gye Baek must have sent you. What is it?

Commander Gye Baek has conquered Silla's Suh-Gok Fortress!

I am headed to Sabi to deliver the news!

He conquered Suh Gok Fortress?

He defeated an army of a thousand with barely twenty men!

How is that possible?

Wait, then what's going to happen to Miss Eun Go and the Crown Prince?

Your Majesty, Prince Euija of Baekje is here to greet you.

Your Majesty, I greet you.

Welcome, Euija.

How you must have suffered all this while?

Your Majesty...

Call me Aunt.

- Your Majesty! - It's all right.

I loved your mother, Seonhwa, very much.

If she was still alive, we would be able to meet often.

Poor boy. You never once had an opportunity to call me Aunt.

Aunt...!

Yes. Come close.

I wanted to see you, Euija.

Mother...

Mother!

Your Highness!

Your Highness, did something happen?

I... I saw my mother.

- Did you have a dream? - Yes.

But it was so real.

Your Highness, Kim Choon Chu wants to speak to you.

Send him in.

Welcome, Lord Kim.

- Please pardon my intrusion so late at night. - Not at all.

Please sit.

Your Highness, tonight I wish for you to speak honestly with me.

Do you mean I haven't spoken honestly with you before?

I can't help but feel that you are here to spy on Silla under the guise of peace.

How could that be?

No, because that is what I would have done in your shoes.

It's odd that you want to meet our people and deliver the grain.

I think you want to spy on our capital city while you travel around to help repair the structures.

You're a suspicious man.

Then will you do something to ease my suspicions?

All you have to do is prove that you truly want peace.

What is it that you want?

Take my sister Yongbo as your consort.

Princess Yongbo? Why is that necessary?

You called me the future King of Silla when I am not even of "Sacred Bone" ancestry.

What would happen if my sister was your consort and I became King?

Then we would be related by marriage.

I will await your reply.

Your Highness, he must suspect something.

Kim Choon Chu... He is our greatest foe.

Your Highness...

Tell him you'll take Princess Yongbo as your consort.

As you said, Kim Choon Chu is a dangerous man.

If you turn him down, he will use that as an excuse to deport us.

That's enough. I will not wed Princess Yongbo.

Are you worried about the Crown Princess?

Eun Go!

What am I to you?

You are my Lord. I have lived my life to serve you.

No, you've never lived to serve me.

You just needed me to fulfill your own goals.

Is that how you think of me?

I want to ask you the same thing. When will you understand how I feel?

Your Highness...!

When will you stop thinking of me just as Crown Prince? When will you stop thinking of me as your Lord?

Why don't you think of me as a man?

You know how I feel about you!

I've waited a long time.

The woman I want isn't Princess Yongbo.

It's you, Eun Go.

Forgive me, your Highness. But I am going to pretend this didn't happen.

You are my Lord.

If you permit me, I will serve you at your side as long as I live.

That is my answer.

That fellow sure is enjoying his chicken leg.

Where did that Buh-Ryuh go anyway?

Those men are going to eat all the meat and wine!

That guy is eating a whole pig by himself!

Maybe he forgot about us because he's drinking.

Something must have gone wrong.

Do you think they found out about him trying to help Silla?

That's right. It's your fault I'm a Silla spy now.

Hey, stop eating and take away these Silla spies!

They sure are enjoying their food.

Your attempt at spying ended up helping our cause.

The man who wanted to fight me has disappeared suddenly.

I'm talking about your chief. Do you know where he went?

Of course we don't. We've been waiting for him too.

You know, have we met before?

Where did we see him? I'm sure we did.

Don't ever come near my game again!

If you do, you'll become my game too.

Get lost.

That's right. You're the one that fought Buh-Ryuh...

That's right! He was with Buh-Ryuh at the Wi Je headquarters!

So what are you doing here?

What a strange coincidence!

Look, Dok Gae.

Dok Gae...? Do you know me?

- Do you? - I know you very well.

I know you so well I can taste your blood.

Why do so many people hate me?

I don't taste that good.

Who is Buh-Ryuh anyway?

Oh him... Well, I knew him when he was young from Sabi.

You really want to know?

I thought you had died.

Gye Baek.

Oh, so your name was Gye Baek!

Gye Baek... Gye Baek?

You're the Gye Baek that worked at the tavern?

Oh my goodness, Gye Baek!

I'm Yong Su, do you remember me?

I'm a man too! We'll serve you as our Chief!
