01x12 - Episode 12

[bunniefuu]

People would wonder

if you suddenly disappeared.

Letting others witness you dying in public

will make things much easier.

I would still like to save face.

I hope it will not be a disgraceful death.

-Master!

-My lord!

What is he saying?

-What happened?

-Look!

Assassins!

Master!

I will be sure to use your body well.

Young Master.

Darn it, Uk.

That is fine.

Do not come in.

What a shame.

Uk landed more blows this time.

-Are there two more left?

-Yes.

Cha Beom will be up against him tomorrow.

Darn it. I would hate

to see Uk lose to him.

Should I go instead?

If I let Uk win,

then this will all be over.

I doubt that will make Uk happy.

This is a bet against the Crown Prince.

It will simply be outsmarting him.

Uk may be losing, but he is improving.

Young Master.

Go to your room. Let me bring you a towel.

I do not know

who the last contender will be.

But Uk will not be defeated that easily.

Uk!

Where is Young Master Jang?

You must be here for your young master.

Yes, my lady.

You must be Mu-deok.

-Yes, my lady.

-I see.

You are the one

who is always by Young Master Jang's side.

She must be the egret

that Maidservant Kim mentioned.

I am here to see him before I leave.

Come in. Right.

I even brought some snacks.

Would you like some?

No, thank you.

She is sophisticated and polite

just like Maidservant Kim said.

Why are you still drenched

and standing there?

Hey, look.

This is what that guy did, right?

I should try it again with my sword.

I thought you were dispirited

after being thrown into the lake.

But you were just reviewing your fight.

I was downcast and embarrassed

the first couple of times.

I am just mad

that I have lost eight times.

You used to only wear

neatly-ironed clothes.

Seeing how you are still

in those filthy, wet ones

proves what you just said.

I am truly dirty.

You rushed yourself today.

You should not have charged at him

when he was in defense.

You should have waited for him

to put his guard down.

Right.

Had you suddenly taken a step back

after landing those blows,

he would have been relieved,

stopped defending,

and let down his guard.

Fighting is like a game of tug-of-w*r.

Your opponent will pull

if you feign letting your guard down.

That is when you should strike.

Thank you for your advice, master.

Where are you going?

I should bathe and get changed.

I think I am reeking as well.

You must be here for your young master.

Do not go.

Do not go to your room and just stay here.

-I will bring you your clothes.

-What for?

I can go get changed.

Why would you be a fool

and tire yourself out?

You are right.

I am just being a fool.

You may go.

Mu-deok.

Stop there.

What is it?

Sit down.

Come on.

Goodness, look at your shoes.

They are drenched.

Why…

Why would you follow me

and try to jump into the water?

You see, there are times

when you are unnecessarily hard-working.

Why do you put your heart into cleaning?

Just use me as your excuse and rest up.

Maidservant Kim sent

some abalones and dried yellow corvina.

You should have some yourself.

Do not give them all to me.

Do not worry.

Everyone treats me well

since I am close with Dang-gu,

the heir of Songrim.

That is what I thought.

I knew you would use

your power to your advantage.

You are injured.

I fought for eight days on end.

This is not my only wound.

Then where else?

Let us go to Sejukwon and get you treated.

I still have more fights left.

I should get injured as much as I can,

as much as my master expects of me.

Your feet will freeze.

You should get changed too.

Maidservant Kim?

You are ready, Your Royal Highness.

The medicine does not stop being bitter.

Do you have anything sweet?

I will prepare the sweetest snack.

There should be a red jade

that goes with it.

They are only valuable

when they are together.

Should I just throw this away?

What?

What is wrong with this?

What could this be?

Someone is pulling me in with great force.

This inexplainable attraction…

It is calling to me.

-Damn it.

-Damn it!

Why would you fill her jade with energy

and confuse me like that?

This greatly offends me.

Likewise.

I am truly offended that

you were the reason why my heart raced.

Darn it.

By the way,

did you feel it too?

Did your heart thump…

-Darn it.

-Do not say that.

Forget it.

Seeing how surprised you are,

I guess you have never used this properly.

Right.

Since Mu-deok does not know magic,

I doubt you two were able

to share your energy.

You are right.

I did not know this jade had such power.

That is enough!

-Darn it.

-Anyway, I learned something new

because of you.

-Thank you.

-What is it?

Are you planning to use it?

I doubt you will be able to.

Mu-deok will not get this back.

I still have two matches left.

I will get it back and put it to good use.

So please keep it safe until then.

And please do not ever

fill it with your energy again.

The same goes for you.

Your Royal Highness, where have you been?

Should I take you in?

I can do that.

There must be things you can do here too.

No, thank you.

-Eunuch Oh.

-Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Find out who will be up against Uk next.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

You better be right.

THE ART OF HYEONGONG

Hey.

How was Jang Uk?

Jang Uk? It was a cakewalk to b*at him.

-Are you ready for your match?

-Of course.

At the very end, I will use Hyeongong to…

He is a mage from the Cha family

who can use Hyeongong.

He had been watching Uk all along.

He is a coward who has only stepped up

after seeing Uk lose several times.

Uk might be able to b*at him.

Hyeongong is a spell that

may look fancy on the outside.

But it will be useless

if the user lacks the skills.

Beom may look intimidating

at first glance,

but that could just be a front.

Yul sure can see through others.

Is that so?

But he was telling others

about how easy it would be

to b*at Young Master Jang.

He is just worried.

Uk has improved greatly

in the past several days.

He is scared that Uk will b*at him.

I guess my young master has improved

quite a bit for him to be worried.

Are you that thrilled

that Uk has become stronger?

Of course. I cannot be any prouder.

Naksu is training Uk.

Yul.

Did you hear?

There is a commotion in the capital.

What happened?

Master Kang from Daegangtongun

succumbed to his illness.

But rumor has it

that some assassins

att*cked him last night.

My uncle and Master Heo

rushed over to his funeral.

What if more assassins

like Naksu have appeared?

THE LATE KANG MAN-CHEON

Why can we not offer our condolences?

Transporting precious goods

is our family business.

But if people find out

that the man of the house

was k*lled by some assassins,

we could become jobless.

We told everyone

he d*ed of a contagious disease.

That is why no one can enter.

We understand.

Have you found any evidence

that could help us find the assassins?

Has an autopsy been carried out?

Master Kang was stabbed to death

in front of our eyes.

An autopsy is unnecessary.

We will cremate his body tonight.

That soon?

It is unfortunate.

But we must hurry

before the rumor spreads.

I am certain Master Kang would have

also wanted this for his family.

That is unacceptable.

If you cremate his body,

there will be no evidence

that will link to the assassins.

This is a family matter.

I understand that you are worried.

But the leader of Songrim

does not need to concern himself with it.

An autopsy is needed.

Postpone the cremation.

Has Songrim gone as far as to meddle

in other families' funerals?

We are not meddling.

I am simply trying to prevent

the new man of the house

from making an irreversible mistake.

Why is Songrim's leader against this?

What gives you the right?

Only recently did Naksu att*ck

the mages in the capital.

Now, new assassins have emerged.

There could be a link between this case

and Naksu who used sorcery.

That is why I am interfering.

There was no sorcery involved.

I witnessed it all.

How can you be so sure without an autopsy?

The new man of the house

does not want an autopsy.

Jin Mu! You have no say in this.

We have the right to interfere

if there are suspicions

of sorcery being involved.

Do you not agree, Lady Jin?

I believe

the Assistant Gwanju is right this time.

The family's heir witnessed

Master Kang's death.

And he has no choice but to hide it

due to their family business.

No evidence hinted

at sorcery being involved.

So I do not think Songrim

should cause a commotion here.

I just want to protect his honor.

Please let us proceed

with this funeral discreetly.

Jin Mu does not hesitate

to look down on Songrim now.

Why are they so against the idea?

-It is suspicious.

-By the way,

I had no idea

Lady Jin would take Jin Mu's side.

She used to hate her half-brother.

I was truly pleased when you took my side.

Look.

Songrim had no choice but to back down

once we joined hands.

How close are you to finding Bu-yeon?

We searched all the areas

around Lake Gyeongcheondaeho

for blind girls

who were around Bu-yeon's age.

I have been doing that for ten years now.

To be honest,

I believe I found

the whereabouts of Bu-yeon.

A young girl had washed up

near the lake ten years ago.

-Is that so?

-However…

she was long dead.

Mother, I doubt that was her.

I told my men to dig up her grave.

If Bu-yeon truly is dead,

I will bring her body

back to you at all costs.

That is unacceptable.

Bring my daughter back alive.

I will, so please calm down.

We will find her alive.

Did you take a good look?

They will be your mother

and younger sister.

Do you think

they will think that I am their daughter?

You are dressed

like Bu-yeon when she was young.

But I am not sure if Ho-gyeong will agree.

Then being well-dressed

will not benefit us.

I must look shabbier and more pathetic.

She is a mother who has lost her daughter.

I can only win her heart

by pulling at her heartstrings.

Yes.

You are right, So-i.

I will see to it…

that I become a daughter

of the Jin family.

You look much better now.

I tend to recover quickly.

This Hyeongong technique…

is quite elaborate.

I have my suspicions

regarding Master Kang's death.

Master Kang was powerful

with a great mastery of spells.

But he was already suffering

from a fatal illness.

There was no need for anyone

to send the assassins.

Maybe someone had a grudge against him

and wanted to k*ll him themselves.

No.

There must be a reason

why those assassins came,

although we do not know yet.

Once the soul is shifted,

the former body becomes useless.

But we cannot get rid of it that easily.

In other people's eyes,

that body belongs to a powerful mage,

an administrative officer, or a merchant.

They will only suspect something

if that individual disappears.

Naksu was the one who took care of them.

Do you mean the Shadow Assassin?

Thanks to that crazy assassin,

Songrim never suspected

that I was making soul shifters.

Back when I was after Naksu,

I thought she was just a lunatic

who wanted to show off her skills.

That is why I never suspected

the individuals that she k*lled.

Are you saying that she k*lled those

whose souls have been shifted by Jin Mu?

To be exact,

they must have been those

who were discarded afterward.

Did you not say

that Naksu was Cho Chung's daughter?

Are you saying he took that little girl

and turned her into an assassin?

That is why I never revealed myself to her

and made her live

in the mountains by herself.

I took care of her

just enough for her to survive.

But she was determined

and grew to be remarkably strong.

Because…

She thought by doing so

she would be avenging her parents.

That is why she obeyed Jin Mu.

She was very useful.

Then a soul shifter ran wild before dying.

Thanks to him,

Songrim got wind of the alchemy of souls.

Once Jin Mu heard that we were after her,

he was probably afraid of getting caught.

He probably sent Naksu to Songrim

despite knowing that she would die.

Mu-deok, go and get some water.

Yes, ma'am.

Mu-deok, will you seriously

not listen to me?

I told you to just get some rest.

Then what about you?

Did I not tell you to treat your wounds?

I stopped by Sejukwon.

At least I listened to you.

Check for yourself.

I smell mugwort.

What is wrong with you?

You know I am struggling these days.

I am just exhausted.

How warm.

Did you get a hot mugwort massage?

Yes. I am warm, right?

Yes. You are.

She was used for all the wrong reasons

and met a terrible death.

Naksu…

I truly pity her.

You are cool now. Let me go.

-Did you change your shoes?

-Yes.

Did you have the food

Maidservant Kim brought?

Yes. I had already had some

before you even mentioned them.

Well done. Mu-deok.

I did not know how fascinating this was.

The yin-and-yang jade?

I only found out because you had given it

to the Crown Prince.

How is it fascinating?

-Show me.

-I cannot.

I will show you

once I get yours back.

You will give it to me again

after you get it back?

Why? Will you not accept it?

I will retrieve it

and place it in your hand.

This thing has unbelievable powers.

It is a relief we did not know.

You are in for a shock once I get it back.

What kind of powers? Show me.

The Crown Prince

foamed in the mouth and fainted.

It was terrifying.

That makes sense. It was from Jinyowon.

It could be a lethal w*apon.

Hello, Assistant Gwanju.

The leader of Songrim returned

to watch the cremation for himself.

What will you do this time around?

I am only here to observe.

This is the last time

I will ever see Master Kang.

It is my duty to see him off.

You have seen a soul shifter before,

so you will recognize the blue mark.

Check and see if Master Kang's body

had been used for soul shifting.

Even if we find out

that he has shifted souls,

we will not know

whose body he has shifted into.

There is something you must do

to help us find that out.

I know that you have

already mastered Chisu.

I did not hide it on purpose.

I am not scolding you.

What I am about to ask you to do

is quite dangerous

and might suck away your energy.

Only those

who have mastered Chisu can do it.

A soul shifter runs wild

once their energy is lost.

The body is still warm.

Pour your energy into him.

and make him run wild.

My lord…

What is it?

He is…

I will collect his bones, so step aside.

This is a soul shifter

who has been petrified after running wild.

Now that we have solid evidence

of sorcery being involved,

can Songrim take over?

Seeing how you are not disturbed

and even tried to hide it,

you must have already known about this.

You already knew

that this was a soul shifter

who had run wild.

Judging by your skills,

I believe Master Kang's soul

is within that body.

Then that body's original soul

must be dead alongside your body.

Cut that nonsense!

You are running wild

after having lost blood and energy.

The more you use your skills,

the faster you will become petrified.

You better stop.

You should stop here.

-Do not k*ll him!

-k*ll him.

A soul shifter who is running wild

is dangerous.

Thankfully, Cheonbugwan got rid of him.

Since you have helped us,

we will let Songrim take credit for this.

-My lord.

-Yes?

Since you said we could take credit,

we will take the body and examine it.

Be my guest.

I closed his gate of energy

to prevent more energy from seeping out.

We need to revive him and make him talk.

Will it be possible?

He is pretty much a breathing stone.

Yet you want him to speak?

This will not be easy.

Are you worried

that he may still be alive?

Even so, they will not succeed.

Perhaps it is possible

with the help of the ice stone.

But that is their only bet.

Are you saying he can be revived

with the ice stone?

That is correct.

And you are in possession of that stone?

You do not need to know that.

Get the assassins ready.

I will find a way

even if it means shifting the soul

of a Jeongjingak mage.

-Hey, Beom.

-What?

Let us go.

THE ART OF HYEONGONG

PRESSING THE HEAD OF A LEOPARD STANCE

DIRECT SENDING STANCE, CAULDRON STANCE

Yul.

Uk.

Are you going to train?

Yes.

And you?

I just slashed…

a soul shifter.

Master Kang who had passed away yesterday

was a soul shifter.

Really?

But how did you know that?

If they hide their blue mark,

they can easily blend in

with other people.

But once they run wild,

there is no turning back.

They will start to petrify

as their energy seeps out.

They can prevent that

by feeding on others' energy.

But once they do that,

they will no longer be humans,

but monsters.

Monsters?

And it is our duty to protect this world…

from such monsters.

We can also protect

the monsters from this world.

Once we keep them in check,

the world will be at peace.

Everyone had high hopes for you

ever since you were little,

so you think

you need to do something grand.

But I was told

to sit still all my life.

I will follow

my heart.

Jin Mu let Songrim find out

something critical.

What if Songrim suspects

the palace as well?

The Royal Palace…

is not a place he can just barge into

like he did at Daegangtongun.

If he does, I will be in danger.

Ever since Gil-ju d*ed,

I was not able to feed on energy.

I am afraid I will run wild.

Could you share some of the power

of the ice stone with me?

What did you say?

The only person who can serve you

despite knowing your true face…

is only me, is it not?

Shaman.

You little…

I told you never to address me like that.

Would you like

to be petrified this instant?

I know you cannot do that.

I am the only one in this palace

who knows that you are Shaman Choi,

despite residing in the Queen's body.

If I die,

you will bring your sibling here

from Jinyowon?

Furthermore,

the real Queen is residing in your body.

Should I not visit her from time to time?

Right?

It is getting difficult for me

to live in this body.

Tell Jin Mu

to shift my soul

into someone else's body once again,

Your Highness.

I understand.

You may leave.

Why are you here?

I will let you b*at me.

Then it will all be over.

I forfeit.

Hey, Uk!

You wanted to go before me.

And you won.

Dang-gu was willing to let you b*at him.

How could you refuse?

I did not know

you were this proud of yourself.

You gave me this signal

and told me not to fight him.

When did I?

I only looked at you out of relief.

Then you should have signaled me.

Like this.

I did.

How could I understand that?

Had I known, I would have just done it.

You only have one chance left.

What will you do?

What, are you blaming me?

Why are you getting mad at me

when you gave that jade to him?

Are you seriously

pointing fingers right now?

How childish.

Childish? Do you want me

to show you what real childishness is?

I quit.

Should I keep this up?

Mages have been guarding

Sejukwon since last night.

The soul shifter's body must be in there.

If it was a body, they would have

kept it in the secret room.

Why would they take it to Sejukwon,

which is for the living?

I came by because I was curious

about what happened to the body.

Please wait. I will inform our leader.

I heard the leader was here at Sejukwon,

so I came to see him.

No one is allowed

to enter Sejukwon at the moment.

Then I will meet

with Young Master Jang first.

Please tell the leader that I am here.

Jin Mu is here

to check if the soul shifter

has really d*ed or not.

Tell him to leave

since we are still investigating.

Yes, my lord. However,

someone else is here to see you.

Tell them to leave.

No one is allowed anywhere near Sejukwon.

Yes, my lord.

I will tell Maidservant Kim

to leave as well.

What?

Maidservant Kim?

I will tell her

that the leader cannot meet anyone.

Hold on.

She can be an exception.

It has been a long time, Maidservant Kim.

I stayed at Gwanju Jang g*ng's residence

when I served him,

and you made me

countless delicious dishes.

You ate so much

that your rice bowl was exceptionally big.

Do you remember?

You had a huge brass bowl.

Back in the day, I was always hungry.

You must have made

something scrumptious once again.

Yes, I have. I made these snacks myself.

Honey biscuits.

I used to love them back in the day.

Yes, indeed.

Every time I gave some to you

to give to the Gwanju,

you would stash a few in your pockets.

I did that because I was only allowed

to eat once he finished.

In any case, I benefited a lot

from the Gwanju while following him.

I had a chance to taste

such delicious treats

and learn a special spell.

Does it not taste sweeter

if you eat it in secret?

That is exactly why

things that taste sweet are dangerous.

Once you have a taste of it,

you desire it at all costs.

You fail to distinguish

what you can have

and what you cannot.

You are hurting my feelings

by not letting me have any.

Goodness, do not be so stingy with food.

The Gwanju loved this snack.

How about his son?

Young Master Uk loves

honey biscuits as well.

Then shall we share this with him?

I have many stories

to tell him about his father.

You and Uk have nothing to talk about.

You may leave.

He just wants a biscuit.

Do not be so heartless.

You are not letting me share

the good memories with him.

But then again,

you must not want me

to touch what is yours.

Wait.

Here. This was actually

for our young master,

but you can have it instead.

Maidservant Kim.

Do not give that to him.

If I truly wanted to have some,

I would have easily stolen a few of them.

But I will let you win.

It had been a while since we last met.

I am truly sad to say goodbye.

Jin Mu used to take revenge

if he was scolded for eating something.

They were just honey biscuits.

You should have let him have them.

I just did not want him to eat

what you worked so hard to make.

Sit down.

We have not seen each other in a while.

Let us chat over some tea.

Is something wrong?

You seem quite testy.

Do not worry.

Once I have your honey biscuits,

I will feel better.

Mu-deok.

I need you to run an errand.

An errand? What is it?

Go to Cheonbugwan.

This just does not feel right,

so I need to send this over.

Sure.

Is something going on at Sejukwon?

I do not know the details.

But I think it is related

to last night's incident at Daegangtongun.

I heard Cheonbugwan

and Songrim had a fight.

Where is Yul?

I have not seen him since last night.

He must be doing something for the leader.

Really?

I just slashed…

a soul shifter.

We must strengthen Songrim's boundaries.

You are forbidden

from leaving Songrim for the time being.

Those who have mastered Ryusu and more

shall go to Sejukwon

and follow Sang-ho's orders.

-Yes, my lord.

-Yes, my lord.

Jang Uk.

You will stay here.

Everyone except for Uk

will follow Sang-ho and go to Sejukwon.

-Yes, my lord.

-Yes, my lord.

My lord.

Why am I not going?

You are exempt

since we do not need you there.

Is there something dangerous there?

Is it a soul shifter?

It is none of your concern.

Do not be curious about it.

Why are you keeping me in the dark

when I am also a mage here?

You are excluded from everything.

If you are bored of being alone,

you may leave Songrim.

Go back to your home

and do whatever makes you comfortable.

Yes, my lord.

Thank you for worrying about my comfort.

Mu-deok.

Let us go to Chwiseonru

and have something tasty.

All the mages were headed to Sejukwon.

Why are you not there?

I was told to stay out of it

and that I did not need

to concern myself with the matter.

-Let us go.

-Maidservant Kim gave me an errand to do.

Sure. Let us go together. Where to?

Cheonbugwan.

Let us go.

I heard that you told her

to shift you into another body.

Will you do that?

Then let me shift souls with that girl

who will enter Jinyowon as Jin Bu-yeon.

I have been a eunuch for a while,

so I do not mind a woman's body.

I would like to shift my soul

into a powerful body like the Shaman has.

"Shaman."

She was offended by how you reminded her

that she was a shaman dealing

with trifling affairs like divinations.

I was only stating a fact.

I was also reminded today of how I used

to beg for food and steal snacks.

They were indeed facts,

but I was still unhappy to hear them.

Jin Mu wanted a honey biscuit

while visiting Songrim,

but Park Jin did not let him have any.

Maidservant Kim was worried

he would hold a grudge,

so she wanted me to deliver this.

Are you saying they were childish enough

to fight over some food?

Our leader has a cheap way

of tormenting others.

Why was he so picky about a honey biscuit?

You are right. He was cheap.

Here, at Cheonbugwan,

we have records of all the constellations.

I will tell the Assistant Gwanju

that this was from the Jang family.

Please tell him that

it was from Maidservant Kim.

Tell him that we use a lot of oil

in our honey biscuits

and that he should have them

with green tea.

Yes, Young Master Jang.

We also use a lot of honey

for our honey biscuits.

He should store them in a cool place

or they will become sticky.

-Yes, Young Master Jang.

-Since we have brought that,

-can I take a look inside?

-Yes--

-Sorry?

-Thank you. It will not take long.

Let us go.

But…

I have always wanted to visit.

Despite my father being the Gwanju,

I never got to visit.

Gosh, what is that?

You have been here, right?

Your father was

a constellation recorder mage.

Did you come here for me?

You could have asked

someone else to run the errand.

Was it not

because you wanted to come here?

My father brought me here often

when I was little.

He even showed me the plate

that was recorded the day I was born.

He was a considerate father.

Come to think of it,

I believe he recorded the constellation

on the day you were born.

Is that so?

The constellation of the day I was born

must be somewhere here.

You had promised to shift my soul.

But rather, you are making me run wild.

You are no longer needed.

You will turn into a stone now.

You have gone insane.

Once night draws in, the mages will come.

Let us watch them

record the constellations.

I heard it is a magnificent view.

I would love that, but it will be

troublesome if we get caught.

Let us just go home.

Eunuch Kim has run wild.

No one must find out

that he is a soul shifter.

He is still in Cheonbugwan.

We must find him before morning comes.

Yes, my lord.

I know you are here.

Do not cause any more problems

and just come out.

I will give you what you want.

Come on out.

-Come on out!

-I will.

-Come on out!

-I will.

-Jang Uk.

-Yes.

Why are you here?

I am sorry. I was running an errand

and decided to take a look around.

An errand?

I heard you really wanted

our honey biscuits.

Honey biscuits?

She saw you were sad that

you did not have any honey biscuits,

so Maidservant Kim told me

to send you some.

Thank you. Tell her I said thank you.

What?

I thought you would be upset

that I came in here without asking.

Are you not mad?

You only came here to give me

the honey biscuits. You may go.

What a relief. To be honest…

I have company.

Mu-deok, come out. He is not mad.

She is my maid.

I am Mu-deok,

his maid.

You were here as well.

I thought you would be furious.

I am truly grateful for your hospitality.

Please enjoy the snacks.

Let us know if you want more.

Thank you.

Let us go.

He is a royal eunuch.

What is wrong with him?

He is a soul shifter.

Look. He is running wild.

I cannot believe a soul shifter

was inside the palace.

It was probably

his doing.

I know you are here.

Do not cause

any more problems and just come out.

I will give you what you want.

Come on out!

I will.

Run.

There is a door behind us.

Why will you not let us leave?

I do not think it is right to let a mage

who has barged in here leave so easily.

You will be in a tight spot

if I disappeared from Cheonbugwan.

I never said I would harm you.

Your body will still be around.

Uk.

You are within a barrier that I have made.

Do not worry.

You will be unscathed

as long as you sit still.

Wait there for now.

Mu-deok, was it?

So you were the maid

who always stuck by his side

and caused a nuisance.

There is a human here.

Come and replenish your energy.

After that,

I will let you shift souls

with a young master as you wished.

Did that wench Shaman Choi

tell you to k*ll me?

I need your help.

If you do not trust me,

I will stay outside.

Feed on her as you please.

I need to get out of here.

Master, help me once again.

Give your hesitant pupil confidence.

Jang Uk.

Mu-deok.

Mu-deok!

Mu-deok.

Mu-deok.

I…

I just fed on his energy.

Am I…

running wild?

-Mu-deok.

-Do not come near me.

No, you are fine.

You are all right.

-You will be fine.

-No.

Do not touch me.

If I am truly running wild,

then you must not touch me.

Otherwise, your energy will be stolen

and you will die.

ALCHEMY OF SOULS

There was a loud noise coming from

the Constellation Recording room.

Come on out!

Are you angry that we turned

your friend here into stone?

You will never be able

to leave this place.

Are you saying that a member

of the Cho family is in this household?

What if her spirit

is indeed lingering by Uk?

If I had not left you

there in the mountains…

you would not have to suffer this fate.

You said you have bet your life?

This time, place yourself for the bet.

I will definitely win tomorrow.

I only need those

who will definitely win the duel.

If he is looking for

the ice stone to protect her…

They must not be together.

Everything about you has been exposed.
