[00:19] Hak
    Shall we rest a while?
[00:42] Hak
    I've watched her for a long time.
[00:45] Hak
    The princess had never known
    uncleanliness or pain...
[02:21] Mundok
    Boy,
SIGN    Three Years Ago
[02:23] Mundok
    I told you to attend today's clan meeting.
[02:27] Hak
    You're the only one who needs to
    attend the meeting, Lord Mundok.
[02:31] Hak
    Besides, I can't be bothered to listen
    to King Il's happy-go-lucky nonsen—
[02:35] Mundok
    Fool!
[02:36] Mundok
    Don't call me "Lord Mundok"!
    Call me "Grandpa"!
[02:39] Hak
    That's what you're upset about?
[02:40] Hak
    We aren't even related by blood!
[02:42] Mundok
    Blood? In the face of love, blood is powerless!
[02:46] Il
    Now, now...
[02:47] Il
    If you two keep fighting,
    Castle Hiryuu will blow away.
[02:53] Mundok
    I apologize, King Il.
[02:54] Il
    It's all right.
[02:56] Hak
    Uh-oh... I called him "happy-go-lucky."
[02:59] Il
    It's been a while, Hak.
[03:01] Il
    It's been lonely since you stopped coming to play.
[03:05] Hak
    A commoner like me can't just
    walk into the castle freely...
[03:08] Il
    Don't worry about that.
[03:10] Il
    Yona's been lonely without you, too.
[03:14] Hak
    You happy-go-lucky liar.
SIGN    Happy-Go-Lucky?
[03:16] Il
    Happy-go-lucky?
SIGN    But it's the perfect word!
[03:19] Mundok
    What's that supposed to mean?
SIGN    But it's the perfect word!
[03:21] Il
    Violence is wrong, Mundok.
[03:25] Il
    Hak's honesty is what I love about him.
[03:29] Il
    Have a steamed bun.
[03:33] Il
    So, Hak, would you stay at the castle
    permanently, as Yona's bodyguard?
[03:38] Hak
    Your Majesty,
[03:40] Hak
    I find nobility a terrible bother.
[03:43] Hak
    If I served at the castle or became a general,
[03:46] Hak
    I wouldn't be able to take long naps at home.
[03:48] Il
    Hak...
[03:49] Hak
    You hate weapons, don't you?
[03:52] Hak
    Then see if you can find such a precious rarity
[03:55] Hak
    as a guard who can protect without a weapon.
[03:59] Il
    Hak...
SIGN    Episode 3: The Distant Sky
[04:02] Hak
    Frankly, I don't want anything to do
    with nobility or the royal family.
[04:06] Hak
    The way they probe each other's intentions
    and drag each other down is ridiculous.
[04:10] Hak
    The king has no sense for danger, either.
[04:13] Hak
    And the other reason I don't want to
    come to this castle permanently is...
[04:17] Yona
    Hak!
[04:20] Yona
    Hide me.
[04:22] Hak
    When I'm around the princess, I lose my mind.
[04:28] Noble
    Princess Yona! Where are you?
[04:32] Noble
    Princess Yona!
[04:34] Hak
    That's no good, Princess Yona.
[04:36] Hak
    You can't get caught playing your pranks.
[04:38] Yona
    That's not what I was doing.
[04:40] Hak
    Huh? He's courting you?
[04:47] Yona
    It's true!
[04:48] Yona
    That man called Kang Tae-jun
[04:51] Yona
    keeps visiting the castle to give me gifts
    and invite me to play with him.
[04:52] Noble
    Princess, let's play!
[04:57] Hak
    The son of the Fire Tribe's chief, huh?
[04:59] Yona
    He's awfully persistent.
[05:01] Hak
    Then why not tell him you have
    your heart set on Soo-won?
[05:10] Yona
    But he doesn't feel the same.
[05:12] Yona
    If I said that, Soo-won would hear about it.
[05:16] Hak
    That's not my problem.
[05:18] Yona
    Don't make it sound like such a bother.
[05:22] Hak
    This is why I hate coming to the castle.
[05:25] Hak
    Then you'll have to find a way to
    get along with Lord Kang Tae-jun.
[05:30] Yona
    You're so cold, Hak.
[05:32] Yona
    Soo-won would never say that.
[05:36] Hak
    In that case, go cry to Lord Soo-won
    and ask him to protect you!
[05:48] Hak
    Let's hurry back to the clan
    mansion, General Mundok.
[05:52] Mundok
    What are you so irritated about?
[05:54] Mundok
    Also, call me "Grandpa."
[05:56] Hak
    I'm not irritated.
[05:59] Mundok
    You are irritated.
[06:06] Hak
    Princess Yona...
[06:07] Hak
    What are you doing here?
[06:08] Yona
    There...
[06:11] Yona
    I'm sorry about this afternoon.
[06:13] Yona
    You got angry because I was acting helpless, right?
[06:18] Yona
    I'm the proud princess of the Kingdom of Kouka.
[06:21] Yona
    Instead of complaining, I'll do
    something about it myself.
[06:25] Yona
    Bye.
[06:26] Hak
    H-Hey...
[06:28] Yona
    You can have those.
[06:29] Yona
    I'm bribing you to reconcile with me.
[06:37] Hak
    This is why I want nothing to do with the princess.
[06:43] Guards
    At this rate, the clans will gain power,
    and the king's power will wane.
[06:49] Guards
    Should we really be letting that
    cowardly king handle this country?
[06:53] Hak
    They're really letting him have it.
[06:55] Hak
    Considering the kind of king he
    is, I guess it's no wonder...
SIGN    Happy-Go-Lucky
SIGN    But he's a
    nice guy.
[06:59] Hak
    If I succeed Grandpa and become a
    general, I'll be the royal family's dog.
[07:04] Il
    Hak, would you stay at the castle
    permanently, as Yona's bodyguard?
[07:10] Hak
    You don't want to do that, Your Majesty. I'm...
[07:13] Yona
    No!
[07:15] Yona
    I won't go to the imperial villa with you.
[07:18] Noble
    Don't be so cold.
[07:20] Noble
    Won't you show me the way?
[07:22] Yona
    Let go!
[07:23] Hak
    They're so annoying.
[07:25] Hak
    If only Soo-won were around...
[07:27] Guards
    Someone should stop him!
[07:28] Guards
    But that's General Kang's son.
[07:31] Guards
    One wrong move, and...
[07:32] Guards
    Then go get the king.
[07:35] Hak
    Nobles truly are bothersome creatures.
[07:39] Hak
    Don't get involved. Leave them be.
[07:41] Hak
    Otherwise, for the rest of my life, I'll...
[07:45] Yona
    Let go!
[07:47] Noble
    Let go of me!
[07:47] Noble
    You really are adorable.
[07:49] Noble
    When you struggle with a kitten's strength,
    it makes me want to touch you more.
[07:55] Yona
    That's enough...
[07:57] Hak
    That's enough, Lord Kang Tae-jun.
[07:59] Noble
    Ouch!
[08:01] Yona
    Hak...
[08:03] Noble
    H-How rude!
[08:05] Noble
    How dare you casually touch the princess?!
[08:07] Hak
    And who gave you permission to touch my princess?
SIGN    My?
[08:12] Noble
    "My"?
SIGN    Whose?
[08:13] Yona
    Whose?
[08:14] Noble
    Y-You should watch your mouth, brat!
[08:16] Hak
    I'm not lying.
[08:18] Hak
    When the princess and I were children,
    we pledged to spend our futures together.
[08:22] Hak
    Right, Princess?
[08:23] Yona
    Huh?
[08:23] Hak
    Princess, there's no need to be shy.
[08:26] Yona
    Ha, ha... Not in front of other people!
[08:29] Noble
    Princess, do you love him?
[08:33] Yona
    Y-Yeah.
[08:36] Yona
    I love him.
[08:37] Yona
    I really love him.
[08:40] Noble
    I-I refuse to accept this!
[08:41] Noble
    You may have pledged your futures to one another,
[08:44] Noble
    but I am the second son of the Fire Tribe's
    General Kang, Kang Tae-jun!
[08:49] Noble
    And who, exactly, are you?
[08:51] Hak
    I'm the Wind Tribe's next general, Son Hak.
[08:55] Hak
    The king personally appointed me
    to be Princess Yona's bodyguard.
[09:01] Hak
    Any objections?
[09:03] Noble
    Then show me your true strength—
[09:07] Noble
    Your Majesty!
[09:09] Il
    Don't do that.
[09:11] Noble
    Please forgive me.
[09:13] Il
    It's all right.
[09:16] Il
    I had no idea you felt that way about each other.
[09:20] Yona
    F-Father, this is a misunderstanding!
[09:22] Hak
    But after what we said, I doubt he'll be back.
[09:25] Il
    Hak, you've finally come around to the
    idea of being Yona's bodyguard...
[09:30] Il
    I knew I could count on you.
[09:35] Hak
    I don't come cheap.
[09:38] Il
    Please... Look after Yona.
[09:45] Hak
    As you wish.
[09:48] Hak
    Jeez...
[09:49] Hak
    He's terribly persistent. I just can't stand it.
[09:49] Hak
    I can't leave this father and daughter alone.
[09:53] ---
    It's all right.
[09:54] Hak
    Besides, this king is no coward.
[09:54] Hak
    And he won't listen to me at all.
[10:01] Hak
    King Il, are you still watching over us somewhere?
[10:09] Hak
    I will protect your unfinished business!
[10:20] Yona
    Don't cry, Father.
[10:23] Yona
    Even if Mother is gone, I'm still here.
[10:27] Yona
    You're not alone, Father.
[10:29] Yona
    And I have Soo-won.
[10:35] Soo-won
    Yona!
[10:36] Soo-won
    Look, it's snow!
[10:39] Yona
    Yeah.
[10:44] Soo-won
    I made a ball.
[10:47] Soo-won
    I made some strange thing.
[10:52] Soo-won
    Yona...
[10:53] Yona
    I-I'm doing great!
[10:55] Yona
    I have to stay cheerful, so my father won't cry!
[10:59] Yona
    Huh?
[11:02] Hak
    You're heavy...
[11:03] Yona
    Hak!
[11:04] Soo-won
    Hooray, it's Hak!
[11:06] Hak
    Princess, watch your step.
[11:09] Hak
    I was in a good mood, too.
[11:11] Yona
    Why are you lying down there?
[11:13] Hak
    I was engraving proof of my
    existence on the Earth.
[11:16] Both
    Huh?
[11:17] Hak
    When the ground is white with snow,
[11:20] Hak
    it's human nature to want to lie down in it.
SIGN    Hak's so cool
[11:25] Yona
    You're the perfect target for snowballs.
[11:27] Hak
    Really?
[11:33] Soo-won
    Well done, Hak! Yona is full of energy again!
[11:41] Soo-won
    Yona's energy has disappeared...
[11:43] Hak
    I guess playing in the snow was
    a bit too much for the princess.
[11:48] Soo-won
    I'm sorry, Yona.
[11:49] Woman
    If you rest and take your medicine, you'll get better.
[11:53] Yona
    Where is Father?
[11:56] Woman
    His Majesty is busy right now.
[11:58] Woman
    But he will come to see you soon.
[12:01] Soo-won
    It's okay, Yona.
[12:03] Hak
    When he hears you're sick,
    the king will come running.
[12:07] Yona
    You two can leave now.
[12:10] Yona
    If you get close to me...
[12:12] Soo-won
    We're fine. We feel great.
[12:15] Soo-won
    Our bodies are really warm!
[12:17] Hak
    I played so hard, I can still see snowballs.
SIGN    Dead Tired
SIGN    Dead Tired
[12:25] Yona
    Doctor, you have more patients!
[12:28] Hak
    No wonder I saw snowballs flying around me...
[12:32] Yona
    Don't you two need to leave?
[12:36] Soo-won
    Apparently, it's best for us to recover
    here, so we don't spread our illness.
[12:40] Soo-won
    But since I've been holding your hand
    when you sleep, nothing has changed.
[12:46] Hak
    You've been doing that?
[12:49] Hak
    I'm leaving.
[12:50] Soo-won
    Huh? Let's all hold hands.
[12:53] Hak
    You can't be—
[12:54] Hak
    Grandpa!
SIGN    ROAR
[12:55] Mundok
    Boy, I heard you threw snow on the
    princess and made her sick.
[13:01] Hak
    When there's snow lying around,
    it's only right to throw it!
[13:04] Mundok
    Show me your rear!
[13:06] Mundok
    I'll give you a whipping!
[13:07] Doctor
    General, that's enough!
[13:10] Doctor
    They're sick.
SIGN    Grandpa gets in trouble and leaves.
[13:14] Hak
    I'll stay here, after all.
[13:16] Hak
    If I went home, he'd kill me.
[13:17] Soo-won
    That's the Wind Clan's head,
    General Mundok, isn't it?
[13:21] Hak
    Yeah.
[13:23] Soo-won
    I admire General Mundok!
[13:26] Soo-won
    I had no idea he was your grandfather.
[13:29] Hak
    I'm an orphan.
[13:31] Hak
    We aren't blood relatives.
[13:33] Soo-won
    I see...
[13:35] Hak
    I'm only his adopted son.
[13:39] Yona
    But Mundok came to see you.
[13:43] Yona
    He must love you.
[13:46] Hak
    I don't know...
[13:48] Yona
    Someone's here again.
[13:53] Soo-won
    F-Father, what are you doing here?
[13:56] Yoo-hong
    Is there something wrong with a
    father coming to see his ill son?
[13:59] Soo-won
    You'll catch my illness, Father.
[14:03] Yoo-hong
    You think your illness could defeat me?
[14:05] Soo-won
    N-No! But I know this is a busy time for you...
[14:10] Yona
    Uncle Yoo-hong is so strong and strict.
[14:13] Yona
    He's nothing like Soo-won.
[14:16] Yoo-hong
    You must beat down this illness quickly.
[14:18] Soo-won
    I will!
[14:21] Hak
    His intensity is amazing.
[14:23] Hak
    I think my fever's gone down already.
[14:25] Yona
    That was scary...
[14:28] Soo-won
    Today's such a happy day...
[14:31] Soo-won
    Okay! I will do my best to beat down my illness!
[14:34] Hak
    Go to sleep, idiot.
[14:37] Yona
    Father...
[14:41] Yona
    It hurts.
[14:43] Yona
    Why won't you come see me?
[14:46] Yona
    Don't leave me alone.
[14:52] Maid
    Princess, at least take one bite.
[14:55] Yona
    I don't want to.
[14:59] Soo-won
    Yona, you have to eat something.
[15:02] Hak
    Or you'll get even uglier.
[15:05] Guard
    His Majesty hasn't come yet?
[15:07] Maid
    No, I told him about the princess, but...
[15:11] Guard
    This is the king we're talking about.
[15:13] Guard
    Perhaps he's too afraid of the illness
    to approach his own daughter.
[15:17] Soo-won
    Quiet!
[15:19] Hak
    He's the king, after all.
[15:21] Hak
    Even at a time like this, he's hard at work.
[15:24] Hak
    I respect the old man.
[15:27] Yona
    Yeah!
[15:30] Yona
    I'm sorry...
[15:31] Yona
    I'm sorry for thinking I was alone.
SIGN    Growl
[15:41] Hak
    That was a huge growl.
[15:43] Hak
    Ow!
[15:44] Soo-won
    Yona, are you hungry?
[15:46] Soo-won
    I'll have something brought to you.
[15:49] Yona
    Chicken porridge!
[15:55] Yona
    It's unbelievably disgusting!
[15:58] Il
    Really? It tastes bad, huh?
[16:00] Yona
    Father!
[16:02] Il
    I made that.
[16:05] Il
    I thought I'd prepare your favorite food
    to make up for not coming to see you.
[16:10] Il
    I made it according to the recipe...
[16:18] Il
    Oh? I thought it tasted bad.
[16:21] Yona
    It tastes terrible!
[16:30] Yona
    Aw... We're all better.
[16:32] Hak
    You sound disappointed, Princess.
[16:34] Yona
    Not really!
[16:35] Soo-won
    I'm disappointed.
[16:37] Hak
    Because you can't sleep next
    to the princess anymore?
[16:40] Soo-won
    I can sleep next to Yona anytime.
[16:43] Soo-won
    But I wish the three of us could have slept
    together, with our colds, forever.
[16:50] Hak
    Even if we aren't sick, that's easy enough.
[16:53] Hak
    We can stay together.
[16:55] Soo-won
    You're right.
[16:57] Yona
    Soo-won, Hak... Come again tomorrow.
[17:02] Yona
    Come play with me always.
[17:10] Yona
    Huh?
[17:12] Yona
    There's no one here.
[17:15] Yona
    Father!
[17:17] Yona
    Father!
[17:23] Yona
    S-Soo-won...
[17:34] Yona
    Hak...
[17:35] Hak
    I'm sorry. I went to get water.
[17:44] Yona
    The sky that the three of us
    looked up at together is gone.
[17:58] Hak
    You should eat something.
[18:01] Hak
    From here on, I don't know if
    we'll be able to secure food.
[18:06] Hak
    She's growing weaker.
[18:08] Hak
    Not only her physical strength.
[18:10] Hak
    Even after time has passed,
    she still can't face reality.
[18:22] Yona
    What are these?
[18:25] Hak
    They're leeches.
[18:26] Hak
    Hold still.
[18:28] Hak
    They live in lakes and swamps,
    and they suck your blood.
[18:31] Yona
    Blood...
[18:33] Hak
    They won't kill you.
[18:37] Hak
    I'll leave your clothes here.
[18:39] Hak
    Once we gather our belongings, we'll leave.
[18:43] Hak
    Will the princess stay like this forever?
[18:47] Hak
    She doesn't eat. She only walks,
    as I pull her along by the hand.
[18:51] Hak
    She's like a doll.
[18:54] Hak
    Are you satisfied, Soo-won?
[18:57] Hak
    You destroyed the days we spent together,
    and the princess you treasured.
[19:02] Hak
    Does that satisfy you?
[19:08] Hak
    This is...
[19:11] Hak
    She still had this.
[19:16] Hak
    We'll rest here today.
[19:25] Hak
    What's wrong? Did you lose something?
[19:34] Yona
    I don't need it...
[19:37] Yona
    I definitely don't need it.
[19:40] Soo-won
    But I love your hair, Yona.
[19:43] Soo-won
    It's a beautiful red, like the sky at dawn.
[19:49] Hak
    Where are you going?
[19:50] Yona
    I'm... I'm just...
[19:52] Yona
    I'll be right back.
[20:12] Soo-won
    The Soo-won you know never existed.
[20:17] Soo-won
    Should anyone get in my way,
    I will cut him down.
[20:24] Hak
    Are you all right?
[20:26] Hak
    Why did you come this far?
    Do you want to die?
[20:30] Hak
    Damn it... Is this their nest?
[20:38] Hak
    B-Bring it on.
[20:40] Yona
    Hak...
[20:41] Hak
    Keep your mouth shut and hang on, Princess.
[20:44] Hak
    Think of me as a tool.
[20:46] Hak
    Use me so that you can live!
[20:49] Hak
    That's what I'm here for!
[20:56] Yona
    Hak, I'm sorry—
[20:57] Hak
    Is this what you were looking for?
[21:07] Hak
    I can't forgive Soo-won.

    But more than that, I want you to live.
[21:15] Hak
    To find that, you made a move for the first
    time since we entered these mountains.
[21:21] Hak
    If it can keep you alive, I don't care what it is.
[21:26] Hak
    Even if it's a feeling you still can't throw away.

    No, leave them.
[21:43] Guard
    You're allowing them to live?
[21:46] Soo-won

[21:49] Soo-won
    Besides, there is something
    we must do immediately.
