Princess Pyeonggang Saved General Go Gun from Cruel King Yeongyang
Princess Pyeonggang (Kim So Hyun) helped General Go Gun (Lee Hi Joon) escape from the King's plan to kill him. She escorted him and Lady Hae Mo Yong (Choi Yu Hwa) to the secret path inside the palace that connects to a passage to another tribe outside Goguryeo.
King Yeongyang (Kwon Hwa Woon) heard the news that his sister, Pyeonggang, helped his mortal enemy escape death. He put the princess behind bars.
Kim Pyung Ji (Ahn Shin Woo), one of the palace's trusted servants, was shocked about the king's decision. He reminded King Yeongyang that the late King Pyeongwon (Kim Pub Lae) made the same mistake of doubting his people, and advised Yeongyang to not do the same thing to save the kingdom of Goguryeo.
