Ranking of Kings (2021) s01e04 Episode Script
His First Journey
1
Domas.
I'm appointing you as
the swordsmanship instructor for my son.
I expect great things from you,
Swordmaster.
Prince Bojji.
I will teach you everything I know
about sword fighting.
The training will be tough,
but we'll get through this together.
First, do a thousand push-ups.
It certainly won't be easy at first.
But you will definitely improve in time.
Adjust your posture.
Straighten your back.
I greatly respect King Boss.
As such, my swordsmanship
faces my enemies' attack head-on
with a firm resolve that never backs down.
Just what should I do?
Prince Bojji is suffering the most.
However…
That's all for today.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Domas.
Yes.
Does the kid have any talent
in sword fighting?
I still can't be sure yet.
Is that so? You may leave now.
Yes.
Domas.
Your sign language has improved a lot.
Go ahead and give Bojji a surprise.
Will he be happy about it?
How would I know?
Prince Bojji.
How is your condition?
He understood me!
Prince Bojji.
You don't have to worry about anything.
Just remain the way you are.
I swear I will protect you until the end.
Queen Hiling.
A judge from the Ranking Association
seems to have arrived.
He's probably here
to determine the new ranking
after King Boss's passing.
Decision-making and eliminating problems
are the duty of a king.
You never know if people will call
for Prince Bojji to be their king
and thus, create chaos in our kingdom.
This will lead to wars
and cost many lives.
As the king, you have to take precautions.
I've ordered Prince Bojji
to be assassinated.
Yes, you're right.
All that's left is for you
to gain King Boss's power from his body.
Is that necessary?
Yes. You may be young
and your future has endless possibilities,
but King Boss's strength was unparalleled.
But…
I would like to bet on
my own possibilities.
It's been so long, Mr. Apis.
Is it about the Ranking of Kings?
Yes. This is bringing back memories.
When it comes to strength,
King Boss was undoubtedly the first.
The ranking?
I've heard some bad rumors.
The first-ranked king
will be able to pick one item
from the Divine Treasure Vault.
That's right.
The past kings had all chosen
the same treasure.
But they either went missing
or lost their sanity in the end.
What did they take from the god?
Who knows?
I'm not too sure myself.
This is such a busy town.
Indeed.
I'll shop for some necessities.
Take care of Prince Bojji.
Yes, sir.
Well, then…
Prince Bojji!
Prince Bojji!
This is bad.
Please spare my life!
Shut it, you traitor!
Wait. I will be your opponent!
Go for it!
It's a gold coin.
Where did Prince Bojji go?
Prince Bojji!
He's actually asleep.
Wait. Where is his bag?
Prince Bojji…
Where is your bag?
Could it be that
it was stolen?
You fool!
Do you think an apology is enough?
I'm very sorry!
Say no more.
Your mistake is our responsibility.
Prince Bojji.
The people have to work hard
to make a living.
Please don't do anything
that might tempt others to sin.
Please learn from this mistake.
Is there anything valuable in the bag?
Well…
There's the letter Queen Hiling wrote
for her parents.
That's bad!
-Yes.
-You…
Forget it. There's nothing we can do.
What?
All right. Let's grab something to eat.
This is hard for me to say,
but your ranking will drop significantly.
I'm afraid your ranking
will drop to around 90th.
Do you have the determination to obey
whatever order you receive?
What kind of order?
There isn't an example.
Are you going to obey or not?
I'm not sure.
You lack resolve.
I will obey my orders.
The royals carry unimaginable pressure
and responsibilities.
It's not up to us to decide
if they've made the right order.
I see. I didn't think it through.
No, it's fine.
What kind of pressure and responsibilities
is Prince Bojji carrying?
Thank you so much.
We won't walk past any town for now.
It will be a dangerous journey ahead.
Yes, sir.
Prince Bojji!
That's your bag.
Everything is still in the bag.
Why is that?
No matter what happens,
I will stay by your side.
Who are you, intruder?
Are you from the mundane world?
You can't even speak.
Why did you come to this forest?
I know!
The forest is amazing!
You can feel its great mystery!
Look.
New sacrifices will be granted
to us hunters just like that.
Dance along with me.
This is the dance of reconciliation.
The ritual begs for the forgiveness
of the soul that left the body
and expresses gratitude.
Also to have them sacrifice again
for us to stay alive.
Here you go.
It's good!
This is too good!
How mysterious.
But this is the nature of life.
We hunt and kill other animals to live.
Are you my next sacrifice?
Prince Bojji!
Prince Bojji, you are safe!
We came after seeing the fire.
We're so worried!
What happened? Who is that guy?
Prince Bojji, eat up.
Prince Bojji!
Who's there?
I don't see anyone.
How is this possible?
I don't feel any presence.
They must have left.
Who could it be?
It's probably some thieves.
They must be a family.
Bebin!
These are your knives.
You must be here. Show yourself!
The knives must have been poisoned.
Prince Bojji, let's bury them.
I'm sure they will be living happily
in another world as a family.
Another world…
Do you know where
we are going to pass by next?
I have no idea.
It's the cave
that leads to the Underworld.
It's also known as the Gates of Hell.
The Gates of Hell…
But it's a prosperous town.
This town maintains its peace
by preventing the spirits from entering
thanks to its strongest knights,
the Order of the Underworld.
Hokuro, find us an inn.
Yes.
Prince Bojji.
Let's get a closer look
at the Gates of Hell.
Every few minutes,
an enormous flame will erupt
from the Gates of Hell.
It looks just like hellfire.
Come closer to have a look, Prince Bojji.
It's bottomless.
Forgive me, Prince Bojji.
Where is this place?
This is the Pandora Box.
You must never open it.
Mother.
No.
You have to open it
if you want to be the true king.
Mother!
Magic Mirror.
It's dark! I can't see anything!
Brother!
That is hope.
The only hope that can save you.
Brother!
He gets back up every time he falls.
With a strong heart that never gives up,
he will protect the kingdom from harm.
A dream…
Magic Mirror!
Yes.
I will have my father's strength now.
