Soo-Won tells Yona that he was avenging the death of his father Yu-Hon, who was killed by King Il in the past. Soo-Won's adviser Kye-Sook arrives and suggests for the castle guards to kill Yona in order to silence her. However, Hak appears and defends Yona from being attacked by the castle guards. Once Hak learns of King Il's death, he clashes with Soo-Won. Hak manages to injure Soo-Won, but the castle guards capture Yona and surround Hak. Yona's servant Min-Soo fires an arrow as a distraction, allowing Hak to retrieve Yona and evade the castle guards. Min-Soo disguises himself with a kimono and sacrifices his life as a decoy, giving Yona and Hak the chance to escape from Hiryuu Castle into the mountains. In response, Soo-Won sends the castle guards to search for the two.
