Life must go on.
King Yaswant, along with his queen and son, stayed there for a few more days. They comforted King Taeho to overcome the current situation. Now they were preparing to go back. A group of people had also accompanied King Yaswant from India, who showed an interest in establishing trade with Korea and exploring their culture. These people voluntarily came forward without compulsion when King Yaswant set a notice asking for interested people who wished to do the same. He thought that it would help them understand the culture and grow in harmony with each other. The group included traders, artists, scholars, and ordinary workers. They were happy to visit Korea, but now the scene has changed into a sad one because of the death of Prince Lim Jae Wook.
King Yaswant thought that these people and the natives of Korea would create a good bond with each other. When King Taeho came to know about this, he was happy that even in the middle of immense sadness, his fatherlike figure, King Yaswant, showed concern for the betterment. He felt like a part of them living here would ensure him that King Yaswant was only one call away to help him.
He agreed, and the group stayed there. It was hard for King Yaswant and Rani Nanda to say goodbye to King Taeho, whom they considered their son. Prince Tejas was happy and helpless at the same time. He was happy that the prince became king but was sad about his return. They went back after a while.

The state is now ruled by King Taeho.

The very first thing he wanted to find out was about the suspicious deaths of his brother and his lover. He knew that his brother's lover lived in the eastern part of their state, but how did they end up in the South Valley? It was evident that they weren't attacked by any wild animals. As per the diagnosis made by the royal physician, both of them were stabbed to death. They might have been attacked by the robbers, who took away their ornaments and sword. But, as a part of the coronation ceremony preparations, soldiers were sent to every border spot to ensure that there were no invaders. Then how could this happen? He ordered his chief commander to investigate this. He wanted to know who killed his brother. He also made sure that his lover's family was taken care of. That is all he can do now. He visited her family and ensured that he would bring justice to them. They could trust him like a son.
A few more days passed. Everything is getting back to normal except for the sad memories. Lim Maya decided to spend the next few months in her native land. King Taeho thought that she needed a change from this place. The king wished to meet the people who came from India. They were invited to the palace. They offered him the presents they carried from India.
