Winter snowfall buried the corpses of soldiers piled on the battlefield. Victims fell from both sides, both Arthdal ​​and Ago.

The attack strategy planned by Saya was unsuccessful. Someone who claims to be a god for the Ago tribe is also good at managing war strategies. Whereas before, Saya had obtained information from the Red Claw, a spy in Ago, about the strategy that Inaishingi would use. But when the war drums are struck, the strategy suddenly changes. And until now, the birds that are usually sent by the Red Claw have not yet appeared to provide information. He suspected, maybe the spy was caught.

Eunseom pushed aside the curtain of the tent, where Soohana sat on the ground with her body tied and her mouth stuffed with cloth.

The last time Soohana sent a secret letter through a bird, Eunseom saw that and felt suspicious. He told Miroosol to shoot a bird that was flyng in the sky. And sure enough, there was a piece of fabric with writing tied to the bird's feet.

"Can anyone read?" Eunseom asked.

No one answered.

"Whatever the contents of this letter, I'm sure Soohana would leak information to the opponent. Catch her!"

Now Eunseom removed a wad of cloth from Soohana's mouth. He handed a spoonful of rice in front of her tightly closed mouth.

"Are you planning to die?"

"I'm innocent. I'm not a spy."

"There's proof, you can't dodge it anymore."

"You can't even read what the letter says."

"Don't you think because I can't read, then I don't know what the meaning of the letter you sent is."

"The letter is addressed to the Momo Tribe for help."

"Do you think I'm blind in direction? The bird goes west, toward Arthdal. Not to Marugin in the south."

Soohana was speechless.

Eunseom put a rice bowl on the ground, "I have been kind enough not to kill you, even fed you food."

"You're still alive now because of me," said Soohana before Eunseom came out of the tent. "I beheaded Tae Apdok for you. He cannot see the morning sun not because of your prophecy. You are not Inaishingi. If the people know this fact ..."

"Do you think they will believe in swindlers who claim to be gods, who have freed them from slavery, or to a traitor who will bring them to great defeat?"

Eunseom took back the bowl he had given Soohana, "This food is too valuable for a traitor."

A few months later ...

The east gate of the fort opened when Ryangpung came with food he had taken from Arthdal. Not only food, he also brought news.

"What? Tagon Niruha has another son?" Gitoha looked surprised.

"Yes, when I just arrived at the grocery storage, I saw the doctors running around, looking so busy. It turns out, Tagon Niruha's son was just born."

"By whom?"

"Who else? Queen Taealha."

In the corner of the room, Yangcha was cleaning the chain in silence. But no one knew that his lips had a smile behind his mask.

"Son ... my son ... my son is born ..."

Gitoha seemed to count using his fingers, "that means, the Queen was pregnant before they were legally married. Why wasn't her pregnancy announced before?"
