The Truth

3 years ago, when prisoners were exiled to a desert island.

The women began to cook the food from the King, while the men cleared the caves for them to live properly. Some children play happily, as if they don't care that they are serving a sentence, not having a picnic.

Taemin set the cloth as a sleeping pad for his mother, Yeobi. He supported Yeobi, whose leg was injured to sit in the cave. Yeobi looked at her son's hand who was holding her arm. She touched it softly. Two eyes looking at each other meaningfully, lovingly.

For twenty years, Yeobi hid this child from Mihol and Taealha. Taemin didn't even have time to taste the breastmilk. He was raised by a Hae tribe knight. This young man became a knight when he was a teenager.

"Mom," Taemin called. "From now on I can call you Mommy."

Yeobi burst into tears. She nodded, patting the back of her son's hand.

"Hey, let's eat," said Hae Tuak with a bowl of food. That's her second bowl.

"I'll get it for you," Taemin said.

Taemin peered the cauldron, it turns out that only one serving of food. He glanced annoyed at Hae Tuak who was enjoying her third bowl.

"You don't eat, son?" Yeobi asked when Taemin only brought one bowl.

"I've eaten outside."

"Don't tell me you only have one serving," Yeobi squinted.

Taemin only scratched his head that was not itchy.

"Eat. I'm not going to eat dinner tonight," Yeobi offered the bowl, but Taemin refused.

"I will hunt in the forest. Mommy can eat first."

Carrying a rabbit that he caught, Taemin returned from the forest. But the rabbit fell from his grasp when he saw everyone vomiting and some were lying lifeless.

He ran into the cave, found Yeobi already lying with foamy mouth. His knees could not support his body. He had to crawl to reach his mother's body. Trembling he touched the pulse of Yeobi. It's no longer throbbing.

The night birds, perched on branches, suddenly fluttered in surprise by Taemin's roar.

From the top of the leafy tree, Taemin stared intently at the Arthdal ​​soldiers who dug a hole and buried all the bodies in the hole into one. Fortunately, he had buried his mother properly beforehand, so that his mother had not been thrown away like other corpses.

After the warrior ship left, he descended from the tree. He stared at the mound where everyone was buried with a blank look. Slowly he knelt to pay his last respects.

He collected wood, made a boat. His long hair is cut short. He let his mustache and beard cover his smooth face.

For several days he was adrift in the middle of the ocean, until he managed to reach Marugin Island. He managed to slip into the island without getting caught. He continued to walk for several days until he reached the capital.
