The narrative resumes nearly one millennium later, circa A.D. 896, as Silla is showing symptoms of strain and the court is beset by constant rebellions. Queen Jinseong Kim Hyeri, troubled by the threats to the throne, leans on General Biharang Jung Joonho against the counsels of her ministers. Biharang strives to save the country, but he is also weary of the endless battles. He, however, spurns the Queens romantic attentions in favor of his betrothed Jaunbi Kim Hyojin, the daughter of an executed rebel, with whom he wishes to settle down and lead a quiet, peaceful life.While Biharang has left for the countrys border to quench the rebels, Jaunbi is chased by assassins who were apparently ordered by the Queen to kill her. In panic, Jaunbi removes the Sword from the Sacred Tree thus releasing the soul of Auta tribal chief. But the assassins easily overpower her and try to rape her. Jaunbi somehow slips away from their hands and reaches at the edge of the Evil Lake. She throws herself into the Lake before leaving her necklace there as a sign for Biharang that she is dead. ........
