Mu-gyeol

Three watches outside the door. Nothing happened.

• Hong-iYou didn't even drink water in three watches, did you.
  Mu-gyeolI did.
  Hong-iLiar. The water bowl never moved.
• Chief Eunuch YangWhat's behind that door is the more dangerous thing.

He stood on the stone bridge in the rear garden a long while. I stood behind him, not knowing where to put my sword.

• Dan-a the PhysicianThere are things a blade can't stop.
  Mu-gyeolI know.
• Ryu Si-gyeomDidn't I tell you not to follow.
  Mu-gyeolI only take orders once we're through that door.

Retied the knot. Third time now.

• Hong-iYou've hurt your hand.
  Mu-gyeolComes with the tying.
• Chief Eunuch YangA warrior knows beforehand when a knot is about to give.
  Mu-gyeolIt didn't give. It was cut.
