I CAN’T AFFORD TO DIE YET...

NOT UNTIL I’VE RESTORED THE GLORY OF MY PEOPLE...

I CAN’T DIE HERE, NOT LIKE THIS...!

DARN IT ALL!!

HOW...?

HOW DID I LOSE... TO A BRAT LIKE YOU...?

ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR NONSENSE?

I THINK I'VE HEARD ENOUGH.

I'LL SEND YOU TO THE AFTERLIFE SO YOU CAN APOLOGIZE TO DONG.

...?!

RAAAH!!

HEAD CHIEF!!

GRAAA!!

HAA... HAA...

HEAD CHIEF! ARE YOU-?

YOU BASTARD!!

YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR CAUSING TROUBLE IN OUR LAND!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? KILL HIM!

HA... HAHA...!

AHAHAHA!!

AND HERE I WAS, WORRIED I MIGHT FAIL TO KILL YOU ONCE AGAIN.

BUT LOOK AT YOURSELF, MANZHU LI... YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD.

...?!

YOU'D AGREE WITH ME...

...IF YOU COULD SEE...

...THE PATHETIC LOOK ON YOUR FACE WITH YOUR OWN EYES.

HE IS THE SWORN ENEMY OF OUR PEOPLE!!

DARN IT! IT'S THE JOSEON ARMY!

HEAD CHIEF, YOU MUST GET OUT OF HERE!

QUICKLY! GET ON YOUR HORSE!

HYAH!

SHEESH. WHY DID THEY EVEN SEND ME HERE IF THEY WERE GOING TO SWARM IN LIKE THAT ANYWAY?

CAPTAIN KIM!

HEY, GWIYEONG. SO YOU MADE IT THROUGH, HUH?

WELL? DID YOU GET TO HAVE SOME FUN?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR...

I WISH I COULD ASK DONG IF SHE DID.

GWIYEONG, I WILL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENED...

G-GENERAL! THIS WAS ALL MY DOING...

TAKE THIS.

I RECOVERED YOUR CHILDREN AND PERSONALLY BROUGHT THEM BACK MYSELF.

I MADE SURE TO TREAT THEM WITH DIGNITY.

I WILL NOT PRESUME TO UNDERSTAND THE SORROW YOU ARE GOING THROUGH.

BUT YOU SHOULD RETURN TO JOSEON WITH US AND BURY YOUR CHILDREN WHERE THEY BELONG.

I SEE... CONTINUE THE REPORT.

ACCORDING TO THE CHETAMJAS, MANZHU LI WAS REVEALED TO BE THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE ATTACK.

IT APPEARS HE HAS BEEN REBUILDING HIS FORCES.

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, MENGTEMU'S JIANZHOU LEFT GUARD IS ALSO LIKELY TO SIDE WITH LI'S FORCES.

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE US DO?

WE NEED TO ACT, SIRE.

STARTING WITH THE REINFORCEMENT OF THE NORTHERN TROOPS..

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WOULD TRULY BENEFIT THE PEOPLE?

YES, YOUR MAJESTY.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, ANY MENTION OF THE NORTHERN POLICY...

...IS SURE TO STIR UP THE OFFICIALS AGAIN. SO WE MUST FOCUS ON PERSUADING THEM.

YOU SAID...

...IT WOULD BENEFIT THE PEOPLE.

IS THERE ANY GREATER JUSTIFICATION THAN THAT?

I HEREBY ORDER THE SECOND EXPEDITION AGAINST THE WILD JURCHENS.

BEGIN YOUR PREPARATIONS.

End of Chapter 2

Chapter Summary

Chetamja: The King’s Eyes S2 - Chapter 81 centers on Gwiyeong as he confronts defeated Great Chief Manzhu Li to avenge Dong. Li refuses to die before restoring his people's glory, his warriors rush in, but the Joseon army's arrival lets him escape on horseback. Gwiyeong grieves Dong with Captain Kim and the general, who returns recovered children for burial in Joseon, while the king orders the second expedition against the Wild Jurchens.

Chapter Analysis Chetamja: The King’s Eyes — S2 - Chapter 81
Chetamja: The King’s Eyes S2 - Chapter 81 opens with Gwiyeong standing over the defeated Great Chief Manzhu Li and demanding whether he will beg for his life. Li laughs instead of pleading, asking if begging would even spare him, then insists he cannot afford to die yet until he has restored the glory of his people. Gwiyeong, enraged by what he calls nonsense, declares he has heard enough and vows to send Li to the afterlife so he can apologize to Dong, turning a personal demand for vengeance into an attempted execution on the spot. Chetamja: The King’s Eyes S2 - Chapter 81 then shifts from that duel to intervention, as Li’s warriors rush in shouting for their Head Chief and ordering Gwiyeong’s death for causing trouble in their land. Gwiyeong mocks Li as already dead, while his men call Gwiyeong the sworn enemy of their people and urge that his throat be cut at any cost. The arrival of the Joseon army breaks the encirclement, forcing Li’s men to put him on horseback and flee, which leaves Gwiyeong alive but denied immediate revenge. The consequence is immediate grief rather than triumph, as Gwiyeong reunites with Captain Kim and admits he wishes he could ask Dong if she had fun, while the general takes responsibility and returns recovered children with dignity so they can be buried in Joseon. Chetamja: The King’s Eyes S2 - Chapter 81 closes by moving the decision to the court, where the report identifies Manzhu Li as the mastermind rebuilding his forces and warns that Mengtemu’s Jianzhou Left Guard may side with him. Despite concern that northern policy will stir up the officials, the king treats benefit to the people as sufficient justification and orders the second expedition against the Wild Jurchens, setting duty and large-scale retaliation above Gwiyeong’s unfinished personal reckoning.
