Rookie is achieving the heights thanks to Geum Wa's continous favour! (spoilers)

He's still at the height of success.


So Jumong returns to the palace after having found his sense of self and he is given a position by the King. You know, I really have moment when I ask just what is Geum Wa. Selfish coward and hypocrite or a man who trully wishes to care fo jumong as the son of his friend. or maybe he just does it for YooHwa, because he loves her. For this reason, he keeps eluding the brackets and doesn;t let himself be labelled. He's just as perceptive and clever. He knows when he can make a move. I think his position is quiute precarious too, in a way, even though I have a suspoicion that the reason he jadn;t trained Jumong as a child was because he was resentful of Hae Mo Su's power and I found that frustrating, given than in the initial episodes he probably alo had a deep desire for his friend to die. And yet, he tries to give Jumong opportunities and in this episode during his heart to heart with Jumong, his words sway me to think that he is genuine and honest in his concerns for Jumong...as much as he afford to be. or maybe he is just trying to silence Jumong by sucking up to him. or maybe he really is trying to offer him a possibility of fulfilling his destiny as Hae Mo Su's son. I am really in double minds about Geum Wa. However, as a king, his stiuation due to changing influences in court is always changing. a master can quite easily turn into a slave. And Yoo Hwa is really perceptive in this matter. Winds of change are about to blow. The Crown prince issue has been taking him too long too decide. He is alreay overstretching his authority.

On his side, Jumong, who in this episode now brings his three friends to the palace, is really clever in the way he is gradually building up a circle of trusted people who will follow him to the ends of the earth because he shows his people that his actions are governed by genuine interest and concern for them. The way of Hae Mo Su and his son is to be more forgiving and understanding. i think it points to the genuine strength of character of these two heroes.

For Jumong this is too much success and I am expecting to see a downards spiral soon. An anyway, I dare say his destiny lies elswhere rather than in this kingdom. BuYeo belings to someone else. He is of a different blood. Nothign can change that and so Destiny awaits.
