00:00The most important holiday of the year is coming.
00:03So, the king asked his loyal helper Merlin
00:06to make sure nothing can ruin the celebration.
00:10However, the following day, Merlin received an anonymous letter
00:13claiming that the royal jewels had been stolen
00:16and they knew where to look for them.
00:18The thing is, the young princess Meredith cares a lot about these jewels
00:23and without them, she won't attend the main ball.
00:26In the letter, there was only one sentence.
00:29Only these potent creatures can help you.
00:32Can you guess where to look for the jewels?
00:43The letter was clearly anonymous, but the author used the pseudonym Dracula.
00:48The letter is written in red ink, which looks pretty much like blood.
00:53Seems like the vampires were after the jewels.
00:58Merlin realized he had no time to lose
01:00and headed to the woods where supposedly vampires lived.
01:04He rode his horse for a couple of hours
01:06and stumbled upon a seemingly forlorn castle.
01:10Should Merlin come in?
01:11Does anyone live there?
01:22Even though the castle is covered in spider webs
01:24and seems like it's been abandoned years ago,
01:26look up!
01:27There's a dim candlelight in one of the windows.
01:30Merlin noticed it too and ventured in.
01:34When Merlin entered the castle,
01:36he didn't spot anything on the first floor.
01:39Then he saw two different stairs leading to the east and west aisles.
01:43Which one is safe to climb?
01:46Look, some of the stairs on the western staircase are broken.
01:50Merlin should use the eastern stairs.
01:55Once he climbed the stairs, he saw a room with inviting light.
01:59He heard laughter and someone speaking.
02:01He entered the room and saw four people.
02:04One of them must be a vampire.
02:06Can you guess who?
02:08The answer is a vampire.
02:12A guy in a blue gown has a vampire's bite on his neck,
02:15so technically he's a vampire,
02:17but he's newly converted,
02:19so he's unlikely to know anything about the jewels.
02:22The lady serving the turkey is wearing a bunch of silver jewelry,
02:26so she can't be one.
02:28The guy sitting at the table is reflecting on himself.
02:31He must be a vampire,
02:33but he doesn't look like one.
02:35He's wearing a blue gown,
02:37so technically he's a vampire,
02:39The guy sitting at the table is reflected in the mirror right in front of him,
02:43so the real vampire is the blonde lady.
02:46Plus, look at her glass.
02:48She's drinking blood.
02:52Merlin came up to the blonde lady and showed her the letter.
02:55She instantly stood up,
02:57winked at Merlin,
02:58and invited him to follow her.
03:00They entered another room,
03:02and the vampire lady said,
03:04I'm Isolde, and this is my playroom.
03:07If you want to get the royal jewels back,
03:10you gotta play with me.
03:12Are you into hide and seek?
03:15Boom! Isolde turned into a bat and flew away.
03:19Can you help Merlin find her?
03:30There are many bats in this room.
03:33There's one on the cupboard,
03:34another one on the curtains,
03:36and one more on the table.
03:38But they're all figurines,
03:40and only one of them has a trembling wing.
03:42Did you spot it?
03:44It's hiding behind the chair.
03:47Since Merlin did find Isolde,
03:49she couldn't but return the jewels back,
03:52so she said they were locked up in a safe.
03:54Isolde took Merlin to the room where the safe was,
03:57but she said he needed to guess the password.
04:00Can you help him guess it and open the safe?
04:11Looks like Isolde forgot to hide the note with the password.
04:14It's right there above the desk.
04:16So the password is 6090.
04:20Ah, look at these jewels!
04:23Merlin headed back to his home kingdom.
04:26Once he returned to the castle,
04:28he hid the jewels in the king's safe.
04:30When the celebration day finally came,
04:32the king opened the safe and got terrified.
04:35Why?
04:45There's a diamond missing from the crown,
04:47but Merlin brought it back a perfectly untouched crown,
04:50so somebody from the royal staff must have stolen this diamond.
04:55Very few people knew the password for the safe.
04:58It was Henry, the housekeeper,
05:00Jack, the royal counselor,
05:02and Merlin.
05:03We all know who Merlin is.
05:05The king called the three men to question each of them.
05:08The king asked if they had opened the safe to look at the jewels.
05:11Henry said he never knew the crown with the diamonds was in the safe.
05:15Jack said that he'd been away running some royal errands the previous day,
05:19so he couldn't have stolen anything.
05:22Merlin said he'd spent the previous day
05:24preparing for the big day together with the queen.
05:27Who's guilty?
05:38While Merlin and Jack's versions seem plausible,
05:40Henry's version seems a bit off.
05:43The king never mentioned the crown.
05:45He only asked about the jewels,
05:47but Henry gave himself away.
05:49He's guilty!
05:52Henry couldn't deny he was guilty,
05:54so he had to confess that he pawned the diamond as he needed the money.
05:59The king couldn't go to the pawnshop to retrieve the valuable stone,
06:02so he sent Merlin to do that.
06:05When Merlin arrived at the pawnshop,
06:07he asked the owner, Mr. Juleson,
06:09whether he bought any gems in the last few days.
06:13Mr. Juleson said he bought three large stones
06:15and showed them to Merlin.
06:17Can you guess which one is the real royal diamond?
06:22TICKING
06:30Even though at first glance these three gems look the same,
06:33there is a small mark on one of them.
06:35Look, there is a tiny letter R engraved on this stone.
06:39Merlin thought that R stood for royal,
06:42so he bought the diamond and brought it back to the king.
06:48It's finally the celebration day!
06:50All the people of the kingdom went to the festival,
06:52where they merrily danced and laughed.
06:56All of a sudden, the town got covered by a huge dark cloud.
07:01Bam! Out of nowhere, a wicked witch appeared,
07:04took the princess, and carried her away on her magic broom.
07:09She took the princess to a spooky forest and left her alone.
07:14Luckily, the princess had a magic pendant
07:16that could help her find her way back.
07:18The princess touched the pendant,
07:20and three spirit animals appeared.
07:23A butterfly, a hawk, and a caterpillar.
07:26What animal should the princess follow
07:28to get her back to her kingdom?
07:31TICKING
07:39If you were attentive enough,
07:41you might have noticed that at the festival,
07:43there were a lot of kingdom's blazons,
07:46all of them having a butterfly as their main symbol.
07:50Also, the princess has a butterfly embroidered on her dress.
07:55So her kingdom's spirit animal is the butterfly,
07:58and she should follow it.
08:02On her way home, the princess stumbled upon one more witch.
08:07She didn't seem evil.
08:08On the contrary, she invited the princess to her house
08:11and offered her a drink.
08:13The witch told her she needed to choose between the three drinks.
08:18The thing was that only one of the drinks was not poisoned.
08:22The drinks were tea with sugar,
08:25a cappuccino,
08:26and hot chocolate.
08:28Which one do you think she should choose?
08:32TICKING
08:40Let's see, if it was indeed sugar in the tea,
08:43it would have melted completely,
08:45but the sugar cubes are still there.
08:48The foam on top of the cappuccino is suspiciously yellowish,
08:52so it's probably unsafe to drink.
08:55So the princess opted for hot chocolate,
08:58thanked the witch,
08:59and continued her way to her kingdom.
09:04When the princess finally went back home,
09:06the celebration went on.
09:08All of a sudden, three knights,
09:10Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival,
09:13came up to her to have a chat.
09:15The princess felt uncomfortable.
09:17It seemed to her that one of the knights wasn't a real person.
09:22Can you guess who?
09:25TICKING
09:34Yeah, at first glance,
09:35these are just three handsome knights.
09:38But, take a closer look.
09:40Sir Percival has six fingers on each hand,
09:43and his ears are weirdly shaped.
09:46He must be an alien!
09:50The princess thought that if Percival is an alien,
09:53there must be more aliens at the festival.
09:56Can you spot all of them?
09:59TICKING
10:07The young princess has a sharp eye.
10:09There are three more aliens looking similar to Percival.
10:13Look, there is a woman holding the flowers.
10:15She has pointed ears just like Sir Percival.
10:19The old man on the left has a similar feature too.
10:22And the man in the center is an alien as well.
10:26That's it for today.
