Transcript
00:00Your Majesty.
00:06Summon the eldest Prince Aurelius, Aurelius, to hand over the military power to General Monty,
00:12and immediately return to the capital from the border.
00:18The Imperial Edict is ready, Your Majesty. Please review it.
00:30Issue it after stamping the Imperial Seal.
00:33Yes.
00:34You may leave.
00:38Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
00:42Where is the Celestial Physician?
00:44He will arrive in a few days, Your Majesty. Don't worry. With the Celestial Physician, you will be fine.
00:50Even with the Celestial Physician, I can only live a few more days. I have a terminal illness.
00:56I am just worried about the future Crown Prince of Samaria.
01:01Your Majesty, haven't you already decided to summon the eldest Prince back to the capital?
01:06Aurelius is capable, but stubborn. Yet kind. I fear he may struggle to manage the overall situation.
01:14Mordecai has a good personality, but lacks ability.
01:19I summoned Aurelius back to the capital, just to see if his personality has been tempered.
01:26Mr. Samuel, do you really want Aurelius to ascend the throne, since he's been guarding the border?
01:33He has repeatedly levied taxes on the gentry.
01:36If he ascends the throne, the gentry will never have a day of peace, Mr. Samuel.
01:40You are the second Prince Mordecai's teacher.
01:43If Mordecai ascends the throne, it will be beneficial for both of us.
01:47How can I trust you?
01:48Mr. Samuel, Aurelius was very dissatisfied with me.
01:51When he left the capital, he even threatened to take my life upon his return.
01:56If he ascends the throne, I will have no way to live.
01:59Aurelius commands an army of 600,000.
02:01Mr. Samuel, Aurelius is foolishly loyal.
02:05If there is an imperial edict from His Majesty, he will commit suicide.
02:09His Majesty only has half a month to live, and the round trip to the capital will take more than a month.
02:16Mr. Samuel.
02:17I will kill you!
02:29These fragmented memories tell me that.
02:33I've traveled to the Sumeria dynasty and become the exiled eldest Prince Aurelius.
02:38Five years ago, due to political disagreements with the Emperor, I was exiled to guard the border.
02:43The second Prince Mordecai and I are vying for the throne.
02:46He constantly tries to kill me.
02:48But why are these memories incomplete?
02:53Your Highness!
02:54You're finally awake!
02:55Who?
02:56Who are you?
02:57Your Highness!
02:58It's me, Monty!
02:59Did you lose your memory from the fall?
03:02Monty?
03:03The Imperial Edict has arrived.
03:05By order of the Emperor of Sumeria, Mr. Aurelius, deceived the Emperor and disregarded the law, acted recklessly and unlawfully, and oppressed the people against my will.
03:24For the sake of the Sumerian mountains and rivers, I bestow this sword for you to commit suicide.
03:33Nonsense!
03:33How could His Majesty order the Prince's death?
03:35Monty, the Imperial Edict is here. What do you intend to do?
03:47Monty, the Imperial Edict is here. What do you intend to do?
03:49The next step is to have the Prince commit suicide. Based on his past filial piety and foolish loyalty, he will definitely commit suicide.
04:03Your Highness, just do it and maintain some dignity.
04:07I just got here and I'm about to die. What bad luck.
04:09Your Highness, hand over the Tiger Tally for military dispatch.
04:12What Tiger Tally?
04:16You, you mean the Tiger Tally is in my hands?
04:18Not in yours.
04:20Could it be in my possession, Mr. Aurelius? Quickly hand over the Tiger Tally for 600,000 troops.
04:25You're saying that I command an army of 600,000, and I'm the Eldest Prince and the legitimate heir?
04:34Is he telling the truth?
04:35His Majesty did this to train you. He specifically gave you the 600,000 troops in the north.
04:39I have 600,000 troops.
04:41And you still want to execute me?
04:44Mr. Aurelius, what are you trying to do? Hand over the Tiger Tally immediately.
04:49Talon, you are really putting me in a difficult position.
04:53You!
04:53Someone!
04:55Talon forged the Imperial Edict to execute me. Take him out and execute him.
04:59You, you are rebelling!
05:02Take him out and execute him.
05:04You're rebelling!
05:06Aurelius, you are rebelling!
05:07Your Highness, this death warrant must be forged. No matter what, His Majesty, would never execute you.
05:14Who do you think would be the one to benefit most from my death?
05:17For now.
05:18We suddenly receive this edict. There must be something going on in the capital. I have to go back to the capital.
05:24You gather the food and supplies and march south with the army.
05:27Yes, Your Highness. But after returning to the capital, Your Highness, you should first go to see Duke Caspar.
05:33You and Mr. Caspar's daughter, Cecilia, are betrothed. And Caspar is devoted to the country.
05:39Got it.
05:40It has been a month. Father is still alive, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Isaac. What should we do?
05:48Now His Majesty has found a celestial physician to treat him. I'm afraid this is troublesome.
05:55Aurelius must have committed suicide by now. If this news reaches His Majesty's ears, we are all doomed.
06:01Then we might as well go all the way, Justin.
06:10Your Highness, what do you think?
06:13Kill him! If Father doesn't die, it would have been my head that rolled.
06:19Master, the latest news. Mr. Aurelius entered the city half an hour ago and sent a visiting card to Duke Caspar.
06:26He will officially visit tomorrow, Duke Caspar.
06:31I see, and you may leave.
06:35Aurelius didn't commit suicide, and he's back in the capital, so we cannot make a move on His Majesty anymore.
06:40Otherwise...
06:41We'll just be playing into Aurelius' hands.
06:43Mr. Samuel, what should we do if Aurelius tells Father about the death warrant?
06:47I'm finished.
06:50Then let's kill with another's hand.
06:53Your Highness, I need you to handle this matter.
06:56Me!
07:01Mr. Mordecai, who allowed you into my room, get out!
07:10What if I don't want to?
07:20You smell nice. I like it.
07:24Get out of here!
07:25My father is Duke Caspar. My fiancé is your older brother. If you dare to do anything, His Majesty will not spare you.
07:32If your father wasn't Duke Caspar, I wouldn't be here.
07:35You... what do you mean?
07:36Your father controls. The strongest left Imperial guards in the capital having you is equivalent to having his support.
07:44Wouldn't my throne be secure then?
07:46Aurelius!
07:57I will kill you!
07:58Aurelius, to spill blood inside the main hall. Do you want to die?
08:18I don't know if I'll die, but you forged the Imperial Edict to execute me and insulted my fiancée.
08:23You are definitely dead.
08:28That's the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Golden Throne Hall. You can't chase after him with a sword.
08:37Your Majesty, the Crown Prince position has been vacant for a long time.
08:42Please appoint the Crown Prince soon to solidify the foundation of the country.
08:45I have two sons. My eldest son is exceptionally capable, but has flaws in his character.
08:51My second son lacks ability, but has a good character, Mr. Samuel. Who do you think can be the Crown Prince?
08:56Naturally, it should be Mr. Mordecai as the Crown Prince. A ruler should prioritize virtue.
09:02Lack of ability can be supplemented by support from ministers, but character flaws are irreparable.
09:09Your Majesty, we implore to appoint Mr. Mordecai as the Crown Prince to stabilize the nation.
09:19Your Majesty, I think we should appoint Mr. Aurelius as the heir apparent.
09:23Mr. Casper, you need to think this through. Appointing Mr. Mordecai as Crown Prince is the general consensus.
09:30I've thought it through.
09:32Mr. Casper, tell us your reasons.
09:33Your Majesty, the National Treasury is currently strained.
09:37Natural disasters are frequent.
09:39The number of refugees has surged.
09:41Border conflicts are serious.
09:43In these turbulent times, we must choose a wise and capable prince as heir apparent.
09:48From what Mr. Casper said, it seems that Mr. Mordecai is not wise.
09:52Don't be hasty, Mr. Samuel.
09:54Let Mr. Casper finish.
09:55Back then, Mr. Aurelius amazed the world with his talent.
09:59Now, after five years defending the border, his abilities are even more exceptional.
10:04Mr. Mordecai has yet to have such experience.
10:07How can he be appointed the Crown Prince?
10:09Casper is right.
10:10As long as Aurelius completes this final test, he will be the best successor of Samaria.
10:15Mr. Casper, your words are biased.
10:17Although Mr. Mordecai lacks such experience, he has a flexible personality.
10:21Whereas Mr. Aurelius is rigid and short-tempered.
10:25Aurelius, this is really a misunderstanding.
10:28Misunderstanding my ass, I'm going to kill you today.
10:30Father, save me!
10:31Father, save me!
10:41Aurelius, stop right now!
10:45Father, Mordecai is acting recklessly.
10:48After I execute him, I will explain everything to you.
10:50Insolent, do you even recognize my authority?
10:54I sent you away for five years of training, and this is how you've trained.
11:00Father, do you know what happened?
11:02Regardless of what he did, there is no justification for you chasing Mr. Mordecai through the main hall with a sword.
11:08What if he was trying to break into Duke Casper's mansion to insult me?
11:13Your Majesty.
11:13You just said Mordecai insulted you.
11:16Today, let me test Aurelius.
11:18Let's see if five years at the border have made him a worthy heir.
11:22This morning, Mordecai forced his way into my chambers and insulted me.
11:26If it weren't for Mr. Aurelius, I would have lost my chastity.
11:30Nonsense!
11:30Mr. Mordecai is intelligent, loyal, humble, and courteous.
11:34He would never do such a thing.
11:35So, Mr. Samuel, you mean I would risk my reputation to falsely accuse Mr. Mordecai?
11:40Tell me honestly, did you do it?
11:42Father, Cecilia seduced me.
11:45I refused her.
11:46But then Aurelius came charging in with his sword, accusing me and Cecilia of indecent behavior.
11:53Mordecai insulted me and is now shifting the blame.
11:56Your Majesty, I beg you to give me justice.
11:59Otherwise, I will prove my innocence with my life.
12:02Cecilia is my fiancée.
12:03Why would she seduce you?
12:06Ask your fiancée.
12:07Why are you asking me?
12:08What a coward, unable to own up your actions!
12:11Silence!
12:15First tell me, why were you at Duke Casper's mansion?
12:19Father, I heard Aurelius had returned.
12:21I wanted to see him this morning, but he wasn't at his residence.
12:24I heard he was at Duke Casper's mansion.
12:27So I went there too.
12:28Your Majesty, I have a theory.
12:30Please forgive my presumption.
12:32Speak freely.
12:33Your Majesty, I think it's a plot by Mr. Aurelius.
12:36A plot?
12:40How can you say that?
12:41Your Majesty, Mr. Aurelius, in order to seize the Crown Prince position, set up a plot.
12:46If I want to fight for the Crown Prince position, do I need my fiancée to seduce him?
12:52Who does he think he is?
12:54Isaac, as a eunuch, you dare to discuss state affairs.
12:56You deserve to die for this crime.
12:58Insolence, let Isaac speak.
12:59Go on.
13:00Your Majesty, everyone knows Mr. Aurelius has a bad temper.
13:04And five years ago, he angered you and was banished to the border.
13:08He has no hope of inheriting the throne.
13:10However, Mr. Mordecai is humble, thoughtful, and loyal.
13:14Appointing him the Crown Prince is what everyone expects.
13:17So Mr. Aurelius wants to kill Mr. Mordecai?
13:20This is the crime of fratricide?
13:22Insolence!
13:23It's my business!
13:24When does a eunuch like you to talk nonsense here?
13:26Nonsense!
13:27All the officials in the court saw you chasing Mr. Mordecai with a sword.
13:31You call this nonsense?
13:33Enough silence.
13:35This is not the Crown Prince I want.
13:37Let me push you one more time.
13:39For this matter, none of you can provide evidence.
13:42Fortunately, Miss Cecilia is unharmed.
13:44Let's put an end to this matter.
13:47Since it is Father's will, then I will obey, I wonder, Aurelius.
13:51I don't agree.
13:53Your Majesty, in your eyes, is my reputation such a small matter?
13:57Mordecai!
13:58Although you are a prince, my daughter's reputation is not something to be slandered.
14:02His Majesty has issued a decree.
14:04Are you going to disobey the Imperial decree?
14:07His Majesty has already overlooked Mr. Aurelius bringing a sword to the hall to harm his own kin.
14:12It is already a great mercy.
14:13What more do you want?
14:14You insulted my fiancée, and you think this is over.
14:18It is already a great mercy, Father.
14:20Since when have you favored Mordecai?
14:22To this extent, if he doesn't give me an explanation today, I will definitely make him pay.
14:27What are you going to do?
14:29What do you want to do?
14:30What price do you want Mordecai to pay?
14:33You keep saying that Mordecai insulted Cecilia.
14:36Do you have any proof?
14:37Mr. Aurelius is so defiant of your Majesty.
14:39What are your intentions?
14:41Could it be that you don't even listen to your Majesty?
14:43You eunuch, if you dare say another word, I will kill you!
14:52Your Majesty, I'm doing this for Mr. Aurelius' own good.
14:55Your Majesty is the ruler, and Mr. Aurelius is the son and subject.
14:59A son obeying his father is the natural order.
15:02Aurelius, we are blood brothers.
15:04I won't fight you for the throne.
15:06Why do you have to frame me for it?
15:08You have the nerve to say I framed you.
15:10You said I wanted to do something improper to Cecilia.
15:13That's nonsense.
15:14I'm a well-read man.
15:15How could I do something so despicable?
15:17Father, I didn't expect Aurelius would disregard his fiancée's reputation for the throne.
15:23Father, please send me to the border as a vassal king,
15:27and I'll leave the capital so we can avoid fratricide.
15:30You really like putting on an act, don't you?
15:32Fine, since you like it so much today, I...
15:34Enough silence.
15:35Look at yourself and look at Mordecai.
15:37Don't you feel any guilt or remorse?
15:39Guilt?
15:40What should I feel guilty about?
15:41Should I feel guilty that I'm still alive?
15:43Should I feel guilty that I went in early?
15:45And should I just let this animal harass my fiancée?
15:48Shut up!
15:48In these past few years, is this how you've been training?
15:51Do you know where you are?
15:53Drawing your sword in the Golden Throne Hall?
15:55And trying to kill your brother Mordecai and Grand Eunuch Isaac?
15:58Tell me, what do you want to do?
16:00Of course, I want to kill Mordecai and Isaac.
16:04Killing Isaac!
16:05All right, go ahead.
16:08Let me see.
16:09If he dares to kill someone in the Golden Throne Hall,
16:11if he dares to make a move,
16:13I'll throw him into the dungeon immediately.
16:15Yes, your majesty.
16:19Mr. Aurelius, I'm here.
16:20I want to see if you dare to do it in the Golden Throne Hall.
16:23So what if I did?
16:39How could you kill someone in the main hall?
16:40He deserved to die.
16:45Mordecai, it's your turn.
16:47Aurelius, you ungrateful brat.
16:50Your majesty, Aurelius killed someone in the main hall
16:53and defied your authority, your majesty.
16:55Please issue a decree to severely punish Aurelius
16:57to uphold the law of the land.
17:00Aurelius, I'm not even fighting you for the Crown Prince position anymore.
17:04Why did you still kill Isaac?
17:06Could it be that you won't rest until I'm dead?
17:09That's right.
17:12I won't rest until you're dead.
17:15So, do you want to suicide?
17:17Or do you want me to help you?
17:26You brat!
17:27Go to the dungeon yourself and reflect on your actions.
17:29Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the dungeon.
17:32What if I refuse?
17:34Do you have the right?
17:35Look at what you've done.
17:36This is the result of your five years guarding the border.
17:41When will you truly understand it?
17:45Your majesty, what do you mean?
17:47No, we must force Aurelius to his death.
17:50He's a loose cannon while he lives.
17:53Your majesty, Aurelius killed someone in the main hall
17:57and showed no remorse.
17:59If this gets out,
18:00how can the court of Samaria maintain its order?
18:03How can the dignity of Samaria be preserved?
18:06And what about your majesty's authority?
18:09Your majesty,
18:09if you don't severely punish Aurelius,
18:12then the officials of the court
18:14and the people will surely be dissatisfied.
18:16Then public anger will rise.
18:18And the foundation of Samaria will be unstable, your majesty.
18:22Your majesty,
18:24please issue a decree to severely punish Aurelius.
18:27Otherwise, we are willing to boycott the court.
18:29Whoever dares to boycott the court,
18:31I will behead them.
18:33Three-legged toads are hard to find,
18:35but two-legged men are not.
18:37If you don't want to do it,
18:38there are plenty of people who will.
18:40Enough.
18:41Someone,
18:42harass the eldest Prince Aurelius.
18:43Or me.
18:44Wait.
18:53Your majesty,
18:54Isaac deserves to die.
18:55Mr. Aurelius killing Isaac is upholding the national law.
18:59How does Isaac deserve to die?
19:01Mr. Aurelius' lawlessness is unforgivable.
19:04In our ancestral system,
19:06eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics.
19:08Isaac interfered in politics in the main hall.
19:10According to the ancestral system,
19:12he should be executed.
19:14How did Mr. Isaac interfere in politics?
19:16He just gave Aurelius some advice
19:17and chatted about our family matters.
19:18How is this interfering in politics?
19:20The Imperial family has no family matters.
19:23The affairs of the Royal family are affairs of state.
19:26You!
19:27What about me?
19:28Get down here right now.
19:29Otherwise, I will go up.
19:31Arrest this rebellious brat for me.
19:36Father.
19:38Are you sure you want to?
19:39Put me under house arrest.
19:41I want you to know
19:42what the proper relationship
19:43between ruler and subject,
19:44father and son is.
19:46No matter what Isaac did wrong,
19:48I will deal with it myself.
19:50It's not your place to kill someone in the main hall.
19:53I had high hopes for you.
19:55You have really disappointed me.
19:57Do you act like a royal?
19:59So, you want to put me under house arrest, don't you?
20:03I don't want to talk to you anymore.
20:04Someone lock this brat in the dungeon.
20:07Wait!
20:07I have a question, your majesty.
20:12What do you want to ask?
20:14Your majesty,
20:15you keep saying that's the end of it.
20:17Can I assume that
20:18no matter how Mr. Mordecai insults me,
20:21that's the end of it,
20:22as long as there is no evidence.
20:24If Mr. Mordecai kills someone to silence them,
20:26destroys the body and eliminates all traces,
20:29that's also the end of it.
20:32Regarding the matter of Mr. Casper's daughter,
20:34I will give an explanation afterwards.
20:37What are you waiting for?
20:38Arrest Aurelius immediately!
20:42After Aurelius was imprisoned in the dungeon,
20:44we can poison him secretly,
20:46and he will surely die.
20:48Then only his majesty are left to be eliminated.
20:51It's a pity that Isaac is dead.
20:53Otherwise, it would have been easier,
20:55but it's not a big problem.
20:57A bit difficult,
20:58but not much.
21:00Mr. Aurelius, please.
21:04If anyone dares to approach me,
21:14I will kill them without mercy.
21:17If anyone dares to approach me,
21:19I will kill them without mercy.
21:22How dare you!
21:23Your majesty,
21:25I implore you to issue a decree
21:26to execute Aurelius
21:28to set an example for the world.
21:30Mr. Aurelius disrespects his emperor and father
21:33If he is not killed,
21:34it will not be enough
21:35to uphold the imperial authority.
21:38If he is not killed,
21:39it will not be enough
21:40to set an example for all under heaven.
21:43Once this matter gets out,
21:44everyone in the world will know
21:46that your majesty did not severely punish Mr. Aurelius.
21:49Then they will follow suit.
21:51How can the people of this world be restrained,
21:53your majesty?
21:55Father,
21:56Aurelius killing the imperial gods in court
21:58is an act of treason.
22:00For the sake of the country and the people,
22:02I hope you can severely punish Aurelius.
22:05Otherwise,
22:05sons rebelling against their fathers
22:07will become commonplace throughout the land.
22:09Then all order and propriety will collapse
22:11and the world will be in chaos.
22:14I will give you one last chance.
22:17Go to the dungeon yourself,
22:18reflect on your sins
22:19and repent to the world
22:20and I may consider...
22:22Impossible!
22:23You bread!
22:24Do you really want to die?
22:26Do you know what I have suffered, father?
22:27Do you know what I have been through?
22:29I received a...
22:30No matter what you have suffered,
22:32it is no excuse for you to kill someone in court
22:35and defy me,
22:36I will put you under house arrest
22:38and no one can save you.
22:46Indeed!
22:48You are the emperor.
22:50Why would you care what I've been through?
22:51Why would you blame Mordecai
22:53for what he did to my fiancée?
22:58Someone
22:59seize this rebellious brat!
23:01Today is not the same as before.
23:20Father.
23:21My name is Aurelius.
23:24Sharing the same name with the famous emperor.
23:26I, Aurelius, am not someone to be slaughtered at will.
23:34Now, father, you have forced me to this.
23:37Whoever forces me
23:38will be killed by me.
23:39Mr. Monty, the first echelon of 100,000 troops has assembled.
23:53The second echelon of 200,000 troops is assembling.
23:57Besides, 100,000 cavalry are ready.
23:59Tell all troops not to delay.
24:01Prepare the rations and head straight for the capital.
24:04Yes.
24:04Are you going to kill your father?
24:07Can you serve the throne?
24:09I am not rebelling.
24:11Nor am I killing my father.
24:12Then what are you doing?
24:14What do you want to do?
24:15I'm going to eliminate the treacherous officials.
24:18And restore order to Sumerian.
24:26Eliminating the treacherous officials?
24:27Who are you going to eliminate me?
24:31Of course, the treacherous hypocrite Mordecai.
24:36Aurelius, do you know what you are doing?
24:38If you kill me, you will be condemned by everyone under heaven.
24:42I'll kill whoever condemns me.
24:45In that way, no one in the world will dare condemn me again.
24:47I have spoiled you too much
24:49so that you are so unscrupulous
24:52by my decree.
24:54From this day forward,
24:56Aurelius won't be a prince.
24:58He will be demoted to a commoner.
25:01Seize this rebellious brat.
25:07What are you waiting for?
25:09Arrest him!
25:11Report!
25:13The army has surrounded the palace
25:14and is about to attack.
25:15Huh?
