Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sexton and I hate each other the most, as I separated him apart from Shara, and I resented his heart, forever belonged to another woman.
00:00:15As Grand Princess, you separated me apart from Shara, and forced me to marry you. Is this what you wanted?
00:00:22Well, Sexton, come back!
00:00:26Led Shara, he pined for married into the North for peace, and within a year, she chose to end her life.
00:00:33As she could no longer endure the torment, he believes the tragedy were orchestrated by me.
00:00:39For eight years thereafter, our most frequent exchange was this curse.
00:00:44May you meet a wretched end.
00:00:47Shara's death sparked war between two nations. Sexton defended our borders for years, but failed to turn the tide.
00:00:55On the day the city fell, Sexton strapped me to his war course.
00:01:00Move forward.
00:01:03Don't look back.
00:01:05Yet he...
00:01:06Sexton!
00:01:08He stood sword in hand, blocking the enemy.
00:01:12Fire the arrows.
00:01:17Sexton!
00:01:18No!
00:01:19Sexton!
00:01:20Sexton!
00:01:21Sexton!
00:01:22Sexton!
00:01:23Sexton!
00:01:24Sexton!
00:01:27Sexton!
00:01:28Sexton!
00:01:32Our worldly deaths...
00:01:34...are now settled.
00:01:36In the next life...
00:01:38...I beg your highness...
00:01:40...to let me be with her.
00:01:43Sexton!
00:01:44Sexton!
00:01:50Sexton!
00:01:57Sexton!
00:01:58I never imagined he would risk his life to save me, only for me to unite him with Shira in the next life.
00:02:07That very night, I leaped from the city tower to die for my country and for him.
00:02:15In the next life, I'll never cling to him.
00:02:28When I opened my eyes, I found myself back at the moment, begging my father to arrange our marriage.
00:02:37Zandra, Shonu invaders ravage our borders, repeatedly breaching our defenses.
00:02:42With crises at home and abroad, only a marriage alliance can save our country now.
00:02:46Do you insist on marrying Sexton at this juncture?
00:02:52Father, I won't marry him.
00:02:58I will marry you into the North.
00:03:05Princess Con.
00:03:06Sirius, are you going to abandon the engagement with Sexton?
00:03:10In my past life, Sexton died in battle.
00:03:12And the country fell, because Shira took her own life.
00:03:15Well, after the great pressure of her marriage, causing the wrath in the North if I undertake this marriage alliance, perhaps I can prevent history from repeating.
00:03:22I was immature and thoughtless, compared with personal attachments pale into insignificance.
00:03:28Let Shira, marry Joan Lupe.
00:03:31I'll take her place in the marriage alliance.
00:03:34The marriage alliance is no trivial affair.
00:03:38Once a move is made, there's no regret.
00:03:40Zandra, are you truly resolved?
00:03:45Father, I have made up my mind.
00:03:48Someone, revise the Imperial Edict.
00:03:58His eyes showed reluctance.
00:04:00But between Shira and me, he truly favors Shira, who is honey-lipped and coquettish.
00:04:06Had I not resisted in my past life, he would have forced me to take her place.
00:04:16That's why he agreed readily.
00:04:21It's him.
00:04:21Your Majesty, retract the decree and not to be Shira for the marriage alliance.
00:04:28Guards!
00:04:28Escort him away.
00:04:30In my past life, I ordered soldiers to forcibly bring Sexton into the chamber.
00:04:35Later, I compelled him into marriage.
00:04:38Just like before, he still pleads for Shira.
00:04:42Poor father.
00:04:43What brings you here?
00:04:53Sexton, have you considered if His Majesty retracts his Edict, I'll be sent to the North as bride.
00:05:02As the National Guard General, I shall never permit our country to sacrifice any princess for peace.
00:05:07Either Shira or I must go to the North.
00:05:14However long you knew, we won't alter this truth.
00:05:19As long as your Highness do not meddle with the Imperial will, this marriage alliance might be prevented.
00:05:30How pitiful.
00:05:32This time, I won't stop anything.
00:05:37Serious?
00:05:41What are you scheming now?
00:05:43Nothing.
00:05:44May your wishes come true.
00:05:51I never told him I've become the candidate for the alliance.
00:05:55He's suffered so much in the past life.
00:05:58Letting him endure a little longer.
00:06:00Won't hurt.
00:06:00On the wedding day.
00:06:03When seeing Shira as the bride instead of me, he'll only be happier.
00:06:08He used every means possible to keep him by my side.
00:06:13Yet even when he gave me his life, his heart had long since perished.
00:06:17Alongside Shira in the North.
00:06:19Dexton, as you nearly died, saving me last time.
00:06:23This time, I'm getting you something epic.
00:06:26Why did she leave so decisively?
00:06:30If it were before, she would have made a scene and asked guards to carry me away.
00:06:37What trick is she up to now?
00:06:38Harriet, Xiongnu, Lord of the North, is notoriously hostile to the Central Plains.
00:06:47In the past life.
00:06:48Shira didn't survive a year after marriage.
00:06:50The torment drove her to suicide, directly triggering war.
00:06:53Between two nations?
00:06:55If...
00:06:55I can stabilize, Harriet.
00:06:57Will the Joe...
00:06:58Avoid war?
00:06:59But how to ensure success?
00:07:14Why must you manipulate His Majesty to send Shira for the Alliance?
00:07:20Sexton, you're hurting me.
00:07:23Tell me!
00:07:24Tell me!
00:07:25General Pei, what are you doing?
00:07:26Get lost.
00:07:29Xandra, a jealous, vicious woman like you, who harms her own family, has no right to demand anyone's love.
00:07:38Do you truly believe obtaining a decreed marriage will make me submit?
00:07:44Remond.
00:07:46He is gritting with hatred.
00:07:49Like that we've confronted in our past life.
00:07:54General Pei, mind your position.
00:07:57I'm sorry, Your Highness.
00:08:07I was drunk.
00:08:10Marriage Alliance is a national policy.
00:08:13Shira will find her path.
00:08:15The outcome will be what you desire.
00:08:19No need for your concern.
00:08:20As long as Your Highness is here, she'll never find her path.
00:08:28Sexton.
00:08:29From beginning to end.
00:08:31You never considered my future.
00:08:35You may leave now.
00:08:41Rest assured, Sexton.
00:08:43Before long, the Alliance Edict will arrive.
00:08:47In our past life, you'd rather die than abandon Shira.
00:08:50In this lifetime, I won't cling to you.
00:08:52Your Highness, General Pei has sent over the special-made golden sore ointment.
00:08:57Shall I apply it for you now?
00:09:03This medicine was created for military personnel to stop bleeding.
00:09:07His care for me was out of gratitude for my mother's nurturing alone.
00:09:12To him, I'm just family.
00:09:15Yet I clung to him my whole life.
00:09:17It's time to let go.
00:09:19No need.
00:09:20Return it.
00:09:22Master.
00:09:23Why does Her Highness today seem utterly transformed?
00:09:31Zandra.
00:09:32What can I do for you?
00:09:33Father's Imperial Marriage Edict.
00:09:39Congratulations.
00:09:40A marriage alliance sending me to the Baron North is also an Imperial Marriage?
00:09:44How could you humiliate me like this?
00:09:47Why don't you look closely at what's written here?
00:09:49You've always wanted to marry Sexton, right?
00:10:09Why would you give him up so easily to me and even take my place in the Alliance?
00:10:14What's your real motive?
00:10:17No ulterior motives.
00:10:22But I have one condition.
00:10:25Oh?
00:10:27What condition?
00:10:29On your wedding day with General Pei, I'll depart for the Alliance.
00:10:35Until then, this arrangement must remain secret.
00:10:40If you obediently accept, you will marry General Pei.
00:10:45Fine.
00:10:50I agree.
00:10:53Consider this my repayment to Sexton for his past life-saving favor.
00:10:57This ends this life's entanglement.
00:10:59Mr. Zhang!
00:11:00But Sexton remains clueless and exhausts himself.
00:11:04Mr. Li!
00:11:05Negotiating against the Alliance.
00:11:06Mr. Li!
00:11:07Zandra, you're here to mock me.
00:11:19Know this?
00:11:20I'll never let Shira marry into the North.
00:11:23Nor will I marry you.
00:11:25Splendid.
00:11:27I'll wait and see.
00:11:29Sexton!
00:11:29Freed from the marriage burden, Shira's smiles grew noticeably brighter.
00:11:37Sexton, where's the wooden carving?
00:11:39You promised me?
00:11:43Here.
00:11:47You are so skillful.
00:11:49Do many girls beg you for carvings?
00:11:54Nonsense.
00:11:57I...
00:11:57Only carve for those I cherish.
00:12:04This carving craft was passed to Sexton from my mother.
00:12:13When she was alive, she carved trinkets to cheer me up.
00:12:19After her death, he continued the tradition for me.
00:12:26But since Shira appeared, he also carves for her instead of me alone.
00:12:31Sexton!
00:12:34Fuck, I love you.
00:12:37You carved for her again.
00:12:39I forbid you from carving for her.
00:12:41No carvings.
00:12:42They're all mine.
00:12:43Stop making hers.
00:12:44Enough.
00:12:45How long will you keep this up?
00:12:48Sexton!
00:12:49Have you forgotten?
00:12:51My mother was killed last Shira's mother?
00:12:54May I request another carving?
00:12:57Of course.
00:12:58What would you like?
00:12:59Then, a wooden sword.
00:13:03A wooden sword?
00:13:05That's what my mother often carved for me.
00:13:07Shira hates those things.
00:13:09She's only been broken.
00:13:10Why did she leave?
00:13:17Is she...
00:13:18Angry?
00:13:23Sexton, you loathe me so much.
00:13:25Rest assured.
00:13:27Three days from now, we'll never meet again.
00:13:29Your Highness, how strange.
00:13:37How strange so early in the morning who would place this wooden box at our entrance.
00:13:44I know...
00:13:45Sexton is the only one...
00:13:48who can do this.
00:13:51Naive.
00:13:56Your Highness, what about this sword?
00:13:58Never mind.
00:14:11Let it be the final gift he ever gives me in this lifetime.
00:14:15Your Highness.
00:14:17Will you abstain this year's Imperial Mid-Autumn Banquet as usual?
00:14:21No.
00:14:22I'm going.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:25This will be my last Mid-Autumn Banquet in my homeland.
00:14:33I want to see my country's moon one final time.
00:14:40After this festival, Shira will depart for distant lands.
00:14:46I can't comprehend how Xandra qualifies as a Grand Princess.
00:14:48She avoids crucial duties.
00:14:50Obsessed only with forcing general pay to marry her.
00:14:52Yet, Shira embodies true patriotism.
00:14:54Shira, after your departure, I'll miss you deeply.
00:14:59I'm a princess of the Joe.
00:15:01National stability comes first.
00:15:03If this alliance...
00:15:04...can bring peace between two nations...
00:15:07...personal sentiments...
00:15:08...are trivial sacrifices.
00:15:11Shira's vision is truly noble.
00:15:12Xandra won't even attend such a crucial banquet.
00:15:14Xandra won't even attend.
00:15:14Her priorities never align with state affairs.
00:15:18Who dares claim I wouldn't come?
00:15:22Moreover...
00:15:24...today...
00:15:24...my attendance...
00:15:26...isn't subject to your commentary.
00:15:31I've always avoided such events.
00:15:34I never attended previous Mid-Autumn Banquets.
00:15:36Shira anticipated this.
00:15:38Hence her Public Victim Act.
00:15:39What's Xandra implying?
00:15:41Does she scorn, Shira?
00:15:43Let her undertake the marriage alliance...
00:15:45...just because her mother died.
00:15:46She acts owed by the world.
00:15:49When the city fell last life...
00:15:51...their fates were equally pitiful.
00:15:55Better endure their gossip now...
00:15:57...than Whitney's national collapse.
00:15:58I know you took my alliance duty...
00:16:16...but this was your choice.
00:16:18I never forced you.
00:16:19After all, this burdensome task...
00:16:22...rightfully belonged to me.
00:16:24You stole what should have been my achievement.
00:16:26Is my remark at the banquet unreasonable?
00:16:31Achievement?
00:16:32You think your marriage will ensure stability?
00:16:38Shira.
00:16:39You're such a spineless person.
00:16:41Do you really think your marriage could last a year?
00:16:43You'll kill yourself.
00:16:45Worsening relations between both sides.
00:16:47And I'll clean up your mess.
00:16:48Stop trying to glorify yourself.
00:16:50You!
00:16:56George, why did you push me?
00:17:01Help!
00:17:09Hu!
00:17:10Hu!
00:17:11Sexton!
00:17:11Sexton, save me!
00:17:13Shira.
00:17:14Sexton!
00:17:15Save me!
00:17:16Sexton!
00:17:17Save me!
00:17:19Sixten
00:17:27I can't believe you're so heartless
00:17:30Trouble! Her Highness fell into the water
00:17:36Someone help!
00:17:37Your Highness! Quick!
00:17:39Go save Her Highness
00:17:40Have you lost your mind?
00:17:48If you kill her, what good would that do you?
00:17:50Could you take her Alliance duty?
00:17:52Sexton
00:17:53I...
00:17:54Enough! Stop pretending!
00:17:56I never imagined you could be so vicious and jealous
00:17:59You're unworthy of being a princess
00:18:01And a disgrace to the people
00:18:03Thankfully, your mother died early
00:18:05And never saw you in this repulsive state
00:18:08Sexton!
00:18:13The same situation as our past life
00:18:15In eight years of marriage
00:18:17We were fought against each other many times
00:18:18Because of Cheryl
00:18:19But never we would strike
00:18:20However, this time my strike will finally land
00:18:25Cheryl!
00:18:34Sandra!
00:18:42What's wrong with you?
00:18:45Sexton
00:18:46Don't mention my mother
00:18:48Sandra!
00:18:51Sandra!
00:18:51Sandra!
00:19:00Sexton!
00:19:01You're about to leave for the Alliance
00:19:05Why are you still clinging to Sexton?
00:19:13In my past life, Sexton never visited me at the Princess Manor
00:19:21Why brings you here?
00:19:22Sorry
00:19:23I lost my temper for a moment
00:19:25Sexton
00:19:29No need for apologies between us
00:19:31You're about to leave for the Alliance
00:19:39Fesshings... soon you'll be free.
00:19:53When I depart for the Alliance, you'll soon marry your own love in life times.
00:19:58By then... you'll never see me.
00:20:09Your Highness, what are you looking for?
00:20:15Where's my jewelry box?
00:20:20Don't tell me.
00:20:27Shira.
00:20:33Zandra, I'm leaving soon.
00:20:35I never had play with these trinkets.
00:20:37Please stop being angry.
00:20:38All right?
00:20:39Are you serious?
00:20:48Just wooden swords.
00:20:50Sexton, you took my wooden swords.
00:20:56I hid Mother's wooden swords somewhere only Sexton knew.
00:21:00You orchestrated Shira's alliance, right?
00:21:02You've ruined her entire life.
00:21:04Doesn't that outweigh some worthless wood?
00:21:07Worthless wood?
00:21:08My mother carved them for me.
00:21:12My mother carved them for me.
00:21:12Thought he was so poor.
00:21:15This scene just mirrors our past life.
00:21:45We were always at each other's throats, hurling the vilest curses to hurt each other.
00:21:50Stop.
00:22:05But in our past life, we never truly harmed each other.
00:22:10She's actually holding a wooden sword, the very one I gave her.
00:22:15Zandra, why didn't you dodge?
00:22:20You were so good at dodging before...
00:22:23Before.
00:22:24When did she and I ever share before?
00:22:27Zandra.
00:22:28Zandra.
00:22:28From that day onward, Sexton remained outside my chamber for two days and nights.
00:22:43Until the eve of the Alliance.
00:22:46I never once opened the door to him.
00:22:48Zandra.
00:22:56I will marry you.
00:22:59To make up for that strike this life...
00:23:03I swear, by my family's glory...
00:23:08Sexton doesn't know.
00:23:11I'll take Shira's Alliance duty tomorrow.
00:23:14The one he's meant to marry...
00:23:16is Shira.
00:23:17I didn't allow anyone to accompany me.
00:23:26Not even Tess.
00:23:28If anyone's going to suffer in the North, it should be me alone.
00:23:33I'm not dragging anyone else into this.
00:23:35Today is also the day...
00:23:54Sexton marries Shira.
00:23:56By now.
00:23:57He must have received the surprise.
00:23:59I prepared for him.
00:24:04Sexton.
00:24:05What is he doing here?
00:24:10Shira.
00:24:12Let me escort you.
00:24:15Do you resent me for marrying Zandra?
00:24:18So he thought I was Shira.
00:24:21He's been waiting here.
00:24:23Still has no idea what's coming.
00:24:26But this is what I owe her.
00:24:29I'm sorry.
00:24:31I couldn't stop the marriage, Aliente.
00:24:33However, if you regret it, tell me I can make you disappear without a trace.
00:24:40Is this what you wanted?
00:24:44Sexton!
00:24:45Come back!
00:24:46Thank you, Your Highness, to let me be with you.
00:24:59Sexton.
00:25:00If I realize our bonding with last life, it would have never reached the wind scattered in.
00:25:08In this life, I'll release you from this suffering.
00:25:11We shall never meet again.
00:25:12I won't know.
00:25:13I'll do it.
00:25:14I'll do it.
00:25:27What did it do?
00:25:28I'll do it.
00:25:28If I had tried harder, she might not have had to enter the alliance.
00:25:29Shara is acting strange today. She refused everyone's offer to escort her and wouldn't say to me.
00:25:38If I had tried harder, she might not have had to enter the Alliance. She must resent me.
00:25:44But what else can I do? I promised Xandra. I made a vow. I can't break it.
00:25:59In this lifetime, I'm afraid Shara and I can't grow old together.
00:26:15Shara.
00:26:29Sexton.
00:26:31Shara, why are you...
00:26:33I don't know why either. Yesterday, His Majesty changed his mind and substituted Xandra for the Alliance.
00:26:39What did you say? Xandra is sent for the Alliance.
00:26:42So, the woman traveling into the desert alone is...
00:26:47Zandra.
00:26:56I'm sorry.
00:26:58I couldn't stop the marriage, Aliente.
00:27:01However, if you regret it, tell me.
00:27:04I can make you disappear without a trace.
00:27:12Shira.
00:27:18Shira.
00:27:19Shira.
00:27:21Shira.
00:27:28Dexton, where are you going?
00:27:35Zandra.
00:27:42Harriet, Lord of the North, Harper's extreme hatred toward those from the Central Plains.
00:27:52So I must stabilize him as soon as possible.
00:27:54Even if I can't make him coexist peacefully with our country at least, I must buy as much time as possible.
00:28:12You from the Central Plains.
00:28:33Do you have some tricks up your sleeve?
00:28:35Seeing this young lord radiating pure murderous intent, I somewhat understand why Shera would commit suicide after staying here for a year.
00:28:44To show our goodwill, we proposed a marriage alliance. Why act this way?
00:28:49We don't need fragile women. Better than letting you suffer later.
00:28:56I'll take initiative. How do you from the Central Plains address your husband?
00:29:01Uh, as your dear... I'll send you off.
00:29:08Life.
00:29:14You from the...
00:29:15Sexton.
00:29:18Before Harriet, whose martial spirit Sexton is the only Joe's commander worthy of his respect.
00:29:25In the past life, when all other generals have to retreat upon encountering him only, Sexton clashed evenly with him.
00:29:32Now, I must take a gamble.
00:29:35Our general Sexton has married my sister, the woman he loves most.
00:29:40He's desperate to earn military glory, to honor her.
00:29:43He dreams daily of claiming your head as trophy to return triumphant.
00:29:46You think his ambitions died, with our marriage?
00:29:49He wants me dead here, so he can demand my father's permission to crush you, barbarian.
00:29:55You dare call me barbarian to my face?
00:29:58The last envoy who insulted me has his skull bleaching on our ramparts.
00:30:06The last envoy who insulted me has his skull bleaching on our ramparts.
00:30:11Never mind.
00:30:15If I die here, he will avenge me.
00:30:19You're certain of victory today.
00:30:22Then strike.
00:30:29You've got some spine.
00:30:30Much better than those previous princesses.
00:30:33We've sent over a dozen princesses for marriage alliances.
00:30:41Harriet wasn't yet the lord.
00:30:42Those who married them might have been even crueler.
00:30:45Would their torment be harder than mine?
00:30:48This is only the first day of the days to come.
00:30:51We'll likely be tougher.
00:30:56The last envoy.
00:30:57Harriet spared me.
00:30:59So I thought he wouldn't come after me again.
00:31:01But I didn't expect he named me in the hunt, ordering me to follow him.
00:31:05For someone with such deep hatred toward those from the Central Plains.
00:31:08It's surprising he brought me along for such outings with favorite concerts.
00:31:12As a princess from the Central Plains, you can't even ride a horse properly.
00:31:18Then again, he only has people who was forced upon him.
00:31:22Aside from me, he has no other choice.
00:31:25Hurry up and follow him.
00:31:31Where are you?
00:31:40Where are you?
00:31:48Hi, there's a tiger.
00:31:55Khan.
00:31:56Are you really going to kill her?
00:31:57I remember on your wedding night, you spared her.
00:31:59Spared someone from the Central Plains?
00:32:01No way.
00:32:02But killing her myself will make the Joe go ballistic.
00:32:09Sexton is respectable.
00:32:11To deal with him, we need preparation time.
00:32:14If she is killed by a tiger, it will have nothing to do with us.
00:32:18That cowardly Joe Emperor will turn a blind eye.
00:32:21Thus, we'll have ample time to prepare against Sexton.
00:32:23Take your clothes at her.
00:32:26And turns out she's vibrant and beautiful.
00:32:29What a pity she was born in the wrong era and stepped into the wrong world.
00:32:32She was doomed to be a pawn.
00:32:35Remember to collect her body later.
00:32:37Yes, Khan.
00:32:39Khan, something is off.
00:32:41She soaked the arrow in alcohol and lit it.
00:32:50Khan, something is off.
00:32:53She soaked the arrow in alcohol and lit it.
00:32:55She actually killed a tiger alone.
00:33:22Indeed, hadn't I seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.
00:33:27So does she have extraordinary ability?
00:33:30Khan, should we eliminate her when she is weak?
00:33:35Khan, something is off.
00:33:36Should we take advantage of her weakness and eliminate him?
00:33:38Yes, Khan, you disguise it as being killed by a tiger.
00:33:44It's nothing serious.
00:33:47Retreat.
00:33:50What's wrong with the Khan today?
00:33:51He actually let go of this woman from the central plains.
00:33:53Shh, keep it down.
00:33:57Cha!
00:33:58Cha!
00:33:58I didn't tell Harriet about my encounter with the tiger.
00:34:05Because I understand perfectly well the hidden complexities in this situation.
00:34:09But I never expected that very night.
00:34:11He would take the initiative to visit my room.
00:34:17Ha!
00:34:18Ha!
00:34:18Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:19Ha!
00:34:20Ha!
00:34:20Ha!
00:34:20Ha!
00:34:20Ha!
00:34:20Ha!
00:34:21Ha!
00:34:22Ha!
00:34:23Ha!
00:34:24Ha!
00:34:24Ha!
00:34:25Ha!
00:34:26Ha!
00:34:27Ha!
00:34:28Ha!
00:34:29Ha!
00:34:30Ha!
00:34:31Ha!
00:34:32Ha!
00:34:33Ha!
00:34:34Ha! Ha!
00:34:34Ha! Ha! Ha!
00:34:35Ha!
00:34:37So soon you think the women of the central plains will have such luminous skin.
00:34:42I guess not everyone from the central plains is so bad.
00:34:46Who's there?
00:34:52What's wrong?
00:34:53Still want to kill me?
00:34:55Ha!
00:34:56Ha!
00:34:57Ha!
00:34:58Ha!
00:34:59Ha!
00:35:00Ha!
00:35:01Ha!
00:35:02Ha!
00:35:03Ha!
00:35:04Ha!
00:35:08Ha!
00:35:08Ha!
00:35:09Ha!
00:35:10What are you doing?
00:35:11Ha!
00:35:16Ha!
00:35:17Ha!
00:35:18I'll be sleeping here.
00:35:24What's wrong?
00:35:25After marriage, you, Central Plains, people will still sleep in separate rooms.
00:35:48What exactly does Harriet want to do?
00:36:08Get dressed.
00:36:10Today I'm taking you somewhere.
00:36:12Where to?
00:36:18This is my mother.
00:36:41This is my mother.
00:36:48She's the Imperial Consort.
00:36:50Harriet actually brought me to meet his mother, the Imperial Consort.
00:36:53Mother.
00:36:55I am married.
00:36:57You can rest assured now.
00:36:59In any case.
00:37:05First, we need to stabilize his mood.
00:37:07It definitely cannot be wrong.
00:37:09The weather is nice today.
00:37:22Let me show you around.
00:37:24Let me show you around.
00:37:31The weather is nice today.
00:37:35I'll show you around.
00:37:36Joel, who taught you horsemanship?
00:37:37Sexton.
00:37:38Sexton.
00:37:39He is the adult son of my late mother.
00:37:40We grew up as close as siblings.
00:37:41I'm married into the North.
00:37:42It's natural for my brother to worry.
00:37:43There's no need to overthink it, Kyle.
00:37:56From now on, I'll teach you myself.
00:37:58That's why I can't do it.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:00I will take you away.
00:38:01I'm married into the North.
00:38:02We grew up as close as siblings. I married into the north. It's natural for my brother to worry. There's no need to overthink it, Khan.
00:38:08From now on, I'll teach you myself.
00:38:32The weather is nice.
00:38:42Harriet, I want to ride a horse on my own.
00:39:02Harriet, let's have a competition.
00:39:04What are we competing in?
00:39:05We'll compete by who can shoot more wild beasts.
00:39:07Let's form a team, you and me together.
00:39:08Fine by me.
00:39:10Let's begin.
00:39:11Yes!
00:39:28Yeah! We've won!
00:39:32Yeah!
00:39:34Yeah!
00:39:36Yeah!
00:39:37Yeah!
00:39:38Yeah!
00:39:39Yeah!
00:39:40Yeah!
00:39:41Yeah!
00:39:42Yeah!
00:39:43Yeah!
00:39:44Yeah!
00:39:45Yeah!
00:39:46Yeah!
00:39:47Yeah!
00:39:48Yeah!
00:39:49Yeah!
00:39:50Yeah!
00:39:51Yeah!
00:39:52Yeah!
00:39:53He said he detests people from the central planes the most especially delicate little.
00:39:57I had a wonderful time today.
00:40:02It's getting late.
00:40:04Let's head back.
00:40:12Let's go!
00:40:13Yes!
00:40:14Is the Khan not planning to?
00:40:15Have you made a move against that little princess?
00:40:16She's no delicate princess.
00:40:19She's the most vibrant Kazang flower.
00:40:22On the desert!
00:40:23Come!
00:40:24So this means I've successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks.
00:40:33Harriet stays in my room every night.
00:40:35But he never actually touches me.
00:40:36As time goes by, I gradually get used to falling asleep beside him.
00:40:41I can tell he doesn't hate me as much as before.
00:40:43However, his tolerance only applies to me as a central planes person.
00:40:44It's just slightly better.
00:40:45He's still that Harriet who despises central planes people.
00:40:46Here.
00:40:47There's a letter for you.
00:40:48Here.
00:40:49There's a letter for you.
00:41:20The handwriting looks familiar.
00:41:21It's excellent.
00:41:22I think I'm here.
00:41:23Where are you headed, madam?
00:41:24I want to go out and have a look.
00:41:28Is that...true?
00:41:32If you don't approve, I won't go.
00:41:48When will you return?
00:41:51I don't know if I'll ever come back.
00:41:54When the sword's shadow turns this way, I will return.
00:42:06I don't know if Harriet truly bought it.
00:42:19General Pei.
00:42:21General Pei.
00:42:22This is the most unfamiliar way Xandra has ever addressed me.
00:42:25Xandra.
00:42:28Come home with me.
00:42:30General, are you trying to start a war between two nations?
00:42:32The princess sent for marriage alliance, being taken back shortly after arrival.
00:42:36Harriet will never let this go.
00:42:38I absolutely cannot allow Harriet's cavalry forces to set foot into the central plains.
00:42:42After Shara's death in Macrula's life, Saxon defended the jaw for seven years.
00:42:46In this life, without rebuilding, he might truly have the capability to block the northern forces.
00:42:50But every war comes at a cost.
00:42:53Ultimately borne by the common people.
00:42:55Moreover, such to me isn't invincible either.
00:42:59General Pei, you needn't worry.
00:43:01As long as I'm here, there will be no warfare at the border.
00:43:04General Pei should return to accompany his wife.
00:43:06I didn't marry her.
00:43:08What did you say?
00:43:08What are you talking about?
00:43:14I said...
00:43:15I didn't marry Shara.
00:43:20You should leave now, General.
00:43:22Xandra.
00:43:23If you went to the north just for my sake, I want you to come back.
00:43:28I'll do everything in my power.
00:43:30To protect you.
00:43:31You're overthinking, General.
00:43:34Didn't you say?
00:43:36Am I unworthy of being a princess?
00:43:37I just wanted to prove myself.
00:43:42Enough!
00:43:43Stop pretending!
00:43:44Never imagined!
00:43:46You could be this vicious and jealous.
00:43:48You're unworthy of your title.
00:43:50You've failed your people.
00:43:51Thank goodness your mother died early.
00:43:52She never saw you.
00:43:55Become this despicable creature.
00:43:57Sexton.
00:43:57Zandra.
00:44:03That's not what I meant.
00:44:05I just lost my tempo.
00:44:06Enough, Sexton.
00:44:09Since I've accepted this princess title, I accept my fate.
00:44:13This is my own choice.
00:44:15It has nothing to do with you.
00:44:19When are you, General?
00:44:20Don't flatter yourself.
00:44:23Sexton.
00:44:25I will do everything in my power, too.
00:44:27Delay Harriet.
00:44:29As long as I'm here, I won't let Harriet set foot in the central place.
00:44:33If I fail, I will give my life for our nation.
00:44:37One more thing.
00:44:38This will be our final meeting.
00:44:39Sexton.
00:44:51Sexton.
00:44:52In this lifetime, I wish you a house full of descendants.
00:44:56Unblessed longevity.
00:45:01Zandra!
00:45:01Zandra used her status as the grand princess
00:45:19Separate me from Shira
00:45:21Force me to marry you
00:45:23Is this what you wanted?
00:45:26What's going on?
00:45:28Why do I have an extra memory?
00:45:29When did I brought up with Zandra?
00:45:32Such a scene?
00:45:35It's been a day and a night, Khan
00:45:36The grand princess must have followed that pay guy and run away
00:45:39Exactly!
00:45:40She deceived the Khan
00:45:41She might have even taken our secrets
00:45:43Khan, give me a thousand troops
00:45:48I'll go take those two's heads for you
00:45:50Enough!
00:45:55I'm also getting a bad feeling
00:45:57But I don't want to hurt her again
00:46:01Forget it
00:46:02Harriet!
00:46:05Harriet!
00:46:09Harriet
00:46:09Sandra!
00:46:14How unimaginable you managed to wear that heavy armor for three days straight
00:46:30A battle for a warrior
00:46:31Even now, your arms are going to adjust
00:46:33Khan, your strength is weak
00:46:38Small
00:46:39Khan Khan, spare me
00:46:47Spare me
00:46:48I was wrong
00:46:49The Khan is the mightiest
00:46:50Your strength hasn't diminished at all
00:46:52Harriet
00:46:55I vowed to stand by the grand through all our shared days and nights
00:47:04As one heart and soul entwined forever
00:47:06Harriet
00:47:07Where did you learn these poetic?
00:47:10Grand princess
00:47:11Do you like it?
00:47:14Yes I do
00:47:15Brother Sexton, you finally returned
00:47:23Shera E
00:47:25Brother Sexton
00:47:26Where have you been all this time?
00:47:28Why did you abandon me on our wedding night
00:47:30Leaving me utterly alone
00:47:31Turning me into the capital's greatest mockery
00:47:33Shera
00:47:35I've wronged you deeply
00:47:36Tomorrow
00:47:37I'll confess my quilt before his majesty
00:47:39It doesn't matter
00:47:40Your return is all that matters
00:47:42Shera
00:47:44I cannot marry you
00:47:46Is it because of Zandra?
00:47:52As the great general of the Zhou
00:47:54I should protect the safety of all Zhou citizens
00:47:57I can't let the grand princess go to the north alone for the marriage alliance
00:48:00Shera
00:48:01Before I bring Zandra back
00:48:03I cannot
00:48:05Indulge in personal relationships anymore
00:48:07Isn't this conclusion
00:48:09The most satisfactory outcome for all
00:48:10Zandra is going to the Shionmu for the marriage alliance
00:48:12Peace will reign across the land
00:48:14We'll finally be united as lovers
00:48:15No one will ever tear us apart again
00:48:18Why are you doing this?
00:48:36Shira
00:48:37Didn't you always love the wooden sword I made?
00:48:42Brother Sexton
00:48:43Wait
00:48:43Since you like it
00:48:49Why don't you cherish it?
00:48:50No, Brother Sexton
00:48:51I was just too anxious for a
00:48:53I accidentally broke the small wooden sword
00:48:54How could I not like it?
00:48:56Since you like it
00:48:57Why don't you cherish it?
00:48:58If you truly cherished it
00:48:59You'd follow your royal sisters
00:49:01Stop it
00:49:12Sure, I never liked any small wooden sword
00:49:25I've been blind all along
00:49:27I've been blind all along
00:49:29To Zelda
00:49:29General
00:49:31Who is he?
00:49:38General
00:49:39The matter you ask me to investigate
00:49:40I found out the truth
00:49:41Speak for yourself
00:49:43Sexton General Pei
00:49:45On the night of the mid-autumn festival
00:49:47I was present there too
00:49:48I witnessed with my own eyes
00:49:49It was the second princess who personally pulled
00:49:51Snow, he's lying!
00:49:57If you dare speak one word
00:49:58That's false!
00:50:00Watch your head
00:50:00I swear on my life
00:50:03It's absolutely true
00:50:04Shira
00:50:06Is what he said true?
00:50:11Yes
00:50:11So what if I did?
00:50:15I should have been the one sent for the marriage alliance
00:50:17My royal sister stole
00:50:18The glory that rightfully belonged to me
00:50:20Now she even wants to steal you, Brother Sexton
00:50:22I just couldn't swallow my anger
00:50:24And taught her a lesson
00:50:25What's wrong?
00:50:30General Pei
00:50:31How could you become like this?
00:50:36The one who hated Xandra from the beginning
00:50:38It was you
00:50:39You abandoned me on our wedding day
00:50:41And it was still you
00:50:42Who went looking for Xandra
00:50:43What position are you taking now to accuse me?
00:50:48Sexton
00:50:48Don't you realize how hypocritical you're being?
00:50:52Or perhaps
00:50:53You want to have it both ways?
00:51:00Don't talk nonsense
00:51:01Am I really talking nonsense?
00:51:04Sexton?
00:51:05You know the truth in your heart?
00:51:10Could Shira's words actually be true?
00:51:12Person I truly love
00:51:13He's actually Xandra
00:51:15General, what should we do now?
00:51:18No matter what
00:51:19This time
00:51:21I will bring Xandra back
00:51:22Shira
00:51:26Harriet has been kind to me
00:51:28But he remains the Lord of the North
00:51:29Who despises the Central Plains
00:51:31I don't dare interfere with his strategic decisions against the Joe
00:51:34I fear ruining this hard-won truce
00:51:36And jeopardizing everything
00:51:37Khan
00:51:38A group from the Central Plains has arrived
00:51:42Their leader claims to be General Pei of the Joe

00:54:11general pay
00:54:12i wasn't speaking out of anger
00:54:14the marriage alliance is the war between our two nations
00:54:16how could you treat this as a game for your personal reasons
00:54:18how could you treat this as a challenge for personal games
00:54:22zandra this isn't about personal interest
00:54:26as the grand general of the joe i would never let our princess be traded for peace

00:55:05what games do you usually play
00:55:07we play arrow tossing
00:55:09football kicking and archery
00:55:12but central plains men value both military and literary prowess
00:55:15if we keep wielding weapons after leaving the battlefield
00:55:18that's considered barbarous
00:55:22how could you treat this
00:55:26if you put down your weapons after leaving the battlefield
00:55:28continue to wield swords and spears
00:55:30that is barbarism
00:55:32since general pay said wielding swords and spears is barbarism
00:55:38then i wonder if you dare to compete with me

00:58:23general pay excels in both strategy and combat
00:58:26worthy of being joe's finest warrior
00:58:28is sexton out of his mind
00:58:30how dare he write such provocative words in the lord of the north's territory

00:59:12who knew the lord of the north possessed such remarkable erudition
00:59:14this verse alone could endure through the ages
00:59:17the lord of the north calligraphy radiates intensity
00:59:19slender yet retaining substance brimming with unyielding spirit

01:00:11Oh, Sexton, Sexton, you were the one who didn't cherish me back then.
01:00:16And now you can't stand me again.
01:00:27You truly deserve.
01:00:34Go and kill Xandra for me.
01:00:37Under no circumstances can she be allowed to return to the dome.
01:00:39This matter, only success is permitted.
01:00:42Failure is not allowed.
01:00:44Understood.
01:00:52The task is Majesty entrusted to me.
01:00:54I've completed it.
01:00:56Will you come with me?
01:01:02Xandra, won't you really come back to the dome with me?
01:01:05This is your last chance, I promise you.
01:01:07As long as you're willing to return,
01:01:09even if it means death.
01:01:11I'll protect you with my life.
01:01:16That won't be necessary, General Pei.
01:01:19You may leave now.
01:01:24Xandra.
01:01:25General Pei's mission here.
01:01:27If you're worried about your safety, why don't I send some guards to protect you?
01:01:34Why don't I assign some guards to protect you?
01:01:38No need.
01:01:39Period.
01:01:39I wish to escort General Pei on his journey.
01:01:49I'll be waiting for your return.
01:01:52All right.
01:01:55General Pei, I must trouble you during the journey to take care of Xandra.
01:01:59On my behalf.
01:02:00It is my sole responsibility.
01:02:04No need for the con to offer special reminders.
01:02:07General Pei.
01:02:13Let's go.
01:02:14Return swiftly.
01:02:15Xandra agreed to see me off.
01:02:17Does this mean you're coming back with me?
01:02:26Assassins.
01:02:32After them, go after them!
01:02:38Sexton, what's going on?
01:02:40Sexton.
01:02:45Sexton.
01:02:46Why don't I assign some...
01:02:53Sexton!
01:02:54Sexton!
01:03:00Sexton, what are you doing?
01:03:04Sexton!
01:03:07Open fire!
01:03:14No!
01:03:14I can't let the tragedies of my past life repeat themselves.
01:03:19Xandra!
01:03:20Go now!
01:03:21Stop talking!
01:03:22Hurry up and go!
01:03:23If anything happens to you, the Joe will lose a pillar of the state.
01:03:31General Pei, hold on.
01:03:32The bleeding will stop soon.
01:03:33Please bear with it a little longer.
01:03:35Don't move around.
01:03:36Don't move around.
01:03:37Your wound might reopen.
01:03:39Princess.
01:03:40Don't panic.
01:03:42General Pei, everything will be fine.
01:03:45General Pei, stay with General Pei.
01:03:51Sexton!
01:03:52General Pei, you mustn't move.
01:03:55General, you must endure this.
01:03:57No!
01:03:59Ah!
01:04:00Sexton.
01:04:03Sexton!
01:04:03The military medic!
01:04:05How is he?
01:04:07Is his injury serious?
01:04:08It was perilous, but ultimately safe.
01:04:10The injury nearly reached his heart.
01:04:13Never expected it.
01:04:14Even though in his previous life he swore an oath with his life, this life, yet he still saved me again.
01:04:26Zandra! Zandra! Zandra! Zandra! Zandra! Zandra! Zandra!
01:04:38You're awake!
01:04:41Zandra...
01:04:45You're drenched in sweat. Dry yourself off.
01:04:47I had a long... Endless dream.
01:04:54I dreamed we got married. We argued every day.
01:05:00But I always let you in.
01:05:03And one day, the city walls fell.
01:05:07the city walls fell i barely managed to send you away
01:05:13yet you came back

01:06:51zandra
01:06:52zandra
01:07:04Heriot.
01:07:20Lady.
01:07:30What brings you here?
01:07:32Are you so afraid I'll run away?
01:07:35I am.
01:07:36I'm terrified to death.
01:07:43Okay.
01:07:45Then take me home.
01:07:48Okay.
01:07:50I'll take you home.
01:08:00Father!
01:08:00I'll take you home.
01:08:02I'll take you home.
01:08:04I'll take you home.
01:08:05Harriet didn't lie to me.
01:08:07He truly never remarried in his lifetime.
01:08:09He lived until his 80th birthday.
01:08:11He passed away peacefully.
01:08:12But he started to end.
01:08:14It was only me, his wife.
01:08:17Throughout his life,
01:08:18he truly never set foot on the lands of the Central Plains again.
01:08:21I'm eternally fortunate to have met your highness the princess.
01:08:37If there's an afterlife,
01:08:45may we meet earlier,
01:08:47to cross paths,
01:08:48and see each other again.
01:08:49I escorted Harriet on his final journey.
01:09:05In this foreign land.
01:09:07The only person I cared about is gone.
01:09:12Leaving me alone in this vast emptiness.
01:09:16I guard the longboat.
01:09:18He used during our horseback archery that year.
01:09:19This old minister, Sexton,
01:09:38is at your highness's service.
01:09:41Let's return home.
01:09:42For 50 years in the north,
01:09:53it's time for me to return home.
01:09:55The longbow left to me.
01:09:58He passed away in the homeland.
01:10:00Sexton never married in his lifetime.
01:10:02After arranging with you,
01:10:03not long after,
01:10:05he departed with me.
01:10:06Xenстве all happen.
01:10:10Xenстве all have long gone.
01:10:16Yenießen!
01:10:25Xen Apu.
01:10:31Xenному zi.
