00:00:01Your Majesty, the Chancellor and the Prince request you to return to Zorin and take charge.
00:00:05Take charge, huh? Isn't he already the heir?
00:00:08If he can, back him. If not, then the throne is his.
00:00:12Go back now. Don't look for me again.
00:00:22Understood.
00:00:34Sir!
00:00:39I'm in danger. Help me!
00:00:44Follow me.
00:00:58Search for her! She's been drugged! She won't get far! Move!
00:01:03Miss, you're safe now. You can get off the boat.
00:01:08Sir...
00:01:09What's wrong?
00:01:11It's so hot, sir.
00:01:14Help me. Help me.
00:01:16Miss, you...
00:01:17Hey, what are you...
00:01:18Are you okay?
00:01:21Huh?
00:01:40lost in the room.
00:01:56Last night...
00:01:57Wait here, I can't help you.
00:02:02You really don't...
00:02:02No для себя.
00:02:04Thank you for saving me.
00:02:06What do you want?
00:02:07Don't worry about it.
00:02:08You can't give what I want.
00:02:10Can I give it?
00:02:12Do you even know who I am?
00:02:14Queen of Pharrell.
00:02:16Elara Pharrell.
00:02:17How do you know that?
00:02:20You dropped this last night.
00:02:25Strange.
00:02:25He knows who I am, yet he's still so calm.
00:02:28Others would be kneeling by now.
00:02:31And there's something about his aura.
00:02:34Sir, are you really just a commoner?
00:02:36What's wrong with being a commoner?
00:02:38I'm okay and free.
00:02:41That's true.
00:02:42Even though I'm a queen, I'm still hunted by dangerous rebel troops and nearly lost my life.
00:02:47I think I'd be better off as a commoner.
00:02:48At least, I wouldn't live in constant fear.
00:02:53In Pharrell, what you like as a leader ascends the throne.
00:02:56You should watch over the officials.
00:02:58Without central power, of course, rebellions break out easily.
00:03:02You think I haven't tried?
00:03:03I set up the Royal Guard Bureau before, but results were poor.
00:03:07How could it have worked?
00:03:08Your bureau was filled with sons of noble houses.
00:03:12They weren't loyal to you and only boosted the noble's power.
00:03:16My advice?
00:03:16Rebuild the Royal Guard.
00:03:18As for who should command it, pick someone of humble birth with no strong backing but with real talent and
00:03:24skill.
00:03:24And who is only loyal to you.
00:03:30Sir.
00:03:31Hmm?
00:03:32Are you really just a fish seller?
00:03:35What else?
00:03:38Your majesty!
00:03:39We finally found you!
00:03:41The rebellion's crushed!
00:03:42You can return now and take charge again!
00:03:47Why are you looking at me?
00:03:49You should hurry back.
00:03:50Restore the Royal Guard Bureau.
00:03:52Yes.
00:03:55Sir, I want to know.
00:03:56What is your name?
00:03:59Julian Zoran.
00:04:05From now on, I, Queen of Varel, will follow the Zoran Empire and restore the Royal Guard Bureau to hunt
00:04:12the traitors down.
00:04:13And my candidate for the Royal Guard commander.
00:04:17Commander of the Royal Guard Bureau.
00:04:22Top scholar Adrian Zoran, who was born poor, is talented and very young.
00:04:27Isn't this the kind of person that's perfect for the job?
00:04:30Adrian.
00:04:34Your majesty.
00:04:36The position will be temporarily filled by the scholar Adrian Zoran.
00:04:41What did she just say?
00:04:43What did she just say?
00:04:46Me?
00:04:48Adrian.
00:04:49I am entrusting this position to you.
00:04:52And you must ensure...
00:04:54Your majesty.
00:04:55Your majesty.
00:04:56Absolutely not.
00:04:58You don't want it.
00:05:00I lack the knowledge for this.
00:05:03I can't take this position.
00:05:04Adrian stays here.
00:05:06Court is dismissed.
00:05:09Long live, your majesty.
00:05:11Long live, your majesty.
00:05:40And bear in mind that being the commander of the Royal Guard Bureau is powerful.
00:05:48It's perfect for someone to show off their skills.
00:05:51Others would kill for this position.
00:05:53So why are you turning it down?
00:05:54What do you mean it's a powerful post?
00:05:56The court is dominated by the noble houses.
00:05:58Someone like me with no background will drop dead if I oppose them.
00:06:02Adrian?
00:06:03Your majesty.
00:06:04It's just that I'm not very skilled.
00:06:06I have no strong ties.
00:06:08I truly cannot bear this burden.
00:06:10And besides, my mother died young.
00:06:11Also, my father cannot live on his own.
00:06:13He's waiting for me to take care of him in his old age.
00:06:16Your majesty.
00:06:17You should pick someone more capable.
00:06:19Why are you this frightened?
00:06:20You've no backbone as a scholar.
00:06:22Is this how you were raised?
00:06:23My dad is even more timid than me.
00:06:27Like father, like son.
00:06:28Who cares?
00:06:29I was taught by a great master.
00:06:30And you are the best candidate for this position, understand?
00:06:33If you say no, I'll kill your dad.
00:06:38I shall accept.
00:06:41What kind of master is that?
00:06:43They're going to get me killed for sure.
00:06:50So he's the new top scholar?
00:06:52He's quite handsome and very charming.
00:06:54You're way too kind.
00:06:56The top scholar just smiled at me.
00:07:02Hey, look.
00:07:03He's the new top scholar.
00:07:04He has such presence and poise.
00:07:07He's impressive.
00:07:08You can tell he's born to be a high official.
00:07:10What's great about an office, you brat?
00:07:12Old Zoo.
00:07:13Hey, you can't talk like that here.
00:07:14He's the top scholar of the realm.
00:07:16How can you call him a brat?
00:07:18That person there is my son.
00:07:19So I'll call him whatever I want.
00:07:21Huh?
00:07:22Yeah, sure.
00:07:23So the top scholar is your son, you say?
00:07:26You might as well say that the reigning queen is also your wife.
00:07:30You might as well say that our reigning queen is also your wife.
00:07:34Huh?
00:07:35Yeah, old Joe.
00:07:36Aside from your good looks, you're just like us.
00:07:39Just a stinky fishmonger.
00:07:40The bottom of the barrel.
00:07:41That's right.
00:07:42What nonsense are you two talking about, huh?
00:07:45Have some respect.
00:07:45It's important to know your value, you know?
00:07:47Oh, is that so?
00:07:48I mean, we all have one head on two shoulders.
00:07:50Why should we fear anyone?
00:07:52Yeah, yeah.
00:07:53Stop bragging.
00:07:54Hey, Silas.
00:07:55Come over here.
00:07:55Come.
00:07:56Look at this.
00:07:56I caught it this morning when I went fishing.
00:07:58Look.
00:08:00So how's your mother doing?
00:08:02Stop.
00:08:03Here, take it.
00:08:05Tell her I said hi.
00:08:10Dad.
00:08:11Dad?
00:08:12Oh, hey there, son.
00:08:14That robe looks good.
00:08:15So festive.
00:08:16Hey, Dad.
00:08:17Huh?
00:08:17Are you selling fish?
00:08:18You should just move to the capital to enjoy your life.
00:08:22Eh, go if you want.
00:08:23But I won't go.
00:08:24I'm happy selling fish here.
00:08:25Hey, hey, old Zoom.
00:08:26Huh?
00:08:27Is that man really your son?
00:08:28I told you he is.
00:08:28I guarantee it.
00:08:29Wow.
00:08:30Don't we look at him?
00:08:30Oh, yeah, you do.
00:08:32Dad, but I already have a high post.
00:08:34And you're selling fish.
00:08:35Isn't that so strange?
00:08:36I told you not to become an official.
00:08:38I told you that.
00:08:39But then you did it anyway.
00:08:41What can I do about it?
00:08:42Hey, Dadadadad.
00:08:44So right now, I'm commander of the Royal Guard Bureau.
00:08:47All those noble houses are targeting me, just waiting for me to slip up.
00:08:51If they find out that my dad still sells fish here,
00:08:53they will impeach me just because I'm different from them.
00:08:56Wait, so you're saying that her majesty made you the commander of the Bureau just like that?
00:08:59Yeah, that's right.
00:09:00I have no idea whose bright idea it was to tell the queen that I'm perfect for the job.
00:09:05I curse all his ancestors.
00:09:07You're such a brat.
00:09:08You better wash your mouth.
00:09:10But you're not the one I curse, though.
00:09:13Yeah, fair point.
00:09:14Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.
00:09:16Recently, Grand Chancellor Vale of the Zoran Empire will be coming to Varel to discuss an alliance.
00:09:21I heard that the Zoran Empire is about ten times stronger than Varel.
00:09:25They rule by honoring filial piety.
00:09:27If those rumors spread right now that I'm unfilial,
00:09:29then how am I supposed to keep my post?
00:09:32Silly boy.
00:09:33Don't you worry.
00:09:34I'll tell Lord Cedric Vale you're very filial.
00:09:36Problem solved.
00:09:37Make way, make way.
00:09:39Ooh, look at all the big fish I have.
00:09:41Yes, just leave it to me.
00:09:44Dad!
00:09:46How will you talk to him?
00:09:47Who do you think you are to talk to him?
00:09:49Do you even know him like that?
00:09:50Well, I do know him.
00:09:51I'm telling you.
00:09:53I've got work to do.
00:09:54I'll come see you tonight.
00:09:55I'm telling you.
00:09:56I'll think it through.
00:09:58All right, all right, bye.
00:09:59See you, yes, goodbye.
00:10:02That little brat never believes me, honestly.
00:10:04Master Zhu, so your son is a top scholar.
00:10:07Well, I've got several sons.
00:10:09Several of them, so, hey!
00:10:11Hey, slow down!
00:10:12Be careful on your way!
00:10:16Was that her majesty?
00:10:19No way.
00:10:20How could she come here?
00:10:26Fair presence here!
00:10:28Freshly caught fish!
00:10:30Your highness, that man is just a fish seller.
00:10:33While you're as a ruler of the realm.
00:10:34So, how could he be worthy of you?
00:10:37Do I not get a say in my own marriage?
00:10:39Are you like those ministers?
00:10:41You want me to marry someone noble?
00:10:43I don't!
00:10:44I don't!
00:10:44Your majesty!
00:10:46I know you don't like those noble heirs.
00:10:48But you don't have to pick a fish seller either, right?
00:10:51There are plenty of bright young men from poor families.
00:10:54Oh, like the new top scholar Adrian.
00:10:56He's pretty good, right?
00:10:56If you keep talking, I'll marry you off to the pig seller.
00:11:00Hey, over here!
00:11:01Buy some pork!
00:11:04Huh?
00:11:04Huh?
00:11:05I don't want to!
00:11:06Hey, you!
00:11:07Let's get married!
00:11:08Huh?
00:11:09B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-married?
00:11:13Hey, you!
00:11:14Huh?
00:11:14Let's get married!
00:11:16Huh?
00:11:16M-m-m-m-married?
00:11:20You already slept with me.
00:11:22Take responsibility.
00:11:23Hey, hey, hey, hey, old Zoo!
00:11:25When did you snag yourself?
00:11:26Such a pretty girl!
00:11:27I want one too!
00:11:28You'll beat it!
00:11:28Stop it!
00:11:29When did I snag her?
00:11:31He totally did. I want to marry you.
00:11:33You're still the ruler of a kingdom. At least think of your image.
00:11:37Is this really the cold, ruthless Queen Alara?
00:11:40No, me and your son. No, you're my son's age. How could we get married?
00:11:45What? You have a son?
00:11:47Yes.
00:11:48He has a son?
00:11:49Yes.
00:11:49Uh-huh, yes.
00:11:50You have all met him, right?
00:11:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:53Then, during that night, how come I didn't see your wife?
00:11:58The kid's had it rough. His mom passed early.
00:12:01That's perfect. I won't be the sidewife. Let's get married.
00:12:05Mary! Mary! Mary! Mary! Mary!
00:12:09Oh, no. She wanted to be a concubine. What kind of lovesick brain is that?
00:12:14Stop shouting!
00:12:15You troublemaker. There's too many people. Let's talk elsewhere, okay?
00:12:19Come on. Butcher King, watch the stall.
00:12:21Yeah, sure, sure. Man, old Zhu is lucky.
00:12:28A queen? A fisherman? In her 20s? In his 40s? Th-this-this-this-this doesn't seem right.
00:12:35I think that it's perfect.
00:12:37You get to be an empress, isn't that awesome? Don't you joke with me!
00:12:42Hmm.
00:12:43Everyone thinks being emperor is great, but emperors never control their own lives.
00:12:50That is true. Misery no one tells.
00:12:53Hey, sir. What's with that face? What is it? Were you an emperor? How's that possible?
00:12:59Hmm?
00:13:00Managing fish is hard. Managing people must be worse. That is plausible, right?
00:13:05Yeah.
00:13:06Hmm.
00:13:07In the whole court, besides Lena, my one-trusted aide, I don't trust anyone. No wonder old emperors called themselves
00:13:14lonely.
00:13:15In an emperor's world, you can't trust anyone.
00:13:19Hmm.
00:13:20In my court, those ministers control state affairs and meddle in my life, saying that if I don't marry, there's
00:13:27no heir, and the court won't be stable.
00:13:29Especially lately, Lord Cedric Vale came to be an ally.
00:13:32To stop him from thinking Varel is unstable, just help me out.
00:13:37Okay?
00:13:38Okay. Even if... it's just a fake marriage with me.
00:13:44That's Cedric Vale. Makes my life hard.
00:13:48Listen to yourself. Cedric Vale. You know him, too?
00:13:52Of course I do.
00:13:53Cedric Vale is Zoran's Grand Chancellor. That empire is the Supreme Empire. We are all just their vassals.
00:14:00Since the Holy Emperor vanished, Cedric Vale has been the most powerful man. You know him?
00:14:06Yeah, right.
00:14:07I really do know him. Me and...
00:14:09Sir, just help me out, okay?
00:14:12I really can't help you. Go ask someone else.
00:14:15Hey, sir, please help me!
00:14:17Stop shaking! You're hurting me!
00:14:19Sir!
00:14:20I can't take it! Stop shaking me!
00:14:23Sir!
00:14:24This is insane!
00:14:27Help me!
00:14:29Help me!
00:14:29Stop! Stop! I can't keep going! I surrender!
00:14:34He's done already?
00:15:03Men in their 40s really are past their prime.
00:15:06No need. I know all of that.
00:15:09You're just a fishmonger. How would you know?
00:15:11Each badge means a different rank.
00:15:13If you get it wrong, you'll give yourself away.
00:15:15Civil robes have birds. Military robes have beasts.
00:15:17Red robes are for fourth-ranked military officers.
00:15:19Purple robes for first-ranked ministers.
00:15:21We copied all this from Zoran Empire.
00:15:23Not much difference.
00:15:24Hey, are you just a fishmonger?
00:15:27How do you know so much?
00:15:28What now? You look down on fishmongers?
00:15:30Even a fishmonger really cares about the state.
00:15:33Understand?
00:15:34Well said.
00:15:36Mister, these were words that my father left me.
00:15:40No lies, no stubborn pride, no obsession, no ego.
00:15:44This is from the Analects, Zihan.
00:15:46Looks like your father had high hopes for you.
00:15:50You've read the classics?
00:15:52You can read?
00:15:53Uh, well, honestly, I just know a few characters.
00:15:58Oh, right.
00:15:59Looks like I found a gem.
00:16:03Mister.
00:16:14Mister.
00:16:15Yeah?
00:16:16I am starting to like you.
00:16:21Your Majesty!
00:16:23Oh, dear.
00:16:27Your Majesty!
00:16:28In broad daylight, please do have some restraint.
00:16:31If others see this, it won't look good for you.
00:16:34My apologies.
00:16:37Did you bring the stuff?
00:16:39I did.
00:16:41Mister, I have a gift for you.
00:16:43As the Queen's Royal Consort.
00:16:45You can't keep wearing rough linen.
00:16:47Why?
00:16:50Yes, yes, yes.
00:16:53Sir.
00:16:54And this one, sir.
00:16:56Take one pill morning and night.
00:16:58For Her Majesty's well-being.
00:17:00That is all that I can do.
00:17:02Hmm?
00:17:04Oh?
00:17:25Whoa!
00:17:27Whoa!
00:17:28This...
00:17:29This is insane!
00:17:32You like it, too?
00:17:34Of course I do!
00:17:37Oh!
00:17:38Your Majesty!
00:17:39That's not what I meant!
00:17:40I just...
00:17:41Huh?
00:17:42What do you think?
00:17:43About it?
00:17:43Sir!
00:17:44With your presence,
00:17:45when we stand together,
00:17:47you look like the Emperor,
00:17:48and we are all your men!
00:17:50Ha ha ha ha!
00:17:51Is it really that obvious?
00:17:53Sir?
00:17:54Huh?
00:17:54What was that?
00:17:55I just said it's about time.
00:17:57So let's go!
00:17:58Uh, let's go!
00:17:59Ha ha ha ha!
00:18:00Young Master Edgar,
00:18:01of all of the noble house heirs,
00:18:03you are the youngest
00:18:04and a Royal Academy scholar.
00:18:07I heard lately
00:18:08Her Majesty's choosing a husband.
00:18:09I'd say,
00:18:10it has to be you.
00:18:14You?
00:18:15If I became
00:18:16Her Majesty's husband,
00:18:17wouldn't that make me
00:18:19King of Vero?
00:18:20Oh, well, of course.
00:18:23Not necessarily.
00:18:25That new top scholar,
00:18:26Adrian Zorin,
00:18:27is a real rival.
00:18:28Ah, Adrian Zorin's nothing.
00:18:30He's just a country nobody.
00:18:32How could he compare to
00:18:33young Master Edgar?
00:18:35Ah,
00:18:35Her Majesty has arrived!
00:18:47Greetings,
00:18:48Your Majesty!
00:18:49You may all rise.
00:18:51Today we welcome
00:18:52Grand Chancellor Vale.
00:18:53Everyone,
00:18:54enjoy yourselves.
00:18:55No need to be stiff.
00:18:56Huh?
00:18:57Who is that man?
00:18:58Why is he with
00:18:59Her Majesty?
00:19:00Why does he look
00:19:01so familiar?
00:19:02Allow me to introduce.
00:19:04This
00:19:05is my fiancé.
00:19:06He is Julian Zorin.
00:19:08Huh?
00:19:12Your Majesty,
00:19:13since when did you
00:19:14have a fiancé?
00:19:16For quite some time.
00:19:18But
00:19:18he's been working
00:19:19away from home,
00:19:20he just returned.
00:19:21So,
00:19:22I brought him
00:19:22to meet you all.
00:19:24I've been busy.
00:19:25Her Majesty
00:19:26has really high standards.
00:19:28Sir,
00:19:28what background
00:19:29do you have?
00:19:29To catch
00:19:30Her Majesty's eye!
00:19:31Your surname
00:19:31is Zorin?
00:19:32Are you from
00:19:33the Zorin Royal family?
00:19:35Wow!
00:19:36He's quite handsome.
00:19:41Mr. Zorin?
00:19:43Yes?
00:19:44I'm Edgar Asherent,
00:19:45of the House of Vanyang.
00:19:46Mr. Zorin,
00:19:47are you from
00:19:48the Zorin Royal line?
00:19:49No,
00:19:50the House of Vanyang Ashford.
00:19:51It's also one
00:19:52of the top noble houses.
00:19:54Yes,
00:19:55I'm from the Zorin Empire.
00:20:00Lord Zhu,
00:20:01what position
00:20:02did you hold
00:20:02back in the Zorin?
00:20:04I'm nobody important.
00:20:05I just happen to know
00:20:06most of the officials
00:20:07of third rank and above.
00:20:11That's about it.
00:20:14He knows just about
00:20:15every high-ranking official
00:20:16and his surname's show.
00:20:18Don't tell me
00:20:19you're a prince of Zorin?
00:20:23Don't tell me
00:20:24you're a prince of Zorin?
00:20:28Close enough.
00:20:29Right.
00:20:30I knew it
00:20:31when I saw
00:20:32His Highness just now
00:20:32you carry yourself
00:20:33with such presence.
00:20:34It's just that
00:20:35I got it wrong
00:20:36for a moment
00:20:37and mistook you
00:20:37for a fishmonger
00:20:38from Greenford Country.
00:20:39My mistake,
00:20:40truly.
00:20:40My mistake.
00:20:41What's wrong
00:20:41with selling fish?
00:20:42Don't look down
00:20:43on fish sellers.
00:20:44Listen,
00:20:44running a fish stall
00:20:46and commanding people
00:20:47are two very different things.
00:20:49Aren't they?
00:20:52Ah, yes, yes.
00:20:53You're absolutely right.
00:20:55I misspoke.
00:20:55My mistake.
00:20:57No, no.
00:20:57No need.
00:20:58My husband just returned
00:20:59so he's not very familiar
00:21:00with the Zorin Empire yet.
00:21:02Everyone,
00:21:03please ask him something else.
00:21:04Your Majesty,
00:21:05the Zorin Empire
00:21:06is the supreme realm
00:21:07under heaven.
00:21:07It's rare for us
00:21:08to meet His Highness.
00:21:09Let His Highness
00:21:09tell us about Zorin.
00:21:10What do you all think?
00:21:11Yes, that's right.
00:21:13That's right.
00:21:14There is not much
00:21:15to tell actually.
00:21:16It's just that
00:21:16around this time
00:21:18it's the lambing season
00:21:19for the northern step raiders
00:21:20so the Zorin Empire
00:21:21is going to push north first
00:21:22and strike the raiders.
00:21:24This time,
00:21:24Lord Cedric Vale
00:21:25came to see you
00:21:26with Varel
00:21:26all because we need
00:21:27to secure grain and fodder.
00:21:30I didn't think
00:21:31he even knew that.
00:21:33And therefore,
00:21:34families like
00:21:35the Ashfords of Fanyang,
00:21:36the Wangs of Langya,
00:21:38the Moorlands of Greenford
00:21:39and so on.
00:21:40You noble houses
00:21:41more grain for years now
00:21:42and this time around
00:21:43bring out all that grain
00:21:44every last sec.
00:21:46Don't worry.
00:21:47However much you have,
00:21:48the Zorin Empire
00:21:49will buy all of it.
00:21:50Money won't be a problem.
00:21:52Secretly hoarding grain?
00:21:56Your Majesty,
00:21:57we Ashfords of Fanyang
00:21:58have many mouths to feed.
00:21:59Naturally,
00:21:59we do a bit more than others
00:22:00so we have no choice.
00:22:02We can only store a little more.
00:22:06Yeah,
00:22:06things like this.
00:22:07All the noble houses
00:22:08do this in secret
00:22:09behind closed doors.
00:22:10Keep your face under control.
00:22:11Remember,
00:22:12as an emperor,
00:22:13you never show your emotions.
00:22:14Even if your heart thunders,
00:22:15keep a calm face.
00:22:17Ha ha ha ha.
00:22:19Actually,
00:22:19let me tell you this.
00:22:20If you want to do business
00:22:21with Zorin,
00:22:22grain doesn't make much money.
00:22:24Where's the real money?
00:22:25Silk,
00:22:26uh,
00:22:27tea,
00:22:27salt,
00:22:28and spices.
00:22:29Those generate big money.
00:22:31Ha ha ha ha.
00:22:32Impressive.
00:22:34The silk,
00:22:35salt,
00:22:37those are all
00:22:37really big trades.
00:22:46Lord Benedict.
00:22:47Uh,
00:22:48ha ha ha.
00:22:49High Prince Julian.
00:22:50The honor is all mine.
00:22:54High Prince Julian.
00:22:56An honor,
00:22:56an honor.
00:22:57Ah.
00:22:59Lord Benedict.
00:23:02You know who I am?
00:23:03Of course.
00:23:05You were from Varel.
00:23:06You were the most senior elder,
00:23:07respected and powerful.
00:23:10I've heard much about you.
00:23:11Ha ha ha.
00:23:11Oh my,
00:23:12you are too kind.
00:23:13How could I compare to you?
00:23:14Ha ha ha ha.
00:23:15Your majesty,
00:23:16may I speak with Prince Julian
00:23:17for a moment?
00:23:18I'd like to have a proper chat with him.
00:23:21Ha ha ha.
00:23:24Sure.
00:23:24Go ahead.
00:23:25Uh,
00:23:26after you,
00:23:27Prince.
00:23:27Please.
00:23:28Ha ha ha ha.
00:23:30Prince Julian,
00:23:31the noble houses of Varel
00:23:32would like to trade
00:23:33with the Zoran Empire.
00:23:34But please,
00:23:35keep this between us.
00:23:36After all,
00:23:37quiet deals
00:23:37are the best,
00:23:38am I right?
00:23:40Ha ha ha.
00:23:42Profiting from
00:23:42a kingdom's troubles,
00:23:44is that it?
00:23:44Ha ha ha.
00:23:45You flatter me.
00:23:47Ha ha ha.
00:23:49Prince Julian,
00:23:50let me give a toast to you.
00:23:51First time I've seen one.
00:23:53This is what an actual
00:23:53Zoran prince looks up close.
00:23:55Ha ha ha.
00:23:55You flatter me.
00:24:00Guangling, bro?
00:24:01Hmm.
00:24:01Good wine.
00:24:02Tribute wine from Guangling
00:24:03sent to the Zoran court.
00:24:04Oh my.
00:24:06Prince Julian is truly
00:24:07well-informed and worldly.
00:24:08I trade with Guangling often.
00:24:09We go way back in business.
00:24:10They just sent us a few jars.
00:24:12And we only use them
00:24:13on major occasions.
00:24:14It is truly quite rare.
00:24:16Ha ha ha.
00:24:16No worries.
00:24:17Zoran has a lot
00:24:18and plenty of this stuff
00:24:19to provide.
00:24:20Next time,
00:24:20take as much as you want.
00:24:21I'll send it over.
00:24:22Okay?
00:24:22Then we'll be counting
00:24:23on you, prince.
00:24:24We do hope you look
00:24:25after us in the future.
00:24:27We'd rather stop
00:24:28dealing in grain.
00:24:29Things like Zoran Empire's
00:24:30silk,
00:24:31tea,
00:24:33salt,
00:24:33those kinds of trades.
00:24:35Ha ha ha.
00:24:35No problem at all.
00:24:37How about you all?
00:24:38These past years,
00:24:39the noble houses
00:24:40have made a fortune.
00:24:41So maybe,
00:24:42think about it,
00:24:43lend her majesty
00:24:43a little support.
00:24:45After all,
00:24:45she will be my
00:24:46future wife, right?
00:24:52Support her.
00:24:53For your sake,
00:24:53we will.
00:24:54We have to support her.
00:24:55Support, yeah, support.
00:24:56Well, support her.
00:24:57We will.
00:24:58Lord Benedict.
00:25:00What are you saying?
00:25:06Strike while it's hot.
00:25:07Or lose your chance.
00:25:10Your majesty,
00:25:11your majesty.
00:25:12About what you said
00:25:13last time,
00:25:13the Grand Canal project.
00:25:15You said funds were tight.
00:25:16I still have money.
00:25:18I'm willing to put up
00:25:19three million.
00:25:21Later,
00:25:21I'll have it sent
00:25:22to the palace.
00:25:24Ah,
00:25:25didn't you say
00:25:26that your house was broke?
00:25:27Ha ha ha ha.
00:25:28It's because this canal
00:25:29will benefit generations.
00:25:31No matter how poor I am,
00:25:32I must back your majesty
00:25:33on this, right?
00:25:35Besides,
00:25:35Prince Julian
00:25:36is leading us in business.
00:25:38If we can seal a deal
00:25:39with the Zorian Empire,
00:25:40the canal money is nothing
00:25:42but spare change.
00:25:44Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:25:45Your majesty,
00:25:46that amount is peanuts.
00:25:47Aren't you sure
00:25:48ten million
00:25:48for the border army's pay?
00:25:50Our Ashford house
00:25:51will cover it for you.
00:25:52My Linkland as well.
00:25:54We'll ship it too.
00:25:55Don't worry about it.
00:26:03Stop staring.
00:26:04You missed it.
00:26:06Still,
00:26:06I can't shake the feeling.
00:26:08The more I look at him,
00:26:09the more he looks like
00:26:10the Greenford Fishmonger.
00:26:12More and more like him.
00:26:14Zorin Envoys,
00:26:15present yourselves!
00:26:22Husband,
00:26:23they'll catch us.
00:26:24Run.
00:26:24Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:30Oh, chubby.
00:26:33Move, move.
00:26:36Excellent.
00:26:37Everyone else here.
00:26:38Ah, my foster father,
00:26:40Grand Chancellor Vale
00:26:41will be arriving soon.
00:26:42Line up.
00:26:43Welcome him.
00:26:44Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:26:45Lord Zoo,
00:26:46you've come at the right time.
00:26:48This day is filled with joy upon joy.
00:26:50First, our two nations,
00:26:51Seal and Alliance.
00:26:52Second,
00:26:53Prince Julian is to unite
00:26:54with her majesty
00:26:54in marriage after all.
00:26:56Prince Julian.
00:26:57Huh?
00:26:57which Prince Julian?
00:27:00Prince Julian?
00:27:02In the Zoran Empire,
00:27:03there's no such Prince Julian.
00:27:05Isn't this man
00:27:06the Zoran Empire's
00:27:07Prince Julian?
00:27:11Ah, yeah.
00:27:12He just laid a hand on me.
00:27:14You don't know me?
00:27:17Why would I need to know you, huh?
00:27:20Who are you?
00:27:22Hey,
00:27:23Lucian Zoran
00:27:24comes from the royal blood
00:27:25as well.
00:27:26If Julian Zoran
00:27:27really were a prince,
00:27:28then how come
00:27:29they don't know each other?
00:27:31Hmm,
00:27:32now that is quite sharp.
00:27:33I'm Lucian Zoran,
00:27:35the Emperor's cousin's
00:27:36uncle's aunt.
00:27:38Livin' son-in-law's
00:27:39cousin's son.
00:27:40Yeah,
00:27:40cousin's son.
00:27:42What aunt?
00:27:43What the hell?
00:27:44What cousin?
00:27:45What?
00:27:46Be quiet.
00:27:47Forget it.
00:27:47Your IQ can't handle it.
00:27:49Anyway, bottom line,
00:27:50I'm practically our Emperor's...
00:27:51Oh, Neviu,
00:27:52a fourth-ranked Marquis.
00:27:54In our Imperial clan,
00:27:56we've never seen this guy.
00:27:58Ha ha ha ha.
00:27:59Fine.
00:28:00I won't blame you.
00:28:01Your rank's too low
00:28:02when you're young.
00:28:03You must have knelt
00:28:03too far back
00:28:04so you couldn't see me.
00:28:05You really talk so much crap.
00:28:07If I knelt that far,
00:28:08you wouldn't even
00:28:09deserve to kneel.
00:28:12We've all been fooled by him.
00:28:13He's a fake.
00:28:15That is right.
00:28:16I was wondering before
00:28:17and now it all makes sense.
00:28:19You're the green ford guy,
00:28:20the one who sells fish.
00:28:21Your Majesty,
00:28:21you've been tricked.
00:28:23Exactly.
00:28:23Your Majesty,
00:28:24what on earth is going on?
00:28:26What else could it be?
00:28:27Just like he said,
00:28:28I really am a fish seller.
00:28:30Oh?
00:28:30Huh?
00:28:31Wait.
00:28:32I'm a fish seller.
00:28:34Bullshit.
00:28:35You still did business with us.
00:28:36It was all a lie.
00:28:37Your Majesty,
00:28:38our family
00:28:39has no grade at home
00:28:40about the canal.
00:28:41Please ask someone else.
00:28:43Our family is sound too.
00:28:45Your Majesty,
00:28:46you brought in a fish seller
00:28:47in order to fool us.
00:28:48Hey,
00:28:48this really isn't about her.
00:28:49It was me.
00:28:50For wealth and glory,
00:28:51I pretended to be a Zoran prince
00:28:53and lied to her.
00:28:54And of course,
00:28:55I lied to you too.
00:28:57It wasn't him.
00:28:57Just listen to me.
00:28:58That's it.
00:28:59Um,
00:28:59I still need to sell fish
00:29:00so I'm leaving.
00:29:01Hey,
00:29:02hold on.
00:29:03You dare to lie to your sovereign?
00:29:05Think he can just leave?
00:29:06That's a capital offense.
00:29:09You dare to lie to the sovereign?
00:29:11That's a capital offense.
00:29:13You will surely get beheaded.
00:29:15I chose him to be my husband,
00:29:16even if he's just a fishmonger.
00:29:18Beheaded or not,
00:29:18that's none of your business.
00:29:19Huh?
00:29:20Your Majesty,
00:29:21he lied to you.
00:29:22Why are you defending him now?
00:29:24Your Majesty,
00:29:24have you gone mad?
00:29:25He lied to you
00:29:26and pretended to be a royal prince.
00:29:27If Chancellor Vale
00:29:28finds out about this,
00:29:29a hundred deaths aren't enough.
00:29:30Besides,
00:29:31our alliance with Zorin
00:29:32will fall apart.
00:29:33So let it fall apart.
00:29:36I,
00:29:37the appointed Queen of Varel,
00:29:38will have the
00:29:39final say.
00:29:41Nonsense.
00:29:42The late Emperor
00:29:42gave you the throne.
00:29:43Don't be so reckless
00:29:44with your feelings.
00:29:45The foundation of our kingdom,
00:29:46sooner or later,
00:29:47will be ruined by you, woman.
00:29:48Stop using the late Emperor
00:29:49against me.
00:29:49You,
00:29:50wait.
00:29:51Hey,
00:29:51stop yelling,
00:29:52stop yelling.
00:29:52Your Varel affairs,
00:29:53take it home and argue there.
00:29:54But this man,
00:29:55he pretended to be
00:29:56of the Zorin royal blood.
00:29:58I'm taking him
00:29:59to be executed.
00:30:01Don't you dare.
00:30:03Why wouldn't I dare?
00:30:04What's there to stop me?
00:30:05The Queen of Varel
00:30:06has no say
00:30:07over the people
00:30:08of the Zorin Empire.
00:30:09Besides,
00:30:10the Zorin Empire
00:30:11is the Supreme
00:30:12Celestial Realm.
00:30:13Gods,
00:30:14drag him out
00:30:15and behead him.
00:30:17And Chancellor
00:30:18Vail arrives.
00:30:19Just wait.
00:30:20All of you,
00:30:20wait.
00:30:21Father Chancellor.
00:30:29Father Chancellor.
00:30:32Greetings,
00:30:33Lord Cedric.
00:30:34Lord Cedric,
00:30:34who's that?
00:30:35Lord Cedric.
00:30:35Someone bullied me.
00:30:38The devil,
00:30:39what happened?
00:30:40He,
00:30:41he pretended to be
00:30:42a Zorin royal prince.
00:30:43My prince?
00:30:46I'd like to see
00:30:47who dares to be
00:30:49your majesty.
00:30:51I want to see
00:30:52who dares to do this,
00:30:54your majesty.
00:30:58This,
00:30:59this,
00:30:59what is going on?
00:31:06Get up.
00:31:07Come on up.
00:31:08This is wrong.
00:31:09All wrong.
00:31:12Run, Chancellor.
00:31:13Great Empire envoys
00:31:14don't bow to lesser kings.
00:31:16You're Zorin's envoy.
00:31:17No need to bow
00:31:18such a grand salute.
00:31:19Ah.
00:31:20Ah, Grand Chancellor.
00:31:22This honors Virel.
00:31:23Exactly.
00:31:23When Vail visits
00:31:24other nations,
00:31:25it's their emperors
00:31:26who kneel to him.
00:31:26How come in our
00:31:27kingdom of Virel,
00:31:28it's the other way around?
00:31:29Yeah.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:30Grand Chancellor,
00:31:31her majesty said,
00:31:32get up.
00:31:32A grown man kneeling nonstop.
00:31:34Have you no shame?
00:31:35Get up.
00:31:36Get up.
00:31:37What are you muttering?
00:31:39I was just looking at him.
00:31:40Are you cursing my father?
00:31:41Were you?
00:31:42I wasn't.
00:31:43He's old.
00:31:44Kneeling hurts his knees.
00:31:45You little bastard.
00:31:47A dork.
00:31:48Apologize to her majesty.
00:31:50To Julian.
00:31:52And to Mr. Zorin next to him.
00:31:54I'm apologizing to him.
00:31:56No way.
00:31:57Sorry.
00:31:59That's adorable.
00:32:01Lord Cedric,
00:32:01no need to be so polite.
00:32:02Don't apologize to him.
00:32:03He pretended to be
00:32:04a Zorin high prince.
00:32:05That crime deserves death.
00:32:07Exactly.
00:32:09Grand Chancellor,
00:32:10please let me explain.
00:32:11He didn't mean to impersonate.
00:32:13He is my fiancé.
00:32:15Fiancé?
00:32:16You two are getting married?
00:32:19Chancellor, please.
00:32:20Wonderful news.
00:32:23Getting married?
00:32:25Uh, Chancellor, please.
00:32:26That is wonderful news, huh?
00:32:28Where did you come around?
00:32:29Set a date yet?
00:32:30Location?
00:32:31The date matters.
00:32:32Let me pick a lucky date.
00:32:36You really know Grand Chancellor Bale?
00:32:38This is a little complicated.
00:32:39I will explain it some other day.
00:32:41Um, nothing left for me here.
00:32:42I will get going then.
00:32:43If I don't leave now,
00:32:44I'm afraid they will have my head.
00:32:45Who will bear take your head?
00:32:48Who?
00:32:53What?
00:32:54What?
00:32:58The boy has guts, apparently.
00:33:02Lord Cedric Bale,
00:33:03Is he really a Zoran High Prince?
00:33:05A High Prince?
00:33:10There's no way.
00:33:12Exactly.
00:33:13I said there was no way.
00:33:15Chancellor, father,
00:33:16he is impersonating a High Prince.
00:33:17By law,
00:33:18he's to be beheaded.
00:33:19Insolence!
00:33:20He's more noble than any High Prince.
00:33:22To our Zoran Empire,
00:33:23he is.
00:33:29An otter guest of the throne,
00:33:31huh?
00:33:34Haha,
00:33:35just an old friend.
00:33:37Oh, don't go back
00:33:39for 20 strokes.
00:33:40Come on,
00:33:41not in front of everyone.
00:33:42Don't beat me, please.
00:33:43We can skip the 20 strokes.
00:33:44Oh, great.
00:33:45Make it 40,
00:33:4680,
00:33:4680,
00:33:471.
00:33:4720 is perfect.
00:33:49Hit harder.
00:33:51He's so adorable.
00:33:54As for you,
00:33:58Grand Chancellor Bale,
00:33:59Mr. Zoran,
00:34:00it really was a misunderstanding.
00:34:02I...
00:34:02Mr. Zoran,
00:34:03hmm?
00:34:03How do you want to deal with him?
00:34:05Oh, deal with him?
00:34:06He's just a kid.
00:34:07He's still wet behind the ears.
00:34:09If we fuss with him,
00:34:10what kind of adults are we?
00:34:11All right.
00:34:12Don't let it happen again.
00:34:13Get up.
00:34:14Thanks, Chancellor.
00:34:14Thanks.
00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Zoran.
00:34:20Mr. Zoran,
00:34:21we have greatly offended you just now.
00:34:23Please be generous with us
00:34:24and do not take such things too hard.
00:34:26Yes, yes.
00:34:27Mr. Zoran,
00:34:27I really failed to recognize you.
00:34:30It's fine, it's fine.
00:34:31We're all on the same side.
00:34:33Look,
00:34:33Chancellor Bale's here too.
00:34:34Just sit with Zoran
00:34:35and talk business properly.
00:34:37Make lots of money
00:34:37after you earn it.
00:34:38Use it to fully support your Empress.
00:34:40That is all.
00:34:41Yes, yes, yes.
00:34:42You have my word,
00:34:43Mr. Zoran.
00:34:44If Her Majesty ever needs anything,
00:34:45we will give our full...
00:34:48Full support.
00:34:50Right, our full support.
00:34:51Definitely.
00:34:53Good.
00:34:54Then there's nothing left for me here.
00:34:56My fish.
00:34:57My fish.
00:34:58My fish is not cooked yet.
00:35:00Okay, I'm off.
00:35:03Fish?
00:35:04Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:35:08I'm late.
00:35:09The banquet's almost over.
00:35:10Damn.
00:35:11Hey.
00:35:13Huh?
00:35:16Father.
00:35:16Son?
00:35:17What are you doing here?
00:35:18Uh...
00:35:19Why can't I be here?
00:35:21That outfit.
00:35:24Where did you steal it from?
00:35:26Hey!
00:35:26What kind of talk is that, huh?
00:35:27You think your father is just a thief?
00:35:29Oh, I remember now.
00:35:31Today's banquet theme is
00:35:32Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate.
00:35:34You're here to deliver fish to the palace.
00:35:36Fine, fine, fine.
00:35:37I'm here to deliver fish, okay?
00:35:39Sure, Father.
00:35:40Your business really is everywhere.
00:35:43Father, after you deliver the fish,
00:35:45don't leave through the main gate.
00:35:46Go out the back gate of the Imperial Garden.
00:35:48Whatever you do,
00:35:49don't let anyone know you're my father.
00:35:51Go, go, go.
00:35:52You ashamed of your own father now?
00:35:53I...
00:35:54I'll smack you!
00:35:55No, no, no.
00:35:55It's not that I'm ashamed.
00:35:57Our kingdom of Virel now rules the realm
00:35:59with loyalty and filial piety.
00:36:00If people find out that I,
00:36:01the top scholar of the realm,
00:36:02have a father who sells fish,
00:36:03how am I supposed to keep my post?
00:36:05Just go, just go, just go.
00:36:06Oh, no.
00:36:08Your Majesty, Grand Chancellor Vale.
00:36:13You know each other?
00:36:17Oh, no.
00:36:19Not at all.
00:36:20Who is he?
00:36:22Brat.
00:36:24If you don't know me,
00:36:26then move.
00:36:29Mrs. Orange,
00:36:30may I walk with you?
00:36:32He'll give us two old friends
00:36:33a chance to catch up.
00:36:35Sure, come.
00:36:35Did you know each other?
00:36:38What's up to you?
00:36:40Nosey.
00:36:41Mrs. Orange, let's go.
00:36:42He is my father!
00:36:48Sijou, please leave.
00:36:49He is my father!
00:36:51Huh?
00:37:00You really are his.
00:37:02No way!
00:37:03Impossible!
00:37:04That's impossible!
00:37:05I don't even know him.
00:37:06Not at all!
00:37:07Father, father,
00:37:08you can't deny me.
00:37:09Father!
00:37:10Father, father, father, father!
00:37:11Father!
00:37:12Father!
00:37:13Father, don't disown me!
00:37:14I was going to take care of you
00:37:15when you get old!
00:37:16Oh my god!
00:37:18Damn it.
00:37:19My surname is Joe, too.
00:37:21I was really short-sighted,
00:37:22or he wouldn't have beaten me to it.
00:37:24Ah.
00:37:25Adrian.
00:37:26Your Majesty.
00:37:28I knew I wasn't wrong about you.
00:37:30With skin that thick,
00:37:31perfect for Royal Guard Bureau Command,
00:37:33best man for the job.
00:37:34Serve me well,
00:37:35and I'll see you live in glory and wealth.
00:37:38Well, I actually-
00:37:38Adrian Zorin!
00:37:39Kneeling and calling him dad impresses me a bit.
00:37:42When you make it big,
00:37:43don't you dare forget your brother here, huh?
00:37:46Heh.
00:37:47You.
00:37:48This Adrian Zorin.
00:37:49Truly a common-born.
00:37:51Just to climb the ranks,
00:37:52he'll call anyone his father.
00:37:53No line you won't cross.
00:37:54From now on,
00:37:55we stay away from him.
00:37:56Sure, sure.
00:37:56What do you mean kneeling and calling him dad?
00:37:57He is my real father.
00:38:00What do you mean,
00:38:01kneel and call him dad?
00:38:02He's my real dad.
00:38:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:04He's your real dad.
00:38:05Your actual dad.
00:38:06Adrian Zorin,
00:38:07you lucky dog,
00:38:07you're going places.
00:38:08Bro,
00:38:09you've really mastered the art
00:38:10of finding yourself a dad.
00:38:11I've got to learn from you.
00:38:12I want to make it big soon, too.
00:38:14What are you saying?
00:38:15He really is my dad.
00:38:16Oh, shh.
00:38:17He's my real father.
00:38:20He's my...
00:38:22He really is my dad.
00:38:26You just let Grand Chancellor Vale walk out?
00:38:29What about our alliance with Zorin?
00:38:31I'm still here, aren't I?
00:38:34Report!
00:38:36Your Majesty,
00:38:37urgent border dispatch.
00:38:46Grand Chancellor Vale,
00:38:48where to?
00:38:48Wait for me.
00:38:56Looks like from now on,
00:38:57we won't need to beg the Zorin Empire.
00:38:59Instead,
00:39:00the Zorin Empire will be begging us
00:39:01to ally with them.
00:39:04The Northern Step Raiders
00:39:05killed the Zorin Envoy
00:39:06and are marching south
00:39:07with 100,000 troops.
00:39:09They've taken it.
00:39:10More than 10 cities
00:39:11of the Zorin Empire.
00:39:11What utter crap?
00:39:13You're talking nonsense.
00:39:15Hand it over.
00:39:16When the Northern Raiders
00:39:17defeat the Zorin Empire,
00:39:19you'll all come begging us anyway.
00:39:21By then,
00:39:21we noble houses
00:39:22will bleed you dry.
00:39:24Grand Chancellor!
00:39:25Grand Chancellor!
00:39:26Look how beautiful
00:39:27the moon is tonight.
00:39:28Listen, Your Majesty,
00:39:29come back when you've had your fun.
00:39:31The Zorin Empire
00:39:31can't go on without you.
00:39:33What?
00:39:33Can't beat the Raiders?
00:39:35Do you really think
00:39:36that little of me?
00:39:37You left such a solid
00:39:38foundation behind.
00:39:39One of whom is nothing.
00:39:40Even 10 of him
00:39:41wouldn't be enough.
00:39:43I just want to wipe them out
00:39:44in one go
00:39:44so we don't waste time.
00:39:47I knew you were
00:39:47a devious bastard.
00:39:49So this time,
00:39:50those 100,000 Raiders
00:39:51are never going back.
00:39:52Hmph, obviously.
00:39:55Nice.
00:39:57Nice.
00:39:57With you and the Zorin Empire,
00:39:58I can relax.
00:39:59I'm doing great
00:40:00selling fish here.
00:40:01No worries at all.
00:40:02Nice and easy.
00:40:03Hey.
00:40:03Sure, it is for you.
00:40:05You dumped this mess on me
00:40:06and made me handle it.
00:40:07I've worked till my hair
00:40:07turned white.
00:40:08I mean...
00:40:08Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:10You've had it rough.
00:40:11You've worked hard.
00:40:12So you can put some of it down,
00:40:13have the load over for a bit,
00:40:15let the young take over,
00:40:16give them a chance too,
00:40:17or come sell fish with me.
00:40:19You said I'm such a schemer.
00:40:21How should I sell fish?
00:40:22I'm better at selling people.
00:40:23Don't want to sell fish?
00:40:25Then sell your art.
00:40:26I remember you're great
00:40:27at the Zither.
00:40:28Hmph.
00:40:29My music.
00:40:30How could ordinary folk
00:40:31understand it?
00:40:34Oh, I remember now.
00:40:36Your Zither skills,
00:40:37they're one of a kind.
00:40:38Last time you played
00:40:39on the empty city wall
00:40:40and the 100,000 troops
00:40:42across from us
00:40:42all ran up scared.
00:40:45You damn it.
00:40:50Hey, what are you doing here?
00:40:54Grand Chancellor Vale,
00:40:56Zoran is in trouble.
00:40:57As its ally,
00:40:57the Kingdom of Varel
00:40:58will never just stand by.
00:40:59If you need any supplies
00:41:00or troops,
00:41:01just say the word.
00:41:07You're way too cute.
00:41:09What are you laughing at?
00:41:10Raiders,
00:41:10aren't they about to attack us?
00:41:22Rest easy,
00:41:23your highness,
00:41:24and this war,
00:41:24the northern raiders will
00:41:25lo-
00:41:26The sooner the better!
00:41:27Let's go!

00:41:30I'll take my leave!
00:41:31Ha ha!
00:41:32Goodbye!

00:41:37will marry Queen
00:41:38Alera of Varel
00:41:39and I'll also tie my house
00:41:40to Varel.
00:41:41That way,
00:41:42His Majesty and I
00:41:43will be family.
00:41:44And then I'll outrank
00:41:45His Majesty
00:41:46and I'll have no choice
00:41:48but to call me
00:41:49Uncle!
00:41:50Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:41:52Ha ha ha ha!
00:41:56Among the Varel Royal Family,
00:41:58the best woman
00:41:59of marrying age.
00:42:00Isn't that just the Queen?
00:42:01She's the only one worthy
00:42:03of Grand Chancellor Vale's
00:42:04eldest son.
00:42:06If we sent her far away
00:42:07to marry to the Zoran Empire,
00:42:09then wouldn't the kingdom of Varel
00:42:11practically be as good as mine?
00:42:14Right in my pocket?
00:42:15Ha ha ha ha!
00:42:16Stop fooling around!
00:42:18I am your elder!
00:42:19When your father passed away,
00:42:21he entrusted you to me
00:42:22so your marriage
00:42:22will naturally be arranged by me.
00:42:25And besides,
00:42:26we're already reaching
00:42:27above our station!
00:42:30What do you mean
00:42:31above my station?
00:42:32I am not becoming
00:42:33some political pawn.
00:42:34I already have a fiancé.
00:42:36What?
00:42:36A fiancé?
00:42:38Who?
00:42:38Where is he?
00:42:39Forget it!
00:42:40Whoever he is,
00:42:41you're going to have
00:42:42to call this marriage off!
00:42:43The match I arranged for you
00:42:45is with the heir
00:42:46of Grand Chancellor Vale
00:42:47in the Zoran Empire!
00:42:48This is a huge chance
00:42:49for the kingdom of Varel!
00:42:51You absolutely
00:42:52cannot miss it!
00:42:53Is Lord Cedric Vale
00:42:54throwing me back to Zoran
00:42:55and provoking me?
00:42:57Huh!
00:42:58Someone's here!
00:43:00Hi Prince!
00:43:01How are your ears
00:43:02even sharper than normal?
00:43:04What sound?
00:43:05I did not hear anything!
00:43:06Oh!
00:43:07It must be your
00:43:08so-called fiancé!
00:43:09I want to see!
00:43:10What's so special
00:43:11about this guy
00:43:12that you are so obsessed
00:43:13with him?
00:43:14Come out!
00:43:14Hi Prince Rowan!
00:43:15I can see you!
00:43:22Hi Prince!
00:43:25Hi Prince!
00:43:31Hey!
00:43:34Yes?
00:43:36Sir!
00:43:36Have you seen
00:43:38a young man around here?
00:43:39Sir?
00:43:40I am that
00:43:41young man.
00:43:46He...
00:43:46He still calls himself
00:43:48young!
00:43:49If he counts as young
00:43:50then I'm definitely
00:43:51young too!
00:43:53Hmph!
00:43:54Sir!
00:43:55Ha ha!
00:43:56Show some respect,
00:43:57will you?
00:43:57There's a difference
00:43:58between young
00:43:58and young!
00:44:01Hi Prince!
00:44:02This is my fiancé!
00:44:03He is Julian!

00:44:09Tomorrow we are
00:44:10getting married!
00:44:12You...
00:44:12You'd better not be
00:44:13fooling me about this!
00:44:14He looks like...
00:44:15He's pushing 50!
00:44:17And you look
00:44:18well past 80!
00:44:20Hi Prince!
00:44:21Men this age
00:44:22have death!
00:44:22You don't believe me?
00:44:23Then I'll prove it to you!
00:44:27Tomorrow we are
00:44:28getting married!
00:44:30You...
00:44:31You'd better not be
00:44:31fooling me about this!
00:44:33He looks like...
00:44:34He's pushing 50!
00:44:36And you look
00:44:37well past 80!
00:44:38Hi Prince!
00:44:40Men this age
00:44:40have death!
00:44:41You don't believe me?
00:44:42Then I'll prove it to you!
00:44:44Gah!
00:44:46Hey you!
00:44:47Your elder is right there!
00:44:49Stop it!
00:44:49Stop it!
00:44:50Cut it out!
00:44:51You're making me blush!
00:44:54Uncle Rowan,
00:44:54do you believe me now?
00:44:56He's literally...
00:44:57A cradle robber!
00:44:59Uncle Rowan,
00:45:00I forbid you to talk
00:45:01about my fiancé like that!
00:45:02I remember your wife!
00:45:03Isn't she about my age too?
00:45:05Plus,
00:45:05your hair is already white!
00:45:06You're the real cradle robber here!
00:45:08Hey!
00:45:08Little ancestor!
00:45:10That's no way
00:45:10to talk to your elders!
00:45:11For elders you should say
00:45:13a pure light blossom
00:45:14bent over a bro's bush!
00:45:16Deaf, dumb,
00:45:17and full of himself!
00:45:18He may look like a pig!
00:45:19But deep down
00:45:20he's just a big,
00:45:21dirty,
00:45:22old perv!
00:45:27He's actually just
00:45:28a huge,
00:45:29horny,
00:45:30perv!
00:45:31Right!
00:45:31Well said!
00:45:33Hey,
00:45:34Uncle Rowan,
00:45:34are you okay?
00:45:35Uncle Rowan,
00:45:36you alright?
00:45:37You have truly
00:45:38gone too far!
00:45:42We found out,
00:45:43Your Highness.
00:45:44Her Majesty's fiancé
00:45:45is Julian Zorin,
00:45:46a fishmonger
00:45:46in Greenford County.
00:45:47They say Grand Chancellor Vale
00:45:48loves his fish.
00:45:49That's how they know each other.
00:45:51Damn it!
00:45:51A fishmonger!
00:45:52A fishmonger!
00:45:53Go to the Zorin Empire!
00:45:54Tell Grand Chancellor Vale's
00:45:56eldest son that his fiancé
00:45:57is getting married tomorrow!
00:45:59Tell him to crash the wedding!
00:46:01Oh right!
00:46:02And you'd better invite
00:46:04Grand Chancellor Vale here too!
00:46:06Yes!
00:46:08I'm so pissed!
00:46:09Your Highness,
00:46:11calm down,
00:46:11calm down.
00:46:12Here,
00:46:12drink your med-
00:46:13I'm not drinking that!
00:46:15This Julian Zorin
00:46:17is just a fishmonger,
00:46:18so what if he knows
00:46:18Grand Chancellor Vale?
00:46:20Still thinking about it,
00:46:21Her Majesty
00:46:22is really out of line.
00:46:23Marriage is serious,
00:46:24not some joke.
00:46:27Knows the Chancellor,
00:46:29big deal.
00:46:30But honestly,
00:46:31Her Majesty,
00:46:32she's really gone too far.
00:46:33Marriage is serious,
00:46:34not some game.
00:46:35I know exactly
00:46:36what she is thinking about!
00:46:38She doesn't want to marry
00:46:39into the Grand Chancellor's family,
00:46:41but she also won't marry
00:46:42into the Zorin Empire.
00:46:43Once she goes there,
00:46:44she's an outsider.
00:46:45She's afraid she can't hold
00:46:46onto the throne for herself.
00:46:48Oh!
00:46:50So your Highness means
00:46:51that she chose
00:46:52a fishmonger on purpose.
00:46:53Hmm.
00:46:53So that she can stay
00:46:54on the throne herself.
00:46:55I, that's exactly it!
00:46:57So what do we do?
00:46:59Back then,
00:47:00her father snatched
00:47:00the throne
00:47:01right out of your hands.
00:47:02Now,
00:47:03we finally have a chance.
00:47:05We can't just let it go.
00:47:08Your Highness,
00:47:10you want to be Emperor.
00:47:11And that woman
00:47:12wants to stay Empress too.
00:47:14This marriage alliance
00:47:16was Lord Cedric Vale's idea.
00:47:18I don't believe
00:47:20she is capable
00:47:21of standing up
00:47:22to Tristan Vale's pressure.
00:47:29Sir,
00:47:30your little rhyme
00:47:31was absolutely brilliant.
00:47:32He deserved every word.
00:47:34My dear Regent,
00:47:34you object to our marriage.
00:47:36But it is fine.
00:47:37I've explained everything
00:47:38to Commander Adrian.
00:47:40He will handle it for me.
00:47:42Well, anyway,
00:47:43my wonderful marriage
00:47:45to you
00:47:46is happening.
00:47:47You told Adrian
00:47:48everything about us?
00:47:50Mm-hmm.
00:47:52It is time he knew.
00:47:54I just do not know
00:47:55if he can accept it.
00:47:58What is there to accept?
00:48:00I am just asking him
00:48:01to arrange one marriage
00:48:02for me.
00:48:02He would not dare refuse.
00:48:04Right, right.
00:48:05You are my little tyrant.
00:48:07We all have to obey you.
00:48:09Then go get changed.
00:48:10Okay.
00:48:15My lord.
00:48:16Hey.
00:48:17Why are you still
00:48:18in that outfit?
00:48:19I, I...
00:48:20Lena!
00:48:21Where is your brain?
00:48:22I, I...
00:48:23I was busy
00:48:24changing your clothes.
00:48:25Lena!
00:48:26Where is the private...
00:48:28Huh.
00:48:29You are not trying
00:48:30to run off, are you?
00:48:31I'm not running off.
00:48:33I'm running to the toilet.
00:48:35Don't you lie to me.
00:48:37You have to believe me.
00:48:38I can't hold it.
00:48:42Hmph.
00:48:42Congratulations to you.
00:48:43This way, please.
00:48:44Deputy Minister of Revenue,
00:48:46gift money, $50,000.
00:48:49Prefection,
00:48:50gift money, $80,000.
00:48:52Grand Secretary Zhao,
00:48:54gift money, $100,000.
00:48:56That's a lot of money.
00:48:59Huh, your majesty.
00:49:04Your majesty finally came.
00:49:06I'm telling you.
00:49:07Those noble born officials
00:49:09know you love treasure.
00:49:10And to crush us,
00:49:11the common born officials,
00:49:12every single gift
00:49:13is tensed to thousands.
00:49:14The treasury is about to burst.
00:49:17Hmph.
00:49:18I see.
00:49:19Everything is exactly
00:49:20as I just planned.
00:49:24Hmph.
00:49:24I see.
00:49:26Everything is exactly
00:49:27as I just planned.
00:49:29Brilliant.
00:49:29Absolutely brilliant,
00:49:30your majesty.
00:49:31With you ruling Varel,
00:49:32this realm is truly blessed.
00:49:34My admiration for you
00:49:35is really endless.
00:49:35Don't use those old lines.
00:49:37Your majesty,
00:49:39look,
00:49:39the state treasury
00:49:40is overflowing now.
00:49:41Could we possibly
00:49:42return the gifts
00:49:43from the commoners?
00:49:45Hmph.
00:49:49Of course.
00:49:50I never intended
00:49:51to keep any money
00:49:51from you common born officials.
00:49:53That 1,000 tail fee
00:49:54was just to provoke
00:49:55those noble houses.
00:49:58Savvy, your majesty.
00:49:59Wow,
00:49:59just this one wedding
00:50:00brought in tens
00:50:01of millions of tails.
00:50:02I kind of want you
00:50:02to hold a wedding every day.
00:50:03Adrian,
00:50:04are you stupid?
00:50:06Anyway,
00:50:07back to what I was saying.
00:50:09I,
00:50:10under a wise master's guidance,
00:50:11was told that you
00:50:12are the one I can trust most.
00:50:14Stick with me
00:50:14and do your best
00:50:15from now on.
00:50:16All major affairs of state
00:50:17will be handled by you.
00:50:19Rest assured,
00:50:20your majesty,
00:50:21I will not let you down.
00:50:23The wedding is starting.
00:50:25Please go in first.
00:50:26I got it.
00:50:31Earlier,
00:50:31I misjudged you.
00:50:33But that wise master
00:50:34is actually pretty good.
00:50:36Dad?
00:50:39Dad?
00:50:41What?
00:50:42Dad.
00:50:43Oh, son.
00:50:44Why are you here?
00:50:45Her majesty told you, right?
00:50:47She made you
00:50:47to pledge the wedding.
00:50:48Put you on the spot, huh?
00:50:49Well, no.
00:50:50Her majesty's arrangement
00:50:51makes perfect sense.
00:50:53What she was explaining to me was
00:50:54she let me
00:50:55handle the state affairs.
00:50:56And that's easy.
00:50:58Queen Alara
00:50:58is handing the court
00:50:59over to you?
00:51:00Hmm?
00:51:00Oh.
00:51:02Well,
00:51:02she has no son of her own.
00:51:04Ah,
00:51:04you being in charge
00:51:05is the right choice.
00:51:06Why, of course.
00:51:07Her majesty trusts me the most.
00:51:08Of course she does.
00:51:09We'll be family
00:51:10from now on after all.
00:51:11Of course.
00:51:12What did you just say?
00:51:14Dad,
00:51:14why are you in the palace
00:51:15and what's with the clothes
00:51:16you're wearing?
00:51:18Oh,
00:51:19see,
00:51:19I had a feeling
00:51:19you're going to struggle
00:51:21to understand all of this.
00:51:23It's fine.
00:51:24We've still got plenty of time.
00:51:25Son,
00:51:26we'll ease into it.
00:51:27Okay?
00:51:28Good boy.
00:51:29Excuse me,
00:51:29commander.
00:51:30The wedding is starting.
00:51:31Her majesty wants you.
00:51:32All right.

00:51:36for today,
00:51:37let your beloved son

00:51:52over the town.
00:51:52It's Grant, right?
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:54The wedding today
00:51:54is important to the queen
00:51:56and to your son too,
00:51:57so it has to be perfect.
00:51:59So we must make sure
00:52:01that the day
00:52:01will be splendid.
00:52:02So this kid
00:52:03actually cares that much
00:52:04about his old man.
00:52:06It was all worth it.
00:52:07Oh, son.
00:52:08I didn't expect this.
00:52:10You actually care
00:52:10about me a lot.
00:52:11I just thought that...
00:52:16Bye, son.
00:52:18You've grown up.
00:52:35Oh, thank you
00:52:36for this, my boy.
00:52:40Dad,
00:52:40it is a happy day.
00:52:42No crying.
00:52:43Oh, right, right.
00:52:46I guess I'm just
00:52:48emotional today, huh?
00:52:50Huh?
00:52:51Where are you going?
00:52:52That's her majesty
00:52:53over there.
00:52:54I know that.
00:52:55She...
00:52:56She...
00:52:57Hang on.
00:52:58Don't tell me
00:52:58that you still don't know
00:52:59who her majesty
00:53:00is marrying today.
00:53:01She...
00:53:02She didn't tell you?
00:53:03She didn't tell me.
00:53:06So it...
00:53:07Dad, dad.
00:53:07Let me tell you.
00:53:09About the queen's favorite,
00:53:10his stamina
00:53:11is insanely good.
00:53:12They were going at it
00:53:14for two whole days
00:53:15and nights, you know.
00:53:17They were sparring
00:53:18for two days straight,
00:53:19can you imagine?
00:53:21Two days
00:53:22and two nights.
00:53:23Oh, no big deal.
00:53:26Dad,
00:53:27stop being salty.
00:53:29He's in that position.
00:53:30It's literally his job.
00:53:32Of course
00:53:33he's got more stamina.
00:53:35However,
00:53:36compared to me,
00:53:37he's behind.
00:53:39Quit bragging.
00:53:40In this department,
00:53:42your old man
00:53:42beats you by miles.
00:53:43No way!
00:53:45Dad,
00:53:45you're not young anymore.
00:53:46Why are you still showing off?
00:53:47Watch your mouth.
00:53:48Come on, dad.
00:53:49You know I even thought
00:53:51she liked me.
00:53:52Ha!
00:53:53Total wishful thinking.
00:53:55Wonder which jerk it is.
00:53:56So lucky.
00:53:57Married royalty.
00:53:58Why curse!
00:53:59If I'm that jerk,
00:54:00then what does that make you?
00:54:02Listen,
00:54:02this thing called love,
00:54:03it can't be forced.
00:54:05It's all about fate.
00:54:06Dad!
00:54:07What are you talking about?
00:54:09I don't get it.
00:54:10Son,
00:54:10let me tell you.
00:54:12Mr. Adrian.
00:54:13Adrian Zorin.
00:54:13This Mr. Adrian
00:54:14is actually our father.
00:54:16Why are we still on this?
00:54:18This is my dad,
00:54:19my real dad.
00:54:20Huh?
00:54:20We were just joking before.
00:54:21And this one here
00:54:22is my real eldest son.
00:54:24See?
00:54:25Huh?
00:54:28Lord husband.

00:54:51Congratulations,
00:54:52Your Majesty.
00:54:53You and Mr. Zorin
00:54:54are really such a perfect match.
00:54:55Right.
00:54:56Ha ha ha.
00:54:57Her Majesty
00:54:58is marrying
00:54:59my father?
00:55:00Yeah,
00:55:01we were all confused too.
00:55:02How did they even meet?
00:55:04Let me calm down a bit.
00:55:06You're saying?
00:55:07You already knew?
00:55:08You really didn't know?
00:55:11No wonder.
00:55:12You've offended
00:55:13every common-born official
00:55:14in every noble house
00:55:15in court.
00:55:16But things will be
00:55:17different now.
00:55:19Your Highness.
00:55:20Your Highness.
00:55:22From now on,
00:55:22I'm your little brother.
00:55:23Please look after me.
00:55:25Oh, don't.
00:55:26Your Highness.
00:55:31My Lord.
00:55:32My Lord.
00:55:34Keep your damn voice down.
00:55:36I am not deaf.
00:55:38Has your Master arrived?
00:55:39He's already here.
00:55:41Let's go.
00:55:47Your Master Tristan.
00:55:51You have finally made it.
00:55:53Any later,
00:55:54and your fiancée
00:55:55would be marrying someone else.
00:55:58How dare they?
00:55:59Who dares try to steal
00:56:01my woman?
00:56:02Leave the way.
00:56:03Wait, wait, wait.
00:56:04Hold on.
00:56:04It's just the two of you.
00:56:05Um,
00:56:06Grand Chancellor Vale
00:56:07didn't come?
00:56:08What do you mean, huh?
00:56:10My father lately,
00:56:11his legs are all worn out.
00:56:13He had to take a carriage.
00:56:14So,
00:56:14he'll be a bit late.
00:56:16Besides that,
00:56:17it's just a small matter.
00:56:19I am more than enough.
00:56:21Leave the way.
00:56:22Hold on.
00:56:22Here's the thing.
00:56:23My niece has been quite
00:56:24a handful ever since
00:56:25she was a little girl.
00:56:26I'm afraid
00:56:27if the Grand Chancellor
00:56:28doesn't come,
00:56:29you won't be respected.
00:56:32Tell him.
00:56:33It's fine.
00:56:34Our young Master Tristan here
00:56:35is not only the Grand Chancellor's son.
00:56:37Years ago,
00:56:38he even became the foster son
00:56:39of the Sacred Emperor.
00:56:40His status in the Empire
00:56:41is unmatched.
00:56:42Second to none.
00:56:43No one has ever dared
00:56:44to slight him.
00:56:46Enough?
00:56:47Not enough.
00:56:48Enough, enough, enough.
00:56:49Alright, alright, alright.
00:56:54First, bow to heaven and earth.
00:57:00Second, bow to your parents.
00:57:04Third, bow to each other
00:57:06as husband and wife.
00:57:07Hold on.
00:57:12Who is this
00:57:14that dares to try
00:57:15and steal my girl?
00:57:19Prince Rowan,
00:57:20who are these people?
00:57:21This man is
00:57:22the eldest son
00:57:23of Grand Chancellor Vale
00:57:24of the Zoran Empire,
00:57:25Tristan Vale.
00:57:27I personally handpicked him
00:57:28for you
00:57:28as your fiancée.
00:57:33Look how grown up
00:57:34he is now.
00:57:37Well, well,
00:57:38you bumpkin.
00:57:39Your son's descent.
00:57:40Come here.
00:57:41Let Her Majesty
00:57:42take a look.
00:57:44Hmm.
00:57:46Such a handsome boy.
00:57:49Tell me,
00:57:50what is your name?
00:57:52Tristan Vale.
00:57:54Tristan.
00:57:56Everlasting
00:57:57and unending.
00:57:57Greed in all four seasons.
00:58:00What a great name.
00:58:02How about
00:58:02you recognize me
00:58:03as your godfather?
00:58:10Your son greets
00:58:11his godfather.
00:58:12Good boy.
00:58:14Come here.
00:58:15Sit on my lap.
00:58:42Father.
00:58:45Father.
00:58:47Father?
00:58:50Ha ha ha.
00:58:52Tristan.
00:58:53Blink of an eye
00:58:54and you're all grown up.
00:58:58Father.
00:58:59It's been so many years
00:59:00since I saw you.
00:59:01I really missed you.
00:59:03Ha ha ha.
00:59:04You silly kid.
00:59:05Look.
00:59:07I'm right here now.
00:59:11Husband.
00:59:12This is...
00:59:12Oh.
00:59:14This is my godson,
00:59:15Tristan.
00:59:17Tristan.
00:59:18Hey.
00:59:18This is your godmother,
00:59:20Queen Alara of Varel.
00:59:21Queen Alara of Varel?
00:59:23My father told me
00:59:24the queen was marrying my dad.
00:59:26I didn't think
00:59:27it could be this fast.
00:59:28Father.
00:59:29Mother.
00:59:31Your highness,
00:59:32Tristan.
00:59:32Are you out of your mind?
00:59:33This is the woman
00:59:34that I picked
00:59:34to be your fiancée
00:59:35and you call her godmother?
00:59:37Then this old geezer here
00:59:38is trying to steal your woman
00:59:39and yet you still kneel to him.
00:59:41Are you out of your mind?
00:59:43So this is the one
00:59:44that marriage man
00:59:45she picked for me?
00:59:46That's right.
00:59:47Queen Alara of Varel?
00:59:47I promised your father
00:59:49I'd find you the finest woman
00:59:50in Varel
00:59:51and bring her to you
00:59:52and with your status
00:59:53of course I just had to match you
00:59:54with Queen Alara
00:59:55of Varel.
00:59:56What?
00:59:57Oh.
01:00:01Another deaf ear.
01:00:04No.
01:00:05Why did you suddenly hit me?
01:00:06I meant to hit you.
01:00:08You idiot.
01:00:10My godfather and godmother
01:00:11are madly in love.
01:00:13Everyone at court
01:00:13knows that.
01:00:14Were you intentionally
01:00:15trying to get me killed?
01:00:18Godfather.
01:00:19This is all a big misunderstanding.
01:00:21I had no idea.
01:00:22That deaf, dumb, blind, old fool
01:00:24sent the sufferer me.
01:00:26Picked her
01:00:26as my bride to me.
01:00:28She's my godmother.
01:00:29Otherwise
01:00:29even if I had a hundred lives
01:00:31I wouldn't dare
01:00:32steal her from you.
01:00:33It's fine, Tristan.
01:00:35Since you're here anyway
01:00:36stay and watch the ceremony
01:00:37and then
01:00:38let us dine together.
01:00:40Okay.
01:00:41Wait.
01:00:43Grand Chancellor Vail's eldest son
01:00:45is your godson?
01:00:46Why didn't you tell me
01:00:47that before?
01:00:48Father?
01:00:49Father?
01:00:52You never told me
01:00:53that before, dad.
01:00:55Father?
01:00:57Can you please
01:00:58stop calling me that?
01:00:59Uh, husband.
01:01:01He is your son too.
01:01:03Oh?
01:01:03This one's dry.
01:01:05This one's wet.
01:01:06He's on his own.
01:01:08No way.
01:01:10Her majesty got married
01:01:11and now
01:01:11she suddenly has
01:01:12two grown sons?
01:01:14There's no way.
01:01:15So Adrian
01:01:16really is
01:01:17Lord Zoran's son.
01:01:19Young Master Tristan
01:01:21I am a huge fan
01:01:22of Grand Chancellor Vail.
01:01:24In the future
01:01:24could you maybe
01:01:25introduce me to him?
01:01:27What are you saying?
01:01:29You're our dad's
01:01:30real son?
01:01:31So that makes you
01:01:32my big brother?
01:01:33No, no, no.
01:01:34You are
01:01:34Grand Chancellor Vail's
01:01:36eldest son.
01:01:36You should be
01:01:37the older brother.
01:01:37No, no, no.
01:01:39I'll be the younger one.
01:01:40You'll be the older brother.
01:01:41No, no, no.
01:01:42I'll be the younger one.
01:01:42You're the older one.
01:01:43You're the older brother.
01:01:44You're the older one.
01:01:45You're the older brother.
01:01:46You're the elder.
01:01:47I'm the younger.
01:01:48I'm the younger.
01:01:48You're the elder.
01:01:49You're the elder.
01:01:52Get up.
01:01:53Hey, get up
01:01:53you silly boys.
01:01:54Look at you two
01:01:55making your mother laugh.
01:01:56My stomach hurts
01:01:56from laughing.
01:01:57Tristan.
01:01:58Yes?
01:01:58You're a bit older
01:01:59so be the big brother.
01:02:02Brother Tristan.
01:02:03Big brother.
01:02:03No, no, no.
01:02:04Uh, um,
01:02:05Dad.
01:02:07Grand-Chancellor Veil's eldest son turns out to be your godson. Who are you really?
01:02:13Grand-Chancellor Veil's eldest son turns out to be your godson. Who are you really?
01:02:22Uhhh...
01:02:23Our dad only makes a living by selling fish and nothing else.
01:02:27Because our Veil family really loves fish and your dad's grilled fish is amazing.
01:02:32My father never picks friends by birth, so he told me to take your dad as my godfather. Did I
01:02:37get that right to be godfather?
01:02:39Kid, you really are sharp.
01:02:42That's exactly it.
01:02:46Ha!
01:02:48Ha! So you really are just some stinking fishmonger!
01:02:51I never said it because Grand-Chancellor Veil loves fish so much, but there are still too many bones. Guards,
01:02:55take him!
01:02:58Your Grace, what are you doing? Stop this!
01:03:04Get him!
01:03:05Outrageous! Has the Duke Ruan Varel Manor stopped listening to her majesty?
01:03:09What are you waiting for? Get him now!
01:03:11Huh?
01:03:14What are you waiting for? Get him now!
01:03:29Wow!
01:03:30So pretty!
01:03:32That was awesome!
01:03:36My son, are you okay?
01:03:38Mother, I'm fine.
01:03:44That's good, then.
01:03:45Ah!
01:03:49My son is safe.
01:03:51Thank heavens! With a mother like you, he's truly blessed.
01:03:54As long as our family's at peace, that's enough for me.
01:04:00Young lady, may I have your name?
01:04:03Ah!
01:04:05Hey, uh, uh- uh- uh- uh- uh- she is called...
01:04:09Uh- uh- uh- uh- Elise рас
01:04:10That's right. She's my personal body...
01:04:13Bodyguard!
01:04:14Correct! However, I realize that you need guarding much more! From now on, she's yours!
01:04:22Of course.
01:04:25You're welcome.
01:04:27Hey!
01:04:35Old man.
01:04:37No.
01:04:38You're all on your own.
01:04:42Sir.
01:04:43Right now, it is just you.
01:04:45All by yourself.
01:04:46So what? So what if I'm alone?
01:04:48I'm her majesty's royal uncle.
01:04:50You wouldn't dare kill me, would you?
01:04:56Hurry and get on with the wedding. Just pretend I'm not here.
01:04:59I have business.
01:05:01You're growing.
01:05:02Take care.
01:05:06Bitch. Guards.
01:05:09Drag these people out of here.
01:05:11Godmother. Godmother.
01:05:13Let us go on.
01:05:15Go on.
01:05:16Husband and wife bow to each other.
01:05:30Your grace.
01:05:32Queen Allara is going too far marrying that fishmonger.
01:05:35She even lets him sit on the dragon throne.
01:05:38Even we have never sat on it.
01:05:40I haven't sat on it either.
01:05:43If this madness continues, the legacy our ancestors left us will fall into someone else's hands.
01:05:49If this madness continues, the legacy our ancestors left us will fall into someone else's hands.
01:05:55So what should we do now?
01:05:57Right now, there's only one way.
01:05:59We can rally the whole royal clan and force her majesty to abdicate.
01:06:03And later, I will take the emperor's throne.
01:06:08I've already sent word to several princesses.
01:06:10In a few days, they'll arrive in the capital.
01:06:12That's wonderful, your highness.
01:06:14You mean, I finally have a shot at becoming empress?
01:06:21But that fishmonger is very close to the Grand Chancellor.
01:06:25Will the Zoran Empire cause us trouble?
01:06:27Don't worry about that.
01:06:29The Zoran Empire and we agreed long ago not to meddle in each other's affairs.
01:06:34As for that fishmonger, I have a way to utterly ruin him.
01:06:40What way?
01:06:43Sit, sit, sit.
01:06:51Your highness, what are you saying?
01:06:54You want me to seduce that fishmonger?
01:06:57She's your princess consort.
01:06:58If you want me to be a cuckold, do it yourself.
01:07:02I won't mix with lowborn, not a chance.
01:07:04Such foolish sentiment.
01:07:07Don't you want to be empress?
01:07:10Picture that dragon throne.
01:07:12Picture the masses bowing to you.
01:07:15What's this little sacrifice compared to that?
01:07:19Besides, I don't mind.
01:07:21Hmm?
01:07:24Frontier General Zhao Jixuan slain 1,000 raiders must be rewarded.
01:07:28But raiders are already broken by the Zoran.
01:07:30No spare forces to attack Varel.
01:07:32So, this General Zhao is very likely faking his reports.
01:07:36Even kill innocents for merit.
01:07:37We should, on the surface, promote him to commander of the troops.
01:07:40But in fact, transfer him to another post.
01:07:43Then send the Royal Bureau to secretly investigate.
01:07:45Warning prefecture drought.
01:07:47Thousands of victims are waiting for relief grain.
01:07:49Yet the court's relief grain is seized by local land barons.
01:07:52And they never reach those who are in desperate need of help.
01:07:55Take the grain.
01:07:56For wheat bran, the rich won't touch it.
01:07:58But the victims will eat it.
01:07:59And one unit of grain can get three units of bran.
01:08:02That way they survive and then we send harsh officials,
01:08:04execute land barons and make the heads roll.
01:08:08And once that happens, the grain they hoarded will naturally come spilling back out.
01:08:16Wow!
01:08:17Husband, you are amazing!
01:08:18These days I've come to learn so much from you!
01:08:21Given how small Varel is, this is all nothing big.
01:08:24Remember, as an emperor, you must master the art of rulership.
01:08:27All under heaven may not belong to you, but must be at your disposal.
01:08:34My love, you really are a gift from the heavens to me and to the kingdom of Varel.
01:08:39Hey, stop it!
01:08:40My eyes are-
01:08:42People are watching you.
01:08:44This is so embarrassing.
01:08:48My love, these past few days I've been watching you review memorials,
01:08:52and I want to try it myself.
01:08:53See how much I've learned.
01:08:56Alright.
01:08:57Perfect timing.
01:08:59I'm a bit tired anyway.
01:09:00Then you, don't push too hard.
01:09:05Alright.
01:09:07Lena, take my husband to rest.
01:09:09Yes.
01:09:10Just now, Her Majesty told me to serve you, sir, by serve.
01:09:14Does she mean proper serving?
01:09:28Nice!
01:09:29Third, fourth, sixth prince uncle, what are you all doing here?
01:09:34You summoned you to the capital.
01:09:36Nice.
01:09:38You should give up the throne.
01:09:39And step down.
01:09:44Hmm.
01:09:47Lena, your hands are pretty good.
01:09:50Ha ha!
01:09:50Sir, your muscles are so stiff, my hands are starting to hurt.
01:09:54Ha ha ha!
01:09:55Then go lighter!
01:09:56Ha ha ha ha!
01:09:57Ha!
01:10:00Hey, you there!
01:10:02Hold up!
01:10:03Duchess Rowan.
01:10:05Is Her Majesty in her chambers?
01:10:07Oh, she's in the Heart Nurturing Hall reviewing memorials with Master Julian.
01:10:12Duchess Rowan, is there anything you need?
01:10:16Look, Her Majesty is here!
01:10:19Huh?
01:10:20She's not...
01:10:22Oh, I guess I was seeing things.
01:10:25Go on, get back to work.
01:10:30So good.
01:10:39Master Julian, please enjoy.
01:10:41Oh, thanks.
01:10:45Hm?
01:10:47This wine smells off.
01:10:57So hot.
01:11:00It's so hot.
01:11:02Help me!
01:11:03Lena, help me!
01:11:06Lena!
01:11:08Lena!
01:11:09Help me, Lena!
01:11:11It's so hot.
01:11:12Help me!
01:11:14Is this uncle actually into me?
01:11:16I'm Her Majesty's chief maid.
01:11:18So it is my duty, when Her Majesty is busy, to share a bed in her place.
01:11:24I've liked you for so long, too.
01:11:27Could it be that tonight I'm really going to...
01:11:29Sir!
01:11:31Don't worry!
01:11:32I'll help you!
01:11:47Sir?
01:11:49Come on!
01:11:55There was an aphrodisiac in that wine.
01:11:57Someone was trying to set me up.
01:11:58I...
01:11:59I just played along, to lure her out.
01:12:01Why are you taking your clothes off?
01:12:03I...
01:12:03I thought...
01:12:04Hurry up and get dressed.
01:12:06Then we're not crying, and the one behind this will bite.
01:12:09Sir!
01:12:11You...
01:12:11You're the worst!
01:12:13Lena!
01:12:14Lena!
01:12:18Then wine had an aphrodisiac.
01:12:20Someone was clearly setting me up.
01:12:21I just played along with her trap and lured her out.
01:12:24Why are you taking your clothes off?
01:12:26I...
01:12:26I thought...
01:12:27Hurry and get dressed.
01:12:29Then we're not crying.
01:12:30The one behind this will take the bait.
01:12:32You jerk!
01:12:34You...
01:12:34You're the worst!
01:12:36Lena!
01:12:37Lena!
01:12:44Well, well.
01:12:46That fishmonger fell for it.
01:12:47He lost control and scared all the maids away.
01:12:51Hehehehe.
01:13:00Someone help me!
01:13:11Men really are all the same.
01:13:22You need a hand.
01:13:25Who are you?
01:13:27Who I am...
01:13:29Doesn't matter.
01:13:31What matters is...
01:13:33The Queen's husband...
01:13:35Is insulting the Regent Princess if word gets out...
01:13:39Her Majesty's name will be ruined.
01:13:43Oh...
01:13:45Oh...
01:13:47Easy now.
01:13:55So she is the Regent Princess.
01:13:58That old snake rollin...
01:13:59He really is generous.
01:14:02Help somebody!
01:14:04Anyone there?
01:14:04Help!

01:20:23much.
01:20:38Thank you. Thank you for loving me so much.

01:20:58You crossed the old man. Not just death. You're blind too. Can't you see that we're not flirting here? We're
01:21:05literally saying our last goodbyes.

01:21:55That is Grand Chancellor Vale. The most powerful man in the realm today. He actually can. And that is the
01:22:02Zoran Empire's Grand Marshal Gongsun Chi.
01:22:03And over there is the former Khan's brother. After Zoran defeated the raiders, he became the new Khan, Arzabuhai.
01:22:10The kings of Chu Wei and Chi. And Zoran's other vassal rulers. They all came too. This is all nations
01:22:16paying tribute.

01:22:29perv.

01:22:41Empire's family business.
