Transcript
00:01When is my little one going to hatch already?
00:03Mommy needs a night out.
00:08My baby, you're finally out.
00:10Huh?
00:11Wait a minute.
00:12Other phoenix babies are fluffy at birth.
00:15How come you're all bare like this?
00:19This little red thing does seem to be my baby after all.
00:24No wait, phoenix babies all have tiny wings.
00:27Why don't you have any wings?
00:29Did you lose them when you hatched?
00:38Are you hungry?
00:40It's mommy's fault.
00:41I should have known.
00:42I will take you to get something good, better than the sweet berries from the fox clan.
00:51Shhh, keep your voice down.
00:53This is Aurelius King's prized ambrosia orchard.
00:55The best peaches in the realm are here.
00:57We'll eat to our hearts content today.
00:59Then we run, we can't be caught.
01:06Hungry?
01:07Peach?
01:08Peach?
01:09Peach?
01:09Peach?
01:10Peach?
01:10me finish this. I'll give you a bite. Good girl. This peach is so sweet. You'll get yours soon.
01:26You mischievous phoenix again. You never learn. How dare you steal my peaches again. Spare me
01:33your majesty. Have mercy. I didn't mean it this time. I just brought my baby to see the world.
01:37Finding her something to eat on the way. You brought your baby. A reckless creature
01:41like you has no business raising a child. Calm down your majesty. I brought a gift this
01:45time to make amends. I promise you'll be pleased. I give you this child. Look your majesty.
01:55This is my very own flesh and blood. She can be your little attendant to repay you for the
01:58peaches. You. Take good care of her. I'll visit next time.
02:18A baby phoenix? Quite peculiar. You're born in human form. Your mother certainly knows
02:26how to pick a peace offering. Dumping her own baby on me and fleeing.
02:34So noisy. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk.
02:44Insolence. Show some respect. I am not someone you can just grab at as you please.
02:52Your majesty. Perhaps you could let me tend to the little one? I know a thing or two about
02:57caring for infants. Hurry. Take her away and tend to her properly and stop her from crying.
03:11Look into this baby phoenix's origins. Find out which family she belongs to. We will return
03:17her tomorrow. I have no time for this unruly brat. Yes your majesty.
03:25Your majesty. I have. I have looked into the little one's origins. But the fey realm says
03:31her bloodline is impure. She isn't of true phoenix descent. They refuse to take her back.
03:36What? They dare refuse her? Investigate again. Trace her exact lineage. Find out where she
03:42truly comes from. Even if you must search the whole fey realm. Find the truth. Yes. I will
03:47look into it at once. Milk. Milk. She's driving me crazy. Take her away. Don't cry little
03:56one. I'll feed you right now. You little monster. That is an official memorial. Not food. Unbelievable.
04:05Here's a spirit fruit. Stop biting the paper. Help me. Help me. That's it. His majesty will
04:16be angry. Such a troublemaker. Just like your mother. Forget it. I'll keep you for now.
04:24We'll decide once your lineage is clear. Good.
04:29My little lord. Those are spirit elixirs. Not candy. Too many will make your tummy burn.
04:37Yummy. Yummy.
04:40Oh you. You are nothing but mischief.
04:44Oh my dear lord. These are the threads of fate. You can't just pull on them. If you
04:50mess them up, chaos will fall.
04:56So pretty.
04:57I want the red one. With a little phoenix on it.
05:06Little one. Hold steady. Relax.
05:13Your majesty. Milk. I want milk.
05:16Go find the handmaiden.
05:18I have official duties.
05:20I can't play with you.
05:22Arya.
05:23Come here.
05:24I'll get your milk ready.
05:28Your majesty.
05:29Young beasts need milk on time.
05:31Not too much.
05:32Nor too little.
05:33You must also play with her.
05:34That way she'll grow up healthy.
05:35I know. Go on. What else should I note? Like when she had too many elixirs, what should
05:40we done?
05:41Your majesty. Are you learning how to feed me?
05:44Don't be ridiculous. I am merely checking whether the handmaiden is doing her job well.
05:48I was worried she might not care for you well enough and slow your growth.
05:52Whatever you say.
05:54Go play with the handmaiden. I must attend to my duties.
06:08Your majesty. I miss my mommy.
06:12She's probably fishing in the azure sea or stealing herbs from the west hills or maybe
06:16packing her things ready to cause trouble somewhere else.
06:18Really? Let's go find her, shall we? I want to see my mommy. I want to ask her where she's
06:23been all these years and if she's missed me at all.
06:24Alright. I will take you to find her.
06:28Your majesty. You're more reliable than mommy. Mommy only runs around, but you actually
06:33play with me, buy me fresh fruits, and even feed me my milk.
06:37Let's go. We'll check the azure sea first. We might find traces of your mother.
06:48Your majesty. Look. Is that a dragon? It's so big and majestic.
06:54Yes. They are the dragon clan of the azure sea. King Nereus is friends with your mother.
06:58He might know her whereabouts. Great. Let's go down quickly. We can ask King Nereus if he knows
07:02where mommy is. Hold still. Careful. You'll fall off. The azure sea is deep. You'll catch a cold
07:06if you fall in. Your majesty. I'll hold still. I promise. Don't worry.
07:14Welcome, your majesty. Forgive our delay. Please pardon me.
07:18No need for formalities, Nereus. I came today to ask about someone.
07:22Fiona Valerius. Have you seen her recently?
07:26And who is this?
07:31I'm the little phoenix raised by his majesty. My name is Aria Valerius. King Nereus? Have you seen
07:36my mommy? Her name is Fiona Valerius. So you're Aria. I am Orion, third son of King Nereus. You are
07:41so adorable. Shall I show you the coral garden? There are colorful corals there and little fish
07:45that glow. It's beautiful. Yes, yes. I... No rush. Let's handle our business first.
07:54Your majesty. Please join me in the main hall. Regarding the whereabouts of Fiona, I do have
07:59some information. Orion, take this young lady to the side hall for some refreshments. Treat
08:04her well. Yes, father. Come on, Aria. Let's go. I'll take you to the side hall.
08:09Aria, take this abyssal pearl. The waters of the azure sea run cold. It'll keep your clothes
08:14dry so you won't get sick. The abyssal pearl is an ancient artifact. His majesty treats her so
08:19well. Aria, look. I had all of this prepared just for you. This is crystal cake. It's made
08:26from ground pearls of the azure sea. So sweet. And these are fish fillets, freshly caught cod
08:31from the sea. Tender and tasty. You'll surely love it. What are they saying? Did you hear?
08:38Aurelius King brought a little phoenix to the palace. She is so adorable. Oh, I know. I just
08:42saw Prince Orion take that little phoenix to the side hall. Prince Orion always knows how
08:45to charm the girls. Maybe he likes that little phoenix. Aria, don't mind their gossip. They
08:51are talking nonsense. Here, let me wipe your dress. I have even better treats over here.
08:56Would you like to try some? Let me get you some broth. It's really sweet.
09:01Your majesty, why are you here?
09:06You're very kind, Prince Orion. But Aria has a weak stomach. She can't eat raw or cold
09:10seafood, lest she gets sick. That was careless of me, your majesty. Please forgive me. I won't
09:15offer her anything raw or cold again. We should go. We have to find your mother elsewhere.
09:22Orion, goodbye. I'll come see the corals with you next time.
09:28Aria. Valerius.
09:30Your majesty, to be honest, I haven't seen Fiona recently. The last time I saw her was decades
09:37ago, she came to steal my precious pearls. I caught her, and she made a huge scene with
09:43me. I haven't seen her since then.
09:45Your majesty, mommy isn't in the Azure Sea. Where do we find her?
09:49Don't be disappointed. We will look elsewhere. The high sages of the Sanctum of Light are
09:53vastly powerful. They might know where your mother is.
09:56Your majesty, you're right. High sage Sophia of the Sanctum of Light and high sage Linus are
10:01ancient beings. They must know Fiona's whereabouts. Besides, the Bodhi fruits there are
10:07tasty. Perfect for a little fairy like Aria to eat.
10:10Are they yummy? Better than peaches in your orchard?
10:13You'll know when we get there. I promise you won't be disappointed.
10:16Yeah.
10:26Perfect timing, your majesty. We are chanting prayers for blessings today. What a coincidence.
10:30And who is this little one?
10:31This is my little phoenix, Aria. I brought her out to see the world and to ask you sages about
10:36someone. Fiona Valerius, a golden red phoenix. Have any of you sages seen her?
10:40Kind sages, nice to see you. I'm looking for my mom. Her name is Fiona. She eats a lot and
10:44loves stealing. Have you seen her?
10:46What a cute child. I did see Fiona once. Decades ago she came here to steal Bodhi fruits. I
10:52caught her in the act. I gave her some advice and she left. I haven't seen her since.
10:55I see. When will I finally find my mommy?
10:59Don't rush, little one. When the time is right, you will naturally meet your mother.
11:02I hear a phoenix's true form is very beautiful. Could you show us your true form? It would
11:07be an honor to witness it.
11:09Your majesty, can I transform?
11:10Yes. Just be careful. Don't tire yourself out.
11:24What a beautiful phoenix. It's full of spiritual energy. A great destiny surely awaits her.
11:29Your majesty, do I look pretty? Mommy says our phoenix forms are the prettiest.
11:34Yes. Very pretty. Prettier than your mom.
11:36Little one, since you're looking for your mother, you could check Mount Clearlight. The
11:40Mirror of Fates is there. It reveals one's past and present. It may show you your mother's
11:44whereabouts and unveil your own past.
11:46Really? Your majesty, can we go take a look? I want to see what I was in my past life
11:49and
11:49find out where mom is.
11:50Since you want to go, we'll go to Mount Clearlight.
12:02Your majesty, is this the Mirror of Fates? Can it truly see through time?
12:06Yes. Focus your mind in front of the mirror and you will see your past and your fated one.
12:12What's a fated one? Is it like those men who hang around mom?
12:16You'll know when you see it.
12:25What? Is this me in my past life? So cute! I was a little fairy in my past life! And
12:30I could fly! Your majesty, wasn't I cute in my past life?
12:33Yes. Very cute. Just as cute as you are now.
12:37But what about my fated one? Where is he? Is he cute too? That's strange! Why is it
12:44so blurry? Your majesty, is it because I'm not focusing hard enough? I'll try again.
12:54Your majesty, what did you see? What was your past life like? And who is your fated one?
13:06It's nothing. We should go back. It's getting late. We must find your mom elsewhere.
13:12Your majesty, are you unhappy? Did I do something wrong? Or do you not want to find my mom anymore?
13:21No. I'm not unhappy. Nor have I given up on finding your mom. I was only considering where
13:26to search next so that we might find her sooner.
13:29Actually, it's okay if we don't find her. Having you here is enough for me. But I still
13:33really want to see her. I want to tell her you treat me so well.
13:44Don't worry. We will definitely find her.
13:54Your majesty, do you smell that? Smells so good. It smells sweet and warm.
14:02Yes. I smell it. Those are the foods of the mortal realm. Candied apples, roasted treats and various
14:08pastries. Things you've never had. Your majesty, can we go down and taste some? I want a sweet
14:14candied apple. And the warm roasted treats. Let's find your mom first. Once we find her,
14:21I'll take you down for mortal food. Deal? Okay then. Then let's find mommy quickly.
14:26After we find her, you must keep your promise. This is definitely your mother's style.
14:38She has to show off everywhere she goes. She even picked such a flashy name.
14:42Your majesty, let's go in. Mommy must be in there.
14:51You are so beautiful.
14:54My lady, please eat slowly. There are plenty more grapes. They are freshly picked. Very sweet.
15:01Mom? Mommy?
15:04Aria?
15:08Your majesty, you're here too. What a lovely surprise.
15:14Fiona, you certainly seem to be enjoying yourself, leaving your daughter in the heaven realm while you
15:19make merry here.
15:20Misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. Your majesty, I was finding someone to care for
15:23Aria. You know how wild I am. I'm not the nurturing type. So I wanted to find someone
15:26reliable. I didn't expect you two to get along so well. So I thought I'd let you raise her.
15:35I understand now.
15:37Kiddo, you eloped with his majesty. No wonder I couldn't find you for so long. You ran back
15:42to heaven with his majesty.
15:44What are you talking about?
15:45Your daughter missed you. I brought her here to find you, lest a mother such as yourself forget
15:50she even has a daughter.
15:52You scared me. I thought you came to settle the score for the peaches I stole 30 years
15:56ago. Kiddo, come here. Let me look at you. My baby, why are you still so small? Didn't
16:13some mother-daughter time.
16:14Huh? Will you see?
16:17Your majesty, I must go to the Sapphire Sea for singing pearls. I'm afraid I have no time
16:23to care for Aria.
16:29Yes! Absolutely no problem. Leave Aria to me. I'll take good care of her. I won't let
16:33her go hungry or suffer any wrongs.
16:35Are you leaving, your majesty? When will you come see me? I still want you to take me to
16:41eat candied apples and roasted treats.
16:45Be good. I'll come see you after settling my duties.
16:51Here are some toys inside. Play with them when you're bored. There are also fresh fruits and
16:56pastries. Eat when you're hungry. Once I have finished my official duties, I'll come see you
17:01and take you for mortal food, okay?
17:06Yes! Your majesty, you must come see me soon. Don't break your word.
17:11Rest assured. I won't lie to you. This golden light is my core spiritual power.
17:15Should you be in any danger, I will know immediately and I'll come save you right away.
17:19Did he bring half the heaven realm here? He is being far too good to my daughter.
17:24Could it be he's fallen for my daughter?
17:27Be a good girl. Take good care of yourself. I will come soon.
17:45Kiddo, you've won over the toughest man around. But that's okay. Mommy supports you.
17:53All right, all right. Stop looking like an abandoned puppy. Let's go. I'll show you what it means to have
17:59a good time.
18:01I'm going to show you all the best snacks and all the fun things. Dismissed, everyone.
18:06My daughter is the boss today. No time to play with you.
18:09Yes.
18:2317 days and 6 hours. She ran off again. Mommy is unbelievable. She's always in such a rush to leave,
18:30saying she's off to the sapphire sea for singing pearls. Last time she went for a thousand-year mushroom,
18:36she brought back a bunch of weeds. She's probably been scammed again.
18:41Honestly, how improper. A young lady squats on the roof and gnaws food.
18:48Climbing up and down, you don't act like a proper lady at all. Who would want to marry you?
18:58Mind your own business. The view's better up here, and the sun is much warmer. It's way better than being
19:03cooped up doing needlework like you. You old fossil!
19:08The mortal world has way too many rules. Good thing I've held back a lot. If this were 130
19:12years ago when I first arrived, I'd flash my phoenix tail and scare you to death.
19:27The treasures His Majesty gave me back then were all wasted by Mommy.
19:32Look! This is the new steed I bought!
19:36Help! Kiddo! Catch me!
19:39Oh, Mommy! That was just an untamed wild horse.
19:47Kiddo! It's a waste not to use His Majesty's gifts. They'll just gather dust. Better to trade
19:52them for food and fun things. What a bargain!
19:54Those were meant for me! You can't trade them for booze! He will scold you!
19:58So what? He dotes on you so much. Even if he finds out, he'll only blame me. He won't scold
20:04you.
20:05Besides, I shared half my booze with you.
20:11That pearl had the power to summon the Celestial River. And you traded it for a few jars of liquor.
20:16Mommy,
20:17you really don't care.
20:27It's been 130 years, Your Majesty. Where are you? You promised you'd come for me. You said we'd eat
20:37candied apples. And see the lantern festival. Have you forgotten?
20:43Mommy! I want to go find him! I want to see him! Take me inside quickly!
20:50Little one, stop making a fuss. The Heaven Realm has rules. We can't just barge in.
20:56My ladies, I'd like to help, but I am truly sorry. His Majesty fought in the Outer Realm and was
21:01gravely
21:01injured. He has been in seclusion since his return. It is unknown when he will emerge. No one is allowed
21:05to
21:06disturb him. Alas! See, kiddo, he has long forgotten you. He has a million things to do. He's busy keeping
21:12the realm safe. He has no time to think about a little phoenix. No! He wouldn't forget me! He said
21:20he'd come
21:21back! Alas! This is the dragon scale His Majesty took from his collar in the Azure Sea Dragon Palace.
21:37Your Majesty, you definitely still remember me, don't you?
21:44Thankfully, I still have you with me.
21:52Oops!
21:53Alright! I'll stop thinking about this. My stomach is growling.
21:58Mommy actually has a conscience this time. She left some coins.
22:12Only she would do such a thing. Hiding coins under the roast chicken. Isn't she afraid the rats would
22:17make off with them? Fresh buns for sale!
22:29Aria is here! The usual, I assume? Two bowls of spice broth noodles, extra scallions and less salt?
22:37Ma'am, let's change the order today. Just one bowl will do.
22:43Just one? Where is your mother? Doesn't she usually come with you and steal the scallions from your bowl?
22:49Huh? She ran off again. Said she's off to the Sapphire Sea for singing pearls.
22:54She'll probably play for a while before returning.
22:56Your mother really can't sit still. I'll cook you a bowl with extra scallions just for you.
23:02Thank you, ma'am.
23:22Hey! Slow down, you lot! You're ruining my noodles!
23:27Sorry about that. Aria, we're in a huge rush. Albus White finished his class. If we're late,
23:31we won't get good seats and we'll miss his lecture.
23:35Yeah, Aria. He's talking about the Book of Myths today. It's very interesting. You should come too.
23:44Albus White? How capable can he be? He made all the girls in town go crazy over him. Before leaving,
23:50Mommy urged me to go see him. I chased her out with a broom. Thinking about it now, good thing
23:54I didn't go.
23:55Aria, don't underestimate Albus. They say he's brilliant. And his looks are even more striking.
24:01He's more handsome than any gentleman painted in a scroll. The local girls are practically living
24:05at his academy these days. Huh? Handsome? Is he even as handsome as his majesty? I don't believe it.
24:10Well, whether he's handsome or not, you'll know when you see him. Anyway,
24:14many girls say that once they've seen him they can't even eat.
24:25I'm just going to see how impressive this Albus really is. It has nothing to do with curiosity about
24:29his looks. Right, just a look.
24:46Look over there. Albus is wearing cyan today. He looks even better than he did in his white robes
24:50yesterday. That's not all. His handwriting is also incredibly beautiful. Last time I begged him for
24:54one of his scrolls. I keep it by my bed and look at it every day. There are so many
24:58people. It's so
24:58crowded. What's so great to see? Forget it. I should just go back.
25:03Today, we'll discuss phoenixes from the Book of Myths. Let's talk about the Lord of Birds and its
25:09legendary rebirth through fire. About phoenixes? Why is he talking about phoenixes? And why does his
25:15voice sound so familiar?
25:27The phoenix has a male and a female form. It's said they are reborn in fire every 500 years. With
25:34wings like blazing flames, their cry echoes through the very heavens. That's not true. It's not 500
25:38years. It's a thousand. His majesty told me himself back then. The 500-year myth in the books is wrong.
25:44A true rebirth takes a thousand years of fire. Oh no! Careful, miss.
26:01Oh my! Albus is holding Aria! Aria is so lucky to be held by Albus.
26:10You put me down.
26:16I'm sorry, Albus. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to hear you talk about phoenixes.
26:21I accidentally snapped the branch. Since you're so interested in phoenix legends,
26:25I will explain them to you. Don't blame yourself. Judging by your reaction just now,
26:29you seem quite well read on the subject. Albus! Don't flatter her. Aria climbs around all day long.
26:37She can barely read. She knows nothing about phoenix legends. She's just babbling.
26:47Don't be shy, miss. Knowledge knows no hierarchy nor boundaries. Tomorrow, I'll explain the Azure Sea.
26:54Would you be willing to be my assistant? To help correct my oversights from today?
26:59Why does his aura match his majesty's? And that golden glint in his eyes? Who exactly is he?
27:08No, I can't stay here any longer.
27:14Aria, it's been a century. You're still so shy.
27:24Aria Valerius, why are you panicking? He's just a common mortal school teacher.
27:31They just look alike and have similar auras. How could it be his majesty? His majesty is still in
27:38seclusion in heaven. Get a grip. You just got a hug from a stranger. What's there to panic about?
27:44What? But his embrace felt so familiar. It was exactly how it felt when his majesty held me all those
27:53years ago.
28:15Aria, come here. Come to me. Your majesty.
28:38Aria, come here. Why did I have such a dream? Who exactly is he?
28:47Hey! Lanterns for sale!
28:57Aria! Off to Albus's lecture again! You've gone every single day this past month. More eager than the school kids.
29:07Nonsense! I'm just going to listen and to correct him whenever he makes a mistake.
29:14Oh! Aria! That butterfly hairpin is so pretty! Did you buy it especially for your visit to Albus?
29:22Absolutely not! I just thought it was pretty, so I bought it!
29:29Albus passes Willow Lane at 7.45am. He loves lunging tea the most. And he absolutely hates cilantro.
29:36He subconsciously knits his brows while lecturing. He's so patient when explaining things to struggling
29:42students. His eyes are unbelievably gentle.
29:44Alright. Today, we'll talk about merfolk tears. Legends say their tears turn into pearls. Each pearl
29:51is sparkling and translucent, worth a fortune. But these pearls aren't the most precious. It is.
29:57The tear of blood shed for their true love. Merfolk love only one person in their lifetime. Only tears shed
30:03for their true love will form a tear of blood. That tear of blood can protect their love for a
30:08lifetime.
30:16Aria, you're truly knowledgeable. That's exactly right. The tale of the merfolk's tears is known to
30:22very few. Yet you understand it so thoroughly. I just read it by chance. It's nothing. Oh no! In the
30:29heat of the moment, I blurted out a tale I read in His Majesty's study. Will he be suspicious?
30:42Aria, a moment please.
30:46Albus? Is there something else? I... I have to go home.
30:50I'm going to Mirror Lake to sketch tomorrow. I heard merfolk appear there, and the scenery is beautiful.
30:55You know a lot about merfolk legends. Would you like to come with me? You could help me identify them
31:01to see if the rumors are true. I... I have to mind the shop. My mother isn't home.
31:10No one else can watch it? It'll only take half a day. We'll leave early and return early. It won't
31:16delay you from minding the shop. At 7.45 am, I'll wait at the pier. How about it? Take this.
31:23When you see this
31:24willow leaf tomorrow, you'll know it's me.
31:41What do the merfolk in the Mirror Lake look like? The books in His Majesty's study said merfolk are good
31:46singers. Their voices soothe the soul. If mommy were home, she'd laugh her head off, saying I'm doing
31:56homework for an outing. But that's okay. I must perform well tomorrow. Can't let Albus think I'm bragging.
32:29Albus, I'm here. Get on the boat.
32:33We're about to leave.
32:37He's wearing a white gown today. He looks so handsome. He looks exactly like His Majesty.
32:43Just like how he was in the Ambrosia Orchard.
32:46What are you thinking about, Aria? You're so lost in thought.
32:50Nothing. Mirror Lake is prettier than I expected. And it's prettier than the Sapphire Sea mom mentioned.
32:58Mirror Lake is indeed beautiful. But no scenery compares to the girl before me.
33:24The rain isn't heavy, but don't catch a cold. Hold the umbrella.
33:30The rain isn't heavy, but don't catch a cold. Hold the umbrella.
33:33For the two of us.
33:36It's alright. It's enough if we stand closer.
33:51Will you come tomorrow? I'll tell tales of the Azure Sea Dragon Palace. I'm sure you'll be interested.
33:57Yes. I will definitely come.
34:03Good. Then it's a promise. I'll wait for you.
34:11What should I do? I think I care about him more and more.
34:18But who exactly is he? His Majesty is in seclusion in heaven. But he looks so much like His Majesty.
34:33Kiddo! Wake up!
34:37Look what I brought back!
34:45Stop sleeping! Get up!
34:47Mommy has huge news for you!
34:50Guess what I heard at the South Heaven Gate!
34:52What news? I'm not interested. Keep it to yourself.
34:57It's about Aurelius. I heard he went into seclusion to comprehend some heavenly philosophy.
35:03He won't be out for a thousand years.
35:06Oh. What's it to me?
35:09Oh? I've never seen this necklace before.
35:16Ah. Such strong dragon aura. This is a dragon scale.
35:22Kiddo, where did you get this?
35:27You're mistaken. It's just an ordinary necklace. No dragon aura at all.
35:35Actually, I also went to the Ninth Heaven.
35:39The Orchard Boy told me. Before His Majesty went into seclusion, he stood in the orchard for three whole days.
35:45Looking at the peach tree you love to climb. Without saying a word.
35:54Enough! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to know!
35:59He abandoned me.
36:01I thought you'd want to know. Who says he abandoned you? He clearly-
36:09Liar! You're all liars!
36:17Liar!
36:19Elvis, you're a liar too!
36:21You said you'd wait for me. Why aren't you here?
36:25Mommy was right!
36:26Waiting is the most foolish thing to do. I waited for His Majesty for 130 years. Now he's in seclusion
36:32for a thousand years.
36:34I thought you were him. I thought I wouldn't have to wait anymore. But you lied to me too.
36:43Aria, I'm sorry. I'm late.
36:50Albus! Mommy was right! Waiting is the most foolish thing to do.
37:05It's been three years. This guy is like clockwork every single day. He's more punctual than the heavenly morning bell.
37:10Wearing a white gown with a jade hairpin? He really reminds me of His Majesty back then.
37:15Goodbye, Albus! For tomorrow's Book of Songs class, you must talk about the Osprey's poem.
37:19Don't worry. I will teach it tomorrow. Take care on your way. Don't get distracted.
37:28Peeking again? Aria, your habit of peeking hasn't changed in three years.
37:34Who's peeking? I wasn't! I'm sunning my phoenix feathers! Stop talking nonsense!
38:01Are they dry yet, my little phoenix?
38:07You... What did you call me? Only His Majesty calls me by that name.
38:15Here. I brought this for you. You said the roasted chestnuts from Nutty Nook weren't sweet.
38:21I had the boss add more sugar today.
38:23I merely complained in passing. I didn't expect him to take it to heart. But who exactly is he?
38:28How does he know the name only His Majesty uses? Why is he so good to me?
38:33Aria. I want to visit your mother tomorrow. I want to tell her that I want to be with you
38:38forever.
38:41Oh! She's not home! She went to the Sapphire Sea for singing pearls! Said she's making me a pearl bracelet!
38:46I don't know when she'll be back. Every time you lie, your feathers pop out from your ears. Aria, you're
38:54busted again.
38:58Aria Valerius, it's been three years. I've been by your side for three whole years.
39:02I bring you roasted chestnuts every single day. Watching dawn and dusk with you in clear water,
39:06do you still not believe me?
39:22Aria. You must remember. You're still young and naive to the evils of the world. No matter what happens in
39:27the future, you must always remember. Only I will be completely devoted to you. I'll never lie to you.
39:31I'll always protect you. I believe you. I do believe you. But my mom really...
39:40I know where she is.
39:43She came back yesterday. She even disguised herself as a rouge peddler and peeked at me at the academy.
39:50Before leaving, she even cornered Amy to ask if I was engaged and if I had a good temper.
39:57Oh no, this is bad. Why would she peek at you there? This is embarrassing. Mom is being ridiculous.
40:04It's not embarrassing. In fact, I'm quite flattered. At least your mom cares about me.
40:10Albus White, right? I have a few questions for you. Answer honestly. Don't try to fool me.
40:16What's your background? Are your parents alive? What do you do for a living here?
40:20Well, Ms. Valerius, I am Albus White. My dad was a rogue mage in the West Hills. My mom died
40:24early.
40:25Having no one left to depend on, I came to Clearwater to open an academy. I teach students
40:28to make a living. What's your cultivation level? I sense spiritual energy ripples around you.
40:32You're not just a simple scholar. Besides, are you engaged? Do you like any girl?
40:38Mom, why ask so many questions? It's so rude. Albus is our guest. I'm asking your future husband.
40:44Don't make it complicated. Step aside. I'm checking him for you, so you don't end up being deceived.
40:50I am of little talent, just passing Mystic Stage. As for my personal life, I am not engaged.
40:57But I already have a girl in my heart. I came today to ask for your daughter,
41:01Arya Valerius, to marry me.
41:03Oh, hi!
41:08What are you saying? Who's marrying you?
41:15Are you sure? My daughter is. Never mind. You young people decide for yourselves,
41:21it's your decision to make. I won't meddle in this any further.
41:26Mom, how could you? What? Don't you want to marry him?
41:31Mom, it's been obvious that you've liked him for ages.
41:46Kiddo. Have you truly made up your mind to marry Albus?
41:51Albus treats me so well. Way better than certain people.
41:57Actually, his majesty. Don't even mention him. He's a liar.
42:00One eight hundred years. When he leaves seclusion, my very bones will have turned to ash.
42:06Okay, all right. We won't speak of him. As long as you're sure, I'll support you.
42:12Whatever you decide. I'll always be by your side.
42:24So beautiful. That's my girl. Awesome. In your bridal robes, you outshine any fairy.
42:31Mom, I'm a little scared. I'm afraid the future
42:37won't be what I imagine. I'm afraid he'll abandon me like his majesty did.
42:44Keep it on. His majesty gave it to you back then. Even if he's not here,
42:48this necklace will keep you safe forever. Don't be afraid, kiddo. Mom will always be here.
42:55Albus will treat you well, too. Miss! The parade is here! Albus is waiting for you!
43:01Albus will treat you well, too. Go now, my sweet girl. Your new life starts now.
43:27I have waited three years for this day. You're finally marrying me.
43:30Kiddo, take care of yourself. If he dares to bully you, send me a message rune.
43:34I'll burn his academy. Got it. Mom, you take care of yourself, too.
44:00You! Who are you? You're not Albus! Where is he?
44:04Aria, how have you been? That Albus you speak of? He was just a puppet conjured by my minion. I
44:10did
44:11this for the gold scale necklace and the precious blood in your body.
44:16Ah! Three years. You faked it for three whole years to trick me. All for my blood in this necklace?
44:28It wasn't all an act. When I watched you care for that puppet daily, seeing you happy for him and
44:34blushing for him, I even got confused about who I am sometimes. I almost forgot I'm Orion,
44:39the prince from the azure sea instead of that mortal Albus.
44:44Don't rush. We can't break his majesty's warding spell, but we can wait for you to take it off yourself.
44:51Or we can wait for it to lose its power. Then your precious blood will be mine.
45:02Waiting is the most foolish thing one can do. Mom, you were wrong this time.
45:08One three and twenty seven. One thousand three hundred and twenty eight. One three twenty nine.
45:14Mom, please come quickly. I'm so scared.
45:22Aria, it is time for your meal. Don't starve yourself. Otherwise, your blood will taste bad.
45:28Get lost! I won't eat your food! You liars! Go to hell!
45:32Why the struggle? Aria, the more you resist, the more it will hurt later. Just be a good girl,
45:36and I might make it quick for you. Do you know what this is? It's a needle ground from the
45:43fiend bone.
45:44It is crafted specifically to break warding spells. With this, your phoenix shield is useless.
46:00So beautiful. The golden red hot blood of a phoenix. You were indeed fed on so many heavenly gifts.
46:05Brilliant. This will surely help me break through the limits of my lineage.
46:09What are you doing? Why do you need my heart blood?
46:12Shh! Don't speak. Save your strength. I'll need more tomorrow. For forty-nine days.
46:18Once I have enough of your heart blood, I can craft the apex elixir. By then,
46:22even Aurelius himself won't be able to stop me.
46:26Kiddo! Where is my kiddo?
46:36Nereus! Get out here! If you touch my girl, I'll burn your palace to the ground!
46:43Fiona, what do you mean? When have we seen your daughter?
46:49Bullshit! Her scent is right down here!
47:02Despicable! Mom, run! Leave me!
47:09Take a good look, Aurelius. This is what happens to those who meddle in my business.
47:13Aurelius.
47:20My silly girl. Why didn't you summon me sooner?
47:25They blocked your message rune.
47:28Do you still have the necklace?
47:32Listen, when they take blood tomorrow, give me the necklace.
47:36No! It's from his majesty!
47:38That's exactly why it can save us.
47:40My true form plus his skill power can temporarily break the ward.
47:45Kiddo! I've never asked you for anything.
47:49Orion is so weak.
47:50He even needs a tool just to draw blood.
47:53What did you say? You...
47:58Oh no! Stop that phoenix!
48:04Kiddo! Hold on!
48:09I'll settle the score with that jerk!
48:14Aurelius! Get out here!
48:17Your little phoenix is dying!
48:22His majesty is in seclusion! Intruders will be executed!
48:25Aurelius King! What did you promise me back then?
48:35Without the necklace's protection, this palace is so cold!
48:39Little phoenix, do you know why I need your heart blood?
48:43It's the key to making the apex elixir.
48:46Consuming it will allow me to transcend the limits of my lineage,
48:49and transform me from a five clawed dragon into a six clawed one.
48:52In your dreams!
48:56I won't draw blood now. I'll drain your soul instead.
49:05His majesty!
49:07His majesty!
49:17What's going on?
49:37Your majesty.
49:39I'm here.
49:42I care not for the rights and wrongs.
49:45Let's see what your dragon clan can do.
49:48I care not for the rights and wrongs.
50:18Mom.
50:20The necklace.
50:21Your mom is fine.
50:23As for the necklace...
50:28You are never allowed to take it off again.
50:34Weren't you in seclusion?
50:36I finished just in time.
50:39I told you before.
50:41Orion looked at you with nothing but ill intent.
50:46Don't move.
50:48Sleep now.
50:49You'll be home when you wake up.
50:56Your majesty.
50:58You are much more handsome than Albus.
51:02Be quiet.
51:03Save your strength to heal.
51:07I've waited for this embrace so long.
51:09Silly girl.
51:10You're such a handful.
51:15Hear my order.
51:17From this day forth,
51:19Aria Valerius shall reside in Zenith Palace.
51:21And she shall be...
51:23Puss me.
