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.
00:14How 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.
00:51Shh, 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 heart's content today.
00:59Then we run.
00:59We can't be caught.
01:06Hungry peach?
01:08Peach?
01:09Easy now.
01:10Let me finish this.
01:11I'll give you a bite.
01:14I'll give you a bite.
01:16Good girl.
01:17This peach is so sweet.
01:18You'll get yours soon.
01:20Huh?
01:22Huh?
01:24Huh?
01:24Huh?
01:25Huh?
01:26Huh?
01:27Huh?
01:36Huh?
01:36My baby to see the world find her something to eat on the way.
01:39I'm found to eat on the way-
01:40You brought your baby?
01:41A reckless creature like you has no business raising a child.
01:43Calm down, your majesty.
01:44I brought a gift this time to make amends.
01:46I promise you'll be pleased.
01:48Heidi isispering to me?
01:53I'll give you this child.
01:54Look, your majesty.
01:54This is my very own flesh and blood! She can be your little attendant to repay you for the peaches!
02:04You!
02:06Take good care of her!
02:08I'll visit next time!
02:19A baby phoenix?
02:21Quite peculiar.
02:22You're born in human form.
02:24Your mother certainly knows how to pick a peace offering, dumping her own baby on me and fleeing.
02:35So noisy!
02:36Milk! 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!
02:53Perhaps you could let me tend to the little one? I know a thing or two about caring for infants.
02:58Hurry! Take her away and tend to her properly and stop her from crying!
03:12Look into this baby phoenix's origins. Find out which family she belongs to. We will return her tomorrow.
03:18I have no time for this unruly brat.
03:21Yes, Your Majesty.
03:25Your Majesty!
03:26I have... I have looked into the little one's origins.
03:30But the fey realm says her bloodline is impure.
03:33She isn't of true phoenix descent.
03:35They refuse to take her back.
03:36What? They dare refuse her?
03:39Investigate again. Trace her exact lineage.
03:41Find out where she truly comes from.
03:43Even if you must search the whole fey realm, find the truth.
03:46Yes. I will look into it at once.
03:51Milk! Milk!
03:52She's driving me crazy.
03:53Take her away.
03:55Don't cry little one.
03:56I'll feed you right now.
03:59You little monster.
04:01That is an official memorial, not food.
04:04Unbelievable.
04:05Here's a spirit fruit. Stop biting the paper.
04:15That's it. His Majesty will be angry.
04:17Such a troublemaker.
04:19Just like your mother.
04:21Forget it.
04:22I'll keep you for now.
04:24We'll decide once your lineage is clear.
04:26Good.
04:30My little lord!
04:31Those are spirit elixirs, not candy.
04:34Too many will make your tummy burn.
04:37Yummy! Yummy!
04:40Oh, you.
04:41You are nothing but mischief.
04:44Oh, my dear lord.
04:46These are the threads of fate.
04:48You can't just pull on them.
04:49If you mess them up, chaos will fall.
04:56So pretty.
04:57I want the red one.
04:59With a little phoenix on it.
05:06Little one.
05:07Hold steady.
05:09Relax.
05:13Your majesty.
05:15Milk!
05:15I want milk!
05:16Go find the handmaiden.
05:18I have official duties.
05:20I can't play with you.
05:22Aria.
05:23Come here.
05:24I'll get your milk ready.
05:28Your majesty.
05:29Your 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.
05:36I know.
05:36Go on.
05:37What else should I note?
05:38Like when she had too many elixirs.
05:40What should be done?
05:41Your majesty!
05:41Are you learning how to feed me?
05:44Don't be ridiculous.
05:45I 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.
05:54Co-play with the handmaiden.
05:56I must attend to my duties.
05:57Okay.
06:08Your majesty.
06:10I miss my mommy.
06:12She's probably fishing in the azure sea or stealing herbs from the west hills.
06:15Or maybe packing her things, ready to cause trouble somewhere else.
06:18Really?
06:19Let's go find her, shall we?
06:20I want to see my mommy.
06:22I want to ask her where she's been all these years and if she's missed me at all.
06:24Alright.
06:25I will take you to find her.
06:26Ah!
06:28Your majesty.
06:29You're more reliable than mommy.
06:31Mommy only runs around.
06:32But you actually play with me, buy me fresh fruits, and even feed me my milk.
06:37Let's go.
06:38We'll check the azure sea first.
06:40We might find traces of your mother.
06:48Your majesty.
06:49Look.
06:50Is that a dragon?
06:50It's so big and majestic.
06:54Yes.
06:55They are the dragon clan of the azure sea.
06:56King Nereus is friends with your mother.
06:58He might know her whereabouts.
07:00Great.
07:00Let's go down quickly.
07:01We can ask King Nereus if he knows where mommy is.
07:03Hold still.
07:04Careful.
07:04You'll fall off.
07:05The azure sea is deep.
07:06You'll catch a cold if you fall in.
07:07Your majesty.
07:07I'll hold still.
07:08I promise.
07:09Don't worry.
07:14Welcome, your majesty.
07:15Forgive our delay.
07:17Please pardon me.
07:18No need for formalities, Nereus.
07:20I came today to ask about someone.
07:22Fiona Valerius.
07:23Have you seen her recently?
07:27And who is this?
07:31I'm the little phoenix raised by his majesty.
07:33My name is Aria Valerius.
07:35King Nereus?
07:35Have you seen my mommy?
07:37Her name is Fiona Valerius.
07:38So you're Aria.
07:39I am Orion, third son of King Nereus.
07:41You are so adorable.
07:42Shall I show you the coral garden?
07:43There are colorful corals there and little fish that glow.
07:46It's beautiful.
07:47Yes, yes.
07:48I-
07:49No rush.
07:49Let's handle our business first.
07:54Your majesty, please join me in the main hall.
07:57Regarding the whereabouts of Fiona, I do have some information.
08:00Orion, take this young lady to the side hall for some refreshments.
08:04Treat her well.
08:04Yes, father.
08:05Come on, Aria.
08:06Let's go.
08:06I'll take you to the side hall.
08:09Aria, take this abyssal pearl.
08:11The waters of the Azure Sea run cold.
08:13It'll keep your clothes dry so you won't get sick.
08:15The abyssal pearl is an ancient artifact.
08:17His majesty treats her so well.
08:20Aria, look.
08:22I had all of this prepared just for you.
08:24This is crystal cake.
08:26It's made from ground pearls of the Azure Sea.
08:28So sweet.
08:29And these are fish fillets.
08:31Freshly caught cod from the sea.
08:32Tender and tasty.
08:33You'll surely love it.
08:35Huh?
08:36What are they saying?
08:37Did you hear?
08:38Aurelius King brought a little phoenix to the palace.
08:40She is so adorable.
08:41Oh, I know.
08:42I just saw Prince Orion take that little phoenix to the side hall.
08:44Prince Orion always knows how to charm the girls.
08:46Maybe he likes that little phoenix.
08:50Aria, don't mind their gossip.
08:51They are talking nonsense.
08:53Here, let me wipe your dress.
08:55I have even better treats over here.
08:56Would you like to try some?
08:57Let me get you some broth.
08:59It's really sweet.
09:01Your Majesty, why are you here?
09:05You're very kind, Prince Orion.
09:07But Aria has a weak stomach.
09:09She can't eat raw or cold seafood, lest she gets sick.
09:12That was careless of me, Your Majesty.
09:13Please forgive me.
09:14I won't offer her anything raw or cold again.
09:17We should go.
09:18We have to find your mother elsewhere.
09:22Orion, goodbye.
09:24I'll come see the corals with you next time.
09:29Aria, Valerius.
09:30Your Majesty, to be honest, I haven't seen Fiona recently.
09:35The last time I saw her was decades ago.
09:38She came to steal my precious pearls.
09:40I caught her, and she made a huge scene with me.
09:43I haven't seen her since then.
09:45Your Majesty, Mommy isn't in the Azure Sea.
09:48Where do we find her?
09:49Don't be disappointed.
09:50We will look elsewhere.
09:52The High Sages of the Sanctum of Light are vastly powerful.
09:54They might know where your mother is.
09:55Your Majesty, you're right.
09:57High Sage Sophia of the Sanctum of Light and High Sage Linus are ancient beings.
10:02They must know Fiona's whereabouts.
10:05Besides, the Bodhi fruits there are tasty.
10:08Perfect for a little fairy like Aria to eat.
10:10Bodhi fruits? Are they yummy?
10:10Better than peaches in your orchard?
10:13You'll know when we get there.
10:15I promise you won't be disappointed.
10:16Yeah.
10:26Perfect timing, Your Majesty.
10:28We are chanting prayers for blessings today.
10:29What a coincidence.
10:30And who is this little one?
10:31This is my little phoenix, Aria.
10:33I brought her out to see the world and to ask you sages about someone.
10:36Fiona Valerius, a golden red phoenix.
10:38Have any of you sages seen her?
10:40Kind sages, nice to see you.
10:41I'm looking for my mom.
10:43Her name is Fiona.
10:44She eats a lot and loves stealing.
10:45Have you seen her?
10:46What a cute child.
10:48I did see Fiona once.
10:50Decades ago she came here to steal Bodhi fruits.
10:52I caught her in the act.
10:53I gave her some advice and she left.
10:54I haven't seen her since.
10:55I see.
10:56When will I finally find my mommy?
10:58Don't rush little one.
11:00When the time is right you will naturally meet your mother.
11:03I hear a phoenix's true form is very beautiful.
11:05Could you show us your true form?
11:06It would be an honor to witness it.
11:09Your Majesty, can I transform?
11:11Yes.
11:11Just be careful.
11:12Don't tire yourself out.
11:24What a beautiful phoenix.
11:25It's full of spiritual energy.
11:27A great destiny surely awaits her.
11:29Your Majesty, do I look pretty?
11:31Mommy says our phoenix forms are the prettiest.
11:34Yes.
11:34Very pretty.
11:35Prettier than your mom.
11:36Little one, since you're looking for your mother,
11:38you could check Mount Clearlight.
11:40The Mirror of Fates is there.
11:41It reveals one's past and present.
11:42It may show you your mother's whereabouts and unveil your own past.
11:46Really?
11:46Your Majesty, can we go take a look?
11:48I want to see what I was in my past life and find out where mom is.
11:51Since you want to go, we'll go to Mount Clearlight.
11:55Huh?
12:02Your Majesty, is this the Mirror of Fates?
12:05Can it truly see through time?
12:06Yes.
12:07Focus your mind in front of the mirror,
12:09and you will see your past and your fated one.
12:12What's a fated one?
12:13Is it like those men who hang around mom?
12:16You'll know when you see it.
12:26Is this me in my past life?
12:27So cute!
12:28I was a little fairy in my past life!
12:30And I could fly!
12:31Your Majesty, wasn't I cute in my past life?
12:33Yes.
12:34Very cute.
12:36Just as cute as you are now.
12:37But what about my faded one?
12:39Where is he?
12:40Is he cute too?
12:42That's strange!
12:43Why is it so blurry?
12:45Your Majesty, is it because I'm not focusing hard enough?
12:47I'll try again!
12:54Your Majesty, what did you see?
12:57What was your past life like?
12:59And who is your fated one?
13:06It's nothing!
13:07We should go back!
13:08It's getting late!
13:09We must find your mom elsewhere!
13:11Your Majesty!
13:13Are you unhappy?
13:15Did I do something wrong?
13:17Or do you not want to find my mom anymore?
13:21No!
13:22I'm not unhappy!
13:23Nor have I given up on finding your mom!
13:25I was only considering where to search next,
13:27so that we might find her sooner!
13:29Actually, it's okay if we don't find her!
13:31Having you here is enough for me!
13:32But I still really want to see her!
13:34I want to tell her you treat me so well!
13:44Don't worry!
13:45We will definitely find her!
13:54Your Majesty!
13:55Do you smell that?
13:56Smells so good!
13:59It smells sweet and warm!
14:02Yes!
14:03I smell it!
14:04Those are the foods of the mortal realm!
14:06Candied apples!
14:07Roasted treats!
14:08And various pastries!
14:09Things you've never had!
14:11Your Majesty!
14:12Can we go down and taste some?
14:13I want a sweet candied apple!
14:15And the warm roasted treats!
14:18Let's find your mom first!
14:19Once we find her, I'll take you down for mortal food!
14:23Deal?
14:23Okay then!
14:24Then let's find mommy quickly!
14:26After we find her, you must keep your promise!
14:32This is definitely your mother's style!
14:38She has to show off everywhere she goes!
14:40She even picks such a flashy name!
14:42Your Majesty!
14:43Let's go in!
14:44Mommy must be in there!
14:51You are so beautiful!
14:54My lady!
14:55Please eat slowly!
14:56There are plenty more grapes!
14:58They are freshly picked!
14:59Very sweet!
15:01Mom!
15:02Mommy!
15:04Aria!
15:09Your Majesty!
15:10You're here too!
15:11What a lovely surprise!
15:15Fiona!
15:15You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself!
15:17Leaving your daughter in the Heaven Realm!
15:18While you make Mary here!
15:20Misunderstanding!
15:20It's a misunderstanding!
15:21Your Majesty!
15:22I was finding someone to care for Aria!
15:23You know how wild I am!
15:24I'm not the nurturing type!
15:25So I wanted to find someone reliable!
15:27I didn't expect you two to get along so well!
15:29So I thought I'd let you raise her!
15:35I understand now!
15:37Kiddo!
15:37You eloped with His Majesty!
15:39No wonder I couldn't find you for so long!
15:41You ran back to Heaven with His Majesty!
15:44What are you talking about?
15:45Your daughter missed you!
15:47I brought her here to find you!
15:48Lest a mother such as yourself forget she even has a daughter!
15:52You scared me!
15:53I thought you came to settle the score for the peaches I stole 30 years ago!
15:57Kiddo!
15:57Come here!
15:58Let me look at you!
15:59My baby!
16:00Why are you still so small?
16:01Didn't His Majesty feed you well?
16:02Look at you!
16:03You're nothing but skin and bones!
16:04I eat a lot every day!
16:05I eat those elixirs like candy!
16:07His Majesty often buys me fresh fruits!
16:08I'm not skinny at all!
16:10Hm!
16:10Now that we've found you, Aria will stay with you for a while!
16:13You can enjoy some mother-daughter time!
16:14Huh?
16:15Will you see?
16:17Your Majesty!
16:18I must go to the Sapphire Sea for singing pearls!
16:22I'm afraid I have no time to care for Aria!
16:29Yes!
16:30Absolutely no problem!
16:31Leave Aria to me!
16:32I'll take good care of her!
16:33I won't let her go hungry or suffer any wrongs!
16:35Are you leaving, Your Majesty?
16:37When will you come see me?
16:39I still want you to take me to eat candied apples and roasted treats!
16:45Be good!
16:46I'll come see you after settling my duties!
16:51Here are some toys inside!
16:53Play with them when you're bored!
16:55There are also fresh fruits and pastries!
16:57Eat when you're hungry!
16:58Once I have finished my official duties,
17:00I'll come see you and take you for mortal food!
17:03Okay?
17:06Yes!
17:07Your Majesty!
17:08You must come see me soon!
17:10Don't break your word!
17:11Rest assured!
17:12I won't lie to you!
17:13This golden light is my core spiritual power!
17:15Should you be in any danger,
17:17I will know immediately,
17:18and I'll come save you right away!
17:19Did he bring half the heaven realm here?
17:21He is being far too good to my daughter!
17:24Could it be he's fallen for my daughter?
17:28Be a good girl!
17:29Take good care of yourself!
17:30I will come soon!
17:33I will come soon!
17:45Kiddo!
17:46You've won over the toughest man around!
17:49But that's okay!
17:51Mommy supports you!
17:53Alright!
17:54Alright!
17:55Stop looking like an abandoned puppy!
17:57Let's go!
17:57I'll show you what it means to have a good time!
18:01I'm going to show you all the best snacks and all the fun things!
18:05Dismissed everyone!
18:06My daughter is the boss today!
18:08No time to play with you!
18:09Yes!
18:23Seventeen days and six hours!
18:25She ran off again!
18:27Mommy is unbelievable!
18:28She's always in such a rush to leave,
18:30saying she's off to the sapphire sea for singing pearls!
18:34Last time she went for a thousand-year mushroom,
18:36she brought back a bunch of weeds!
18:38She's probably been scammed again!
18:41Honestly, how improper!
18:44A young lady squats on the roof and gnaws food!
18:48Climbing up and down,
18:49you don't act like a proper lady at all!
18:52Who would want to marry you?
18:58Mind your own business!
19:00The view's better up here,
19:01and the sun is much warmer!
19:02It's way better than being cooped up doing needlework like you!
19:05You old fossil!
19:08The mortal world has way too many rules!
19:10Good thing I've held back a lot!
19:12If this were 130 years ago when I first arrived,
19:14I'd flash my phoenix tail and scare you to death!
19:27The treasures His Majesty gave me back then were all wasted by Mommy!
19:31Look!
19:32This is the new steed I bought!
19:36Help!
19:37Kiddo!
19:38Catch me!
19:39Oh Mommy!
19:41That was just an untamed wild horse!
19:46Kiddo!
19:47It's a waste not to use His Majesty's gifts!
19:50They'll just gather dust!
19:51Better to trade them for food and fun things!
19:53What a bargain!
19:54Those were meant for me!
19:55You can't trade them for booze!
19:57He will scold you!
19:58So what?
19:59He dotes on you so much!
20:01Even if he finds out, he'll only blame me!
20:03He won't scold you!
20:05Besides, I shared half my booze with you!
20:11That pearl had the power to summon the Celestial River!
20:14And you traded it for a few jars of liquor!
20:17Mommy!
20:17You really don't care!
20:27It's been a hundred and thirty years, Your Majesty!
20:31Where are you?
20:33You promised you'd come for me!
20:36You said we'd eat candied apples!
20:39And see the lantern festival!
20:41Have you forgotten?
20:43Mommy!
20:44I wanna go find him!
20:45I wanna see him!
20:47Take me inside quickly!
20:50Little one!
20:51Stop making a fuss!
20:52The Heaven Realm has rules!
20:54We can't just barge in!
20:56My ladies!
20:57I'd like to help!
20:58But I am truly sorry!
20:59His Majesty fought in the Outer Realm and was gravely injured!
21:01He has been in seclusion since his return!
21:03It is unknown when he will emerge!
21:05No one is allowed to disturb him!
21:07Alas!
21:07See, kiddo!
21:08He has long forgotten you!
21:10He has a million things to do!
21:12He's busy keeping the realm safe!
21:13He has no time to think about a little phoenix!
21:17No!
21:18He wouldn't forget me!
21:20He said he'd come back!
21:24Alas!
21:32This is the dragon scale His Majesty took from his collar in the Azure Sea Dragon Palace!
21:37Your Majesty!
21:38Your Majesty!
21:38You definitely still remember me, don't you?
21:44Thankfully!
21:45I still have you with me!
21:52Oops!
21:53Alright!
21:55I'll stop thinking about this!
21:56My stomach is growling!
21:58Mommy actually has a conscience this time!
22:01She left some coins!
22:12Only she would do such a thing!
22:14Hiding coins under the roast chicken!
22:16Isn't she afraid the rats would make off with them?
22:18Fresh bugs for sale!
22:19No!
22:28Yo!
22:29Arya is here!
22:30The usual I assume?
22:31Two bowls of spice broth noodles, extra scallions and less salt?
22:37Ma'am!
22:38Let's change the order today!
22:40Just one bowl will do!
22:43Just one?
22:44Where is your mother?
22:45Doesn't she usually come with you and steal the scallions from your bowl?
22:49Huh?
22:50She ran off again!
22:51Said 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!
22:59I'll cook you a bowl with extra scallions just for you!
23:02Thank you ma'am!
23:23Hey!
23:23Slow down you lot!
23:25You're ruining my noodles!
23:27Sorry about that!
23:28Arya, we're in a huge rush!
23:29Albus White finished his class!
23:30If we're late we won't get good seats and we'll miss his lecture!
23:35Yeah Arya!
23:35He's talking about the book of myths today!
23:37It's very interesting!
23:38You should come too!
23:44Albus White?
23:45How capable can he be?
23:47He made all the girls in town go crazy over him!
23:49Before leaving, mommy urged me to go see him!
23:51I chased her out with a broom!
23:53Thinking about it now, good thing I didn't go!
23:55Arya!
23:56Don't underestimate Albus!
23:58They say he's brilliant!
23:59And his looks are even more striking!
24:01He's more handsome than any gentleman painted in a scroll!
24:04The local girls are practically living at his academy these days!
24:06Ah!
24:07Handsome?
24:08Is he even as handsome as his majesty?
24:09I don't believe it!
24:10Well, whether he's handsome or not, you'll know when you see him!
24:14Anyway, many 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!
24:28It has nothing to do with curiosity about his looks!
24:30Right!
24:31Just a look!
24:46Look over there!
24:47Albus is wearing cyan today!
24:48He looks even better than he did in his white robes yesterday!
24:51That's not all!
24:51His handwriting is also incredibly beautiful!
24:53Last time I begged him for one of his scrolls, I keep it by my bed and look at it
24:56every day!
24:57There are so many people!
24:58It's so crowded!
24:59What's so great to see?
25:00Forget it!
25:00I should just go back!
25:04Today, we'll discuss phoenixes from the Book of Myths!
25:07Let's talk about the Lord of Birds and its legendary rebirth through fire!
25:11About phoenixes?
25:12Why is he talking about phoenixes?
25:14And why does his voice sound so familiar?
25:27The phoenix has a male and a female form!
25:31It's said they are reborn in fire every five hundred years!
25:34With wings like blazing flames, their cry echoes through the very heavens!
25:37That's not true!
25:38It's not five hundred years!
25:39It's a thousand!
25:40His Majesty told me himself back then!
25:42The five hundred year myth in the books is wrong!
25:44A true rebirth takes a thousand years of fire!
25:48Oh no!
25:50Careful, miss!
26:01Oh my!
26:02Albus is holding Aria!
26:04Aria is so lucky to be held by Albus!
26:10You put me down!
26:16I'm sorry, Albus!
26:18I didn't mean to!
26:19I just wanted to hear you talk about phoenixes!
26:21I accidentally snapped the branch!
26:23Since you're so interested in phoenix legends, I will explain them to you!
26:26Don't blame yourself!
26:28Judging by your reaction just now, you seem quite well read on the subject!
26:32Albus!
26:33Don't flatter her!
26:35Aria climbs around all day long!
26:37She can barely read!
26:38She knows nothing about phoenix legends!
26:40She's just babbling!
26:47Don't be shy, miss!
26:49Knowledge knows no hierarchy nor boundaries!
26:52Tomorrow, I'll explain the Azure Sea!
26:54Would you be willing to be my assistant?
26:55To help correct my oversights from today?
26:59Why does his aura match His Majesty's?
27:02And that golden glint in his eyes!
27:05Who exactly is he?
27:08No!
27:09I can't stay here any longer!
27:13Aria!
27:14It's been a century!
27:16You're still so shy!
27:24Aria Valerius!
27:25Why are you panicking?
27:27He's just a common mortal school teacher!
27:30They just look alike and have similar auras!
27:34How could it be His Majesty?
27:36His Majesty is still in seclusion in heaven!
27:39Get a grip!
27:41You just got a hug from a stranger!
27:43What's there to panic about?
27:46But...
27:46His embrace felt so familiar!
27:50It was exactly how it felt when His Majesty held me all those years ago!
28:15Aria!
28:17Come here!
28:19Come to me!
28:22Your Majesty!
28:37What do you think?
28:39Why did I have such a dream?
28:41Who exactly is he?

29:48tears legends say their tears turn into pearls each pearl is sparkling and translucent worth a fortune
29:53but these pearls aren't the most precious it is the tear of blood shed for their true love

30:05blood that tear of blood can protect their love for a lifetime
