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?
01:27Huh?
01:36Huh?
01:36What are you looking for?
01:36I took my baby to see the world.
01:38Finding her something 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.
01:52I gave 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?
02:20Quite 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. I have
03:19no time for this unruly brat.
03:20Yes, your majesty.
03:25Yes, your majesty.
03:26Your majesty! I have... I have looked into the little one's origins, but the fey realm says her bloodline is
03:32impure.
03:33No. She isn't of true phoenix descent. They refuse to take her back.
03:37What?
03:37They dare refuse her?
03:39Investigate again. Trace her exact lineage. Find out where she truly comes from.
03:43Even if you must search the whole fey realm, find the truth.
03:45Yes! I will look into it at once!
03:51Milk! Milk!
03:52She's driving me crazy! Take her away!
03:55Don't cry, little one. I'll feed you right now.
03:59You little monster. That is an official memorial, not food.
04:04Unbelievable. Here's a spirit fruit. Stop biting the paper.
04:15That's it. His majesty will be angry.
04:17Such a troublemaker. Just like your mother.
04:20Forget it. I'll keep you for now.
04:24We'll decide once your lineage is clear.
04:26Good.
04:30My little lord! Those are spirit elixirs, not candy!
04:34Too many will make your tummy burn!
04:36Yummy! Yummy!
04:40Oh, you. You are nothing but mischief.
04:44Oh, my dear lord! These 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!
04:58I want the red one! With a little phoenix on it!
05:06Little one!
05:07Little one!
05:08Hold steady!
05:09Relax!
05:13Your majesty! Milk! I want milk!
05:16Go find the handmaiden!
05:17I 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!
05:29Young beasts need milk on time!
05:31Not too much!
05:32Nor too little!
05:33You must also play with her!
05:35That way she'll grow up healthy!
05:36I know! Go on!
05:37What else should I note?
05:38Like when she had too many elixirs, what should we 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!
05:51Whatever 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 or maybe packing her things ready
06:17to 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!
06:28Your majesty!
06:29You're more reliable than mommy!
06:31Mommy only runs around, but 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!
06:50Look!
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!
07:08I'll hold still!
07:08I promise!
07:09Don't worry!
07:13Welcome your majesty!
07:16Forgive 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?
07:26And who is this?
07:30Huh?
07:31I'm the little phoenix raised by his majesty!
07:33My name is Aria Valerius!
07:34King Nereus?
07:35Have you seen my mommy?
07:37Her name is Fiona Valerius!
07:38So you're Aria!
07:39I am Orion!
07:39Third 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!
07:48Yes!
07:48I-
07:49No rush!
07:49Let's handle our business first!
07:54Your majesty!
07:55Please join me in the main hall!
07:57Regarding the whereabouts of Fiona!
07:58I do have some information!
08:00Orion!
08:01Take 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!
08:10Take 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!
08:21Look!
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!
08:35What 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!
08:50Don't mind their gossip!
08:51They are talking nonsense!
08:53Here!
08:53Let 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!
09:02Why are you here?
09:06You're very kind Prince Orion!
09:07But Aria has a weak stomach!
09:09She can't eat raw or cold sea food!
09:11Lest she gets sick!
09:11That 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!
09:23Goodbye!
09:24I'll come see the corals with you next time!
09:28Aria!
09:29Valerius!
09:30Your majesty!
09:31To be honest!
09:32I 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!
09:41And she made a huge scene with me!
09:43I haven't seen her since then!
09:45Your majesty!
09:46Mommy 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!
09:56Your majesty!
09:57You'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!
10:05The Bodhi fruits there are tasty!
10:08Perfect for a little fairy like Aria to eat!
10:10Bodhi fruits?
10:10Are 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!
10:37A golden red phoenix!
10:38Have any of you sages seen her?
10:40Kind sages!
10:41Nice 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?
10:59Don'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!
11:09Can 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!
11:30Do 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!
11:37Since 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!
11:47Can 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!
12:02Your majesty!
12:03Is this the Mirror of Fates?
12:05Can it truly see through time?
12:06Yes!
12:07Focus your mind in front of the mirror and you will see your past and your fated one!
12:12What's a faded one?
12:13Is it like those men who hang around mom?
12:16You'll know when you see it!
12:20What?
12:26What?
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!
12:30Your majesty!
12:31Wasn'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 fated one?
12:39Where is he?
12:40Is he cute too?
12:42That's strange!
12:43Why is it so blurry?
12:45Your majesty!
12:45Is it because I'm not focusing hard enough?
12:47I'll try again!
12:50I'll try again!
12:51I'll try again!
12:54I'll try again!
12:55What 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!
13:29It'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!
14:17Let'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!
15:08Your majesty!
15:10You're here too!
15:10What a lovely surprise!
15:14Fiona!
15:15You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself!
15:17Leaving your daughter in the heaven realm!
15:18While you make merry 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!
15:34Oh!
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!
16:10Now 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, I'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, I will know immediately and 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?
17:27Be a good girl!
17:29Take good care of yourself!
17:31I 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!
18:10Yes!
18:10Yes!
18:23Seventeen days and six hours!
18:26She 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, she 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, you don't act like a proper lady at all!
18:51Who would want to marry you?
18:56I don't know!
18:58I don't know!
18:59Mind your own business!
19:00The view's better up here, and 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!
19:11If this were 130 years 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!
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 130 years, Your Majesty!
20:31Where are you?
20:33You promised you'd come for me!
20:36You said we'd eat candied apples!
20:39You'd 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!
21:38You definitely still remember me, don't you?
21:44Thankfully!
21:45I still have you with me!
21:52Oops!
21:54Alright!
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!
22:28Yo!
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!
23:28We're in a huge rush!
23:29Albus White finished his class!
23:31If we're late, we won't get good seats!
23:32And 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!
24:54Last time I begged him for one of his scrolls!
24:55I keep it by my bed and look at it every 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!
25:03Today, 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 500 years!
25:34With wings like blazing flames, their cry echoes through the very heavens!
25:36That's not true!
25:38It's not 500 years!
25:39It's a thousand!
25:40His Majesty told me himself back then!
25:42The 500 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!
27:27It's been a century!
27:31You're still so shy!
27:34Aria!
27:35How could it be His Majesty?
27:37His 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!
27:51It was exactly how it felt when His Majesty held me all those years ago!
28:15Aria!
28:17Come here!
28:19Come to me!
28:21His Majesty!
28:22Your Majesty!
28:38Why did I have such a dream?
28:41Who exactly is he?

29:35cilantro he subconsciously knits his brows while lecturing he's so patient when explaining
29:41things to struggling students his eyes are unbelievably gentle all right today we'll talk
29:47about merfolk tears legends say their tears turn into pearls each pearl is sparkling and
29:52translucent worth a fortune but these pearls aren't the most precious it is the tear of
29:58blood shed for their true love merfolk love only one person in their lifetime only tears
30:03shed for their true love will form a tear of blood that tear of blood can protect their
30:08love for a lifetime

30:34suspicious
30:42aria aria ariya a moment please
30:46az ups cPorz
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
30:56You know a lot about merfolk legends.
30:58Would you like to come with me?
31:00You could help me identify them to see if the rumors are true.
31:05I... I have to mind the shop.
31:07My mother isn't home.
31:10No one else can watch it.
31:12It'll only take half a day.
31:14We'll leave early and return early.
31:16It won't delay you from minding the shop.
31:18At 7.45am, I'll wait at the pier.
31:20How about it?
31:22Take this.
31:23When you see this willow leave tomorrow,
31:25you'll know it's me.
31:41What do the merfolk in the Mirror Lake look like?
31:44The books in His Majesty's study said merfolk are good singers.
31:47Their voices soothe the soul.
31:52If Mommy were home, she'd laugh her head off.
31:55Saying I'm doing homework for an outing.
31:58But that's okay.
31:59I must perform well tomorrow.
32:01Can't let Albus think I'm bragging.
32:29Albus, I'm here.
32:32Get on the boat.
32:33We're about to leave.
32:37He's wearing a white gown today.
32:39He looks so handsome.
32:41He looks exactly like His Majesty.
32:43Just like how he was in the Ambrosia Orchard.
32:46What are you thinking about, Arya?
32:48You're so lost in thought.
32:49Nothing.
32:51Mirror Lake is prettier than I expected.
32:53And it's prettier than the Sapphire Sea Mom mentioned.
32:58Mirror Lake is indeed beautiful.
32:59But no scenery compares to the girl before me.
33:24The rain isn't heavy.
33:25But don't catch a cold.
33:27Hold the umbrella.
33:30This umbrella is too small.
33:32It's not big enough for the two of us.
33:36It's alright.
33:37It's enough if we stand closer.
33:51Will you come tomorrow?
33:52I'll tell tales of the Azure Sea Dragon Palace.
33:54I'm sure you'll be interested.
33:57Yes.
33:58I will definitely come.
34:03Good.
34:04Then it's a promise.
34:06I'll wait for you.
34:11I'll wait for you.
34:13What should I do?
34:14I think I care about him more and more.
34:18But who exactly is he?
34:21His Majesty is in seclusion in heaven.
34:23But he looks so much like His Majesty.
34:32Kiddo!
34:34Wake up!
34:37Look what I brought back!
34:45Stop sleeping!
34:47Get up!
34:48Mommy has huge news for you!
34:50Guess what I heard at the South Heaven Gate!
34:52What news?
34:53I'm not interested.
34:55Keep it to yourself.
34:57It's about Aurelius.
34:59I heard he went into seclusion to comprehend some heavenly philosophy.
35:03He won't be out for a thousand years.
35:06Oh.
35:07What's it to me?
35:09Oh?
35:10I've never seen this necklace before.
35:16Uh.
35:18Such strong dragon aura.
35:20This is a dragon scale.
35:22Kiddo.
35:23Where did you get this?
35:27You're mistaken.
35:29It's just an ordinary necklace.
35:31No dragon aura at all.
35:35Actually.
35:36I also went to the ninth heaven.
35:39The orchard boy told me.
35:41Before His Majesty went into seclusion, he stood in the orchard for three whole days.
35:45Looking at the peach tree you love to climb.
35:48Without saying a word.
35:54Enough!
35:55I don't want to hear it!
35:56I don't want to know!
35:59He abandoned me.
36:01I thought you'd want to know.
36:02Who says he abandoned you?
36:04He clearly...
36:09Liars!
36:10You're all liars!
36:18Liars!
36:20Elvis!
36:20You're a liar too!
36:21You said you'd wait for me!
36:23Why aren't you here?
36:25Mommy was right!
36:27Waiting is the most foolish thing to do!
36:29I waited for His Majesty for a hundred and thirty years.
36:31Now he's in seclusion for a thousand years!
36:34I thought you were him!
36:36I thought I wouldn't have to wait anymore!
36:38But you lied to me too!
36:43Aria.
36:44I'm sorry.
36:46I'm late.
36:50Albus!
36:51Mommy was right!
36:53Waiting is the most foolish thing to do!
37:05It's been three years.
37:06This guy is like clockwork every single day.
37:08He's more punctual than the heavenly morning bell.
37:10Wearing a white gown with a jade hairpin?
37:12He really reminds me of His Majesty back then.
37:14Goodbye, Albus.
37:16For tomorrow's Book of Songs class, you must talk about the Osprey's poem.
37:19Don't worry.
37:20I will teach it tomorrow.
37:22Take care on your way.
37:23Don't get distracted.
37:28Peeking again?
37:28Aria.
37:30Your habit of peeking hasn't changed in three years.
37:34Who's peeking?
37:35I wasn't!
37:37I'm sunning my phoenix feathers!
37:39Stop talking nonsense!
38:01Are they dry yet, my little phoenix?
38:07You...
38:07What did you call me?
38:10Only His Majesty calls me by that name.
38:15Here.
38:16I brought this for you.
38:18You 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.
38:25I didn't expect him to take it to heart.
38:27But who exactly is he?
38:28How does he know the name only His Majesty uses?
38:31Why is he so good to me?
38:32Aria.
38:33I want to visit your mother tomorrow.
38:35I want to tell her
38:37that I want to be with you forever.
38:41Oh!
38:42She's not at home!
38:43She went to the Sapphire Sea for singing pearls!
38:45Said she's making me a pearl bracelet!
38:47I don't know when she'll be back!
38:49I don't know when she'll be back!
38:50Every time you lie,
38:51your feathers pop out from your ears!
38:53Aria!
38:54You're busted again!
38:58Aria Valerius!
38:59It's been three years!
39:00I've been by your side for three whole years!
39:02I bring you roasted chestnuts every single day!
39:05Watching dawn and dusk with you in clear water,
39:07do you still not believe me?
39:21Aria!
39:22Aria!
39:22You must remember!
39:23You're still young and naive to the evils of the world!
39:26No matter what happens in the future, you must always remember.
39:29Only I will be completely devoted to you.
39:31I'll never lie to you.
39:32I'll always protect you.
39:33I believe you.
39:35I do believe you.
39:38But my mom really...
39:39I know where she is.
39:43She came back yesterday.
39:45She even disguised herself as a rouge peddler and peeked at me at the academy.
39:49Before leaving, she even cornered Amy to ask if I was engaged and if I had a good temper.
39:57Oh no, this is bad!
39:58Why would she peek at you there?
40:00This is embarrassing!
40:02Mom is being ridiculous!
40:04It's not embarrassing.
40:06In fact, I'm quite flattered.
40:07At least your mom cares about me.
40:10Albus White, right?
40:12I have a few questions for you.
40:13Answer honestly.
40:14Don't try to fool me.
40:16What's your background?
40:18Are your parents alive?
40:19What do you do for a living here?
40:20Well, Ms. Valerius, I am Albus White.
40:23My dad was a rogue mage in the West Hills.
40:24My mom died early.
40:25Having no one left to depend on, I came to Clearwater to open an academy.
40:28I teach students to make a living.
40:29What's your cultivation level?
40:30I sense spiritual energy ripples around you.
40:32You're not just a simple scholar.
40:34Besides, are you engaged?
40:36Do you like any girl?
40:38Mom, why ask so many questions?
40:40It's so rude.
40:42Albus is our guest.
40:43I'm asking your future husband.
40:44Don't make it complicated.
40:46Step aside.
40:46I'm checking him for you, so you don't end up being deceived.
40:50I am of little talent, just passing mystic stage.
40:53As for my personal life, I am not engaged.
40:57But I already have a girl in my heart.
40:59I came today to ask for your daughter, Aria Valerius, to marry me.
41:03Oh, hi!
41:08What are you saying?
41:11Who's marrying you?
41:15Are you sure?
41:16My daughter is.
41:18Never mind.
41:20You young people decide for yourselves.
41:21It's your decision to make.
41:22I won't meddle in this any further.
41:26Mom, how could you?
41:28What?
41:29Don't you want to marry him?
41:31Mom, it's been obvious that you've liked him for ages.
41:46Kiddo.
41:47Have you truly made up your mind to marry Albus?
41:51Albus treats me so well.
41:54Way better than certain people.
41:57Actually, His Majesty.
41:59Don't even mention him.
42:00He's a liar.
42:00One eight hundred years?
42:02When he leaves seclusion, my very bones will have turned to ash.
42:06Okay, alright.
42:07We won't speak of him.
42:08As long as you're sure, I'll support you.
42:12Whatever you decide, I'll always be by your side.
42:24So beautiful.
42:26That's my girl.
42:27Awesome.
42:28In your bridal robes, you outshine any fairy.
42:31Mom, I'm a little scared.
42:34I'm afraid the future won't be what I imagine.
42:38I'm afraid he'll abandon me like His Majesty did.
42:44Keep it on.
42:45His Majesty gave it to you back then.
42:47Even if he's not here, this necklace will keep you safe forever.
42:51Don't be afraid, kiddo.
42:53Mom will always be here.
42:55Albus will treat you well, too.
42:57Miss, the parade is here.
42:59Albus is waiting for you.
43:07Go now, my sweet girl.
43:09Your new life starts now.
43:27I have waited three years for this day.
43:29You're finally marrying me.
43:30Kiddo, take care of yourself.
43:32If he dares to bully you, send me a message, Rune.
43:34I'll burn his academy.
43:36Got it.
43:37Mom, you take care of yourself, too.
44:00You, who are you?
44:01You're not Albus.
44:03Where is he?
44:04Arya, how have you been?
44:05That Albus you speak of.
44:08He was just a puppet conjured by my minion.
44:10I did this for the gold scale necklace and the precious blood in your body.
44:16Ah, three years.
44:18You faked it for three whole years to trick me.
44:23All for my blood in this necklace?
44:28It wasn't all an act.
44:30When I watched you care for that puppet daily,
44:33seeing you happy for him and blushing for him,
44:35I even got confused about who I am sometimes.
44:37I almost forgot I'm Orion,
44:39the prince from the azure sea instead of that mortal Albus.
44:44Don't rush.
44:45We can't break his majesty's warding spell,
44:48but we can wait for you to take it off yourself.
44:51Or we can wait for it to lose its power.
44:54Then your precious blood will be mine.
45:02Waiting is the most foolish thing one can do.
45:04Mom, you were wrong this time.
45:08One, three and twenty-seven.
45:10One, three hundred and twenty-eight.
45:12One, three, twenty-nine.
45:14Mom, please come quickly.
45:17I'm so scared.
45:22Aria, it is time for your meal.
45:24Don't starve yourself.
45:25Otherwise, your blood will taste bad.
45:28Get lost.
45:29I won't eat your food.
45:30You liars.
45:31Go to hell.
45:32Why the struggle?
45:33Aria, the more you resist,
45:34the more it will hurt later.
45:35Just be a good girl,
45:36and I might make it quick for you.
45:40Do you know what this is?
45:42It's a needle ground from the fiend bone.
45:44It is crafted specifically to break warding spells.
45:47With this,
45:48your phoenix shield is useless.
46:00So beautiful.
46:01The golden red heart blood of a phoenix.
46:03You were indeed fed on so many heavenly gifts.
46:05Brilliant.
46:05This will surely help me break through the limits of my lineage.
46:09What are you doing?
46:10Why do you need my heart blood?
46:12Shh.
46:13Don't speak.
46:14Save your strength.
46:15I'll need more tomorrow.
46:16For 49 days.
46:18Once I have enough of your heart blood,
46:20I can craft the apex elixir.
46:21By then,
46:22even Aurelius himself won't be able to stop me.
46:26Kiddo!
46:27Where is my kiddo?
46:37Nereus!
46:37Get out here!
46:39If you touch my girl,
46:40I'll burn your palace to the ground!
46:43Fiona!
46:45Fiona!
46:45What do you mean?
46:46When have we seen your daughter?
46:49Bullshit!
46:50Her scent is right down here!
47:02Despicable!
47:03Mom!
47:04Mom!
47:04Leave me!
47:10Take a good look, Aurelius!
47:11This is what happens to those who meddle in my business!
47:20My silly girl!
47:22Why didn't you summon me sooner?
47:25They blocked your message rune!
47:28Do you still have the necklace?
47:32Listen,
47:33when they take blood tomorrow,
47:35give me the necklace.
47:36No!
47:37It's from his majesty!
47:38That's exactly why it can save us!
47:40My true form plus his skill power
47:42can temporarily break the ward!
47:45Kiddo!
47:45I've never asked you for anything!
47:49Orion is so weak!
47:51He even needs a tool just to draw blood!
47:53What did you say?
47:54You-
47:58Oh no!
48:00Stop that, Phoenix!
48:04Kiddo!
48:05Hold on!
48:09I'll settle the score with that jerk!
48:14Aurelius!
48:15Get out here!
48:17Your little phoenix is dying!
48:22His majesty is in seclusion!
48:24Intruders will be executed!
48:25Aurelius King!
48:26What did you promise me back then?
48:36Without the necklace's protection,
48:38this palace is so cold!
48:39Little phoenix,
48:41do 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.
48:59I'll drain your soul instead.
49:05Aurelius King!
49:06His majesty!
49:17What's going on?
49:37Your majesty!
49:40I'm here.
49:42I care not for the rights and wrongs.
49:45Let's see what your dragon clan can do.
49:47I 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,
51:19Aurea Valerius shall reside in Zenith Palace.
51:22And she shall be...
51:23year...
51:24P Savior...
51:24To see.
