00:08The river's place! It is up ahead!
00:19The pursuers are less than three miles away!
00:23By 3,000 riders!
00:24All gone! All gone!
00:27As long as we're alive, it is not over!
00:56Bladesmith! Territory!
01:00Back!
01:04Let's go! Find Mr. Rivers!
01:14Hold Mr. Rivers! Please lend us a blade!
01:21I am Arthur Snow of Greymoor! The world is in chaos! I don't lack soldiers, not generals, nor courage! What
01:30I lack is a blade to wield the Emperor's fate! I will make this world mine!
01:35I am Leonard Whizemore of North Vale! Old Sir, I am not here to conquer the world! North Vale is
01:40a harsh land! It freezes every year! Our crops fail! Our people eat grass roots! They strip bark and trade
01:46children for food! I have 100,000 soldiers! But I have no food! I have a vast domain! But nothing
01:51grows in the fields! I want the people of North Vale to have enough to eat!
01:57I am Henry Hanley of South Mark! My 3,000 riders! We're wiped out at Maple Fort three days ago!
02:04I escaped! I was the only one! My 3,000 brothers! The youngest was just 16! The night before we
02:11left, his mother chased us for miles! Just to give him two boiled eggs! I want my 3,000 brothers
02:16back!
02:16I am Edward Hawke of Stonefield! Old Sir, I am not here for the throne! Stonefield City! 37,000 women,
02:22children, and the elderly! We've been out of food for 7 days! The General is already discussing surrender! When the
02:28city falls, all men will be killed! The women will be made camp followers! The children will be sold! I
02:33don't want to be Emperor! I just want those 37,000 people to live, to see, next, straight!
02:39Old Mr. Rivers! Please lend us a blade!
02:46Old Mr. Rivers!
02:59Old Mr. Rivers!
03:18Old Mr. Rivers!
03:19This is the Fortune Blade ! It controls the world's wealth! Whoever wields it will gain endless Gold in Rival
03:25Kingdoms! In 15 years, if you're Granaries are full, return this blade to me! And your Whitmore descendants will give
03:31me half their Fortune!
03:32This is the Fate Blade, it controls life and death
03:36Whoever wields it can extend life and raise the dead
03:39In 15 years, if you are not fated to die, return this blade to me
03:43To save your people, you must die in their place
03:47This is the Heart Blade, it controls fate and love
03:51Whoever wields it will find love and ensure their lineage
03:53In 15 years, when your debt is paid, return this blade and you
03:58You said you'd make the world yours
04:01Your ambition is too great
04:03There is no blade here for you
04:06Leave
04:15Finally, we've waited so long for this day
04:17Three years ago, the late Emperor died
04:19The Four Realms all thought our Southland was finished
04:21Who could have guessed that the Grand Princess, all by herself, would save the realm
04:24Now we must call her Your Majesty
04:32Not to brag, but of the Four Realms, the most stable now is our Southland
04:36The Empress's glory is eternal
04:37I heard that, after her coronation, her top priority is choosing an Imperial Consort
04:41Look at the man behind the Empress
04:43That is Quentin the Scholar
04:45He is the Empress's most trusted confidant
04:48More than a confidant
04:50How many officials can be like him, staying by her side day and night
04:53They're a perfect match
04:55A match made in heaven
05:08Charles, you have the doomed star fate
05:10Only a woman with a phoenix destiny can save you
05:13Fifteen years ago
05:14Arthur Snow of Greymoor, Southland, took a blade from me on credit
05:19His granddaughter has the phoenix destiny
05:21Father
05:24Do I have to collect this debt?
05:25You don't have to
05:26But if you don't, when your curse mark shatters, your soul will be scattered
05:31No one to bury you
05:33No grave
05:34No marker
05:35The River's Bladesmith lineage will end with you
05:38The Millennial Bladesmith Pact is a vow
05:40And a vow must be kept
05:42Your choice
05:51She is quite a stunner
06:15You say Southland owes the River's family a debt?
06:19What that?
06:21A marriage
06:22How dare you?
06:24What madman would dare in the royal court to insult the Empress?
06:27A marriage?
06:28I've been on the throne for half a day, and already someone's here to claim kinship
06:31You've got perfect timing
06:32His brow is sharp as a blade
06:34His eyes are cold as frost
06:35Unlike the others here, those obsequious officials
06:37He is more like a wild crane from the mountains
06:39Tell me, what is your rank?
06:42Where are you from?
06:43What is your fortune?
06:45No rank
06:46From Westmore
06:47Family tradition
06:48That figures
06:49A commoner
06:49And you dare propose marriage to me?
06:53Fifteen years ago
06:54Your father wasn't emperor yet
06:55When he knelt at our door
06:57Begging for a blade
06:58He was just a warlord trapped in a single city
07:00Living on borrowed time
07:02Or rather
07:03A desperate
07:04Defeated dog
07:05Your wealth and power today
07:06This vast kingdom
07:08Your grandfather kneeled before my father
07:10Bowing his head
07:11One by one
07:11To earn it
07:12How dare you?
07:13Calm yourself
07:14Your majesty
07:15Young sir
07:16You say the late emperor
07:17Made a pact with your family
07:19What blade was it?
07:20What was the pact?
07:22Any witnesses?
07:23Any proof?
07:24And who are you?
07:25I am Quentin Drake
07:26By her majesty's grace
07:28I am the new imperial scholar
07:30Never heard of you
07:32Besides
07:33With your status
07:34You have no right to meddle in the rivers
07:37And snow family business
07:38What did you say?
07:40Enough
07:40Quentin is my most trusted minister
07:42As for you
07:44I've never heard of any bladesmith
07:46Exactly
07:46We've never heard of it
07:48Southland's prosperity today
07:50It is thanks to your majesty's tireless efforts
07:53And our unity
07:54What does some bladesmith?
07:55Or some damn bladesmith have to do with it
07:58Say that again
08:01Damn
08:02Blade
08:08Phew
08:09I told you to say it
08:11And you did
08:13Charles Rivers
08:14We forge blades
08:15We forge blades and make pacts
08:16We keep our word
08:17And collect our debt
08:18You never taught me to take it
08:19When someone calls me trash
08:20You never said to hold back
08:22Guards
08:23Seize this madman
08:32Hold on
08:34I have proof
08:35I have proof
08:40What proof?
08:41That winter
08:42Your grandfather begged my father for the blade
08:44He knelt at my door for an hour
08:47Please
08:47Old Mr. Rivers
08:48Let me the blade
08:53I am begging you
08:54Old Mr. Rivers
08:56Lend me the blade
08:59Sigh
09:01Why must you do this?
09:04Old Mr. Rivers
09:05If you won't lend me the blade
09:06I won't get up
09:07Please
09:07Old Mr. Rivers
09:09Lend me the blade
09:09Fine
09:10I'll lend you the blade
09:12But there is one condition
09:14Old Mr. Rivers
09:16Please
09:16Your granddaughter must be betrothed to my son
09:20Do you agree?
09:21I agree
09:22I agree
09:23This is the sovereign blade
09:24It holds the imperial fate
09:26Whoever wields it
09:27Can conquer all lands
09:29Stabilize the realm
09:30And rule the people
09:31In 15 years
09:32When the realm is settled
09:33Return this blade to me
09:35When your granddaughter comes of age
09:37My son will marry her
09:38Thank you
09:39Old Mr. Rivers
09:40Thank you
09:40Old Mr. Rivers
09:41I was just a boy back then
09:43But I heard it loud and clear
09:45The sound of your grandfather's head
09:47Hitting the ground
09:47It was so sharp and powerful
09:49Daphne
09:50There is no faking that
09:51Now
09:52Those two marks at my door
09:53They're still there
09:54Every time it rains
09:55You can still see faint bloodstains
09:57Want to go see for yourself
09:59See how your grandfather knelt
10:00How dare you
10:01Charles Rivers
10:02How dare you insult my grandfather
10:04Do you believe I won't kill you right now
10:07The late emperor's handwritten decree
10:08Your majesty
10:09Do you recognize it or not?
10:13Debt
10:14Unpaid
10:15The realm
10:15Will fall
10:16This
10:16This is a curse on our realm
10:18How dare you
10:18The late emperor was a great ruler
10:20He founded Southland
10:21And ruled for 15 years
10:22Who do you think you are?
10:23To insult the late emperor
10:24You are just a beggar
10:24On your knees
10:25A charlatan
10:25Spreading fear
10:26His heart deserves death
10:28Why the rush?
10:29It is not your realm that is fallen
10:30Enough
10:31My grandfather
10:32Is not to be insulted
10:33By the likes of you
10:34Who slander the late emperor
10:35And speak treason
10:36Drag him out and execute him
10:37By a thousand cuts
10:39Victoria Snow
10:40You don't believe the river's bladesmith
10:42Then why did you hide the sovereign blade behind the plaque?
10:46What nonsense are you talking?
10:47What sovereign blade?
10:48I've never seen it
10:51Look
10:58Victoria
11:00The story of the bladesmith
11:04Do you remember it all?
11:06I remember grandpa
11:07Grandpa
11:08Please
11:09Don't talk
11:10Good
11:10Remember it
11:11The sovereign blade
11:13Is hidden behind the plaque in the hall
11:15Remember
11:16If someone comes for the blade
11:18You must
11:19Must honor the marriage pact
11:21Do not wrong them
11:22Or else
11:27Grandpa
11:28Grandpa
11:34Grandpa
11:35That debt
11:35Is just too shameful
11:37It is about Southland's honor
11:39I have to make this decision myself
11:41I can't acknowledge this
11:44Ridiculous
11:45I've never heard of this sovereign blade
11:47Is it real?
11:48Take down the plaque
11:49And see
11:50Take it down
11:51You dare ask me to take it down
11:53What?
11:54Afraid?
11:55Your majesty?
11:56Then I'll get it myself
11:58Blade
11:59Come
12:13This
12:14This
12:15Black magic
12:17The blade flew to him
12:21Any more doubts about the sovereign blade?
12:24Victoria Snow
12:25Fifteen years ago
12:26Your grandfather took this blade from the Rivers family
12:28At that moment
12:29The Rivers blade smith's fate
12:31Became tied to the Snow family
12:32And Southland's destiny
12:33They are bound together
12:35If you break the pact
12:36The consequences will be unthinkable
12:37Unthinkable?
12:39That trick of yours
12:40Charles was quite a show
12:42But have any of you heard
12:44Of a kingdom's fate
12:45Being tied to a worthless blade?
12:47You haven't heard of it because you are ignorant
12:49You are long on hair
12:51Short on sense
12:52I wonder how you became a top scholar
12:53Was it through cheating?
12:55You
12:56Charles Rivers
12:57I am the chosen ruler
12:58Throughout history
12:59I am the first woman to sit on this throne
13:05You are a lowly bladesmith
13:07You could never threaten me
13:09Southland's current strength was built by me
13:11And the late emperor
13:12And by the loyal efforts of my court
13:14It has nothing to do with your rivers
13:16Late friend
13:17What a joke
13:18Nothing to do with it
13:19The snows of Southland
13:21Are just a bunch of ungrateful wretches
13:23Victoria Snow
13:25Your grandfather knelt at our door
13:27And swore the pact himself
13:28Are you going to break it?
13:30Charles Rivers
13:31Your words
13:32Are just cheap tricks and sorcery
13:34You slander the late emperor
13:35To fool the people
13:36There is no pact to break
13:39Southland and the Rivers family
13:40Have never had a pact
13:41I, Victoria Snow
13:42For all eternity
13:43We'll never have anything to do with you
13:46Fine
13:47For all eternity, huh?
13:49Only the binder can break the bond
13:50You want to break the pact
13:52Then do it yourself
13:53Break it with your blood
13:55Dare you
13:56What is to stop me?
14:04So
14:04I broke the pact
14:06So what?
14:07You broke the pact
14:08Face the consequences
14:09Really?
14:11But I
14:11Don't see any consequences
14:14Looks like you are just a con artist
14:36I warn you
14:38The consequences
14:40Are worth it
14:41They come
14:42The consequences are worth it
15:04The consequences are worth it
15:07I am 67 years old! Never seen this! Late Emperor, his spirit is with us! It is a warning!
15:17Your vow is broken. From now on, Southland's fate, the Snow Family's honor, are no longer my concern.
15:28The Bladesmith lineage has a thousand year vow countless.
15:32Have made packs over the centuries. You are the first to break one.
15:39The thousand year fortune's backlash. Enjoy it.
15:44What do you mean?
15:49Spell it out! What do you mean?
15:52Exactly what I said.
15:55Stop! Do you think Harmony Hall is a joke? And who do you think I am?
15:59You come and go as you please! You insulted the late Emperor!
16:03You hit a blade to harm the people! You spread lies to disrupt the court!
16:06And I haven't even punished you yet!
16:08Your majesty is wise. He practiced witchcraft in the hall.
16:10He defiled the hall with blood. He deceived your majesty with lies.
16:13He is still defiant, even at death's door.
16:15I implore you, execute this sorcerer to uphold the court!
16:18I second that! If he is not executed, it is an outrage!
16:21Ha! We implore you, execute this sorcerer!
16:23Guards!
16:30What a fine way to honor his spirit.
16:33With these pathetic losers, they're all useless.
16:38Get him!
17:04The sword sage! The river sword master!
17:08The sword sage! Impossible! He is attacking me!
17:13So you want to be the empress who destroys her realm.
17:17And I am not sure.
17:17As forinar!
17:17You've seen your soul a twice before!
17:17I am sure all your prayers are full!
17:18For you!
17:18So let's go to the end!
17:18You did not get some protective equipment and the secret!
