00:08The river's place! It is up ahead!
00:19The pursuers are less than three miles away!
00:22By 3,000 riders! All gone! All gone!
00:27As long as we're alive, it is not over!
00:30We're in a good walk!
00:46We're in a good walk!
00:57Bladesmith! Territory! Back!
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!
01:25I don't lack soldiers, not generals, nor courage!
01:29What I lack is a blade to wield the Emperor's fate!
01:33I will make this world mine!
01:35I am Leonard Winsmore of North Vale!
01:37Old Sir, I am not here to conquer the world!
01:39North Vale is a harsh land! It freezes every year!
01:42Our crops fail! Our people eat grass roots!
01:44They strip bark and trade children for food!
01:46I have 100,000 soldiers, but I have no food!
01:49I have a vast domain, but nothing grows in the fields!
01:52I want the people of North Vale to have enough to eat!
01:57I am Henry Hanley of Southmark!
02:00My 3,000 riders! We're wiped out at Maple Fort three days ago!
02:04I escaped! I was the only one!
02:07My 3,000 brothers! The youngest was just 16!
02:09The night before we left, his mother chased us for miles!
02:13Just to give him two boiled eggs!
02:15I want my 3,000 brothers back!
02:16I am Edward Hawk of Stonefield!
02:18Old Sir, I am not here for the throne!
02:20Stonefield City!
02:2137,000 women, children, and the elderly!
02:24We've been out of food for seven days!
02:25The general is already discussing surrender!
02:27When the city falls, all men will be killed!
02:30The women will be made camp followers!
02:31The children will be sold!
02:32I don't want to be emperor!
02:34I just want those 37,000 people!
02:36To live! To see!
02:38Next!
02:38Spring!
02:39Old Mr. Rivers!
02:40Please lend us a blade!
03:02Alright!
03:18This, is the fortune blade, it controls the world's wealth!
03:22Whoever wields it, will gain endless gold, and rival kingdoms!
03:25In 15 years, if your granaries are full, return this blade to me, and your Whitmore descendants,
03:30will give me 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!
03:54In 15 years, when your debt is paid, return this blade, and you'll...
03:58You said you'd make the world yours!
04:01Your ambition is too great!
04:04There is no blade here for you!
04:06Leave!
04:15Finally!
04:15We've waited so long for this day!
04:18Three 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!
04:38After 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!
05:15Arthur Snow of Greymoor, Southland, took a blade from me on credit!
05:19His granddaughter has the phoenix destiny!
05:21Father, do I have to collect this debt?
05:25You don't have to!
05:27But 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!
05:41And a vow must be kept!
05:42Your choice!
05:51She is quite a stunner!
05:56Kneel!
05:58Offhand me, Everest!
05:59Offhand me, Everest!
06:01Offhand me, Everest!
06:02Offhand me, Everest!
06:03Victoria, Snow!
06:05The Snow family's debt to the Rivers is due!
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!
06:33His brow is sharp as a blade, his eyes are cold as frost!
06:35Unlike the others here, those obsequious officials, he 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?
06:44No rank!
06:45From Westmore!
06:47Family tradition!
06:48That figures!
06:49A commoner!
06:49And you dare propose marriage to me!
06:53Fifteen years ago, your father wasn't emperor yet!
06:55When he knelt at our door, begging for a blade, he was just a warlord trapped in a single city!
07:00Living on borrowed time, or rather, a desperate, defeated dog!
07:05Your wealth and power today, this vast kingdom, your grandfather kneeled before my father, bowing his head, one by one,
07:11to earn it!
07:12How dare you!
07:13Calm yourself, your majesty!
07:15Young sir, you say the late emperor made 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!
07:27By her majesty's grace, I am the new imperial scholar!
07:30Never heard of you!
07:32Besides, with your status, you have no right to meddle in the rivers and snow family business!
07:38What did you say?
07:39Enough!
07:40Quentin is my most trusted minister!
07:42As for you, I've never heard of any bladesmith!
07:46Exactly!
07:47We've never heard of it!
07:48Southland's prosperity today!
07:50It is thanks to your majesty's tireless efforts and our unity!
07:54What does some bladesmith, or some damn bladesmith have to do with it?
07:58Say that again!
08:00Damn!
08:02Blade!
08:09Heal!
08:10I told you to say it!
08:11Then you did!
08:13Charles Rivers!
08:14We forge blades and make pacts!
08:16We keep our word and collect our debt!
08:18You never taught me to take it when someone calls me trash!
08:20You never said to hold back!
08:22Guards!
08:22Seize this madman!
08:31Hold on!
08:34I have proof!
08:39What proof?
08:40That winter, your grandfather begged my father for the blade!
08:45He knelt at my door for an hour!
08:46Please!
08:48Old Mr. Rivers!
08:48Lend me the blade!
08:53I am begging you!
08:55Old 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, I won't get up!
09:07Please!
09:08Old Mr. Rivers!
09:09Lend me the blade!
09:09Fine!
09:10I'll lend you the blade!
09:12But there is one condition!
09:15Old 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!
09:25It holds the imperial fate!
09:26Whoever wields it, can conquer all lands, stabilize the realm, and rule the people!
09:31In 15 years, when the realm is settled, return this blade to me!
09:35When your granddaughter comes of age, my 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, but I heard it loud and clear!
09:45The sound of your grandfather's head hitting the ground!
09:47It was so sharp and powerful!
09:49Daphne, there is no faking that!
09:51Now, those two marks at my door, they're still there!
09:54Every time it rains, you 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!
10:06The late emperor's handwritten decree, your majesty.
10:09Do you recognize it, or not?
10:13Debt!
10:14Unpaid!
10:15The realm will fall!
10:16This!
10:16This is a curse on our realm!
10:18How dare you!
10:19The late emperor was a great ruler!
10:20He founded Southland and ruled for 15 years!
10:22Who do you think you are?
10:23To insult the late emperor, you are just a beggar on your knees!
10:25A charlatan!
10:26Spreading fear!
10:26His heart deserves death!
10:28Why the rush?
10:29It is not your realm that is fallen!
10:30Enough!
10:31My grandfather is not to be insulted by the likes of you who slander the late emperor!
10:35And speak treason!
10:36Drag him out and execute him by a thousand cuts!
10:39Victoria Snow, you 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...
10:59The story of the bladesmith...
11:04Do you remember it all?
11:06I remember grandpa!
11:08Grandpa!
11:08Please!
11:09Don't talk!
11:10Good!
11:11Remember it!
11:12The sovereign blade is hidden behind the plaque in the hole!
11:15Remember!
11:16If someone comes for the blade, you must, must honor the marriage pact!
11:21Do not wrong them!
11:23Or else!
11:28Grandpa!
11:29Grandpa!
11:30Grandpa!
11:34Grandpa!
11:35Grandpa!
11:35Grandpa, that debt is 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 and 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!
11:59Blade!
11:59Come!
12:13This!
12:15This!
12:16This!
12:17Black magic!
12:17The blade flew to him!
12:21Any more doubts about the sovereign blade?
12:24Victoria Snow, 15 years ago, your grandfather took this blade from the Rivers family.
12:28At that moment, the Rivers Bladesmith's fate became tied to the Snow family and Southland's
12:33destiny.
12:34They are bound together.
12:35If you break the pact, the consequences will be unthinkable.
12:38Unthinkable?
12:39That trick of yours, Charles, was quite a show.
12:42But have any of you heard of a kingdom's fate being tied to a worthless blade?
12:47You haven't heard of it because you are ignorant.
12:49You are long on hair, short on sense.
12:52I wonder how you became a top scholar.
12:54Was it through cheating?
12:55You!
12:56Charles Rivers!
12:57I am the chosen ruler.
12:59Throughout history, I 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 and the late emperor, and by the loyal efforts
13:13of my court.
13:14It has nothing to do with your rivers, Bladesmith.
13:17What a joke, nothing to do with it.
13:20The Snows of Southland are just a bunch of ungrateful wretches.
13:24Victoria Snow, your grandfather knelt at our door and swore the pact himself.
13:29Are you going to break it?
13:30Charles Rivers, your words are just cheap tricks and sorcery.
13:34You slander the late emperor to fool the people.
13:36There is no pact to break.
13:39Southland and the Rivers family have never had a pact.
13:41I, Victoria Snow, for all eternity will never have anything to do with you.
13:46Fine, for all eternity, huh?
13:48Only the binder can break the bond.
13:51You want to break the pact, then do it yourself.
13:53Break it with your blood.
13:55Dare you!
13:56What is to stop me?
14:04So, I broke the pact.
14:06So what?
14:07You broke the pact.
14:08Face the consequences.
14:10Really?
14:11But I don't see any consequences.
14:14Looks like you are just a con artist.
14:36I warned you.
14:38The consequence
14:39I will not be able to die.
15:09Never seen this late Emperor his spirit is with us. It is a warning
15:17Your vow is broken
15:19from now on
15:22Southland's fate
15:23The snow families honor are no longer my concern
15:28The bladesmith lineage has a thousand-year vow countless have made packs over the centuries
15:36You are the first to break one
15:38The thousand-year fortunes backwash. Enjoy it
15:44What do you mean?
15:49Spell it out. What do you mean?
15:52Exactly what I said
15:56Stop do you think Harmony Hall is a joke and who do you think I am come and go as
16:00you please you insulted the late Emperor
16:02You hit a blade to harm the people you spread lies to disrupt the court
16:06And I haven't even punished you yet your majesty is wise. He practiced witchcraft in the hall
16:10He defiled the hall with blood. He deceived your majesty with lies. He 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
16:34With these pathetic losers
16:36They're all useless
16:38Get him!
17:04The sword sage! The river sword master!
17:08the sword sage impossible he is attacking me so you want to be the empress who destroys her realm
