00:08The river's place! It is up ahead!
00:19The pursuers are less than three miles away!
00:23At 3,000 riders!
00:24All gone! All gone!
00:27As long as we're alive, it is not over!
00:56Bladesmith! Territory!
00:59Back!
01:05Let'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!
02:03I am Leonard Whizemore of North Vale!
02:05I 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 Hawk of Stonefield. Old sir, I am not here for the throne. Stonefield City. 37,000 women,
02:23children, and the elderly. We've been out of food for seven 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.
02:33I just want those 37,000 people to live. To see. Next. Spring.
02:39Hold Mr. Rivers! Please lend us a blade!
02:52Hold Mr. Rivers. Please lend us a blade!
03:03Alright.
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 will give me
03:31half their fortune.
03:33This 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...
03:58You said you'd make the world yours.
04:01Your ambition is too great.
04:04There is no blade here for you.
04:07Leave.
04:15Finally, we've waited so long for this day.
04:18Three years ago, the late Emperor died.
04:20The Four Realms all thought our Southland was finished.
04:22Who 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.
04:38I 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. A match made in heaven.
05:08Charles, you have the doomed star fate.
05:11Only a woman with a phoenix destiny can save you.
05:14Fifteen years ago, Arthur 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?
05:26You 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.
05:56Neil!
05:58Off in the Everest!
06:00Off in the Everest!
06:02Victoria, Snow.
06:05The Snow family's debt to the Rivers is due.
06:15You say Southland owes the Rivers family a debt?
06:19What that?
06:21A marriage.
06:23How 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.
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?
06:44No rank.
06:46From Westmore.
06:47Family tradition.
06:48That figures.
06:48A commoner.
06:50And 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.
07:01Living on borrowed time.
07:02Or rather, a desperate, defeated dog.
07:05Your wealth and power today, this vast kingdom.
07:08Your grandfather kneeled before my father, bowing his head, one by one, to earn it.
07:12How dare you!
07:13Calm yourself, your majesty.
07:15Young sir.
07:16You 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.
07:31Never 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, it 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?
07:59Say that again.
08:01Damn!
08:02Blade!
08:09Phew!
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!
08:23Seize this madman!
08:32Hold on!
08:34I have proof!
08:39What proof?
08:41That winter, your grandfather begged my father for the blade.
08:45He knelt at my door for an hour.
08:47Please!
08:48Old Mr. Rivers!
08:48Lend me the blade!
08:50Please!
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.
09:11I'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.
09:27Whoever 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, Old Mr. Rivers!
09:40Thank you, Old 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.
09:58Want 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, your majesty.
10:10Do you recognize it or not?
10:14Debt, unpaid.
10:15The realm will fall.
10:16This, this 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, spreading fear.
10:27His heart deserves death.
10:28Why the rush?
10:29It is not your realm that is falling.
10:31Enough!
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.
10:59Victoria, the story of the bladesmith.
11:04Do you remember it all?
11:06I remember Grandpa!
11:08Grandpa, please, don't talk!
11:10Good.
11:11Remember it.
11:12The sovereign blade is hidden behind the plaque in the hall.
11:15Remember, if someone comes for the blade, you must, must honor the marriage pact.
11:22Do not wrong them, or else.
11:28Grandpa!
11:29Grandpa!
11:34Grandpa, 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, come.
12:13This.
12:15This.
12:16Black magic!
12:18The 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 pack, 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, I 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.
13:18Nothing to do with it.
13:19The 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.
13:42I, Victoria Snow, for all eternity, will never have anything to do with you.
13:46Fine, for all eternity, huh?
13:49Only 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.
14:13Looks like you are just a con artist.
14:36I warned you.
14:38The consequences are unthinkable.
14:41The consequences are unthinkable.
15:04The sky.
15:05The pact.
15:06Is burning.
15:07I am 67 years old.
15:09Never seen this.
15:11Mate Emperor, his spirit is with us! It is a warning!
15:17Your vow is broken.
15:19From now on, Southland's fate.
15:23The Snow Family's honor are no longer my concern.
15:28The Bladesmith lineage has a thousand-year vow.
15:32Countless have made packs over the centuries.
15:36You are the first to break one.
15:38The Thousand-Year Fortune's Backlash. Enjoy it.
15:44What do you mean?
15:49Spell it out!
15:50What do you mean?
15:52Exactly what I said.
15:56Stop! Do you think Harmony Hall is a joke?
15:58And who do you think I am?
16:00You come and go as you please!
16:01You insulted the late Emperor!
16:03You hit a blade to harm the people!
16:04You spread lies to disrupt the court!
16:06And I haven't even punished you yet!
16:08Your Majesty is wise!
16:09He practiced witchcraft in the Hall!
16:10He defiled the Hall with blood!
16:12He 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!
16:19If he is not executed, it is an outrage!
16:21Ha! We implore you, execute this sorcerer!
16:23Guides!
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!
17:05The river sword master!
17:08The sword sage!
17:10Impossible!
17:11He is attacking me!
17:13So you want to be the Empress who destroys her realm?
