00:00:01I'm with a great beard out of the river.
00:00:05Wow, looks like I caught a big one today.
00:00:07Whoa, what on earth is this?
00:00:12Young lady, just take me back and you'll have endless wealth and glory.
00:00:18Oh my God, is this the legendary carved spirit?
00:00:25Help! I said take me back to the palace, not send me to meet the reaper!
00:00:33Oh no, he wasn't a carp spirit after all.
00:00:50Hey, old man, don't die on me!
00:01:04Still unconscious? Forgive me!
00:01:10The reaper.
00:01:13Turns out it's a woman.
00:01:17I'm sorry, old man. I thought you were a river spirit.
00:01:19From now on, I will never listen to those customers spouting nonsense.
00:01:27I am no spirit, but I am just as powerful.
00:01:33Oh? Anyone can brag.
00:01:36Who exactly are you, old man?
00:01:41Truth be told, I am the reigning emperor.
00:01:45I had an accident traveling incognito, fell into the river, and drifted all night.
00:01:50Luckily, you fished me out, young lady.
00:01:52You did a great service saving my life.
00:01:54As long as you escort me back, you can have any reward you desire.
00:01:58I can even make you a princess if you wish.
00:02:07Has this guy lost his mind from the water?
00:02:09My grandfather was like this in his later years, too.
00:02:13One minute he claimed to be a god, and the next he said he was a fish.
00:02:17For old folks like him, I know exactly what to do.
00:02:20You just have to humor them.
00:02:27Yes, your majesty.
00:02:29You're soaked through.
00:02:30Do you want to change clothes first?
00:02:38Right.
00:02:40Help me get changed first, then summon the imperial physician.
00:02:47Why does my face hurt this much?
00:03:06Uncle Simon, this old man fell in the river.
00:03:08Help him change into something dry, and lend him some clothes.
00:03:38Tell her to come in and help me dress.
00:03:44You shameless old man, asking an unmarried young woman to dress you?
00:03:49I'll teach you a lesson.
00:03:51Calm down, Uncle Simon.
00:03:52He's clearly not in his right mind.
00:03:57Palace maids have always dressed me.
00:04:00How does that make me shameless?
00:04:03Never mind.
00:04:04I won't argue with you.
00:04:21Maid, when will you take me back?
00:04:23Where do you live?
00:04:25The capital.
00:04:26What?
00:04:27Sir, do you even know how far the capital is from here?
00:04:31Then take me to the city.
00:04:34How do we get there?
00:04:36I wouldn't know.
00:04:37I have always traveled by carriage.
00:04:40This old man has really lost his mind.
00:04:48Goodman, let us eat first.
00:04:50We can talk about getting you home later.
00:04:55Besides catching fish, I am also great at cooking them.
00:05:10Smells delicious.
00:05:11Erica, you have not made fish soup in ages.
00:05:13You must be in a good mood today.
00:05:15I pulled a drowning old man from the river today.
00:05:18I made this to warm him up.
00:05:19He is totally confused.
00:05:21He cannot even remember his name or home.
00:05:29Avert your eyes!
00:05:31How dare you stare at me!
00:05:49Have you heard?
00:05:51Erica took in an old man claiming he's the emperor.
00:05:55He has definitely lost his mind.
00:06:00Guys, have you heard anything about a missing old man lately?
00:06:06Are you sure he is not faking it just to freeload food off you?
00:06:11Just let him be.
00:06:12Feeding him will not make us go broke.
00:06:18These wooden boards are too hard.
00:06:21My back is killing me.
00:06:25He snores louder than thunder.
00:06:28How is anyone supposed to sleep?
00:06:31This fish and tofu stew tastes even better than the food in the palace.
00:06:35When I return to the palace, I will make you the head royal chef.
00:06:38Yeah, right.
00:06:39Returning to the palace?
00:06:40I think you're losing your mind.
00:06:42He is totally out of his mind.
00:06:44Stop arguing with him.
00:06:45How dare you insult me!
00:06:53I gradually realized the old man might not be crazy.
00:06:57What he said could be true.
00:07:12What would you two like to eat?
00:07:14We heard.
00:07:16You took in a drowning old man recently.
00:07:27You are looking for him?
00:07:33You are...
00:07:38Master, we are here to take you home.
00:07:41There are too many eyes out here.
00:07:43Please keep quiet for now.
00:07:45No.
00:07:53These two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:02No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:05You see?
00:08:08I was telling the truth.
00:08:12Are they really your family?
00:08:14Why do you look like you do not know them?
00:08:18I command thousands of elite troops.
00:08:21I mean thousands of servants.
00:08:22How am I supposed to know all of them?
00:08:23These men must work for one of my sons.
00:08:25There is no mistake.
00:08:32Is he really the emperor?
00:08:35Our master is not right in the head.
00:08:38Just play along with him.
00:08:41I knew it.
00:08:42If he is the emperor, then I am the king of heaven.
00:08:46Master, it is getting late.
00:08:48Let's get going.
00:08:50It is already dark.
00:08:51You two must have traveled a long way.
00:08:53Eat something before you go.
00:08:56Let me tell you.
00:08:58If you pass this up, you will never find fish this delicious anywhere else.
00:09:13I told you it was delicious.
00:09:18Fair maid.
00:09:19You took such good care of our master.
00:09:21My master will surely reward you.
00:09:24Please come with us.
00:09:27Just take my boat.
00:09:28I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52What?
00:09:53What are you doing?
00:09:55Forgive us.
00:09:55Old man, when you fell off the boat, we thought you died.
00:09:58Who knew you would be so hard to kill?
00:10:02This is regicide!
00:10:03Your entire lineage will be executed for this!
00:10:06Who is behind this?
00:10:07Hmm.
00:10:08Ignore him, Wayne.
00:10:10Tonight, we will silence every witness here.
00:10:13No one will ever know.
00:10:19Ferris, please do not be reckless.
00:10:21I'm just a fisherman.
00:10:23This has nothing to do with me.
00:10:26Please just let me go.
00:10:28That's the price for sticking your nose into this.
00:10:29You chose to take him in.
00:10:30Anyone who was involved in this mess isn't leaving here alive.
00:10:33Shame about your talent for cooking fish.
00:10:35If you were smart, you would have stayed out of this.
00:10:38Let her go!
00:10:39Stop threatening an innocent woman!
00:10:45We've been spotted!
00:10:47Kill them now!
00:10:53Dammit!
00:10:54The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:19Look who is talking about crooked ends.
00:11:22I am a legitimate business owner.
00:11:24Powerless commoners like us must have ways to defend ourselves.
00:11:30Erica, how did you figure out these two were up to no good?
00:11:36I have run my river stall for years.
00:11:39The docks are full of shady characters and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:42When they saw you, it was not relief I saw.
00:11:45Instead, they immediately gripped their weapons through their bags.
00:11:47A murderous look flashed in their eyes.
00:11:49Simon and I noticed something was wrong immediately.
00:11:51Once the food was ready, we secretly applied sleeping powder to the rims of their bowls
00:11:54and the tips of their chopsticks.
00:11:55So when we sat down to eat, they suspected nothing.
00:11:58After that, I volunteered to escort them home.
00:12:00But I was actually keeping watch.
00:12:02If we had been mistaken, we would have simply apologized to their master.
00:12:06But since we were right...
00:12:08Well, we just saved your life again.
00:12:11Will you make me a lord this time?
00:12:16They actually want me dead.
00:12:18They've tried to kill me again and again.
00:12:21How could I have been so blind?
00:12:24Hey, please do not cry.
00:12:25A man of your age should not cry.
00:12:27I was only joking earlier.
00:12:28You do not need to make me a lord.
00:12:30Of course you will be one.
00:12:31Once I deal with those traitors,
00:12:33I will not only make you a lord,
00:12:35but grant you a hereditary title.
00:12:37Save it for when we get back.
00:12:38You are rambling again.
00:12:46Let's see you escape now.
00:12:47When they wake up, we'll question them properly.
00:12:50It is useless.
00:12:51Anyone sent to kill me is ready to die.
00:12:53Once they wake up, if they cannot escape,
00:12:54they will kill themselves.
00:12:56What do we do?
00:12:57We finally caught them alive.
00:12:58We cannot just sit and watch them die.
00:13:00First, I must return to the capital
00:13:01and find the commander of the Imperial Guards.
00:13:04That man is fiercely loyal to me
00:13:05and would never betray me.
00:13:07Come on!
00:13:07You were pushed into the river right under his nose.
00:13:09How is he reliable?
00:13:10And quit talking like an emperor already.
00:13:12You are just inviting the assassins to kill us.
00:13:14Goodman, you had better change your name.
00:13:15They are in the shadows and we are in the open.
00:13:17We must be careful.
00:13:23Call me Arthur Crown, then.
00:13:25Why bother with a fake name?
00:13:26Just call yourself the emperor.
00:13:28This old man is hopeless.
00:13:37They are dead.
00:13:39I was right, was I not?
00:13:41Once their mission failed,
00:13:42if they couldn't escape,
00:13:43they were as good as dead.
00:13:45Besides knowing one of them was Jason Cole,
00:13:47we have no idea who was trying to have you killed.
00:13:49There is no need to investigate.
00:13:51Those with the best claim to the throne
00:13:52are the most suspicious.
00:13:53One of my sons must be behind this.
00:13:55Prince Dylan and Prince Eden
00:13:56are both lords in the capital
00:13:57where their power is deeply entrenched.
00:13:59Only Prince Ryan, my youngest son,
00:14:00was exiled to a remote thief long ago,
00:14:02which actually makes him the safest choice.
00:14:04I have made my decision.
00:14:05I'll go to my youngest son first.
00:14:07The waterway is faster.
00:14:08Since Uncle Simon is rowing,
00:14:10he can take us south together.
00:14:28Arthur, how can you be sure your youngest son
00:14:31is not harboring a grudge
00:14:32and plotting your murder?
00:14:34You did exile him to that distant place.
00:14:40You do not understand the situation.
00:14:42Security around me is airtight.
00:14:43Anyone who could infiltrate the imperial gods
00:14:45must have enormous power.
00:14:47Ryan has been at his fee for years.
00:14:49He lost such capabilities long ago.
00:14:52Besides, my youngest son
00:14:53has always been straightforward.
00:14:55He's too honest to scheme against anyone.
00:14:58There's no way he'd rebel.
00:15:01So you are just exploiting a decent man.
00:15:03He had no share in the wealth and glory,
00:15:04yet you seek him the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:20People say this place is lawless.
00:15:23Full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:24Looking at it now,
00:15:26that is clearly not the case.
00:15:29This old man doesn't even know his own son's land.
00:15:37Excuse me.
00:15:38Which way is Prince Ryan's estate?
00:15:40Are you here for justice or just for grain?
00:15:44What is the difference?
00:15:46If you seek justice,
00:15:47His Highness holds court for an hour every day
00:15:49specifically to receive petitions.
00:15:51If you need food and grain,
00:15:53register at the local office.
00:15:55Anyone living in this district
00:15:56can receive rations for their family,
00:15:58along with seeds for their crops.
00:16:00Judging by how you talk,
00:16:01Prince Ryan really seems like a kind man.
00:16:05You must be from out of town
00:16:07if you have not heard of Prince Ryan.
00:16:10His Highness is the Emperor's own son
00:16:12and has been our great savior.
00:16:13Yes.
00:16:14Every household has an altar to pray for him.
00:16:17We pray for his health and for his long life
00:16:20so that he may keep the people of this region safe and sound.
00:16:24I have not even earned that much respect,
00:16:26but this ungrateful son of mine already has.
00:16:28They even built altars for him.
00:16:58Are you visiting?
00:17:00from out of town?
00:17:02Goodman,
00:17:02we are here to find Prince Ryan.
00:17:04This gentleman is a distant relative of the prince.
00:17:06We have come to seek his help.
00:17:08Prince Ryan?
00:17:09He's a really great man.
00:17:10He spent years building canals
00:17:12and improving the farmland.
00:17:13He transformed this barren wasteland
00:17:15into a land of abundance.
00:17:16He certainly did.
00:17:18He reformed the local government
00:17:19and kept the law in check.
00:17:21Life is much better for us now.
00:17:23We are all grateful for the grace of the prince
00:17:24and his father, our emperor.
00:17:28Ryan,
00:17:28my long forgotten son.
00:17:31If you head straight to his estate,
00:17:34you might miss him.
00:17:35At this hour,
00:17:36he's always in the fields.
00:17:37Just follow this road ahead.
00:17:39He is at the largest rice field.
00:17:58Which one is Prince Ryan?
00:18:08I expected someone much older.
00:18:11He is clearly a handsome young man.
00:18:25Father.
00:18:36This is outrageous!
00:18:40Traitors like these deserve death by anyone!
00:18:49You both have shown great honor. You saved my father's lifetime and again. Words cannot express my gratitude.
00:18:57Please accept my bow.
00:18:58You are too kind, your highness. Now that we've brought him safely, Uncle Simon and I are done. We'll leave
00:19:03tomorrow.
00:19:14You cannot leave! I will take you to the capital and make you a princess!
00:19:30So comfortable. I have spent most of my life on the river. I am just a rough boatman always braving
00:19:35the wind and rain.
00:19:36I never expected to see the day I could live like a wealthy man with servants waiting on me.
00:19:47The Emperor is super paranoid right now. He trusts no one, except us two.
00:19:53So Prince Ryan has to treat us well.
00:19:57I recently introduced this new crop variety. This year's harvest will definitely double.
00:20:03The yield is high and the grain is excellent.
00:20:06Excellent. Feeding the people shows true leadership.
00:20:12And repaying what you owe is just the right thing to do.
00:20:15You have three days to return the farmer's money or face severe punishment.
00:20:19You are incredibly wise, your highness. You're a truly fair lord.
00:20:22He handles cases fairly and carefully. Very methodical.
00:20:27My calm, humble son, Prince Ryan, has actually achieved such great things here in this remote land.
00:20:38I completely misjudged him before.
00:20:48Erika, add more chili peppers.
00:20:51Well, I absolutely love your bold local dishes.
00:20:55They are far better than palace feasts.
00:20:58You got it. Just wait and see. I guarantee it will make you sweat.
00:21:08What are the prince and that man doing?
00:21:11Look away. Pretend you saw nothing.
00:21:16Erika, just look at this scene.
00:21:18The father is peeling garlic, the son is chopping wood, and the wife is cooking.
00:21:24You three look just like a family.
00:21:32Uncle Simon, stop talking nonsense. His highness is royalty.
00:21:35I am just an ordinary fisher. We belong to different worlds.
00:21:40If word of this gets out, we could lose our heads.
00:22:02Sigh. Why has my escort not arrived yet?
00:22:06Assassins keep coming in waves. I am going to die out here sooner or later.
00:22:20Kill them all! Leave no one alive!
00:22:24Leave my father alone!
00:22:36You're not gonna die!
00:22:37Protect me!
00:22:38Protect me!
00:22:48Father, go now!
00:22:50You ask for death?!
00:22:55You're here to die!
00:23:00Fall back.
00:23:10Ryan, my dear son.
00:23:13Are you hurt?
00:23:14I am fine.
00:23:17As long as you are safe, father.
00:23:36My son, your life is too precious.
00:23:39How could you risk yourself like this?
00:23:42Quickly, send someone else to protect me.
00:23:51Father, your life is the one that truly matters.
00:23:53As your son and your subject, I would gladly give my life for you.
00:23:56Nonsense! Stop talking about dying!
00:23:58You will rule the Empire one day!
00:24:00How can you just die?
00:24:08I...
00:24:09I will take my leave now.
00:24:18Sigh.
00:24:19What a blockhead.
00:24:21Shouldn't he swear his loyalty right now and at least pretend to decline?
00:24:24No wonder he has been stuck in this wasteland and forgotten by everyone all these years.
00:24:34Erica.
00:24:35For the past few days, I have been meaning to ask you.
00:24:39Do you want to be a princess?
00:24:41Or do you want to be my daughter-in-law?
00:24:44So his majesty actually heard what Uncle Simon said that day.
00:24:49No offense, your majesty.
00:24:51But I have no desire to live a life full of constant fear.
00:24:54If you truly wish to reward me, just give me some food and money.
00:24:57I would rather live a free and easy life.
00:25:07You make a fair point.
00:25:10If you actually became my daughter-in-law, it would be highly improper to have you cook
00:25:14fish for me every day.
00:25:20He is always thinking about his next meal.
00:25:22What a gluttonous old man.
00:25:33If anyone dares to harm our prince, we will fight them to the death.
00:25:36That is right.
00:25:37Protect the prince and protect the emperor.
00:25:40Charge!
00:25:42Charge!
00:25:42Charge!
00:25:46Charge!
00:25:49Charge!
00:25:57With a defense like this, not even a single fly could get through.
00:26:14After two weeks of such a massive search, the Imperial Escort has finally arrived.
00:26:30Your Majesty, now that you're safe, I can finally rest in peace.
00:26:39That is enough. Stop all this weeping.
00:26:42If anyone deserves thanks, it's Erica. Without her, I'd be dead ten times over.
00:26:59Thank you for saving the life of the Emperor. I shall never forget your kindness.
00:27:02It was nothing. Please stand up, Commander Wood.
00:27:19Listen to my decree. We return to the capital at once.
00:27:28Ryan!
00:27:31You shall return with me.
00:27:36I obey your command, Father.
00:27:43Your Highness, please return to us soon.
00:27:48We cannot bear to see you leave.
00:27:57My fellow citizens, do not be sad.
00:28:01I will send an official of great integrity.
00:28:03I'll send an upright official who will treat everyone like family.
00:28:09As for Prince Ryan, the one you all admire, one thief is too small for his ambitions.
00:28:15I will entrust him with far greater duties.
00:28:19I hope he will not fail my expectations.
00:28:29It seems Prince Ryan is destined for greatness.
00:28:57I remember our first few days at the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:29:00That blockhead always came to me for advice on dealing with his father.
00:29:12He is your own father, how can you not know his temper and preferences?
00:29:22He is the supreme emperor.
00:29:24I however am just a neglected prince.
00:29:29I hardly saw my father's face growing up.
00:29:33But I notice how you interact with him Erica, speaking so freely.
00:29:39Even Prince Dylan and Prince Eden, his favorites, never dared to be so casual in the presence
00:29:43of our father.
00:29:44Do you have a secret for this?
00:29:48Not a secret at all, I just treat the emperor like any ordinary elder.
00:29:53Think of how commoners treat the elders in their family.
00:29:57And I treat the emperor the same way.
00:29:59I understand now.
00:30:10Ryan, what are you doing?
00:30:12When a father is in danger, a son belongs by his side to protect him.
00:30:26Having the trust and gratitude of the emperor and his heir, a life of luxury is surely guaranteed.
00:30:32They might even grant you the title of the official imperial fisher.
00:30:38His father is a secret for the emperor's sake.
00:30:56Your majesty!
00:31:04Why the panic?
00:31:06Prince Dillon has rebelled!
00:31:09The rebel forces have blocked every path to the capital.
00:31:12Prince Eden has proclaimed himself king.
00:31:21You treacherous sons!
00:31:23While I was away, is this how you guard the capital for me?
00:31:31I deserve death.
00:31:34Since the emperor was missing in the river, the factions in court have already splintered.
00:31:38Prince Dillon intends to seize the throne, while Prince Eden waits to profit from the chaos.
00:31:47A foolish dream!
00:31:49Those ungrateful and arrogant sons!
00:31:52Do they think that my empire can be toppled so easily?
00:31:59Your majesty, I anticipated this. I took the tiger tally from the capital.
00:32:04Once we escape this place, we can summon the troops to crush the rebellion.
00:32:09Good! Good! Where is the nearest army?
00:32:13The Mountain City army is three days away.
00:32:17Father, the rebels of Prince Dillon have sealed every road out of this thief. We cannot leave by land.
00:32:23Our only chance is to take the river.
00:32:27However...
00:32:28However what?
00:32:29The imperial guards are all landlubbers from the capital. They only know how to fight on land. None of them
00:32:33can handle a boat.
00:32:35If we are caught on the river, we will...
00:32:42Why are you all staring at me?
00:32:44Surely you do not expect a lowly fisher to perform a miracle?
00:32:50Honestly, the imperial gold is not easily earned.
00:32:56I cannot simply watch my father face such peril. I will protect him as we fight our way out.
00:33:03Ryan! My dear son!
00:33:08I shall protect the emperor and the prince with my life on our journey to the Mountain City army.
00:33:13Sigh.
00:33:17Erica, please look at the situation.
00:33:27Fine, fine! Since we have come this far, I will see this through to the end.
00:33:30I always finish what I start. I will take everyone with me.
00:33:36Thank you, Erica! Thank you, Erica!
00:33:43I am in your debt, Erica.
00:33:57That boy is lucky indeed.
00:34:00As a prince of the realm, is he not a match for Erica?
00:34:04With the virtue and skill of Erica, any man would be blessed to have her.
00:34:11I have caused you much trouble.
00:34:17It is no trouble.
00:34:18But it is a shame that your highness must live as a lowly fisherman with me.
00:34:25In that case, please do not call me your highness. Will you call me Ryan?
00:34:30As you wish, Ryan! Let's board the boat!
00:34:34Yes, my darling.
00:34:35I am too soon, git!
00:34:42Aru!
00:34:50I am too hard!
00:34:51We will, as soon as you know.
00:34:51The king.
00:34:51The king.
00:34:52The king.
00:34:54The king.
00:34:54The king.
00:34:56The king.
00:35:00The king.
00:35:02The king.
00:35:09You are a terror on dry land, but on the water, you are a pathetic mess.
00:35:15Silence. I will protect the Emperor with my life.
00:35:20Silence. Forgive me. I... I have become a burden to everyone.
00:35:38You are truly good for nothing.
00:35:44Get him into the cabin at once. Do not let anyone suspect us.
00:35:49You are truly good for nothing.
00:36:03State your business! Stop the boat for an inspection!
00:36:15Officer?
00:36:16Officer? We are just humble fishers.
00:36:19We are taking the fish caught today to Lincoln Ward to sell.
00:36:49The river is closed today. Turn back at once.
00:36:54We have an agreement with the tavern to deliver this fresh fish. If we do not deliver the fish today,
00:36:59the fish will start to rot, and we will have to pay the tavern. Please show some mercy. Make an
00:37:04exception for us and let us pass through.
00:37:08I said no, and I mean it! A single basket of fish means nothing! Careful, or I will take your
00:37:13head!
00:37:21You useless brat! It is all your fault!
00:37:26If you had not insisted on this route, we wouldn't have missed the delivery! Now we are going to lose
00:37:32every penny!
00:37:39Heavens above! What am I going to do? I was counting on this silver to pay for my own burial!
00:37:45Now it is all gone!
00:38:00Father, please, that is enough!
00:38:08Officer, please show some mercy! The poor man is counting on this catch to survive until his final day! If
00:38:15this sail falls through, he will trade my life for his burial!
00:38:23Get moving! Move along! All that noise is giving me a headache!
00:38:31Ryan, do not take it to heart. I was a bit too rough with you just now. It was only
00:38:35a matter of necessity. However, this matter stays between the three of us. You must never mention it again.
00:39:01I am dead! I am so dead! Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:27All vessels and civilians are forbidden to pass! Stay where you are for questioning!
00:39:35This is not good! They must have discovered the decoy of my father!
00:39:37The five of us escaped in total secrecy after leaving one man in the estate of Prince Ryan. He posed
00:39:42as the emperor to distract the rebels in hopes of buying us more time.
00:39:46Now it appears that the rebels have stormed the estate of Prince Ryan. They realize the emperor was not inside,
00:39:51and that is why they intensified the search.
00:40:20What do you think you are doing?! You are not allowed to set up a stall here!
00:40:22What do you think you are doing?! You are not allowed to set up a stall here!
00:40:23Please calm down, officer. Since the river is closed today, we have nowhere else to go anyway.
00:40:26This boat is full of fresh fish caught today and they will all rot by tomorrow morning.
00:40:30Why not let me cook them right here? You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal and keep yourselves
00:40:34warm.
00:40:35Hurry up then, as we are all starving.
00:40:58Officers, you have had a long day. Come and have a taste of the fresh catch.
00:41:03We have been camping in the wild for days without a single full meal. I am absolutely famished.
00:41:06The scent of this fish is incredible. I will not be polite then.
00:41:09Your majesty, why are you so well behaved today? Are you not sneaking a bite for once?
00:41:15Do not think I did not notice. All those fish were caught right beside the boat.
00:41:48Look! Look!
00:41:52Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:42:07Jason Cole.
00:42:15That woman from the Shady Stall.
00:42:34Stop eating, everyone! The targets are here! Capture them at once!
00:42:46Stop eating, everyone! The targets are here! Capture them at once!
00:42:47That woman from the Shady Stall.
00:43:03Down!
00:43:06Down!
00:43:08Down!
00:43:09Down!
00:43:09Down!
00:43:10On!
00:43:10Down!
00:43:10You still claim you do not run a shady store. I will make you pay for this today.
00:43:22Ryan.
00:43:25I am fine.
00:43:28Well, I am not fine!
00:43:43Once he sets foot on land, he will be a formidable warrior once again. The prowess of the commander of
00:43:48the Imperial Guards is certainly not to be taken lightly.
00:44:16Your Majesty, I have come to save you!
00:44:20Move! Board the boat immediately!
00:44:41Uncle Simon, go!
00:44:53Kill the lights!
00:45:19Finally, we are back on my turf.
00:45:38They are hiding right here! The Prince said that their capture would bring a massive reward!
00:45:51Perica, what do we do now?
00:46:02Your Majesty, Ryan. Follow my lead.
00:46:22What was that noise?
00:46:31Help! There are river demons in the water!
00:46:53Oh, no!
00:46:56Oh!
00:46:57Oh, no!
00:46:58Oh, no!
00:46:59Oh, no, no!
00:47:13Oh, no!
00:47:15Oh, no!
00:47:17Oh, no!
00:47:17Oh!
00:47:17Oh!
00:47:18Oh, no!
00:47:20Oh, no!
00:47:21Do humans really exist?
00:47:32Stay back!
00:47:32Do not come any closer!
00:47:52Chief! You have finally returned!
00:48:15Chief.
00:48:17Is this band under your command?
00:48:19Yes.
00:48:22You are the chief of this crew?
00:48:29You heard them call me that, did you not?
00:48:34You are a bandit queen!
00:48:38Nonsense! We are only the anchor crew!
00:48:42Hiding a band of a thousand thieves.
00:48:45Huh?
00:48:47Somewhere in a legendary mountain.
00:48:52Commander Wood, you have been reading too many heroic fables.
00:49:06What is the matter with him?
00:49:10His pride is just wounded.
00:49:12Oh?
00:49:14He tried to play the hero just now, but he did not expect that you are far better at fighting
00:49:19than he is.
00:49:27Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law, please don't give up on my hopeless son.
00:49:32Your majesty, are you afraid of losing a daughter-in-law, or just afraid of having no fish to eat?
00:49:39A bit of both, I suppose.
00:49:46The great Prince Ryan would never fall for a wild woman like me.
00:50:11Charge!
00:50:12Charge!
00:50:13Soldiers, hear my command!
00:50:15Prince Dillon and Prince Eden have betrayed the throne.
00:50:19Preason of this magnitude shall find no mercy.
00:50:21Follow me to crush this rebellion to victory!
00:50:24TO VICTORY!
00:50:42The Emperor reclaimed the army.
00:50:43He struck the rebels at once.
00:50:45Loyalists rallied to the throne.
00:50:47They soon destroyed the power of Prince Dillon and Prince Eden.
00:50:50The Empire was secured again.
00:50:52Ryan was named the Crown Prince.
00:50:54With peace restored to the realm,
00:50:55the Emperor returned to the capital.
00:51:09Erika!
00:51:11Why did you choose to help me?
00:51:22So you figured out the truth after all.
00:51:33Eat. Do not go hungry.
00:51:35Long ago, when I was begging with Grandfather,
00:51:37we passed through the territory you ruled.
00:51:38You were just a boy, newly exiled.
00:51:41Yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like us,
00:51:43those with no home and little hope.
00:51:44Driven by that mercy, I gathered my strength and fought my way north.
00:51:47Armed with nothing but my skill in the water and a stubborn spirit that refused to break,
00:51:50I carved out a path through every hardship until I became the chief of the anchor crew.
00:51:53Our crew operates between light and shadow, which is why Simon and I often wore disguises.
00:51:57We posed as simple fishers and wine cellars just to seek out a few business opportunities.
00:51:59I never expected to save the Emperor by a mere chance.
00:52:03I did everything possible to keep him safe, waiting for the right moment to bring him to you.
00:52:07I only wanted him to see the truth for himself, to see a prince who truly serves the common people,
00:52:11and to see the perfect order you brought to this land.
00:52:16Everything that followed was quite unexpected.
00:52:18I never thought the road would be so dangerous.
00:52:20Even less did I think you'd lose your heart to me.
00:52:24Your Highness,
00:52:25you are destined to be a great leader in the future.
00:52:28Knowing that makes every sacrifice I made feel worthwhile.
00:52:35Am I nothing more than a title in your eyes?
00:52:51You are the man who will one day wear the crown.
00:52:53You should marry a lady from a noble house.
00:52:55I have been free and wild for far too long.
00:52:56I only want a simple life upon the water.
00:52:58Fate brought us together, but it was not meant to last.
00:53:03Once.
00:53:04My only dream was to be a great ruler.
00:53:06I would lead the Empire with wisdom and bring peace to the people.
00:53:10But now, I wish that I were free.
00:53:13To wander with the woman I love.
00:53:22Your Highness,
00:53:23you have your own path to follow.
00:53:25And I have mine as well.
00:53:26I am going to lead the anchor crew to become the greatest power in the world,
00:53:29while you
00:53:31must carry the weight of your people.
00:53:35I know that I cannot make you stay.
00:53:37Go now,
00:53:38and I will watch you leave.
00:53:48Ryan.
00:53:50Hmm.
00:53:55When you stood in front of me that day,
00:53:58it truly meant the world to me.
00:54:06Forget it.
00:54:07To hell with the rules.
00:54:08I am the chief after all.
00:54:09Not some refined lady from a noble house.
00:54:19Yeas tekster.
00:54:21His name Krugman
00:54:41Wolves,
00:54:58I really thought that you would follow that lad to the capital as empress.
00:55:11I am the leader of the anchor crew. Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:55:32Anyway, I've secured a grand future for the anchor crew.
00:55:37A grand future? What kind of future?
00:56:07Chief! Chief! Look, so this is the future you promised the crew?
00:56:20Chief!
00:56:20Is this truly the child of the crown prince?
00:56:24Of course.
00:56:30Perfect! The future leader of our crew has the crown prince as his father!
00:56:34Who would ever dare to cross us now? Even the authorities will have to step aside for us!
00:56:48When the emperor and the crown prince returned to the capital, they asked me what kind of reward I desired.
00:56:52I did not give them an answer.
00:56:57Because the reward that truly satisfies me is something I have already received.
00:57:19Chief! Something is wrong! The soldiers! The soldiers! They have surrounded the dock of our crew!
00:57:23Chief!
00:57:24Chief!
00:57:27Chief!
00:57:30Chief!
00:57:31Chief!
00:57:33Chief!
00:57:35Chief!
00:57:36Chief!
00:57:39Chief!
00:57:40Chief!
00:57:41Chief!
00:57:42Chief!
00:57:43Chief!
00:57:45Chief!
00:57:51Chief!
00:57:52Chief!
00:57:52Chief!
00:57:53Chief!
00:57:55Chief!
00:57:56Chief!
00:58:07Chief!
00:58:08Chief!
00:58:27Erica, since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start showing symptoms by
00:58:31now.
00:58:32Your appetite must be quite poor.
00:58:35I searched the entire capital for this.
00:58:37Preserved ginger is a miracle cure for nausea.
00:58:45Quite a grand spectacle, your highness.
00:58:47Bringing ginger with the entire imperial guards.
00:58:50The crown prince has no place at this dock when he belongs on the throne of gold.
00:58:58The throne of gold is far too cold, and it is not comfortable at all.
00:59:02I gave you my word that I would protect you for life.
00:59:06Chopping wood and building fires is a skill I have truly mastered.
00:59:12Well, well, do you all see this?
00:59:16The eye of our chief is truly sharp.
00:59:19The follow-up service is quite impressive.
00:59:21Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door.
00:59:36What are you waiting for?
00:59:37Since you are here to build fires, get to the backyard at once.
00:59:40Chop that pile of wet wood.
00:59:43Hey!
00:59:44I am going!
00:59:46I am going!
01:00:14Your Highness, have mercy.
01:00:16This is an urgent border report. The Emperor claims a headache as an excuse and insists that you review the
01:00:21matter. You must make the final decision. At least give it a single glance.
01:00:24Can you not see that I am busy? The feet of Erika are badly swollen today. I must finish this
01:00:28pile of wood quickly to boil water for her footbath.
01:00:37He is actually boiling water for a footbath. To think the Crown Prince would perform such a chore. If this
01:00:41news ever reaches the capital, the old men of the censorate will certainly die of shame.
01:00:52Just leave the reports on that large stone. Once Erika is finally in a deep sleep, I will find the
01:00:56time to review them. Nothing shall interrupt her footbath now.
01:01:09Chief. Chief! Look at that beggar over there! Why does he look exactly like that old man Arthur Crown?
01:01:15Chief!
01:01:23Erika, quick! Erika, quick! I am here! Prepare for my welcome!
01:01:41your majesty you belong on the throne in the capital why did you come here looking like this

01:03:58reports in the throne room and walk right over to the inner palace to be with you

01:05:09of the palace

01:05:16i have made my decision i will simply work twice as hard
01:05:20i can handle the throne during the day and return to this dock every night
01:05:25sean rose fast enough for the trip so i will not feel any exhaustion
01:05:32your highness please show some mercy

01:06:03dad
01:06:03dad
01:06:09Your highness, your head is bleeding.
01:06:11You are injured, so please sit and rest.
01:06:15This little bit of blood means nothing.
01:06:19Erika is in far more pain than I am.
01:06:38Push harder, chief. I can see the head now.
01:07:00Congratulations to you all.
01:07:02The chief has finally given birth.
01:07:04It is a radiant baby girl.
01:07:06Both mother and daughter are well.
01:07:16Wonderful. I finally have a granddaughter.
01:07:19I have finally gained a sweet granddaughter
01:07:21who will never grow a beard like my sons.
01:07:31She is so beautiful.
01:07:33Her features are truly delicate.
01:07:37She looks just like Erika.
01:07:39She is the perfect image of Erika.
01:07:40Fear my imperial decree.
01:07:41Every one of the anchor crew shall receive a full year of funds for fish stock.
01:07:45This reward will come from my private funds.
01:07:47Send another decree back to the capital.
01:07:48Let the entire nation celebrate.
01:07:50I want every subject of the empire to share the blessing of my granddaughter.
01:07:59Your majesty, a nationwide celebration.
01:08:02The court will surely fall into a total uproar.
01:08:06Let them fume then, as no one dares to oppose me.
01:08:08Send any who disagree to argue with me in person.
01:08:16Let them fume then, as no one dares to oppose me.
01:08:40Let them fume then, as no one dares to oppose me.

01:09:02Look at our little chief here.
01:09:04Picking up the oar during her birthday rite.
01:09:07She has only just learned how to walk yet. She already wants to rule this river for her mother
01:09:16Chief prepare for the arrival of the Emperor the Emperor has finally finished the court session after reviewing the final
01:09:21tax report
01:09:22He did not even stop to change out of the robe
01:09:24He has already worn out three horses and is racing through the mountain pass right now
01:09:32My sweetheart
01:09:34My sweetheart bring the boat to the shore now. I have caught a massive fish that silly father of yours
01:09:40is almost here tonight
01:09:41We will all enjoy a feast of tofu and fish
01:10:04Erica, the capital is far too suffocating. I have left all state affairs to the ministers so that I can
01:10:10stay here with you for two weeks
01:10:12Well, I will handle the firewood tonight. I was once just a simple fisher on this river
01:10:18With a single cast of my neck that year. I brought in the most precious catch of my life
01:10:23And I have guarded the only kingdom that truly matters
01:10:35My aunt sold me to the most vicious lone wolf hunter and pack for five silver coins on the night
01:10:41of our mating ceremony
01:10:42I sat on the edge of a broken bed fighting my lip
01:10:45I'm a wolfless omega orphan and Kane the pack says he's a curse
01:10:50His parents abandoned him as a pup and never came back. They say he walked into the shadow woods alone
01:10:56at six
01:10:56Shift for the first time at twelve and tore apart a full-grown shadow bear the scar running from his
01:11:03brow to his jaw
01:11:04That bear gave it to him. Everyone in the pack fears him. I did too
01:11:09I crossed the street when I saw him never spoke a word to him
01:11:12It's that I wondered to him never even looked him in the eye
01:11:15I never thought my aunt would sell me to him. No gifts no feast
01:11:19I wore an old white dress and took shaky steps into his cabin
01:11:24It smelled of blood and old fur. I didn't think i'd survive tonight
01:11:29All I could hear was my aunt counting her silver
01:11:31Don't blame me ella. You're lucky anyone would take you
01:11:36I stood there like a fool not knowing what to do until the door banged open. I gasped
01:11:41His leather coat was slashed open across the ribs
01:11:44The smell
