00:00:01I'm with a great beard out of the river.
00:00:05Wow, looks like I caught a big one today.
00:00:08Whoa, 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 carpe 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 carpe 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.
00:01:55As 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?
00:02:10My 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.
00:03:53He'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.
00:04:07I won't argue with you.
00:04:21Maid, when will you take me back?
00:04:24Where do you live?
00:04:25The capital.
00:04:26What?
00:04:27Sir, do you even know how far the capital is from here?
00:04:32Then take me to the city.
00:04:34How do we get there?
00:04:36I wouldn't know.
00:04:38I 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.
00:05:16I 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!
00:05:50Have 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.
00:06:19These 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?
00:07:15We 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.
00:07:42There are too many eyes out here.
00:07:44Please keep quiet for now.
00:07:53These two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:02No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:06You 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?
00:08:19I command thousands of elite troops.
00:08:21I mean thousands of servants.
00:08:22How am I supposed to know all of them?
00:08:24These men must work for one of my sons.
00:08:25There is no mistake.
00:08:32Is he really the emperor?
00:08:36Our 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,
00:08:44then 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,
00:08:59you will never find fish this delicious anywhere else.
00:09:13I told you it was delicious.
00:09:18Fair maid.
00:09:20You took such good care of our master.
00:09:22My 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.
00:09:52What?
00:09:53What are you doing?
00:09:55Forgive us.
00:09:56Old man,
00:09:56when you fell off the boat,
00:09:58we thought you died.
00:09:59Who 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.
00:10:09Ignore him, Wayne.
00:10:11Tonight,
00:10:11we will silence every witness here.
00:10:13No one will ever know.
00:10:19Ferris,
00:10:20please 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.
00:10:30You chose to take him in.
00:10:31Anyone who was involved in this mess
00:10:32isn't leaving here alive.
00:10:33Shame about your talent for cooking fish.
00:10:35If you were smart,
00:10:36you 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!
00:10:55The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:20Look who is talking about crooked ends!
00:11:22I am a legitimate business owner!
00:11:24Powerless commoners like us
00:11:25must have ways to defend ourselves!
00:11:30Erika,
00:11:31how did you figure out
00:11:32these two were up to no good?
00:11:37I have run my river stall for years.
00:11:39The docks are full of shady characters
00:11:41and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:43When they saw you,
00:11:43it was not relief I saw.
00:11:45Instead,
00:11:45they immediately gripped their weapons
00:11:46through their bags.
00:11:47A murderous look flashed in their eyes.
00:11:49Simon and I noticed
00:11:50something was wrong immediately.
00:11:51Once the food was ready,
00:11:52we secretly applied sleeping powder
00:11:53to the rims of their bowls
00:11:54and the tips of their chopsticks.
00:11:55So when we sat down to eat,
00:11:57they suspected nothing.
00:11:58After that,
00:11:59I volunteered to escort them home.
00:12:00But I was actually keeping watch.
00:12:02If we had been mistaken,
00:12:04we would have simply apologized
00:12:05to their master.
00:12:06But since we were right...
00:12:09Well,
00:12:09we 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,
00:12:48we'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,
00:12:53if they cannot escape,
00:12:55they 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,
00:13:00I must return to the capital
00:13:02and 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
00:13:08right 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,
00:13:14you had better change your name.
00:13:15They are in the shadows
00:13:16and 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,
00:14:00my youngest son,
00:14:01was 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.
00:14:09Since Uncle Simon is rowing,
00:14:10he can take us south together.
00:14:28Arthur,
00:14:29how can you be sure your youngest son
00:14:31is not harboring a grudge
00:14:33and 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
00:14:46must have enormous power.
00:14:48Ryan has been at his fee for years.
00:14:50He lost such capabilities long ago.
00:14:52Besides,
00:14:53my youngest son has 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,
00:15:05yet you seek him the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:20People say this place is lawless.
00:15:23Full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:25Looking at it now,
00:15:26that is clearly not the case.
00:15:30This 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
00:15:50specifically 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.
00:16:06You must be from out of town
00:16:08if 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.
00:16:14Yes.
00:16:15Every household has an altar to pray for him.
00:16:18We pray for his health and for his long life
00:16:20so that he may keep the people of this region safe and sound.
00:16:25I 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.
00:17:07We 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,
00:17:29my long forgotten son.
00:17:32If 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?
00:18:09I 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.
00:18:51You saved my father's lifetime and again.
00:18:53Words cannot express my gratitude.
00:18:57Please accept my bow.
00:18:58You are too kind,
00:18:59Your Highness.
00:19:00Now that we've brought him safely,
00:19:01Uncle Simon and I are done.
00:19:03We'll leave tomorrow.
00:19:06Hmm.
00:19:14You cannot leave.
00:19:15I will take you to the capital
00:19:17and make you a princess.
00:19:30So comfortable.
00:19:31I have spent most of my life on the river.
00:19:33I am just a rough boatman,
00:19:34always braving the wind and rain.
00:19:36I never expected to see the day
00:19:38I could live like a wealthy man
00:19:39with servants waiting on me.
00:19:47The emperor is super paranoid right now.
00:19:50He trusts no one.
00:19:51Except us two.
00:19:53So Prince Ryan has to treat us well.
00:19:58I recently introduced this new crop variety.
00:20:00This year's harvest will definitely double.
00:20:03The yield is high and the grain is excellent.
00:20:06Excellent.
00:20:07Feeding the people shows true leadership.
00:20:12And repaying what you owe
00:20:14is just the right thing to do.
00:20:15You have three days to return the farmer's money
00:20:17or face severe punishment.
00:20:19You are incredibly wise, Your Highness.
00:20:21You're a truly fair lord.
00:20:22He handles cases fairly and carefully.
00:20:25Very methodical.
00:20:28My calm, humble son, Prince Ryan,
00:20:32has actually achieved such great things
00:20:35here in this remote land.
00:20:38I completely misjudged him before.
00:20:48Erica, 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.
00:20:59Just wait and see.
00:21:00I guarantee it will make you sweat.
00:21:08What are the prince and that man doing?
00:21:11Look away.
00:21:12Pretend you saw nothing.
00:21:16Erica, just look at this scene.
00:21:18The father is peeling garlic,
00:21:20the son is chopping wood,
00:21:22and the wife is cooking.
00:21:24You three look just like a family.
00:21:32Uncle Simon, stop talking nonsense.
00:21:34His Highness is royalty.
00:21:35I am just an ordinary fisher.
00:21:37We belong to different worlds.
00:21:40If word of this gets out,
00:21:42we could lose our heads.
00:22:02Sai, why has my escort not arrived yet?
00:22:06Assassins keep coming in waves.
00:22:08I am going to die out here sooner or later.
00:22:20Kill them all!
00:22:21Leave no one alive!
00:22:24Leave my father alone!
00:22:37Protect me!
00:22:48Father, go now!
00:22:51You ask for death?
00:22:55You ask for death?
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,
00:23:55I would gladly give my life for you.
00:23:56Nonsense!
00:23:57Stop talking about dying!
00:23:58You will rule the Empire one day!
00:24:00How can you just die?
00:24:09I will take my leave now.
00:24:18Sigh.
00:24:20What a blockhead.
00:24:21Shouldn't he swear his loyalty right now
00:24:22and at least pretend to decline?
00:24:24No wonder he has been stuck in this wasteland
00:24:26and forgotten by everyone all these years.
00:24:34Erica.
00:24:35For the past few days,
00:24:37I have been meaning to ask you.
00:24:39Do you want to be a princess
00:24:40or do you want to be my daughter-in-law?
00:24:44So his majesty actually heard
00:24:46what Uncle Simon said that day?
00:24:49No offense, your majesty,
00:24:51but I have no desire to live a life
00:24:53full of constant fear.
00:24:54If you truly wish to reward me,
00:24:55just give me some food and money.
00:24:57I would rather live a free and easy life.
00:25:08You make a fair point.
00:25:10If you actually became my daughter-in-law,
00:25:12it would be highly improper
00:25:13to have you cook fish 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,
00:25:35we will fight them to the death.
00:25:36That is right.
00:25:38Protect the prince
00:25:39and protect the emperor.
00:25:40Charge!
00:25:42Charge!
00:25:57With a defense like this,
00:25:59not even a single fly could get through.
00:26:15After two weeks of such a massive search,
00:26:17the imperial escort has finally arrived.
00:26:30Your majesty,
00:26:32now that you are safe,
00:26:33I can finally rest in peace.
00:26:39That is enough.
00:26:41Stop all this weeping.
00:26:43If anyone deserves thanks,
00:26:44it's Erica.
00:26:45Without her,
00:26:46I'd be dead ten times over.
00:26:59Thank you for saving the life of the emperor.
00:27:01I shall never forget your kindness.
00:27:03It was nothing.
00:27:04Please stand up,
00:27:05Commander Wood.
00:27:19Listen to my decree.
00:27:21We return to the capital at once.
00:27:28Ryan.
00:27:31You shall return with me.
00:27:36I obey your command,
00:27:38Father.
00:27:43Your highness,
00:27:45please return to us soon.
00:27:48We cannot bear to see you leave.
00:27:57My fellow citizens,
00:27:59do not be sad.
00:28:01I will send an official of great integrity.
00:28:03I'll send an upright official
00:28:05who will treat everyone like family.
00:28:09As for Prince Ryan,
00:28:10the one you all admire,
00:28:12one thief is too small for his ambitions.
00:28:15I will entrust him with far greater duties.
00:28:20I hope you 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
00:29:01for advice on dealing with his father.
00:29:12He is your own father.
00:29:13How can you not know his temper and preferences?
00:29:22He is the Supreme Emperor.
00:29:24I, however,
00:29:25am 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,
00:29:36speaking so freely.
00:29:39Even Prince Dylan and Prince Eden,
00:29:41his favorites,
00:29:41never dare to be so casual
00:29:43in the presence of our father.
00:29:45Do you have a secret for this?
00:29:48Not a secret at all.
00:29:50I just treat the emperor
00:29:51like any ordinary elder.
00:29:53Think of how commoners
00:29:55treat the elders in their family.
00:29:57And I treat the emperor the same way.
00:30:00I understand now.
00:30:10Ryan,
00:30:11what are you doing?
00:30:13When a father is in danger,
00:30:14a son belongs by his side to protect him.
00:30:26Having the trust and gratitude
00:30:28of the emperor and his heir,
00:30:30a life of luxury is surely guaranteed.
00:30:32They might even grant me the title
00:30:34of the official imperial fisher.
00:30:56your majesty.
00:31:04Why the panic?
00:31:07Prince Dylan has rebelled.
00:31:09The rebel forces have blocked
00:31:11every path to the capital.
00:31:12Prince Eden has proclaimed himself king.
00:31:21You treacherous sons!
00:31:23While I was away,
00:31:25is this how you guard the capital for me?
00:31:31I deserve death.
00:31:34Since the emperor was missing in the river,
00:31:36the factions in court have already splintered.
00:31:38Prince Dylan intends to seize the throne,
00:31:40while 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
00:31:54can be toppled so easily?
00:31:59Your majesty,
00:32:00I anticipated this.
00:32:02I took the tiger tally from the capital.
00:32:04Once we escape this place,
00:32:06we can summon the troops
00:32:07to crush the rebellion.
00:32:09Good.
00:32:10Good.
00:32:11Where is the nearest army?
00:32:13The Mountain City Army
00:32:15is three days away.
00:32:18Father,
00:32:18the rebels of Prince Dylan
00:32:19have sealed every road
00:32:21out of this fief.
00:32:21We cannot leave by land.
00:32:23Our only chance
00:32:24is to take the river.
00:32:28However...
00:32:28However what?
00:32:29The imperial guards
00:32:30are all landlubbers from the capital.
00:32:31They only know how to fight on land.
00:32:33None of them can handle a boat.
00:32:35If we are caught on the river,
00:32:37we will...
00:32:42Why are you all staring at me?
00:32:44Surely you do not expect
00:32:46a lowly fisher to perform a miracle?
00:32:51Honestly,
00:32:51the imperial gold
00:32:52is not easily earned.
00:32:56I cannot simply watch
00:32:57my father face such peril.
00:32:59I will protect him
00:33:00as we fight our way out.
00:33:03Ryan,
00:33:04my dear son.
00:33:08I shall protect the emperor
00:33:09and the prince
00:33:10with my life
00:33:10on our journey
00:33:11to the Mountain City Army.
00:33:13Sigh.
00:33:17Erica,
00:33:18please look at the situation.
00:33:27Fine, fine.
00:33:28Since we have come this far,
00:33:29I will see this through
00:33:30to the end.
00:33:31I always finish what I start.
00:33:32I will take everyone with me.
00:33:36Thank you, Erica.
00:33:38Thank you, Erica.
00:33:43I am in your debt, Erica.
00:33:57I am in your debt, Erica.
00:34:00As a prince of the realm,
00:34:02is he not a match for Erica?
00:34:04With the virtue and skill of Erica,
00:34:06any man would be blessed to have her.
00:34:11I have caused you much trouble.
00:34:17It is no trouble.
00:34:19But it is a shame
00:34:20that your highness
00:34:20must live as a lowly fisherman with me.
00:34:25In that case,
00:34:27please do not call me your highness.
00:34:29Will you call me Ryan?
00:34:30As you wish, Ryan.
00:34:32Let's board the boat.
00:34:34Yes, my darling.
00:34:35Yes, my darling.
00:35:09You are a terror on dry land,
00:35:11but on the water,
00:35:12you are a pathetic mess.
00:35:15Silence.
00:35:16I will protect the emperor
00:35:18with my life.
00:35:30Forgive me.
00:35:31I...
00:35:32I have become a burden
00:35:33to everyone.
00:35:38You are truly good for nothing.
00:35:44Get him into the cabin at once.
00:35:46Do not let anyone suspect us.
00:36:04State your business.
00:36:05Stop the boat
00:36:05for an inspection.
00:36:15Officer?
00:36:17We are just humble fishers.
00:36:19We are taking the fish caught today
00:36:21to Lincoln Ward to sell.
00:36:49The river is closed today.
00:36:51Turn back at once.
00:36:54We have an agreement with the tavern
00:36:56to deliver this fresh fish.
00:36:57If we do not deliver the fish today,
00:36:59the fish will start to rot
00:37:00and we will have to pay the tavern.
00:37:02Please show some mercy.
00:37:03Make an exception for us
00:37:04and let us pass through.
00:37:08I said no,
00:37:09and I mean it.
00:37:10A single basket of fish means nothing.
00:37:12Careful,
00:37:12or I will take your head.
00:37:21You useless brat,
00:37:22it is all your fault.
00:37:27If you had not insisted on this route,
00:37:29we wouldn't have missed the delivery.
00:37:30Now we are going to lose every penny.
00:37:39Heavens above,
00:37:41what am I going to do?
00:37:42I was counting on this silver
00:37:44to pay for my own burial.
00:37:45Now it is all gone.
00:38:00Father,
00:38:02please,
00:38:03that is enough.
00:38:08Officer,
00:38:09please show some mercy.
00:38:11The poor man is counting on this catch
00:38:13to survive until his final day.
00:38:15If this sail falls through,
00:38:16he will trade my life for his burial.
00:38:23Get moving,
00:38:24move along.
00:38:24All that noise is giving me a headache.
00:38:32Ryan,
00:38:32do not take it to heart.
00:38:33I was a bit too rough with you just now.
00:38:35It was only a matter of necessity.
00:38:37However,
00:38:38this matter stays between the three of us.
00:38:41You must never mention it again.
00:39:01I am dead.
00:39:02I am so dead.
00:39:04Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:17I am dead.
00:39:27All vessels and civilians are forbidden to pass.
00:39:31Stay where you are for questioning.
00:39:35This is not good.
00:39:36They must have discovered the decoy of my father.
00:39:38The five of us escaped in total secrecy.
00:39:40After leaving one man in the estate of Prince Ryan,
00:39:42he posed as the emperor to distract the rebels
00:39:44in hopes of buying us more time.
00:39:46Now it appears that the rebels have stormed
00:39:48the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:39:49They realized the emperor was not inside,
00:39:51and that is why they intensified the search.
00:40:20What do you think you are doing?
00:40:21You are not allowed to set up a stall here.
00:40:23Please calm down, officer.
00:40:24Since the river is closed today,
00:40:25we have nowhere else to go anyway.
00:40:26This boat is full of fresh fish caught today,
00:40:29and they will all rot by tomorrow morning.
00:40:31Why not let me cook them right here?
00:40:32You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal
00:40:34and keep yourselves warm.
00:40:36Hurry up then,
00:40:36as we are all starving.
00:40:58Officers, you have had a long day.
00:40:59Come and have a taste of the fresh catch.
00:41:03We have been camping in the wild for days
00:41:04without a single full meal.
00:41:05I am absolutely famished.
00:41:06The scent of this fish is incredible.
00:41:08I will not be polite then.
00:41:09Your majesty,
00:41:10why are you so well behaved today?
00:41:13Are you not sneaking a bite for once?
00:41:15Do not think I did not notice.
00:41:17All those fish were caught right beside the boat.
00:41:48Look!
00:41:48Look!
00:41:49Look!
00:41:52Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:42:07Jason Cole.
00:42:15That woman from the Shady Stall.
00:42:22So you are still alive after all.
00:42:35Stop eating everyone! The targets are here! Capture them at once!
00:43:03Down!
00:43:06Down!
00:43:08Down!
00:43:10And you 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!
00:44:43Uncle Simon, go!
00:44:53Kill the lights!
00:45:20Finally, we are back on my turf.
00:45:38They are hiding right here! The prince said that their capture would bring a massive reward!
00:45:51Erica, what do we do now?
00:46:03Your Majesty, Ryan. Follow my lead.
00:46:22What was that noise?
00:46:31Help! There are river demons in the water!
00:46:37Who are you?
00:46:38That's it!
00:46:40I can't reach!
00:46:49I have to be found from the king!
00:46:53I can't reach!
00:46:54No, I can't say!
00:46:58No, I can't reach!
00:46:59I can't reach!
00:46:59I can't reach!
00:46:59I have to be there now!
00:46:59I have to be there now!
00:47:01To be there now!
00:47:17What what is that could river demons really exist

00:51:10erica why did you choose to help me
00:51:23so you figured out the truth after all
00:51:33eat do not go hungry
00:51:35long ago when i was begging with grandfather we passed through the territory you ruled
00:51:38you were just a boy newly exiled
00:51:40yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like us those with no home and little
00:51:44hope driven 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
00:51:54our crew operates between light and shadow which is why simon and i often wore disguises
00:51:56we 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 i 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

00:52:51you 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
00:52:59but 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

00:53:49ryan
00:53:50hmm

00:53:58it truly meant the world to me
00:54:06forget it to hell with the rules
00:54:08i am the chief after all
00:54:10not some refined lady from a noble house
00:54:19crash
00:54:20shy
00:54:21shy
00:54:22shy
00:54:24shy
00:54:25shy
00:54:25shy
00:54:38shy
00:54:40shy
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?
00:55:33Anyway, 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?
00:56:25Of course.
00:56:30Perfect! The future leader of our crew has the crown prince as his father. Who would ever dare to cross
00:56:35us 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!
00:57:36Just when we finally found some peace, is it possible the remnants of Dylan and Eden have come back to
00:57:40haunt us?
00:57:50There is no need for panic. This river belongs to the Watsons.
00:58:04The shined logo of the ship. It's just as strong as we can do it.
00:58:11The sophisticated veteran of the ship's full house. It's about 50 years.
00:58:13And it's about 500. If you have a family member of the ship's full house.
00:58:14What kind of thoracic and your family members have come back to us?
00:58:14I think it's about 500. If you can chill.
00:58:15The horse that you have a big brother, they also have to run it.
00:58:15The cow is a big brother and a giraffe, the one who has to sit on the shop.
00:58:16I think he's about 60. If the horse has to sit on the streets.
00:58:17The car has to be a big brother. It's about 50 years.
00:58:20The cow is up to keep us long.
00:58:22The crowds has to the house of the parish.
00:58:22The force is this to the house.
00:58:23The song will be where the house is the house of the house.
00:58:27Erika, since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start showing symptoms by
00:58:32now. Your appetite must be quite poor. I searched the entire capital for this. Preserved Ginger is a miracle cure
00:58:39for nausea.
00:58:45Quite a grand spectacle, Your Highness. Bringing Ginger with the entire Imperial Guards. The Crown Prince has no place at
00:58:53this 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. I gave you my word
00:59:03that I would protect you for life. Chopping wood and building fires is a skill I have truly mastered.
00:59:12Well, well! Do you all see this? The eye of our chief is truly sharp! The follow-up service is
00:59:20quite impressive! Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door!

00:59:40pile of wet wood!

01:01:56is worse than
01:01:56tasteless dishwater erica i've been starving for three whole days prepare a bowl of fish and tofu at once
01:02:20now this is the flavor that i missed
01:02:22since i returned to the palace those servants have served nothing but the most bland and hollow meals
01:02:27they focus only on fancy decorations everything looks beautiful to the eye but there is no actual
01:02:30flavor within my sense of taste is slowly fading away because of them
01:02:40you are a distinguished guest
01:02:43but with that look did you run away from home or are you just slacking off on your duties
01:02:56who cares about that in this world of ours a good meal is the only thing that counts
01:03:14erica i would like another bowl of rice drench it in that fish broth for me

01:03:52you must bring the little one and come back to take charge once that is done ryan can finish the
01:03:58reports in the throne room and walk right over to the inner palace to be with you
01:04:01i will also get to enjoy this tofu fish every single day life would be absolutely perfect
01:04:19your majesty

01:05:10of the palace

01:05:29exhaustion

01:05:38truly suffer
01:05:39my highness
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.
01:06:20Erika 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 who 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.
01:07:40Hear 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!
01:08:07As no one dares to oppose me!
01:08:09Send any who disagree to argue with me in person!
01:08:20A nationwide celebration...
01:08:25Thank you!
01:08:26The end of the year...
01:08:52Let the grand ship sail now!
01:09:02Look at our little chief here, picking 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.
01:09:18The emperor has finally finished the court session.
01:09:20After reviewing the final tax report, he 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!
01:09:36Bring the boat to the shore now!
01:09:37I have caught a massive fish!
01:09:39That silly father of yours is almost here!
01:09:41Tonight, we will all enjoy a feast of tofu and fish!
01:10:04Erica!
01:10:05The capital is far too suffocating.
01:10:07I have left all state affairs to the ministers so that I can stay here with you for two weeks.
01:10:12Well, I will handle the firewood tonight.
01:10:14I 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 in pack for five silver coins.
01:10:41On the night of our mating ceremony, I sat on the edge of a broken bed, biting my lip.
01:10:46I'm a wolf-less omega orphan.
01:10:48And Cain?
01:10:49The pack says he's a curse.
01:10:50His parents abandoned him as a pup and never came back.
01:10:54They say he walked into the shadow woods alone at six.
01:10:57Shift for the first time at twelve and tore apart a full-grown shadow bear.
01:11:02The scar running from his brow to his jaw?
01:11:05That bear gave it to him.
01:11:06Everyone in the pack fears him.
01:11:08I did too.
01:11:09I crossed the street when I saw him.
01:11:11Never spoke a word to him.
01:11:12It's that I wondered to him.
01:11:14Never even looked him in the eye.
01:11:16I never thought my aunt would sell me to him.
01:11:18No gifts.
01:11:19No feast.
01:11:20I wore an old white dress and took shaky steps into his cabin.
01:11:24It smelled of blood and old fur.
01:11:27I didn't think I'd survive tonight.
01:11:29All I could hear was my aunt counting her silver.
01:11:32Don't blame me, Ella.
01:11:34You're lucky anyone would take you.
01:11:36I stood there like a fool, not knowing what to do, until the door banged open.
01:11:40I gasped.
01:11:42His leather coat was slashed open across the ribs.
01:11:45The smell of my aunt was slashed open.
