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 carp spirit?
00:00:26Help! 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.
00:01:55As 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!
00:03:46Asking 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.
00:04:21Maid, 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.
00:05:30Avert 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.
00:06:43Stop arguing with him.
00:06:45How dare you insult me!
00:06:53I gradually realize the old man might not be crazy.
00:06:57What he said could be true.
00:07:13What 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?
00:07:32You are looking for him?
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.
00:07:54These 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.
00:08:26There is no mistake.
00:08:32Is he really the emperor?
00:08:36Our master is not right in the head.
00:08:39Just 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.
00:08:57Let 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 we will silence every witness here.
00:10:13No one will ever know.
00:10:19Ferris,
00:10:20Ferris,
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 isn'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!
00:10:46We'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 must have ways to defend ourselves.
00:11:30Erica!
00:11:31How did you figure out these 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 and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:43When 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,
00:11:52we 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,
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 to their master.
00:12:06But since we were right...
00:12:09Well, 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.
00:12:22How 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.
00:12:32Once 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.
00:12:48When 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,
00:12:54if 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
00:13:06and 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?
00:13:11And 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,
00:13:40was 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 younger son,
00:14:01was exiled to a remote thief long ago,
00:14:02which actually makes him
00:14:03the 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
00:14:30your youngest son
00:14:31is not harboring a grudge
00:14:33and plotting your murder?
00:14:34You did exile him
00:14:35to that distant place.
00:14:40You do not understand the situation.
00:14:42Security around me is airtight.
00:14:43Anyone who could infiltrate
00:14:45the 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
00:14:53has always been straightforward.
00:14:55He's too honest
00:14:56to scheme against anyone.
00:14:58There's no way he'd rebel.
00:15:01So you are just exploiting
00:15:02a decent man.
00:15:03He had no share
00:15:04in the wealth and glory,
00:15:05yet you seek him
00:15:05the 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
00:15:31doesn't even know
00:15:31his own son's land.
00:15:37Excuse me,
00:15:38which way is
00:15:39Prince Ryan's estate?
00:15:40Are you here for justice
00:15:42or just for grain?
00:15:44What is the difference?
00:15:46If you seek justice,
00:15:48His Highness holds court
00:15:49for an hour every day
00:15:50specifically to receive petitions.
00:15:52If you need food and grain,
00:15:53register at the local office.
00:15:55Anyone living in this district
00:15:56can receive rations
00:15:57for their family,
00:15:58along with seeds
00:15:59for their crops.
00:16:00Judging by how you talk,
00:16:02Prince Ryan really seems
00:16:03like a kind man.
00:16:06You must be from out of town
00:16:08if you have not heard
00:16:09of 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
00:16:16has an altar
00:16:16to pray for him.
00:16:18We pray for his health
00:16:19and for his long life
00:16:20so that he may keep
00:16:22the people of this region
00:16:23safe and sound.
00:16:25I have not even earned
00:16:26that much respect,
00:16:26but this ungrateful son of mine
00:16:28already has.
00:16:29They even built altars for him.
00:16:59Are you visiting
00:17:00from out of town?
00:17:02Goodman,
00:17:02we are here to find
00:17:03Prince Ryan.
00:17:04This gentleman
00:17:05is a distant relative
00:17:06of the prince.
00:17:07We have come
00:17:07to seek his help.
00:17:08Prince Ryan,
00:17:09he's a really great man.
00:17:10He spent years
00:17:11building canals
00:17:12and improving the farmland.
00:17:13He transformed
00:17:14this barren wasteland
00:17:15into a land of abundance.
00:17:16He certainly did.
00:17:18He reformed
00:17:18the local government
00:17:19and kept the law in check.
00:17:21Life is much better
00:17:22for us now.
00:17:23We are all grateful
00:17:23for the grace of the prince
00:17:25and his father,
00:17:25our emperor.
00:17:28Prince Ryan,
00:17:29my long forgotten son.
00:17:32If you head straight
00:17:33to 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
00:17:40rice field.
00:17:58Which one is Prince Ryan?
00:18:09I expected someone much older.
00:18:11He is clearly
00:18:11a handsome young man.
00:18:26father.
00:18:37This is outrageous.
00:18:40Traitors like these
00:18:41deserve death by anyone.
00:18:49You both have shown
00:18:50great honor.
00:18:51You saved my father's
00:18:52lifetime and again.
00:18:54Words cannot express
00:18:55my gratitude.
00:18:57Please accept my bow.
00:18:58You are too kind,
00:18:59your highness.
00:19:00Now that we've brought
00:19:01him safely,
00:19:01Uncle Simon and I are done.
00:19:03We'll leave tomorrow.
00:19:06Hmm.
00:19:14You cannot leave.
00:19:16I will take you
00:19:16to the capital
00:19:17and make you a princess.
00:19:30So comfortable.
00:19:31I have spent most
00:19:32of my life on the river.
00:19:33I am just a rough boatman
00:19:34always braving
00:19:35the wind and rain.
00:19:36I never expected
00:19:37to see the day
00:19:38I could live like
00:19:38a wealthy man
00:19:39with servants
00:19:40waiting on me.
00:19:47The emperor
00:19:48is super paranoid
00:19:49right now.
00:19:50He trusts no one
00:19:51except us two.
00:19:53So Prince Ryan
00:19:54has to treat us well.
00:19:58I recently introduced
00:19:59this new crop variety.
00:20:01This year's harvest
00:20:01will definitely double.
00:20:03The yield is high
00:20:04and the grain
00:20:04is excellent.
00:20:06Excellent.
00:20:07Feeding the people
00:20:09shows true leadership.
00:20:12And repaying
00:20:13what you owe
00:20:14is just the right thing
00:20:15to do.
00:20:15You have three days
00:20:16to return the farmer's money
00:20:17or face severe punishment.
00:20:19You are incredibly wise,
00:20:20your highness.
00:20:21You're a truly fair lord.
00:20:22He handles cases
00:20:23fairly and carefully.
00:20:25Very methodical.
00:20:28My calm, humble son,
00:20:30Prince Ryan
00:20:31has actually achieved
00:20:34such great things
00:20:35here in this remote land.
00:20:38I completely misjudged
00:20:41misjudged him before.
00:20:48Erica,
00:20:49add more chili peppers.
00:20:51Well,
00:20:52I absolutely love
00:20:53your bold local dishes.
00:20:55They are far better
00:20:56than palace feasts.
00:20:58You got it.
00:20:59Just wait and see.
00:21:00I guarantee
00:21:00it will make you sweat.
00:21:08What are the prince
00:21:10and that man doing?
00:21:11Look away.
00:21:12Pretend you saw nothing.
00:21:16Erica,
00:21:17just look at this scene.
00:21:18The father
00:21:19is peeling garlic,
00:21:20the son
00:21:21is chopping wood,
00:21:22and the wife
00:21:22is cooking.
00:21:24You three
00:21:25look just like
00:21:26a family.
00:21:32Uncle Simon,
00:21:33stop talking nonsense.
00:21:34His highness is royalty.
00:21:35I am just
00:21:36an ordinary fisher.
00:21:37We belong
00:21:38to different worlds.
00:21:40If word of this
00:21:41gets out,
00:21:42we could lose our heads.
00:22:03Sigh.
00:22:03Why has my escort
00:22:05not arrived yet?
00:22:06Assassins keep coming
00:22:07in waves.
00:22:08I am going to die
00:22:09out 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,
00:22:49go now!
00:22:51You ask for death?
00:23:00Fall back!
00:23:02Fall back!
00:23:10Ryan,
00:23:11my dear son!
00:23:13Are you hurt?
00:23:14I am fine.
00:23:17as long as
00:23:18you are safe,
00:23:19father.
00:23:23Father,
00:23:36my son,
00:23:37your life
00:23:38is too precious.
00:23:39How could you
00:23:39risk yourself
00:23:40like this?
00:23:42Quickly,
00:23:43send someone else
00:23:44to protect me.
00:23:51Father,
00:23:52your life
00:23:52is the one
00:23:52that truly matters.
00:23:53As your son
00:23:54and your subject,
00:23:55I would gladly
00:23:55give my life for you.
00:23:56Nonsense!
00:23:57Stop talking about dying!
00:23:58You will rule
00:23:59the 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
00:24:23and at least pretend to decline?
00:24:24No wonder he has been stuck
00:24:25in this wasteland
00:24:26and forgotten by everyone
00:24:27all 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
00:24:41or do you want to be
00:24:42my daughter-in-law?
00:24:44So his majesty
00:24:45actually heard
00:24:46what Uncle Simon
00:24:47said that day.
00:24:50No offense,
00:24:50your majesty,
00:24:51but I have no desire
00:24:52to live a life
00:24:53full of constant fear.
00:24:54If you truly wish
00:24:55to reward me,
00:24:55just give me some food
00:24:56and money.
00:24:57I would rather live
00:24:57a free and easy life.
00:25:08You make a fair point.
00:25:10If you actually
00:25:11became my daughter-in-law,
00:25:12it would be highly improper
00:25:13to have you cook fish
00:25:14for me every day.
00:25:20He is always thinking
00:25:21about his next meal.
00:25:22What a gluttonous old man.
00:25:33If anyone dares
00:25:34to harm our prince,
00:25:35we will fight them
00:25:36to the death.
00:25:36That is right.
00:25:38Protect the prince
00:25:39and protect the emperor.
00:25:41Charge!
00:25:57With a defense like this,
00:25:58not even a single fly
00:26:00could get through.
00:26:15After two weeks
00:26:16of such a massive search,
00:26:17the imperial escort
00:26:19has finally arrived.
00:26:30Your majesty,
00:26:32now that you are safe,
00:26:34I can finally rest in peace.
00:26:40That 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
00:27:00the life of the emperor.
00:27:01I shall never forget
00:27:02your 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
00:27:22at once.
00:27:28Ryan!
00:27:31You shall return with me.
00:27:36I obey your command, Father.
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
00:28:02of great integrity.
00:28:03I'll send an upright official
00:28:05who will treat everyone
00:28:06like family.
00:28:09As for Prince Ryan,
00:28:10the one you all admire,
00:28:12one thief is too small
00:28:13for his ambitions.
00:28:16I will entrust him
00:28:17with far greater duties.
00:28:20I hope he will not fail
00:28:21my expectations.
00:28:29It seems Prince Ryan
00:28:31is destined for greatness.
00:28:50It seems Prince Ryan
00:28:53is destined for greatness.
00:28:57I remember our first few days
00:28:58at the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:29:00That blockhead always came to me
00:29:01for advice on dealing
00:29:03with his father.
00:29:12He is your own father.
00:29:13How can you not know
00:29:14his temper and preferences?
00:29:22He is the Supreme Emperor.
00:29:24I, however,
00:29:26am just a neglected prince.
00:29:29I hardly saw my father's face
00:29:31growing up.
00:29:33But I notice how you interact
00:29:35with him, Erica,
00:29:36speaking so freely.
00:29:39Even Prince Dylan
00:29:40and Prince Eden,
00:29:41his favorites,
00:29:41never dare to be so casual
00:29:43in the presence of our father.
00:29:44Do 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
00:29:55in their family.
00:29:57And I treat the emperor
00:29:58the same way.
00:30:00I understand now.
00:30:10Ryan,
00:30:11what are you doing?
00:30:12When a father is in danger,
00:30:14a son belongs by his side
00:30:16to protect him.
00:30:26Having the trust and gratitude
00:30:28of the emperor and his heir,
00:30:30a life of luxury
00:30:31is surely guaranteed.
00:30:32They might even grant me
00:30:33the title of the official
00:30:34imperial fisher.
00:30:56your majesty.
00:31:04Why the panic?
00:31:07Prince Dylan has rebelled.
00:31:09The rebel forces
00:31:10have blocked every path
00:31:11to the capital.
00:31:12Prince Eden
00:31:13has proclaimed himself king.
00:31:21You treacherous sons!
00:31:23While I was away,
00:31:24is this how you guard
00:31:26the capital for me?
00:31:32I deserve death.
00:31:34Since the emperor
00:31:35was missing in the river,
00:31:36the factions in court
00:31:37have already splintered.
00:31:38Prince Dylan intends
00:31:39to seize the throne,
00:31:40while Prince Eden
00:31:41waits to profit
00:31:42from the chaos.
00:31:47A foolish dream!
00:31:49Those ungrateful
00:31:51and arrogant sons!
00:31:52Do they think
00:31:53that 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
00:32:03from 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.
00:32:27However,
00:32:28however what?
00:32:29The Imperial Guards
00:32:30are all landlubbers
00:32:31from the capital.
00:32:31They only know
00:32:32how to fight on land.
00:32:33None of them
00:32:33can handle a boat.
00:32:35If we are caught
00:32:36on the river,
00:32:37we will...
00:32:42Why are you all
00:32:43staring at me?
00:32:44Surely you do not
00:32:45expect a lowly fissure
00:32:47to perform a miracle?
00:32:51Honestly,
00:32:51the Imperial gold
00:32:53is not easily earned.
00:32:56I cannot simply
00:32:57watch my father
00:32:58face 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
00:33:09the 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
00:33:19at the situation.
00:33:27Fine, fine.
00:33:28Since we have come
00:33:28this far,
00:33:29I will see this
00:33:30through to the end.
00:33:31I always finish
00:33:31what I start.
00:33:32I will take
00:33:33everyone with me.
00:33:36Thank you, Erica.
00:33:38Thank you, Erica.
00:33:44I am in your
00:33:45debt, Erica.
00:33:57That boy is
00:33:58lucky indeed.
00:34:00As a Prince
00:34:01of the Realm,
00:34:02is he not a match
00:34:03for Erica?
00:34:04With the virtue
00:34:05and skill of Erica,
00:34:06any man would be
00:34:07blessed to have her.
00:34:11I have caused
00:34:12you 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
00:34:21fisherman with me.
00:34:25In that case,
00:34:27please do not
00:34:28call 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,
00:34:35my darling.
00:34:38I will.
00:34:39Please do not.
00:34:42There you are.
00:34:52No,
00:34:53there you are.
00:34:54No,
00:35:02there you are.
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.
00:36:03You are truly good for nothing.
00:36:04State your business. Stop the boat for an inspection.
00:36:15Officer. 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.
00:37:27If 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!
00:38:32Ryan, do not take it to heart. I was a bit too rough with you just now. It was only
00:38:36a 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!
00:40:23Please calm down, officer. Since the river is closed today, we have nowhere else to go anyway. This boat is
00:40:27full of fresh fish carp today, and they will all rot by tomorrow morning. Why not let me cook them
00:40:32right here? You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal and keep yourselves warm.
00:40:36Hurry up then, as we are all starving!
00:41:04Hurry up then, as we are all starving!
00:41:04Not 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! Look! Look!
00:41:53Officer, 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.
00:43:12I will make you pay for this today.
00:43:23Ryan.
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.
00:43:47The prowess of the commander of the Imperial Guards is certainly not to be taken lightly.
00:44:16Your majesty, I have come to save you!
00:44:20Move!
00:44:21Board the boat immediately!
00:44:42Uncle Simon, go!
00:44:53Kill the lights!
00:45:20Finally, we are back on my turf.
00:45:38They are hiding right here!
00:45:40The 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!
00:46:32There are river demons in the water!
00:46:34And they are not being friendly for it!
00:46:38Look who's the nature of yourifts in the water!
00:46:43Yuxi!
00:46:44Don't forget you!
00:46:44Let's go!
00:46:46You're the victim!
00:46:51Let's take your home!
00:46:53You're the victim!
00:46:54You're the victim!
00:46:57You're the victim!
00:47:01You're the victim!
00:47:17What? What is that? Could river demons really exist?
00:47:31Stay back! Do not come any closer!
00:47:52Chief! You have finally returned!
00:48:16Chief, is 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!
00:48:43Hiding a band of a thousand thieves.
00:48:46Huh?
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
00:49:20than he is.
00:49:27Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law, please don't give up on my hopeless son.
00:49:33Your 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.
00:49:51Time to go.
00:49:59Oh!
00:50:01No!
00:50:04No!
00:50:05No!
00:50:06No!
00:50:11Charge! Charge! Soldiers, hear my command! Prince Dylan and Prince Eden have betrayed the throne!
00:50:19The treason of this magnitude shall find no mercy! Follow me to crush this rebellion to victory!
00:50:24To victory!
00:50:42The Emperor reclaimed the army. He struck the rebels at once. Loyalists rallied to the throne. They soon destroyed the
00:50:48power of Prince Dylan and Prince Eden. The Empire was secured again. Ryan was named the Crown Prince. With peace
00:50:54restored to the realm, the Emperor returned to the capital.
00:51:09To victory!
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. You were just a boy,
00:51:40newly exiled. Yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like us, those with no home and little hope.
00:51:44Driven by that mercy, I gathered my strength and fought my way north. Armed with nothing but my skill in
00:51:48the water and a stubborn spirit that refused to break, I carved out a path through every hardship until I
00:51:52became the chief of the anchor crew.
00:51:54Our crew operates between light and shadow, which is why Simon and I often wore disguises. We posed as simple
00:51:57fishers and wine cellars, just to seek out a few business opportunities. I never expected to save the Emperor by
00:52:02mere chance.
00:52:03I did everything possible to keep him safe, waiting for the right moment to bring him to you. I only
00:52:08wanted him to see the truth for himself, to see a Prince who truly serves the common people, and to
00:52:12see 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. Even less did I think
00:52:22you'd lose your heart to me. Your Highness, you are destined to be a great leader in the future. Knowing
00:52:29that 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. You should marry a lady from a noble house.
00:52:55I have been free and wild for far too long. I only want a simple life upon the water. Fate
00:52:59brought us together.
00:52:59But it was not meant to last. Once, my only dream was to be a great ruler. I would lead
00:53:07the Empire with wisdom and bring peace to the people. But now, I wish that I were free. To wander
00:53:14with the woman I love.
00:53:22Your Highness, you have your own path to follow. And I have mine as well. I am going to lead
00:53:27the anchor crew to become the greatest power in the world, while you must carry the weight of your people.
00:53:35I know that I cannot make you stay. I know that I cannot make you stay. Go now, and I
00:53:38will watch you leave.
00:53:49Ryan.
00:53:54When you stood in front of me that day, it truly meant the world to me.
00:54:06Forget it. To hell with the rules. I am the chief after all. Not some refined lady from a noble
00:54:11house.
00:54:16Godim!
00:54:21God, God, you must do.
00:54:28Get.
00:54:35God.
00:54:36God.
00:54:36God.
00:54:58I really thought
00:55:00that you would follow that lad
00:55:02to the capital as empress.
00:55:11I am the leader of the anchor crew.
00:55:12Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:55:41Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:55:44Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:56:06Chief, Chief, look, so this is the future you promised
00:56:12the crew.
00:56:20Is this truly the child of the crown prince?
00:56:25Of course.
00:56:30Perfect!
00:56:31The future leader of our crew
00:56:32has the crown prince as his father.
00:56:34Who would ever dare to cross us now?
00:56:36Even 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
00:56:51reward 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.
00:57:18Chief, something is wrong.
00:57:21The 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
00:57:40come back to haunt us?
00:57:50There is no need for panic.
00:57:53This river belongs to the Watsons.
00:58:11Chief, something is wrong.
00:58:27Erika, since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start
00:58:31showing symptoms by now.
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.
00:58:48Bringing 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.
00:59:13Well, well!
00:59:14Do you all see this?
00:59:16The eye of our chief is truly sharp!
00:59:19The follow-up service is quite impressive!
00:59:22Even 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!
00:59:47Hey!
00:59:47I am going!
00:59:47shining!

01:00:17You are an email we temporarily have to build a lรคuft!
01:00:17border report the emperor claims a headache as an excuse and insists that you review the matter
01:00:21you must make the final decision at least give it a single glance can you not see that i am
01:00:25busy
01:00:25the feet of erica are badly swollen today i must finish this pile of wood quickly to boil water
01:00:29for her foot bath he is actually boiling water for a foot bath to think the crown prince would
01:00:40perform such a chore if this news ever reaches the capital the old men of the censorate will
01:00:44certainly die of shame just leave the reports on that large stone once erica is finally in a deep
01:00:56sleep i will find the time to review them nothing shall interrupt her foot bath now
01:01:09chief chief look at that beggar over there why does he look exactly like that old man arthur crown
01:01:23erica quick erica 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
01:01:51i am done with that throne it is so stiff that it is painful to sit on the palace food
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 since i returned to the palace those servants have served
01:02:25nothing but the most bland and hollow meals they focus only on fancy decorations everything looks
01:02:29beautiful to the eye but there is no actual flavor within my sense of taste is slowly fading away because
01:02:33of them
01:02:40you are a distinguished guest but with that look did you run away from home or are you just slacking
01:02:47off on
01:02:48your duties
01:02:56who cares about that in this world of ours a good meal is the only thing that counts
01:03:03okay
01:03:04okay
01:03:04so
01:03:14Erica i would like another bowl of rice drench it in that fish broth for me
01:03:23there is plenty of fish and rice for everyone
01:03:41Erica, while enjoying the fish you prepared these days, I have come up with a flawless plan.
01:03:47I will fire the head of the Imperial Kitchen who only knows how to make useless radish carvings.
01:03:52You must bring the little one and come back to take charge.
01:03:56Once that is done, Ryan can finish the reports in the throne room and walk right over to the inner
01:04:00palace to be with you.
01:04:02I will also get to enjoy this tofu fish every single day.
01:04:06Life would be absolutely perfect.
01:04:19Your Majesty, I am the leader of the anchor crew, not some personal cook for your family.
01:04:33Leading the Imperial Kitchen is an honor that most only dream of.
01:04:38Surely it beats the harsh life on the water.
01:04:41I have several thousand members of my crew who rely on me to fill their bellies.
01:04:45If I move to the palace for comfort, do you expect them to pack their bags, enter the capital, and
01:04:50drain the national treasury?
01:05:05Father, the spirit of Erica is wild.
01:05:07She loves the breeze of the open river.
01:05:09She hates the high walls of the palace.
01:05:10And what of you?
01:05:11You are the crown prince!
01:05:17I have made my decision.
01:05:18I will simply work twice as hard.
01:05:21I can handle the throne during the day and return to this dock every night.
01:05:26Sean rose fast enough for the trip, so I will not feel any exhaustion.
01:05:32Your Highness, please show some mercy.
01:05:36If you travel back and forth like that, I am the one who will truly suffer.
01:05:39I am the one who will truly suffer.
01:06:09Your highness, your head is bleeding. You 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!
01:06:39I 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!
01:07:20I have finally gained a sweet granddaughter who will never grow a beard like my sons!
01:07:32She is so beautiful. Her features are truly delicate.
01:07:37She looks just like Erika. She is the perfect image of Erika.
01:07:40Fear my imperial decree. Every 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. Let 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? The 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!
01:08:14A nearby pair of
01:08:16Yes!
01:08:16No!
01:08:17No!
01:08:25No!
01:08:29No!
01:08:38Please!
01:08:38I will see you in person!
01:08:39Come on!
01:08:39I will see you again in person!
01:08:40Come on!
