00:00:00I was a fisher on the river. One day, I pulled an old man with a gray beard out of
00:00:05the river.
00:00:07Wow, looks like I caught a big one today. Whoa, what on earth is this?
00:00:14Young lady, just take me back and you'll have endless wealth and glory.
00:00:20Oh my god, is this the legendary carp spirit?
00:00:28Help! I said take me back to the palace, not send me to meet the reaper!
00:00:35Oh no, he wasn't a carp spirit after all.
00:00:52Hey, old man! Don't die on me!
00:01:06Still unconscious? Forgive me!
00:01:12The reaper.
00:01:15Turns out it's a woman.
00:01:19I'm sorry, old man. I thought you were a river spirit.
00:01:21From now on, I will never listen to those customers spouting nonsense.
00:01:29I am no spirit, but I am just as powerful.
00:01:35Oh? Anyone can brag. Who exactly are you, old man?
00:01:43Truth be told, I am the reigning emperor.
00:01:47I had an accident traveling incognito, fell into the river, and drifted all night.
00:01:52Luckily, you fished me out, young lady.
00:01:54You did a great service saving my life.
00:01:57As long as you escort me back, you can have any reward you desire.
00:02:00I can even make you a princess if you wish.
00:02:08Has this guy lost his mind from the water?
00:02:11My grandfather was like this in his later years, too.
00:02:15One minute he claimed to be a god, and the next he said he was a fish.
00:02:19For old folks like him, I know exactly what to do.
00:02:21You just have to humor them.
00:02:29Yes, your majesty.
00:02:31You're soaked through.
00:02:32Do you want to change clothes first?
00:02:40Right.
00:02:42Help me get changed first,
00:02:44then summon the imperial physician.
00:02:49Why does my face hurt this much?
00:03:07Uncle Simon, this old man fell in the river.
00:03:10Help him change into something dry,
00:03:11and lend him some clothes.
00:03:40Tell her to come in and help me dress.
00:03:45You shameless old man!
00:03:47Asking an unmarried young woman to dress you?
00:03:50I'll teach you a lesson!
00:03:53Calm down, Uncle Simon.
00:03:54He's clearly not in his right mind.
00:03:58Palace maids have always dressed me.
00:04:01How does that make me shameless?
00:04:04Never mind.
00:04:06I won't argue with you.
00:04:08I won't argue with you.
00:04:21Maid,
00:04:23when will you take me back?
00:04:25Where do you live?
00:04:26The capital!
00:04:28What?
00:04:28Sir, do you even know how far the capital is from here?
00:04:33Then take me to the city.
00:04:36How do we get there?
00:04:37I wouldn't know.
00:04:39I have always traveled by carriage.
00:04:41This old man has really lost his mind.
00:04:49Goodman, let us eat first.
00:04:51We can talk about getting you home later.
00:04:56Besides catching fish,
00:04:58I am also great at cooking them.
00:05:12Smells delicious.
00:05:13Erica,
00:05:13you have not made fish soup in ages.
00:05:15You must be in a good mood today.
00:05:17I pulled a drowning old man from the river today.
00:05:19I made this to warm him up.
00:05:21He is totally confused.
00:05:22He cannot even remember his name or home.
00:05:31Avert your eyes!
00:05:32How dare you stare at me!
00:05:51Have you heard?
00:05:52Erica took in an old man claiming he's the emperor.
00:05:56He has definitely lost his mind.
00:06:01Guys,
00:06:02have you heard anything about a missing old man lately?
00:06:07Are you sure he is not faking it just to freeload food off you?
00:06:12Just let him be.
00:06:13Feeding him will not make us go broke.
00:06:20These wooden boards are too hard.
00:06:22My back is killing me.
00:06:26He snores louder than thunder.
00:06:28How is anyone supposed to sleep?
00:06:32This fish and tofu stew tastes even better than the food in the palace.
00:06:36When I return to the palace,
00:06:37I will make you the head royal chef.
00:06:39Yeah, right.
00:06:40Returning to the palace?
00:06:41I think you're losing your mind.
00:06:43He is totally out of his mind.
00:06:45Stop arguing with him.
00:06:46How dare you insult me!
00:06:54I gradually realize the old man might not be crazy.
00:06:58What he said could be true.
00:07:13What would you two like to eat?
00:07:15We heard.
00:07:17You took in a drowning old man recently.
00:07:27You are looking for him?
00:07:34You are...
00:07:40Master, we are here to take you home.
00:07:43There are too many eyes out here.
00:07:45Please keep quiet for now.
00:07:54These two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:03No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:06You see?
00:08:08I was telling the truth.
00:08:13Are they really your family?
00:08:15Why do you look like you do not know them?
00:08:19I command thousands of elite troops.
00:08:21I mean thousands of servants.
00:08:23How 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.
00:08:33Is 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.
00:08:43If he is the emperor,
00:08:44then I am the king of heaven.
00:08:47Master, it is getting late.
00:08:49Let's get going.
00:08:50It is already dark.
00:08:52You two must have traveled a long way.
00:08:54Eat 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.
00:09:14I told you it was delicious.
00:09:19Fair maid.
00:09:20You took such good care of our master.
00:09:22My master will surely reward you.
00:09:25Please come with us.
00:09:28Just take my boat.
00:09:29I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52What are you doing?
00:09:55Forgive us.
00:09:56Old man,
00:09:57when 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!
00:10:04Your entire lineage will be executed for this!
00:10:06Who is behind this?
00:10:07Hm.
00:10:09Ignore him, Wayne.
00:10:11Tonight we will silence every witness here.
00:10:14No one will ever know.
00:10:20Ferris, please do not be reckless.
00:10:22I'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.
00:10:39Let her go!
00:10:40Stop threatening an innocent woman!
00:10:46We've been spotted!
00:10:48Kill them now!
00:10:53Damn it!
00:10:55The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:08Shit!
00:11:10Shit!
00:11:12Shit!
00:11:12Shit!
00:11:13Shit!
00:11:14Shit!
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!
00:11:30Erica!
00:11:31How did you figure out
00:11:32these 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
00:11:40and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:42When they saw you,
00:11:43it was not relief I saw.
00:11:44Instead,
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
00:11:49something was wrong immediately.
00:11:51Once the food was ready,
00:11:52we secretly applied sweeping 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?
00:12:23Hey, 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,
00:12:34but grant you a hereditary title.
00:12:37Save it for when we get back.
00:12:38You are rambling again.
00:12:45Let's see you escape now.
00:12:47When they wake up,
00:12:48we'll question them properly.
00:12:49It is useless.
00:12:50Anyone sent to kill me is ready to die.
00:12:52Once they wake up,
00:12:53if they cannot escape,
00:12:54they will kill themselves.
00:12:56What do we do?
00:12:56We finally caught them alive.
00:12:58We cannot just sit and watch them die.
00:12:59First,
00:13:00I must return to the capital
00:13:01and find the commander
00:13:02of the Imperial Guards.
00:13:03That man is fiercely loyal to me
00:13:05and would never betray me.
00:13:06Come 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.
00:13:13Goodman,
00:13:14you had better change your name.
00:13:15They are in the shadows
00:13:15and we are in the open.
00:13:16We must be careful.
00:13:22Call me Arthur Crown, then.
00:13:24Why bother with a fake name?
00:13:26Just call yourself the emperor.
00:13:27This old man is hopeless.
00:13:36They are dead.
00:13:39I was right,
00:13:40was I not?
00:13:40Once their mission failed,
00:13:41if they couldn't escape,
00:13:42they were as good as dead.
00:13:44Besides knowing one of them was Jason Cole,
00:13:46we have no idea who was trying to have you killed.
00:13:49There is no need to investigate.
00:13:50Those with the best claim to the throne
00:13:51are 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.
00:13:58Only Prince Ryan,
00:13:59my youngest son,
00:14:00was exiled to a remote thief long ago,
00:14:02which actually makes him the safest choice.
00:14:03I have made my decision.
00:14:04I'll go to my youngest son first.
00:14:06The waterway is faster.
00:14:08Since Uncle Simon is rowing,
00:14:09he can take us south together.
00:14:27Arthur,
00:14:28how can you be sure
00:14:29your youngest son
00:14:30is not harboring a grudge
00:14:31and plotting your murder?
00:14:33You did exile him
00:14:34to that distant place.
00:14:39You do not understand the situation.
00:14:41Security around me is airtight.
00:14:42Anyone who could infiltrate
00:14:44the Imperial Gods
00:14:44must have enormous power.
00:14:46Ryan has been at his fee for years.
00:14:48He lost such capabilities long ago.
00:14:51Besides,
00:14:51my youngest son
00:14:52has always been straightforward.
00:14:54He's too honest
00:14:55to scheme against anyone.
00:14:57There's no way he'd rebel.
00:15:00So you are just exploiting
00:15:01a decent man.
00:15:02He had no share
00:15:03in the wealth and glory,
00:15:04yet you seek him
00:15:04the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:19People say this place
00:15:20is lawless.
00:15:22Full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:23Looking at it now,
00:15:25that is clearly not the case.
00:15:28This old man
00:15:29doesn't even know
00:15:30his own son's land.
00:15:36Excuse me,
00:15:37which way is
00:15:37Prince Ryan's estate?
00:15:39Are you here for justice
00:15:40or just for grain?
00:15:43What is the difference?
00:15:45If you seek justice,
00:15:46His Highness holds court
00:15:47for an hour every day
00:15:48specifically to receive petitions.
00:15:50If you need food and grain,
00:15:52register at the local office.
00:15:54Anyone living in this district
00:15:55can receive rations
00:15:56for their family,
00:15:57along with seeds
00:15:58for their crops.
00:15:58Judging by how you talk,
00:16:00Prince Ryan really seems
00:16:01like a kind man.
00:16:04You must be from out of town
00:16:06if you have not heard
00:16:07of Prince Ryan.
00:16:08His Highness is the Emperor's own son
00:16:11and has been our great savior.
00:16:12Yes,
00:16:13every household
00:16:14has an altar
00:16:15to pray for him.
00:16:16We pray for his health
00:16:18and for his long life
00:16:19so that he may keep
00:16:20the people of this region
00:16:22safe and sound.
00:16:23I have not even earned
00:16:24that much respect,
00:16:25but this ungrateful son of mine
00:16:26already has.
00:16:27They even built altars
00:16:28for him.
00:16:56Are you visiting
00:16:58from out of town?
00:17:00Goodman,
00:17:01we are here to find
00:17:02Prince Ryan.
00:17:02This gentleman
00:17:03is a distant relative
00:17:04of the prince.
00:17:05We have come to seek his help.
00:17:06Prince Ryan,
00:17:07he's a really great man.
00:17:09He spent years building canals
00:17:10and improving the farmland.
00:17:11He transformed this barren wasteland
00:17:13into a land of abundance.
00:17:15He certainly did.
00:17:16He reformed the local government
00:17:17and kept the law in check.
00:17:19Life is much better for us now.
00:17:21We are all grateful
00:17:22for the grace of the prince
00:17:23and his father,
00:17:24our emperor.
00:17:26Ryan,
00:17:28my long forgotten son.
00:17:30If you head straight
00:17:31to his estate,
00:17:32you might miss him.
00:17:33At this hour,
00:17:34he's always in the fields.
00:17:36Just follow this road ahead.
00:17:37He is at the largest rice field.
00:17:56Which one is Prince Ryan?
00:18:07I expected someone much older.
00:18:09He is clearly
00:18:09a handsome young man.
00:18:24Father.
00:18:46You both have shown great honor.
00:18:49You saved my father's lifetime and again.
00:18:51Words cannot express my gratitude.
00:18:55Please accept my bow.
00:18:56You are too kind, your highness.
00:18:57Now that we've brought him safely,
00:18:59Uncle Simon and I are done.
00:19:01We'll leave tomorrow.
00:19:12You cannot leave.
00:19:13I will take you to the capital
00:19:15and make you a princess.
00:19:25You cannot leave.
00:19:27I will take you to the capital
00:19:27So comfortable.
00:19:29I have spent most of my life on the river.
00:19:31I am just a rough boatman
00:19:32always braving the wind and rain.
00:19:34I never expected to see the day
00:19:35I could live like a wealthy man
00:19:37with servants waiting on me.
00:19:45The emperor is super paranoid right now.
00:19:48He trusts no one
00:19:49except us two.
00:19:50So Prince Ryan has to treat us well.
00:19:55I recently introduced this new crop variety.
00:19:58This year's harvest will definitely double.
00:20:00The yield is high and the grain is excellent.
00:20:04Excellent.
00:20:05Feeding the people shows true leadership.
00:20:10And repaying what you owe
00:20:11is just the right thing to do.
00:20:13You have three days to return the farmer's money
00:20:15or face severe punishment.
00:20:17You are incredibly wise, your highness.
00:20:18You're a truly fair lord.
00:20:19He handles cases fairly and carefully.
00:20:22Very methodical.
00:20:25My calm, humble son, Prince Ryan
00:20:28has actually achieved such great things
00:20:33here in this remote land.
00:20:35I completely misjudged him before.
00:20:45Erica, add more chili peppers.
00:20:48Well, I absolutely love your bold local dishes.
00:20:52They are far better than palace feasts.
00:20:55You got it.
00:20:56Just wait and see.
00:20:57I guarantee it will make you sweat.
00:21:06What are the prince and that man doing?
00:21:08Look away.
00:21:09Pretend you saw nothing.
00:21:13Erica, just look at this scene.
00:21:16The father is peeling garlic.
00:21:18The son is chopping wood
00:21:19and the wife is cooking.
00:21:21You three look just like a family.
00:21:29Uncle Simon, stop talking nonsense.
00:21:31His highness is royalty.
00:21:32I am just an ordinary fisher.
00:21:34We belong to different worlds.
00:21:37If word of this gets out,
00:21:39we could lose our heads.
00:21:59Sai, why has my escort not arrived yet?
00:22:03Assassins keep coming in waves.
00:22:05I am going to die out here sooner or later.
00:22:17Kill them all.
00:22:18Leave no one alive.
00:22:21Leave my father alone.
00:22:33Protect me!
00:22:44Father, go now.
00:22:47You ask for death?
00:22:52You ask for death?
00:22:57Fall back.
00:23:07Ryan, my dear son.
00:23:09Are you hurt?
00:23:11I am fine.
00:23:14As long as you are safe, father.
00:23:33My son, your life is too precious.
00:23:36How could you risk yourself like this?
00:23:39Quickly, send someone else to protect me.
00:23:47Father, your life is the one that truly matters.
00:23:50As your son and your subject,
00:23:51I would gladly give my life for you.
00:23:53Nonsense!
00:23:53Stop talking about dying!
00:23:55You will rule the Empire one day!
00:23:56How can you just die?
00:24:04I...
00:24:06I will take my leave now.
00:24:14Sigh.
00:24:16What a blockhead.
00:24:17Shouldn't he swear his loyalty right now and at least pretend to decline?
00:24:20No wonder he has been stuck in this wasteland and forgotten by everyone all these years.
00:24:31Erica, for the past few days I have been meaning to ask you.
00:24:35Do you want to be a princess or do you want to be my daughter-in-law?
00:24:40So his majesty actually heard what Uncle Simon said that day.
00:24:46No offense, your majesty, but I have no desire to live a life full of constant fear.
00:24:50If you truly wish to reward me, just give me some food and money.
00:24:53I would rather live a free and easy life.
00:25:04You make a fair point.
00:25:06If you actually became my daughter-in-law,
00:25:08it would be highly improper to have you cook fish for me every day.
00:25:16He is always thinking about his next meal.
00:25:19What a gluttonous old man.
00:25:29If anyone dares to harm our prince, we will fight them to the death.
00:25:33That is right!
00:25:34Protect the prince and protect the emperor!
00:25:36Charge!
00:25:38Charge!
00:25:41Charge!
00:25:43Charge!
00:25:47Charge!
00:25:53With a defense like this, not even a single fly could get through.
00:26:10After two weeks of such a massive search, the Imperial Escort has finally arrived.
00:26:26Your Majesty, now that you're safe, I can finally rest in peace!
00:26:35That is enough. Stop all this weeping.
00:26:38If anyone deserves thanks, it's Erika. Without her, I'd be dead ten times over.
00:26:55Thank you for saving the life of the Emperor. I shall never forget your kindness.
00:26:59It was nothing. Please stand up, Commander Wood.
00:27:15Listen to my decree. We return to the capital at once.
00:27:23Ryan!
00:27:26You shall return with me.
00:27:31I obey your command, Father.
00:27:39Your Highness. Please return to us soon.
00:27:44We cannot bear to see you leave.
00:27:52My fellow citizens, do not be sad.
00:27:56I will send an official of great integrity.
00:27:59I'll send an upright official who will treat everyone like family.
00:28:04As for Prince Ryan, the one you all admire, one thief is too small for his ambitions.
00:28:11I will entrust him with far greater duties.
00:28:15I hope he will not fail my expectations.
00:28:24It seems Prince Ryan is destined for greatness.
00:28:52I remember our first few days at the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:28:55That blockhead always came to me for advice on dealing with his father.
00:29:07He is your own father, how can you not know his temper and preferences?
00:29:17He is the supreme emperor.
00:29:19I however am just a neglected prince.
00:29:24I hardly saw my father's face growing up.
00:29:28But I notice how you interact with him Erica, speaking so freely.
00:29:34Even Prince Dylan and Prince Eden, his favorites, never dared to be so casual in the presence
00:29:38of our father.
00:29:39Do you have a secret for this?
00:29:43Not a secret at all.
00:29:45I just treat the emperor like any ordinary elder.
00:29:48Think of how commoners treat the elders in their family.
00:29:52And I treat the emperor the same way.
00:29:54I understand now.
00:30:05Ryan, what are you doing?
00:30:07When a father is in danger, a son belongs by his side to protect him.
00:30:20Having the trust and gratitude of the emperor and his heir, a life of luxury is surely guaranteed.
00:30:27They might even grant you the title of the official imperial fisher.
00:30:50You're majesty!
00:30:58Why the panic?
00:31:01Prince Dylan has rebelled.
00:31:03The rebel forces have blocked every path to the capital.
00:31:07Prince Eden has proclaimed himself king.
00:31:15You treacherous sons!
00:31:17While I was away, is this how you guard the capital for me?
00:31:26I deserve death.
00:31:28Since the emperor was missing in the river, the factions in court have already splintered.
00:31:32Prince Dylan intends to seize the throne, while Prince Eden waits to profit from the chaos.
00:31:41Prince Eden continues to seize the throne.
00:31:42A foolish dream!
00:31:43Those ungrateful and arrogant sons!
00:31:46Do they think that my empire can be toppled so easily?
00:31:53Your majesty, I anticipated this.
00:31:56I took the tiger tally from the capital.
00:31:58Once we escape this place, we can summon the troops to crush the rebellion.
00:32:03Good!
00:32:04Good!
00:32:05Where is the nearest army?
00:32:07The mountain city army is three days away.
00:32:12Father, the rebels of Prince Dylan have sealed every road out of this fief.
00:32:15We cannot leave by land.
00:32:17Our only chance is to take the river.
00:32:22However...
00:32:22However what?
00:32:23The imperial guards are all landlubbers from the capital.
00:32:26They only know how to fight on land.
00:32:27None of them can handle a boat.
00:32:29If we are caught on the river, we will...
00:32:36Why are you all staring at me?
00:32:38Surely you do not expect a lowly fisher to perform a miracle?
00:32:44Honestly, the imperial gold is not easily earned.
00:32:50I cannot simply watch my father face such peril.
00:32:53I will protect him as we fight our way out.
00:32:57Ryan!
00:32:58My dear son!
00:33:01I shall protect the emperor and the prince with my life on our journey to the mountain city army.
00:33:06Sigh.
00:33:11Erika, please look at the situation.
00:33:21Fine, fine!
00:33:22Since we have come this far, I will see this through to the end.
00:33:24I always finish what I start.
00:33:26I will take everyone with me.
00:33:30Thank you, Erika!
00:33:32Thank you, Erika!
00:33:37I am in your debt, Erika.
00:33:47I am in your debt, Erika.
00:33:51That boy is lucky indeed.
00:33:54As a prince of the realm, is he not a match for Erika?
00:33:57With the virtue and skill of Erika, any man would be blessed to have her.
00:34:05I have caused you much trouble.
00:34:11It is no trouble.
00:34:12But it is a shame that your highness must live as a lowly fisherman with me.
00:34:19In that case, please do not call me your highness.
00:34:22Will you call me Ryan?
00:34:24As you wish, Ryan!
00:34:25Let's board the boat!
00:34:27Yes, my darling.
00:34:29It is, uh...
00:34:57I'm feeling...
00:35:02You are a terror on dry land, but on the water, you are a pathetic mess.
00:35:08Silence. I will protect the Emperor with my life.
00:35:23Forgive me. I have become a burden to everyone.
00:35:32You are truly good for nothing.
00:35:38Get him into the cabin at once. Do not let anyone suspect us.
00:35:57State your business! Stop the boat for an inspection!
00:36:08Officer? We are just humble fishers. We are taking the fish caught today to Lincoln Ward to sell.
00:36:42The river is closed today. Turn back at once.
00:36:47We have an agreement with the tavern to deliver this fresh fish. If we do not deliver the fish today,
00:36:52the fish will start to rot, and we will have to pay the tavern. Please show some mercy. Make an
00:36:57exception for us and let us pass through.
00:37:01I said no, and I mean it! A single basket of fish means nothing!
00:37:04Careful, or I will take your head!
00:37:14You useless brat! It is all your fault!
00:37:19If you had not insisted on this route, we wouldn't have missed the delivery!
00:37:22Now we are going to lose every penny!
00:37:32Heavens above! What am I going to do? I was counting on this silver to pay for my own burial!
00:37:38Now it is all gone!
00:37:53Father, please, that is enough.
00:38:01Officer, please show some mercy! The poor man is counting on this catch to survive until his final day! If
00:38:08this sail falls through, he will trade my life for his burial!
00:38:15Get moving! Move along! All that noise is giving me a headache!
00:38:24Ryan, do not take it to heart. I was a bit too rough with you just now. It was only
00:38:28a matter of necessity. However, this matter stays between the three of us. You must never mention it again.
00:38:53I am dead! I am so dead! Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:19All vessels and civilians are forbidden to pass! Stay where you are for questioning!
00:39:27This is not good. They must have discovered the decoy of my father.
00:39:29The five of us escaped in total secrecy. After leaving one man in the estate of Prince Ryan, he posed
00:39:34as the Emperor to distract the rebels in hopes of buying us more time.
00:39:38Now it appears that the rebels have stormed the estate of Prince Ryan. They realize the Emperor was not inside,
00:39:43and that is why they intensified the search.
00:40:12What do you think you are doing? You are not allowed to set up a stall here!
00:40:15Please calm down, officer. Since the river is closed today, we have nowhere else to go anyway. This boat is
00:40:19full of fresh fish caught today, and they will all rot by tomorrow morning. Why not let me cook them
00:40:23right here? You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal and keep yourselves warm.
00:40:27Hurry up, then, as we are all starving!
00:40:50Officers, you have had a long day. Come and have a taste of the fresh catch!
00:40:54We have been camping in the wild for days without a single full meal. I am absolutely famished!
00:40:58The scent of this fish is incredible! I will not be polite, then!
00:41:01Your Majesty, why are you so well behaved today? Are you not sneaking a bite for once?
00:41:07Do not think I did not notice. All those fish were caught right beside the boat.
00:41:11Look! Look! Look!
00:41:39No, no, no, no.
00:41:44Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:41:58Jason Cole.
00:42:06That woman from the Shady Stall.
00:42:13So you are still alive after all.
00:42:26Stop eating, everyone!
00:42:27The targets are here!
00:42:28Capture them at once!
00:42:53Down.
00:42:56Down.
00:42:58Down.
00:42:59Down.
00:43:01And you still claim you do not run a shady store.
00:43:03I will make you pay for this today.
00:43:13Ryan.
00:43:16I am fine.
00:43:19Well, I am not fine!
00:43:34Once he sets foot on land, he will be a formidable warrior once again.
00:43:37The prowess of the commander of the Imperial Gods is certainly not to be taken lightly.
00:43:42Yeah!
00:43:43Ah!
00:43:44Ah!
00:43:47Ah!
00:43:50Ah!
00:43:52Ah!
00:43:54Ah!
00:43:56Ah!
00:43:59Ah!
00:44:00Ah!
00:44:01Ah!
00:44:01Ah!
00:44:01Ah!
00:44:02Ah!
00:44:02Ah!
00:44:03Ah!
00:44:04Ah!
00:44:05Ah!
00:44:07Ah!
00:44:08Ah!
00:44:08Ah!
00:44:09Ah!
00:44:11Ah!
00:44:12Ah!
00:44:12Ah!
00:44:24Ah!
00:44:25Ah!
00:44:26Ah!
00:44:28Ah!
00:44:29Ah!
00:44:30Ah!
00:44:30Ah!
00:44:31Ah!
00:44:31Ah!
00:44:33Ah!
00:44:33Ah!
00:44:43Kill the lights.
00:45:10Finally, we are back on my turf.
00:45:29They are hiding right here.
00:45:30The prince said that their capture would bring a massive reward.
00:45:35Man 1, 2, 2, 1, and 2, 3, 2, 1.
00:45:41Erica, what do we do now?
00:45:53Your Majesty Ryan.
00:45:55Follow my lead.
00:46:12What was that noise?
00:46:21Help! There are river demons in the water!
00:46:26Help! There are crimes in the water!
00:46:41W
00:47:08What? What is that?
00:47:10Could river demons really exist?
00:47:21Stay back!
00:47:23Do not come any closer!
00:47:42Chief! You have finally returned!
00:48:06Chief! Is this band under your command?
00:48:09Yes!
00:48:12Chief! You are the chief of this crew?
00:48:19You heard them call me that, did you not?
00:48:24Chief! You are a bandit queen!
00:48:28Nonsense! We are only the anchor crew!
00:48:32Hiding a band of a thousand thieves!
00:48:35Huh?
00:48:37Somewhere in a legendary mountain!
00:48:42Commander Wood! You have been reading too many heroic fables!
00:48:56What is the matter with him?
00:49:00His pride is just wounded!
00:49:02Oh?
00:49:03He tried to play the hero just now, but he did not expect that you are far better at fighting
00:49:09than he is!
00:49:16Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law, please don't give up on my hopeless son!
00:49:22Your majesty! Are you afraid of losing a daughter-in-law, or just afraid of having no fish to eat?
00:49:29A bit of both, I suppose!
00:49:36The great Prince Ryan would never fall for a wild woman like me!
00:50:01Charge! Charge!
00:50:03Soldiers, hear my command!
00:50:05Prince Dylan and Prince Eden have betrayed the throne!
00:50:08Treason of this magnitude shall find no mercy!
00:50:10Follow me to crush this rebellion to victory!
00:50:13To victory!
00:50:31The Emperor reclaimed the army.
00:50:33He struck the rebels at once.
00:50:35Loyalists rallied to the throne.
00:50:36They soon destroyed the power of Prince Dylan and Prince Eden.
00:50:39The Empire was secured again.
00:50:41Ryan was named the Crown Prince.
00:50:43With peace restored to the realm, the Emperor returned to the capital.
00:50:47American a
00:50:48opener.
00:50:58Erikka!
00:51:00Why did you choose to help me?
00:51:12So you figured out the truth after all.
00:51:22Eat, do not go hungry.
00:51:24Long ago, when I was begging with Grandfather, we passed through the territory you ruled.
00:51:27You were just a boy, newly exiled. Yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like us, those with
00:51:32no home and little hope.
00:51:33Driven by that mercy, I gathered my strength and fought my way north.
00:51:36Armed with nothing but my skill in the water and a stubborn spirit that refused to break,
00:51:39I carved out a path through every hardship until I became the chief of the anchor crew.
00:51:43Our crew operates between light and shadow, which is why Simon and I often wore disguises.
00:51:46We posed as simple fishers and wine cellars just to seek out a few business opportunities.
00:51:48I never expected to save the emperor by a mere chance.
00:51:52I did everything possible to keep him safe, waiting for the right moment to bring him to you.
00:51:56I only wanted him to see the truth for himself, to see a prince who truly serves the common people,
00:52:00and to see the perfect order you brought to this land.
00:52:05Everything that followed was quite unexpected. I never thought the road would be so dangerous.
00:52:09Even less did I think you'd lose your heart to me.
00:52:12Your Highness, you are destined to be a great leader in the future.
00:52:17Knowing that makes every sacrifice I made feel worthwhile.
00:52:23Am I nothing more than a title in your eyes?
00:52:40You are the man who will one day wear the crown.
00:52:42You should marry a lady from a noble house. I have been free and wild for far too long.
00:52:45I only want a simple life upon the water.
00:52:47Fate brought us together, but it was not meant to last.
00:52:52Once. My only dream was to be a great ruler.
00:52:55I would lead the empire with wisdom and bring peace to the people.
00:52:58But now, I wish that I were free.
00:53:01To wander with the woman I love.
00:53:10Your Highness, you have your own path to follow. And I have mine as well.
00:53:15I am going to lead the anchor crew to become the greatest power in the world,
00:53:17while you must carry the weight of your people.
00:53:23I know that I cannot make you stay. Go now, and I will watch you leave.
00:53:37Ryan.
00:53:38Hmm.
00:53:43When you stood in front of me that day...
00:53:46It truly meant the world to me.
00:53:55Forget it. To hell with the rules. I am the chief after all.
00:53:58Not some refined lady from a noble house.
00:54:08My заб
00:54:11You know what I wanted?
00:54:13My name is passed away.
00:54:15Your mother!
00:54:16Your mother!
00:54:21My father!
00:54:23My father!
00:54:24My father!
00:54:25My father!
00:54:26My father!
00:54:27My father!
00:54:29My father!
00:54:29There is no family.
00:54:46I really thought that you would follow that lad to the capital as empress.
00:54:59I am the leader of the anchor crew. Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:55:20Anyway, I've secured a grand future for the anchor crew.
00:55:25A grand future? What kind of future?
00:55:54Chief! Chief!
00:55:56Chief! Look, so this is the future you promised the crew?
00:56:11Chief!
00:56:18The future leader of our crew has the crown prince as his father. Who would ever dare to cross us
00:56:23now? Even the authorities will have to step aside for us.
00:56:35When the emperor and the crown prince returned to the capital, they asked me what kind of reward I desired.
00:56:40I did not give them an answer.
00:56:44Because the reward that truly satisfies me is something I have already received.
00:57:06Chief! Something is wrong! The soldiers! The soldiers! They have surrounded the dock of our crew!
00:57:11Chief!
00:57:12Chief!
00:57:19Chief!
00:57:22Chief!
00:57:23Chief!
00:57:26Chief!
00:57:30Chief!
00:57:32Chief!
00:57:32Chief!
00:57:39Chief!
00:57:39Chief!
00:57:39Chief!
00:57:39Chief!
00:57:39Chief!
00:57:40Chief!
00:57:40Chief!
00:57:41Chief!
00:57:47Chief!
00:57:51Chief!
00:57:51Chief!
00:57:52Chief!
00:57:52Chief!
00:57:52Chief!
00:57:53Chief!
00:57:53Chief!
00:57:53Chief!
00:57:54Chief!
00:57:55Chief!
00:57:57Chief!
00:57:58Chief!
00:57:58Chief!
00:57:59Chief!
00:57:59Chief!
00:58:01Chief!
00:58:02Chief!
00:58:03Chief!
00:58:04Chief!
00:58:04Chief!
00:58:07Chief!
00:58:12Chief!
00:58:15Since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start showing symptoms by now.
00:58:19Your appetite must be quite poor.
00:58:22I searched the entire capital for this.
00:58:24Preserved ginger is a miracle cure for nausea.
00:58:32Quite a grand spectacle, your highness.
00:58:34Winging ginger with the entire imperial guards.
00:58:37The crown prince has no place at this dock when he belongs on the throne of gold.
00:58:44The throne of gold is far too cold, and it is not comfortable at all.
00:58:48I gave you my word that I would protect you for life.
00:58:53Chopping wood and building fires is a skill I have truly mastered.
00:58:59Well, well, do you all see this?
00:59:03The eye of our chief is truly sharp.
00:59:06The follow-up service is quite impressive.
00:59:08Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door.
00:59:23What are you waiting for?
00:59:24Since you are here to build fires, get to the backyard at once.
00:59:26Chop that pile of wet wood.
00:59:30Hey!
00:59:31I am going!
00:59:32What are you waiting for?
00:59:32I am going!
00:59:32I am going!
00:59:36I am going!
00:59:43I am going!
01:00:01your highness have mercy this is an urgent border report the emperor claims a headache as an excuse
01:00:06and insists that you review the matter you must make the final decision at least give it a single
01:00:09glance can you not see that i am busy the feet of erica are badly swollen today i must finish
01:00:14this pile of wood quickly to boil water for her foot bath
01:00:23he is actually boiling water for a foot bath to think the crown prince would perform such a chore
01:00:27if this news ever reaches the capital the old men of the censorate will certainly die of shame
01:00:38just leave the reports on that large stone once erica is finally in a deep sleep i will find the
01:00:43time to review them nothing shall interrupt her foot bath now
01:00:55chief chief look at that beggar over there why does he look exactly like that old man arthur crown
01:01:10erica quick erica quick i am here prepare for my welcome
01:01:27your majesty you belong on the throne in the capital why did you come here looking like this
01:01:37i am done with that throne it is so stiff that it is painful to sit on the palace food
01:01:41is worse than
01:01:42tasteless dishwater erica i've been starving for three whole days prepare a bowl of fish and tofu at once
01:02:06now this is the flavor that i missed since i returned to the palace those servants have served
01:02:11nothing but the most bland and hollow meals they focus only on fancy decorations everything looks
01:02:15beautiful to the eye but there is no actual flavor within my sense of taste is slowly fading away
01:02:18because of them
01:02:26you are a distinguished guest but with that look did you run away from home or are you just slacking
01:02:33off on your duties
01:02:41who cares about that in this world of oz a good meal is the only thing that counts
01:02:59erica i would like another bowl of rice drench it in that fish broth for me
01:03:09there is plenty of fish and rice for everyone
01:03:26erica while enjoying the fish you prepared these days i have come up with a flawless plan i will fire
01:03:33the head of the imperial kitchen who only knows how to make useless radish carvings you must bring the
01:03:39little one and come back to take charge once that is done ryan can finish the reports in the throne
01:03:44room
01:03:44and walk right over to the inner palace to be with you i will also get to enjoy this tofu
01:03:50fish every
01:03:50every single day life would be absolutely perfect
01:04:04your majesty i am the leader of the anchor crew not some personal cook for your family
01:04:18leading the imperial kitchen is an honor that most only dream of surely it beats the harsh life on the
01:04:25water i have several thousand members of my crew who rely on me to fill their bellies if i move
01:04:31to
01:04:31the palace for comfort do you expect them to pack their bags enter the capital and drain the national treasury
01:04:50father the spirit of erica is wild she loves the breeze of the open river
01:04:54she hates the high walls of the palace and what of you you are the crown prince
01:05:02i have made my decision i will simply work twice as hard i can handle the throne during the day
01:05:08and return to this dock every night sean rose fast enough for the trip so i will not feel any
01:05:14exhaustion
01:05:17your highness please show some mercy if you travel back and forth like that i am the one who will
01:05:23truly
01:05:52suffer
01:05:54Your highness, your head is bleeding. You are injured, so please sit and rest.
01:06:00This little bit of blood means nothing.
01:06:05Erika is in far more pain than I am.
01:06:22Push harder, chief! I can see the head now!
01:06:45Congratulations to you all! The chief has finally given birth! It is a radiant baby girl! Both mother and daughter
01:06:52are well.
01:07:01Wonderful! I finally have a granddaughter! I have finally gained a sweet granddaughter who will never grow a beard like
01:07:07my sons!
01:07:16She is so beautiful. Her features are truly delicate.
01:07:21She looks just like Erika. She is the perfect image of Erika.
01:07:25Hear my imperial decree! Every one of the anchor crew shall receive a full year of funds for fish stock.
01:07:29This reward will come from my private funds. Send another decree back to the capital. Let the entire nation celebrate.
01:07:34I want every subject of the empire to share the blessing of my granddaughter.
01:07:43Your majesty, a nationwide celebration? The court will surely fall into a total uproar.
01:07:50Let them fume then! As no one dares to oppose me! Send any who disagree to argue with me in
01:07:54person!
01:07:56What the hell!

01:08:46Look at our little chief here!
01:08:49Picking up the oar during her birthday rite.
01:08:51She has only just learned how to walk, yet she already wants to rule this river for her mother.
01:09:00Chief, prepare for the arrival of the emperor.
01:09:02The emperor has finally finished the court session.
01:09:04After reviewing the final tax report, he did not even stop to change out of the robe.
01:09:08He has already worn out three horses and is racing through the mountain pass right now.
01:09:16My sweetheart!
01:09:18My sweetheart!
01:09:19Bring the boat to the shore now!
01:09:21I have caught a massive fish!

01:09:24Tonight, we will all enjoy a feast of tofu and fish!
01:09:48Erica!
01:09:49The capital is far too suffocating.
01:09:51I have left all state affairs to the ministers so that I can stay here with you for two weeks.
01:09:55Well, I will handle the firewood tonight.
01:09:58I was once just a simple fisher on this river.
01:10:02With a single cast of my neck that year, I brought in the most precious catch of my life.
01:10:07And I have guarded the only kingdom that truly matters.
01:10:10I have構ido someassa weapons work that I know.
01:10:17I love you.
