Short filmTranscript
00:02Where am I? What happened?
00:06I stayed up reading and I passed out from exhaustion.
00:10How did this happen?
00:14I do not believe in destiny.
00:18I choose it.
00:20Not even God gets to control my life.
00:34Can't talk?
00:36As a CEO, am I gonna die in the woods?
00:40Are you kidding me?
00:45Help! I don't want to die!
00:52Father, there is a child. Alarak, bring the child to me.
00:56Alarak? Wait, that name sounds familiar.
01:00Are these two, the king and the crown prince, the novel I was reading?
01:05I'm actually inside the book.
01:07Father, did you hear that?
01:09In the novel, they adopt an abandoned baby.
01:12Then that hypocrite Neressa realizes the baby soul is pure energy,
01:16perfect for her dark magic.
01:19He'll play nice and suck me dry!
01:22I'm the cannon fodder!
01:24I'm gonna die!
01:26Father, we are truly hearing her thoughts.
01:29But how did she know Nerissa?
01:31How can she know things that haven't happened?
01:33Keep watching.
01:35Perhaps she is a warning from the heavens.
01:39She is a bright and lovely kid.
01:41I'll raise her in the palace.
01:44Don't take me!
01:46Your whole family!
01:48The short-lived goat!
01:53Alarak, I have state affairs to attend to.
01:56Watch over the infant for now.
01:57I'll have the maids prepare a separate room for her.
02:02Don't go, old man!
02:04Did she just call father an old man?
02:10Alarak, what is that in your arms?
02:14No way!
02:15You've gotta be kidding me!
02:17I literally just got here!
02:19And there she is!
02:20The heroine, Neressa!
02:23Classic fairytale face.
02:26However, total lie.
02:28That's how she fools everyone.
02:30Alarak?
02:31What is that in your arms?
02:33Father just rescued this baby from the wild.
02:36He's planning to adopt her.
02:37Such a pure soul.
02:39Perfect for my dark magic.
02:43Drain her, and I'm unstoppable.
02:46Alarak, since father is busy, why not let me watch her?
02:50I promise to cherish her like my own flesh and blood.
02:54Help!
02:55You idiot!
02:56She's going to eat me!
02:57My soul is literally screaming!
03:01Stop!
03:02I can't breathe!
03:05Someone help me!
03:11Nerissa!
03:12What did you do?
03:15I don't know, Alarak!
03:17I barely touched her!
03:20Why is she bleeding?
03:21Oh my god, is she too frail to even be held?
03:24Come on!
03:25You were literally trying to suck the life out of me, and now I'm too fragile?
03:33Alarak, I know you're stiff, but making Nerissa cry?
03:36That's a new low.
03:38Julian, don't blame him.
03:40He's probably just stressed about the new baby.
03:43Alarak, I think you owe Nerissa as an explanation.
03:46Ugh, another brainwashed pawn.
03:49Julian, do you have any idea she's the reason you end up as a beggar on the streets?
03:54Wake up, genius!
03:57I'm sorry, Alarak.
03:58I'm not used to holding a baby.
04:00I didn't mean to hurt her.
04:02Hey, don't be upset, Aunt Nerissa.
04:04Got this for you on my trip.
04:05Best rouge.
04:06Ugh!
04:06Again!
04:07Cheap junk.
04:08Like I care.
04:09So annoying.
04:11Ugh, Julian is totally blinded.
04:13Every single gift he gives her ends up in the trash the second he turns around.
04:18Wait.
04:19What was that?
04:20Thought you were smarter.
04:21She literally fools you.
04:23No wonder you end up a beggar in the book.
04:25You could have been brilliant for this kingdom.
04:27Instead, she bleeds you dry while turning farther against you, making it look like you're
04:32the one wasting it all.
04:33Can I actually hear her thoughts?
04:35Don't be fooled by Nerissa's innocent act.
04:38Look at her sleeve.
04:39That ruby ring.
04:40The only heirloom your mom left is in there.
04:45Oh, wait.
04:46I just remembered.
04:47Heh.
04:47I grabbed the wrong one.
04:49Aunt Nerissa, this rouge isn't for you.
04:50It's actually for the headmate.
04:52What?
04:53But-
04:53Give it back.
04:54I'll bring you something much better later.
05:01Caught red-handed.
05:03Let's see how you lie your way out of this one, princess.
05:13Why do you have my mother's ruby ring?
05:16I-I have no idea.
05:17It just appeared on my desk.
05:20Julian, I was on my way to give it back to father.
05:23Wow, the audacity!
05:25Did the ring grow legs and crawl into your sleeve to dance?
05:31Why didn't it crawl into my arms instead?
05:41Mother's ruby ring.
05:45It chose her.
05:47Fine.
05:48Then as a welcome gift.
05:50It's hers now.
05:52Really?
05:53Julian, you're the best!
05:56Since you're being so generous, I'll make sure you become the richest man alive.
06:02No one's stealing from you on my watch.
06:05I was going to refine this ruby.
06:07It's the last ingredient I need for my level up potion.
06:11I have to get it back.
06:14She's still a baby.
06:15This gift is way too valuable for her.
06:18Julian, let me hold on to it for now.
06:21Too much for her, but not for you.
06:24Or is it that you've never cared for anything I give you, and only have eyes for my mother's heirloom?
06:30Is this really what you think of me?
06:32Forget it, Julian.
06:34You're wasting your breath.
06:36She'll never admit it, no matter how much you press her.
06:39Forget the ring!
06:41Felix is ambushed and badly hurt at the border.
06:44The enemy spies will kidnap him if we don't move!
06:47The border.
06:49Felix is in trouble?
06:55Father!
07:07Father, where is Felix?
07:09Where's my brother?
07:13Father!
07:14Alaric!
07:15I just saw Felix by the canyon.
07:17It looked like he was retreating that way.
07:19Move!
07:20Let's find him!
07:21Don't listen to her!
07:23It's the other way!
07:25She's lying so you won't find him, and Felix will be kidnapped by the spies!
07:30If you don't save him, Father, you'll think he abandoned his post.
07:35You'll lose all trust in him, and it ends with the brothers killing each other.
07:40Poor Felix!
07:41Perfect.
07:42This is the chance to see if this baby's thoughts are actually true.
07:48Father!
07:49I saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction.
07:52Felix might be over there.
07:53In that case, split up!
07:54Search both ways!
08:02To the left!
08:03Hurry!
08:04Felix is behind that cave!
08:07He's barely holding on!
08:09Hang on, Felix!
08:15Felix!
08:17Felix!
08:17We made it just in time!
08:20Don't worry, brother.
08:21I am here to save you!
08:23I'm so sorry, Father Alaric.
08:25I was so panicked on the battlefield that I got confused.
08:29I actually meant to point in this direction too.
08:32That's enough!
08:32We need to treat Alaric.
08:33Just get out!
08:49Father, there are spies in the border guard.
08:51Our secret passage.
08:53The enemy found it.
08:54I know.
08:55Just focus on recovering.
08:57I'll handle the rest.
08:58Thank God!
08:59In the book, the king didn't trust Felix and refused to heal him.
09:02He was even going to exile him.
09:05Felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy,
09:07but he was framed as a spy and father executed him with his own hands on the battlefield.
09:13He died screaming his innocence.
09:15Am I actually hearing this baby's thoughts?
09:18How can she predict the future?
09:21Father, who is this baby?
09:23I've decided to formally adopt her.
09:24From this day on, she is Princess Sarah of Valeria.
09:27What about Nerissa?
09:29She hasn't even been officially titled yet.
09:31Oh my God!
09:32Felix, did you lose your brain on the battlefield?
09:34You're still worried about that wicked woman.
09:36You were hit by a poison arrow, remember?
09:39She's the one who brewed that poison.
09:41She used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions.
09:43Father, was I poisoned?
09:46Don't worry.
09:48I will get to the bottom of this.
09:54Father is actually adapting that grit, giving her a royal title.
09:58I'm the only princess in this palace.
10:00Ever since that baby arrived, nothing has gone right.
10:02I didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence.
10:05If I can't have her soul, I'll kill her.
10:08What are you doing here eavesdropping?
10:10Julian, I was just so worried about Felix.
10:13Worried?
10:14I certainly didn't see any sign of that.
10:16Is it because I'm too clumsy?
10:18Do you all love the new baby now and don't care about me anymore?
10:21Unbelievable!
10:22Inviting a baby for attention?
10:24I've never seen anyone so shameless!
10:27Enough with the drama.
10:28We're taking Sarah to the royal auction.
10:29Get out of the way.
10:30The auction?
10:31I wanna go too!
10:32We're gonna buy a welcome print for Sarah.
10:34Why are you coming?
10:34You always used to take me with you.
10:37Follow us if you must.
10:38Hmph.
10:38Fine by me.
10:39That's where Nerissa finds the sapphire necklace.
10:42It has a shield that can block a lethal blow in a crisis.
10:45Father's final strike field because of that necklace.
10:49I want it!
10:50Brothers, you better buy it for me or I'll cry my eyes out!
10:55Wow!
10:56I want that and that too!
10:58Being a princess is amazing!
11:00All these shiny treasures should be mine!
11:02Distinguished guests, next up is the pure snow lotus from the frozen lands.
11:09It contains the purest energy, perfect for crafting holy elixirs.
11:15Starting at 500 gold coins!
11:18The pure snow lotus?
11:19This is exactly what I need to replace the ruby for my potion.
11:23Alaric, I really want that.
11:25Could you get it for me?
11:27Fine.
11:29I knew it.
11:30This moron is still no match for my mind control spell.
11:355,000 gold coins!
11:37Sold!
11:37Congratulations to the crown prince on securing this treasure!
11:40Thank you, Alaric.
11:41I knew you cared about me the most.
11:42Don't mention it.
11:44Felix needs the pure energy of this lotus for his recovery.
11:47It's for him.
11:48Ha!
11:48Alaric is finally wising up!
11:51Nerassa's mind control doesn't seem to work anymore!
11:53Where is that sapphire necklace Sarah mentioned?
11:55Did the information be wrong?
11:57Excuse me, is this how a major auction house treats the Vilonia royals?
12:01Peddling these common trinkles to us?
12:04My apologies, Prince Julian.
12:05We did just receive a true treasure today.
12:08It wasn't in the catalogue yet.
12:09Don't make us wait.
12:10Bring it out now.
12:11If our Sarah likes it, I don't care who bids, I'll pay ten times their price.
12:14What?
12:14Spending that much on a baby who knows nothing?
12:16Julian, have you lost your mind?
12:19Julian, so you're using the national treasury to entertain a baby.
12:23I suppose your kingdom is nearing its end.
12:26Your understanding of wealth clearly differs from mine.
12:30What you see as a national fortune I see as a single day's profit.
12:33That's it!
12:34The eternal guardian!
12:36With this, no wicked curse or dark magic can ever touch me.
12:41Sarah definitely wants it.
12:42That's mine!
12:43My instincts are screaming that treasure was meant for me!
12:46There it is.
12:47No matter the cost, that necklace must never fall into Narissan's hands.
12:54Distinguished guests, this is the eternal guardian starting bid 10,000 gold coins!
13:04Alaric, Julian, why aren't you bidding?
13:06This treasure is one of a kind.
13:08It would be a tragedy to lose it.
13:11Sister, how did you know I liked it?
13:13Since you're so thoughtful, why don't you buy it for me?
13:17Princess Narisha of Valeria bids 50,000 gold coins!
13:21It's not me!
13:22I don't have the money!
13:23I can't afford this!
13:24These brothers and father have showered you with wealth for years,
13:27and you have the nerve to say you have no money?
13:30Figures.
13:30She's been using every pure energy treasure for her vile potions.
13:35Alaric, Julian is being so mean to me.
13:38100,000.
13:40I knew it.
13:41He's the easiest to manipulate.
13:44One fake tear and he'll hand over the necklace.
13:46I can see Sarah is very fond of this treasure.
13:49Since neither of you can afford it, I'll buy it for Sarah as a welcome gift.
13:52Enough!
13:53You two are disgusting ganging up on poor, innocent Narissa.
13:58Fine.
13:58If you two won't appreciate her, I will take this necklace for her.
14:05200,000!
14:08I knew that Prince Sebastian looked familiar!
14:11It's definitely him!
14:12Narissa's already in league with him!
14:14They're just shurs pushing the price up!
14:17In the book, Julian over ten times the value just to save face!
14:20And half that money went straight into Sebastian's pocket!
14:23Well, Prince Sebastian, I wonder exactly how much you're willing to pay to play the hero for my sister.
14:29His limit is one million gold coins.
14:31He'll stop right there and wait for Julian to take the bait!
14:35990,000 gold coins.
14:37Idiots.
14:38Always doubling the bid.
14:40One more raise from Sebastian and Julian will definitely hit two million.
14:43Then both the treasure and the money will be mine.
14:46One million!
14:47Anyone else?
14:49One million gold coins going once!
14:52Twice!
14:53One million sold!
14:55Congratulations to Prince Sebastian on winning the Eternal Guardian!
14:59Wait!
15:00Why aren't you bidding?
15:01Sold!
15:02Where am I supposed to get that much money?
15:03Haha!
15:04Talk about a backfire!
15:05Let's see how you two split the loot now!
15:11Narasa!
15:13You told me Julian was a rich fool who would drain the treasury for you!
15:16Why isn't he bidding?
15:17Have you lost your mind?
15:19You can't afford it so you're throwing dirt on me?
15:21I have no idea what you're talking about!
15:24Oh wow!
15:25Look at them tear each other apart!
15:27Sebastian, you're toast.
15:30Narasa treats men like disposable rags.
15:33She's done with you.
15:34Prince Sebastian, by the rules.
15:37If you refuse to pay, you must pay a 50% penalty immediately.
15:42Or Vyreboot Kingdom will be blacklisted forever!
15:46Blacklist me?
15:47How dare you?
15:49My father is the grand archmit of the sacred domain!
15:52Try it, and I'll tear this auction house down stone by stone!
15:57Guards!
15:58Get in here!
16:01Surround this dishonest auction house!
16:04Smash everything!
16:05Kill anyone who stands in my way!
16:10Try me!
16:12Brothers, watch out!
16:14He's got a forbidden scroll hidden in his boot!
16:16He's planning to trigger a lava blurs to burn everyone alive and fake it as an accident!
16:29In the original story, it's exactly this auction that rules his father's trust in at Julian!
16:34That's how at Julian started his downward spiral into ruin!
16:38Julian, don't let Narisa and Sebastian destroy you!
16:41This entire mess is a trap they set up together!
16:45I planned to use Julian for a weapon, but you forced me.
16:50Today, that sapphire necklace must be mine!
17:02Sebastian, did you forget this auction house is my property?
17:05You are declaring open war on the kingdom of Valeria!
17:18Wow!
17:19Julian is amazing!
17:21He's a total beast!
17:23He looks so cool!
17:24I knew Julian was a genius in both business and magic!
17:28Did you hear that?
17:29Sarah definitely likes me more.
17:36Since Prince can't afford it, I'm taking this necklace.
17:41This is my official gift to Sarah.
17:44No!
17:45That's mine!
17:49That's mine!
17:50Oh my god!
17:52Is Narisa actually having a meltdown right now?
17:55And her dark magic isn't even finished yet!
17:58Showing her true face now would be a huge mistake!
18:01She still needs the Divine Stagger's antlers from the upcoming royal hunt!
18:06Julian, Alaric only cares about the baby now.
18:10You can't be biased against me too, can you?
18:12You used to cherish me the most!
18:13Look at you.
18:14Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewelry,
18:17all paid for by me, now that you mention it.
18:19I need to get Sarah a gift.
18:21I'm buying out every single item from today's auction.
18:24Send it all to the palace as gifts to Sarah.
18:28Wow! Julian is the best!
18:30He's literally a walking goldmine!
18:32He's so rich and powerful!
18:35I love this CEO vibe!
18:37Julian is my absolute favorite!
18:41You've all been bewitched by this mysterious brat!
18:44I'm going back to tell Father and Felix!
18:48They'll make this right!
18:52What grievances do you have to report?
18:54Since we're all here, why don't you tell me yourself?
18:57Wow! Father and Felix look so cool making an entrance like that!
19:10Felix! You're finally here!
19:13They're ganging up on me with that little brat!
19:15You have to do something!
19:17Don't cry.
19:18You are my most precious sister.
19:21I will make sure justice is served for you.
19:24Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet.
19:27He's still under my spell.
19:28With him on my side, no one dared to touch me.
19:32Oh no! I remember now!
19:35Nerissa's poison arrows contain a mind control curse.
19:39In the book, that's how she manipulated Felix into entering the enemy camp alone.
19:45To frame him as a spy!
19:47Help!
19:48The poison in Aunt Felix isn't gone yet!
19:51Father!
19:52Alaric!
19:53Julian!
19:54Save him!
19:55He's being controlled by that witch again!
20:05Get off me!
20:09Oh my god!
20:10My brothers are way too cool!
20:13That seamless coordination was a perfect 10!
20:16Julian refining, Alaric assisting, and the molytics waking up?
20:21So badass!
20:25Alaric, bring Sarah to me.
20:27I want to hold the little one too.
20:30I almost forgot about this old geezer.
20:34Don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to punish Julian.
20:39In the book, Alaric just tried to speak up for Julian,
20:42and this old man banished them to the Black Dormian Abyss for the royal hunt.
20:46He called it training, but it was a death sentence!
20:49They were swarmed by high level beasts.
20:52Alaric lost a leg, and Julian's manor veins were shattered protecting him.
20:57He became a total cripple.
20:59Father, may I hold Sarah as well?
21:02And then there's poor Felix!
21:04He was supposed to be the champion of the hunt, titled the God of War,
21:08and lead our armies to victory.
21:10But in the book, Nerissa made sure he never even made it back from the border.
21:14The next time he saw father was on the battlefield as enemies.
21:19Such a tragic...
21:20Enough!
21:21You're just ganging up on me!
21:23When my father finishes his meditation, he'll slaughter you all!
21:26Fine.
21:26Since you're so confident, we'll see you at the royal hunt!
21:29Let's see who kills who.
21:31Return to the palace!
21:39Don't touch me!
21:40Aren't you afraid I'll run over there right now and tell them exactly who you really are?
21:45Useless trash!
21:46Stay away from me!
21:47If it weren't for my grand plan, I'd rip your tongue out right now!
21:49How could you think that?
21:50I'm only using them to gather intelligence.
21:53Don't forget, we are allies for the hunt.
21:56You'd better mean that.
22:02Tomorrow is the royal hunt.
22:05All three of you will participate and fight for the honor of Valeria.
22:10This old man is so stubborn, he's a hopeless case.
22:13He knows it's a trap and he's still sending them!
22:16Neraza and Sebastian have already set a deadly trap in the mist forest.
22:20My three tall, handsome, rich brothers are walking straight to their deaths.
22:28I'll have secret guards watching Nerissa.
22:30She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
22:33Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up.
22:35Looks like Nerissa's little act is falling apart.
22:38As for Sarah, she cannot go.
22:40I will stay at the palace to protect her personally.
22:43Are you kidding me?
22:45I take it back!
22:46How can you leave me here with Nerissa?
22:49She'll suck my soul dry while you're napping!
22:53Help!
22:53I want to go to the hunt with my brothers!
22:56Don't leave me in this death trap!
22:58Father, I think we should take Sarah with us.
23:03Exactly.
23:04She has Mother's Ring and the Eternal Guardian.
23:06In terms of defense, she's actually the safest one among us.
23:10Sarah is our lucky star.
23:12Who knows?
23:14Maybe she'll be the one protecting us.
23:15There's definitely a generation gap with the old man.
23:19My brothers are the best.
23:22Fine, fine.
23:23Have it your way.
23:24But the four of you must stay together.
23:27Do not let your guard down.
23:30Welcome to the annual royal hunt.
23:33Whoever captures the legendary sacred stag will be crowned this year's champion.
23:40Now, I declare, let the hunt begin!
23:52Nerissa?
23:54What are you doing here?
23:56You three must have pitied me so you didn't wake me up.
24:00That's why I'm a bit late.
24:01Nonsense!
24:02Who authorized your release?
24:04You are not participating in this hunt.
24:06Return to the palace at once!
24:07Why?
24:08Why can a foundling baby go but I, your daughter, cannot?
24:12Father, you are being far too biased.
24:14This is a royal command.
24:18You old fool getting in my way.
24:20Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first!
24:23Oh no!
24:24She used dark magic to force a power boost so she could wipe out my brothers!
24:28She can't control the energy!
24:30She's about to strike father!
24:32Look out old man!
24:33Nerissa!
24:34The forest is incredibly dangerous.
24:36Father is only concerned for your safety.
24:40My, my!
24:41If you brothers don't want Nerissa, I certainly do.
24:45Nerissa!
24:45Since your brothers don't cherish you, come with me instead.
24:49Fine!
24:49Since you're so eager to be the fool, take her with you.
24:52Brothers, let's move out.
24:54Sarah is losing her patience.
24:55That baby is a total jinx.
24:57Nothing but bad luck whenever she's around.
25:00Fine.
25:01I'll go without Sebastian for now and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
25:05Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian.
25:07Let's go.
25:16Bore at 50 meters to the left.
25:19Combat power, two stars.
25:21Juliet can handle it with a snap of his fingers.
25:24But do not touch that sweet smelling grass straight ahead.
25:27It's a soul eater spider trap.
25:29Nerissa said it's specific for Felix because she knows he loves the scent of that herb.
25:34That was close.
25:36I almost fell for it again.
25:37Felix, what's wrong?
25:39Nothing.
25:40I just feel like the mist is getting thicker.
25:43Of course it's thick.
25:44Sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll.
25:47He's turning this forest into an inescapable labyrinth.
25:51Julian, do you have any treasures that can break through a labyrinth seal?
25:53It seems completely useless against a seal tainted with dark magic.
25:57Of course it won't work.
25:58The forest's guardian, the sacred stag, has been trapped by the wicked array they set up beforehand.
26:04With the stag trapped, the forest's purication is gone.
26:08If you guys don't find the stag and break the seal by midnight,
26:11every pure soul in this forest will become fuel for Nerissa's dark magic.
26:15That includes me!
26:17She'll drain me dry!
26:18Help, help, help!
26:20Since we can't walk out of here, locate the stag directly.
26:23Don't be afraid, Sarah.
26:24As long as we're here, we won't let anything happen to you.
26:28Wow!
26:29My brothers are the best!
26:31Come on, think!
26:33Where exactly is the sacred stag?
26:35Ah!
26:36I remember now!
26:37It's under that withered millennial oak tree.
26:40That's the heart of the forest and the center of the array.
26:44The stag is trapped in a dark magic seal called the Eternal Cage.
26:51The poor stag!
26:52Those black chains are draining its life force!
26:56Brothers, look!
26:57There are four skulls around the array!
26:59Those are the anchor points!
27:01They must be destroyed at the same time!
27:05Four anchor points, but there are only three of us.
27:07There's me too!
27:09The sapphire necklace around my neck!
27:11The Eternal Guardian!
27:12It's power is the perfect counter for this evil scuff!
27:16Just throw it over!
27:17Mr. Sarah, this is our only shot.
27:23Julian, Felix, get ready.
27:26On three.
27:27One.
27:28Two.
27:30Three.
27:30Three.
27:38You're useless!
27:39You couldn't even keep the labyrinth seal intact!
27:41And you promised they'd never return!
27:45What do you know?
27:47You think they've won just because they freed that stag?
27:50That was the trap within the trap!
27:52The true dark magic isn't in those skulls!
27:55It is inside the stag itself!
27:57As long as they get close to that beast, the curse triggers!
28:00Just watch!
28:01They'll all be dead within seconds!
28:09Stop! Stop!
28:10Alaric, don't go any closer!
28:12That stag is a time bomb!
28:14Nerysha planted a void curse in its heart!
28:17It's going to blow!
28:19Alaric?
28:20What is it?
28:21What do I do?
28:22It's too late!
28:23The curse has already set to Alaric!
28:29Alaric!
28:33Alaric!
28:37Alaric!
28:39Alaric!
28:41Alaric!
28:41Alaric!
28:42Alaric!
28:46Alaric!
28:48Alaric!
28:48Alaric!
28:51Alaric!
28:53Alaric!
28:54the power of this entire forest belongs to her. As long as she stands on this land, she
28:59is practically a goddess.
29:03Brothers!
29:08Sarah, is that you?
29:09Oh my god! I'm grown up! I can speak! Heaven has finally to its senses!
29:17Brothers!
29:20Sarah! You can speak!
29:22I can actually talk!
29:24Finally! All the things I've been screaming in my head, I can finally say them out loud!
29:31How can this be?
29:34Where is my power? Where is my dog magic?
29:38It seems the forest's spiritual energy has drained you dry.
29:49The sacred stag has bonded with my daughter.
29:52Father, the sacred stag has bonded its soul to Sarah. Volodia has won this year's hunt.
30:03Father! Father! Save me! Sebastian tricked me! He wants to kill me!
30:08Finally, this moment, after holding it in for so long, this time I am saying it out loud.
30:15This time I am saying it out loud!
30:18She is a witch who has practiced dark magic for many years.
30:23Before this hunt, she forced her dark magic past its limit, hoping to wipe out my brothers
30:28in the forest. But the forest's pure energy turned against her. And now, every ounce of
30:34her power is gone.
30:36Felix's poisoning, Julian's framing, all those strange events in the palace, it was all your dying.
30:48So what if it was?
30:50All of this was supposed to be mine!
30:53Father's love, the princess's devotion, the fate of the kingdom, until that filthy thing from the wilderness appeared!
31:00She stole my destiny! She took everything that was supposed to be mine!
31:05I did not steal your destiny. You chose your own path of no return.
31:11If I cannot have anything, then you shall have nothing in either!
31:16Oh no!
31:17Sarah!
31:40Sarah, open your eyes! You vile witch!
31:46She's dead! She's dead! My destiny has returned to me!
31:53There's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your Majesty, the little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic! She has fallen into a deep slumber!
32:04How can this be undone?
32:05The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force. It will not lift until that magic naturally
32:11fades, or unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess. Today you have wield dark magic,
32:22poisoned the royal house, and struck down my own daughter.
32:24I hereby decree, you are stripped of your status as a ward of Veloria, and of every title bestowed upon
32:30you!
32:30From this day forth, you are banished from this kingdom, never to return!
32:34Father! One day you will regret this!
32:40Home. Let us go home.
32:46Little one, let me hear your voice one more time, please.
32:53Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her to undo the curse with her own hands!
32:57It's no use. Her magic is gone, she can do nothing now.
33:01From the day father brought this little one home from the wilderness, every single day we heard her chattering in
33:06our minds.
33:08So loud, so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:12Hmm, why is it so dark? Where is this?
33:18Sarah?
33:19I feel like I'm dreaming, but this dream feels so real. I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother, you heard that too?
33:30We heard it! It's Sarah, it's her voice!
33:35What is it? Has Sarah woken?
33:37Hmm, do I smell hot milk? Is that father?
33:42Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger, you need your rest.
33:50Sarah, my Sarah, you're still here.
33:58Sarah, I caught you a spirit squirrel from the holy mountains of the north.
34:02They say its call brings joy to whoever hears it.
34:05It's so noisy! Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:09Out, out, out! You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days. It's fine.
34:18Why am I asleep? I remember exposing Narissa, and then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait. Why did I grow to seven years old? I rushed it.
34:31In the original story, Narissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later,
34:36only then driven to her dead end. I exposed her too early.
34:40She still had her last breath of magic when I did. It was not supposed to happen this way.
34:46I sped up everyone's bait. I bent the entire story by force, and now it's bending back on me.
34:56Then, how do I wake up? Let the story return to its rightful course.
35:03In the original story, Narissa does not die so easily. She flees to Sebastian's kingdom,
35:08claims to have gained the gift of prophecy, and ignites war between the two kingdoms.
35:12Then she is outwitted, exposed, discarded, and meets a wretched end. That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread. Only when Narissa walks her original fate to the end,
35:24will I have any chance of waking. But, I am asleep now. I can do nothing.
35:31How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:35You heard her?
35:36Yes.
35:37Let the original plot unfold as it should. Now this is interesting.
35:42My foolish little girl. You think father and your brothers would ever let you bear this alone?
35:48Our spies report that Narissa has slipped into the Vervemont Palace alone and sought audience with
35:53Sebastian. Useless! Her magic is gone! Why didn't our men intercept her on the road?
35:58Felix, did you forget what Sarah said? The story must return to its rightful course.
36:03Narissa fleeing to Sebastian was always part of the original plot. So we... help her?
36:08Help her perform this play to its very last act. Let the wretched ending the original book wrote for
36:13her fall upon her, word for word. Well, well. If it isn't the cast out Princess of Valeria,
36:22what brings you here? Your Highness, I have come to help unite the two kingdoms.
36:29You? A powerless wretch? With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone, but in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
36:41What thing?
36:42The gift of prophecy. I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
36:48Words alone prove nothing. If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
36:54Tell me how, Your Highness. I will do anything.
36:58I may have lost my magic, but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered. That is enough.
37:09In the original story, Narissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
37:15Sebastian.
37:25As I expected. A stable boy in the palace named Marcus. Every three days he leaves under the pretest of
37:34delivering feed,
37:35each time by a different route at a different hour. Seize him. Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no. He is our finest tool for sending Narissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Narissa exactly the intelligence she craves.
37:55Your Highness, this woman's origins are dubious. Will you really entrust military secrets to her prophecies?
38:04I want to see for myself whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny.
38:10Speak. Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month. My ministers will record every word.
38:17In seven days, Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier, with Prince Julian personally overseeing the
38:25supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates, and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
38:33In other words, on the 8th of next month, Valeria's eastern frontier will be an empty city, defended only by
38:41leaderless reserves.
38:43Such precision. And how am I to verify this?
38:46Send your highness's most trusted spy into Valeria to verify. I stake my own head on the truth of it.
38:53And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited, for a thousand years.
38:59Narissa attended Sebastian's war council today. She predicts our army's movements.
39:06In the original story, Sebastian sends a spy to Valeria to verify. This is the critical moment for our false
39:13intelligence.
39:14If the spy sees what Narissa said, word for word, Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:19But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your highness, every word Princess Narissa spake, is true.
39:31Excellent, what a goddess of prophecy. Issue my command. In ten days, our army marches.
39:37We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike!
39:46Help me seize Valeria, and I shall make you my queen.
39:50Foolish man. Once I am your queen and bear your son, all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:04Felix, the enemy is too strong. We are not prepared. Per the plan, retreat.
40:10Abandon the city, and fall back to the second line of defense!
40:23A glorious first victory, your highness.
40:27Let me toast you.
40:29You are far more useful than I expected.
40:31Your highness, I have seen another vision.
40:35In three days, only Prince Alaric will hold Valeria's second line of defense.
40:41Prince Julian will have already retreated to the capital.
40:44If your highness leads the raid in person, Prince Alaric can be captured in a single strike.
40:52Alaric! That hordy, cold-faced heir of Valeria! I shall have him groveling at my feet!
40:58I shall have him groveling at my feet!
41:01Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric! Heir of Valeria! Surprised are you? Tonight I come for your head!
41:14Alaric!
41:22Welcome.
41:32An empty city, just as she said.
41:35Neressa, this time I shall reward you handsomely.
41:43From this day forth, Valeria's second defense line also belongs to me!
41:52The proud heir of Valeria kneeling at my feet. How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself.
41:59I came precisely because I wanted to.
42:12You should not have come for me.
42:13Impossible. The intelligence clearly stated Valeria's main force was still in the capital.
42:19Princess, Valeria's main army is closing in from west, south and north.
42:23Our line of retreat has been cut.
42:27My intelligence could not be wrong.
42:31You set me up!
42:34Not me. It was my little sister, who still lies sleeping.
42:39Not me.
42:57Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Sarah. We did it.
43:13You lying witch. You have doomed his highness.
43:23Impossible. How can this be?
43:29Speak. The child in your Bemi, is it mine?
43:34Your highness, of course it is yours.
43:41Your highness, this young woman is not with child at all.
43:47You wretched horde! You dared perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself, your highness. There is yet one more thing you do not know.
43:55Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan our father took in 20 years ago from the chaos of war.
44:08What? A ward?
44:10I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown for a swindling woman without a drop of royal blood.
44:20Let me end her with my own hand.
44:23Stop! Nerissa is a fugitive of Valeria.
44:28Her judgment is not yours to deliver.
44:39Sebastian, crown prince of Viramont, you initiated unprovoked war and invaded Valeria,
44:45bringing suffering upon the people of both lands.
44:48By the treaty between our two kingdoms, how shall you be judged?
44:52Your majesty of Valeria, our king will cede six eastern border cities in reparution,
44:58plus 10,000 gold coins annually for 20 years, begging only for the life of our crown prince.
45:07So be it.
45:08Prince Sebastian will remain in Valeria as a hostage for two years to oversee the reparations.
45:13He may return home only after that term is fulfilled.
45:17Nerissa, you were my ward. I treated you as my own daughter.
45:21And yet, you practiced the dark arts, poisoned my youngest son, framed my second, conspired against
45:26the royal house, committed high treason, and struck down my own daughter.
45:31Father, do you still not see? I was meant to be your only daughter, the only princess of Valeria.
45:38Your son's devotion, your tender love, the fate of this kingdom, all of it was meant to be mine!
45:47Until that filthy thing from the Underless appeared!
45:50She stole my place! She took the destiny that was supposed to be mine!
45:55From the day you first touched dark magic, you ceased to be my daughter.
46:00By the laws of Valeria, one who wields dark magic and conspires against the crown shall be stripped
46:06of all titles, exiled to the frozen islands, never to return!
46:10No! Not the frozen islands! All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:15All of this was supposed to be mine! Was supposed to be mine!
46:29Your Highness, tomorrow is the little princess's coronation. His Majesty has decreed, tonight no one is to keep vigil.
46:37He will sit with her alone.
46:38Very well.
46:44Little one, tomorrow is your coronation. These past few years, father has aged greatly.
46:49Coronation? Me? I've slept so long. The story should have returned to its course long ago.
46:58Why have I not woken? What is still missing? What is missing?
47:05My Sarah, tomorrow is your coronation. This crown was worn by your mother on the day of her own
47:11coronation. Her greatest regret, before she passed, was never seeing her own daughter wear it.
47:18Sarah, you have slept for so long. These past years, your father and your three brothers have done
47:25everything imaginable. Neressa is exiled to the frozen islands. Sebastian has paid his price and
47:30returned home. Valoria has never been stronger. And yet, there remains a hollow place in my heart.
47:39Father does not lack a daughter. Father lacks you. It matters not how the crown sits upon you.
47:46If only you would wake. If only you would call me father one more time. I would surrender all the
47:53rest.
48:03Father.
48:06Father.
48:07Sarah, my Sarah.
48:09Father, Sarah has come home.
48:14I am not the heroine of this story. I am only a daughter, lifted from the wilderness by her father's
48:20hands.
48:21This time, I will simply be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return all night. I thought something had happened.
48:32Good morning, Felix. Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost? It's not as if I actually
48:39died.
48:42Sarah, you're awake. You're awake.
48:45Felix, my milk is going to spill.
48:49Sarah. Sarah. Sarah.
48:52Brother, I've waited for you for so long.
48:55Goodness. So much commotion this early in the morning, my eyeliner is going to run.
48:59Julian, when have you ever worn eyeliner?
49:02Sarah. The coronation. Do you wish for it to proceed a schedule?
49:05Yes. Sarah is father's daughter. Sarah is the princess of Velouria.
49:10From today onward, Sarah will truly bear this name.
49:14I have never asked you, Sarah. Do you truly wish to call me father?
49:20Yes.
49:22It was you who lifted Sarah from the wilderness. You have given Sarah everything.
49:28Father, Sarah once came from a place far, far away. But from the moment I woke,
49:35I have known my true home is here.
49:38Where you came from, I never cared. I only cared whether you would stay.
49:51My dearest little princess, will you allow your brother Felix the honor of escorting you in?
50:13May the glory of Princess Seraphina of Velouria endure forever.
50:18May my little sister know nothing but joy, all her days.
50:22May our Sarah be cherished by the whole world, always.
50:26From this day forth, you are Princess Seraphina of Velouria,
50:30bearer of the crown's honor of our glory, of every pure soul in this land.
50:44I once believed I was the one who chose my destiny. Then destiny pushed me into a place I never
50:50knew,
50:51turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness with nothing but tears. I thought I would change
50:57everything. But the truth is, my father in this place and my three brothers, with their love,
51:03piece by piece, made me into the true Seraphina. This time I do not choose my destiny. I accept it,
51:11because what destiny gave me is the most precious family in this world.
