Short filmTranscript
00:00:01I'm with a great beard out of the river.
00:00:05Wow, looks like I caught a big one today.
00:00:07Whoa, what on earth is this?
00:00:12Young lady, just take me back and you'll have endless wealth and glory.
00:00:18Oh my God, is this the legendary Carp Spirit?
00:00:25Help! I said take me back to the palace, not send me to meet the reaper!
00:00:33Oh no, he wasn't a Carp Spirit after all.
00:00:50Hey, old man, don't die on me!
00:01:04Still unconscious? Forgive me!
00:01:10The reaper.
00:01:13Turns out it's a woman.
00:01:17I'm sorry, old man. I thought you were a river spirit.
00:01:19From now on, I will never listen to those customers spouting nonsense.
00:01:27I am no spirit, but I am just as powerful.
00:01:33Oh? Anyone can brag.
00:01:36Who exactly are you, old man?
00:01:41Truth be told, I am the reigning emperor.
00:01:45I had an accident traveling incognito, fell into the river, and drifted all night.
00:01:50Luckily, you fished me out, young lady.
00:01:52You did a great service saving my life.
00:01:55As 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.
00:02:42Then 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!
00:03:45Asking 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.
00:04:06I 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?
00:04:31Then take me to the city.
00:04:34How do we get there?
00:04:36I wouldn't know.
00:04:37I have always traveled by carriage.
00:04:40This old man has really lost his mind.
00:04:48Goodman, let us eat first.
00:04:50We can talk about getting you home later.
00:04:55Besides catching fish, I am also great at cooking them.
00:05:10Smells delicious.
00:05:11Erica, you have not made fish soup in ages.
00:05:13You must be in a good mood today.
00:05:16I pulled a drowning old man from the river today.
00:05:18I made this to warm him up.
00:05:19He is totally confused.
00:05:21He cannot even remember his name or home.
00:05:29Avert your eyes!
00:05:31How dare you stare at me!
00:05:50Have you heard?
00:05:51Erica took in an old man claiming he's the emperor.
00:05:55He has definitely lost his mind.
00:06:00Guys, have you heard anything about a missing old man lately?
00:06:06Are you sure he is not faking it just to freeload food off you?
00:06:11Just let him be.
00:06:12Feeding him will not make us go broke.
00:06:18These wooden boards are too hard.
00:06:21My back is killing me.
00:06:25He snores louder than thunder.
00:06:27How is anyone supposed to sleep?
00:06:31This fish and tofu stew tastes even better than the food in the palace.
00:06:35When I return to the palace, I will make you the head royal chef.
00:06:38Yeah, right.
00:06:39Returning to the palace?
00:06:40I think you're losing your mind.
00:06:42He is totally out of his mind.
00:06:44Stop arguing with him.
00:06:45How dare you insult me!
00:06:53I gradually realize the old man might not be crazy.
00:06:57What he said could be true.
00:07:12What would you two like to eat?
00:07:14We heard.
00:07:16You took in a drowning old man recently.
00:07:26You are looking for him?
00:07:33You are...
00:07:38Master, we are here to take you home.
00:07:42There are too many eyes out here.
00:07:44Please keep quiet for now.
00:07:53These two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:02No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:05You see?
00:08:08I was telling the truth.
00:08:12Are they really your family?
00:08:14Why do you look like you do not know them?
00:08:19I command thousands of elite troops.
00:08:21I mean thousands of servants.
00:08:22How am I supposed to know all of them?
00:08:24These men must work for one of my sons.
00:08:25There is no mistake.
00:08:32Is he really the emperor?
00:08:36Our master is not right in the head.
00:08:39Just 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.
00:08:56Let me tell you.
00:08:58If you pass this up,
00:08:59you will never find fish this delicious anywhere else.
00:09:13I told you it was delicious.
00:09:18Fair maid.
00:09:20You took such good care of our master.
00:09:22My master will surely reward you.
00:09:24Please come with us.
00:09:27Just take my boat.
00:09:28I'll take you there myself.
00:09:51I'll take you there.
00:09:53What are you doing?
00:09:54Forgive us.
00:09:55Old man, when you fell off the boat, we thought you died. Who knew you would be so hard to
00:10:00kill?
00:10:02This is regicide! Your entire lineage will be executed for this! Who is behind this?
00:10:09Ignore him, Wayne. Tonight we will silence every witness here. No one will ever know.
00:10:19Ferris, please do not be reckless. I'm just a fisherman. This 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. You chose to take him in. Anyone who was involved in
00:10:31this mess isn't leaving here alive.
00:10:33Shame about your talent for cooking fish. If you were smart, you would have stayed out of this.
00:10:38Let her go! Stop threatening an innocent woman!
00:10:46We've been spotted! Kill them now!
00:10:53Damn it! The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:20Look who is talking about crooked ends. I am a legitimate business owner.
00:11:24Powerless commoners like us must have ways to defend ourselves.
00:11:30Erica, how did you figure out these two were up to no good?
00:11:37I have run my river stall for years. The docks are full of shady characters and I have seen all
00:11:42sorts of people.
00:11:43When they saw you, it was not relief I saw. Instead, they immediately gripped their weapons through their bags.
00:11:47A murderous look flashed in their eyes.
00:11:49Simon and I noticed something was wrong immediately.
00:11:51Once the food was ready, we secretly applied sleeping powder to the rims of their bowls and the tips of
00:11:55their chopsticks.
00:11:55So when we sat down to eat, they suspected nothing.
00:11:58After that, I volunteered to escort them home, but I was actually keeping watch.
00:12:02If we had been mistaken, we would have simply apologized to their master.
00:12:06But since we were right...
00:12:09Well, we just saved your life again. Will you make me a lord this time?
00:12:16They actually want me dead. They've tried to kill me again and again.
00:12:21How could I have been so blind?
00:12:24Hey, please do not cry! A man of your age should not cry!
00:12:27I was only joking earlier! You do not need to make me a lord!
00:12:30Of course you will be one!
00:12:31Once I deal with those traitors, I will not only make you a lord, but grant you a hereditary title!
00:12:37Save it for when we get back. You are rambling again.
00:12:46Let's see you escape now.
00:12:47When they wake up, we'll question them properly.
00:12:50It is useless. Anyone sent to kill me is ready to die.
00:12:53Once they wake up, if they cannot escape, they will kill themselves.
00:12:56What do we do? We finally caught them alive. We cannot just sit and watch them die.
00:13:00First, I must return to the capital and find the commander of the Imperial Guards.
00:13:04That man is fiercely loyal to me and would never betray me.
00:13:07Come on! You were pushed into the river right under his nose.
00:13:09How is he reliable? And quit talking like an emperor already.
00:13:12You are just inviting the assassins to kill us.
00:13:14Goodman, you had better change your name.
00:13:15They are in the shadows and we are in the open. We must be careful.
00:13:23Call me Arthur Crown, then.
00:13:25Why bother with a fake name? Just call yourself the Emperor.
00:13:28This old man is hopeless.
00:13:37They are dead.
00:13:39I was right, was I not? Once their mission failed, if they couldn't escape, they were as good as dead.
00:13:45Besides knowing one of them was Jason Cole, we have no idea who was trying to have you killed.
00:13:49There is no need to investigate. Those with the best claim to the throne are the most suspicious.
00:13:53One of my sons must be behind this.
00:13:55Prince Dylan and Prince Eden are both lords in the capital, where their power is deeply entrenched.
00:13:59Only Prince Ryan, my youngest son, was exiled to a remote thief long ago, which actually makes him the safest
00:14:03choice.
00:14:04Prince, I have made my decision. I'll go to my youngest son first.
00:14:07The waterway is faster. Since Uncle Simon is rowing, he can take us south together.
00:14:28Arthur, how can you be sure your youngest son is not harboring a grudge and plotting your murder?
00:14:34You did exile him to that distant place.
00:14:40You do not understand the situation. Security around me is airtight.
00:14:43Anyone who could infiltrate the Imperial Gods must have enormous power.
00:14:48Ryan has been at his fee for years. He lost such capabilities long ago.
00:14:52Besides, my youngest son has always been straightforward.
00:14:55He's too honest to scheme against anyone.
00:14:58There's no way he'd rebel.
00:15:01So you are just exploiting a decent man.
00:15:03He had no share in the wealth and glory, yet you seek him the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:20People say this place is lawless, full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:24Looking at it now, that is clearly not the case.
00:15:29This old man doesn't even know his own son's land.
00:15:37Excuse me. Which way is Prince Ryan's estate?
00:15:40Are you here for justice or just for grain?
00:15:44What is the difference?
00:15:46If you seek justice, His Highness holds court for an hour every day specifically to receive petitions.
00:15:52If you need food and grain, register at the local office.
00:15:55Anyone living in this district can receive rations for their family, along with seeds for their crops.
00:16:00Judging by how you talk, Prince Ryan really seems like a kind man.
00:16:05You must be from out of town if you have not heard of Prince Ryan.
00:16:10His Highness is the Emperor's own son and has been our great savior.
00:16:14Yes. Every household has an altar to pray for him.
00:16:18We pray for his health and for his long life, so that he may keep the people of this region
00:16:23safe and sound.
00:16:25I have not even earned that much respect, but this ungrateful son of mine already has.
00:16:28They even built altars for him.
00:16:31They even built altars for him.
00:16:41They even built altars for him.
00:16:41I have not given up their own son.
00:16:42They even built altars for him.
00:16:47They even built altars for him.
00:16:59Are you visiting from out of town?
00:17:02Goodman, we are here to find Prince Ryan.
00:17:04This gentleman is a distant relative of the prince.
00:17:06We have come to seek his help.
00:17:08Prince Ryan, he's a really great man.
00:17:10He spent years building canals and improving the farmland.
00:17:13He transformed this barren wasteland into a land of abundance.
00:17:16He certainly did.
00:17:18He reformed the local government and kept the law in check.
00:17:21Life is much better for us now.
00:17:23We are all grateful for the grace of the prince and his father, our emperor.
00:17:28Prince Ryan, my long-forgotten son.
00:17:32If you head straight to his estate, you might miss him.
00:17:35At this hour, he's always in the fields.
00:17:37Just follow this road ahead.
00:17:39He is at the largest rice field.
00:18:08I expected someone much older.
00:18:11He is clearly a handsome young man.
00:18:25Father.
00:18:36This is outrageous!
00:18:40Traitors like these deserve death by anyone!
00:18:49You both have shown great honor.
00:18:51You saved my father's lifetime and again.
00:18:53Words cannot express my gratitude.
00:18:57Please accept my bow.
00:18:58You are too kind, your highness.
00:19:00Now that we've brought him safely,
00:19:01Uncle Simon and I are done.
00:19:03We'll leave tomorrow.
00:19:14You cannot leave!
00:19:15I will take you to the capital and make you a princess!
00:19:30So comfortable.
00:19:31I have spent most of my life on the river.
00:19:33I am just a rough boatman,
00:19:34always braving the wind and rain.
00:19:36I never expected to see the day I could live
00:19:38like a wealthy man with servants waiting on me.
00:19:47The emperor is super paranoid right now.
00:19:50He trusts no one,
00:19:51except us two.
00:19:53So Prince Ryan has to treat us well.
00:19:58I recently introduced this new crop variety.
00:20:00This year's harvest will definitely double.
00:20:03The yield is high and the grain is excellent.
00:20:06Excellent.
00:20:07Feeding the people shows true leadership.
00:20:12And repaying what you owe is just the right thing to do.
00:20:15You have three days to return the farmer's money
00:20:17or face severe punishment.
00:20:19You are incredibly wise, your highness.
00:20:21You're a truly fair lord.
00:20:22He handles cases fairly and carefully.
00:20:25Very methodical.
00:20:28My calm, humble son, Prince Ryan,
00:20:32has actually achieved such great things
00:20:35here in this remote land.
00:20:38I completely misjudged him before.
00:20:48Erica, add more chili peppers.
00:20:51Well, I absolutely love your bold local dishes.
00:20:55They are far better than palace feasts.
00:20:58You got it.
00:20:58Just wait and see.
00:20:59I guarantee it will make you sweat.
00:21:08What are the prince and that man doing?
00:21:11Look away.
00:21:11Pretend you saw nothing.
00:21:16Erica, just look at this scene.
00:21:18The father is peeling garlic,
00:21:20the son is chopping wood,
00:21:22and the wife is cooking.
00:21:24You three look just like a family.
00:21:32Uncle Simon, stop talking nonsense.
00:21:34His highness is royalty.
00:21:35I am just an ordinary fisher.
00:21:37We belong to different worlds.
00:21:40If word of this gets out,
00:21:42we could lose our heads.
00:22:02Sai, why has my escort not arrived yet?
00:22:06Assassins keep coming in waves.
00:22:08I am going to die out here sooner or later.
00:22:20Kill them all!
00:22:21Leave no one alive!
00:22:24Leave my father alone!
00:22:37Protect me!
00:22:48Father, go now!
00:22:50You ask for death?
00:22:55You ask for death?
00:23:00Fall back!
00:23:10Ryan, my dear son!
00:23:13Are you hurt?
00:23:14I am fine.
00:23:17As long as you are safe, father.
00:23:36My son, your life is too precious.
00:23:39How could you risk yourself like this?
00:23:42Quickly, send someone else to protect me.
00:23:51Father, your life is the one that truly matters.
00:23:53As your son and your subject,
00:23:55I would gladly give my life for you.
00:23:56Nonsense!
00:23:57Stop talking about dying!
00:23:58You will rule the Empire one day!
00:24:00How can you just die?
00:24:09I will take my leave now.
00:24:18Sigh.
00:24:19What a blockhead.
00:24:21Shouldn't he swear his loyalty right now
00:24:22and at least pretend to decline?
00:24:24No wonder he has been stuck in this wasteland
00:24:26and forgotten by everyone all these years.
00:24:34Erica.
00:24:35For the past few days,
00:24:37I have been meaning to ask you.
00:24:39Do you want to be a princess
00:24:40or do you want to be my daughter-in-law?
00:24:44So his majesty actually heard
00:24:46what Uncle Simon said that day?
00:24:49No offense, your majesty,
00:24:51but I have no desire to live a life
00:24:53full of constant fear.
00:24:54If you truly wish to reward me,
00:24:55just give me some food and money.
00:24:57I would rather live a free and easy life.
00:25:08You make a fair point.
00:25:10If you actually became my daughter-in-law,
00:25:12it would be highly improper
00:25:13to have you cook fish for me every day.
00:25:20He is always thinking about his next meal.
00:25:22What a gluttonous old man.
00:25:33If anyone dares to harm our prince,
00:25:35we will fight them to the death.
00:25:36That is right.
00:25:37Protect the prince
00:25:39and protect the emperor.
00:25:41Charge!
00:25:42Charge!
00:25:57With a defense like this,
00:25:59not even a single fly could get through.
00:26:14After two weeks of such a massive search,
00:26:17the imperial escort has finally arrived.
00:26:30Your majesty,
00:26:32now that you are safe,
00:26:33I can finally rest in peace.
00:26:39That is enough.
00:26:41Stop all this weeping.
00:26:43If anyone deserves thanks,
00:26:44it's Erica.
00:26:45Without her,
00:26:46I'd be dead ten times over.
00:26:53I'll be dead.
00:26:59Thank you for saving the life of the emperor.
00:27:01I shall never forget your kindness.
00:27:03It was nothing.
00:27:04Please stand up,
00:27:05Commander Wood.
00:27:19Listen to my decree.
00:27:21We return to the capital at once.
00:27:28Ryan!
00:27:31You shall return with me.
00:27:36I obey your command, 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 do not be sad.
00:28:01I will send an official of great integrity.
00:28:03I'll send an upright official who will treat everyone like family.
00:28:09As for Prince Ryan,
00:28:10the one you all admire,
00:28:12one thief is too small for his ambitions.
00:28:15I will entrust him with far greater duties.
00:28:19I hope he will not fail my expectations.
00:28:22I hope he will not fail my expectations.
00:28:29It seems Prince Ryan is destined for greatness.
00:28:57I remember our first few days at the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:28:59that blockhead always came to me for advice on dealing with his father.
00:29:12He is your own father.
00:29:13How can you not know his temper and preferences?
00:29:22He is the supreme emperor.
00:29:24I, however, am just a neglected prince.
00:29:29I hardly saw my father's face growing up.
00:29:33But I notice how you interact with him, Erica.
00:29:36Speaking so freely.
00:29:39Even Prince Dylan and Prince Eden,
00:29:41his favorites,
00:29:41never dare to be so casual in the presence of our father.
00:29:45Do you have a secret for this?
00:29:48Not a secret at all.
00:29:50I just treat the emperor like any ordinary elder.
00:29:53Think of how commoners treat the elders in their family.
00:29:57And I treat the emperor the same way.
00:30:00I understand now.
00:30:11Ryan, what are you doing?
00:30:13When a father is in danger,
00:30:14a son belongs by his side to protect him.
00:30:26Having the trust and gratitude of the emperor and his heir.
00:30:30A life of luxury is surely guaranteed.
00:30:32They might even grant you the title of the official imperial fisher.
00:30:38Ah.
00:30:39Ha ha ha ha.
00:30:41Ha ha ha.
00:30:41Ha ha ha ha.
00:30:42Ha ha ha ha.
00:30:46Ha ha ha ha.
00:31:21You treacherous sons!
00:31:23While I was away,
00:31:24is this how you guard the capital for me?
00:31:31I deserve death.
00:31:34Since the emperor was missing in the river,
00:31:36the factions in court have already splintered.
00:31:38Prince Dylan intends to seize the throne,
00:31:40while Prince Eden waits to profit from the chaos.
00:31:47Prince of the Old Man.
00:31:48I'm a foolish dream.
00:31:49Prince of the Old Man.
00:31:50Those ungrateful and arrogant sons!
00:31:52Do they think that my empire can be toppled so easily?
00:31:59Your majesty,
00:32:00I anticipated this.
00:32:02I took the Tiger Tally from the capital.
00:32:04Once we escape this place,
00:32:06we can summon the troops to crush the rebellion.
00:32:08Good. Good. Where is the nearest army?
00:32:13The Mountain City Army is three days away.
00:32:18Father, the rebels of Prince Dylan have sealed every road out of this fief. We cannot leave by land.
00:32:23Our only chance is to take the river.
00:32:28However... However what?
00:32:29The Imperial Guards are all landlubbers from the capital. They only know how to fight on land. None of them
00:32:33can handle a boat.
00:32:35If we are caught on the river, we will...
00:32:42Why are you all staring at me?
00:32:44Surely you do not expect a lowly fisher to perform a miracle.
00:32:50Honestly, the Imperial Gold is not easily earned.
00:32:56I cannot simply watch my father face such peril. I will protect him as we fight our way out.
00:33:03Ryan, my dear son.
00:33:08I shall protect the Emperor and the Prince with my life on our journey to the Mountain City Army.
00:33:13Sigh.
00:33:17Erika, please look at the situation.
00:33:27Fine, fine. Since we have come this far, I will see this through to the end. I always finish what
00:33:31I start. I will take everyone with me.
00:33:36Thank you, Erika. Thank you, Erika.
00:33:43I am in your debt, Erika.
00:33:57That boy is lucky indeed.
00:34:00As a Prince of the Realm, is he not a match for Erika?
00:34:04With the virtue and skill of Erika, any man would be blessed to have her.
00:34:11I have caused you much trouble.
00:34:17It is no trouble.
00:34:19But it is a shame that your highness must live as a lowly fisherman with me.
00:34:25In that case, please do not call me your highness. Will you call me Ryan?
00:34:30As you wish, Ryan. Let's board the boat.
00:34:34Yes, my darling.
00:34:35Oh, my darling.
00:34:36Yes, my darling.
00:34:37Yes, my darling.
00:34:39Yes, my darling.
00:34:54I fell in the middle of years, Grandpa.
00:34:57I was alive.
00:34:59I am lying.
00:34:59Yes, my darling.
00:35:01Um...
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.
00:36:04Stop the boat for an inspection.
00:36:04State your business! Stop the boat for an inspection!
00:36:15Officer? We are just humble fishers. We are taking the fish caught today to Lincoln Ward to sell.
00:36:49The river is closed today. Turn back at once.
00:36:54We have an agreement with the tavern to deliver this fresh fish. If we do not deliver the fish today,
00:36:59the fish will start to rot, and we will have to pay the tavern. Please show some mercy. Make an
00:37:04exception for us and let us pass through.
00:37:08I said no, and I mean it! A single basket of fish means nothing! Careful, or I will take your
00:37:13head!
00:37:21You useless brat! It is all your fault!
00:37:26If you had not insisted on this route, we wouldn't have missed the delivery!
00:37:30Now we are going to lose every 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!
00:38:01Father, 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.
00:39:38The five of us escaped in total secrecy after leaving one man in the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:39:42He posed as 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.
00:39:49They realize the Emperor was not inside, and that is why they intensified the search.
00:39:57I am dead!
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.
00:40:26This boat is full of fresh fish caught today, and they will all rock by tomorrow morning.
00:40:31Why not let me cook them right here? You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal and keep yourselves
00:40:34warm.
00:40:35Hurry up then, as we are all starving!
00:40:58Officers, you have had a long day. Come and have a taste of the fresh catch!
00:41:03We have been camping in the wild for days without a single full meal. I am absolutely famished!
00:41:06The scent of this fish is incredible! I will not be polite then!
00:41:09Your Majesty, why are you so well behaved today? Are you not sneaking a bite for once?
00:41:15Do not think I did not notice. All those fish were caught right beside the boat.
00:41:19Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
00:41:34Look at this!
00:41:48Look! Look!
00:41:52Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:42:07Jason Cole.
00:42:15That woman from the Shady Stall?
00:42:22So you are still alive after all?
00:42:35Stop eating everyone! The targets are here! Capture them at once!
00:43:10And you still claim you do not run a shady store! I will make you pay for this today!
00:43:22Ryan!
00:43:25I am fine.
00:43:27Well, I am not fine!
00:43:29I am fine!
00:43:43Once he sets foot on land, he will be a formidable warrior once again. The prowess of the Commander of
00:43:48the Imperial Gods is certainly not to be taken lightly.
00:43:50We are on farts.
00:44:16your majesty i have come to save you move board the boat immediately

00:50:23to victory
00:50:42the emperor reclaimed the army he struck the rebels at once
00:50:45loyalists rallied to the throne they soon destroyed the power of prince
00:50:48dylan and prince eden the empire was secured again
00:50:52ryan was named the crown prince with peace restored to the realm
00:50:55the emperor returned to the capital
00:51:10erica why did you choose to help me
00:51:23so you figured out the truth after all
00:51:33eat do not go hungry
00:51:35long ago when i was begging with grandfather we passed through the territory you ruled
00:51:38you were just a boy newly exiled
00:51:40yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like us those with no home and little hope
00:51:44driven by that mercy i gathered my strength and fought my way north
00:51:47armed with nothing but my skill in the water and a stubborn spirit that refused to break
00:51:50i carved out a path through every hardship until i became the chief of the anchor crew
00:51:54our crew operates between light and shadow which is why simon and i often wore disguises
00:51:56we posed as simple fishers and wine cellars just to seek out a few business opportunities
00:51:59i never expected to save the emperor by mere chance
00:52:03i did everything possible to keep him safe waiting for the right moment to bring him to you
00:52:07i only wanted him to see the truth for himself to see a prince who truly serves the common people
00:52:11and to see the perfect order you brought to this land
00:52:16everything that followed was quite unexpected i never thought the road would be so dangerous
00:52:20even less did i think you'd lose your heart to me your highness
00:52:25you are destined to be a great leader in the future
00:52:28knowing that makes every sacrifice i made feel worthwhile
00:52:35am i nothing more than a title in your eyes
00:52:51you are the man who will one day wear the crown you should marry a lady from a noble house
00:52:55i have
00:52:55been free and wild for far too long i only want a simple life upon the water fate brought us
00:52:59together
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
00:53:07wisdom and bring peace to the people but now i wish that i were free
00:53:13to wander with 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
00:53:27crew 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 go now and i will watch you leave
00:53:42i know that i can't make you stay go now and i can't make you stay go now and i
00:53:55can't make you stay
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
00:54:58I really thought that you would follow that lad to the capital as Empress
00:55:11I am the leader of the anchor crew. Who would want to be a wretched Empress?
00:55:32Anyway, I've secured a grand future for the anchor crew.
00:55:37A grand future? What kind of future?
00:56:06Chief! Chief!
00:56:09Look, so this is the future you promised the crew?
00:56:20Is this truly the child of the crown prince?
00:56:24Of course.
00:56:30Perfect! The future leader of our crew has the crown prince as his father! Who would ever dare to cross
00:56:35us 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 reward I desired.
00:56:52I did not give them an answer.
00:56:57Because the reward that truly satisfies me is something I have already received.
00:57:19Chief! Something is wrong! The soldiers! The soldiers! They have surrounded the dock of our crew!
00:57:36Just when we finally found some peace! Is it possible the remnants of Dylan and Eden have come back to
00:57:40haunt us?
00:57:50There is no need for panic! This river belongs to the Watsons!
00:58:06Music playing
00:58:08Music playing
00:58:27Erica, since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start
00:58:31showing symptoms by now. Your appetite must be quite poor. I searched the entire capital
00:58:36for this. Preserved ginger is a miracle cure for nausea.
00:58:45Quite a grand spectacle, your highness. Bringing ginger with the entire imperial guards. The crown prince has no place at
00:58:53this dock when he belongs on the throne of gold.
00:58:58The throne of gold is far too cold and it is not comfortable at all. I gave you my word
00:59:03that I would protect you for life. Chopping wood and building fires is a skill I have truly mastered.
00:59:12Well, well, do you all see this? The eye of our chief is truly sharp. The follow-up service is
00:59:20quite impressive. Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door.
00:59:36What are you waiting for? Since you are here to build fires, get to the backyard at once. Chop that
00:59:40pile of wet wood.
00:59:43Hey! I am going!
00:59:46Hey! I am going!
01:00:15Your highness! Have mercy.
01:00:16It's a barrier.
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.
01:00:24Can you not see that I am busy? The feet of Erika are badly swollen today.
01:00:27I must finish this pile of wood quickly to boil water for her foot bath.
01:00:37He is actually boiling water for a foot bath. To think the Crown Prince would perform such a chore.
01:00:41If this news ever reaches the capital, the old men of the censorate will certainly die of shame.
01:00:52Just leave the reports on that large stone. Once Erika is finally in a deep sleep,
01:00:56I will find the time to review them. Nothing shall interrupt her foot bath now.
01:01:07Chief! Chief! Look at that beggar over there! Why does he look exactly like that old man Arthur Crown?
01:01:17Chief! Chief!
01:01:23Erika quick! Erika quick! I am here! Prepare for my welcome!
01:01:41Your Majesty! You belong on the throne in the capital. Why did you come here looking like this?
01:01:51I 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 dish water! Erika, 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 nothing but
01:02:25the most bland and hollow meals. They focus only on fancy decorations. Everything looks beautiful to the eye, but there
01:02:29is no actual flavor within.
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 your duties?
01:02:56You are a distinguished guest. Who cares about that? In this world of ours, a good meal is the only
01:03:01thing that counts!
01:03:03A good meal is the only thing that counts!
01:03:14Erika, 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!
01:03:41Erika, 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!
01:04:01I will also get to enjoy this tofu fish every single day! Life 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! Surely it beats the harsh life on the
01:04:39water!
01:04:41I have several thousand members of my crew who rely on me to fill their bellies!
01:04:44If 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 Erika is wild! She loves the breeze of the open river! She hates the high walls
01:05:09of the palace!
01:05:10And what of you? You are the crown prince!
01:05:16I have made my decision! I will simply work twice as hard! I can handle the throne during the day,
01:05:23and 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! If you travel back and forth like that, I am the one who will
01:05:38truly suffer!
01:05:57I am the one who wants you to come and walk, so I will never miss you here!
01:05:59No!
01:06:02Dad!
01:06:03Dad!
01:06:04Dad!
01:06:04Dad!
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. Erica is in far more pain than I am.
01:06:38Push harder, Chief! I can see the head now!
01:07:00Congratulations to you all! The Chief has finally given birth! It is a radiant baby girl! Both mother and daughter
01:07:07are well!
01:07:16Wonderful! I finally have a granddaughter! I have finally gained a sweet granddaughter who will never grow a beard like
01:07:23my sons!
01:07:31She is so beautiful. Her features are truly delicate. She looks just like Erica. She is the perfect image of
01:07:40Erica.
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. I want every subject of the Empire to
01:07:52share 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! As no one dares to oppose me! Send any who disagree to argue with me in
01:08:10person!
01:08:10...
01:08:14...
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:51Set sail.
01:08:53Let the grand ship sail now.
01:09:02Look at our little chief here.
01:09:05Picking up the oar during her birthday right.
01:09:07She has only just learned how to walk, yet she already wants to rule this river for her mother.
01:09:16Chief, prepare for the arrival of the emperor.
01:09:18The emperor has finally finished the court session.
01:09:20After reviewing the final tax report, he did not even stop to change out of the robe.
01:09:24He has already worn out three horses and is racing through the mountain pass right now.
01:09:32My sweetheart!
01:09:34My sweetheart!
01:09:36Bring the boat to the shore now!
01:09:37I have caught a massive fish!
01:09:39That silly father of yours is almost here!
01:09:41Tonight, we will all enjoy a feast of tofu and fish!
01:10:04The captain is coming to the beach.
01:10:07I have left all state affairs to the ministers so that I can stay here with you for two weeks.
01:10:12Well, I will handle the firewood tonight.
01:10:14I was once just a simple fisher on this river.
01:10:18With a single cast of my net that year, I brought in the most precious catch of my life.
01:10:23And I have guarded the only kingdom that truly matters.
01:10:35My aunt sold me to the most vicious lone wolf hunter in pack for five silver coins.
01:10:40On the night of our mating ceremony, I sat on the edge of a broken bed, fighting my lip.
01:10:46I'm a wolfless omega orphan.
01:10:48And Cain, the pack says he's a curse.
01:10:50His parents abandoned him as a pup and never came back.
01:10:54They say he walked into the shadow woods alone at six.
01:10:57Shift for the first time at twelve and tore apart a full-grown shadow bear.
01:11:02The scar running from his brow to his jaw, that bear gave it to him.
01:11:06Everyone in the pack fears him.
01:11:08I did too.
01:11:09I crossed the street when I saw him.
01:11:11Never spoke a word to him.
01:11:12It's that I wandered to him.
01:11:14Never even looked him in the eye.
01:11:15I never thought my aunt would sell me to him.
01:11:18No gifts.
01:11:19No feast.
01:11:20I wore an old white dress and took shaky steps into his cabin.
01:11:24It smelled of blood and old fur.
01:11:27I didn't think I'd survive tonight.
01:11:29All I could hear was my aunt counting her silver.
01:11:32Don't blame me, Ella.
01:11:34You're lucky anyone would take you.
01:11:36I stood there like a fool, not knowing what to do.
01:11:39Until the door banged open.
01:11:40I gasped.
01:11:42His leather coat was slashed open across the ribs.
01:11:44The smell is a little bit.
