07:21don't listen to her
07:23it's the other way
07:24she's lying so you won't find him
07:27and felix will be kidnapped by the spies
07:30if you don't save him father
07:32you'll think he abandoned his post
07:35you'll lose all trust in him
07:37and 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
07:47father
07:48i saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction felix might be over there
07:53in that case split up
07:54search both ways
08:01to the left
08:03hurry
08:04felix is behind that cave
08:06he's barely holding on
08:08hang on felix
08:15felix
08:16felix
08:17we made it just in time
08:19don't worry brother
08:20i am here to save you
08:23i'm so sorry father aleric
08:25i was so panicked on the battlefield that i got confused
08:28i actually meant to point in this direction too
08:31that's enough
08:32we need to treat aleric
08:33just get out
08:49father
08:49there are spies in the border guard
08:51our secret passage
08:52the enemy found it
08:54i know
08:55just focus on recovering
08:57i'll handle the rest
08:58thank god
08:59in the book
08:59the king didn't trust felix
09:01and refused to heal him
09:02he was even going to exile him
09:04felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy
09:07but he was framed as a spy
09:09and father executed him with his own hands on the battlefield
09:12he died screaming his innocence
09:15am i actually hearing this baby's thoughts
09:17how can she predict the future
09:20father
09:21who is this baby
09:22i've decided to formally adopt her
09:24from this day on she is princess sarah of valeria
09:27what about
09:27nerissa
09:28she hasn't even been officially titled yet
09:30oh my god felix 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
09:40she used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions
09:43father
09:45was i poisoned
09:46don't worry
09:48i will get to the bottom of this
09:54father is actually adapting that brit
09:56giving her a royal title
09:57i'm the only princess in this palace
09:59ever since that baby arrived
10:01nothing has gone right
10:02i didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence
10:05if i can't have her soul
10:07i'll kill her
10:08what are you doing here eavesdropping
10:09julian
10:11i 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

12:19julian
12:20so you're using the national treasury to entertain a baby
12:23i suppose your kingdom is nearing its end

13:35Alaric
13:35julian is being so mean to me

13:48since neither of you can afford it
13:50i'll buy it for sarah as a welcome gift

16:12brothers watch out! he'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!
16:23he's going to kill me!
16:29in the original story it's exactly this auction that real his father's trust in at julian!
16:34that's how at julian started his downward spiral into ruin! julian! don't let nerissa and sebastian destroy you!
16:41this entire mess is a trap they set up together!
16:45i planned to use julian for a bitmending but you forced me!
16:50today that sapphire necklace must be mine!
16:54subasthire necklace!
17:02sebastian did you forget this auction house is my property?
17:06you are declaring open war on the kingdom of valeria!
17:18Wow! Julian is amazing! He's a total beast! He looks so cool!
17:24I knew Julian was a genius in both business and magic!
17:28Did you hear that? Sarah 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! That's mine!
17:49That's mine!
17:51Oh my god, is Melissa actually having a meltdown right now?
17:55Her dark magic isn't even finished yet.
17:58Showing her true face now will 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? You used to cherish me the most!
18:13Look at you. Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewelry, all paid for by me.
18:18Now that you mention it, I 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 bewildered by this mysterious brat!
18:45I'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?
18:56Wow! Father and Felix look so cool making an entrance like that!
19:10Felix!
19:11Felix! You're finally here!
19:13They're ganging up on me with that little brat! You have to do something!
19:16Don't cry.
19:19You are my most precious sister. I will make sure justice is served for you.
19:24Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet. He's still under my spell. With him on my side, no one dared
19:31to touch me.
19:31Oh no! I remember now! Nerissa's poison arrows contain a mind control curse. In the book, that's how she manipulated
19:42Felix into entering the enemy camp alone to frame him as a spy!
19:47Help! Help! The poison in that Felix isn't gone yet! Father! Alaric! Julian! Save him! He's being controlled by that
19:57witch again!
20:05Get off me!
20:09Oh my god! My brothers are way too cool! That seamless coordination was a perfect 10!
20:16Julian refining, Alaric assisting, and the politics waking up? So badass!
20:24Alaric, bring Sarah to me. I want to hold the little one too.
20:30I almost forgot about this old geezer. Don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to punish
20:37Julian!
20:39In the book, Alaric just tried to speak up for Julian, and this old man banished them to the Black
20:44Domean Abyss for the royal hunt!
20:46He called it training, but it was a death sentence!
20:49They were swarmed by high-level beasts.
20:51Alaric lost a leg, and Julian's manor veins were shattered protecting him. He became a total cripple!
20:59Father, may I hold Sarah as well?
21:02And then there's poor Felix! He 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. The next time he
21:16saw father was on the battlefield as enemies. Such a tragic...
21:20Enough! You're just ganging up on me! When my father finishes his meditation, he'll slaughter you all!
21:26Fine! Since you're so confident, we'll see you at the royal hunt! Let's see who kills who! Return to the
21:31palace!
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! Stay away from me! If it weren't for my grand plan, I'd rip your tongue out right now!
21:49How could you think that? I'm only using them to gather intelligence. Don'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!
22:16Nerissa 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. She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
22:33Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up? Looks like Nerissa's little act is falling apart!
22:38As for Sarah, she cannot go. I will stay at the palace to protect her personally.
22:43Are you kidding me? I take it back! How can you leave me here with Nerissa?
22:49She'll suck my soul dry while you're napping!
22:53Help! I 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. She 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. Who knows? Maybe she'll be the one protecting us.
23:15There's definitely a generation gap with the old man. My brothers are the best.
23:22Fine, fine. Have it your way. But the four of you must stay together. Do not let your guard down.
23:30Welcome to the annual royal hunt. Whoever 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?
23:57You three must have pitied me so it didn't wake me up. That's why I'm a bit late.
24:02Nonsense! Who authorized your release? You are not participating in this hunt. Return to the palace at once!
24:07Why? Why 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. Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first!
24:23Oh no! She used dark magic to force a power boost so she could wipe out my brothers!
24:28She can't control the energy! She's about to strike father! Look out, old man!
24:33Nerissa! The forest is incredibly dangerous. Father is only concerned for your safety.
24:40My, my! If you brothers don't want Nerissa, I certainly do.
24:45Nerissa! Since your brothers don't cherish you, come with me instead.
24:49Fine! Since you're so eager to be the fool, take her with you.
24:52Brothers, let's move out. Sarah is losing her patience.
24:55That baby is a total jinx. Nothing but bad luck whenever she's around.
25:00Fine. I'll go without Sebastian for now and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
25:05Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian. Let's go.
25:16Bore at 50 meters to the left. Combat 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. I almost fell for it again.
25:37Felix, what's wrong?
25:39Nothing. I just feel like the mist is getting thicker.
25:43Of course it's thick. Sebastian 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?
25:53This seems completely useless against a seal tainted with dark magic.
25:57Of course it won't work. The forest's guardian, the sacred stag, has been trapped by the wicked array they set
26:03up beforehand.
26:04With the stag trapped, the forest's purication is gone.
26:07If 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! She'll drain me dry! Help, help, help!
26:20Since we can't walk out of here, locate the stag directly.
26:23Don't be afraid, Sarah. As long as we're here, we won't let anything happen to you.
26:28Wow! My brothers are the best! Come on, think! Where exactly is the sacred stag?
26:35Ah! I remember now! It'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! Those black chains are draining its life force!
26:56Brothers, look! There are four skulls around the array. Those are the anchor points. They must be destroyed at the
27:02same time!
27:05Four anchor points, but there are only three of us.
27:07There's me too! The sapphire necklace around my neck! The Eternal Guardian!
27:13Its power is the perfect counter for this evil stuff! Just throw it over!
27:17Listen to Sarah, this is our only shot.
27:23Julian, Felix, get ready. On three.
27:28One, two, three!
27:38You're useless! You couldn't even keep the Labyrinth seal intact! And you promised they'd never return!
27:45What do you know? You think they've won just because they freed that stag?
27:50That was the trap within the trap! The true dark magic isn't in those skulls. It is inside the stag
27:57itself!
27:57As long as they get close to that beast, the curse triggers! Just watch! They'll all be dead within seconds!
28:09Stop! Stop! Alaric, don't go any closer!
28:12That stag is a time bomb!
28:14Nerisha planted a void curse in its heart! It's going to blow!
28:19Alaric? What is it?
28:21What do I do? It's too late! The curse has already set, Alaric!
28:32Sarah!
28:46My god! The sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own!
28:52It's a soul covenant!
28:53From now on, the power of this entire forest belongs to her. As long as she stands on this land,
28:59she is practically a goddess.
29:03Brothers!
29:04Brothers!
29:08Sarah, is that you?
29:09Oh my god! I'm grown up! I can speak! Heaven has finally to its senses!
29:17Br-brothers!
29:20Sarah! You can speak!
29:22I can actually talk!
29:25Finally! 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 dark 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!
29:55Volodia has won this year's hunt!
30:03Father! Father!
30:04Father! 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!
30:13This time I am saying it out loud!
30:15This gentle, kind, at Prince Enorissi is, in truth, 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 in the forest.
30:29But the forest's pure energy turned against her.
30:32And now, every ounce of her power is gone.
30:36Felix poisoning, a 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 should have nothing in either!
31:16Oh no!
31:17Sarah!
31:36Sarah!
31:39Sarah!
31:41Open your eyes!
31:42You vile witch!
31:46She's dead! She's dead! My destiny has returned to me!
31:53There's... there's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your majesty!
31:57The little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic! She... she has fallen into a deep slumber!
32:04How could this be undone?!
32:05The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force.
32:09It will not lift until that magic naturally fades, or... unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess.
32:20Today you have wielded dark magic, poisoned 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.
32:47Little one...
32:48Let 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,
33:04every single day we heard her chattering in our minds.
33:08So loud, so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:14Why is it so dark? Where is this?
33:18Sarah?!
33:19I feel like I'm dreaming, but this dream feels so real.
33:24I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother...
33:28You heard that too?
33:30We heard it!
33:31It's Sarah, it's her voice!
33:35What is it?
33:37Has Sarah woken?
33:38Do I smell hot milk?
33:41Is that father?
33:42Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger, you need your rest.
33:51Sarah...
33:52My Sarah...
33:54You'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!
34:07Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:09Out, out, out!
34:11You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days.
34:17It's fine.
34:18Why am I asleep?
34:20I remember exposing Nerissa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:26Why did I grow to seven years old?
34:29I rushed it.
34:31In the original story, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later, only then driven to her
34:38dead end.
34:38I exposed her too early.
34:41She still had her last breath of magic when I did.
34:44It was not supposed to happen this way.
34:46I sped up everyone's bait.
34:48I bent the entire story by force.
34:52And now it's bending back on me.
34:55Then...
34:56How do I wake up?
34:59Let the story...
35:00Return to its rightful course.
35:03In the original story, Nerissa does not die so easily.
35:06She flees to Sebastian's kingdom, claims 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.
35:16That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:20Only when Nerissa walks her original fate to the end, will I have any chance of waking.
35:26But...
35:27I am asleep now.
35:29I can do nothing.
35:31How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:35You heard her?
35:37Yes.
35:38Let the original plot unfold as it should.
35:40Now this is interesting.
35:42My foolish little girl.
35:44You think father and your brothers would ever let you bear this alone?
35:48Our spies report that Nerissa has slipped into the Vervemont Palace alone and sought audience with Sebastian.
35:54Useless!
35:55Her magic is gone!
35:57Why didn't our men intercept her on the road?
35:58Felix, did you forget what Sarah said?
36:00The story must return to its rightful course.
36:03Nerissa fleeing to Sebastian was always part of the original plot.
36:06So we... help her?
36:08Help her perform this play to its very last act.
36:11Let the wretched ending the original book wrote for her fall upon her, word for word.
36:16Well, well.
36:19If it isn't the cast out princess of Valeria, what brings you here?
36:23Your highness.
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:29You?
36:30A powerless wretch?
36:31With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone.
36:36But in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
36:41What thing?
36:42The gift of prophecy.
36:44I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
36:48Words alone prove nothing.
36:50If 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.
37:04That is enough.
37:09In the original story, Nerissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
37:15Sebastian.
37:25As I expected.
37:27A stable boy in the palace named Marcus.
37:31Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed.
37:35Each time by a different route at a different hour.
37:38Seize him.
37:40Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no.
37:45He is our finest tool for sending Nerissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Nerissa exactly the intelligence she craves.
37:55Your highness, this woman's origins are dubious.
38:00Will you really entrust military secrets to her prophecies?
38:04I want to see for myself whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny.
38:10Speak.
38:11Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month.
38:15My ministers will record every word.
38:18In seven days, Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier,
38:23with Prince Julian personally overseeing the supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates,
38:29and 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,
38:40defended only by leaderless reserves.
38:43Such precision.
38:44And how am I to verify this?
38:46Send your highness's most trusted spy into Valeria to verify.
38:50I stake my own head on the truth of it.
38:53And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited, for a thousand years.
38:59Nerissa attended Sebastian's war council today.
39:03She predicts our army's movements.
39:06In the original story, Sebastian sends a spy to Valeria to verify.
39:11This is the critical moment for our false intelligence.
39:14If the spy sees what Nerissa 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 Nerissa spake, is true.
39:31Excellent. What a goddess of prophecy.
39:34Issue 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.
40:08Per the plan, retreat.
40:10Abandon the city!
40:12And 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.
40:32Your 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.
40:45If 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!
40:56I shall have him groveling at my feet!
41:01Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:07Alaric!
41:08Alaric! Heir of Valeria!
41:10Surprised are you?
41:12Tonight I come for your head!
41:22Welcome.
41:23Welcome.
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.
42:13Impossible. 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!
42:28My intelligence...
42:30could not be wrong.
42:31You set me up!
42:35Not me.
42:36It was my little sister,
42:38who still lies sleeping.
42:39Not me.
42:57Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Sarah.
43:04We did it.
43:13You lying witch!
43:16You have doomed his highness!
43:22Impossible.
43:24How can this be?
43:29Speak.
43:30The child in your Bemi, is it mine?
43:34Your highness, of course it is yours.
43:41Your highness!
43:43This young woman is not with child at all!
43:46You wretched horde!
43:49You dared perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself, your highness.
43:53There 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 twenty years ago.
44:04From the chaos of war.
44:07What?
44:08A ward?
44:09I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown...
44:14...for a swindling woman...
44:16...without a drop of royal blood.
44:20Let me end her with my own hands!
44:23Stop!
44:24Nerissa is a fugitive of Valeria.
44:28Her judgement is not...
44:30...yours to deliver!
44:39Sebastian, crown prince of Viramont.
44:42You 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?
44:51Your majesty of Valeria, our king will cede six eastern border cities in reparution, plus ten thousand gold coins annually
45:01for twenty years.
45:03Begging 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.
45:19I treated you as my own daughter, and yet, you practiced the dark arts.
45:23Poisoned my youngest son, framed my second, conspired against the royal house, committed high treason, and struck down my own
45:30daughter!
45:31Father, do you still not see?
45:34I 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 of all
46:06titles, 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!
46:17Was 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. He
46:37will sit with her alone.
46:38Very well.
46:44Little one, tomorrow is your coronation. These past few years, father has aged greatly.
46:50Coronation? Me? I've slept so long. The story should have returned to its course long ago. Why have I not
46:59woken? 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 coronation.
47:12Her greatest regret, before she passed, was never seeing her own daughter wear it.
47:17Sarah, you have slept for so long. These past years, your father and your three brothers have done everything imaginable.
47:26Neressa is exiled to the Frozen Isles. Sebastian has paid his price and returned home. Valeria has never been stronger.
47:33And yet, there remains a hollow place in my heart. Father does not lack a daughter. Father lacks you. It
47:44matters not how the crown sits upon you. If only you would wake. If only you would call me father
47:50one more time. I would surrender all the rest.
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. This 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.
48:51Sarah.
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 precede 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.
49:33But from the moment I woke, I have known my true home is here.
49:38Where you came from, I never cared.
49:40I only cared whether you would stay.
49:51My dearest little princess, will you allow your brother Felix the honor of escorting you in?
49:56Yes.
50:14May 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.
50:36People of Velouria, welcome your princess!
50:44I once believed I was the one who chose my destiny.
50:48Then destiny pushed me into a place I never knew, turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness with
50:54nothing but tears.
50:55I thought I would change everything.
50:58But the truth is, my father in this place, and my three brothers, with their love, piece by piece, made
51:05me into the true Seraphana.
51:07This time, I do not choose my destiny.
51:10I accept it.
51:11Because what destiny gave me is the most precious family in this world.
51:16Why?
51:20Why?
