Short filmTranscript
00:03Where am I? What happened?
00:07I 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.
00:35Can't talk?
00:36As a CEO, am I gonna die in the woods?
00:41Are you kidding me?
00:46Help! 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.
01:01Are 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,
01:17perfect 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?
01:34Keep watching.
01:35Perhaps she is a warning from the heavens.
01:39She is a bright and lovely kid.
01:42I'll raise her in the palace.
01:43Help! Don't take me!
01:46Your whole family!
01:48Your whole family!
01:49I'm sure it is a ghost!
01:54Alarak, I have state affairs to attend to.
01:56Watch over the infant for now.
01:58I'll have the maids prepare a separate room for her.
02:03Don't go, old man!
02:04Did she just call father an old man?
02:11Alarak?
02:12What is that in your arms?
02:14No way!
02:15You gotta be kidding me!
02:18I literally just got here!
02:20And there she is!
02:21The heroine, Neressa!
02:24Classic fairytale face.
02:26However, total lie.
02:28That's how she fools everyone.
02:31Alarak?
02:32What 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.
02:40Perfect for my dark magic.
02:43Drain her.
02:44And I'm unstoppable.
02:47Alarak, since father is busy,
02:49why not let me watch her?
02:51I promise to cherish her like my own flesh and blood.
02:54Help!
02:55You idiot!
02:56She's going to eat me!
02:58My soul is literally screaming!
03:01Stop!
03:02I can't breathe.
03:05Someone can help me!
03:12Nerissa!
03:13What did you do?
03:16I...
03:17I don't know, Alarak!
03:18I...
03:18I barely touched her!
03:20Why is she bleeding?
03:21Oh my god!
03:22Is she too frail to even be held?
03:24Come on!
03:26You were literally trying to suck the life out of me
03:28and 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 an explanation.
03:47Ugh, 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.
03:59I'm not used to holding a baby.
04:01I didn't mean to hurt her.
04:02Hey, don't be upset, Atnarissa.
04:04Got this for you on my trip.
04:05Best Rouge.
04:06Ugh!
04:07Again!
04:08Cheap junk.
04:09Like I care.
04:10So annoying.
04:11Ugh, Julian is totally blinded.
04:14Every 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.
04:22She literally fools you.
04:23No wonder you end up a beggar in the book.
04:26You could have been brilliant for this kingdom.
04:28Instead, she bleeds you dry while turning father against you.
04:31Making it look like you're the one wasting it all.
04:34Can I actually hear her thoughts?
04:35Don't be fooled by Nerissa's innocent act.
04:38Look at her sleeve.
04:39That ruby ring.
04:41The only heirloom your mom left is in there.
04:45Oh, wait.
04:46I just remembered.
04:48Heh.
04:48I grabbed the wrong one.
04:49Atnarissa, this Rouge isn't for you.
04:51It's actually for the headmate.
04:52What?
04:53But-
04:54Give it back.
04:55I'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.
05:14Why do you have my mother's ruby ring?
05:16I-I have no idea.
05:18It just appeared on my desk.
05:20Julian, I was on my way to give it back to father.
05:24Wow, the audacity!
05:26Did the ring grow legs and crawl into your sleeve to dance?
05:31Why didn't it crawl into my arms instead?
05:42Mother's ruby ring.
05:45It chose her.
05:47Fine.
05:48Then as a welcome gift.
05:51It's hers now.
05:53Really?
05:53Julian?
05:54You're the best!
05:56Since you're being so generous,
05:59I'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.
06:08It's the last ingredient I need for my level up potion.
06:12I have to get it back.
06:14She's still a baby.
06:16This gift is way too valuable for her.
06:18Julian, let me hold on to it for now.
06:22Too much for her, but not for you?
06:24Or is it that you've never cared for anything I give you,
06:28and only have eyes for my mother's heirloom?
06:30Is this really what you think of me?
06:33Forget it, Julian.
06:35You're wasting your breath.
06:36She'll never admit it, no matter how much you press her.
06:40Forget the ring!
06:41Felix is ambushed and badly hurt at the border.
06:45The enemy spies will kidnap him if we don't move!
06:48The border? Felix is in trouble?
06:50No!
06:59No!
07:03No!
07:06No!
07:08No!
07:09Where is Felix?
07:10Where's my brother?
07:13Father!
07:14Alaric!
07:16I just saw Felix by the canyon.
07:18It looked like he was retreating that way.
07:20Move! Let's find him!
07:22Don't listen to her!
07:23It's the other way!
07:25She's lying so you won't find him,
07:27and Felix will be kidnapped by the spies!
07:31If you don't save him, father,
07:33you'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.
07:43This is the chance to see if this baby's thoughts are actually true.
07:48Father, I saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction.
07:52Felix might be over there.
07:53In that case, split up!
07:55Search both ways!
08:02To the left!
08:04Hurry!
08:05Felix is behind that cave!
08:07He's barely holding on!
08:10Hang on, Felix!
08:16Felix!
08:17Felix!
08:18We made it just in time.
08:20Don't worry, brother.
08:21I am here to save you.
08:24I'm so sorry, Father Alaric.
08:26I was so panicked on the battlefield that I got confused.
08:29I actually meant to point in this direction, too.
08:32That's enough!
08:33We need to treat Alaric.
08:34Just get out!
08:44'mf-
08:46oof!
08:48oof!
08:48oof!
08:48oof!
08:49oof!
08:49Father,
08:50there are spies in the border guard.
08:52Our secret passage.
08:53The enemy found it.
08:55I know.
08:56Just focus on recovering.
08:57I'll handle the rest.
08:58Thank God!
08:59In the book,
09:00the king didn't trust Felix,
09:02and refused to heal him.
09:03He was even going to exile him.
09:05Felix tried to prove himself
09:06by infiltrating the enemy but he was framed as a spy and father executed him with his own hands on
09:12the battlefield he died screaming his innocence am i actually hearing this baby's thoughts

20:38julian
20:39in the book alaric just tried to speak up for julian and this old man banished them to the black
20:44domian abyss for the royal hunt he called it training but it was a death sentence they were swarmed by
20:51high
20:51level beasts alaric lost a leg and julian's mana veins were shattered protecting him he became a total
20:58cripple father may i hold sarah as well and then there's poor felix he was supposed to be the champion
21:06of the hunt titled the god of war and lead our armies to victory but in the book nerissa made
21:12sure
21:12he never even made it back from the border the next time he saw father was on the battlefield as
21:18enemies

22:55brothers don't leave me in this death trap father i think we should take sarah with us
23:03exactly she has mother's ring and the eternal guardian in terms of defense she's actually the safest one
23:09among us sarah is our lucky star who knows maybe she'll be the one protecting us there's definitely

24:37father is only concerned for your safety my my if you brothers don't want narissa i certainly do
24:45narissa since your brothers don't cherish you come with me instead fine since you're so eager to be the
24:51fool take her with you brothers let's move out sarah is losing her patience that baby is a total jinx
24:58nothing but bad luck whenever she's around fine i'll go without sebastian for now and wait for
25:03the perfect moment to strike then i thank you prince sebastian let's go
25:17four at 50 meters to the left combat power two stars juliet can handle it with a snap of his
25:24fingers but do not touch that sweet smelling grass straight ahead it's a soul eater spider trap
25:29nerissa said it's specific for felix because she knows he loves the scent of that herb
25:35that was close i almost fell for it again felix what's wrong nothing i just feel like the mist
25:42is getting thicker of course it's thick sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll he's turning
25:48this forest into an inescapable labyrinth julian do you have any treasures that can break through a
25:53seal it seems completely useless yes the seal tainted dark magic of course it won't work the forest's guardian
26:00the sacred stag has been trapped by the wicked array they set up beforehand with the stag trapped
26:06the forest's purication is gone if you guys don't find the stag and break the seal by midnight
26:11every pure soul in this forest will become cruel from the rest of dark magic that includes me she'll drain
26:18me dry
26:18help help since we can't walk out of here locate the stag directly don't be afraid sarah as long as
26:26we're here we won't let anything happen to you wow my brothers are the best come on think where exactly
26:34is
26:34the sacred stag ah i remember now it's under that withered millennial oak tree that's the heart of the
26:42forest in the center of the array the stag is trapped in a dark magic seal called the eternal cage
26:51the poor stag those black chains are draining its life force brothers look there are four skulls around
26:59the array those are the anchor points they must be destroyed at the same time four anchor points but

31:18i don't want to get it
31:44i don't want to get it
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?!
32:06The 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.
32:16Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess.
32:21Today you have wielded dark magic, poisoned the royal house, and struck down my own daughter.
32:25I hereby decree you are stripped of your status as a ward of Veloria and of every title bestowed upon
32:30you!
32:31From this day forth, you are banished from this kingdom, never to return!
32:35Father! One day you will regret this!
32:42Home. Let us go home.
32:47Little one, let me hear your voice one more time, please.
32:54Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her to undo the curse with her own hands!
32:58It's no use. Her magic is gone, she can do nothing now.
33:02From 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...
33:14Hmm...
33:15Why is it so dark? Where is this?
33:18Sarah?
33:18Sarah?
33:20I feel like I'm dreaming.
33:22But this dream feels so real.
33:25I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother, you heard that too.
33:30We heard it!
33:31It's Sarah, it's her voice!
33:36What is it?
33:37Has Sarah woken?
33:39Hmm...
33:39Do I smell hot milk?
33:41Is that father?
33:43Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger, you need your rest.
33:51Sarah...
33:52Sarah...
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.
34:06It's so noisy!
34:07Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:10Out, out, out!
34:11You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days.
34:17It's fine.
34:19Why am I asleep?
34:20I remember exposing Nerissa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:27Why 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.
34:37Only then driven to her dead end.
34:39I 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 fate.
34:49I bent the entire story by force.
34:52And now it's bending back on me.
34:56Then...
34:57How do I wake up?
34:59Let the story...
35:01Return 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.
35:21Only when Nerissa walks her original fate to the end will I have any chance of waking.
35:27But...
35:28I am asleep now.
35:29I can do nothing.
35:30How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:36You 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.
35:55Useless!
35:56Her magic is gone!
35:57Why didn't our men intercept her on the road?
35:59Felix, did you forget what Sarah said?
36:01The story must return to its rightful course.
36:04Nerissa fleeing to Sebastian was always part of the original plot.
36:07So we...
36:08Help 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.
36:17Well, well.
36:19If it isn't the cast out princess of Valeria, what brings you here?
36:24Your highness.
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:29You?
36:30A powerless wretch?
36:32With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone.
36:37But in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
36:42What thing?
36:43The gift of prophecy.
36:44I can see every movement of Valeria's armor.
36:49Words alone prove nothing.
36:51If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
36:55Tell me how, your highness.
36:57I 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
37:16Sebastian.
37:26As I expected.
37:28A stable boy in the palace named Marcus.
37:32Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed, each time by a different route at a different
37:38hour.
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.
37:56Your 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 detach 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier, with Prince Julian personally overseeing the
38:26supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates, and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
38:34In 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?
38:47Send your highness's most trusted spy into Valeria to verify.
38:50I stake my own head on the truth.
38:53And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited, for a thousand years.
39:00Nerissa attended Sebastian's war council today.
39:04She 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?
39:24Your highness, every word Princess Nerissa spake is true.
39:32Excellent, what a goddess of prophecy.
39:35Issue my command. In ten days, our army marches.
39:38We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike!
39:46Help me seize Valeria, and I shall make you my queen.
39:51Foolish man. Once I am your queen and bear your son, all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:05Felix, the enemy is too strong. We are not prepared.
40:08Per the plan, retreat.
40:11Abandon 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 leaves 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!
41:02Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric!
41:09Alaric! Heir of Valeria!
41:11Surprised are you?
41:12Tonight I come for your head!
41:23Welcome.
41:31Welcome.
41:32An empty city, just as she said.
41:35Neressa, this time I shall reward you handsomely.
41:44From 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. Our line of retreat has been cut!
42:28My intelligence... could not be wrong.
42:32You set me up!
42:35Not me. It was my little sister, who still lies sleeping.
42:40Not me.
42:58Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Sarah. We did it.
43:14You lying witch! You have doomed his highness!
43:23Impossible. How can this be?
43:30Speak. The child in your Bemi, is it mine?
43:34Your highness, of course it is yours.
43:42Your highness! This young woman is not with child at all!
43:47You wretched horde! You dare perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself, your highness. There is yet one more thing you do not know.
43:56Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan our father took in twenty years ago, from the chaos of war.
44:07What? A ward?
44:10A ward?
44:11I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown...
44:14For a swindling woman...
44:17Without a drop of royal blood.
44:19No!
44:21Let me end her with my own hands!
44:23Stop!
44:25Nerissa is a fugitive of Valeria.
44:28Her judgement is not yours to deliver!
44:32Never!
44:39Sebastian, Crown Prince of Viramont.
44:42You initiated unprovoked war and invaded Valeria, bringing 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, plus ten thousand gold coins annually
45:02for twenty years.
45:03Begging only for the life of our crown prince!
45:07So be it. Prince Sebastian will remain in Valeria as a hostage for two years to oversee the reparations.
45:14He may return home only after that term is fulfilled.
45:17So, Nerissa, 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 the royal house, committed
45:27high treason, and struck down my own daughter!
45:32Father, do you still not see?
45:34I was meant to be your only daughter, the only princess of Valeria!
45:39Your 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!
45:51She stole my place! She took the destiny that was supposed to be mine!
45:56From 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
46:07titles, exiled to the frozen islands, never to return!
46:11No! Not the frozen islands! All of this was supposed to be mine! All of this was supposed to be
46:17mine!
46:18All of this was supposed to be mine! Was supposed to be mine!
46:27All of this 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. He
46:37will sit with her alone.
46:39Very 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
47:00woken? 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.
47:13Her 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 everything imaginable.
47:26Neressa is exiled to the frozen isles. Sebastian has paid his price and returned home. Veloria has never been stronger.
47:34And yet, there remains a hollow place in my heart.
47:39Father does not lack a daughter. Father lacks you.
47:44It matters not how the crown sits upon you. If only you would wake. If only you would call me
47:50father one more time. I would surrender all the rest.
48:04Father.
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
48:21hands.
48:21This time, I will simply be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return all night. I thought something had happened.
48:33Good morning, Felix.
48:35Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost? It's not as if I actually died.
48:42Sarah! You're awake! You're awake!
48:46Felix! My milk is going to spill!
48:50Sarah!
48:51Sarah! Sarah!
48:53Brother, I've waited for you for so long.
48:55Goodness! So much commotion this early in the morning, my eyeliner is going to run!
49:00Julian, 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.
49:11From today onward, Sarah will truly bear this name.
49:15I have never asked you, Sarah.
49:17Do you truly wish to call me father?
49:20Yes.
49:23It 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.
49:41I only cared whether you would stay.
49:52My dearest little princess, will you allow your brother Felix the honor of escorting you in?
50:02I just don't think so.
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, bearer of the crown's honor of our glory, of every
50:33pure soul in this land.
50:36People of Velouria, welcome your princess!
50:45I once believed I was the one who chose my destiny.
50:49Then destiny pushed me into a place I never knew, turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness with
50:55nothing but tears.
50:56I thought I would change everything, but the truth is, my father in this place and my three brothers, with
51:03their love, piece by piece, made me into the true Seraphina.
51:07This time I do not choose my destiny.
51:10I accept it, because what destiny gave me is the most precious family in this world.
