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.
00:00:37Oh no, hey 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, then 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.
00:03:43You shameless old man!
00:03:46Asking 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.
00:04:21Maid, 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.
00:06:19These wooden boards are too hard.
00:06:21My back is killing me.
00:06:25He snores louder than thunder.
00:06:28How 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?
00:07:15We heard.
00:07:16You took in a drowning old man recently.
00:07:27You 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.
00:07:46No.
00:07:53These two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:02No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:06You 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, then 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, you 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.
00:09:52I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52What?
00:09:53What are you doing?
00:09:55Forgive us.
00:09:56Old man, when you fell off the boat, we thought you died.
00:09:58Who knew you would be so hard to kill?
00:10:02This is regicide!
00:10:03Your entire lineage will be executed for this!
00:10:06Who is behind this?
00:10:07Hmm.
00:10:09Ignore him, Wayne.
00:10:11Tonight, we will silence every witness here.
00:10:13No one will ever know.
00:10:19Seras, please do not be reckless.
00:10:21I'm just a fisherman.
00:10:23This has nothing to do with me.
00:10:26Please just let me go.
00:10:28That's the price for sticking your nose into this.
00:10:30You chose to take him in.
00:10:31Anyone who was involved in this mess isn't leaving here alive.
00:10:33Shame about your talent for cooking fish.
00:10:35If you were smart, you would have stayed out of this.
00:10:38Let her go!
00:10:40Stop threatening an innocent woman!
00:10:46We've been spotted!
00:10:47Kill them now!
00:10:53Dammit!
00:10:55The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:20Look who is talking about crooked ends.
00:11:22I 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.
00:11:39The docks are full of shady characters and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:43When they saw you, it was not relief I saw.
00:11:45Instead, 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
00:11:54and the tips of their chopsticks.
00:11:55So when we sat down to eat, they suspected nothing.
00:11:58After that, I volunteered to escort them home.
00:12:00But 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.
00:12:11Will you make me a lord this time?
00:12:16They actually want me dead.
00:12:18They've tried to kill me again and again.
00:12:22How could I have been so blind?
00:12:24Hey, please do not cry.
00:12:25A man of your age should not cry.
00:12:27I was only joking earlier.
00:12:28You do not need to make me a lord.
00:12:30Of course you will be one.
00:12:32Once 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.
00:12:38You 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.
00:12:51Anyone 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?
00:12:57We finally caught them alive.
00:12:58We 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?
00:13:10And 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.
00:13:17We must be careful.
00:13:23Call me Arthur Crown then.
00:13:25Why bother with a fake name?
00:13:26Just call yourself the emperor.
00:13:28This old man is hopeless.
00:13:37They are dead.
00:13:39I was right, was I not?
00:13:41Once 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.
00:13:51Those 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
00:14:04choice.
00:14:04I have made my decision.
00:14:05I'll go to my youngest son first.
00:14:07The waterway is faster.
00:14:09Since Uncle Simon is rowing, he can take us south together.
00:14:28Arthur!
00:14:29How 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.
00:14:42Security 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.
00:14:50He 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.
00:15:05Yet you seek him the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:20People say this place is lawless.
00:15:23Full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:25Looking at it now, that is clearly not the case.
00:15:30This old man doesn't even know his own son's land.
00:15:37Excuse me.
00:15:38Which 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.
00:15:51If 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.
00:16:06You 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 saviour.
00:16:14Yes.
00:16:14Every 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.
00:16:59Are 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.
00:17:07We have come to seek his help.
00:17:08Prince Ryan?
00:17:09He'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.
00:17:22We are all grateful for the grace of the prince and his father, our emperor.
00:17:28Ryan, 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.
00:17:58Which one is Prince Ryan?
00:18:09I expected someone much older.
00:18:11He is clearly a handsome young man.
00:18:25Father.
00:18:37this is outrageous traitors like these deserve death by anyone
00:18:49you both have shown great honor you saved my father's lifetime and again
00:18:53words cannot express my gratitude

00:25:08you make a fair point

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
00:28:05who will treat everyone like family
00:28:09as for prince Ryan
00:28:10the one you all admire
00:28:11one thief is too small for his ambitions
00:28:16I will entrust him with far greater duties
00:28:20I hope he will not fail my expectations
00:28:29it seems prince Ryan
00:28:31is destined for greatness
00:28:57I remember our first few days
00:28:58at the estate of prince Ryan
00:29:00that blockhead always came to me
00:29:01for 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
00:29:40his favorites
00:29:41never dare to be so casual
00:29:43in the presence of our father
00:29:44do you have a secret for this?
00:29:48not a secret at all
00:29:50I just treat the emperor
00:29:51like any ordinary elder
00:29:53think of how commoners
00:29:55treat the elders in their family
00:29:57and I treat the emperor
00:29:58the same way
00:30:00I understand now
00:30:10Ryan
00:30:11what are you doing?
00:30:13when a father is in danger
00:30:14a son belongs by his side
00:30:16to protect him
00:30:26having the trust and gratitude
00:30:28of the emperor and his heir
00:30:29a life of luxury is surely guaranteed
00:30:32they might even grant you the title
00:30:34of the official imperial fisher
00:30:56your majesty
00:31:04why the panic
00:31:07prince Dylan has rebelled
00:31:08the rebel forces have blocked every path to the capital
00:31:12prince Eden has proclaimed himself king
00:31:21you treacherous sons
00:31:22while 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
00:31:47a foolish dream
00:31:49those 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
00:32:09good
00:32:10good
00:32:11good
00:32:11where is the nearest army?
00:32:13the mountain city army is three days away
00:32:18father
00:32:18the rebels of prince Dylan have sealed every road out of this thief
00:32:21we cannot leave by land
00:32:23our only chance is to take the river
00:32:27however
00:32:28however what?
00:32:29the imperial guards are all landlubbers from the capital
00:32:31they only know how to fight on land
00:32:33none of them can 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?
00:32:51honestly the imperial gold is not easily earned
00:32:56I cannot simply watch my father face such peril
00:32:59I 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

00:34:11I have caused you much trouble
00:34:17it is no trouble
00:34:18but it is a shame that your highness must live as a lowly fisherman with me
00:34:25in that case

00:35:15Silence. I will protect the Emperor with my life.
00:35:30Forgive me. I... I have become a burden to everyone.
00:35:36Silence. You are truly good for nothing.
00:35:44Get him into the cabin at once. Do not let anyone suspect us.
00:36:04Stay to your business! Stop the boat for an inspection!
00:36:15Officer? We are just humble fishers.

00:39:40after leaving one man in the estate of prince ryan
00:39:42he posed as the emperor to distract the rebels
00:39:44in 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

00:46:22what was that noise
00:46:31help there are river demons in the water
00:46:42oh
00:46:44No!
00:47:17What? What is that? Could river demons really exist?
00:47:31Stay back! Do not come any closer!
00:47:52Chief, you have finally returned!
00:47:55Chief, you have finally returned!
00:48:16Chief, is this band under your command?
00:48:19Yes.
00:48:22You are the chief of this crew?
00:48:29Chief, you heard them call me that, did you not?
00:48:34Chief, you are a bandit queen!
00:48:38Chief, we are only the anchor crew!
00:48:41Chief, hiding a band of a thousand thieves.
00:48:46Huh?
00:48:47Chief, somewhere in a legendary mountain.
00:48:52Commander Wood, you have been reading too many heroic fables.
00:49:06What is the matter with him?
00:49:10His pride is just wounded.
00:49:12Oh?
00:49:14Chief, he tried to play the hero just now, but he did not expect that you are far better at
00:49:19fighting than he is.
00:49:27Chief, I think he did not expect that you are the one that was far from now.
00:49:27Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law please do not give up on my hopeless son.
00:49:33Your Majesty, are you afraid of losing a daughter-in-law or just afraid of having no fish to eat?
00:49:39A bit of both, I suppose.
00:49:46The great Prince Ryan would never fall for a wild woman like me.
00:50:11Charge! Charge! Soldiers, hear my command! Prince Dylan and Prince Eden have betrayed the throne!
00:50:19Treason of this magnitude shall find no mercy! Follow me to crush this rebellion to victory! To victory!
00:50:42The Emperor reclaimed the army. He struck the rebels at once. Loyalists rallied to the throne.
00:50:47They soon destroyed the power of Prince Dylan and Prince Eden. The Empire was secured again.
00:50:52Ryan was named the Crown Prince. With peace restored to the realm, the 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.
00:51:41Yet 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.
00:51:57We 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 a 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.
00:52:18I never thought the road would be so dangerous.
00:52:20Even less did I think you'd lose your heart to me.
00:52:24Your Highness, you 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.
00:52:53You should marry a lady from a noble house.
00:52:55I have been free and wild for far too long.
00:52:56I only want a simple life upon the water.
00:52:58Fate brought us together.
00:53:00But it was not meant to last.
00:53:03Once.
00:53:04My only dream was to be a great ruler.
00:53:07I would lead the Empire with wisdom and bring peace to the people.
00:53:10But 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.
00:53:25And I have mine as well.
00:53:26I am going to lead the anchor crew to become the greatest power in the world,
00:53:29while you must carry the weight of your people.
00:53:35I know that I cannot make you stay.
00:53:37Go now, and I will watch you leave.
00:53:49Ryan.
00:53:50Hmm.
00:53:55When you stood in front of me that day,
00:53:58it truly meant the world to me.
00:54:06Forget it! To hell with the rules! I am the chief after all!
00:54:09Not some refined lady from a noble house!
00:54:58I really thought that you would follow that lad to the capital as Empress.
00:55:07I 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?
00:55:33Anyway, I've secured a grand future for the anchor crew.
00:55:37A grand future? What kind of future?
00:55:40chief!
00:55:41chief!
00:55:41you know, the king, the king, the king!
00:55:58me too.
00:56:02Don't you think the king, the king!
00:56:07Chief! Chief! Look, 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!
00:56:34Who would ever dare to cross us 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!
00:57:24Chief!
00:57:36Just when we finally found some peace, is it possible the remnants of Dillon and Eden have come back to
00:57:40haunt us?
00:57:50There is no need for panic
00:57:52This river belongs
00:57:54To the Watsons
00:58:27Erica, since my father returned to the capital
00:58:29He has been talking about how you would start showing symptoms by now
00:58:32Your appetite must be quite poor
00:58:35I searched the entire capital for this
00:58:37Preserved ginger is a miracle cure for nausea
00:58:45Quite a grand spectacle, your highness
00:58:48Bringing ginger with the entire imperial guards
00:58:50The crown prince has no place at this dock
00:58:53When he belongs on the throne of gold
00:58:58The throne of gold is far too cold
00:58:59And it is not comfortable at all
00:59:02I gave you my word
00:59:04That I would protect you for life
00:59:06Chopping wood and building fires
00:59:08Is a skill I have truly mastered
00:59:12Well, well
00:59:13Do you all see this?
00:59:16The eye of our chief is truly sharp
00:59:19The follow-up service is quite impressive
00:59:21Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door
00:59:36What are you waiting for?
00:59:37Since you are here to build fires
00:59:38Get to the backyard at once
00:59:40Chalk that pile of wet wood
00:59:42Hey, I am going
00:59:45Hey, I am going
01:00:15Your highness
01:00:15Have mercy
01:00:16This is an urgent border report
01:00:18The emperor claims a headache as an excuse
01:00:20And insists that you review the matter
01:00:21You must make the final decision
01:00:22At least give it a single glance
01:00:23Can you not see that I am busy?
01:00:25The feet of Erica are badly swollen today
01:00:27I must finish this pile of wood quickly
01:00:29To boil water for her foot bath
01:00:37He is actually boiling water for a foot bath
01:00:38To think the crown prince would perform such a chore
01:00:41If this news ever reaches the capital
01:00:43The old men of the censoret will certainly die of shame
01:00:52Just leave the reports on that large stone
01:00:54Once Erica is finally in a deep sleep
01:00:56I will find the time to review them
01:00:58Nothing shall interrupt her foot bath now
01:01:07Chief
01:01:10Chief
01:01:11Look at that beggar over there
01:01:13Why does he look exactly like that old man
01:01:23Arthur Crown
01:01:24Erica, quick
01:01:25Erica, quick
01:01:26I am here
01:01:28Prepare for my welcome
01:01:40Your majesty
01:01:42You belong on the throne in the capital
01:01:44Why did you come here looking like this?
01:01:51I am done with that throne
01:01:52It is so stiff that it is painful to sit on
01:01:55The palace food is worse than tasteless dishwater
01:01:57Erica, I've been starving for three whole days
01:01:59Prepare a bowl of fish and tofu at once
01:02:19Now this is the flavor that I missed
01:02:22Now this is the flavor that I missed
01:02:30My sense of taste is slowly fading away because of them
01:02:40You are a distinguished guest
01:02:43But with that look
01:02:44Did you run away from home?
01:02:46Or are you just slacking off on your duties?
01:02:56Who cares about that?
01:02:58In this world of ours
01:02:59A good meal is the only thing that counts
01:03:14Erica, I would like another bowl of rice
01:03:17Drench it in that fish broth for me
01:03:23There is plenty of fish and rice for everyone
01:03:41Erica, while enjoying the fish you prepared these days
01:03:44I have come up with a flawless plan
01:03:46I will fire the head of the imperial kitchen
01:03:49Who only knows how to make useless radish carvings
01:03:52You must bring the little one
01:03:54And come back to take charge
01:03:56Once that is done
01:03:57Ryan can finish the reports in the throne room
01:03:59And walk right over to the inner palace to be with you
01:04:01I will also get to enjoy this tofu fish every single day
01:04:05Life would be absolutely perfect
01:04:19Your majesty
01:04:20I am the leader of the anchor crew
01:04:23Not some personal cook for your family
01:04:33Leading the imperial kitchen is an honor that most only dream of
01:04:38Surely it beats the harsh life on the water
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
01:04:47Do you expect them to pack their bags, enter the capital, and drain the national treasury?
01:05:05Father, the spirit of Erica is wild
01:05:07She loves the breeze of the open river
01:05:08She hates the high walls of the palace
01:05:10And what of you?
01:05:11You are the crown prince
01:05:16I have made my decision
01:05:18I will simply work twice as hard
01:05:21I can handle the throne during the day
01:05:23And return to this dock every night
01:05:25Sean rose fast enough for the trip
01:05:28So I will not feel any exhaustion
01:05:32Your highness
01:05:34Please show some mercy
01:05:36If you travel back and forth like that
01:05:37I am the one who will truly suffer
01:05:58Dad!
01:06:02Dad!
01:06:04Dad!
01:06:04Dad!
01:06:05Dad!
01:06:09Your highness, your head is bleeding.
01:06:11You are injured, so please sit and rest.
01:06:15This little bit of blood means nothing.
01:06:20Erika is in far more pain than I am.
01:06:38Push harder, chief.
01:06:39I can see the head now.
01:07:00Congratulations to you all.
01:07:02The chief has finally given birth.
01:07:04It is a radiant baby girl.
01:07:06Both mother and daughter are well.
01:07:16Wonderful.
01:07:17I finally have a granddaughter.
01:07:20I have finally gained a sweet granddaughter who will never grow a beard like my sons.
01:07:31She is so beautiful.
01:07:33Her features are truly delicate.
01:07:37She looks just like Erika.
01:07:39She is the perfect image of Erika.
01:07:40To hear my imperial decree, every one of the anchor crew shall receive a full year of funds for fish
01:07:45stock.
01:07:45This reward will come from my private funds.
01:07:47Send another decree back to the capital.
01:07:49Let the entire nation celebrate.
01:07:50I want every subject of the empire to share the blessing of my granddaughter.
01:07:59Your majesty, a nationwide celebration.
01:08:02The court will surely fall into a total uproar.
01:08:06Let them fume then!
01:08:07As no one dares to oppose me!
01:08:09Send any who disagree to argue with me in person!
01:08:21To be continued...
01:08:23To be continued...
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 rite!
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!
01:09:33My sweetheart!
01:09:34My sweetheart!
01:09:36Bring the boat to the shore now!
01:09:38I 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!
01:10:04Erica, the capital is far too suffocating!
01:10:07I have left all state affairs to the ministers so that I can stay here with you for two weeks!
01:10:11Well, 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 neck 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 and pack for five silver coins!
01:10:41On the night of our mating ceremony, I sat on the edge of a broken bed, biting my lip!

01:10:59apart 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, never spoke a word to him!
01:11:12It's that I wandered to him, never even looked him in the eye!
01:11:15I never thought my aunt would sell me to him!
01:11:18No gifts, no 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!
01:11:31Don'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, until the door banged open.
01:11:40I gasped.
01:11:42His leather coat was slashed open across the ribs.
