00:04Where am I?
00:07What happened?
00:09I stayed up reading and I passed out from exhaustion.
00:12How did this happen?
00:16I do not believe in destiny.
00:20I choose it.
00:22Not even God gets to control my life.
00:37I can't talk?
00:38As a CEO, am I going to die in the woods?
00:43Are you kidding me?
00:47Help!
00:49I don't want to die!
00:54Father, there is a child.
00:56Alarak, bring the child to me.
00:58Alarak?
01:00Wait, that name sounds familiar.
01:03Are these two, the king and the crown prince, a novel I was reading?
01:07I'm actually inside the book.
01:09Father, did you hear that?
01:11In the novel, they adopt an abandoned baby.
01:14Then that hypocrite Neressa realizes the baby soul is pure energy, perfect for her dark magic.
01:21She'll play nice and suck me dry.
01:24I'm the cannon fodder.
01:26I'm the cannon fodder.
01:26I'm gonna die!
01:28Father, we are truly hearing her thoughts.
01:31But how did she know Nerissa?
01:33How can she know things that haven't happened?
01:36Keep watching.
01:41There's a bright and lovely kid.
01:44I'll raise her in the palace.
01:47Classic fairy tale face.
01:49However, total lie.
01:52That's how she fools everyone.
01:54Alarak?
01:55What is that in your arms?
01:57Father just rescued this baby from the wild.
01:59He's planning to adopt her.
02:01Such a pure soul, perfect for my dark magic.
02:06Drain her, and I'm unstoppable.
02:10Alarak, since father is busy, why not let me watch her?
02:14I promise to cherish her like my own flesh and blood.
02:18Help!
02:18You idiot!
02:20She's going to eat me!
02:21My soul is literally screaming!
02:25Stop.
02:26I can't...
02:27I'm sorry, Alarak.
02:29I'm not used to holding a baby.
02:31I didn't mean to hurt her.
02:32Hey, don't be upset, Aunt Nerissa.
02:34Got this for you on my trip.
02:35Best rouge.
02:36Ugh.
02:37Again?
02:38Cheap junk.
02:39Like I care.
02:40So annoying.
02:41Ugh.
02:42Julian is totally blinded.
02:44Every single gift he gives her ends up in the trash the second he turns around.
02:48Wait.
02:49What was that?
02:50Thought you were smarter.
02:52She literally fools you.
02:53No wonder you end up a beggar in the book.
02:56You could have been brilliant for this kingdom.
02:58Instead, she bleeds you dry while turning father against you, making it look like you're
03:03the one wasting it all.
03:04Can I actually hear her thoughts?
03:05Don't be fooled by Nerissa's innocent act.
03:08Look at her sleeve.
03:09That ruby ring.
03:11The only heirloom your mom left is in there.
03:15Oh, wait.
03:16I just remembered.
03:18I grabbed the wrong one.
03:19Aunt Nerissa, this rouge isn't for you.
03:21It's actually for the headmate.
03:22What?
03:23What?
03:23Give it back.
03:25I'll bring you something much better later.
03:31Caught red-handed.
03:33Let's see how you lie your way out of this one, princess.
03:44Why do you have my mother's ruby ring?
03:46I have no idea.
03:48It just appeared on my desk.
03:50Julian, I was on my way to give it back to father.
03:54Wow, the audacity.
03:56Did the ring grow legs and crawl into your sleeve to dance?
04:01Why didn't it crawl into my arms instead?
04:12Mother's ruby ring.
04:15It chose her.
04:17Fine.
04:18Then as a welcome gift.
04:21It's hers now.
04:22Really?
04:23Julian, you're the best.
04:27Since you're being so generous, I'll make sure you become the richest man alive.
04:33No one's stealing from you on my watch.
04:35I was going to refine this ruby.
04:38It's the last ingredient I need for my level-up potion.
04:42I have to get it back.
04:44She's still a baby.
04:46This gift is way too valuable for her.
04:48Julian, let me hold on to it for now.
04:52Too much for her, but not for you.
04:54Or is it that you've never cared for anything I give you,
04:58and only have eyes for my mother's heirloom?
05:00Is this really what you think of me?
05:03Forget it, Julian.
05:05You're wasting your breath.
05:06She'll never admit it, no matter how much you press her.
05:10Forget the ring!
05:11Felix is ambushed and badly hurt at the border.
05:15The enemy spies will kidnap him if we don't move.
05:18The border?
05:19Felix is in trouble?
05:26Father!
05:30Father!
05:38Father, where is Felix?
05:40Where's my brother?
05:44Father!
05:45Alaric!
05:46I just saw Felix by the canyon.
05:48It looked like he was retreating that way.
05:49Move!
05:50Let's find him!
05:52Don't listen to her!
05:54It's the other way!
05:55She's lying so you won't find him,
05:57and Felix will be kidnapped by the spies!
06:01If you don't save him, father,
06:03you'll think he abandoned his post.
06:05You'll lose all trust in him,
06:07and it ends with the brothers killing each other.
06:10Poor Felix!
06:12Perfect.
06:12This is the chance to see if this baby's thoughts are actually true.
06:18Father,
06:19I saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction.
06:22Felix might be over there.
06:23In that case, split up!
06:25Search both ways!
06:32To the left!
06:34Hurry!
06:35Felix is behind that cave!
06:37He's barely holding on!
06:39Hang on, Felix!
06:46Felix!
06:47Felix!
06:48We made it just in time.
06:50Don't worry, brother.
06:51I am here to save you.
06:54I'm so sorry, Father Alaric.
06:56I was so panicked on the battlefield that I got confused.
06:59I actually meant to point in this direction, too.
07:02That's enough!
07:03We need to treat Alaric.
07:04Just get out!
07:20Father, there are spies in the border guard.
07:22Our secret passage.
07:23The enemy found it.
07:25I know.
07:26Just focus on recovering.
07:27I'll handle the rest.
07:28Thank God!
07:29In the book,
07:30the king didn't trust Felix and refused to heal him.
07:33He was even going to exile him.
07:35Felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy,
07:38but he was framed as a spy,
07:40and Father executed him with his own hands on the battlefield.
07:43He died screaming his innocence.
07:45Am I actually hearing this baby's thoughts?
07:48How can she predict the future?
07:51Father, who is this baby?
07:53I've decided to formally adopt her.
07:55From this day on, she is Princess Sarah of Valeria.
07:57What about Nerissa?
07:59She hasn't even been officially titled yet.
08:01Oh my God!
08:02Felix, did you lose your brain on the battlefield?
08:04You're still worried about that wicked woman.
08:07You were hit by a poison arrow, remember?
08:09She's the one who brewed that poison.
08:11She used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions.
08:14Father, was I poisoned?
08:17Don't worry.
08:18I will get to the bottom of this.
08:25Father is actually adapting that Brit,
08:27giving her a royal title.
08:28I'm the only one in this palace.
08:30Ever since that baby arrived, nothing has gone right.
08:33I didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence.
08:36I can't have her soul.
08:37I'll kill her.
08:38What are you doing here eavesdropping?
08:40Julian, I was just so worried about Felix.
08:44Worried?
08:45I certainly didn't see any sign of that.
08:47Is it because I'm too clumsy?
08:49Do you all love the new baby now and don't care about me anymore?
08:52Unbelievable.
08:53Fighting a baby for attention?
08:54I've never seen anyone so shameless.
08:57Enough with the drama.
08:58We're taking Sarah to the royal auction.
09:00Get out of the way.
09:00The auction?
09:01I want to go too!
09:02We're going to buy a welcome print for Sarah.
09:04Why are you coming?
09:05You always used to take me with you.
09:07Follow us if you must.
09:08Hmph.
09:09Fine by me.
09:10That's where Nerissa finds the sapphire necklace.
09:12It has a shield that can block a lethal blow in a crisis.
09:16Father's final strike feels because of that necklace.
09:19I want it.
09:20Brothers, you better buy it for me or I'll cry my eyes out.
09:26Wow!
09:26I want that!
09:27And that too!
09:28Being a princess is amazing!
09:30All these shiny treasures should be mine!
09:33Distinguished guests, next up is the pure snow lotus from the frozen lands.
09:39It contains the purest energy, perfect for crafting holy elixirs.
09:45Starting at 500 gold coins.
09:48The pure snow lotus?
09:50This is exactly what I need to replace the ruby for my potion.
09:53Alaric, I really want that.
09:55Could you get it for me?
09:57Fine.
09:59I knew it.
10:01This moron is still no match for my mind control spell.
10:055,000 gold coins.
10:07Sold!
10:08Congratulations to the crown prince on securing this treasure.
10:10Thank you, Alaric.
10:11I knew you cared about me the most.
10:13Don't mention it.
10:14Felix needs the pure energy of this lotus for his recovery.
10:17It's for him.
10:18Ha!
10:19Alaric is finally wising up.
10:21Nerissa's mind control doesn't seem to work anymore.
10:23Where is that sapphire necklace Sarah mentioned?
10:25Did the information be wrong?
10:27Excuse me, is this how a major auction house treats the Valonia Royals?
10:31Peddling these common trinkles to us?
10:34My apologies, Prince Julian.
10:36We did just receive a true treasure today.
10:38It wasn't in the catalogue yet.
10:39Don't make us wait.
10:40Bring it out now.
10:41If our Sarah likes it, I don't care who bids, I'll pay ten times their price.
10:44What?
10:45Spending that much on a baby who knows nothing?
10:47Julian, have you lost your mind?
10:50Julian, so you're using the national treasury to entertain a baby?
10:54I suppose your kingdom is nearing its end.
10:57Your understanding of wealth clearly differs from mine.
11:00What you see as a national fortune, I see as a single day's profit.
11:03That's it, the Eternal Guardian.
11:06With this, no wicked curse or dark magic can ever touch me.
11:11Sarah definitely wants it.
11:12That's fine.
11:13My instincts are screaming that treasure was meant for me.
11:16There it is.
11:17No matter the cost, that necklace must never fall into Nerissa's hands.
11:24Distinguished guests, this is the Eternal Guardian starting bid 10,000 gold coins.
11:34Alaric, Julian, why aren't you bidding?
11:37This treasure is one of a kind.
11:38It would be a tragedy to lose it.
11:42Sister, how did you know I liked it?
11:44Since you're so thoughtful, why don't you buy it for me?
11:48Princess Nerissa of Valeria bids 50,000 gold coins.
11:52It's not me.
11:53I don't have the money.
11:54I can't afford this.
11:55These brothers and father have showered you with wealth for years,
11:58and you have the nerve to say you have no money?
12:00Figures.
12:00She's been using every pure energy treasure for her vile potions.
12:05Alaric, Julian is being so mean to me.
12:09100,000.
12:11I knew it.
12:12He's the easiest to manipulate.
12:14One fake tear and he'll hand over the necklace.
12:17I can see Sarah is very fond of this treasure.
12:19Since neither of you can afford it, I'll buy it for Sarah as a welcome gift.
12:23Enough!
12:23You two are disgusting ganging up on poor, innocent Nerissa.
12:28Fine.
12:29If you two won't appreciate her, I will take this necklace for her.
12:35200,000!
12:39I knew that Prince Sebastian looked familiar.
12:41It's definitely him!
12:43Nerissa's already in league with him!
12:45They're just shurs pushing the price up!
12:47In the book, Julian, over ten times the value just to save face!
12:50And half that money went straight into Sebastian's pocket!
12:54Well, Prince Sebastian, I wonder exactly how much you're willing to pay to play the hero for my sister.
12:59His limit is one million gold coins.
13:01He'll stop right there and wait for Julian to take the bait.
13:06990,000 gold coins.
13:08Idiots.
13:08Always doubling the bid.
13:10One more raise from Sebastian and Julian will definitely hit two million.
13:14Then both the treasure and the money will be mine.
13:17One million!
13:17Anyone else?
13:20One million gold coins going once!
13:22Twice!
13:23One million sold!
13:26Congratulations to Prince Sebastian on winning the Eternal Guardian!
13:29Wait!
13:30Why aren't you bidding?
13:32Sold!
13:32Where am I supposed to get that much money?
13:34Talk about a backfire!
13:36Let's see how you two split the loot now!
13:42Nerissa!
13:43You told me Julian was a rich fool who would drain the treasury for you!
13:47Why isn't he bidding?
13:48Have you lost your mind?
13:49You can't afford it, so you're throwing dirt on me?
13:51I have no idea what you're talking about!
13:53Oh wow!
13:55Look at them tear each other apart!
13:58Sebastian, you're toast!
14:00Nerissa treats men like disposable rags!
14:03She's done with you!
14:04Prince Sebastian, by the rules!
14:07If you refuse to pay, you must pay a 50% penalty immediately!
14:12Or Vyrebut Kingdom will be blacklisted forever!
14:16Blacklist me!
14:18How dare you?
14:19My father is the grand archmite of the sacred domain!
14:22Try it, and I'll tear this auction house down stone by stone!
14:27Gods!
14:29Get in here!
14:31Surround this dishonest auction house!
14:34Smash everything!
14:35Kill anyone who stands in my way!
14:40Try me.
14:43Brothers, watch out!
14:44He's got a forbidden scroll hidden in his boot!
14:47He's planning to trigger a lava blurs to burn everyone alive and fake it as an accident!
14:59In the original story, it's exactly this auction that he was father to trust in action.
15:04That's how it and Julian started his downward spiral into ruin!
15:08Julian, don't let Nerissa and Sebastian destroy you!
15:11This entire mess is a trap they set up together!
15:15I planned to use Julian for a bit now.
15:18But you first made it.
15:20Today, that sapphire necklace must be mine!
15:32Sebastian.
15:33Did you forget this auction house is my property?
15:36You are declaring open war on the kingdom of Valyria!
15:48Wow!
15:50Julian is amazing!
15:51He's a total beast!
15:53He looks so cool!
15:54I knew Julian was a genius in both business and magic!
15:58Did you hear that?
16:00Sarah definitely likes me more.
16:06Since Prince can't afford it, I'm taking this necklace.
16:11This is my official gift to Sarah.
16:14No!
16:15That's mine!
16:19That's mine!
16:21Oh my god, is Nerissa actually having a meltdown right now?
16:25Her dark magic isn't even finished yet, showing her true face now would be a fuming state.
16:32She still needs the Divine Stagger's antlers from the upcoming royal hunt.
16:36Julian, Alaric only cares about the baby now.
16:40You can't be biased against me too, can you?
16:42You used to cherish me the most!
16:44Look at you.
16:45Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewelry, all paid for by me.
16:48Now that you mention it, I need to get Sarah a gift.
16:51I'm buying out every single item from today's auction.
16:54Send it all to the palace as gifts to Sarah.
16:58Wow!
16:59Julian is the best!
17:00He's literally a walking goldmine!
17:02He's so rich and powerful!
17:05I love this CEO vibe!
17:07Julian is my absolute favorite!
17:11You've all been bewitched by this mysterious brat!
17:15I'm going back to tell Father and Felix!
17:19They'll make this right!
17:22What grievances do you have to report?
17:24Since we're all here, why don't you tell me yourself?
17:27Wow!
17:28Father and Felix look so cool making an entrance like that!
17:40Felix!
17:41You're finally here!
17:43They're ganging up on me with that little brat!
17:45You have to do something!
17:47Don't cry.
17:49You are my most precious sister.
17:51I will make sure justice is served for you.
17:54Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet.
17:57He's still under my spell.
17:58With him on my side, no one dared to touch me.
18:02Oh no!
18:03I remember now!
18:05Nerissa's poison arrows contain a mind control
18:08curse.
18:09In the book, that's how she manipulated Felix
18:13into entering the enemy camp alone
18:15to frame him as a spy!
18:17Help!
18:18The poison in that Felix isn't gone yet!
18:21Father!
18:22Alaric!
18:23Julian!
18:24Save him!
18:25He's being controlled by that witch again!
18:36Get off me!
18:39Oh my god!
18:41My brothers are way too cool!
18:43That seamless coordination was a perfect 10!
18:46Julian refining, Alaric assisting, and the Linux waking up!
18:51So badass!
18:55Alaric, bring Sarah to me.
18:57I want to hold the little one too.
19:00I almost forgot about this old geezer.
19:04Don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to punish Julian.
19:09In the book, Alaric just tried to speak up for Julian, and this old man banished them
19:13to the Black Domean Abyss for the royal hunt.
19:16He called it training, but it was a death sentence!
19:19They were swarmed by high-level beasts.
19:22Alaric crossed a leg, and Julian's manor veins were shattered protecting him.
19:27He became a total cripple.
19:29Father, may I hold Sarah as well?
19:32And then there's poor Felix.
19:34He was supposed to be the champion of the hunt, titled The God of War, and lead our armies
19:39to victory.
19:40But in the book, Nerissa made sure he never even made it back from the border.
19:45The next time he saw Father was on the battlefield as enemies.
19:49Such a tragic end-
19:50Enough!
19:51You're just ganging up on me!
19:53When my father finishes his meditation, he'll slaughter you all!
19:56Fine.
19:57Since you're so confident, we'll see you at the royal hunt!
19:59Let's see who kills who.
20:01Return to the palace!
20:05Yeah, mate.
20:09Don't touch me!
20:10Aren't you afraid I'll run over there right now and tell them exactly who you really are?
20:15Useless trash!
20:16Stay away from me!
20:17If it weren't for my grand plan, I'd rip your tongue out right now.
20:19How could you think that?
20:21I'm only using them to gather intelligence.
20:23Don't forget, we are allies for the hunt.
20:26You'd better mean that.
20:33Tomorrow is the royal hunt.
20:35All three of you will participate and fight for the honor of Valeria.
20:40This old man is so stubborn, he's a hopeless case.
20:43He knows it's a trap and he's still sending them.
20:46Naraza and Sebastian have already set a deadly trap in the mist forest.
20:50My three tall, handsome, rich brothers are walking straight to their deaths.
20:58I'll have secret guards watching Narissa.
21:01She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
21:03Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up?
21:05Looks like Narissa's little act is falling apart.
21:08As for Sarah, she cannot go.
21:10I will stay at the palace to protect her personally.
21:14Are you kidding me?
21:15I take it back!
21:17How can you leave me here with Narissa?
21:19She'll suck my soul dry while you're napping!
21:23Help!
21:24I want to go to the hunt with my brothers!
21:26Don't leave me in this death trap!
21:28Father, I think we should take Sarah with us.
21:33Exactly!
21:34She has Mother's Ring and the Eternal Guardian.
21:36In terms of defense, she's actually the safest one among us.
21:41Sarah is our lucky star.
21:43Who knows?
21:44Maybe she'll be the one protecting us.
21:46There's definitely a generation gap with the old man.
21:49My brothers are the best.
21:52Fine, fine.
21:54Have it your way.
21:55But the four of you must stay together.
21:57Do not let your guard down.
22:00Welcome to the annual royal hunt.
22:03Whoever captures the legendary sacred stag will be crowned this year's champion.
22:10Now, I declare, let the hunt begin!
22:22Narissa?
22:24What are you doing here?
22:27You three must have pitied me so you didn't wake me up.
22:30That's why I'm a bit late.
22:32Nonsense!
22:33Who authorized your release?
22:34You are not participating in this hunt.
22:36Return to the palace at once!
22:37Why?
22:38Why can a foundling baby go but I, your daughter, cannot?
22:42Father, you are being far too biased.
22:44This is a royal command!
22:48You old fool getting in my way.
22:50Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first!
22:53Oh no!
22:54She used dark magic to force a power boost so she could wipe out my brothers!
22:58She can't control the energy!
23:00She's about to strike Father!
23:02Look out, old man!
23:03Narissa!
23:04The forest is incredibly dangerous.
23:06Father is only concerned for your safety.
23:10My, my!
23:11If you brothers don't want Narissa, I certainly do.
23:15Narissa!
23:16Since your brothers don't cherish you, come with me instead.
23:19Fine!
23:20Since you're so eager to be the fool, take her with you.
23:22Brothers, let's move out.
23:24Sarah is losing her patience.
23:25That baby is a total jinx.
23:28Nothing but bad luck whenever she's around.
23:30Fine.
23:31I'll go without Sebastian for now and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
23:35Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian.
23:38Let's go.
23:46Boar at 50 meters to the left.
23:49Combat power, two stars.
23:51Juliet can handle it with a snap of his fingers.
23:54But do not touch that sweet-smelling grass straight ahead.
23:57It's a soul-eater spider trap.
23:59Narissa said it's specific for Felix because she knows he loves the scent of that herb.
24:04That was close.
24:06I almost fell for it again.
24:07Felix, what's wrong?
24:09Nothing.
24:10I just feel like the mist is getting thicker.
24:13Of course it's thick.
24:14Sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll.
24:17He's turning this forest into an inescapable labyrinth.
24:21Julian, do you have any treasures that can break through a labyrinth seal?
24:24It seems completely useless against a seal tainted with dark magic.
24:27Of course it won't work.
24:28The forest's guardian, the sacred stag, has been trapped by the wicked array they set up beforehand.
24:34With the stag trapped, the forest's purication is gone.
24:38If you guys don't find the stag and break the seal by midnight,
24:41every pure soul in this forest will become fuel for Narissa's dark magic.
24:45That includes me.
24:47She'll drain me dry.
24:48Help, help, help.
24:50Since we can't walk out of here, locate the stag directly.
24:53Don't be afraid, Sarah.
24:54Sarah, as long as we're here, we won't let anything happen to you.
24:59Wow, my brothers are the best.
25:01Come on, think.
25:03Where exactly is the sacred stag?
25:05Ah, I remember now.
25:07It's under that withered millennial oak tree.
25:10That's the heart of the forest and the center of the array.
25:14The stag is trapped in a dark magic seal called the Eternal Cage.
25:21The poor stag, those black chains are draining its life force.
25:26Brothers, look.
25:27There are four skulls around the array.
25:29Those are the anchor points.
25:31They must be destroyed at the same time.
25:35Four anchor points, but there are only three of us.
25:37There's me too.
25:39The sapphire necklace around my neck.
25:41The Eternal Guardian.
25:43Its power is the perfect counter for this evil stuff.
25:46Just throw it over.
25:47Listen to Sarah, this is our only shot.
25:53Julian, Felix, get ready.
25:56On three.
25:58One, two, three.
26:08You're useless.
26:09You couldn't even keep the labyrinth seal intact.
26:11And you promised they'd never return.
26:15What do you know?
26:17You think they've won just because they freed that stag?
26:20That was the trap within the trap.
26:22The true dark magic isn't in those skulls.
26:25It is inside the stag itself.
26:27As long as they get close to that beast, the curse triggers.
26:30Just watch.
26:31They'll all be dead within seconds.
26:39Stop, stop, Alaric.
26:41Don't go any closer.
26:42That stag is a time bomb.
26:44Nerysha planted a void curse in its heart.
26:47It's going to blow.
26:49Alaric?
26:50What is it?
26:51What do I do?
26:52It's too late.
26:53The curse has already set to Alaric.
27:02My God.
27:04My God.
27:18The sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own.
27:22It's a soul covenant.
27:23From now on, the power of this entire forest belongs to her.
27:27As long as she stands on this land, she is practically a goddess.
27:33Brothers!
27:38Sarah, is that you?
27:39Oh my God.
27:41I'm grown up.
27:42I can speak.
27:44Heaven has finally to its senses.
27:48Brothers.
27:50Sarah, you can speak.
27:53I can actually talk.
27:55Finally.
27:56All the things I've been screaming in my head, I can finally say them out loud.
28:01How can this be?
28:04Where is my power?
28:06Where is my dog magic?
28:08It seems the forest's spiritual energy has drained you dry.
28:19The sacred stag has bonded with my daughter.
28:22Father, the sacred stag has bonded its soul to Sarah.
28:25Volodia has won this year's hunt.
28:33Father!
28:34Father!
28:35Save me!
28:35Sebastian tricked me!
28:37He wants to kill me!
28:38Finally, this moment, after holding it in for so long, this time I am saying it out loud.
28:46This gentle, kind, at Prince Enorisi is in truth, a witch who has practiced dark magic for many years.
28:53Before this hunt, she forced her dark magic past its limit, hoping to wipe out my brothers in the forest.
28:59But the forest's pure energy turned against her, and now, every ounce of her power is gone.
29:06Felix poisoning, a Julian's framing, all those strange events in the palace, it was all your dying.
29:18So what if it was?
29:20All of this was supposed to be mine.
29:23Father's love, the princess's devotion, the fate of the kingdom, until that filthy thing from the wilderness appeared.
29:30She stole my destiny!
29:32She took everything that was supposed to be mine!
29:35I did not steal your destiny.
29:37You chose your own path of no return.
29:41If I cannot have anything, then you shall have nothing in you either!
29:47Sarah!
30:03Sarah!
30:07Sarah!
30:10Sarah!
30:11Sarah!
30:11Open your eyes!
30:12You vile witch!
30:16She's dead!
30:17She's dead!
30:18My destiny has returned to me!
30:23There's...
30:24There's still a heartbeat.
30:26Your Majesty!
30:28The little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic!
30:31She...
30:31She has fallen into a deep slumber!
30:34How can this be undone?
30:35The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force.
30:39It will not lift until that magic naturally fades, or unless some miracle occurs.
30:45Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess.
30:50Today you have wielded dark magic, poisoned the royal house, and struck down my own daughter.
30:54I hereby decree, you are stripped of your status as a ward of Valoria, and of every title bestowed upon
31:00you!
31:00From this day forth, you are banished from this kingdom, never to return!
31:05Father!
31:06One day you will regret this!
31:10Home.
31:11Let us go home.
31:17Little one, let me hear your voice one more time, please.
31:24Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her to undo the curse with her own hands!
31:27It's no use.
31:29Her magic is gone.
31:29She can do nothing now.
31:31From the day Father brought this little one home from the wilderness,
31:34every single day we heard her chattering in our minds.
31:38So loud, so annoying.
31:41And yet now...
31:43Hmm.
31:44Why is it so dark?
31:46Where is this?
31:47Sarah?
31:49I feel like I'm dreaming.
31:51But this dream feels so real.
31:54I can feel someone holding my hand.
31:57Brother, you heard that too.
31:59We heard it.
32:01It's Sarah.
32:02It's her voice.
32:05What is it?
32:07Has Sarah woken?
32:08Hmm.
32:09Do I smell hot milk?
32:11Is that Father?
32:12Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
32:16You're not getting younger.
32:18You need your rest.
32:20Sarah.
32:22My Sarah.
32:23You're still here.
32:28Sarah.
32:28Sarah, I caught you a spirit squirrel from the holy mountains of the north.
32:32They say its call brings joy to whoever hears it.
32:35It's so noisy.
32:37Who's squeaking right in my ear?
32:39Out, out, out!
32:41You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
32:44Brother, you haven't slept in three days.
32:47It's fine.
32:48Why am I asleep?
32:50I remember exposing Neressa.
32:53And then she lunged at me.
32:55No, wait.
32:56Why did I grow to seven years old?
32:59I rushed it.
33:01In the original story, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later.
33:06Only then driven to her dead end.
33:09I exposed her too early.
33:11She still had her last breath of magic when I did.
33:14It was not supposed to happen this way.
33:16I sped up everyone's bait.
33:18I bent the entire story by force.
33:22And now it's bending back on me.
33:26Then, how do I wake up?
33:28Let the story return to its rightful course.
33:33In the original story, Nerissa does not die so easily.
33:36She flees to Sebastian's kingdom, claims to have gained the gift of prophecy, and ignites war between the two kingdoms.
33:42Then she is outwitted, exposed, discarded, and meets a wretched end.
33:46That is her true ending in the book.
33:48I have to let the story follow that thread.
33:51Only when Neressa walks her original fate to the end will I have any chance of waking.
33:56But I am asleep now.
33:59I can do nothing.
34:01How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
34:05You heard her?
34:07Yes.
34:08Let the original plot unfold as it should.
34:10Now this is interesting.
34:12My foolish little girl.
34:14You think father and your brothers would ever let you bear this alone?
34:18Our spies report that Nerissa has slipped into the Vervemont Palace alone and sought audience with Sebastian.
34:24Useless!
34:25Her magic is gone!
34:27Why didn't our men intercept her on the road?
34:29Felix, did you forget what Sarah said?
34:31The story must return to its rightful course.
34:34Nerissa fleeing to Sebastian was always part of the original plot.
34:37So we...
34:37Help her?
34:38Help her perform this play to its very last act.
34:41Let the wretched ending the original book wrote for her fall upon her word for word.
34:47Well, well.
34:49If it isn't the cast-out Princess of Valeria, what brings you here?
34:53Your Highness, I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
34:59You?
35:00You?
35:00A powerless wretch?
35:01With what do you plan to help me?
35:04My dark magic may be gone, but in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
35:11What thing?
35:12The gift of prophecy.
35:14I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
35:18Words alone prove nothing.
35:20If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
35:25Tell me how, Your Highness.
35:26I will do anything.
35:28I may have lost my magic, but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered.
35:34That is enough.
35:39In the original story, Narissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
35:45Sebastian.
35:51Sarah said there is a spy of Narissa's inside the palace, feeding intelligence to Sebastian.
35:56As I expected.
35:58A stable boy in the palace named Marcus.
36:01Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed.
36:05Each time by a different route at a different hour.
36:09Seize him.
36:09Question him under whatever measure necessary.
36:13Father, no.
36:15He is our finest tool for sending Narissa to her doom.
36:20We shall feed Narissa exactly the intelligence she craves.
36:26Your Highness.
36:27This woman's origins are dubious.
36:30Will you really entrust military secrets to her prophecies?
36:34I want to see for myself
36:37whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny.
36:40Speak.
36:41Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month.
36:45My ministers will record every word.
36:47In seven days, Valeria will dispatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier,
36:53with Prince Julian personally overseeing the supplies.
36:57In ten days, the northern garrison rotates,
37:00and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
37:03In other words,
37:05on the 8th of next month,
37:07Valeria's eastern frontier will be an empty city,
37:10defended only by leaderless reserves.
37:13Such precision.
37:14And how am I to verify this?
37:16Send your Highness' most trusted spy into Valeria to verify.
37:20I stake my own head on the truth of it.
37:22And so the sleeping princess waited and waited for a thousand years.
37:29Narissa attended Sebastian's war council today.
37:34She predicts our army's movements.
37:36In the original story,
37:38Sebastian sends a spy to Valeria to verify.
37:40This is the critical moment for our false intelligence.
37:44If the spy sees what Narissa said,
37:46word for word,
37:47Sebastian will believe her completely.
37:49But how would father and my brothers
37:51ever think this far ahead?
37:53Your Highness,
37:55every word Princess Narissa spake
37:57is true.
38:02Excellent.
38:03What a goddess of prophecy.
38:04Issue my command.
38:06In 10 days,
38:06our army marches.
38:07We crush Valeria's eastern frontier
38:09in a single strike.
38:16Help me seize Valeria,
38:18and I shall make you my queen.
38:20Foolish man.
38:22Once I am your queen and bear your son,
38:25all of Viramund will also be mine.
38:34Felix,
38:35the enemy is too strong.
38:37We are not prepared.
38:38Per the plan,
38:39retreat.
38:40Abandon the city
38:41and fall back to the second line of defense.
38:53A glorious first victory,
38:55Your Highness.
38:57Let me toast you.
38:59You are far more useful
39:00than I expected.
39:01Your Highness,
39:02I have seen another vision
39:04in three days.
39:06Only Prince Alaric
39:08will hold Valeria's
39:09second line of defense.
39:11Prince Julian
39:12will have already retreated
39:13to the capital.
39:14If Your Highness
39:15leads the raid in person,
39:17Prince Alaric
39:18can be captured
39:19in a single strike.
39:22Alaric,
39:23that hordy,
39:24cold-faced
39:25heir of Valeria.
39:26I shall have him
39:27groveling at my feet.
39:31Did Sarah send you
39:33to protect me as well?
39:38Alaric,
39:39heir of Valeria.
39:40Surprised, are you?
39:42Tonight I come
39:43for your head!
39:52Welcome.
40:02An empty city,
40:03just as she said.
40:05Neressa,
40:05this time I shall
40:06reward you handsomely.
40:13From this day forth,
40:15Valeria's
40:16second defense line
40:17also belongs
40:19to me!
40:22The proud heir
40:23of Valeria
40:24kneeling at my feet.
40:25How does it feel?
40:27You should not
40:27have come yourself.
40:29I came precisely
40:30because I wanted to.
40:43impossible.
40:44The intelligence
40:45clearly stated
40:45Valeria's main force
40:46was still in the capital.
40:49Princess,
40:50Valeria's main army
40:51is closing in
40:51from west,
40:52south,
40:52and north.
40:53Our line of retreat
40:54has been cut.
40:57My intelligence
41:00could not be wrong.
41:01You set me up!
41:05Not me.
41:06It was my little sister
41:07who still lies sleeping.
41:27Father,
41:29Alaric,
41:30we did it.
41:32Yes,
41:33my Sarah,
41:34we did it.
41:43You lying witch!
41:46You have doomed
41:47his highness!
41:53Impossible!
41:54How can this be?
41:59Speak.
42:00The child in your
42:02Bemi,
42:02is it mine?
42:04Your highness,
42:05of course it is yours.
42:11Your highness,
42:13this young woman
42:14is not with child at all.
42:17You wretched horde!
42:19You dared perceive me!
42:21Calm yourself,
42:22your highness.
42:23There is yet one more
42:24thing you do not know.
42:25Speak!
42:27This princess Nerissa
42:28is no true
42:29Valeria princess.
42:31She is an orphan
42:32our father took in
42:33twenty years ago
42:34from the chaos of war.
42:37What?
42:38A ward?
42:40I, Sebastian,
42:41lost an army
42:42and disgraced my crown
42:43for a swindling woman
42:46without a drop
42:48of royal blood.
42:49No!
42:50Let me end her
42:52with my own hands!
42:53Stop!
42:54Nerissa
42:55is a fugitive
42:56of Valeria.
42:58Her judgment
42:59is not
43:00yours to deliver!
43:09Sebastian,
43:10crown prince of
43:11Viramont,
43:12you initiated
43:12unprovoked war
43:13and invaded Valeria,
43:15bringing suffering
43:16upon the people
43:16of both lands.
43:18By the treaty
43:19between our two kingdoms,
43:20how shall you be judged?
43:22Your majesty of Valeria,
43:23our king will cede
43:25six eastern border cities
43:27in reparution
43:28plus
43:28ten thousand gold coins
43:31annually for twenty years,
43:33begging only for the life
43:35of our crown prince!
43:37So be it.
43:38Prince Sebastian
43:39will remain in Valeria
43:40as a hostage
43:41for two years
43:42to oversee the reparations.
43:44He may return home
43:45only after that term
43:46is fulfilled.
43:47Nerissa,
43:48you were my ward.
43:49I treated you
43:50as my own daughter
43:51and yet
43:51you practiced
43:52the dark arts,
43:53poisoned my youngest son,
43:54framed my second,
43:55conspired against
43:56the royal house,
43:57committed high treason
43:58and struck
43:59down my own daughter!
44:01Father,
44:02do you still not see?
44:04I was meant to be
44:05your only daughter,
44:06the only princess
44:07of Valeria!
44:08Your son's devotion,
44:10your tender love,
44:10the fate of this kingdom,
44:12all of it
44:12was meant to be mine!
44:17Until that filthy thing
44:18from the Underless
44:19disappeared!
44:20She stole my place!
44:22She took the destiny
44:22that was supposed
44:23to be mine!
44:25From the day
44:26you first touched
44:27dark magic,
44:28you ceased
44:28to be my daughter.
44:30By the laws of Valeria,
44:32one who wields
44:33dark magic
44:33and conspires
44:34against the crown
44:35shall be stripped
44:36of all titles,
44:37exiled to the
44:38frozen islands,
44:39never to return!
44:40No!
44:41Not the frozen islands!
44:43All of this
44:43was supposed
44:44to be mine!
44:45All of this
44:46was supposed
44:46to be mine!
44:47Was supposed
44:48to be mine!
44:59your highness,
45:00tomorrow is
45:01the little princess's
45:02coronation.
45:03His majesty
45:04has decreed
45:04tonight
45:05no one
45:06is to keep vigil.
45:07He will sit
45:07with her alone.
45:09Very well.
45:14Little one,
45:15tomorrow is
45:16your coronation.
45:16these past few years
45:17father has aged
45:19greatly.
45:19Coronation?
45:21Me?
45:22I've slept
45:23so long.
45:25The story
45:25should have
45:26returned to
45:27its course
45:27long ago.
45:28Why have I not
45:29woken?
45:30What is still
45:31missing?
45:32What is missing?
45:35My Sarah,
45:36tomorrow is
45:37your coronation.
45:38This crown
45:39was worn
45:40by your mother
45:40on the day
45:41of her own
45:41coronation.
45:42Her greatest
45:43regret,
45:44before she
45:45passed,
45:45was never
45:46seeing her
45:46own daughter
45:47wear it.
45:48Sarah,
45:49you have slept
45:50for so long.
45:51These past years,
45:53your father
45:53and your three
45:54brothers have
45:54done everything
45:55imaginable.
45:56Neressa is
45:57exiled to the
45:57frozen isles.
45:59Sebastian has
45:59paid his price
46:00and returned home.
46:01Valoria has
46:02never been
46:02stronger.
46:03And yet,
46:05there remains
46:06a hollow place
46:07in my heart.
46:09Father does
46:10not lack
46:10a daughter.
46:12Father lacks
46:13you.
46:14It matters
46:15not how the
46:15crown sits
46:16upon you.
46:17If only you
46:18would wake,
46:18if only you
46:19would call me
46:20father one
46:21more time,
46:21I would
46:22surrender all
46:23the rest.
46:33father.
46:36Sarah,
46:37my Sarah.
46:39Father,
46:40Sarah has
46:41come home.
46:44I am not
46:45the heroine
46:45of this story.
46:46I am only
46:47a daughter,
46:48lifted from
46:49the wilderness
46:49by her father's
46:50hands.
46:51This time,
46:52I will simply
46:53be that daughter.
46:59Father didn't
47:00return all night.
47:01I thought
47:01something had
47:02happened.
47:02Good morning,
47:04Felix.
47:05Why does
47:05Felix look at
47:06me like he's
47:07seen a ghost?
47:07It's not as
47:08if I actually
47:09died.
47:12Sarah,
47:12you're awake!
47:13You're awake!
47:15Felix,
47:16my milk is
47:17going to spill.
47:19Sarah.
47:21Sarah.
47:22Sarah.
47:22Brother,
47:23I've waited
47:23for you for
47:24so long.
47:25Goodness,
47:26so much
47:26commotion
47:26this early
47:27in the morning,
47:27my eyeliner
47:28is going
47:28to run.
47:29Julian,
47:30when have
47:30you ever
47:31worn eyeliner?
47:31Sarah.
47:32Sarah,
47:33the coronation,
47:34do you wish
47:34for it to
47:34proceed as
47:35scheduled?
47:35Yes.
47:36Sarah is
47:37father's daughter.
47:38Sarah is
47:39the princess
47:39of Valeria.
47:40From today
47:41onward,
47:42Sarah will
47:42truly bear
47:43this name.
47:44I have
47:45never asked
47:45you,
47:46Sarah.
47:47Do you
47:48truly wish
47:48to call me
47:49father?
47:50Yes.
47:52It was
47:53you who
47:54lifted Sarah
47:54from the
47:55wilderness.
47:55You have
47:56given Sarah
47:56everything.
47:58father,
47:59Sarah once
48:00came from
48:01a place
48:01far,
48:02far away.
48:03But from
48:03the moment
48:04I woke,
48:05I have
48:05known my
48:06true home
48:07is here.
48:08Where you
48:08came from,
48:09I never
48:09cared.
48:10I only
48:11cared whether
48:12you would
48:12stay.
48:21my dearest
48:22little princess,
48:23will you
48:24allow your
48:24brother Felix
48:25the honor of
48:25escorting you
48:26in?
48:43May the
48:44glory of
48:45Princess
48:45Seraphina
48:46of Valeria
48:46endure forever.
48:48May my
48:49little sister
48:49know nothing
48:50but joy
48:50all her
48:51days.
48:52May our
48:53Sarah be
48:53cherished by
48:54the whole
48:54world,
48:55always.
48:56From this
48:57day forth,
48:58you are
48:58Princess
48:58Seraphina
48:59of Valeria,
49:00bearer of
49:01the crown's
49:01honor of
49:02our glory,
49:02of every
49:03pure soul
49:04in this
49:04land.
49:06People
49:07of Valeria,
49:08welcome
49:08your
49:08princess.
49:14I once
49:15believed I
49:16was the
49:16one who
49:17chose my
49:17destiny.
49:18Then destiny
49:19pushed me
49:19into a
49:20place I
49:20never knew,
49:21turning me
49:22into a
49:22baby abandoned
49:23in the
49:23wilderness,
49:24with nothing
49:25but tears.
49:26I thought I
49:27would change
49:27everything,
49:28but the
49:28truth is,
49:29my father
49:30in this
49:30place,
49:31and my
49:31three
49:32brothers,
49:32with their
49:33love,
49:33piece by
49:34piece,
49:35made me
49:35into the
49:36true
49:36Seraphina.
49:37This
49:37time I
49:38do not
49:38choose my
49:39destiny.
49:40I
49:40accept it,
49:41because what
49:42destiny
49:43gave me
49:43is the
49:44most
49:44precious
49:45family in
49:46this
49:46world.
