Short filmTranscript
00:02Where am I?
00:05What happened?
00:06I 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?
00:45No!
00:46Help!
00:47I don't want to die!
00:52Father, there is a child.
00:54Alarak, bring the child to me.
00:56Alarak?
00:57Wait.
00:58That name sounds familiar.
01:00Are 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, perfect 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.
01:41I'll raise her in the palace.
01:44Don't take me!
01:46Your whole family!
01:48I'm sure there's ghosts!
01:53Alarak, I have state affairs to attend to.
01:56Watch over the infant for now.
01:57I'll have the maids prepare a separate room for her.
02:02Don't go, old man!
02:04Did she just call father an old man?
02:10Alarak?
02:12What is that in your arms?
02:14Alarak?
02:14No way!
02:15You've gotta be kidding me!
02:17I literally just got here!
02:19And there she is!
02:21The heroine, Neressa!
02:23Classic fairy tale face.
02:26However, total lie.
02:28That's how she fools everyone.
02:30Alarak?
02:31What 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.
02:39Perfect for my dark magic.
02:43Drain her.
02:44And I'm unstoppable.
02:46Alarak, since father is busy, why not let me watch her?
02:50I promise to cherish her like my own flesh and blood.
02:54Help!
02:55You idiot!
02:56She's going to eat me!
02:57My soul is literally screaming!
03:01Stop!
03:02I can't breathe!
03:05Someone help me!
03:12Nerissa!
03:13What did you do?
03:16I...
03:16I don't know!
03:17Alarak!
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!
03:25You were literally trying to suck the life out of me, and 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.
03:42Alarak, I think you owe Nerissa to 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.
03:58I'm not used to holding a baby.
04:00I didn't mean to hurt her.
04:02Hey, don't be upset at Nerissa.
04:04Got this for you on my trip.
04:05Best rouge.
04:06Ugh!
04:06Again!
04:07Cheap junk.
04:08Like I care.
04:10So annoying.
04:11Ugh, Julian is totally blinded.
04:13Every 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.
04:21She literally fools you.
04:23No wonder you end up a beggar in the book.
04:25You 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.
04:40The only heirloom your mom left is in there.
04:45Oh, wait.
04:46I just remembered.
04:47Heh.
04:48I grabbed the wrong one.
04:49Aunt Nerissa, this rouge isn't for you.
04:50It's actually for the head maid.
04:52What?
04:53But-
04:53Give it back.
04:54I'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.
05:13Why do you have my mother's ruby ring?
05:16I-I have no idea.
05:17It just appeared on my desk.
05:20Julian, I was on my way to give it back to father.
05:23Wow, 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?
05:41Mother's ruby ring.
05:45It chose her.
05:47Fine.
05:48Then as a welcome gift.
05:50It's hers now.
05:52Really?
05:53Julian, you're the best!
05:56Since you're being so generous, I'll make sure you become the richest man alive.
06:01No 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.
06:15This 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,
06:27and only have eyes for my mother's heirloom?
06:30Is this really what you think of me?
06:32Forget it, Julian.
06:34You're wasting your breath.
06:36She'll never admit it, no matter how much you press her.
06:39Forget 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?
06:55Thomas!
06:56Thomas?
07:03Thomas!
07:06Thomas!
07:08Father!
07:09Where is Felix?
07:10Where's my brother?
07:14Father! Alaric! I just saw Felix by the canyon. It looked like he was retreating that way.
07:19Move! Let's find him!
07:21Don't listen to her! It's the other way! She's lying so you won't find him and Felix will be kidnapped
07:29by the spies!
07:30If you don't save him, Father, you'll think he abandoned his post.
07:35You'll lose all trust in him and it ends with the brothers killing each other.
07:40Poor Felix!
07:42Perfect. This 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. Felix might be over there.
07:53In that case, split up! Search both ways!
08:02To the left! Hurry! Felix is behind that cave! He's barely holding on!
08:09Hang on, Felix!
08:16Felix! Felix!
08:18We made it just in time. Don't worry, brother. I am here to save you.
08:23I'm so sorry, Father Alaric. I was so panicked on the battlefield that I got confused. I actually meant to
08:30point in this direction too.
08:32That's enough! We need to treat Alaric. Just get out!
08:49Father, there are spies in the border guard. Our secret passage. The enemy found it.
08:54I know. Just focus on recovering. I'll handle the rest.
08:58Thank God! In the book, the king didn't trust Felix and refused to heal him. He was even going to
09:04exile him.
09:05Felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy, but he was framed as a spy and...
09:10Father executed him with his own hands on the battlefield. He died screaming his innocence.
09:15Am I actually hearing this baby's thoughts? How can she predict the future?
09:21Father, who is this baby?
09:23I've decided to formally adopt her. From this day on, she is Princess Sarah of Valeria.
09:27What about... Nerissa? She hasn't even been officially titled yet.
09:31Oh my God! Felix, did you lose your brain on the battlefield?
09:34You're still worried about that wicked woman. You were hit by a poison arrow, remember?
09:39She's the one who brewed that poison. She used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions.
09:44Father, was I poisoned?
09:47Don't worry. I will get to the bottom of this.
09:54Father is actually adapting that grit, giving her a royal title.
09:58I'm the only princess in this palace.
10:00Ever since that baby arrived, nothing has gone right.
10:02I didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence.
10:06If I can't have her soul, I'll kill her.
10:08What are you doing here eavesdropping?
10:10Julian, I was just so worried about Felix.
10:13Worried? I certainly didn't see any sign of that.
10:16Is it because I'm too clumsy? Do you all love the new baby now and don't care about me anymore?
10:21Unbelievable. Inviting a baby for attention? I've never seen anyone so shameless.
10:27Enough with the drama. We're taking Sarah to the royal auction. Get out of the way.
10:30The auction? I want to go too!
10:32We're going to buy a welcome print for Sarah. Why are you coming?
10:35You always used to take me with you.
10:37Follow us if you must.
10:38Fine by me. That's where Nerissa finds the sapphire necklace.
10:42It has a shield that can block a lethal blow in a crisis.
10:46Father's final strike is here because of that necklace.
10:49I want it!
10:50Brothers, you better buy it for me or I'll cry my eyes out!
10:55Wow! I want that and that too!
10:58Being a princess is amazing!
11:00All these tiny treasures should be mine!
11:02Distinguished guests, next up is the pure snow lotus from the frozen lands.
11:09It contains the purest energy, perfect for crafting holy elixirs.
11:15Starting at 500 gold coins!
11:18The pure snow lotus?
11:19This is exactly what I need to replace the ruby for my potion.
11:23Alaric, I really want that. Could you get it for me?
11:27Fine.
11:29I knew it. This moron is still no match for my mind control spell.
11:355,000 gold coins.
11:37Sold!
11:37Congratulations to the crown prince on securing this treasure.
11:40Thank you, Alaric. I knew you cared about me the most.
11:42Don't mention it.
11:44Felix needs the pure energy of this lotus for his recovery.
11:47It's for him.
11:48Ha! Alaric is finally wising up.
11:51Nerissa's mind control doesn't seem to work anymore.
11:53Where is that sapphire necklace Sarah mentioned?
11:55Could the information be wrong?
11:57Excuse me, is this how a major auction house treats the Vilonia royals?
12:01Peddling these common trinkles to us?
12:04My apologies, Prince Julian.
12:06We did just receive a true treasure today.
12:08It wasn't in the catalogue yet.
12:09Don't make us wait. Bring it out now.
12:11If our Sarah likes it, I don't care who bids, I'll pay ten times their price.
12:14What? Spending that much on a baby who knows nothing?
12:17Julian, have you lost your mind?
12:20Julian, so you're using the National Treasury to entertain a baby?
12:24I suppose your kingdom is nearing its end.
12:26Your understanding of wealth clearly differs from mine.
12:30What you see as a national fortune, I see as a single day's profit.
12:33That's it! The Eternal Guardian!
12:36With this, no wicked curse or dark magic can ever touch me.
12:41Sarah definitely wants it.
12:42That's fine!
12:43My instincts are screaming that treasure was meant for me!
12:46There it is.
12:47No matter the cost, that necklace must never fall into Nerissa's hands.
12:54Distinguished guests, this is the Eternal Guardian starting bid 10,000 gold coins!
13:0110,000 gold coins!
13:04Alaric, Julian, why aren't you bidding?
13:07This treasure is one of a kind.
13:08It would be a tragedy to lose it.
13:11Sister, how did you know I liked it?
13:13Since you're so thoughtful, why don't you buy it for me?
13:17Princess Nerissa of Valeria bids 50,000 gold coins!
13:22It's not me! I don't have the money! I can't afford this!
13:25These brothers and father have showered you with wealth for years, and you have the nerve to say you have
13:29no money?
13:30Figures.
13:31She's been using every pure energy treasure from her vile potions.
13:35Alaric, Julian is being so mean to me.
13:38100,000.
13:40I knew it. He's the easiest to manipulate. One fake tear and he'll hand over the necklace.
13:46I can see Sarah is very fond of this treasure. Since neither of you can afford it, I'll buy it
13:51for Sarah as a welcome gift.
13:53Enough! You two are disgusting ganging up on poor, innocent Nerissa.
13:58Fine. If you two won't appreciate her, I will take this necklace for her.
14:05200,000!
14:08I knew that Prince Sebastian looked familiar. It's definitely him!
14:13Nerissa's already in league with him!
14:14They're just shurs pushing the price up!
14:17In the book, Julian overed ten times the value just to save face!
14:20And half that money went straight into Sebastian's pocket!
14:24Well, Prince Sebastian, I wonder exactly how much you're willing to pay to play the hero for my sister.
14:29His limit is one million gold coins. He'll stop right there and wait for Julian to take the bait.
14:35990,000 gold coins.
14:37Idiots. Always doubling the bid. One more raise from Sebastian and Julian will definitely hit two million.
14:44Then both the treasure and the money will be mine.
14:46One million. Anyone else?
14:50One million gold coins going once. Twice.
14:53One million sold!
14:56Congratulations to Prince Sebastian on winning the Eternal Guardian!
14:59Wait! Why aren't you bidding?
15:01Sold! Where am I supposed to get that much money?
15:04Ha ha! Talk about a backfire!
15:06Let's see how you two split the loot now!
15:12Nerissa!
15:13You told me Julian was a rich fool who would drain the treasury for you!
15:16Why isn't he bidding?
15:17Have you lost your mind? You can't afford it, so you're throwing dirt on me?
15:21I have no idea what you're talking about!
15:23Oh wow! Look at them tear each other apart!
15:27Sebastian, you're toast!
15:30Nerissa treats men like disposable rags!
15:33She's done with you!
15:34Prince Sebastian, by the rules, if you refuse to pay, you must pay a 50% penalty immediately,
15:43or Vyrebut Kingdom will be blacklisted forever!
15:46Blacklist me. How dare you?
15:49My father is the Grand Archmude of the Sacred Domain!
15:52Try it, and I'll tear this auction house down stone by stone!
15:58Guards! Get in here!
16:01Surround this dishonest auction house!
16:04Smash everything!
16:05Kill anyone who stands in my way!
16:10Try me.
16:12Brothers, watch out!
16:14He's got a forbidden scroll hidden in his boot!
16:16He's planning to trigger a lava blurs to burn everyone alive and fake it as an accident!
16:29In the original story, it's exactly this auction that Ruil's father's trust in at Julian.
16:34That's how at Julian started his downward spiral into ruin.
16:38Julian, don't let Nerissa and Sebastian destroy you.
16:41This entire mess is a trap they set up together.
16:45I planned to use Julian for a bit later, but you forced me.
16:50Today, that sapphire necklace must be mine.
17:02Sebastian, did you forget this auction house is my property?
17:06You are declaring open war on the Kingdom of Valeria!
17:18Wow! Julian is amazing!
17:21He's a total beast!
17:23He looks so cool!
17:24I knew Julian was a genius in both business and magic!
17:28Did you hear that?
17:29Sarah definitely likes me more.
17:36Since Prince can't afford it, I'm taking this necklace.
17:41This is my official gift to Sarah.
17:44No!
17:45That's mine!
17:49That's mine!
17:51Oh my god, is Nerissa actually having a meltdown right now?
17:55And her dark magic isn't even finished yet.
17:58Showing her true face now would be a few mistakes.
18:02She still needs the Divine Stagger's antlers from the upcoming royal hunt.
18:06Julian, Alaric only cares about the baby now.
18:10You can't be biased against me too, can you?
18:12You used to cherish me the most.
18:13Look at you.
18:14Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewellery,
18:17all paid for by me, now that you mention it.
18:19I need to get Sarah a gift.
18:21I'm buying out every single item from today's auction.
18:25Send it all to the palace as gifts to Sarah.
18:28Wow!
18:29Julian is the best!
18:30He's literally a walking goldmine!
18:32He's so rich and powerful!
18:35I love this CEO vibe!
18:37Julian is my absolute favorite!
18:41You've all been bewitched by this mysterious brat!
18:45I'm going back to tell Father and Felix!
18:48They'll make this right!
18:52What grievances do you have to report?
18:54Since we're all here, why don't you tell me yourself?
18:57Wow!
18:58Father and Felix look so cool making an entrance like that!
19:10Felix!
19:11You're finally here!
19:13They're ganging up on me with that little brat!
19:15You have to do something!
19:17Don't cry.
19:19You are my most precious sister.
19:21I will make sure justice is served for you.
19:24Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet.
19:27He's still under my spell.
19:28With him on my side, no one dared to touch me.
19:31Oh no!
19:33I remember now!
19:35Nerissa's poison arrows contain a mind control curse.
19:39In the book, that's how she manipulated Felix into entering the enemy camp alone to frame him as a spy!
19:47Help!
19:48The poison in Aunt Felix isn't gone yet!
19:51Father!
19:52Alaric!
19:53Julian!
19:54Save him!
19:55He's being controlled by that witch again!
20:06Get off me!
20:09Oh my god!
20:11My brothers are way too cool!
20:13That seamless coordination was a perfect ten!
20:16Julian refining, Alaric assisting, and Militix waking up?
20:21So badass!
20:24Alaric, bring Sarah to me.
20:26I want to hold the little one too.
20:30I almost forgot about this old geezer.
20:34Don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to punish Julian.
20:39In the book, Alaric just tried to speak up for Julian,
20:42and this old man banished them to the Black Dormian Abyss for the royal hunt.
20:46He called it training, but it was a death sentence!
20:49They were swarmed by high-level beasts.
20:52Alaric lost a leg, and Julian's manor veins were shattered protecting him.
20:57He became a total cripple.
20:59Father, may I hold Sarah as well?
21:02And then there's poor Felix.
21:04He was supposed to be the champion of the hunt, titled The God of War, and lead our armies to
21:09victory.
21:10But in the book, Nerissa made sure he never even made it back from the border.
21:15The next time he saw father was on the battlefield as enemies.
21:19Such a tragic end-
21:20Enough!
21:21You're just ganging up on me!
21:23When my father finishes his meditation, he'll slaughter you all!
21:26Fine.
21:27Since you're so confident, we'll see you at the royal hunt!
21:29Let's see who kills whom.
21:31Return to the palace!
21:39Don't touch me!
21:40Aren't you afraid I'll run over there right now and tell them exactly who you really are?
21:45Useless trash!
21:46Stay away from me!
21:47If it weren't for my grand plan, I'd rip your tongue out right now!
21:49How could you think that?
21:50I'm only using them to gather intelligence.
21:53Don't forget, we are allies for the hunt.
21:56You'd better mean that.
22:02Tomorrow is the royal hunt.
22:05All three of you will participate and fight for the honor of Valerian.
22:10This old man is so stubborn, he's a hopeless case.
22:13He knows it's a trap, and he's still sending them!
22:16Neraza and Sebastian have already set a deadly trap in the mist forest.
22:20My three tall, handsome, rich brothers are walking straight to their deaths.
22:28I'll have secret guards watching Nerissa.
22:30She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
22:33Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up?
22:35Looks like Nerissa's little act is falling apart.
22:39As for Sarah, she cannot go.
22:40I will stay at the palace to protect her personally.
22:43Are you kidding me?
22:45I take it back!
22:47How can you leave me here with Nerissa?
22:49She'll suck my soul dry while you're napping!
22:53Help!
22:53I want to go to the hunt with my brothers!
22:56Don't leave me in this death trap!
22:58Father, I think we should take Sarah with us.
23:03Exactly.
23:04She has Mother's Ring and the Eternal Guardian.
23:06In terms of defense, she's actually the safest one among us.
23:11Sarah is our lucky star.
23:13Who knows?
23:14Maybe she'll be the one protecting us.
23:16There's definitely a generation gap with the old man.
23:19My brothers are the best.
23:22Fine, fine.
23:24Have it your way.
23:25But the four of you must stay together.
23:27Do not let your guard down.
23:30Welcome to the annual royal hunt.
23:33Whoever captures the legendary sacred stag
23:36will be crowned this year's champion.
23:40Now, I declare, let the hunt begin!
23:52Nerissa?
23:54What are you doing here?
23:57You three must have pitied me so you didn't wake me up.
24:00That's why I'm a bit late.
24:02Nonsense!
24:03Who authorized your release?
24:04You are not participating in this hunt.
24:06Return to the palace at once!
24:07Why?
24:08Why can a foundling baby go, but I, your daughter, cannot?
24:12Father, you are being far too biased.
24:14This is a royal command.
24:18You old fool getting in my way.
24:20Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first!
24:23Oh no!
24:24She used dark magic to force a power boost
24:26so she could wipe out my brothers!
24:28She can't control the energy!
24:30She's about to strike father!
24:32Look out, old man!
24:33Nerissa!
24:34The forest is incredibly dangerous.
24:37Father is only concerned for your safety.
24:40My, my!
24:41If you brothers don't want Nerissa, I certainly do.
24:45Nerissa, since your brothers don't cherish you,
24:47come with me instead.
24:49Fine!
24:50Since you're so eager to be the fool, take her with you.
24:52Brothers, let's move out.
24:54Sarah is losing her patience.
24:55That baby is a total jinx.
24:58Nothing but bad luck whenever she's around.
25:00Fine.
25:01I'll go without Sebastian for now
25:03and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
25:05Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian.
25:07Let's go.
25:17Bore at 50 meters to the left.
25:19Combat power, two stars.
25:21Juliet can handle it with a snap of his fingers.
25:24But do not touch that sweet-smelling grass straight ahead.
25:27It's a soul-eater spider trap.
25:29Nerissa said it's specific for Felix
25:31because she knows he loves the scent of that herb.
25:34That was close.
25:36I almost fell for it again.
25:37Felix, what's wrong?
25:39Nothing.
25:40I just feel like the mist is getting thicker.
25:43Of course it's thick.
25:44Sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll.
25:47He's turning this forest into an inescapable labyrinth.
25:50Julian, do you have any treasures
25:52that can break through a labyrinth seal?
25:54It seems completely useless
25:55against a seal tainted with dark magic.
25:57Of course it won't work.
25:59The forest's guardian, the sacred stag,
26:01has been trapped by the wicked array
26:02they set up beforehand.
26:04With the stag trapped,
26:06the forest's purication is gone.
26:08If you guys don't find the stag
26:09and break the seal by midnight,
26:11every pure soul in this forest
26:13will become fuel for Nerissa's dark magic.
26:15That includes me.
26:17She'll drain me dry.
26:18Help, help, help.
26:20Since we can't walk out of here,
26:22locate the stag directly.
26:23Don't be afraid, Sarah.
26:25As long as we're here,
26:26we won't let anything happen to you.
26:29Whoa, my brothers are the best.
26:31Come on, think.
26:33Where exactly is the sacred stag?
26:35Ah, I remember now.
26:38It's under that withered millennial oak tree.
26:41That's the heart of the forest
26:42and the center of the array.
26:44The stag is trapped in a dark magic seal
26:47called the Eternal Cage.
26:51The poor stag.
26:53Those black chains are draining its life force.
26:56Brothers, look.
26:57There are four skulls around the array.
26:59Those are the anchor points.
27:01They must be destroyed at the same time.
27:05Four anchor points,
27:06but there are only three of us.
27:07There's me too.
27:09The sapphire necklace around my neck.
27:11The Eternal Guardian.
27:13Its power is the perfect counter
27:14for this evil scuff.
27:16Just throw it over.
27:17Listen to Sarah.
27:18This is our only shot.
27:23Julian, Felix, get ready.
27:25On three.
27:28One, two, three.
27:38You're useless.
27:39You couldn't even keep the labyrinth seal intact.
27:41And you promised they'd never return.
27:45What do you know?
27:47You think they've won
27:48just because they freed that stag?
27:50That was the trap within the trap.
27:52The true dark magic isn't in those skulls.
27:55It is inside the stag itself.
27:57As long as they get close to that beast,
27:59the curse triggers.
28:00Just watch.
28:02They'll all be dead within seconds.
28:09Stop, stop.
28:10Alaric, don't go any closer.
28:12That stag is a time bomb.
28:14Nerysha planted a void curse in its heart.
28:17It's going to blow.
28:19Alaric?
28:20What is it?
28:21What do I do?
28:22It's too late.
28:23The curse has already set to Alaric.
28:32My God.
28:34My God.
28:48The sacred stag of this forest
28:50has submitted to her on its own.
28:51It's a soul covenant.
28:53From now on,
28:55the power of this entire forest
28:56belongs to her.
28:57As long as she stands on this land,
28:59she is practically a goddess.
29:03Brothers!
29:08Sarah, is that you?
29:09Oh my God.
29:11I'm grown up.
29:12I can speak.
29:14Heaven has finally to its senses.
29:18Brothers.
29:20Sarah, you can speak.
29:23I can actually talk.
29:25Finally.
29:26All the things I've been screaming in my head,
29:28I can finally say them out loud.
29:30Yes!
29:31How can this be?
29:34Where is my power?
29:36Where is my dog magic?
29:38It seems the forest's spiritual energy
29:40has drained you dry.
29:49The sacred stag has bonded with my daughter.
29:52Father, the sacred stag
29:54has bonded its soul to Sarah.
29:56Volodia has won this year's hunt.
30:03Father!
30:04Father!
30:05Save me!
30:05Sebastian tricked me!
30:07He wants to kill me!
30:08Finally, this moment,
30:10after holding it in for so long,
30:12this time I am saying it out loud.
30:16This gentle, kind,
30:17at Prince Enorissia's,
30:19in truth,
30:20a witch who has practiced dark magic
30:22for many years.
30:23Before this hunt,
30:24she forced her dark magic
30:26past its limit,
30:27hoping to wipe out
30:27my brothers in the forest.
30:29But the forest's pure energy
30:30turned against her.
30:32And now,
30:33every ounce of her power is gone.
30:37Felix's poisoning,
30:38a Julian's framing,
30:40all those strange events
30:41in the palace,
30:42it was all your dying.
30:48So what if it was?
30:50All of this was supposed to be mine.
30:53Father's love,
30:55the princess's devotion,
30:56the fate of the kingdom,
30:57until that filthy thing
30:59from the wilderness appeared.
31:00She stole my destiny!
31:02She took everything
31:03that was supposed to be mine!
31:05I did not steal your destiny,
31:08you chose your own path
31:09of no return.
31:11If I cannot have anything,
31:13then you shall have nothing
31:14in either!
31:16Oh no!
31:17Sarah!
31:19Sarah!
31:19Sarah!
31:36Sarah!
31:40Sarah!
31:41Sarah!
31:41Open your eyes!
31:42You vile witch!
31:46She's dead!
31:47She's dead!
31:48My destiny has returned!
31:50Turn to me!
31:53There's...
31:54There's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your Majesty!
31:58The little princess's soul has been sealed
32:00by dark magic! She... she has fallen
32:02into a deep slumber!
32:04How could this be undone?!
32:06The curse is bound to the caster's last
32:08drop of life force.
32:09It will not lift until that magic naturally
32:12fades, or...
32:14unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa, I once raised you
32:18as my own, granted you the title of princess.
32:20Today you have wield dark magic,
32:22poisoned the royal house, and struck down
32:24my own daughter. I hereby decree
32:25you are stripped of your status as a ward
32:28of Veloria, and of every title bestowed
32:30upon you! From this day forth you
32:32are banished from this kingdom, never
32:34to return! Father!
32:36One day you will regret this!
32:40Home.
32:42Let us go home.
32:44Home!
32:47Little one...
32:48Let me hear your voice one more time,
32:50please.
32:54Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her
32:56to undo the curse with her own hands!
32:58It's no use. Her magic is gone.
33:00She can do nothing now.
33:01From the day Father brought this little one home
33:03from the wilderness, every single day
33:06we heard her chattering in our minds.
33:07It's so loud, so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:13Hmm. Why is it so dark?
33:16Where is this?
33:18Sarah?
33:19I 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!
33:35What is it? Has Sarah woken?
33:38Hmm. Do I smell hot milk?
33:41Is that Father?
33:42Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger.
33:48You need your rest.
33:51Sarah...
33:52My Sarah...
33:54You're still here.
33:58Sarah, I caught you a spirit squirrel
34:00from the holy mountains of the north.
34:01They say its call brings joy to whoever hears it.
34:05It's so noisy!
34:07Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:09Out, out, out!
34:11You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days.
34:17It's fine.
34:18Why am I asleep?
34:20I remember exposing Neressa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:26Why did I grow to seven years old?
34:29I rushed it.
34:31In the original story, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later.
34:36Only 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 bait.
34:49I bent the entire story by force.
34:52And now it's bending back on me.
34:55Then...
34:56How do I wake up?
34:58Let the story return 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.
35:15That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:21Only when Neressa walks her original fate to the end will I have any chance of waking.
35:27But...
35:27I am asleep now.
35:29I can do nothing.
35:31How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:35You heard her?
35:37Yes.
35:38Let the original plot unfold as it should.
35:40Now this is interesting.
35:42My foolish little girl.
35:44You think father and your brothers would ever let you bear this alone?
35:48Our spies report that Nerissa has slipped into the Vervemont palace alone and sought audience with Sebastian.
35:55Useless!
35:55Her 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... help her?
36:08Help her perform this play to its very last act.
36:11Let the wretched ending the original book wrote for her fall upon her word for word.
36:17Well, 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?
36:31With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone.
36:36But in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
36:41What thing?
36:42The gift of prophecy.
36:44I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
36:48Words alone prove nothing.
36:50If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
36:55Tell 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.
37:21Sarah said there is a spy of Neressa's inside the palace
37:24Feeding intelligence to Sebastian
37:26As I expected
37:27A stable boy in the palace
37:29Named Marcus
37:31Every three days
37:33He leaves under the pretest of delivering feed
37:35Each time by a different route
37:37At a different hour
37:38Seize him
37:39Question him under whatever measure necessary
37:43Father, no
37:45He is our finest tool for sending Neressa to her doom
37:50We shall feed Neressa exactly the intelligence she craves
37:56Your Highness
37:57This woman's origins are dubious
38:00Will you really entrust military secrets to her prophecies?
38:04I want to see for myself
38:06Whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny
38:09Speak
38:11Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month
38:14My ministers will record every word
38:18In seven days
38:19Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier
38:23With Prince Julian personally overseeing the supplies
38:27In ten days the northern garrison rotates
38:29And Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north
38:34In other words
38:35On the 8th of next month Valeria's eastern frontier will be an empty city
38:40Defended only by leaderless reserves
38:42Such precision
38:44And how am I to verify this?
38:46Send your highness's most trusted spy into Valeria to verify
38:50I stake my own head on the truth of it
38:52And so the sleeping princess waited
38:55And waited
38:56For a thousand years
38:59Nerissa attended Sebastian's war council today
39:03She predicts our army's movements
39:06In the original story, Sebastian sends a spy to Valeria to verify
39:11This is the critical moment for our false intelligence
39:13If the spy sees what Nerissa said, word for word, Sebastian will believe her completely
39:19But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your highness
39:24Every word Princess Nerissa spake is true
39:32Excellent, what a goddess of prophecy
39:34Issue my command
39:35In ten days our army marches
39:37We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike
39:46Help me seize Valeria
39:48And I shall make you my queen
39:50Foolish man
39:51Once I am your queen and bear your son
39:55All of Viramond will also be mine
40:04Felix
40:05The enemy is too strong
40:07We are not prepared
40:08Per the plan
40:09Retreat
40:10Abandon the city
40:12And fall back to the second line of defense
40:23A glorious first victory, your highness
40:27Let me toast you
40:29You are far more useful than I expected
40:31Your highness
40:32I have seen another vision
40:34In three days
40:36Only Prince Alaric will hold Valeria's second line of defense
40:41Prince Julian will have already retreated to the capital
40:44If your highness leads the raid in person
40:47Prince Alaric can be captured in a single strike
40:52Alaric
40:53That hordy cold-faced heir of Valeria
40:56I shall have him groveling at my feet
41:01Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric
41:08Heir of Valeria
41:11Surprised are you?
41:12Tonight I come for your head
41:22Welcome
41:32An empty city just as she said
41:34Neressa
41:35This time I shall reward you handsomely
41:43From this day forth
41:45Valeria's second defense line
41:48Also belongs to me
41:52The proud heir of Valeria
41:54Kneeling at my feet
41:55How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself
41:58I came precisely because I wanted to
42:13Impossible
42:14The intelligence clearly stated Valeria's main force was still in the capital
42:19Princess
42:19Valeria's main army is closing in from west, south and north
42:23Our line of retreat has been cut
42:27My intelligence
42:30Could not be wrong
42:31You set me up
42:35Not me
42:36It was my little sister
42:38Who still lies sleeping
42:57Father
42:58Alaric
42:59We did it
43:02Yes, my Sarah
43:03We did it
43:13You lying witch
43:15You have doomed his highness
43:23Impossible
43:23How can this be?
43:29Speak
43:30Speak
43:30The child in your bemmy
43:32Is it mine?
43:34Your highness
43:35Of course it is yours
43:41Your highness
43:42This young woman
43:44Is not with child at all
43:46You
43:47Wretched
43:48Horde
43:49You
43:49Darn
43:50Perceive me
43:51Calm yourself
43:52Your highness
43:53There is
43:54There is yet one more thing you do not know
43:55Speak
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess
44:01She is an orphan our father took in twenty years ago
44:04From the chaos of war
44:07What?
44:09A ward?
44:09I Sebastian
44:11Lost an army
44:12And disgraced my crown
44:13For a swindling woman
44:16Without a drop of royal blood
44:21Let me end her with my own hand
44:23Stop
44:24Nerissa
44:25Is a fugitive of Valeria
44:28Her judgment
44:29Is not
44:30Yours to deliver
44:39Sebastian
44:40Crown prince of Viramont
44:42You initiated unprovoked war
44:44And invaded Valeria
44:45Bringing suffering upon the people of both lands
44:47By the treaty between our two kingdoms
44:50How shall you be judged?
44:52Your majesty of Valeria
44:54Our king will cede six eastern border cities in reparution
44:58Plus ten thousand gold coins annually for twenty years
45:03Begging only for the life of our crown prince
45:06So be it
45:08Prince Sebastian will remain in Valeria as a hostage for two years to oversee the reparations
45:13He may return home only after that term is fulfilled
45:17Nerissa
45:18You were my ward
45:19I treated you as my own daughter
45:21And yet you practiced the dark arts
45:23Poisoned my youngest son
45:24Framed my second
45:25Conspired against the royal house
45:27Committed high treason
45:28And struck down my own daughter
45:30Father
45:32Do you still not see?
45:34I was meant to be your only daughter
45:36The only princess of Valeria
45:38Your son's devotion
45:40Your tender love
45:40The fate of this kingdom
45:42All of it was meant to be mine
45:47Until that filthy thing from the Underless appeared
45:50She stole my place
45:51She took the destiny that was supposed to be mine
45:55From the day you first touched dark magic
45:58You ceased to be my daughter
46:00By the laws of Valeria
46:02One who wields dark magic and conspires against the crown
46:05Shall be stripped of all titles
46:07Exiled to the frozen islands
46:09Never to return
46:10No
46:11Not the frozen islands
46:13All of this was supposed to be mine
46:15All of this was supposed to be mine
46:17All of this was supposed to be mine
46:29Your highness
46:30Tomorrow is the little princess's coronation
46:33His majesty has decreed
46:35Tonight no one is to keep vigil
46:37He will sit with her alone
46:38Very well
46:39Little one
46:45Tomorrow is your coronation
46:46These past few years
46:48Father has aged greatly
46:49Coronation?
46:51Me?
46:52I've slept
46:53So long
46:54The story should have
46:56Returned to its course long ago
46:58Why have I not woken?
47:00What is still missing?
47:02What is missing?
47:05My Sarah
47:06Tomorrow is your coronation
47:08This crown was worn by your mother
47:11On the day of her own coronation
47:12Her greatest regret
47:14Before she passed
47:15Was never seeing her own daughter wear it
47:18Sarah
47:19You have slept for so long
47:21These past years
47:23Your father and your three brothers
47:24Have done everything imaginable
47:26Neressa is exiled to the frozen islands
47:28Sebastian has paid his price
47:30And returned home
47:31Valeria has never been stronger
47:33And yet
47:34There remains a hollow place in my heart
47:39Father does not lack a daughter
47:42Father lacks you
47:44It matters not how the crown sits upon you
47:47If only you would wake
47:48If only you would call me father one more time
47:51I would surrender all the rest
48:03Father
48:05Father
48:06Sarah
48:07My Sarah
48:08Father
48:09Sarah
48:11Sarah
48:11Has come home
48:14I am not the heroine of this story
48:16I am only a daughter
48:18Lifted from the wilderness by her father's hands
48:21This time
48:22I will simply be that daughter
48:29Father didn't return all night
48:31I thought something had happened
48:32Good morning
48:33Felix
48:34Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost
48:38It's not as if I actually died
48:42Sarah
48:42You're awake
48:43You're awake
48:44Felix
48:45My milk is going to spill
48:49Sarah
48:51Sarah
48:51Sarah
48:52Brother
48:53I've waited for you for so long
48:55Goodness
48:55So much commotion this early in the morning
48:57My eyeliner is going to run
48:59Julian
49:00When have you ever worn eyeliner?
49:02Sarah
49:02The coronation
49:03Do you wish for it to proceed a schedule?
49:05Yes
49:06Sarah is father's daughter
49:08Sarah is the princess of Valeria
49:10From today onward
49:12Sarah will truly bear this name
49:14I 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
49:25You have given Sarah everything
49:28Father
49:29Sarah once came from a place far, far away
49:32But from the moment I woke
49:34I have known
49:35My true home is here
49:37Where you came from I never cared
49:41I only cared whether you would stay
49:52My dearest little princess
49:53Will you allow your brother Felix
49:55The honour of escorting you in?
50:13May the glory of Princess Seraphina of Valeria endure forever
50:18May my little sister know nothing but joy
50:21All her days
50:22May our Sarah be cherished by the whole world
50:25Always
50:26From this day forth
50:27You are Princess Seraphina of Valeria
50:30Bearer of the crown's honour of our glory
50:32Of every pure soul in this land
50:36People of Valeria
50:37Welcome your princess
50:44I once believed I was the one who chose my destiny
50:48Then destiny pushed me into a place I never knew
50:51Turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness
50:54With nothing but tears
50:56I thought I would change everything
50:58But the truth is
50:59My father in this place
51:01And my three brothers
51:02With their love
51:03Piece by piece
51:05Made me into the true Seraphina
51:07This time I do not choose my destiny
51:10I accept it
51:11Because what destiny gave me
51:13Is the most precious family in this world
