Short filmTranscript
00:03Where am I? What happened?
00:07I stayed up reading and I passed out from exhaustion.
00:10How did this happen?
00:14I do not believe in destiny.
00:18I choose it.
00:20Not even God gets to control my life.
00:35Can't talk?
00:36As a CEO, am I gonna die in the woods?
00:41Are you kidding me?
00:45Help! I don't want to die!
00:52Father, there is a child. Alarak, bring the child to me.
00:56Alarak? Wait, that name sounds familiar.
01:01Are these two, the king and the crown prince, a novel I was reading?
01:05I'm actually inside the book.
01:07Father, did you hear that?
01:09In the novel, they adopt an abandoned baby.
01:12Then that hypocrite Neressa realizes the baby soul is pure energy,
01:17perfect for her dark magic.
01:19He'll play nice and suck me dry.
01:22I'm the cannon fodder!
01:24I'm gonna die!
01:26Father, we are truly hearing her thoughts.
01:29But how did she know Nerissa?
01:31How can she know things that haven't happened?
01:34Keep watching.
01:35Perhaps she is a warning from the heavens.
01:39She is a bright and lovely kid.
01:42I'll raise her in the palace.
01:43Help!
01:44Don't take me!
01:46Your whole family!
01:48The short-lived ghost!
01:53Alarak, I have state affairs to attend to.
01:56Watch over the infant for now.
01:58I'll have the maids prepare a separate room for her.
02:02Don't go, old man!
02:04Did she just call father an old man?
02:11Alarak?
02:12What is that in your arms?
02:14No way!
02:15You've gotta be kidding me!
02:17I literally just got here!
02:20And there she is!
02:21The heroine, Neressa!
02:24Classic fairytale face.
02:26However, total lie.
02:28That's how she fools everyone.
02:31Alarak?
02:32What is that in your arms?
02:33Father just rescued this baby from the wild.
02:36He's planning to adopt her.
02:38Such a pure soul.
02:40Perfect 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!
02:58My soul is literally screaming!
03:01Stop!
03:03I can't breathe!
03:05Someone can help me!
03:12Narissa!
03:13What did you do?
03:16I don't know, Alarak!
03:18I barely touched her!
03:20Why is she bleeding?
03:21Oh my god, is 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.
03:39Julian, don't blame him.
03:40He's probably just stressed about the new baby.
03:43Alarak, I think you owe Nerissa an explanation.
03:47Ugh!
03:47Another brainwashed pawn.
03:49Julian, do you have any idea she's the reason you end up as a beggar on the streets?
03:54Wake up, genius!
03:57I'm sorry, Alarak.
03:59I'm not used to holding a baby.
04:00I 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!
04:07Again!
04:08Cheap junk.
04:09Like I care.
04:10So annoying.
04:11Ugh!
04:12Julian 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.
04:22She literally fools you.
04:23No wonder you end up a beggar in the book.
04:26You could've been brilliant for this kingdom.
04:28Instead, she bleeds you dry while turning father against you.
04:31Making it look like you're the one wasting it all.
04:34Can I actually hear her thoughts?
04:35Don't be fooled by Nerissa's innocent act.
04:38Look at her sleeve.
04:39That ruby ring.
04:41The only heirloom your mom left is in there.
04:45Oh, wait.
04:46I just remembered.
04:47Heh.
04:48I grabbed the wrong one.
04:49Aunt Nerissa, this rouge isn't for you.
04:51It's actually for the head maid.
04:52What?
04:53But-
04:54Give it back.
04:55I'll bring you something much better later.
05:01Caught red-handed.
05:03Let's see how you lie your way out of this one, princess.
05:14Why do you have my mother's ruby ring?
05:16I-I have no idea.
05:18It just appeared on my desk.
05:20Julian!
05:21I was on my way to give it back to father!
05:24Wow!
05:24The audacity!
05:26Did the ring grow legs and crawl into your sleeve to dance?
05:31Why didn't it crawl into my arms instead?
05:42Mother's ruby ring.
05:45It chose her.
05:47Fine.
05:48Then as a welcome gift.
05:51It's hers now.
05:52Really?
05:53Julian?
05:54You're the best!
05:56Since you're being so generous, I'll make sure you become the richest man alive.
06:02No one's stealing from you on my watch.
06:05I was going to refine this ruby.
06:08It's the last ingredient I need for my level up potion.
06:12I have to get it back.
06:14She's still a baby.
06:16This gift is way too valuable for her.
06:18Julian, let me hold on to it for now.
06:22Too much for her, but not for you?
06:24Or is it that you've never cared for anything I give you, and only have eyes for my mother's heirloom?
06:30Is this really what you think of me?
06:33Forget 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?
06:49Felix is in trouble?
06:55Father!
06:59No!
07:00No!
07:03No!
07:06No!
07:07No!
07:08Father, where is Felix?
07:10Where's my brother?
07:13Father!
07:15Alaric!
07:16I just saw Felix by the canyon.
07:18It looked like he was retreating that way.
07:20Move!
07:20Let's find him!
07:22Don't listen to her!
07:23It's the other way!
07:25She's lying, so you won't find him, and Felix will be kidnapped by the spies.
07:31If 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.
07:43This is the chance to see if this baby's thoughts are actually true.
07:48Father, I saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction.
07:52Felix might be over there.
07:53In that case, split up!
07:55Search both ways!
08:02To the left!
08:04Hurry!
08:05Felix is behind that cave!
08:07He's barely holding on!
08:10Hang on, Felix!
08:16Felix!
08:17Felix!
08:18We made it just in time.
08:20Don't worry, brother.
08:21I am here to save you.
08:24I'm so sorry, Father Alaric.
08:26I was so panicked on the battlefield that I got confused.
08:29I actually meant to point in this direction, too.
08:32That's enough!
08:33We need to treat Alaric.
08:34Just get out!
08:36Just get out!
08:49Father, there are spies in the border guard.
08:52Our secret passage.
08:53The enemy found it.
08:55I know.
08:56Just focus on recovering.
08:57I'll handle the rest.
08:58Thank God!
08:59In the book, the king didn't trust Felix and refused to heal him.
09:03He was even going to exile him.
09:05Felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy, but he was framed as a spy and father executed him
09:11with his own hands on the battlefield.
09:12He died screaming his innocence.
09:15Am I actually hearing this baby's thoughts?
09:18How can she predict the future?
09:21Father, who is this baby?
09:23I've decided to formally adopt her.
09:25From this day on, she is Princess Sarah of Valeria.
09:27What about Nerissa?
09:29She hasn't even been officially titled yet.
09:31Oh my God!
09:32Felix, did you lose your brain on the battlefield?
09:34You're still worried about that wicked woman.
09:37You were hit by a poison arrow, remember?
09:39She's the one who brewed that poison.
09:41She used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions.
09:44Father, was I poisoned?
09:47Don't worry.
09:48I will get to the bottom of this.
09:55Father is actually adapting that Brit, giving her a royal title.
09:58I'm the only princess in this palace.
10:00Ever since that baby arrived, nothing has gone right.
10:03I didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence.
10:06If I can't have her soul, I'll kill her.
10:09What are you doing here eavesdropping?
10:10Julian, I was just so worried about Felix.
10:14Worried?
10:15I certainly didn't see any sign of that.
10:17Is it because I'm too clumsy?
10:19Do you all love the new baby now and don't care about me anymore?
10:22Unbelievable.
10:23Inviting a baby for attention?
10:24I've never seen anyone so shameless.
10:27Enough with the drama.
10:28We're taking Sarah to the royal auction.
10:30Get out of the way.
10:30The auction?
10:31I want to go too!
10:32We're going to buy a welcome print for Sarah.
10:34Why are you coming?
10:35You always used to take me with you.
10:37Follow us if you must.
10:39Fine by me.
10:40That'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 feels because of that necklace.
10:49I want it!
10:50Brothers, you better buy it for me or I'll cry my eyes out!
10:56Wow!
10:56I want that!
10:57And that too!
10:58Being a princess is amazing!
11:00All these shiny treasures should be mine!
11:03Distinguished 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.
11:25Could you get it for me?
11:27Fine.
11:29I knew it.
11:30This moron is still no match for my mind control spell.
11:355,000 gold coins.
11:37Sold!
11:38Congratulations to the crown prince on securing this treasure.
11:40Thank you, Alaric.
11:41I knew you cared about me the most.
11:43Don't mention it.
11:44Felix needs the pure energy of this lotus for his recovery.
11:47It's for him.
11:48Ha!
11:49Alaric is finally wising up.
11:51Nerissa's mind control doesn't seem to work anymore.
11:53Where is that sapphire necklace Sarah mentioned?
11:56Did the information be wrong?
11:57Excuse me, is this how a major auction house treats the Valonia 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.
12:10Bring it out now.
12:11If our Sarah likes it, I don't care who bids, I'll pay ten times their price.
12:14What?
12:15Spending 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.
12:27Your understanding of wealth clearly differs from mine.
12:30What you see as a national fortune, I see as a single day's profit.
12:34That's it!
12:34The Eternal Guardian!
12:36With this, no wicked curse or dark magic can ever touch me.
12:41Sarah definitely wants it.
12:43That's mine!
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!
12:56This is the Eternal Guardian starting bid 10,000 gold coins!
13:04Alaric, Julian, why aren't you bidding?
13:07This treasure is one of a kind.
13:09It would be a tragedy to lose it.
13:11Sister, how did you know I liked it?
13:14Since you're so thoughtful, why don't you buy it for me?
13:18Princess Nerissa of Valeria bids 50,000 gold coins!
13:22It's not me!
13:23I don't have the money!
13:24I can't afford this!
13:25These brothers and father have showered you with wealth for years,
13:28and you have the nerve to say you have no money?
13:30Figures!
13:31She's been using every pure energy treasure for her vile potions.
13:35Alaric, Julian is being so mean to me!
13:39100,000!
13:41I knew it.
13:42He's the easiest to manipulate.
13:44One fake tear and he'll hand over the necklace.
13:47I can see Sarah is very fond of this treasure.
13:49Since neither of you can afford it, I'll buy it for Sarah as a welcome gift.
13:53Enough!
13:54You two are disgusting ganging up on poor, innocent Nerissa.
13:58Fine.
13:59If you two won't appreciate her, I will take this necklace for her.
14:05200,000!
14:09I knew that Prince Sebastian looked familiar.
14:11It's definitely him!
14:13Nerissa's already in league with him!
14:15They're just sure as pushing the price up!
14:17In the book, Julian, over 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.
14:31He'll stop right there and wait for Julian to take the bait.
14:36990,000 gold coins.
14:38Idiots.
14:38Always doubling the bid.
14:40One more raise from Sebastian and Julian will definitely hit two million.
14:44Then both the treasure and the money will be mine.
14:47One million.
14:48Anyone else?
14:50One million gold coins going once.
14:52Twice.
14:54One million sold!
14:56Congratulations to Prince Sebastian on winning the Eternal Guardian.
15:00Wait!
15:00Why aren't you bidding?
15:02Sold!
15:02Where am I supposed to get that much money?
15:04Haha, talk about a backfire.
15:06Let's see how you two split the loot now.
15:12Nerissa, you told me Julian was a rich fool who would drain the treasury for you.
15:17Why isn't he bidding?
15:18Have you lost your mind?
15:19You can't afford it, so you're throwing dirt on me?
15:21I have no idea what you're talking about.
15:24Oh wow, look at them tear each other apart.
15:28Sebastian, you're toast.
15:30Nerissa treats men like disposable rags.
15:33He's done with you.
15:34Prince Sebastian, by the rules.
15:37If you refuse to pay, you must pay a 50% penalty immediately, or Vyreboot Kingdom will be blacklisted forever!
15:46Blacklist me?
15:48How dare you?
15:49My father is the Grand Arcsmith of the Sacred Domain.
15:52Try it, and I'll tear this auction house down stone by stone!
15:58Guards!
15:59Get in here!
16:02Surround this dishonest auction house!
16:04Smash everything!
16:05Kill anyone who stands in my way!
16:10Try me.
16:13Brothers, 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 Gwyneth's father should trust in at Julian.
16:35That's how at Julian started his downward spiral into ruin.
16:38Julian, don't let Nerissa and Sebastian destroy you.
16:42This entire mess is a trap they set up together.
16:45I planned to use Julian for Ritman, 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!
17:12No!
17:19Wow! Julian is amazing!
17:21He's a total beast!
17:23He looks so cool!
17:25I knew Julian was a genius in both business and magic!
17:28Did you hear that?
17:30Sarah definitely likes me more.
17:37Since Prince can't afford it,
17:38I'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?
17:55Her dark magic isn't even finished yet.
17:58Showing her true face now will be a human state.
18:01She still needs the Divine Stagger's antlers from the upcoming royal hunt.
18:07Julian, 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!
18:14Look at you.
18:15Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewelry,
18:18all paid for by me, now that you mention it.
18:19I need to get Sari 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!
18:33He'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!
18:44I'm going back to tell Father and Felix!
18:49They'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!
19:16You 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.
19:25Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet.
19:27He's still in a mess, though.
19:29With him on my side, no one dared to touch me.
19:32Oh 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 that 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!
20:17Julian refining, Alaric assisting, and Felix waking up?
20:21So badass!
20:25Alaric, bring Sarah to me.
20:27I want to hold the little one too.
20:31I 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 Domean 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,
20:54and Julian's manor veins were shattered protecting him.
20:57He became a total cripple.
21:00Father, may I hold Sarah as well?
21:02And then there's poor Felix.
21:04He was supposed to be the champion of the hunt,
21:07titled the God of War,
21:08and lead our armies to victory.
21:10But in the book,
21:11Nerissa 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...
21:21Enough!
21:21You're just ganging up on me!
21:23When my father finishes his meditation,
21:25he'll slaughter you all!
21:26Fine.
21:27Since you're so confident,
21:28we'll see you at the royal hunt!
21:30Let's see who kills whom.
21:31Return to the palace!
21:35Damn it.
21:39Don't touch me!
21:41Aren't you afraid I'll run over there right now
21:43and tell them exactly who you really are?
21:45Useless trash!
21:46Stay away from me!
21:47If it weren't for my grand plan,
21:48I'd rip your tongue out right now.
21:49How could you think that?
21:51I'm only using them to gather intelligence.
21:53Don't forget,
21:54we are allies for the hunt.
21:56You'd better mean that.
22:03Tomorrow is the royal hunt.
22:05All three of you will participate
22:08and fight for the honor of Valeria.
22:10This old man is so stubborn,
22:12he's a hopeless case.
22:13He knows it's a trap
22:15and he's still sending them.
22:16Naraza and Sebastian
22:18have already set a deadly trap
22:19in the mist forest.
22:21My three tall, handsome, rich brothers
22:23are walking straight to their deaths.
22:28I'll have secret guards watching Narissa.
22:31She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
22:33Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up?
22:35Looks like Narissa's little act
22:37is falling apart.
22:39As for Sarah,
22:40she cannot go.
22:41I will stay at the palace
22:42to protect her personally.
22:44Are you kidding me?
22:45I take it back!
22:47How can you leave me here with Narissa?
22:49She'll suck my soul dry
22:51while you're napping!
22:53Help!
22:54I want to go to the hunt
22:55with my brothers!
22:56Don't leave me in this death trap!
22:59Father,
22:59I think we should take Sarah with us.
23:03Exactly.
23:04She has Mother's Ring
23:05and the Eternal Guardian.
23:06In terms of defense,
23:08she'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
23:18with the old man.
23:19My brothers are the best.
23:23Fine, 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.
23:34Whoever captures the legendary sacred stag
23:36will be crowned this year's champion.
23:40Now, I declare,
23:42let the hunt begin!
23:52Narissa?
23:54What are you doing here?
23:57You three must have pitied me
23:58so 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!
24:08Why?
24:08Why can a foundling baby go
24:10but 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,
24:22I'll kill you first!
24:23Oh no!
24:24She used dark magic to force a power boost
24:27so she could wipe out my brothers!
24:29She can't control the energy!
24:30She's about to strike father!
24:32Look out, old man!
24:33Narissa!
24:34The forest is incredibly dangerous.
24:37Father is only concerned for your safety.
24:40My, my!
24:41If you brothers don't want Narissa,
24:43I certainly do.
24:45Narissa!
24:46Since your brothers don't cherish you,
24:48come with me instead.
24:49Fine!
24:50Since you're so eager to be the fool,
24:52take her with you.
24:52Brothers, let's move out.
24:54Sarah is losing her patience.
24:56That baby is a total jinx.
24:58Nothing but bad luck whenever she's around.
25:01Fine.
25:01I'll go without Sebastian for now
25:03and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
25:06Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian.
25:08Let's go.
25:17Boar at 50 meters to the left.
25:19Combat power, two stars.
25:22Juliet 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.
25:29Narissa 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.
25:38Felix, 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.
25:51Julian, do you have any treasures
25:52that can break through a labyrinth seal?
25:54It seems completely useless.
25:55Yes, the 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 they set up beforehand.
26:04With the stag trapped,
26:06the forest's purication is gone.
26:08If you guys don't find the stag
26:10and break the seal by midnight,
26:11every pure soul in this forest
26:13will become fuel for Narissa's dark magic.
26:16That 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.
26:24Don't be afraid, Sarah.
26:25As long as we're here,
26:27we won't let anything happen to you.
26:29Wow, my brothers are the best.
26:31Come on, think.
26:33Where exactly is the sacred stag?
26:36Ah, 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.
27:00Those 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.
27:08There's me too.
27:09The sapphire necklace around my neck.
27:12The Eternal Guardian.
27:13Its power is the perfect counter for this evil stuff.
27:16Just throw it over.
27:17Listen to Sarah.
27:18This is our only shot.
27:23Julian, Felix, get ready.
27:26On three.
27:28One, two, three.
27:38You're useless.
27:40You couldn't even keep the labyrinth seal intact.
27:41And you promised they'd never return.
27:46What do you know?
27:47You think they've won just because they freed that stag?
27:50That was the trap within the trap.
27:53The true dark magic isn't in those skulls.
27:56It is inside the stag itself.
27:57As long as they get close to that beast,
27:59the curse triggers.
28:01Just watch.
28:02They'll all be dead within seconds.
28:09Stop, stop.
28:11Alaric, don't go any closer.
28:12That stag is a time bomb.
28:15Nerysha 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 is already dead, Alaric.
28:32Sarah!
28:47My God.
28:49The sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own.
28:52It's a soul covenant.
28:54From now on, the power of this entire forest belongs to her.
28:57As long as she stands on this land,
28:59she is practically a goddess.
29:03Brothers!
29:08Sarah, is that you?
29:10Oh my God!
29:11I'm grown up!
29:12I can speak!
29:14Heaven has finally to its senses!
29:18Brothers!
29:20Sarah!
29:21You 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!
29:32How can this be?
29:34Where is my power?
29:36Where is my dark magic?
29:38It seems the forest's spiritual energy has drained you dry.
29:49The sacred stag has bonded with my daughter.
29:52Father, the sacred stag has bonded its soul to Sarah.
29:55Volodya has won this year's hunt.
30:03Father!
30:04Father!
30:05Save me!
30:06Sebastian tricked me!
30:07He wants to kill me!
30:09Finally, this moment,
30:10after holding it in for so long,
30:13this time I am saying it out loud.
30:14This time I am saying it out loud!
30:16This gentle, kind, at Prince Enorissi is in truth.
30:20A witch who has practiced dark magic for many years.
30:23Before this hunt,
30:24she forced her dark magic past its limit,
30:27hoping to wipe out my brothers in the forest.
30:29But the forest's pure energy turned against her.
30:32And now,
30:33every ounce of her power is gone.
30:37Felix poisoning,
30:39Julian's framing,
30:40all those strange events in the palace,
30:42it was all your dying.
30:49So 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,
30:58until that filthy thing from the wilderness appeared.
31:01She stole my destiny!
31:02She took everything that was supposed to be mine!
31:05I did not steal your destiny.
31:08You chose your own path of no return.
31:11If I cannot have anything,
31:13then you shall have nothing in you either!
31:16Oh no!
31:18Sarah!
31:37Sarah!
31:40Sarah!
31:41Open your eyes!
31:43You vile witch!
31:46She's dead!
31:47She's dead!
31:49My destiny has returned to me!
31:53There's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your majesty!
31:58The little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic.
32:01She has fallen into a deep slumber.
32:04How could this be undone?
32:06The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force.
32:09It will not lift until that magic naturally fades,
32:12or unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa,
32:17I once raised you as my own,
32:18granted you the title of princess.
32:21Today you have wielded dark magic,
32:22poisoned the royal house,
32:23and struck down my own daughter.
32:25I hereby decree,
32:26you are stripped of your status as a ward of Valoria,
32:29and of every title bestowed upon you.
32:31From this day forth,
32:32you are banished from this kingdom,
32:34never to return.
32:35Father!
32:36One day you will regret this!
32:41Home.
32:42Home.
32:42Let us go home.
32:47Little one.
32:48Let me hear your voice one more time, please.
32:54Brother,
32:54I'll go after Narisha
32:56and force her to undo the curse with her own hands.
32:58It's no use.
32:59Her magic is gone.
33:00She can do nothing now.
33:02From the day Father brought this little one home from the wilderness,
33:05every single day we heard her chattering in our minds.
33:08So loud,
33:09so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:14Hmm.
33:15Why 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,
33:28you heard that too.
33:30We heard it.
33:31It's Sarah.
33:32It's her voice.
33:36What is it?
33:37Has Sarah woken?
33:38Hmm.
33:39Do I smell hot milk?
33:41Is that Father?
33:43Father,
33:43why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger.
33:48You need your rest.
33:51Sarah.
33:52Sarah.
33:52My Sarah.
33:54You're still here.
33:58Sarah,
33:59I caught you a spirit squirrel from the holy mountains of the north.
34:02They say its call brings joy to whoever hears it.
34:05It's so noisy.
34:07Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:10Out,
34:10out,
34:11out!
34:11You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother,
34:15you haven't slept in three days.
34:17It's fine.
34:18Why am I asleep?
34:20I remember exposing Nerissa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:26Why did I grow to seven years old?
34:29I rushed it.
34:31In the original story,
34:33Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later,
34:37only then driven to her dead end.
34:39I exposed her too early.
34:41She still had her last breath of magic when I did.
34:44It was not supposed to happen this way.
34:46I sped up everyone's fate.
34:49I bent the entire story by force.
34:52And now it's bending back on me.
34:55Then,
34:57how do I wake up?
34:59Let the story
35:01return to its rightful course.
35:03In the original story,
35:04Nerissa does not die so easily.
35:06She flees to Sebastian's kingdom,
35:08claims to have gained the gift of prophecy,
35:10and ignites war between the two kingdoms.
35:12Then she is outwitted, exposed, discarded,
35:14and meets a wretched end.
35:16That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:21Only when Nerissa walks her original fate to the end,
35:25will 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?
35:36You heard her?
35:37Yes.
35:38Let the original plot unfold as it should.
35:40Now this is interesting.
35:43My foolish little girl.
35:44You think father and your brothers would ever let you bear this alone?
35:47No!
35:48Our spies report that Nerissa has slipped into the Vervemont Palace alone
35:53and 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...
36:07Help 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,
36:22what brings you here?
36:24Your Highness,
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:29You?
36:30A powerless wretch?
36:32With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone,
36:37but in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
36:42What thing?
36:43The gift of prophecy.
36:45I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
36:49Words alone prove nothing.
36:51If you want me to believe you,
36:52you'll have to prove it.
36:55Tell me how, Your Highness.
36:57I will do anything.
36:59I may have lost my magic,
37:00but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered.
37:04That is enough.
37:09In the original story,
37:11Nerissa's first move
37:12was to use her hidden contact inside the palace
37:15to feed intel to Sebastian.
37:21Sarah said there is a spy of Nerissa's
37:23inside the palace
37:24feeding intelligence to Sebastian.
37:26As I expected.
37:28A stable boy in the palace
37:30named Marcus.
37:32Every three days,
37:33he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed,
37:36each time by a different route
37:37at a different hour.
37:39Seize him.
37:40Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no.
37:45He is our finest tool
37:47for sending Nerissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Nerissa
37:52exactly the intelligence she craves.
37:56Your Highness,
37:57this woman's origins are dubious.
38:00Will you really entrust military secrets
38:03to her prophecies?
38:04I want to see for myself
38:06whether her boasts
38:08can withstand scrutiny.
38:10Speak.
38:11Predict every troop movement
38:13Valeria will make
38:14in the coming month.
38:15My ministers will record every word.
38:18In seven days,
38:19Valeria will depatch
38:203,000 elite troops
38:22to the eastern frontier
38:23with Prince Julian
38:24personally overseeing the supply.
38:27In ten days,
38:28the northern garrison rotates
38:30and Prince Felix
38:31is ordered to train
38:32new recruits in the north.
38:34In other words,
38:35on the 8th of next month,
38:37Valeria's eastern frontier
38:38will be an empty city
38:40defended only by
38:42leaderless reserves.
38:43Such precision.
38:44And how am I to verify this?
38:47Send your Highness's
38:48most trusted spy
38:49into Valeria to verify.
38:50I stake my own head
38:52on the truth of it.
38:53And so the sleeping princess
38:55waited and waited
38:56for a thousand years.
38:59Nerissa attended
39:01Sebastian's war council today.
39:04She predicts
39:05our army's movements.
39:06In the original story,
39:09Sebastian sends a spy
39:10to Valeria to verify.
39:11This is the critical moment
39:13for our false intelligence.
39:14If the spy sees what Nerissa said,
39:16word for word,
39:17Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:19But how would father
39:20and my brothers
39:21ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your Highness,
39:25every word
39:26Princess Nerissa spake
39:27is true.
39:32Excellent.
39:33What a goddess of prophecy.
39:34Issue my command.
39:36In ten days,
39:37our army marches.
39:38We crush Valeria's eastern frontier
39:40in a single strike.
39:46Help me seize Valeria
39:48and I shall make you my queen.
39:51Foolish man.
39:52Once I am your queen
39:53and bear your son,
39:55all of Viramond
39:57will also be mine.
40:04Felix,
40:05the enemy is too strong.
40:07We are not prepared.
40:08Per the plan,
40:10retreat.
40:11Abandon the city
40:12and fall back
40:13to the second line of defense.
40:23A glorious first victory,
40:25Your Highness.
40:27Let me toast you.
40:29You are far more useful
40:30than I expected.
40:32Your Highness,
40:33I have seen another vision.
40:35In three days,
40:37only Prince Alaric
40:38will hold Valeria's
40:39second line of defense.
40:41Prince Julian
40:42will have already retreated
40:43to the capital.
40:45If Your Highness
40:46leads the raid in person,
40:48Prince Alaric
40:48can be captured
40:49in a single strike.
40:52Alaric,
40:53that hordy,
40:54cold-faced
40:55heir of Valeria.
40:56I shall have him
40:57groveling at my feet.
41:02Did Sarah send you
41:03to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric,
41:09heir of Valeria.
41:11Surprised, are you?
41:12Tonight,
41:13I come for your head.
41:23welcome.
41:32An empty city,
41:34just as she said.
41:35Neressa,
41:36this time I shall reward you
41:37handsomely.
41:44From this day forth,
41:46Valeria's second defense line
41:48also belongs to me.
41:52The proud heir of Valeria
41:54kneeling at my feet.
41:56How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself.
41:59I came precisely
42:00because I wanted to.
42:13impossible.
42:14The intelligence
42:15clearly stated
42:16Valeria's main force
42:17was still in the capital.
42:19Princess,
42:20Valeria's main army
42:21is closing in
42:22from west,
42:22south,
42:23and north.
42:23Our line of retreat
42:24has been cut.
42:27My intelligence
42:30could not be wrong.
42:32You set me up!
42:35Not me.
42:36It was my little sister
42:38who still lies sleeping.
42:58Father,
42:59Alaric,
43:00we did it.
43:02Yes,
43:03my Sarah.
43:04We did it.
43:14You lying witch.
43:16You have doomed
43:17his highness.
43:23Impossible.
43:24How can this be?
43:29Speak.
43:31The child in your Bemi,
43:32is it mine?
43:34Your highness,
43:43this young woman
43:44is not with child at all.
43:46You wretched horde!
43:49You dare perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself,
43:52your highness.
43:54There is yet one more
43:54thing you do not know.
43:56Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa
43:59is no true
43:59Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan
44:02our father took in
44:0320 years ago.
44:05from the chaos of war.
44:07What?
44:09A ward?
44:10I, Sebastian,
44:11lost an army
44:12and disgraced my crown
44:14for a swindling woman
44:17without a drop of royal blood.
44:21Let me end her
44:22with my own hands.
44:23Stop!
44:25Nerissa
44:25is a fugitive of Valeria.
44:28Her judgment
44:29is not yours to deliver.
44:31is not yours to deliver.
44:39Sebastian,
44:40crown prince of
44:41Viramont,
44:42you initiated
44:43unprovoked war
44:44and invaded Valeria,
44:45bringing suffering
44:46upon the people
44:47of both lands.
44:48By the treaty
44:49between our two kingdoms,
44:51how shall you be judged?
44:52Your majesty of Valeria,
44:55our king will cede
44:56six eastern border cities
44:57in reparution
44:58plus 10,000 gold coins
45:01annually for 20 years,
45:03begging only for the life
45:05of our crown prince.
45:07So be it.
45:09Prince Sebastian
45:09will remain in Valeria
45:11as a hostage
45:11for two years
45:12to oversee the reparations.
45:14He may return home
45:15only after that term
45:16is fulfilled.
45:17Nerissa,
45:18you were my ward.
45:20I treated you
45:20as my own daughter
45:21and yet
45:22you practiced
45:23the dark arts,
45:24poisoned my youngest son,
45:25framed my second,
45:26conspired against
45:26the royal house,
45:27committed high treason
45:28and struck
45:29down my own daughter.
45:32Father,
45:32do you still not see?
45:34I was meant to be
45:35your only daughter,
45:36the only princess
45:37of Valeria.
45:39Your son's devotion,
45:40your tender love,
45:41the fate of this kingdom,
45:42all of it
45:43was meant to be mine!
45:47Until that filthy thing
45:49from the Underless
45:50appeared.
45:50She stole my place!
45:52She took the destiny
45:53that was supposed
45:53to be mine!
45:56From the day
45:56you first touched
45:57dark magic,
45:58you ceased
45:58to be my daughter.
46:00By the laws of Valeria,
46:02one who wields
46:03dark magic
46:04and conspires
46:04against the crown
46:05shall be stripped
46:06of all titles,
46:07exiled to the frozen islands,
46:09never to return.
46:11No!
46:11Not the frozen islands!
46:13All of this
46:14was supposed
46:14to be mine!
46:15All of this
46:16was supposed
46:17to be mine!
46:17Was supposed
46:18to be mine!
46:29Your Highness,
46:31tomorrow is
46:31the little princess's
46:32coronation.
46:33His Majesty
46:34has decreed,
46:35tonight,
46:36no one is
46:36to keep vigil.
46:37He will sit
46:38with her alone.
46:39Very well.
46:44Little one,
46:45tomorrow is your coronation.
46:47These past few years,
46:48father has aged greatly.
46:50Coronation?
46:51Me?
46:52I've slept
46:53so long.
46:55The story should have
46:56returned to its course
46:58long ago.
46:59Why have I not woken?
47:00What is still missing?
47:02What is missing?
47:05My Sarah,
47:07tomorrow is your coronation.
47:09This crown was worn
47:10by your mother
47:11on the day
47:11of her own coronation.
47:13Her greatest regret,
47:14before she passed,
47:16was never seeing
47:16her own daughter wear it.
47:19Sarah,
47:20you have slept
47:20for so long.
47:22These past years,
47:23your father
47:24and your three brothers
47:25have done
47:25everything imaginable.
47:26Neressa is exiled
47:28to the frozen isles.
47:29Sebastian has paid
47:30his price
47:30and returned home.
47:32Valoria has never
47:32been stronger.
47:34And yet,
47:35there remains
47:36a hollow place
47:37in my heart.
47:39Father does not
47:40lack a daughter.
47:42Father lacks you.
47:44It matters not
47:45how the crown
47:46sits upon you.
47:47If only you would
47:48wake.
47:49If only you would
47:50call me father
47:51one more time.
47:52I would surrender
47:53all the rest.
48:04Father.
48:07Sarah,
48:08my Sarah.
48:09Father,
48:10Sarah has come home.
48:14I am not
48:15the heroine
48:16of this story.
48:17I am only a daughter
48:18lifted from the wilderness
48:20by her father's hands.
48:21This time,
48:23I will simply
48:24be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return
48:30all night.
48:31I thought something
48:32had happened.
48:33Good morning,
48:34Felix.
48:35Why does Felix
48:36look at me like
48:37he's seen a ghost?
48:38It's not as if
48:39I actually died.
48:42Sarah,
48:43you're awake.
48:44You're awake.
48:45Felix,
48:46my milk is going
48:47to spill.
48:50Sarah.
48:51Sarah.
48:52Sarah.
48:53Brother,
48:53I've waited for you
48:54for so long.
48:55Goodness.
48:56So much commotion
48:57this early in the morning.
48:58My eyeliner
48:58is going to run.
49:00Julian,
49:00when have you
49:01ever worn eyeliner?
49:02Sarah,
49:03the coronation,
49:04do you wish for it
49:05to proceed as schedule?
49:06Yes.
49:06Sarah is
49:07father's daughter.
49:09Sarah is
49:09the princess of Velouria.
49:11From today onward,
49:12Sarah will truly
49:13bear this name.
49:15I have never
49:15asked you,
49:16Sarah.
49:17Do you truly
49:18wish to call me
49:19father?
49:20Yes.
49:23It was you
49:24who lifted Sarah
49:25from the wilderness.
49:26You have given
49:26Sarah everything.
49:28Father,
49:29Sarah once came
49:31from a place
49:32far, far away.
49:33But from the moment
49:34I woke,
49:35I have known
49:36my true home
49:37is here.
49:38Where you came from,
49:39I never cared.
49:41I only cared
49:42whether you would stay.
49:51My dearest
49:53little princess,
49:54will you allow
49:54your brother Felix
49:55the honour
49:55of escorting you in?
49:56Yes.
50:00Yes.
50:01Yes.
50:02Yes.
50:04Yes.
50:04Yes.
50:05Yes.
50:07Yes.
50:07Yes.
50:08Yes.
50:09Yes.
50:09Yes.
50:10Yes.
50:12Yes.
50:14May the glory
50:15of Princess
50:15Seraphina of Valeria
50:17endure forever.
50:18May my little sister
50:20know nothing but joy
50:21all her days.
50:22May our Sarah
50:23be cherished
50:24by the whole world
50:25always.
50:27From this day forth,
50:28you are Princess
50:29Seraphina of Valeria,
50:31bearer of the crown's
50:32honour of our glory,
50:33of every pure soul
50:34in this land.
50:36People of Valeria,
50:38welcome your princess.
50:45I once believed
50:46I was the one
50:47who chose my destiny.
50:48Then destiny pushed me
50:50into a place
50:50I never knew,
50:52turning me into a baby
50:53abandoned in the wilderness
50:54with nothing but tears.
50:56I thought I would
50:57change everything,
50:58but the truth is,
51:00my father in this place
51:01and my three brothers,
51:03with their love,
51:04piece by piece,
51:05made me into the true
51:06Seraphina.
51:07This time,
51:08I do not choose
51:09my destiny.
51:10I accept it,
51:12because what destiny
51:13gave me
51:13is the most precious
51:15family in this world.
