08:55i know just focus on recovering i'll handle the rest thank god in the book the king didn't trust
09:01felix and refused to heal him he was even going to exile him felix tried to prove himself by
09:06infiltrating the enemy but he was framed as a spy and father executed him with his own hands on the
09:12battle he died screaming his innocence am i actually hearing this baby's thoughts

20:16julian refining alarak assisting and the lytx waking up
20:21so badass
20:25Alaric, bring Sarah to me. I 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, 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,
21:07titled the God of War, and lead our armies to victory.
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...
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!
21:35Oh, yeah.
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?
21:51I'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 Valeria.
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!
22:16Naraza 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 Narissa.
22:30She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
22:33Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up?
22:36Looks like Narissa's little act is falling apart.
22:39As for Sarah, she cannot go.
22:40I will stay at the palace to protect her personally.
22:44Are you kidding me?
22:45I take it back!
22:47How can you leave me here with Narissa?
22:49She'll suck my soul dry 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!
22:59Father, 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 will be crowned this year's champion.
23:40Now, I declare, let the hunt begin!
23:52Narissa?
23:54What are you doing here?
23:57You three must have pitied me so it 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 so 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!
24:33Narissa!
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, I certainly do.
24:45Narissa!
24:46Since your brothers don't cherish you, come 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.
25:01Fine.
25:01I'll go without Sebastian for now and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
25:05Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian.
25:08Let's go.
25:17Four 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.
25:29Narissa said it's specific for Felix because 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.
25:51Julian, do you have any treasures that can break through a labyrinth seal?
25:53Well, it seems completely useless against the seal taint with dark magic.
25:57Of course it won't work.
25:59The forest's guardian, the sacred stag, has been trapped by the wicked array they set up beforehand.
26:04With the stag trapped, the forest's purication is gone.
26:08If you guys don't find the stag and break the seal by midnight, every pure soul in this forest will
26:13become fuel for Narissa'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, locate the stag directly.
26:23Don't be afraid, Sarah.
26:25As long as we're here, we won't let anything happen to you.
26:28Wow, 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 and the center of the array.
26:44The stag is trapped in a dark magic seal called the Eternal Cage.
26:51The poor stag.
26:53Those black chains are draining its life force.
26:55Brothers, 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, but there are only three of us.
27:08There's me too.
27:09The sapphire necklace around my neck.
27:11The Eternal Guardian.
27:13Its power is the perfect counter for this evil stuff.
27:16Just throw it over.
27:17Sarah, this 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.
27:46What do you know?
27:47You think they've won just because they freed that stag?
27:50That was the trap within the trap.
27:52The 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, the curse triggers.
28:00Just watch.
28:02They'll all be dead within seconds.
28:09Stop, stop, Alaric.
28:11Don't go any closer.
28:12That stag is a time bomb.
28:14Nerisha 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, Alaric.
28:47My God.
28:48The sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own.
28:52It's a soul covenant.
28:53From now on, the power of this entire forest belongs to her.
28:57As long as she stands on this land, she 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, you can speak!
29:23I can actually talk!
29:25Finally!
29:26All the things I've been screaming in my head, I can finally say them out loud!
29:31How 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.
29:56Volodia has won this year's hunt.
30:03Father, father, save me!
30:06Sebastian tricked me!
30:07He wants to kill me!
30:08Finally, this moment.
30:11After holding it in for so long.
30:12This time I am saying it out loud.
30:13This time I am saying it out loud!
30:16This gentle, kind, at Prince Enoris, she is, in truth, a witch who has practiced dark magic for many years.
30:23Before this hunt, she forced her dark magic past its limit, hoping to wipe out my brothers in the forest.
30:29But the forest's pure energy turned against her.
30:32And now, every ounce of her power is gone.
30:37Felix poisoning, a Julian's framing, all those strange events in the palace, it was all your dying.
30:48So what if it was?
30:50All of this was supposed to be mine.
30:53Father's love, the princess's devotion, the fate of the kingdom, until that filthy thing from the wilderness appeared.
31:00She stole my destiny.
31:02She took everything that was supposed to be mine.
31:05I did not steal your destiny.
31:07You chose your own path of no return.
31:11If I cannot have anything, then you shall have nothing in either!
31:16Oh no!
31:18Sarah!
31:37Sarah!
31:37Sarah!
31:41Open your eyes!
31:42You vile witch!
31:46She's dead!
31:47She's dead!
31:48My 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 can this be undone?
32:06The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force.
32:09It will not lift until that magic naturally fades, or unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess.
32:20Today you have wielded dark magic, poisoned the royal house, and struck down my own daughter.
32:25I hereby decree, you are stripped of your status as a ward of Valoria, and of every title bestowed upon
32:30you!
32:30From this day forth, you are banished from this kingdom, never to return!
32:35Father!
32:36One day you will regret this!
32:40Home.
32:42Let us go home.
32:46Little one, let me hear your voice one more time, please.
32:54Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her to undo the curse with her own hands!
32:58It's no use.
32:59Her magic is gone, she can do nothing now.
33:01From 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, so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:13Hmm.
33:14Why 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?
33:37Has Sarah woken?
33:38Hmm.
33:39Do 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, you need your rain.
33:48I'm dressed.
33:50Sarah.
33:52My Sarah.
33:54You're still here.
33:58Sarah, I caught you a spirit squirrel from the holy mountains of the north.
34:02They say its call brings joy to whoever hears it.
34:05It's so noisy!
34:07Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:10Out, out, out!
34:11You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days.
34:17It's fine.
34:18Why 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, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later, only then driven to her
34:38dead 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, how do I wake up?
34:59Let 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.
35:16That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:21Only when Nerissa walks her original fate to the end will I have any chance of waking.
35:27But I 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.
35:42My 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.
36:03Nerissa 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, what brings you here?
36:24Your Highness.
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:28Ha ha ha ha ha!
36:29You?
36:30A powerless wretch?
36:31With 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.
36:41What thing?
36:42The gift of prophecy.
36:44I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
36:48Words alone prove nothing.
36:51If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
36:55Tell me how, Your Highness.
36:57I will do anything.
36:58I may have lost my magic, but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered.
37:04That is enough.
37:09In the original story, Nerissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
37:16Sebastian.
37:21Serra said there is a spy of Nerissa's inside the palace, feeding intelligence to Sebastian.
37:26As I expected.
37:28A stable boy in the palace named Marcus.
37:31Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed.
37:35Each time by a different route at a different hour.
37:39Seize him.
37:40Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no.
37:45He is our finest tool for sending Nerissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Nerissa exactly the intelligence she craves.
37:56Your Highness.
37:57This woman's origins are dubious.
38:00Will you really entrust military secrets to her prophecies?
38:04I want to see for myself whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny.
38:10Speak.
38:11Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month.
38:15My ministers will record every word.
38:18In seven days, Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier, with Prince Julian personally overseeing the
38:26supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates, and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
38:33In other words, on the 8th of next month, Valeria will be an empty city, defended 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.
38:53And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited, for 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.
39:14If the spy sees what Nerissa said, word for word, Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:19But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:24Your highness, every word Princess Nerissa spake is true.
39:32Excellent.
39:32What a goddess of prophecy.
39:35Issue my command.
39:35In ten days, our army marches.
39:38We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike.
39:46Help me seize Valeria.
39:49And I shall make you my queen.
39:51Foolish man.
39:52Once I am your queen and bear your son, all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:05Felix, the enemy is too strong.
40:07We are not prepared.
40:08Per the plan, retreat.
40:10Abandon the city and fall back to the second line of defense.
40:23A glorious first victory, your highness.
40:27Let me toast you.
40:29You are far more useful than I expected.
40:32Your highness, I have seen another vision.
40:35In three days, only Prince Alaric will hold Valeria's second line of defense.
40:41Prince Julian will have already retreated to the capital.
40:44If your highness leads the raid in person, Prince Alaric can be captured in a single strike.
40:52Alaric, that hordy, cold-faced heir of Valeria.
40:56I shall have him groveling at my feet.
41:01Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric, heir of Valeria.
41:11Surprised are you?
41:12Tonight I come for your head!
41:23Welcome.
41:32An empty city, just as she said.
41:35Neressa, this time I shall reward you handsomely.
41:44From this day forth, Valeria's second defense line also belongs to me!
41:52The proud heir of Valeria kneeling at my feet.
41:55How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself.
41:59I came precisely because I wanted to.
42:13Impossible.
42:14The intelligence clearly stated Valeria's main force was still in the capital.
42:19Princess, Valeria's main army is closing in from west, south and north.
42:23Our line of retreat has been cut.
42:27My intelligence could not be wrong.
42:32You set me up!
42:35Not me.
42:36It was my little sister,
42:38who still lies sleeping.
42:57Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Sarah.
43:04We did it.
43:06No!
43:14You lying witch!
43:16You have doomed his highness!
43:23Impossible.
43:24How can this be?
43:29Speak.
43:30The child in your Bemi, is it mine?
43:34Your highness, of course it is yours.
43:42Your highness, this young woman is not with child at all.
43:47You wretched horde!
43:49You dared perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself, your highness.
43:53There is yet one more thing you do not know.
43:56Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan our father took in 20 years ago, from the chaos of war.
44:07What?
44:09A ward?
44:10I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown for a swindling woman without a drop of royal blood.
44:21Let me end her with my own hand.
44:23Stop!
44:24Nerissa is a fugitive of Valeria.
44:28Her judgment is not yours to deliver.
44:39Sebastian, crown prince of Viramont, you initiated unprovoked war and invaded Valeria, bringing suffering upon the people of both lands.
44:48By the treaty between our two kingdoms, how shall you be judged?
44:52Your majesty of Valeria, our king will cede six eastern border cities in reparution, plus 10,000 gold coins annually
45:01for 20 years, begging only for the life of our crown prince.
45:07So be it.
45:08Prince Sebastian will remain in Valeria as a hostage for two years to oversee the reparations.
45:14He may return home only after that term is fulfilled.
45:17Nerissa, you were my ward.
45:19I treated you as my own daughter, and yet you practiced the dark arts, poisoned my youngest son, framed my
45:25second, conspired against the royal house, committed high treason, and struck down my own daughter.
45:31Father, do you still not see?
45:34I was meant to be your only daughter, the only princess of Valeria.
45:39Your son's devotion, your tender love, the fate of this kingdom, all of it was meant to be mine!
45:47Until that filthy thing from the Underless appeared.
45:50She stole my place!
45:52She took the destiny that was supposed to be mine!
45:55From the day you first touched dark magic, you ceased to be my daughter.
46:00By the laws of Valeria, one who wields dark magic and conspires against the crown shall be stripped of all
46:06titles, exiled to the Frozen Islands, never to return.
46:10No! Not the Frozen Islands!
46:13All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:15All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:17Was supposed to be mine!
46:29Your Highness, tomorrow is the Little Princess's coronation.
46:33His Majesty has decreed, tonight, no one is to keep vigil.
46:37He will sit with her alone.
46:39Very well.
46:44Little one, tomorrow is your coronation.
46:46In these past few years, father has aged greatly.
46:50Coronation?
46:51Me?
46:52I've slept so long.
46:55The story should have returned to its course long ago.
46:59Why have I not woken?
47:00What is still missing?
47:02What is missing?
47:05My Sarah, tomorrow is your coronation.
47:09This crown was worn by your mother on the day of her own coronation.
47:12Her greatest regret, before she passed, was never seeing her own daughter wear it.
47:19Sarah, you have slept for so long.
47:22These past years, your father and your three brothers have done everything imaginable.
47:26Neressa is exiled to the Frozen Isles.
47:29Sebastian has paid his price and returned home.
47:31Valeria has never been stronger.
47:34And yet, there 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.
47:49If only you would call me father one more time.
47:52I would surrender all the rest.
48:04Father.
48:07Sarah, my Sarah.
48:09Father.
48:10Sarah has come home.
48:14I am not the heroine of this story.
48:17I am only a daughter, lifted from the wilderness by her father's hands.
48:21This time, I will simply be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return all night.
48:31I thought something had happened.
48:32Good morning, Felix.
48:35Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost?
48:38It's not as if I actually died.
48:42Sarah, you're awake.
48:44You're awake.
48:45Felix, my milk is going to spill.
48:50Sarah.
48:51Sarah.
48:52Sarah.
48:53Brother, I've waited for you for so long.
48:55Goodness.
48:56So much commotion this early in the morning.
48:58My eyeliner is going to run.
48:59Julian, when have you ever worn eyeliner?
49:02Sarah, the coronation.
49:04Do you wish for it to precede a schedule?
49:06Yes.
49:06Sarah is father's daughter.
49:09Sarah is the princess of Velouria.
49:10From today onward, Sarah 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.
49:26You have given Sarah everything.
49:29Father, Sarah once came from a place far, far away.
49:33But from the moment I woke, I have known my true home is here.
49:38Where you came from, I never cared.
49:41I only cared whether you would stay.
49:52My dearest little princess, will you allow your brother Felix the honor of escorting you in?
50:13May the glory of Princess Seraphina of Velouria endure forever.
50:18May my little sister know nothing but joy all her days.
50:22May our Sarah be cherished by the whole world, always.
50:26From this day forth, you are Princess Seraphina of Velouria,
50:30bearer of the crown's honor of our glory, of every pure soul in this land.
50:36People of Velouria, welcome 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, with nothing but tears.
50:56I thought I would change everything.
50:58But the truth is, my father in this place, and my three brothers,
51:03with their love, piece by piece, made me into the true Seraphana.
51:07This time, I do not choose my destiny.
51:10I accept it, because what destiny gave me is the most precious family in this world.
51:18I end up.
51:19I accept it.
51:24I accept it.
