07:19let's find him
07:21don't listen to her
07:23it's the other way
07:24she's lying so you won't find him
07:27and felix will be kidnapped by the spies
07:30if you don't save him father
07:32you'll think he abandoned his post
07:35you'll lose all trust in him
07:37and it ends with the brothers killing each other
07:40poor felix
07:41perfect
07:42this is the chance to see if this baby's thoughts are actually true
07:47father
07:48i saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction felix might be over there
07:53in that case split up
07:54search both ways
08:01to the left
08:03hurry
08:04felix is behind that cave
08:06he's barely holding on
08:08hang on felix
08:15felix
08:16felix
08:17we made it just in time
08:19don't worry brother
08:20i am here to save you
08:23i'm so sorry father aleric
08:25i was so panicked on the battlefield that i got confused
08:28i actually meant to point in this direction too
08:31that's enough
08:32we need to treat aleric
08:33just get out
08:49father
08:49there are spies in the border guard
08:51our secret passage
08:52the enemy found it
08:54i know
08:55just focus on recovering
08:57i'll handle the rest
08:58thank god
08:59in the book
08:59the king didn't trust felix
09:01and refused to heal him
09:02he was even going to exile him
09:04felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy
09:07but he was framed as a spy
09:09and father executed him with his own hands on the battlefield
09:12he died screaming his innocence
09:15am i actually hearing this baby's thoughts
09:17how can she predict the future
09:20father
09:21who is this baby
09:22i've decided to formally adopt her
09:24from this day on she is princess sarah of valeria
09:27what about
09:27nerissa
09:28she hasn't even been officially titled yet
09:30oh my god felix did you lose your brain on the battlefield
09:34you're still worried about that wicked woman
09:36you were hit by a poison arrow remember
09:39she's the one who brewed that poison
09:40she used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions
09:43father
09:45was i poisoned
09:46don't worry
09:48i will get to the bottom of this
09:54father is actually adapting that brit
09:56giving her a royal title
09:57i'm the only princess in this palace
09:59ever since that baby arrived
10:01nothing has gone right
10:02i didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence
10:05if i can't have her soul
10:07i'll kill her
10:08what are you doing here eavesdropping
10:09julian
10:11i was just so worried about felix
10:13worried
10:14i certainly didn't see any sign of that
10:16is it because i'm too clumsy
10:18do you all love the new baby now and don't care about me anymore
10:21unbelievable
10:22inviting a baby for attention
10:24i've never seen anyone so shameless

12:17julian have you lost your mind?
12:19julian
12:20so you're using the national treasury to entertain a baby
12:23i suppose your kingdom is nearing its end
12:26your understanding of wealth clearly differs from mine
12:29what you see as a national fortune i see as a single day's profit
12:33that's it!
12:34the eternal guardian!
12:36with this, no wicked curse or dark magic can ever touch me
12:41sarah definitely wants it
12:42that's fine!
12:43my instincts are screaming that treasure was meant for me!

13:35Alaric
13:35julian is being so mean to me

13:48since neither of you can afford it
13:50i'll buy it for sarah as a welcome gift

16:16he's planning to trigger a lava blurs to burn everyone alive and fake it as an accident!
16:23he's going to kill me!

16:34that's how at julian started his downward spiral into ruin! julian! don't let nerissa and sebastian destroy you!
16:41this entire mess is a trap they set up together!

17:03mr. sebastian!
17:03mr. did you forget this auction house is my property?
17:06mr. you are declaring open war on the kingdom of valeria!
17:11mr.
17:18Wow! Julian is amazing! He's a total beast! He looks so cool!
17:24I knew Julian was a genius in both business and magic!
17:28Did you hear that? Sarah definitely likes me more.
17:36Since Prince can't afford it, I'm taking this necklace.
17:41This is my official gift to Sarah.
17:43No!
17:45That's mine!
17:49That's mine!
17:50Oh 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.
18:06Julian, Alaric only cares about the baby now.
18:10You can't be biased against me too, can you? You used to cherish me the most!
18:13Look at you. Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewellery, all paid for by me, now that
18:19you mention it.
18:19I need to get Sarah a gift.
18:21I'm buying out every single item from today's auction.
18:24Send it all to the palace as gifts to Sarah.
18:28Wow! Julian is the best! He'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! Father and Felix look so cool making an entrance like that!
19:10Felix! You're finally here!
19:13They're ganging up on me with that little brat! You have to do something!
19:16Don't cry. You are my most precious sister. I will make sure justice is served for you.
19:24Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet. He's still under my spell. With him on my side, no one dared
19:31to touch me.
19:32Oh no! I remember now! Nerissa'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! The poison in that Felix isn't gone yet!
19:51Father! Alaric! Julian! Save him! He's being controlled by that witch again!
20:05Get off me!
20:09Oh my god! My brothers are way too cool! That seamless coordination was a perfect ten!
20:16Julian refining, Alaric assisting, and Militix waking up? So badass!
20:25Alaric, bring Sarah to me. I want to hold the little one too.
20:30I almost forgot about this old geezer. Don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to punish
20:37Julian.
20:39In the book, Alaric just tried to speak up for Julian, and this old man banished them to the Black
20:44Dormian 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...
21:20Enough! You're just ganging up on me!
21:22When my father finishes his meditation, he'll slaughter you all!
21:26Fine. Since you're so confident, we'll see you at the royal hunt!
21:29Let's see who kills who. Return to the palace!
21:35Yeah, mate.
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! Stay 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.
22:04All 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.
22:16Naraza 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?
22:35Looks like Narissa's little act is falling apart.
22:38As 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!
22:46How 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!
22:58Father, 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.
23:10Sarah is our lucky star.
23:12Who 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.
23:23Have it your way.
23:24But 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!
24:02Who 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.
24:36Father 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.
25:00Fine.
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.
25:16Bore 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?
25:53This seems completely useless against a seal tainted with dark magic.
25:57Of course it won't work.
25:58The 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,
26:11every pure soul in this forest will become a hero 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.
26:24Sarah, as 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.
26:37It's under that withered millennial oak tree.
26:40That'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.
26:56Brothers, 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, but there are only three of us.
27:07There's me too.
27:08The 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.
27:45What 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.
28:01They'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 is 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?
29:09Oh my god! I'm grown up! I can speak!
29:13Heaven has finally to its senses!
29:17Brothers!
29:20Sarah!
29:21You can speak!
29:22I 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.
29:55Volodia has won this year's hunt.
30:03Father, father, save me! Sebastian tricked me! He wants to kill me!
30:08Finally, this moment, after holding it in for so long, this time I am saying it out loud!
30:15This gentle, kind, at Prince Enorissi 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, and now, every ounce of her power is gone.
30:36Felix's poisoning, Ajulian'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!
31:17Sarah!
31:36Sarah!
31:37Sarah!
31:40Sarah!
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... there's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your Majesty!
31:57The little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic!
32:01She... she has fallen into a deep slumber!
32:04How can this be undone?
32:05The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force.
32:09It will not lift until that magic naturally fades, or...
32:13unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narassa,
32:16I 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.
32:24I 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!
32:34Father!
32:36One day you will regret this!
32:40Home.
32:42Let us go home.
32:46Little one.
32:48Let me hear your voice one more time, please.
32:53Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her to undo the curse with her own hands.
32:57It's no use.
32:58Her magic is gone.
32:59She can do nothing now.
33:00From the day father brought this little one home from the wilderness.
33:04Every 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?
33:17Sarah?
33:19I feel like I'm dreaming.
33:21But this dream feels so real.
33:24I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother, you heard that too.
33:29We heard it.
33:31It's Sarah.
33:32It'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.
33:47You need your rest.
33:50Sarah.
33:51My 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?
34:09Out, 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 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.
34:36Only then driven to her dead end.
34:39I exposed her too early.
34:40She 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.
34:48I bent the entire story by force.
34:52And now it's bending back on me.
34:56Then, how 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,
35:09and 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.
35:26But I am asleep now.
35:29I can do nothing.
35:31How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:35You heard her.
35:36Yes.
35:37Let 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
35:52and sought audience with Sebastian.
35:54Useless!
35:55Her magic is gone!
35:56Why didn't our men intercept her on the road?
35:58Felix, did you forget what Sarah said?
36:00The 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.
36:16Well, 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.
36:54Tell me how, Your Highness.
36:56I 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, Narissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
37:15Sebastian.
37:20Sarah said there is a spy of Narissa's inside the palace, feeding intelligence to Sebastian.
37:26As I expected.
37:27A 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.
37:38Seize him.
37:40Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no.
37:45He is our finest tool for sending Narissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Narissa 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?
38:03I want to see for myself whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny.
38:09Speak.
38:11Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month.
38:15My ministers will record every word.
38:17In seven days, Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier, with Prince Julian personally overseeing the
38:25supplies.
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's eastern frontier will be an empty city, defended only by
38:41leaderless reserves.
38:42Such precision.
38:44And how am I to verify this?
38:46Send your Highness' 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, and waited, for a thousand years.
38:59Narissa 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 Narissa said, word for word, Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:18But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your Highness, every word Princess Narissa spake is true.
39:31Excellent. 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.
39:52Once I am your queen and bear your son, all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:04Felix.
40:05The enemy is too strong.
40:07We are not prepared.
40:08Per the plan, retreat.
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, 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.
40:45If Your Highness leads the raid in person, Prince 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.
41:35Neressa, this time I shall reward you handsomely.
41:43From 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.
42:02I'm sorry.
42:02I'm sorry.
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
42:29could not be wrong
42:31you set me up
42:34not me
42:35it was my little sister

50:22may our Sarah be cherished by the whole world
50:25always
50:26from this day forth
50:27you are princess Serafina of Velouria
50:30bearer of the crown's honor of our glory
50:32of every pure soul in this land
50:36people of Velouria
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
50:55I 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
51:04made me into the true Serafina
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
