00:00:01I'm with a great beard out of the river.
00:00:05Wow, looks like I caught a big one today.
00:00:08Whoa, what on earth is this?
00:00:12Young lady, just take me back and you'll have endless wealth and glory.
00:00:18Oh my God, is this the legendary carp spirit?
00:00:26Help! I said take me back to the palace, not send me to meet the reaper!
00:00:33Oh no, he wasn't a carp spirit after all.
00:00:50Hey, old man, don't die on me!
00:01:04Still unconscious? Forgive me!
00:01:10The reaper.
00:01:13Turns out it's a woman.
00:01:17I'm sorry, old man. I thought you were a river spirit.
00:01:20From now on, I will never listen to those customers spouting nonsense.
00:01:27I am no spirit, but I am just as powerful.
00:01:34Oh? Anyone can brag.
00:01:36Who exactly are you, old man?
00:01:41Truth be told, I am the reigning emperor.
00:01:46I had an accident traveling incognito, fell into the river, and drifted all night.
00:01:50Luckily, you fished me out, young lady.
00:01:52You did a great service saving my life.
00:01:55As long as you escort me back, you can have any reward you desire.
00:01:58I can even make you a princess if you wish.
00:02:07Has this guy lost his mind from the water?
00:02:10My grandfather was like this in his later years, too.
00:02:13One minute he claimed to be a god, and the next he said he was a fish.
00:02:17For old folks like him, I know exactly what to do.
00:02:20You just have to humor them.
00:02:28Yes, your majesty.
00:02:29You're soaked through.
00:02:31Do you want to change clothes first?
00:02:38Right.
00:02:40Help me get changed first, then summon the imperial physician.
00:02:47Why does my face hurt this much?
00:03:06Uncle Simon, this old man fell in the river.
00:03:08Help him change into something dry, and lend him some clothes.
00:03:21Who is this old man?
00:03:22He can't even dress himself.
00:03:24I tried to help him, and he complained my hands were too rough.
00:03:39Tell her to come in and help me dress.
00:03:43You shameless old man!
00:03:46Asking an unmarried young woman to dress you?
00:03:49I'll teach you a lesson!
00:03:51Calm down, Uncle Simon.
00:03:53He's clearly not in his right mind.
00:03:57Palace maids have always dressed me.
00:04:00How does that make me shameless?
00:04:03Never mind.
00:04:04I won't argue with you.
00:04:20Maid.
00:04:21When will you take me back?
00:04:24Where do you live?
00:04:25The capital.
00:04:26What?
00:04:27Sir, do you even know how far the capital is from here?
00:04:32Then take me to the city.
00:04:34How do we get there?
00:04:36I wouldn't know.
00:04:38I have always traveled by carriage.
00:04:40This old man has really lost his mind.
00:04:48Goodman, let us eat first.
00:04:50We can talk about getting you home later.
00:04:55Besides catching fish, I am also great at cooking them.
00:05:10Smells delicious.
00:05:11Smells delicious.
00:05:11Erica, you have not made fish soup in ages.
00:05:13You must be in a good mood today.
00:05:16I pulled a drowning old man from the river today.
00:05:18I made this to warm him up.
00:05:19He is totally confused.
00:05:21He cannot even remember his name or home.
00:05:30Avert your eyes.
00:05:31How dare you stare at me?
00:05:50Have you heard?
00:05:51Erica took in an old man claiming he's the emperor.
00:05:55He has definitely lost his mind.
00:06:00Guys, have you heard anything about a missing old man lately?
00:06:06Are you sure he is not faking it just to freeload food off you?
00:06:11Just let him be.
00:06:12Feeding him will not make us go broke.
00:06:19These wooden boards are too hard.
00:06:21My back is killing me.
00:06:25He snores louder than thunder.
00:06:28How is anyone supposed to sleep?
00:06:31This fish and tofu stew tastes even better than the food in the palace.
00:06:35When I return to the palace, I will make you the head royal chef.
00:06:39Yeah, right.
00:06:39Returning to the palace?
00:06:41I think you're losing your mind.
00:06:42He is totally out of his mind.
00:06:44Stop arguing with him.
00:06:45How dare you insult me!
00:06:53I gradually realize the old man might not be crazy.
00:06:57What he said could be true.
00:07:13What would you two like to eat?
00:07:15We heard.
00:07:16You took in a drowning old man recently.
00:07:27You are looking for him?
00:07:32You are...
00:07:39Master, we are here to take you home.
00:07:42There are too many eyes out here.
00:07:44Please keep quiet for now.
00:07:54Master, these two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:02No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:06You see?
00:08:08I was telling the truth.
00:08:12Are they really your family?
00:08:14Why do you look like you do not know them?
00:08:19I command thousands of elite troops.
00:08:21I mean thousands of servants.
00:08:22How am I supposed to know all of them?
00:08:24These men must work for one of my sons.
00:08:26There is no mistake.
00:08:32Is he really the emperor?
00:08:36Our master is not right in the head.
00:08:39Just play along with him.
00:08:41I knew it.
00:08:42If he is the emperor, then I am the king of heaven.
00:08:47Master, it is getting late.
00:08:48Let's get going.
00:08:50It is already dark.
00:08:51You two must have traveled a long way.
00:08:53Eat something before you go.
00:08:57Let me tell you.
00:08:58If you pass this up, you will never find fish this delicious anywhere else.
00:09:14I told you it was delicious.
00:09:19Fair maid.
00:09:20You took such good care of our master.
00:09:22My master will surely reward you.
00:09:24Please come with us.
00:09:27Just take my boat.
00:09:28I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52What?
00:09:53What are you doing?
00:09:55Forgive us.
00:09:56Old man, when you fell off the boat, we thought you died.
00:09:58Who knew you would be so hard to kill?
00:10:02This is regicide!
00:10:03Your entire lineage will be executed for this!
00:10:06Who is behind this?
00:10:07Hmm.
00:10:09Ignore him, Wayne.
00:10:11Tonight, we will silence every witness here.
00:10:13No one will ever know.
00:10:19Ferris, please do not be reckless.
00:10:21I'm just a fisherman.
00:10:23This has nothing to do with me.
00:10:26Please just let me go.
00:10:28That's the price for sticking your nose into this.
00:10:30You chose to take him in.
00:10:31Anyone who was involved in this mess isn't leaving here alive.
00:10:33Shame about your talent for cooking fish.
00:10:35If you were smart, you would have stayed out of this.
00:10:38Let her go!
00:10:39Stop threatening an innocent woman!
00:10:46We've been spotted!
00:10:47Kill them now!
00:10:53Dammit!
00:10:55The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:20Look who is talking about crooked ends.
00:11:22I am a legitimate business owner.
00:11:24Powerless commoners like us must have ways to defend ourselves.
00:11:30Erica, how did you figure out these two were up to no good?
00:11:37I have run my river stall for years.
00:11:39The docks are full of shady characters and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:43When they saw you, it was not relief I saw.
00:11:45Instead, they immediately gripped their weapons through their bags.
00:11:47A murderous look flashed in their eyes.
00:11:49Simon and I noticed something was wrong immediately.
00:11:51Once the food was ready, we secretly applied sweeping powder to the rims of their bowls
00:11:54and the tips of their chopsticks.
00:11:56So when we sat down to eat, they suspected nothing.
00:11:58After that, I volunteered to escort them home.
00:12:01But I was actually keeping watch.
00:12:02If we had been mistaken, we would have simply apologized to their master.
00:12:06But since we were right...
00:12:09Well, we just saved your life again.
00:12:11Will you make me a lord this time?
00:12:16They actually want me dead.
00:12:19They've tried to kill me again and again.
00:12:22How could I have been so blind?
00:12:24Hey, please do not cry.
00:12:26A man of your age should not cry.
00:12:27I was only joking earlier.
00:12:29You do not need to make me a lord.
00:12:30Of course you will be one.
00:12:32Once I deal with those traitors,
00:12:33I will not only make you a lord,
00:12:35but grant you a hereditary title.
00:12:37Save it for when we get back.
00:12:38You are rambling again.
00:12:46Let's see you escape now.
00:12:48When they wake up, we'll question them properly.
00:12:50It is useless.
00:12:51Anyone sent to kill me is ready to die.
00:12:53Once they wake up, if they cannot escape,
00:12:55they will kill themselves.
00:12:56What do we do?
00:12:57We finally caught them alive.
00:12:58We cannot just sit and watch them die.
00:13:00First, I must return to the capital
00:13:02and find the commander of the Imperial Guards.
00:13:04That man is fiercely loyal to me
00:13:06and would never betray me.
00:13:07Come on, you were pushed into the river
00:13:09right under his nose.
00:13:10How is he reliable?
00:13:11And quit talking like an emperor already.
00:13:12You are just inviting the assassins to kill us.
00:13:14Goodman, you had better change your name.
00:13:15They are in the shadows and we are in the open.
00:13:17We must be careful.
00:13:23Call me Arthur Crown then.
00:13:25Why bother with a fake name?
00:13:27Just call yourself the emperor.
00:13:28This old man is hopeless.
00:13:37They are dead.
00:13:40I was right, was I not?
00:13:41Once their mission failed,
00:13:42if they couldn't escape,
00:13:43they were as good as dead.
00:13:45Besides knowing one of them was Jason Cole,
00:13:47we have no idea who was trying to have you killed.
00:13:49There is no need to investigate.
00:13:51Those with the best claim to the throne
00:13:52are the most suspicious.
00:13:54One of my sons must be behind this.
00:13:55Prince Dylan and Prince Eden
00:13:56are both lords in the capital,
00:13:58where their power is deeply entrenched.
00:13:59Only Prince Ryan, my youngest son,
00:14:01was exiled to a remote thief long ago,
00:14:03which actually makes him the safest choice.
00:14:04Prince, I have made my decision.
00:14:05I'll go to my youngest son first.
00:14:07The waterway is faster.
00:14:09Since Uncle Simon is rowing,
00:14:10he can take us south together.
00:14:29Arthur, how can you be sure
00:14:30your youngest son is not harboring a grudge
00:14:33and plotting your murder?
00:14:34You did exile him to that distant place.
00:14:40You do not understand the situation.
00:14:42Security around me is airtight.
00:14:44Anyone who could infiltrate the Imperial Gods
00:14:46must have enormous power.
00:14:48Ryan has been at his fee for years.
00:14:50He lost such capabilities long ago.
00:14:52Besides, my youngest son
00:14:54has always been straightforward.
00:14:55He's too honest to scheme against anyone.
00:14:58There's no way he'd rebel.
00:15:01So you are just exploiting a decent man.
00:15:03He had no share in the wealth and glory,
00:15:05yet you seek him the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:20People say this place is lawless.
00:15:23Full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:25Looking at it now,
00:15:26that is clearly not the case.
00:15:30This old man doesn't even know his own son's land.
00:15:37Excuse me.
00:15:38Which way is Prince Ryan's estate?
00:15:40Are you here for justice or just for grain?
00:15:44What is the difference?
00:15:46If you seek justice,
00:15:48His Highness holds court for an hour every day
00:15:50specifically to receive petitions.
00:15:52If you need food and grain,
00:15:54register at the local office.
00:15:55Anyone living in this district
00:15:56can receive rations for their family,
00:15:58along with seeds for their crops.
00:16:00Judging by how you talk,
00:16:02Prince Ryan really seems like a kind man.
00:16:06You must be from out of town
00:16:08if you have not heard of Prince Ryan.
00:16:10His Highness is the Emperor's own son
00:16:12and has been our great savior.
00:16:14Yes, every household has an altar to pray for him.
00:16:18We pray for his health and for his long life
00:16:20so that he may keep the people of this region safe and sound.
00:16:25I have not even earned that much respect,
00:16:27but this ungrateful son of mine already has.
00:16:29They even built altars for him.
00:16:59Are you visiting from out of town?
00:17:02Goodman, we are here to find Prince Ryan.
00:17:04This gentleman is a distant relative of the prince.
00:17:07We have come to seek his help.
00:17:08Prince Ryan, he's a really great man.
00:17:10He spent years building canals
00:17:12and improving the farmland.
00:17:13He transformed this barren wasteland
00:17:15into a land of abundance.
00:17:17He certainly did.
00:17:18He reformed the local government
00:17:19and kept the law in check.
00:17:21Life is much better for us now.
00:17:23We are all grateful for the grace of the prince
00:17:25and his father, our emperor.
00:17:28Ryan,
00:17:29I long forgotten son.
00:17:32If you head straight to his estate,
00:17:34you might miss him.
00:17:35At this hour, he's always in the fields.
00:17:37Just follow this road ahead.
00:17:39He is at the largest rice field.
00:17:58Which one is Prince Ryan?
00:18:09I expected someone much older.
00:18:11He is clearly a handsome young man.
00:18:26Father.
00:18:37This is outrageous!
00:18:40Traitors like these
00:18:41deserve death by anyone!
00:18:49You both have shown great honor.
00:18:51You saved my father's lifetime and again.
00:18:54Words cannot express my gratitude.
00:18:57Please accept my bow.
00:18:58You are too kind, your highness.
00:19:00Now that we've brought him safely,
00:19:02Uncle Simon and I are done.
00:19:03We'll leave tomorrow.
00:19:14You cannot leave!
00:19:16I will take you to the capital and make you a princess!
00:19:30So comfortable.
00:19:31I have spent most of my life on the river.
00:19:33I am just a rough boatman,
00:19:34always braving the wind and rain.
00:19:36I never expected to see the day
00:19:38I could live like a wealthy man
00:19:39with servants waiting on me.
00:19:47The emperor is super paranoid right now.
00:19:50He trusts no one.
00:19:51Except us two.
00:19:53So Prince Ryan has to treat us well.
00:19:58I recently introduced this new crop variety.
00:20:00This year's harvest will definitely double.
00:20:03The yield is high and the grain is excellent.
00:20:07Excellent.
00:20:08Feeding the people shows true leadership.
00:20:13And repaying what you owe is just the right thing to do.
00:20:15You have three days to return the farmer's money
00:20:17or face severe punishment.
00:20:19You are incredibly wise, your highness.
00:20:21You're a truly fair lord.
00:20:22He handles cases fairly and carefully.
00:20:25Very methodical.
00:20:28My calm, humble son, Prince Ryan
00:20:32has actually achieved such great things
00:20:35here in this remote land.
00:20:38I completely misjudged him before.
00:20:48Erica, add more chili peppers.
00:20:51Well, I absolutely love your bold local dishes.
00:20:55They are far better than palace feasts.
00:20:58You got it.
00:20:59Just wait and see.
00:21:00I guarantee it will make you sweat.
00:21:08What are the prince and that man doing?
00:21:11Look away.
00:21:12Pretend you saw nothing.
00:21:16Erica, just look at this scene.
00:21:18The father is peeling garlic,
00:21:20the son is chopping wood,
00:21:22and the wife is cooking.
00:21:24You three look just like a family.
00:21:32Uncle Simon, stop talking nonsense.
00:21:34His Highness is royalty.
00:21:36I am just an ordinary fisher.
00:21:37We belong to different worlds.
00:21:41If word of this gets out,
00:21:42we could lose our heads.
00:22:02Sigh, why has my escort not arrived yet?
00:22:06Assassins keep coming in waves.
00:22:08I am going to die out here sooner or later.
00:22:20Kill them all!
00:22:21Leave no one alive!
00:22:24Leave my father alone!
00:22:37Protect me!
00:22:39I am going to die.
00:22:51I am going to die.
00:22:51I am going to die.
00:22:52I am going to die.
00:23:00Fall back!
00:23:02Fall back!
00:23:10Ryan, my dear son!
00:23:13Are you hurt?
00:23:14I am fine.
00:23:17As long as you are safe, father.
00:23:36My son, your life is too precious.
00:23:39How could you risk yourself like this?
00:23:42Quickly, send someone else to protect me.
00:23:51Father, your life is the one that truly matters.
00:23:54As your son and your subject,
00:23:55I would gladly give my life for you.
00:23:56Nonsense!
00:23:57Stop talking about dying!
00:23:58You will rule the Empire one day!
00:24:00How can you just die?
00:24:08I...
00:24:10I will take my leave now.
00:24:18Sigh.
00:24:20What a blockhead.
00:24:21Shouldn't he swear his loyalty right now
00:24:23and at least pretend to decline?
00:24:24No wonder he has been stuck in this wasteland
00:24:26and forgotten by everyone all these years.
00:24:34Erica.
00:24:35For the past few days,
00:24:37I have been meaning to ask you.
00:24:39Do you want to be a princess?
00:24:41Or do you want to be my daughter-in-law?
00:24:44So his majesty actually heard
00:24:46what Uncle Simon said that day.
00:24:50No offense, your majesty,
00:24:51but I have no desire to live a life
00:24:53full of constant fear.
00:24:54If you truly wish to reward me,
00:24:56just give me some food and money.
00:24:57I would rather live a free and easy life.
00:25:08You make a fair point.
00:25:10If you actually became my daughter-in-law,
00:25:12it would be highly improper
00:25:13to have you cook fish for me every day.
00:25:20He's always thinking about his next meal.
00:25:22What a gluttonous old man.
00:25:33If anyone dares to harm our prince,
00:25:35we will fight them to the death.
00:25:37That is right.
00:25:38Protect the prince
00:25:39and protect the emperor.
00:25:41Charge!
00:25:57With a defense like this,
00:25:59not even a single fly could get through.
00:26:14After two weeks of such a massive search,
00:26:17the imperial escort has finally arrived.
00:26:30Your majesty,
00:26:32now that you're safe,
00:26:34I can finally rest in peace.
00:26:40That is enough.
00:26:41Stop all this weeping.
00:26:43If anyone deserves thanks,
00:26:44it's Erica.
00:26:46Without her,
00:26:46I'd be dead ten times over.
00:26:59Thank you for saving the life of the emperor.
00:27:01I shall never forget your kindness.
00:27:03It was nothing.
00:27:04Please stand up, Commander Wood.
00:27:19Listen to my decree.
00:27:21We return to the capital at once.
00:27:28Ryan.
00:27:31You shall return with me.
00:27:33I shall return with me.
00:27:36I obey your command, Father.
00:27:43Your highness.
00:27:45Please return to us soon.
00:27:48We cannot bear to see you leave.
00:27:57My fellow citizens,
00:27:59do not be sad.
00:28:01I will send an official of great integrity.
00:28:04I'll send an upright official
00:28:05who will treat everyone like family.
00:28:09As for Prince Ryan,
00:28:11the one you all admire,
00:28:12one thief is too small for his ambitions.
00:28:16I will entrust him with far greater duties.
00:28:20I hope he will not fail my expectations.
00:28:29It seems Prince Ryan is destined for greatness.
00:28:51It seems Prince Ryan is destined for greatness.
00:28:57I remember our first few days
00:28:58at the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:29:00That blockhead always came to me
00:29:02for advice on dealing with his father.
00:29:12He is your own father.
00:29:13How can you not know his temper
00:29:15and preferences?
00:29:22He is the Supreme Emperor.
00:29:24I, however, am just a neglected prince.
00:29:29I hardly saw my father's face growing up.
00:29:33But I notice how you interact with him, Erica,
00:29:36speaking so freely.
00:29:39Even Prince Dylan and Prince Eden,
00:29:41his favorites,
00:29:42never dare to be so casual
00:29:43in the presence of our father.
00:29:45Do you have a secret for this?
00:29:48Not a secret at all.
00:29:50I just treat the emperor
00:29:51like any ordinary elder.
00:29:53Think of how commoners
00:29:55treat the elders in their family.
00:29:57And I treat the emperor the same way.
00:30:00I understand now.
00:30:11Ryan, what are you doing?
00:30:13When a father is in danger,
00:30:14a son belongs by his side
00:30:16to protect him.
00:30:26Having the trust and gratitude
00:30:28of the emperor and his heir,
00:30:30a life of luxury is surely guaranteed.
00:30:32They might even grant you
00:30:33the title of the official imperial fisher.
00:30:56Your majesty!
00:31:04Why the panic?
00:31:07Prince Dylan has rebelled!
00:31:09The rebel forces have blocked
00:31:11every path to the capital.
00:31:13Prince Eden has proclaimed himself king.
00:31:21You treacherous sons!
00:31:23While I was away,
00:31:25is this how you guard
00:31:26the capital for me?
00:31:32I deserve death.
00:31:34Since the emperor
00:31:35was missing in the river,
00:31:36the factions in court
00:31:37have already splintered.
00:31:38Prince Dylan intends
00:31:39to seize the throne,
00:31:40while Prince Eden
00:31:41waits to profit from the chaos.
00:31:47A foolish dream!
00:31:49Those ungrateful
00:31:51and arrogant sons!
00:31:52Do they think
00:31:53that my empire
00:31:54can be toppled so easily?
00:31:59Your majesty,
00:32:01I anticipated this.
00:32:02I took the tiger tally
00:32:04from the capital.
00:32:05Once we escape this place,
00:32:06we can summon the troops
00:32:07to crush the rebellion.
00:32:09Good.
00:32:10Good.
00:32:11Where is the nearest
00:32:12army?
00:32:13The Mountain City Army
00:32:15is three days away.
00:32:18Father,
00:32:18the rebels of Prince Dylan
00:32:20have sealed every road
00:32:21out of this fief.
00:32:22We cannot leave by land.
00:32:23Our only chance
00:32:24is to take the river.
00:32:28However...
00:32:28However what?
00:32:29The Imperial Guards
00:32:30are all landlubbers
00:32:31from the capital.
00:32:32They only know how to fight
00:32:32on land.
00:32:33None of them can handle a boat.
00:32:35If we are caught
00:32:36on the river,
00:32:37we will...
00:32:38...
00:32:38...
00:32:42why are you all
00:32:43staring at me?
00:32:44Surely you do not expect
00:32:46a lowly fisher
00:32:47to perform a miracle?
00:32:51Honestly,
00:32:52the Imperial Gold
00:32:53is not easily earned.
00:32:56I cannot simply watch
00:32:57my father face
00:32:58such peril.
00:32:59I will protect him
00:33:00as we fight
00:33:01our way out.
00:33:03Ryan,
00:33:04my dear son.
00:33:08I shall protect
00:33:09the Emperor
00:33:09and the Prince
00:33:10with my life
00:33:10on our journey
00:33:11to the Mountain City Army.
00:33:13Sigh.
00:33:18Erica,
00:33:18please look
00:33:19at the situation.
00:33:27Fine, fine.
00:33:28Since we have come this far,
00:33:29I will see this
00:33:30through to the end.
00:33:30I always finish
00:33:31what I start.
00:33:32I will take
00:33:33everyone with me.
00:33:36Thank you, Erica.
00:33:38Thank you, Erica.
00:33:44I am in your debt, Erica.
00:33:57That boy is lucky indeed.
00:34:00As a Prince of the Realm,
00:34:02is he not a match
00:34:03for Erica?
00:34:04With the virtue
00:34:05and skill of Erica,
00:34:06any man would be
00:34:07blessed to have her.
00:34:12I have caused you
00:34:13much trouble.
00:34:17It is no trouble,
00:34:19but it is a shame
00:34:20that your Highness
00:34:20must live
00:34:21as a lowly fisherman
00:34:22with me.
00:34:25In that case,
00:34:27please do not call me
00:34:28your Highness.
00:34:29Will you call me Ryan?
00:34:30As you wish,
00:34:31Ryan.
00:34:32Let's board the boat.
00:34:34Yes, my darling.
00:34:37Let's do it.
00:34:38I am sorry.
00:34:54I am sorry.
00:35:09You are a terror on dry land, but on the water, you are a pathetic mess.
00:35:15Silence. I will protect the Emperor with my life.
00:35:30Forgive me. I... I have become a burden to everyone.
00:35:38You are truly good for nothing.
00:35:45Get him into the cabin at once. Do not let anyone suspect us.
00:36:04Stay to your business! Stop the boat for an inspection!
00:36:16Officer?
00:36:17We are just humble fishers.
00:36:19We are taking the fish caught today to Lincoln Ward to sell.
00:36:49The river is closed today. Turn back at once.
00:36:54We have an agreement with the Tavern to deliver this fresh fish.
00:36:57If we do not deliver the fish today, the fish will start to rot, and we will have to pay
00:37:02the Tavern.
00:37:02Please show some mercy. Make an exception for us and let us pass through.
00:37:08I said no, and I mean it! A single basket of fish means nothing!
00:37:12Careful, or I will take your head!
00:37:21You useless brat! It is all your fault!
00:37:27If you had not insisted on this route, we wouldn't have missed the delivery!
00:37:30Now we are going to lose every penny!
00:37:39Heavens above! What am I going to do?
00:37:42I was counting on this silver to pay for my own burial!
00:37:45Now it is all gone!
00:38:00Father, please, that is enough.
00:38:08Officer, please show some mercy!
00:38:11The poor man is counting on this catch to survive until his final day!
00:38:15If this sail falls through, he will trade my life for his burial!
00:38:23Get moving! Move along!
00:38:24All that noise is giving me a headache!
00:38:32Ryan, do not take it to heart.
00:38:33I was a bit too rough with you just now.
00:38:35It was only a matter of necessity.
00:38:37However, this matter stays between the three of us.
00:38:41You must never mention it again.
00:39:01I am dead!
00:39:02I am so dead!
00:39:04Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:07Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:08Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:27All vessels and civilians are forbidden to pass!
00:39:31Stay where you are for questioning!
00:39:35This is not good.
00:39:36They must have discovered the decoy of my father.
00:39:38The five of us escaped in total secrecy
00:39:40after leaving one man in the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:39:42He posed as the Emperor to distract the rebels
00:39:44in hopes of buying us more time.
00:39:46Now it appears that the rebels have stormed the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:39:49They realize the Emperor was not inside
00:39:51and that is why they intensified the search.
00:40:20What do you think you are doing?
00:40:21You are not allowed to set up a stall here!
00:40:23Please calm down, officer.
00:40:24Since the river is closed today,
00:40:25we have nowhere else to go anyway.
00:40:27This boat is full of fresh fish caught today
00:40:29and they will all rot by tomorrow morning.
00:40:31Why not let me cook them right here?
00:40:32You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal
00:40:34and keep yourselves warm.
00:40:36Hurry up then, as we are all starving!
00:40:58Officers, you have had a long day.
00:40:59Come and have a taste of the fresh catch.
00:41:03We have been camping in the wild for days
00:41:04without a single full meal.
00:41:05I am absolutely famished.
00:41:06The scent of this fish is incredible.
00:41:08I will not be polite then.
00:41:09Your Majesty,
00:41:11why are you so well behaved today?
00:41:13Are you not sneaking a bite for once?
00:41:15Do not think I did not notice.
00:41:17All those fish were caught right beside the boat.
00:41:48Look, look!
00:41:53Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:42:07Jason Cole.
00:42:15That woman from the shady stall?
00:42:22So you are still alive after all.
00:42:35Stop eating everyone!
00:42:36The targets are here!
00:42:37Capture them at once!
00:43:10And you still claim you do not run a shady store.
00:43:12I will make you pay for this today.
00:43:16I will make you pay for this today.
00:43:22Ryan!
00:43:25I am fine.
00:43:28Well, I am not fine!
00:43:43Once he sets foot on land,
00:43:45he will be a formidable warrior once again.
00:43:47The prowess of the commander of the Imperial Gods
00:43:49is certainly not to be taken lightly.
00:44:16Your Majesty, I have come to save you!
00:44:20Move!
00:44:21Board the boat immediately!
00:44:23Move!
00:44:38Board the boat immediately!
00:44:42Uncle Simon, go!
00:44:43Go!
00:44:53Kill the lights!
00:44:55Kill the lights!
00:45:20Finally, we are back on my turf.
00:45:38They are hiding right here.
00:45:40The prince said that their capture would bring a massive reward.
00:45:51Perica, what do we do now?
00:46:03Perica, what do we do now?
00:46:03Your majesty, Ryan.
00:46:05Follow my lead.
00:46:22What was that noise?
00:46:31Help!
00:46:32There are river demons in the water!
00:46:34There are river demons in the water!
00:47:07There are river demons in the water!
00:47:31There are river demons in the water!
00:47:47There are river demons in the water!
00:47:52Chief!
00:47:53You have finally returned!
00:48:21There are river demons in the water!
00:48:29There are river demons in the water!
00:48:30You heard them call me that, did you not?
00:48:34You are a bandit queen!
00:48:38Nonsense!
00:48:39We are only the anchor crew!
00:48:43Hiding a band of a thousand thieves!
00:48:46Huh?
00:48:47Somewhere in a legendary mountain!
00:48:52Commander Wood!
00:48:54You have been reading too many heroic fables!
00:49:06What is the matter with him?
00:49:10His pride is just wounded!
00:49:13Oh?
00:49:14He tried to play the hero just now, but he did not expect that you are far better at fighting
00:49:20than he is!
00:49:27Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law, please don't give up on my hopeless son!
00:49:33Your Majesty, are you afraid of losing a daughter-in-law, or just afraid of having no fish to eat?
00:49:39A bit of both, I suppose!
00:49:47The great Prince Ryan would never fall for a wild woman like me!
00:50:12Charge!
00:50:13Charge!
00:50:14Charge!
00:50:14Soldiers, hear my command!
00:50:15Prince Dylan and Prince Eden have betrayed the throne!
00:50:19Treason of this magnitude shall find no mercy!
00:50:21Follow me to crush this rebellion to victory!
00:50:24To victory!
00:50:42The Emperor reclaimed the army!
00:50:44He struck the rebels at once!
00:50:46Loyalists rallied to the throne!
00:50:47They soon destroyed the power of Prince Dylan and Prince Eden!
00:50:50The Empire was secured again!
00:50:52Ryan was named the Crown Prince!
00:50:54With peace restored to the realm, the Emperor returned to the capital!
00:51:10Erica...
00:51:11Why did you choose to help me?ằnggluh
00:51:23So you figured out
00:51:24the truth, after all, me 911 Eat!
00:51:34Do
00:51:34not
00:51:34go hungry!
00:51:35long ago when i was begging with grandfather we passed through the territory you ruled
00:51:38you were just a boy newly exiled yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like
00:51:43us those with no home and little hope driven by that mercy i gathered my strength and fought my
00:51:47way north armed with nothing but my skill in the water and a stubborn spirit that refused to break
00:51:50i carved out a path through every hardship until i became the chief of the anchor crew
00:51:54our crew operates between light and shadow which is why simon and i often wore disguises we posed
00:51:57simple fishers and wine cellars just to seek out a few business opportunities i never expected to
00:52:01save the emperor by mere chance i did everything possible to keep him safe waiting for the right
00:52:06moment to bring him to you i only wanted him to see the truth for himself to see a prince
00:52:10who truly
00:52:10serves the common people and to see the perfect order you brought to this land
00:52:16everything that followed was quite unexpected i never thought the road would be so dangerous
00:52:20even less did i think you'd lose your heart to me your highness you are destined to be a great
00:52:27leader
00:52:27in the future knowing that makes every sacrifice i made feel worthwhile
00:52:35am i nothing more than a title in your eyes
00:52:51you are the man who will one day wear the crown you should marry a lady from a noble house
00:52:55i have
00:52:57a simple life upon the water fate brought us together but it was not meant to last
00:53:04once my only dream was to be a great ruler i would lead the empire with wisdom and bring peace
00:53:09to the
00:53:09people but now i wish that i were free to wander with the woman i love
00:53:22your highness you have your own path to follow and i have mine as well i am going to lead
00:53:27the anchor
00:53:27crew to become the greatest power in the world while you must carry the weight of your people
00:53:35i know that i cannot make you stay go now and i will watch you leave
00:53:50ryan hmm
00:53:55when you stood in front of me that day it truly meant the world to me
00:54:06forget it to hell with the rules i am the chief after all not some refined lady from a noble
00:54:11house
00:54:17yes
00:54:20yes
00:54:21yes
00:54:21yes
00:54:21yes
00:54:58I really thought that you would follow that lad to the capital as empress.
00:55:11I am the leader of the anchor crew. Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:55:33Anyway, I've secured a grand future for the anchor crew.
00:55:37A grand future? What kind of future?
00:56:06Chief! Chief!
00:56:10Look, so this is the future you promised the crew?
00:56:20Is this truly the child of the crown prince?
00:56:25Of course.
00:56:30Perfect!
00:56:31The future leader of our crew has the crown prince as his father.
00:56:34Who would ever dare to cross us now?
00:56:37Even the authorities will have to step aside for us.
00:56:48When the emperor and the crown prince returned to the capital, they asked me what kind of reward I desired.
00:56:52I did not give them an answer.
00:56:57Because the reward that truly satisfies me is something I have already received.
00:57:19Chief! Something is wrong!
00:57:21The soldiers! The soldiers! They have surrounded the dock of our crew!
00:57:36Just when we finally found some peace, is it possible the remnants of Dylan and Eden have come back to
00:57:40haunt us?
00:57:50There is no need for panic.
00:57:52This river belongs to the Watsons.
00:58:04It is a спасибо.
00:58:07Doubt Etienne is theưởng!
00:58:17The fire!
00:58:20The other pans andonia are theед I?
00:58:25The air is the condition that the castle is terrible!
00:58:28Erika, since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start showing symptoms by
00:58:32now. Your appetite must be quite poor. I searched the entire capital for this. Preserved Ginger is a miracle cure
00:58:39for nausea.
00:58:45Quite a grand spectacle, Your Highness. Bringing Ginger with the entire Imperial Guards? The Crown Prince has no place at
00:58:53this dock when he belongs on the Throne of Gold.
00:58:58The Throne of Gold is far too cold, and it is not comfortable at all. I gave you my word
00:59:03that I would protect you for life. Chopping wood and building fires is a skill I have truly mastered.
00:59:12Well, well! Do you all see this? The eye of our chief is truly sharp! The follow-up service is
00:59:20quite impressive! Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door!
00:59:36What are you waiting for? Since you are here to build fires, get to the backyard at once! Chop that
00:59:40pile of wet wood!
00:59:43Hey! I am going!
00:59:45What are you waiting for?
00:59:47Alright!
00:59:48All right!
00:59:50Hey!
00:59:51Hey!
00:59:58Hey!
00:59:59Hey!
01:00:01Hey!
01:00:04Hey!

01:00:20and insists that you review the matter you must make the final decision at least give it a single
01:00:23glance can you not see that i am busy the feet of erica are badly swollen today i must finish
01:00:28this pile of wood quickly to boil water for her foot bath he is actually boiling water for a foot
01:00:38bath to think the crown prince would perform such a chore if this news ever reaches the capital the
01:00:43old men of the censoret will certainly die of shame just leave the reports on that large stone once
01:00:55erica is finally in a deep sleep i will find the time to review them nothing shall interrupt her foot
01:01:00bath
01:01:00now chief chief look at that beggar over there

01:01:24erica quick erica quick i am here prepare for my welcome
01:01:40your majesty
01:01:42you belong on the throne in the capital why did you come here looking like this
01:01:51i am done with that throne it is so stiff that it is painful to sit on the palace food
01:01:56is worse than
01:01:56and tasteless dishwater erica i've been starving for three whole days prepare a bowl of fish and tofu at once
01:02:20now this is the flavor that i missed since i returned to the palace
01:02:24those servants have served nothing but the most bland and hollow meals they focus only on fancy
01:02:28decorations everything looks beautiful to the eye but there is no actual flavor within
01:02:30my sense of taste is slowly fading away because of them
01:02:40you are a distinguished guest but with that look did you run away
01:02:45from home or are you just slacking off on your duties
01:02:56who cares about that in this world of ours
01:03:00a good meal is the only thing that counts
01:03:03a good meal is the only thing that counts as the road of the river
01:03:05a good meal is the only thing that counts as the the food of the river
01:03:14erica i would like another bowl of rice
01:03:17Drench it in that fish broth for me.
01:03:24There is plenty of fish and rice for everyone.
01:03:41Erica, while enjoying the fish you prepared these days, I have come up with a flawless plan.
01:03:47I will fire the head of the Imperial Kitchen who only knows how to make useless radish carvings.
01:03:52You must bring the little one and come back to take charge.
01:03:56Once that is done, Ryan can finish the reports in the throne room and walk right over to the inner
01:04:00palace to be with you.
01:04:02I will also get to enjoy this tofu fish every single day.
01:04:06Life would be absolutely perfect.
01:04:19Your Majesty, I am the leader of the anchor crew, not some personal cook for your family.
01:04:33Leading the Imperial Kitchen is an honor that most only dream of.
01:04:38Surely it beats the harsh life on the water.
01:04:41I have several thousand members of my crew who rely on me to fill their bellies.
01:04:45If I move to the palace for comfort, do you expect them to pack their bags, enter the capital, and
01:04:50drain the national treasury?
01:05:05Father, the spirit of Erica is wild.
01:05:07She loves the breeze of the open river.
01:05:09She hates the high walls of the palace.
01:05:10And what of you?
01:05:11You are the crown prince!
01:05:17I have made my decision.
01:05:18I will simply work twice as hard.
01:05:21I can handle the throne during the day and return to this dock every night.
01:05:26Sean rose fast enough for the trip, so I will not feel any exhaustion.
01:05:32Your Highness, please show some mercy.
01:05:36If you travel back and forth like that, I am the one who will truly suffer.
01:05:40I am the one who will truly suffer.
01:06:09Your highness, your head is bleeding. You are injured, so please sit and rest.
01:06:15This little bit of blood means nothing.
01:06:20Erika is in far more pain than I am.
01:06:38Push harder, chief!
01:06:39I can see the head now!
01:07:00Congratulations to you all!
01:07:02The chief has finally given birth!
01:07:04It is a radiant baby girl!
01:07:07Both mother and daughter are well.
01:07:16Wonderful! I finally have a granddaughter!
01:07:20I have finally gained a sweet granddaughter who will never grow a beard like my sons!
01:07:31She is so beautiful.
01:07:33Her features are truly delicate.
01:07:37She looks just like Erika. She is the perfect image of Erika.
01:07:40Hear my imperial decree! Every one of the anchor crew shall receive a full year of funds for
01:07:44fish stock. This reward will come from my private funds.
01:07:47Send another decree back to the capital!
01:07:49Let the entire nation celebrate!
01:07:50I want every subject of the empire to share the blessing of my granddaughter!
01:07:59Your majesty, a nationwide celebration? The court will surely fall into a total uproar.
01:08:06Let them fume then, as no one dares to oppose me!
01:08:09Send any who disagree to argue with me in person!
01:08:12No!
01:08:14No!
01:08:33Why are you Ukrainians sitting here today?
01:08:33Let together, automating this meeting!
01:08:33Let him follow him like this!
