00:00:00After being hit by the princess's soul swapping parasite, I poisoned myself mute, ruined Valeria's most beautiful face, and then

00:00:06took a sterility potion, ruined her body and the chance to be a mother.

00:00:16So you like swapping, huh? Then I'll let you swap all you want, being poisoned mute, disfigured, and sterile, I'll

00:00:23give it all to you.

00:00:26As Leonora has no idea that I've seen this box in my past life, where inside is the nightmare that

00:00:34caused my miserable death, because in my past life I opened the gift defenseless but instantly had the soul swapping

00:00:41parasite pierce into my body.

00:00:56So princess, please swap back. My parents love me and my fiancé Preston is waiting for me.

00:01:02Dream on. For Preston was appointed as a general and granted a title at 17, so what makes you worthy

00:01:09of such an outstanding man?

00:01:11Well I'm about to be married far away to Northland.

00:01:15Serena. You. Go take care of those northern barbarians for me.

00:01:26Mom, I'm the real Serena, and Leonora swapped bodies with me.

00:01:30Princess Leonora, what nonsense are you talking?

00:01:32Quickly send the princess back to the palace.

00:01:34Let me go.

00:01:37As a princess, you are ill-mannered, so you will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane, marry into

00:01:42Northland in 3 days, and never to return.

00:01:48Life in Northland was a fate worse than death, with humiliation, torture, and trampling, living worse than a dog for

00:01:55three long years.

00:01:56Until.

00:02:02Preston, did you come to save me? I, I actually am.

00:02:06You're Serena, right?

00:02:08Your parents and I both know.

00:02:10That your parents are of lowly status, so to have a princess call them parents, do you know how happy

00:02:15they are?

00:02:15Who cares about you anymore?

00:02:17No, impossible, you're lying.

00:02:19As for me, what I wanted was your family's immense wealth and your stunning beauty, and now that you and

00:02:25the princess have swapped bodies, it's a win-win, as a beautiful body should be matched with a noble soul.

00:02:31Not you, a merchant's daughter with that innate filth and lowliness.

00:02:37No. How could this happen?

00:02:48Luckily, I was reborn.

00:02:50I have a chance to make new choices.

00:02:52Serena, what are you waiting for?

00:02:54Open it.

00:02:56Here's a wedding gift I prepared especially for you.

00:02:59What if I don't open it?

00:03:00I keep my parents, my fiancé, and all that happiness.

00:03:07But what's the point of staying with people who despise me?

00:03:11This time, I'm going to make a new choice.

00:03:14That is, send them all to their deaths.

00:03:18Your wedding with young General Preston is next month.

00:03:21As your sister, I should show some appreciation.

00:03:24So I brought it especially for you.

00:03:29Is that so?

00:03:31Of course, this is the perfect wedding gift I carefully selected for over three months.

00:03:36You're looking forward to it too, right?

00:03:39Open it now.

00:03:40Indeed, it's a truly precious gift.

00:03:43Serena, don't you like my gift?

00:03:45How could that be?

00:03:46I'm so honored by your highness's great favor.

00:03:49I'm just too touched.

00:03:51Just a little overwhelmed.

00:03:52I thought that now you're to marry young General Preston,

00:03:55you might forget about this fallen princess.

00:03:58Hurry up and open it already.

00:04:08You finally fell for it.

00:04:10What are you laughing at, princess?

00:04:12Is this bug the gift you gave me?

00:04:14Do you know what the bug that just flew into your head is called?

00:04:18It's called a soul-swapping parasite.

00:04:20A soul-swapping parasite?

00:04:22I don't understand, sister.

00:04:23Look at that stupid look on your face.

00:04:25Soon you'll be begging me on your knees crying.

00:04:28As the name suggests, it swaps our souls.

00:04:32Your body, that of the most beautiful woman in Valeria, will soon be mine.

00:04:37Ha ha ha.

00:04:38And you will take my place and marry far away to Northland,

00:04:42to endure the torment and humiliation of those barbarians.

00:04:45As for me, I'll wear your wedding dress, and step into Preston's estate.

00:04:50Your face, your identity, you're Preston.

00:04:53I'll take it all.

00:04:57Why aren't you angry at all?

00:05:00Or breaking down?

00:05:02What did you expect, princess?

00:05:05Serena, stop faking it.

00:05:07I'm gonna take over your body, and take everything from you.

00:05:11And you'll take my place, become Valeria's sacrifice,

00:05:14and marry those stinking savages.

00:05:17Don't you get it?

00:05:21Oh, I'm so miserable.

00:05:24Princess, please, don't be like this.

00:05:27Why not?

00:05:28I am a princess of Valeria.

00:05:30Yet I'm being sent to Northland, for a political marriage.

00:05:33To marry that old and ugly northern king.

00:05:36Father has over a dozen daughters, so why me?

00:05:39Do you even know how much I hate this?

00:05:42And you, with your face that surpasses all,

00:05:44even Preston is chasing after you.

00:05:47He was the perfect candidate for the princess's husband in my eyes.

00:05:51You, what makes you worthy?

00:05:53But the marriage is decided by his majesty.

00:05:55I can't help it.

00:05:56Shut up, you stole my man, do you even know?

00:05:59So you want to take my place?

00:06:00I have a lowly status, but the princess doesn't even mind.

00:06:04A lowly status is better than marrying far away to Northland.

00:06:08And you can marry the man you love, isn't that great?

00:06:10Then what makes you so sure we won't swap back?

00:06:13No, once the soul-swapping parasite enters, it's incurable.

00:06:16And these are the last two soul-swapping parasites in the world.

00:06:19Ha ha ha!

00:06:20It can't be swapped back.

00:06:22Then that's wonderful.

00:06:23Serena, can you feel it?

00:06:25That tearing sensation in your soul, it's about to begin.

00:06:34Stop laughing, it's too loud.

00:06:36How dare you say that to me?

00:06:38Wait, you.

00:06:39What happened to your voice?

00:06:41Nothing.

00:06:42Before we swap bodies, I'll make a decision for my body for once.

00:06:54Uh.

00:06:57What?

00:06:57What did you drink?

00:06:59Meeting potion.

00:07:01What?

00:07:05No, no.

00:07:07You're coughing up blood.

00:07:09Serena.

00:07:13No.

00:07:17Do you like the gift?

00:07:19Stop.

00:07:20This is my face.

00:07:21This is the face of the most beautiful woman in Valeria.

00:07:25How dare you?

00:07:26It's too late, Leonora.

00:07:29The final step.

00:07:30Sterility potion.

00:07:33No, no.

00:07:35How dare you?

00:07:36This is my body.

00:07:38My face was fine.

00:07:40You've ruined it.

00:07:42This pain, compared to everything I suffered in the great desert in my past life, it's nothing.

00:07:46Just a drop in the bucket.

00:07:48Leonora.

00:07:49Enjoy.

00:08:04Leonora.

00:08:04Enjoy your new body.

00:08:15You.

00:08:20Leonora.

00:08:21Don't you love soul swapping?

00:08:22I'll let you swap to your heart's content.

00:08:24I'm curious.

00:08:26With this broken body, are you satisfied, your highness?

00:08:31You're ugly and neat now, can't even speak, and you said you'd marry Preston in my place.

00:08:37I can't wait to see when Preston sees your face, if he throws up on the spot.

00:08:42Damn it, Serena.

00:08:43Just you wait.

00:08:45Ah.

00:08:46Now do you hate me?

00:08:48But this pain, is nothing compared to what I went through.

00:08:54Leonora.

00:08:55This is only the beginning.

00:09:04Help me.

00:09:06Serena is trying to assassinate me.

00:09:11Ah.

00:09:13Protect her highness.

00:09:16Oh.

00:09:27Your highness, I'm late to the rescue.

00:09:30I deserve to die a thousand times.

00:09:35What happened?

00:09:37Oh my god.

00:09:38How did Serena's face get like this?

00:09:41In my past life, they clearly knew the truth, but they still left me in the Northland to die.

00:09:45They completely ignored me.

00:09:47In this life, you can't blame me for being heartless.

00:09:50How dare you?

00:09:51You sterlings dared to instigate your daughter to assassinate me.

00:09:54I'll have father confiscate your property and execute your entire family.

00:09:58Your highness, please see clearly.

00:10:00I swear to heaven, that never happened.

00:10:01I would never dare to instigate Serena to assassinate your highness.

00:10:04Your highness, I've been wronged.

00:10:07Wronged.

00:10:08The evidence is conclusive.

00:10:10Do you think I would cut myself?

00:10:14Your highness, no doubt.

00:10:16It must be that rebellious daughter of mine.

00:10:18She's gone crazy.

00:10:19When she wakes up, I'll get the truth out of her for sure.

00:10:21Rest assured, your highness.

00:10:24I'll investigate thoroughly.

00:10:26I, suddenly, I feel a bit dizzy.

00:10:29Quick, take her highness back to the palace for treatment.

00:10:33Sir.

00:10:35What do we do?

00:10:36We'll talk after she wakes up.

00:10:38What the hell did that rebellious daughter do?

00:10:41She's even ruined her face.

00:10:43If Preston sees her like this, will he still want to marry her?

00:10:46The engagement's already set, and he can't back out now.

00:10:50Worst case, we add more dowry.

00:10:52Sigh.

00:10:54That's all we can do for now.

00:10:55Go get Preston first.

00:10:57Only he can protect the Sterling family with the emperor.

00:11:04Thank goodness, her highness is incredibly fortunate.

00:11:07The wound is not deep, just a superficial wound.

00:11:10Take it easy for two weeks, and you'll be good as new.

00:11:13I appreciate it.

00:11:15Your highness, this is the brood medicine the royal physician prescribed.

00:11:21Princess Leonora, you are summoned by the emperor.

00:11:25I see.

00:11:26This emperor has never liked Leonora.

00:11:29Why would he summon her then?

00:11:30Could it be?

00:11:34Oh, Leonora, Leonora.

00:11:36You really are an out-of-favor princess.

00:11:39Got stabbed.

00:11:40And your father didn't even come to see me.

00:11:43And now I have to go see him myself.

00:11:45This life.

00:11:47It seems from now on, in this palace, I'll have to watch my step.

00:11:51Otherwise, I'll die again.

00:11:56I was already out of favor.

00:11:58I only know the emperor's temper is unpredictable.

00:12:01His methods are ruthless and decisive.

00:12:03I must watch my words and actions.

00:12:15Preston.

00:12:19He dresses like a gentleman.

00:12:21In my past life, he had me completely infatuated.

00:12:25But actually, he's just a beast in human clothing, a bastard.

00:12:31Leonora.

00:12:34Father.

00:12:35Leonora, I have something to ask you.

00:12:38My dear Preston says you forced the sterling girl to hurt herself and then framed her.

00:12:42What do you have to say for yourself?

00:12:48Not good.

00:12:49That look in his eyes.

00:12:51The emperor is so cruel.

00:12:52He wants to use me to vent on Preston.

00:12:54It really is the young general of Valyria.

00:12:57Even the emperor protects him.

00:13:02Father.

00:13:03I don't get why general Preston would slander me like this.

00:13:07But what happened then the royal guard saw it clearly, that Serena, for some reason, suddenly

00:13:12attacked and stabbed me.

00:13:14Then, like a maniac, slashed her own face.

00:13:18While slashing, she kept saying she didn't want to marry General Preston.

00:13:23Your Majesty, Princess Leonora is lying.

00:13:26Serena and I have always been deeply in love.

00:13:28There's no way she wouldn't want to marry me.

00:13:31Your Majesty, I have evidence.

00:13:33After Serena was treated, the first thing she did after waking up was to write down everything

00:13:37that had happened.

00:13:38Please take a look, Your Majesty.

00:13:43Your Majesty, don't you find it strange?

00:13:45Why is it that Serena, who did the attacking, ended up more severely injured?

00:13:49While Princess Leonora, clamoring about being harmed, only suffered superficial wounds.

00:14:07So, Doctor, can Serena's face recover?

00:14:11Sigh.

00:14:12Miss Sterling originally had fair and delicate skin.

00:14:15It will definitely leave a scar.

00:14:20You have something to say?

00:14:21Get her a pen and paper.

00:14:30What?

00:14:31It's Leonora.

00:14:32She resented you for marrying me.

00:14:34She forced you to destroy yourself.

00:14:35Our family, the Sterlings, have always been kind to others.

00:14:39Serena's marrying well, that's her blessing.

00:14:41Why is the princess so vicious?

00:14:43I'll go to the palace immediately to see the Emperor.

00:14:47Princess Leonora has feelings for me.

00:14:49Everyone in the capital knows it well.

00:14:50But she wouldn't be so jealous as to destroy my fiancé.

00:14:53It truly breaks my heart.

00:14:55Leonora!

00:14:56How dare you!

00:14:58You forced an innocent woman to drink a muting potion, to destroy her own face, and even deprived

00:15:03her of the right to be a mother.

00:15:15Such dirty deeds.

00:15:16How could you do them?

00:15:18Guards!

00:15:20Father!

00:15:21We've always been like sisters.

00:15:24Why would I want to harm her?

00:15:26She ruined herself.

00:15:28Nonsense!

00:15:28What woman would willingly destroy herself?

00:15:31Well, that muting potion is proof.

00:15:33You can easily trace where it came from.

00:15:36Go ahead and check.

00:15:37Before the soul swap, I bought that muting potion openly at the pharmacy.

00:15:41Pedestrians and the pharmacy owner can testify for me.

00:15:44Also, I heard Serena say with my own ears that she doesn't like General Preston.

00:15:48She envies me for marrying into the free Northland.

00:15:51I think she assassinated me out of jealousy.

00:15:54If that's true, then the Sterling family has committed a grave crime.

00:16:00Your Majesty.

00:16:02Father.

00:16:03Serena tried to assassinate me.

00:16:05By law, she should die.

00:16:07But still, she is my best friend.

00:16:09We still have our bond.

00:16:11I can forgive what she did today.

00:16:13That Leonora is something else.

00:16:15She sets people up and gets away scotangent free.

00:16:17But why would she defend the Sterlings?

00:16:19The Elder Sterlings are getting on in years.

00:16:22If they get dragged into this because of their daughter, I can't bear that.

00:16:26But we can't let Royal Dignity be offended.

00:16:28The Sterling girl tried to assassinate the princess.

00:16:30If there is no punishment at all, the people might lose respect for the Royal Family.

00:16:35So I humbly ask Father to confiscate half of the Sterling family's wealth.

00:16:39Let it serve as a warning.

00:16:40This way, we preserve Royal Dignity, without taking any lives.

00:16:44It's a win-win.

00:16:45I beg for your approval, Father.

00:16:47The border situation is tense.

00:16:49The National Treasury is empty.

00:16:50And the Sterling family's wealth is quite substantial.

00:16:53This is a good excuse.

00:16:54The Sterling girl, Serena, tried to assassinate the princess.

00:16:58It is an unpardonable crime.

00:16:59But given the princess's mercy, pleading for the Sterlings, I'll show leniency.

00:17:03Half of the Sterling family's wealth will be confiscated.

00:17:06It will be used to fund the military.

00:17:08Let this atone for their sins.

00:17:10By marrying Serena, all that wealth would have been mine.

00:17:14Now it's cut in half.

00:17:16Preston.

00:17:17Swallowing your pride.

00:17:18Not so fun, is it?

00:17:20Your majesty is wise.

00:17:21Thank your majesty for the grace.

00:17:23My dear Preston, you may withdraw.

00:17:25I'll take my leave.

00:17:32Leonora.

00:17:33She's going to Northland for a political marriage, yet she still trips me up.

00:17:36I'll remember this.

00:17:38Now, the first crisis is behind us.

00:17:41But next, the biggest headache is the political marriage.

00:17:44I absolutely can't marry into Northland again.

00:17:48Leonora.

00:17:49There's one more thing I want to ask you.

00:17:51I will tell you everything I know.

00:17:55These words today.

00:17:57Who put you up to this?

00:17:59This emperor sure is suspicious.

00:18:01He's testing me.

00:18:02These are all my ideas.

00:18:05If you still won't tell the truth, don't blame me for being heartless.

00:18:13My good sister took revenge on me.

00:18:15Naturally, I'm angry.

00:18:17But compared to father's worries and the kingdom's fate, my little grievances don't matter.

00:18:21Oh, really?

00:18:22Then why only take half of the Sterling family's wealth?

00:18:25I figured taking half would solve the urgent military pay problem and not upset Preston too much.

00:18:31It's the best of both worlds.

00:18:33Not bad.

00:18:34You can sure explain yourself.

00:18:36So it's really your own idea.

00:18:38I've been underestimating you all along.

00:18:40The military pay shortage is huge now.

00:18:42The Sterlings are richer than a whole kingdom.

00:18:45I've had my eye on them for a long time.

00:18:46But that old fox went and married his daughter to Preston.

00:18:50Preston keeps winning battles, commands 30,000 iron cavalry, and is a true leading figure.

00:18:56If I ever wanted to go after his men, I'd have to weigh the whole border and all the military

00:19:01officers in court.

00:19:02Now, the Sterlings have handed me the knife themselves.

00:19:05This is our chance.

00:19:07You've always been vengeful, yet this time you actually begged for the Sterlings.

00:19:11Good.

00:19:12Very farsighted.

00:19:14Thanks for the compliment, father.

00:19:16Leonora, you're injured.

00:19:17Rest well.

00:19:19After all, the political marriage can't wait.

00:19:22Not a single mistake allowed.

00:19:24Thank you, father.

00:19:25I'll take my leave now.

00:19:31I'm grateful.

00:19:32I got you all that money, and you still want to send me off?

00:19:36The political marriage is less than half a month away.

00:19:38I still have time.

00:19:39I have to find a way to make my so-called father change his mind and regret making me leave.

00:19:46This morning, they literally took away half of our property.

00:19:50Half.

00:19:51They took so much.

00:19:53This is practically killing the Sterling family.

00:19:56Leonora twisted everything.

00:19:57With that mouth of hers, she can talk her way out of anything.

00:20:00If she hadn't pleaded for you for the sake of the property, right now, it would be the Sterlings' heads.

00:20:06This.

00:20:07How did it come to this?

00:20:08Enough.

00:20:09Stop crying.

00:20:10If not for our son-in-law's help this time, we wouldn't have even kept half.

00:20:15Good son-in-law, look.

00:20:17Your wedding with Serena, will it go on as planned?

00:20:23President.

00:20:25Preston.

00:20:26Your voice is back.

00:20:28We found the most famous doctor in the country to treat Serena.

00:20:32Now she can say a few words.

00:20:34The doctor said she just needs two or three more days of treatment, and she'll be talking normally.

00:20:39Good son-in-law, Serena's face will also get better.

00:20:43Preston is now my biggest asset.

00:20:45I must hold on to him tightly.

00:20:47Only by relying on him can I stand against Serena.

00:20:51The wedding is on.

00:20:52Good, good, good, good son-in-law.

00:20:54I'm glad you don't mind her.

00:20:56Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I've got some things to do, so I'll head out now.

00:21:07If it weren't for the Sterling family and the remaining half of their fortune, I wouldn't

00:21:12bother serving them.

00:21:14Serena has lost her reputation as the top beauty of Valeria.

00:21:17Compared to her, Leonora's way better.

00:21:20Itty.

00:21:20If only Leonora could be the legal wife and Serena the concubine.

00:21:24That would be perfect.

00:21:36Who's talking behind my back?

00:21:47That Preston, he's just a commoner, he's dirt poor, he's even willing to marry the disfigured

00:21:51monster from the Sterling family.

00:21:53But a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

00:21:56He was so vicious and greedy in his past life, so now he definitely won't let go of the remaining

00:22:00half of the fortune.

00:22:01Will you attend the wedding, your highness?

00:22:03Yes.

00:22:04Of course I will.

00:22:06With so much excitement, I have to see it.

00:22:08I'm really curious how Preston treats Serena and what his attitude is.

00:22:12Then I'll prepare the carriage for you tomorrow.

00:22:15What's your name?

00:22:18Your highness.

00:22:19I.

00:22:20I.

00:22:20My name is Qing Tang.

00:22:21I defended you.

00:22:23Please spare my life.

00:22:24Spare me.

00:22:24How have you offended me?

00:22:26I.

00:22:26I don't know how I've wronged you.

00:22:28But before I came to Leonora's palace, everyone said that if the princess asks your name, it

00:22:33means she's going to kill you.

00:22:34Is that so?

00:22:35Before me, Leonora's palace has already changed over 20 personal maids.

00:22:39Please spare my life.

00:22:43This Leonora is really vicious.

00:22:45She's out of favor, so she takes it out on the servants.

00:22:48No wonder she's unpopular.

00:22:50Get up.

00:22:51I'm not gonna kill you.

00:22:52I asked your name cause I wanna promote you.

00:22:55Promote me.

00:22:56From now on, you'll be my personal maid.

00:22:59Serve me well, and you'll be well rewarded.

00:23:03Go to the imperial kitchen and ask the chef what father's favorite dessert is.

00:23:07Bring me a serving.

00:23:09Yes, I'll go right away.

00:23:12Not many chances to shine.

00:23:15So I'll just have to butter up this so-called father first.

00:23:18Plus, there's something else I need to figure out.

00:23:21Your majesty, it's Leonora.

00:23:23I request an audience.

00:23:26What are you doing here?

00:23:27Come in.

00:23:32I've come to pay my respects, father.

00:23:34This is your favorite osmanthus and snow fungus suit, father.

00:23:37I worried you might be tired from state affairs, so I wanted you to take a moment to rest.

00:23:41Hmm.

00:23:43That's thoughtful of you.

00:23:46I also learned a massage technique to help you relax.

00:23:53Father, is the pressure alright?

00:23:55Hmm.

00:23:56Spit it out.

00:23:57You wouldn't come without a reason.

00:23:59What do you want?

00:23:59I have no requests.

00:24:02I just want to stay by your side and serve you, to be a good daughter.

00:24:06You mean, you don't want to go to the Northland for a political marriage?

00:24:12Father, I really didn't mean that.

00:24:14After all, the border situation is tense right now.

00:24:17A political marriage is our best shot.

00:24:19So I'll marry into the Northland.

00:24:21That will buy Valeria three years of peace.

00:24:23As a royal woman, I'm truly honored.

00:24:25Good, you understand.

00:24:26Father, I just think it's a pity.

00:24:28Once I leave, I'll never be able to return.

00:24:31Nor can I serve you anymore, father.

00:24:34Wonder if this guilt trip works.

00:24:36I feel the same, it's a pity.

00:24:38Every child of mine is dear to my heart.

00:24:41Marrying you off to that barbaric Northland is truly a last resort.

00:24:44Humph.

00:24:45If our national treasury weren't empty, I'd march on their capital myself.

00:24:48Capture the Northern King alive.

00:24:51Leonora.

00:24:52You're making a great sacrifice for Valeria.

00:24:55I and the people of Valeria will never forget you.

00:24:58Don't worry.

00:24:59Once we make peace with the Northland, you can come back.

00:25:01Yes, father.

00:25:03Easy for you to say.

00:25:04But why does it have to be me?

00:25:06Pfft.

00:25:06More empty promises.

00:25:08If those Northern barbarians could be tamed, would we even be at war?

00:25:11I'll follow your arrangements, father.

00:25:13Mom, you've really matured lately.

00:25:16I'm very pleased.

00:25:18Father.

00:25:19May I ask a question?

00:25:21Go ahead.

00:25:22If we give Valeria three years to recover, and rebuild its strength, can we completely destroy the Northland?

00:25:28March all the way to their capital.

00:25:31I never thought you'd care so much about state affairs.

00:25:34After all, those Northern barbarians keep provoking us.

00:25:37I'm outraged too.

00:25:38Actually, I'm just curious.

00:25:40Why was Preston in the Northland that day in my past life?

00:25:43Was he really that brave, to conquer the entire Northland?

00:25:49Absolutely impossible.

00:25:51It would take at least 10 years.

00:25:53With a strong national power, plus Preston's growth, only then would we have a 50-50 chance.

00:25:58No way.

00:25:59Then why was Preston there?

00:26:01What on earth is going on?

00:26:03Father, are we really without any chance?

00:26:05I hate to admit it, but those Northern barbarians, eating raw meat and drinking blood like savages,

00:26:11are all incredibly tough.

00:26:14Look at these memorials.

00:26:15More than half, say the Frontier's critical, resources are running low.

00:26:19At best, we are at a stalemate with the Northland.

00:26:21At worst, we are retreating step by step, losing towns one after another.

00:26:26Preston is just too young, and still not ready to lead.

00:26:29I'd love to just flatten the Northland.

00:26:31So, sending you into a political marriage is my only option.

00:26:36Leonora, this marriage is for the people of Valeria.

00:26:39I know, Father.

00:26:41I just wish I'd been born a man, so I could fight and lighten your load.

00:26:44Unless, another commander emerges, braver than Preston, or else there's no point.

00:26:50You may leave now.

00:26:51I'm a bit tired.

00:26:53I'll take my leave.

00:27:01Why the hell did Preston show up there?

00:27:03If I could dig up something on him, and expose it to the Emperor, maybe I'd have a chance to

00:27:08live.

00:27:10Thinking back to my past life, something was definitely off.

00:27:17So that day, he should've worn the royal silver-scaled armor, but he only put on light in her armor,

00:27:22and had no sword on him.

00:27:24His body was clean, no blood at all.

00:27:26He didn't look tired or excited after the battle at all.

00:27:29No way.

00:27:30Could he be?

00:27:32Princess, this is the bird's nest the Emperor gave you.

00:27:36Qingtang, for a famous general like him, why would he not wear his armor or carry his sword, and go

00:27:40alone into the enemy camp?

00:27:42He must have been captured.

00:27:43But if he was moving freely, what if he wasn't captured?

00:27:47Then could it be treason?

00:27:49You think so too, do you?

00:27:52Preston, I've got your weakness.

00:27:54I was just rambling.

00:27:56Princess, don't mind me.

00:27:57Oh, just asking.

00:27:59I'm, ah, working on a story.

00:28:03Such refined taste, Princess.

00:28:06Then I'll be off.

00:28:08If Preston's really a Northland spy, then those victories were thrown on purpose.

00:28:13And if in the future, Preston gains the Emperor's trust and military power, and coordinates from within.

00:28:21All of Valeria will surely fall.

00:28:24I'm a royal daughter of Valeria.

00:28:26If captured, my fate would be worse than a political marriage.

00:28:30I have to get to the bottom of this.

00:28:36Get out.

00:28:37All of you, get out.

00:28:40You can't even heal a few scratches?

00:28:43Can't even cover them.

00:28:44What good are you?

00:28:50Enough.

00:28:51You're getting married tomorrow.

00:28:53What are you doing making a scene here?

00:28:55Yes, the wedding is tomorrow.

00:28:56But look at my face, it's a mess.

00:28:58That useless doctor can't even treat wounds.

00:29:01And that damn maid's makeup can't even cover them.

00:29:03How am I supposed to face anyone?

00:29:05How can I get married?

00:29:07Ah, that damn Serena.

00:29:09Have you really lost your mind?

00:29:10I'm not sick.

00:29:11Hey, I'm warning you.

00:29:13Now listen up.

00:29:14Go find the best doctor.

00:29:16If the capital's doctors aren't good enough, call the royal physician.

00:29:19If my face can't be healed, I'll-

00:29:20Shut up.

00:29:21The royal physician?

00:29:22What if he can't heal it?

00:29:23What then?

00:29:23Are you trying to start a riot?

00:29:25Serena, you know these past days, our family has been fined half its wealth.

00:29:29We've already spent a fortune on your treatment.

00:29:31And now you want the royal physician?

00:29:32But that's wishful thinking.

00:29:35You!

00:29:35How dare you hit me?

00:29:37I hit you to knock some sense into you.

00:29:39We've been dragged down by you.

00:29:40We lost half the family fortune.

00:29:42And you're still causing trouble.

00:29:44That's because of Sue that damn Leonora.

00:29:46She spreads lies.

00:29:48Twists the truth.

00:29:49How dare you speak ill of the princess?

00:29:51If these words get out, everyone in the Sterling family will lose their heads.

00:29:56What kind of princess is she, huh?

00:29:58She's not worthy.

00:30:02The Sterling family will eventually be ruined by you.

00:30:07Tomorrow you'll be married off.

00:30:09A married daughter is like spilled water.

00:30:11From now on, take care of yourself.

00:30:14Serena, you used to be so well behaved and sensible.

00:30:17How did you become like this?

00:30:20Sigh.

00:30:20Serena.

00:30:21All because of her, I ended up like this.

00:30:24I heard Princess Leonora is coming to the wedding tomorrow too.

00:30:27Right?

00:30:28What are you up to now?

00:30:29I'm warning you, don't cause any trouble.

00:30:31Don't drag the Sterlings into this.

00:30:34What I do is none of your business.

00:30:36But I'm not stupid.

00:30:37I won't bring trouble on myself.

00:30:39You.

00:30:40Son.

00:30:47My title is the most beautiful woman in Valeria.

00:30:50Is gone just like that.

00:30:52Your voice has recovered well.

00:30:54However, it seems you're not too fond of this body either.

00:30:57Serena.

00:30:58You actually dare to show up?

00:31:00So what if I did?

00:31:01What can you do?

00:31:02If you lay a hand on me.

00:31:04It means you no longer want the remaining half of the Sterling family's wealth.

00:31:09After all.

00:31:10We're in the same boat.

00:31:13Why fight each other?

00:31:16Actually, I'm glad you came.

00:31:19There's something I've been on the fence about.

00:31:21I bet you're up to no good again.

00:31:26What is it?

00:31:27A chance for you.

00:31:29To avoid the political marriage to Northland.

00:31:31What do you mean?

00:31:33Think about it.

00:31:34You're being forced to marry into Northland just because father doesn't like me.

00:31:38I'm just a disposable pawn.

00:31:42If you don't find another way, you'll never escape this fate.

00:31:46What are you trying to say?

00:31:47You be the bride today.

00:31:49How about it?

00:31:51Just marry Preston, and he'll protect you.

00:31:54One of the reasons for your soul swap is Preston, isn't it?

00:31:57He's your only lifeline, and you're willing to give him up?

00:32:00Leonora, what are you really thinking?

00:32:03I'm desperate.

00:32:05I do want to marry Preston.

00:32:07But last time, you made my life hell.

00:32:10Now I'd rather make a deal with you.

00:32:12You'll be the legal wife, and I'll be the concubine.

00:32:14We'll both marry Preston.

00:32:16Just promise you won't mess with me, and don't pull rank on me.

00:32:20She's scared.

00:32:22She wants a truce.

00:32:23No, a vicious and despicable person like her can't be trusted at all.

00:32:28But if Preston's up to something, the evidence is probably at Preston's estate.

00:32:32With my current status as a princess, it's hard for me to enter the inner estate.

00:32:37Good idea.

00:32:39I accept.

00:32:42It's settled then.

00:32:43Before the wedding ceremony, sneak into the bridal chamber, second room in the back garden

00:32:47of the general's mansion.

00:32:49I'll let Preston know.

00:32:51But I'm the princess.

00:32:53Would it be weird for me to just barge in?

00:32:55It's your wedding day today.

00:32:57I'll wear a veil throughout the wedding today.

00:32:59You wear one too.

00:33:01Just say you're my maid.

00:33:02With this jade pendant, no one will stop you.

00:33:06Okay.

00:33:10This merchant's daughter has never studied and has no brains.

00:33:14She actually thinks she can get with Preston?

00:33:16I want you to disgrace the royal family.

00:33:19So you'll never hold your head up again.

00:33:21You dared to ruin my life.

00:33:23So I'll ruin yours too.

00:33:25Come here.

00:33:27Miss.

00:33:28Go find some street thugs.

00:33:35Yes, miss.

00:33:53Since the bridal sedan hasn't arrived yet, this is the best chance to investigate Preston's

00:33:58estate.

00:34:03I'm sorry, miss.

00:34:05That's the general's mansion back there.

00:34:07Private residence.

00:34:08No entry.

00:34:09Are you blind?

00:34:10I'm Miss Sterling's personal maid.

00:34:12The bridal chamber isn't ready yet.

00:34:14I need to check on it.

00:34:17Please, come in.

00:34:19By the way, which room is the bridal chamber again?

00:34:22The third room from the entrance.

00:34:34Room three.

00:34:36But Leonora said it was the second room.

00:34:39What's she up to?

00:34:47This room, the second one.

00:34:49Leonora must have set this up.

00:34:51Is it possible that she actually wants to marry Preston alongside me?

00:35:01So tacky.

00:35:02The prestigious general's mansion, of all places.

00:35:05How could they hire someone like that as a maid?

00:35:08Boss, it's here.

00:35:09Move.

00:35:10Let's head in and wait for the bride.

00:35:19Miss Sterling said the one coming is a concubine accompanying the bride.

00:35:23She's worried that since she's disfigured, she can't compete with her looks, so she wants

00:35:28us to teach her a lesson.

00:35:30As long as we're quick and leave before the real groom gets here, we'll be fine.

00:35:34Then we grab the cash and head south.

00:35:37Nice and easy.

00:35:41Quite a plan, huh?

00:35:43I'm a princess now.

00:35:45If I'm actually ruined by these street thugs, I'm afraid the emperor will completely disown

00:35:49me.

00:35:50Good thing I kept my wits about me.

00:36:01Preston is the only master of the general's mansion, and he's often stationed at the border.

00:36:06I've checked all the nearby rooms.

00:36:08Only this room shows signs of being lived in.

00:36:11If I don't find any more clues, this trip will be for nothing.

00:36:18This bed should be made of agarwood.

00:36:20It shouldn't make such a hollow sound.

00:36:23It's a secret compartment.

00:36:32This, this is.

00:36:34On the 15th of this month, at the Battle of Guan Mountain, after three quarters of an hour

00:36:38of fierce fighting, three deputy commanders were offered for you to slay.

00:36:42Then our army retreated a hundred miles.

00:36:44This way, it becomes your 19th outstanding military merit.

00:36:47The emperor of Valeria will surely come to trust you.

00:36:50Stay calm and composed.

00:36:52When you are appointed as a general and granted a title, and the time is ripe, we can work

00:36:56from within and without.

00:36:58Then the northern gate of Valeria will be wide open, with no barrier left.

00:37:01So Preston is indeed a spy.

00:37:04There aren't many letters.

00:37:06It's too obvious, I can't take them.

00:37:20Who's there?

00:37:21Don't be afraid, I'm Miss Sterling's maid.

00:37:23I'm here to inform you the situation has changed.

00:37:26The wedding chamber is wrong.

00:37:27The concubine's wedding chamber is next door.

00:37:30Hurry over there.

00:37:30Got it.

00:37:31Leonora wants to set me up.

00:37:33I'll make you suffer the consequences.

00:37:43By now.

00:37:45Serena must be tortured to the breaking point, by those three thugs.

00:37:48I told them to pester her for an hour.

00:37:51Then I'll go in at just the right moment.

00:37:53Serena, you're done for.

00:38:05Good thing Princess Leonora didn't show up.

00:38:08Or there might have been more trouble.

00:38:10The real show is about to start.

00:38:12After this drama, I'll go back and tell the Emperor about Preston's crimes.

00:38:17Let's send the bride and groom to the bridal chamber.

00:38:20Serena, go on in.

00:38:22I'll be there after a few drinks with the guests.

00:38:24I heard Princess Leonora's coming today.

00:38:26I'll wait a little longer.

00:38:27Okay.

00:38:28That Preston really is heartless and ungrateful.

00:38:31How dare he despise me.

00:38:33Bastard.

00:38:38You've got some nerve, Preston.

00:38:40Just you wait.

00:38:41I don't believe you'll stay out all night.

00:38:44Don't be sad, little bride.

00:38:46The young general isn't coming, so we'll keep you company.

00:38:49You've gotta go to the bridal chamber anyway.

00:38:52Let's have some fun first.

00:38:54How dare you.

00:38:55Get lost.

00:38:59What are you doing here?

00:39:00Miss Sterling.

00:39:01Who's in there?

00:39:12Greetings, Princess Leonora.

00:39:15Greetings, Princess.

00:39:17I'm Preston.

00:39:18Didn't think you'd actually come, Princess.

00:39:20I came here today to clear the air.

00:39:22There were some misunderstandings before, but Serena and I have been sisters for years.

00:39:26She's getting married, so I had to come see her off.

00:39:28General Preston, the auspicious hour has arrived.

00:39:31Why haven't you entered the bridal chamber yet?

00:39:33Wasn't I waiting for you, Princess?

00:39:36Now I'm here.

00:39:37Go on, enter the bridal chamber.

00:39:39I've never seen a wedding outside the palace.

00:39:41I'm very curious.

00:39:44Princess, please follow me.

00:39:48Leonora is as arrogant as ever.

00:39:50Hey.

00:39:51Once we're in the Northland, you'll be tortured to death.

00:39:57How dare you.

00:39:59Get out.

00:40:02Who's in there?

00:40:09What's a show?

00:40:11You?

00:40:12What?

00:40:13What are you doing?

00:40:14I.

00:40:15I.

00:40:16How did this happen?

00:40:18She must be behind this.

00:40:20You all.

00:40:21Damn it.

00:40:25Serena.

00:40:26You owe me an explanation.

00:40:29It's her.

00:40:31She holds a grudge against me.

00:40:33She hired street thugs to ruin my wedding.

00:40:36Where's the evidence?

00:40:37If you have no evidence, then you're insulting the Princess of Valyria.

00:40:42Trampling on the royal dignity of Valyria.

00:40:46If your Sterling family messes up again this time, they won't even get fined anymore.

00:40:50It'll be straight to execution of the entire family.

00:40:54Serena, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:40:57Apologize to Princess Leonora right now.

00:40:59She's the one who did it.

00:41:01The evidence is right.

00:41:04Oh, too bad.

00:41:06Dead men tell no tales.

00:41:07What a coincidence.

00:41:08Just under some thugs' feet.

00:41:10I picked this up.

00:41:11Miss Sterling, this is yours, isn't it?

00:41:14So your lover is a street thug, sneaking in for a secret rendezvous on your wedding night.

00:41:18Oh my, how shameless.

00:41:20This merchant's daughter has an awful moral character.

00:41:23Nonsense.

00:41:26Enough.

00:41:27Serena, you're grounded starting today.

00:41:29You're not allowed to leave the General's Mansion.

00:41:32Preston, who the hell do you think you are?

00:41:34How dare you ground me?

00:41:36You married into the General's Mansion.

00:41:38So you belong to me.

00:41:39Don't you understand obedience to the husband?

00:41:42Hey, aren't you going to stop him?

00:41:44I'm your daughter, remember?

00:41:47Ever since you were disfigured that day, your personality has changed drastically.

00:41:51Arrogant, and domineering, it's time you got some discipline.

00:41:53A woman should learn traditional virtues.

00:41:56General Preston, we didn't teach her properly before.

00:41:58Now you can discipline her as you see fit.

00:42:01What?

00:42:02What kind of parents are you?

00:42:03Guards.

00:42:04Drag her out and lock her in the woodshed.

00:42:06Make her confess her relationship with these three thugs.

00:42:09Don't let her out until she does.

00:42:12Let go of me.

00:42:14How dare you treat me like this?

00:42:16It's all your fault.

00:42:18All your fault.

00:42:20Leonora.

00:42:21You think you've traded up for a great husband and caring parents.

00:42:25So go ahead and enjoy your new life.

00:42:29Sorry for the scene.

00:42:31Let's end today's wedding here.

00:42:33Show the guests out.

00:42:39Princess Leonora.

00:42:41Right this way.

00:42:45That Leonora is definitely up to something.

00:42:51I'm now the youngest general in Valeria.

00:42:54It's time to tell the Northern King that we can prepare the final plan.

00:43:09Preston.

00:43:10Preston.

00:43:10I know I messed up.

00:43:12Please let me out of here.

00:43:13Don't touch me.

00:43:14You disgust me.

00:43:15You're still mad at me about the wedding night, aren't you?

00:43:19Trust me.

00:43:20It was Leonora who framed me.

00:43:23She's jealous of me.

00:43:25A princess of Valeria.

00:43:27Jealous of an ugly woman like you.

00:43:29Preston.

00:43:29What do you mean?

00:43:30If I had known you turn out like this, I would never have married you.

00:43:33Just looking at this face gives me nightmares.

00:43:37You.

00:43:38You're so heartless and ungrateful.

00:43:41Then why did you marry me?

00:43:42Of course, to maintain my reputation as a young general and your sterling family's fortune,

00:43:47your parents wanted to hitch their wagon to me.

00:43:48So they have to make money for me.

00:43:50If it weren't for your good looks back then, and your immense wealth, why would I have chosen

00:43:54you?

00:43:55Did you naively think I actually loved you?

00:43:57So foolish.

00:43:58How could this be?

00:44:00The love I always dreamed of was all fake.

00:44:03Let me ask you.

00:44:04Weren't you and Leonora originally on good terms?

00:44:07Why did it blow up like that?

00:44:09Do you two have a secret I don't know about?

00:44:11Tell me, what did you do to Leonora?

00:44:14If it weren't for her, this time I could have used your injury to get a promotion from the

00:44:18emperor.

00:44:19What a shame, I was one step away.

00:44:21You.

00:44:22What are you trying to do?

00:44:23You can't kill me.

00:44:24You're just an ugly woman, so what if I kill you?

00:44:26Tomorrow, I'll say that you, unable to bear the ruined reputation, hang yourself.

00:44:31After killing you, I'll marry a new beautiful bride.

00:44:33It's perfect.

00:44:36No, no.

00:44:37You can't kill me.

00:44:38I, I am the princess.

00:44:40Princess, you're out of your mind.

00:44:42I really am.

00:44:44I am the real Leonora.

00:44:45That Serena is an imposter who swapped souls with me.

00:44:49What?

00:44:52Soul swap?

00:44:53Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

00:44:55Making up lies to fool me.

00:44:56I'm not lying.

00:44:58Think about it carefully.

00:45:00Princess Leonora, when did she become so capable?

00:45:03I used to be arrogant and domineering.

00:45:05Out of favor.

00:45:07How would the emperor listen to me this time?

00:45:10Go on.

00:45:10The soul swapping parasite took me three years to find from the southern border.

00:45:14I originally planned for Serena to go marry in Northland in my place.

00:45:18But just minutes before the soul swap, that damn Serena ruined everything about this body.

00:45:23No wonder that day Leonora was so eloquent.

00:45:26Turned out it was Serena.

00:45:28Interesting, really interesting.

00:45:30Preston, help me.

00:45:31Let's expose her together.

00:45:33If you take me to see the emperor and tell father the truth.

00:45:36Shut up.

00:45:37Do you think you have any usefulness now?

00:45:39The emperor will believe you?

00:45:41Then, what should I do?

00:45:43Do you want revenge?

00:45:44Yes.

00:45:45I want Serena hacked to pieces.

00:45:47What gives her the right to abuse my identity and power?

00:45:51Then do as I say, understand?

00:45:57March 9th, at Guan Mountain Pass.

00:46:00Just feigned a feat.

00:46:02Preston, now it's time for the truth to be revealed.

00:46:07Father.

00:46:09Serena requests an audience.

00:46:11Enter.

00:46:14It's late.

00:46:16Why aren't you asleep?

00:46:18What brings you here?

00:46:21Father.

00:46:23I have something.

00:46:24But I'm not sure I should say it.

00:46:26Say it.

00:46:28I dare say, Preston is a Northland spy.

00:46:31Do you have any idea what you're saying?

00:46:33Preston commands 30,000 Iron Cavalry, with outstanding military service.

00:46:38If it weren't for solid evidence, I wouldn't dare speak nonsense.

00:46:43Father.

00:46:45On March 9th, at Guan Mountain Pass, was there a battle.

00:46:49Our army won day.

00:46:50How do you know that?

00:46:51Today, General Preston married.

00:46:53I went to congratulate him.

00:46:55And accidentally, in the secret compartment of the General's mansion, I discovered secret letters.

00:47:00I only dared to take this one small letter.

00:47:02Without raising the alarm.

00:47:04On March 9th, yet there was a great victory.

00:47:07In that battle, Preston slew 3,000 enemies.

00:47:10I even rewarded him with $1,000 in gold.

00:47:12Father.

00:47:13Those 3,000 enemies were deliberately handed to him by the Northland.

00:47:16In those secret letters, what they recorded was almost entirely evidence of how they helped him earn military merit to

00:47:22gain your trust.

00:47:23You mean, all of Preston's military achievements over the years were just an act put on together with the Northland?

00:47:30The Northland made Preston climb step by step to where he is today.

00:47:34Once he has a large army, they'll coordinate from inside and out.

00:47:37By then, Valeria's northern border will be wide open, with no defenses left.

00:47:41But how can you prove that this is from Preston's estate?

00:47:44And how do I know you're not framing him?

00:47:46The emperor is suspicious.

00:47:48Without solid proof, he won't move against Preston.

00:47:51A mere note is far from enough.

00:47:53Father, if you trust me.

00:47:54I have a plan.

00:47:55It will make Preston and the Northland reveal their flaws.

00:47:59Speak.

00:47:59I dare to suggest that you use my marriage as bait.

00:48:02Hold a bridal tournament.

00:48:03You can announce publicly that Valeria is willing to add another political marriage,

00:48:06betrothing the princess to the finest prince of the Northland.

00:48:09But he must come to the capital in person to compete, as a show of sincerity.

00:48:14Those northern barbarians are always arrogant.

00:48:16Why would they come?

00:48:17Father, this is a hidden test.

00:48:19If the Northland isn't colluding with Preston, they'll definitely see it as a trap and dare

00:48:23not come.

00:48:23But if they are colluding, then they'll have nothing to fear and won't miss this chance

00:48:27to infiltrate the capital.

00:48:28They'll definitely come.

00:48:30A risky move.

00:48:31If the Northland takes the opportunity to cause trouble, wouldn't I be inviting a wolf into

00:48:34the house?

00:48:35Father, we want the Northland to think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

00:48:38Then we can legitimately detain the hostage, and also catch Preston's floor.

00:48:42What we should fear is that they don't dare to come.

00:48:47I'll stake my own marriage on this.

00:48:49Just give me a chance.

00:48:51Father, if I'm wrong, I'll gladly leave for the political marriage at once.

00:48:54Without any complaint.

00:48:57All right, all right, it's rare for you to see things this way.

00:49:00I'll allow it, but I have to warn you.

00:49:02If Northland comes, and there's no rebellion, and we achieve a great victory, the price would

00:49:06be the lifelong happiness of several of my daughters.

00:49:08I beg you, Father, to also give me a chance to select talents.

00:49:13Our Valyria is vast.

00:49:15How can we lack talents?

00:49:16Preston was groomed.

00:49:18I want to find a true young prodigy.

00:49:21Granted.

00:49:22Thank you, Father.

00:49:23I feel like you've changed.

00:49:25Are you really still the same Leonora?

00:49:27In the past, you were willful and reckless, short-sighted.

00:49:31But now, your insight into court affairs, your understanding of people's hearts, even

00:49:35the veteran officials may not match you.

00:49:38Father, because I'm about to marry far away to Northland, I have to leave your protection

00:49:43and force myself to grow up.

00:49:47I only want to prove that I am not a burden to Valyria.

00:49:51If you can truly accomplish this, I certainly won't send you to a political marriage.

00:49:55This is my token, take it and go find some talents.

00:49:59Thank you, Father.

00:50:03Close call.

00:50:04The Emperor's instincts are way too sharp.

00:50:08Good thing he agreed.

00:50:10Now the Emperor's about 70% convinced.

00:50:12It all depends on whether Preston takes the bait.

00:50:16Bridal Tournament.

00:50:18What's the Emperor of Valyria playing at now?

00:50:21But it's a perfect opportunity.

00:50:24Send word to the Northern King.

00:50:26Agree to the Bridal Tournament.

00:50:28Dispatch the Northland's most elite squad here.

00:50:30Now's the time to seize Valyria.

00:50:32Yes.

00:50:33Preston?

00:50:40I don't know what kind of potion Serena gave Father to make him so smitten.

00:50:44Father actually decided on a Bridal Tournament.

00:50:47If it works out, Serena won't have to marry into the Northland.

00:50:51The Prince of the North won't be easy to beat.

00:50:52Princess Leonora.

00:50:54That incompetent ruler wants to send you to the Northland to be wolf food.

00:50:57Then he confiscated half of the Sterling family's wealth.

00:51:00Don't you hate it?

00:51:00What do you mean?

00:51:01I want to overthrow this incompetent ruler.

00:51:04And make myself king.

00:51:06Help me pull this off.

00:51:07One day, you'll be the queen.

00:51:10Serena is nothing but an ant under your feet.

00:51:11You.

00:51:12Are you serious?

00:51:14Your Highness.

00:51:16Don't you want to climb higher?

00:51:18Fine.

00:51:19I'll help you.

00:51:22Good.

00:51:23Then go back to the Sterlings today.

00:51:25Tell your true identity to Mr. and Mrs. Sterling.

00:51:28Win them over.

00:51:29Think they'll buy it?

00:51:30They were fined half their fortune, and their daughter married a poor general like me.

00:51:35Do you think they still have any loyalty to the Emperor?

00:51:39Right.

00:51:40If Serena meets her biological parents standing on the opposite side, she'll break down even more.

00:51:46Serena.

00:51:47You think organizing a bridal tournament will let you escape the political marriage?

00:51:51Foolish.

00:51:52You're handing the Northland's blade right to the Emperor's throat.

00:51:58Princess, where are you going?

00:52:00The military camp outside the capital.

00:52:03The camp?

00:52:04It's full of rough men.

00:52:06What are you going there for?

00:52:07To find a blade that can kill.

00:52:09Preston is the Northland's dog.

00:52:11I'll raise a fierce tiger myself.

00:52:13To tear out their throats.

00:52:18Your Highness, these new recruits are the best from this year's regional selections.

00:52:22The finest are still the ones trained by General Preston.

00:52:25Exactly.

00:52:26I don't want Preston's soldiers.

00:52:41Hey, Harrison.

00:52:43Only 30 laps and you're already out of breath?

00:52:45Your dad could run 50 laps back in the day.

00:52:47You're the son of a fugitive.

00:52:49You'll never amount to anything in this life.

00:52:51I'm talking to you.

00:52:52Can't you hear?

00:52:54You little.

00:52:57Sorry.

00:52:59He took the insult without anger, struck decisively, and moved steadily even under a heavy load.

00:53:04This one's got promise.

00:53:06What's that man's name?

00:53:07Your Highness, he's a poor boy from a border town named Harrison.

00:53:11His parents were executed fugitives.

00:53:14I hear he's been a vagrant since childhood.

00:53:16He only came to camp for free meals.

00:53:18Bring him here.

00:53:19Uh.

00:53:21Do I have to say it again?

00:53:24Sorry, princess.

00:53:26Harrison, come here.

00:53:28The princess wants you.

00:53:34I am Harrison, at your highness's service.

00:53:37Those two were bullying you just now.

00:53:38Why didn't you fight back?

00:53:40I've been in camp for less than three months, and haven't established myself yet.

00:53:44Making enemies won't help.

00:53:46What if I said you could fight back?

00:53:51Can you beat them?

00:53:53Your highness, those few are nothing.

00:53:55Even ten of them together are no match for me.

00:53:57Good.

00:53:58Then show me your skills.

00:54:03Please, go ahead.

00:54:13This guy's been holding back.

00:54:17From today onward, you will stay by my side.

00:54:22Aye.

00:54:23Thank you, princess.

00:54:25Later, take him and get him cleaned up.

00:54:27This sloppy look won't do.

00:54:29Yes, princess.

00:54:33Hey, I heard Princess Leonora visited the military camp.

00:54:36What a rare event.

00:54:38What's going on here?

00:54:40Don't tell me you're picking a lord consort.

00:54:43A dignified princess marrying a poor soldier?

00:54:45Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the people?

00:54:49General Preston sure medals a lot.

00:54:51Who I use, what I do, is none of your business.

00:54:55I'm just reminding you that placing your hopes of the bridal tournament on a nobody is utterly meaningless.

00:55:02Then General Preston need not worry about that.

00:55:05We'll see.

00:55:12Leonora, Preston is a man-eating wolf, staying by his side.

00:55:16Be careful you don't get devoured, bones and all.

00:55:19Stop driving a wedge between us.

00:55:25Starting today, I can teach you military strategy.

00:55:27I'll train you with all my might.

00:55:29But first, you've got to do something.

00:55:31Earn my trust.

00:55:32Go ahead, your highness.

00:55:33You must win the bridal tournament.

00:55:35Defeat everyone.

00:55:36And besides that, you must never betray me.

00:55:40Yes.

00:55:41I swear on my life.

00:55:42I will never fail you, your highness.

00:55:49What is this Serena up to?

00:55:51Whatever she does, a mere soldier won't cause any trouble.

00:55:56Once the Northlanders arrive, this will all be over.

00:55:59As for this ugly woman, she really thinks she can become mother of a nation.

00:56:05Ah, my good son-in-law's here.

00:56:07Did you get into trouble again?

00:56:10Can't stay at the General's mansion?

00:56:12Arthur Sterling.

00:56:13You'd better show me some respect.

00:56:16Child, do you have any manners?

00:56:17How dare you speak to your father like that?

00:56:19What kind of parents are you?

00:56:21Let me tell you a secret.

00:56:23I am not Serena.

00:56:25I am the real Princess Leonora.

00:56:28What's this madness now?

00:56:29Mr. and Mrs. Sterling.

00:56:30What she says is true.

00:56:32The one sitting in the palace now, that Princess Leonora, is your biological daughter, Serena.

00:56:38What?

00:56:42What?

00:56:42How is this possible?

00:56:44In order to steal my identity and enjoy wealth and glory,

00:56:47Serena had someone buy a soul-swapping parasite from the Mystic South.

00:56:51She's telling the truth.

00:56:53I've already verified the matter of the soul-swapping parasite.

00:56:55What?

00:56:56How could this happen?

00:56:59Serena impersonated the princess, so you were fined half your wealth.

00:57:02This is the fine daughter you raised.

00:57:04That unfilial daughter.

00:57:05How could she do something so absurd?

00:57:07Father-in-law, the current emperor is incompetent.

00:57:10He indulges a fake princess and has confiscated half of the Sterling family's wealth.

00:57:14Is a court like this still worth your loyalty?

00:57:16What are you trying to say?

00:57:17I'm going to start an uprising.

00:57:19When the time comes, I'll return ten times the wealth the Sterling's lost.

00:57:24Sir, this could get us killed.

00:57:26Father-in-law, the emperor sees the Sterlings as easy prey.

00:57:29He's wanted to move against you for a long time.

00:57:32This time is just an appetizer.

00:57:33What about next time?

00:57:35Sooner or later, you'll lose all your wealth.

00:57:38All right.

00:57:38The Sterlings will take this bet with you.

00:57:40All the pawns are in place.

00:57:42Then from today onward, the Sterling family's trade roots and treasury will fully cooperate with me.

00:57:48Serena, just you wait.

00:57:50Soon, it will be your turn to beg me on your knees.

00:57:59As long as I become the tournament champion and get recommendations from a few court ministers,

00:58:03the position of commander of the Imperial Guard will be within easy reach.

00:58:07Then Valeria will be no more.

00:58:12The bridal tournament begins now.

00:58:14In this tournament, victory brings honor.

00:58:17My princess deserves the strongest warrior in the world.

00:58:19The winner can choose any princess for a political marriage.

00:58:22We northern warriors never let women down.

00:58:25First match.

00:58:27Who's next?

00:58:28This prince of the north is really pushing his luck.

00:58:31Preston, your true colors are about to show.

00:58:35I'll take him on.

00:58:42Valeria's warriors are nothing special.

00:58:45Who else?

00:58:49The three of you.

00:58:50Come at me together.

00:58:54Big words.

00:58:56Big words.

00:59:11What a performance.

00:59:27Your majesty, I am not here to seek the princess's hand.

00:59:30Only for Valeria.

00:59:33General Preston is brave and mighty.

00:59:35Unmatched in the world.

00:59:36Your majesty, with general Preston's talent, he must be rewarded.

00:59:40I recommend that general Preston be appointed commander of the Imperial Guard.

00:59:44If he truly takes command of the Imperial Guard, I won't survive three days.

00:59:48This court is crawling with his lapdogs.

00:59:51Not so fast.

00:59:52There's still one last person who hasn't come forward.

01:00:03A month ago, you were still in the military camp, a lowly soldier shining shoes.

01:00:08Come on, let me teach you what the difference really is.

01:00:27Damn it.

01:00:28Who is this kid?

01:00:29How is he so strong?

01:00:36You let me win.

01:00:38Preston, your military achievements were spoon-fed to you.

01:00:41How could you beat a true genius?

01:00:45I'm coming.

01:00:46I'm coming.

01:00:49I'm coming.

01:01:16good well done harrison truly a young prodigy of valeria now that's valeria the true young

01:01:50your majesty the political marriage has been decided if we renege now we risk angering

01:01:55northland disaster could strike the border since it's a bridal tournament the winner takes all

01:02:50tournament the political marriage fell through back in the northland he can't complete his mission

01:10:35who brought me out of the military camp

01:10:39i was completely blind in my past life

01:10:54why do you want them dead

01:10:56preston and the sterlings

01:10:57what have they done to you

01:11:01serving the emperor is like sleeping with a tiger

01:11:03with that look on the emperor's face

01:11:05he is truly angry

01:11:07those two old fools from the sterlings are inhuman

01:11:10after the soul swap

01:11:12at first

01:11:12they pretended to take care of me

01:11:14but ever since father confiscated half of the sterling family's wealth

01:11:18that old geezer arthur sterling said i was a jinx

01:11:20causing the sterlings to lose half their wealth

01:11:23he locked me in the woodshed

01:11:25and fed me leftovers

01:11:27he stopped treating my throat halfway

01:11:30those sterlings all deserve to die

01:11:33and that preston

01:11:34when he saw my face

01:11:36he said i looked like a ghost

01:11:38after the marriage

01:11:39he forbade me from coming within 30 paces of him

01:11:42or he would kill me

01:11:43leonora

01:11:44you're talking nonsense

01:11:45do the sterlings and preston know

01:11:48shut up

01:11:50you're all no good

01:11:51you conspired to frame me

01:11:53i beg you

01:11:54father

01:11:55to seek justice for me

01:11:56do you have anything to say

01:12:00she's not wrong

01:12:01i am indeed serena

01:12:02we did use a soul swapping parasite

01:12:05we swapped bodies

01:12:06serena admitted it

01:12:07she used dark arts to occupy my body

01:12:09she deserves to die a thousand times

01:12:11how do you want her to die

01:12:13death by a thousand cuts

01:12:17if the emperor truly wanted to kill me

01:12:20why all this nonsense

01:12:21it seems leonora's move was a mistake

01:12:26using dark magic to take over the princess's body

01:12:29by law

01:12:30that's a crime punishable by execution of the entire bloodline

01:12:32since you've confessed with your own mouth

01:12:34if i don't kill you

01:12:35heaven itself wouldn't stand for it

01:12:37but

01:12:37i want to hear what you think

01:12:39why did you do the soul swap

01:12:41and why did you do all those things

01:12:43it seems that lately

01:12:48now

01:12:48i need to show what i'm worth

01:12:50everything i did was for valeria

01:12:52you

01:12:53a merchant's daughter

01:12:54took over my body

01:12:55and you say it was for valeria

01:12:56ridiculous

01:12:57you've been swapped for so long

01:12:59haven't you just been using my body to abuse your power

01:13:02all those high and mighty words

01:13:04pathetic

01:13:11did you really think marrying preston would give you a good life

01:13:14he doesn't care whether you're a princess or a merchant girl

01:13:17in his eyes

01:13:18you're just a pawn

01:13:30the entire sterling family

01:13:32they're all preston's accomplices

01:13:34your majesty

01:13:35after they learned the truth about the soul swap

01:13:37not only did they not expose him

01:13:38but they conspired with preston

01:13:40raising military funds for him

01:13:41plotting to overthrow valeria from within

01:13:43with the intent to rebel

01:13:49father she's lying to you

01:14:27and the golden wolf token from the king

01:14:29golden wolf token

01:14:30isn't that something only a direct descendant of the northern king can possess

01:14:33yes

01:14:34according to our scouts in northland

01:14:36the northern king originally had a third son

01:14:38his given name was tobias

01:14:40he was only seven years old when he disappeared

01:14:43now it seems that son was sent to valeria as a child and renamed preston

01:14:47he has been undercover for 20 years

01:14:49to coordinate a rebellion and overthrow valeria

01:14:53he really
