Transcript
00:00Serafina, my wife, is a legendary master in the world of Western handcrafted enamel porcelain,
00:04known as the Muse of Enamel.
00:06Her works have long took pride of place in the prime spots of top art fairies in New
00:09York and Paris.
00:10Yet she smashed with her own hands the one-of-a-kind royal custom enamel vase Blazing Dragon, which
00:16we had crafted for Lord Edward of Britain to mark his 80th birthday.
00:20All because Ethan, her favorite young apprentice, sobbed that this Yume Long Lion design of
00:25Brorode has from into ambiation project.
00:28I was at my wits' end when my assistant handed me a screenshot of Serafina's Instagram.
00:32There she was, at the London Art Exhibition, beaming beside Ethan, tenderly adjusting his
00:38bowtie.
00:38So this was why she destroyed a decade of our hard work, just to pave the way for her so
00:44-called
00:44prodigy.
00:45Mr. Evans, Lord Edward's private secretary has called three times to follow up.
00:49What do we do now?
00:50There's no way we can remake it in time.
00:52No need.
00:54Tell the secretary we're breaching the contract.
00:56Issue a statement that the studio will voluntarily pay double the deposit as compensation.
01:01She claims to guard originality?
01:03Then she should have no complaints about smashing her own livelihood with her own hands.
01:08Mr. Evans, the secretary called again.
01:10He said, he said Lord Edward will pursue this to the very end, and he'll have us blacklisted
01:14in the entire European art circle.
01:16Fine beads of sweat broke out on my assistant's forehead.
01:18I looked at my anxious assistant and said, cancel all remedial measures.
01:22Inform the legal team to initiate the breach of contract process and pay double the deposit.
01:26Mr. Evans, if we do this, the studio will be-
01:28Let it go bankrupt.
01:29My phone rang, and Serafina's profile picture flashed on the screen.
01:35I answered and put it on speakerphone.
01:37Darling, I've calmed Ethan down.
01:39Don't worry, he's dropping the plazerism claim.
01:42Her tone on the other end was condescending, as if she were bestowing a favor.
01:46Why haven't you been answering my calls?
01:48Do you have any idea how worried I was?
01:49I clenched the phone so hard my knuckles turned white.
01:52And in your heart, which one of us is the outsider?
01:55Me, or Ethan whom you've known for less than three months?
01:58What do you mean by that?
01:59Eli Evans, stop changing the subject.
02:02Hardly had the words left her mouth when the solid wood door of the studio was slammed open.
02:05Eli Evans, have you lost your mind?
02:08Breach the contract?
02:10Pay double compensation?
02:12Do you have any clue what this means?
02:14Don't you forget, it's me, Serafina, who's kept this studio afloat.
02:18You're just a technical director.
02:20What's smashing one vase?
02:22Even if I smashed ten, I could bounce back anytime I wanted.
02:26Hysterical woman in front of me, I suddenly felt she was a complete stranger.
02:29For a decade of marriage, I'd scoured Europe for the finest cowl and enamel glazes for her,
02:34and adjusted the firing temperature a thousand times by the kiln for her creations.
02:38Yet in her eyes, I was worth less than a young apprentice she'd known for three months.
02:42Ethan's right, you're just jealous of his talent.
02:45How dare someone who only knows how to knead clay and mix glazes talk about art?
02:49Before Serafina could finish speaking, her personal phone rang.
02:52She glanced at the caller ID, and the rage on her face melted into a tenderness I'd never seen before.
02:58Ethan?
02:59Yes, I'll take you to meet the real heavy-headeds in the art world tonight.
03:03For ten years of marriage, I'd handled every trivial matter of the studio for her,
03:07while she took all the praise and glory for herself, and thought it was only right.
03:12I picked up my work phone and dialed my assistant's number.
03:15Initiate asset liquidation immediately.
03:17Sell off all liquidable equipment and collections.
03:21Mr. Evans, are you sure?
03:24Absolutely.
03:25I'd just hung up, when my phone screen lit up.
03:28Ethan had sent a sny propagation from an anonymous social media account.
03:32A hard-working craftman like you will narem worked MOT.
03:35I took a screenshot and sent it to Serafina.
03:37Her call came back in an instant, and her roar nearly split my eardrums.
03:41Eli Evans, how long are you gonna keep sewing discord with such cheap tricks as photo editing?
03:45Ethan's just a kid.
03:47Have you lost your mind framing him like this?
03:49Serafina, calm down, let's talk this through.
03:51There's nothing to talk about. Eli Evans, I've had enough of you. Ethan's right.
03:56Being with someone like you, I'll never reach greater artistic heights.
04:02Mr. Evans, there's one last contract left.
04:06My assistant handed over the document with a trembling hand.
04:09It's a custom contract with Vincentet, the mafia godfather. Serafina signed it personally.
04:14The penalty for breach is...
04:16I glanced at the number at the end of the contract. An eight-figure number. In euros.
04:22It's a sky-high penalty. We'll lose everything. We'll even be crippled by massive debts.
04:28My assistant's voice was filled with despair.
04:37Have the car ready. We're going to Vincent's private estate. I'm going to terminate the contract in person.
04:43Outside Vincent's private estate, Villa Fanza, the lights were coming on, and a line of limited-edition supercars stretched into
04:49the distance.
04:50I'd just gotten out of the car, when I saw Serafina walking toward me, linking arms with Ethan.
04:56She was wearing a ho-couture gown worth a six-figure euro sore, and around her neck was the Harry
05:01Willingston diamond necklace I'd given her.
05:03The moment she saw me, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she didn't even bother to stop
05:07walking.
05:08Ethan immediately hid behind her, putting on a feigned look of fear.
05:12Master, is Mr. Evans here to get revenge on me? I'm so scared.
05:17Eli Evans, have you caused enough trouble? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Tracing us all the way here.
05:23You think you're the still-the-studio's operations director? Right now, you're nothing.
05:30I pulled the termination letter out of my suit in her pocket. The thin paper fluttered slightly in the night
05:36breeze.
05:37When Serafina saw the document in my hand, she immediately put that a sun descending of hers.
05:42What? Can't hold on anymore? Want me to beg Vincent for mercy?
05:46She let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with contempt.
05:50It's too late. Get out of here now, and I'll pretend I never saw you.
05:54I held up the document in my hand and the light glinted off the three English words termination letter.
05:59Make them stingingly bright.
06:01I'm here to terminate the contract.
06:03Serafina's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
06:05She lunged at me, snatched the termination letter out of my hand, and after redeating its contents, tore it to
06:11shreds in a frenzy.
06:12How dare you, Eli Evans! I'm telling you, without me, you're nothing!
06:17Just then, the estate's bodyguard stepped forward and cut off Serafina's screams.
06:22Mr. Vincent said he'll only see Mr. Evans tonight.
06:25No! Please, let me see Mr. Vincent! I have something to say to him!
06:29But the bodyguards had already grabbed her by the arms and were dragging her out of the estate.
06:35I watched it all unfold, then turned and walked into the estate.
06:38Vincent sat behind a massive ebony desk, his expression calm, but his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
06:43Mr. Evans, have a seat.
06:47He slid the contract on the table toward me.
06:49It was the very one with the sky-high breach penalty that Serafina had signed in her own hand.
06:54In this contract, Serafina promised to make me a set of enamel porcelain tea sets using the lost Wensenden Royal
07:01enamel technique.
07:02Now, I want the goods.
07:04She can't make them.
07:06Then we'll follow the contract.
07:09I give you respect, but business is business.
07:13Within three days, either deliver the goods or pay the penalty.
07:18Vince's efficiency and resolve were as unwavering as ever.
07:22I nodded and stood up to leave.
07:24I just stepped out of the estate gate when Serafina's hysterical scream rang out behind me.
07:29You just want to see me humiliated?
07:32See me beg for your mercy?
07:34Three days!
07:35Do you have any idea where to find a craftsman who knows the Wensender Royal enamel technique in three days?
07:41This means I'll lose everything!
07:43A decade of my hard work, gone in an instant!
07:46You leech!
07:47How dare you treat me like this!
07:49Master, he's just jealous of your artistic achievements.
07:52Jealous that you care about me.
07:54Someone like him, with no artistic talent, could never understand our artistic pursuit.
07:59The more Serafina listened, the angrier she got.
08:03She raised her hand to slap me again.
08:08Serafina, you signed that contract with your own hand.
08:11And now that things have gone wrong, you blame me?
08:15She ranked her wrist free from my grasp, a flash of despair and madness in her eyes.
08:25I pulled out my phone and showed her a screenshot of the divorce appointment email.
08:30I'd already booked an appointment at the local family court, 2pm tomorrow, at the divorce registry.
08:46Eli Evans, dare you go through with this divorce?
08:49I'll make sure you can never work in the European art circle again!
08:55Master, he's threatening you.
08:57Classic player move.
08:58Create a crisis first, then pretend to save you, making you grateful to him for the rest of your life.
09:03Serafina's eyes lit up as his words sank in.
09:07She suddenly realized what was going on.
09:09That's right!
09:10You're putting on a show!
09:12You want me to beg for your help, don't you?
09:14Want me to bow down to you?
09:16I'm telling you.
09:17Over my dead body.
09:19It's just three days.
09:21I, Serafina, have weathered every storm life has thrown at me.
09:24Master, I know several national level.
09:26They'll definitely be willing to help you.
09:28Ethan immediately fawned over her.
09:30Serafina linked arms with Ethan triumphantly.
09:33See that?
09:34I have Ethan, and that's all I need.
09:37I've been sick of you for a long time.
09:39I was tired of her nonsense.
09:41I turned and walked away.
09:43Eli Evans!
09:44Stop right there!
09:46Serafina strouted at my back.
09:47You think I'll be scared if you leave?
09:49I'm telling you, I'll live a better life without you!
09:52I got in the car without looking back.
09:54My assistant started the car, and in the rearview mirror,
09:57I saw Serafina still stamping her feet and shouting insults where she stood.
10:00Mr. Evans, do you think she could actually find a craftsman
10:02who knows the Wenser Royal Enamel Technique?
10:04The Wenser Royal Enamel Technique had been lost for over a century.
10:07She thought she could find someone who knew it.
10:08Dream on.
10:09For the next two days,
10:11Serafina called every master craftsman in her contact list.
10:16Without exception,
10:17every master gave Serafina a negative answer.
10:22Serafina?
10:23The Winson Royal Enamel Technique?
10:26You must be joking.
10:28That craft was lost ages ago.
10:30Well, if it isn't the muse of enamel.
10:33Looking for someone to get you out of this mess?
10:36Sure.
10:37Hand over three million euros first,
10:40and I'll think about asking around for you.
10:43Serafina?
10:43The Winson Royal Enamel Technique?
10:45You must be joking.
10:47That craft was lost ages ago.
10:49She and Ethan rushed around to every famous craft workshop in Europe,
10:53only to be turned away at every door.
10:56As the deadline loomed,
10:59Ethan started making excuses to avoid her.
11:02In her despair,
11:04she finally started blowing up my phone with calls and messages,
11:08non-stop.
11:09Eli, I was wrong.
11:11Help me just one last time.
11:13Darling, I'm begging you.
11:15Just help me get through this,
11:17and I'll do whatever you say.
11:19Answer the phone!
11:20You bastard!
11:21Are you trying to drive me to my death?
11:23In the studio,
11:24I opened my private locker,
11:26and took out the set of enamel craft tools
11:29I'd never shown anyone.
11:31For a decade,
11:32they'd been hidden away,
11:34and now,
11:35they were finally going to see the light of day again.
11:38My assistant pushed the door open and said,
11:43Mr. Evans,
11:44Serafina's called over a dozen times.
11:46I didn't answer any of them.
11:48Also,
11:49she sent Ethan over to beg for your help.
11:51I threw him out.
11:52Mr. Evans,
11:52where will you go next?
11:54My assistant asked cautiously.
11:56I wrapped the tools carefully in a velvet cloth,
11:59my voice soft but filled with unshakable resolve.
12:03To the divorce registry.
12:05In the waiting area of the divorce registry.
12:10Within minutes of sending the appointment email,
12:12Serafina's call came blasting through.
12:13Threatening me with divorce?
12:15Eli Evans,
12:15that's a pretty cheap trick.
12:16If you want me to fix things with Vincent,
12:18just say it.
12:18Stop with these childish games.
12:20You want a divorce?
12:20I'll go through with it in a heartbeat.
12:22Anyway,
12:22I have Ethan now,
12:23and life is so much better with him than it ever was with you.
12:25I took the divorce papers the staff handed me and signed my name,
12:28Eli Evans,
12:29on the line for the husband.
12:30This absurd decade of marriage,
12:32like that smashed enamel vase,
12:34was now nothing but dust.
12:37As you wish.
12:38I held up the divorce papers,
12:40took a photo,
12:41and sent it to my legal assistant.
12:43Before she signed,
12:44she bit her lips so hard it was almost bleeding.
12:47I thought I heard her whisper.
12:50Do we really have to do this?
12:54In the end,
12:55she signed her name,
12:56Serafina Renov.
12:57When I got the cold hard divorce certificate,
13:00I held it up,
13:01took a photo,
13:01and sent it to my assistant right in front of her with a note.
13:03Inform the legal team.
13:05The divorce agreement takes a neatly effect.
13:07Keyshaid parent in the fur connor.
13:08When I'd done all that,
13:09I turned and walked away.
13:11Not a shred of regret in my heart.
13:13Eli Evans!
13:17Serafina called after me.
13:19Her voice filled with utter despair.
13:22I didn't stop walking.
13:24Lord Edward sent an invitation to his private art appreciation gala,
13:29the most exclusive gathering of London's collector circle,
13:32happening tonight.
13:33The gala was held on the top floor of the Shard in central London.
13:36I pushed open the door to the venue,
13:38and it was filled with celebrities and the wealthy,
13:41all the top figures of Europe's art and business circles.
13:45Serafina was standing in the middle of the crowd,
13:47linking arms with Ethan,
13:48wearing a sapphire blue eau couture gown,
13:50grinning from ear to ear in triumph.
13:52Master Serafina has a real eye for talent.
13:54This boy was born to be an artist.
13:56This is my protege Ethan,
13:58a prodigy with an unlimited future.
13:59Master Serafina has a real eye for talent.
14:03This boy was born to be an artist.
14:09Eli Evans, don't think you can run AMA here
14:12just because you know Vincent's bodyguards.
14:14Stay out of trouble and don't ruin my night.
14:16If you dare open your mouth and say something stupid,
14:18I'll ruin your reputation for good.
14:20Hardly had the words left her mouth
14:22when a small commotion broke out on the other side of the venue.
14:25A spry elderly man walked through the crowd,
14:28his face filled with uncontainable excitement.
14:33Eli!
14:35You've finally decided to come out of hiding!
14:39Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you?
14:43Serafina's smile frozen on her face,
14:45as if someone had hit pause.
14:47Everyone's eyes darted between me and the elderly man,
14:51filled with shock and confusion.
14:53Ethan's face turned deathly pale.
14:55He clung tightly to Serafina's sleeve,
14:58a flash of panic in his eyes.
15:00Lord Edward, you know him?
15:02Know him?
15:03I know him far more than that.
15:05His master was my sworn brother.
15:07And Eli, he's the legendary lost heir
15:10of the Winsen Royal Enamel Technique,
15:13a myth in Europe's enamel craft world for over a century.
15:16That's impossible!
15:18He's just a goer!
15:19A so-called technical director,
15:21whose only job is to adjust the temperature by the kiln.
15:25Eli injured his hand ten years ago.
15:27He chose to stay behind the scene to repay a careness.
15:30Do you think your works made it in this industry on their own?
15:33Your so-called artistic talent
15:35is nothing but the fruit of a decade of his hard work.
15:38It was my final gift to you.
15:40Back then, you took care of me when I was injured,
15:44and I promised to make you you a star for ten years.
15:47For this past decade, I've taught you everything.
15:51The very essence of the Winsor Royal Enamel Technique.
15:55For ten years I've created the core craftsmanship
15:57of every single one of your enamel works.
15:58All the glory you've enjoyed
15:59you've only ever stood on my shoulders to get it.
16:01Serafina trembled all over.
16:03She stared at me.
16:04Her eyes filled with rage that slowly turned to fear.
16:06Tonight's final lot is none other than
16:07a practice piece Eli made ten years ago.
16:10A singly auctioneer walked onto the stage,
16:12holding a seemingly plain enamel teacup in his hand.
16:14The cup looked unassuming,
16:15but the enamel patterns on its surface
16:17exuded an understated...
16:18Starting bid, five million euros.
16:21That starting bid was already higher
16:22than the highest price any of Serafina's works had ever forged.
16:25We'll start the bidding at 10 million euros.
16:27The price soared wildly.
16:28Each bid slamming into Serafina like...
16:2950 million euros.
16:31She stared at the plain enamel teacup,
16:33then at herself.
16:34Her eyes filled with despair.
16:35The price soared wildly.
16:36Each bid slamming into Serafina's heart like a sledgehammer.
16:39She stared at the plain enamel teacup,
16:40then at herself.
16:41Her eyes filled with despair.
16:42Her so-called artistic talent,
16:44the thing she'd prided herself on,
16:45was crushed to dust at this very moment.
16:46Final bid, 80 million euros.
16:50That price was more than a hundred times
16:52what her proudest work had ever sold for.
16:54Serafina finally understood.
16:55Her so-called gifted talent was nothing but my shadow.
16:58All her glory and fame were ruthlessly shattered in an instant.
17:00No, it's impossible.
17:02I'm a genius!
17:04I'm Serafina!
17:05I'm the muse of enamel!
17:08A genius?
17:10Without Eli, you're nothing.
17:12Just a fame-hungry clown.
17:14So that's how it is.
17:16No wonder her works always had an indescribable sense of sophistication.
17:20Just a fraud.
17:21She tricked us all for ten years.
17:22Poor Master Evans.
17:24Wasting a decade of his life on this woman.
17:27Every word seared into Serafina's heart like a red-hot iron.
17:31Her entire artistic world came crashing down at that moment.
17:35Ethan tried to sneak out of the venue,
17:37but a few guests stopped him.
17:39Hey, kid!
17:40Your master's a fraud.
17:41So what about your so-called graduation project?
17:45Ethan's face turned white as a sheet.
17:47He couldn't say a single word.
17:49Serafina suddenly lunged at me like a madwoman.
17:52You ruined me!
17:53The venue's bodyguards rushed forward and restrained her tightly.
17:56She thrashed around in the bodyguards' arms,
17:58her hair a mess,
17:59her eyes wild with madness.
18:01I can't believe it!
18:01I'm Serafina!
18:02I'm the muse of enamel!
18:04Get this crazy woman out of here.
18:05She's ruining the artistic atmosphere.
18:11Serafina's screams were cut short
18:12as the security guards dragged her away.
18:14I glanced at Serafina,
18:16crumpled on the floor as she was dragged away,
18:18then turned to leave.
18:19Her desperate, heart-wrenching saws echoed behind me.
18:23A decade of patience.
18:25Finally over.
18:28That smile held relief, confidence,
18:30and boundless hope for the future.
18:32The plane flew on,
18:34carrying me toward a brand new life.
18:36Back in London,
18:37Serafina sat in a detention cell,
18:39consumed by regret.
18:41She hadn't just smashed an enamel vase,
18:44she'd smashed her own fate.
18:45I'd already forgiven her,
18:47not out of mercy,
18:48but because she no longer deserved my hatred.
18:50My phone vibrated again.
18:52Another text message,
18:53sent from an anonymous channel in the detention center.
18:56This time,
18:56I deleted it without even opening it.
18:58Some people are just part of the past.
19:01And I was destined for something far greater.
19:05Lord Edward's granddaughter saw me put my phone away
19:08and pushed a drafted,
19:09indangible cultural heritage revival project plan in front of me.
19:13Her name was Chloe.
19:15She'd just graduated from the craft and design program
19:18at the London College of Art,
19:20her eyes bright with the vitality and courage of youth,
19:24her entire being radiating a love for traditional crafts.
19:28Chloe pushed the plan forward,
19:29her voice clear and bright.
19:30Master Evans,
19:31this is a preliminary plan I've made
19:33based on the current state of Lemoye's imamal craft.
19:36The core is to rebuild a training base
19:38for the Windsor Royal imamal technique
19:40to discover a nurturing young master craftsman.
19:43I took the plan she handed me,
19:44my fingers brushing the English words on the page.
19:46It was clear she'd done her homework.
19:48From Cowian selection and anomal glaze mixing
19:51to traditional technique teaching
19:52and the market integration of enamel cultural heritage crafts,
19:55every detail was thorough and practical.
19:57Who controls the Kylan mines and core enamel glaze mines
20:01in Lemoye's right now?
20:03I flipped to the raw materials section of the plan
20:05and looked up at Chloe.
20:07The essence of the Windsor Royal enamel technique
20:10lay first and foremost in raw materials.
20:13If the mines were controlled by others,
20:15the road to revival would be fraught with difficulties.
20:19Chloe's smile faded a little.
20:21She pointed her finger at a family name on the plan,
20:24the Holt family,
20:25Ethan's family.
20:27Ethan's family, the Holt's,
20:30have a monopoly on three core Collin mines
20:32and two enamel glaze mines in Lemoye's.
20:35Portnary Craft and Canengote Inferior Yensetile,
20:38and they're even exploited it at turns.
20:41Huster of Urbina tripled.
20:42My fingers paused for a moment.
20:44A flash of coldness in my eyes.
20:46The Holt family had not only injured my hand
20:49and tried to steal the Windsor Royal enamel technique,
20:52but now they were monopolizing the core raw materials,
20:56trying to cut off the very foundation of Europe's
20:59handcrafted enamel industry.
21:01It was time to settle the score.
21:03Does Mr. Vincent have connections in Lemroy's
21:06that reach the mining sector?
21:08I thought of Vincent's influence.
21:11He held significant sway in both the business
21:13and underground circles of Western Europe.
21:16Lord Edward took over the conversation,
21:18picking up the cup of black tea on the table
21:20and tooking a sip.
21:22Vincent was in the mining trade in his early years
21:24and he's on good terms
21:25with the local mining authorities in Lemoye's.
21:27But the Holt family has been rooted in Lemoye's
21:29for over a century.
21:30Their influence is far-raching and intricate.
21:33Confronting them head-on would be unwise.
21:34It would only bring unnecessary trouble.
21:36We don't need to confront them head-down.
21:37I set the plan down on the table,
21:39tapping my fingers lightly on the surface.
21:40A plan already forming in my mind.
21:42Wenzin is one Don Olam technique
21:43and Shevtamri relied then-soul on Colton Quail.
21:45It relies on the Holjohn's findings
21:46and of stemplence of neat properties.
21:48We're using them powered of the fall temper tune
21:49and we'll be on troth for Presker.
21:51When she out the door, she'll break the dead box.
21:53The plane landed at Lumos Airport in France,
21:55the birthplace of European enamel craft
21:56and the place where I'd studied
21:57the Windsor Royal Enamel Technique
21:59on my master a decade ago.
22:00I just stepped out of the airport
22:01when I saw Vincent's personal driving at the gate
22:03holding a carved sandalwood box in his hands.
22:05Mr. Evans, Vince, man,
22:06Mr. Vincent asked me to give this to you.
22:08I opened the box.
22:09Inside was a palm-sized piece of Kylian,
22:11pale white in texture, rare grade one Kylian,
22:12and as in general of secret color enameled glaze,
22:14both top-door raw materials for the Windsor technique.
22:16I closed the box and nodded at the driver.
22:18Thank Mr. Vincent for me.
22:19When we meet in London sometime,
22:20I'll make a set of Windsor Royal Enamel T-sits
22:22for him with my own hands.
22:24The car drove through the streets of Limox.
22:26Small enamel workshops could be seen everywhere
22:29by the roadside, but most were quiet and lifeless.
22:33Master Evans, this is Master Maurice Workshop.
22:35He's one of the few elders in Lumos
22:37who still knows the traditional handcrafted clay forming
22:39and cloday enamel techniques.
22:40A few years ago, he refused to supply the Holt family,
22:43so they cut off all his raw materials.
22:45Now he can only make a meager living
22:46by crafting small enamel ornaments.
22:48I told the driver to stop,
22:49then pushed the door open and got out.
22:51I pushed the door open and saw an elderly man
22:53with white hair sitting at a workbench,
22:55kneading a piece of inferior cout slowly,
22:58getting it ready for forming.
22:59His movements were slow,
23:00but they held the ingraced discipline
23:02of a master craftsman.
23:03Every need was precise and methodical.
23:05Hearing the noise,
23:06the old man looked up at me,
23:07a hint of weariness and distance in his eyes.
23:10Are you with the Holt family?
23:11I've already said I won't take your work.
23:13Get out of here.
23:14Master Maurice, we're not with the Holt family.
23:17This is Mr. Eli Evans,
23:18the only heir to the Windsor Royal Enamel Technique.
23:21He's come to Limoy to rebuild a training base
23:23for the Windsor Technique
23:24and revive the traditional enamel craft.
23:26The Windsor Royal Enamel Technique?
23:28It's been lost for ages.
23:30Where would an heir come from?
23:31The Holt family has dragged the name of the Windsor Technique
23:34through the mud all these years.
23:36Don't try to fool me with that title.
23:37I won't fall for it.
23:38I didn't argue.
23:40I walked over to the workbench
23:42and took the piece of inferior cowlene
23:44from the old man's hands.
23:47The moment my fingers touched the caillouen,
23:49I knew everything about it.
23:50The moisture content,
23:51the density,
23:52the sand content,
23:53all crystal clear in my mind.
23:54I walked over to the clay forming machine
23:56in the corner of the workshop,
23:58turned it on,
23:58and placed my hands on the clay,
24:00rotating it slowly.
24:01The clay rose slowly in my hands,
24:03transforming from an irregular lump
24:05into the rough shape of a vase.
24:07Then the neck,
24:08then the mouth.
24:09All in one smooth unbroken motion,
24:12not a single unnecessary move.
24:14The Windsor Royal clay forming technique emphasizes,
24:17the hand follows the heart,
24:19the clay follows the hand.
24:21Every bit of pressure from the fingertips
24:23must be precise
24:24to create a palosaline body
24:26with a natural curve and even thickness.
24:29I didn't make an intricate shape,
24:32just a basic Winson straight enamel cup.
24:35But I showcased the very essence
24:37of the Winson technique's clay forming
24:39and trimming to perfection.
24:41The moment the forming machine stopped,
24:44Master Maurice's eyes widened
24:45to the size of saucers.
24:47Maurice was a master of his craft.
24:50His hands trembled slightly
24:51as he stood up and walked to the workbench.
24:53He reached out to touch the clay cup,
24:55then pulled his hand back,
24:56afraid his rough fingers would damage
24:58the perfect porcelain body.
25:00Is this the Winson-to-Royal freehand forming technique?
25:04Are you really the heir
25:05to the Winson-to-Royal enamel technique?
25:08I nodded and set the tools down
25:10on the table beside me.
25:11Master Maurice,
25:13the Windsor technique was never lost.
25:15It was just hidden among the people.
25:17I've come here to rebuild a training bastie
25:19for the Windsor-Wayalamal technique,
25:21to trann on the Windsor crotty,
25:23and to let the lemans of Lameau
25:25get fair by kill jogs
25:26bar plajer inweld,
25:27so they can focus on their craft in peace,
25:30no longer exploited by the Holt family.
25:32Master Maurice's eyes turned red in an instant.
25:37He wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve
25:39and let out a heavy sigh.
25:41Good.
25:43The Windsor technique finally has an air.
25:46I thought I'd never live to see
25:48the Windsor technique see the light of day again.
25:50Master Maurice held my hand,
25:52his voice filled with excitement.
25:53Mr. Evans, I'm with you.
25:55Even without raw materials
25:56from the whole Holt family,
25:57this old body of mine
25:58can help you teach the young craftsman,
25:59of all the clitonignis I've learned in my life to them.
26:02When I walked out of Master Maurice's workshop,
26:04more than a dozen young craftsmen followed me.
26:06All Maurice's apprentices,
26:07or young people from other workshops in Lameau's.
26:10I stared at the young people in front of me,
26:12their faces filled with dedication to their craft,
26:14and hope for the future.
26:16A warm current welled up in my heart.
26:18The revival of the Windsor Royal enamel technique
26:20was never just my fight.
26:21It was the fight of all craftsmen who loved enamel
26:23and clung to their artisan spirit.
26:25We chose the old enamel kiln factory in Lumois
26:27as the several for the training old kilns.
26:29Though they'd been unused for years,
26:31falling into despair and covered in dust,
26:33the renovation funds Vincent sent arrived soon after.
26:36Local craftsmen worked through the night,
26:38cleaning the kiln factory,
26:39repairing the forming machines,
26:40clogier workbenches,
26:41and the century-old kilns.
26:43In just three days,
26:44the old kiln factory took shape.
26:45A wooden plaque was hung at the gate.
26:47Ethan walked swaggerly into the training base,
26:49wearing a haute couture suit,
26:51and followed by several tall bodyguards,
26:53a proud and contemptuous smile on his face.
27:02Eli Evans, long time no see.
27:05Didn't expect you'd hide out in Limois
27:07and set up this fancy training base.
27:10Quite the show you're putting on.
27:12Anyone who didn't know better
27:13would think you could actually revive
27:15that outdated Windsor craft.
27:17I know you're short on raw materials and funds.
27:19This training base is just an empty shell.
27:22With this agreement,
27:24I'll offer 10 million euros
27:25to buy 80% of the shares in this training base.
27:28From now on,
27:29the Windsor Royal Animal Technique
27:30will belong to the Holt family.
27:32You can be a figurehead director,
27:34live a life of luxury,
27:35and collect dividends every year.
27:37Isn't that better than slaving away here
27:39for some so-called heritage?
27:40Ethan Holt,
27:41your family has a monopoly
27:42on Lumo's raw materials
27:44and bullies craftsmen.
27:45Now you want to steal the Windsor Technique?
27:47Have some shame!
27:48Old man,
27:49this isn't your place to speak.
27:51Dare say another word
27:51and I'll make sure
27:52you can't even make small ornaments.
27:54Your workshop will be closed for good.
27:55I raised my hand
27:57to stop the furious Master Maurice,
27:59bent down to pick up
28:00the share transfer agreement
28:02from the table
28:02and tore it to shreds piece by piece.
28:05The paper scraps fell to the ground
28:07like a layer of snow
28:09swirling in the kiln factory's wind.
28:11I find the Holt family's money disgusting.
28:14The Windsor Royal Enamel Technique
28:16is a treasure passed down
28:17by our ancestors,
28:18not a private possession
28:19the Holt family can covet.
28:21I'll find a way
28:22to get the raw materials on my own.
28:24I'll pass on the Windsor Technique
28:25on my own too.
28:27I don't need the fake kindness
28:28of the Holt family.
28:30Ethan's face darkened in an instant.
28:32A flash of viciousness in his eyes,
28:34his whole body exputing malice.
28:36Eli Evans,
28:37don't refuse a kindness
28:37when it's offered.
28:38Lamoise is Holt family territory.
28:39Setting up this training base here
28:40means you're against the Holt family,
28:41against all the mining capital in Lamoise.
28:42I'll give you three days.
28:43Either sign this agreement
28:43or get out of Lamoise.
28:44Otherwise,
28:45I'll turn this training base of yours
28:45into a pile of rubble
28:46and you won't be able to touch
28:47a single piece of kion in this city.
28:48With that,
28:49Ethan let out a cold snort,
28:51turned,
28:51and left with his bodyguards.
28:53Before he went,
28:54kicked over a clay-nettling baskin beside him,
28:57spilling clay all over the floor.
28:59Blatant precaution.
29:00The craftsmen around us
29:02all looked worried.
29:03The craftsmen around us
29:04all looked worried,
29:05frowning and whispering to each other.
29:06Chloe walked up to me too,
29:07frowning.
29:08Master Evans,
29:09Ethan means what he says.
29:10The Holt family
29:11has too much power in Lamoise.
29:12He'll definitely sabotage us.
29:14Should we pause the training base's work for now,
29:15lie low,
29:16and plan for the long term?
29:17Lie low?
29:18I shook my head
29:18and walked over to the century-old kiln nearby,
29:20running my fingers over the lines at time
29:22and the seal of the Windsor technique.
29:24Craftsmen of the Windsor technique
29:25never shy away from trouble
29:27and we never bow to power.
29:28Let them come.
29:28I'd like to see if they can smash
29:30the artisan spirit of Windsor
29:31or the very roots of European enamel craft.
29:33I told Chloe to contact Vincent at once,
29:35asking him to keep an eye
29:35on the Holt family's every move.
29:37I also had Master Maurice
29:38organize the craftsmen of Lamoise
29:39into teams to take turns
29:40guarding the training base,
29:41preventing any secret sabotaging.
29:43As for me,
29:44I retreated to the private workshop
29:45in the kiln factory,
29:46starting to design new amel vessel shapes
29:48and plan a Windsor Royal enamel craft
29:49appreciation event
29:50proving the value of the Windsor technique
29:52with sheer skill.
29:53I would make the entire European art
29:55and collector crowns know.
29:57The Windsor Royal enamel technique lives on,
29:59its air lives on.
30:01The Holt family's dream
30:02of monopolizing Lamoise's enamel industry
30:05and erasing the Windsor technique
30:06was nothing but a fan.
30:08But I never expected Ethan
30:09to strike so quickly and ruthlessly,
30:11with absolutely no moral boundaries.
30:13Right in the middle of preparations
30:15for the appreciation event,
30:16the training base's workshop was ransacked.
30:18As I looked at the mess before me,
30:20I actually smiled.
30:21The clay forming machines
30:23were smashed to pieces.
30:24The gold and silver wires
30:26for closinet were cut up.
30:27The freshly mixed enamel glazes
30:29were all poured out.
30:31Even the wooden plaque at the gate
30:33that read
30:34Windsor Royal enamel technique,
30:36intangible cultural heritage training base,
30:39was split in two with an axe
30:41thrown on the ground
30:43and trampled all over.
30:45To make matters worse,
30:46Ethan spread rumors
30:47in Lamoise's enamel market
30:48and on Oljo Isri social platforms,
30:50claiming my Windsor Royal anning technique
30:52was a fake,
30:53that I was a fraud,
30:54make money,
30:54a name of inangible hevertite iteration.
30:57He even had someone
30:58forbid evidence
30:58to smear my reputation.
31:00Overnight,
31:01the enamel circle in Lamoise
31:02was abuzz with talk.
31:04Many craftsmen
31:05who had planned to join
31:06the training base
31:07began to hesitate,
31:09some even questioning my identity,
31:11afraid to contact me
31:13for afraid of offended
31:14the Holt family.
31:15Chloe stared at the wrecked workshop,
31:17her eyes red with tears,
31:18but she held them back
31:19and grinned his teeth.
31:21Master Evans,
31:22let's call the police.
31:23Let the limo's police handle this.
31:25This is intentional property damage.
31:27The Holt family
31:28can't act with such impunity.
31:30I knelt down,
31:31picked up a shard
31:32of the broken porcelain body
31:34and ran my fingers over it.
31:36The edge was sharp,
31:37pressing into my palm.
31:42Calling the police won't help.
31:44The Holt family
31:45has been rooted
31:46in Lamoise
31:46for over a century
31:47and has long since
31:49made arrangements
31:49with local officials.
31:51Their arrival
31:52is merely a formality.
31:54They have no intention
31:55of truly helping us
31:56and may even make
31:58things difficult for us.
32:00Besides,
32:01police can't resolve
32:02a war of words.
32:03Only strength
32:04can make everyone
32:05fall silent.
32:07Ethan wants to ruin
32:08my reputation,
32:09make the Windsor Royal
32:10Enamel Technique
32:11doubted and forgotten.
32:12Then I'll slap him
32:13in the face
32:14with my skill.
32:15Show him what
32:16the real Windsor Technique is.
32:17I made the decision
32:18on the spot,
32:19move the Windsor Royal
32:20Enamel Appreciation
32:21Event forward,
32:22hold it right here
32:22at the Ransack Training Base
32:24and prove the authenticity
32:25and uniqueness
32:26of the Windsor Technique
32:27to everyone
32:27by making enamelware live,
32:29showcasing its core
32:30craftsmanship.
32:30Mr. Evans,
32:31this is far too risky.
32:33The Training Base
32:34is in shambles,
32:35not a single
32:35decent workbench left.
32:37And Ethan will definitely
32:38come to cause trouble,
32:39he'll never let
32:40your demonstration
32:41go smoothly.
32:41It's precisely because
32:43it's risky
32:43that it matters.
32:44It'll let everyone
32:45see that the craftsmen
32:47of the Windsor Technique
32:48never fear a challenge.
32:49Gell everyone,
32:51three days from now,
32:52the Windsor Royal
32:53Enamel Appreciation
32:54will veal at the
32:55Training Gidi
32:56as Juiced
32:57Winnerd
32:57as planned.
32:58Everyone is welcome
32:59to watch,
33:00to question,
33:01to verify.
33:02The Flame Pattern Relief
33:04was the core secret
33:05of the Windsor Royal
33:06Enamel Technique,
33:07the very craft
33:07behind the Blazing Dragon
33:08Vase Serafina had smashed.
33:10Now that I'd announced
33:11I'd demonstrate it live,
33:12every enamel craftsman
33:13in Lumois,
33:14every collector
33:15and art curlist
33:16across Europe,
33:17wanted to see for themselves
33:18if this lost technique
33:20really still existed.
33:21When Ethan heard the news,
33:23he even posted
33:24on social media,
33:25vowing to expose
33:26my scam at the event,
33:28to ruin my reputation
33:29in front of the entire
33:30European art
33:31art circle.
33:32The day before
33:33the appreciation event,
33:34I led all the craftsmen
33:35in cleaning up
33:35the training base
33:36through the night,
33:36repairing the smashed
33:37forming machines
33:38and workbenches,
33:39mixing the enamel glazes.
33:40We picked up the split
33:41packle,
33:42pieced it back together
33:42roughly,
33:43and hung it
33:43against the gore again,
33:44broken,
33:45but unbroken
33:45in the spirit
33:46of the Windsor technique.
33:47Vincent also got wind
33:48of what was happening,
33:49and sent dozens
33:50of professional bodyguards
33:52to guard every corner
33:53of the training base,
33:55patrolling day and night
33:56to prevent the Halt family
33:57from sabotaging us again.
34:00Ensuring the event
34:01went smoothly,
34:02but the Halt family's
34:03viciousness exceeded
34:04all my expectations.
34:05In the pre-dawn hours
34:06of the event,
34:07someone snucked
34:08into the training base,
34:09suffing rags,
34:10dirt,
34:10and other debris
34:11into the flue
34:12of the main kiln,
34:13mixing wet firewood
34:14into the kiln's fuel,
34:15even adding sand
34:16to the kylion I'd prepared.
34:17They would spare no cost
34:19to make me look foolish.
34:21They wanted the porcelain body
34:22to crack crack
34:23as I made it live,
34:25the kiln to malfunction
34:26during firing,
34:27making me a laughing
34:28stock in public,
34:30branding me a fraud
34:31for good.
34:32At the first light of dawn,
34:34I went to check
34:35the kiln and raw materials.
34:37I spotted the debris
34:38in the fluth
34:39at a glance,
34:40felt the wet firewood
34:41in the fuel,
34:42and sensed the sand
34:43in the kylion
34:44the moment I squeezed it.
34:46Chloe saw all this
34:47and trembled with anger.
34:48Her eyes read,
34:49Ethan must have done this.
34:51The Halt family
34:52is so despicable.
34:54They don't want to compete.
34:55They want to destroy
34:56the Windsor technique
34:57completely.
34:58I didn't get angry.
34:59Instead,
35:00I calmly told the craftsman
35:02to clear all the debris
35:03from the flue,
35:04pick out the wet firewood,
35:05and replace it
35:06with dry oak firewood.
35:08Oak burns with a steady flame,
35:10easy to control
35:10the temperature,
35:11the perfect fuel
35:12for enamel firing.
35:13Moreover,
35:14I re-sifted
35:15and kneaded the kylion
35:16accorded sand content
35:17to remove all sand.
35:19I also made
35:20simple modifications
35:21to the kiln
35:22based on its damage,
35:23adjusting the flue vents
35:24to make the fire
35:25more even,
35:26better suited
35:26for firing
35:27Windsor technique
35:28enamelware.
35:28On the day of the event,
35:30the training base
35:30was packed with people,
35:32elderly and young craftsmen
35:33from limos,
35:34top collectors
35:35and art critics
35:36from across Europe,
35:37and many famous
35:38media reporters
35:39with cameras
35:40and microphones,
35:41ready to record
35:41this highly anticipated event.
35:43Ethan also came,
35:45accompanied by
35:45several Holt family elders
35:47and a few so-called masters
35:48from the European
35:49enamel circle
35:49he'd bribed.
35:50They sat in the front row,
35:52grinning like they were
35:52watching a show,
35:53their eyes filled
35:54with viciousness
35:55and disdain.
35:56They were certain
35:56I'd make a fool
35:57of myself today,
35:58that they'd expose me
36:00on the spot.
36:01Chloe walked up
36:02to the makeshift stage,
36:04picked up the microphone,
36:05cleared her throat,
36:06and her voice echoed
36:08through every corner
36:09of the training base
36:10via the speakers.
36:11Honored guests,
36:12fellow craftsmen,
36:13dear media friends.
36:14Today the Winster Royal
36:15Anomal Technique
36:16shulled disappreciation
36:17wet,
36:18not for fame or fortune,
36:19but to show you
36:20the Drew Winster
36:20Royal Anomal take,
36:21to prove it has never
36:22been lost,
36:23and to affirm it
36:24of traditional
36:24choke the value.
36:26Next,
36:26please welcome the sole heir
36:28to the Winster Royal
36:28Anomal Technique,
36:29Mr. Eli Evans,
36:30to make a new
36:31Winster Anomal piece live,
36:32showcasing its closely
36:33guarded secret,
36:34the flame pattern relief.
36:35As her words fell,
36:37the crowd erupted
36:38into thunderous applause.
36:40All eyes were on me,
36:42filled with anticipation,
36:43doubt,
36:44and curiosity.
36:45I walked up to the clay
36:46forming machine
36:47on the stage,
36:48where a piece of
36:49top-grade kaulan
36:50and a small jar
36:51of secret color
36:52anemal glaze
36:52were laid out.
36:53The very premium
36:55raw materials
36:55Vincent had given me.
36:57I picked up the cayenne,
36:59placed it on the
36:59forming machine,
37:00and said nothing,
37:02only turning on the machine
37:03with a light touch.
37:04The hum of the
37:06rotating machine
37:06rang out clearly
37:07in the silent
37:08training base.
37:09I placed my hands
37:10on the smooth kaulan,
37:11my fingertips feeling
37:12the clay's temperature
37:13and texture.
37:14I recited the
37:15craftsmanship mantras
37:16of the Winster Technique
37:17in my heart,
37:18clearing my mind
37:19of all distractions.
37:20My eyes were fixed
37:21only on the clay
37:22in my hands,
37:23on the enamel piece
37:24about to take shape.
37:25The clay rose,
37:26rotated,
37:27and took shape
37:28in my hands,
37:29every movement
37:29smooth and seamless,
37:31precise to the millimeter.
37:33The vase's body
37:34neck and mouth
37:35took shape
37:35in one unbroken motion,
37:37with a natural curve
37:38and even thickness,
37:39not a single
37:40unnecessary mark,
37:41showcasing the essence
37:42of the Windsor Technique
37:43to perfection.
37:45Windsor Royal
37:45freehand forming technique
37:46working with the arms
37:47suspended in the air,
37:48no support at all,
37:49controlling the clay's rotation
37:50and shaping with the strength
37:51of the fingertips.
37:52A single misstep
37:53and the porcelain body
37:54would collapse.
37:55The crowd held their breath,
37:56their eyes fixed
37:56unblinkingly on my hands,
37:58watching the lump of cali
37:59and turn into an exquisite
38:00vase prototype
38:00in my palms.
38:01The once noisy venue
38:02fell so silent
38:03that only the hum
38:03of the forming machine
38:04and my breath
38:05could be heard.
38:05After forming the clay,
38:07I began trimming
38:07the porcelain body,
38:08doing clomusche,
38:09carving patterns,
38:10and filling the glazes.
38:11The carving of the Windsor
38:12Technique emphasizes
38:13chapping form and spirit,
38:14its body winding,
38:15its head raised,
38:16vivid, lifelike
38:17with smooth and delicate lines.
38:18When attaching the vase ears
38:19and filling the glazes,
38:20I used the Winster Technique's
38:21wire inlay and glaze
38:22filling method,
38:23embedding hair-thin gold wires
38:24into different colored enamel glazes
38:25with pinpoint accuracy,
38:27layering wires and glazes
38:28merged into one,
38:29not a single gap in between.
38:30The entire production process
38:32was done in one smooth flow,
38:33no pauses,
38:34no mistakes.
38:34Every step from clay forming
38:35to glaze filling was flawless,
38:37showcasing the exquisite
38:38craftsmanship and uniqueness
38:39of the Windsor Royal
38:40enamel technique
38:40in all its glory.
38:41But Ethan's face
38:42darkened by the second,
38:43from amusement at first,
38:45to panic,
38:45then to viciousness.
38:46His hands were clenched
38:47into tight fists,
38:48his knuckles white,
38:49his eyes filled with disbelief
38:51and jealousy.
38:51The bazd apprentice page
38:53did a limain ring
38:53out the art of the Windsor.
38:54When the vase was fully shaped,
38:56I pented this
38:56with a century-old killing.
38:57Firing enamel
38:58in the Windsor Royal technique
38:59requires nine heating
39:00and nine cooling cycles.
39:02The temperature must be controlled
39:03with absolute precision.
39:05One degree too high
39:06and the cracks,
39:07one degree too low
39:07and the glazes
39:08loses its luster,
39:09the inseled wires
39:10fall off easily.
39:11I stood by the kiln,
39:12never leaving its side,
39:13watching the thermometer
39:14on the kiln,
39:15adding a handful
39:16of oak firewood
39:17from time to time,
39:18adjusting the flend vents
39:19to control the flame's
39:20size and temperature.
39:21Every movement
39:22was calm and precise.
39:23Three hours later,
39:24the fire was perfect.
39:25I slowly opened
39:26the kiln door
39:27and a rich,
39:28fresh enamel scent
39:28spread out in an instant,
39:30filling the entire
39:30training base.
39:31I put on heat-resistant gloves,
39:33carefully took the enamel vase
39:34out of the kiln
39:35and placed it on a velvet
39:36display stole on the stage
39:37and it is a piece
39:38that I made myself.
39:40This vase is named
39:41Return to Purity.
39:42Return to Purity,
39:44never forget one's
39:44original intent.
39:46This is the artisan spirit
39:47of the Windsor Royal
39:48enamel technique
39:49and it's why
39:50I made this vase.
39:51The crowd erupted
39:52into thunderous applause,
39:54louder than ever before.
39:55The elderly craftsmen
39:57all stood up,
39:58clapping excitedly,
39:59some even tearing up
40:00as they walked to the stage,
40:02carefully touching
40:03the vase's body,
40:04their eyes filled
40:04with awe and admiration.
