Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the last princess of the Siren people. Six years ago, I saved a human man. I loved him,
00:06and I gave him my kingdom secrets.
00:08He repaid me by sealing my voice with a poisoned needle, then led his army to slaughter all 3,000
00:14of my people. He thought I was dead. He was wrong.
00:19Lord Caius crushed four kingdoms before he even turned 30.
00:22Of course, he once infiltrated the Sea Clan as a spy all on his own. It's because of him that
00:27our kingdom is this powerful.
00:28That's why Serafina had to marry him.
00:35Today, we gather here to bind two souls together.
00:39Do you swear upon your life to guard her kingdom as you once swore other vow?
00:48What did you say?
01:02Do you remember what you said?
01:06Kneeling before me.
01:08You said, if your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
01:14You didn't die, but my kingdom fell. My people died. My father died.
01:20You owe my people their lives, Caius. I'm here to collect.
01:24His crown, his alliances, his woman, his reputation. Six years ago, he took everything from me.
01:30Now I want him to watch as it all shatters piece by piece. But first, let me show you how
01:37he stole my entire world.
01:53Please. Hunters are after me. I'm not one of them. I'm who they want to kill. Please.
02:00Hold on.
02:22Eve.
02:26You're safe here. My name is Vesper.
02:31Vesper. You saved my life.
02:36Your injuries were too severe. Any later and I couldn't have helped.
02:46General.
02:49The intelligence about the Siren Clan is all confirmed. Her voice can heal fatal wounds. One song can bring a
02:56dying man back to his feet.
02:59If we obtain this power, battlefield casualties will cease to exist. An entire army will be impervious to blades and
03:05arrows.
03:06Coordinates to follow. Give me time. I will obtain everything.
03:12Sleep. You're safe here.
03:15That was the first time I touched his face.
03:18I thought the heavens had sent him to me.
03:21He touched my face too later. But his other hand was holding a needle.
03:25The western wall stands roughly forty feet high. With a gap. Passable at low tide.
03:34The tribe numbers approximately three thousand. No standing army. Absolute trust in outsiders. No defenses.
03:43That human. You trust him too much.
03:47Father. He's different from the others.
03:51I hope you're right.
03:52Lord, that voice, I'm afraid.
03:54Toe.
04:02Lord, that's pretty great.
04:04Faith and Lord have gotta chant.
04:04Just one piece missing.
04:06Where is the forbidden place?
04:09Morning and Lord have be is nowerned.
04:10This is my home.
04:11I've never brought anyone here before.
04:13I don't even know why I've bought you.
04:17bloque.
04:18Because you trust me.
04:19It's too dangerous out there. Hunters everywhere, I'm afraid.
04:22If hunters ever find this place, if your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
04:30Vesper, I swear it.
04:33I believe you.
04:37One kiss, one location. Next step, she brings me there herself. Not hard. She already believes everything.
04:48Caius, come on!
04:51He said he'd protect me with his life. I believed him.
04:55Then he asked me to open the door I had never let any outsider see. I opened it.
05:05What lies behind this door?
05:08Only my father and I have ever entered.
05:12Caius!
05:14Three hunter's ships have been spotted beyond the coastline.
05:19Three of them.
05:21Vesper, listen to me. If they find your tribe's source of power, they will destroy it first.
05:27Let me see it. I need to know how to defend it.
05:32Those three ships were his doing.
05:36He manufactured the fear, then pretended to be the only way out.
05:45Come inside.
05:52My God.
05:54My God.
06:01This is the source of our tribe's voice.
06:05As long as it endures, we endure.
06:07General, I found it.
06:09A thousand times larger than I imagined.
06:12This isn't a weapon.
06:13It's an entire sea.
06:15If we control it, no force in the world will stand against us.
06:18Come further.
06:20There's more.
06:22A tracking stone.
06:23The general's sorcerers will sense it.
06:26From this moment on, they know the location.
06:31Caius?
06:32I was looking at the patterns.
06:34They're beautiful.
06:35Show me more.
06:44With you here, I'm not afraid.
06:48That was the last time I felt safe.
06:58Will you stay?
07:02Caius?
07:04Caius?
07:05Yes.
07:07I'll always stay.
07:11Do you swear?
07:14I swear.
07:16Then I have nothing to fear.
07:22Venom from a deep-sea jellyfish.
07:24One drop.
07:25And a siren's vocal cords are sealed permanently.
07:28The general's orders.
07:29Capture her alive.
07:31Seal her voice.
07:32Bring her back.
07:32A siren without a voice is more useful than...
07:35...a dead one.
07:36Now is the moment.
07:38She won't wake.
07:39One drop is enough.
07:52One drop is enough.
07:54Tomorrow.
08:16Princess!
08:18Hunters!
08:19Coming from the sea!
08:21They've sealed every entrance!
08:22They've sealed every entrance!
08:23away from the sea!
08:24But where do you go?
08:25No!
08:26No!
08:27No!
08:27No!
08:49No!
08:49All right!
08:52Vesper.
09:04You... you promised me.
09:06You said with your life...
09:08I said many things.
09:10You chose to believe all of them.
09:14Did you ever love me?
09:17Even for one second?
09:19Your kingdom was beautiful.
09:22Your voice was useful.
09:24You're asking the wrong question.
10:07You're asking for the other.
10:09To be continued.
10:16Vesper, don't sing
10:17They're waiting for you to open your throat
10:19The moment you do, they'll know you're still alive
10:22You are the last voice of the Siren people
10:25Father
10:26Live
10:28Take your voice away, you
10:31Someday
11:01You are the last voice of the Siren people
11:17My lord, the entire Siren royal family is confirmed dead
11:20Princess Vessa is on the list
11:22Was her body found?
11:24Swept away by the wave, but given her injuries
11:28Keep looking
11:53Swept away by the death of the Siren people
12:00My lord, the entire family has begun
12:04Burned by the Siren people
12:09I don't know.
12:51If your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
12:56Vesper, I swear it.
13:01You chose to believe all of them.
13:06Live. Take your voice away, you.
13:17No whore singing, no!
13:26No whore singing, no!
13:31Princess.
13:33You're alive.
13:37Princess, you're alive.
13:43How many are low?
13:45Seventeen here, a few more in the western of this. Perhaps...thirty?
13:52The children.
13:53She hasn't spoken since that day. Not because she can't, because she doesn't dare.
14:00I know. I know. I didn't dare over. Took me two years before I dared to open my mouth again.
14:07But we have to open our mouths. Not to sing. To make the ones who did this hear us.
14:14How long have you been waiting here?
14:17Three years.
14:19No more waiting.
14:22Caius, you said I was asking the wrong question.
14:25Fine. Now it's your turn to answer mine. One by one.
14:43I spent three months. Princess Seraphine, his future queen. She trusts anyone who is kind to her. Exactly like me.
14:50Six years ago.
14:54Lyra, you saved my life.
14:59My lord, Princess Seraphine has arrived. She brought a cousin with her, named Lyra.
15:06A cousin.
15:10A distant relative. Very quiet. Insists on personally attending the princess.
15:24Caius, you've finally come.
15:32Hello. My name is Lyra. Hello. My name is Lyra.
15:40It's impossible. You're dead. You should be dead. I personally...
15:52My lord, your hand is shaking.
15:55Is the palace too cold?
16:00A little.
16:03Lyra is the person I trust most. I'm sure you'll like her too.
16:11He knew it was me. I knew he knew. But he couldn't say so because that would mean explaining how
16:16he recognizes a siren princess who died.
16:19And I didn't need him to say it out loud. I only needed him to be afraid.
16:22That woman! Investigate her. Now! I want everything before tomorrow.
16:27My lord, she's only the princess's cousin. I said now!
16:38First one.
16:40You're Seraphine's cousin? You walk like a fisherman's daughter. Whatever you wear as it looks borrowed.
16:45I was the one who introduced Lord Caius to this court. Seraphine is marrying him because of me.
16:49Everyone in this palace owes me something. Including you. Remember your place.
16:55Yes, my lady.
16:59She said she introduced Caius to this court.
17:04And she must know a great deal.
17:09Lyra, sing us a song.
17:10You can't? Of course. Look at these hands.
17:14How many dishes have you washed to make them look like that?
17:23My lady is right. I can't really sing. Only just a little.
17:33I poisoned my husband. Three years ago. He wanted to leave me.
17:42I put poison in his wine. I watched him die.
17:46I don't know why I'm saying this. I can't stop.
17:50Lyra, I'm frightened. Don't be afraid, your highness. I'm here.
17:59She's doing exactly what I did. Step by step. Get close. Earn their trust. And then...
18:05She didn't come back to kill me. She came to destroy everything I own, one piece at a time,
18:09right before my eyes. And I can't tell anyone who she is, because that would mean confessing
18:14that six years ago I slaughtered an entire people.
18:20Sir, just got word. The patrol caught 17 stray Syrians near the entrance to the Singing Sea.
18:27Who's leading them?
18:29An old man with a broken tail. They seemed to be waiting for someone.
18:35We've put them all in the underground sea prison.
18:40Sealed their mouths. Lock it down. No one in the palace is to know.
18:47Even Lady Lyra. I said, no one.
18:53After those deep sea beasts were wiped out, the shipping lanes became ten times safer.
18:58All thanks to Lord Caius.
19:03I hid the siren pearls I looted in the dry well in the western suburbs.
19:08I tore them off a siren child who wasn't even dead yet.
19:13I lied! I staged that riot to swiddle more military fun!
19:20Help me! Why can't I?
19:24What did you do to him?
19:26My man. I only poured a cup of tea. He wanted to confess.
19:32Play this trick once. That's enough. Stop!
19:35The names on the list aren't all dead yet, my lord.
19:39What are you afraid of?
19:41I'm afraid you'll throw away your own life in the end.
19:43My life. It died that night, six years ago.
19:56Father and brother wrote again.
19:58Every letter asks when Caius will send their funds.
20:00Not a word about how I'm doing.
20:05Lyra. Do you think there's anyone left in this world worth trusting?
20:10There is. As long as that person has never lied to you.
20:14What about you? Have you lied to me?
20:18I will never hurt you, your highness.
20:20My lord. The order for Elias. The court is already pressing for it.
20:24Keep him.
20:25But yesterday he admitted in public, embezzling military funds, staging the riot.
20:29He's stolen goods. But stolen goods can be more useful than clean men.
20:33Once this storm at sea passes, let him take the fall.
20:35You're saying?
20:37Among Princess Seraphina's cousins, there's no woman called Lyra?
20:40Yes, my lord. According to records, that distant branch died out in the plague ten years ago.
20:45This Lyra, her identity is a mystery.
20:46So even her identity is borrowed. She's using Seraphina.
20:53Lyra. This officer would like to ask you a few questions about your hometown.
20:56For instance, how did that plague begin?
20:59The plague? I only remember seeing the officer at the coast three years ago.
21:03You were with your men, hunting down escaped operations.
21:07So my lord never gave up hunting the sirens.
21:09Is it because six years ago you didn't kill cleanly enough? Afraid they'll come back for your life?
21:14What nonsense are you spouting?
21:15People in the palace are talking. Our hero Sen's been living in fear all along.
21:19Why else send so many men to guard the post of Forbiddenzer?
21:23Enough. Get out.
21:32Six years ago today, we wiped out the threat from the seas.
21:37Three thousand sirens executed, and we secured a century of maritime power for the empire.
21:45To the final eration of those three thousand souls, drink!
21:57My apologies. I didn't grip it tight enough.
22:01This color, it really does resemble the seawater you described that night, my lord.
22:10Continue. I need to change.
22:23My lord, this is the glory you wanted. How does it taste?
22:28What is it you want? To kill me? Then do it, now!
22:34Death would be too kind. I want you fully awake, watching the monument you built,
22:42rotting inch by inch.
22:45Lyra?
22:47If you don't let go, Seraphine will see.
22:51Lyra! Lyra!
22:59Caius!
23:00You look pale. Are you too tired?
23:03It's nothing. The wine was too strong.
23:06You look pale.
23:07You look pale.
23:24I'm too tired.
23:25The wine was too large.
23:25I don't know what it is.
23:25I mean...
23:25I just wanna know.
23:27I don't know what the wine was such a thorough.
23:29I don't know what the wine was.
23:31All right.
23:34Something's wrong.
23:36The Elder would never miss a meeting.
23:44Mira,
23:46where are you?
23:59They're all at the Singing Sea.
24:02If you knew, you'd want to tear me apart right now, wouldn't you?
24:18Lyra, last night I heard Caius arguing with his officer.
24:22They mentioned the Singing Sea.
24:24Said they caught important war prisoners.
24:27Isn't that a royal forbidden zone?
24:29What kind of people would be locked up there?
24:34Your Highness.
24:35I think I need to leave the palace for a while.
24:38Now?
24:39But we're supposed to go pray at the temple this afternoon.
24:45I lost something very important.
24:48I have to find it.
24:51It's me.
24:52I'm Vesper.
24:53What happened?
24:56Where's Mira?
24:57Did Mira send you to find me?
25:0117 of them.
25:03All captured.
25:04And the Elders.
25:07Understood.
25:09Hide in the woods outside the city.
25:10Wait for me.
25:15Mira.
25:17It's Mira.
25:20Wait for me.
25:27Where did you go?
25:31I went to see an old friend.
25:34It's dangerous out there.
25:37Lyra.
25:38Do you have a secret? Can you tell me?
25:40Your Highness.
25:42Some secrets will cost a life.
25:55That's the water channel we used to use.
25:58They've welded shut.
26:03Only three guards inside.
26:05Follow me.
26:06Mira should be inside.
26:14Princess.
26:16You shouldn't have come.
26:22Move.
26:23Now.
26:30I've been waiting for you.
26:32There's no way out.
26:34Vesper.
26:35Stay.
26:39Attack!
26:43No.
26:49No!
26:51No!
26:51No!
26:52Go to the sea.
26:57No!
27:01No!
27:05No!
27:06No!
27:06No!
27:10No!
27:11No!
27:11Yes, you're a lie.
27:22Too few names.
27:23What I want to judge is the lie of the entire palace city.
27:31We can't save them.
27:33Mira's gone too.
27:35He didn't slaughter the past us.
27:38He's slaughtering the us of now.
27:41And the us of now still has a voice.
27:50I sent them back to the dungeon.
27:52Come back with me.
27:54I promise they live.
27:55Your promise?
27:56Is it those 3,000 graves from six years ago?
28:02Tell me what you want.
28:04Anything.
28:05What I want, you can't give.
28:08You already owe.
28:123,000 lives.
28:14How will you pay?
28:32Oh, my God!
28:34Oh, my God!
28:35Oh, my God!
28:44Oh, my God!
28:52There he is.
28:52It's the princess!
28:53Yes.
29:37My lord, the flagship is lost.
29:38No survivors.
29:39And the messengers sent to deliver the execution order to the singing sea.
29:43Where are the messengers?
29:44All three messenger boats were capsized by huge waves less than a mile from shore.
29:47Carrier pigeons crashed into the sea the moment they flew out.
29:50We've lost all contact with the garrison.
29:52This sea I conquered for six years.
29:54Now it's becoming a war.
29:56That's not something an ordinary person can do.
30:02I can't move a single soldier to the coast.
30:05My lord, this venom, it's from back then.
30:08Her voice can destroy everything.
30:10Only this can silence her one more time.
30:12But the entrance to the singing sea is already controlled by her people.
30:15We can't get it in.
30:16No need to send it in.
30:17The underground water pipes are still ours.
30:19Pour it into the upstream source, that's enough.
30:21My lord, that will kill every siren's held there.
30:24I know.
30:30It's the venom in the water!
30:32That's how they killed the princess's voice back then!
30:42He wants to take my voice away.
30:44One more time.
30:45I've heard the lord can't hold the sirens back anymore.
30:47The whole sea is full of their songs.
30:49That so-called hero of the sea back then, wasn't it a borrowed reputation?
30:53She's stripping away every honor I lived on, just as I stripped away her people.
30:59The ancient blood awakens.
31:05Break the chains.
31:07Return to the sea.
31:09What?
31:09What is this monster power?
31:27The sea returns to its masters.
31:33Princess!
31:34Drown the whole palace city!
31:35Let them taste what extinction feels like!
31:38Their children shouldn't pay for their father's debts.
31:42The sea!
31:43It's falling from the sky!
31:50The power I schemed for six years ago.
31:56Now,
31:59I can do nothing.
32:00I can do something.
32:13I can do nothing.
32:32The sea, the sea has eyes
32:35Look, who is that?
32:53My man, order the mage towers now
32:57The water is flooding in
32:58It's already destroyed the memorial and the statue
33:05It's useless
33:08This is her roll call
33:18Please
33:19No
33:24Gods
33:24I was on the shore then
33:27I thought they were just beasts
33:31The sound
33:32It carries across the entire coast
33:44This melody
33:45It's exactly the same as my motherland's morning song
33:48I think the sound of God
34:03I think the sound of God
34:03The whole game thinks the shadow of God
34:03Is it okay for you?
34:13I don't know.
34:47This is the Royal Seal. This is the Military Teller. This is the Imperial Decree Seal. He used these three
34:53things to kill my father and brother. Today they leave with me.
35:00My Lord, Her Highness is gone.
35:03And the rosewood chest in the hidden compartment of your study, it's empty too.
35:15She didn't just leave. She took every token I needed to command this empire.
35:24Did you think I married you out of obedience? Six years ago, while you slaughtered the Silas, you also wiped
35:30out my motherland's royal family.
35:33You used my father's and brother's lives to force me to be in your queen.
35:37Every day I looked at you. I was counting down to when you would die.
35:40Now the sea has come back, and I should take back what belongs to me. I don't forgive you. Not
35:47ever.
35:48The Alliance I was proud of, it was built on her blood-stoked hatred.
35:52The safe woman I protected, she wanted to kill me with her own hands.
35:55All of it, all of it, was a lie.
36:06Come.
36:08Your Majesty, still waiting for your army?
36:11They've already thrown their armor into the sea outside the city, begging for forgiveness.
36:17Elias, you should run too.
36:23Run! I knelt under this throne for six years. Your so-called hero of the sea name, I built it
36:30for you with severed heads.
36:32Now the sea is back. You can't hold it down, and you want us to die with you?
36:37Hand over the royal seal and the treasury order. You're not the king anymore.
36:42You're a cursed disaster. This seat belongs to someone who can keep the land alive.
36:47Give it to you, Elias. Listen to what's outside.
36:55The sea doesn't want the royal seal. Sit, then, if you think you can survive the night in that chair.
37:05This is what I traded three 3,000 lives for.
37:263,000 lives! 3,000 children you've dumped into the sea, Trench!
37:34Princess, let me kill him. My son. They were on that beach that night. Let me kill him!
37:41We don't use his way.
37:43Why? He's a monster! He slaughtered our whole people!
37:47If today we kill a man kneeling for death, then this sea will no longer be the Singing Sea.
37:52It will be another land filled with hate.
37:54Go back. The sea is waiting for you, not your death here.
38:00Why save me? Kill me. Please.
38:03Killing would be too easy. Live. Watch this sea. Remember every life. This is the rest of your existence.
38:08Every time you close your eyes, I want you to dream of those 3,000 voices.
38:14Don't leave me alone! Don't make me carry these memories by myself!
38:19The sea doesn't want me. The land won't let me return.
38:23The sea doesn't want me. The sea doesn't want me. The sea doesn't want me.
38:53The sea's nothing forever!
38:57The sea doesn't want me. The sea doesn't want me. The sea doesn't want me.
39:00The sea doesn't want me. The sea doesn't want me. moto andוט diree, the sea does not be true.
