Short filmTranscript
00:02Where am I?
00:05What happened?
00:07I stayed up reading and I passed out from exhaustion.
00:10How did this happen?
00:14I do not believe in destiny.
00:18I choose it.
00:20Not even God gets to control my life.
00:35Can't talk?
00:36As a CEO, am I gonna die in the woods?
00:41Are you kidding me?
00:45No!
00:46Help!
00:47I don't want to die!
00:52Father, there is a child.
00:54Alarak, bring the child to me.
00:56Alarak?
00:57Wait.
00:58That name sounds familiar.
01:01Are these two?
01:02The king and the crown prince from novel I was reading?
01:05I'm actually inside the book.
01:07Father, did you hear that?
01:09In the novel, they adopt an abandoned baby.
01:12Then that hypocrite Neressa realizes the baby soul is pure energy.
01:17Perfect for her dark magic.
01:19Still playing ice and suck me dry!
01:22I'm the cannon fodder!
01:24I'm gonna die!
01:26Father, we are truly hearing her thoughts.
01:29But how did she know Nerissa?
01:31How can she know things that haven't happened?
01:33Keep watching.
01:35Perhaps she is a warning from the heavens.
01:39She is a bright and lovely kid.
01:42I'll raise her in the palace.
01:44Don't take me!
01:46Your whole family!
01:48I'm sure it needs a ghost!
01:53Alarak, I have state affairs to attend to.
01:56Watch over the infant for now.
01:57I'll have the maids prepare a separate room for her.
02:02Don't go, old man!
02:05Did she just call father an old man?
02:11Alarak?
02:11What is that in your arms?
02:14What is that in your arms?
02:14No way!
02:15You gotta be kidding me!
02:17I literally just got here!
02:19And there she is!
02:21The heroine!
02:22Neressa!
02:24Classic fairytale face.
02:26However, total lie.
02:28That's how she fools everyone.
02:30Alarak?
02:31What is that in your arms?
02:33Father just rescued this baby from the wild.
02:36He's planning to adopt her.
02:37Such a pure soul.
02:40Perfect for my dark magic.
02:43Drain her.
02:44And I'm unstoppable.
02:46Alarak, since father is busy, why not let me watch her?
02:50I promise to cherish her like my own flesh and blood.
02:54Help!
02:55You idiot!
02:56She's going to eat me!
02:58My soul is literally screaming!
03:01Stop!
03:02I can't breathe!
03:05Someone can help me!
03:12Nerissa!
03:13What did you do?
03:16I...
03:16I don't know, Alarak!
03:18I...
03:18I barely touched her!
03:20Why is she bleeding?
03:21Oh my god!
03:22Is she too frail to even be held?
03:24Come on!
03:25You were literally trying to suck the life out of me,
03:28and now I'm too fragile?
03:33Alarak, I know you're stiff, but making Nerissa cry?
03:36That's a new low.
03:38Julian, don't blame him.
03:40He's probably just stressed about the new baby.
03:43Alarak, I think you owe Nerissa as an explanation.
03:47Ugh, another brainwashed pawn.
03:49Julian, do you have any idea she's the reason you end up as a beggar on the streets?
03:54Wake up, genius!
03:57I'm sorry, Alarak.
03:58I'm not used to holding a baby.
04:00I didn't mean to hurt her.
04:02Hey, don't be upset, Atnarissa.
04:04Got this for you on my trip.
04:05Best rouge.
04:06Ugh!
04:06Again?
04:07Cheap junk.
04:09Like I care.
04:10So annoying.
04:11Ugh, Julian is totally blinded.
04:13Every single gift he gives her ends up in the trash the second he turns around.
04:18Wait!
04:19What was that?
04:20Thought you were smarter.
04:22She literally fools you.
04:23No wonder you end up a beggar in the book.
04:25You could have been brilliant for this kingdom.
04:28Instead, she bleeds you dry while turning father against you, making it look like you're the one wasting it all.
04:34Can I actually hear her thoughts?
04:35Don't be fooled by Narissa's innocent act.
04:38Look at her sleeve.
04:39That ruby ring.
04:40The only heirloom your mom left is in there.
04:45Oh, wait.
04:46I just remembered.
04:48I grabbed the wrong one.
04:49Atnarissa, this rouge isn't for you.
04:50It's actually for the head mate.
04:52What?
04:53But-
04:53Give it back.
04:54I'll bring you something much better later.
05:01Caught red handed.
05:03Let's see how you lie your way out of this one, princess.
05:13Why do you have my mother's ruby ring?
05:16I have no idea.
05:17It just appeared on my desk.
05:20Julian, I was on my way to give it back to father.
05:23Wow, the audacity!
05:26Did the ring grow legs and crawl into your sleeve to dance?
05:31Why didn't it crawl into my arms instead?
05:42Mother's ruby ring.
05:46It chose her.
05:47Fine.
05:48Then as a welcome gift.
05:50It's hers now.
05:52Really? Julian, you're the best!
05:56Since you're being so generous, I'll make sure you become the richest man alive.
06:02No one's stealing from you on my watch.
06:05I was going to refine this ruby.
06:08It's the last ingredient I need for my level up potion.
06:12I have to get it back.
06:14She's still a baby.
06:16This gift is way too valuable for her. Julian, let me hold on to it for now.
06:22Too much for her, but not for you.
06:24Or is it that you've never cared for anything I give you, and only have eyes for my mother's heirloom?
06:30Is this really what you think of me?
06:33Forget it, Julian.
06:34You're wasting your breath.
06:36She'll never admit it, no matter how much you press her.
06:40Forget the ring!
06:41Felix is ambushed and badly hurt at the border.
06:45The enemy spies will kidnap him if we don't move!
06:48The border? Felix is in trouble?
06:55Father!
06:59No!
07:03No!
07:06No!
07:08No!
07:08No!
07:08No!
07:09Where is Felix?
07:10Where's my brother?
07:13Father!
07:14Alaric!
07:15I just saw Felix by the canyon.
07:17It looked like he was retreating that way.
07:19Move!
07:20Let's find him!
07:22Don't listen to her!
07:23It's the other way!
07:25She's lying so you won't find him, and Felix will be kidnapped by the spies!
07:30If you don't save him, father, you'll think he abandoned his post.
07:35You'll lose all trust in him, and it ends with the brothers killing each other.
07:40Poor Felix!
07:42Perfect.
07:43This is the chance to see if this baby's thoughts are actually true.
07:48Father, I saw signs of a struggle in the opposite direction. Felix might be over there.
07:53In that case, split up! Search both ways!
08:02To the left!
08:03To the left!
08:04Hurry!
08:05Felix is behind that cave!
08:07He's barely holding on!
08:09Hang on, Felix!
08:16Felix!
08:17Felix!
08:18We made it just in time.
08:20Don't worry, brother.
08:21I am here to save you.
08:23I'm so sorry, Father Alaric.
08:26I was so panicked on the battlefield that I got confused.
08:29I actually meant to point in this direction, too.
08:32That's enough!
08:32We need to treat Alaric. Just get out!
08:49Father, there are spies in the border guard. Our secret passage. The enemy found it.
08:54I know. Just focus on recovering. I'll handle the rest.
08:58Thank God! In the book, the king didn't trust Felix and refused to heal him.
09:03He was even going to exile him.
09:05Felix tried to prove himself by infiltrating the enemy, but he was framed as a spy and...
09:10Father executed him with his own hands on the battlefield.
09:13He died screaming his innocence.
09:15Am I actually hearing this baby's thoughts?
09:18How can she predict the future?
09:21Father, who is this baby?
09:23I've decided to formally adopt her. From this day on, she is Princess Sarah of Valeria.
09:27What about... Nerissa? She hasn't even been officially titled yet.
09:31Oh my God! Felix, did you lose your brain on the battlefield?
09:34You're still worried about that wicked woman. You were hit by a poison arrow, remember?
09:39She's the one who brewed that poison. She used you as a lab rat to test her dark potions.
09:44Father, was I poisoned?
09:47Don't worry. I will get to the bottom of this.
09:54Father is actually adapting that writ, giving her a royal title.
09:58I'm the only princess in this palace.
10:00Ever since that baby arrived, nothing has gone right.
10:02I didn't think a pure soul could have this much influence.
10:06If I can't have her soul, I'll kill her.
10:08What are you doing here eavesdropping?
10:10Julian, I was just so worried about Felix.
10:13Worried? I certainly didn't see any sign of that.
10:16Is it because I'm too clumsy?
10:18Do you all love the new baby now and don't care about me anymore?
10:21Unbelievable. Inviting a baby for attention?
10:24I've never seen anyone so shameless.
10:27Enough with the drama. We're taking Sarah to the royal auction. Get out of the way.
10:30The auction? I wanna go too!
10:32We're gonna buy a welcome print for Sarah. Why are you coming?
10:35You always used to take me with you.
10:37Follow us if you must.
10:39Fine by me. That's where Nerissa finds the sapphire necklace.
10:42It has a shield that can block a lethal blow in a crisis.
10:46Father's final strike will be because of that necklace.
10:49I want it! Brothers, you better buy it for me or I'll cry my eyes out!
10:56Wow! I want that and that too!
10:58Being a princess is amazing! All these shiny treasures should be mine!
11:02Distinguished guests, next up is the Pure Snow Lotus from the Frozen Lands.
11:09It contains the purest energy, perfect for crafting holy elixirs.
11:15Starting at 500 gold coins!
11:18The Pure Snow Lotus? This is exactly what I need to replace the ruby for my potion.
11:23Alaric, I really want that. Could you get it for me?
11:27Fine.
11:29I knew it. This moron is still no match for my mind control spell.
11:355,000 gold coins.
11:37Sold!
11:37Congratulations to the crown prince on securing this treasure!
11:40Thank you, Alaric. I knew you cared about me the most.
11:42Don't mention it.
11:44Felix needs the pure energy of this lotus for his recovery.
11:47It's for him.
11:48Ha! Alarity's finally wising up!
11:51Nerassa's mind control doesn't seem to work anymore!
11:53Where is that sapphire necklace Sarah mentioned?
11:55Did the information be wrong?
11:56Excuse me, is this how a major auction house treats the Valonia Royals?
12:01Peddling these common trinkles to us?
12:04My apologies, Prince Julian.
12:06We did just receive a true treasure today.
12:08It wasn't in the catalogue yet.
12:09Don't make us wait. Bring it out now.
12:11If our Sarah likes it, I don't care who bids, I'll pay ten times their price.
12:14What? Spending that much on a baby who knows nothing?
12:17Julian, have you lost your mind?
12:20Julian, so you're using the National Treasury to entertain a baby.
12:23I suppose your kingdom is nearing its end.
12:26Your understanding of wealth clearly differs from mine.
12:30What you see as a national fortune, I see as a single day's profit.
12:33That's it! The eternal guardian!
12:36With this, no wicked curse or dark magic can ever touch me.
12:41Sarah definitely wants it.
12:42That's mine!
12:43My instincts are screaming that treasure was meant for me!
12:46There it is.
12:47No matter the cost, that necklace must never fall into Nerissa's hands.
12:54Distinguished guests, this is the eternal guardian starting bid 10,000 gold coins!
13:04Alaric, Julian, why aren't you bidding?
13:07This treasure is one of a kind.
13:08It would be a tragedy to lose it.
13:12Sister, how did you know I liked it?
13:13Since you're so thoughtful, why don't you buy it for me?
13:17Princess Nerissa of Valeria bids 50,000 gold coins!
13:22It's not me! I don't have the money! I can't afford this!
13:25These brothers and father have showered you with wealth for years, and you have the nerve to say you have
13:29no money?
13:30Figures. She's been using every pure energy treasure for her vile potions.
13:35Alaric, Julian is being so mean to me!
13:38100,000!
13:40I knew it. He's the easiest to manipulate. One fake tear and he'll hand over the necklace.
13:46I can see Sarah is very fond of this treasure. Since neither of you can afford it, I'll buy it
13:51for Sarah as a welcome gift.
13:52Enough! You two are disgusting ganging up on poor, innocent Nerissa!
13:58Fine! If you two won't appreciate her, I will take this necklace for her.
14:05200,000!
14:08I knew that Prince Sebastian looked familiar! It's definitely him!
14:13Nerissa's already in league with him!
14:15They're just sure as pushing the price up!
14:17In the book, Julian, over ten times the value just to save face!
14:20And half that money went straight into Sebastian's pocket!
14:23Well, Prince Sebastian, I wonder exactly how much you're willing to pay to play the hero for my sister.
14:29His limit is one million gold coins. He'll stop right there and wait for Julian to take the bait.
14:35990,000 gold coins.
14:37Idiots. Always doubling the bid. One more raise from Sebastian and Julian will definitely hit two million.
14:44Then both the treasure and the money will be mine.
14:47One million! Anyone else?
14:50One million gold coins going once! Twice!
14:53One million sold! Congratulations to Prince Sebastian on winning the Eternal Guardian!
14:59Wait! Why aren't you bidding? Sold! Where am I supposed to get that much money?
15:04Haha! Talk about a backfire! Let's see how you two split the loot now!
15:12Narasa!
15:13You told me Julian was a rich fool who would drain the treasury for you! Why isn't he bidding?
15:18Have you lost your mind? You can't afford it so you're throwing dirt on me? I have no idea what
15:22you're talking about!
15:23Oh wow! Look at them tear each other apart! Sebastian, you're toast! Narasa treats men like disposable rags! She's done
15:33with you!
15:34Prince Sebastian, by the rules! If you refuse to pay, you must pay a 50% penalty immediately! Or Vyreboot
15:44Kingdom will be blacklisted forever!
15:46Blacklist me? How dare you? My father is the Grand Archmit of the Sacred Domain! Try it, and I'll tear
15:54this auction house down stone by stone!
15:58Guards! Get in here! Surround this dishonest auction house! Smash everything! Kill anyone who stands in my way!
16:10Try me!
16:12Brothers, watch out! He's got a forbidden scroll hidden in his boot! He's planning to trigger a lava blurs to
16:19burn everyone alive and fake it as an accident!
16:29In the original story, it's exactly this auction that rules father to trust in at Julian! That's how at Julian
16:35started his downward spiral into ruin!
16:38Julian, don't let Narasa and Sebastian destroy you! This entire mess is a trap they set up together!
16:45I plan to use Julian for it, but you've forced me. Today, that sapphire necklace must be mine!
17:03Sebastian, did you forget this auction house is my property? You are declaring open war on the Kingdom of Valeria!
17:18Wow! Julian is amazing! He's a total beast! He looks so cool! I knew Julian was a genius in both
17:26business and magic!
17:28Did you hear that? Sarah definitely likes me more!
17:36Since Prince can't afford it, I'm taking this necklace.
17:41This is my official gift to Sarah.
17:43No!
17:45That's mine!
17:49That's mine!
17:51Oh my god! Is Narasa actually having a meltdown right now?
17:55Her dark magic isn't even finished yet!
17:58Showing her true face now will be a few mistakes!
18:02She still needs the Divine Stagger's antlers from the upcoming royal hunt!
18:06Julian, Alaric only cares about the baby now!
18:10You can't be biased against me too, can you? You used to cherish me the most!
18:14Look at you. Everything you're wearing, from dress to every piece of jewellery, all paid for by me, now that
18:19you mention it.
18:19I need to get Sarah a gift.
18:21I'm buying out every single item from today's auction.
18:25Send it all to the palace as gifts to Sarah.
18:28Wow! Julian is the best!
18:30He's literally a walking goldmine!
18:32He's so rich and powerful!
18:35I love this CEO vibe!
18:37Julian is my absolute favorite!
18:41You've all been bewitched by this mysterious brat!
18:45I'm going back to tell Father and Felix!
18:49They'll make this right!
18:52What grievances do you have to report?
18:54Since we're all here, why don't you tell me yourself?
18:57Wow! Father and Felix look so cool making an entrance like that!
19:10Felix! You're finally here!
19:13They're ganging up on me with that little brat! You have to do something!
19:17Don't cry.
19:19You are my most precious sister. I will make sure justice is served for you.
19:24Felix hasn't even touched that brat yet. He's still under my spell.
19:29With him on my side, no one dared to touch me.
19:32Oh no! I remember now! Nerissa's poison arrows contain a mind control curse.
19:39In the book, that's how she manipulated Felix into entering the enemy camp alone to frame him as a spy!
19:47Help! The poison in Aunt Felix isn't gone yet!
19:51Father! Alaric! Julian! Save him! He's being controlled by that witch again!
20:06Get off me!
20:09Oh my god! My brothers are way too cool! That seamless coordination was a perfect 10!
20:16Julian refining, Alarac assisting, and Militix waking up? So badass!
20:25Alaric, bring Sarah to me. I want to hold the little one too.
20:30I almost forgot about this old geezer.
20:34Don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to punish Julian!
20:38In the book, Alaric just tried to speak up for Julian, and this old man banished them to the Black
20:44Domean Abyss for the royal hunt!
20:46He called it training, but it was a death sentence!
20:49They were swarmed by high level beasts.
20:52Alaric lost a leg, and Julian's manor veins were shattered protecting him. He became a total cripple.
20:59Father, may I hold Sarah as well?
21:02And then there's poor Felix. He was supposed to be the champion of the hunt, titled The God of War,
21:08and lead our armies to victory.
21:10But in the book, Nerissa made sure he never even made it back from the border.
21:15The next time he saw father was on the battlefield as enemies. Such a tragic...
21:20Enough! You're just ganging up on me! When my father finishes his meditation, he'll slaughter you all!
21:26Fine. Since you're so confident, we'll see you at the royal hunt! Let's see who kills who. Return to the
21:31palace!
21:39Don't touch me!
21:40Aren't you afraid I'll run over there right now and tell them exactly who you really are?
21:45Useless trash! Stay away from me! If it weren't for my grand plan, I'd rip your tongue out right now!
21:49How could you think that? I'm only using them to gather intelligence. Don't forget, we are allies for the hunt.
21:56You'd better mean that.
22:02Tomorrow is the royal hunt.
22:05All three of you will participate and fight for the honor of Valeria.
22:10This old man is so stubborn, he's a hopeless case.
22:13He knows it's a trap, and he's still sending them!
22:16Neraza and Sebastian have already set a deadly trap in the mist forest.
22:20My three tall, handsome, rich brothers are walking straight to their deaths!
22:28I'll have secret guards watching Nerissa. She won't be allowed to leave the palace.
22:33Wait, the old geezer is actually waking up? Looks like Nerissa's little act is falling apart!
22:38As for Sarah, she cannot go. I will stay at the palace to protect her personally.
22:44Are you kidding me? I take it back! How can you leave me here with Nerissa? She'll suck my soul
22:51dry while you're napping!
22:53Help! I want to go to the hunt with my brothers! Don't leave me in this death trap!
22:59Father, I think we should take Sarah with us.
23:03Exactly. She has Mother's Ring and the Eternal Guardian.
23:06In terms of defense, she's actually the safest one among us.
23:11Sarah is our lucky star. Who knows? Maybe she'll be the one protecting us.
23:16There's definitely a generation gap with the old man. My brothers are the best.
23:22Fine, fine. Have it your way. But the four of you must stay together. Do not let your guard down.
23:30Welcome to the annual royal hunt. Whoever captures the legendary sacred stag will be crowned this year's champion.
23:40Now, I declare, let the hunt begin!
23:52Nerissa? What are you doing here?
23:57You three must have pitied me so it didn't wake me up. That's why I'm a bit late.
24:02Nonsense! Who authorized your release? You are not participating in this hunt. Return to the palace at once!
24:07Why? Why can a foundling baby go but I, your daughter, cannot?
24:12Father, you are being far too biased.
24:14This is a royal command!
24:18You old fool getting in my way. Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first!
24:23Oh no! She used dark magic to force a power boost so she could wipe out my brothers!
24:28She can't control the energy! She's about to strike father! Look out, old man!
24:33Nerissa! The forest is incredibly dangerous. Father is only concerned for your safety.
24:40My, my! If you brothers don't want Nerissa, I certainly do.
24:45Nerissa! Since your brothers don't cherish you, come with me instead.
24:49Fine! Since you're so eager to be the fool, take her with you.
24:52Brothers, let's move out. Sarah is losing her patience.
24:55That baby is a total jinx. Nothing but bad luck whenever she's around.
25:01Fine. I'll go without Sebastian for now and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
25:05Then I thank you, Prince Sebastian. Let's go.
25:17Bore at 50 meters to the left. Combat power, two stars.
25:21Juliet can handle it with a snap of his fingers.
25:24But do not touch that sweet-smelling grass straight ahead.
25:27It's a soul-eater spider trap.
25:29Nerissa said it's specific for Felix because she knows he loves the scent of that herb.
25:34That was close. I almost fell for it again.
25:37Felix, what's wrong?
25:39Nothing. I just feel like the mist is getting thicker.
25:43Of course it's thick. Sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll.
25:47He's turning this forest into an inescapable labyrinth.
25:51Julian, do you have any treasures that can break through a labyrinth seal?
25:54It seems completely useless against the seal tainted with dark magic.
25:57Of course it won't work. The forest's guardian, the sacred stag, has been trapped by the wicked array they set
26:03up beforehand.
26:04With the stag trapped, the forest's purication is gone.
26:08If you guys don't find the stag and break the seal by midnight,
26:11every pure soul in this forest will become fuel from the rest of dark magic.
26:15That includes me! She'll drain me dry! Help, help, help!
26:20Since we can't walk out of here, locate the stag directly.
26:23Don't be afraid, Sarah. As long as we're here, we won't let anything happen to you.
26:29Wow! My brothers are the best! Come on, think! Where exactly is the sacred stag?
26:35Ah! I remember now! It's under that withered millennial oak tree.
26:41That's the heart of the forest and the center of the array.
26:44The stag is trapped in a dark magic seal called the Eternal Cage.
26:51The poor stag. Those black chains are draining its life force.
26:56Brothers, look! There are four skulls around the array. Those are the anchor points. They must be destroyed at the
27:02same time.
27:05Four anchor points, but there are only three of us.
27:07There's me too! The sapphire necklace around my neck. The Eternal Guardian.
27:13Its power is the perfect counter for this evil stuff. Just throw it over!
27:17Mr. Sarah, this is our only shot.
27:23Julian, Felix, get ready. On three.
27:28One, two, three.
27:38You're useless. You couldn't even keep the labyrinth seal intact. And you promised they'd never return.
27:46What do you know? You think they've won just because they freed that stag?
27:50That was the trap within the trap. The true dark magic isn't in those skulls. It is inside the stag
27:57itself.
27:58As long as they get close to that beast, the curse triggers. Just watch. They'll all be dead within seconds!
28:09Stop! Stop! Alaric, don't go any closer!
28:12That stag is a time bomb!
28:14Nerisha planted a void curse in its heart! It's going to blow!
28:19Alaric? What is it?
28:21What do I do? It's too late! The curse has already sucked Alaric!
28:32Sarah!
28:47My god! The sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own!
28:52It's a soul covenant!
28:53From now on, the power of this entire forest belongs to her. As long as she stands on this land,
28:59she is practically a goddess.
29:03Brothers!
29:08Sarah, is that you?
29:10Oh my god! I'm grown up! I can speak! Heaven has finally to its senses!
29:17Br-brothers!
29:20Sarah! You can speak!
29:23I can actually talk!
29:25Finally! All the things I've been screaming in my head, I can finally say them out loud!
29:31How can this be?
29:34Where is my power? Where is my dark magic?
29:38It seems the forest's spiritual energy has drained you dry.
29:49The sacred stag has bonded with my daughter!
29:52Father! The sacred stag has bonded its soul to Sarah!
29:55Volodya has won this year's hunt!
30:03Father! Father! Save me! Sebastian tricked me! He wants to kill me!
30:08Finally, this moment, after holding it in for so long, this time I am saying it out loud!
30:16This gentle, kind, at Prince Enoris, he is in truth, a witch who has practiced dark magic for many years.
30:23Before this hunt, she forced her dark magic past its limit, hoping to wipe out my brothers in the forest.
30:29But the forest's pure energy turned against her. And now, every ounce of her power is gone.
30:36Felix poisoning, Ajulian's framing, all those strange events in the palace, it was all your dying.
30:48So what if it was?
30:50All of this was supposed to be mine!
30:53Father's love, the princess's devotion, the fate of the kingdom, until that filthy thing from the wilderness appeared!
31:00She stole my destiny! She took everything that was supposed to be mine!
31:05I did not steal your destiny. You chose your own path of no return.
31:11If I cannot have anything, then you shall have nothing in either!
31:16Enough!
31:25Sarah!
31:36Sarah!
31:40Sarah!
31:41Open your eyes!
31:43You vile witch!
31:46She's dead! She's dead! My destiny has returned to me!
31:53There's... there's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your Majesty! The little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic! She... she has fallen into a deep slumber!
32:04How could this be undone?!
32:06How could this be undone?!
32:06The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force. It will not lift until that magic naturally
32:12fades, or... unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess. Today you have wield dark magic,
32:22poisoned the royal house, and struck down my own daughter.
32:25I hereby decree, you are stripped of your status as a ward of Veloria, and of every title bestowed upon
32:30you!
32:30From this day forth, you are banished from this kingdom, never to return!
32:35Father! One day you will regret this!
32:41Home. Let us go home.
32:47Little one, let me hear your voice one more time, please.
32:54Brother, I'll go after Narisha and force her to undo the curse with her own hands!
32:58It's no use. Her magic is gone, she can do nothing now.
33:01From the day father brought this little one home from the wilderness, every single day we heard her chattering in
33:06our minds.
33:08So loud, so annoying. And yet now...
33:13Hmm. Why is it so dark? Where is this?
33:18Sarah?
33:19I feel like I'm dreaming, but this dream feels so real. I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother, you heard that too.
33:29We heard it. It's Sarah, it's her voice.
33:35What is it? Has Sarah woken?
33:38Hmm. Do I smell hot milk? Is that father?
33:42Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger, you need your rest.
33:50Sarah? My Sarah?
33:52Sarah? You're still here.
33:58Sarah, I caught you a spirit squirrel from the Holy Mountains of the North.
34:02They say its call brings joy to whoever hears it.
34:05It's so noisy! Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:10Out, out, out! You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days. It's fine.
34:18Why am I asleep?
34:20I remember exposing Nerissa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:27Why did I grow to seven years old?
34:29I rushed it.
34:31In the original story, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later, only then driven to her
34:38dead end.
34:39I exposed her too early.
34:41She still had her last breath of magic when I did.
34:44It was not supposed to happen this way.
34:46I sped up everyone's fate.
34:48I bent the entire story by force.
34:52And now it's bending back on me.
34:55Then, how do I wake up?
34:59Let the story return to its rightful course.
35:03In the original story, Nerissa does not die so easily.
35:06She flees to Sebastian's kingdom, claims to have gained the gift of prophecy, and ignites war between the two kingdoms.
35:12Then she is outwitted, exposed, discarded, and meets a wretched end.
35:15That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:21Only when Nerissa walks her original fate to the end will I have any chance of waking.
35:26But, I am asleep now.
35:29I can do nothing.
35:31How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:35You heard her?
35:37Yes.
35:38Let the original plot unfold as it should.
35:40Now this is interesting.
35:42My foolish little girl.
35:44You think father and your brothers would ever let you bear this alone?
35:48Our spies report that Nerissa has slipped into the Vervemont palace alone and sought audience with Sebastian.
35:55Useless! Her magic is gone!
35:57Why didn't our men intercept her on the road?
35:59Felix, did you forget what Sarah said?
36:01The story must return to its rightful course.
36:03Nerissa fleeing to Sebastian was always part of the original plot.
36:06So we... help her?
36:08Help her perform this play to its very last act.
36:11Let the wretched ending the original book wrote for her fall upon her word for word.
36:17Well, well.
36:19If it isn't the cast out princess of Valeria, what brings you here?
36:23Your highness.
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:29You? A powerless wretch? With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone, but in the moment of the backlash I gain something far more terrifying.
36:41What thing?
36:42The gift of prophecy.
36:44I can see every movement of Valeria's army.
36:48Words alone prove nothing.
36:51If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
36:55Tell me how, your highness. I will do anything.
36:58I may have lost my magic, but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered.
37:04That is enough.
37:09In the original story, Nerissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
37:16Sebastian.
37:21Sarah said there is a spy of Nerissa's inside the palace feeding intelligence to Sebastian.
37:26As I expected.
37:28A stable boy in the palace named Marcus.
37:31Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed, each time by a different route at a different
37:38hour.
37:38Seize him.
37:40Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no.
37:45He is our finest tool for sending Nerissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Nerissa exactly the intelligence she craves.
37:56Your highness.
37:58This woman's origins are dubious.
38:00Will you really entrust military secrets to her prophecies?
38:04I want to see for myself whether her boasts can withstand scrutiny.
38:10Speak.
38:11Predict every troop movement Valeria will make in the coming month.
38:15My ministers will record every word.
38:18In seven days, Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier, with Prince Julian personally overseeing the
38:26supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates, and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
38:34In other words, on the 8th of next month, Valeria's eastern frontier will be an empty city, defended only by
38:41leaderless reserves.
38:42Such precision.
38:44And how am I to verify this?
38:46Send your highness's most trusted spy into Valeria to verify.
38:50I stake my own head on the truth bit.
38:52And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited, for a thousand years.
38:59Nerissa attended Sebastian's war council today.
39:03She predicts our army's movements.
39:07In the original story, Sebastian sends a spy to Valeria to verify.
39:11This is the critical moment for our false intelligence.
39:14If the spy sees what Nerissa said, word for word, Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:19But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your highness, every word Princess Nerissa spake is true.
39:32Excellent. What a goddess of prophecy.
39:34Issue my command. In ten days, our army marches.
39:38We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike!
39:46Help me seize Valeria, and I shall make you my queen.
39:51Foolish man. Once I am your queen and bear your son, all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:04Felix, the enemy is too strong. We are not prepared.
40:08Per the plan, retreat.
40:10Abandon the city, and fall back to the second line of defense!
40:23A glorious first victory, your highness.
40:27Let me toast you.
40:29You are far more useful than I expected.
40:32Your highness, I have seen another vision.
40:34In three days, only Prince Alaric will hold Valeria's second line of defense.
40:41Prince Julian will have already retreated to the capital.
40:44If your highness leads the raid in person, Prince Alaric can be captured in a single strike.
40:52Alaric! That hordy, cold-faced heir of Valeria!
40:56I shall have him groveling at my feet!
41:01Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:04Did Sarah send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric! Heir of Valeria! Surprised are you? Tonight I come for your head!
41:14Alaric!
41:15Alaric!
41:18Alaric!
41:20Alaric!
41:22Alaric!
41:26Alaric!
41:28Alaric!
41:31Alaric!
41:32Alaric!
41:34Alaric!
41:35Alaric!
41:35Alaric!
41:37Alaric!
41:38Alaric!
41:43From this day forth, Valeria's second defense line also belongs to me.
41:52The proud heir of Valeria kneeling at my feet. How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself.
41:59I came precisely because I wanted to.
42:13Impossible. The intelligence clearly stated Valeria's main force was still in the capital.
42:19Princess, Valeria's main army is closing in from west, south and north. Our line of retreat has been cut.
42:27My intelligence could not be wrong.
42:31You set me up!
42:35Not me. It was my little sister, who still lies sleeping.
42:57Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Sarah. We did it.
43:13You lying witch! You have doomed his highness!
43:23Impossible. How can this be?
43:29Speak. The child in your Bemi, is it mine?
43:34Your highness, of course it is yours.
43:42Your highness! This young woman is not with child at all!
43:45You, wretched horde! You dared perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself, your highness. There is yet one more thing you do not know.
43:55Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan our father took in twenty years ago, from the chaos of war.
44:08I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown, for a swindling woman, without a drop of royal blood.
44:19No!
44:21Let me end her with my own hands!
44:23Stop!
44:24Nerissa is a fugitive of Valeria.
44:28Her judgment is not yours to deliver!
44:39Sebastian, crown prince of Viramont, you initiated unprovoked war and invaded Valeria,
44:45bringing suffering upon the people of both lands.
44:48By the treaty between our two kingdoms, how shall you be judged?
44:52Your majesty of Valeria, our king will cede six eastern border cities in reparution,
44:58plus ten thousand gold coins annually for twenty years,
45:03begging only for the life of our crown prince!
45:07So be it.
45:08Prince Sebastian will remain in Valeria as a hostage for two years to oversee the reparations.
45:14He may return home only after that term is fulfilled.
45:17Nerissa, you were my ward.
45:19I treated you as my own daughter, and yet, you practiced the dark arts.
45:23Poisoned my youngest son, framed my second, conspired against the royal house,
45:27committed high treason, and struck down my own daughter!
45:31Father, do you still not see?
45:34I was meant to be your only daughter, the only princess of Valeria!
45:38Your son's devotion, your tender love, the fate of this kingdom,
45:42all of it was meant to be mine!
45:47Until that filthy thing from the Underless appeared!
45:50She stole my place!
45:52She took the destiny that was supposed to be mine!
45:55From the day you first touched dark magic, you ceased to be my daughter.
46:00By the laws of Valeria,
46:02one who wields dark magic and conspires against the crown
46:05shall be stripped of all titles,
46:07exiled to the frozen islands, never to return!
46:10No! Not the frozen islands!
46:13All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:15All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:17Was supposed to be mine!
46:29Your Highness,
46:30tomorrow is the little princess's coronation.
46:33His Majesty has decreed,
46:35tonight, no one is to keep vigil.
46:37He will sit with her alone.
46:38Very well.
46:44Little one,
46:45tomorrow is your coronation.
46:47These past few years,
46:48father has aged greatly.
46:50Coronation?
46:51Me?
46:52I've slept so long.
46:55The story should have
46:56returned to its course long ago.
46:59Why have I not woken?
47:00What is still missing?
47:02What is missing?
47:05My Sarah,
47:06tomorrow is your coronation.
47:09This crown was worn by your mother on the day of her own coronation.
47:12Her greatest regret,
47:14before she passed,
47:15was never seeing her own daughter wear it.
47:18Sarah,
47:19you have slept for so long.
47:21These past years,
47:23your father and your three brothers have done everything imaginable.
47:26Neressa is exiled to the frozen Isles.
47:29Sebastian has paid his price and returned home.
47:31Valoria has never been stronger.
47:33And yet,
47:35there remains a hollow place in my heart.
47:39Father does not lack a daughter.
47:42Father lacks you.
47:44It matters not how the crown sits upon you.
47:47If only you would wake.
47:49If only you would call me father one more time.
47:52I would surrender all the rest.
48:04Father.
48:07Sarah.
48:07Oh, Sarah.
48:09Father.
48:10Sarah has come home.
48:14I am not the heroine of this story.
48:17I am only a daughter,
48:18lifted from the wilderness by her father's hands.
48:21This time,
48:22I will simply be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return all night.
48:31I thought something had happened.
48:33Good morning,
48:34Felix.
48:34Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost?
48:38It's not as if I actually died.
48:42Sarah,
48:43you're awake.
48:44You're awake.
48:45Felix,
48:46my milk is going to spill.
48:49Sarah.
48:51Sarah.
48:52Sarah.
48:52Brother,
48:53I've waited for you for so long.
48:55Goodness.
48:56So much commotion this early in the morning.
48:58My eyeliner is going to run.
48:59Julian,
49:00when have you ever worn eyeliner?
49:02Sarah,
49:03the coronation,
49:04do you wish for it to proceed a schedule?
49:05Yes.
49:06Sarah is father's daughter.
49:09Sarah is the princess of Valeria.
49:10From today onward,
49:12Sarah will truly bear this name.
49:14I have never asked you,
49:16Sarah.
49:17Do you truly wish to call me father?
49:20Yes.
49:23It was you who lifted Sarah from the wilderness.
49:25You have given Sarah everything.
49:28Father,
49:29Sarah once came from a place far,
49:32far away.
49:33But from the moment I woke,
49:35I have known my true home is here.
49:38Where you came from,
49:39I never cared.
49:41I only cared whether you would stay.
49:52My dearest little princess,
49:53will you allow your brother Felix
49:55the honor of escorting you in?
50:13May the glory of Princess Serafina of Valeria
50:16endure forever.
50:18May my little sister know nothing but joy
50:21all her days.
50:22May our Sarah be cherished by the whole world,
50:25always.
50:26From this day forth,
50:28you are Princess Serafina of Valeria,
50:30bearer of the crown's honor of our glory,
50:33of every pure soul in this land.
50:36People of Valeria,
50:38welcome your princess.
50:44I once believed I was the one who chose my destiny.
50:48Then destiny pushed me into a place I never knew,
50:52turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness
50:54with nothing but tears.
50:56I thought I would change everything.
50:58But the truth is,
50:59my father in this place,
51:01and my three brothers,
51:02with their love,
51:04piece by piece,
51:05made me into the true Serafina.
51:07This time I do not choose my destiny.
51:10I accept it,
51:11because what destiny gave me
51:13is the most precious family in this world.
51:18I accept it.
51:19I do not think I'm coming from heaven.
51:20My father in this world is true.
51:22You make me see my backpack,
51:24With his heart,
