Short filmTranscript
00:00:01I'm with a great beard out of the river.
00:00:05Wow, looks like I caught a big one today.
00:00:07Whoa, what on earth is this?
00:00:12Young lady, just take me back and you'll have endless wealth and glory.
00:00:18Oh my god, is this the legendary carp spirit?
00:00:25Help! I said take me back to the palace, not send me to meet the reaper!
00:00:33Oh no, he wasn't a carp spirit after all.
00:00:37Oh no, hey old man, don't die on me!
00:01:04Still unconscious? Forgive me!
00:01:10The reaper.
00:01:13Turns out it's a woman.
00:01:17I'm sorry old man, I thought you were a river spirit.
00:01:19From now on, I will never listen to those customers spouting nonsense.
00:01:27I am no spirit, but I am just as powerful.
00:01:33Oh? Anyone can brag.
00:01:36Who exactly are you, old man?
00:01:41Truth be told, I am the reigning emperor.
00:01:45I had an accident traveling incognito, fell into the river, and drifted all night.
00:01:50Luckily you fished me out, young lady.
00:01:52You did a great service saving my life.
00:01:55As long as you escort me back, you can have any reward you desire.
00:01:58I can even make you a princess if you wish.
00:02:07Has this guy lost his mind from the water?
00:02:10My grandfather was like this in his later years too.
00:02:13One minute he claimed to be a god, and the next he said he was a fish.
00:02:17For old folks like him, I know exactly what to do.
00:02:20You just have to humor them.
00:02:27Yes, your majesty.
00:02:29You're soaked through.
00:02:30Do you want to change clothes first?
00:02:38Right.
00:02:40Help me get changed first, then summon the imperial physician.
00:02:47Why does my face hurt this much?
00:03:06Uncle Simon, this old man fell in the river.
00:03:08Help him change into something dry, and lend him some clothes.
00:03:38Tell her to come in and help me dress.
00:03:43You shameless old man!
00:03:46Asking an unmarried young woman to dress you?
00:03:49I'll teach you a lesson!
00:03:51Calm down, Uncle Simon.
00:03:53He's clearly not in his right mind.
00:03:57Palace maids have always dressed me.
00:04:00How does that make me shameless?
00:04:03Never mind.
00:04:04I won't argue with you.
00:04:21Maid, when will you take me back?
00:04:24Where do you live?
00:04:25The capital!
00:04:26What?
00:04:27Sir, do you even know how far the capital is from here?
00:04:31Then take me to the city.
00:04:34How do we get there?
00:04:36I wouldn't know.
00:04:37I have always traveled by carriage.
00:04:40This old man has really lost his mind.
00:04:48Goodman, let us eat first.
00:04:50We can talk about getting you home later.
00:04:55Besides catching fish, I am also great at cooking them.
00:05:10Smells delicious.
00:05:11Erica, you have not made fish soup in ages.
00:05:13You must be in a good mood today.
00:05:16I pulled a drowning old man from the river today.
00:05:18I made this to warm him up.
00:05:19He is totally confused.
00:05:21He cannot even remember his name or home.
00:05:29Avert your eyes!
00:05:31How dare you stare at me!
00:05:50Have you heard?
00:05:51Erica took in an old man claiming he's the emperor.
00:05:55He has definitely lost his mind.
00:06:00Guys, have you heard anything about a missing old man lately?
00:06:06Are you sure he is not faking it just to freeload food off you?
00:06:11Just let him be.
00:06:12Feeding him will not make us go broke.
00:06:19These wooden boards are too hard.
00:06:21My back is killing me.
00:06:25He snores louder than thunder.
00:06:28How is anyone supposed to sleep?
00:06:31This fish and tofu stew tastes even better than the food in the palace.
00:06:35When I return to the palace, I will make you the head royal chef.
00:06:38Yeah, right.
00:06:39Returning to the palace?
00:06:40I think you're losing your mind.
00:06:42He is totally out of his mind.
00:06:44Stop arguing with him.
00:06:45How dare you insult me!
00:06:53I gradually realize the old man might not be crazy.
00:06:57What he said could be true.
00:07:12What would you two like to eat?
00:07:15We heard.
00:07:16You took in a drowning old man recently.
00:07:27You are looking for him?
00:07:33You are...
00:07:38Master, we are here to take you home.
00:07:42There are too many eyes out here.
00:07:44Please keep quiet for now.
00:07:46No.
00:07:53These two are definitely hiding something.
00:08:02No need to be so formal, Eric.
00:08:06You see?
00:08:08I was telling the truth.
00:08:12Are they really your family?
00:08:14Why do you look like you do not know them?
00:08:19I command thousands of elite troops.
00:08:21I mean thousands of servants.
00:08:22How am I supposed to know all of them?
00:08:24These men must work for one of my sons.
00:08:25There is no mistake.
00:08:32Is he really the emperor?
00:08:36Our master is not right in the head.
00:08:39Just play along with him.
00:08:41I knew it.
00:08:42If he is the emperor, then I am the king of heaven.
00:08:46Master, it is getting late.
00:08:48Let's get going.
00:08:50It is already dark.
00:08:51You two must have traveled a long way.
00:08:53Eat something before you go.
00:08:56Let me tell you.
00:08:58If you pass this up, you will never find fish this delicious anywhere else.
00:09:13I told you it was delicious.
00:09:18Fair maid.
00:09:20You took such good care of our master.
00:09:22My master will surely reward you.
00:09:24Please come with us.
00:09:27Just take my boat.
00:09:28I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52I'll take you there myself.
00:09:52What?
00:09:53What are you doing?
00:09:55Forgive us.
00:09:56Old man, when you fell off the boat, we thought you died.
00:09:58Who knew you would be so hard to kill?
00:10:02This is regicide!
00:10:03Your entire lineage will be executed for this!
00:10:06Who is behind this?
00:10:07Hmm.
00:10:09Ignore him, Wayne.
00:10:11Tonight, we will silence every witness here.
00:10:13No one will ever know.
00:10:19Seras, please do not be reckless.
00:10:21I'm just a fisherman.
00:10:23This has nothing to do with me.
00:10:26Please just let me go.
00:10:28That's the price for sticking your nose into this.
00:10:30You chose to take him in.
00:10:31Anyone who was involved in this mess isn't leaving here alive.
00:10:33Shame about your talent for cooking fish.
00:10:35If you were smart, you would have stayed out of this.
00:10:38Let her go!
00:10:40Stop threatening an innocent woman!
00:10:46We've been spotted!
00:10:47Kill them now!
00:10:53Dammit!
00:10:55The food was spiked!
00:10:59You drugged the food!
00:11:20Look who is talking about crooked ends.
00:11:22I am a legitimate business owner.
00:11:24Powerless commoners like us must have ways to defend ourselves.
00:11:30Erica, how did you figure out these two were up to no good?
00:11:37I have run my river stall for years.
00:11:39The docks are full of shady characters and I have seen all sorts of people.
00:11:43When they saw you, it was not relief I saw.
00:11:45Instead, they immediately gripped their weapons through their bags.
00:11:47A murderous look flashed in their eyes.
00:11:49Simon and I noticed something was wrong immediately.
00:11:51Once the food was ready, we secretly applied sleeping powder to the rims of their bowls
00:11:54and the tips of their chopsticks.
00:11:55So when we sat down to eat, they suspected nothing.
00:11:58After that, I volunteered to escort them home.
00:12:00But I was actually keeping watch.
00:12:02If we had been mistaken, we would have simply apologized to their master.
00:12:06But since we were right...
00:12:09Well, we just saved your life again.
00:12:11Will you make me a lord this time?
00:12:16They actually want me dead.
00:12:18They've tried to kill me again and again.
00:12:22How could I have been so blind?
00:12:24Hey, please do not cry.
00:12:25A man of your age should not cry.
00:12:27I was only joking earlier.
00:12:28You do not need to make me a lord.
00:12:30Of course you will be one.
00:12:32Once I deal with those traitors, I will not only make you a lord, but grant you a hereditary title.
00:12:37Save it for when we get back.
00:12:38You are rambling again.
00:12:46Let's see you escape now.
00:12:47When they wake up, we'll question them properly.
00:12:50It is useless.
00:12:51Anyone sent to kill me is ready to die.
00:12:53Once they wake up, if they cannot escape, they will kill themselves.
00:12:56What do we do?
00:12:57We finally caught them alive.
00:12:58We cannot just sit and watch them die.
00:13:00First, I must return to the capital and find the commander of the Imperial Guards.
00:13:04That man is fiercely loyal to me and would never betray me.
00:13:07Come on, you were pushed into the river right under his nose.
00:13:09How is he reliable?
00:13:10And quit talking like an emperor already.
00:13:12You are just inviting the assassins to kill us.
00:13:14Goodman, you had better change your name.
00:13:15They are in the shadows and we are in the open.
00:13:17We must be careful.
00:13:23Call me Arthur Crown then.
00:13:25Why bother with a fake name?
00:13:26Just call yourself the emperor.
00:13:28This old man is hopeless.
00:13:37They are dead.
00:13:39I was right, was I not?
00:13:41Once their mission failed, if they couldn't escape, they were as good as dead.
00:13:45Besides knowing one of them was Jason Cole, we have no idea who was trying to have you killed.
00:13:49There is no need to investigate.
00:13:51Those with the best claim to the throne are the most suspicious.
00:13:53One of my sons must be behind this.
00:13:55Prince Dylan and Prince Eden are both lords in the capital, where their power is deeply entrenched.
00:13:59Only Prince Ryan, my youngest son, was exiled to a remote thief long ago, which actually makes him the safest
00:14:04choice.
00:14:04I have made my decision.
00:14:05I'll go to my youngest son first.
00:14:07The waterway is faster.
00:14:09Since Uncle Simon is rowing, he can take us south together.
00:14:28Arthur!
00:14:29How can you be sure your youngest son is not harboring a grudge and plotting your murder?
00:14:34You did exile him to that distant place.
00:14:40You do not understand the situation.
00:14:42Security around me is airtight.
00:14:43Anyone who could infiltrate the imperial gods must have enormous power.
00:14:48Ryan has been at his fee for years.
00:14:50He lost such capabilities long ago.
00:14:52Besides, my youngest son has always been straightforward.
00:14:55He's too honest to scheme against anyone.
00:14:58There's no way he'd rebel.
00:15:01So you are just exploiting a decent man.
00:15:03He had no share in the wealth and glory.
00:15:05Yet you seek him the moment you fall from grace.
00:15:20People say this place is lawless.
00:15:23Full of ruthless criminals.
00:15:25Looking at it now, that is clearly not the case.
00:15:30This old man doesn't even know his own son's land.
00:15:37Excuse me.
00:15:38Which way is Prince Ryan's estate?
00:15:40Are you here for justice or just for grain?
00:15:44What is the difference?
00:15:46If you seek justice, His Highness holds court for an hour every day specifically to receive petitions.
00:15:51If you need food and grain, register at the local office.
00:15:55Anyone living in this district can receive rations for their family, along with seeds for their crops.
00:16:00Judging by how you talk, Prince Ryan really seems like a kind man.
00:16:06You must be from out of town if you have not heard of Prince Ryan.
00:16:10His Highness is the Emperor's own son and has been our great saviour.
00:16:14Yes.
00:16:14Every household has an altar to pray for him.
00:16:18We pray for his health and for his long life, so that he may keep the people of this region
00:16:23safe and sound.
00:16:25I have not even earned that much respect, but this ungrateful son of mine already has.
00:16:28They even built altars for him.
00:16:59Are you visiting from out of town?
00:17:02Goodman, we are here to find Prince Ryan.
00:17:04This gentleman is a distant relative of the prince.
00:17:07We have come to seek his help.
00:17:08Prince Ryan?
00:17:09He's a really great man.
00:17:10He spent years building canals and improving the farmland.
00:17:13He transformed this barren wasteland into a land of abundance.
00:17:16He certainly did.
00:17:18He reformed the local government and kept the law in check.
00:17:21Life is much better for us now.
00:17:22We are all grateful for the grace of the prince and his father, our emperor.
00:17:28Ryan, my long forgotten son.
00:17:32If you head straight to his estate, you might miss him.
00:17:35At this hour, he's always in the fields.
00:17:37Just follow this road ahead.
00:17:39He is at the largest rice field.
00:17:58Which one is Prince Ryan?
00:18:09I expected someone much older.
00:18:11He is clearly a handsome young man.
00:18:25Father.
00:18:37this is outrageous traitors like these deserve death by anyone
00:18:49you both have shown great honor you saved my father's lifetime and again
00:18:53words cannot express my gratitude

00:19:35the wind and rain I never expected to see the day I could live like a wealthy man with servants
00:19:46waiting on me the Emperor super paranoid right now he trusts no one except us too so Prince Ryan has

00:25:08you make a fair point
00:25:10if you actually became my daughter-in-law
00:25:12it would be highly improper to have you cook fish for me every day
00:25:20he is always thinking about his next meal

00:25:35we will fight them to the death

00:27:48we cannot bear to see you leave
00:27:57my fellow citizens do not be sad
00:28:01I will send an official of great integrity
00:28:03I'll send an upright official
00:28:05who will treat everyone like family
00:28:09as for prince Ryan
00:28:10the one you all admire
00:28:11one thief is too small for his ambitions
00:28:16I will entrust him with far greater duties
00:28:20I hope he will not fail my expectations
00:28:29it seems prince Ryan
00:28:31is destined for greatness
00:28:57I remember our first few days
00:28:58at the estate of prince Ryan
00:29:00that blockhead always came to me
00:29:01for advice on dealing with his father
00:29:12he is your own father
00:29:13how can you not know his temper and preferences
00:29:22he is the supreme emperor
00:29:24I however am just a neglected prince
00:29:29I hardly saw my father's face growing up
00:29:33but I notice how you interact with him Erica
00:29:36speaking so freely
00:29:39even prince Dylan and prince Eden
00:29:40his favorites
00:29:41never dare to be so casual
00:29:43in the presence of our father
00:29:44do you have a secret for this?
00:29:48not a secret at all
00:29:50I just treat the emperor
00:29:51like any ordinary elder
00:29:53think of how commoners
00:29:55treat the elders in their family
00:29:57and I treat the emperor
00:29:58the same way
00:30:00I understand now
00:30:10Ryan
00:30:11what are you doing?
00:30:13when a father is in danger
00:30:14a son belongs by his side
00:30:16to protect him
00:30:26having the trust and gratitude
00:30:28of the emperor and his heir
00:30:29a life of luxury is surely guaranteed
00:30:32they might even grant you the title
00:30:34of the official imperial fisher
00:30:56your majesty
00:31:04why the panic
00:31:07prince Dylan has rebelled
00:31:08the rebel forces have blocked every path to the capital
00:31:12prince Eden has proclaimed himself king
00:31:21you treacherous sons
00:31:22while I was away
00:31:24is this how you guard the capital for me?
00:31:31I deserve death
00:31:34since the emperor was missing in the river
00:31:36the factions in court have already splintered
00:31:38prince Dylan intends to seize the throne
00:31:40while prince Eden waits to profit from the chaos
00:31:47a foolish dream
00:31:49those ungrateful and arrogant sons
00:31:52do they think that my empire can be toppled so easily?
00:31:59your majesty
00:32:00I anticipated this
00:32:02I took the tiger tally from the capital
00:32:04once we escape this place
00:32:06we can summon the troops to crush the rebellion
00:32:09good
00:32:10good
00:32:11good
00:32:11where is the nearest army?
00:32:13the mountain city army is three days away
00:32:18father
00:32:18the rebels of prince Dylan have sealed every road out of this thief
00:32:21we cannot leave by land
00:32:23our only chance is to take the river
00:32:27however
00:32:28however what?
00:32:29the imperial guards are all landlubbers from the capital
00:32:31they only know how to fight on land
00:32:33none of them can handle a boat
00:32:35if we are caught on the river we will
00:32:42why are you all staring at me?
00:32:44surely you do not expect a lowly fisher to perform a miracle?
00:32:51honestly the imperial gold is not easily earned
00:32:56I cannot simply watch my father face such peril
00:32:59I will protect him as we fight our way out
00:33:03Ryan! my dear son
00:33:08I shall protect the emperor and the prince with my life on our journey to the mountain city army

00:33:38thank you Erica
00:33:44I am in your debt Erica

00:34:00as a prince of the realm
00:34:02is he not a match for Erica?
00:34:04with the virtue and skill of Erica
00:34:06any man would be blessed to have her
00:34:11I have caused you much trouble
00:34:17it is no trouble
00:34:18but it is a shame that your highness must live as a lowly fisherman with me
00:34:25in that case
00:34:27please do not call me your highness
00:34:28yes
00:34:29will you call me Ryan?
00:34:30as you wish Ryan
00:34:31let's board the boat
00:34:33yes my darling
00:34:37you
00:34:38you
00:34:38evil
00:34:38dunno
00:34:57you
00:34:58you
00:34:58you
00:35:05the
00:35:09You are a terror on dry land, but on the water, you are a pathetic mess.
00:35:15Silence. I will protect the Emperor with my life.
00:35:30Forgive me. I... I have become a burden to everyone.
00:35:36Silence. You are truly good for nothing.
00:35:44Get him into the cabin at once. Do not let anyone suspect us.
00:36:04Stay to your business. Stop the boat for an inspection.
00:36:15Officer. We are just humble fishers.
00:36:19We are taking the fish caught today to Lincoln Ward to sell.
00:36:49The river is closed today. Turn back at once.
00:36:54We have an agreement with the tavern to deliver this fresh fish.
00:36:57If we do not deliver the fish today, the fish will start to rot, and we will have to pay
00:37:01the tavern.
00:37:02Please show some mercy. Make an exception for us and let us pass through.
00:37:08I said no, and I mean it. A single basket of fish means nothing.
00:37:12Careful, or I will take your head.
00:37:21You useless brat. It is all your fault.
00:37:27If you had not insisted on this route, we wouldn't have missed the delivery.
00:37:30Now we are going to lose every penny.
00:37:39Heavens above, what am I going to do?
00:37:42I was counting on this silver to pay for my own burial.
00:37:45Now it is all gone.
00:37:47Ha ha ha.
00:37:49Ha ha ha.
00:37:51Ha ha ha.
00:37:52Ha ha ha.
00:37:52Ha ha ha.
00:37:53Ha ha ha.
00:38:00Father.
00:38:01Father, please, that is enough.
00:38:08Officer, please show some mercy.
00:38:11The poor man is counting on this catch to survive until his final day.
00:38:15If this sail falls through, he will trade my life for his burial.
00:38:23Get moving. Move along. All that noise is giving me a headache.
00:38:32Ryan, do not take it to heart.
00:38:33I was a bit too rough with you just now.
00:38:35It was only a matter of necessity.
00:38:37However, this matter stays between the three of us.
00:38:41You must never mention it again.
00:38:44Ha ha ha.
00:39:01I am dead. I am so dead.
00:39:04Am I dead for knowing a royal secret?
00:39:27All vessels and civilians are forbidden to pass. Stay where you are for questioning.
00:39:35This is not good. They must have discovered the decoy of my father.
00:39:38The five of us escaped in total secrecy. After leaving one man in the estate of Prince Ryan, he posed
00:39:42as the emperor to distract the rebels.
00:39:44In hopes of buying us more time. Now it appears that the rebels have stormed the estate of Prince Ryan.
00:39:49They realized the emperor was not inside, and that is why they intensified the search.
00:40:20What do you think you are doing? You are not allowed to set up a stall here.
00:40:23Please calm down, officer. Since the river is closed today, we have nowhere else to go anyway.
00:40:26This boat is full of fresh fish caught today, and they will all rot by tomorrow morning.
00:40:31Why not let me cook them right here? You and your men can enjoy a fresh meal and keep yourselves
00:40:34warm.
00:40:36Hurry up then, as we are all starving.
00:40:58Officers, you have had a long day. Come and have a taste of the fresh catch.
00:41:03We have been camping in the wild for days without a single full meal. I am absolutely famished.
00:41:06The scent of this fish is incredible. I will not be polite then.
00:41:09Your majesty, why are you so well behaved today? Are you not sneaking a bite for once?
00:41:15Do not think I did not notice. All those fish were caught right beside the boat.
00:41:48Look, look!
00:41:52Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:41:54Officer, is this liquor strong enough for you?
00:42:07Jason Cole.
00:42:15That woman from the shady stall?
00:42:22So you are still alive after all?
00:42:35Stop eating, everyone! The targets are here!
00:42:37There! Capture them at once!
00:43:03Down!
00:43:06Down!
00:43:07Down!
00:43:08TAL!
00:43:10And you still claim you do not run a shady store!
00:43:12I will make you pay for this today!
00:43:22Ryan!
00:43:25I am fine.
00:43:28Well, I am not fine!
00:43:43Once he sets foot on land, he will be a formidable warrior once again.
00:43:46The prowess of the commander of the Imperial Gods is certainly not to be taken lightly.
00:44:16Your Majesty, I have come to save you!
00:44:20Move! Board the boat immediately!
00:44:42Uncle Simon, go!
00:44:53Hail the lights!
00:45:20Finally, we are back on my turf.
00:45:38They are hiding right here!
00:45:40The prince said that their capture would bring a massive reward!
00:45:51Erika, what do we do now?
00:46:03Your Majesty, Ryan. Follow my lead.
00:46:22What was that noise?
00:46:31Help! There are river demons in the water!
00:46:37Stay!
00:46:38WAC!
00:46:40WAC!
00:46:41WAC!
00:46:43WAC!
00:46:47WAC!
00:46:52WAC!
00:46:54WAC!
00:46:57In the water, the forces were hit.
00:47:04WAC!
00:47:06WAC!
00:47:07Oh
00:47:17What what is that could river demons really exist
00:47:31Stay back do not come any closer
00:47:37Oh
00:47:52Chief you have finally returned
00:48:16Chief is this band under your command yes
00:48:22You are the chief of this crew
00:48:29You heard them call me that did you not you are a bandit queen
00:48:38Nonsense we are only the anchor crew
00:48:43Hiding a band of a thousand thieves
00:48:47Somewhere in a legendary mountain
00:48:52Commander would you have been reading too many heroic fables
00:49:06What is the matter with him his pride is just wounded oh
00:49:14He tried to play the hero just now, but he did not expect that you are far better at fighting
00:49:20than he is
00:49:27Speaking of which my daughter-in-law. Please don't give up on my hopeless son
00:49:33Your majesty are you afraid of losing a daughter-in-law or just afraid of having no fish to eat
00:49:37a
00:49:39Bit of both I suppose
00:49:46The great prince ryan would never fall for a wild woman like me
00:50:07The great prince ryan would never fall for a wild woman like me
00:50:11Charge
00:50:12Charge
00:50:13Charge
00:50:13Soldiers hear my command
00:50:15Prince Dylan and Prince Eden have betrayed the throne
00:50:19Treason of this magnitude shall find no mercy
00:50:20Follow me to crush this rebellion to victory
00:50:24To victory
00:50:42The Emperor reclaimed the army he struck the rebels at once loyalists rally to the throne they soon destroyed the
00:50:48power of Prince Dylan and Prince Eden the Empire was secured again
00:50:52Ryan was named the crown prince with peace restored to the realm the Emperor returned to the capital
00:51:10Erica, why did you choose to help me?
00:51:13Erica, why did you choose to help me?
00:51:23So you figured out the truth after all
00:51:33Eat, do not go hungry
00:51:35Long ago when I was begging with grandfather we passed through the territory you ruled
00:51:38You were just a boy, newly exiled
00:51:41Yet you were already issuing decrees that saved people like us, those with no home and little hope
00:51:44Driven by that mercy, I gathered my strength and fought my way north
00:51:47Armed with nothing but my skill in the water and a stubborn spirit that refused to break
00:51:50I carved out a path through every hardship until I became the chief of the anchor crew
00:51:54Our crew operates between light and shadow, which is why Simon and I often wore disguises
00:51:56We posed as simple fishers and wine cellars just to seek out a few business opportunities
00:51:59I never expected to save the Emperor by a mere chance
00:52:03I did everything possible to keep him safe
00:52:05Waiting for the right moment to bring him to you
00:52:07I only wanted him to see the truth for himself
00:52:09To see a prince who truly serves the common people
00:52:11And to see the perfect order you brought to this land
00:52:16Everything that followed was quite unexpected
00:52:18I never thought the road would be so dangerous
00:52:20Even less did I think you'd lose your heart to me
00:52:24Your Highness
00:52:25You are destined to be a great leader in the future
00:52:28Knowing that makes every sacrifice I made feel worthwhile
00:52:35Am I nothing more than a title in your eyes?
00:52:51You are the man who will one day wear the crown
00:52:53You should marry a lady from a noble house
00:52:55I have been free and wild for far too long
00:52:56I only want a simple life upon the water
00:52:58Fate brought us together, but it was not meant to last
00:53:03Once
00:53:04My only dream was to be a great ruler
00:53:06I would lead the Empire with wisdom and bring peace to the people
00:53:10But now, I wish that I were free
00:53:13To wander with the woman I love
00:53:22Your Highness
00:53:23You have your own path to follow
00:53:24And I have mine as well
00:53:26I am going to lead the anchor crew to become the greatest power in the world
00:53:29While you
00:53:31Must carry the weight of your people
00:53:35I know that I cannot make you stay
00:53:37Go now, and I will watch you leave
00:53:49Ryan
00:53:50Hmm
00:53:55When you stood in front of me that day
00:53:58It truly meant the world to me
00:54:06Forget it! To hell with the rules!
00:54:08I am the chief after all
00:54:10Not some refined lady from a noble house
00:54:12Not some refined lady from a noble house
00:54:50No part of her
00:54:51But he...
00:54:57In the midst of the enemy
00:54:59I really thought...
00:55:00That you would follow that lad to the capital as Empress
00:55:04After all
00:55:05The empress
00:55:06Do you...
00:55:06Do you...
00:55:07Do you...
00:55:07Do you...
00:55:08Do you...
00:55:08Do you...
00:55:08Do you...
00:55:08Do you...
00:55:11I am the leader of the Anchor Crew. Who would want to be a wretched empress?
00:55:33Anyway, I've secured a grand future for the Anchor Crew.
00:55:37A grand future? What kind of future?
00:56:07Chief! Chief!
00:56:09Look, so this is the future you promised the crew?
00:56:20Is this truly the child of the Crown Prince?
00:56:25Of course.
00:56:30Perfect! The future leader of our crew has the Crown Prince as his father. Who would ever dare to cross
00:56:35us now? Even the authorities will have to step aside for us.
00:56:48When the Emperor and the Crown Prince returned to the capital, they asked me what kind of reward I desired.
00:56:52I did not give them an answer.
00:56:57Because the reward that truly satisfies me is something I have already received.
00:57:19Chief! Something is wrong! The soldiers! The soldiers! They have surrounded the dock of our crew!
00:57:24Chief!
00:57:36Just when we finally found some peace, is it possible the remnants of Dylan and Eden have come back to
00:57:40haunt us?
00:57:50There is no need for panic. This river belongs to the Watsons.
00:58:16But the way you've got to be rescued and he has been killed and he is, mesmo?
00:58:17A big part of the state of The Lake I started to move on for years!
00:58:17We're going to be one of the most important things.
00:58:18We're going to be one of the most important things destroyed.
00:58:19I hope to bear in the last week or two of my friends...
00:58:27Erika, since my father returned to the capital, he has been talking about how you would start showing symptoms by
00:58:32now. Your appetite must be quite poor. I searched the entire capital for this. Preserved Ginger is a miracle cure
00:58:39for nausea.
00:58:45Quite a grand spectacle, Your Highness. Bringing Ginger with the entire Imperial Guards. The Crown Prince has no place at
00:58:53this dock when he belongs on the Throne of Gold.
00:58:58The Throne of Gold is far too cold, and it is not comfortable at all. I gave you my word
00:59:03that I would protect you for life. Chopping wood and building fires is a skill I have truly mastered.
00:59:12Well, well! Do you all see this? The eye of our chief is truly sharp! The follow-up service is
00:59:20quite impressive! Even the scullery maid is delivered to the door!
00:59:36What are you waiting for? Since you are here to build fires, get to the backyard at once! Chop that
00:59:40pile of wet wood!
00:59:43Hey! I am going!
00:59:46Hey! I am going!
01:00:15your highness have mercy this is an urgent border report the emperor claims a headache as an excuse
01:00:20and insists that you review the matter you must make the final decision at least give it a single
01:00:23glance can you not see that i am busy the feet of erica are badly swollen today i must finish
01:00:28this
01:00:28pile of wood quickly to boil water for her foot bath he is actually boiling water for a foot bath
01:00:38to
01:00:39think the crown prince would perform such a chore if this news ever reaches the capital the old men
01:00:43of the censoret will certainly die of shame just leave the reports on that large stone once erica
01:00:55finally in a deep sleep i will find the time to review them nothing shall interrupt her foot bath now
01:01:10chief chief look at that beggar over there why does he look exactly like that old man arthur crown

01:01:51i am done with that throne it is so stiff that it is painful to sit on the palace food
01:01:56is worse than
01:01:58the other way i will find the place where you want to take a bite of the savory food or
01:02:01cake
01:02:01you can leave the blood at sea
01:02:01and i don't want to leave a knife

01:02:10seconden
01:02:20now this is the flavor that i missed since i returned to the palace those servants have
01:02:25served nothing but the most bland and hollow meals they focus only on fancy decorations
01:02:28everything looks beautiful to the eye but there is no actual flavor within
01:02:30my sense of taste is slowly fading away because of them
01:02:40you are a distinguished guest but with that look did you run away from home
01:02:46or are you just slacking off on your duties
01:02:56who cares about that in this world of ours a good meal is the only thing that counts
01:03:14erica i would like another bowl of rice drench it in that fish broth for me
01:03:23there is plenty of fish and rice for everyone
01:03:40erica
01:03:41while enjoying the fish you prepared these days i have come up with a flawless plan

01:03:58reports in the throne room and walk right over to the inner palace to be with you

01:05:08she hates the high walls of the palace
01:05:10and what of you
01:05:11you are the crown prince
01:05:16i have made my decision
01:05:18i will simply work twice as hard

01:05:23and return to this dock every night
01:05:25sean rose fast enough for the trip

01:08:51Satsail!
01:08:53Let the grand ship sail now!
01:09:02Look at our little chief here!
01:09:05Picking up the oar during her birthday rite!
01:09:07She has only just learned how to walk, yet she already wants to rule this river for her mother!
01:09:16Chief! Prepare for the arrival of the Emperor!
01:09:18The Emperor has finally finished the court session!
01:09:20After reviewing the final tax report, he did not even stop to change out of the robe!
01:09:24He has already worn out three horses and is racing through the mountain pass right now!
01:09:32My sweetheart! My sweetheart!
01:09:36Bring the boat to the shore now!
01:09:37I have caught a massive fish!
01:09:39That silly father of yours is almost here!
01:09:41Tonight, we will all enjoy a feast of tofu and fish!
01:10:04Erika! The capital is far too suffocating!
01:10:07I have left all state affairs to the ministers so that I can stay here with you for two weeks!
01:10:12Well, I will handle the firewood tonight!
01:10:14I was once just a simple fisher on this river!
01:10:18With a single cast of my neck that year, I brought in the most precious catch of my life!
01:10:23And I have guarded the only kingdom that truly matters!
01:10:35My aunt sold me to the most vicious lone wolf hunter in pack for five silver coins!
01:10:41On the night of our mating ceremony, I sat on the edge of a broken bed, biting my lip!
01:10:46I'm a wolf-less omega orphan!
01:10:48And Cain? The pack says he's a curse!
01:10:50His parents abandoned him as a pup and never came back!
01:10:53They say he walked into the shadow woods alone at six!
01:10:57Shift for the first time at twelve!
01:10:59And tore apart a full-grown shadow bear!
01:11:02The scar running from his brow to his jaw, that bear gave it to him!
01:11:06Everyone in the pack fears him!
01:11:08I did too!
01:11:09I crossed the street when I saw him!
01:11:11Never spoke a word to him!
01:11:13It's that I wandered to him!
01:11:14Never even looked him in the eye!
01:11:15I never thought my aunt would sell me to him!
01:11:18No gifts!
01:11:19No feast!
01:11:20I wore an old white dress!
01:11:22And took shaky steps into his cabin!
01:11:24It smelled of blood!
01:11:26And old fur!
01:11:27I didn't think I'd survive tonight!
01:11:29All I could hear was my aunt counting her silver!
01:11:32Don't blame me, Ella!
01:11:34You're lucky anyone would take you!
01:11:36I stood there like a fool, not knowing what to do!
01:11:39Until the door banged open!
01:11:40I gasped!
01:11:41His leather coat was slashed open across the ribs!
01:11:45The smell of blood!
