20:44domian abyss for the royal hunt he called it training but it was a death sentence they were
20:50swarmed by high level beasts alaric lost a leg and julian's mana veins were shattered protecting him
20:57he became a total cripple father may i hold sarah as well and then there's poor felix he was supposed
21:05to be the champion of the hunt titled the god of war and lead our armies to victory but in

24:11father you are being far too biased this 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 she can't
24:29control

24:33narissa the forest is incredibly dangerous father is only concerned for your safety
24:40my my if you brothers don't want narissa i certainly do
24:45narissa since your brothers don't cherish you come with me instead fine since you're so eager to be
24:51the fool take her with you brothers let's move out sarah is losing her patience that baby is a total
24:57jinx nothing but bad luck whenever she's around fine i'll go with that sebastian for now and wait for
25:03the perfect moment to strike then i thank you prince sebastian let's go
25:17four at 50 meters to the left combat power two stars julia can handle it with a snap of his
25:23fingers
25:24but do not touch that sweet smelling grass straight ahead it's a soul eater spider trap
25:29nerissa said it's specific for felix because she knows he loves the scent of that herb
25:35that was close i almost fell for it again felix what's wrong nothing i just feel like the mist
25:42is getting thicker of course it's thick sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll
25:47he's turning this forest into an inescapable labyrinth julian do you have any treasures that can
25:53break through a labyrinth seal it seems completely useless yes the seal taint with dark magic
25:57of course it won't work the forest guardian the sacred stag has been trapped by the wicked array
26:03they set up beforehand with the stag trapped the forest purication is gone if you guys don't find
26:09the stag and break the seal by midnight every pure soul in this forest will become fuel for nerissa's
26:14dark magic that includes me she'll drain me dry help help help since we can't walk out of here locate
26:22the
26:23stag directly don't be afraid sarah as long as we're here we won't let anything happen to you
26:28wow my brothers are the best come on think where exactly is the sacred stag ah i remember now it's
26:38under
26:38that withered millennial oak tree that's the heart of the forest in the center of the array the stag is
26:45trapped in a dark magic seal called the eternal cage the poor stag those black chains are draining
26:55its life force brothers look there are four skulls around the array those are the anchor points they
27:01must be destroyed at the same time four anchor points but there are only three of us there's me too
27:08the sapphire necklace around my neck the eternal guardian its power is the perfect counter for this
27:15evil stuff just throw it over sarah this is our only shot julian felix get ready on three one two
27:29three
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
27:57as long as they get close to that beast the curse triggers just watch they'll all be dead within seconds
28:09stop stop stop aleric don't go any closer that stag is a time bomb
28:14narration planted a void curse in its heart it's going to blow aleric what is it what do i do
28:22it's too
28:23late the curse has already set aleric
28:45my god
28:49the sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own it's a soul covenant from now on
28:55the power of this entire forest belongs to her as long as she stands on this land she is practically
29:00a goddess
29:08sarah is that you oh my god i'm grown up i can speak heaven has finally to its senses
29:19brothers sarah you can speak i can actually talk
29:25finally all the things i've been screaming in my head i can finally say them out loud
29:32how can this be where is my power where is my dog magic it seems the forest's spiritual energy has
29:41drained you dry
29:49the sacred stag has bonded with my daughter father 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 this time i am saying it out loud
30:16this gentle kind at prince senorisi 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
30:37felix poisoning a julian's framing all those strange events in the palace it was all your dying
30:48so what if it was all of this was supposed to be mine father's love the princess's devotion the fate
30:57of the kingdom until that filthy thing from the wilderness appeared she stole my destiny she took
31:03everything that was supposed to be mine i did not steal your destiny you chose your own path of no
31:09return
31:11if i can if i cannot have anything then you shall have nothing in either
31:18you shall have nothing in the earth
31:19but you shall have nothing in the room
31:19i have nothing in the room
31:37so no
31:37serra
31:40Sarah, open your eyes, you vile witch.
31:46She's dead, she's dead.
31:49My destiny has returned to me.
31:53There's still a heartbeat.
31:56Your majesty, the little princess's soul has been sealed by dark magic.
32:01She has fallen into a deep slumber.
32:04How can this be undone?
32:05The curse is bound to the caster's last drop of life force.
32:09It will not lift until that magic naturally fades, or unless some miracle occurs.
32:15Narasa, I once raised you as my own, granted you the title of princess.
32:20Today you have wielded dark magic, poisoned the royal house, and struck down my own daughter.
32:25I hereby decree you are stripped of your status as a ward of Valoria and of every title bestowed upon
32:30you.
32:30From this day forth, you are banished from this kingdom, never to return.
32:35Father!
32:36One day you will regret this!
32:40Home.
32:42Let us go home.
32:46Little 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.
32:59Her magic is gone, she can do nothing now.
33:02From the day father brought this little one home from the wilderness,
33:05every single day we heard her chattering in our minds.
33:08So loud, so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:13Why is it so dark?
33:16Where is this?
33:18Sarah?
33:19I feel like I'm dreaming.
33:22But this dream feels so real.
33:25I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother, you heard that too.
33:30We heard it.
33:31It's Sarah, it's her voice.
33:36What is it?
33:37Has Sarah woken?
33:38Hmm.
33:39Do I smell hot milk?
33:41Is that father?
33:43Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger, you need your rest.
33:51Sarah?
33:52My Sarah?
33:54You'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.
34:07Who's squeaking right in my ear?
34:10Out, out, out!
34:11You're disturbing the princess's sleep!
34:14Brother, you haven't slept in three days.
34:17It's fine.
34:18Why am I asleep?
34:20I remember exposing Neressa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:26Why did I grow to seven years old?
34:29I rushed it.
34:32In the original story, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later,
34:37only then driven to her dead 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,
35:10and ignites war between the two kingdoms.
35:12Then she is outwitted, exposed, discarded, and meets a wretched end.
35:15And that is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:21Only when Neressa walks her original fate to the end will I have any chance of waking.
35:27But I am asleep now.
35:29I can do nothing.
35:31How would father and my brothers ever know all this?
35:36You 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
35:52and sought audience with Sebastian.
35:55Useless!
35:55Her 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.
36:04Nerissa fleeing to Sebastian was always part of the original plot.
36:07So 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?
36:24Your Highness.
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:29Ha! You?
36:30A powerless wretch?
36:32With what do you plan to help me?
36:34My dark magic may be gone.
36:36But 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.
36:50If you want me to believe you, you'll have to prove it.
36:55Tell me how, Your Highness.
36:57I will do anything.
36:59I may have lost my magic, but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered.
37:04That is enough.
37:09In the original story, Narissa'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 Narissa's inside the palace, feeding intelligence to Sebastian.
37:26As I expected.
37:28A stable boy in the palace named Marcus.
37:32Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed.
37:35Each time by a different route at a different hour.
37:39Seize him.
37:39Question him under whatever measure necessary.
37:43Father, no.
37:45He is our finest tool for sending Narissa to her doom.
37:50We shall feed Narissa exactly the intelligence she craves.
37:56Your Highness, this 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 dispatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier,
38:23with Prince Julian personally overseeing the supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates,
38:30and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
38:34In other words, on the 8th of next month,
38:37Valeria's eastern frontier will be an empty city,
38:40defended only by leaderless reserves.
38:43Such 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 pit.
38:53And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited,
38:57for a thousand years.
38:59Narissa attended Sebastian's royal council today.
39:03She predicts our army's movements.
39:06In 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 Narissa has said, word for word,
39:17Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:19But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your Highness, every word Princess Narissa spake is true.
39:32Excellent. What a goddess of prophecy.
39:34Issue my command.
39:36In ten days, our army marches.
39:38We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike!
39:46Help me seize Valeria.
39:48And I shall make you my queen.
39:51Foolish man.
39:52Once I am your queen and bear your son,
39:55all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:05Felix, the enemy is too strong.
40:07We are not prepared.
40:08Per the plan, retreat.
40:10Abandon the city!
40:12And 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.
40:35In three days, only Prince Alaric will hold Valeria's second line of defense.
40:41Prince Julian will have already retreated to the capital.
40:45If Your Highness leads the raid in person,
40:48Prince Alaric can be captured in a single strike.
40:52Alaric!
40:53That hordy, cold-faced heir of Valeria!
40:56I shall have him groveling at my feet!
41:02Did Serra send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric!
41:09Heir of Valeria!
41:11Surprised, are you?
41:12Tonight I come for your head!
41:23Welcome.
41:32An empty city, just as she said.
41:35Neressa, this time I shall reward you handsomely.
41:44From this day forth, Valeria's second defense line also belongs to me!
41:52The proud heir of Valeria kneeling at my feet.
41:55How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself.
41:59I came precisely because I wanted to.
42:13Impossible.
42:14The 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.
42:23Our line of retreat has been cut.
42:27My intelligence could not be wrong.
42:32You set me up!
42:35Not me.
42:36It was my little sister, who still lies sleeping.
42:57Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Seraph, we did it.
43:14You lying witch!
43:16You have doomed his highness!
43:23Impossible.
43:24How can this be?
43:29Speak.
43:31The 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!
43:47Your highness, of course it is yours!
43:51Your highness, this young woman is not with child at all!
43:54There is yet one more thing you do not know.
43:56Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan our father took in twenty years ago.
44:04From the chaos of war.
44:08What?
44:09A ward?
44:10I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown
44:14for a swindling woman
44:17without a drop of royal blood.
44:21Let me end her with my own hands!
44:23Stop!
44:24Nerissa is a fugitive of Valeria!
44:28Her judgement is not yours to deliver!
44:39Sebastian, Crown Prince of Viramont,
44:42you initiated unprovoked war and invaded Valeria,
44:45bringing suffering upon the people of both lands.
44:48By the treaty between our two kingdoms,
44:51how shall you be judged?
44:52Your majesty of Valeria,
44:54our 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.
45:21And yet, you practiced the dark arts, poisoned my youngest son, framed my second, conspired against the royal house, committed
45:27high 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!
45:39Your son's devotion, your tender love, the fate of this kingdom, all of it was meant to be mine!
45:47Until that filthy thing from the Underless appeared!
45:50She stole my place! She 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, one who wields dark magic and conspires against the crown shall be stripped of all
46:06titles,
46:07exiled to the frozen islands, never to return!
46:10No! Not the frozen islands! All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:15All of this was supposed to be mine! Was supposed to be mine!
46:19My god, my god, my god!
46:23My god, my god, my god, my god...
46:27My god, my god...
46:29Your Highness...
46:31Tomorrow is the little princess's coronation.
46:33His Majesty has decreed, tonight, no-one is to keep vigil. He will sit with her alone.
46:39Very well.
46:44Little one, tomorrow is your coronation.
46:47These past few years, father has aged greatly.
46:50Coronation? Me?
46:52I've slept so long.
46:55The story should have returned to its course long ago.
46:59Why have I not woken?
47:00What is still missing?
47:02What is missing?
47:05My Sarah, tomorrow is your coronation.
47:09This crown was worn by your mother on the day of her own coronation.
47:12Her greatest regret, before she passed, was never seeing her own daughter wear it.
47:18Sarah, you have slept for so long.
47:22These past years, your 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.
47:31Valeria has never been stronger.
47:34And yet, there 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.
48:03Father.
48:06Father.
48:07Sarah.
48:08My 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, I will simply be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return all night.
48:31I thought something had happened.
48:33Good morning, Felix.
48:35Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost?
48:38It's not as if I actually died.
48:42Sarah, you're awake.
48:44You're awake.
48:45Felix.
48:46My milk is going to spill.
48:50Sarah.
48:51Sarah.
48:52Sarah.
48:53Brother.
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 as scheduled?
49:06Yes.
49:06Sarah is father's daughter.
49:09Sarah is the princess of Velouria.
49:11From today onward, Sarah will truly bear this name.
49:14I have never asked you, Sarah.
49:17Do you truly wish to call me father?
49:20Yes.
49:23It was you who lifted Sarah from the wilderness.
49:26You have given Sarah everything.
49:28Father.
49:29Sarah once came from a place far, far away.
49:33But from the moment I woke, I have known my true home is here.
49:38Where you came from, I never cared.
49:41I only cared whether you would stay.
49:52My dearest little princess, will you allow your brother Felix the honor of escorting you in?
50:13May the glory of Princess Seraphina of Velouria endure forever.
50:18May my little sister know nothing but joy all her days.
50:22May our Sarah be cherished by the whole world, always.
50:26From this day forth, you are Princess Seraphina of Velouria, bearer of the crown's honor of our glory, of every
50:33pure soul in this land.
50:36People of Velouria, welcome 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, turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness with
50:54nothing but tears.
50:56I thought I would change everything, but the truth is, my father in this place, and my three brothers, with
51:03their love, piece by piece, made me into the true Seraphana.
51:07This time, I do not choose my destiny.
51:10I accept it, because what destiny gave me is the most precious family in this world.
51:16This time, I do not choose my destiny.
51:20You
