Short filmTranscript
00:00Cecily is carrying my child. That crown is not fit for you.
00:04I froze on the spot. Morghouse, the queen dowager whom I had treated as my own mother, chimed in without
00:10a trace of shame.
00:11You cannot bear an heir. Cecily was generous enough to spare your wretched life, yet you were vicious enough to
00:18push her and nearly cause a miscarriage.
00:20I swallowed the metallic taste in my throat.
00:23If I leave, don't say you weren't warned.
00:26Alistair let out a scornful laugh.
00:28Without my protection, you would have died on the exile road ten years ago.
00:34Guards, throw her into the cold tower and leave her to rot.
00:38They seem to have forgotten that it was I who dug them out of a pile of corpses on that
00:41exile road ten years ago.
00:43They also had no idea that the fate of this new dynasty relied entirely on the light of destiny from
00:48my god bloodline, forcibly sustaining it.
00:50Looking at this mother and son who wanted me dead, I swallowed the blood in my mouth and stopped asking
00:55for any explanation.
00:56Divine warning, ten years of star blood protection have expired.
01:01Continue to offer the light of destiny?
01:05Withdraw it.
01:06The light of destiny will be completely stripped away in three days.
01:10Within three days, you may change your mind at any time.
01:16Before I could collect myself, the guards dragged me roughly out of the hall.
01:20I casually took off the queen's crown from my head and threw it at Alistair's feet.
01:24The crown rolled and fell, smashing jewels all over the floor.
01:28Alistair stared hard at my back, which showed no trace of regret, and knitted his brows into a tight knot.
01:33He seemed not to have expected me to be so resolute, a flash of inexplicable irritation crossed his eyes.
01:39Once she is in the cold tower, by my order, no one is to give her a single ember of
01:44coal or one drop of medicine for her wounds.
01:48Let's see just how tough her backbone really is.
01:52Cecily leaned delicately against Alistair, her eyes challenging me.
01:56Alistair, my sister was just jealous in the heat of the moment.
02:00Please don't upset yourself.
02:02With that, she gave a little cry that she was cold.
02:05Alistair instinctively moved to unfasten his cloak.
02:08But when his hand touched the clasp, he froze abruptly.
02:11It was a black fox fur cloak, with flame runes densely embroidered in gold thread over the heart.
02:16Ten years ago, in the frozen exile land, the coal poison had seeped into his bones,
02:20and the physician said he would not survive the night.
02:23It was I who pricked my own heart with a hairpin, used my star blood as a guide,
02:27and stayed up three whole nights sewing that cloak stitch by stitch, pulling him back from the brink of death.
02:32Alistair's fingers curled slightly.
02:34But he glanced at Cecily's slightly swollen belly, and in the end he unfastened the cloak and wrapped it around
02:39her.
02:39Yet he muttered a low warning.
02:41Don't dirty it.
02:42Cecily stiffened, then nodded obediently, but jealousy flashed in her eyes.
02:49The guards dragged me all the way and threw me into the cold tower, overgrown with weeds.
02:53The wind crept through the broken window lattice, drilling into my very bones.
02:58The agony of having the destiny stripped away began to set in.
03:01I fell onto the damp, muddy ground and vomited a mouthful of black blood.
03:05My lady!
03:06A thin, dark figure rushed out from a corner and hugged me tightly.
03:10It was Primrose.
03:11Ten years ago on the exile road, when I was starving to death,
03:14the silly girl secretly cut flesh from her own thigh and boiled it into soup to feed me.
03:18Now, seeing me covered in blood, she wept as if her heart would break.
03:22My lady, how could the king treat you like this?
03:26If you hadn't taken that arrow for him back then, he would have...
03:29Stop.
03:30I leaned weakly against her and wiped the blood from my lips.
03:33He doesn't deserve to speak of those days.
03:36The first night.
03:37The capital, which had enjoyed favorable weather, was suddenly hit by a violent gale.
03:42The first thread of golden light was silently being drawn away from above the throne palace where Alistair sat.
03:47That was my light of destiny.
03:49Since they have taken my crown, I shall take away their kingdom's fortune.
03:56At the same time, in the throne palace, Alistair, who had just fallen asleep with Cecily in his arms,
04:03suddenly felt a piercing pain in his chest.
04:05It was the old poison from ten years ago.
04:07For those ten years, I had used my star blood every month to suppress it,
04:12so he had long believed that the court physicians had cured him.
04:14He broke out in a cold sweat from the pain and instinctively called out the name carved into his bones.
04:19Sarah, my chest hurts.
04:22Llewellyn, the chamberlain on night duty, fell to his knees in terror.
04:26Your majesty, the queen has already been banished to the cold tower.
04:31Alistair jolted awake.
04:32He looked at the sleeping Cecily beside him, and his eyes churned with anger and panic.
04:38Silence!
04:39Without her, I can live just fine.
04:42Countdown.
04:43Two days remaining.
04:44My body grew colder and colder.
04:46The pain of having my divine meridians ripped away left me barely able to stand.
04:51The door of the cold tower was kicked open.
04:56Cecily, surrounded by seven or eight maids, strode in with her belly thrust out.
05:01She covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief in disgust.
05:04This place is worse than a pig shed.
05:07How is my once exalted queen sister finding it?
05:11Isn't that fake belly of yours rather hot under all that padding?
05:15Cecily's face changed dramatically.
05:17Then she stepped forward viciously and slapped me across the face.
05:22Wretch!
05:23Still running your mouth when death is at your door!
05:26Primrose shoved Cecily roughly aside.
05:29Don't you dare hit my lady!
05:30Cecily stumbled back two steps and fell straight into the arms of Alistair.
05:35Alistair!
05:36My sister's wretched servant is trying to kill our child!
05:39She immediately clucked her belly.
05:41Alistair flew into a rage and kicked Primrose so hard that she flew through the air.
05:45Primrose crashed heavily into the stone wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
05:50Alistair!
05:50My eyes blazing with fury, I struggled to crawl over and shield Primrose.
05:55Alistair seized my jaw tightly.
05:58Seraphina, you allow your vicious servant to plot against the royal heir.
06:02Do you really think I dare not kill you?
06:07Just then, his eyes fell on a pendant that had slipped out from my neck.
06:11It was a remarkably smooth pink gold gem, the only heirloom my mother left me, called the
06:16Starfell Pendant.
06:17Years ago in the snowy mountains, when Alistair was attacked by wolves, this gem had erupted
06:22with divine power and taken the fatal blow for him, leaving a crack on its surface.
06:26Cecily's eyes flickered.
06:29Alistair, Alistair, that pendant is so beautiful.
06:31The royal physician says my pregnancy is unstable.
06:35If I had such a spiritual stone to nurture me, the little prince would surely be born safely.
06:41Alistair hesitated.
06:43He knew how important that pendant was to me, it was my very lifeline.
06:47I clutched the pendant tightly and looked at him with red eyes.
06:50Alistair, my mother left this to me.
06:53Just you dare touch it.
06:54Alistair saw the resolve in my eyes, and his heart inexplicably twinged.
06:59You are nothing but a cripple now.
07:02Keeping such a treasure is a waste.
07:05Cecily is carrying my first child.
07:09With that, he mercilessly pried open my fingers and tore off the leather cord.
07:15I screamed in anguish.
07:17Alistair handed the pendant to Cecily.
07:19But Cecily pretended to fumble it.
07:22There was a sharp crack.
07:23The pink old gem that had once saved Alistair's life and carried my mother's soul shattered into pieces on the
07:28stone floor.
07:29The world seemed to fall into dead silence at that moment.
07:33Oh dear.
07:35How clumsy of me.
07:37Sister won't be angry, will she?
07:39I stared blankly at the broken gem on the ground.
07:41The last trace of tenderness in my heart for the youth of ten years ago shattered completely along with that
07:46gem.
07:47I did not cry.
07:48Instead, I let out a strange, abrupt laugh.
07:51Alistair's scalp prickled at the sound of my laughter.
07:54He looked at the shattered gem on the floor, and suddenly it felt as if a piece of his heart
07:58had gone missing.
07:59As if something most precious had left him forever.
08:03It's just a worthless stone.
08:05I'll give you a hundred in return.
08:07He grabbed Cecily and fled.
08:09Countdown.
08:10The final day.
08:12A messenger on horseback from the border galloped into the capital.
08:15The enemy army, which had been repelled, suddenly gathered a hundred thousand troops for a night raid, captured two cities
08:21in a row, and the defending generals were killed in battle.
08:24The court and the whole kingdom were shaken.
08:26The royal astrologer observed the night sky and cried out in alarm that the star representing Asteria had dimmed.
08:32A star of disaster had descended, and chaos would engulf the court.
08:36The chamberlain scrambled into the council chamber.
08:42Your majesty, Lady Seslik has suddenly started bleeding.
08:46The royal physician says that an evil error has disturbed the spirit of the unborn child.
08:50An hour later, a large contingent of guards stormed the coal tower.
08:54Primrose was pinned flat to the ground in the courtyard by two burly maids.
08:58Alistair stood under the eaves, his face ashen, clutching a cursed doll inscribed with Cecily's birth date.
09:04Serafina.
09:06This cursed object was found under your bed.
09:09The Astroloper has calculated clearly that your fate has changed.
09:13You are the very disaster star who has doomed my hundred thousand soldiers and disturbed the royal air.
09:18The guards pinned me to the ground.
09:20I shook my head desperately.
09:22I did not!
09:23This is a frame-up!
09:24Cecily, pale-faced and leaning on a couch, pointed at Primrose and wailed.
09:28Your majesty, it was this wretched servant who secretly buried the doll outside the tower.
09:35No!
09:36I only went to ask for some hot water.
09:38My lady is freezing to death!
09:40Primrose cowed out as she wept.
09:43Alistair would not listen.
09:44He looked at my pallid face, and the panic in his heart turned entirely into fury.
09:48So you won't confess?
09:51Then let your servant bear the punishment in your stead.
09:55Beat her hard!
09:57The heavy wooden club landed on Primrose's thin back.
10:00The sound of breaking bones was terribly clear in the silent coal tower.
10:04Alistair!
10:05Come at me!
10:06Beat me instead!
10:08I broke free from the guards like a madwoman and threw myself over Primrose, taking a blow for her.
10:13That blow shattered my shoulder blade.
10:15The pain made everything go black.
10:17But I held on tightly to the person beneath me.
10:20Alistair!
10:21I beg you, spare her!
10:23I'll let you drain my heart's blood again!
10:26I'll give you my life!
10:28Alistair looked at me groveling in the dirt.
10:30He opened his mouth, about to call a halt.
10:36Your Majesty!
10:38Evil must be eradicated root and branch.
10:40The natural and man-made disasters are all because of this poison woman.
10:45Show no mercy.
10:47In that instant...
10:48My lady...
10:50Don't beg him.
10:53He's not worthy.
10:56I'll go on ahead.
10:58Please live well.
11:00Before she finished, the maidservant brought the club down hard on the back of her head.
11:05Primrose's head drooped limply.
11:07She was gone.
11:09Primrose!
11:13A thunderclap exploded in the sky, and a torrential downpour followed.
11:17I held Primrose's body as it grew stiff, and my heart became a dry, empty well.
11:22Alistair, I will not leave you a single shred of this kingdom's destiny.
11:26Alistair stood under an umbrella, looking at me silent in the rain like a vengeful ghost.
11:31His voice trembled with panic.
11:33You brought this upon yourself!
11:35The astrologer has said that a disaster star has arrived.
11:39Only a living sacrifice by fire can aspise heaven's wrath.
11:42Tomorrow is Cecily's coronation, and I will sacrifice you to heaven to secure the kingdom of Asteria!
11:50The third day.
11:51The coronation, and also my living sacrifice.
11:54On the square outside the cathedral, the dense black clouds seemed ready to crush the entire capital.
11:59With one arm broken and my body drenched in blood,
12:02I was tightly bound by thick iron chains to a stake dozens of feet high.
12:06Beneath me was a mountain of dry wood drenched in oil.
12:09All the nobles of the court and tens of thousands of citizens surrounded the sacrificial platform,
12:14glaring at me with venomous eyes.
12:15Burn the disaster star!
12:18Burn this poisonous woman who has brought chaos to the kingdom!
12:21Countless rotten vegetables and stones hit my face, but I did not even blink.
12:26High up on the stone steps, Alistair, in his golden royal robe, held Cecily in his arms.
12:32She wore a crimson ceremonial gown and the queen's crown that had once been mine.
12:36Seraphina, you have committed so many evils that you have aroused the anger of heaven and the hatred of the
12:41people.
12:42For the centuries-old foundation of Asteria, and for the people of this kingdom, I must put you to this
12:47hardship.
12:48Cecily stroked her belly and smiled viciously.
12:51Sister, go in peace.
12:54After you die, the kingdom will enjoy favorable weather,
12:57and my bloodline with his majesty will be borne safely.
13:00Execute the sentence!
13:03Light the fire!
13:09A dozen guards with torches stepped forward and hurled their torches onto the woodpile beneath me.
13:13A towering inferno erupted in an instant, as if it would devour me any second.
13:18The scorching heat charred my skirt and seared my skin.
13:21Alistair stared fixably at me in the sea of fire.
13:24He was waiting for me to break down and weep as I used to, to bow my head and beg
13:28for mercy.
13:29If I begged, he had actually prepared a water cart in secret and could spare my life.
13:34But he was wrong.
13:35In the very last second before the fire would burn through me, I slowly raised my head and looked at
13:40him.
13:41Alistair, you are truly pitiful.
13:43You used the kingdom I gave you to sentence me to death.
13:47Alistair, the destiny of Asteria.
13:50I have withdrawn it.
13:52Countdown.
13:53Three, two, one.
13:55Light of destiny completely reset to zero.
13:59In the very last second before the fire consumed me.
14:02Above the sky, an apocalyptic thunderclap exploded.
14:06A pure purple lightning bolt, thick as a dragon, struck straight at the king's pillar that represented the royal authority
14:12of Asteria.
14:16Alistair was thrown to the ground by the blast.
14:18He scrambled to his feet.
14:20He dashed towards the stake dozens of feet high.
14:23The fire raged to the sky.
14:25The massive woodpile collapsed completely.
14:27I closed my eyes.
14:29I let the last of my divine blood ignite into flames.
14:32Under the cover of the heavenly punishment.
14:35I crushed the teleportation array that my mother had left inside the pendant.
14:39White light mingled with the flames.
14:41I vanished into thin air before Alistair's eyes.
14:44Only a pile of ashes remained.
14:46And the half-burnt, heavy iron chain.
14:51Alistair threw himself to the edge of the sea of fire.
14:54The fire licked at his golden royal robe.
14:57Llewellyn, the chamberlain, grabbed him tightly around the waist.
15:01Your majesty, it's dangerous!
15:03Alistair kicked Llewellyn away.
15:05He raked through the scalding ashes with his bare hands.
15:08The smell of burning flesh filled the air.
15:11Alistair's hands were covered with huge, seeping blisters.
15:14He found nothing.
15:16Not even a single bone was left.
15:18The disaster star has been destroyed!
15:22Alistair, she is dead and gone!
15:25Alistair whirled around.
15:27He stared at Cecily's face.
15:28That face, which usually aroused all his pity and affection,
15:32is now twisted beyond recognition.
15:34Get away from me!
15:37Alistair roared.
15:38He stumbled down the stone steps.
15:40Snatched a guard's horse.
15:42He galloped all the way back to the throne palace.
15:45He had to find out for himself.
15:47He pushed open the heavy oak door of the hall.
15:50Inside was empty.
15:51Everything that belonged to me was gone.
15:53The brocade bedding on the bed.
15:55The wooden comb on the dressing table.
15:57The clay pot I had used to brew his medicinal broth.
16:00All gone.
16:04The maidservant in charge of cleaning knelt on the floor, trembling.
16:08Before the queen left, she ordered me to burn all the old things.
16:13That black fox fur cloak that had protected his heart,
16:16had also become a pile of black ash in a bronze basin.
16:20Alistair clutched his chest.
16:22It hurt.
16:23A piercing pain spread through his limbs and bones.
16:25He spat out a mouthful of black blood.
16:28I had severed all ties with him, including the destiny tablet I had left at the astrologer's
16:33guild.
16:33The tablet had crumbled to powder.
16:36There was not even the possibility of piecing it back together.
16:39Alistair fell back into a sitting position in the pile of paper ashes.
16:43His hands shook.
16:44He desperately gathered the ashes to his chest.
16:47Sarah, come out.
16:49I won't burn you anymore.
16:51Come out.
16:52No one answered.
16:53Only the mournful cold wind outside the window.
16:55Your majesty, Lady Cecily's pregnancy is disturbed.
16:59Please come to the tower.
17:00Alistair snapped his head up.
17:02Red veins crawled over the whites of his eyes.
17:04He knocked the medicine bowl out of Llewellyn's hands.
17:07The scalding liquid splashed all over Llewellyn's face.
17:10Let her die!
17:13Alistair drew the sword from the wall.
17:15With one stroke, he split the oak table in front of him into pieces.
17:19He swung the sword wildly.
17:21The silk drapes inside the hall were torn to shreds.
17:24Vases shattered across the floor.
17:26He smashed the palace to pieces.
17:29Finally, exhausted, he collapsed in the ruins.
17:32Outside, a storm began to pour.
17:35Rainwater, streaming through the broken window lattice, lashed his face.
17:38He tore at his hair and let out a beastly howl.
17:41He refused to accept the truth.
17:43He could not believe that the woman who loved him like her own life had turned to ash.
17:48Search!
17:49Dig three feet into the ground if you must find her!
17:54Alive!
17:54I want to see her!
17:55Dead!
17:56I want to see her body!
18:02Alistair's madness lasted a full seven days.
18:04The capital was turned upside down by the guards.
18:07The city gates were sealed.
18:09House-to-house searches were conducted.
18:12Nothing was found.
18:13From inside the tower came a piercing scream.
18:16Cecily was bleeding.
18:17Alistair, sword still wet with blood, burst into the bedchamber.
18:21The royal physicians knelt in a row, trembling like leaves.
18:25Speak.
18:26Alistair pressed the tip of his sword against the chief physician's neck.
18:29The chief physician cowed out frantically.
18:32Lady Cecily was never pregnant.
18:35It was a false pregnancy pulse caused by long-term consumption of wormwood.
18:42Cecily lay limp on the bed.
18:44The cotton pillow she had tucked under her waist and belly rolled onto the floor.
18:47Alistair's eyes seemed about to split.
18:51You dared to deceive me!
18:54Alistair, I was wrong!
18:57It was her!
18:58Sarah forced me!
19:00Just then, the captain of the personal guard appeared.
19:03He presented a thick stack of documents with both hands.
19:06They were the results of ten days of investigation by the guards.
19:09Your majesty, I have confirmed that the cursed doll in the cold tower was buried in the dead of night
19:17by Lady Cecily's personal maid, and...
19:20The captain paused.
19:21Ten years ago, on the snowy mountain, while you were being saved, Lady Cecily hid in a cave the whole
19:28time.
19:29The one who truly drew the wolves away was the queen.
19:34Lady Cecily also regularly poisoned the queen's calming tonic to damage the queen's divine meridians.
19:45Alistair's hand loosened abruptly.
19:47Cecily crashed to the floor and coughed violently.
19:50Alistair stared at the stack of documents.
19:52Every word turned into a poison steel needle, stabbing into his eyes.
19:56All along, he had treated a demon as a goddess.
20:00Yet he had pushed the true divine maiden onto the fiery stake.
20:03What about Primrose?
20:05Alistair's voice was terrifyingly hoarse.
20:08Before Primrose died, Lady Cecily had every bone in her body broken.
20:14Alistair staggered back three steps.
20:16His back slammed hard into a pillar.
20:19He gasped for breath, then suddenly let out a wretched, piercing laugh.
20:23He laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
20:26He stomped on Cecily's hand, grounded under his heel.
20:30Cecily shrieked.
20:32Alistair, have mercy!
20:35Alistair drew a dagger.
20:36He moved extremely fast.
20:38He plunged the blade into Cecily's shoulder.
20:42Have mercy on you!
20:44Who will have mercy on Sarah?
20:46Who will give Sarah back to me?!
20:51He severed the tendons in Cecily's hands and feet.
20:54Cecily fainted from the pain.
20:57Wake her with salt water!
20:59Alistair threw away the dagger.
21:02Throw her into the dungeon.
21:04Cut a piece of fesh from her every day.
21:06Feed her the best life-prolonging medicine.
21:09I want her to live a full ten years!
21:11Cecily was dragged away by the guards like a dead dog.
21:14The bloodstains on the floor were horrifying.
21:17Sarah!
21:19I was wrong!
21:21Alistair knelt in the pool of blood.
21:23He covered his face with his hands.
21:25Tears mixed with blood trickled through his fingers.
21:27The fate of Asteria had changed, without the protection of the Light of Destiny.
21:32The North suffered months of drought, and the land was littered with the starving dead.
21:36The South was plagued by frequent floods, and dykes burst.
21:40Enemy nations seized the opportunity to send troops, and three border cities fell in a row.
21:44Alistair neither slept nor rested, day or night.
21:47Half his hair turned white.
21:49He became a mad tyrant.
21:51In court, any word that displeased him was met with immediate execution.
21:56Everyone said a tyrant had descended upon the world.
21:59Only Llewellyn knew.
22:00Every night, deep into the darkness, the king would hold a charred wooden comb,
22:04and kneel outside the abandoned coal tower until dawn.
22:10Three years later, in the south, Port City, the main street was bustling with traffic and crowds.
22:16I sat in the main hall of the Holy Light Clinic.
22:19I placed my fingers on a patient's wrist, picked up a brush, and wrote out a prescription.
22:24Your medicine will be prepared according to this prescription.
22:28You will be cured in three days.
22:30The patient left, showering me with thanks.
22:33I picked up the ceramic, silver-rimmed bowl from the table.
22:37The honeyed water was at the perfect temperature.
22:40Lysander walked over and naturally refilled the bowl with hot water.
22:43You've seen 50 patients today, Sarah.
22:46Time to rest.
22:47He wore a long moon-white robe, gentle, upright.
22:50He was the head of the Lysander family, the richest in the south.
22:54Three years ago, I landed outside Port City through the teleportation array.
22:58Badly wounded and near death.
23:00Lysander's carriage happened to pass by, and he picked me up.
23:03With the little medical skill I had left, I cured his naturally weak constitution.
23:08He funded me to establish a trading company.
23:11Now, the signboard of the Exchange Guild hung in 12 southern cities.
23:14I was not only a divine physician, but also the uncrowned queen who held the economic lifeline of hysteria.
23:23I blew on the bowl and took a sip.
23:25There are more refugees outside the city today.
23:29There is a great drought in the north, and the court's relief money has been embezzled.
23:34The young king pushes too hard, and the people are full of complaints.
23:38I put down the silver-rimmed bowl.
23:40When I heard the words young king, my heart no longer stirred.
23:44That man was far, far away from me now.
23:48Just then, a commotion broke out in the street.
23:50A troop of soldiers in tattered armor was driving away the refugees.
23:54The leading officer brandished a whip.
23:56Get out of the way!
23:58Don't block the path of the royal envoy.
24:00A plain, dark carriage rolled slowly towards them.
24:03Suddenly, several assassins rushed out from the crowd.
24:07They raised their blades and struck at the carriage.
24:09Kill the lackeys of the Daub King!
24:11The carriage compartment was smashed to pieces.
24:14A black figure tumbled out.
24:16His hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched.
24:19It was Alistair, traveling incognito to the south to raise funds.
24:23Most of his personal guards around him were dead or wounded.
24:26An assassin's blade came straight at his face.
24:29Alistair raised his sword to block.
24:31Weak from exhaustion, he was forced back step after step.
24:34He retreated all the way to the door of my clinic.
24:37He spat out blood and dropped to one knee, propping himself up with his sword.
24:44The assassin raised his blade to strike.
24:47I sat in the main hall, watching coldly.
24:50Shall we save him?
24:52I shook my head.
24:55Don't dirty the clinic's floor.
24:58Alistair heard that familiar voice.
25:01His whole body trembled violently.
25:03He whipped his head around.
25:05Through the bustling crowd.
25:06Across three years of life and death.
25:09His eyes met mine directly.
25:11That face he had longed for day and night.
25:13That face that had appeared in his dreams countless times.
25:16Was right there in front of him.
25:18Alistair forgot to dodge the assassin's blade.
25:21He stared at me, unblinking.
25:23His breath stopped.
25:25Sarah.
25:26The assassin's blade slashed across his back.
25:28Blood sprayed.
25:30He felt nothing.
25:33Sarah!
25:33Sarah!
25:34Is it really you?
25:39Alistair knocked over the herb stall in front of the clinic, sending medicinal herbs scattering
25:43all over the ground.
25:45He threw himself down at the bottom of the steps and looked up at me.
25:48His face was covered in blood and mud.
25:51Sarah.
25:51He reached out a bloody hand, trying to grab the hem of my skirt.
25:55I stepped back.
25:57Avoided his touch.
25:58Lysander strode forward.
26:00He kicked Alistair hard in the shoulder.
26:03Alistair fell back down the steps and rolled twice.
26:05Lysander drew the sword from his waist and pointed its tip at him.
26:09How dare you!
26:11Who is this ruffian causing trouble here?
26:14The personal guards arrived and killed the assassins.
26:17They shielded Alistair.
26:19Protect his majesty!
26:22At those words, the whole street fell silent.
26:25The common people dropped to their knees.
26:28Only Lysander and I remained standing.
26:30Alistair pushed aside his guards.
26:32Ignoring the knife wound on his back, he crawled towards me again.
26:36He pushed aside Lysander's sword.
26:38Letting the sharp blade cut his palm.
26:40He fell heavily to his knees at my feet.
26:43The proud king of Asteria, in front of everyone, went down on both knees.
26:48Sarah, I have finally found you.
26:50He wept so hard that tears covered his face.
26:53Tears washed through the blood.
26:57Thank God!
26:59Come back to the palace with me, won't you?
27:02The queen's throne is yours!
27:04I'll give you my very life!
27:06I looked down at him from above, watching him grovel like a begging dog.
27:11I only felt disgust.
27:13I picked up the basin of dirty water used for washing herbs,
27:16poured the whole basin over his head,
27:18soaking him completely, making him look utterly pathetic.
27:23Alistair did not dodge.
27:24He wiped the filthy water from his face and continued to beg.
27:28Sarah, hit me.
27:29Curse me.
27:31As long as you feel better, anything is fine.
27:33I threw the basin aside and dusted off my hands.
27:37Alistair, you have mistaken me for someone else.
27:41I am Serafina, not your Sarah.
27:46Alistair shook his head violently.
27:48He raised his hand.
27:49He delivered a loud, stinging slap to his own face.
27:54Another one.
27:56He struck himself left and right until blood ran from the corner of his mouth.
28:00I was blind.
28:02I trusted that poisonous woman.
28:06Cecily has been tortured to death by a thousand cuts.
28:11I avenged Primrose for you.
28:15At the name Primrose, I clenched my fists tightly.
28:19A surge of rage shot to my head.
28:21I walked down the steps and landed a heavy kick on Alistair's chest,
28:26knocking him to the ground.
28:28You are not worthy to speak Primrose's name.
28:31While she was taking those blows for me, what were you doing?
28:34You were holding that poisonous woman and watching the show.
28:38You had her beaten to death in the cold tower.
28:42Alistair clutched his chest and wept bitterly.
28:44I didn't know.
28:46I truly didn't know.
28:48Lysander stepped forward and put his arm around my shoulder,
28:51pulling me protectively into his embrace.
28:54Fina, be careful.
28:56Don't disturb the baby.
28:58He deliberately raised his voice.
29:00Alistair looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
29:02He stared at Lysander's hand on my waist,
29:05then at my flat belly.
29:07His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
29:09What did you call her?
29:10Whose child are you carrying?
29:13Alistair sprang up from the ground.
29:15Like a cornered mad dog,
29:17he drew a guard sword and slashed at Lysander.
29:21I'll kill him!
29:26Lysander dodged easily.
29:28One kick sent the sword flying from Alistair's hand.
29:30I stepped in front of Lysander,
29:33raised my hand.
29:34A crisp slap landed on Alistair's face,
29:37turning his head to the side.
29:39Go back to your capital!
29:42I pointed to the end of the street.
29:44Don't force me to grind your face into the mud!
29:48Alistair held his cheek,
29:50looked at me in despair.
29:52He suddenly tore the royal insignia from his belt
29:55and smashed it onto the ground.
29:57I am the king!
29:59I command you to come back with me!
30:02He tried to use the last of his royal authority
30:05to intimidate me.
30:08I could not help but burst out laughing.
30:11Laughed so hard that tears came out.
30:13King!
30:14I stepped back twice and looked at him coldly.
30:17Your majesty!
30:18You can't even pay your army's wages now, can you?
30:21From my sleeve, I took out a golden token.
30:24It was the highest seal of the Silver Coin Guild.
30:27I threw it at his feet.
30:29See what this is.
30:30The moment Alistair recognized the token,
30:33his face turned ashen.
30:35You...
30:36You are the master of the Silver Coin Guild?
30:39I nodded.
30:40The relief funds you came south to raise,
30:43I hold every coin of them in my hand.
30:45With a single word from me,
30:47the price of grain in Asteria could rise tenfold.
30:51What do you have to fight me with?
30:53Alistair's legs gave way,
30:54and he slumped completely to the ground.
30:56He looked up at my unfamiliar face.
30:59Sarah,
31:00how did you become like this?
31:03You used to feel sad even when you stepped on an aunt.
31:06I suddenly tore open my collar,
31:08revealing the hideous burn scar beneath my collarbone.
31:11It was the mark left by the holy fire.
31:13The Seraphina of the past burned to death on that stake in front of the cathedral.
31:19I stepped towards him,
31:20one step at a time.
31:22You want money?
31:24Fine.
31:25Kneel outside the city for three days and three nights.
31:29Shout Alistair is a beast a thousand times.
31:33Then I will give you a hundred thousand silver coins.
31:40Alistair trembled all over.
31:41He saw the people around him pointing and whispering.
31:44His proud dignity was being ground into the dirt.
31:47He closed his eyes,
31:48and two streams of bloody tears ran down his face.
31:51He slowly turned around,
31:53facing the direction outside the city,
31:55and cowed out heavily.
31:57Alistair
31:59is a beast.
32:01The personal guards knelt and wept.
32:04Your majesty, you must not.
32:07Alistair pushed the guards aside and continued to cowed out.
32:10Alistair is a beast!
32:12With every shout,
32:14his heart shattered a little more.
32:15I took Lysander's hand and turned to walk into the clinic.
32:18The heavy door slammed shut.
32:20Shutting him out,
32:22Lysander draped a coat over my shoulders.
32:24You're not pregnant.
32:27Why lie to him?
32:28I picked up the cold honeyed water and poured it on the floor.
32:31If you don't blind his eyes,
32:35how will he ever feel the pain?
32:37From outside the door came Alistair's horse shouts,
32:40one after another.
32:42My life
32:42had long since left no room for him.
32:48Alistair knelt outside the city for three days and three nights.
32:51He shouted until his throat bled.
32:53His knees were scraped raw down to the bone.
32:56I kept my promise and gave him a hundred thousand silver coins.
32:59He dragged his broken body back to the capital.
33:02But he had lost.
33:04A hundred thousand silver coins could not fill the gaping holes in Asteria.
33:08Asteria, without the protection of destiny,
33:10had reached the end of its days.
33:12Half a year later,
33:14the northern defenses collapsed completely.
33:16Rebel forces broke through the gates of the capital.
33:19Alistair was dragged down from his throne by the rebels.
33:22They severed the tendons in his hands and feet,
33:25crippling his ability to fight.
33:26The rebel leader did not kill him.
33:28Instead,
33:29he threw him into the lowest,
33:31most wretched beggar's pit in the capital,
33:33leaving him to live or die as fate would have it.
33:36In the midst of the kingdom's chaos,
33:38Lysander raised his own army,
33:39with the financial backing of the Silver Coin Guild.
33:42Lysander's forces swept through the land.
33:44In just one year,
33:46he pacified the entire realm.
33:48Lysander ascended the throne as emperor.
33:50He changed the kingdom's name to Nova,
33:52and made me his empress.
33:57On the day of our grand wedding,
33:59red carpets and flowers covered the entire main street.
34:02Pebbles swirled in the air.
34:04I wore the imperial crown in a golden gown,
34:06seated in a carriage drawn by six horses,
34:09receiving the homage of the people.
34:11In a corner of the crowd,
34:13a filthy, disheveled beggar with crippled hands and feet lay beside a gutter.
34:17He was fighting a stray dog for half a moldy loaf of bread.
34:20When the fanfare sounded,
34:22when the people around shouted,
34:23long live her majesty the empress.
34:25The beggar jerked his head up.
34:27His eyes, hidden beneath matted hair,
34:30fixed on me in the carriage.
34:31It was Alistair.
34:33He looked at the magnificent crown on my head,
34:35and remembered the one he himself had smashed.
34:38Remembered the great fire in front of the cathedral.
34:41He opened his mouth to call my name.
34:44Sarah.
34:44But his throat only produced a wheezing hiss.
34:48He tried to crawl forward.
34:50A stray dog pounced on him and bit his leg hard.
34:53Alistair fell into the muddy water.
34:55He watched helplessly as the carriage moved farther away.
34:58Watched Lysander, on his tall horse,
35:00look back at me with tender eyes.
35:02Jealousy, remorse, and despair intertwined.
35:06Alistair's heart seized with a violent, agonizing pain.
35:09The old poison exploded inside him.
35:11He suddenly spat out a huge mouthful of black blood.
35:14Blood splattered onto the stone slabs by the road.
35:17His outstretched hand fell limply.
35:19He died with his eyes wide open.
35:21A patrolling soldier kicked his body aside in disgust.
35:25Drag him into the wilderness.
35:28And feed him to the wolves.
35:33The first year of the new dynasty.
35:35Only the empress's hall remained in the inner palace.
35:38All other palaces were torn down.
35:41The timber and stone were taken outside the city to build schools.
35:44Court officials petitioned and remonstrated.
35:47Lysander drew his sword before all the civil and military officials.
35:50And chopped off the arm of the throne.
35:52Anyone who mentions selecting concubines again will end up like this throne.
35:56No one in the court dared speak another word.
35:59After the mourning court.
36:01Lysander did not even change out of his imperial robe.
36:03He went straight to the empress's hall.
36:05I was sitting at the desk.
36:07Reading the account books that the silver coin guild had sent to the palace.
36:10He walked over and placed a token on the table.
36:13Made of pure gold.
36:15The seal of the imperial treasury.
36:18The finance minister says the treasury is empty.
36:22He told me to come and ask the head of the silver coin guild for a loan.
36:29I did not look up.
36:31My fingers moved the counting beads.
36:33How much?
36:34Lend me a hundred years of peace.
36:37For the Nova dynasty.
36:39My fingers stopped.
36:40I looked up at him.
36:42He poured a cup of hot honeyed water and handed it to me.
36:47Without the light of destiny.
36:49Without the support of divine blood.
36:52The northern drought.
36:53500,000 silver coins were allocated to build irrigation channels.
36:56The southern floods.
36:58Guild stewards were sent to supervise the construction of dikes.
37:01The people had food to eat.
37:03Clothes to wear.
37:04Peace and prosperity relied on real gold.
37:06Real silver.
37:07And real governance.
37:08Not on some ethereal destiny.
37:11I picked up the silver rimmed bowl and took a sip.
37:14Fancy a walk outside the palace?
37:17We changed into ordinary clothes.
37:20Two fast horses carried us through the city gates.
37:22The capital's main street was bustling with people.
37:25Vendors called out their wares without cease.
37:28A long line had formed outside the clinic.
37:30I dismounted and walked into the clinic.
37:33The resident physician saw me and immediately rose to offer me his seat.
37:36I sat down behind the examination table.
37:39Placed my fingers on a patient's wrist.
37:42Picked up the brush and wrote a prescription.
37:44Take three doses of this medicine.
37:46Boiled in water and take an oranil.
37:49I saw 30 patients in a row.
37:51Lysander stood behind me.
37:54Handed me paper.
37:55The people recognized Lysander.
37:57Knelt to the ground.
37:59There was no fear.
38:00Only reverence.
38:02He raised his hand to excuse them from the formalities.
38:05Then took my hand and led me out of the clinic.
38:10Poplar trees lined the riverbank outside the city moat.
38:13Their branches were showing green.
38:15We walked side by side along the embankment.
38:18The wind blew across the water.
38:20The old stories of the previous dynasty had burned away with that fire at the cathedral.
38:24No one spoke of disaster stars anymore.
38:27No one spoke of living sacrifices.
38:29In the taverns, minstrels tapped on wooden tables and sang of how the new empire's emperor and empress had raised
38:34an army and pacified the kingdom.
38:35The crowd roared with approval.
38:38The south sent some fragrant herbs.
38:42Tomorrow I'll have the royal kitchen make vanilla biscuits.
38:46I nodded.
38:47While you're at it, tell the guild steward to send up last month's dividends.
38:53The treasury of Nova is entirely supported by its empress.
38:57I gazed at the boats on the river.
38:59Without the light of destiny, this kingdom was still well taken care of.
39:04I touched the burn scar beneath my collarbone.
39:07It no longer hurt.
39:08Primrose's memorial tablet was enshrined in the capital's cathedral.
39:12Every day, someone lit a candle for her.
39:15Lysander took my hand.
39:17His palm was warm.
39:19Let's go back to the palace for dinner.
39:22All right.
39:38各位,借著公司住年慨的機會.我向大家宣布一件事
39:45.經過慎重考慮,公司決定提拔一名優秀员工進進行管理.
39:48What kind of food?
39:50Is that he's a kid?
39:51A plate of tea is 3,3 pesos,
39:53a good food.
39:54Go for it and take a walk.
39:56Don't lose it.
39:57Is that he's a kid?
40:00A plate of tea is 3,3 pesos,
40:01Is that he?
40:04producción de Москв後,
40:05how did he not use it?
40:06Let's go see.
40:07A plate of tea is 3,3 pesos,
40:10a good food.
40:10Go for it and take a walk.
40:13Don't lose it.
40:15Let me know!
40:18When the movie was the first time, the movie was the same.
40:20Then, I went to the office for a year's wedding.
40:24Today, it was just a work day.
40:27Just like I found it out of that day.
40:39How many times?
40:41I was at 8.00 when I was at the time.
40:43I was at 8.01.
40:44You can't do that.
40:45You can't do that.
40:46I'm sorry.
40:46I'm not a kid, I'm not a kid.
40:48I will never be sure.
40:51You're not a kid.
40:59You're not a kid in the past.
41:01How's it going?
41:02It's probably that the company's new year-old
41:05has been a lot of serious error.
41:06An assistant?
41:08Yes.
41:08That's the one you've been hired today
41:10is just the one you've been here for the company.
41:12It's just a kid.
41:14No, it's just open.
41:15What do you mean?
41:17He will teach me well.
41:38I'm wrong.
41:41It's so difficult.
41:42What do you mean,裴总?
41:44The 5th and the 4th?
41:46The 4th?
41:47I'm right.
41:48I'm so smart.
41:49I have to give you a small cake.
41:51Yes.裴总,

41:58to do two things. I forgot about it.
42:01He's in college.
42:02It's my own team.
42:05He doesn't want to ask
42:07such a problem. I can't think of it.
42:10I'm so smart.
42:11I'm so smart.
42:12I'm so smart.
42:15I'm so smart.
42:20I'm so smart.
42:22I'm so smart.
42:23I'm so smart.
42:36I'm so smart.
42:38I'm so smart.
42:40You should also know that young women are not satisfied.
42:43You're so smart.
42:45You're so smart.裴总,
42:45you said it was really? Yes. I'm
42:49so smart.
42:50I'm so smart.
43:06I'm so smart.

43:08I'm so smart.
43:09You'll be at the office.
43:11I'm so smart.
