07:36trust in him and it ends with the brothers killing each other poor felix perfect this is the chance to
07:44see if this baby's thoughts are actually true father i saw signs of a struggle in the opposite
07:51direction felix might be over there in that case split up search both ways

14:12narissa's already in league with him they're just sure as pushing the price up in the book julian
14:18over ten times the value just to save face and half that money went straight into sebastian's pocket
14:24well prince sebastian i wonder exactly how much you're willing to pay to play the hero for my sister
14:29his limit is one million gold coins he'll stop right there and wait for julian to take the bait
14:34nine hundred and ninety thousand gold coins it is always doubling the bid one more raise from
14:40sebastian and julian will definitely hit two million then both the treasure and the money will be mine
14:46one million anyone else one million gold coins going once twice one million sold congratulations to
14:56prince sebastian on winning the eternal guardian wait why aren't you bidding sold where am i supposed to

16:35at julian started his downward spiral into ruin julian don't let narissa and sebastian destroy you
17:03did you forget this auction house is my property you are declaring open war on the kingdom of valeria

19:25even touched that brat yet he's still under my spell with him on my side no one dared to touch
19:31me oh no
19:33i remember now nerissa's poison arrows contain a mind control curse in the book that's how she
19:41manipulated felix has manipulated felix into entering the enemy camp alone to frame him at the spot

20:30i almost forgot about this old geezer don't tell me he still can't see the truth and plans to
20:37punish julian in the book alaric just tried to speak up for julian and this old man banished
20:43them to the black domian abyss for the royal hunt he called it training but it was a death sentence
20:49they were swarmed by high level beasts alaric lost a leg and julian's manor veins were shattered
20:56protecting him he became a total cripple father may i hold sarah as well and then there's poor felix
21:03he was supposed to be the champion of the hunt titled the god of war and lead our armies to
21:09victory
21:10but in the book nerissa made sure he never even made it back from the border the next time he
21:16saw
21:16father was on the battlefield as enemies such a tragic enough you're just ganging up on me when my father
21:24finishes his meditation he'll slaughter you all fine since you're so confident we'll see you at the royal
21:29hunt let's see who kills who return to the palace
21:39don't touch me aren't you afraid i'll run over there right now and tell them exactly who you really
21:44are useless trash stay away from me if it weren't for my grand plan i'd rip your tongue out right
21:49now

21:53don't forget we are allies for the hunt you'd better mean that
22:02tomorrow is the royal hunt all three of you will participate and fight for the honor of valeria
22:10this old man is so stubborn he's a hopeless case he knows it's a trap and he's still sending them
22:16naraza and sebastian have already set a deadly trap in the mist forest my three tall handsome rich
22:22brothers are walking straight to their deaths
22:28i'll have secret guards watching nerissa she won't be allowed to leave the palace wait the old geezer is
22:34actually waking up looks like nerissa's little act is falling apart as for sarah she cannot go i will
22:41stay at the palace to protect her personally are you kidding me i take it back how can you leave
22:48me
22:48here with nerissa she'll suck my soul dry while you're napping help i want to go to the hunt with
22:55my brothers don't leave me in this death trap father i think we should take sarah with us
23:03exactly she has mother's ring and the eternal guardian in terms of defense
23:07she's actually the safest one among us sarah is our lucky star who knows maybe she'll be the one
23:15protecting us there's definitely a generation gap with the old man my brothers are the best
23:22fine fine have it your way but the four of you must stay together do not let your guard down
23:30welcome to the annual royal hunt whoever captures the legendary sacred stag will be crowned this year's
23:38champion now i declare let the hunt begin
23:52nerissa
23:54what are you doing here you three must have pitied me so didn't wake me up
24:00that's why i'm a bit late nonsense who authorized your release you are not participating in this hunt
24:06return to the palace at once why why can a foundling baby go but i your daughter cannot
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
24:29the energy she's about to strike father look out old man nerissa the forest is incredibly dangerous
24:36father is only concerned for your safety my my if you brothers don't want nerissa i certainly do
24:45nerissa since your brothers don't cherish you come with me instead fine since you're so eager to be the
24:51fool take her with you brothers let's move out sarah is losing her patience that baby is a total jinx
24:57nothing but bad luck whenever she's around fine i'll go without sebastian for now and wait for the
25:03perfect moment to strike then i thank you prince sebastian let's go
25:16four at 50 meters to the left combat power two stars juliet 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 nerissa said
25:30it's specific for felix because she knows he loves the scent of that herb that was close i almost fell
25:37for it again felix what's wrong nothing i just feel like the mist is getting thicker of course it's
25:44thick sebastian has already activated the forbidden scroll he's turning this forest into an inescapable
25:50labyrinth julian do you have any treasures that can break through a labyrinth seal it seems completely
25:54useless against the seal tainted with dark magic of course it won't work the forest guardian the sacred
26:00stag has been trapped by the wicked array they set up beforehand with the stag trapped the forest's
26:06purication is gone if you guys don't find the stag and break the seal by midnight every pure soul in
26:12this
26:12forest you become fuel for the rest of dark magic that includes me she'll drain me dry help help help
26:20since we can't walk out of here locate the stag directly don't be afraid sarah as long as we're here
26:26we won't let anything happen to you wow my brothers are the best come on think where exactly is the
26:34sacred
26:34stag oh i remember now it's under that withered millennial oak tree that's the heart of the forest
26:42and the center of the array the stag is trapped in a dark magic seal called the eternal cage
26:51the poor stag those black chains are draining its life force brothers look there are four skulls around
26:58the array those are the anchor points they must be destroyed at the same time four anchor points but
27:06there are only three of us there's me too the sapphire necklace around my neck the eternal guardian its
27:13power is the perfect counter for this evil stuff just throw it over sarah this is our only shot
27:23julian felix get ready on three one two three
27:38you're useless you couldn't even keep the labyrinth seal intact and you promised they'd never return
27:45what do you know you think they've won just because they freed that stag that was the trap within
27:52the trap the true dark magic isn't in those skulls it is inside the stag itself as long as they
27:58get close
27:58to that beast the first 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
28:21it's too late it's too late the curse has already sent aleric
28:47my god the sacred stag of this forest has submitted to her on its own
28:52it's a soul covenant from now on the power of this entire forest belongs to her
28:57as long as she stands on this land she is practically a goddess
29:08sarah is that you oh my god i'm grown up i can speak heaven has finally to its senses
29:18brothers brothers sarah you can speak i can actually talk finally all the things i've been screaming in
29:27my head i can finally say them out loud how can this be where is my power where is my
29:37dark magic
29:38it seems the forest's spiritual energy has drained 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
30:15this gentle kind at prince enaris he is in truth a witch who has practiced dark magic for many years
30:23before this hunt she forced her dark magic past its limit hoping to wipe out my brothers in the forest
30:29but the forest's pure energy turned against her and now every ounce of her power is gone
30:36felix poisoning 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
30:53father's love the princess's devotion the fate of the kingdom until that filthy

32:00magic she she has fallen into a deep slumber how could this be undone the curse is bound to the

32:40this
32:41home let 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 it's no use
32:58her magic is gone she can do nothing now
33:01From the day father brought this little one home from the wilderness.
33:04Every single day we heard her chattering in our minds.
33:08So loud, so annoying.
33:11And yet now...
33:14Why is it so dark?
33:16Where is this?
33:18Sarah?
33:19I feel like I'm dreaming.
33:22But this dream feels so real.
33:24I can feel someone holding my hand.
33:27Brother, you heard that too.
33:29We heard it.
33:31It's Sarah, it's her voice.
33:35What is it?
33:37Has Sarah woken?
33:38Hmm, do I smell hot milk?
33:41Is that father?
33:42Father, why are you up this late warming milk for me?
33:46You're not getting younger, you need your rest.
33:50Sarah, my Sarah.
33:53You'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 Nerissa.
34:23And then she lunged at me.
34:25No, wait.
34:26Why did I grow to seven years old?
34:29I rushed it.
34:31In the original story, Nerissa was supposed to be cornered by many forces much later.
34:36Only 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?
34:58Let 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.
35:16That is her true ending in the book.
35:18I have to let the story follow that thread.
35:21Only when Nerissa walks her original fate to the end
35:24will I have any chance of waking.
35:26But I am asleep now.
35:29I cannot 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?
36:00The story must return to its rightful course.
36:03Nerissa 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?
36:23Your Highness.
36:25I have come to help you unite the two kingdoms.
36:29You?
36:30A powerless wretch?
36:31With 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.
36:54Tell me how, Your Highness.
36:56I will do anything.
36:58I may have lost my magic, but my spy inside Valeria's palace was never discovered.
37:04That is enough.
37:09In the original story, Narissa's first move was to use her hidden contact inside the palace to feed intel to
37:15Sebastian.
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.
37:31Every three days, he leaves under the pretest of delivering feed.
37:35Each time by a different route at a different hour.
37:38Seize him.
37:40Question 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.
37:57This 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.
38:17In seven days, Valeria will depatch 3,000 elite troops to the eastern frontier, with Prince Julian personally overseeing the
38:25supplies.
38:27In ten days, the northern garrison rotates, and Prince Felix is ordered to train new recruits in the north.
38:33In other words, on the 8th of next month, Valeria's eastern frontier will be an empty city, defended only by
38:41leaderless 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 of it.
38:53And so the sleeping princess waited, and waited, for a thousand years.
38:59Narissa attended Sebastian's war council today.
39:03She predicts our army's movements.
39:07In the original story, Sebastian sends a spy to Valeria to verify.
39:11This is the critical moment for our false intelligence.
39:14If the spy sees what Narissa said, word for word, Sebastian will believe her completely.
39:19But how would father and my brothers ever think this far ahead?
39:23Your highness, every word Princess Narissa spake is true.
39:32Excellent. What a goddess of prophecy.
39:34Issue my command.
39:35In ten days, our army marches.
39:37We crush Valeria's eastern frontier in a single strike!
39:46Help me seize Valeria, and I shall make you my queen.
39:50Foolish man.
39:52Once I am your queen and bear your son,
39:55all of Viramond will also be mine.
40:04Felix, 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.
40:44If your highness leads the raid in person,
40:47Prince Alaric can be captured in a single strike.
40:52Prince Alaric, that hordy, cold-faced heir of Valeria.
40:56I shall have him groveling at my feet!
41:01Did Serra send you to protect me as well?
41:08Alaric, heir of Valeria.
41:11Surprised are you?
41:12You! Tonight I come for your head!
41:23Welcome.
41:32An empty city, just as she said.
41:35Neressa, this time I shall reward you handsomely.
41:43From this day forth, Valeria's second defense line also belongs to me!
41:52The proud heir of Valeria kneeling at my feet. How does it feel?
41:57You should not have come yourself.
41:59I came precisely because I wanted to.
42:13Impossible. The intelligence clearly stated Valeria's main force was still in the capital.
42:19Princess, Valeria's main army is closing in from west, south and north.
42:23Our line of retreat has been cut.
42:27My intelligence could not be wrong.
42:31You set me up!
42:35Not me. It was my little sister, who still lies sleeping.
42:40Not me.
42:57Father, Alaric, we did it.
43:02Yes, my Sarah. We did it.
43:13You lying witch! You have doomed his highness!
43:22Impossible. How can this be?
43:29Speak. The child in your Bemi, is it mine?
43:34Your highness, of course it is yours.
43:41Your highness! This young woman is not with child at all!
43:45You wretched horde! You dared perceive me!
43:51Calm yourself, your highness.
43:53There is yet one more thing you do not know.
43:55Speak!
43:57This princess Nerissa is no true Valeria princess.
44:01She is an orphan our father took in twenty years ago.
44:04From the chaos of war.
44:08What? A ward?
44:09I, Sebastian, lost an army and disgraced my crown.
44:14For a swindling woman.
44:16Without a drop of royal blood.
44:20Let 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, you initiated unprovoked war and invaded Valeria, bringing suffering upon the people of both lands.
44:48By the treaty between our two kingdoms, how shall you be judged?
44:51Your majesty of Valeria, our king will cede six eastern border cities in reparution, plus ten thousand gold coins annually
45:01for 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.
45:13He may return home only after that term is fulfilled.
45:17Nerissa, you were my ward.
45:19I treated you as my own daughter, and yet, you practiced the dark arts.
45:23Poisoned my youngest son, framed my second, conspired against the royal house, committed high treason, and struck down my own
45:30daughter!
45:31Father, do you still not see?
45:34I was meant to be your only daughter, the only princess of Valeria!
45:38Your son's devotion, your tender love, the fate of this kingdom, 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, exiled to the Frozen Islands, never to return!
46:10No! Not the Frozen Islands! All of this was supposed to be mine! All of this was supposed to be
46:17mine!
46:17All of this was supposed to be mine! Was supposed to be mine!
46:19All of this was supposed to be mine!
46:29Your Highness, tomorrow is the Little Princess's coronation. His Majesty has decreed, tonight no one is to keep vigil. He
46:37will sit with her alone.
46:39Very well.
46:44Little one, tomorrow is your coronation. These past few years, father has aged greatly.
46:50Coronation? Me? I've slept so long. The story should have returned to its course long ago. Why have I not
46:59woken? What is still missing? What is missing?
47:05My Sarah, tomorrow is your coronation. This 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. These past years, your father and your three brothers have done everything imaginable.
47:26Neressa is exiled to the frozen isles. Sebastian has paid his price and returned home. Velouria 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. If only you would call me father one more time.
47:52I would surrender all the rest.
48:04Father.
48:07Sarah, my Sarah.
48:09Father, Sarah has come home.
48:14I am not the heroine of this story. I am only a daughter, lifted from the wilderness by her father's
48:20hands. This time, I will simply be that daughter.
48:29Father didn't return all night. I thought something had happened.
48:33Good morning, Felix. Why does Felix look at me like he's seen a ghost? It's not as if I actually
48:39died.
48:42Sarah, you're awake! You're awake!
48:45Felix! My milk is going to spill!
48:49Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!
48:52Brother, I've waited for you for so long.
48:55Goodness! So much commotion this early in the morning, my eyeliner is going to run!
48:59Julian, when have you ever worn eyeliner?
49:02Sarah, the coronation, do you wish for it to precede a schedule?
49:05Yes. Sarah is father's daughter. Sarah is the princess of Velouria.
49:10From today onward, Sarah will truly bear this name.
49:14I have never asked you, Sarah. Do you truly wish to call me father?
49:19Yes.
49:22It was you who lifted Sarah from the wilderness. You have given Sarah everything.
49:29Father, Sarah 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. I 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,
50:30bearer of the crown's honor of our glory, of every pure 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,
50:51turning me into a baby abandoned in the wilderness, with nothing but tears.
50:56I thought I would change everything.
50:58But the truth is, my father in this place, and my three brothers,
51:02with their love, piece by piece, made me into the true Sarah Fauna.
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.
