00:00Duke gifted me silk straight from southern trade guilds.
00:03Once my legitimate heir is born, he'll formally elevate me to his equal wife.
00:06Still hunting gold in your useless coal pit, Sester?
00:11Wrap up warmer with winter creeping near.
00:14Don't catch a chill with your precious unborn baby.
00:21As ordered, madam, we've secured nearly all loose coal stock across five nearby townships.
00:26Most of the region's coal supply is now ours.
00:33The Bitter Frost Moon
00:33Mummy, I sense a shift in the celestial winds.
00:36The Bitter Frost Moon will descend three months ahead of schedule across these lands.
00:41Continue buying coal and all firewood stock plants.
00:45I alone will control this realm's winter supply.
00:50Lady Howard, you've hoarded nearly 70% of the region's loose coal in a single month.
00:56The Merchant Guild demands an explanation!
00:59Master Herring, I'm researching a manuscript mapping Northern March's mineral evolution.
01:03These coal piles serve as research specimens.
01:05A scholarly manuscript requires this massive stockpile of coal?
01:08Mapping regional mineral veins demands ample samples.
01:11Thoroughness runs in Windsor blood.
01:16That was a close call, madam.
01:18Your Windsor education finally comes in handy, mom.
01:22Your Grace.
01:24She fooled the Guild with her research excuse.
01:27Yet her mine output far exceeds any reasonable academic need.
01:30Let the silly woman drain her last coins digging dirt with dwarves.
01:33Nothing fruitful will ever come of it.
01:36Shall we intervene?
01:37Leave her be!
01:38Her foolish ventures only prove I made the right choice parting ways with her.
01:43Arsonists, fetch water and sand to put out the flames!
01:55This embroidery bears the Howard crest!
01:58A fire was set by folk from within the manor wall!
02:03Friends all, my poor sister's mind seems added.
02:06Wasting her fortune on abandoned mines and consorting with rough dwarves is no sane lady's conduct.
02:12I shall commission a mental evaluation for Elena at once.
02:15If proven unfit, all her assets will fall under deductity management.
02:18Before judging my sanity, Duke, perhaps audit your own disastrous ledger first.
02:22Tom, move every last coal stock to our hidden woodland warehouse tonight via dwarf trails.
02:27Avoid all duket patrols.
02:28Rest assured, madam, Grom has finalized all arrangements.
02:32The blizzard hits tonight! Temperatures plummet any moment!
02:37Then let the cold arrive.
02:46Why is the hearth cold? Where is our firewood and coal?
02:50Your Grace, our fire stores ran dry overnight and all local coal merchants have closed shop.
02:56Not a single lump of coal can be bought anywhere in town.
03:00That woman, she bought every scrap of coal in the entire city!
03:06Ride for the coal pines at once!
03:09Bring back all our coal reserves!
03:18The mines are completely emptied, Your Grace.
03:21No coal, no stock, nothing but empty tunnels left behind.
03:33Elena! How dare you set such outrageous prices!
03:37These are my private goods.
03:38I set the price and no credit is extended to anyone.
03:42You have no right to do this!
03:45I've heard premium smokeless coal is sold here.
03:49Your Highness!
03:50Madam Elena, I'll purchase your entire stock on the spot with three full chests of gold.
04:03It's a deal.
04:05Duke Howard, the greatest treasure slipped right before your eyes yet you lacked the wisdom to cherish it.
04:19One sack of coal per household, enough to last half a month.
04:23Families with more children take priority.
04:27My three grandchildren nearly froze to death over five bitter days.
04:34Blessed lady!
04:36Please rise us at the icy ground.
04:40Come to Yaguang Warehouse on the first of every month.
04:43For free coal from now on.
04:49Long live Madam Elena!
04:52She's a living angel among us!
04:54That reckless woman wastes precious coal on beggars and turns the whole realm's nobility against our house!
05:03Worse still, common folks sing her praises and mock our Howard name.
05:08Your Grace, I schedule personal invitation right to your Prince Regent.
05:13Requesting Madam Elena for trade talks at Maple Leaf Tea House.
05:19Keep close surveillance on her.
05:22I'll watch how far she climbs.
05:25A discarded divorcer cannot possibly win the Regent's favor.
05:29It'll bring our clan nothing but shame.
05:33Royal Alchemists rave about your coal's unmatched quality.
05:36I wish to secure long-term trade partnership with you.
05:40Your Hidester's offer is appreciated.
05:42Yet, I'd like to discuss paper manufacturing instead of coal today.
05:46Paper?
05:47A third of Northern March's land lies barren sailing wasteland.
05:50Yet saltbush thrives there.
05:52Its sturdy fiber makes paper at 40% of southern bamboo paper's cost.
05:57Intriguing.
05:58What's your profit-split proposal?
06:0060 for me, 40 for you.
06:0250-50 is already an exceedingly generous industry standard for cooperation.
06:06You provide land and royal authority.
06:09I fund all manpower technology and total venture risk.
06:1260% is more than reasonable.
06:18Very well, we have a contact.
06:20The wind picks up.
06:22Keep your unborn child from catching cold.
06:26Mommy, this lord is far handsomer and kinder than your useless ex-husband.
06:39One hundred.
06:44Elena!
06:45You consort with other men while still wed to me!
06:48Shameless hugs!
06:50Duke Howard, you've trespassed the regent's private premises
06:53and publicly slandered a pregnant noble lady.
06:57Are you certain you wish to besit?
07:01She's still my legal spouse.
07:02The same spouse you forced into a separation agreement?
07:05The same woman you plotted to rob of her fortune via fraudulent insanity charges?
07:11Where was your spousal regard when you lavished gemstone necklaces on your mistress?
07:16When she paraded her fine gowns to humiliate me?
07:19From this day onward, do you hold no right to speak a single word to me?
07:31I quit!
07:33For three hundred years straight, all I've done is tally dragon hordes and angel stipples.
07:38One more ledger and my wings will wither away entirely!
07:40Lady Lilith, the coronation's gone way over budget!
07:43The alchemy workshop's expense logs are due and Her Majesty demands an immediate audit!
07:47Mercy! I need a vacation!
07:49Celestial Covenant grants spirits who have finished karmic trials a hundred-day meal leave,
07:53and I'm taking it right now!
07:55Your fate is tied to Duke Howard of Northern Marches.
07:58His ancestor once siphoned a whiff of heavenly fortune,
08:02leaving the household's finances precarious.
08:05Duchess Elena is about to go into labor, so you shall descend there.
08:10What a lovely mother! I'm off to be a spoiled, carefree young heiress!
08:14Wait, the Howards detest daughters and their manners filled with bitter infighting.
08:19Never mind, a fortune spirit walking among mortals, they're the ones who will regret it.
08:23Your grace, old doucher, the Duchess is carrying a baby girl without a shadow of a doubt!
08:29The Howard domain needs a legitimate heir, not another mouth to waste our provisions.
08:33Victor, this child cannot live.
08:35Victor, the healer could be mistaken!
08:37It might yet be a son!
08:39Serena's four months pregnant already, and the Bishop confirms she bears our heir.
08:43I must secure her and my son's lawful standing.
08:47This £20,000 draft and the abandoned Northern Manor are yours.
08:51Sign the papers and end this pregnancy, and you may depart with your dignity intact.
09:00This is your own flesh and blood!
09:02You'd cast her aside just for a dancer's bastard!
09:05Our family's trade keeps bleeding gold.
09:07I need a robust heir to stabilize Northern Marches, not a useless burden.
09:14Her Majesty totally set me up.
09:16I was promised an easy life as a wealthy noble's daughter.
09:19But Mom's getting cast aside instead?
09:23Who's there?
09:24Who's speaking?
09:26No need to search, Mommy.
09:28I'm inside your belly.
09:30Want proof?
09:31I'll kick your left side right now.
09:36I'm your personal fortune sprite here to protect you.
09:39The Duke's household means nothing to me.
09:42Stick with me, and we'll turn you into the realm's richest woman!
09:46Elena, what are you muttering about?
09:49Don't feign madness to stall for time.
09:53Don't back down, Mom! Give him a piece of your mind!
09:56We've got endless wealth ahead. We don't need his worthless coin!
10:03You'll live to regret this choice, Victor.
10:05Huh? Regret? With your useless poetry education and your broke natal house fortune dried up?
10:12Head down to the abandoned tower basement.
10:15Pry loose the thirds and sprick. There's your late father-in-law's hidden vault.
10:20A secret even your useless husband never found!
10:24All your handmaidens are dismissed effective immediately, your jewelry and fine cloments cut off.
10:29Let's see how long your stubborn pride lasts.
10:35Fear not, Mommy. My divine power's sealed in mortal realms so I can't conjure a mountain of gold,
10:41but a pouch of coins for daily needs is trivial.
10:46It's genuine solid gold. I can't believe my eyes!
10:56Left side, keep digging down right there!
11:03The old Duke really left a Boutbuck fortune!
11:06With this, not only can I raise our child, I could purchase half the kingdom!
11:16That's just the start, Mom. A brutal cold skit's rolling in soon.
11:21Buy up every worthless coal pit nearby and watch your ex beg you for fuel to stay warm.
11:27Madam, this necklace is the last heirloom left from your Windsor kin.
11:32Are those barren coal pits truly worth parting of it?
11:35Material trinkets can't keep us safe. Complete the sale.
11:40Hurry straight to the notary's office! Everyone thinks these pits are worthless dirt holes,
11:46but deep underground lies ore precious enough to drive alchemists mad with greed!
11:51Oh dear sister, why are you dressed so plainly?
11:54Word travels fast you pawned your family jewelry to buy those useless dirt mines on the city's outskirts.
11:59Elena, your Windsor sculling only taught you to squander money?
12:02You cannot even tell coal from plain rock. You've become Northern March's biggest laughing stock.
12:07Duke, laugh all you want now. Just don't come crawling to me later.
12:15Keep close watch on her. Find out what foolish scheme she's plotting.
12:21My lady, this mine shut down two years ago. Nothing but dust and rubble, and dust lies beneath these soils.
12:31Tell the bearded dwarf to dig three feet down at that patch of ap earth to the left mummy!
12:38Master Grom, dig exactly where I point you.
12:48By the Holy Spirit! Premium smokeless coal! Only royal alchemical furnaces ever burn coal of such fine grade!
12:58We've struck it rich! Seal off all news of our find! These deposits will crush his arrogant pride!
13:07Tom, hire more dwarf miners to work round the clock. Ensure none of Victor's spies catch wind of our discovery.
13:26The Duke gifted me silk straight from southern trade guilds. Once my legitimate heir is born,
13:31he'll formally elevate me to his equal wife. Still hunting gold in your useless coal pit, Sester?
13:38Wrap up warmer with winter creeping near.
13:42Don't catch a chill with your precious unborn baby.
13:50As ordered, madam, we've secured nearly all loose coal stock across five nearby townships.
13:56Most of the region's coal supply is now ours.
14:03Mummy, I sense a shift in the celestial winds. The bitter frost moon will descend three months
14:08ahead of schedule across these lands. Continue buying coal and all firewood stockpiles.
14:16I alone will control this realm's winter supply.
14:22Lady Howard, you've hoarded nearly 70% of the region's loose coal in a single month.

19:49A third of Northern March's land lies barren saline wasteland.
19:52Yet saltbush thrives there.
19:54Its sturdy fibre makes paper at 40% of southern bamboo paper's cost.
19:59Intriguing.
20:00What's your profit split proposal?
20:0260 for me, 40 for you.
20:0550-50 is already an exceedingly generous industry standard for cooperation.
20:09You provide land and royal authority.
20:12I fund all manpower technology and total venture risk.
20:1560% is more than reasonable.

20:36The wind picks up.
20:37The wind picks up.
20:47The wind picks up.
20:51Elena!
20:52You consort with other men while still wed to me!
20:55Shameless Hux!
20:58Duke Howard, you've trespassed the region's private premises and publicly slandered a pregnant noble lady.
21:06Are you certain you wish to persist?
21:09She is still my legal spouse.
21:11The same spouse you forced into a separation agreement?
21:14The same woman you plotted to rob of her fortune via fraudulent insanity charges?
21:19Oh my god!
21:21Where was your spousal regard when you lavished gemstone necklaces on your mistress?
21:26When she paraded her fine gowns to humiliate me?
21:29From this day onward, you hold no right to speak a single word to me.
21:46Don't drink that tonic, mummy! I smell toxic herbs mixed inside!
21:54Martha, who prepared this medicinal boo?
21:57The kitchen head cook. Same as always, madam.
22:00She lies! Make her take a sip first to prove its safety!
22:05One hundred.
22:07It's cold out. Drink a bowl to warm yourself first.
22:11I dare not share your personal medicine, madam!
22:17Who ordered you to poison me?
22:19One hundred.
22:20Speak the truth!
22:22It was Serena!
22:23She paid fifty gold coins to lace your medicine with aborted poison weeds!
22:30Tom.
22:32Take her full sworn testimony and record every single word.
22:37We'll settle this debt in due time.
22:43Taper the waist a half inch, add sable-clare trim around cuffs, triple the retail pricing.
22:48Triple the price? Who would afford such costly garments?
22:53Scarcity drives high-end demand. Noble patrons will fight to purchase them.
22:58Mommy's mastered celestial luxury pricing strategy perfectly!
23:02Please!
23:05Madam, my examination confirms beyond all doubt Serena bears no child whatsoever.
23:09Is there any margin of error?
23:11She consumes monthly delaying potions and stuffs cloth padding beneath her dress to fake pregnancy.
23:14Her pulse bears no sign of gestation.
23:16He abandoned his own blood and me for a fabricated heir.
23:20More darming evidence. Our spies intercepted her love letters to an out-of-town parasite.
23:25She planned buying an infant off the black market to pass as Howard's heir.
23:30A crude baby swap scam.
23:32Shall we expose her fraud immediately?
23:36Let the scheme play out a little longer.
23:39Mommy's brilliant!
23:54This cut is absolutely unparalleled across the whole kingdom!
23:59May I place my order now?
24:01I'm the dowager of the Howard household!
24:04I need no queue for garments! Step aside at once!
24:08Madam Dowager, our mistress' rules permit no exceptions. Pay in queue like every other patron.
24:13How dare you defy your elders!
24:18This shop is my private property and bears no Howard name.
24:22You may purchase goods only by waiting in line and paying full price.
24:40You may purchase goods only by waiting in line and paying full price.
24:40Elena, you stand accused of embezzling 3,000 gold crowns from the Ducal treasury.
24:45I have full authority to search these premises.
24:47Search all you wish.
24:56Here's irrefutable proof. These pearls were stolen straight from our family vault!
25:00Keep Terp searching beneath the cushion. There is more evidence waiting for you.
25:10That is your personal bond, pledging a sestral Howard lands to loan sharks with your signature and personal seal.
25:16Such estates belong to the entire clan, not you alone.
25:20Victor! How could you margid our ancestral inheritance without clan consent?
25:26This is a vicious frame-up!
25:27If you seek the culprit who placed these pearls in my chambers, question the handmaid servant Serena.
25:43My lady, this barren patch cannot even sustain grazing livestock, though the land deed costs merely 80 gold years.
25:51Head 20 paces east to that big blue boulder! Dig right there!
25:58Begin your excavation at this stone.
26:00As you command, my lady.
26:05By the divine spirits, pure natural crystal of the finest grade, a single mountain's worth
26:11could supply our minds for 30 full years!
26:14Just a trivial find for me!
26:23What shall we set as its retail price?
26:26Five hundred gold coins per piece?
26:28Set it at five thousand.
26:29House each ornament in sandalwood cases paired with official Yaguang appraisional certificates,
26:33and limit the first batch to ten pieces total.
26:35My lady has mastered merchant pricing superfluous.
26:37This spirit approves wholeheartedly.
26:39Three days later, all ten crystal jewelry pieces were snapped up by the imperial concondis.
26:44Alina's wealth officially surpassed that of all established merchant families in the capital.
26:48Ladies, I intend to open a private women's vault,
26:51offering confidential deposit and loan services exclusively for noblewomens.
26:55A bank built solely for women to keep their savings?
26:59How many of you have had your dowies seized by husbands or in-laws?
27:03Here, your fortune remains entirely your own.
27:07Half my marriage dowie was gambled away by mother-in-law.
27:15You've spoken for far too long.
27:17Have a grape to refresh yourself.
27:21One hundred gold coins.
27:23I'm blushing for my mother with such open affection!
27:34One hundred gold coins.
27:37How did the timid woman I once known transform into this powerful figure?
27:43Victor! Settle your outstanding debts immediately!
27:45If you default on the ancestral land mortgage, we shall bring our case before the royal court!
27:52Gentlemen, grant me a short extension.
27:53Your grace has delayed repayment three months running.
27:55Do you intend to cheat your creditors?
27:58Elena, lend me five thousand gold coins.
28:01Duke, you once mocked me as too foolish to tell coal from ordinary stones.
28:06Do you still think I lack such basic judgment now?
28:09I beg for your mercy.
28:10Mother, show him no compassion.
28:15By royal decree, Elena is conferred the rank of First Class Merchant Dame.
28:22Granted official state seal and the right of direct royal audience.
28:32Sign this separation contract and all ties between us are severed forever.
28:40The pain!
28:41Keep your heads off me!
28:43Where is my heir?
28:45My son?
28:45Your grace, Serena carries no child within her womb at all.
28:54Deceitful witch!
28:55You fooled our entire household for half a year!
28:58Madam Downger, hear my explanation!
29:00Explain how you tricked us with a stuffed pillow, or how you plotted to purchase an infant to pass off
29:05as noble blood.
29:06I acted out of foolish desperation!
29:07Foolishness!
29:09We hold a hundred love letters between you and your parasaur, alongside your infant purchase chat!
29:13I abandoned Elena and my own unborn daughter for your lies!
29:17Victor, please listen to me!
29:19Do not touch me ever again!
29:22I signed these papers.
29:24Our bond is broken eternally.
29:27My lord, what plans do you hold for the days ahead?
29:30What plans?
29:31The whole realm laughs at my foolishness.
29:33The regent humiliated me openly and Elena cast our marriage aside without hesitation.
29:36The Howard name lies in ruin.
29:38I could arrange safe passage out of the Northern Territory.
29:41Flee?
29:43Every corner of the kingdom knows the foolish dute's disgrace.
29:46When exactly did Elena grow into such an extraordinary woman?
29:50Eight crates of South Sea pearls,
29:52twelve caskets of rough ruby oil,
29:55twelve scrolls of ancestral Winson artwork.
29:57Load every last item onto carriages,
29:59including all my dowry land deeds.
30:01Leave nothing behind.
30:02Elena, you leave me not even a single decent garment.
30:08Your robes belong to you.
30:10What kindness or provision did you ever spare for me?
30:18Mother, we're fully free from all ties to this estate.
30:22Step forward.
30:24And begin your new life with me.
30:31This new father is Leeds better than that worthless former dute.
30:42Victor.
30:43One hundred more.
30:44I'm starving.
30:48Give me that food!
30:49Beg elsewhere, Leeds!
30:56One hundred are you.
31:03One hundred are you.
31:08One hundred are you.
31:10Is that the former Duke Howard?
31:12How terribly impoverished he's become.
31:15He drove the wealthiest woman in the realm away with his own arrogance.
31:19He deserves every hardship.
31:32Ninety-nine gift checks.
31:33No more and no less of my betrothal off.
31:37You'll break down my courtyard gate with such extravagant gifts.
31:41I shall repair it if need be.
31:44Or give myself to you as compensation.
31:46Can the new father restrain his fond words in public?

34:47Mr. Speak up to me!
34:51I'm hungry.
35:00The Duke, who once despised coal as dirty, now has blackened hands, toiled in the kiln day after day.
35:17One hundred of you.
35:25The Regent pledges half his realm as wedding dowry. Such grandeur has never been seen in our lifetimes.
35:31Word says the old dowager lurks nearby to witness the ceremony.
35:42My lady's feast wine is never shared with those who betrayed her. You must leave.
35:56One hundred of you.
36:00One hundred of you.
36:04This academy was founded entirely by Dame Elena, tasked with nurturing the next generation of skilled merchants across the northern
36:10realm.
36:11Honour her with your respect.
36:13Might you share your secret to rising from poverty to immense wealth in nearly months?
36:18My husband's trading house seeks a formal partnership with Yaguang Guild.
36:22All trade knowledge shall be taught within these classroom walls.
36:25Enroll your daughters first, and business talks may follow afterward.
36:37Elayna has risen to noble consort now.
36:40Foolish victor.
36:42You cast away your own treasure with blind pride.
36:45One hundred of you.
36:53How much longer has labour lasted?
36:55Nearly two hours.
36:56Her ladyship forbids your entry to spare you the gruesome sight of childbirth.
37:00I care not for hardship!
37:03A daughter is born healthy and thriving!
37:10One hundred of you.
37:14Where does that heavenly radiance originate?
37:18It comes from the regent's manor.
37:21Such warm, divine light.
37:23He didn't know that what was born in that light was the flesh and blood he had personally pushed away.
37:27He has no idea that within that child's body resides a treasure-collecting spirit from the celestial realm.
37:36Mother, your spirit companion has officially arrived in the mortal world!
37:42Welcome into this world, my precious baby.
37:53You endured great hardship for our child.
37:55No hardship at all. Look how peaceful she rests.
37:59Greetings, new father! I approve of you fully!
38:02Can a newborn smile and react so soon after birth?
38:06I've delivered inference for forty years and never seen such a blessed child with crystal clear eyes!
38:11Wonderful news!
38:13Our merchant fleet, missing half a year, has returned to harbour loaded with rare spices and southern jewels!
38:19Two blessings arriving on the same day.
38:21Good fortune follows wherever I go. This is nearly the beginning.
38:24Your highness, divine golden light, bless the manor on the infant's birthnight.
38:28This young lady is heaven-blessed. Every townsfolk witness the miracle glow.
38:32She is destined for extraordinary greatness.
38:34What name shall he bestow upon our daughter?
38:37Her pet name shall be gold coin, a joyful fitting monotron for our lucky treasure.
38:42Perfect name! That is my calling!
38:45A blessed and auspicious naming team.
38:49This royal sacred medal is our realm's highest honour.
38:53From today onward, the crown shall protect your daughter.
38:56She requires no outside protection, for she carries fortune and radiance within herself.
39:07One hundred artists.
39:09This sacred relic glows of its own accord.
39:12A trivial trick. Innate fortune aura is my birthright.
39:21It's the grandest mobile estate in the northern lands.
39:25His former duke now labours digging coal for a living.
39:28Mother! He goes well among these broken walls.
39:32Speak no such nonsense.
39:33Only a foolish shot's out of your blood.
39:35I'm sorry.
39:39This cove has ideal terrain to build a deep water harbour.
39:43Expanding our overseas shipping routes.
39:46My lady, constructing such a large port demands staggering manpower and wealth.
39:52Mother build exactly here. Hidden reefs form natural defence,
39:57and warm currents keep the harbour ice-free all year long.
40:01We shall build here, as our infant advisor approves.
40:06But my lady, she is barely a month old.
40:10Her wisdom surpasses yours.
40:12Half a year later, the Deepwater Port Trade Centre was completed.
40:16The original small fishing village has transformed into a place that earns a fortune every day.
40:27Starting tomorrow, you transfer to the deepest mineshaft.
40:30Work there is far harsher.
40:34As you come on.
40:40The once pampered duke now can't even get a sip of clean water.
40:48This young lady bears the mark of lifelong prosperity and beauty.
40:52Has your trade enterprise expanded into southern territories recently?
40:55Thanks to Fortune's blazer, Yakuang Guild prepares to open southern branch establishments.
41:04Mother, that cloaked man in the corner spies on our business secret.
41:10Keep close watch over that road, gentlemen.
41:14It shall be done.
41:16Aren't you the former Howard Dowager?
41:18Kind soul, spare a bite of food for me.
41:21Beg elsewhere!
41:22You reap what you sowed after mistreating Lady Elena!
41:26I was blind and cruel. Every hardship is my just of those.
41:37Mother finally marries the worthy partner she deserves!
41:41Indeed. None of this would be possible without you.
41:48My lady's feast wine is never shared with those who betrayed her.
41:54You must leave.
41:57One hundred.
42:01My lady, we've crafted the first full body glass mirror across the entire continent.
42:06Excellent craftsmanship.
42:07House each mirror in sandalwood cases with official certification.
42:10Priced at five thousand gold coins a pest.
42:15Such stunning shimmer!
42:17This infant understands fine art already at such a tender age?
42:21Her insight succeeds your expectations.
42:26This is divine craftsmanship!
42:28I offer ten thoroughbred warhorses in exchange.
42:31I trade an entire wagon load of rare spices.
42:33I'll grant full mining rights to one of my silver mines!
42:36In just three months, Eilina exchanged the glazed mirror for the most precious resources from various countries.
42:42Her wealth has already taken control of the lifeblood of the manland economy.
42:48Word travels you were once a reigning duke.
42:52I was once, what of it?
42:54One hundred.
42:54How did you sink so low?
42:57Blinded by foolish prejudice.
43:04She's daddling!
43:05Miss your cool quarters and skip supper entirely!
43:17Good sir.
43:18Might I beg a sip on home, Dr. Water?
43:22Spare me your vile tricks.
43:24I know all your past crimes.
43:25It was you who stole my sister's husband and ruined her life!
43:30That is slander!
43:31Untrue!
43:32Serena was sentenced to be paraded through the streets and then exiled to the frontier.
43:36The rest of his life was spent under the scorching sun and the whip.
43:42My lady, our ledger cannot balance.
43:46Southern cargo losses run 30% higher than calculated projections.
43:52Miscalculation here.
43:53Base seven counted as eight.
43:57The child is correct!
43:59How is this possible for a two-year-old?
44:02Bookkeeping is core foundational skill for a treasure spirit.
44:09Little gold coin.
44:10What seed do you plant into the soil?
44:12Divine healing fruit.
44:14Its ripe fruit cures all mortal illnesses.
44:17The young miss speaks charming fantasy tales.
44:20This fabled longevity fruit vanishes ailment and lengthens mortal spymion.
44:26Blessed child, I name you Realm Guardian Goddess!
44:30Thank you, Grandmother Coom Downer.
44:32Accidentally exposed my true celestial power.
44:36Dame Elena rose from abandoned noble spouse to establish the Yaoguang Merchant Guild.
44:43Accumulating unmatched continental wealth.
44:46Her charitable works shelter countless common folk,
44:48and her business abnius reshaped our realm's economy.
44:51Posterity honors her as the goddess of fortune.
44:54Her legendary life could fill three complete history scrolls.
44:57Three volumes barely scratch the surface of her lifetime achievements.
45:13Elena!
45:15Hear my plea!
45:18Her lady should send this single copper coin of aloe.
45:27One hundred life.
45:29One hundred life.
45:31One hundred.
45:40One hundred.
45:42One hundred.
45:50The day mortal leave expires today.
45:53No! Do not leave me!
45:56I will never depart from your side.
45:59Your Majesty, I request permanent mortal residency.
46:02My family here is my true home, after accumulating countless good deeds alongside my mother.
46:07Lilith, once bound permanently to mortal flesh, you can never return to the celestial realm.
46:12Are you absolutely certain?
46:14I have made my choice.
46:15Tedious, endless celestial accounting holds no appeal compared to my beloved family.
46:20So be it. Always remember kindness outweighs all earthly treasure.
46:27Mother, I'm staying forever beside you.
46:32Wonderful news, my darling.
46:39Mother, what became of the old Howard Castle where you once lived?
46:43We tore it down to build a girls' academy for young ladies to learn literacy and merchant craft.
46:48What of the poor former Duke?
46:50He received the just consequences of his poor choices.
46:55He earned every bit of his suffering.
46:58Lady Elena will deliver a lecture here tomorrow.
47:01I shall study hard to follow in her footsteps.
47:04Always keep her words in mind.
47:06Women stand fully capable of building their own futures.
47:14Elena and Goldcoyne must live in boundless happiness now.
47:19Victor, your life's gravest mistake was abandoning your wife and child.
47:24Why not?
47:26I aim to grow as accomplished as you someday, Mother.
47:30You are already extraordinary, my sweet child.
47:34Our small happy family shall remain together for all our days.
